WILDES BLUT TEIR

 

WILDES BLUT TEIR

Other names:

Wildes, slobber-puss, Wild Man, Blood Man, Wild Blood Man, Wild Blood Beast.
Wildes Blut Teir means "Wild Blood Beast" in German. When he met Roland Foresight for the first time, Fenroth mis-translated the name as "Wild Blood Man" due to his faulty German.
Physical characteristics:
Dressed in rags, smelly from his lack of hygiene, Wildes is unmistakable. He has a small iron cage around his head with a small trap door to allow his mouth to stick out and bite his victims. Most time the door is closed and only opened when his master allows it. There is an iron chain that drags from the back of the cage which allows Fenroth to restrain Wildes. He has crazy long hair that goes every which way.
Personality:
Insane. He is absolutely crazy. This vampire has more in common with a wild animal than a human. He eats, walks and behaves in every way like a savage. While on the hunt he lets out a primal scream/laugh which strikes terror in the souls of his intended victims.
Abilities:
He has the standard vampire abilities. This means he’s faster and stronger than humans, his senses are extremely acute as are his reflexes. However, he cannot fly or transform. He cannot mesmerize others either. He cannot communicate with animals.
His tracking skills are stronger than most vampires and werewolves. His senses are stronger and more acute, allowing him to sense other vampires, creatures, humans and animals for miles around. He is second to his master, Fenroth. He can jump higher than most vampires and his brute savageness allows him to constantly hone his strength and agility. He is more agile than most vampires, including his master, Fenroth.

His saliva has so much bacteria that it causes severe blood poisoning, and a strange bubbling of the skin. Any lesser creature would be instantly killed. Vampires, werewolves and most other magically based creatures are incapacitated for days. While vampires normally heal their bacteria, Wildes’ vampiric nature has allowed the bacteria to evolve.
Known History:
No one knows how old Wildes is or when he was turned into a vampire. The master tracker vampire known as Fenroth heard reports of a wild man that feasted on blood in the Black Forest of Germany. The locals called him Wildes Blut Teir for wild blood beast. Fenroth successfully captured Wildes after a vicious battle. Fenroth earned Wildes' respect when he lasted through the battle. Wildes Blut Teir would follow Fenroth anywhere because he knows it means a constant hunt followed by a tasty meal.

He always enjoyed that sort of lifestyle and Helen knew he wasn't right for her but she was too afraid to break it off. Ryan and his friends started to visit Vanessa Kimball, a member of royalty who was secretly a vampire. She turned them.

Ryan turned Helen against her will. She rejected him so he captured five of her pupils (Mary, Eric, Selina, Samuel and Charlotte) and turned them in their sleep.

Helen took in each of them and found an abandoned building in the heart of London where they could hide. She named their home the Sir Périgord Orphanage after a famous vampire hunter. It was her way of rejecting their new life. Despite her feelings, Helen continued to teach the children what little she knew.

QUASIMODO

 

QUASIMODO

Description:

He has a large misshapen head, heavy shoulders, his upper back stood up impossibly above his head. The left side of his face was swollen. His puffy lips turned downward, as did his left eye. It remained closed. His right eye, almost twice the size of the left, had a dull, yellow pupil at its center with a slight trace of crimson. Only a small lump of flesh protruded where his left ear should’ve been. An incredible hunch rose, and his massive shoulders seemed to be extensions of the large mound. By contrast to his upper body, his lower half—including his legs—seemed almost normal, although a bit on the thin side. Has massive arms that extended from his oversized upper torso. Thick as logs, the arms resembled a gorilla’s. He shifted his massive weight on his arms, also like a gorilla would.

 

Vampirism has advanced Quasimodo’s mind, making him incredibly intelligent. He is well read, brilliant and has a huge heart. Loyal to the Order, the Mullo tribe, his friends, and expressly his love, Laila.

 

History:

The events of the Hunchback of Notre Dame happened just like in the original novel by Victor Hugo except the ending. Roxanna watched Quasimodo during the events of his book. Thought him a strong stupid dupe for Dom. Saw that Quasimodo loved so Roxie made her into a vampire. Quasimodo agreed to be turned but rebelled, fought off Roxie and escaped with Laila (formally Esmeralda).

Desperately fleeing from and Dracula’s other servants, Laila and Quasimodo wandered Europe, finding lost people and helping them run away from persecution. Helped Laila form her own tribe called the Mullo tribe.

CHARLIE

 

CHARLIE

Physical characteristics:

Charlie has sandy blond hair which is always a mess. He's scrawny and always has a wicked grin unless he's in trouble by his brothers or caught by members of the Order of the Righteous Vampyr.

Personality:

He followed the lead of his brothers Beufus and Cletus while they were alive or undead. Scared of his older brother because of the many beatings inflicted upon him by Beufus. Often makes mistakes or says things that annoy Beufus. Always tries to be his brother Beufus' favorite when the brothers were alive or undead. After their deaths, Charlie would do the same for Dracula. He spies on others and tattles as a way of earning favoritism. He has an awkward laugh and always gives off a creepy vibe. He is stuck as a teenager for a few hundred years. If he can survive vampire hunters and pissed off vampires, he could advance to adulthood eventually. Knowing Charlie's tendency to annoy others, that would be an incredible feat.

 

Abilities:

Charlie has the basic vampiric abilities; strength, speed, stamina, sharp nails that are used like claws, enhanced senses and the ability to heal from most small injuries. Like all vampires, he can't handle sunlight, wooden stakes to the heart or beheading. Each of these turn him to ash. Like all evil vampires, religious artifacts harm him as well. He has not learned how to transform or fly. He can maneuver perfectly. He has learned to dodge and escape others clutches, missing danger by inches. He can hide extremely well and perfected his spying technique.

 

Known History:

Charlie and his brothers lived in Jorgantown all their lives. They were satisfied with scratching out a small living doing dock work and hiring themselves out for farm work or cabin building. Their evenings were spent drinking at the pub and occasionally causing a ruckus in the town.

 

The night they finally met Eliza Pratchet, the supposed town witch, was their last night alive. They teased her, only to have the recently arrived Foresight family try to defend her. Something in Eliza's eyes made the brothers forget what they were doing and instead they found a quiet spot to sleep off their drink.

 

The vampire Fenroth happened across them and seeing the stocky built of Charlie's older brothers, Beufus and Cletus, turned the two of them. He ignored Charlie because the boy was too scrawny and beneath his notice. Once a human has been bitten three times he or she begins to change. The transformation to vampirism isn't always overnight. The older the human, the longer it can take.

 

The white warlock Dagda set up a magical barrier around Jorgantown and the surrounding woods as a means to protect Eliza and the vampire younglings Annabelle and Roland Foresight. The barrier would prevent any dark creatures from entering. The vampire lord Dracula knew he would need inside agents to enact his revenge on his estranged wife, Eliza Pratchet, and the two children Eliza betrayed Dracula for. Realizing Fenroth's newest subjects were still in the incubation stage and therefore not dark creatures yet, Dracula commanded Fenroth to leave almost vampires Beufus and Cletus and their non-vampire brother Charlie where he found them, within the town. The barrier passed them by and once the full transformation was in effect, Dracula had three agents, (two vampire and one human) to use.

 

Dracula sent them to retrieve Annabelle and Roland. They were to kill Eliza on sight. They failed and Cletus was killed by Eliza. Later Beufus was killed by Dracula, leaving Charlie alone. Despite the deaths of his brothers, Charlie continued to spy for Dracula and successfully kidnapped the Foresight's friend, Henry. Charlie served his dark masters well and was awarded by becoming a vampire. He continued to serve Dracula for years.

 

In 1725 he became bored and disillusioned with the way Dracula was doing things. He felt a more direct approach should be handled. He was responsible for the large Eastern European vampire scare of the early 1700s. Dracula tortured him as a result. In 1752 he failed his master once more and was given to Usha as a “plaything”.

 

The reason Dracula doesn’t kill him is because he feels Charlie’s unique stupidity and annoyance is the perfect tool to enrage Dracula’s other servants so he can use them as a blunt instrument when necessary. He can also be used to test the loyalty of some servants due to Charlie’s frequent desire to try methods Dracula doesn’t approve of.
