Stillborn
This is my body,
This is my blood,
Sell me your soul,
Crawl through the mud.
I am your redeemer,
Can't you believe?
Lies and Treachery,
Is all your fit to receive.
Born again…
- Drink from me,
Born again…
- For Strife Everlasting,
Stillborn…
Stillborn…
I am Stillborn.
This is your saviour,
Twisting lifeless Smile,
Sweet lies of Salvation,
Silver tongue beguile…
You are the Damned,
Join my Family.
Make me proud,
As long as your slave to me.
Born again…
- Drink from me,
Born again…
- For Strife Everlasting,
Stillborn…
Stillborn…
I am Stillborn.
I Learn the Commandments,
Make me a New Man…
You're the Exception,
No Longer Human…
My Life is yours..
Never more to Grow,
My Life is lies,
What else can I know?
Dead again…
- You've Murdered me,
Dead again…
- Leave me Decaying,
Stillborn…
Stillborn…
Don't make me Stillborn.
Sean Ephialtes
Childe of Emily of the Line of Helena
Lady Emily is a truly ancient person, yet not actually an elder kindred. She became a ghoul some time in the early fifth century and remained such, with the aid of various Toreador elders for over a thousand years. Her paintings became legendary amongst the toreador, though few made it into mortal circulation because of the provocative kindred content. For years she desired to cross fully into the night, but her benefactors were loathe for her to lose the spark of creativity that only mortality could bring. Finally, the great-grandchilde of her original sponsor took pity upon her and gifted her immortality centuries ago. Emily is well respected amongst the Toreador clan, though more for the power of her original paintings rather than any subsequent notoriety. However, the lash of her tongue as Harpy has earned her respect and occasional resentment amongst other clans.
Lady Emily had heard of Sean's fantastic voice and became so enamoured with it that she could endure the distorted electronic music that accompanied it. She actually met Sean at a media party in Berlin (popular tour area for Goth-Industrial bands) some time later - where the injured (see below) singer had just completed a gruelling gig (against doctor's orders) and was partying (against doctors orders) with lots of ill advised drugs (extremely against a weary doctor's orders). The strain and trauma took its natural toll and while seducing a groupie he died. Emily was first to discover the couple and charmed the distraught teen into calming down and sent her for her "family doctor'. While she was gone Emily embraced him before he slipped too far.
Using boons to secure retroactive permission for Sean's embrace, she then trained him in her experience of a millennia of kindred courtly life. Unfortunately, Sean's bouts of depression and mania soon wore upon the painter. Soon he won respect amongst Anarch and Brujah elements that Emily mistrusted and refused to follow Emily's long tradition of marginalizing and abusing Nosferatu. When he accepted a post as acting Sheriff from the Prince of MK they argued long and fiercely.
Sean's voice is deep resonant and softly accented. This voice finally secured the success that he and his band had been seeking for years, ironically finally achieving this success actually took away the only thing that Sean had to live and strive for.
What passes for Sean's morality is indeed fleeting, and often negotiable, however his upbringing as a good catholic boy has it's legacy. Children are the only things that he can view as innocent anymore and he will not corrupt or sully any of them directly until they are at least teenage.
