Backstory: Victor grew up in Moonridge as an ordinary human if not seen as a little odd due his habit of disappearing into the woods at night and bringing home injured animals, He spent most of his childhood exploring forests, rescuing animals, and getting into harmless trouble. He originally wanted to become a park ranger, though at the age of twenty-four he was critically injured during a hunter attack on Moonridge's borders Victor was critically injured and a vampire offered him a choice, die or be turned. Victor chose to live but the vampire who turned him died shortly shortly after leaving Victor to figure out vampirism largely on his own, he struggled immensely the first couple of years, but rather than become bitter about it, Victor developed a strong sense of responsibility regarding his vampirism, started managing his own hunger through synthetic blood, was careful of how he interacted with people, he doesn't see it as a gift or a curse, just something he must live with.

If Victor cares about someone, he won't constantly ask if they still love him. Instead, he'll ask if they've eaten, if they've slept, or if they're taking care of themselves. He shows love through reliability, attentiveness, and quiet acts of care.

LOVE LANGUAGES Primary Love Language: Acts of Service Victor expresses affection by helping. He notices small details about people and remembers them.

Examples: • Replacing a broken porch light • Bringing food when someone is sick • Fixing a flat tire • Dropping off coffee • Helping with practical problems • Checking in after a difficult day
