![]() SHIN YONGSEON
TRAITS
- charming - educated - confident - cunning - opportunistic - distrustful HISTORY
An old soul in a young man's body. Yongseon has always known the value of his body. From a young age - too young an age - he was selling himself to survive. With an absent father, a dying mother, and his brothers and sisters to feed, he had no choice. He was popular, at that, but he didn't see much of the earnings. He was turned when he was just 22, by one of his patrons that decided he couldn't not have him, forever. And, well. That changed everything. Becoming a vampire was, for Yongseon, like he'd opened his eyes for the very first time. Through cunning schemes and the grooming of his sire, he took over the brothel he'd worked in for years, and slowly, over time, turned it into a den, a private house for vampires to come in to feed, discreetly, and relieve their basest needs. As his fortune grew, he kept his family fed, and cared for, even if they thought him dead. His sire, though, as time went on, started thinking that Yongseon was getting too big for his britches, and set off to take him down a few pegs, using their bond to bring Yongseon to his knees. And it worked, for a while, until Yongseon broke through, killed his sire, and moved on, pretending he hadn't loved him. He kept growing his empire. A network of vampires dens across the US, that were prosperous thanks to their discretion, rules, and luxury. That was, of course, until the war, which wiped them all, one after the other, until Yongseon was left with nothing but a frozen bank account, and a hunger for revenge. POWERS
- Supernatural strength and speed - Glamor: he can disguise himself to look slightly different - Enhanced hearing and sense of smell - Immortal - Enhanced healing - Thralls: he can push at someone's desires and will, making them more willing and inhibited - Venom: his fangs are coated in venom that can induce a range of reactions in the person he's biting (from itchy to horny)
Name: Shin Yongseon
Age: 225 Height: 6'1'' Frame: Lithe but muscular
Yongseon isn't unassuming. He knows who he is, and what he looks like. He would rather be seen in ostentatious clothing and jewels than in jeans and t-shirts, even if he does appreciate those in his own private time. But he strives to present an image, one that is dark, full of leathers, furs, and gold chains. WEAKNESSES
- Decapitation
- Staking - Prolonged sunlight - Food (anything that isn't blood) - Churches
Contrary to popular belief, garlic and crosses won't have any kind of effect on Yongseon. It might make him laugh? Cute, really. Sure, he doesn't like anything holy, but touching a cross won't make him burn. He can also sustain some sunlight, but anything prolonged is a danger. Food - solids - if he consumes it, can make him very ill, as his digestive system does not know how to process it anymore. But, generally, he is very, very hard to kill. |
