Alternate Identity: Anya Alessi

Age: 20 (born May 1990; Apparent Age 20)

Gender: Female

Height: 5'5"

Weight: 130 lb.

Eyes: purple

Hair: black with red streaks

Description: Anya has the toned body of a dancer. Her hair is long reaching the top of her back, and she has some tiny braids all though out it. Her eyes are an unusual shade due to her tranformation, but it does make her look more alluring. Her skin is fair and unblemished. Her type of dress is more mute than in her former life, wearing black to blend in with everything.

History: Anya Alessi was born in a small area of Kingston. Her life wasn't much different from other kids her age. While she would talk to people, she never really opened up, like she didn't feel alive. All that changed one day in high school. She met this strange woman who simply passed by her, dropping a flier on the ground next to her. The flier showed a rave that night. People enjoying life there, urging people to come in. It sparked Anya's interest, and that night she came into another world. She felt free, her mind opened, felt alive. It was what she was looking for.

After that night, she felt guilty, seeing what was happening there. However one day, she saw the woman again, this time on the other side of the street, dropping another flier to a rave. This time Anya followed her heart. She embraced the culture, the life it gave, everything. She managed to graduate from high school, if barely. She couldn't go back to the life she once had, the raves we're everything to her now, even if she was disgusted by what she saw and did herself. Her stockbroker parents could care less about what their daughter was doing those nights, supplying her with cash to pay for her excess. As she continued partying, she had lost her zest of vitality that she felt when she first partied, but life was all good for her...

Until that night. She was past her normal time there, but wanted to get on the floor for a bit longer. However, this time her dealer seemed a bit... off to her. She followed him back to a woman who had "better stuff than that man." She entered a room away from all the others to see that the strange woman was the one who "dropped" those fliers in the first place. Anya realized too late that she walked to her death as she was knocked to the ground and felt her blood giving away as she fell unconscious.

As she awoke and pulled herself off of the floor Anya saw her pale reflection in a nearby mirror. Though she tried to deny it, every fiber of her being screamed the truth. To her horror, she had become a creature of the night, a vampire, sired by the woman she believed her new hookup. Rummaging frantically through documents strewn about the room Anya identified the woman as Lilith Bathory, a descendant of Elizabeth Bathory. She also gleamed rudimentary knowledge of Lilith's plan to blanket the world in undeath with an army of vampires bound to her will through necromantic magic.

Anya wondered why she was alone. When she peeked out of the area they were keeping her in, she found out! It looked like a huge battle. A horrifically bloody scene where vampires were ripping and tearing each other apart. Lilith looked like she was pitting one group against another. Was she doing this for fun? Was she being invaded by rival vampires? Anya didn't know. What she did know is that she had to get out of there fast. While Lilith was preoccupied with her war, Anya made her escape.

Anya felt awful about what she saw, what she did, and what she became during those times at the raves, more so than ever before. She wanted to stop Lilith and her army from being finished and assaulting the city.

Personality & Motivation: Her personality can be described in two word: Perky Goth. Her motivation is simple. She looks to stop Lilith's rise to power. She will pay back unto her everything she took from her. She will try to save many lives in the process. She will do what she has to do.

Powers & Tactics: Anya has quite a few powers. Being undead helps her stave off the things that mortals need. She also has fangs, claws and undead flesh to protect herself. Though the really impressive powers are in her undead nature. She can change into anyone, read minds, control emotions, turn invisible or into a gaseous cloud. There's even a few tricks she hasn't learned! Her tactics are to be as sneaky as possible and hit them where it hurts. her powers aid her in this, but she's learned a few tricks ovr the years to be a force on her own.

Complications:

Enemy (Lilith Bathory)

Dependence (Blood)

Ok as per chat!

I will throw a variety of ideas at you. I am afraid I dont know Geek lore on vampires, I am starting from first principles.

The back story is fine, but it is rather specific - related to the Bathory line. I imagine your character will be getting into a lot more scrapes that just those related to that, and in any case sooner or later that will resolve.

Suggestions:

In order to stop this being the cliche of "Seductive Sexy Female Vampire", put a spin on it. E.g. She needs the blood of someone who loves her to survive (so you can have a boyfriend, or other scenarios). Although she can glamour, this wont feed her need. Bingo, conflict and complications.

Possible powers suggestions that are interesting and might drive good stories:

Insubstantial 2 (Gas) Extras: Continuous, Action: Reaction (Strong emotions). So if she gets scared, or loves, she turns to smoke! And therefore can't feed!

Instead of Superstrength a Boost Strength/Superstrength power based on Feeding on somebody who loves her.

Emotion Control, Sense Dependent (Visual or Auditory), her words or hypnotic gaze can inspire emotion in people.

Regeneration: the bonus is helpful but more helpful still would be increasing healing rate. Source is great, and if you would want to make it "Blood of somebody who genuinely loves her" that would probably be a -2 Limitation.

You could look at Morph feat with Metamorph powers into bat / rat / snake / wolf etc. Or, you could have a drawback such as only people she has kissed or something, to make it more interesting. This power might be better outside an array. Also, think of things like her true form is always visible in mirrors.

Concealment to all powers is a bit dull in my opinion. But you could do something like Concealment to Visual senses drawback: can be seen in mirrors (a subversion). Or only to men. Something to spice it up a bit.

I personally think Comprehend is better outside of an array (not efficient at all, just better). Again you could think of flaws and limitations to this, such as needing to have kissed or touched the speaker, or tasted their blood, or something. The same thing might apply to telepathy, needing to taste a drop of the victims blood.

Anyway just a few ideas. I think playing with flaws, complications and drawbacks will make for a much more interesting character and threads.
