Species: Vampire
Back story: Xander was turned by a vampire whilst hiding in a church after his whole village was destroyed. He spent 50 years living in the woods, trying to avoid civilisation and temptation, but was brought into the city by a need for companionship. He became part of a group of vampires known as the Darkness, who are known to local authorities as a simple gang who rob and murder. Xander is in the middle of the group - not lowly, but not powerful. His main role is to find out what areas and people would be easiest to target, so that the enforcers can swoop in and do what they need to.
Strengths: Stealthy, thoughtful, passionate
Weaknesses: Hesitates too much sometimes, loyal to his kind without reason, and willingness to detach from what happens as a result of his work.
Name: Annie Maxwell
Age: 19 human years, 115 real years
Species: Angel
Backstory: Annie died young; she hadn't even reached her twenties when she had been killed. It had happened so quickly, yet she remembers every detail of it. There had been a little boy — he couldn't have been older than five. She had watched with wary eyes as he crossed the street, by himself, without looking both ways. A car that was going over the speed limit came racing in his direction; it hadn't seen him. Before she had even realized what she had been doing, she ran into the middle of the road, and she stood there with her arms thrown out to either side to stop the vehicle from killing the poor child. In trade, she had sacrificed her own life. She had always been a very innocent, good-natured person; that was probably what allowed her to become an angel after her passing. Now she roams the alleyways, mostly trying to stay hidden.
Strengths: Stealthy, resourceful, intelligent, quick thinker/quick reflexes
Weaknesses: Cynical, quick to fight, has trouble with emotions (whether they be coming frm her or directed at her)
Other: Annie carries a black Excalibur pistol with her in cases of self defense. In addition, she tends to surprise people with her ability to fight hand to hand combat.
Appearance:
The city slept. Well, most of it. In the middle of the city was a warehouse that everyone assumed abandoned and condemned, yet for the last twenty years, it hadn't been torn down. The notice was on the door stating that it was to be destroyed, but it never went anywhere. Within the walls of the warehouse were a hundred vampires. They slept through the days and roamed at night. News called them the Darkness. "The Darkness struck again," the headlines would read. "Three dead, four injured. No leads."
Xander left the warehouse wearing his typical clothing - black boots, dark denim skinny leg jeans, a black t-shirt, a leather jacket. It wasn't his favourite thing to wear, but it helped him blend in at night. No one came near him unless he made himself approachable, and that wasn't often. He left the alley way the warehouse was in and walked down the street with his hands in his pockets, pulling a packet of cigarettes out and lighting one as he went.
"Here we go again," he muttered, looking around. His job tonight was simple: the vampires were hungry and he needed a group of humans for them to feed on. He wasn't to gather them, just to find them. His temperament wasn't violent enough to attack them by himself, and so he found the people and others brought them back to the warehouse. His fangs burned. He was hungry. So hungry.
Turning a corner, he watched a group of people come from a club. The streets were quiet, but the club was buzzing. It was in a quiet area, and the only people there were clubbing. Most, drunk or high. "Perfect." he grinned to himself, and then perched on a stack of chairs outside, sitting on the edge of them. Before he went back, he wanted to wait for someone to walk out alone... The perk of his job was that whilst he couldn't take big groups of people down, he could find a loner and get a good feed before he went back.
And so, Xander waited.
