Alright, here's my version of the Prince, let me know what you all think. I haven't settled on an image for him but I will worry about that if we decide to go with him.<hr/><br/><div align="center"><strong>Vampire Skeleton</strong><br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Name</span></strong><br/>Xerxes, Prince of the last true Vampire Clan<br/><em>(Current Alias: Kenneth Donovan)</em><br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Age</strong></span><br/>Unknown<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Class</strong></span><br/>Prince/Royalty<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Appearance</strong></span><br/>Tall and robust, at 6 foot 3 inches tall with a well muscled physique honed by a lifetime (several lifetimes actually) as a warrior, Xerxes is used to being a predator among men. With eyes the color of pale honey and long dark hair falling in shining waves around his rugged features, The Prince of the last true Vampire Clan possesses a commanding presence that is accentuated by a smooth, confident demeanor and a deep voice possessing an innate warmth that can make just listening to him a treat. A lover of fine things, Xerxes has quietly expensive taste when it comes to clothing and living standards and always makes sure to dress appropriately for the situation. Despite this, few can mistake the sort of man he is.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Element </strong></span><br/><em>Fire</em><br/>Xerxes ability has grown incredibly strong over the ages to the point that his range and accuracy are nearly unrivaled. However, the Prince considers himself a warrior above all else and rarely uses his gift in conflict, choosing instead to engage physically wherever possible. That of course says nothing of his more personal affairs.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Personality</strong></span><br/>Much like his element, the Prince is the very definition of ordered chaos. A law unto himself really. Strong in will and might, Xerxes possesses a keen intellect and hidden depth that is most often overshadowed by his arrogance and aggressive nature, not to mention his rather intense and at times volatile disposition. He is cruel and exacting ruler, intolerant of incompetence anywhere in his vicinity, and wholly unyielding and unforgiving. Those of his clan know excellence is well rewarded but failure brings a hefty price. <br/><br/>Xerxes also has a sort of condescending fascination with humanity that often leads him to toy with people both physically and emotionally for amusement, showcasing his sadistic tendencies. He enjoys ruthlessly bending others to his will, sometimes even breaking them completely. The stronger they are initially, the better, though he discards them the moment they cease to be entertaining. <br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Strengths</strong></span><br/>Xerxes enjoys chess and other games involving strategy and logic, his aptitude for such games has made him a formidable opponent in every stage of his life both in simple games and in life situations. <br/>Every single member of the original Clan (his inner circle) was hand picked and turned personally by him. He commands their respect and has their undying loyalty, not to mention they truly share his vision for the future of vampire kind.... otherwise they end up dead.<br/>The Prince is adaptable and resilient. Rather than be left behind by progress, he has made it a point to keep up with modern technology and advancement as it happens. <br/>Xerxes excels in hand to hand combat, and while he may not be overly fond of guns and the like, he will use whatever means necessary to win.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Weaknesses</strong></span><br/>Xerxes' temper burns hotter than the sun once ignited and sometimes ruins even the best laid plans. He hates to be made to look a fool or be proven wrong and usually (with the exception of his inner circle) the messengers pay the price. <br/>Because the Prince refuses to remain holed away out of the sun, he needs to feed a bit more often than a vampire of his longevity might otherwise need to or the cravings begin to get to him and may make him more than slightly unstable.<br/>His desire for Princess is growing to be quite the fixation. While he is still intent upon setting the laws of nature to rights and subjecting humanity to the whims of vampire kind, Xerxes grows ever more consumed by thoughts of owning Luna. <br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Bio</strong></span><br/>Xerxes origins are the subject of much debate and speculation among those who know of him, even his closest allies. Time has worn away most of the traceable information regarding his human life but the Prince is well aware of his roots, he just simply will not reveal them. Despite this lack of concrete information, it is clear to most who interact with him that Xerxes is a being accustomed to holding the reins of power, and a true warrior at heart. Through the ages, and his many identities, those things have remained nearly constant. <br/><br/>Though no one can say for sure where he originated, it is well documented that Xerxes first came to America when it was still known as "The New World". He has been around to see the country's birth and now views its decline (as he sees it) as an absolute waste. He is determined to to unite his kind under the umbrella of a single cause and restore what he sees as the natural order of things. Those who oppose him are considered to be tainted by the humanity that flows around them and if they cannot be broken they are crushed underfoot. Already he has begun making waves in the west with the take over of a coven and the complete annihilation of another, though both were smaller, nearly unknown covens full of decadent, lazy louts. His ploy to pursue the Princess began as a way to scout her and her coven and begin to cull her ranks for those who would follow him willingly but he knows better than to rush the process, especially with word traveling of unrest. For now he is merely watching and waiting for the right opportunity to make his move.<br/></div>
