Playby: Jake Gyllenhaal
Name: Dustan Sands
Age: 1470/30
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Species: Human (Special)
Physical Description: Dustan has always lived a hard life so his body reflects that. He has long lean muscles and strong well formed physique. His hair is long, to his shoulders, and very dark brown, almost black. His eyes are clear blue like the waters of a Persian sea. He keeps a natural stubble look on his face as he rarely takes the time to shave.
Attitude: Dustan is quiet and secretive. He insisted on having his dwelling on an exact location at Haven and he does not want anyone in his home. He is a very private man and does not talk about himself. He will change the subject or leave if pressed about his past. He fights to preserve Haven with a ferocity that can be frightening.
Abilities: Dustan is human by all intents and purposes but he has in his possession a dagger that is filled with grains of sand. He can turn back time by as much as an hour if he needs to but he never does because it can cause a rip in the fabric of time. He was given the gift of a medallion that keeps him from aging so that he can protect the sands of time.
History: Dustan was an orphan who ran the streets of Persia 1470 years ago. He was quick and a good thief. One day he was found by the King of Persia who was intrigued by the boy. The king took him in and raised him as his own. Dustan had many adventures in his life, including the one that lead him to the dagger and the love of his life. His love sacrificed her life to save the world and entrusted Dustan with the sands of time and the dagger vessel. It was then that one of the guardians of time gave him the medallion on her deathbed that keeps him from aging. Dustan traveled for a long time before he finally found a good hiding place for his guarded treasure. He was in Nevada before anyone else other than the Native Americans and that is where he hid the sands.
It was unfortunate when the white man came to the desert and build Las Vegas. It became difficult for Dustan to guard the sands. He decided it would be better to leave the sands where they were and purchase it so that he could keep people away. He begrudgingly used the dagger in the casinos to win an outrageous amount of money and bought the land.
After the Apocalypse, Dustan had no choice but to help the first people that came to him for help. Over time, the only people that know about his not aging is the leader of Haven. That is all they know. The agreement is that they can have his land if he can stay on to defend it. He has a signed contract from the first leader of the rag tag group of human survivors that is signed in blood.
Dustan stays with Haven and guards his sands with his life. He has recently been put in charge of a raid that will cause him to leave Haven for a short time. The risk is worth it since the children and elderly are dying of a terrible illness. Supplies must be acquired at any cost.

Rp Sample: Dustan sat his nervous mount with calm determination. The animals around him that were mounted by other Haven soldiers all seemed nervous, prancing and snorting. One young soldier had already been thrown from his horse. Thankfully, he was alright. Everyone was armed with guns or swords, whichever they preferred to use in battle.
And a battle there would be. The children and elderly lay dying in their beds, burning up with fever, hands tied to keep them from scratching the rashes that spread rapidly over their bodies. They had long since gone through the ice but thankfully a water elemental was able to cool the moisture in the air of the building the sick were being cared for in.
Dustan knew the gravity of the situation. He looked at the front of the battalion that was saddled up and ready to go and saw their fearless leader with his top generals at his sides. The man could not even see and he was leading this expedition. Perhaps if the Admiral could speak to Thor, a fight would not take place. With humans being so fragile, Dustan knew that a fight would not bode well for the little army of survivors. But then again, if they raided in the daytime, the Vampires would not be able to join in the fray and the group of soldiers would return victorious.
Dustan watched as wives kissed husbands and husbands kissed wives, young lovers bid tearful and brave goodbyes with promises to return. Dustan looked down at the red sash around his waist and rubbed it gently between his thumb and forefinger. Thoughts of his lost love entered his mind and he sighed. No time for that...He looked forward again, ready to go on his Admirals command.
