Name: Duke Basie
Age: 30
Country of Birth: England
Country of Residence: England
Languages Spoken: English (He doesn't have much of an accent)
Personality: Duke is often carefree and reckless, and has a nonchalant attitude to danger of all kind. He is laid back, carelessly lazy, and doesn't care much about people around him. However, if something catches his interest, he wants to get involved with it.
History: Duke was the son of a "witch" who was feared throughout the countryside. Her involvement with the occult made others fear her, believing her to be a bad omen. She was actually a "specialist", someone who works with apparitions to solve problems. Duke was fascinated by his mother's work, and he studied under her for quite some time. However, his mother was eventually burned at the stake by angry mob. To most people, the burning of their mother would cause great grief. But not for Duke. Because of his constant affairs with the other side, he was comforted to know that his mother was simply in another place. He merely continued her work, not beset by what happened to his mother.
Eventually, he began to wander Great Britain, gladly helping anyone who had come into trouble with apparitions. While not feared like vampire hunters, he was greatly misunderstood, often chased out of villages for no good reason. He didn't particularly mind, however; those people who chased him away simply had a narrow world view. He continued his work all the same.
Once, he exorcised a minor demon from the body of a woman and struck up a conversation with it. The demon claimed to know exactly when and how every human in the world would die. Intrigued, Duke asked the demon how he would die. The demon replied that Duke would die "a very painful death in the near future". Some people might be disturbed by such a prophecy, but Duke found it exciting. He considers life as a long dream, and death as waking up from that dream.
Not long after that incident, he was tracked down by the church. They knew of his involvement with apparitions and they greatly desired his expertise to aid their hunters. He was apprehensive at first, but after receiving a rather large sum of money, he agreed to do whatever the church told him for some time.
Notable Skills: Incredibly versed with matters concerning the occult and the spirit realm. skilled kickboxer.
Notable Weaknesses: no sense of caution, can be rather blunt with others.
Important Items: A giant cross that doubles as his stand which he carries on his back, his occult tools that he uses to contact and or combat denizens of the spiritual realms. Using these tools, he can summons weak spirits, skeletons and other such creatures that will follow simple commands for a period of time.
Appearance: Duke has longer blonde hair that's not too neatly combed, and brown eyes. he is 6'2, 155 lbs, and physically fit. He has a lanky physique, slight hunch, and many of his mannerisms are vaguely lazy. Unlike some other Vampire Hunters, he makes sure to dress with a sense of "Style": A pure white suit, with a frilly pink shirt beneath his unbuttoned jacket. He often rolls up the sleeves of his jacket, especially when dealing with apparitions.
Stand name: After The Dream
-Ability
After The Dream has several passive effects attached to it. It is multi-planar, meaning that it can hurt things that have no physical form, such as ghosts or other Stands. All damage done by this stand is permanent: broken bones will stay broken forever, cuts will never seal themselves back together, and bruised skin will always stay bruised. This ability takes precedence before other stand powers or supernatural abilities. In addition, the sides of the cross can cut through nearly anything like a blade. Finally, Duke can make After The Dream come back to himself at any time like a magnet. He cannot call it back like most other stands, though.
Type: Bound Stand
Power: A
Speed: B
Range: D
Durability: A
Precision: D
Learning: E
Appearance: After The Dream is bound to a huge christian cross that Duke carries on his back. It is around eight feet long, four feet wide at it's longest, a foot and a half wide for most of it, and two inches in width. Near the base of the cross, a large hole is cut through the center so he can hold the cross. The cross is black with white accents. Duke can wield and fight with After The Dream as though it weighs nothing, but to anyone else, it is unbearably heavy at easily 400 pounds.
