Let’s think…my last relationship lasted about four months. It didn’t end well. Lots of blood and tears.4

As long as he’s not tall, pale, with silky black hair and named Lakine, I’m good.27

Author notes
So, this was possibly one of the most entertaining projects I've ever done. The story it's based on "Vengeance" is really fun too...it's not done yet, but when it is I'll definitely post it. 
Anyway, technically it wouldn't be me asking these questions, since Tyrant's a girl, but she seemed like a very good character to use.
So, I little back-story: "Vengeance" is about a vampire (Tyrant) who has been living as a vampire since 1889. She lives with the guilt of killing her brother. The story begins when she is contacted by Phoebe, a mysterious girl whose parents have gone missing; and who suspects that Tyrant's sire, Lakine, is to blame, and enlists Tyrant's help to track the old vampire down.

A few things I would like to comment on:
. What made you choose the number of his age. Most are pretty direct with their numbers, 300, 500, 1000, but yours is an odd number and it kind of got me thinking why you'd start at that number. It makes the story different.
. Your character's, very...similar in the tone he is using to a lot of vampire entries I have had in contest in the past. But one thing I did like, even though he had the roses attitude I loved how throughout the entry you added little details of his history. Which linked to his personality.
. I thought his obsession with blood was a little clichéd how he revolved everything around it, yet don't hate me by contradicting myself. It made some of the questions interesting because it intensified his obvious obsession. I know he is your character, but in developing try stay away from the obvious; maybe do some more research ;] But needless to say his blood obsession is something I can understand.
. Your character has crap taste in music
Green Day? I mean come on & Panic at the disco. They were alright, now they are just a bunch of eccentric noise. But it is nice to see he has some very human like qualities. Which is something I notices throughout, and made him easy to connect to.
Without erasing my comments I thought SHE was a HE and gay. Maybe you should have mentioned that at the start, but adding it at the end was hilarious for my comments. Just reverse the comments and pretend I said HE.
GOOD LUCK
Blair <3
