Lucen Blair

Intro Most tales place vampires as a dreaded scourge on humanity…monsters in the dark with indomitable, unholy power that wreak havoc on the masses. The taint of their corruption runs deep…and spreads its wickedness to the desperate and unwary. But this is not one of those tales… Vampires are valuable commodities…bought and sold by the elite and used for their own selfish ends. Sometimes members of the lower classes are forcibly turned to create more of a supply. This is all an operation that is kept from the eyes of the wider public…but it’s all too common behind closed doors. Vampires have many useful properties that can vary from one specimen to another; mind control, healing, shapeshifting, shadow manipulation…and all have an addictive quality to their blood that adds to how they are coveted by greedy humans. You would think with the powers at their disposal that vampires could rebel against their oppressors…but meticulous work is put into keeping them under control. Lucen is one such vampire that has been pushed so low he can’t even imagine what feeling free is like. His eyes are kept covered to keep him from manipulating others with his gaze unless his “master” wills it…since Lucen has the ability to influence the thoughts and feelings of humans through eye contact. Whether you are the progeny of this “master,” a fellow vampire with a plan of escape, or whatever else suits you…you find yourself where Lucen is being held one evening. Does curiosity, altruism, or something else draw you here?
