Originally, when my campaign group was in Las Vegas (setting wise), my main vampire character had a brush with death. Fortunately he was able to make it out, but I started creating this character afterwards.
Luca's story is that it was Halloween night and he and his co-workers were having a friendly B-Rated monster movie night. They worked for a law firm which was ran by the Giovanni Clan. Luca was to be ghouled that night, however, the local mob had other ideas. Let's just say after escaping the gunfire and crossfire between the local mob and the Giovanni, Luca's boss frenzies and bleed Luca dry. Now, he's a wraith that is attached to a necklace that someone gave to him (secret love interest), seeking revenge against both the mob and the Giovanni Clan.
