Realized not for the first time that the characters from my old story will always be haunting my mind. Thought I'd share them with you all.

Taiyoru Gendou: Typical horny Japanese teenage boy. Friendy, sociable, and quick-tempered. Well-known and well-liked in his tiny village by all. Family owns a dojo and has a martial arts background dating back several generations.

Mac Tait: Foreign exchange student from New York and Taiyoru's best friend. He stays with the Gendou's while Tai's little brother Hideki, also a participate in the foreign exchange program, is living in New York for the school year. Smart and impossibly good-looking, but also sarcastic, sharp-tongued, and particularly cold to the many girls who like him. This is because he thinks the only reason they like him is because of his looks and therefore feels devalued and objectified. Their admiration is also a reminder of his beuaty which is a reminder of his mother, of whom he is the spitting image. He hates and loves his mother at the same time. When he was five years old, she abandoned him and his father to pursue a modeling career and never looked back.

Rei Xiung: Chinese, Catholic exorcist. A couple years older than Taiyoru and Mac and therefore somewhat more mature. Polite, compassionate,sweet-tempered neatfreak, natural cook--essentially, the perfect house husband. Was exiled from his village after being framed for mass murder. Was told by a mystic to seek out a boy by the name of Taiyoru Gendou in Japan and give him a meassage. Lives with Kyoto.

Kyoto Nabokov: Sylvian Vampire (i.e., instead of fangs, she has long, razor sharp blades that come out of her knuckles--sort of like those of Wolverine from X-men, but longer.) Around 20 years old. Has only been a vamp for 3 years. Her boyfriend, a Sylvian vamp, turned her when a vicious enemy coven hell-bent on killing him, discovered where he was and came after him. He was scared that they would kill Kyoko too and he knew he couldn't take all of them on by himself, so he turned her to save her. He died in the fray. Her adoptive parents had long been dead and her foster family treated her like a second hand citizen, so she left home and began to wander the earth as a vampire mercenary, doing everything from private insvestigating to assassinations to rescue missions. She only feeds on the blood of the wicked and corrupt, and even then only very seldom, so as a result she is anorexically skinny. Eventually, she came to Japan, where she took up residence in a desserted mansion on the outskirts of Okinawa that was believed to be haunted and was therefore untouched.

I realize I'm rambling at this point, but she's my absolute favorite of the bunch, so bear with me.

She is, throughout the majority of the story, sullen, cold, and severe--constantly tormented by flashbacks of her boyfriend being torn to pieces before her very eyes and how much she misses him. She's probably the most tragic and complex character of the story. My attempt at a badass anti-hero. :P

Obviously, all the characters' back stories are not readily apparent to each other when they meet, so there's a lot they don't understand about each other. Taiyoru constantly gets on Mac's back for being such a douche to all of his admirers.Taiyoru and Kyoto are constantly at each other's throats because she rebuffs any attempt at conversation and is esseentially a total bitch to him because he reminds her so much of her dead boyfriend, which is incredibly painful to think about for her and he just thinks she's doing it to be a bitch so... Yeah.

Sorry. I've just been keeping them all to myself for so long and they just needed to go out and play somewhere. I'd summarize the plot of the story for you, but it would take all night to explain. Suffice it to say that the main characters are members of a team compeating in a supernatual mixed martial arts tournament and the fate of the world hangs in the balance.

Gonna go back to my nostalgia now...
