[img]http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb396/rubixon/val.jpg[/img] [b]Name:[/b] Eva [b]Age:[/b] 300+ [b]Clan:[/b] 6th Generation Toreador [b]Bio:[/b] South American in origin, how she came to be in the valley that would become Los Angeles remains a mystery to everyone but Eva, and the Kid. She has in the past admitted remembering traveling with Eurpoean explorers, and admitting her given name is not Eva, simply one she gave herself many many many years ago. Even her role in the Los Angeles night is something of a hazy bit of history; she was around during the very first group of Kindred to take up in the area, when the City of Angels was little more than a remote rancho. The Kid began the idea of Los Angeles with Eva's help, and produced the first Prince from well behind the scenes where none would see him. But as the first Prince gave way to the worst of impulses and temptations, Eva was forced public for damage control. That has remained her role. The Kid and Eva have remained the guiding force that brought Los Angeles to creation, and when that left their artistic desires feeling unsated, they began the dream of what would become Hollywood. Her role as co-founder has cemented her status in the city, and in Hollywood, for the vast majority of the history of both no more than a rumor, a mantle to be passed down and taken up. Few have ever known it was all one woman, fewer still know her connection to the Kid. The Camarilla's rise, and fall, within Southern California has happened under her watch--unbeknownst to the Camarilla itself. The Kid and she more than willing to let people like MacNeil, and Smiling Jack, take credit for the Anarch Free State. Current events have forced Eva into the open like never before, many around the Free State shocked to find such a powerful Elder simply stepping out from the shadows...though perhaps the truly wise have always suspected there was something more going bump in the L.A. night beyond what was known. If Eva has one overwhelming talent, it's her ability to make common cause, even friends, with elements of the world and it's supernatural that other Kindred would never be able to. Anarch, Camarilla, Sabbot, Garou, Mage, etc, Eva has ties to all. Some ties that go back centuries, sometimes directly, sometimes through intermediaries. A good example of this is her Coterie; a mix of Kindred clans that have lived and worked together for nearly a century, many longer than that. Few know each member of the Coterie links back to Eva, each member often seen as L.A. power players in their own right. This has begun to change, even going so far as to recently be seen in public as a group for the first time in the history of the City of Angels. The message clear: take heed, the one true Baron of the Free State and her court have emerged.

[i](both Bloods and Crips are under his command whether they know it or not)[/i] and originally from South Central L.A. He appears in my last post. His main role is enforcement and protection. You do not want a visit from Andre. [hr] [img]http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb396/rubixon/gwen_zps3xuyuyo0.jpg[/img] [b]Gwen[/b], 7th Generation Toreador, a vivacious busty blonde, tall and leggy and full of "life"--so to speak. Her main role is helping control Hollywood and it's talent. Originally a struggling actress/model. Sired by Eva. Andre's lover. Was seen in my last post. Gwen is the heart and soul of the Coterie, everyone's little sister. [hr] [img]http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb396/rubixon/miranda_zps24788902.jpg[/img] [b]Rachel[/b], 8th Generation Ventrue, a small Jewish girl and former Camarilla gone rogue, found a home with Eva's Coterie. She handles buisness of many various extensions, and is a lawyer by training. Originally from Europe, fled to the US shortly before World War II and the Kindred drama that happened behind it's scenes. Was seen in my last post. [hr] [img]http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb396/rubixon/matteo_zpsae17128f.jpg[/img] [b]Mateo[/b], 9th Generation Lasombra, chubby Native American with light skin, and jet black long hair. Very lowkey, very low drama, his role is mostly intelligence from Sabbat contacts. Matty-O, as he is sometimes called to his mild irritation, has the ability to get along with every single other member of the Coterie--even Nathaniel. Was seen in my last post. [hr] [img]http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb396/rubixon/huga_zps9cda4e69.jpg[/img] [b]Nathaniel[/b], 8th Generation Nosferatu, pale and classic Nosferatu in appearance. His role is information gathering, and he is one of the best in town at it. Only Eva knows what he was in a past life, and she's agreed to keep his secrets. Did not appear in my last post, location unknown. Nathaniel even keeps most the Coterie at a distance, except when Eva tugs him close.

Sired by Eva, her role is Eva's right hand. Born in California before it was California, the result of passion between one of the first groups of Spanish in the territory and a native. Appeared in the opener post for the RP, but not in the last post. [/hider] [hider=Eva and Coterie Havens] [b]Catalina Island[/b] [center][img]http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb396/rubixon/island_zpscopildxl.jpg[/img][/center] A small island just a short helicopter/yacht/ferry trip from L.A. A playground for the wealthy, and Eva's main haven. The island houses a healthy amount of with her security personnel, trained and overseen by Andre. Most look like PMC types, unlike the street gang types that most think of when they imagine Andre's forces. Eva has little birds everywhere on the island, and is extremely territorial when other Kindred attempt to make the island their home--funny how cliquish and closed off the island's real estate market is.

The same PMC security types are present on this sprawling, super modern estate overlooking the City of Angels. It's easy to lose people in the canyon roads of the Hills, even people who have lived in Los Angeles their entire lives, making it near impossible to track any of the Coterie to this location, especially considering the wooded areas around, or the subterranean tunnels that lead to it's basements and subbasements.
