<strong>Name</strong>: Amber Grath<br/><strong>Age</strong>: Appears (23) Actual 40<br/><br/><strong>Appearance</strong><br/><br/>Amber is a striking beauty having a svelte yet rather voluptuous body. She is a graceful creature moving without thought in a naturally airy motion which captivates many. Her stark, strong, deep blue eyes pierce into ones very being when she looks straight into their eyes. She wears her medium long velvet like dark brown hair usually in braids or in a long pony tail, leaving her bangs free to hang over her forehead; she does wear it loose often, however. Her slightly dark skin shows her Mediterranean heritage.<br/><br/>Amber dresses in most of the modern fashions, preferring to fit into the popular places as it makes feeding easier and finding potential herd members easier as well.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong><br/><br/>Amber is a strong willed woman with a sharp yet calm personality. Using others is not above Amber but she choses very carefully who she decides to manipulate not wanting any backlash from it. She can be demanding at times but generally is accepting and laid back in concerns to many things, so long as she feels she can get something out of it or at the very least is okay with its perceived outcome.<br/><br/>She likes being around others but is not averse to being alone or with a select few. Often times she only has her two ghouls to keep her company, and finds pleasure in manipulating them in various ways.<br/><br/>Amber is very promiscuous and proud of it. Its partially a game of control, but only to a small extent. She knows her immortality gives her an edge over Kine but otherwise she isn't overly big on using it, unless she really wants a particular Kine; she is weary of sleeping with other Kindred as she knows they may attempt to use her in the process.<br/><br/>Money is something she values but for different reasons than most. She values it only for how it can advance her goals, and does not value it because of greed.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Goals</strong><br/><br/>One of Amber's prime goals is to create a Herd that is entirely loyal to her and in which she can manipulate in nearly the same manner as her ghouls. She is not out for power so much, though she is not against having some, but she wants to be able to live as comfortable an undeath as she can get. The value of a herd in more than allowing for comfort has not gone unnoticed either.<br/><br/>Money is something she wants and lots of. She is not greedy in the truest sense of the word; she only wants it to better herself, not for the sake of true greed. She realizes most of her goals would fail if she did not acquire the money needed to make them come to fruition so she had taken the time to learn the art of finances and hired several individuals to help her in this goal. One of them, now a ghoul of hers, is Danielle, an intelligent as well as attractive young woman.<br/><br/>Linked to her main goal, she also wishes to buy a very large house or possibly instead, a club so she can use it to house her herd or make it a staging area.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Sire</strong><br/>Her sire is a vampire by the name of Markus Vinkin. He has a nearly insatiable appetite for sex and for beautiful things, much like most Toreador. He and Amber used to have flings constantly, though, Markus tended to wander off finding Kine or other willing Kindred to be bedded. In more recent times as Amber gained more independence she put distance between she and her sire, keeping him more at arms length. The less she sees him the better, though she does sometimes long for him in her bed.<br/><br/><strong>Herd</strong>: She keeps her herd within a large apartment she has. It is quite large, enough space to hold several more people besides her three herd, her two ghouls and herself; though most would end up having to share bedrooms. She and her ghouls already room in two rooms to conserve space.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong><br/><br/>Amber has always been a social creature and was involved in the women's rights movements early on and has since mellowed out on the topic no longer feeling a need to harass men for equal rights, finding her life as it is, to be quite pleasant. Joining with others, having sex, and for a very brief period of time she even tried drugs but found she hated them so quickly stopped. Her life was not wild but nor was it calm. To keep herself afloat she used her beauty and natural charm to get jobs and or use men for their money.<br/><br/>Becoming a Kindred did little to change her, except she gained a new sense of life and desire to make something for herself where as before she lived more by the moment than living by goals or plans. While in one of New Yorks popular clubs she met a charming yet racy man by the name of Markus and quickly found herself enthralled, and in his bed... often. After many months of their heated relationship she found herself being bitten but it felt so good she did nothing to stop him.<br/><br/>Waking to many strange sensations she saw Markus looking down upon her naked form, still laying in the bed he had embraced her in. He informed her of her new self and new life. At first she was terrified but much to Markus's delight she was able to quickly adapt. She had been a night owl already, so being a Vampire did not change her perception of the world much, nor did she desire to see the sun. She found that she was able to pick up her life as normal, now with added benefits.<br/><br/>As the years went by Amber became more and more used to her new life and began developing goals for herself, especially developing a desire to gain some kind of equal ground with her sire so she could escape or control his lustful desires as he would more or less use and 'abuse' her when his attentions fell upon her. Her strongest desire above all else, however, was to give herself a strong sense of security as the ever 'expanding' world that was the Vampire, began to worry her a bit. She feared it would envelop her if she did not find a way to possibly keep it at bay or at least empower herself in some manner to better protect or prepare herself against it.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Amber's Sheet</strong><br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Physical</span>(put my 5 into this)<br/>Strength: 1<br/>Dexterity: 4<br/>Stamina: 3<br/><span class="bbc_u">Social</span>(put my 9 into this) (5 freebie)<br/>Charisma: 4<br/>Manipulation: 5<br/>Appearance: 4<br/><span class="bbc_u">Mental</span>(put my 7 into this)<br/>Perception: 4<br/>Intelligence: 2<br/>Wits: 3<br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Talents</span>(Put my 17 into this)<br/>Alertness: 3<br/>Empathy: 4<br/>Expression: 4<br/>Intimidation: 4<br/>Streetwise: 2<br/><span class="bbc_u">Skills</span>(put my 13 into this)<br/>Etiquette: 4<br/>Performance: 5<br/>Drive: 4<br/><span class="bbc_u">Knowledges</span>(put my 9 into this)<br/>Linguistics: 3<br/>Finance: 3<br/>Computer: 3<br/><br/><br/><strong>Backgrounds </strong>(2 freebie)<br/><br/>Generation: 5<br/>Resources: 4<br/>Retainer: 2<br/>Herd: 1<br/><br/><strong>Discipline</strong><br/><br/>Presence: 5<br/>Celerity: 2<br/><br/><strong>Virtues</strong>(2 freebie)<br/><br/>Conscience/Conviction: 3<br/>Self-Control/Instinct: 5<br/>Courage: 3<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Humanity</strong>: 6<br/><br/><strong>Willpower</strong>: 8 (5 freebies)<br/><strong>Willpower pool</strong>: 8<br/><br/><br/><strong>Merits/Flaws</strong>(7 freebies)<br/><br/>Unbondable 3 (pts)<br/>Light Sleeper (2 pts)<br/>Enchanting Voice (2 pts)<br/><br/><br/>Languages: English (Native), German, Italian, Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Ghouls</strong><br/><br/><br/><strong>Jerome</strong><br/><br/>Jerome is a very large man standing at over seven feet tall and is decently handsome but has a dull mind and is easily manipulated, which played him right into Amber's hands. She found him quite appealing in many ways and desired him primarily as a bodyguard, his size alone enough to deter many would be assailants. Amber 'toyed' with him for many weeks getting him primed for the change and getting him loyal to her. When the change came Jerome became more loyal than even the blood bond can make.<br/><br/>His main purpose is to serve as a bodyguard but sometimes she uses him for sexual purposes.<br/><br/>Jerome although a bit slow is fiercely loyal to his Amber, seeing her as his little angel. He knows all about her promiscuous behavior but he does not care, even though he is Blood Bonded, Amber was pleased to note his behavior goes well beyond even its power. Jerome is always close by, especially when she is having sex with someone, even more so a new man. He is no pervert, only seeing it as his duty to be close at hand should she need him; many times, however, it is Jerome who finds himself in his mistresses bed chambers...<br/><br/><strong>Jerome Character Sheet</strong><br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Physical</span>(5 freebie)<br/>Strength: 5<br/>Dexterity: 2<br/>Stamina: 4<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Social</span><br/>Charisma: 1<br/>Manipulation: 3<br/>Appearance: 2<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Mental</span><br/>Perception: 4<br/>Intelligence: 1<br/>Wits: 3<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Talents</span>(2 freebie)<br/>Alertness: 3<br/>Athletics: 2<br/>Brawl: 3<br/>Dodge: 3<br/>Intimidation: 3<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Skills</span><br/>Firearms: 3<br/>Melee: 3<br/>Survival: 3<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Disciplines</span><br/>Fortitude: 1<br/>Potence: 1<br/>Celerity: 1<br/><br/>Conscience: 2<br/>Self Control: 3 (2 freebie)<br/>Courage: 3<br/><br/><strong>Humanity</strong>: 5<br/><br/><strong>Willpower</strong>: 6 (3 freebie)<br/><strong>Willpower Pool</strong>: 6<br/><br/><strong>Merits/Flaws</strong><br/>Huge Size (4pts) (merit)<br/>Speech Impediment (1 pts) (flaw)<br/><br/><br/><strong>Danielle </strong><br/><br/>Danielle is a young woman whom used to work for Amber helping her with finances and the like. Amber found her to be a very attractive young woman and wanted to preserve the young woman but keep her loyal only to her, thus she decided to ghoul Danielle.<br/><br/>Her main role is to be at Amber's side, helping with finances and to provide fun for Amber in various ways.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Danielle's Character Sheet</strong><br/><br/><em>Physical</em>(5 freebie)<br/>Strength: 1<br/>Dexterity: 5<br/>Stamina: 4<br/><br/><em>Social</em><br/>Charisma: 3<br/>Manipulation: 2<br/>Appearance: 3<br/><br/><em>Mental</em><br/>Perception: 2<br/>Intelligence: 3<br/>Wits: 2<br/><br/><em>Talents</em>(2 freebie)<br/>Alertness: 4<br/>Athletics: 3<br/>Dodge: 4 (2 freebie)<br/>Empathy: 2<br/>Expression: 2<br/><br/><em>Skills</em><br/>Drive: 2<br/>Firearms: 3<br/>Survival: 2<br/>Performance: 2<br/><br/><em>Knowledges</em><br/>Computers: 3<br/>Science: 2<br/><br/><em>Disciplines</em><br/>Potence: 1<br/>Fortitude: 1<br/>Celerity: 1<br/><br/>Conscience: 3<br/>Self Control: 4<br/>Courage: 3<br/><br/><em>Humanity</em>: 7<br/><br/><em>Willpower</em>: 6 (3 freebie)<br/><em>Willpower Pool</em>: 6<br/><br/><em>Merits/Flaws</em>(3 freebies)<br/>Catlike Balance (1 pt)<br/>Acute Sense (Hearing) (1 pt)<br/>Time Sense (1 pt)<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Herd</strong><br/><br/>Each of her herd are as subject to her sexual whims as her ghouls are.<br/><br/><strong>Rachel</strong><br/><br/>Rachel is no less than a most beautiful woman, hand picked by Amber to join her herd and perhaps one day to be ghouled. She is a fairly intelligent woman but by no means an MIT or Harvard girl. Her strengths lie more among her ability to get along with people. Amber uses Rachel as a greeter and as someone who wanders around the club chatting up customers.<br/><br/><strong>Jake</strong><br/><br/>Jake is a handsome man who impressed Amber with his ability to manage, so she put him in charge of her club, though she keeps a close eye on him and reserves the right to override his decisions.<br/><br/><strong>Derek</strong><br/><br/>Derek is equally as handsome as Jake and serves as head bouncer for the club. He is fairly large and quite strong.<br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Club</strong></span><br/><br/><strong>White As Night<br/></strong><br/>It services Kine and Kindred alike but the Kindred had a special area where only they are allowed. The club serves as an Elysium as well. The club is three stories; the first two stories are available to any member Kine or Kindred, while the third is only available to Kindred.<br/><br/>The club has a large area with tables to sit at and an area with couches, love seats, and single chairs to sit at. The dance floor is very large easily able to hold much of the clubs capacity. In the kindred part of the club the style is more subdued. There is an area also for feeding upon fresh Kine, but should that be an option for a vampire there is blood on tap.<br/><br/>
