i'm the hand that'll bring you down, bring you to your knees.
likes: Blood, reading, his sister, cooking (though he doesn't eat overly much), horse back riding.
dislikes: Things that could kill him, being immortal, being a vampire.
personality:Dorian is a strange vampire, which probably comes from the fact that he's lived for so long and strangely enough his personality is not much different then when he was human. Soft spoken, hard working, thoughtful and observant. He is very much the antithesis of his sister Aria.
Dorian attends to avoid conflict when ever possible, even when it comes to feeding. Unlike some of his vampire kin, Dorian relies more on animal blood then on human. His choice in this has more to do with his convictions then his lack of blood lust, and after 528 years he's learned a great deal of control. But sadly Dorian has been known to slip and take 1 or 2 human lives despite his attempt at redemption. When this occurs he becomes hopelessly despondent and uncommunicative to everyone around him.
On rare occasions he may make you laugh though he's more accustomed to annoying people. He's most often described as, self assured, stubborn, exasperating, sarcastic and aloof. Dorian tends to drink and because of this he can be rude and not very much like his usual self either. He often carries around two objects, one of which is a bad habit the other an old one; tooth pick for the former and a rosary missing a crucifix as the latter.
strengths: Physical strength, observation, he's very handy with a blade and decent with a bow.
weaknesses: The fact that he detests his condition as a vampire often leads him to compromising situations.
fears: Having to live as an animal, being killed without being given redemption.
secrets: He's looking for a “cure†for vampirism.
aspiration: Continue living with a hope of redemption.S O W H O A R E Y O U ? Y E A H , W H O A R E Y O U ?

yeah, who are you? yeah, who are you?
history:Dorian, or Alex as he goes by in his most recent incarnation, would likely be considered an abomination to some of his vampire kin. As a young man he was the quiet sort but always hard working. Since the age of six he was helping full time with the family farm, the only day he ever took of was Sundays. Sundays were Dorian's favourite day of the week which started with early morning prayer just an hour after sunrise then lessons for reading and writing in the afternoon followed with scripture studies till dinner. For Dorian this was the only day during the week he would smile, he would just simply beam all day. Dorian loved God with all his soul and when he had the misfortune of meeting the demon named Lazarus, it was this fact that likely marked him as interest for the Vampire Lord.
When Lazarus came to the farm that day, Dorian knew that he would be a bearer of bad news. And when Lazarus returned with interests in Aria, Dorian demanded his parents deny him any. But his mother wanted her daughter to have a good life and ignored her son. A little more then a week later Lazarus walked away with Aria and, unbeknownst to the family, locked her in his dungeon. When she didn't return Dorian and his parents sought out Lazarus for answers. The three were invited into the home with thoughts of a fearful Lord wishing to help them, but what they got was a Vampire looking to feed and have some fun. Without much effort he subdued Dorian and his mother before Lazarus turned on the father, biting him outright and sucking him dry. Then he turned his attention on Dorian.
Lazarus inflicted every sort of torture he could on Dorian; physical, mental, emotion and even sexual. The Vampire showed Dorian ever dark recess of the sadist's mind and fractured the once god loving soul of the young man. Dorian couldn't understand why god would allow a creature such as this and that it must be proof that it is not god but the devil that was at work on earth. So when Lazarus offered the chance to be a vampire the destroyed state of Dorian lost any hold on reality and he begged for a release.
Angered with the world and what was at work, Dorian took to blood lust with ease, as though drinking blood would some how assuage the emptiness left by his departing soul. It was why it had been so easy for him to drink the blood of his dear mother and then torture his favourite sister.
When it came to Aria though the sad truth was that though they had never really been close as siblings, Dorian had always pined for her in a way that was not very brotherly. So when it came time to turn his sister, that part of him that remembered his human desires cued into that demon part of him that now existed in its place. He had very little issue torturing his sister and he can even still remember how much he enjoyed the act of listening to her scream in terror. But the day he watched her become a vampire, well perhaps he still had some part of his soul left in him because he suddenly felt guilty. When Aria killed Lazarus Dorian quickly formulated a plan and spoke to his sister about it. She agreed and it has just been then ever since.
Dorian, who's been going by this alias since soon after he was turned, spent a great deal of time trying to understand the change he went through. While Aria was also dealing with her blood lust, Dorian had his own but greatly feared death by being found out. He took Aria under his full discretion and began his path back to god. This meant a great deal of work on his part but Dorian looked at it the way he looked at his life; six days a week he toiled, one day a week he repent. It was as if he went back to his life before he became a Vampire.
For the many years to come Dorian has been the backbone to the duo and on several occasions been the protector and safe keeper. He withstands the day to day grind of their situation with a manner of sobriety and fortitude that only a practised man such as himself can do. To a certain degree he's enjoyed the chance to travel and see the world despite the danger involved. He's also always enjoyed the fact that it has been just he and his sister. But over the years Aria's become exceedingly unpredictable even to the one person that knows her best. Because of this he's probably pulled back from her more then he would like but after five centuries, well that amount of time could wear on anyone. It was Aria that came up with the idea to come to the Americas but Dorian isn't exactly unhappy with the decision. He hopes that in his quest he'll reach a point where he understands his own mortality and perhaps gain some sort of redemption.K E E P Y O U I N T H E D A R K

you know they all pretend.
experience: Six years; run my own site.
rp sample:She exited stately like the Princess she was, you could see it engrained in every part of her, like a doll sculpted to perfection. She was careful and calm, forcing herself to be something other then the stories I had heard about her.
I watched, keeping my distance a few paces back, but kept an eye on both Coretta and those around us, those that may want to do her harm, or at least try to steal. I watched as she talked with those around her, giving them coin and smiling as she did. When a little girl came up to us I watched as she went down to the little girl's level and gave up the hair comb so expertly placed into her hair.
I had to conceed once more, it took guts to come here, to put herself out here like this. Again the thought that I may have underestimated her came to mind and as she began to walk forward I took up my stride fo follow her, but this time I came to walk at her side instead of behind her.
"That was quite magnanimous of you your Highness," I said softly though I didn't look at her. I may have been talking to her but I kept my eye out for suspcisious behaviour.
"And you look comfortable doing it. You must come out here often." I glanced to her then, a quirked brow in her direction.
"How often do you do this?" I wasn't sure she had ever done it, she seemed like she could pull off a good act. As though her so called 'good' deeds were merely an elaborate act to fool those around her.
secret phrase: You get what you give.
