Val

Personality
When he was young, he held a confident air about him, quick to quip or correct someone if they had the wrong idea about him. It was rare to not see him smile, cool eyes calmly looking over whoever his assailant is, ready to make a scene. He was a born natural in acting, taking his skills to the stage where he compelled his audience, tugged at their heart strings, and eventually caught the eyes of his eventual sire.

Under the care of his sire, that confidence chipped away. Though he was intelligent, he was heavily manipulated and taken advantage of, his passion for the stage turning him into a tragic Juliet as he was forced to focus on the attention he received, garnering popularity in spite of his growing distaste to act. He became dependent, getting used to being agreeable, compliant, and trusting, which can still be seen in his current relationships. Though he's away from his sire now, he's hesitant to express himself, and has become an expert at showing a false image to other people.

Appearance
Valentine is an attractive young man, short in stature yet compelling, even before he was turned. Striking dark blue eyes, soft pale skin, and raven black hair that reaches his upper back in slight waves, he's often seen in business casual attire. Under his clothes are wide scars during his time under his sire's care.

History
Valentine was raised in tumultuous 1950s Venezuela, living in an impoverished Catholic household with a dearly loved mentally ill mother. His father passed away when he was relatively young. Despite his economic status, he went to school where he excelled in the arts and found his passion for theatre.
