CHARACTER JOURNAL: dandy_step
NAME: Slayer.
AGE: Multiple centuries (300-400).
FANDOM: Guilty Gear.
PICTURE: Here.
HISTORY: Slayer has walked the mortal world for an obscenely long time, a blessing of his blood. Slayer's a vampire of the non-stereotypical variety, possessing all the benefits and few of the weaknesses. He's always been interested in the going-ons of humanity, starting his activities early on. Slayer kept tabs on the criminal underworld throughout the ages, watching humanity evolve into what it is today. Starting with a rather successful assassin's guild partially responsible for dozens of big-name murders, he retired from the guild to see how it would manage on its own. Within a dozen years it collapsed in on itself from internal strife, much to Slayer's dismay and disgust. Subsequent organizations repeated the process of rising to near legendary status, only to fall long and hard upon the founder's strange departure. As humanity's methods changed, so did Slayer adapt to the situation, up until he met a certain organization known as the Mafia. He quickly rose in their ranks as a brain and as a formidable assassin, before once again growing bored and 'retiring'. As the world plunged into disaster, Slayer merely moved with the tide and watched, taking up residence in New Sanctum. Recently he has grown extremely intrigued in the heavy corruption city-wide, investigating purely for the sake of investigating.
PERSONALITY: Slayer, to be blunt, is a cocky, arrogant, witty, self-absorbed bastard with every right to be so. He is a brutally intelligent man, knowing almost everything that goes on around him with frightening ease. He has a certain taste for haiku, possibly out of a mere love for the romantic, no doubt a patron of dozens of arts. He regards humans with an extreme sort of curiosity that one would probably find in a cat with a new toy, knowing full well he's superior but holding no disdain whatsoever. Despite his seemingly old age, Slayer absolutely loves to fight simply for the thrill and the intimacy one has with an opponent, almost regarding it like a dance. As an arrogant, cocky bastard, Slayer is one of the most level headed individuals one can ever meet, having almost infinite patience (considering his age, he has to) and a matching temper, only remotely showing anger when a threat to his wife Sharon is present.
POWERS/COMBAT SKILLS: The usual vampiresque stuff. Extreme strength, flight (with aid of his cloak which changes shape at will), and extreme resilience (he can be hurt, but it takes a lot for him to really care/notice). Self-taught hand-to-hand style.
EXTRA: Has a wife named Sharon (also immortal), and the murderer of Chipp's teacher (but don't tell Chipp that).
IN CANON: Slayer in canon is not a far cry from the alteration. A cocky, arrogant, romantic vampire that likes to keep tabs on humanity for the sake of just keeping tabs. He ran the Assassin's Guild before retiring it to Zato-1, then returning to clean up the mess created by his successor's murder. He knows a disturbing amount about the Post-War Administration Borough and their goals, but doesn't quite care for telling anybody unless it might make things more interesting.
