[@yoyohayli] I may change a few minor things yet, and I maaaaaay still make one more character just because I really want a straight up villain? Maybe Maybe not, but here are my two guys as it stands.


[hider=Beck]
Name or Nickname: Hannelore Beck
Sex and preferred gender: ♀
Species: human
Factional Alignment: explorer[indent]Beck is technically a slayer, but her goal isn’t killing; she likes to record supernatural history & culture and deliver justice. She’s basically a nerd that might shoot you.[/indent]Abilities: combat trained, proficient with guns
Strengths: steady under pressure, good listener
Weaknesses: stubborn, reticent, prone to isolation
Age: 22
Physical Description: Beck is an African-American woman with a neutral mocha complexion. Her shoulder length hair is styled in Senegalese twists. She wears simple rimless glasses. Beck has a small but somewhat short nose, full shapely lips, and heavy-lidded dark brown eyes. She has a slender, muscular figure; arms noticeably toned, bust slim, posterior taught, shoulders a bit on the broad side. She dresses a touch masculine out of her sheer utilitarianism, opting for baseball tees and mom jeans for everyday wear, but in more contentious situations may wear plain combat clothes and tactical rigs. She’s just about 5’7”
Alignment: chaotic good
Personality in a nutshell: To the average individual, Beck likely comes across as a militant conspiracy theorist with a lot of weaponry. However, for a homeless vigilante, it must be said that Beck acts remarkably sane. She’s very calm and kind, perhaps a bit bold. She’s very open about her interest in the supernatural, despite the consequence of being outcast in human society and a very visible target to violent vampires. She’s very independent, not fond of being helped by others, including well-intentioned researchers. Beck is exceptionally focused and studious, and committed to her self-appointed role as a vigilante and historian among the shadowy creatures of the world.
Any Important Backstory: Beck was raised by her parents and grandparents in a neighborhood of Boston. As a teenager she grew fascinated with all things supernatural, stalking the urban neighborhoods with friends at night in search of trouble; when she got older she found it, happening upon a small coven of new vampires feasting on the local homeless. As a young woman she joined the army, but received a medical discharge just after her second deployment for reasons she’s not been open about. Since then she’s been gallivanting around New England in an electric VW bus, breaking up covens and keeping extensive notes on lycanthropic and vampiric culture.
Her parents still live in the family home in Boston, somewhat worried about her nomadic lifestyle. They call her “Loree.”

[hider=Evren]
Name or Nickname: Evren
Sex and preferred gender: ♂
Species: vampire
Factional Alignment: the old hiders
[indent]Vampires like Evren are generally very old and secretive, living completely separate from human society.[/indent]Abilities: shape-shifting
[indent]Evren can transform into nearly anything, though there aren’t many forms he can hold for long. He can remain shifted as a humanoid indefinitely as long as he’s unhurt, while taking less human forms is much less sustainable; generally, the further from human a form is the harder it is to stay shifted, though he’s strong enough to hold most shapes for at least a few minutes. [/indent]Strengths: He heals quite quickly, even for a vampire, but only when in his true form.
Weaknesses: If hurt, Evren must take his vulnerable true form until he can heal.
Age: He’s not totally sure, but he’s at least 900 years old.
Physical Description: Evren’s true form hasn’t aged well, though few have seen it. His skin is tawny brown but uneven and spotted with age, but seems pallid as if lifeless despite it’s tone; it’s papery and wrinkled, clinging to his bony form. The sclera of his eyes are jet black while his irises and pupils are shocking crimson. His teeth are uneven and fanged, frighteningly large and often stained from when he last fed. His nails are long and yellowed, curled in towards his palm and sharp like an animals talons.
He doesn’t have a “usual” form, shifting his appearance frequently without sticking to any shape for very long.
Alignment: lawful Neutral
Personality in a nutshell: Melancholy hangs heavy on Evren’s shoulders. He’s very somber and can come across a bit cold at times, but he loves conversation and is quite protective of young people. His favorite thing in the world is ginger wine.
Any Important Backstory: Evren was born to a Romani family what is now Turkey nearly a thousand years ago. He spent most of his life living nomadically across Europe, and travelled to America with English Puritans to find some solitude in the wilderness. These days he mostly keeps to himself, feeding rarely and reading voraciously.
