F. Character Overview

Rajst is a full-blooded vampyre that is over 7500 years old. Most of his life he's spent his time as an assassin-for-hire, usually hunting down criminals, smugglers, and other targets that he is paid to kill. However, it is rumored that Rajst will accept any type of contract, so long as the price is right.

Rajst loves to hunt (specifically prey that have intelligence) and takes great pride in his trade. He is secretive, reclusive, and cruel to those he doesn't know or those that aren't also a vampyre, which inadvertantly helps him continue with his trade.

G. Ability

Rajst is an excellent swordsman and is skilled in many, many forms of martial arts. Though he lacks any true magical powers, his Assamite blood allows him to disappear from sight for limited amounts of time whenever he chooses. Rajst takes great pride in his skill in stealth and subterfuge over brute force or magic.

H. Physiology

Rajst, at 7500 years old, is older than most vampyres that he encounters. Despite his age, he looks to be as young as a 24 year old human male. He has long sable hair that reaches between his shoulder blades. The vampyre stands at 6'2" ands weighs over 260 pounds (pure muslce, of course).

I. History

7500 years ago, the vampyres Andropov and Tanya Kalizkhanavar, assassins of the clan Assamite, gave birth to their oldest child, Rajst. His other siblings included Vladimir, Dmitri, Sasha, and Alexi. Rajst was trained as an assassin by his father, made his first kill at the age of 6, and by the age of 14 Rajst had already begun his living as a professional killer, assassin, and hitman. As he got older, his skills with swords, shurikens, daggers, darts, and unarmed combat increased.

However, tragedy struck the Kalizkhanavar family when Rajst was only 400. A nearby Paladinic Order had taken interest in the nearby family of vampyres, and, with the help of crusaders and vampyre slayers, declared war on all nearby vampyre clans, including the Assamites. A few days later, five paladins, twelve clerices, and dozens of crusaders and vampyre slayers raided the Kalizkhanavar lair and killed every vampyre they found. None were left alive...

When this occurred, however, Rajst was busy trying to find out how to assassinate his target, who happened to be the Archbishop of a powerful temple. After the Archbishop had been assassinated and Rajst received his payment, he returned to his home only to find his entire clan had been killed. Angered, the vampyre decided to track down the killers. Rajst managed to trace the raiding party by following the scent of blood from the wounded troops, and, in the dead of night, slashed the throats of every member of the party whilst they slept, including the five paladins.

For the next 7100 years, Rajst's life has been mostly nomadic and secretive. He slips from clan to clan, realm to realm, killing his targets and moving on with life. What little he does reveal, however, hints that he once had a lover and that she gave birth to a daughter. Other than that, he refuses to acknowledge anymore than he has to.

J. Mannerisms

Rajst is secretive and reclusive at best. He engages in conversation only whenever it suits him, and he works to no timetable except his own or his potential employers. He enjoys tracking and killing his targets through stealth, but he will not hesitate to fight an open war.

K. Properties of Choice

Rajst wields a pair of black katanas and black wakizashis, both forged with black, nonreflective mithril blades. He also has twenty black, nonreflective mithril shurikens that he uses whenever he can't get in close for his kills. However, above all else, Rajst prefers to use his vampyric claws and teeth for close range, personal kills.

L. Sociology

Rajst rarely interacts with others besides vampyres and his employers. During the few times that he does engage in conversation, it is usually a short conversation that is to the point.

It is rumored that Rajst once had a lover of the Nosferatu clan who gave birth to his daughter before she was killed by a freelance paladin. Other than that, Rajst has no close friends or known enemies.
