Eric is a strategist, always looking for those who would interfere or cement his own agenda. He forgets nothing, has seen all life, and has chosen to stay true to his own rules. Since Eric has observed human nature over the centuries, he knows humans very well and has learned how to survive by playing off the weaknesses of others. Hence his skills in reading other and in manipulation.
Eric is a straight-forward, calculating yet loyal individual, and generally willing to absolve humans that aggravate him- unless they have grievously crossed him. He has a great capacity not only for loyalty, but affection (considering vampire nature) - he demonstrated this with his progeny Pam. Usually a very calm, methodical individual, Eric is more in control of his emotions than Bill, and rarely loses his temper. When pushed, however, he has shown a great capacity for violence. He is unconcerned about being viewed as "the bad guy" and sees it as a means to an end. Hence the brash nature and bold directness he governs himself with, and how he doesn’t like to waste time.. He is often secretive and can be somewhat of a trickster, a deviant of sorts, but is honest and direct. He is confident enough, that he doesn't think he needs to prove himself. Eric has a joy of living and a sense of humor uncommon for vampires. Eric knows what he wants and he knows how to get it, basically. He’s a very grounded and very confident, and he knows what he wants, all the time. However, in those rare instances when he doesn’t, you can bet he’s going to do anything and everything in his power to set things back straight, his way.
Eric also has a softer side, one that loves deeply when committed, as shown by his centuries old friendship with his maker, Godric. Eric also has a sense of humor. Loyalty is something Eric values. Those who pledge their allegiance to him are held bound to his moral code. Loves a good fight and enjoys the spoils. He has a love for life and did not want it to end from a battle wound. His love for and vanity over his hair is another endearing quality. He’s not all bad, but it just takes some work to see through deeper into him.

OVERALL HISTORY:
Born in Northern Scandinavia, Sweden during the Viking Age, where later he became a vampire in 930.
Eric was a Viking, and used to play near the North Sea as a child. His father was a Viking chieftain- a Jarl back in the day- and although his father and mother wished Eric would chose a wife; he was more interested in enjoying the pleasures of unmarried life. One night while Eric was having sex with a servant, werewolves attacked their home killing his mother and baby sister. A werewolf managed to overpower his father, taking his crown. It was given to a cloaked figure that walked off into the snowy night leaving Eric to tend to his dying father. Before Eric's father dies, he declared him king/Jarl and makes him promise to avenge his family.
Transition;;
Eric is wounded somewhere in Scandinavia and against his wishes his Viking companions decide to stay with him. They tell Eric tales of the glory and women waiting for him in Valhalla, The Warrior’s Paradise in Nordic beliefs. During the night, an unseen force murders his comrades. A mysterious young, tattooed man appears and introduces himself as "Death" to the dying Eric. Having seen Eric's strength on the battlefield, this boy, the 1000 years old vampire, Godric, offers him immortality through life as a vampire. When Eric asks what he gets out of it, Godric says "Life". With his own lust for life that he is renowned for, and the Viking Warrior becomes a vampire progeny.
During World War II, Godric and Eric posed as Nazi Schutzstaffel agents in order to infiltrate "Operation werewolf". In 1945 they tracked a werewolf down to a house in Augsburg, Germany. The werewolf attacked and killed an American soldier before turning on Eric, but Godric stabbed her in the arm with a bayonet, pinning her to the wall. Eric demanded to know who her master was, but the werewolf said she would only tell them if Eric let her drink some of his blood. Godric was deeply offended by the idea, as vampire blood is sacred. Eric, however, did not care. He bit himself, and allowed the werewolf to feed from his wrist. She then revealed that her master is a vampire. Eric was shocked, and the werewolf took advantage of his distraction pushing Eric to the ground and attempted to stake him. Godric intervened, and snapped the werewolf's neck. Godric lectured his progeny about maintaining control of his emotions, before promising to hunt the blasphemous vampire down. Shortly after this confrontation, Eric and Godric parted ways, and would not meet again for many decades.
Eric has acquired the position of Sheriff of Area 5 because of his age, his cunning personality and his ruthlessness. Eric has one vampire progeny named Pam who, like him, is incredibly loyal. Together they currently operate and own Fangtasia, a vamp nightclub in Shreveport, Louisiana.

RP SAMPLE:Scene from True Blood season 1 ep.4 Eric's POV
Another day had turned into night and Eric was once again in his goth apparel ready for the task at hand. Fangtasia was open to the masses and it was his night to make an appearance something he did a few days out the week to appease the humans. They seemed to be enthralled with him from sight and he loved the admiration although he would never admit. He walked from his office to the front feeling the vibration of the music as he got closer to the door which read staff only. He opened the door and there as his audience, a swarm of humans ready to have their vampire fantasy fulfilled. They all had some childish idea that vampires were all romance and mystery but a few minutes in his bar would bring them a dose of reality no book can describe. He knew vampire nature better than most and for him they were nothing more than food and maybe an occasional entertainment feature when he found one that was agreeable. It had been ages since that happened usually they were good for a fresh feed and that was all but he did miss the thrill of a real hunt.
These thought and more passed through his mind as he sat on this throne watching everything and everyone who came or went. That was his duty as the Sheriff and owner of the bar, this was his domain and once you entered no other laws were acknowledged. At least not by him Eric had always felt he was above the law and made his own one of the only reason he wasn’t a King by now. Pam was at the door and Long Shadow was t the bar serving drinks as usual but he could tell this was not a usual night. He scanned the crowd again but soon found his gaze going back to the door when Bill Compton walked in with a pretty blond on his arm, who was this girl? He watched the two of them walk through the floor to the bar and order a drink not missing one beat as they spoke. She had his attention and he found myself even more curious when he said friend, was she not his meal for the night? His thoughts were interrupted when he felt someone coming his way and he looked down to see a balding human at his feet.
The man was pathetic in every sense of the word and it didn’t help that Eric was partial to women. The man made his mistake in touching his leg and Eric responded by kicking him across the room while a smile played on his lips. He’d forgotten his own strength and even though the force wasn’t that strong the blood that flowed from his head was a sure sign that maybe he hadn’t used enough restraint. It made no difference to him and he saw soon enough that there was already a woman by his side eager to clean him up, in her own way. He smiled knowing what she wanted from him and hoped she wouldn’t e stupid enough to disobey the laws of his club. His rules were clear and simple, no serving minors, no sex, and definitely no feeding on the grounds of Fantasia. Eric’s eyes went to Pam’s a smile was on her face as well but a serious look came when their eyes locked. She was at his side in an instant and he again cold focus on the pretty girl accompanying his old friend. “Who is she?” he asked her looking to his right. “Sookie Stackhouse,” said Pam in a calm voice, her accent apparent when she says her name. “Their business here?” Eric asked scanning her for the second time and looking to Bill who he knew would head his call. “Accompanying Bill he mainstreaming, but I’ve seen her asking questions.”
“I have as well.” He said looking at Bill once more and raising my hand to summon the both. They both watched as they came their way and stood before him; she looked even better this close. The air around them had changed during to her presence and he could almost taste her in his mouth from smelling her delectable scent. “Bill Compton it has been a while.” I said looking at the two of them as he uttered a response. “Yes I’ve been.”
“Mainstreaming.” He said cutting him off happy to see the look of surprise on their faces. Eric loved making others think he cold hear and see their every move. He could but it was nice to have Pam around to find out things he hadn’t the time or enthusiasm to investigate although he might have for her. “I heard,” his yes went to the girl and he said her name again in his mind what a peculiar name Stackhouse. “I see that is going well for you.” My eyes still on her and he politely introduced her but of course I already knew that and made her aware by saying her last name. Surprise was again evident on her face, “How did you know my name?” Pam interjected before I could answer, “I never forget a pretty face, you’re in my vault.” She said tapping her head and the girl seemed to be flustered. He could tell this was her first time in a vampire bar and he wasn’t so sure she would be able to leave.
“It’s nice to meet you.” She said in her southern accent something he had to get used to since moving into the area. “Well aren’t you sweet.” He said and she replied, “Not really,” Gaining her a squeeze from Bill and a laugh from Eric. She was amusing and uncongenial something he liked in his humans whenever he decided he liked one. He looked back to Pam and spoke to her in Swiss knowing they wouldn’t understand, “I like this one we shall have to find out more about her.” He said looked back to them “I agree.” Said Pam as she smiled at looked at them too. “I understand you have been asking some questions about my customers.” His tone now all business, this was the other reason they had been called, “Yes I have.” Her voice was sweet he could tell she was so innocent to the world around her. “If you have anything to ask you should ask it of me.”
She seemed nervous for a second then pulled out two pictures of women I had seen her before, one more than once. “Recognize either of these women?” He looked them over and remembered them each from his own interactions. “This one offered herself to me but I found her to pathetic for my attention.” He said pointing to the one with red hair. He remembered her groveling at his feet wanting him to taste her, but she was nothing just a stupid girl with no purpose in life. “Now this one however I have tasted.” He said thinking of his face between her thighs and the flow of her blood in my mouth. Yes she was sweet but still nothing more than a quick meal to satisfy my craving for fresh blood. “I remember them both.” Said Pam before she was interrupted, “On account of the volt?” she asked and I liked the spunk I saw in her, she wasn’t too afraid around his kind and that intensified his curiosity about her. “never had either of them though, they weren’t really my type.” She said and Eric had to hold back a smile from seeing the look on her face, she looked puzzled and shocked. It was a funny mixture on her face but of course he retained his composure and his everlasting cool. “Well thank you very much that is all you’re time I need to take.
“I’m not finished with you yet.” I said stopping them from moving , “Pleas sit.” I said watching as she sat to my right. “So Bill are you quite attached to your friend?” He asked looking her over once more and wondering how she looked underneath the red and white dress she adorned. That too made her stand out in the sea of back around him but Eric could sense there was something else special about this girl. “She is mine.” Bill had a little too much base I his voice for Eric’s taste but he would let it go this one time. “Yes I am his.” Chimed in Sookie who looked happy that she had claimed her this was. What is there relation he wondered as he looked at her. “Well what a piety for me. Sit with us we have catching up to do you and I it has been too long.” He took a seat and I was thinking of what to do with them Next. Bill hadn’t been in town long and now Eric was more inclined to want to know how long he would be staying to he would know when to make his move Miss Stackhouse. “We have to get out of here.” She said bringing him back to reality and innerving him a little with her persistence to get away. Bill chided her as if she were a child but that did not silence her words, “Eric the cops are coming there’s about to be a raid.” her vice was urgent, “Tell me you’re not an undercover cop.” He said looking at her with new eyes, eyes meant for an enemy. “I’m not but that guy in the hat is.” Her eyes landed on the guy and his eyes followed narrowing when he had him in his sights.
Sometimes he found himself hating humans, but couldn’t all the way not when some of them could be useful like the one next to him. “Even in you’re right we do nothing illegal here.” He said reaming calm because he just knew no one would dare break the laws. “There’s a vampire named Taren in the ladies room with that man you kicked before she’s feeding on him. “ she said and her tone was not a joking one, “How do you know this?” asked Pam but before she could answer he cops were busting in the door and the four of us were on our way out. “Follow me.” He said leading them out the back way, it was the least he can do right? Eric and Pam hoped in the back of her red Corvette, “I was nice meeting you Ms. Stackhouse you will come again.” He said flashing her a smirk as the car pulled off and she left his sight but not his mind..
