Austin Spencer || Vampire || 341 || FC: David Boreanaz || Taken
Biography: (bullet-points are to be expanded upon by player during application.)
Austin Spencer, along with his twin sister, were born and raised in Charleston, Massachusetts on April 10th, 1672 well before the eruption of the Salem Witch Trials (1692) that would later tear his family apart.
As a young boy Austin was curious, playful, and insightful but terrified of the magic his parents could preform and was almost nearly shunned by them once they discovered his sister had become a familiar at the age of six.
From that moment on he resented Andrea, choosing to distance himself from his sister rather than hope that one day his powers would kick in and together they could be everything their parents had wanted.
As they grew older the riff between them only got worst. Andrea would use Austin as a guinea pig of sorts when it came to practicing her magic, often saving the more dangerous, more painful spells for when he made the mistake of angering her.
While Austin couldn’t fight back with magic (at least not then) he did posses a useful trump card. His parents cellar was full of books and the ingredients he needed to come up with a weapon of his own in hopes of disarming his sister. The spell was dangerous, especially since he had very little magic in his blood, but to him the risks were worth it.
After months of testing the spell upon himself Austin believed that it was finally ready to use and would only need to wait for the right moment.That moment wouldn’t come for another five years when he was 20 years old.
For whatever reason on the night of the founders day party Andrea was particularly heavy handed with her magic. She’d use it, in public, to torment her brother every chance she got: making him spill a drink or two on himself or his date, forcing him to trip and fall, causing outburst etc etc.
After drawing his sister well away from the party he waited for her to attack him again before releasing his potion onto her. The vial caused copious amounts of sores to form on her body every time she tried to abuse him with her magic. And although he was still in pain from her earlier attack Austin laughed hysterically at his sister.
Minutes later his parents, unaware that they were being followed, tracked down their kids and enraged at what Austin had done to his sister both attacked him, nearly rendering him unconscious with their bombardment. Once they had subdued their son they rushed the other twin back home to be taken care of.
Moments later Austin date rushed out of the shadows from where she had been watching the ordeal and offered to take him home with her. By morning things would have spiraled out of control. The girl had informed her father of what she saw the night before and now their was literally a witch hunt on for Austin’s now missing family.
It would be another year before the Spencer’s were found and brought to Salem to be placed on trail for their actions at the founders day party, but by then Austin was long gone. The now only surviving member of the Spencer family had moved away shortly after they had disappeared.
Having very little money to his name meant that he wasn’t worth much to anyone and therefore not fully welcomed in any one place he stopped. Being a nomad had it’s pros and cons. The pros were that he wasn’t tied down by material possessions or people, but the cons were that he wasn’t safe. The later became evident the night he was attacked by a vampire and left for dead.
The only reason he didn’t die was because the Taylor’s pack happened to be roaming those woods in preparation for the nights full moon. Feeling indebted to them for their kindness in trying to save him, Austin stayed with them for years, befriending the Alpha’s son Jason.
Nearly two years later he remained with the pack, staying long enough to welcome the second vampire into their ranks. Kara, a woman he was forced to turn because she was his best friends mate. While the pair seemingly couldn’t stand each other before her turning, afterwards they were bound together for life by blood. The event placed a strain on the relationship between the three of them because both males were basically bound to the same woman for different reasons.
Eventually the tension grew to strong for Austin and he left the pack, choosing to roam on his own for a while before he stumbled across a small town in the woods.
Upon first appearances Austin has a devil-may-care attitude about most things, choosing to be rather laid back about the things that surround him. But in actually it he’s more tense and retentive than he lets on. For obvious reasons he has a hard time trusting people and therefore rarely lets anyone in, but once he does those people are usually close to him for life.
Kara Hyde-Taylor: Austin sired Kara to save her from dying after she was attacked. Their relationship has been somewhat strained and awkward since he turned her because of the bond they now shared and Kara was married to his best friend.
Caleb Hyde-Taylor: Caleb’s godfather, helped raised him when Jason was too busy with pack business. Knowing the werewolf he’s likely still pissed that Austin was no where to be found the night the hunters attacked their compound.
