Esme Divinorum



“''This isn't a good place. It feels like death.”''

“''I didn't ask for this, you know. This...stasis.”''

“''My concentration unbreakable, my clarity unquestionable, my friends unstoppable. You dare not challenge us.”''

Esme was – is – a prodigy. From a young age, she excelled at all of the arts. Her attention waned whenever she waned if she was put before anything academic, but with a brush, an instrument or a lit stage, she could perform miracles. She was given scholarships to the best schools, all of them eager to take credit for the marvellous Esme Divinorum.

Her talent was such that she attracted the attention of a Mekhet of the Ordo Dracul. So greatly did he admire her ability, he was afraid of her mortality, of losing her forever. After many weeks of watching her in her home, he gave her the Embrace.

Esme did not take kindly to her death. She resented her sire for taking the mortal world away from her forever, stopping her from sharing the resonance of her soul with the rest of the world. She was especially uninterested in the musty spirituality of the Order. When she first got the opportunity, she ran from her sire, wandering the city until she met the coterie of Warehouse Six.

Esme continues practising the arts, revelling in the new spectrum of senses that her Embrace has given her. The enhanced perception of the Mekhet makes her an invaluable addition to her coterie. But she is aware that she can be better; indeed, she thirsts for more to be revealed to her. She feels that she's getting closer to seeing the fundamental truth of the universe every day.

However, Esme's Requiem hasn't been easy. She's been unable to set up her own haven, secure a steady flow of money for her projects and has been severely limited in the aid she receives from her contacts. This is because since she ran away, her sire has been actively sabotaging her unlife, hoping that she'll give up and return to him. Esme has only recently discovered this.
