Seth_Friedman_(vampire)

Pretty much your generic vampire

0 · 145 views · located in The Infinite Void

a character in “The Multiverse”, as played by DCLXVI

Description

Seth is tall and lanky, with a pallid complexion and long wavy hair tied back in a ponytail, which his father always tells him makes him look like a girl. One would be hard pressed, however, to find anything feminine in the rest of Seth’s gaunt face, which sports bushy eyebrows, heavily lidded eyes, a hooked nose, a wide mouth with thin lips, and nearly constant stubble. He walks with a slight stoop, his poor posture no doubt brought on by years without a mother to constantly yell at him to stand up straight. He has a limited wardrobe, mainly consisting of black jeans and t-shirts.

Personality

Seth is quiet at best, asocial at worst. He prefers to avoid other people as much as he can, and is stoic and unresponsive when he is forced into contact with them. He sees mortals as useless nobodies, and vampires as competition; people to get out of the way of, or to force out of his own way. The only person he ever speaks to is his sire, Ivan Berhsadensky. (Ivan may be replaced with Vincent in some RPs.)

As he got older, Seth transitioned from asocial to antisocial, turning into a brooding, angry teenager. Now instead of merely disliking other people, he downright hates them. He often kills humans for sport, a practice frowned upon but not stopped by his sire. Ivan figures it's a phase that Seth will grow out of.

Although Seth was raised Jewish, he no longer has any sort of religious convictions. He is in a “God is dead” state of mind, brought on by the admittedly crummy life he’s had.

History

All dates and places taken from the first RP I used him in, and are subject to change based on the setting of the RP. Same goes for the atom bomb stuff.

Seth was born Sean Friedman-Flanagan, to Liesbet Friedman and John Flanagan, in 1932, in Teller, Alaska, just north of Nome. His parents got divorced in 1935, when Seth was three, and his mother moved to New York City, taking Sean with her, where she raised him in Judaism and changed his name to Seth. She and her ex-husband remained on Christmas-/Chanukah-card terms until Liesbet died of cancer in 1940, when Seth was eight, and he was sent to live with his father, still in Teller.

John, at this point, was remarried and had two daughters, four and three years old. He was unhappy that his ex-wife had died, but he and his wife and kids could do nothing to console Seth. In fact, Seth was unwilling to accept any sort of condolence, but preferred to remain in "you have no idea" mode, unwilling to speak of his mother, then New York, then the lower 48, then anything. John and Seth (who John never called "Seth," even calling him "Sean" only if he absolutely had to) had absolutely no patience with each other, and were both far too stubborn to establish any sort of father-son relationship.

Seth continued to practice Judaism, although the closest synagogue was fifteen miles away. His stepmother, who was more sympathetic to his situation than his father, drove him there every Saturday, and he took the bus home. His sisters attempted to establish friendly relationships with him when they got old enough, but Seth usually quashed such efforts with snarkiness, sarcasm, and sometimes outright rudeness.

At ten, Seth was kidnapped by Ivan, who turned him into a vampire, and took him back to New York. He lived in SoHo for five years, hiding in a boarded up warehouse, preying on poor artists, hobos, and tourists. Ivan had a sort of alter-ego as a pianist, which brought in income to sustain their presence and eventually buy an apartment. In May of 1945, when Seth was thirteen, Seth and Ivan went to Anchorage, where Ivan had been hired to play for a large amount of money.

To save money on the return flight, Ivan had Seth ride in a coffin in the cargo part of the plane, which Seth was OK with. Seth was, however, sent to the wrong plane, along with much of the rest of the luggage from his flight. After landing in Nome, Seth was sent to the baggage claim carousel, where he waited for what he assumed was an appropriate amount of time for Ivan to pick him up. After hearing through the walls of the coffin that he was not in New York but in Nome, Seth got out of the coffin, found his and Ivan's suitcases, and left the airport.

After using Ivan's credit card to withdraw enough money to take a taxi to Teller, where he assumed his father still lived, Seth looked up the Flanagans in a telephone directory, and called his stepmother. She was ecstatic to hear that he was still alive, and was more than happy to let him into their house. It was right about then that the news broke that New York City, Washington, and San Francisco had been hit simultaneously by atomic bombs.

Being far away from the rest of the world and not a prime target, Seth figured he'd be safe enough in Teller. He wasn't happy about having to request help from the father he despised, but he figured it was better than fending for himself. However, he hadn't bet on the intimidation factor he seemed to have on his stepfamily upon them realizing what he had become in his absence. Seth found he was able to use this to his advantage, often threatening his father rather than attempting cooperation (a skill he undoubtedly learned from his sire). The Flanagans soon traveled south to the refugee camp in Nome.

Seth lives now much as he did in SoHo, albeit without the constant threat of the police. He lives a dual life, spending half his time with his family gathering supplies and helping the group in general. He keeps his vampirism on the hush-hush for the most part, going out to feed in a sort of alter-ego state. In order to perpetuate this, he goes by Sean Flanagan when with his father and stepfamily, and Seth Friedman when he is alone, acting entirely as a vampire.

After about a year and a half, Seth decided to start having fun with the camp. He began spending less and less time with the Flanagans, and, using a radio transmitter he found, sends messages to the camp radio, telling them when he will strike next, knowing they can’t really do anything to stop him.

So begins...
