Name: Blade (known to some as the “Daywalker”)
Age: 34
Height: 5’ 9”<br>Species: Half-vampire
Occupation (if any): vampire hunter
Body Alterations: (tattoos, piercings, scars, etc.) Intricate tribal tattoos all along his body. No piercings whatsoever.
Hair: Black and short. He keeps it cropped short in a no-mess, almost buzz-cut style
Eyes: Sharp gold-brown and ice cold. He has an odd tendency not to blink very much.
Build: Well-muscled and athletic. Blade’s job requires him to be in peak physical condition.
Clothing, Jewelry, etc: Seeing as how black is the most sensible color for his job, this is Blade’s main color. Black slacks, black leather duster; black combat boots, black Kevlar vest; black leather gloves and black, wraparound sunshades. There may be the occasional splash of red her and there - normally in the form of a muscle shirt and in the lining of his duster - but it’s normally a dark, blood red.
Personality: Blade may be the good guy - to most, anyway - but that doesn’t necessarily make him a nice guy. He takes his work very seriously, though he does have a sense of humor in there, somewhere. He can be prickly and downright rude, some of the time, but he values human life greatly and would never intentionally hurt an innocent.
Powers: Being half-vampire, Blade is stronger, faster, and more agile than your average human. His healing factor and pain-tolerance are also slightly higher than most, though, unfortunately for him, the bloodlust can be just as strong as it would be for a full-blooded vampire, though he does not share their aversion to sunlight.
Abilities: See above. The Daywalker also has the ability to leap across ridiculous distances and fall from dizzying heights with little to no trouble. He is extremely skilled in hand-to-hand combat and swordsmanship and he’s a pretty good shot, as well.
Weaponry: Blade is pretty much his own little armory. Silver stakes in varying sizes; a pair of HK USP 9mm pistols, a Mac 10, and a sawed-off shotgun; a few silver ‘whipblades’, a set of silver glaives, and - of course - his silver katana.

History: Before Blade’s birth in 1969, his mother was viciously attacked by a vampire. Because of this, when Blade was born, he was half-vampire. It is unclear what his history was growing up, though he lived on the street and strictly feed from the homeless until a man by the name of Abraham Whistler found him. Whistler realized what Blade was and decided to do all he could to help him. He gave Blade a serum that would help him stem his bloodlust while traning him to hunt and kill vampires.
Many years later, the pair ran into a vampire called Frost; the same vampire who had bitten Blade’s mother. Blade and Whistler stopped the psychotic vampire from releasing La Magra, the Blood God, though Blade made a terrible discover in the process: his mother had been turned the night Frost had bitten her. As such, he was forced to kill her. To make matter worse, Whistler had been turned during the fight and fled. Blade would not give up on his good friend, the closest thing he had ever had to a father, and so the Daywalker spent the next two years searching ferverently for him. Along the way, he picked up a new partner by the name of Scud. The pair managed to find Whistler in Prague, finally, and cure him of his vampirism.
