Vampires have always walked alongside humans, hidden in the shadows. Most humans are oblivious to vampires' existence. Except for those that chosen to be involved in the fight against them. Most vampires are evil, soulless creatures who see humans as nothing more then a food source. Or perhaps a little entertainment if they get bored. However, a few, albeit very few, vampires have manged to keep their souls and humanity, and help to fight against the other vampires. Those 'chosen' ones are called Slayers. And only a handful of slayers exist in the world at one time. A dozen to be exact. Slayers are human, but have a "Slayer Package" as they call it. They heal faster then the average human, not vampire fast, but they can usually completely recover from a serious wound in about three days. They're also faster and stronger then the average human. Each of the dozen is born into each generation, and come into their powers when a Slayer dies. Most Slayers begin their Slaying career at age sixteen, and have a life span of twenty six years. So, obviously, most slayers only get about ten years of experience fighting. The majority of slayers, are female. However there have been a few rare male slayers. There's an ancient prophecy, of the La Decidee Une, or The Chosen One. She has the power to open and close the La Porte En Enfer, or The Gate To Hell. She's the only one with the ability to do this. And, La Decidee Une has just recently been discovered, in a little town in Montana. Which, just happens to be located directly over La Porte En Enfer. Now, everyone is scrambling to get to La Decidee Une first, some to use her to open the gate to hell, while others to protect her. And to train her. Because La Decidee also happens to be a Slayer as well.
(obviously based off of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, with a twist)

Character list from the first version. Just thought I'd repost it, up to you guys if you want your old characters or want to go with new ones. Also, I'm following Marie's lead and not posting a bio format, since we all know what to do.
Xandralexia, Just call her Xandra. The only person allowed to call her anything else is Valentine, who calls her Lexi. Xandra is the longest living slayer, at age 28, she's managed to break through the normal life span of a Slayer. She's also the youngest slayer to have came into her Slayer position at age twelve, after a Slayer was killed too soon, thus giving Xandra a remarkable sixteen years of fighting experience. Xandra is also a Rouge Slayer. Meaning that she doesn't follow the Watchers' council and does as she wants, when she wants. Xandra has been dating Valentine since she was eighteen years old, when they met. When Xandra gets a phone call from Grimm, the only Watcher that she actually likes, that La Decidee Une has been discovered, she decides that she might as well do what she can to help, while she can anyway. Xandra is sarcastic, kickass and has a temper, and isn't someone you want to face off against. Valentine, He's a vampire, and has been for about three hundred years. However, he has kept his soul since the day he was turned. How? Well, it's a bit odd, and extremely rare. Val was turned by a much older vampire who had regained his soul many years before, and he turned Valentine after Val had gotten fatally wounded, saving his sire's granddaughter from a mugger. Valentine never lost his soul, nor his humanity. He learned to control his nature and has spent his life since trying to fight against the soulless vampires. He met Xandra, or Lexi as he calls her, when she was eighteen, having already been a Slayer for six year by that point, she could tell that Val was different from the others. They started dating not too long after that and have been together ever since. Val has a very laid back, been there done that kinda attitude and doesn't let much bother. He's fairly sarcastic, and can turn deadly serious if needed, though.
Grimm, is in his early 40s and has been a watcher since he was sixteen years old. Needless to say, Grimm's seen and done a lot during his life, but he soon finds that Cinnamon is by far the biggest challenge of his career as a watcher. He's very straight forward, a bit and a by the book kind of guy. He's very responsible and has a strict list of rules that he follows. Though he does tend to feel like the father figure of the group. Cinnamon, The La Decidee Une. Call her Cici, She's sixteen and not why you'd expect upon hearing her name. She's a bit of a wild child, sarcastic and tough. She's a bit off the wall and you never know what to expect from her. She's reluctant to train to learn her Slayer abilities though, wanting to party and have fun instead. She keeps getting herself in trouble though. She ends up liking Ryder. Ryder, he's a warlock. He's around a hundred or so years old and a bit of a jokester. He doesn't take much seriously and is very laid back and relaxed. He's also goofy and free-spirited. He accidentally finds himself in town as everything begins to break loose, but ends up falling for Cici. Penelope, or Jinx, she's a witch. And a new one at that. She's bubbly and has a warm, friendly personality, and she's also girly. Her powers and potions are always going haywire and either nearly blow someone up, or turn them into something. She's a local in the town, but finds herself friends with Cici and trying to help as much as she can. She ends up liking Logan. Logan, He's a werewolf. He's mostly quiet and reserved, and comes from a long line of werewolves. He's managed to get his nature under control for the most part, but still has a bit of a temper at times. Especially if someone he cares about is in danger. He comes to the town to try to help, and ends up falling for Jinx. Drusilla, she's a vampire. She's been around for about four hundred years and is a bit er-insane. She's physic, though some say she's also a bit psycho. She has a different take on things and sees things in her own, unique way. She's very evil, her favorite hobby is torturing humans and she's always coming up with new ways to do so. She's been with Spike for around three hundred years, ever since she turned him. Dru has made a reputation for herself, she did long before she met Spike, or William as he was back then. She's killed any vampire that's pissed her off, and she's even killed a slayer, so she's not someone to mess with. Spike, he's a vampire, and has been for a little over three hundred years. He's an extremely evil vampire who's killed two slayers, and loves to brag about it. He's also one of the most known, feared, and demented vampires around. He loves torturing his victims, and is always looking for new ways to do so. He's fairly sarcastic and always cracking sarcastic remarks, and he usually has a sinister smirk. He's been with Dru since she sired him around three hundred years ago, and while he's evil to every one else, he acts a bit differently towards Dru. Rainer, he's a demon, and an extremely evil one at that. He's been around since the ancient times. He's extremely powerful, and he wants to use Cici to open the gate to hell to release someone. However, while he's strong and powerful, he needs help to do so. So, he begins to recruit anyone with a feared reputation. He calls in Spike and Dru, making them an offer they can't refuse of course. Rattlesnake, he's a vampire, and a very evil one. Nobody really knows that much about him, except that he's been around for awhile and is one of the most feared vampires around. He's highly sarcastic and always making rude, sarcastic remarks. He absolutely hates Spike, since he's his biggest competition in the 'evil' department, and because Spike has one up on him, he's killed not one but two slayers, while Rattlesnake has yet to kill any. And him and Dru also hate each other, though for a different reason, he's the one that turned her.

Name: Xandralexia NailsNicknames: Xandra to everyone. Lexi to Val.Age: 28Species: SlayerPersonality: Xandra is complicated. She's very stubborn and strong-willed, once she sets her mind to something, that's all there is to it and very little can change her mind, but that's only actually happened on two rare occasions. She's fiercely independent, and prefers to do things on her own without any one's help. She has a bit of an issue with pride, it's hard, almost painfully so, for her to ask for help, or apologize to anyone, which is why she never does. She's sarcastic and always cracking sarcastic remarks. She has a very tough, dry exterior and keeps everyone that arm's length, how she let Valentine get as close as he has is still a mystery to her. She's very straight forward, always saying exactly what she thinks, when she thinks it without thinking it through and doesn't care if she hurts any one's feelings or not. She never backs down from a fight or challenge, she's not afraid of throwing the first punch and is always willing to take on anyone that pisses her off. She's very serious when it comes to training Slayers, wanting them to stay focused. She doesn't put up with people's crap and let's them know that right up front. She has a flippant kinda attitude towards her own battles though, she usually acts as though she isn't that concerned about surviving through a fight. But, her actions are much different, because she's a very skilled fighter and always fights with everything she has. She has a very strong survival instinct, which is how she's survived for so long, but she's also the type that would rather sacrifice herself rather then let anything happen to anyone else. She could seem a bit morbid at times to some, as she seems to shrug off stuff that would have others panicked. Xandra is slightly overprotective to those she cares about, she'd do anything for them, and when things get too dangerous, she tries to push them away to keep them out of harm's way. She's also the type that jumps headfirst into a battle and deal with the consequences later. She does have a softer side though, but she keeps it well hidden, and the only person to have ever seen it, is Valentine. Xandra doesn't let showing it, because the last thing she needs is for the vampires she's fighting to think she's weak. Xandra always hides her emotions well, to her, emotions are weakness, and even a tiny weakness can result in devastating ways. Xandra has a habit of shutting down and pushing everyone away when something bad happens... Or is about to happen.Appearance: ~For Tattoos: Xandra has several. One on her left shoulder blade of a green Hummingbird, one on her inner right wrist of a black rose, and written beside it in cursive is "Valentine". One on her outer left ankle of a black heart with a silver dagger through it, written beneath it in cursive is "Live Like You're Dying"'. She has a skull and crossbones surrounded by flames on the small ofher back, that runs from one side to the other. She has one on the back of her neck that's the Japanese symbol for "fire". She has one on her left shoulder of a thorny vine that starts on her shoulder and wraps down around her arm and around her wrist.History: Xandra was born twenty eight years ago in a little town in Kentucky on the Ohio River. Her parents were John and Mary and were average, working class. For the first twelve years of her life, her life was normal, happy even. But, all that changed one night when she was twelve. Her parents were murdered, and Xandra became the youngest Slayer in history. The circumstances of this are unclear, since Xandra has never told anyone. All anyone knows is that the Slayer she replaced was killed when she was only 22, four years too soon, which catapulted Xandra ahead too soon. Xandra spent the next three years having to figure out everything on her own. When she was fifteen, she came across Grimm, the two butted heads, and Xandra being the stubborn girl she is, refused his offer to help her, and especially refused to work for the council. However Grimm was stubborn too, and ended up saving Xandra's life. Xandra settled in one place, Grimm's, until she was eighteen, when she decided that she needed to travel. That was when she met Valentine, in Los Angeles. She had been a Slayer for six years by this point, and knew right away that he was different then the other vampires, he had a soul, and always had. Xandra still gave him hell of course, but three months later, Val had managed to get her to date him. Xandra has continued to travel all over the country, fighting vampires, demons, and any other creature that's a danger to human kind... And of course, she's had Valentine in tow. Recently, she's received a visit from a Soothsayer that she saved back years ago, who wanted to warn Xandra about a recent vision she had of her. When Xandra gets a phone call from Grimm, she goes to Montana to try to help him train Cinnamon, but soon it turns into a large favor to him that she doesn't kill Cici herself.Relationships: Xandra has been dating Valentine for the past ten years, and is actually the only serious relationship she's ever had in her life. She's good friends with Grimm, has been since she was fifteen, and she feels like she owes him for saving her life, even though he claims that she doesn't owe him anything. She butts heads with cinnamon a lot. She's had some bad run-ins with Rainer and the two are old enemies.Extra: Xandra never goes anywhere without a large variety of weapons. Her favorite is a silver, jagged dagger with an onyx bejeweled handle. She always has her favorite stake with her, it's twisted and she hand-carved it herself. She also has switches stars that she always keeps in her belt, and always keeps a colt in her waistband. Sure, guns don't kill supernatural creatures, but it still hurts like hell and slows them down.

Name: Drusilla, or Dru.Age: Real age: 410, Appearance age: late 20s/early 30sSpecies: VampirePersonality: Dru is sarcastic, always making sarcastic jokes. She's well... Er- insane. At least that's what most people say. She has her own, unique take on things, and sees things in her own way. She has a habit of saying completely off the wall things, and usually in a cryptic way that most people can't even seem to understand. She's extremely evil, and her favorite hobby is torturing humans, and she's always thinking of new ways to do so. Dru does have a slightly softer side, though she keeps it well hidden, and even Spike barely gets to see it.Appearance: History: Dru's mother died of the Black Death when Dru was only two years old. Dru was raised by her father until she was six, when he remarried. Dru's step-mother was a very cold and distant woman, who hated Dru, and made her life hell. Dru doesn't really talk about her life as a human, it was a long time ago, so what does it matter? Dru was sired by a vampire named Rattlesnake one night, Dru doesn't talk about that time either, but it's pretty clear that the two of them hate each other now. One night when Dru was at a pub, she met William. Now, normally Dru would have ignored him all together, or have killed him, as were the only two opitions she usually did with men, or any humans actually. But, there was something different about him that caught her attention, which was what kept her from being able to kill him. And the same reason that Dru also turned him that night and has been with him since. Dru has pretty much spent her life since, traveling with Spike all over the world, causing chaos.Relationships: Dru has been with Spike since she turned him, which was around three hundred years ago, and back when he was known as William. She works for Rainer, but seems to not realize that at times. She absolutely hates Rattlesnake with a passion, for various reasons. Not only because he turned her, but also because of the events that he was responsible for leading up to him siring her.Extra: Dru has a black tabby cat named Shadow. Shadow also happens to be a vampire cat. How Shadow became the first and only vampire cat is still a mystery to this day, however Dru isn't responsible. When she found Shadow shortly after she was turned into a vampire, he was already a blood-drinking feline of the night.

During his life, Grimm has been assigned to numerous Slayers, and has tried his best to train everyone of them to the best of his ability.

He tends to treat each one of them like a daughter and is always devastated when one of them meets her end. Grimm and Xandra have been friends for years, he's the only Watcher which Xandra respects. When Grimm is assigned to train Cinnamon, Grimm has no idea what he's getting himself into, and finds that Cinnamon is the biggest challenge of his life.Extra: Grimm is a book worm, and speaks several languages fluently.OOC: Yep, basically Giles with just a different name.

Name: Penelope JohnstonNickname: JinxAge: 16Species: WitchPower: Being a witch means that Jinx has several powers, but most of them are currently unknown to her since she doesn't know how to control them at will yet. She can whip up potions to help with pretty much anything, though she has a bad habit of blowing up her kitchen when she's trying to put said potions together. She can also write spells, but they usually come out sounding corny and don't always have the desired outcome she was hoping for.Personality: Jinx is probably one of the nicest girls you'll ever meet in your life. She's sweet, bubbly and friendly, she'll be anyone's friend that is willing to be friends with her, and she's extremely loyal . . . as long as that loyalty goes both ways. If you betray her, she'll never forgive you for it. She's the type that if you need someone, she's always the first one there and willingly to do whatever you need her to do. She tends to ramble at times, sometimes about nothing important, she's very optimist and is always trying to find a good point in everything, even the darkest of situations. Some people call her an airhead, but truthfully Jinx is a very smart girl.Appearance: History: Jinx was born Penelope Johnston, but earned the nickname Jinx in middle school after she was in the school play and tripped and fell, taking down the stage and other actors with her. One of the other actors fell off the stage and got a broken ankle, and another got a concussion from a fallen light hitting him on the head, all because Jinx tripped on the hem of her dress. Jinx's mother is a witch, and her father is a warlock, both are powerful and good at controlling their powers. Yet for some reason, Jinx didn't luck out that great, she didn't come into her powers until she was fifteen, and has been struggling to control them ever since.Extra: Jinx always carries a small bag full of potions with her, all of which usually come in handy.

Name: RainerAge: Appears to be 30, real age unknownSpecies: DemonPower: To Be Revealed...Personality: Cold, ruthless, pure evil. Those are the best words to describe Rainer. He loves torturing people, causing death and destruction and is only loyal to himself, putting himself firth and foremost and to hell with everyone else. Rainer doesn't like working with other people, yet he knows that he needs minions to do his dirty work for him. He hires people on a need-to basis and kills them if they displease him by not doing what they were hired to do.Appearance: History: Rainer has been around since the ancient times, and during his very long life has managed to kill more people then a thousand vampires put together. Nobody is quite sure how long Rainer has been around . . . but it's obviously been a long time for him to have gained the feared reputation that he has. Rainer has a lot of enemies, yet most are too afraid to go directly against him, and instead plot their revenge from the safety of the darkness. He has a few minions that have been with him for a few centuries that have somehow managed to earn their keep, but Rainer wouldn't think twice about killing them if they were to do something he didn't like.Extra:

Name: Cinnamon Nickname: Cici Age: 16 Species: Slayer, The La Decidee UnePowers: Awesome Ninja skills hehe, just kidding.(: She's the only slayer that has the power to close and open the La Porte En Enfer or the Gate To Hell; such a big job. Personality: Cinnamon, Cici, Cici, where to begin with this one . . . hmm well she's a wild one, born and raised. She's a bit sarcastic to the point where she could be rude, teasing, or just playful. She's got a lot of spunk that she'll talk back and stand up for herself. She's feisty, meaning that she'll kick your butt when you make her mad, which makes her fiery. She's hyper, well that's an understatement. She's the definition of 'bouncing off the walls.' She says stuff that's off the wall that you never know what to expect, well also doing. She's very random and you'll think that she's the most randomest person that you've met. But if you only knew what she doesn't say. Some say that she's blunt, yeah but she just thinks that she's being completely honest. She smirks at some stuff then she smiles at the rest. She laughs at almost anything and has a strange sense of humor. If you weren't supposed to push the wrong buttons, its Cici, she's the type of person that will actually sit there and plot her revenge. She lives her life to the fullest, there’s no doubt about that. She has determination of accomplishing even the hardest task, like staying alive. People often wonder why she's not in the loony bin since she can't stand still for nothing, it's like she has ADHD or something but she has ADHOS, Attention Deficit Oooh Shiny teehee. Other than her classic label as the wild child but she, also, has the label of the girl that will bring out a beat down when you deserve it. Appearance: She stands at the height of five feet and four inches tall, or short whatever it may be to you. She has a plenty of piercing. She has triple holds that have small black studs in them. Her right upper ear has a small black hoop in it. On the right side of her nose is pierced with a small black stud.

She wears those rubber bracelets that are different colors, like black, lime green, blue, red, and etc. She always has her nails painted black, rarely perfect. History: Cinnamon was born about sixteen years ago, yes, sixteen years ago. She was born into a pretty common family. She never really had to do anything to get what she wanted while she was a kid. As she grew older, her family sort of started pushing her away, and she really didn’t care. Her parents signed her up for Karate and Marshal Arts, but she would go for a few months than drop the classes cause it felt like she was being forced to do something and if that was true, then there’s no way in hell she was going to put up with it. She started becoming her parents wild child with her staying out late to being completely sarcastic with her parents. She got into a few…some… fights so far in her school fights but she never really started them. Okay, that’s a lie, she has started them. She never backs down from a fight but she will back down with learning out to fight because it’s over-rated and she already knows how to fight street style. Relationships: Oh, she is best friends with Rainer. lol just kidding, majority. She'll be friends with anybody that'll accept her for who she is. She doesn’t really want to learn about the Slayer stuff so I’m sure her and her trainers will bump heads every now and then. She ends up liking Ryder, which turns into falling for him. We all know how that goes. Extra: -She's a creative person. -She always has her iPod with her or someone where she knows where it is. -She loves eating ice cream during the winter as well as all year long. -She has a knack for art, she is talented but doesn't really have time to do it since she was on the run but she could turn pro with it. -playful

Name: Valentine Leon Age: 316 Species: Vampire Power: Valentine has been a vampire for a while now so he's a skilled fighter and knows how take care of himself. He has supernatural strength and speed, heightened scenes and is immortal. He can also handle small amounts of sunlight, and just that's taken centuries of training. He sees the sun as his enemy and an enemy he can't defeat has always bothered him. Personality: Valentine has been around for centuries and not much can shock him or bother him, he tends to be very impassive, some would even say stoic. Then again those who describe him as stoic don't usually know him very well. His emotions tend to be less intense than an average humans, be an ancient vampire has made him more mellow. He's always up for a good fight against evil, and even as a human was always doing the honorable things, helping out whoever needed it. He tends to have a calmness about him, he's got a sarcastic sense of humor that he usually uses during a fight. Valentines very determined, once he sets his mind on something he rarely fails at it, and he can't stand to lose a fight. Appearance: History: Valentine was born in Spain, he was an only child and his parents died when he was young, around eight. After that he roamed about, learning quickly how to take care of himself, and working various jobs for money. He learned to work hard, only stealing if he had no other options, Valentine never cared for taking the easy way out, and he preferred to earn what he got. He spent most of his life trying to just get buy, and when he had any extra he shared with those less fortunate than he. His life changed about a week after he'd turned 26. He was on his way home when he heard a scream from a near by ally. He didn't even pause to think, he rushed in saw a young woman being mugged. He fought with the man, and bought the woman just enough time to get away before the mugger slashed open his stomach, smacked him around a bit more before leaving Valentine for death. It wouldn't have taken long, his insides were falling out and in a few minutes he's have died had a vampire, the grandfather of the woman he'd saved, given him eternal life. Valentine was given a week long course in how to be vampire then was on his own again. He never saw his sire after that, never really knew what happened to him, and Valentine tried to use the gift he'd been given to make the world better. Not too long ago he came across a slayer, Xandra. They've been seeing each other for almost ten years, and he's not afraid to admit he's in love. She broke things off with him not too long ago and headed to a small town that happens to be over the Gate to Hell around the same time some other nefarious creatures were showing up. Valentine figured something big was about to go down and has decided he will not be left out. Extra: Valentine rarely carries a weapon, preferring to fight with his hands, but occasionally he'll be armed with a stake. He feeds on animal blood rather than human, but prefers catching his own prey rather than buying it, especially if he knows there's a big fight coming up. Fresh blood builds up his strength better.

Name: Spike though many know him as William the Bloody Age: 319 Species: Vampire Power: He has all the basic vampire powers, strong, fast and extreme endurance in addition to a few abilities of his own. Spike is a very versatile fighter, able to adapt quickly in a fight and schooled in various methods of fighting. He is also highly observant and though he is able to lay out careful plans he rarely has the patients to carry them out as planned. He's also skilled in criminal activity, pickpocketing, lock picking, car theft and things like that. Personality: Spike has two separate personalities, the one the world sees and knows him as and the one only shown to Dru. His main personality is cold and ruthless. A true demon really, and seems to be completely evil and callous. The one thing that always makes him smile is to here the screams of his victims, echoing throughout a room, inflicting pain is what he’s best at. Spike enjoys being the sick sadistic vampire that he is; he embraces it completely and without a second thought. Spike is also very jealous just seeing another man talk to his Drucilla drives him crazy, and he also despise her sire Rattlesnake. He is fairly sarcastic, making jokes as he kills his victims, laughing and grinning the whole time. Spike also loves a good fight, any sort of challenge really, he’s a very competitive guy and he has one hell of a temper. Spike also has a softer side, though he shows it only Dru. He would do anything for her, and she is the only person who he cares about more than himself. Dru is only one he has patience with; in fact he finds all of her supposed flaws amusing. He finds her insanity to be refreshing. He is fairly intelligent, but rarely thinks before he acts, and most decisions he makes are very rash, which is one of his biggest weaknesses. Another would probably be his arrogance, as he usually underestimates his opponents. Being a sort of a punk rock sort of guy Spike absolutely hates authority, and hates having anyone tell him what to do. He accepts it from someone he respects, he has no problem doing anything Dru asks of him, and tolerates it from Rainer, most of the time at least. Appearance: www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/12850/james_marsters_spike1.jpg [/img] History: William was born in London in 1691, and grew up as an orphan. His mother had died in child birth and he knows nothing about his father. For the most part he lived on the streets, and while he was younger he was beaten by the older boys and most of what he did have was constantly stolen. He survived as pickpocket, but just barely. He rarely had food, and was always in a fight. In the ended it helped him; so much time fighting made him pretty good at it. He might have lived a short and mediocre life had he not encountered a stroke of luck, whether it was good luck or bad is unclear, but it certainly changed his life forever. One night his skills caught the attention of beautiful, and slightly older, noble woman, who had the misfortune of walking through the bad end of town late at night. He rescued her from some robbers and was rewarded with a job, working at her home. They ended up having an affair, and while he thought he was in love, she was only toying with him. One night at a fancy dinner party he decided to confess his love to her, through poetry as if a normal declaration wasn't bad enough, and he was quickly rejected. She was a wealthy lady, and he was the poor, slightly attractive, boy who worked in kitchen. So he left, got hammered, and ended up running into a mysterious woman at the pub, the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes upon. Drusilla turned him that night and he hasn't left her side since. He calls her his Dark Goddess, and has finds her insanity to be very amusing, he loves that she see the world differently than most people. He has also made quiet the name for himself, and is feared throughout most of the western hemisphere. He killed two slayers; the first was a noble woman during the French Revolution and the other was a punk chick back in his home town of London right after a Sex Pistols concert. Relationships: He’s been in love with Drusilla since the moment they meet, she is the only person he has ever accepted as his equal, and would do just about anything for her. When it comes to Dru, his dark goddess, he is an old school romantic, and head over heal in love. Rainer is his boss and he respects the old demon to an extent, but he clashes heads with any sort of authority. Extra: Spike is a big fan of old school punk rock, bands like the Sex Pistols, Ramones, Richard Hell, Black Flag, old school punk from the 70’s and 80’s. He also loves stealing things, having nice things makes him feel like he’s made something of himself, the sort of thing’s he would’ve never had in his human life, and stealing is like sticking it to lose rich, stuck up people and it keeps him close to his roots. He was always wears an old leather trench coat that he pinched from a slayer he killed.

Name: Ryder James Age: 112, but looks to be in his early 20's Species: Warlock Power: Ryder is extremely gifted in magic, though their have been times when a spell or two has gone terribly wrong. Most of his spells require a ritual to be done or words to be spoke at least but there are a few things he can do on his own, cognitive magic as it's sometimes called. He tries to stay away from dark magics as they can be dangerous and addictive but sometimes they're necessary for the job. Ryder is also immortal, not that it's a normal power for a warlock, but he's got a special sort of curse on him, few know about it and he likes it better that way. Personality: Ryder is known for always lightening up the mood, he's quick to make a joke even in the most dire of situations. He is the sort of person who can stare death in the face and laugh. He likes to make others smile, to bring them some sort of joy. There isn't a whole lot he takes seriously, unless harm comes to someone he cares about. Ryder is generally loyal but if you turn on him he'll drop you without a second thought, and then he can be hard to win back. He doesn't really have a temper, if you upset him he'll either tell you to cut it out or, if it's something unforgivable to him, he'll refuse to acknowledge you. He sees no point in anger, it never leads anywhere good. He's always laid back, soft spoke and calm. He's also a bit of a romantic, and Ryder wears his heart on the outside, for all the world to see, he's never been talented at hiding how he feels or ignoring it. He's usually a happy guy with grin on his face. Appearance: History: Ryder was born just before the twentieth century, his parents were skilled with magic as well and he grew up learning how to things that very few could. He was gifted like his parents and for the most part had a happy and semi normal life. During the 20's things got a little shaky for him, he rarely talks about it and prefers to remember happier times in his unusually long life. He's always loved a good party and he seems to have a story for just about everything. The one story he never tells is what happened to him that lead to his curse. He has been hunting a vampire for several decades and he plans on getting a bit of vengance by stalking him. Also he plans on not letting the world go to hell, literally, because he likes the world. Extra: Like many who practice witchcraft Ryder has a familiar, his name is The Doctor or Doc for short. Ryder is also very afraid of heights and is terrible with directions or getting places on time. After arriving in that small Montana town he falls hard for Cici, not too surprising Ryder always falls hard, especially when there's a blonde involved. Ryder is very much a self proclaimed dork, loving everything sci fi and is great with a computor. The Doctor

Name: Rattlesnake Age: 28, and his real age is, well let's just say he's old. Species: Vampire Power: Basically everything a regular vampire can do, Rattlesnake can do it better or at least better than most, he's old and has had centuries to become a perfect killing machine, much like his name sake the rattlesnake. Personality: Rattlesnake is evil, he kills for money and for sport and enjoys every minute of it. He knows how to control himself, he doesn't give in to his petty emotions, and can be as stoic or as insane as he wants to be. He knows people, and he knows exactly what he needs to do to get under someones skin and the best ways to psychologically torture someone. He is very arrogant, and he always knows he's going to come out on top, no matter the situation. He has a sarcastic way of taunting his victims and opponents. He'll drag a fight out as long as he can, he likes to make others suffer, he loves the sounds of pain. Appearance: History: Even as a kid he people knew h rust wasn't right. He was always mean, and as an adult he tortured people as a profession during the Spanish Inquisition. His talent for causing pain was noticed during his time in England, his home country, by a vampire. He was England and his urge to kill had caught up with him again, and just before he was caught his sire turned him. The vampire was recruiting an army to help bring about an apocalypse at the time, a plan later stopped by a slayer, but Rattlesnake wasn't interested. He wanted to have fun, he wanted to cause massacres. Several years later a woman caught his eye, Drusilla and after playing a few games with the mortal he turned her. He still enjoys tormenting his child when they cross paths, and he absolutely hates Dru's knew boy. He can't stand when another vampire's reputation over shadows his own and Spike has a rep for slayer killing that Rattlesnake has yet to match. Extra: On his left arm he has a tattoo of a rattlesnake whose body wraps around his arm and it's head rests on his inner wrist above his palm.

Xandra had her forehead pressed against the cold glass window of the bus, watching the road go by as the bus drove down the highway. She'd been on the damn thing for hours now, and she couldn't wait to get off it. She hated buses. Well, actually, she hated any form of public transportation, but she didn't have much of a choice. She couldn't afford a car nor car gas if she got a car. She also hated being trapped on a bus with nothing to do but think. The first part of the trip, Xandra had been thinking over what Grimm had said. He'd found the Chosen One, a girl that was a Slayer. . . and only knew she was a Slayer. Grimm hadn't gotten around to telling her that she was the Chosen One yet, because apparently she was giving him trouble with learning how to be a Slayer. Grimm was an old friend of Xandra's, the only watcher she actually liked, and Xandra owed him pretty big. So when he'd called and asked her to come to Montana and help train the newbie, Xandra had reluctantly agreed.
However, no sooner than she'd hung up from Grimm, she'd gotten another call. This one from Josephina, a Soothsayer that Xandra had saved several years ago. Calling to warn her about a vision she'd had. The vision was. . . not something Xandra liked to hear, though she couldn't say it completely surprised her. After sixteen years of being a Slayer, there wasn't much that could faze Xandralexia. After she'd hung up from Josephina, Xandra had went straight to packing her bag. And then broken things off with Valentine and jumped on the first bus out of town. Which, Xandra felt incredibly guilty about. She hadn't told Valentine anything, Just said that she needed some space, and they should stop seeing each other for awhile, and then up and left. She felt guilty because she'd been with him for ten years, yet she'd just up and left suddenly and without an explanation. And even though Xandra would probably never admit it, she already missed him. It was hard not to, even though Xandra wasn't one to show it often, she did care about him. A lot. More than she was willing to even admit to herself. It was funny; evil, twisted beings didn't scare her. Yet falling for someone scared the crap out of her.
Sighing, Xandra squeezed her eyes shut for a moment, trying to push those feelings to the back of her head. It was for Valentine's own good that she left him behind, she silently reminded herself. Normally, Xandra would never have just left him, but after what Grimm and Josephina had told her, she had decided that it would be safer for Valentine to not be involved in the mess that was coming. Of course, Xandra knew Valentine all too well. He was a determined person, or as Xandra liked to call him; stubborn. It was nearly impossible to change his mind, and she highly doubted Valentine would want to be left out of whatever was going down in Montana. So she expected she'd be seeing him pretty soon. She was just trying to get a head start and find out what was going on. Maybe she could try to get the worst of it over with before he got there. She nearly snorted at the thought. Valentine probably wasn't that far behind her. She tried to ignore the little part of her that hoped he would show up.
The squeaky breaks on the bus and the slight jarring motion made Xandra open her eyes. She looked out the window and saw that she was in Jericho, Montana. Sighing, Xandra stood up and grabbed her bag from the seat next to her. She was the only person on the bus besides the driver. Big surprise. She couldn't imagine anyone going to this crappy little town that didn't have to. "You sure you want to get off here, miss?" the driver asked as she reached the front of the bus. Xandra paused, turning to face him. "Why wouldn't I?" she asked, suddenly suspicious. The driver shrugged his shoulders. "Nothing. Just heard rumors about the town, is all," he answered. "Uh-huh. Well, I'm sure I can handle it," she said dryly. Xandra turned and stepped off the bus. No sooner than her feet hit the ground, the bus driver closed the door and pulled away from the curb. Not wasting any time in high tailing it out of there. Xandra shook her head and tilted her head back to look at the sky. It was about an hour after the sun had set. Which meant that the vamps had probably already came out to play. Great, she was just in time for the fun.
Rolling her eyes, Xandra looked around. Grimm had offered to pick her up, but Xandra had turned him down. She knew if Grimm picked her up, he'd insist she stay at his house. And Xandra didn't want to owe Grimm any more than she already did. Sure, Grimm always told her that she didn't owe him anything, but that didn't change how Xandra felt. Taking a deep breath and blowing her bangs out of her eyes, Xandra started to walk forward, but stopped when a sudden lightning bolt zipped across the sky. Xandra frowned, looking up. It was a clear night out, not a storm cloud in sight. Yet there was a loud rumble of thunder that broke the air. One of those that shakes the walls it's so loud. Then, just mere seconds after the thunder, the ground began to shake violently. Cursing under her breath, Xandra tried to keep her balance. But hearing a loud crack noise, Xandra's instincts suddenly told her to move. Having learned a long time ago to listen to her gut, Xandra ran forward. She tripped and fell, hitting the ground and landing on her shoulder, sending a sharp pain through it. But a loud crash behind her toward her the pain in her shoulder was nothing compared to what could have happened. Rolling on her side, Xandra found that a telephone pole had snapped and fallen, and was now laying on the ground directly where she'd been standing just moments ago, live wires laying along the ground sparking.
"Oh, this is off to a good start," she muttered sarcastically.
Climbing to her feet and picking her bag up, she slid it over her shoulder and frowned. There was a faint smell in the air, but she recongized it right away. Sulfur. The sound of a woman screaming snapped Xandra out of her thoughts, and she spun around, seeing a woman run down an ally, being chased by someone. Xandra sighed. "Well, at least it's nor boring around here," she muttered. She took off running after the two, and reached the ally as the man that had been chasing the woman grabbed a hold of her. Before he had a chance to do anything to her, Xandra ran up behind him, shoving her stake into his back. She expected him to turn into dust and crumble to the ground. After all, she'd hit her mark, directly over the heart. But he didn't. Instead, he hissed as Xandra pulled the stake out, let go of the woman, and spun around. Xandra's eyes widened in surprise for just a second as she got a look at the man's face. She'd expected to see a regular full on vamp face. But this was more, and worse. He had a face similar to the one a vampire changes into, but his eyes were coal black, even what should have been the whites. He had an odd shaped tattoo on his right cheek. And when he hissed at her, it was like watching a snake hiss, forked tongue and all. "What. The. Hell?" Xandra said. Even in her sixteen years of being a Slayer, she'd never seen anything like this before.
"Ow, that tickled," the man said. He lunged at Xandra, and she just barely ducked out of the way. "Get out of here. Now!' she snapped at the woman. The woman had appeared to be frozen in place, but snapped out of it at Xandra's voice. She jumped up and took off running out of the ally. The man watched her run, and appeared tempted to chase her, but instead turned his attention back to Xandra. "Eh, she's too easy. Been way too long since I had Slayer blood," he said.
Xandra smirked at him. "Well, it's going to be even longer. Ya know. After I kill you and all," she said sarcastically. Then with that, the fight began. Xandra did a quick spin, bringing her foot up and attempting to nail him in the stomach. But he grabbed her foot, yanking Xandra off balance. Before she could either regain her balance, or fall flat on her butt, the man grabbed her shirt and send her slamming into a dumpster. The loud noise of the metal she slammed into echoed in her head as she landed on the ground with a few colorful curses. Blowing her bangs out of her eyes as she began to climb to her feet, Xandra eyed the man carefully. Trying to figure out the best way to go about handling this unexpected little turn of events. "This is going to be a long night," she muttered.

Dru kept her eyes closed, her head leaned back against the headrest of the passenger's seat in the car she and Spike had stolen a few towns back. Sometimes, Dru's visions would come on their own, and Dru would either get a warning they were coming, or would simply just slip into them without a choice. But other times, like now, she could force a vision of something she wanted to see. Dru's visions had began when she was human, she'd gotten her first one when she was only a little girl. By the time she'd became a vampire at the hands of Rattlesnake, she had gotten use to the visions and could learn certain signs that warned her she was about to have one. Though some still surprised her. But it wasn't until about a hundred or so years after she'd joined the ranks of the undead that she had learned how to force them.
Dru's visions were usually very clear and accurate. However lately, something had been a little off with them. Ever since Rainer had contacted them, wanting to hire them for a job, Dru had been trying to see an outcome of taking the job. Or even what the job was. Rainer had been pretty vague about it, only telling them that he wanted them to bring someone to him. Not who, or why. Nothing. He'd simply said that he would explain when they got there. But she couldn't get a clear picture, it was like a TV channel that was nothing but fuzz. The more she tried, the worse the headache was she'd get from it. Not that that stopped Dru from trying. The fact that her visions weren't coming in clearly was highly annoying to her, and she was determined to keep trying until she got something. It wasn't until they were nearly in Jericho, Montana when she finally got something other than static. It wasn't much, just a picture of a blonde girl. Teen age, sixteen maybe. And something told Dru that the girl she was seeing was a Slayer. But that there was something else about her, something that made her different from other Slayers. But when she tried to push and figure out what it was, her headache increased. Dru gritted her teeth, but the vision faded and Dru snapped back to reality. She cringed slightly, bringing her hand up to rub her temples.
"That is annoying," she muttered under her breath. Dru hated not having full control over her visions. Shaking her head and trying to shake off the lingering fuzziness from her brain that always happened when she got a vision, she turned in her seat to face Spike. "There's a slayer in Jericho. Little blonde thing, late teens. Newbie. That might be what Rainer wants us for," she mused. "There's something else about her, but I can't seem to reach it. Kind of like a star, you can see it out of focus, but it's just out of reach," she added. Which, while it was an odd thing to say, it wasn't nearly as odd as half of the things Dru tended to come up with.
