Description
Birth Name: Epsitos Jubelius Trifton
Self given Name: Ryoko Trifton
Age: 22 (50 in reality)
Gender: Male
Nationality: Asian
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 116lbs
Hair: Onyx
Eyes: Iceburg Blue
Ryoko is a handsome, dashing man with well kempt, short cropped onyx black hair and piercing iceburg blue eyes. He has a symmetrical curve to his chin that gives him a soft look and slender cheeks and head. He maintains a very high state of hygiene and as a result his skin is nearly flawless, besides the severe tan and sunburns he receives when out in the sun too long. His hands are slender, fitting his body well, with medium length fingers, and short nails which he constantly files due to his vampire trait of them growing into hideous claws. His body like a slender build of powerful muscle and solid body. As small a frame as he has, his strength is quite fearsome to behold.
On his back is a dragon tattoo, created by the renowned tattoo artist, Tamamo-no-Mae. The tattoo itself was crafted of ink made of her own blood, and this allows him to stay out in sunlight for just a while longer than most of his species (5 minutes max) although it does not make him immune by any means. Another property of this tattoo is the emitting of pheromones that draw the females species to him chemically, increasing his overall appeal , thus keeping his sources of precious lifesblood within' his reach. It has a calming effect once he bites someone and will cause them to be more friendly toward him. The effect wears off after 2 hours on a normal person, in truth it depends on the person in question.
Personality
Ryoko is a very calm person with a calculative mind. He is typically polite and well mannered, and he is very prideful. He knows exactly what he is and he often questions the reason for his existence. He is very charming, but he can be stubborn, and he actually hates the fact that he has to drink blood to survive, so he usually ends up feeling under the weather often.
He is a child at heart, even after living as long as he has. While he can be benevolent, he can be ruthless and Dogmatic. He can be savage and violent at times, especially while bloodlusting. He is prideful, but he doesn't let it get in his way unless he feels like someone is insulting his pride.
Equipment
Ryoko's sword is a famliy heirloom passed down through generations. The hilt of the blade is a gamboge orange, and the pommel in a brown iron gloss, engraved with a dragon. The handguard is the same as pommel a iron brown gloss, square in shaped with rounded edges. The saya matches the hilt also being a gamboge orange. The blade is well taken care of and its has a mirror like sheen. It is crafted of a enchanted silver alloy; as lethal as it is to many different beings, it is able to be used on Ryoko himself with less of an effect, but still effective in hurting him.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Abilities:
Enhanced Stamina & Durability: He can take normal punishment and still continue to fight, and he can keep fighting for longer than a peak human could by hours.
Blood elements: He can use either his own blood or the blood of others and convert them into one of the five classic elements (Earth, Fire, Water, and Earth) as well as mixing the elements to expand the list drastically. This ability was inherited from Vigrid Winters.
Enhanced Senses: His fives sense are strong even to recognize people based off their scent and the smell of their blood, their voice and their overall presence as a being.
Enhanced Strength: Ryoko has colossal strength, being to a point where he can easily lift many times his own weight. Both his reflexes and agility are superhuman. His physical speed and endurance is greater than a human at the peak of of physical being.
Combat Prowess: He has trained in several martial arts throughout his short lifetime and he has knowledge of a variety of arts and techniques. Ryoko is a practitioner of Akikido, Hakkesho, and Jeet Kune Do; his prowess in battle is that of a old soul, but he is far from it physically.
Hypnotic Suggestions: This ability is only effective if he has eye contact with a woman for more than 20 seconds. It compels her to do want he wants, although sufficient willpower can break the suggestion.
----------------------
A bloodlust occurs usually when Ryoko hasn't feed for a extended period of time. His body forces him into this state, which causes him an extreme amount of pain. His skin becomes flushed of color, and his eyes glow with a luminous hue of deep blue. He loses all sense of himself and goes on a savage feasting of blood. He becomes like a beast, mindless, violent, and fueled with survival instincts. After he has had his fill, or he has been beaten into submission he assumes his normal state of being.
It is known that without drinking blood, Ryoko will lose his youthful appearance and take his normal physical age. As he goes longer without feeding his hair changes shades gradually until its a snow white color, and his physical attributes lower to match his appearance.
----------------------------------------
Weaknesses -He cannot enter someone's home without their permission
-He cannot touch a person with a cross on their person. It causes him not death, but debilitating pain.
-Decapitation can kill him
-A stake to the heart will paralyze his entire body, but not kill him
Silver-Silver burns his skin like fire, and it continues until the silver is brought out of contact with him. The more pure the sliver, the more effective it is.
Sunlight-Sunlight burns him at quadruple the rate of a normal human, he can't see while in the sunlight and his regenerative ablities are completely halted in the sun. The burning can be stopped slightly with shade, and it takes double the amount of time to heal from sunburns. (No sparkling for this vampire thank you)
Black Turquoise-His weakness to black turquoise is a inherited trait from the woman who turned him; Vigrid Winters. On contact the effected skin is slowly turned into a cool ice like substance and until the contact is severed his body will freeze over and become brittle like glass. The more impure the black turquoise is, the less of an effect it has on him. Being a certain distance to black turquoise will make his feel sick and even black out depending on the sized and purity. (Feel free to exploit this to dominate him ladies :D)
History
Epsitos Jubelius Trifton was born to a middle class family in Delaius, Vangeered as a 8lbs healthy baby boy. He lived the normal life like any child would, curious, and innocent and learning as his life went along. He went to preschool, kindergarden, and elementary school in Delaius and he was no different from you or me. He went to Delaius High and had a girlfriend and friends the same as anyone; He graduated with a good gpa and he went out of state to go to college.
His first year was frantic and it took some getting adjusted to, but he did well enough. The same goes for the next two years. Of course his junoir year is when it happened; he was 22 years old and walking home after a birthday party with a beautiful classmate:
Epsitos nearly stumbled out of the door to the bar, his birthday had been a blast and his luck had peaked; he had a beautiful woman on his arm that agreed to "walk" him home. They two of them were buzzed and horny and they would reach his apartment in just a block. As they walked, he slipped his arm around her waist with a grin "I'm glad you came to my party Vigrid. Maybe when we get to my place you could show me how flexible you really are." The beautiful black haired woman giggled and turned away with a small blush. "Maybe if you play your cards right birthday boy..." She drunkenly leaned against the man as they walked along the sidewalk...
At His apartment...
He didn't even have the time to unlock the door as she jumped into his arms, wrapping her legs around his waist and locking her lips onto his in a lustful kiss. They seemed to almost race to see who could get their clothes off the fastest. Vigrid forced him back onto his bed and crawled on top of him with a smile on her perfect lips. "Happy Birthday sweetie.." Then her fangs grew..and she bit him.."Agh! What are you doing?!" He attempted to fight her off, but she overpowered his efforts, feeling his blood rush into her mouth. After a few minuted he had stopped fight her completely...just watching her as she nearly sucked him dry. "Don't be so sad, how's about I spare you?" She fed him her blood. "Enjoy your new gifts sweetie...and I'll close the curtains when I leave..." The man passed out soon after she got off of him and left...
And that's how it happened...she turned him into a leech..
The Huntress
One night Epsitos was on the prowl in a club; he didn't know it but he was followed by a woman named Hena and she showed him what a real woman was...when they got back to his place she surprised him, revealing she was a hunter. She thought she had him pegged, but he finally turned the tables on her...you can ask her about the table in question. Eventually, they "came" to an agreement and he wasn't able to break her down, but they are rivals now...and he wouldn't mind a meeting of the rivals once more...
A meeting of Rivals: Hena's Revenge
So begins...
Epsitos stepped into the bar with a soft sigh, he cool blue gaze wandering casually as her walked along the aisle. Behind his form walked Miyu close behind; as he walked he glances back at her blank features. In her eyes was a glint of annoyance. She had away dislike being out in crowded places. At once he had slipped into a open booth, miyu following suite and slipping into the other side of the booth across from him.
Epsitos gaze shot up to the man who approached his table "Well, I don't really have an appetite..." He was lying of course, he wasn't content at all; his body craved something more than just food. Miyu looked up up at him as well, studying his form quietly. "My companion is the same as myself..Thank you for asking.."
Epsitos he raised his palm to rest against his forehead; his head was pounding severely. Miyu simply watched him. He looked up to her, sighing. "Nope..I refuse.." She took her gaze off of him; She was annoyed of course. "I told you I don't like to..it makes me sick to my stomach..in my mind.."
Epsitos 's skin slowly drained it's color as his breathing picked up. Miyu's eyes glinted with a spark of her acute senses. Ryoko raised his head, inhaling deeply and releasing it as his gaze met hers. His eyes had taken on a glow and his skin was completely pale...He was finally to the point of bloodlusting...
Epsitos slipped out of the booth as a small grin spread across his lips. He leaned against the bar casually. "Pardon me.." His illuminated gaze shot to a barmaid, as he called to her. "Yes sir, what can I get you?" He reached over the counter, his hand aimed to grip her throat. Miyu's fine hand struck the inside joint of his arm to force his arm to bend as miss the barmaid's throat.
“
stepped into the bar letting his gaze wander around idly; Miyu followed him with a usual dead silence. "You need to talk more often..sometimes I forget your there.." Ryoko looked back to her with a curious eye, sitting in a nearby booth. She didn't response at all she just sat across from him with the same stern expression settled into her features.
”
Epsitos Poked at her cheeks, attempting to incite a response. "You don't talk at all?.." Her stare was unchanging. "Will you write if I get you a pad of paper?.." He asked, hoping to get anything, a nod, a shake of the head, but alas the gaze stayed the same.
Epsitos stepped into the bar looking around casually. Miyu followed behind silently as the two of them sat in an open booth. He laid his head on the table and groaned. "The sun is almost up and I feel terrible.."
Epsitos walks casually into the arena, a fox like grin spread across his face. He slung off his trench as he spotted the other two that entered before him.
Epsitos he quickly snapped to attention, watching as the other combatants began to take the offensive. He took off from the spot he once stood, blazing toward Balthazar as the blob sent an attack toward him. He adjusted himself as he ran, coming toward Balth with a right hook after the blob had hit him, that is if it did at all. His own attack would come as balth was reacting to the blobs attack, it was going to hit, or so he assured himself.
Epsitos watched balth as he swung his blade up to ward off his attack. He hadn't brought his sword with him and he couldn't stop it. He immediately tried to stop himself and change his direction, feeling the blade graze a thin line along his attacking shoulder before he could fully stop and escape the situation. He shook off the sting, and kept his eyes on Balth and the others as he thought about his next action.
Epsitos immediately sprung into action as he watched the battlefield. The blob creature was too dangerous to engage with just his hands, so he studied the other combatants. He began to advance toward Kento, hoping to blindside him with a outstretched left arm in a quick and sneaky clothesline while he was preoccupied with the blob and all that was happening. He could succeed...or not.
Epsitos He stepped into gambits, whistling a cordial tune as he took a glance around. Behind him followed silent as always. Ryoko noticed the commotion going on and slipped into a stool at the counter, turned toward the action so that he could woot and holler like a fool. "Well hot damn, a good ol' barfight, although I have to say I'm used to seeing human smash each other's face in..." While he was preoccupied, Miyu tapped the counter loudly to get the barmaid's attention. Ryoko peered her way and waited for her to ask for a drink, but she waited until she was heard, pointing toward a bottle of water, and causing ryoko to sigh at her vocal abstinence.
Epsitos The sound of a gunshot, made him shot a gaze in the direction. A well dressed guy was sitting in a booth across the bar, and he had let some lead loose in the air. "Hey pal, watch the bullets! Alot of folks around here might be allergic." Miyu nudged him in the ribs; when he turned to look at her she simply stared. He mumbled. "...man cramping my fight picking." As he grumbled, she tapped the counter once again to get the attention of the barmaid. This single sound made ryoko turn around, forgetting the fight and his eyes widened as he waiting for her to speak up. Unfortunately, she pointed at the bottle of water again. He let his let his head fall onto the counter, defeated. Suddenly, a mass of spoons appeared out of thin air, clattering against the counter. The sound made ryoko jump to attention. "Holy hell!" Miyu glanced back at the spoons with her usual stare of a glance.
Epsitos proceeded with a casual stride toward gambit's as he spotted a woman locking up a restaurant. From the smell of her and the sound of her hearbeat, she was human. Maybe he'd get rid of his hunger today..if she was human. She walked pass her without a word and slipped into a dark alleyway unseen, then he listened to her footsteps...as she passed the alleyway, he covered her mouth to muffle her scream and wrestled her into the darkness of the shadows. As she fought with him, he immediately overpowered her and held her still, whispering in her ear. "Be calm, I'm not go to hurt you, I just need some blood and I'll let you go scott free with no problems.." The woman rammed her head into his shoulder. He had attacked enough folks to know she was aiming for the bridge of his nose. "Calm down..." he said trying to comfort her; she wasn't giving up the ghost and kept struggling, even biting his hand til he bled, but he couldn't let a meal get away so easy. "Now come on, that's not very polite.." She didn't even bother to stop biting. He thought about knocking her out, getting what he wanted and leaving her there in the alley, but that didn't sit right. Hell, he felt guilt too...
Epsitos "Bite me you sick bastard!" She continued to struggle, biting down even harder. "Now if I bite you and some of that blood gets into your system, you'll turn into a sick bastard too.." He said jokingly. "Let me go freak!" She barked at him kicking and screaming...until he sunk his fangs into her neck. She abruptly stopped moving as he sucked blood from the small wounds. He wasn't looking to drain her dry or kill her, but her took out at least a quarter pint and then he let her go. "You didn't ingest any of my blood did you?.." He asked politely "If so you'll have a shitty life as a blood sucker for the rest of your life.." She didn't move at all, was she in shock or something? Is was to dark to tell.
Epsitos "What's going to happen now, are you going to kill?" The woman sounded serious. "Are you serious? I got what I needed, you can get going now.." Besides the thought that his statement sounded strangely wrong he shrugged unseen in the darkness. "I want to join you.." Well, thanks to his wonderful tattoo, she was finally calmed down, but it seemed to effect her different than the women he had encountered before. "That's not my thing, I don't go around giving the "dark gift" to people.." She said as he walked out of the alleyway with his fingers in quotation marks. The woman followed after him. "Don't follow me, I'm headed to gambit's there alot of weridos there.."
Epsitos entered gambit's and she followed right behind him; and she sat down across from him as he slipped into a booth. The woman continued to stare at him. She was actually very pretty, and he didn't mind the company, at least until his tattoo's power had worn off and she would probably slap the taste out of his mouth and storm out. At least his headache was gone now. "Will you turn me now?" He studied her for a while. "How is this related to my tattoo?..maybe there's something wrong with me?.." He thought to himself. "No.."
Epsitos "But I'm asking you to, I want to join you.." Again, something was wrong with the woman. Maybe it was the shock of being bitten? "There is no joining me, all vampires are pretty much loners, they may have friends, but they are loners. I would suggest asking folks in here, but some of the weridos are cranky or disturbed.." He said jokingly.
