AU week 2016: milliways
Aug. 7th, 2016 05:22 pm At some point in her life, Sonya was a special forces officer, married to a martial arts actor and between them they had one daughter. Balancing home life and the military was hardly easy, and Sonya would've been the first to admit it was always a challenge adjusting, but she would've never been one to complain.
Then there was the attack in Thailand, but instead of dying, Sonya found herself picked by one of their informants-and changed into a vampire. She had no real way of knowing, but the creature's reason for allying himself with them required 'payment', a soldier he considered strong enough for him to sire another vampire before committing suicide.
To make matters worse, as a fledgling, Sonya's blood lust was still too strong to trust herself around humans-let alone her family. Not wanting to put those she loved at risk, Sonya put herself in trust to the army, hoping they could find a way to keep her from harming the humans she's dedicated her life to protecting. In a decision that pains her to this day, Sonya let her family believe she was dead, erasing her status as an active member.
Now, instead of an active officer, Sonya's role in the military is a free-agent. using her new 'gifts' as informant and tracker. Once and awhile she'll track down and spy on her family, but after so long, she can't bring herself to face them and risk loosing control.
The sort of vampire Sonya's based on is roughly based on The vampire chronicles and the weaknesses and strengths that go along with their kind. Being in the army, she's been able to get a hold of extremely strong UV protection spray, while her army issued clothing is specifically made to block out UV light.
For feeding, Sonya prefers willing donors, and even then she'll keep a hip flask of blood and anti coagulants to keep the hunger at bay. Because she's still a relatively young vampire, the urge to hunt is still incredibly strong, and she'll often find more run down and crime ridden places to feed. Being in Spec. Ops, she's seen the worst of humanity and gets some sense of equilibrium when hunting down those who'd exploit and feed off those who can't defend themselves.
