Character history:
Gabriel Durden was born on 31 October 1795 to Thomas and Frances Durdenov. He was the oldest of their three surviving children—Edward, Celeste, and a half brother from a previous marriage Orin. A son was lost in infancy. Gabriel was born in central London, (although there is no clear evidence of exactly where). His father was working as a hostler at the Hoop and Swan pub when Gabriel was born, an establishment Thomas later managed and where the growing family would live for some years.
His parents both died by the time he was 14, and the four children were left in the custody of their grandparents. In autumn 1810, Gabriel left school to become a surgeon's apprentice at Thomas Hammond's apothecary shop in Edmonton Charles Cowden Clarke, a close school friend of Gabriel, described this time as "the most placid time in [Gabriel’s] painful life" He lodged with Hammond and slept in the attic above the surgery.
On 1 October 1815, Gabriel registered to become a student at Guy's Hospital (now part of King's College London) where he would study for five years. Within a month of starting, he was accepted for a "dressership" position within the hospital—a significant promotion, which he took up in March the following year. During his time at the hospital, he lived in various rooms near London Bridge.
Late one night while Gabriel was catching up on some reading, a mysterious patient came through the hospital’s doors. It was a young beautiful girl named Analise Báthory. She was pale and clammy; she had a horrendous fever, and a peculiar light sensitivity. Gabriel tried everything in his power to save her, but unfortunately she died before the sun came up the following morning. Gabriel was devastated. He could not piece together why she had died. He took the following days off to recuperate and reflect. When Analise showed up on his door step. He thought he was dreaming again. But didn’t wake up when she sunk her teeth into his exposed neck.
Over the next 200 odd years Gabriel was a menace. The demon that had taken over his body was nothing like the young man that he used to be. He killed his brother and sister and numerous people at the hospital, and made his way all through Europe pillaging and plundering, often taking lovers of the vampiric kind. But all that stopped, well sort of when he saw Jaymes for the first time in 2005. She was studying late at the library a pile of counseling and social work books surrounding her. Her head resting on her hands and eyes closed… He pursued her for many months, and even stopped drinking human blood. He wanted to be with her, because when he was around her it touched on some humanity deep inside him, and he remembered being the man he once was. She eventually understood what he was, but she wasn’t afraid. Everything was seemed ok, until some four years later, he brutally yet accidently murdered her best friend in a jealous fit of rage, and then he saw her cry for the first time. And he had made her cry. The next night he had come to her house to grovel, but the house was empty. Everything inside was gone. She had taken off. Gabriel has spent the last few months tracking her scent, and it has led him to zandore. He knows she is here somewhere.
RP sample:
Gabriel slowly and sheepishly slinked out from behind the tree trunk, his dark tussled hair hanging in his honey hazel eyes. He curiously looked at the peculiar girl in standing front of him. She smelled sweet; like toffee apples and musk. He sensed she wasn't afraid, and his throat ached to taste her.
Just.One.Little.Taste. He took a step forward and the tension was unbearable. He now knew this was a bad idea, he wasnt ready. No not yet. He turned on his heel and quickly scampered back into the forest once again finding solace in the cold darkness Pathetic he thought to himself disgusted. Utterly pathetic. What would she think now?[/size][/size][/sup]
