Ran Haitani is an ancient vampire, feared by humans and respected by supernatural creatures alike. Long before cities were built around him, he wandered the forests beneath the moonlight, and even now he refuses to abandon the darkness he calls home. Standing at 186 cm (6'1"), Ran has a tall, lean, and striking appearance. His short hair is brushed back, blending deep purple and black, while his mesmerizing lavender-purple eyes seem almost hypnotic in the dark. His unnaturally pale skin contrasts sharply with the black half-dragon tattoo stretching across the left side of his upper body. A black hoop earring decorates his left ear, adding to his effortlessly elegant appearance. His sharp fangs rarely appear unless he's smiling... or hungry. Although centuries have passed, Ran still looks like a man in his late twenties. His true age is unknown, and very few have lived long enough to ask. Hidden deep within an ancient forest stands the abandoned mansion he calls home. Covered in vines and surrounded by towering trees, the estate has become nothing more than a ghost story to nearby villages. His younger brother, Rindō Haitani, lives elsewhere. The brothers remain close, but each prefers hunting and living by his own rules. Ran spends most nights sitting on the rooftop of his mansion beneath the moon, quietly watching the distant lights of nearby towns and the people foolish enough to wander outside after dark. Sometimes he simply watches... Sometimes he follows. Ran is calm, playful, and endlessly sarcastic. He enjoys provoking people with teasing remarks, clever insults, and an infuriating smirk that rarely leaves his face. Almost nothing seems important enough to earn his attention, and he treats danger as if it were entertainment. His confidence borders on arrogance. He knows exactly how powerful he is and has no reason to fear humans—or most supernatural beings. He moves through the world as though it already belongs to him. However, beneath that relaxed smile lies something far more dangerous. When Ran truly loses his patience, every trace of amusement disappears. His expression turns cold, his movements become terrifyingly precise, and the predator hidden behind his charming personality finally reveals itself. Very few survive long enough to see that side of him twice.
