Throughout the world, they live among us... not the government spies 'they' or even the alien invaders 'they'... but the so called creatures of the night... they are as divided as people as the humans they pretend to be. Most of them feed upon humans... and many of the Supernatural believe that humans should be kept as cattle only... something to feed on rather than care for. Others... assimilate themselves into human culture, going to school, college or work as their visible age would excuse... Others... assimilate just for easy prey at any time. The possibilities... are endless.

Werewolves are a physically strong people. Their colourings can be varied and even unique. Though they can make the change at will, and have complete control... once a month the beastblood in their veins wins over. They are fairly easygoing people by large, if easy to enrage, though each Werewolf is individual and these are not fast rules for the race. They live long, often thousands of years before they die of natural causes and often have bad blood with Vampires.

|Vampires are a generally intelligent people, clever and witty. They are often pale and usually have bright eyes, blues or greens. They often rely on their wit, though their strength is impressive compared to humans it pales in comparison to most other Supernaturals. They are the longest naturally lived Supernatural, since no one could tell you the average lifespan of one. They are a snide and witty people in general, slow to anger and slow to forgive, and unchanging in their way. They tend to disagree with werewolves.

Constructs are a uniquely gifted type of risen undead, by design unable to rot and containing their own mind. They are just like any normall human... only immortal and lacking a heartbeat and breathing. They do not feed on humans, but hold a dislike for human necromancers for creating them and yanking them from the afterlife.

Angels are a balanced people, avengers of good and choice. They have wings, which usually match their hair in colouring, and are generally quite athletic looking. They can easily hide their wings when not in use and tend to fit in easier in Human society, dubbing themselves protectors of Humanity. They get on better with Werewolves, whom they consider mentally insane as opposed to actively evil. They loathe Vampires in general and consider Constructs abominations by nature. They have a longer lifespan than Werewolves, though not as long as Vampires.

And there we have it... feel free to make your characters unique, you don't have to fit them into my 'Generally this race is' and so on. So in general this will be a freeform RP, set in high school... mainly focusing on the social aspect and the possible friction between the people's race. Anywho, that's it from me. Hope to see you all soonish. <3

Does 'I totally knew I'd missed something' sound cliche? :-S I thought I'd done them before Angels, ah well C'est la vie, more than welcome to it. I'm open to suggestions... I'm an approachable girl really.

kingmaster1

awesome, so should I post a profile here? or PM? also is there a skeleton profile you want me to follow or is the usual fine?

Xanthaine

Go ahead and post here, Template below. (sorry about the template I just have this weird OCD thing about character sheets. :3)

Name:

Race:

Age:

Gender:

Sexuality:

Appearance:

Biography:

Other notes:

There we go. I'll post one after someone else does. Need to get my head in gear anyway. :-)

Capone

I might be up for this.

What are the specifics of the vampire? Things like drinking blood, daylight, garlic, etc. If they're going to school, I doubt they'd be vulnerable to sunlight. Perhaps we can come up with other negatives, such as needing to wear shades as the sun blinds them, and without regular doses of sun screen they burn easily.

Also, what's to expect in terms of violence? If I were to play a vampire, it would be a sort of self-hating one that aims to kill off the rest of his kind, and then killing himself last (I know, not the most creative). Or for an Undead/Construct, one that would actually aim to spread the Zombie-esque disease so that everyone could forego the Heaven/Hell split and just remain immortal on Earth.

looks good to me  ;D

Name: Marcus Lerron

Race: Demon

Age: 19

Gender: male

Sexuality: straight

Appearance: 6'3", muscular, with five o' clock shadow, brown hair, amber colored eyes

Biography: Marcus was sent to earth on a scouting mission, as preparation for the apocalypse, while here became fascinated with human interaction with super natural beings, such as himself. He also found him self to be enamored with human women, his father was the demon of lust so the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. After some time of living on his own in the human world, Marcus wanted to see what life was like as a high school student. Following this he's enrolled in the first he could find. Now Marcus spends his time messing with the student body and prowling for a constant mate, the angels look cute.

Other notes: Marcus has small shape shifting abilities as well as being able to turn parts of himself into various creatures that follow his orders (i.e. his fingers can break off and form into crows for observation) he is also amateur in fire control.

Ah yes, I've been WAAAAY too lax in some specifics here... essentially the sunlight weakens vampires... they become essentially human in direct sunlight... note direct sunlight, behind clouds and in shade they have no weakness. Garlic brings on a severe allergic reaction based around a bizzare kind of itchy, burning hives. Drinking blood is more of an ADDICTION than a need... the blood makes them stronger and more powerful at the risk of physical withdrawl symptoms. :3

edit: Also the violence is up to players, My character is fairly shy and so on, but others can be more violent... in a similar RP a friend had a Vampire Supremacist, which was hilarious next to my Liberal Vampire. :3 Just have fun with it.

And here's my sheet.

Name: Luna McAvoy

Race: Werewolf

Age: 535

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Bisexual

Appearance:

Biography: Luna was born in the mid fifteen hundreds, the daughter of a hunter and trapper in Ireland. At the age of eighteen, her father was bitten by a rampaging werewolf while out hunting... on his first full moon he changed inside the house, killing the entire family... except Luna. Luna's father ran away into obscurity, but Luna was frozen for the next five hundred years as an eighteen year old.

In the early sixteen fifties she moved to London in England, where she lived peacefully and relatively uneventfully until the early eighteen hundreds when she was offered a place on a ship to America. She took the long journey, locking herself in the brig during the full moon, leading the men to believe in the Howling Ghost of the Mary Clare, a myth that lives on to this day. She travelled around the States from Eighteen Thirty to now, only just deciding to settle down in New York for a little while... go to school... be normal for once in her life.

Luna has real trouble controlling her form during intense emotional outbursts, so when angry or sad she may slip. She is generally a withdrawn, sweet girl... and all she wants is a bit of attention.

Other notes: Luna has travelled extensively, and her main method of monetary gain was her violin, which she plays as well as the best in the world.

Capone

Hrm. Might want to make a more light-hearted character it sounds like than one with epic goals.

Perhaps a regular human, then? A paranormal investigator of sorts?

Xanthaine

Heh, the supernatural obsessive kind of deal? Sounds good to me, go ahead and whack up a sheet. :-)

GaGa88

How about just a regular human who just so happens to be a kind of supernatural groupie? :) If that is cool with y'all, I can come up with a character.
You took my sadness out of context
At the Mariner's apartment complex
I ain't no candle in the wind
I'm the bolt, the lightning, the thunder
Kind of girl who's gonna make you wonder
Who you are and who you been.

Xanthaine

Sounds good to me, hit us up with a character sheet, the more the merrier! :-)

MarissaSeraphOfInsanity

Name: Miranda Snow

Race: Angel

Age: 612 years old

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Bisexual

Appearance:

Biography: Relatively young compared to most members of her species, Miranda was born amidst the Renaissance and the beginning of a new world. Always more of a philosopher than a fighter, Miranda lapped up the teachings of the greatest Renaissance humanists, developing a unique outlook on life which differed radically from the rigid, dogmatic beliefs of her fellow angels. More of an individualist than a collectivist, Miranda has no views on any species as a whole and judges each individual on her own merits; as a result she views Constructs with pity rather than disdain and possesses no hatred for Vampires or even Demons.

Becoming something of a pariah amongst her own kind, it came as little surprise when she finally fell from grace and disappeared, abandoning her duties to protect mankind. Completely vanishing for several hundred years and almost entirely forgotten about, Miranda’s thirst for knowledge has led her to finally resurface to try and live the normal life of a high school teenager. Not that anyone would recognise her these days; her once flowing golden locks are pitch black as are her once shimmering white wings. Having become so proficient at hiding what she truly is, even the most observant would offhandedly dismiss her as just another human, while her bitter, unapproachable demeanour has pushed away anyone who tries to get to know her.

Other Notes: Miranda has the ability to hide her presence, ensuring that even those with a “sixth sense” can’t identify what she truly is. Most of her other powers have severely atrophied from lack of use, although she can heal minor wounds and weakly manipulate light and darkness.
"She is all the great heroines of the world in one. She is more than an individual. I love her, and I must make her love me. I want to make Romeo jealous. I want the dead lovers of the world to hear our laughter, and grow sad. I want a breath of our passion to stir dust into consciousness, to wake their ashes in pain."

Nice one, I like her. :3 If we get one more character sheet I'll get the ball rolling. Looking forwards to this one. :-)

GaGa88

Name: Spencer Marin
Race: Human
Age: almost 18
Sexuality: bisexual
Appearance: waist length honey blonde hair, blue-green eyes, slim yet curvy, toned and tanned, long legs, 5'5, 36C, navel and tongue piercings, a few tattoos. (will have a picture up later)
Bio: Spencer hails from New Orleans and has always been fascinated by all things supernatural. A descendant of Marie Laveau, the most powerful voodoo queen that Louisiana had ever seen, so Spencer has been finding out all that she can about voodoo and the power that could be in her veins. Her parents died in an automobile crash when she was 7 so she was raised by her grandmother, who raised her in the ways of voodoo. Although, her grandmother started noticing that if Spencer worked hard then she could become powerful. Maybe even take over for the old woman when she couldnt do it anymore. They had to leave New Orleans because of some reason she wouldnt tell Spencer so here she was, starting at a new school.

How would you feel about modern-day Dopplegangers?

You might know them as changelings, shapeshifters, mimics, or whatever, but the basic idea is that they can change their appearance to whatever humanoid form they want.  Think Mystique from X-Men if you're familiar.

I can see this kind of creature getting into all kinds of interesting situations in a high school...
It's all good, and it's all in fun.  Now get in the pit and try to love someone.

I, for one, think that would be absolutely awesome :)

I am definitely interested. However due lack of power in my house, I can't get a profile up (hard to do that from a phone).Could be anywhere from tomorrow to ten days, power company crews work at different speeds.

I like the idea of the construct, I've got plenty of time to juggle ideas for the character.

Name: Sam LaVerne (Current Name)

Race: Construct

Age: 739

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Straight

Appearance:

Biography: 1339 Stands as the year of his "Rebirth" proclaimed by the terrible man who dragged his soul back to the living. In a fit of rage and pain upon being forced into a body, he murdered the man responsible with the very tools he used. The next few years were spent physically destroying himself to no avail, he could not die again.

With a new body, he couldn't proclaim himself as his original being, such actions were be heresy to the people's eyes. With a different name, he sought out the remnants of his order, The Knights Templar. Only a few lived, but no longer claimed to be Templar. With the order dissolved, he joined a growing group calling themselves Masons, stone workers. With his help the group flourished into an order itself, guarding it's trade secrets, and working to better themselves. As time passed, his body did not age but his fraternal brothers did, he knew he had to leave them to there work.

Through history he remained hidden, joining those he believed to have worthy intentions and shortly after leaving them the same. However he did not simply watch, he learned. joining schools every few decades, discovering new skills and arts as he roamed the world. He may be dead, but he can see the world as it lives. He still yet searches for a way to end his abnormal existence.

Other notes: Automatic regeneration of physical body and skill with any form of weaponry including unconventional. Natural actions such as digestion and blood flow are now voluntary and can only be done with focused.

(Let me know if anyone has any other ideas for him or if I should tweak anywhere.)

ooohh..this sounds fun!

I am also keen if that's ok..I have noticed there are only two posts up so far.

I think it would be cool if at some point they had to band together (work together) even considering the different mixed races.
Maybe something massive will threaten them? Or Is this rp mainly based on school stuff..breaking hearts, skipping class etc..

I will put up a character thread tonight

Capone

I'm sorry I haven't posted a character sheet up yet. Things keep going back and forth between "no time for another game" to "time for like fifty games".

I'll see if I can get something up for the weekend.

Name: Vivien 'Viv' Maximon

Race: Angel

Age: 18 ( a girl never lies about her age!)

Gender: Female

Height: 5ft 9

Sexuality: Straight..most of the time

Bio: A fighter at heart with some of the most talented skills, she has leaned the art of swordsmanship and is talented in Martial arts. Being trained from a toddler, she was taught by the best of the best and is a direct decendent from a long line of known mercenaries. Ever since she was born she fought to play a part in this massive universe, had worked to serve her brother and sisters in arms..up until she was forced to go back to school... a sort of punishment for her which she still couldn't believe was happening.

Vivien had reached the age of 18 where her family thought it would fare well to mix with other races. The world was constantly changing, but this didn't lesson the fact that she wasn't interested in sitting in a box, staring at a box and then eating from a box...not that she did those ordinary things in general, but she had a preconceive notion towards school life...and it was gonna suck!
It was a lesson from her family whom wanted to teach her how to socialise, to be away from her own and learn the skills for the rest of her life... she really didn't consider they were being serious, until she witnessed the letter herself. Her rage venting only to destruct a most treasures painted wall in her home...another reason they said she had to be sent away.

Viv has been known as a bad ass angel. Getting caught doing things that should have her strung up by the Lord himself. She usually gets what she wants and has no problem fighting dirty..being nice never served anyone and especially if it's not for her benefit.

Other Notes: Great with most weapons, she secretly has a fetish for them..drawing blood and bringing on pain is something that brings a sparkle of joy to her life. She can also read minds, but that doesn't usually give her much incentive as the minds of most of her kind are too clean, to pure...too boring. Vivien has an amazing ability in art, able to create a landscape in which you feel you could walk into and truly live it...often she spends her quiet time indulging in this peaceful past time.
