Jonathan Barker
[color=Purple He may not, as unvalued persons do, carve for himself, for on his choice depends the safety and health of this whole state; and therefore his choice be circumscribed unto the voice and yielding of that body whereof he is the head. Then if he says he loves you, it fits your wisdom so far to believe it. -Laertes

~What have you done? Is this what you wanted?~
Hey, you new ‘round here? Ah, well then, I’m more or less the dean around here. Pleased to meet’cha. Can I get your name?
“My name is Jonathan Barker. Lolita calls me that when she's cross, and Johnny when she's happy. I don't like being called Johnny, but I'm not about to tell Lolita that. Otherwise she's like to be cross all the time.”
I’ll have a hard time forgetting that one. Tough on the speaker, eh? Haha. You don’t sound too old, what’s your age?
“Age? I was turned in 1838 at age thirty. I was born, obviously, 1808. I have been frozen in time, as it was were, so I can't sound too old.”
Sorry, I hate being blind sometimes. What’s your gender (please don’t hit me!)?
“Man.”
~What have you become? Your soul's not forsaken.~
I think I’m starting to get you a little better. Alright, what’s your physique and general appearance?
“Unlike Lolita, I don't have a case file to quote about myself. Which is good, because that would mean that I didn't have a relative who tossed me without reason to an asylum. But I am tall with dark brown curly hair and blue eyes. Fuller lips than Lolita (though that's not much to go by) and high cheekbones, same as her. I am about six feet tall and I have no idea about my weight. Lolita wants us to cover all bases. She can, I can't.”
Cool. Any scars or tattoos? I’ve wanted one of a sparrow on my neck, but…”
“Not anymore. I used to have a few scars, ones that everyone collects, but once I was turned/changed/killed, it vanished.”
What kind of clothes do you like wearing?
“Mostly semi-formal. Dress pants and shirts mostly. I do have jeans and tee-shirts to blend with other crowds, but I have found that Lolita steals a lot of them. She likes them a lot.”
~You're walking alone from Heaven into Hell...~
I see, as it were. You seem fairly okay, what’s your personality like?
“I am loyal to what I follow, and I am determined to see things through once I decide to see it through.”
How’d you get here, anyway?
“I was turned in 1838 in a shot in the dark beginning attempt by the minions of Fleur de Lis, at least those who can change us. I don't think they knew it worked, they left me there, in the woods where I had been hunting with my beagles. My dogs left, frightened, and I lay there until a deer came by. I lived off of them for some time before I finally started a coven in Yorkshire in 1917. Lolita came in 1922, and we've been together since, the eldest and thus the leaders. We came to this war-torn place to see if it is safe for our coven, as we have been yet too long there in Yorkshire.”
Do you have any family?
“My coven, the Blood Souls coven, they are my family. I have welcomed them into my home up there and I have taken care of them. Lolita is like my sister and halfway like my wife. It all depends on which day or hour you ask me about her. Outside of her, no more. I was the younger brother, and my brother, Nathaniel Barker, he was to inherit the estate from our father, Lawrence Barker. Him and his wife, Alice. When I turned, well, they mourned me, but they never found me. They are all dead now, and I don't believe our family line has continued this far. Shame.”
~When the shadows remain in the light of day~
Alright, onto the important stuff. What’s your species?
“Vampire.”
Ha, impressive. When and how did you get changed?
“Hunting with my beagles. I used to go out alone all the time. One day my horse spooked and reared, tossing me off. I didn't think much of it, it wasn't that long of a walk, but then this creature attacked me. My dogs fled, they were scared as any, but then I felt this absolute pain in my neck and no matter how hard I fought...then I woke up. I was still in the woods, but I had no scars or anything, I was simply a vampire."
~On the wings of darkness he'll retaliate~
Now that we’ve gotten that cleared up, do you belong to a tribe of some sort?
“I founded the Blood Souls coven, a coven of...sixteen vampires, seventeen vampires if I include myself. But we are a memorable sort, I can guarantee you that.”
What standing do you have?
“Lolita and I lead our coven as we are the eldest of them all. Not many vampires in that part of the world. In your terms, that would make me priest and Lolita priestess, I suppose.”
What is your fixed power element?
"I am water. Or was. Am? Hard to tell. I am not that in touch with it. Lolita is more in touch with her earth than I am to my water."
Final questions before you run off; where do your loyalties lie?
“It pains me to say this as there are those of my kind who would hate me for it (they don't like their existence but theycannot die. Not unless someone kills them the correct way) but my loyalties lie with Fleur de Lis. I believe that death can be thwarted and must be. If I am here, if all my kind are here and are accepted as being those who defy death, then surely this idea she has must be true. It is all I have now, that idea. Lolita is on the fence and I so want her to see sense. I have always cared deeply for her and to see her in this war and to fall at the claws of a werewolf would just spare them having to do the same to me.”
Anything else I should know?
“Don't tell Lolita anything I have said. She needs me to be the everlastingly good Jonathan Barker and I think that if it is known that I follow Fleur de Lis and she is undecided she may lose who she is. She was already in an asylum for the living once-case 222-and I shudder at the thought of what one for the dead might be. Who could she be now? Case 587?”
