First Impression

Lyan is almost unapproachable. Almost. He stands in the spotlight, even moves around in it with the cofidence of a superstar. Every bit of him, while not perfect, seems intentional. It doesn't take years of talking to him to notice that he has a strong personality and is quite knowledgable about many different subjects.

Yet, for all his grand mannerism, he remains without judgement when approaching someone new. He's the type that strikes a convesation with the quiet kid and that can make a friend out of them. People don't feel judgement when speaking to him, even when he is at his most successful. It is his curiosity and interest in others that enriches his life and that made him into the person he is: an idealist at heart.

Interests

When it comes to hobbies, he seems to be a flexible being. While he does have a constant and steady passion for sewing, he tries his hand at many others, making him a jack-of-all-trades that fairs well in most, if not all, creative situations. He is at his best when he is learning, and addicted to new knowledge.

But his interest always circles back to people. He wants to know about them, and learn through them, even if he is now older than most of people (humans) that he meets on a daily basis. He is not intrested in drama, in fact he'll withdraw from those that spread it like they have caught a sickness, but he does like listening and being there for others.

Ideals

As mentioned before, Lyan is an idealist and a people person. He values humaine ways of going through life and creating the least amount of pain for everyone around him. He sometimes struggles to reconsiliate his actions and his high standards and, when that happens, can be hit with bouts of self-destructive depression.

Lyan also values independance and resolving one's own problems on their own - but not to the point where he is above asking for help.

Strength

While getting to know Lyan, there will be very little surprised - or at least, few surprises of the bad type. That is his way of being honest, and his consistency is very appreciated by his closest friends. On top of that, his large palet of abilties, his knowledge and his ability to chat up anyone he likes makes him welcome in most circles.

He often acts as a counterbalance to his more chaotic friends, or helps them accomplish even more chaos than what they would have accomplied on their own - depends on the day, really.

Weaknesses

Lyan's greatest weakness is the secret he keeps for himself and his closest friends: that he is, in fact, more prone to fall victim to his monstruous side than most vampires are. He often tries to sublime it through art, sex or whatever is available to him at the moment, but sometimes it is too hard to contain. He has come close to killing people before, driven by pure bloodlust, and he remembers those instances with great regret. He tries his best to deny that he is struggling a lot of the time, but that doesn't stop the beast from striking when he least expects it.

Apart from that, he tends to assume the best from people, especially if he has befriended them, and might overlook some of their flaws even when they are right under his nose. That surprising naivity has bitten him in the ass more than once but he refuses to adopt a more jaded view of life.

Glamour
All vampires keep the appearance that they had on the day of their death... unless they have a specific power that allows them to change it. Lyan has such a power and has already used it to change himself to his liking. He could, with age and practice, extend such changes to other vampires, although such changes would slowly revert considering his current level of skill.

Augemented Sense
Lyan is a very sensitive creature, always aware of what is happening around him. His senses are so sensitive that he can even percieve things that are not supposed to be there - ghosts, traces of magical residual energy, and even traces in the blood of a human. If he's alert, nothing sails past Lyan.
