~The Wars of Demons OOC~

**Erranruin** · 03-03-2013

This is a constantly accepting thread.

Preface
It is November of the year 1805. Napolean has defeated all other resistances that stood against him and Britain has been left as the only nation standing. An era of unstable and worrisome peace between Britain and France has been entered but itwill not last long. A third Coalition between Britain, Russia, Austria and sweden has been formed and a bloody, savage war has once again begun that stretches all of Europe as well as the sea. Only a month prior to the day, Nelson won his grand victory against the French-Spanish fleet at Trafalgar and news of it has just reached Britain.

However it is not the only conflict causing bloodshed and grief. Things in the shadows are beginning to stir. Rivalrys and hatreds that have lain dormant for millenia are beginning to bubble to the surface and demons start to sense the coming of their own war. However even this is insignificant to what these events will reveal to be the truth. A truth that could shake the world and bring both human and demon life crashing down.

So we begin the Roleplay in an era of strife and conflict. The king is going insane and England has alot of worries to do with war and the like. Vampires and Werewolves are actually profitting from the conflicts since war breeds desperation and desperation leads to more humans wishing to sell their soul for a task to be accomplished.

All of the information about the three species of Demon is in the Tabs below. There is alot of information and, though I'd love for you to read every single syllable of it, I can understand that you all have lives so there are little summaries at the top of each tab. You will need to read all of the lore for your chosen character type since my version of a werewolf almost certainly differs from yours. If you wish to be human then I would recommend you read all of the 'Bound' sections in the Demon tabs so that you have all of the information.

Now the roleplay is quite firmly based on the Contractor/Contracted relationship. Its about character development and progression to power. I would really like it if one person plays each role (contractor and contracted) rather than one person playing both roles. Its just more interesting that way. Now for the Human contractors, I know that playing a character that will definitely die at some point or another is kinda depressing but once your character dies you will have total freedom to make a new character. I'm probably going to let you go completely wild with it actually, just PM me any of the really original ideas to make sure they fit in with the Universe.

There is a 'Wanted' List at the bottom of this first post, along with an 'Accepted characters' list. On the wanted list I'll post Characters who need a contractor or a Contracted so that we can partner people up and you can discuss your histories with each other ect.

One character each is the policy for now, but it is subject to change depending upon how many people join up.

AND NOW FOR THE TOTALITARIAN REGIME RULES

1. This is NOT a democracy! My.Word.Is.Law.
You Character may be amazing, original and uber imaginative but if I say it won’t work then I said it for a reason and I expect you to listen!

2. No god-modding! (As if you thought this rp would be different than any other rp you have ever joined)

3. No cybering! I wont stop you with before and after comments that trail off suggestively, however you MUST trail off! There will be NO kiddies heads exploding on my rp. The clean-up job the last time that happened was horrendous...

4. No sentence long posts! I want two paragraphs most of the time, although I’m not completely unreasonable when it comes to battles and dialogue.

5. No Drifting Characters! If you have remained inactive for one week without telling me why then your character will be brutally murdered in a fashion of my choosing.

6. No breaking the rules! There may be other rules that I have forgotten so when I enforce a rule that you don’t think is a rule see Rule number one!

7. Ghost97 is the official book of Lore, he is carried under my arm at all times and is a second font of knowledge for the lore of Demons, Hunters and all other manner of beings in this Universe with a particular knowledge of Warlocks and their workings. But be careful! He DOES bite.

Here is all the stuff you need to know:

Soulless Demons are people whom have been killed by a Whole Demon but then forced to remain on earth, their soul energy simply torn from their body but their memories and personality and 'self' remaining.

A contract is formed on the basis of a task, a task that a Human wants completed dearly enough to make it worth the sacrifice of their own soul. The creation of a contract pauses time for the contracted human, not letting them age or die until their contract is completed. This makes it impossible for the demon to gain a soul without completing their task. Most often the contract lasts a few years, however some have been known to last for hundreds of years, ending with the changing of the world. Once a contract is fulfilled the human dies and the Demon takes the Soul. A Demon can decide whether or not it wishes to keep the memories of its Contractor although most choose to wipe the soul clean and never remember their contractor, too painful is the memory.

If a human wishes to enter into a Contract then they have a choice of three Demon species. Vampire, Werewolf or Angel. Depending upon the demon in question there are various ways of entering into a contract including rituals and messages.

Vampires are by far the easiest to get a hold of. Just a taste of your own blood accompanied by the intention of making a contract will call a Vampire to your side but it rarely, if ever, comes to this. Vampire society is highly advanced with networks of contacts, both vampire and human, seeded throughout the world. Just mentioning your intent to make a contract in a conversation with your neighbour can have a vampire at your door within the week.

Werewolves on the other hand, have a very disparate culture and a ritual is usually necessary, unless you chance to meet one on your travels. To call one you must wander into the wilderness at a full moon and howl. This will draw a werewolf in full form to you, but rather than ripping you to shreds werewolves can smell the intention to make a contract and are tamed by the scent, thereby allowing a contract to be formed.

An Angel contract is not only rare but difficult to acquire. Praying for a Contract or something along those lines will draw one to you but they will not even reveal their presence unless your will is strong. Even then they will argue with you and try to persuade you against your choice, trying to find ways to accomplish your task without the sacrifice of your soul. Only if you are completely at peace with the loss of your soul will the Angel accept the Contract.

Although it is the rarest of occurrences, it has happened that a demon has fallen in love with a human and had a child. The life for this child is difficult from the start. At birth they are fragile and weak and few survive the first few weeks. Even those that do survive don't live long past their teens or early adulthood. The reason for this is the weak soul that inhabits their body.

Its worst if the parent was a soulless demon. In that situation the child will definitely not survive, but even for Whole Demons their soul is inadequate. A Whole demon's soul isn’t their own, it doesn’t have the same tie to the world and so cant pass on a strong soul to a child. This causes a weak body that has no will to hold onto life and also colours the child’s pupils grey instead of black.

Even so this does give a Half Demon certain abilities and those Half-bloods who discover, train and use these abilities are named Warlocks. Because their soul has such a loose tie to the world they are free to roam into the realms of the dead. Warlocks have certain powers of foresight and they can call back the dead into a living body by sacrificing the original host. The host must be completely willing for this since it is similar to a demon contract in that the soul must be freely given. The soul of the original host is taken by the Warlock and they feed upon it, which strengthens them for a period of time. However this is not an everlasting effect, the energy of the soul is eventually depleted, the length of time it takes for this depends upon the ability and strength of the Warlock. This skill of resurrection is risky since the Warlock’s soul must leave their body and travel through the realm of the dead to find the target of resurrection. Each time they do this they get better at finding the target, but it also becomes harder to leave. Many Warlocks are lost this way.

Someone who is resurrected has no adverse effects, they are simply alive in a body that is not their own. They can live a relatively normal life if they wish, but that is rarely the case. Sometimes they might have memories of their time dead, but these are never more than blank swirling grey or unbearable bright light.

Warlocks can also commune with the souls of a Whole demon or any soul still bound to the living world that should not be there. They use this to gather information and often to help Whole demons in their dealings, or help Hunters against them. Warlocks may be physically weak but their abilities make them incredibly useful so often they gain the protection of others in exchange for their gifts.

Of course although Half bloods may be weak, there is a way of allowing a child to survive. By turning it into any of the species of Demon they effectively die and are reborn in that species, allowing them to live on. When this happens, because they have supernatural blood in them, they become stronger than most Soulless Demons and often swiftly gain a soul through their strength.

There is only space for two Warlock Characters in this rp and they will have to be good, well developed Characters as well as fit in with the plot.

Name: Thomas (III) Stark
Gender: Male
Age: 43
Species: Human
State: Hunter
Appearance:

Personality: To be revealed
History: Thomas is part of the old Stark house, a family that originated from Wales in the medieval ages.

From the very begining, the family was destroyer of the evil creatures. At a young age, every man born with the name Stark was to become a demon hunter, trained by the father or grandfather of the family with a blade and the herbs that were necesarry. For a price, they could also be hired to exterminate covens and specific targets, earning their gold as cleansers of the world. Some of the younger in the family were also known to be "witch boys", which we today know would be more fit as "warlock boys". For a few coins, they would point out warlocks of villages, if there was any. These warlocks would then be taken away for the witch trials. The elder of the Stark family would mostly have no qualms of this, as they saw warlocks only a slight better than demons, as they carried their blood.
The females, if the head of the house allowed it, would be apocatherians, producing the herbs, salves and toxins that were increadibly helpful for the demon hunters. They were often given the honor of the village apocatherian, as well.
The family quickly grew a quite generous wealth from the payment of exorsisms, demon slaying, witch hunting and herbal remedies, allowing them to grow into a large and well-known name, respected by the normal humans, and the fear of demons and contracted. After three generations, the Stark Mansion began construction, which was finished a generation later. The building was an impressive one, of black-painted wood, looming as a reminder to anyone looking at it that the house of Stark was a force to be reckoned with.
As time went on, it was realised that a weapon bathed in the blood of demons empowered it's wielder, lifting them closer to the abilities of their prey. As such, a blade was forged and bathed in what the Stark's had considered their greatest threats: the mind-boggingly quick vampires. Werewolves were brought down with well-aimed, crippling shots and decapitacion, not to mention easily distracted, and angels were a rare prey. Vampirs, on the other hand, were increadibly hard to even reach with the blade, and night impossible to shoot. This sword, known as Cráwa (old english for Raven) after the sole, black raven, with red-tipped thornbushes behind it that was the family crest, was at first a mighty claymore, passed down to the oldest son of every generation. However, with generations comes new minds and preferences, and with preferences comes remaking. Cráwa would be reforged many a time throughout it's hundreds of years of existence, keeping it from ever growing worn of age. While the steel that formed it was not much younger than the Stark mansion itself, the blade was never beyond three generations of age.
As was demanded by a tradition formed the first time a hunter wished to reforge the blade, a whole vampire would have to be tracked down and captured, and then kept within the mansion's dungeon, which had been specifically added for the purpose. Once the blade was reforged, the first blood it would ever taste would be that of the whole vampire, who would bathe the weapon red.

With centuries passing, "superstition" of demons, witches and other monsters turned into nothing but tall tales and bedtime stories. The Stark family's occupation became less and less respected, until their services were never called upon, but from the few that knew of demon existance. To keep themselves fed, the Stark family thus also taught the medical side of herbal science to the sons, who would be earn their gold as doctors, and cleanse the world as hunters.
As this development took place alongside the rise of the black death, the Stark's often became plague doctor's, dominating the occupation within most of Wales. It fit them well, as the masks they bore shared the beaks of their crest.

While plague doctors also became obsolete, the clothes stayed. Many hunters in the house started keeping a modified version of it as their hunting attire, due to the well-fitted pockets it had, and the mask and hood that would obscure them from those that did not see demon hunters, but murderers of innocent and sick.

In the current era, the Stark family is more known for their herbal remedies, than their demon slaying. In fact, they are hardly ever seen slaying demons anymore, albeit only because it is what the house wishes. They are as active as ever with their slaying of the demons, and all who affiliate with them. The mask they wear has become associated with the saving of lives, and the terror of death. As the Stark family always has been.

Thomas, the third carrying this name, was born 1762, in London. He is the son of Thomas the second, the oldest hunter to ever have lived in the long family line. His mother was a young maid, who was married into the family after Thomas II found her in a London pub. After a night of passion, she was given a child. To keep his family name clean, the head married the maid, not that either of them minded the unison.

The young boy was raised mostly in London, not knowing much more of the mansion, which would one day become his, than it's mere existance. His birthplace became the place where he learnt to wield a blade, the particular style of swordsmanship fitted to Cráwa's current form; a blade the size of a cutlass, kept within a staff of polished, black iron wood. Topping the staff is the head of a raven in pure silver. The blade was made with the purpose of subtly that the house has been forced to embrace in later years, and is still as lethal as the day it's first form was made. Thomas had issues, at first, with the blade, finding the handle and lack of guard unwieldy and dangerous. Much to his father's chagrin, he instead excelled in the medical part of the Stark's legacy. He could use a mortel and needle better than a sword. On the other hand, his crafting of toxins was also amazing. The perfection of his concotions was stunning. At the age of 16, he had already invented a method to perfectly treat wolfbane, using ice and stone to keep the temperature just right during the whole proccess. His invention was given to every member of the Stark house, and passed down to the next generations, centuries later. It was even adopted by certain other families of demon hunters.
Still, a boy that could mix the best toxins, but not wield a blade to use them was about as useful as a horse with three legs. In a last, desperate attempt, Thomas' father decided to let him try Cráwa - and he was breath-taken by the results. The speed the blade bestowed allowed Thomas to fence with the skill and ease of a prodigy. It was as if his body had been formed just to move with Cráwa in his hand. Even the handle seemed to mold with his hand. At the age of 28, he did something completely unheard of within the Stark lineage; he defeated his father, before the mansion had even been passed onto him. As such, he was also given the master attire of a plague doctor, two years early. On the day it was given to him, he was so prideful and joyed that the smile which donned his face could not even be hidden by the beaked mask.

Now 43 years old, his father has passed away, and Thomas the third is the sole owner of the mighty mansion, awaiting him in Wales, still calling to him to enter for the first time of his life. The mansion is currently kept in a fine state by the younger brothers of Thomas II, and their wives and children. At times, the eldest of the Starks will send them letters, giving them a briefing of England's demon situation, or ask for the situation of Wales. In rare cases, he may request supplies, as well.
During his time, he carved himself quite the reputation in northern Europe, spanning not only the British isles, but the neighboring countries as well. He is respected and feared as the Estranged Stark, the lethal hunter who's never visited his own family house. Not to mention his medical skills and herbal poisons has earned him business with civilians and hunters alike.
As of now, Thomas only have two goals. First, to cure the second plague of the world, the demons. Second, to reforge Cráwa. The sword is soon much too old, the steel needs to be tempered and remade. Thomas wants it to be forged for him, forged to better fit the issue he always had with it. He intends to have it made a cutlass, with an actual guard. However, he knows he first will need to find a whole demon to bathe the reforged Cráwa in. What he also knows is who's blood will first run down the blade. The reforged sword will be painted red by Carmen Martirio.

Character Theme - Heaven

"An endless cycle of violence and death. Addicting, is it not?"

Name
Alisa Vetrov
Alias
While the majority of demons know of the Vetrov family, Alisa is often referred to as "The Night Stalker"
Gender
Female
Age
Thirty
Species
Human, Hunter

Personality
Alisa is a very elegant woman. Every gesture she makes is fluid and graceful. This has caused her to emanate an aura of pure beauty even from when she was younger, making sure she was constantly surrounded in friends and men who wished to enter into courtship with her. She's a lady of status, both while hunting and while living her normal life. To say that Alisa is kind would be incorrect, but she's not a spiteful person as well. While she was more aggressive in her youth, her persona has become more subdued; some even say that she looks almost sad. Her life has been anything but easy, being a Hunter, and it is her goal to free herself from the world of hunting which she finds herself so addicted to.

History

Is is often uncommon to find cases where Demons were cautious, sometimes fearful, of humans. The Vetrov family is a renowned family of experienced Hunters that stretches back generations. They are mostly known as a wealthy family of rich, London Elites to humans. However, to the Demons they are a force to be reckoned with. They are known for their quick, silent methods as well as always being able to make their mark. In earlier years. the Vetrov family would often send large groups of hunters to slaughter smaller covens of vampires, packs of werewolves and other Demons alike. However, as their family climbed the social ladder they had to start being more careful with their hunting practices. Now the Vetrov family acts as almost a mercenary group; only offering their services to those who know of their existence and for the right price. The family all used to live together in a large manner, but in recent times they have told their hunters to sever their ties to the family and work from the shadows.

To Alisa, this deal worked out perfectly. Blessed as a hunting prodigy from an early age, Alisa was slaughtering demons from as early as her teenage years. More so than any other hunter in her family, Alisa killed demons with murderous zeal in her eyes and one would even think that she enjoyed hunting; thinking of it more as a sport than a profession. Being able to live by herself and hunt alone meant she could do as she pleased without having to look at her families concerned stares as she happily tore through the undead. Alisa continued to keep her families wealth and status, even despite what their agreement was. As such she was often invited into high social gatherings. It was at one such gathering she was able to meet Luca; a rich elite from another family. Her and Luca grew incredibly close, even to the point where they were planning to be married to each other. As fate would have it, Alisa received her next bounty a month before her wedding; with Luca as her target. The cunning vampire had wormed his way into human society in order to create a form of security around him from the hunters. It appears as though his cover had been blown and someone came to Alisa requesting that he be dispatched. Upon finding out that Luca was a vampire, Alisa erased all feelings for him and killed him as quickly as any other Demon she had faced. But something was different. On the day she was supposed to be marrying Luca, she suddenly felt a pang of regret inside of her. Finding herself crying for days on end, she was suddenly hit with a revelation. Is this how she had made so many others feel? Through her constant killings. As she had seen with Luca; it wasn't impossible for Demons to forge bonds that could last forever just as humans could. How many of those Demons had a family, a lover or even a friend that would have been deeply saddened by their death? And Alisa had been the one who inflicted such feelings upon them.

Alisa wanted out; a task that was easier said than done. Alisa had always felt the urge to hunt; it was in her blood from the start. No matter what she did, she couldn't tear herself away from the life she had always known. Despite the feelings of guilt and regret inside of her, she continues to hunt to this day; knowing that with each kill she is merely pulling herself back into an endless cycle of pain. She continues to live as a wealthy elite, respected by many people; but forever burdened with a tradition she can't escape from.

Weapons and Tools
Alisa carried around two of her families finest blades when hunting; one of them dipped in the blood of a Vampire and the other in the blood of a Werewolf. In addition to these two deadly weapons, Alisa's fingernails are coated in a rich, silver. While this silver cannot kill an undead; it is enough to fend them away from Alisa when she is unable to reach her weapons.[/SPOILER][/FONT]

Name: Levi Bauer
Gender: Male
Age: 34, born in 1771
Species: Human
State: Contracted
Appearance: Currently I cannot get my image to work; while I attempt to make it work you can imagine him as a man with shoulder length russet hair and a small beard.

History: Levi comes from a mixed heritage as his mother is English (Anna Clarks) and his father (Peter Bauer) hailed from the North German Confederation. His father decided there were better places to be and left for England. Once in England he managed to land a job as a temporary ship hand on an unknown trading vessel. It was during this time that Mr. Peter Bauer decided ship work was his calling and found a ship that would employ him, The Leviathan. He continued to work aboard The Leviathan until he took a break in 1769 due to an injury he acquired during a more hectic storm. While staying in a port town he met the young English woman Anna Clarks and found himself instantly smitten.

All though it took a great deal of effort on his part, Anna eventually reciprocated the feelings and the two were wed in May of 1770. And the next year there son was born, Levi Bauer. Because of the wound Peter Bauer received and because he desired to remain with his family he never rejoined The Leviathan and instead became a fisherman. Like his father, Levi grew up with a love of the sea and longed to one day sail far out into her vast waters. Around the year of 1790 the family befriended a man by the name of Walter Goodall, who served as captain of a transporter ship. Walter claimed he once worked on The Leviathan and was thoroughly impressed by Peter, as such he attempt to recruit him to his ship only to be rejected. Ultimately there came a time when Walter would be taking a long voyage that would not allow him to return for many months and through much coaxing he convinced the old sailor to come along with him.

This had been a mistake.

The ship never returned and it was believed to have been torn asunder in a passing storm. And so time carried on, and Levi took up his father job as a fisher to provide, his dream of sailing became less as responsibilities pulled him down. It was one day in the year of 1798 when he came across a man who had set sail on that fateful journey; he was perfectly fine-but he claimed to be a different man. Angered by this discovery, Levi began to search vigorously for any traces of the other sailors. He was capable of finding two more, both who lived under fake names, and all three of whom disappeared shortly after being suspected. Determination began to consume him as he no longer believed the story of the storm. He became obsessed and would use any means necessary to obtain the answer he sought.

What he looks like now (Take away the assassin gear and replace with smart clothes):

What he looked like very young:

Name: Adriano Abrudel

Gender: Male

Age: 296

Species: Vampire

State: Bound

Personality: He is quiet and smiles rarely for he has nothing to smile for. He is polite and quite gallant to other vampire’s unless they are rude to him. However he will kill who he is told to kill without regret or mercy.

History: Born in 1509 in Venice, the same year that the French invaded. His parents were simple fishmongers and fled the country in an attempt to escape the war. He had older brothers who were both killed in their flight of the city. Once in the countryside they began travelling to Spain where they could hire a sailor to take them to England. His parents however were not good travellers and were devastated at the death of all but one of their children. At some point in their journey they were attacked by bandits who brutally beat Adriano’s father to death with crude weapons. Once finished with him they turned to find the woman and child gone. Whilst they had been clubbing the father she had fled with her son. Eventually they reached the coast and hired a sailor who took them across the channel. Once in England Adriano’s mother finally lost her strength and collapsed in the port they had stopped at. People came to help; they wrapped the baby in blankets and tried to tend to the woman. But she was too cold and ill and was suffering from shock. She died late that night. Adriano grew up in the orphanage, which he hated. He broke the law aged 16 by running away and fleeing out of the town and into the country. He dodged the law for the next ten years or so. Stealing food, money and occasionally working for coin. He knew not what to do with his life, he was an orphan with no family anywhere to support him. Eventually he started to slow down. Stealing less and working more. When he moved to London he found work as a courier. He had always been a strong runner, now he could be paid for it.
It was on one delivery that he met a girl in the street completely by accident. It so happened that she was the daughter of the man that Adriano worked for. Her name was Alice and he was instantly enchanted by her beauty. They spoke for a long while there in the street before finally exchanging locations to meet then departing. Within a few weeks they became close friends and within a few months they had completely fallen for each other. They both knew it could never work however for she was a lady and lived in a large mansion, and he was a poor foreign boy who lived in an inn and couldn’t even afford his own house. Despite this they were soon becoming even closer, and one day she invited him to come and visit while her father was at work. So the next day at lunchtime he went round and visited. It escalated quickly and before he knew it they were on top of each other and making passionate love. It was at that point that the door flew open and her father returned home to find his daughter performing adultery with an 18 year old peasant.
He was thrown into the street and beaten repeatedly by one of his men. Then he was left in the mud, his money taken and his love never for me to see again.
There he lay for many hours. Pondering in miserable silence what he should do.
It was not until that evening that he bothered to get up and move to shelter.
He spent the next few years honing his skill with a blade, preparing to become the only thing he knew he would be good at, an assassin. About two years later he was initiated into an assassin’s guild. He worked for them for another few years until he was given a contract to go to London and kill one of the rich aristocrats who owned many factories and markets. He was told there was a heft reward for completing this contract. So Adriano and two other assassins made their way to London. Once at the house they waited until night fall and then snuck in.
They quietly dispatched the guards and left one man on guard at the entrance. Making their way further in they found the man sitting by a fireplace with a girl next to him. Acting on instinct Adriano hurled a throwing knife at her just as she turned round. It was Alice; there was a second when her eyes seemed to light up with happiness. Then the knife sank into her chest and she collapsed to the floor. Something changed in him as he saw Alice lying dead on the floor, some distant light finally extinguished. The other assassin had killed the man and was shaking Adriano hard telling him that they had to go. In one fluent motion Adriano had pulled the assassin’s own dagger from his belt and stabbed him through the neck with it. He then proceeded to kill the other assassin and set the house alight.
The guards found him cradling Alice in his arms. They dragged him, screaming from the house and to the prison.
That same night in the prison he was approached by a seemingly young and beautiful woman. This woman said that he did not deserver to die, instead he should live in her service, and his life would hers. Not knowing whether he had a choice or not Adriano grudgingly accepted. He was hung the next day at dawn.
So the woman came to his near dead body and made him into a vampire. She introduced herself as Carmen, and so began his life of service to her.
At first he went slightly mad with his new power and strength. He fought many other soulless vampires in the covern. He eventually went too far and killed one. Carmen then put him in the dungeon for a month or so.
At the end of that month she came to him and took him to a hidden location where she fed him tiny doses of blood to train him control and spent a long time teaching him how to fight better and even dance!
Manners also came into the equation.
Within a few years he had mastered himself and had become a quiet, cold and merciless killer (also polite and helpful to other vampires).
He stayed at Carmen’s side until about 40 years ago when a man named Adán tasted his own blood nearby. Interested Adriano went to investigate and ended up being contracted to this man. Adán’s brother had become a werewolf and had transformed, killing their entire family. Now Adán wanted to find and kill him. Once contracted Adriano was relinquished from Carmen’s service until his contract was complete. He still hunts this werewolf at Adán’s side…

Contractor:

Name:Adrán

Age: 76

Personality:
Adrán is friendly, very blunt and has a thing for women, he is always on the lookout for some fun with a willing lady despite his age. He holds grudges very easily and for a long time and he can be incredibly arrogant at times, much to Adriano's annoyance.

History:
He doesn't talk about his past much, all Adriano knows is that he is from a rich trading family in spain that specialized in the animal trade.

Name: Sophia Brandon
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Species: Half-breed Seraphim, turned vampire
State: Soulless
Personality: Sophia is meek, quiet and can’t stand any form of conflict. She gets upset easily and has almost no experience in social situations. She has little sense of self-worth mainly due to her father’s quite obvious disdain for his weakling daughter. She has a high tolerance for pain developed in her years of illness.
History: Sophia is the child of a rogue seraphim and a human mother. Her mother came from a rich family and married well; she pretended that Sophia was her husband’s child and Sophia never knew her real father. She was always weak and fragile growing up and had several close brushes with death; the doctors could never understand how she survived but she always did. When she was 18 her mother died suddenly of unknown ailment and the next day she was attacked in the street and woke up as a vampire. Carmen found her and looked after her for the next 2 months, helping her to survive.

Name: Anthony Hastings
Gender: Male
Age: 31
Species: Human
State: Contracted
Appearance:

Personality: A steely personality by necessity, but he can be gentle and loving. He is not naturally cold-hearted but he does a good job at it nonetheless. He is always a Gentleman though, etiquette becoming almost instinctual.
History: He was born to Noble Family, the first-born son to a Military father and a Lady mother. Later on he had a sister and she loved him like nothing else had ever done. He adored her in turn and became completely devoted to her care and safety. Years passed and when she turned 18 her parents pressured her to find a husband. Eventually they grew tired of waiting and forced a marriage of convenience upon her to a completely odious man whom had likely killed his previous two wives, though they had both died in childbirth. Anthony knew he could not let his sister be married to a monster, but he also knew he could not kill the man outright since his sister would undoubtably be forced to marry another or even blamed for his murder. So, after finding an odd book that told of secret rituals to call demonic servants to his side, he drank his own blood and was found by two Vampires. He was promptly taken to an estate not far away in the Devonshire countryside where he met a dark and beautiful woman. She told him she would give him one of her companions as his servant to aide him in his quest so long as once his deed was done, he would freely offer up his soul. Anthony accepted without question, he could not do this alone. He was shocked at the appearance of his chosen servant, a delicate angelic creature she was, dainty and fragile looking. The dark woman saw his surprise and mistrust and told him that there was more to the girl than met his eye and that even her innocence would prove useful to him in his task.

This is Sophia's Contractor, I'll be playing him
