Hyaskus

Have you see the OVA or read the manga series of Hellsing? If so how far have you gotten? If not please direct your attention to YouTube, and watch OVA 1-4 at least. I read Volumes 1-3 and 10 and I saw all the OVA's.




Name: Hyaskus


 Age: 135 (Looks mid-late 20's) 

Gender: Male

Physical appearance: Standing at an impressive 6'5, Hyaskus is relatively free from scars save for his chest which his covered in severe scars. His nose is small and fairly normal, his eyes are not the norm of vampires, save for cases of extreme emotion (Fear, anger, sadness, etc.) but are usually a lightish orange. His hair is a Dirty Blonde. His skin is, of course, pale due to lack of sun exposure.

Clothing of choice: Hyaskus, thinking he is above the human sheep, wears a pristine black vest and an equally clean white, satin shirt, that has a fairly obvious collar. His neck is adorned with a gold pendant that has a purple gem in the center. He would never tell anyone but this is a personal keepsake from his Human life and his family's heirloom.   His shoes are leather and rather plain as are his black pants.

Weaponry of choice: Not usually an unarmed fighter, Hyaskus often relies on the Smooth edged Sabre that hangs from his belt the handle having a small pendant on the end of it ,an upside down cross as it were and the blade was designed to drain the blood from his enemies with a indent running up the blade on each side in a shallow valley shape (Not absorb but just makes one bleed out faster) . He retrieved this from a decaying grave-robber he found in a crypt  ( http://jodysamson.com/images/swords/7-19-06/jodys-ring-sabre.jpg)  , but since he is a strong believer of Adapt or Die, he always carries a Colt Peacemaker with 24 .45 rounds,12 .45 hollow point rounds and 4 speed loaders as well.
 

Race: Category D Vampire.

Abilities: A bit above the standard, run of the mill Vampire, Hyaskus has moderate enhanced strength, speed and reflexes. He cannot cross running water, can survive silver and blessings but only in small doses, and can survive in sunlight with the only consequence is him becoming ill.  A tactician by frequenting chess matches and reading many books about military accomplishments his favorite being the exploits of Trấn Hưng Đạo`,, Hyaskus always tries to use any possible advantage if given the opportunity. He will always try to gain the high ground, always lurk within the shadows, and unless he has a particularly clever plan, will not charge a particularly large group of people by himself. Back when among the living, Hyaskus read a lot about human anatomy and knows always where to strike, and also how to put up a decent fight against a trained opponent.In battle he uses his agility to the fullest making leap and bounds around his opponents or simply rushing at them, then retreating back into the shadows to slowly wear his non human combatants down.On a non-combative note, he usually passes the time when not eating, fighting, or reading by writing and thinking of horrible jokes. If one were to befriend him, he can honestly get quite irritating by spouting seemingly useless factoids For example, "Were you aware that both Hitler and Napoleon only had one testicle each? It truly would explain the need to conquer most of the world, would it not?" He also tends to make awful puns.

Organization: None (Subject to change as the RP advances)

Personality:  Intelligent, cool, tactical, and determined, Hyaskus sees his Vampirism as a gift to learn as much as possible.  While in the beginning he held life with a passion and would only feed from the despicable, he eventually started to see humans as beneath him intelligence, mortality, and their way of life. As such he utilizes his goals to further accomplish his goals, which to be honest, could be something as menial as fetching a book from somewhere not too far. In times of stress his personality shifts to brash, hot headed, and stubborn, truly showing his decaying morality. One failing of this Vampire, however, is his arrogance. He often underestimates his opponents, this could lead to his defeat should he get too cocky.
 
Rank: None.

Biography :In life, Hyaskus lived in Iceland during what is now called the Victorian era. As far back as he could remember, Hyaskus was fascinated with books, and the obtainment of knowledge. Unfortunately he was a poor farm boy and he could not afford the books he so desired. This usually caused him to either steal books as ealry as when he was Eleven, or get a job during the harsh winters where nothing could grow. One night, his family found out about his thieving ways and burned all of his books. That was the last night he ever saw his parents, as he ran away that night with nothing but the clothes on his back and some bread, although, he vowed to make an honest living for himself and not end up being a lowly farmer like his father. Then, when Hyaskus was already into his manhood at the ripe age of Twenty-Seven, working as a librarian of sorts, he heard news of Vampires in the country. Curious, the man traveled to the town to learn more of the mysterious beings. Unfortunately for him, he got his wish. He was, indeed, attacked by a Vampiress. Luckily, a coupling of Hyaskus feigning death, and a large commotion nearby caused her too flee. Hyaskus was now a member of the Undead. Since then he went from country to country, satiating his hunger, and immersing himself in books, as he certainly had the time for it now.   He survived this long by only feeding out of necessity, and even then only the scum of the earth, as if putting down the diseased to save the rest of the herd. This is because even though he sees Humans as nothing as animals, he sees potential in such animals as one hopes to teach a gorilla sign language. He still belittles them, of course, but he does not go on random killing sprees, thus flying under the radar of both Hellsing and Iscariot.

RP Sample: Hyaskus was outraged: This insignificant human policeman was actually able to wound him! Working through the pain of the many bullets within his abdomen, The Vampire charged, his sword drawn, forgetting about the revolver in his holster in his arrogance, and lunged at the man, his sword to pierce his heart. The poor policeman, unable to comprehend his vampiric speed, merely stood there. Both were quite surprised when Hyaskus' direction was changed, and now the vampire was now on the ground, holding his side for a few moments. Hyaskus looked up and saw another human, this one with a shotgun. It was then Hyaskus remembered his own weapon and drew his loaded revolver. Aiming for the newcomer's heart, Hyaskus pulled the trigger and chuckled to himself as everything behind the Shotgun wielder was being showered in blood, the hollow point bullets making quite the exit wound. The police officer simply ran. Hyaskus would've chased after him, but it was nearly dawn and a fresh meal was right over there, bleeding out...

Social Sample: *Hyaskus entered the 24 hour bookstore, the moon overhead. As he entered, the female cashier looked at him with a cheery expression, "Hello sir! How can I help you?" The Vampire looked at her with disdain, "Just point me to your Personal Computers." Hyaskus said, obviously not used to the modern lingo such as how everyone either just says Computer, or PC. Not skipping a beat, the girl guided him to the computer where he sat down, "Is there anything else?" She said, again cheery. "Leave me be. I do not wish to spend any more time here than I have to." He said, obviously annoyed. Once the cashier left, Hyaskus looked up several articles on the computer, but the one really catching his eye was the update of the Crater Formally Known as London...

Clothing needs description.

Describe the sword to me. We could have vastly different ideas of what a "plain looking short-sword" is. Give me some stats on this gun, too. That goes a long way when you get into really detailed roleplaying; a slightly more powerful gun could make the difference between killing someone and having them shrug off the damage completely. It's also nice to know how many extra bullets you're carrying.

Need a category for that race.

Copy your category's skills into your abilities section. You can do more than just that, though; what's he do outside of battle? What are his skills in battle? Can he tap dance? Does he have a beautiful singing voice? Can he do a back flip?

Some of that fighting prowess thing should go in abilities. It is pretty neat to see a vampire who's actually fallen into the superiority complex, though.

There is a lot left of that history to cover. What is he, like, 17 at the time of being turned? That's over a hundred years left of life to tell us about.

That sample was neither a battle or social post. All you did was break a defenseless man's spine; hardly a fight. You also need to talk to someone else, not just yourself.

Honestly, I am having trouble thinking up a good enough RP sample but I expanded the abilities and added more about the weapons, as well as the history to an extended degree. I promise to have all the kinks out soon.

You could do practice roleplays with people in the Limbo boards. Link them under the sample part and they work.

Are you done with Wyatt, by the way?

Yes, yes I am. I realize that there is no feasible way for that character to work.

There we go. New RP sample, and it may not be my best work as I am still getting used to the character but it should serve the purpose...

Clothing still needs description.

Gun doesn't have any detail. I know it's a revolver, but there's hundreds of different types of revolvers. Don't know the bullet caliber or how many it can load.

Biography still leaves a lot to be desired. I'm meant to believe that this vampire survived for over 100 years without anyone taking him out. Why is this? What's made him able to survive this long?

Still no social post.

Fair enough, I will get right on that, but the clothing will be more of a challenge, thank you for being so patient with me.

Clothing and guns are edited. I decided to change his appearance as it did not fit his personality. I feel the new appearance does though. All that is lefts is the social post and the explanation on how I survived.

Not really a big deal but i'd think that if he were a strong believer of Adapt or Die he'd be packing a more modern weapon. The Single Action Army is a nice gun but it was meant for fighting opponents who had slow fire rates just like the shooter. Whereas now in modern times most of your opponents will have you completely outgunned. Of course it's not really to important I just thought I'd toss in that opinion. 

Otherwise just go into depth with your BIO and I'd also like to know how he became a tactician. All it says was that he read books did he read Sun Tzu's Art of War quite a bit? Read up on military history perhaps? Or maybe he was just good at chess it's always good to have a reason for a trait instead of just having it.

Fair enough. I will mull the options over before elaborating on that. Thank you.

I honestly think I have everything fixed here, I dotted my T's crossed my I's and if there is nothing else that is critically in danger I think I am ready for votes.

Need to describe that sword. Pictures don't cut it.

That's it, though.

Got it. Thank you.

Voila the Sword is described.

Tran Hung Dao...niceeee

Anyways
