the vampire council of san fran is listed out below. they report directly to the world leaders, @devante and @esmeralda .
other positions and canons can be added - pm me with details.
head council
NAME ,, atticus auric.
AGE ,, 4500ish.
SPECIES ,, vampire.
ABILITIES ,, up to you.
POSITION ,, head council member of san fran vampire faction.
FAMILY ,, married to artemis auric. father of orion.
PERSONALITY ,, loyal, supreme, manipulative, harsh, cocky at times.
INFO ,, atticus is a close friend of devante and esmeralda lockwood. it is likely the lockwoods turned them into vampires, or perhaps he was there when the firsts were created...during the plague. he has always been a vocal loyalist to the lockwoods and was first in command in the world council. when the ashmores began to wreak havoc on san francisco, some twenty-something years ago, devante requested atticus and artemis go to san fran to put them in their place. they stripped the young vampires of their power and took them as prisoners where they tortured them for many years. atticus follows a very strong vampire code which he and his wife enforce upon everyone. his rules are as follows: respect all elders, reproduce only with pure vampire blood, preserve vampire bloodlines, do not fraternize with other species, and turn only those worthy of immortalization. there are obviously others, but he holds these laws to the highest of standards, wanting only pure vampire blood in the world. he has been known to take out or kill those who are unfaithful or unappreciative of what they are.

head council - taken
NAME ,, artemis auric.
AGE ,, 4500ish.
SPECIES ,, vampire.
ABILITIES ,, up to you.
POSITION ,, head council member of san fran vampire faction.
FAMILY ,, married to atticus auric. mother of orion.
PERSONALITY ,, loyal, motherly, bitchy, manipulative, brave.
INFO ,, whether she was with atticus during the making of the originals or if she came into the picture later is totally up to you. she's extremely loyal to the lockwoods and her husband alike. i think once she was a warrior, fierce and strong but now she's regal and serves her position on the council well. she is always at her husband's side and ensures no decisions are made without her at the table. artemis was proved to be rather infertile and had only one child, orion. she wanted many to carry on her legacy and struggles with that hurdle. she's been known to hate/not show mercy on those who have large families and take them for granted. she is just as brutal as attitcus in her thinking that vampires are the purest of races and the ones that should be at the top of the world. when appointed to san francisco, she helped see to it personally that the ashmores were brought down...mostly because she was jealous of their large family. she tends to act as a motherly figure[ironically, not to her own son] and takes care of those like a mother does a child. additionally, she's turned plenty of people she saw worthy, making them refer to her as mother.

former council member
NAME ,, orion auric.
AGE ,, up to you, obviously younger than his parents.
SPECIES ,, vampire.
ABILITIES ,, up to you.
POSITION ,, former vampire council member.
FAMILY ,, son of atticus and artemis auric.
PERSONALITY ,, has a good heart, helpful, self sufficient, can be goofy.
INFO ,, orion was given a chance to rise to power alongside his parents. they were incredibly hard on him growing up but his mother still showed him a great deal of love. all they wanted was for him to be as loyal and honest as them...and of course, see vampire as the supreme race. unfortunately, that wasn't his line of thinking. he wanted to be just and fair and spread equality, not just to vampires, but to everyone. he was caught helping another species out of situation where the council was to execute them and for that, he himself was nearly executed. atticus arranged the date of his beheading but before it could come, artemis set her son free while telling him she hoped he died out in the world and that she had only freed him to clear her conscience. since them, he's been out int he world and is ready to come back and face his parents.
PB ,, patrick stump, scott eastwood, jim sturgess, avi kaplan, garrett hedlund, negotiable.
council member - reservedNAME ,, romulus.
AGE ,, under 4000.
SPECIES ,, vampire.
ABILITIES ,, up to you. something that is opposite his brother.
POSITION ,, vampire council member.
FAMILY ,, brother to remus.
PERSONALITY ,, can be cocky but has a great heart, brave, loyal, smart, level headed.
INFO ,, romulus is one of two twins found by artemis after she cast her own son out of the household. she found the boys as mere infants and rescued them. she named them remus and romulus after the famous roman twins that were fed from a wolf. however, these two were not fed from a wolf but blood. when they were discovered, they were ready to be murdered. why? a farmer found the two infants feeding off their caregiver, having attacked and drained them dry. with the disgrace of losing orion heavy in her mind, she immediately grew attached to these two and raised them herself. romulus is the "good" twin in the sense he has taken after atticus. he doesn't necessarily believe in killing other species without a reason, but he is loyal as hell and does everything he can to defend the council and his race. he's fought in wars and will do whatever he needs to to defend the honor of his people. he sits at the high table with his "parents" and helps them make important decisions. the auric's don't go out in the world much so he more or less acts as their eyes and ears around the city. while his official title is just a a council member, he should be something more like 'head of damage control'. whenever there's an issue, he's the one that cleans it up quickly and quietly, without sketchy secrets or hiding things.
PB ,, adam levine, henry cavill. negotiable.
council member
NAME ,, remus.
AGE ,, under 4000.
SPECIES ,, vampire.
ABILITIES ,, up to you. something the opposite of his brother.
POSITION ,, council member.
FAMILY ,, brother to romulus.
PERSONALITY ,, manipulative, cocky, sadistic.
INFO ,, see above, romulus. just like his brother, he was raised under the watchful eye and loving grace of artemis. but where romulus took the good qualities of his adoptive father, remus took on the manipulative ones of his adoptive mother. he follows the vampire law to a tee, but also makes up his own rules as he goes. he likes to push people around and throws the 'do you know who i am' card around a lot. he tends to spill a little more blood than necessary but artemis covers it up for one of her very favorite children, chalking it up to his desire to make her proud. when a question of torture is involved, he's always the first to be involved. he not only helped with the torture of cyrus birch but all of the ashmore clan.
PB ,, alexander skarsgard.
council member
NAME ,, up to you.
AGE ,, under 4000.
SPECIES ,, vampire.
ABILITIES ,, up to you.
POSITION ,, vampire council member - detective.
FAMILY ,, up to you.
PERSONALITY ,, witty, intelligent, motivated.
INFO ,, this lady acts as a detective for the council. she's a pure blooded vampire but didn't initially know what she was. when she came of age, she began attacking people which put her on the council's radar. they discovered how great she was with tracking and snooping and gave her an opportunity to work off her injustices. rather than kill or punish her for dropping so many bodies, she served her time as a detective-type for the council. eventually, her time was up and she ended up sticking around, just because she didn't have any place else to go. it was then that she became a full council member, compete with decision making privileges. she doesn't always agree with the aurics but always gives her two cents. she looks into vampire-related cases, working to cover up their species from the mortal world and also brings in those who are a danger to their society.
PB ,, anna silk. negotiable.
council member - takenNAME ,, up to you.
AGE ,, up to you, under 4000.
SPECIES ,, vampire but has seer properties.
ABILITIES ,, up to you.
POSITION ,, vampire council member - judge.
FAMILY ,, sired by artemis. other info up to you.
PERSONALITY ,, wise, contemplative, guarded.
INFO ,, this lady lives a very complicated life. she's older and has lived with the pain of what she is for many, many years. she definitely doesn't love that she's a vampire and therefore, tries to prevent new vampires from coming into existence. before the council got a hold of her, she was acting as a vampire hunter[despite being one herself]. the council came across her and intended to kill her for putting down their kind but she revealed to them that she was a seer and could see the future. for that reason, they spared her life. eventually, she became a council member, offering up her gift of sight. she also acts as the 'judge', so to speak for the council. while the aurics have ultimate decision making powers, they often give a wrong doer to her, letting her decide the guilt of an individual. because of her hate for the monsters they are[and her desire to get rid of all vampires], she often votes for capital punishment, despite her kind heart.
PB ,, gemma arteron.
council member in training - taken
NAME ,, kieran [laurent] auric.
AGE ,, up to you. not super old.
SPECIES ,, halfbreed. [wiccan x vampire]
ABILITIES ,, necromancy abilities.
POSITION ,, council member in training.
FAMILY ,, raised by the auric's and the rest of the council. birth mother
PIPER ASHMORE & birth father below.
PERSONALITY ,, up to you. probably agrees with the aurics to a certain degree, having been raised by them.
INFO ,, kieran was born to piper and xander when piper was still part of the vampire council. when the power was ripped away from the ashmores, he was supposed to have been killed...that's what piper was led to believe. only, he wasn't killed. in her obsession with having her own children, artemis took the infant in under her wing, despite their laws to never accept halfbreeds. they concealed that the baby was a halfbreed, stating this child was not piper's/xander's but , another child. growing up, he was not as strong a vampire due to the wiccan within him. artemis and atticus often told him that he was sick and if he ever felt any bad feelings[magic] that he should fight them or risk being thrown out of the council, or worse. his entire life, he's thought he was the auric's child and a vampire. eventually, he's start realizing he has necromancy abilities that he won't be able to find. i was thinking he'd eventually reunite with piper and things would be okay for a while. maybe he'd even help to bring the council down. BUT, his training as a council member has taught him to never interact with other species. when he finds out his father is not only a wiccan but that his mother has fallen for a lycan, he'll lose his shit and become a danger to her and everyone else...even the council as he exposes the secret about him that they've been trying to hide from others.

bodyguard/bitch
NAME ,, xander laurent. [maybe going by a different name, up to you]
AGE ,, 500ish.
SPECIES ,, wiccan[necromancer]. maybe turned into a vampire/halfbreed.
ABILITIES ,, necromancy abilities.
POSITION ,, bodyguard/bitch to the aurics and entire vampire council.
PERSONALITY ,, sadistic, conniving, evil.
INFO ,, this is one bad dude. before atticus gained control over san fran, he hired xander to fall in love with piper. under this false pretense, he got her pregnant and was supposed to help bring her down from power, along with the other ashmores. he never actually loved her but was just playing the game as he was told to do. why he worked for the aurics is up to you. see, the aurics would never otherwise hire outside their race but they had something to blackmail xander with and needed someone who piper wouldn't suspect as a mole. when it finally came time to dethrone the ashmores, the council put on a public display of ripping xander's throat out. little did they know, the necromancy abilities of his brought him back to life three days later. it was all a stunt to further cripple piper. as for their son, the council took them under their wing and refused to let xander have anything to do with him. not a big deal - he didn't give two shits about kieran. see, he never loved piper and therefore, never wanted a child with that. that was more or less an oops. kieran has no idea who his real father is, despite the fact he sees him nearly every day. when the council realized he came back to life, they attacked him, turning him into a halfbreed. with his bond to his sire, he has no choice but to serve the aurics. he acts as a bodyguard to the entire council, making sure no one comes to take them out and take their reign. additionally, he does all the shit jobs that no one else wants to do. he grumbles about it and hates it, but doesn't have much of a choice.
