    The "SISTERS" are three beautiful, sexy, and extremely violent Vampire sisters. A number of short stories have previously run in issues of DECAY (the Mature Readers horror anthology) and the 'Sisters' proved to be very popular. They then received their own one-shot comic with a complete 28 page story in masterful detailed B&W art by Michal Dutkiewicz. The comic, with cover art by Frantz Kantor, was released exclusively at San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) in 2016 - the first ever Australian comic to be exhibited at SDCC and released as an SDCC Exclusive - signed & numbered to only 70 copies. A 'general' edition was released in Australia soon after.
    The one-shot comic is set in the hills outside of Melbourne, Australia, in 1881. Society's elite have been invited to a grand ball in a giant mansion, at night. The Sisters, wearing the latest French fashions, attend the ball, arriving in a horse drawn carriage. They are soon undressing in the magnificent upstairs marble bathroom and feeding upon the guests, using the bath tubs to collect torrents of blood which they then bathe in. However, a gang of bush rangers have also decided to gate crash the ball and rob the rich guests. Violence and carnage ensue when the bush rangers meet the Sisters.
    Although immortal and hundreds of years old, the Sisters look like they're in their early twenties. They are slender, sexy and beautiful, well kept. They always enjoy wearing high quality clothes, the latest fashions, and often strip naked when killing and eating, so as not to get blood on their precious clothes. Regan has a tinge of red in her brown hair. Mignon has a tinge of blonde in her brown hair. And Danikah  is a brunette.
    As they are immortal it gives plenty of options for stories to be set in various locations and times.
    The basic characteristics of the Sisters are based on the classic tradition of the triple goddess: the "Lover, Mother and Hag" (or "Maiden, Mother, Crone"). The "hag" character here is not a hag in the sense of being bent and ugly, but just in the sense that she has pure extreme hatred towards all humans.
    The girls don't have super powers, they don't turn into bats or anything else. They are stronger and fitter than normal with enhanced senses. They can't be killed with bullets, but multiple shots will definitely affect them. They recover from wounds quickly. They are at one with nature, having a strong bond with all animals. They can't control animals but the beasts do sense them and are willing to aid them if they can.
    The Sisters only come out at night. Daylight burns them. If they are weak then feeding will quickly give them strength.
    They do their best to keep their existence a secret from humanity and for the most part no one alive knows about them. Except for the German Uda family, which has been hinted at in a couple stories. In the upcoming one-shot comic, set in the 1880's, one of the Uda's first meets the Sisters and this sets of a family vendetta. The following generations of Uda's continue to secretly follow and hunt the Sisters. Again this has been hinted at in a couple stories.
    There will be no history changing events in any 'Sisters' stories. They generally avoid any historically significant people and events. They may have briefly met some of these people, but really only in passing.
    In the 'Christmas' issue of DECAY there were hints as to the beginnings of the Sisters and what happened to their parents. While only babies and infants they were taken from their parents and their parents then killed before their eyes. Danikah, the youngest, was only a baby at the time but has some small memories of the event and it has lead to her pure hatred of humans, more than the other two Sisters. The girls prefer to kill adults but will kill kids when pushed. They slaughtered a bus load of children in DECAY #13, but again it was hinted that they did this because one of them was particularly weak after a time of being hunted by the Uda family.
    In the "Sisters" universe there are, so far, no other Vampires or any other monsters or supernatural entities. It is pure straight human history with the
Sisters hiding in the shadows during the last 1000 years.
    To make it easy for artists, and to try and get some consistency from story to story, I have selected three models/actresses that the Sisters are to be based on, as listed below. (NOTE - the actual models/actresses themselves have absolutely nothing to do with the "Sisters". The characters are not a reflection of the ladies and no inferences of any kind should be made. Comic book characters will always end up looking like someone so I've just decided to use these three beautiful ladies as physical reference material only. If at any time the ladies want their likenesses removed I will do so immediately)

Regan - the "Mother" figure, the eldest sister, looks like Rachel Nichols. As the "Mother" type character she always has their best interests at heart, making sure they survive through the centuries without being revealed, always have food and shelter.
Mignon - the "Lover" figure, the middle sister, looks like Charlie Laine. As the "Lover" she is very sexy and flirtatious with both men and women. She is oversexed and just wants to have fun, to 'play with her food'.
Danikah - the "Hag" figure, the youngest sister, looks like Shyla Jennings. The "Hag" figure has a pure hatred of all humans: male, female, adults and the elderly, children and infants. She hates them all and just want to kill them all. Humans are just there for her to feed on.

Danikah arrives for a Christmas Feast, joining Regan and Mignon at their table, throwing down a mutilated man in a Father Christmas outfit on the table. They have a heated discussion and Danikah starts crying. We learn a little of their history here: they are over a thousand years old and had parents. Their parents were 'taken' from them when they were all infants and they were treated like monsters, not as children. Danikah, less than a year old at the time, was too young to remember their parents. This is what has lead to her resentment and pure hatred of humans. Christmas especially is always a bad time of year for her. The Sisters reconcile and start the 'feast'
