The Accursed Bloods - A were creature RP (Recruitment/OOC) - REDONE!!!

[SxyCowgirl]

The basic story:

Though rare, there are a number of Accursed Bloods scattered around the world. These Accursed Bloods have found they possess the power to turn into a creature that best reflects their personality. Some may be 'normal' creatures like cats, birds, snakes, deer, horses and the like, while others are of mythical stature like dragons, harpies, unicorns, pegasi, and even demons. Some have been discovered and now every one of them is being hunted down. Finding each other, they band together to fight the onslaught. Each were creature has a human form, a morph form (halfway between human and animal), and an animal form.

[SxyCowgirl]

Username: SxyCowgirl
Character Name: Rosa Liluit (LIE-loo-it)
Age: a couple hundred years, lost count after 100
Gender: Female
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 113 lbs
Occupation: Thief/Mercenary/Assassin
Accursed Creature: Dragon
Appearance: Like this with longer hair in human form.
Like this, as a morph and in dragon form. Imagine the morph form like that but with long dark hair and the same colors as the larger dragon.

Personality: Calm, cool and collected at times, hotheaded at others, stubborn, brutally honest, strong, romantic, and not easily trusting of others

History: Born and raised in Italy, Rosa learned at a young age of her powers. Not only did she learn of them, but so did many others. She was greatly feared and was hunted for many years, until a knight from France declared he had slain her, showing a pelt of colored scales, the same color as hers. Truly he had found a true dragon and had slain it and she had taken it's place in it's cave for many many years. Now she has learned from the other animals she shared the cave with, that other Accursed Bloods had been discovered. Leaving the cave in the middle of the night, she has flown in her full-form to New York, where the largest number of Accursed Bloods are said to have been discovered.

Other: Her powers become useless on nights of new moons, leaving her at her most vulnerable. In her 'normal'/human form, she can be faster than normal humans and stronger, but only for short periods of time.

Chapter 1:

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Birds sang loud and clear as the sun rose slowly over the hills and valleys that lay far below the entrance to the cave. The sky painted yellow and orange grew ever lighter and the bird song ever clearer and more jubilant. It was Spring, and a long awaited one at that. It had been a hard long Winter and it was time for the world to awake and renew itself. Warm rays peeked through the branches, glinting off something blue within the cave.

Feeling the warm rays of sun upon her back, Rosa stirred, lifting her head to look out towards the entrance of the cave. It was still the beginning Spring and though the snow had long melted, the nights were still nicely chilled. Standing, her scales gleaming in the fiery light of the dawn, she shook herself and stretched her wings. She moved gracefully to the entrance of the cave, allowing the light of morning to engulf her and begin to warm her.

As she stood on the ledge, a fox in it's transitional coat trotted quickly up the slope towards her, a smile upon its face. She turned her head slowly to look at it and smiled.

"Hello Derna. It is good to see you again. How was the winter hunting?" Rosa asked, the fox meeting her on the ledge.

"Sparse, but livable. As usual." Derna said, sitting and curling her tail around her. "I bring news for you. I heard it from a little friend."

Rosa chuckled, closing her eyes, a deep rumbling laugh. "And by little friend, I can assume you mean a bird you ate or intended to eat."

"I can never get one past you can I?" The fox asked, chuckling as well a high barking he he he. "She said there has been events across the sea. Many people dying of unknown causes." She said, narrowing her eyes, a sly grin across her light red face.

Rosa frowned and considered Derna's words for a moment before responding. "And this is important?"

"Oh very much so. You see, there are birds who have seen the deaths." Again the fox paused, waiting for a reaction from the great blue dragon.

Getting a little impatient, Rosa glared at her. "If you have something to say, say it. Enough with the games." She half growled, her wings twitching in agitation.

Her smirk widening at the impatient reaction from Rosa, and waited for a few more moments before continuing. "They say it was a beast. Not human, not animal." Derna half whispered to Rosa, her sharp white teeth showing in her devious grin.

At that, Rosa's ears perked forward and she straightened up. Beast. Like me. There are others....like me?! She thought. "Where?" She blirted quickly and rather loudly, startling the fox into standing.

"In a city called New York. A place of high buildings and horrid smells." She said, wrinkling her nose. "At least that's what my breakf--I mean 'friend' told me."

Stepping closer to the edge of the cave, Rosa turned back and smiled at the fox. "Thank you Derna! Thank you!" She said, stepping to the edge of the cliff and preparing to leap.

"WAIT!" Derna yelled, running right up next to the dragon. "There is more. The killings are not random."

Rosa stopped and looked at the fox, puzzled. "What do you mean?"

"They were beasts as well. Or ones who knew of beasts." This time, the she-fox was frowning in concern. "If you go, please do be careful. I don't like it."

"Thank you Derna. I will be cautious. You have been so good to me over the years and I will ask you but one more thing, please take care of my cave until I return." Though she knew her request would be difficult for just the fox to handle, Derna knew many others who would be willing to come to her aid should she need it.

"I will go to this New York and I will warn the others like me of what you have said. Thank you." And with that, she spread her wings and leaped from the ledge, the wind catching her and propelling her forwards.

I must find the others like me! I will. I have always been alone, felt alone. It's time to find out what else is out there.

[Grimmwolf]

Username: Grimmwolf
Character Name: Isaac "The Archangel" Dellos
Age: 23
Gender:Male
Height: 5'4"-12'9"-25'2"
Weight: 145
Accursed Creature: Basilisk
Occupation: Sushi Chef,  Part time assassin
Appearance:
Human
Naga
Snake
Full Basilisk
Personality: Outgoing, very dominant, analytical, precise, business oriented
History: Hidden deep in Finland, Isaac was a prisoner since birth, being a child that was injected with the venom of a Basilisk. Though instead of dying, his DNA merged with the mighty serpent's, creating something new, something dangerous. Over the years, his captors began to train him in the art of assassination and turned him into a living weapon. After the age of 15, Isaac had already soiled his hands with hundreds of innocents. He grew tired of being a slave, and decided turn and escape. He soon found himself in New York, in the back of a Japanese Restaurant as a dish washer, then spent several years training under the sushi chefs, becoming one himself. He still did assassinations, but only for a large sum of money.
Other: He wears sunglasses constantly, pretending to be blind because his staring into his eyes can paralyze a person, in his Basilisk form, he can turn people to stone. In all forms, he has unusually long canines that produce a deadly venom, first effecting the motor functions, then stops the muscles, then the lungs, and finally the heart.

[SxyCowgirl]

Accepted. :)

[Starlequin]

Hey hey, welcome back, Sxy! Good to see this one going again, it had much potential the last time. Hope it garners enough interest.

[SxyCowgirl]

Thanks. I've been around though. Doing more 1 on 1's than anything, but still around. :) I hope so too. And I hope you join again.

[Starlequin]

I just might at that. Maybe I'll bring back whatshisface,  the bat.

[SxyCowgirl]

That would be perfectly fine with me. :)

[Starlequin]

Username: Starlequin
Character Name: Val Marlar
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 185 lbs
Accursed Creature: Common Vampire Bat (Desmodus rotundus)
Occupation: Part-time writer, pickpocket

Appearance: A tall, slender fellow with dark brown hair that seems almost crimson in bright sunlight, smoke-gray eyes, and very pale skin. Living on crumbs in the city has ensured Val doesn't have much opportunity to gain weight, and running through back alleys and subways from angry people who realize they've unwillingly contributed to his finances makes for excellent exercise.

Morph-form

Personality: Very articulate, possessed of a sharp mind and sticky fingers. Cocky and charismatic while in the presence of others, Valentine often exhibits almost crushing self-doubt when alone. He's been walking a high-wire act for years, and he knows it's only a matter of time before the winds come.

History: Val was born in a little nowhere town in south Mississippi, and despite having lived in New York for almost seven years his accent still slips through now and then. He never knew his parents, and was raised in a strict religious orphanage. The day he turned 18, they threw him out and he struck out for New York, having no better ideas. When he reached the city he spent most of his time wandering the streets, visiting libraries and museums; as a result, though he lacks any formal college education he is self-educated to a respectable level. To get by, he works for a few local news rags churning out articles and editorials, and lifting the occasional wallet or pocketbook.

It was during his ninth year at the orphanage that he discovered his ability to shapeshift. Some of the older, crueler girls were picking on him, and before long he had shifted into his morph-form and frightened them away. The ferocity of his form terrified them so much that one's hair turned almost solid white, and another refused to speak for nearly a year. Afterward, the nuns who ran the orphanage kept him under watchful eyes, leaving him little opportunity to master his abilities until he escaped their custody. He hasn't heard anything about others like him gathering in the city, but with his fingers on the city's pulse he knows something is coming...

Other: Val has an affinity for underdone meat, and his senses are exceptionally sharp. He is capable of full flight in both his morph- and animal-forms. His thick, leathery wings offer minor protection from violence in his morph-form, and his physical appearance is often enough to send many attackers away screaming in terror.

[SxyCowgirl]

Accepted. :)

[SxyCowgirl]

Anyone else like to join? We still need a bunch more people.

[Kevben Battleheart]

I shall have a CS up later today if all goes well and I'm not distracted >.>

[SxyCowgirl]

Looking forward to it.

Come on guys, we need more players, preferably rather active members!

[dready]

Username: dready
Character Name: Corgel Albreck (Core-gel Al-Brick)
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 145 lb
Accursed Creature: Komodo Dragon
Occupation: Chef Assistant
Appearance: (will be drawing them~)

Personality: Apathetic towards ordeals that do not consider him that he does not want to involve himself with, intelligent and perceptive but only when focused, paranoid towards coincidental circumstances, likely to punch a robber than give them his money, loyal to those he has befriended, amusement seeking (aka easily bored) and simple minded in his goals.

History: Born ocean side but raised in the backwater bar-towns of Wisconsin, Corgel grew up with minimal knowledge to his latent abilities or even species. His parents divorced early in his childhood, and had moved earlier than such to the central-northern state, where he grew to be a healthy young adult. He is the youngest of his family, and during his last years in high school he was on the verge of being the second out of four in his immediate family who would graduate by more than the skin of their teeth, or at all. Immediately after graduation, he enrolled in a culinary school in the heart of New York City, with his proud parents backing him on the loans. Taking the three year cram-courses, he graduated on schedule with a Bachelor's degree in the Culinary Arts, and now works as a chef in a restaurant bordering Central Park.

Other:
- His only 'powers' that he knows of are his higher than average sense of taste, and that he's only been sick a total of twice in his life.
- Lives in an apartment downtown, and will either get a ride from a friend or walk instead of taking the subway or a bus.
- He has been keeping up to date with the seemingly random killings ever since his grandparents were involved as victims.
- Highly dislikes people who waste food, and complain about being hungry later.
- Will openly cook for a friend or coworker, and will often take a date home and make them dinner from scratch.
- Has a fascination with reptiles, and tends to behave similarly in cases of sun bathing, sticking the tip of his tongue out, and general sense of apathy.
- He was once mugged during college, and took classes for self defense, mixing tai kickboxing and wooden monkey together. One was instructed, the other was copied from martial arts films. (Bet you can't guess which)
- He does not own a car, but is currently saving up for one.
- Keeps his place and belongings clean, almost to an OCD mannerism.

[SxyCowgirl]

Very nice. :) Welcome to The Accursed Bloods.

[Trost]

Username: Trost
Character Name: Aras
Age: 22
Gender:   Female
Height:  5'6
Weight:   43lbs (due to her accursed creature)
Accursed Creature: Philippine Eagle
Occupation: Whatever she feels like doing
Appearance: Picture being drawn
Personality:  Being a bird, Aras needs her freedom. She is constantly seen in her eagle form, flying around and bides by her own rules. Strong-willed, determined, and stubborn she is very prideful. She rarely builds friendships or loyalties to others because she feels like the weight of responsibility will only drag her down. Though when she does bind a loyalty to others, she is loyal  to a fault and protective. Because she is often alone, she has learn to be independent and street smart. She has a sharp, ferocious personality but never disrespectful to others (unless disrespected first).
History:   I actually build the history as I go along. Is that ok?
Other: Aras is a master with projectile weapons: mainly daggers and a fancy shuriken weapon that looks like talons (got to draw it). Hand her a tossable pointy thing and it turns into the ultimate killing contraption.

[SxyCowgirl]

Accepted! Welcome to The Accursed Bloods. :)

[SxyCowgirl]

Hey Trost, it appears that you didn't read the full first post. I just recently added a few things, but I know for a fact that you missed these things:

"Before posting where you're coming in, please discuss it here."
"Please read other people's profiles so we don't have more than one of the same exact animal and/or career/job."

I would ask you to talk about how our characters will meet and then edit your post accordingly. Thank you.

[Starlequin]

Speaking of which, I believe Val will be making an entrance tonight. Just a quick headsup, in case you've got something of your own in mind, Sxy. Will be posting later with deets.

[SxyCowgirl]

Should talk about your post before actually doing so.
I'm sorry but what killed the last thread was the lack of unity between all members. I only want one person introduced into the story at a time. It's difficult enough to convince ONE person to join a cause, it's worse trying to convince MANY at one time.

[Starlequin]

Ah, right. I'm with you. Then would you rather I continue to hold off?

[SxyCowgirl]

Yes please. And I wish there was a way to contact Trost.....I really need to talk to them about their post................

[dready]

I'm not really planning on Corgel meeting up with the others yet, but he'll start experiencing some 'coincidences' that will put him on edge. As for now, just treat him like a npc within the parameters of his personality.

[SxyCowgirl]

If that's what you want, you can make a branch thread. I'm sorry, but I don't want to have to try to keep up with too many people or events in the main rp. I would like each person to start by somehow meeting my character or Grimm's character. Not only is Grimm's character second in command, but he is as well for this rp. I'm sorry if this is an inconvenience, but I do NOT want this rp to die prematurely. With too many stories going on at once, things just get too complicated and out of hand because I'll be trying to round everyone up at once.

If you don't want to make a branch thread, you can just add your own character's stories/chapters to your character's profile under the "hidden" thing (I'll put an example or two in my own profile soon).

[Trost]

I'M SO SORRY!! I totally misunderstood that part! I thought it meant something else! Please ignore my post. In fact, I can delete it if I can. Sxy, Dready, and everyone I'm so sorry for the inconvenience.

I haven't RP-ed like this before so please bare with me if I mess up. =/ So are we just supposed contact another RP-er every time we want them to meet up?

[SxyCowgirl]

No. It's just that I want to be untied in this RP. If too many people post at once, it's difficult to keep track of everyone. What I'm looking for is for people to not be off on their own. I want the introduction (first) posts to be when the character meets either Rosa or Isaac for the first time.

If you want to have a pre-meeting story, feel free to add it to your profile or make a branch thread (the first is recommended). But I don't want those kinds of posts in the actual rp. The last thread was killed by a lack of unity. Don't forget, my character is only one character and so is Grimm's character only one, and so we can not be everywhere at once where we would need to be.

Another reason I don't want posts of things before the character meets Rosa or Isaac is because I WILL be using this in my book, and weeding out all of the pre-meeting replies would just be WAY too time consuming. This way, it'll be easier for me to convert to actual story form. Make sense?

[Lilitu]

Username: Lilitu
Character Name: Syrinx
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Height: 5'2
Weight: 105lbs
Accursed Creature: Mouse
Occupation: Lab mouse
Appearance: Pearly skin, long whispy white hair, pale blue eyes, thin, little pink lips and big eyes.
Personality: Shy and quiet. Very easily startled but slightly goofy when she opens up.
History: She was raised in a group home because her parents left the house one day and never came back. When she discovered she could turn into a mouse, she ran away from the group home and was captured by scientists and kept in a lab for experiments. Now free, she finds herself wandering homeless.
Other: One of the last experiments she went through was bio-luminescence. So as a side effect her skin has a tendency to glow.

[Trost]

Noooo problem, m'dear. I'll just sit tight until you or Grimm are available. And just for future reference: are we going to have to confirm all the time with someone if we want to meet up, or is that just for first meetings? (e.g.- If I meet up with your character and they go seperate ways for a moment, would I need to talk with you in order for them to meet up again?)

And is there anything else I need to know before I mess up again? <_<  >_>

[dready]

I've never been good with writing a separate storyline for a single character before, and I keep track of my rp's by viewing which ones have been replied to. Bookmarks get lost pretty easily for me somehow.

It is indeed for first time meetings only, though please try not to "scoobie doo" or split up too much. I want to story to be centered around Rosa and Isaac mostly, the only time(s) the rp will split off from them is when the bad guys come into play. :)

It's quite alright. In fact, preferred if you don't post on your own too too much. Posts in which Rosa and/or Isaac are not involved shouldn't be too too long or crazy. Minor events such as spotting a bad-guy scout or something are fine, but major events such as a beating and/or capturing should be discussed here first.

[Trost]

*nodnod* Understandable. Especially since you want to make this into a story. It is yours to control, SO! *salutes* Trost, reporting for duty, ma'am. Where would you like me?

[Grimmwolf]

Actually, I think it may be time to bring in another character already... lol

[Trost]

Alrighty. If there isn't anyone else before me, I wouldn't mind starting. Whats the conditions for the post?

[Grimmwolf]

Unfortunately, because it is Sxy's story, She'll have to decide, but we could probably get Star in, then we'll see where to go from there, because Star has been waiting since the beginning... lol

[SxyCowgirl]

I agree with Grimm. Star was in the first one with me and I think they should post first. Though it depends on when. Right now it is the night time so the bat should fit in real nice but star would have to talk to us about it as well.

OH! I totally forgot! The accursed bloods are attracted to each other like magnets. If there is another one nearby, they can feel them even if they don't know what it is. :)

[Starlequin]

Im good with either entering the fray next or letting one of the others step in first; there's something ive  been sorta itching to write since one of Isaac's earlier posts, and id like to get it down before Val meets them for  real. And  Sxy, I swear I'll try to keep Valentine from cowboyin' off on his own like last time, lol; I'm pretty sure that had a lot to do with killing the game the first time. He's still gonna take some wranglin' though...wouldn't want it too easy, would you? Hehe.

[dready]

OH! I totally forgot! The accursed bloods are attracted to each other like magnets. If there is another one nearby, they can feel them even if they don't know what it is. :)

Would explain why Corgel was on the train that night.

[Trost]

You can go ahead first Star, I have no problem with it. Now that I know what's going on, I don't mind being patient. If a chance arises for my character, then I'm sure Sxy or Grimm will let me know. Haha. In the meantime, I'll keep reading the RP and throw out a suggestion for Aras if I get any ideas.

[Starlequin]

Will do, then. I'll discuss with our fearless leader and get something down ASAP.

[SxyCowgirl]

Maybe your character can run into us outside of the shop. When we walk outside we can possibly see each other and I approach you or something. What do you think?

[Trost]

Maybe your character can run into us outside of the shop. When we walk outside we can possibly see each other and I approach you or something. What do you think?

This is for Star, Sxy?

[SxyCowgirl]

Yes it is Trost. I'm not quite sure how or when your character will join. Similar to rl if that respect. Haha.

[Starlequin]

On second thought, I'm gonna go ahead and skip that earlier intro I wanted to write; I don't really think it would bring anything worthwhile into the game. So I'll just bring Val into contact a little more directly. Still, just walking out of a shop and running into each other sounds a little too simple, neh? So I'm gonna add a little....flair, hehe...I'll have it up in a few hours, but ill  leave it open for either Grimm or Sxy to respond.

[Grimmwolf]

Perhaps we could meet her at the party that Isaac is catering for, she could be modeling for something, or someone's plus one.

[Tamhansen]

If it's still possible I'd like to join as well, the concept seems really interesting.

Character:

Username:Katataban
Character Name: Ryu (Ree-ooh) Valmont (assumed name)
Age: unknown, but at least 65
Gender:Male
Height: 6'11"
Weight:150
Accursed Creature: Bengal Tiger
Occupation:  Foreign news correspondent
Appearance: Not allowed to link but pic is at ifs.zulufleet.net/ryu.jpg
Personality: Haughty, a little arrogant. But when you get close to him he turns out to be caring and protective. He is a little chauvinistic
History:Ryu's birthday is unknown as he was orphaned at a really young age, when his village was massacred during the Chinese revolution. He was found by a Tibetan family and raised as one of theirs. When Ryu went through adolescence, he found that the changes to his body were not quite like those of the other boys. When his family found out what was happening to him, they thought he was a demon and tried to kill him. He defended himself on instinct awakening to find his family dead at his hands. He fled south into India, where he met a Bodhisattva (a person both striving for enlightenment as well as guiding others toward it) The Bodhisattva, named Ragesh taught Ryu that he was a creature of nature like any other, not a demon. Ryu stayed with Ragesh for years. however his slowed aging meant he had to hide. In 1990 Ragesh passed away, and Ryu ventured into the world on his own. His slow aging forces him to lead a transient lifestyle, changing jobs often, and relationships can never really last. So far he's worked among other things as a muay Thai boxer, truck driver, logger, drugscourier and sailor on a freighter. Now he's working as a foreign correspondent for the British BBC news service.



I hope this is OK

I hope this is OK

I like the character, but there are a couple of problems:
1) I can not open the link. Just put the full url and it should be fine, it doesn't have to link to it.
2) Be a bit more realistic about his age. The reason MY character is so old is because she is a DRAGON. Even Isaac, who is a basilisk, is not that old. Now I may not be too familiar with how long tigers live, but somehow I have a feeling that if you were a 90 year old tiger, you wouldn't be able to move quite so gracefully.

Other than those, I like the character very much. :)

Oh sorry. I'm used to Zoanthropes having an extended lifespan, as they do in most settings. In this case I'll do a rewrite asap

Thank you. And sorry for the confusion.

Hey guys, can we pick this back up again? I REALLY don't want this one to die too. XP

I don't think we'be forgotten it, Cowgirl; I was just giving Grimm time to post. I'll have something new  soon, hopefully tonight.

[SxyCowgirl]

Alright. I was kinda bumping it a bit. :P Haha.

*waves* Figured this might be a wise place to drop this guy off, do tell me if there are any problems with it so as I can fix them.
If hes cool then I look forward to RPing with you all.

Username: Drunkentarget
Character Name: Rami Wardtell
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Height: 5’7’’
Weight: 160
Accursed Creature: Jumping spider (Plexippus paykulli) *link provided below*
Occupation: computer repair man, casual College student (mythology) and occasional information gatherer.
Appearance: Rami is a man of Caucasian decent with dark brown hair going to the nape of his neck and green eyes. He is has the pallor of an office lackey and sports two puckered scars on the right side of his chest. His lifestyle as a semi-vagabond results in a weather look for the clothing he manages to keep, for the most part though he tends to look completely out of place in the clothing he manages to be borrow or steal.

Rami’s hybrid form is a walking horror of limbs and eyes, his limbs elongate and darken reaching nearly twice the reach of his human body. His hair gains a distinctive set of three white stripes and additional eyes appear in the same pattern as his “animal” form.
Saw-like chitin and brown hair covers most of his body and while he retains the ability to speak it is in a rasping whisper. His form becomes hunched and he gains two additional sets of legs.
There is also the fact that he shrinks to about three and a half feet tall when he changes, still terrifying though.
A terrifying bastard child of Jurogumo and Yoda, as he describes himself.

Personality: even headed and logic focused Rami has honed his minds razor over years. Self assured in the fields he knows Rami will not argue to those he feels are wrong, he will just ignore them or circumvent them instead. He also prides himself on his intellect and loves to know things, which makes transformations that break the rules of science irritating to him. With a  humor black as a news anchors coffee and the bad habit of stereotyping others on first impressions Rami also tends to get himself into jams of asking forgiveness rather than permission.

History: Rami lived in a trailer park in north Dakota for most of his adolescent years his social life was one of limited peers and a desperate need for acceptance, when one of his cousins left their high power laptop with him accidentally he devoured the workings and craved the easy connections and open information of the internet.
Rami discovered his transformational ability at the hands of a near miss from a truck, the driver was likely incredibly confused to find a pile of freshly abandoned clothes when he was sure he had hit someone.
Rami has made it his life mission to find out more about why he is the way he is, there has to be something behind it all, there is no other logical way for this impossible ability of changing into another creature is reasonable.
Rami is currently traveling in hopes to learn more about his unique condition.

Other: Rami's spider form is under 1cm long, he isn't invisible but by no means is he a large spider.

Links, as they are long and I don't seem to be allowed to use the hyperlink text to shorten them.

Accepted. :) Welcome to TAB!

[Drunkentarget]

so, is this going to get moving soon?
I don't know what the normal is on this forum. However in comparison to past forums I've been on waiting four days for someone to post is glacially slow.

[SxyCowgirl]

Yes, I know it is. I apologize. I am not sure when the next post will be...

[Starlequin]

Um...sorry. heh, I'll get a post up either tonight or tomorrow. Sxy, if you like, since Val is gonna go off on his own for a bit, maybe now would be a good opportunity to bring in an another character, keep the momentum from fading too much? Maybe dready, or Trost's character could come in while Valentine is off  getting his ass kicked, lol.

[Lilitu]

So... about me joining; is it possible?

Good idea. Though when it comes to the ass-kicking, please try and keep it to a post or two. That way other people don't think it's alright to start fully scooby-doing. Little side things are alright as long as they have significance enough. When you finish the beating, and your character decides to try finding us again, please don't go through everything they do to find them again, you can just have them more or less appear by them.

So... about me joining; is it possible?

Yes, it is my dear. :) What are you thinking of being?

[Grimmwolf]

And this roleplay is dead.

[MadnessChi1d]

I don't know if this is still accepting, if it is I would like to submit:

Username: MadnessChi1d
Character Name: Nicholas "Nick" MacCannon
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Height: 6' 2"
Weight: 187 Lbs.
Accursed Creature: Great White Wolf (As big as an English Mastiff, but looks bigger because of all of the fur.)
Occupation: Free lance small job construction worker.
Appearance: Nick is the classic tall dark and handsome football star, and all around cool guy. His skin tone suggests a Hispanic or Native American lineage. He has pitch black hair which he keeps cropped short and bright golden/ yellow eyes.
Personality: Nick is generally nice and prefers to earn his keep, he is deeply loyal and prone to mental lapses in which he perceives many false threats against one of his friends or family members.
History: He was adopted by a family with a small military history into a small town community, his school years showed a promising career in sports. He has a nagging conscience which would never let him forget a debt. After his father died he went into a mental lapse which saw him out of home and school. After he recovered a few of his close school friends and his sister helped him get up on his feet and he started doing some odd job repairs and renovations around the community.
Other: His mental lapses are brought on by conflicting pride and loyalty.











*Crosses fingers and hopes to the great beyond*
