iii.  about the species

vaympires on all accounts do appear human, but they are certainly not. vaympires are not born vaympires, they are not born with a gene either. their line stems from the original vaympires who were in fact created by witches. the only way to become a vaympires is to die with a vaympires blood in your system. once you have died, you will resurrect between 12 to 24 hours later depending on each individual and you will then have twenty four hours to either feed on human blood or die from lack of feeding. during this transition you are sensitive to sunlight, overly aggressive and have a craving for human blood. once you have fed on human blood, the transition is complete.

iv.  the past

APPASSIONATO

when the gods created the first wytches a realm was made to serve as their home. eden. generations passed and one was born with the ability to break the barriers set by death. aleera was her name. a bright and caring personality incompatible with someone that walked in the land of the dead. welcomed and loved by the shadows of the world.  there was a kindness to her, a beam of light that guides lost souls into eternal rest. often seen wandering the dense forests of the realm. magyck spills from her lips and the dead gain a breath of life. not for too long. she is still young and inexperienced.

hiding her powers from the gods, she practises in secret. years go by and her ability is mastered. ghosts trail her steps into the deep forest by the lakeside.she laughs with her friends invisible to the naked eye. they tell her stories of the divine and the creatures that roam lost between planes. attently she hears everything and returns the information in small gestures. that by gods standards are blasphemous.

it´s said that loving a god is only a tragedy if he loves you back. and how they loved one another. a bond that transcends the laws of the divine. as pure as it was forbidden such was their love. soulmates. it shouldn´t happen. their relation was wrong, a flaw in the threads of fate.  the wytch gave him a heart and the demigod gave his soul. vows were exchanged, deeper than marriage. their souls are now bound as one.

he is speaking to his wife´s stomach,  as if the baby inside would recognize her father. the kicks stop. his voice lulls both mother and child to sleep.happiness doesn’t last long. betrayed. they were discovered and his wife is dragged away. the demigod fights against the hands holding him down.  forced to see her tortured in front of him, he begs. something he never did in his life. that only made his father hurt her more. his punishment for daring to break the law was to watch her suffer.

“ I will…love you.” violet eyes are closing as she crawls to him, clothes drowning in a pool of her own blood “...forever.” rage and despair give him the strength to break free with her body in his arms. over and over again he calls for her there is no reply. but her soul is still intact ( he always had half of her soul). how and what he did will remain a secret. it’s believe that her necromancy and his power interlaced like their souls had and created the first vaympire. her corpse, or what the other gods believed to be, was cast to earth. no traces of her would remain in eden. her existence would be erased and her name forgotten.

LACRIMOSO

she wakes up alone in what is modern egypt. the sun burning her skin, dried blood glued to her cold skin. her daughter is gone, she can´t feel the baby moving anymore. a scream is stuck in her throat. a voice speaks in her head. it´s him. her husband is looking for her, but they can never touch again. the demigod is bound to the etherworld. rage, sorrow, guilt. she knows what he is feeling and he knows hers. being connected to her mate in such a deep level is both a blessing and a curse. it´s more than she can bear.

the sound of a breaking heart is such a beautiful thing for the ears of some. for her it meant her rebirth. the gods created a monster with the powers of a god and don´t know of her existence.  for centuries she feeds of any creature unfortunate enough to cross her path and  cries of guilt afterwards.thick crimson tears cover the corpses of her victims. this was not her. darkness consumed her. now she has no other way but to forget who she once was in order to survive.

after having lost everything and convinced that her husband would never return to her. dying wasn’t an option. not anymore, not even if she wanted. bloodlust and revenge were the guide to her steps during the first millenniums. humans mistaken her for a goddess. and gave her many names, all synonymous with death and destruction. what a laugh. that she inspired more fear than the ones looking from above in their golden thrones.  

sanity returns to her when she starts to control her powers and her thirst. loneliness was her next battle. roaming the earth for so long with only her husband´s voice in her head wasn´t a replacement for what she had lost.  slowly and with intend she looks for companions to join her quest. surely the gods have made more enemies besides her?

VOLTI SUBITO

it all started with THE APOSTLE, a child that followed her. he was cast away by his people and instead of withering away in the wild decided to follow a monstrous creature. trying to care for the young boy brought back her maternal instincs. knowing that he needed to be around others of his kind, she seduced and stole an empire for them. it was so easy: the king was obsessed with her. a few mind tricks and the apostle was recognized as the king’s next heir. sadly the king had to die, by her hands. while the heir was young she ruled in his place.

it was during this time that she found four other children to call her own:  THE SAGE;THE ANARCHIST; THE WANDERER & THE SHADOW.  along with the apostle they are the first turned vaympires. the originals.  the first of her creations. each one of them was given an element: spirit, air, fire, water and earth.  she was unsure of how to make them immortal like her. so to guarantee their survival she used the power of the elements to help with their rebirth. it´s from them that all vaympires can trace back their origins. the ones with the affinity to an element are direct descendants of the progeny of the originals. a rare trait that only few possess.

her triumph over death was complete. now she could create more like herself. an entire species. with baál now free from the etherworld and the two lovers reunited the Earth is their playground. their empire. she feels complete and her heart is starting to heal. even beat again. baál and her first five children are all she needs. they make plans to rule the world. to cast everything into shadows, to let the night take the day. their power and influence in the old world grow. statues of gods are built with their faces. how proud she feels.

a mistake is all that takes to once again shatter her world. the originals go against the gods. they scream for revenge for what was done to their mother, but greed also weighs into their motivation. divinity. they feel entitled to such and for that they have to dethrone the old gods. too young and foolish. they fail and almost die, this time for good.

unable to watch her break apart, for what he considers the actions of ungrateful brats. baál never quite liked the ones she placed under her wings. his intentions are in the right when it comes to his wife, but the results not always match his expectations. she always trusted him completely heart and soul and allowed him freely into her mind. using their bond he altered her memories and made her forget all the bad things that happened to them. without asking for her permission or consent.  all that matters is that she will he happy.  they will be happy.

ankhesenamun. the tragic queen that ruled egypt around at the time. her story and the one of his wife had so much in common that baál deems her the perfect choice.  at age twenty-six, the egyptian queen disappeared and his replaced by his wife Aleera.

iv.  the dawn

TRIONFALE

not alone anymore. when she opens her eyes for the third time, baál is there by her side.  born into her new life with the name of astarte. ankhesenamun was her past. or what she believed to be her past. baál threw a web of lies and made himself her savior. she fell in love with him, like he knew she would.  

the two controlled what its roughly the modern middle east. a crowned prince of the etherworld and a vaympire. a kingdom of the creatures fated to walk in the night. it was necessary to keep a certain degree of order in a time of savagery when beasts run freely ravaging entire human villages. they took that task upon themselves. old enough to be feared and powerful to demand respect and obedience.

their conquests and atrocities are the fabric of legends and nightmares. only when astarte was dancing above the corpses of their enemies and covered in their blood was she truly satisfied. in supernatural history she is better known as the infamous blood queen of the East.

during the crusades, astarte and baál met the final member of their triad. THE DESTROYER completed them. a polyamorous relation, passionate and volatile that was meant to be from the start. those are the days that she misses the most. in the middle of all the chaos she felt at peace with them. only there was an empty part in her soul that she didn’t knew the reason for. her children  were missing.

in the 14th century there was a coup and baál was murdered, it was very hard to kill a creature as old as him but not impossible. crazed with sorrow and rage, she made the unthinkable. their unofficial palace was destroyed by a storm that she created, all the memories where gone along with her sanity. one by one Astarte and the destroyer hunt and ripped apart the ones responsible. tales about their revenge go as far as to claim that they were responsible for the deaths of thousands. an exaggeration that is used to their benefit. better to be feared and alive than loved and dead.

v.  the current

SMORZANDO

when her mate was killed ( or they believed him to be) astarte was sought by the apostle. he took advantage of this chance to place his mother next to him after thanking whoever had killed her husband. she was in such a state of sadness that not much needed to be said.  like he had taken her bloodied hands so long ago, he would now watch over her. he got rid of the second chairman of the High Council and made her is second in command

the centuries pass and she continues to amass power inside the high council. while many expected  her to go after the chair of ultimate power she never does. astarte is the right hand of the omnipotent vaympire and sees no reason to change that, but she is never afraid to shred to pieces anyone that dares to threaten them.

moving to Deadwood was all part of the grand scheme of things, the vaympires agenda. what she never expected was to discover that her husband wasn’t dead. correction, baál picked that moment to make himself known. such a bad timing or rather good.when it comes to reaching out to other species she is the first sent to deal with the demons, perhaps due to her estranged relation with one of the seven crowned princes.

to say that her heart is a mess seems like a joke. worse than that: her mind is starting to play tricks and show her images of a past astarte doesn´t remember. small cracks are growing in size and soon enough the seal that was placed in her memories and powers will break. what will happen then? it remains to be seen.

vi. connections

✗  BAÁL - it was all a lie. her husband and soulmate faked his own demise and after centuries returned claiming that all he did was to protect her and warin. as if her pain and guilt for moving on with her life meant nothing. trusting baál again is a herculean task, but they will always belong to each other for better or for worse.  

✗ THE DESTROYER - he is the third piece of her soul. first it was only her and baál and then they found warin. a polyamorous relation, passionate and volatile that was meant to be from the start. he loves her with an obsession that can only be matched by his lust for destruction. after baál´s return from the dead, the blissful image of a perfect family shattered. warin isn´t sure of his place anymore. doubts haunt his mind. can he forgive Baál? and now that he is back will he lose his place next to Astarte?

✗ ARTEMISIA D´ARDENNE - the only good thing the world has ever given to her.around twenty years ago, she and warin adopted a young wytch. artemisia is the light of their eyes. it was the child that took the vaympire from her state of self isolation. astarte was starting to resemble a living statue: while her body was there her mind was trapped inside of memories of the past. artemisia’s roots remain a secret for her own protection and her parents will do anything to keep it that way. she is theirs and they are her parents. nothing could ever change that.

✗ RAFAEL PAREDES - her saving grace. in many ways rafael helped her piece back her sanity after losing baál. he was always by her side when she needed. loyal and honest ( or so she thinks). astarte loves the child with all her heart and lets him see a side of herself that not many do. letting others see her sadness is synonymous with weakness, yet she confides in him. while she wants to see him succeed and is sure to whisper in the ears of the apostle, his hubris worries her. nevertheless she has complete confidence in rafael.

✗ BILLIE REED - the young vaympire was going to lose her head, quite literally, if astarte hadn´t intervene on her behalf .while the high council wanted to dispatch  billie because of her reckless behaviour, she saw potential. such a talent should not be wasted because of some mere killings. that was her reasoning for making the vaympire one of her guards. once billie was brought into her nest the high council had to ignore her transgressions.  astarte had no problem in using her position to force it to happen.

✗ ZHARA KABIRI - the dragyn searched for a way to change her three children so that they would never grow old. astarte offered to change them and grew close to their family. zhara was once her best friend. a vaympire and a dragyn. when alexander´s troops conquered persia and the queen was deemed dead, astarte took the THE NEFARIOUS & THE CHAMELEON under her protection and became a aunt to them. the eldest was killed by a pack of weyrwolves, no one could change her mind once nazli decided to do something. now with her friend back, astarte just wants to get their relation back and help zhara settle into the modern times. without ever forgetting the revenge for nazli.

✗ THE IMPERIOUS - it was during the punic wars.the roman general made a deal with her husband for help against the weyrwolves. she offered to go, her old self would never pass a chance to shed some blood. it was never her intention to turn him since his mortality fascinated her. someone that was once precious to her betrayed her. incapable of killing him, that’s how she normally deals with traitors, astarte refused any contact until the day she had to face him again at the high council.  

✗ THE ORIGINALS - THE SAGE, THE ANARCHIST, THE WANDERER, & THE SHADOW. when they went against the gods only the apostle remained. his affinity to spirit allowed him to heal himself with his mother’s help.  the other four are placed in hibernation to restore themselves. a sleep that lasts for almost four thousand years now. in their tombs they wait for their mother to recover her memories and awake them with her blood for a second time. *This character/connection being crossed means the character will be posted in the future.

✗ THE APOSTLE - here is a sense of familiarity and love, everytime astarte looks at the master of the vaympires. she feels very protective over the first chairman, but knows it´s foolish since he is stronger than her and more that capable of fighting for himself. she knows the plans he has for the vaympire nation and will stay on his side no matter what. their minds are aligned in such a way that sometimes scares her. she finds herself trusting him and knows the feeling is mutual. there are times when she almost sees his face in her memories.
