Basic Info


Forever Homed

Species:

Human turned Kanu Vampire (alternative form is a bat)

About Species:

Near-immortal, undead, blood-drinking vampires using blood magic created by mages many ages ago. Kanu Vampires possess minor shapeshifting abilities (original form, vampire form, animal form, and anywhere in between), along with increased strength, stamina, hearing, sense of smell, and immune system, but are weak to elemental magic. These vampires have blood that is appealing to others of their kind, and often (but not always) are territorial. They also happen to be sterile.

Profile


 

The Weeping Man



Hernando Salazar ("-Or simply Nando, if you like!" he would cheerfully tell you) is an incredibly outgoing and talkative individual with nearly everyone he comes across. Possessing a daring, blunt, and sometimes charming nature, he can either befriend people easily by inserting himself in their business, or simply drive them off for the same set of reasons.

Nando is a human turned into a vampire, and was a pirate until his death. He was later resurrected by a powerful devil.
Despite the seeming nature of vampires, pirates, and devils, he's mostly harmless and would rather just compare adventures or talk about the lovely things in life.

 



Extra notes--

- Probably has tattoos of some variety. Most likely possible locations: shoulders, back, thighs. (Something nautical? Or cute like lilies.)

I can dim the lights and sing you songs full of sad things
We can do the tango just for two
I can serenade and gently play on your heartstrings
Be a valentino just for you


Don't stop me now
I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball
Don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time
Just give me a call

I am looking for freedom
In the wild eyes of the dancing girls

Daisies to push through the floor
And I wish plant life would grow all around me
So I won't feel dead anymore

It's not your eyes
It's not what you say
It's not your laughter that gives you away
You're just lonely
You've been lonely too long
