Here’s an in-depth look at my Lost Boys OC:

Starter Information

Species: Calta; in nature there is always a bigger animal, a predator to each predator. Caltas are predator to the various supernatural beings that walk the earth, day and night. They’re individual hunters, although they occasionally hunt with fellow Calta should it be for the pleasure of the company or the upper hand over their prey. Calta are mainly carnivorous, they can’t digest vegetarian foods as it is harmful to their digestive system; vegetarian foods are instantly rejected from the body. Calta only require three full hours of sleep to maximize their time alert and on the hunt; Calta hunt supernatural monsters such as: werewolves, vampires, dhimoni, sevren, mermaids, etc. If there aren’t monsters around to hunt, their diet can be supplemented with human, although it will require a much larger portion. Calta do not waste; everything down to the bone is eaten. Calta have two rows of teeth strong enough to tear through metal, bone, chain, scales, etc. Their teeth are retractable for the purpose of disguise. When hunting/shifted, Calta eyes appear as though they were shakily drawn and emit a deep yelllow glow; eyes can adjust to any darkness setting, and have infrared-sight properties. Calta nails extend into talon bones equally as strong as their teeth. Calta blood is gold, and to other monsters, delectable to the taste; Calta blood is the main bait, as well as appearance. Their blood can also be used in blood-inking, an intimate act between Calta and their lover(s). Calta are stronger than other monsters, but in a situation where they are outnumbered they either 1] search for fastest escape route, 2] go feral, 3] attempt to attack and kill. Calta can reach speeds between 75-80 mph in short bursts, or a single long burst in escapes or hunts. Caltas always have lavendar-blue eyes. Calta stop physically ageing at 21; the aging process of a Calta is sped up - they always appear at least three years older than they are until they are of age(21).

Taika was born August 3, 1773 in Fordwich, England.

She lived off the streets, stealing, hunting, and swindling her way through the day. She was very good at what she did, and it got her into a lot of trouble, but never so much that she couldn’t talk her way out of it. She was always a wonder to the people of Fordwich; she was the girl with wild purple eyes with no family to her name and a fire in her heart. At age 24 she was engaged in an adventurous career of pirating. She worked her way through the ranks of the crew, earning the favor of her captain, as well as the captains of other vessels. In the year of 1789, the crew of her vessel the Little Misfortune was established, and on May 25, 1789 the Little Misfortune left dock. Taika was captain of the Little Misforutne, known as “The Tempest”, from 1789 to 1840, although her original crew was slaughtered in 1811 by Spanish Imperials.

Taika and her first mate were the only survivors, although she made quick work of the traitour.

Her pirating years concluded, and when she retired from piracy, she vanished to France.

Taika reappeared and enrolled into a private boarding school in Paris, France in 1852. There she gained the education she’d been mostly without the eighty-nine years prior. She graduated her school in 1856, and earned the title Madame Tempest. She became a Lady of the highest respect as well as a very affluent member of society. She kept to herself in a large manor on private land, leaving only to hunt or tend to personal matters. Her treasures and belongings from her time overseas were stored within the house, although the Little Misfortune itself was absent. It was rumored it was sunk in battle in 1859, but not even Taika knew if there was truth to it.

Madame Tempest is resident in France for many a year, and with enough time, she becomes a legend. Her manor always seems empty, as no parties were thrown as they had been when she first purchased the house, but people were seen entering the home every now and then, not that they ever left. Taika gave over the ownership to her home to some vampires she had gained trust in in 1892, and set sail for the New World. Taika does not return to France until the late 1930s.

Taika makes her home in New Mexico in 1893, as the journey to the New World was decently short and she removed any unwanted persons from her way. Hunting was scarce, but vampires and werewolves made they home in America quicker than ever. Returning to her past nature of adventure seeking, Taika becomes a well known delinquent as well as a curiousity. In this day and age, seeing a woman weidling a gun let alone shooting people was unheard of. And yet Taika fit the profile boldly.

It was a chilly night on March 12, 1901, that Taika met her best friend and sister. The sun had just set, and the nightlife, supernatural and human alike, was lively. Music and laughter filled the tavern, and the town prostitutes were making their rounds. Taika had downed far more drinks than the man across from her, despite the acidic taste it left behind on her tongue. He was drunker than a skunk, and when he rose to his feet in an attempt to lunge at her, he collapsed instantly. The tavern reeked of dirt, sweat, and alcohol, and that combined with the acid in her stomach enough to give her the excuse to take a breather outside. The second she stepped foot outside, she smelled it. Blood. Her own? She checked herself, sure she would’ve noticed if someone had done her dirty on her way out of the tavern, but she was without injury. She followed it instead. Between the tavern and the horse stables was an alley that was always a sure fire path for someone to get shanked along, so that was where she crept. Five vampires were cackling and lunging at someone pressed against the stable wall, and from what Taika could see the person they were attacking wasn’t doing a good job at fighting back. Taika had half the mind to leave, but remembering she came down that way to see what smelled like her gave her a new purpose. She tackled the two closest to her, beheading them with ease. The person they’d been attacking took the moment as an opportunity and kicked the legs out from underneath two of the remaining three vampires. Taika killed them just as fast. Her eyes landed casually on the person she’d just saved, as though they hadn’t just made a team effort to behead a minor coven of vampires. The girl Taika had just saved look back at her with purple eyes identical to Taika’s. “You’re like me,” she breathed in awe, a childishly giddy smile breaking across her face. Taika held her hand out to shake, and th girl greeted it with her own. “I’m Raspberry Daytonell. I’ve never seen you around her.” Taika chuckled lightly. “I’m Taika. I’ve been around a long time.” Raspberry caught on to the emphasis. From that day forth, they were inseparable.

As America grew more popular, Taika and Raspberry moved to the bigger known parts of America: better hunting and better crowds. The two caltas found their new residence in Long Island, New York in 1919.

Raspberry and Taika were the heart of every party, even when they never hosted a party at their own magnificent manor. Their names were whispered in the small talk of big parties, and their faces were known to the biggest of guests. Parties became their new hunting ground—loud music, nameless faces, crowds in every direction. They were the queens of the party society, respected by all and envied by women. Husbands were questioned for their loyalty the second they laid eyes on the duo.
