The Maverick ~ Vampire
Weapon
Age: Estimated to be over 500 years old
Veil name: Maverick
Not much is known of Maverick prior to his capture by the
Order of Mages in the late 1500s. Over the centuries has
become a key weapon in the Mage's arsenal against the forces
of the Dark Star. The magic that controls him is very powerful
and very old, using the nearly lost art of Mage Seal magic,
a power that only Din Tau, once head of the order, truly
understands. Maverick is unique among vampires in both his
range of abilities and immense power. It is said that he
is truly immortal among vampires and that he cannot be killed
and that is why he was captured. He displays the normal
tell tale signs of a type B infection, ( red eyes, pointed
ears.) but his power is more like that of a mature old gen.
The seals on him currently alter him from his original appearance
and restrain his power. As well the mages have given him
special claws and key items on his coat allow his controller
to remotely view whatever he sees and hears as well as speak
with him telepathically.
Relationships
Friends with John Sterling ( in the past )
Crush on Schala
Enemies with Pretty much everyone
Alliances with Din Tau
creators notes
: Maverick was originally proposed to me by a friend in
a short story. Since then the character has become something
completely different, the only thing retaining being the
name. He's become a very interesting villian to me and continues
to evolve with the story.
John Sterling ~ The 15th Kinsmir
Age: 500 years +
Veil name: Sterling, Kinsmir
John's history prior to when he became a Kinsmir is largely
lost to anyone save him. Rumor has it he was part of a gypsy
group of Slayers prior to the Veil in the late 1400s. He
apparently used to be friends with Maverick prior to his
capture by mages and knows Schala as well. John became a
kinsmir shortly after the first major outbreak of LTV B
in europe. He was the only one to survive the cleansing
that destroyed the other 14 Kinsmir. He vanished until recently
where he has returned to seemingly aid Ferrah, the 16th
Kinsmir. Why is anyone's guess.

Crush on He's not saying.. Kasha will eat his ear.
Enemies with Maverick, Din Tau, and many many others
Alliances with Ferrah.
creators notes:
John is actually based on a real person that I know. He's
actually developed into something of a fan favorite for
his badassedness. I'm thinking that him, Maverick and Schala
may get their own comic.
Kasha is an ancient creature known as a Darkling. The originate
from the first attack ever done by the Darkstar and are
speculated to be fragments of the Star itself. Normally
they are quite evil and selfish beings living only to cause
misery, corrupt or kill the creatures of gaia. Kasha is
somewhat different than most Darkling largely due to her
relationship with John. She provides a very useful service
to him and as a result of their close bond, has changed
her nature somewhat. She's still very violent and often
very selfish, but she has come to be able to control herself
more for the sake of another and has learned to care about
someone other than herself.

creators notes:
Kasha, like sterling is based on a real person, although
the real person is not quite as violent or possessive she
does possess some similar qualities of the cat character.
Din Tau ~ The Renegade Mage
Age: exact age is unknown, but he is speculated
to be over 100 years old.
Veil name: The Seal Mage. Tau, The Tiger
Din Tau was once the First of the Order,
and had been for quite some time before he suddenly up and
supposedly died. When it was discovered that he had faked
his death and had violated several of the orders rules by
both leaving, faking his death, and covering his body in
forbidden mystic tattoos, the order tried to stop him, once.
They failed horribly and as such have left Tau alone, content
simply to follow his movements for now. Tau is unchallenged
and is still widely ( if in hushed tones) regarded as the
most powerful mage on the planet. Tau seems to be working
to his own designs now, using his powerful magic and mage
connections to his own ends.

creators notes
: Din Tau is probably what you could call the primary antagonist
in Shifters. He's got a the skinny on what the whole story
is going to eventually boil down to and he means to mess
with fate. You can bet when he shows up, big things are
going down.
