History: http://abrahamlincolnvampirehunter.wikia.com/wiki/Henry_Sturges_%28novel%29
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_American_Vampire
- Henry is coming from the island game of Amat, per this game.
Personality: Henry Sturges would always call himself a gentleman first, a murderer second. While not born to the nobility, he always had a heroic, even noble soul. One of the volunteers, along with his wife, to travel to a new country as part of the Roanoke colony, Henry has never been afraid to try new things, to expand his horizons.
In his time evolved himself into a scholar, an admirer of science and what it could do for the world, and a warrior in his own right. Yet he has never lost that noble streak, which has been both a blessing and a curse. It blinded him to the madness of his adopted daughter and lover, Virginia, and yet it earned him the love and respect of Abraham Lincoln, his dearest friend and companion.
In that aspect, Henry has grown as his country has grown, from a ragged victim to a vampiric attack, to an American secret agent of world renoun, fighting in both world wars. Above all things, however, he is a survivor. He has survived the lost of the three main loves of his life - his wife Edvina; Virginia Dare; and of course Abraham Lincoln. He has survived Crowley's insane tutelage, and three hundred years of American history, from the Revolutionary War, through Vietnam. He has survived even his own self-loathing of his vampiric abilities, using them instead to first protect the Indian clan that took him and Virginia in, to the entire nation of the United States.
He is a vicious killer, he makes no qualms about that. While he has used his abilities for the greater good, he cannot deny those abilities make him dangerous. He has learned an air of detachment through them - emotionally distancing himself as much as possible from making connections. He has watched many friends come and go, and has had to harden himself against the ravages of time. Yet even he falls prey to the weaknesses of affection - his inability to kill Virginia for so long, and bringing Abraham over as a vampire, so he would not have to live without his friend. To that end, he has seen the folly of it, as Virginia killed Abraham right in front of his eyes, and he was forced to kill her in kind.
In all these things -he has learned through love and loss, triumph and defeat, that he is a protector. If not of the America that stands today, but the ideals on which it was founded - the freedom of choice. Every thing he has done has been a choice he has made, and he will fight and die for the right for everyone to choose their own fate, whatever it might be. Choice is what made him the man - the vampire he is today, and despite everything ... he does not regret that.
Powers/Abilities/Talents: Henry is a vampire - with the strength, speed and vicious hunting ability of such creatures. He is not a pretty, sparkly vampire however - his face turns into a maw of teeth and his eyes go pure black when he is hunting. He also has over four hundred years of study under his belt - from engineering, to music, history, and of course war-fare. He was also a blacksmith in his time, so he is familiar with metallurgy - he makes and forges his own weapons most of the time.
AU/CR AU Addendum: Henry came from the island of Amat before this game, so in that time he has learned to start caring for people again. He will have a softer edge to him because of that, except when there are threats made to people he cares about, and then he will become even more vicious. With his abilities back, he will also be more cautious around normal humans, and will look for ways to peacefully feed if he can, as opposed to hunting.
What 4 items would you like your character too have with them on the island during their stay? Henry would like to bring a violin with him (a gift from his lover, Victor), a set of .44s with silver bullets, his sunglasses and his money clip with a few hundred dollars, which he never managed to get exchanged in Amat

First Person:
[The video turned on, and Henry is there, his dark eyes thoughtful.] I must say, a floating island is new. I am not entirely sure what is keeping us up ... I am rather interested in finding out how. The engineering is fascinating, and I would like to study it further. However. First.
[He held up one finger, his dark eyes serious.] I will not lie about my nature, especially when I am a danger to all the innocent people here. I am a vampire, and thus, require blood. Not ... much, I only need to feed once a month at most, for yes ... I am an old creature. [He will not say how old, but old enough.] However, when I get hungry I lose control of my mental facilities and ... I need not go into that. Safe to say, it would be best for everyone if there was a reliable blood source.
[He holds his hands wide, with a slightly ironic gesture of What can you do?, before he offered a tight smile.] Otherwise ... are there any of my old friends here? Perhaps they would do me the kindness of letting me know they are here - and safe. Or at least ... less in danger than we used to be from a power mad goddess?
Third Person: From the TDM
Finally, out of the 4 words, pick one: Chimes, lake, gravel, or sun? Lake.
