Name: Michael Morbius
Age: 25.
Height: 6'2,
Species: Vampire
Occupation (if any): Former student chemist.
Body Alterations: Slightly elongated fingernails, that are now more claw-like than anything else.
Hair: Dark, fluttering around his brow, ears, and the back of his neck in a near feral disheveled manner, but sometimes it appears slicked back.
Eyes: His eyes are an equally dark brown, but when angered, or giving into the thirst, they will flood into a dark crimson shade.
Build: Tall and lean, with a fairly muscular build, and rather imposing, with or without his vampiric powers.
Clothing, Jewelry, etc: Morbius wears dark clothing, to help him blend in with the shadows that he has grown so accustomed to. His main attire consists of dark boots, dark pants, a black shirt, usually collared, or a sweatshirt, and a cloth black duster that reaches his ankles. He wears no jewelry either.
Personality: Morbius is dark, broody as hell, given his condition, and he can't be anywhere near the love of his (un)life, Felicia Hardy, who he would die for, without hesitation. He tries to keep himself from succumbing completely to the thirst, but he will feed, but never on an innocent. Thugs, murderers and the like are always the ones to fall to his fangs. He's determined in a number of things, especially in finding a cure for himself and returning to Felicia
Powers: As a vampire, Morbius has enhanced strength, speed, agility, tolerance to pain and discomfort, and healing powers. He can also fly, without the use of wings. His bones became lighter, which allowed him to propel himself through the air if he so desired. Also, he can suck the blood of his victims through his hands, which have grown sucker type holes on the palms that can open up and drain blood if he wished to do so. Also, he's immune to most weaknesses, and is far more resistant to sunlight than others of his kind. True, it can harm him if he stands out in it for long periods of time, but it will not burn him in seconds. Also, he has slight hypnotic powers, mainly through eye contact, and when he's feeding, making his prey docile.
Abilities: Morbius is a skilled chemist, since he won a Nobel Prize in that field, and knows how to use a blade in a fight, as well as his own fists and feet. While he isn't specifically trained in fighting, he did know some self defense techniques before he was turned, and using that along with his vampiric abilities, have made him a rather vicious fighter.
Weaponry: When not using his fists, feet, or claws, Morbius will use twin daggers that he keeps in sheaths in his coat sleeves.
Morbius' Coat Blades
History: Michael Morbius was a Nobel Prize winning chemist who had settled in the city of New York before his vampiric transformation. Hailing from Europe, the chemist settled nicely in the USA, even gaining a romantic interest in the form of a fellow student by the name of Felicia Hardy. It was his chemistry that led to what he is now.
Michael was dying of a rare disease that attacked bloodcells, and he was determined to find a cure for it. He believed the source of the disease, as well as the cure, lied in the blood of vampire bats, and began testing on them, extracting blood and using it on himself. Unfortunately, an accident occurred, and the vampire bat blood, combined with electric shock treatment, turned him into what he is now. Fearing what he had become, and what he could do to those he cared for, Morbius fled the country, hiding out in Prague. He is now trying to find a cure for his vampirism, so he can return again to American, and to his love.
