4.14 - Origins: Val - Val vs the RCMP Mar 18, 2025

Show notes

Within a few hours of becoming a vampire, Val felt the beast inside her surge forth for the first time and she easily dispatched the criminals at the gas station. She set fire to the building, took off, and spent the next year travelling across Canada, killing almost anyone when she needed to feed. She had evaded capture so far, but her luck may have run out, as she was pulled over on a rural road in Manitoba by the RCMP. Will she talk or fight her way out of an imminent arrest?

Featuring our Storyteller Ryan LaPlante (@theryanlaplante) alongside Tyler Hewitt (@Tyler_Hewitt) and Del Borovic (@deltastic).

4.13 - Origins: Val - Uh-oh Mar 11, 2025

Show notes

Val Miller awoke to her new unlife, having been saved from death, but also turned into a monster by one of the few people she trusted, Rufus Cross. They set fire to the arena and the bodies of their friends, and Cross quickly explained current kindred politics. Val grappled with the crumbling foundations of her life and rejected Cross’s offer to stay, deciding instead to take the next five years to find out for herself what it really means to be a vampire. Within hours, she was fighting for her life once again.

4.12 - Origins: Val - Crossroads Mar 04, 2025

Show notes

Val refused Damon’s offer to become a vampire and instead challenged him to single combat while Robin called boss Cross. Jack bled out, Robin tried to buy them time but was killed by a wayward knife, John too was stabbed, and Val was set upon by the other vampires. Before she lost consciousness, her attackers were gunned down in an instant and Val looked up into the face of her saviour, Rufus Cross, before he apologized and sank his fangs into her. How will Val tolerate becoming the demon she has always feared?

4.11 - Origins: Val - This Is How It Ends Feb 25, 2025

Show notes

In her first match of the Brawl, Val tried in vain to end it without killing her opponent, but ultimately she took a life for the first time. As she was escorted back to her cage, her combat training kicked in, she wrestled a gun from a guard, and began methodically shooting down the enemies around her. John finally broke out of his cage with Val’s help, but before he could free the others, the fight announcer seized Jack and cut off his arm. Only then did they see his monstrous features and two large fangs. How can they possibly escape this demon?

4.10 - Origins: Val - Enter the Dragon Feb 18, 2025

Show notes

Val and her friends arrived at the brawl and were led to an arena in the woods, but something felt very wrong when they were locked in cages until their fights were called, and as they watched the first fight, they immediately realized that the Brawl For It All was a fight to the death. Robin bargained with the organizer to fight Jack’s fights as a well as his own, and Val was called to face her first opponent. Not wanting to take a life, she tried to fake it, but the announcer called her out and declared she had no choice but to finish it. Will Val choose to cross this line, or will she find another way out?

4.09 - Origins: Val - The Brawl For It All Feb 11, 2025

Show notes

With Rufus Cross away for the next year, Val and her friends managed without him until the gym’s safe was robbed and their entire safety net was erased. With no record of any insurance, and law enforcement unable to offer any real assistance, they had to replenish their money and quickly. Jack reminded them about the brawl that Cross had forbidden them from even mentioning, and when they discovered there was a $100,000 prize to be won, they ultimately decided it was their best chance at saving the gym. Has their physical and mental conditioning prepared them for the fight ahead?

4.08 - Origins: Val - Cross Doesn’t Have to Know Feb 04, 2025

Show notes

Continuing our exploration of Val’s past, under Rufus Cross’s guidance, she got into wrestling as a heel called “The Demon” and found she enjoyed fighting without her life on the line. She grew closer to her gym friends as Robin trained for stuntwork and John got bigger without taking steroids, and life became more stable until Cross informed them that his government job would take him away from them for the next year. How will Val and her friends manage without the guiding hand of Rufus Cross?

4.07 - Origins: Val - Last Night Together Jan 28, 2025

Show notes

Over the next two years, Valerie learned how to box and, although she lost all of her fights, she steadily improved. She also began to connect with her training partners, Robin, John, and Jack, but when she grew afraid that it was all getting too good to be true, Cross had a heart-to-heart with her. He encouraged her to commit to her friendships and Valerie received some assurance that if she wasn’t looking for demons, she’d be alright. But as Valerie gets stronger and trains harder, will the demons find her?

4.06 - Origins: Val - Cross’s Gym Jan 21, 2025

Show notes

Five years after leaving her father in a trap, Valerie Miller made her way north and eventually landed in Calgary, desperately hungry and alone in a brutally cold winter. Rufus Cross found her fighting on the street, gave her a meal, and invited her to his gym to box. Valerie nearly didn’t survive the journey there, but she was rescued by two gym rats, and when she saw a pendant of St. Raphael around Cross’s neck, she decided to join them. How will Valerie adapt to a way of life where fighting now has rules?

4.05 - Origins: Val - Lost and Found Jan 14, 2025

Show notes

Valerie Miller survived her first night of being hunted by her father. She fled into town and begged for sanctuary at her grandparents’ house, only to be rejected and driven back. But that night was just the first of the new normal, and with no one to rely on, Valerie realized she would have to dedicate her time to learning more about the world outside her home and she prepared for her escape. Eventually she lured her father into a trap and set out on her own.
