Alexander Hyde Cross (RPC)
Alexander Hyde Cross (prefers to be called Hyde)
Age: 17 (or so he appears)
DOB: January 6
Height: 5'1
Blood Type (as a human): A+
Allergy: Allergic to animal blood; his body rejects it causing vomiting and near paralysis.
Hair Color: Slate, hangs into his face quite some bit.
Eyes: Deep blue, turns pale pink when in blood-lust
Build: Thin to the point of frailty.

Alexander was born to a poor family in the Whitechapel district of London. Near Christmas when he was 5 years old, his parents were killed by vampires. He was taken in at an Orphanage being run the the Order. He was brought in to be trained when he was 10. He was originally intended for administrative work, but insisted on being allowed to do field work. When he was 17, he was sent on his first solo mission; which ended in disaster. He was captured by the vampire whom he was supposed to kill and kept for nearly three months before being turned into a vampire. He was then kept as an (unwilling) companion/lover for almost two years. When he and his creator were leaving London, they ran into a wolf pack, which attacked the pair. Alexander, somehow, escaped while his creator was torn to shreds.

Personality:
In his human life, Alexander was a devout Catholic, however since being forced into becoming a vampire he has since become very depressed; almost suicidal at times. He seems to be in a state of mourning quite often (presumably for his lost humanity). He's kept his manual from his days as a vampire hunter, despite being almost entirely unable even to touch it.

He has a very intense fear of death, but despite this doesn't let himself get enough blood due to his reluctance to take a life.

When he's in a good state, he can be quite lively, chatty and even humorous (although his sense of humor is very sarcastic, and dark, almost bitter). He's very dependent on the people closest to him and wishes he were more independent, but can't figure out how to become more independent.

Alexander is also easily shaken and tends to be a bit jumpy as well. He's extremely stubborn and hides his feelings very often; not wanting to worry others when he's in pain himself. However, when he reaches his breaking point, he's extremely clingy, needy and vocal about his problems.

To the outside world, Alexander seems cold and distant; despite this he's quite warm in his relationships. He views himself as completely damned and beyond redemption.

Vampire Notes:
Alexander is actually a very weak vampire, only having figured out dematerialization (which is an entirely defensive skill) He can't create illusions and isn't physically very strong either; despite his age, he's almost the same as a newborn vampire.

Clothing:
Alexander has a tendency to dress in victorian menswear, wearing black (as a form of mourning.)
