Name: Diam (Dee-um)
Age: Several Thousand. Appears 12-14.
Birthday: August 7th (or somewhere around there)
Gender: Male
Race/Species: Vampire
Career: Doll Maker
Appearance Description:
*Art By Me*
Diam bares the body of a young boy somewhere around the age of pubescence. His skin is deathly pale but perfectly smooth, almost like porcelain. He stands at about 4'1 and weighs incredibly little, probably around 60 - 70 pounds.
His hair is a tannish blonde in color, and is usually set in place to suit his outfit. Diam's most striking feature is his eyes. They have a yellow color to them, and the pupils cut through them as slits not unlike a snakes. The 'whites' of his eyes have adopted a black hue as well, giving him quite an eerie stare.
Over the years, he has come to prefer a more formal style of dress. However, if he is aware that formality doesn't fit the situation he will wear whatever is appropriate. Diam's voice still carries a childish tenor, this can either steal or add weight to the statements he makes.
*Also mine*
Personality Description:
Diam regards most things with a calm indifference. This doesn't really mean that he doesn't care, or doesn't feel emotions, but his many years have made his expression of such things callous and stiff.
Despite all his outward appearances, Diam often takes an interest in things, especially people. Sometimes it's born from curiosity, sometimes genuine fondness. Either way, he sometimes has a habit of prying too much.
Active Abilities:
Vampirism: Diam has fangs, and knows how to use them. The consumption of blood is his primary source of sustenance. it invigorates and revitalizes him, and generally fuels his other powers. In exchange he is basically unable to consume all but the smallest amount of regular food. If he doesn't regularly feed, he will become increasingly more desperate for it and may lose control of himself.
Diam's strain of vampirism doesn't pass on to another simply through a bite, it's a bit more complicated then that. Still though, if Diam or another party wanted him to, Diam could turn someone else into a vampire. The process is rather complicated and Diam doesn't really care to execute it, but it's possible.
Sunlight Tolerance: Thanks to his wealth of experience from his high age, Diam has learned how to survive in the sunlight. He still combusts in direct sunlight if he's not paying attention to it, but if he's aware he will be in the sun he can overclock the healing of his skin cells and keep them relatively intact. He cannot keep it up for very long, but it allows him to travel somewhat.
Physically Potent: As a vampire, Diam is more physically capable then he first appears. He can push his body to feats of superhuman strength and speed, as well as brush off injuries that might incapacitate others. Doing this expends a moderate amount of Diam's energy, preventing him from keeping it up for lengthy amounts of time. Actions such as lifting a car, breaking through a standard door or wall, or accelerating to somewhere around 55 MPH are all within his limits. Should he keep up such activities for more then about twenty minutes, he will begin to grow hungry and more prone to a starved outburst.
Passive Abilities:
Wisdom Before Youth: Do to his exceptional age, Diam has acquired a passing knowledge on just about every subject you can think of. While he by no means knows everything, he can advise on subject from mathematics to art to love. Newer subject like technology and current trends tend to give him trouble, but he still knows a small amount about them.
Rapid Healing: Diam's body heals wounds at an incredible rate unless he actively stops it from doing so. Excessive use of this ability will quickly tire him out and drain his blood reserves.
Weaknesses: Weaknesses go here
Biography:
Diam nearly died when a horse cart carrying weaponry overturned and impaled him. An old 'witch' took pity on him and infected him with her vampirism so that he might enjoy life a bit longer. He spent several years learning from her before she was killed in a witch hunt and he was forced out on his own.
Over the years, Diam has encountered many other vampires. He has presented himself to many established clans at one time or another, and often spent several years in their company. He has garnered some amount of sway in the political world of the vampires, and many have come to refer to him as the Doll Maker.
The name is mostly regarded as an urban legend among today's younger vampires, and that fact both positively and negatively shades older vampires view of him. The opinions he's cultivated regard him as either a powerful adversary, or a mostly harmless observer. All, however, recognize the air of mystery surrounding him.
He has managed to survive this whole time, walking through the centuries in his childlike form. He has done and seen many things, and now he has found his way to Manta Carlos, where he needn't fear retribution for what he is.
Resources: Rests within a large studio. Wealthy.
