Personality/Interests:
Kresnik Drakonov is a brooding, melancholic figure. He is self-loathing, cynical, intelligent, and witty. Though prone to misanthropic tendencies, Kresnik is a deeply conflicted individual who has constant bouts with his own morality and principles, as well as questioning his own existence as a monstrous hybrid. He's willing to protect innocents, whether for money or if it's truly the right thing to do, but he's also willing to kill an innocent person in order to further his own agenda, whether or not they're being mauled by a werewolf in the process. His intelligence is sharp and perceptive and his cynicism is not without wisdom; and with that wisdom, more knowledge is available to him to use as a weapon, and Kresnik is fully aware of this fact and is prone to abusing it. The half-vampire is not above using tricks and mischief to get his way, but he often questions if it was the best choice at the time; unless he's getting beaten to near death, then those questions are out the window. Clever and witty, Kresnik often runs his mouth off far more than he should, perhaps a defense mechanism to mask his own pain and hate. He often appears as a stoic with a dry sense of humor, making him a snarker of sorts.
Despite being a dhampir, his self-loathing comes mostly from his tragedies; all of which are from his failures and shortcomings. In this sense, he's a perfectionist (yet not quite a narcissist), and if something goes wrong, he undergoes dark moods in the form of rage (which is truly his depression and sorrow, along with his own insecurities that fuel it). Because of his perfectionist mindset, he's an expert tactician and prefers to be a lone wolf in just about any job. Despite his outwardly cold demeanor, Kresnik is a very caring and compassionate individual, and is quite fond of children and animals. However, Kresnik is able to kill others with little to no compassion, showing a level of professionalism as a mercenary and assassin; though he does not enjoy the killing, he justifies it as a necessity to further his own goals and money was almost always required.
Kresnik has a fear of witches; or more specifically, Baba Yaga (the Hag of the Swamp). Baba Yaga warped him into the man he became, an avid scholar and exceptional vampire hunter (as well as a monster hunter in general), but not without mental scarring. He bears nothing but hate and fear for witches, despite being a powerful sorcerer himself, and is quick to distrust (and perhaps even kill) them. However, what he hates more than witches are lycanthropes, faeries, and especially vampires, all of whom antagonize, warp, and feed off of humans.
Even though the dhampir is a self-loathing hypocrite, he has a measure of self-respect and is quickly prone to vow revenge whenever he feels he had been wronged in some way. However, this would take much to sting his pride, something even he forgets about. In this respect, he is headstrong and not easily deterred; he fears witches, and fears even the dead gods more, but not even they can stop him in his tracks once he puts his mind onto an objective.

Clothing Description:
Kresnik prefers to wear dark clothing, feeling the need to mourn for everything that dies whether it is people or the passing of days.

Equipment
Gauntlet of Daemos
A black claw-like gauntlet made of black steel equipped to his left arm/hand, the gauntlet reaches up to the elbow. It possesses a red jewel on the back hand, a cats-eye agate, which hums with magical power. The gauntlet's claws are razor-sharp and can pierce through armor, as well as provide protection from psionic powers (mental powers, basically), by deterring psionic abilities and defenses to the jewel. It is fused to his arm, soulbound.
Amulet of Lunathalanas (Pronounced: LOON-UH-THUH-LAY-NUHS)
A holy symbol of the moon goddess, Lunathalanas. The silver amulet is a disk with an apex that plays with the lighting of both moon and sun, capable of mimicking the many moon phases. It has no actual value aside from being a keepsake from his childhood, a toy he regularly played with when left alone and given to him by his adoptive/late father, Father Makarith. Lunathalanas is the goddess of the moon, the night, and the hunt.

Weapon(s)
Rosaria- A silver-bladed, single-edge longsword forged with blood, the red-blade is enchanted to slay supernatural creatures, its arch-nemesis being the vampires. The sword possesses a magical glow that brightens in the presence of werewolves and vampires, and not even the Faerie like the bite of the sword. It has multiple abilities, such as the blade breaking off into fragments and being linked by magic, turning it into a scarlet whip. It can also explode into slivers, resembling a bloody mist or a flurry of rose petals, and can surround a foe or race toward a foe. It is also considered a vorpal weapon due to possessing an impossibly sharp edge.
Daggers x4 (one in each boot, one on opposite hip from sword, one hidden by coat behind)
Hidden Blade- Due to his profession, his right bracer is actually a weapon possessing a spring-loaded 6" blade. It is also made of silver, as is the rest of his arsenal, used solely as a last resort or to be used for discretion.
Spells/Powers/Talents/Abilities
Kresnik is a power mage in his own right, knowing many forms of magic. However, he has a mastery of sangromancy- magic that uses blood as an alternative source of power, capable of performing tasks directly and perhaps to use the blood in manipulative ways, even so far as summoning ancient and powerful blood elementals. Kresnik also has access to necromancy (expert), pyromancy (expert), aeromancy (adept), and electromancy (adept), allowing him vast access to spells and elementals. Due to his expansive knowledge of magic, he also possesses knowledge of various creatures and ancient, eldritch things. He specializes in the occult and the supernatural, making him an excellent Hunter.
Due to his lineage, however, Kresnik feels the insatiable thirst for blood, which (if untended) could leave him either weak/crippled or prone to blind survival. Because of this, and because his magical training, he is skilled in potion-making and often times poisons. Should he drink the potions that sate his vampiric thirst, he would not only retain his humanity, but would still possess the enhanced strength, speed, agility, endurance, and stamina of vampires; however, should he drink blood, he would not only increase his natural abilities, but would gain insight from the victim; however, the cost of this is the potential to go mad with combining their memories/identities to his own. Unlike the vampires, however, he can eat normal food and drink anything he needs to sustain himself (although this does not sate his thirst for blood by any means; it simply keeps himself alive) and he is also capable of walking out into sunlight without fear of being burned alive.
He has a slowed, if not an altogether halted aging process, allowing him to remain youthful and at his peak.
He's a skilled melee combatant, capable of using swords, daggers, and even whips. Because of his more physical nature, he prefers to augment his weaponry with temporary spells (though using a fireball or seven wouldn't hurt either). He can even augment his own body with spells, to increase his speed or strength, but his physiological spellcasting is merely at novice level, for he showed no legitimate interest in the field, making the spells relatively weak (but still somewhat handy). This makes him a tactical assassin, especially since he is skilled in tracking and stealth.
He can understand and speak five languages, verbally fluent in all five. He is also capable of seeing in the dark.
