Lux Martin

Lux Martin is a sixty-four year-old reformed Modern vampire whose place of permanent residence is in Seattle, Washington.

Family History
Michael Martin lived anything but a relatively normal life since his birth. A Son of Adam, he was educated since he was old enough to fully comprehend the graveness of the matters about monsters and demons. Born in Seattle, his family were slayers and hunters, pre-destined enemies of supernaturals. Although the Martins did not persecute paranormals who were as law-abiding as they could be because most in their family were at least humans with special mental abilities that were not commonly seen in others, they were very stern with those who murdered and influenced humans for the worse. The first-born son, Michael was raised as a slayer himself, like every patriarch before him, and he never faltered in his beliefs or his way of life until he chose to marry an honest-living woman in the mid-50's, who knew nothing of supernaturals as a real threat against humankind.

After he and Elize were wed, he continued to pursue supernaturals, and did so for the few years before Elize became pregnant with their first daughter, always extremely careful about his duty. Because Elize was not going to give birth to a son instead, his daughter would not be exposed to the world of demons as he had been, for within the Martin line, only the first-born son of the main bloodline was burdened with that responsibility. When Lux was born, Michael gave up his slayer ways in favor of raising and protecting his newborn daughter and wife solely, despite his own father's disapproval at his decision to abandon his fate.

Early Life
Lux Martin herself lived a much more normal young life than her father had. She seemed completely lacking in any of the paranormal powers that many Martins before her had inherited. She grew up unaware of her family's history for years, kept isolated from their past to the best of her father's and grandfather's combined efforts. Although she was just a young child when the period of great change occurred during the 60's, Lux was always very much aware and interested in the social and political changes that were constantly taking place around her, and her personal ideals and beliefs bloomed greatly as a result of these outer influences.

Vampiric Transformation
In 1981, when she was twenty-three and about to graduate from university, Lux was attacked by a vampire on her way home from a late-night library visit for finals. Turned against her will and then promptly abandoned by her Maker, Lux never did graduate, although she did return home.
