personality his younger pre-vampire self was reckless and irresponsible, always doing the most idiotic things and wasting money left and right without a care in the world, which he didn't as a wealthy heir. when he got turned, he shied away from others and spent most of the time in isolation in a cabin his family has in a secluded area as he tried to control his thirst. once he felt that he safety had it under control he slowly started to come out of his shell again and returned to his smart-aleck, sarcastic self. when he's in love or in the process, he'll often try and court the other like give them expensive gifts and write letters to them, as he's still an old soul when it comes to romance. since his wife's death though, he's slowly back in his shell, but he will go out with the others and give a smart-aleck remark here and there when need be.
history born in the year 1897, donovan grew up in a wealthy family and was the only son and heir of the van stryker family wealth. as a young man, he was reckless with his drinking and he found himself face down in the middle of the street as he was a victim of a hit and run. luckily, or unluckily, another person was attracted by the scent of him and unsure of what to do, they did the only thing they thought could help: they bit him. the pain from the bite rose him from his unconsciousness and he wished he was dead but it continued on for an hour before the pain finally left, leaving him seemingly immortal. the worst part about it was his cravings but with a few years of practice he managed to keep it at a bare minimum. as donovan thought he was going to spend the rest of his long life alone, he found his wife, elizabeth and became infatuated with her and within a year or two they were wed. he was surprised by her acception of his condition, but they loved each other and they knew nothing could stop it, that is besides time. as time passed by, elizabeth aged and aged while he remained frozen at his age of twenty-nine. not long before moving to woodridge did elizabeth pass away due to an illness. that night he buried her and joined the coven, wanting to try and mask his emotions about his wife and distance himself from the sadness that swallowed him.
