Meet the Crew: Vampire's Nest's fresh blood (beloved family)

Oliver Salieri and Skrilliant

"Vampire's Nest" and "Fangloria Engineering Inc." Owners and Founders

Vampire's Nest was founded in tandem with Fangloria Engineering Inc. in 1994 with the goal of bringing punk culture to the small town of Salem, California. Vampire's Nest is a warehouse music venue that celebrates all things countercultural. The ground level has a fully stocked bar catering to the undead and the living alike, run by Salem's finest mixologsts, Brick and Sophie of Nihil.

On the lower levels, Fangloria Engineering Inc. manufactures quality prank supplies and machinations dedicated to mayhem and gleeful destruction of property. It also functions as an avenue for Oliver to pursue their pet projects and creative endeavors. It operates twice a week with a staff of three (Oliver not included).

One level below the production floors lies the true Vampire's Nest; a cozy hovel of brick and concrete where the vampire polycule has taken up permanent residence.

Mimi the Boogeyman

They/them | Vampire | Employee since 1996

Vampire's Nest Venue Manager and Project Maestro

A silly and outgoing vampire, they were turned in 1996 and have been working at the Vampire's Nest ever since. They're a quick problem solver, and their efficient work style makes them a vital part of the Vamp's Nest ragtag crew. Work aside, most of the crew consider them a good friend despite their slightly naive attitude. Mimi enjoys sweets, breakcore, vocaloid, and arts and crafts.

Saren Carcass

She/they | Zombie | Employee since 2010

Vampire's Nest Venue Assistant and Project Executioner

Saren works as Mimi's underling in the Vampire's Nest. They're an excellent social networker with a great head for names and dates. While not on their job title, Saren can often be found in the front row when hardcore punk bands are performing. They're a natural hype-man, and with her and Mimi's energy working in tandem, Vamp's Nest performances are consistently legendary. Saren enjoys music (the harder the better), DnD, and lurking at the local mall.

Lillian Darvey

They/them | Warewolf | Employee since 2000

Fangloria Engineering Inc. - Research and Development Product Inspection Master

Lillian is a straightforward, experienced, by-the-books warewolf that kicks ass and takes names. Meticulously. Their personality can come off as cold and detatched, but they have a deep passion for working with their hands and their mind, a master of multitasking and efficiency. Oliver hired them for their blunt attitude and hasn't regretted it since; Lillian advises, corrects, and perfects many of Oliver's (and Fangloria Engineering's) work as a whole. They enjoy raw meat, cold weather, blues music, and sudoku.

Brick

They/xe | Zombie | Employee since 2011

Vampire's Nest Senior Bartender

Brick is an energetic, boistrous, shit-talking zombie who's good for a joke and takes pride in xir work. The picture of a stereotypical sitcom bartender, they've been working long enough to know everyone's usual orders AND the raunchy details of their personal lives, though they're not much of a gossip themself. In their off time, they enjoy mountain biking, watching TV, reading communist theory, and hanging out with their friends in nature.

Sophie of Nihil

She/her | Vampire | Employee since 2020

Vampire's Nest Junior Bartender

Sophie is a stony-faced, deadpan-loving vampire with a wry sense of humor a lot of folk don't pick up on. She initially only took the job for some extra cash on weekends, but she likes the crew and the business enough to stick around for a while. (You'd never get her to admit it, but she's also got a bit of a crush on Brick.) She enjoys novelty knicknacks, witchcraft, the occult, and cats.

Jonsey Mcbride

Xe/xir | Vampire | Employee since 2019

Vampire's Nest Janitorial Master

Outwardly quiet and impassive, Jonsey likes to focus on xir work more than socializing. This being the case, the Vampire's Nest is a VERY clean venue. Their closest work relationship is with Brick, who roped xem into hanging out a few times and has stuck around ever since. Jonsey has a keen interest in chemistry, 80's tech, cold war space exploration, and old movies.
