Name/Nickname:
Kei Wesley
Age:
Appears 26, Actual Age is more than 1,000 years
Gender:
Male
Height:
5'8"
Weight:
168
Alignment:
Lawful Evil
Affliction:
Nukekubi (Japanese Vampire of sorts.)
Nationality:
Japanese
Occupation:
None. Wealthy.
Skills and Abilities:
Has a flying, detachable head which can emit a paralyzing scream, and suck out souls/life force to feed. A headless Japanese vampire. Wears a Magatama with possibly millions of trapped souls. With this he can die and endlessly resurrect. The magatama is indestructible, with good reason. Releasing that much energy at once would obliterate a huge area.

Sunlight is particularly fatal to a detached head. Any other conventional weapons will kill him in human form. (Though he'll resurrect.) Banshee wail doesn't work on brave humans or animals.
Relationships:
Jesse Bonner - Kei's incubus roommate.
Aiden Blaise - Kei's neighbor. An ifrit.
Mash - A 9-tails who has followed him from Japan to end Kei's murder spree.
Personality:
Cold, unforgiving, very angry. He's not very respectful of others, and considers human life worthless. Somewhat cynical.

History:
Kei Wesley is not his original name, only his most recent one. He’s very old, with a history dating back to the Heian era of Japan. He worked for a noble family as a servant. However, the family was brutally abusive to him and the other servants. Kei eventually became desensitized to the violence. On an uneventful evening, Kei had become the target of the noble’s ire. He raised a hand and struck back. Because of this, he was sentenced to death by decapitation. As his head was severed, it rolled onto the ground, eyes still wide and mouth still moving. It placed a terrible curse on all of the noble families and their descendants before falling still. The head was burned down to a skull, smashed, and then dropped into a river. The body was buried in secret.
Ten years later, the family had disbanded for the most part, and a new family had moved into the estate. During a wedding anniversary, the estate was torn up for remodeling. The new couple moving in ordered much of the land to be torn up resulting in Kei’s body being discovered. Oddly enough, the body had not rotted away and was still as intact now as the day it was buried. That night Kei’s head rose from the river, alive and aflame. It hunted down and killed the husband of the couple before re-uniting with his original frame.
Kei lived in this the household, this time as the master, but every night he would detach his head and have it fly across the landscape in search of human prey. Kei threatened the widow to keep his secret or she would also be a victim. She was able to keep quiet for a week, until she finally decided to hide his body one night while he was away. When Kei returned he frantically searched the house until sunrise. But as the sunlight began to disfigure and destroy his face, he found his body and restored himself. The woman was killed shortly after.
Over the following years Kei looked into the occult to find a way to preserve his life should another incident occur. He found a way to collect and store life forces within a Magatama bead, and keep himself alive even if he failed to find his body in time. On occasion someone would get wise to his inhuman nature, but so long as the bead existed, he could be resurrected endlessly. He hunted down the descendants of ANY noble family for centuries, until the act was no longer about revenge, but about the pleasure of ending a life.
In 1657 he reached the pinnacle of his madness when he was approached on the streets by a descendant of the people he’d been hunting for so long. The fellow discerned Kei’s identity, and exposed him in public, forcing him to flee. The following days he tracked the exposer down to Edo. In a flight of insanity, he pinned the victim’s fingers and toes to the wall with nails, lit a candle, and let him burn alive. The blaze would eventually turn into the Great Fire of Meireki, increasing Kei’s total kills by well over 100,000 in a few short days. It was around that time that Kei fled Japan, and changed his name, beginning his cycle of nightly hunts and hiding by day which had continued until modern times.
