A “half-breed” whose mother was attacked by vampires while pregnant w/him, Blade is himself halfhuman, half-vampire, and forced to drink a special serum on a daily basis to control his raging thrist. Blade has all the vampires’ strengths and none of their weaknesses — which is why he is so feared and hated by his nemeses.

[CHRISTA STARR] (CAUCASIAN, FEMALE MID 20s) She’s a doctor & former military medic who has recently been discharged from active service. Drained by her combat traumas, Christa is trying to re-enter normal civilian life when she gets word that her fraternal twin brother, Zack, has been killed under mysterious circumstances. Unable to get any satisfaction from the police, Christa decides to investigate Zack’s death herself.

[MARCUS VAN SCIVER] (CAUCASIAN, MALE, 25 TO 40) He’s a charismatic, dapper, sexy, aristocratic vampire with pale skin, piercing eyes and an unslaked hunger for power — and blood. First turned into a vampire back in the days of the American colonies, Marcus looks down on humans as little more than cattle — but we sense that he may have a hidden longing for his lost human existence. A wealthy developer and a pillar of the community, Marcus hangs with the city’s elite, but his real power stems from his ties to the age-old House of Chthon, venerable vampire rulers. Impressed by Christa’s bravery and tenacity, Marcus “turns” her and recruits her for his vampire “family”…SERIES REGULAR PLEASE SUBMIT NAME ACTORS ONLY

He helps perfect new technologies for Blade to use in his battles, and his mere presence helps the driven Blade achieve at least a measure of inner peace…SERIES REGULAR
[CHASE] (FEMALE, EARLY TO MID 20s, ANY ETHNICITY) Marcus’s most loyal and efficient follower, she’s a gorgeous vampire who appears to be in her early 20s, although her hungry eyes tell a different story.

Later, after Christa is herself turned into a vampire, Chase takes her on a tour of the vampires’ world & gives her a sweeping overview of the vampires’ tumultuous history…SERIES REGULAR
