The Nineteenth Day: More Van details

Ok so here's the story of Van. His full name is Vanhelsing Rodrick Michaels and he's nineteen years old. He is sent by his mother to live with his godmother in the town of Darkrock because she is going on an important archeological expedition  in Haiti. He discovers his godmother, whos name is Margaret Williams, lives in the local museam. She then drops the bomb that he is actually part of a mystical bloodline of demon slayers. Van, being very easy going accepts this, especially he's been seeing alot of strange things lately.

The demon slayer works this way. The trait is passed through differnent generations of people. Its not determined by sex. A demon hunter can be boy, girl, there was even a set of twin demon hunters. When the person reaches a certain age they become able to see the creatures such as demons, vampires, werewolves, fairies, etc. They are also given the power to defeat these creatures and are aided by a set of magical vambrace. The vambrace allow the wearer to summon forth any weapon they own. Basically its a magical storage system. The vambrace also grant the wearer intense fighting and marial art skills, but the wearer still needs to learn how to harness these abilites and use them properly. It also allows the user to communicate with anyone from the guild.

The Guild are the slayers team mates, it consist of The Mage, The Sage, and The Hunter. The Mage is the primary magic caster of the group and The Hunter helps to track the demons and such. The Hunter is special because he/she is always a demon, or part demon themselves. The Sage is The Guilds teacher or mentor, giving them knowlegde and guidance.

After learning all of this, Margaret charges Van with finding the rest of the guild. The vambrace are supposed to assist him in this. While enrolling at The Darkrock University the next day, he discovers The Mage, a boy by the name of William Bradley, Will for short. Turns out Will was waiting for him, having had a premonition of the whole thing weeks before hand. They both are immediatly attracted to each other, and Will admits to having seen this happen too. They both agree to look for the hunter together and discover her later that night at a local club. Her name is Shannan Kooper, and she is half banshee. Being half banshee, she really isn't that shocked. She agrees to meet the group at the museam the next day.

Now that the group is all together, they must learn to defeat the monsters grouping in the town of Darkrock.

This is William, The Mage.
This is Shannan, The Hunter.
And this is Margaret, The Sage.
