Victor Mazov

[mysteriousoldguy]

Name: Victor Mazov
Age: 998
Gender: Male
Race: Vampire
Sub Race Human.
Appearance:

Affiliation: Mazov.
Weapons: Strength.
Magic/Special abilities:
He is a expert in the use of Ice magic, able to cast it freely, growing or dissipating it at need, but still requiring time to use the higher quality spells. He is working toward Master level. He has rudimentary control over water
Completely inhuman strength.
Tough skin. Like hardened leather.
Strengths:
Ice magic is second nature to him. He has always had an affinity for it.
He tortures people for fun, and is very good at it.
He has lived for quite a while, and has picked up a knowledge of tactics and cities.
Weaknesses:
His skin is less resistant to the sun that other vampires, which is why he wears a full-body-covering set of clothes.
He'll burn like a dry log if set on fire, unless he can freeze himself in time.
He is very blood-hungry, and likes to eat often, if he does not eat blood every couple of days, he is liable to begin going feral and beast-like. Which curtails his magic considerably.
History:
Victor is an old and respected member of the Mazov Clan of vampires. He is also one of their more reliable hunters. Not much is known of his history, as he has worked hard to have it erased. The passage of time has worked with him, obliterating all mention of a small town in the Ice Kingdom, destroyed by bandits, who vanished one-by-one, several years later.
As a hunter, he made a deadly name for himself. A small rhyme even exists, told initiates of vampire Clans, or to those vampires that seemed likely to cause problems.

Victor Mazov, Victor Mazov
is not a man you want to meet,
He'll freeze you from your shoulders,
to the bottom of your feet.
He'll suck your blood, and drink you dry,
Until it clouds your vibrant eye.

He'll break your fingers, and your toes,
and then your legs and arms.
Never falling victim to sword,
wealth,
or charms.

And when your corpse lies still,
and the sun does rise above,
You'll be found with a note,
the words written hereof;

My name here is Victor,
and tonight I've made my kill.
You'll find no trace nor scent,
but try I'm sure you will.
Be wary ye, who read this note,
and pass the message on.
'Be careful ye of Victor.
Because he's there,
and then you're gone.'



He has hunted Kieran for the past few decades, the werepire narrowly evading his grasp. They have bother develop a hatred for each other, and Victor is not one to let a hatred go unfulfilled.

Tonight, he found Kieran.

Destruction is his plan.

Alright, after reviewing it with some of my friends in the RPing business, who I will leave anonymous, I have noticed a few parts in your bio that will need more clarification. Let's begin the assessment:

Okay, first of all, his magical skill is way too high. For example: The Harrowed's character; Raven, hasn't managed to master his gravity magic yet and he's over twice this guy's age.

Second, you need to be clear on how tough his skin is, we can't compare it to anything with the description you gave us.

Third, ice magic being second nature... agreeable, but only for relatively small, simple stuff. Freezing any fluid not being used in a living being (apart from maybe an ooze) is fair, as may be forming ice spikes that shoot from the ground from the ambient moisture in the air or other practical skills (I'll be checking said practical skills to keep them reasonable). Anything more complicated, like freezing someone solid or encasing someone in a block of ice is going to take up some of his concentration.

Fourth, Freezing himself to offset the burning... He can't do that instantly. He'd still get burned, but he can stop the damage from going beyond maybe second degree burns from normal fire. Trust me, pain really hurts one's ability to concentrate or focus, especially on magic (I've had small drops of melted solder metal land on my skin and leave some nasty burning sensations that last for a long while, it's very distracting and painful to boot).

Finally, you should tone down the reputation just a bit. He's reputable sure, but not really to the degree that you're showing.

[mysteriousoldguy]

Okay, I've toned down the magic skill.

Defined the toughness of his skin. Like oak wood.

I've placed him at expert level, working toward Master.

For freezing himself, I thought more toward freezing himself in a block of ice if a burning building is going to collapse on him. Not fireballs that take several seconds to hit.

As for reputation, I'll take out the part of it being told to small children, but it would be known to some old vampires, and told to the initiates of the Mazov Clan and perhaps several others.

As for his reputation, I would believe it would be mostly vampires who looked to be problematic who were told the rhyme. Therefore, his reputation would only be known by vampires old enough to have hired or met him, or those who were likely to cause problems, and become targets. So his reputation would not be widespread among human or regular vampires.

[Arin]

Well, oak wood is still fairly strong, the best I could allow is hardened leather, nothing more.

Expert level is good, but be mindful I'll be monitoring how powerful his spells will be.

If he's frozen in a block of ice, wouldn't that risk shattering his body as well?

Also, I've overlooked his inhuman strength, how strong are we talking here?

[mysteriousoldguy]

Alright, hardened leather it is.

I expect he'd leave a little pocket of air around him in the ice, so, really, its more like forming a shell of ice.

As for the strength.....

Strong enough to catch a sword bare-handed. Strong enough to catch a maul with both hands, with some effort.

He's strong enough to be able to divert a tree falling on him, but not enough to catch it outright.

..................

Best example would be as strong as an ogre, or an adolescent Minotaur.

Okay, after some debate with others, he's finally approved, But remember to stick to his approved settings.
