Kristopher Mortas
Appearance
Skills and Abilities
As with all Vampires, Kristopher is gifted unnaturally with strength and speed, and the ability to heal much faster than his human counterparts. That, on top of superhuman senses, make him a formidable tracker- provided the person isn't in broad daylight, that is.
Kristopher is quick with a blade, but rarely commits himself to sword-fighting. A better duelist has a better chance against Kristopher.
Kristopher is exceptionally stealthy and light on his feet.
Kristopher has excellent vision, even in the dark.
Kristopher is a kleptomaniac to say the least- the thrill of stealing is worth more than the items he steals.
Without feeding regularly- about twice a week or so, or more if he's enduring a lot of physical strain or injuries, Kristopher's appearance will resemble that of a decaying corpse.
Kristopher is susceptible to silver and holy relics- even being near holy relics will cause him to grow ill. If exposed to holy things for a lengthy amount of time, Kristopher will grow restless, and will be weakened, exhibiting flu-like symptoms. Silver, burns him as hot as any fire, even by touch. As such, Kristopher is paranoid about dining, and usually attempts to eat with wooden utensils.
When exposed to sunlight- Kristopher will gradually go from suffering the effects of a sunburn to third degree burns, within the span of five minutes. Any exposure longer than that, and Kristopher will burn to the bone. Without feeding for a long time, this exposure dwindles, and if Kristopher hasn't fed for long enough to take on the corpse-like appearance, he could very well burn instantly.
Personality
Brash, brazen, and rather quick-witted, Kristopher is rather keen on keeping himself at a distance from most people. Literally and figuratively- he feeds when he needs to, but doesn't find it a particularly pleasant experience. That goes to say, that he doesn't infrequently do it- he does feed on people. He has only 'overfed' on one person during his entire 12 decades spent as a Vampire, and is careful about only drawing what he needs, both as a survival mechanism and a testament to his self-hatred.
Kristopher doesn't like being a Vampire, and hates the very nature of himself. But he isn't suicidal. He's desperate for a cure, but gave up on it decades ago, finding it a hopeless endeavor. To that, he sees himself as a Robin Hood like character, prowling the streets of large cities, helping the downtrodden and the poor, while feeding and stealing from the rich and out of touch wealthy. Of course, this morality comes back to bite him sometimes- but he finds it a solace in his dark nature.
