HISTORY:[/color] Larten's birthday is unknown, but we can estimate his birth to be 180-200 years ago. His parents are Elizabeth and Jonathan Crepsley. He has six brothers and sisters and two died at a young age. When he was really young he started working in silk factory. Traz, the foreman, was a vicious man. Not many people liked him, but Traz made sure the job got done. Every day for two years, Larten and his cousin, Vur, had their heads scrubbed with a paintbrush that had orange paint on it to signify that they worked with the silk cacoons.

Now Larten and Vur did their job well and made sure that they didn't get on Traz's bad side. Unfortunately since Vur was a bit of a weakling he was often the brunt of Traz's anger. Things were pretty normal until the night that Larten saw his cousin, Vur Horsten, murdered by Traz. Out of anger Larten killed the foreman in revenge and disappeared into the night. When Larten was hiding he met a Vampire named Seba Niles and agreed to become his assistant. Larten spent years learning the ways of the Vampires, all the while still human. He kept Seba safe in the day time and hunted for their dinner.

After Larten was turned he began learning the ways of the Vampires. He found that he could flit, knock people out with his breath, and was not hurt when his nails scored a tree. Larten traveled the world with his mentor and learned a lot. At first Larten was opposed to the idea of drinking blood, but he was soon used to it and drank without question. One day he met Paris Skyle. Paris told Larten that he had once known one of the greatest writers of all times, William Shakespear. Larten had been really excited to hear this and learned that when William was on his deathbed he had asked Paris to drain him of his blood to perserve his legacy and Paris had done just that.

Years passed and Larten was dropped off at the Cirque du Freak when Seba had to go to Vampire Mountain for one of its Councils. The circus master, Hiberneous Tall, accepted Larten in without question. Larten then aquired Madam Octa many years later and trained her to be a circus spider. Over the course of the years with the Cirque he met many different performers. Larten became friends with a lot of them and others either died or left and never came back. He even saw that some humans worked for the cirque as a way to earn a living. He noticed that these humans kept the cirque's secret safe until their graves so no one found out that Larten was a vampire. On occasion Larten would return to Vampire Mountain every twelve years for the Council.

RP SAMPLE: [/color]Larten sat in his caravan thinking quietly to himself. The man had just performed for the last time that night and was looking forward to some rest and relaxation before the sun rose the next morning, but the Vampire could not seem to quiet his mind. He kept staring at Madam Octa as if she could tell him what to do. In the end Larten got up and left his caravan. He needed to walk to get rid of his restless feeling. One of the performers asked him where he was going and Larten responded, "For a walk. Keep an eye on Madam Octa until I return."

The Vampire walked on and soon found himself flitting through the dark night. Finally he stopped to catch his breath and knew that he needed to be heading back. A few minutes in the sun would be fine, but if Larten stayed in the sun for too long then his skin would burn and it would take a long time before he healed. So Larten turned back the way he came and began flitting. He returned to the Circus just as the sun was appearing over the horizon. Larten thanked the performer for keeping an eye on Madam Octa while he had been out.

"Well Madam Octa. Its another glorious day isn't it?" Like always the spider just stared at him, but thoughts of love and devotion drifted through Larten's mind. The carrot haired Vampire smiled and settled himself into his coffin. His chores were chores he did at night while the rest of the performers were up and about during the daytime. Larten laid in his coffin with the lid closed and slowly he drifted off to sleep.[/blockquote]
