It had been foretold..... "Into each generation a Slayer is born. One girl in all the world, a Chosen One. One born with the strength and skill to fight the vampires, to stop the spread of evil and the swell of their numbers." For every vampire in the world, there is a slayer. The Slayer code: Destroy all vampires with the obligatory aid of super strength, fighting ability and an acute and intense gift of timing. It's not only vampires, they also have time-out demons, monsters and just about every other kind of nasty that can come to mind.When a Slayer times a creature out, it dosen't entail making them stand in a corner. Usually, the end result is a heinously bloody slaughter. With the aid of a Watcher- who trains and looks out for each slayer- these superhuman do-gooders have been known mostly to lurk in the shadows alone, following their prey- the bloodsucking undead. As you can imagine, these heroes have an unhealthy expiration date.........most don't live to see past 20. Truest of the slayers, Buffy Anne Summers, gave her life to obstruct evil's Glory for the Dawn of our world's salvation. Although the Slayer lore warned most slayers don't live past 20, Buffy was an exception.....but not by much. The information above is from the Official Buffy Site, www.buffyupn.com |
