Category: Vampire
Sub-Category: Gold Eyes
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Family: All Deceased
Character History:
Marius was born in France at the begining of the French Revolution (1789). It was a hard time to be brought up in, Paris wasnt a safe place to raise a child and so his family moved to a small village just outside. He barely remembers the war, he was 10 when it was all over and after so many years he forgot most of the terrible things he saw as a child, but not all.
His family were not of high birth and the revolution brought about much change in their lives, Marius had grown up strong and healthy and was determind to make a difference for his family. He worked hard doing any jobs he could to bring in money for his parents, he loved his family and he thought nothing would ever take them away from him. He was wrong.
One night their small village was attacked in the night, a slaughter unlike any had ever seen since even the revolution. A group of fledgling vampires tore through the village looking for blood , and they found plenty of it. Marius watched as his family were torn apart infront of him, he fought as hard as he could against them but he was over powered and that was the night he was turned.
After his change Marius found himself disgusted at what he had become, he thought himself no better than the murderous soldiers in the revolution and it made him sick to the core. He hid deep in the Ardenne forests keeping away from humans, after starving himself he became so desperate for blood that he attacked a wild boar and drained it. The blood kurbed his hunger and he realised that he didnt have to murder people to survive like the newborns that killed his family.
It took many years for him to calm his hunger and as he felt the old Marius coming back he returned himself to human company, with the reassuring guidance of a stranger he met named Carlisle he stayed strong. He travelled Europe and England and eventually made his way to the new world. As the years passed he honed his control and his knowledge, feeding only from animals he attended university after university, gaining as much knowledge as he could.
His travels across the states then brought him to Seattle, and a place called Forks. He had heard many things about this place, and the family that resided there and he was intruged to meet more of his kind.

Personality:
Marius grew up in a time that many people see only in films and on stage. Although he has moved with the times he didnt let his manners leave him, he is a total gentleman through and through, but because of this he comes across as old fashioned. He is Charismatic and Handsome as Vampires are, but he has an air of Finesse about him. He is softly spoken but that doesnt mean hes all roses.
He has always been a bad loser, he cannot accept defeat and has grown up fighting against all odds to the bitter end. This can make him oddly stubborn, as he doesnt give in easily as he sees this as defeat. He is neat and tidy, a perfectionist in everything he does, he wants everything to be just right and can get nervous when something isnt quite right.
Because of his rebirth he doesnt feel comfortable with his own kind, especially newborns. He finds himself unusually nervous when meeting them and so at first avoided them. Now as he comes into contact with them more reguarly he finds he gets tense around them, and it can take a long time for him to relax.
Marius is a romantic to heart, he has had his flings, but never let himself get too attached or tempted by female company. He has broken many hearts, but as much as it pained him, he would rather break their hearts than their necks.
RP sample:
Marius ran his finger down the spine of the book that lay in his lap. It was a think leather bound book, perhaps a journal? He always took this book with him, it helped him remember the finer details of his many years. He looked out of the window of the plane, he could see the lights down below of Seattle, it wasnt long now until he would be on the ground again. It had taken him a long time to trust planes, if his family ha heard about things that carried people in the sky... They would never have believed.
The captain announced for everyone to return to their seats and buckle their belts for the landing, Marius was greatful for this, after all he believed that his feet should stay on the ground where nature intended, but sometimes the planes were just too convinient. He closed the window and folded up the tray and decided to add a stretch in for good measure, perhaps a yawn too. He slipped the book into his case and tapped lightly on his knee.
The girl next to him had been teasing him with wafts of her scent every time she flicked her fringe from her face, he could feel the burn in his throat but he was familiar with it, he had 200 years of practice to stand by. He cleared his throat and for a brief moment her eye met his soft golden gaze and she blussed turning away from him. He smiled a little, he was used to that reaction, after all he knew that the change had changed more than just his soul.
He was more than relieved when the plane finally landed, he gathered his things and made his way through the crowds, he was heading for a small town named forks and he wondered if he would meet any old aquaintences there.
