Witches and their Fiends (NC, Dark Rom, Soulmates, Eldritch, EX) temp CLOSED

[Sephiriel]

Modern would be good for other purposes, true, but nope. Victorian 'cause skirts, dresses, ruffles, corsets, coats, vests, everyone should be dandy and spiffy! :3
Also background scenery will be dark and mysterious and exquisite. For human characters, think Victorian mindset. Despite the supernatural reality around them, they still have to worry about manners, etiquette, hygiene, wealth, acting properly and decent in society. All those lovely things.
Weaponry is limited in power and it's fancy

Undine, Bilan is approved! You can start working on relations too. Let me Know if you want her to be Matron's blood daughter (extra gift + consequence apply)

[KnowThySire]

I've been meaning to post this.

Name: Zeke
Gender: Male
Role: Fiend
Race: Fire Genasi
Age: 26
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Appearance: Strong and fiery, literally. Zeke's physique bulges as if chiseled from marble, a feature inherited from his elemental lineage, along with his hair that resembles a flowing flame. When in a full stance, he looks to be a rather tall 6'2', and heat constantly radiates off of his ash-like skin. The fuel of his inner inferno can be seen being contained within his eye sockets, and the visibility of his curse is portrayed below his undergarments as always swollen.
Personality: Zeke has much passion for his ideals. Rarely does he back down from his points, and is quick to battle to the end for them. He has a great care for his allies, standing by those he actually gives a damn about in the darkest of times. Lust almost always clouds his judgement, but as much trouble as it gets himself in, it is also an aid to his ambitious nature. He's a free-spirit to the maximum, and it is the creed he lives by as he continues forward with his existence.
- Virtues: Brave, Vigorous, Passionate, Unrelenting
- Vices: Brash, Lustful, Unrelenting
Role traits:
-   Curse: Unquenchable lust, to the point of physical pain if not satisfied
-   Cure: Soulmate is a nympho 
Powers: Fire Manifestation/Manipulation, Shapeshifts on deaths door into a full-fledged Fire Elemental. (Enables Flight)
Weaknesses: Large bodies of water. He stays far away.
History: Before being summoned, Zeke remembers a fiery land where he and his comrades were engaged in many battles against diverse oppositions. 
Current status: Zeke wanders, travelling to have different experiences and satisfy his lust.
Likes: Battle, carnal pleasure, and drink.
Dislikes: Being stifled, and false beings.
Ons: Too much to mention, but nice eyes and curves are never a bad thing.
Offs: Tame women, unless he's breaking them.
Relations: Soulmate to Chastity
Additional: TBD

Funny video I found while I was looking for a song theme for Sargon Fulvious Vishous. Watch it all - an interesting suggestion for the game starts at 4:27.

[Sirian Eve]

I should have my character sheet up today.

Undine, your character is gorgeous.

[TheHangedOne]

Just a reminder, I am still up for making plots and plans with the Fae with anybody interested.  I also made an addition to his sheet, adding in his True Name. Only the Matron, and his Soul Mate, will get to know it at the start of the game (most people will just known him as Marigold), since having a Fae's True Name allows a lot of power over them.

[Sirian Eve]

Name: Joy (Calypso)
Gender: Female
Role:  Witch (Element of Light)
Race: Human, witch
Age: 21
Sexuality: Bisexual
Appearance: She stands a lovingly 5’7 when not wearing heels. Honey complexion sparkled with sunlight upon close inspection. Golden hair which she wears curly or straight. Joy likes to wear a lot of white clothing, it makes her feel more pure if anything. She also doesn't mind wearing hats.
Personality: Highly idealist and a visual learner at best. She lost her memory which makes her new family even more precious than before. She would do almost anything for her coven within reason. Strong willed and yet very naive. She has an idea of how the world is suppose to be, but has learned that what is and what is not can go hand in hand. She's also very nosy, liking to stick her nose in business not belonging to her with the best of intentions.
- Virtues: Determine, free spirited, always problem-solution oriented
- Vices: Easily trusting, can be hard headed and not very accepting of criticism.
Role traits: Photokinetic. Joy was gifted with the ability to channel the sunlight. She can bend light around herself and objects, rendering them invisible.
Powers: She often likes to make cool things with this ability such as whips, baubles and throwing darts that all disappear when she loses concentration.
Any form of light on all spectrums can be manipulated. Her ultimate power is called Primordial light, straight from the source of creation. It allows her to explode her light aura in various directions causing great harm, like a bomb, depending on the strength of her will.  The downside is the use of the ability is fatal. So she has never used it.
Weaknesses: Light energy is stored in her body, to much of it can kill her and to less of it can kill her.
She doesn’t like the darkness, it’s a great fear of her because she believes it would drain her to a weakened state.
History: Calypso is the daughter of a pirate lord who hailed from the southern islands off the coast of Africa. Her mother ,she never knew. It was rumored that she may have been a pirate too, or a captive who died in child birth. Her father named her Calypso after the sea goddess because it was that sea goddess that brought him much joy.

Her father's crew traveled among the trade routes when fortunate and stayed out of the eye of civilized governments. Calypso , like most children was curious. Curious about the lands and more so about sea. She had been born at sea and really had no nation to claim, but her father told her that the nation is not the land, but the blood that runs through her veins. So she grew up thinking she was actually the daughter of a sea goddess.

She learned many skills out at sea. Anything from fishing to  repairing broken ship parts. She even learned how to weild a sword. Growing up on sea however had left her curious about what life would be like if she lived on land. She was at the age where things like love and marriage filled her dreams. She wanted  more, so much more.

The next day was the brightest day she had ever witnessed. There was nothing but sea and sun and the crew began to grow weary of the heat. She searched the deck to look for her father and found him sitting at his desk. At this time she was 18 and developed a thorough knowledge of herself, but when her father showed her the black spot on his hand she didn't understand.

He told her that he was a cursed man and that before she was born he had did something awful. He would never have a life on land and neither would his crew. They were all cursed, but she could leave and live. Calypso was baffeled and scared.  He lead his daughter to the deck and pointed to the sun. His last words to her were to follow the sun and with that he pushed her off the ship into the water.

She washed up on the  sandy shores of some foreign land more dead than alive. The sun was beaming down on her and that's when her skin began to glow. Like she had been sprinkled with gold. Her dark hair turned gold and when she opened her eyes the were no longer brown, but as blue as the sea. Her honey complexion remained the same and she was astounded to find herself without any memory of how she got here on the beach.

Calypso couldn't remember her name, so she wandered. Calling herself Joy because it was the only thing in her mind at the time.  Joy took the cities finding work as a barmaid at an inn meeting all sorts of strange and odd people...(Now I stopped here because this is where I would like to get some input on how she became a coven witch. )


Current status: Part of the coven
Likes: The ocean, starry skies, romance novels, really tall men, swords, cats and horses. Sun bathing in the nude.
Dislikes: Zombies, thieves, the dark.
Ons: Very vanilla, being dominated by older men, rough/ passionate interactions in public places, voyeurism.
Offs: Toilet play, gore, gross things
Relations: TBA
Additional: Tangerine Dream- Loved by the Sun

[Amarlo]

Still seeking a female or has that role been filled? :)

[firepyre]

Hey Amarlo,

I think all the witches are more or less accounted for, but there's definitely hunter roles up for grabs.

The hunters are basically anything from sweeny todd, to van hellsing, to jekyll and hyde in terms of flavor. Open to all sorts of personality, from misguided heroic types, to something really dark, though we could especially use a good moral compass right about now. If you're interested, say the word, and we can get you filled in. The hunters may not have "soulmates", but there's room to explore romantic avenues all the same.

Other than that, perhaps Jane might have a few ideas...

[Undine]

Thank you Sirian, that is very kind of you to say!  <3

And I think, because being a daughter of the matron is so intrinsic to the characters of others?  I will leave Bilan to remain simply a very fortunate and rather talented young orphan - though thank you too Jane  :)  And now I have a PM or two to answer, regarding relations and such!  Anyone who wishes, please do feel free to contact me.

[Amarlo]

What sort of hunter roles have have been taken? What sort of personality types among them have been taken? If you don't mind me asking. ^^;

Admittedly I'm somewhat tempted by the betrayer role, but I also dislike the idea of committing to such a definitive role so early in the game. It'd be more like "Potential Betrayer" xD

[firepyre]

Funny you should mention about the betrayer, much the same has conclusion has been reached in the PM thread. It's definitely something on the table, if that's an angle you'd like to shoot for.

At this point in time we have:

The Alpha, played by Dreaming of Reality - Sheet TBA
Father Godfrey, played by Drake Valentine - https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=270069.msg13317104#msg13317104
Semyon Medvedev, played by Cold Heritage - https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=270162.msg13324235#msg13324235
The Seer, played by Skyre - Sheet TBA
And, (pause for dramatic effect ;p)
The Omega, played by yours truly - https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=270162.msg13317255#msg13317255

Personally, I'd love to see a few less corrupted, more morally aware hunters in the mix, but you're welcome to whatever takes your fancy.

Hope that helps!

[Amarlo]

Thanks! It does. I might just take your offer. I'll have to see what comes to me and I'll let you guys know within 24 hours. ^^

Edit:*

Side note, if anyone is interested in plotting with me and tying my character in with theirs somehow, I am totally not opposed. My pm box is always open. ^^ Friend, Enemies and anything in between are welcome! I love me some drama >D

[Sephiriel]

Everyone,

I have an important announcement to make.
Firepyre has leveled up to co-GM status due to wide merits in framing this game's plot, quite nicely if I do say so myself. Now before you start flooding his already full inbox, any 'administrative' questions and such will still be answered by yours truly and LordLuck. For anything having to do with the HUNTERS and perhaps major plot hooks/ideas you can PM either of us freely. You can all throw confetti at him now


Welcome Amarlo! We do need a female Hunter badly. It has been decided that the Betrayer role will be secretly handed by GM sometime within the game to keep things interesting for all Hunters. It is not mandatory to accept it! You can say no. As such, anyone who's at any point in the game interested in receiving the role can PM me about it and then keep it a secret if it's taken.
Consequently, two female Hunter NPCs are born and will discuss relationships for them with you too soon enough.


Zeke and Calypso are good to go to character thread! It's about time we have some Light in this dark, dramatic group :3 I see Calypso as being at least friends with Marigold/Thorment on that account if you two would like to plan anything of the sort.

Thank you TL for the link! Sadly can't check it on mobile yet, but I'll see what ideas I can draw from there after work :)

ANOTHER IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

I might be closing recruitment this weekend. There will be a bit of silence from my part around Sat and Sun as I am away on a trip and not sure about data signal and such. PM is always open though and I will answer all questions when possible. I would like within that time for you lovely players to finish your CS and work on relations and pairings as much as possible. Don't make me pair you up myself, you might not like it :3

Consequently, all info on game will be up soon, giving you all ample time to digest it before game starts.

[Amarlo]

Thanks!

And ugh! It is so hard to settle on a visual!

Edit:
Scratch that! I found my lady. :) I'm starting to work on my less evil character right now.

[Amarlo]

Sorry for the double post! I have mostly finished my character.

Meet

Valerie Drake

Name: Valerie Drake
Gender: Female
Role: Watcher - Hunter
Race: Human
Age: Appears to be in her mid twenties but is a good decade or two older
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Appearance: Valerie is shapely but petite, standing at an unimposing height of 5 feet and 3 inches. She has naturally dark raven hair that she abuses to no end with all manners of color. Her eyes are a pale green just ever so slightly tinged with blue, coaxing thoughts of the crystal clear shores on a cool autumn day. Along her back is a litany of scars covered by an elaborate display of ink at its finest. Upon first glance the large work appears to be little more than the wings of an angel, but upon closer inspection it becomes clear that the beaks of two ravens intersect at its apex rather than cartilage and bone.
Personality:
- Virtues: Observant, Agile, Clever
- Vices: Cautious to the point of paranoia at times, temperamental, stubborn, mercurial, compassionate, defiant
Role traits: Cloaking abilities, Illusionists, Mental powers, Precognition etc 
Powers:
Indomitable Will - She is impossible to mind control or influence by supernatural means. Not only is she immune to telepathic invasion, she can also face great physical pain and psychological trauma but continue to refuse surrender even if only in her own mind. In short only _____ can determine what she will and will not do.

Seals - This is less a power as much as it is a knowledge. There is a vast library of Glyphs and seals within her head and she uses them to her full disposal. Some of these glyphs can be placed on individuals, others must be placed elsewhere. There are multiple types with many effects, but they all have two things in common - they weaken or entrap her opponent. What makes them so dangerous within her hands and makes this more of a power is that there is something about her particular touch that seems to give them an extra oomph in power.

Enhanced Agility - Not only can Valerie process more quickly than most, this allows her to move more quickly. Her physical speed is not supernatural in itself, but her mental capacities allow her for quicker and more fluid reactions and movement. 

Weaknesses:
Traumatized - Valerie has been traumatized by her past in more ways than one. This can make certain topics more difficult for her to deal with.

Has a Type - Valerie is picky about who and what she hunts. She is a watcher not because she is incapable of anything else, but because she prefers to observe her prey before making any rash decisions. She refuses to make the same mistakes that had been made against her.

Closed off - She has trouble making and keeping friendships in the long run. Her social tactics aren’t always up to par with what’s typically considered the norm and some can take her generally mouthy exterior as a personal attack upon themselves. Pair this with the fact she often has very little to reveal about her history and her tendency to keep most people at arm's length, and you can guess she has a lot more acquaintances than actual friends.

Cursed - Or so she believes, at least.
History: Little is known of Valerie past her reputation amongst her fellow hunters beneath the Omega. (This section may change as connections are made and histories with other players are more fleshed out.) What is known is that she was once just as young and dumb as any other woman. She fell in love with a man she had absolutely no idea was taken by a very possessive and controlling witch. This almost sealed her fate and she came out of the whole ordeal with more than just emotional scars.
Current status: A Watcher of the Hunter association
Likes: Purple, blue, brain porn, astronomy, bread, grilled cheese, peaches and plums, getting the job done right, alternative fashion, being in control, books.
Dislikes: Witches, asshole hunters, asshole fiends, the Omega and Alpha, losing control, substance abuse, pineapple, collard greens, the scent of cigars, people that don't brush their teeth daily...
Ons: Same as player - please see link in signature
Offs: Same as player - please see link in signature
Relations: TBD
Additional: Forfeit - Chevelle
Ballad for Dead Friends - Dashboard Prophets
The Inner Light

I am currently wiiiide open for connections, so my pm box is also wide open for things! In the long run I'd like to see a romantic interest for her, but that doesn't mean I would be opposed to other things either. I'm perfectly content playing both a victim and a villain in this game. :)

[Imogen]

I wouldn't mind a couple more connections for the ever lovable demon. Feel free to spam my inbox if your character is looking for:

- someone to have traumatized them in the past
- an expert on all Hell related matters
- a fiend with 1900 years of battle and strategic experience aka previous fighting buddy
- someone who might have, at one time or other, attempted to corrupt/turn your character
- an ever polite gentleman, fond of debating philosophy, who they might consider harmless while unaware of what lurks underneath the charm.
- anything else you come up with and which we could discuss for possibilities

[Sephiriel]

Amarlo, 'tis ok (uh oh, Matron and other Telepaths better watch out) but not sure if you got the Victorian part right, action is set around 1900 or so, no sushi pizza or grunge fashion at the time (not so sure about pizza, think they had that) Well, fantasy Victorian in any case, some vintage grunge stuff may apply

Change those and you can post her in character thread.

Oh jeez! How embarrassing!  I'll change that right up asap! Haha. Lmfao. My apologies. ^^;

Marigold and Zsadist should team up and create a pizza delivery service for the eccentric, with a lot of minions working in the kitchen and delivering the treats with diet-heavy ingredients to their customers.. Of course, the courier also could be eaten for an additional fee.

[Sirian Eve]

Mmm I do see Calypso having a bond with Bilan and Marigold...
Also...some others.

[TheHangedOne]

@Sirian Eve feel free to PM me your thoughts, and we can work something out.

@Amarlo Oh my, she looks like so much fun. Though I will be rather curious to see how well she handles Reality Warping with her increased processing speeds.

@Imogen Well, pizza has been around since 1889, so depending on when the time period is set (if 1900) then we could simply be the forerunners of it in this part of the world. Mwahahaha. Now I must investigate about the earliest food parcel deliverers...

According to PizzaDelivery.com, in 1889, King Umberto and Queen Margherita had the privilege of getting the first known pizza delivered by Raffaele Esposito, the most famous Pizzaaiolo (pizza chef) in Naples, Italy

[Kokaine]

Alright, Xi has been updated and moved to the character thread.

I do believe I've answered the couple PMs I have, though I owe one for Undine. Xiomara is definitely open for connections still :)

[Sephiriel]

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

OOC THREAD IS OPEN
- plot and scheme away (if you haven't already), share ideas, pizza and relations 
- check out the other threads to have an idea of what the setting is like

It is MANDATORY to read the GENERAL INFO THREAD (work in progress)
- take into consideration Special Roles
- Shapeshifters and Telepaths check Character Communication (be aware of who else shares your powers)
- Daughters of the Matron and Elder check Blood Ties (also skyre 'cause he's The Seer)

Approved characters - post them in Character Thread (this means you TL and Pervy)

Jane is going on vacation for a couple of days. Brain is overwhelmed. Too much excitement for this game. Last but not least,

COMMIT TO THE STORY!
You've all worked so hard on your character sheets. On your plots and future interaction ideas. Heck, even the music themes are awesome! Please don't abandon the game mid-way unless Real Life issues prevent you from having fun here! If you get bored, end up disappointed with something, want something different to happen IC, had other expectations, get stuck, your Muse packed her bags - PLEASE PM ME. Or Luck, or Fire. We have a solution to everything. We will move mountains! I just want this story to go as much as possible towards its end (yes, there's one planned) and for all of you to have fun and enjoy creating it with us.



FYI - GAME NOT STARTING YET - and it's called The Searing Pact lol

[nailcrosser]

Can't resist, this sounds too fun. Count my interest as a Hunter, an avatar of virtue looking to save poor, lost, dark souls.

I see we have a Warrior, Tamer, and Watcher. I suppose I could make a Machinist but don't enjoy the steampunk angle. May make him a little more Frankenstein-esque. Any other Hunter function he could fulfill?

[Cold Heritage]

Warrior is a function that seems like a function that could never have too many of. There's seven Fiends to fight after all.
