    Blood Oath
    A Modern Day Lost Girl Alternate Universe Urban Fantasy Game

    New York City, 2014. In the light of day, everything seems to be normal.  You get up, go to work, do your job and go home, never once dreaming that the guy sitting next to you on the subway or the secretary at the office is anything other than human. But there’s another world that exists side by side with our own. An older world, one full of Fae - supernatural creatures that are as old as time and they don’t see humans as equals. They see them as food.

    Separated long ago into two factions by the Blood Laws, the Light and the Dark are under a peace that is tenuous at best. The threat of war is always looming on the horizon. Rumors are circulating that old resentments and enmities are rising and restlessness and fear grips both sides of the Fae world. Old alliances are being broken; new ones are being forged in unexpected places.  No one knows what’s lurking on the horizon, but one thing is certain: there’s something coming. Will you be ready?





    Game Information

    Q: Who is the GM
    A: Cerigo

    Q: What forum section will the game take place in?
    A: Extreme
    Note: This is to allow for maximum flexibility for the players in terms of plot and action. However, no player will ever be EXPECTED or REQUIRED to participate in a scene or plot arc they are not comfortable with. We require that all posts be tagged for content and any posts containing NonCon or Extreme content MUST be hidden behind a spoiler.

    Q: Who can participate in the game?
    A: Any and All characters or players. No one will be turned away based on gender or sexuality or otherwise. All we ask is that you be respectful to other players and the GMs OOC.

    Q: What is the general format of the game?
    A: This is a sandbox game set in the universe established in the Lost Girl TV series. Although from time to time there will be GM-introduced plots, the game will focus primarily on the interaction between PCs. It will be centered on the politics between the Light and the Dark fae and character relationships, with all that entails. 

    Q: What is the genre/setting?
    A: Blood Oath is an Urban Fantasy set in and around New York City.

    Q: What kinds of characters may players create?
    A: Characters can be almost anything your imagination can dream up. Human characters can be any sort of person, either claimed by a fae or unclaimed. A fae can be a creature from myth and lore from various cultures the world over. The only limit is that high ranking members of fae society (The Ash, The Morrigan, Elders, etc) must be discussed with the GMs before applying for them.

    Q:What are the character creation guidelines and how many characters may a player have?
    A: Players may have two characters to start. There are several established fae character types in the show and just as general starting point; we recommend that potential players have a look at the Lost Girl wiki herefor reference. For character types that have not appeared in the show, we encourage players to do research in order to fill out their character sheets and to provide insight into how their powers will work in the Lost Girl universe. The GMs are more than happy to help with this part of the process. Please don’t hesitate to ask. As a general note, unless human characters are claimed by a fae, it’s unlikely they would know anything about the fae world.  We will also not accept characters with automatic death abilities or the ability to control another character without limitations (i.e.Vex-level Mesmer powers).

    Q: What about canon characters?
    A: Canon characters are not playable and/or do not exist in this world. There is no unaligned succubus named Bo.

    Q: What about character connections?
    A: Character connections are not only totally okay, they're encouraged! Ideally we would like to see players work out connections and relationships amongst themselves. 

    Q: Will you be using a face claim list?
    A: Yes. Players must post a face claim before they submit their sheet, and should take a look at the face claims thread to be sure they are not claiming one that is already listed. After one week if there hasn’t been any word on whether or not the sheet is still being worked on/submitted, the claim will be up for grabs again. Note: The sheet does not have to be done, but the GMs need to know that it’s in the works.

    Q: How NPC's will be handled?
    A: Key NPCs will be under GM control and marked as such in any posts they are a part of. Players are free to make up background NPCs to use as they like as long as they don’t get out of hand. General NPCs will be free for all to use.

    Q: Do we need any extra/outside information to play?
    A: I recommended that players watch at least a few episodes from the first season of Lost Girl to get a handle on how fae society works, however it’s not required if the player is willing to do enough research on their own via wikis and googling. But really, all you need is an active imagination.

    Q: What  is the pace of the game?
    A: Game pacing will be fluid. Time will be set up in week-long intervals and scenes will be open to happen any time within that time frame. Players are responsible for keeping track of their scenes in order to make sure their characters aren’t in two places at once. From time to time, special events or major IC plots may be run as individual days or a sequence of days.

    Q: How often do you want people to post?
    A: Preferably we would like to see people posting at least once a week, though of course more posts are always welcome! Real life comes first and if something comes up, just let us know.

    With regards to group scenes: do keep in mind that group scenes can be fast paced and if you get involved in a scene with multiple characters please keep the availability of all the players in mind. If you can only post once a week but everyone else can post several times a day, you’ll need to work something out with the other players.

    Q:What type of sexual content do you expect/hope to see in the game?
    A: Sexual content is open and any content allowed within E rules is permitted. However, it is stressed that players appropriately tag and spoiler any post with sexual content in their post. If a Non-Con scene is to happen, both parties must be in agreement to what is happening and all limits OOC must be respected. Any breaking of these rules will result in one warning before the player will be removed from the game. 

    Q: To what extent will players be allowed to create/use environment or setting details?  
    A: As much as they deem necessary without metagaming.

    Q: How do I contact/approach the GM with questions?
    A: You can post here, in the game’s main OOC thread, or contact the GM by PM.

    Q: How will IC decisions be resolved? 
    A: Minor plot arcs between characters should be handled between players whenever possible. However, if a plot arc has the potential to affect a lot of characters and/or the city/game as a whole it should be brought to the GMs for approval/awareness before it begins. Most of the time we won’t say no, but we do need to be aware of things that might have a wide reaching effect.

    If at any point a decision cannot be resolved between the players, please bring the issue to the GM and he will do what he can to assist in resolving the matter.


    Rules

    • Be respectful and considerate.
    • Leave OOC out of IC, and remember IC does not equal a player's OOC.
    • GM word is law. If you have issues with decisions made, voice them in PM.
    • Deal with conflict via PM's. Deal with conflict, don't let things bug you until you explode. Let the GM(s) in on what's happening if dealing with it doesn't seem to be working out. It’s perfectly fine to include the GM from the start too.
    • All posts must use the provided game tag and must be tagged for content.
    • All non-con or extreme content must be put behind a spolier in the post
    • Power game at your own risk. Just remember that no matter how big and bad your character is, there is always someone bigger willing to put the boot to them.
    • For the sake of readability, we ask that posts be made entirely in black font. Please do not use another color for dialogue.
    • The above rules are subject to change at the GM's discretion.

    Character Creation Guidelines

    Character Creation Rules:

    • Nearly any species in the show is available for play, save for any species with auto-kill abilities (such as Death Worms)
    • Species with the ability to control others (such as Mesmers) are heavily limited and will be tweaked to tone down their powers.
    • Succubi and Incubi are very rare and as such, their number will be heavily limited, allowing for only two.
    • Unaligned characters are available (limited to 2) but should be aware of the risks associated with being unaligned. No one is going to have Bo's power level and unaligned characters will be handled realistically. They will have no protection from either side and thus will also be considered "fair game" as much as a human might.
    • Unclaimed humans are available for play but most often will not have any knowledge of the Fae's existence.
    • Claimed humans are available though I will require extra information on their owner.
    • Species not seen in the show are available for play, but must be properly researched regarding strengths/powers/weaknesses and must be approved by the GM
    • Half-breed fae are allowed but will be closely scrutinized and limited in power.
    • Human/Fae mating produces non-fae children.
    • No characters over the age of one thousand will be accepted at this time. We have plenty already.
    • Once your sheet is complete, PM it to Cerigo.
    Sucubi/Incubi Available: 1/2
    Unaligned Available: 0/2 - No more unaligned characters will be accepted at this time.

    I did plan to make either a succubus or Bacchus character.  However, I noticed the first post said we were full on Succubi.  :-(

    Cerigo

    Nonsense!

    We currently have no succubi, a fact that should make everyone sad. I know it personally makes me sad.

    There is a limit of two of them with our current population just to make sure they are continue to be rare.

    So act now and reserve the right to be the center of sexual desire! Supplies are limited and operators are standing by.

    How Do They View Humans?: Friends, Equals

    ~Appearance~
    Hair: Black
    Eyes: Black (Orange when activating powers)
    Height: 5’4”
    Physical Description: Short but fit Kira is a girl that is often overlooked. She has discipline in Kendo and sword fighting which means her muscles are not shown but she can very well defend herself with a sword.
    Distinguishing Features: Her eyes glow bright orange when activating powers
    Character Model: Ardent Cho

    ~Indepth~

    What Do They Feed Off Of?: Time (it shortens the time they life when she feeds from them)

    Power(s): Be detailed and specific]]
    1- Future Dreams = When she dreams she can catch a glimpse into the future of a certain individual. The visions are often given in random and with no sense. It’s up to her to make sense of it all.
    2- Electricity Control= Being a thunder kitsune she has control over lightning. She can form small electricity from her hand to jumpstart a heart or even short circuit a generator. The bigger the task the more energy she will consume. She tries to not use her powers unless it is absolutely necessary. (The power or length depends on herself. However if she exterts herself (more than three minutes of constant lightning) she can faint and will not go back unless someone offers her lifespan to her)

    3- Fox Trickery= Kitsunes are well known for being tricksters and masters at desception. She can easily lie and seduce people to get what she wants. (She is one of the best liars around and you would never know if she is lying or not. She is always tricking people so it's often difficult to know when she is telling the truth or not. (think of it as being sort of a Loki character without the evil))
    4- ShapeShifting- She turns into a full fledged white fox, she is only capable of having one tail out. She is able to channel the lightning through her tail and up to 10 feet around her she can shoot lightning.

    Strengths: Be detailed
    1- Speed- She has amazing speed with her sword, when she fights with her katana it is almost like if both entities are one.

    2- Martial Arts Training- She knows how to defend herself both with a sword and without one in close combat.

    3- Keen Senses- Hearing, Smell and touch are greatly improved to the point of being able to hear someone from the other room and be able to know what they are talking about.

    Weaknesses: Must have as many weaknesses as strengths or a minimum of 2. Weaknesses can include personal short comings but should also include weaknesses particular to your characters species (IE Vampires being allergic to sunlight)
    1- Wolfsbane- Plant that can be found, it can easily paralyze her and make her useless. If injected it can kill her.
    2- Range combat- She is very good close combat however in range she is vunerable.
    3- Her tail while on her shift form is a very solid weakness, cutting the tail or just hurting it will damage the kitsune by quite a lot.

    Personality:

    Loyal- When she manages to trust a person she remains loyal to that person. Her own life could be in danger and she still goes life and limb for that person and never wants that person to think wrong of her.

    Observant- She is always looking at everything around her, she is always on the lookout and always ready to pounce in case she is in danger. She is also very observant and focuses on small things that people might overlook, she often uses her keen knowledge of the fox to know what to look at.

    Sensual- She is not afraid of using lies or even her body to get what she wants. However she loves doing the correct thing for herself even though it may not mean for everybody else. Although she respects humans she is not advert of seducing one and drinking their time to be able to heal or survive.

    Competitive- Kira loves a new challenge, for her a new challenge is a way to prove herself to others. She is always willing to go in any stage and prove herself.

    Dirty- She is not against cheating to get what she wants if she thinks it will benefit her friends and most of all herself.

    Posessive- When she thinks that she has a friend or even a loved one she becomes very possessive of them. She is always looking at them and watching out for them from the distance.


    History:
    Kira was born in Japan, ever since she was little she knew that she was somehow different from the rest of her classmates. Starting early she could hear stuff that were impossible for her to hear and see too perfectly. Her parents didn’t told her anything about the real world (fae world) because they feared what might happen if she knew. Knowing a secret like that, a secret that she wasn't human but an entity of folklore like her parents (Thunder Kitsune (mother) Fire Kitsune (father)). Growing up things became much more complicated for Kira, bullies often targeted her and even though by that time she was taking self defense lessons she didn’t wanted to hurt them. Her parents always told her that fighting was never used except in circumstances where other people were in danger.  Finally one day they went too far and they did something that caused a permanent scar and the awakening of her powers at the age of 12.

    They locked her inside a trunk and knowing her fear of snakes threw three pythons inside with her before locking her inside and taking the keys. She screamed and screamed her heart out but nobody could hear her due to the fact that she was far away on the campus and it was the middle of the day. When she thought that she was going to go crazy she finally screamed and electricity began flowing out from her body and into the snakes that were touching her legs. The snakes were fried in an instant however she was fine, in fact she was perfect. Five hours later they discovered her in a near catatonic state and released her taking her to the hospital.

    While on the hospital she fried every machine by unwillingly sending waves of electricity through the cables connected to her body. It all got discovered by her parents when they saw her eyes glowing orange, her inner kitsune was awakened. Since then her parents told her everything about her new life, how she needed to feed on humans by hugging them from behind and absorbing their ‘time’ or remaining life. Once high school was done she decided to move on her own to the states, to a small apartment in NYC paid by her parents.

    Being wealthy business owners her parents got her just what she needed and dropped her to find out what to do by herself, now that she was a full kitsune she needed to learn the hard ways of life by herself their job was done. Two weeks after arriving she was made to meet with the leaders of both factions and take the trials to determine her side.

    The test was easy as she just killed them both without much effort using the Katana her father gave her. However when she was asked to join a side she didn’t picked any side. Her reason was simple, since discovering of her powers she knew that her parents did something forbidden, a light married a dark (of course she didn't told that. She just said that she needed time to decide). They wanted to keep that secret and often times both of them told her stories about each side, they told her to think wisely when the time came and at that moment she didn't had the answer. Since laws in the States were different than back in Japan she had no idea what to expect, so she would wait and see what both sides were like before she even considers a side.

    Name: Maisie Aubrey
    Age: 19
    Species: Succubus
    Alignment: Light although tends to stay away
    Occupation: Receptionist at Hospital | Part-time college student
    Role Within the Fae Community: None really and does not want to become further involved
    Education: Currently pursuing her bachelors degree in Social Work
    Hobbies: Involved in a few on-campus organizations, volunteers at the children's hospital

    How Do They View Humans?: Humans are just as valuable as any other living, breathing, and thinking being. Maisie truly does not understand why anyone would view them as chattel to be brought, sold, or tormented for their personal amusement. Throughout her short years of life, the young woman has been deeply involved within human culture. In fact, she had little inclination that she was different until her mother told her the truth about what exactly she was when considered old enough to handle the responsibility. Maisie has loved humans, either romantically or through friendship, and experienced the world through their eyes on many occasions without feeling the compulsion of superiority towards them. Even when one or even a group of them does something incredibly stupid, her feelings towards humans as a whole remains infatuated and beyond friendly.   

    ~Appearance~
    Hair: Dark Brown
    Eyes:Hazel
    Height: 5'5
    Physical Description: Maisie has been described as pretty by more than a few men, women, and anything  in-between. However, despite these many compliments, she views herself to be quite plain in the grand scheme of beauty to be found within the world. She possesses a fairly petite frame with barely presence curves within her slim figure. The young woman always wished for bigger breasts but sadly her request was never answered although now she has become quite accustomed to her small ones. Her dark brown hair is naturally wavy in texture, incredibly soft to the touch, and falls just below her shoulders. It probably would be longer in length if she did not go through a small faze in her youth where she wanted a fashionable short hairstyle like some of her female peers. Rarely is her lengthy hair ever fully straightened because it simply takes too much work and upkeep. Oddly enough, she has been told more than once that she smells like either apples or cinnamon even though she does not use any products with those scents within them. Due to the protectiveness of her mother, there are little to no scars marring her otherwise cared for skin. She was not allowed any piercings other than her ears, and even those were only one hole within each ear.
    Distinguishing Features: None really.
    Character Model:Shanina Shaik

    ~Indepth~

    What Do They Feed Off Of?: A succubus feeds and heals herself by drawing chi through the mouths of her lovers, friends, volunteers, or victims; and from the energy created from engaging in sexual activity. The succubus can kill someone by draining their victim of his or her chi. Although Fae can tolerate having their chi taken more than humans can, they are not immune from being injured or killed because of it.

    Power(s):

    Seduction and manipulation: A Succubus seduces and manipulates with the touch of her skin on another's. This contact is very pleasurable and eliminates her victim's resistance so she can feed from him or her, or engage in sex. If her target is a female bisexual or homosexual, or open to experimentation, the sexual seduction is successful; if, however, she is strictly heterosexual and not attracted to same-sex activity it will not have an effect. The same applies to male targets: if they are heterosexual they will respond, but if they are homosexual the seduction will be rejected. The victim can be left confused about what had come over him or her, or without a memory of what had happened. Her succubus touch can also be used to calm someone down, and to acquire information from a target.

    Resuscitation: A Succubus can resuscitate Fae and human, alike, by transferring chi into them.

    Healing: Accelerated healing by "feeding" through kissing or absorbing the energy created from having sex.

    Sexual Aura Reading: A Succubus can see the level of someone's sexual attraction and lust.

    Superhuman Strength: A Succubus possesses noticeably superior physical strength than an average adult human.

    Longevity: While not immortal, Succubi possess longer lifespans than humans.

    Strengths:

    Body

    Weaknesses: Must have as many weaknesses as strengths or a minimum of 2.

    Personality:

    Appreciative: Due to her sheltered childhood, Matsie has always been appreciative of what has been placed in front of her, whether if object or person, because she could never be fully certain when it would be snatched from her life or allowed back within her presence again.

    Compassionate: Compassion toward even the most small and sometimes viewed as inconsequential of creatures was a trait which was prevalent within Matsie even when she was a toddler and barely willing to utter much of a word. Rather than display fear towards what some recoiled from, all she felt was natural curiosity build within her. Unlike those who were more scientifically minded with their interactions within the world, she has never felt compelled to alter whatever captures her fancy or influence their behavior in any way unnatural to themselves.

    Noncommittal: This trait is not only tied to her romantic endeavors but also peppered through other portions of her life. If it was not for her mother's insistence, Matsie probably would not have chosen to become light or dark fae because she is naturally leery any type of commitment even if it might benefit her in the long run.

    Gentle and Sweet: Despite her flaws, and yes there are some to be found if one actually looks for them (Matsie can be occasionally forgetful, she isn't exactly a genius either, and sometimes she has proven to be manipulated easily) the young woman is genuinely caring about others and looked on favorably by almost anyone who comes within her company. She does not mind speaking with anyone, even those who are largely ignored by society.

    Decadent and Indulgent (only applies when hungry): Unfortunately, there are certain hungers which cannot be easily suppressed with the consumption of strawberry sprinkled poptarts and packages of ramen noodles, preferably shrimp. Matsie does not feed more than necessary but neither does she intentionally neglect herself. There have been times though where she misjudged moments where her hunger was actually a need rather than just another late night craving. Whenever those instances happen, her personality has known to switch from the person whom most are accustomed to. The gentle soul becomes more assertive and aggressive with her partners. She can be found in places where she would never think to visit for a feed and more readily manipulates her prey, uncaring of the little clauses put in place for those who were not to be feed from such as married men or women.

    History: Maisie is the only child of a popular succubus by the name of Olivia. In order to fully understand Maisie one must first become more than acquainted with her mother.

    Olivia came from a family which did not really have much to offer the world other than their constant complaints about their shitty lot in life. He mother died in labor with what would have been Olivia's fifth sibling if the child had not also perished due to the umbilical cord choking the life from her lungs before the doctors could extract her in time. Unfortunately, her mother left her children within the care of a drunk and abusive father. His temper only became worst day after day, causing their beatings for minor infractions to become more severe. As soon as she was capable, Olivia left the place where she called home for most of her life in search of something which might be better than what her father lashed into her skin each night. It was during this time, Olivia first years her powers as a succubus to help earn gain for herself. Little by little, she started to manipulate her prey more and more until she received not only a place to sleep for the night but eventually keys to her own home as well within wealthy neighborhoods. Olivia was a mistress to many men but loved by none.

    It did not bother her as she constantly tossed one to the side followed quickly by another whenever someone with a larger bank account caught her attention. Eventually, the little girl from nowhere earned enough money to become more pickier with whom she spread her legs for. Unfortunately, the good life came to a quick end when her career was threatened by pregnancy despite her constant care to ensure it never happened. It was her intention to have the vermin killed and flushed from her body but the advice from someone she considered not only a lover but also dear friend propelled her to go through with the pregnancy. It was fortunate because Olivia loved her daughter fiercely upon the expansion of her stomach to the moment where mother and daughter meet in person for the first time. Maisie was born on a lovely spring day where it felt like the world was alive in color rather than constant gloom. True to her nature, she was a relatively sweet child who made little demands of her mother. In fact, Olivia likely would have preferred if her daughter was more vocal since she was scared something was mentally wrong with her even though Maisie displayed nothing of the sort. She just did not wish to cry or speak even when gravely injured.

    Eventually, Olivia did return back to her job but Maisie was shielded from most of her mother's interactions with those considered to be her lovers and financial providers. Maisie's life was fairly pain and boring for the first few years of her life. She spent her days within her mother's protective and sheltering company within the day. Sometimes they would have picnics in their backyard and then on other days her mother would watch as Maisie practice upon her cello. Then, at nights, she was promptly placed within the hands of her nanny, a trusted woman, who ensured the young succubus was not exposed to anything which might taint her innocent outlook upon the world. Her dreams were constantly filled with nothing but positivity while all nightmares were chased away before they had the opportunity to fully emerge. It was not until her mother was murdered at the hands of a jealous lover when she was barely six years of age, did Maisie's life become somewhat abnormal.

    For a while, she really did not understand why her mother did not come back in the morning as she always did. For weeks she cried and then there was nothing but the same silence her mother worried about when she was an infant. Maisie refused to speak with anyone nor did she touch her cello for about a year. She honestly cannot remember what or even why she came out of her silent grief but eventually one day she was able to bear it.

    Life continued and Maisie became her vibrant self, a source of light to all within her life, as she became older. However, her next life obstacle came when she was in high school. Until then, she showed no indication of being whatever her father was (she doesn't know the guy to this day) or what her mother was (which she came to find was a succubus through her own investigation. She paid little attention to how much attention seemed to be coming her way than normal. Then, one time when her long-time boyfriend pushed for more than she had been offering, Maisie more than willing yielded and almost tossed herself toward him rather than holding out on the goods. The only reason why he managed to survive was due to her becoming aware of how he ceased to thrust within her the more she drained chi from his body.

    Thankfully, afterwards she was able to just create a lie which she could not be certain her then boyfriend believed about both of them passing out from exhaustion. Sating her appetite became a constant struggle because she did not feel comfortable talking about it with her guardian. Instead, she tried heavy consumption of pornographic films and then other toys. However, those were merely distractions which caused her to become all the more hungrier afterwards. To protect her reputation at school, she traveled a bit further than her guardian would like on the bus and find herself using her womanly wiles to secure someone whom she hoped to be a stud. It was only during this period did Maisie's already present attraction to women explode to the point where she happily satisfied her hunger with them as well. It was by complete accident that during one of these little ventures that she meet her first fae. She could not be certain if he was light or dark because it did not seem to matter for what she required but his chi was far more satisfying than she experienced from humans.

    Yet, due to knowing about how her mother perished, Maisie resisted the idea of venturing forth within the light or dark until she coincidentally become a roomate with one of the light during her first year of school.

    Name: Moren Calibrae
    Age: 1863 (appears in his mid-late 30s)
    Species: Gemini
    Alignment: Dark Fae
    Occupation: Bodyguard/Retainer/Champion of the Dark Fae Leader (Vivian)
    Role Within the Fae Community: Protector and Champion
    Education: Moren hasn't had formal schooling. He learned the skills of a servant at a young age, and later the basics of combat and tactics when he was pressed into service to fight a land war. His skills have improved through practise and use over the centuries, and he has gained new knowledge along the way.

    Hobbies: Weapons practise, time spent wining and dining beautiful women, gaming and gambling, movies, time spent away from the city, where he feels more free to be himself.

    How Do They View Humans?: Moren bears them no ill will. He believes they are by their nature fragile, but will influence the future of the fae due to sheer force of numbers, their tendency to shape the world around them and the fae's reliance on them for feeding.

    ~Appearance~
    Hair: Dark Brown
    Eyes: Ice blue
    Height: 6 ft
    Physical Description: Tall and imposing, Moren carries himself with an agility and deftness even when he is at ease. It is borne of centuries of training, with a preternatural awareness that carries over into more relaxed moments. This said, there is much to the man beyond his role for the Dark Fae and at times he is not working, he will usually dress casually so as not to forget who and what he is.
    Distinguishing Features: Dark hair and ice blue eyes. No tattoos or markings.
    Character Model: Christian Bale

    ~Indepth~

    What Do They Feed Off Of?: Human emotions. It doesn't matter what they are so long as they're strong.

    Power(s):

    Self-duplication: A Gemini can create exact physical duplicates of themselves. The duplicates must remain within line of sight, and the more that are created, the less precise each may become. These are tangible and solid, just as another person is. They can speak, breathe and interact with the subject just as a normal person can. Objects they hold (like weapons) can also be replicated, but may shatter if hit.

    Duplication of Others: A Gemini can create a single duplicate of another person, which can fool onlookers. The duplicate must remain within line of sight of the Gemini, otherwise they will disappear. A duplicate of another person will have questionable solidity dependent on distance from the Gemini, so if touched it may be noticed that they are not who they appear to be. He cannot replicate their voice, just their visual appearance. There is another limitation with this ability, that it would be a stationary image or only capable of moving if it is a direct mirror of the person represented, meaning they would need to move as they wish their duplicate to. (Still Under Discussion)

    Transparent Duplication: Instead of creating a solid duplicate, a Gemini can create a transparent one that shows a ghost-like visage of himself or another person within line of sight.

    Strengths:

    Skillful: He is a man who has spent centuries developing his skills and abilities. He is adept with various weapon types including bladed weapons (swords, knives, axes), ranged weapons (bows, throwing knives), firearms (pistols, rifles, semi-automatic and automatic weapons) and more exotic and archaic weapons. His powers don't increase his fighting abilities (insofar as inflicting damage), they're more focused on trickery and so he relies on the fighting skills he has developed with practise over the centuries. He is 'that good'.

    Loyal: He is a profoundly loyal man, dedicated to the Dark Fae and the protection of its leader.

    Cunning: He is excellent at employing trickery in a fight and this translates over to other settings. He's an excellent card player and he often anticipates the course events may take.

    Weaknesses:

    Cold: It has been said before that Moren has no heart. He has watched atrocities occur and not intervened, and he has commited more acts of violence than he could count. He is not by nature an evil man, he doesn't delight in cruelty, but he has very little conscience.

    Cynical: He has seen the lives of men and fae ended in the blink of an eye, and has been responsible for many of those endings, himself. Life over the centuries has shown him what fae and humans are capable of, and how little impact many lives have on a world that keeps on turning. He may not look it or feel it physically, but he is old and in some ways, his mind is tired. It only feeds into his cynicism.

    Personality:

    Protective (Positive): As a bodyguard (and champion when required), his job is that of a protector. He is suitably employed because this is a reflection of his basic nature - he is a dominant male whose instinct is to protect.

    Patient (Positive): His line of work requires a lot of patience, with time spent waiting or 'on call' should his skills be needed. He accepts this comfortably, when a less patient man would not.

    Brave (Positive): When in peril, his bravery gives him the added strength to fight through the circumstances he is facing.

    Obedient (Neutral): He is one to follow orders to the letter, and it isn't often that he would allow personal feelings or opinions to influence actions taken in the line of duty.

    Conformist (Negative): He has become what is expected as a Dark Fae bodyguard of his calibre.

    Uncompromising (Negative): He doesn't let compassion interfere with dispatching a foe.   


    History:

    Moren's initial education was so long ago he scarcely remembers it. Somewhere in Europe almost 2000 years ago, in a village that had no name he knew, young Moren was forced into servitude by his father. He learned at that time what it meant to clean a house and cook food, but he was not let near his Master's weapons, let alone taught to fight with them. Servants didn't have that privilege. He picked up a sword for the first time ten years later - somewhat as an act of rebellion, and an uncertain number of years after that, was pressed into service during a regional land war. He learned the basics of fighting and tactics from an elder soldier named Calibrae, and centuries later he took on the name in honour of the man he knew, and because he'd never had a last name of his own. Moren was equal parts self-taught in weapons and combat tactics, with skills and knowledge gained from wars and personal combat over the centuries. He has, to this day, never attended a formal school of learning. A dark fae succubus named Eloise, who was once his lover, taught him to read and write, but at this point she has been dead for hundreds of years.

    He wasn't aware that his parents were fae, though he had memories of his father duplicating himself, which is an ability unique to the Gemini. Moren never knew his mother, so he doesn't know what she was. It was only later that he realised humans and other fae were different and didn't have the same abilities. His father had kept it a secret, because people feared those who were different and could turn violent with little provocation. He never used his Gemini ability during that war - it was too flashy for a man who had spent his earlier life attempting to go unnoticed. He did eventually show it to another of the survivors from that first war - a man whose name is now lost to the mists of time and poor memory, and he had been the one to tell Moren 'it wasn't normal'. However, he had also seen the wondrous abilities of some men within the battle, and he brought Moren to their attention. These men were fae, long before dark and light were so clearly divided.

    Moren was freed from his service, and while he didn't think any man should be made to fight, he knew they were following the orders of a greater man and stayed to learn what he could from them. It appeared to be a wise choice. One man, Krellion - a Mesmer, was slain sometime in the 5th Century; Feringor, a Siren, was felled in the same battle. Grondrel, Moren never found out what happened to him. He disappeared around a hundred years later, and only Sihnihan, a werewolf, lived on accounted for, in addition to Moren. The group stayed together for centuries, at first carrying out the leader's will in taking back the lands he had once owned, but when the fighting settled down, they deserted in favour of more welcoming company.

    His Dawning occurred when he was around 200 years of age, and he would have known nothing of what to expect if it wasn't for the band of fae he fell in with, who were training him in the art of battle. They trained him as well as anyone could, though he found his blunt approach did not serve him so well in the temple as it did in his everyday life. Nevertheless, he succeeded and grew in power and skill, in ways years of training would not have benefited him.

    The group would travel to new lands, taking time to acclimate, growing to know the people and understand the political climate of the region. When war occurred, as it always inevitably did, Feringor's men were ready to step in and guide the course of the battle. Moren learned a great deal about strategy and tactics, as well as the callousness of men and fae alike, during those centuries. It was the deaths of Krellion and Feringor that eventually put an end to their way of life. Moren believed them killed by enemy fae, for no ordinary human enemy should've been able to kill inordinately powerful fae so easily. More had slaughtered his way through as many of the enemy's troops as possible, but who never knew if he avenged his friends. This was the end of an age for Moren, and without information to avenge hs friends, he left to pursue a different life. One well away from wars, but where his skills might still be of use.

    He travelled to England and fell in with a band of swordsman mercenaries and became one of the more devoted among their number. His powers didn't see much use while he was in England, some of the time serving on Privateer ships, nor later in Spain when he trained as a master duellist under the watchful eye of the Italian swordsman, Sergio Verodicci. Moren spent most of his life after this in Europe, lending his sword arm to nobles and adding to the coffers of money he had accumulated. Life was good. There were no shortage of women who paid him attention, and he was doing what he loved, but he sought more. He had crossed paths with many fae, but there was always something missing. There was the absence of his friends, of course, but he sought to increase his involvement with the fae.

    It was what brought him to America's shores in the early 1900s, travelling widely, meeting fae in many cities before he came to settle in New York. There hadn't been an elaborate choosing for Moren, as far as his side in fae politics. He'd chosen sometime during the late 1700s and stated his alignment thereafter. It was in 1954 that he walked into the office of the Dark Fae leader of New York City and informed them that he was a dark fae who had come to reside in their territory, and could they point him in the direction of an employer who might require a master swordsman and pistoleer. He's been working for the Dark Fae ever since.

    Connections: Vivian - the leader of the Dark Fae who he must protect; TBC.

    Likes: Weapons, fighting, music, women, time spent with friends, gaming and gambling.
    Dislikes: Insults, being disrespected and cats.
    Fears&Phobias: Failing in his duty and having friends or family used against him.
    O/Os: Vanilla, D/s, passion and romance. Something set well apart from his job and role, which gives him cause to feel like a man and not a killer, and unleash the pent up warmth in his nature.

    Occupation: Administrative Assistant
    Role Within the Fae Community: Troublemaker

    How Do They View Humans?: Entertainment

    ~Appearance~
    Hair: Black
    Eyes: Brown
    Height: 5'7"
    Physical Description: Dusky skinned, mischievous eyed, wide hipped, moves like a dancing girl.
    Distinguishing Features: Striking brown eyes, beguiling movements.
    Character Model: Haifa Wahbe

    ~Indepth~

    What Do They Feed Off Of?: Khalidah has two sources of nutrition. The first is greed. This is her bread and butter. She draws basic sustenance from being around those who are strictly material. The second, much more desirable and exotic dish is the energy that comes from the creation of purely aesthetic beauty. Being present for the completion of a great work of art, especially one in a permanent form, can satisfy her for quite some time.

    Power(s):

    Conjuration: Khalidah is imbued with the energy of creation, she can summon castles of ruby and armies of devils if sufficiently empowered. There are two levels to her ability, the first is minor summoning which she can do at anyone's whim. Mortal whims are entirely up to her to grant or not. This can be anything from the perfect cup of coffee to a brand new luxury car. Anything more substantial than that is outside of her ability to grant without a wish. Wish granting is something that only a fae can demand of her. A number of factors play into the limits here. The more the fae desires it, the stronger her power, the more of an authority the fae is, the stronger her power (i.e. a king can demand more than a peasant), and finally if she is currently bound to an item, whoever holds the item can demand more of her than the rest of the world can. Whether Khalidah can grant a wish or not, she herself does not know until she tries.

    Temptation: Khalidah's mere presence can destroy the inhibitions of those around her, and when she focuses her energy very few mortals can resist seeking their most intimate desires with all of their being. As part of this process, she can also divine what people's desires are. Fae exhibit various levels of resistance to this, with no real rhyme or reason to who is completely susceptible and who is completely immune.

    Strengths:

    Dust Devil: Khalidah, true to her name, will live forever. In any situation where she would suffer fatal damage, her body shifts to blowing sand and reforms elsewhere, escaping even vacuum and airtight chambers. When this happens she is made anew, any tattoos or piercings or surgeries vanish, it also breaks any binding placed on her. She will remain young and beautiful for all eternity.

    Well-Connected: Years of working for the most powerful and wealthy mortals on Earth have left Khalidah access to fantastic amounts of material wealth. She has access to her corporate expense account and a limitless credit card.

    Weaknesses:

    There are a few, uh, provisos:  Khalidah's access to her power is quite limited. She cannot call forth from her own imagination, only the wishes of others. Attempts to get around this through being cutesy, such as a friend of hers wishing for something she wants, always fail. She cannot snuff out anyone's life and she cannot control anyone's mind. 

    Troublemaker:  Khalidah's nature does not require her to subvert the goals of her master or mistress, but she must twist any spell in the favor of creating desire in the world. Without greed there is nothing to feed her, and without pain and misery and want there is no art. The more wishes a person puts to her, the more twisted her results can get. As a rule, if the wisher holds an item she is bound to, the first three wishes are safe. 

    Easily Bound: Khalidah is, for all of her power, easy to capture and force into servitude. She is especially easy to bind to an accessory or item of jewelry, which gives her no choice but to serve the one who holds it. Khalidah can never harm the person who holds her bound item. Those fae who have legitimate, long standing claims to power and authority can command her through sheer force of will and have no need to bind her first, unless she is currently bound and someone else has the item. Both light and dark fae can also accomplish this, but there are fewer dark fae with the longevity and authority to force her to obey if she is not bound.

    A Human Shell: Khalidah is no more strong, agile, or quick than she appears to be - a slender woman in her early 20s with no real muscles and who cares more about her looks than her physical prowess. Put toe to toe against nearly any other fae, Khalidah will lose a physical fight. She is also very physically sensitive, which can be a perk, but more often than not is something that is used against her.

    Personality:

    Intense: when someone has Khalidah's attention, they feel it. Her eyes judge and dare and her lips promise and entice, the weaker willed cannot handle it.

    Self-Centered: Khalidah has an extremely high opinion of herself and reacts with hostility to any suggestion otherwise.

    Bad Influence: You know those things your rational mind tells you not to do? Khalidah wants you to do them.

    Aesthete: Khalidah could sit and gaze on works of art and beauty for years. She has, in fact.

    Sensual: When around those who have artistic desires and ambition, Khalidah can hardly keep herself off of them. Their personalities turn her on, a lot.

    Disconnected: Khalidah feels no connection to any place, person, or thing. She has seem empires falls and be rebuilt. She knows nothing that dies or burns can't be replaced. Those who feel strong loyalty to any particular place or person will find Khalidah a little bit "off."

    Lonely: To Khalidah's knowledge, she is the only Fae like herself alive today. For all of her contacts and conquests and masters, she longs for someone who she can truly connect with like the lovers in works of art she admires.

    History:

    Khalidah was born in Maragheh under the reign of the Khwarazm Shahs many centuries ago. Her mother was a succubus and concubine to the great men of her time, and her father an ifrit who fought as a soldier for the ancient kingdom. As a reward for his service, he was given a night in the harem, and he made the most of it.  Khalidah was born so quickly afterwards her birth would have been seen as a miracle if her mother was a public figure. In a matter of a week she grew to full terms and was born to her confused, and somewhat awed mother. Khalidah grew to adulthood at an accelerated pace and was fully mature, intellectually, emotionally, and physically within five years of her birth.

    She worked in the harem with her mother for many years, learning the various tricks of the trade and how to survive among humans. She learned both from her mother and the man they served, who himself was a powerful light fae. She found herself drawn to him, eager to obey him, and able to summon items to fulfill his wishes. Ala ad-din Muhammad was also the first man to bind her, tying her to a lamp in his possession. She found that this increased her powers substantially. She also granted the first wishes of her life to this man. Unfortunately, when he wished for the progress of the world around him to leap forward, Khalidah's nature revealed itself and there was, to put it mildly, a consequence.

    The Mongols sacked the city. The new rulers were ambitious, and skilled and unlike any of the soft nobles that came to her in the harem. Ala ad-din Muhammad faked his death and fled north with Khalidah's mother, never to be seen again, although he smashed the lamp as he left he meant it to harm Khalidah, not free her. It turned out such an action did not harm her at all.  She attached herself to a Mongol commander and found her exceptional power growing by leaps and bounds as his desires fueled it. She happily provided weapons and horses and all sorts of pleasures for him. However when his wishes turned to the destruction of great works of art, sacking libraries and such, Khalidah found she could no longer empower him. She found another in his camp, one whose heart was much more peaceful, and whispered her temptations in his ear. With her magic giving him strength and ambition, he controlled the political scene and as a result the land was governed by a peaceful ruler. Art flourished once again. It was during this time that she faced her Dawning, and passed it with flying colors.

    The new Empire she found herself a part of included opened roads and connections to lands she had only heard stories of. Khalidah felt herself drawn east to Ming China and there first encountered the war between light and dark fae. Her mother had explained this to her, but she found herself off guard by the levels of vitriol and hatred she experienced. A powerful light fae named Zheng Chenggong claimed her for his own, bound her to a rather lovely and intricate music box, and used her wish granting powers to expel the dark fae for miles around, resulting in several centuries of peace and order for the Ming Empire. However, Khalidah's vision of a peaceful world and her masters' clashed mightily, she resisted serving him, and he grew tired of her tricks and manipulations and trapped her in a small cell, sealing her off from the world, torturing her with just enough sustenance to keep her alive. Without her aid, the Ming Empire crumbled and her former master died in a fit of rage attempting to force his troops to show the loyalty Khalidah once had.

    Without Zheng around to feed her just enough to torment her, she finally starved, slowly. The process took decades but when she reached the point that she would have starved, Khalidah found herself turning to sand and blowing with the wind across the world. She reformed in London and gleefully drank in the greed and beauty of the industrializing world around her, growing strong almost instantly. She spent many years there, enjoying the ravenous desires of those around her. She lived through the world wars and reformations and political upheavals, reveling in all of it.

    Over time, she found she naturally fit in as a high level secretary. Her good looks and skill for giving those in power what they want made her very good at this job. Most recently her boss told her they were expanding to New York and that she was could go there if she wanted. She happily agreed, and for the last few months has found herself exploring and enjoying the city that can rightfully claim to be the center of the world. When she arrived, she found her new boss rather uninspired and boring. She is an excellent source of day to to day greed, and so Khalidah works diligently at her day job, but finds herself unfulfilled in a greater sense.

    She watches corporate America dance off beat by day, but by night she typically is in the VIP area of an underground studio that her office, without their knowledge, has permanently booked. There she watches musicians perform, secretly inspiring them and freeing their inhibitions, and enjoying the galleries of street artists that come there. She also is a life member of every local museum and street level gallery and spends a great deal of her free time at night perusing these studios. She has thus far not met any of the local fae, although she assumes she will in time.

    Connections: Several rather boring connections in her corporate day job. She is still looking for real connections.

    Likes: Art (Music, Sculpture, Painting, Architecture, Dance, Poetry, Literature, etc), Secrets, Destroying Wealth
    Dislikes: Poverty, Causes, Spiritualism
    Fears&Phobias: Being denied humanity, being trapped with people without desire or ambition

    I had this game brought to my attention by a friend yesterday. I'm interested and I've been looking at the site referenced since I've never seen a single episode of the show. Is that mandatory? lol

    I've been wanting to make an angel. I have a face claim for him, but I was wondering if the "angel" race was okay. I don't intend to make him the sort of Christian angel because I don't believe heaven exists in the Lost Girl verse. It was going to be a unique spin to help with the Light Fae morale.

    It would help a lot to watch it, I think. I don't remember there being angels, but I only re-watched the early episodes and the later episodes recently and skipped over the middle ones, which I saw years ago. There are valkyries who have angelic wings when in a transformed state. It's the closest I can think of.

    The GMs would be the ones to answer about angels.

I don't intend to make him the sort of Christian angel because I don't believe heaven exists in the Lost Girl verse. It was going to be a unique spin to help with the Light Fae morale.

    Hi TheBlackThrone, I'm glad to hear that you're interested in the game :-)

    As Amber said, it can be useful to watch a couple of espisodes of the show, which are on Netflix if you have it, but they aren't entirely necessary - though the show is really fun. I started watching a handful just to join the game and now I;ve watched all four seasons lol.

    There really aren't 'angels' per se in the Lost Girl verse, but you could easily adapt a similar kind of mythological creature (for example, the Japanese Tennin) to your use for your idea. If you want to send Cerigo and me a PM to discuss your idea, feel free :-)

    I'm going to send my spin on a angel first to see what sort of looks it gets. I like your bird idea, but I'm almost making a unique creature. I'll watch the first Lost Girl episode to see if I get into it lol. I remember when it first came out. I thought immediately, Oh lord another Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

    ~BASICS~



    Name: Salvatore Esposito
    Age: 515
    Species: Reaper
    Alignment: Dark
    Occupation: Business Owner
    Role Within the Fae Community: Offers sanctuary to Dark Fae within El Vino Rojo
    Education: College Educated, Certified Mortician
    Hobbies: Cars, Wine and Beer Making, Dancing, Theater, Movies and Television

    How Do They View Humans?: Food, Play toys, Inconsequential beings who rush to their deaths the moment they burst into the world bloody and screaming.

    ~Appearance~
    Hair: Black
    Eyes: Grey
    Height: 6'2
    Physical Description: Salvatore stands tall at 6'2 with a broad shoulder physique. Despite his rather imposing height, his body is a result of working and not much else. He has a hairy chest and back and very "average" in terms of musculature. If he spends a weekend or two eating out and drinking he needs to hit the gym or cut back on the calories but he does not spend hours a day attempting to achieve some form of physical perfection.
    Distinguishing Features: Grey Eyes, Hairy chest, constant o'clock shadow - even if he shaved twenty minutes earlier.
    Character Model: Jon Hamm

    ~Indepth~

    What Do They Feed Off Of?: Death - Every human that dies feeds and sustains him. His food source is infinite and endless. Wars, Famine, Poverty, Taco Bell...all tools that provide sustenance for him.

    Power(s):
    Ethereal sight - Salvatore can see into the spiritual aspect of the mortal realm and see the spirits trapped or refusing to move on. He can communicate with these spirits  and help them move on to the afterlife, by force if necessary.

    Necromancy - Salvatore is capable of bring the dead back to life but only for a limited about of time. What he brings back in unpredictable and has proven unstable in the past. He is less likely to use this ability unless it is absolutely necessary.

    Evocation - Salvatore is able to summon and commune with spirits to the mortal plane and even permit them into the realm of the living, momentarily, through evocation.


    Strengths:

    Weaknesses:
    Vow of non-violence - Reapers may not kill nor intervene in the matters of death personally. They are simply witnesses to the inevitable. A Reaper that kills (purposely) or intervenes in such matters lose all their powers. They cease being "Fae" and must live the rest of their (normal mortal life span) lives as a mortal.

    Unstable "Magic" - Death Magic is highly unstable and unpredictable. It is not a skill that can be passed on in tome and scroll. Such magic is used cautiously and sparingly by Reapers out of concern of their consequences on them and those around them.

    Death "Sense" - Salvatore can feel and "see" a person's "death clock". But like his vow of non-violence, he can not share the information or break his vow and lose all his powers. This extra sense also allows him to feel death in mass before it occurs. Tragedies that consume many lives or just one, he foresees it and is unable to do anything about it.




    Personality:
    Dogmatic- Salvatore doesn't care which god you worship on Sundays or what false prophet you bow for. There is no escaping death, it is the only guarantee in the world. Even those who believe themselves immortal will learn just how wrong they are. 2-3 thousand years is nothing in the grand scheme of things. He is not some bible thumping pest who wishes to tell you about his one master but be wary bringing up the topic of spirituality around him.
    "One day, your god will be reaped just as all the others."

    Blunt - Don't come to Salvatore if you want to be coddled. Salvatore will tell you the truth and does not care about offending the person he does in the process.

    Expressive - Behind his steel grey eyes, Salvatore has no issue expressing himself. Considering his "grim/morbid" role within both Fae and Human society he is surprisingly positive about the world. Life is meant to be enjoyed for your time on earth is limited, even for himself.

    Businesslike - Sal takes great pride in what he and his family have accomplished in the new world. Reapers typically rarely associated businesses to their craft until the Esposito family. Profiting in death is a new concept to Reapers but a well fitting one. Sal thought ahead by branching into other business. While his small niche in the business world does not register in Forbes, he has all the time at his disposal to expand at his pace.

    Calm - He is hard to anger and tends to keep himself composted in stressful situations (which he rarely gets into thanks to his cautious nature).

    Observant - Reapers are witnesses, they watch the world and make sure the balance remains in place. When one is meant to watch, they learn to pick up on the subtle natures of the world. A twitch, a "sign" a person's tell, these are all things he notices and keeps track of.

    History: The Esposito family hails from Italy dating back a few centuries. Like many fae they serve either the light or the dark but rarely caused waves. Reapers are some of the only fae that can lose their powers and change their classification to "human".

    Like many other Italians escaping poverty in the late 1800's, Salvatore came to the United States seeking a better life. His parents stayed home, comfortable in their ways with little ambition besides their small town mortician practice.

    Sal had little to his name but quickly found himself working in a restaurant. He developed a passion for cooking, a deviation from the family trade (Morticians). It took him many years but he worked his way up from a pizza boy to an owner of his own corner shop in Brooklyn. Over the next few decades he went from one shop, to two then four, stagnating during the great depression but business began to pick up in the early 30's.

    Through blood, sweat and tears he balanced his new passions for the food industry and his role as Reaper within New York. Post World War two he managed a few dozen pizza shops and opened "El Vino Rojo". Business is booming for him, he has become a hot spot for his community and her assist other Dark Fae in finding work in the city if it is needed. Salvatore is happy to help, but don't try to bull shit him. While loyal to the Dark Fae, he is no pushover. 


    Connections: Vivian Friends, Vivian's consigliere (future). They have known one another since he arrived in New York.

    Likes: Dark Beers, Cars (He does not have a stocked garage, but does lease a nice toy here an there), Wine and fine dining, cooking Italian food, Watching the Boston Red Sox
    Dislikes: The Yankees, Religions, Politics
    Fears&Phobias: Being pushed to kill and losing his powers before he is ready.
    O/Os: Sex is great, what else needs to be said? His safe word is Chocolate cake.

    ~BASICS~

    Name: Róis Órfhlaith Coburn
    Age:212
    Species:Brownie
    Alignment:Unaligned
    Occupation: Works at the Waypoint for Aiden
    Role Within the Fae Community: Being de best Browine a girl could be...that counts right
    Education: Has taken to keeping up with her education throughout the years.
    Hobbies: Helping those she has chosen to work for, cooking, dancing, collecting strange things, staying active, hiking and being outdoors,

    How Do They View Humans?: Squishy messy things really, always leaving trash where ever they go, never taking care of anything. And they always take what they have for granted, I could never work for one.  They would never survive properly within our world. Probably try to kill the lot of us really, even a helpful Brownie like myself isn't safe with the way they think.

    ~Appearance~
    Hair: Red in long layers that have a soft wave to them and falls down just past her shoulders.
    Eyes:Emerald green
    Height:5' 2''
    Physical Description: Diana has what one may call a delicate frame, she has been compare to seemingly like an elf or that of a fay. She knows that some may not appeal to her thinner frame and long legs, her style tends to be a bit unique. Her body is slim and lean, delicate features and fragile frame. Her soft female curves alluring enough to draw the eye, her breasts just big enough to fill a strong hand and full hips perfect for birthing. She is perfect example of feminine nature, truly designed to be the creation of beauty and one of a kind.  Her green eyes large, warm and inviting. Her hands delicate and well trained. The only thing that seems to tarnish her perfect completion is the small crescent shaped scar on the back of her right shoulder.

    Distinguishing Features: When angry Róis show the traits of her darker side, the draw and family blood line she has received from her mother. The woman turned into a boggart just before Róis was born. So when she get pushed to being angry her eyes grow darker, her ears become slightly pointed, her nails become sharp as claws, and even her skin takes on a paler tone. No doubt there would be more changes if she were to fully change.

    Character Model:
    Darya Lebedeva
    ~Indepth~

    What Do They Feed Off Of?: Cream, honey, milk, sweets....

    Power(s):
    Lady luck: Brownies have always been known to bring luck to the homes they serve. Though the luck Róis brings to a place can be greatly influenced by her emotional state. Positive emotions tend to bring forth good luck, while negative emotions tend bring forth bad luck.

    Desires/fears:
    Róis has the ability to read what someone wants most when she is in a positive mood, but when her mood shifts it tends to be only to be their fears that she can read.


    Strengths:
    Finding: She knows where to get just about anything it seems. A long line of brownies serving this house or that family has led to a extensive network of connections. There really isn't anything she can't find, human items are the easiest things to get their hands on. But that doesn't mean Róis cant get what any fae needs, her gift to find what one needs has come in handy with most anyone she has worked for. Now the price that some of these things comes at may or may be far to much for those she serves to afford. And by cost she normally does not mean money, due to her age and a rather saffy business sense Róis has managed to collect a wonderful little nest egg.

    Multi-skilled: Róis seems to have a great deal of useful skills that she uses in her work. Cooking, cleaning, tinkering or fixing, patching, sewing, cobbling, painting, and several other small tricks of the brownie trade that she has gathered over the years.

    Stealth: Róis has a talent for not being seen until she wants to be, living in the locations she works at Róis needs to remain out of the way to appear when she is needed again.

    Language: Due to her never knowing who she could end up working for, Róis has learned a great many languages. Not all of them human, some of the fae have very strange ways of communicating indeed.


    Weaknesses:
    Physical: Róis is like any other browine, shorter with a petite frame, and has the normal strength level of a human her size, in fact beyond a fae's longevity and healthy body she is on par with a human.

    Combat: Róis isn't a fighter, sure she can sneak about when need be but would do better to avoid most any combat situation as she is simply not built for it or had any extensive training for it.

    Risk of change:
    Due to her mother becoming a boggart(it is rare but a truly wronged Brownie can become this) while she was still pregnant with Róis she risks doing so herself when pulled to far into the negative emotions. If she were to fully change there would be no going back, no more helping and a need to feed on the fear of others that would most likely be uncontrollable when first changing.

    Fear of drowning:
    Róis has a fear of drowning that came from her childhood thus she has never learned to swim. And doesn't plan on fixing that any time soon.

    Personality:
    Observant: Róis has always been very observant, noticing the things most didn't, or catching onto things a bit faster. Subtle tells, random hints or clues, making sure each detail was just right. Perhaps its a browine thing, or maybe just one of silly quirks.

    Understanding: Due to the nature of her job Róis has seen and worked for a great many different fae. You see and come in contact with a lot in the strange life a Browine chooses, Róis has learned to readily except most anything for what it is. All fae are different, feed on different things, strive for different things and live in different ways

    Fun-loving: Róis for the most part has a bright spirit that enjoys life, it isn't strange to see her busting a move while cleaning, or jumping right into a game of some sort.

    Hardworking:you wont find a harder worker the Róis as long as you have good standing with her. Though if you don't well all that hard work goes to making you live hell...so its best to stay on her good side.

    Confidential: Róis has worked for a wide range of Fae, all of which have their secrets. Róis refuses to share secrets she find or is given unless allowed to(or somehow forced) as she believes secrets are for those that keep them and only they should really be sharing them.

    Obedient: Róis as most browines when kept happy will do most anything their chosen "employer" asks them to do. Though one should never take her for granted, it never ends well when you mistreat a Browine.

    Vindictive: NEVER...and we do me NEVER piss off a Brownie specially this browine her strange heritage can make for a very bad set of events for who ever her anger is set towards. But believe me you'll know because Róis in never one to hide her displeasure.


    History: Róis an interesting and rather strange brownie has a story that starts before she was even born. Now most don't know this but a Boggart was once a Brownie, but had been hurt or wrong in such a way that it scared their souls or so some of the stories go. That certain something wronged them so much that it shifted something inside the usually helpful beings and turns them into something darker, a being that feeds on fear and enjoys the screams of panic. It’s rare for sure, it’s why you hardly ever see a Boggart (their mostly just stories now), granted if you did you probably didn't live long enough or retain enough of her mind to really speak of it afterward. Now the reason I'm explaining this is because this very shift or change happened with Róis mother. Only it happened when she was with child, little Róis hadn't even been born yet and already she knew the taste of fear.

    Róis has no idea what happened to change her mother so drastically, or what really happened to her after she was born. The small child was taken to her father and siblings to be raised as any good little brownie should, though the differences within her would always be apparent to those that knew her. She was unlike any other brownie, always pushing boundaries and talking about having her own life. But every day her father and siblings would tell her what she should be doing instead. They curbed her strange gifts to their way of life and forever said she had to be what all brownies were...workers, helpers, crafters, anything the house they served require. She tried to say it was more like being a servant, but they soon showed her that if wronged they would not take it lightly. Some of her brothers were more extreme than others when it came to retribution. Róis believes that punishment should fit the transgression, though if you wake up with a house full of shit well...then that is your fault.

    Róis had to learn to control not only her gifts but her emotions as well, her mother’s influence seeming to affect her more than her father had first thought possible. Thankfully as the years past Róis seemed to take to her role as good, and sometimes better than any brownie her father had seen. The bright spirit, and skilled hands reminded them all of her mother, granted that in some ways worried them, especially when it came time to choose a side.

    What none of them knew was Róis had heard of what happened to her mother, and had been trying to find out why she had turned and most of all why she had tossed her away. But that require her to venture further and further into the dark fae's territory for answers. Her father found out and begged her to stop searching, that she would never find an answer that would make her feel better about it all. But as Róis stood there debating her choice she couldn't help but think of her mother. They all missed her, but no one would tell her why or what happened. Feeling torn in two, all her life she had been with the light fae and they treated her well. But the only way to find the answers she wanted (and quite possibly the freedom), the answers she needed to understand the strange differences within her was to join the dark. So the young fae made the only choice she thought possible, and chose neither side. It was dangerous and her father was so disappointed in her, to this day he still ask if she has come to her senses.

    The following years were hard, working back and forth over the lines drawn between the fae. Some hated her for it and spent a great deal of time trying to punish her for it. But they soon found that this was not the brownie you wanted to cross. She may not have had much combat skill, but you didn't need that when you had the skills to make someone’s life hell, especially when you could read what they wanted or feared most. Granted not all of her encounters ended so well. Róis one worked for a dark fae that left her scared in more ways they one, though surprisingly no one has seen him since she left his employment. Róis refuses to speak of it; in fact she does not share any secrets she has learned throughout her years. After all why should she share hers when her own family wouldn't tell her the truth?

    Eventually by sheer chance Róis chose to begin caring for the Waystation, the patrons and its Keeper. Be it because it keeps her busy, because Aiden had helped her when she seemed to need it, or maybe it is that middle ground she has been searching for. Who knows, and Aiden hasn't tried to argue with the young Brownie (which is probably a good thing) so that is where she has remained for several years now.

    History: Marcus was born into a life outside the normal, ever since he was little his parent instructed him into the ways of the world. He learned about the light and the dark fae from a very young age and knew that when he came to age he had to make a choice. Since little he started developing his strength and endurance, going into sports like boxing and the like he always seemed to win or he seemed to just endure a lot of punishment. His life was much like that until he graduated from high school and began going to college, however at the age of eighteen he had something to do, go through the process of choosing a side.

    Since both of his parents were dark fae he had it easy, however the Gathering set upon him was nothing but hard. He was set to confront two underfae at the same time. Knowing full well how strong they were he was careful in fighting them however at the end he managed to beat the both of them with very strong punches that knocked them out before he could finish both of them. He was surprised after he passed the test as he declared his side, the dark!.

    Some time later while out exploring the world thanks to some money from his parents as a reward. He visited a lot of places until he ended up in London that is where he met a young woman called Kali being the target of some crazed fae. Without thinking much on anything else he charged through and helped her beat the crazed fae which was pretty easy with his strength and a few good punches that often snapped their necks. The fight was over and she started telling him to wish something but he said no, he didn’t like making wishes for something he didn’t earn. That answer stuck with her as he left her to continue exploring.

    Finally after awhile he set down on New York and got a job as a security guard as often as he could otherwise he continued doing jobs around the city as much as he could. He had enough for his small apartment and food when he needed to which made him happy. He often went around fixing peoples cars when he could as he worked at a car repair shop.

    Please be advised that we are no longer accepting characters over 1000 until further notice. We have plenty of them in the game as it is and want to have a wider range of character ages.  ::)

    Ok, I am thinking about using a Body Jumper who is either a medical examiner or a mortician. He would have a main form that would not necessarily have been his original body.But was a person that suffered some kind of brain damage that there is no one in there allowing him to use the body for the long term. He has power consolidated in this body in order to keep it for such a long time.

    His feeding sources would be the residual life force off the recently dead and sorrow experienced by the living. He can jump to living or dead hosts though they would be non-Fae only.

    Hey Swordsman. :)


    Kuroneko

    First off, Samurai Jack!  ;D

    Sounds like an interesting concept :-) We do have a character who's a mortician, so you might want to go the medical examiner route, but NYC is a big place, so there's certainly room for two ;).

    Are you talking about Salvatore, Kuro?

    If so, his family hails from Morticians, but Salvatore himself is a Restaurateur. He is a certified Mortician but is not practicing.

    DOH!  Thanks, Aiden. My brain, she not working so well today. I'm on the migraine train.  :-\

    But see, I was half right, he is a mortician :P

    Swordsman18

    ~BASICS~

    Name: Dr. Andre Monceau
    Fae Age : 264
    Species: Hsien
    Alignment: Dark Fae
    Occupation: Medical Examiner
    Role Within the Fae Community: (if any)
    Education: Medical Degree in Pathology
    Hobbies: Reading, Writing, Dancing, (classical), playing instruments. Righting the wrongs committed on select few patients.

    How Do They View Humans?: Human lives are stories, for him to watch, study and learn from.

    ~Appearance~
    Hair: Black short hair
    Eyes: Brown eyes
    Height: 6'1
    Physical Description: He is slim but fit, he has muscles but is not one to flaunt his strength or overexert himself
    Distinguishing Features: dark eyes that pierce and stare into those they glance upon, a tall but slim form which diminishes its presence to allow him to seemingly both be in a room but not make his mark on it
    Character Model: Nick Bateman

    ~Indepth~

    What Do They Feed Off Of?: The residual energy of the recently dead (about 8 hours being maximum). He also feeds off  of the grief and sorrow that people exhibit from the loss of a loved one.

    Power(s): He can jump from one body to another through touch, living (ONLY Non-Fae) or recently dead (8 hours maximum) using the energy he has acquired to take control of it. When in a living host, he can just be a passenger or take complete control. However he can remaining in a living host much longer if he is just a passenger rather than take control as he would need to fight the host. He can try to encourage them to do things as if like whispering in their mind but that also takes more energy than just riding around in them.

    Strengths:
    Moral Code: One does not kill or actively hunt humans in order to feed. One does not encourage humans to kill or harm others. And one does not allow  harm to come to what would be declared innocent humans even if this conflicts with other fae. And if one does come upon a true tragedy it is ones moral obligation to right or bring justice to those at fault.
    Experience: He has lived or 200 years and has studied the lives of countless individuals even in some cases living their lives after their death. He has filled many roles, seen several mistakes and does his best not to commit them.
    Pathology: If anyone knows how to kill people and get away with it, it is him. He has been doing the job in various ways for several decades in one form or another.

    Weaknesses:
    Acquired Weaknesses: He picks up the weaknesses of the bodies in which he inhabits, picking them up for the duration of the stay in the body and a short while after in his own body.
    Over analysis: He has  the trouble of breaking a situation down into too many small parts. It makes it so that sometimes he puts too much unnecessary thoughts into something that should be simple.
    Moral Code: His moral code can cause him to clash with other Fae or even human beings as he will often go out of his way to "fix" human problems.

    Personality:
    Educated - He lives a very cultured life, and so forth, he goes to plays, operas, and spends much of his time enriching himself in life. He brings this into his interactions with others along with allowing him to do his job efficiently.

    Adaptable - With his habit, he rights the wrongs through the bodies of those killed, so he must act like them to accomplish his goals. But also a Medical Examiner, he must be good at getting used to various sights, stories and so forth in relation to his patients.

    Ambitious - When aims for a goal, he eventually achieves it.

    Invisible - As a medical examiner, his job is to examine a body, report his findings and assist the police in any other way he could. He also feeds off those bodies so he minimizes his impact on the world as much as he can. He would rather be a face in a crowd than on some billboard somewhere.

    Obsessive - When a wrong needs to be righted, it needs to be done. He will find some way to do it. It does not matter if there are several obstacles in his way, he will work through them until it is done.

    Ritualistic - He follows a pattern, a very predictable pattern in his everyday life. He is a workaholic, in order to feed himself and give him access to finding out about the lives of humans.



    History:
    Andre was born in Haiti to two dark fae parents. His mother was a body jumper, while his father was a witch doctor. Though he was born in Haiti, his family relocated to England through the use of his mother’s abilities. In England, he received a classical education. His mother who was a cultured woman and very much a patron of the arts wanted only to be where her surroundings were most beautiful and intellectually stimulating. His father being seen with a multitude of beautiful women, caused him to be accused of adultery. Due to these accusations she and her family had to move to France. In France, he was influenced by the ideas of the time. At this time, France began to go through turmoil and its people unhappy.

    When he came of age after lots of experimentation with his abilities. He decided that since his power was quite literally to use the corpses of humans as puppets then he considered all of them to be puppets. And so he joined the dark fae, thinking that they were the ones most aligned with his way of thinking. His family was also taken into consideration when he made this choice as choosing light may have alienated himself from them.

    However Andre grew distracted, enticed by a young lady named Mariamne. Their romance lasted for several months. However, she increasingly became entangled in the Revolution. Something that Andre himself chose to stay out of. Eventually, it cost Marianne her life. She was turned in by those she trusted and publically guillotined for her purported transgressions against the people of France. Andre began at once to search for those responsible. He managed to catch some but for a select few, who, realizing they were being hunted, fled to America. Not being one to let the guilty escape, he pursued--crossing the Atlantic to the newly born États-Unis.

    During his hunt he was intercepted by a man who saw right through him. He was chastised initially for his actions, yet was asked if he wished to get justice for others in a proper manner. Death was only deserved by its dealer.

    Only a year or two after his mentor began teaching him. His mentor left, leaving him to apply his advice to Andre’s life. So he grew more active, becoming a doctor and learning how to care for life rather than take it away. Every good man changed the community for the better. Yet it went farther than that. He watched how society began to change and how time passed. Soon he could hear the raising of voices against that evil of slavery. He could even see that too would soon lead to war. And unsurprisingly it did. He did not partake of the war which needed to be fought by men more than fae. So he started to fade back, to watch as time passed him by. Injustices needed to be worked out from time to time. Accidents happened, mysterious deaths occurred all in the name of good.

    At the time of his Dawning, Andre went through an experience that was rather confusing but affirming. The journey he had showed him the good he had done. The people whose lives he enriched. But not by his dealing with death but by the ways he lived his life. His activities in the community, improving the lives of others were more valuable. Yet at the end of his journey, it affirmed his justifications as well, showing that in some select cases they were a necessary evil. But not an evil he needed to enact often. He was not meant to be a butcher, or a hand of fate. He was meant to be a role model for men.

    And in this he acquired a new ability, he could put his consciousness in the minds of living people. He did not have the amount of control that he has when in control of a dead body. Instead all he could do was influence or suggest. Outside of a certain range, the connection would be broken and he would be restored back to his own body.

    Nowadays, he is a medical examiner, working to better the lives of people affected by crime and corruption of the citizens. He is a member of several charitable organizations and commonly found to be volunteering one place or another. Only in the darkest of circumstances does he feel the need to equalize out the murders of others.


    Connections: Family/Friends/Etc

    Likes: The Ladies, Wine, music, dancing, a good party, a good death
    Dislikes: Unnecessary violence, beer, fast food, drugs, body piercings, Lepers and those who are already dead inside.
    Fears & Phobias: Mesmers/Body Jumpers: He is afraid of his own kind because of just the amount of destruction they can bring about. Around them, he either wants to kill them or get as far from them as possible. In his opinion, he should be the one in control. If that control is taken from him, he feels that it could undo all the good he has done.

     Sooooo... a little birdie (or rather a little Flower ::) ) told me I should give things another shot over here so if I can, I'd like to re-submit my original character. She's unchanged.

    Shannon Metaxas

    ~BASICS~

    Name: Shannon “Shay” Metaxas
    Age: 21
    Species: Seniatta
    Alignment: Dark
    Occupation: Student / Occasional con-woman
    Role Within the Fae Community: None
    Education: High school, Junior in College - Psychology major, engineering minor
    Hobbies: Riding her motorcycle, reading, partying, tinkering, gymnastics, swimming, dancing

    How Do They View Humans?: Shay was raised by humans and as such feels about the same about them as she views any creature. Some are good, some are assholes who deserve everything coming to them. She wades among them and typically sees herself as one of them until she is reminded that she is not.

    ~Appearance~
    Hair: Brown
    Eyes: Green
    Height: 5'6”
    Physical Description: Shay is slim up top with a modest B-cup and thick and curvy on the bottom half. She keeps herself in excellent shape with a toned core and strong arms and legs. She tends to dress to the occasion, usually opting for whatever is most comfortable while not being totally unflattering unless required to dress up. Generally speaking she gives off the same vibes as any typical college coed since she has learned how to school her expressions to some degree. However, there are times when a glance into her eyes can reveal both a keen intellect and edge of mischief that can be dangerous to the unsuspecting.
    Distinguishing Features: Shay has a birthmark in the shape of the symbol of the clan that killed her birth parents. It's on the back of her neck right at her hairline.
    Character Model: Nicole Mejia

    ~Indepth~

    What Do They Feed Off Of?: At this point in her life Shay feeds off of human food and does not require humans as a food source in order to survive. However, her abilities are addictive and using them causes her to feel the urge to do so again and again. She enjoys the feeling of power and control that manipulation brings. As Shay matures, gains power, and/or uses her ability with more frequency she will naturally begin to feed off of the very spark that pushes a person to do those things beyond simply surviving/their unique motivations, leaving them far more lethargic, apathetic, or prone to procrastination and the like. She is also fed by the emotions generated by fulfilling those tasks her victims are set to, generally leaving them feeling rather hollow with no sense of victory or accomplishment.

    Power(s):

    • Influence - A Seniatta can control inner motivations, humans being the easiest to manipulate. They require touch in order to influence the emotions of their victims. However, unlike the manipulative powers of other Fae, the influence a Seniatta exerts on someone can last quite a long time though duration is also dependent upon the will and power of victim. (Think of it like a compulsion though the source of it would be unknown unless the target is sufficiently powerful, or keenly observant and knowledgeable about the Fae.)
    Strengths:

    • Self-sufficient - She's not even quite sure how she does it, but Shay never seems to fall on hard times for long. She's quite good at looking out for herself, and while avoiding trouble altogether just doesn't seem to be possible, she is good at getting out of it.
    • Highly intuitive - She generally understands people on an instinctive level though she doesn't always want to. She is still very young and unpracticed but she can sense an individual's true motivations even without touch if she has enough time to study them.
    • Tinkering with machinery - Being around people can sometimes get her incredibly wired up. Being around machines and things is how she relaxes, how she levels out and regains her focus.
    • Athletic - she's not studied any form of self defense but she has exceptional balance and body control from swimming and gymnastics so she'd likely be a quick study if taught.
    Weaknesses:

    • No understanding of her power - Shay has no real understanding of what she is other than the fact that she's apparently a fae who can influence people.
    • Ignorant - Fae traditions, history, expectations... she's not really aware of much of it. She pledged herself to the dark because she felt she had to, because they found her first, but she's yet to be given the information she seeks.
    • Materialistic - Shay is instinctively drawn to things that will give her comfort and pleasure, even when danger also looms.
    • Desires connections - She tries to keep away from attachments but deep down she wants them, it is her truest motivation though she is blind to this fact.
    Personality:

    • Intelligent - Shay is sharp with a potent combination of book smarts and street smarts, that has kept her out of serious trouble thus far.
    • Observant - Growing up in New York has left it's mark on Shay. The most useful information is usually not what comes out of a persons mouth but rather all the stuff they don't tell you. It's in their body language, the way others around them react, the sounds that stop suddenly, or the sudden shiver you get up your spine.
    • Playful - Shay doesn't always feel like she fits in but perhaps as a defense mechanism, she has learned to simply enjoy what she can while it lasts. Rather than get too serious or connect too deeply, she maintains a playful and sometime elusive quality that often draws people in even while it keeps them at arms distance.
    • Impulsive - This is especially true when it comes to her powers. She's also a little bit of an adrenaline junky so that doesn't help her impulse control any.
    • Dauntless- Shay is rarely, if ever, motivated by fear for herself.
    • Loyal - A very un-dark trait she was told, but Shay sticks by those who earn her loyalty. Though doing so is not usually so easy.
    • Directionless - Shay has no real direction, no ultimate goal in life (that she is aware of). Right now it is as if she is waiting for a sign or to be pointed somewhere by someone.
    History: Shannon is the offspring of a Seniatta and an Akvan who spent much of their lives doing harm until they an a foul of the wrong clan and got themselves cursed. Their curse was to suffer just as much as those who they harmed going forward, their very actions turned back upon themselves, and thus a life of forced repentance was built. The two chaotic fae settled down and had a child out of boredom, and while they thought their life of will power fueled restraint should have earned them a gold star, the enemies they'd made previously did not think a couple years of 'time off' in any way equaled repentance. First Shannon's father was killed, the madness induced in him severe enough to drive him to step in front of a speeding train once the cries of his past victims became too much. Her mother was allowed to live in fear and paranoia for the next year as she withdrew from her life as a successful criminal attorney, but eventually she was gunned down by a hitman hired by one of the goons she'd sent to jail for life.

    Shannon's life was most certainly in jeopardy then as her parents' killers had every intention of doing away with her as well, however, because of the timely interference of a human couple who sacrificed much for a single wish, Shay was whisked away to live a life of blissful ignorance. She would never hear of her adoptive parents' sacrifice, or of the clock that loomed above their heads, but she did grow up in a fairly normal lower middle class world. At least until the day she turned 16 and their apartment building burned down.

    Only she and one other family managed to escape the blaze and Shay's escape was because she'd snuck out to meet a guy. Because of her miraculous timing and the lack of a solid alibi (the guy she'd met hadn't told anybody he was meeting her and they hadn't been seen by anyone) Shay was named as the top suspect in the arson and questioned rather roughly until suddenly the police seemed to just... forget about her. It was odd but one minute she was being hounded and followed to and from school, and the next... it was like nothing had ever happened. Except that her parents weren't coming back. It was of course her own abilities that began the process, as she'd willed the lead investigator to pursue other leads. This abrupt change alerted one of the fae imbedded in the NYPD and after a bit of an investigation they seemed to come to the right conclusion and drew the heat away from her to find the real culprit since other fae had died in the blaze.

    It was shortly after this that Shay would meet the figure responsible for her introduction to the fae world. After being taught about a few of the more basic laws and falsely led to believe she had no choice but to pledge herself to the dark, Shay found herself slowly returning to the routine of a normal life. She finished high school and started college on a full scholarship and has been slowly wandering her way aimlessly through the dark ever since.

    Connections:

    • Sponsor - Connection to the dark fae thus far. (role is open)
    • Serafina Rinaldi - Birth mother. Considered quite the force in her glory days. Deceased.
    • Dirk McKenna - Birth father. Brutish, chaotic, not generally thought to be very bright outside of his very particular skills in 'enforcement' but utterly inspired there. Deceased.
    • Nadia and Paulo Metaxas - Adoptive parents. Deceased.
    Likes: machines, parts, electronics, stuff she can take apart and fiddle with, people watching, staying in shape, bending the rules when it suits, enjoying herself, physical closeness
    Dislikes: having to worry, being caught, cages/bars, weird vegetables, liars, getting her hands dirty, early morning classes, her student advisor, being asked about her 'goals and aspirations' or the question: Where do you see yourself in X years?
    Fears&Phobias: She fears becoming someone she cannot recognize. Her darkest nightmares all involve her being alone with nothing and no one around. She's also not too fond of uncontrolled flames.
    O/Os: Shay is pansexual with no preference for one gender over another, it is generally personality traits and demeanor that attract her. She likes to play, preferring rough and/or sensual experiences for now since no one has managed to inspire any sort of romantic feelings in her, though that is open to change. She can easily top someone or bottom for them, it just depends on the individual. She typically engages in casual relationships, however she is open to something more permanent and even possessive be it monogamous or polyamorous. As long as it's not an off for the player, it can be discussed. Player O/Os are HERE

    ~BASICS~

    How Do They View Humans?: Humans are largely inferior beings who need more than a little guidance if they are ever to be anything more than the mess they are. Still, they are useful in some ways and hold the potential for more if they'd only open their eyes and minds.

    ~Appearance~
    Hair: Dark Brown
    Eyes: Dark Brown
    Height: 5'7"
    Physical Description: Nathalia is a striking woman of average height. Her build is deceptive in that it gives little to no hint to the true strength she wields, but is pleasantly curved and kept trim by both a high metabolism and her lifestyle. Her usual attire leans toward dark colors and practical styles suited to the world of security but she has been known to make the effort to highlight her femininity when it suits the occasion or when requested by certain individuals. She is fond of jewelry and usually is wearing at least one piece of high quality bling as it helps placate the part of her drawn to treasure.
    Distinguishing Features: She has a number of tattoos, mostly script and tribal, in various places that she adds to periodically.
    Character Model: Cleo Pires

    ~Indepth~

    What Do They Feed Off Of?: Flesh, particularly eyes and entrails, though she needn't feed often that way since she is also capable of feeding off of fear. Humans are her primary source but fae will also work. Animals can work in a pinch but won't last long. As a griffin she likes her prey alive and often hunts "bad" humans such as rapists, child molesters, abusers, and murderers and she has a habit of playing with her food.

    Power(s):
    Shape-shifting - She turns into a Griffin. A creature possessing the furred body of a lion with the feathered head and wings (fully functional) of an eagle. Her front legs appear to be a hybridization of a lions forepaws and an eagle's feet being large and furred but with deadly talons and toes capable of grabbing things. She is capable of both sets of vocalization as well as partial shifts that allow her the use of specific traits or features more completely while still in human form.

    Superhuman Senses (particularly sight, hearing, touch) - Her senses are exceptional, top notch among the fae really. Some would say her greatest asset is her eyesight as she can track small movements from a great range and pick up on minute details with exceptional accuracy, even in the dark. Her hearing is highly sensitive as well, as is her sense of touch. Her senses of smell and taste are only slightly above that of a human.

    Superhuman Reflexes, Speed, and Stamina- Nathalia is capable of reacting at speeds that might seem nearly instantaneous to a human and is graceful and agile in ways that mimic a bird in flight. Her ground speed is certainly above that of a human and is generally on par with most common predatory shifters however, her top flight speed easily out classes that. Her stamina directly correlates to how well fed she is but it too certainly exceeds that of a human.

    Enhanced Strength - She is stronger than even the most gifted human and even some species of fae, though she is not by any means the strongest.

    Superhuman Durability and Healing Factor - It takes quite a lot of damage to put her down and keep her down. Combine that with a healing rate that while not instantaneous is noticeably faster than a humans and she is a dangerous foe. Of course, healing lots of damage usually requires her to feed...

    Longevity - She is not immortal but she does appear to have stopped visibly aging and will live a very long time provided she doesn't get herself killed.

    Strengths:
    Hand to hand combat skills - Nathalia has trained in hand to hand techniques since she was a young girl. Her current style is a mix of several disciplines learned through the ages including the techniques of her own tribe as well as Capoeira (which is a favored style), Kickboxing, and Brazilian Jujitsu.

    Lie Detection - Through observation of a person's vitals, their face, body language, as well as the ability to pick up on small traces of forensic evidence she can generally detect deceit with alarming accuracy. This skill also allows her to anticipate trouble with those individuals who may be gearing up to attempt something foolish.

    Weapons proficiency - Not by any means a wiz with just any weapon but she is capable of efficiently using small blades and projectiles, bow and arrows, hand guns, and some military grade firearms. Her weapon of choice tends to be her own claws but she also favors a bow when it is practical. Due to her eye sight her marksmanship is top notch but she hates firearms.

    Programming & Hacking - A personal hobby that has turned out to be rather useful on occasion. She's not the worlds greatest but for researching and even tracing some attacks, she's gotten quite proficient.

    Weaknesses:
    Poor Swimmer - Perhaps because she is so thoroughly a creature of land and air, the sea has been closed to her? She can handle a pool or wading near to the shore line, but going any further would be a disaster.

    Self-Conscious of Griffin Form - Her childhood left her more than a bit self-conscious to the point that she hesitates to fully shift even when it is clearly the best option.

    Possessive Tendencies - Griffins are known for protecting treasures and those things regarded as precious. This trait is present in Nathalia and with it comes a slight possessive streak that can rear its head from time to time with those people and things she views as hers.

    A pair of strong, rough hands (male) / Alluring curves (women) - Nathalia has always had a healthy appreciation for sex (even while mated, they weren't a sexually monogamous pair) and can't seem to resist certain traits.

    Solitude - She has adjusted to modern living just fine but occasionally she needs to escape the press of humanity (and fae) as well as all the concrete and steel to just be alone and decompress.

    Children - Odd as it may seem to some, Nathalia actually loves children and they love her. She is a whole different person with them and will go to great lengths to protect a child in harm's way. She once imagined herself bearing her mate's child. He died before that could happen but some small part of her always pauses at the sight of a child.

    Superhuman senses - While she has enough control and precision to utilize her senses to the fullest, it is still possible--difficult but possible--to overwhelm them with an abundance of stimuli that can confuse, desensitize, or just outright cause a headache.

    Personality:
    Bold and Direct - Nathalia respects power but she will not be cowed by it. While she chooses her words carefully, she will say and do whatever she feels she must to make her point. Of course, she's also prone to skipping all the pointless chatter and simply acting.

    Particular - To the point of near OCD. Nathalia likes everything around her to be just so. She is a neat freak when it comes to her own spaces and has been known to clean/straighten/rearrange anywhere she is for more than a short time.

    Honorable - When Nathalia gives her word--and she is careful not to give it casually--she sticks by it, no matter how uncomfortable. To be forsworn or named oath breaker is worse than death.

    Thorough - In everything she does, the woman makes sure she doesn't cut corners. She takes the time to do her homework, is observant, and keeps notes on everything (coded). Some risk can't be avoided but she likes to be prepared and one never knows when something will come in handy.

    Practical - Some might call her ruthless or even blood thirsty but they'd be wrong. The griffin is just extremely practical when it comes to serious matters, often opting for the surest route to success even if it means going straight through someone. She is capable of mercy and of giving chances where warranted but sometimes the only way to be sure an obstacle is no longer an issue is to wipe it out entirely. She takes her job very seriously.

    Patient - She can wait a very long time to achieve what she wants.

    Closed Off - Since the death of her mate, Thalia has kept part of herself closed off from everyone in the hopes of avoiding ever feeling pain like that again. The once openly playful and affectionate woman now believes herself incapable of love or deeper connections and while she will 'make friends' or play nice, she avoids any true intimacy that might open her up again.

    Haughty - Thalia is a proud and regal creature and as such she is often found watching others with an expression that suggests they are somehow beneath her. She hates to admit when she is wrong and apologies often need to be pried from her lips if they come at all.

    Passionate - Being closed off does not mean that Nathalia is truly dead inside, no matter how she might at times wish she was. She is still an intense and passionate woman, something that tends to bleed through, especially when she is relaxed or actively enjoying something.

    History: Nathalia was born in what is now known as Brazil in a time before written record (672 AD). Her mother, a beautiful and beloved Fae woman, a rare thunderbird, was claimed as a spoil of war between the tribes and taken as a wife by a foul and most wicked male griffin. He coveted the woman both because she was beautiful and because her people would willing follow, but also because she possessed the one thing that nature had cruelly withheld from him: wings. For a time it seemed as if her mother managed to rub off on her father, easing him, gentling him toward the people and keeping them in a time of peace for a short while until she finally bore him a child. A daughter. A disappointment.

    Bound by traditions and customs that even he could not ignore, he could not get rid of the burden he felt his daughter to be. Instead he pushed her, forced her into the role he would have asked of a son, showing no mercy. At first it seemed she would break, especially after an incident that nearly saw her drowned in the great Amazon, but she did not. Nathalia was resilient and determined to make her father proud but following her rites of passage into womanhood (her gathering) she learned that it would never be. He would always be envious of her wings and hate her for possessing what he did not but there was nothing to be done for it. Not even her mother could temper him and in his hatred he made sure that Nathalia paid the price for nature's gift.

    Eventually, Nathalia would flee her father's reach, heading north and dodging rival tribes who would have used her for a bargaining chip had they caught her. She lived a solitary existence, picking off those who dared to forcefully pursue the unknown creature that stalked the rain forest, encouraging the fearful stories that began to circulate. Soon there grew to be those that worshiped her as an incarnation of a non-existent goddess. She tried to reject them and yet, their sacrifices proved difficult to ignore, as did their pathetic cries for help. Nathalia had no illusions of setting herself up as anything all powerful but the more the people's confidence in her grew, the more she felt obligated to protect and shelter them. Particularly those who sought her as an answer to the darkness that her father had become. She could not abide by the gluttonous waste and terror that accompanied her father's rule.

    It would take centuries for Nathalia to amass power enough to try and rival her wingless foe. In that time great tribes emerged and flourished, only to perish under the shadow of the evil that hovered above them, feeding off them and taking anything of value for himself. Her people, the ones that worshiped her and those Fae that drifted to her side, grew until an allied network of tribes rose up to combat the tide of rising dark. It was during this time that the griffin was to face her own challenge, one that could not be handled by simply walking away or turning to others. No, it was her very nature that she was forced to fight as her Dawning approached and attempted to drag her down to something lesser. Without assistance, her Dawning was as great a trial as anything she would ever face and expecting the worst, the woman retreated to a secluded cave and took refuge there away from those who might accidentally suffer at her hands.

    To this very day, Nathalia cannot recall exactly what happened during her Dawning, only that the blood, sweat, and tears she shed during her trials were all worth it in the end as she emerged empowered and renewed. Following the feast to celebrate her re-emergence she did not hesitate to rally a small group of Fae supporters to help her invade her father's tribe and steal away the one thing she treasured most: Her mother. A true queen to rule the opposing forces, with Nathalia at her side as her protector and champion.

    War was inevitable after that. However, it was not the all out bloody clash and waste of humans. It was subtle, almost an art. Each side scheming, plotting, working to undermine the other in the most resolute ways and seeking to reign over the various tribes that surrounded them. It wasn't until the Strangers (the Portuguese) arrived that each side, both light and dark as they now were, agreed to a truce of sorts that would begin an uneasy peace. But not before the tide of blood spilled over.

    The history books will tell you that a large number of natives died following the arrival of the Portuguese to their shores in 1500 due to the diseases brought with them. What they will not tell you is that the war between opposing factions of the Fae claimed just as many, if not more, including both Nathalia's mother and father. Soon both tribes found themselves pressed into war with neighboring tribes and floundering in the absence of true leaders since her father had fled after killing her mother during a secret meet that he had orchestrated. She never did understand what drove him to leave since the victory should have been an accomplishment for him but nevertheless, Nathalia vowed to get her revenge. Her mother had wanted to call a truce on all sides, to stem the flow of life, but her father would hear none of it. He rejected her offers of peace every time and drove more and more to their deaths in a pointless war before he disappeared and another rose to claim his place.

    The serpent that took over the darkling tribe as The Curare was no better than his predecessor. He agreed to the truce but war continued and the temporarily united tribes were pushed to repel the strangers from their land. A task that was found to be much more difficult as more strangers arrived and among them were Fae that had come to explore new lands. Upon finding other Fae already inhabited the land they fought back in an attempt to 'civilize them' as they claimed in their strange tongue. It was among these explorers that Nathalia would first meet the man that would later become her mate, as well as his honor-less brother, in an almost literal clash of weapons that somehow seemed more like foreplay than an actual fight. Neither would truly win the fight though she did give him a rather distinct set of scars that he later claimed had gotten him more action than he could handle as he'd gone from merely beautiful to rugged and dangerous. She'd have liked to say he was exaggerating but having seen the bacchus in action she'd known he was telling the truth.

    Eventually the overt clashes with humans died down and with both sides finding their footing among the colonization of the land and seeking to gain their own footholds in this new way, Nathalia found her attention wandering to the whereabouts of her father. He had not been seen since that fateful night but Nathalia had made a vow and she'd intended to keep it. With nothing more to tie her to the place, Nathalia left her home in the early 1600's in search of her mother's killer and would not return Brazil again for quite some time.

    Her travels would take her north. As a woman traveling alone she quickly learned that it was easiest to stick to the open wilderness, though she did occasionally offer her services as a mercenary and bounty hunter of sorts in exchange for information about her father. In colonial America in the 1700's she would again encounter the bacchus known as Augustus and the two would enjoy a brief but intense affair before she moved on. Their paths would cross several more times in the next decade or two, each time seeing them become more entangled and each time Nathalia finding it harder to leave him. Finally the pair met again in the late 1830's in the West where she had taken up a position working for one of the new Fae leaders in the new frontier. Mercenary work was rather plentiful in an environment where a stroke of luck could make or break a man and she had plenty to occupy her and keep her in place.  Augustus seized his chance then and coaxed the griffin into becoming his wife despite the appetites he harbored.

    Nathalia found happiness there in California and the arms of her mate but she never relinquished her quest to track down her father. Perhaps she'd have been smart to but she'd made a vow and breaking it would simply not do. Old fashioned thought gave way to more modern attitudes and Nathalia began to establish herself a little more visibly, making use of the contacts she had made throughout her years traveling to close in on her father's whereabouts. It wasn't until the later years of the gold rush that she managed to get close to the man, closing in so tightly that he manipulated Augustus' own brother into killing him--to get his hands on the fortune her mate had begun amassing due to sound investments--to throw her off. And it worked, the loss of her mate throwing her into a grief stricken rampage that caused perhaps more trouble than it was worth.

    Then again, she does possess the skull of Augustus' killer, his brother Julius, to this very day. She still doesn't yet have her father's but she has not forgotten her vow--even if it must take a back seat these days--and she has most certainly learned from her past mistakes. Something that is reflected in her work. Needing a change of scenery, Nathalia moved to the East coast permanently in the 1860's. She has not been back to California since leaving and has only been back to Brazil very recently. She wasn't very impressed with the Fae there but perhaps that is because she is still not very fond of serpents. Not that she mentions that to the dragon she now helps to guard.

    Connections: OPEN
    Augustus Aurelius - Bacchus, Light - Deceased Mate. Killed by his brother.
    Julius Aurelius - Bacchus, Dark - Deceased brother of her mate. Hunted and killed by her. Only his skull remains.
    Oliviana - Thunderbird, Light - Deceased Mother. Believed to have been killed by her father.
    Rodrigo Santiago - Griffin (wingless), Dark - Father. Alive and avoiding his daughter.
    The Curare - Serpent, Dark - Leader of Dark Fae in Brazil.

    Edward Vadderung - Ice Dragon, Light Elder - Leader, Employer, Responsibility. Slight pain in the ass.
    Kuriyama Miho - Bakeneko, Light - ...


    Likes: Cooking (and eating), dancing, warm nights, sun bathing nude, rainstorms, the view from up high, music of various types, bright colors, painting, fruit--the juicier the better.
    Dislikes: Being seen in full Griffin form (self-conscious), lemons, coconut, being touched without invitation (she's very sensitive to touch), too much clothing, the cold, the uninvited in her home, Serpents, being cooped up in man-made flying contraptions despite being a licensed pilot (for emergencies only!).
    Fears&Phobias: She has a deep seated fear of deep and/or rapid moving water due to an accident when she was a child.
    O/Os: Raised to believe that Griffin's mate for life (may or may not be true), Nathalia believes her heart died with her mate. Sex is still fun and enjoyable but that's all it is, a good time.
    Sharing food--like having someone cook for her or even feeding someone or being fed from someone's fork--is a serious turn on for her, as is dancing, sparring/working out, and blindfolds. Fast or slow, rough or gentle, she's very sensual. She'll fight you for control but loves to be pinned. Anything that is not a player off (found here) is open for discussion.

    Physical Description: Cafe au lait skin
    Character Model: Kat Graham


    ~Indepth~


    What Do They Feed Off Of: She feeds off of human emotions but she gets the most nourishment from fear, anxiety, confusion, panic and despair.

    Power(s): She can influence people’s motivations with a simple touch. Her influence can last hours after she has touched them but she is working on it so that it lasts longer.

    Strengths: Good at knowing when someone needs something before they ask for it, intelligent, levelheaded in a crisis

    Weakness: Hands (if her hands are covered with any sort of material she can’t use her power on others) she cannot influence those that are happy, not good with people, not the best fighter (hopes to start training to fight)

    Personality:

    Self obsessed – Anaïs is selfish. Growing up without any real friends or siblings, she never learned to care or worry about others. The only people around her were servants (who were beneath her) and her father (whom she hated). She never really had anyone she cared about other than herself. Even now she finds it hard to care about anyone other than herself.

    Vindictive – If you hurt her or cross her Anaïs will do all that she can to make sure that you learn never to cross her again. This trait has not won her many friends but it has established her as one to be respected among her peers.

    Shallow – Anaïs rarely bothers to understand people on a deep level. She will make a judgement about you in the first few moments of meeting you and that impression will stick. First impressions for her are everything. If she doesn’t deem you to be suitable then she won’t bother getting to know you any further.

    Judgemental – Anaïs judges people, often harshly, and she believes it is her right to do so.

    Cruel – She enjoys causing others pain. She enjoys exerting her powers on those that she deems are below her. As a child she would often terrorize the servants in her home as a form of amusement. Once her maid had made the mistake of giving her a cup of tea that was a few degrees lower than the ideal temperature. Anaïs threw the entire cup of scalding tea at the cowering girl demanding another cup of tea.

    Cold – Anaïs grew up in an isolated environment. Her father gave her no affection. He never told her that he loved her or that he was proud of her. Being affectionate and warm is completely foreign to her.

    Loyal – She can be extremely loyal once you gain her respect (though it isn’t easy)


    History:

    Anaïs is the product of a fling between a French dark fae Seniatta and a Senegalese dark fae Oracle. Her parents met when her father went on a trip to the West African nation. Her mother died during childbirth so her father took her back with him to Marseille in Southern France. Growing up in the late 1700s as a woman of colour, her father felt it proficient to hide her from society. Of course not an issue for the fae community (skin color did not matter to them) but more for the humans that surrounded them. A ‘mulatto’ wasn’t too rare a sight in France but there was still a lot of prejudice.

    So began Anaïs’s lonely upbringing in her father’s estate. She wanted for nothing, except for love and warmth, the two things she would never get from her father. Anaïs simply learned to live without it and instead enjoyed having complete control of a house full of servants whom she often terrorized with tantrums, insults, and physical abuse. Her servants fear and frustration provided her with the most sustenance. Her father didn’t care what she did as long as she excelled in her studies.

    She had a governess that taught her lessons in the classics (Latin, Greek, poetry, literature), music, and dance. Since there was no lady of the house to handle the affairs of the estate her governess taught her how to organize the household and make sure that everything ran smoothly.  Her father is a powerful Seniatta and he personally saw to her magical training. He expected nothing but the best from his daughter. Her father never praised her for her triumphs in their lessons but he would punish her if she got anything wrong either rapping her knuckles with a stick or hurling insults at her. She remembered clearly one day when she had finally been able to convince the maid to pour a bucket of ice water on herself, her father had nodded. He had finally acknowledged her achievements. Although she would never admit it, it is a memory that Anaïs cherishes.

    Once her father deemed her training and education complete, Anaïs was able to come and go as she wished, until it was time to begin training for her Dawning. At the young age of a hundred she left Marseille and went to Dakar, Senegal to reacquaint herself with her Senegalese heritage. While there she tried to learn as much as she could of West African magic and folklore.

    Anaïs spent as much time as she could traveling. Her world up until that point had consisted of her childhood home and she wished to learn more about the world around her. She travelled throughout Africa, Asia, South America, and Europe learning as much as she could about the fae, magic, and folklore of each country she visited. She was gone for decades before finally returning to Marseille for her Dawning training.

    Her father handled some of her training but he also hired another fae that was specialized in this area. It was a grueling process. Her trainer stressed the need to make peace with her father. She ignored her trainer, saying that she had no issue with her father. This of course was false but Anaïs didn’t really feel like having a heart to heart with her trainer about her relationship with her father. After completed her training Anaïs thought she was ready. Unfortunately she wasn’t ready. She was forced to listen to her Dawning trainer and confront her father.

    It was one of the most difficult thing that she had to do. She told her father exactly how she felt; that he neglected her emotionally, that he had abused her emotionally. Her father countered saying that he gave her the best of everything. Growing up he hadn’t had anyone to train him and teach him how to control his powers. He had never had anyone to protect him and that everything he had now he had acquired on his own. As a father he did the best he could for his child by making her strong and resilient. Everything he had done was for her benefit. To her shock Anaïs broke down apologizing to her father. She still didn’t agree with his methods and she still disliked him but it was true. She wouldn’t be the woman she was today without her father. She owed him everything.

    Having made peace with her father Anaïs was finally ready for the Dawning. Entering successfully through the doorway she received her invitation to the Temple. The Dawning the most grueling thing she had ever gone through. She was forced to witness the worst parts of herself. She was made to confront every hard truth about herself, even the ones she had never known were inside her. By the time Anaïs made it to the other side she knew more about herself that she had ever before, and she embraced it. She was at peace with herself.

    After passing her Dawning Anaïs decided it was time for her to move on and begin a life of her own. So she made her way to New York City. She had never been to North America but it would be an interesting experience.

    She still has a tumultuous relationship with her father and because of that she rarely visits her hometown even though she misses the beaches and the weather. It is obligatory that she visit him every few decades. Her father is getting old and could die very soon and Anaïs can’t decide whether she’s dreading it or looking forward to it.


    Connections:

    François Desjardins - Father
    Joséphine Sambou (deceased) - Mother
    Vivian – her employer
    Shay – possible protege

    Likes: designer brands, make-up, fashion magazines, macaroons, the beach
    Dislikes: unattractive people, humans who don’t know their place, overly nice people, strangers who presume they can simply start a conversation with her
    Fears & Phobias Being controlled (i.e. mind control, potions, meren, etc.), falling in love
    O/Os: Anaïs is not interested in relationships or getting to know her sexual partners on a 'deeper level'. She's there to gave fun and then they go their separate ways. She often prefers not to linger after sex. She tends to be more attracted towards men but she has slept with women and has enjoyed it. She likes things to get rough and isn't  opposed to some light bondage.

    ~BASICS~

    Name: Kennet Ahlgren
    Age: 114
    Species: Raven (shapeshifter)
    Alignment: Dark
    Occupation: Private Detective/occasional corporate espionage
    Role Within the Fae Community: none in particular
    Education: Given how important computers are in the current information age, Kennet frequently takes classes to keep his computer skills honed, has no completed degrees but has been none to take a class or two when he needs to know how to do something or needs more knowledge about a subject
    Hobbies: jewelry making (it calms him and he likes making the pretties though he tends to keep his best pieces for himself), computer gaming

    How Do They View Humans?: Often entertaining opportunities

    ~Appearance~
    Hair: Red
    Eyes: Black (they pass for really dark brown when in human form)
    Height: 6'3"
    Physical Description: Kennet is tall at 6'2" and rangy, with broad shoulders but otherwise a fairly light build. His most distinguishing feature is his long, bright golden-red hair which he generally wears loose followed by his dark eyes which always have a bit of a bird-like quality even in his human form. He is fairly relaxed in his appearance, some days he may be sporting stubble and other days not, and he tends to dress in black most of the time though he may occasionally show up in white just because. There is a quickness to the way he moves, as if his reflexes are always on the verge of fight or flight, even when he's relaxed.
    Distinguishing Features: Tattoo of a raven with outstretched wings on his back when in human form
    Character Model: Danila Polyakov

    ~In depth~

    What Do They Feed Off Of?: Secrets and information, whether gathering or revealing it, the greater the impact of the information, the more sustenance he receives from it. For instance, discovering that someone's favorite color is blue would be relatively little nourishment -- discovering someone has snuck dirty nukes into the city would keep him full for quite some time.

    Power(s): Can take the form of a large raven, can travel to other planes (or transport others there) via black smoke they generate, has exceptional eyesight and reflexes even in human form
    Note: The black smoke that allows travel between planes is not innate but as a result of some spell or substance known only to the Ravens.

    Strengths:
    -- Combat: Is skilled at hand-to-hand combat though he is most likely to try to avoid physical conflict than pursue it. Proficient with dual axes and has weapons that are charmed to stay with him through changes of form.
    -- Personable: Though no extrovert, he's learned how to talk to people and get a good response, the simplest and quickest way to get information. When he puts his mind to it, he's fairly good at manipulating your average person into spilling his/her guts.

    Weaknesses:
    -- Distractible: He can be caused to lose focus momentarily at times with this lure of other information or secrets to be discovered. In addition he is so keenly aware of his environment that sometimes his attention can get pulled to something small that most people would find easy to ignore.
    -- Flockless: Ravens in general are much more efficient working in a flock but he has declined to join another flock after leaving his family and so has no back-up and no assistance when pursuing his secrets.


    Personality:
    Secretive: As information is his stock, trade, and sustenance, he is never forthcoming, even frequently about simple matters that most people wouldn't think twice about sharing. This can make conversation with Kennet a lesson in patience sometimes. He generally reveals information only at a time of his choosing or when there is direct profit to him.

    Possessive: When it comes to things or even other people, once he feels something belongs to him he becomes very defensive about holding onto it. It's why though he makes a pretty good living, he doesn't flaunt how much he has but prefers to horde it away which is why few will ever be invited into his home.

    Impassive: It's hard to get a rise out of Kennet as he tends to keep his cards close to his vest. He's seen all manner of things in his life and so is hard to shock. It takes a lot to prod him into a display of emotion.

    Solitary: Ever since he decided to forego the flock, Kennet has mostly kept to himself beyond the occasional hook-up. He's been burned by some ties in the past so for now is going it alone. He also has been moving from city to city every few years and so hasn't had a chance to make many new friends anyway.

    Perceptive: Whether physically or mentally, not much escapes this raven's notice. Whether it's spotting something in his environment or reading people, he gathers a lot of information just by keeping his eyes open.

    Clever: Kennet is a smart guy but more specifically, he's good at thinking on his feet and coming up with ingenious solutions to things.

    History: Kennet was born in rural Sweden in 1900 into a large family of dark fae ravens so his course was pretty much set from birth. Kennet was brought early into the 'family business' so by World War I, he was already out in the field with the rest of the flock albeit in a tertiary role. He was generally seen as a promising raven, there were many expectations upon him, and WW I was definitely a terrible time for humanity but an excellent time for raves who made a fortune and kept themselves well fed playing both sides of the military secrets game. During the brief interlude between wars when the flock was primarily just enjoying the spoils of war, Kennet fell in love with another young raven, a lovely young woman by the way of Annika and the two became engaged in a passionate affair.

    War called again. With the advent of WW II the flock went into action again. Competition from other flocks, light and dark, was high and quickly created a raven-eat-raven environment. Kennet became increasingly discontent and eventually left the flock, an action that caused a rift between the two young lovers as Annika was still very much devoted to the flock. Alone and aimless for the moment, Kennet came across an attractive woman by the name of Serafina Rinaldi with whom he became briefly infatuated, not realizing she was a seniatta and was using her wiles on him. She eventually influenced him to make an information exchange that happened to interfere with an operation that his former flock was carrying out  and as a result they found themselves ambushed and ion the operation, Annika was killed. Serafina made sure it would trace back to Kennet so the flock came after him and he spent the next several weeks on the run during which he figured out just what Serafina was and what she had  made him do. In time the flock learned about her role in it as well and they shifted their focus to finding her but she was long gone. The flock gave up its vendetta against Kennet but he wasn't exactly welcomed back so with the end of the war, Kennet moved on to the United States to start over there.

    He has since worked as a singular agent. The cold war proved a prosperous time as well, and it allowed Kennet to build up his bank account but of course, it was never just about the money. He's been a bit of a ghost among most fae communities he was a part of, largely just concerning himself with his own affairs and trying to stay away from court politics. Throughout this time Kennet continued to attempt to find Serafina but before he succeeded, he got word that she was dead so it remained unresolved for him. He still has a distaste for seniattas to this day.

    Recent history has seen him moving from city to city every few years just to keep things fresh. He primarily just takes human contracts from simple PI cases like cheating husbands to more serious corporate espionage. He only very rarely accepts contracts from other fae though he can occasionally be swayed to do so if the price is right. He has just moved to New York and is in the process of setting up an office so he has yet to make any connections here.

    Connections: to be determined locally, various family members still in Europe

    Likes: a good tail wind, indiscretion in others, shiny things, listening to people recount memories, his hair.
    Dislikes: People interfering in his business, Seniattas, those dumb Thor movies, loud music, formal court matters
    Fears & Phobias: Betrayal, being magically influenced or controlled
    O/Os: My On/Offs, Kennet in general likes variety in the bedroom, anything to keep him from getting bored (while following the guidelines of my offs).

    Distinguishing Features: His smile
    Character Model: Michael B Jordan

    ~Indepth~

    What Do They Feed Off Of?: Frivolity and celebration - As long as there is a party, he will never go hungry. His clubs are a constant source of sustenance, income and information for him and his allies.

    Power(s): Madness - Has the power to induce madness, the degree of madness varying from person to person (Insanity, Dementia, etc).

    Revelry - Gannicus can appear anywhere a party is held and can easily improve/kick it up a level. He is a living party monster.

    Strengths: The Gift of Gab - He knows how to win over a crowd even if he has his own doubts.

    Enterprising - Gannicus wanted nothing from his father when he left home to make his own path. He is a proud owner of all that is his. In times of need, he can focus and  achieve his goals to secure his way of living.

    Weaknesses: Distractible - Some of the best parties can really distract a person. In the heat of a moment, Gannicus might become distracted and be forced to face the consequences later.

    Cocky - Gannicus believes he can talk or charm himself out of any situation. Most of the time he is right, when he isn't, he might grow a little concerned.

    Personality: Charismatic - Gannicus knows how to win over a single person or a crowd, he is a firm believer in the saying: "You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar."

    Hedonistic - Like their great ancestor, The First Born (Dionysus himself). Gannicus is a hedonist. The most important thing in life is indulging pleasure of the mind, body and soul.

    0ptimist - Life is a party, why sweat the small stuff? Even as the empire his family loved fell, or the world was pulled into a war, no big deal let's drink. He loves life and can spin (mostly) everything into a positive light.

    Single Minded (Negative) - When life is your playground, it can be easy to lose sight of bigger things all around you. "Whey miss a friend when you can make three more at the next party? People died, a funeral, no thanks, I will be at the Emmy's that weekend."

    Deceptive (Negative) - Celebrations and parties were what the Aurelius family used to climb the social ladder and establish themselves for generations to come. Deception is part of who they are, their goals sometimes taking priority over pleasures.

    Ambitious (Neutral) - Gannicus wants to prove himself to his father. It is the task of every generation to grow the name in one way or another. Gannicus wants to be famous and well known, he wants to see celebrities drinking his wine and attending his parties.



    History: Life for Gannicus began in the fields of Tuscany, Italy. His youth was spent running around with his numerous cousins, exploring the woods, getting into trouble and everything else in between for Fae children his age. As his powers manifested, he was taught to control them by his father and uncles. It was a struggle to control the constant urge/hunger to party or overindulge. Teaching a natural hedonist a semblance of control and discipline took a lot of time but he succeeded in after a century.

    Feeling he was ready to branch out on his own, Gannicus told his father of his desire to travel the world. Before he was permitted to leave, he was given the "option" to choose a side. Like most Aurelius family members, he pledged to the dark and his parents were pleased with his decision. With his loyalties made, his father began arrangements for his son's dawning. Trajan's connections were passed to his son, anywhere he went, he had a network to guide him as needed.

    Gannicus world tour ended on the east coast in the early 1900's. He opened his first club in New York City which catered exclusively to the Fae, later it was opened to humans as well. The club turned into a speakeasy during the time of Prohibition. Those were great times, a few more clubs were acquired during that time, locations he still owns. Things became hard as the stock market crashed and the depression forced him to close some places down until it passed over. The second great inspired him to reinvent what he knew, since then he began to keep a closer eye on trends and the importance of celebrities and their value.

    His dawning took priority in the 60's, but he succeeded after facing some of the demons his father had warned and prepared him about. One of the demons was his own father, that was one of the hardest rites to overcome. The second hardest was having to cope with the death of his uncles and the division that it created within the family, having to witness them all killing one another nearly drove him insane. After the rite was passed he visited his family back home for a decade before he returned to work back in NYC.

    Currently he continues to work in NYC, keeping up to date with the trends in the city. In the past decade he has opened and invested in wine bars and other niche markets that cater to different clientele. The majority of his time is spent at a lounge with the vintage feel of the speakeasy days. Below that lounge there are more interesting attractions but you need to know a password. A strip club has also opened, a high class place that caters to the wealthier clients (Fae and Human) of the city.

    Connections: Family/Friends/Etc


    Trajan
    Tiberius Aurelius

    Alyona Aurelius

    House Aurelius

    House Aurelius dates back to Etruria, Lands in Italy whose culture would later be absorbed by the Romans in to their very own. It was this house that introduced the Bacchanalia to Rome and used this event to raise its own influence within both Fae and human society. Political arrangements, blackmail and coercion were common as debauchery and revelry at these gatherings. No one seemed the wiser as the Aurelius family grew in power, at one point an Aurelius sat as Emperor to the Empire. The noble family settled across the empire in positions of power, leisure and wealth, always paying homage to Dionysus himself.

    House Aurelius is one of the five founding families that became the "Dark" fae in Europe. Similar to the Clan's of the light, the Houses that founded the dark would later migrate to the United States and their influence would spread worldwide. While most Aurelius males tend to be Bacchus, there have been a few born into the family of different species 

    House Aurelius continues to operate mostly out of Italy, operating business closely associated to their skill set (Wineries, clubs, etc). Few members have established businesses in other countries, such as Trajan's son Gannicus who has been working out of the East Coast in the US for a few centuries.

    Members

    Patriarch - Trajan Tiberius Aurelius, current and oldest member of the family. He recalls the empire at its height and took great pride in in being part of it all. He has retired to a villa in Tuscany and has left most of the family business to the various members of the family.

    Alyona Aurelius - The favored lover of Trajan, he made her his bride and the sole mother to his children. The water nymph spends her days in the rivers and pools she insisted upon once the couple retired in Tuscany. She is away often to pester her children.

    Augustus Aurelius - Trajan's brother, he surprised the family by pledging to the Light and more when they learned of his "harpy" mate. Once their father passed, Trajan set out to mend the estranged relationship between brothers, unaware of what was transpiring. Upon learning of his death, by his other brother Julius, he struggled to accept his passing but eventually coped with the loss. Trajan has sworn to help Nathalia find her father to avenge his brother.

    Julius Aurelius - Bacchus, Dark, Deceased. Killed by Nathalia after he was tricked into slaying his own brother for his fortune. Nathalia's father (The manipulator) remains alive but has not been seen for centuries.

    Likes: Wine, Gourmet Food, Music, Theater, Literature, Parties, Celebrities, Gossip, Political games and schemes
    Dislikes: Labor, Drama, Stress, Body Odor, Glitter (It gets everywhere!), Bad sound systems
    Fears&Phobias: Moments of Clarity - Even in the most crowded room a person can feel alone. It is a fear his father has spoken about, reasons he had a family and "cut back" on the partying life. Indulging on the revelry is fun but at some point a person grows tired of that. Gannicus is afraid of moments like those, sometimes trying to ignore them and hoping he can get right back into the party!
    O/Os: A hedonist at heart, he seeks pleasure in the many gorgeous forms of the female body. Men do not interest them but he does appreciate the form, even indulging in playing voyeur and watching them. Receiving is his main focus but he also enjoys giving it as well. His mood varies, sometimes he likes a long passionate night, other times a quick romp, once in a while he dust of the leather cuffs and chains.

    Hobbies: rescuing damsels in distress(yes a guy can be a damsel:P), sword fighting, preforming, music of all kinds, adventure, painting/sketching (let me paint you like one of my french girls )

    How Do They View Humans?: Nice distractions from time to time, have trouble keeping up, but taste sweet at times. Easy to manipulate or play with, but she doesn't out right try to harm them. Their like children that think they know best when really they have no idea what they could be getting into.

    ~Appearance~
    Hair:Black Curly
    Eyes:Hazel
    Height:5'8
    Physical Description: Diana seems to have an aura of sexy that surrounds her, her honey toned skin and wild untamed curls only added to her unforgettable look. She has several tattoos one that includes a series of leopard spots that trail down her back.
    Distinguishing Features: Tattoo's (see pictures)
    Character Model:
    Rafaela Avidago
    ~Indepth~

    What Do They Feed Off Of?: Diana feeds off the memories that she evokes from the people she sings too. It is the emotional energy that comes with the memory. She does not take the memories(unless using her abilities to do this).

    Power(s):

    Memory recall:Diana is able to use her voice to have her target audience recall memories. These memories come into full focus as if living them again.

    Forgetting: Diana has the ability to sing so beautifully that all who hear forget everything else and pause to listen to the music. Entire battles have come to a halt because of her singing. This ability can be used when focused to cause a person to forget a certain memory.

    Play the body like a song:

    Diana's voice as most Alkonost can bring forth pain in those that hear her voice, even so far as pushing them towards death. But with a great deal of training she has learned to make this gift something more positive, and all together interesting. She is able to sing and evoke certain physical responses within her audience’s bodies. (IE becoming aroused, inducing the bodies healing factor (speeding it up)feeling that state of panic within your body, the physical reactions to certain emotions)

    Strengths:
    Her voice: With or without her powers Diana's voice has always been a thing of beauty in any of the romance languages she knows.

    Social butterfly:
    Diana has never fit into one particular spot or another. She has spent time with the ruffians that most avoid, and the upper class that some can only dream of. Her ability to fit in anywhere has gotten her far in life, the charming demeanor and open views have led to a great many interesting encounters.

    Blades/ Fighting styles: Diana has become a master of most any blade, in her hand they become weapons of art as well as pain. These skills have been fine tuned through her many years of training.  Diana has over the years learned several different styles, though after time they have all come together with her sword play to be something very much her own.


    Seduction and Sex:
    Diana is not a woman to shy away from what she wants. Men, woman, both at the same time whatever the combination she embraces it and has found herself quite the seductress as the time passed.

    Weaknesses:
    Lust: Diana has been known to let her physical craves get her into some rather interesting situations. She does not deny her love of making love, after all why hate something that feels so wonderful?[/b]

    Her voice: If someone were to take away her ability to speak she would not be able to use her powers.

    Personality:
    Strong willed: Diana has always had an unshakable will, not even when the highest of society looked down upon her did she bend to their demands. She was a woman of invention, achievement, and daring deeds that still get spoke about today.

    Honorable:
    Diana lives by an honor code all her own. Started by her father and molded to what he lives by today. Granted being a dark fae means that honor code can be a bit unconventional at times.

    Passionate: Diana is no stranger to passion and at times a slave to it. But it is something that burns brightly within her to this day.

    Confident:
    To live the way she has you have to be confident. No shy wall flower would ever accomplish what she has in life. Though this confidence boarders on cockiness, it has gotten her through a great many sticky situations.

    Brash: Diana is not one to coddle someone. If you can't handle the truth or being confronted about something then don't speak with her. Diana is never one to hold back when something needs to be said, and yes this has lead to very interesting moments.

    Cocky: Diana has over the years become rather sure of herself and her skills. She does not shy away from a challenge and refuses to acknowledge she can't until it is normally to late to regret it.

    History(its a long one)
    Dianaica was born in 1015 AD; the name came from her mother as she believed it sounded beautiful and almost goddess like. Her father a warrior of renown and her mother was his lover turned wife once she became pregnant. The world a much wilder place back then allowed Dianaica to embrace he curious nature and need for adventure. The world still so young and in the process of changing, kings still fighting over lands and dividing and changing them left people trying to struggle and find footing within their given sides. But Dianaica grew up knowing love and a passion for life that her father always lived by.

    Once old enough Dianaica began to explore not only her powers but more of the world as well, living within the much wilder fae community of the age, she learned to enjoy the good things in life. Her world was filled with love, passion, desire, music, reverie, and countless other moments that only added to her untamed nature. It was a wonder she didn't get into more trouble over time. Learning to fight, standing against the normal social standings of a woman and following her own Honor code. In all honesty her father couldn't be more proud.

    Once her dawning past Dianaica chose to leave her homeland and find her personal path in life. Decades past with her popping up throughout history, outlandish stories spread.  In later years Dianaica slowly began to work her way through the different realms of society. Arriving in France in the 1600's, taking on the name Diana D'Aubigny and making a deal with an older man, he would say he was his daughter as a way to account for her history and mysterious appearance. And she would take care of all of his debts and keep him up while she stayed with him.

    She lived a life of privilege and title that meant she could live for a long with barely lifting a finger as a member of high society. She could have spent her days with her chosen husband without having to fight or struggle for anything in her life. But that was not something she could see herself doing for the rest of her life. Her "father"(the man appearing as such to the human world) was the Commander within the Army of France; this meant that he was the man responsible for the training of the King's guard.

    The unconventional relationship allowed her to learn a great many new skills. This man taught her the finer points of swordsmanship and gave her the ability to stand on her own in most any situation. She was taught as he taught his soldiers (she picked up a few pointers from his soldiers as well), showing her the finer point of what he thought the necessary life skills such as horseback riding, drinking excessively, gambling, fist fighting, avenging you honor, and how to handle most any blade with a great deal of mastery.

    Diana's grand life of adventure and boldness seemed to continue. The human world around her believing she was just a young regretfully unmarried woman. In truth Diana was as always herself. She was a wild and untamable woman sleeping with whom she wished and causing a great deal of trouble. She has even gone as far as having an affair with one of her "father's" comrades. The young Mademoiselle D'Aubigny soon proved too much for the older man. Her wild nature soon became too scandalous for even her father. So he saw to marring her off to a nearly spineless man named Monsoir Maupin hoping her new role as a wife would calm her down enough to start a family.

    Maupin was a count and lived in one of the smaller colonies across the sea which meant he very rarely spent time in France. Diana refused to leave her home only to be stranded in the middle of nowhere with a man she could not stand. So the two rarely saw each other, in fact the only true thing she gained from her husband was a title, some money, and wedding, all of which allowed Diana to user her marital status as a way of being able to do as she pleased and get away with a level of promiscuity that she could not as an unmarried woman.

    So while her husband was sent off to India, Diana moved to Marseille and started an affair with a fencing master Nathaniel. This man happened to be on the run due to murdering a man in Paris. Nathaniel trained her in the finer arts of fencing for a while, but soon Diana realized she no longer need his teaching and left him behind to continue her life elsewhere.

    Diana began giving sword exhibitions across Marseille to hone her skills and make some extra money. Her shows were known for their flamboyant nature and the challenges she extended. She would pull her sword, sing a few songs and then challenge anyone in the audience to battle her in a duel. If someone stepped forward, she'd sing a humiliating song about them, and make them look like utter fools who could not handle a sword to save their life.

    Her skills surprised most, yet some where more shocked and angry. One such man even accused her of being a man. That she was a man cross-dressing as such to try and make some money. Diana responded by ripping open her blouse and telling the audience to judge for themselves. Needless to say she was never accused of being a man ever again.

    Through her travels an interesting opportunity arose during one of her shows. A man of note within the Opera community attends the street performance after hearing her voice calling through the streets of Paris. He was so impressed by her melodious contralto voice that he decided that she was meant for so much more then the street show and fighting men.

    Within a few months the woman known in Marseilles only as La Maupin stopped being a street performer and became  the lead actress in the world's most respected Opera. She took on leads such as, Pallas Athena, Medea, and Dido. Of course, her fiery temperament in love and combat meant that she either slept or sword fought with most of the men and woman in the opera at various points of her career. One such story came about when one of the men was being overly-aggressive with one of Diana’s female friends. Diana attempted to handle the situation calmly but it was not to be. And she ended up waiting for him until he began the walk home.

    Diana stood in the street sword drawn, and challenged him to a duel for honor. When the man refused to fight Diana grabbed his very own cane and beat him before stealing his pocket watch and leaving him in the alley. The next day when asked about it the man in question tried to lie and say he was jumped by three men. As soon as he said this, Diana pulled out the man's watch and called him out about lying and forced him to kneel before her and beg for forgiveness in front of the entire shows staff.

    Diana was also a well known bisexual, unashamed of her love of both men and woman even within an age where it was looked down upon. She was known for dueling over female lovers and seducing any woman that caught her eye. Of course being a woman Diana could get away with some of the feats that a man in that day could only dream of. One of the most memorable moments was when she became a nun simply to seduce a sister in the convent.

    It is said that the beautiful blonde was sent of to convent by her parents when they found out about her lesbian relationship with Diana. Of course this did not sit well with Diana and she would not be refused what she wanted most. So Diana entered the convent as an initiate, created a diversion by setting the church on fire and kidnapped her lover. Afterward they spent months together in a small home enjoying what their bodies could truly offer.

    Another such grand event came when Diana fought three drunken men at once, beating them each down after they attempted to rob her. By the time all was said and down each man limped away with several stab wounds, though Diana did feel somewhat bad for one of the simple men after leaving him in such a bad state. So she went to his home to see how he was doing and ended up seducing the handsome man. They spent several weeks together doing nothing but enjoy each others bodies.

    But it was on of these heated moments that lead her down the path that would change her life forever. While attending a Royal Ball in the palace of King Louis XIV she caused such scandal that Diana ended up having to go on the run. She not only showed up to the party dressed as a man, but she showed no shyness when it came to dancing with every beautiful woman in attendance. In the process she made fools of many of the young men seeking to make one of these woman their wives. But what became the final straw was Diana kissing a marquise in front of the Royal Family. Several noblemen were so enraged that they stepped outside to duel Diana after she refused to act as they saw fit.

    She left the men that challenged her bleeding in the streets, this of course lead to a great deal of trouble for Diana. And she soon had to run or be put before a court of men she knew would have her killed. Diana fled from France and spent the next several years under a new name and try...the key word is trying to behave.

Her father didn't think it a productive as it didn't lead to any sort of promising career but and one does not need anything beyond the basics in his eyes. But as long as she kept up her studies with the added classes she was allowed to attended. These classes(she dabbled in different styles ) became a place of refuge for her in later years.

    Art and music: Painting was a gift from her mother who loved art. It started out as silly figure paintings and grew into something much more for Gabby. Now a talented yet unknown (unprovable) artist Gabby sees it as one of her many skills and passions. The cello was her fathers choice, thinking anyone of high society should have this addition to the skill set. It is more of an ignored talent as it was forced upon her, perhaps she will one day find the passion to it as well. 

    Weaknesses:
    Her naivety about the fae world: Gabby doesn't know much of anything about the Fae world (totally clueless at the beginning) and only knows what stories she read about it.

    Lack of resources:Since tell her father to perch and rotate(leaving the family behind) Gabby hasn't had any of the family wealth or resources and has had to start from scratch. Which has been easier said then done at times.

    Finer things in life:
    Gabby still has expensive taste from when money didn't matter in her life. She tries to accept her new lower station in life, but still craves the finer things in life that she once had.

    Personality:
    Artistic: Gabby seems to ooz an artistic energy that she embraces and expresses through her different talents.

    Flirty: Gabby has always been a flirt. Some call it teasing, but Gabby enjoys the attention giving or receiving and has at times taken it further when the man really interests her. (secretly she has had an appreciation for beautiful woman as well, but has not been so bold to openly flirt with them)

    Fiery: Gabby's temper or inability to simply bite her tongue has gotten her into the situation she is in now. And will most likely lead to more interesting moments later on.

    Determined: Gabby is rather determined when she sets her mind to something. Its why she hasn't simply run back home to be taken care of by daddy. She wants to stand on her own two feet and become stronger...and she is sooo not giving up any time soon. That determination has filtered through the rest of her life.

    Creative: Gabby has always turned to art for her outlet, her father required her to learn the cello but she has learned to enjoy it. Her passion lies with painting and dancing, the music most often becoming her motivation to put out some masterpiece or a good show.

    Lost:
    Gabby has no real direction to her life anymore. Each day is just a way to the next, trying to figure out what to do to keep herself in the crappy hotel room she stays in and eat at the same time. She has no real goal, at the moment she is just trying to find her footing again.

    History:
    Gabriela Marigold Cabral was born into a well to do family, her father a high ranking executive within his company, her mother from a wealthy family. Her mother had been an art curator but after marrying Gabby's father was forced to quit. Her father was a strict man and believed that woman had a place. That thought process only continued after Gabby was born. The youngest of three siblings and the only girl made her the prime bargaining chip for her father.

    Gabby's mother passed when she was young, the sad moment was only forgotten due to her father insisting they moved on. A point he drove home by marrying another woman not 3 months after her mother had passed. It angered Gabby to no end, and caused her to lose a great deal of respect and love for her father. But still it was her life and she did the best she could with it. This in the grand scheme of things wasn’t hard. As long as Gabby did as she was told, her father allowed her to live a rather lavish lifestyle. So for years Gabby tried to fallow the many rules handed down to her. Her brothers free to do nearly anything they wanted, but she was always to be the woman her father demanded her to be.

    There wasn't much love in her house growing up. Holidays were phoned in, and family vacations were most always taken separately. In fact the closest people Gabby had in her life were the staff of their large home. It was them that helped her to remember to smile despite the demands put upon her. And for that she would always be grateful.

    Years passed as Gabby grew to a beautiful young woman. Her father giving her the best education anyone could offer at a local private school. She was taught everything from languages, to the cello (her father insisting that she learn something classical). Everything meant to make her seem desirable and sophisticated. And Gabby tried her best to fall in line and find some form of happiness. But when her father suddenly pushed a man to marry upon her things changed.

    It was as if her father had arranged the marriage without even asking. Like some old tradition that should have been abandoned long ago. It was then Gabby began to fight back, and the more she pushed the more she realized. Her father became demanding and nearly abusive in his demands. She was his daughter and she would do as she was told. That is if Gabby wanted anything to do with the family money. Needless to say she fought back, and in short told her father to perch and rotate before leaving.

    This rebellion lead to Gabby being not only disowned but also tossed out on her ass, thankfully Gabby had enough cushion to bounce back rather quickly. She grabbed what she could and left into the city. Gabby was forced to drop out of school, and has been bouncing around and doing odd jobs to stay a float. Her art not really getting her much pay Gabby has decided to turn to something a bit less savory. Stripping was not something she ever thought of doing professionally, but a girl has to eat…and if it would piss off her father it was only a plus.

    ~Indepth~

    What Do They Feed Off Of?:
    Fear, and strongly favour fear caused by nightmares. Fear in the face of immediate danger is the weakest form of energy to them. The more unreasonable it is the better, which is why fear resulting from a nightmare (something entirely fictional) works best. Fear caused by Lena's own created nightmare is obviously more affective than the alternative.

    Power(s):
    Dream Manipulation: Can cause severe and real feeling nightmares through physical touch and telepathically after that initial contact has been made. (Just touching a person won't establish the contact, she needs to actually cause a nightmare by touch to establish the link.)
    Psychosis: Can cause psychosis in a person through nightmares over an extended period of time without interruption, for instance throughout every night for a couple of weeks. This presents differently for each person, as it draws forth something that is already part of their personality. (We all have some parts that will turn into psychosis if they get so severely out of hand.)
    Shadow Cloak: Can wrap shadows around herself and whomever has physical contact with her for any amount of time where said shadow is present, rendering those cloaked invisible. If the shaded area is large enough to move around in, she will remain cloaked as she does so.
    Sleep Paralysis: Can cause the physical and mental state of sleep paralysis, giving the illusion of heavy weight pressing on the victim's chest. If telepathic connection has been made already she can do this from a far, if it hasn't she needs to do this by physical contact. Doesn't have to sit on the victim though.
    Protective hibernation: Can fall into hibernation which creates an extremely strong shield around her. While in hibernation, she is unconscious and an invisible aura prevents physical harm. It can be penetrated but it is difficult and requires fae elemental powers, or willow. This hibernation is something the Mara chooses to begin, but has no control over the length of it. While in hibernation, she creates nightmares for every person she has a telepathic connection with and the older the mara is the more likely it is for her nightmares to affect people in the vicinity of her resting place.  Magdalena has done this once and her sleep lasted seven decades.

    Strengths:
    Street smarts: Having been on her own since she was a teenager gave her a wide arsenal of experience based knowledge and skills, people skills ranking high up there along with more hands on skills like picking locks and avoiding alarm systems. But the biggest advantage of all these is simply the frame of mind it's given her, the resilience and the survival instincts that keep her on her feet and out of trouble.
    Creative thinking: On one side, crazily vivid imagination and knack for abstract solutions. On the other side, a 'hundred and one ways to get into a person's bedroom without getting caught'...


    Weaknesses:
    Willow: Anything made out of willow will cause her discomfort on contact. Untreated wood will burn to the touch and if held to her skin for any amount of time it will cause actual burns and a reaction similar to a bad infection or allergy. (As an example, many of her ancestors have been buried alive in willow caskets where they then died an agonizing death, to make sure they weren't in hibernation which would create even more issues with their powers than when they were walking around.)
    Recovery: If she spends an entire night causing a nightmare and feeding from it, she will pretty much crash for at least twelve hours after she's fed. Doing that while keeping job hours is obviously not a good idea, so she limits the time of her feeding, but she does need recovery time of around the same time she spends feeding off nightmares. (Feeds for 2 hours, needs to sleep for 2 hours.) In the shorter feedings, she can go on with her day or night but will be drowsy.
    Lack of control over psychological consequences: She has no control over whether or not her nightmares cause psychosis, be it mild or strong. She knows that extended nightmares will do this, but basically can't prevent it and can't make it happen faster or with more impact. In some occasions this has happened with people in much shorter time than she's used to, those people either already mentally imbalanced or vulnerable to such, and she has no control over that.



    Personality:
    Feisty: There's no holding back her determination or confidence. If you cross her, she'll slap you. Maybe not literally, but you'll know you've been slapped... She speaks up for herself and for those she cares about, she doesn't hesitate to tackle projects that seem out of her league, and her quick temper is easy to rile up but thankfully just as easy to calm if you know the right methods.
    Bossy: Being in charge is a role she likes and is used to, to a point. When it comes to her personal life this shows in her tendency to call the shots and twist things so that she is indeed able to. At work it shows in how she runs her bar, yes her bar. Technically it's just the bar at Elysium, but anyone who works there knows they best not try to test her reign of that particular area.
    Funloving: If there ever was a woman who appreciates a good time, this is her. Be it a rocking party, a crazy journey or simply hanging out with her friends, count her in! She's quick to smile and quick to laugh, loves music and dancing which is a good thing considering what she's been doing for the past decades.
    Reckless: She should perhaps have a little more sense of what consequences might follow her actions, but the truth is she most of the time just doesn't care. Things have a way of working out, and she's gotten away with most of her antics so far, so why fret?
    Loyal: If she deems you worthy, she has your back through and through. She's very loyal to those she likes and even more so to those who've proven loyal in return. This extends to her place of work, and whatever she gets involved with. When the matters she's loyal to clash, she's extremely uncomfortable and tends to withdraw in order to stay out of the issue, but if she's forced to pick sides she's more likely to just vanish than actually do so.


    History:
    Born to a German mother and Italian father in the Duchy of Parma, 1584. Both of them were Mara's and dark fae. Her mother had fled Germany during the Trier witch trials (who lasted well after that), since it was hardly safe to feed when people were highly suspicious and trigger happy. Her father had been on the road, looking for a new place to settle in for a while, and there it was: An epic lovestory in the making, complete with questionable heroics and reckless acts of love and loyalty. It worked, however, not so well for the daughter they produced.

    Both parents were used to being on their own. Having each other was managable, but a kid... Lena was mostly in their way. By the time she could by any means be on her own they left her. One morning she woke up and they were gone, and that was it. She was seventeen at the time.

    For a long time, Lena bounced between towns and got into all kinds of trouble, her youth and her kind of powers not helping with the whole 'making friends in useful places' deal. But eventually she found her footing, and once she'd gone through her Gathering (a horrible, nerve wrecking and nearly fatal event where she got to taste some of her own medicine), she pledged with the dark and her path got a little clearer, eventually resulting in her Dawning.

    Nothing of note happened for a long time, aside from the occasional 'oops' moments with feedings getting out of hand and the like, until she found herself back in the regions of her birth home or close enough, Tuscany. House Auralius was a powerful figure in politics and being quite the little anarchist, Lena was easy to buy as a 'hit' on the Trajan Auralius' wife Alyona. She was to drive the water nymph insane and get enough funds to easily make the move to wherever she decided to go next (being a Mara meant she couldn't stay too long in one place at risk of being found out, and this would result in less than happy circumstances). However, Alyona discovered her and instead of having her killed for the attempt, spared Lena's life. The two struck an unlikely friendship which developed quickly into something closer, but no hearts were harmed in the making of this story. Alyona was utterly in love with her man, and Lena... Well Lena doesn't fall in love. The Auralius' son Gannicus was in the last stages of his training during this time, and Lena met him briefly in passing a couple of times. Enough times to recognize him again when their paths crossed but not enough to form any kind of personal relationship. She did however hold loyalty to the family, not only after the gift of mercy but after the friendship shared.

    Much later on she was happily bouncing from one place to the next in America when a New York Auralius caught her attention. It was initially out of respect and loyalty to Gannicus' parents that she joined the startup of the speakeasy club which later took form of present day's Elysium, but as years passed her loyalty has been earned by young Gannicus himself. The bar is her domain, pride and home away from home. New York has proven quite lovely with its masses of people and enough craziness going on to effectively hide Lena's feeding habits.

    Connections: Elysium staff and regulars

    Likes: Her work, skateboarding, snowboarding, dancing, partying
    Dislikes: Fighting, underfae, law enforcement, politics
    Fears&Phobias: Accidentally causing nightmares bad enough to harm someone she cares about. Being buried alive.
    O/Os: Writer's. Lena's a little on the dominant side but nothing that would take her into the Domme category. She has a thing for high socks on girls, and accents (as in language) on men. Absolutely incredibly bisexual and has a healthy appetite ::)

    Distinguishing Features:
    Character Model: Margot Robbie

    ~Indepth~

    What Do They Feed Off Of?: Talent
    Power(s):

    Species Associated Power - Seduces and inspires artists, musicians, dancers, writers, actors/actresses, helping them become famous and eventually drives them to madness and/or death

    Photographic/strong memory – She remembers everything she’s ever seen or heard…everything


    Strengths:

    Stealthy – Years of climbing out of windows and up walls has helped Korinna to become good at escaping. She’s also good at making her way out of a building quickly and quietly. Her hearing also helps her to hide quickly if she hears someone coming.

    Strong Eyesight – She can see things that human eyes cannot. This ties in with her keen eye for art.


    Weaknesses:

    Over Indulgent – She is not good and reigning in her appetites and desires. She’s finds it hard not to give in.

    Celebrity – She is strongest pulling her artists’ strings behind the scenes. Becoming famous through them makes her powers weaker and lessens the amount of nourishment she gets from her artists.

    Personality:

    Charming – Korinna is a people person. She can put most people at ease with her charming smile and her light-hearted humour

    Absentminded – She can get wrapped up in her own thoughts and memories, shutting out the world around her

    Flirtatious – She is naturally flirtatious and will flirt with anything that moves. It doesn’t mean she’s interested it’s just the way she carries herself

    Introspective – Korinna spends a lot of time in her own head, often thinking on past memories, artistic concepts and philosophical questions (as pretentious as that sounds)

    Creative – A lifetime spent around artists has helped foster her creative soul. Being an art gallery owner means that she has to come up with interesting concepts for her exhibitions

    Perfectionist – Everything has to be just right. Once Korinna starts working on something she won’t stop until it is perfect, in fact she can get a little obsessed with her projects. She has an issue of waiting for things to be just right, causing opportunities to pass her by.


    History:

    Her mother was a Greek muse and her father a Swedish crow. Her mother, Kallisto, had been running from her own mother. Korinna’s grandmother had planned to marry off Kallisto to a noble Dark Fae family. Kallisto had always been a bit wild and she had refused the marriage. She ran away from home and decided to hide where no one would think to look for her. She traveled across Europe before settling in rural Sweden. It was there that she met Korinna’s father, the type of man that conjured the word ‘viking’ to mind. Tall, blonde, and muscular the two began a tumultuous affair. Then Kallisto got pregnant. Korinna was born in Sweden in 1452. Her mother decided that it was best not to stay in one place so she made her way to Germany. She stayed in Germany for some years with the young Korinna and eventually made her way to Spain. When Kallisto was sixteen her grandmother finally found them and Kallisto was forced to marry the nobleman and leave her daughter behind.

    At the young age of sixteen she was homeless with barely any money. She made her way to Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance. Thankfully her mother had taught her the skills of a muse. She began a few affairs with some influential artists. They provided her with a roof over her head and nourishment.

    She stayed in Florence for quite some time but decided to move on, not wanting to be connected with the early deaths of several artists and musicians.
    She spent most of her youth hopping around to wherever the ‘action’ was; Paris, London, Vienna, Rome, Prague, and Istanbul to name a few. One place that she did not go was back to Sweden. Her father didn’t really attempt to contact her. She got a letter once asking how she was or something of that nature. She would never admit it but Korinna is hurt that her father never really bothered to get to know her. From what she had heard he had been married off not long after her mother and she left. According to his letter he had wanted to help raise her but her mother had insisted that it was safer if she had taken Korinna away.

    During the early 1700s Korinna sought help from her friend Diana for her Dawning training. She was able to pass her Dawning without too much fuss and of course chose to be a dark fae, like her parents.

    Around the turn of the century she had gotten a letter from an Italian Bacchus (Gannicus) that she was friends with. He was going to America and wondered if she would join his adventures in the young nation. She had laughed when she read it. Why on Earth would she go to such a place? What could America offer her that Europe hadn’t already given her? But she soon grew bored with the continent and around 1920 made her way to New York. It was there that she enjoyed the Jazz era. She stayed in New York for a while before relocating to Los Angeles. The film industry fascinated her. She greatly enjoyed LA and the multitude of film stars and singers. During the 60s she split her time between New York and LA. The 60s had been a time of excess and being free of one’s inhibitions and unfortunately Korinna took it too far. She went on a bit of a binge between 1969 and 1971 that resulted in a few deaths.

    In the 80s she heard from her mother for the first time in over a hundred years. Her mother had written her a letter saying that she missed her and some bullshit like that. The thing that surprised her was that her mother said that a lawyer would be meeting her that day. The lawyer told her that her mother had bought an art gallery and left it in Korinna’s name. She was stunned. What was her mother thinking? She wanted to refuse it but there was nothing she could do. She was listed as the owner, so she shrugged it off and took it. She had been looking to settle down after spending most of her life traveling. It was a good source of income and it gave her something to do.

    She decided to work as an entertainment recruiter for her friend’s club. Why not? She thought, she did have a lot of connections in the music world. And it would help her to be in such an environment.
