Carlisle Cullen
"I can't adequately describe the struggle; it took Carlisle two centuries of torturous effort to perfect his self-control. Now he is all but immune to the scent of human blood, and he is able to do the work he loves without agony. He finds a great deal of peace there, at the hospital…"

i sing the blues and swallow them too'
strengths •Ability to keep himself a clear mind, knows how to stay strong and calm in the hardest situations. Immune to the smell of human blood, so he can help his family, as well as the human world. His words are spoken with wisdom, fairly wise, in a fatherly way. Even with the appearance of being 23.
worst memory •---His turn---
Greatest desire • To Keep his Family safe
Greatest fear • Losing his Esme
dislikes •The thought of those harming his family is one of the only things he gets thoroughly upset by. Yelling, noise in general. Fighting is definately something he's against, but does happen only when extremely necessary.
weakness •He gives others chances, and wants things to be fair. He always wants to lend a hand, and keep others safe. That is a strength as well, but wields the possibilities of weakness.
overall personality • Carlisle's most prominent personality trait is his compassion. Stephenie Meyer has said that his "compassion-motivated self-control is really so incredible that it almost crosses the line into 'superpower.'" His loneliness in the years before he changed Edward and his love for his "children" also indicate that, like Esme, he is very family motivated.

history •
The son of an Anglican pastor, Carlisle was raised during a time of religious persecution. His father led hunts for witches, werewolves, and vampires all in the name of ridding the world of evil. As his father grew older, Carlisle was placed in charge of the raids. Carlisle wasn’t as enthusiastic about killing as his father was, but he was clever enough to discover a coven of true vampires living in the sewers of the city. He set a trap for the vampires and chased one down. Carlisle believes that the vampire was actually too hungry to run and consciously decided to attack. The vampire fell on Carlisle and left him bleeding in the streets after killing two other men and taking off with a third.
Knowing how his father would react, Carlisle crawled into a cellar and buried himself in rotting potatoes for the three days of the change. When he emerged, he was a vampire. At first he tried to destroy himself by jumping from great heights or drowning in the ocean. Somehow, he was so repelled by what he was that he resisted feeding off of humans. He even tried to kill himself with starvation.
Eventually the thirst was too powerful and he attacked a herd of passing deer. He found that living off of the blood of animals could sustain his life and was infinitely more humane than taking the life of a human. Over the course of two centuries, he developed a sort of immunity to the scent of human blood and was able to become a medical doctor.
Carlisle was studying in Italy when he met a coven of vampires called the Volturi that seemed more civilized and educated than those he was familiar with in England. Aro, Marcus, and Caius were the three vampires that inspired some of the works of Solimena. Even though they were refined, they persisted in trying to persuade Carlisle to drink from humans. Naturally, he refused.
In 1911 he was working in Columbus, Ohio, where he treated a happy and beautiful young girl by the name of Esme Platt for a broken leg. Shortly there after, he moved on to Chicago.
He spent several years in Chicago and was nearing the end of his allotted time. (Looking the way he does, he can generally stay in one area until the people believe him to be around the age of 35, and then he has to leave.) The influenza epidemic broke out in the city and Carlisle found himself treating Edward, who had just lost both of his parents and was on the verge of death himself. It was Edward’s mother who requested Dr. Cullen save Edward. She seemed to “know” that Carlisle could save him in a special way and begged him to do it. Carlisle acted out of loneliness and changed Edward.
The pair moved to northern Wisconsin where, in 1921, Carlisle again tended to Esme. This time her injuries were from a failed suicide attempt. Remembering her from before, and feeling saddened by the turn her life had taken, Carlisle changed Esme to save her. The two fell in love and were legally married. (Again, just the one time.)
Carlisle then found and changed Rosalie with the intention for her to be a companion to Edward, but it wasn’t to be. Carlisle then changed Emmett after Rosalie found him being mauled by a bear. Although he didn’t change Alice and Jasper, he accepted them as part of his family when they came to him.
Around 1936, Carlisle moved his family to Forks where they encountered the Quileute Indians who have the ability to transform into werewolves. A treaty was arranged stating that the wolves would leave the Cullens alone so long as they didn’t bite any humans and stay off of the Quileute land. The Cullens lived in Forks for a few years before moving on to other places.
The family returned to Forks, Washington after a stay in Alaska. They have lived there for two years.

a getaway car a rush of blood to the head'
secret word • This is make believe
role playing sample •
He has spent his entire day being locked up in the likes of his office, even at the hospital. There wasn't too many appointments, and only one surgery. Which wasn't fairly normal for an average day, more then likely there'd be much more. But it wasn't as if he was complaining, it would give him the possibility of getting home to his beloved wife and family much sooner.
And just the passing thought of his precious Esme brought that handsome smile to his face. He let his pen still on the paper, and his beautiful wife's name left his lips in the most loving way. He was addicted to everything she was, and all that she could ever be. Everything about her pulled him in, and kept him going. He couldn't imagine how he lived so many years without her by his side, and right now all he craved was her presence. Not even blood could surpass his desire for that gorgeous woman.
When his assitant nurse came in the door, speaking of how she would be taking off for the day, Carlisle gave her a kind smile, "Thank you, Katherine. See you tomorrow." She nodded, gave him a quick goodbye, and quickly left. With one more appointment to deal with, his shift would finally be over, and he'd be home to his family. What a wonderful life he lived, he couldn't imagine it being any other way.
