louis de pointe du lac

first impressions.
Louis is a striking young man with delicate, expressive features and the perpetually troubled look of a philosopher. He has piercing green eyes, tousled hair, and an unnaturally pale cast to his skin that tends to draw the eye to his other, more inhuman qualities — the fangs, for example, and the fact that he's always just a little bit too still. He's tall and slender, almost gaunt, but carries himself unobtrusively; it's clear that he doesn't enjoy being the center of attention. Still, despite his reserved and often cautious manner, Louis is compassionate and curious and eager for intellectual conversation. If you let him talk for long enough, he just might tell you his life story.
→ voice. Soft, polite, and well-spoken; a pleasant if unremarkable high baritone. His English is American-accented, with a hint of French that can be difficult to place. He's done a lot of traveling.
→ dress. Favors dark clothing: mainly black, occasionally green. Generally dressed in an old-fashioned but comfortable style: sweaters, high-collared shirts, and long coats, a little like an accidentally handsome librarian. Wears an emerald ring on his left hand.
→ scent. Notably, absolutely none.
→ psychic. His thoughts are generally an open book. Louis cannot read minds on his own, nor can he always tell when someone else is in his head.

powers.
Louis is a vampire, albeit a relatively weak one. He shies away from exploring his powers, so even he isn't certain how much of his weakness is innate and how much is by choice.
→ strengths. His preternatural speed, strength, and reflexes are enough to break iron locks, scale buildings, and make easy prey of a healthy adult man, but they're nothing compared to what a vampire of his age should be capable of.
→ weaknesses. Though he is immortal, fire or sunlight will reduce him to ash. Goes into a deathlike sleep during the day.
→ blood & biting. Louis drinks blood. Consuming anything else will make him violently ill. If he goes hungry for more than a night or two, he'll start getting weaker and more feral. Starvation won't kill a vampire, but they will eventually go insane and wither into a mindless corpse.
Technically, Louis can create other vampires, but he absolutely refuses to cross that line ever again, and so this particular power is unlikely to come up at all without extensive plotting.
