Lars' origin began in Denmark, nearly a thousand years ago,
an estimation made for the fact his missing daughter knew the true number,
while he didn't. Lars had "died" at the age of 46.
That was a long life back then and not many lived as long, but then,
not many would continue through the centuries as he has either.
It's believed he'd had some Viking linaege..
even a possible blood connection to royalty, but this life was mostly non-existent now,
even should he retain any and all memories.
It's impossible to do a actual DNA test to confirm anything, either.
His real surname is lost with all this too. In his new vampire life, all he managed to
force himself to remember was the name Lars...
Back in that life, Lars had been in love with a woman, a woman who will never exist to him again.
Together, they'd had a daughter. This woman was murdered one night and his daughter had gone missing.
Driven for answers, Lars was ready to do everything in his power to find his daughter,
but hadn't had to go far. The moment he walked out of their home, there the young girl of no more than nine years old,
stood with eyes only for her father. Eyes that were once a green like his, but seemed more silver, especially under the glow of the moon.
Filled with relief, Lars discarded those eyes in favor of throwing himself at his daughter in the fear that he could have lost her...
If only he'd known..  
..He already had.
Sharp pain spread like fire along his neck and then he knew no more.
.
.
The demon within filled him with temptations he couldn't deny.
The reality of what happened
drove him to madness and he fed off that, inspiration to his rage.
His daughter had once again
disappeared and wouldn't be seen again for many centuries.
He'd tried to find her, but never could get any lead on her.
She was gone and that abandonment fueled the fire.
He couldn't understand what he had become,
but instincts overtook and he soon learned. For a turned vampire,
he climbed his way up the food chain and
would become a formidable vampire. He's had ties with human slavery,
mass murders, lending a hand in the downfall of kingdoms,
with the goal to one day make all humans bend to the will of his kind.
Through this, it meant he'd made many enemies in
the supernatural world and yet, he always remained elusive to them.
That was, until some mysterious being of greater power finally got their hands on him,
somewhere within the nineteenth century. There's yet to be an
explanation on what exactly happened
that day or why it had happened, other than the assumption that
it had been an enemy looking to put an end to his reign of
terror and rather than death, they found a more agreeable punishment in
turning him into a blank slate of nothing,
banishing all memories and even a sense of his nature.  
Back at the beginning all over again, he'd had to find out what he was the hard way,
committing his first murder in this new persona, but something different happened.
Without the rage and madness to fuel him, he found the power to turn away from
these temptations and lead a more stable and ordinary life - or as ordinary
as a vampire could.
He put one step in front of him and continued on without trying to look back...
.
.
Lars eventually found himself in New York city, where he finally
claimed himself a home. 
The city had quite a bit of activity that only grew as the time
went on and the madness of it all kept him on his toes.
A distraction from "what was".  It was here that he met a mechanic, and sharing their
interests and skills in fixing up and restoring cars, they'd become good friends.
The man opened up his own shop and invited the vampire right in. For years,
Lars worked alongside this man until the man eventually passed away of a heart attack.
He passed over ownership to Lars and since then, he still runs the place
and keeps the job as another distraction. 
Back at home, a average sized place set back a decent drive away from the madness of the city, 
Lars lived alone, apart from the five cats he's let into his home.
The man was a sucker for the felines
and often shows interest in any feline that comes within his range.
He's kinda obsessed with the little creatures.
All of them had been strays and it's taking all his willpower
not to go to a shelter and take all of them in too.
He settles for sending donations whenever..

A Chrysler Imperial Crown was gifted to him by his closest friend- Kougar
Tinkering with cars became a favored hobby and the skills grew over time since
the beginning of the automobiles came around.
The hum of an engine is a welcomed buzz of power.
Like his cats, he shows interest when he recognizes a nice model.
He was more than happy to turn this hobby into a full time career
and still continues with it to this day.

When you meet him as he is in modern times, he is the complete opposite of the monster
he'd first became in his vampire life. He's gentle, a gentle giant notoriously claimed and
often comes off being fair and neutral for the most part. He's not exactly timid nor easily submissive,
and yet, he's not overbearingly dominant like he use to be either. He's kind, soft outwardly to others he
doesn't deem an immediate threat, but is hard edged within and if you dare to dig down to that layer,
you'll be in for a surprise. Lars is the type to give everyone a chance,
but as soon as that chance is squashed,
you won't get another one. He's loyal to the bone for those who prove themselves worthy of this loyalty and
that goes hand in hand to his rather prominent protective side -
He has lost a lot before and while he may not remember it all,
it's still got it's effect on him and makes him act irrationally at times. 
 He's not at all that guarded type, but rather enjoys displaying his goofier and gentle side to all, though,
it's very easy for certain types of people to trigger the shutdown of this. Call it a gut feeling, but if he has any
reason to consider someone a possible threat, thus comes forth a more stoic side of him.  His kindness is not to be taken as weakness,
because while his guard may seem down, it's simply masked and at the ready. 
X
His former self was as you'd imagine most monsters of his kind to be.
Like a snake in the grass, he has no limits in what he'll do to achieve what he wants.
Loyalty is nothing but a mere tool of advantage, but ultimately fake.
A traitorous bastard. In recent time coming, he's been slowly uncovering this past and with it,
the darkness of that monster has begun to slowly bleed into Lars' new life, tainting it.
Lars as he was after the mind wipe, was possibly who he was as a man before the curse, but now,
it's becoming a battle of bad and good and it's leaving him a mess..


" YOU STILL LOVE ME .. DON'T YOU, DADDY?
                                                                                                                          -  I N G R I D
His bitter past revolves around her where his whole world once use to.
The vampires were making their move across the Scandinavian lands and many fell victim to
them, including Lars' wife and daughter.
They bled his wife dry, but Ingrid was left with this curse... this disease that she'd pass onto
her father. Perhaps the monster couldn't bring themselves to actually
kill the child, but they'd done much worse
by leaving her this way.. She was left to change alone
beside her dead mother; the first sight she's granted upon
her new life and it is this view that brings the newborn vampire a deep anger,
an anger that would be turned towards
her father for centuries to come...
Permanently, she appears the age she was turned; just nine years old..
X
Dirty blond hair like her mother.. green eyes like her father...
X
When this innocent facade isn't in order for her intentions, she will often
use illusions to make herself appear
as a woman, hypnotizing her prey to gain what she wants and she's often rather cunning and manipulative..
She haunts Lars, always looking to hurt him any way she can for not protecting her and her mother better,
but as recent as the past century, there's not been a sight of her,
disappearing sometime before Lars' mindwipe.
She could be dead, but it's not been confirmed and Lars as of now remembers nothing of her existence..

HERE ARE THE FACTS OF HIS NATURE..

Lars is an old breed of Vampire, but over time has evolved and become more stronger
and durable. Being a bitten and turned vampire,
he wasn't nearly as strong as the born bloodlines,
but since he's had time to evolve, he's nearly a match in strength to a full fledged born vampire now.



S t r e n g t h s




With evolution came the ability to withstand the sun.
Exposure for more than half a days length will result in some irritating sunburns and any longer,
the burns will worsen in their severity. ( Can also be seen as a weakness )



Supernatural Strength- Like most vampires, Lars has that supernatural strength,
what was now easily rivaling to a born pureblood vampire. 



Enhanced senses- He can hear a heartbeat within half a mile,
scent all humans and most supernaturals,
view the world in greater detail like a fine camera lense and
seems to have something like a sixth sense, allowing him to feel the energy of another
being nearby if he's looking for it when his other senses seem useless.



Supernatural Speed- Like most vampires, Lars also has that ability to move at greater speeds,
also allowing him to flit between shadows when he needed to go unseen. 



Shapeshifting/Illusion- Lars did this often before, but since having his mind wiped, he hasn't attempted it.



 Hypnosis- Lars can hypnotize a human into submission, but again, he's never used this since before.



Levitation- Lars hates flying, hates the idea of it ( Despises airplanes too ) and only ever uses this
ability to his advantage for scaling walls.



 W e a k n e s s e s





Many weaknesses people associate to vampires are often proven false, but besides the use of the sun,
another that is proven true is the use of pure silver. In contact with skin, it'll burn him; ingested in some way,
it'll poison him and the severity always depends on the amount used. 



                        - A stake to the heart really won't do anything.



Don't try it. ( Unless it's made of silver, but then it'll only injure and even scar him,

not kill him. Decapitation is the best and quicker method. )



                


    Holy water ( causes mild irritation )

                  

  Garlic ( tastes good )

                   

Crucifixes ( makes for awkward conversations ) 




Magic- Lars once had a way around magic, but he's been stripped of that ability since before.



Cats - Cats are always a weakness to this vampire...



N e e d s / Other Vampire Facts





Blood is needed to survive. Without it, he wastes away to nothing.
Human blood brings him to his full potential, while animal blood just allows him to get by, therefore sometimes
he'll try and acquire what he can from the nearest hospital. It also heals him faster.
( Lars will always try to avoid feeding from a human directly. He hates the idea of it )


                     - Demon blood is a whole different story.. it's more addictive than human blood or



any other creatures blood out there and can drive his kind mad with feral like rage if too much is consumed.





It's easy to assume Lars is infertile. His body doesn't quite function "alive" anymore and
so certain functions are useless now. He can still perform, however... 


                   - As stated, most body functions are void, but his heart still beats, mostly only when he's recently fed.



When he feeds, he'll feel warmer too, almost human, but otherwise he's cold

to the touch and his pulse is nearly impossible to find. 



                   - This includes in the factor of human food consumption.

He can eat human food, but it burns away immediately and does nothing that it does for humans.
He'll eat it mostly for the sake of blending in or because he fortunately somehow can still taste.
