Basic Information
Name: Leo
Age: Age unknown, estimated to be at least 100 years old though, looks more around 25ish though
Species: Dhampir
Gender: Male
Description && Personality
Height: 5ft 10"
Eye color: Blue, that chilling soul searching ice blue colour
Hair color: Silver
Overall Description: Leo's skin tone is a pale alabaster white, with just the faintest hints of peach to it, his eyes are normally icey blue unless he's having trouble controlling his vampire side, then they generally switch to a dark blood red. Due to the rareity of his feeding habits, he rarely drinks off humans, his hair is always silver in colour, the same sort of silver as the moons light reflecting off of fresh snow. For the most part his hair is short, apart from four long braids that reach down to mid back - it often seems that these braids have their own life force, for they can be seen moving of their own accord.
Clothing wise, the only things that stay the same are his flared black jeans and low ankle boots. The flared jeans stay close against his skin until they hit just above the knee, then they start to flare out. they're long enough that they rest over the top of his boots nicely. Normally shoved either in their holsters on his belt or simply in the back of his jeans are the two guns of his trade, Trucido (Slayer) who is the more powerful of the two, and Ictus (Biter) who he uses to provide covering fire. He normally only takes Trucido with him to briefings, Ictus is an enchanted weapon. Trucido is made of black gunmetal and looks similar to a Glock its a magazine loaded gun. Ictus is smaller and made of silver gun metal, its still magazine loaded.
His tops, and coats can change depending on his mood. He can sometimes be seen wearing just a black leather vest top, with small steel studs running down the edging with his trousers, the top so well made that it fits to his every contour, or sometimes he'll be carrying a long black trench coat, gathered in slightly at the waist so it flares out when he's wearing it, over his shoulder. Other times, especially if its cold but he doesn't want to not wear the leather vest top, he'll wear the long black trench coat properly so as to keep him warm, it also acts brillantly to hide Trucido and Ictus from view. His last style is a ripped t-shirt - black of course, with a dark blue leather short jacket. Its one of his preferred styles to wear in spring.
Both of his coats hold one thing in common, on the mid back for both of them are what looks like four circular ornaments on them, few people realise that they're the tops of the small throwing blades his braids can use as weapons in a fight should he need the extra back up.
Weapons: Twin guns - Trucido and Ictus, as well as 4 small throwing knives that are for his braids
Personality: Leo can often come across as a loner. He likes to keep himself to himself, and hates people brushing against him. Its a sure fire way to get a hiss at the least. There are really two reasons for this. First off he hates people getting close because of his braids, and also he has no desire to accidentally let them see into his memories. He also fears his vampire side taking control over him, yet has no desire to be controlled by someone else should they find the secret of his braids out. Normally he speaks very little, though should he have no choice he can be quite a conversationalist.
He enjoys spending time with cats, even though it can take him some time to get them to trust him. He's also not afraid to stand up for himself and argue back no matter what if somethings wrong.
Likes: Being left alone, Quiet places, not being staked, cats
Dislikes: Not being left alone, idiots who scare his cats away with their noise, being staked, feeding from humans, his vampire side, slayers.
Fears: Death, losing control over his vampire side, The sun, being abandoned by the person who he's opened up to.
Powers&&Skills
Powers: Vampire Sense, this is almost vital in his field of work enabling him to sense out vampires.
Super Strength, speed, Improved hearing, better night vision - all of these are enhanced by his half vampire side.
Skills: Intelligence, survival skills, hand guns - he has the ability to fire twin guns at once.
Weaknesses: His braids - grab these he's held as a human, Bloodlust - he can't control his urges to feed and he hates the lack of control, Can't heal quickly - he's still hard to kill but serious injuries will knock him back quite a way.
History
History: Leo was born out of wedlock to a poor mother. The result of her earlier rape by the vampire that held this territory - Dracula. He grew up knowing only her care, and the villagers shunning of him and mother. He often watched the world outside the window, curious about it. Even more curious as to why mother took great pains when he was in the sun - helping with the chickens outside as much as he could for the most part - to call him in and not let him stay out so long. Though he had to admit that the sun did occasionally hurt his eyes, and he burnt quicker then any one else. His skin didn't toughen, or gain tan either. He was aware that this in itself marked him out as different but he didn't know why.
This continued until he was starting to look more like the age of 10 - in actual years he was more 20 years of age, that's when the first urge to feed took him. He couldn't control it and took the life of the person nearest to him, one of the labourers. So great was his thirst that he couldn't stop. He'd been sent to run messages and bring food for them by his mother. When he got back his home was on flames and an ugly mob was baying for his death.
Scared he turned and fled. He didn't know what to do, nor how to control those urges. Once he'd run his paniced state away he slowed his pace, only just starting to pant and sweat faintly. He could feel his pale white skin starting to burn and although part of him loved it - seeing it as punishment for the crime he'd committed - instinct caused him to shy into the shadows and find somewhere to stay. At least until nightfall.
The scent of dried blood though was starting to get to him by early evening. The feel of it clinging to his chin - for his first feed hadn't been neat and clean - sickening him. He staggered off out of the niche in the towering mountains he'd found hunting for a stream, longing to clean the stink and feel away. It was after this brief upset he swore he'd never feed from humans again. Indeed the thought of feeding was enough to get him retching even without the scent or taste.
As he wandered the wild, trying to avoid any humans he encountered a powerful fae witch. Desperate for any way to escape his cursed vampiric skills, yet recognising that they could also come in useful, he asked for some way to be able to temporarily seal away his powers, without it being openly visible. By that point he was already keeping most of his hair short apart from fine braids. Four fine braids. The Fae agreed, but also forced him to agree to one thing. He'd never feed from humans, and to let her place a spell on him to give him extra incentive to avoid feeding from humans.
Leo agreed, and his vampire side was forced to take up a permenant home in the four braids that he wore. He could never cut the braids off though, something that tempted him frequently. Instead he often kept them tied back - mainly arounds areas of human habitation - able to stay as a human now. To escape from the urges to feed. It didn't take long for him to find his particular abilities.
As a Dhampir he was very adept at sensing vampires. He was even more adept at hunting them down, it didn't take him long for him to request weapons that could kill a vampire. They gave him the usual weapons, and he used them - for a long time as well. Until he found someone who could make guns, custom make them to be strong and durable. He was also rumoured to be not of this world as it were.
It was from this new person that he got Trucido and Ictus custom built using new, modern, technology. These two weapons have stayed with him ever since, and he soon found Ictus wasn't a normal gun. It had been enchanted. From the point of getting these two weapons he has travelled the world, eventually making his way across the oceans by boat to America. From there he's travelled from town and village, keeping up his job as a vampire slayer.
Eventually he arrived at Mortalitas. This is where he's chosen to stay for longer then a few days, setting up abode in one of the abandoned apartment blocks on the old side of town. He's taken over the whole five storey building, living in the penthouse suite - the rest is taken up as his own personal training area.
RP Sample
RP Sample: Leo glanced around himself listening feeling those around him. He'd not come all this way and tracked this lycan for so long to lose its trail now. Suddenly he felt it again, yes it was closer now. Easily he moved through the darker shadows, his coat rippling in the draft of wind caused by his movements. A pause, once more he was listening. He could hear something bulky lumbering towards him. Quickly he moved to get out of the things immediate path should it come lumbering this way priming Trucido ready to fire, removing the safety off both guns. As the large lumbering brute of a Lycan came into view Leo had to wrinkle his nose in disgust. The scent of blood was obviously strong. It was obvious he'd killed recently.
Leo had just started to raise his guns ready to fire when the brute paused scenting the air. Suddenly it charged straight at him. Leo reacted on instinct alone at that point firing Ictus first shattering a leg before firing with Trucido trying to hit the heart rolling back as he did.
