++ Overview ++
+ Full Name: Niklaus "Klaus" Mikaelson (though, let's be honest...I can't really claim the name Mikaelson, can I?)
+ Age: 23 (human) / 1034 (hybrid)
+ Birthday: March 10, 981 A.D.
+ Height / Weight: 5'11" / 170 lbs
+ Eyes: Light blue
+ Hair: Dirty-blond
+ Birthplace: Mystic Falls, VA
+ Parents: Ansel (biological father, deceased), Esther (mother), and Mikael (step-father)
+ Siblings: Freya, Finn, Elijah, Kol, Rebekah and Henrik Mikaelson (half-siblings)
+ Children: Hope Mikaelson (daughter) and Marcellus Gerard (adoptive son)
+ Special Abilities: Well, I'm an Original, so I can't be killed by anything but the White Oak Stake, and it also means the strength, speed, agility, compulsion, senses, self-healing, all that, they're stronger than any other vampires out there. Along with this is the inclusion of a sired bloodline of vampires, whose lives are connected to mine, and the ability to compel non-Original vampires and hybrids. As an Original Hybrid, those aforementioned powers are magnified for me even more than my siblings, along with the lethality of a werewolf bite to the average vampire, and the ability to sire my own hybrid bloodline, with the help of a little doppelgänger blood. As a hybrid, I'm not bound to the werewolf curse of turning at the full moon, nor am I bound to the vampire curse of being burnt by the sunlight. The Five's mystical White Ash daggers cannot desiccate me because of my werewolf half. My blood, which possesses all the natural healing properties of a vampire, is also the cure for werewolf venom. And, as has been proven, I can also procreate.
+ Heritage: Norwegian / Anglo-Saxon / Native American
++ Personality ++
+ Type: ENTJ 1w9
+ Greatest Strength: My protective nature. Toward my family, particularly my daughter and my younger siblings, and toward the people I care about. I would quite literally do anything to keep them out of harm's way, to ensure their safety. I'm rather resourceful, intelligent, creative, and my ruthless nature has a way of getting things done, things most others aren't willing to dabble their hands in. I have a great gift at intuition, and although I'll second-guess myself at times, my first instinct is usually spot on. I'm also rather good at reading people, at picking up on little subtleties, and just overall observation. I'll also call just about anyone out on things, quite candidly too, which, again, is often something others aren't willing to do. And then, of course, my stubbornness has a way of making me stand by my ideals and in my character, for better...or worse.
+ Greatest Weakness: My temper. I do feel as though it's quelled a little since the birth of my daughter, but don't misunderstand. It certainly hasn't gone anywhere, it's still always threatening just beneath the surface. 'Course, a little paranoia and pride can come into play and throw the whole thing off, too. I have a propensity for believing I'm always right (though, to be fair, I usually am), for constantly questioning people and their intentions. I have a very difficult time placing my trust in others. I can be cold, manipulative, cruel, vengeful, controlling, argumentative, and even downright sadistic at times. And that stubbornness I mentioned...can be both a strength and a weakness. I have a very hard time letting things go because of it. Another little thing (god, this list just goes on, doesn't it?), I will bury any offenses, hurt or shame beneath either anger or a flippant attitude, as I don't much care for others to see my more vulnerable side. I...care. Alot more than I want to, alot of the times, and yet, at other times, I can be completely callous. Have I mentioned how impulsive I can be?
+ Greatest Source of Annoyance: Betrayal, hypocrisy and self-righteousness. Also, I absolutely cannot stand feeling weak or powerless, and anyone who makes me feel that way.
+ Greatest Source of Annoyance: Betrayal, hypocrisy and self-righteousness. Also, I absolutely cannot stand feeling weak or powerless, and anyone who makes me feel that way.
+ Most Admirable Trait in Others: Loyalty. Unquestionable, unshakable loyalty. Loyalty to family, loyalty to a leader, or to a cause, or even to oneself. There's nothing I value quite so much, and nothing that's quite so hard to come by in its genuine nature. Also, honesty. It's certainly taken long enough, but I have come to believe that secrets are nothing more than a poison. And, fittingly, like the poison they are, they too need to be spat out.
+ Habits: Painting, sketching, carving, reading, playing piano, taking strolls, admiring music and art and all things beautiful, sparring with Elijah on occasion, bickering with my siblings just for fun and teasing each other, managing the city and keeping it all in order, even if that means handing down punishment as needed, and keeping a watchful eye over everyone, especially my family.
+ Ambitions: To see the world restored as it once was, to its former beauty, to keep the human race alive and to a point where they can begin thriving once more, to keep the peace in this city, by any means necessary, and thereby thwart all outside threats, and even some internal ones, to be the sort of person Hope might be proud to call father, and, by extension, to always provide her a parental figure who is nothing like the man who raised me, and, last, but certainly not least, to win the affections of the lovely Caroline.
+ Fears: Being alone, the loss of someone I care about, particularly my family, failing as a father to my daughter, whether in the form of any negative influences I might have on her, or failing to protect her, that Dahlia should ever get her hands on her, that she might end up looking to the "noble" Elijah instead of me as a father figure, that I'm beyond redemption, that certain members of my family might disapprove of my methods and end up turning on me, betrayal of any kind, both within our home and outside of it, that one day I'll push my siblings too far and they'll come to despise me for it, or that perhaps they already do, that they view me as more of an outsider in our family due to the nature of my birth and the things I've done to them all, seeing me as little more than the bastard brother they've been saddled with for the past thousand years, and Mikael.
+ Secrets: A great deal more than the many atrocities I've committed over the centuries, the one deed I regret most of all was killing my mother. Had it not been for that, my family and I would not have been on the run for a thousand years from Mikael, who was hellbent on revenge, and we would likely never have dispersed at all. Now, it's true, that we've finally found our ways back to one another again, reconciled and all that, but it took the better part of a millennium to do it, and I can't help lamenting all the time we lost with each other over the centuries. 'Course, I'm sure all that daggering didn't help much, either... As much as I've always wanted to protect this family and keep us all together, I feel I've torn us apart worse than anyone, and perhaps they'd all be far better off had I never been a factor at all. But, enough with all that dreariness! Another little secret, I often marvel at the fragility of humanity, and the enormous struggle it must be for them, weak as they are, to just go from one day to the next, and how passionately and ardently they fight to maintain their own survival. There's something...enchanting about it. And admirable.
+ Interesting Facts / Quirks: I killed both my parents. Granted, one of them wasn't really my parent, but the fact remains. I can be kind of a messy eater—or, rather, used to be. Feeding that way anymore is strictly prohibited, as it would sort of put a damper on our human population, and what sort of leader would I be if I didn't uphold my own laws? If there's one thing I'd really rather avoid being accused of, it's hypocrisy. Let's see...when my temper gets the best of me, it's been described as a "tantrum", and I've been told on numerous occasions that I can and often do behave rather childishly. Also, I can be both extraordinarily insensitive and sensitive. And I have a habit of forcing my friendship on people, rather relentlessly, once I've got my eye on them, even to a point of annoyance. Suppose the same could be said for relationships, too. I am quite persistent.
