Jay Craze

[Craze]

Name: His current name is James Mortimer Craze, he changes it periodically so as not to draw attention to himself, he's not really sure what his original name was.
Nicknames: Jay, Craze
Age: 513 (born August 13, 1496. born August 13, 1516)
Species: Vampire
Wings: NONE
Gender: male
Clan:Loner (no one really wants him, and he doesn't want them)
Orientation: White
Eye Color: right eye=pale blue, left eye=black
Hair Color: dark brown, almost black
Skin Complexion: very pale
Normal Clothing: Though he was born in the fifteenth century Jay never really felt at home until the 80's. He loved the rebel look and followed all the bad-boy fashions of the year even after the styles passed. He knew that his dedication to the time period would only make him more obvious to the human population, but this decade just swept him off his feet and kept him on the floor, it still does.
Personality: Jay is not usually one of the group, he doesn't do very well with authority and it has always been his downfall. Jay can be mean and sarcastic, and he always knows what buttons to press, but he also has an odd kind of magnetism that he can turn on and off. It isn't a vampiric quality, it is just him. No one has really every seen Jay vulnerable as he hides his pain and feelings with witty comments and making other people feel bad about themselves so they either forget what they were talking about, or they very dearly want to forget. Over the centuries he had made friends with all the right people, and kept them in the dark about his condition. Jay is very influential and, if you befriend him, you might find that your enemies disappear quickly and your friends multiply, but, get on his wrong side, and you will find that just the opposite, and much worse, will taint your life for as long as you roam the Earth.

History:James was born to two normal, law abiding citizens of London, England. James' mother, and James' father (their names have been lost in his memory along with his own) were both devote Catholics and they raised their son to be the same. He grew up to love and fear God, going to church every Sunday and saying a prayer before and after each meal and before bed at night. The Crazes were a happy family, if poor, and they didn't know what to do about the latter, so they focused on the former.

James lived like this for fifteen years, but as he entered his teens, things began to change for him. The prospect of an all knowing being seemed preposterous and he got away from the faith, going to church with his family, but no longer believing in it, only mouthing the prayers said at the table and not even pretending to say any before bed. James' mother and father noticed that their son didn't have the appetite for the Bible as he once had and no longer wanted it read to him, or asked to borrow one of their copies. At night they could hear him talking to someone in the room, and they hoped beyond all hope that he was getting back in touch with God. One night however, on James' twentieth birthday night, they heard his voice talking, which was usual, but then they heard another voice answer. It was the voice of a woman, a woman that they never had heard before, and were entranced by it. Together they made their way to their son's room and just as they were getting ready to open the door they heard a horrified gasp from James and a squeal of delight followed by a sucking sound. They busted through the door and found it empty except for a large puddle of their son's blood and someone else's. The other blood smelled sweet almost, not the bitter copper scent that regular blood had.

That night marked James' career as a vampire. He lived with the woman who changed him for two hundred years, having a vampiric baby with her and they moved to America and were there when the Declaration was signed. James fought in the Revolutionary War, World War I, World War II, and Vietnam. Somewhere between WWI and WWII James and his family were found out. There was a terrible fire and his wife and child were burned alive. James managed to escape, having no choice but to live in the sewer to escape the sun during the day. He came out recently and he has been a frequent haunter of the city's underground scenes. He has been into all the latest drugs, hoping that one of them will work one day and the pain of losing his family will be lifted from his shoulders.
