He’s Japanese, which is evident in the way that he dresses when visiting Deveraux. He's almost always wearing traditional robes and kimono. There is only one occasion Dev can remember where he wore regular clothing, and it quite a few decades ago.<br/><br/>The two met when Deveraux's parents moved into the countryside of the coastal town, and the new family and Sadame got along swimmingly. The fact of the matter was that Sadame had spent his life alone up to that point, and appreciated the company. <br/><br/>Deveraux was very young (for a demon) when he moved away from his hometown and spent his first few years isolated and working for his parents. Dev was the person who taught Sadame how to drive, and their romance began then. They spoke a lot about each other's pasts and histories. It took quite some time for Deveraux to coax Sadame into becoming intimate, but he eventually succeeded.<br/><br/>It’s unknown how often Sadame and Deveraux actually sleep together, mostly because when Sadame visits, it’s to check on his slaves and make sure that they’re not plotting to kill Dev. Sadame is also Dev’s best friend, and very often when he comes over it’s to share a spot of tea. <br/><br/>Sadame has five slaves of his own who are also Japanese, but they usually are only seen on special occasions. The two are so close that they have keys to each others’ homes and are welcome to visit even  when the other isn’t at home. Sadame’s slaves even call Deveraux ‘Master’. He’s often the objective party and sometimes mediates disputes between Dev and his slaves, and he’s known for getting Dev out of trouble—usually financial. He’s responsible for Deveraux learning how to speak Japanese effectively.</div></div><br/><div align="center">(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c5/velvetkitsune/SexyNatasha.png)<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva;">Natasha</span></span></strong></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Natasha is Deveraux's favorite pleasure slave at the brothel that he used to frequent, called Oscars. She only knows a enough English to get by and speaks with a broken Turkish accent. Knowing that Dev comes from a wealthy family, she wanted Deveraux to buy her, so that she would be released from the business that she was sold into. On one occasion, Sadame paid her owner to allow the girl to say a weekend at Deveraux's mansion with him--this was before he had purchased any slaves--and she gave no indication that it was an unpleasant stay.</div></div><br/><div align="center">(http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/6769/angelinela.png)<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva;">Angeline</span></span></strong></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Angeline is a very feisty woman who knows what she wants. She's very dominant. She likes dogs, and rescues them frequently. When asked, Deveraux's detailed that she's had up to twenty dogs at one time, and her home is built for their convenience more so than her own. When she visited she brought six of her own, and immediately took a liking to Julius, asking Dev if he would be willing to let her have him. She treats her men like she treats her dogs--which is surprisingly well, but she expects her every whim to be obeyed at the drop of a hat--or serious consequences are going to be faced. She has a firm hand, and doesn't mind punishing either Canine or Human.</div></div><br/><div align="center">(http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/8173/blossomn.png)<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva;">Blossom</span></span></strong></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Not much is known about Blossom, because Dev is usually speaking with her over the phone. She is the woman who runs the Ranch that Deveraux's horses are being cared for in, and she had not made a direct appearance at the manor yet. She's easily recognizable because of her pink hair. Dev's eager to please her because he'd be screwed if he lost her business partnership.</div></div><br/><div align="center">(http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/3395/sharla.png)<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva;">Shar</span></span></strong></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Shar was one of Deveraux's (current) closest lovers. He was purchased by Dev, a slave, but it didn't take long at all for Dev to fall for the gentle Angel. Despite being attracted to Shar by looks, Deveraux loved putting a smile on the slave's face. He could tell at certain moments that Shar'd had a difficult past (and Shar shared a bit of the surface information with him, pertaining to his previous masters) and he had been looking forward to getting to know Shar better, actually figuring out what he had been through. Deveraux spent his whole relationship with Shar under the impression that he was simply human who had been abused, gifted with song--and when he discovered something personal about Shar (that he was capable of magic) it turned out to be their last moment together. Deveraux is still sensitive over Shar's death (very sensitive).</div></div><br/><div align="center">(http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/3469/lucianla.png)<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva;">Luciani Yale</span></span></strong></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">A man who seemed to drop into Deveraux's life unexpectedly. Of higher birth than him, Dev finds himself captivated by a man who pursues him openly rather than the other way around. Of course, it would follow that Lucian is a Lycan Lord with his own pack. Deveraux and Lucian haven't dated for a long time, and tend to have an on-and-off type quality to their relationship. Despite their unions seeming the product of built up passion, Deveraux really does admire Lucian for being able to run a much more hectic estate than he does, and looks up to him in some ways.</div></div><br/><div align="center">(http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/170/28253.png)<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva;">Jade Curtiss</span></span></strong></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Despite the fact that Deveraux insists that they've been lovers for a very long time, it appears that something or another have kept him and Jade from pursuing their relationship during recent times, although he has not hinted at or divulged what it is. Jade is a military man, neat and courteous at all times in public, although in closed quarters it is another story. He is known best for his wry and oftentimes cruel wit, which manifests as myriad side commentary spoken in a nonchalant manner. The man seems to hold no interest in slaves, nor in spending time with Deveraux in his home, which is exemplified by the fact that his very first appearance was with Deveraux at Lucian Yale (http://s4.zetaboards.com/lifeofserving/topic/7994302/) and Dinah Anderson's (http://s4.zetaboards.com/lifeofserving/topic/7979464/1/) engagement party...</div></div><br/><div align="center">(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/1282/cherriela.png)<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva;">Cherrie Hanko</span></span></strong></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">A woman with of expensive taste.

They used to be lovers a few years ago, until he discovered that Randall had a wife and children. Dev has since wiped his hands of Randall (he doesn't condone cheating in any sense.), but the human continues to hang about, asking for favors--he considers Deveraux an escape from his marriage, physically now that Dev refuses his sexual advances, and every once in a while requests to stay at the manor while he and his wife are having problems. Deveraux does not always accommodate him, but for reason unknown to Dev, Randall continues to visit and call.</div></div><br/><div align="center">(http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/9117/modridla.png)<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva;">Modrid Brennan</span></span></strong></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">First introduced to Deveraux as a slave, Modrid had been seen merely as a slave of Lucian's and a victim to the schemes of Draiton Ieshitah's cruel demonic family. She had been kind enough to repay the kindness of Deveraux allowing her to stay in his manor with breakfast.<br/><br/>When they next saw each other, she was dying. Both she and her cousin, Brinley O'Connor, had been poisoned during the (faux) engagement party of Lucian Yale and Dinah May Anderson. Shar helped save the day, but at the cost of his own life. By the same token, Modrid also lost her relative.<br/><br/>Freed by Lucian, Modrid was working at the Master's Club when the two saw each other again, and without impending danger keeping their attentions elsewhere the two were finally able to notice the sparks hovering between them. Deveraux has been courting her since.<br/><br/>The two share a difficult relationship, considering that she is a vampire who cannot function during the day. Their time together is typically limited, but Deveraux makes a conscientious effort to <em>create</em> time for her. He considers her to be very special, and he recognizes her needs and wishes to cater to them. Modrid has shown him that she can be kind and loving, but he frets often about her emotional availability. To remedy his worries, he's assured himself that their relationship is just developing slowly due to the time they spend apart.</div></div><br/><div align="center">(http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n149/wildchildzoom/imagesCA1FT6W5.jpg)<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva;">Draiton</span></span></strong></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Dratz is the vampire that crash landed in Dev's life rather unexpectedly. Although initially deterred by Dee's appearance and mannerisms, the rugged personality and lack of attachment to things that Dev considered as somewhat constricting in his own life was rather alluring. Despite meaning for their relationship to be a very disjointed short-term one, they've developed feelings for each other and Deveraux hasn't seen fit to dissolve his relationship with Dee. Dev sees potential in the dejected vampire, and has gone through great strides to see that he's given the chance to do what he was not able to when younger, including sponsoring Dratz through school (although not many others know this outside of Sadame). At the moment, Deveraux is engaged to Dratz at the latter's preference, although the date of the wedding has yet to have been set.</div></div></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Lovers from Dratz's Family (Specifically)</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center">(http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n149/wildchildzoom/1148552109dh06661.jpg)<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva;">Raven</span></span></strong></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Raven is Dratz's adopted father, as far as Deveraux knows. He's very refined and cultured in that regard, and he and Deveraux share an interest in hobbies that can be considered artistic in any sort of way, specifically painting and appreciation of such related activities. Deveraux originally began speaking to Raven to try to convince him of Dratz's improving behavior and his progress in terms of becoming a functioning member of society. Raven found Dev rather attractive and romanced him with the help of some magics and bewitchings, although the attraction stuck even when said accommodations were withdrawn. Deveraux doesn't make it a habit to interact with Raven very often, however; the man is much more magically powerful than Dev can ever hope to be, and hte relation that he shares with Dee is also a deterrent. He is Dratz's father, nonetheless, and and despite wanting to avoid him he must be consulted when it comes to certain things.</div></div><br/><div align="center">(http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/9623/kyola.png)<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva;">Kyo</span></span></strong></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Kyo is Dee's uncle, and from his understanding they have a very strained past involving a mutual lover that ended badly. Despite Dratz's hatred for this particular uncle being much more intense than his general dislike of his own family, Deveraux is easily pulled in by Kyo's romantic demeanor and his quirky personality, including but not limited to Kyo's urge to dance whenever there is a consistent beat present, and his issues with a curse placed on him several centuries prior. Kyo is fun-loving and upbeat, and that's what Deveraux likes about him the most, at times preferring his company to Draiton's.</div></div></div></div>
