The City of Asenon OOC (Open & Accepting) ( )

Postby Celedia on Mon Sep 28, 2009 8:29 pm


This game would be classified as modern fantasy/alternate reality.

City: Asenon; A Las Vegas type urban area; aka Large population, 'Sin city' type atmosphere, etc.

Notable Locations:


*Crimson- Vampire owned nightclub.From the outside it seemed almost regal with its glass walls edged with chrome but on the inside it was apparent that it was suited for the city's more rowdy denizens. Red leather bench seating flowed like tendrils between black-topped tables all surrounding a massive circular bar to the far right as soon as you stepped in the door. A set of curved stairs took guests to a second floor where the red and purple lights of the dancefloor flashed in rhythm with whatever music was playing that night, either via DJ or band. Other offices and rooms as well as a trio of poshly decorated VIP rooms were located all the way at the basement level on the club.

*Rhiannon forest- A park located near the center of the city, tended to by Elves. Rather large in size. Trees, a lake, etc. Let your imagination wander as to what you'd like to see there.
*Merlin's Cafe- A small shop/cafe which is one of the few shops selling magical items/ingredients and special 'brews'.
Black Ametista is a large, popular Italian restaurant that is high class and expensive. It has a black, white, and of course, purple theme, and gives the impression of being sedate and sophisticated. Against the back wall there is a small stage where musicians and bands play and the waiters and waitresses all wear black pants, white formal shirts, and purple ties. One thing is for certain... it's not your average McDonald's or Olive Garden.

Feel free to suggest other hot spot locations and we'll take them into consideriation.
Crimson:
Owner - Celedia
Bartender - D&C
Bouncer- Nezmer

Merlin's Cafe

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background:


Humans were the single dominant race until wereanimals, shapeshifters and vampires 'revealed' themselves to the masses. Society now expects each race to be treated equal; to some degree. Though, there is still a large underground fantasy life still waiting to be unveiled. There are also elves, witches/warlocks, sorcerors/sorceresses, etc



Political Climate:


Vampires have recently been introduced to the general population so there have been laws imposed to both protect the vampires AND protect the general populace. Taking blood without consent is illegal and on par with rape. Therefore, blood banks are now allowed to sell to the vampire populace and imitation blood is now available as well, and multiple vampire friendly bars have the supplement in stock.

Info on each specie as related to this world: Species have to have pros and cons. For instance: Silver harms most magical/nonhuman beings. If anyone is injured they still require medical attention. It's just that for anyone with faster healing they can heal in days instead of weeks, etc. If you need stitches, you'll still need stitches, they won't close before your eyes, though curative magic can reduce pain, and such.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Races


*Vampires- above average strength, speed, senses. Faster healing capabilities. Moderate to severe damage done by sunlight, severe damage to the heart, decapitation. Both anti and pro vampire groups are around.

*Weres- May change into a single animal shape. Sharper senses, above average athleticism compared to humans. In animal form they also are faster/stronger than the animal form that they have. You can be either "pack" or "stray". Pack weres are full-blooded weres ( either a cat, bear, or wolf obviously) that may change into their full animal form or a half-man/woman half-animal hybrid. Pack weres can 'turn' humans into a were with their bite. 'Turning' people without consent is also equivalent to rape and against the law. Only 1 in 10 bites infect the victim and only half of THOSE ever actually make them a were. "Strays" are not full-blooded born weres (either 'turned' or half-breeds) so may only switch between human and animal form. Strays cannot infect people with their bite.

*Shapeshifters- May change into any earthly animal, but have no superiorities in any form. IE; If changing into a cat, you're a regular cat, etc.

*Elves- Closely attuned to nature and animals, with the highest life expectancy. (Many are in health care fields or animal related fields: Doctor, vet, animal trainer, etc)

*Witches/warlocks- Small curative/destructive spells.

*Sorcerors/sorceresses- Elemental magics, not fully controlled; can only emitt the element. (IE- No firestorms)
(Either spellcaster race has option to use runes, via discrestion of the individual.)

*Human- Self explanatory. (Can decide to be a magic user; ie: warlock, witch, sorceror, sorceress. )

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A recently imposed societal rule is that each individual must wear a color coded bracelet, visiable at all times, that indicates their race. Failure to follow said rule is punishable by law.


Humans: White
Vampires: Red
Were's: Silver
Elves: Green
Witches/Warlocks: Blue
Sorcerors/Sorceresses: Orange
Shapeshifters: Yellow
Undead: Black

Name: Vinsint "Sin" Delacroix
Age: 145
Physical description: Vinsint is a tall individual, standing six foot three, with well defined facial features making it seem as if he were carved out of stone. His eyes a slate gray, and like every other vampire, he has a pale, pasty complexion. His hair is a medium brown, almost bronze like color, that with it's shaggy, choppy ends, falls where it pleases, except on days he can be bothered to tame it. Due to the circumstances in which he was turned, Sin's body is permanately halted at age 23, leaving him with a tone, slim figure in the prime of his now immortal life; not to mention he had so luckily decided not to clean up his facial hair that day leaving him with a permanent scruffle on his chin, that grows back without fail, seconds after he shaves it. Also, when lacking blood the obvious fatigue sets in. Other traits, such as dullness of his eyes, even a slight glazed over look, start to appear more and more apparent as time goes on. The 'final' state of this, are the dark circles he once had from his human years of suffering from insomnia become visible, along with an even worse looking pale color to his skin than usual; a sickly looking type complexion.
Race: Vampire
Profession: Bartender at Crimson
Abilities: His abilities, or simply his ability is, his body. Speed, senses, stamina, endurance, strength, ect; are all naturally enhanced. Let's not forget those razor sharp fangs, and a lifetime of experience. On a side note here, his enhanced sight only helps him so much due to him being color blind.
Weaknesses: Sunlight; Needing to be invited into non public places; Certain holy objects; and lack of blood; Basically natural vampire weaknesses.

This is the OOC so feel free so speak openly and ask anything!

What would undead entail? We are pretty open to most races as long as you have weakness to counteract your powers. So if you could elaborate? :D

(( can a were be anything else besides a bear, cat, or wolf... such as large eagle with a fifteen foot wingspan...? ))
This is the excellent foppery of the world, that, when we are sick in fortune - often the surfeit of our own behavior - we make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars; as if we were villains by necessity, fools by heavenly compulsion, knaves, thieves, and treachers by spherical predominance,drunkards, liars, and adulterers by an enforced obedience of planetary influence.

Dazed, accepted of course. Nezmer, accepted. Your profile intrigues me so I think I'd enjoy having you as a bouncer at Crimson.

Were questions I'm trying to toss Owl's way since she's our resident expert. So I'll try to let her answer first, Toxlind. But as of right now i don't see a problem with being another specie of were :)

Hahaha. Accepted, Ghakha. And don't worry, you won't be the only lunatic with some of the random conflicts we have to throw in. We didn't want it to seem too pointless or like a 'social' RP, but we didn't want to throw in any main conflicts too soon. PM me? Because your character could actually spearhead one of our conflicts that we have planned. It's pretty general so it'll be easy for you to work with :D



And Tox- I don't see Owl online anymore so I say post your profile and if she sees anything questionable she'll speak up tomorrow :D

I love settings like these, I'm excited!

Name: Spade 'Wildcat' Montague
Age: 28
Physical description:
Image
Image
Race:Werelion (pack)
Profession: Hired gun, bank robber. Always carries a pistol with him as well as an assortment of other guns in the trunk of his long, black car. He also plays the guitar. He was the leader of a pack, but most of them died or left after a bad bank shootout 4 years ago.
Abilities: Much like a werewolf, only with less speed and more power. He has a mighty charge.
Weaknesses: Spade is well known for being one of the few, if not only Werelions in the city. He doesn't like werewolves and his honor may sometimes get the best of him, as well as his pride.

I'll have a couple characters up soon. I think one will be a Bruin (were bear). The other... a werecat. I love weres when they're not wolves. I don't get the chance to play them often.

Skipped your characters personality there bro, seeing as how you have 2 posts i'll assume your new.

the personality is a short description of how your character acts. is he shy to the world? or is he all up in your business? Basically to get a good idea of HOW to make a personality, how would you describe YOUR personality, or how would you describe a friends personality to someone else who dose not know them?

once you get an idea of how you would say this, ask yourself "How dose my character act?" and whatever come to mind write it, then edit it to make it legible and literate, then edit for grammar and proofread, then WAHM! you got a personality!

i'm not telling you your accepted or denied. I'm just helping you create your character sheet to the specifications of the Game Master (GM) or host of the thread (person who posted 1st)
