YETI


 

YETI

Physical characteristics:

Like their North American cousins, these creatures are taller than eight feet, covered in matted white fur and have elongated hands and feet. Their faces are a cross between an ape and a human. They have a musky odor that triggers most creatures' gag reflexes.

What they are:

Yeti live in packs or tribes across the Himalayas. They prefer to remain hidden, live off the land and are quite peaceful. There are always exceptions, but most shun violence.
The evil being known as Krampus has enslaved many yeti and caused them a great deal of pain over the centuries.

LILITH (LYL)


 LILITH (LYL)

Sekhmet (Egypt), Lilu (Babylonia), Lilitu (Sumeria), Strix (her owl form, Rome), Shtriga (she took an insect form in Albania), Kali (India), Sara the Black Goddess (Romani / gypsies), Lamia (Greece), Hebrew לילית lilith, Akkadian līlītu are female Nisba adjectives from the Proto-Semitic root LYL "night", literally translating to nocturna "female night being/demon".

 

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.

KIMON


 

KIMON:

Name Origin:

(Κίμων): Greek name, possibly meaning "sleepy."

 Older brother to Domi. Lilith’s sixth son. Very wise, kind, sweet, listens, patient, positive thinker, friendly, sees the best in others, reflective. He looks aged, with long white hair and a beard of scruffy whiskers. Kimon is friendly and wise. He has a sense of humor and always has a smile. He is blind. Lost his sight during the Exodus War.

 He can dream walk, appearing in others' dreams and controlling his appearance and even shape the dream according to his wishes. Sometimes the dreams show events or objects from the future. For instance, when he appeared to Annabelle in the early 1700's, his dream was of a Hawaiian luau and he dressed in a Hawaiian shirt and shorts, centuries before the look came into fashion.

 Head and founder of the Order of the Righteous Vampyr. As powerful as Domi but forced to sleep for a hundred years at a time to charge his power. Ethelda is his mate. She runs the Order while he’s in hibernation. Expert at all vampire abilities but favors dream walking. Has appeared in Annabelle’s dreams, guiding her as a mentor. His biggest help is advice of caution and self-control. When awake he can summon Holy Lightning to battle with. He can also turn to any animal.

 Kimon appeared to Annabelle in a dream the night her body transformed into a vampire. He appeared again in another dream the day before she set out to rescue her brother Roland and their friend Henry. Annabelle will learn more about him each time he makes an appearance in her dreams. Every bit of advice has come in handy. Annabelle has begun to look forward to their chats. She met him for the first time in 1752, during the Peyupei Relic.

VAMPIRE VINE / DEVIL’S SNARE


 

VAMPIRE VINE / DEVIL’S SNARE

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.”

MILLOE


 

MILLOE

The son of a haiduk (Balkan outlaws opposed to Turkish rule) by the name of Milloe was turned along with several others by Charlie on his way through Eastern Europe in 1732. He felt Dracula wasn’t doing enough so he randomly picked several mortals with the hope they will begin feasting on others and the vampires could rise up. The Eastern Europe Vampire Scare was the result, causing several of the Order of the Righteous Vampyr to clash with Dracula’s servants and several lost newly turned vampires stuck in the middle.

 Milloe is quick to anger, and ready to prove himself. He eagerly joined Dracula’s forces. He worked with Fenroth, Isi and Wildes Blut Teir, and helped them to terrorize several humans and new vampires. He throttled a girl named Stanacka and killed a child vampire named Jacob who became close to Racheal. Milloe continued to serve Dracula.
