Important Details
Name: Vladamir Tenroth the III
Occupation: Apprentice MageSword
Age: 16 Years
Gender: Male
Nationality: Arabian
Race: Vampire
Weight: 156 Pounds
Height: 5 Foot 9 Inches
Appearance
Eyes: Deep Emerald Green with Gold flakes giving his eyes and ethereal glow in moonlight
Hair: Deep brown almost black. Worn in an unkempt style and most often kept out of his eyes but still ragged looking. Also has a rough beard, most often kept to just a stumble.
Skin: Dark tan. He may be a vampire but Vladamir has kept his natural born skin color.
Tattoos: Left arm has a band running around it at his mid bicep. The band is about and inch thick and is simply a tribal marking. His back also contains a tattoo of his swords crossed with the words "Live Fast Don't Die" Written under them.
Build: Medium/Light build. It is evident that in a fight Vladamir could just as easily cleave an opponent as he could out maneuver him.
Clothing: Normally Vladamir will wear a thick leather and stud chest armor with his swords strapped across the back. His most common wear under this is a plain black tank top that is completely hidden under the armor. His pants are normally baggy and mostly kept up by his sword belt, although often times he can be seen wearing an ornamental belt as well. His shoes include plain leather boots with a place in each heel for a dagger. His arms remain bare except for leather strips which wrap all the way up to his elbow and then stop. His hands are protected by a single large half-orb, usually green, that slips on and is wrapped. It provides as an excellent back hand shield and also provides an extra grip to his swords. Around his waist he also wears a red sash that is tied around twice and then left loose to drape over his left leg, usually it is under the belt but he has been known to wear it over.
Personality: Usually Vladamir is a quiet and uncaring person, but certain issues can get him talking quite a bit, such as reasons why regular humans are usually inferior. He however does see magical beings as on par with his race, even if they normally would be food for him and his family. If you can become close to Vladamir, which is very hard to do, you will find he's not a nice vampire. He actually wants to see the academy destroyed, being that they are the root of his problems, at least in his mind.
Style: Art of the MageSword. MageSwords use not only their physical strength to attack but their control of a certain element, in this case sand.
History
Vladamir Tenroth was born to a pair of vampires, their noble blood coursed thick threw their son and it would be apparent all threw out his life. That however is a note for another time, for now let us focus on the earliest days of Vladamir. The days when a young boy would not only see the merging of two enemies, but the days when the vampires of old would fall to the hands of the vampires of new. The days when life as his parents had known it would change, and the time when his parents would see the death of their way of life.
Vlad's early days were fairly simple, or as simple as it can be for a child of the night, someone who never goes outside in the light and has only seen the sun threw the screen of a television. His early days as said were simple, growing and learning as a vampire should, discovering his family's ancestry and his life's ambitions. He would be taught how to feed properly, how to charm people, how to simply become what a vampire should be. He was even taught to hate the academy, the Arcane Academy. He was taught to hate the modern blood society, to hate everything but the true ways of a vampire, that his species was to be dominant, that his race was above all others.
At the age of ten Vlad saw his darkest day ever, it did not come from the night or from the day. It did not come from his heart or from his unending thirst for blood, it came from the academy. How truly tragic and manically evil of fate to seem as though it were conspiring against him, sending to rather pscyopathic students in his direction, taking a vacation in Arabia, having fun eluding the tracers, and causing general mayhem. It is at that tender age Vladamir witnessed the brutal slaying of his parents at the hands of these evil academy students, a black blemish upon Arcane Academy, from the hands of other vampires and from the Monastery. His parents were killed for being part of a group within Blood Society that believed Vampires should not be in an alliance with the humans but be ruling over them, something that the psychopathic students used to their advantage of, twisting such things to their advantage, how that the vampires believed that they should control the world and farm humanity for their blood. He watched as the students tortured his parents with spell after spell, trying to make them talk and tell them where the rest of the secret societies members were. He watched as a steak was rammed threw his mother's chest missing her heart, watched as she was turned to ash as they exposed her to the morning sun. He watched as his father openly wept for the death of his beloved, watched it all happen, he even watched them behead his father and burn the corpse. Vladamir could only watch. He was taken to the academy shortly after, the students thinking Vladamir had slept threw the whole thing and was none the wiser. But he was, he was very much wiser. Already he knew what he wanted, already he knew his life's ambition.
The next six years were spent being taught magic, but he learned very slowly and it wasn't until combat classes that he began to excel. He was marvelous when he would wield two blades, a pair so deadly that he was instantly marked under the form of MageSword. He was adept at using sand as well, controlling it with the wind and making it whip up and calm down. He was a skilled user, but he lacked the mental focus to truly be a great mage, and so for those six years he silently waited. Gaining strength and stamina, becoming someone who could withstand hit after hit and keep going. He became stronger, faster, and smarter slowly. Now Vladamir is ready, ready to begin his life's goal.
Strengths
Physical: Speed and Dexterity are definitely the tops of Vladamir's Physical game. He's an acrobat when it comes to moving abut and striking at an enemy from odd angles and such. With a well toned body he can easily twist and turn to avoid a blow or he can even out right use his speed, which is amplified even more since Vladamir concentrates on it for his power. With these key focus points he can easily dodge, duck, and hop most attacks sent his way, making him very deadly in close quarters fights.
Mental: Apart from his ability as a Vampire to resist most threats and empty promises Vladamir keeps a very cool and collected mental fight. While it may not seem like much Vladamir does have an impressive mental combat strategy that involves making his opponent angry or frustrated, so they will focus less on actual tactics and more on trying to hack Vladamir apart. This can come in handy against inexperienced foes who tend to be more power heavy attackers, and thus slip into a rage easily. His magic may be limited but it is powerful, controlling sand is his specialty.
Vampiric: Enhanced vision, hearing, and smell. Ability to see in zero light. Accelerated healing.
Weaknesses
Physical: Strength and power are not something Vladamir has a lot of. While it is true that his vampire's strength would make most humans look weak, his strength against mages may seem feeble. Since he lacks great strength he doesn't have that much force behind attacks or blocks, and as such has a hard time when fighting toe to toe with no real way to get around his opponent to use his acrobatics. These key weaknesses make him an easy target if caught in a narrow passage or alleyway.
Mental: With his great mental warfare comes a weakness, his lack of emotion. He doesn't show emotion many times and that means he cannot utilize a situation to it's full advantage. Say as enemy were to fall in combat, this does not bolster Vladamir to do better, it just means he has one less enemy to deal with. As such people around him seem to have a lower moral and fighting spirit. Thus in large groups Vladamir is not that great to have around. He isn't very gifted magically, except for that which he was taught by his father.
Vampiric: Garlic (Makes him sneeze a lot), holy objects (Repel him and burn on contact), water (Paralyzes temporarily), Sunlight (Kills in a matter or seconds), Crosses (Burns on contact), removing of head (Death), stake threw heart (Death).
Spell List
Control Sand: Allows complete control over small amounts of sand around the user.
Wind Wall: Creates a fourty foot high, twenty foot wide, three foot thick, wall of pure moving wind. Can stop any projectile under 200 pounds.
Vampiric Spell List
Charming gaze: A vampires most ifamous attack, this ability relies on direct eye contact and allows a vampire to charm one person into beleiving them. In order to resist a person must have at least triple the vampire's wisdom.
Ghouls: Idf a vampire drains a living being of all their blodo that person will become a servant of the vampire, a zombie in essence.
Spawn a new vampire: If a vampire bites a virgin and completely drains them this willr esutl in the formation of a new vampire. This process takes five nights and can not be reversed.
