Greetings!

This roleplaying idea will be centering itself around the mercyverse and is currently up to date with the novels timeline, of course the roleplaying idea is based on the latest events, but the plot is unique and alternate to the plot of the books. The players will have the freedom to work with it as they want. I only ask that they keep their characters as close as possible to the canon qualities established for each race and to the rules that will be use in the game.

General Information
What is the 'Mercyverse' ?


       
  • The 'mercyverse' makes reference to the Mercy Thompson book series. The Mercedes Thompson Series is a compilation of urban fantasy novels written by Patricia Briggs. The novels follow the adventures of Mercedes (Mercy) Thompson, a Native American shapeshifter who was raised by Werewolves. The series is set in the Tri-Cities area of Washington state in an alternate world in which Werewolves and certain types of the fae have been forced to reveal themselves to the public.
Do I need to read the series to play in this game?

       
  • No, you do not need to read the series to play this game, because I will provide you with the necessary information to create your character, but also to understand the world we are going to play in.
What kind of races exist in this universe?

       
  • Different races, actually! It has were-wolves, vampires, witches, gentry folk (Fae), Walkers (Skin Walkers; usually Native American shape-shifters), and humans. Like the humans, each race has a code of conduct to follow and are under the protection of each of their leaders (Witches are tricky, but they still follow someone).
What time period and place is the game going to be played at?

       
  • The time period is our modern times. The place is going to be Las Vegas, Nevada and basically in Clark County. There are many plot reasons behind choosing Las Vegas. These reasons are: a) Vegas is barely mentioned in the books; this will give our players the necessary freedom of creating their characters without any problems. b) In Nevada, the second biggest fae reservation exists, which means it is going to be guarded Fae territory. This will help move our specific plot. c) The Vampire Seethe located in that area is unknown, but concerning to our plot, they should be rebuilding their hierarchy and marking their territory once more. d) The lovely human population and the intricate relationships the different races factions hold with them. e) There is a large community of Native American tribes, which means a large variety of Walkers. f) It is VEGAS.
Do I need to know anything about the place?

       
  • Not really. In the game there will be specific places were your characters can play. You will find in these threads pictures, maps, and most of all information concerning them. If that were to fail you, there will be wiki links in our information thread to give you even more information or you could also use google.
I'm interested, so... Where is the necessary character information you were just talking about?

       
  • Right here! The information has been updated accordingly to the current books!
Werewolve's Information
WEREWOLVES: (*Information taken from Patricia Briggs site! She is the whole mastermind behind this!)

Things Patty has said concerning the wolfs:
-->Wolf magic doesn't come from the moon, it's internal; part of what makes a werewolf a werewolf.
-->Originally the Weres were all Europeans, they came over with the rest of the immigrants


Werewolf information (General Behavior and the likes):
->They have a tendency to do well in the military and secret government agencies. This does not mean that all of them work for the government, some wolves have jobs as teachers/firefighters/Dentist/etc.

->Despite all the physical benefits they gain, the average lifespan of a werewolf from his first Change until his death is ten years (See below toward why they don't last long...In other cases this isn't true. If a human is more in control of it's werewolf then the person last longer).

->Most werewolves die in dominance fights with other werewolves (this is why most of them don't last long).

-> Werewolves' instincts are inconvenient--that's why they don't tend to live long (See).

->Werewolves are hot-tempered and aggressive, but they aren't of an evil nature.

->Some werewolves can tell if a person is lying (because they have overdeveloped their smell sense, which lets them take in the changes one person may have on their perspiration or scent).

->As werewolves age they gain abilities.

->Werewolves talk as if they and the wolves they shared their skins with were one; some werewolves had nothing more wolfish about them, even in wolf form, than a nasty temper and a need to kill things that ran from them.

->Wolves communicate well without words, it is all in the body movement.

->Werewolves, like their natural brethren, are territorial, and they don't share their hunting ground easily with other predators.

->Werewolves tend to lose their human halves when badly injured, but they can be recalled to themselves by a mate or by a more dominant wolf.

->Wolves are blunt creatures, mostly impatient with the soft-pedaling that the rest of the world considers politeness.

What does the werewolf look like?
->Werewolves usually have markings that are more dog-like than wolf-like.

->Werewolves are very densely muscled; they tend to have a difficult time swimming even if they want to, because, like chimpanzees, they have too much muscle and not enough fat to float.

->For all their size werewolves still resemble their graceful cousin the timber wolf more than the mastiff or Saint Bernard who are closer to their weight.

->Werewolves can run faster than greyhounds.

->Werewolves' front legs are built more like a bear's or a lion's than a timber wolf's/

->They aren't really built for running, they are built for fighting, and there is a deadly beauty to them that comes out only in battle.

->Cells repaired themselves and removed damage of age, disease and experience (they heal fast).

->Cannot be mistaken for wolves; much bigger and a lot scarier.

->They have strength; semi-retractable claws and inch long fangs.

->Werewolves don't like the heat.

->They are very good at sensing arousal; not just smells, but elevated temperature and increased heart rate.

->Arousal in werewolves tends to bring out the fighting instinct in all nearby males.

->To others they have a distinctive musk-and-mint scent.

When encountering a werewolf do this:
-> Werewolves respect bravado.

-> The trick with werewolves is to never confront them straight on.

-> Werewolves don't take to strangers well. So if you meet one try to introduce yourself nicely!

->Some werewolves can tell if a person is lying (this is because they have overdeveloped their smell sense which let them take in the changes one person may have on their perspiration or scent). So, never lie to a wolf!

->Showing weakness to another is a sign of trust.


If you want to survive a meeting with a werewolf...Don't do this:

-> Never make a werewolf feel cornered; a cornered wolf is a dangerous wolf.

->The trick with werewolves is to never confront them straight on.

->Fear brings violence out in the wolves.

->Never make eye contact with them if you are not ready to take up a fight. If you aren't as dominant as the wolf you are daring, then you could die.


How do you become a werewolf? (Information on the first change and shifting)

->Any person bitten by a werewolf doesn't turn into another werewolf; it takes an attack so vicious that the victim lies near death to allow the magic of the wolf to slip past the body's immune system.

->Most disabilities would be healed by the change.

->Most people don't survive the Change if they're already too sick.

->Usually when a wolf lives through the Change but doesn't survive his first year, it is because the human cannot control the instincts of the wolf.

->Werewolves can take as much as fifteen minutes to shift shape.

->Shifting is not easy or painless at the best of times, and it is worse without the aid of the moon's call (Full moon). The whole magic of shifting leaves them a bit grumpy for a couple of minutes afterward.

->Sometimes the shift helps werewolves heal faster; usually the shift from human to wolf but the other way works as well.

->Females don't survive the change as well as males that is why they aren't as many and they are treated as treasures.

----->Protocol about changing someone into a werewolf:
------->No one can be changed against their will.
------->Second is that no person may be Changed until they have been counseled and passed a simple test to demonstrate that they understand what that Change means.
------->There are occasional attacks by rogue werewolves; it is one of the duties of a pack to kill the rogues and find their victims.

The Effects of Silver:
->Werewolves scar with wounds caused with silver, if not treated fast.

->Prolonged exposure to silver increases sensitivity.

->Silver ammo makes wounds that don't heal fast; there is a chance of bleeding out.

->Silver is harder than lead, and the bullets sometimes blow right through and leave the wolf sick, in pain, and alive.


How to kill a werewolf:

->First and foremost, werewolves are too tough to die easily.

->There aren't many options for them to commit suicide.

->The first popular option to killed a werewolf is death by another werewolf.

->The second is drowning.

Pack Information:
->Packs sometimes take their public name from their leader; more often they find some geographical feature in their territory.

-> Packs usually settle in bigger areas where they can hide better, or, rarely, in smaller places where they can take over.

->Packs only moved into open territory or territory they had killed to take.

->The pack is always aware on some level of the other pack members; they know when one of their own was in distress; they know when one has died

->The average pack is 20-30 wolves; they fluctuate depending on how jobs and moving goes.

->Wolves are added into a pack by passing blood and flesh to a new member from the Alpha.

->Walkers are able to join werewolf packs.

->Traditionally packs are informed and introduced to those who intend to become members.

->As a member of a pack, one is all but immune to enthrallment from outside sources.

->Pack bonds are not built to subdue individuality to the Alpha or enforce behavior of any kind.

->A pack needs all its differences and they find strength in that.

->There are all sorts of protocols they insist upon when a new wolf comes into someone else territory.

--->COMPLEXITIES OF PACK DYNAMICS:

-->It is a matter of safety to always know where you rank in the pack.

-->Pack trouble stays within the pack.

-->Wolves are meant to run in a pack (this does not mean that lone wolfs don't exist).

-->A pack won't accept a wolf who causes too much trouble.

-->Wolves who can't control themselves are eliminated for the safety of the pack.

-->The werewolves are strongly discouraged to discuss the matter of being a werewolf with anyone other than permanent mates; punishment for disobedience is harsh.

-->Werewolves, outside of a well-run pack, will kill the wounded or weak.

-->Once in a pack, only the Alpha or the member can break it.

-->Pack law is necessarily brutal.

-->Packs are dictatorships; the Alpha makes the ruling and all must follow.

-->The 2nd and 3rd position in command of a pack-- in most cases the ranks are so close that there is always some tension between the wolves who held these, especially without the Alpha around.

-->Dominance among werewolves is a combination of force of personality, strength of will, physical ability and a component of other that can't be explained to anyone without the eyes, ears, and nose to sense it-and those with the proper senses wouldn't need it explained; willingness to fight is as close as it can be explained.

-->In the best of scenarios, an injured wolf will be protected by his pack mates.

THE MARROK


Name: Bran Cornick-> In the series. He is the oldest werewolf in the new world and possibly in the old world as well.

->He is made Alpha of all the Alphas and by the power of that, able to take on any other.

->Kills any werewolves who allow the wolf to lead and the man to follow; preventing-mass-slaughter sorts of reasons.

->This status gives him enough power to overrule any alpha's final ruling.

->the Marrok and his pack have oversight of all the werewolves in North America.

-> Right now, he is trying to work hard to give the werewolves a good image and for them to keep their rights as citizens.

ALPHA'S:

->Alphas are uncomfortable outside their own territory and interact badly with other Alphas.

->The only thing it takes to be an Alpha is power, not intelligence or even common sense.

->Alphas, especially the Marrok, never look away when others are watching them.

->Alphas can help control the wolves of newly Changed werewolves.

->The pack is sworn to obedience to the Alpha.

->Penalty for disobeying a direct order from an Alpha is brutal.

->An Alpha never admits weakness in front of the pack.

->Meeting an Alpha on his home territory puts him in a superior position.

->Being an Alpha isn't easy; it's a lot of responsibilty, a lot of work.

->if a pack member is hurt, flesh and blood of the Alpha can help heal him.

->it's not an easy matter to oust an Alpha, in North America, that never happens without the consent of the Marrok. (Though since we don't know if the Marrok will be a character, this may not count.)

->Alphas heal faster then regular wolves due to the power of his pack.

->Strong Alphas can force the change on another wolf.

->They are obsessive control freaks >.>

Dominant Wolves:

->it's hard for a dominant wolf to hurt a submissive wolf--if he's sane--their instincts tell them to protect them.

->Dominant wolves heal faster than submissive wolves.

->When an extremely dominant werewolf meets someone's gaze with his wolf in the fore, even humans bow to their knees.

->Arguing with dominant wolves could have unpleasant results.

->Really dominant wolves can add a push into their voice; like a command.

Submissive Werewolves:

->A submissive werewolf is not incapable of protecting himself: he can fight, he can kill as readily as any other.

->They don't feel the need to fight-not the way a dominant does.

->They are a treasure in a pack; a source of purpose and balance.

->Protecting a submissive is far more rewarding because a submissive will never wait until you are wounded or your back is turned to see if you are truly dominant to them.

->They unite the pack with the goal of keeping them safe and cared for.

Omega Werewolves:

->There are more male Omegas--because there are more male werewolves. The female population of Omegas is not that big.

->Like dominant werewolves, being an Omega was mostly personality when human.

->Omegas serve much the same purpose in a pack as submissives, but more so.

->Not constrained by an instinctive need to obey a more dominant wolf. Omega's are the only wolves who could go against an order made by the Marrok himself if they want to.

->Has all the protective instincts of an Alpha and none of the violent tendencies.

->They don't answer to the pack structure; they are considered to be out of it.

New Werewolves:
->New werewolves have to be taught how to use their senses

->There is a support structure to educate the new wolf, to keep him and everyone around him safe.

->A new werewolf just doesn't stand a chance against the older ones.

->One of the danger signs watched for in a new werewolf was a sudden change in personality or mood that seemed to have no obvious cause, an indication that the beast was gaining control of the human.

->The wolf can supersede the man often in newly Changed wolves; they are vicious, unpredictable, and dangerous even to the people they love.

Lone Wolves

->A lone wolf is considered an outcast.

->A lone wolf is a male that either declines to join a pack or cannot find a pack that will take him in; females are not allowed that option.

->Lone wolves are, in general, an odd bunch, dangerous to themselves an others.

---->Rogue Wolves:
---->A rogue is a wolf who has no official standing.
---->When tracked down a rogue is given the opportunity to join a pack; lone wolf under the Marrok's rules, or killed.

Female Werewolves
->A mated female takes her pack position from her mate, but unmated females were always lower than males unless the male was unusually submissive.

->Unmated females belong to the Alpha.

->Werewolf women can't have children.The change is too hard on the fetus. They miscarry in the third or fourth month.

->Werewolf women miscarry at the first full moon.

->Human women miscarry a little over half of the children they conceive by a werewolf father. They can carry to term only those babies who are wholly human.

Little Facts:

*Wolves stop aging in the mid twenties to thirties, which is when our human bodies start to break down. If a child survives the changed they will age until they reach that number.

*If they don't heal properly bones must be broken for them to heal properly.

*Most packs the males have the authority, but this doesn't mean that it is unspoken for a female to occupy a position of power in a pack.

*Moonstruck:When the moon comes, you can't stop the change. When moonstruck the werewolf would kill anyone near him. Out of control through no fault of their own.

*Moon's Call:When a wolf's voice [maybe the Alpha only] holds the power of the moon. Died away to silence but not an empty silence; more like the deadly quiet that precedes the start of the hunt. Wolves answer to their alpha no matter what during this, even lone wolfs if called on command appear.

*Shadows Spell: Used by packs to conceal fights or kills or anything else they didn't want the rest of the world to know about.


*The Reveal: Not all wolves had to go through this, only the alphas and other powerful wolves. Anyone who decided to do this not only gets the help from the Marrok (even financially) it also awards protection to them. This was done to avoid any blackmail that happen since the technology continued to advance and it was possible that humans would find on their own the truth.

(IF YOU HAVE MORE QUESTIONS- PLEASE LET ME KNOW!)

Walkers

Walkers

They are shifters who can only change into one certain animal. Up to now the only walker's who have been shown around the series are descendants from Native American tribes who bear the gift. They are supposedly bless by one of the animal gods.

Mercedes Thompson is a Walker-Turns into a Coyote.

Other Walkers can turn into:
*Wolf-They don't need to be bitten (Think of them as normal size wolfs with unnatural color eyes).

*Thunder bird.

*Hawk.

*Lynx & Mountain Cat.

*Bear

*Snake

*Raven


And I think it goes on and on, but up to now those are the only walkers we know of.

*Sometimes confused by Skin-walkers, they are different because they do not killed to get their power, they are just born with it.

*Humans do not know they exist, they think of them as myth creatures. Other supernaturals don't know they exist as well, except for some of the werewolves and the vampire community, who once hunted them into extinction for their supernatural abilities.

*They are a small population and like the werewolves, they claim their territory although they are not driven by their animals instincts like the werewolves.

*They have magic of their own, although it is unusual magic and it has been inferred that they can see the dead.

* No one rules them, unless they belong to a tribe and have to abide by their tribes rules.

*Unlike the werewolves, the females can conceived and don't have the problem of losing the child when they change.

Vampires


Vampires

Who rules them and enforces justice: Lord of the Night/The old one/ The Master *Isn't a known character in the series; he is just mention. Lives in Milan.*

*The Lord of the Night is feared by all of his kind. They follow him out of fear and they try not to catch his attention. In the last Mercy book, it has come to attention that he cares little for what the vampires in the new world do, although this does not mean that he still doesn't over sees them.

Vampire History

* In the before times vampires ate as they chose and reveled in the terror and the last throes of their prey.

*They would practice the old ceremony of Blood Lust. It is forbidden now; but it consists reveling in the blood of the victim, by painting it on hands and face. Like a drug, it dulled their minds but it did not consist memory lapse.

*The Vampires originated from the Old World, just like the Werewolves.

*During the Renaissance, vampires had been an open secret; being thought one added power and prestige.

*The cities of Italy and France became havens for them. Their numbers were not great and like the werewolves, vampires died more often than they accomplished their goal.

*When the Spanish invasion of the New World filled the coffers of the Church so they no longer had to depend upon the favor of the nobles, they went after the vampires as well as any other preternatural creature they could find. This spurned the inquisition- hundreds of people died, if not thousands, accused of vampirism, witchcraft, or lycanthropy. Even if only a small percentage of those who died actually were vampires, the losses were still severe.

* The Vampires that came to the New World, were victims of religious persecution or exiled by the Lord of the Night. They along with the other immigrants (fae and werewolf) destroyed most of the preternatural creatures who had lived in the Americas, until at last, even the bare stories of their existence were mostly gone.

Vampire Behavior & Facts

*Vampires do have souls, most of them are divided in the issue, since they think they do not.

*Vampires hate walkers because they can track them with ghosts. Main reason why they hunted them to almost extinction.

*Vampires mostly don't even see the ghosts and they can't do anything to drive them away. If their Master/Mistress have a certain power over the dead, they will inherit it all or to some degree.

*They have magic of their own. Their magic comes from what they are.

*It is most advice to not play dominance powers with them, because they can enslave their prey or enemy with their eyes.

*When it comes to enthralling humans, they use the Kiss. With their bite, they can bespell their prey. Some die because of it.

*The vampires never call each other by their true names, since they believe that they could attract evil by that. They give each other titles to address themselves. (Ex: The teacher, The Wizard, The Courtier etc.)

*They can give humans false memories.

*Most vampires breathe because not breathing attracts human attention; some do it because their not breathing is as troubling to them as it is to the the rest of us. For them air is not necessarily a necessity, just like walking or stretching.

*If a vampire is hurt badly enough, there are ways of bringing him back under the control of a more powerful vampire.

*They cannot stand on holy ground. The older they get the more scare they are of death. Older vampires are subject to fugues.

Seethes, Hierarchy, and Menageries.

*
Seethes are pretty common on big, populated cities where the prey is plentiful.

*Only the strongest vampires can live on their own and survive purely on human blood; all the weak live in the seethe and act as the Master/Mistress menagerie. She/he feeds from them and she/he feeds them.

*The changing process is obscure, but it has been inferred that when a Vampire feeds many times from it's prey, the prey will turn into one no matter what species it is (Fae, werewolf, witch). If a vampire were to turn a species that is not human, the punishment distributed to them (if found guilty) is death to the fledgling and death to the maker. There aren't  a lot of vampire because it takes time to make them.

*When a new vampire is born it is under the control of it's maker; it's not willing service. The control diminishes as the younger vampire gets older and accumulates power; or when their makers die. It happens sometimes that a vampire is created and is not  enthrall, such vampires are always killed upon their first rising.

*The Master/Mistress has the power to listen in on his/her children.

*The Vampires ask for tribute of those major businesses that are not affiliated to any other faction in exchange of their protection.

* Powerful vampires keep menageries for a steadyfood supply at hand, so they live with a small group of humans, usually anywhere from three to seven. Three humans are enough to provide food for a month before they die, seven are enough for six months. It takes a couple of years for a vampire to establish a connection strong enough with their menagerie so that they can control them. A vampire's menagerie is made up of victims; most of them die very slowly. The longer a person belongs to a vampire, the harder it is for the vampire to keep from killing him. A human without protection (i.e. wolf pack bond, etc.) who was food for the same vampire more than once could become a pet. All the people in the menagerie are: dependent upon the vampire and ready to follow any orders he might give them.

*The Vampire seethe is much like a dictatorship. There are no seconds in commands, just puppets.

How to kill them:

*A wooden stake, holy water or sunlight.

-----> For holy water, you would basically need a pool.
----->The stake is better if it's oak, ash, or yew; if you kill them that way, you have to cut off their heads or burn the body to make sure they stay dead.
------->A  dead vampire is ashes; if there's a body, it'll surely come back.


The Fae

Faepology  n. The scientific study of the origin, the behavior, and the physical, social, and cultural development of the fae.

What are the Fae?
->The Fae are a vengeance hungry race. You may know them as Faeries, but never ever called them that to their face.


Fae facts (Behavior and the likes):
->The Fae are whimsically evil-which means if you annoy them, you are likely to cease to exist--or wish that you might cease to exist.

->The Fae aren't very organized, and tend to ignore other people's problems.

->They are old creatures and they tend to follow the old laws of their people. They don't take change lightly.

->The Fae are a secretive people, and even the risk of disobeying the Gray Lords' orders is not worth giving up all of their secrets.

-> A lot of Fae are predators by nature, and among the things they like to eat are people. This has been banned though, but it doesn't mean that it does not happen.

->Fae often say things that sound odd to human ears.

->With a Fae it was always a good policy to bring an extra gift in lieu of a "thank you".

->They are cursed with the love of beautiful things and no ability to create them. Not all fae, of course. But many of those that are most deeply steeped in magic give up creative abilities of all kinds

->Fae are not able to tell a lie...but truth and honesty are rather different. They can also detects lies. They are very good at making you think they are saying one thing, when they mean another.

->Fae who are suspected of crimes tend not to survive to need lawyers.

--->What kind of Fae exist?

-----> That is a question that is very tough to answer. There are water fae, forest fae, air fae, fire fae and even what some call 'Gremlins', though the ones who go by that name admit that it's just the closest thing to their nature and are not really Gremlins.

->Gremlins, along with some other Fae, can manipulate metals and are not allergic to them like most of the Fae's are supposed to be. These are very hard to find though.

---->If you meet a Fae, beware of:

---->Talking about them too directly, this lets them listen into the conversation you are having.

----> Asking for favors, not only will it put you in-debt with them but also they may think of it as if you are insulting them.

----> NEVER-EVER-EVER-EVER, say 'Thank you!' to one of them. You might find yourself spirited away to Underhill or worst, a slave for the centuries to come. Saying those words is dangerous, as most  fae take them to be an admission of obligation.

----> Getting on the wrong side with them, always treat them with respect.

----> If you are offer a gift of some sort, remember you have the choice of declining the gift but if the Fae keeps insisting then take it. Do remember: ALL Fae gifts are mixed blessings and never say 'THANK YOU!' (heed my words!).

----->The Fae are not fond of attracting outside attention; it can be dangerous for everyone. Remember this...

How does a Fae look like? (Anatomy, Glamour and such)

->They smell like the four elements that the old philosophers proposed: earth, air, fire, and water, with a healthy does of magic.

->Not all Fae have their organs in exactly the same places that humans do.

->Some of the fae bleed odd colors.

->The Fae change their appearance by magic--glamour, they call it...not entirely sure that the Fae can see through each other's glamour.

->Glamour works best for sight and touch, very good for taste and hearing, but not as well for scent (it can be broken thanks to scent).

-> Few of the Fae are beautiful with their glamour on; beauty doesn't blend in very well. the fae, like werewolves, spent a long time learning to hide in plain sight.

->With enough glamour, a Fae can take on the appearance of any living thing, but something inanimate is harder. They can also used this to hide their real homes from strangers.


The Namesless Ones aka The Gray Lords

* They are the ones who rule all of the Fae. They do justice and are fear by all.

->The Gray Lords are the powerful mages who rule the Fae.

->They are driven to preserve their species; their methods had a strong tendency to be more expedient than fair.

->They are rich and own different law firms around the U.S. and the world.

->They are the ones to decide who comes out and who does not. They also were responsible on killing most of the beast lords for fear of these letting the humans know of their real nature.

->They tend to hate humans and weak fae.

->They are the guardians of some powerful objects.

*Officially, all the fae are out to the public and have been for a long time; but the truth is that the Gray Lords have been very selective about which of them the public gets to know about and which ones might upset the public.

Known Gray Lords:
The Sea King: Long pale hair that reached the back of his knees; damp with saltwater and tangled bits of sea plant. Eyes greener than Lincoln green. His skin is several shades paler than his hair. His veins a bluish cast just below his skin. Smelled cold and fishlike and his accent is Merrie old England. Resides in Underhill.

☽-Baba Yaga:Russian/Slavic fae. Baba Yaga is featured in the stories of a dozen countries scattered around Eastern Europe; she's not the hero in most of them; she eats children. Flies in a huge mortar. Can heal mortal wounds.

Nemane:Carrion Crow: Is one of the Morrigan, the battle goddesses of the Celts, one of her jobs was delivering the killing blow to the heroes dying in the aftermath of a battle to end their suffering. She is blind and her appearance changes. It's her job to keep the humans safe and she has a high sense of honor; pointless death or wrongful death is an anathema to her. She has celtic lilt on her accent.

La Belle Dame Sans Merci: Beautiful and deadly. She loves beautiful things and entraps males under her charm, then kills them. The pulse of her magic holds fascination and lust to those her focus is on.

Gwyn ap Lugh: The Prince of the Gray Lords. Believe to be Gwyn ap Nudd. (Please see updated information. Found at the end of this part).

->>The Reservations: After their coming out the government decided to not only create a Bureau of Fae Affairs (BFA), but also create places where all of them could live as in a way of keeping them under their watch.

--->If a Fae agreed to live on a reservation, he was given a small house and a monthly stipend; their children were given scholarships to good universities.

->Within the reservation the fae do their own law enforcement.

-->The reservations were created on lands where no one else wanted to live in. Most of the fae who live there aren't the powerful among the fae -- but there are a lot of them, more than appear on the government's rolls; there is power in that kind of concentration. They have also fool the government into believing that they are weak and powerless creatures that aren't like the ones from the old myths.

-->There are four reservations. Two are the Walla Walla and the Nevada reservation, the other two are unknown. Thanks to these reservations the Fae have begun a secretive process to open the gate of Underhill (which can be wherever it chooses to be and gives them a lot of power). The reservations were started since the eighty's.


Anti-Fae Societies: Exist .and are out on the open criticizing the Fae. Most groups are civil, others are not.


-Interesting Facts:

*The fae need humans; pure fae do not breed easily, if at all; they need to intermarry in order to keep their race going and they hate humanity for that most of all; they are proud and arrogant and they hate humans because they need them.

* Fae don't consort with the enemy.


What has happen with the Fae?


Gwyn ap Lugh: The Prince of the Gray Lords. Believe to be Gwyn ap Nudd. Played an important role on the fae's current situation. After his daughter was kidnapped and tortured, he decided to seek the justice of the United States to castigate the only surviving man of his daughter's captors. The man came from a prominent American family, whose father was a senator at the time. The Judge and Jurors of the trial decided to free the guilty man from all his charges and declared him innocent. This forced Gwyn ap Lugh to reveal himself to the public with the procession of part of his court and in his true form he declared that the oath he had sworn upon (to not use his powers for gain or for his people's gain to settled on the lands given to them by the government that were free of Iron) in the past was broken. He then declare the fae to be free of the laws of the United States of America. That they did not recognize them nor held any more authority over them. That as a sovereign nation, they claimed all the land given to them as their own and that they will treat the U.S. as a hostile nation treats another, until such time as it seems the fae good to do elsewise.

The Fae have taken over the lands that were given to them, since then on they have thrown out the BFA and closed their gates to them. Their magic has been restored and although the government has tried to see what they are up to, either they never reach the land or are transported elsewhere.

The Gray Lords have commanded that the powerful fae come back into the reservation lands and to bring with them all objects that are of power. The families of theses fae's as well as their half children have been left to the mercy of life, until such time says otherwise.

Witches

History/Facts:

*A bad time for all in Europe; the Inquisition had taken a terrible toll a couple of centuries before - and when it was over, the witches started fighting for power; only Napoleon kept them from exterminating each other entirely. The only Western European bloodline to survive the power struggle was the Torvalis line, which was interbred with the Gypsies. The few witchblood families left in Europe during and after the Napoleonic Wars had quit killing each other, forced instead to protect themselves from the ravages of more mundane fighting. Witches were still born here and there into mundane families, but seldom had a tenth of the power of the old families.

*The Eastern European and Oriental witches have never established the kind of dynasties the Western European witches had, they guarded their spells from each other; so each family tended to specialize. Witches are generally jealous of each other, but not always. In the United States the Russian's and Chinese witch clans have become very powerful covens, but they keep to themselves.

*A witch is born to use magic. They are trained in spell usage. Their powers concentrate on working with mind, body, and sometimes even the soul. To increase their power they must do things that are corrupted; death and torture is their most useful method.

*What separates witches from wizards is that witches do things with mind and body. Wizards have power over the physical -- and both do magic. The ends are sometimes the same, but the means are different. It's far easier to be a powerful wizard and still be a good person then it is to be a powerful witch (in a male's case).

*Some witches work with each other to kill other witches. There are witches who regularly worked for the various law-enforcement agencies.

*Witches are human and not immortal, unless they bind themselves or suffer some type of change into one of the immortals races (i.e. Wolves, Vampires). It is frown upon to change them or for them to take any immortal species against their will, if they do so they are immediately dealt with.


*Their magic went mixed with fire have an odd, synergistic effect sometimes.

*Magic tends to be weaker in the men.




Black Witches

*They use the mind and body; anyone's mind and body; they toy with things that are alive - or had been alive.

*A dark witch gains power from others' pain and suffering.

* They love children, because of their innocence and the power they can get from them. 

*Most witches with power are black witches. They tend to carry a smell of magic and death, unless they haven't killed in a long while.

*There are black witches who skirt the doing of actual evil; skirting evil is difficult, time-consuming, and requires a lot more from a practitioner than true black magic does.

White Witches

* They are mainly healers and seers, and can ward against dark magic.

*Most white witches are considered not powerful enough to be useful - which is not exactly true. This has to do with witch magic getting its power from death, pain, and sacrifice, and white witches have chosen to eschew that entirely.

*They become the favored prey for black witches, most of the time it is their own family who kills them.

*White witches unlike their black counterparts tend to have no smell of death.

*A white witch can acquire power by the act of sacrifice. They must use their own blood and skin to acquire at least more power, although this deforms them.

*If they protect themselves from an attack by using a black witch as shield, they won't acquire the smell of rot.

Witch Law

*It is the code of conduct for witches in general and covens.

*Under witch law, no witch can control an immortal or make it their familiar. Death is the penalty for them.

*The head of the coven must not used nor feed his personal gains with the magic of his underlings.

(These are the known laws up to now.)

Covens

* Covens need to have 13 members, no member related to any other to the sixth generation. Each family amassed its own specialty spells, and a coven of thirteen benefited from all those differing magics.

*After most of the witchblood families had been wiped out by fighting amongst themselves, covens have become a thing of the past. What few families remained have a bone-deep antipathy for the other survivors.

The Spells & Their Casting

*Imprisoning spells are pretty basic for witches.  Just like illusions were among the very basic tenets of witchcraft. Changing what the senses of others perceived was one of the major powers of the witches.

* Strong witches can control any werewolf that has no pack to protect him. They don't because of the witch laws.

*Power Circles: Some witches use them to set guard spells to keep things they valued safe, and others used them to store power for drawing upon late.

* Most of witchcraft is potions and spells.

*Witches can hide in plain sight if they had some sort of hold on you; hide-me spells they call them.

*A witch's creations did not survive their maker.



Sounds interesting! What is the plot for this game?

The Plot

   After the Fae declared war and seceded from the United States, they took the lands that were given to them and have barred them off against the humans and other supernaturals. Those who are half blooded have stayed behind, because they are not as important for the Gray Lords as those fae of pure blood and powerful means. The powerful fae were called back to the reservations, whether they wanted to go or not that did not matter, since they were 'kidnapped' or 'taken' by the power of the gray lords. In Nevada, the fae took over the reservation lands for their own. Middle ground exists in the establishment they have created inside the city, although it is shaky, seeing since the fae aren't feeling that trustful of humans or other creatures. They are restless and most of all angry for being trapped and not having the permission to see their families. Inside of their factions a rumor for rebellion will start, small and mild- but those who have helped the Gray Lords, have begin to disappear or are appearing dead.

The Vampires in North America are going through difficult times. After a Master was killed off by the Mid-Columbia seethe, who was known for using necromancy to enslaved many seethes under his power, for the objective of bringing them out just like the Marrok planned with his wolfs- The Master of Milan is pondering the idea of bringing his brethren out. Already, the different seethes are nervous, for if they were to come out-dark times will come. Some seethes are running south, trying to escape the Master's orders. The Las Vegas seethe is not one of them. They have just recently acquired their territory, after a gruesome battle to escape the hands of the necromancer, they are all bloodthirsty and ready to defend themselves. They are, most of all, restless for the power they feel in the land and the incrementing power that is slowly been sent to the fae. Will they be able to fight the Master's Power? or Will they be the first to come out?
   
The Marrok has once more sent a werewolf pack to Nevada. The last one that lived there had to be moved for fear of them ending as the Necromancer's snack. This new pack barely has lands to roam and to live in, they detest the city and most of all the inhabitants in it. The pack must readjust to the new city setting as well as the new enemies that roam their territory. Most of all they have to be open minded about the roaming walkers and the wolves who decided to stay; wolves that are new to them and are asking to join them.

Merry Meet and Merry Be. A coven has arrived in town, a powerful coven that keeps amassing power to wherever they go. Their leader is trouble and she is of the mind to conquer all of the witch clans. The Lady as she is known is going after black and white witches. She is giving them the choice of joining her and becoming more powerful or being killed, until they are sucked dry off magic. To her Nevada might be the last stop, before she declares war on the surviving Russian and Chinese witch families. Las Vegas is a city of riches and wonders, it's begging to be pump and the Lady is ready to do that, she only needs to bring down the two matriarchs of the ruling Russian and Chinese witch clans of that area.

The Humans are angry, most of all pissed off at what has been happening. The Fae have decided to do their own nation in American land, most of all they won't pay any taxes or give any money to the government for the lands provided. Add to that they are doing their faerie, weird magic close to human communities. Some humans are even disappearing when getting close to the fae protected lands. The government is still doing nothing and so, humans have started to create their own vigilante groups to protect themselves. They aren't showing any mercy to those creatures that called themselves 'Others' and that include witches. Slowly, slowly, the city is turning violent and death is coming for everyone and everything, bringing with it a darkness that will swallow the dawn.

Any requirements?


       
  • As mentioned before there is going to be violence and since this is E, there will be also some sex scenes, although this is a more plot driven group game than sex driven. So, you have been warned! We only ask that if you are going to join, be prepare to write a lot! One line, nor two, nor three will do. If you are okay with this, then that is perfect.
How many characters can I have?

       
  • We will all start with a minimum of 3 characters. As the plot advances and the activity check proofs to be right, then that number will change. So, it is very important that you choose carefully your characters. NPC's (non playing characters) do not count in this, of course. Your characters can be from any faction.
Do I need to have 3 characters to play in this game?

       
  • Since this concern has been brought up, I've decided to add it into our general information. ;D No, you do not need to create a minimum of 3 characters to play in the game. If you decide to start with one or two, then that is totally fine!
Is there a possibility for me to have a character of high standing (i.e. Alpha, Gray Lord, etc.)?

       
  • Yes, there is! Character's that play important roles in each of the factions will be given, but they will not hold any power position outside of the in character play. Why? Because some people don't play nice and this is to protect everyone. You may be in charge or part of the dominating group, but that means that you must submit to the higher powers. The Alpha answers to the Marrok. The Fae Enforcers answer to the Gray Lords (even a Gray Lord must answer to someone as/more powerful as him/her). These are just a few examples!
What are the required ages, power level and power structure for each of the races? Is there a cap?

       
  • Right now, there are no caps for characters, but we are most definitely looking for MEN. The following paragraph not only delves deep into the ages accepted to be played in this group game, but also the power levels that we are looking for or need to be known of as well as the power structures that come with them.

       
  •    Characters Age & Supernatural Power Level:
Werewolf Ages-> From 18-400 (Werewolves tend to not live long, but those who do can be up to the 400-ish age. Be very careful, since older wolves tend to be a bit unstable as they get jaded with life. There cannot be any wolves under the age of eighteen; the wolves frown upon the change of children, because it is harder for the younger ones to control their wolf. Accidents may happen, but they rarely occur. If you are to make an older wolf, be advise that as they age they developed abilities or powers of some sort.)
**We need an Alpha, as well as other wolves! The Omega spot has been taken.**

** Power level here starts with the Alpha, it is followed by the second and third in command of the pack, ends with the Omega.**

Fae Ages-> The Fae are a long lived race, but not all tend to survive that long. Some fae are born to die in a few months or a couple of years after heir birth, others fall prey to bigger fae predators, but those who have lived long it is because of their cunning nature and the ability to protect themselves. Full blooded fae tend to be more powerful than the half blooded fae, but in this new world, their powers (although growing) are not what they used to be. Those who are under the Gray Lords rule are powerful, long lived fae- their ages are unknown, so it is up to the player to decide what age to give their character, if they want to give it an age. Full blooded fae have just recently acquire some of the powers they used to have and strength, but the Gray Lords still have a strong grip on them.

In the Half Blooded Fae case, age must be specified and it may vary, since in our plot the Fae have been taken away from their families, this means that there is a high possibility for Spouses and Offspring to get involved. Half-Blood Fae Age is a mystery, some could live as long as humans, age as humans and others could live a bit longer as well as age slower.

If there proofs to be an interest to create any character that is the offspring of a specific Fae, I will ask that the character's age be 16, but I have to warn that any underage character- must not (in any way) be involved in any sexual play or situation, as per site rules. It also has to be real, Vegas is Sin city and your character can't strolled through casinos, because that in the real world does not happen. The only establishments that your character can enter are those that belong to the Fae. If you are going to use a picture for an underage character, the picture has to be an actor/actress that looks young, but is legal (Per site rules).

(If you want your Fae to have younger offspring, I advise you to do them NPC's and stick to description on how they look, act, etc.)

**We need Fae Civilians, Fae Enforcers, Fae Rebels, Half-Blood Fae, etc.**

**Power Level starts with the Gray Lords, the Champion (One chosen to oversee the reservation in the Gray Lords behalf), the Enforcers (Divided in two: The Leaders and The Soldiers. The Leaders subject to the Champion's will and power, they oversee that no problems exist as well as use their magic to maintain the peace inside the reservation. The soldiers are the lesser fae who answered to their clan leader. They patrol the lands as well as keep any fae from escaping, but also keep anyone from entering. Their mentality is more ruthless and brutish, they are perfect for orders, although not all soldiers are like that-some enter the service because they are force or it is expected of them.),  the Civilian Fae, and the Half-Blood fae.**

**The Champion spot has been taken.**

Vampires--> 16--Unknown. (Those who survive the change tend to fluctuate of age. A vampire might be a newborn of fledgeling, but his human looks stay the same. If the person was change at the age of 67, the person will look that age and yet, move with speed and agility. The older the vampire is the more dangerous does he become, since they start losing their humanity (thanks to the fugue) and start thinking more like predators.)

**We need a Master/Mistress of the seethe, Strong vampires that live out of the seethe, Weak vampire that live inside the seethe, Fledglings, Humans that serve as Pets, but also thralls to the Vampires.**

**Power Level starts with Master/Mistress, the Hand/Soldier (Carries out the justice of the Mistress/Master. Is a champion to the seethe), the Strong Vampires, the Weak Vampires, Fledglings, Pet, Menagerie Slaves.**

Witches-->16-90 (ish) (Witch are not immortals, but they start from an early age their magic sessions (if they decided to practice it). Witches age can vary, just like their powers and spells. It is up to the player to decide how old and how powerful the witch is to be.)

**In the U.S. the Witch families with enough power are the Chinese and Russian (most specifically the Arkadyevnah-Vyshnevetskaya clan). The classification inside these clans is a bit gray, since most of their power comes from their bloodline, but they all must choose a side. The Matriarchs train their family members and they keep to their ways (they don't like to mixed in with any of the other surviving European witch families that live in the U.S.). The witches powers differ from one another (it is up to the player to decide).**

**We need Witches of all kind! Whether align to the Chinese or Russian clan of the Nevada area, as well as align with the Lady, but also those that are not align.**

**Power level starts:

(Witch Clans)-> Matriarch,  Witch,  Apprentices, Family members touch by the gift (Unable to become witches), Full Blooded Human Family members (Were not born with any skill; that does not mean that their offsprings will not have the power).

(The Lady's Coven)-> The Lady, Coven Witches (Tied to the lady; she feeds from their power and feeds them from her power), Underlings (Some type of Apprentice, although they are always in danger of being used for the next spell).


(Unaligned Witches)-> Tend to be under the protection and contractual services of the Fae, Vampires, or Werewolf Pack. They tend to evade any powerful witches.

This is utterly fascinating, whilst I haven't read the Mercy Thompson series a very close member of the family has been raving on it constantly so it gives me a solid idea. I was wondering if we have a plot at the moment for it?

I'd love to play one of the vampires, perhaps even a wolf. Is it a requirement to play three characters at the very minimum? :-)

Uh, if you're asking if you want to stick with one, then that's fine. Hekate just wants to keep a min to three so there's not to many characters to keep track of. Myself, I'm going to stick with one and maybe bring in another if/when I feel the need.

No needs to feel silly! *Offers hugs* ^.^

(I hope I answered your question correctly! <3)

That is perfect! No, you do not need to play 3 characters at the very minimum to be active on this game, it is totally acceptable to have one or two as well.

Hekate, do you have an age or power level cap on the supernatural characters? Working on a fae woman, but not sure what limits you might have in mind and don't want to make someone that we can't use. :)


Shannon Jamerson

Appearance:

Name: Shannon Jamerson
True Name: Sinann

Age: 3482
Apparent Age: Usually appears as a young blonde of no older than 25

Race: Fae

Powers: Shannon was once revered as a Goddess of the River Shannon. As such she has all the powers associated with her connection to fresh waters. She can summon any creature who abides in fresh water, can manipulate water in many fashions (freezing, heating, slowing/increasing currents etc.) and can even become a part of a body of water if it's large enough to hold her mass and can actually clean a body of water of pollutants if it isn't too large.

Weaknesses: Iron, sea creatures are beyond her control but she can understand them, salt water is harder for her to manipulate than fresh water, all of her Powers are diminished as Humans have, mostly, forgotten who she once was.

Career: Works the night shift maintaining the tanks at the Shark Reef Aquarium in the Mandalay Bay hotel (despite the attractions being marine creatures she still finds the connection to so much water soothing in a place as dry as Vegas).

Personality: Shannon is a kind intelligent, seemingly, young woman. She is diligent in her current choice of career, never once calling in sick or missing a night of work. Most that know her have only good things to say, though the will mention that when she loses her temper, it truly goes and that getting on her bad side is not a good idea. Like any older Fae, she lives by rules most Humans would never fully understand, and being as old as she is, she has developed patience and an eye for the long game beyond Human comprehension. She doesn't think this makes her better than Humans, merely that it makes her perspective entirely different than theirs.

Background History: Most of the Humans she works with believe she was raised somewhere in the Midwest and came to Vegas strictly to work in the Shark Reef, drawn my a love of, and interest in, Marine creatures.

The truth is much longer than that.

A Granddaughter of Lir, human myth says that she sought knowledge from a sacred well without observing the proper rituals, or after being told no, and that the well rebelled and sent it's waters rushing forth to drown her, thus creating the River Shannon and making her the Patron Goddess of that River at the same time. The truth is far enough back in the past that not even she truly knows it anymore but if asked, she would say that it was far more likely she started out as a River Fae and that Human belief and worship, elevated her to something more.

Even her age is an estimate. She counts it from the time she started paying attention to the passing of time, not from an actual date of birth.

Originally she was bound to her River, unable to travel far from it, or the Humans who worshiped her there but as time, and Human memory, waned she found she was able to move further and further from her place of origin and as her worship faded entirely, she became free to roam the world. Her freedom came with a price however as the reach of her Power waned as well. All still there, their scope and reach diminished; she considered it a small price to pay.

For centuries she roamed the Earth, searching, learning, watching kingdoms and empires rise and fall. Initially it was easy enough, simply take a horse and go. A new place, a new name, new customs and languages to learn and plenty of time to learn them. Over the last century however, it had started to become more difficult. Humans gave over the use of natural materials and their computers started cataloging people. It was beginning to make simply disappearing and taking to a new land harder...until the Grey Lords outed them all. Oh granted, only the pretty, those who wouldn't frighten the Humans too badly, like herself, but it certainly made moving about easier again. And being able to admit she was Fae had certainly opened up some prospects.

She'd barely had to interview to get the job at the Shark Reef when she'd admitted she was a Fae with an affinity for water. Hell they'd practically fallen over themselves trying to give her, what they considered, a better but she enjoyed working nights, being able to commune with the creatures she worked with, and not having to show off for the Humans.

Of course now they were at War, or at least not on good terms, with the Humans of America and most were contained to their reservations. She had a pass to continue working at her job but only because her nature meant that, if she were forced to remain in the desert, it was likely she would fade. Or so she let everyone believe. Even a small amount of water would sustain her, and human technology (plumbing in particular in her case) certainly allowed for a free enough flow of water that fading wouldn't actually be a problem. She'd become used to her freedom over the centuries however and wasn't willing to give it up simply because some Lord was fool enough not to protect his family properly.

Hekate, do you have an age or power level cap on the supernatural characters? Working on a fae woman, but not sure what limits you might have in mind and don't want to make someone that we can't use. :)

Off to bed, will fill this in, in the morning. Have a lovely night all!

Ooooooh, Gwen Stefani!  :o Love her!

Here goes:


Characters Age & Supernatural Power Level:

(*Supernatural Races)

Werewolf Ages-> From 18-400 (Werewolves tend to not live long, but those who do can be up to the 400-ish age. Be very careful, since older wolves tend to be a bit unstable as they get jaded with life. There cannot be any wolves under the age of eighteen; the wolves frown upon the change of children, because it is harder for the younger ones to control their wolf. Accidents may happen, but they rarely occur. If you are to make an older wolf, be advise that as they age they developed abilities or powers of some sort.)

**We need an Alpha, as well as other wolves!**

** Power level here starts with the Alpha, it is followed by the second and third in command of the pack, ends with the Omega.**



Fae Ages-> The Fae are a long lived race, but not all tend to survive that long. Some fae are born to die in a few months or a couple of years after heir birth, others fall prey to bigger fae predators, but those who have lived long it is because of their cunning nature and the ability to protect themselves. Full blooded fae tend to be more powerful than the half blooded fae, but in this new world, their powers (although growing) are not what they used to be. Those who are under the Gray Lords rule are powerful, long lived fae- their ages are unknown, so it is up to the player to decide what age to give their character, if they want to give it an age. Full blooded fae have just recently acquire some of the powers they used to have and strength, but the Gray Lords still have a strong grip on them.

In the Half Blooded Fae case, age must be specified and it may vary, since in our plot the Fae have been taken away from their families, this means that there is a high possibility for Spouses and Offspring to get involved. Half-Blood Fae Age is a mystery, some could live as long as humans, age as humans and others could live a bit longer as well as age slower.

If there proofs to be an interest to create any character that is the offspring of a specific Fae, I will ask that the character's age be 16, but I have to warn that any underage character- must not (in any way) be involved in any sexual play or situation, as per site rules. It also has to be real, Vegas is Sin city and your character can't strolled through casinos, because that in the real world does not happen. The only establishments that your character can enter are those that belong to the Fae. If you are going to use a picture for an underage character, the picture has to be an actor/actress that looks young, but is legal (Per site rules).

(If you want your Fae to have younger offspring, I advise you to do them NPC's and stick to description on how they look, act, etc.)


**We need Fae Civilians, Fae Enforcers, Fae Rebels, Half-Blood Fae, etc.**

**Power Level starts with the Gray Lords, the Champion (One chosen to oversee the reservation in the Gray Lords behalf), the Enforcers (Divided in two: The Leaders and The Soldiers. The Leaders subject to the Champion's will and power, they oversee that no problems exist as well as use their magic to maintain the peace inside the reservation. The soldiers are the lesser fae who answered to their clan leader. They patrol the lands as well as keep any fae from escaping, but also keep anyone from entering. Their mentality is more ruthless and brutish, they are perfect for orders, although not all soldiers are like that-some enter the service because they are force or it is expected of them.),  the Civilian Fae, and the Half-Blood fae.**



Vampires--> 16--Unknown. (Those who survive the change tend to fluctuate of age. A vampire might be a newborn of fledgeling, but his human looks stay the same. If the person was change at the age of 67, the person will look that age and yet, move with speed and agility. The older the vampire is the more dangerous does he become, since they start losing their humanity (thanks to the fugue) and start thinking more like predators.)

**We need a Master/Mistress of the seethe, Strong vampires that live out of the seethe, Weak vampire that live inside the seethe, Fledglings, Humans that serve as Pets, but also thralls to the Vampires.**

**Power Level starts with Master/Mistress, the Hand/Soldier (Carries out the justice of the Mistress/Master. Is a champion to the seethe), the Strong Vampires, the Weak Vampires, Fledglings, Pet, Menagerie Slaves.**

Witches-->16-90 (ish) (Witch are not immortals, but they start from an early age their magic sessions (if they decided to practice it). Witches age can vary, just like their powers and spells. It is up to the player to decide how old and how powerful the witch is to be.)

**In the U.S. the Witch families with enough power are the Chinese and Russian (most specifically the Arkadyevnah-Vyshnevetskaya clan). The classification inside these clans is a bit gray, since most of their power comes from their bloodline, but they all must choose a side. The Matriarchs train their family members and they keep to their ways (they don't like to mixed in with any of the other surviving European witch families that live in the U.S.). The witches powers differ from one another (it is up to the player to decide).**

**We need Witches of all kind! Whether align to the Chinese or Russian clan of the Nevada area, as well as align with the Lady, but also those that are not align.**

**Power level starts:

(Witch Clans)-> Matriarch,  Witch,  Apprentices, Family members touch by the gift (Unable to become witches), Full Blooded Human Family members (Were not born with any skill; that does not mean that their offsprings will not have the power).

(The Lady's Coven)-> The Lady, Coven Witches (Tied to the lady; she feeds from their power and feeds them from her power), Underlings (Some type of Apprentice, although they are always in danger of being used for the next spell).


(Unaligned Witches)-> Tend to be under the protection and contractual services of the Fae, Vampires, or Werewolf Pack. They tend to evade any powerful witches.


Human--> Ages (may vary, they cannot be any younger than sixteen.)

**The Humans are a major population in Las Vegas, they are as important as any of the other factions mentioned above. We need all sorts of humans!**

**Power Level:

*The City and County government power level is as follows: Governor, Mayor, Law Enforcement Agencies.

(The Law Enforcement Agencies (Police, FBI, CIA, CANTRIP) serve the purpose of protecting the people and keeping vigilant eyes on the 'Others'. We need a Governor or a Mayor right now!)

*For the Vigilante groups right now, I am in the process of creating something!

^.^ Hope this helps!

Thanks for the answer Hekate!

~bounces off to work on her character~

Caela

Got a rough working outline sketched out in the spoiler up there, let me know what you think Hekate.

She'd likely be one who could be swayed into rebellion, though it would take some work. Mostly she wants to be left to her own devices and not caught up in some war not of her own choosing.

Shannon Jamerson

Appearance:

Name: Shannon Jamerson
True Name: Sinann

Age: 3482
Apparent Age: Usually appears as a young blonde of no older than 25

Race: Fae

Powers: Shannon was once revered as a Goddess of the River Shannon. As such she has all the powers associated with her connection to fresh waters. She can summon any creature who abides in fresh water, can manipulate water in many fashions (freezing, heating, slowing/increasing currents etc.) and can even become a part of a body of water if it's large enough to hold her mass and can actually clean a body of water of pollutants if it isn't too large.

Weaknesses: Iron, sea creatures are beyond her control but she can understand them, salt water is harder for her to manipulate than fresh water, all of her Powers are diminished as Humans have, mostly, forgotten who she once was.

Career: Works the night shift maintaining the tanks at the Shark Reef Aquarium in the Mandalay Bay hotel (despite the attractions being marine creatures she still finds the connection to so much water soothing in a place as dry as Vegas).

Personality: Shannon is a kind intelligent, seemingly, young woman. She is diligent in her current choice of career, never once calling in sick or missing a night of work. Most that know her have only good things to say, though the will mention that when she loses her temper, it truly goes and that getting on her bad side is not a good idea. Like any older Fae, she lives by rules most Humans would never fully understand, and being as old as she is, she has developed patience and an eye for the long game beyond Human comprehension. She doesn't think this makes her better than Humans, merely that it makes her perspective entirely different than theirs.

Background History: Most of the Humans she works with believe she was raised somewhere in the Midwest and came to Vegas strictly to work in the Shark Reef, drawn my a love of, and interest in, Marine creatures.

The truth is much longer than that.

A Granddaughter of Lir, human myth says that she sought knowledge from a sacred well without observing the proper rituals, or after being told no, and that the well rebelled and sent it's waters rushing forth to drown her, thus creating the River Shannon and making her the Patron Goddess of that River at the same time. The truth is far enough back in the past that not even she truly knows it anymore but if asked, she would say that it was far more likely she started out as a River Fae and that Human belief and worship, elevated her to something more.

Even her age is an estimate. She counts it from the time she started paying attention to the passing of time, not from an actual date of birth.

Originally she was bound to her River, unable to travel far from it, or the Humans who worshiped her there but as time, and Human memory, waned she found she was able to move further and further from her place of origin and as her worship faded entirely, she became free to roam the world. Her freedom came with a price however as the reach of her Power waned as well. All still there, their scope and reach diminished; she considered it a small price to pay.

For centuries she roamed the Earth, searching, learning, watching kingdoms and empires rise and fall. Initially it was easy enough, simply take a horse and go. A new place, a new name, new customs and languages to learn and plenty of time to learn them. Over the last century however, it had started to become more difficult. Humans gave over the use of natural materials and their computers started cataloging people. It was beginning to make simply disappearing and taking to a new land harder...until the Grey Lords outed them all. Oh granted, only the pretty, those who wouldn't frighten the Humans too badly, like herself, but it certainly made moving about easier again. And being able to admit she was Fae had certainly opened up some prospects.

She'd barely had to interview to get the job at the Shark Reef when she'd admitted she was a Fae with an affinity for water. Hell they'd practically fallen over themselves trying to give her, what they considered, a better but she enjoyed working nights, being able to commune with the creatures she worked with, and not having to show off for the Humans.

Of course now they were at War, or at least not on good terms, with the Humans of America and most were contained to their reservations. She had a pass to continue working at her job but only because her nature meant that, if she were forced to remain in the desert, it was likely she would fade. Or so she let everyone believe. Even a small amount of water would sustain her, and human technology (plumbing in particular in her case) certainly allowed for a free enough flow of water that fading wouldn't actually be a problem. She'd become used to her freedom over the centuries however and wasn't willing to give it up simply because some Lord was fool enough not to protect his family properly.

Wow, that is truly magnificent Caela! I approve her!

Kuje

Well, if someone wants to bring back a old character.... I think Hekate wouldn't deny the character as long as some changes are made to fit it into the plot she's working out...  :)

Diablerie


Kuje

Name: Shawnee Dakota Fisher

Age: 22 or maybe 23 by now.

Race: Walker - Chinook

Powers (If any): Aura reading. Ghost sensing and talking. Rarely visions/psychometry. When she managed to read auras, wolves tend to be the color of their species, a lot of browns, greys, reds, whites, or blacks. The nature fae are so many shades of greens and browns but other shades, depending on if they were nature fae or other species of fae. Of course, she couldn't aura read any fae that has protections that block/mask their aura. Witches had auras that closely matched humans but they also had protections that could mask their auras, if they knew how to. White witches tended to have a silver color to her and black witches have a dark color. Walkers, like her, had auras in the shape of the animal the shifted into. Vampires scare her the most, they're dark blood red.

Career: A Waitress back in Portland, Oregon and she was learning how to keep some of the books of finances. In Vegas, she's unemployed and or looking for work. Although, she's been thinking about trying to talk to new age/pagan shop owners to see if they would be willing to give her a chance at being a medium so she could help clients answer their questions by her new power to see and talk with ghosts.

Personality: A little flighty at times. More wise than intelligent, but not to say she's dumb or stupid. Values hearth and home. Cares deeply for her family, and others. Dislikes those that really try to boss her around, within limits. If she feels like someone is doing it to rile her, she'll mouth off to them unless she knows that it wouldn't be wise to do so. When she's really stressed, she turns to drinking beer instead of water.

Appearance : Blue eyed. Blonde. 5Feet 5inches. (See pic) It's still a mystery why she's blonde and blue eyed when the rest of her family are dark skinned, black or browned haired, and brown eyed.

Background History: She was home tutored on the reservation, so she's never been to any of the public schools or gone to college. Growing up on the Chinook reservation in Northwest Oregon, she spent most of her time outdoors, fishing along the coast or helping the tribe when they wanted to get her out from underfoot.
   
It wasn't until she was a teenager that she learned that she could shift into a owl. While out fishing, when she wasn't supposed to be, a storm came through and as she panicked, she shifted to get away from the sinking boat. Now, she tends to keep her ability a secret. Only her mother, father, and grandmother know that she has been touched by Owl. Her mother and grandmother trained her to be able to sense what others can't see because owls are said to be able to sense what others cannot. Her oracle power has changed and rarely does she receive visions like she used to but now, due to her family teaching her new ways to harness that oracle power, she can sense and talk to spirits/ghosts.

She hasn't done so yet since she's only been in town for a little while but one of her interests is visiting the Las Vegas Indian Colony. She's mostly interested in seeing what a desert tribe is like instead of her tribe since the Chinook way of life is based around the ocean and bounty that comes from the ocean.

I'm glad y'all like her. Now I need to go hunting up a decent picture for her Fae form. :)

I am extremely interested. A three character option is hard to resist! I'm catching up on the reading in the original post to build my characters. Note: I haven't read the mercyverse but I will research that as well to help the plot rather than create an odd cancer within it.

We wouldn't let you create a cancer in the story! That's no fun for anybody. A number of us have read at least a few of the books, some have read them all (finally got the most recent one from the library!!! woohoo! lol) so don't hesitate to ask if you have questions. :D

that was mostly a joke. :)

I'll think I'll have two walkers and a witch, if that's ok with everyone?

It's Hekate's permission you actually need but that sounds fine by me.

I made a Fae already, am thinking I am going to make a new Omega Wolf. A new character for a new game and entirely different than the old one. :D Hehehehe I think I will give this one a bit of a sharper edge (though not too much since being an Omega in the first place is partly personality) and fewer ties to the Fae.

~bounces off to type~

Will probably make my third a Vamp since we don't have any yet.

Stephanie Chamberlain

Appearance:

Name: Stephanie "Stephy" Ann Chamberlain

Age: 84 (appears around 27)

Race: Werewolf; Omega

Powers/Position: As an Omega Stephy has the ability to soothe and calm any Wolf not actively engaged in a fight for Dominance. She is the natural arbiter of the Pack and (like all Omega's) helps maintain order when the Dominant's in the Pack are letting their tempers run high. Standing outside the Pack Hierarchy, her involvement is never a threat to ranking which is often a help in itself. When that alone isn't enough she can use her ability to spread calm through a room of Wolves with this closest being the most effected. Even those Wolves who are old and whose Wolves are about to take over, can be calmed by the presence of an Omega, though it would take her constant presence to keep them from going insane.

Career: Child Psychologist

Personality: Stephanie has always been a natural arbiter. Even as a child she was the one other kids (even many older than herself) ran to for solutions to problems they wouldn't take to adults. As she grew, the ability to solve or help people work through problems grew and she was naturally drawn to the growing field of psychology. Kind and with an optimistic view of life she is drawn to children and enjoys her current work with them.

Kind as she is, like any Wolf, she can have a temper but it tends to flare and die almost as quickly. She isn't the sort to seek vengeance for a harm done to her but will, instead, simply cut the person causing her pain from her life. Most people that know her like her and find disappointing her far more worrisome than angering her.

Background History: Stephanie actually was born in 1929 and raised in New York City, though few people would ever think of her as a "city girl". Her parents weren't wealthy but they weren't poor either. Solidly middle class they did the best they could for their daughter in the the hope that she would, "Marry Up". Always strong willed, Stephanie nearly spoiled that plan by making it clear that her goals were further reaching that simply getting married and popping out grandchildren.

She demanded, and worked hard for, an education at a time when most women didn't aspire so high. She wanted a doctorate in Psychology but that was beyond her initially and she settled for becoming a teacher and marrying a Psychologist; which satisfied her mother's desire for her to marry well. She actually did love her husband and actually gave him two children (twin girls) before the fateful night that changed her life forever.

Out camping with her small family (both she and her husband loved the outdoors) they had no idea that their campsite was near land frequently used by a Wolf Pack to run on the full moon. The Pack had no idea that anyone was camping that night and were chasing down a Wolf who had gone mad, planning to corner him in a ravine less than half a mile from where they were. The crazed Wolf caught there scent and veered toward them, rampaging through their campsite before the rest of the Pack caught up to him, killing Stephanie's husband and two children and mauling her before he was pulled away and slaughtered in turn by a Pack simply, "Taking care of business".

Someone in the Pack, to this day Stephanie can't remember who, recognized the potential for what she could become, if she lived without going mad, and demanded that they take Stephanie back to their encampment to be cared for. Grieving, trying to heal from such traumatic injuries, and trying to reconcile everything people were trying to tell her, as well as the massive pain when the Changes started and she couldn't control them at first, nearly did her in. More than once she heard whispers that she, in turn, might need to be put down, Omega or not.

Because of the trauma surrounding her initial attack and Change, the Alpha of the Pack that had found her actually petitioned to have her moved to the care of another Pack in the hope that not being around the Pack responsible for the death of her family might give her the breathing room she needed to grieve and learn control. No one liked the idea of putting down a potential Omega. She was taken in only when he promised that if she couldn't learn the control she needed, that he would come and handle putting her down himself.

To that end she was actually sent to a Pack in Northern Washington. They had purchased massive tracts of land for the Pack to use and she found the wild country, and the total lack of anything familiar, soothing in a way few other things could be. Slowly she came out of her shell and started paying attention to what the new Pack, people she didn't see as responsible for her loss in any way, were trying to teach her. Because of her grief it took longer than they normally would have given a new wolf time for, but (also because of her grief) they simply kept her isolated and as she started making progress they began to relax and eventually sent word back that she would Heal, given time.

She stayed in Washington until the Marrok put out the word that an Omega would be useful for the Pack he was sending back to Las Vegas. Having fel the urge for something new for some time, she spoke with her Alpha (out of courtesy and respect for the man who had given her the time she needed to heal and become whole again) before petitioning the Marrok to allow her to go to Vegas. New wolves in a new place would need an Omega to keep things calm and make the transition smoother and she looked forward to the challenge.




Kassandra Smythe

Appearance:

Name: Kassandra Merillene Smythe

Age: 392 (Appears late 20's)

Race: Vampire

Powers: Like any Vampire she can cloud the mind of her Prey, implant false memories and send them on their way none the wiser; heal swiftly, and has increased strength and speed. Strong enough to live on her own, she keeps only a few pets in her home, preferring to feed on the transient masses that come through Vegas. She can also make herself unnoticeable; not invisible, just a trick that turns the eyes, making you not realize she is standing there which comes in handy when stalking her prey. As a human she had the Sight, as a Vampire it still comes on her at times, though with much less regularity, and usually only for something that will effect her life in some fashion.

Career: None, Independently wealthy

Personality: Kassandra is quiet and thoughtful, watchful and wary. She's intelligent and keeps her own counsel unless asked a specific question, and while she won't lie, she has an, almost Fae-like, ability to twist the truth so that what she says, and what you hear, may not be the same thing. She can be kind, but she chooses when to be so and when to be cold, and when to show outright cruelty.

She appears to have almost no temper, but people that cross her have a tendency to have bad things happen to them.

Background History: Born in 1621, Kassandra was the daughter of a Blacksmith whose mother died having her. Having no other children her father had no idea how to raise a girl, and so he raised her more like he would a son, teaching her the more delicate skills of his trade. While he forged swords, axes, and horseshoes, she learned to make daggers and jewelry for their village. As her skill in such small matter grew, so did her reputation and though it seemed to ruin her for marriage, a skilled silver/goldsmith came to see her work and took her as an apprentice despite her sex.

Learning her craft well, she became a skilled artisan and while she didn't earn world renown, she did draw the attention of a Vampire with an eye for both pretty things, and pretty women...and she could provide both. He was careful in his feed on her, making sure he didn't use her too often, in order to not only preserve her usefulness but so that she could continue to learn more of her trade, learn to make greater and more intricate baubles for him to enjoy. Eventually, of course, the inevitable happened and in a fugue he drank to deeply. He'd drunk often enough that her Rising was inevitable, but it ended her learning because it meant they had to move from the Master she was learning from. She was too well known in the town.

She spent decades with her first Master, serving his menagerie until she grew strong enough to strike out on her own, to take, and support, her own pets. Preferring to not have the sort of followers that many had, however, she moved from one large city to another, often feasting on those that none would miss. There were always poor, homeless, transient, people; people whose death on a cold night would go un-remarked entirely and certainly whose death wouldn't be laid at the feet of a talented artisan like herself.

In fact, she liked being able to move as swiftly and with as little notice so well, that she took great care never to have more than two "children" with her at any one time. Keeping her household limited, and improving her skills over time, allowed her to amass a small fortune, under a variety of names, that would, if counted in total, make the richest of men jealous if they were aware of it. Knowing the transient nature, and value, of "money", especially as the electronic age has made actual hard currency less and less common, much of her wealth is in actual hard coin, though she also owns large tracts of land, some with mineral rights that a number of modern corporations have been paying to lease from her "family" for generations.

Now she's come to Vegas, a large city with a hugely transient population. Her last "child" has struck out on his own and she is free to set herself up and find a new human worthy of being made Vampire...after serving her for a time of course. As always, she will have paid respect, and due homage, to the local Seethe and sought permission to remain in their city, and hunt their grounds, for a time...perhaps a decade or so, before she will move on. She pledges no undying loyalty to anyone, but always shows the proper respect for the powers in any territory she "visits".

Edited, ready for approval, I think





Name: Talulah Powma "Rain" - "Heavy Rain" - "Leaping water"

Age: Twenty six (November 20: 3:15 a.m.)

Race: Walker

Powers: Can effectively transform into a Raven at will. Rain is also sensitive to magics, and it's not difficult for her to identify vampires, fae, werewolfs, and/or witches. Further, Rain can feel death. When something dies, she senses it, no matter the distance. However, the closer she happens to be to the incident, the more intense the experience. She feels it like a sound, and a light, it's not particularly scary, or intimidating. It all depends on how much or how little Rain cares about the being that is losing it's life.

Career: Rain grew up on the reservation in Lyon county. She was fourteen when life begin to take every twist and turn for the odd. For now, We'll say that Rain is one of the best bartenders in Vegas. Customers don't particularly like her, it's her employers that benefit from her. She pours drinks properly without under or over serving. She holds her own in arguments with belligerent men. She's gorgeous, and she shares tips with the tills. She's worked all over town, but prefers to work in Casinos, the reasons are succinct as follows: People lose their entire bank accounts there, it's funny to her - Rain is a predator, and the Casino's are full of prey (metaphorically) - the men tip higher - the women don't talk to her as much as bars and clubs - drinks are more expensive, therefor, it's a better environment to work in. - Prostitutes go from one way to another, she lives vicariously through them, watching them, and hiring them on occasion. - she can smoke inside. - they wages are good. - The list goes on.


Personality: Rain is dark, demented, unfocused, and full of character flaws. She does get sick enjoyment out of other's suffering. Within this, is the idea that one must suffer in order to grow, and Rain knows this at the center of her being. The humor comes from the fact that people usually handle these situations poorly. This is more prominent in her exchange with strangers. She does exude this energy with her friends as well, typically helping through the scenarios, rather than just blowing a chuckled breathe of smoke in their face. Rain prefers a large circle of friends, for she is an intensly social woman. She has learned to appreciate company of honest folks, and she does treat her friends with utmost respect most of the time.

She's a sexual creature, and a lot of her thought-patterns revolve around getting laid. She is incredibly persuasive, and creative with her language. It almost seems like she can talk ideas into people's heads, forcing them to bide by her will. Of course, she has no real power in this sense, unless one considers her sexuality and her charisma as power. She prefers to dance alone, or with multiple partners, this is the exact opposite in the bedroom. Rain is not an artist, by any stretch of the word, she is an oppurtunist, a trickster, and devious.  Drunk, she gets angry fast, and only the prospect of middle-eastern food or sex distract her enough to drop the grudge and move on with life. See, Rain is greedy, she has never turned down food, or left her plate empty. She likes to smoke, and eat, and fuck. Money is no object to her, objects are objects to her.

She gets along better with men than she does women. She has a distanced connection with her tribe. She feels like her people have lost their ways, through no fault of their own. She feels lucky to be alive, and lucky to be as gifted as she is. But, the Paiute way is more alive in her than the collective culture that she came from. This belief is firmly held in her mind. If Rain can get away with it, she lets people believe that she's white. If the conversation arises though, she holds no shame of her own past or her ancestor's.

Appearance : Only 5'4 inches tall, obviously thin, about 121 lbs. Rain's appearance is about as accurate as the pictures in the spoiler. Rain is petite, her breasts and her hips hardly hold the shape of a woman's body. Her greatest feature is her tuned abdomen/chalice. Her olive skin tans into a light brown every spring, and it doesn't fade until the beginning of winter. The only suggested difference between Rain's actual appearance, and these two girls in the photos is that Rain's eyes are a dark dark brown. And, she would likely appear to be more native than either of these two, but she has caucassion in her blood, so not too much.
photos- be careful at work




Background History: Rain lived a sad life as a native child. She had two older brother's that each seemed to abandon the tribe when they were little. They spent their time with white kids from off of the reservation. She had chosen to associate with her people, though. It was a difficult, uneasy existence for such a young person. She was well aware of her abilities, and she had felt cursed for most of that time. Her mother was Spanish, and German. So, she was horrified to discover that her daughter turned into a crow. Her father insisted that Leaping Water was a Raven, one of the most important, and enigmatic creature in the world. He told his wife of Raven myths from other tribes in the area, for the Paiute did not have a popular myth for the Raven. She was swayed, and she stayed with her family, as dysfunctional as their future seemed to be.

Rain was told to keep her abilities hidden, however, her father was unaware of how deep her power went. Her sense of death started to scare people. She would always stumble upon creatures, or sometimes people recently deceased. Some begin to suspect her a demon of some kind. Others were more convinced that she was sent to Earth to deal with the grief of others. She didn't like either of these ideas. She started to rebel against everyone. And what she did from the ages of fourteen to sixteen will never be forgiven. Her parents begin to despise her, and Rain ostracized herself by choice before she leanred complex algebra in school.

Rain used her teenagers years like an endless well of entertainment. She moved out of the reservation, and started to make her way in the world with dirty jobs, especially for a girl her age. There were two years spent in the shadows of the evil under carriage of Vegas. She took for the desert city immediately. She worked hard, no matter what that work was. And no man could deny her sexuality. It oozed from her, so she took room and board for exchanges of sex. Officially, She was a prostitute, and a stripper the moment she turned eighteen, and she turned to hard drugs as an escape from this life-style. Her favorite substance was weed, but she also used coke, and black-tar smokable opium. Liquor made a steady appearance once or twice a day. She never spent her money on anything productive, and she eventually turned to theft in order to make ends meet. This landed her in a correctional facility for non-violent women of the tribe causing trouble in society. She's never had an official arrest or felony on her record, likely due to the fact that her tribe is protecting her.

At the age of twenty four, she entered back into the world as a functional bartender. Every now and again she has the urge to start turning tricks again. That is, the old tricks, the drugs, and the sex. Her everyday existence is a mild version of that whore that she used to be.

Name: Shawnee Dakota Fisher

Age: 22 or maybe 23 by now.

Race: Walker - Chinook

Powers (If any): Aura reading. Ghost sensing and talking. Rarely visions/psychometry. When she managed to read auras, wolves tend to be the color of their species, a lot of browns, greys, reds, whites, or blacks. The nature fae are so many shades of greens and browns but other shades, depending on if they were nature fae or other species of fae. Of course, she couldn't aura read any fae that has protections that block/mask their aura. Witches had auras that closely matched humans but they also had protections that could mask their auras, if they knew how to. White witches tended to have a silver color to her and black witches have a dark color. Walkers, like her, had auras in the shape of the animal the shifted into. Vampires scare her the most, they're dark blood red.

Career: A Waitress back in Oregon and she was learning how to keep some of the books of finances. In Vegas, she's unemployed and or looking for work. Although, she's been thinking about trying to talk to new age/pagan shop owners to see if they would be willing to give her a chance at being a medium so she could help clients answer their questions by her new power to see and talk with ghosts.

Personality: A little flighty at times. More wise than intelligent, but not to say she's dumb or stupid. Values hearth and home. Cares deeply for her family, and others. Dislikes those that really try to boss her around, within limits. If she feels like someone is doing it to rile her, she'll mouth off to them unless she knows that it wouldn't be wise to do so. When she's really stressed, she turns to drinking beer instead of water.

Appearance : Blue eyed. Blonde. 5Feet 5inches. (See pic) It's still a mystery why she's blonde and blue eyed when the rest of her family are dark skinned, black or browned haired, and brown eyed.

Background History: She was home tutored on the reservation, so she's never been to any of the public schools or gone to college. Growing up on the Chinook reservation in Northwest Oregon, she spent most of her time outdoors, fishing along the coast or helping the tribe when they wanted to get her out from underfoot.
   
It wasn't until she was a teenager that she learned that she could shift into a owl. While out fishing, when she wasn't supposed to be, a storm came through and as she panicked, she shifted to get away from the sinking boat. Now, she tends to keep her ability a secret. Only her mother, father, and grandmother know that she has been touched by Owl. Her mother and grandmother trained her to be able to sense what others can't see because owls are said to be able to sense what others cannot. Her oracle power has changed and rarely does she receive visions like she used to but now, due to her family teaching her new ways to harness that oracle power, she can sense and talk to spirits/ghosts.

She hasn't done so yet since she's only been in town for a little while but one of her interests is visiting the Las Vegas Indian Colony. She's mostly interested in seeing what a desert tribe is like instead of her tribe since the Chinook way of life is based around the ocean and bounty that comes from the ocean.

Stephanie Chamberlain

Appearance:

Name: Stephanie "Stephy" Ann Chamberlain

Age: 84 (appears around 27)

Race: Werewolf; Omega

Powers/Position: As an Omega Stephy has the ability to soothe and calm any Wolf not actively engaged in a fight for Dominance. She is the natural arbiter of the Pack and (like all Omega's) helps maintain order when the Dominant's in the Pack are letting their tempers run high. Standing outside the Pack Hierarchy, her involvement is never a threat to ranking which is often a help in itself. When that alone isn't enough she can use her ability to spread calm through a room of Wolves with this closest being the most effected. Even those Wolves who are old and whose Wolves are about to take over, can be calmed by the presence of an Omega, though it would take her constant presence to keep them from going insane.

Career: Child Psychologist

Personality: Stephanie has always been a natural arbiter. Even as a child she was the one other kids (even many older than herself) ran to for solutions to problems they wouldn't take to adults. As she grew, the ability to solve or help people work through problems grew and she was naturally drawn to the growing field of psychology. Kind and with an optimistic view of life she is drawn to children and enjoys her current work with them.

Kind as she is, like any Wolf, she can have a temper but it tends to flare and die almost as quickly. She isn't the sort to seek vengeance for a harm done to her but will, instead, simply cut the person causing her pain from her life. Most people that know her like her and find disappointing her far more worrisome than angering her.

Background History: Stephanie actually was born in 1929 and raised in New York City, though few people would ever think of her as a "city girl". Her parents weren't wealthy but they weren't poor either. Solidly middle class they did the best they could for their daughter in the the hope that she would, "Marry Up". Always strong willed, Stephanie nearly spoiled that plan by making it clear that her goals were further reaching that simply getting married and popping out grandchildren.

She demanded, and worked hard for, an education at a time when most women didn't aspire so high. She wanted a doctorate in Psychology but that was beyond her initially and she settled for becoming a teacher and marrying a Psychologist; which satisfied her mother's desire for her to marry well. She actually did love her husband and actually gave him two children (twin girls) before the fateful night that changed her life forever.

Out camping with her small family (both she and her husband loved the outdoors) they had no idea that their campsite was near land frequently used by a Wolf Pack to run on the full moon. The Pack had no idea that anyone was camping that night and were chasing down a Wolf who had gone mad, planning to corner him in a ravine less than half a mile from where they were. The crazed Wolf caught there scent and veered toward them, rampaging through their campsite before the rest of the Pack caught up to him, killing Stephanie's husband and two children and mauling her before he was pulled away and slaughtered in turn by a Pack simply, "Taking care of business".

Someone in the Pack, to this day Stephanie can't remember who, recognized the potential for what she could become, if she lived without going mad, and demanded that they take Stephanie back to their encampment to be cared for. Grieving, trying to heal from such traumatic injuries, and trying to reconcile everything people were trying to tell her, as well as the massive pain when the Changes started and she couldn't control them at first, nearly did her in. More than once she heard whispers that she, in turn, might need to be put down, Omega or not.

Because of the trauma surrounding her initial attack and Change, the Alpha of the Pack that had found her actually petitioned to have her moved to the care of another Pack in the hope that not being around the Pack responsible for the death of her family might give her the breathing room she needed to grieve and learn control. No one liked the idea of putting down a potential Omega. She was taken in only when he promised that if she couldn't learn the control she needed, that he would come and handle putting her down himself.

To that end she was actually sent to a Pack in Northern Washington. They had purchased massive tracts of land for the Pack to use and she found the wild country, and the total lack of anything familiar, soothing in a way few other things could be. Slowly she came out of her shell and started paying attention to what the new Pack, people she didn't see as responsible for her loss in any way, were trying to teach her. Because of her grief it took longer than they normally would have given a new wolf time for, but (also because of her grief) they simply kept her isolated and as she started making progress they began to relax and eventually sent word back that she would Heal, given time.

She stayed in Washington until the Marrok put out the word that an Omega would be useful for the Pack he was sending back to Las Vegas. Having fel the urge for something new for some time, she spoke with her Alpha (out of courtesy and respect for the man who had given her the time she needed to heal and become whole again) before petitioning the Marrok to allow her to go to Vegas. New wolves in a new place would need an Omega to keep things calm and make the transition smoother and she looked forward to the challenge.

that was mostly a joke. :)

I'll think I'll have two walkers and a witch, if that's ok with everyone?

Welcome, welcome, Photo!

I can't wait to see the end result of your Walker! <3

I think up to now Rain is coming out very nicely, but I would like to see more of her family, powers, why does she choose Casino's to go work for them (which Casinos does she work for?), and also, do you consider her to be a sociopath?

Here's a fact that maybe you would like to integrate to your character's bio: The Paiute police do have their own police force and work with the Nevada police department, maybe if Rain has come and gone out of jail without any problems it is because the Paiute force protects the walkers a bit more.

^.^ For someone who hasn't read the books, you've got a strong grip on the concept, Photo!

And at Callie. There's no restriction on updating some of your old characters if you really feel the need to do so. I kept Shawnee cause Hekate and I have been chatting about this idea for about three weeks and we're worked out some ideas between our characters.

Diablerie

Name: Nathalian James Beaumont (True Name: Cŵn Annwn; Gabriel or The Gabriel)

Age: The glamour he uses is one of a man whose into his early 40's, but his actual age is unknown. He has existed before Arthur the king lived and that can only be a hint of how old he must be.

Race: Fae. He is associated with the Wild Hunt (Beast Lord) and Spirits. In the Nevada reservation, he has just been appointed the Champion, most believe that this has to do with his affinity to Gwyn ap Nudd and the Gray Lords.

Powers (If any): The Gabriel commands his own soldiers, like him they all take up the form of hell hounds, their fur is of black or dun colors and their eyes are red. Depending on who sees them, they can either be confused with large dogs or wolfs. Being a Beast Lord, gives him an edge over most fae, he is trained to hunt like a predator and his speed as well agility is quite impressive. He can mask his aura as well as he has the power to change humans into hounds. He can speak to the dead, although he holds no power over them. Gwyn ap Nudd presented him with a war horn whose call brings all of his beast subjects to him, whether they like it or not.

Weaknesses: Iron. Blood; brings out the beserker in him. His wife and Child.


Career: Nathalian, before the declaration of secession, dedicated himself to nothing. Marrying a human socialite gave him the opportunity to not only dedicate to his family life, but to dog breeding, particularly Mastiffs. He continued to be nevertheless the underhand of Gwyn and the Gray Lords, although his justice was barely called on.

Personality:

The Gabriel is a cold, heartless bastard. He follows his orders to the letter and even if they don't agree with what he believes to be good or bad, he still enacts his justice. He serves, because that is his nature and expected of him; he also serves because of fear of any harm coming to his family. He is very dominant, his patience is very small and his temper is dangerous. He is protective of what is his and most of the time, he makes sure to look after of his charges. He is a predator, a very dangerous predator, but a loving husband and doting father.

Those he chooses to roam with him are either men or women who owed him debts or tortured, corrupted souls. To these warriors and servants, he calls them his children, although he doesn't suffer their deaths like an Alpha would.


Appearance:(Please see image). The Gabriel is over six feet tall and five inches, his height and muscled body tends to intimidate his enemies. His hair is kept short and pulled back into a small knot, the color of his hair as well as facial hair is a dark chocolate brown with some rays of blonde. His facial hair has some hints of white in it. His eyes are dark as the night he roams. When outside of the Fae territory he tends to wear suits, but he keeps his glamour intact, when inside the Fae lands he is often riding in a black or white horse that is dress in magic chain mail that does not bring any harm to the Beast Lord. The Gabriel as Champion wears a (magic) knight metal suit that has silver and gold adornments, this suit in particular was given to him as a gift for his service by the Gray Lords.


Background History:

The Gabriel is a Fae of Full Blood. He was born into a fae noble clan and at a tender age, like his father before him, he prepared to became the legendary figure he is now. In truth, he is of Welsh origins, the name he uses just a title to give him prestige. He has survived this long because of his cunning nature and his association with the court of the Gray Lords. When his Lord and Master, emigrated to the New World, he followed dutifully even if he disliked the idea, but he owed Gwyn ap Nudd too much to fight him. Unlike many of the Beast Lords, he wasn't put down, nor put under a sleeping spell, nor held captive in prisons. He was let to his own devices as long as he checked in and kept his loyalties to his Masters.

For a long time he roamed the United States, hiding behind the guise of a traveler, but that changed when he met his spouse. After a long period of courting, he decided to finally let her see the beast within, to his amazement she accepted him and took him on the proposal of marriage. That was a trying time for him, after all his wife had become his number one weakness and the instrument to be use to manipulate him, it all got worse when his wife bear him a child. A half blooded fae daughter, he was gifted with and he made sure to dote on her as much as he could.

Peace had come to him finally, but that peace was disturbed once more when he was called back into the Gray Lords hold. He had to leave his wife and child to go to the Nevada fae territory to fulfill his duty, mainly because he was the Prince's right hand and because the life of both his beloved ones were going to be put in danger if he resisted. He has brought with him once more his hounds and has begun to work on the transition of calling all the fae back and barring the lands from the humans, although that has become a tough challenge.

Kassandra Smythe

Appearance:

Name: Kassandra Merillene Smythe

Age: 392 (Appears late 20's)

Race: Vampire

Powers: Like any Vampire she can cloud the mind of her Prey, implant false memories and send them on their way none the wiser; heal swiftly, and has increased strength and speed. Strong enough to live on her own, she keeps only a few pets in her home, preferring to feed on the transient masses that come through Vegas. She can also make herself unnoticeable; not invisible, just a trick that turns the eyes, making you not realize she is standing there which comes in handy when stalking her prey. As a human she had the Sight, as a Vampire it still comes on her at times, though with much less regularity, and usually only for something that will effect her life in some fashion.

Career: None, Independently wealthy

Personality: Kassandra is quiet and thoughtful, watchful and wary. She's intelligent and keeps her own counsel unless asked a specific question, and while she won't lie, she has an, almost Fae-like, ability to twist the truth so that what she says, and what you hear, may not be the same thing. She can be kind, but she chooses when to be so and when to be cold, and when to show outright cruelty.

She appears to have almost no temper, but people that cross her have a tendency to have bad things happen to them.

Background History: Born in 1621, Kassandra was the daughter of a Blacksmith whose mother died having her. Having no other children her father had no idea how to raise a girl, and so he raised her more like he would a son, teaching her the more delicate skills of his trade. While he forged swords, axes, and horseshoes, she learned to make daggers and jewelry for their village. As her skill in such small matter grew, so did her reputation and though it seemed to ruin her for marriage, a skilled silver/goldsmith came to see her work and took her as an apprentice despite her sex.

Learning her craft well, she became a skilled artisan and while she didn't earn world renown, she did draw the attention of a Vampire with an eye for both pretty things, and pretty women...and she could provide both. He was careful in his feed on her, making sure he didn't use her too often, in order to not only preserve her usefulness but so that she could continue to learn more of her trade, learn to make greater and more intricate baubles for him to enjoy. Eventually, of course, the inevitable happened and in a fugue he drank to deeply. He'd drunk often enough that her Rising was inevitable, but it ended her learning because it meant they had to move from the Master she was learning from. She was too well known in the town.

She spent decades with her first Master, serving his menagerie until she grew strong enough to strike out on her own, to take, and support, her own pets. Preferring to not have the sort of followers that many had, however, she moved from one large city to another, often feasting on those that none would miss. There were always poor, homeless, transient, people; people whose death on a cold night would go un-remarked entirely and certainly whose death wouldn't be laid at the feet of a talented artisan like herself.

In fact, she liked being able to move as swiftly and with as little notice so well, that she took great care never to have more than two "children" with her at any one time. Keeping her household limited, and improving her skills over time, allowed her to amass a small fortune, under a variety of names, that would, if counted in total, make the richest of men jealous if they were aware of it. Knowing the transient nature, and value, of "money", especially as the electronic age has made actual hard currency less and less common, much of her wealth is in actual hard coin, though she also owns large tracts of land, some with mineral rights that a number of modern corporations have been paying to lease from her "family" for generations.

Now she's come to Vegas, a large city with a hugely transient population. Her last "child" has struck out on his own and she is free to set herself up and find a new human worthy of being made Vampire...after serving her for a time of course. As always, she will have paid respect, and due homage, to the local Seethe and sought permission to remain in their city, and hunt their grounds, for a time...perhaps a decade or so, before she will move on. She pledges no undying loyalty to anyone, but always shows the proper respect for the powers in any territory she "visits".

I've got a male wolf/male vampire in the works. Sorry about the wait as it has been a long day today, hopefully either within the next few hours or at the very latest, by the morrow I shall have them posted as well. :-)

Do we have an Alpha yet? Perhaps someone in charge of the seethe? I am most willing to toss my hat in the ring but of course, I'd like to know what everybody thinks.

I'd say witches is more bloodlines. There is one character in the novels that's the son of the Marrok, the head werewolf, and Charles is werewolf and witch since he has some of his mother's abilities.

Lily "L" Moraine Brackston WIP


Name:
Lily "L" Moraine Brackston

Age:
Looks to be 22 but is actually 30

Race:
Werewolf

Powers (If any):
Lily has the ability to heal or manipulate the body inwardly, she uses her gift to not only help in her job. But also to help her fellow werewolves not only heal faster, but to heal from wounds that would normally end up killing even them. Stitching together wounds, helping expel silver and so forth. Her ability to manipulate the body also allows her to simulate emotional responses. Affecting a targets adrenaline, serotonin, steroids and so forth. In a way creating the affect of an emotion, excitement, anger, sleepiness, happiness, confidence, and even arousal. ( though her own emotions can affect this ability, and she has at times been known to project her own physical responses and affect someone around her.)

Due to the affect of the silver in her she is actually for now physically weaker then others of her kind. But there is one thing that astound even the other werewolves. Her speed is uncanny even for them, she always jokes about it was a given. Of course she is the fastest, she is a emergency response professional she has to be the first on the scene.

Career:
EMT

Personality:

Lily isn't as soft and sweet as her name would lead you to believe. She has a strong will, a loyal heart, is stubborn as hell, though she is a submissive within the pack. She is one to never say she can't, even if there are moments that she has to push that much harder then the others to accomplish something. In her line of work you don't just give up, and she carries that mentality throughout her life. But her heart can be clearly seen when she deals with those that really needs her help. A bit daring and unafraid at times, she has been known to run into situation that should run from just to safe someone else. 'What do you mean you ran into the line of fire from a gang shot out?' And despite her protected place in the pack, she is a healer, a fighter, and protector in her own right.

Her emotions now heightened have been known to get the best of her. But over time she has started to learn to find her center. She is a person of passion, when she gives in and embraces it she can be your worst enemy or the best lover you've ever had. She is heat, passion, exploration, strength, intelligence, all in one untamed and amazingly curvy well-toned body.

Appearance :



Background History:
Lily has been a mystery since the day she was born, her own mother never telling her who her father was. Just that he had to leave for his own reasons. But her mother always made sure that Lily knew she was loved. And for the first seven years of Lily's life she was truly happy and vibrant. As wild and curious as any other some girl should be. Lily knew love and a home even if her mother moved them around a lot. And she never once got sick, which was surprising to say the least. But her mother simply said Lily had good jeans. The truth of her parents and their origins was never told to her. Her mother thinking it best to keep that bit of information to herself till Lily was old enough to understand it all.

But her mother would never get the chance to do that. When she was 7 years old Lily and her mother were involved in horrible car accident. Somehow Lily was tossed 30 feet from the car and left unscathed, while her mother burned alive in the car. Lily watched as she lost her mother, heard her screams as she burned alive. The help that came had no real chance to try and save her. They took Lily and she ended up being put into the Las Vegas foster system. Which was lacking in favorable situations to say the least. Lily grew up fighting and surviving, she was still seemingly lost and angry about losing her mother. It wasn't until she was sent to an elderly woman that took in trouble kids that she found herself not only meeting her match. But feeling as if she had found a home again. The woman had a way of keeping people in check, and took in all sorts of people. Mama Rose as she was called really was a healer and leader. She helped encourage Lily to actually work at getting her education. And to find what her true passions were, Mama Rose really was a driving force to help Lily become the woman she was in the present day.

When she was 18 and finished with high school Lily saw to becoming a fully certified EMT. She took to the rule like it was second nature, though she was always known as a high risk responder. Lily was never afraid to be the one to head into the line of fire or head into the neighborhoods that most avoided like the plague. In her few years of service she has been tackled, attacked, shot at, nearly hit by cars, faced countless weather conditions, hell she once fought through a mud slide to get to a trapped woman needing assistance. Her partners always joke about her being a dare devil...and never knowing her own limits. In truth Lily didn't want to be the one that got somewhere to late, that didn't fight hard enough for someone. And ended up leaving another kid without a family.

As time passed Lily grew into one hell of a responder, and into an amazingly confident and strong woman. Men came and went as she just never found someone that clicked. But she always had friends around her. Friends that were in the end her family. Little did she know that there was more to the world than anyone thought. She always suspected, always thought there could be more with all that she had seen over the years. But she had no idea her father was really a werewolf, her mother connected to a line of witches. If there had been any werewolves left in the city that had known about her when she was little. They would have no doubt found her and given her a home. But it wasn't till they returned and tried to track down possible stragglers and discovered rumors of her birth. It was then that they started to look deeper into Lily's life to see what kind of woman she had become. Even if she was human she was still a female from a strong bloodline. And the possibility that could be made into one of them was to alluring to resist.

It was then a few of them approached her originally just out to get to know her better and see if she had the potential they sought. But she ended up becoming friends with them. It seemed to even the supernatural world she was hard to resist. Months past and Lily became close with her new friends. They kept her in the dark when it came to the truth of it all. That is until something happened that made it impossible to hide it.

It was a call like any other, shots fired, officer down and the area seemed to still be a war zone. So of course Lily's unit was quickly on the scene and she hopped out the back before they had even stopped moving. Her first step was to grab the officer that had been shot and drag him to where she could treat him. But as she was getting him stable more shots were fired. It was then she noticed the one of her new 'friends' running from a shooter. Well of course Lily couldn't let this be, so she had her partner tend to the cop as she ran with her case to get to what she was sure was another victim. Lily had no idea what was really going on, how the different types of supernatural could be going after one another.

What Lily saw nearly made her freeze for the first time in her life. She swore that her friend was growing claws and fangs, but it had to be a trick of the eye. Adrenalin was high and she clearly needed a few days off. When the shadowed assailant was on the move again she reacted, pushing 'her friend' out of the way. It was then she was hit with bullets, bullets she would find out were silver. The world blurred and all she saw was two figures suddenly impacting with one another.

She laid there, blood pooling around her and her heart slowing down. Lily didn't think when she got up that morning that it would be her last. If she had the idea of calling in may have been more appealing. The world was going dark around her when she felt her body being lifted. She tried to speak but nothing but mumbling came from her lips. She heard voice around her, like they were debating something. And then she felt more pain as if something was tarring into her flesh once more. A short scream came from her and then the world went dark.

She didn't know it then but when Lily woke up in a hospital surrounded by the people she had become friends with. Looking at her as if they were waiting for something to happen. That they were in fact waiting to see if she would live, if she would become one of them. The doctors informed her that the bullets had splintered and were near her heart and imbedded in her spine. But she seemed to have an infection that wasn't responding to treatment. And without her fever going down and her body stronger they couldn't go back in to surgery. Lily felt trapped in her own dying body, unable to even feel her legs. But as the doctors left one the pack stepped forward. It was then they explained the truth to her, and the fact that she may still die. That she still had to survive shifting, and repelling the silver that was in her system. But first they needed to get her out of the hospital. It was stupid, and probably the worst thing she could do. But something in her told her to go with it, even if it ended up being the end of her. So against doctors’ orders Lily signed herself out and went with the people that could actually just be insane.

It was 6 days before the full moon, and she was still so weak it worried those around her. But still Lily fought on; she was stubborn and wouldn't give in till her last breath left her. And with great surprise her body listened. Still human for the most part her body was healing much faster than it should be. Each day a more of the poisonous silver was pushed from her system. And her ever cheeky attitude seemed to come back as the days past. But only after her first change would they know if she was really strong enough to be one of them.

As the night of the fool moon came Lily meditated and tried to focus. Pushing the idea that she could end up dying that very night. She was still weak from some of the silver in her system. But at least she had her stubborn unwavering nature to back her up. As the time came the others sat with her, their own changes would come as well. At least no matter what happened Lily wouldn't be alone. As the time came pain ripped through her body. It was like her body was tarring apart trying to rearrange itself. She had never felt anything so intense, and utterly overwhelming. It wasn't till she felt someone else nudging her with a muzzle that she opened her eyes once more. She had not only lived through the changed, she had managed to almost heal completely. Her legs worked again...well all four of them in this form. And she felt stronger then she had even felt in her whole life.

From here Lily was taught about the ways and rules of being a werewolf. Found her place within the pack and within the new strange would that she now lived in. She also came into her new abilities, they were strange for a werewolf apparently and it did raise a few eyebrows. But in the end the pack accepted her for who she was. She did go back to work, and still found herself in interesting, dangerous, and unbelievable situations. Specially outside of work, with everything that had suddenly changed in her life. Lily had a whole new world in front of her, and even if it would take time to really find her place in it. Lily knew she wasn't alone while she did it.

Background History:

Leiha was born 1738 the world was a much different place. But it was starting to grow, expand and evolved into what would be what it is today. She was born in Europe on a chilly December evening.  Her family in service to a vampire, they saw to making sure the human workings and dealings went smoothly in everything the vampires did.  They earned the respect of their master after saving them from a church driven hunting. Her family helped fight in the ways they could. Even taking up swords themselves, despite the probably of their deaths. Their loyalty through the generations was clear. So when Leiha their already adored daughter grew ill and the doctors couldn't do anything to help her, they asked for a gift.

Her father went before their master and pleaded with him to save his beloved daughter. He agreed and told him to come to him by the week’s end with his daughter. But not two nights later the family home was attacked. It seemed the enemies of the vampire clan had set their eyes on her family. The night they came was the night her life changed completely. They came in the dead of night, no sound to warn them. Leiha woke from her sick bed to her family home burning around her. Screams and fighting still heard from all around her. Forcing her body to stand Leiha started to make her way out of her room. But she was cut off from any exits by a large man draped in layers of dark cloth. He knocked her already weak body into a wall and was about to strike her down. When he was suddenly stopped, barley continuous Leiha still isn't sure who had saved her. The last thing she remembers from that night was being lifted from the ground. And the image of her burning home falling away as darkness claimed her.

When she finally awoke Leiha had already been changed. Her fresh start given to her due to her families sacrifice. When she was told her whole family had parish and she was the sole survivor she barely kept herself together. Locking herself away in her room for weeks, refusing to feed as she wanted to die herself. It was only when one of the other vampires came in to speak with her. Told her she needed to stop running, and stop disrespecting her family’s lives by giving in so easily. It shook her from her stupor, and even with it still hurting she started to embrace the life newly given to her.

Creating their identities, shuffling their assets, keeping tabs on threats, and countless other tasks she actually enjoyed and took upon herself. Eventually come to the states and then Las Vegas. Continuing her work with the other vampires that sought out her expertise.



Caela

Was Lily a Witch before she was turned? I ask because things like Healing and physical manipulation are usually Witch talents not Wolf talents. If she was born a Witch though, it would explain the ability.

CurvyKitten

No I was actually going to have her be a human offspring from a human woman that had sex with a male werewolf before they ran from Nevada. She spent her life in the foster care system due to the fact that her mother died in a car accident when she was little. It could be that she was raised by a witch at some point, or maybe she didn't even know the power she had before she was turned? Maybe she just had an uncanny ability to safe people on the job and didn't really know why?

Ending up being raised by a Witch could be an interesting twist, but it would only help her if she had Witch blood. In the books witchcraft isn't something just anyone can learn, it's a part of the blood. Mostly it runs in distinct bloodlines, though sometimes weaker Witches are born outside of those bloodlines.

Not trying to be nit-picky, was just curious how you were going to explain a Wolf having Witch abilities. :D

CurvyKitten

I was sort of going with the idea and job set that was forming in my mind. Her powers or abilities being something that really is part of her. Her will to care for and safe people. Maybe the female was an off shoot of a witch blood line, and Lily had a weaker form of the blood. But since the woman died when she was little Lily never had that particular upbringing at least not in depth. She may not even know the truth of her blood line and what she was doing on the job. Hence the reason it was just dismissed as her skills and not some miracle. It wasn't until she was turned to a werewolf that she really got some true healing abilities.

Do you want her raised by a witch at some point her have it where she didn't even have an idea about it? That is if the idea is alright with you as it is.

It's not up to me, the call is Hekate's, I was just curious and asking questions. :D

CurvyKitten

Oh I assumed you were a co-gm or something with the way you were asking lol.

I'll let Hekate tell me what she thinks before I work on finishing Lily. Don't want to have her all typed up and then have to rewrite all of her afterward.

Ray Banner

Just waiting on Hekate to give me the go for the Alpha, or someone running one of the seethes. I have the characters ready, will make the tweaks and put them up as soon as I hear from her. :-)

So I do want to play, but I keep getting distractions for making a char.

I also note the lack of males. I could play a male, but he would be gay, and I'm afraid that would put me off in the corner, which is one of the reasons I've downsized my Group Games.

I'll keep watching though, and hopefully inspiration will strike. I'm still leaning towards Were, and I hope at the latest to be able to have a character by this weekend, if that's not to late!

Name: John Lambert

Age: 68 (Appears in his mid-20s)

Race: Werewolf (Alpha)

Careers: Runs a business called “Lambert Securities Inc.” His business provides services such as diplomatic security, law enforcement training, risk-management counseling, close quarter training and logistics. Whilst the firm deals with the government in general, it does provide services to the locals such armed escorts and bodyguards for the right price, which someone is always willing to pay in Vegas.

Powers:

Ability to call upon ‘berserker rage’ once a day, this allows John to become extremely powerful. Enough to either break through several slabs/walls of concrete, lift ten times the amount of his weight or gain a high enough speed to run across a body of water. This lasts between two to five minutes.

Personality:

Hot-headed, fiery and oft belligerent at proving his point, John is as bull headed as they come. He carries about an air of superiority to him wherever he goes and does not kindly take to no for an answer. He is surprisingly rational however and possesses a ‘business sense’ which had served him well in the past. This enables him to spot a good deal or a profitable transaction, whether it is monetary, diplomatic or purely human in nature. He weighs each option, uses mercy as a tool and is quick in dishing out punishment when needed. It is not a surprise however when his temper gets the best of his political self.

Appearance:

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Background History:

Part of the Green Beret entourage for diplomats John Lambert was amongst the very first Americans who set foot in Vietnam during the 60s. After that it was all about kicking ass and chewing gum and John did a bit of both. Having grown up in an orphanage he had exercised his dog-eat-dog rights to get as far in life as he could however nothing prepared him for what came afterwards, not even his training.

During a certain engagement John was taken hostage by a group of friendlies his company was supposed to be protecting, those South Vietnamese… or so John thought. Of course what followed was something he could never have been prepared for. This group of South Vietnamese was a pack of werewolves and John was to be a part of their hostage exchange with the North, a deal conducted without anybody else’s knowledge. As is the manner of things, this exchange went terrible. John was bit and left to die however he survived. Consumed by his bloodlust and this new power, John sought out this group of South Vietnamese – and after an initiation – was accepted as one of them. He was to retain his duties as a soldier whilst corresponding directly with this group… after all they were on the same side. In the next several years, most of his pack were either wiped out or ousted as power changed hands and John found himself a rogue once more.

He left soon after and even wondered if perhaps his wolf side would no longer exist within the US but of course, he was wrong. Quick to hunt down rogues within the states of Nevada, California and Arizona John established his own pack – and put those to death who refused to be a part of his community – so that he may continue the hierarchy he had come to love. He established Lambert Securities Inc. within Vegas in the mid-80s and ever since then, had exercised complete power in the vicinity except for subservience to the Marrok, when he is called upon to offer it.

lol...The brash part won't bother her, the bull-headed might! I get the impression he'll test her patience...and she'll drive him slightly nuts since she'll be the one person in the Pack who won't have to instant hop-to when he snarls at her. :D That's one of the fun bits of writing an Omega in this Verse. Everyone else in the Pack has to obey those of a higher rank, but an Omega has no actual rank. Granted it's smarter to do what your Alpha wants, but she doesn't have to.  ;D

Exactly, I'm really looking forward to their dynamic.

I see we don't have any more wolves, bah... if need be I'm willing to play NPCs (might forego on that vampire for now) for the pack. I do have some very interesting ideas for at least three of the pack members.

Suffice to say I haven't read any of the books, but they are oft talked about under our roof, therefore the familiarity. There might be things I write/say that aren't exactly Mercy-esque, feel free to correct me. The John is apt to bite your neck off, I on the other hand should welcome any and all corrections. :-)

John won't bite her throat out. She'll enjoy irritating him, but not quite that badly! :D

We can make NPC's as we need to round things out when needed. Am willing to make some as well if we need to. Though my NPC's do have a tendency to take on a life of their own if I make use of them much! lol

Yeah I am always willing to make NPC, but like Caela they usually end up being more. And next thing I know I have 5 or six characters running around. :P

Indeed. :) And maybe if I feel the need to make a 3rd character, it could be wolf. I'm just kind of burned out on playing another werewolf since I have about four or more werewolf solo RP's going on right now. Laughs.

Oh perfect! Hekate's been a busy kitten, but I'm certain once she surfaces she will shed the much needed light. :-)

Oh not for being irritating, silly. He probably only does that to uberly annoying people. ~Laughs~

I know what you gals mean about the NPCs, all these voices wanting to be heard and their forms seen!

Rawr!Listenme!Nip!Bite!Rawr!Bark!Yip!

~smirks~ Well in that case, he should keep in mind that Stephanie bites back!  >:)

Nods I have her story bouncing around my head. I may ask you fellow wolves if you want to be part of her BG or if I should just use NPC's. I like to write stuff that allows for growth, depth, and all sorts of links for rp goodness.

I have my vampire already up and done as far as I can see, I concept I tried to play in another game that died rather quickly. And as I said I already have a few other idea's bouncing around my head lol. A stripper snake shifter...hmmmm debates. :P

I'm happy to work out some background plottings if you like. :) Oh! Just a thought, if you want her to be ranked in the Pack, you'll want to make her a damned skilled fighter. Rank is won by fighting, very very few female Wolves are Dominant to begin with and usually a female Wolf takes her rank from her Mate not on her own merits. It's utterly sexist but also rather amusing when a lower ranked Male comes up against a female whose Mate ranks higher than him (thus making her rank higher than his even though he could probably beat her in a fight). It makes for some amusing tensions.

Oh she is a fighter, the type of woman that doesn't now quit or can't. She is an emergency response person in some of the worst neighborhoods so she has to know how to handle herself to survive. She is also the type of woman to go in the worst situations despite the possibility of getting hurt to safe a life. I know she can't have to much of a position one because you have the omega and two because of the way she is. She is dominate or stubborn when it comes to work or her beliefs, but on some aspects she isn't the type to put up to big a fuss. she picks her battles wisely lol (hopefully that made sense...lol)

Sounds like a Beta (the books call them submissive, but I find that to be a bit misleading since they aren't necessarily actually submissive in any way, just not Dominant/Alpha) type. She can take charge, but won't necessarily fight for it. It's actually a good thing, the "submissives" in the books far outnumber the Dominants and serve much the same function, though to a much smaller degree as an Omega. Dominants have a strong urge to protect and care for the submissives of their Pack and the more of them you have, the better controlled the Dominants tempers usually are.

And Stephanie doesn't actually have any rank. Omega's are weird that way. They are entirely outside the Pack structure. They sort of have to be to be able to do their jobs, and their abilities put them there as well. They are as protective as any Alpha though, without the pissy temper! :D

Callie Del Noire



Name: Shane Chavez
Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Age: 25
Race: Half-fae (Mexican-American ethnicity, American Citizen)
Powers: Metal magic, immense strength, resilience.
-Metal Magic: With a thought he can deform most metals but the most complex alloys with a touch and thought as well as being able to reshape them with concentration. He can manipulate metal devices fairly easy (locks and such) but the more 'modern' options tend to frustrate his powers due to his lack of fine control and/or modern plastics within. He can infuse metal with heat as well.
-Inhuman resilience/strength. His 'metal magic' makes it hard to hurt him with a metallic weapon. Bullets, knives and an aluminum baseball bat have all be used with no harm, but a sideswipe from a pickup had him limping for weeks and wearing a leg brace while his cracked leg healed. He has put  his hand through a car door fairly easy. He can lift up to a half ton with proper preparation and has flipped a fully loaded half ton panel van with great effort. He also is somewhat resilient to intense heat and has handled a red hot horseshoe.
Career: College student, Blogger/Journalist, Freelance process server, Intern (Las Vegas SD, on suspension)
Personality: He has a strong sense of justice and desire to be a law officer. His 'indefinite suspension' and the continued interference by 'outside agencies' with his reinstatement with the Las Vegas Sheriff Department has made him feel a bit frustrated and he's taken to his studies, social reform efforts and blogging about the 'half-blood' situation. His physical ability, connections to the community make it easy for him to talk to dozens of people throughout the greater Vegas region to
Appearance :
Background History: Shane hadn't met his father when his mother, an anthropology professor died of cancer. She had left him with a lot of questions, a truly epic collection of Jazz records and one of the most extensive collections of Fae lore in the human world. He grew up knowing how to watch for Fae, knowing to not say thank you to them, understanding how the 'Gentry' could not lie but shade the truth. She introduced him to a bunch of the lesser fae over the years. After a while he started to suspect that he was a half-blood but it wasn't till after her death that he found a note and a picture. The picture was a nondescript man with his mother as a social mixer. The note attached to the read a simple phrase: 'The Smith of Capel Ceyln'. He stayed with his grandmother, another scholarly woman in the family. She had been a reporter who covered migrant rights and labor issues before retiring to work in the local university. She took him around the area, and he rapidly learned to 'network' with all manner of folk.
When he turned 18, he came into his power. He got shot in a drive by shooting. Finding that the bullet never even punctured his skin was just the start. He helped the LVSD find the shooters (the shooters had been gunning for a classmate who died in the shooting) and started considering a role in law enforcement. With the revelation of the Fae, he got a scholarship and offers to be a 'Fae consultant' in law enforcement. He is currently studying a dual degree in Fae Studies (mostly history/anthropology) and Law Enforcement at UNLV. With the 'withdraw' of the Fae to the reservations and the impending 'war' his internship with the LVSD has been put on hold ('Indefinite Suspension' due to the change in the program he was interned under). He suspects that someone in CANTRIP shut him out. To cover his school his expenses he's been serving papers for various companies, lawyers and such. He is considering repoing cars using his powers, and has been experimenting in a friend's local junk yard using blank keys and salvaged cars.



Name:  Accalia (Diana Hunter)
Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide
Age: 23 (2000+, most of the last 800 years imprisoned.)
Race: Fae
Powers: Faerie; One of the last of the 'Beast Lords'. She walks the line between 'Beast Lord' and something closer to the positions that Gray Lords hold. Much of her power has been lost in the passing years since her imprisonment. She was a huntress and patron of the 'shifting kin' or Weres of Europe and the Middle East for centuries and was known to travel far. Her gifts and powers allowed her to assume the form of any beast she whose power she had tasted, a knack that she retains though it is now out of her control (IE. GM decides when/if she can taste the power of any Were).

She recently escaped from the sculpture she was bound in, though she recalls little of who betrayed her or how she came to be in it. She can call forth her weapons, a bow, sword and dagger of Faerie make. Though again, the weapons power is greatly diminished in her time imprisoned. Her senses, physical abilities and skill as a hunter are still beyond that of any human. Her only other power of note is the ability to call any animal to her. (Though Were and other shifters hear her call, they can easily ignore her). She can speak and understand any beast. The forms she misses most are those of the birds as she misses flying.

Her gift for Glamour is more a knack for hiding though she can hide some of her animal traits. (Her eyes, ears and talons)
Career: 'Diane Hunter' is a well known nature photographer but hasn't been seen publicly since the 'retreat'.

Personality: Confused by this new world and a bit scared. She is looking for a niche in a world radically different from any that she had imagined before her imprisonment. She is a proud warrior and angry at the loss of her personal power, her followers and her 'debt' to those that freed her. She despises much of the 'New World' and wishes to find a way to return to the Underhill, where she imagines that she could find some clue to her fallen kin and followers. She knows she exists only on the strength of the Morrigan and her past 'services' with them.

Appearance : She tends towards dark black hair, alabaster skin, with nails tending towards claws and intensely green eyes. She
Background History:Once she was one of the great Beast Lords, a mistress of the Wild Hunt. Her powers over the animals and shifting kin granted her the ability to call forth all manner of creatures and beasts to aid her in the hunting of those she was set to find for the Gray Lords. Then she was betrayed and bound in a sculpture of bronze for centuries. Only recently has the prison's magic diminished enough to let her slip free.
Only the intervention of The Morrigan, the three Gray Lords who were the celt goddesses of war she had served often in the past, kept her from being killed out of hand. Being more 'sensible' than most of the 'Beasts' allowed her to remain alive. She has been given an identity and taught the 'rules' of the modern world as well as English.
With the 'retreat', she has withdrawn into the Underhill but has found it.. galling. She dislikes being 'imprisoned' and 'running', as a result she has become among those who argue that retreating is the wrong movement and has pushed to be allowed to return to the mortal realm. She feels that 'hiding' makes the Fae weak and encourages the forces that allowed a killer to go free. Secretly she feels that the Prince should have called upon the Hunt for vengeance rather than partaking it himself though she respects his strength to do so on his own.

Lily "L" Moraine Brackston WIP


Name:
Lily "L" Moraine Brackston

Age:
Looks to be 22 but is actually 30

Race:
Werewolf

Powers (If any):
Lily has the ability to heal or manipulate the body inwardly, she uses her gift to not only help in her job. But also to help her fellow werewolves not only heal faster, but to heal from wounds that would normally end up killing even them. Stitching together wounds, helping expel silver and so forth. Her ability to manipulate the body also allows her to simulate emotional responses. Affecting a targets adrenaline, serotonin, steroids and so forth. In a way creating the affect of an emotion, excitement, anger, sleepiness, happiness, confidence, and even arousal. ( though her own emotions can affect this ability, and she has at times been known to project her own physical responses and affect someone around her.)

Due to the affect of the silver in her she is actually for now physically weaker then others of her kind. But there is one thing that astound even the other werewolves. Her speed is uncanny even for them, she always jokes about it was a given. Of course she is the fastest, she is a emergency response professional she has to be the first on the scene.

Career:
EMT

Personality:

Lily isn't as soft and sweet as her name would lead you to believe. She has a strong will, a loyal heart, is stubborn as hell, though she is a submissive within the pack. She is one to never say she can't, even if there are moments that she has to push that much harder then the others to accomplish something. In her line of work you don't just give up, and she carries that mentality throughout her life. But her heart can be clearly seen when she deals with those that really needs her help. A bit daring and unafraid at times, she has been known to run into situation that should run from just to safe someone else. 'What do you mean you ran into the line of fire from a gang shot out?' And despite her protected place in the pack, she is a healer, a fighter, and protector in her own right.

Her emotions now heightened have been known to get the best of her. But over time she has started to learn to find her center. She is a person of passion, when she gives in and embraces it she can be your worst enemy or the best lover you've ever had. She is heat, passion, exploration, strength, intelligence, all in one untamed and amazingly curvy well-toned body.

Appearance :



Background History:
Lily has been a mystery since the day she was born, her own mother never telling her who her father was. Just that he had to leave for his own reasons. But her mother always made sure that Lily knew she was loved. And for the first seven years of Lily's life she was truly happy and vibrant. As wild and curious as any other some girl should be. Lily knew love and a home even if her mother moved them around a lot. And she never once got sick, which was surprising to say the least. But her mother simply said Lily had good jeans. The truth of her parents and their origins was never told to her. Her mother thinking it best to keep that bit of information to herself till Lily was old enough to understand it all.

But her mother would never get the chance to do that. When she was 7 years old Lily and her mother were involved in horrible car accident. Somehow Lily was tossed 30 feet from the car and left unscathed, while her mother burned alive in the car. Lily watched as she lost her mother, heard her screams as she burned alive. The help that came had no real chance to try and save her. They took Lily and she ended up being put into the Las Vegas foster system. Which was lacking in favorable situations to say the least. Lily grew up fighting and surviving, she was still seemingly lost and angry about losing her mother. It wasn't until she was sent to an elderly woman that took in trouble kids that she found herself not only meeting her match. But feeling as if she had found a home again. The woman had a way of keeping people in check, and took in all sorts of people. Mama Rose as she was called really was a healer and leader. She helped encourage Lily to actually work at getting her education. And to find what her true passions were, Mama Rose really was a driving force to help Lily become the woman she was in the present day.

When she was 18 and finished with high school Lily saw to becoming a fully certified EMT. She took to the rule like it was second nature, though she was always known as a high risk responder. Lily was never afraid to be the one to head into the line of fire or head into the neighborhoods that most avoided like the plague. In her few years of service she has been tackled, attacked, shot at, nearly hit by cars, faced countless weather conditions, hell she once fought through a mud slide to get to a trapped woman needing assistance. Her partners always joke about her being a dare devil...and never knowing her own limits. In truth Lily didn't want to be the one that got somewhere to late, that didn't fight hard enough for someone. And ended up leaving another kid without a family.

As time passed Lily grew into one hell of a responder, and into an amazingly confident and strong woman. Men came and went as she just never found someone that clicked. But she always had friends around her. Friends that were in the end her family. Little did she know that there was more to the world than anyone thought. She always suspected, always thought there could be more with all that she had seen over the years. But she had no idea her father was really a werewolf, her mother connected to a line of witches. If there had been any werewolves left in the city that had known about her when she was little. They would have no doubt found her and given her a home. But it wasn't till they returned and tried to track down possible stragglers and discovered rumors of her birth. It was then that they started to look deeper into Lily's life to see what kind of woman she had become. Even if she was human she was still a female from a strong bloodline. And the possibility that could be made into one of them was to alluring to resist.

It was then a few of them approached her originally just out to get to know her better and see if she had the potential they sought. But she ended up becoming friends with them. It seemed to even the supernatural world she was hard to resist. Months past and Lily became close with her new friends. They kept her in the dark when it came to the truth of it all. That is until something happened that made it impossible to hide it.

It was a call like any other, shots fired, officer down and the area seemed to still be a war zone. So of course Lily's unit was quickly on the scene and she hopped out the back before they had even stopped moving. Her first step was to grab the officer that had been shot and drag him to where she could treat him. But as she was getting him stable more shots were fired. It was then she noticed the one of her new 'friends' running from a shooter. Well of course Lily couldn't let this be, so she had her partner tend to the cop as she ran with her case to get to what she was sure was another victim. Lily had no idea what was really going on, how the different types of supernatural could be going after one another.

What Lily saw nearly made her freeze for the first time in her life. She swore that her friend was growing claws and fangs, but it had to be a trick of the eye. Adrenalin was high and she clearly needed a few days off. When the shadowed assailant was on the move again she reacted, pushing 'her friend' out of the way. It was then she was hit with bullets, bullets she would find out were silver. The world blurred and all she saw was two figures suddenly impacting with one another.

She laid there, blood pooling around her and her heart slowing down. Lily didn't think when she got up that morning that it would be her last. If she had the idea of calling in may have been more appealing. The world was going dark around her when she felt her body being lifted. She tried to speak but nothing but mumbling came from her lips. She heard voice around her, like they were debating something. And then she felt more pain as if something was tarring into her flesh once more. A short scream came from her and then the world went dark.

She didn't know it then but when Lily woke up in a hospital surrounded by the people she had become friends with. Looking at her as if they were waiting for something to happen. That they were in fact waiting to see if she would live, if she would become one of them. The doctors informed her that the bullets had splintered and were near her heart and imbedded in her spine. But she seemed to have an infection that wasn't responding to treatment. And without her fever going down and her body stronger they couldn't go back in to surgery. Lily felt trapped in her own dying body, unable to even feel her legs. But as the doctors left one the pack stepped forward. It was then they explained the truth to her, and the fact that she may still die. That she still had to survive shifting, and repelling the silver that was in her system. But first they needed to get her out of the hospital. It was stupid, and probably the worst thing she could do. But something in her told her to go with it, even if it ended up being the end of her. So against doctors’ orders Lily signed herself out and went with the people that could actually just be insane.

It was 6 days before the full moon, and she was still so weak it worried those around her. But still Lily fought on; she was stubborn and wouldn't give in till her last breath left her. And with great surprise her body listened. Still human for the most part her body was healing much faster than it should be. Each day a more of the poisonous silver was pushed from her system. And her ever cheeky attitude seemed to come back as the days past. But only after her first change would they know if she was really strong enough to be one of them.

As the night of the fool moon came Lily meditated and tried to focus. Pushing the idea that she could end up dying that very night. She was still weak from some of the silver in her system. But at least she had her stubborn unwavering nature to back her up. As the time came the others sat with her, their own changes would come as well. At least no matter what happened Lily wouldn't be alone. As the time came pain ripped through her body. It was like her body was tarring apart trying to rearrange itself. She had never felt anything so intense, and utterly overwhelming. It wasn't till she felt someone else nudging her with a muzzle that she opened her eyes once more. She had not only lived through the changed, she had managed to almost heal completely. Her legs worked again...well all four of them in this form. And she felt stronger then she had even felt in her whole life.

From here Lily was taught about the ways and rules of being a werewolf. Found her place within the pack and within the new strange would that she now lived in. She also came into her new abilities, they were strange for a werewolf apparently and it did raise a few eyebrows. But in the end the pack accepted her for who she was. She did go back to work, and still found herself in interesting, dangerous, and unbelievable situations. Specially outside of work, with everything that had suddenly changed in her life. Lily had a whole new world in front of her, and even if it would take time to really find her place in it. Lily knew she wasn't alone while she did it.

Personality:

Leiha...Aden...L...Aura, and countless other names through the years. Leiha may be of a younger generation, but what she lacks in power. She greatly makes up in intelligence. Born just before the start of the Industrial Revolution, and turned as it started to truly begin. She has always been one to watch the and study the world around her as it evolved. Her youthful and curious nature never seemed to fade even as the countless decades past her by.

Weight
120
measurements
34c-24-35


Background History:

Leiha was born 1738 the world was a much different place. But it was starting to grow, expand and evolved into what would be what it is today. She was born in Europe on a chilly December evening.  Her family in service to a vampire, they saw to making sure the human workings and dealings went smoothly in everything the vampires did.  They earned the respect of their master after saving them from a church driven hunting. Her family helped fight in the ways they could. Even taking up swords themselves, despite the probably of their deaths. Their loyalty through the generations was clear. So when Leiha their already adored daughter grew ill and the doctors couldn't do anything to help her, they asked for a gift.

Her father went before their master and pleaded with him to save his beloved daughter. He agreed and told him to come to him by the week’s end with his daughter. But not two nights later the family home was attacked. It seemed the enemies of the vampire clan had set their eyes on her family. The night they came was the night her life changed completely. They came in the dead of night, no sound to warn them. Leiha woke from her sick bed to her family home burning around her. Screams and fighting still heard from all around her. Forcing her body to stand Leiha started to make her way out of her room. But she was cut off from any exits by a large man draped in layers of dark cloth. He knocked her already weak body into a wall and was about to strike her down. When he was suddenly stopped, barley continuous Leiha still isn't sure who had saved her. The last thing she remembers from that night was being lifted from the ground. And the image of her burning home falling away as darkness claimed her.

When she finally awoke Leiha had already been changed. Her fresh start given to her due to her families sacrifice. When she was told her whole family had parish and she was the sole survivor she barely kept herself together. Locking herself away in her room for weeks, refusing to feed as she wanted to die herself. It was only when one of the other vampires came in to speak with her. Told her she needed to stop running, and stop disrespecting her family’s lives by giving in so easily. It shook her from her stupor, and even with it still hurting she started to embrace the life newly given to her.

As years past she grew to enjoy the freedoms she had been given. And Leiha came to love the idea that she had all the time in the world to learn everything she wanted. And with the blessing of those above her she took to learning everything as it came along.

Creating their identities, shuffling their assets, keeping tabs on threats, and countless other tasks she actually enjoyed and took upon herself. Eventually come to the states and then Las Vegas. Continuing her work with the other vampires that sought out her expertise.

Name: Talulah Powma "Rain" - "Heavy Rain" - "Leaping water"

Age: Twenty six (November 20: 3:15 a.m.)

Race: Walker

Powers: Can effectively transform into a Raven at will. Rain is also sensitive to magics, and it's not difficult for her to identify vampires, fae, werewolfs, and/or witches. Further, Rain can feel death. When something dies, she senses it, no matter the distance. However, the closer she happens to be to the incident, the more intense the experience. She feels it like a sound, and a light, it's not particularly scary, or intimidating. It all depends on how much or how little Rain cares about the being that is losing it's life.

Career: Rain grew up on the reservation in Lyon county. She was fourteen when life begin to take every twist and turn for the odd. For now, We'll say that Rain is one of the best bartenders in Vegas. Customers don't particularly like her, it's her employers that benefit from her. She pours drinks properly without under or over serving. She holds her own in arguments with belligerent men. She's gorgeous, and she shares tips with the tills. She's worked all over town, but prefers to work in Casinos, the reasons are succinct as follows: People lose their entire bank accounts there, it's funny to her - Rain is a predator, and the Casino's are full of prey (metaphorically) - the men tip higher - the women don't talk to her as much as bars and clubs - drinks are more expensive, therefor, it's a better environment to work in. - Prostitutes go from one way to another, she lives vicariously through them, watching them, and hiring them on occasion. - she can smoke inside. - they wages are good. - The list goes on.


Personality: Rain is dark, demented, unfocused, and full of character flaws. She does get sick enjoyment out of other's suffering. Within this, is the idea that one must suffer in order to grow, and Rain knows this at the center of her being. The humor comes from the fact that people usually handle these situations poorly. This is more prominent in her exchange with strangers. She does exude this energy with her friends as well, typically helping through the scenarios, rather than just blowing a chuckled breathe of smoke in their face. Rain prefers a large circle of friends, for she is an intensly social woman. She has learned to appreciate company of honest folks, and she does treat her friends with utmost respect most of the time.

She's a sexual creature, and a lot of her thought-patterns revolve around getting laid. She is incredibly persuasive, and creative with her language. It almost seems like she can talk ideas into people's heads, forcing them to bide by her will. Of course, she has no real power in this sense, unless one considers her sexuality and her charisma as power. She prefers to dance alone, or with multiple partners, this is the exact opposite in the bedroom. Rain is not an artist, by any stretch of the word, she is an oppurtunist, a trickster, and devious.  Drunk, she gets angry fast, and only the prospect of middle-eastern food or sex distract her enough to drop the grudge and move on with life. See, Rain is greedy, she has never turned down food, or left her plate empty. She likes to smoke, and eat, and fuck. Money is no object to her, objects are objects to her.

She gets along better with men than she does women. She has a distanced connection with her tribe. She feels like her people have lost their ways, through no fault of their own. She feels lucky to be alive, and lucky to be as gifted as she is. But, the Paiute way is more alive in her than the collective culture that she came from. This belief is firmly held in her mind. If Rain can get away with it, she lets people believe that she's white. If the conversation arises though, she holds no shame of her own past or her ancestor's.

Appearance : Only 5'4 inches tall, obviously thin, about 121 lbs. Rain's appearance is about as accurate as the pictures in the spoiler. Rain is petite, her breasts and her hips hardly hold the shape of a woman's body. Her greatest feature is her tuned abdomen/chalice. Her olive skin tans into a light brown every spring, and it doesn't fade until the beginning of winter. The only suggested difference between Rain's actual appearance, and these two girls in the photos is that Rain's eyes are a dark dark brown. And, she would likely appear to be more native than either of these two, but she has caucassion in her blood, so not too much.
photos- be careful at work




Background History: Rain lived a sad life as a native child. She had two older brother's that each seemed to abandon the tribe when they were little. They spent their time with white kids from off of the reservation. She had chosen to associate with her people, though. It was a difficult, uneasy existence for such a young person. She was well aware of her abilities, and she had felt cursed for most of that time. Her mother was Spanish, and German. So, she was horrified to discover that her daughter turned into a crow. Her father insisted that Leaping Water was a Raven, one of the most important, and enigmatic creature in the world. He told his wife of Raven myths from other tribes in the area, for the Paiute did not have a popular myth for the Raven. She was swayed, and she stayed with her family, as dysfunctional as their future seemed to be.

Rain was told to keep her abilities hidden, however, her father was unaware of how deep her power went. Her sense of death started to scare people. She would always stumble upon creatures, or sometimes people recently deceased. Some begin to suspect her a demon of some kind. Others were more convinced that she was sent to Earth to deal with the grief of others. She didn't like either of these ideas. She started to rebel against everyone. And what she did from the ages of fourteen to sixteen will never be forgiven. Her parents begin to despise her, and Rain ostracized herself by choice before she leanred complex algebra in school.

Rain used her teenagers years like an endless well of entertainment. She moved out of the reservation, and started to make her way in the world with dirty jobs, especially for a girl her age. There were two years spent in the shadows of the evil under carriage of Vegas. She took for the desert city immediately. She worked hard, no matter what that work was. And no man could deny her sexuality. It oozed from her, so she took room and board for exchanges of sex. Officially, She was a prostitute, and a stripper the moment she turned eighteen, and she turned to hard drugs as an escape from this life-style. Her favorite substance was weed, but she also used coke, and black-tar smokable opium. Liquor made a steady appearance once or twice a day. She never spent her money on anything productive, and she eventually turned to theft in order to make ends meet. This landed her in a correctional facility for non-violent women of the tribe causing trouble in society. She's never had an official arrest or felony on her record, likely due to the fact that her tribe is protecting her.

At the age of twenty four, she entered back into the world as a functional bartender. Every now and again she has the urge to start turning tricks again. That is, the old tricks, the drugs, and the sex. Her everyday existence is a mild version of that whore that she used to be.

Thank you for making the changes and answering my questions, Photo!

Name: Shane Chavez
Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Age: 25
Race: Half-fae (Mexican-American ethnicity, American Citizen)
Powers: Metal magic, immense strength, resilience.
-Metal Magic: With a thought he can deform most metals but the most complex alloys with a touch and thought as well as being able to reshape them with concentration. He can manipulate metal devices fairly easy (locks and such) but the more 'modern' options tend to frustrate his powers due to his lack of fine control and/or modern plastics within. He can infuse metal with heat as well.
-Inhuman resilience/strength. His 'metal magic' makes it hard to hurt him with a metallic weapon. Bullets, knives and an aluminum baseball bat have all be used with no harm, but a sideswipe from a pickup had him limping for weeks and wearing a leg brace while his cracked leg healed. He has put  his hand through a car door fairly easy. He can lift up to a half ton with proper preparation and has flipped a fully loaded half ton panel van with great effort. He also is somewhat resilient to intense heat and has handled a red hot horseshoe.
Career: College student, Blogger/Journalist, Freelance process server, Intern (Las Vegas SD, on suspension)
Personality: He has a strong sense of justice and desire to be a law officer. His 'indefinite suspension' and the continued interference by 'outside agencies' with his reinstatement with the Las Vegas Sheriff Department has made him feel a bit frustrated and he's taken to his studies, social reform efforts and blogging about the 'half-blood' situation. His physical ability, connections to the community make it easy for him to talk to dozens of people throughout the greater Vegas region to
Appearance :
Background History: Shane hadn't met his father when his mother, an anthropology professor died of cancer. She had left him with a lot of questions, a truly epic collection of Jazz records and one of the most extensive collections of Fae lore in the human world. He grew up knowing how to watch for Fae, knowing to not say thank you to them, understanding how the 'Gentry' could not lie but shade the truth. She introduced him to a bunch of the lesser fae over the years. After a while he started to suspect that he was a half-blood but it wasn't till after her death that he found a note and a picture. The picture was a nondescript man with his mother as a social mixer. The note attached to the read a simple phrase: 'The Smith of Capel Ceyln'. He stayed with his grandmother, another scholarly woman in the family. She had been a reporter who covered migrant rights and labor issues before retiring to work in the local university. She took him around the area, and he rapidly learned to 'network' with all manner of folk.
When he turned 18, he came into his power. He got shot in a drive by shooting. Finding that the bullet never even punctured his skin was just the start. He helped the LVSD find the shooters (the shooters had been gunning for a classmate who died in the shooting) and started considering a role in law enforcement. With the revelation of the Fae, he got a scholarship and offers to be a 'Fae consultant' in law enforcement. He is currently studying a dual degree in Fae Studies (mostly history/anthropology) and Law Enforcement at UNLV. With the 'withdraw' of the Fae to the reservations and the impending 'war' his internship with the LVSD has been put on hold ('Indefinite Suspension' due to the change in the program he was interned under). He suspects that someone in CANTRIP shut him out. To cover his school his expenses he's been serving papers for various companies, lawyers and such. He is considering repoing cars using his powers, and has been experimenting in a friend's local junk yard using blank keys and salvaged cars.



Name:  Accalia (Diana Hunter)
Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide
Age: 23 (2000+, most of the last 800 years imprisoned.)
Race: Fae
Powers: Faerie; One of the last of the 'Beast Lords'. She walks the line between 'Beast Lord' and something closer to the positions that Gray Lords hold. Much of her power has been lost in the passing years since her imprisonment. She was a huntress and patron of the 'shifting kin' or Weres of Europe and the Middle East for centuries and was known to travel far. Her gifts and powers allowed her to assume the form of any beast she whose power she had tasted, a knack that she retains though it is now out of her control (IE. GM decides when/if she can taste the power of any Were).

She recently escaped from the sculpture she was bound in, though she recalls little of who betrayed her or how she came to be in it. She can call forth her weapons, a bow, sword and dagger of Faerie make. Though again, the weapons power is greatly diminished in her time imprisoned. Her senses, physical abilities and skill as a hunter are still beyond that of any human. Her only other power of note is the ability to call any animal to her. (Though Were and other shifters hear her call, they can easily ignore her). She can speak and understand any beast. The forms she misses most are those of the birds as she misses flying.

Her gift for Glamour is more a knack for hiding though she can hide some of her animal traits. (Her eyes, ears and talons)
Career: 'Diane Hunter' is a well known nature photographer but hasn't been seen publicly since the 'retreat'.

Personality: Confused by this new world and a bit scared. She is looking for a niche in a world radically different from any that she had imagined before her imprisonment. She is a proud warrior and angry at the loss of her personal power, her followers and her 'debt' to those that freed her. She despises much of the 'New World' and wishes to find a way to return to the Underhill, where she imagines that she could find some clue to her fallen kin and followers. She knows she exists only on the strength of the Morrigan and her past 'services' with them.

Appearance : She tends towards dark black hair, alabaster skin, with nails tending towards claws and intensely green eyes. She
Background History:Once she was one of the great Beast Lords, a mistress of the Wild Hunt. Her powers over the animals and shifting kin granted her the ability to call forth all manner of creatures and beasts to aid her in the hunting of those she was set to find for the Gray Lords. Then she was betrayed and bound in a sculpture of bronze for centuries. Only recently has the prison's magic diminished enough to let her slip free.
Only the intervention of The Morrigan, the three Gray Lords who were the celt goddesses of war she had served often in the past, kept her from being killed out of hand. Being more 'sensible' than most of the 'Beasts' allowed her to remain alive. She has been given an identity and taught the 'rules' of the modern world as well as English.
With the 'retreat', she has withdrawn into the Underhill but has found it.. galling. She dislikes being 'imprisoned' and 'running', as a result she has become among those who argue that retreating is the wrong movement and has pushed to be allowed to return to the mortal realm. She feels that 'hiding' makes the Fae weak and encourages the forces that allowed a killer to go free. Secretly she feels that the Prince should have called upon the Hunt for vengeance rather than partaking it himself though she respects his strength to do so on his own.

Lovely Callie!

Well done! *APPROVED*

So I do want to play, but I keep getting distractions for making a char.

I also note the lack of males. I could play a male, but he would be gay, and I'm afraid that would put me off in the corner, which is one of the reasons I've downsized my Group Games.

I'll keep watching though, and hopefully inspiration will strike. I'm still leaning towards Were, and I hope at the latest to be able to have a character by this weekend, if that's not to late!

Well, I have a third character to use which I haven't thought of yet, I could offer him for your entertainment? I wouldn't want you to feel like you are being push into a corner, so you can count on me with anything you need! I could also take up playing one of the NPC's ^.^

Ray! We do need an alpha as well as a head of the seethe ^.^

I have him up, Hekate. Hereabouts. :-) Let me know if you desire any changes.

Edit: Copy/paste here as well.




Name: John Lambert

Age: 68 (Appears in his mid-20s)

Race: Werewolf (Alpha)

Careers: Runs a business called “Lambert Securities Inc.” His business provides services such as diplomatic security, law enforcement training, risk-management counseling, close quarter training and logistics. Whilst the firm deals with the government in general, it does provide services to the locals such armed escorts and bodyguards for the right price, which someone is always willing to pay in Vegas.

Powers:

Ability to call upon ‘berserker rage’ once a day, this allows John to become extremely powerful. Enough to either break through several slabs/walls of concrete, lift ten times the amount of his weight or gain a high enough speed to run across a body of water. This lasts between two to five minutes.

Personality:

Hot-headed, fiery and oft belligerent at proving his point, John is as bull headed as they come. He carries about an air of superiority to him wherever he goes and does not kindly take to no for an answer. He is surprisingly rational however and possesses a ‘business sense’ which had served him well in the past. This enables him to spot a good deal or a profitable transaction, whether it is monetary, diplomatic or purely human in nature. He weighs each option, uses mercy as a tool and is quick in dishing out punishment when needed. It is not a surprise however when his temper gets the best of his political self.

Appearance:

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Background History:

Part of the Green Beret entourage for diplomats John Lambert was amongst the very first Americans who set foot in Vietnam during the 60s. After that it was all about kicking ass and chewing gum and John did a bit of both. Having grown up in an orphanage he had exercised his dog-eat-dog rights to get as far in life as he could however nothing prepared him for what came afterwards, not even his training.

During a certain engagement John was taken hostage by a group of friendlies his company was supposed to be protecting, those South Vietnamese… or so John thought. Of course what followed was something he could never have been prepared for. This group of South Vietnamese was a pack of werewolves and John was to be a part of their hostage exchange with the North, a deal conducted without anybody else’s knowledge. As is the manner of things, this exchange went terrible. John was bit and left to die however he survived. Consumed by his bloodlust and this new power, John sought out this group of South Vietnamese – and after an initiation – was accepted as one of them. He was to retain his duties as a soldier whilst corresponding directly with this group… after all they were on the same side. In the next several years, most of his pack were either wiped out or ousted as power changed hands and John found himself a rogue once more.

He left soon after and even wondered if perhaps his wolf side would no longer exist within the US but of course, he was wrong. Quick to hunt down rogues within the states of Nevada, California and Arizona John established his own pack – and put those to death who refused to be a part of his community – so that he may continue the hierarchy he had come to love. He established Lambert Securities Inc. within Vegas in the mid-80s and ever since then, had exercised complete power in the vicinity except for subservience to the Marrok, when he is called upon to offer it.

Waits for Hekate to get a look at her girls~ I know I'll probably have to work out some details and such. I'd still love to work out some links and BG stuff with my fellow vampires and werewolfs.

Still have a shifter forming in my head...bah silly muse needs to shush. :P

Hekate is gone for the night, so she might reply tomorrow. I know she was looking over the other characters and your one was still a work in progress, so she was holding off on answering about your werewolf. :)

Laughs, boy do I know about how characters just keep trying to get you to listen to them though. That's why I write, to get these out of my head for awhile until others start to make their presence known...

I left it a WIP one because I was leaving it open for people to make links in the BG I left ideas and highlighted a few places where I did a generic he or she place holder. And because I never really got my questions or the things Caela brought up commented/answered. And depending on her answer I would have to edit the BG. Hence the WIP label still there, since I know I will probably have to edit.

Nods~ I have this snake shifter wanting to be writen, I should probably be posting. But my back is killing me again so it is hard to concentrate...that and my creation muse is on high. :P

Having a snake shifter would be interesting. We have a few flying shifters, and of course the wolves, so another type of ground dwelling animal sounds very interesting.

Yeah I went to the emergency room the other day, but they were so busy they just threw pills at me and sent me on my way. But it hurts so bad I can't straighten my left leg, and there are times when I can't even feel my legs(scary as hell). I'm trying to get in with a specialist but it's like pulling teeth I swear. Just took pain meds so I'm waiting for them to kick in and make me durpy enough to fall asleep hehe

BAH...don't encourage my muse....~looks for model picks~ need something slightly exotic...SEE your fault. :P at least it distracts me a bit though.

Oh, that sounds horrible. Having that much pain and knowing that it's making your legs go numb doesn't sound very good at all. Yea, trying to get apps from doctors, or others, is a real pain. At least the hospital gave you something. Usually when I used to go for kidney stones, they'd get me some aspirin and try to send me home. Uh, no, that doesn't work. Luckily I used to be able to contact my doctors and they'd explain that I needed to be taken up the floor so they could pull them out since my organs were to messed up with scars to pass the stones.

Laughs. I apologize, I won't poke your muse any further. Smirks.

But at least it doesn't hurt for a while. I don't have a regular doctor but I am trying to get in touch with vocational rehab and they help you get all the contacts and help you need.

hehe poke away Hun, I will actually be making her because she does seem to be coming to life. Just having trouble finding the right pic to really help her come to life. Her story is building in my mind though, I'm guessing it doesn't matter what type of snake she is?

Ah, well, it's nice for your dad to offer the help. Yea, I remember having a little to much morphine a time or two. Luckily ma was with me at the worst time, and she ran off to get a nurse when I started calling to my cat, blinking at my ma, and going, I think I don't feel good and I'm gonna pass out. LOL. Ah, yea, it'll be good if rehab can help, indeed.

Hmmm. No, I suppose it doesn't matter what kind of snake. Although, having a large snake wandering through the streets of Vegas might make some people afraid. Grins. Wolves can sometimes be thought of as large dogs. Snakes though is still a snake and large ones tend to make people worried.

hehe yeah I had liquid hydro-codon once and the only thing I could do when my mother got came up was look at her and go "cheesepoof"~insert giggle here~ Thankfully my step-mother is a nurse, so she can help with that sort of thing. And yeah hopefully they can help.

Yeah I wasn't thinking large snake, I was thinking something a bit exotic. I was going to have her powers be some sort of hypnotism. That hypnotic way I see her dancing brought that thought to mind. Not sure how I want to work that just yet.

Poisonous bite, when extending her hidden set of fangs Chiara and bite and inject her victim with a lethal dose of poison. (she is immune to snake venom of course.)


Career:
Professional dancer, Exotic dancer between booked gigs

Personality:
Chiara is charming, sexy, sophisticated, and in the end considers herself one of the worlds greatest con-artists. She is also has her exotic sex appeal, her fitness, her brilliant out-of-the-box thinking, ability to talk, lie or charm her way out of anything. But with the amount of charisma she has Chiara can make you not care at all. These traits prove to be crucial necessities in her life, and serve as an advantage in the many instances.

She embraces life, and tends to not let the bad hold her back. There is to much in life to look forward to or try to let the bad hold you back from it. Sometimes you fail, or fall short of expectations, and sometimes life kicks you when your down. But it is what you do then that defines who you are. After all a girl can have the time of her life if she just had the humph to make it happen. Underneath some may say she has a dangerous allure. Like she could take a bite of you but have you so sure that you liked it, you couldn't help but have her do it again.

Lily "L" Moraine Brackston WIP


Name:
Lily "L" Moraine Brackston

Age:
Looks to be 22 but is actually 30

Race:
Werewolf

Powers (If any):
Lily has the ability to heal or manipulate the body inwardly, she uses her gift to not only help in her job. But also to help her fellow werewolves not only heal faster, but to heal from wounds that would normally end up killing even them. Stitching together wounds, helping expel silver and so forth. Her ability to manipulate the body also allows her to simulate emotional responses. Affecting a targets adrenaline, serotonin, steroids and so forth. In a way creating the affect of an emotion, excitement, anger, sleepiness, happiness, confidence, and even arousal. ( though her own emotions can affect this ability, and she has at times been known to project her own physical responses and affect someone around her.)

Due to the affect of the silver in her she is actually for now physically weaker then others of her kind. But there is one thing that astound even the other werewolves. Her speed is uncanny even for them, she always jokes about it was a given. Of course she is the fastest, she is a emergency response professional she has to be the first on the scene.

Career:
EMT

Personality:

Lily isn't as soft and sweet as her name would lead you to believe. She has a strong will, a loyal heart, is stubborn as hell, though she is a submissive within the pack. She is one to never say she can't, even if there are moments that she has to push that much harder then the others to accomplish something. In her line of work you don't just give up, and she carries that mentality throughout her life. But her heart can be clearly seen when she deals with those that really needs her help. A bit daring and unafraid at times, she has been known to run into situation that should run from just to safe someone else. 'What do you mean you ran into the line of fire from a gang shot out?' And despite her protected place in the pack, she is a healer, a fighter, and protector in her own right.

Her emotions now heightened have been known to get the best of her. But over time she has started to learn to find her center. She is a person of passion, when she gives in and embraces it she can be your worst enemy or the best lover you've ever had. She is heat, passion, exploration, strength, intelligence, all in one untamed and amazingly curvy well-toned body.

Appearance :



Background History:
Lily has been a mystery since the day she was born, her own mother never telling her who her father was. Just that he had to leave for his own reasons. But her mother always made sure that Lily knew she was loved. And for the first seven years of Lily's life she was truly happy and vibrant. As wild and curious as any other some girl should be. Lily knew love and a home even if her mother moved them around a lot. And she never once got sick, which was surprising to say the least. But her mother simply said Lily had good genes. The truth of her parents and their origins was never told to her. Her mother thinking it best to keep that bit of information to herself till Lily was old enough to understand it all.

But her mother would never get the chance to do that. When she was 7 years old Lily and her mother were involved in a horrible car accident. Somehow Lily was tossed 30 feet from the car and left unscathed, while her mother burned alive in the car. Lily watched as she lost her mother, heard her screams as she burned alive. The help that came had no real chance to try and save her. They took Lily and she ended up being put into the Las Vegas foster system. Which was lacking in favorable situations to say the least. Lily grew up fighting and surviving, she was still seemingly lost and angry about losing her mother. It wasn't until she was sent to an elderly woman that took in trouble kids that she found herself not only meeting her match. But feeling as if she had found a home again. The woman had a way of keeping people in check, and took in all sorts of people. Mama Rose as she was called really was a healer and leader. She helped encourage Lily to actually work at getting her education. And to find what her true passions were, Mama Rose really was a driving force to help Lily become the woman she was in the present day.

When she was 18 and finished with high school Lily saw to becoming a fully certified EMT. She took to the rule like it was second nature, though she was always known as a high risk responder. Lily was never afraid to be the one to head into the line of fire or head into the neighborhoods that most avoided like the plague. In her few years of service she has been tackled, attacked, shot at, nearly hit by cars, faced countless weather conditions, hell she once fought through a mud slide to get to a trapped woman needing assistance. Her partners always joke about her being a dare devil...and never knowing her own limits. In truth Lily didn't want to be the one that got somewhere to late, that didn't fight hard enough for someone. And ended up leaving another kid without a family.

As time passed Lily grew into one hell of a responder, and into an amazingly confident and strong woman. Men came and went as she just never found someone that clicked. But she always had friends around her. Friends that were in the end her family. Little did she know that there was more to the world than anyone thought. She always suspected, always thought there could be more with all that she had seen over the years. But she had no idea her father was really a werewolf, her mother connected to a line of witches. If there had been any werewolves left in the city that had known about her when she was little. They would have no doubt found her and given her a home. But it wasn't till they returned and tried to track down possible stragglers and discovered rumors of her birth. It was then that they started to look deeper into Lily's life to see what kind of woman she had become. Even if she was human she was still a female from a strong bloodline. And the possibility that could be made into one of them was to alluring to resist.

It was then a few of them approached her originally just out to get to know her better and see if she had the potential they sought. But she ended up becoming friends with them. It seemed to even the supernatural world she was hard to resist. Months past and Lily became close with her new friends. They kept her in the dark when it came to the truth of it all. That is until something happened that made it impossible to hide it.

It was a call like any other, shots fired, officer down and the area seemed to still be a war zone. So of course Lily's unit was quickly on the scene and she hopped out the back before they had even stopped moving. Her first step was to grab the officer that had been shot and drag him to where she could treat him. But as she was getting him stable more shots were fired. It was then she noticed the one of her new 'friends' running from a shooter. Well of course Lily couldn't let this be, so she had her partner tend to the cop as she ran with her case to get to what she was sure was another victim. Lily had no idea what was really going on, how the different types of supernatural could be going after one another.

What Lily saw nearly made her freeze for the first time in her life. She swore that her friend was growing claws and fangs, but it had to be a trick of the eye. Adrenalin was high and she clearly needed a few days off. When the shadowed assailant was on the move again she reacted, pushing 'her friend' out of the way. It was then she was hit with bullets, bullets she would find out were silver. The world blurred and all she saw was two figures suddenly impacting with one another.

She laid there, blood pooling around her and her heart slowing down. Lily didn't think when she got up that morning that it would be her last. If she had the idea of calling in may have been more appealing. The world was going dark around her when she felt her body being lifted. She tried to speak but nothing but mumbling came from her lips. She heard voice around her, like they were debating something. And then she felt more pain as if something was tarring into her flesh once more. A short scream came from her and then the world went dark.

She didn't know it then but when Lily woke up in a hospital surrounded by the people she had become friends with. Looking at her as if they were waiting for something to happen. That they were in fact waiting to see if she would live, if she would become one of them. The doctors informed her that the bullets had splintered and were near her heart and imbedded in her spine. But she seemed to have an infection that wasn't responding to treatment. And without her fever going down and her body stronger they couldn't go back in to surgery. Lily felt trapped in her own dying body, unable to even feel her legs. But as the doctors left one the pack stepped forward. It was then they explained the truth to her, and the fact that she may still die. That she still had to survive shifting, and repelling the silver that was in her system. But first they needed to get her out of the hospital. It was stupid, and probably the worst thing she could do. But something in her told her to go with it, even if it ended up being the end of her. So against doctors’ orders Lily signed herself out and went with the people that could actually just be insane.

It was 6 days before the full moon, and she was still so weak it worried those around her. But still Lily fought on; she was stubborn and wouldn't give in till her last breath left her. And with great surprise her body listened. Still human for the most part her body was healing much faster than it should be. Each day a more of the poisonous silver was pushed from her system. And her ever cheeky attitude seemed to come back as the days past. But only after her first change would they know if she was really strong enough to be one of them.

As the night of the full moon came Lily meditated and tried to focus. Pushing the idea that she could end up dying that very night. She was still weak from some of the silver in her system. But at least she had her stubborn unwavering nature to back her up. As the time came the others sat with her, their own changes would come as well. At least no matter what happened Lily wouldn't be alone. As the time came pain ripped through her body. It was like her body was tarring apart trying to rearrange itself. She had never felt anything so intense, and utterly overwhelming. It wasn't till she felt someone else nudging her with a muzzle that she opened her eyes once more. She had not only lived through the changed, she had managed to almost heal completely. Her legs worked again...well all four of them in this form. And she felt stronger then she had even felt in her whole life.

From here Lily was taught about the ways and rules of being a werewolf. Found her place within the pack and within the new strange would that she now lived in. She also came into her new abilities, they were strange for a werewolf apparently and it did raise a few eyebrows. But in the end the pack accepted her for who she was. She did go back to work, and still found herself in interesting, dangerous, and unbelievable situations. Specially outside of work, with everything that had suddenly changed in her life. Lily had a whole new world in front of her, and even if it would take time to really find her place in it. Lily knew she wasn't alone while she did it.

Race:
Vampire

She works for the vampire community as a whole, not to mention her ability allows her to get access funds rather easily.

Technomancy the ability to interact and control electronics using what seems an almost physic like to them.  She has the ability to communicate and or manipulate machines. She doesn't need to touch a machine to interface with it, but doing so makes her power more powerful. Her abilities include things like, projecting her consciousness into a device, using a devises power supply to cause a surge to destroy it, scramble a device, making a device or some data inaccessible to anyone but her, controlling an electronic devise, or even sending her consciousness through lines of communication (satellites, phone lines, internet) to manipulation it remotely.


Personality:

Leiha...Aden...L...Aura, and countless other names through the years. Leiha may be of a younger generation, but what she lacks in power. She greatly makes up in intelligence. Born just before the start of the Industrial Revolution, and turned as it started to truly begin. She has always been one to watch the and study the world around her as it evolved. Her youthful and curious nature never seemed to fade even as the countless decades past her by.

She still takes in and learns everything she can. Her thirst for knowledge seemed nearly unquenchable. Though there is much more to Leiha than simply being a well-educated woman. She is vibrant, bold, uninhibited and even a bit wild.


-Appearance-


Height
5'8''
Weight
120
measurements
34c-24-35


Background History:

Leiha was born 1738 the world was a much different place. But it was starting to grow, expand and evolved into what would be what it is today. She was born in Europe on a chilly December evening.  Her family in service to a vampire, they saw to making sure the human workings and dealings went smoothly in everything the vampires did.  They earned the respect of their master after saving them from a church driven hunting. Her family helped fight in the ways they could. Even taking up swords themselves, despite the probably of their deaths. Their loyalty through the generations was clear. So when Leiha their already adored daughter grew ill and the doctors couldn't do anything to help her, they asked for a gift.

Her father went before their master and pleaded with him to save his beloved daughter. He agreed and told him to come to him by the week’s end with his daughter. But not two nights later the family home was attacked. It seemed the enemies of the vampire clan had set their eyes on her family. The night they came was the night her life changed completely. They came in the dead of night, no sound to warn them. Leiha woke from her sick bed to her family home burning around her. Screams and fighting still heard from all around her. Forcing her body to stand Leiha started to make her way out of her room. But she was cut off from any exits by a large man draped in layers of dark cloth. He knocked her already weak body into a wall and was about to strike her down. When he was suddenly stopped, barley continuous Leiha still isn't sure who had saved her. The last thing she remembers from that night was being lifted from the ground. And the image of her burning home falling away as darkness claimed her.

When she finally awoke Leiha had already been changed. Her fresh start given to her due to her families sacrifice. When she was told her whole family had parish and she was the sole survivor she barely kept herself together. Locking herself away in her room for weeks, refusing to feed as she wanted to die herself. It was only when one of the other vampires came in to speak with her. Told her she needed to stop running, and stop disrespecting her family’s lives by giving in so easily. It shook her from her stupor, and even with it still hurting she started to embrace the life newly given to her.

As years past she grew to enjoy the freedoms she had been given. And Leiha came to love the idea that she had all the time in the world to learn everything she wanted. And with the blessing of those above her she took to learning everything as it came along. Keeping up with the times as they changed, and becoming an irreplaceable asset to the vampire community as a whole. She became their eyes and hears in the modern would. Creating their identities, shuffling their assets, keeping tabs on threats, and countless other tasks she actually enjoyed and took upon herself. Eventually come to the states and then Las Vegas. Continuing her work with the other vampires that sought out her expertise.



Curvy!

Your Vampire: I can totally see her, such a kind of gift hasn't been mention, but I think you have work it quite well! Vampires can't always depend on humans, so having one of them take care of the responsibility to deal with anything that has to do with technology I think is pretty nifty!

I can even envisioned her finally being turned into a fledgling and not displaying any powers, most of the vampires would have thought her weak, but as time pass and the technology era took over, she developed her skills and powers! She has definitely my approval!

Your werewolf:

* I like her personality! She sounds feisty and protective of those she cares! Those traits do belong more to the dominant wolves, what I advise you is this...Packs tend to be full of dominant wolves, submissives tend to be the last of the wolf hierarchy, but they are treasure as the heart of the pack. Your wolf could be a dominant, but since she is a female she would be down with the submissives (Females get their status from the wolves they mate). Making her dominant, but a dominant that already knows her position in the pack would not only allow you to play her personality, but also make her a more submissive toward the other high-ranking wolves.

*As for the rest of the bio, seeing that we do know her  parents secret, she could definitely play out the silver talent she has. Most of the people who carried such a talent are of fae descent, maybe one of her parents was of fae descent? Either way, her talent would make her an asset, but she would have to keep it quiet- I can see the Marrok welcoming her into the fold, but if she were to be of fae descent the Gray Lords would either do whatever they can to have her on their side or try to kill her (Dangerous folk they are), but I see no problem with that.

*Also, I can offer you the wolf I am creating as her maker, he is one of the werewolves who stayed behind and maybe he friend her? EMT's tend to always work with police and mine is a police man, so maybe they formed a pack bond while still waiting for the new pack to arrive?

Just laying down some ideas! As you also know, I can offer you and anyone any help on working with NPC's

I have him up, Hekate. Hereabouts. :-) Let me know if you desire any changes.

Edit: Copy/paste here as well.




Name: John Lambert

Age: 68 (Appears in his mid-20s)

Race: Werewolf (Alpha)

Careers: Runs a business called “Lambert Securities Inc.” His business provides services such as diplomatic security, law enforcement training, risk-management counseling, close quarter training and logistics. Whilst the firm deals with the government in general, it does provide services to the locals such armed escorts and bodyguards for the right price, which someone is always willing to pay in Vegas.

Powers:

Ability to call upon ‘berserker rage’ once a day, this allows John to become extremely powerful. Enough to either break through several slabs/walls of concrete, lift ten times the amount of his weight or gain a high enough speed to run across a body of water. This lasts between two to five minutes.

Personality:

Hot-headed, fiery and oft belligerent at proving his point, John is as bull headed as they come. He carries about an air of superiority to him wherever he goes and does not kindly take to no for an answer. He is surprisingly rational however and possesses a ‘business sense’ which had served him well in the past. This enables him to spot a good deal or a profitable transaction, whether it is monetary, diplomatic or purely human in nature. He weighs each option, uses mercy as a tool and is quick in dishing out punishment when needed. It is not a surprise however when his temper gets the best of his political self.

Appearance:

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Background History:

Part of the Green Beret entourage for diplomats John Lambert was amongst the very first Americans who set foot in Vietnam during the 60s. After that it was all about kicking ass and chewing gum and John did a bit of both. Having grown up in an orphanage he had exercised his dog-eat-dog rights to get as far in life as he could however nothing prepared him for what came afterwards, not even his training.

During a certain engagement John was taken hostage by a group of friendlies his company was supposed to be protecting, those South Vietnamese… or so John thought. Of course what followed was something he could never have been prepared for. This group of South Vietnamese was a pack of werewolves and John was to be a part of their hostage exchange with the North, a deal conducted without anybody else’s knowledge. As is the manner of things, this exchange went terrible. John was bit and left to die however he survived. Consumed by his bloodlust and this new power, John sought out this group of South Vietnamese – and after an initiation – was accepted as one of them. He was to retain his duties as a soldier whilst corresponding directly with this group… after all they were on the same side. In the next several years, most of his pack were either wiped out or ousted as power changed hands and John found himself a rogue once more.

He left soon after and even wondered if perhaps his wolf side would no longer exist within the US but of course, he was wrong. Quick to hunt down rogues within the states of Nevada, California and Arizona John established his own pack – and put those to death who refused to be a part of his community – so that he may continue the hierarchy he had come to love. He established Lambert Securities Inc. within Vegas in the mid-80s and ever since then, had exercised complete power in the vicinity except for subservience to the Marrok, when he is called upon to offer it.

*Approved*

Alpha welcome to aboard!

Hekate, since this Pack is fairly new to Vegas, how long will they have been together? Trying to determine how long Stephanie will have had to get to know people or if she's only been there a short time and trying to decide if she even likes them! Lol

Also, have they been there long enough for John to have actually fought his way up to Alpha, or did the Marrok assign him as temporarily in charge until the new pack sorts it's ranking out? That sort of feeds into, "how long have they been ther?" Lol

What do you think about it being a month since they got established? They are supposed to be new, without counting the wolves that haven't joined it, so a month could give us leeway to have them already established and a bit acquainted with the area.

A month is cool. You answered too fast though! I added another question not expecting that quick a response! :D

Though I think a month would be enough to sort out, at least initially, ranking issues. Stephanie is going to be a busy girl!

Making her dominant, but a dominant that already knows her position in the pack would not only allow you to play her personality, but also make her a more submissive toward the other high-ranking wolves.

That works for me as her place within the pack, means she has a bit of respect for her strengths. But isn't a threat to those above her so she wouldn't be a huge issue.

I can easily make her mother Fae, I will edit that in just a moment. It could make things very interesting in the end, specially since she herself doesn't know about it.

Eeeep got to see this now, C <3

Hm, in these situations I think the Marrok might assign him, hence it could fit in him looking for lone wolves etc. That also means that during the process of the month his pack along would be settled *Muses*

A month would be enough time for him to establish that he's not just the Marrok's lackey (and kick all the Dominant's asses so they'd recognize him as Alpha) but would still be a short enough time for things to be unsettled while all the other ranks shuffle out. Could make for some interesting plot twists and will mean Stephanie will be a busy girl cooling off tempers that aren't linked to direct fights for dominance lol. Still working through the forging of a cohesive Pack could be a LOT of fun!

CurvyKitten

My girls, the vampire is approved! My werewolf has the changes made that Hekate mentioned so she is done. But I am still looking for BG links and ideas on how she interacts with the pack. So please feel free to poke me about that. Working to finish my snake now. If anyone works to make a tie with my vampire or walker please feel free to poke about that as well.

Lily knew love and a home even if her mother moved them around a lot. And she never once got sick, which was surprising to say the least. But her mother simply said Lily had good jeans. The truth of her parents and their origins was never told to her. Her mother thinking it best to keep that bit of information to herself till Lily was old enough to understand it all.

But her mother would never get the chance to do that. When she was 7 years old Lily and her mother were involved in horrible car accident. Somehow Lily was tossed 30 feet from the car and left unscathed, while her mother burned alive in the car. Lily watched as she lost her mother, heard her screams as she burned alive. The help that came had no real chance to try and save her. They took Lily and she ended up being put into the Las Vegas foster system. Which was lacking in favorable situations to say the least. Lily grew up fighting and surviving, she was still seemingly lost and angry about losing her mother. It wasn't until she was sent to an elderly woman that took in trouble kids that she found herself not only meeting her match. But feeling as if she had found a home again. The woman had a way of keeping people in check, and took in all sorts of people. Mama Rose as she was called really was a healer and leader. She helped encourage Lily to actually work at getting her education. And to find what her true passions were, Mama Rose really was a driving force to help Lily become the woman she was in the present day.

When she was 18 and finished with high school Lily saw to becoming a fully certified EMT. She took to the rule like it was second nature, though she was always known as a high risk responder. Lily was never afraid to be the one to head into the line of fire or head into the neighborhoods that most avoided like the plague. In her few years of service she has been tackled, attacked, shot at, nearly hit by cars, faced countless weather conditions, hell she once fought through a mud slide to get to a trapped woman needing assistance. Her partners always joke about her being a dare devil...and never knowing her own limits. In truth Lily didn't want to be the one that got somewhere to late, that didn't fight hard enough for someone. And ended up leaving another kid without a family.

As time passed Lily grew into one hell of a responder, and into an amazingly confident and strong woman. Men came and went as she just never found someone that clicked. But she always had friends around her. Friends that were in the end her family. Little did she know that there was more to the world than anyone thought. She always suspected, always thought there could be more with all that she had seen over the years. But she had no idea her father was really a werewolf, her mother connected to a line of fae. If there had been any werewolves left in the city that had known about her when she was little. They would have no doubt found her and given her a home. But it wasn't till they returned and tried to track down possible stragglers and discovered rumors of her birth. It was then that they started to look deeper into Lily's life to see what kind of woman she had become. Even if she was human she was still a female from a strong bloodline. And the possibility that could be made into one of them was to alluring to resist.

It was then a few of them approached her originally just out to get to know her better and see if she had the potential they sought. But she ended up becoming friends with them. It seemed to even the supernatural world she was hard to resist. Months past and Lily became close with her new friends. They kept her in the dark when it came to the truth of it all. That is until something happened that made it impossible to hide it.

It was a call like any other, shots fired, officer down and the area seemed to still be a war zone. So of course Lily's unit was quickly on the scene and she hopped out the back before they had even stopped moving. Her first step was to grab the officer that had been shot and drag him to where she could treat him. But as she was getting him stable more shots were fired. It was then she noticed the one of her new 'friends' running from a shooter. Well of course Lily couldn't let this be, so she had her partner tend to the cop as she ran with her case to get to what she was sure was another victim. Lily had no idea what was really going on, how the different types of supernatural could be going after one another.

What Lily saw nearly made her freeze for the first time in her life. She swore that her friend was growing claws and fangs, but it had to be a trick of the eye. Adrenalin was high and she clearly needed a few days off. When the shadowed assailant was on the move again she reacted, pushing 'her friend' out of the way. It was then she was hit with bullets, bullets she would find out were silver. The world blurred and all she saw was two figures suddenly impacting with one another.

She laid there, blood pooling around her and her heart slowing down. Lily didn't think when she got up that morning that it would be her last. If she had the idea of calling in may have been more appealing. The world was going dark around her when she felt her body being lifted. She tried to speak but nothing but mumbling came from her lips. She heard voice around her, like they were debating something. And then she felt more pain as if something was tarring into her flesh once more. A short scream came from her and then the world went dark.

She didn't know it then but when Lily woke up in a hospital surrounded by the people she had become friends with. Looking at her as if they were waiting for something to happen. That they were in fact waiting to see if she would live, if she would become one of them. The doctors informed her that the bullets had splintered and were near her heart and imbedded in her spine. But she seemed to have an infection that wasn't responding to treatment. And without her fever going down and her body stronger they couldn't go back in to surgery. Lily felt trapped in her own dying body, unable to even feel her legs. But as the doctors left one the pack stepped forward. It was then they explained the truth to her, and the fact that she may still die. That she still had to survive shifting, and repelling the silver that was in her system. But first they needed to get her out of the hospital. It was stupid, and probably the worst thing she could do. But something in her told her to go with it, even if it ended up being the end of her. So against doctors’ orders Lily signed herself out and went with the people that could actually just be insane.

It was 6 days before the full moon, and she was still so weak it worried those around her. But still Lily fought on; she was stubborn and wouldn't give in till her last breath left her. And with great surprise her body listened. Still human for the most part her body was healing much faster than it should be. Each day a more of the poisonous silver was pushed from her system. And her ever cheeky attitude seemed to come back as the days past. But only after her first change would they know if she was really strong enough to be one of them.

As the night of the fool moon came Lily meditated and tried to focus. Pushing the idea that she could end up dying that very night. She was still weak from some of the silver in her system. But at least she had her stubborn unwavering nature to back her up. As the time came the others sat with her, their own changes would come as well. At least no matter what happened Lily wouldn't be alone. As the time came pain ripped through her body. It was like her body was tarring apart trying to rearrange itself. She had never felt anything so intense, and utterly overwhelming. It wasn't till she felt someone else nudging her with a muzzle that she opened her eyes once more. She had not only lived through the changed, she had managed to almost heal completely. Her legs worked again...well all four of them in this form. And she felt stronger then she had even felt in her whole life.

From here Lily was taught about the ways and rules of being a werewolf. Found her place within the pack and within the new strange would that she now lived in. She also came into her new abilities, they were strange for a werewolf apparently and it did raise a few eyebrows. But in the end the pack accepted her for who she was. She did go back to work, and still found herself in interesting, dangerous, and unbelievable situations. Specially outside of work, with everything that had suddenly changed in her life. Lily had a whole new world in front of her, and even if it would take time to really find her place in it. Lily knew she wasn't alone while she did it.

Background History:
Chiara was born to a woman that had worked her way around the world twice over. Her mother was a woman that saw what she wanted and always went for it. And always got it in the end. But she was also a woman that couldn't except what she had and just be happy. So any relationship that came along never lasted long. Chiara has no idea which one of her mothers many lovers is her father. And her mother isn't around to ask anymore. Not because she is dead, but because her mother left Chiara at the age of 13 in Las Vegas. It had crapped her style to have a child around, and her mothers newest lover didn't like having her around. So of course her mother chose money and a lavish lifestyle over her own flesh and blood. But it wasn't something new to Chiara.

Her mother would leave her in some hotel room with cash and disappear for days or weeks on end. But doing that allowed Chiara to learn how to survive on her own. And how to use her power to get what ever she needed to live. Despite being along in life Chiara never went hungry, cold, or had to sleep on the street like some common street rat. No she used her age and abilities to con her way to what ever she needed. So in a way Chiara had become just like her mother and she hadn't even turn 18 yet.

When her mother left Chiara simply did what was needed. Using her ability to set up a small apartment for herself, a few cons going to make her cash, and even made a point to go to school. Because unlike her mother Chiara didn't want to depend on what ever man was around to pay her way. She wanted to make her own way, to be her own woman.

Years passed and Chiara grew into a exotic and amazingly confident young woman. Now 21 she is a professional dancer by choice, but between working gigs she dances as a private exotic dance to high class clients. Her life well payed for after years of working her skills. And only takes work because she enjoys it. And only takes on lovers when she wants or needs the release that only the touch of a man or woman can bring. In her eyes, despite not having a constant person in her life...she is in fact living the good life. And she doesn't see it changing any time soon.

A month would be enough time for him to establish that he's not just the Marrok's lackey (and kick all the Dominant's asses so they'd recognize him as Alpha) but would still be a short enough time for things to be unsettled while all the other ranks shuffle out. Could make for some interesting plot twists and will mean Stephanie will be a busy girl cooling off tempers that aren't linked to direct fights for dominance lol. Still working through the forging of a cohesive Pack could be a LOT of fun!

Mwuahahahaha YES YES YES

Quote from: CurvyKitten on April 12, 2013, 01:12:07 PM
My girls, the vampire is approved! My werewolf has the changes made that Hekate mentioned so she is done. But I am still looking for BG links and ideas on how she interacts with the pack. So please feel free to poke me about that. Working to finish my snake now. If anyone works to make a tie with my vampire or walker please feel free to poke about that as well.

EDIT: Finshed Chiara as well.


Lily "L" Moraine Brackston


Name:
Lily "L" Moraine Brackston

Age:
Looks to be 22 but is actually 30

Race:
Werewolf

Powers (If any):
Lily has the ability to heal or manipulate the body inwardly, she uses her gift to not only help in her job. But also to help her fellow werewolves not only heal faster, but to heal from wounds that would normally end up killing even them. Stitching together wounds, helping expel silver and so forth. Her ability to manipulate the body also allows her to simulate emotional responses. Affecting a targets adrenaline, serotonin, steroids and so forth. In a way creating the affect of an emotion, excitement, anger, sleepiness, happiness, confidence, and even arousal. ( though her own emotions can affect this ability, and she has at times been known to project her own physical responses and affect someone around her.)

Due to the affect of the silver in her she is actually for now physically weaker then others of her kind. But there is one thing that astound even the other werewolves. Her speed is uncanny even for them, she always jokes about it was a given. Of course she is the fastest, she is a emergency response professional she has to be the first on the scene.

Career:
EMT

Personality:

Lily isn't as soft and sweet as her name would lead you to believe. She has a strong will, a loyal heart, is stubborn as hell, though she is a submissive within the pack. She is one to never say she can't, even if there are moments that she has to push that much harder then the others to accomplish something. In her line of work you don't just give up, and she carries that mentality throughout her life. But her heart can be clearly seen when she deals with those that really needs her help. A bit daring and unafraid at times, she has been known to run into situation that should run from just to safe someone else. 'What do you mean you ran into the line of fire from a gang shot out?' And despite her protected place in the pack, she is a healer, a fighter, and protector in her own right.

Her emotions now heightened have been known to get the best of her. But over time she has started to learn to find her center. She is a person of passion, when she gives in and embraces it she can be your worst enemy or the best lover you've ever had. She is heat, passion, exploration, strength, intelligence, all in one untamed and amazingly curvy well-toned body.

Background History:
Lily has been a mystery since the day she was born, her own mother never telling her who her father was. Just that he had to leave for his own reasons.

And she felt stronger then she had even felt in her whole life.

From here Lily was taught about the ways and rules of being a werewolf. Found her place within the pack and within the new strange would that she now lived in. She also came into her new abilities, they were strange for a werewolf apparently and it did raise a few eyebrows. But in the end the pack accepted her for who she was. She did go back to work, and still found herself in interesting, dangerous, and unbelievable situations. Specially outside of work, with everything that had suddenly changed in her life. Lily had a whole new world in front of her, and even if it would take time to really find her place in it. Lily knew she wasn't alone while she did it.

She is also has her exotic sex appeal, her fitness, her brilliant out-of-the-box thinking, ability to talk, lie or charm her way out of anything. But with the amount of charisma she has Chiara can make you not care at all. These traits prove to be crucial necessities in her life, and serve as an advantage in the many instances.

She embraces life, and tends to not let the bad hold her back. There is to much in life to look forward to or try to let the bad hold you back from it. Sometimes you fail, or fall short of expectations, and sometimes life kicks you when your down. But it is what you do then that defines who you are. After all a girl can have the time of her life if she just had the humph to make it happen. Underneath some may say she has a dangerous allure. Like she could take a bite of you but have you so sure that you liked it, you couldn't help but have her do it again.

Background History:
Chiara was born to a woman that had worked her way around the world twice over. Her mother was a woman that saw what she wanted and always went for it. And always got it in the end. But she was also a woman that couldn't except what she had and just be happy. So any relationship that came along never lasted long. Chiara has no idea which one of her mothers many lovers is her father. And her mother isn't around to ask anymore. Not because she is dead, but because her mother left Chiara at the age of 13 in Las Vegas. It had crapped her style to have a child around, and her mothers newest lover didn't like having her around. So of course her mother chose money and a lavish lifestyle over her own flesh and blood. But it wasn't something new to Chiara.

Her mother would leave her in some hotel room with cash and disappear for days or weeks on end. But doing that allowed Chiara to learn how to survive on her own. And how to use her power to get what ever she needed to live. Despite being along in life Chiara never went hungry, cold, or had to sleep on the street like some common street rat. No she used her age and abilities to con her way to what ever she needed. So in a way Chiara had become just like her mother and she hadn't even turn 18 yet.

When her mother left Chiara simply did what was needed. Using her ability to set up a small apartment for herself, a few cons going to make her cash, and even made a point to go to school. Because unlike her mother Chiara didn't want to depend on what ever man was around to pay her way. She wanted to make her own way, to be her own woman.

Years passed and Chiara grew into a exotic and amazingly confident young woman. Now 21 she is a professional dancer by choice, but between working gigs she dances as a private exotic dance to high class clients. Her life well payed for after years of working her skills. And only takes work because she enjoys it. And only takes on lovers when she wants or needs the release that only the touch of a man or woman can bring. In her eyes, despite not having a constant person in her life...she is in fact living the good life. And she doesn't see it changing any time soon.

Curvy! Approved! <3

To be honest, I could see Talauh and Chiara maybe working together to cause trouble and or rob people, especially if they've met up before in other Casinos. But that was my thinking. :) They seem like a good pair... one to distract people and one to fleece people. They could even switch roles from time to time, letting Chiara con people and Talauh find the marks....

Name: Captain Douglas Andrew Davidson aka. Doug or Captain

Age: 30's

Race: Human

Powers (If any): None – except for what he can get from technology. One thing he does have though is a stockpile of the werewolf drug/cocktail that has recently been developed again.

Career: He's come out of a retirement when Uncle Sam asked him to put together a team that would start to defend American interests within American soil once the assassination took place due to the trial that the Fae lost. Then the fall out from that had the government worried, so now he's been busy with putting together what he thinks he needs to operate and keep the non-humans from getting to powerful. As Captain of the six that makes up his team, he's the one in charge.
   
His team, at this point, is made up of Army personal only and they are Private Henry Fretters – weapons expert, Private John Smithson – medic, Private Keith “Ape Shit” Williams - grunt, Private Alan Harris - grunt, Private Marty Perez - grunt, and the only female member, Sargent Katie Jacobs – chemist, hacker, second in command.

They've set up along the Strip in a building that they've remodeled. The front half looks like an office building but the rest of the place is where they operate except for Douglas since he's set up in the front of the building and his office has been turned into a place where he can meet clients since he's posing as a local P. I.

Personality:  He used to be easy going, for someone in the Army, until his wife died of cancer about a year ago after they've been together for ten years. He's never had any children. Once Catherine was gone, he became melancholy and he figured that maybe he'd eat his gun. Now, he has something to live for and he's thrown himself into the family he has adopted, looking out for those on the hand picked team that he selected since they look up to him. 

Appearance : 5Feet 10inches. (See pic)

Background History: Most of his tours of duty took place over seas in Iraq and Afghanistan until he was called back home when Catherine's cancer progressed so far and so fast. He figured once she was gone it was time to retire and he did so. He still keeps in touch with his mother-in-law but his own parents have also died. As a only child, he has no siblings but he's always been close to Mark, his younger cousin that is a year younger.

This looks like a lot of fun. I'm interested if there's still room. :-)

Though I see the OP hasn't been on in a while...
This doesn't have to end in a fight, Buck.
It always ends in a fight.
You pulled me from the river. Why?
I don't know.
