About The Blood That Bonds

Two Majors

Born in 1983, Two Ashley Majors - 2AM - was named by her parents for the time she was conceived. While they found this amusing, it was a source for her of embarassment for much of her early life, and led to a degree of isolation from other children and a fierce individuality. When her mother died in a car accident, Two's father fell into depression and alcohol, his relationship with his daughter becoming strained to the point that, at age sixteen, she left him for the streets. A survivor by instinct, Two made it to the age of nineteen relatively unscathed, surviving by hustling pool, picking pockets, and similar petty crimes. She fell into heroin and prositution by chance, when a severe beating left her unconscious and in the care of Darren, the man who would become her pimp.

Two is short - just over five feet - and pale, with unruly blonde hair. Her large green eyes and small upturned nose make her look younger than her actual age. She is thin but shapely, small-breasted. She often keeps her hair in a loose ponytail, and rarely wears anything more formal than jeans and a t-shirt (she has a predilection for black). Both ears have standard piercings, and she has two more studs in her left ear. She smokes camel lights, does not carry a purse except when on business, and is most likely to wear dark, flat shoes unless a client insists on heels. When she's not scowling, Two is typically smirking.

Theroen Anders

Theroen Anders was born in a small town in Holland in the year 1586 AD. As a young boy, his parents emigrated to England, where he had a religious experience that led to his entering the priesthood. At twenty-three, Theroen became a vampire at the hands of Abraham. Apart from some early contact with other vampires, Theroen's master has largely kept him out of vampire society for the last four hundred years. On a relatively routine exploration of a Brooklyn neighborhood, he sensed Two and became enamored with her, watching her from afar for quite some time before setting his plans in motion. Theroen is an "Eresh-Chen" - a first child in the line of the vampire goddess Eresh ... something which means a great deal more than he has been allowed to understand.

Theroen stands slightly over six feet tall, thin and lanky but not awkward. His features are quirky but handsome, with a greek nose, very pale brown eyes (nearly yellow), and a generally intense demeanor. He is inhumanly calm most of the time, rarely moving unnecessarily. His straight, jet-black hair is kept short. He prefers dark, casual clothes, dark shoes or boots, and often wears a black trench coat left open. In addition to his obvious calm, Theroen is often found with the slightest hint of a smile playing about the edges of his mouth.

Abraham Schorr

Abraham was born more than one hundred years before the birth of Christ, and his exploits in that time are too numerous to count. Even before his conversion to vampirism, he was not a man of good, and afterwards he was left almost wholly stripped of any sort of sentimentality or compassion. He views his fledgling vampires as his property, keeping them away from vampire society and forcing them to live with him in his stronghold outside of Binghamton, New York. Here, he often gives them petty tasks to perform, as much for his own amusement at holding such control as out of any real need.

Abraham is physically imposing, standing at six-foot-four with broad shoulders and a powerful (but not overly-muscled) build. His brown hair is streaked with grey, grown moderately long and brushed back, and he has a full beard. His eyes, set above a large, hooked nose, are brown, but seem to burn with a sort of fire from within. He wears custom-tailored clothing, the style of which borders on archaic: mainly full suits patterned from a time before the turn of the twentieth century.

Melissa/Missy Williams

Melissa and Missy are two halves of the same person. Born in New York in 1850, Melissa lived a life of poverty, sharing a tiny Brooklyn tenement with her mother and six siblings. At the age of twenty-four, she was discovered by Abraham (no one is quite sure exactly how), who sent Theroen to pick her up and take her to him. His powerful blood broke her mind during the transformation into a vampire, leaving her with two distinct personalities: Melissa, a bright and cheerful girl much like the one who had been a human, and Missy, a dark and twisted creature in love with pain, death, and torment. Both girls share a love for sex, and both are indiscriminate about the gender (or number) of partners they spend their nights with. The two have lived in Abraham's mansion for over a hundred years, each one in possession of the body at different times. With each passing year, Missy's time in the body grows a little longer, and Melissa's a little shorter.

Melissa and Missy share the same body and thus the same physical appearance. Both have long, straight black hair and dark brown eyes. Their skin is incredibly pale even for a vampire, and their lips are a deep and sensuous red. They stand at five-foot-five and are well-built, with a small waist, curving hips, and full breasts. Melissa prefers to wear light, sexy clothing: skirts or low-cut jeans, camis, midriffs or sheer blouses. Missy tends toward a much darker, more gothic wardrobe, featuring leather, latex, and hooks. They have a bellybutton ring, and ear piercings.

Tori Perrault

Born in 1970 and raised in the small town of Fort Shawnee, Ohio, Tori was attending Syracuse University in upstate New York when she was abducted by Abraham. He forced his blood upon her and, like Melissa, the resulting shock did great damage to her mind. In Tori's case, it reverted her to a feral, animalistic creature doomed to roam the mansion grounds, relying on the other vampires to periodically bring her food. Tori will only drink from males, whom she will often tear to pieces in the process of feeding on them. Sometimes she engages in sex with them first, using a combination of physicality and mesmerism to seduce them. Tori is far stronger than a vampire of her age should be, and faster even than Theroen.

Physically, Tori is an excellent example of the human body. She has long, wavy blonde hair and blue eyes. Her model-esque face is complemented by her height - five feet, nine inches - and toned body. Tori possesses less of the typical vampire palor than the others, but has much more pronounced canine teeth. Unable to sense extremes in temperature and uninterested in modesty, Tori eschews clothing entirely, stalking the forest naked like an animal, and is frequently found in a bedraggled, muddy state, her hair matted and tussled. Her ears are not pierced.

Samantha Brea

Samantha is, in her own words, "just a poor girl from the Bronx." She grew up in a housing project with her parents and two siblings, and was attending community college with the intent on transfering to a four-year school. She met Melissa at a night club, where the vampire seduced her, bringing her home to the mansion.

Samantha is of latino descent, with straight brown hair, a wide nose, dark eyes, and a broad smile which she displays often. She is five feet, four inches tall with heavy breasts and full hips. She dresses casually, with tight jeans, a bright blouse, and heels being a favorite outfit. She has pierced ears, an eyebrow ring, and always wears a gold chain with a crucifix on it. She smokes Newports.

Darren Cook

Darren is an amoral pimp and a drug pusher with two business degrees. He owns a building in East New York, a downtrodden section of Brooklyn, where he houses his girls, who trade their services for the heroin he provides. Darren's father is white, his mother black. He is handsome, with light-brown skin, brown eyes, and dark, curly hair that he keeps in corn rows. He wears a thin mustache/goatee combo. He stands just under six feet, and is of average weight. He dresses in "urban business casual," often emulating the appearance of hip-hop stars who have moved into the realm of slacks and button-down shirts.

Rhes Thompson & Sarah Taylor

Rhes and Sarah are Two's closest friends. They rent a duplex in the Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn. Rhes works as a bouncer/doorman for a very successful bar in Manhattan. Sarah was blinded in a childhood car accident and works as a teacher at a school for the blind. She rarely leaves the house without her seeing-eye dog, a black labrador named Jake. Rhes is six-foot-two and very fit, weighing in at 220 pounds, all muscle. He has short, dark hair, green eyes, and a slightly bent nose from a fight with a drunken bar patron. Sarah is five-foot-six with medium-length red hair, freckles, and hazel eyes which she keeps behind dark glasses. They are the most "normal" people that Two knows, a pair of college-educated, mid-twenties adults who are building a life together.

Molly Smith

Molly is a twelve year-old orphan, a heroin addict, a prostitute in Darren's employ, and Two's roommate. Despite her situation, she retains a sweet, innocent demeanor. It is perhaps this, more than anything else, that makes her so valuable to Darren. She has long, brown hair which she keeps in pigtails, and blue eyes. She is very thin, only just beginning to show breasts, and dresses mostly in jeans and t-shirts. She has an assortment of dress-up outfits that Darren sometimes makes her wear for work.
