BACKGROUND: ​

Naomi's early years were marked by abandonment and a struggle for survival. Born on the outskirts of the city, she was left as a baby at a fire station and subsequently raised in an orphanage. Life in the orphanage provided her with essential life skills and eventually led her to secure a job as a city mail carrier. It was during this time that she met her first and only love, and together they dreamed of breaking free from their circumstances and finding a place of their own.
Tragedy struck one fateful night when Naomi found herself caught in a dangerous situation. Desperate to find a safe haven before curfew, she sought refuge with an elderly woman who unknowingly turned out to be a Familiar, working in the service of a master vampire. Naomi fell victim to a sudden transformation, and the struggle to control her newfound vampiric nature began.

In a horrifying turn of events, Naomi, driven by hunger and unaware of her condition, attacked and killed her beloved boyfriend as he returned home from work. Overwhelmed by guilt and illness, she ventured into the streets, seeking help from the Hunters, fully aware of the dire consequences she faced as a vampire. Proving her worth by presenting the Hunter Mark, she was reluctantly granted a trial membership in the guild.

Currently, Naomi works within the guild under the watchful eyes of several hunters. While she grapples with the internal turmoil caused by her vampiric nature and the loss of her loved one, she strives to contribute to the Hunters' cause to the best of her abilities. However, her reliance on A-300, a synthetic blood substitute, poses its own set of challenges, as her first taste of blood came from her now deceased boyfriend. This unfortunate circumstance leaves her grappling with both physical and emotional issues, but she remains determined to assist her fellow hunters in their fight against the forces of darkness.

As her journey progresses into Chapter 2, Naomi's tragic past continues to haunt her. Her boyfriend, once an aspiring investigator delving into the origins of ferals plaguing the city, becomes an unexpected threat in her life. When she encounters him again, transformed into a feral himself, she is forced to engage in a heartbreaking and violent confrontation, ultimately having to take his life once more. The events leave her emotionally shaken, yet fate intercedes as she crosses paths with Jonah, a fellow hunter who initially mistakes her for a feral. This twist of fate adds a layer of karma to her already tumultuous journey.

Furthermore, Naomi's mysterious past unfolds to reveal that her parents were part of a disturbing experiment. Injected with the vampire virus during her mother's pregnancy, Naomi was the unwitting subject of this needless study. As a result, her memories prior to the age of 16 have been completely wiped away, leaving her with only fragmented recollections of her life in the orphanage. This vulnerability becomes a weapon when Fiona, a clone of Erra, manipulates Naomi's amnesia to escape Earth and embark on a mission to Mars, leaving Naomi as an unwitting scapegoat.

Naomi's character development showcases resilience, determination, and an ongoing battle with her internal demons. Her journey is fraught with emotional and physical struggles, providing ample opportunities for growth and overcoming her limitations. Through her experiences, she continues to evolve as a complex and relatable character, driven by a desire for redemption and a longing to find her true identity.

Kade grew up in the Corporation park area of Arcadia. He attended prestigious schools and did very well in his studies. However as a child, he was picked on due to his academic success.

One night, Estella was running late from work. Kade decided to meet her in the Lobby of Arch Medical to walk her back to their home, fearing her safety as it was past curfew. On their way home, they encountered a Creator Vampire who, hungry and near death, attacked them and took Estella's life. Kade launched into a fury, but the vampire got away by transforming into a mist.

Worried for his daughter's safety, Kade moved her into his parent's home, who continued to look after her in a high-security compound in Arcadia. (To comply with BMR rules, the daughter will not be present, only mentioned rarely.)
