__________________IN-DEPTH STUFFPhysical Description Jericho is a tall, lean man, thin in frame with a medium muscle build. His skin is pale, almost deathly so, a dead giveaway to his nature. His eyes, red and predatory, stare forth with the will to work their way in to your very soul, and drag your sins kicking and screaming to the light. His face is thin, though not unhealthily so - one might say his facial features are simply well defined, with high cheekbones and a narrow chin. Straight brown hair falls to rest just above his shoulders, almost always capped with an overly wide brimmed black, leather cowboy hat, patched and stitched many times throughout the years to the point that little of the original material remains.
Jericho's clothes tend to consist of only dark colors, as he operates almost exclusively at night. He has a penchant for trenchcoats and shirts made with soft materials, and pants composed of sturdier materials. His boots are black, though faded from age and with the heels worn to nubs from walking many miles. He wears one holster on each hip, never travelling without his guns, and one can assume that even at rest there is never one beyond arms reach. Across his chest he wears a bandolier, stocked as full as possible with spare ammunition.
During the daylight hours, if Jericho is forced to travel during this time, he has a collection of kerchiefs and other assorted scrap fabric he will use to cover his face and other exposed skin, giving him the moniker of The Wrapped Man.
Personality Jericho is a rather conflicted person. On one hand, he's a creature of darkness and death, who's very survival hinges on hurting and killing others. On the other, he wants to do right, to redeem himself for the lives he's taken in the past even if that redemption is only seen by himself. That said, when he decides to take a course of action, he is very much a "doer," not one to sit in one spot for longer than absolutely necessary. His life is one of constant travel, never staying in one place for too long lest those that know what he is come a-calling for his head.
For those he comes to be close to, he can be fiercely protective. Then again, the people he gets close to are usually also the ones that
deserve that protection, as those who would treat others to abuse or other nefarious things are generally put down, and become his next meal. He is typically not a cold person (other than being undead, naturally), and gives most people a chance unless he knows beforehand what sort of person they are.
Those that screw up that chance aren't typically seen again. At least, not in one piece.
Magic/Abilities As a vampire, Jericho has a number of supernatural abilities.
-Superior senses: Jericho has expanded senses, encompassing sight, smell, and hearing.
-Vampiric strength: This strength is actually inverse. When he is well fed, his hunger sated, Jericho's strength is only slightly above that of a regular human with his same musculature. However, when time passes and the hunger rises, he becomes increasingly stronger as his body makes it much easier to hunt and feed.
-Vampiric speed: Follows the same rules as vampire strength.
-Regeneration/Fast Healing: Healing wounds, when those that may be fatal to most mortal creatures, happens quickly enough that one can actually watch the flesh knit itself back together. Regenerating a lost limb or massive parts of his frame, however, takes place over the course of days or weeks, depending on the severity of the wound.
Jericho also has a few supernatural detriments. The obvious one, naturally, is sunlight. Contact with even ambient sunlight causes minor burns, while direct rays cause instant combustion at the point of contact, though is survivable if he can get out of it quickly enough. Also, he is capable of starving to death, though this takes an inordinate amount of time and he will continue to grow stronger as he grows hungrier.
That said, complete destruction or removal of the head can kill him, as will anything overpowered (IE, shoving a grenade down his throat or something similarly destructive).
Relationships The Master: Jericho's sire, the one that turned Jericho from whatever man he used to be all those long years ago into the creature he is today, and used him as his instrument, his tool to hunt and kill and provide food. Not too long ago, The Master was destroyed, freeing Jericho from his enthrallment and allowing him to live his own life at long last. Jericho serves no one, now; he is his own master.
Faustine Anisette: Jericho's companion thrall, freed alongside him upon The Master's eventual destruction. Faustine was the influence that set him upon a more righteous path than the one that would have eventually ended in his own death. Knowing that she potentially saved him from this, he does his best to stay at her side. Their relationship has encompassed that partnership, friendship, and love and back again.
