Full Name:[/color][/b] Viral Ashenvale Shuukakshamaru
Titles:[/b] Thorn's Devil (Thorn Only), Loyal son of Z
Nicknames:[/b] Vi (Florain Only)
Appearance:[/b] Viral does not seem to put too much focus on his appearance. He can often be found in a t-shirt and jeans, or the much baggier cargo pants which he first arrived in. His grey trainers have been his constant companion for almost a year. He wears long coats when in the city, usually a dark green or black. His wedding ring never leaves his hand and his pendant is forever around his neck. The sigil rarely comes out of his shirt unless he is around those who hold his absolute trust.
When he was first turned Vampirism warped his features significantly. Unlike many, he had no choice in the matter. His features were sunken, and fangs fully extended. His feral appearance calmed itself significantly, and only a fraction of the traits lingered on long into his unlife. His fangs always remain slightly extended, but are rarely visible. A green glow is omnipresent in the depths of his eyes, particularly noticeable in dark areas. The light changes with mood, so many seem to look at the emerald glow rather than the actual iris itself.
Viral has one other distinguishing mark besides his vampiric traits, a scar across his right wrist.

Personality:[/b] Viral was extremely quiet when he first entered the city, but has grown in confidence since. Being so caring towards those he knows makes it no surprise he gets on well with most people, and he prefers a supporting role when he can help it. Viral has proven himself to have an extremely calm approach in all but the most excessive circumstances, remaining positive when many might have given in. His attitude easily surpasses even his vampire years, making a reliable father figure almost by nature. Being protective of those he cares about is nothing but a bonus in that field. This loyalty to family, including his dearest wife Thorn and their childer has been unwavering. He has his share of opinions but is rarely forceful with them, and although protective he tries his best not to be overbearing. On the rare occasion Viral takes a stance on a situation, it is something that he will not compromise on, as people soon come to discover if they try to convince him otherwise.
There is a second, rarer side of Viral however. He has a darker nature as well as his regular self. This other side of him can be interpreted as more aggressive, self-confident and forceful. Although not rude or uncaring, compared to the compassionate demeanour Viral usually shows it can be a frightening display. The few creatures despicable enough to earn a grudge from Viral have little to fear from his well-mannered nature, but that is hardly true under his darker influence. This nature could almost be thought of as Viral’s vampiric side, taking over when feeding, hunting or fighting. It could almost be considered a safety net, taking over when he is in danger or requires a level of assertive behaviour Viral usually avoids.
Typically Viral’s speech is in green, but under his darker instincts it is red, representing the change in his speech and overall demeanour. The clearest physical sign is the change of the green light in Viral’s eyes. Usually a soft glow, it focuses to a pinprick when his darker nature is in play.
History:[/b] Viral’s history is somewhat of a mystery. He never spoke much about it, never mentioning by name a city or town, not even a country from where he was raised. A few facts have been revealed during his time in Ravenblack however.
Viral was apparently known as Luke Lariveen, growing up with two younger sisters, one elder sister and an older brother. Although he never stated it, when they arrived in the city he denied none of their accusations. The only habit he admitted to having when he was younger was reading, but has yet to mention the subject. Seemingly, Viral lived a normal life up until he left the family a couple of years prior to arriving in the city. It is not clear what happened between Viral leaving his human family behind and his arrival in Ravenblack, leaving an inexplicable year or two gap in his history. It took the Lariveen family a considerable amount of time to come after their lost brother, but if this was happenstance or efforts on Viral’s part to cover his tracks is uncertain.
Viral’s life inside Ravenblack is much clearer. Entering the city he searched for several days for hints of a vampire, with no luck. As he left, turns out one found him. The vampire was Z, who force-sired him leaving him in an alleyway with only a note to guide him to the manor. His turning had left him gaunt and skeletal, with obvious vampiric features and the signature glow in his eyes. He met with his vampiric family and slowly adapted to life as a vampire, in no small part due to Lyesbette and Florain’s efforts in acquainting him with the darker side of his nature.
His humanity was far from lost however, by chance finding a human child on the streets in the company of another vampiress… Thorn. Unable to leave her and unwilling to give her away, the pair decided to adopt the young October as their own. Around this time Viral’s features recovered, but what caused the recovery is unclear. It was not long until he had fallen in completely in love with Thorn, admitting his feelings quickly which she returned just as strongly. Viral’s past came back to haunt him as the Lariveen family arrived, beginning a citywide manhunt for him. Through the efforts of Thorn, Florain and several others he evaded capture, driving the Lariveen family from the city for the time being. A hectic Christmas party let to Viral proposing almost on a whim, and Thorn had a surprise of her own: She was pregnant, and later gave birth to Malaki, a baby boy. Attending his sister Sakura’s birthday party led him to meet one of his best friends within the city, the vampiress Jadeleath who he later met in the streets with one of her newly turned childer. Z, his caring father found love of his own, marrying Requiem. Although sceptical at first, she soon lived up to his sire’s praise.
Viral trained relentlessly to increase his powers so that he would be able to help his family and make his sire proud, finally achieving the goal after the better part of a year within the city. During the final months of his efforts he sired his first true childe, Kirby after finding her already injured and attempting to preserve her life. Although Thorn had sired several by this point, it was his first childe by blood. He later adopted Driretlanish, who did some siring of his own.
He celebrated his anniversary of being married Thorn privately, and soon after had the honour of having Chiru’s family name bestowed upon him. There was no intention of letting his grandsire regret the decision, and made sure to keep his family top of his priorities. Alexander was sired as the second Ashenvale Viral brought into the fold by blood. Although with the rare exception events had been fine, conflict between Driretlanish and the rest of the Viral Strain soon emerged. It soon became clear that it was not in either the families or Dri’s best interest to remain within the line, and they agreed to part ways.

NPCs
The Lariveen Family, according to them are Viral’s human relatives, and he isn’t denying the fact. Mark is the only one considered to have any combat ability whatsoever. Control should be left to me, actions against them should be confirmed by PM first.
The Lariveen family fled after the first attempt on Viral. Presumably… they haven’t returned.
Elise Lariveen: The eldest female. She seemed very practical, all business. She seemed quite cautious, but eager to see Viral. Her dress sense makes her appear quite wealthy, more so than the others at least. She didn’t seem prepared for the gory details of finding her brother.
Karen Lariveen: The youngest girl. In early teens everything about her dress and behaviour marks her as a rebel. She was very emotional and passionate during the hunt for Viral. After Viral used her as a hostage to save his vampiric sister (among others), She was distraught, and left the city in tears in the arms of her siblings. Her concern for Viral certainly did seem genuine though.
Lisa Lariveen: The middle child. She was quiet in the search for Viral, but was arguably the most skilled of the group. She effectively was responsible for running the manhunt. She seemed the most understanding, and was clearly upset by the thought of anyone being hurt, especially Viral’s loved ones. She seemed very disappointed to leave Ravenblack, especially on bad terms with Viral.
Mark Larvieen: The Eldest Brother. Strong, Quiet, and clearly a leader figure to his siblings. Although he did not enforce any real order, the family seemed to follow his lead without question. He played a key role in the street fight, threatening Thorn in an attempt to take Viral calmly. He didn’t seem willing to lose his sister to capture him though. He called the retreat for the hunters. He seemed eager for a second round with Viral sometime soon though…
