Titania Ditzel

Titania Ditzel is a Toreador Neonate, born in 2026 and embraced in 2048, she a skilled shooter and world class hacker, bested only by other kindred. A VTuber on twitch, streaming daily before the sun goes down, a decently popular Tumblr page, and co-host of a masquerade friendly podcast on the shreknet, Titania is an influencer of the modern era. Though few mortals know her face, as her streams are behind a VTuber avatar and she has never posted a picture of herself on her Tumblr or Twitter accounts, her voice is instantly recognizable. Before being embraced she was recognized at fast food drive throughs several times and is still occasionally recognized in the lobbies iof video games like Apex, Valorant, OverWatch 3, and Call of Duty, which she plays religiously. She is quite well off, she primarily gets income through twitch subs and mech sales, but she does occasionally siphon money from unsuspecting bank accounts and will, from time to time, work as a hacker for hire.

Titania was born and raised in a small village in upstate New York, tucked deep in the Catskill mountain range, called Ellenville. Ellenville had a declining population for the better part of a century; It seemed as if it would become a ghost town by the time she had kids of her own. She had no kids her own age to play with in town, her neighbors being aged anywhere from 50 to well into their 90’s. The nearest school was in Kingston, New York, an hour bus ride each way.

Due to her isolation from potential friends, she went online to find human interaction. This is where she gained a love for video games at an early age. MMOs and sandbox games were by far her favorite as a child. However, when she got older, she started to drift more towards shooter games. She became a crack shot with a controller and her trigger finger itched to fire a real gun. Her parents brought her to a shooting range out in the mountains and let her try out their Beretta 92 and her great-grandfather's .22 hunting rifle. She was instantly enamored. She'd come out to this range every single weekend for years, often spending up to 16 hours on the range practicing different drills with different guns.

Over the years of online games, she'd meet a variety of friends from across the world. Her main friend group consisted of herself, going by the online name 5P1TF1R3, and her friends 0cto, fauna, pokey, and GOOSE. Between rounds of the latest COD game and whatever hero shooter was on sale last week, they would hack small websites, changing the front page to a logo they designed for their team based loosely off of Hydra from MARVEL comics and Sombra's Sugar Skull from Overwatch. They called themselves the Squid Squad.

Their team gained a little bit of notoriety on the dark web, enough that they could start charging people for hacks. Mostly credit card info or social media pages, they never had a massive heist, but it was a fun job that got them some income. Though, she would be much better known as the Succubus VTuber 5P1TF1R3 than the hacker of the same name. She played games games live on twitch while using a virtual model she had purchased using her ill-gotten gains. She started streaming on Twitch on her 16th birthday and had reached 100k subscribers by her birthday the next year. She'd be lying if she said she hadn't hacked twitch to promote her channel more than it normally would, but she never had a problem lying.

A VTuber model is far from the only thing she bought with the money she had received from hacking. She would ocasionally buy guns when she could manage to find someone willing to sell to a minor. Her favorites were a 20-gauge Remington shotgun and an antique M16 used in the Vietnam war. She would bring these guns and several others to the range every chance she got.

While she was having plenty of fun streaming, hacking, and shooting, her parents were concerned as they felt she needed a "real job" so they suggested she start looking at college. After a few years of badgering and belittling, she decided to apply at a few colleges, if only to shut them up. Much to her surprise, she was accepted into Bostin University, where she would decide to attend after a tour of the campus.

Now 20 years old, a freshman in college, and never having had a friend whose face she would see on a regular basis, she was sorely lacking in social skills. All the swagger and posturing she was able to do through the anonymity of the internet was quickly drained the second she could look someone in the eyes.

Over the next two years she would make close friends with Professor Patrick McGregor, who seemed to be suave enough for the both of them and who saw right through her sarcastic defenses immediately. They bonded over their mutual love of computers and hacking. After two years, Professor McGregor confided in Titania a dear secret: that he was a vampire.

Less than a week after embracing Titania, something happened to her sire. Fearing he might soon be killed, or worse, he told Titania that, should he not show up to class or respond to her emails and texts, she should hide with an old student of his, Annelysse Bellville. She booked a boat to Caliburn Island where she would meet up with Annelysse of clan Ventrue as well as the other Toreador of the island, becoming fast friends with Scott and Anderson. Annelysse and the then Primogen of the Toreador on Caliburn, Alex Griffith, would begin teaching her in the ways of kindred.

A few months after arriving on the island, another Toreador would move in, a wrestler named Joel Shaw. By this time Titania had become quite settled on the island, moved in with Annelysse, dating Anderson and she would be about a month away from completing her accounting. Hearing that Joel also knew her missing sire sent her searching for clues, she was given two new leads in Boston by Joel, which she is currently looking in to as we speak.
