The silent person is always worth listening to.
-Japanese Proverb

I guess I can tell you some about me, but I don't have a lot of time, I can't talk for more than two hours a day. As it is, I don't usually say more than a handful of words at the same time. So bear with me if I cut it short. I was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma 18 years ago. Last I heard my parents were still married. I have an older brother, Steven, and two younger sisters, Alison and Teresa. My parents and most other people always looked on Steven as some sort of saint, which is part of the reason I left. Wouldn't have been as bad if he really was at least partly as good as they thought he was. But that's not the real truth. He was an "A" student and the star football player, sure. But he was also a drug dealing bastardo who was very heavy handed with the girls. Took drugs himself too, but not often enough or in enough quantity to addict himself. He was very good at hiding that side of himself. I was a "B" student and never interested at all in sports, which set me back right there. I was always a bit of a loner. And I've got to be who I am, I won't change just because someone wants me to be something I'm not.

Finally, I decided I couldn't take all the criticism from my parents and I left. I didn't like leaving my sisters, especially Teresa, she and I were always pretty close. I'll have to go back sometime just to see those two, I don't know how they're doing. I was 14 when I left and I just wandered around for a few months before ending up in New Orleans. I met Paco not long after I got there and he invited me to join Las Aranas. I agreed and I've been part of it ever since. Made lots of amigos there and I don't plan on leaving anytime soon, if ever.

Not too long ago I asked to be turned into a Greater Vampire, partly because I think it helps our side if we have more people with those powers. Haven't regretted it yet, especially since Dare became one too. She and me are really close now, that's all I'm going to say about it. My biggest regret these days is the way I treated Lupé recently. Those Chaos sisters made all of us hate her and think she was a traitor and that's the way I felt. Even Dare couldn't convince me she was okay. But Taneesha came around and used her new vampiric power to convince most of us that we were feeling wrong. I'll never be able to make it up to Lupé for all the things I did, I feel most guilty whenever I look at her because I stabbed her and almost killed her when I was still feeling that hate. And the Chaos sisters made it so that wound won't heal. At least the other Chaos creature made it so she can't feel pain or otherwise I don't think she'd be able to get along, especially since the wound's in the stomach. But I'm going to do whatever I can to make it up to her, a lot of people are feeling really protective of her these days with the shitty way she's been treated so I guess I'm in that line too. Especially since they're not likely to leave her alone. Gary likes to hurt her and since she and Cristov have become close friends and those Chaos things hate Cristov more than anyone, that makes her a big target. They'll be sorry in the end, though. Because we're not going to put up with all they've done to her and will probably do to her. One thing in particular. They're on our list, one guy especially. Just going to be a race as to who gets to him first. Doubt it'll be me, but whoever it is, I want to watch. I guess that's all I've got, more than enough for me. Talking never was my strong suit.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself instead of a second-rate version of someone else.
