Player: Ben and Gil
Email: villaderosa@surfline.ne.jp
Age: 40+
NAME: Raquel
NATURE: werepanther
AGE: 25--came to the Alhambra when she was 22 (Namir doesn't allow anyone under 21 to come there, for legal reasons)
ABILITIES:If there were an alpha female among the Alhambra cats, she's it (this group doesn't tend to be as hierarchical as most packs).
APPEARANCE: Raquel is Brazilian, and this is the kind of girl who was immortalized in GIRL FROM IPANEMA and a thousand sambas. Her skin is a gorgeous light coppery-brown, her hair a rich dark auburn, brown eyes under arched brows, a full soft mouth, and the body for which Brazilian bikinis were designed. She loves the sun and the beach and spends as much time as she can on the Alhambra's private clothing optional beach (she usually wears a thong bikini and a bellychain because they show her off). Her garb is either aggressively sexy (micro-minis with high heels and cropped tops) or romantic (gauze skirts, silk gauze peasant blouses or tank tops). 5'6", 130 pounds, all exactly where is should be.
HISTORY: She was attacked when she was 13 by a werepanther. They didn't expect her to live, but she did, and realized she had contracted the disease. Her wealthy family kept it a big secret, but when her fiancé found out, he broke off the engagement. She was only 18 when that happened, and had been left a sizable inheritance by an aunt, but even her beauty and wealth were not enough to overcome the stigma of her lycanthropy. Realizing she would never have a normal life, she threw caution to the winds and became a wild child. Namir met her during Carnival in Rio one year, and carried her to California, recognizing her as a fellow hedonist.He also saw the sadness she hid from everyone, and helped her to deal with the rejection she had faced at home from family and her fiancé. She is now a happy, extroverted, wonderfully passionate young woman who had learned that being a were has its definite benefits. It doesn't hurt that she's fallen in love with Michael, an elegant English vampire who could be David Bowie's twin when he was in Labyrinth....and is trying to decide whether or not to become his human servant. While she adores sex in any form, she particularly enjoys light S&M (nothing heavy-duty is allowed, and nothing that could scar or injure someone is permitted).
NAME: Lilana
NATURE: werelioness
AGE: Born in 1964 to a wealthy Spanish family, she was vacationing in Africa when she was attacked by what turned out to be a werelion.
ABILITIES: standard were
APPEARANCE: At 5'9" and 135, she is a statuesque beauty. Her hair is curly and honey blonde, with light blonde streaks from the sun and gold and red highlights. Her skin is a rich golden shade, her eyes a striking glue gray against her tawny complexion. She dresses with provocative elegance, favoring designers like Caroline Here and Mary McFadden.
PERSONALITY: SHe has the slight aloofness of the Spanish aristocrat she is, but all her emotions run deep, and when she is angry or happy, it is like watching a force of nature--she is the Alhambra's resident diva. Do not piss her off. SHe doesn't suffer fools gladly, and can put someone in their place with a single glance. Despite that touch of distance, she is wonderfully charming and can be very funny when she chooses to be (she and Genevieve and Gina get together and plan elaborate practical jokes).
HISTORY: Her family didn't abandon her when she contracted lycanthropy, but she still felt as if she no longer belonged in Seville. She began to make the rounds of fashionable European haunts, aimless and vaguely unhappy. Eva found her , and recruited her for the Alhambra, where she was freed to be herself. Despite her queenly manner she is most definitely a bottom, and tends to have a slight preference for women over men as sexual partners.
NAME: Amy
NATURE: werecougar
AGE: 28; contracted lycanthropy when she was 19, while camping with pals from college.
ABILITIES: the usual were powers
APPEARANCE: at 5'10 and 135, she's the perfect California girl from every surfer's dream, with the long legs, high full breasts and perfect butt that are best showed off in the tiniest of bikinis. She and Raquel are the beach and poolside entertainment. Her waist-length hair is a natural blonde , and she has a sweet face, with slightly snub nose--all-American good looks. She dresses the part--tight jeans and little halter or cropped tops during the day, spandex at night, usually white to show off her tan. But her favorite outfits are of white leather--she's a top, you see.
PERSONALITY: Friendly, out-going, uncomplicated, she really is as sweet as she looks. Sex, for her, is an art and a recreation.
HISTORY: Amy was born to a nice, middle-class family in Northern California. She was popular in high school and her sheer niceness got her elected Homecoming Queen, beating out the most reigning belle, a Heather clone. If she hadn't become a were, she'd have become a model--had, in fact, already begun her career with some success (mostly catalogue work, but a few small spreads in magazine and a chewing gum commercial) with a good chance at a contract with Victoria's Secret when she was attacked. No one wanted a were as spokesman for their company, so she went back to college and studied acting instead, though she knew she didn't have much hope of making it if her lycanthropy was discovered. She also trained as a masseuse, and was working as one in LA when Namir happened to call for a massage (and I do mean a masseuse; she wasn't a hooker) and got Amy. He realized what she was immediately, and they spent the night together...He persuaded her to visit the Alhambra (a masseuse is always a good idea), and she decided she'd found her new home. While she is the cutest dominatrix in the world, she especially enjoys having two men at the same time, and leaves them both exhausted and happy.
NAME: Carlos
NATURE: werejaguar
AGE: changed in 1964; now 34
ABILITIES: the usual; he's not a dominant
APPEARANCE: he bears an astonishing resemblance to Rudolph Valentino, all intense Latin good looks, but his eyes are a deep green, an inheritance from his Irish mother. 5'10" inches tall, a muscular 190, the kind of body male models envy. Elegant dress--but has been known to wear gaucho garb for costume parties, and looks wonderful in it. He is the sort of man tango was designed for, and moves with the grace of the jaguar he is.
PERSONALITY: A little brooding, a little aloof, he is the perfect romantic hero in many ways. When he is depressed, he can be dangerous. Fortunately, he seldom feels that way anymore, now that he has adjusted to being a were. He is still intense and feels very deeply, but thanks to Ilsa he is mostly happy these days
HISTORY:He was an international playboy when he was attacked at home in Argentina. His wife divorced him, and he was badly hurt by her anger and fear. He met Ilsa in Argentina when she was visiting Namir there. They became lovers. She brought joy back into his life. He is utterly devoted to her. She wants him to become her human servant, because she cannot bear the thought of his growing old and dying and leaving her alone. Will he? Time will tell. He is a top--to Ilsa's bottom. He is also bisexual and has no preference, except for Ilsa
NAME: Gregory
NATURE: were; snow leopard
AGE: 35
ABILITIES: usual were, but he is able to endure extreme cold due to the type of cat he becomes
APPEARANCE: Jeremy Irons. Brown hair impeccably styled, hazel eyes, a sophisticated, cynical look on a thin face. 6 feet tall, 170, strong but sinewy. He is Mr. GQ is person, always well-dressed, the sort of who would never think of wearing jeans or a T-shirt (Lee's Evil Twin, perhaps?). There's something dangerous about him, perhaps the grace with which he moves. I think of him as Scar from THE LION KING inhuman form...though he is a jaguar. He has this restless energy about him, combined with a sarcastic wit...
PERSONALITY: A jetset playboy (he and Carlos knew each other) whose quest was always to avoid boredom. A thrill-seeker who drove racing cars, skied, and climbed mountains for amusement (was on the British ski team for the Olympics but that ended when he became a were at 25). Always surrounded by beautiful women. He's calmed down, though there is still a dark streak in him. He reminds me of Sir Richard Francis Burton, the Victorian explorer who constantly tested himself. Only reason he hasn't challenged Sasha for dominance is that he doesn't want the hassle of being a pack leader--his were side is helping him gain control over his dark side, and as a result he is becoming a happier man.
HISTORY: Born to a wealthy family, untitled but with connections, he lived the life of a typical upper-class playboy, always seeking soemthing to stave of boredom--racing, skiing, climbing, sailing. He always had a flock of women, none of whom he gave two cents for. While climbing in Nepal, he was attacked by a were snow leopard, and barely lived through it. He hid his secret until he ran into Carlos, who was by now involved with Ilsa. He introduced him to Namir, who though he would round out the Alhambra staff nicely. He does, and, thanks to Sita, is finding his center and controlling those dangerous impulses of his.
NAME: Sasha
NATURE: were Siberian tiger (white with black stripes, blue eyes); Nicolai's human servant
