Ethan Heartshot

History
We "A man wandering in the desert without water, shall never be as thirsty as a cainite fresh from the embrace." First cainite to ethan after his Embrace.

Early Years
In the early days of egypt, the sands and winds were always cruel. Ethan called this place home back in his mortal days, however this ended fairly soon. Abandoned out in the open by his family from that time, he crawled across the streets of the city he lived in, beaten and bruised after having been thrown out of the home he lived in. Eventually, he found a man who seemed to act out the role of a beggar... a man he had looked down on yet now was no better then them. This was his first run in, with his sire. The man known as the first cainite, a man who in reality was one of the most powerful beings of his time. Caine was his name though it acted more as a title. One Ethan eventually took up as his own, years later after he heard the passing of his Sire.

In these early years however, Cainites were never found. Their existence being called curses from the sun god Ra. After all, sunlight was their try enemy... yet some Cainites learned to live with these conditions through a marvelous finding in their blood, disciplines. Abilities which allowed them to perform wonderous feats. Each bloodline partaining their own crafts... all formed from the blood of Caine. Ethan being a direct descendant of this man, was capable of learning it all. His body taking the strength of the first ever discipline as his very own in a matter of months and eventually learned to walk proudly in the sun through these means. This was the start of his rule as the king of his blood, the Primarch of Cainites while some of Caine his other sons went to rest for long times, they were the slumbering ancients who would one day spell doom for Ethan.

Rome and Greece
In his new unlife, Ethan had seen many a term for his kind, Leech, Parasite, Cainite, and eventually stories began to form around them. They no longer lived in the dark, they lived in legend. Somehow their species had become known, even if only as a form of fiction, some of his kind had even been seen in horid forms, giving the birth to certain creatures as they had fought in their war forms. however, not all was bad. His kind learned to addapt better then ever before. They landed positions in the senate, they changed forms so they could become generals and heroes of legend. The stories of them being beasts faded as stories of heroes of the battlefield which would be forgotten in time, were made. They were finally growing accustomed to this world as a race instead of as an accursed human.

Dark Ages
Shortly after the roman era came a new time for Ethan and his kind, the dark ages, controlled by the church... now this is where the nightmare began. From the church arrived a group of hunters, specialists who had spread through every country imaginable to his kind, whose sole purpose was their downfall and all that was supernatural, These hunters were humans, meaning that the destruction of them was something that no cainite truly wished for... and from these times, they gained a new name. Vampire. They were known to the general public as myths, though some individuals would spread their existence to be reality... the information could no longer be kept a secret and thus they tried to work it into something else. Whatever information came out, they tried to falsify. To alter ways about how they would be killed, they weren't affected by stakes, it would only put them in a long sleep. They weren't scared of crosses they laughed at it. Garlic? goes great with a large loaf of bread. All of the various little things you could imagine were all spread by these bloodsuckers to retain their safety. Eventually, it was no longer distinquishable from one another, their true weaknesses and those fabricated by the "vampires".

Renaissance
The church was ever so strong and Ethan who by this time truly went by the name of Caine Primum Imperfectorem, had become something of a figure in the church its little booklet. The first killer was Caine, the reason for this depiction of being a killer like that was his assault on vatican city during the transition period into the renaissance. However, this was the last era that Ethan experienced before the modern era. Among his people were the original antediluvians, Ancient vampires which just like Ethan, stemmed from either a second or third generation... Ethan being a first. This... caused some problems however. He was... struck down. His clan conspiring against him, fighting for 5 days straight with the help of the church in order to seal him away. They couldn't outright kill him back than, so they staked his body, put him into torpor and left him for time inside of the catacombs, moving his body around with the order of the church before finally leaving his body inside of the mausoleum in france.

Modern Day
When Ethan was woken up by the youngsters of the Lasombra clan... Ethan was thirsty, so thirsty he consumed the blood of his own kin. It had been even worse than the time he had first been sirened... It was the worst experience he had ever felt. The blood feeling fresher than ever, even though these thin bloods were dirtied. He knew that the clans had let their blood run freely, embracing nearly everyone they could... and he had to stop this.

He then went on to retire and lived his life humbly kissing the feet of Wakandan King T'Challa and being his slave.

Powers
Enhanced Physical Abilities:
 * Superhuman Strength: Ethan to most is a man of exceptional strength. Through different forms of enhancement as well as bodily transformations, Ethan has grown capable of trading blows with the best. A noteable example of such would be the world serpent, Jormungandr whose size and might equal that of the god of strength himself, Thor.
 * Superhuman Durability: As an undead Cainite, Ethan is capable of soaking up most forms of damage with little to no problem. His sheer durability has recently peaked however, after absorbing the scales of the world serpent which has allowed him to only be slain by exceptional physical force, however, even with this in mind, as a Cainite Ethan his durability against physical damage is monstrous. Combine this with his forms of enhancements and he may be close to immortal.
 * Enhanced Speed: Though considerably faster then most mortals, Ethan is by no means the fastest man "alive". With a usual speed at around 120km/h he is certainly able to fight but he wont win any real competitions unless he utilizes his enhancements to join the leagues of Thor and other godlike beings.
 * Nigh-limitless Stamina: With his undead physiology comes one very interesting thing, a near limitless stamina. His body not requiring the intake of oxygen, water or any other form of saturation, means he can go on for decenia without batting an eye.

Shapeshifting: Perhaps one of his most used abilities is Ethan his ability to freely manipulate his shape. This includes his bone and muscle structure as well as his skin, voice and DNA.
 * Regeneration: Though in reality, a form of bodily manipulation, Ethan is capable of repairing his body in a matter of the blink of an eye through forming and destroying his mass into a pool of blood, sand and winds or other maleable forms.

Vicissitude (Discipline of the body): As horid as this may sound, Ethan possesses the capability to control any dead tissue as if he were toying with water. Before his eyes, the dead are mere playthings and as such he treats them just like that. This ability includes the ussage on the unliving such as zombies and other undead. Obtenebration (Discipline of shadows): With the mythos around Vampires, we all know of their inherent weakness to sunlight as creatures of the night. However, in same stories these very beings start to control this night and bring it into the daylight through the form of shadows. This Discipline is one such way to bring the darkness to the light in an all consuming fury. Blessing of Chthon: After the changes that Wanda had caused with her new reality had disappeared due to Chthon his interference, Ethan got blessed by this elder god. With his second run in with one of these primordial entities, Ethan now possesses the backing of both Set and Chthon. With the blessing of Chthon, Ethan is now capable of travel across all reality along with Chaos magic.
 * Mind Over Body: Unlike in the past, Ethan had been unable to properly control this ability, however currently he possesses the capability to use this on himself. With his mind he is able to control either his own body or those of others with similar tissue and shape them as he wishes. This in turn has led him through various different transformations as well as the capability to use his own bones as weapons.
 * Bloodform: As described earlier, Ethan is capable of transforming into a sentient pool of blood, his body disolving and reforming as he pleases. Through this ability, he is also able to dive into the earth itself and travel through the ground, nearly instantly appearing in a different location much like teleporting.
 * Flesh Rot: Perhaps the most unforgiving spell of vicissitude is flesh rot, a curse of the mortal coil which consumes and destroys the flesh of a target until nothing is left or until the limb it infects has been removed. Flesh Rot in short is a spell which converses through regeneration as well, the cells themselves being destroyed upon first contact as it continues to consume the target of its biological materials. This discipline has showcased to even bypass magical immunities such as those of the midgardian serpent.
 * Transcend the Flesh: Transcend the flesh allows for few things to occur, the first is the act to expell foreign substances or effects from the body, be it a curse or a bullet. This was showcased when Ethan used this against the might of the midgardian serpent its venom, saving both himself and cu chulainn with this ability. The second however, is the capability to phase through solid structures as if they were a liquid.
 * Oathbreaker: In the most simple terms, every connection between people and entities alike are oaths, be they magical, political or divine. Oathbreaker is a discipline which allows Ethan and his followers alike who have acquired this level, to sever the bond between two entities. Be it a patron god and an apostle, a relic and its host or a magic protection spell and its caster.
 * Corrupted Blood: Through various different enhancements and alterations of vicissitude, Ethan his own Vitae has grown corrupted with a multitude of effects. As of now his blood carries 3 different effects which are each unique, the first is his acidic nature burning through even titanium in a mater of seconds. The second being the blood of dracul, a ability named after the dragons as his blood lights aflame. The third being a effect similar to the one before where if his blood stays in contact for too long, it combusts much like an explosion.
 * Euphoric Agony:Pain is but a feeling that keeps us safe, yet what is there to gain from pain from someone who can be considered immortal? To one such as Ethan, Pain is but a hinderance, and as such, through means of Vicissitude, his pain was transformed into pleasure. This has had the slight effect of Ethan becomming a slight masochist however.
 * Horrid Form: Horrid Form is one of Ethan his more regular uses of Vicissitude, in short it is the way for cainites who carry the discipline of vicissitude to transform into their zulo, or war form. This form carries enhanced strength, durability, speed and reflexes as well as a constant passive bloodform. Physical wounds thàt are made upon the Cainite in this form are healed nigh instantaneous.
 * Shadow Play: The main way of Obtenebration is shadowplay, where one Cainite manipulates the shade around him in order to create physical structures in order to attack or defend himself. The most often used way of this ability is by creating large abyssal tentacles due to their easy shape and great maleability.
