Name: Rodrigo Sarabia Arnál Nicknames: Rory Race/Type: Vampire [Pureblood] Age: 17 Occupation: Student. Abilities: enhanced healing, senses, levitation. Sexuality: Prefers men, but is flexible with his meals partners. Skills: Acrobatics, Swordsmanship, Hand-to-Hand combat.
Personality: Rory is witty, sarcastic, and clever. He absolutely despises boredom, and tries to find fun in anything or at the expense of anyone. He doesn’t feel negatively about humans, and in fact finds them highly entertaining. Rory tries to see the good in people, even if “the good” is basically comprised of nutritional value.
Family: Rory is the youngest of four (a brother and two older sisters). His parents feel that humans are much more valuable than what they can offer Vampirekind (a thought which Rory often refers to as “Humans are friends, not food.”) and have sent Rory to Aequitas in hopes that he may reform his “traditional” ways.
History: Born into an old, rich family from Spain, Rory enjoyed a prince’s life, having all the luxuries anyone could ever want, and most only dreamed of. Being the baby of the family, and the favorite, he was allowed to do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted.
This is perhaps the reason why Rory ended up at Aequitas. At a very young age, he befriended a neighboring vampire family of much older roots than Rory’s, who were firm believers of humans and other ‘sub-species’ existing only to serve vampirekind, a philosophy that was the polar opposite of what Rory’s father had tried to instill in his children. Rory’s parents were major supporters of superbeing integration and cohabitation in what they called, “mainstream society” and were therefore appalled when Rory adopted his friend’s ways of thinking.
Trying their best to reverse years of indoctrination suffered without their knowledge or consent, Rory’s parents were able to convince their boy to see things in a way that fit the budding social movement referred to as “The New Enlightenment”.
Rory, being a teenager, of course tried his hardest to please his parents, but could not completely let go of what he called, “The Old Ways”. He couldn’t bring himself to set good sights on a Lycanthrope, how could he? It went against his very nature, and try as he might, humans still looked more like morsels than mates.
Rory’s parents finally recognized that they could not be fully successful on their own and therefore opted to send Rory away to learn first-hand the value of co-existence.
