Manhattan and Brooklyn are like a busy cities, day and night people walk the side walks to and from work, shops, resteraunts, and other places. Police sirens shriek as police cars cut their way through wall-to-wall traffic; during all this fuss a secret war between two of the largest and oldest vampire clans are warring. Trench's clan and Spot Conlon's Clan. The vampire war has been going on for over two hundred years, no vampire remembers how or why it started; few think of peace, others wanting to continue fighting in memory of those close to them they lost in the war. The only thing that is remembered of the war is that whichever clan's leader wins is crowned King of the Vampires.
Character Explanations:
Trench: Trench is a 400 year old vampire who leads his clan; he is a man-whore and sleeps with nearly every woman he comes in contact with. He is smooth talking, he rarely shows anger or annoyance; he is aways seen smoothing out imanginary wrinkles on his suit. Along with running his vampire clan he is also the leader of a large gang in Manhattan, some call him the "Al Capone of New York." How he keeps his secret so well that he is a vampire from the human gangsters still has his vampires very, very amazed. If you want to know what Trench looks like, simply look up Maurice Benard or Sonny Corinthos.
Jo: Jo is a beautiful curly-raven haired green eyed woman. She is smart, cunning, quick on her feet, and extremely tough. She and her sister are two of Trench's best vampires and who can get the job done when others can't. Jo is gorgeous but has no idea of just how beautiful she is, Trench is always after her to become his mate (wife), each time she refuses. She is usually seen wearing total black, some times she is also seen camoflauge pants. She is rarely seen without her long black leather ankle lengthed jacket. Jo is not my character, she is owned by Chocolate Covered Jockey. Check out her story, "Take Me or Leave me." Jo likes Jack a lot, but she also misses her original home in Port Royal.
Floaty: Floaty is Jo's sister, the two are the same age (22), Jo is older than Floaty by a minute. Floaty is a kind, tough, and intellegent woman, like her sister she is quick on her feet. She is also the only Wizardess-Vampire known to Vampire-Kind. When Trench was turning Floaty into a vampire she nearly died, Trench knowing a powerful wizard, asked the wizard to heal her, which he did. He also accidently gave Floaty the powers of a wizard and soon had to teach her how to use the powers. Floaty is a bit distant and known to be the "crazy vampire," but really she's very sane. She uses the rumor to her advantage from time to time though. Floaty has firey curly red hair, dark brown eyes, she looks a lot like Kristen Dunst. She's usually seen wearing black pants, a black tight shirt, and an ankle lengthed dark blue jacket that looks like something Barbossa would wear. She carries a wizard's staff, and keeps a wand in her pocket, she also keeps a bracelet that has shields etched into it on her wrist, she is also known to wear a fedora at times. Floaty has a large crush to Spot and usually goes out of her way to avoid fighting him. (Yes too all Dresden Files Fans, she is based quite a bit off of Dresden in this story. Long Live Harry Dresden!)
Spot Conlon: Spot is the leader of his clan, unlike Trench who is power hungry, Spot wishes every day for peace. His face looks older a bit wearier thanks to this vampire-war that's been going on for hundreds of years. Spot is a good, fair, and tough leader, he is also a good friend and does all he can to protect his vampires; he always hopes that Trench will one day to come to his senses and want peace. Spot is usually seen a dark blue turtle neck; black jeans; black ankle lengthed boots that are like combat boots; and a long black leather trench coat thats pockets are filled with weapons of all kinds; around his waist (like all male and female vampires in both clans) he wears a belt that holds two pistols, extra bullets, daggers, and a sword. He has a large crush on Floaty, he's only met her once or twice on neutral grounds but likes her a lot. (Little does he know the feeling is mutual.)
Jack Kelly: Jack is Spot's second in command, like Spot he will do anything to protect the vampires in Spot's clan. Jack is quick on his feet, extremely strong, a bit of a clown at times (especially in times when comic relief is needed), but a good loyal friend, and strong fighter. He is seen usually wearing tight dark black jeans, a black t-shirt, and a leather black ankle lengthed trench coat. When he goes into the neutral territory he wears denim jeans, brown cowboy boots, a western themed t-shirt, a brown vest, and a bandana he wears around his neck, he is also seen with a cowboy hat at times. Jack also has a large crush on Jo and spends time with her on netural ground.
Skittery: Skittery is in Spot's clan, Skitts is the technical person in Spot's clan, he searches the internet for anything useful that Spot could use to end the vampire war, but also things that Spot wants or needs for either himself or his vampires. Skitts comes with the other vampires when they need to steal something, or need to fight Trench's vampires, at times, otherwise he stays back at Spot's mansion which is at the very end of Brooklyn, when seeing Spot's mansion one has to wonder: am I still in Brooklyn? Skitts is usually seen wearing a loose pair of dark denim jeans, sneakers, and a band t-shirt. When he's out with the other vampires he wears a tight black t-shirt, black jeans and black combat boots, and a black ankle lengthed trench coat.
Kid Blink: Kid Blink is in Trench's clan, and like Skittery is the technical vampire. He's kind, sweet, a little shy, and wears a brown eye patch over his left eye that was blinded by daylight a long time ago. He likes to tell jokes, and be a good friend to all vampires around him, he's not too fond of Trench though. His two best friends are Jo and Floaty. He's usually seen wearing dark denim blue jeans or capris, sneakers or sandals, t-shirts, open button down shirts over his over shirts, and much more, he's very eclectic. Unlike Skitts he doesn't go along on fights or when to steal something, Trench doesn't want to take any chances on losing him.
Bullet: Bullet is a tall, muscular man whose both one of Trench's gangsters and a half vampire (making it so he can go out in the day time). He's not as serious about the vampire war as full blooded vampires are; he's usually seen dressed in leather black pants and boots, a dark grey t-shirt, and a black silver studded vest. On his hands he wears biker gloves. He has short curly black hair, and dark brown eyes, his left arm is filled with tattoos up and down. Along with being a half vampire and gangster he's also a biker. He's an adrenaline junkie and loves fighting in the vampire war and being one of Trench's gangsters. He's always hitting on Floaty and hoping one day she'll say yes to him.
Star Gazer- Star Gazer is Trench's second in command, one would easily confuse him for Orlando Bloom's twin brother. Star Gazer is a tough but kind man, he's very shy around women he's interested in dating, like a few other vampires in his clan he wishes for peace, though never says this out loud to Trench. Star Gazer is seen wearing expensive suits, though not as expensive as Trench's, and usually stays out of the fighting. When he does have to fight in the vampire war or help steal something he wears black jeans, black ankle lengthed boots, a dark grey t-shirt, a belt that holds a long sword, and a few pistols, he also carries dead man's blood that is deadly to all vampires; why he chances his own health by even having the stuff is unknown to anyone. He secretly has a large crush on Jo but only blushes when he passes by or says hello to her.
