Vlad

[Vlad]

~Brief Description~

 

Vlad the Imploder is a vampire with an appreciation of the beauty of everyday life. Like other vampires, has immaculate formal dress, retractable fangs, slick black hair, a widow's peak, and sometimes a cape. He is also independant and respectful, however, leaving his once-a-week victims with enough blood to live. He is tall and lanky, with dark green eyes, and a golden cross. Vlad is very low-key, moving quietly, hiding in shadows and manipulating people's minds to forget about him or not notice him. When Vlad was very young, he stole an enchanted ivory dagger from his father and ran away. He was eventually attacked by a vampire and ended up becoming one himself. He then named himself Vlad and is now 322 years old.

~Items~

 

The Reliquery

This is the item which houses his soul and essence, granting him the cosmic powers of lichdom. As part of the enchantment on it, it is the one item in the material world he cannot touch. Consequentaly this phylactery is in Minta Rose's possesion, while originally made for [and by] Rosemary. It has several layers of protection on in already, including hallucinagenic charms and a piercing enchantment.

 

The Cross

Acquired during his vampiric days, this item was ripped from the throat of a priest before [the priest's] murder, this is Vlad's most prized possesion. It has no enchantments on it, and though he has been presented with the opportunity, Vlad wishes to keep it "plain." It is a small silver trinket, hanging from a chain of gold that in all but the most extreme situations, does not leave his neck.

 

He keeps it as a symbol of his own perseverance, and a reminder to not believe the myths which surrounded his kind, as well as a reminder of his former undead lives.

 

The Dagger

A short weapon that has no practical use in killing, but invaluable in cutting ropes, hides, leather, doors, chests, or anything else that one of low regard would need access too. The blade is enchanted to not dull unless in contact with blood, a wry irony of Vlad's curse. Originally belonging to a parent, but one of the few possesions the now-vampire stole when he stole away from home. The specific enchantment placed on it was the effect of a wizard with a twisted sense of humor after Vlad's failed attempt to feed in his earlier years.

 

The Portal

Given to Vlad by Gryphon in the latter's attempt to discover the magic of the quill, this is the most curious items in the vampire's possesion. A portal of black onyx, this item is intended to take Vlad to a world of eternal nightfall. Having only aquired this item recently, he has not had the chance to explore it's powers yet, but intends to do so shortly.

 

The Scarab

A small golden bug that once dangled from his left ear, this was bought from a necromancer during a Pen carnival. The scarab once bestowed a very convenient protection: it allowed Vlad to withstand the fatal rays of the sun, and granted him a slight protection against holy attacks.

 

He crushed the item shortly after his transformation to a lich, partly in anger at allowing himself to be killed, and partly to emphasise that he no longer needed to fear to dawn.

The original description of Vlad in the GreenRoom. By know it's probably inaccurate because I have grown as both a writer, and Vlad as a character.

GreenRoom Description

 

Tralla's writing on my character for Valdar's First Mighty Pen Writing Exchange. She captured the essence of Vlad brilliantly.

Vignettes of a Vampire

 

Gryphon's creation of the portal leading to everlasting night. It's found in the items section, so about three posts up. Marvelous descriptions, that man has. Marvelous.

The transformation of Vlad from Vampire to Lich took place in the Roleplay "Rage."
