Ulysses Armstrong
<Father Gascoigne>
<Father Gascoigne>
Name: Ulysses Armstrong
Age: 53 Before "conversion"
Race: Vampire
Gender: Male
Height: 7'10
Weight: 250 lbs
Hair Color: Grey/white
Eye Color: Red
Identifying Markers: Seems to always wear dirty bandages over his eyes
Starting Planet: Earth
Appearance:
Ulysses is a very tall yet thin man. He is always seen wearing what seems to be extremely outdated vestments of a priest suggesting an ironically holy background. He wears an equally old tattered fedora and what appears to be dirtied bandages over his eyes which seem to give the implication that he’s blind. These bandages however are thin enough to permit him vision, though he’s content to let others believe in his fake blindness. Ulysses is also known to wear a small bell as a necklace for no readily apparent reason. He sports shoulder length grayish white scraggly hair and a beard that runs along his jawline, extending for roughly two inches off of his chin.
Underneath his clothes one could easily mistake Ulysses for a corpse. His skin almost lacks any pigmentation, appearing somewhat grey. His eyes are sunken and despite his corpse like appearance sport a deep red color, perhaps this is why he chooses to wear the bandages? Naturally Ulysses also sports a set of fangs though over time he has learned to conceal them, nearly never parting his lips enough to show off their points.
Bloodfrenzied: Ulysses seems to sacrifice any semblance of humanity, clearly becoming more beast-like in every conceivable way
Frenzied State
Backstory:
Once upon a time Ulysses was a man of the cloth, serving his lord dutifully and never once giving into the temptation of sin. One could say he was the picture perfect priest, that is.. until he decided to help the wrong fellow in need. One night while he was tending to the lands around his church Ulysses spotted what appeared to be a frail woman approaching him. Before long he saw her collapse and naturally rushed to her side to see what was wrong. The woman claimed to have been running from a group of attackers and only asked for a drink. Ulysses pressed to have her come inside but eventually agreed to just fetch her some water. When he turned his back however, he felt a sharp pain in the side of his neck, then an overflowing sense of dizziness as everything faded to black.
When he awoke Ulysses was laying in a coffin, everything seemed normal but he had a strange thirst, one he couldn't explain. After gathering the strength to stand he soon found out that he was in the cellar of what seemed to be an ancient church, perhaps a relic of the world before all of the advances in technology. He ascended to the ground floor and made his way outside. From that point on Ulysses Armstrong seemed to fade from history, he continued to live on through the ever passing years, watching as people he grew to know passed on while he remained. One by one Ulysses would watch as what he would grow to call associates passed, as he refused to develop friendships. Not because he viewed all he met as prey, but because he grew jealous of humanity, envious of their ability to naturally pass from this world.
This envy soon would grow into hatred, and within time Ulysses would grow to despise any mortal being. It was this hatred that would spark a fire in Ulysses' very soul, as before he was content to simply be powerful enough to hunt his prey. Now however, he must become more than just a hunter. He must become the apex predator, show that no mortal being is above him and that they were at the mercy of his insatiable thirst. This goal would take though, and luckily it would appear that Ulysses has all the time in the world.. literally.

Roleplay Example:
Ulysses grinned as he lowered himself to a kneel, he had been following the same man all night up until he finally reached his home. He could hear a family within, what sounded like his wife and likely a daughter or very young son. In truth it didn't matter what they were, in the end they were still prey. He watched from the distance as the father passed by a certain window several times. Once he passed by carrying a set of bowls, how precious.. they seemed to be having dinner. Ulysses slowly approached, beginning to chuckle as his form began to dissipate into an almost invisible mist.
Meanwhile inside of the home the family was gathering at their kitchen table. The daughter watched eagerly has her father passed out the food and his wife sat in silent contentment. It didn't take long before they began to eat. Ulysses heard the father mention something about heat before he approached the window and lifted it open slightly, instantly the stench of the mans blood flowed through the air, almost overwhelming Ulysses but still he remained vigilant. No fun in attacking outright after all..
Within time the man excused himself and disappeared into another room, it was at that point that Ulysses slowly entered the house, rising to the ceiling to minimize the chance of being seen. He fought back the urge to chuckle as the father closed the door behind him and resumed his original form, a few feet behind the mother and daughter. He looked around the kitchen and decided to pick up a small knife and a glass. He then approached the two girls and all in one motion tossed the glass into the air which drew the mothers attention as it clinked off the ceiling. He then drove the knife deep into her daughters throat, any scream she would make silenced due to the wound as he placed his free hand over the mothers mouth and proceeded to catch the glass.
"Ahh.. what a nice family dinner, I'm sure you won't mind if I help myself to something to drink, right?" Ulysses muttered as the woman's eyes snapped to him, and then her daughter. He smiled sadistically as horror filled her eyes and her muffled screams filled his hand. "Shhh.. your husband doesn't know about his new dinner guest yet.. wouldn't want to ruin the surprise." He added as he pulled the knife from the daughters throat, causing her to fall limp onto the table and pressed its edge against the mothers own neck.
He then slowly dragged the blade up her neck and over his own fingers before angling and thrusting the blade between his fingers and into the woman's mouth. He then thrust her head forward and down onto the table, smirking as the tip of the knife was forced through the back of her neck as a result. He proceeded to take the glass and hold it underneath her head, letting blood pool within.
The father meanwhile, having heard a loud thump soon emerged from wherever he had gone, and stared in horror at the scene portrayed before him. His daughter was bleeding profusely from her throat and was slumped over onto the table, as was his wife with a knife sticking out from her neck. Blood was pooling onto the floor and all the while, in the spare chair sat a man with his feet propped up onto the table, a glass filled with a red liquid in his hand. "Now, I know you must really want to scream in either fear, anger or both. And I am sure you really want both me and yourself dead because of this atrocious action.. but before you act rashly, what do you say we settle our differences over a drink?" Ulysses said in an almost mocking tone as he raised the glass to his lips.
The man then reached under his shirt and drew a pistol from the waist of his pants, immediately firing at Ulysses. The bullet pierced the glass, causing the blood within to splatter and cover him and the nearby surroundings as the bullet then entered his mouth. Ulysses simply coughed and out popped the bullet, filling the man with an all new sense of absolute horror, he found that no matter how hard he tried he couldn't even scream for help as he watched Ulysses stand and begin to walk around the table towards him. "Now.. that was awfully rude.. and now the neighbors are sure to call some sort of authorities. You really know how to ruin a mans night."
Finally the father found his voice, screaming out cries of mercy as Ulysses began to laugh, picking the man up by his shirt and opening his mouth wide. The mans screams and cries continued as he saw Ulysses' fangs from the corner of his eye, but soon enough his yelling was silenced as those fangs pierced his neck. After a brief moment of silence Ulysses dropped the mans newly developed corpse onto the floor and turned to approach the front door of the home, but stopped to gaze out of a nearby window. Outside he could see flashing lights and a gathering crowd. "Hehe.. looks like tonight just got a whole lot more interesting."
