What's the missing character in this sentence?

I was translating a book (still on the back blurb :P) but came across a character I didn't know but I can't look it up since I don't know it's pinyin (or even radicals - they're still pretty confusing for me :S). I even tried a hand-writing recognisation dictionary but even that couldn't find it >.< Could someone help me figure out what it is? :) The sentence is below, with the mysterious character replaced with a '*':
第二, 出*天性, 他渴望喝我的血
Anyone got any ideas as to what it might be? Here's a drawing I did of it. Please excuse my terrible drawing skills :P

January 21, 2010, 09:17 PMI presume it's not something as simple as 出现?
Are you able to scan it,zoom in and load it up to flickr and then post it for us ,or doodle it and load to flickr and post?
