Evelyn Chapel
From Cam-Wiki
I had a dream, which was not all a dream.
The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars
Did wander darkling in the eternal space,
Rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth
Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air;
Morn came, and went and came, and brought no day,
And men forgot their passions in the dread
Of this desolation; and all hearts
Were chill'd into a selfish prayer...
- Darkness. Lord Byron

Description: Evelyn is a blonde bombshell a whirl of colour, radiance, fashion, sexuality and immense personality. She greets you with a big almost knowing smile like perhaps she knows something about the world you do not, like a child with a barely contained secret. Her eyes however contradict her smile, filled with barely contained wanton desires she radiates lust, for what however one can never be too sure. Evelyn at first glance seems a darling, sweet, barely a predator until she is crossed or displeased with a person, the fascade crumbles away to reveal a cold and calculating predator.
History (Out of Character)
Evelyn Chapel lived on a profitable little farm in a tiny little county outside of Savannah in the US of A and was the youngest of Robert and Daphne Chapel four children and the only girl. Evelyn could see it in her father’s eyes that being a girl was a huge disappointment for him, she would never be good for anything more than marriage, she was certainly no good for farm work. Evelyn however had the voice of an angel and her mother was convinced with her voice and good looks she’d find herself a fine husband. Why she was a good church going girl! It was through the church that Eve fell in love with music and from that moment on signed on to every choir and musical the town had to offer.
So at the tender age of sixteen it came as no surprise to her parents when she told them she wanted to leave for Los Angeles and pursue a career in Broadway. Luckily for Eve her parents saw an opportunity. Her father took her to her first audition in the big city where she was awarded the position of the leading lady and so her father set her up in a tiny little apartment all of her own and left her with a parting gift. A Browning handgun, a reminder that the city was a dangerous place but to Eve it was that little slice of home.
For the next several years Eve carries out a successful Broadway career until she reads in the newspaper a call for auditions for extras in a movie. Excited at the prospect Eve spends all week praying and decides to attend the audition. Her prayers are answered when not only is she offered a spot as an extra the producer enchanted by her beauty offers her a small speaking role! That evening Eve writes home excitedly to tell her family and friends. The fame generated by the movie and record breaking Broadway ticket sales thereafter goes to Eve's head and she stops writing home altogether and is a mere shadow of the small town country girl she once was. Eve grows into a mean and demanding diva.<brr>
It is little surprise that when she was embraced in 1948 she was not accepting of the fact and for the next few years danced on the fine line of the masquerade. Reveling in her new found immortality and pursing Broadway with a new passion, posing for many blurry photos. She is enchanted by new like minded fabulously wealthy friends, her religious values long since forgotten. Though her sleep now is plagued by dreams of fiery angels bringing her religious edicts.
Eve dances closer and closer to smashing the masquerade until returns home one night in 1951 to find a demonic beast in her home who calls himself Raguel he beats her near senseless for her blatant disregard of the masquerade. Terrified Evelyn flees to the nearest church seeking protection, lost to why has God damned her so? Inside a tiny dirty little Church she meets Jebediah Creed who comforts and protects her, recognizes her for what she is and opens Evelyn’s eyes to God’s divine purpose for her.
With a new fire burning in her, a divine awakening! Evelyn returns to her religious roots studying Christianity. Where she falls in love with the Church and God once more, at peace with her divine purpose. Upon reaching thispeace Evelyn takes up the role of eternal student soaking all the wisdom and information she can from others in her covenant, she meets many teachers all who have new exciting knowledge to impart to her. Eve becomes a hardened woman, she is seemingly a good soft woman at a first glance but once crossed is cold and callous enemy, not quick to forgive.
When Evelyn finally discovers that Jebediah used Theban Sorcery to lead her to her divine purpose Evelyn can't let go of the need to teach him a lesson, so when she learns that he has laid a careful trail for his perfect sinner to follow she meets his perfect sinner first and embraces the childe. As if to rub salt in Jebediah's wounds dotes on him, though seemly callous toward Jebediah she respects him and loves him as family and when Jebediah tells Evelyn he is leaving for a Holy Site in Armidale, Australia Evelyn without question says her farewells to her friends and sire and departs to for Plymouth in the United Kingdom where they will start their journey to Australia. However Jebediah is unawares at this point that Evelyn has cut a deal with a business man she met early providing that two of the with a rather lucrative deal.
In Plymouth Evelyn and her companions board the Teylya where Evelyn is delighted to see several faces from her past.

She is very close to her “family” living with three of them and remaining in contact with as many others as possible.
