About - • Selvara was born in a cave, alone with her vampire parents. Though, she was abandoned at birth. In an attempt to shield their daughter from oncoming humans, they sacrificed themselves to protect and hide their daughter. The day after that night, a member of the "Crimson Knights" found the crying Selvara in a cave. Though his duty was to kill vampires such as Selvara, he couldn't bring himself to harm a newborn baby. This Knight was called "Dutch", or atleast, that was what everyone called him. Dutch didn't want to harm a baby, so he spared Selvara. Infact, he even took her in as his own. He raised her up, concealing her identity as a vampire and pretending she was human. Selvara was very smart for her age, and she knew she had to hide the fact she was a vampire. She had to rely on drinking cows blood that Dutch would give her, to quench her hunger for real human blood.

• Dutch hadn't considered to think vampires were immortal, so whilst he grew older Selvara was barely growing at all. By the time he had retired from being a Knight, Selvara was only just a teenager. He soon wasn't able to leave the house, the now old Dutch had to rely on Selvara to run errands. Unfortunately, Vampires aren't able to handle sunlight. The pain it brings them is too severe. So, Dutch tried to train Slevara to get used to sunlight. Slowly, Selvara adapted. Going from horrible burns to just a mild tingling sensation. But by then, it was too late. Selvara returns home one day to find Dutch dead. His age had caught up. Selvara was heartbroken that her adoptive father had died. The Crimson Knights held a funeral for his death. At this funeral, Selvara decided to become a Knight and honor her fathers legacy.

• The knights accepted her, not knowing she was a vampire. She trained hard, hunting her own kind just to blend in. She had to survive on her own, avoiding as much human contact as possible. She figured the less she spoke to others, the lower chance she had of getting caught. She still had to dribk cows blood in private, but the taste of human blood was like a dream. It was something she craved, desperately trying to hold those urges back.

• Selvara became a respected Knight and role model, earning title "Dame", and now being formally referred to as "Dame Selvara Nocturne". Nocturne was supposedly chosen by Dutch, reasons unknown. Slevara hasn't got much of an idea about her parents, barely knowing anything about them other than the fact they existed and died. She has lived for 1 century and 4 decades, approaching her 5th decade soon. Her view on her life has grown bleak. She doesn't find human life valuable anymore, and feels empty. She blames her immortality as a vampire, she's going to outlive everyone for thousands of years. That's most likely why she doesn't see the world the same most people do, especially after losing everyone close to her. She doesn't think herself as a vampire, despite knowing she is. She's killed so many vampires she only views them as monsters.

• Slevara speaks some French, as she was born there. She mixes some in with her English speech. Though, she sounds posh so she doesn't have an accent.

• Selvara uses a sword made out of a Crimson metal. The material is unknown, but it's very sturdy. It's an alternative to the silver swords other knights use. She says it's because she hates the silver swords, but in reality holding one would cause immense bleeding.

About, Vampires - • Vampires are a human-like race, characterised by their 2 long, sharp fangs and pale skin (some vampires have pointy ears, but this is rare).

• Vampires are often stronger, faster and smarter than humans. Though, the species is being hunted to extinction. As of now, only around >50,000 exist, the rest have been killed.

• They have been deemed as monsters by humans, and this is due to their diet consisting of human blood. Vampires need to drink human blood in order to survive. They can substitute this using other blood (e.g animal blood), but this only nullifies the effects for so long. Eventually, it'll hardly work to satiate their hunger for blood. Vampires don't need to eat, but they can if they wish to.

• Vampires have many weakness. The main one being sunlight, burning their skin and causing them severe agony (in some cases even burning them to dust). Vampires can build an immunity, but this is hard to do and time consuming. A few other weaknesses include; Garlic (the smell repels them), holy water (burns them, similar to sunlight), sliver (also acts as a repellent, and often deals more damage to vampires than other metals), wooden stakes (stabbing a vampire in the heart with a stake can kill them immediately)

• Some vampires have perks. For example, some can turn into a bat whilst others can see in the dark (among various other abilities). Selvara, for example, has night vision. Though, she can't do other vampire things.

About, Crimson Knights - • A royal army dedicated to hunting vampires. The king has funded and invested alot into this project, and it has worked extremely well. Every day, atleast 3 vampires are killed. The Crimson Knights have everyone, from weaker soldiers to very powerful warriors. Since its funded by the King himself, the main headquarters are very fancy, often being compared to a castle. The sleeping quarters have giant bedrooms with King sized beds in each, the lunch hall having premium chefs and the training grounds containing the best equipment.

• Originally created because of the myth "Vampires love the taste of Royal blood", the Crimson Knights have lasted for nearly 200 years. And estimated 2,000,000 Vampires have been killed because of the knights, though the number of daily kills shrinks due to the species near extinction. Who knew a Kings paranoia would cause him to go to such extreme lengths as to cause mass genocide against an entire race?

• No Crimson Knight know of Selvaras identity as a vampire. Only Dutch knows, but he's dead. If they ever found out, Selvara would be tortured for weeks before inevitably dying a gruesome death. Even the arrogant Selvara fears this fate, and would do anything to stop it from happening.

Selvara's Likes and Dislikes -

• Likes: • The Moon (she loves gazing at it, as well as star gazing. She finds comfort and warmth in the Celestial body) • Coffee (she prefers staying up late to hunt, or find an excuse to go outside and enjoy nature. Coffee gives her that littke boost she needs everyday) • Nature (speaking of. She feels at home when in a forest or gorgeous scenery. She especially likes ponds and waterfalls. Fortunately, there's one by the Crimson Knights headquarters) • Sleeping (not necessarily actual sleep,but just laying in bed with nothing but her thoughts. It gives her time to think about what's she's done over her long life) • Training (she loves physical exercise. Whether its sparring, or going to the Crimson Knights' gym, she loves being active. Though, she never gains any muscle so its impossible to see any progress outside of vampire hunting. Her genes make her strong regardless) • Poetry (she loves being poetic in her speech too. Poetry is like a puzzle and a story to her. she has to find the meaning to truly enjoy it. it gives a depth unlike traditional stories, that depth feeling like something in that emptiness she has) • Bathing (she likes feeling clean. Whilst vampires can swim, and go in water, it can begin to sting after a while. So, whenever she does bathe she can't do it for long. Despite having access to clean water, she prefers bathing in lakes or rivers as it feels more natural to her) • Painting (whilst she can't paint herself, she admires the hard work and craft done by an artist. Her favourite colour is red, it reminds her of blood) • Blood (after many years of drinking animal blood, often from a cow or pig, the taste has grown disgusting to her. Its grown too repetitive and she no longe enjoys it. This isn't good, as its harder for her to find a source of blood. And excuse of this, she has to starve herself more than usual to ration blood. And every Knight, she can feel her self salivating and wondering what even a drop of human blood would taste like. She's doing a great job at holding her urges back, but it becomes increasingly difficult every day) • Reading (to her, gaining knowledge is refreshing. Whether its fictional or not, she enjoys digging into a good book now and then) • Pastries (a quick and tasty snack. She packs a few before hunting, since they're so easy to eat)

• Dislikes: • Garlic (to her, it smells disgusting. Also, being near it gives her this very nauseous feeling) • Silver (while it doesn't do anything, she knows that I could. She knows that even a blunt piece of silver can cause severe scarring for her. So she avoids it as much as possible) • Sunlight (whilst she has built an immunity to it, it still feels like an annoying tingling sensation on her skin. Despite it being harnlesss, it distracts her alot) • Drunkards (she's had her fair share of experiences when guys would walk up to her, drunk, and emboldened would try and ask for a 'good night'. She avoids pubs, bars and taverns) • Hunting (she doesn't like killing Vampires. Each kill feels wrong, even if she has to do it to survive. She's forcing herself to see vampires as monsters, by that only makes herself a monster...) • Her loneliness (having no friends or family is quite harsh. The most interaction she gets is with other Knights and occasionally peasants who report a problem or for small talk) • Milk (Even she herself doesnt know why she hates it so much. Its good for her, especially her fangs, but she hates the taste)
