Name: Xanalius (Actual used name varies from one form to the next)
Age: 1,232 next February (Actual physical age varies from one form to the next)
Gender: Originally Male (Present gender varies from one form to the next)
Race: Vampire (Special, see powers)
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Power Level: Mid-tier Medium (5)
Timeline: Flexible due to age
Appearance: Varies too drastically from one form to the next to give an actual description. Original appearance has long been lost to the annals of time.
Personality: Xanalius is a serial killer with no serial other than the state of the bodies he leaves behind. His victims are selected solely on the whim of what kind of form he would like to experience next. He changes his presentation of himself according to what form he has and what results he wants as easily as one changes clothes. As little children, he puts on an innocent, carefree facade, while he may portray himself seductively as a woman or confident and rowdy as a man. The only constant is his bloodlust and the craving for the rush of power sucking the life from his victims gives him.
History:
Xanalius has been following this procedure for a long time, luring his victims in, getting close, then taking over their identities. He studies each person intently to the point where he knows everything about them and can slip into their roles in life like slipping on a pair of shoes. Each body is self-sufficient and ages normally, and he may keep a particular form for years, particularly when he takes the role over as a child. No matter how long he puts it off, however, he inevitably gives in to his bloodlust again.
There are several rules that even he follows, however. He will never kill the parents who raised him or anyone that shows him kindness, assuming the latter is a momentary meeting. He sees it as returning a favor for a favor, and sees himself as a gentleman, or whatever the equivalent term for his form at the time may be. He will also not kill someone whom a lot of others depend on, again part of the serial killer's warped sense of morality.
Powers: Possesses supernatural strength and absorbs blood directly through the flesh through touch, leaving nothing but a withered husk of a corpse while taking the victim's form in the process. This is not an optional side-effect, so he has to be very particular about who he selects, as he also becomes afflicted with any allergies, weaknesses and illnesses the victim had until his next kill.
Equipment: None, unless he takes over, like, a police officer or soldier or something.
Weakness: Ultraviolet radiation (a.k.a. sunlight), holy objects and sites, also cannot draw blood as a traditional vampire, but must instead make solid, complete, unbroken contact with the victim, usually by grabbing their bare neck with a hand.

History:
She thought he was her lover, and he played the part well, their nude bodies lavishing each other with playful caresses as they teased one another, a nip on the earlobe, a suggestive brush on the hip.
"Oh, how I've missed you," she gasped as he squeezed her chest.
His hand traced up her shoulder to the side of her neck. "And I, you," he agreed. "Allow me to remedy that ..." She thought he meant something else, or she did for a moment before his hand closed around her neck.
She writhed in agony, but his superhuman grip kept her from crying out, instead limiting her to amusingly traumatic gurgles and gulps as she seized beneath his steady palm. Her eyes rolled back and her tongue lolled as her soft, supple flesh aged, wrinkled and dried. It was a long, drawn-out death and he savored every moment of it as he felt her life force flowing into him, even as his own form shrank and became more slender, soft curves replacing his chiseled body.
And finally, there was nothing but a withered husk, not unlike an ancient corpse found within a tomb, and the hand that released the empty shell was that of the woman who had just so gruesomely passed away. She reached up and with a coy smile felt the soft weight of her left breast in her hand. Yes, this body would do for a while, she mused as she moved over and picked up her clothes, donning them one at a time.
The next state over had a wonderful little daycare that was looking for a woman with her credentials, too. Her lush lips turned up in a hungry smile as she slipped her shoes on. That could be fun. It had been a good millennium since she had last experienced the joys of childhood, after all ...
