Name: Jasper Whitlock Hale
Gender: Male
Age: 20 (physically) - 165 years old
Appearance:
Category (vampire, werewolf, human): Vampire
Hometown: Currently living in Fork, Washington
Family:
-Carlisle Cullen (adoptive father)
-Esme Cullen (adoptive mother)
-Edward Cullen (adoptive brother)
-Emmett Cullen (adoptive brother)
-Rosalie Hale (adoptive sister)
-Alice Cullen (wife)
Strengths & Weaknesses:
Some vampires have extra abilities beyond normal which are an amplification of an ability they had as a human (e.g. an intuitive mind could be able to read minds as a vampire). Because he was charismatic as a human, Jasper can feel and manipulate the emotions of others. He also has super strength and speed, granite hard skin, immortality, and a keen sense of smell and hearing.
Jasper’s major weakness is that he cannot control his bloodlust as well as the others in the Cullen family. Out of the whole coven, Jasper has the hardest time being around humans, due to his untrained upbringing as a young vampire in an army environment. He was not taught control or how to regulate his blood lust. Edward states that all human blood is equally tempting to Jasper, unlike the rest of the family, who can notice the variations in blood scent in different humans.
Personality:
Jasper could be mistaken for cold because of his highly analytical and military mindset. However, his relationship with Alice displays his warmer side. The fact that he suffered depression after his years in Maria's service suggests a strong sense of conscience and grief over his perceived wrong-doings. When he was human he was described as being extremely charismatic, and therefore very likable.
He has also been shown to be a strong and forceful leader through his rapid ascent through the ranks of the Confederate Army. The fact that he is always a soothing presence shows that he wishes others to feel well and at ease, and will do his best to make that occur. Jasper is highly intuitive but also never takes advantage of his miraculous gift, showing that he is not malicious and chooses not to manipulate others. He also believed that a newborn vampire's instability is natural and unavoidable, and therefore had lower expectations for himself and his control.
History:
Jasper Hale, formerly known as Jasper Whitlock, was born in 1843 and grew up in Houston, Texas. In 1860 when he was almost seventeen, he lied about his age, stating he was 20, and joined the Confederate States Army to serve in the Civil War. Due to his intense charisma, he quickly rose through the ranks and became the youngest Major in Texas, even without considering his real age.
Jasper was turned into a vampire in 1863 by a vampire named Maria, when he was 20 years old. Maria was fighting a territorial war for claim on big cities in the south, such as Mexico City. Maria recognized that Jasper was high-ranking in the army, and therefore already had some knowledge of combat skills. She wanted a strong male vampire who could fight alongside her. When Maria found out about his peculiar ability to control the emotions of those around him, she found him even more useful.
Jasper's responsibility was to train the young vampires and then kill them when they were no longer useful to Maria, usually after about a year when their strength had begun to fade. After about a century of this, he grew weary of the lifestyle.
An old vampire colleague of his, named Peter, persuaded him to escape from Maria. For a time, he wandered with Peter and his companion, Charlotte, but soon came to feel remorse for his prey because he experienced their emotions as he took their lives. As a result, he ran away and wandered on his own until he found Alice Cullen, whom he later recognized as his true love, waiting for him in a half-empty diner in Philadelphia. She had seen through her prescience they would find the Cullens and live there together in relative peace.
The Cullens tell humans that Jasper is Rosalie's twin brother; for this purpose, they both use Rosalie's surname of "Hale".
RP sample:
Jasper stared out into the creeping morning from the large window in the Cullen house. The snow drifted lightly to the ground and he couldn’t help but smile slightly knowing that today at least would be a rather uneventful day for them especially in the current weather. It would allow them the ability to just be themselves…or well as much as themselves as they could possibly be.
He wanted to fully believe that he was doing better as the years went by and he grew more attached to his life with the Cullens as well with Alice. She had filled a void in him that had been so dark and so deep he thought it would have swallowed him up but she had saved him from that and for that he had an eternity to thank her.
But if only for today maybe just maybe they could all just…be.
