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 creature drank of his blood and took something even more vital from him, and the bite that it inflicted was infected... when he awoke - physically and magically speaking - he had changed into something else.
After enduring a painful metamorphosis into a banshee himself, he left the nascent elfnostate his homeland was becoming and spent several decades aimlessly wandering Europe among the Irish Traveler and Romani people, feeding off the carnage and death left in the wake of the Euro Wars and seeking out a cure for his condition. As metahumanity began to learn more about HMHVV it became clear that a cure was not forthcoming, so 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 2060s he finally bit off more than he could chew when he attempted to settle the score with his sire and ended up falling into torpor for over 20 years, waking nearly two decades 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
- Infected (Banshee)
- It only takes one drop of HMHVV-infected blood to change one's life forever...
- Catlike + Double Jointed
- Very adept at getting into places, whether invited inside or not.
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.
- Computer Illiterate + Gremlins
- Sleeping through Crash 2.0 and the rise of Augmented Reality tends to leave one feeling a more than a bit behind the times with regards to technology.
