"Ephidell"
Independent Phashu (Vampire) Male 6'2'' 149 lbs Human Name: ??? Surname: Dalv'ven Master: Ivy Bio: Ephidell is a strange character that has seen a lot in his long lifetime as a vampire species. He seems to go out of his way to act like a creepy asshole, hiding any sort of serenity he may have had when he was alive. This includes being a manipulative asshole at times to people he cares about, and not giving them the time of day if they bore him. He is often times cold, unsympathetic, and uncaring in the way he displays his selfish nature. He enjoys being the center of attention, especially if that attention is scaring the bajesus out of some poor soul. Ephidell is often hypocritical about his own species. One minute he's praising how much better they are than humans, and the next he is putting them down with words like "repulsive" and "corrective". He even goes out of his way to just barely sustain his blood hunger, yet he has no problem sucking down random victims. He is constantly turning a serious conversation into a joke and going out of his way to hide any human-like emotions. Another trait about Ephidell is his unusual dislike of water. At times it even drives him mad. However he has never admitted to the reasoning behind this. Ephidell may seem like a joker that never takes anything seriously, but he is extremely strong. When he is threatened or loses control of a situation, he can turn very violent very quickly. The monster side of him unleashes when he feels he has no control, so keeping tabs on any situation is very vital to his situation. Ephidell always needs to be in the loop and have a grasp on what's going on. Otherwise, he becomes unreasonably frustrated, almost like a kid throwing a tantrum. Speaking of which, Ephidell has adapted a way of life that allows him to get what he wants, when he wants it. He does this through manipulation, guilt trips, bribes, threats, trickery... anything to achieve his goals. |
Mhirou
|
Ephidell cares about Mhirou, but has a terribly awful way of showing it. If he's not scaring the shit out of her, he's teasing her or being a romantic creep to freak her out.
His intentions are confusing, especially to Mhirou. Sometimes she feels like Ephidell is nothing but a selfish creep, but quickly realizes that he is her only friend in the world and protection from all the things trying to constantly kill her. Ephidell's immature side comes out most often around Mhirou. He seems to feel the need to poke fun at her whenever he gets the chance, and has a habit of getting to close for comfort. In the beginning he is manipulative and often an asshole to her emotions, but learns to be a little more sensitive towards her during time, however unsympathetic he tends to be. |
Quo
|
Quo is Ephidell's failed fledgeling. He seems to have made her in a time of weakness and regrets ever turning her. Whatever relationship they had has gone up in flames since then.
The two absolutely despise each other. Although Ephidell obviously has the upper-hand, Quo does not submit to his threats, and compliments them with her own condisending tone. Ephidell usually ignores Quo unless she is threatening Mhirou, trying not to give her any sort of satisfying attention. Quo seems to be bent on either killing Ephidell, or obtaining his blood in order to free herself from his enslavement. No matter what happens, for whatever reason, Ephidell refuses to ever set her free. Perhaps for the simple fact that he does not trust her. |
Harp
|
Ephidell's relationship with Harp seems to go back more than a hundred years, give or take. Ephidell knew Harp as a mortal. Harp was responsible for finding Ephidell as a candidate for becoming a Phashu, and helped rescue him from a pathetic, mortal death. Although Ephidell and Harp started on good terms, Harp went bat-shit insane over the obsession of his self proclaimed human "sister" and did something that Ephidell will never forget. Ephidell takes the presence of Harp very seriously, and has an unnerving reaction to the thought of him nearby. Something in the past has caused a huge rift between the two, and Ephidell will never trust him again. |
Nevi
|
Ephidell doesn't like Nevi. He has no idea why, but something about her just rubs him the wrong way. (This isn't unusual. Ephidell doesn't like a lot of people anymore.)
However, Nevi sure does like him! Maybe a bit too much for comfort. She is always intrigued by him in a scientific sense, and maybe a bit in a personal sense. Perhaps her flamboyance and high pitched tone annoys him. Ephidell has also never liked the idea of such a "young looking" Phashu. The idea of a mere kid becoming such a corruption of nature sickens him, although none of that is Nevi's fault. The fact that she is older than him and perceives such a cocky, snooty disposition annoys the crap out of him as well. |
Samira
|
Although Samira is pleasant enough as a person, Ephidell doesn't seem to have much of an opinion about her. He warns her away from their situation from the start, but becomes impressed with her fighting skills once she does step in to help. Although her and her sister Nevi seem to be invaluable allies at the time they meet, Ephidell gives them the run around town and vague information. It's only until he realizes the usefulness of Mhirou needing to actually socialize that he allows himself to trust Samira. |
Khard
|
Ephidell doesn't give a flying rat's ass about Khard. To Ephidell, Khard is just a learning curve for Mhirou to stick her fangs into and suffer the consequences of her own emotions. Mhirou's love-sick antics around Khard don't seem to bother him much. In fact, he goes out of his way to tease Mhirou about him. He is hardly sympathetic towards her fits when she thinks about him, and tells her to just forget about him. (Even though he probably wouldn't care if Mhirou snuck out and accidentally killed him) Ephidell has never had much care or sympathy for mortals, and Khard is no exception. He finds Khard amusing if anything, for the fact that Mhirou is so infatuated with him. |
