Official Famille Darcangel Profiles
Tatjana Darcangel
Tatjana Darcangel was born on a sweltering July day in St. Etienne and lived a relatively normal life until she hit her teens, when the local boys started to notice her. She was, without a doubt, flattered, and found herself enjoying the attention. She played the part of a tease, almost, but not in a degrading way; she would wear beautiful clothing that accented all the right features. Thus, a love of modeling was born.
Itching for some adventure, she started frequenting nightclubs where she eventually ran into Alessandro De Luca for the first time. The two hit it off almost immediately and when Alessandro offered to advance her career as a model, how could she refuse?
Tatjana and Alessandro spent about a year together after that, him staying true to his word and helping her to advance through the ranks of amateur models until she reached the top, but after said year, he left to pursue some of his own business, leaving Tatjana to flourish on her own. And flourish she did; taking the modeling world by storm, she suddenly found herself bombarded with jobs, making more money in one week than she could use in a month, even considering some of her more expensive habits. She continued to frequent the nightclubs, enjoying the excitement even as she carried on several relationships.
Unfortunately, with her ever-burgeoning fame and new found wealth, it wasn't long before Tatjana found herself in the midst of the celebrity ‘dark side’, as it were. Promiscuity and drugs were rampant and to be a somebody, you had to take part. Tatjana was no exception; willing to try everything at least once, she indulged in the drinking and drugs and found them pleasant enough, even going so far to make them a fairly often occurrence, so long as they didn’t interfere with her performances on the runway.
It was another warm July evening and there was a spectacular birthday celebration, predictably involving alcohol and drugs. After far too much to drink, Tatjana mixed several substances and collapsed, managing to make her way into the bedroom before blacking out.
Purely by chance, Alessandro stumbled onto the party and felt that something was amiss. He went searching for Tatjana and found her by the bed, passed out, nearly dead. Fearing for her life, he fed her some of his blood, reviving her and unintentionally creating a new craving in her. Once recovered, it didn’t take her very long to figure out what he was and she begged him to make her young and beautiful forever. His conscience warred with his want to give her everything and eventually lost.
The Embrace was powerful, passionate, raging almost out of control. After, he stayed with her for another year, teaching her how to accustom herself to her new abilities. She took a temporary leave from her modeling career – two months – to learn how to work with heightened senses before returning to even greater success as the transformation had, if possible, only made her more alluring and beautiful.
The two eventually traveled to New Orleans where she met a wealthy businessman by the name of Jorge Escobar. The two fell slowly in love, but he wanted to change Tatjana. He didn’t like how she was blonde, popular, an aristocratic lady with all the charm and social grace that he felt only his money could bring him. He felt that she needed to change her appearance as it were, even going so far as to ask her to participate in some risqué films that she outright refused. Regardless, he bought a ring and would have asked her to marry him had he not ‘mysteriously’ disappeared soon after Alessandro caught wind of his intentions. A note he left before his disappearance left his sprawling mansion to her.
Several years – and failed marriages – later she met Ethan Darcangel, a man – and eventual ex-husband – who Tatjana still has a deep hatred of. Unfortunately, it seemed her luck in the modeling industry didn't seem to carry into her love life and each marriage ended after a few months – ten at the very most.
Eventually, she returned to Paris and gradually started putting together the Family and gathering other immortals around herself. Even as the Family continues to grow, Tatjana makes the necessary time to manage the group and does a wonderful job. She is now happily married to Arcene Darcangel who helps her run the Family when he can, among other things. Those who love her are often fiercely loyal and willing to do almost anything for her.
Amber Darcangel
Amber's original name was Ambroise, ironically, the meaning of the name is "immortal" but she realized that much later. After she was turned she decided to change her name to something more current that'd still remember her who she was - Amber. She was born only a few years after world war II on the border, she was an only child of a nurse and a lawyer. Her parents were always supportive and loving but Amber felt that she was missing something out there, something beyond that region. It was a bold step to take, especially when she knew no one in Paris. And so, a month before turning eighteen, Amber ran off to Paris, hoping to discover her life calling.
Amber's enthusiasm and decisiveness led her to the US, she didn't know exactly what she wanted but she was sure that America could offer her more than home. Amber found a job as a waitress/singer in a bar, always waiting for her chance to show up and change her life. One night she served a beer for an agent and the second he looked at her he was taken back by her beautiful features. He told her she had alot of potential and asked her if she ever thought about modeling. Amber agreed to meet him the following day in a studio and the agent was so supportive that he offered to pay for her first photoshoot which was simple yet turned perfect.
Her agent managed to get her into one of the biggest, most famous modeling agencies in the whole world that belongs to Tatjana Darcangel. Amber started to explore a little about Tatjana, she was very intrigued by her reputation as a successful career woman, it inspired Amber in so many ways. After putting alot of thought to his offer Amber decided that she wants to be a model. She was beautiful, not too tall but had a great body and her biggest advantage was that she just wouldn't take no for an answer. Her persistence and willpower drove her to be one of the most successful, famous models in the agency. As Amber's career thrived she started to go to all sorts of events, she had the chance to meet important people in the show business and most important person - Tatjana.
The party took place in a huge penthouse in LA, Tatjana was visiting the US with some friends and decided to throw a party. Amber's agent invited her along with three other successful models in Tatjana's agency. During that fateful night Amber and Tatjana Darcangel had the chance to chat and get to know each other, Amber realized that she was even more amazing in person. Her presence was so strong, positive and lightening. She was glowing and illuminating the room with just one smile. Her history touched Amber deeply, it reminded her of herself, only weaker and less amazing. She thought she'd never have the confidence to break through her fears and do what Tatjana did in order to 'make it'. That night Tatjana gave her something special, powerful yet - lethal. She embraced her into the Darcangel family she was leading and showed her a dark world, a world Amber never thought existed.
When Amber turned into a vampire she changed her name to Amber Darcangel, her first name Ambroise and her parents' last name were now irrelevant. And so she decided to accept Tatjana's gift, excited but anxious she joined Tatjana in her journey back to Paris. Amber was now full of hope and finally willing to start a new life as an immortal, beautiful & invincible creature.
Arcene Darcangel
My name is Arcene, I am a Darcangel. Nothing about my mortal life should concern you. You should worry about what I am today, and not what I was. My Sire is Tatjana Darcangel. She embraced me years ago in New Orleans, where I was working as a defense lawyer at the time and bought the mansion next door to hers.
I was interested in my neighbours, and in time got to know Tatjana Darcangel. We spent a lot of time alone together in my mansion. I learned she had an extended family. And in time through investigation found out more than what I could have imagined. This woman and her family were vampires.
Surely you want to know how I was embraced. It was some weeks on,my concern at that time was trying to work with a serial killer who was going to be locked away for life. Working along side this criminal made me very unpopular. I was soon gracing the front pages of the newspapers. I found myself more than once on the news. I had posted bond for this man, the man went on a killing rampage again and then came after me in my own home. I took a bullet to the chest, point blank when I answered the front door that night. My whole life ended there.
I owe Tatjana my life. She was there within seconds. Perhaps she was watching me? I had lost a lot of blood, and was dying. I remember telling her to save me. Call 911 -- call the cops, my cell was in my left pocket, but she didn't... she let me die in her arms, and then she brought me back to life again, a different life. A Darcangel life.
Ava Darcangel
Ava was born to a Scottish father and an Italian mother whom were both in their teens when they married and had her. Growing up in Milan, she would not have known she even had grand parents until misfortune struck her family when she was a toddler. It had been a dark, rainy night when her parents were killed in an auto accident. This event sent her to live with her grand parents who happened to reside within the same city. Her Scottish grand parents hadn’t approved of the union and had disowned their son and never sought reconciliation with him in the short duration of his life nor afterwards. Grudgingly, the Italian side of her family took in the now orphaned child and very soon with time it became apparent that they never forgave their errant daughter for having never crawled home begging for forgiveness. Ava’s time with her grand parents could be easily defined with idioms such as, “spare the rod, spoil the child” and “sins of the father”. Despite the bleakness such statements might cause, a bright side to her tale is that when she showed an interest in her grand father’s guitar, he took the time to try and teach her how to use it despite her frame being too small to hold the instrument. Seeing the girl had an interest in music she was also enrolled in their parish’s children’s choir and learned to sing from the youth ministers of the Roman Catholic Church.
Tragedy struck once again as four years later, they too died. One of perished of liver cancer and the other tragically run over while crossing a street while lost in grief of their spouses death. Her grandparents left what little money and property they had to the Church and Ava was left in the care of various foster families across Italy with only her grandfather’s guitar. She was forced to suffer through the various joys associated with foster families often including drunken abusive foster fathers that had a penchant for molestation. Solace with music, or perhaps because of it lead Ava to running away from the bad situations she was placed in at the cost of her education at the age of 16. Living in the streets, drug use became a method of escape from the harsh realities of the freedom she so reveled in when her beloved music and guitar was not enough.
It was in the back alleys of Rome she met what she considered her first love who frequently talked about saving money and moving to Paris to try and start over in life. To get away from the drugs and a life of drifting between hostels and streets and because she desperately wanted to believe in him, Ava helped scrounge as much money as she could and moved with him to Paris. While in Paris she got a job at an open air café / bakery trying to get her life back on the straight and narrow. Unfortunately her boyfriend failed at this and fell back into drug abuse. It was a few months after Ava arrived in Paris that she received her first electric guitar and amp as well as a distortion pedal from her boyfriend as a way of a present. It was a guilt present to soften the blow of his leaving her. The note she found that spring afternoon said she deserved better and he was going to try again in the Netherlands and for her not to follow him. Heartbroken Ava fell off the wagon herself resulting in an almost life ending drug and sex binge. In the haze of her misery and chaos, she remembered the only time she was truly happy in her life was playing the guitar. Cleaning up she went back to work at the bakery / café and went back to practicing the guitar and her singing while trying to form her own band. It was her singing with an almost unearthly voice while kneading dough in the pre-dawn night that Tatjana Darcangel first noticed the 19 year old girl and the strange beauty she held despite years of being abused by others and herself. Meeting dark eyes that unquestioningly and unfrightened stared back, she held a strange desire to turn her rising and bring a new daughter into the famille. Born into Darkness Ava Darcangel has the talent and means to do what she wants with immortal life if she sets her mind to it.
Belle Darcangel
Belle Darcangel was born in Baton Rogue, Louisiana, but grew up all over the US as an "army brat", the family never remaining in one place for any longer than a year. Giving up on trying to fit in with all the different kids all over the country, Belle learned early on to develop her own style and a "if you don't like it I don't care attitude". It's an attitude she stills has to this day. After graduating from high school she took to the road, working as a singer in various bars and lounges across the country. That is how her ex husband. It didn't take long for her to discover his obsessive, controlling nature and jealous of the attention she got, he forced her to quite singing. Being the free spirit that she is it didn't take long for the situation to become intolerable and she packed a bag and left. Three years later she found herself with a nice chunk of cash from the divorce settlement and wanting for once to settle down in one place and have something to call her own, she found The Old Absinthe House for sale she thought it would suit her perfectly.
It didn't take her long to meet the Darcangel family. Long story short. After finding herself shot and bleeding in an alley, she was rescued by Thalyn Exodus who brought her to Tatjana to be embraced into her new life as her chylde. In March of 2005, at the mortal age of 34, Belle was born into eternal life.
Several months after her embracement Tatjana disappeared. Ethan and Belle had only met on a few occasions, but they immediately felt a connection with one another, a closeness that didn't come along that often in life and became friends, avoiding any romantic entanglements. And so it was his name on her lips as she lay dying in the tunnels underneath her bar, after an attack by an elder vampire that killed her brother Daniel and left her bleeding out the last bit of blood that remained in her. He came to her rescue shared his blood with her, then safely ensconced her in his home and nursed her back to health. As her strength returned he visited her often, spending the time getting to know one another. He also taught her many things in the following weeks, one of those being to shape-shift...her animal form being a saucy calico cat, her fur a myriad of colors, much a tribute to her own constantly changing hair color.
Life returned to normal after that except for Michael Eaglewing who one day burst into the bar and her life and literally turned things upside down. He’s rough and tough and a hunter no less but between their frequent bouts of fighting they have managed to come to care for one another. It was Michael who snatched her back from an elder vamp, who had enslaved Belle. Unfortunately the only way he was able to accomplish this was by using a spell to “steal” her soul while destroying her body and then putting that soul into a new one created by using her daughter's DNA.
Belle has been adjusting to her new “human” life while traveling around the US on the back of Michael’s bike.
Daemonis Darcangel
An amazing musician who went to various private schools, Daemonis Darcangel became famous for his skill on the piano. Daemonis has a recording studio in Orleans and is heavily involved in the local music scene. He met Adora Darcangel in a New Orleans cemetery and she embraced him, with Tatjana's help. They spent the summer getting to know each other by the pool. Daemonis went off for vacation to Europe and was not heard from since... until now.
In the summer of 2009, Daemonis embraced Dani Darcangel in Paris. Recently Daemonis embraced Dani Darcangel, who officially disappeared in June 2010.
Dante Darcangel
Dante Darcangel is Tatjana‘s mortal half brother. He has a different mother, who lives in Ireland. During his childhood Dante moved with his Mother several times to Scotland and Germany, but Ireland is where he grew up. With no father figure present until his early teens when his mother re-married, Dante describes his childhood as a period when he felt very lonely and alienated.
In his late teens, Dante traveled on his own, much to his Mother’s dismay, but he did not like living under the same roof as his step-father who was battling a drug habit. During an extended stay in North America, his step-father grew ill and died suddenly. Dante returned home to care for his mother who did not handle his step-father’s death well. While cleaning out his step-father’s garage, Dante found a large envelope. Inside was letters and cards from Dante’s birth father to his mother when they were together. Curious and without Dante’s mother knowing, he started his own search for his birth father but could not find any information about him.
This year in the Spring, Dante’s mother, on her death bed, finally told him about his father and what had happened between them. Dante listened intently and made notes of what she said. He wanted to remember everything, the next night, Dante’s mother passed away quietly in her sleep. Days after her funeral, a close friend of Dante’s mother from Scotland told him to travel to Paris to look. The friend said that she had remembered a long time ago about his mother speaking of a Darcangel family in France. With that in mind, after selling the family home and placing his belongings in storage, Dante packed a bag and left to Paris.
In 2008, Dante was embraced by Tatjana Darcangel.
Skye Darcangel
Everyone in the world knows who Tatjana Darcangel is. My turn was next. I worked hard to get to Paris, France to sign that multi-million dollar contract. Sold my one bedroom, lakeside condo in British Columbia, traded in the motorcycle for a one way ticket to the city of love, and of course, I had to sleep with a lot of older ladies to get where I am right now. I didn't mind. They needed a good time, and I needed to be on the cover of Numero by the end of the year.
Tatjana and I worked together closely in 2009. For some reason she wanted to be my partner in every ad campaign that came my way. My agent had no idea how she weaseled her way into each and every assignment. I was flattered of course. She is a seasoned model. Knows the ropes, the best photographers, the trendiest designers, hottest night spots, and when Arcene was not around to escort her to all these events, I stepped in. Sorry Arcene, sometimes I was more that just a date and arm candy for her.
So how did I end up as a vampire? Tatjana and I went to the premiere of some vampire flick I never heard of - New Moon? I indulged in all the free samples of everything liquid at that event - And let me tell you - I NEVER laughed so hard in my life. Vampires, werewolves... what the f*ck? Where on earth did they cast that awful main actor too? Wow. I didn't know Tatjana read the books, when did she find time? Anyways, after the premiere, and on the way home, Tatjana and I had an argument that resulted me dumping her off on the other side of town. She can't be right about everything! When I got back to my hotel room, there she was, waiting for me. She wanted to get physical, so I got physical with her.
And now I am living the life of Edward Cullen. With much better clothes, and much better hair. My name is Skye Darcangel, and no, I don't drive a shiny Volvo.
Valen Darcangel
Born in Rome in the early months of 300 AD to the name Theodosius son of Danube a leader of men in the Roman army, like any son of a great captain he strived to live up to his name. Training his mind, body, and soul to better serve Rome and be looked at proudly by his father's eyes. In 317 AD his father was killed on the battle field before his eyes, his mind in a way shut down as he kneeled by his fathers side holding his head. He never was the same for years to come.
He forced himself hard over the next years to climb the ranks in honor of his father and soon found himself a captain of his own troops, becoming known as Theodosius the Vigorous. A loyal captain to a corrupt leader, he never questioned his orders given to him, till his orders involved the slaughter of his hometown so that this corrupt leader could gain control over all of Rome.
He questioned his orders which caused doubt to his loyalty and with one word his troops betrayed him in a field before the slaughter took place, and as he laid there watching the night's sky as he could hear off in the distance the cries broke the silence in the night. A very strong anger started to fill his heart as the screams slowly began to die out. As the stars in the sky began to fade he began to curse everything that he had held in high regards to himself, he cursed his troops, his leader, his faith for allowing this slaughter and soon his eyes closed and he took his last breath.
What happened to him after he die he could never tell you for he dose not know himself, but no sooner did his breath leave him, did his eyes open and air filled his lungs again. It was morning and the slaughter was well over, for a week at that, the town burnt to ash and all within it dead as he walked through what used to be the streets. Some how he was alive again, no wounds on his body and he felt better then he ever did before, it was truly odd but he took it as good for now his revenge will rain for the blood of his family and friends.
He hunted them down one by one taking the life of his troops then he turned to the councils and so on till he had slaughtered those that destroyed his life, soon he became known as Valen the Monstrous for his help in killing The Valen and he did not stop at them. His hatred lead him to kill many leaders and many others. He pledged Rome for years till one day an innocent got in his way and his hands became dyed in their blood, on their last breath they called him a monster.
His mind shattered the rest of the way from when he had seen his fathers death and he fled Rome high in the mountains he hide. For a hundred years he hide in them mountains and ever day he waited for when his life would finally end, but it never did. One night he was founded by a woman and was taken to a Villa by a sea shore. They cared for him and fed and clothed him, they told him they were the Ravanze, a group of immortals of many different kinds the had at one time lost their way as he did and they all keep one another safe now. They became good friends to him, but like all good things for him they were short lived as well. One night the Villa was raided and many were killed and others captured, but they helped him escape to the lose of the people within the Villa.
He started to travel the world as a lonely wanderer taking the name Valen Ravanze and in his travels he began to learn something of what he now was, he knew he was not a mortal or he would never of lived as long as he had, nor would he of survived the hundred years in the mountains. He learned that he was a Daemon, a Fallen, a soul that fell from Heavens grace and cased to walk the world in darkness and he was just fine with that. He seeked to atone for what he did in life, for all the lives he took and he has done so for thousands of years as he continued his wandering, and so his travels brings him to France to see how his life will conspire.
He now owns a building among the back streets of Paris' shopping district where he run his double life business. Angel Fall, the business for the mortals that have no ideal of the dark things in the world, mostly in use for bodyguard, fix it man, or such things as private investigator for the mortals. Exile Devil, his true line of work for all those that know of the worlds darkness, his line of work for anything one might need to hire someone for and somethings that they would "never" think of paying someone to do. While running his business he has met a few people that he will have to keep in memory, ones he would call friend, but he is sure that more may come around.
In May 2008, Valen was embraced by Tatjana Darcangel.
