Beauty of the Beast

Oh!! I love it dear!! oh my goodness love it!!

Sammoyke Murasaki is devoted entirely to annihilating half-bloods that are turned by the Akka family because of his personal vendetta to their current leader, Lucien Akka, whose brother, Sabien Akka ,murdered Sammoyke’s first and last Deliciolum, Takahiro Mejiro. Sammoyke was disowned from The Royal Vampire Family Empire, against the Murasaki and Kiro families wish when Sammoyke broke a royal law and killed Sabien for his crime against Takahiro. Exactly 100 years later,Sammoyke saves Takahashi Mejiro, a decedent of his late Deliciolum, and finds himself unable to leave him alone. Sammoyke’s house consists of roaming Mystics he has met over the past 150 years that have one reason or another no place to go. Even though he actively pursues Lucien’s vassals for personal reasons he is not opposed to eliminating other Mystics that harm or kill humans.He is gentle and soft spoken but has a cold and vicious side when it comes to the Akka Clan’s vassals. He is often stern and overprotective with Takahashi and his friends but usually sets it aside for the sake of humans if it is necessary.

After being saved from a brutal attack from a half-breed lycan by Sammoyke Murasaki , Takahashi Mejiro has had an almost unnatural connection to him. Upon the attack not having an effect on Takahashi’s body, a blood test was done revealing Takahashi to be a full-blood lycan, a rarity among lycans since majority of lycans are sterile. In spite of this, however, Takahashi has not ever experienced the changes that occur with normal Lycan genetics leading to believe they are possibly recessive.Convinced that Sammoyke is the same man that he has had a reoccurring dream of since he was 18 and filled with questions about the nature of the attack he endured, he berated Sammoyke until he finally told him the truth.Takahashi’s Grandfather is Sammoyke’s father’s Deliciolum. His mother was killed by Baryn Akimoto,second in command of a half-breed lycan pack that is well known for their cruelty to humans and crime related violence. It is still unknown why they targeted his mother but it was insinuated she put Takahashi into hiding in a human orphanage to keep him away from the Akimoto Gang. His goal is to find out who his father is and why his mother was killed, and why he dreams of memories with Sammoyke that he has not lived.


When she was a young mermaiden Amavanna witnessed a young boy thrown into the vast ocean waters during a terrible storm. She attempted to save the boy but the wild current and her lack of magical ability at that age left her unsuitable for the task. In great dismay the boy drowned in spite of her grueling attempts. When the waters calmed she attempted to bring the boy’s body up to the ship he was thrown from. When the ship’s inhabitants saw the boy they unleashed their vengeance on Amavanna, assuming she was taunting them with the boy’s demise, they fired weapons at her, though she refused to flee, trying desperately to tell them that she apologized for being able to save the boy. Unfortantely they didn’t understand her siren laungage.Her desperete apologies only sounded like shrill jeers. Unwilling to drag the boy down the water with her but also too terrified to the leave the boy’s body on the rocks,for fear weapons would deface the boys corpse she simply she lay cowered protecting the body and pleading. It was her father that eventually heard her pleas and his unbridled fury for their mistreatment to his kindest daughter he over-turned the ship and killed all who was aboard. This however did not console Amavanna and only deepened her unrest that her desire to help somehow led to such blood shed. Angry at her father for his cruel punishment and disappointed in herself she left the aid of her father’s kingdom and spent majority of her youth a lone siren, a rather dangerous life style but one she survived for nearly three hundred years.

Before he was a Kitsune spirit, Kaen was an ordinary Red Fox. When he was 2 years old, he was teasing a trapper's hounds and tricking them so that could their prime cuts of beef they would leave in their bowls. One day in the middle of a particularly brilliant scheme, a little human girl, no older than two herself, also go caught up in his trick. Her life in danger, Kaen hurriedly backtracked to save the girl, he succeedd but the girl's father saw the fox with the unconscious girl in his mouth and immediately assumed the worse. The father took his hounds and chased Kaen deep into the woods but being the clever fox that he was, he escaped. Furious that such a skilled trapper could be fooled by a simple fox he took all the fox holes and set fire to them. Hundreds of foxes lost their lives but Kaen still evaded. The trapper's daughter watched for years as her father's obsession for trapping foxes grew worse and she pleaded to the gods to protect the fox that saved, the memory strangely keen in the young girl's mind. Kaen meanwhile grew forlorn with guilt at the many fox lives lost because of him and at eight years old was growing slower. He decided to present himself to the trapper and walk boldly to his own demise. however, the trapper's daughter, now eight years old, recognized the fox at once and when the trapper raised his ax to behead this vile vermin that had tried to steal his daughter's life , she threw herself in the ax's path. Instead of the ax landing on the girl, it landed squarely on the back of a young boy with the ears, tail and eyes of a fox who had intersected the ax. Dismayed and confused the trapper took the fox boy home, mended and raised him alongside his daughter as his own son. It is Kaen's belief his human' sister's ' prayers blessed him with his spiritual transition.


Ryker in his previous life was a regular calico cat. His mistress was a half-elf sorceress, Arabella Chalice. She was betrayed by her student, Nissa. who sold her out to a lord as an evil witch who was planning to steal his unborn son. The Lord didn’t heed this warning since Arabella had been known for her kind and often wonderous miracles. Nissa disguised herself with dark magic and tricked the Lord into seeing Arabella as Nissa herself kidnapped the lord’s son on his first birthday. Arabella was sentenced to burn at the stake in spite of all of her pleas. Ryker, a mere house pet and animal companion could do nothing but watch her beloved friend burn at the stake. In his distasteful grief, however, Nissa told the Lord that a witch could be reborn inside their animal companions and so Ryker too was slain. However, he awoke at the spot of his “death” not quite human or feline but with an affirmed purpose, to find and destroy Nissa for her betrayal to Arabella. A self-proclaimed “witch hunter” Ryker found Kaen in the hands of a Crone, a particularly ugly and strong type of mountain witch that enjoys eating young travelers to sustain her strength and enslaving stray mystics to do her lude bidding. Upon freeing Kaen he became rather attached to Ryker, to Ryker’s frank dismay. Having nowhere to really go Kaen insisted on following Ryker wherever he went until he could pay his debt for freeing him. Even though Ryker has absolutely no interest in this debt being paid he doesn’t really persuade him to leave his side. Because of his Mistress being betrayed Ryker has a difficult time trusting but Kaen, Sammoyke, and Amavanna having spent a century earning his trust and he is very loyal to them.

In spite of his race’s name Garden Faye’s are more elf-like than a fairy. Because of their nature to nurture flowers and trees and garden creatures many garden fayes ended up in servitude to humans, witches, and banshees by capturing them and removing their wings they would then promise to return their wings so long as they tended their garden. Most of the time they were tricked and their wings never returned. Midori was tricked in such a way himself by a Banshee. He was rescued by Sammoyke’s father many years ago and upon getting his wings back he vowed to serve the murasaki family willingly and lovingly. He tended to his father’s crops and flowers and herbs for decades until Sammoyke was banished from the main house after the “Akka Incident” Because of Sammoyke’s intense passion and respect for roses he became fond of Sammoyke and desired to leave with him, he asked permission from Sammoyke’s father , whom agreed readily, and he tends comfortably to Sammoyke’s roses everyday , along with a rather beautiful and large garden to Midori’s liking, after Sammoyke gifted the entire yard to Midori to “do as he pleases” this was seen as somewhat of a treasure and his loyalty and devotion to giving Sammoyke the most radiant garden ever was increased. Even though Midori is generally the type to be seen talking to plants and watering flowers he isn’t someone to threaten or antagonize. His bond with the earth is very strong and he is quite capable of defending himself from physical danger. Magic, however, frightens him mostly due to his past expierences at being beaten by it.


When his wife, Asaka was murdered by Delilah Akka , Valerian Kiiro was left to raise his daughter alone. Griefstricken he fled to his best friend, Sammoyke Murasaki for comfort and refuge. He opened his home to his cousin and Amelia brings a lot of youthful cheer to the household. Even though Val generally dislikes fighting and doesn't participate in Mystic Hunters or associate with the affairs of The Royal Vampire Family Empire since his wife's death he does have an off handed goal to avenge his wife somehow. He loathes Delilah Akka for taking wife's life but Val's empathetic abilities unique to him and his brother Thaddeus allow him to feel her obsessive emotions of lust and love that Delilah has for Val that causes him to pity her as much as he hates her. This prevents him from seeking vengeance through her death but leaves him feeling weak and guilty. he instead focuses nearly all of his time with his daughter and acting that parental voice of reason in the house. he often scolds Kaen for being too wild and carefree around Amelia but to his dismay, Kaen is one of Amelia's favorite people. His ability to feel other's emotions and sense their energy make it rather easy for him to read and access people which he uses to his advantage without self-reproach


Because she was so young , Amelia Kiro doesn’t remember much of her mother but sometimes has dreams of a beautiful dark haired woman singing to her, she wakes up feeling warm and safe but a little sad. Her father is never but a few steps away so she often drifts back to sleep. When she isn’t being doted on by her father, who is the most precious person to Amelia, she enjoys getting into a little bit of trouble. Pulling up daisies in Midori’s garden always gets a funny reaction out of him and the Big Cow Plant will toss her high in the sky and her father will have to fly up and catch her before she lands. This is always fun but her father seems to find it very infuriating. When she isn’t enjoying the garden she likes to sneak up on Kaen while he is napping and curl up for a few zzz’s herself after several minutes of trying to wake him up ends in total failure. She usually avoids Ryker who is kinda scary to Amelia but she knows since Kaen always gets so happy and his heart beats like crazy when he is around that he must be nicer than he seems. Like her father, she has the ability to feel emotions and read the energy of those around her and so sometimes she has a hard time figuring out when she is feeling certain things because she feels them or because other people are projecting their feelings onto her. She doesn’t consciously know she knows this but she has grown to be introverted all the same, preferring to stay at home with her family rather than be around a lot of people, especially strangers. Amavanna is one of her favorite people to be around when Amelia is upset with her father, likely cause Amavanna is also empathetic by nature and she can relate to fatherly disdain.


Thaddeus's mother died giving birth to him and so was raised by his father and older brother. He was born shortly after the Akka Betrayal so he failed to experience having a Deliciolum so he was a part of the generation of Royal Family that began to rely on Plasma Replacements created by alchemists in lue of human blood. In spite of the on-going war between clans and his timid nature he became unlikely friends with Trey Akka. After convincing the Kiro Clan to trust Trey’s plan, he and Trey were responsible for eliminating Ciera Akka and effectively saving Trey’s little brother’s life and countless of human lives. After the effective plan, Sammoyke Murasaki considered Thaddeus a reliable asset and trusted him with the task of checking on Takahashi to ensure he wasn’t getting into too much trouble because of his unruly friend. Upon seeing how Rey behaved he spoke his mind ,unusually blunt, after rescuing him from an unsavory situation. Shortly after that initial meeting, Thaddeus found himself checking on Rey over the next few years, noticing that while his aggressive and arrogant attitude seemed impossible to cure, his motives and reasons for fighting seemed to have gotten a far cry nobler. After watching Rey start to backslide when Takahashi started distancing himself from him to protect him the supernatural dangerous of his new life Thaddeus took it upon himself to tell Rey the truth of what Takahashi was dealing with.To his surprise, Rey claimed that his encounter with him years ago had changed him and now that he has met him again he wouldn’t let him fly out of his life so easily this time. Consequently, Rey ends up being the closest thing to a Deliciolum that he would experience.


Growing up in the same orphanage as Takahashi since he was an infant, Rey Nova didn’t know either of his parents nor has he ever displayed much interest in knowing why he ended up an orphan. He and Takahashi were usually at the hip in their youth and got into a lot of trouble, usually, due to the “brilliant” ideas, Rey would conjure up. It resulted in him and Takahashi ending up fights with older boys and they learned to take a hit and get back up. Unfortunately it also meant they were getting into dangerous situations and finding minor trouble with the law, both of them have seen the inside of a juvenile detention center by the time they were 11 years old. Sammoyke had asked Thaddeus to check on Takahashi due to an ill feeling that he was in danger. Instead of Takahashi in peril, however, he found Rey , then 15, who was in a particularly tight spot without Takahashi there to help him. Thaddeus came to his rescue, told Rey that his lifestyle would lead him down a path that Thaddeus found shameful, that his constant search for trouble was a waste of his strength. His words and the image of Thaddeus showing up by literally dropping out of the sky was eroded into his mind. The more years that passed the deeper the image seemed to bore into his head. When Rey was 23 he had bombarded his best friend Takahashi to explain why he had been so distant and eventually Thaddeus showed up to explain the irregular details of Takahashi’s fate. Having finally been given the chance to meet Thaddeus again he slowly wormed his way into Thaddeus’s life and his heart, a feat that was not hard considering he already cared a great deal for Rey after having watched him for the past 7 years.


Noah’s birth was one of bizarre circumstances. His mother, an unspecified mystic, put Noah’s father in a trance-like spell that made him believe she was his late wife. After a night spent with her she disappeared and the trance was lifted. Remembering the events that happened,he bitterly sent his two eldest sons to hunt the she-devil down that tricked him into betraying his beloved. They did find her, in a fairly weakened state just having given birth to Noah. It was discovered her goal was one of adisturbing nature, her source of life and vitality comes from consuming the hearts of her own infant children, gaining their genetic strengths in the process. She had desired the powers the vampire heart offspring could provide her. Val and Thaddeus swiftly disposed of her before she could carry out this monstrous deed and took Noah home with them. It took many years for his father to accept Noah, who initially wanted him exterminated. His elder brothers, whom were both kind and forgiving like their late mother, refused to do such a horrible thing to an innocent child. To make matter’s stranger still his mother’s genetics led to strange medical anomalies in Noah. He does not experience blood thirst, the taste of blood is atrocious to him, having only tried it once out of curiosity rather than urge. He also seems to lack a great deal of physical strength that most vampires have, however, what he lacks in might he makes up with in mental capacity as he is one of the smartest in the entire Royal Vampire Family Empire. He is still capable, however, of turning humans, which he has done to save his human best friend from an unsightly death when he protected Noah from being attacked by an Akka Clan member.


At 7 years old Salvation watched his parents be brutally devoured by half-blood vassals of the Akka Clan. He was saved, by Sammoyke Murasaki who disposed of the vassals that killed his parents but he was forever tinctured by the horror that happened that night. His heart hardened by his desire to destroy the Akka Clan, but having been saved by Sammoyke who was also a vampire, his loathing didn't extend to abominating the entire vampire race. On one particular mission he attempted to get the wereabouts to Lucien Akka, an enemy of Sammoyke's that he wished to bring an end to as his own way of repaying the debt of avenging his parents when he was too young and weak to do it himself. Unfortunately Sal was tricked into believing Noah's home was the location of Lucien and he went quickly to purge him. By the time he realized he was sent to the wrong location it was too late and an Akka vassal attempted to assassinate the two of them. Sal in desperation intercepted an attack that would have killed Noah, Moments later Thaddeus arrived and disposed of the threat but Noah, who felt weak and useless having to be saved by a human asked him if he would accept being his vassal and take the gift of immortality so that he had the to carry out his heart's vengeance on the Akka Clan. Thaddeus warned him of the dangers of taking a vassal, that the responsibility was much different than having a Deliciolum, but Noaha dismissed this and and Sal whose unyielding heart didn't want to die until the Akka Clan was destroyed, accepted. Salvation was a given name from Noah when he him as he saw Sal as his savior.


Hashihime's name was given to her at her demonic birth. In her mortal life, filled with rage and jealousy towards her ex-husband who had thrown her away for another woman, she threw herself over a bridge and was devoured by the raging waters beneath it. Reborn a vengeful class 5 demon with no recollection of her previous mortal life, she spent hundreds of years carrying out the heinous torture of lower level demons and mortals who were imprisoned for various reasons in the demon realm. Over time she became a class 3 demon which allowed her to return to the human realm but under the pretext of servitude to mortals at the cost of their soul. The devouring of these souls increases their power and enables them to interact with the human world more freely. Unfortunately, she was tricked into a contract with an Akka Clan Vampire at the cost of his soul only to find that the vampire didn’t have a soul it could take. Trapped in a contract with no benefits she was not a servant but a slave to the Akka Clan. Given orders, she attempted to assassinate Thomassin Kiro but this was thwarted when Thomassin, who was able to use his prowess to dive deep into her subconscious soul and find the memories of her previous life as well as finding out her real name, Rosetta Moreira. After hearing her name spoken she realized why fate had brought her to the servitude of the Akka clan for her master was the very mistress that her human had abandoned her for. She was beaten by Thomassin who told her that though he had no soul to give her he would free her from her servitude by killing the woman that her lover betrayed her for. She agreed to this and thus when Ciera was killed Hashihime remained under the servitude of Thomassin Kiro.


Gavrox, to his knowledge, is the last Satyr in Japan. His family was slaughtered by Lycan nearly 280 years ago leaving only him and his younger brother alive. Sometime later his brother Knax was murdered by a trecerous bacchants named Maenad who got him drunk and stole his cider and led him to a cliff , inebriated to a stooper he walked right off it. Gavrox found Maenad and in spite of Satyr usually non violent temperment avenged his brother in a surprisingly brutal manner, hooving and stomping Maenad beneath his hooves until she was little more than a stain, bone dust and a memory. He lived in a secluded wood beneath the Kami mountain away from people for nearly 100 years until he was stumbled upon by Luparia, a Garden Faye that was visiting the Kami mountains in search of a rare special death flower seed. The two became rather intimate and she convinced him to come with her to her “sire’s ” estate and live in her garden. He accepted this reluctently .the idea of various mystics living together so closely seemed dangerous and niave but his affection and longing for her company strengthened his resolve, as well as promise of exotic ciders made especially by the fruits tended by Luparia’s loving hands. He now spends much of his time in the Kiro’s woods, playing a flute and watching beautiful woman come to the lakes to swim and strong men coming to fix, he often steals the men’s catch when they aren’t looking and the easy meal and dinner entertainment of watching the humans look for their suddenly missing fish is always a nice way to pass the time. With the help of alchemy he can take the form of a human for a very brief time but he loathes how human legs feel.


After years of travelling from one garden to another Luparia had given up hope of finding her “forever garden” Even though she was certain she would have to leave her gardens eventually due to various threats that always fell upon them she always tended her gardens with genuine love and care while it was under her watchful eye. Her favorite thing to tend to is fruits and making delicious nectar to drink from them. She also has a tendency to be easily swayed by music and has been tricked a time or two by humans who would lure her with pleasant tunes only to trap her and force her to toil away at their vegetable crops without rest. Both times she was trapped in such a way she was able to free herself, she was after all a clever garden faye. Eventually one day her twin brother showed up to her garden, a pitiful dry garden that wasn’t much more than a thirsty flower bed, and told her he had a place for her to stay where she could finally have her “forever garden” Disbelieving, doubtful but hopeful and mostly out of trust for her brother she went to this new place where she could have her “forever” garden and found that her brother had been right. She has lived on the Kiro Grounds tending its vast property and all of its interesting fruits and making nectars for her kind and gentle “sire” Thaddeus. Some time after settling into her new home she took a trip to the Kami mountains to obtain a desired death flower seed and she met Gavrox a lude, loud, drunken satyr that should have appalled and affronted her at every turn but instead she was actually quite taken with his brutish and honest flirtatious personality and particularly appreciates how he gushes over her apple cider.


When Danny Maxwell was four years old he was found by Hyde Akimoto, at the time the leader of the Lycan Clan known as the Akimoto Gang. Even though technically the clan was comprised of criminals Hyde was always kind and generous to Danny whom had little ability to talk and seemed to have no memory of his parents or how he wound up unconscious in the middle of the street. He was raised by Hyde and several of members of the gang resented his Hyde’s decision not turn Danny into a Lycan something that until then was a requirement. Danny himself even seem to take the decision as a rejection but Hyde insisted that when he was 16 if he wanted to be initiated to the clan then he would turn him himself until then he asked him to be content just being his son. Knowing that he accepted Danny he spent the majority of his time trying to earn the respect of the remaining of the clan but Danny found that he didn’t much care for how the clan did things, finding their desire to pick on the weak to be a pathetic display of strength. Danny was 16 when Baryn Akimoto betrayed Hyde and killed him. Baryn’s first order was to kill Danny however, Danny wasn’t eliminated so easily and in spite of what should have been a clear difference in strength Danny defeated three of Baryn’s best lackey’s and made a swift escape. Four years later in a bizarre happenstance, he ended up rescuing Trey Akka’s little brother from an unsavory situation and witnessing Danny’s fortitude in keeping the child safe offered him a job to be the kid’s nanny. The benefits of housing and salary were sublime so he took the job and enjoys the constant daily threats to his life which give him excuse to fight. He is surprisingly attached to Azael ,he is likewise very attached to his nanny.


For the majority of his first 150 years, Trey Akka spent it under the thumb of his older brothers who were cruel, sadistic and violent to humans and usually to each other. His mother was likewise cruel and used human men to give her children and then would promptly kill them. All of his brothers have different human fathers with the exception of his youngest brother Azael whose father is in fact a contracted demon that Ciera summoned after a successful contract with a servent demon. It was her intention to raise and use Azael to eliminate Lucien Akka, her eldest son and the murderer of the Akka clan Leader, her brother , Yoku Akka . Upon the division between the Akka clan, half of the clan following Ciera and the other half remaining loyal to Lucien , Trey took the opportunity to access his situation and with supportive advice from an unlikely friend, Thaddeus, he devised a plan that would protect his little brother and eliminate his mother’s cruel schemes once and for all. In spite of his dedication to prove his loyalty to the Royal Vampire Family Empire and not to the Akka clan, much of the family still didn’t trust Trey. Thaddeus, however, refused to stand down and proclaimed Trey would no sooner betray the Royal Family than he, Thaddeus would. Hearing his determination, Sammoyke also spoke in Trey’s favor. Due to his previous lifestyle, however, he struggles with blood lust much more severely than most of the Royal Family and plasma substitutes make him rather ill because of his previous abuse of human blood . When it becomes unbearable, Danny usually let’s Trey use him as a “delici”.


Seemingly birthed into a cursed fate, Azael Akka is sometimes plagued by the memory of his birth which he astoundingly remembers clearly, how terrifying and painful it had been to come into the world. He remembers the forbidding aura from a woman he somehow innately knew was a part of him somehow. He was frightened of her but also enraged by her. He began to cry and the raw power the infant possessed became clear as an electric pulse shocked everyone within a 15-foot radius of him. Amused and please by the child’s natural destructive ability she attempted to coddle the child, seeing her inevitable revenge and the fondness for that goal as a substitute for genuine motherly affection. He could sense her blood lust and murderous intent and wanted no part of her, his tantrums grew more powerful and even when the pain in his belly grew terrible from what he didn’t know yet was hunger, he still refused to let her near. It was only after two full days of endless tantrums that he finally ran out of energy and passed out from fatigue and hunger and it was Trey Akka who he woke up to, holding him as he coaxed him to drink what was truly the most amazing flavored and warm milk. The horrific intent he felt with the woman wasn’t with this person and he became attached to his elder brother instantly, he would not allow anyone else to care for him until he came across Danny who had the same cold but protective aura that his brother had that made him feel strangely intimated but also incredibly safe. He enjoys going places with Danny who is always either fighting or yelling .his energy is addictive to the kid who never wants to leave Danny’s side unless it’s to be with his brother.
