The
demon Brimstone turned Lilith into the first vampire, giving her immortality at
a price. She birthed seven sons. All were born
vampires. As each son was born, Brimsone appeared and said, “He will do but he’s
not my chosen.” When Domi was born he said “This one I choose. He will do great
things. He is the reason I let you live.” She resented the bond she felt the
demon had for Domi so she resented Domi.
She caused a lot of terror in
the ancient world, but Domi set her up to fall. She fled to Egypt where she met
the evil Egyptian sorcerer and scientist Kamenwati. Rumors state that she died
sometime after that.

Name
Origin:
(Κίμων): Greek name, possibly
meaning "sleepy."
Carnivorous plant that sucks blood. a network of rope-like roots and
fibers. These
fibers were of a dark, nearly black hue, and were covered with a thick gum that
seemed to exude from some sort of pores. This gum was reportedly extremely
adhesive and had a foul, animal odor. grasping vines had left the skin of his
hands red and blistered. He also noticed to his amazement that the dog was
bloodstained and covered in spots that seemed puckered as if they had been
sucked. “The plant’s power of suction is contained within a number of
infinitesimal mouths or little suckers, which, ordinarily closed, open for the
reception of food. If the substance is animal, the blood is drawn off and the
carcass or refuse then dropped. A lump of raw meat being thrown to it, in the
short space of five minutes the blood will be thoroughly drunk off and the mass
thrown aside. Its voracity is almost beyond belief.”

for everything. He started with a power trip, but quickly felt very isolated. He
is a lesson on what happens when you lose control of mesmerizing. He created a whole
community without free will, under his control. This made him turn batty, crazy,
lonely, insane. Talks to himself all the time. Constantly second guesses himself
and thinks his dead friends are there and argues with them. Very tired.

Yacuruna (YAK-A-ROO-NA) The term is derived from the Quechua language, yaku ("water") and runa
("man").
The Yacuruna are an aquatic race that
originates from Croatoan. They found themselves relocated to the Amazon rain forest
to one of the mysterious black lagoons located there. They exist in a tribal
culture, preferring to remain isolated from other societies. They are ruled by Chief
Amauta. He has a shy princess named Api and a close advisor named Qawa.
They
are a society of warriors and farmers. They have used their natural strength and
sharp talons, as well as proficiency in tool making, to carve a whole labyrinth
of networking underground caves accessible from under the lagoon. They farm
various underwater vegetation for consumption, as well as live on the meat of
the various local fish life.
They
have domesticated crocodiles, and the warriors prefer to use black ones for
travel sometimes as well as to frighten oncoming threats. They have also
domesticated boa constrictors. This is due to their limited telepathy. They obviously
have their own language, but mostly communicate with their telepathy.
They
have the natural ability to heal others and themselves. They cast limited illusions
to protect themselves. Basically, creating a perception filter so others don’t
notice them and at times casting an illusion to appear physically different, hence
why the legends claim they have fur or backwards feet. Those illusions are to
scare away unwanted visitors.
They have wide
mouths full of razor sharp triangle teeth, wear loin cloths of seaweed and
shells, pierced fins and water proof tattoo marks. They can completely turn
their heads around to look backwards, like in the legend. Certain tattoos and piercings
mean certain things.
