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. Most of his clothes are thicker than normal, or are armored.

Personality

Sage appears to be blunt or uncaring to most. Often times human adults may describe him as being apathetic or lethargic. However, he is really a caring person underneath. Though his is half vampyre, he still finds himself pitying human women or children. Men, however, appear to him as nothing more than cattle who 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 the first sword to be passed down through the Akia family, the fact having resulted in its name. Its true form is a crimson blade 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. It may appear as a six sided star-burst amulet with a red gem when worn as a necklace, but can be changed into a silver ring with red crosses running along it. This sword was given to him by his mother mere minutes before her death. Soulrender 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. It only appears as a black ring with silver skulls running along it when worn. The sword was given to him by his father, who so pitied the sight of his beaten son before him, that he gave him a means to even the odds between them. Both swords are made of a godlike material that does no wear, bend, or break.

History

Sage was born to a woman named Selina Akia, who was not much other than a local elementalist, making a living in an old human city. Sage was the first of a set of fraternal twins, his brother being born mere minutes after him. How these two were conceived was unknown to the others of the city. Selina lived alone, and forsook all men who made their attempts at courting her. These questions were answered when Sage first opened his eyes. The villagers around them gasped at the sight of his blood red eyes. The brothers were the spawn of a vampyre, and more; they were the first two half-vampyres to be born. Needless to say, Selina and her children were cast out of the city, forced to live outside of human society. At the age of seven, as Sage and his small family were living comfortable lives just outside a small village, the unimaginable happened. The village was destroyed by black fire that engulfed every building and every person as it approached their small home. Sage's mother forced his brother and him to run away, far away. With a kiss and the giving of her last treasure in the world, she sent them off as she stayed to meet her fate. Sage lived with his younger, weaker brother for many years. When they had come of age, they were fighting in wars as mercenaries. Sage with his mothers sword and the abilities he had gained from a source unknown to him, and his brother with the magics he'd inherited from their mother. It all ended when his brother was slain before him, cut apart by a man almost identical to them, wielding a scythe. Sage had just met his father, the second of the vampyre originals, Inferno Date. The infamous Angel of Death was his father. Sage tried desperately to avenge his brother, but was defeated by the man in mere seconds. Inferno left him there, dying on the battlefield, from the wounds he had inflicted upon him, as he explained to him who he was and how he killed their mother. Inferno left Sage with a sword, telling him that he only had a hope to kill him with the weapon, and disappeared in a gust of wind and black feathers. It has been millenia since that day. and Sage is still haunted by the memory. He lives among humans, waiting for the next time he should meet his father, so that he
