The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each.

Corvus is over 2900 years old. Because of this, she's fairly traditional, in her own way. She very typically holds views from her younger years - Including that mean are weak, and women are far superior. In fact, seeing how men treat women nowadays is incredibly frustrating to her. Cory had always been incredibly outspoken, and very reckless, to the point where she has and will murder people for disrespecting her, her family, or anyone she deems worthy of protecting.

'Helen of Troy,' 'The face that launched a thousand ships', 'the Darling of Troy and Rome." All of these were used to describe Corvius' beauty and, naturally, over the years, she hasn't changed much. Nowadays, she doesn't straight up believe she is the most beautiful, but she does have a beauty about her nonetheless. This is something she knows, and something she definitely takes advantage of it, whether that be for malicious intent, or otherwise innocent manipulation.

With a new family, for her, comes with new responsibility. She's fairly protective of her so-called family, even though she's sure they can protect themselves just as easily. Still, they seem to bring a different side to her.

Annoyed 2) Write about the history of your character. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? It must be at least three paragraphs long, seven sentences each.

"2900 years ago, I was born. According to historians my marriage to a man in search of wealth and fame was the beginning of the era of 'heroes'. Well you know what comes with heroes? Villains. One cannot exist without the other, after all. My name - the one I was born with, anyways - was Helen of Troy. The woman who started a war with her beauty. That's all I was seen as - a sex symbol. They even say that my fate was swayed, when my husband tried to strike me and I disrobed, making him blind with my beauty. Men back then were weak. They still are.

The stories aren't far odd. A lot of it hearsay. They still can't decide whether I was a treacherous woman, prospering in Troy with my 'captor', or in constant gloom and sorrow. I'll say this; It doesn't matter now. It'll never matter. That woman stopped existing by 700 BCE. After that, I was reborn. An ancestor had taken interest in me, and after I heard their story, they offered me a choice; Die, or join them in eternity. Naturally, I chose one over the other, and I took a different name; Corvius Lillith. Later on, I took the surname of my blood family, Altair. I saw the fall of Troy, the rise of Rome, and the fall of Rome. The birth of Christianity. I was a part of history. There's nothing I'd rather have done.

The Altairs, my newfound blood sisters and brother, were just like me; Thousands of years old. The Matriarchs, Tia and Kalla, had found me after I was banished from Rome. Though, as soon as our family was joined, we also fell. I had decided to travel the world, but throughout the movement of time, we had ended up finding each other again and again. Eventually we just decided to stay together.

For a while I had lived in Pompeii, but when that was destroyed, I moved on. I enjoyed watching the Romans and the Huns going back and forth. Really, the Romans were such a plight on the land. It was nice seeing them fizzle out into nothing. It gave me a good five hundred years or so worth of entertainment. After that, I moved around quite a bit. I was a pirate for a while, from around 50 BCE to the 1400's. Then it got boring. I was there for war between France and England, I smelled Joan D'Arc's burning flesh. I knew Michelangelo, I was on the Mayflower to the Americas... I can go on and on, really.

If I had to pick a favorite times, it'd be when the United States was forming. The Witch Trials in Salem. The bloodshed over who belonged to whom. Really, a disgusting display of male power hunger. But so much bloodshed. A beautiful time for a Vampire to be alive. At this point I was estranged from my blood coven. The women who raised me and taught me were somewhere else. But I still had their name. Eventually, when we decided to stick together, and we all were where we belonged, we all decided to move to England/ Specifically, a place we could choose to be ourselves.

With the money we all acquired over the years, we moved to Lincliff City. That's where a new story begins."
