Second Verse same as the first!

No that wasn't it...

Second Character! That's it.

This is Kristi (inara's mun) bringing you a little known character from a series of YA books called The Morganville Vampire books by Rachel Caine. This guy is Myrnin. He's a very, very old vampire who has fits of crazy. He's also a genius, when he's not insane. It was the reason he was turned. Myrnin eats people but he doesn't kill them. He prefers fresh but will eat bottled/bagged/etc. When he's sane, he's relatively harmless. In general he believes that vampires should protect their food. Otherwise there won't be any food. When he's having a fit...the best option really is to get away. He can usually feel them coming on and he'll warn anyone in the vicinity to leave now.

He's like most vampires in the aspect that he can't really go out in the sun. However, he is old enough that if he wears a coat, wide brimmed hat and gloves he can take a brisk walk from one place to another without much more than a bad sunburn. Crosses and other holy objects don't bother him. Garlic is yummy and he can eat. He just doesn't very often. He's outgrown the desire to be human again. He's sarcastic and dry and teasing.

He'll be finding a place to set up a lab and he'll begin his experiments/work on building a computer that can make portals within the city (this was his life's work in the book). Of course it took him about 30 years to do build the first one so don't except it to happen soon. He will also be looking for an assistant to help him.

I'm really looking forward to playing him with you guys!
