ARIC ROUAN
---- THE BASICS
Character's Full Name: Aric James Rouan
Nicknames and Aliases: N/A
Age: 490 (looks in his early to mid 20's)
Species: Immortal- A warlock blessed his painting so it would age in his stead. Any damage he takes will heal and end up showing on the painting. Healing takes time depending on the damage, but heals faster than a human's and the wounds heal in the order that they were struck. So they don't all heal at the same time.
Played By: Stuart Townsend
Appearance: Aric is pretty handsome, with long brown hair and brown eyes. He prefers to dress in a leather coat that holds two guns and a dagger on the inside. He wears V-neck shirts usually and a pair of dark jeans. Aric stands at 5'11 and weighs about 190 lb.
Personality:
Aric is as brave and cunning as they come. He has a strong sense of justice, and won't accept anything, but the truth. People have often judge him for someone un-trustworthy and harmful, but he won't harm you unless you give him a very good reason to. Like his father did. When he feels threatened by someone, he will often plot something against them. If you get on his bad side, he has no problem betraying you.
Aric is extremely friendly, and though you may not see it, he is quite happy. He enjoys being around people, and loves to meet new people and become friends with them. It may seem perfect, but he is often troubled by his past, and has flashbacks of his father hurting him, or of his father's death. He's a little twisted inside, by the years of abuse and this causes him to do some pretty twisted things, like killing his family.
Powers and Strengths: Aric is a very quick healer, if shot by a gun, the wound will quickly heal, but if he's shot with a shotgun and almost blown apart it would take hours upon hours to heal and regenerate. He's immune to human diseases, his body requires no sleep, and after run-ins with several vampires he wears vervain on his person to avoid compulsion.
Vulnerabilities and Weaknesses:
Aric cannot look at his portrait, if he does the magic will be reversed. The painting will become young as it once was, and he will show his true age and die. Another weakness is that if something happens to the painting, it affects Aric like a voodoo doll. If you stab it in the heart, Aric will die in that same way. Severe wounds, like losing a limb, or an explosion, or being lit on fire will take a very long time to heal, and any wounds that are dealt after that will have to wait to heal until the first wound is healed causing him to be neutralized. He is vulnerable to magic, if you pull out his heart he dies, or if you cut off his head he'll die.
---- HISTORY
Aric was born in London, England and grew up with an abusive father, who whipped and bruised him for the smallest things. His mother did nothing about it since she was very afraid of her husband, though he would never lay a hand on her. As Aric got older he began to plot against his old man. It wasn't fair having to deal with these beatings for no reason at all except that he was a human. Aric wanted his old man gone for good. So he could never hurt him again and there was only one way to do that, Aric had to kill his father. So one night when his old man was asleep, Aric slipped a poisonous snake into his bed. His father died, and the snake left the house. It was just Aric and his mother after that. She showered him with love, the love he wished he had from his father.
Aric gained a friendship with a very wealthy warlock man named Lucian who painted the magic portrait for Aric and blessed it. Lucian asked in return that Aric would marry his daughter and of course he agreed to it. It was a small price to pay for immortality. A contract was made, saying that Aric must stay married to the girl til death. If Aric killed the girl it would break the contract and he would lose his immortality. So he plotted to have her killed by another. As long as it wasn't done by his own hands, he was free of the contract. He screamed 'witch' (not literally) and the woman was burned at the stake. Aric knew it was only a matter of time until Lucian realized what had really happened and came for the painting. So he quickly went to Lucian's manor and killed him in cold blood. He then searched the house for Lucian's will and changed it so his wealth would be left to Aric himself.
Now that all the work was done, Aric was able to live in peace for a few hundred years until he met a vampire who compelled Aric into serving him. The vampire used Aric as a bodyguard, since Aric couldn't die from anything. Aric hated being a slave, he was compelled to follow everyone of his orders. Knowing it was a vague command, he went to another vampire for help. Together the two took down the first. The vampire who had helped him gave him a ring with vervain so he couldn't be compelled anymore. Aric thanked him by driving a wooden stake through his heart to keep himself safe from the vampire. After the murders he had committed he thought best to sail to the new world so he wouldn't be found out. He went to Mystic Falls and raised some hell there for a while. But soon calmed down and went into hiding. Now he's decided to come out of hiding with all the supernatural things going on.
---- ROLE PLAY SAMPLE
Zamiel had been walking for days now to get to Besaid. He hoped to see his father again at the lodge. He could just teleport, but that would drain a lot of power considering how far he was from the small island. No, Zamiel decided to walk all the way to the other end of Spira, then teleport when he got to the shores. It was much less power draining. If he were to encounter a fiend after draining too much energy, he could be in serious trouble depending on the strength of the fiend of course.
The fiends Zamiel would encounter on his journey through Spira wouldn't be much trouble. In the blink of an eye he would have them burning at the stake, literally. He also had Heavenrare on his side, his trusty sword. But drawing the blade meant being harshly tempted to give in to carnal desires, and he really did not want to risk that. It would take all his willpower to overcome it and put the sword away. Giving in to desires is to tempting for any creature. And that temptation is the nature of anything or anyone that is evil, Zamiel thought, Resisting it is the nature of all that is good in the world. If he wasn't a fighter, Zamiel would definitely make a good teacher or religious leader. Though the idea of religion made him sick. After finding out that the teachings of Yevon were all a hoax, it made religion seem pointless.
Zamiel was trailing through the woods, the sun was just setting over the horizon. It could be seen in little cracks through the leaves. In about twenty minutes the sun would set and it would begin to get dark. The woods were quiet, peaceful, not what you would expect this place to be, usually it was crawling with fiends. "Sin's dead," Zamiel said to himself, "Less fiends must be being created from the dead. It's so amazing what the death of one beast can do!" He wasn't one who believed in killing, but sometimes there was just no other choice and when it came to Sin there really wasn't. It was rare that you could go anywhere in Spira without seeing Sin's destruction.
The night was about to fall, Zamiel decided to stop his travel for the night and make camp. He gathered some wood together and surrounded it with rocks. His eyes lit up a bright red and a fire lit upon the wood. This way after he fell asleep, the fire wouldn't go out, but it would burn the wood instead. He sat down underneath a tree and laid his head against it. He had gotten about thirty miles in today, he hoped to get more the next day, but instead of worrying about that, Zamiel closed his eyes and filled his head with pleasant memories.
