Name: Raquel Ariel Regis
Gender: Female
D.O.B: December 11th, 1978
Age: 23
Team Position: Vampire Hunter, Slayer and Point Woman
Mother: Irene Regis
Father: Jack Crow
Siblings: None
Nicknames: "Raq", "Reg", "Raqqy", "Red Girl", "Fire-hair" *to the vampires*.
Physical Appearance:
Regis stands at the fair height of 5'11". She does in fact though wear leather boots that come up to her ankles that are 1 inch off the ground, making her a little taller than her father, Jack Crow.
Her body structure is graciously sculptured with a medium bust and a curvaceous waist, which some consider not quite the ideal vampire slayer, but she is quite fit, agile and flexible. (Refer to Fitness Level) Although her body doesn't show it, she has a lot of muscle.
Raquel's face is an ever-changing portrait of beauty that has been invisibly covered over by bitterness during her life. Dark furious green eyes that are most times covered by red tinted sunglasses seem normal to a human, but to a vampire the eyes that burn behind those glasses spell doom. Her lips, like her hair are very red and to vampires, when those lips utter one word, that word can only mean death.
Her complexion is smooth dove white and can burn quite easily if she spent an excessive amount of time in the sun. But most of the time, she doesn't really care because she cares for her life, not for her skin.
Regis's fiery red hair is cut to a medium length. It's nothing special, but she doesn't really care.
Fitness Level:
Of course, in this dangerous profession, the element of health is definitely an issue. So, for her own good, Raquel practises kickboxing, street fighting, many forms of martial arts, and gymnastics. Without these talents, Regis wouldn't have survived for the past ten years of slaying.
Background:
Raquel's past has been an exciting but a dangerous one.
Five years after her birth, her mother Irene was attacked by a Master vampire and bitten three times. At that time, Raquel had been spending the night over at her Aunt Noras's house.
Jack who had just came home from a guy's night out found his beloved wife lying in a puddle of her own blood underneath an open window in the bathroom. Crow knew that if someone you knew, even as a friend must be killed because the vampire virus would cause the victims to become a vampire themselves. But the vampire slayer could not bring him self to kill his spouse, so instead of killing her, he left her in their home to become a night dweller. Crow had to make the crucial decision of either taking his only daughter with him to another place far away from New York or leaving her in the care of an orphanage where she herself would surely be attacked at such a young age.
Acknowledging the fact that he and his team of vampire slayers were to be stationed in New Mexico, Jack made the decision to take Regis with him. Despite the fact that she would indeed have to endure the hardships of living on the wrong side of the social track, there was no other alternative.
After Crow's explanation to Team Crow about his predicament, all of his teammates thought that this solution would not be a good idea. This conclusion arising from such topics as her gender, the world that she was going to live in and her father's dangerous profession.
But, after much verbal debate, Jack convinced that Raquel would be a precious commodity to the team if she was to learn the "art" of vampire slaying and if she was extra well-trained, she would become the leader of the next team of vampire slayers.
Months turned into years as Regis grew up with her father and his team in New Mexico. Every time the team went on a hunt, she would stay at headquarters and train with Tony Montoya who acted as her temporary nursemaid.
Finally came the day when Regis was finally able to join her father on hunts, not to mention the day that she proved her talents…
At age 10, Regis was told to stay with Montoya outside a hunting site, but unknown to Tony, she had swindled a silver stake and snuck away from her mentor to where Team Crow had ventured. As she neared the Team's location, she could hear inhuman hisses, gunfire and unnatural screams. Intrigued and a little terrified, she made her way towards the commotion, only to find her father being held against a wall by a vicious-looking woman with sharp teeth and Artic white skin. Unsure of what to do, she quickly and clumsily threw the stake that she had been carrying towards the female. It's point making direct contact with her chest, causing the woman to let Crow go and sink to the ground, dead.
As Regis discovered on the way back home to the Team's headquarters, she had just slain a female Master vampire. From then on, all members of Team Crow began to respect Raquel's abilities and her potential.
Ten long years passed as Jack watched his "baby girl" grow from a young tag-a-long to a professional vampire slayer.
However, after a chain of unfortunate events involving the merciless slaughter of Team Crow, an unwanted female prostitute visitor and finding a potential holy ally, Raquel's world was turned upside down, and she found herself meeting the vampire that bit her mother all those years ago: Valek. Valek was the one whom she and her father had vowed to hunt down. Despite the fact that Regis was a vampire slayer and his greatest nemesis's ally the Master found himself holding a great lust for her.
Personality Traits:
Since Regis was raised in a tough, hostile part of the world, therefore her persona follows along those same lines.
Although she is not a genuine ice-queen, she can be rather insensitive, sometimes even bitchy. But those who are close to her know that she has a thick caring streak for both her father and her friends.
Raquel has her mother's iron-willed spirit and resourceful attitude. But of course, her father's blood also coursing through her veins; such is evident with her tendency to smoke, swear and bear a grim determination towards her line of work.
But over all, Raquel Ariel Regis has a keen, collective mind that will never let herself or any of her allies down.
Notes:
Raquel was taught most of her fighting moves by Deyo. Like all "good" fighters, music psyches her up ie. Manson Guns'n'Roses, Rammstien.
Although it may be a little uncanny, Raquel considers all of the members of Team Crow as the "fathers that she never had".
Her best friend besides the slayers is Amberly, the prostitute.
Type: Saint Vincent Black Knight
Top Speed: 110 miles per hour
Shiva was remodled by a fellow slayer of Raquel's *Montoya* when Crow decided that Raquel was old enough to patrol by herself. Her body is fitted with black covering with the wheel guards painted a bright silver. A UV light sits on the front and back, so vampires on the road will be disabled should they be in Shiva's path. The handle bars curve in a little to allow less risk of hitting side obstacles. The seat upholstery is a black fake leather that can seat another passenger. On the control panel, a fuel, speedometer and a mileage gauge sit comfortably at the base of a cb that allows Raquel to keep in contact with the slayers. Next to the foot hold a small radio plays the Rolling Stones, Guns 'n' Roses, Nine Inch Nails, Garbage, Metallica, Limp Bizkit and The Smashing Pumpkins on maximum volume. On the side motor guard near the front, a red phoenix marks both Raquel's favourite colour and her never ending determination.
