Erik and Sarah

Name: Erik Cupper/ Sarah Cupper
Age: 85 (Looks 22)/ 7
Race: Lycanthrope (Wereboar)/ Human (Mage)
Occupation: Blacksmith/ Student
Appearance: Erik is a barrel chested brute of a man. Large, hairy and loud, and that’s without transforming. In his human form, he’s got a barely tamed mane of red hair, with a thick coat of it over the rest of his body. His eyes are a bright shade of green and often maintain a slight glaze due to his fondness for drink. In his boar form, he resembles a horse sized boar with bristles as red as his human hair, and a white patch around his left eye.
Sarah is a slight pixie of a girl, often made more so when standing next to Erik. She shares his barely controllable red mane and green eyes, though she has none of his imposing stature, something she occasionally forgets when trying to impress Erik with displays of bravado.
Personality: Erik is a simple man, often embodying the adage; “Keep your friends close, and your enemies in a coffin.” When confronted with any issue, Erik prefers the direct route, even if that means using his forehead to get the brick wall out of the way. When not confronted, however, he typically resorts to “stereotypical Scotsman mode”, meaning big friendly guy who’s usually about two or three sheets to the wind. He works hard when given a job, and plays just as hard afterwards. Just about the only thing that can make him focus, outside of work, is Sarah. She is literally THE most important thing in his life. She is the reason he fled his old master, she is the reason he didn’t just give into the beast completely after the death of her mother, and she’s about the only sensible person he cares to listen to, being able to shame him out of bar fights and drunken displays alike. This compassion extends into the boar form, which, while usually a rampaging beast like any other lycanthrope under the effects of the moon, tends to revert to an attitude closer to an outsized dog in her presence, though it maintains its murderous disposition towards anything it sees as a threat to the girl.
Sarah is bright, friendly and curious. She loves books of all sorts, and learning in general. She’s considerably more tolerant of other people than Erik is, though she does still make an effort to keep them at arm’s reach, largely due to Erick’s oft paranoid upbringing. She’s a curious one, always sticking her nose in where it may or may not belong, which often leads her to trouble as she often attempts to impress Erick by showing his same “never back down” spirit in the face of adversary. She’s often wondered why she and Erik are always moving from one port to the next without settling down, lord knows Erik’s good enough to get a set shop somewhere, but as Erik is often tight lipped on the issue, or any issue relating to the rest of their family or even Erik’s own past, she’s long since stopped trying to ask him. She’s currently working on a plan to get him drunk enough to start babbling, and then eavesdrop on the affair, but is somewhat concerned of how his hair trigger temper might function at that level of inebriation.
History: Erik was born into a long line of Wereboars, the hereditary servants of his islands vampire patriarchs. He was given blacksmith training in order to help provide the arms and equipment for his extended family, and was actually infected with Lycanthropy at the age of 15. For a very long time, Erik was content with his lot in life, he was surrounded by friends and family, had good, hard work to do in order to support them, and had plenty of opportunities to fight, both on friendly terms and otherwise. Sadly, that all began to change when Sarah was born.
For the first three years of her life, it looked like she would be like any other member of the clan, born, rose, and trained to serve the Lords, but on her third birthday, the first signs of her magical talent appeared. The Boars were forbidden to practice magic, as the Lords didn’t want them becoming too powerful, and any of the blood that showed any inborn gift was to be handed to the Lords for execution. This did not sit well with Sarah’s mother, who attempted to hide the toddling daughter, with sadly predictable results. Erick was nearby, he heard the sounds of fighting coming from the shed Sarah’s mother was trying to hide in, and entered the hut just in time to see one of the Lords breaking the woman’s neck. At this torrid tableau, Erik went berserk and transformed. When Erik finally returned to his senses, he found himself hiding in a small cave, coated in blood and ash, and sitting next to a sleeping toddler, whose face betrayed that she had cried herself to sleep.
Erik wasn’t entirely sure what happened, but he had the presence of mind to know that he must have killed at least one of the Lords, and now, they’d not only be seeking to destroy what they considered “their property”, but they’d be coming for revenge as well. Knowing he couldn’t fight the Lords forever, Erik chose, for the first time in his life, to make a run for it. He managed to get himself stowed aboard a ship that brought foreign supplies to the island, and has been hopping from port to port ever since, doing his best to stay well away from his former masters.
Abilities:
Strengths: Erik is a talented metal worker, and excels at any task involving the strength of his back.
Erik also has the perks of lycanthropy, including quicker healing, sharper senses, and an ageing rate 1/10th the human rate. (He ages 1 year for every 10 that pass.)
Sarah is incredibly bright, able to remember information on the wide variety of things she’s studied in the past. Her reading and education is largely self-taught, as Erik doesn’t dedicate much, if any, time to complicated subjects, and their vagabond lifestyle doesn’t leave much time for proper schooling.
Sarah is also an innate caster, bearing traits of an ectomancer.
Weakness: Erik is, as stated, an alcoholic lycanthrope with a simple mind, often making him a beast even on nights other than the full moon.
Sarah, for all her smarts and talents, is largely just a seven year old girl with a desire to gain Erik’s approval, not just his usual over protective view of her.

Bieng a glutton for punishment, Ive got two more applications coming, Its just rather late here, so Im going to have to wait a bit before posting them. Feel free to approve all, some, or none as seems appropriate.

Might need to wait a few before we can get them in on the action though. Not sure if they would be found wandering an extremely crowded street of the Fair, though I'm pretty sure a bar is going to come up again with in a few days in game. (AKA a few months out fo game.)

Its actually pretty simple, Sarah wanted to go to a fair, and Erik found some work in Electric City. While there, Sarah is exploring the area, and Erik is in the Three Fools Tavern working on a buzz. Unfortunatly, while there, he happens to notice a vampire walk in...

The following is a closer look at Sarah.

Sarahs earliest memories are of her and Erik on a vessal headed for Central city, though she occasionally has dreams of blood, ash, and monsters. She dosent know anything about the Caelin Lords, or the Cupper clan, though she is well aware of Eriks affliction, often bieng asked to help watch over the beast when Erik transforms. She knows nothing of her family, or even how shes really related to Erik, as he refuses to let her call him 'father', 'brother' or any other familial titles. When combined with Eriks tight lipped stance on any questions she's asked regarding where they come from or why Erik insists on never staying in one city for too long, leaves her as a young child with little idea as to who she truly is.
In regards to her magic, Sarah bears traits of an ectomancer, most notably the ability to see and communicate with ghosts, as well as the ability to generate amounts of ectoplasm. When in a heightend emotional state, she will leak ectoplasm, which in this case manifests as small wisps of fog in her area, that can provoke the emotion she's feeling in anyone within about ten feet of her. (Note: this isnt really a mind controling thing, it just causes an emotional response similar to hers, usually at the thing causeing her response. For example, if she has a nightmare about something in her closet, anyone nearby will get the feeling that theres something scary in the closet as well, though how they react to that is up to the individual.) Sarah is also able to conciously generate ectoplasm with her breath, which in this case comes from her mouth looking like cigar smoke. Shes able to take a deep breath, convert the air in her lungs into ectoplasm, and then expel it into a cloud in front of her. Its worth mentioning that doing this is very painful for her, often leaving her coughing and sputtering as though in the middle of a severe fit. The generated ectoplasm can be used by nearby ghosts to affect a partial manifestation by covering parts of their bodies with the stuff, Sarah usually only generates enough to cover the head and sholders of an adult human sized ghost. The details of the ghost are vague and indisticnt, like seeing someone in a foggy mirror, though if the ghost has enough practice with ectoplasm, finer details are possible. The ectoplasm usually lasts around 5 minuets, though if the manifesting ghost talks, or performs excessive actions, that time does drop dramatically.
Finally, Sarah is also a postcognitive, able to look at a person or object and know thier past and history. This is the way she learned to read, by handling books and seeing the thought processes behind thier creation. The main limit to this ability is Sarah herself, as she's much to young to be able to process and retain all the information she's inundated with in a day, which often leaves this ability looking like she's just a profoundly insightful little girl.
Sarah never uses her abilities around Erik, as he insists the dead should stay on their side of the veil, though she does frequent graveyards when he's either at work or dead drunk, as she enjoys the company of those as lonley as she is. She also attempts to practice with her ectoplasm, even though it really hurts, whenever she can get away with it. Neither she nor Erik are really aware of her postcognition, largely because, as above, she dosnt really see what shes able to glean off others as odd, and Erik just thinks she's so very clever.
