FISTICUFFS
CHESTER
Curiosity fills the cat
Why hello there! I apologize, but I simply could not allow my editor to do my part for me. It wouldn't be as much fun that way! So I shall be your narrator for the day, or night, whever you may reside. Please, prepare for the long read and decide if I am so humbly worth your time.
My birth name is Vladimir Kaiser der Nacht Vampir, but that is a mouthful isn't it? I have been called "Chester" before, and thus I will abide by the name. Now, straight to the point. I am a Vampire. My name translates into the "Vladimir, Emperor of the Night Vampire." (It was rumored that my honorable parents spend all day coming up with that name!) However! I'd advise you not to compare me to the vampires that sparkle. I may sparkle like in your shoujo mangas, but never from direct contact of the sun.
Ah, right. I also dabble in fantasy, mystery, and adventure genres. I can also go with a modern fantasy setting, whichever allows people to see me.
I am attracted to humans and their customary food. Hamburgers, as they call it, is one of my favorite cuisines along with sushi. Oh, and I like surprises. What I don't like however, are savages. Those who defy beauty with their very presence upsets me. And koalas. They are evil little creatures.
Now then, how do I usually look? I am 6'1 and is usually seen with my signature silver hair and have quite the slitted eyes. They are gold by the way. I wear a white undershirt with a purple, buttoned, polo shirt with a black jacket to support it. My pants are black as well with my black tuxedo shoes. Got to look classy at all times, but, that is what I wear usually anyways. I can always change my clothing after all.
My personality? Why, can't you tell from my glamorous charm of who I am already? No? Well, that makes it more worth the trouble. Tell you what. Spend time with me, and you will begin to see who I am. I can share a few characteristics though. Mysterious, charming, and above all, entertained.
Shall I tell you of my powers? Before that, I really ought to notify you of my world. My world, as in my tale of Vampires. You see, I am quite aware of alternate worlds where the world of vampires differ from one, so allow me to enlighten you with how we work in my world. I am a Pure Blood Vampire, the highest of all the Blood ranks.
Similar to a monarchy, Pure Bloods are of the highest class, possessing genes of the strongest vampires, and only vampires. We Pure Bloods are extremely rare, coupling only a few existing currently. We do however, possess the right to command all Vampires. Just below are called the True Bloods. True bloods are not that different from Pure Bloods, the only difference marking us would be our strength. While they have a pure blood of only vampiric genes, they do not possess the same amount of strength as we Pure Bloods, and thus, we rank higher than they. After are the Vampires of Royal Blood. Have you heard of tales where humans or other species join the Vampirehood? Well, they are true. Royal Bloods consist of those who have converted into a complete Vampire and rose above our ranks. Next are the Common Bloods. Like all hierarchyies and monarchies, we have the common man, or vampire, in this case. Common Bloods are those who possess vampiric genes, yet do not have any traits that mark them as special, or in other words, have no special blood other than the blood of the vampire and their typical traits and powers. They are your typical citizens with fangs and tendency to have a heatstroke in the sun. Royal Bloods, who are not vampires at first, rank higher due to them possessing the same skills and abilities as their past lives. Common Bloods can be compared to your normal, human, individual. Of course, that doesn't make them any weaker than man.... In anycase, finally we have the Half Bloods. They are creatures of mixed blood, of Vampire and some other species, usually from birth. They are the lowest due to the complications of living as a half-vampire. You see, as a half-vampire, those born Half Bloods possess only half the typical poewr of a Common Blood and whichever specie is the other half. Unfortunately, they also possess the weaknesses of both races. For example, a Half Blood of a werewolf would be vulnerable to both a wooden stake and a silver weapon. Due to their inferiority, they are the most discriminated and racially abused in our world. Pitiful creatures.
Well then, more about myself. I hold the natural abilities of vampires, which include enhanced senses, speed, agility, strength, and whatnot. And briefly put, I am a hemomancer, meaning I hold the power to manipulate blood at my will. I have two abilities that I take pride in, however. One is my abnormal ability to heal faster than many Vampires. Second, is that I possess the ability to shapeshift into an entirely different species, including the innate abilities and talent, as long as I have at least a sample of blood. This however, is only limited to an exact replica of the donor, in other words, I will become a pure copy of the person whom I have taken blood from, while of course, retaining my own conscious. It's such a spiffy ability that I named it "Genome Drain." Anyways, I lose such an ability whenever I drain the specific blood out of me. It also 'resets' whenever I accept blood from the same species again. And yes, I can control blood to my will, but, in all reality, I can simply manipulate the element of water. Really, that's it... Well, I do have one more thing. It's similar to how you people call it a "final form." It's just basically a powered-up version of me. That's it, really... And I lose my mind.
As for my weaknesses, I shall tell you, but only because it may amuse me to what you may accomplish. From the typical lore of vampires, the most common is our lack of protection against the sun. I will tell you that it does not apply to me. Vampires can differ in what they are weak too, however, we do share common weaknesses. Wooden weapons that pierce my skin and into my blood disrupts my healing abilities as well as forgoes my powers. Something about wood may just interfere with Vampires. Next is holy water. Kudos to the church conjuring up such a powerful Weapon. Within seconds, our skins shall "burn." Depending on how much the water was blessed will determine our fate. Also, my physical strength is actually lower than many vampires, meaning I can be overpowered in physical strength. Next is my lack of stamina. I prefer a quick and decisive battle. I detest the ones that drag on.
Aha, I forgot to mention this! As a Pureblood Vampire, we are able to make Blood contracts. What Blood Contracts are, the name tells it all. The conditions for this contract is simple. All I need to do is give you a sample of my blood to drink, and my permission to form this contract. That's all. Once the contract is made, you shall gain the powers of one of the Blood Ranks. However, it depends on how powerful I wish you to be. Oh yes! There is one last thing to say. When we have formed the contract, your life is my control. Aha, basically this means I am your master! Other ranks of the Blood Ranks may use this contract, however, it depends on their rank of how powerful they wish to make the contractor. For example, Purebloods can make the contracted as strong as a Pureblood or lower, True Bloods can make the contractor as strong as True Bloods or lower, but not Pureblood level. Well, I hope you understand this. You must have to be pretty special for me to form this contract with you.
My... history. I shall allow it to be shared, but I shall, how you say, call it quits.
History (Default): Vladimir Kaiser der Nacht Vampir was born to the parents of the highest order of Pure Bloods. Their magnificent power commanded fear and respect from their breathins, and none dared to challenge their orders. Vladimir was the only son that was fit to become the heir to their throne. The reason his siblings held no right was due to the reason that the heir may only be fit for those who possess The Blood of Vlad, the ability to command blood to one's will. His siblings, although jealous, refused to stand up to the future heir, especially after an incident. A small rebellion was to arise from the supposed tyranny of the Vampir family. Staging a Coup-de-tat, they were swiftly removed, erased from history, by none other than Vladimir himself. Vladimir took the form of a powerful entity, which drastic appearance change alone commanded order, and thus, all were dealt accordingly. With power, order, and all the desires one may need, it was simple not enough for Vladimir. There was something more. Something more that he felt was needed to quench his burning thirst. '
His solution was answered soon enough.
In his vast library lounge, young Vladimir was focusing on his studies until he came upon an old book of the human realm. Curious as to what these 'humans' were, Vladimir began to read it. Almost in an instant, he was absorbed into its realms. Fascinated by their culture and history, Vladimir began to demand more information about humans. For centuries he acquired every textbook and history he could grab his hands on. Eventually, he decided reading about them was not enough. He had to see them. It was a requirement. His parents approved, believing the heir should be as knowledgable about other species as much as possible in order to avoid conflict or start anew. Within a moment, Vladimir disappeared into the human world alone.
The human world was simply more amazing than he could ever hope for. Within seconds of his arrival, he felt his breath was taken away for the first time since his birth. It was more than what he could have hoped for. As if an energetic child, he began to roam across the world in a fit of excitement. Simply too fanscinated with the world, he desired more and more, his curiosity never quenced. In a strange way, he preferred not to be satisfied. He hopes the human world would never cease to amuse him. He feared if he did, the standard life of a vampire would return to haunt him. He grew distraught at the very thought, and thus approached his parents.
He refused to become the heir to the throne, instead, granting his brother the access to it. His parents argued that The Blood of Vlad is not transferrable and protested to his refusal. Vladimir chose to ignore them and disappeared into the human realm, never returning to his homeworld. Rumors has it that his parents still pursue him, yet Vladimir was able to outsmart them every time. Years, decades, and even centuries have past. Vladimir has experienced wrath, love, and despair, typical to the human life. Although gradually becoming accomodated to human culture, Vladimire believes the human race has still more to offer him.
UPDATED: I have recently aquired new forms in which grants me new powers. I have aquired the blood of a Frankenstein and a Werewolf. Both are used to my amusements, but rarely for battle as my lack of experience may be the end of me. It doubles as I also receive the weaknesses of these beasts. How did I gain their powers? Through a battle to the death. Literally. I normally do not use the Genome Drain, but, my respects for these two caused me to have them live within me. I shall never forget their tremendous might.
