Character Information

Summary

Rodrick is a vampire mage. He is destitute after losing everything. He has entered the shadows to try and adjust to his new life and to make a living. He is very distrusting of new connections and is very reserved. He is not sure who is friend and who is a foe. He will open up to other infected rather quickly.

Goals

Live a normal life while infected. Hates being a squatter.

Maybe one day find a cure for HMHVV.

Meet his parents again to let them know that he is alive, just they cant ever talk again.

Maybe get a pet. That might help with the crippling feeling of isolation.

Background

Rodrick Florence grew up in downtown Seattle. Both of his parents were wage slaves for Renraku. Neither ever got their Corp Limited SIN. Eventually with enough study he was accepted into Seattle University's Medical School

After graduating with a MD Rodrick began researching for Aztechnology's advanced HMHVV Lab in Seattle. It was a black site, but it was a free way for Rodrick to finish his PhD and be able to work for a AAA company, even though that company was Aztechnology.

Rodrick was working on a patient that was infected with strain I. The individual was placed in a vacuum chamber to keep it in suspended animation, of course you can tell were this story is going. One fateful day a very hungry vampire awoke from its slumber due to an error from a very clumsy worker. This clumsy worker was the first one that was drained, he was killed, silly clumsy work. A lot of workers who were not even clumsy were killed as well, but they don't pertain to this story.

Rodrick woke up in a rather nice building in the barrens. Turned out Aztech was selling the "left overs" as they called them to the local ghoul gangs. Turns out the easiest way to get ride of bodies that may not be infected is by having ghouls dispose of them. That is when the ghouls found the transforming Rodrick and gave him to a vampire contact of theirs Amelie and Jean-Baptiste. When he awoke he lost complete control of himself and went on a bit of a rampage, but luckily Amelie was prepared for that and he was able to quench his thirst with out to much issue.

Rodrick has been doing work for the Duponts since his Awakening. He is coming to terms with his new found powers. Much of his time is spent learning how to utilize magic. He is having to teach himself from the begining. He spends a lot of time online watching informational trids on how to utilize magic. He has no master and its been a tough path to get were he is at.

He was introduced to the Haven through the Duponts.

Narrative Significant Qualities

Positive

Exceptional Attribute Magic

Vampirism made me really magical.

Focused Concentration 1

Pretty good at keeping calm and keeping my focus in line. Found I can hold low level spells pretty easy.

Infected: Vampire

I feel like this isn't positive.

Sprit Mentor (Raven)

This bird wont leave me alone ever since I awakened. Keeps telling to me to do things, the weird thing is it has helped me a ton in learning magic. Doesnt seem like a bad thing I like the Raven.

Negative

Elevated Stress

It's pretty stressful being a vampire. I haven't stopped looking over my shoulder.

Loss of Confidence (First Aid)

What happens when I am doing triage and there is blood everywhere. Will I be able to hold back and not eat?

Spirit Bane (Plants)

Had a run in with a plant spirit not to long ago. It was a ghoul that was around the neighborhood. For some reason it just attacked me... I didn't do anything to it. I don't think I did.
