Schala ~ The Ancient
One
Age: Unknown
Veil name: Schala
Schala's exact history is a mystery to most, but those who
have done the research on her have found evidence to support
that she was once a romanian noble woman who has disappeared
and reappeared periodically throughout history. She appears
on outset to resemble any new generation vampire, however
her power and demeanor do not suggest that she is. She commands
a huge respect from any B vampire she meets, even Old Generation
vampires are wary of her and have been known to attack her
from time to time with significant force. All such attacks
have failed miserably. In recent years she has been known
to be operating with Nikki Holland and acts as both a guide,
protector, and companion. Although her motivations for agreeing
to aid the youth are unknown.

Enemies with Maverick, Old generation vampires

creators notes
: Schala was James' creation. Since then, I've kind of run
with her as best I could. She actually kind of fit in really
well with other things I developed for the world. She's
very old and very wise, but she has quite a plethora of
her own demons. Although her goals are not really very clear,
she certainly cares a lot and so bears a lot of guilt for
not only what she has done, but what all vampires have done
to humanity.
Raven~ The Wereraven
Age: Unknown. Estimated to be thirty something.
Veil name: Raven
Raven is a mystery. His origins are unknown, his motivations
are unknown, hell even the side he's on is unknown most
of the time. The only thing that is known is that he is
an informant, and a very VERY good one. Neither the shifters
nor vampires like or trust him, but both purchase his services
or the services of his 'chums'. Raven is known to be in
contact with several groups of werecorvids that provide
information for any and all who can pay the price. Raven,
while being something of an mercenary, does seem to have
an agenda of his own. He currently works with Alice Sherry
of his own free will. Why? Perhaps out of guilt, or perhaps
he has a thing for her. Raven is an honorable sort, but
a scoundrel none the less.
Relationships
Friends with no one in particular
Crush on who knows
Enemies with Ben, John, Din Tau
Alliances with Kat, Schala, anyone who can meet his price
for a time
creators notes:
Raven was a secondary character that kinda took on a life
of his own. He's growing with the story, which is kind of
cool.
Vince ~ The 'Boss' Age:
Fourty Something
Veil name: Vamp Squad P.I., Boss
Vince is the self styled, bishonen type 'Boss' of the Vamp
Squad P.I. He is generally very focused on his work, although
is vain and very pretty boy. He has a partner, Piotr, and
knows that his partner has less than platonic feelings for
his boss, but Vince feels he has no time for romantic distractions
in his pursuit of the truth.
Relationships
Friends with Piotr
Crush on Himself
Enemies with Ferrah and the gang
Alliances with People who pay them
creators notes:
Vince is another one of James' creations. Actually, the
whole Vamp Squad thing was his idea. I'm struggling with
keeping these guys at the same kind of level they were.
If they stick around, they will probably evolve from their
original incarnation. On a side note, James is intending
to do his own comic thing with Vince and Piotr, however
it will not be based in the Shifters mythology.
Piotr ~ The 'Sidekick'
Age: Fifty Something
Veil name: Piotr, Vamp Squad P.I.
Its no secret that Piotr has a huge crush
on his boss Vince and as such forgoes his normally very
logical self for the love of his object of affection. Its
clear that Piotr knows a lot more than he's letting on and
seems to be happy to let Vince lead the way as he follows
behind.. to admire his behind.. *coughs * yeah.

Kaylie ~ The Younglie Age:
Appears to be about 14, is really about 100.
Veil name: Kaylie
Kaylie is a rather eccentric
vampire. A younglie she was turned before she really hit
puberty, but she's fully mature mentally. She acts like
a ditz, cute, and young, but in reality she's quite crafty,
calculating, and experienced in everyway imaginable, having
survived as a younglie for so long. She possesses some abilities
that are quite rare for a younglie to have including the
ability to fly and to create solid shadow appendages which
she uses to kill people she doesn't like.
Relationships
Friends with Ferrah
Crush on Ferrah
Enemies with almost all vampires, shifters and espi.

notes: Kaylie was something James came up with and
the character is shot in the head in Issue 12.
