Eric Ravenswood, a twenty-five-year-old Dhampir paladin, stands as a testament to resilience and survival. Born into the noble Ravenswood family in the Kingdom of Thornvail, Eric's life was marked by hardship from a young age. His father, a vampire noble, abandoned him and his human mother when Eric was merely four. Tragedy struck again when his mother succumbed to a mysterious disease when he turned twelve, leaving Eric to inherit their family's estate and titles. Despite his noble lineage, Eric concealed his Dhampir nature, passing himself off as a half-elf to the villagers and the kingdom at large.

As Eric approached his thirteenth birthday, his vampire traits became increasingly difficult to hide. Forced to hunt at night, he ventured into the forests and the catacombs beneath Thornvail to satiate his growing needs. His secret life came crashing down at sixteen when he was caught and imprisoned for six grueling years. It was during a daring escape that Eric returned to his ancestral home, only to find it engulfed in flames set by the vengeful townspeople. Trapped within the inferno, he emerged the next day, miraculously alive but covered in severe burns and scars that now marred his pale skin. His once handsome face now bore a large scar, a constant reminder of his past.

Eric's appearance is striking; his long raven black hair, streaked with red, is partially pulled into a half-up ponytail. His attire, a bold statement of his resilience, consists of a bright red and black outfit complemented by long gloves that conceal the horrific scars and burns on his hands. These gloves, along with the scars that crisscross his body, are a testament to his survival.

After escaping the ruins of his home, Eric fled into the forests, where fate led him to Zephyr, a fellow fugitive from the Feywilds. Together, they embarked on a journey of survival and discovery, each driven by their unique pasts and hopes for the future. Eric's unique quirk is his habit of softly humming ancient melodies, a soothing mechanism he developed during his darkest times.

In a world where his Dhampir nature is both a curse and a blessing, Eric's life is a constant battle against prejudice, survival, and the quest for acceptance. His journey is fraught with internal and external conflicts, as he navigates the complexities of his heritage and the harsh realities of his existence.
