In Character

The Basics:

Full Name: Zeke Ray McGavin

Nickname: Just goes by Zeke or Z or some just call him by his last name, McGavin.

Specie: Human, vampire hunter.

Group: N/A

Age: 20

Birth date: December 1st

Weapon(s): He has two favorite weapons, his small cross necklace to prevent from being bitten and his large cross which is hidden in his jacket pocket at all times. Also, Zeke keeps holy water with him in a bottle, always. He also carries a small gun with him.

Orientation: Bisexual (undecided though, he is a bit of a ladies man but can find some males attractive so he is either really.)

Physical Description:

Eye Color: Light blue.

Hair Color/Style: Sandy blonde, wavy hair.

Height: 5’4”

Weight: 150 lbs

Blood Type: AB+

Identifying Characteristics: He likes to blend into any surrounding but mostly at night is when he comes out, just like the vampires that he has sworn to kill. So, he normally wears a dark hat that hides most of his face in shadows and dark clothing, this keeps him blend into his surroundings, just as he likes and has to be the most noticeable feature if spotted. Also, he has a dull eye which he lost in a fight.

General Appearance: Zeke has very fine and thin, sandy blonde hair, its shortly cut in the back but wavy in the front. His light blue eyes are stunning and actually the first thing most people who notice but that would have to be because one of his eyes is injured and unable to see anything out of, its rather dull looking and never blinks. He’s white but not as white as a vampire and somewhat has a tan now. He looks a bit wimpy, no budging muscles and such but he is fairly fit and able to defend himself if he were taken on. For when it comes to daytime wear, it really depends on what Zeke feels like wearing that will not cause him to stand out in anyway. Mostly though he tends to wear rather white worn out sneakers, tight blue jeans which are slightly faded in color followed by a long sleeved sweatshirt with the name of his high school on it. If the sun decides to come out, Zeke will be wearing his favorite shorts along with a matching shirt color. Mostly it depends on his surroundings and the weather though and he tends to pick out whichever would be best. At nighttime though, things are different and charge, its then that he goes to work. First is first, large black boots, one that don’t squeak are always his best and first choice. As for clothing, he always wears long black pants with a long sleeved black shirt, though that is not seen for he is covered up by a black trench coat that’s buttoned up and hides most of him from sight. Along with that though, he wears a dark hat, one of which that covers his face in shadows and keeps others from seeing what he looks like. As always he is careful when he battles to see to the hat doesn’t manages to flew off and relieve his true appearance.

Celebrity: Mathias Lauridsen

Personality:

Strengths:

Able to fight off pain, though he still may be injured in aching with the unsettling pain, that doesn’t mean that he isn’t able to ignore it and go on through the battle. It hardly slows him down unless the pain is far too great to ignore and he has to flee.

Rather intelligent, not only can he be as silent as the grave when walking about, almost as though he himself is a vampire but he always is able think on his feet and come up with some plan.

Thinking on his feet is a major strength he is able to master. Coming up with many different lies that will see to his situation. That doesn’t mean that he doesn’t screw up with a lie every so often but it does keep them reasonable and can come up with something on such short notice.

Zeke can charm who he wishes into doing whatever he wants, this hasn’t really failed yet but he doesn’t use it on vampires. This comes in handy when he needs to know information on any or said vampires, he has trouble tracks humans who know things down but once he does, he puts on his charm and secrets pour out, some of which things he didn’t even care to know.

Weaknesses:

Unlike many of his other family members, he can't really sense a vampire, or more a less who is a vampire. This can get him into trouble but he is always on the look out and ready for some surprise attack.

He has a “dead” eye, after getting into a battle with a vampire, he had lost his eye in the battle and now he is only able to see out of one eye. This does not stop Zeke though, he is ever alert and his disadvantage is only hidden in shadows by his hat.

Not knowing when he is in over his head has to be by far, his worst weakness. This is when being over confident rolls its ugly head and nails him. it’s a weakness that he can’t seem to over-come no matter how hard he tries to over come this problem, it never seems to work. Either he ends up rather beat up and near death and manages to escape or has to back out of the fight and make his escape before he is no where near passing out.

His emotions can get in the way and though he tries to hide it, Zeke always seems to show them. This is when the hat that covers his face comes in handy and hides them from view but he has trouble not having it heard in his voice as well as actions which speaker louder than words itself.

Likes:
    When it rains, just the smell and the way everything is clean just calms him down.
    Cats, very much of a cat lover, having three in his home that he lives with.
    Putting up a fight and winning.
    Helping other humans out in daylight when he isn’t really hidden from sight and just blends in.
    The thrill of the chase.
    His job, vampire hunting.
    Reading a mystery book or thriller.
Dislikes:
    Vampires, obviously.
    Getting injured and bleeding.
    Losing to a vampire and or being at the mercy of one.
    Scary movies, always hated them.
    The thought of death.
    Vampires finding out what he really looks like.
    Cleaning himself up after a kill.
Hobbies:
    Drawing realistic pictures of his cats or other animals.
    Reading up on vampires to learn more about them.
    Writing his own book on vampires
    Going for walks.
    Reading a good book.
Skills:
    Trained in the art of hand-to-hand combat.
    A very quick learner to say the least.
    Hot-wiring cars and speed racing.
    Lady charmer (if one counts that as a skill.)
Reputation: The McGavin family tree has a long line of famous and skilled vampire hunters but Zeke is the last of the line as of now. Most vampires call him a mysterious shadow and only few know him by his first name. He has to fill a lot of shoes, so to speak and gain fear and a stronger reputation for himself as well and not just get by using his last name to strike fear in vampires.

Personality: Zeke is mainly the quiet type but not all the time sometimes he doesn’t mind having a conversation with someone, he doesn’t have too many of them anymore. The most he talks is when he is fighting a vampire, he likes to sometimes taught them and basically be the big shot he is. He doesn’t like to get anyone used to or attached to him because he doesn’t want others to be harmed because of what he is, so it’s best not to talk to anyone else at all. Though he may be often quiet, he does have rare moments when he is over talkative and when he is very nervous he will talk fast and only calms down once his nervousness goes down but until then he’d talk fast and maybe even blush a little.

He often describe himself as a silent-killer at other times when no battle is needed. Zeke would than just find his target, kill them quickly and as painlessly as possible and disappear within the shadows. To him, silence appears to be the key and he doesn’t have any problem with it. Most wouldn’t know but if the eyes are open on the vampire, he actually closes them, giving them a more peaceful look before making his escape. Zeke’s only concern are how dangerous those vampires are and how to protect others from harm but he does show somewhat sympathy from them through his kills but tries to keep anything from showing or that would just cause him to lose the kill and knew everyone would know of his true emotions for vampires.

When push comes to shove through, Zeke can be very hot-headed, he has his off days where he only appears like this but its mostly because of a recent event. Being cranky and angry seems to be an emotion that shows how upset he is, though he refuses to cry sometimes it gets bad enough to where he has to. He is actually emotionless but tries not to appear that way to others. He isn’t one to cry about something stupid like stepping on flowers or some non-sense like that and it normally has to be driving a stake through his heart, so to speak, because tears begin to form in his eyes, that’s for sure.

As calm and easy going as he comes off, Zeke is a bit of a ladies man, he may be bisexual but he knows how to treat the ladies. He is also quiet the charmer but he only uses this and plays with girls emotions when he knows they have some information about vampires or vampiric families for that matter.

History:

Past: Coming from a long line of hunters, Zeke has always showed his hate from them at a young age and his parents were proud and surprised by this as well. From that day on, he was taught about them, learned everything that his parents could hope for. At the young age of only being five, he was already to, with the help of his father, kill a vampire. It was a little bit scary but he actually liked the thrill of it, the way his heart would be faster and how quick and painless it was for the vampire too.

When they stopped all of a sudden with his daily studies, Zeke knew something was up and when he found out they were expecting a bay, he was hurt and tried to leave home, only going so far before a kind young woman asked where he was heading, he told her mostly everything but being a vampire hunter. It was then she helped him get the courage to go back home and confront his parents of this whole thing, he did and unknown to him, that was actually a Daywalker he was talking with but Zeke had yet to know of this, even later on in life did he figure it out. When he returned home and told them everything, they were very understand and told him that he will always be loved, they talked it out and than everything was fine yet again. It was a few weeks later on through that he recalled May coming back home, crying, when he was told that it was a miscarry, he was fairly unset about this, now that he thought though.

It had to be when he turned eight that few days later he woke up to see his dying father on the ground bleeding to death, with claw marks all over him. He said that a vampire broke in, sliced him open with his claws, tortured him for a bit and then took off. He ran to see if he mother was okay but she had also been killed by this same vampire. He was all alone in the world and didn’t understand anything, nothing had made any sense and he wanted so badly to know why they allowed him to live, he was just in the other room door wide open and this vampire allowed him to live. The vampire must have knew he would grow up to become a vampire hunter and that he was the last McGavin family member. This vampire could have destroyed the whole vampire hunting family just by killing him. It was so confusing and days on end he would wonder about it. Unable to think and frightened he fled the house with a few things to protect him with such as holy water and a cross. The necklace with the cross he wore was a kind gift from his parents on Christmas and since they put it on him, he never had taken it off.

Not knowing where to go, he went to his grandparents house, crying and telling them the whole story. They were retired hunters and hidden from everyone else, they gladly took the young hunter in and showed them everything they knew. Not only did he have to put up with learning about hunting, he had to learn normal school work as well but it was somewhat of a drag, he managed to get through both without getting too tired from either one.

Once he was much older though and through with his vampire training, Zeke said goodbye to his parents and bought his own place.

Member Title: Vampire Hunter
Roleplay Example: (From a cat roleplay.)

It was cold enough to make even a long hair cat shiver and run back for shelter from the freezing cold. There was rather light snow fall but the ground was already icy and sprinkled with a little bit of snow. Today was hardly weather that Sky had wanted but he had no control over it and the best thing to do was keep on walking. His paws were so very cold and he was shaking a little but it wasn’t too noticeable, good thing too since Sky didn’t like to embarrass himself with showing he couldn’t stand a little cold. This was always the hardest thing for him, getting used to the change of the outside weather. Though onward he went, trotting down the road, with his paws only slightly hitting the ground, he avoided having his paws become numb and ache which at the moment, he was looking for some shelter to warm his paws up but for now it was nothing just the open road, literally. With the snow falling onto his coat and melting, he was rather soaked, his fur flat against his body, his ears perked straight up and his whiskers twitching a little from being irritated by the falling snow landing on them. With his light blue collar proudly on his neck with the name “Max” his human given name, he continued to match through the ever falling snow.

Well this is nice Sky thought to himself trying to keep on the positive side, the only thing that wasn’t so nice was the fact he had to deal with freezing temperatures and not knowing just where he was headed. Finally, after hours of walking and nothing in sight, there was an old abandoned trunk up ahead, it had a “for sale” sign but no one wanted a piece of junk such as that trunks conditions. Humans may have seen it as a piece of junk but Sky on the other hand found it was just the pit stop he was looking for. Seeing a car coming though, Sky stared were he was, able to know of the dangers he was in from that passing car but once it zoomed passed him, he was crossing the street. Now on the other side, Sky sat under the large truck, the ground wasn’t as chilly as it was here and he had this shelter all to himself for now. He began to lick his paws clean and shake off the extra water that managed to get lodged into his fur. This would be his break and he was enjoying it too.

After getting as clean as he possibly could, he laid down, his belly touching against the cool ground but feeling somewhat better to him now. He wasn’t out of sight from others though and to humans he would look odd to see a cat under a trunk but he felt no danger and whenever he manages to, that is when he will split. “I wonder what my family is doing right now…” Sky couldn’t held but wonder out loud. He really did miss his mother but his dad just as much, along with his humans but it had to be. His mother told him about the green paper that the humans brought things with and that it was running low and had to get rid of one of the cats so, he took it upon himself to leave but not without a gift. It took awhile but he caught a mouse and left it on the backyard pouch for them to find, they would be very pleased with the gift and he could only hope that they would enjoy snacking on it as much as he enjoyed his small nibbling on the tail. What he never knew was that humans never ate them, Shy often put himself and the humans up there as an equal.

For a moment, he thought about Tex, as the humans called him, the dog that was next door. The pit-bull was rowdy and pretty loud but as odd as it may seem, the two managed to get along. Tex was rough around the edges and didn’t know of to express his feelings either but Sky knew that the dog was kind hearted. He wondered just what his humans thought of Tex but he could recall them yelling at him one day to keep quiet. Though, as far as he knew, Tex was a bit of a teenager, in the eyes of the humans he probably seemed more like a puppy but Sky knew a bit more about him then the humans did. Just thinking about him, as well as everyone he felt behind was very upsetting but it was all the best and he would visit them some day, he kept telling himself this as though he might forget it and end up never returning which was far from what he was going to let happen that was for sure.

Sky didn’t move from the spot underneath the truck, he didn’t really have much to do at the moment, for now he would just stay and keep warm until he is ready to go back on his journey.
