Scars/Tattoos/Piercings: Julian has pierced ears, a mark of his vanity. In addition, he has several scars on his chest and back, mostly from blades or muskets. He has but one burn scar at the center of his chest.
Physical Description:
It is easy to see why Julian was called a heartbreaker so long ago. He is the epitome of male beauty: lithe, broad-shouldered, golden hair, and crystal blue eyes. With his love for fine clothes and colorful cloaks, he would not look out of place in a Renaissance painting.
His vampiric nature hasn't left him unchanged, however. Beyond the times where one can see real sorrow in his eyes, Julian's hair occasionally darkens when he is depressed or his powers act up. In addition, he has a bestial, vampiric form which manifests itself in times of great stress or need, increasing his abilities ten-fold at the cost of increased bloodlust and the lessening of his control over his emotions.
Strengths:
Eternal Life- Julian may despise his curse of eternal life, but he cannot deny that it is one of his strengths. As long as the curse endures, he cannot die, though he can be grievously wounded. He has used his extended lifespan to increase his knowledge and master his abilites as much he can.
Charm- Julian was always a charming individual, even in life. He can put many a person at ease and if he so desired, convince someone of the opposite sex to accompany him to his bed.
Vampirism- His condition gives Julian certain strengths. He is faster and stronger than normal man and his senses are heightened to the extent that few have ever been able to sneak up on him since his transformation. In addition, he can transform into a more bestial form to increase his abilities, but this is a doudle-edged sword. He may also turn humans into vampires or ghouls, slaves to his very will, but he rarely uses those abilities, finding them distasteful.
Swordsmanship- Julian was born in an age where it was expected that royalty should know how to use the sword and Julian was always an excellent study. Julian has honed his abilities out of boredom if nothing else. At this time, he prefers the jian, the "Gentleman of Weapons".
Weaknesses:
Sunlight- As a pureblood vampire, sunlight doesn't outright kill him, but it does weaken him severely.
Fire- As a vampire, Julian is particularly vulnerable to fire to the extent his wounds take much longer to heal when they are inflicted by flames. In theory, his body could be burned to ash and he would be still bound to those ashes, unable to pass on as long as the curse endures.
His Temper- Over the years due to depression and the toll it takes on him, Julian's temper has gotten worse and worse. This often blinds his judgment and endangers in a fight. In addition, his anger makes it easier for his vampirc nature to take over, endangering everyone around him as Julian desires nothing more than combat and blood.
His Family- There is nothing in the world that Julian loves more than his family and he would do anything to protect them. This includes his wife, no matter her incarnation.
Abilities:
Transformation- Julian is able to transform into a large bat-like creature with larger fangs and sharp claws either at will or through extreme stress and anger. In this transformation, he is stronger, faster, and can shrug off a greater amount of damage. In addition
Flight- Julian has the ability to fly with or without the wings that comes with his transformation. In addition, he can grant this ability to another person as long as he is physically touching them.
Wind Manipulation- Julian can manipulate the air around him in various shapes and forms. He often uses this lengthen the reach of his blade in combat and can also create great gusts of wind resembling miniature tornadoes.
Oddities:
Singing/Humming- Julian loves music and he can often be heard humming or singing a tune under his breath.
A Stylish Appearance- As a leftover from his more vain days, Julian continues to dress in stylish clothing, favoring long hair and cloaks.
Personality:
Julian is a passionate man. His emotions are intense and he rarely hides them. If he loves you, he will protect you even at the cost of his own life, but on the flipside, if you harm what he loves, there is nothing in this world that will save you from his wrath. Julian is a charmer and though not much of a womanizer anymore, he knows how a smile and kind word can make even the most ice-cold women blush. He also has a chivalrous streak due to his upbringing and absolutely refuses to allow harm to befall a woman when he can help it, though this does not apply to certain witches for obvious reasons. Once a cheerful, if irresponsible man, Julian's manner has darkened over the years due to the curse on his family. He still refuses harm the innocent, but he now shows no hesitation at feeding upon the truly wicked, something which this world has in abundance. Deep down, he blames himself for the curse upon his family, but he cannot forgive Haven for targeting his children and wife in her mad retribution.

History:
Julian was born in wealth and luxury as a prince of a small but prosperous kingdom. He deeply loved his family, his people, and, especially, women. He was always a passionate man who found bliss in the arms of many lovers including Haven Blackwood, a beautiful witch that he thought he had loved. Then he met his wife and he discovered what true love was. She was intelligent, kind, and she saw through his charms like it was nothing. He focused only on her and put aside his womanizing ways for her and later, their children. Unfortunately, he broke many hearts including Haven's and, though he was genuinely contrite and honest with her, Haven in her jealousy cursed himself and his whole family and the rest is history.
Today, Julian is estranged from his own son, unaware of his part in his wife's latest death. He spends his days caring for his daughter and searching for his wife's next incarnation, determined to protect her at all costs, even his own life.
