Name: Egardo Bautista

Age: 523

Age turned: 29

Description: He's a small man. Five foot five and olive skinned, Egardo has dark nearly black hair, cut short but starting to grow out in places. Shaggy is a good description as his face is usually varying degrees of bearded. He is stocky and broad shouldered with a resting frown accentuated by muddled green eyes. It's a very concerned look from years of disappointment, but there's still hope that shines even despite the melancholy that tinges his every move.

Bio: Egardo found his livelihood among conquistadors, pillaging and raping the new world. Growing up in the height of the Spanish conquering of Mexico, the oppurtunities for land and riches were too much to pass up for a lowly merchant's son and he was promised land and a title to pass along to his descendants, instead he only found death and misery.

Sent on an expedition to kill the final indigenous stragglers, after a successful mission on the Yucatan peninsula, something started picking off his comrades. Deep in the unforgiving jungle, where many Spaniards had already died from the harsh environment, large predators began to stalk them. They methodically killed them off until only Egardo remained. He was chased and played with like a mouse, and after days he was starved and crazed, praying to God that he would mercifully be killed, but the creatures had other plans. Men emerged from the dark forest on a moonless night, and offered him their blood. He gladly drank it knowing it would end the torture.

The vampires finally revealed their plan, taking him away and unleashing the starving fledgling among the Spanish where he ate his superiors. That night he was reborn as a vampire, though it would be years before he regained enough sense to understand that and centuries still before he referred to himself as such.

His clan used him as a conduit with the outside world, but as they fled deeper into the ruins of old fallen empires, they slowly cut ties with him. He would always be a constant reminder of what the Spanish conquerers took away and deep down they'd never accept him as one of their own.

He wandered after that, returning to Spain for a while, but too much time had passed and he recognized little of his home. Since then he's spent most of his time trying to find a place to belong, learning all he could about Vampire clans and the process of creating new ones. He's been waiting for the perfect opportunity which has led him to Santa Carla, hoping this time he'll be successful.

House name: Teconeuh Mictlan (Children of the Underworld)

House Bio: A sect of vampires created this house in mesoamerica around 1500 BCE. They took up the mantle of the local gods to better hunt down their prey. Eventually they lived symbiotically with the Aztecs as embodiments of age old myths, respected and feared by the people, but seen as a necessary part of life. After the Spanish conquest and the formation of Mexico the once communal vampires were chased to the edges of society, the new dominant religion of Catholicism painting them as pure evil.

For many years they played up the satanic and demonic monikers that came with the new religion, mercilessly killing and destroying as was done to the Aztecs, but with Catholicism came highly trained hunters from Europe and soon they retreated further into the wilderness. They rarely sire new vampires, keeping to themselves in the ruins that skirt more populated cities in Mexico.
 
Name: Catrina Alma

Age: 33

Age turned: 20

Description: Cat has long black curly hair, the ringlets cradling a sharp and angular face. Her skin is sun-kissed, but it looks pale against the black hair, her usually severe looks act to keep people at bay. You would barely guess her gangly body is nearly six feet tall as she spends most of her time sitting on her motorcycle, to hide her mangled legs. She does everything in her power to be intimidating, and becoming a vampire has helped immensely.

tumblr_inline_nye59px7fI1sc3ygs_250.gif

Bio:

Catrina was a happy child growing up on her parent's ranch in Arizona. She spent most of her childhood up before the crack of dawn feeding cattle with her brothers and sisters. They were a close knit religious family, Cat's father a stern but loving man, who wanted nothing more than to see his children, and children's children, live and thrive on the land his family had owned for generations.

The Almas had supplied much of the state with the best horses in the west, back when that had meant something. By the time Cat was born in the fifties their main income came from beef, so their horses were mainly bought for racing, bringing them even more notoriety and wealth.

But tragedy struck the family. The youngest children contracted polio, two of them dying and leaving Cat, bed ridden and crippled at the age of 16. Her bright future seemed to burst right before her eyes. As her older siblings went on to bigger things, taking their privilege and continuing to build on their family legacy, Catrina fell into a deep depression for years.

Her salvation came in the form of a young farmhand. While her parents deliberated business with competitors and bankers over dinner, the young man was capturing Catrina's heart.

Her father was opposed to it for years. He wanted better for his only daughter, so he tried bringing suitors to the house, but they could never see past her disability. Besides it was too late, she was in love. Eddy would climb the lattice behind the farmhouse and sing soft songs through her open window. He told her he would take her away from the misery and sealed the promise with a kiss. She wished everyday would be her last on the farm that had become a prison.

He came one night, pulling her from her bed, and carrying her on his back. They would elope, but he asked her to steal money from her father for them. She did't want the money, but she complied taking nearly everything from his safe and they rode away on one of her father's famed horses. For a second she thought she was free, but it didn't last.

It had all been a ruse to gain her trust and kidnap her. Eddy worked for their main competitors and they had just ruined the famous Almas in one fell swoop. He took her to the middle of the desert, beat her half to death, and left her for the buzzards.

As the sun set she heard a rumbling in the distance. Like a horde of horses... but as they came closer the engines of more than a dozen motorbikes solidified. They surrounded her, and the leader of this gang approached Catrina, asking her a single question. "Do you want to live?"

"Eddy...." Was all she said, and it was yes enough, so he stuck a canteen in her mouth telling her to drink deeply.

The rest of the night the vampirism cured and strengthened her body, and even though her legs remained mangled from Polio, she could stand and above that she could fly. So the vampire clan took her to her kidnappers where she drank from their blood fully cementing her life as a creature of the night.

House name: Cielo West

Short House Bio:

Cielo West spun off of a group that had it's roots with the tribes of indians that roamed the pre-colonized south. Manifest destiny sent thousands of settlers to the west and a small group of opportunists and young vampires followed causing mayhem in their wake, settlers becoming easy pickings and respect for old ways thrown to the waysides. The older house was horrified and kicked the outlaws out, thus creating Cielo West.

But this was a turbulent time when new vampire clans were sprouting left and right to take advantage of the new world around them. To stay competitive they made a deal with a rancher, Avidez Alma, who supplied them with the best horses in the west, in exchange for protection and a cut of their spoils.

They made it through the new century and when cars and motorbikes became the future they easily switched out and the old deal between Cielo West and the Almas seemed forgotten, until the grandson of the man they had done business with all those years ago contacted them.

It would be a final pact between the vampires and the Almas: save his daughter and they could keep the money that had been stolen. But saving her meant turning her, so they took Catrina and returned the money, effectively cutting ties with the Almas

Catrina did not appreciate any of it. She was angry. Even more angry at the revelation that her oh so religious great grandfather had sold his soul to these vampires a long time ago. She became a bitter force to be reckoned with that echoed the kind of Cielo West that it used to be. But the years had mellowed them out, and the times were different. Alma quickly became too much of a risk and she was kicked out as easily as their old clan had kicked them out all those years ago.
 
Name: Beastly (Victor Hyde)
Age: 18
Age turned: 18

Description: Pretty much the opposite of his nickname, Beastly is a thin unassuming young man. His face is long and he keeps his black hair cut short, the easiest way to tame his curls. A happy-go-lucky and naive young man, his inquisitive brown eyes will follow you if you even give a hint of a smile his way. And he has the biggest smile you could imagine on a kid, a smile that has been rare since his run in with his maker.

(Reference FC: Jordan Fisher)

Bio: Victor Hyde was a rambunctious kid. Given that and his parent's love of all things horror, they gave him the nickname Beastly. It stuck even at school, but didn't help to intimidate any bullies. Since he was small and sweet natured, with big round glasses that were almost always broken down the middle, he was an easy target. And other kids thought he was weird, from his name to the weird things he'd bring to show and tell from his parent's workshop, it didn't help him make many friends.

His parents worked for different movie studios in L.A., doing special effects but specializing in monster make-up. Victor always had the best costume on Halloween, making kids dislike him even more. It was a lonely childhood, until he met Frankie. The other boy sat next to him on the first day of seventh grade, dressed all in black and dropping his notebook full of crudely drawn monsters on the ground between them. They immediately bonded over their love of horror.

Kids are perceptive, and though Beastly had a weird name and his parents worked with fake body parts all day long, maybe it was his slight effeminacy that made other children bully him just a little harder. And Frankie knew that all too well. From then on they spent all their spare time together, talking, writing, singing and loving horror, going as far as to sneak out one night to catch a midnight showing of The Rocky Horror.

Highschool was rough, but together they found other outcasts and after years of loneliness, Beastly felt like he belonged. It was the summer before his senior year when his parents broke the news; they were moving to Vancouver. They'd held out as long as they could, but there were more opportunities in Canada, so they couldn't pass up the chance. Beastly was heartbroken. The one person he loved more than family, more than a friend even, was Frankie and he didn't want to be separated from him. But his parents didn't understand the fuss he was making. He'd make new friends, and if he wanted to talk to Frankie so badly, he could call him on the phone. But for Beastly it felt like the end.

Canada was hell, he hated every minute of it, and one month into his senior year he ran away. He was going to make it California even if he had to hitchhike back. He was going to be with Frankie again. The love of his young life.

He someone made it across the country, by bus and train and good samaritans, until he made it to the coast. There he met a stranger who said she'd take him as far as Santa Carla. Beastly spilt his guts to the woman on the long drive and right before they made it into the city the woman stopped the car. She offered him a drink of something, and Beastly took it. He passed out, dreaming of monsters and screams. He woke up on the beach, alone and with a pain and hunger he couldn't really sate. He was turning into a vampire, and he didn't even know it.

House name: Unknown (See Etienne Rosette Duless)
 
Name: Etienne Rosette Duless

Age:

Age turned: 30

tumblr_inline_owi1cxCRr71t80jpm_400.gif

Reference FC: Ruth Nega

Description: Etienne is a small unassuming woman. Lighter brown in skin tone, with lighter brown eyes, that always look like they're deeply analyzing you. She usually wears her hair short, but given that she's always on the run, will change it from time to time. Despite her small stature, she is quick in catching people unawares, before disappearing back into a crowd. She is not the most feminine, feeling much more comfortable in men's clothes, finding it easier to comfortably move around in such garb.



Bio: Under Construction

House name: Chevaliers de l'obscurité (Knights of the Darkness)

Short House Bio: The Knights of Darkness were formed by a King of France, as his special forces, used for only the most important missions. How the King got a loyal set of vampires to form a new house under his flag is only known to the remaining members of the clan, Etienne and the Vampire that sired her and who is the head of the house. They don't reminisce too often about those times, despite it being the height of their clan.

Especially because after years of faithful service, they were tasked with taking out the biggest Vampire clan in all of France. The French Vampire houses were some of the most opulent and indulgent, running rampant across the city without much oversight. The King allowed it, if it meant it kept the commoners focused on something other than revolution, but he saw them as nothing more than bugs, to be terminated when he saw fit. So he ordered his Knights to turn against their kind and they did not back down from their orders. They slaughtered the head vampire, taking out a sizeable chunk of the vampire population in Paris in an instant, but with heavy casualties. The smaller houses did not take kindly on this infringement and fought back. After all was said and done, only two vampires remained.

But it was all for nought when just a couple years later the commoners succeeded in taking down the monarchy. The Knights had no king to serve, and their names were hated among most Vampire houses in Europe, especially the oldest ones. They were hunted and eventually disappeared. No one has heard of them for at least a century, until Etienne finally turned a kid somewhere in California in 1987.

Name: Delphine Regnard

Face Claim: Kate Winslet

Age: 232

Age turned: 24

Description: She is very maternal woman with natural blonde curls and kind blue eyes. Delphine was quite tall for a woman in her time and had been described as having a 'full womanly figure' which has not changed much sine then, to this day, she is quite proud of her full bosom, and wide hips and she likes to show these assets off with fashion as much as possible. She tries to keep up with the latest fashion, particularly now as she does not wish to draw unwanted attention to herself, though she longs for the days of corsets and petticoats.


Bio: Delphine strove to better her position in live, for someone who had no connections to any persons of high blood, she married Monsieur Louis Rengard, a General who fought in the Seven Years War and bore him two children Diana and Philippe. The Rengard family longed to be invited to Versailles, Delphine made it her mission to call on as many noble men and women as possible in order to obtain an invitation to court. While returning from calling on Madame de Polignac one summer evening, she was stopped in an alleyway by a young man of no more than fourteen years, pleading for help. She followed the boy through the winding streets where she was apprehended by a gang who viciously attacked her and left her for dead.

Before dawn, while she was praying for dead to come quickly, she was found by a seemingly middle-aged man who took her to safety where he helped her to turn into a vampire. He heard her pray and knew that she was eligible to become one of their members.

House Name: Fleurs De La Nuit (Flowers of the Night)

Short House Bio: The clan was set up during the time of Charlamange. They separated themselves from the other clans by making ethical decisions of who was turned and welcomed into their clan. They would not turn children, they would not turn the ill, they would only turn those who showed faith in a higher power, it did not matter where that higher power originated as long as the person had faith.

Many of their members were wiped out in the run up to the French Revolution by the King's special forces, this turned many, including Delphine, against the King and Queen. The clan leader tried to secure safe passage for the remaining clan members, in the ships full of French soldiers who were deployed to assist in the American War of Independence. At this time, Delphine made her way to New Orleans and tried, with some of the other former clan members, to start up another faction of Fleurs De La Nuit, however they could never decide who would lead the clan. In the 1980s, she traveled towards California to see if, once again, she could find a clan, which she has been longing to do since leaving France.

Name: Dacey Xiu

Face Claim: Oscar Isaac

Age: 470

Age turned: 28

Description: Dacey is a strong, well build man who has dark hair that has a natural curl if he allows it to grow and deep brown eyes. His skin is naturally tanned, even without the effects of sunlight. He grew his signature mustache around the late 1850s and decided to keep it maintained for over 100 years. He enjoys well made suits, a habit he took up during the turn of the last century but has tried to adopt some more modern fashionable clothes, however, he always reverts to his suits.

Bio: Dacey was born into a Mayan family of farmers, who owned a small plot of land for farming, which he inherited from his father when he passed away from an unexplained illness. He married a young woman who came from a family of laborers and try as they might, the gods did not bless them with a child. A few years into their marriage, Dacey joined some local men in creating a militia to push back the Spanish conquistadors who started to invade their village. They were successful in pushing them back, but with terrible consequences; smallpox ravaged the village, Dacey lost his mother and wife to the disease.

Downtrodden, he traveled further north in order to continue fighting the Spaniards who continued to attack the Mayan towns and villages. He met a man who asked him if he wanted to see the end to the foreign invasion, which Dacey did. The man said that he would perform a ritual which would help with this. This was how Dacey was turned and initiated into Teconeuh Mictlan.

Name: Orion Wilder

Face Claim: Robert Sheehan

Age: 20

Age turned: 19

Description: A tall, young man who is very gaunt due to the illness he suffered when he was alive. Orion has unruly brown hair and forest green eyes, his fashion sense could be described as ... outlandish and always unmatching. He has red blotches dotted along his chest and his upper arms, which is the most telling sign that Orion had been suffering from AIDS before he turned.

Bio: Orion was born to free spirited parents who lived in a commune outside of Los Angeles. Once Orion turned fourteen, he realised that he was living in a cult and wanted to escape. He lived rough for a few years, but made friends with a few young musicians and artists who pooled together to rent a house in the outskirts of Hollywood. While living with them, he fell in love with a German immigrant named Anton who joined them a few months after they started renting the house. Orion thought that things would stay this way forever, organising shows and art openings. But some of his friends started to get ill, including Anton, there were rumours about a serious illness that was affecting LGBT+ people. The more Orion learned about this disease and how nothing was being done and these people were being discriminated against, the more furious he got. The house turned into a hospice for AIDS suffers, Orion tried his best to treat them without receiving formal education.

Between caring for the dying and protesting that the American government recognised this crisis, Orion ignored the signs that he too had begin to suffer from the disease. When Orion knew he did not have long to live, he decided to have a last night on the town, hitting up many different clubs and drinking until he could not see straight anymore.

When he woke up after this wild night out, he was back in his home and could not remember a thing. He did not feel as ill as he had been. Orion did not remember anything, except a handsome man. There was a note left for him from this man;

'You won't suffer any longer.'

House Name: N/A - Orion still has no idea who his sire is, therefore, he does not have a clan to belong to.

Short House Bio: N/A
