Quote:
Name: Rebecca (Becca) Shane Dalton
Owner: p o p p e t ♥
I am: human
Hair: Long, light brown with natural blonde highlights, making it look brown in dim light and blonde in the sun.
Eyes: Sapphire blue with the same gold specks around her pupil like her brother has.
Height: 5'4"
Gender: Female
Sexual orientation: Straight
Birth date: September 12th
Place of birth: Phoenix, Arizona, though she moved with her parents to Portland, Oregon and then to Farefield, Mass.
Current Occupation: Becca runs Camp Bloodlake during the "off season". People can still go there to use the lake and other amenities and it still needs its upkeep and bills paid. Becca oversees those things.
Markings/tattoos: She doesn't have any tattoos but she has a birthmark on her right shoulder just above her shoulder blade. It's somewhat of a star or sun shape with seven or eight jagged points, fairly even.
Parents: Alive and married; Janice Dalton and Harold Dalton
Siblings: She has one brother who is ten months younger than her; Matthew Dalton
Relationship status: While Becca has had loads of boyfriends, moving on to a new one as soon as the last got boring, and they always get boring... She's currently single, having broken up with her last boyfriend in September, just after her birthday.
Style: Expensive and fashionable. Becca has a variety of clothes, but they're all perfect for Becca's complexion, complimenting her hair color and style as well as her eyes. She got her sense of style from her mom, who is a fashion designer. Even Becca's night wear is fashionable.
Special Skills: Becca was in ballet for twelve years, from the time she was 5 until she quit when she was 17. She has exceptional balance, poise and discipline because of it, and is limber thanks to it. And of course, she can dance. Being that her mother and father both had very important jobs that kept them away, Becca learned to cook at a young age. She's exceptional at it. She's also a whiz at math and science.
Dreams: Becca has always wanted to learn to play an instrument, maybe the piano or violin. She's also always wanted to learn French. Aside from that, Becca doesn't know what she wants to do with her life, which is why she's taken a break from college to help her parents in their new town. Becca picks things up easily and could probably do anything she put her mind to. Unfortunately, every time Becca learns something new, (or dates someone new) she feels like there's something missing, or like it's not quite the right fit. She feels like she's always searching for something just out of reach.
Short personality description: Rebecca is charming, sweet and funny, with just the right amount of sass and sarcasm. She's athletic and loves to be outdoors (too bad they moved to such a dreary place). She's great with children and animals as well as her peers who, like the creatures of the night, seem to be drawn to her charisma.
Short backstory: Becca recently moved to Farefield with her parents. She didn't have to, but felt they needed the extra help. Everyone, and sometimes places, have what's called an aura. (The distinctive atmosphere or quality that seems to surround and be generated by a person, thing, or place.) It just so happens that Becca has one of the brightest auras in the Western Hemisphere. She wouldn't have known, had it not been for her newest best friend, who apparently has witchy genes, or something.
Since Becca's arrival in Farfield, more people have been disappearing and dying. Some people believe it's her, that she's a vampire or something, and avoid her at all costs. The real reason, is that the ghouls of the night are drawn to Farefield naturally, but even more so are drawn to Becca's aura like bugs to light. It's said that when a vampire feeds, he's ingesting his victim/donors very aura. That it's the aura that defines their taste and the sustenance of the blood. In vampire terms, that makes Becca a powerhouse.
It's pretty ironic that everyone thinks she's some kind of monster. Though, Becca is inclined to believe in those sorts of things. After all, her aura has been growing stronger and stronger since puberty, and this wouldn't be the first time in her life she's drawn near the things that go bump in the night.
Other:
SPOILERXBecca is currently living with her parents, not sure yet if she plans to move back to her hometown or not. Their house is two story, and also has a basement as well as an attic. The attic might as well have been a third floor, as Becca's mom turned it into a work station for her clothing design shop. It has a large covered front porch with a wooden two person swing. The home is white. Becca's room is on the second floor. The home has all wooden floors and is large, in the shape of a short L, the longer section being on the backside. If you count the porch you could call it a square. The garage is separate from the house and the property is large, covered in many beautiful maple trees.
Here is an idea of where Becca lives:
(You can see Becca's room there on the second story.)
Becca wears this pendant. It's a real ruby with a real gold chain. It's a family heirloom and the key to undoing the vampire curse, or killing all vampires off entirely. It can't be touched by a vampire without severely injuring them. It can't be used without a particular grimoire's spells that only a witch can read and use or without the blood of the Dalton family. (So the blood of her parents, brother or herself.) Becca never takes the necklace off and if she does, she hides it in her room in a place no one would find it.

Quote:
Name: Kasimir
Owner: Kry
I am: Human
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Green
Height: 5'9
Gender: Male
Sexual orientation: Bi-sexual
Special abilities: His dexterity and agility seem to be a little above average for most humans.
Short personality description: Sometimes flirty, most things amuse him. Reckless. Speaks with a German accent, knows three languages, German, English and Lithuanian. (German being his native tongue)
Short backstory:When Kasimir was born, he was given over to the care of a very strict German-American orphanage. He stayed there until he was eighteen, that's when they kicked him out. Kasimir is 27 years old. He has traveled around a lot, and has now found his way into Farefield. Trying to make his way as a hapless thief.
Kasimir can often be found in the company of a certain pale skinned, silver haired male who may or may not be a vampire.
Other: He has scars on his back from rough treatment at the orphanage he grew up in, and a couple of stab wound scars on his abdomen.
Name: Alistair "Hiro" LeVon Deveraux
Owner: Kry
I am: Vampire
Hair: Silver
Eyes: Grey-blue
Height: 6'2
Gender: Male
Sexual orientation: Bi-sexual
Special abilities: All the things that come with being a vampire.
Short personality description: Kind and patient. More likely to help a human than eat them. Though he won't hesitate to kill anyone or anything if he feels the situation calls for such drastic actions. Does not like other vampires. Knows three languages, German, English and Lithuanian. (Lithuanian being his native tongue)
Short backstory: Alistair comes from a small Island that most have never heard of. He was the son of the ruling Lord, and heir to his seat...or would have been had he not been turned to a Vampire. Alistair is over 400 years old. I find myself often longing for my humanity. For hundreds of years he drifted along this word lamenting everything he has lost. He has grown tired of watching humans he befriend grow old and die...though it seems he can't rid himself of the company of a specific blonde, German human.

Quote:
Name: Nathaniel "Nate" Fletcher
Owner: Hidden Cupcake
I am: human
Hair: A deep sable color. Shortly cropped and thick, it has a natural bounce to it. It most often is left unkempt and his lack of a drive to maintain his hygiene often leaves it greasy and almost flat.
Eyes: A dark chocolate brown. His right eye has a small spot of blue in the iris.
Height: 5'6"
Gender: Male
Sexual orientation: Asexual, though he does appreciate romantic relationships.
Family:
Janet Fletcher - Mother - Deceased
Vincent Fletcher - Father - Deceased Unknown
Laurelei Fletcher - Grandmother - Deceased
Special abilities: Nate is remarkably perceptive, able to pick up on bold-faced lies easily.
Short personality description: Nate is quiet and reserved. Not being very social he doesn't tend to talk much with others. Under moments of physical danger or similar his personality seems to pull a 180; he becomes loud, animated, and violent. Brutally so. When he comes out of it he doesn't seem to recall his actions and is usually disoriented and suffering from a pounding headache afterwards. He can't stand dark places and is highly nyctophobic.
Short backstory: For much of his life Nate lived in Washington, living with his grandmother in her old house in the middle of the woods. His parents had died in a housefire when he was three years old, he himself found outside in the garden, unharmed and clutching a stuffed animal. They barely ever went into town, his grandmother a shut in and social pariah. Nate was blissfully unaware of the truth of his grandmother's isolation, unaware of the magic blood in his veins, his grandmother and father both witches. It wasn't until his grandmother died, the details of which are fuzzy and hard to grasp, and he inherited her things did he even hear of the town of Farefield.
The years went by and he moved from foster home to foster home, eventually ending up at Washington State University. In college he discovered a taste for film and started carrying a camera with him wherever he went. As time went on he had the terrible feeling of being followed, confiding in his roommate and best friend Louis. Louis suggested a camping trip during the summer break. It was during one of their hikes on this trip, when he got separated from Louis, did he encounter what has been watching him; a monster, twisted and terrible, taller than any man should ever be. Faceless. Hard to look at. He blacked out and woke up in the mental ward of the hospital about two months later, sitting in a chair in his room. It was later explained he had been found wandering the woods, mumbling nonsensically and clutching his bag. He had been entirely unresponsive for those two months. Louis didn't even remember the trip.
Over the weeks his grades slipped and he finally dropped out, moving out of the dorms and into an apartment. Louis went with him, getting a second job to help pay the rent. Going through his grandmother's things once more he comes across some old photos of his father and a house surrounded by tall and dark trees, a tall figure in the shadows of the trees, barely noticeable. On the back 'Farefield, MA 1971' was written in marker. After making a few calls he found the house was still in his family's name and he packed his bags and moved across the country, moving into his father's rickety old house in the middle of the woods.
After he moved in he was plagued with nightmares and he now relies on over the counter sleep pills to allow him some rest. Sightings of the creature from earlier have increased for him (though how many of these are hallucinations and how many are not is a mystery to him) and his memory has no longer become reliable. Locals and campers have said he's been walking around the camp site in the night and was even told he was digging at the roots of trees with his hands at the edge of the old cemetery. He only ever wanders into town now to do some grocery shopping, hit up his job at the diner, or browse the library and the old town archives, looking for any clue of the tall creature haunting him.
Other:
SPOILERXThis is his father's house. It's cold and large and falling apart. Many of the rooms are locked or boarded up. If one was to actually measure the inside and compare it to the outside, though, things might no add up about the old house in the middle of the woods...

Quote:
 
Name: Onyx Claire Nguyen
Owner: Sadrain
I am: Human (actually, a witch who has yet to discover her powers)
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Eyes: Piercing gray, like stone glistening with dew
Hair: Pitch black, soft and wispy, falling to the bottom of her shoulderblades. Often messy
Height: ~5'6"
Birthday: 3rd July
Parents: Father is deceased, mother has re-married and moved away
Siblings: Older brother and step-sister
Occupation: Self-acclaimed author, but basically jobless. Has managed to win few prizes in contests with short stories, however
Relationship status: Single. Has little dating experience, she has never really been in love. Although, recently someone attracted her attention...
Special abilities: Yet to be discovered, however since early childhood, she's been able to see things others can't - a dark shape that's gone after a blink or little creature scurrying off somewhere. Sometimes she sees things and people completely different as they are, for just a second. She writes it off to over-creative imagination, but sometimes it creeps her out. Her sometimes over-sensitive and compassionate nature spurs from fact she can sense emotions of others, although they would have to be quite strong
Short personality description: Rather guarded and reserved at first, she is shy of taking the first step in getting to know someone. Unless, her 'brakes' are off which is usually caused by one of following reasons: being tipsy, quite happy or sleepy. When she warms up to someone, it turns out Onyx is goofy girl who likes to laugh and joke, sometimes just not making sense. In fact, it seems that she attempts to maintain this happy attitude no matter what, as if she's afraid of giving into fears or sadness. At times, the girl's a bit torn between following main trends and being her own person. Very loyal and surprisingly trustworthy for someone who talks so much. On the impatient side, impulsive, but despite being slightly immature she manages to stay pleasant and even charismatic, as she's also quite sweet and caring to her dear ones
Likes & Dislikes: Onyx is a total cat person. Big or small, she adores them and feels like she has special connection to them. She generally likes all animals, but dogs are one thing that scare her deep down. However, lizards, snakes, spiders? No problem usually.
She loves to eat and drink, but as she enjoys jogging and bicycle riding just as much, it usually evens out. At times, Onyx jokes she is robot that works on coffee.
She doesn't like cemeteries much, won't go in one if there's a choice.
Likes music and finding funny stuff on Internet, playful arguments and teasing. Books, reading and writing is her passion. Not so keen on nicknames unless given by people she likes.
Enjoys tending to the small garden around her cottage, but usually grows plants and flowers that won't suffer too much if she neglects them some
Dreams: The only thing she really has her mind set on is writing. Other than that, she has close to none idea what she wants to do with her life. And even writing is not going so well, it feels as everything she writes is 2-dimension and cliche... She wants and at the same time dislikes idea of going to college or university, leaving this city. It's as if something ties her here and all can she do is sit in the fog and wait until it clears up to see the stars to shoot for
Style: She lives by idea: why spend more, if you can spend less? Or even better, create something yourself? Onyx has no problem buying cheap, although certainly pretty and romantic/girly clothing (sometimes even daring) and then making it all hers by sewing beads and patterns on it. In similar way, she creates jewelry
Special skills: The way she sews and beads, braids and makes the jewelry could be considered a talent even. She's a decent cook, would be even better if she wouldn't get distracted by things like sudden story idea or new bracelet design (good thing you can stop the crafting and sewing at nearly any time without ruining the whole outcome. Unlike food). Onyx is also very creative and imaginative, which isn't always a good thing as she lets her imagined scenarios scare sometimes
Short backstory: Onyx had a loving family. It was a tragedy when her father died in some accident at work (he worked at woodmill near Farefield) when she was just 11. Around her 16th birthday, her mother met a handsome tourist from other side of States who was into all kinds of spooky and magical things just like she was. Despite all the tantrums she threw, the two got married a year later and her mother moved away. Her brother was already off into his own life and that meant Onyx was left to live with her grandma who passed away year and half ago. Now, she regrets how she practically ruined her relationships with mom and doesn't like to talk about why she lives all alone. Onyx would like to patch her relationships up and her brother keeps urging her to do so, but there is something she can't quite get over...
Other: She has strange sleeping habits, stemming from fact she stays up so much either partying or at her PC. Night is her time of inspiration. Now that she has Rebecca as friend, it has gotten better, however - she has a reason to go out at daytime.
Has a black cat named Memow. Onyx loves her very, very much.
Determined to become a good writer, not because of money, but because of what her work could give to readers.
Tends to drink, not much, just enough to get tipsy, so her brakes go off. Holds liquor well.
When her grandmother died, she left the house and good deal of her money to Onyx which she is using rather carefully to live, until she writes that bestseller book
Her home, a little out of the way, closer to the woodsX |
Quote:
Name: Audrey Fontaine
Owner: Hidden Cupcake
I am: a werewolf
Hair: Dirty blonde down to her shoulders. Keeps it in a loose ponytail most if not all of the time.
Eyes: Light, grayish green
Height: 5'8"
Gender: Female
Sexual orientation: Pansexual
Special abilities: Audrey can change between her two forms at will and has even found a way to enter an 'in between' form that resembles a wolf on two legs. The snout is stunted, her ears are simply elongated on the side of her head, and possesses no tail.
Short personality description: Audrey is a psychopath. She has been known to torture people for fun. Being a lone wolf she has no familial attachments to any pack and has no intentions of ever doing so. She hates vampires with a burning passion, quick to stalk and kill any she feels she can overpower.
Short backstory: Audrey lived a fairly normal childhood. In high school she became much more violent, getting into fights. After a while she dropped out and ran away. During her drifting period she was bitten and eventually ran with a pack. Life seemed to stabilize for her and her violent tendencies faded.
Her life fell apart when her pack was killed, slaughtered by a coven of vampires aided by a powerful witch. She was lucky enough to avoid death, only escaping with a terrible wound across the bridge of her nose. It left a terrible scar, the blade forged from silver.
She watched from the shade of a bush as the vampires left with their spoils; teeth and skins. She would have wandered off were it not for the witch. She found her and, through strange magic, bound Audrey to her will. Years passed and Audrey learned many things from the witch. The most interesting was the tale of two amulets said to be able to wipe those bearing the curse of wolf or bat from the world.
She became transfixed and, when the witch finally died, made it her goal to track them down, killing whoever got in her way; witches, wolves, vampires, or man. As the years passed she learned also of the book containing the enchantments and spells for the pendants' use. She eventually caught wind of the family who held the pendant which dominated the vampire curse and she has been tracking the necklace ever since. Recent scentings have brought her to Farefield.
Other: Audrey lives on the streets or in whatever house she's....rented.

Quote:
Name: Aiden
Owner: PrincessKasumi
I am: Vampire
Hair: Honey Blonde
Eyes: His right eye is a deep blue color, almost bottomless as if it could suck you in. His left eye is almost a bright amber color, almost akin to the yellow eyes of a cat.
Height: Not quite 6'0"
Gender: Male
Sexual orientation: Straight
Special abilities: Aside from typical vampirical abilities he possesses are telekinesis and a small form of phasing (kinda like shadow cat from x-men) which he can't use often.
Short personality description: Bluntly honest, he more then likely whether you want him to or not WILL tell you what he is thinking and how he feels. He could be unpredictable may never know what he is going to do until he does it. And him being a vampire does increase his 'sneaky' factor. He loves the thrill of risks, you never quite know what will happen. There is a side he doesn't nuture or ever had a care to. Beneath his hard exterior is something few if any one ever gets to see...
Short backstory: Aiden has no true home, but he suppose Farefield would be his home seeing how long his been there. And he's been there a very long time. Time has long since lost it's meaning to him, the days, months, decades have all blended together. His life just seemed like one long day. Sometimes it was exciting, others.. it was quite the opposite. Aiden never stayed in one place for too long when he was younger, always looking for new places to terrorize as new vampire.. but as time went on he outgrew those fledgling desire, but not entirely.
Aiden was once a nobleman somewhere in the eastern hemisphere, somewhere perhaps in England. But that life is no longer relevant to him or anyone else. What matters is the now and what is to be.
How Aiden came upon obtaining a Dire Wolf as companion is nothing short of a mystery, he may have obtained the canine from a previous life, or as gift.. or perhaps payment in exchange for something he did. But it is certain that the wolf known as Sasha has been sited in graveyards standing or laying protectively around a crypt.
What made Aiden stay in Farefield, one cannot say. But what will make him stay for awhile longer is what is attracting his brethen and other such beast...
Other:
SPOILERXAiden has no permanent home. His hobbies? Hunting and drinking blood, oh wait.. drinking is a way of life. It's not a unsual occurance for a Vampire to have a pet, but in this case it highly unusually to have a wolf.
This is Aiden's house in the woods, out by Camp Bloodlake.
And this is the front door of the place:

Quote:
Name: Matthew James Dalton
Owner: p o p p e t ♥
I am: human
Hair: Light brown with natural blonde highlights , making it look brown in dim light and blonde in the sun.
Eyes: Hazel with specks of gold around the pupil
Height: 6'0"
Gender: Male
Sexual orientation: Straight
Short personality description: Matt is charming and charismatic. He's also headstrong and quick to stand up for himself but even more for those around him. He sees himself as a natural born leader, and defender, which he is. He's smart, even though he was known to slack off in school.
Short backstory: Matt has been living in an apartment in Portland, Oregon while he went to college. Recently he decided the school scene wasn't for him and came to Farefield to "visit" his parents and sister. He has no real plans to return home, but none to stay in this creepy little town either. He won't be surprised if he gets here to see his sister's life in some kind of turmoil, that's just Bec. At least he'll be here to help clean up her mess like old times. It could be fun. Besides, Matt is a family man, and he's really been unhappy living on his own.
Other: Matt is Becca's brother. He's ten months younger than her, though looks and acts more like the older sibling. When he smiles he has two deep little dimples on both sides of his face.

Quote:
Name: Peter Shakar (Pishacha)
Owner: BrotherOfDarkness
I am: Vampire origins unknown
Hair: grey
Age:appears in his sixties
Eyes: grey
Height: 5'10"
Gender: male
Sexual orientation: Not obvious
Special abilities: Has knowledge on lots of arcane, occult and holy items and history. Always knows something about history, and myths and legends.
It can be guessed that Peter is an old vampire, very old, but his origins are unclear. He so far appears to be able to communicate to a degree telepathically, although sometimes this can just be a suggestion rather than a clear voice and can shift himself into a mist to travel. He also has a reflection, but something is wrong with that reflection, but again is unclear quite what.
The most remarkable thing is that he appears to be immune to the effects of silver himself, although his spawn are not though have heightened resistance to normal weaknesses.
Short personality description: always calm and collected, seems to have a lot of patience, and never is seen raising his voice, he speaks in almost a whisper. Will often give a smile, but it is always stiff,and his eyes do not smile with his mouth, wether it is his old age is hard to tell.
Peter, walks with a very slight limp
Other: Peter has moved recently to Fairfield, and opened an antique store, people originally asked him why Farefield, as he must not get much trade. Peter explained many of his sales are sold over seas, and online by his assistants, that he has moved simply to get away from the stress and hustle and bustle of the busy towns and cities. He has mentioned that he has other investments abroad, but doesn't go into details.

Quote:
Name: Lilith "The Blood Countess" Von Blaise
Owner: PrincessKasumi
I am: First Born Vampire
Hair: Purple Black
Eyes: Crimson
Height: 5'8" without heels (heels are usually 4" to 5")
Gender: Female
Sexual orientation: Straight
Special abilities: Pyrokinesis/Electrokinesis and shape shifting in a crow (slightly larger but not too noticeable)
Short personality description: Neurotic, loyal, playful, Dissociative identity disorder (multiple personalities)
The other side of her has: Deceptive, Brutal, still loyal
Short back story: She was the first child brought unto this world by a/the original vampire Peter. Unlike her siblings who came after she was an old one. Lilith sported two completely different personalities, the only thing linking them was loyalty to her maker, and regrettably the rest of her kind. Both personalities do know of each other and what the other does, almost as if it is two souls in one body.
She was amused with one particular human, so much so she adopted her nickname for her own. It seemed fitting for her other side. For a really long time though she was with Peter before something cause them to part.. almost indefinitely. But she managed to come back some how, to search for him.
Other: She usually dwells in an abandon church, it was her latest conquest. Besides it seemed fitting for her to dwell inside of a church. Since she is the first the weakness of made vampires do not operate at full strength as they would if it was used against a normal vampire. And weakness are even more ineffective towards original vampires/towards the original vampire. She has a job as a Doctor in the local hospital.

Quote:
 
Name: Carnelian Alcander Nguyen
Owner: Sadrain
I am: Witch
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Eyes: Bright, intense sky blue
Hair: Pitch black, soft and wispy, nearly shoulder length and with tendency to be slightly (but not only) messy
Height: ~6', perhaps a bit taller
Birthday: 21st December
Parents: Father is deceased, mother has re-married and moved away
Siblings: Younger sister (Onyx Claire Nguyen), step-sister
Occupation: Librarian, freelance artist & photographer, a Gray Guard
Relationship status: Single. Has had an on-off relationships with someone, but it was never really settled (one way or another). Is generally too busy with work to be looking
Special abilities: Rather well-versed and strong in magic, has good control over his powers. Especially talented with item enchanting and all kinds of passive magic. Heightened intuition and attunement to outside magical sources (enhanced items, spell barriers of all sorts, magical beings are all noticed and correctly recognized/valued by him)
Short personality description: Just like his sister, seems cool and even defensive at first. But when people get to know him, they realize he isn't all that up-tight and arrogant as he may seem. In fact, he loves a good joke and laugh, although he rarely, if ever, just goofs out.
He is calm (in the sense, rarely anything throws him off balance) and content, but can have a bit of temper at times. Loyal and even protective, although in his own manner, and certainly trustworthy. Alcander can be just as determined as stubborn and that is a lot. Can be rather sweet and kind, no doubt that he is helpful.
Carnelian does not discriminate anyone and will treat everyone good (also all kinds of supernaturals), until they prove they do not deserve it. He does have a good dose of healthy distrust/caution, however, and observes everyone a lot, even those who seem to be absolutely 'safe'.
Tries to keep an open mind and is artistic, intelligent
Likes & Dislikes: Nature, animals, beautiful things in general, but does not make it his goal to own them.
Likes free time, peace and art, also drawing, taking photos, painting.
Hates to be out of the loop, defenseless, unprepared or vulnerable, but tries to control it.
Alcander enjoys music, books, a good meal (likes sweets more than a man normally would admit).
Having fun and unwinding is certainly something Carnelian would like to have more in his life, but avoids alcohol, coffee and other such things usually.
Actually likes using magic, enchanting items
Dreams: Although he would not openly admit it, most of his life he has spent studying and working hard to become what he is today. And the work is never over. Carnelian really would like to be able to take some time off, without any guilt, and live - take a break from his routine, draw and take photos at his leisure, relax with an entertaining book, not one for mastering language, some spell, or about how to deal with certain types of supernaturals. And perhaps even start serious relationships, although that is the most secret dream of all, one Alcander has doubts and concerns about. But he knows he cannot have a real break: every now and then, people need him, and what's more - one day his sister will need him
Style: Kind of laid back proper. He won't bother always having a tie on, but probably will wear dress shirt and pants, or perhaps black, straight jeans with seams down back and front of legs. Always has multiple silver items on him, like a cross (most likely, under the shirt), signet ring (left hand's pinky) and a silver stud in right ear with carnelian gem in it. Wears glasses. Has 'combat' outfit with light armor, steel capped boots and few more items of silver
Special skills: Martial arts. Has an excellent eye for all things beautiful, tends to carry camera and notebook with him most of the time. Alcander uses various weapons, old and new, proficiently. Knows multiple languages, including latin. Excellent time management skills. High stamina. Decent cook
Short backstory: Carnelian realized that he could do and see, sense more than other children very early. His mother was dismissive of it at first, but eventually accepted and let his grandmother educate him into witchcraft. The elderly lady soon realized the great potential and began shaping him into a Gray Guard.
He learned that from ancient times, his family had belonged to Gray Guards, a group of witches and select few other supernaturals (those individuals that did not have natural bias towards another group) who watched over the course of history and more importantly, other supernaturals while attempting to stay mostly neutral. They usually got involved only when things were going out of hand - mass murders, endangering of whole countries or species, but when they did, they quelled the disaster quickly and proficiently.
It was no easy task to be a Gray Guard, and knowing that, he accepted the responsibility, perhaps pressured by his mother's and grandmother's hopeful eyes. And although he was very responsible student, Carnelian's heart was never really into it, especially since he couldn't spend as much time with Onyx as he would like.
But it changed, just like his whole family's life was turned upside down when a something, perhaps werewolf or another creature, murdered his father. What made it even worse, Onyx was first to see the mangled body parts and blood, having run off ahead of him, and Alcander always wonders if she didn't see even more than that...
She changed after that, becoming more reclusive and seemed to delete the whole event out of her memory. However, lot of other memories disappeared, too, and her magical powers became suppressed. Any mention of magic made her cry and panic.
In the end, family decided to conceal the witchcraft from her as she obviously suffered when it was mentioned. They educated her half-secretly, providing her books about herbal medicine, fantasy literature and discussing that and more at length, teaching her Latin and so on. But it wasn't the same. Carnelian felt like he had lost his father and part of his sister that night. To compensate that in a way, and to make sure that it would not happen again, he then fully put his mind and heart into studies, working to become better and better Gray Guard
Other: Actually has a degree in Fine Arts, has taken courses for photography.
He has decent eyesight, glasses are not so much for actual eyesight than all other kinds of visual perception as they are enchanted. They also work as defense against some mind
controlling and affecting magics and tricks.
Any weapon he uses is enchanted to some extent, most of his items are
Loves Onyx from bottom of his heart and feels guilty about having to hide things from her, that he hasn't been by her side. Hopes to amend some of it now

Eyes: A light, stormy blue
Height: Just barely reaching 6'
Gender: Male
Sexual orientation: Bisexual
Family:
Janet Fletcher - Wife - Deceased

Laurelei Fletcher - Mother - Deceased
Special abilities: Vincent is a man of many talents, though he particularly enjoys taxidermy.
Short personality description: Vincent is gentle and kind, always smiling at strangers and willing to lend a hand if it's ever asked of him. He is not above cruelty though. He can go from kind and gentle to cruel and merciless within seconds all with a kind smile. He has a tendancy to obsess and become overly attached to people in his life. Family, especially by blood, is very important to him
Short backstory: Vincent was born near Farefield many years ago and spent most of his young life moving around with his mother, ignoring the dark shadow at the edge of his vision. His father was absent his whole life. He still doesn't know the man's name. They never stayed in any place for too long. What his mother did wouldn't allow them. Vincent's mother was a Woods-Witch, a terrible manifester of magic who used the fleeing life of many different creatures and their remains. His mother preferred to use children.
He eventually came into his own power, breaking off to work on his own while maintaining constant contact with his slightly overbearing mother. He eventually settled in Farefield, drawn in by the woods that whispered dark things in the night. He built his home and set about his life. He lived there for a long while, forming budding friendships and blending in near seamlessly. Until an incident exposed his nature to a local Gray Guard family, forcing him to flee.
He made his way across the country and settled again Washington. He met his wife, Janet, while he was staying over in a small town near the coast. They developed a strong relationship and married a few months later. Their only son, Nathaniel, was born half a year later. He adored his boy, spoiling him rotten. And he was intent to keep his mother away. He didn't trust her with him, recognizing the way she eyed him as the same way a hawk would eye a mouse. She already hated his wife.
The time between the fire and his waking up is a mystery to him, though how he survived never was. The time spent after, though, was filled with pain. And anger. He's spent the last 23 years fixing his burnt and broken body, using his magics to restore his skin and flesh. He has followed his son, the only blood he has left (a fact he made sure was true she was not allowed to have him), to Farefield, trailing just a step behind. He does his best to ignore the dark shadow near his old home.
