Introduction
Setting
The streets are dark and dreary with grey around every corner. The London air is crisp and cool with dark clouds filling the horizon in a mad storm on the brink of destruction. Silent flashes of lightning light up the starless night sky and in the far distance the low rumble of thunder sounds. A white fog prowls the cobble stoned streets, making visibility limited. Most lights of nearby building have been blown out and now the storm grows steadily closer. Suddenly a high pitched screech is heard followed closely by a deep and ruff growl. The familiar sound of staggered, panting breath and feet in a hurry echoed down the streets. It's pursuers were not far behind their prey. Suddenly, the silenced is broken by yet another cry, cutting though the night like a sharp knife, muffled by more inhumane screeches and screams. As the rain begins to pour and the thunder grows louder, the creatures of the night come out to play.

If you are going to use pictures only realistic ones please.
This is a character driven role play and there are all different kinds of creatures you can be. However, as posted in the rules, there are limits. Any humans or creatures with powers, such as speed, manipulation, telepathy, are a no. Any creatures with objects, like rings or necklaces, that give a character are also a no. Wizards and witches, angles and demons don't belong either. More urban beings, like lycans or shapeshifters, fit more into the role play. Any race your not sure of, post in OOC and I'll let you know.
Thanks and ejnoy.

Rules
!) Characters There are all kinds of species to choose from in this role play. Try and stay away from Mary Sue and Gary Stu however. Be unique and creative when it comes to your character. You are welcome to submit almost any character but an angle or demon or some type of witch or wizard. I don't want humans with powers only characters that have certain attributes to them such as the ones I listed in the tag. This role play will be mosty character driven.
@) Posting Quality over quantity. I wont set a length for the post however I'd like to keep them more than a few sentences long and at least a paragraph. Keep the posts deep and informative. The occasional writers block is fine as well. Try and post often
#) Powerplaying Powerplaying and godmodding are a big no. Powerplaying includes anything that causes use of other characters. Even if you have to make your post short, do not powerplay. Godmodding is having a character that has ultimate power. For example a shape shifter that can shift into anything. Give them limits. It also includes when a character thinks something and another character automatically picks it up.
$) Sex/Gore This role play is a gothic literature genre. There will be kissing and gore, swearing and maybe even killing. Sex will go no further than perhaps deep kissing. If you are writing a kissing or gore scene they don't necessarily need be informative. But be insightful.
%) OOC Please check OOC often for updates and to get to know your fellow role players.

Re: [OOC] Creatures of the Night
I can answer that in Lemon's absence, Eden, considering that Lemon hasn't been online in a while, and she seemed to lack the interest to start the roleplay when she was around. Busy life, perhaps. But welcome anyway! I really, really love your character.
If you wish to submit her, you simply need to copy and paste the profile into a new submission for Creatures. You could use Artesan for several RP's if you liked; there's no limit. =)
Oh wow, now I want this to start up again. Like, really really. Anybody up for a revival?
(P.S: Lemon, if you do happen to come back, I still love you, man!)

Re: [OOC] Creatures of the Night
Hello ~ I'm new here and interested in joining, but I have a few inquiries/concerns.
I have a character I wish to submit; I've already created her but I think I can only have one character per RP instead of multiple.
Her name is Artesan I'll. Venacie and I'm sure that she'll fit perfectly in your RP. Your speedy reply is appreciated.

Re: [OOC] Creatures of the Night
Shucks, marm, you done flatter me~ Same to you! Not quite sure about seals invading the river, though. xD I think the fact that the Thames conveniently snakes its way throughout would suffice.
Psst, Ms. Lemon, do you have any specific plans about kicking off the roleplay? (Ha, you're also in An Imperfect Parable. We're gonna be such bros.)

It has a river.
Re: [OOC] Creatures of the Night
Imma fix my characters.
Why? Because I cant look at Cale's picture for one more second. I swear my IQ dropped 10 points every time I see it.

Re: [OOC] Creatures of the Night
Hey Tae :D Great character, as always. And what can I say? You just seem to have excellent taste in RPs. That is possible though, I would just have to think of a reason he just doesn't zip right back home. Seals are curious, right?
Re: [OOC] Creatures of the Night
silverclawed, I swear we're always bumping into each other. <3 For a Selkie, how 'bout having her somehow find herself in the Thames? I dunno! Just a silly possibility.
Finally finished my character, Lemon, and I hope he's acceptable. I've always wanted to try this sort of setting. For future reference, the period lasted from 1837 to 1901. :D

So I've decided to just submit my werewolf and think about my other character as I go.
One more question, and sorry if you already said this: What time period does this take place? I got the feel of the victorian era, but I wanted to make sure.

Re: [OOC] Creatures of the Night
Sure! And thanks for the character LovelyRose.
Hm..so far we have vampires, shapeshifters, werewolves, a siren and a human. A banshee (a woman that supposedly washes the clothes of the dead and screeches an ear splitting cry) or a wraith (a living dead that either appears very ugly or very beautiful that has a human body but with certain animal type characteristics) would be good for a character. A harpy is an ugly old hag that is part bird. Werepyre is part vampire part werewolf. Valkyrie are people that decide who would die in battle. Which would be nice if you hated someone. Just saying.
I don't expect you to take a creature and role play it exactly how society sees them. Your welcome to change their characteristics as long as you stick to the main stuff.
Any other questions? :)

Re: [OOC] Creatures of the Night
Hey Lemon, can you give us some more examples of creatures we can use? Most of what I'm looking at seem to be some kind of demon or too 'fairytale' for what youre asking for.
Re: [OOC] Creatures of the Night
If there are enough players, can we make two characters in case one gets killed off?
