<div class="floatleft">(http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m343/Nixie24_1238/vampirePhoeni-1.jpg)</div><br/><strong>Name</strong>: Alikama (last name has been lost, even to her)<br/><br/><strong>Race</strong>: Vampire<br/><br/><strong>Visual Age</strong>: 24<br/><br/><strong>Actual Age</strong>: 832<br/><br/><strong>Appearance</strong>: Alikama has always been a very beautiful being. Her straight black hair, belying her East Indian roots, reaches straight to her lower back, full and lustrous. Standing at five feet seven inches tall in stocking feet, she wouldn't stand out height-wise against others, but the way in which she carries her curvacious frame would bring plenty of attention. Her eyes almost glow a sharp hazel, like a cat's, and her face holds perfectly symmetrical angles. After years of life as an other-worldly being, she's developed a predatory look to her, her facial features growing sharper.<br/>Over her legs, hips, even up to her back, she is covered in odd tattoos. Most wouldn't know what any of them mean, but they are all incredibly intricate.<br/><br/><strong>Affiliation</strong>: Demon<br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Alikama is very firm in what she wants. She prefers not to dirty herself with fighting when she can gain food, or belongings through a show of her body to enthrall, or even going so far as to get someone into bed. It is rare for her to show emotions when with anyone but Omen, but she does have them. They just aren't always good. It's never bad when she shows anger, but if she smiles or acts overly sweet towards anyone, again other than Omen, there is reason to fear.<br/><br/><strong>Back story</strong>: Born well before AW, Alikama was everything a parent would warn their children against. She was the middle child, and constantly dismissed. She chose to make herself known the best way possible. She started smoking very early, ignored her studies and could be found at the grimiest, most disgusting pubs in her town. Her parents, fairly wealthy, from old money, never wanted to admit that such a child was theirs.<br/><br/>When Alikama was only sixteen, she ran away, taking a good portion of her family's safe. With all the money, she was able to easily slip into France and make her way fairly un-noticed Spain.<br/><br/>Once in Spain, the young woman was able to make a clean start doing something she loved, having sex with men, this time for money. She had found an amazing brothel, one that lent a lot to the illusion that it was a glamorous lifestyle. For her, it was.<br/><br/>One day, man by the name of Barsello showed up, after she'd been at the brothel a number of years. He was taken by her beauty almost instantly. After he'd come back more than twice, Alikama knew that she had him, he would do almost anything for her. This was proven when he came back after being gone a while and killed her.<br/><br/>She woke up a different being, taken over by the vampire blood that had been given to her. She was something powerful right from the start. She and Barsello took care of everyone in the brothel, enjoying a feast that they would talk about for days. Her pimps and the other working girls gave Alikama the strength that she needed to make something amazing out of herself. The relationship with Barsello only lasted long enough for them to get to a small Eastern European town before she'd had enough of him. She quickly disposed of him in the best way she could think of at the time. She tied him to the four posters of a bed and opened the window. That had freed her to be who she'd been born to be.<br/><br/>The next few years were slow, her getting by as she could. While posing as a nun in the Americas, she met the person she was meant to be with forever. The only problem was that he was a human. But that was easily changed. One night, she took the final leap and turned him into something like her.<br/><br/>They traveled far and long, picking up others as they went, but always looking for their next opportunity.<br/>
