Character Information

Background

Born Amelie Odile on September 10th, 2040, to a poor rural Haitian family, Amelie had a relatively normal sinless life, and grew up working; helping around the house to working under the table. As Amelie grew older, she sought to aim higher and gain more money for her family; A UCAS corporation was opening up a new branch in the neighboring island of Cuba, and at 14 she set off to try and make her way to Federated-Boeing due to a Zobop affiliated elder apparently having an in for some under the table work with the corporation, and he was happy to take her under his wing for a small fee of 500¥. Amelie worked hard for the next year and with scraping and saving, managed to collect the money. The truth was far from that simple; when Amelie arrived in Havana, she was locked in a small dark room. It took what felt like days, but eventually she was let out and the men who had taken her to Cuba explained how things were going to work from now on; she was to take the fake sin and commlink, and to work as a janitor at Federated-Boeing's new Havana plant. She would be fed once a day, and until she worked off her debt of 500,000¥, all of her paycheck would be surrendered to them. Trapped in a country she did not speak the language of, and seeing no other way out, she took the sin and commlink and went to work. The work was back breaking, Amelie required to pick up as much overtime as she was allowed, leaving her hungry and exhausted as she worked long shifts. This lasted for five years, the yearly interest usually setting Amelie further back into debt to the Zobop.

「It was a lonely night on September 9th, 2060 as Amelie looked to the clock. Her birthday was in mere hours, but she would not be celebrating--She did not have the heart to tell her Spanish speaking coworkers in her poor Spanish that she was 'celebrating' her birthday soon with more work, and that there was no celebration when she got home. If her Zobop lords were feeling generous, she would maybe get an extra piece of fruit with dinner. If she was lucky, it would be her favorite Guinep. Beginning her rounds slowly mopping across the tile floors, she badged in to the mana experiment area--At least, the area she was allowed. She never saw anyone working beyond the doors, simply the two guards who sat outside them, looking stoically bored. Greeting them, she began the lazy S shape mopping pattern required for this area. The area behind the doors began to light up with activity, shouting, alarms, and gunshots. The door ripped open and a beat of a man tore through the guards, leaving Amelie frozen in terror. She knew what he was as soon as she saw him, a soulless Sukuyan mad with hunger. The mop was hardly a weapon, but even shaky hands will make a weapon from anything, anything to keep the monster away. Shattering the plastic handle as if it was made of nothing and knocking Amelie down, the world fades away as the sharp pain of being bitten cascades into the flood of endorphins and the sounds of gunfire.」

Waking, in a Federated-Boeing hospital room, what had happened was.... Somewhat explained. Her canines grew, her body cooled, and her deep brown eyes becoming a honey orange color -- She was now a Sukuyan. Her soul was gone; she was dead. There was no more Amelie. She only had one choice now, and that was to join the Federated-Boeing family, and to do as they demanded of her. Her being a corporate runner was out of convenience to make use of her and to prevent the accident from leaking out and compromising Federated-Boeing's integrity as the corporation was just beginning to establish themselves in Havana. It was only years later she would learn the nature of the relationship of Federated-Boeing and the Zobop, who traded Sukuyan to the corporation for a pliable population of awakened to use as they saw fit. Kept drugged and constantly hungry, Iddure as she was christened lurked amongst the shadows, largely working to thwart the efforts of Ares who did not like the smaller corporation attempting to establish itself.

Iddure was not paid in nuyen, or corporate scrip, her payment was the ability to feed, and she quickly found it was easier to shut down and accept her fate than to argue. Once she was no longer needed to deal with the Ares threat, she was sent to Miami to continue to work for the corporate interests there. Eventually Iddure had acquired too much social wealth and power in Miami, even daring to have a home outside of Federated-Boeing approved housing, and there was a fear she would escape. Something had to be done with the corporate asset before it flew the nest.

The Iddure of Seattle only exists due to a chance meeting with Brodie J, several days deep in a bender deciding to crash his father's work function in true Brodie J fashion; sneaking in. Standing in a security hallway preparing to project when a drunk and high Brody J slithers out of a ventilation shaft. This causes the Sukuyan to panic, flagging the potential drunken intruder who seems more concerned with perfecting his 'taking off the mirror shades to reveal another pair of mirror shades' rizz than the awkward vampire looking to Tee and Vee for an explanation. The situation is diffused as between the twins answering her security communication and Brodie J continues to lay on the moves, instead asking to take her to the bar. Stuck in an incredibly awkward position, she complied, walking him to the bar and having several rounds of cocktails under the gaze of the twins, but most notably the withering gaze of Alexander-James Brodrick Johnson II, the corp kid's father.

This sealed the problem of what to do with the flight risk of a runner. Packing up the gilded cage and it's occupant, Iddure was shipped off from the warm nights of the Miami sprawl to the frigid nights of the Seattle sprawl. What could not been torn away from her home in Miami was the connections found in the shadows of the shadows, where those who ate the members of the shadows who wouldn't be missed gathered. From there, and with Brodie J, Iddure was able to scrape together the fragments of her reputation she had built elsewhere and put them towards her new home.

Why the Haven? Someone has to keep an eye on the 'shadowdudes'.

Narrative Significant Qualities

Views on Infected and Feeding

Iddure firmly believes that infected who do not acknowledge their monstrous nature, consumption of innocent metahumans or attempt to posit they retain their humanity are cowards and weak. Additionally, per her native Taino religious beliefs, she believes infection is a loss of a part of the soul that gives one their humanity (ti bon ange), leaving behind a corrupted body containing only the gros bon ange, missing the soul of their humanity and rendering infected soulless. Due to this, depictions of Taino zemi make her very uncomfortable, and extended exposure will cause emotional distress.

Due to the contractual arrangement of her employment, Iddure does not feed to sate herself or to gain excess essence without permission from her fixer or her handler, unless it is her first run of a contractual month (this can be withheld if she owes either contact chips). Iddure will feed if it is to prevent herself from going feral, but all feeding will occur on table of specifically terrified individuals. No other emotion will suffice, even when feral.
