Kain’s flesh bears the weight of divine curse ashen skin threaded with dim red veins, like cracks in old stone. His body is heavy, unnatural, untouched by time or decay. He walks like a man carved by wrath, not born.
When Kain spilled his brother’s blood for the first time, the earth itself cried out in judgment. God marked him not to end his life, but to brand him forever as the first murderer. The mark burned into his forehead was both curse and protection: a sign no man should strike him down, yet a reminder he could never escape his guilt never bond a relation never trust someone.
This mark changed Kain’s flesh pale, cracked, and veined with faint red like dried blood beneath stone an eternal reminder of that first violent act. He walks the world carrying the weight of his sin, forever marked by wrath and exile.

All it takes is a little blood for a Kindred to survive, if not thrive, indefinitely. Incredibly hardy and no longer needing niceties like "Air" and "food or water," the only weakness of the kindred is its infuriating need to rest during the day so that it may hunt during the night. Yet, even that is not so bad, for without dreams of a darker tomorrow, how would one be inspired to make things worse?

Carver might seem distracted sometimes, but her attention is never truly away from the current moment.
Carver's psychic capabilities allow her to plug into the Noosphere, the collective unconscious. This allows her to sometimes pull random tidbits of information, read intentions, and most crucially, offload portions of her mental strain to every single mind on the planet. Infinitesimally less than a drop in the bucket for everyone else, but it allows Carver to push herself for longer.
She needs to be careful, though. She can't do it for long, or else risk her personality being sucked into the collective unconscious, leaving behind an empty husk of what she was. And that's a one way trip, for now.
