a cross between a European and a Latin Allan is tall (1 90 cm) and very lightly build he is skinny and a bit hunched, his eyes are light brown, he used to be tanned but since his embrace has become paler and now is of white skin. his mouth is almost always curved into a coyish smile as if something is secretly amusing him (which is true)

Personality:

Allan is friendly and nice to others but this is only to gather information, his morals are next to nothing, he is willing to help a starving child so he can blackmail him later into doing a service for him, he will almost always get someone to do his dirty job. Although he understands his place and is willing to roll with it if its an order from a superior Vampire and the job is beneficial to him, regardless he always finds way to use those above and those below his station to further is needs.

Allan is always polite and never swears or uses rude words, but he tends to be sarcastic at times, he finds everything and anyone amusing and will toy with them if they are not a threat, if not then a little smile will form on his lips which is almost always in his face even in dire times

He will do what the ruling vampires of the city order him in exchange for information of any kind

Allan is still a virgin he never found any interest in sex or has been ever interested in people, he is willing to flirt but no more than that

Allan dislikes dealing with lasombras and tzimisce and will outright avoid them and their territories, Should allan find a fellow Ravnos he will seek to trade information with his blood brother or sister . Allan since he first heard of the True Salubri clan he has become facinated by them if he hears a rumor of a Salubri kindred he will start investigating with a strange obsession.

He respects the masquerade but sees no point in the camarilla or the sabbat and thinks of them at best as fleeting things.

History:

Allan was born in Bogota Colombia, in his mortal days was an architecture student, extremely laid back and often living in his own world, doing almost always what he pleased, after saving enough money he bought himself a Van, Taking to the road and leaving behind his family studies and friends. Living on his travels by doing small jobs, stealing, playing instruments and juggling in the street he found himself in the United States, after illegally passing through the border he drove all the way up to California there Allan blackmailed an officer to get the proper documentation.

One day late at night while walking in the city center he encountered a man of eastern European look, long black hair and circular sun glasses, with a small table and a deck of cards. Having nothing better to do Allan sat and played with man for an hour or two, the game lasted so long since every time one of them won the next round the other would win back what he lost, before the final rounds Allan noticed that the man used tricks to cheat(Allan also did so) having decided that the game had lasted long enough Allan accused the man of cheating, The man only smiled and said well played its been a long time since some has played me so well and had the guts to try and cheat against me. Allan was taken back that the man had noticed also that he was cheated, they laugh for a long time. Allan then offered the stranger to get a drink and the man only stood up and took Allan into the darkness.

sometime later Allan Regained conscious, he was in his Van that had curtains covering the windows, a note was attached to the wheel that had a series of instructions, a blood pack under the driver’s seat that he had to drink, Allan instantly drank the bag of its content out of instinct thirst and hunger, afterwards he fallowed the instructions where they led him into a circus where a Gypsy looking lady received him and told him of his legacy. Allan had become a child of the night, for some reason he accepted his fate quiet well. She instructed him for a few weeks and released Allan into the streets only giving Allan his sire Nick name Bukka the gambler (after much insistence on Allan’s part) Allan decided to track his sire and express his thanks (weather they are of ill intentions it’s yet to be seen)

He travel from city to city regulary dealing with nosferatus and other vampires, doing favors and errands for them while tracking is sire. During his travels Allan has heard rumors of a near extinction clan called Salubri he has become interested in the clan and wishes to find them considering a must do thing in his undeath.

Allan was one of the lucky few Ravnos to survive the Week of Nightmares the incident without permanent harm to his sanity or mind. He later found out that most of his clan was destroyed, he hopes that his sire is still alive, since many rumors still crop up from time to time.

Twenty years have passed and Allan has chased after Bukka only missing him at every stop, now Allan has come to the city of New York the last know whereabouts of his sire after doing a favor for a Ventrue who as a bonus also gave him access to a new bloodline Dominate

'ello Kozeph, nice to meet you. ^,.,^

As the new Moderator for the Kindred section, I'm looking over
profiles. I'm not quite sure if your character is indeed ready for
review, as the title of your post still says "WIP".

However, I have noticed a few things. Your description of Allan's power/bloodline/generation is a tad confusing. The official World
of Darkness Wiki states that because of the Week of Nightmares
that occurred in 1999, only about a hundred Ravnos (mostly of
higher generation) currently exist in the Final Nights:

"By the time the Week of Nightmares ended, there were perhaps 100 Ravnos still this side
of Final Death, and none of them (except Durga Syn) was of significant Generation or power."

However, I believe it would fit the storyline of this site better if
there were a couple of higher ranking Ravnos left, and so I will
allow Ravnos of lower than 10th generation, as long as there are
not too many of them cropping up all over the place.

I would suggest following one of three paths with this character:

1) If you want him to be somewhat powerful, make him older and of
higher rank. Kindred grow more powerful as they age. Of course,
you're going to have to add to Allan's history if you take this path.

2) Another way to expand upon Allan's abilities would be for him to
have learned a point or two from a couple of other Disciplines as
part of his "payment" for helping out other vampires. I wouldn't
try giving him anything too extravagant, but this could be a neat
way for your character to have an interesting edge to him.

3) If you still want Allan to be a Neonate, then you have to realize
that his vampiric abilities aren't going to be that high. Even so, add
a point of Fortitude to him. And I would consider making Allan a bit
more scrappy and a little stronger, since he travels the streets so
much. I understand his dislike of firearms, but perhaps he could
invest a little more in street-fighting or have a pension for knives,
something that reflects his background, unless you'd really just prefer
for him to rely upon his skill of manipulating people. I do like his
talent with leadership, it adds an interesting twist. And after all,
you can't be a veritable con-man if no one finds you charming. :]

One last thing: Whatever you end up doing with mister Calderon
(I like that name!) here, I'll probably be asking you to look over
your spelling and grammar. I'm inclined to be quite picky about
that sort of thing, but I'll try not to be a more lenient since I don't
even know if English is your first language or not. ;]

~May thy muse run strong Kozeph. Sorry I gave you so much to read ^.^;

[kozeph]

Yeah no worries, Ill try to conjure up something for allan. as for the grammar I know theres a bunch of mistakes, once I feel that his background and stuff are done Ill sit and fry the little buggers
