~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Physical Features:

Zander is a very tall "man," standing at about 6' 10" in height, far above that of most people. He has platinum white hair, which goes down to his shoulders in the back and on the sides. In the front, it covers his right eye, going down the middle of his nose, but he pulls it back to reveal his left eye. He has perfectly white teeth, that look like fangs when he smiles. He is very thin and frail looking, and has long, slender arms and legs, with long, slender feet, and equally long and slender fingers, which are perfect for twirling a cane, or any other long, slim objects such as a staff or pole. His fingernails are long and sharp, not unlike claws. His skin is also abnormal, as it is very pale, in fact one could say it is very close to that of pure white.

Facial Features:

Zander's eyes and ears are also inhuman. His ears are about 6 and 1/2" long and come to a point at the end, much like that of an elf's but on the top part of them, they curve up somewhat. His eyes are like that of a dragon's, they are thin and pointyish too, and the irises are orange. The pupils are the most inhuman, one could say they came from that of a demon's. They are little slits instead of the full blown circular shape they usually have. There is a scar that goes across his entire forehead, but you can only see part of it unless he pulls all of his hair out of the way. He has very attractive looks, often being called handsome in a creepy way by those who actually take time to look into his eyes, although the creepiness doesn't last long. Because of his handsome looks, he often lures women of pretty much any age to their deaths. He has a very defined chin, jaw line, and cheeck bones, proving yet again how thin he is.

Clothing: Zander wears a black t-shirt with the Heartless symbol on it. Over that he wears a black dress shirt which he leaves unbuttoned, when he is about to kill. He wears black fancy gloves, and black dress shoes. He even has black dress pants. He wears a black cape that usually symbolizes aristocracy, being about 4" long.

Miscellaneous Items/Articles: In public, Zander will wear a monoglass, and he always keeps an old-fashioned pocket watch on him, tucked into the pocket in his dress shirt, though the time on it is never right, it reflects the time he wants to kill someone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Personality~

I'm the spawn of evil, a monster without remorse.

[/i]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alignment ~ : Evil

Behavior ~ :

Resolve: Zander has very few dreams in life. They are to have ultimate power, command the darkness without anyone being able to stop him, and to kill as many people as he can while destroying everything they hold dear to make them beg for him to kill them.

Pursuit: He continues doing these things because of what happened to him when he was younger, as well as the fact that he has just grown to love death and darkness so much, he can't seem to get enough of it. One could say he continues on to quench a thirst of sorts.

Fears: He is afraid of very few things, one of them being the power of light and sunlight. Even though he is afraid of sunlight, he still goes out in it, to live a "normal" life. His other fears include crosses, any pointy object, and of course, any sharp weapon being used against him.

Hopes: He hopes to send every world into chaos, then let them be swallowed into the darkness, forever lost, never to return.

Hobbies: In his free time, Zander goes to elegant parties, such as balls. He often goes to events that he can gamble at, like the Struggle matches in Twilight Town. He also loves taking strolls while twirling his cane, flirting with beautiful women. And of course killing people. One of his most favorite hobbies, that he has had his entire life, is of course, mythology, lore, legends, things like that.

Public Personality/Private Personality:
Zander when in public will usually act nice, and formal, using his good looks and well rounded intelligence and charms to good use. He will often talk in a very refined manner, much like the wealthy do on many worlds (I am talking about more formal talk that wealthy use). He will often make small bets, depending on what is going on around him. He will also tell people ancient myths and legends, to better "educate" the lower class, often saying that if he doesn't help, no one will. In public he also acts slightly arrogant, though he acts as if hardly anyone if anyone is better than he is.

When alone, or with very few people, he will reveal his true nature. His formal talk leaves, and a very , threatening, cruel voice replaces it. He quits acting like he thinks everyone is practically equal, and treats them like dirt. He also tends to get more violent, and will often try to kill someone should the opportunity be present. He will often speak about myths and other such stuff, but more as if these things are actually real, as if they actually happened. He begins to ramble, talking about what to do, who to kill. He seems a bit psychotic, and he actually is. He also talks about bits of his past when he is alone, or with his latest victim.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Weapons~

And yet, I use not only my body to kill, but weapons as well.

[/i][/b]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Primary Weapon(s)

ID: Vampirism
Quality: Supreme

Zander's Vampire capabilities is his weapon of choice. His claw like fingernails, his fangs, brute strength and the like are all in his arsenal, as well as a few not so strong weapons.

Status: Berserker's Strength- Zander does more damage with physical attacks then with weapons or abilities such as Unholy Bite.

Hypnosis: Anyone who looks directly into his eyes will be under his "control" for one post. It has to be direct eye contact, or else it won't work. Once under his "control" they hallucinate, and see whatever Zander wants them to see. If he wants them to see an ally as an enemy, they will. If he wants to be non existent, he is. But the effects of Hypnosis only last for a post.

Strength: Weak
Uses: 2, four post cooldown

Unholy Immortality:
Zander is immune to weak abilities, and takes half damage from moderate abilities. Strong abilities, do as much damage as they normally do, and fire and light do double the damage.

Strength: Weak
Uses: Passive

Unholy Bite:
Zander creates twenty bats that swarm his opponents and bite them. Their bites drain the victims of energy, and give that energy to Zander. If at least one of them can manage to bite their target(s) successfully, then Zander gains ONE of the following:

• Shortens cooldown of an ability (such as Hypnosis)
  
• The ability to use ONE of the target(s) abilities.
  

The more a bat (or bats) bite, the shorter the cooldown, or the stronger the ability. If the cooldown of an ability is shortened, it can't go passed one post. If it is another person(s) ability, then one bite is a weak, three bites is a moderate, and six bites is a strong.

The bats last for two posts, and only one ability can be "stolen" per use. If Zander can manage to "steal" an ability, he has no more than two posts after his bats are gone (or if it is built up to strong before then) to use it. If he doesn't, then he can't use the ability.

Strength: Moderate
Uses: 3, three post cooldown

Vampirism:
Zander has inhuman strength, speed, agility, and the like. He can run at twenty miles per hour, can lift 190 pounds with one hand, and dodge a bullet with some difficulty. The only down side to this ability is that because of Vampirism, he takes more damage from fire and light based attacks (double damage). This also allows him to jump 20 feet in the air, provided he be moving at least 5 miles per hour. A punch from him could put cracks in boulders.

Strength: Strong
Uses: passive

Secondary Weapon(s)

ID: Death's Cane

Zander's weapon is a cane. It is relatively thin, and is about 4' 2" tall. At the top is a sphere, a stone, a gem, that is as red as blood. At the bottom, there is a small slit, with which a 5" long blade comes out. The cane itself is black, with blood red writing on it that says, Only Blood Can Quench My Thirst.

Unique Notes: His cane is a family heirloom, passed down over thousands of years, from father to son. It also seems to be a key component in his public life, using it not really to help him walk, but to help him show off just how wealthy he is, or was.

ID: Rapier

A simple french style rapier.

~History~

I have lived for centuries, and killed thousands. Can no one stop this monster? For I have just begun.

[/b][/i]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Zander was born into a wealthy family full of dark arts users. They varied from necromancy, to demonology, and even vampirism. When he was born, his parents immediately hired tutors to teach him anything and everything, including the dark arts. As he grew in age, so did his powers, and so did the number of killings his family comitted. They were used as sacrifices, or turned into minions, or killed just for the heck of it.

Soon the people began to worry that Zander and his family had become monsters, and what happened next no money could've prevented. When women that were last seen with Zander began to vanish, the people of the world retaliated. They burned Zander's house to the ground, and slayed everyone of his family members, as well as any minions and such that they had, including servants. When they came for Zander, he turned into mist and fled, but not before he killed the ring- leader, a man thought to be family himself, Zander's step- brother.

Zander fled from world to world, always watching his back, never staying in one place for too long fearing that those he haunted would come back for him, though they never would. One day he ended up in a world of darkness, and he liked it. Soon his hatred for the light and people became his reason for living, and he wouldn't stop until he killed as many people as he could, and destroyed all the light that exists. He had become the thing closest to Darkness itself. A Heartless.

~Other~

[Put anything else you want to say about your character in here.]

[nascent]

Hmm... we have some things we need to work out here.

Regeneration: Zander's light wounds will completely heal if given ample time (such as not moving for a post, or moving very little). Excessive movement will result in failure of the ability. This ability will also make moderate or severe wounds less severe then they were to begin with.

//No Healing abilities will be allowed. If you really need one, set your class to Mystic as seen below.

Now, a vampiric "absorption" of health from another character I can deal with, but auto-regeneration is just simply outside of what's allowed.

Immortality:
Zander weakens all abilities by one strength (moderate to weak for example) This doesn't work on light or fire abilities.

This is WAAAAY beyond what a Weak Ability should be capable of. It should be at least a Moderate Ability to do something as potent in battle as that.

Unholy Bite:
Zander creates twenty bats that swarm his opponents and bite them. Their bites drain the victims of energy, and give that energy to Zander, allowing him to fight longer. This lasts for two posts. A bat can be killed by fire. The distance the bats can go away from Zander is fifteen feet. (Not a healing ability)

So... exactly what effect does this have on Zander and those who get bitten? What's the end result? Also, I'd like you to reword it so that "A bat can be automatically killed by fire.", thus allowing regular attacks and other types of Abilities to have some effect as well.

[angelous]

There, hope it works now.

[nascent]

Hypnosis: Anyone who looks directly into his eyes will be under his control for one post. It has to be direct eye contact, or else it won't work. He also can't make them kill themselves, but he can make them inflict harm on themselves or others, in addition to making them stand still (if he does this he can't kill them, it would just be a way to use his Unholy Bite ability).

//You can't have an Ability that controls an opponent. You MAY have one that controls NPCs, however. If you plan on doing the NPC route, be sure to note that.

Yeah... not gonna happen. Suggestion: instead of direct control, make it a status effect of some kind. Slow and confusion come to mind as possible options. Or, if you wanna be kind of weird about it, make it have the power to induce infatuation/love (vampires are known in literature to be creatures of seduction, after all). It's not direct mind control, just an unorthodox shove towards certain peculiar responses. In battle, it could have the effect of weakening regular attacks and Weak Abilities by causing chaos in a person's mind, directly "attacking" their will to fight. If you boost it to Moderate or Strong you could take the idea even further...

and give that energy to Zander, healing wounds (nothing above a moderate wound)

No healing Abilities, remember? Suggestion: instead of healing, have it so the bat's bites "drain" one use from one of the target's Abilities (or, for Abilities that are "once every so many turns", increase the cool-down time by two turns).

Also, it occurred to me that this should be a little more concrete:

The only down side to this ability is that because of Vampirism, he takes more damage from fire and light based attacks.

So, is this 1¹/₂x damage? 2x? More? Just want a rough idea here. And, just out of curiosity, any aversion to sunshine or other typical vampire weaknesses?

[angelous]

Alright edited everything. Hopefully it all works this time. XD

[nascent]

Hmm... well, it all seems to be in order now.
