~"My, how charming to meet you, my dear."~

~Claudia DeFeren~

Gender:
Female

Relationship Status:
Single and ready to mingle

Sexual Orientation:
Bisexual with more of a lean towards women. Never slept with men much

Species:
Vampire

Powers:

~Shape-Shifting~
As with most Nosferatu, Claudia has the ability to change shape into almost anything. Her most common alternate-form is of a black cat, but she can also form into a bat (naturally) or a cloud of dark mist.

~Vampire Allurement~
With just a simple look into her eyes or a batting of her eyelashes, a soft smirk included, Claudia can gain control of someone and lure them to her subconciously. Of course, it's only effective if the intended target is of weak will, but she is rather persistent in her...endeavors.

Weaknesses:

Though she is a vampire, Claudia is only affected by a few common vampire weaknesses. She can still ingest garlic, albeit in moderate amounts, and she can still traverse through sunlight, only for a short amount of time before she begins to feel weary, light-headed, and at some points nauseous. Prolonged exposure to sunlight may even cause her to faint or her skin to blister painfully, but this is only in the case of direct contact with her skin.

Religious paraphernalia if touched to her skin will cause minor burns and the sight of such can cause her to have splitting migraines and even lash out angrily. Naturally though, a stake to the heart can kill her instantly. The same goes with forcing her to swallow holy water.

Persona:

Claudia is a very jovial and carefree woman. She loves to laugh, drink, dance, sing, and flirt, especially with other women. She has a vibrant personality that seems to charm everyone around her and lift their spirits, but if you cross her, she can be quite the fire storm.

She can be quite moody sometimes, especially of she doesn't get her way, and she can be very loyal and dependent.

Claudia has been a vampire for a very long time, but that doesn't necessarily mean she enjoys it. Rather, she's not too fond of being a creature of the dark, having to sustain her life by sucking the blood of innocent humans and avoid direct contact with the sun. Also, she views her immortality as more of a curse than a blessing, having to live forever while those around her died, including her many human lovers.

Short Bio:

There is no telling where or from who this woman originated from. She claims she was born in a castle to a powerful vampire lord and his mate during the time of the Crusades, somewhere around what is now modern day Normandy. There is nothing left of the castle now, only a few stones to mark where it once stood tall and proud.

For many, many years the woman has lived. She's witnessed countless centuries of human history unfold. She's met so many fascinating people, learned so many things about the world, and she's taken many a lover during her lifetime, but alas...

Immortality is both a blessing...and a curse.

As she continued to live, her friends and dearest loved ones passed away before her very eyes. She would never be able to join them in the peace of the afterlife. This saddened the woman to no end.

For the time being, she's drifted from place to place, a regular globetrotter, taking in the sights, sounds, food and culture of many nations, tribes, and people. Now, she finds herself in the luxurious yet peculiar home of one Maximus Canis. She spends her days mostly musing of the past, reading classic literature, and drinking exquisite wines while taking in the beauty and the serenity of the forest castle.

Vanity Leon

"The King of the Savanna Rock"

Age: ???
Persona: Lazy, but, prideful
Homeland: Africa
Species: Were-Lion

Gender: Male
Relationship Status: Single
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual, but, prefers women

Skin tone: Pale
Hair tone: Red and Black
Eye color: Golden with feline pupils

Abilities: Vanity is immune to all humanly disease, including time. Also he is immune to some legendary inflictions... Such as vampirism. He also has abnormally high strength, endurance, and senses.

Powers: Vanity has the power to commune with all felines. This power typically allows him to bend them to his will, but, only if the feline grants him this respect. Given his... Affliction, which he has mastered over the centuries, he can change to a werewolf-like creature at will. Only this transformation appears much more like a lion and turns his hide into a stone-like material.

Bio: Vanity was not his true name, though, over the uncountable years of his affliction he has forgotten his true name. Buried so deep within his mind that even Maximus can not help him retrieve them. He was once the young king of a large African tribe of warriors. He had many wives as his time as king, but, one day he came across a woman... An enchantress. A woman who's beauty was only rivalled by her understanding of the dark arts.

So, naturally, he did what all young kings do... Abused his power... Took what he wanted... Little did he know this enchantress was far more powerful than he. She cast her magic upon him. Controlled him. Brought him to the center of the savanna before releasing him to the spirit who ruled those lands. One she worshipped. The King of the Cats; a lion spirit.

This spirit gave him inhumanly power, but, with a cost. He grew two horns of stone to expose his demons. His eyes shining a royal gold, but, morphing to that of a cat's eyes. Though, worst of all... His once dark, flawless, skin was turned pale; no longer able to be recognized as the king he once was. With this gift the spirit vanished with a roar.

Naturally he did what any many would do... Returned home. Only to find his wives... His soldiers... They saw him as a monster. Unable to recognize him they attacked the moment he entered the village. He begged and pleaded, but, in the end... The beast had unleashed itself... He slaughtered them. Leaving only the enchantress to laugh in his suffering.

Countless decades later he had met Maximus, who despite his affliction, accepted him as a friend. Trained him to control it and helped him regain memories and feelings long since past. Together they had founded the Canis family.

Appearance: Vanity, just as his name and origin would suggest, wears very little clothes unless heading into the common world. Only a pair of loose silken pants covering his lower body. Many African charms made of teeth from panthers, lions, and tigers alike accessorising his massive biceps and chest.

He regularly files down his stone horns to keep them hidden from all; especially himself. Hiding the filed horns under his rather peculiar hair cut. The left side of his scarlet hair cascadind down his head while the right side was shaved down to short stubbles; dyed a deep black.
