Hello, Stars. I come here requesting the title of the Dishou(地獸) Star.
Backstory:
The OC is, as you might have guessed, a Bloodfiend from M. Corp., born and raised in its backstreets, Violet being her name. A 3rd kindred, to me more specific. Yet, she was not always a third kindred. Actually, she used to be a 5th kindred from the Bloodfiend Family of M. Corp., at least until a certain night. That night, was when the mighty 1st kindred of M. Corp fell, to the hands of a fixer, of an office under the command of Shi Association's Section 2, that was specifically trained to end Bloodfiends' lives. It was a miracle Violet, and some other Bloodfiends survived. But, the first and second kindreds met their demise there, sacrificing themselves for the Family. Despite the sadness and despair their deaths brought, they didn't give up. They kept surviving in the Backstreets, in memory of their lost kindreds, until one day, Violet was able to sneak into the Nest, remaining unnoticed.
She was able to get the bloodfiends some food, from a graveyard located near the backstreets, and was able to also buy weapons with the little Ahn she had. One blade, similar to the Shi's blade - a long, black and red katana-like blade - was all she was able to afford. With that blade, and despite not being the best combatant at the time, being better in healing, she protected the Family from most ordeals, even though some of the lower kindreds still died, gaining a lot of experience from that. They lived a relatively peaceful life, in the M. Corp backstreets. But Violet still thought too many died, so she sought out for help, and still is, to this date.
Reasons:
This is a Bloodfiend, a Beast, applying for the Beast Star.
The original Dishou Star is said to be extremely good at treating horses, and is nicknamed the "Purple Bearded Count".
(IC) I wish to teach the arts I have learned in the backstreets of M. Corp to someone else, and believe this place is good to find protection for the Family. It might be a bit selfish, sure, but I see it as mutual benefit. Thank you for finding my application, Stars, and I hope we can get along well.
(OOC - Please excuse any typos, and tell me if there's anything missing(im not sure if i understood all the requirements correctly, and if this is too much or too little), also thank you for reading this!!)
Here is a new thing. Tell us about your favourite book. Try to get other people to read it! Or, try to get people who dislike that book to like it! Be creative!

Greetings, those who call themselves "Stars".
Do not ask how I found this place. Let us just say that a little birdie told me about it. That you guys are guided by some sort of... "Virtue of Humanity", was it not? I got curious.
Regardless, I bring a question regarding this Syndicate. Would you allow a Bloodfiend to roam around this place? As you follow a principle of humanity, it has gotten me curious. Of course, I come here in peace, with no desire to bring any of you harm. I promise that I will not take any of your blood, unless the circumstances are dire.
Thank you for your time, in advance. I hope we can get along well. And apologies if the question was not welcome.
Had you been given a chance to rewrite a book most people do not like, the most people, not having to include you, which book would you choose? And what would you change in said book? A character? The antagonist? The protagonist? Or something else? Do tell!
In your opinion, what makes a good antagonist? An evil one? A smart one? One with a redemption arc? An unredeemable one? Or something else, entirely? Do tell!
What is your opinion on cliches? Do you like them? Do you not? Do you think they should not exist? What do you think of them? Do tell!
What kind of book cover is the more inviting to you? The sparkly kind? The simplistic kind? Or other kinds of covers? Which ones spark your interest as a reader more? Do tell!
What is the book that made you dislike a genre you dislike? And why? Is it because you did not like the book? Because the book was about a theme you are not very fond of, or... Perhaps, something else? That, if you have any!
