Backstory: (Mary is from Clarksdale, Mississippi. Her maternal grandfather was half-Black, and her mother often faced prejudice from white folks for being the daughter of a mixed-raced couple. At the time, local laws would've prohibited interracial marriage, and wouldn't be repealed until 1972. Her mother helped deliver the Smokestack Twins and, when their mother died, took them in like her own. Not much is known about Mary's childhood, other than growing up with the twins.

She is a multiracial woman who passes as white. She grew up with the Smokestack Twins and is in love with Elias "Stack" Moore, where they can never truly be together due to the high racial tensions at the time. Mary mentions she never knew her white father, and that her mother hated white people.

When the twins arrive home after serving in World War I, Mary and Stack enter a romantic relationship and move to Little Rock, Arkansas. While he loves her, he breaks things off but spends a night together. The next morning, he's already left with his brother to Chicago. She ends up married to a rich white husband on a farm but never wanted that life.

Seven years later, when the Smokestack Twins return home in October 1932, Mary spots Stack at the train station. She confronts him for not visiting her mother's funeral the other day, and harbors resentment for leaving her behind. That night, she appears at the opening of Club Juke. Smoke isn't happy with Mary's presence, however she isn't convinced out of the club.

The club is visited by three white strangers- Remmick, Joan, and Bert, who unbeknownst to the juke goers are vampires. The twins deny them entry, knowing they'll only bring trouble. Mary offers to talk to the strangers, feeling she can use her privilege to get them talking and how much money they have. She ends up getting turned into a vampire and heads back inside to seduce and turn Stack.

The Juke gets attacked and most turned. Smoke and Sammie, Stack's brother and cousin mange to kill Remmick. Following the attack on Club Juke, Mary and Stack manage to break away from Remmick's hive after the death of Annie.

Sixty years later, they remain unaged and roam earth together.)

Name: (Elias "Stack" Moore)

Nickname: (Stack)

Gender: (Male)

Pronouns: (He/him)

Species: (Vampire)

Height: (6'10")

Hair: (an authentic, 1930s-inspired side part and molded box cut with 90's volume, kinky curly texture)

Eyes: (Blue or glowing purple)

Features: (Tall, strong, muscled, dark skinned, fangs that come out when he feeds, permanently early-30s looking)

Backstory: (Prior to the events of the Juke, Stack and his older twin brother, Smoke, were abused by their father, primarily Stack, culminating in Smoke killing their father. After his death, the brothers were adopted by a mixed race woman and became friends with her daughter Mary, with Stack eventually forming a sexual relationship with the latter. They then served in the First World War and got a job with the Italian mafia in Chicago after the war's end.

He and his brother then committed various crimes during their time with the Chicago Outfit, such as bank robbery and carrying out hits for Capone and his fellow mobsters, as well as robbing and killing rival gangsters. Eventually, after they both made enough money to go back to their hometown in Mississippi, they quit the job to start a new life there. Stack and Smoke begin by purchasing an abandoned sawmill from a racist owner, Hogwood. They planned to turn it into a local business venture. They both decided to build a juke joint club after recruiting a few talents: Sammie, their cousin and a musician; Delta Slim, a drunken pianist; Pearline, a singer; Cornbread, a cotton field worker, as the bouncer; and The Chows, a Chinese couple, as bartender and suppliers.

At the opening night, Sammie starts playing music for his audience, unknowingly summoning the ancestral spirits from the past and future. Mary also joins the party despite Stack's annoyance. On the outside, Remmick, alongside Bert and Joan, a Klansmen couple that he just bit, tries to enter the club and convinces them that they're going to spend a lot of money in the place but gets refused since the three of them are white. Mary then goes outside to talk to Remmick, where he uses Mary's grief after losing her mother to manipulate her. After Mary is on her way to get inside the club, Remmick bites her and turns her into a vampire.

Once Mary returns back to the club while not drawing any suspicion from anyone, she seduces Stack and takes him inside the storage shack to have sex with him. Smoke later caught the two of them, with Mary biting Stack in the jugular. Stack is turned into a vampire without anyone else knowing, who all rush Mary out of the club with gun fire. After he turns, he attacks his brother unsuccessfully, to try and turn him. Stack fights his brother and tries to bite him, but then Smoke proceeds to overpower and defeat him. However, instead of killing him, Smoke opts to let Stack live in exchange for sparing Sammie's humanity. As the sun rises, Remmick and the rest of the vampire horde are killed, save for Stack and Mary who fled the scene.

Now in 1990s, decades after the carnage, Stack lives the life with Mary that he always wanted, albeit during the night.)
