Bio: Early Life:Hello,I am Joseph L. Daniels,but you can call me Joey,and this is my story.I was born on May 12,1865 in Nebraska to a family touched by the Civil War,my brother Cletus Joseph Daniels died in the war and I was named after him(fortunately I got his middle name as my first).My sister and I were the only siblings that survived past infancy,and I was raised by my mother because my father had a lethal heart attack when I was 3.My sister was always very daring and a bit headstrong which ended badly.One very early Spring when I was 9 and she was 10,we were hanging out with friends by a lake, and we were wondering how deep the water,Tom said 6 feet,John said 9 and Steve said it was 4.My Josephine said she was crazy and the other boys teased her and dared her to jump,which she did,after a while she didn't come up and I ran for help.She was found dead and had got her foot trapped,but the water was shallow enough that she hit her head and was knocked out before she knew what was happening.Besides her tragic death,I had a pretty happy childhood.

Becoming a vampire:When I met Hannah when I was twenty three and made and repaired clocks for a living.She was smart and confident,but most people couldn't tolerate that she was a Native American and eventually refused to talk to me for it,Cherokee to be precise,but I didn't care.She was a translator and we courted for seven years and I met her clan several times,not knowing she was a vampire.I found out the day I was going to propose to her that she was a vampire.Back when she was human named Ayushi ,her tribe was attacked by people who hated Native Americans and she was beaten and then turned while unconscious,when I say she didn't have any say in the matter I mean that she woke up under a snow bank with her hands tied.Fortunately she was saved by Old Jacob,whose origin and very existence is often debated by vampires,but he is said to be the most powerful vampire ever,but also very compassionate and helps vampires abandoned and abused by their sires.He taught her about being a vampire and brought her to the Fellowship of Freedmen who accepted her and she underwent the trials.I still knew I could trust her,I proposed and she accepted.I was turned after mom passed away from a contagious disease so I wouldn't get it.The trials I went through involved happened when I was unconscious and had the memory of the fact I was going through the trials temporarily wiped and in the very last one,I had to free four of the clan from a burning building,but only two could leave at a time and I beat it by letting two other people out before the other and myself.It didn't hurt because as soon as I made that decision I woke up and knew I had passed the trials.We got married in New York and the whole clan was there and Old Jacob even somehow got there to walk Hannah down the aisle.We eventually moved else where under different names,which we would do a lot.

World Wars: World War I came and went and the twenties were fun,but then the depression came and (in my opinion) Hoover did...not much and gassed protesting WWI veterans trying to get their war bonuses early,and I was unemployed,so I voted for Franklin Delano Roosevelt.He turned out to be a very effective president and I found a job.We also had a new member join our clan, a vampire sired to serve their vampire parent forever because they are being kept in fear of their "masters" or not being able to function on their own.That's why my clan is called the Fellowship of Freemen, the clan is basically a group of immortal friends but we try to stop any kind of forced labor.In Johannes' (the vampire in question and that's not his real name)case,he was turned to be an unpaid servant and escaped because he sent letters in English to us via fire,the wife of the closest thing we have to a leader is a very powerful witch and could read them that way.He came to America under the name Johannes and joined us.Bad things quickly started happening around the world from countries being occupied to groups of people disappearing and thus began WWII.
After the U.S joined after Pearl Harbor,Johannes joined because he felt guilty about what his home country had done.He was honorably discharged due to war time trauma near V-E (Victory in Europe) day.We later found out that he had seen some very awful things including a death camp,but he had a friend named David who was a werewolf and that helped him get through.One day,they were on a battlefield and a grenade was about to go off and David stepped on it and two thirds of the squadron made it out alive.When Johannes came back he wasn't completely verbal and would scream in the middle of the night due to nightmares.We helped him and he started making progress when he got a letter from a little girl imprisoned at the death camp thanking him for helping her.

1945-present day:We went to Woodstock and for the first time,people actually thought it was cool that I was married to a Native American woman.We also went on Martin Luther King's march to Washington,though not on the same day.Fast forward a lot and just months ago,Hannah was sick.This was worrisome because vampires don't get sick,we had a witch in the clan check her out in case there was something weird humans shouldn't see,and as it turns out,all it meant was that I'm going to be a dad on July 15.We moved here and used our real names because anyone who knew me back in 1896 is dead or also supernatural.
