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.
In 2010, Tatjana and Arcene officially separated. She found herself becoming very close to Valen Darcangel, someone who she embraced many years ago, and had been there for her when Arcene was not around. Valen left the family in 2011, leaving Tatjana again on her own. Tatjana made some tough decisions regarding the family after that. Some Darcangels left the family permanently. Tatjana was very upset when Gabriel Darcangel left. Praying for his return. Who knows what the future will hold for the blonde vampire. Her life full of heartache in the city of love.
Adora Darcangel
Adora's bio is being re-vamped. Check back later!
Aponi Darcangel
Aponi spent ten years on the reservation in Oklahoma with her mother, since her parents were never married her mother had custody of her. Shortly after turning eleven her father came to visit, but came to a decision to kidnap Aponi. She spent six years in Grenoble, France with her father before she was able to get back home. When she got back the reservation she found her mother, who promptly began teaching her the ins and outs of a medicine woman.
Aponi spent ten years studying with her mother and the elders on the reservation before leaving to do a little traveling. It was in her tour of France that she decided to stay, where she has been for the past three years. Here she's learned a few new age remedies from local Wiccan covens and solitary Wiccans.
Aponi was embraced by Dante Darcangel in December 2010.
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. I was working as a defense lawyer at the time and bought the mansion next door to hers. Sure I wanted to get to know Tatjana at the time. She is stunningly beautiful. But I made some wrong choices and scared her. She had me arrested for trespassing but did not press charges. I have a confession to make, I am a bloody peeping tom. Her lifestyle, her family, but more importantly, her beauty kept me up a night watching.
Though I had to maintain a more professional image at the time, Tatjana and I spent an awful alot of time alone together in my mansion, rather than hers. I knew she had an extended family. Some that I could not figure out. Believe me, I had run her name with the cops, I had her investigated from top to bottom. I am afraid I nearly lost her when she found out what I was doing. I found out more than what I could withstand. This woman and her family were vampires. At first it was crazy, yeah, vampires, right. Her family started to piss me off, they were aware of my actions and my secret meetings with private investigators that were watching them. I threatened the ugliest one, can't remember her name but I know she is not around anymore, that I would buy Tatjana's mansion and make it into my own personal parking lot. My mansion would triple in price if I were to go with it. Living in the Garden District of Orleans you were always in competition with your neighbours. Unfortunately Tatjana did not think so. She owned the place, heck, she owned Orleans if I was right. She came over one night to show me how persuasive she could be. I never met a woman in my entire life that could do that. I suddenly found myself head to head with her in a heated battle that nearly destroyed 3/4 of my house inside. That woman sure knows how to wreck things.
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.
Ginger Darcangel
Raised by parents who could not afford to take care of a child, Ginger was routinely cold and hungry and generally resented by her parents. After six years of their struggling to make end's meet, the opportunity arose to indenture her to a wealthy family in America and they seized it, bundling her onto the first ship to sail for the New World that spring. Scared and utterly alone, Ginger had a miserable voyage and when she arrived, was grateful to find that the family she had been indentured to seemed to be decent, kind people. They clothed and fed her, showed her the chores she would be expected to do and even gave her some pocket money.
Living an altogether better life in America than she would have in England, Ginger was happy, and grew up needed and appreciated, if not loved.When she turned nineteen, the lady of the manor died suddenly, complications of the heart it was said, but the mystery surrounding her death kept Ginger up at nights. It was rumored that her body was found drained of blood in the garden. Grief-stricken, the lord of the manor fell into apathy, leaving Ginger and the other servants to care for him and the property until his death (of natural causes) six months later.
At a loss for what to do now that her employers had died and left the manor to family who planned to sell the property and free the servants, Ginger spent a year doing odd jobs around the town in exchange for board and lodging; she worked as a barmaid, a midwife, a seamstress and an pharmacist's apprentice before meeting the man who gave her her immortality.
He never told her his name, but instead, seduced her and offered her a chance to be more powerful than any human being, the chance to live as a god. Ginger had some doubts, but realizing that she really had nothing to lose, accepted. After her turning, he stayed with her for a month, teaching her how to adapt to this new way of living before he also left abruptly, telling her not to seek him out after that.
Despite this odd request, Ginger searched - and continues to search- - for her sire, though admittedly, she would be hard-pressed to know what to say if she actually did find him.
Jennifer Darcangel
Jennifer Darcangel was born into this world as Jennifer Camryn Storm on June 29th 1980. She grew up in rural Illinois, helping her parents and brothers maintain their family farm. As she grew up she found herself spending a lot of time in the small town where she and her brothers went to school, excelling in math and sciences.
Upon graduating high school she accepted a scholarship to the University of Illinois where she studied nursing. Graduating in the top ten of her class, with Summa Cum Laude honors, she went on to study at Bradley University where she was one of fourteen accepted out of six hundred applicants. After graduating again with Summa Cum Laude honors she accepted a position with the Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.
After a few months there and tired of dealing with faceless patients where she was not allowed to feel as if she could help people she accepted a position as Head Nurse at a small twenty-four hour clinic in New Orleans. At this clinic she met a patient by the name of Nicole Turner. Miss Turner left her wallet by mistake at the clinic and when Jennifer returned it to her home she met Lysandra Darcangel. During the spring of 2004, after becoming fast friends with Lysandra, Jennifer was embraced by her becoming her chylde.
Jennifer Storm now Jennifer Darcangel resided at Darcangel Mansion in the heart of New Orleans, until the disappearance of Lysandra. She left New Orleans in search of her only to come up empty handed. Jennifer heard the family had mostly moved back to Paris so she ended up there only to be re-embraced by Tatjana in November of 2010.
Max Darcangel
Some would say that Maximillian Deveraux is a teacher, some virtuoso. The truth of the matter is that this man is a very complex soul. Lost to his own thoughts and feelings. The piano or violin often serving to be his only link to this life, his muse and his redemption.
It was something that his parent stirred in him long ago. The will and want to make something beautiful in a world that often seemed full of misery and despair, of loneliness. It is a feeling that through his music he had hoped to change in others. To make the world something better, until his parents were taken from him. It seemed at that moment all the beauty of the world seemed to disappear, and the theme of his music, of his own life became something darker.
Now grown, many years later, Max has come across a new family, the Darcangel family. Embraced within their confines their company,
he sees a chance to regains something of the life he felt was torn from him. A way to bring back some light from the darkness, as part of darkness he has become. As he has chosen.
