007. AND YOU FEAST ON?• animals, humans (lovers and donors [will and unwilling]), bloodbank when necessary and when provided

001. YOUR FACE• Alessandra Ambrosio.
002. HAIR• A golden light brunette that in the light shows the natural highlights a blond. Her hair would be lighter and more of a dirty blonde if she could be out in the sun. When she was human most people said she had blond hair, but now it is simply a golden light brunette.
003. EYES• Her eyes are a teal blue that are a deep rich color. When looking at her eyes in normal to dark light it is like looking at the darker areas of the Mediterranean Sea. In the direct light the color fades to a lighter blue, but keeps a darker teal/blue rim around the edge of the iris. The lighter blue was her human eye color, and like her hair comes out with the sun. (So obviously it’s rare)
004. HIEGHT• 5'8' barefoot, but is hardly ever barefoot.
005. WEIGHT• 118 lbs. this makes her tall and skinny, it was the way of her world when she was human, and she cannot grow out of it as a vampire. No matter how hard she tries.
006. BODY MODS• Originally only ears piercings, but as the culture changes to include more she pierced her belly button and tongue. However, the tongue ring was removed after a few years and is no longer there.
007. FASHION/STYLE• She prefers the relaxed, casual look. Not to feminine and not to manly. Jeans and heals are usually the preference. The tops vary from t-shirts to tank tops to corsets. She doesn't do preppy, bohemian, western, or couture. She can dress up with the best of them however and will throw on a beautiful gown when needed. She always has at least eye-liner and mascara on but usually tries to make the makeup look as natural as possible. Her hair is either up in a messy tucked in pony tail or flipped out when it’s down. She keeps it just below shoulder length and cut in layers, not matter what decade.

001. LIKES• Swayze has a few indulgences and obsessions that she has acquired over her years. She loves chocolate and sugar even though it does not help her survive. Swayze also enjoys her fair share of sex. She’s willing to sleep with anyone she finds attractive at least once. Swayze also enjoys crafting and watches Martha Stewart whenever she gets the chance. She also loves animals of all shapes, sizes, and breeds.
002. DISLIKES• Swayze does not like bigots who cannot treat everyone equally. She also hates unnecessary drama, such as when someone stresses over nothing. Swayze does not enjoy talking and arguing about religious beliefs or politics. Swayze can even get pissed off when someone does not respect her when they should because of her authority, it would be morally right to respect her, or because they should based on some other reason.
003. FEARS• cockroaches, falling in love, being completely alone, the unknown, being unprepared
004. STRENGTHS• independent, learns quickly, can handle almost any situation without losing her cool, confident
005. WEAKNESSES• Swayze doesn't trust people easily, seems stand offish to others but is really just trying to be neutral (stoic if you please), cocky/bitchy when upset, doesn't open up to others often, and lets her guard down quickly once she decides to trust someone.
006. ODDITIES• Born British, but her accent has pretty much disappeared, however, when she gets excited or upset about something it leaks in. Swayze may be an independent tom boy but in her down time and when she’s alone she enjoys crafting everything from scrapbooks to jewelry. She has multiple scrapbooks and memory books from her past that she keeps hidden. She can also sing and in the 1800’s she was in theater as one of the star actors. Luckily, there are no posters or pictures of her face to make people realize she is the same person from back then. Swayze has also done a lot of traveling and lived in many places but has never felt at home unless she found a partner which has only happened 4 times in her almost 500 years of living. She has created a home in London, Paris, Switzerland, and Pennsylvania when it was a colony. Because of this traveling she knows many languages but does not always use it so she forgets some of it sometimes.
007. ORIENTATION• Bisexual, no preference to which one.
008. SPECIFIC MORALS• Treat everyone equally until they give you a reason to treat them differently.
009. PERSONALITY OVERVIEW• Swayze has been through a lot in her long life span, and it has caused her to learn a lot about other people. But she still is not sure about herself. She has come to the realization that she can come off a little harsh when she first meets someone so she tries to counter that.

In a first meeting, Swayze will smile and introducer herself in a normal human way. She is only formal as a vampire when she knows she is dealing with another vampire. But to start any relationship she smiles and jokes to make the other person like her. However, if a person presents themselves in a harsh way, Swayze will flip a switch and treat them the same way as well. She really believes in treat others as they treat you.

When Swayze has a friend, and they are a close friend, she opens up even more. She jokes, talks, laughs, and helps her friends in any way she can. She is the person that most of her friends go to for help, to confide in, and to ask for advice. She’s not sure how she got this position among her friends and those she cares for, but because they are people she loves and/or cares for she is happy and willing to help.

Swayze is very passionate on a few things. When she falls in love the falls hard. She has fallen a few times in her life, but only as a vampire. She tries her hardest to do anything and everything for that person, which is completely contradictory to the rest of her personality. She cares for them, does their bidding, and smothers them. This has back-fired on her a couple times and Swayze has learned from her mistakes but not enough to make her stop doing it. Now, she simply waits to act this way until she knows the other person at least somewhat feels the same way. With that being said, she doesn’t have to be in a full blown relationship. She loves good sex and has had many friends with benefits without any emotion attachment.

All in all Swayze is the person that others can depend on but she does not need to depend on others. She will become dependent on a lover, but only when she is in love. She’s willing to help her friends and loved ones as best as she can, because in all she really just wants everyone around her to be happy with her in their lives.

005. HISTORY OVERVIEW•

Swayze was born in the working class of a small British family back in 1541. She was not afforded luxuries or any special treatment as a child. As Elizabeth I was pushed away from her family because she was claimed as an illegitimate child of the king Swayze became a confidant. Swayze’s family worked for the king and when Swayze met Elizabeth who was seven years older than her Elizabeth considered Swayze like a younger sister. Swayze did not judge Elizabeth because of her who mother was, and she felt it unfair of how her half-brother treated her. Because Elizabeth had this relationship with Swayze, when she was finally Coroneted as Queen, in 1559, asked Swayze to be one of her ladies in waiting. Swayze at the time was only 17, not very educated, and was the daughter of the help, but she accepted the position as an honor.

Swayze’s Mother was a nurse for the kingdom. Her Father worked for the British military. He served his country and protected its people like they were his own family. He placed these values on Swayze, taught her to handle her own, but to be respectful and polite. She was raised as the boy he never had, while her mother tried to raise her as prime and proper as she could. Swayze, however, ended up somewhere in the middle.

But when Queen Elizabeth I brought Swayze into her court she provided her with education, elegance, and a new life. Swayze spent the next five years under Elizabeth’s walls and care. Swayze was her confidant; she assisted the Queen in daily activities as well as discussing her problems. Swayze even stood in as a body double when the Queen traveled to keep her safe. She had dedicated her life to the Queen, loved her like she was family, and would do anything she asked.

It was on a warm night in late June, when the Queen was resting in the palace and had told Swayze to take some time for herself. Swayze went to dinner with her mother in town, her father was out of the country, and then decided to explore the city she grew up in. It had changed since she was a child, almost like a new city as she walked around watching people. She was not in the fancy outfits the Queen had provided her, because she felt out of place in the rural areas of the city. She wore a simple dress and heels with a sheer shale to cover her bare shoulders. It was not lady like to show shoulder, but Swayze was hot and had designed the dress herself. She liked it.

It was that night she was accosted by her maker. A male, slender, tall, and had the body of a worker, muscles, strength and rough hands. He offered Swayze a drink, which was strong and caused her to lose inhibition. Swayze was not a virgin, she had lost that a few years earlier but had not yet become obsessed with sex. But her maker, Ben, changed that, that night. And in the middle of giving Swayze amazing pleasure he bit her neck. Although the sensation was surprising Swayze actually enjoyed it. It was not until she felt weak, light headed, and about to slip into unconsciousness that Ben stopped. For reasons still unknown to Swayze Ben decided to turn her. He created a slit in his wrist and let her feed until she slipped into unconsciousness. After Swayze turned, Ben taught her everything she needed to know. He was there for her when she had to realize she could not see her family and friends any more. He was there to teach her to hunt, to kill, and how to feed w/o killing. He taught her tricks and tips and they lived and loved together for years. But it was only sex and education.

They parted which sent Swayze on her journey’s throughout the centuries. She lived in many countries, learning many languages and cultures but ultimately preferred the English culture. She moved to the United States while the colonies were being created and has stayed there ever since. She has gone through what most young Americans did in each decade, but she kept to herself for the most part. Her friends came and went, her lovers usually humans and fled when they had suspicion, but she wanted to find others similar to herself.

Yo', my name is Swayze, and I've been the walking dead for 469 years, and I've been grave robbing for 9 years, I dug up lovely Crimson Kiss by means of Google and adore it.

001. ANYTHING ELSE?• This is my first time RPGing via message boards, usually I do IM chats in first person, in a dialoged format. So please bare with me in figuring everything out. Also, I am in law school so I want to do this, but it cannot be my first priority. However, knowing me and my procrastinating it will be o:) Please tell me if I’m doing anything wrong I won't take it personally as long as it’s told to me in a polite way. And I will be polite back to you
002. ROLE PLAY SAMPLE•

LA, Los Angeles, the Angeles, Hollywood. Swayze had come to California in the 70’s, but she still looked 23 almost 40 years later. She had to move and start over. This move was from northern California to the hot and dusty LA. She started out getting an apartment in West Hollywood, a safe neighborhood near bars, clubs, restaurants, and shops. Even though she had enough money to buy a house, even in LA, she did not like to flaunt her money. It rose to many questions to be “23” with a lot of money. She had learned over the years to keep life simple.

But what was she going to do in Hollywood? The thought of movies were a dream, but how could she get there? Swayze wasn’t an actress, she could sing but didn’t like to, and any she didn’t have the talent or know how to create the movies. So she decided to learn. Swayze had a lot of experience from school and life in working with business’s and companies. She had received her newest degree only 3 years ago so it was still acceptable to represent it in a resume. She went to every studio and applied for a business position to help in any way she could.

Surprisingly it only took 3 weeks to get accepted in a position at Warner Bros. Pictures. She was assigned to assisting the production team for films, nothing to elaborate but there was room to move up. She had even figured out a way to get to and from work in the day time without too much trouble with the sun. There was underground parking everywhere she went, and even in the summer she wore long sleeves, pants, and a big hat.

Swayze was happy to go shopping and buy new clothes, one of her favorite past times no matter what era or decade. She shopped at the Beverly Center, a huge indoor mall full of a variety of shops and stores. With bags in her hands she decided to stop by the food court and get one of her few indulgent of human food. It was dinner time and the stores were about to close, but it was dark outside and it had been soon after she had arrived. After waiting in line Swayze asked for a double trouble chocolate chip cookie, two chocolate chip cookies with icing in the middle. She watched them make a fresh cookie trying not to smile and flash fang.

“Mmmm…” Was all Swayze could say when she took her first bite with her eyes closed.

Alrighty, a couple things we need to work on before you get accepted;

• Spell check - you need to run it, please.
  
• I'd really appreciate if while you run through it again you'd fix the grammar errors. (Sentences begin with capitals and end with periods, all that rot.)
  
• For likes, dislikes and oddities I'd prefer some things listed that are very original, very quirky and only Swayze. I realize you may have an intention for each one but if that's the case maybe explain it? For example, being able to sing isn't really "odd"...

Thank you for your cooperation. Let me know through personal message when you have made the amendments.
