[SIZE=1][COLOR=Red]Blood. Blood is life. Blood is a necessity that all are granted upon birth. Blood is a given, blood is a constant. Until you fall into Death's sweet embrace. Then, Blood is never taken for granted. We call those that have died and returned many names; Ghouls, Revenants, Zombies, the Undead. But when they seek blood, that purest source of life, we call them Vampires.

Though they have permeated our culture, we see them as little more than fairy tales. The stuff of gothic romance novels, cheesy horror movies, and occasionally nightmares. But they exist, they walk, and they hunt.

For eons they have walked among us, slowly stealing away our essence in the form of that rich, dark liquid. As they grew in number and power, evolved beyond the simple blood-suckers, they split apart. They formed the Clans. The Clans lived together in peace for centuries, millennia. Save the occasional squabble, things were calm among the Vampires.

But when the one known as Kuroichi, the Dark Blood, rose to the world of the Vampire, he decided that things should not be this way. He started his own Clan, the first to start in a thousand years, and slowly he swept across the globe, calling to his brethren. They called him mad when he went the way of peace, so he decided to go the way of war.

Thousands fell to Kuroichi's Clan. His bloodthirsty nature, demonic power, and trademark silver hair earned him his nickname...Demon of the Silver Hair. The Clans fought back, and he was pushed back to his homeland of Japan. His Clan dominated the island country, and he was pleased for a time.

Unfortunately, the Japanese government finally decided to lash out against the Vampires. They started a secret project, seeking out a few hundred children born with a strange power. These children were trained in the martial arts of the world, becoming expert warriors. They were the Hunters, deigned to slay the Vampires once and for all. Kuroichi was intrigued by these warriors, and decided to test them. There was a great massacre, and many of the Hunters died at the hands of Kuroichi. However, still many lived on, to fight against the Vampires with greater fervor.

Suddenly, the now-seasoned Hunters began to disappear. And at the same time, Kuroichi's Clan began to rise in power. The Hunters were becoming his Clansmen, and something had to be done before he became to great a threat. This began what would be known in the future as the War of the Blood. All of the Clans would cease to be, save one. One that would take over the world. It was just a matter of seeing who would reign supreme.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[CENTER]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/CENTER]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]It is your job to find out who gets the crown in the War of the Blood. One Clan must win, and your warriors will decide who. The Clans are:

[B]Nyroma[/B] - The Nyroma own the lands of Eastern-Europe, governing the Vampires there with their great magical skill. Their illusions and spells are responsible for many of the myths surrounding Vampire lore. While the Nyroma aren't known for their physical prowess, they draw great fear in their knowledge and magic.
Members:
Kali (Kare)-Nefertimon

[B]Knubrap[/B] - The Knubrap are the second newest Clan, existing wherever there is corruption, filth, and darkness. They are predominant in major American cities. The Knubrap are the basic Vampires, drawn together into their Clan out of necessity, rather than want. Though they have little power, their numbers are overwhelming, and they always know the terrain.
Members:
N/A

[B]Zugai[/B] - Also known as the Skulls, the Zugai are violent, physically powerful, and deadly in numbers. They hate the Ijuuj above all others, seeing them as holier-than-thou scum that needs to be destroyed. The Zugai are resilient, strong, and have a never-may-die attitude that gives them an army of suicide soldiers to hurl against their foes. They are mostly found in the harsh terrain of Australia.
Members:
N/A

[B]Ijuuj[/B] - The Ijuuj may be the most formal and strict of all the Vampire Clans. Acting as a religious order for Vampires, they fight against the reckless Anarchists of the Zugai Clan. The Ijuuj follow their leaders (called the Karla) with fanatical devotion comparable to human fantasists but their greatest asset is their resistance to holy objects, a usual weakness for Vampires. They exist mostly in Western Europe.
Members:
Aaron Alexander-DragonBlood

[B]Mirichai[/B] - Militaristic and bloodthirsty, the Mirichai seek power amongst the Vampire community, their desire for one great Clan preempting Kuroichi's. They utilize advanced human weaponry, mainly guns, in their conquest for power. They make their home in the Southern US and Mexico.
Members:
N/A

[B]Gyshram[/B] - Shadowy assassins, the Gyshram hire themselves out to anyone who can pay well enough. They are well known for never failing to kill a target. Their exceptional speed and agility, as well as the power to manipulate shadows, gives them an edge in this secret war. They generally hide out in the World's deserts.
Members:
Keitha-demonchild781

[B]Labareda[/B] - A Central American Clan of Vampires that routinely dip their hands into human (and criminal) affairs. Drug trafficking, assassination (often aided by the Gyshram), political takeovers, extortion, and murder are just a few of their daily activities. With coffers full and weapons a plenty, they might be a hard force to stop.
Members:
N/A

[B]Myrkur Aniol[/B] - Though small, the Myrkur Aniol is by far one of the most dangerous of the Clans. Taking the names of Angels (Fallen or otherwise) upon their "creation?, the Myrkur use the power of name to strike fear into the hearts of others. And if that doesn't work, their inhuman power will.
Members:
Abaddon-Danethol

[B]Krilat Zmaj[/B] - The powerful Clan lead by the Silver Haired Demon himself, Kuroichi. With the mysterious Power, a telekinetic energy, at the disposal of many a Krilat, and the use of near all Asia's Vampires, Kuroichi may be too great a force to defeat.
Members:
Kuroichi-ULX

[B]Gwyar[/B] - The most ancient, wise, and powerful Vampires form the hallowed clan of the Gwyar. They show that Vampires truly are immortal, many of them present at the Crucifixion. It is rumored that their numbers include Dracula himself, and they are rumored to be lead by the very first Vampire.
Members:
Elizabeth Archer-Methuselah
Erald Lightfeather-Reizou

[B]Humans[/B]-
Garyuu Zokusai (kairiKIce2)

If being a Vampire is not your fancy, a few Humans should be thrown into the mix. I place no restrictions on the lives of the Humans, but know that they shouldn't have any real powers, unless you PM to see if you can be one of the last surviving members of the Project.

Here's me:

Name: Kuroichi (Takeda Kana)
Nickname: Ginkami no Akuma or the Silver Haired Demon
Age: Around 500 years old
Gender: Male
Species: Vampire
Clan: Krilat Zmaj
Appearance: I have a picture somewhere, but until I find it...
Kuroichi is of average height, with a lean, muscular build, kept from years of martial arts. He has silver hair that reaches around shoulder length. His eyes are a deep gray that changes color based on his moods (or so he says). He is pale (he is a Vampire, after all), and his body is laced with scars, the most prominent a large gash across his chest. Despite this, he is quite handsome, known for seducing his female victims.
He wears a simple outfit of a black t-shirt, black jeans, and a black trench-coat. Around his neck is a silver chain with a pentagon at the end. He wears a large, simple, silver ring and a more elaborate silver dragon ring. He also has a silver skull belt-buckle.
Weapons: A katana that he calls Shinku no Umi (Crimson Sea)
Powers: Kuroichi has the unique power to manipulate blood, be it his or another?s. He can change it into a very strong material, with which he crafts weapons, armor, and other structures. His favorite use for it is the Blood Mist, a cloud of incredibly small blood daggers that slowly cut anyone inside the mist to ribbons.
He also seems to command the Power, though instead of its usual Gold color, it is a dark red.
Personality: Kuroichi is suave, cool, and in control no matter what the situation. He is incredibly wise, as well, a quick thinker and a devious planner. He can be very manipulative at times, leading people into thinking exactly what he wants.
When not conversing with pretty women or his equals, he can be very smug and cocky. He treats those he sees as inferior as inferiors, making his opinions of them known quite well. It takes a lot to earn his respect.
When in a fight, Kuroichi is condescending to his foes, trading witty banter and leading his opponent into stupid mistakes. He is sadistic, cold, calculating, and merciless.
Bio: Kuroichi (born Takeda Kana) was born during the Sengoku Period of Japan in the Kai province, shortly before Portuguese sailors reached Japan. He was trained in swordsmanship and the martial arts by his father, a high-ranking Samurai in Takeda Shingen's army. However, his father was killed in one of the Battles of Kawanakajima, the Battle of 1564. Kana was only in his early 20s.
Kana left his home in the Kai province, seeking fortune elsewhere. While walking out near Kawanakajima itself, he was accosted by a filthy soldier. Kana nearly defeated the man, but he lashed out with unnatural strength, and bit Kana's neck. Days later, Kana awoke late at night, and found himself a Vampire.
Kana was at first disgusted by his fate, casting off his name in favor of Kuroichi, meaning Black Blood. The name carried, but the disgust rapidly faded. He began to embrace his nature, learning to control his powers. His latent Power, a red energy force that could manipulate matter with no visible cause, was awoken during a fierce battle, the Siege of Osaka.
Kuroichi had seen many empires fall. At the beginning of the Meiji Era, he scorned the modernization and the destruction of the Samurai Class, aiding in a few attacks against the new government. But as the country finally settled down, Kuroichi took flight, seeking powerful warriors.
It was during a stay in Croatia, just before it?s becoming the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, Kuroichi met a powerful Vampire of the Nyroma Clan. The Vampire taught Kuroichi about the Vampire's existence, and their various Clans and past battles. Kuroichi did not believe that the Clans could last forever, and he and his teacher parted ways.
It was during World War II, in the puppet state that Croatia had become, that Kuroichi decided to attack the Clans and form a new government. He decided that the current system had been in power far too long, and that a new system needed to replace it. He returned to Japan and rallied the Japanese Vampires to form the Krilat Zmaj (a word learned during his stays in Croatia).
After his first attack on the Clans failed, Kuroichi decided to make the best of the situation, making the Krilat Zmaj the predominant Asian Clan. When the Japanese Government began the Project, he had to see what the "graduates" were capable of. He slaughtered many, turning some into Vampires, and left the others to hone their skills.
Now, he is sweeping across the globe, gathering the Hunters into his Clan. Soon, he will bring an end to the Clans. And he [I]will[/I] be around to see the final results.
Other: Nothing, really.

So, go wild with your characters. I hope to get as many Clans as possible. Have fun, hold tight, and drink deep.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[demonchild781]

Name: Keitha (original name lost over the centuries)
Age: 1000
Gender: Female
Species: Vampire
Clan: Gyshram
Appearance: At first glance Keitha looks to be the picture perfect beauty. Her curvy frame, strong buttocks and large bust line. Her long crimson hair is pulled back at the base of her neck, a few stray strains falling amongst her face. But watch out for the green-amber eyes because once she flashes you a glance, you're gone.
Keitha is usually dressed in flattering clothing, but rarely seen in dresses or skirts. When out on assignments, Kietha wears leather trousers, a black undershirt and a blood red tunic tied tightly around her waist.
Weapons: A simple katana named Chaela and two hand guns hiden within her outfit.
Powers: To manipulate shadows and untouched stealth.
Personality: A strong-willed woman that usually holds her tongue. She rarely shows emotions especially on assignments. Enjoys seducing weaker men and killing them before intercourse accures. She loves to play with powerful and strong men.
Bio: It was some where around the the late 8th century when Kietha was born to a poor merchant family. They lived on the coast of one of the many European countries, but they were always travelling. Kietha's father was a sweet campassionante man who loved his wife and only daughter with every thing he had.At the age of twelve, Keitha began working with her father and helped her mother with house work when she wasn't with her father. On a spring afternoon just shortly after Keitha's fifteenth birthday, the village they were living in was raided by Vikings. They were ruthless and savage. Keitha's family tried to hide her and keep her safe, but it was no use. The vikings killed her father, raped her mother and took both Keitha and her mother aboard their ship. Keitha bore two sons for one of the men aboard her ship. Her mother had about six children to a different man. Keitha was discussed with not only her body for allowing her to produce such savage beast but for her mother to allow this to go on. When Keitha turned twenty she knew that she would no longer take this. Inside of her was another child, but to a different man. She was tired of being raped and it needed to stop. Late one evening while the men were docked some where in Normady, Keitha killed all the men that had raped her while they slept and vanished into the night. The next day she gave birth to a baby girl and left her at the nearest door.
As Keitha wondered aimlessly for serival days, she found herself upon a massive mansion so out of place. It was raining and she needed shelter for the night. She walked in and was greeted by a man. He took her in and fed her. After a week, the man came to her and asked her if she wanted to seek revenge on those that had hurt her and her family. Keitha agreed. He taught her all he knew about being an assasin and more, he taught her love. Keitha bore no child for him, but their love was powerful enough to create a new world. Both of them found and fought the Viking raids and won Europes freedom back, of course with others help. After a short five years the man that had taken Keitha in decided it was time for her to know all his secrets. He loved her more then anything and it was unfair to her for her not to know. He set up a romantic dinner and dancing in the great hall. As they prepared to make love that night, the man took Keitha close to him and told her that he was a vampire. Expecting her to run from her or scream, the man turned from her. But she pulled him back to her, he still on top of her, still inside her and kissed him. She whipsered to him that she still loved him and then did something he would have no expected. She asked to join him as his eternal lover. He granted her that wish and they spent 500 years together joining Gyshram clan. When the war happened Keitha lost her lover to death? She didn't know. She searched for him for a hundred years before returning to her clan to offer her services to who would ever take them, trying to enjoy life the best she could.
Other: I don't mind people using my character in their post but please do not down play her or go over board. Thank you.

[Imp]

Two coincidences: 1) One clan was just meant for me, and 2) You happened to mention one of the powers I want for my character. :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[color=indigo]
[u]Name:[/u] Kare (simple name, but that's the one she was given...)
[u]Nickname:[/u] Kali (means "fantasy", as she heard--she much prefers to be called by that name)
[u]Age:[/u] 1765
[u]Gender:[/u] Female
[u]Species:[/u] Vampire
[u]Clan:[/u] Nyroma
[u]Appearance:[/u] Kali has long, straight hair as black as the night sky. This contrasts her indigo eyes and her quite pale skin. She stands about five feet tall and is quite thin. As for her clothes, she wears a soft purple shirt which has sleeves so long that they only reveal her fingers and a loose collar that reveals her shoulders, plus a long skirt that matches her eyes in color, and a pair of sea green sandals. She also has three rings on each finger, each bearing the crest of a different animal engraved in onyx, sapphire, or amethyst. Around her neck is a necklace with a gold ring at the end, with an aqua circle in the center. Occasionally she may be draped in a velvety silver blue cloak.
[u]Weapons:[/u] A long crystal blue dagger with a crystal ball at the end--she calls this Oritasu (which typically means "staff of the Sight"). It's mostly used to assist her powers.
[u]Powers:[/u] Two basic and self-explanatory ones are telekinesis and mind control (mind control done with a song, her eyes, or Oritasu). But, Kali can also generate "force waves", usually of psychic energy. She can also summon different elemental spirits (which usually come from the rings she has) and perform little hexes to a certain degree.
[u]Personality:[/u] Kali usually tends to be calm and distant. She's not that crazy for blood (she usually tends to be clean), but it usually comes to her. She has a tendency to use her powers on random objects, sometimes people. She's something of a cynic but seems to be quite interested, so to speak, in human thought. In fact, she often atempts to read people's minds. She's also quite curious and experimental--she likes to "haunt" little villages with her spells and hypnotize people to do out-of-the-ordinary things. She doesn't have a bad temper, but she can be quite sadistic and vengeful at times.
[u]Bio:[/u] Since Kare had no family when she was born and somehow lost her memory when she was ten years old, she has long pondered why she suddenly ended up on some island in the Mediterranean Sea that she never learned the name of. But whatever the reason was, she was "cut off" with the rest of the world, as she never heard much in the way of news. Because she had no identification whatsoever, she had to take a "job" as a thief. She actually became a quite clever one, for she had a quick mind and had keen knowledge of human natureand psychology. Once, she met a vampire who tried to bite her four times, but he kept missing her neck, hitting instead both her hands, her forehead, and somewhere on her chest. Strangely, the result from that (besides anemia) was a slight change in personality, from overly emotional and benign (sort of) to cunning and silent. She started to study magic a little more, but once she fell asleep and woke up completely different...
Kare found herself looking different--she was taller, paler, and also had fangs. She had somehow been turned into a vampire overnight...
Over the following hundred years, Kare gradually discovered her powers. Once, a few vampires heard her singing somewhere then beckoned her over to some sort of "treehouse", where they said something about a clan, magic, vampires, and Kuroichi. Later, Kare found herself in the Nyroma clan.
Some time after that, she found a mysterious sword in a spot of moonlight and picked it up. To make a long story short, Kare kept it and called it Oritasu. She also gave herself a new name: Kali.
Kali soon adjusted her abilities to be used with Oritasu. Over the next thousand years or so, she basically had fun putting curses on different villages throughout the country, causing the people there to wage wars on each other, therefore destroying their homes. But, she rarely killed and never turned anyone into a vampire.
[u]Other:[/u] Just remember that she never goes by the name Kare anymore.[/color]

Well, hope that was OK...

[b][u]Name[/b][/u]: Abaddon

[b][u]Nickname[/b][/u]: None, but he is sometimes called Apollyon (the Greek translation of his name)

[b][u]Age[/b][/u]: 1745

[b][u]Gender[/b][/u]: Male

[b][u]Species[/b][/u]: Vampire, though most actually believe him to be an angel.

[b][u]Clan[/b][/u]: Myrkur Aniol

[b][u]Appearance[/b][/u]: Abaddon's hair is long and black, about shoulder length. A few strands hang in front of his eyes, which he is known for brushing back every so often. He wears form-fitting black shirts and pants. Three belt straps encircle his right leg, and his upper body is usually covered with a lengthy black trenchcoat. His sword is strapped diagonally across his back, hidden under the coat. His guns, also hidden, are holstered on the left and right sides of his waist.
[center].:[URL=http://media.ps2.ign.com/media/487/487603/img_1557358.html]Picture[/URL]:.[/center]

[b][u]Weapons[/b][/u]: Abaddon wields a double-edged sword named Azaziel, which has claimed the lives of vampires and humans alike. Holstered to his sides are his twin hand guns, which he calls Heaven's Disciplines. These guns fire at an above-average rate of speed, and can punch holes in reinforced steel.

[b][u]Powers[/b][/u]: Supernatural strength and speed. He also has limited control over flames and shadows. The following are what has become his "signature" attacks.
[b][color=red]Purgatory[/b][/color] - Abaddon holds his Azaziel vertically against his face, the cutting edge facing his opponent. Chanelling his rage into the metal, seething flames leap and dance around the sword's length. The searing blade can slice through the toughest of metals, and cuts flesh and limbs with such intensity that the wound instantly cauterizes.
[b][color=silver]Heavenly Barrage[/b][/color] - Abaddon chanells his desire to overcome and trample his enemies into his guns. With unearthly speed, Abaddon unleashes a storm of shots on an enemy, usually leaving a body impossible to identify. The downside to this attack is that if it is uneffective, Abaddon's entire clip is usually empied for nothing.
[b][color=orange]Breath of the Demon[/b][/color] - Abaddon unhinges his jaw and unleashes a plume of hellfire from his mouth. This attack, not only terrifying to witness, can sear through flesh and steel alike, and has been known to completely incinerate opponents.
[b]Rage of the Pit[/b] - Abaddon sheaths his sword and holsters his guns. Placing his feet a few feet apart and arching his back, Abaddon summons temporary control of shadows. The floor around his feet eventually grows to a ten foot radius, then explodes as pointed tendrils of darkness whip around him in a vortex. The tendrils themselves do minimal damage, but at such a high rate of speed, and with so many flying at once, any opponent is usually cut to ribbons before a succesful counterattack, or even a retreat, is possible.

[b][u]Personality[/b][/u]: Being named after the angel of The Pit, Abaddon is obviously aware of his power. He tries not to act cocky, reminding himself of what happened to Lucifer, but when someone challenges him or mocks his abilities, Abaddon will unleash his full vampiric powers without hesitation. In the Bible, the entity known as Abaddon is hard to peg down with an alliance to either side, alternately called a demon, a fallen, and an angel numerous times. This attitude toward alliances is also common to the vampiric Abaddon, who shifts from side to side, seemingly to others at random. However, Abaddon only switches when an opponent or ally takes a position contrary to his own. This attitude toward friends and foes leaves many beings untrusting of him, which Abaddon is fine with.

[b][u]Bio[/b][/u]: Born nearly two-thousand years ago, Abaddon has completely forgotten his original, mortal name. What he does remember, though, he will never forget. "Turned" at the age of 26, he quickly lost interest in humanity at all, and became a ferocious, animal-like killing machine, surviving on his wit and fangs alone. One day, after chasing a human girl in a forest of northern Europe around the early 1800's, Abaddon was shot by the girl's father. Due to a shortage of blood consumption over the past month and a small trace of silver in the bullet, Abaddon was knocked unconcious. When he awoke, he found himself in the girl's house. The father, thinking the creature chasing his daughter had fled into the woods, was astounded to find a battered "wanderer" not far away. Taking the "coincidence" for providence, the father and girl nursed Abaddon back to health. Abaddon felt the primal urge to slake his thirst with their blood, but for the first time in his life, felt gratitude to others. Over a period of weeks, Abaddon was taught the ways of Christianity by the father, and did his best to supress his urges and return to his lost humanity. One day, a bear wandered onto the family's land, and attacked the girl. Fearing for her safety, Abaddon raced between them, and tore the two-ton grizzly limb from limb. Tasting blood for the first time in months, Abaddon lost control, and blacked out. When he awoke, he felt the taste of fresh blood in his mouth. He then noticed he was kneeling in fornt of the father's makeshift church altar. In his arms was the man, clutching a broken crucifix, two swollen holes still pulsing in his neck.
Abaddon fled the house, cursing himself to hell for what he had done. After weeks of solitude and depression, he took up a new way of life. Abaddon sought to spread the word of God, as the family had done for him, in honor and respect of their memories. He also changed his name to Abaddon, the gaurdian angel of The Abyss. This seemed fitting for him, for he would now with every fiber of his being hold back his rage from consuming the innocent. He now roams aimlessly, slaying all beings, human and vampire alike, who would commit evil deeds and soil the innocent.

[b][u]Other[/b][/u]: [i]The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces. Their hair was like women's hair, and their teeth were like lion's teeth. They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. They had tails and stings like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months. They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon.[/i]

[B]Nickname:[/B] Beth

[B]Age:[/B] 1700

[B]Gender:[/B] Female

[B]Species:[/B] Vampire

[B]Clan:[/B] Gwyar

[B]Appearance: [/B] *attachment*

[B]Weapons:[/B] Beth doesn't use much on the offensive side with physical weapons. She usually prefers to use her magic; the only weapon she uses is a staff, about the length of her arm, that is tipped with a metal spike. She can also uses her teeth and nails as a useful weapon.

[B]Powers:[/B] Beth is very skilled in manipulating her Chi energy. She has mastered basic techniques like Barrier and a simple blow, but apart from those two she also has another powerful attack.

After reciting an incantation, Beth is able to launch a powerful 'Death Blow' that can knock most foes to the ground, Depending on how well trained and how powerful her opponent is obviously determines the damage, though even the likes of Kuroichi would feel a sting form this attack.

Beth is also learning the skill of Shadow Manipulation. She is still researching this as it's relatively new to her even after all her years of being a Vampire. Beth has learnt how to create fairly powerful Shadow Puppets, but they don?t last very long in a heated battle.

[B]Appearance:[/B][URL=http://www.animemaster.net/HACK/Wallpaers/1/Kite.jpg]Kite's Image[/URL] Kyu?s hair is jet black, and his eye color varies with his mood. He wears black gloves that cut off at his knuckles and a dark red and black trench coat. He wears goggles, as well.

[B]Weapons:[/B] [URL=http://www.gungfu.com/pics_general/pics_swords/swords_tohmaki.jpg]Tenrai and Furui[/URL] The divine and ancient
blades. Kyu pulled them from his body after becoming a vampire (see bio), so he is emotionally attached to them. He also has a handgun he conceals in his coat. He rarely uses his handgun, however. Most of the time he fights bare-handed, his blades are only for those he's deemed worthy.

[B]Powers:[/B] Kyu is unique in that he studies and controls one of the most abundant forces of energy that most vampires ignore or overlook, the elements. His extensive research of the four traditional elements-fire, water, wind, and earth- allows him to control the manmade element, steel, and the majestic elements, light and shadow.

He also posses the ability to levitate and is in the process of learning to control his chi. At the moment he can only focus it into his hands and launch small amounts at his opponents.

His last ability is a strong hold over others, mostly humans. He needs only to talk with them for a period of time or look them directly in their eyes and they?re at his beck and call. Doesn?t work to the same extent on vampires.

[B]Personality:[/B] Kyu is kind and compassionate, and nevers turns away one in need. He rarely drinks human blood, but can not always supress his urges. He mingles with humans during the day, though he needs to wear shades to shield his eyes. He's friendly towards most people, and finds it quite comfortable in this new day and age (read bio).

[B]Bio:[/B] Kyu was born to the name Erald Lightfeather, during the 1200?s. His parents loved him dearly and treated him to whatever he wanted. He had one younger brother, Joseph, who was born when Erald was 5. Erald watched over his brother fiercely and spent most of his time with him. One day him and his brother went out for a stroll, when his brother, only 3 at the time, wandered off after a butterfly. His brother was gone for many weeks, and Erald?s family was distraught. Joseph was found nearly two months later, but something was wrong. Erald?s brother had been bit on the neck by some mysterious animal and soon disappeared a few days after being found. Erald became solitary and disconnected after the incident, but he did still have one friend, the only one he believed understood him. His name was Atticus Rinefeild. The two spent all of their time together, and Erald didn?t talk much with anyone beside him. They developed a hatred for their people, the cruelness of their ways. The two grew too sick of European barbarianism and ran away at the age of 12.
They didn?t make it far, however. After a couple of weeks, their supplies were depleted and they were exhausted from famine. They were found by a Japanese samurai who was returning from a journey to far away lands, and brought to his house. He spoke English quite well, and allowed the boys to live with him and his family, as long as they pulled their own weight. The boys gladly agreed. Though they had a reasonably large amount of work to do around the house, they always managed to make time to wander about the unknown city, sneaking into dojos to learn Japanese swordsmanship and bushido, and stealing fruit from local vendors for themselves. They were taught Japanese, but were not forced to go to school. There they lived happily and comfortably for 4 years. After Erald?s 16th birthday the boy?s went wandering off into the mountains by their home, thinking it to be nothing but good fun. While up in the mountains they were attacked by ravenous wolves, and while running away from them they stumbled of a cliff to what appeared to be their apparent doom.
Erald blacked out during the fall, but when his eyes began to open he wasn?t looking at heaven?s pearly gates. There was a man standing over him solemnly. Erald looked down to find he was severely wounded, and he figured he would probably die from blood loss. The man spoke in a soft tone, ?Your wounds are to great. If I tried to take you to a hospital you would surely die.? A tear rolled down Erald?s face. The man continued speaking, now with joy in his voice, ?But there is a way to save you. But afterward?you will seize to be human.? Erald, without thinking, responded quickly, ?Yes, anything! Please save me!? The tall figure?s eyes looked sorrowful, but he smiled and bowed. ?Whatever you wish. Ah, but where are my manners. You cannot trust me if you do not know my name, even if your life?s on the line. I am?.? He flashed a sharp pair of fangs,??Vlad Dracula.? He then swooped down and dug his fangs into Erald?s neck. Erald blacked out once more. He awoke after what seemed a matter of minutes, but what had actually been a couple of weeks. He felt odd, however. As if something was different about him. He tried to sit up but felt a heavy weight on his chest. When he looked to see why, he was amazed to see two blades protruding from his chest. His stay in Japan made it easy to identify the two blades, although. One was a katana, a samurai blade, and the other a kodachi, a samurai shield sword. Suddenly a man stepped forth from the shadows, ?Those are your inner weapons. They are a physical manifestation of your soul.? Erald identified the man as Dracula.
Dracula told him of what had happened. What he was now, how he came to be this way, and how things would be from now on. He also asked Erald to repeat his name to him. Erald thought it quite peculiar, but when he opened his mouth, the word he uttered seemed so foreign. He then adopted a new name, Kyu Hitori. Kyu was the shortened form of the Japanese word for vampire, and hitori was the Japanese word for alone. Dracula took Kyu to America and spent many, many years training Kyu in different vampiric arts. Dracula took him is as his son, and Kyu accepted him as a father. Kyu even called Dracula ?dad? and Dracula called him ?son?. Kyu only went out of his sheltered home on Sundays, and that was so he could go to church. His parents had taken him to church when he was a child, and he had never grown out of that habit. Even when he lived in Japan he prayed when no one was watching. Though church caused him much pain at first he slowly and painfully built up a near perfect immunity to the light. It still pained him slightly, but this immunity allowed him to develop powers of light as well his other abilities. Kyu was let out into the world for more than just a couple hours every Sunday after many years, but because his visits to the outside were brief and secluded he was taken aback by the new world he was introduced to. He had been sheltered in Dracula?s home for nearly 2,000 years and still looked as he did at the age of 16, but the world had changed drastically.
It took Kyu quite some time to get used to the new world, but once he did he decided he would take care of himself. He decided moved to America. Before he left Dracula informed him of some news of late. He told his ?son? of the many vampire clans, the war, and of the rouge vampire, Kuroichi, and the army of strong vampires that followed him. Kyu kept this in mind and departed, promising to come back and visit. Once he arrived in America he discovered a new power and using this new power, a sort of mind control, he acquired an apartment for himself. He went to high school and fell in love with a young lady, Janice. She ran away from her home and had to live in her own. He insisted upon her staying with him. They grew close to one another, he even told her of his condition. She wasn?t frightened though. She had had run ins with vampires, some nice and others not as nice to say the least. Kyu was overwhelmed with joy. A thought suddenly hit him, Now there is another who understands me. The thought was surprising. He didn?t know what he meant by ?another?. Soon after this he began having strange dreams. Dreams about a boy that looked similar to him named Erald and his best friend Atticus. Then he began remembering things. A journey. A house in a Japanese city. Mountains. Then his memory returned in full. He remembered his childhood friend, the samurai who took him in, how Dracula rescued him?his brother?and his parents. He decided that he would go and look for their graves. He found the graves of his family easily, but found no trace of Atticus? body. He decided he would go about his life, but deep down he hoped that something similar to what had happened to him happened to Atticus.
But tragedy soon struck. Janice was shot in the chest and was surely going to die. Kyu went after the thugs and ripped them limb from limb. When he returned to her, she made one last request, ?Bite me?.so we may live forever together?? Kyu looked at her hesitatingly. He knew the horrors of being a vampire, but he couldn?t just walk away. He loved her. And if this was what she wanted, he would give it to her. He bent over her body, kissed her tenderly on the cheek, and the emerged his fangs into her neck. He pulled up quickly afterwards and looked at her face. She was smiling. He watched over her body for many weeks, and when she finally awoke he hugged her emotionally. Her memory returned instantaneously. But she had a new name, just as he had adopted a new name. It was Kay?liel. After witnessing ?rebirth? as he called it, first hand, something told him that Atticus was alive somewhere. But where? He told Janice of his troubles and she said merely to wait. That they would meet again. She was right.
Two weeks later Kyu bumped into someone in the street. He scowled and swung the person around to chew him out. After taking a glance at their face, he became overcome with emotion. It was Atticus. Atticus told him all about what had happened to him, and that he no longer goes by Atticus. His new name was Chienzeru. It was a combination of chi, the Japanese word for blood and enzeru, the Japanese word for angel. He was a part of the Ijuuj clan, but thought the war was pointless. Kyu listened intently, so happy to be reunited with his childhood friend. He introduced Chienzeru to Kay?liel. Kyu and Kay?liel insisted that Chienzeru come live with them. Chienzeru happily agreed.


[B]Other:[/B] Sympathy is his weakness. Take advantage of it though...and he won't think twice about tearing you in two.

[B]All done!! Tell me what you think. If anything needs changing don't hesitate to PM me. ^___^ Sorry that I went ahead with the Dracula idea before you PM'd me back, but I figured it'd be better to just post it and see if you liked it.[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]

[Kairi]

Name: Garyuu Zokusai (however his original name is unknown...his teacher gave him this name which means ''the great unknown man of the 5 cardinal Confucian virtues...justice, politeness, wisdom, fidelity, and benevolence.'')
Nickname: Zoku
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Clan: None
Appearance: A young and handsome man with short, black/silver hair with bangs that come down over his deep aqua blue eyes with a glaze of age and wisdom beyond his years. Around 6 feet tall...he has a very firm toned body...despite his lack in bulk, his true strength is hidden. Wearing baggy pants, gloves, and a muscle shirt; all in which are black...with a silver trench coat...he has a twin dragon tattoo on his back representing the yin and yang.
Weapons: Wields the [URL=http://www.armory.net/CU/CU_mr500186.jpg]Wild Wind Sword[/URL] which evokes the power of the dragon. The grip is cast from the beast's tough hide, while the guard echos the claws from the tips of the wings.Set in the pommel is a sun symbol for even more protection against all forms of evil, given to him by his teacher of the fighting arts. He also has 8 round shotgun hanging from his right side belt buckle.
Powers: His many centuries of training have given him amazing concentration of his KI energy within his body and from the earth. Gaia Blast - a pure shot of energy comes from both of his palms pressed together after drawing in the earths energy. Metero- His palm go above his head collecting energy from within himself into a ball...then throwing it causing a massive explosion (both techniques take time) Overall with his manipuation of KI, Zoku can increase his speed and strength with healing powers when as needed to battle his adversaries as well as little energy blasts from his hands.
Personality: A wise, strong, and loving person... Zoku however is very mysterious and values solitary at times with nature. Because of what he has seen in his many years of isolation and wandering he is constanly battling between good and evil. Usually he is of calm spirit...but at times he can loss control of himself in his sorrow and become enraged. Whether for good or evil is of question...which in turn causes him to seperate at times from people...still yearning to feel peace.
Bio: In the times of Jesus...there were indeed Vampires that walked among them. In those times they were like demons. Found in the unwritten pages of the Bible...Peter, one of Jesus's desciples came upon a dying young boy of pure heart one night...a vampire with no name had just taken the lives of the boys parents and siblings...and leaving the boy bitten. The young boy had tried to fend off the beast...but he was only a child. As Peter saw the boy dying in front of his eyes...fearing the boy would turn; Peter looked into the boys eyes and asked ''do you want to be saved. Not to feel pain my child?'' The boy replied...''what can you do?'' And in that instant Peter drove the evil out of the boys body and restored his life energy. At that moment Michael, the archangel appeared before the two of them. Peter did what he did knowing full well that he had just saved a life of the damned...and that no witnesses were around to see God's wonder...thus Michael cursed the child. That he will walk the earth alone...disattached. That even though he may die...his life wouldl be restored as it was in a new body walking the earth without ever being satisfied again...never to rest, everything that surrounded him would die...till the boy found and killed his families attacker. Since that night...the boy through the centuries has died...and lived again many many times growing wiser and stronger...however death followed wherever he went. Every village that he was born into passed away. And thus he traveled the world as a protector of earth. Observing and witnessing all that transpired over the years. Constantly looking for the vampire that did this to him. However as pure in heart as he was and continued to be...the scar that was left from the vampires bit...and the evil that was left behind (despite Peter's efforts) corsed through his veins never desipated...staying dormant until moments of sorrow. Now in the present time...his name is Zoku...born in Ryuo, Japan. At the age of 10 his powers were to great for him to control causing a massive explosion killing his family and his teacher. All the villagers labeled him an outcast branding him with the dragon symbols of the yin and yang...since that day no one has seen of Zoku anywhere. Some say he wanders the forests of Japan, others see him as just a myth. Till now with the emergance of the war between all Vampires...Zoku again takes action as an adviser and overseer...however now seeking more than ever...that one vampire. ''I most certainly do believe in God...and i absolutely hate the ****.''
Other: You can control Zoku to a point...just keep his emotional state intact until you want his social skills and emotions brought out and developed.
