Takes minor inspiration from the TV Show What We Do In The Shadows.
Copper-9, but it's naturally inhabited by Drones, still likely created by JCJenson a long while ago, but the company has nothing to do with the Elliotts here. The air isn't toxic, and everyone lives in homes and towns and whatnot. The Elliotts live in a Manor on the edge of the main town the AU takes place within. In a rather small home, lives the newest Vampire colony (a note - unlike the usual 1,000 year old vampires you see in media, N, V, and J are the same age as Uzi and them. Cyn is older though since she's one of the highest ranking Vampires on Copper-9), consisting of Nate, Vanny, and Jenny.
Tired of the cramped house, the Vampires raided Elliott Manor, killing and eating James and Louisa, but sparing a begging Tessa they found hiding in her room, making her into Jenny's new familiar. Nobody seems to notice that Drones live in the Manor now - it's not like Louisa and James were particularly well-liked members of the community, and pretty much nobody even knew Tessa existed.
UZI DOORMAN
FAMILY: Khan (Deceased) & Nori Doorman
FRIENDS: Nate, Thad
Nate's familiar. Uzi was the first hired of the current familiars, having been invited over by Nate after she asked why he buys so many clothes ("We're... really messy painters"). Thad wanted to see his art, though he ends up not being able to go. Nate, of course, actually wanted to kill and eat the two, though changed his mind and instead asked if she would be his familar. Uzi tends to procrastinate her tasks unless Nate's the one asking her to do something, and she sleeps on a chair in Nate's room (he'd get her a bed if Jenny would allow it - after Tessa joins the group Uzi is upgraded to a beanbag). She's best friends with the vampire loving Thad, though she can't tell him that she's a familiar or that Nate's a vampire. She does kind of find the situation funny. Khan was killed by a Vampire when she was little.
NATHAN / NATE
FAMILY: None
FRIENDS: Uzi, Thad, Vanny(...?), Tessa
The lowest vampire of the group, yet also the most violent. Nate loves spending nights shifting into a Golden Retriever, running down the streets, free... until the dogcatchers bring him to the Shelter again, and Uzi has to get him out in the morning. Nate doesn't... really leave a corpse behind, which sure makes Uzi's job easier, and he likes bringing her to fly. Thad is starting to get suspicious about Nate and the Golden Retriever he keeps seeing be brought in, due to the two having the same shade of fur/hair color and heterochromia, though Nate always nervously denies the notion. Likes hanging out with Uzi, Thad, and Tessa, often going to events, usually just with Uzi and Thad as Tessa is still way too out of touch with society to jump into a carnival or other large gatherings. Tends to defend his friends with killing or maiming.
JENNIFER / JENNY
FAMILY: None
FRIENDS: Tessa
The leader of the Vampires, Jenny is tasked with keeping the group on track on their plan to take over. It's... it's not going great. They're really awful at this. Treats Nate just about the same as in canon, though after bonding with Tessa and seeing how she was left after her parents treatment, starts lightening up on Nate. Jenny eats most like your typical vampire - bite the neck and drink. Jenny's actually somewhat of a poor flier, and hates having to admit to it.
VANESSA / VANNY
FAMILY: None
FRIENDS: Nate(...?), Lizzy
Second-In-Command... really only in name. Jenny prefers keeping all the leadership stuff to herself. Vanny is usually with Lizzy or scaring the locals, thinking it's funny to fuck with them. She tears out the wires of her corpses and eats those alongside the oil, which Jenny dislikes since it's so messy. Vanny will sometimes tease Lizzy by having her fetch the most basic of things.
THAD
FAMILY: Parents
FRIENDS: Uzi, Lizzy, Doll, Nate
Uzi's best friend, Thad's always loved vampires as long as Uzi's known him, which is why Uzi finds it weird he doesn't seem to be aware Nate is one. Thing is... he does know this. He just thought it was obvious so he never said anything. However, he is not aware Nate is the Golden Retreiver. Thad often joins in on vampire conventions, though tends to only do so if they're small and he doesn't know anyone there due to being teased for it in the past. He works as a volunteer at the local animal shelter, being the same one that Nate frequently finds himself at. Getting suspicious.
DOLL
FAMILY: Yeva & Sarah
FRIENDS: Lizzy, Thad
The most recent Vampire Hunter in a family line of them, Doll is quiet and aggressive. She keeps to herself, only really ever talking to Thad or Lizzy. Thad's unaware of her Hunting career, she's unaware that he loves the creatures she regularly hunts down and kills. Great at crafting her own weapons, concerning her classmates (who aren't Lizzy, anyway) since she tends to do this in the middle of class. After Vanny attacks her, Doll wakes up as a vampire after a few days. Understandably pissed, and unsure on who even attacked her, Doll is now even more aggressive about killing Vampires, alongside her family.
LIZZY
FAMILY: The Teacher & Father
FRIENDS: Uzi, Nate, Thad, Vanny
Vanny's familar. Lizzy was the second hired, having simply been asked by Vanny when the two were alone together. Knew it was a bad idea since her childhood bestie was a very efficent Hunter, but agreed anyway. Lizzy finds it rather annoying that her two best friends can't hang out together, but knows how dangerous and out of hand it would get if they did. Tends to ignore her tasks for several hours, choosing instead to insult whoever walks into the room she's in.
CYN
FAMILY: None
FRIENDS: Nate
The head vampire, currently in town for a observation due to how relatively new Jenny's team are to the town. Cyn isn't above threatening others to get the Vampires to work harder, usually targeting Tessa for Jenny and Nate for Vanny (Tessa and Nate are unaware). She's found that she doesn't really need to do the same for Nate - he loves doing anything, after all, but Uzi would do the trick if it comes to that. Cyn usually stays in the attic in her coffin, which Uzi frequently mentions doesn't seem like a good way to observe the vampires (Uzi is also loud about her dislike of Cyn in general so there's that).
TESSA ELLIOTT
FAMILY: James & Louisa Elliott (Both Deceased)
FRIENDS: Jenny, Nate
Jenny's familiar. The sole survivor of the raid on Elliott Manor, Tessa begged Nate and Lizzy not to kill her, which they agreed to since Jenny needed a new familiar, thus making her the last of them to be hired. Tessa is rather nervous and shy, never socializing with anyone that wasn't her parents (and even then, that was rare). She easily panics should she accidentally break something, fearing a harsh punishment as that's what occurred with her parents - but Jenny will just calm her down, and tell her that nothing like that's going to happen. As Tessa spends more time with the Vampires, she becomes more social and less shy, though is still super dependent on Jenny when they go in public. It makes her a less efficent familiar, but Jenny doesn't really mind since she's great at tasks... as long as they don't go outside the Manor. Lizzy and Uzi can do that just fine, anyway. Tessa enjoys taking apart the Drones Jenny and Vanny leave around the Manor (if Nate doesn't EAT THEM FIRST /silly), experimenting and creating little projects with them. As Tessa starts becoming more outgoing and social, she also... gets super violent and murder-happy.
YEVA
FAMILY: Sarah (Partner), Doll (Daughter)
FRIENDS: Nori, Alice
Doll's mom, a vampire hunter. She has a bit of a vengence for her daughter's injury and subsquent forced transformation, but is less aggressive than her. She's nonverbal and uses her visor for text if need be, but Doll and Sarah are pretty good at communication with her without the text. The family is pretty quiet and to themselves, not that any of them really mind all that much.
SARAH
FAMILY: Yeva (Wife), Doll (Daughter)
FRIENDS: Nori, Nate, Thad
Quiet and shy in public, very affectionate in private. Loves curling up on Yeva's lap or sleeping sprawled on the couch. Violent as hell and has some sort of situationship with Alice.
ALICE AND BEAU
FAMILY: Alice is Beau's mother
FRIENDS: None
A Vampire who isn't on either side of the Vampire / Drone argument-thing. She will kill and eat whoever she comes across regardless. Beau was adopted from a house she once raided and ate the adults within, so she usually keeps him in his room (within a stolen crib) so he isn't hurt when hunting. Sarah and Alice tend to meet each other in the night to fight. And maybe kiss.
NORI
FAMILY: Khan (Deceased) (Husband), Uzi (Daughter)
FRIENDS: Yeva
Misses Uzi living at home, since its empty otherwise. Often hangs out with Yeva.
