**Character type:** Master Vampire **Age:** 122 years undead **Appearance:** Spike has altered his appearance many times over the last hundred-odd years. Always with a keen eye for the 'underground' and 'rebellious' trends in fashion, he has cultivated a 'bad arse' look that changes from decade to decade. Currently, he is sporting a somewhat 'retro-punk' look, with peroxide-blonde bleached hair (which it is suspected, he keeps mostly because it irritates Angelus), black-varnished fingernails and occasional guy-liner. Spike generally wears dark jeans, black 10-hole Doc Martins, a black leather belt with silver buckle, and black t-shirts. He almost always wears his treasured black leather duster. Spike carries a stake, at least one sharp knife, a Zippo lighter, a packet of fags and a wallet with various false ID's and the occasional nicked credit card on his person at all times. He has a scarred right brow from the enchanted blade of the first Slayer he killed, during the Boxer Rebellion. **Drama Points:** 10 **Life Points** 74 + (6 levels HTK) = 92 ===== Attributes ===== **Strength :** 4 + 3= 7* **Dexterity:** 6 +2 = 8* **Constitution:** 5 + 2 = 7* **Intelligence:** 3 **Perception:** 4 **Willpower:** 3 *Bonus due to Vampire quality ===== Qualities ===== Immortal 0 Vampire 15 Acute Sense 2 Age 2 Attractiveness 1 Fast Reaction Time 2 Natural Toughness 2 Nerves of Steel 3 Good Luck 3 Hard to Kill 4 +2 = 6* *Bonus due to Vampire quality Nerves of Steel 3 Situational Awareness 2 ===== Drawbacks ===== **Anti social impulses** **Cruelty** 1 **Deceit** 2 **Violence** 2 **Covetousness** 1 **Love** 2 **Honourable** 1 **Recklessness** 1 **Adversary** ===== Skills ===== **Acrobatics** 4 **Art** 1 **Computers** 1 **Crime** 2 ^Bonus due to Age quality **Driving** 3 **Getting Medieval ** 4+1=5 ^Bonus due to Age quality **Gun Fu** 3 **Influence** 2 **Knowledge** 2 **Kung Fu** 4+1 = 5 ^Bonus due to Age quality **Languages** 2 **Notice** 2+1 = 3 ^Bonus due to Age quality **Occultism** 2 ===== Miscellanea ===== - Has a +2 bonus to hearing and smell/taste-based Perception rolls (+4 when involving blood) (**Vampire**) - Takes only one-fifth damage from bullets (**Vampire**) - Recovers from injuries at the rate of seven Life Points every hour (fire damage regenerates at the rate of seven Life Points per day) (**Vampire**) - Is vulnerable to sunlight, holy symbols, stakes through the heart, and beheading.
