Character Name: Bjorn, the Demi-dark
Age: late 20’s in appearance.
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Appearance: Bjorn stands at a solid 6’2” short dark hair jetting from his head in a fashionable mess. His physic is solid but not overly daunting. He has a long slender muscular structure but obviously very sturdy, a broad chest and slender midsection showcase his innate strength and fortitude. He wears an open trench coat with a high collar. The tail of his coat hangs low and wide around his legs. His simplistic style is accented by his well-fitting slacks and combat boots both solid black with little adornment.
History: Bjorn’s past is riddled in lies and mystery, even to Bjorn himself. Bjorn knows that he is a descendant of some nobility by a crest that he has always kept near to him. Bjorn’s most prominent memory is that of the day he first died. Years ago he was tracking a beast that has been ravaging his people for months; he had finally cornered the hellhound in a ravine far from his castle, his entire company had died during the chase and Bjorn himself was holding on only by thin strands. He approached the demonic beast with sword in hand and that’s when his death came. The hound morphed into an immense dark essence and leaped toward him in a last ditch effort to kill him. Bjorn franticly swung his sword and leaped out of the way cutting the beast in two pieces, one that disappeared but the other rose up to attack again. Bjorn wasn’t so lucky with this second attack; he was only able to lift his left arm in time to cover his face from the hound. It did little to save him. That would be his first death. He did not stay dead however, he arose a changed man, not only did his arm burn as if it were engulfed in an unearthly fire, but we would never be the same emperor again. He lived to reign over his people with brutal intolerance and malice. Until finally the peasants and even his own knights rose up in revolt, and as he slaughtered his own by the droves a lowly assassin approach in secret. By pure luck the assassin was able to drive a dirk deep enough into Bjorn’s side to puncture his very heart, if he had one. The blow was fatal. The villagers tossed his lifeless body into the deepest pit they could find. This was his second death. Many years later he awoke deep within the earth and dug his way up to the surface. With only his deformed left arm to remind him of his past sins and misfortune, he now roams the earth seeking the one that can end him for the last time, or revenge on the one that cursed him in the first place.
Personality: Bjorn’s personality can only be described as intense. He has no time for games, and does not like being toyed with. He is subtly abrasive in his mannerisms and does not take kindly to insolence. Cynical as he may be he finds a mild comedy in the ironies in life; easily able the laugh off most superficial badgering or misfortune.
Weaknesses: Bjorn’s single greatest physical weakness is the curse he carries with him. In a perpetual state of thirst for the blood of his victims his left arm rages for each kill. Also his body does not heal like a normal human does. Only when his arm is feeding will his wounds heal, and when gone long enough with no blood his wounds will surface again to tear at his flesh. His mind will become clouded with bloodlust and he will lose all reasoning and he will revert to a purely carnal state of animalistic behavior and rage.
Weapon: Bjorn wields a 5 1/2 foot long katana and a wrist gauntlet with a razor-sharp blade mount to the side pointing down his forearm in his right hand. His left arm is irreversibly fused with bio-metallic armor plating with 5 daunting claws for fingers. This, his accurse hand is his life essence; with it he draws in the blood of his victims to give him strength and heal his wounds. With just the smallest dribble of blood he can regenerate whole limbs or unleash devastating blasts of energy against his foes.
