So does he have amnesia? Because to say Unknown on a lot of things is silly, surely the character must know something about his history, even if its only the last few days, hours or minutes.
And when you say his name is unknown but tells people Boots, his name is by definition Boots.

He remembers his past, or parts of it. But what he does remember he doesn't tell anyone. The only history of current relevance, or that anyone would have any knowledge of, would be his journeys as a hobo drifter, but those only would factor in as tall tales he would tell of his exploits. And what I meant is that boots isn't his real name, or given name, its what he tells people to call him, mostly as a joke, though it sticks obviously, as peope have no other name for him. Unless they make up their own.

I suppose I'll give it a go now, lol. Yes the character is a female.

Name: Myles Varuna
Species: Vampire
Age:104
Physical description: 5'8'', slim with slight curves (in all the right places). Ash blonde (with subtle light brown streaks), wavy hair to the small of her back. Bright green eyes, when combined with her slender body, give her an almost fragile appearance. Her skinetone isn't as pale as it should be, considering her species, but she is far from tan. She appears to be in her early/mid-twenties. She tends to dress casually for all occassions, choosing comfort over style. (If you decide to make it "modern modern", I'd say she would wear jeans, sneakers and random t-shirt variations; but since it's still up in the air I will leave it a bit vague.)
Notable Abilities: She possesses the usual abilities gifted to all vampires, as well as a few others. Her most useful ability is a sense of empathy for others. This helps her better understand people she meets, making it easier to be social (and she is). Also, her hair and nails grow much faster than a normal person's. This is a completely useless ability, only succeeding in irritating her everytime she has to cut them.
Brief History: Growing up with an eccentric single mother, she had the freedom that every child wishes for. Her life, though middle class, had always been just short of perfect for her. Not much else is needed to be explained, she is and always has been happy and full of life.
Upon hearing about the possibility for adventure, she jumped at the chance. Any excuse to get moving and search for hidden treasure (the treasure never interests her nearly as much as the journey to find it). Her mother taught her the value of a good expedition.
Profession: Just about anything. You name it, she's probably tried it. She is always looking for the next best thing, so she doesn't stay at one job for long. Her last known employment was at a local zoo.

The reason you put history is so the game master can see the character structure, its a way to help her develop plot points that may or may not pertain to you specifically. To place Unknown in those places is denying the gamemaster a chance to help craft the story towards your persona. She did say brief history not a novel some bits and pieces to work with. If you want to be merely a hobo fine but Jade won't make any efforts to include your character in the story in any relevant manner.
You're a glorified NPC at this point.

Trust me I have RP'd with Jade long enough to know how she likes to craft stories, with nothing to work with, there isn't much to build upon.

Time for me to go to bed *Scurries off*.

Fine, fine, fine. I have to choose one of several ways to go now. Good guy or bad guy you think? I prefer good, but he could make a good bad guy. Less fun to play, but possibly more useful to the story.

Bah, what the hell, I'm winging a backgroung to fit the story. Boots is actually a member of a secret society, the Knights of Avalon, though you would never know it by looking at him. Their mission is to find and protect powerful magical artifacts from falling into the wrong hands, destroying them if necessary and possible. When news of the Everstone reappeared, Boots was charged with finding it at all costs, lest it fall into the wrong hands.

Not the way I would usually play this kinda character, but it could be fun.

Here goes mine:

Name: Thelonius "Loner"

Species: An old, greying Centaur

Age: 74

Physical description: Obviously, being a centaur, Thelonius has the upper body of a man and the lower body of a horse. Now, in his ... "advanced" age, Thelonius' hair (on his head) has been slowly greying, now completely, with only a sparse number of black streaks. He keeps the long hair done up in a large bun at the top of his head, a few strands still escaping and falling over his face and neck. His eyes are a light brown, resembling amber when proper light is given, and they're adorned with a bushy set of grey eyebrows. His mouth is set in an almost gritted position, as if he's always ready to growl between them, yet his true nature is quite friendly. His sharp angular features contrast with this. Thelonius also wears a large, bushy beard at the bottom of his chin, reaching the sides of his bottom jaw in width, anda few inches long, resembling in colour to dusty coal, more dust than coal mind you. His nose is slightly larger and flatter than average, a usual trait among centaurs.

Now, the centaur's "horse hair" is a shade of light brown, similar to his eyes, though now patches are beginning to lighten. His shaggy hair is usually kept un-brushed and un-cared for, only keeping it washed to avoid the smell. His tail is a light grey and is kept tied up in a braid, held in place by a brown bow.

Covering his upper body, Loner wears a short-sleeved light brown-green tweed jacket (shortened by himself) over a thick black shirt, and thick brown leather gloves on his hands, battered from work. The little skin we see is of a pale colour, and veins seem to stick to it's surface. He also often wears a dark grey scarf to keep warm during his nightly excursions. Thelonius wears no clothes on his horse body, but keeps a studded leather harness (strapped around his horse chest and human waist) to stock his equipment, including two Bowie knives, his quiver and bow, an M1 Garand rifle with ammunition, and whatever else he deems necessary.

Notable Abilities: An excellent shot, be it with a rifle or a bow, an excellent "runner", despite his age, Thelonius has kept his body up to shape and even his human one isn't that weak. Loner is also noted to have an attitude completely different from his nick-name: he's a gentle and caring man, not overly, but enough to gain him the respect of all his clan members.

Brief History: Born in the clan he now leads, Thelonius grew up as part of the community, participating in its daily life. However, as soon he could, he would go and travel the forest around which they lived. It has always kept him distracted and content, and he feels an unusual bond with it, hating the humans who harm it. Growing away from most settled communities, that's cities to you and me, Loner feels somewhat uneasy when travelling through them, and the disregard they hold towards his race has always unnerved him. However, Thelonius tries to accept it, and his stoic principles keep him from feeling too offended. When the clan leader died of old age, Loner was straight voted new clan leader, and has since then strove to do his best for the community. However, while all was going well, and he was soon aiming for retirement, disaster struck.

Their well was poisoned, and Thelonius soon found out, by a group of hunters who were going to sell their pelts and heads for a high price on the black market. The clan leader hunted them all down, killing them with a shot or an arrow in the head, or slicing and running them down, his fury amazing and frightening to watch. Having avenged the already escalating number of deaths that his community has suffered, Thelonius nonetheless needs to find a way to heal his beloved clan, his family. He went to the cities for aid, yet none of them even lifted a finger. Despaired, the centaur soon heard news however of the Everstone, and is now doing his best to seek it in order to heal the clan, and maybe just rejuvenate him a bit.

Profession: Clan Leader, Sharpshooter and whatever else he does.

Waiting for approval ma'am !

Name:
Marissa Carter

Species:
Vampire

Age:
26

Physical description:
Marissa has short, pixie-cut black hair and big, brown, bedroom eyes. She's small-framed, with lips she pushes out in a continuous pout. She thinks it's attractive, but really, sometimes, it just makes her look like someone gave her a fat lip. She dresses in the latest styles, and hangs out at the coolest places, but can't seem to keep up on the slang of the generation.

Notable Abilities:
Marissa is a charmer at heart. She's smart, witty, and able to coerce people into situations that they wouldn't normally necessarily put themselves in, not to mention eke out information where there supposedly isn't any. And she enjoys doing it. She could sell ice to Eskimos, and could charm the scales off of a snake if she needed to. On top of that, she has the support of a nation-wide newspaper to help her get what she wants.

Brief History:
Marissa was born hungry. She wants everything she can get her hands on, and she wants it now. What she wants most in life is knowledge and fame. And if she has to choose, fame would definitely be preferable. She's been working with a fairly well-known national newspaper for quite a few years now and she's swiftly working her way up the ranks. All she really needs is that one big story to put her name on the front page - and she's willing to do a bit of hard work to get it.

Marissa is a diva at heart. She's attractive, petty, charming, and believes whole-heartedly that she is the hope for the future. Well, the hope for the future of beauty, at least. She's happy being a vampire, it makes her that much more charming and alluring in her mind. At least, that's how she felt before she watched her mentor wither away and die. Now, she's not so sure about life. Hearing about an upcoming "treasure hunt," she's all for it. Not only would it make an unbelievable story, the likes of which could make her the top puppy in the whelping box, it could also hold one hell of a prize.

Profession:
Marissa is a reporter for a well-known national newspaper, but she's starving for more. She wants to be the reporter that knows everything going on at all times, who's first on the scene and who sometimes even manages to be in on the action. She's definitely willing to get her hands (and her fashionable, yet tasteful clothes) a bit dirty if the end result is fortune and fame, which she's sure it will be. After all, she's the Marissa Carter. That's how the world works for her, at least in her mind.

Changed her up a little bit. Any better? If not, just PM me.

Already remedied it. And fashion's always been popular.

So... Post or Pre-War?

If we it's before the end of WWII, that means that this will be very interesting.

Leme see, the western pacific Fishmen are turning the seas around Japan and it's coast into one huge minefield and sinking ships by the dozen, while the Eastern pacific Fishmen are fighting back.

And Germany has Warlocks and Werewolves and Vampires, so they have an edge.

The Royal families of Eastern Europe are fighting against the Germans, and Soviets are doing massive purges of the Supernatural.

And the Fishmen empire is in between the various coastal sections, which picked up on the teaching of the things happening on land. And ect... ect...

... can I play a werehorse or is that the same thing as a centaur?

Name: Johannes "Rex" (will come up with a last name)

Species: Werewolf

Age: 53

Physical description: A tall, white man, not muscular nor thin, who seems (and is) happy all the time. Tan-brown hair covers most of his body, but mostly his face and arms. He usually wears the shirt+suspenders combination and has a weird passion for black, pointy shoes. On his body there are no scars or markings, unless you would count the constant cheer on his face.

Notable Abilities: Can transform into a half-wolf, which grants him;

- Better sense of smell
- Remarkably more endurance and strenght
- Better eyesight
- Better and wider span of hearing

Brief History: A working man, Johannes has spent most of his days working at a local convenience store in <whatever town Jade gives us to play in>. Through that, he can bring various wares and supposedly money to his local COMMUNIST COLLECTIVE PLACE WHERE PEOPLE COMMUNATE (?).

Profession: Supervisor/Big Guy/Boss/Chief at the convenience store.

Yes, I will edit this slightly if I 1; get more information and of course 2; get accepted. What will we call the communist collective palce where people communate (?) ?

Hell.






Sorry. Couldn't help myself.

Listen, please stop with the anti-communism/communal living bitching; it's getting on people's nerves. Yes, we've understood that you don't like it, that doesn't mean you've got to hoard the place with endless comments about how you find it's crap. And if you can't stand it, ignore it, but don't keep posting the same crap over and over again.

Jade, can I use the Julias Hyde from Fateful Travels? For those of you that don't know him here he is. Also be how he started, not how he presently is/is going to be.

Julias Hyde

First order of action:

Gabriel, you are officially uninvited to this game. Meaning I will not accept you into it, period. I told you to stop the crap about particular government workings, and you did not. And the attitude you have displayed is completely unappealing. I just don't have the patience for it. So by all means, go start your own monster game, but I'm afraid you will not be welcomed into this one.

Second transaction:

Ayaliss and Billie, your characters look neat. But they don't seem like they'd actually be needed on an expedition like this one, so I can't imagine them being invited. Try to alter them a bit so they'd be sought out to join the group

C:

Anyone who hasn't been mentioned so far is okay to join.

Furthermore:

Except for Hyde, sorry ^^ The wights are pretty emo beings, as cool as they are. So I'm afraid that I have to say no to that one. If you want to alter the race a bit so they're not tight pants wearing shadow dwellers (hayuk, sorry) then let me know what you've got in mind. Otherwise, you'll have to choose a different race and/or character.

Okay, I changed her up a bit. Is she better now? If not, I'd love to work with you via PM to make sure I can get a character that will fit in (even if it means that I need to start all over again).

Actually that should not be a problem, there will be a minor delay but it will push me to pump out another profile.
