Alaric Daren Vaelen

Personality:

• Disposition:
• Emotionally guarded to an extreme; expresses through action, not words
• Speaks in clipped sentences, often avoids eye contact when not in combat
• Tends to stare blankly when overwhelmed by emotion rather than react outwardly
• Moral Compass:
• Operates by a strict, self-imposed code: "Protect the innocent. Punish the guilty. No hesitation."
• Refuses to kill humans—even if they protect vampires—unless forced in self-defense
• Internal World:
• Suffers from unresolved PTSD and survivor’s guilt; haunted by images of his family
• Keeps people at arm’s length to avoid forming attachments
• Genuinely compassionate but expresses it through silent protection, anonymous aid, or intervention from the shadows
• Hyper-aware of betrayal; hard-earned trust is nearly impossible to reclaim if broken
• Habits:
• Doesn’t sleep more than 3–4 hours at a time—prefers brief power naps in secure environments
• Constantly scans environments; avoids turning his back to open doors or windows
• Watches others talk as if studying for inconsistencies or signs of deception

Background:

• Incident Zero:
• At young age–his entire family was massacred during a vampire-led purge disguised as a home invasion
• Hidden supernatural war spilled into civilian life; Alric’s family were “collateral damage”
• Aftermath:
• Pulled from the ruins by an old hunter—trained in off-grid survival, vampire physiology, and modern combat
• Now:
• His old trainer was eventually murdered by vampire sympathizers inside a corrupted agency
• Alric went dark—resurfaced years later as a lone operative, targeting vampire enclaves in metropolitan cities
• Has dismantled four major vampire cells across North America and Europe using tactical raids, data leaks, and urban assassination

Combat Proficiency:

• Primary Weapon:
• Custom-forged katana with UV-emitting edge and silver core; tech built into the hilt for voltage surges against undead targets
• Secondary Arsenal:
• Compact firearm loaded with UV rounds
• Silver-etched throwing knives
• Combat Style:
• Close-range tactician with speed-focused movement; fast in, fast kill, vanish
• Uses stealth over brute force—prefers to dismantle security
• Adept in Krav Maga and Kali for disarming enemies and redirecting aggression

Psychological Profile:

• Trauma Response:
• Hyper-vigilant and defensive at all times; leans into corners in rooms, avoids emotional conversations
• Often experiences silent flashbacks triggered by smells (like burning wood or blood)
• Tends to self-isolate after missions, unable to bear emotional closeness
• Worldview:
• Believes the world is asleep to its true threats, and it’s his duty to protect it quietly
• Despises vampire apologists or those who claim coexistence is possible
• Sees every encounter as a potential deception—keeps files on everyone he interacts with
