Profile
A pure blood vampire whose life spiralled out of control because he had no idea what he was. Basically he felt like the best way to get used to it was shutting down and repressing all kind of emotions and anything related to his past. And now he's a murderer, but not the kind of savage psychotic one. He does target his victims sometimes. Meanwhile he doesn't kill as much as people think, he still has a reputation to live up to. Be careful with him, his limit between determination and obsession is very thin.
Make sure to check out his library to know a bit more about what's going on with him !

Alexander was born into the Vodevil pure blood vampire clan, unfortunately his parents were decided to not perpetuate their legacy so they ditched the whole clan and decided to live a normal life. That's proven to be difficult without the help of their wealthy partners, so his parents got deep in debt quickly. Alexander was eventually put into foster care and integrated a boarding school, of course he could still see his parents but seeing his family shatter had actually shaked him in a bad way, especially since he still knew nothing about his true nature. His mother dies when he's 14, after that all relations with his father got severed. He got mentally fragile fairly quickly, suicide attempt, self-harm and “accidents” due to his true nature punctuated his teen years, they were honestly one hell of a rollercoaster. That eventually got committed into a mental establishment at some point when he was 18. It was Melaena who got him out of there and introduced him to the Lair. At that time, he had figured out what he was. After all those years, anger and hatred had grown under his skin and he was definitely determined to use that at his will.

About friendships and relationships:
Friendship:
He's a loner, and that's one thing that's most likely not going to change. Obviously people don't approach him and he doesn't really make efforts to approach people either but in all honesty he's fine with it. That's just part of his coping mechanism, part of him doens't believe in long-lasting friendships, so for him avoiding friendships is a way to avoid getting uselessly hurt.
However if with time and patience you actually manage to befriend him (good luck with that), you'll see you've made a valuable friend. Keram is diligently loyal, and a protector. He'd literally take a bullet or worse for you if he had to. Speaking of which, loyalty is one of his few principles but it works 50/50 for him: if he's loyal to you, he expects you to return it.
Since he's not good with feelings and relations in general, he's not going to show you his appreciation in any particular way, nor is he going to open-up to you but he'll still regard this friendship as extremely precious. Don't ever turn your back on him, especially when he's grown to appreciate you, because once you get on his bad side there's no going back.
Relationship:
Kind of same for friendships, he doesn't believe in long-lasting relationships either so he's been used for one-night stands for a while. But unlike the friendship part, Keram actually has hard-times developping actual romantic feelings for people so yeah, sex is a good compromise. The thing is that he hasn't been in love for a while.
It's not that he lacks self-confidence, he just doesn't get why would someone be attracted to him in the first place. So if someone was to actually show interest in him he probably wouldn't take them seriously.
But once he's past all that, (god knows how) he is incredibly... Devoted to his significant other, like, really. He couldn't refuse them anything, and would do his possible to make them... Happy.
While he still has that unremovable stoic face and still doens't show many emotions, it is clear that being in a relationship is benevolent for him, but he'd have hard times admitting that. Also, he'd be forever thankful to his significant other for actually staying with him, but then he's not going to express that as well... Or at least not explicitly. He can try tho... Try. Same goes for saying "I love you". Also past this point he may actually open up... A little, and only if he feels comfortable doing so, which only happens like once every 3 month.
Basically what he looks for in a relationship/significant other is a strong bond, complicity, on any or all level. He values emotional connection a lot, it's all the more important to him since he has difficulty developing that in the first place. So when you've build that kind of relation, you can be sure he's grown attached to you.
Finally, Keram doens't have jealousy issues, he himself has had his fair share of debauchery lifestyle so he's definitely not going to be invasive or trying to have absolute control over his significant other. He's rather possessive, so... Keep your distance with his significant other or he'll bare teeth, figuratively of course.
/!\ The following contains sex stuff. still nothing explicit.
Sex:
Man or woman, significant or one-night stand... Keram doesn't have any hang-ups about sexuality so if there's anything his partner wants to share or try, he's entirely willing to listen and talk about it, and give it a go. He wouldn't go as far as saying that sex's the most important part in a relationship, but he likes it and it's meant to feel good so why not just be clear about what he and his partner want ? He's really open-minded about all that.
Of course he has kinks, thinks vanilla's boring, rough over soft. Although he dislikes labels, he never says no to some bdsm fun, and actually finds the gear... Interesting, to put it that way. Considering his nature and past-times, it should be said that he enjoys edgeplay but he'd never do it without talking about it with his partner first of course. Also, definitely a top, teaser, and dirty-talker for sure.
