but we all still crave connection,

CURRENT CITY: Black City, Washington
CLASS: Noble
OCCUPATION: Section Vice-Chief, Department of Census

SPECIES: Vampir
TYPE: Redblood

AGE: 26
GENDER: Female

BIRTHPLACE: Oria City, Texas
CURRENT CITY: ?
CLASS: Lower
OCCUPATION: Private Investigator

SPECIES: Normie (Magi)
APPEARANCE: <hi-res image>

PERSONALITY: Bitter, unfeeling, substance abuser, amoral, efficient.
HISTORY: Violet is a name well known but also not well known. To be famous invites caution and shuts doors, but that is also the case for a nobody. She only maintains contacts with a few names at any time, one of which appears to be permanently Garth Sar, and takes care of any odds and ends that need to be cleaned up. Whenever she arrives in a new city, it is often with a letter of introduction.
EXTRA: Likes to watch movies. Loves arthouse stuff. Favourite drink is "XinQ Sportsade!"

 

[unanun]

NAME: Hilda/Hildebrand
AGE: 23/23
GENDER: Female/Male

BIRTHPLACE: Rockcaster, Yukon/Rockcaster, Yukon
CURRENT CITY: Black City, Washington/Black City, Washington
CLASS: Middle/Middle
OCCUPATION: The Bed is Maid (contract maid agency)/Special Purposes Division

SPECIES: Normie/Magi
HOUSE: None/Lux and Tenebris
MAGIC TYPES: None/Light and Darkness
SKILL LEVEL: None/Intermediate, but Master in two spells
FAMILIAR: An owl, whose eyes can beam light and nil
APPEARANCE: <hi-res image>

PERSONALITY: Submissive/Dominant; Demure/Commanding; Playful/Focused; Clumsy/Sharp; Dependent/Independent
HISTORY: Hildebrand was born in Rockcaster, Yukon, son of a rare union between a light and dark magi. Whether it was coordinated or coincidence, he inherited the right to both forms, and a visit from Vampir of the Blacke family at five. He was schooled in two things and two things only: the projection of light and nil. His conduit is a rod of metal shaped like a flashlight, from which he projects beams wide and total enough to blanket an entire battlefield. He has not been deployed yet, but society eagerly awaits his debut.
HISTORY 2: Hilda was born in Rockcaster, Yukon. As a normie in a Magi-dominated city, her lack was made apparent everyday, and the niches that she could fill vanishing. She settled into providing convenience, and by the time she saved enough to leave for the city of opportunity, found that she was too deep in her pigeonhole to consider other options.
EXTRA: Like the sun and moon, they never appear at the same time.

NAME: Gaius Longinus

GENDER: Male

CURRENT CITY: Hollowstead, Washington
CLASS: Noble
OCCUPATION: Aristocrat

SPECIES: Vampir
TYPE: Redblood
POWER: Biokinesis, total control over his own body.
LIMITATIONS: He only can affect his own body.
APPEARANCE: <hi-res image>

PERSONALITY: Superiority complex, messiah complex, god complex, sociopath, loves his fellow Vampirs (even the Silverbloods) but looks down on every other species.
HISTORY: Gaius takes great delight in watching the reactions of his kin when they learn the connection of his surname to the centurian who speared Jesus. "I was the one that killed god," Gaius will always say. It is unknown if that is his real name; he has lived for so long that many who might have been able to vouch for his stories are dead in mind or body. He is legendary for his youth, a quality he insists is linked to diet and the supreme lineage of his blood.
EXTRA: "I find Magi of Viridis the most delectable. Through their blood I drink of the earth's vitality."
EXTRA 2: Born under the Blood Moon, "the only way Vampirs should be sired."

The Department of Census ensures that no hybrids are created in violation of law, and Garth is an expert at ferreting them out.
EXTRA: Is a bit of a sunbird (likes to watch the dawn).
