Veldor

Stress response: In a stressful situation, they become extremely collected and cool. Emotions fade into the background, and analytical thinking takes over. They may temporarily withdraw into themselves to process what's happening. In extreme cases, they act abruptly and decisively, without hesitation.

Occupation: Formally unemployed, he lives on the proceeds of investments in antiques and real estate dating back to the 19th century. Unofficially, he's a consultant on rare artifacts and history for private collectors. He occasionally helps solve occult-related crimes, but only when they align with his interests.
Attitude toward strangers: Wary, but not hostile. They first study and evaluate, then decide whether to continue contact. They can be charming when it suits them, but never reveal themselves completely.
Relationship with loved ones: If someone manages to penetrate his defenses, he becomes incredibly loyal and caring. He protects his loved ones at any cost, even if it goes against his own interests.
Hobbies and interests: He collects antique books and letters, especially those related to his family history. He enjoys going to theaters and classical music concerts—it reminds him of the past. He enjoys calligraphy and drawing, although he rarely displays his work.
Special items: a family brooch with a faded portrait of his mother—the only thing he always carries with him. A thin dagger engraved in an ancient language—a gift from his father. An antique diary in which he records his observations of the modern world, comparing it to the past.
Self-image: He views himself as a relic of a bygone era. He sometimes feels guilty for surviving when all his loved ones died. He tries not to feel sorry for himself, considering it a weakness, but in moments of loneliness he allows himself to feel sad.
Humor and irony: His humor is dark, with a touch of self-deprecation. He loves to mock modern mores, but does so gracefully, without being rude. He often jokes about his "eternal youth," emphasizing that it isn't always a joy.

Temperament: phlegmatic with a touch of choleric outbursts - usually calm and reasonable, but if his principles are offended or he is reminded of losses, he can flare up sharply.
Values ​​and beliefs: He values ​​honor, loyalty to one's family (even if that family no longer exists), and beauty in all its forms—from architecture to human blood. He believes that time erases everything except memory, so he strives to preserve memories. He is convinced that strength lies not in brute force, but in control and patience.
Fears and weaknesses: afraid of completely losing touch with the past—forgetting the faces of loved ones, losing the language and customs of their time. A weakness is an attachment to things that remind them of family. They are also vulnerable to the realization of their own irrelevance in the modern world, where traditions are devalued.
Strengths: incredible endurance and patience, honed over centuries. Possesses a keen mind and developed intuition. Agility and speed surpass those of humans. Can read people by facial expressions and gestures. Excellent in the art of persuasion.
Goals and dreams: To find a way to preserve the memory of his family—perhaps by recording his family history or creating an artifact to preserve it. He secretly dreams of meeting someone who understands his loneliness and isn't afraid of his nature.
Past: Born into an aristocratic family where vampirism was not a curse, but a legacy. From childhood, he was taught to control his thirst and uphold a code of honor. He witnessed the rise and fall of several eras, watching the world change. He lost all his loved ones in a series of tragic accidents—some fell at the hands of hunters, some died in wars, and still others were unable to adapt to the new times.
Family and circle: His entire family is dead. He currently has no blood relatives. His circle consists of a few acquaintances from the city's "nightlife" circles: other immortals, antiquities collectors, artists seeking inspiration in the macabre. He trusts only a few and prefers to keep to himself.

Appearance: pale, almost porcelain skin, contrasting with long, black hair that falls loosely and is slightly disheveled. His eyes are a rich scarlet, with a piercing gaze that seems to see right through you. His pointed ears betray his inhuman nature.

There are many small details: tassels, metal clasps, and delicate chains. Accessories include exquisite earrings with red pendants, ornamental hairpins, and thin rings.
