☆ Name: Darian Gotia
☆ Age: 183, stopped physically aging around 24
☆ Gender: Male
☆ Sexuality: Pan
☆ Race/Species: Dhampir [Father was Vampire, Mother was Human, Romani]
☆ Height/Build: 6'0". Made of lean, sinewy muscle. His shoulders, arms, and thighs are his most toned, sculpted muscle from his life of fighting and being on the run. Despite this he is thin; his midsection tapering in tightly before jutting to his hips. [Due to years of only eating human food, abstaining from as much blood consumption as possible]
☆ Appearance: From a distance, Darian could easily be mistaken as a normal human. However, getting closer, it's fairly obvious there is something not quite human about him at all. This combination has made him have a strange mix of being conventionally handsome, but yet beautiful at the same time. His mother had beautiful, sunkissed-copper skin which he has slightly inherited, though much paler; resembling the color of a paler, earthy clay. His black, thick hair comes from both sides; it falling in large waves to his shoulders in the front and a bit longer in the back; falling between his shoulder blades. His eyes are a steely blue, a trait from his father, that slowly morphs to violet, then a pinkish red when fighting off his vampiric urges. His pupils are naturally an almond shape when relaxed but can constrict thinner depending on the light. The combination of his dark hair and lighter eyes on tanned flesh gives him a sort of dark complexion/expression most times.
His outward vampire trademarks are much more subtle; His ears are very softly pointed, which he often hides with his hair. His canine teeth are slightly longer and sharper than most humans but not very noticeable until up close; but lengthen when his vampiric side threatens to come out. His nails are naturally sharp, but not claws, but Darian also tries to keep them trimmed down as much as possible.
☆ Short Bio: Darian was born from a human mother and vampire father: It was not a consensual encounter. However, his mother still decided to keep and raise him as her own, attempting to teach him of the kindness of humans and to use his abilities for good. It was when he was around 16 years old that his mother was murdered by the local townspeople where they had been temporarily living at the time, mostly due to Darian and stating that it was because she was a witch that slept with a devil, causing him as her offspring. Before she died, she had told him to remember the half of him that was her; something that he struggled to hold onto his entire life. He has never really felt a sense of peace or comfort; as he is hated by both humans for being part vampire, and hated by vampires for being part human.
Living a mostly nomadic life due to never being able to stay in one place for long due to being driven out and forced to move again. It was only the last six or so years that he has been able to live on the edge of a town fairly peacefully, only tolerating him because he protects them from vampires and other paranormal creatures/monsters.
☆ Personality: Darian is very much a silent, distant man. He's never known much kindness in his life and has often been betrayed by those who showed any semblance of it, so doesn't trust easily, if ever. Despite that by outward appearance he seems rather young, it is obvious he is world-weary and tired. However, of the very few humans in his lifetime he's known to be truly kind, or children who don't know any better of his species, he is quite gentle and guiding; though still very quiet. He has never known a vampire that has ever treated him with anything but disdain and distaste.
Through his life he has also fought the cruelty and violence that stirs within him from his vampiric parentage, or carnal urges when it comes to feeding; which also isn't helped due to the treatment towards him from humans.
☆ Known Abilities: Incredible speed: even faster than some full blood vampires, inhuman strength, advanced healing [though muted/slower than a vampire's], heightened senses, night vision, heightened intuition. Can glamor humans to lure them in, but not quite at a level of mind-control, just attraction and distraction. Has some control over certain animals, rats/bats; but very minor and doesn't practice this often to know the extent or what other animals. Many of his abilities are unknown or dormant due to abstaining from feeding on humans and living in a constant state of half-starving. Being raised by his mother and other Romani, he has vast knowledge in the esoteric and spiritual, which he was able to make more powerful into the use of magic due to his vampiric heritage; but never having one to help him sharpen those abilities, it is unknown of how powerful this magic is/can be.
☆ Weaknesses: While being able to be a daywalker, there is still a sensitivity to sunlight. He cannot be exposed directly in bright sunlight for long periods of time before collapsing, but can tolerate it with basic clothing protection and can even be out in indirect sunlight without much issue. It also just makes him sick/paralyzed when he is directly exposed. Has no shifting ability as far as he knows, but has never tried.
☆ Added notes: Silver has no response, but blessed/holy silver can cause mild agitation, more like a basic allergy. He is not restrained to the requirements of Forbiddance and can come/go as he pleases without invitation.
☆ Weapon Use: He primarily uses a talwar that was given to him by his mother, that he has had modified to have the blade fused with blessed silver. He is trained on the use of many different sword fighting styles, and has no qualms using a vampire's weaknesses against them in a fight.
His usual armor is a bit on the more simplistic side, as it's all made by himself. Most of the actual metal of his armor is silver.
[Both of his arms would be covered in his case]
