Biography:
Before The Curse.
Zachariah James Fitzgerald grew up in a 'well off' family in the heart of Hertfordshire England. His great-great grandfather founded one of the biggest publishing companies in England, making the Fitzgerald's one of the richest families in the country at the time.
Both of Zach's parents lived very busy lives. His dad was always away in London on business, and his mother had a super hectic social life, that of course came before raising her one and only child.
This meant he spent a lot of his younger years alone, wandering around their manor house, playing amongst the grounds, making his own fun.
When he grew tired and had explored every inch the old house, Zach started to get really into reading, something that until this point he had always thought looked kinda boring whenever he saw his father doing it, but there home library became a real escape for the boy.
He found that he enjoyed reading a lot, and the thing he enjoyed reading about most was explorers and men who travelled the world to vast unexplored lands, and Edward decided fairly early on that he wasn't going to limit himself to boring old England, he was going to be like the brave men he read about in his books.
He continued to read well into his teenage years, but obvious distractions often got in the way of his visits to the library.
In the same way he enjoyed reading as much as his father, he also liked to party and have fun whenever he could like his mother. Using any opportunity he could to throw lavish soirees whenever his parents left town.
This soon garnered Zach the wrong sort of attention, and a family that made their fortune printing the news, found themselves on the front page of it.
Zach's father had enough, and told his son that if he didn't fix up, clean up his act, and come and work for the family business soon, he'd surely be cut off completely.
So Zach agreed to come and work for his father under one condition, he let his son travel for a year, and then when he's back, it's all business. His father reluctantly agreed, and sent his son off with enough money to fund two world trips, and Zach with no intention of ever making a return trip.
The Curse
Zach travelled all across Europe, Asia, and eventually found himself in America. Having fun, partying, and breaking many, many hearts along his travels, with some light reading in between all of that.
One night he found himself in a run down old bar in the middle of nowhere and struck up a conversation with a pretty young thing. He laid on all his usual charms, and it seemed to work, but Edward couldn't deny he was equally charmed by them.
What was supposed to be a one night thing turned into a two night thing, and soon the two were spending almost every evening together. Never once laying eyes on one another in the cruel light of day. It all felt weirdly romantic to Zach.
Until he got a little bored, and his wanderlust got the better of him, or at least the lustful part of it did. After a night with another Zach came home to find his regular thing in his apartment, and boy were they angry.
They attacked the young man, but this wasn't any old fight. Zach had read about creatures like this in his books, something he had always thought of as just a myth, but knew from the moment he laid eyes on those fangs, and that look in his ex-lover's eye, what they were. A vampire.
They left Zach for almost dead, unsure if he'd make it through the night, but at this point, they didn't care much, they just wanted to inflict the ultimate revenge, and curse the man, knowing death would have been too kind.
After The Curse
It was the worst pain that Zachariah had ever experienced. Not that he had felt much discomfort in his life, but this a whole new level of torture, that he just wished would end, especially by the third day.
He struggled at first being a 'newborn'. The hunger was insatiable, trying to be tactful and particular about who he had at first, but it wasn't possible. He fed when he could, on whomever he could, a time of Zach's life he'd much rather forget about.
He did run in to others like him, just not the one vampire he wished he'd see again. They taught him a bit about control, but it wasn't long before Zach had fled again, never liking being tied down for too long.
The few vampires he did meet over the years did help. He learnt to control it, use his charms and natural charisma as almost a trap in the hunt for blood. Eventually finding he had been cursed with much more than an aversion to sunlight and a thirst for blood.
His Ability: 'Pleasure Inducement'
Fitz learnt that he had a unique ability. An ability that no other vampire he had ever met possessed, much like they could do things he couldn't. He could induce pleasure in another, without the usual effort that once took.
It started off with a touch of his hand. He was used to men and woman throwing themselves at him, and being extremely happ0y, elated even in his presence, but not quite like this.
He could make even the saddest of humans feel better and almost joyful, just with a touch of his hand, that soon, with great concentration and focus, became something he could do just by looking at them.
It made them put their guard down, not that he needed much help there, but it just made garnering a humans trust, all that much easier, knowing he could make them feel euphoric just by being in their presence.
It's a trick he uses less so nowadays, but every now and then when he needs to, it does come in handy, not that he'd ever do such a thing unless it benefited him of course.
A Fork(s) In The Road
After living for many centuries Zach has grown tired of his eternal life. He no longer feels the power he once felt from it, and as much as he tries to fill the void he feels in life with his travels and his usual party boy lifestyle, there is only one thing that has occupied his mind for all these years without fail. Finding the one who made him like this.
He has searched for many years but has never even come close to finding them. Wherever he hears rumours of any vampire recklessly creating new-borns, he follows, thinking it may lead him to what he wants, but most trails run cold rather quickly.
A few months back he thought he sensed his maker somehow, but his tracking skills failed him, only leading him to a quiet little town called Forks, but having grown strangely fond of the place, and thinking there might be something in it for him here somehow, he has remaiend, until he eventually gets bored again and leaves.
Summary
Born in England in 1943. Rich family. Manor House. Absent parents.
Started life as a party boy with a secret love for books and a desire to travel the world.
After getting into some trouble he decided to go travelling for real, vowing never to return to his home back in England.
Partied his way across Europe, Asia and America, falling in and out of love where he went, until he found what could have been his true love, if he hadn't fucked it up.
After finding out about his infidelity, Zach's lover revealed themselves to be a vampire, attacking the young man and leaving him to die, or become one of them.
He survived, becoming an insatiable young vampire with a special ability that means he can induce pleasure in those around him.
He continued to travel, party and do whatever he could to keep his mind occupied all these decades, learning to control his abilities from some passing vampires.
He is now much much older, and has vowed to do whatever he can to find the one who made him what he is, leading him to Forks somehow.
Other Stuff
He often struggles with the basic 'vampiric code'. There have been many times when he has almost wanted to 'turn' a human just out of boredom, but isn't sure if he would ever want to curse someone with this life.
Thinks of himself as a 'modern man' but sucks at using modern technology. He's had the same basic phone for almost twenty years and doesn't own a tv.
At first the biggest thing he struggled with was the bloodlust, but now, he just wishes he could get a tan like he used to. His favourite destinations were always the sunny ones.
He reached out to his parents when he was a little young, but never received a response, and never tried to reach out again. They both passed in the late eighties. His only regret is not getting his inheritance.
He's not a very fiscally minded especially when it comes to money and often has to get odd jobs to afford certain things, always leaning towards bar and hotel work, where he can also sometimes hunt.
He has lived through many decades, but has a real love for all things seventies. He loves the music of that era, the fashion of the time, and most of his furniture and home décor is that dated.
He's secretly a bit of a hopeless romantic, he doesn't use his abilities on those he has a real interest with, and doesn't have much real like with anyone of them.
Wanted Connections:
Friends: People either love Zach or they hate him, so I like to think he has a couple of close ones that he spends most of his free time with.
Ex/Fling/One Night Stand: He's a secret romantic and relies heavily on his charms and charismatic nature to entice potential partners. Most end up being single dates, that rarely stretch to a second, or a one night stand. Though he does have some very short lived relationships under his belt too.
Anything! Hit me up please!
