Name: Mathias VonTepes
Strength:5
Dexterity:10
Endurance:10
Intelligence:15
Wisdom:15
Energy:10
Occupation: Apprentice Dhampire
Nationality: Romanian
Height: 6’0”
Weight: 140lbs
Age: 50
Hair Color: White
Eye Color: Blue
Appearance: He has very young, smooth look about him, his face seems to accentuate the sharpness of his features. His skin is pale, as is common amongst half vampires and full vampires. His white hair hangs down to his knees. He seems to prefer a supple leather coat with a dark blue dress shirt underneath. He wears black pants, ranging from carpenter to baggy jeans, usually accompanying it with somewhat heavy boots for better gripping in his acrobatics. Topping off his look is a tattered black scarf for the colder times, or when he just wants to look badass.
Personality: Perverted and lighthearted in social situations, but when need be, he gets serious and at least somewhat down to earth.
History: Mathias lived in Romania at his fathers house (Vladimir Dracule) with his brother, Zachariah Cronqvist. The two of them took on their mother’s last names, not the father’s. Mathias was never much accepted in that household because he was expected to be more “serious” and “mature” like his other relatives… plus he was supposed to drop his love of boobs, which he just couldn’t do.
Mathias is a minor aeromancer, learning the art for 15 years now. He would have stuck to normal vampire magick, but he was quick learning that there were ways to nullify that magick, so he began studying aeromancy to fortify his vampire magick. Because he is only half vampire, his powers of transformation are only half fledged and he can only change form for a limited amount of time and his abilities to levitate aren’t as impressive as a regular vampires. Mathias joined the arcane academy in hopes of learning more aeromancy and maybe a few more demon fighting techniques. He cannot be possessed because of the Seal of Michael tattooed on his back. He wears multiple seals that cannot be broken by magick (these are divine seals known in the real world). Such devine seals will not hinder him, because these seals are for demonic power, and vampires are far different from demons.
Mathias has decided to go into buisiness as a dhampire. A dhampire is a half vampire male born from a vampire father and a mortal mother. Dhampires have the powers of seeing vampires for who they are, even when they are disguising themselves, and as a half vampire they hold enough power to match a vampire without any weakness to holy items, garlic, running water and things along those lines.
Half vampires need blood on a nightly basis just as regular vampires do, except a half vampire can't turn their victims, and therefore cannot take mortal apprentices or sires.
Mathias, as a child wasn't aloud to go to his local schools, so he would often stay home and read books from his fathers library, and on occasion he would sneak into the school library and steal some books from in there. This minor experience in sneaking got him set up to become a well learned assassin at the tender age of 20 (around the same time his apearance stopped changing). He was often hired to bring in thugs, which he found dissapointing until his last mission at 45 years old. He was hired to kill another assassin/murderer who was killing people around the park. Upon examining a dead body his heart skipped a beat as he realized the two puncture wounds at the jugular vein. He ran back to the local church and grabbed a couple corked containers, filling them with holy water. On his way out he snatched a silver crucifix with a dull point at the long end and he went to lie in wait for his prey. And with that he began his job as a dhampire. As he got his equipment, he bagan going to the shooting range to practice his shot for his faster and more dangerous targets. Quickly learning his shot with a rifle sucked, he focused on pistols where his rapid rate of fire and mid-long range accuracy proved his strong points. At 70 yards away he can hit a 3 inch target 10 times within 5 seconds, though this was after 2 years of practice that he got proficient with pistols. For as long as he hunted vampires, though, his "demon" sword was his weapon of choice. He got the sword from the body of a priest who was nailed to a stone gate to the ethereal world by it. Later learning it was the dying blow of the fallen seraphim, Alexander, that killed the priest in their duel. The body of the seraphim descended to hell while the blade remained, keeping it's life from the priests blood, and soon coming to live off of the energy escaping from mathias' body. If Mathias were to die, the energy output from his body would stop, and the blade would die without a new host. The blade is frequently worn on his back.
Mathias' favorite weapons are his guns and his sword. His guns are equipped with silver bullets, because sometimes enemies just cant be dealt with at close rang, and the bulk of crossbows are just too much. A good example would be a large demon. Even when it is held in place, getting too close can be dangerous, and so a silver bullet will do the job nicely. And besides, whats a vampire hunter without a good pair of guns. His sword is that of a fallen seraphim (later classified as a demon) named Alexander. Although this blade isn't all powerful, it is still strong, and it looks so good.
Mathias is also in posession of a very rarely used guitar. When he gets more experienced in playing it, it will be able to destroy an entire city, but as an ameture he only has moderate power without assistance. And as powerful as it is, it comes with risk. If Mathias dies while the guitar is using its power or while he is posessed by it, the guitar will absorb his soul, making it impossible to ressurect Mathias without first releasing his soul from the guitar somehow. Mathias, however, has no idea of this consequence. If this fate is to befall Mathias, his character and this profile will be rendered inactive until his spirit is returned to his body or that of another.
Mathias' Relics
tinyurl.com/25gtnt <---- This is the story of his sword, Clair
tinyurl.com/2vwdus <---- The story of his guitar, Lametatron
Mathias' acrobatics are extraordinary compared to a mere humans. If he is presented with a good enough place to plant his feet, he can jump again at his apex of ascention and jump the height of a 3 1/2 story building. This doesn't take much out of his endurance at all, but if he isn't careful, he can leave himself open to an attack, plus the fall can do him a nasty hit if he doesn't do it right (rolling into his toughdown or softening it with wind magick).
Style: Mathias uses wind magick mostly to reenforce his vampire magick, an example would be his levitation. He hasn't learned much offensive aeromancy, mostly defensive, supportive and binding magick. But when it comes down to it, Mathias mostly uses his acrobatics and weapons to get the job done.
Strengths: His vampire magick becomes his strength in most situations, especially when on a mission as a dhampire. His ability in fighting with most exotic weapons is one of his more notable strengths, though (exotic meaning things like scimitars, cutlasses and katanas). He has none of the weakneses that actual vampires have, making him strong against one or two vampires. He has high jumps, levitation ability and minor mind control abilities, making him very strong against average people.
Weaknesses: When he hasn’t fed recently, ice magick becomes his biggest weakness, the lack of warm blood will keep the ice from thawing quickly. At all times he is vunrable to fire magick for the simple fact that he grew up in the cold and he has vampire blood in him (the only weakness that all (half)vampires have). These two weaknesses make him succeptable to cryomancers. When facing more than 2 elder vampires (the classic vampire, not the drooling beasts [literaly] that regular vampires are), Mathias is out of his league and is usually taken down pretty easily. When in his fog form, wind and time magick are the only things that can knock him out of it (the wind will blast the fog back and force it to rematerialize into Mathias, time magick will speed up the time around mathias and he will rematerialize at a faster rate than if left alone).
Spell List:
tinyurl.com/2uh35f <----Mathias' "Devilgod" Form
Shapeshift Mathias can change form to become an owl, fog, a bat and a black cat, but only for a limited amount of time. The time limit is about 4 posts, and after that there is a 10 post wait before he can do it again.
Extended feed Mathias can extend his veins into the necks of victims to draw blood if he can’t get directly behind them, and if he feels he can withstand the pain, he can send his veins through the ground and into his victims that way.
Bloodseed Satchel (item) If he wants a supply of blood waiting for him, he has a satchel of bloodseeds that he can plant into the ground. They sprout within 5 minutes and anyone who walks over them is disabled by a venomous barb through their ankle, and the seed will drain them of blood, holding it in an expandable pouch. When Mathias visits the seed again, he can send his veins into the pouch and draw out the blood which is kept warm by the seeds energy. Bloodseeds usually draw enough blood from the victims to bring them to a slow death, if not found and treated for.
Reenforced Levitate Mathias can use minor aeromancy to levitate. He does this by creating a vortex of air around the top half of his body. This vortex creates low air pressure, and when countered by the higher air pressure below him, he is lifted off the ground. A nifty side effect is that this spell will also catch and redirect low velocity missile weapons.
Aeroscribe Mathias can use a concentrated stream of air to carve a symbol into soft ground, from sand to concrete.
Aeroblades Mathias concentrates air into a thin arch of high-velocity wind that will cut as well as the sharpest katanas. He can send flurries of these with a very miniscule drain to his magick, so it's practically indeffinite while he still has energy left. It is one of the most basic wind-based attacks he has.
Radial Feed Mathias can drain the energy from anyone and anything within 5 yards of him, adding to his power. He can hold this power long enough to do 1 spell, but the spell has 10 times the effect in normally would, depending on what he feeds from. All who are caught in this feild will become tired and somewhat sluggish from their energy being sapped away.
Feeder Stab Mathias's sword, when planet in the ground, will set up little feeder strings around it. When anything that has blood comes near it, the strings snake in through the feet or behind the ankle. It wont stop feeding until Mathias wishes it, until it is stopped or until the sword is removed from the ground.
Aerocutter Mathias unleashed a stream of concentrated air that is strong enough to cut through steel armor and concrete.
General Vampiric He holds all the powers of a vampire, just to a lesser extent, but in exchange he has none of the vampire’s weaknesses (but fire). His vampiric powers include lesser mind reading, light telekinesis, minor levitation (which he has reinforced with aeromancy), abilities to control people with weak willpower, abilities to jump extraordinary lengths and any other vampires powers (lessened, though, as I have stated).
Weapons/Gear: Two extended barrel, 45 caliber custom Smith&Wesson pistols with a 15 shot clip in each (holsters built into the boots). Blessed silver, hollow-point bullets. Two blessed short scimitars of fine quality, carbon steel, Damascus style blades with shallow fullers (rarely worn). A double edged sword of Alexander the demon. A satchel of bloodseeds. Two bottles of holy water. 4 fragmentation grenades.
Items: None yet
Summons, Familiar, and Pets: A parasite infested Mathias a while back but it kept dormant until recently. It manifests itself in mathias' shadow. Because of mathias' mostly black clothing, it is easy for the shadow parasite to take his form. It's offensive magic is limited, it channels it's mana into maneuvering into fighting position so it can whiddle away at the opponent. It also has the ability of taking the basic form of a black sheet of very strong cloth that moves about on its own will.
Mathias also has an annoying little fairy that will pop up every once in a while. It is VERY cocky and arrogant and seems to be in love with mathias. The fairy excels in magic. (i am creating its bio now)
Notes: Due to the seals tatooed on his body, he is impregnable by a foreign energy, and therefor cannot be obsessed (also known as possessed) by a demon.
