Name/Nickname:
Malcolm Finley
Age:
20 (was turned when he was 19, so there isn’t really a discrepancy yet)
August 11th, 1989 – October 31st, 2008
Gender:
Male
Height:
6’2”
Weight:
182 lbs
Alignment:
Chaotic Neutral
Affliction:
Vampire
Nationality:
Born and raised in Bridgeport, Irish and Norwegian descent
Occupation:
He’s working on that.
Skills and Abilities:
He’s a fantastic swimmer (at least before death). He can use preternatural strength and speed when it suits him (he's a bit more practiced at keeping them under control). He can heal/ regenerate most injuries very quickly, and has limited otherworldly powers of hypnosis, which is more effective on rodents and small animals than people- but he's practicing! - and shape-shifting, though the latter tends to scare the living crap out of him and he tries to avoid doing it.
Weaknesses:
Dark beer, canoodling, vodka + type O + Dr. Pepper (it’s wondrous!); direct sunlight (he can stand a handful of minutes at the most), stakes, silver, garlic (he just thinks it’s gross), need to be invited into a home…Gosh, you could knock a vampire down with a feather.
Relationships:
His mother (Bridget, who doesn’t know about his condition) and little sister (Claire, who does) live across town, and he keeps in somewhat regular contact with them. He also has an 11 year old cat named Buffy. He’s kind of friends with guys from school and some other pre-meds as well (he does know Yuichi), and Fletcher. He loves Marlene to death and would do anything for her.
EDIT: Angeline Utkin is a fellow horror-buff. They geek out over Lovecraft and have an awkward, if well-meaning friendship. Though she also inspires his "chivalry issues..."
Personality:
Finley’s generally a good, sometimes audacious guy who tries to do the right thing and likes to have a good time. He can be ridiculously charming and adventurous in that respect, though he’s chronically unable to keep up serious, long-term relationships (not for lack of trying, though. Really). However, when he’s angry or frustrated about something, he projects, and the people he’s with usually take the brunt of his abrasiveness. He regrets it as it happens, but he generally lets it all out before apologizing. He’s book smart and fairly good in his major, but somewhat lacking in the common-sense department.
His condition has sadly taken a bit of a toll on his sanity – attempting to recapture his old life while coping with his new one is causing him to become slowly unhinged and prone to violent and unstable periods. He considers Marlene his lifeline and often escapes to her place to recuperate.
Appearance:
Bright red hair with bits of streaky blonde. Large blue eyes. Sloucher. Broad-shouldered swimmer’s build.

History:
Finley was your typical college student, sometimes studious, sometimes slacking, and always dying to get out of his hometown. An unfortunate one-night stand during a Halloween house party led to his current condition; midway through the party, both people vanished, and not long afterwards, the grisly murders began. After a period of neighborhood paranoia, a feral, bloodstained Finley was discovered by several of the young and monstery underground of the town. Not properly prepared to bring down a confused, fairly powerful and very hungry newborn vampire, they instead managed to subdue and wrestle him into the back of their truck to take him to Marlene’s. After much persuasion, a little force, and a lot of Marlene’s homemade blood-shakes, the regulars eventually coaxed him into a coherent state; after a few more, he was convinced of what happened to him and what he had done. Cue dramatic denial, angst, acceptance, and so on.
After some counseling and a few reassuring phone calls to his mother and friends, Finley gradually attempted to ease back into society and school. Though sometimes prone to relapse, he has a fairly decent hold on his condition, and - armed with food and copious amounts of sunscreen- he’s job-searching and finishing his sophomore year at Bridgeport College.
He’d rather not go around with periodic murders on his conscience or criminal record, so instead he cooks up various alternatives, ranging from collecting blood from gutted fish, rodents and other animals to a more ambitious and harebrained scheme involving robbing the spoils of the recent blood drive at his school.
Anything Else:
- He’s obsessed with videogames, Guns n’ Roses, Dr. Pepper, and horrendous plaid jackets.
- He was originally written in an unpleasant takeoff on Twilight as a young vampire who wore body glitter and played up the angst and self-pity in order to snag himself some tasty chicks. Though not so blatantly predatory in his Bridgeport incarnation, I wouldn’t put any of those thoughts past him.
- He carries around a small knife to use on fish and various rodents (or whatever else captures his fancy), and always has a thermos somewhere on his person -it keeps hot things hot, cold things cold, and warm and sticky things oh-so-warm-and-sticky.
- Drives a green, dinged up Camry. Can’t remember how many accidents it’s been in.
- LOVES old horror movies - Classics, the Mystery Science Theater worthy - the complete works.
