Hector Drake
From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe
Hector was a creation of mine, made in an idea of living nuetral in a warring time. His character (when I write or simply do any art about him) has always had to deal with both sides of a simple problem that expects an extremely hard solution. I tend to put myself up as the character and whatnot but hey, can't help projection I suppose.

Background
Early Years
Death had plagued the Drake family, the branches of the family tree seemed to be killed or chopped off. Most of the females in his heritage were completely erased from the document, leaving just a line of males who seemed to be capable of many things. Hector's great grandfather had been an occultist known as Gavin Drake, but aliased as Jared Cash to avoid authorities. Jared Cash seems to have passed down some slight knowledge of the dark arts to Hector, infusing him with runes that formed tattoos on his arms and back. These runes seemed to influence Hector's choices at a young age. Due to his dark, long-sleeve shirts and black pants, Hector was known as a goth up into his teenage years.
General Information and Intro to Film Carreer
Hector was always known for being a flirt. During all of high-school Hector Drake had seemed to be a ladies man, hooking up left and right almost every week. He had very few good relationships, far less than he had wished for, but maybe that's why he was in the business. Either way when he grew to a truly mature size, towering over almost everyone at an amazing height, that, scales today haven't allowed for accurate measurements. His life led into a very basic life, making money to eat and survive. He walked into the wrong building and was instantly cast in a porno, it was so rushed that he didn't even know the title. And still doesn't.
Film Carreer
Hector, after being cast in the completely successful movie as an extra, became a quickly growing star. His name began to spread among a few companies, casting him as some of the main roles as well as a star in a few random movies. He used his wealth to pay for a small studio that after a few movies grew enormous. The company was successful under the name Drake Studios and sold one of the most awaited films through a small adult book store. He was there for autographs along with some of the other stars and authors. After the business got hectic he sold the company to a few up and comings (Forgive the pun) due to the lack of leaders. Selling the company had landed him several million dollars and he still owned 51% of the stocks, keeping him in charge of important decisions.
Current Occupation
After going through some strange occurences and one hell of a bad choice, Hector became something of a celibate person. He works at Black Heart Hospital in Port Oakes and in a few other ones if the call arises. He tends to forget that his hygenical gloves are on him for most of the day and constantly catches himself with them on after-work. He's considered a male-nurse due to his low ranking, even though he's one of the few workers actually worth having hired. He doesn't seem to hate his job, as stressful as it can be. It just might, possibly be that he still has money from his previous carreer and needs no income other than what the few odd-jobs that his arcane abilities allow.
Leap Into Action
Hector studied a few tricks in black magic, enough to keep him alive in a world of supervillains and heroes. He studies up still on the few skills he know, improving the few magicks he has. [Will be filling this out as threat level increases and more powers are unlocked.]
Physicallity and Mentallity
Physical Appearence
As stated before, Hector is strangely tall with tattooed arms. His black hair is usually shaggy and reaches his wide shoulders. He has a goatee, formed in just the right way it seems after constant grooming. His form is that of the perfect athelete, strong but not too large, skinny but muscularly so. He has a scar on his left eye from an old battle in his earlier years when he knew nothing about abilities. He only has two piercings on his body and those are his nipples, it seems strange but it was something he chose to get done as soon as he could unconsciously.
Important Physical Characteristics
Hector seems to have a limp that's evident only in his walk. This handicap was formed from a fight that involved glas shattering into his hip where it could never be safely removed. His left hand is singed on the palm from the few fights with Hellion Damned. The hand was used for blocking the few fireballs that were sent at him, usually tossing them back to deal damage. And please, be careful with his solar plexus, it's been bruised from fighting against well trained bruisers.
Mental Attributes
Thought Process
Hector, although brute-like in appearence, has quite the intelligent mind. It's true that, due to being a male and having such a strange occupation once, he has some perversion in his thoughts. Either way, everytime Hector is in a conversation he has one main consistency: Say something when spoken to and don't stray off topic. He has managed quite a few conversations about one single detail about trivial things, although it is quite idiotic and pointless. Hector -loves- to be humorous when the time is appropriate, however he tends to be very serious, or simply there.
Telepathy and Other Abilities
Using basic parlor tricks, Hector seems to mimic that of a mind-reader while hiding his true knowledge of hightened empathy. His ability to pick up emotions and ideas helps out when dealing with friends or foes. Even if the person seems troublesome, or even evil, Hector can tell if said person's intent is that of an unhonorable one. Hector also has the talent known as Telepathy. He uses this technique to privately talk with people over great distances or on private matters. Don't be frightened if some thought pops into your head simply greeting you, chances are it's just a friendly bit of a hello.
