Les Bijoux Noirs- (Black Jewels series based RP; Interest Check)

[Divine Tenacity]

Bear with me, so far this is just an interest check.

However, if and when I have enough interest...

This RP is based off of the world of the Black Jewel series by Anne Bishop (if you don’t know, please please do go and give it a read. You will be pleasantly surprised.) Most of the background information on the world itself is derived from the wikipedia page. I do not think I would have been able to do an explanation justice otherwise.

This game is an Alternate Fantasy that displays the classic genre of Light vs. Dark, but with a twist...  Murder, politics, intrigue, and much more awaits with the world of The Black.

***THE DARKNESS***

The Darkness is not so much as a force but a religion and a way of life The Blood practice throughout the three realms to maintain their world. Despite prominent names like SaDiablo, Daemon, and Lucivar, the use of the Darkness is as a centerpiece for the Blood; not meant to represent evil, sin, or anything negative. Instead it is worship most revered as equally as a scion of Life would be. Though The Blood does acknowledge the Light, they are more prominent in their acknowledgement of The Darkness. It is a common known fact between all of the Blood that everything was born from Darkness shall thus return and fade into it when their time comes.

**THE WITCH STORM/THE PURGE**

500 years ago Queen Janelle Angelline SaDiablo, the strongest Witch in known history, sacrificed most of her power in order to purge the realms of the Taint. The Storm spread throughout the three realms, destroying those Witches whose hearts were not pure. Shortly after the Storm, Janelle passed away, too weak to be able to carry even herself. Her Consort/husband, Daemon SaDiablo, followed almost immediately after, heart broken at the loss of his soulmate.

**PREMISE**
(Still very WIP)

What is Bliss?

Bliss is no longer what one would think it is, not in these recent times. Bliss was usually associated with anything positive and pleasant in the world. Now? There are those who seek to pervert its meaning. Some of the rich and powerful have two faces. On one they uphold the Blood's ways within Protocol for the general populace, the other are the promoters of these utterly depraved events. Everything is true, everything is permitted at these gatherings, simply for the pleasure of it all.

In these times, these Bliss parties have gained so much influence that the Taint has begun to encroach once more, spreading its tendrils from Terreielle to Kaeleer.
These Bliss parties/events are run by a secret circle of antagonists, who plan and plot to once more take over the realms.

Now that the strongest witch in history no longer exists, almost nothing can stop them from fulfilling their plans.

It’s that almost that gives something for the people to have hope in...

**BLOOD SOCIETY**

Blood society is often described as an intricate dance between social class, Jewel strength, and caste.
Although the Blood come from many of the same races as the landen, as the Guardians and Caretakers of the Realms the nature of their power makes it so they are bound by a unique set of rules, outlined by Protocol and Law. (More on Protocol and Law soon.)

[Divine Tenacity]

The Realms of The Blood is dissected into three distinct territories centered around The Darkness; Terreille, Kaeleer, and Hell. The Realms themselves are reflections of each other, familiar yet distinct in places where the Blood runs thin.

**TERREILLE:The Realm of Light**

Terreille, also known as the realm of Light, is the Realm farthest from The Darkness. Terrerille is the location in which the great Purge took place, freeing the realms of the Tainted Witches Dorthea and Hekatah SaDiablo. The denizens who are known reside in the twice hollowed lands still speak of their atrocities with hushed whispers and fervent stares. Territories of Tereille include:
-Askavi
-Dhemlan
-Ebon Askavi
-Hayll
-Dena Nehele
-Babilonia**
-Ansalon**

HUMAN RACES OF TERREILLE

HUMAN RACES OF TEREILLE:
Babilonian: Most Babilonian's are fair haired and fair skinned, normally sporting light blue eyes with some greens and they usually have pale blond hair to dirty blond and very few brunettes. They are not a very tall race and usually only come to a height of 5'7' for males and 5'5' for most females. The males have nice tans and muscular builds to them from working on the hill sides or down in the docks in the many cliff side towns. The females are petite and usually have nice tans on them as well from working out in the sun filled hanging gardens or chasing their children around while the men are at work. They are a short lived race and only live till about 150 years maximum. They currently have a culture that is generally Patriarchal.

Dena Nehelean: Though they have wrested control from Hayll, the once-second class race of Dena Nehelean people have not yet regained as much power of territory as they held over 20,000 years ago. They have gotten so much territory (the size of a district) because they were one of the last lands to fall to Hayll and they still had people alive when the cleansing of the taint happened. Descended from diluted long-lived blood, the Dena Neheleans have light to medium brown skin, brown eyes, and lighter colored hair, either light or medium brown instead of black, and frequently wavy. They live about 2500 years.

Dhemlan: The average Dhemlan has black hair, brown skin, and golden eyes. Dhemlan males do not grow body or facial hair. Their age span runs to 5000 years maximum. They are very, very concerned with tradition. The Dhemlans of Kaeleer and Dhemlan are essentially the same race.

Eyriens: A long-lived race, they are predominantly male, and have wings much like a bat in different colors to match their skin tones yet several shades darker. They are the hardest, toughest warriors, and they are Patriarchal. Some skills such as fighting and combat come naturally to them and other skills such as reading and book-skills tend to be a little more challenging. Eyrien names also follow a pattern; male names end in the suffix of -ar, while female names end in the suffix of -an (ie: Lucivar, Marian, Andulvar, Luthvian). Eyrien males do not grow body or facial hair. Their age span runs to 5000 years maximum.

Hayllian: The average Hayllian has black hair, brown skin, and golden eyes. Hayllian males do not grow body or facial hair. Probably the most obviously socially divided race between Aristos and well everyone else, all Hayllians have a reputation for slickness, arrogance and conceit. Their age span runs to 5000 years maximum.

**All of The Kindred Races of Terreille died out long ago.

**KAELEER: The Realm of Shadow**

Kaeleer, also known as the realm of Shadow, is the realm situated between Terreille and Hell. It it also the only realm holding the majority of the world’s population. In Kaeleer, the blood continue to live their lives according to the Old Ways, unlike the Blood in Terreille. Though not entirely free from reproach, Kaeleer remains the most population destination for Blood immigrating from Terreille to settle. Territories of Kaeleer include:
-Askavi
-Arachna
-Arceria
-Lunatarium**
-Dea Al Mon
-Little Terreille**
-Dhemlan
-Ebon Askavi
-Glacia
-Scelt
-Tigrelan
-Elysium**
-Fyreborn Islands

HUMAN RACES OF KAELEER

Dhemlan(See Above in Human Races of Terreille)

Eyrien (See Above in Human Races of Terreliie)

Dea Al Mon: The Dea Al Mon people are known as the Children of the Woods. They can best be likened to elves. They have delicately pointy ears and are known as skilled marksmen and women. They are also said to be "born to know how to wield a knife" and thus it is applied that they are good in melee fighting. The Dea Al Mon are a short-lived race, one hundred to two hundred years. They have forest-blue eyes and pale silver hair, and usually slim and willowy in build, but are much stronger than they look. They are extremely secretive and have cut themselves off from other territories .

Tigrelans: Tigrelan is the home of most Tigre - a fierce, feline race. Tigre have been known to range from a snowy white more resembling their Arcerian cousins, to a spotted grey, taking more after leopards. Tigrelan is usually a closed territory, but does allow occasional exceptions. They have an average life span similar to that of the Dea Al Mon.

Glacian: The people of Glacia are typically fair in coloring, having light skin and often blonde hair. They have an average life span of 100 to 175 years.

Lunatarian: The people of Lunatarium are typically dark in color, having honeyed skin and often dark hair. They have an average life span of 150 to 175 years.

KINDRED RACES OF KAELEER

Askavian: wolves; mixed genders; can serve as any caste except priestesses and black widows

Dragons (Fyreborn Islanders; Fyrekin): dragons; mostly male; can serve as only Male castes. Females can serve as any caste except priestesses and black widows.

Sceltian: dogs; mixed genders; can serve as any caste except priestesses and black widows.

Arcerian: felines and great cats; mixed genders; can serve as any caste except priestesses and black widows.

Arachaenian: spiders; Black Widows, mostly female; they are solitary; weavers of dreams.

Unicorns(Elysians): Any caste but Black Widow. Come from Elysium. They are wonderous creatures out of myth, with huge spiral horns rising from their foreheads. They are fiercly territorial, and skilled with using both horn and hooves to inflict damage. They are large of stature and finely muscled, and are usually white, dappled gray, cream, or black colored. Unicorns mate for life, and they are ruled by a Warlord Prince/Queen mated pair.

**HELL:The Dark Realm**

Hell, also known as the Dark Realm is the realm closest to the Darkness. It was ruled for centuries unending by Saetan Daemon SaDiablo, until his retirement and untimely demise. His son, a slave of many talents but ever proud Eyrien warrior Lucivar Yaslana has taken up his mantle as the current Ruler of Hell. Hell still remains vastly unexplored, known Territories in Hell include:
-Ebon Askavi
-Cildru Dyathe’s Island

RACES OF HELL (NPC for the most part)

Demon-dead: A Blood male or female whose Jewels strength still resides even after their death, preventing their return to The Darkness. The demon-dead serve as servants and advisors to the Lord of Hell.

Cildru Dyathe: Demon-dead children who died horrible violent deaths and cannot return to The Darkness. They instead reside on the island hoping their deeds will one day find them the solace and peace they seek.

**CHARACTER CREATION**

Please follow these guidelines when creating a character. Any questions feel free to ask!

CRAFT

CRAFT is the main ability, the ‘spark’ of power that distinguishes the Blood away from the Landens.

BASIC- Craft has several basic abilities that include simple telekinesis-- an ability use to move something around with ones thoughts. One’s capacity is only limited by the color of jewels he/she wears; and telepathy  -- used to communicate with other Blood across distance only limited by the power of one’s Jewels. The Blood is also able to ‘vanish’ objects, storing them in a pocket dimension only accessible by the one who ‘vanished’ the item.

IN SPELLS- Craft can also be used as a catalyst for soothing, calming, heating, illusionary, witch fire, and death spells. Spells can also be used for buffing the Blood, strengthening a part or parts of their body in order to better protect themselves. Of course one is still limited by the colors of the jewels they wear. Preservation spells can be used to extend the life of paintings and certain foods.

Craft is specialized in four distinct female castes. The Healer, Black Widow, Priestess, and Queen. Males are also able to take on these specializations depending on Caste.

CASTES

Female:
Blood Female- a female of the Blood who does not wear Jewels
Witch- Blood female who wears Jewels but is of the lowest Caste
Healer- a witch who heals wounds and illnesses; equal to a Priestess or Prince
Priestess- witch who worships Blood Mother; services marriages and Sanctuaries
Black Widow- witch who heals the mind; weaves tangled web of dreams & visions; trained in poisons and illusions
Queen- a witch who rules the Blood in the each of the 5 Territories; very important to her people and her land.

Male:
Blood male- a male of the Blood who does not wear Jewels
Warlord- Jeweled males equal to a witch
Prince- Jeweled male equal to a Priestess or Healer
Warlord Prince- a dangerous, extremely aggressive Jeweled male; slightly lower in status to a Queen

THE CASTES & CRAFT

**CRAFT IN FEMALE CASTES**

CRAFT IN HEALERS- Healers can use craft to break and set bones, heal wounds, and cure various poison dependent on the color of the jewels they wear. Healers are not above combining their jewel strength to achieve greater feats.

CRAFT IN BLACK WIDOWS- Black Widows can manipulate the craft to part the folds of time, enabling them to foresee the future, view memories absorbed by wood and stone, or to see the true intentions of people. Black Widows are also masters of deadly poisons and subsequent reagents.

CRAFT IN PRIESTESSES- Priestesses wear their craft as a mantle, bestowing them with the right to perform marriage ceremonies, Birthright Ceremonies, and The Offering to The Darkness. They are also able to bend the Dark Alters will into shape, allow safe passages between the realms at these points.

CRAFT IN QUEENS- Queens play the most important role in the Blood society. They are able to become the focal points of the Darkness, able to manipulate Craft to influence the land and restore it wherever the Taint has touched. Queens often take up another specialization when taint is little to non-existent in their territories.

**CRAFT IN MALE CASTES**

Warlord
A Jeweled male equal in status to a witch. Warlords can have any jewel though the caste itself is noted to be far less dangerous and vicious than those of the Princes and especially Warlord Princes. While they are protective and powerful Warlords lack the aggression of their the higher castes.

Prince
A member of the second highest-ranking male caste. They were much more aggressive than Warlords, but lacked the volatile temperament of a Warlord Prince. A Prince is equal in rank to the Healer and Priestess castes.
Interestingly when addressed in formal conversation both Princes and Warlord Princes were referred to as simply Prince (eg. Prince Saetan SaDiablo).

Warlord Prince
"A dangerous, extremely aggressive Jeweled male; in status, slightly lower than a Queen."

Addt. Information for Warlord Princes

Status and Temperament
A Warlord Prince is a caste of Blood male that is arguably more predatory than most of the Jeweled castes. He has strong instincts that are easily brought to the fore regarding protection, sexual interest and aggression. He rises easily to the killing edge as a result of these heightened instincts and senses, and a great deal of Protocol
involves methods that a Warlord Prince can use to curtail their instincts and move in polite society, and methods for other Blood -- or landen, should they be familiar with Protocol -- to handle them.
Protect, Serve, Obey
All Blood males possess the instinct to serve a Queen. There is a 'right' Queen for every Blood male, for better or worse, and there is a specific reaction on both sides that dictates this. Though not every Queen causes the instinctual response -- perhaps a psychic connection on some level -- it is regular for Blood males to sign a contract to serve a Queen that is not his. When a Warlord Prince feels this pull and surrenders to it, he submits his power, abilities, and his temper over to the Queen. This helps to center the Warlord Prince and ground his temper. This desire to serve the Queen is so strong that the Queen's will is usually put before everything and anything, including a lover, in the Warlord Prince's life. This serves a few functions, the most important being that it helps to keep a Warlord Prince from doing damage to the court itself. Of course the pull of service to a Queen can only go so far. It doesn't change his nature, it simply centers him. It is for reasons such as this that Warlord Princes are feared and respected as valuable aspects of a court.
Protocol Concerning Warlord Princes
A Warlord Prince, despite his power, is always second in status to a Queen. Though there are exceptions to the rule, in general they do not wish to utilize their power to rule over others, instead they wish ot serve and protect making it their honor and privilege to work with and for a Queen.
The Rut
Like the mating season of ruminant animals, or a male elephant's musth, the rut for Blood males is a mating season, though it can be appeased by either sex or violence. It lasts for several days. Though it is not confined to Warlord Princess, they are affected the most extremely, and it is fairly rare for other Blood males to go through it.

"Rut. That time when a Warlord Prince's sex drive eliminated everything else. Every male was a rival to be eliminated. Every female but the one he'd chosen scraped a temper turned wild and unpredictable... Warlord Princes were always violently passionate and passionately violent, but the rut drove them to a savagery that bordered insanity."

It is said that during a Rut a Warlord Prince will have enough sexual drive to service an entire coven to exhaustion and still keep going. The stated problem, however, is that he has a tendency to focus on only one woman for the entirety of the Rut. Their judgement appeared to be impaired during this time. Their behavior is more animalistic than usual;a Warlord Prince's always displays volatile instincts at peak level.

THE JEWELS

The Jewels are the outward representation of the power wielded by various members of the Blood. The rankings start from White, being the weakest, to Black, being the strongest. The Opal Jewel is considered the dividing line between light and dark colored Jewels as it can be either. The Jewels act as a container to hold the power possessed by the Blood, whose bodies cannot maintain holding their full strength at all times. Not all members of the Blood possess enough psychic power to wear the Jewels, but yet are still able to wield basic Craft.

The Jewel Ranks are as follows:

Weakest-White Yellow Tiger EyeRose Summer-sky
Purple Dusk **Opal** Green Sapphire Red Grey Ebon-Grey Black->
(Ebony (legendary plateau; reservoir is still unheard of even in this day))-Strongest

***Opal is the dividing line between the lighter and darker jewels because it can be both***

BIRTHRIGHT CEREMONY
A Birthright Ceremony was a ceremony Blood youths underwent in order to be granted a Birthright Jewel. However, not all Blood who participate in the ceremony have enough psychic power to wear the Jewels and don't come away with one. If they do come away wearing a Birthright Jewel, the Blood youth would wear it until they were old enough to make the Offering to the Darkness; a ceremony that allowed the Blood to descend to their Jewel of rank. A persons Jewel of rank was never more than three ranks lower than their Birthright Jewel.

After a Birthright Ceremony, a public celebration was held during which a mother would openly grant a father all paternal rights to the child. Even if the father had raised, loved and nurtured this child, he has no rights to them until he is granted paternal privileges after the Birthright Ceremony.

OFFERING TO THE DARKNESS
The second ceremony occurs some years later when the child is ready to make another Offering to the Darkness and join Blood Society as an adult. Every Jewel has the possibility of descending in darkness by three levels. During the Offering the wielder may or may not receive a darker jewel.

Four more spots left until we can get started. If you all want, you can begin working on your c/s! Looking for a mix of two males and two females.

[LtFox]

Tentative interest.  I have some possible ideas.

Also, apparently this world only follows Canon for the first three books, the first trilogy? As quite a few issues regarding the SaDiablo family, kaeleer races, kindred and territories like Dena Nehele and others got resolved in later books, but is contradicted here.

[Divine Tenacity]

Name: Flynne Avianclaire

Age: 1,500 years (20)

Gender: Female

Race: Hayllian

Appearance: Refrence Flynne (anime),Flynne (model) Flynne is the ideal example of a post-Taint Hyallian noblewoman. Although rather petite for her size, Flynne is quite broad and muscled, her father's influence. He always believed in working for what you owned. It was with that same mentality he taught his only daughter how to sword fight and other activities suited to gentleman. When her mother would finally get fed up with 'noble versus the bandit' , Flynne was dressed in the best of fashions- long elegant gowns and lady pantsuits that fit her midnight green hair and signature gold eyes.

Home: Hayll(formerly); Little Terreille (current)

Birthright Jewel: Sapphire

Offering Jewel: Ebon-Grey

Caste: Queen (disguises herself as normal Witch)

Sexual Orientation: Curious; Has yet to go through her Virgin Night

Sexual On's: Flynne likes to be kissed, she just had her first one decades ago. While not entirely prudish, Flynne is unsure of what she likes...
Sexual Off's: ...Except anything to do with bathroom play, dismemberment, vore, and any other really hard limits.

Bio: Flynne is the only child to the Marquise and Marquess of Avianclaire, a small holding lying in Hyall's renewed splendor. She has spent most of her long lived childhood in their care, learning the gentlemen arts from her father, and the ladies from her mother. Flynne was glad for the lessons from both of her parents, while her opinions made people at Court uneasy, it had also made her an outrageous person of interest. Unfortunately her happy life came to an end on the account of equipment failure. while riding the darker Winds back from Kaeleer, her parents were met with an unfortunate accident, their carriage was destroyed and they were hurled off into the Darkness. Foul play was suspected but it could not be proved, not yet. Flynne has vowed to find out the truth of her parents death and seek revenge in any way possible.

It was then she heard abut Bliss parties and her parent's possible inclusion within their ranks. Over time, Flynne would come to learn that her perfect life was not all it seemed to be.

Or the lengths she would go to get her revenge.

Misc. Info:
-Flynne likes to wear a gentleman's sword when out and about. Her mother did not allow that nonsense when she forced her into a dress.

[Kuje]

Name: Hunter Galloway

Age: Two Thousand (Looks to be in his thirties or forties)

Gender: Male

Race: Dena Nehelean

Home: Terreille – Dena Nehele – Grayhaven

Birthright Jewel: Green

Offering Jewel: Red

Caste: Warlord Prince

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual

Sexual On's: Rough, BDSM, pain, cutting, the usual that comes from a warrior and a Warlord Prince. Does not mind having vanilla sex either. As usual it depends on the partner that he is with.
Sexual Off's: Bathroom play

Bio: As a member of the Gray Lady's Court, he knows of the ruse that Lia kept up to pretend she is her grandmother. As the years went by, he rose through the ranks until he became a member of her court. He spends a lot of time away from her territory though, taking up works that make use of his skills and that is his way to protect the Court. With the new reach that Bliss has started to spread, as has the Taint, he's become a body guard to those that want protect by someone that is strong as a Warlord Prince. This also gives him a chance to try to learn more about the parties and everything that is involved, letting him send messages back to the Gray Lady's Court with what he learns during those times that he's a guard. At other times he doesn't mind filling the role of a sexual partner either for those that want to feel the roughness that comes with the violent temperament that comes with the power of a Warlord Prince.

Misc. Info: He's skilled in using dual blades at the same time.

[Kimmy]

It's been too long since I've read Anne's works... But I really would like to try applying. You'll have to forgive my mistakes - I'll read some of her works tomorrow perhaps. But let me throw some thoughts down & see what strikes you within my darkness.

Application thoughts

Kindred borne. That's the name they used. The name for the family with a twisted past & a lost present. The story says their great grandmother had been one of dark twisted tastes. So twisted that she went far beyond the twisted affairs within the dark parties - that she even took Kindred to her bed. And this was all people cared to remember when their mother stood lost among the present. Her home had been long broken - political might and incestual desire burning all within. His mother's mind wandered sometimes. Sometimes she was there for him. Sometimes she was their broken toy, mewling to their every whim. Sometimes she was lost, touching upon a land so distant it couldn't be real. It was surprising it took her so long to finally fell pregnant - of course, without any man to lay claim for it. And that's when the name resurfaced. A kindred borne child... Perhaps that's what sparked the madness within? He never could piece his mother's shattered mind back together...

Broken by fire & politics, she had to wait. Wait for strength. Wait for age. Age enough for her son to be strong. Strong enough to live with her... to live without her. Their family was a living shame - ruined by Janelle's magics. A shame 'adopted' by their cousins. And now they too bore all the dark twistings of their fore-bearers. Rape... Abuse... Domination... Child were shattered before they learned to play. Fatherless girls molded by dark twisted hands into playthings & puppets. And young boys burned and scarred before they ever understood pain.

His mother wore her madness well. She stepped from moment to moment, holding herself to her children. Whatever she lost herself too, he was fed & cleansed. Perhaps as a means to hold back the filth of their household? Perhaps that's where her mad thought fell. She fed him until he was strong enough to cope. Strong enough to survive. With- or without her. Then and only then, did she cast her web - throwing herself to the winds. Somewhere in her madness she had found a path. A path from Kaleer to a distant place, where dreams were touched & children could live as children. Alone... but free. Alive or dead, they would be free...

I grew up in that quiet place. My dreams were the one time I wasn't alone. Mother's madness had almost claimed her now. She spoke sometimes. Most a rambling madness of shattering webs - but sometimes she'd speak of something important. But the thing I remembered the most were the names. The names of the creatures that held her before the silence came. Before the weavers touched her dreams and let her know she could stop. The names that needed to be shattered beyond all else. The names that made the webs quiver with red desire. Those were the names I remembered.

Those - and one other. A young name. A sweet name. A soft name. A name never spoken. A child's name. A girl's name. A name his mother never spoke of. But one that touched upon his dreams. A sweet light hidden among the filth. Untouched but tormented! She too was a 'kindred child'. She too was the unwanted child. But not being desired, she was broken in a different way. Trained. Tamed. Constrained. Like one might a pet. Dressed to be the kindred her father supposedly was, she lived the shattered life of one with nothing - no name. No desire. No goal. Just emptiness and the ever eternal hope of being forgotten. She was the one light remaining in that home. And one that he wasn't going to abandon.

That name too he remembered. That name too he was take. He would shatter every name from that house. None would be left living to remember them. And then he would give that one a new name. A true name. And maybe, just maybe, the webs would let him arrive in time to find her mind still hidden within the webs of their madness...

The Boy

A Kaleer boy. A child raised within an incest filled home, without a father to lay him claim. A child whose shattered mother stole away into the night - clinging to some fragile path hidden within the webs. Landing them close to the Arachaenians... So that the dream weavers might give her boy hope where none else lay. He grew up in isolation, relying on maddened mother & his dreams to offer company. To some, he is a dangerous young man. His purpose in life is two fold - to shatter the household that once bore his family - and to rescue whatever innocence that can still be found there. There shall be none left living to remember the names...
As angry & dangerous as he might be, his rage is nothing compared to the twisted desire to tear that home down - brick by brick, grain by grain. None would escape. Nothing would be left. And so, just like the isolation he was raised within, he will wait before he acts. Though his mindscape would tell his desires far too well... to any foolish enough to look.

For his caste, I'd like to try for a Black Widow trained male with strong jewels. I've no idea what you require, but I'd like to try for a Prince- perhaps even a Warlord Prince? I'm just not sure if you'd even consider this concept... I know how rare & isolated the Arachaenian's can be. To consider someone who lived near them... perhaps even learned off them... Well... It's a long shot. But it's the idea that formed within my mind so I just had to try.

The Girl

The one innocent of the family. Born fatherless, she was dubbed 'kindred borne'. But her father wasn't from within the family. Her light golden hair & soft features were pretty to many - but to her family, she was fortunate to be unloved & undesired. So instead they tamed her into becoming their 'kindred'. They would strip her bare or dress her up as some animal - and treat her as such. Soon the game became habit & now she only needs to remember which animal they desired today. Should she disobey... They are cruel - but still punish her as one might an animal. Still as her mind retreated - she found a place of solace. A quiet land where almost no one walks. A place she could reach when she dreamed sometimes. There was a boy there. And sometimes she could feel the eyes. Eyes of others that didn't wish to be seen. But mostly she saw the boy. She watched him in wonder. He was strange. He had a woman with him. But her eyes were broken. Her mind fell about her. But if she lent in close, sometimes she could curl up beside the boy whilst he slept... And she felt peace.

She is a child bound in bondage & petplay. Born after the boy left, she is the flower he might save. Her appearance suggests a father of a different place - perhaps even a different race? Sexually unmolested, she can't stay safe forever. She has little self worth & almost no understanding of ownership. But her jewels cast her so far - perhaps she might one day become something far more. But only if the boy is quick enough... or else she will become the next shattered mother lost to that house.
Her jewels should have definite potential - though I would consider them to be quite pale - perhaps somewhat translucent, whatever their color. She definitely won't have her adult jewel yet. She should be about 16, slender & slight. The age where she will start to be noticed. And possibly some sort of heir - if you wanted to throw that into the mix?

This idea is welcome to suggestions & changes. I'm mostly going off memory at the moment - but we'll see how you react & go from there. I can always write another concept.

[Divine Tenacity]

@ Kuje, can't wait to see the completed sheet!

I also revamped the c/s a bit so the image should fit properly to the c/s instead of looking a mess :P

It's been too long since I've read Anne's works... But I really would like to try applying. You'll have to forgive my mistakes - I'll read some of her works tomorrow perhaps. But let me throw some thoughts down & see what strikes you within my darkness.

This idea is welcome to suggestions & changes. I'm mostly going off memory at the moment - but we'll see how you react & go from there. I can always write another concept.

@Kimmy: That.... gave me shivers!

And even more plot bunnies! Would this family be renowned within in the Bliss scene? How many other families are involved with these parties? Is there a 'Light' Inner Circle to counteract the Darkness and pervert all it stands for? Who can save the common folk from the suffering that makes the Taint pale in comparison?

All very good things to consider.

The characters. I am in love with the both of them! The boy sounds just as dangerous one would expect from a Warlord Prince. One who has trained with the Arachaenians? Even more so! I want to see what ou do with him.

The girl, she breaks my little heart! I guess for all sakes and purposes of keeping true to the world, she can start being noticed at 16. I would feel a little more comfortable with 18 but this is based off of Miss Bishop's world, so I will allow the 16 year old.

[Kimmy]

@Midori Sadi:  I uh... You said yes? ... Really? Excuse me for a moment...

Midori said yes! I gave her shivers! Ohhh! There shall be singing and dancing and ever so much darkness...

Ahem... I can happily make her 18. I was just worried that she would more than likely be noticed long before then & that was a loophole that might be problematic. But honestly, now that I have had a moment to consider, 18 is quite workable. If that helps, then that's just fine.

As for the family, that is the area I have to push into your court & ask for help. I can imagine that aspect will not only be totally out of my control (or will it?) but also probably falling into the range of someone else's story- if they want it. I would truly love some assistance putting them together - this is the hole in my dark sprinkled donut. Tomorrow I'll read through some of the books and what everyone else is writing as well, to see what webs I can weave for them.

I'm about to do that miraculous thing involving lots of Z's, falling sideways & soft scale pillow impacts... But I'll work on a sheet or two tomorrow. I want to attend to the matter now - but I know I'm dangerously uncoordinated in my thoughts when I'm tired. But tomorrow I might even be able to find some names - but names are just so important within this setting... I can't just pluck a name out of a hat. It needs to hold something a little more... potent? If you have any inspiration in that regard, please do share!

*spins* I gave the GM shivers! And plot bunnies... I hope you have lots of carrots! Because I can't wait to do it again! *grins* Night night now!

[Divine Tenacity]

Alrighty then I look forward to talking with you more tomorrow then! By then I should have pulled my mind out of the puddle of goop it has fallen in long enough and write up a proper plot synopsis that can incorporate each character's backstory as well as the direction of the plot itself. I know how the name thing goes! It took me forever to give my character, Flynne a name! For a while she was just known as  ??? which was adorable to me. :P

You sure did! Shivers and many carrots to feed these bunnies. God damn it, now they are going to orgy in my head and make even more plot bunny babies! I blame you Kimmy! Thank you lots! :P In the most awesome way possible.

Grins, that's why I threw his pic up first since having it in the sheet itself made the text go all over the place. :) But I'll redo the sheet with the changes. I'm not sure what more to add either but maybe some ideas will hit me once that revised plot and stuff is worked out.

Awesome, just keep in mind some of the questions I was asking in a previous post. Also take a look at the premise again and give it a read again. Maybe your character worked as an Escort for one of the Bliss members? Or is he a part of the inner circle himself? Maybe he is on the opposite side trying to take it down? Some things to consider.

[The Golden Touch]

-flops in to wait for more information-

Helena will be posted when I get off work... Eventually.

[Kimmy]

A curious question - if Daemon Sadi died of a broken heart, would he allow himself to become demon dead? The only thought that seems to suit is it's out of duty to his father/his father's realm? Since dreams made flesh cannot become demon dead Janelle could never join him...?

It doesn't impact my character in anyway - just a point of curiosity that has me wondering.

Now to think about a race & a suitable mentor for plotting revenge...

Wait... no he would not. In fact, I think I will change who rules Hell now in Satean and Daemon's stead.

There are still a few SaDiablo roaming around...

[Kimmy]

My housemate suggests a Yaslana perhaps. :P *tries not to come up with reasons to depose the ruler of hell twice in one day*

*whistles*

Funny... I was thinking along those lines as well...

And would not be a bad idea after all!

[Kimmy]

I have a few odd questions - mostly stuff that's *not covered* within the books. Or least, not that I've managed to find.

Is there a word for currency? Even just a vague type - like coinage or notes or similar?

Do Tigrelan's have tails? And what are their eyes like? Any thoughts on their appearance would be appreciated. Fur?

I'm almost finished writing the pair up. If I gave you what I wrote over the weekend, I'd die of embarrassment... So I'm taking a little more time to make sure the tone is clear & the style is ... persuasive.

Hurray, I am still awake and thus able to answer your questions... I hope!  :-[

Hmm, y'know... I think Miss Bishop went as simple as calling them 'notes' and passes between realms 'chits' or something or the other. I am fine with just calling it coin.

Yes, Tigrelan's do have tails! Their eyes are not unlike a domestic kitty's... they are also covered in fur and can come in many patterns, though spotted or striped seems to be the common variety, is what I am going to go for.

Realllly? >__> I-I want to see! I want to know!!!  :P

[Kimmy]

I can't promise any shivers, but here's what I have so far. It took me a long while to realize your character sheet didn't have a personality section - so I was forever trying to use the bio section to explain the personality - making it read like a textbook and not an enjoyable piece of fiction. I really would love to know your thoughts & will do my best to work a more consistent style into it.

Leviath, the Boy

Name: Levaith Rachnen (Le-vy-th Rack-nen)
The names are drawn from Levithan & Arachne. They symbol the demon from the sea & spider or spider demon, amongst other meanings.

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Race: He is born of Dhemlan parents, his mother shattered and broken upon the spear of her own family.

Appearance: Levaith is tall, standing some 6'2". He bares dark hair that is kept slightly too long for the fashion. His skinned is a dark olive tone. He bares dark brown eyes flecked with silver. When he draws upon his craft, his eyes darken whilst the silvery lines glow. He keeps his nails long, painted in a soft gold color. And will refuse anyone who suggests he paint them otherwise. He dresses in fine black suits, preferring tails & waistcoats. Levaith doesn't shift nor fidget. He remains still, offering endless patience to those he waits upon. His movements are careful and considered. His demeanor is quiet and still. Though when he wants someone, he will make himself present within their focus, allowing them to draw themselves into his presence. He prefer's to patiently allow others to tire themselves before he acts, if he has the time.

Home: Kaleer would seem to be the location of choice- though my limited memory of the territories would draw me towards Little Terreille of Kaleer as his birthplace. He was raised within the territory of Arachna.

Birthright Jewel: Red.

Offering Jewel: Black.

Caste: Warlord Prince. Trained as a Black Widow by an Arachnian.

Sexual Orientation: Poly-sexual. His first desires were held towards an Arachnian, so really it's an open playing field.

Sexual On's: Golden hair is beauty like one might consider art. Sensual touch, physical proximity and contests of power are his choice of foreplay and desire. Ensnaring a love, stealing a kiss or sharing a passion, these are his acts of love. Gentleness has it's place - just as harsher, stronger displays where one is dominant. His preferred mate would indulge and provoke his predatory side, enjoying the sensual danger of it. But she won't forget the boy that lives within him, longing never to be alone, longing to be beside someone always.

Sexual Off's: Weakness, Destruction, Pointless Violence, Abuse... All things that might make his predatory side dangerously angry instead of dangerously playful.

Bio: His mother wore her madness well. Shattered, she had skittered the twisted kingdom as they fled their family home. She took him somewhere safe. Somewhere far. Somewhere alone. She cared for him - feeding him. Bathing him. But even that was a struggle. It wasn't long before he gathered the fruits and he warmed the waters, forcing her to eat. Reminding her to bath. Soon he raised himself, left alone besides his mother's ramblings. It was difficult - though when she spoke of family, he could make sense of it. She had been hurt by them, enough so that they occupied her thoughts often. Enough so that even the half spoken truths and broken futures of the twisted kingdom could be made into a sense. He learned their names and their tastes. Their crimes and their desires. Though often he wondered what it might be like to try such things - he knew so little. Did so little. He was so alone here...

Frustration turned outward, he threw his loneliness upon the winds. His red jewel surging. The webs carried his cry - and the threads answered. His wish to be together brought one. One solitary soul to him. She was a voice at first. Araneus. Sometimes man. Sometimes woman. Araneus came at night, when he drifted into sleep. She opened his dreams before him, giving her company. She showed him the world beyond the watery wall of his island home. She held the form of a woman usually - a small frame, skin glittering like gold with raven eyes and sharp teeth. Though sometimes she was a man - just as sometimes he wasn't. His dreams became her tangled webs. Places, people, sights and sounds - all opening up before him. For moments he could live another. Like a human. Instead of alone.

Araneus had purpose within his dreams. She taught him of people. Of animals. She taught him to hunt, ever so patiently. So carefully. His nights were often longer than the day. She described him unkindly - accurately, but unkindly. But for each displeasure she found within his young mind, she taught him something more. Molding him into the man he was growing into. Impulsiveness became patience. Loudness became subtle. Eagerness became desire. Loneliness became passion. A boy became a widow. Unlocking the webs and casting upon the winds.

Araneus knew of his family. Of his anger. Of his curiosity. She tempered his growing desire and hatred towards them by giving him passion and love. Their lessons became games. Her power became shared. Their nights became passionate. She taught him love. And to make love - as a man... As a woman... With men... and with women... She opened the doors within his young mind. Allowing him to blossoming into the prince she dreamed of. And he took to her elegance. Taming the physical form. Training desire into pleasure. Working craft into control. Tempering her elegance with his own fire.

Araneus knew Leviath could not remain as he was. Boy's must one day grow into men and live their dreams. Dreams must be made flesh, or never lived at all. So she gave him one final gift. A picture of a child. Thin, flat like a boy. But with hair golden and long like a woman's. Like Araneus's. The child wore the clouds for form - white snowy covering it's slender shape. Rays of sunlight stroked down each side. Tall eyes shone like purple starlight against the dark. And yet, despite all this beauty, inside was a lonely void. A numbing void pushed all feeling down too far to reach. Down in the places only spiders dare look. As he reached out towards that face, his hand became fire - burning the threads in the web. It was a slow destruction, the webs snapping and recoiling one by one, collapsing all around the child until that was all that remained. Then it was gone. His gift- and his price. Thankfully he knew her name. It was the name his family bore. It was a name he knew well... It was a name he wanted to burn ever so slowly...

A boy can wish upon the winds, but he cannot live within his dreams forever. Eventually we must make our dreams flesh.

Misc. Info: Leviath's nature is heavily influenced by his teacher. She is an Arachnian queen, hence her golden form. He learnt his life within a dream world - so now he has the much more difficult prospect of living it. Now he must truly be the patient predator, situating himself within the home of all he hungers for. Only then can he weave his webs and begin the slow fire to consume them all.

His sense of beauty is not quite human. Nor is the mind of his preferred mate. He doesn't limit himself like humans do. He was opened up to much greater thoughts that those.

When he works his craft, Leviath will normally wear and utilize his birthright red jewel. He withholds his black until it is required. Most won't even know he has the black. Though when he does, he will knot and blend his threads together - employing the human arts of bondage he has learnt to strengthen the webs he casts - just like the way a net can hold so much more than any single thread might.

Ravanna, the Girl

Name: Ravanna Adara or kindred born/kindred child.
Ravana holds the meaning: Sun child & Demon. Adara holds the meanings: Virgin, Beauty & Prince.

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Race: Ravanna is born from a Dhemlan mother & a Tigrelan father. She is mostly Tigrelan in shape but her mind is a mix of animal instincts & Dhemlan insecurities.

Parents: Her mother died within childbirth. Her father has no rights, and probably isn't aware he has a child. Her father is of a wanderer's disposition. She was raised by her cousins.

Appearance: Her skin is like white snow, furred all over. Pale gold sunlight stripes down her back, striping and coming to fine tips about her flanks. They also slash their way down her long slender tail, almost meeting at their tips. Strange slits of eyes shine like purple dusk in the evening light, beneath two twitching feline ears. Golden hair falls almost to her waist - taking long twists and framing her slender form. Her fur obscures much, but if examined one finds her skin tight and her form holds fine muscles beneath. She bears no fat - leaving her hips with more of a muscular curve. Though her chest is beginning to sprout, drawing some notice. A tight black band of leather traps her neck, sealed with her white birthright jewel. A bell tinkles lightly beneath it, dispelling the illusions of humanity & reminding all whom look that she was in fact a kindred born. Sometimes other bells are tied to her tail or body. Though she remains unpierced. Her clothing can range from almost nothing - her slight figure requiring little to be hidden under confining leather straps. Or it can be quite exotic - from flourishing costumes to fine ballgowns. It all depends upon her purpose for the evening. Sometime she even is dressed as other forms of kindred - though she finds the unicorn to be the most difficult to wear. Especially during a race.
Ravanna has no claws, though her teeth are rather sharp. She could live for a few hundred to a few thousand years.

Home: Raised by her cousins, within one of the more 'exotic' bliss houses of Little Terreille. She rarely leaves the house, so knows of little else.

Birthright Jewel: One uncut White Opal. Enviable, remarkable in potential and yet unremarkable in strength.

Offering Jewel: Unknown - her strength to plunge into the depths has yet to be seen.

Caste: As Caste is determined when your born, I'm at a loss. I was hoping this was something that could be determined later, when her personality was settled. My first thought was that of a Prince - which also isn't appropriate. Perhaps a healer? I'm just not sure. Maybe just a witch? Influence and suggestions would be most welcome here.

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual. Personality & scent will hold more attraction than flesh.

Sexual On's: Raised within a bliss house, she finds interest and disgust in both the gentler passions & darker, more painful passions. Animalistic passion, strength & power are all turn ons. As will sexual freedom. Bondage isn't ruled out - especially since Ravanna is used to most restrictive clothing. But the right for bondage would need to be earned. Though, events may alter her disposition to be more submissive - or to actively engage others so they can fight for dominance, before finishing one another within the bedroom.

Sexual Off's: Sexual brutality, torture & anything messy. Physical & psychic scents could replace arousal with aggression or revulsion. They could also enhance her desire.

Bio: Kindred born. A Dehlam child born to a strange inhuman Tigrelan father. Ravanna's birth was dangerous. Her mother burnt her jewels to protect the child. Leaving Ravanna with a name. Just a name, alone. Ravanna was given to her family - who blamed her monstrous shape for taking her mother. They feared the girl, but could not relinquish her. Her name was valuable. Heir to fortune. So they twisted the child into their perverted bliss household. She became the kindred child. Kindred born, a monster pet whom they tamed. And trained. Collared and commanded. Broke and bent.

Ravanna grew up amid the dogs in the kennels. Her birthright jewel sealed the collar about her neck. She learnt to fight for her dinner - growling and hissing, biting their ears with her sharp teeth. She also learnt to perform under the hands of her family. They hung her mother's death about her, using it to trap her into their schemes. She became their circus animal for the stage. She learnt to crawl and walk, climb and claw, mewl and sing, dance and prance, race and debase herself. All for the adoring desires of the crowd. They dressed her in costumes - sometimes human, sometimes inhuman. Though the hardest to wear was the unicorn suit. But even that, she mastered for them. For all she wanted was to earn their forgiveness... Their love.

Ravanna was alone. Her company either came with the harshness of the whips as she was trained. The adoration of the crowds who loved her tricks, washed her within their psychic desires & exultation. The dogs fought her for food and status - and yet, at night they would curl up together for warmth, like family. And then, then she was alone. Either forgotten or left to practice her tricks. But alone. The family would leave the house - but never took her with them. And an emptiness grew within her. A lonely void that she was desperate to fill. She was even jealous of the ones they made scream... To be so wanted... so desired that they must be broken over and over... Ravanna wasn't worthy of even that. She had taken her mother from them... and could never be forgiven...

Sometimes Ravanna wondered what would happen if she left herself fall into that void - where her emotions couldn't reach... Maybe then, then the pain would stop.

Misc. Info: Ravanna's inner strength has been holding out against everything. The first few people to influence her from the outside, they will shape her. Mold her. They might give her love. Perhaps meaning. Perhaps they will finally tame her into something she longs for. Or perhaps, they will help her find some claws.

[Divine Tenacity]

I really really extremely like both of your characters Kimmy! Hmm... maybe we can just caste Ravanna as a normal Witch? Hmm... maybe I should add the personality option to the c/s. I feel like Flynne is sorta incomplete without it as well.

So... I think it is time to get the ball rolling. I will start creating threads during the week. I would do it today but I am recovering from my boyfriend's BBQ party last night. Long story short it was a good night and I am currently hungover and require more rest.

[Kuje]

Midori did you ever receive that PM I sent last week? Was just curious about if you had anything more to say about my revised ideas.

Also, no worries on the threads.

@Midori: *Dances* You like them? You do? Really? *Spins* Ohhhh... I just... I'm too happy to think right now!

I think Ravanna being just a witch would be fine. I actually forgot you can just be a witch. ^_^' Is there anything more you need from me? I'm too giddy to think!

Do you have a barebones for the character you would like to play? Remember this does take place after the trilogy. None of the subsequent 'after' novels are canon, mostly obsolete.

Very basics so far~

[Divine Tenacity]

I love you c/s so far, Star! Just some last minute things to keep in mind:

Jewel strength:

So I see Jewel strength  more like your limitations and something or the other. the bigger te spell the more draining it is on your Jewels...

For example:

-Green-jeweled Black widow casts a net of shadows and foresight." Immediate events may come through, but pivotal events drain much of her jewel strength.

-Green Jeweled Healer: Mend minor life-threatening injuries. Huge lacerations or deadly poisons are purged from the body depending on how dark her jewels go. (for more info, PM me.)

-Green Jeweled Priestess: able to preform Birthright/Claiming Ceremonies. Also able to safely guide the entrance to the Winds. All other abilites will be added at Gm discretion. (Please PM me!)

[Inari]

Thank ye for the help! :)
