Human Form

Beast Form

Name Jack Ransom
Nickname/Alias Parushta

Theme Song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqBp5xFw6VA

Breed:  Unknown
Faction: Hunter
Position: Soldier (Connection to Bellatrix)

Age - Apperance: Mid-THirties
Age - Actual: N/A
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Promiscuous
Nationality: Norse

Height: 6'2"
Eye Color: Greenish-Brown
Hair Color: Brown
Physical Description: Jack is rugged to a T. He wears heavy jackets that are about as un-fashioanble as they come. He cares about comfort, and has no worry about what people may think of him. He has pale skin no matter how much time he spends in hotter countries, and thick eyebrows that compliment his goofy expressions he makes frequently. Overall, he is and looks the part of a goofball. The most noticeable trait he has that sets him apart from others is his teeth, which look

like this.

Voice: Low and rough, with a slight Nordic Accent. He laughs loud, and is rather vocal in the -ahem- more private situations.
Mannerism: Jack plays the part of the goofy character well, and to his friends Jack is that and so much more. He's a mystery, a man who claims to not be special and yet tells fantastical stories of his past. He is a man who can speak forgotten languages, but prefers English because, in his own words, it 'took him damn long enough to learn it.' To his enemies, Jack is a force to be reckoned with. His eyes can turn dark and his mannerisms can change at the drop of a hat when threatened. Until then he's happy being the class clown.
Motivation: Having a beast form and being a Hunter isn't exactly the best combination, but Jack's thirst for justice for innocent people is what drives him and separates him from other 'monsters.' He kills those that threaten the meek, and avenges those that have no one else. Humankind, though not the race he belongs to, is something he has lived within as far back as he can remember. Jack also has a very personal motivation to hunt Vampires. For years, in the very distant past, he was kept prisoner by a Vampire and tortured for the being's pleasure. He doesn't mention it very much, but the experience is why he takes his time killing the blood-suckers.
Character Strengths: Loyal to individuals he deems worthy. Almost perfect gun aim when sober. Predatory instincts. Wilderness Survival.
Character Flaws: Addicted to Drugs, Sex, and Alcohol. Easy to betray team if other side is more appealing. Illiterate

Occupation: Nomad
Skills & Talents: Gun, Sword, and Bare-fist fighting. Able to drink copious amounts before it affects him. Unknown race.

Altered Forms:
Unique Abilities: Fast Healing, Shifts into

this form

, Soul Sucking (Extremely Rare Occurrence), regenerates after death.
Special Abilities: As above.
Unique Weakness: Heat Sensitivity.

Weapons:

Twin Pistols

,

Silver Shortsword

Other Equipment: Backpack filled with various types of bullets, Holy Water, religious symbols, etc.

History: Jack's history is long and complicated. He gave up on finding out what he truly is decades ago, but Jack does know that so far he hasn't found where he began. He was younger in appearance once, but he doesn't ever remember being any younger than a child of around ten. He has no memories of a mother or father who birthed him, only the ones that took him in along the way to where he is now. He lived through the Holy Roman Empire, the construction of the Pyramids of Giza, and Ancient Greece. He sees Ancient Greece as his childhood home, and Egypt as the prison that kept him a slave for years upon years. He can speak so many languages that when he is asked for a solid number, he simply shrugs. Apart from the good times he personally had, Jack doesn't like to talk all too much about the past, because he believes if he gave away too much information about what really happened back in those days people would want to pick him apart for answers. In the more recent past, Jack fought in WWII on the German side, while his brother Lukus fought for his native Englishmen. In the current storyline Jack is not with Lukus, and hasn't been for a number of years. They don't have a rocky relationship, but both of them know they can never be together long without disaster striking.

Jack had always been a hunter of sorts. He had slain beasts and monsters all throughout his life, but until he was the one that was preyed upon by the Hunter Bellatrix he never thought there would be an actual faction. Bellatrix had learned quickly of his unique abilities, but also that he was not on a par with others the Huntress might have slain.

On's: Everything, with the exception of the Offs.
Off's: Beastiality, Bathroom Stuff, Underage Characters.

Adara McKay
a d d i e

Theme Song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_RsQDCFWVo

Breed: Werewolf
Faction: Nomad
Position: Lone Wolf

Age - Apperance: 20
Age - Actual: 30
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Nationality: Polish

Height: 5'0"
Eye Color: Soft blue-green, gold flecks
Hair Color: Light brown
Physical Description: The first word that would come to mind when looking at Addie is 'small.' The woman was lithe, slender, but agile. Her curves - while small - were well defined, giving her an hourglass figure. She was simple looking, pretty. Nothing really stood out all that much about her, though it would have been unanimously agreed that she was beautiful. In a way, she was forgettable, and that may work out in her favor.
Voice: Gentle. Silvery. Appealing. Legato.
Mannerism: Skittish. Soft spoken. Shy. Slow to trust. Sweet. Generous.
Motivation: To find some kind of protection, mentorship, pack. While she isn't sure how exactly she'll find these things, she is totally alone in the world and knows she won't last long that way.
Character Strengths: Adara is incredibly genuine, one of the few that are totally and completely 'good' in such a corrupt world.
Character Flaws: With that innocence, she is easily manipulated and taken advantage of, quite the dangerous trait.

Occupation: Newly acquired job as a florist's assistant in this small town, hoping the pleasant floral notes might mask her own scent. Not to mention she'd take just about any position to keep herself afloat somewhere new.
Skills & Talents: Floral arrangement. Visual arts: drawing, sculpting, photography. Running. Singing.

Altered Forms: Her wolf form has not quite reached its full potential, being a relatively young wolf. That said, her wolf form is simply a larger white wolf. While much larger than a normal wolf, she would look like quite the runt in a pack. When in her wolf form, she is pure white, almost glowing within the trees. A beautiful coat, it certainly doesn't help her unless it's snowing outside.
Unique Abilities: Heightened senses. Advanced and quickened healing. Increased strength. Increased durability. Accelerated speed. Immortality. Ability to mate, join pack link. Shifting into wolf form.
Special Abilities: While speed is a common ability amongst the werewolves, Addie is simply the fastest. She has not met a creature faster than she is. This is the most important ability she has, as it makes up for her lack of strength as the 'runt' of the pack.
Unique Weakness: She's very fast, but also very weak. Much of this is because she is a new wolf, but she will likely never be as strong as many other wolves. She is also very small, which makes her easier to handle. Her shifts are painful, still a young wolf that hasn't been through it quite enough to be used to it yet.

Weapons: Her brother gave her a small dagger before he died, something that she holds dear. Other than that, she isn't very much of an offensive type, preferring to run.
Other Equipment: Her 'nomad' pack, if she ever need flee to a new city. In it is a canteen, a change of clothes, a wad of cash, and a photo of her brother.

History: Adara had never had it easy, not even since day one. Left and right, things went wrong. Both of her parents were wolves, making she and her older brother, August, purebred werewolves. Her parents hadn't really taught her all that much, aside from what she really needed to know. They believed that it was really August that needed to protect his sister, trying to shelter Addie away from the lifestyle, which would only hurt her later on in life.

Throughout high school, August grew stronger and stronger while Addie's growth was stunted due to the lack of use of her werewolf form. That would be the reason she'd grow to be a runt, never to fulfill what might have been her potential. August took care of her, certainly sheltering her not only from the supernatural world, but also the world of bullying and not being accepted in high school. Adara's good looks were surpassed at the time, the kids only seeing her as the shy outsider that wouldn't let anyone in.

But in time, she went to college, when news of her parents' dealings reached her. They had somehow gotten wrapped up in trouble, having taken out a lofty and prestigious couple's newborn son. With vengeance in the couple's eyes, they enlisted the help of only the best assassins and hunters, an enormous prize up on the line to take out the McKay family line, including not only the parents, but August and Adara just the same. What kind of revenge would they really achieve if their children lived on?

The McKay parents had been ambushed, going down before Addie was even able to say goodbye. Unable to hold onto her degree, August ripped her away from school. As important as graphic design and marketing was to Adara, that wasn't what she needed to be studying. He struggled to teach her all that he could, about being a wolf, living the lifestyle. They moved from city to city, never staying in one place for too long and only leaning on each other.

A year went by before the hunters caught up with them again. They had slowed, thinking they had found a sliver of freedom. But they were wrong. Adara was faster than August. Even though he was stronger, they were outnumbered. She watched the life leave him, left to be forever haunted by that empty look on his face. And with his death, Adara became the last McKay standing. She was the last that needed to be knocked out.

Running from those same hunters, she finds her way to Darkholme, hoping to mesh into the small town by getting a job as a florist's assistant. Maybe if she can blend in well enough, she'll make it. But she needs to find a new family, a new pack... Someone to protect her and teach her how to be the wolf she knows she can be.

On's: Submission. Rough play. NC. Romance. Bondage. Massage.
Off's: Scat, etc. Needles.

Player: Dove
Faceclaim: Unknown! :c Only three photos of this girl exist on the internet and only the name of the photographer is present.

Rayne
"Hellcat"

Theme Song: Peter Gabriel - Red Rain

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkLTwX0duY4

Breed: Vampire
Faction: Coven
Position: Coven House “Cleaner” (Bodyguard, enforcer, spy, assassin)

Age - Apperance: 25
Age - Actual: approx 1000
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Nationality: Romanian
Height: 5’10”
Eye Color: Blue-gray
Hair Color: Red
Physical Description: Pale, angular features, hard lean limbs and stomach, curvy but almost uncannily firm hips and breasts
Voice: Smoky, purring. How a succubus would talk to you if you were ever so (un)lucky.
Mannerism: Predatory; bipiolar extremes of dominance and submissiveness
Motivation: Defense of the coven and her own sadistic pleasure
Character Strengths: Aggressive, stealthy, cunning, conniving
Character Flaws: Likes to toy with her prey. A little insane. Probably bipolar with extreme swings of mood and desire.

Occupation: “Cleaner” (Bodyguard, enforcer, spy, assassin)
Skills & Talents: Armed or unarmed hand to hand combat, gunplay, stealth, espionage, extracting information (whether from interrogation, eavesdropping, or seduction).

Altered Forms: Bat, rats, cats, mist, ravens
Unique Abilities: Regeneration (especially after feeding), preternatural strength and speed and reflexes.
Special Abilities: Infrared and UV vision. Enthrall: able to hypnotize and mentally control some indidividuals. “Bloodbombing": feeding on someone in a way that poisons them and caused them to a poisonously explode a short time late. Dilated Perception: bursts of accelerated speed and reflexes, even by vampiric standards.
Unique Weakness: Fire, sunlight, cinnamon. Yes, cinnamon. Rayne is somehow very allergic to cinnamon. It can cause her enthrall ability to reverse (making her the thrall of someone she was trying to hypnotize). Smaller doses also reduce her will to fight and put her in a ‘rest and digest’ state, whereas large doses have the reverse effect, sending her into a mad rage attacking friend and foe alike. Ever heard of the "cinnamon challenge"? Don't trick Rayne into trying it, unless you and her want to literally paint the town red.

Weapons: Literal blades up her sleeves, guns, a chain harpoon gun for ‘reeling in’ victims or ripping out supporting beams, sections of walls, etc. Usually has small knives and small caliber pistols stashed around her person. Sometimes packs serious heat like machine guns and grenades when expecting or making big trouble. Rayne doesn't like fire but she does like fireworks.
Other Equipment: Climbing and burglary gear. Lockpicks, smartphones with some hacking technology (Rayne is not a hacker person but knows how to use certain programs to do things disarm some security stems or snarf information off other devices that are not suitable protected.) Sometimes packs serious heat like machine guns and grenades.

History:

More centuries ago than she cares to speak of, a young Rayne was an attraction in a traveling gypsy freak show. As she tired of the life, earn the wrong kinds of attention (even by freak show standards, and became aware of her own abilities, she fled.

She might have lived a peaceful life (as peaceful as one who feeds on others can), had she not been hounded by goons of the father she had never yet known. She learned that her vampiric father had made her what she was, that she was the product of rape, and that her father now lived as a cruel baron with kingly ambitions. His efforts to forcibly recruit her were his own undoing, as Rayne’s only way out of his grasp proved to be killing her way through his thugs to her father himself.

From there, Rayne kept on the move, always finding it difficult to settle with those who would neither be afraid of her (she hardly blamed them) nor try to use her (whom she fled or fed from). She worked her way around Europe, seeking out answers from great Renaissance thinkers as the continent blossomed with passing centuries. She made passage to the frontiers of North America, working as a hired gun and seeking fortune and gold. She found herself back in Europe on some occasions, making her own furtive contributions to world wars.

Most recently, she found herself back in North America, in what was now the US state of Alaska, not too far from some of the old mining towns she had ridden and worked over during the 19th century gold rush. She was still a hired gun, but for once part of something larger as well - a corporation and a coven.

Rayne operates as a “cleaner”, which is an upmarket word for “thug” or “muscle” but does involve more stealth and tact. Sometimes. She often serves as bodyguard (and, by some rumors, more, but that remains to be confirmed or denied by either party) to the Coven House CEO, Pinga. But she is frequently far from the CEO’s side as well - generally doing dark deeds of espionage or assassination as needed for Coven and Corporation. Rayne's "softer" jobs tend to be things like procuring new playthings for the CEO and the Coven's father and other elders.

Recent rumored threats to the Coven have brought Rayne in a close orbit, working over Darkholme town itself for leads.

Rayne has typically been a very high performing and valuable cleaner for the Corporation, although she does sometimes get a little too...enthusiastic...with things like interrogation, or bringing a grenade launcher to a knife fight. Rumoredly she may have undergone a few very personal reprimands and punishments from the CEO or coven father. If so, they have only increased her loyalty.

When she has down time, Rayne is usually training, and-or holing up at one of several safehouses with her own latest plaything. Rayne has a perverse soft side - bittersweet nostalgia for the peaceful life she knows she could never have - and will indulge herself by finding a nice sweet thing she can play house with, when she has the time. They tend not to last, due to her busy and globetrotting and violent career. At best, her longest companions have succumbed to natural aging. There are a few gravestones around the world, whose exact locations Rayne will never ever forget, even as national borders change.

In other words, when Rayne isn’t shoving bullets and blades through her enemies or biting into their necks, she’s looking for that special someone to lasso and tie down. Literally.

Heather Blakesley
"Lassie"

Theme Song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ivt_N2Zcts

Breed: Werewolf
Faction: Pack
Position: Omega

Age - Apperance: 21 years old
Age - Actual: 21
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Mostly straight, slightly bi-curious (and in denial about that)
Nationality: United States

Height: 5'-4"
Eye Color: Brown
Hair Color: Brown
Physical Description: Pleasant featured but not particularly memorable.  Dresses non-descript to help hide her identity.
Voice: New England accent with annoying vocal fry.  Might be Bahston Brahmin
Mannerism: Quiet, tries not to be noticed.
Motivation: Find a pack and family, then learn control over shape and instincts.
Character Strengths: Loyal to pack, supportive and bright.
Character Flaws: Lack of control over instincts and mood.  Desperate for cure and hiding from human birth family (who she will do anything to protect.  Almost compelled to obey the superior members of the pack (likely all of them).

Occupation: Med student
Skills & Talents: Medical training, full set of Girl Scout merit badges, American Sign Language. High IQ and very good memory but her full intellect depends on how much control she can maintain.

Altered Forms: Large Dire Wolf. Hybrid Werewolf Form. Nicholas's wolf forms are large, almost prehistoric looking with deep brown to black fur.
Unique Abilities: Some degree of (but little control over; Extreme Inhuman Strength. Heightened Senses (Hearing, Smell, Night Vision). Enhanced Speed. Incredible Rapid Healing. Monstrous Durability against Physical Damaged. Superhuman Endurance. Supernatural Agility & Reflexes. Environmental Adaptation (Weather). Immune to most Diseases & Toxins. Indomitable Will (Mental Resistance). Beastial Metabolism (Inability to get truly drunk, Superior Digestion and the ability to consume raw meat)
Special Abilities: Rapid Transformation; Almost seamless change from one form to another (Acquired due to extreme age as a werewolf).  Heather has little control over her transformations and is often in an intermediate state between human and wolf in both body and mind. Lycanthropic Infection.
Unique Weakness: Applied electricity, medicine or enzymes may prevent transformation (Chance of this not working at all due to extreme age and control of werewolf form). Lunar Dependency; connected to the phases of the Moon, Full Moon in particular. Involuntary transformation during a full moon; transformation at this time is bigger, stronger, and more bestial with less control. Vulnerable to silver, wolfs-bane and/or other traditional werewolf weaknesses (slightly more resistance to these weakness due to advance age);

Weapons: None.
Equipment: Heather has little equipment as she can't always depend on a human form and opposable thumbs.  She wears cheap, 'shreddable' outfits and has a cheap cell phone others usually carry for her.  She does have a custom collar that is stretchy enough to withstand the change to any form.  A tiny radio tracker is in the collar for when Heather is too bestial to maintain concentration.

History: Some people know what they want to be while in elementary school, Heather thought those people were slackers.  She was born to a family of wealth and social standing, in addition to being naturally bright, attractive and fashionable.   It was expected she would marry well and produce the next generation of social climbers.  Lassie herself couldn't imagine more for a life.

But not long ago, under extreme stress, she changed into a wolf.  As luck would have it, she was alone and undiscovered.  It wasn't too long before she found her Alaska pack found her and/or she found them.  It could be that Lassie was the result of an illicit (and forgotten) affair between a male werewolf and Lassie's human mother.  Or perhaps the very recessive werewolf genes finally expressed themselves in this distant relation.

While Lassie doesn't mind the senses and perspective of a wolf, it interferes with her very proper social life.  So she schedules 'Werewolf Time' in her appointment app.  The problem is that, over time, Lassie is losing full control over her human form and personality.  With concentration, she can suppress the lupine changes for a time but not for very long.  This means that time spent in the company of unknowing humans must be well-planned and relatively brief.  Some of the time, she stays on the pack's property as a free-spirited but reclusive hippie chick.  But other times, she has to pretend to be the family 'dog' among regular humans (she can usually maintain a wolf's form indefinitely).  The sheer indignity of being a genius-level prodigy on scholarship pretending to be someone's pet irritates Lassie greatly.  She is frantically looking for a cure for her lack of control.  A wise manipulator can use this to great advantage.


On's: Submission, Exhibitionism, Light Humiliation, Transgression
Off's: I'm not generally offended by something simply offered as long as I have the right to gently refuse.

All these character sheets are amazing! I can't wait for this to start :D
By the way, I changed my theme song, if anyone is interested.

[dblkrose]

Happy Tuesday All,

Myself, I'm a bit under the weather but that just means I get to call in sick and Catch up on Post and work on this RP. With that said I've attached a Character Thread to the main recruiting introduction.

Sorry that we lost Sasquatch421 as he was the first to show interest. My hopes are he will give us another try if something comes to him. I'm loving all the work done on the CSs. So let me go down the list from back to front.

Szandor - I actually listened to your new theme over and over. Really Like it.

Dream Lover - Sent you some feedback. We just need to tweak your sheet a little and you should be good to go and I will add her to the CS Thread.

ff - Wow! Yeah... She is so approved. Glad to have you in Group!

Like I said, the goal is to try to get everything running this week. I believe we have another hunter coming and recruiting will remain open till we get about a dozen or so player or a nice even spread among factions.

I hope to have the faction write-up done, OOC up and the Locations out quickly so that we can start to play in this little sandbox. Thanks again for all your interest. Feel free to drop me a PM with a suggestion, comment, or the like.

What if there was also a coven of Witches in Darkholme? In real life, I have been a Witch since I was a child, as my mother and her mother and so on were all Witches in County Clare, Ireland.
I would like to be the coven's High Priest. We would be a dark Witchcraft coven, and would practice Sex Magick, which I can explain at length as that is a practice of mine in real life.
This coven could interact with any other faction as they see fit. Once the werewolf comes to Darkholme, the coven would want to investigate... and let's say that the Witches coven is not on friendly terms with the vampires.

Let me know what you think.

By the way, I wrote with Vlexia some time ago, and she sent me the link to your group.

Hello Arcana 13,

Thanks for the interest. I would not go with creating a whole new faction; at least not right now. I am not opposed to a character who would practice witchcraft as a stand-alone player. Perhaps we can discuss this in the PM?

[dblkrose]

Thanks to my Elliquiy Group Coach/Taskmaster (who will remain nameless) but has pushed me to keep my RP Dreams on track... We now have a OOC

I know some of you are already talking to each other... let's get some of that 'love' out in the open! May I, respectfully, ask for everyone to chime in and say hello? It would make your GM happy... Thanks in advance.

[Nymphadora]

Sent along my sheet to DB for review. A human bar own with a magical bend that grew into something a bit more after some discussions with our GM. I'm pretty excited!

[ff]

Looking forward to your char and her tavern, seems like a good spot for shady meetings and a hangout for characters trying to keep an ear out for town gossip

Hope she has insurance...I feel like a supernatural faction battle set in a Western mining town has got to have at least one bar brawl

Tavern feature request: at least one stripper pole. Think of the possibilities and action stunts

Back after a long while - Vampire / Hunter in the making.

Will be submitting after I finish the history

Thank you Dblkrose / Elven for making this possible.
