Unfinished History:Part one: England (1668-1830)* I was born of British nobility October 1668 CE, and was turned into a vampire at the age of 17 (the year 1685). One night, I overheard my parents talking about a dark secret they had. I listened through the door until I could bear it no longer; I left my home and began to aimlessly wander the streets of my neighborhood... and eventually started to go beyond. I had no idea where I was going, or what I would do; all I wanted was to get as far away from my parents as possible, so horrible was their conversation to me. I almost lost my mind during this point, but managed to retain sanity. I was walking down a dark street, when I was attacked by a vampire who apparently sensed my despair and near-suicidal mindset. Later, that same vampire became my sire; I had no say in the matter. I was chosen to be their first childe (they had only been a vampire for a few years before they found me). Their inexperience left me with little knowledge of vampirism, and eventually led to their demise. I felt little remorse, for my sire never told me much (or enriched my young brain in any way); in fact, I felt almost free. I could now do almost anything I wanted to without fear of reproach.
* One night, I found out that my sire was slain by assassins from a Christian agency, which was devoted to the killing of heretics and the undead. I did not mourn, for my sire had done nothing to teach me of vampires -- I was at a loss of what to do. It was during this time that I became a Master Vampire -- I was the last surviving member of my bloodline -- although I was so new to being a vampire that I nearly perished....
* Luckily I found a 'tutor' of sorts, who taught me the basics of vampirism. When my 'tutor' unexpectedly disappeared, I traveled England in search of them -- I was hungry for knowledge. I wanted to know more about my vampiric powers. Eventually, I was forced to give up. I then decided to search for other vampires (mostly out of pure loneliness), and not just another vampire to teach me things. It was also around this time that I threw away my birth name, and took only the name "Osiris" -- I did not take a last name, for I belonged to no one's family. Not anymore. The name just "seemed right" to me; there was little meaning behind it.
When I finally realized that my search was in vain, I moved to France in 1830 to continue my search....
part two: France (1830-1853)* My search in France yielded much more satisfying results. I actually found an entire community of vampires, who lived under a theater (Théâtre des Vampires). I peacefully lived in the community for many years, learning from those who knew more than I and conversing with the others. I also became a fairly accomplished actor -- living at a theater will do that to someone. Eventually, the time came when I had learned all I could from my elders. Bored with my surroundings, I decided to leave the community in search of excitement. I had heard of a country called Japan, which seemed rather interesting.... I left just before the mortals'
Crimean War.
part three: Japan (1854-1869)* I moved to Japan in 1854, not long after the
Kanagawa Treaty was established. I eventually took an active role in the Bakumatsu (1862-1869) as a samurai. Few foreigners ever had this sort of honor, but then again my vampiric power made me more powerful than most. Unfortunately this may have been overkill, as no enemy could ever defeat me.
* During this time, I learned I could survive in the sunlight through various means (mostly out of necessity); however, this was a temporary power that left me by 1945.
* I adopted a last name, "Hagakura," for reasons which may become known in time. It is an alternative spelling of "Hagakure," which means "In the Shadow of the Leaves."
(Quoted from Wikipedia)part four: United States of America{1} (1869-1897)* In 1869 I left Japan for America. I had no real reason for moving to America, other than the fact that I needed to leave Japan in order to retain my "samurai" status and now-treasured swords. There was also a form of civil war occurring at this time, as those familiar with Japanese history may recall. This leaving of the country forced me to be a "ronin," but that was simply a masterless samurai. It was fine with me, as I had been a masterless
vampire for such a long time.
* I unfortunately accomplished little of worth in this time period, although I saw a great deal that was quite intriguing.
* Boredom again led to me leaving for another country... this time, Germany.
part five: Germany (1897-1945)* In 1897, I moved to Germany. As I traveled, I ran into a clan of werewolves called Königliche Ritter vom Wald....
(more on this later)* World War One (then known as "The Great War") took place primarily in Europe from 1914 to 1918. Over 40 million casualties resulted, including approximately 20 million military and civilian deaths. Over 60 million European soldiers were mobilized from 1914 to 1918; I was not included in these numbers; I was in a location that was fortunately more or less overlooked by everybody.
* At the beginning of World War Two in 1939, I joined the Nazi party as a soldier. Looking back in history, I now feel slightly bad for doing it, but then I had little choice if I wanted to keep my luxurious home in that country. At this time, I learned how to use guns and drive tanks (which were quite fun, despite their lack of speed). Despite my liking of this weaponry, I still preferred to use swords for somewhat obvious reasons. I was one of the party's German-Italian translators at one point, although I rather disliked the position.
* Once I was found to be a vampire (quite by accident), I was immediately drafted into Hitler's secret plan known as the Millennium Project. This was concerning the research of vampires, and how to make "artificial" vampires for combat use: "The Last Batallion." This project was never completed, due to some unfortunate circumstances -- namely, the complete eradication of the facility by a small but powerful Protestant group of soldiers. Near the end of the war, everything regarding this project was secretly shipped to Brazil for future use... but I abandoned the project before this happened for personal reasons.
* There were few true vampires like I, but there was also a powerful demon named Vante -- recently exiled from Hell for plotting to begin a revolution. Vante and I did not get along well, and our relationship eventually grew to the point where we could not even stand to see each other. After some time, this dislike grew into such hatred we could not even desire to be on the same
planet as each other, so murder of a sort formed in our anger-clouded brains. We fought each other for a long time, demolishing a part of Millennium's research wing. I barely defeated Vante in the end, although I did not end up killing him as I had initially planned. He fled Germany in shame and even greater anger, and I had approximately half of my powers sealed away by the Millennium scientists; they felt that I was too powerful (they only wanted to do research, and they hardly appreciated my devastating battle with Vante). But the seal was shoddily done, and from time to time a power or two ended up becoming unleashed through no part of mine.
* After the sealing of my powers, I thought of it as the creation of a new being -- so I changed my name form Osiris to Upir. I also felt that I could no longer undergo experimentation in Millennium, so I left. It wasn't easy, for I felt weak and the Nazis didn't want me to leave them with their unfinished research. But I decided to let them figure out everything themselves. My personality in Millennium had become rather malicious and twisted (a direct result of their unorthodox experimentation), and the sealing of my powers seemed to reverse this. Also, before I left I stole the instructions for unsealing and resealing powers for future reference.
part six: United States of America {2} (1945-present)* At the close of World War Two (1945) I moved back to the United States of America, where I currently reside.
* In 1947, I went "underground." It was not until 1989 that I returned to "life".
* In the year 2005, I moved to the legendary city of vampires, RavenBlack City....
* In September of 2005, I sire the following: Dead (Sept. 13th); Selene (Sept. 19th); Luminessa (Sept. 22nd); and Adritha (Sept. 22-30th).
* Several months after I had become more acquainted to RavenBlack, I realized that I didn't enjoy staying in one place for too long. So, without any notice whatsoever, I packed a small bag and left to wander the countryside (in 2007). I didn't feel that bad about leaving, for I had but a few friends and every childe I had created disappeared without a trace -- I feared that they had perished. While far from uneventful, I found myself wanting to return to my somewhat unhumble dwelling I had procured on the outskirts of The City (to attract less attention). Initially I found these feelings near-unfathomable, but I succumbed and trekked back to RavenBlack. Upon my re-arrival, I found myself subconsciously avoiding the city (because my home was on the outskirts it remained undisturbed -- except for a small team of maids that arrived once or twice a week to clean). There was a feeling I couldn't describe coursing through my mind... it almost felt like a hidden enemy was waiting for me....
When I did finally return to the City streets, I encountered several unknown vampires. Our presence attracted a massive group of Vampire Hunters, and we were forced to fight. During the battle, I had to temporarily resort to the form of Osiris; the death of a previous acquaintance, the half-werewolf Erik, culminated in my return to the form of Upir.
* December 9th, 2007: I sire Rosalie de Luca.
* December 28th, 2007: I sire Napolyon de LaCroix.
* January 31st, 2008: I sire Kat.
* In 2008, I decided that being a Master Vampire was more of a negative thing than a positive, as I found myself lacking certain knowledge. I eventually found a sire, Ashley Remington (RemipunX), and bonded to her in January. A few days later, I bonded to the vampire Avita as a partner. March 2008, my second childe -- Napolyon -- becomes fully-powered.
* April 16th, 2008: I sire Leviathan Stone.
* May 5th, 2008: I become a Master Vampire once again.
* June 26th, 2008: I take the vampire Coquette as a sire.
