|Gender| Cis Male
|Height| 5'08"

|Species| Kindred - Toreador
The Toreador are a clan of vampires known for being some of the most beautiful, sensual, seductive, emotional and glamorous of the Kindred. They are responsible for the legends of vampires who seduce and entice their prey with beauty, love and sensuality. Famous and infamous as a clan of artists and innovators, they are one of the bastions of the Camarilla, as their very survival depends on the facades of civility and grace on which the sect prides itself.

[Soft spoken | Dream like | Romantic ]

[Narcissistic | Prideful | Easily bored ]

Though a romantic poet in the way he holds and behaves himself, the years of being held upwards as an esteemed childe of an important toreador vampire has given Timothy a rather large ego. He prides himself both on looks and intelligence, allowing others to become obsessed and swayed by his gentle manner of speaking and eloquent words. Being a nigh immortal being however has it's faults, as the seasons change so often does the Toreador's choice on patrons and company, leaving a wake of heartbroken and dream shattered ingenues all in search of the next best thing.
[Abilities]

Attack I: Awe

Awe is simple but solid. Once the vampire employs this power, those who are near him or her either want to be closer to him or her or shudder in fear. It is an immediate and intense attraction, but temporal and not so overpowering that those afflicted lose their sense of self-preservation. Danger breaks the spell of fascination, as does leaving the area. Victims will remember how they felt, though, and this will affect their reactions should they ever encounter the vampire again. Awe is extremely useful in mass communication. It does not matter what is said – the hearts of those affected will lean towards the user's opinion.

Attack II: Entrancement

The Kindred compels someone to obsessively want to please them. This feat can be contested with a 1d20 result higher than 10
Attack III: Intensification

Create an object that instills a particular emotion in those who view it

Attack IV: Cipher

Gain the ability to read any non-supernatural language or code.

Passive I: Son of Cain

The living dead.
◾ BLOOD THIRST: This creature requires vitae from to maintain their health

◾ IMMORTAL: So long as the two aren't harmed in the usual ways to kill a vampire, they have the potential to live on for centuries.

◾ HEIGHTENED SENSES: The eyes of an artist can often discern even the most minute of details.

BANES:

◾ BEAUTY IS ALL I AM: The Toreador's Bane is that they exemplify the old saying that art in the blood takes strange forms. They desire beauty so intensely that they suffer in its absence.

◾ VITAE DEFICIENCY: The curse of Caine rears it's fangs in the creature's blood thirst- if not satiated frequently enough, will cause them to frenzy.

◾ SUNLIGHT: When exposed or likely burned, this will cause final death for the kindred.

◾ COMPULSION OF OBSESSION:  Enraptured by beauty, the vampire becomes temporarily obsessed with a singular gorgeous thing, able to think of nothing else. Pick one feature, such as a person, a song, an artwork, blood spatter, or even a sunrise. Enraptured, the vampire can hardly take their attention from it, and if spoken to, they only talk about that subject.

  ❝  What poet would not grieve to see
His breth'ren write as well as he?
But rather than they should excel,
He wished his rivals all in hell.❞

The life prior to being embraced is nothing noteworthy to Timothy. It was his work that garnered his token into the upper echelons of unlife, a meager and undiscovered poet who'd been swept away by a just as enchanting poseur of nobility.

And thus he spent eons, creating his art, travelling, so on and so forth. It was on the behest of an old acquaintance, Babylon primogen Adamaris Culver did the vampire become equated with the curious town. Secluded and private but not in a dull countryside way- no, for it was brimming with lights and activity. It felt like a hidden paradise to the poet, one distanced from the politics of normal kindred society and welcoming to so many walks of life that, well, it was rather difficult to turn down the offer to become the Prince's assistant.
