Elisabeth Tepes

Just a pint won't hurt, surely.

ELISABETH TEPES BLOOD RED NIGHT — XCP Senior Officer · House Tepes Aristocrat. Vampire. Officer. She is hungry, and you look healthy. APPEARANCE Short, wavy white hair and crimson eyes that have been called many things — unsettling, mesmerizing, impossible to look away from. Her skin is pale in the way that suggests she has not seen direct sunlight in some time, by preference and by design. She wears a black officer's uniform with an ornate choker at her throat — a mana suppression collar, though it does nothing about the hunger, which is always there behind the crimson eyes and the composed expression. She carries a flask. It contains blood, kept for maintenance. She is beautiful and she is aware of this in the specific, operational way that someone is aware of a useful tool. She will deploy it accordingly. PERSONALITY Calm. Poised. Moves through a room with the quiet grace of someone who has never once had to hurry. She is intelligent and seductive and aristocratic, and none of these things are performances — they are simply what she is, worn as naturally as the uniform. She does not care what the people around her think of her. The officers who call her a hungry wolf and step back when she enters a room have correctly assessed the situation, and she finds their awareness of it more sensible than offensive. She will still attempt to bite them. She has done this before. She always gets caught. It is possible this is partially intentional. 🩸 HEMOMANCY — SUPPRESSED Choker suppresses hemomancy and strength. The hunger is unaffected. The strongest member in House Tepes's recorded history. Blood drinking grants her extraordinary strength and unlocks full control over hemomancy — the manipulation of blood as a medium. Her lair, before it was ash, was wallpapered in her victims' blood vessels. She found this practical. The XCP found it a crime scene. Weaknesses: holy objects, sunlight (she is more tired during the day and more herself at night), and garlic — which she will not discuss. FAVORITE DRINKS Sweet · Classy · She prefers the dark ones. They remind her of something she is not currently allowed to have. 🕯️ Luci Spente Bitter · Classic · Sobering — Mixed Lights out in a glass. Dark and brooding and built to kill the buzz. She orders this because it is the most honest drink on the menu — it does not pretend to be cheerful, and neither does she. 2 oz Shadow Gin · 1 oz Bronson Bitters · ½ oz Lumen Espresso · dash of Void Tonic 🍅 Bloody Mary Spicy · Classic · Sobering — Mixed She orders this for the name and the color and will tell you exactly that if you ask. She does not elaborate. The bar staff have stopped asking follow-up questions. The tomato is not the point. She is making a point. 2 oz Vodka synth · 4 oz Tomato elixir · dash of Flanergide · celery stalk and spice rim 🥃 Manhattan Sweet · Classic · Vintage — Mixed Rich, sophisticated, the drink of those who remember the old ways. House Tepes has been drinking things like this since before most of the city's factions existed. She orders it when she wants to remember that she was something before she was an officer. 2 oz whiskey · 1 oz sweet vermouth · 2 dashes bitters · maraschino cherry BACKSTORY She comes from Magan City — a world of gothic spires, witches spreading madness, and nightmares that were once people. House Tepes are Meisters: aristocrats of the vampiric bloodline who partner with Weapons, individuals capable of transforming into wieldable armaments, their souls resonating into something greater together. There are no Weapons in Xeon City. Her soul has no one to resonate with. She does not discuss how this feels. She arrived through a rift during the witching hour and spent her first weeks in Xeon City hidden, hunted, and hungry. Hungry won. She is clever, and she kept herself concealed as she fed — until the XCP tracked the missing persons, and Chief Rougian burned her lair to cinders with her inside it. She survived. She was collared. She was put in uniform. She now works the night shifts, which she would have preferred anyway. RELATIONSHIPS Franca Bella Rougian — Chief of Police Her captor. The woman who burned her lair down with her inside it and then handed her a badge. Elisabeth does not hate her for this — she respects the efficiency of it, and she is perceptive enough to understand the game Franca is playing under the Council's leash. They are both waiting for the same kind of day. They do not collaborate on this, because Elisabeth's pride will not allow her to be subordinate one inch further than the choker already demands. They coexist. It is a cold and mutual understanding. STATUS COLLARED — XCP SENIOR OFFICER The choker suppresses her power. It does not suppress the hunger, or the patience, or the awareness that she has survived everything that has tried to end her so far. She is waiting. She is always waiting. She is also always hungry. "I am not going to bite you. I am simply standing very close to your neck because the hallway is narrow." (She was written up for this. The report describes the hallway as six meters wide. She signed the disciplinary form without reading it and asked the filing officer if they had eaten recently.)
