  Garth has silver-grey hair, reaching past his shoulders, and usually tied back in a 1-braid ponytail. He is extremely pale, with almost white-grey skin, very pale lips, and no colour in his cheeks. His eyes are bright red in color. He is taller than average, with a slender build. He is usually seen dressed up like a gentleman from the early Regency era, complete with exquisitely tailored dark coats (cutaway, with coat-tails), linen shirts and cravat. Black is a huge preference for coats, though his shirts come in a wide variety of colours, and he is always very immaculate in terms of dress, and personal cleanness. However, due to present circumstances, he sometimes wears clothing more suited to the times he is in. Mainly collared shirts, sweaters/hoodies, formal slacks and leather shoes. All as immaculate as possible, and in the finest quality he can find.

• Personality

  Garth is a vainpot, to put it simply; he spends a lot of his time on his appearance and his clothing. He can be quite narcissistic as well, very proud of his appearance and accomplishments and very fond of telling people all about them to boot. He is a creature used to comfort, and can barely function in a place without a bed, a dresser, a desk, and most recently, the internet, in preferably as luxurious a setting as possible. Strangely enough, Garth is actually rather kindhearted, going out of his way to help people who present a significant need. In addition, he is very polite, and a peaceful individual who prefers to cause as little trouble as possible. He is also very hard-working, putting a great amount of time into his artistic pursuits.

• Biography

  Garth was born in Somerset. He hailed from a distinctively middle class family, with a solicitor father and seamstress mother, and an elder brother. He lived quite comfortably as a child, and his parents had money to spare to train in the arts when it was found that he had a talent in that area. Specifically, at 10, he chose to specialize in painting, and he has been refining his craft since then, even until today.
  
  At 25, he became famous for his paintings, and with fame came money. With money came the desire to live up to the standards of the upper-class society and to present himself as immaculate and refined. He endured much teasing as a result from his father and elder brother, and chose to move into a single apartment in London. He only visited his family on special occasions, devoting the rest of his time to honing his craft and socializing.
  
  At 50, however, he began to show signs of visible aging, and he grew desperate to negate it's effects, investing in creams that were said to have anti-aging qualities. However, he was unable to stem the tide of aging and grew quite depressed at the thought of loosing his appearance, mobility and subsequently, life. It was during this time that he began to associate himself with a man who proudly proclaimed that he was 75 years old yet still managed to look 30, abet very pale. Garth wanted to know his secrets, and in private the man told him that he was a vampire, and that as a Vampire, Garth would look young and live forever. Immediately, he agreed to be turned.
  
  Unfortunately, being a Vampire also meant a lust for blood, and it was ultimately this need that caused Garth to regret his decision to turn. He also found that undying meant outliving all his friends and family, and thus realized how lonely it ultimately was. And even though he looked young enough, he was extremely pale, and found that he could no longer go out into the sunlight, something he used to treasure. In the dark of the night, on the other hand, was when he found himself most powerful and active, discovering a super-human strength and speed twice as fast as the fastest human that was, unfortunately, only present when it was dark.
  
  To this day, Garth still remains alive, and he still continues to work on his paintings, and he still continues to lust for blood and feed on people gullible enough to allow strangers into their homes, and above all, still continues to maintain his immaculate appearance and dress. However, he has all but become a recluse, only venturing out and socializing due to the need to feed. One day, he hopes to be discovered and disposed off, to be allowed to move on into the afterlife rather than continue to function in this way, but until then, he will simply continue painting, feeding, and looking good.
