Caelen, The Immortal Ripper

Appearance: Age: Appears 30s–40s, but is over 2,000 years old Build: Athletic, lean, and elegant—muscular without being bulky Height: 6’0” Hair: Dark brown, almost black, worn neat or casually tousled depending on era Eyes: Piercing gray with flecks of silver; unsettlingly aware, as if seeing through time Skin: Pale, smooth, unlined; almost porcelain-like under certain light Features: Sharp jawline, defined cheekbones, straight nose; an arresting but approachable look Style: Polished, timeless; dresses to blend into each era but always perfectly tailored Movement: Graceful, controlled; measured gestures; rarely makes a sound that isn’t intentional Personality Polite, charming, and extremely self-controlled Observant and highly intelligent; reads people instantly Emotionally fluent—can appear empathetic or detached at will Flawed in very human ways: prideful, obsessive, sometimes impatient with the naïve Witty in subtle, dry ways; humor is rare but sharp Initially traumatized and guilt-ridden; over centuries develops detachment, then curiosity, then fascination Holds a twisted sense of morality: some humans are worse than him, some aren’t—he judges, but is unreliable Capable of deep compassion, curiosity, and love, but the immortality and cravings distort him Polished predator: he can be seductive or charming when necessary, but he doesn’t use it frivolously Psychology & Motivations: PTSD from war and first accidental killing; initially horrified by violence Immortality is a curse that amplifies desires and emotional intensity Early killings are resisted; later killings are more calculated and controlled Feeds on heightened states: fear, blood, passion, love, grief Seeks control over impulses but struggles when proximity to his origin-love echoes triggers the hunger Sometimes wishes to end himself—but fears the immortality’s consequences Keeps meticulous records of history, people, and victims—journalistic rather than trophy-driven Strengths: Immortality, unaging Skilled warrior, historically trained in combat Exceptional intellect, fluent in multiple languages, expert in history, archaeology, and art Charismatic and manipulative when needed, but subtle Patience across centuries gives him a strategic edge Weaknesses: Immortality drives cravings he can never fully suppress Haunted by his first killing—her memory never fades Emotional attachment destabilizes him Can be physically hurt, even gravely; healing is not instantaneous Existential guilt and awareness make him vulnerable to manipulation Notable Traits / Quirks: Keeps personal artifacts from every era he’s lived in Speaks archaic phrasing occasionally when stressed or nostalgic Smells faintly of iron and woodsmoke—a subtle echo of the battlefield Moves in a controlled, deliberate manner; almost hypnotic Keeps journals or letters to his first love even after centuries, never able to destroy them
