Life was fairly normal until she reached adulthood. While walking home one day, a stranger approached her as she crossed the threshold to an alley way. The was a blur and before she knew it, she was being dragged behind a dumpster and her blood was being siphoned from her body. That's all she remembers before waking up in her parent's home and feeling extremely thirsty. Her long, blonde hair was now dark and short. Her eyes were no longer the soft blue they once were but now a crimson red. It was the first thing her family had commented on when she came to but all she cared about was the uncontrollable thirst in her stomach. Her youngest sibling had made the mistake of coming far too close, leaning in for a loving hug, and Maéla quickly ceased the opportunity for a drink. Her teeth sunk deep into her young brother's shoulder. He screamed for their parents, who in turn tried everything they could to pry the young body's frail body from her grasp. Once Maéla was finished, her young brother lay limp within her arms. There was a small sadness for the loss, but she was still rather thirsty. It took every ounce of her strength not to drain the rest of her family then and there as she fled far from the only home she had every known. <br/><br/>For months, Maéla roamed the streets, fully excepting who she was with ease. However, attempting to live a "normal" life among her human counterparts proved to be a daunting task. She frequently attacked lowly strangers and pocketed the money they left behind in their death. As time wore on, Maéla slowly began to learn how to curb her appetite with the scent of garlic, which made her excruciatingly nauseated. It was the only way she knew how to cope with her new lifestyle. <br/><br/>While roaming through the streets and sleeping on a park bench, in the middle of the night, a beam of light shined down right in front of her, starting her from her sleep. The light was bright and remained vertical, beaming straight into the sky as far her eye could see. It radiated heat and warmth, but within it a simple key and her invitation to ORUMM. The beam didn't speak but she understood, within her mind, that she was wanted because of her instincts of survival but her ability to create illusions to assist her in life. Not all vampire had extra, magical powers, at least from what the beam told her and she was "special." Maéla was wanted to be a part of somewhere to learn how to control her powers and urges. With nowhere else to go, Maéla accepted the offer. <br/><br/><strong>Birthplace</strong> - Germany<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Appearance Section</strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Age</strong> - Young Adult<br/><strong>Gender</strong> - Female<br/><strong>Race</strong> - Vampire (Newborn)<br/><strong>Sexual preferences</strong> - Men<br/><strong>F-list/Kinks</strong> - See O/o thread. (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=298784.msg14616038#msg14616038)<br/><strong>Turn-Offs</strong> - See O/o thread. (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=298784.msg14616038#msg14616038)<br/><strong>Species</strong> - As a vampire, Maéla thrives off blood to survive. She can eat other foods but (due to being a newborn) it tends to make her sick. Eventually (as she progresses through the school/story) she will be able to learn to control the vile sensations of consuming other substances besides blood so that she can blend into a "normal" society. Maéla can not turn into a bat (although some other vampires may be able to.) Garlic is nauseating to vampires and can be extremely poisonous in vast consumption. It dulls Maéla's senses completely and makes her weak. The sun also dull her powers and burns her skin. If in the sun for too long, it can be fatal. A werewolf's bite can also be fatal. Maéla had to be invited into places before she can step foot into them. The invitation can be denounced. Vampires can not be harmed by sword, daggers, blades unless they are made with iron or silver (which isn't normally made in weapons). Vampires also have superhuman strength, speed, and agility. <br/><strong>Species special abilities</strong>: Animal control (active), Hypnosis (passive), and Reanimation (passive, reanimated corpse comes back to life as a vampire) <br/><strong>Physical Appearance</strong> - Maéla stands at 5 foot 7 inches. She had long legs and a shorter torso. Her frame is slim/thin. Her eyes are a bright red that stand out against palm, chalky skin. Her skin is usually cold to the touch. Her hair was once blonde and extremely long but now it is very dark, black, and short, no longer than the bottom of her shoulder and cups her face. Her skin is perfect, free from scars or any other blemishes, to include any birth marks. <br/><strong>Clothes</strong> - Maéla only wears dark, black clothes to help protect her against the sun. She's usually in long sleeved sweaters and long pants. She had a black cloak with a silk red lining on the inside, accompanied by a hood to help over her face when needed. <br/><strong>Personality</strong> -  The more Maéla succumbed to the blood lust and acceptance of being a vampire, the more distant she became from all ethical and moral values she once had and cherished. As time wore on, Maéla lost all sense of "good" and "evil" and the only thing that seems to matter to her now is her survival. She cares little for other's feelings and came come off rude or blunt. Maéla in very interested in learning new things especially if it will help her become a better power and hone her newfound, magical powers. Maéla rarely feels "sadness" anymore and has a difficult time trying to process it. Unknowingly, Maéla has cut off the emotion for sadness after she couldn't bare to think about what she had done to her brother and her family. The emotion either comes off as humor or anger, depending on the situation. <br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Combat Section</strong></span><br/><br/><strong>Weapon(s)/Equipment</strong> -<br/>You are allowed one each of the following: Staff (Does not have at the beginning of the game and will be obtained through her courses in school), Grimoire (again, Maéla does not start off with item), and a sun-resistance ring (Not obtained yet).<br/><strong>Abilities</strong> - Manipulation of Illusions - Maéla can manipulate what people/beings see, even though it may not be reality. <br/>Manipulation of Vibrations - Maéla controls vibrations by manipulating the sound waves around her.
