Canlin Destrow

is a detective on Videna. They are a human vampire.
== History ==
=== Early Years ===
Canlin grew up on Aeldrum to a poor family. When they were only 8 years old, their mother became involved with The Coven and pressured the entire family to join. Canlin, their father, and two of their siblings all joined, but their grandparents and another one of this siblings refused. Those who joined left Aeldrum, splitting their family forever.
=== The Coven ===
Canlin's family sought a better life in the Coven, where they expected they could finally be free from poverty. Instead, their situation worsened. The Coven, being a nomadic group, required them to sell crafts for a living, which proved difficult for the the family. Though the group would help members internally, the fact that they were new to the Coven left them with few friends.
Upon reaching adulthood, Canlin was allowed choice of which type of vampire to become. At first they were interested in becoming a Drake, but during an internal conflict that left one of their siblings permanently injured, Canlin developed a distaste for them and Goons. They decided to become a Sycophant instead, to end fights before they begin.
After becoming a full-fledged vampire, Canlin acquired a boyfriend using their newfound powers. The relationship did not last, as once Canlin revealed which vampiric subgroup they belonged to, their partner figured out the manipulation and ended the relationship. Canlin would then vow to refuse to use their powers in such a way ever again.
Eventually things improved for the Destrows. Other newcomers came to the Coven and took some of the pressure off them. Canlin found a position in the scouting teams that would sometimes be sent out to the worlds that the Coven would look to travel to. Eventually this led them to Videna.
=== Videna ===
While on the scouting mission to Videna, Canlin encountered their future husband, Andrue Omin. The two fell in love quickly, and Canlin refused to leave with the Coven when they eventually moved on to the next world. The Coven did not take kindly to this and the pair had to go into hiding for a few years. Once again Canlin found themself in poverty, begging on the streets to avoid notice. Andrue did not take kindly to this, as he had been accustomed to a more middle-class lifestyle. The two fought over it, until they deemed that it was finally safe to come out of hiding.
Canlin quickly found real work using their powers, which they kept hidden even from Andrue. The two became married, and they bought a small house together. It wasn't long before tragedy struck, however. Andrue was killed, and it left Canlin feeling hopeless. They lost their job, and began work tracking down Andrue's killer. The trail grew cold and Canlin made little progress on it, but started picking up new mysteries to investigate. Eventually, they settled into the role of detective on Videna.
