Name: Isaac Hart
Age (Real/Apparent): Real: 100; Apparent: 21
Gender: Male
Type of being: Vampire
Diet preference: Humans, simply becuase he hasn't realized another option exists.
Power: Isaac has a literal photographic memory. Any scene he tries to remember, that is any scene he focuses on retaining at the time it occurs, will remain part of his memory and have nearly impossible accuracy to it.
Likes/Dislikes:
Likes: Krysta Moonshine, Being careful, Making informed decisions
Dislikes: Needing to kill to survive, Needing to hide, Rushing into things
Physical Description:
Issac has dark brown hair that is medium length and generally has a somewhat messy appearance. As a human his eyes were a grey-green color, but now they are always somewhere between red and black depending on how recently he fed. His entire skin complexion is oddly pale and he has dark circles under his eyes. Standing straight Isaac reaches a height of about 5' 9". His physical body is fairly lean in appearance though somewhat sculpted, and overall would be misleading to his strength inherent in being a vampire.
Personality Description: To a stranger Isaac can sometimes seem like a storm cloud at the best of times, but that is understandable when you consider that he spent a majority of his human life in depression. He's never been an optimist, but he's willing to see the brighter side of things if someone can show him it. Commonly he will just seem very calm, quiet, and serious. He's not known for being extremely happy, but at the same time he's not overly sad anymore either. Overall he seems to have this air of being emotionally shallow, as in he just doesn't feel emotions much at all.
To someone who knows him he is quite a bit different. His friends, which admittedly is only Krysta right now, can get him to smile if they want to. He also shows a deeper side, calculating and analyzing a situation with great skills of observation. He's never one to rush into a situation, wanting to weigh the options over making any wrong moves. He always worries about the effects of his actions especially when he feeds, though that is one action he always eventually has to make despite how negative its end is. He's feels emotions strongly, but he isn't prone to showing these.
History: To fully understand the vampire that is Isaac Hart, one must go back to the beginning of his story. Issac was born in the 1900's. He had several siblings, though they never seemed to have enough to get by on. Much of the money his father earned was spent, by Isaac's father, at a local tavern. By the time Issac was in his twenties he believed himself to be of no worth, mostly because his drunk father would always shout such things at him and his siblings. He was fully intent on removing himself from this world so he'd stop taking up space and resources.
When he was twenty-one Isaac attempted to kill himself by jumping off a bridge, and he would have succeeded but for one thing. A vampire, Krysta Moonshine, met him that night. It was one of those moments where the vampire recognized the person as the one they wanted to spend eternity with. When Isaac attempted to kill himself, Krysta saved his body from being lost and then turned him, thus saving him from dying.
Now, a suicidal person being granted eternal life isn't exactly going to be grateful. He hadn't wanted to live another day, let alone for the rest of eternity. He needed space and time, time during which he learned his old life had been less of a hell than he once thought when compared to what he was now. Also time during which he killed his father, an act he mentally recorded at the time so it's a memory he can't get rid of even now that he wants to. When he made his way back to Krysta, it was to find that in her there was a reason to live, even to live eternally.

Writing Sample:
Matt's head turned to the door as a light knock sounded on it. It swung open to reveal Riley. He didn't exactly look happy when he saw Jeff tied up, but Matt had a feeling that was more just the fact that there was still a slug in his brother's head. It was good to hear that everyone was safe, though Matt had to mentally add that it was everyone except for Pheonix. And sadly, Jeff wouldn't know. Who knew when he'd find out, but hopefully after it was only his voice in his mind. No reason to let the yeerk spend it's last days using that fact for torture.
"Let's go then. The sooner we get back the sooner we can settle Jeff in for three days and.... well, Joel and I should get back to L.A. since we'll be safer there. I'll need to use your cube and cooler to give him morphs, becuase he won't want to ride horseback the whole way there." Los Angeles would be safer, and really things were safer in general when Matt wasn't in reach of Xeon. There was probably only one or two factions Matt didn't know the locations of. Xeon getting her hands on him would be like Christmas for the yeerk.
Matt took a moment to shake that thought off and stepped outside. As soon as he was out there he started morphing into the palomino horse. His saddle would be hidden in the woods still, he realized that. But fortunately Pheonix hadn't seen where he'd deposited that. He could hopefully get it back before he headed back to Los Angeles. After all, Raven had given it to him in a way. It had been outside the old hideout and he'd used it since the first time Raven had sent him shopping.
Done morphing he sent a message to the others. <<Ok, I'm ready. Once Joel and Jeff are on my back and you're morphed, Riley, we can get going.>> Tonight had ended in a bittersweet way. Both leaders had gotten their brothers back, but had that been worth the price of Pheonix's freedom. Just don't start blaming yourself for this too Matt. True, you already do, but you blame enough of the bad things in this war on you already. If it all really were your fault, you'd have to be a human wrecking ball.
