Attire | Nosferatu can't blend in among most humans, so he dresses to fit the counterculture. Black leather boots, vest, pants and mask. The only things that set him apart from all the other body-modification freaks are his weapons. A combat knife is tucked into his boot, and he wears a very obvious shoulder holster containing a .60 Caliber Nitro Express handgun. A bulletproof vest is concealed under the leather one, but it's rarely seen.

Overall Personality | Generally a nice guy, but can come off as a bit rough to humans. Around other supernaturals, he tends to joke around a lot more, but he learned the hard way how fragile humans are and tends to be more distant with them. Regardless, he has a dry, sarcastic sense of humor, and likes to see how much he can insult people without them noticing it, just for fun. Still, he can be serious when duty calls, and when an op is on the line, he does not tolerate [DATA EXPUNGED]-ups. If somebody less experienced starts acting like they know his work better than he does, they will be smacked back into line. If they start acting like James Bond, they're off the mission. And whatever you do, don't mention Twilight, unless you want a half-hour rant about abusive relationships and "trivializing our struggle."
SPECIAL
Powers and Abilities |
Obfuscate: Can turn invisible. If he touches someone, they can see him and point him out to others.
Vampirism: The usual perks. Slightly enhanced speed, and endurance, quick healing and heightened senses. Because of his Nosferatu heritage, he is also incredibly strong.
Infiltrator: Skilled at picking locks. On top of this, he is a trained hacker, and can crack most systems with enough time.
Nitro Express: At .60 Cal, this is the largest handgun on the market and probably illegal in most states. He's a terrible shot, but he doesn't really need to aim with this thing.
Melee Gear: Usually a knife, sometimes supplemented with a machete or a sledgehammer.
Weaknesses |
- Burns like dry leaves
- Is burned by sunlight
- Loses all powers except Obfuscate during the day
- Horrible aim
Strengths |
- Nearly immune to bullets and blunt force
- Super-strength
- Stealth skills

History | Back during his breathing days, Garrett was a cat burglar, living comfortably off his ill-gotten gains. He grew up in the L.A. projects, and had used his natural gymnastic talents well. Unfortunately for him, these talents caught the attention of the Nosferatu vampire clan, and they recruited him. Things went from bad to worse as he was Shanghaied by the local vampire Prince, isolated from his fellow Nosferatu, and forced to be a hatchetman for the powers that be. During this time, his only companion was Heather, a girl whose life he'd saved. But his work for the Prince eventually ended that, too. A rival vampire sect kidnapped Heather, and Garrett tried to rescue her. He arrived just in time to see them kill her, and things were a little blurry after that. The next thing he remembers, the room was on fire, and Heather's killers weren't even recognizable. Shortly thereafter, he informed the Prince of his resignation...
With a box of C4. He has since rejoined the Nosferatu, although they're still angry with him for violating their oath of neutrality and blowing the top ten stories off the Prince's headquarters. Needing a change of scenery, he negotiated for a transfer to Jump City, which brings us to the present. He still works on-and-off with his old team, but they aren't currently in Jump City. At the moment, he's trying to establish the Nosferatu's usual spy network here.
OTHER
Anything Else | On account of not being alive, he doesn't share some of the weaknesses that humans do. He doesn't need to breathe, and his body remains room temperature unless he puts a conscious effort into warming it up.
Sample RP | {A ceiling panel in the Wayne Enterprises building slid aside. There was a quiet thud of something hitting the floor, and the panel slid back into place. An unseen figure walked down the hall, singing softly to himself.
"Old Saint Nick's got bourbon breath,
It's so could you could catch your death,
A cop sold me some crystal meth,
It's a merry f-"
The song trailed off as a guard left his post to investigate the noise. Slipping silently around him, Garrett opened the door a crack and snuck through. The next part was easy. The heat sensors remained silent as the cold, lifeless body walked past them. Garrett punched the code into the keypad, the door slid open, and he walked into the mainframe room. With a few keystrokes, Garrett had gotten into the source code and bypassed the firewall. Opening the net security controls, he activated a program labeled "Schrecknet."
With this done, it was a simple matter of getting out the way he came. A grate opened up on the roof, and a cloud of smoke rose up from Garrett as he reappeared. He pulled out a cell phone and hit the speed dial.
"Hub's active, how's it working? Good. I'll be back in the Warrens in by morning, I just have a couple things to do first."
