Age at time of Embrace: 26 years

Vampire since: 1939

How she feels about being a vampire: She loves it.

Job: Star of the show and Art Director of "Le Divan", Saint Paul's most reputed cabaret.

Ambitions : She wants needs to be the center of attention, be loved and adored by all.

Some personality traits: Extravagant, a very keen eye for everything art-related (easier when you've taken part in all the major art movements since the 40's), controlling, sometime ruthless, vengeful, seductive. There is more to her character, but I'm planning to let this unwrap a bit more during the sessions heheh

Pronouns: she/her

Job: part-time barmaid and part-time dancer

Some personality traits:

• Passionate, caring, ambitious (in the arts, anyway), loyal, observant/attentive;
• But also: overprotective, overly devoted (to some things/people), vengeful, fixated, a bit jealous about certain things and struggling to control emotions at times, and occasionnally a little manipulative if it helps protect those she loves (or achieve certain goals). >:3
• (Those can absolutely change if it’s too similar to what someone wants to play ^^)

Two of her ambitions:

1. To dance in the greatest musical acts there are (rise in the musical/dancing scene), in all types of dancing shows
2. To gain enough power and influence to achieve certain goals (hers or to support her loved ones’ goals - especially Sierra Wells's), discreetly. Be her friend, she will likely help you get what you want, so long it doesn't go against her ethics... whatever those may become with time.

How long she's been a vampire: about 3 years (between 2 and 5), she's basically still a fledgling. 

How she feels about being a vampire: she sees pros and cons about it, though globally she's fine with it.

• Some pros:
  • Added dexterity and physical traits that can help her keep living her passion for dancing all types of dances, for a very long time.
  • More strength (and other powers) to protect certain people.
  • A part of her enjoys the perceived ability to entice, persuade, and intimidate those who would stand in her way. The feeling of having some control and being more powerful in those ways than before. Whether she actually manages to use those powers or not, and could overuse them when losing control of her emotions for example :)
  • Gets to spend more years (in theory, anyway) with her girlfriend Sierra Wells, and is excited to be more able to help her in vampiric society now.

• Some cons:
  • Worried about outliving the mortals she loves (her family, her best friend), in time.
  • She misses the sunset and partaking in some of the day life in the world.
  • Doesn't get to be a part of artistic/dance shows that take place during daytime.
  • Although very loyal and fairly obediant, she doesn't want to be restricted in her personal goals and sense of freedom by vampiric rules, should they ever get in the way.
  • More challenging to continue her hobby of mixology, given that she can't drink anything but blood now.
  • The Hunger sucks :>

*Other stuff, for fun (can obviously be edited as the story progresses :D):

• She's Scottish, her family immigrated to the USA when she was a teenager. She went back to Scotland for a bit for dancing courses as a young adult following high school, before moving back to Minneapolis/St Paul to study dancing further and to be closer to her parents and her twin brother Caleb who still lived there.
• She took up an interest in mixology while back in Scotland and working in bars part-time, and has kept that up in the USA.
• People she feels close to get to call her "Nora". If she tells someone who called her Nora: "It's Eleanora.", they're not in a closer circle of trust for her. Only people she likes and trusts enough get to shorten her name.
• She supports charities and associations that help women & queer people.

How he feels about being a vampire : he hates being a vampire
Job : works as a security guard of the Abbott Northwestern in the surveillance room

Personality traits :

detached from everything, tendency to procrastinate but always ends up getting the job done. Has no purpose in life. Can sometimes help people around him or completely ignore them in a whim because deep down he believes it won't change much anyway. He tries not to attract too much attention to himself. Kinda susceptible especially about his name.

Age at time of Embrace: 17 years

How she feels about being a vampire: It has its pros and cons, but so far, she’s enjoying this exciting world of darkness

Job: Travel vlogger/influencer (depending on which era the setting is)

Ambitions (still in process): Become an established or leading figure in the criminal underworld

Some personality traits: open, ambitious, gregarious, and loyal; she can also be arrogant (ah youth), easily bored/impatient and a bit thoughtless (why think about the consequences when you can just not?).

Odile Starling était autrefois une espionne douée. Elle excellait dans le fait de se fondre dans différents environnements, d'adopter différentes identités et de recueillir des informations pour ses employeurs. Sa vie a pris un tournant sombre lorsqu'elle a été étreinte par son sire Tzimisce Sascha Vykos, un aîné manipulateur du clan.

Le sire d'Odile a vu un potentiel en sa capacité unique à infiltrer et à s'adapter à diverses situations. Croyant qu'elle pourrait être un atout précieux dans la guerre contre le Sabbat, il l'a formée aux voies du clan Tzimisce. Il utilise également sa connaissance du sang pour tenter de la rendre immunisée au Vinculum, s'assurant ainsi qu'elle puisse opérer indépendamment au sein du Sabbat sans tomber sous leur emprise.

Le charge choisie d'Odile est un refuge pour elle et son réseau secret de contacts et d'informateurs. Ces contacts sont répartis dans diverses organisations, de la pègre criminelle au conseil d'administration d'entreprises. Ils sont liés à elle grâce à des faveurs, comme l'accès à son refuge. Ce réseau lui fournit un flux constant d'informations et d'influence.
