Name: Devonus Draconum
Age: Roughly one century, 23 when he joined the ranks of the undead
Race: Half-Elf/ Vampire
Hair Color: Bright blond
Eye Color: Ocean blue
Height: 6’2”
Weight:210
*Occupation: Former Druid and ranger of the Red Forest

*Personality: Naturally charismatic, his powers of persuasion have only been enhanced by his new vampiric gifts, however this façade hides a dark and brooding mind, still in anguish over his loss of life. However the past century has withered away much of his original personality and he has come to enjoy the hunt and kill.

Appearance: perhaps the first characteristic to be noticed by someone would be his luminescent hair which seems to shine in no matter what the lighting, second would be his blue eyes which seem to bask with an deep intelligence and give the impression of a man of emotion as well. Then they may or may not notice his pale skin, but in the moonlight where he is normally found it usually goes unnoticed. That’s if you’re lucky enough to see him when he’s not trying to kill someone that is. When hunting his appearance seems to change completely, that is if you see him at all. The blood lust over takes him and his eyes turn an iridescent red and his nails become natural weapons as they grow to a length of 2 inches

History: Devonus lived out much of his teenage years learning the ways of woodsmanship and hunting under his human father, learning the art of tracking and archery at a young age. His mother a moon priestess for the local clan of wood elves taught him several of the ancient magics and bestowed upon him a deep understanding and love for nature, as is common among her people. However due to his bastard heritage as a half elf he was unable to join the druidic community. Angered by the racism of his mothers clan he moved on at the age of 17, leaving his family behind to test himself in the wilds of the red forest. He versed himself in the ways of that dangerous crimson forest and learned where he could go safely and where not to even think of venturing. As his experience in the red forest expanded he set himself up as the unknown warder of it’s border. He guided travelers safely around and through the red forest and became the protector of its grounds from those who would destroy it.

However, when he chose to hunt a feral beast that stalked the red forest and killed both innocent human and beast alike he doomed himself to death. A savage creature of immense power, Devonus sought out and tracked this creature, only to be attacked and killed by the creature……. He was turned by the creature which he later came to know as a vampire. It taught him the ways of the vampire, but Devonus forever missed nature which forsakes his unnatural life, and he lost most of his druidic powers, though some of them have been warped to dark necromancer like powers.

Skills: Archery- Devonus is an above average shot due to his previous training as a ranger as well as the vampiric enhancement of his vision.

Tracking- Devonus is an above average tracker able to follow animals and people through the wilderness and use his vampiric sense of sight and smell to aid him in this task.

Swordsmanship- Devonus is proficient in the use of long swords as is the tradition of his elf heritage

Druidic magic-
Animal communication- Devonus is able to communicate with animals telepathically, however due to his undead condition few will allow him close enough to do so.

Corrupt nature- Devonus previous powers over nature have been completely transformed into the opposite, able to gradually corrupt things of nature into dark and twisted forms.(In general this means that Devonus can take such things as a tree and gradually corrupt, causing it to become infused with the powers of evil, which allows him to control them like he did originally as a druid. It can also warp animals into hideous beast if Devonus has time to do so but both of these things take time. The lesser the plant or animal the easier it is to do.)

Vampiric Traits:
Super Natural Vision-Devonus is able to see farther then the normal human being but still being young by vampiric standards his eyesight is only slightly above natural

Telepathy- Devonus has slight telepathic abilities, mainly associated with telepathic communication amongs others of his kind, he is still to young to use the excessive telepathic abilities like the elders of his kind can

Unatural strength and agility- Devonus's natural physical abilities have been enhanced beyond the normal standard of mortals, though he is still weak when compared to other's of the vampiric race.

Regeneration- When his bloodlust is fully sated and he spends one day at rest, Devonus is able to recover from minor to moderate wounds.

Equipment: Long sword
Long bow
Leather breast plate and bracers
Back pack
Cloak
Clothing.

*Familiars: Blood- A crimson wolf hound from the red forest, it is the only animal companion which remained with Devonus after his turning, and he shared his supernatural blood with it. It seems to be gradually gaining some of the supernatural powers of it owner, though now it remains largely normal

His archery and tracking skills may be Above Average and his swordsmanship Average.

Also, I'm going to need you to describe in detail exactly what his corrupt nature can do.

I've fixed the requested material, though I’ve still tried to leave the corrupt nature part vague to leave some option available during role play. What exactly I corrupt them into depends upon my imagination and amount of time available to my character. Also is it necessary to list the characteristics usually associated with vampirism?

Yeah, the corrupt nature is fine as it is, as long as you understand that at this level, he's not going to be able to corrupt something like a dragon into his little minion.

And yes, all skills and abilities must be listed, including racial ones.

Ok i've finished adding the needed stuff and yes i understand i can't convert a dragon to my cause, maybe i could turn a bunny into a viscious demonic force of destruction instead :D

Haha! I want to see a vicious demonic force of destruction in the form of a bunny. I never did trust them. Too cute. :p

Just keep in mind that his strength and agility are only 1.5x that of an average human.

And you're Approved!
