Kristina Adair

NAME: Kristina Adair

WRITER: Andria M

EMAIL: Ashalenn@juno.com

AGE: legal

CHARACTER'S AGE: 37 years total, she's been a vampire for 5 years

NATURE: Baby Vampire

DESCRIPTION: Kris's one female vanity has always been her hair. When she lets it loose, it hangs in a shimmering jet black curtain to her knees, though most of the time it's kept up in braids, twists, anything to keep it out of the way. She is classically beautiful with a pale, peaches and cream complexion and huge violet eyes that fluctuate according to her moods. The only thing not classical about her beauty is her curvy figure. She's found her beauty to be nothing but a problem her whole life. Standing 5 feet 10 (and a half) inches tall and weighing 170 pounds she doesn't have an ounce of extra fat on her and is in extremely good shape from working out and practicing martial arts. Most of the time she wears some type of simple shirt and pants combo, caring more for her clothes not restricting her movements than any fashion sense. She'll wear most colors but cannot stand bright pastels. PERSONALITY: Something of an enigma to strangers, she's very quiet, and tends to unnerve people when she looks at them since they can't see what is going on inside her head. She's good at wearing a blank I'm-not-here face and fading into the background. Very cool and rational, she tries to plan everything out before acting, and keeps her emotions under tight control. Exceedingly loyal and honest, the thing she hates most is lies, even little ones and the fastest way to lose her friendship and trust is to lie to her. She understands and respects being told "I can't tell you" or "It's none of your business", since she tends to have to say that quite often herself. Not one to chatter, when she does speak people tend to listen. With friends and acquaintances, she's a lot more relaxed and happy, but she doesn't make many close friends because of the high standards she holds herself, and others, too.
ABILITIES: She's extremely good with modern security systems and has studied Kenpo since she was a little girl, later taking up some jujitsu because it interested her. Good with most firearms except rifles.
Since she was changed she's started to develop powers to charm and work with her voice, though the voice is much stronger. Though so far she's only had a little training in using her voice to cause pleasure (mostly for her master), with time and more training she could easily harm with it as it's her strongest talent. Except when forced to use it she ignores her growing power for charming since she hates the idea of forcing someone to do something against their will, that being an ultimate form of "lying" to her. She only possesses a little, basic ability to roll minds.

WEAKNESSES: Typical vampire weaknesses

HISTORY: An only child, Kris grew up with just her mother in the barrio** outside of LA in California. A white girl raised by a white woman who didn't have any man giving her his "protection", Kris watched her mother fight tooth and nail to earn respect from the mostly Mexican neighborhood. Her mother was a tiny woman, barely 5'2", but she went toe to toe against any comers, regardless of size. From her, Kris learned never to back down and that size really is irrelevant for the most part. Since they were in a bad neighborhood and her mother worried about her, she sent Kris to learn self-defense at the local community center when she was six, and since she loved it so much, let her start taking martial arts classes, where she ended up picking Kenpo because that school was closest to home. Though they didn't have much money, she took all the classes she could, and showed a natural talent that delighted her teacher, who told her mother not to worry about the fees, he could afford to slip her into the classes since it was such a pleasure working with her.
Always a quiet, serious child, by the time she was 10 Kris was helping demonstrate and teach the other students, and her teacher, Prof. Lin, suggested she might try another style as well, since no knowledge was ever wasted and the more styles she knew, the better she would be able to defend herself. Thus she took up jujitsu.
By the time she'd entered high school, she'd developed to be very beautiful and found that she'd ended up needing her skills, usually just to convince cocky guys that she was serious about them keeping their hands to themselves, and that no, wrapping an arm around her shoulder (and especially more) really wasn't acceptable. After dealing with that her freshman year, she started developing a "just one of the guys" attitude as well as wearing loose, bulky clothes. She went through school with straight A's and received a scholarship to the University of Westminster in California and majored in Electronic Engineering with a minor in computer sciences, and upon graduating joined a firm that designed security systems for rich individuals. After a three years working with them she was offered a new job, by a private firm that specialized in providing security and protection for those who needed it. Making the move, she began with designing systems for them and testing systems that her co-workers had designed. During one of the tests, when she managed to bypass the entire system and break into a (supposedly) secure estate and make it to the master bedroom past the guards "capture" the owner's daughter, and then got the two of them out as well, they decided she was wasted in design and offered her a position as one of their "protection specialists" (i.e., bodyguards). Accepting, she took some courses in firearms and began her new job. Discovering that she enjoyed it much more than she had sitting in a room designing things all day, she happily worked for the firm for six years before leaving them to take a position as chief of security for a young lawyer who came from an old, rich family on the east coast, and who had made too many enemies in his campaigning for civil rights for supernaturals. When his family started being threatened, he turned to Kris's company for help, and was so impressed with the system and support they provided, a team which Kris had led, that he hired her away from them. Having gotten to know his family and become something of a friend as well, she happily accepted. It was two years after that when she accompanied him to a Vampire Rights rally one night in which he had a client he was representing who was fired from her job when she was turned, and it was there that she caught the eye of an old Master from Egypt who had recently come across the seas for a visit. Unaware of this, a couple weeks later she had a night off and decided to go to a midnight madness special at the movies, which ended up being nearly deserted, and was jumped afterwards while she was at her car. As she'd been last out of the movie no one was around to see the fight. Though she managed to fight off three of the men, one got a lucky shot in and hit her with a tranquilizer dart. When she woke, she was on a boat and chained. Over the next few days, she was repeatedly raped by the Master, whose name, she learned, was Hamad ibn Faisal Al-Hijazi. He was an expert at rolling minds and controlling them and kept her a prisoner in her own body. Deciding that he liked her, as well as being fascinated with her exotic beauty, he changed her. Over the next four years he kept her in his harem in lower Egypt as a pleasure slave, and taught her how to use her power to charm his guests and make them more...agreeable..to his wants. He also enjoyed forcing her to use her voice to bring him pleasure and liked to show off his exotic prize. Trapped inside her own body, Kris wished she could die. Since he also enjoyed rummaging through her memories and thoughts, the time passed in a blur with her never sure what was real or not. Any disobedience was punished, and he quickly learned that if he punished an innocent when *she* did something, she hurt far more and would behave. Soon, she stopped fighting him and began biding her time. Her chance came when he returned to the states five years after she'd been changed and brought her with him, back to California, and showed her off to some of his friends. One of the men, Jason Donovan, who had just tagged along for fun, learned what had been done to her and was horrified, and after Hamad had left with some of the men on a short trip up to Washington, helped her escape and told her to put as much distance between herself and Hamad as possible, recommending that she go to Sanctuary in Maine and talk with an old friend of his, Lee Snypes, and ask him for help. With a quick stop to get some money (and a fervent prayer thanking God that he'd returned her old ID's when they'd had to go through customs and hadn't remembered to take them away again), she began running, zig-zagging across the country and avoiding other vampires for fear of leaving a trail he could follow. ** a barrio is a poverty-class neighborhood, one that is predominantly filled with mexicans and other non-whites.
