Face Claim || IC Name: (Bang Chan) || Jong Ahn

Vampire

Human || Vampire age: 23 || 2120

Clan: Hikage

Position: Leader

Short Bio: Who he is and who he was are two entirely different people. Immortality tends to change a person. In life, he was a brother, a son, a lover, and friend to all; in undeath, he's a leader, a fighter, a schemer. The gods never saw fit to give him peace, so now he has chosen to make his own solace. If that happens to be by draining blood from evil humans and bathing in it ritualistically? Well, so be it.

POV: 3rd

After living for 2120 years, he has learned to set boundaries and expectations first, and judgements second. Jong knows what he wants, and won't hesitate to take drastic measures to get it. Though some of the ancient vampires that he has known would look down upon him for being too "soft," Jong does not see people as mere pawns to do his bidding. Loneliness had threatened to drive him feral in his early un-life, and only when a kind soul reached out to pull him out of despair did he avoid spiralling into insanity. His warm heart has remained mostly untainted through the millenia, but he has learned to guard it more carefully after a betrayal that nearly cost him everything. With nothing but time, he spent centuries living in the wilds of every nation he roamed, getting to know the land. He is an expert in foraging and wilderness survival with a specialty in mushrooms (specifically the psilocybin kind.) A month-long mushroom journey opened his soul to the universe, and allowed him to see a purpose in his indefinite existence: to use his powers to better the world. While he has learned to live in peace with life around him, he will not hesitate to take the life of someone evil. If a human threatens war, preaches hatred, or incites violence, he will bathe in their blood.
