⚔ ⋆ ── GODRIC

⚔︎ CLOSED STARTER

❧ * - @vikingod-eric ❧ * - hotel carmilla, TX

The night was still young at Hotel Carmilla, where the modest hustle and bustle of dusk was beginning to reach its peak. There were vampires in drips and drabs arriving at the reception for the weekend festivities and Godric was holding an apprehensive disposition. For the past few weeks, there had been caution thrown to the wind despite multiple urges that the threat of human intervention was only becoming more and more grave, that the Hotel was a prime target for terrorism.

He had a job to do, though, he was weary and uncertain this time around which was unusual for him. All eyes were on him to guide his underlings to safety. Though, there was only one thing holding him back, that strange and uncanny feeling of guilt that boiled deep within his belly, one of the most intense sensations Godric had felt in some time. His complex relationship with humanity lead him to tiptoe on the precipice of forgiveness despite the horrible acts the human savages committed that destroyed his last nest.

He could, however, rely on his doggedly loyal Progeny who would ‘climb mountains’ for Godric- his own words- and it quelled his worries, even if only slightly. The two had been keeping in touch, conversing over how the situation was developing over the past few days though the smaller Vampire had been neglecting some detail so the Swede wouldn’t brood on it. “Eric; I require your counsel,” he sighed, wearing that crestfallen expression as he resorted to calling upon his Champion. He hated hassling him, knowing how- like him- he was busy for the most part, far too involved with nightly endeavours but it was only a matter of time before they met eyes again. And finally, he had bitten the bullet.

No matter the call or complication, Eric would be by Godric’s side [ always ] without a shadow of a doubt. After leaving precise instructions with his progeny, Pamela concerning Fangtasia, he then took the next flight to Dallas, Texas to attend to his Maker’s needs. Whenever Godric called he would dutifully follow since it wasn’t a usual occurrence in the last century. Despite his feelings on the matter he had a personal obligation to his Maker. After the 1 hour flight from Shreveport, Louisiana to Dallas, Texas, Eric’s coffin landed safely in Texas at the vampire hotel, Hotel Carmilla. His light tight coffin was rolled in and promptly checked in by a human counterpart before being delivered to Godric’s suite.

While in the coffin his mind had been reeling as to why Godric had called him. Was there trouble in Texas? Were the wolves dominating the supernatural realm as usual? Had Godric found himself in some personal woe without remedy? Eric couldn’t cease in formulating scenarios within his mind. It wasn’t until his coffin was opened and he got to see his Maker face to face that he could truly feel somewhat at ease.

“Godric,” he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately kneeled to his Maker when he quickly arose form his coffin. “How can I be of service?” His head was bowed as he awaited instruction, barely raising his eyes to him. “I came as quickly as I could. I hope you aren’t displeased, my Master.”

PERSONALITY

Eric is shown to be calculating yet loyal and generally willing to absolve humans that aggravate him, unless they have grievously crossed him. His loyalty as Progeny to his Maker Godric is tremendously strong.

He has a great capacity for loyalty and affection, considering vampire nature. He shows this connection with his progeny Pam. These is also nothing he wouldn’t do for his sister Nora. It’s easy to suggest that his vampire family is of utmost importance to him.

Being a calm and methodical individual, Eric is mostly in control of his emotions. He rarely loses his temper, but has shown a great capacity for violence when pushed. Eric is unconcerned about being viewed as "the bad guy" merely seeing his actions as a means to an end. He is often secretive and can be somewhat of a trickster, but is honest and direct.

Eric is confident enough to not think he needs to prove himself. He has a joy of living and a sense of humor uncommon for vampires.

Being multilingual Eric is fluent in 4 languages: Swedish, English, French, & German.

PAST

Eric used to play near the seaside as a child. His father, Ulfrik Northman, was a Viking King. Although his parents wished that Eric would choose a wife, he was more interested in enjoying the pleasures of unmarried life. In the winter of 919 A.D. while Eric was having sex with a servant, werewolves attacked their home. They killed his mother, Astrid Northman, and baby sister and managed to overpower his father, taking his crown. The crown was handed to a cloaked figure (Russell Edgington) who walked off into the snowy night, leaving Eric to tend to his dying father. Before Eric's father died, he declared Eric a king and made him promise to avenge his family.

In 936 A.D. Eric was wounded in battle while searching for his father's killer somewhere in Scandinavia. Against his wishes, his Viking companions decided to stay with him. They told Eric tales of glory and of women waiting for him in Valhalla. During the night, an unseen force murdered his comrades. A mysterious young tattooed boy appeared and introduced himself as "Death" to the dying Eric. Having seen Eric's strength on the battlefield, the 1,000 year old vampire Godric offered him immortality through life as a vampire. When Eric asked what he would get out of it, Godric said "Life". With the lust for life for which he was renowned, Eric agreed and Godric turned him into a vampire.

By 1665, Godric and Eric were living in London, England during an outbreak of the plague. While doing a favor for King Charles II, Eric came upon a young woman, Nora, who had become infected by the plague whilst caring for victims of the epidemic. Intrigued by Nora's courage, Eric brought her before Godric, who turned her.

In 1905 Eric was in San Francisco. He rescued Pamela Ravenscroft from an attacker in the street by killing her assailant. Her lack of reaction to his appearance impressed him and he decided to visit her brothel the next night. Here he discovered that the vampires Lorena Krasiki and her progeny Bill Compton were responsible for draining several of Pam's employees. Eric confronted them and drove them away. He stayed with Pam for a while afterwards, at which time she asked him to turn her. Eric refused, saying that she had no idea what being a maker encompassed. Out of desperation, Pam slit her wrists and forced Eric to turn her or watch her die. Eric acquiesced and became a maker at last.

During World War II, Godric and Eric posed as Nazi Schutzstaffel officers in order to infiltrate "Operation Werewolf". In 1945, they tracked a werewolf down to a house in Augsburg, Germany. The werewolf attacked and killed an American soldier before turning on Eric, but Godric stabbed her in the arm with a bayonet, pinning her to the wall. Eric demanded to know whom her master was, but the werewolf said she would tell them only if Eric let her drink some of his blood. Godric was deeply offended by the idea, as vampire blood is sacred. Eric, however, did not care. He bit himself and allowed the werewolf to feed from his wrist. She then revealed that her master is a vampire, which shocked Eric. The werewolf took advantage of his distraction, pushing Eric to the ground and attempting to stake him. Godric intervened and snapped the werewolf's neck. Godric lectured his progeny about maintaining control of his emotions before promising to hunt the blasphemous vampire down. Shortly after this confrontation, Eric and Godric parted ways and would not meet again for many decades.

In 1986, Eric was with his progeny Pam in France. During their stay, Eric became enamored with a beautiful human woman named Sylvie and was unusually fond of her. However, Eric's waywardness and disobedience to his Sheriff put him into conflict with the Authority and was confronted by Nan Flanagan, revealing the synthesis of True Blood and the possibility of mainstreaming. Eric mocked both, much more interested in Sylvie than the concerns of the AVL.

A short while later, Eric's fun was put to an abrupt end with the appearance on the Yakuza. They kidnapped both Pam and Sylvie, giving him an ultimatum to only allow one to live if he came with them. Eric refused, offering himself instead, but they needed him alive. In the end, Eric reluctantly chose Pam and is forced to watch as Sylvie dies.

That same year Eric was relocated with Pam to Shreveport, Louisiana. The two are punished for their public activities by The Magister to run a run-down video store that would eventually become Fangtasia and 80% of all the money must go to the Authority. Eric was elected the new Sheriff of Louisiana Area 5, but only as a means to keep tabs on him and keep his waywardness in check. Eric and Pam are disgusted with this arrangement and run the video store for twenty boring years.

When vampires "came out of the coffin", Eric and Pam are still running the video store with help of vampire groupie Ginger. Ginger pitched the idea of turning the store into a vampire nightclub called Fangtasia. Pam would relay this to Eric and the two create and operate Fangtasia, though Pam had told Eric it had been her idea.
