Really dig all your OCs but Sun especially caught my eye, would love to hear some fun facts abt her if you have any to share !

thank you so much!!! sun is a relatively new oc but here's some basic information for you :]

their full name is yeong sun and they use she/they pronouns, mixed up however much you like! she's from south korea and was in chicago at the university there as exchange student for a full semester while heavenly was in town there, he was 25 at the time and she was 24 :^)

the uni was dealing with a vamp infestation that led to 60% of its students getting severely ill so heavenly had to clear out a vamp nest in a basement on campus somewhere; sun helped him with this and ended up getting turned themself :(

they studied biological sciences! wasn't able to go back to south korea on account of the being a vampire so she stayed in chicago instead and was able to finish her studies there. she specializes in both genetics and immunology and often uses this knowledge nowadays to help map out new vampire bloodlines

i don't know what bloodline sun belongs to yet but i do know it's a very specific one that can generally only be found in chicago due to its vast amounts of nests; vampires of this bloodline are sensitive to sunlight (it can harm them but not kill them) and generally struggle with seeing in lighter areas as well; they're also very agile and can climb walls and even ceilings as long as it's made of a material they can dig their fingers in with super strength or if they move very fast

after being turned, sun stays in chicago for a while to first finish her studies and then work in a research lab; it's a special lab for vampires, meaning she doesn't have to figure out how to blend in with humans. the few humans who do work there are aware of the vampires on the workfloor

they end up becoming fascinated with the differences in vampire bloodlines and what feral sense does to a vampire and how it can change them permanently in some cases; she decides to travel across the country to do field research in hopes to figure out how the process works and if becoming a withered vamp (permanent feral state) is inevitable or not

and this is how she ends up in jericho! this happens around the same time heavenly goes there which is when he's 40 years old so a decent amount of time has passed but sun looks like they haven't aged a day since the last time they saw each other

despite being a vampire, sun helps vampire hunters out occasionally on gigs to deal with ferals or otherwise troublesome vamps :^)
