CHARACTER INFO
Character name: Arturo
Nicknames: None
Character age: 789
Birthdate: May 1
Gender: Male
Bloodline: The Queen of Nightmares, controller of dreams
Level: Master
Strengths: Arturo has the ability to shape dreams, pulling them down in the human’s conciousness and getting them to believe it as truth. In his presence, he can see a person’s previous dream and create the illusion of being surrounded in the dream itself or into one of his own making. Arturo's animals to call are tigers, leopards, and lions. He also has the typical vampire powers that allow him to mesmorize humans with his eyes, which is defined as rolling. His voice and mind hold no sway though. Arturo can only 'deep roll' a person if he has created a strong enough illusions, though this takes a lot of engery and he has to have his human servant near him to regain energy or keep the illusion going.
Weaknesses: Arturo’s weakness is underestimating his opponents. He is devilish clever, but it isn’t enough to be clever and still not understand your opponent. Arturo is very pompous and does not put up with lesser beings.
Weapons carried on person: There is nothing carried on his person, for he fears none.

Physical description: Arturo’s style is very sophisticated. He has lived a long time and though he was brought up in a world of robes and togas, he has taken to the classical modern style of dress. He has met many a vampire that thought him odd for dressing in the century, but he wishes to stick with the times. Blodeuedd, his human servant, and Arturo have spent a long time in Russia and have dressed like royalty for too long. His fashion comes from the places he has resided for the longest amount of time.

Arturo has no identifiable features, and he blends in with society normally. His appearance is always neat and clean, that of the rich and wealthy. Scars do not glitter his body because he did not fight when he was human. His sire made him because he was beautiful to her.

Likes: He enjoys balls, opera, and the orchestra. He often travels across Europe because Blodeuedd enjoys seeing earth rituals from different areas.
Dislikes: Anyone he stands in his way, vampires that are too humane, and wolf lycans.
Fears: That someone will take away everything he has built.
Nervous habits: When Arturo is nervous he tends to sit still and not say anything for a long while.

Personality description: Arturo does what he has to do, with out a conscious or care. He has suffered so much in his life and now has to try and keep everything that he has built to survive. He is the Master of Dublin, in Ireland. He has fought his way to the top for many years. His animal to call is lion, leopard, and tiger. There are not many in Ireland, but that is his power. Arturo does not let things bother him on the outside, but he does find many things annoying. He does not like wolves; many speculate that it has something to do about a past he cannot remember. Arturo’s sire Cerdwin’s animal to call is wolf and that holds some of his disinterest in the animal.

Take me home to meet mom and dad:
Parents: Cerdwin, his sire.
Siblings: Other vampires of his race.
Children: He has sired very few people.

History: Arturo does not know much about his life as a child since it was so long ago, but he does remember the night he was sired. It had been two nights, Cerdwin was his sire and she had fallen in love with him. It was Beltane and he had been dancing with a few girls that were at the festival. She had made herself very visible to him and he couldn’t help but feel a burning passion for her. She made everything seem like a dream around him, bringing him into the place of fairies, gods, and goddesses. It was his dream to be able to walk with them and talk and this woman knew the secret. He believed everything she told him and allowed her to do ‘magik’ on him. The ‘magik’ she spoke of was not what he had thought. It had blood, desire, lust, pain, misery, and dreams intertwined it. Nothing felt so beautiful and so wrong at the same time. He knew that she had to be special.

Arturo lay on the ground with her, after hours and hours of love making she told him that she could let him stay here forever and of course, being bewitched by her, Arturo begged her to keep him. Cerdwin kept him, turning him on the last day of Beltane and from then on his life had been that of a dream and nightmare. Never to know the once human life he had lived; instead, he was forced into an illusion of endless dreams. The only thing that broke him from his mourning spirit was Blodeuedd, whom he chose as his human servant. She was one of the most beautiful creatures he had ever seen, but the girl was forced to marry an older man, being promised to him. The truth was that Blodeuedd had been made from flowers and blossoms for that very purpose. He couldn’t stand for the pain that the girl suffered so he turned the man’s thoughts into that of a nightmare and took her away with him. She was immediately besotted with him and he with her, but for a long time he did not touch her. Until he was sure that she loved him for him, not for his magical powers.

Most of his life Arturo was fighting to get to the top. He lived in many places and was very popular in Russia for a time. Though he struggled at times, he finally became the Master of Dublin and with that he secured his seat. It has been a long time since he left his house and though humans do not know of him, Arturo is well known among all the vampires and lycans in his city. He learned that he could control people with his power and used that to keep his place. Arturo answers to the council and does their bidding as well, but for the most part he has kept to himself and ruled his country with an iron fist. Blodeuedd is forever by his side and he does not leave without her. She is always within touching distance, unless of course he goes over to another country. It is a great treat to share a human servant with another Master, but one that is not done lightly. Blodeuedd understand her place.

Growing restless in Ireland, he has decided to pay a visit to Miami. Darla and him have communicated over letters and messengers, granting entrance into her fair city. Arturo is taking a small entourage with him, and preparing to meet the mistress of the American city. He does not know what awaits him in that fair town, but has planned to be as diplomatic as possible.

The reason, though unknown to everyone on the board, for his visit is simple really. Arturo wants Orland, he has left Ireland for now in the hands of his second, Tyrell. He trusts him and is hoping to give him Dublin if he can have Orlando. It is a huge risk, leaving his city, but he feels confident enough that he can take Orlando. He jus tneeds allies. He is willing to make deals with people, if he can trust them. He only helps whoever helps him first. He has heard the rurmos that Gerard may way Miami for himself or there is at least tension between him and the Master. He is willing to offer his assitance if he can get help with taking over Orlando.


Writing Sample:
CODE
“You will do as you’re told or I will deal with you properly.”  He had been a fool to think that Brandon would obey him.  The other vampire was too open about his abilities and now they would all pay for it.  He had taken the King’s daughter and though she was indeed beautiful, there would be a war that would end all wars.  The streets were crowded with people, passing here and there.  Night sat on the willow branches of an old tree and all Arturo could do was look out the window and sigh.  Dawn would come and they would all be killed because Brandon had needed someone to have and to hold.  

Humans were easy things that came and went with the tide.  Turning to point at him, he ordered him, no demanded him to bring her back to the castle.  “They know she is here, and they will kill us all because you did not think.  She doesn’t love you.  You only bespelled her through a dream and now we will all die because you are too blind to understand that.  Love isn’t witchcraft, it is pure and untainted.  Would you taint the woman you claim to love?  Could you look into that girl’s eyes every day and pretend that you did not bewitch her.”  With a feral growl, Arturo moved over to him and grabbed his throat.  “You are not worth more to me than my own life.  We have lived this long in the city and you have thrown it away.  Put her back or I will and it will be without a pulse.”  

He felt the blood on his hand and immediately threw him against the wall.  Brandon was dazed, but got up very slowly any way.  “What about you and your precious Blodeuedd?  Have you told her what you did to her?  What you took her away from?”  Arturo’s rage crept up along his spine.  He stood perfectly still, afraid of what he would do next.  Far away, he saw the King raising an army and he knew then that Brandon would never give her up.  In a flash of lightening they fought to the death, Arturo victorious.  Brandon was dismantled and the girl was brought to him.  He slaughtered her and then took the rest of his people away to Russia, never to step foot in Paris again.  Myths have been made into legend and only Arturo knows the real secret.  Nothing stays a secret forever though and one day a light will shine on the gruesome past he has tried so desperately to cover up.


And the rest:
Anything else? Nothing for now.
