a picture someone drew of him

Below the picture; Cedric is a very handsome young man, he appears to be about 18 years old but he is really much older then that. Many people have commented on his eyes, they are an odd color, almost a stone gray, almost like his eyes were made out of stone, a contrast to his jet black hair. He is a tall man, almost intimidatingly so, at the height of 6'5 he towers above most people. Which makes it almost funny how delicate he looks, he weighs only 130 pounds, aside from the fact that there is a rumor that he has beaten up a few people and sent them to the hospital. The rumors seem to be supported by the fact that he has a scar from a knife along his arm and side. And then there are the mysterious wounds along the pale flesh of his pack, almost like whip marks.

Personality

To say Cedric is rude is a bit unfair to him, he has lived longer then most and has watched some of his dear friend and family member grow old and die before his very eyes. So he honestly has little patience for people. So he finds it odd that he has fans that enjoy listening to him sing and play the guitar in his little bands, fans that seem to like him despite his poor temper. He can be a gentlemen when he needs to be. It is actually rare to see him happy, but when he is, well it is amazing because he is kind to almost everyone, even the people that he hates, and he sings even when he is not onstage. One the other hand when he is angry, he nasty to pretty much everyone even his bandmates who he cares about, though he would deny it. Like most people Cedric does get sad, and when he is very very sad he holes up in his house and does not come out for days. He is naturally snarky and cold, bordering on the insensitive. His hobbies are singing, playing the guitar, which he has mastered over the years, and he also enjoys reading, mainly fantasy books. He loves to read humans idea of vampires and finds the book Twilight insulting to his kind.

History

Cedric Jackson was born in the early 1800's to a loving mother and father, he was the eldest of three, having a younger brother and a younger sister. His child was full of love and kindness until he turned ten. That is when his mother died and his father turned to booze to dull his pain. And then he became abusive to his children, mainly poor Cedric, the eldest. Cedric was beaten and starved by his father, but instead of anger for his father he only felt pity for the man who lost the woman he loved. Then, when he was 18 and around the time when his father was on the mend and starting to regain his sense a horrible thing happened. The large manor that they lived in was attacked by a group of bandits, his family was slaughtered right before his very eyes. He was stabbed in the side and left to die. As the young man lay bleeding, on the brink of dying, a wander passed by and offered him a chance at a new life at the sacrifice of his humanity. He took it and the man drank his life blood away. When Cedric woke again he was a vampire.
