1. This is a character that Harper Hayes randomly generated with my tables.
2. What is this character’s name? - Athanasius
3. What is their ancestry (i.e. human, elf, dwarf, halfling, etc)? - Vampire, was once a human. Turned on accident one night when he lost a bet and worked the graveyard shift for bricklaying. Since then, he continues to work the night shift and goes out once a week to ethically hunt game/bandits/humanoids/threats to satiate his hunger.
4. What is your job or role (i.e. farmer, hierling/mercenary, shopowner, bandit, etc)? - Bricklayer
5. How old are you? - Adult, late 20's, early 30's. He's only been a vampire for a couple of years.
6. Describe your physical appearance. - He grew up in a working class family, not well off, but pious human family. He stands 5'8" and is pale-skinned. He has a scar on his neck that he keeps covered, but he probably also has other scars as well. Well-muscled arms from hauling and laying bricks. He works exclusively on the night shift of bricklaying. Sandy hair, very average looking otherwise.
7. Describe yourself with 3 adjectives. - Determined, Simple, Meticulous
8. What is a valuable item/piece of lore/secret that this character possesses? Or do they value an ideal/concept or particular person (i.e. family member, guild member, honor, justice, love etc.) - His overall secret life of being a vampire, which he hides from his family and the village. He values his family (his mother, sister, nephews, and nieces). Athanasius still worships Pelor despite his undead nature, so he has a bit of self-loathing and guilt in this regard and feels conflicted (can't attend services and makes excuses). Athanasius has a gambling addiction; since he doesn't want to become a monster, he justifies this vice when he only used to only have a weekly poker night with his coworkers. People have noticed this notable change about his behavior; his family still support him but they don't understand why and Athanasius can't tell them.
9. What is a particular quest you would be willing to recruit or hire the player characters to go do? - Athanasius, in order to fulfill a bet from a game of cards he lost, needs to go pick a flower from the royal gardens, which is a two day journey away from the village. He can't travel there during the day, and he can't get there in one night and back. He doesn't want to get caught and discovered.
10. What would be their reward for succeeding? - If the players succeed with bringing him the flower, Athanasius will offer them what he can, a small handful of coins and being able to help introduce them to various townfolk. The party will see him hunting in the woods and he will explain his situation and offer a secondary sidequest to ask the party (especially if they have a cleric or paladin) to help him find a cure for his vampirism. This could be done with a Wish Spell (RAW), killing Athanasius and restoring him to life (RAW), or your DM might allow other spells like a Remove Curse, Greater Restoration, Resurrection, True Resurrection, or some other type of approrpriate magic/ritual. If the players help Athanasius be cured of his vampirism, he will offer them his entire cache of weapons and armor (magic and otherwise) and animal hides that he has kept hidden in the woods and not gambled away.
11. What would be the consequence of failure or refusing the call? - If the players do not accept the first quest, Athanasius doesn't mind, no big deal. If the players accept the first quest but then upon discovering that Athanasius is a vampire refuse to help him, there is a decent chance that Athanasius goes into a crisis mode and will attack the party the next opportunity he gets in an effort to silence the party and prevent his secret from being discovered. The party's refusal on the secondary quest is the final straw that causes Athanasius to spiral downward into monstrosity and eventually become a major villain in the campaign.

Optional Questions - not required

• What are the goals and motivations of your character? - Athanasius is determined to hold on to his humanity and return to being a human. He still loves his family, he cares about his village, he still worships Pelor despite his hatred of the undead. He doesn't think it is possible to be cured until the party arrives. He's determined to live as a human until he no longer can and he will find a way to end his own life if that time comes.
• How do these affect your general personality? - He wants to remain the same person he once was, but now he's more serious than he used to be. He lived a life of hardship growig up, but nothing truly bad ever happened. He used to be able to joke and be lighthearted. Nowadays, it's hard to be that way. He holds onto his humanity with an ironfist. His determination has been amplified since he's become a vampire.
• How do you normally interact with your family/friends/peers? With your enemies/rivals? With people who work for you/report to you? With player characters? - In general, Athanasius is very genial. He likes to get along with everyone where he can. He loves his family very much and affectionate with his nieces and nephews. He dotes on his mother. He lives around people he grew up with his entire life, so he's comfortable around them -- he knows them, and they know him. Yet, Athanasius feels the crushing weight of this secret of his vampirism that he can't tell anyone. He's been very welcoming of strangers, which means money/business and the roads and bricks get used and need to be replaced. Very friendly and open, he likes to see new people. You can sit down next to him in the bar and have a conversation and get to know him.
• Do you have a particular accent or language? Any idiosyncrasies in how you act and speak? - Because of his sharper teeth, Athanasius has developed a more careful way of speaking. He used to speak quickly, but he's now slowed down (he's cut his tongue in the early days). He's developed a slight and small lisp. He's more deliberate with his words. Sounds an awful lot like James Stewart/George Bailey
• What impact have you made on the world? How have you shaped the local area? - Athanasius is the guy that everyone in town knows. He's a nice guy, fun guy to play cards with, you can talk to him on the corner if you see him. However, Athanasius has removed himself from social life over the past couple of years. People have noticed that it's less fun at the tavern at night; Athanasius isn't there every night like he used to. He used to bring a lot of joy around to the townsfolk, but it's hard for them to notice it or describe it that way.
• Do you have any current problems that prevent you from being a bigger player on the stage? - His vampirism.
