Name: Astrid Laufeyson

Age: 17
(Three cycles removed from Mallory)

Gender: Female

Race: Kumakatok

Appearance:


Personality: Stubborn, craves adventure and freedom, lacks patience, fiercely loyal and protective, understanding of the grey areas of morality, individualistic centric view of the universe and its ways.

History: Growing up on the planet of Samlingssted, Astrid never knew her mother. As was common with the kumakatok females, her mother was a woman. She never knew for certain whether her mother was human or some other race, with her father and uncle quickly vanishing when she was small. They had left to fight in a war -- a peculiar station for a kumakatok -- and since Astrid was too small to understand, she remained in an orphanage. Growing up in the hub of a thriving galatic empire, Astrid was exposed to many different customs, picking up a variety of languages.

At the age of 12, a stranger came to adopt her from the orphanage. Already having trouble keeping her heritage a secret, she gladly took any chance of getting out of the orphanage. Her new family already knew about her race -- about her powers -- and encouraged her to turn into her true form whenever she pleased. In exchange for a roof over her head, she would run errands for them. They groomed her into an agent of fear for the mob, an organization thriving on the trafficking of people and illicit purchases throughout the galaxy.

At the age of 16, they informed Astrid that she was old enough to stand on her own. It was customary on Samlingssted for young people to move out at 16, beginning to train for the next phase of their life. At 19, they would be considered legal adults. And Astrid, rather than training to become an apprentice or continuing with her studies, fell back in with the mob. They paid her, and she was able to stay with the only family she ever had.

Name: Millicent Blair

Age: 16

Appearance:


Personality: Millicent loves laughter. Her ultimate goal is merely happiness, and she constantly seeks out something stable, something that she'll enjoy. Always on the look out for chances to make new friends, she's an incredibly helpful person, and takes a lot of pride in what she does. Prescribing a bit to utilitarianism ideology, she tries to do the very best she can do with the hand she's been dealt. She's positive and sees the good in others and situations, but not to the point that it's irritating.

However, she can groan and moan just like any other teenager, and despite the instability of her life, Millicent is a fairly happy person over all. She has a lot of confidence, but when it comes to breaking the rules, all of that confidence vanishes. She hates crowds and prefers more intimate, one-on-one company. Lastly, she's incredibly idealistic, still believing that she lives in a perfect world--even when it's anything but.

Biography: After the events of the Brexit, her family moved from Scotland to Australia, her parents severely upset with the outcome of the vote. Her father easily found a job in chemical engineering due to the large mineral refining industry in Australia, and her mother continued her attempt to write the next great American novel. The youngest of four children, Millicent is the only one yet to leave the home. Her eldest siblings, twins Ainslie and Bruce, each just graduated from college, being twenty-two years old. The twins nurtured interests in law and performance respectively. Millicent's only other sibling, a 20 year old boy named Neil, is serving a seven year sentence in Scottish prison for the possession of a class A drug (ecstasy).

With the upheaval of her family and her brother's imprisonment, Millicent has very little stability in her life. Millicent wants to become a psychologist, but largely, this is a reaction to her brother Neil's sentencing. Prior to that, she wanted to become a photographer, as she constantly goes through phases, uncertain as to what she wants to do.

She struggles slightly in school, mostly with math and science. The humanities are more what makes sense to her, but Millicent tends to make friends rather easily. She isn't ostracized, but she isn't the most popular person either. She's a fairly average kid, attempting to make things make sense.

Cunning * Conceited * Composed * Cruel

Sexuality: Bisexual
Relationship Status: Engaged
Personality: In a conventional sense, Meliscent is willing to do anything to achieve her ends. She is constantly plotting and strategizing, recognizing the impact of each and every decision. To her, life is merely a game of chess, and she happens to be setting her pieces in motion for checkmate. This attitude, feeling as if she controls the world, has caused her to become more and more self centered over the years. She cares about herself and hardly for anyone else, becoming increasingly cruel in punishments over the year.

However, she maintains her composure and grace, appearing as the proper queen she pretends to be. She does get her hands dirty, but doesn't allow it to taint her public image. Inspiring and persuasive, Meliscent manages to get people to rally behind her, no matter how twisted her ideals truly are. There is an alluring quality to her, the same attraction that some experience for the most twisted and dark characters in books and films. She is all darkness and evils, drawing innocent souls and corrupting them, using them, and throwing them away once done.

Opinions On the World Order Given that this order is of Meliscent's design, she's quite happy with it. She allowed the other houses to remain in order to give some illusion of free will, hope, and independence. A strong believer that the illusion of free will is the opiate of the masses, Meliscent is content with things to remain the way they are. She no longer has to hide in the shadows or beg on the streets for crumbs--she (and her house) are on top.

Family History
The Greys were a rather impoverished family, local to England. For generations, they were scholars hardly able to furnish much of a living, instead passing the debt on to the next generation to deal with. Overtime, this debt became exponential, and Meliscent's father jumped into Thames in order to avoid the debt collectors. Being the youngest daughter in the family, Meliscent had not yet been married off. All of her other siblings had arranged marriages, and at her mother's insistence, Meliscent took to the streets.

Character Specific History She earned more at night than her father had been able to do by day. She continued to work as a Lady of the Night, and one day, the famed Oscar Wilde was one of her customers. He solicited her services, asking her to accompany him to public events in order to quell any rumors that he was a homosexual. He called her the Lady Grey and wrote one of his most famous novels for her--The Picture of Dorian Gray. For one summer, Meliscent pretended to be his lover, and he gave her a large sum of money for her services.

Using the money, she paid off her family debt just two weeks before her mother died of illness. Destitute and once again penniless, Meliscent grew bitter and returned to the streets, only with a different occupation. She became a contract killer, seducing men and poisoning them. The Lady Grey was the name she went by in business dealings, and this was quite successful, until one of her targets forced her to drink his blood. Within hours, Meliscent had attacked a drifter and drained him of his blood, and began her career as a vampire.

She continued her work as a contract killer, finding that it provided her wealth and food. She remained in this capacity for decades, enrolling in a university once they were properly open to women. The Lady Grey became a myth among criminal circles, yet those who contacted her for her services were never disappointed. It was Meliscent who organized the vampires to rise up once their numbers became too large, and due to her craftiness, she successfully organized the revolution.

In the wars, Meliscent served as the Queen of the House of Grey--named after her, of course. Cunning and cruel, Meliscent has survived numerous attempts at overthrow, growing more and more powerful by the day. She currently is engaged, yet there is no love there. It is merely a political alliance, and in secret, Meliscent is plotting to have her fiance killed.

She doesn't have any room for love.
