====== William the Bloody ‘Spike’ Aurelius ====== **Character Type:** Fledgeling Monster (Vampire) **Age:** 4 years undead **Appearance:** Spike appears to be a rather slender human boy in his mid-teens, with unruly blonde hair that has a tendency to curl despite his best efforts to subjugate it. His youthful enthusiasm for games and sport and his stature in comparison to his Sire's, as well as Angelus's tendency to treat him like a young adolescent, enhance the perception of his being a youth. Spike has intense blue eyes, a strong jaw and prominent cheekbones, and a deceptively innocent expression. He generally is dressed in dark wool trousers, black leather boots, a white button-up shirt and braces. At times he also wears a waistcoat and jacket. Occasionally Spike is coerced into dressing like a 'respectable' gentleman of the Victorian era, but greatly prefers to dress informally. He carries a sharp lock-blade knife, and a couple of lock-picks upon his person at all times. **Drama Points:** 11 **Life Points:** 63 (currently at 46 LP for Skald adventure) **Experience Points:** 0 **Banked Experience:** \\ Doctor: (6 more needed for next level) \\ Getting Medieval: 3 (7 more needed for next level) \\ Occultism: 3 (7 more needed for next level) \\ Mr. Fix-It: 2 (6 more needed for next level)\\ WC: Tactics: \\ WC: Sign Language: 3 (2 more needed for next level) \\ Willpower: ( more needed for next level)\\ Science: (6 more needed for next level)\\ Acrobatics 5 (3 more needed for next level)\\ Notice: (10 more needed for next level)\\ WC: Chainsaw: 1 (4 more needed for next level)\\ Constitution: 2 (28 more needed for next level)\\ WC: Pokemaniac: 1 (4 more needed for next level)\\ WC: Trusty Funded: 4 (1 more needed for next level)\\ WC: Dragons \\ WC: Desert Survival 1 [4 needed for next level]\\ ===== Attributes ===== **Strength:** 6 **Dexterity:** 7 **Constitution:** 5 **Intelligence:** 3 **Perception:** 4 **Willpower:** 3 ===== Qualities ===== **Immortal** 0 **Vampire** 15 **Attractiveness** 1 **Fast Reaction Time** 2 **Good Luck** 3 **Natural Toughness** 2 **Situational Awareness** 2 **Nerves of Steel** 3 **Pain Resistance** 1 **Hard to Kill** 1 +2 = 3 ===== Drawbacks ===== **Anti social impulses** **Cruelty** 1 **Deceit** 2 **Violence** 2 **Covetousness** 1 **Dependent** 2 **Honourable** 1 **Recklessness** 1 ===== Skills ===== **Acrobatics:** 3 **Art:** 2 **Crime:** 3 **Doctor** 2 **Driving:** 1 **Getting Medieval:** 4 **Gun Fu:** 1 **Influence:** 1 **Knowledge:** 2 **Kung Fu:** 3 **Languages:** 1 (Latin) **Mr Fix-it:** 3 **Notice:** 4 **Occultism:** 4 **Science** 2 **Sport:** 3 (Cricket) **WC: Tactics:** 4 **WC: Wilderness Survival** 1 **WC: Dragons** 1 ===== Equipment ===== Tactical Shotgun [20 Bullet damage, holds eight shots, one shot per Turn] 2 loose shotgun shells Bulletproof Jacket [Armour Value 4, 12 vs Bullets, torso only] Serrated Knife [2 x Str Slash, can decapitate grappled opponents) 2 Hand-axes, balanced for throwing 1 Short Sword 1 Catapult 2 Dozen ball bearings 3 Throwing daggers Monty's Doctor Kit (+2 to any Doctor rolls) 1 Charm shaped like a Firebright, on a leather thong, which when held and the command Word 'Firebright' will provide a light source- the charm may also be thrown and used as an explosive device, although this will destroy it.
