Spellsword
With an architectural face shaped by sloping lines and symmetrical curves, the young man was less like a living thing, more comparable to a statue carved from pale marble. His hair was kept clean and short, often groomed back or tidily parted, yet there lay a hint of waves he seemed set on suppressing. They exposed themselves in a single curl, a rebellious lock which tended to deviate despite the good intent of sculpting wax. His gaze was often mild, lidded in a state of serenity or illuminated with the glow of inspiration. Freckles form a fixed galaxy from one cheek to the next as a subtle smattering of grey flecks. He had a scholarly sort of nose with a definitive bump to the bridge, seeming specifically structured for the purpose of sustaining spectacles. A budding savant and swordsman, his was an intelligence sharp and wayward. Sturdy of temperament yet malleable of moral, enamored of ethical stamina, with a churning mind prone to mental excursions. The aura about him seemed somehow serene and sinister all at once: artificially tranquil, utterly unnatural, yet distinctly lacking any manner of maliciousness. Gait and posture painted a life of composure and regality, not a stiffened stride but something practiced and precise.

Favors: Exploration. Discovery. Art. Felines. Autumnal weather. Grey, the color of storms and stone.
Dislikes: Monotony. Predictability. Presumptiveness. Intolerance. Dry high heat. Medical facilities.
The Renaissance believed Man to be at the center of the universe, limitless in his capacities for growth, thus came the notion one must nourish their abilities as fully as possible. Its people valued the development of knowledge, physical prowess, social accomplishments, and the arts. There arose the Universal Man groomed in arte (skill), scientia (knowledge), and fantasia (imagination).
Linguist- Common (English), Greek, and Latin, with a dash of rudimentary Italian.
Swordsman- Fencing & Florentine. Adept at flourish blades and small daggers.
Musician- Violoncello and chant song, a deep Gregorian-style singing form, nigh operatic.
Explorer- Arcana, reading of austere symbols. Travel savvy. Perception and investigation.
Inclined towards fixation and can overwhelm himself with study. Sociable, but a need for provocative conversation may make him sometimes seem supercilious. He seeks wisdom through the method of maieutics, asking questions in an attempt at unearthing the latent truth inside a person. Being an anomaly will play with a young man's mind, no matter the degree of self-worth and compassion provided by parentage. He is neither vampire nor mortal, and if dhampirism didn't make him enough of an oddity, his connection to an eldritch plane certainly does. However, he has an innate fascination for the world, a biological craving to immerse himself in it, which his parents trained to channel into exploration and discovery. Tenacious optimism, propensity for learning, an amiable charisma, and hints of boyish wonder make for engaging company in small doses. He is a stalwart travel companion and relentless investigator.
Negative: anomalous, often overwhelmed, dangerously curious, burdened by status, Eldritch eccentricity, fixated
Positive: logical, open-minded, optimistic, enthusiastic, charismatic (with some quirks), perceptive, patient, imaginativeThe Myers–Briggs Type Indicator wrote:{ENFP} The Campaigner: "It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for – and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool – for love – for your dreams – for the adventure of being alive." -ORIAH MOUNTAIN DREAMER
The Campaigner personality is a true free spirit. They are less interested in the sheer excitement and pleasure of the moment, more than just sociable people-pleasers. Campaigners are shaped by their Intuitive (N) quality, allowing them to read between the lines with curiosity and energy. They tend to see life as a big, complex puzzle where everything is connected. But unlike Analyst personality types- who tend to see that puzzle as a series of systemic machinations- Campaigners see it through a prism of emotion, compassion and mysticism, always looking for a deeper meaning.
Campaigners’ spontaneity, the seeming inconsistency and erraticism the untrained eye sees, isn’t a product of flightiness or lack of depth, but the opposite: it is a drive to express ideas about a mystical, all-encompassing energy in the confines of a physical world. Underlying it all is the uniting principle of love, expressed in many different ways, but unshakable and infinite at its core.

The Dhampir of lore are the hybrid offspring of vampires and living beings. This uncanny union often earns them an unfavorable regard; neither Blood nor mortal, these halfbreeds defy the natural order, treading the existential line between mankind and the supernatural. That they possess powers of the undead with little of their weaknesses paints them as abominable and intimidating. To combat this, many are capable of wielding charisma like a weapon, using unnatural ability to bend the opinions of others. They are not undead, though holy magics still have negative impacts upon the vampirism in their veins. What is more: their ability to access supernatural strengths depends upon the consumption of blood. Etymologically the word dhampir is a conjunction of two Albanian words: "dham" (teeth) and "pirë" (drink).

The Lord and Lady Dralt were a curious couple. His was a form of angles and sharpness, she was all curves and softness, while his composed formality was contrasted (or balanced) by her serene spirituality. The wife was often draped in airy flowing fabrics while her husband preferred to be clad in crisp suits, heavy with quality. Both spoke sonorously, however: her voice was soft and dreamy, his was deep and resonating, the contrast between a musical hand bell and a solemn church bell. They shared an ethereal elegance, both in the grace of their movements and the distinctly unnatural airs about them.

Their son proved to be an amalgamation and anomaly at once, both but neither of them.
Pericles shared in their pallor, yes: ivory hair, milky flesh, silvery stare, with a smattering of grey freckles generously bestowed by his mother. Yet his features were firmer than hers, fairer than his father's. Neither gaunt nor round, his face was full and sculpted with symmetry, elegant with erudite eyes. In them, his father's scrutiny melded with his mother's kindness to form a gaze amicable and analytical. Perry's voice was mild, modulated, often watered down with distraction. He presented a preference for clothing clean if casual, neither formal nor frumpy. Although born unto a High Priestess and a Sovereign Lord, the young master expresses no explicit interest in positions of leadership. He has their wanderlust, their thirst for knowledge, driven by a distinct sense of wonder for the world.
