¤ HEIGHT... 5'8"
¤ MEDICAL CONDITIONS... vampire, sees his dead fiancee
¤ APPEARANCE... Just being a vampire means a few things for Ami’s appearance. Perhaps most striking is his pale skin. It really isn’t too much paler than anyone else but it does not tan even with hours in the sun. His skin, however, is cold with no blood running underneath. Ami does not sparkle but he still cannot stay in the sun very long or he risks literally burning. He can stand about an hour in direct sunlight before he begins to feel as though he is sizzling. If he is outside in the day in the shade, he can handle about 5-6 hours depending on the strength of the darkness. His thin eyes are typically dark amber but after long periods of not eating they will turn black. He can hold back his hunger for about 2 weeks before he’ll snap, but he usually eats about every 10 days.
He isn’t exceptionally tall. He has a very slim, lean form. His body has almost a feminine or catlike way about him. He isn’t obviously muscled but he is very strong and powerful, mostly because he’s a vampire. As a human, Ami was never much of a bodybuilder type and it took him a while to get use to his strength after he was turned. Ami has short, shaggy dark hair; some would call it dark brown but he’ll tell you it’s black. His thin eyebrows are black as well. He has a very angular face with a slightly pointed chin and high cheekbones. He has a perfectly smooth face, blemish free. His lips are pale pink, thin along the bottom and surprisingly heart-shaped along the top lip.
When it comes to his wardrobe, Ami tends to prefer suits and more “traditional” style of dress. He isn’t much a fan of denim and will only wear sweat pants when he is “relaxing” at home. Any other time, he wears khaki pants or slacks. His favorite shirts are simple, cotton button-up, long sleeve shirts. He has no preference for colour. He wears one watch he bought in Switzerland centuries ago but refuses to sell to the plethora of dealers who continue to make offers.

¤ PERSONALITY... Amedeus is a pretty quiet guy. His best skill is thinking and analyzing. If there is any possible way to get something done, he will think of it. He loves to play games; not card games or board games but games of real skill and strategy. It is how he learns things. That, and lots of reading. He doesn’t have a sense of humor. He never laughs unless it is sarcastic or to tease/mock someone. He may be old and experienced but Amie doesn’t have much of a sense of responsibility or loyalty. To a very select few, he is loyal, all others are trash to be discarded on a whim. This includes most people. He is extremely tolerant of people and with a bit of moral fiber remaining because of Deserae, he does not like killing. He has no problem messing with minds but he draws the line at physical confrontation because he knows he would kill them. He would do anything someone of ‘higher rank’ told him to do as long as he sees a point to it. He respects only certain qualities in people. He respects people who take control and aren't afraid to back down. But he also respects those who are tolerant of situations.
With over 15 centuries under his belt, Ami has had a lot of time to read up and learn about the wizarding world. He knows everything a regular wizard would know, including how to use a wand for different spells, the incantations, the other creatures, the famous wizards/witches, etc. He has developed the ability to command a broom and can thus fly but he has no other magical capacity to speak of. He did purchase a wand and occassionally he can get it to obey simple, 1st year level spells but that doesn't happen often. Most of the time it does whatever it wants. It infuriates him to no end.
One thing odd about Amie is that he claims to see his fiancée though she is dead. It isn't that Ami thinks she is really there. He realizes that she is only a figment of his mind. He just doesn't care. He couldn't stand the thought of living without her and so he doesn't.

¤ HISTORY... Ami was born in France in the middle of the Dark Ages to a fairly wealthy family. They had money, a big castle, and loving children. Ami's father was an advisor to the king and everything was great. The witch hunts had hit their peak, people were being accused left and right. But little Amedeus never believed in the magical world until one night he met a vampire. He was walking with his fiancee, going home from the market. The vampire stepped out of the shadows and pulled Deserae back. Amedeus noticed immediatly that his love was gone and he turned around just as he heard a muffled scream and its sudden end. He ran into the alley, right into the vampire. Without any explination, the vampire simply bit Amedeus rather than drink him, yet he drank Deserae. Amedeus was never found by his family. He let them alone, not wanting to spoil their already tragic loss of a son by telling them that he was a vampire. He moped around for a bit, discovering things about himself as he lived. Since he hadn't believed in the living dead as a human, he didn't know anything about them other than that they drank blood. He began to lessen his thirst by drinking animal blood but that soon wasn't enough. He finally learned how to get human blood. He had to try many times before he learned how to 'properly' kill a human and drink it's blood. He failed miserably only once, turning a human rather than killing her. He never once attempted to make contact with his creation. Amedeus travels all over the world, keeping a low profile with the humans but keeping up with the local vampires. He took up his position as the Hogwarts librarian last term. It's still a bit of a secret that he is a vampire but the news is spreading fast. During the nights, he is either in his office reading, in the Forbidden Forest hunting or practicing with his wand, or in London at the Ministry.
