Buffy The Vampire Slayer - The Myth
It had been foretold...
Into each generation a Slayer is born. One girl in all the world, a Chosen
One. One born with the strength and skill to fight the vampires, to stop the spread
of their evil and the swell of their numbers.
For every vampire in the world, there is a Slayer. The Slayer Code: Destroy
all vampires with the obligatory aid of super strength, fighting ability and an
acute and intense gift of timing-think of it as being bitten by a radioactive
spider minus the leotard. It is not only vampires, however, that these warriors
have chosen the responsibility to annihilate. They also have to time-out demons,
monsters and just about every other kind of nasty that can come to mind. Usually,
the end result is a heinously bloody slaughter, sometimes accompanied by one of
todays hottest bands. With the aid of a Watcher-who trains and looks out for each
Slayer-these superhuman do-gooders have been known mostly to lurk in the shadows
alone, following their prey-the bloodsucking un-dead As you can imagine, these
heroes have an unhealthy expiration date, most don not live to see past 20.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer - The Story
Welcome to Sunnydale...
Essentially ground zero for all things naughty, Sunnydale, California was built
on top of an Indian Burial Ground, No, wait, Hellmouth: a portal to a rotted dimension
that just about every slag wants to unlock and unleash hell on Earth.
Coincidentally, in 1997, Vampire Slayer Buffy
Summers moved to Sunnydale with her mother Joyce to get her away from her previous
school in LA after her parents divorced. You see, under the guidance of a Watcher
named Merrick (who had an incredible likeness to a mulleted vamp in a film called
Lost Boys), our heroine torched her schools gymnasium during a slayfest against
a bunch of overbites. Don not worry; we have no't heard much about any repercussions
from the incident or the movie therein. Let us just forget it happened and move
on.
With the aid of her loyal comrades, Willow,
Giles,
Xander,
Anya,
Tara,
Spike and her sister
Dawn,
the Buffster has dispelled many worthy foes including; The Master, the Anointed
One (aka the Annoying One), Adam, Faith and Glory. As dedicated as she is, Buffy
still tries to find the time to deal with the trivialness of college life. Unfortunately,
her love life is not with frat boys and the like. It seems that even after dating
the vamp Angel that she might become romantically involved with one William the
Bloody.
One persons strength can only truly be judged by their conviction and dedication
to their calling, their prophecy, their fate and their gift. Proving that she
was indeed the truest of Slayers, Buffy Anne Summers gave her life to obstruct
evils Glory for the Dawn of our worlds salvation. Although the Slayer lore warned
that most Slayers do not live to see 20, Buffy was an exception...but not by much.
It is a grave new world. Prepare yourself for resurrection and retribution.
