Withers Legacy - A Supernatural Challenge

It took a great deal of convincing the Elder Council of the Underworld to approve Anastasia’s request: to live among mortals. She hadn’t done so since before her turning, a good 130 years ago…

Now that the world is becoming more receptive to the existence of vampires, the council reluctantly agreed… so long as Anastasia follows the most important rule:

Never, ever harm a mortal - at least not in a way that can be traced back to her or the Underworld.

(lot & 4 of the council members came from the gallery, I'll find the creator names to credit when I next play)

It is a cloudy and rainy day when Anastasia Withers arrives in the Windenburg countryside, a place she lived during her true life. As a Loner, the country will suit her and bring out her classical Romantic ideals.

Unfortunately, Anastasia is also a bit of a Snob, a trait which surfaces every time she looks at her plain, drab abode…

Hopefully, on her quest to become a Master Vampiress and acclimate to the mortal realm, she can acquire the funds and furnishings to improve her humble lodgings.

Even though she’s been a Vampiress for a long time, Anastasia’s knowledge on Vampiric powers and lore is limiting - even more-so when applied to the mortal realm. To achieve her goal and become a Master, she must first find a tutor.

Who better than the oldest Elder Vampire to dwell in the mortal realm, Count Vladislaus Straud IV?

Always willing to help fledgling bloodsuckers, the Count agrees to share his great wealth of knowledge - but it’s far too much for one night. She will have to visit often to learn all there is to know.

For her first lesson, Count Straud invites her inside his delightfully spooky manor and begins playing the organ. The old home is filled with the loud music that seeps into the floorboards and walls, drowning out Anastasia’s protests as she wonders how exactly this is to help her.

Vladislaus offers no answer and keeps on performing.

After leaving the Count’s home, Anastasia finds herself wandering over to the Shrieking Llama bar, a small establishment built out in the countryside. This is definitely new since her time with the living!

It is here that she meets Barney Hobbs, a gentle looking man with a greying beard and tired hazel eyes. There is something in his gaze that intrigues Ana…
