Character's Name: Oliver
Age: 649 (Middle Aged)
Gender: Male
Species: Tume Elf (Vampire)
Abilities:
Oliver's abilities are mostly just those typical of a Tume elf. He can move around quickly and silently, able to exist largely without being noticed. His stealth is well practiced, largely due to his chosen profession.
In the way of magic, Oliver is not particularly inclined, but has learned some basic kinetic magic to help him with his work.
Appearance:
For a Tume elf, Oliver is mainly typical. He stands at 6'3" and weighs 146lbs, making him fairly lanky in frame, but his refined posture keeps him looking more poised than gangly. Oliver is relatively in shape but not muscular, having more stamina than strength. As is characteristic of his species, Oliver has dark brown skin. Due to his vampirism, however, rather than having the depth of hue of a Tume, his skin lacks saturation and appears almost gray.
Oliver's hair has a densely coiled texture, naturally black and cut close to his head. Thanks to age, his hair has begun to fade to gray in some parts, giving him a salt-and-pepper look. Framing his rounded face is a short, neatly kept beard and mustache. His eyes, once gray, are now blood-red due to his vampirism. Also due to his vampirism, Oliver possesses long, sharp canine teeth that are easily seen in his smile. His ears are pointed, but not especially long. Age has given him the beginning of wrinkles around his face, especially crow's feet around his eyes, thanks to the fact that he is often smiling.
Regarding his wardrobe, Oliver always looks sharp. He is always dressed at least somewhat formally, favoring nice vests and jackets and shiny shoes. Usually he wears darker colors as is customary for his species, but he'll also sport lighter neutral colors if it suits the occasion. Oliver never looks disheveled or unkempt, and he would die before being seen looking less than presentable.
Personality:
Composed.
The most noticeable characteristic of Oliver's is that he is very calm. He is level-headed and patient, and it is difficult to break his composure or annoy him. Focused, he is not easily distracted. Oliver can remain at ease even in more stressful situations and is quick to help others do the same. He is particularly good at handling people who are rude or otherwise abrasive, and if these people irritate him, he does not show it.
Thorough.
Oliver does not like to leave things undone or to perform a task poorly. If he does something or commits to something, he is very thorough about it. All of his work is done with his best effort or not at all, and he is often looking for ways to go above and beyond expectations.
Sociable.
Though he usually works behind the scenes and without being noticed, Oliver enjoys being around others. It is easily noted that he is always smiling, especially with his eyes. He is a good listener and will remember the things people say to him. Oliver likes to meet people and make friends, and has no trouble being around larger crowds and feeling comfortable. He is not at all shy. There is not a particular kind of person that he favors, and will generally give anyone his time so long as they are respectful or at least well-meaning. For those who are otherwise, he is quick to stand up for himself or others, or simply exit the situation.
Sarcastic.
Oliver's sort of humor is the drier kind. It can be hard to tell that he is joking because of his typical flat delivery. He enjoys satirical and sarcastic types of humor and is not shy about applying these to conversations regardless of how close he is to a person. Occasionally he will use this trait in a less than amicable way to deflect those who test his patience, but with good company, he means no harm.
History:
Oliver had a rather unremarkable childhood as a Tume elf. Most of his life he has spent in his chosen position as a butler due to an unusual love of cleaning and organization, but also partially because he likes the idea of living with people of high status without having the status himself. Most of his life has been spent like this, working for various well-to-do families of various species in various places with very little trouble.

Most of his life has been spent like this, working for various well-to-do families of various species in various places with very little trouble.
Unfortunately, living a completely uneventful life was not in the stars for Oliver. Around his 600th year, the rural family he was working with was suddenly attacked by a small coven of hungry vampire rogues. As far as Oliver is aware, the entire family was killed in the feast, except for him; instead of death, the bites Oliver received afflicted him with the vampirism curse, something he instantly became aware of when he came to after the event. The transformation was, as expected, difficult; not only was he out of a job, but the sudden surge of bloodlust completely threw his composed self, causing him to spend the next few decades struggling with violent urges. Adjusting took a lot of time.
Presently, Oliver has a much better grasp on his curse, and has been able to return to his natural personality. As for his diet, he has learned to control his bloodlust so he is not attacking random unsuspecting citizens, but instead hunts lesser animals- not usual for a Tume elf, but he had known enough Pren to pick up the basics. Unfortunately, he still deals with the social problem that is fear of vampires. It has been difficult for him to find and keep a job since being afflicted with the curse, and he has been forced to travel around near constantly in search of a place to stay.
