User Name:
seafire
Name:
Sanada (surname) Taro (given name, meaning first-born male)
Age:
17
Gender:
Male
Appearance:
Taro appears to be in most respects a normal attractive seventeen year old Japanese boy. His eyes are not only almond shaped, but they are the color of almonds as well. His hair is rather long going down to the middle of his back, he usually keeps it in a loose pony tail for comfort. As a vampire he stands out a little in the fact that his fangs are not retractable. His fangs are not real long and they look like hyper extended human canines.
Personality:
Taro leans toward proper Japanese behaviors. Because of his nobility, he tries to keep others at a distance. However, for some reason he tends to develop very strong bonds of friendship. Any further personality traits will develop through role play.
Vampire Powers:
Taro possesses all the normal vampire abilities such as heightened senses, hyper speed, and enhanced strength.
He also posses an ability that anyone can develop, even humans, and that is Shadow Stepping. This ability allows the user to vanish into the shadows. The members of his family can use this ability to such a degree that they seem to almost vanish in broad daylight.
He also possesses an ability that is unique to only the Vampires of his family, Cold of the Grave. This blast of cold air has many uses that are only limited by the users ability and imagination.
History:
Since the vampire blood of his family has thinned, most members of his family are born human now. Taro is the first vampire born in the family within two hundred years. What makes him very unusual in the current generation of his family is that he has a younger identical twin brother that was born human, about ten minutes separate them. Because of the families status and wealth he and his brother were almost exclusively raised by their Governess, Ms. Gloria Smythe and their Nanny Naniko. Ms. Smythe is a British vampire that was a gift from a British clan of vampires as a peace offering in the mid seventeen hundreds. Naniko was hired by their Governess not long after their birth, mostly to help her with the care of Taros brother. Since the birth of the twins she has taught them to speak English so that they were raised bilingually. Their English is flawless to the point that they sound like well educated British boys. Since the age of nine the twins have pretty much had a security detail around them, almost at all times, because of a threat that had been made on their lives at that time due to family politics and also at that time Taros brother was turned into a werewolf by the head of the family branch house, who is quite literally their grandfather who is known by the family as Ojii sama or Sanada san. Sanada sama is reserved for the head of the main house of the family. With the twins having been born into the main house of the family they both would have been expected to become politicians, however events have changed all that and Taros brother will now eventually become head of the Branch House of the family after their grandfather and Taro will have another role in the family as seventh in line of succession. The reason for Taros new position in the family is that it will allow him to keep a security detail and only Vampires live in the main house and rule the family, humans are also part of the main house but they have lesser rank with special status of moving up in rank as a vampire or moving into the branch house as a werewolf and humans of the branch house can do the same. The branch house of the family not only contains humans but that is were only the werewolves reside. The reason for this arrangement is that early in the history of Japan a small clan of vampires banded with a small pack of werewolves in a relationship of mutual benefit for survival. Since then the family has grown quite large and influential. At one point in Japanese history the Sanada family even sat poised to sit on the throne of Japan.
Crush:
He has none at this time, however the family expects him to participate in an arranged political marriage that he does not agree with. This is the only family issue in which he rebels.
Other:
Because of his status within the family he doesn’t have many outside interests other than that of honing his martial arts and keeping up with his studies. As a result of this he sometimes gets a little jealous of his brother because his brother finds the time for all of his interests and excels at them. The one thing he feels proud of his brother for is the fact that before his transformation, his brother could hold his own against any of the vampires in the family when sparring and now no one in the family can touch him.
