Gero

0 · 233 views · located in Earth

a character in “Children Of The Night”, as played by TornZero

Description

ImageName| Gero
Age| He thinks he's around 550 years old, when in reality Gero is, while still the youngest of the elders, just over 7,000.
Gender| Male

Clan| Animal
Role| Elder

Powers| Aside from the naturally insane speed and strength that comes with being a vampire, Gero has passive obedience over the world's poisonous animals, from scorpions and spiders to snakes and certain octopi and jellyfish, and an immunity to just about all kinds of poison and venom. If it has a toxin, it follows Gero even to places it won't normally inhabit and obeys his commands without hesitation. Alongside the animal allegiance, Gero is able to turn into multiple kinds of birds, both those flying and stuck on the ground. However, he'll typically shapeshift into a crow over any other bird. Whenever he shapeshifts, his body is surrounded in cherry blossoms. No one knows where they come from, even Gero. (It's really just his clothes.)

Personality| Gero has developed multiple personae. This is simply because the influx of 2,000 years of memories in such a short period of time drove him to instability. Splitting his two distinct personalities while sharing the memories became the only way to keep himself from going fully insane. The first persona is that of his most recent self: the former amnesiac, who regards animals highly and respects them more than humans; hell, if it weren't for his first years in North America and later 300 years in Japan (not counting the World Wars), he would've given up on humanity entirely. Calm and rational, albeit adventurous, this personality is his most dominant.

Second is his before-sleep self: always craving knowledge, this is the only of his two personalities that knows who Gero really is. He tried to find hope for humanity past procreation, but was met with disappointment at every other turn. From slavery to discrimination and war, humanity's biggest recurring problems have driven him to become ruthless toward the worst of their kind. Gero has come to the conclusion that humanity needs supervision, if nothing more extreme. Really, though, he'd prefer to stick to the less sentient beasts.

History| Unlike the other elders, Gero had actually woken up about five hundred years or so early on the Atlantic coast of North America with a bad case of amnesia. He didn't even remember his own name! All the things he did remember were the things that were second nature: his powers and the fact he loved blood, the desire of which he managed to satiate himself of with raw meat. Due to his abilities and that he aged extremely slowly, many Native Americans he came across revered him as a god of sorts.

That changed some-odd years later when he hitched a ride to Europe. Most believed his apparent fixation on the blood in raw meat made him a vampire. Now, if it weren't for the fact he WAS a vampire, the Inquisition would have been able to kill him. Instead, he managed to hide out in Japan -- he was pretty much cut off from the rest of the world due to the timing. Over the rest of these days, under many names, Gero lived like the Japanese, even taking a position as a successful warrior. Sadly, he was forced to lay lower than dirt lest Europe happen again.

It was only when the other elders woke up that Gero regained his memories. Not all of them, mind you. Most of the memories he recovered were in his general knowledge, not personal events. As such, he doesn't remember more about himself than his name and title of Vampire Clan Elder (as well as the other elders), the latter being the only thing that's driven him to finding the rest.

So begins...

Gero


How long've I been flying? It couldn't have been more than eighteen hours. Wait, how long is eighteen hours again? It feels like five. Time must move faster as you age. Train of thought probably gets off-track more often, too. Whatever. It can't be much longer now, can it? After another hour or so of flying around, he even contemplated putting an ad in the news, or on the internet. Thankfully though, he found at least something before he went through with it.

Landing on the roof of a meeting hall in the form of a crow, Gero could hear voices inside. He could smell the stench of vampire. A lot of 'em.

"We have to hunt down these damned Elders and end their miserable lives once and for all. Now who's with me?" Obviously, he came at a bad time. He only just recently recovered his memories -- not even all of them -- and he's already got a target painted on his back. What'd he do anyways? Now figuring he'd have to find the others even more so than before, Gero lifted off into the air to look around again.

It took surprisingly much less time than the first flight, only about fifteen more minutes. Granted, he was flapping quite a bit harder, and this time the wind wasn't against him, but it's still a surprisingly short time. A nice distance from the bounds of the clans' territories, Gero spotted a safe area where the Elders were converging. It was easy to tell who they were, at least except for Saren and Incena. Melissa and Akane didn't change a bit, but the other two took a little longer to recognize, and even then Gero only figured out that Saren was the one turned into a monster through the fact he was floating and that the other elders weren't killing him.

Taking his place in a tree nearby, Gero the multi-colored crow watched to find out what was going on before joining in.
