He’s of average height and has a lean build. Leland has light tan skin and defined features. His eyes are a deep chocolate brown and fall under thick, sometimes bushy eyebrows. His hair is dark, jet black and he usually keeps it cut short. If once in the Blue Moon that it is long, he pulls it back and keeps it combed. His nose is a little on the broad side and his cheekbones are well defined, paying lineage to his Native American blood. His jaw is square and usually kept well groomed. His shoulders are broad and lead down to muscular arms with a pair of artist’s hands. His chest is what he would like to think of as the masterpiece of his body, it’s flat and muscular. His abs are well defined, showing the product of his rigorous exercise (hunting prey). His legs are long and muscular; proving good for a quick escape on foot or a swift kick.

PERSONALITY
YOUR CHARACTER BETTER HAVE ONE OF THESE!

LIKES:
•Writing. Leland has a natural affinity for anything of literature. From poetry to a novel, give him some inspiration and he shall give birth to a masterpiece.
•Music. Leland, even from a young age, seemed to be drawn to music. He loves to hear the variations each artist makes to create their own subtle flavor. He listens to everything from Hip Hop to R & B to Alternative.
•Drawing. Leland can't help but to pick up a pencil and a pad of paper to sketch from time to time. He usually only does it when he's bored, though.
•Conversation. Leland loves to talk and sate his opinion. He has a fiery speaking voice that usually persuades others.
•Reading. Leland has always been able to make friends, but he always liked the characters from books better. They're not as dangerous and can't leave you alone.
•Sleeping. Who doesn't like to sleep? When there’s nothing else to do; Leland is going to catch some Z’s.
•Finding true friends. Leland has come in contact with too many fake people in his life to not recognize genuine issues.
•Women. He can’t help himself but be drawn to them. He usually has multiple sexual partners and doesn’t mind playing with Red Blood women every now and again for their bodies.
•Sex. It comes with the women. He usually uses it as a precursor to his feast, a way to lure his prey into a content state(Before he devours them).
•The thrill of the hunt. He can’t help but feel the jolt of pure pleasure of ecstasy when he comes in contact with his prey. The last moments of their life always burn into his memory, while the taste of the last drops of their life always cause his mouth to water.
DISLIKES:
•Drinking the blood of the innocent. It's delicious allure is something he can't withstand; but he hates to take the life of someone he did nothing against him.
•Knowing there is no salvation for him. He will never find redemption: He's a monster and he's come to terms with it. He is constantly torn between his primal thirst for blood and his ever deteriorating morals.
•Being a vampire. He hates what he is plain and simple. He hates the immortality for his life means nothing and he is just going through the motions of a life that means nothing. He was never to find salvation; and, now, knows he never will.
•People who can’t mind their business. He is a very solitary unless you’ve shown him your trust. People who stick their nose in his business will usually lose a life.
•Racism. It really gets under his skin because of his mixed heritage. When he was a Blue Blood the memories of his past lives came back to him with grim realization of how the color of your skin affects the way you are treated.
•Humans. He can’t stand that they’re so weak and defenseless and so unworthy of their blessing. They could never be truly damned fro all the need due is to repent. Leland doesn’t have such a luxury and usually uses Red blood like disposable toys.
•Other Croatans. You could call him a hypocrite because he feasts on Blue Bloods like all the rest of his kind but he sees other Silver Bloods as so…unorganized. He hates the way they attack and feast with no finesse, no style or cunning. To him they are just like their prey, flaunting their predatory status; but with no sense of prowess.
•Bad sex. It’s pretty self-explanatory. Its one of the only other pleasures he can get out of life; besides blood. He knows he’s good at it and expects nothing less, if not more from his partner.
•Manly women. He never saw any of their like when he was a Blue Blood and can’t really get into the habit of getting used to it.
•Unruly children. The best guest is because he was quite unruly and rebellious his self. He really can’t take taking a good, long look into the mirror.
HABITS/QUIRKS:
•Rubbing his chin and goatee when he feels awkward or out of place.
•Clenching and unclenching his fists when he’s pissed.
•Rolling his eyes at nearly everything.
OVERALL PERSONALITY:
First, even though he likes to talk, it takes Leland a time to warm up to strangers. He has trouble letting anyone in because he fears they will betray him. He has lost everything that was good and meant something to him. He doesn't let people in because he doesn't give them the chance. Some might call him a loner but he likes to call himself an outsider. (Really he’s just a tough cookie to crack with a soft, mushy center.) He is still not like other Croatans, though, he feels for people, he just doesn't show it much.

He feels that there are billions of people in this world so that we can all be different. This falls into the categories of race, sexual orientation, personality, and so forth. He was always a good child, good student; he just always had a bad streak that slips out (frequently). He‘s definitely not gullible or a punk. He is too free-minded and free-willed for his own good sometimes. This usually would make him a prime target but he can hold his own, his sarcasm is one of the closest things he has to a vocation. Push him; he’ll push you back harder and a lot faster. He will probably kill you nowadays, though. He doesn’t see himself as reckless or arrogant; to him he just does what he does, thinks what he thinks, and feels the way he feels about things. He holds fast to what he believes in and will never back down from a challenge, even if the stakes aren’t in his favor.

Give him a reason or even a chance to speak his mind and you’ll hear it. When he feels something is wrong, he will speak out about it. Some may see him as reckless for some the extents he goes to prove his point or make something right, seeming not to consider the consequences of his actions or their affects on others. He can be passive when he wants to and hold his tongue. His passive nature is usually due to him sitting back and observing, then forming his opinion. He may also seem passive and quiet at times because half the time he either doesn’t care or isn’t listening. He may have a gruff exterior like he wants no one around, but it’s really a front. He will kick your ass if he has to but he would much rather just chill. He is easy going, open-minded and will give everyone their fair chance unless you give him a reason not to. Overall, he’s an optimist who will try to find the good in any situation and the best method of resolve.

He tries to be the best person he can but always seems to fall short.

OVERALL HISTORY:
Born the only child to Blue Bloods, Alejandro and Leilani de Montreal, Leland lived a well to do life in Manhattan. He usually got everything he asked for except what truly mattered. His parents though they showered him in privilege, used that to disguise the fact that they were never around. Holiday gatherings, family vacations, and unbearable dinner conversation was all that bund them together. When his parents were there was either a lifeless tension in the air or a nuclear argument going on. They all loved and cared for one another no doubt, but they just weren’t able to connect. It was the winter break of his Fresh man in college when Leland left behind his life as a Blue Blood. Per usual, Leland was pissed at his parents. Leilani had tried to stop the argument before it escalated, per usual, she was too passive to make any headway. Alejandro was furious at his son about ‘the biggest mistake he could ever make’. Leland was in love, his first true love. Her name was Aurielle an she as beautiful, and so smart. She would be the perfect daughter-in-law. But she was human and she knew nothing of Blue Blood existence.

Leland was upstairs in the upper level of his parent’s loft, which was pretty much his own private apartment. He had his on room, kitchen, and bathroom. He was online, talking to Aurielle. She was trying to diffuse her lover's rage. She wanted to know did he want her to come over; and he said 'yes'. He thought it would be the perfect way for his parents to realize how wonderful he was, how much she meant to him. His parents were occupied at the moment; downstairs throwing a giant Masquerade party for most of New York's Blue Bloods. After the party was over, Leland would tell his parents that he planned to tell Aurielle everything. And he knew she would understand, he couldn't help the way he was born. She had always said, "I'll love you no matter what." At that moment though, Leland was trying to decide what words to say to his parents.

After the party ended at about midnight, and people were shuffling out of the house Leland made a call to Aurielle to come as soon as she could. He didn't want to give his parents the chance to get away. It took abut a half an hour for all the partygoers t leave and that's when the doorbell rang. Her heard Leilani ask "What are you doing hear?", followed by her scream. He thought she was just being melodramatic about Aurielle having the audacity to come to their home. That was until he saw Leilani lying on the ground, her sapphire blood pooling underneath her. Alejandro had taken on the form of a tiger, his Mutatus. He was holding his own and even took an attacker's arm of. That was until the Black Fire touched his body. He was gone within seconds, nothing to mark is passing but the anger that welled up in Leland. Leland lunged at the intruder, his fangs already out and deadly.

He grabbed them by the neck and sunk is fangs deep into their jugular vein. The liquid that drained into his mouth was like fire coursing through him. He thought the attacker had been a human. But that was only one of them, the one who had held the Black Fire weapon. The one Leland was feasting on was a Blueblood, and his Sangre Azul was both exquisite and explosive. Leland knew the second the first drops went trickling down his throat that he would become one of the dreaded Croatan. He couldn't stop feasting, he wanted to but his rage was too much. That and the power of drinking from a Blue blood was just too much to pull away from. This one's gift was Consummo and now Leland owned his power. As the last gulps quenched his anger, tears ran down his cheeks. He cried for himself and the person now trapped within his mind.

He had lost everything. His home, his parents, his humanity all of it was gone. He felt as empty and drained as the body he let fall to the floor. He got a better look at the victim, his victim as the body slumped on the ground. He recognized who it was. He was Kessler Stark, his father's greatest rival in his firm. Why would he have gone as far to kill Alejandro and Leilani was a mystery to Leland. He had to time to think about it anyway, the doorbell rang. And with the door still ajar, it opened and Aurielle came in.

Hr face was contorted into a mask of horror as she saw the room before her. She saw her lover, covered in blood, Blue blood at that, and standing the epicenter of death. She couldn't fathom what he was, fangs protruding out of his mouth and his eyes nearly glowing. She could only say one thing, "What are you?" Leand turned, reaching out to the last thing he had left. Aurielle turned, and ran. Leland shifted instantly into his Mutatus, a wolf/dog hybrid it’s fur as dark as midnight. He ran after her, quickly catching up to her. He shifted back as soon as he was beside her. He tried to talk her down, tell her what he was. But her heart was racing, bounding so loud. She had already made her judgment, she saw him as a monster. She shrieked, and he knew that then she had abandoned him too. He lunged and was upon her in a second, her ripped open her neck without even a second thought and drained her, the last of her life draining out on the pavement. He realized now that she was just a red Blood, cattle for the Blue bloods who were just cattle for himself. They were all prey, and they, the humans, were the weakest in the link, disposable.

Nate,
You're off to a great start with this...but you've got a few grammar/spelling errors.

"Women. He can’t help himself but draw them in the way them do to him." <-
I'm a little confused by this. Was it supposed to be 'in the way they do things to him'?

All of the likes and dislikes need an explanation, please.

"Taken to a meeting as a young child, but doesn't remeber much. And now a days really doesn't care, trying to stay off the radar." <- remember? and 'their radar'?

"they showered him in privelege, used that to guise the fact" spelling...and disguise?

"Leilani had tried to stop the argument before it escalated but, per usual, she was too passiv to make ay headway. Alejandro was furious at his son about "the biggest mistake he could ever make". Leland was in love, his first true love. Her name was urielle an she as beautiful, and so smar." <- spelling. Passive, smart...and any.

"Leland was upstairs in the upper lvel of his parents loft, which was pretty much his own private apartment. He had his on room, kitchen, and bathroom. He was online, talking to Aurielle. She was trying to difus her lover's rage"<- spelling, and a descrepancy on the name of the red blood.

"leland wouldtell his parents" <- Capitalization, and use of spaces between words.

"She had always said, "I'll love you no atter what." " <- M...on the matter.

"for all the party goers t leave and that's when the doorbell rang. Her heard Leilani ask "What are you doing hear?", " <- partygoers is one word. Also, 'to'. Hear should be 'here'.

"He washolding his own and even took an attacker's arm of." space bar! And do you mean, 'off'?

"his one's gift was Consummo and now lelnd owned hispower. As th last gulpsquenched his anger, tears ran down his cheeks. He cried for himself and the person now trapped within his mind." <- check out space bar, capitalization, misspellings, and possibly clarity of meaning, please.

"Hr face was contorted into a mask of horror as she sw theroom before her. Sh saw her lover, covered in blood, Blue blood at that, and standing the the epicenter of death. She could't fathom what he was, fangs protruding out of his mouth and his eyes nearly glowing. She could only say oe thing, "What are you?" Leand turned, reaching out to thelst thing he had left. Aurielle turned, and ran. Leland shifted instantly into his mutatus, a wolf/dog hybrid ith fur as darkas midnight. He ran after he, quickly catching up to her. He shiftd back as soon as he was beside her. he tried to tal her down, tell her what he was. But her heart ws racing, bounding so loud. She had already made her judgement, she saw him as a monter. Her pulse was so...delicious to him. She shrieked, and he knew that then she had abandoned him too. He lunged and was upon her in a second, her ripped open her eck without even a scond thought and drained her, the last of her life draining into him." <- spell check this entire paragraph.

And on that last paragraph (see above), if he's a Croatan, he wouldn't kill her. Red Blood is poison to them, so that's impossible because he would be dead, then.

Blue Blood(s) is two words.

Also, spell check your Roleplay Sample, please, I noticed some mistakes when going through it.

If you have any questions, let me know, okay? You can shoot me a PM. By the way, I'm Jenn. You can call me Jenn.

Please post when you've completed the necessary edits. Thank you!

I have made all the necessary changes/revisions.

Hey Nate. I sent you a PM regarding Croatans and their inability to drink from Red Bloods. Just change that stuff and we should be good, okay? Let me know when you've made the edits (post here or shoot me a PM).
