I've been writing the biography on paper over the last few days, with my inability to get consistant net access, and I'm going to try to transcribe it now.
Hopefully, it'll help explain my character.
[sblock=Character biography]
WARNING: kinda dark.
My name is James Cale.
There's nothing special about how I was born or raised. I went to school like any other kid, grew up in a normal house with normal parents, didn't even loose my virginity till my graduation. But hell, what a grad... and it was worth the wait, SHE was worth the wait.
Gorgeous, Beautiful, Sexy, Smart, Funny. -PERFECT- and all mine.
By my second year of law school, we were living together. We married a month after I finished (Princeton for anyone who gives a damn). I was hired straight ouf of college by a most prestigious firm, and immediately started my climb to the top. For two years, I was the rising star, making connectiosn, making money, even ended up making a "little me" with the love of my life.
She was 8 months pregnant when she was taken from me. I knew, the instant I saw the house; cops, ambulance, everybody standing there... Some looked bored, others sickened. I had to fight my way through to see the body (God, I still can't think of that.. butchered, brutalized, mutilated corpse as the woman I'd once loved.)
I spent he next year buried in work, 20 hours a day, I cut myself off from old friends, family, and made new contacts. Ones who would help me find him, in exchange for certain favours which I happened to be in a position to grant.
My work never slipped, yet my employers became concerned with my new obsession. Hmmf, screw them and their job, it didn't matter any more. I'd found him.
The bastard thought I was his lawyer when I first approached him about being the prime suspect in the case, so I used it to my advantage. I wrung every bit of info I could out of him, and what I learned sent me into a terrifying new world...
VAMPIRES.
WEREWOLVES.
And all those other Hollywood Blockbusters and things that go bump in the night. He was a 'ghoul', sent to leave a message. I still haven't found out what the exact meaning of it is, or why his 'master' hated me so much, but in the long years since, I've found out a lot of OTHER things.
My first step was in finding her.. Or maybe she found me. For a decade, we were together, my vampiress and me, closer even than I'd been with my wife. And yet, it wasn't love that brought us together, but something else. A shared desire for power and knowledge which we both - somehow - knew could be gained by working together.
(I still search for the vampire who ended my life and started me on the path I now follow, but I no longer know exactly what I'll do if.. when... I find him. )
I've waited so long for my lady to bestow the gift(curse?) upon me, but it'll be worth the wait.
Power, Riches, Information, Beauty, Revenge. -PERFECT- and all mine.
And this time, it'll be forever.

Two questions I forgot to email you:
1 - Why will he have no resources at start? Is it simply because you find it unbalancing, so I should delete it, or is there an actual reason? What's the difference between free and banking? Both mean I get it later, but one means I loose the merit points? huh?
2 - I was kinda hoping this vampire chick could play a fairly large role in my characters development (As she allready has, but continuing into him being a fellow vampiree)... Would taking points in Mentor or Allies be able to show that? If so, how many would you like me to allocate?
