Vita doesn't fully understand what Azazel is. She just knows that when people hurt her, he shows up. She doesn’t call him—he just comes. Every time someone lands a real hit, the air tears, the lights dim, and this giant thing—part man, part beast—crawls out of her shadow like it's been waiting down there, bored and hungry.
She usually just tilts her head, smiles a little, and signs “Uh-oh.”
Azazel doesn’t ask questions. He only understands one thing: if there’s fighting, he’s fighting. And if someone touches Vita? They go first.
As soon as Vita is wounded, a jagged rift rips through the space behind her. It smells like burnt copper and old incense. From it emerges a 6'2" figure: all twisted muscle, ritual scars, and a goat’s skull for a head, wreathed in shadow and bone dust. It doesn’t roar. It doesn’t speak. It just snaps to life and starts attacking everyone in combat range like it was summoned to punish.
Combatants feel it before they see it—like cold sweat dripping down their spine. Vita, meanwhile, just keeps skipping through the chaos, probably eating fruit snacks.
Azazel is a guardian spirit. Or maybe a curse. Vita doesn’t remember when he started following her—it was sometime after Bapha, sometime before she stopped having normal dreams. He never speaks. He doesn’t obey. He decides.
Some think Azazel is a punishment she unknowingly brought on herself. Others believe he’s a protective ward, a pact signed in blood and forgotten in sleep. Vita? She thinks he’s “kind of sweet.” He watches out for her.
And if that means he tears through a room the second someone throws a punch?
Well, that’s not her fault.

Sally extends her hand out into the thin air, where the spirit lies in wait. The horrid little creature that she once assumed to be an amalgamation of intrusive thoughts and her own subconscious, stabs it’s little fangs into her, and begins to grow from the blood, drawing in nearby dirt and earth until it is a bloody clay, and once it is full it dries into flesh. For many years the spirit has demanded that it be fed blood, and now it finally gets what it wants.

The Vampire is able to turn one of their victims into a lesser vampire, a pale shadow of a full creature of the night but useful nonetheless. Having drained and killed their target, the Vampire performs a brief ritualistic bloodletting, wherein they spill their own blood into the target's mouth, forcing them to drink, and bonding them together as child and sire.
Shortly afterwards, the fledgling vampire will rise from death, hungry for blood and eager to serve.
