History: Born into one of the best monster Hunter families, Zaeryniir (nicknamed "Zero" by his younger twin) had already started his training from a very young age - born with a strong lineage, great things were expected from him. However when his entire family was slaughtered by a Pureblood Vampire and Zero bitten at 14 years old, for years he battled against the slow and painful transformation into a fully fledged vampire. His Hunter blood rejecting the venom, making the full transformation drag out for over a decade. Taken in by a family friend, he constantly struggled to learn control his thirst for blood. Only one human had ever died from his own lack of control, and a price was put on his head. However a powerful Pureblood Vampire who remained close to the Royal family deemed him too valuable as a Hunter-turned-Vampire and sought to experiment. Zero was used as a pawn in a far more greater plan and played a very large role in the war that shortly followed between the creatures of the night and the rest of the realm.
The experiment worked and several rogue Purebloods and monsters were eliminated at his hand, including his own Sire & family's murderer.

Due to his major efforts in the war he was Knighted in the palace, named Lord of the Velarys Estate and granted a royal pardon.
For the past 48 years, he has relentlessly tried to come to terms with the creature he has become, after all - a Hunter-turned-Vampire was next to unheard of, and the fact that his own family was slaughtered by these creatures, and used him as a pawn in some "grand plan" made his disgust for them even more strong, despite being one himself.

His endeavors attracted the the interest of the Daedric Prince "Mehrunes Dagon", who made him an offer he could not refuse, and in return he was to pledge himself indefinitely as the Daedra's Champion and Servant until such a time that he be stripped of that title by another worthy soul. Bestowing upon him the Daedric Blades; Zephyr and Valik aid him in his battles, to carry out the Prince's bidding whenever called upon.

Deciding his skills, experience and drive was better serving the realm and eliminating the threat of monsters, Zero re-joined the Dawnguard - quickly rising in the ranks and living up to his legendary family name. Within a few years he rose to his current position of 3rd in command of the 2300 member organisation of training monster hunters and protection of royal families and bloodlines. Over the decades, Zero has eventually embraced his ever-increasing titles - some given and some earned - however, he would prefer not to have them.

It is now common knowledge that he has actively stopped looking for a cure to Vampirism.


*DISCLAIMER" This roleplay is purely based in the Elder Scrolls universe (mostly Skyrim), and due to the storyline I have set out for Zero, your character is required to be the princess of a/the Royal Family and the heir to the throne (flexible on the Tamriel-specific location of said throne), and human/elf race.
I can provide more info on the storyline if needed. Any questions please ask!
