(so far a raw scetch) Age: 23 Profession: Student, archaeology (major), psychology & philosophy (minor) Clan: Toreador Background: Steven is a 24 year old archeology student with a great passion for philosophy and psychology. He loves to imagine how people lived in the past and in different cultures and he ussually tries to understand what people had in common throughout all ages and cultures. He also loves to philosophise what human nature is like and what makes a human human. This also extends to the philosophy of consciousness and philosophical questions regarding A.I. He also likes read horror stories like H.P. Lovecraft and occult tales and gossip like “Supernatural” or “The vampire diaries”. Even though he is exceptionally good looking, he is not the guy to hang out in discos or to engage in parties. He is more the guy who sits until late at night in the library or who engages in deep meaningful discussions. When he is on a party, he usually doesn´t seem to fit in very well, because he doesn´t care about small talk and superficial discussions. Instead of just talking for the cause of experiencing or sharing good emotions, he likes to explore deep philosophical ideas, moral dilemmas or interesting knowledge others are willing to share with him. Even though he usually does not share this belief with his his social environment, he thinks that the vast majority of all other people are mentally unfree and live superficial lives of consumeristic zombies trapped in a rat race and an existential vacuum. He had a good looking, but shy girlfriend called Jill. His father is a neurosurgeon. His mother is an author of books for small children. He also has a 11 years old little brother, who always admired him. He had a good, warm and trustful relationship with his parents. 2 weeks before he was turned, he met a medicine student called Anna at the night in the library. They engaged in a deep, interesting discussion about humanity and the human nature. Anna was a Toreador vampire who studied medicine out of boredom and curiosity. She was impressed and inspired by the philosophical depth of their discussion and attracted by Stevens extraordinary looks. She entranced him and fed from him and they quickly fell in love with each other. Anna began to develop deep emotional feelings for Stephen. He was so smart with so many inspiring thoughts, questions and ideas. She felt like born again. Stephen was able to help her regain feelings optimism, joy and awe for human life again. Stephen was unable to resist her supernatural charm and also became totally addicted to her ecstatically brainwashing kisses, which gave him unspeakable pleasures every time she fed from him. Whenever he wasn´t able to feel her teeth in his body for night and one day, he began to feel really bad. In those situations he began to sweat at the slightest breeze of stress and his hands were almost always shaking a little bit. Like the ones of a heavily deprived drug addict who was craving for his next dose of crack or heroin. Once, with a great amount of guilt and shame, Anna referred to this as the “Curse of Succubus”, which infected with no exception all of her victims. At this point, Stephen began to behave very strangely towards Jill and towards his family. He didn´t tell them about Anna and he seemed very tensed, impatient and nervous, when he interacted with them. They began to worry about his condition and tried to talk about this with him. When Jill confronted him with his obvious nervousness, he told her that he fell with another girl and that she was the love of his life. They had a quarrel, where he insulted her badly and where he deeply hurt her feelings. His mother and his father also tried to talk to him about his strange behavior, but he closed his soul towards them and told them that everything would be fine. After watching her love some days in this humiliating condition, Anna decided to turn Stephen, because she really loved him and she didn´t want him to be her minion or puppet. She wanted him to be her equal lover. The prince of Anna´s domain didn´t allow her to turn an “unworthy, young, useless archeology student” into a vampire. But Anna couldn´t resist her feelings of deep, burning love towards Stephen, which were always accompanied with guilt and shame because she couldn´t bare it to see him craving for her kisses every night like weak, helpless drug addict. So, Anna decided to turn him anyway and to hide his new state of existence from the other vampires in her domain. At first, she hid him in her haven, a beautiful flat in the city center. At this moment, Stephen disappeared in the eyes of his family, Jill (who was very hurt, but still secretly in love with him) and all his other social contacts. Anna taught him in his hide-out how to feed, how to use disciplines and survive as a vampire, by manipulating people with her disciplines and leading them to her apartment, where he exercise his skills with them. Unfortunately, Stephen inherited the endlessly sweet and horribly addicting “Kiss of Succubus” from Anna. Whenever he fed from a mortal, he left her or him in a state of sweet love, desire and mind bending craving. This new kind of existence quickly led Stephen into an abyss of depression. He began to question his feelings for Anna, as he watched his victims “love” him the same way he seemed to love Anna. But after his embrace he didn´t feel this addiction for her kisses anymore. Of course, she was interesting and she didn´t look bad. But she wasn´t this goddess like figure to him anymore. Suddenly, she appeared to him as a desperate, poor soul that tried to find some forgiveness in their philosophical discussions for all the horrible things she constantly did to mortals like him. After some weeks living like a prisoner in her flat hiding from other vampires living in her district, he decided to break up with her and to start his own life as a vampire. When he confronted Anna with his intentions, she became mad, jealous and terrified, because she feared that her prince could find out about her crime. So, she decided to use her disciplines on him and to make him love her again through the use of a full and complete blood bond. From now on, Stephen adored her with the same intensity and passion, as he did in the first time of their relationship. He would never again even think about leaving or questioning her. From now on, she was his universe, his goddess, his everything. Every time when she left him to find some mortal puppets to serve him as a dinner, he became endlessly jealous. He remembered that she always promised him that she would always love him and he was deeply convinced that she would never ever lie to him. … But what if she would fall in love with another innocent mortal like he once was … What if he would have to share her attention and love with another one? … From now on, they had many tiering discussions about this. Once, in the middle of the night, he felt that something horrible must have happened to Anna. … Suddenly, his strong, unshakable affection towards her was once again gone. Stephen felt very dizzy, strangely terrified and empty deep inside. He instantly saw his opportunity to escape from his prison. … But at the same time he was afraid of leaving his secure prison and living a self sustaining unlife without any support totally on his own. He became mentally addicted to his dependent lifestyle as a prisoner during the past year. Maybe she would hunt him down, enslave him again and then punish him... He waited mentally disturbed in his prison and struggled with his intense hopes and fears which constantly went through his mind. This was the first time since the completion of his blood bond with Anna, where he wondered how Jill and his family would be doing? What would they think about him? Would they miss him? He certainly did … … Now, for the first time in the past two years... … He suddenly felt very depressed. … He felt horribly ashamed and guilty. As Stephen hesitated and constantly switched between thoughts about leaving her, actively searching for her and simply waiting for her to return and to tell him what he should do, ... the nights went by and Anna didn´t return. When Stephen woke up at the evening of the 5th night, he felt a terrible urge within his throat and his chest. His whole mind craved only for one thing: fresh human blood. At this point, he wasn´t able to control the beast inside him any longer and he left finally left his prison in an uncontrollable fury. On the first floor of the building, he met a young couple. He was so tired and hungry, that he couldn´t even think about withholding his beast. He fed from both of them until they were completely dry. Then he left their dead bodies were he met them and then left the city as fast as he could. He never met Anna again. Now, he just arrived in Vancouver and rented an apartment for 1 week. He got some money a well of looking lady at a train station in an other city where he changed trains. He convinced her with the use of entrancement to give 5000$ to him and to wait then silent and without telling anybody for him in a café. Somehow it feels different to be among people compared to the time when he was a mortal... People are constantly looking at him and they behave strangely kind and a little bit shy, when he talks to them. His extra ordinary appearance and his enchanting voice appeared in a supernatural manner when Stephen was turned into a vampire. They altered his face and his physical appearance only slightly, but they gave him a mystical touch, a magical, almost divine attitude to move his body and to modulate his voice, that would make him appear like one of the most beautiful, one of the most attractive people an ordinary person would probably meet in his life. Because Stephen spent almost all of his time as a vampire in Anna´s apartment, he never had the opportunity to discover and experience his new overwhelming beauty and its effects on the people around him. Merits: Blush of Health Kiss of Succubus* Enchanting Voice Flaws: New Arrival Beacon of the Unholy * Kiss of Succubus (adopted from the similar 'Vampire:Requiem' merit): Stephens “Kisses” are very pleasurable and downright addicting. They turn a victim with the first kiss into a highly needy addict. When Stephen feeds from someone, it feels much better than the ordinary “Kiss” of a vampire. It feels like one of the highest pleasures one could possibly feel, like sweetest happiness of one of the most potent drugs. It feels like being totally happy, like “everything is fine”, like being absolutely at the right place at the right time. After the “kiss” the victim remains several hours in a very positive mood, similar to being happily in love with Stephen. They feel a deep happiness and sweet romance inside their souls. The world seems to be a wonderful place. They would really love to get more of those wonderful kisses from Stephen, the foremost attractive person in the world... After 3 - 6 hours those positive feelings fade gradually and become replaced by anxiety, craving and emptiness. At first, the victim starts to feel a little bit uneasy and looses the ability to enjoy anything which doesn´t communicate the possibility of another “Kiss” in the future. 24 hours after the start of its deprivation, the victim´s life turns into a horrible, hostile dessert, where further “Kisses” from Stephen have the same value as water in a real dessert would have for someone who seriously fears to die of dehydration. They constantly feel a mediocre, annoying pain in their whole bodies and further Kisses become the only things that really matters to them. |
