Accepted, Welcome to Crimson Kiss...
Name: Stefan Ge'Val
Age: 26
Current Age: 3615 years old
Where Do You Live?: Stefan has just arrived in New York City from Europe.
History (include where you were born, when and how you became a vampire): Stefan Ge'Val was born in the year 1607 B.C. Nearly all of his life up until the rise of the Roman Empire is clouded and hazed in his mind. He doesn't even remember his birth name, the name his human mother gave him.
He remembers the pain of his transformation... He became a vampire in the year 1581 B.C. and he can not remember the one who bit him. He also remembers the day he adopted the name 'Stefan Ge'Val'.
As the Romans conquered land after land, they eventually came upon him in what is now Romania. At the time, he had no use for a personal name since he knew no one and kept to himself. But the power of the Roman army intrigued him and he adopted a Romanian name and did small favors for the Roman legions... helped to dwindle their enemies in the night, for the most part. In this way, he became known as an assassin of sorts to the Roman Empire and he learned much of the way of the new, civilized world.
In the end, he found the temptation of power too great to resist any longer. He used his ties and his power to ensure his safety... and he created a small coven of vampires within the city of Rome. This small coven fluctuated in size and power over the years, but ever, Stefan was the head of the coven. The undisputed (for all other vampires feared his power... to temporarily blind another vampire) leader of the coven
Certain reckless members of the coven, however, alerted the citizens of Rome to their presence and all of the coven but Stefan were caught in either flames or sunlight. Stefan was not particularly unhappy for he knew that the weak minded followers he had brought together were doomed to be discovered and destroyed. He left Rome forever by the year 234 AD.
Stefan spent nearly a thousand years traveling the eastern world and learning all he could of it's mysteries. Discovering the Children of the Moon (werewolves) and even other vampires along his way. He became intrigued on the origin of the race of vampires and, finding little evidence in the eastern world, he left for the new world in the year 1569 AD. Though he searched for two centuries he found nothing to uncover the origin or even the past of vampirism.
Stefan returned to the old world in Europe in the year 1855 AD and began his search anew. Tracing his own self back to as far into the past as he could remember. He found no answers.
Frustration and a degree of despair over the uselessness of the struggle overcame him and he settled himself in his home of old, Romania. There he built a beautiful, yet relatively small, estate and lived quietly as madness and futility crept into his being. There he stayed until the year 2005 when he heard from an old acquaintance that there was information about the origin of vampires in New York City that he MUST see. Stefan was wary at first but in the end he secured his ancient home and left for the city that never slept...
He feared no danger. He had never met a single vampire older than he. He was strong, faster and more experienced than any other of his kind with his three and a half millenia of life. And he had yet to meet a vampire that did not panic from the few seconds' blindness he could inflict upon them should they want a fight.
Stefan Ge'Val was wary of himself. If this turned out to be a false hope... another dead end... if there was nothing in New York City....
Stefan Ge'Val had lived for 3615 years and he saw nothing in this world worth living for. No answers, no comradeship (he found most other vampires boring), and no reason to keep living an eternity.
Stefan Ge'Val was tired.
Personality: Stefan has a kind personality, a curious mind, but he is overcome with grief and misery for being alone for so long. In a fight, though he could easily defeat any opponent, he would rather not fight at all and despises killing other vampires.
Life Style (do you hunt animals or people?): He hunts humans, but if there are no humans or a limited supply of humans, he can and will hunt animals instead.
