Cid Kholler


Character Name: Cid Kholler
Age: 29 at the time of his death (280 years ago) and retains that appearance
Build: 5 ft 11 in / 159 lbs
Hair: Mid-brown
Eyes: Grey-blue
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Gender Identity: Cis male
Sexual Orientation: Straight but open-minded
Features: Small scar on his chin, large scar between his shoulder blades from a knife-wound



Face Claim: Tom Wlaschiha

Whisper Hill: Resident (Mayor)
Species: Ghost (former human)
Specific Traits:

  • Semi-incorporeal form - As a ghost, Cid is essentially nothing more than a shade. Normally, he appears semi-transparent and lacks colour to his form. However, the magic of Whisper Hill has given him the ability to become corporeal to a partial or full degree depending on how hard he concentrates on it.
  • Kindred of the dead - As well as being able to focus on becoming more physically present in the material world, Cid can also focus on receding further from the seen and known. This allows him to become entirely invisible and to pass through walls and physical objects. Just like becoming corporeal, this takes concentration and he can’t remain this way indefinitely. It’s like holding your breath. But most interestingly, when Cid recedes in this way, he can sometimes encounter other ghosts who cannot normally be seen.

Personality:

  • Pragmatic
  • Thoughtful
  • Patient
  • Likes to avoid unnecessary ball-ache at all costs
  • Dry sense of humour


Likes:

  • The good people of Whisper Hill
  • Bourbon
  • Smoked meat
  • Learning about people
  • Woodworking (not always easy for him…)
  • The sound of the rain

Dislikes:

  • Things being harder than they have to be
  • Emotively charged opinions
  • Skunks (he had a run-in once and is convinced they are evil)
  • Seafood
  • Reality TV

Secret: If Cid ever ceases to be mayor of Whisper Hill, his soul will move on forever. He doesn’t know where it will end up and that terrifies him.

How They Came to WHISPER HILL: Some 280 years ago, a young Austrian colonist named Cid Kholler followed his family into the mountains looking for a place to build a settlement. He became separated and wandered for a few nights, eventually finding himself in Whisper Hill. Astonished yet fascinated, he learned all he could about the people of the town and became quite popular himself.

At the time, the mayor of Whisper Hill was a rancorous vampire named Cattenmar. After a few drinks one night, Cid joked about running a campaign against Cattenmar in the upcoming sham-election. The vampire found out about this and had Cid stabbed in the back for daring to even joke about it. Cid's death caused an uproar as the people of the town realised just how much they had liked him. When the electrion came about, the majority of them put Cid's name on their ballot paper. When the result was announced, the vampire was furious and threatened the people with terrible consequences, since Cid was dead and therefore the vamp would take the position of mayor anyway. But the town's own magic intervened; Cid's spirit rose from the dead and he appeared at the podium, ready to accept the job of Town Mayor. Being a ghost, the vampire was unable to hurt or threaten him, and in any case, the Town has spoken. The vampire was stripped of his position and left the town, disgraced. Cid's spirit remains in town for as long as he holds the position of mayor…

Why They Came to WHISPER HILL: Largely by accident, while wandering after becoming separated from his family. This was in the 1740s, of course, while the USA was still “The United Colonies”. He's adapted with the times, however.

Character Ons: As per my thread
Character Offs: As per my thread

Desired Plots & Connections:

  • Getting to know other characters
  • Helping some people reach out to those who have died
  • Balancing the fact that the town doesn’t owe it to him to elect him mayor forever...but knowing the terrible personal price of losing the position
  • Developing a romance that has a tinge of complication and pathos, since Cid can only be corporeal for short amounts of time each day

Cid Kholler is approved. Our mayor is eternally good looking, you guys. Feel free to post him in the 'Approved Characters' thread when you get the chance. :)

DM Update:

- I updated the 'Taken Occupations List' on the main page. I've now listed the characters species, instead of their name. I've also noted which of you still needs to finish their CS, just for my own sanity. (The largest group I've ever run before this is six people...)
- I will be looking for another 4-5 players, but after that, recruitment is closed. If you are lurking, and want to play, please PM me to hold a spot until you are available.
- I've mentioned this to a few of you, but once your character is approved, you can chat on the OOC Thread. It's great for brain storming character interactions and relationships :3
- Also, each of you has free creative control over what your character's work environment looks like. For example, Callan gets to design the bar he works at. Oliver gets to design The Library. I will design the overall map of Whisper Hills in the next few days, but the interiors are all yours. Be as wonderfully weird as you want. Secret doors anyone?
- Last but not least, I am new to E, so thank you all for the hype and support on this little idea of mine. It means a lot :3

...There's always the sparkly kind.

-snigger-

I'm sitting on the fence. Tempted, but I'd probably have to make my exit from a couple of others official. Also, Flower might think I'm stalking her if I keep joining the same games... XD

I'll be watching.

You are my sweetest stalker haha.

Shane Forrester


Character Name:Shane Forrester
Age: 48
Build: 6 ft 1 in / 192 lbs
Hair:Salt and pepper. Lots of salt.
Eyes: Grey Blue
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Gender Identity: Cismale
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Features: Yes.

Face Claim:Timothy Omudson

Whisper Hill: Resident (Manages the club)
Species: Human, probably
Specific Traits:

  • Fated - Some kind of strange, immensely powerful, and extremely esoteric fae magics protect Shane from ill intent, and often others as well, merely by association. In practical terms, it's almost like he has plot armour, except it's readily apparent to anybody who pays attention. Things might not always go his way, but they always work out in the end.
  • Warped Perspective - When everything tends to work out, no matter how unlikely, it tends to alter one's worldview somewhat. As a result, Shane tends to be utterly unflappable, supremely confident, but also disconcertingly trusting, and prone to acting on his whims. He tends to be quick to jugde, though admittedly, he is usually impressively intuitive.
  • Drawn to Faery - The magic that protects him also draws him to Faery. Shane has a strange relationship with the realm, a kind of mastery over it that even the fae don't entirely understand. He can come and go between the worlds with unmatched ease; for him it is as simple as taking a stroll in the woods. He is beholden to no court, though he commands a degree of respect from all fae folk, who believe he must be a powerful being in his own right to enjoy such protections, even if they understand no more than he exactly how, or why.

Personality:

  • Dauntless
  • Whimsical
  • Nonchalant
  • Steadfast
  • Regal


Likes:

  • strange philosophy conversations
  • good music
  • good women
  • helping others, and giving often dubious advice
  • other eccentrics

Dislikes:

  • people who take things too seriously
  • jealosy, arrogance, and pettiness
  • screeching noises
  • Drunks and druggies
  • Disrespectful customers

Secret: Shane is favored by the Matres, a trio of powerful fae beings known by many other names including the fates, the norns, and also the morregai. Though he does not yet know it, they have determined that he is to be their destined husband, furture king of the fae folk, and the one to reunite the courts. Why they chose him, an otherwise apparently ordinary human is a mystery known only to them. In any case, Shane knows none of this and may well have ideas of his own.

How They Came to WHISPER HILL: Shane stumbled into whisper hill by pure luck, or at the very least not by his own design. He is a man who walks the paths between worlds,  and not all paths lead to the same place - indeed, most who walk the paths never find their way back. In any case, he came to Whisper Hill on one such wandering, encountering the townsfolk for the first time. It was during this time that he first stayed at the establishment he now runs. Long story short; he didn't much like how the previous owner did things, so he took it over, and has looked after the girls ever since. Weird as it might seem from the outside, he sees it as almost a sanctuary.

Why They Came to WHISPER HILL: It was probably inevitable for Shane to be drawn to Whisper Hill eventually. Much like Faery, Whisper Hill thrums with innate magic, which calls to him subconsciously. You might as well ask why a plant grows in soil, or why a fish swims in water. A better question would be why he stays, but that too has a simple answer - it feels like home.

Character Ons: I'm going to take a step away from my norm on this one. Shane is a big ol' Daddy. He likes being seen as a father figure, head of the household, and he's rather protective, and encouraging of his girls. He's not terribly romantic, though he's not opposed to a bit of comfort cuddling, and watch out if you've been bad.

Character Offs: Bestiality, snuff, vore, underage, coprophagia; all the usual stuff. Anything else is negotiable, though I want to go for a vaguely daddy dom feel this time.

Desired Plots & Connections:

  • Finding someone to help him look after the club, and eventually take over one day, should he not return from his wanderings
  • more dancers and/or security for the club
  • troubles to get tangled up in around whisper hill or the club
  • An encounter with a disguised Matre. He has only encountered one of them thus far, who posed as his childhood sweetheart, and first led him into faery.
  • meeting and befriending(or not so much) the stranger residents of whisper hill

Sweet. Working on her now...but have a question for you. How long has the town been in place? As a dryad, it is my thought to have her be from a tree that was there prior to the town's formation...

One of the things I love about Whisper Hills is that none of its details are set in stone. =3 Adds to the mysticism.

Mayor Cid came across the thriving town in the 1740's. So its been there for at least 300 years, but probably more. I guess it really depends on how old you want your Dryad to be. I would say that a powerful Dryad, tapping into their nature magic, could live as long as a tree, which... I mean, some of the one's where I'm from can be as old as 600 years. :)

I am using this for her base. I don't want a buncha stuff power-wise and the average dryad is already pretty damned powerful.

So thank ya!! Now i know how to word it.

That's how I've thought of Dryads too (DnD treats them more as playful spirits sometimes or just nymphs, which I don't agree with, but whatever).

Especially their mortality. In Whisper Hill, Phoenixes are the only true immortal creature. Everything else, even those that have an extended lifespan, can be killed -- it just requires a lot of effort in some cases. For Dryads, if their forest is permanently demolished, bye bye Dryad. Otherwise, they can live for hundreds of years. :3

Looking forward to meeting her!
