Age: Turned at 23 and retains his looks but is now 95 years old
Personality: Alexi, while not the oldest of vampires, is still a wealth of information. He has spent his years since his turning amasing all the knowledge he can. He is a very vain creature caring more about his looks than anything else. He is an artist and musician, which are his second loves. He does everything from painting and sculpting, to composing and playing. He see's the true beauty of both sexes and can find both love and pleasure with either. He tends to be serious, with a deeply sensual yet sometimes scary side. He always "knows best" and cannot stand to be corrected, but will always be the first to correct others. Birthplace: Stromhold, Lithuania
Sex: Male
Occupation: Teaches night classes in Music, Art, History, and Literature when available. Otherwise he seeks a job where his love of flora can be utilized.
Appearance: Alexi does his best to stay looking good, prefering a silk shirt and khaki's to jeans and a t-shirt. He stays well manicured, nails and teeth perfect. His dark brown hair he keeps slicked back for the most part occasionally allowing it to flow free. The most noticable part about him is his eyes, a deep maroon, that seem to peirce your soul. His body is thin yet well built and always accentuated by the way he dresses. He moves with a dancers grace and when he speaks it has an almost musical tone to it. He does his best to keep a palor of life being vain of his apprerence, but like most vampire he has that whitened skin tone of death.
Special abilities/talents: He has an immense knowledge of history, music, and literature. He is also a well trained and very creative artist. He also has a love of horticulture and can do the same thing with flowers or a bush, that he can do with a blank canvas.
Supernatural Affinity: Species/Group: Vampire Power(s): He holds the standard vampire powers with a heightened power of seduction. Level: Having lost his sire shortly after being turned, he was never formaly trained on his powers and has learned most of what he knows on his own and from ancient texts. He is not a neophite but not a master either. Affiliation/Rank: He has always fallen in with the more creative groups, human and otherwise. In the vampire world he tries to stay out of the politics as much as possible. Preferred Prey: He has a taste for the beautiful people and refuses to feed off of anyone who he does not deem so.
History: Born to Lucia and Nicholi Petricove, Alexi was an only child. He grew up the son of a peasent, though anytime he had the ability to get his hands on a book, or to talk to a traveler at the bar his mother worked at he took it. He spent his free time helping the towns school teacher, doing errands and such for her. He always dreamed of a better life, of making it on his own. His chance came with WW2. His town was attacked early in the war and both of his parents were killed. Alexi fled fearing the same fate for himself, making his way to venice, home of the masters, that he had always dreamed about going to.
He spent almost two years on the street before he met Eliza. She was a beautiful young girl from England who had gotten stuck there when Italy joined Germany in the war. She was a sculpter and after hearing his story allowed him to stay with her. He spent almost 3 months with her, getting gradually used to her night schedule. He had fallen for her and finally one night she told him she had something she wanted to share with him. That night he gave himself to her becoming her childer. No sooner was the act finished then the door blew in off it's hinges. It seemed that Eliza had made one to many enemies in her time in venice. A pair of hunters came through, and Eliza began to fight with them screaming for Alexi to run, and he did. Once again he was on his own. He managed to blendin with society to ride out the rest of the war and has spent the rest of his time moving from place to place picking up what he can along the way.
Flaws: Feeding is somewhat hard for Alexi as he feeds only on those he considers beautiful. Venus DeMilo would be a prime example of who he likes to feed off of, he can't stand feeding off of anyone with any sort of imperfection or who is even slightly overweight. Alexi is also very overconfident which sometimes gets him into trouble as it is always his way or the highway. This causes problems for him as he is always willing to give criticism but not take it. He also has an insatiable curiousity and when he's not working or creating a new peice of art, he's always trying to find out some new peice of knowledge.
Merits: Alexi, even in life was always a fast learner. No matter what idea or bit of knowledge was placed in front of him he simply soaked it up like a sponge.
