Description

Sage is roughly six feet, five inches tall with a rather pale complexion and hair as black as the night sky. His eyes are blood red, and often have slit pupils instead of those of a human. He has a decently muscular physique, though he is rather lean, the majority of his muscles not fully showing. There are no scars on Sage's body, however he does have a tattoo on his right shoulder. It is of a spread wing raven with crossed swords behind it. His appearance does not betray his age. No, he only appears as a normal twenty year old male would. However, his eyes tell a tale of one who has lived longer than any mortal could imagine. He can usually be seen wearing clothes that the current humans would call "goth"; A black t-shirt with a white skull in the middle, black jeans, black armored boots, half finger gloves, one black skull ring, one silver cross ring, and a black tripp coat. On other occasions he wears black dress clothes and a red tie, covered with a long, black coat made of military uniform cloth. Most of his clothes are thicker than normal, or are armored.

Personality

Sage appears to be blunt or uncaring to most. Often time’s human adults may describe him as being apathetic or lethargic. However, he is really a caring person underneath. Though he is a half vampyre, he still finds himself pitying human women or children. Men, however, appear to him as nothing more than cattle that he can kill at any given moment.

Equipment

Among Sage's personal effects are Genesis and SoulRender. Two swords gifted to him by his parents. Genesis is an elemental blade given to him by his mother before her death. It appears as a crimson bladed long sword with a rapier style hilt, accented with a cross shaped guard. A ruby is set in the pommel, and silver runes run along the edges of the blade. Its sheathe is made of a red steel that has been laid with wards to make it resistant to fire. Ruby stars decorate the length of the sheathe.
Soul Render is a sword that would make even the devil run in fear. It absorbs the life force, energy, or essence of whatever it cuts. There is always a cold mist running along the edges of the blade, as the endlessly hungry sword absorbs the heat from the air around it. It appears as a sword with a long, black blade with silver runes running along the center. The hilt is made of pure silver, the guard being of an outcropping spiked shape, and the pommel having an obsidian gem set in it. Its sheathe is made of a black metal akin to that of the blade. Silver skulls decorate the length of the sheathe. The origins of this blade are unknown, yet it radiates a dark aura like that of a demon.
On occasion he uses a pair of modified Colt.45 pistols that he has named "Misery and Regret"

History

History: Sage appears to most as an uncaring man who wanders about carelessly from city to city, with no home to call his own. What humanity sees in him is little. To them he is nothing other than a regular person, to be counted among the billions of them, never to stand above, forever sinking lower with the rest of them. However, in reality, he is the only member of a species born of humanity and a creature far more powerful than they can comprehend. Sage is the one and only true half-vampyre. The first of two, the only one to remain. He’s been around for more than a millennia, working behind the scenes, changing the courses of history, laying the way for the humans who despise him, the race that has wronged him many times over and has earned his hatred. Sage took his place among the Sovereigns when Eclipse was created and has acted as its chief Enforcer for well over seventy years. He can sometimes be seen as the sole reason that the city has retained its order, but he thinks differently. His job is to kill those who step out of line. He thinks of himself as nothing more than a glorified assassin.
Abilities/Skills: Sage's abilities far surpass those of normal vampyres, but pale in comparison to those of the last two Originals. His powers are best seen as physical manifestations of darkness that are usually seen as black flames and lightning. Any other abilities he holds are unknown, as none have lived to tell the tale. Among his list of skills are the usual elder vampyre traits; advanced enhanced strength, advanced regeneration, hypnotism, appeal to the female of any humanoid species, ability to change into smoke form. However, he also has the traits of the Originals, something that none but two others may lay claim to. He has a mastery of swordsmanship and marksmanship and often puts them to use. He has many other skills, but most are best used behind closed doors.
