David and LizBeth were a struggling couple in London's East End, surviving on the dole and the odd prize David won in singing contests - unable to speak normally due to his severe stuttering, David has a magnificent singing voice and does not have trouble enunciating lyrics. The couple owed money to a loan shark, and that's where their troubles really began. One evening, the loan shark broke into their apartment. His goons trapped David in the bathroom, while the shark felt up LizBeth in the kitchen and the goons stripped the apartment of anything saleable. Outraged, the two decided to kill the loan shark. LizBeth lured the man into an alley with the promise of taking out the loan in trade, and David beat his head in with a brick. A few days later, the two killed a police officer who was investigating the crime, fearing that he had gotten too close and they'd be rumbled. At that point, on the run from the law, they were spotted by a Brujah, who saw a great potential in them. He offered them sanctuary from the law and a chance at a new life. The couple took it without looking back, and were Embraced. The Brujah, Nick Taylor, had had enough of the Sabbat encroachments in London, and wanted a hit squad. He trained the two as an assassination team, somewhat inexpertly, and turned them loose against the Sabbat. Unfortunately, his few vague remarks about drinking the blood of other Kindred were ineffective, and the pair diablerized their first two Kindred victims. Nick, having not released them, took the blame for the actions of his Childer, and all three had to flee London for areas where diablerie against the Sabbat was winked at by more radical Camarilla leaders. David and LizBeth have since been released, and do not diablerize their Kindred victims, having learned from their previous errors. Taylor, however, is still considered little better than Sabbat himself for using the enemies' methods against them. David is a sturdy man of lean build, with a very plain, bland face and dirty-blonde hair cut in a Beatle bob. His features can contort amazingly when he is enraged, making him look more primate than human. He prefers turtleneck sweaters, jeans and workboots, or other Mod clothing, but nothing flashy. LizBeth is more Goth in her appearance, using far too much mascara and kohl, dark lipstick, and being fond of patterned stockings, short skirts and deep red silk blouses and kimonos. Both have pronounced working-class London accents. David, like many (but not all) stutterers, is prone to sudden outbursts of primal rage, driven mad by frustration trying to communicate with the outside world. He is +2 to all attempts to resist Frenzy, +3 or higher if someone is being obtuse or otherwise having difficulty understanding him, whether real or pretended. Taunting him is a dangerous thing indeed. Interestingly, when in Frenzy or otherwise outraged, he no longer stutters, but may be too infuriated to speak clearly, his words lost in howls of rage. David is also insanely jealous of Lizbeth, and will Frenzy all over anyone who attempts anything with her, regardless of who started the activity. Lizbeth, who is most definitely the brains of the outfit, takes advantage of this. One of her favorite tactics is to leave David in an alley, then lure the victim into the alley with the promise of sex (for a breather) or mutual Kiss (for Kindred). Once the activity starts, it's only a matter of seconds before David, who has of course been watching, goes into Frenzy and tapdances all over the poor sod. The two are tightly and mutually blood-bonded, normally sharing blood after a kill, while still in the heat of passion. They've been lucky thus far that no-one has discovered them during this, locked into a mutual Kiss not ten metres from the body of their latest victim. They do not share the blood of their victim when their target is Kindred. They know better now. Note: LizBeth is absolutely terrified of dogs. She has never met a Garou. The two are frequently mistaken for Malkavians. As far as David's Frenzy modifiers go, I realize they may seem a bit extreme, given the Brujah clan weakness, but you'd have to see the source material. The character David is based on spent most of the movie in a state of rage. At one point, a clerk in a convenience store got pissy with him because David came in and asked for cigarettes, singing the request so he wouldn't stutter. The clerk insisted David speak his request and wait for it to be fulfilled. David beat the clerk nearly to death, fracturing his skull and breaking all his ribs, after which David drove his car through the front window of the shop, looted the place, and drove off. If anyone recognizes the source material, let me know. The prize: one pat on the back that you'll have to administer yourself, but that's better than a slap on the belly with a wet trout.
