1 - Character Bios [Covenire Infinitus, Euric von Duell]
[Part one of my bios. I have decided to post them here.
NOTE: My vampires have what I call an Animal Association. This is basically the first animal they see after they open their eyes after they're changed. Some have seen the real thing, others see a picture, and some don't have one at all. Depends on the vampire.]

Covenire Infinitus
Number of Members: 10
Coven Leader: Euric von Duell
Founding Date: July 18, 2004
-Euric and Peregrine are different than a lot of the other vampires. They have a sense of justice within their twisted, supernatural world and know what it means if their secret gets out. The production of their coven was to do one thing: Keep their existance a secret from the eyes, ears and knowledge of the mortals. Because their creator, Duncan, was as twisted as anything and continued to illegally create more and more derranged vampires, Euric and Peregrine sought to convert those to their side and help to uphold the peace between the two worlds. In 2004, the two vampires were continuing their search for a nasty rogue by the name of Vladimir Dominikov Galati, changed illegally and by accident. He roams the planet, sating his never-ending lust for human blood. Those he creates are either destroyed by Euric and Peregrine, or salvaged. Their hunt never ends as long as Vladimir is allowed to roam free.

Animal Association: Barn Owl. Euric was trapped in an abandoned barn when he was changed. Woke to find a mother barn owl tending to her chicks.
Euric is a quiet and wise individual. Born in Austria to gypsy parents, he traveled with his family and helped them in their efforts to rid simpletons of their hauntings, both his parents being holy priests. He went years without an actual name until he was about 10 and used his intelligence to persuade some frightning spirits to leave their place of turmoil. His mother, seeing this ability, named him Euric which means "legislator".
He takes his challenges with level-headed logic and succeeds 90% of the time. The time he failed was when he just passed his 19th birthday. He and his parents were called to rid a barn of some demonic beings. Unknowing to what these beings actually were, he was chosen to become a vampire, while his parents to left to die in front of him. Without a choice, he followed his creator across the world and managed to escape while traveling in Japan, and met a young boy to which he became close friends. When he was changed forcefully, the two became inseperable and have worked together for centuries afterwards. Together they built their coven.
Introduction Scene:
I suddenly felt a wave of strong energy pass over me. From my seat at the bar I turned my head to both sides and looked at each of the club-goer's faces. No one was new in the area and I squirmed around in the barstool. I returned my attention to my drink as the feeling passed over me and disappeared, as if nothing had actually happened. I blinked a few times and scolded myself for drinking when I was here to find my sister's killer. But since I was paying out of my own pocket, I downed the last of my drink and waved off the bartender when he asked if I wanted another.
I got up and turned to leave since nothing was happening in this nightclub. I thought that perhaps a smaller club would be better to stake, but the logic with that wasn't sensable. The smaller the place, the easier it is to spot disappearances. I sighed and moved to a different position in the club that still gave me a good vantage point. I settled into a booth and scoped the place. Still nothing was happening and then I thought back to the feeling I had minutes earlier. I sighed again and turned so I was facing the other empty booth... except it wasn't empty. The rush of adrenaline caused my heart to leap into my throat, my head to pound with the sirens of warning and made me jump up in my seat, causing my knee to bash into the metal bar that held the table up to the wall.
"You shouldn't drink when dealing with my kind," the sultry voice said. Despite the ear-bashing music pounding through the club, I was able to hear him perfectly well. "After all, Little Fox, your kind is not immune to the dulling effects of alcohol. Makes you hallucinate and rather jumpy."
He wore a sleeveless leather shirt under a mesh top like I had. His nails were painted black and his electric blue eyes bore into mine. His hair was short and spiky with a few strands that fell into his face. The look he had intensified those eyes of his, and the thick eyeliner made him appealing to look at. If it wasn't for my strong sense of smell, anyone would think he's a dark prince from a gothic fairy tale. But I caught the scent of blood on him, and the lingering smell of moist earth that was descriptive of vampires. When he smiled, his two sharp sets of fangs glinted in the strobelights. The two sets denoted a vampire lord, one of the strongest classes.
He leaned forward on his arms on the table and looked at me some more. His face went serious and he blurted out a fast "Boo!" that made me jump again. He laughed and leaned back in his seat and clapped his hands like he just finished watching a comedy show.
I didn't know this bastard's name, but the moments I spent with him dubbed him a new name regardless: Prick.
