So hi it's Kim and I have Kenzi (kleptofaeniac) in the game and she's generally a nuisance. I've been picking my brain trying to come up with someone I could app in who wouldn't interact with her and voila - Mary!
Canon background: So the general idea of this book is that the good guys in Dracula did not win. Mina Harker became the bride of Dracula and everyone went on living their lives (except Mr. Harker, who died. A lot)
In Mary's canon, the year is 1916 and she is a nurse in a VA hospital tending to soldiers who are recovering from loss of limb and generally any injury horrifying enough to send them back home. She's the hardworking only daughter of Dr. John Seward, who was friends with the late Van Hellsing. Indeed he was the doctor who preformed the examination on Mina Harker's friend Lucy while she was in the throes of the vampire Dracula.
So, I'm realizing that I could literally type this entire book plot point by plot point so I'll just hit the big important ones for the sake of keeping this short. Ish.
- Mary gets engaged to a guy named John Shaw. She's best friends with his sister Lily. Lily is engaged to a guy named Quincey Harker. Everything is happy.
- Turns out Quincey Harker is Dracula and Mina's son and wants Lily to be his vampire bride. Cliched, right? Also it turns out that John Shaw is his half brother. Gross? Sure.
- Lily goes to Dracula HQ to get married to Quincey. Mary and John rush off to stop it because NO BAD. Lily commits suicide mere hours before her wedding after learning what her fiance is. Said fiance is crushed, genuinely, by her death.
- Mary saves a baby girl from being vampire chow. John is turned by his mother and is now a vampire mofo and SUPER evil. Mary is heartbroken and runs. Quincey leaves too. Everyone is sad.
AND THAT'S JUST BOOK 1 JESUS. (only one more i swear)
- Mary is super paranoid and thinks vampires be everywhere. (she's right but shush) She meets this guy who is genuinely really nice to her and is in no way suspicious. His name is Lord Bathory. Shut up.
- Quincey turns up what a surprise. Oh wait he wants to be a good vampire? How do you even do that. Mary is conflicted when he asks for her help to 'fight his urges'. I smell UST.
- Dad dies. So sad. Killed by vampires.
- John is evil and it turns out Lord Bathory and Mary's BEST FRIEND are both vampires who have been tasked with bringing Mary to him dun dun dun
- Quincey saves her! omfg so romantic. The end
AU background:
So, by translating this into modern day, Mary was a nurse working with vets who were likewise horribly injured. Everything else is basically the same. I'm taking her after book 2 and she will be a regular human who is also sort of accidentally a hunter. She's trying to track down John so she and her creepy vampire boyfriend can not be stalked by him.
She tries to keep the vampire boyfriend thing a secret.
Plans: I'd like for her to be basically providing home care services to supernatural folks who cannot go to hospitals. If possible I'd also love for her to be the nurse who worked for the doctor who was injecting his patients with vampire blood because it fits so nice.
For her to train with the whole killing of vampires, while also being an ally to vampires. It's very mixed up.
Potential CR: - Mentor figure. For vampire hunting.
