Caleb Trynx

8th Generation Lasombra vampire. Leader of an experimental pack of Kindred from almost every clan--something never seen before. He manipulates shadow to become invisible to even the most trained eyes. Once you see him, it's already too late.

0 · 262 views · located in The Infinite Void

a character in “The Multiverse”, as played by elessidil

Description

Caleb is just under six feet tall, and of a medium build. He looks almost like an athelete who has just started to leave out of his prime. He has medium-length, hair, raven and mussed beyond the point of being workable. His eyes change occasionaly between a bright green with the facade of vitality and a much darker, more solemn shade of emerald.

On his face, one can almost always read the lines of thought, as wheels crank at unfathomable speeds just inside his head. To the Kine eye, he appears to have unblemished, virgin skin; the scars of battle and mortal pain have long since healed beyond visiblity.

The usual outfit for a night of hunting includes a battered black leather trenchcoat, ripped dark blue deans, and a black turtleneck sweater, but his Lasombra vanity sometimes gives him a taste for higher fashion as well.

Personality

Beyond all other things, Caleb is confident. He has lived for more centuries than many of us care to count, and he really has forgotten more than we will ever know about the business of defending himself and weilding the powers granted to him by his Lasombra lineage. Very few things are more important to him than his own personal benefit, but the absolute most immediate priority is the safety of anyone he cares for. He is almost obnoxiously intelligent, intentionally sarcastic, and slightly paranoid, but a tactical genius and an illusionary master. Has a tendency toward quasi-emo moments and a minor obsession with pointy objects.

Lasombra is the only vampire clan actually afflicted with the lack of any sort of reflection. As such they tend to have either a positive or negative obsession with mirrors. Caleb is possessed of the positive variety. In his most frequented haven, all but two rooms are laden with mirror-walls, which provides two different things; he can quell his unnatural preoccupation, and it disorients many potential attackers.

History

Caleb was born in the early 1400's to poor British parents. Exact records weren't kept, and he has long since forgotten the exact date and the names of his family members. At one point in time, he had a sister.

His father left to fight in one of the King's wars. After seven years of bloodshed, he recieved a near-fatal wound and was called home by the king to be knighted. He was killed before he made it back in what amounted to a traffic accident.

Shortly thereafter, his mother and sister both fell ill with an unknown disease that was spreading quickly through their town. For seven months, his mother lay shaking, sweating, starving, and bleeding before she died; his sister had only lasted two.

Caleb was nine.

Smarter and stronger than many his age, he struggled to live on the streets as part of a gang, but the senseless violence and brutality of city gangs was remarkably different from how his parents had taught him to live. He eventually broke off and tried new ways of making his living--through crimes of finesse and subtlety rather than brute force and numbers. He found this to be not only easier on his soul, but better for his pocketbook.

Soon afterward however, all of his well-laid schemes and machinations began to fall around him. Street gangs were becoming smarter and starting to force their way into his grounds. Police were looking in his direction instead of where his plans suggested they look. He was forced again to re-evaluate himself and his methods. He began gathering followers and started a small group of his own. The group of six called themselves KORVa--Kings of River Valley--and Caleb (19) was at their forefront.

For ten years, KORVa pulled strings from the shadows as a spreading, mutating virus, operating much the way Caleb had on his own. Their slow poison seeped into the city, but seemed to be helpiong it grow. Smaller gangs bled out and died while the fuly-established ganglords and crime families diminished slowly, giving ground to the ever-growing KORVa. By the ten year mark, KORVa had over three thousand members and a finger in almost every honey pot in western Europe.

Its leader had the attention of a Lasombra ancillae--a seventh generation vampire most commonly called Dementia. For just over three years, she followed her clans tradition of testing Embrace candidates by tearing apart everything in their lives. Soon, every deal started to go wrong. No matter how carefully they planned, how many angles they saw, how many moves they predicted, their enemy was always one step ahead. It was as almost like someone was hiding in the shadows, spying on the inner circle. The final test came quicker than Caleb could have expected, and shook every thread of his being.
Three of KORVa's original members were captured and torn apart. He watched it happen.

Dementia held him struggling and bound in chains of shadow while his comrades were ripped to pieces in front of him. Time stopped. Darkness faded in around him and from it, she appeared. She offered him a choice: Life or Death. Mindful of the assailants juast outside this darkness, he accepted and was embraced by the arms of the Sabbat. His first meal was the unfortunate men Dementia had selected to kill his comrades.

Since his Embrace, Caleb has worked tirelessly at sharpening the edge of his skills, perfecting the arts of Obtenebration and Obfuscate. The two remaining Lasombra disciplines (Dominate and Potence) have taken a back-burner to the practice of weilding darkness. His skill borders upon perfection, and has only been preceeded by a fourth Generation Lasombra, rumored to have actually transposed himself to the shadow realm, and Lasombra himself, one of Caine's eight 'sons'.

So begins...

The expanse of the void was endless, and he just wanted a beer, anything good and strong, and it didnt just matrialise out of nothing. So how to get out of the endless expanse of a rather beautiful endless flower meadow was actually rather nice. It was not often he got to really just wander a flower meadow, and as beautiful as it was, there had to be a door or a window or something.

Finally finding what looked like a door frame, with no visible door per sei, he tried going through it, like it was a opening in a fence, and promptly smacked into a door panel with a hard thud. The dragon saw he couldnt fit through the door but it was infact a door. Dust was on the ground among the beautiful flowers but he felt he should not disturb the dust, it was after all possible that someone had distributed family ashes there. And just being there made the dragon shift form to his human asize and get to his knees, bowing three times towards a nearby small pile of void dust before getting to his feet.

Turning back to the door frame he found the4 handle. But something made him halt. Where there others looking for the door that he had just found ?

Kragum followed the sound of Fesna's voice through the Infinate Void. Finally her figure faded from the darkness.

Fesna's heart fluttered as Kragum faded through the black. A tear came to her eye as she rushed him, leaping forward for an embrace. She was confused - just moments ago they had been enjoying a flagon. Or was it moments ago?

Kragum caught Fesna and squeezed her tight. His heart warmed to know that it was he she sought out in this strange place - though, honestly, they were just together at the bar. After a few long moments Kragum pulled away from Fesna to look her in the face the best he could in this strange lighting.

Kragum shook his head and tried to smile. She caught on to his suspicions. With everything that had happened back at Wanderer's Camp, could you blame him? The supernatural bit at the edges of their sanctuary and pushed the folk further into Wing City. Now...where were they?

"What was that?!" Fesna clung to Kragum and aimed doe eyes at the noise. It sounded almost as if...someone had...hit their head?

Fesna looked at Kragum as thescent of flowers drifted from the source of the sound. She broke away from Kragum and not one step later was suddenly surrounded in an endless meadow of flowers. Her breath caught in her throat as she realized the beauty of the place, but also the infinity of it. Then, it hit her.

Kragum must have blinked wrong. Suddenly he was in an endless flower meadow-and how did Fesna get so far away?! He would have enjoyed the scenery, if he wasn't so suspicious, and if he hand't just been drinking rum at a bar!

He waved his arms over his head to get her attention and started off towards her through the flowers.

"Fesna! Do not move!" Kragum had no idea how things worked in this strange place. He didn't like it, and he didn't want to lose her again. He charged forth and left a path of disgruntled vegetation behind him.

Kragum stopped in his tracks as Fesna's wail reached him, a chill brushing over his skin. He picked up the pace, and this time it was Kragum's turn to go in for a hug.

Fesna embraced him back and began to weep. She wasn't ready to die! She had things to do, places to see! Remorse for wasted time hit Fesna like a ton of bricks.

Fesna gave a final pitiful sob, wiped her nose on Kragum's shoulder, and looked to where he was pointing.

There was a door, and it was closing.

She didn't even think twice grabbing Kragum's hand and barreling for the door.

Kragum let himself be dragged through the flowers, matching her speed and excitement. When they reached the door it had just clicked shut. Breathing hard, he bent over to catch up on air, and noticed a bunch of strange dust on the ground. That, too, unsettled him.

Fesna toed the dust gently, but Kragum yanked her away. She would have laughed at his superstition under almost any other circumstance.
