"I'd noticed that his eyes were black - coal black."

His face is hard as if cut from the planes of a mountain, his skin is pure alabaster, white and perfect to the human eye. To sharper eyes he has a scar down on cheek from a sword blade. Lan's clothes are ragged and out dated but he does blend in with society, though he has a tendancy towards more clothing traditional from his human years.

"I will always tell you the truth."
~Alice Cullen~

likes:Lan likes a quiet life where he can move through society unnoticed. His main love is reading and writing, for a blunt hard man he has a soft mind, tending to write romance novels(which he oddly also loves reading this genre of book). He loves to play music, being adept on five instruments though his favourite are electric guitar, drums and the mandolin. Lan pracitces his sword work daily when he finds a peaceful area, he loves the fluidity of the varying martial arts related to european sword work and he likes the way it gives him peace of mind. He loves the freedom of not being lead by anyone, it appeals to his wild heart.
dislikes:Lan's foremost hate has to be the Pure one's, closely followed by the Volturi whom he deems to both be heretics and fools. His dislike of leadership is a long standing hatred that he know he will never be rid of. Lan dislikes the idea of leading anyone in his own right and yet he is a good leader on the whole, his dislike of firearms is almost as strong as that of leaders, he thinks they are cowardly and foolish. He hates religions like Catholosism with a passion for their purges and their hypocritical mannerisms and this leads on to his hatred of hypocrits and liars, a hatred strong enough to drive him to kill over it, he dislikes having to trust people but knows it is wholly necessary sometimes, though he tries to avoid it because he hates relying on anyone but himself and he loaths the nature of humanity and of vampires, he believes he has no future and hates what he is and his lack of strength to end his existance.
ambitions:Lan's ambition is simple, to find his place in the world, he has always been an outsider, hating himself and deep down he just wants to belong to something concrete and good, not foolish like hi sideals about humanity and vampires an dtheir nature, he simply wants to be proved wrong and find somewhere to belong.
abilities:Lan's abilities are as follows
1. Strength- As with Normal vampires he is extremely strong but Lan is stronger than every vampire he has ever tested it against, his strength has made them all look like a simple human in comparison, even newborns.
2. Hypnotize- Like the dracula of legends Lan has the ability to hypnotize most beings into doing his will, only the strongest of minds can resist his pull, his strength in this gift is mainly vampires as they are very much like himself.
3. Strong will- Tied in with his hypnotic abilities is his extremely strong will, his will is so strong that he can push out some of the less potent mental effects placed on him by vampire's for example Edward's mind reading.
secrets:
1. That he created an immortal child long ago but before the Volturi discovered him he passed it on to another coven's leader, a female whom he never learned the name of to the very north of the North American continent
2. That he was part of the origin of the incubus legends, he joined with another vampire to try and sire several half vampire's, they only ever achieved siring two, both the mothers died much to their discontent.
3. He is a vegetarian vampire and amongst the nomadic communities he fears persecution, he knows his abilities are limited and that he cannot fight entire groups of vampires, he fears his vegetarian nature will turn them against him so he hides it.
personality:
Lan is a grim man externally, cold and calculating and very withdrawn. He does nto appear to show any emotion at all. He is a vey closed man, withdrawn from society due to his hate of himself and humanity. He gravitates towards the wilds where he can jsut live on instinct, thinking over different philisophical issues that come to his attention.

Deep down Lan is a very emotional man, he feels everything keenly and has a very short temper though he rarely stays around civilisation long enough to snap. He is very determined to destroy himself and both vampires and humans but he constantly believes a change is on the horizon, though due to his pesimistic nature he dreads that change will make things worse.

history:
Lan was born into a noble family in Wales, the British Empire, when Mount Etna erupted a mere 9 days after his birthday his parents took it as a bad omen and so while raising Lan they stamped out as much of his free will as possible,until at the age of 19 he broke out of their estate and ran, only to run into the clutches of a female vampire, whom he never learned the name of or saw again but she left him burning and screaming in the forest.

During his first years he drank from many humans but it pained him to end their lives so until they began hunting him, when he fled they continued after him and this was when Lan discovered his strength and his speed along with his other gifts but it was almost too late, they had cornered him and now he had to fight his way out, it became a massacre, blood arching in all directions as he fought to survive.

When he broke free of the hunt he fled across the sea to North America where he lay in the forest, traumatised for many days until another vampire stumbled across him,one of the Volturi guard. Whom Lan willingly followed to Italy and directly to Aro who did not value Lan's gifts an dinstead simply let Lan learn to control himself through the guard and then sent him away again, it was then Lan was betrayed by the vampire he thought was a friend. The member of the guard attacked him, giving him his bite scars in a furious fight which only broke apart when Jolan, the Volturi, was called away and Lan was thrown into the dirty streets without warning.

The rest of his life became a giant game of hide and seek until he finally came to terms with what he was an dslowly began to move to a diet of animal blood as he wandered the forests, he had heard rumours that this diet could sustain a controlled vampire and of a coven that practiced it but his mistrust of vampires lead him to avoid the coven's rumoured location. He simply kept wandering, unaware of events in the vampire world.

"You will never put me through that again."

rp sample:

Lan stood upon the hard stone, his feet against the warm rocks as he looked down upon a deep valley, a river coursed through the centre, it's water glistening in the light and he smiled slighty, admiring it's beauty, the trees that surrounded him grew throughout the lower reaches of this mountain range.

Lan leaned back, his legs curling before the straightened, throwing Lan high into the air, sailing gracefull over the valley. His eyes caught every detail, dust motes sailing through the air away from him as he forced his weight through the empty space, birds sailing on thermals above an dbelow him and then two seconds later he hit the ground with a soft thump and smirked.
