Your worst Nightmare. [Trapped Inside]
| Basics |
Character Name: Severen Journal: bloodonmyspurs Fandom: Near Dark Species: Vampire Sexuality: Heterosexual (Nominally. Although he does appreciate the female form, he is much more interested in torture and murder than the act of sex in specific.) Personality: Severen is something of a clown. He often has a smile on his face, and a joke coming from his lips. What good is immortality if you can't enjoy it none? Of course, he does get upset, and when he does, he's volatile and prone to rash decisions, something that was often kept in check by Jesse and Diamondback. He has his pet peeves. Such as Homer's tendency to holler and complain about how old he looks as opposed to how old he is. Severen revels in what he is without remorse. He has a particularly sadistic streak while hunting. Not content with simply feeding, or killing, he likes to destroy his targets emotionally in the process, on top of terrorizing them. He alternates friendly speech with abusive, prolongs the process more than is necessary, and gives his targets opportunities to attack him. It's not like it'll hurt him any, and he loves the look on their faces when they realise it. Sometimes he'll even pretend they were succeeding. Hamming it up a little, just for shits and giggles. Severen doesn't really trust, or care about, anyone outside his clan. That familiarity can lead to bickering, and they have the rare privilege of hearing him bitch, moan, cuss and complain. However, he is steadfastly loyal to them. Everyone else can burn, after he's tortured them for fun, and taken their blood. |
| Strengths//Weaknesses |
Skills: Vampire: He's got increased strength, heightened senses, and a tendency to heal unnaturally fast (although not instantly) due to his vampirism. Even though he is not impervious to harm, he is generally able to ignore it. With the notable exception of sunlight, seems to feel little very little, if any, pain, or at the least, a very high tolerance. He has gone so far as to shrug off being hit by a semi-truck, even though a good portion of his face was missing. Coupled with his arrogance, this is a double edged sword. Criminal Mind: He has a knack for arson, car theft, and murder. He's a decent shot, not as good as Jesse, but he can manage. An excellent con man, he's just as good at projecting a likable facade and gaining trust, as he is at inspiring fear, unease, and anger, in subtle, and not so subtle, ways. Ultraviolent: His violent tendencies have helped him become an excellent brawler, having over a century and a half's experience. He doesn't have much use for any formalized style of fighting, but rather uses brute strength and an accumulated knowledge of what hurts and/or kills best. Weaknesses: Vampire: Direct sunlight damages him very quickly, causing first degree burns in a matter of seconds. Prolonged exposure will kill him; he will catch fire, and eventually undergo not-so-spontaneous inhuman combustion. Fire is also deadly to him. Although not established, in cannon it can be inferred that anything which thoroughly destroys his body will also kill him. Arrogance: Severen is incredibly arrogant, confident that his near-immortality will protect him from just about any situation that doesn't involve sunlight. He is also confident that once he targets someone, they are not getting away. So he feels free to take his time to torture them, often emotionally as well as physically. Volatile: Despite being the big joker of the group, Severen is actually quite volatile. In fact it's part of it. He annoys easily, but he just as quickly lets it go. When he's actually upset, he's volatile and prone to rash decisions, something that was kept in check by Jesse and Diamondback. Family/Clan: Severen views everyone in Jesse's gang of vampires as his family. They're the only family he has or wants any part of. He is steadfastly loyal to them, to a fault. He will, without thinking, risk his life to protect or avenge them. Emphasis on without thinking. His judgement isn't simply clouded. It's just about gone. (See: Volatile) |
| How He Got Here |
Severen laughed as he tore out more wires, when he heard something from Caleb that sounded an awful lot like "Jackknife!" He just had enough time to see the boy jump from the cab, before the semi began to skid, twisting into the aforementioned "folded" position. Well hell, that wasn't good. Severen's grip on the engine loosened, and he was flung off the hood of the truck, tumbling as he hit the pavement off to the side. Lost a few more layers of skin in the bargain too. That Colton boy was really starting to piss him off. His thoughts were interrupted by an explosion. One that could have killed him if he were still on the truck. Clever. It would have improved his opinion of Caleb, if he weren't so angry at him as it was. As he stood up, he heard footsteps behind him. Severen looked to to see four black clad strangers. He decided they weren't worth his time, he had to deal with Caleb. Turning away, the footsteps became hurried, and one grabbed his arm. He twisted easily out of the stranger's grip, breaking his arm with a satisfying crunch. That was the plan anyway, but before he could do anything, he felt a sting in his arm, and was released. They backed up, and stood at all sides of him, not saying a word. It was right irritating. "Now what do ya'll think that's gonna do?" he said. Drugs didn't work on his kind. Least as far as he knew, and to him, that pretty much meant it was that way. He grinned wide, pointing at the one who held the needle, as he stalked towards him. "When I get through with you..." he stopped, unable to remember the rest of the thought. He was feeling mighty tired all of the sudden, and shook his head to clear it. That didn't make sense. Severen didn't get tired until well into the day. More to himself than the men around him, he asked, "Daylight comin'?" He didn't think so, but it was as good an explanation as any. His vision began to blur. Severen collapsed onto the ground. |
