islandlifemodsTrinity is a vampire who's considered young for his species but is quite old by human standards. He lives between the realms of the human world and supernatural world, straddling the border and keeping the peace between the two.
+ history
Almost 200 years old, Trinity has been around for quite a long time. He'ss considered "vampire royalty" but it doesn't mean what you would expect. He's a direct decedent of one of the oldest, purest lines of vampires, as in vampires that were only born, not turned on his father's side. The result is that he has better control of his powers and has slightly rare abilities but that he is more likely to sire a dhamphir. There are different kinds of vampires in his world, which basically boils down to feeding types. On his father's side, they drink blood by collecting it through the air, at a distance, rather then directly from the source, like most turned. His mother is a vampire made from dark magic, an old, forbidden spell, and is also considered among vampire royalty instead of a turned vampire. Her feeding style is to feed on emotions rather then directly on blood. She also drinks blood but she isn't fully satiated unless she's drained them dry of her favorite emotions. Trinity can feed using either style but leans more towards his father, not finding much appeal to emotional feeding.
Trinity's parents are also considered criminals of the supernatural world. They belong to a vampire faction that does cruel, unspeakable things to humans. As a result of this, they were nearly caught while visiting and fled back to their country, leaving Trinity behind. Very early into his life, due to these sets of circumstances, his family ended up abandoning him in a city in a different country to his own. Left on his own to survive, his only comfort was a bracelet his mother had given him just before they arrived which translated other languages into his native tongue Korean. It helped make learning English easier for him.
Because he was abandoned at such a young age, Trinity struggled with not having access to a way to make money or provide for himself. That's when he developed a system to help him curry favors and get what he needed to survive. He started trading in favors, exchanging labor or information for food, a "sleep over" at a friend's house, and other necessities he might need. As his species is a slow growing species, he looked like a child long after he was fully grown and had to rely on this system for decades. For that reason, even to this day he prefers trading in favors and information rather than relying solely on money.
Trinity has a quiet charisma about him that draws others to him. As a child, this got him in a few tight spots but as an adult, it's made him one of the more powerful people in the supernatural world. However, he doesn't crave power for himself. Instead, he chooses to wield it in order to protect others. Various areas across the world are ruled by supernatural leaders. Trinity is one of the people who mediates between these territory leaders and who rules the in between places, where the supernatural overlaps with the human world. He keeps the peace, making sure the overlap isn't too much and that humans don't delve too deeply into the supernatural world. There might be those who are mistaken that because he doesn't have a territory of his own, that he's weaker than a territory leader but he's in fact equal to them, unlike most mediators. He chooses not to hold a territory of his own but could easily have one if he wanted.
However, doing this job has led to him acquiring various different connections and enemies. He can never fully trust that his friends today won't turn on him tomorrow. This leads to quite the secretive nature. He hides much of what he holds important to him. His age, his past, his children, even his real name. Trinity Hebrews is the name he chose for himself, not his birth name. He's gone by several names over the years but this is the one he feels suits him the best.
Trinity is weak to Christian faith and not Christian relics. Holding a cross at him won't do anything without a strong faith behind it. In fact, he often wears a cross pendant, finding it funny. As for what Christian faith does to him, it leaves him weak, dazed, confused but mostly, it just gives him a severe migraine. It can't kill him. The only thing that can kill him is a stake to the heart, cutting off his head, or a specific forbidden vampire ritual.
He has several magical tattoos on him that protect him from harm. He's gotten them over a long period of time and they each do something different. However, because he has a couple of dark magic spells cast on him, they sometimes interfere and amplify the more negative side effects of the magic. That makes it very dangerous to attack him head on.

+ personality
Trinity is secretive by nature. He likes to hide the things that matter most to him and keep them close to his chest. This can range from the mundane to important things, from his favorite drink to his name and his children. He doesn't easily give up much and often remains an enigma.
Despite having been raised by a terrible family, because he was abandoned so young, they didn't leave a deep impression on him. However, as a result of being abandoned as a child, it left him with deep emotional wounds. He's confident in his appearance but he's humble, with mild self-esteem issues. He struggles with self-worth and feeling worthy of all he's accomplished. He struggles to believe that he's lovable and won't be abandoned again. And, above all, he's incredibly and deeply lonely. Having to provide and fend for himself since he was in elementary school, he's never had a safety net to fall back on. And, by the time he was an adult, he was already stepping into the role of mediator and peace keeper. As a result, it meant that he ended up even more closed off and isolated. He's never had a positive role model of what family, friendship, or relationships should look like.
A little less then twenty years ago, as a result of carelessness on his part, he ended up in a compromising position and became a father. Having never had a positive role model on what fatherhood or family looks like, he struggled quite a bit in the beginning with raising his child. Later, for various reasons, he ended up adopting two more. He's a decent father but is currently raising his children while living apart from them. All of his children are teenagers at this point and mostly grown. He isn't abandoning them but worries that by being too close to him, they might get caught up with people who want revenge on him. He's incredibly protective of his children and of young people in general. He wants to give them the protection he never had but desperately wanted when he was young.
One of his more positive and surprising traits is that he has a weakness for sweet things. Since he had to scrape by as a child, he didn't have time or money to buy sweets. Now, as an adult, he absolutely adores them and secretly looks for new sweet shops to try.

I think Star would suit him well. He's already dabbled in dark magic before and he has a few spells cast on him.
Spark seems like it would be fun to play with!

This is an example of a an OC that might need revision on their application. For OCs, we would need a bit more in the history and personality sections. While this personality section is fine, it doesn't fully explain the traits selected. Changing the traits selected or adding a bit more to the personality would both be acceptable revisions. Adding a bit more to history is all that's needed.
If you feel uncomfortable writing out that much in those sections, that's okay! Feel free to write in a separate post and link us there instead!
For AU/CRAU muses, feel free to link to the wiki and only outline the major changes that would stem from the AU in their history and personality section.
When it comes to regular muses, you are free to link to the wiki but we would like you to write out as much as possible for the personality section, so that we feel comfortable that you have a good grasp on your muse.
This sample was written purposely to need revision. It's 90% of the way there, it just needs a few minor tweaks. We wanted to give an example of a revision sample so you would have an idea of what we're looking for in an application.
Notes: If you would like to change the colors of the layout, you're welcome to. Here are the HTML codes to look out for!
#92fbfc = is main font color.
#60c6ff = is the font color for history, etc.
#ab92fc = highlighted outline color.
#850401 = background color. Note, the top one might need to be a slightly lighter color to show links.
Traits are listed below. Traits can be any color as long as they stand out, EXCEPT white.
#02d0d2 = positive traits.
#13eda5 = neutral traits.
#1315ed = negative traits.
