...Michaela Radulescu is a vampire. Born into life in the Romanian town of Polesti, in 1276, to a gypsy woman and a merchant father. Born into undeath in 1294 to the Countess Irina Szekely. Her inherited gift of psychic abilities from her mother and her own natural talent as a singer were greatly amplified upon her transformation into a vampire. She currently works for an organization known as the Hades Council that tracks and captures or kills rogue supernaturals. Her prey often includes, lycanthropes, spirits, demons, zombies and other vampires.

...Michaela developed some psychic abilities from her gypsy mother and developed an exceptional vocal talent on her own. By the time she was a teenager she performed frequently for many of the wealthy nobles of the local province. One of these nobles was Countess Irina Szekely who as fate would have it turned out to be a vampire. At the age of 18 the Black Plague swept through her town and killed everyone, including her. The plague was brought to the town by a creature called a ghast. On her deathbed the Countess who had fallen in love with Michaela and her voice, offered her a deal. Agonizing death or life eternal. Needless to say she chose life eternal and was reborn a vampire under the Countess. During the course of Michaela's reawakening she in-turn developed feelings for the Countess herself. They remained lovers for many decades.

...The Countess was head of the branch of the Hades Council based in Romania and inducted Michaela into their ranks upon her rebirth. Michaela has served the Hades Council faithfully, even dispatching the ghast that killed her entire town in her first field assignment. The Countess Irina was herself killed by a lich who ambushed an entire cadre of Hades Council leadership in 1473. His use of fire magic destroyed any hope of reviving the slain Countess. This left Michaela to head the Romanian branch but because of her personal grief, she declined and turned over the branch leadership to a demon named Valthragar. After an extended mourning period, Michaela returned with a renewed vigor and purpose. She formed a special unit within the Hades Council called "Nightwish". This team of elite hunters traveled the world assisting other branches of the Hades Council when the targets proved extremely difficult to take down.

...Recently, in an assignment in the Rogue Isles, Michaela was mauled and almost killed by a powerful lycanthrope. Her team managed to extract her but she spent 6 weeks in a blood tank regenerating. Her wounds were so severe that her body had to channel much of her skills and powers into healing thus depleting them. When she finally was released she still couldn't heal the scar on her face and she had been reduced to the powers of a neophyte vampire. It would take much time and practice to regain her former powers and shape-shifting abilities.

...She is currently operating in Paragon City USA for training and recuperation with her team "Nightwish". Read the full story here.

...Real vampires don't glitter or burst into flames in the sunlight, nor do they fear crosses or silver and stakes through the heart cripple it, not kill. The real reason vampires shun the sunlight is with their enhanced sense of vision, the sun is extremely bright and painful to the eyes. Thus most vampires shun it and those you do see will generally be found wearing sunglasses during the day, possibly even at night. This is also the reason most vampires are very pale. The same goes for garlic, their enhanced sense of smell makes the pungent odor of garlic almost unbearable, however the same goes for curry and other powerful spices. Because a vampire is already dead, a stake through the heart does not kill but generally continues on through the spine severing the spinal cord. This will paralyze a vampire, leaving it vulnerable to other attacks while unable to defend itself until the stake is removed. Even the severing of a vampire's head from it's body will not permanently kill it, once the head and body are reunited the vampires powerful regenerative powers will mend the wound and return the vampire to life so-to speak, providing some fresh blood is present for the vampire to absorb. The only known way to truly and permanently destroy a vampire forever is to burn it to ashes. It is rumored however that with sufficient blood, a really powerful ashed vampire can be brought back from the dead if it has the will to do so.

...The Hades Council was formed in 205BCE by the Roman Church. The Empire was beset by supernatural enemies from all sides as the magical power that would cumulate in the birth of Jesus Christ began to reach near-critical mass. Demons, zombies, monsters, lycanthropes, vampires, fae, ghosts, ghouls and myriad other creatures threatened to destroy all that mankind had created in the 5,000 years prior. The ruling body of the Church gathered all of the sorcerers together and founded the organization as a bulwark against the forces of darkness. The sorcerers quickly discovered that they would need a wider variety of powers than their meager sorcery could provide. They decided to seek out some supernaturals who did not want to be hunted and would be willing to join and assist the Hades Council in return for absolution. This worked out very well and the Hades Council ranks swelled immensely. In the middle ages there was a bad turn brought about by the Inquisition and the Hades Council lost a lot of members to witch trials and religious zealots. The Hades Council went underground and remains there to this day, quietly, secretly helping keep the world free from rogue and evil supernatural entities.

...Nightwish is a special operations branch of The Hades Council. It's home base is Romania but travels the world assisting other branches of The Hades Council in sanctioning targets that prove exceptionally difficult. This unit is led by Michaela and is currently found in Paragon City after a failed operation in the Rogue Isles. Their base is located in an underground cemetary that is accessed via the Paragon City sewer system.

...Michaela's psychic and vocal powers were magnified 100 fold upon her rebirth as a vampire. Where before, she got vague feelings of things, now she downright knows they are going to happen well in advance. Previously, when she got very upset at someone they might get a headache and retire to their private quarters to rest, now she could focus and bring groups of men to their knees before her clutching their heads in pain. Additionally her ability to read the Tarot has become substantially more pronounced and she can do it on the fly, so-to-speak.

...Her voice in life was beautiful and serene. In undeath it has became a weapon, capable of lulling people to sleep, knocking them down, liquefying internal organs and shattering stone or anything else that gets in her way. People often comment on the commanding presence her voice has on them.

...Michaela also has the ability to use some metamorphic vampire powers, altering the very physical structure of her body. Mostly she uses this to sprout bat wings that she uses frequently both in and out of combat for flight and maneuverability. She is able to absorb the wings back into her body as needed for concealment and getting into and out of small or confined spaces as well.

...She is very adept at using modern technology such as body armor, small arms and sensory/tracking equipment. Any smart vampire has learned to utilize modern equipment to augment and protect themselves vs other beings with super powers and mundanes with knowledge and access to weapons that can cause a vampire harm.

...The simple fact that she is a vampire carries certain benefits as well, she can leap farther, and has substantially more constitution and stamina than a normal human. There is a little darkness in all vampires due to their nature as undead. This has imbued Michaela with the ability to cause unnatural fear in a target or group of enemies by simply willing it. She can also drain the life force of her enemies by simply touching or striking them.

...Over her many years Michaela, through trial, combat, experience or study, has come to learn a number of spells and other abilities that enhance her already formidable abilities. Psychic shields, enhanced control powers, protection spells and more. All of the abilities described above are represented by the powers below in-game.
