Description (if an NPC) or name of your creator/gifter(if a PC) [COLOR=red]( Please be as specific as possible, who your [COLOR=red]creator[/COLOR]/[COLOR=red]gifter[/COLOR] was, why he chose to change you, where is he/she now?)[/COLOR]:

In 133 BC the last siege of Numantia during a multi-war battle that had lasted over twenty years resulted in a King betraying his people and the remaining Namanites that hadn't died of starvation and disease burned their city to the ground, opting to die free of Rome and its oppression than life as slaves.

In 134 BC, the Consul Scipio Aemilianus was sent to Hispania Citerior to end the war. He recruited 20,000 men and 40,000 allies, including Numidian cavalry under King Jugurtha.

Within the King's circle of advisers was Isidoro. A young and extremely clever Spaniard, who was privately against the alliance King Jugurtha made, left Numantia under dead of night to escape the oncoming slaughter of the people he had grown to love. At three hundred years old, he had seen enough war and famine to last his lifetime, so he left with his beloved consort Camille.

Having traveled as peasants across the land, Camille had become ill and lay dying. Isidoro gave her his gift, not wanting to lose her. Together they traversed across Europe, avoiding the Roman wars that lay siege to the continent. Six hundred years later, Isidoro's true identity had been revealed and was caught and killed, leaving Camille alone. She has since traveled the world alone, never making a companion, and staying on the fringes of her vampire birth clan, The Evenhet.


Personal Questions

1. Describe your character's personality

Cam is quiet with a penetrating stare. She feels if there is nothing relevant to say, then she prefers to say nothing at all lending to some awkward moments. There is a whimsical yet sad presence about her and this stems from the loss of her creator, Isidoro. She has never loved anyone the way she loved him and never will. She wears her loneliness like a wrap.

2. Describe how your character would appear to a stranger (I.E. typical dress, way they carry themselves etc.) Cam prefers flowing, long gowns with a love for silk. She either wears leg strap sandals or high boots, but prefers to wear dresses over pants. On occasion she will dress with the current times.

3.What does your character like?

Adores butter popcorn
She likes to lose herself in crowds, feeling the humans and their energy
Loves the piano and can play quite well

Thunder storms

5. (For humans) Describe what abilities you see your character having if they were turned.
6. What are your fears? [COLOR=red](please choose and explain 3 minimum)[/COLOR]

Filling the aching hole in her heart - Cam has remained alone since Isidoro's death. If an opportunity to become more than just physically involved with someone arises, she flees from it. She has no desire to feel that sense of loss ever again.

Being lost - it reminds her of when she lost Isidoro. She had no idea what to do, where to go, or why she should even bother going on. This is different than just being lost in a crowd, but more so not having a direction in her life. No accomplishments or goals - having nothing to do but just exist.

Not being able to defend herself - the fear of being attacked or revealed again stems from Isidoro's capture and death. She has spent her existence honing her defensive skills, but she would prefer death to being held captive again like the slave she was born.


7. What is your character's strengths and weaknesses? [COLOR=red](please pick 3 minimum of each and explain in detail how and why this affects your character)[/COLOR]

strengths -

Plays the piano - Cam can play classical to modern times and thoroughly enjoys losing herself within the music.

Cooking - she is a very good cook, experienced in cuisines around the world. She has spent several lifetimes as a personal cook and has enjoyed it.

Belly dancing - other than her clothes matching perfectly with the art, she enjoys the exercise and seduction of the dance. Cam spent time in Arabia hundreds of years ago as a belly dancer.

weaknesses -

Hates 9-5 jobs - The mundane rat race of working monday thru fri, morning to evening, has always perplexed her. She has lost many jobs in the past century just trying to fit in, but has found freelancing to be more her style.

humans - she has never shied away from humans, always finding them fascinating and ever changing. With her life so set for her, she envies them and their world to the point of obsession. Always needing to be near them - bars, subways, huge cities. Besides feeling protective for them, her envy makes her want their fragile lives ten fold.

material objects - Shoes, clothes, antiquities - any little thing that captures her interest she must have. She has warehouses filled with intricate baubles from over the centuries and parting with them, although difficult, does sustain her lifestyle since working a regular job is out of the question.

Personal History [COLOR=red]3rd person (1st is acceptable) but please be as detailed as possible, this can/will affect your rp with other players.[/COLOR]

Life used to be so simple. Her path was predestined and her markings were clear to anyone who looked at her. She was the property of one close to the King and that made her untouchable. He shared her with no one, keeping her life uncomplicated and free of abuse, even from the King's constant stares. Isidoro was her master as well as her slave. Silks, delicate fruits, sweet meats, and love - no concubine could boast the same thing. She was more than a wife, more than a man's whore, she was Isidoro's sounding board, holder of secrets, and had his complete trust.

Then, one day, life ceased to be so simple.

Running a finger over an iron shield, she traced the faint markings of Caesar's Rome and his conqueror. Isidoro had told her what would happen and they fled as the city began to burn and stink of human flesh. Her Isidor, the King's trusted adviser whisked her away from the comforts of the King's circle who had betrayed his own people and they ran.

The land had been ravished by Caesar's men leaving it filled with starvation, human waste, and death. It was not long before Camille became ill, not used to the running or bare existence of her life. It was then her Isidoro gave her a gift, the gift that meant she'd never leave him and made her what she was today.

Camille's hands ran over fine china, orient silks, Grecian artifacts, and fine, leather bound books remembering exactly where she was as she touched each piece until she came upon one that broke her heart. A gold canary, small, insignificant in its appearance, but she kept it, nonetheless, as a reminder of when she died a second time.

Six hundred years she was with her Isidoro, teaching her how to exist without hurting them, to care when she could, and of her clan, The Evenhet. Wandering another fourteen hundred years, she came to the new nation of America, having watched it grow from the ground up, and decided it was time to search out her clan. Maybe life could become simple again, but the thought of loving again the way she loved Isidoro scared her more than encouraged her. Still, she went to America and found Nachton.

This was her path and she hoped it would be a simple one.
