Character Information
Summary
A horrible person who shouldn't be allowed to continue to live, but who does so anyway because the Sixth World is a terribly unfair place.
Goals
- Feast on a steady supply of metahuman blood/fear/souls.
- Find somewhere to live that isn't a filthy trailer in an ethnic slum.
- Face the Dweller at the Threshold after nearly 60 years of being a mage.
Background
Born in Belfast in 2012. One of the first nocturna, he was abandoned and disowned by his family as a freak; while growing up in an orphanage lead to constant ostracism and a lifelong antipathy towards people in general, he was lucky enough to survive the aftermath of the Black Tide and VITAS, as well as the chaos following the Awakening and the Irish Reformation, when most of those around him did not. In 2033 he was living on the streets of Dublin when he was was stalked and attacked by a banshee - the sheer terror of it all caused him to Awaken, and he managed to destroy the monster with fire and lightning, but not before it had drank of his blood and taken something vital from him, and then scratch it inflicted got infected...
After enduring a painful metamorphosis into a cannibalistic horror that subsists on blood, fear and innocent souls, he left the nascent elfnostate his homeland was becoming and spent several decades aimlessly wandering Europe, feeding off the carnage and death left in the wake of the Euro Wars and seeking after a cure for the condition. As people began to learn more about HMHVV and it became increasingly clear that a cure was not forthcoming, he had no choice but to slowly accept himself as the monster he had become, eventually beginning to see himself as a cut above mundane metahumanity and even other Awakened and Infected.
Eventually in the early 2050s he finally bit off more than he could chew with a particularly-stubborn vampire hunter and went into torpor for over 20 years, waking nearly a decade after Crash 2.0 to an entirely new world. The virus had mutated while he slept, and his hunger had grown into something primal and savage. The political landscape of the continent had changed as well, and all of his old contacts were either dead or out of reach, so he decided a change of scenery was in order. Moving to North America, he stayed for a while in Tír Tairngire but found it was not to his liking, so he spent the last of his savings getting himself smuggled north to the Seattle Metroplex with little more than the clothes on his back.
Narrative Significant Qualities
Positive
- Exceptional Attribute (Charisma)
- A magnetic personality and a clearly-supernatural degree of personal charm belie the cunning, ruthless predator that hides just beneath the surface.
- Infected (Banshee)
- It only takes one drop of HMHVV-infected blood to change one's life forever...
Negative
- Antipathy + Superhuman Psychosis
- A lifelong resentment of "normal" people only festered into hatred and loathing after becoming something apart from the common rabble of metahumanity.
- Paranoia
- It's only paranoia if everyone isn't actually out to get you...
