Player Handle; Fanger Name; Elise Lawless Age; 53 Place of birth; London, England Age of embrace; 22 Clan; Tremere Sect; Camarilla Species; Vampire Disciplines; Auspex • Dominate • Thaumaturgy Appearance; Elise stands at about five foot seven and has a slender build. Her skin is skin is pale but smooth and free of blemishes, her nose softly pointed, with harsh, pronounced cheekbones. She has naturally squinted eyes, through which her bright green irises beam beautifully. Elise's chin is softly pointed like her nose, but is rather long and thin - amusingly so if she outstretches it. To most, this chin along with her slightly uneven lip (the bottom lip droops ever so slightly on the left) are the only real 'flaws' on her face. Elise has very long black hair that flows wavily down to her lower back. She wears it in a variety of styles both up and down, braided and not. Her choice of clothing is less varied. Nine time out of ten she can be seen in a dress and boots of some kind, often with accessories. Generally speaking, Elise is a very attractive woman. Not so much so that any man would fall at her feet, because certainly there are those that would say she's not their type. But all the same she is beautiful enough to take advantage of her looks. She has the elegance of a noble woman - an elegance learned over about 40 years of trying to impress men and, later, blending into human society. Haven; Elise's residence is no more than a humble two-bedroom apartment in Ilford, Redbridge, which she shares with a kind kine woman who pays roughly 60% of the rent. The rest Elise pays for with money gained from social welfare and odd jobs she receives from any Camarilla willing to pay her. Of course, this woman also serves as a source of blood whenever Elise is, for whatever reason, particularly desperate for the good stuff. History; Elise was born in 1963 on the 31st of March to a poor, working class family in Tottenham. As a baby she slept little. She would have terrible nightmares even from a very young age, and her first word was "blaze" - certainly an unusual first word for a child. Elise, throughout her childhood, convince many that she had some level of psychic ability. Dreams or statements that came true, pieces of knowledge she couldn't know, among other anomalies, followed Elise until she was about ten. Around that time, her father died in a house fire which further cemented her and her mother into poverty. Elise became distant and isolated. She'd always love dancing as a child and although she kept it up even in her darker days, her soul was clearly ice cold. She began to go wild in the early days of her teenage years. She drank a lot, popped a lot of pills and sucked a lot of cock. Flaunting her looks, Elise briefly shook off her broke lifestyle by gold digging and occasionally selling drugs. Between these and social welfare, she just about found her way through life, as dark and unfulfilled as it may have been. At the age of 19, Elise's life was shifted however. She stumbled into a simple job at Azda around the same time that she discovered acid, or LSD. The hallucinogenic showed her a new perspective, one she returned to every so often to evaluate her life and mind state. Suddenly she found her life much more controllable. She felt happiness he hadn't known in years, as the emotional stimulation from acid killed any need for heavier drugs, or the approval sought after when she acted like a slut. Soon after attaining this sense of enlightenment, on her 20th birthday, Elise met Cade. The two would grow very close over time. Elise was happy to let their relationship proceed without a need for sexual relief, a trait she attributed to the spiritual attitude she got from acid. In fact they went just over a year without it. She was pleased to find a man who saw more in her than a banging body and a fuckable face. Eventually Elise's felt as though Cade had put a spell on her. She was enthralled by him, but the intense feelings were mutual. In him, she saw a kind man that she could really build a life with, and in her, Cade saw a fascinating example of how life can shape a person. He The day came, when Elise was twenty two, that Cade was compelled to reveal his true nature, his emotions overpowering his Vampiric secrecy. She had such an intense level of trust and devotion in him that she, unthinkingly, allowed him to embrace her (not once did she consider either the legitimacy or the consequences of becoming a 'Kindred'). Elise found her life changed completely. She suddenly had animalistic urges and a new sensation of power. Although she was in awe initially that the Kindred society Cade revealed to her was truly real, Elise in truth did not take very long to get adjusted to her new lifestyle. In fact she felt like her life had more fulfilment as, over the years, she learned more and more about her kind and met various members of the Camarilla - despite how conniving and slippery many of them seemed. Her life continued with Cade Carr for quite a while (though perhaps not so much by vampire standards). Their love grew stronger and stronger as Elise became more and more involved in the happenings of hers and her love's society. Even as a spiritual, live-and-let-live person she developed a grudge against the Sabbat purely from her people's history, and her fellow Camarillans' feelings. Cade in particular despised them, and was quite open about it. This open hatred is what ultimately separated Elise and Cade from one another. While surveying Sabbat territory out of loyalty to the Camarilla, Cade was attacked. For a change, Elise was actually close by (she'd had bad feeling about that night). She appeared during the attack to assist Cade. Before them stood two Brujah and a Gangrel. The odds were overwhelming, but with their Thaumaturgy Elise and Cade managed to grant one of the Brujah Final Death. However the Gangrel entered the form of a bear, striking Cade down and mauling him to death. Elise fled with tears gushing from her eyes, pathetically muttering the name 'Cade' aloud over and over between heaving breaths. She escaped, just barely, by killing the second Brujah when he eventually found her. That was a painful night for Elise. She had lost her idol in life and also been forced to take two lives. She of course appreciated her survival but nonetheless she was left depressed by what was necessary to maintain it. Elise stayed distraught for a few years before eventually accepting Cade's death. In fact that one night had been key in shaping her into who she is now. Today she is haunted by a fear of fire because of her father's death, as well as a general unwillingness to get too close to people, despite her friendly nature. Notes; Elise's weapon of choice is no weapon - she uses unarmed strikes, delivered with graceful dance-like motions. Should the need arise however, she does have a snub nosed revolver. This is mainly used as a threat, though when pushed, Elise wouldn't hesitate to use it. • Gorgeous and seductive • Street smart and resourceful • Almost entirely humane - very hard to frenzy • Gains an additonal dot to spend in Thaumaturgy • Mistrusting of Camarilla officials • Intense fear of fire • Hesitant to kill even the most brutal foes • Can only ever learn one path in Thaumaturgy Edited by Fanger, Thursday, 7.
