Alex Ashe
Alex Ashe
Age: 17
Race: human
Height & Weight: 5’8, 130 pounds
Description: Alex has long brown hair and brown eyes that are world weary and old beyond her years. She is physically fit, well muscled, and has a leanness that comes from keeping hunger as a constant companion. She dresses like a bad girl, tending to give off a fast/easy air. Her wardrobe is composed primarily of black leather pants, tank tops, and Doc Martins. She has a beat up old leather trench, and wears a large silver ankh around her neck and a belt of interlinked ankhs around her waist.
Personality: Alex has a tough exterior and likes to pretend that she doesn't give a damn about anyone but the reality is that she possesses a good heart underneath the layers if you can reach her. She's stubborn, cynical, and does not easily trust. She's a born rebel and distrusts authority figures.
Brief History:
Alex grew up in Los Angeles with her mother and her sister, Amanda, "Mandy". Her mother supported her daughters at a subsistence level, working as a prostitute by night/waitress by day. Alex and Mandy had different fathers and the constant procession of men through her mother's bed left Alex with a sour view of opposite sex.
Alex always did her best to take on the role of protector for her younger sister. She succeeded fairly well until her sixteenth birthday. Her mother had the misfortune of attracting the attention of a vampire, a member of a local fang gang, that turned her into a blood doll and coffin bait. The vampire developed an interest in Alex and Mandy. Both girls were teenagers and 'ripe for the taking'. Their mother attempted to protect her daughters and was killed as a result. The arrival of the police forced the vampire to flee, and Alex grabbed her young sister and ran rather than stick around for his return come sundown.
The girls hid on the streets for several weeks but eventually the vampire's gang caught up with Mandy. They raped and murdered the girl, leaving her body to be found in an alley. Because her death was caused by multiple bites, she did not rise as a vampire three nights later. For Alex, it was a turning point as the thirst for vengeance overtook her survival instincts. She had nothing left to live for and undertook a bloodthirsty hunt that resulted in the deaths of all six gang members. During this hunt, Alex discovered her gift, immunity to mind control/tricks.
The death of the last vampire has left her confused and lost. Her focus is unclear and her purpose in life, the driving force that has guided her entire existence for the last year of life, is gone. Seeking to leave memories and her past behind, Alex left LA as a hitch hiker on a semi and has been running ever since. She rarely stops in one place more than a few weeks, afraid that if she stays still her past will catch up with her.
Strengths:
Alex is True Neutral. That is, she is immune to all forms of mind control, tricks, illusions, glamours, etc. She is also proficient with knives, chains, guns and unarmed combat. She is very up on vampire lore and has a talent for tracking and staking them. Alex wears silver blessed Ankhs and follows the Egyptian goddess Bast, Guardian and Protector of Children.
Weaknesses:
Alex is human. She is distrustful and wary, especially of men, and hates/fears vampires. She has a soft spot for children and cats and is likely to come to the assistance of either in distress in spite of her personal reluctance to get involved with anyone.
Faye Kobold
Name: Faye Kobold
Appears: ageless, older than 17 and younger than sixty
Race: Faerie
Height & Weight: 5’5 and 120 pounds
Physical Description: Faye uses glamour to hide some of his more…startling
features, but he’s eye catching no matter the race. Deeply tanned, the
bleach-white crewcut stands out. He’s got a near-perfect scar that forms a
crescent from the very edge of his left eye down most of his cheek. Blue
eyes are slanted almost Asian-like, but there’s no other hint of tainted
blood. Although short, Faye is he’s properly proportioned. He’s compact
with potential, but not really muscular.
There’s nothing more enjoyable to wear than leather, but the whole black
punk image is below him. He prefers his is various shades of green and
blue. His shirts are full-length no matter the heat and goes over his
elbow-length gloves. If the weather is extreme enough to induce a coat it’s
a full-length duster.
Personality Traits: Faye thinks very much in the Now and is self-centered.
He can hold a grudge for however long it takes to assuage his wounded pride
and can be a best friend right up until he stabs you. Untrusting of women,
but still holds to old ways he gives them boundless respect and occasionally
protection. Nothing is more wanted than a challenge. After all this time
he’s something of an adrenaline addict. Loyalty and word of honor are
sacred and to break either, for him, is not even thought of. Faye’s cocky
and arrogant, but whether he likes it or not, he’s slowly becoming more
human in his manners. He’s been special and magical all his life. He’ll
never admit to it, but to just be normal is what he wants.
Brief History: He was never much one for Faerie communities. He’s been
traveling the human world for generations and never fails to be enraptured
with it. Particularly with music. He’s playing the part of traveling
musician for a while now and enjoys the persona. He’s only had a traveling
companion once. Vivaleta died shortly after he came to America of fever.
He's made himself useful from time to time with his abilities.
Strengths and Weaknesses: Faye is slightly telepathic. The stronger other’s
emotions and how familiar you are makes it easier for him to ‘read’, but
only works in a fifteen feet radius if he concentrates on it. Unfortunately
he also tends to gently broadcast his own emotions and seems quite readable
to others unless he again concentrates. He’s a seer. The closer it is in
time and place the more detailed and understandable the flash is however,
his memory of the past and of the present are pretty sketchy. His glamour
is marginally stronger than other Fey, but not by much. The price for all
his special talents is just as high. He’s not only fatally allergic to iron
and steel, but also most of the metal mixtures, such as aluminum and copper.
Silver and gold are the only metals he can stand. He also has a high regard
of honor, which brings more trouble than anything else does.
Name: Crevan Glaleanna
Age: 54, Apparant Age is 25
Race: Faerie-Sidhe/Something else
Height & Wight: 5'8", 143 lbs.
Physical Description:
Crevan is of a slightly dark skinned complextion. When he isn't hiding his features with glamor, his eyes has the triple color of the Sidhe, gold, goldenbrown, then brown, but with a slitted pupil of a beast instead of the normal dot. Long dark brown hair goes past his shoulders, neat but still seeming something like a mane. His ears are pointed, a bit rough-looking rather than a delicate nature. When not supressing it, his skin seems to glow a golden hue underneath. He has the delicate look typical for a Sidhe. Usually wearing some casual slacks, a dress shirt and jacket of varying colors, depending on his current mood. With what abilities he has to use glamor, he usually hides his eyes as a dark brown, his ears of the normal mortal's and hides the glow of his skin.
Personality Traits:
Crevan isn't human, and doesn't think like one. He usually lives in the now and doesn't much care for the people around him. Annoyances that can be tolerated. Still, he does make friends, and those that he does he'll fight for. Usually an 'all or nothing' kind of guy.
Brief History:
Crevan is a halfling. Born of Sidhe blood and of something else. No one knows who his father is, excepting his mother, but she is telling no one. Whatever it was, it wasn't mortal, as no mortal blood flows in Crevan's veins. 'It' is definately the best term for Crevan's father, judging from some of the traces of otherness in Crevan's looks. Crevan's mother was well known for her willingness to bed anyone or anything, and so her conception of Crevan didn't leave others of the Queen of Air and Darkness' court.
Crevan was met with some angst among the court, but none could begrudge him of his being there as his mother was of one of the highborns and the practices of the Unseelie. Still others with purer blood treated him with scorn. Crevan learned how to weild a sword amazingly quick, a flash of steel to meet the flash of his temper. Still, those of the court had decades and centuries to hone their skills, and when challengers arose, Crevan lost his battles more than he won them.
Until of his 23rd year, his Hand of Power was discovered in one of these duels. In vicious rage, Crevan became a wolf and ripped out the throat of his opponent. Fortunately, for his opponent, he was immortal and the wound did not kill him. Crevan mastered his Hand of the Bestial Self through several other challenges, winning each and every one of them, though he was bloodied in some.
Due to the immortal blood that flows in Crevan's veins, he can't be killed by normal means. And his age has apparently stilled to a halt on his twenty-fifth year of life. Many years go by, Crevan becoming more and more recluse to the politics of the court. His duels become less and less as those he fights meet more and more ruthless ends. Until finally, Crevan leaves the court to travel America abroad. He spends months and years moving from city to city. He discovered that cold iron has a tendacy to drain him and limits his use of his Hand of Power.
These days, he disdains the use of weapons in preference to a form of his likings claws and fangs. He has learned to give no quarter in combat and fights viciously, usually ending the battle covered in blood. Through his travels he's met various kinds of supernatural creatures. Lycanthropes, other Fae and Vampires mainly. Lycanthropes he seems to come to an understanding with more often than not, and particularly dislikes vampires. Now, he has travelled to Xandi, determined to explore the town as much as he pleases and move on if he dislikes the place.
Strengths & Weaknesses:
He has the usual abilities of the Sidhe. He is stronger, tougher and faster than any mortal. The benefits of immortality giving him fast recuperation against wounds, excepting those inflicted by Cold Iron. Slightly skilled in using glamor to hide himself, which he mostly uses to hide his unhuman features. He can force his wishes on those of weaker wills, unless they are protected. Though his commands need to be simple and not conflict with a persons inner nature. Still, Cold Iron weakens him and he is extremely uncomfortable in a car or in the presence of mass quantities of the Dread Metal. Crevan only has one hand of power. And its a strong one. He claims the Hand of the Bestial Self, the power to change his shape into any animal, living and imaginal, excluding insects. There are some limitations to this ability. Bigger shapes than himself are harder to take on, and require more energy on his part. Cold Iron also limits his abilities, requiring more and more energy to take more fantastical shapes in the presence of it. When he no longer has the energy to sustain the form, he reverts to his humaniod shape. Unfortunately, his greatest power is also his greatest source of fear. The longer he stays in an animal shape, the more and more his mind turns toward that animals. Two days is about the longest he can hold a shape without fear of losing his mind. If he becomes lost, he'll lose the memory to change back. By then the only thing that could save him is if someone either brings him back to his self, or forces him to change his shape.
Crevan's ability at hiding with glamour are marginal compared to most
Sidhe. He can mostly only keep his most prominent features (ears, eyes)
hidden, and his power can only be hidden down to the level of a bit more
than human average. The more emotional he gets though, the more his
control slips. He'd inadvertently reveal himself if he gets real angry.
The signature of his power is warm, (kinda like a lycanthropes), with an
old taste to it, not stale though, and has a wild kind of flow to it.
