Voinitsi na Renesansa

Sabbat -- Montreal

File:Revolutionary Flag.gif

Background

The Voĭnitsi na Renesansa has an impressive, if entirely fictional pedigree. They were founded by a group of Bulgarian nationalist Sabbat, who fought Turkish, Russian and pan-Slavic would-be masters along with the Camarilla kingmakers behind the scenes. Over the years, they have participated in the occasional siege and war party, but largely pursued their own nationalist goals. In recent decades, with the passing of the last founding member, the pack has drifted away from its founding ideals, though it still celebrates its own rituals on important Bulgarian dates. Most recently, the pack lost both its Ductus and last remaining Bulgarian Nationalist while doing a favor for the powers that be: Werewolves in Gabrovo chased the two survivors into the ruined castle of the Tzimisce Marius Ignacius, but for some reason refused to follow them inside. Once inside, they found and awakened the Tzimisce and his childe. Lured by tales of the Litany, they decided to follow Marius to Montreal, while considering him as a prospective member of their pack.

Lair

The Voĭnitsi are considering an abandoned porcelain factory on the north bank of the river as a temporary haven in Montreal. Marius has taken an estate further north and outside the city proper as his personal manse.

Rites and Practices

The Voinitsi celebrate the Remembrance on June 9 each year. This tradition stems from the bloody end of an abortive 1876 Bulgarian revolt against Ottoman rule. The the solemn ritual involves a remembrance of each fallen member of the pack, usually through lore handed down by word of mouth, generation to generation.

On September 22, the pack celebrates the independence of Bulgaria with a celebration of unlife. Members test themselves and their unlives, preferably in new ways. Usually this is a dangerous game, but other interpretations are possible.

Members

Angel Marahov

Sobriquet: New Pack Leader

Appearance: The most striking thing about Angel is his collection of prison tattoos - commemorations of accomplishments and events from another lifetime. The look is accentuated with biker leathers, blue-jean finger gloves, and combat boots. Beneath the tattoos, Angel is stringy and wiry, the muscles and veins stand out from his undersized frame, a legacy of a decade of systematic undernourishment at the hands of the Bulgarian communist regime. Some days before his embrace, Angel was clean shaven: He now sports a millimeter of stubble.

Background: Born in 1965, Angel spent his life on the wrong side of the law behind the iron curtain. Shortly after his 22nd birthday, he was caught, and remained forgotten in prison for more than a decade. In 1989, with the fall of the iron curtain and Bulgaria's regime, several of the inmates broke out of the un-funded, poorly staffed prison. Little did they know that they were abetted by the Sabbat looking for recruits.

Mai Akiyama

Sobriquet: Dragon Girl / Jeido

Appearance: Mai stands 1.75 meters tall (5ft-9inches) and weighs 54 kilos (120 pounds). She has long black, glossy hair that hangs to her shoulders. Though fair complected, she tans easily and has an athletic figure. Her face is both oval and angular, which gives her a particularly exotic look and hints at her mixed ancestry. The focal point of her appearance are her jade green eyes, which give her a particularly mysterious allure and attracts men and women of all ethnicities. She looks good regardless of what she is or isn't wearing. She is blessed by both physical beauty and personal grace.

Background: The only real information on Mai comes from official Bulgarian records. Bulgaria has issued her both a student passport and work visa; her passport and visa status is unusual in that it has a ten year duration, which is usually issued only to diplomatic envoys. Official copies of her passport state that she is a native of Tokyo - Japan. It lists an address in Western Tokyo and identifies her parents as next of kin. She has received all necessary vaccinations and has no health conditions.

Her transcripts from the University of Tokyo are exemplary and place her in the top one percent of her graduating class. She graduated with a degree in cultural anthropology and a minor political science. She applied to the University of Sofia in 2013 as a graduate student seeking a degree in Eastern European studies. While she attended classes, she was ranked as an honor student and received several written commendations from her instructors.

She attended the University of Sofia for two years and then suddenly stopped going to classes; her status as a student is inactive, but still valid. She moved from Studentski Grad to an upscale building in the Vazrazhdane district, but hasn't returned to her apartment there for several days. She pays taxes as a student, but her professional classification is entertainer. She regularly claims substantial gratuities upon which she is taxed heavily, but she is not in arrears.

Mai has not returned to her apartment in Sofia since Kamiko's death and spent the next three months at Hesperus House - the exclusive residence of Stavros Astraeus in the small town of Kostinbrod, which is located 15 km west of the capital city of Sofia, but within the valley of Sofia.

Personality: It is apparent from mystical surveillance that she is an experienced lover and possibly submissive. At the moment, there isn't much else to indicate what her personality is like.

Current Events: In March of 2016 she arrived at Gabrovo Grad in the company of the Setite Chivato Nadir. The two rode horses to the Castle of Varvara and introduced themselves to the Voivode of Gabrovo. When Mai introduced herself, she presented her hand to be kissed and the Prince obliged her - immediately thereafter she collapsed into some sort of seizure and was taken to a suit in the castle to recover.
