Villainville: A Suburb Most Sinister [Recruiting]

[Chaosfox]

I think that if  I go with my Dr. Jekyll idea they could probably be good friends with the witch maybe paying her  more then she would normally be paid to  produce the serum they use to control their transformation. As I said though I kind of want to do a twist with the character if I use them.  Just throwing out an idea though.

[PentheWonderful]

I'm definitely interested! I'm considering making a retired siren who is now a famous popstar that uses her singing to hypnotize her way onto the top of the music chart and movie roles! Before that, she was luring thousands to their deaths at sea, but eventually, people stopped sailing through her haunt and the ocean got so polluted that she had to move out

[Vergil Tanner]

Name: Dimitrius Argento Luciferius Maranzano VI
Nicknames: Dimitrius, Dimitri, Sir, Master, Daddy
Alias: The Raven
Date of Birth: December 16th
Place of Birth: London, England

Age: 51
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Faceclaim: David Gandy


Appearance:

Dimitrius Maranzano is a deceptively large man; he is often found lounging in his favourite chair or behind some desk or other, which serves to disguise his true size and stature from those who ordinarily size him up. When he draws himself to his full height, however, people are often surprised to find that the ordinarily even-tempered, seemingly mild-mannered gentleman stands at a towering 6'6, with broad shoulders and surprisingly wide arms enough that he easily weighs around 270lbs. The fact that he is 51 – old for a crimeboss in his neck of the woods – seems to not bother him, as his body is in as good a condition as its ever been. A mixture of magic, healthy eating and regular exercise has kept him spry and powerfully built, though he very rarely resorts to physical violence personally. He has a sharp, well defined jawline, bright, piercing sky blue eyes and a head of luscious dark hair that is slowly beginning to show signs of fading into a grey-silver type of colour. Rather than hiding this loss of colour like some insecure men, he actively flaunts it, working it into his overall style to make himself look more distinguished and experienced.

When seen dressed, he is rarely caught outside of an elegant, formal, expensive suit that highlights his well-built form and compliments his figure. Fashion is one of the first things people see about you, after all, and a well-dressed, clearly wealthy individual of impeccable taste elicits certain reactions and responses from people even if they don't realise it on a conscious level. Besides, he just likes dressing his best. When out of his clothes, it can be seen that his body has several noticeable scars that he has taken no effort to disguise; several gunshot wounds, two or three incision scars from surgeries to repair internal damage, a couple of knife wounds and even one reasonably sized burn on his left ribcage. Beyond his scars, Dimitrius's body is adorned with only one decoration; a spreading black raven wing stretching from his shoulder and chest down the length of his upper arm, seemingly spreading out from the centre of his body. Whilst it might seem like that is intended to cover up his scars, a closer inspection indicates that the tattoo is much, much older than most of his oldest wounds.


Personality:

Dimitrius is an old crimeboss, which means he's either very lucky, very dangerous...or both. People who cross him will find that he is very much the latter. He is cool, calm, collected, and controlled, viewing people from afar rather than allowing familiarity to cloud his judgement. He expects to be obeyed the moment he speaks, and oftentimes, that is exactly what happens. It isn't that he's unfriendly or rude; he is simply an analytical intellectual who has little time for pointless games and people who believe themselves to be clever just because they can string a witty word or two together. He is, however, formal, polite and engages people with the warmth and welcoming respect that he believes they have earned; whilst his smile often doesn't reach his eyes, he is a genial and affable enough individual so long as you have not given him reason not to be. Despite being intelligent and measured, however, it cannot be said that he is cruel, condescending or uncaring; if you find yourself under his employ, he will treat you fairly, with the respect that your attitude and your skill deserve. He will always attempt to do right by you, since for him, loyalty is one of the most important traits of all...and loyalty is a two way street.

To his friends, he is genuinely warm and compassionate and often entertains parties and gatherings at his holdings for the community around him. Whilst many in his position have attempted outreach programs as a method of control and ingratiation with the locals, Dimitrius seems to genuinely want the best for his community. His own illegal actions notwithstanding, he rarely acts in a way that deliberately harms the people around him more than necessary. Whilst his network was undoubtedly immoral and illegal, he also served to keep the crime in his territory under control; murders happened only when necessary, sexual crimes were punished brutally and the sexworkers under his employ were protected, given a fair wage and were allowed out if they wanted out.

His friendly demeanour does bely a more sardonic side, however; his wit is biting at times, though he rarely means it in a condescending manner, and he sometimes - when comfortable - displays a sardonic, ironic, or sarcastic sense of humour that most people are not prepared to deal with. Despite his aloof stoicism, he has a great deal of inner passion and drive that does not usually display itself in any way other than his relentless determination and commitment to his ideals of chaos, self-fulfilment, self-determination and the combatting of autocratic authoritarianism. Order is important, but chaos must be given its place to grow or humanity as a whole will stagnate and die. Those who try to halt progress will inevitably be left behind by it.

Strengths:

Dimitrius is intelligent and ruthless, able to pick apart vulnerabilities and flaws in a moment and exploit them for maximum gain. He never seems to question the necessity of his actions, and always portrays a confident and calculated air. His body is in extremely good shape for his age, too, meaning that he can keep up with – and often surpass – much younger but lazier men. His commanding presence often makes people defer to him rather quickly, and combined with his clear, powerful way of speaking, he is used to getting his way. His men are loyal to a fault too, knowing that their boss will have their back no matter what. He has trained extensively in several martial arts and has made certain that he is a skilled marksman with several different weapons; whilst not a master by any means, it means that hopefully he should be able to survive an assassination attempt long enougth to escape. Thanks to his smuggling and arms connections, his men also tend to be much better equipped than his contemporaries. His determination is also cast-iron strong; if you attempt to break his will, you might well find that the easier course of action would be to try and divert the Amazon river. Once he has his mind set on something...only death will stop him from achieving it.


Weaknesses:

His loyalty, for one, can be used against him; many mob bosses will dispose of their soldiers like pawns in a game of best-of-500 chess, but Dimitrius carefully weighs up the sacrifice of every single piece. This could be used to position him in a no-win scenario, or to force him to give himself up if enough of his soldiers' lives were at stake. Furthermore, he is getting old. Eventually, his body will no longer be able to keep up no matter how much he trains. His magical abilities take an even greater toll on him with every passing year, making his use of them necessarily sparing. He can also at times become a little overconfident in his position, though exploiting that hole might be harder than you expect. He is also, despite his magic, an ordinary human; a well placed claw or bullet or blade will end his life as surely as any other human. He has no special resistances or defences in that regard.

Powers:

Dimitrius was not born with superpowers, he was not born with an eidetic memory or the ability to speed or slow time or super strength or anything of the sort. He is not an alien, a mutant, the descendent of a long-dead King or any other such shortcutting tripe. Everything he can do, he earned the hard way. His intelligence and attention to detail? Practice, practice, practice that he keeps up to this day to prevent himself getting dull. But in this world of superheroes and aliens and gods and monsters...the average man can easily find himself overwhelmed. So, he did what any determined intellectual would do; he sought out a likeminded master and studied in the mystic arts. He has a formidable command of magic, focusing mostly on the non-verbal elements of sorcery. Whilst he knows a few spoken spells, his speciality lies in the exertion of his own willpower over the conjuration of external effects. This grants him a powerful level of telekinesis, allowing him to move, lift and stop individuals in their tracks, create sturdy barriers, create telekinetic projectiles and several other more minor abilities. As noted, he can utilise spoken magic, conjuration and the like, but they are not his area of expertise. Of course, any extensive use of his powers does tend to exhaust him quickly, and risks drawing the attention of some of his magic-wielding enemies, so at the moment he tends to keep their use to a hard minimum. Beyond that, he has been able to utilise low level magic to slow his ageing and preserve some degree of his youth...though immortality is still beyond his grasp.

Backstory:

Not much is known about Dimitrius' history or early life. He keeps any information about himself carefully guarded and kept exclusive to him and just a handful of his closest confidantes, in case anybody were to try and use his history against him. Any information that is known is either rumour, or snapped from conversation and pieced together after the fact, though the reliability is suspect. Even his face is only a rumour in most circles, considering that charges have never stuck and any time he was suspected of being the enigmatic “Raven,” he was cleared of all charges. Whilst some heroes do indeed know who he is, convincing the media of the truth of such statements has been difficult to say the least. The following information is what has been preliminarily established from both information gleaned from wiretapped calls, interrogated prisoners and federal records.

Dimitrius was born 51 years ago to the Moretti crime family in New York City to Francesco Lugiosa Moretti and Maria Maranzano as part of a strategic marriage between the long-feuding Italian-American and Anglo-Italian arms of the wider international family tree. He grew up alongside his older brother Antonius in the streets of London, where his mother lived, in an attempt to groom him and his brother for leadership in a safer environment where they would be safe from the gangwars raging in the underworld of the United States. The plan was apparently to train them, groom them and prepare them, then introduce them as already-grown men when the risk of early assassination was lower. They ran in several streetgangs as children, including one by the name of “The Eastside Talons;” this is where the brothers received their matching tattoos of a large feathery wing. It did not take long for Dimitrius's brains and Antonius's brawn to seize control of the streetgang, and by the time they were due to leave for the States, they had a miniature empire of their own.

Upon reaching the states, the brothers made a name for themselves by eliminating one of the rival families that had been giving the Morettis a tough time, moving in and establishing themselves as the new bosses of the borough. They brought it into the fold, as it were, but were allowed to run it as an effectively independent crime syndicate that paid tribute to the larger Moretti family, likely as a test to see whether they could handle the power that came with being a crimeboss. They flourished in their new roles, and whilst the brothers often disagreed over the best course of action, their arguments were only ever behind closed doors. By all accounts, in public they took pains to present a united front. Eventually, the time came for their father to hand down the reigns to somebody else, as he was getting too old to properly manage the affairs of the house. He elected to hand down the power to his oldest son, as was tradition, with Dimitrius serving as a close advisor and second in command. Dimitrius did not mind – it was his brother who was the face of their miniature family, after all, and he operated better as the mind behind the throne – and continued to serve his family loyally in the years that followed.

Alas, a crime lord's life is rarely a long one, and it was not long before a rival family successfully assassinated Antonius and left the family rudderless. According to tradition and Antonius's final wishes, he handed down his power to his son, Caralinus. Like his father, Caralinus – or “Carl” as he insisted he be called – was reckless, headstrong and cocky, often rushing in first and stopping to think later. Unlike his father, he did not hold a particularly strong attachment to his uncle and often ignored his advice or insulted him outright. Dimitrius disliked how Carl led the family, but stayed loyal out of love for his brother...until after one particularly brutal operation, Carl decided to blame Dimitrius for the failure, likely because Dimitrius had publicly argued against one of Carl's more vicious and brutal decisions earlier that month. This was not new – Carl often blamed Dimitrius for his own shortcomings – but it was different. Despite the deaths of dozens of his men being directly Carl's fault – a result of him failing to heed his uncle's advice – Carl decided that Dimitrius was to blame and that he had to be punished for “the latest in a long line of failures.”

Dimitrius and a handful of loyal retainers escaped in the ensuing bloodbath, and absconded across the country, licking their wounds and contemplating what came next. Disgusted with what the Moretti name had become known for – published widely as murderers and the killers of the innocent, thanks to Carl's petty, spiteful nature and need to massacre anybody who he perceived to stand in his way – he decided to change his name from his birth name to “Dimitrius Argento Lucianus Maranzeno,” after his maternal grandfather and leader of the Anglo-Italian mob in Europe. He moved to New Orleans and took advantage of a recent gangwar to eliminate and supplant the battered and broken Burtanellis. Before the other families could step in, Dimitrius had established himself as the new power in smuggling and arms dealing, building himself into the fabric of organised crime in the area. He recruited any surviving members of the now-defunct Burtanellis, and declared a new regime, splintering from the Moretti family. What followed was several decades of rising power in the Louisiana area, eventually extending his reach nation wide...and eventually, creating powerful alliances across three different continents.

He and his family often came into conflict with various do-gooders and heroes, and whilst his business was often negatively affected by the interference, he himself always managed to evade if not capture, then conviction, partly due to his great deal of influence over politicians, billionaires and media moguls alike. Along the way, he honed his talents and skills, and – after the increasing rise of superpowered individuals and meddling heroes – decided he needed to even the playing field. Add onto that the increasing conflict with the Moretti family and his nephew – though his nephew is still, to Dimitrius's knowledge, unaware that his dear uncle is the mysterious “Raven” - and he needed an edge. To that end, he set out on a pilgrimage to a remote island in the Atlantic ocean to learn the mystic arts of the mind from another villain who had long since decided to retire himself. Dimitrius returned several years later – after being believed dead by the wider hero community – more dangerous than ever.

His family did fracture and collapse once or twice in his battles against the meddling heroes, but he was always able to take advantage of the resulting chaos to rise from the ashes stronger than before...until two years ago, that is. After a particularly brutal battle with a certain hero who cared not one whit about bringing him in alive, Dimitrius was rendered bed-ridden for several months. His empire ticked along well enough without him – his designated successor proving more than capable of keeping things running – but it gave him some much needed perspective. He was getting old, and if he ever wanted to enjoy the frankly ludicrous amount of wealth he had accrued, he needed to get out of the game while he still could. Heroes were becoming increasingly willing to simply kill the villains instead of putting them behind bars, and it only took one lucky bullet to finish him off. So...he retired. He handed control to his lieutenants and designated successor, and stepped back into the shadows to enjoy his retirement....although, he does still enjoy pulling strings and profiting off of certain deals and introductions as and when he can. What can he say? Old habits die hard.

There we go! Hopefully that's acceptable!


If it's ok, I'd really like him to be the president of the HOA. The image of a retired crimeboss being in charge of the HOA just tickles me xD

[Foxy DeVille]

I think that if  I go with my Dr. Jekyll idea they could probably be good friends with the witch maybe paying her  more then she would normally be paid to  produce the serum they use to control their transformation. As I said though I kind of want to do a twist with the character if I use them.  Just throwing out an idea though.

twist away! And thinking of connections is good.

I'm definitely interested! I'm considering making a retired siren who is now a famous popstar that uses her singing to hypnotize her way onto the top of the music chart and movie roles! Before that, she was luring thousands to their deaths at sea, but eventually, people stopped sailing through her haunt and the ocean got so polluted that she had to move out

That definitely has potential. Maybe superfans and paparazzi begin to pop up in town, much to the chagrin of her neighbors.

There we go! Hopefully that's acceptable!


If it's ok, I'd really like him to be the president of the HOA. The image of a retired crimeboss being in charge of the HOA just tickles me xD

He looks good, and I'm not just talking about the face claim (David Gandy... *sigh*). If you could add some O/O's that would be cool so we know interests and boundaries and stuff. And I too am tickled at that idea so he can the Godfather President of the HOA.

[Vergil Tanner]

I've added some basic O/o, but he generally speaking follows my more dominant kinks and stays away from my more submissive ones. xD

But yay! The HOA-DaddyFather! That's going to be funny to play xD

[Mael]

-throws hat into the ring to show interest-

The character I'm throwing in is one already previously established with Dimitrius in another game, but I'd love to bring her over here as his PA/confidante :)

The character I'm throwing in is one already previously established with Dimitrius in another game, but I'd love to bring her over here as his PA/confidante :)

That would work, connections are good and assistants/henchpeople/consiglieres/sexy arm candy for a villain are welcome.

[Vergil Tanner]

Oh, she is delicious arm candy >u>

But that isn't to say that Dimitrius isn't available! If anybody wants a connection - sexual or non-sexual - don't hesitate to let me know! I am open to all kinds of connections and relationships, be they pre-existing or to be developed in the future!

The Wicked Witch in particular is looking mighty tasty. That booty gif is...actually kinda hypnotic. xD I caught myself watching it for a good thirty seconds without realising it had been thirty seconds xD

[Vergil Tanner]

So I was thinking about possible connections, since Dimitrius has been in Villainville for the last couple of years.

The easy one is with Foxy's character, since she's an active part of the community. If she views Villainville as her little fiefdom, that does present a interesting dynamic question for her and Dimitrius. They're both used to being in charge, after all, and are both very manipulative and intelligent characters. Whilst Dimitrius isn't petty and is more than content to "share" the town, the question arises whether Evelyn would feel the same way. Would she view him as a threat to her control, and thereby seek to undermine and destroy him? Would she see him as a potential ally, and try to "woo" him into an alliance, as it were? Dimitrius is a crime boss - and an old one at that - so manipulating him is likely to be difficult. Would that infuriate Evelyn, or intrigue her? Really, Dimitrius's behaviour with Evelyn will largely depend on what angle she ends up taking with him. Being older and less concerned with control, he's likely not going to interfere with her plans that much, and he's a genial, friendly, polite individual in most of his dealings with other people. But would the presence of somebody she can't manipulate as easily - and somebody with his own form of power and influence - rub her the wrong way, or would they end up getting along rather well? Would it be friends, or enemies? Rivals or allies? Maybe a mixture of both? I can go either way, though Dimitrius would have likely at least attempted to form an understanding, at the very least, as soon as he gets wind of her influence in the area.
What do you think, Foxy? If it helps, he has some contacts in the drug trade. xD


The tricky one is Blaine, Ihinka. I originally thought you were going for an outright hero who gets involved in villains' shizz for a living, so I was considering suggesting an old rivalry there. However, after reading the bio more closely, it looks like she didn't really get involved that much in that way (Unless I'm missing something?). Why is Blaine coming to Villainville, may I ask? Is there perhaps room in her backstory for an interaction with Dimitrius, or will their first crossing of paths happen in-game, do you think? Again, I can go either way, I'm just curious as to your thoughts on the matter ^_^

[PentheWonderful]

Alright, here she is!

Name: Clara De Vries
Alias: Siren Queen
Occupation: Famous Popstar and Hollywood Actress
Age: Several centuries old, but appears to be in her mid-twenties
Nationality: Greek
Gender: Female
Orientation: Heterosexual

Appearance: With fair porcelain skin, long, slender limbs, Clara stands at an impressive height of 5’11 and a meagre weight of 150 lbs. She is not the most endowed in her womanly form – unless she chooses to be, of course - but is nonetheless an ethereal creature. With legs that go on for days, she moves with purpose and confidence. Despite having existed for many ages, this mythical creature retains quite a youthful appearance. With her large, beckoning, baby blue eyes and soft tresses of champagne blonde hair that falls to her waist in natural, loose waves, one would assume she was barely out of her early twenties. However, her frail looking appearance and melodic laughter are all dangerously deceptive. In reality, she is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The way she projects herself onto the world can change at the drop of a hat. With her shoulders back and her chin held high, she projects a regal and surprisingly sturdy appearance as she glides across the room, but once her shoulders are squared, and her head is held down, she instantly transforms into a mousy young woman. Of course, that is not the only transformation she can do. Due to her abilities, she can transform herself into the appearance one most desires. Be it red hair, brown eyes, or a curvier figure! However, her true form is that of a siren: a creature with razor sharp teeth, talon-like claws, scales and fins! It all depends on the role she is playing, or the people she is interacting with. As for her clothes, you will often find Clara in a variety of eclectic clothing. On stage as a star, she wears only the most extravagant clothing custom-made for her by the finest designers. Offstage, however, she tends to prefer loose-fitting clothes that conceal her overall form. Oversized sweaters, big glasses, and simple trousers are her go-to when she's trying to avoid being recognized.

Personality: Clara is what one might call a chameleon. She can blend into the background or stand out against the crowd at will. She is a gifted actress who is capable of emulating any persona she wishes. In front of the cameras, she is a confident, graceful, elegant woman with the ability to captivate any man or woman with her dazzling gaze. Charming, witty, but also very private and secretive, Clara is a calculating woman. She will go out of her way to appear charitable, donating to various humanitarian and non-profit organizations – though she has a particular passion to ocean conservation efforts – to appeal to the public and is never short on money despite her supposed ‘humble beginnings’ as an orphan. As much as she parades herself to enjoy her glamorous lifestyle, in reality, she has much more sinister ulterior motives. Deep down, she has a ruthless and vengeful streak stemming from melancholy toward losing her home and subjects. Being the experienced villain that she is, she has quite a penchant for playing the long game, and once she sets her mind on something, she does not stop until she has achieved it. As a result of losing her home and everyone she loved, she has become jaded and distrusting, avoiding any offers of companionship and choosing to isolate herself in her luxurious mansion for the most part. Large, but empty. Much like her life. Her self-imposed isolation left her in a vulnerable state of being, longing for company and warmth and yet, unable to trust that the favour would be returned. She is paranoid and anxious, fearful of dying alone but also fearful of being betrayed. She is in a constant state of turmoil with her own mind. Despite what her starlet persona and (secret) royal background might have you believe, Clara is quite a withdrawn, shy young woman in constant doubt of herself. She overthinks and over-worries, but she has a big heart when it comes to caring for others. She is a devoted companion who will not hesitate to utilise her wealth or influence to their aid and has no second thoughts in spending exorbitant amounts of money to buy gifts for her loved ones to make them happy. She dreams of one day being reunited with her kind and no longer having to spend her days in solitude. Perhaps having someone to spend her immortal life with as well. In that sense, Clara is a hopeless romantic who dreams of her fairytale ending. Unfortunately, the only person keeping her from it is herself.

Backstory: Little is known to the public about the past of the famous celebrity Clara De Vries. Some have said she was an orphan child with prodigal skills who was discovered by a music producer and quickly rose to fame. Others have said she came from a wealthy background of noble lineage. In truth, all of them were correct. Though, not entirely. Once a fearsome monster regaled in Greek mythology, Clara comes from a long line of royal lineage among her kind. Her great, great, grandmother, in fact, was a member of Poseidon’s court, and through their relations, they received mountains of wealth that helped their kingdom prosper. But, eventually times changed. The gods departed for Elysium and left the mortal realm as fewer and fewer people paid offerings to them. The sirens remained, however, and so did their kingdom, which continued to prosper long after their departure and soon expanded upon and took over Poseidon’s domain. Born to the kingdom’s previous matriarch, Tatiana Seirena, Clara was destined to inherit the throne and rule the seas in her mother’s stead. Even from a young age, she was able to lure in sailors to their demise with her hypnotic voice, known throughout the seas as the most bewitching and powerful of all siren songs. As a ruler, she was a confident and authorative figure: wise and revered, renowned even by human sailors who would tempt fate simply for a glance upon her magnificent beauty. Of course, none of them had ever lived to tell the tale, but at the very least, they made for wonderous feasts for all the kingdom to enjoy. But once again, time would prove to be their undoing.

As technology advanced, human boats became bigger and bigger, utilizing stronger and stronger material that did not succumb so easily to coral or rocks, and becoming more adept at avoiding those treacherous terrains. They sailed further and further away from their usual passes and haunts, and food was becoming scarce. They made do with whales, sharks or other seafood, but even their numbers had begun to dwindle. And so, their hunting parties travelled further and further away, but seldom ever returned. And if that wasn’t bad enough, they were soon exposed to waves upon waves of litter and toxic chemicals, dumped into the seas by humans, and killing nearly all of the remaining survivors. Eventually, Clara had to come to the difficult decision of evacuating her subjects out of their home, and migrating to land for their only chance of survival. Along the way, they lost even more numbers to fishing boats and whalers, and by the time they arrived on land, Clara could count the remaining survivors with the fingers on her hands. She was fortunate to have Poseidon’s blessing in her bloodline which allowed her to retain her memories and sirenic abilities even as a human, but the others were not so fortunate. The longer they stayed on land, the weaker their powers became until eventually, they lost all memory of who – or what - they were. And just like that, Clara’s greatest fear was realized: she was the last one of her kind.

This awoken a darkness within her, a bloodthirsty desire for vengeance upon those who had wronged her, and after decades of plotting and learning mankind’s ways, she put her plan into motion. Using the fortune and countless treasures left behind from her kingdom, she garnered significant amounts of wealth and began expanding her influence. She gained titles and land, networked with powerful people, and began her plan to bring about the extinction of mankind by luring them all to their demise, just as her people had. Over the years, she has succeeded in vacating entire villages and towns, causing mass drownings or suicides with her hypnotic singing. Afterwards, she would adopt a new identity and start all over again in a new town. Thus, she has adopted various identities over the centuries, using the mass deaths as a cover up to start as someone new. However, there were far too many humans in the world and far too many cities to visit before arousing suspicion. Somehow, she needed to be able to broadcast her singing all over the world and send all humans to their deaths at once. It was then that she soon discovered the incredible reach that celebrities had all over the world. Everyone in all the corners of the globe would tune into their performances, their songs would be played on the radios and public spaces and distributed in stores. So surely, if she were to become famous enough, she would be able to broadcast her hypnosis all over the world and bring all of them to their end!

And so, using her wealth, she made her debut as a breakout singer and quickly gained a cult following thanks to her incredible voice. From there, she has landed various opportunities such as modelling for fashion shows, magazine photoshoots, and even major movie roles. All she has to do now is expand her reach far enough…

She moved to Villainville for respite from in between movie deals and concert tours, purchasing a gorgeous classical mansion on the hills. The high life was fun, but a bit of peace and quiet every now and again was very much appreciated, and this gated community seems to be the best place for people like… Her. Since moving in to Villainville, there has been an influx of paparazzi and reporters flocking to the neighbourhood, which may be a bit of an annoyance to her neighbours. However, they soon find that those who travel up to her mansion uninvited often don’t return…

Skills: Clara is especially gifted in the performance arts. She can pick up any dance move or learn any song in a matter of minutes. She is adept in playing various musical instruments such as the guitar, piano, violin, and her preferred instrument, the lyre. She is also a gifted songwriter, and has, in fact, written many of her hit songs herself. She is an incredible actress and model, capable of pulling off any outfit or role. Naturally, she is also an incredible swimmer with enough lung capacity to break the world free-diving record 10 times over. Without her gills!

Powers: As a siren, Clara is able to breathe underwater and possesses a hypnotic singing voice that can compel others into doing her bidding. Her voice is one of her greatest strengths, as she is also able to mimic any voice she wishes and use it to speak any human language. She also has minor shapeshifting abilities, allowing her to transform into her siren form completely or partially, or to manipulate her appearance into one that would make her appear more attractive to whoever she is interacting with. Due to Poseidon’s blessing, she is also able to control water, giving her hydrokinetic abilities.


Weakness: Due to her dainty physique, Clara is not the most physically powerful villain around. If you get into a tussle with her, she would be relatively easy to apprehend. Not to mention, she, unfortunately, does not have any knowledge of self-defence outside of using her powers. Because she is a creature of the sea, she doesn’t tend to do very well in arid, hot environments. Although Poseidon’s Blessing has allowed her to retain her sirenic powers and memories, this has bound her indefinitely to the sea, meaning that staying too long out of seawater may possibly spell her demise. Although her hypnotic singing is powerful, its potency is limited by the person’s attraction to her. That is to say, a gay man would be more difficult for her to compel than a straight man. ‘Attraction’ in this sense does not always have to be romantic or sexual. Admiration is enough for her to exert control over her victims – though it isn’t as effective as sexual or romantic attraction - hence why has to present an amicable image to the public. After all, attraction is not limited to physical appearance! Though she is very calculated, she is still prone to bouts of anger where her heart precedes her head, making her easy to manipulate in such occasions. Additionally, although she is able to sustain herself on regular food, her primary diet as a siren is still human flesh, thus she needs to consume a human every now and again to sustain her strength.

The tricky one is Blaine, Ihinka. I originally thought you were going for an outright hero who gets involved in villains' shizz for a living, so I was considering suggesting an old rivalry there. However, after reading the bio more closely, it looks like she didn't really get involved that much in that way (Unless I'm missing something?). Why is Blaine coming to Villainville, may I ask? Is there perhaps room in her backstory for an interaction with Dimitrius, or will their first crossing of paths happen in-game, do you think? Again, I can go either way, I'm just curious as to your thoughts on the matter ^_^

Blaine left N'awlins to go back to her native Ireland in search of information on whoever cursed that werewolf who slaughtered her family and ended up turning her. Eventually her leads there dried out. But throughout her research this one town in the US kept popping up, with red flags attached to it. Blaine might or might not have had a gut feeling that she will find the answers she seeks in that town. She had no more business in Ireland. And the US was effectively her home now, even if she no longer had a place with the N'awlins pack. So she decided to set up shot there, literally as a carpenter/woodcarver, and figuratively. And stake out the goings on in Villainville. For all intents and purposes, she will appear as one of the townies. But with a twist

AH RIGHT. She spent a lot of time in N'awleans! How long ago was that, and how long? Just thinking, New Orleans was where Dimitrius spent the majority of his career - a good ten years or so - so if you wanted them to have at least crossed paths in some regard, they potentially lived in the same area for a time?

Blaine spent most her life in NO. Her aunt took her there after the rabid were attack. Blaine was nine at the time. And she lived there up until she left for Ireland, which was around two years prior to game start date, I suppose. She's 41 for reference. Don't make me do math. I'll do it wrong I'm not sure in what sort of circles would they have had the opportunity to have crossed paths. As a Coastie Blaine would have spent most of her time on ships and at sea. I suppose she might have heard of The Raven. About the only thing I can think of is if he knew of her through her carpentry/woodcarving.

An aside note. I see you have his age listed as 51, but throughout the profile it mentions 48

[Vergil Tanner]

Yeah, I just changed it because I realised that some of his maths doesn't add up unless I add a couple of years to his age xD

But hmmm, well, Dimitrius would have appeared to be a legitimate businessman too. Like, respectability through the media. So maybe one of his legitimate businesses did business with her or the Coastguard? I mean, the coastguard would also have been responsible for ship-borne smuggling, which The Raven would definitely have been involved with...Maybe he bought the occasional chair from her? xD

My point was, he seems too high level for Blaine to have personally come into contact with him. Be it in his legitimate businessman role or his crimeboss role. Her being a Coast Guard is why I said she might know of the Raven. But other than that, unless the man does his own furniture and/or woodcarvings purchases, I don't see how they would have managed to come across each other.

If you wanted him to have displayed interest in some of her woodcarvings, or have commissioned some vintage furniture from her, I'm cool with that.

[Vergil Tanner]

I can see him comissioning some stuff from her. He has his own interior design advisor, but he likes to shop for his furniture personally. It will be in his house, after all! So he could have easily commissioned some work from her at some point ^_^

[ihinka]

Then let's go with that

[Vergil Tanner]

Sounds like a plan! ^o^

[Chaosfox]

Ok so I am going to need a bit help with my character.  Well mostly Face Claim wise.... to be honest it is  at time the hardest part for me and my character idea  will need two and one has to be male the other female. To kind of explain the twist I have for Dr.Jekyll. So since the original character lived in 1800's and no actual date was given besides the 1800's so I was thinking of saying it took place in 1886. It does not really say the time span of the book but based off what I have looked at (as it''s been some time since I red  it). Any way regardless of how much time passed in the original story the whole reason for giving it an actual year  is  My spin on the character is going to be more a decedent of  Dr.Jekyll.

Yes I know he never  had any actual children but Hyde slept with prostitutes so who is to say they did not have kids from that, any way basically my idea is my character was able to trace there roots to Dr. Jekyll trough a Journal left bye their father. Also in the Journal was a recipe for a serum one that was supposes  to allow one to turn themselves in to their evil selves.  Of course my character is already a villain with a pretense toward evil and decided to try to see if there where other latent or overbearing traits one could bring out with it. Well he succeeded and shortly after his 21'st birthday he had formulated  the serum to bring out ones Lustful and promiscuous side and make ones self more desirable. 

Of course what he had not banked on was the fact that the serum has a nasty side affect and that is the serum will transform the person into how  they see the inner well in tis case Lust. For him it was that of a woman. Now for some it there would be no change  for others may just may be a younger version of themselves. Anyway that  kind of explains my twist.  I am not sure of the name of my character yet but I Will say they are probably going to say he will be in his late 40's say 48. As for his alter ego she will look to be about 23. That side of him ages much slower .

I will  go into more detail about how he is a Villain when in my character sheet but I will say he has both a medical degree and a doctorate in chemistry. I still think he would get help from the Witch to help him produce the serum he now need to control the transformation.  Also as I said I kind of need help with the face claims so any help would be appreciated.  Once  I get those I should have the CS done before the weekend is over.  Also I hope people like this twist I thought it would be a fun way to spice up an older classic Villian.

What kind of appearance beyond age were you thinking of for them?

If you need some help, I do have a Faceclaim Archive you can peruse! I have about 800 FCs in there at the moment, so maybe you can find something you like? If you have any specific criteria for appearances, maybe I could offer some suggestions, too.

For the Male someone kind of distinguished. I Was actually considering Eric Dane because of his character in Grey's Anatomy (and he is one  of a few actors I have  crushed on.... I liked him in charmed as well) But IM not set on him. As far as the female.... someone very seductive and manipulative also someone with darker hair.  While my characters serum  was meant to target lust it is based  off  one meant to target evil so the female alter ego is  definitely a lot more morally depraved  so basically someone that kind of gives that kind of vibe overall.

[Vergil Tanner]

Hmmm, ok. For the male, checking my FCA, you could go for...Eric Rutherford, Trey Griley, Aidan Gillen, Jon Hamm, Simon Merrells, Weston Boucher or Mark Pellagrino, perhaps?

As for the Female...Krystle Lina, Georgia Salpa, Maria Liman, Nicole Thorne, Daisy Lowe, Hope Dworaczyk, Jessica Nazarenus, Niece Waidhofer, Natalie Gibson, Bianca Richards, Kelly Brook, Kylie Kohl or Elisabeth Giolito?

There are probably more, but that's what I can come up with from a cursory glance. xD

[Chaosfox]

Ok I will definitely take a gander. Usually I have a few people I would go to..... well for females but my favorites.... do not really fit.... and I do not usually play males so my go to images for them are almost non existent.

[Vergil Tanner]

Haha, I feel you. I tend to use the same FCs for males, so I only have like...170 FCs for males whereas my FC choices for females are rapidly approaching the quadruple digits xD
