Open Character: Sofie Santos | Slayer | Alignment: Slayer Organization | Human | 28 Years Old

FC: Shay Mitchell

Sofie Santos was born and raised on an Ohio farm. She spent a large part of her life learning about the animals and helping out on the farm to the best of her ability. Even though she was born deaf in both ears, she didn't let her disability hamper her and instead rose above it becoming very fluent in sign language.  

She was a potential but hadn't realized her destiny; until late one night when she was walking her dog and was attacked by a vampire. When she found she could kill the vampire instinctively and with ease - she bolted from the scene. Sofie then started looking into what had happened: into vampires and demons and slayers. Just as she thought she had hallucinated what she had saw, a watcher called Victoria Burke appeared at her door and told her about her destiny.

She then went to New York with her watcher when the demons began to move into the supernaturally-occupied city.

Shares a Watcher with Lisa Fredrick

Open Character: Lisa Frederick | Enhanced Human | Slayer | Alignment: Slayer Organization | 18 Years Old

FC: Keke Palmer

Lisa grew up in Baltimore’s subsidized housing, surrounded by her parents and her three siblings — all older. As the baby of the family, she got the hand-me-down, both in terms of clothing and reputation, and as she grew up she looked for ways to make herself shine. It was hard, considering one went to the Marines, one went to college, and one created a rather famous app,  but she was trying anyway. The problem was, most attempts at standing out usually succeeded in that they did draw attention… from the cops.

She was waiting in the principal’s office for her older sister to come pick her up from school one day when she was Called. Lisa knew herself well enough to know there had been a shift, but she didn’t know why, so she turned to the Internet and found accounts of something called a Slayer. When her Watcher arrived on her doorstep, she found a much-more well versed young woman than she’d been expecting. Lisa wasn’t surprised. People often assumed she was an idiot because she was a troublemaker, and that just wasn’t the case.

She lived at home with her parents just long enough to finish out the last few days of her school year before she moved to NYC to be with the other Slayers. It had been explained to her that normally she’d have gotten to stay in her city (as Baltimore had plenty of demons), but that there was something odd happening to the Slayers, so it was all hands on deck.

Open Character: Victoria Burke | Human | Watcher | Alignment: Slayer Organization | 39 Years Old

FC: Gillian Anderson

Victoria Burke, since her birth had embraced the darkness she had been born into. Blind since birth and an only child, she was severely coddled by her parents who viewed her disability as a hindrance in her success. Victoria, however, didn’t let her disability get in her way and excelled even further than anyone had expected in her studies. Even though she had proved them wrong tenfold, her parents refused to see her as more than a disabled little girl. The more they pressed her, the more she desired to be free of the restrictions they’d implemented upon her. She didn't want to be 'normal'. She wanted to be extraordinary.

During her college years, a group of students asked her to join them in a night on the town, she agreed and, without her parent’s knowledge, snuck out to join her new friends. Her night took a turn for the worse, however, when her ‘friends’ abandoned her in the middle of the night, leaving her alone in an unfamiliar place. Scared and hurt by their actions, she tried to find her way back but instead only drew the attention of a gang of vampires who fed on her and brutally assaulted her, leaving her to die on the cold streets.    

Victoria finally came to in the hospital, having been rescued by an older woman by the name of Eleanor Bishop. Eleanor, well aware of the hardships that the young girl had to face, revealed the mysterious identities of Victoria’s attackers as well as her identity to Victoria; she was a powerful witch who had the ability to heal the young girl’s sight. Victoria embraced the gift that the witch had bestowed upon her and in return, offered her services to the older woman. Eleanor saw greatness in Victoria, and knew that she would grow up to be a formidable Watcher.

Victoria took up her training as a Watcher, excelling in her work as well as coaching Slayers with (what they saw as) disabilities, helping them to embrace the 'disabilities' rather than suppress them. She continued to offer her services to the Slayer Organization in England but soon travelled to New York with Buffy Summers to offer her services and her aid to the supernatural ridden New York City.

Open Character: Fletcher Brandt | Roubinud Demon (Physical Specialty) | Alignment: Slayer Organization | 2,547 years old (Physically  35)

FC: Joe Manganiello

Born under the name Alexandros, in Athens in the 6th century, BC, Fletcher lived a challenging life. Young Alexandros was born to a Hetaera (well-educated, high-society courtesan), however, when she became pregnant with the boy, his father, a wealthy and influential leader, had them sent away to avoid a scandal. Alexandros and his mother traveled the country, seeking small, low-paying work. The boy learned quickly to keep his head down, his hands busy, and his mouth shut. When he was 14, he was sold to a slaver to pay some of his mother’s debts. It was soon after, that he was approached by a man identifying himself as a Roubinud demon, and explained that his race existed for the sole purpose of helping good people who needed it most. The man agreed to take Alexandros on as an apprentice, and, after twenty years, Alexandros was made Roubinud demon himself, declaring a specialty in using physical strength to help the needy.

As his name means “protector of man”, Alexandros kept his given name as he worked for hundreds of years as a Roubinud demon, saving the weaker and needy from stronger, corrupt, and oppressive forces. In the 18th century, he was assigned to a new charge, a young Turkish boy named Musa. Alexandros saw that the only way to protect the boy from his violently abusive father was to remove him from the household altogether. Alexandros raised the boy, helped him learn a trade (he had a promising career as a cobbler), and grew very close to Musa. Decades later, when Alexandros recieved word that he was to be assigned a new charge, he helped Musa (now an older man, old enough to pass as Alexandros’ father) onto a ship to America and asked his dearest human friend if there was any last thing he could do for the man. Musa said that his only wish was to have a son, someone to raise to be a good man, just as Alexandros raised him to be a good man. Alexandros introduced Musa to a young English boy on the ship, Samuel, after sensing the boy’s need to not be alone, before he said goodbye to his friend.

After a few years, when his next job was complete, Alexandros made a trip to Boston, only to find that Musa had been killed and the boy, stricken with grief and hungry for revenge, had sold his soul to become a contract demon. Distraught by this news, Alexandros no longer felt himself deserving of his name and no longer uses it. He has used many names since, none permanent, but he currently goes by Fletcher Brandt.

Fletcher’s current job is in New York City. Concerned by the influx of supernatural creatures in New York, the head of the Roubinud order sent Fletcher to work alongside the Slayer Organization to help them fight these powers and keep peace in the city. 

Character Traits: Compassionate, Brave, Intuitive, Stubborn, Secretive, Resentful

Past connection to Samuel Temple, Contract Demon

Lives at Slayer Headquarters

Open Character: Samuel Temple | Contract Demon | Alignment: Neutral | Age Unknown 

FC: Andrew Lee Potts

Samuel Temple was born as a human in the streets of 18th Century Coventry, England. His mother, a lowly prostitute died three years after his birth leaving him an orphan with nowhere to go and no roof under his head. Resorting to petty thievery to survive, Samuel soon sought shelter at a dingy inn where he worked for lodgings. He continued to spend the rest of his teenage years there and soon began calling that inn home, even tolerating abuse from the owner; he had no other choice.

When he was old enough, he abandoned the inn, left it all behind and snuck aboard a ship heading to the free world; The United States of America. It was on that ship that he befriended a foreigner named Musa who hailed from the country of Turkey. The man took Samuel under his wing and the two soon opened a small cobbler’s shop in Boston where the two worked to earn an honest living. Things were looking up for Samuel until one day; their shop was raided by members of the mob. Samuel was forced to watch his mentor bludgeoned to death and all their headwork burned to the ground. Angry with the outcome of his hard work, Samuel vowed revenge against the mob. It was then he that he was approached by a man with a strange face; a Contract Demon, a breed of demon distantly related to D'Hoffryn's vengeance demon faction.

He offered Samuel revenge, money, unlimited life, and unlimited power in exchange for his soul; Samuel accepted the offer, from that day onwards, ended his life as a human, and began his life as a Contract Demon. After destroying whatever was left of the mob who had killed the man he knew as a father, he began carrying out the will of his master, finding others like him and offering them ways out in exchange for parts of their soul and life force. He has been approached a few times about working as an ally with the firm Wolfram & Hart, but has thus-far declined the offers.

Character Traits: Flirtatious, Sly, Clever, Quiet, Vengeful, Greedy

As a Contract Demon, Samuel can grant the person whatever they wish; no loopholes. The higher the power of the wish, the higher the number of years the person has to give up.

Open Character: Ethan Casey | Human | Detective | Alignment: Angel Investigations | 43 years old 

FC: Adam Baldwin

Ethan Casey was never fond of playing by the rules and it mostly, if not always, landed him in a lot of trouble. A veteran detective in the Trenton PD with his own, albeit questionable, moral compass, Ethan was known for using excessive methods of getting the information he needed, often resorting to blows if the need arose. After he caught his boss taking a bribe from the local mafia, Ethan resigned from the police force and left his superior with a broken jaw. 

His wife, angered by his decision took his child and left him. Out of a job, with no almost nothing to his name except a grubby apartment, Ethan began searching for an alternative revenue source. He took up a job in the private security network, shadowing corporate bigwigs; he was good at what he did as long as everyone stayed out of his way. Everything changed, however, when a group of vampires attacked his client. Ethan was out of his depth; he’d faced armed robbers, serial killers, and psychopaths, but nothing like this. He would have lost his client along with his life if the vampire known as Angel hadn’t intervened. 

Ethan, surprised by the vampire’s actions, decided to ask him a few questions (after pointing a gun at the vampire's head). In addition to answers, he was offered a job at the vampire’s investigative agency. The fact that a vampire knowingly helped humans in need didn’t sit well with Ethan. It was too good to be true. However, upon setting eyes on Angel Investigations, he realized that Angel was indeed the real deal. He quickly accepted the job. Currently, he works in Angel Investigations as a leading investigator, and, when they need it, some strong muscle.

Open Character: Tommy Delmont | Human | Demon Hunter | Alignment: Neutral | 40 years old

FC: Norman Reedus

At first glance, Tommy doesn’t seem to be much more than your average drifter type; living out of his worn duffel bag and his beat up SUV, crashing at fleabag motels and truck stops, picking up under the table and off the grid jobs as he goes. Add into that his typically shaggy and scruffy appearance, his worn attire, and his southern drawl, and most might not be inclined to pay him any more mind than a wary half study out of the corner out of their eye – and that is exactly how he likes it. Traveling from one side of the country and back again, Tommy has a network of contacts, allies and brokers of information and weapons scattered from one coast to the next that keep him well informed on the supernatural outbreaks, and most times, one step ahead of anything or anybody on his tail whether those threats be more of the law enforcement, or supernatural types. Born into a long line of hunters, while Tommy has nothing more than his own wits and strength to get him through the scrapes and tussles that he finds himself in, he considers his humanity, and the scars that he bears for it, a point of pride. Skirting out of dangerous situations by the skin of his teeth has been something of a life long profession for him, and if it’s taught him anything it’s to appreciate the moments for what they are, and to expect nothing more than what he’s got today. That being said, he’s got himself a girl or two in every port that he does his best to keep satisfied for what little time he tends to be around – which isn’t usually more than a few days here and a few nights there, but with the new situation at hand with the vamps walking around when they shouldn’t be, he’s had to make a semi-permanent stand for himself.

Currently, he’s located in New York, though he still sticks to one night here, one night there, being as old habits die hard. He’s managed to make a few more connections of late with a couple of folks that seem to have more than their fair share of knowledge of what’s going on below and above the radar, and with the whisper of a secret alliance between the rumored but supposedly non-existent S.H.I.E.L.D. agency and the uprising of a multitude of the famed Slayers in the air, he’s got a feeling that things that nothing’s going to be going back to status quo anytime soon.

Character Traits: Street-Smart, Determined, Charming, Cocky, Detached, Loner

Powers & Abilities:

Skilled marksman

Capable hand to hand combatant

Knowledge & experience fighting the supernatural.

Good at blending in and living on the run

Open Character: Elliot Carrow | Human | Detective | Alignment: Angel Investigations | 36 years old

FC: Jonny Lee Miller

Everyone in the LAPD was familiar with the story of Kate Lockley - including Elliot. He had long since told himself that he would not walk in her shoes. Kate had been a bright, young detective. Her father had been a decorated cop before her and even though rumors surrounding his death indicated that he might have played dirty sometimes, it was clear that Kate could have gone far following his examples. Instead, she became obsessed with the supernatural and was eventually fired for allowing her beliefs to conflict with her duties as a police officer. When Elliot's wife Meg went missing, he was determined to find her kidnapper. She was gone for two years and presumed dead, but Elliot refused to give up on her case. There were a lot of late nights, a lot of paperwork and files spread throughout his apartment, and a great deal of alcohol involved but finally he turned up a lead.

Elliot tracked Meg's kidnapper to a drug and human trafficking ring. No other police officer would touch them because they had powerful backers and ties with the law firm Wolfram & Hart who seemed to win every case against them, destroying the reputation of anyone who attempted to prosecute. Elliot didn't care. He was doing this off the books and he was going to find out what happened to Meg. When he arrived there, attempting to infiltrate its ranks, he discovered that the people behind the kidnapping ring weren't people at all. They were vampires. He refused to believe it but he saw their faces change, their eyes turn yellow. He saw bullets have no effect on them and he saw them drink blood. What was worse though was seeing the fact that one of them was Meg herself.

Dissatisfied with Elliot working long hours and barely being home, Meg had met and fallen in love with a vampire. He had turned her and they had staged her death and disappearance together, hoping to spare Elliot the heart ache. In the struggle, Elliot managed to kill both Meg and her sire and escape relatively unscathed. With the head of the drug and human trafficking ring gone, the ring fell apart with the vampires bickered among themselves about who would take over, wiping each other out. Elliot never told anyone on the force what he had seen, but he made a vow to himself to go against the dark forces in the city. Elliot figured it was time to chase up some of Kate's old contacts. He found a card in her one of her case files with the contact details for a man named Angel and his detective agency, Angel Investigations. Elliot was soon transferred to New York City with the rest of his precinct once New York had succumbed to powerful creatures. He was pleasantly surprised to find that Angel Investigations had moved there as well, and his plan could be put in motion again. It was time to establish contact and find a true ally in this fight.
