Description "Some love in exchange for blood? I think it's fair".

Janinaaa, I'm terribly sorry for taking so long with this boy! His reference was on my Desktop for a couple of months as WIP, and I decided to touch it only today ;w;
Anyway, it's the boy *Aarok had designed for me [link] . It's funny that whenever she draws my characters, they look menacious and creepy, and here I am with kawaii dragons xD

I know it wasn't intended, but the tail blade is actually sweet, reminds me of Dean's weapon in Purgatory a bit

Information

More used name: Elan

Reason of why he was named so: He managed to kill a big snake as a hatchling (it's a whole story)

Music theme: Beast of Blood by Malice Mizer [link]

Backstory
When he hatched and started the hunt*, he was almost killed by a snake. His parents, when they returned and found out about it, kept him away from danger during his childhood and teen years until he ran away with his childhood friend Möden.
Elan happened to befriend even Asakurei (not without Möden's help), who often rescues him from awkward situations and even just... situations.

Personality
He seems to be sweet and spoiled, but can stand for himself. His parents taught him how to use magic and fight a bit, next he was tutored by Asakurei.
Alisignotte is well-behaved (thanks to his family), sometimes he switches to old words and phrases, which confuses any speaker.

Also he is a big cuddler. The dragon would cuddle with anyone, no matter gender or species. Such a weirdo.

Vampire dragons
This species require blood only when they:
- use magic;
- grow (especially in childhood);
- are not in their native realm (Abeiriat).
Other than that, they don't need it.

They are not harmed by sunlight (only slightly weakened), holy objects, crosses, garlic, etc. They eat the same animals as other dragons, drink the same water.

Almost all vampires are bisexual, Elan isn't an exception.

Abilities:
- good night vision;
- good hearing;
- blood magic (including instant healing upon consuming blood);
- illusion magic (including so-called 'charming');
- telepathy (all vampires are born with it, so they can communite with each other);
- mind control (sometimes, for feeding);
- summoning/speaking with vampire birds and bats.

Weaknesses:
Typical for all other dragon kinds + sunlight, which weakens them, but doesn't kill or burn.

Other facts:
- Asakurei really hates to save his scaled ass;
- Möden tends to send her bird to watch over Elan, because she cares for him a lot, more like a sister despite them not being related.

If I recall something, I'll add.
---
*The hunt: when the vampire dragons hatch, they have to make their first kill (a dove, a mouse, etc), therefore to claim their right to live. Newly hatched vampires are thirsty as hell and equipped with sharp fangs, claws and tail blades. Usually parents leave the eggs in abandoned places like temples, houses, caves, where no predators happen to be present during the hatching and the hunt.

I'm having an interesting time trying to figure out if he is child-like or more dominant and independent. Perhaps somewhere in between. ^^

How doe the telepathy work? Does Elan need the other vampire's permission before entering his/her mind, or can he force his way in regardless?

Yes, somewhere in between (:

For a vampire the telepathy is like a big network. They can receive and send messages within the 'network', sometimes block their mind from intervention. But they have to be close, for example, not further than a few km from each other. The closer they are, the better they hear the message; mates and blood related family members usually break this rule as the distance matters less.
The vampires can easily enter a mind of a non-vampire being (in case with different languages/search of information/etc) if not blocked.

Ah there he is your pretty vampire guy Refsheets really take alot of time, I also do some for my Ocs now and it's just weird how much time they need.

Oh that's mainly, because you always draw the eyes so round and leave out the wrinkles round eyes just look friendly.

He really differs from your other OCs and somehow he has such a naughty touch, that fits well to him in my opinion.
And I like this idea with the hunting ritual, this is somehow like a weakened form of the ritual, that Kaeroth survivied.

Uh... who was Möden again?

RusCSI In reply to Aarok [2013-06-04 12:16:02 +0000 UTC]

They don't usually take much time if I don't procrastinate. Often I draw a few lines, then back to browsering the Web, then colour a piece, etc. If I do it without breaks, it's not that time consuming

There must be something else in the posture, perhaps ^^

Well, I didn't mention it here, but I talked with Vayl about feeding methods, and as adults, vampires prefer to drink a bit, leaving the victim alive (no, they don't turn into vampires xD). And mostly they have to charm the victim. Still need to figure out some things, but that's the idea
The ritual is a bit different, as hatched vampires are thirsty and without a portion of blood they'll die within a few hours. They don't kill each other as their blood isn't good, yet it had happened one or two times in other clans. The parents usually check the place for enabling the survival of all the hatchlings as they never have more than one or two and mate quite rarely.

Oh, this girl [link] (in her childhood)

His parents tried to marry him, but he refused and later ran away, so I don't think he seeks one atm
