Val's health seems to be in constant flux. It's hard for anyone to get a real understanding of his wellbeing at any given moment, due to some intensely complicating factors. Even Val struggles to understand the depths of it- but a vast majority of the time, his heart is beating, his blood remains mostly in his body, and he breathes, sleeps, and eats. That's something, at least.

Val tends to hold himself very upright, sometimes to a detriment, and forgets to loosen up at times, leading his muscles to stiffen, especially in his shoulders. Anyone ever willing to give him a massage has his eternal gratitude, that's for sure.

Val's relationship to eating is very complex and rather messed up. He hates what he is, and hates that he must drink blood to survive. He refuses to ever drink human blood, and feeds as minimally as possible, and only when he must do so to maintain his health- never for pleasure. Thus, he feeds alone, in a bathtub, once every two-three days, drinking roughly 5-6 gallons of animal blood, and then showering off, and disposing of any evidence that he had just been feeding.

Val definitely values getting as much sleep as he can- and is thankful for the rare times he gets to sleep in. He sometimes gets a bit restless, and is plagued by nightmares here and there, but otherwise is a decent sleeper. He does usually sleep best whenever he's with his boyfriend, as this has become his new normal. He does, however, also sleep quite well with close friends and other family members.

Physically speaking, Val's health is certainly odd. Strange things have been cited in medical documents from hundreds of years ago- very inexplicable and concerning things. Nowadays, Val largely seems to be fine, and doesn't recall many of the things cited- so he figures they've worn off, whatever they were. The one strange thing is that his hair is prone to bleeding... which is, indeed, where it gets its red color from. Each strand of hair has a certain amount of blood in it. He's still not sure why that is.

Unfortunately, Val's mental health is a trainwreck. He's undiagnosed, fully, as he has not seen a therapist, or mental health professional. He knows he has some form of severe PTSD, and others around him have speculated that he has ADHD, anxiety, and depression. Beyond that, all he knows is that he's pretty damn messed up.

Val is definitely known to engage in a glass of wine, or a hit or two of weed from time to time. Maybe more, depending on how rough of a night he's having. He does not, however, take any medication. He never has- and he's been told never to do so. He's worried it could result in something very bad for him.

A desire for a world not engulfed in war is what drives Val, ultimately. He does all that he can to prevent senseless killing of one another, and while he doesn't believe in forcing everybody to get along, he just wishes there wasn't an actual global war going on. While this is his current biggest motivator, he is also driven to break free of the responsibilites he's been shouldering his entire life, among other things.

Valentine holds many things close to his chest, out of fear of them hurting others, and out of fear of those things themselves. There are many gaps in his history he still doesn't understand or fully comprehend, but he seems to be getting more answers lately. None of them are good. He fears losing those he cares about more than anything, and all of his other fears stem from that one./p>

Val has excelled in all of his major hobbies, and has done well in the things he never really wanted to do as well. He's won hundreds of equestrian competitions over the years, mostly 3 day events, and is beloved at the school he teaches at by almost every student he has. Despite never thinking himself much of a battle tactician, he's proven to be very competent at it, and whatever the Adairian Church has asked of him, he's also proven to be good at- so far, at least.

Valentine is a firm believer that nothing is ever black and white, there's always complexity to every situation. Sometimes, he can lose sight of that belief, especially in the face of dire circumstance, but he always remembers it when it's most important. He believes that whatever you give to the world, will be returned to you.

Val was raised to be a part of the Adairian Church, a religion with a history dating back thousands and thousands of years. It's unknown exactly how it was started, though there is a story that has been raised to be the truth. The religion mostly centers around an Angel named Adair, signs of the apocalypse, and The Cursed Judgement of Divine Sin being able to harness genesis and stop the end of the world. That's what the priests say, at least.

Valentine had the misfortune of being born into the role of 'Cursed Judgement of Divine Sin', meaning he has been tasked with harnessing genesis and stopping the end of the world. Those around him who have known about his strange and seemingly out of character religious fervour have wondered if this ties to his desperate need to stop the war. He's never outwardly acknowledged it, and becomes extremely uncomfortable when discussing religion with anyone outside of the Church. Needless to say, no one can shake the feeling that there's something very amiss with this whole situation.

Valentine has never killed anyone. He's never minded much when others he loves and cares about do it, because he trusts that it's for the right reasons, but he's not had to, and blatantly refuses to. Aside from that, he's not above breaking the law, again if it's for a good reason. Morality is all relative, at the end of the day, but he just tries his best to be good and kind. That's all one can really do, after all.

Go into details about your character's values here. Why do they have these values? Why do they value one thing over another? Nunc arcu justo, consequat a magna nec, feugiat sodales magna. Nulla mauris diam, vestibulum nec euismod a, viverra sed est. Phasellus diam turpis, eleifend eget neque at, cursus varius ante.

While Valentine doesn't trust the priests, he does trust the scriptures, what he's been raised on, and the things he's come to experience. The more visitations he receives, the more he blacks out, the stronger that pressure in his spine becomes, and the more often he sinks into his subconscious and becomes a passenger, the more convinced he becomes that this is all very real. The more real it becomes, the deeper he sinks into the narrative of the Church.

Val is very polite and gentle in his word usage, always choosing to take a friendly and kind approach to things. He occasionally stutters when flustered, and sometimes has trouble starting his sentences, but once he finds his words, it's smooth sailing from there.

Val always likes to ask people about themselves first and foremost, and engages with whatever they choose to share almost effortlessly. For those on the shyer side of things, he will bring up whatever he perceives could be of mutual interest, or share something he's observed recently. He typically tries to read the other person, and change his way of initiating conversation to match what he sees, to make them as comfortable as he can.

Val often has a quieter laugh, although occasionally he is known to laugh very loudly, particularly when drunk or very excited. He's also a master of insanely nervous laughter, to the point that it can make him sound a little crazy.

Val is not someone who overly swears in normal situations, but if he becomes flustered, swearing is his outlet. He will let out a rapid stream of curse words to release nervous energy. He's also known to using them when he gets upset, or becomes bewildered. In normal speech though, you'll almost never hear him curse.

In addition to struggling to start sentences due to his undiagnosed ADHD, he sometimes has a habit of trailing off sentences in the middle of them, either due to getting distracted or forgetting what he was saying. He also will unintentionally rapidly bounce from topic to topic at times.

Val has a very pleasant voice to listen to. While he primarily sports a New York accent, he will ocasionally slip back into his Romanian one under rare circumstances. He speaks softly, and almost never yells- however, when he's forced to yell, he is surprisingly loud. His voice never booms or growls, but is quite punchy and powerful when he needs it to be. It's definitely got a unique pinch to it, which he's a bit shy about, but can't deny that it gives him a solid uniqueness.

AGILITY

Being a vampire, Val has unbelievable agility, and immense strength in his legs. While his upper body strength can be a bit lacking, his kicks can be incredibly deadly if he wishes them to be. Though he cannot keep it up for much longer than a minute or two, Val can run up to 60mph, and sometimes more.

INTELLIGENCE

Val is incredibly smart, and holds a wealth of knowledge from throughout his life. He's a great problem solver, and a fantastic strategic thinker. He can be full of wonderful advice, and tell you all about things that most people cannot. He is the master of sharing truly fascinating fun facts.

DEMEANOR

Val is well known for being very friendly and sweet, and this gets him far in life. Sometimes, people just need a kind smile, or a soft gesture, and Val's happy to provide that for others, even strangers. He wants to see the world be better, and that's got to start somewhere.

WISDOM

Despite being so smart, Val is not often wise. As a result, he often finds himself in a variety of mishaps, ranging in severity. It doesn't help that his luck is very specific, and he either seems to get very lucky, or very lucky, both often at inopportune moments. Pair this with his lack of wisdom, and you've got a walking chaos magnet.

CONTITUTION

Despite the strength Val carries in his legs, he's actually rather fragile, which again is thanks to being a vampire. His body disagrees with most things that aren't blood, and if you take out his legs, it's easy to completely disable him in a fight. He knows this, and as a result, he doesn't give anyone the chance to go after his legs so long as he can help it.

GULLIBILITY

Unfortunately, Val is very trusting, and not very smooth-tongued. He is prone to trickery and deceipt, and believes people too easily, even strangers. He's so desperate to see the good in everything, sometimes he overlooks the bad, which screws him and others over.

As mentioned before, Val is very passionate about horses, and has been riding since he was very small. He's done activities relating to equestrianism for so long it's become a major part of him, and it's one of the things that makes him happiest. He feels he would be nothing without Fane, the horse gifted to him when he was 15- who is still alive, and almost as old as Val, at that...

Being engulfed in a global war for so long meant Val had to learn to fight. He also inherited a rather terrifying weapon of immense, unknown power, known only as the Cluirvermeist, so much of his fighting revolves around the use of that weapon. That being said, he's decent with a sword as well.

A lot of what is considered historical works of art now are things Valentine grew up around, and knew the artists of. There's few more qualified than him to be an art historian, and he takes a great deal of interest in it. He can identify loads of art just by looking at the style and signature, which is very impressive on it's own! He's also quite good at delving into the meanings of works of art, and peeling away the layers of each piece to analyze them properly.

Though this is not something Val wanted to do, due to his intelligence, he's proven to be very good at being a tactician. His problem solving skills and strategic thinking have proven incredibly valuable to the rebellion, and it's much of his work that has let the rebellion progress as far as it has. That being said, the emotional and mental toll it takes on Val is quite significant, and though stopping is not an option, he sometimes wonders how much more he can give before he breaks down entirely.

Several members of the Adair family have a very special alternate form known as a Divine Beast. All of them can turn into bats, but some have this as well- Val's is that of a large winged quadraped resembling a cross between a fox, a bat, and a cat. Given that he's horse sized, and can fly, he often gives his friends a ride places if they need it, and can use his claws quite well in a fight, if he ever needs to.

Like all vampires, Valentine is capable of shapeshifting. He can't shapeshift into other animals aside from a bat and his divine beast form, but he can shapeshift into other people, though he can never hold it for very long. He can also voice mimic, though once again, only for short periods of time. He can shapeshift parts of his body for longer, and easier, however.

As he was born into the role of Cursed Judgement of Divine Sin, Val has been gifted with the ability to spot the fabled Signs of the Apocalypse. This ability is very anxiety inducing for him, and he's always scared he may miss something, as these things can appear nearly anytime, technically. He really hates that he is the only one who can do this, as sharing the burden could make this even slightly easier on him...
