ANTHONY FORESIGHT


 

ANTHONY FORESIGHT

Personality:

Friendly, kind and determined to help others if needed. He always encouraged his children in any endeavor and was willing to take any challenge on.

 Known History:

Anthony grew up in London, England. He was apprenticed as a bookbinder at age fourteen, became a journeyman at age nineteen, and a master at twenty-two. He met his wife Glorianna during the great London Fire of 1666. They struggled together to rebuild their lives. He built up a successful bookbinding business on Threadneedle Street. They had two children, Roland and Annabelle.

Anthony and Glorianna did something unheard of, they taught their children to read. It was his hope that Roland would one day take over the business, but Roland never could get interested in books or staying still inside. Annabelle, however, loved the business and learned a great deal, even reading all the books that came through her father's shop.

Everything changed when a strange woman dressed in black visited the Foresights, and convinced Anthony to sell his business, buy property in the American colonies and move his family to Jorgantown, Massachusetts.

Shortly after their arrival the Foresights met Eliza Pratchet. Anthony stood up for her against some rough men. For some unknown reason, Eliza fled into the woods and when Roland followed, Anthony gave chase. Soon the entire family were trapped in the dark wood, surrounded by wolves. They met Dominic Pratchet (Dracula), the rightful owner of the land Anthony was sold. Dominic killed Anthony and his wife Glorianna.

Annabelle and Roland would forever remember their parents love and devotion. They strive every night to live their undead lives in honor of their parents.

WILDES BLUT TEIR


 

WILDES BLUT TEIR

Other names:

Wildes, slobber-puss, Wild Man, Blood Man, Wild Blood Man, Wild Blood Beast.
Wildes Blut Teir means "Wild Blood Beast" in German. When he met Roland Foresight for the first time, Fenroth mis-translated the name as "Wild Blood Man" due to his faulty German.
Physical characteristics:
Dressed in rags, smelly from his lack of hygiene, Wildes is unmistakable. He has a small iron cage around his head with a small trap door to allow his mouth to stick out and bite his victims. Most time the door is closed and only opened when his master allows it. There is an iron chain that drags from the back of the cage which allows Fenroth to restrain Wildes. He has crazy long hair that goes every which way.
Personality:
Insane. He is absolutely crazy. This vampire has more in common with a wild animal than a human. He eats, walks and behaves in every way like a savage. While on the hunt he lets out a primal scream/laugh which strikes terror in the souls of his intended victims.
Abilities:
He has the standard vampire abilities. This means he’s faster and stronger than humans, his senses are extremely acute as are his reflexes. However, he cannot fly or transform. He cannot mesmerize others either. He cannot communicate with animals.
His tracking skills are stronger than most vampires and werewolves. His senses are stronger and more acute, allowing him to sense other vampires, creatures, humans and animals for miles around. He is second to his master, Fenroth. He can jump higher than most vampires and his brute savageness allows him to constantly hone his strength and agility. He is more agile than most vampires, including his master, Fenroth.

His saliva has so much bacteria that it causes severe blood poisoning, and a strange bubbling of the skin. Any lesser creature would be instantly killed. Vampires, werewolves and most other magically based creatures are incapacitated for days. While vampires normally heal their bacteria, Wildes’ vampiric nature has allowed the bacteria to evolve.
Known History:
No one knows how old Wildes is or when he was turned into a vampire. The master tracker vampire known as Fenroth heard reports of a wild man that feasted on blood in the Black Forest of Germany. The locals called him Wildes Blut Teir for wild blood beast. Fenroth successfully captured Wildes after a vicious battle. Fenroth earned Wildes' respect when he lasted through the battle. Wildes Blut Teir would follow Fenroth anywhere because he knows it means a constant hunt followed by a tasty meal.

In 1482, at age 16, Esmeralda was falsely sentenced to hang for witchcraft. Roxana Dawn was tasked with bringing Quasimodo, the Hunchback of Notre Dame into Dracula’s fold. She saw how he loved Esmeralda, so she swapped the girl with another who hung instead. She turned Esmeralda and while the girl transformed, Roxana convinced Quasimodo that the only way he could be with Esmeralda is if he became a vampire as well.

 Quasimodo rebelled, fought off Roxana and escaped with Esmeralda. She changed her name once more to Laila because she was ‘born during the night’. Laila made it her life’s mission to help the lost and downtrodden. She helped many of her fellow Roma people, as well as many lost vampires who didn’t want to be vampires are didn’t know what to do with their new life.

QUASIMODO


 

QUASIMODO

Description:

He has a large misshapen head, heavy shoulders, his upper back stood up impossibly above his head. The left side of his face was swollen. His puffy lips turned downward, as did his left eye. It remained closed. His right eye, almost twice the size of the left, had a dull, yellow pupil at its center with a slight trace of crimson. Only a small lump of flesh protruded where his left ear should’ve been. An incredible hunch rose, and his massive shoulders seemed to be extensions of the large mound. By contrast to his upper body, his lower half—including his legs—seemed almost normal, although a bit on the thin side. Has massive arms that extended from his oversized upper torso. Thick as logs, the arms resembled a gorilla’s. He shifted his massive weight on his arms, also like a gorilla would.

 

Vampirism has advanced Quasimodo’s mind, making him incredibly intelligent. He is well read, brilliant and has a huge heart. Loyal to the Order, the Mullo tribe, his friends, and expressly his love, Laila.

 

History:

The events of the Hunchback of Notre Dame happened just like in the original novel by Victor Hugo except the ending. Roxanna watched Quasimodo during the events of his book. Thought him a strong stupid dupe for Dom. Saw that Quasimodo loved Esmeralda so Roxie made her into a vampire. Quasimodo agreed to be turned but rebelled, fought off Roxie and escaped with Laila (formally Esmeralda).

Desperately fleeing from Roxanna and Dracula’s other servants, Laila and Quasimodo wandered Europe, finding lost people and helping them run away from persecution. Helped Laila form her own tribe called the Mullo tribe.

Assisted Annabelle, Thomas, Yoska and the orphans hide in the Paris catacombs until Racheal arrived. Then guided the orphans to the Mullo tribe.

Worked for the Order of the Righteous Vampyr during many assignments over the years including the Peyupei Quest, the American Revolution and the rescue of Frankenstein’s monster.

CHARLIE


 

CHARLIE

Physical characteristics:

Charlie has sandy blond hair which is always a mess. He's scrawny and always has a wicked grin unless he's in trouble by his brothers or caught by members of the Order of the Righteous Vampyr.

Personality:

He followed the lead of his brothers Beufus and Cletus while they were alive or undead. Scared of his older brother because of the many beatings inflicted upon him by Beufus. Often makes mistakes or says things that annoy Beufus. Always tries to be his brother Beufus' favorite when the brothers were alive or undead. After their deaths, Charlie would do the same for Dracula. He spies on others and tattles as a way of earning favoritism. He has an awkward laugh and always gives off a creepy vibe. He is stuck as a teenager for a few hundred years. If he can survive vampire hunters and pissed off vampires, he could advance to adulthood eventually. Knowing Charlie's tendency to annoy others, that would be an incredible feat.

 Abilities:

Charlie has the basic vampiric abilities; strength, speed, stamina, sharp nails that are used like claws, enhanced senses and the ability to heal from most small injuries. Like all vampires, he can't handle sunlight, wooden stakes to the heart or beheading. Each of these turn him to ash. Like all evil vampires, religious artifacts harm him as well. He has not learned how to transform or fly. He can maneuver perfectly. He has learned to dodge and escape others clutches, missing danger by inches. He can hide extremely well and perfected his spying technique.

 Known History:

Charlie and his brothers lived in Jorgantown all their lives. They were satisfied with scratching out a small living doing dock work and hiring themselves out for farm work or cabin building. Their evenings were spent drinking at the pub and occasionally causing a ruckus in the town.

 The night they finally met Eliza Pratchet, the supposed town witch, was their last night alive. They teased her, only to have the recently arrived Foresight family try to defend her. Something in Eliza's eyes made the brothers forget what they were doing and instead they found a quiet spot to sleep off their drink.

 The vampire Fenroth happened across them and seeing the stocky built of Charlie's older brothers, Beufus and Cletus, turned the two of them. He ignored Charlie because the boy was too scrawny and beneath his notice. Once a human has been bitten three times he or she begins to change. The transformation to vampirism isn't always overnight. The older the human, the longer it can take.

 The white warlock Dagda set up a magical barrier around Jorgantown and the surrounding woods as a means to protect Eliza and the vampire younglings Annabelle and Roland Foresight. The barrier would prevent any dark creatures from entering. The vampire lord Dracula knew he would need inside agents to enact his revenge on his estranged wife, Eliza Pratchet, and the two children Eliza betrayed Dracula for. Realizing Fenroth's newest subjects were still in the incubation stage and therefore not dark creatures yet, Dracula commanded Fenroth to leave almost vampires Beufus and Cletus and their non-vampire brother Charlie where he found them, within the town. The barrier passed them by and once the full transformation was in effect, Dracula had three agents, (two vampire and one human) to use.

 Dracula sent them to retrieve Annabelle and Roland. They were to kill Eliza on sight. They failed and Cletus was killed by Eliza. Later Beufus was killed by Dracula, leaving Charlie alone. Despite the deaths of his brothers, Charlie continued to spy for Dracula and successfully kidnapped the Foresight's friend, Henry. Charlie served his dark masters well and was awarded by becoming a vampire. He continued to serve Dracula for years.

 In 1725 he became bored and disillusioned with the way Dracula was doing things. He felt a more direct approach should be handled. He was responsible for the large Eastern European vampire scare of the early 1700s. Dracula tortured him as a result. In 1752 he failed his master once more and was given to Usha as a “plaything”.

 The reason Dracula doesn’t kill him is because he feels Charlie’s unique stupidity and annoyance is the perfect tool to enrage Dracula’s other servants so he can use them as a blunt instrument when necessary. He can also be used to test the loyalty of some servants due to Charlie’s frequent desire to try methods Dracula doesn’t approve of.

Hawke is gruff, vengeful, and angry. He is also very careful and calculating. To stay alive as long as he has, Hawke is always careful to watch his back and never stay in the same place twice. He has no scruples and is not above killing other humans to get at his prey.

 Known History:

Ethan Hawke had a brother named Aaron. Aaron became obsessed with mythical and supernatural creatures after an incident when he was a child. He traveled the world researching the strange and unknown and then compiled all this information complete with sketches into his book; Aaron Hawke’s Guide to Mythical Beasts.

 Enraged at this, the Vampire Lord Dracula slaughtered Aaron and his parents. Ethan arrived home late and caught Dracula in the act. He hid himself and was able to escape Dracula's attack. From that moment on Ethan dedicated himself to the eradication of every creature in his brother's book.

 He began to only go by his last name with the hope that it would strike fear and terror into the creatures' hearts. He trained himself in every way to battle and kill the monsters that inhabited his world.

He found others who lost family and friends thanks to creatures of the night and recruited them. He trained them and built an army of vampire hunters known as the Hunters and later as the Hawkes.  He has set up his hunters in every major city. He has safe houses everywhere and has successfully kept the locations secret.

 He believes night creatures are a superstitious and cowardly lot and uses that superstition to build his own dark legend, so the monsters have someone to fear.

Through the following centuries the Hawkes became the biggest threat against vampires, werewolves and any creatures of the unseen world.

Weapons and abilities:

He has two katana swords, a gift from a Samurai vampire hunter. Rumored to be folded so tightly that they can cut through any form of magic or magical beast. He also has throwing stars, a long knife, a grappling hook, a crossbow and a quiver full of silver tipped wooden arrows as well as plenty of silver shot for his arsenal of guns. Every weapon has been soaked in holy water. He can set expert traps, track monsters from nation to nation. His favorite weapon is his small sword Hell-Slayer. It has a thick tip that tapers down to its hilt. A flick of a latch and two smaller blades sprung out from either side. The weapon resembled a warped cross.

They don't all get the visions or dreams at once and some like Sybil get more. The Falabranwyn can blend into the shadows and not be seen when they wish.

Sybil was very young during the war and still remembers the Farnalla Exodus. She was tasked with watching one of evil Lord Domi's (Dracula) wives, Eliza Pratchet. Sybil became a friend to Eliza and warned her of many things. After the Foresight family arrived in the New World, Sybil watched the children close. She and several Falabranwyn warriors flew to Annabelle and Roland's defense on multiple occasions. Annabelle and Roland spotted Sybil leaving Eliza's cabin right before they rescued Blandia Blackburn from the Salem Trials and before the first Battle of Jorgantown. She has begun training Aisling, a fledgling Falabranwyn.

Servo is a ghoul. If a vampire bites a human twice in rapid succession their physical and mental being becomes corrupted. They become stronger and faster than most humans. Their reflexes and senses are sharper. In short, they gain a small fraction of the power of a vampire. They cannot mesmerize others, fly or chance shape. The sun weakens them a fraction but does not burn them. Ghouls have long life spans, but it is unknown if they can achieve the full immortality that vampires have. Most die in the service of their dark masters.

Known History:

At some point in the past Dracula found Servo in Italy and made him a ghoul. Servo has served Dracula for centuries, spying on Dracula's enemies across two continents and within many nations. He always puts Dracula first and travels a lot to fulfill his master's wishes. He mortally wounded Thomas Dunston, forcing Annabelle Foresight to turn Tom into a vampire. Most of Servo's dark history is so far untold.

VANESSA KIMBALL


 

VANESSA KIMBALL

Name Origin:

Kimball (English; Derived from the Welsh first name Cynbel meaning "chief war" or the Old English first name Cynebald meaning "royal boldness".)

Physical characteristics:

Vanessa is blond and tall.

Personality:

Vanessa gives off an elegant air. She always behaves as if she is royalty. She liked to use people for her own desires and was not afraid to step on others to get what she wanted. This began to change after the vampire James broke her heart. She secretly wanted to change her ways.

Known History:

Vanessa Kimball was of royal birth. She grew up with everything she wanted. The vampire lord Dracula came into her life and wooed her. She became a vampire and willingly served him. Dracula named her Sovereign of the British Empire Covens. This means she became the head of the rich upper-class vampires of London. Dracula did as he always does and left her.

After a while she was bored, so she turned a group of spoiled upper class young men. They became known as the Rakes. Her personal servant and ghoul is named Chester.

Dracula constantly shifts from one empire to the next to keep an active eye on his subjects. He returned and discovered the rowdy and frivolous Rakes and almost destroyed them, but Vanessa made them swear an allegiance to him. They paid him many tributes of captured humans.

Vanessa fell in love with one of her Rakes, James Worthing. He didn't feel the same way about her and used her to gain power among the Rakes and London's vampire society. James fell in love with a lady of ill repute named Abigail Black and turned her. They ran away together, and Vanessa's heart was broken.

She began to get second thoughts about her life and the corrupt things she did. When she met Annabelle Foresight and Thomas Dunston, she began to think on a major life change. She helped then escape from the vampire hunter called Hawke and his hunters.

 

Dracula made an example of her rebellion. Her broken, starved, body hangs in his castle in Transylvania. Vanessa was killed by Dracula before he sent his servants to hunt for the Peyupei artifacts.

CLETUS


 

CLETUS

Physical characteristics:

Cletus has dirty blond hair and dull eyes. He's large and stocky, shorter than his brother Beufus but taller than his younger brother Charlie. He had yellow teeth when he was alive and gained a set of vampire fangs after he was turned.

Personality:

Wimpy, always following the lead of his brother Beufus. They get into mischief. Scared of his older brother because of the many beatings inflicted upon him by Beufus. Dull and dim witted and very dense. Often makes mistakes or says things that annoy Beufus.

Abilities:

Cletus has the basic vampiric abilities; strength, speed, stamina, sharp nails that are used like claws, enhanced senses and the ability to heal from most small injuries. Like all vampires, he can't handle sunlight, wooden stakes to the heart or beheading. Each of these turn him to ash. Like all evil vampires, religious artifacts harm him as well. He has not learned how to transform or fly. While Cletus is extra strong, he can't maneuver very well. This means smaller vampires with more developed speed could easily avoid his massive hands.

Known History:

Cletus and his brothers lived in Jorgantown all their lives. They were satisfied with scratching out a small living doing dock work and hiring themselves out for farm work or cabin building. Their evenings were spent drinking at the pub and occasionally causing a ruckus in the town.

The night they finally met Eliza Pratchet, the supposed town witch, was their last night alive. They teased her, only to have the recently arrived Foresight family try to defend her. Something in Eliza's eyes made the brothers forget what they were doing and instead they found a quiet spot to sleep off their drink.

The vampire Fenroth happened across them and seeing the stocky built of both Beufus and Cletus, turned the two of them. Once a human has been bitten three times he or she begins to change. The transformation to vampirizim isn't always overnight. The older the human, the longer it can take.

After the white warlock Dagda warded off the vampire lord Dracula from his property and began to set up a magical barrier to prevent any dark creatures from entering it, Dracula knew he would need inside agents to enact his revenge on his estranged wife, Eliza Pratchet, and the two children Eliza betrayed Dracula for. Realizing Fenroth's newest subjects were still in the incubation stage and therefore not dark creatures yet, Dracula commanded Fenroth to leave almost vampires Beufus and Cletus and their non-vampire brother Charlie where he found them, within the town. The barrier passed them by and once the full transformation was in effect, Dracula had three agents, (two vampire and one human) to use.

At first the men thought it was Dracula who turned them, since he was the vampire who summoned them once they woke up in their new lives. He sent them to retrieve Annabelle and Roland (the children Eliza rescued). They were to kill Eliza on sight. They failed and Cletus was killed by Eliza.
