Given that I've been expanding my horizons towards the backstories of my ocs, I thought it'd be a good idea to begin posting them for all to see. To kick it off, I'll start with my first OC and her brother; Night Rain and Night Spirit (will be shortened to Night and Spirit to keep things easier).
About 540 years ago (536), Spirit was born. His father was an avian, which is a subspecies of human that came into existence when Angels and humans would have children. Angels are entirely male, so the Avians who were born would be immortal, and their wings would take after their hair colour. But instead of residing in the heavens, they lived on earth. Avian and human babies had the possibility of either being mortal or immortal, depending on the dominant genes. Their wings would take after the wing colour of the father or mother. Night Raven (their father)'s wings were black, and so Spirit was born with black wings, as was Night 4 years later. The two grew up normally until Night was 6. Sometime that year, their house was attacked while Spirit and Raven were absent. A pair of men came into the house, killed their mother (whose name I have not decided on) and then raped Night. Her father came into the house in the process, and so he was killed as well.
The men ran off, leaving Night alone among her dead parents, bleeding until Spirit came home. He immediately made sure his sister was okay, and vowed to avenge his parents. He prayed to the gods above to assist him, and it took six years before he got an answer.
Their father was a dear friend of the thunder god Thalmor, and so he waited to see if they were worthy of his help. He inevitably deemed that they were, and so appeared before them bearing his sympathies. He also revealed to them that their father had passed down genes from his father, genes that were laden with the ability to control the weather. However, they were limited to the creation of storms and nothing more. Spirit's powers were weaker than his sister's, so Thalmor provided him with a scythe made of a dark crystal that would help him channel his powers in the form of a bright purple lightning.
Night, unlike her brother, was stronger than anyone anticipated. She need only touch a cloud and it would start to brew a powerful storm. Thalmor saw both of their potentials, and decided to honour their father's death by helping them to control them better.
Once they reached maturity, around 18-20 years old, they stopped growing. Their fathers genes were more dominant, so they gained his immortality as well as his powers. However, they were not invincible. Even if they could live forever, they can just as easily be killed. Luckily they never had to learn this the hard way, and so they lived for quite some time.
When Night was 17, she was beaten, raped and left for dead in a part of town that no one would find her. Until, fortunately, the vampire king Alucard discovered her. He offered to save her life in return for five centuries of service. With certain death being her alternative, she accepted the offer.
Over the five hundred years of their lives, they managed to gain plenty of money. Enough to buy and expand upon a mansion (several in fact) along with servants to take care of them.
And this concludes their story up until present day.
