Overview
Kaleva is a very large, ancient vampire, having lived for nearly a millenium since ancient times. He originally belonged to a family of architects, who have built some of the largest structures in Finland, his homeland. Sometime after the great majority of his family is destroyed, he is turned into a vampire and the last of his race is preserved in this way.
Appearance Notes
He has slit like pupils similar to some reptile's. He prefers loose, open clothing.
History
Kaleva belonged to a family of architects. He studied and learned their techniques and inherited their building abilities. Among his relatives, he was not particularly extraordinary, but was adequate enough as an architect. When he was about 16, his family was sought after and persecuted for refusing Christianity. His family fled with him, but were unable to save themselves. He somehow survived and hid on an island. There, he spent the next 10 years building a very large castle. He was very lonely because there was no one else who lived there except a few other animals. He was eventually discovered by a vampire, and turned. He later left the island where he developed his newfound abilities to help him build castles more efficiently. Later, he is consulted by other vampires to build castles for them, who witnessed his skills and were impressed. He obtains more experience with his newfound powers in building these castles. Kaleva eventually obtains enough experience that he decides to build his own castle. This castle is very magnificent, with over thousands of chambers and lesser rooms in just the main building itself, with well constructed spires littered all over the front and back portions of the castle, beautiful courtyards, and strong defenses built into towers and equipped with projectile firing devices. Modifications and additions are added to the castle over time, during Kaleva's travels. The castle, despite its size, is mostly empty, with very few servants and vampires living in it. The castle was built for himself and his partner. His partner, unfortunately, dies before the castle is about to be completed.
Skills & Abilities
Languages
His native language is Finnish, from his homeland. Throughout the years, his flagship castle has ended up in many places in Central Europe, making it necessary for him to learn German. He has almost no knowledge of English at all, his encounter with Friederich being very brief, and not having enough time to learn it off of him.
Architect
As he belonged to a family with a very strong background as architects, he inherited their skills and learned their ways of designing and creating buildings. Because his family's style was to build large buildings, he had the knowledge required to create very large structures, while at the same time, studying various designs. As a vampire, he also had the luxury of time and would move his flagship castle to different places all over the world to study and learn their architecture and designs. As a result, he has access to a very wide range of techniques and designs, making him the only vampire architect to be able to build the large castles that he makes, that are both sturdy and beautiful. Many of these castles have survived many centuries, some receiving only minor scratches in the middle of wars.
Builder
Owing also to his ancestry, he has inherited the monstrous size and strength passed down through his family that allows him to build these castles in significantly less time than it would take for a regular carpenter to do so. While this has become less necessary due to having access to magical abilities, he initially used his great strength to build things with his hands until he became proficient enough with magic to do so with merely imagination.
Telekinesis (Earth) Magician
As an Obervampir, he has proficiency in all basic spells all vampires have access to, and additionally the ability to move and manipulate objects with just his mind. As an architect, Kaleva finds this ability useful, as he can merely just imagine a design and recreate it in a matter of seconds on a slab of stone, or any other material that happens to be nearby. He doesn't often use this ability directly on enemies, preferring to use them for constructing buildings, or digging large boulders, clumps of dirt or anything else from the ground as a crude means of defense or projectiles to be hurled at enemies. Because his ability is typically used on earthy materials, either for buildings or for combat, he is less proficient at using his telekinetic abilities on anything else that isn't earth based.
Void Magician
As a void magician, Kaleva is capable of moving very large buildings through void space. Because of the size of the castles, this is actually a very huge accomplishment, as it takes a great deal of skill to be able to move such structures through void space. His void spells are so strong that he is able to move his flagship castle through them. His flagship castle is the largest structure he has ever built. Like his telekinetic ability, Kaleva doesn't really use this ability for much else besides transporting buildings, and often prefers not to use this ability in combat. He often uses his void magic in conjunction with his telekinetic magic, where he makes quick, makeshift structures out of the earth, and moves it into void space to avoid detection for periods of time. He also uses this void space to store prototypes of his own buildings, and takes them out of the void space when he needs them. He has all kinds of structures stored in the void space, to be used when appropriate. Some structures include a small catacomb when far away from home, a large theater for entertainment, a tower for defense and scouting, and even prison cells of varying sizes for capturing certain enemies.
Dragon Familiar
Kaleva's familiar takes the form of a dragon or lizard. He can transform into a dragon, and breath fire. Because of its large size, he only rarely does this when he needs to scout out an area, travel very far away or fight against large enemies. He can also summon a dragon instead, of varying sizes and for different purposes. The smaller dragons are typically smarter, and more useful for helping Kaleva with architect plans and designs, and thinking up combat strategies. He also summons them to deliver mail. The larger dragons are reserved for delivering larger packages.
Demonic
In his demonic form, Kaleva is several times stronger physically, and the range and power of both his telekinetic and void spells increase. He is noticeably more aggressive in his demonic form, using more variants of his telekinetic abilities on things other than earth based objects, and he freely uses his void spells to swallow his enemies whole. The power of his void spells are so great that he can move multiple buildings through void spaces at once.
Creation & Conception
Kaleva was originally created for a defunct vampire RPG. The inspiration for his history and nationality came from the mythological figure, Kaleva from Finnish folklore. In the original mythology, Kaleva was a giant. To keep with his mystical background and resistance of Christianity, Kaleva was made into an ancient vampire.
