Jaydin Byrd

Generally pretty well mannered enough, carefree, and adventurous, Jaydin typically likes keeping to her own agenda with her own people. She grew up on a Robin Hood type lifestyle in a household that consisted of rogues that used the manor as a base. With this Robin Hood type teaching and way of life, Jaydin took to seeing the Dawnstar as a mortal enemy to her family and many other less fortunate and lower class people.

When out in the field, Jaydin has no problem using her abilities to her advantage to distract and confuse enemies. She is very sexual in her dances, typically showing a lot of skin and dancing rather provocatively as to incite some sort of compliance from her targets. Much of Jaydin's tactics as a rogue utilise her Masquerade abilities to create the illusions of desire for others.

However, despite this... they are all teachings that Jaydin personally chose and took on. She does not typically act upon sexual actions that are desired by targets for information or to steal certain information from. This is where training from her Shadowed branch of the Black Crowns come in. Jaydin favours the Noxious Kiss... which can either kill an enemy or put them to sleep, depending what balm she coats her lips with.

In Jaydin's time growing up, she has made friends with a lot of the younger people that started coming to the manor to become a Black Crown. Since hers and her brother's father is Eozel, one of the triad for the Evean branch of Black Crowns, Jaydin has been with them literally since she could remember.

When with those friends, or family (as she calls them), Jaydin is a lot more comfortable and open around those that she has taken to. She enjoys her time with them and will give more of herself to them, making time and going out of her way to ensure their safety. However... it seems that no one holds a candle to Myrddin, who Jaydin gives even more of herself to, and devotes much more dedication and love to.

Having started off the youngest of five children, the other four all being boys, Jaydin learned to adapt and became very hardy at a young age. She also learned to be more humble than most, especially because her family had to settle for giving her mostly hand-me-downs, and all of those were typically too big for poor Jaydin. Any time Jaydin actually got new clothes or items in general was a treat.

Now that she is older, Jaydin has become wiser from her journeys, trials, and tribulations. She has encountered a lot of hardship, and has grown a disdain for Team Rocket after she learned that her eldest brother was a part of it and Team Rocket managed to cause Jaydin herself some strife.

From those trials and tribulations, as well as training to become a better channeller after having her Gengar, Trépas, possess her for the first time, Jaydin has also learned to keep most of her emotions under wraps. She is actually quite afraid of her emotions getting the best of her when dealing with stressful or angering situations... especially since she has grown into quite a well seasoned channeller that has powerful spiritual abilities.

For now, Jaydin has busied herself with being the chief financial officer of her husband's company, Avalon. She has also busied herself with being as devoted a mother as she can be between working and keeping the company's finances in order, as well as being a person in general. Still quiet, she does appear and sound tired more times than not.

Loud and obnoxious are two ways to describe Jaydin. She is very comfortable with the tomboy presentation she puts out, and she does not shy away from breaking the norm and doing things her own way rather than how others expect her to do whatever it is. Of course... this was all before the outbreak of the infected that now run the streets.

Talented with a guitar, Jaydin takes pride in her ability to play and sing. However... now that there are zombies milling about, she has less time to pour her focus into her hobbies these days. Whenever there is a moment of quiet, she will will play some songs she remembers, and will do her best to keep her spirits up by doing it is what she loves. Playing the guitar and singing are some of the few things that help keep her sane these days.

When it concerns the team of four that she has become a part of, Jaydin has reservations about everyone. However, she does trust her party a lot more than whenever she comes across other survivors, make no mistake of that. Jaydin is definitely more taken with Myrddin than the other two members of the team, as he was the first one she met when everything started turning sour.

The driving force that keeps Jaydin fighting is the idea that she and the others can actually get somewhere that is not populated and start something new. She has hope for the future, and wishes to see the dawn of a new day without living in fear, and without having too many sleepless nights.

Quiet, disinterested, and usually a little finicky when it comes to other people, Jaydin typically does her best to stay hidden and out of sight. Despite her night job of being an aromatherapist at one of the later running spas in her area, she takes more pleasure and finds solace in doing that for others as she does not often have to talk much, and simply instructs people to meditate, or at least ease themselves into the scents.

As a vampire, Jaydin is very picky about what she eats, and she is vehement in her want to not cause harm to humans, or most anything else that lives and breathes. She purchases dried pig's blood from the stores that require her to add water and drinks it. Though... to make it seem less awkward at the shopping centre, Jaydin typically buys a lot of other food, soon donating them to food bins or the less fortunate she knows instead of letting them go to waste.

For the most part, Jaydin wants to put out the effort of 'doing the right thing'. The only problem with this, however, is the fact that... well, Jaydin does not even really know what the 'right thing' really even is at this point. Since having become a vampire, she has entered a state of existential confusion. She is immortal, for the most part, and she still has a sense of self-preservation, which means her having to be on the defensive more times than not if there are people that actually find out what she is.

Unfortunately, because of the skewed perceptions that Jaydin has gained due to her several decades of being a vampire already, she has a hard time relating completely to humans. While she is brilliant at fitting in and adapting, because she has a longer lifespan and has experienced a lot in her time, her emotional capacity has decreased and she has started to become a little less empathetic toward people's emotions overall. While she does not typically wish to physically harm them, she just does not tend to understand certain emotions nor why some people get caught up in certain emotional pains.
