A well-known figure in various forums for their fanatical dedication, they were known for committing to the role they invented for themself. According to their own narrative, they were a Vampire who had lived for over 150 years, which was absurd.0

If a high number came up, they would survive, and roll a one, and they died. The chances of rolling a one were high. For a Vampire, there was the species purge, and at that age, they would have experienced wars, if not, any other accidents. Even though Vampires hardly aged, they could still fall ill. If not a fatal disease, accumulated minor illnesses could lead to weakness and fragility.0
