The Antoniou name is infamous among humans for their role in countless massacres throughout history.

However, after his father's death, his mother remarried Count Voss, father of Cressida Voss.

Calixto looked up to his father very deeply and took pride in his royal lineage, therefore his father's death as well as the bloodline is a sensitive topic for him—the only remaining memory being the heirloom that his father left, the silver ring.

Despite this, he is not entirely void of emotion—though he buries anything that could be considered "weakness."—his care for his sister, regardless of their petty arguments, can be caught every once in a while when truly observant.

He doesn't allow himself to form attachments, believing them to be liabilities. But something about Y/N irritates him—her defiance, her existence. And for the first time, the game doesn't feel so predictable.

APPEARANCE: Strong build with broad shoulders and aristocratic features. Pale skin, very light blonde hair with a slight wave, piercing golden eyes that glow under certain lights. Always wears his family's signet ring.

Silas grew up around violence, betrayal, and power plays.

He was raised knowing that survival meant being the smartest in the room—resulting in his academic competitiveness.

He learned how to kill before he learned how to read, and by the time he was a teenager (in vampire years), he had already taken lives.

He is hard on himself and believes that true power comes from wins rather than titles.

There are whispers that he used to be an executioner—or more modernly called, an assassin—for the underground business run my his bloodline before he was sent to Diagon Prep, now attending Auragon Academy.

If he's here, it's because he chose to be—and also because other both external and internal power which allow him. That's what makes him dangerous.

He doesn't talk much, but when he does, people listen. There's something about the way he speaks—low, deliberate, almost lazy—but carrying the weight of unspoken threats. He enjoys toying with people, watching them squirm under his gaze.

Unlike Calixto, he doesn't view humans as beneath him—just as tools to be used when necessary.

However, Y/N catches his interest because she refuses to play by the expected rules, and pushes the limits to compete against him, almost like he sees her as a "worthy component".

He finds her reaction to them amusing, and that alone is enough reason for him to keep pushing.

APPEARANCE:Tall and lean, with a slouch that makes him appear lazier than he actually is. Dark brown hair, sharp jawline, piercing grey eyes that always seem to be amused or bored. Always put together and clothes never not neatly worn.

But their history is far from noble. Their research was built on the suffering of countless humans used as test subjects, treated as nothing more than disposable materials for experimentation.

Even after synthetic blood became mainstream, their methods remained in question.

Some say they might even be continuing their experiments in secret.

Azul was raised to be emotionless—logical, precise, and detached.

His family values intelligence above all else, and he was expected to surpass even his predecessors in their scientific pursuits.

But Azul has always been different. He does not just observe—he calculates.

And unlike his family, he understands that emotions are a tool to be studied, not ignored.

He does not waste energy on anger or arrogance. He simply acts. If something needs to be done, he does it without hesitation. He does not take pleasure in cruelty like the others, but he also does not shy away from it. If someone gets in his way, they are removed. Simple as that.

Y/N is... an anomaly. One he does not quite understand. He is used to humans fearing him, but she challenges him instead. And for a mind like Azul's, an anomaly is something that must be studied.

APPEARANCE:Smaller build compared to the rest, but that should not be used to misjudge his agility. Platinum blond hair (aka silver hair), icy blue eyes, sharp and almost inhumanly symmetrical features. His face is always unreadable, like a statue carved from ice.

Adrian was raised in this world, surrounded by cold calculations and twisted experiments which his people labelled as revenge.

But unlike his family, he does not participate—he simply observes.

He understands people in a way that is unsettling, knowing exactly what makes them tick, what makes them break.

He does not kill with his hands like the others—he destroys people in different ways.

There is something else, though. Something unspoken about Adrian that even the other vampires seem to keep their distance from.

He is different, not in a way that can be pinpointed, but in the way he carries himself.

The way his presence commands attention, possibly the noticeablelarge size and darkness among the pale.

The way he seems almost... too aware of his surroundings, always watching, always waiting.

He does not raise his voice, nor does he resort to physical violence often. He does not need to. His words alone are enough to tear someone apart. He enjoys watching people unravel, pushing them little by little until they snap.

And Y/N? She is an interesting case. Because no matter how much he pushes, she does not break. And that is something Adrian cannot ignore.

APPEARANCE:Tall. Very tall—and well built. Messy black hair, sharp features, dark eyes that seem to see right through people. He carries himself with an air of quiet authority, his posture always controlled.

A: " In a way yes and no. She has grown up with Calixto since they were 80, which is basically almost 3 decades growing up together,forming a clear sibling bond.

With the other boys, she interacted as Calix's sister and a classmate at Diagon Prep, but physical proximity doesn't equal emotional closeness.

She mostly gets along with Silas. Although they don't interact much, he does supply most of the blood and meat for the group, and through requestsfrom Cress, to Calix, to Silas, he's ended up supplying her as well."
