Personal Style

--- >> For the most part, Sastre is all business, wearing only those clothes that are functional and practical on a hunt. She doesn’t wear anything tight-fitting, or anything that will impede her movement, preferring slightly baggy pants and tops when on a job. When she isn’t hunting, she still retains much of this style, and she almost always wears long sleeved shirts and pants, not wanting to show any more skin than she has to. Sastre keeps her hair long, but when hunting she usually pulls it back into a tight ponytail to keep it from getting in her way.

The Big Ones*

[/font]
Personality

--- >> Sastre Quicksilver is an honest, fearless, and confident young woman. She’s comfortable spending time alone, or with the handful of loved ones that she has, though she also enjoys going out and having a good time when she can be persuaded to take a break from hunting for a while. She’s a fairly clean-liver: she doesn’t smoke or do any sort of drugs, she drinks only occasionally and never more than a single beer or two, and she tends to eat very healthy. She enjoys music, both listening to it and playing it on her guitar, and she can devour whole books in a single night if she’s really in the mood. She also enjoys her quiet times of meditation and self-reflection, and she starts her days this way before moving on to her daily exercise routine. No matter what else, Sastre likes to make sure she’s always at the top of her game, physically and mentally.

History

--- >> Born to Sastre Quicksilver and his lover Solphi, Lily was given up by the two hunters so that she wouldn’t have to be drawn into the hunter lifestyle. They gave her to a couple that had long been close friends of theirs, now retired hunters who had been trying for a child unsuccessfully for sometime.

Lily was raised by Cynthia and Morris Faraday, residents of northern Michigan. She was always an only child, and as such was spoiled terribly, for the Faraday’s were quite well off, though where they got their money was always a mystery to Lily, for neither of her parents ever seemed to really have a job.

Her life was completely normal: she made friends, went to school, watched movies and played video games, all normal kid-stuff. As she got older, though, she became more and more aware of how strange it seemed that her family seemed so well off, though no one seemed to ever have a real job. Also, the fact that she seemed to have no other family at all began to bother her: no cousins, aunts or uncles, not even grand-parents. Still, she was happy nonetheless, and tried not to question her parents too much about it.

One night, though, when Lily was 16, she overheard her parents arguing about whether or not they should tell Lily that she wasn’t really their daughter. Morris thought that the girl deserved to know, but Cynthia was against it, claiming that a mysterious “they” had made the Faradays swear an oath of secrecy. Morris tried to convince his wife that since “they” were their friends, they would understand; Lily deserved to know who her real parents were…

Rather than approach them about this, Lily kept the knowledge to herself, surprised at how calm she felt about the whole situation. She really didn’t care if the Faraday’s weren’t her real parents: they loved her, and had cared for her all of these years. That was enough for Lily. But, as the days went by, she found herself becoming more and more curious, and one night she decided to head out alone to the library to do a little bit of preliminary research. After browsing the internet for hours to no avail, Lily decided to give it up for the night and head home.

When she arrived at the house, though, she immediately knew that something was wrong. The front door was torn from its hinges and lay several feet inside, little more than a pile of splintered wood. Fear for her parents drove the girl to rush into the house, where she discovered a similar amount of destruction pretty much everywhere: glass lamps and ornaments shattered, tables and cabinets smashed beyond recognition, and worse. In the living room she found her parents lying in pools of their own blood, their bodies covered with horrendous, slash-like wounds. Her mother was already dead, but her father was still gasping for breath when she approached. As she knelt down beside him, her body trembling uncontrollably and tears running down her face, Morris Faraday spoke his last words to her before drowning in his own blood:

“Find Sastre Quicksilver…”

As she broke down and wept uncontrollably, a man burst into the room, aiming a shotgun at her. At first, she thought he was the one who had killed her parents, and she leapt to her feet to attack him. He restrained her, though, and told her that he was an old friend of her folks. His name was Thomas Carlisle, and her father had called him hours earlier, panicking and claiming he needed help. Thomas had arrived as soon as possible, but it was obviously too late…

Taking the girl under his wing, as she had no other family, Thomas told her all about the truth of what was really out there: that demons, vampires, ghosts, and all manner of supernatural beasts were real, and that he and people like him hunted them. What's more, her parents were former hunters themselves, and though they'd stopped hunting years before she was born, they still made their living the "old fashioned way." He was her first teacher, and he tried his best to help her discover the identity of what had killed her parents, though neither of them ever managed to learn anything that would help them identify it. Lily asked Thomas who Sastre Quicksilver was, saying that her father had instructed her to find him, but all Thomas knew was that he was a hunter, and a hard man to pin down.

Thomas Carlisle, though, turned out to be a very disturbed, sick individual. He treated the young Lily like his personal sex slave, beating and degrading her, almost to death on more than one occasion. A few months after being “rescued” by Carlisle, Lily found out she was pregnant, and she kept it from the man for as long as possible. By the time he found out, Lily was able to convince him to let her keep the baby, and he begrudgingly allowed it. Lily gave birth to a little girl that she named Allison, and though she was allowed to keep her for the first couple of months, eventually Carlisle tired of having the baby around, and he took her away against Lily’s wishes. When he came back, he told Lily that the baby was dead, though in reality he had dropped the little girl off anonymously at a hospital, knowing he could use her as black mail against Lily in the future, if need be.

Carlisle wasn’t counting on the affect that this deception would have on Lily though, and shortly after he’d gotten rid of Allison, Lily murdered him in cold blood. After that, Lily was on her own, and she searched for years for Sastre Quicksilver, killing anything she came across along the way and making a living the way Thomas had taught her: gambling, hustling, and scamming.

Finally, after years of searching, Lily found Sastre Quicksilver, and received the shock of her life when she learned he was her real father. The two got off to a very rocky beginning, but eventually they became very close, with Lily even discovering the secret behind what the “Sastre Quicksilver” tradition really was. Lily also met a young woman named Brennan, and eventually the pair fell in love, and even got married in a sort of spur of the moment decision.

When Darian struck, though, and Lily was captured along with Sastre’s lover Madison, everything went to hell. Lily was sent away with a group of Darian’s henchmen to be the vampire’s back up plan: just as Sastre was about to kill Darian, the vampire told him that Lily was being held elsewhere, and that she’d be killed if Darian didn’t make the call to spare her life. He gave Sastre two months to find the girl, before he had her killed.

In that time, Lily was brutally beaten, raped, and worse by the men who guarded her. At the brink of death, she was finally saved by her father just before the two months were up. Knowing an old Indian medicine woman who lived on a reservation in New Mexico, Sastre took her there and had her healed, though barely. And even though the physical damage was mostly healed, the mental and emotional damage would take much longer.

During their time in the desert, Lily told Sastre that she wanted to be the next to take on the “Sastre Quicksilver” name, so that he could move on and live the rest of his life in peace with Madison. It took some convincing, but eventually Sastre agreed, and the training began. In their seclusion, the two hunters had no way of communicating with the outside world, other than being able to occasionally get a letter sent out. Initially, a letter was sent to Madison and Brennan telling them that Lily was dead, as was tradition when beginning the training, but a few days later, a second letter was sent explaining the truth, and telling Brennan and Madison that they would return as soon as the training was complete. After that, Lily wrote to Brennan as often as possible, though much to her dismay, she never received any letters in response. Lily was certain that Brennan had moved on and no longer wanted her, so she devoted herself entirely to her training, trying to forget about Brennan and about the betrayal she felt.

Now, with the training complete and sporting the name “Sastre Quicksilver,” she’s finally returned, living the life of a full time, completely dedicated hunter. Lily-Sastre doesn’t really know what happened during the time she was gone, or why Brennan never responded to her letters, but she has pushed her sadness and hurt aside, turning her attention to the job and nothing else…
