Biography
PERSONALITY:
Alibaba can be very cunning and sometimes petty, but he's a hard worker and has tried his best to be honest since childhood. He's much more intelligent and educated than he ever lets on. He has zero patience for bullies or the 'useless' rich who ignore the plight of needy people around them. He is dedicated and can be very stubborn - in both good and bad extremes. He can be extremely naive or oblivious at times. He is extremely loyal to those important to him and will do literally anything for them. He has a noble and generous heart and will rarely back away from a challenge. He's brash and headstrong and goodnatured, often taking on trouble head on and with an easygoing smile, prepared to rise to whatever the challenge may be, but can also often lose his temper when teased or mocked.
IN-GAME HISTORY:
Alibaba's father was a noble vampire who caught sight of a human maid serving in a home he was visiting. becoming instantly enamored with her, he decided he had to have her and for a while lavished her with fondness and affection, even to the point of possibly falling in love. However, the noble's wife learned of this shortly after the maid found herself pregnant with the aristocrat's child and all hell broke loose. Fearing for her safety and the life of her unborn child, the human maid fled vampire society and hid herself among the nameless poorer districts of a human city, scraping by with what meager funds she could on her own.

When Alibaba was born, he spent his early life hidden on those same rough streets with her and she hid his vampire status from almost everyone, bartering for blood tablets on the black market with her meager wages. At some point, the pair of them were joined by another pair of young street orphans who had been abandoned and Alibaba's mother took the young human boy and girl - Cassim and Mariam - in as her own. Cassim and Alibaba, while opposites in many ways, were inseparable and took on everything together, whether it was bickering between themselves, challenging one another, or sometimes trying to pick pockets or earn money of their own to help out their small family.

Eventually, however, the harsh conditions took their toll and Alibaba's mother was struck down by an epidemic sweeping through the slums, leaving the three small children to fend for themselves. Which might have worked, had Alibaba not still needed the blood pills to survive - he was not near as skilled or as subtle at attaining them as his mother had been and eventually word passed to his father of a young waif needing blood tablets in the human slums who had a shocking resemblance to the noble. he swept in and took Alibaba from the streets immediately, even though Alibaba did not want to go and leave what was left of "his" family, the only one he'd never known.

His new life was not entirely pleasant for him. While his father had great affection for him and lavished him with the best education and everything he could want or need, his half-brothers looked down on him as a bastard and trash and many servants in the household took this same attitude towards him - although never in his father's sight or hearing. Alibaba had to work twice as hard at everything to prove that he wasn't some dirty human mongrel, even while he resented their opinions on the people he had grown up with and their constant judging of him. But he did excel at what he put his mind to, putting his siblings to shame and becoming his father's pride - something that did not actually endear him to many of the people who already despised him.

Still, when he was old enough to win some of his own freedom, the first thing he did was to sneak out and try to locate Cassim and Mariam again, even though several years had passed. He was still worried for and missed his human family and wanted to look after them if he could. He does eventually find them and he's ecstatic to be reunited with them once more, but his presence among the slumming humans draws the wrong kind of attention to them and after one of his visits, he returns shortly after to find out that Cassim has been bitten - and is turning.

Although initially panicking, he does his best to help Cassim adjust to this, doing everything he can to make sure he's provided for and safe, but he knows that Cassim cannot stay hiding in the slums as he is for long. So, after his father had been pondering some options for further education for Alibaba himself, he makes a deal of his own - taking the newly turned vampire and his human sister along with him to the vampire academy his father has been talking about. Mariam can be enrolled in the Day Class while Cassim and Alibaba attend the Night, getting them both away from the city and to a setting where all of them can learn and flourish. His father agrees, and several weeks later, here they are. Now Alibaba hopes he can just help Cassim adapt and doesn't have to worry about what might happen to his best friend now that he's been turned...


Extra Info
Alibaba will be rooming with Cassim and keeping a close eye on Mariam, who is enrolled in the Day Class. Otherwise, he's excited to be here in a new environment away from his childhood home, where he never really fit in despite his best efforts. He's half expecting all the nobles here to be elite snobs as well who look down their noses at him, but will be pleasantly surprised if he ends up proven wrong.
