Well, since an incumbent has broken the ice, I suppose no harm should come to me either.
Theodore R. ; Male ; Informant ; ?? years
Current Goal / Purpose / Personality:
Curious, nosy, meddlesome, likes to be involved in affairs, manipulative, deceptive, genuine .. sincere? Wants to reintegrate into civilization - to find out what the buzz is, what's going on, something a little more solid and less ethereal that he can grab and hold on to.
Job:
"Welcome! I run this store, and I render services for whatever you are willing to pay. Nothing illegal. I'm quite broke, and I don't want to go to jail. $5 for carrying your groceries?
.. Sorry. Well, it's a bit cramped in here, since I found the smallest place I could .. find. Just a phone and the internet. Ham radio too. And other sorts of radios.
What do you want to know? I can't guarantee it will be accurate. It probably is though."
General History:
"You want to know about me?
Stoker got it down pretty well. In fact, you know, a lot of these guys who fantasize about being a vampire sort of make up things so they can pretend to be one. Take white wolf, for instance. That whole thing about thirteen clans?
It actually ain't that baaaaad. Obviously the whole powers thing suffers from serious consumption. But the way the codex was written, one would have thought that maybe one of the clans in there even broke out and suffered Final Death just to play a prank on everyone else! Like, sort of spilled all the secrets, but gave them such a ridiculous outlet to go through that no one would ever believe it except those with delusions of grandeur, those who wanted something more than their fragile human existence!
... hahahaha! What a joke! I aspire to be him someday.
But on the other hand, he was a bit of an idiot. I like it when it's quiet around, you know? How long since I last awoke? The freshness of civilization burns my nose. You smell, you know that? Like curry. I don't like curry though. I prefer O.
... All the same, I'm kind of lonely. I think I've spent a little too long out of touch with the fairer sex. And their liquids."
Special abilities:
"I'm a vampire. I'm strong. I'm like you, if your species as a whole never moved beyond using sticks to get tasty crunchy termites from their homes in giant pillars of sand. If your species ever had to contend with constant survival with other animals far better bred for violence, perhaps you would be stronger. You know black people? They've been it at it for an extra 500 years since you white guys discovered hamburgers. They put on the muscle just like that ... well, I'm not black. But then again, I'm not an omnivore either.
.. heh."
Strength, regeneration. Insanity, which manifests itself as telepathy and kinesis.
