Emma Cole
Emma Cole
Emma is a former hunter; she was part of John and Maira's team when all three were junior hunters with Chimera. Turned in a fight against one of the oldest and most dangerous vampires in the world, she's successfully fought the mindless bloodlust of most fledglings and become a powerful figure in the "Nightlife" underground. Her nightclub, The Luna, is a well-known vampire gathering place, and some of the information she learns she continues to funnel back to Chimera, a small acknowledgment of her earlier profession and her former friends.
Physical Description
Identifying Characteristics
Like most vampires, Emma has long fangs and eyes that glow red when she is actively using her vampire strength or preparing to fight.
Special abilities
As a vampire, Emma possesses superhuman strength and speed, the ability to heal any wound besides those caused by silver or stakes as long as she has access to fresh human blood, superior night vision, and the ability to hear high-frequency pitches.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Emma Cole was born to a Chinese father and a mother of mixed Ukrainian and Danish descent, in San Francisco. She was the third child of five, and the only one to become a hunter. Her family was uninvolved with the Nightlife until Emma went to visit her sister in college, noticed she was behaving strangely, and shadowed her to a Nightlife club where she was acting as a host to a vampire there. Emma, unsure what she'd seen, tried to report the situation to SFPD. She was redirected to the Frisco agency by the police liaison when her call came in, and she ignored instruction to leave the area, afraid of what was going to happen to her sister. As a result, she witnessed a hunter tactical raid, and became interested in the world she hadn't known existed in her city. Through her sister, she made enough connections to find out about hunters and how to join them, and enrolled in the San Francisco academy after graduation. She took the precaution of changing her surname to one she selected at random to avoid dragging her family into the life any more than they already were. After three years in Frisco she transferred to Los Angeles, to the Chimera Agency, when her sister moved, as she constantly tried to make sure her sister never ended up trapped as a host again.
Education
Emma trained at the San Francisco hunter academy for a year before joining a field team.
Employment
Emma was formerly a hunter for the Chimera Agency until her turning. When she re-emerged as a vampire, she was briefly Arion's thrall before breaking his control over her and freeing herself. She took ownership of a small nightclub with the help of her former teammates, and now has a thriving business as well as acting as an informant for Chimera.
Morality & Philosophy
Emma has no patience with anyone who acts like the fact that she is a vampire makes her inherently evil. She hates the idea that vampires, many of whom didn't want to be turned, are judged, hated, and hunted because of who their sire was. She's opened her club and her coven to any and all vampires looking for a fresh start. Emma firmly believes in judging each vampire on their own merit, as she's seen firsthand the results of widespread belief that vampires are nothing more than a race of monsters. She won't tolerate anyone who acts like the actions of some vampires are carte blanche to exterminate their entire species.
Social
Speech
Emma has worked to overcome the speech impediment caused by the presence of elongated fangs, but whenever she is angry, her pronunciation is altered by them.
