Personal Questions
1. Describe your character's personality
Winter is fun loving, playful, adventerous and insane. He has periods of Pure Dementia, where he belives himself to be other people or to be in his own imagined reality, though these spells are rare, they are intense. When he's more lucid Winter is more of a Lunatic, he will scamper about for no reason, acting completely harmless, then suddenly shift and become vicious with little to no warning. Honestly he Enjoys acting crazy, he enjoys shocking people and uses this to his advantage. He will sometimes act up to be so Inept that he could not be trusted with the simplest tasks, other times he can be cold calculating and ruthlessly efficent. With Winter you never know if he's genuinely having a bout of Dementia, or if he's just acting that way for one purpose or another. in truth he's Lucid more than he'd ever want you to think, if you assume he's worthless batshit insane, you dont curb your words or actions around him.

Winter was born an Albino and later in life became a Vampire, so he has extremly pale skin, Snow white hair and pale pink eyes. often he will use stage contect lenses with a wide variety of unusual colors and patterns (example one eye may have a solid black contact the other would have a swirled green one, since whenever he wears both at once they rarely match) which have a second benefit of helping to protect his very sensitive eyes.
he sometime stripes colors into his hair (he seems to favor blue) he has black tribal tattoo's on both arms starting at the top / blade of his shoulder and working down onto his hands which stand out on his stark white skin.

BUMP!!

I'm curious, Sir. You have that your maker is Anantya but you're in Tacharan. Your history doesn't say why you were never in Anantya or anything about you changing to the other clan. Anantya would know about you if your maker was Anantya so they'd either know you're a lost child or a traitor to the clan.

I'm wondering which this is so that meeting your character we'd know what kind of history they'd have with him.
Winter 18 years ago
His maker was an Anantya, but was killed shortly after he was turned, so he was an orphan until he was taken in by the Tacharan.. he never knew about his anantya roots until he figured it out on his own much later in unlife.

this is the part where I mentioned his association
1810 - Winter settles in New York for a number of years, he becomes associated with the Tacharan Clan.
