Overview
Overview
Vixa, an ever-changing, chaotic and curious individual, oftentimes found in the employment of another Kindred as butler/assistant, or working as medicial practicioner for a crime syndicate (the other times you may find her behind a bar, as she loves chatting with people and bartending allows just that).
Some say she was a hunter once...

Brock - need muscle, and firepower? Brock from Blackwood Inc. is here to help. He's a good guy. Great friend! Most days... just don't hire him a few hours after he had a fight with his wife. If you're wondering what kind of a guy he is, then think of a tough, usually silent type, who when flying off a handle, turns into a berseker (totally not a reference char xD)

History
History
There was this saying amongst her friends once, a bit grim one, some might add. It was "You live long enough to become their meal, or you become one of them.", and it was coined by the pessimist of their hunting party - Jackie everyone called him. Poor Jackie. She reallly liked him.
So yeah, the rumors about her being an ex-hunter are true. She was one of them once, and still has a fond spot for mortals, who risk their lives to hunt the supernatural.
Vixa, or rather Albina Ambroza, was born in 1969 in Poland to a small family of three: Bianka, Hubert, and Jacek. Her father, Hubert, was known as "Bright Heart" among the hunters due to his kind-hearted nature and inability to give up on people. Strangely, this often worked out in his favor. When it didn't, Bianka usually stepped up as she was a much more capable fighter.

Her father, Hubert, was known as "Bright Heart" among the hunters due to his kind-hearted nature and inability to give up on people. Strangely, this often worked out in his favor. When it didn't, Bianka usually stepped up as she was a much more capable fighter.
Albina was a quiet baby, a lively kid with a big smile, and a daring hunter when the time came. Oftentimes, she was the one who needed to spend the most time on the bench due to being too wounded to continue to hunt. Still she somehow managed to survive through sheer luck or perhaps willpower.
Everything began to fall apart during one particular hunt for a vampire, a Tzimisce that managed to bring one of her companions to a critical state, all while taking a sip from her - kiss. Deathly. Yet bringing immeasurable pleasure. That's how it should be, but back then it was far from pleasant, and she was sucked dry stabbing the bastard till the strength left her body. She died, or rather should've died. It certainly wasn't intentional, but she ended up becoming one of the kin.
Right, so that's the moment where you expect a sad story about how in a blood crazed frenzy she went and drank whoever remained of her merry group. That cliche did not happen. She did chase after that Tzimisce bastard though.
It turned out they weren't the only ones who were on the hunt that night. Unbeknownst to Albina and her group, the Tzimisce they were hunting for was bloodhunted, and a particular Gentleman was looking for him too. They formed a... shaky alliance of sorts, and he helped with her little blood thirst problem.
Finding the Tzimisce wasn't as hard as the second round of a fight - even with an ally who had a small retinue, the fight lasted hours, and ended in casualties. In the end, the Tzimisce was beaten and the Gentleman diablerized him as was his right through the blood hunt. The ecstasy... became a problem though, and after further casualties, the remaining servant with Albina managed to "calm down" the Gentleman.
Albina took her time exploring Tzimisce's hideout, while the servant tended to his master, and that's when she stumbled upon a sealed being of great power. Amused, and intrigued, it offered a deal, and she'd love to have gotten rid of the blasted curse right then, but it was too much to ask. Apparently. Instead it removed one of the nuisances that come with it. Leaving her with mixed feelings. It was pricey even after a bit of haggling. And she may never speak of it.
Nonetheless, that Gentleman ended up becoming her surrogate sire of sorts - introducing her into the life of a kindred, even though she wasn't too keen on it, this was her only choice at that point. Although, she refused to fully cut off her ties with the friends or the family. A mistake perhaps... time will tell.
Putting aside the following "fun" ordeal regarding the masquerade, and the surprising amount of work her new friend had to do to keep her out of a heap of trouble, they didn't stay for long in Poland. Moving to Baltimore wasn't easy, but the place isn't that bad, and what? It's been about 30 years now since she lost her normal-ish life? There's got to be a way to get it back... but she might as well have fun while looking for it!

Some of her dumbest choices:

- fleshcrafted her home soil into her body (truly the land is you xD)
- "I wonder, what if I combine hydrogen peroxide with..."
- "Oh! Big Guy! HIT ME!" Vixa gets thrown out the window
Rp's so far:
- Tonight's Main Event (Open) - making new friends, and a Flyer for a Friend.
- The Spiders are Always Watching - a normal night, a bartending time, with a bit of drama as it usually comes. Who would've thought that night Isaac and Vixa would meet by pure happenstance. His attention caught by her silly dance moves, and the offish aura. The silly pup stood out so much, clearly not used to people. She ended up inviting him for a chat, which turned into a learning experience - a social game soon leading to Isaac's breakdown. Then came a tarot game, reading the past, a glance at Vixa's past. And that of her friends. What a wonder, what fun it was, when another shift came - an intimate fun between the two. A cute little fiend, a succubus seducing Isaac, and finally when the goodbye's came, Vixa broke down - overwhelmed by the past. Worried for Isaac who, in some ways, reminded her of Matas, whom she lost. A pleasant meeting ending on a sad note for at least one of them.
- Owl Stretching Time - IP
- A Lonely Ride, Honoring a Friend - TBD, open maybe
- A Flyer for a Friend - Vixa visits her friend, gets spooked a little, but delivers a flyer for a gym she got specifically for Brock. A gentle jab at him, although he misunderstood her intentions at first. Sad news were mentioned (a story for another time). In the end they had a drink, and a couple rounds of Mortal Combat on PlayStation. Most of them ending in her loss.
