Name: Maximillion B. Belthasar
Nickname/Alias: None Yet
Age: 27
Race: ½ Elf / ½ Vampire
Height: 6'7"
Weight: 245 lbs
Occupation(s):
Nobleman: As the Bastard son of Elthas Belthasar, Maximillion has the benefit of the resources and political backing of his Lord father, although his tactical prowess has earned him recognition and respect where his Bastard Status may have only earned him scorn and disrespect.
Fighter: Not a focus of Maximillion's, but he's an accomplished Bladesman, although his primary focus is in Unarmed Combat (not trusting the durability of man-made weaponry, and the reliability of always having a weapon on-hand). While he has the formal discipline and skill of this ability, he is still working on strengthening his mind, body and spirit, so as to become better at the martial arts.
Information Broker: The proverbial "bread-and-butter" of Maximillion's livelihood, Maximillion comes by knowledge and information easily, via his countless "Eyes-and-ears" that extend far and wide, amongst Nobles and beggars alike, and everyone in between. He often sells, buys and trades information between various parties.
Personality:
Using introverted feeling as his base function and extroverted intuition as his creative, Maximillion is adept at understanding people’s internal drive and motivation. he often acts reserved, and polite and respectful around others he doesn’t know well, but will eventually open up more. He implicitly trusts His intuition when judging someone, and this intuition serves him well at grasping more abstract concepts. He is constantly setting new and greater goals for himself, and he cares deeply about meeting these goals. However, it should be noted that these goals are very personal, and he places less weight on the conventional achievements that society values, so often any correlation is largely coincidental.
At His best, Maximillion is known for respecting other people’s beliefs and values, while also being an overachiever; at His worst, His compassion and empathy can cause him undue harm when the people he cares about are suffering. he care about diligence, meeting His individual goals, and respecting others. he dislike behavior that is overtly loud, abrasive or aggressive.
History:
Maximillion is, despite being a Bastard, the sole heir of Elthas Belthasar, a former Commoner who earned his name, title, land and prestige through his acts of heroism and proven valor and courage in the face of battle. Raised with the intention of being groomed and conditioned to one day inherit House Belthasar from his father, Maximillion was always encouraged to sit in when his Father held court for the local Lords and Ladies, and the vassals who have sworn allegiance to House Belthasar.
Maximillion's "claim to fame" isn't an ungodly amount of physical or supernatural might, but an otherworldly degree of intelligence and (albeit selective) cunning. He isn't known for lenience when one of his House's vassals owe money, but he also has a reputation for always paying his debts in a timely manner, often exceeding expectations in his expediency. Maximillion is good at managing the accounts and finances of his House and Family, as well as collecting taxes from the vassal Houses, without having to beg, plead, or resort to force....that is, after having demanded hostages from each of the vassal Houses who owed debts until they were paid, crushing and erasing the Houses and Bloodlines of any vassal Houses who refused to pay their debts or taxes.
At the young age of 27, Maximillion is an accomplished Bladesman, proficient in the sword, cutlass, dagger, shortsword, longsword, bastard sword, machete, and an interesting assortment of other bladed weapons. He has an eye for detail, even those details others would often overlook or miss, as well as coming by information (via his Eyes and Ears) that have shocked even the most wizened and shrewd of politicians, bankers and Nobles.
Appearance:
http://puu.sh/eBS7R/1db3a517a1.png
+ Height: 6'7"
+ Build: Muscular/Athletic
+ Eye Color: Darkred (Sclerae); Yellow-gold (Irises); Black/Invisible <varies> (Pupils)
+ Skin Tone: Ebony
+ Hair: Long, Wavy, Dark-Brown
+ Fashion Statement: Dark purple leathers/finery (varies by setting), dark purple cloak, crimson brooch, often with the Coat-of-Arms for House Belthasar embroidered somewhere (sometimes in more than one place) upon his clothes and/or cloaks.
Skills:
• Combat Knowledge: Blades (Low-Tier/Steel)
• Dual Wielding (Low-Tier/Steel Bladed Weapons)
• Martial Tactics
Abilities:
• Healing Factor
Maximillion is capable of healing from even fatal damage over an extended period of time (15 posts), with less-than-fatal (moderate) damage generally healing within 5 posts. However, regeneration comels at the cost of Energy and Blood. If blood is able to be consumed during the course of the thread (at least roughly a pint's worth), the wounds will hea at twice (200%) this rate. Even brain trauma can be healed, although his memories won't quite be the same afterwards. (Passive; will lose potency if made to heal serious injury in two posts, unless more blood is consumed)
• Telepathic Manipulation ("Mindspeak")
Maximillion is capable of speaking telepathically to others, as well as opening 'channels' through which he and even a non-telepath can communicate. When used on animals, he is able to communicate with them on a unique 'wavelength' unique to his communications with them. He can assert his thoughts over theirs if they are weaker-willed creatures (squirrels, rodents, and other creatures who're slaves to instinct), but can perhaps negotiate and maybe even persuade smarter creatures (wolves, tigers, lions, bears, etc). Creatures who're naturally inclined to be subservient to their masters (domesticated animals, barring those owned by other players <unless part of an agreed-upon plot and given permission>) will naturally be unable to resist him asserting his thoughts over theirs. As with intelligent animals/creatures, he cannot assert his influence over a humanoid being (friend, enemy, etc) unless they are naturally predisposed to trust him and/or be subservient towards him (PCs require OOC Permission from their Players).
• (Limited) Power Mimicry
Maximillion can copy a Power/Ability used in front of him (offensive/defensive-style, not like Shapeshifting) with minimal potency just by seeing it done in front of him. He can do so to a moderate amount by being struck by the attack/technique/ability. He can do so to a stronger amount by consuming the blood of the target. He can do so to a POWERFUL amount, if the power is bestowed upon him 100% of the user's own free will.
