Welcome to Gaia! ::

In the United States, there are four powerful Houses; Resting places for four master vampires and their accepted children. There are more then the four I speak of, but they are small, insignifigant, and likley soon to be demolished. The four houses are named Aliexi, Juno, Pietrei, and Lirrange, all named in part for their masters. Each house holds new and old vampires from al times and countries. Most of the vampires are born from the master or upper level vampire of the house they now serve, but in the case of rouges, they go to where they are taken.

The four houses have an interesting relationship. They are allies, but have set forth rules all four houses must obey, if they do not, the other three houses will relish in tearing apart the house until nothing remains. In the past it was not this way, but it had cost so many of their kind, the masters changed the rules.

There are houses belonging to masters outside of the United States, but they do not often enter the borders, so the contact is through letters.

Houses are ussually large mansions, though in the case of Juno house, the master and his/her strongest friends, servants and unstable new comers reside in the main mansion while the rest live in a nearby large apartment complex of plush rooms.

::Name:: Julliana
::Age:: Julliana was born May of 1432, making her to date five hundred and seventy-five years, though she only appears a youthful twenty-two, though she was an old woman then.
::Gender:: Female
::Appearance:: Pale in life, Julliana is ‘freakishly’ pale in death. Her eyes are a bright yet eerie violet, something that caused her a lot of trouble until she was bitten in her ‘old age’. Her hair is the color of dark rust, a mix of brown and red that pools down to her hips in assorted styles. Julliana stands at five foot six, her body a smooth selection of curves. She dresses as she pleases, but always wears a pair of silver earrings that curl all the way around the top and lobe of her ears in a vine and wing like pattern. She is nearly immune to the silver having worn it for so long, but there are scars along both ears to show that she wasn’t before.
::Status:: Master vampire, the founder of the house of Juno.
::House:: Juno
::Biography:: As a live one, Julliana was insignificant, she was born, she lived, got married, had a few kids and died. Sort of. Before she took her last breath, a vampire came to her and gave her another life. Time bled and once she had killed her maker she climbed the ladder until she became a master vampire. In her middle years she created the house of Juno and quickly filled the halls.
Julliana has a decent relationship with the other masters, not that they buddy up or go out for a feeding, but they do speak on less hostile terms then their children.

::Name:: Lucia
::Age:: Born in 1683, Lucia is three hundred and twenty-four years old, though when she was turned, she was not yet ten years of age.
::Gender:: Female
::Appearance:: Standing at roughly four foot nine, Lucia is beauty diminutized and a little insane. She is of spanish background and thus has dark thick hair that falls in thick curls down her small back and is pinned back from her olive colored eyes. As a human her skin was a beautiful silky tone that was tanned by the outside sun. Now her skin is pale with no remanats of her once glorious skin color, while her skin and eyes are the same deep color. She wears childish colors when out in public, but will on occasion wear small sized adult clothing.
::Status:: High level vampire
::House:: Juno
::Biography:: Lucia was the daughter of a wealthy and important man, and on one occasion one of her father's associates happened to be the vampire who bit her, and killed all but her elder brother who was not at the house. She spent a lot of time with him, even though the man was a sick monster. Julliana found her and killed him, taking Lucia with her and taking proper care of the damamged and powerful vampire.

[: x :]::Username:: Rinel Underwood
::Name:: Kira
::Age:: Just past the 100 year mark. She looks to be around nineteen
::Gender:: female
::Appearance:: Kira. She stands at five foot seven. Her skin is chalk white, her eyes a dark red. Her hair falls to her waist in black, waving tendrils. She always wears black, from her boots to her gloves, and almost always leather. She has a lighter and gun on her at all times, loaded with silver bullets.
::Status:: Guard of the house
::House:: Juno. Unknown Sire.
::Biography:: Kira died in 1913. She was from a middle to upper class family, but most of her large family died on the maiden voyage of the Titanic. She managed to survive the rescue... but ended up in America with no family, no money, and no hope. About ten months later, she was in New York. A cold winter night, she decided to visit the Hudson... was planning to throw herself in and end it all. She couldn't remember, but she thought she did. She woke up, though, in a back alley some distance away. She was cold as ice, her eyes were red, she was a vampire. It took her a while to figure it out. Nobody was there to teach her, after all. Many New Yorkers died before somebody from the house of Juno found her.
But, somebody did find her, and they took her in. They taught her self control, taught her what being a vampire meant. The years flew past. Kira learned to fight very quickly. Plus.... she had an ability vampires did not normally have... Pyrokinetics. Vampire's enemy, and she could control and create it. Sure, fire hurt her too, but she had the power all the same. It made her an invaluable asset to the household. Kira is still a bit young by vampire standards, just clearing her first century, but she's loyal and strong, as well as serious to boot.

[: x:]::Username:: Arachna Blackrose
::Name:: Verin
::Age:: She's around three hundred and fifty years old, however, she looks to be in her early twenties, at best.
::Gender:: Female
::Appearance:: Her skin is extremely pale, almost completely white, with eyes of fiery orange. Her long hair is mostly blonde, though streaked with crimson in several places, and usually worn in a long braid. As for clothing; she wears a pair of dark blue pants, which are cut off just below her thigh, and attached by a series of small leather belts, to a set of pant-legs of the same color, starting at her knees. These flare out to cover most of her dark brown boots. A large belt hangs from her right hip and droops loosely over her left. A golden-brown corset, laced up the front, outlines her curved waist, and stops just below her ample chest. Underneath the corset, is a white, square-necked blouse, the sleeves of which are cut off at the shoulder, attaching to longer sleeves in the same fashion as her pants. On each hand, she wears a black, open-fingered glove. Around her neck is a black choker, as well as what looks like a silver chain--though it isn't really silver, since there area no scars left from it. The pendant attached to this chain, however, comes just below the neckline of her blouse, preventing anyone besides herself from knowing what exactly it is. She dressed this way during her life, and continues to do so even after being turned.
::Status:: High Level Vampire
::House:: Juno--her sire remains unknown.
::Biography:: Verin was born a human in 1657, to a family that owned a tavern, of all things. She worked there much of her human life, helping out as a waitress. One night they had a guest, who seemed to take interest in the young woman. Being the curious girl she was, she went with him, only to end up getting bitten by the rogue vampire. She left her home after that, traveling from place to place until she finally found a place that would accept her as a permanent resident--house Juno. She did not stay upon her first encounter with the house, first seeking her revenge on the one that turned her into what she was.

She never did find her sire, eventually giving up on revenge and returning to her fellow vampires, where she has remained ever since. She holds out for the day she can rip out the throat of the one that created her, though doubts it will ever actually happen. However, there is always a chance, and she grasps firmly to it, in the back of her mind.

Night had risen and in a small room on the west side of the house something on the bed stirred. The bed was a large four poster, large enough to fit four adults comfortably, but it belonged to a small youth, only appearing the age of nine. The youthful girl lay on the bed, curled to her right side as if she slept, but before the sun had set there were no breath from her lungs. There was no breath now, however that seemed not to bother the girl as she opened her dark eyes to gaze at the thick fabric that hung from the posts of her bed's frame. Slowly, as if she were tired, the girl, in this time and place called Lucia, reached out and pulled away he curtain to a dark room. The covers of the windows were closed tightly, to let no light through during the day, and the rest of the room was painted a soft lavender with white and lime trim. An armoire and small desk were all that accompanied the bed in the room, though there was room for more. Lucia climbed out of her bed, small bare feet touching the wood floor gently, with human like tentativeness. Her hair was untouseled and fell from her face in near perfection.

Julliana looked up as Kira walked into the lounge, already dressed and armed to the teeth. The thought made her smile, having found it slightly comical. Upon hearing Kira's question she shook her head. "The sources don't report any unusual behavior then yesterday, though we may have some teenagers wandering about the woods twoard the edge of the city, something to celebrate I belive. Though if we do find them, you know the rules." Julliana said softly, not to be threatening Kira. She trusted all who lived in her house, with the exception of the newly turned, only a few years old and oh so out of control few who had to stay in the house to keep the rest of the world safe.

Julliana shook her head. "With the kids about I wanted to keep the fun a little mellow tonight, try not to attract their attention. They should be gone by one in the morning, so after then we can... fire things up." She grinned at Kira, knowing how active she enjoyed being and how the lack of plans would make her more inclined to be active. "Lucia might be persueded to do something, though as you know, it can'y be clubbing, the poor dear can't pass as anything but a child."

"It doesn't stop mortals from trying to give me things." a soft and angelic voice called from the stairs. Quickly, withvery little sound, Lucia decended the steps and ran giggling over to the other two vampires, sliding on the floor and stopping right between the other women. she stopped and grinned up at them, showing her tiny fangs and drak eyes filled with mirth.
