| Bio: |  Name: Alejandro King Age: 25 at death, and is currently... 25! D.O.B.: November 5, 1983 Blood Type: A-, Angel (weak, no longer applicable) Race: Vampire, Gabriel bloodline Level: None Powers: Those typical of the Gabriel House bloodline. His wings are traditionally feathered, but soot black, with streaks and dabs of red in the feathers here and there. Physical Description: There isn't anything imposing or dangerous-looking about Alejandro. Hell, he hardly even looks dead: he carried his tan with him into undeath, even if it's a little grayed out. He is reasonably well-muscled and average in height, at 5'10", and his hair is plain brown, kept at a messy mid-length and often in his eyes. His face has almost effeminate look to it, though not as much as when he was younger. The faint near-beard he sports above his lip and under his chin help the masculinity thing a lot. He's the first to admit he's always been "pretty", however, and isn't afraid to use it. At times Alejandro is surrounded by an air of self-confidence, even arrogance, and at others a simmering anger, but surprisingly often for someone who tries to exude independence and capability, he seems remarkably vulnerable-- even shell-shocked. Whichever the case, however, Alejandro's confidence has always been coupled with the certainty that he will always be alone. Personality: Alejandro has never really liked people. Any people, in fact-- humans, demons, weres, vampires, whatever. Alejandro's not the type to try and get to know a person, not unless they make a huge effort, themselves, to convince him to. Alejandro can be nice enough when he wants to be, but it's always on his terms, and those terms have always been that he's only interested in you for what you can give him. Of course, your 'use' may be friendship, as he doesn't mind having friends if they don't annoy him, but there could always come the day when he decides he's not interested in it anymore. Alejandro is an innately selfish being with a somewhat unhealthy love for seeing people in pain-- preferably people who deserve it, admittedly, but he's not picky-- and a very jaded outlook on the world around him-- to him, most people deserve it. He really doesn't have much in he way of friends. Not that this had ever bothered him in the past-- he was fine on his own. After all, isn't that how he's always been? His father abandoned him and his mother was too concerned with what he could do for her purpose to give a damn about him. In his head, the only person who has really ever been there for Alejandro is Alejandro and that's the way it will always be-- that's the way it should be. He always considered himself more than enough to look out for himself and anyone else. Unfortunately, right now that doesn't comfort him like it used to. Dying has shaken Alejandro, and badly. Vampires were bloodsuckers and parasites, or so he'd been indoctrinated, and one of his mother's prime targets. Now that he's one of them... he isn't sure what to think. His near-impenetrable self-confidence is full of holes, his absolute certainty in his ability to look after himself is cracking, and his near-unshakable ego is very much shaken. There's no question that, when in doubt, he'll fall back on anger at the world, arrogance, and his loner's nature, but he's also very adrift and lost. The only thing he's ever really cared about besides himself was when he helped his mother kill, both the pleasure of actually carrying it out and for the lives he could save, and now he doesn't even have that. Sexuality: Straight as an arrow. History: Born of a human father from Brazil and a mother from England who had angel blood, Alejandro called himself a half-breed to the extreme: mixed race, half human, half angel-- even though there was barely a drop of the angelic in him. After all, he liked to think his own problems were the worst in the world: he's has always been one for the dramatic when it comes to himself. First of all, he's always made a fuss about the fact that his father left him and his mother when he was ten. Apparently he saw one too many people killed by Alejandro's mother, a minimally angel-blooded but still rather nasty and narrow-minded hunter, and decided he couldn't be with her anymore, and Alejandro never forgave him. Once it became clear the guy wasn't coming back, Alejandro decided to stick to mother's family name of 'King'. That led into the second part of his childhood that was dramatic: his mother routinely killed people, never lived in the same place for long, and had high expectations of her son. Once he was old enough, Alejandro learned what little his blood could do-- not much, with it only on his mother's side, but he did try-- and learned to take help his mother killing what she called "abominations", aberrations of the natural order, supernaturals. Even they, she said, were unnatural, and when their purpose was through there would be no need for them in the world, either. He helped, as she wanted, but he was torn. He believed her when she said evil needed to be destroyed and he felt the calling against evil keenly-- he saw his father's face on many of them-- but the first time he actually caused the pain and then death he enjoyed it more than he thought he would, and that actually scared him. Before he really came to terms with the dichotomy-- the calling, and the fear of the calling-- he was discovered by a Gabriel House vampire in the usual way: he was mentally stunned, and he was bitten. The vampire, pleased by her find when she tasted his blood, quite promptly killed and turned him. This was only two months ago. She taught him what he was, kept him with her for about a month, and then let him flee as he wished when the Light of May increased his paranoia and he got annoying. After a flight across the states, Alejandro finally stopped running when he found himself out of money and out of options in Scarlet Oak. The name seemed to fit, so he got himself a job tending at one of the bars in town, rented himself a small house, and set about vampire-proofing it. He hasn't been in town long, and hasn't tried making any connections yet. All his feedings thus far have been out of town, making good use of his wings and fast flight, and he feeds a little more than he has to. Since the Light of May: On the whole, it's just made Alejandro a more paranoid. He still hides his fangs to the best of his ability, he still avoids touching people, and he still won't admit easily to being dead. Now that it's out there and public and people know? He's more vulnerable. Special Skills/Abilities: Good with knives, a spiked mace, and a short-range pistol. Speaks Spanish fluently and Brazilian Portuguese almost fluently. Makes a mean mixed drink. Not bad at being a complete asshole. Does that count? Personal Weaknesses: Self-hate: Before he died, Alejandro thought vampires were among the lowest of the low. Now that he's dead? He's having a hard time shaking that mentality, which means... he is suddenly the lowest of the low. This wars constantly with his intrinsic self-confidence, making his mentality pretty damn shaky right now. Paranoid: Alejandro thinks everyone and their dog is out to get him. He really does. He tends to take different routes home from work every day, checks his rear view mirror constantly in case he's being followed, and never, ever sits with his back to the room. Ever. This also tends to make him defensive of people asking who he is, what he is, wanting to know anything about him beyond what he wants to give them. Sadistic: Pain, quite simply, gets Alejandro off. Not his own, hell no-- other people's. It made him a pretty poor angel-blooded, before, and it used to cause him huge amounts of guilt. Now? It just doesn't. He's too depressed and self-loathing to care anymore. He tends to indulge in feeding a little more often than necessary, in fact, because of that fact. Pride: Alejandro can do anything. Without help. Without anyone looking over his shoulder. And nobody had damn well better question that, or he'll prove them wrong. The one good thing about being dead, now, is that this is a little closer to true: he is a little harder to kill, but he can certainly still be hurt or overwhelmed. He isn't really over-confident, he's really more defensive and fiercely independent. Sunlight: When he was alive? Alejandro was a total beach bunny. He hates the fact that he's dead, if just because he misses the sun, and can often be found just on the edge of sunlight with a wistful expression. Sometimes-- often, actually-- temptation is just too much to resist, and he winds up sunbathing for an hour or two, and then he's completely zonked for the rest of the day. In general, he's working at half-mast because he's been in the sun too long that day. Personal Strengths: Fake confidence: Though there's some real self-confidence still in there somewhere when it comes to his abilities, anything else is faked, now. He is standing on shaky ground, but he can pretend with the best of them. Unassuming: Alejandro is pretty, he mastered the knack of smiling without showing his fangs, and he really doesn't look as dead as many vampires. People tend not to assume he's a bad person-- until they get to know him, anyway. Flight: The first time Alejandro was taught to take out his wings, he never wanted to put them away. He learned how to fly in record time, becoming quite proficient even before he fled his sire, and it is one of the only joys he has-- even if it is tainted by the fact that he never could have had it if he hadn't died. Family: Angela King, mother (angel-blooded) Maria Starr, sire Living Conditions: He rents a one-bedroom house in the poorer part of town, all the windows carefully blinded to keep out sunlight. When he wants his sun, he goes outside, because looking at it from inside just pisses him off.
