Character Details:
Name: Mircea Marcello Sandoval
Alias(es): Mircea, The Brat Prince, Mr. Skittles
Race: Vampire
Level: Master
Apparent Age: early 20s
True Age: 264
Bloodline: Dionysian
Weapons:
Mircea owns a solid metal bat that is normally kept with his things. He also has a pair of metallic claws and brass knuckles. None of the metals are Silver.
He also has usually one NPC bodyguard with him (A Gargoyle named Sterling). They do carry a standard handgun with regular bullets. They do carry one round of silver, but they only use it if Mircea's life is in imminent danger. Otherwise, its all normal bullets.
Professions:
Musician - Mircea’s learned to carry a tune rather well and play the guitar, which he often does to let out steam. His levels in both are to a garage rock band level. It’s great for playing clubs and his bar, but he wouldn’t take it internationally.
Accomplished Businessman - Mircea knows how to balance budgets, make business deals and manage his employees when it is needed. Working with Dionysus and owning his own Distillery... you learn!
Potter/Sculptor - In life, He was trained as a Potter and journeyman in clay/stone sculpting and ceramics making. He still holds a fine appreciation with working with his hands and often makes his own pottery and stone work.
Sexpert - Or a professional Dom. Mircea has made it a point to understand the ins and out of sexual pleasure in all its forms by how the body responds to the needs of others. It also makes him excellent at giving sex advice.
Bartender - though Mircea can’t drink alcohol himself, he can put on a show and make the most modern and colorful of drinks for others. He is often found behind the bar.
Other Skills:
Languages - Fluent in Romanian, Spanish, and English
Brawler - Street fighting is the name of the game for Mircea. While he had no finesse of a martial style, the sheer ferocity of his hand-to-hand style is without measure. He is often known to carry brass knuckles in his pockets and likes long metallic claws to use to tear others down.
Powers:
Touch of Madness: Often done through a kiss, bite, or literal touch of hand, though can be done by any flesh to flesh touch. Mircea’s touch can evoke feelings of madness inherently within another living being. It’s similar to a drug hit to the system escalating the worst (or best) thoughts of a person’s mind. Those harboring paranoia will raise to catastrophic amounts. Those with phobias will break down, those with depression may be turned into suicide at his very touch, as examples. It’s one madness per person, changing on what the person inherently carries. The feeling stays for an hour after or until the person ‘revels’ in the Madness (IE does one act upon themselves or another of that madness.) This power requires OOC consent.
Raise Madness: This is a low key energy he can send out roughly 20 meters around him that raises that feeling of rush in a person. This is a feeling similar to an adrenaline rush or a thrill being sought out by an action, event or substance. It’s not enough to make one lose their mind, but it gets the blood going. This power is akin to an aura. It heightens the sensation. Nor can this be focused on just one individual, much like auras can't. It's an area effect.
Feeds on Madness: That thrush of panic and fear that surges through a person, like the feeling one gets lost in a wild concert or being high off a substance) is the energy he can feed on. When feeding, the energy of the feeling does escalate, but it’s more akin to an adrenaline rush, like experiencing a jump scare would feel like than anything else.
Dream Maker/Mass Hypnosis: An advanced form of Mass Hypnosis, when Mircea has others within in his line of sight, he can create dream like experience of euphoria or fear upon the ones he has ensnared. They alone will feel and see the world exactly as he wants them too. This will last until either Mircea is disabled or when Mircea ends the ‘dream himself’ or the one ensnared falls into unconscious. If someone walks into the action, Mircea has to see them and will that power to add them into the dream, or else they will be unaffected. As an example, anyone to Mircea’s backside will not ‘see’ what he hypnotizes, only those before him that he can see. It is a frontal attack, anyone BEHIND Mircea wouldn't be effected, and since it is a concentration spell, he wouldn't be able to defend himself while its up.
Calls Satyrs/Faun: He doesn’t often show he can call Satyrs, choosing to rely on his other tricks.
Bond Breaker: Mircea can sever the bonds between two individuals with the will of his power. This is often used as a means to bind an already bound vampire to him for his Kiss. However, he can also break at the bonds of vampire and other, like a Master and their Servant. In these cases, it works as a ‘tier’ system. He can only at maximum take two tiers of a bond away within a 48 hour period when a non vampire is involved. As an example, He can strip one Mark level from two separate beings per 24 hours, but then he cannot strip another Mark from anyone for an entire day after (to complete the 48 hour cycle). Requires clear OOC consent from all parties involved. This is mandatory and an exception can only be made if one of the parties involved has not been around for a long time and it is not expected that they will return; also only bonds involving at least one vampire can be reversed, it will not extend to for example ritual couple bonds or the group bonds of shifters.
Enhanced Shielding: Mircea can mask his own power and hold off most Mental and magical attacks to him, so long as the Shield itself is up. However, the shield also holds his own Power in. Therefore, to use any of his powers, he must drop the Shield and work unshielded until he can draw it back up again.
Animal Servant: This is a PARTIAL bond to his Animal to Call, Lorne. There is only two marks on the bond and they do not have the full potential of it as of yet. With the two marks, the servant is granted a resistance to Vampire Powers (but not a full immunity), faster healing and a complete immunity to all of Mircea's vampiric powers. In turn, Mircea can 'taste' food and drink through his servant, feed off his energy, and enter his servant's dreams when Lorne is asleep/unconscious. It should be noted that the Servant eats physically, Mircea can only partake in the sensation of the tastes the other has. It does not provide him actual sustenance.
Weaknesses:
Sexual Abuse - If there is any one thing that will set him off from his usual charming, cool demeanor, it’s the hint of degradation and unnecessary objectification of another that clearly can’t defend themselves. Being he is often a bartender, there are plenty of drunken people that are not in control of their judgement. He has been known to send people to the hospital from trying to mess with a drunkard at his bar.
Protective - To those of his Flock, and the people he has claimed as his in anyway, he does become deeply protective of and often will jump to their defense without much thought of the situation or his safety in the scenario. This does prove problematic when he is the one that needs to be looked after as a prominent figure.
Modesty - When one walks around with the Title of Bishop of a given area, it presents a level of Power and Responsibility to oneself for those one leads. Mircea.... forgets this. Alot. Mircea will often try and handle things himself or skirt away from his hired help to do what he wants in the moment. Often times, he forgets that he is something special and tries to fit in with everyone. This doesn't always work. He's a VERY Public Figure. it makes him a walking target for things like... Hunters, vampire haters.... Christians.
Rebellious Nature - Centuries of being ordered and forced to do things and finally given freedom has made Mircea a bit rebellious about following rules and orders. This not only puts him in contention with a fair bit of local authorities, but it also makes him prone to ignore mentors and higher ranked people's warning, even peers. He is more apt to do the wrong as he sees it than to take the warning. He is also highly prone to ditch his guards against their and his better judgement. Damn the man for keeping him down.... even when he probably should have listened.
Deep Water - It’s not that Mircea fears getting wet or even swimming. He loves it. But there is a certain something about swimming into the true deep that just sets him on edge. His mind will often run wild with paranoia with fear of being dragged into the deep. He knows he can’t drown, but that is part of the fear… All those things in the deep… He’ll stick to pools he can mostly stand in.
Commitment Issues - Mircea is not one to be tied down… ever. He has been known to be the eternal bachelor, never keeping anyone as a staple upon his arm for more than a couple years. His relationships have always known to be more like flings and ‘open’ relationships than anything serious. He’s also been known to drop people like yesterday’s news at the mere mention of seriousness. this make relationship with Mircea complicated as well as finding a means to hold him accountable for others and their relationships. It also makes him not as prone to be upset when he hurts others, which happens to be often.
Relentless Hunter - Whether it be in someone to use, the pursuit of a lover or an enemy, Mircea is not one to quit until he’s won. Even if the odds as far from his favor as they can be, even upon the threat of his own death, once he has something or someone set in his sights, he will not stop until they say Yes and he gets what he wants.
Fear of being alone - while Mircea doesn’t like commitment, he is rarely ever seen ‘alone’. He tends to always have some form of blood doll or guard with him at all times. He even is a lover of pets for this reason. Having to be alone makes him become agitated and overly anxious. It just doesn’t seem to happen. Even with a guard, one can feel alone in a crowd. For him the fear is not about bodies around him. It's about connection to other people. He fears being without that deep connection to others. That he will be utterly rejected and emotionally/spiritually alone. For here, this will come up ALOT. His closest companions are currently not with him and it will make him doubt himself and turn inward more often than not... it will also make him latch onto those in the city that he finds himself connecting too because he needs it. It'll also drive him to be much more visible than perhaps he should be in seeking out these connections.
Rise to Power - Mircea is known as the youngest childer of the Archerbishop Louis, child to DIonysus himself. This proclamation has been recent, however, far more recent than he is in age. The difference in his time being made a vampire to this public admittance leaves many to question Mircea's rise to power over the centuries. Because of the shady ways in it, many non-Dionysians consider Mircea to be a charlatan. He doesn't do well in areas where the Dionysian influence is limited. In fact, the less prominent Dionysians are, the less safe it becomes for himself.
Power Shock - This power shock occurs when breaking bonds. Mircea’s power is strong yet wildly unstable. When breaking a bond, the metaphysical backlash hits him and renders him incapable of causing any other major power until he has rested a day and fed. In the case of a non-vampire to vampire bond, the shock backlash can potentially render his power useless for up to 24hours. In this time, he is as powerful as a regular vampire.
Magical Addiction - Mircea has a predisposition to seek out the blood of the magical to feed from. Their blood gives him a kick to his system that does inhibit his rationalization. Basically, the more he feeds on the magical, the more prone he is to making bad decisions that could lead to self injury or worse.
Cannibalism - Mircea is a not-so closeted Cannibal. This was a desire and love that started prior to him being made a vampire, thanks to his Sire. He is in a constant state of craving for flesh, which often translates to his feverish approach to sexuality. It also makes him dependant on touch and nearness to naked bodies. Given his levels of anger and hunger, the need turns darker. He is fully aware he doesn’t need to eat, but he has been known to consume mouthfuls of raw flesh and meat to carry in his stomach, despite the discomfort just to satisfy his urges. This isn’t something he tells others because… who wants a known cannibal around? He maintains this weakness as long as he holds the 'meat' in his body as well and doesn't have enhanced speed in that time. Least until he finally vomits it all up. He's rebellious though, so he may hold it in just to spite someone telling him otherwise.
Self Esteem - Mircea has an extremely low image of himself, which often makes him prone to forget things like…. Feeding regularly or keeping care of himself over the needs of his Flock or the City. Mircea will push his limits often in this pursuit to gratify and please others because in doing so, he doesn't have to think of himself.
Grudges - You cross Mircea, the grudge he bears against you remains within the conditions. You hurt his heart, he will forever hate you. You hurt his people, he will forever distrust you in regards to his people. Breaking Mircea of this grudge becomes something that can be near impossible to overcome, even for him. He behaves like a frenemy to the people he holds grudges against. especially situational ones. He will actually treat them nice UNTIL the point of that grudge is brought up. Then... all bets are off. He will be insulting, rude and abrasive to them. If they take a means to act upon the point of the grudge, he will even threaten their very life. And if its a strong enough grudge, like one that jeopardizes the safety of someone he has a possessive streak on, he may try and eat them first chance he gets. He doesn't display his cannibalism publicly, but dark alleys or the forest... so lunch.
Feline Distractions: While he holds no power whatsoever over the feline persuasion, there is just something about cats that Mircea finds unbearably fascinating. They are so richly independent and personalities of viciousness and gentleness all to themselves. Domestic, feral or wild. Big or small, if it is in a full feline form, Mircea will get distracted by them in awe for one full post... at least. If he gets favorable responses from them, this distraction will continue. This does include feline Shifters in a quad form. His first reaction will be of joy instead of assessing the danger. It does make him prone if they are meaning to attack him. In addition, he doesn't care to see the felines harmed as he feels they are... just too cool for that. He will have a natural reluctance to harm a cat, stalling when he otherwise shouldn't be.
