Slayer Character Profile
Profile:
Name: Slayer (VA: JB Blanc)
Height: 6'1" (185 cm)
Weight: 70 kg (154 lbs)
Blood Type: Unable to analyze
Birth Date: 31 October
Origin: Transylvania
Hobbies: Haiku, competition, observing humans
Values: Sharon
Dislikes: Those with no dreams
Affiliation: None (formerly the Assassin's Guild)
Weapon: His own body
A gentlemanly descendant of vampiric lineage who enjoys genuine combat and haiku as hobbies. He abides by his own code of “dandyism” and can take nearly anything in stride. When it comes to battle, however, he wields overwhelming strength in great contrast to his calm demeanour. Due to his lifespan as a vampire, all events in human society feel trivial to him. That’s only one facet of him, however, as he finds humans and their turbulent emotions in response to such affairs both enviable and endearing.
He founded the Assassin’s Guild, only to retire after meeting his immortal wife, Sharon. Currently, he enjoys an untroubled life in retirement with Sharon, occasionally venturing out for some people watching.
Sharon (VA: Laura Stahl)
Slayer’s wife.
She is somehow immune to both ageing and Slayer's bloodsucking. No doubt it was these traits that attracted Slayer to her in the first place. She is quite possibly the only person for whom Slayer has no clever rejoinder.
She’s acquired a taste for haiku as a pastime, along with her husband.
