Minx Teresku

Minx is older than her twin brother Binx by one minute. She shares with Binx an innate telepathic ability. Like Binx, she had difficulty fitting in with society and when they were orphaned coaxed him into joining a street gang of pickpockets. Unlike him, she took to vampirism like duckling takes to water. When Lady Minerva Teresku, head of the Teresku family, took them in, Minx could not wait to officially take her bite and be gifted immortality.

Minx fawns over the Teresku name and noblesse oblige of taking care of human longevity to ensure vampires have a stable food supply. Because of this, she is sociable and often volunteers to assist humans of all ages while the sun is down. She enjoys working soup kitchens, reading to the elderly, and visiting kids in hospice the most. Her eagerness is greater than her power. She can only use hypnosis on docile individuals and creatures. Still, she works hard doing what she can to honor the family name, a fact that makes Kathello, Minerva's protege and most likely to inherit family rule, relieved that there's at least one family member who isn't shirking their duty.

Due to her busy schedule, Minx rarely has time to help with duties around Castle Teresku. Even so, she keeps the spaces she uses tidy and obtains any supplies she thinks the family might need whenever she's in town.

Minx is often ready with a laugh, a smile, and a joke to uplift the spirit of those around her. She can't stand to see someone depressed. This leads her to sometimes offering unwanted advice.

Despite her delicate appearance, her human life created tomboy habits which have not changed now that she is a vampire. She does own dresses but prefers comfortable simple clothes.

She hates being alone for long periods of time.

Her ideal day when she's not volunteering is camping in the dense woods behind Castle Teresku while scavenging for forest goods or spying cute animals, or partying at a nightclub in the town 20 miles from home. She has many friends of all races and supports the Coexist faction to the point of providing handouts and scheduling meetings about how humans and vampires can and do live peaceful lives together.

When Minx hunts humans, it is always to find a fresh and willing participant. She never murders and her fangs barely bruise the skin, so careful and precise is her bite. She can't stomach the blood bags that her brother prefers because it tastes like plastic. She deeply wishes her brother can find a way out of his shell with at least one person.

World:

Vampires rule the world from the shadows. But even in their powerful and imperious society, there is conflict. Four ruling families maintain a tenuous balance of order among chaos. Families are Teresku, Qa'n, Erenbrey, and Paschel. Each specializes in a vampiric power. Each family has a noble crest. Each family has a noblesse oblige.

Qa'n: Power specialty - shapeshifting. Nobel Crest - black bat. Noblesse oblige - mediation of all creatures.

Erenbrey: Power specialty - physical enhancement. Nobel Crest - red dragon. Noblesse oblige - continuity of vampiric authority.

Paschel: Power specialty - telekinesis. Nobel Crest - white hand. Noblesse oblige - continuity of balance between the four families. Universal advantages of all vampires are vision, smell, hearing, immortal, healing. Specialty powers that come from one of the 4 families are hypnosis, telekinesis, shapeshifting, strength and speed.

Political Structure: Vampiric council is made up of a leader from each family as well as the vampiric leader of each nation. The council is largely divided into two factions. Purists are vampires who feel humanity is cattle and should be treated as such. Vampires should not rule from the shadows. Second are the Traditionalists who do not seek change of the current structure. A minor but quickly growing faction are vampires who seek coexistence with humanity, no longer in the shadows but not for the purpose of rule.
