Backstories: Ghost Echo

 Vampire with Crimson Wings that allow him to fly around the City of Light

 Current Whereabouts: Coven Leader of JadeWings along with Juna


Juna....really...ok for you.

   Music. That was everything for me. Life wasn't idealistic but it wasn't horrible either. My mother loved the Piano, she used to spend hours showing me notes, letting me listen to how they responded to touch. My father was never around and she worked long hours to make ends meet, but I can remember her soft smile and the way she would brush the hair out of my eyes.

  Since I had a lot of time on my hands I spent it reading up on things that I found fascinating or exploring our neighborhood which being kinda poor really offered up all sorts of adventure and trouble. Like I said not horrible, until the evening that I came home and found that yellow police tape surrounding our apartment and a one of those horrid CPS ladies was trying to lead me away. Turns out that my dead beat dad had come back looking for money. My mother had accidentally surprised him. The rest is hazy, but I suddenly found myself shoved into one of those Orphanages, I was 11. You watch in movies about Orphans, yeah they forget to mention that worse than the matron are the kids.
  Those two years are a blur. Frozen memories that I pushed back. The violence, anger all that I managed to push away until it was just to much. I couldn't deal. I broke out at 13. No home, no food, life on the streets turned me to dealing out on the corners. That was my life, in exchange sometimes for a bowl of soup.
  Mhhmk...I was 15, and it was dark. I think they felt me before I even knew they were there. They surrounded me. At first I was unsure so I stood pretty defiantly knowing that if they tried anything I could take them on. The tall mysterious girl was about my age, and her other two partners seemed to interested. It turned out to be Jacey and of course you know she bit me. I followed her and you know the rest Juna. Its been about 50 years since that night.
  
   I trained in all forms of magic, and studied fascinated by this world. I discovered the power of peace and chaos. And you know my three swords that always hang in my study. The one you seem to favor. Lux which is a long sword of Light. Umbra the Shadow sword and Astrum my sky great sword.
   
  There isn't much more. I came with Jacey to the Coven and got into a conflict with Percy over what I don't remember and for sometime I taught Deathgirl and then she vanished and I never took another student after her.

  Juna don't give me that look. You knew that already....alright enough. I need to go Fly....
