Dark chocolate hair, eyes the color of allspice, skin as smooth as newly spun silk, and a face flawless of any markings or blemishes; Kazimierz Lief Stryker is not nearly as ordinary as he looks. He is completely aware of the presence of any and all supernatural beings that inhabit the surface and shadowed workings of the world he is a part of. In the heart of the city, a poor boy commoner and one with the crowds of lowly lives that dwell in the festering sewers and streets of the once proud city's inhospitality, he is well acquainted with the crime and conspiracy that taint the hearts of hundreds. His own tainted heart has long tasted the black and bitter satisfaction of anarchy, murder, and sin. He is not pure by any stretch of imagination and though many can claim innocence at young ages, he cannot. He is a wandering soul, without a purpose and searching for a calling. He has partaken of many human indulgences, particularly those dealing with the bedding of women and the acquiring of wealth. He ceased in both activities entirely not too long after his sixteenth birthday. Nearing seventeen, his life had taken an unfortunate turn of events, events he will not name. In accordance with these events, he found himself the slave of the demon known as Rudy This demon finds a fancy to torturing Kazimierz, both physically and mentally. Kazimierz has nowhere near gotten used to the tortures, but he is no longer as surprised that they occur. It is a part of the demon's nature that he simply had to learn to deal with. Rudy also proves maddeningly unhelpful, and doesn't care about Kazimierz' well being. Having returned to his killing, thieving ways, it appears that the young man, now seventeen, hasn't changed all that much from the way he was before he ended up a slave, but he has. He really has. It's what's on the inside that has transformed so drastically, not the outside facade he parades in. Kazimierz has a strange symbol on the back of his neck, right where the first vertebrae can be felt. He keeps it hidden by wearing collared shirts or jackets. Occasionally a choker, collar, or scarf. |

Tallulah. Sweet. Soft spoken. A gentle little one with a fragile heart. A boy with an unfortunate female name, but a boy nonetheless. Or something of a boy. He has lost all sense of himself since he became a blood bag to vampires. |

Aoi Yoko is a young boy of fifteen. He was born in Japan with his seven brothers and sisters, living with his parents. He was eventually separated from them during a complex law suit that ended with him being shipped off to Chicago to live with his great aunt and uncle. The situation with them wasn't that much different from how it was with his parents. He was surrounded by cousins, all of different ideals and problems. He was just the unwanted kid tossed in the midst. The whole 'apocalypse' hit, and he was off scrounging for himself. When he discovered he was one of the gifted, he was thrilled. He used his powers as much as he wanted without inhibitions. Apparently, others didn't like it, and they taught him a lesson he can't ever forget. Aoi is rather tall for his age. He has tan skin, chestnut colored hair, and the most exotic, intense ice blue eyes you could ever behold. Most people avoid him because of that horrific stare. Aoi is blind, but for some strange reason, his eyes didn't turn murky. Rather they became vibrant and as smooth and shimmery as opalescent glass. He has a horribly scarred right leg and always walks with a pained limp. He's hard, cruel, and doesn't really give a care for anyone except himself. His malicious nature enhances his rather violent nature, making him appear the force to be reckoned with that he truly is. He may be handicapped, but he isn't entirely without ability. He is actually a phenomenal fighter, though most fights last very short, and he uses his ability at will to solidify his victory in battles. |
