WELCOME TO LOS EUROSIA,
Nyx Cavanaugh Atlas
“None of us really changes over time; we only become more fully what we are.”
BASICS
NAME:Nyx Cavanaugh Atlas
AGE: 2000s

PRONOUNS: She/her
SEXUALITY: Bisexual
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single
OCCUPATION: Entrepreneur
NEIGHBORHOOD: Grey Pebbles
MEMBER GROUP: Blackstorm
POWERS: Vampire PhysiologyNyx is a vampire. This is deeper than the classical holywood pale skin and sharp fangs trope. Her pretty human exterior is a facade for the monster that hides underneath. For starters she is basically immortal, old age cannot kill her and due to her organs having transformed she is pretty tough to kill, only direct sunlight or extreme damage (to the level her entire body would be gone) would put her down for good. This is due to her body only needing blood to survive and produce more cells, regenerating faster, taking only a snack on blood to recover from anything, from a small cut to even dismemberment. This is limited by her weakness to silver and sunlight, any wounds caused by any of those will be impossible to regenerate quickly, only by resting long enough can she recover from them.
Silver and sunlight burns her skin like fire, long exposure to either one of them would cause her death as staying out in the sun is the same as setting yourself on fire. Thanks to her altered physiology her skin is highly sensitive to UV rays and silver.
While she can consume normal food and drinks and alcohol even has some limited effects on her, the only thing that sates her is blood, her entire digestive track was accomodated to turning blood into energy. This causes her to always have a slender figure and her body always looks its prime as it takes all its nutrients from blood, not needing any specific diet.
Her physiology grants her the strength of 10 average humans to facilitate hunting for prey, she is twice as fast as an athlete and has echolocation and heightened reflects. Those traits are all due to her mutations, and they are lost when goes too long without drinking copious ammounts of blood.
Nyx's true vampirical form is a 7 ft monstrosity with a bat-like appearance, white hair and long bat-wings capable of flight, her claws grows and her fangs turns sharper. This transformation can only be triggered when she is well fed, she can partially transform to save blood.

OVERALL PERSONALITY: There are three sides to Nyx's personality. One is a nice and caring woman, something that she heard some people refer to as "motherly teacher", giving away to charity, trying to change the world for the better, helping people or just being there for someone, giving advice, being someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on. Then there is the ruthless calculist who thinks of her survival above all else, finding the best ways to archieve her goals without putting her life on the line. Going to great lengths to mantain her lifestyle and her powers secret, assassinations, playing sides, making sure that the people are unaware of gifteds and unaware of her. She is only part of Blackstorm to make sure the 'war' stays in a nice stalemate, knowing that the sector isn't beneficial to her.
The final part is a woman that has had enough of living, that wants to find a real purpose for her life rather than fearing the sun or trying to fit in for hundreds of years, finding a new disguise, new lifestyle, a new life each time she spent enough time in another place.
BACKGROUND
HOMETOWN: Corinth
FAMILY: Long dead.
PETS: None yet.
HISTORY:
Cressida was her real name, born in Corinth a few years before the famous battle of Corinth, when Rome had finally conquered greece. She remembers little of the time before her powers fully developed. She remembers the sun, how beautiful and calm it was, bright days and dark nights. There were no fancy poasts or lamps. Only fire and the moonlight. She remembers walking the open fields, enjoying fresh food delivered by servants, she had a good life, and despite the horrors of the war, her life kept being good. She assumes her father was a traitor or a spy, must have been. Since their lifestyle barely changed after the ocupation. While her sisters and brothers were married off, she got to stay at home for a little longer, as she was the favorite, the one her mother and father couldn't send off to the world just yet. Life was good.
Until her powers started appearing. One day she fell off her horse as her skin grew pale, she stayed in a coma for weeks. Her parents were sure she had caught some sort of plague. Any exposure to sunlight would burn her skin, normal food couldn't sate her, until one day she attacked a servant and drew their blood. She got better almost immediately after, but she and her family knew that her life would never be the same. She spent the following years hiding as her family fed her animals and even servants when they were desperate enough.
Centuries went by and she moved on from place to place as time went on. She found out she wasn't alone, there were other 'gifted' out there, but she had to trace her own way. Nyx was different from the rest, she couldn't walk on daylight, she couldn't stay in one place for too long. Slowly she had forgotten her old life, all that remained was sweet memories from walks under the sunlight. She fears that at each passing day she loses a piece of herself.
The rest of her life (or unlife) was mostly uneventful, centuries and big historical events flew by and she was stuck living on a basement, cavern or doing her best to fake being a normal human, but there is only so much you can do when the night life is all that is avaiable, and on the days of old good folk didn't hang outside at night. She had to flee from the witch hunts, wars, and the eventual famine. Trying to stay out of the eye of the hurricane as much as possible.
The rise of civilization however made her life easier. After the 20th century it was common for folk to be outside at late night, allowing her to have some resemblance of a normal life. There were no more witch hunts and now with the rise of medical proceedures she can safely hide under the nose of society for at least 2 decades before disappearing into obscurity, finding a new disguise and a new fake family.
Her current disguise is something a lot more foward. She has walked into the spotlight as Nyx Atlas, daughter of a chemist and founder of the Atlas group, a research and development company focused on creating vaccines for common diseases and a cure for cancer. Mostly a front to justify a a couple of bodybags going missing, but her company is mostly legit.
