Physical Description: Behold, a picture below! Also, quick note, the art is mine but the design isn't. Basically, think of it like a sheet of stickers. I put it all on a sheet of paper, but I didn't make the design of them. Hope that helps. Credit goes to Panda_Courtney.

Personality: Ashton is a rather friendly fellow, willing to interact with nearly anybody. While he doesn't mind talking to people he doesn't know, he rarely opens up about his personal life. At least, not until he knows then better. Ashton may seem mostly polite and calm to the average bystander, it is a completely different story once he warms up to someone. He is very loud and very excitable. Curses and insults are plentiful whenever he talks, as well. Once you gain his trust, you won't ever lose it. As a member of the Va'Skree race, he does occasionally feel the hunger for flesh and the thirst for blood, but as long as he is safe and healthy, he is able to repress those urges. For a while, at least. Ashton may seem like a decent guy, but he has his flaws. He is vain and prideful, and will always try to avoid things that mess up his appearance.

Magic/Abilities: Ashton has access to a familiar, which takes the form of a large crow. He calls it Kaeth. He uses it for reconnaissance, a companion, and a friend. While it cannot be harmed by anyone, it cannot attack, either. It pretty much just phases through anybody(except Ashton) that it touches. While Ashton has no magical abilities outside of his familiar, he does of course have the abilities granted to him by his vampiric stature. They consist of  increased strength and speed, razor-sharp teeth, increased lifespan, and most poisons are less potent when used on him.

Weaknesses: Though he may not have as many weaknesses as the old-blooded vampires, he still has plenty of them. He is not as strong or fast as a true vampire, and he lacks their poison immunity. Along with that, he is not immortal like regular vampires. Typically the lifespan of a Va'Skree vampire is around 200 years. It may be a long time, but it surely isn't immortal. He isn't completely immune to the sun. While he may not die instantly, about 10 minutes of continuous exposure will kill him, or at least very close to it. Finally, he has a small allergy to garlic.

Mardra- An old vampire, and one of the Elders. She taught Ashton about the history of his species. Relk- A middle-aged member of the Va'Skree race. Taught Ashton how to fight.

Ashton Seldvros is a vampire. To be specific, he is Va'Skree, a subspecies of vampire that is somewhat different from the average bloodsucker. Firstly, they require the flesh as well as the blood, which prevents them from turning anybody. However, unlike regular vampires, they have the ability to reproduce. They are alive, and their hearts beat with the vigor of any other living being. A prideful race, they quickly separated themselves from their undead brethren and began living anywhere they could, whether it be in a serene forest, an abandoned castle, or a slaughtered village. While they tend to stay away from larger settlements, occasionally a small hamlet will suddenly become devoid of life, not even any bones left behind. But, enough about the species, this is about Ashton. Now, where was I...ah, yes, I remember. Ashton was born into the Seldvros family, a somewhat-important family in the community he lives in. Because of that, Ashton had a lot to live up to. His mother and father nearly abandoned him after he was about a year old, as is customary for the Va'Skree race. Not to say he was left to die, no, far from it. He was left in the care of the other Va'Skree, and everyone worked together to take care of him, along with a few other children. He was taught everything he needed to know. From the elders of his race, he learned about the Va'Skree people. From the soldiers, he learned warfare. From the teachers, he learned things like reading. They all did what they could to ensure their survival. Occasionally he would even go out with the warriors and assasins and study them as they preyed upon the thing they all needed to survive: Humans. Ashton himself even had a few kills to his name. This continued on for some time, until Ashton turned sixteen. At that point, he had learned all he could from the Va'Skree that he lived with, and it was time for him to venture out of his home and into the world. Saying goodbye to everybody he knew, he packed up his few belongings and began to travel the continent.
