Introduction
The families never had the best relationships, but nothing has ever come to violence between them. Until now, that is. The youngest member of the Delacroix werewolf pack has been found murdered in the forests of Black Water, and no one is above suspicion. His parents are convinced that a member of the Eklund vampire coven is to blame for killing their son. But no amount of scrying or seances can bring that moment back to the light or that boy back from the dead, so the burden of proof falls on the lone homicide detective on Black Water's police force. Even the smallest towns are filled with secrets people would kill to keep hidden.
The Eklunds and the Delacroixs have had petty squabbles for as long as they've been connected by Black Water. Each family has its own issues, and they generally try to keep their social politics from affecting the lives of the rest of the town. Their dynamic has ranged over the years from bitter animosity to friendly rivalry and back again.
The Delacroix pack fled persecution in France late in the 1700s, starting out as a ragtag coalition of embattled werewolves led by Guillaume and Adeline Delacroix. They transformed into the largest and most influential pack in North America, with over 50 members. They've since splintered into several packs across the Great Lakes area, all answering to the Delacroix family, now lead by the widow of Guillaume and Adeline's son Jean until one of her children takes control. The Delacroix family itself has long been cursed with premature death. Of Jean and his wife's ten sons, only three are still living since the youngest, Miles, died.

Forced out of Sweden much the same way the Delacroix pack was forced out of France, the Eklund Coven was founded by Stellan and Moa Eklund. The Eklunds and the Delacroix met by chance in what is now Black Water, near the eponymous Black Springs, and agreed to work together for their safety and the safety of their progeny. Now run by Stellan and Moa's daughter and her husband, the Eklund Coven has connections throughout the whole continent. Their three children are similar in age to the living Delacroix boys, and as such they grew up together. The youngest of the Eklunds was with the 9th Delacroix son when they found Miles Delacroix's body in the forest, which has sparked rumors of something more between them than they've told their parents.

Something about death brings out the gossips, and Black Water has plenty of them. Unfortunately for BWPD's lone designated homicide detective, telling fact from fiction is getting harder and harder the more rumors fly. The suspects all have connections Black Water's two most influential families, and getting justice for the murdered boy seems more like a pipe dream with each passing day. Meanwhile, everyone's talking about what the Delacroix boy and Eklund girl were doing in the forest together the day they found him. Everybody and their grandmother's got a theory, and no one is really willing to cooperate, especially if it means incriminating one of their de facto leaders.

Most non-humans are not truly immortal, but they live for more than twice as long as humans do. Fairies are the exception, but they are notoriously reclusive and no full-blood fairies currently live in Black Water.
Vampires and werewolves specifically age to adulthood regularly and then very slowly before experiencing their elderly years at the same rate as a human would. Both species survive on blood, but animal blood is just as effective and satisfying as human blood. In fact, human blood has a tendency to make blood-drinkers sick and unhinge something in their mind much the same way rabies does. From the beginning of the species, those who fed on humans were looked upon by their peers as murderers.
Humans greatly distrust supernatural beings, as humans tend to do with those who are different. Hunting non-humans became a sport to those privy to their existence. Both vampires and werewolves are vulnerable to silver. It produces a burning effect on its victims. Nightshade and wolfsbane are particularly deadly as well. Vampires and werewolves are typically viewed as two sides of the same coin by everyone but themselves.
Werewolves turn every full moon and the nights before and after if they are caught in the light of the moon. They have no control over it, but the more often they turn, the better they can control themselves in wolf form. They start turning around ten years old, and parents generally encourage young werewolves to change every chance they get to practice.
Almost any supernatural creature is fair game, with an emphasis on witches and fae-like creatures besides the obvious vampires and werewolves.
The focus of this roleplay will be heavily character driven. The killer has not been decided yet, and they will be chosen after all or most of the characters are in. If you absolutely do not want to be the murderer, I won't try to force you. If you do want to be the murderer, pm me to let me know! I'm very open to suggestions, and I want this to be a group effort.

Re: Black Waters
I'd like to start the roleplay this coming week, so all characters should be finished up ASAP barring any unforeseen emergencies.

But anyways, he is done. :)
Re: Black Waters
Edit: I'm also going to start working on the very first post. I won't post it until every character is finished, but I'll have it ready.
Re: Black Waters
- AlwaysGone; Mind if I also reserve the roles of the Patriarch and Matriarch roles of the Eklund Coven?
Face claims with be Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp. :)
Thanks in advance!
Re: Black Waters
The oldest Delacroix son
The Eklund parents (they could be NPCs, at which event I will make character sheets for them)
The oldest Eklund child
Feel free to take on another character if you want!
Re: Black Waters
- AlwaysGone; Finally got my character done! Super sorry for the wait again.
Eunice Delacroix
Also, when do you plan on starting the roleplay? Are there anymore roles that need to be taken before we start? If so, I can always take on another role. :) Just let me know.
Re: Black Waters
Re: Black Waters
Alright, So, as previously stated, Tom Hardy for the FC. Coven Member, and he would be 33. Name would be Diarmad MacTiernan.

Re: Black Waters
Re: Black Waters
I'd like to reserve the Eklund 2nd Child. He would be 37, and the FC would be Bob Morley.
Re: Black Waters
FC will be Tom Hardy. I will update with photos as soon as i can access my laptop.
Re: Black Waters
@LostGirl: They're great. Mermaids are fine, I think that will work!
@TheNewb08: Thank you for letting me know.
Re: Black Waters
and Hailee Steinfeld for the citizen. And are mermaids ok? I would love to make her a mermaid! Like the kind that has a tail in water and legs on land?
Re: Black Waters
I will be using Olivia Taylor Dudley as a FC and she will be a witch, if that is okay!
