| d6 | The Bite |
|---|---|
| 1 | Turned back from the brink of death, your creator took mercy on your crumpled form and passed to you the curse of immortality. |
| 2 | Your past is foggy to you, now having lived countless centuries as a blood-starved beast of the night. |
| 3 | Accepted within the company of an ancient organization, your initiation involved the contraction of the curse that has laid waste to your veins for as long as you can remember. |
| 4 | You were chosen at random by a vile beast, who crept into your room by cover of night and drained you almost entirely of your blood. Since, without master or mentor you have been forced to learn through trial and error, and forge your own path. |
| 5 | You were transformed by the curse at an unfortunately young age, bearing the visage and often the mindset of a child to this very day. |
| 6 | Your desire for unbridled power has led you into less than savory circumstances before, though none quite so permanent as this. You sought out, turned by and trained under a master of this wretched curse. |

Those who lay eyes upon your unearthly beauty find themselves in an odd position between frightened and charmed. People will have a difficult time trusting you, though once on your side will have an even more difficult time disobeying. They seem more alive than vampires do.
