Full Name: Amilie DuVall
Age: 827 (Born in 1180 but looks to be a young woman of about 24)
Race: Born Vampyr
Appearance: Long dark hair that makes her bright blue eyes stand out. Amilie is of average height with slim shoulders and breasts in proportion to her build.
Skills/Strengths: a fast runner, a good jumper and very strong, Amilie has all the usual vampyr traits. Amilie can go out during the day but her powers are severely reduced. She also has mild telepathic abilities, being able to read someones thoughts and send thoughts of her own but not being able to influence someone else.
Weaknesses: Fire.
Likes: crucifixes, classical music, a good book
Dislikes: techno music, killing when she feeds.
Background: Amilie DuVall was born on Midsummer Night 1180, from the illegitimate union of to young vampires from rival French clans. As such she was taken to the Vampire temple in England and left in the care of the blind monks there. She was a good student and learnt to read and write English, and read, write and speak French and Latin. It was a good life for Amilie, who grew in short bursts due to her heritage.
Over four century’s after Amilie’s birth, when King Henry the 8th broke away from the Pope, the Vampire’s monastery was destroyed and Amilie was forced to flee. She searched for shelter in the dead of night as the monastery burned behind her. Suddenly she felt the warmth of the sun begin and knew she must find shelter soon or she would burn. As the sun crept higher towards the horizon Amilie began to panic and when the sun rose properly she curled up on the ground, waiting for her skin to turn to ashes. But that never happened. It was on that day that Amilie discovered, to her great delight that she could walk in the sun without being burned like other vampires.
After that she began to realize that even a vampyr needs money and began to take up jobs around the country, gaining money under false names. Not only did she legitimately gain money but she also stole from her employers, due to her swift hands she was never really suspected.
Because of her dealings on both sides of the law she soon had a small fortune under her real name in the banks. She continued to work to increase her fortune but also traveled more. Soon she was bound for the land of her birth; France.
Almost five and a half centuries since her birth Amilie sought out her two parents clans. She found only a handful of fallen nobles that cowered at her presence. Her parents she found out were dead due to the betrayal of their respective clans.
Knowing she was the most powerful vampire of the two clans she united the clans under the DuVall name and created a family crest that combined the two families. She had the crest mounted on a silver ring that had been her fathers. She also received a gold ring that had been her mothers.
Time passed and Amilie grew restless with ruling the vampires. She devised a test to decide who should rule in her stead. A young vampire named Mikel won and so for nearly a century Amilie wandered Europe, learning many new skills and amassing more riches. When she returned she found that Mikel was not so willing to relinquish his power. This ended in a bloody battle that Amilie and her supporters won. Beheading Mikel and all of his supporters Amilie once more took up her position of power.
But once more ill feeling crept into the vampire nation and Amilie decided that instead of fighting the natural vampire way she would leave and let them fight for their own leaders.
Vowing to only return if called Amilie packed her things and moved back to England where she rented a flat in the Kensington area of London, amongst the hustle and bustle of the late Victorian era.
She did not stay there for long, she soon moved again, and again soon after that.
Amilie is now looking for somewhere to settle for good, unless of course, the vampires call her back.
