Yantao Antioc linework

I am in LOVE with this picture. One thing though... If I'd started but a HALF inch higher on the STUPID paper, he'd have feet. -___-; *sigh* oh well, at least I'm getting a little better at fitting people on paper.

The Vampire Yantao Antioc Ublican.
Thousands of years old.
He belongs to the Antioc bloodline, some of the oldest and strongest vampires in existence today.

At several points in his life, he was experimented on. The first was a set of metal implants put into his spine, and wrists, in order to conduct electricity, and bring him "back to life"
He had been knocked out, and his pulse was so low, that a scientist thought he was dead. Finding it miraculous when he was "ressurected."

Due to the trauma of the implants, and the large amounts of electric shock, He lost his memory.
He stayed with the scientist for a few years, before he began to develope feelings for him. They had a brief relationship, before the scientist freaked out, and moved back home to marry his fiance.
A series of years filled with intense stalking insued.
(okay, okay, so its got a little Frankenstein flavor to it.... get over it)

Eventually after many more rejections, Yantao went a little bad. And started killing allot of people. After Decades of wandering alone, he was finally found by his family:
Father, and three younger brothers. He had no memory of anything that had happened to him. Most of this was due to a continueing infection caused by the quality of his metal implants.
Slowly, with much patience, and a little bit of magic, most of his previous memories were restored to him, excluding those involving the scientist.
His spine implants were upgraded by his father. Originally he was going to remove them, but for reasons unknown to himself,Yantao felt highly attached to them.
Each peice is a bit like an ear gauge. Opening the flesh of his back, clear into his spine. They are kept covered by either a set of caps, or as Yantao prefers, long metal spikes.
The metal that was in his wrists, ( or just above, I suppose) was replaced with a set of curved blades that come out from either side. They never did work quite right, and he usualy wears thick leather wrist bands to keep them in place, and to hide the scars.
He's had several other "upgrades" and due to all the metal, weighs around 500 lbs.

The "tattoo" on his forehead, thats not very visible here, is the marking of his bloodline, each male antioc is born with the symbol. The older the Antioc, the more intricate it becomes.

As a matter of interest, Antiocs bleed blue.
They are considered the first "royals" and it's said thats where the expression came from.

Brown hair,
burgandy eyes,
fair skin,
5' 5"

Yantao is EXTREMELY short, for an Antioc.
His father is 13' 9"

Over the years he's had few other relationships, all of them brief, but several resulting in children. All of them boys. Not an odd thing in the Antioc family, as women are Rare, and can only be had by other female antiocs.

Whether Male or female, it is customary that anyone to marry an Antioc takes on the family name.

He has a bit of a passion for machinery, and the only thing that keeps him really sane, is building motorcycles.
If I had ANY kind of talent at drawing motorbikes, I'd LOVE to show you his awesome "monster". ^_^ But unfortuantely.... that'll probably have to wait.... a long time.

He was my first really "original" original character. Everything he is, is mine. ^_^ I think thats why I love him so dearly. He really is one of my very favorites.
I hope you can enjoy him too. ^___-
