Bio: When he was still just within the egg, his parents had come to grow close with a wandering group of humans and chose to serve as their protectors. It was a fair trade really. Offer them protection at night during their travel and during the day when camp was set they would protect them in their stone sleep and their eggs. Protection wasn't all his parents gave either. They helped hunt, taught the humans how to battle in case anything were to happen...truly gave them their independence. The nameless gargoyles had such an impact on the humans that when they past shortly after their young's fifth year of living, the humans swore to protect and raise the little ones.
Unfortunately, after the winters moon had passed the female passed the same night she hatched of an unknown cause. Feeling responsible for the girls death, the humans poured even more love and care into the boy to ensure his happiness and survival. He was the sweetest boy but that soon would change. The older he got, the more the humans came to notice just how different he was. He just didn't seem right. There was a darkness to him and quite honestly it frighten the humans. However, they did not go back on their word to love, nurture and protect him. They simply just kept a close and weary eye on him.
By the time he was a teen, Vlad had gained many friends, all of course being human but their was one he was particularly fond of. Her name was Aislin. She too was fond of him and he did indeed court her however the girls father was non too happy about it and he made his thoughts known. Though we all know when two teenagers are in love, it's hard to tell them anything different. Aislin's father wasn't the only one to disapprove. All the humans did and it really affected Vlad, so much so he began to grow a resentment towards humans...but not for Aislin...his Aislin. When adults, Vlad made his way for his love. The two had made plans to run away together but he was met with an angry father and a mob. They had learned of their plans and came to think that Vlad had charmed sweet Aislin in some way and was trying to kidnap her for his perverse desires.
They threw stones at him and sticks. Though he only blocked them as best he could and growled at their foolishness. Unbeknown to the humans, their acts of unjust prejudice and hate were slowly pushing Vlad over the edge. "You're nothing but a foul beast!" one shouted, "A sin!" said another as they threw a rock and it was then that Vlad died and Sin was born. For when the rock was thrown, Aislin had thrown herself before him, screaming for the others to stop as her arms wrapped around her love. The rock had hit the back of her head with such force it broke through her skull, hitting her brain and killing her instantly. Feeling her go limp in his arms and her once warm body grow cold broke him. There was hush now and Sin could only pull her still form close to his tightly. His wings fanned out, his head lashed back and a fearsome roar was released into the nights air.
The humans coward at the anger displayed and even more so when his crimson eyes bore down at them. Laying Aislin down gently, he placed a kiss on her lips before his sanity completely left him and then lunged for the humans responsible. It was a gruesome slaughter though Sin did not come out unscathed. He had a gash across his left eye and another starting at his right clavicle going down diagonally to his left hip bone. When the deed was done, he ran to the cliff side, dove off and glided off into the night sky while releasing another pain-filled roar into the air.
