"Come lie down with me, love, I'll help you forget that anything else exists. . ."
Full Name:
Xanthos Nathaniel Griffiths
Nickname:
Since the age of about two thousand Xanthos began going by his middle name, Nathaniel. He found it a lot simpler to go by instead of his Greek first name Xanthos. He doesn't like nicknames of any sort. They get beneath his skin and irk him to no end. However, unless told otherwise, he expects everyone, except his dear friend, to call him Prince Nathaniel.
Gender:
Male
Age:
"My real age? Oh dear, a very touchy subject..." In all honesty Nathaniel is 7, 659 years old. Looks however? He seems to be around the age of twenty-four or twenty-three.
Appearance in Description:
Being a vampire and immortal, Nathaniel has ungodly, devilishly good looks that can bring a woman to her knees. Even before becoming a vampire he was a fairly attractive man, and this he knew and now knows all too well. You'll always find him walking at his full height of 6'1", stride confident and sure. If his towering height doesn't intimidate you, maybe his stature will. Nathaniel has broad, rounded shoulders that lead down to long arms that are thick with nicely corded muscle. His arms lead upward to a defined neck then down to a wide expansion of chest; looking as if he was chiseled from stone. He's a rather big health nut, and keeps himself in shape at all costs. Even immortals must keep themselves in shape here and there, though he will never age, grant you.
Nathaniel has sharply defined facial features, to his disliking at times. His nose is rather large, but not to where it takes up his whole face, and slightly pointed. His lips are full and very light pink. He has a tendency to lick his bottom lip, which catches most females eye. Women themselves comment on his lips, saying that they "look so kissable," and most women he has kissed are never short to gush about how good a kisser he is. His jawline, like his shoulders, is broad to a certain extent, prominent. That jawline of his, on his lazy days, is covered in a light five o'clock shadow. And on the weeks he's lazy when it comes to shaving, he even has the makings of a beard; he's able to grow facial hair rather quickly, a vampiric trait. His eyes when he was human so many years ago were a warm chocolate brown color. Now, however, those eyes are the color of melting, liquid silver. It seems that as you gaze into them they swirl and captivate you, holding a certain warmth that is almost comical. Because, you see, the Vampire Prince radiates anything but warmth. His eyes seem to be able to bore right through you to your soul, like he sees everything, your deepest, darkest secrets. . .Your past, leaving you exposed. Below those breathing-taking eyes, on his lips, he wears his signature, wickedly charming grin of a predator that sends girls raging with longing and lust.
As for hair, it's really hard to say. Basically, it is a extreme dirty blonde, in some light. When he was younger it was sandy blonde, but now having been frozen in his early twenties, older it's getting much darker. In some light it looks dirty blonde, others a light brown; when it's wet it looks dark chocolate in color, almost black. Keeping his well-to-do, princely image, Nathaniel likes styling said hair in a couple different ways. One is where he runs a cream he made himself through his hair, keeping it kempt, spiked towards the front and around the crown which is odd for his day in time. Another, most commonly seen, is where he simply lets it dry, running a comb through it. It leaves his hair curled around the ends. An effortless look that all-in-all he can work with ease, another good thing of being a vampire. For attire, Nathaniel is a prince, after all. Special made, tailored suits when in public, amongst his people. However, when residing in his castle with his dear friend, he goes more casual. A pair of simple slacks and a button down suites him fine. On his right ring finger he wears an old ring with his families crest on it. He's had it for centuries.
Personality:
self·ish/ˈselfiSH/
Adjective:
(of a person, action, or motive) Lacking consideration for others; concerned chiefly with one's own personal profit or pleasure.
You don't live 7, 659 years without going through much change mentally, to say the least. When Xanthos was a human, completely mortal, mundane, he was much, much different. You could say. . .He cared. Anyone you spoke to about Xanthos Griffiths would describe him as being honest, hard-working and all together a good person. He done things selflessly for the well-being of others; a giver and certainly not a taker. But when you lose a wife and die only to be reborn into a life of immortality, it-. . .It changes you. Becoming a vampire changed things in turn for worst in Nathaniel's instance. He became hard, a truly selfish being. And he still is. In all honesty he only cares for himself and absolute power. He does not care who he has to step on or "kill," if you will, to get what he wants. He's competitive and even though he's lived for centuries, is still a man. When he sees something he desires he will not stop until he gets it. Being a vampire has only boosted his confidence. He feels no one is better than him, no one can beat him.
He his cocky and blunt. If he has a problem with you, he will clearly state. Centuries ago Nathaniel did not have a filter upon his mouth. He would say things carelessly, and it tended to get him in trouble. However, with age comes wisdom, and he has much age behind him. He has a clever tongue, able to smooth-talk his way out of practically any situation. One look into his swirling silver eyes has the mere mortal mesmerized. Behind having the tongue of the devil, Xanthos is also a physical person. Meaning to persuade more than half the time Nathaniel uses physical contact as a resort. He likes to touch. Call it a predator or vampire trait, he seems to have better luck doing so. You see, he carries around a mysterious air that draws women to him like a moth to a flame. Though he adores the fact he can make mortals do his bidding, that mundane women lust after him endlessly, it would be a lie to say he doesn't like a good chase. He is in fact a womanizer. Nathaniel is actually looking forward to the day he comes face to face with his blood bond. Not only will it mean more power, it will also mean a challenge. Ever since the age of three thousand Xanthos Nathaniel has never really lusted over a woman nor her blood; he does not plan on starting once again.
Behind being conceded and an absolute asshole, there is small good parts of Nathaniel. He is constant. His personality hardly ever waverers anymore. You will not find him one day being friendly, and the next a complete shrewd. He is how he is now. Strong, determined and actually a good listener if he ever takes to seat, and have a decent conversation with you; he use to be excellent at giving advice. Nowadays he rarely converses with humans, looking at them only as play-things. Beneath his thick, rocky outer-layer is a fairly good person. Nathaniel keeps people at arms-length, though, refusing to ever let anyone in, especially a woman. The closest he got was Edelia, and you see the trouble that got him into? Power-lust took over and all was lost. Some would say Xanthos is a lost-cause, but the question is is there a woman out there strong-willed enough to see past his princely, vampiric facade? Or is there really nothing more to the wicked, Vampire Prince?

Theme Song:
by One Republic
Six on the second hand till new year's revolutions
There's just no question what this man should do
Take all the time lost, all the days that I cost
Take what I took and give it back to you
All this time we were waiting for each other
All this time I was waiting for you
We got all these words, can't waste them on another
So I'm straight in a straight line running back to you
I don't know what day it is, I had to check the paper
I don't know the city but it isn't home
You say I'm lucky to love something that loves me
But I don't as I could be wherever I roam
All this time we were waiting for each other
All this time I was waiting for you
Got all these words, can't waste them on another
So I'm straight in a straight line running back to you, yeah
Oh, running back to you
Oh, running back to you
Yeah
Oh, I would travel so far
I would travel so far
To get back where you are
All this time we were waiting for each other
All this time I was waiting for you
Got all this love, can't waste it on another
So I'm straight in a straight line running back to you
Straight in a straight line running back to you
Straight in a straight line running back to you
Straight in a straight line running back to you
