The Vampire Diary: Fallen Angels

Originally posted by Beyril


There is a book, well-known but rarely talked about, in the undergrounds of the world. This book is not one read for pleasure, this is a book one reads to learn. That was the intention anyway...
The Vampire Diary, written by Isabella Marie Strauss I, Marcello Stevens, and Zane Stevens, contains information on all the creatures of the world. Their weaknesses, their strengths, and histories. There exists only one copy, and that copy has been held by Isabella for almost 100 years.
But, recently, tragedy has befallen the book. Marcello, one of the authors of the book and Isabella's husband, died protecting her. And later, Bella died protecting the book. Because whoever has the book, can destroy any of the creatures they want. In the wrong hands, the Diary could destroy the world.
But, the story continues. Because the good thing about a diary, is that it never has to end.

Rules/General Info:

1) I have a storyline in mind for these, starting here and progressing into a whole series of RPs. So, don't give away too much info about your character here. You will have plenty of time to keep going with the bio.

2) I'd like for everyone's character to at least have known Bella for a little while previous to her death. You also should have history with other characters. If you can't come up with anything, let me know and I'll help you out.

3) Please post your bio before jumping in, I need to incorporate your character into the story line.

4) Please have a picture. And don't just say "Avi Pic". I want you to put a picture as in like with the IMG thingies.

5) Also, I'd like for everyone to stay the races that they are. As in, Bella II is a human and shall stay human unless I say otherwise.

6) No weird races. I.E. If you want to be a were-wolf, then you are the run-of-the-mill were-wolf. Nothing extra. And the traditional ones, too! No off-breed vampires like the ones in Twilight. I'm wanting like Hollywood Vampire vampires.

7) Don't screw with me here. I have a plan and I don't want it messed with. You can ad-lib as you want, but don't make anything up about anyone else's character without that person's permission.

8) I'd appreciate it if no one else was human. Pwease?

9) OK, no one knew about Bella's death when we start, mmk?

Characters:


Isabella Marie Strauss II
Age: 18
Gender: female
Personality: Typical Type B personality with a little bit of a temper.
Blood Type: O-
Race: Human
Bio: Isabella is the daughter of Marcello Stevens and Isabella Strauss I. No one in the group knew that she even existed previous to today. She is usually called Bella.

Zane Edward Stevens
Age: 265
Gender: Male
Personality: shy, awkward, and romantic
Blood Type: AB
Race: Fallen Angel
Bio: Zane is the last surviving author of the Vampire Diary. He has been given the task of watching over the newest Isabella and is baffled as to how a girl with neither parent human ended up human herself. He has lost both his brother and his best friend to creatures after the Diary and is firm in his belief that it should just be destroyed. However, Bella left specific instructions to give the Diary to Isabella II and keep the two of them safe, so he abides by Bella's last wishes. He has tattoos on his back that are enchanted to hide his wings so he can blend in with other people on Earth.

Kyira Rayne Valo
Age: 165
Gender: Female
Personality: Sarcastic, argumentative, but caring on the inside.
Blood Type: A
Race: Royal, she has bright violet eyes that easily stand out from a regular humans.  She can read minds, perform telepathy and as an odd added bonus, has been able to control, create and absorb water.
Bio: Kyira was a good friend of Bella's and was with her almost constantly. The two of them depended on each other for most things, Bella for protection, and Kyira for a friend. Kyira is very strong and has been referred to as a thug, but those people are in the hospital right now, so if you wanted to verify it with them, you couldn't.

Linas
Age: 55
Gender: Male
Personality: Happy-go-lucky, flamboyant and ditzy at times
Blood Type: A Positive
Race: Vampire
Bio: Linas lived a normal life before being changed into a vampire by Kyria. It wasn't out of spite; Linas was just mugged for being gay and was actually dying in the streets. Kyria thought she would take pity and give him the gift of everlasting life. Now he's considered the "new blood" so to speak. He has many things to learn and his journey is just beginning.

Gender: Male
Personality: Laid back, free spirited, easy going, serious when appropriate
Blood Type: O+

Bio: Riley grew up in the Appalachians, in a small coal-industry town surrounded by the peaks and wilderness. He thrived in the woods once he had awakened to his mystic abilities, and went on to explore the world, studying various spirits, plants, and animals as he progressed in his magic. In the past, he provided Bella, Marcello, and Zane with the vellum on which they wrote the Vampire Diary. He has kept in touch with the three over the years, though visits were rather sparse and random due to his roaming nature.

((Does Beyril love me enough to let me be...uh...me?))

((Since it's a reboot, I would assume that anything would be okay. Just submit your bio and see what happens))

((I would but it's already up there ha. That's why I asked.))

OOC: Everyone's good :)

((Woo!))

Linas woke up at his usual time as of late; 8:30 pm. Even though it's been at least 5 years since he was turned, it's still hard to get accustomed to only seeing night. He was stricken with in overwhelming thirst. He needed to eat, but didn't want to go alone.

Kyira stared out the window of the taxi, her eyes glazed over. The feeling in her gut matched the weather outside, dismal. Her whole being said something terrible had happened, but no one was willing to tell her what. They all kept saying 'in person', why not just tell her now? Let this feeling go away. She'd rather take a silver bullet to the heart than bear it another moment.

Linas decided to stop being a whimp and go feed. He walked outside and saw the gloomy evening. He continued down the road until he saw some humans to glamour them into letting him drink their blood. Blood still still had the familiar metallic taste when he was a human, but now it was a tad bit sweeter.

Zane walked into the large foyer of the Strauss mansion, hair a tangled mess on one side, and his eyes sunken and hollow. He sat on the steps and buried his head in his hands. Honestly, he looked a bit like he had been hit by a truck. As Marcello followed him in, he looked the same. Knowing the two angels, hit by a truck could be an accurate description.

Kyira handed the cab driver her money and stepped out. Her heavy purse matched the heavy feeling she felt around her. Yet here she stood, in the driveway of Bella's home. The one place she hadn't seen in nearly 20 years. Had it really been so long? Had she disconnected herself from her family for what seemed like an eternity. When you're immortal though, time seems irrelevant.
Thunder rolled in the distance, a storm moving in. Kyira sucked in a deep breath and made the walk up the stone steps to the front door. Her heart racing. She didn't know what might happen. Would Bella answer, a smile on her face welcoming her back? Or would Marcello answer, scolding her for staying gone so long. Either way, she had no choice but to find out.
Kyira knocked on the heavy wooden door, waiting for her answer.

Surprisingly, it was neither, and yet a face that was both familiar and not all at once.

The blonde pulled back the heavy oak door, green eyes flicking over the stranger.

"You must be one of mom's friends."

Kyira felt her body go numb. This was not what she had expected. Not at all. Bella had...a daughter?
"I...uh...yeah. I guess you're Bella's daughter. Wow, I never expected this."
Kyira knew she'd been gone a long time, but she never expected this long.

Bella nodded, "Yeah. That obvious, huh?" her voice was dry and disinterested, a kind of hollowed out log, "Come on in. Dad and Zane are in the sitting room."

Kyira followed Bella's daughter into the house. Her mind was really warped now. She was pushing everyone's thoughts out, just trying to figure out her own. Her best friend had a daughter, Zane was here, and no one had even told her why they went through so much just to get in contact with her.

((Flashback moment))
Kyira sat in the small pub sipping on what seemed to be a local Irish whiskey. She had been traveling Europe for what seemed like 50 years, but she had no choice. She was running from her past. Her best friend was married to Marcello, and his brother was with them. They had went underground and Kyira had no clue why. So here she sat, drinking her sorrows away. That was until her phone rang. A number she didn't know. But in a place she remembered. When she answered the voice she heard, was one she thought she'd never hear again. It was Marcello.
"Kyira, we need you back home. Something's happened. I can't say now, but come home. Now. Bella and I need you now."
"Ok, I'll be there."
No hesitation, no seconds thoughts. Kyira was on the next flight out of Ireland, back to the place she had long thought she'd never return to. Home.

Bella led her to the sitting room, pulling her legs up against her chest as she fell back against the couch. Marcello, sunken eyes and somehow older face massaging her shoulder. Zane sat opposite him, a faint smile crossing his lips as Kyira entered, "Hey, little miss. Long time, no see."

Kyira say down on the couch, opposite end as Bella. She looked the room over, remembering so much from the 100 years she had spent running in and out, playing with Bella, working with Marcello, and bonding with Zane. This was her home, but something in her heart broke. Something told her this wasn't really home anymore. Something is missing.
"Yeah, really. I didn't expect to be back here. Actually, it feels weird...being...here. In this house. But, I doubt you called for a makeshift family reunion. So, tell me what's going on? Why did you call me back after all these years? Better yet..." Kyira's breath grew shallow, she held back her tears, the next question she asked was not what she wanted to ask.
"Zane, tell me where is Bella?"

Zane's face contorted, as did Marcello's, both at a loss for words as they searched for the correct phrasing.

Bella, the strange clone of her mother, gave a hollow look up to Kyira, "Mom's dead."

Kyira let her head drop to her hands. Everyone's thoughts had stopped. Of course, why come back if not for bad news?
"When?" Kyira's voice was emotionless.

Marcello stiffened, "The day after I called you. They were too fast."

"They, who exactly is they? No, just tell me from the start. What have I missed, aside from this!" Kyira said as she stood, pointing down at Bella.

"Dianne is after the book." he stated simply, "and she's got an army behind her willing to die to get it to her."

Zane looked her dead in the eye, "And she's not the only one. Royals, Fallen... Weres, they're all after it."

"Book...you mean that damned diary you three kept talking about writing? You actually wrote it! I told you what would happen!" Kyira's voice was shaking. She felt her mind wanting to tear itself apart. She couldn't help but cry now.
"So you mean to tell me, that Dianne, the woman who always swore she was Bella's friend, had her killed? That my own people, your people too, are going to kill us all to get that book? What are we supposed to do?"

"Bella said to protect it." Marcello stated simply, "And she left it to our daughter."

The girl rolled her eyes.

Zane sighed, "They were afraid of what might happen to Isabella if word got out that she was the child of a vampire and an angel. Regardless of the fact that she's totally human. Isabella has been with me for the last twenty years. In hiding."
