Name: Gavner Nahs
Age: 114 (human equivelant 21)
Race: full-blooded vampire
Hair Color: red
Eye Color: red
Height: 6'6"
Weight: 160 lbs
Occupation: vampire general

Personality (Optional): Gavner is a humble, yet confident creature of the night. He is loyal to his friends, and his pride is his most valuable possession. He respects those who show respect to him. He believes it is honorable to die in combat, rather than flee from a battle he has started


Appearance: Gavner is 6'6" and approximately 160 lbs. He has a mess of tomato red hair that covers the top half of his ears and sharp, glowing red eyes. He has a medium length face with an angular cut jaw. His nose is smaller on his face and his ears are normal sized. He had a long scar starting just above his right ear going across his cheek down his neck and ending at the base of the left of his neck.

History: Gavner came from a rich family. His parents were always obsessed with work and did not have much time to spend with him, as a result Gavner usually wandered the countryside seeking adventures. One of his favorite places to visit was a graveyard where he would pay respects to strangers and find flowers to put on their graves. One day he stayed a bit too long and before he knew it it was starting to get dark. On top of that it had started to thunderstorm. Gavner found an old cottage that the groundskeeper had abandoned and he sought refuge from the storm in that. He entered the cottage and felt that he wasn’t alone. It turns out that he was sharing the cottage with a vampire named Fintin. Fintin explained the vampire race to Gavner and asked him if he would like to become one. Gavner decided that he liked the sound of the lifestyle and agreed. Fintin blooded Gavner at the age of 14, and Gavner has aged at 1 tenth the rate humans do. When gavner turned 105 he began to train to become a vampire general (a vampire who roams the world checking in with vampires and making sure the vampire laws are enforced). After 6 years of intensive training he passed the requirements and became a vampire general. He was battling with an exceptionally strong vampire and that is how he got his scar.

Skills:
Combat without using a weapon:
Gavner is extremely skilled in combat without weapons. He is a master in vampire martial arts which is a lore mainly focusing on weak parts in soft tissue and armor, and utilizes the strong nails of the vampire. Gavner is skilled in this martial arts while fighting armed foes, or unarmed foes.
Knifes: gavner has trained for years, and is greatly feared whenever he uses knifes. He has deadly precision while throwing them and is equally skilled while wielding dual knives, or a singe knife in hand to hand combat, but he seldom carries them on his person due to traveling purposes

Abilities:
Hearing (x2)
Strength (x2)
Speed (x2)
Since Gavner is a vampire, his strength is 2 times that of a human. His hearing is 2 times that of a normal human as well; gavner can hear from about 100 yards away and through medium thickness walls when standing right next to them. His speed is also 2 times that of a human. Vampires have the ability to move at a supernatural speed (approximately 100 mph) but ONLY to travel places. This can NEVER be used in ANY battle, and can NEVER be used to gain any sort of advantages. This does NOT affect any other player in any way shape or form, it is simply a method of transportation.

Equipment: Gavner currently carries no weapons. His black fingernails, and his sharp black teeth are as strong as iron, and can cut through any material that is softer. He uses his teeth to sharpen his nails. He is usually garbed in a long black traveling coat and a cape that is black on the outside, but the inside and the collar is red. He wears black boots but it is not uncommon for him to go barefoot with his tough feet

Hello there, and welcome to Althanas! I see we have another fan of Cirque du Freak among us :)!

For the most part, this looks really nice and well-balanced, but there are a few things that might be considered too powerful for level one. When I say that, I mainly mean that you're teeth and fingernails can be as hard as iron, but it's difficult for something with the strength of iron to cleave through something else with the strength of iron. In a sword-fight, two iron swords clashing very powerfully might break the blades, but a glancing blow or deflection might only cause a scratch. I personally have never seen an iron sword cut clean through another one. If you would specify that you can cut through low-tiered cloths and leathers with your claws(and teeth), and maybe gouge iron, it would be much appreciated.

As to your abilities, everything looks good. I can let the (100mph) deal slide considering you seem to know not to use it in a battle, and I get where you're coming from(having read the entire Cirque du Freak series years ago, it holds a special place in my heart.)

Is your hearing the only enhanced part of your perception? How well could he hear compared to a regular person? To be honest, literary equivalents are preferred for all your stat boosts, but not necessary.

Clear these things up and I will be more than happy to approve you!

Okay, I cleared up the fingernail and teeth thing, but I am confused about the hearing thing, would you say that since a normal human can hear from about 50 yards away and through thin walls while standing next to them, gavner can hear from about 100 yards away and through medium thickness walls when standing right next to them? Or is that too powerful?

That's fine, if you'd like to edit that in, it would be much appreciated.
