APPLICATION FOR FRANZ STORCH

[Jasper Hale]

Full Name (first and last named): Franz Storch

Hair Color (natural and/or dyed): Light brown

Date of Birth (day, month, and year): 1508

[If Vampire]Changed (yes/no): Yes

Year Changed: 1538 (age 30)

[If Vampire]Changed by (full name): Mary Starkler

Eye Color: Burgundy/Black

Height (in feet and inches please): 6'5''

Physical Description (include what they wear, how they look, and any special scar or birthmark that distinguishes them): He has light brown hair that is cut very short. His face is elongated but still stocky. His smile is very welcoming and alluring. He has a lanky build and is not physically intimidating, and has long arms, legs and fingers. He typically wears Italian style suits that are either charcoal or graphite in color.

Personality (include how they act, what they think of other people/vampires, how they think, how they react to different situations): He is very cunning and intelligent. Generally, he gets what he wants but is very seductive and trapping about it instead of simply rushing in and overtly demanding it. He is suave and has always attracted women when he was human and a vampire.

Occupation (include previous occupations, if any): Stone Mason

Special Talents (this can be something from academics to soccer to role playing to lockpicking): He has the power to absorb other's powers and use it, but he can only absorb one power at a time. He essentially drains their power by a factor of 65%, giving him the upperhand but allowing the vampire to still use their own power (only to a lesser extent/effect). He must focus in order to maintain the use of the power, and once he loses focus it is returned to its owner. This power CAN effect Bella, as he is physically taking the power from the person regardless of what it is.

Places Lived (no, you do not have to include the day and a half you spent at the hospital when you were first born): Born in what is now Germany but at the time was a part of the Holy Roman Empire, where he lived for years even after he was changed into a vampire. As a nomad, he traveled across most of Europe, Asia and Russia.

Family (include mother, father, brother[s], sister[s]): Father, Mother and brother (Philip)

Hobbies (what your character likes to do): Like his brother, he enjoys archery and car racing, and enjoys playing with his power around unsuspecting vampires.

Cars (if any): Red Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

Past (descriptive please!): Franz and his brother Philip grew up constantly in competition and he became accustomed to generally always winning. Somehow, he seemed to just be able to pull out extra strength from nowhere (which led to his absorbing power). He learned early on that it was to his advantage to not be outwardly demanding, and instead took a backseat- seductive approach to winning people over which led to his and his brother's first stone mason shop. For further information on his background, please read Philip's history, as a lot of it overlaps.

One night, a beautiful young woman came in and something about her drew him in and he felt like he had to have her. Franz immediately began to attempt to seduce her and followed her willingly outside, where she bit him and began to drink his blood. He does not remember much after that, except for waking up just an hour before his brother from a long, painful transformation. They lived with the vampire that changed his brother (the female took off after she was found) for years until they had more control, at which point their teacher abandoned them.

They were never taught the ways of the vampire world, and began to kill for sport as well as became unstealthy about their killings. This led to the intervention of the Volturi, but it was his cunning and charm that made Aro agree to give them another chance. As a result, he began to see how much he could get away with and his ability to seduce and charm increased. The teachings from their Protestant parents faded away as they realized how many advantages vampires had, and their views on the world drastically changed. They believed that they could what they wanted, and opposition could be taken care of, similar to how Martin Luther fought the Roman Catholic church.

Traveling through a town in Germany in 1754, Franz and his brother came across Frederick and Anya in a small shop and tried to seduce the female of the pair. She never returned the affections but they did remain in contact. For the majority of the their vampire lives, he and his brother traveled alone, with the only real addition being his brother's mate. He has no mate at present, and tends to be more of a leader than his brother who is often distracted by a his desire to conquer everything.
