Jared Nomak

[Nomak]

Name: Jared Nomak

Age: Aprox. 25

Height: 6'1"

Species: Reaper

Occupation: None

Body Alterations: A vertical scar from his bottom lip to halfway down his throat, insides are unlike the inside of a vampire or human body, white skin with yellowish tint, visible veins.

Hair: None

Eyes: Pale, pale blue irises, surrounded by extremely bloodshot whites - in fact, there's more red than white.

Build: Tall and lean, well toned though not overly muscular, somewhat long-limbed.

Clothing, Jewelry, etc: Nomak dresses like a bum you'd find on any alleyway in many countries. It's really just camoflauge to keep the vampires off his track and humans from seeing what he really looks like - until it's too late, anyway. He has a tan jacket that reaches his knees, with fur on the back and a bit on the inside, with torn and worn edges. Semi-baggy pants and black boots, with a hooded, zip-up sweatshirt, gloves that are missing some of the fingers, and a thin shirt beneath his sweatshirt. He also wears a ring given to him by his father - a gold ring with the Damaskinos family crest on it.

Personality: Nomak is a reaper - a freak of vampiric nature, and he has a few, issues, with that fact. He's vicious, he's sardonic at times though mostly just with himself, he doesn't pay much attention to those he spawns though he will take up leadership for them time to time, mainly when he thinks they could be useful to him in an upcoming situation. He knows who his father is and despises Damaskinos with a passion. He hates all vampires and now preys almost solely on them. He has always kept to himself, even when just his father's lab rat, and his mutation hasn't helped with his social skills. Nomak doesn't know how to handle certain situations or deal with people more than killing them, fighting them, hating them, or just passing by them. He has complicated feelings towards his sister, whom he isn't sure if he hates, fears, loves, or pities. He often feels all of those for her. He solely hates his father though. Nomak also isn't sure what to make of Blade, but for the most part, he regards the Daywalker with respect. He won't hesitate to kill Blade, but he would prefer to have him as an ally instead of an enemy.

Powers: Nomak has similar powers that vampires have, and that he once had - only mutated, and more potent. He has a powerful bite and can paralyze his victims. He has incredible strength, extremely fast healing abilities, and swift reflexes. He shares only one weakness with vampires - sunlight. The reaper virus gave him immunity to all other weaknesses, except a direct stab to the heart - but it's encased in extremely strong bone and almost impossible to get to.

Abilities: With almost no combat training, one would think Nomak would be easy to beat in a fight. Hardly. Nomak can pick up almost any fighting style he sees, and he can do it swiftly and efficiently. He fights only with his hands, and has no experience with guns or bladed weapons. He more than makes up for it in viciousness, strength, and agility.

Weaponry: None.

History: Jared Nomak was the first offspring of Eli Damaskinos meant for the vampire overlord's experimentation on the vampire virus. His mother was artificially inseminated, and killed as soon as he was born, then raised alone and used for testing. He had little contact with his fathers or anyone else, and most of it was with scientists while they were performing tests on him, or his tutors. He was taught until he was eighteen, learning the vampires' history and just what his father's goals were, as well as how to read, write, mathematics up to advanced levels, and history of humans, as well as some science. He was a rapid learner, and could remember everything he heard. His father was more worried by the fact that he was a prodigy than proud, and kept everything outside the lab hidden from Nomak's knowledge, including the existence of his sister.

When Jared was around twenty-five, the latest tests performed on him caused a mutation in his to occur. Dormant genes and leftovers from past tests all combined to create a new, vampiric like race - the reaper strain. It gave Nomak immunity to all weaknesses he had held, except for his weakness to sunlight, but his new strengths and powers were mutations, freakish and twisted, causing him to constantly feel the thirst and to be in agony. He was no longer cold but burning hot, as if running a dangerously high fever, and needed to feed as much as possible just to find some relief. Damaskinos, disgusted by this development and worried about these new, powerful mutations and Nomak's quick mind, he ordered for his son to be put down. Nomak fought back though, managing to escape into the sewers and quickly heading into the city of Prague where he stole clothes from a few beggars after feeding on them.

Despising the weak and cruel race he had once been a member of, Nomak quickly discovered that vampire blood - cooler than human blood - soothed him more than human blood. While only a brief reprieve from his pain, it did give him more relief. He started to solely hunt vampires, feeding on human only when necessary and no other food source was available. He learned that his father was the vampire overlord and had a daughter- Nyssa. Bent on justification and retribution, Jared Nomak vowed he would take his father down at all costs. He knows that his father has sent Blade the Daywalker, Nyssa, and several other vampires after him, and has had one confrontation with his sister and the Daywalker. He seeks Blade's partnership more than death, but won't hesitate to kill Blade should the Daywalker get in his way.
