War in Haven OOC [Always Accepting] ( )

Postby Billie_blujean on Wed Dec 30, 2009 4:50 pm

Welcome to the city of Haven, South Carolina. Here we have everything you as a supernatural could possibly desire - Large amounts of oblivious people, woodlands, trash dumps, centers of mystical power, a high violent crime rate, and more! So come on down and join us! At this moment in time, there are quite a few factions vying for power within the city, and you are welcome to throw your lot in with any of the following:

[The Zealots] This group of individuals believe that it is time for those with supernatural abilities to throw away the old ways of hiding in plain sight, carrying out their lives in secret and overtake those who are the weaker species - human beings. There is any number of things that can be done with humans once they are overthrown as the dominant species of the planet - they'd be a fantastic food supply for some, breeding stock for others, and still others think turning them into mindless slaves sounds like a brilliant idea.

[The Hardliners] These individuals believe that a specific species of supernatural should be in charge of all the other species (typically they believe that their individual species is by far superior to all others, although this is not always the case). They seek to put their most capable species leaders in charge of all the city operations, but unlike the first faction, they wish to use their supernatural abilities sparingly, letting the humans believe they are still in control of the situation, and letting them remain ignorant that those who are behind the scenes are true, literal monsters.

[The Mainstreamers] This group is attempting to share control of the city with all the supernatural species as equally as possible, but otherwise, is much like the Hardliner Faction.

[The Uninvolved/Neutral] These guys are just doing their best to keep their heads down and establish "safe havens" for those members of their own species (or morals) that are in danger of being harmed or killed by members of opposing factions.

This is typical politics, yes? Unfortunately, that thing about oblivious people that I wrote about up above? Oh. Not so much. Don't get me wrong - most of the people in the city truly are completely ignorant of the dangerous creatures that share the limits of their city with them. But some? Some are starting to figure out that something's up. Some have seen things they shouldn't have seen, some have abilities (or disabilities) that allow them to discover supernatural individuals, some are raving lunatics who think maybe something's up, but have no proof. What happens if they start trying to discover information about supernatural creatures? What happens if they try to actually kidnap or kill some of these individuals?

Can the disparate groups of supernatural individuals work together for their own protection? Or will they simply sacrifice their enemies to those humans who know something is up in order to let themselves get ahead in the game and to further their agenda?




I plan to use the supernatural entities found in World of Darkness, but a much easier system than what is really used in the tabletop or LARP version. The beings that it is possible to be are as follows -


Vampires:

Individuals who for some reason have become unable to venture out in daylight and must drink human blood in order to retain some semblance of life. There are different types of vampires, each with their own abilities and their own weaknesses.

Vampires each choose 2 “typical” abilities and one “specialized” ability. They are as follows :

Typical Abilities:

Animalism: The power to commune with and command animals.
Celerity: The ability to move at incredible speeds with uncanny precision.
Obfuscate: The power of hiding oneself by clouding the minds of the weak.
Resilience: The ability to withstand crippling injury without submitting.
Vigor: The ability to manifest supernatural strength, far beyond a mortal's scope.

Specialized Abilities:
Auspex: Preternatural sensitivity and ability to read auras.
Dominate: Once catching a weaker-willed individual’s eyes, you can command them to follow your orders unless they go against their basic beliefs (a good person won’t kill in cold blood, a person won’t walk in front of a moving vehicle, etc)
Majesty: A commanding sway of emotions and the predatory manipulation of the weak in this way.
Nightmare: The ability to evoke sheer terror by exploiting a person’s greatest fears
Protean: The ability to assume a variety of forms such as a wolf or a mist, the ability to sleep in earth of any type if caught outside when the sun rises.




Mages:

Individuals with an ability to alter the world around them to their own specific wants and needs. Must be careful - performing too much magic without the proper precautions can cause severe damage.

Mages take one of the following sets of specialties:

Time, Fate, and Natural Forces (Gravity, energy, etc)
Space, Mind, and Matter
Matter, Death, and Spirit
Forces, Prime (the raw, untapped power of magic), and Death
Life, Spirit, and Mind


Werewolves:

Individuals who can turn into wolves at will - they can also communicate with spirits. Werewolves have 5 forms into which they can change : Human, Mostly Human, Half Wolf/Half Human, Mostly Wolf, and Wolf.

Werewolves fall into 5 different categories, giving them each their own strengths. The are as follows:

Warrior : anywhere from a blood-thirsty maniac to a strategic master. Powerful individuals when come up against in physical combat.
Visionary : Priests and Oracles, the spiritual leaders of their people. Capable of giving them hope when all hope is lost, and of forgiving sins committed against others.
Walker Between : The judges and juries of Werewolf life - they weigh decisions carefully and can often act as mediators in supernatural disputes, as they choose not to take sides, even judging against their own people.
Spirit Master : Shamans, medicine men, those capable of communing with the spirit world.
Stalker : Spies and Assassins of the werewolf world.


Changelings:

Individuals who have been taken from their homes by faeries and have been altered by the world in which they were held captive. Some were slaves, some were turned into plants or animals, some were kept as playthings - but all were prisoners. When they finally escaped (or were released from their servitude by their masters), they made their way home only to discover that whatever happened to them in Arcadia has changed them permanently. Only supernatural beings can see their true shapes, humans see them as human-looking individuals.

Changelings fall into 6 basic categories:

Beasts : Individuals who have animal characteristics mixed with human. Range from Deer to Fish, from snakes to insects and anywhere inbetween
Darklings: Individuals with an affinity for the darkness - excellent spies
Elementals: The embodiment of elements - earth, air, water, fire, metals, sand, even plastics.
Fairest : Often beautiful, but often deadly, as well.
Ogres: All varieties of monstrous individuals
Wizened : The witches and wizards of the Changeling world.

Prometheans:

These individuals have been physically created - think Golems, or Frankenstein’s Monster. Their only goal in life is to be as much like humans as possible - they believe that by becoming more human-like, they will achieve true humanity. The only supernatural creatures who were born monsters and have the chance to become human.

Prometheans are from 5 different “types” and practice one of 5 different beliefs. They are as follows:

Types of Prometheams:

The Wretched - much like Frankenstein’s monster, these individuals are often made of mis-matching body parts that on occasion can cause the individual to dream of lives in which they never lived, but which their bodies did.
Muses: Beautiful individuals who want companionship more than anything else.
Nepri : Incomplete bodies - anywhere from a missing heart to a missing toe. They believe themselves to be children of the gods.
Golems : These individuals are, above all else, free. They reject slavery in all forms and fight to free all others who may be oppressed.
Riven: From stories in which Shamans had their spiritual bodies ripped apart by spirits and then brought back together piece by piece - if for some reason, the ceremony went awry? The result was the Riven.

Belief Systems:
\Study of Humanity : Humans are to be carefully watched and studied if one is to become a human. This can be anything from attending church, to cold-blooded murder and dissections.
Control of the Self : The way to become human is to gain complete control over one’s own body and mind.
The Way of the Warrior: Practice refining their bodies to be the protectors humans need when the time comes.
Divine Fire : Prometheans are given life by something called the Divine Power, which these individuals believe must be understood before a Promethean can achieve a soul.
Revenge: These individuals believe that revenge is the most human of all emotions and seek to learn about being human by punishing those who wrong them.



And, of course, the humans. Who are, well, human. Humans typically have stable homes, jobs, responsibilities, etc.

Please note that I have taken some liberties with White Wolf’s system - making it easier to use, and stripping out the parts that I deem unnecessary. Please forgive me if you are familiar with the system and take offense - it’s just to make things easier for those who don’t know the system.

A few rules for those of you who will be joining the group -

1. Be literate. Start your sentences with capital letters, use proper punctuation, and treat the English language with a bit of respect. Your characters can speak in slang or text in txt talk all they want - but you as the narrator need to have control over the English language at all other times.

2. I’m not putting a post limit down - sometimes, it’s almost impossible to write a very long response, particularly when you’re leaving a scene or just entering a scene. However, that being said, I’m not going to put up with someone who just posts one-liners repeatedly. I will warn, then reprimand, then ask you to leave the group. I will then take over control of your character or give them to someone who can follow the rules.

3. If you are having a conversation between two characters and both players are online, instead of posting a large amount of short posts, please PM one another and then have a single person post the entire conversation. I also hear you can do something like this in the chat room, although I’m unaware because I’ve never used the chat on this site.

4. Be logical. Don’t make your vampire character frolic around in the daylight, don’t make your human character so awesome that they can best the oldest, biggest, baddest monsters. Remember - despite the fact that some of these monsters aren’t bad guys, they aren’t human and will not act as if they are. To even the kindest supernatural being, humans are dangerous - they’re cunning, they’re sneaky, and they’re everywhere - in the same way that only the dumbest monster would reveal themselves to be more than human to Joe Schmoe walking home from work, a human who says, “That guy’s a vampire! I’m going to go kill him now! Alone!” is not going to last very long.

5. Once again, these individuals are monsters, and even some humans are monsters. If you have something disturbing you want your character to have an affinity for doing, that’s fine - HOWEVER, be respectful of others. If someone voices a concern about something your character chooses to do, don’t get angry, don’t be mean, and don’t ignore their concerns. Either explain or fix the situation. And keep everything to a PG-13 level - otherwise take it to PMs.

6. Speaking of concerns, if you have any issues with another individual, please speak with them. In PM. If you’re uncomfortable confronting them, PM me. I’ll do it. I don’t mind being the bad guy. Don’t call one another out in the OOC, and DON’T talk OOC in the IC. At all.

7. Respect other people’s characters - don’t god-mod, don’t kill them without the two of you working it out together beforehand, etc.

8. Take what characters you can control, but don’t take more than you can handle. And be sure to respond to any scenes your character is involved in - I recommend that if there are a number of posts between the one you are replying to and your reply, quote them. For example :

Dan and Sally are having a scene together, as are Bill and Heidi. Sally posts a reply to Dan’s most recent post, but before Dan can reply, Bill, Heidi, and Susan all post. Instead of simply replying to Sally’s post, Dan quotes Sally’s most recent post in his new reply, making it easier to follow the storyline.

9. Have fun. Enjoy yourself - just because it’s a storyline about monsters doesn’t mean it has to be all doom and gloom.

10. Any questions or concerns? Please PM me. And please PM me if you are going to be missing from the group for any extended period of time.

11. Final rule. Please rate one another's posts and please rate them fairly. I, for one, believe that ratings can let people know when their work is subpar as well as let them know when they're doing well. So please use the system accordingly.

Re: War in Haven OOC [Always Accepting] ( )

Postby Raikou on Wed Dec 30, 2009 5:08 pm

Type: Werewolf

Name: Raikou Touketsu

Age: 19 (apparent age - 17)

Physical Description: In her human form she's 5'7' and weighs about 150. Her body is lean and tone, but not muscular. Her eyes are a cold silver and her hair black with electric blue highlights, going down to her waist. Her skin is a nice tan color and she keeps a invisible cover of ice over it. Its cover is the wall that keeps her locked within herself, she never lets anyone in which keeps everyone safe. No one can see the ice, but if you touch her you will sure as hell feel it. She wears black baggy pants with a dark blue shirt. For foot wear she has black boots that have alittle heel with a hidden dagger in it. When in her werewolf or wolf form her fur is the same as her hair. Also she's smaller than the average werewold and unlike most of them she isn't ugly when transformed, she just looks like a larger wolf. She has a big fluffy tail that also has electric blue highlights. For her weapons she has a big sword that's about the size of her body and she keeps it straped to her back. She also has two pistols, one is black and the other is silver. The sword can be covered with ice and lightning to help her with her attacks. Her pistols' bullets are very shape and can easily pierce throught skin. Some of her bullets have poison on the tip so that they can immobilize or kill you slowly.

Postby Billie_blujean on Wed Dec 30, 2009 5:51 pm

Name:
Sybil Cleareyes

Age:
27

Species:
Changeling

Species Info:
Wizened Oracle

Faction:
Sybil is pure neutral. She runs a safe haven for all supernaturals within the city, and her boarding house is one of the few places where people can safely stay and be assured to find a warm bed and good food. She does have a limit of 7 days (unless otherwise specified), but her prices are what some would find completely reasonable - Sybil will give you safety in return for your allowing her to walk through your dreams once each night - she has been known to cause some people who refused to obey her strict " non-violence" rule such vivid nightmares that they will not step foot back into her home, no matter what, but others have been given the sweetest of all dreams they ever could have imagined. She is also more than willing to read your fortune - but that price can vary upon how much she likes you.

Physical Appearance:
Sybil is slender, almost to the point of being disturbingly thin. To those who can see it, she has a third eye in the center of her forehead, that weeps blood any time she reads someone's fortune. She typically keeps it covered with a bright red bandanna.

http://lunarie.deviantart.com/art/The-F ... -128647026

Personality:
Sybil is fair, if not always well-liked. She will haggle with you over just about anything, but she will, without a doubt, never turn her back on anyone who needs help - no matter what their species or faction.

Other:
Sybil posts flyers about her safe house in almost any area of the city - and for those on the run, one tends to just find its way into their hands when they need it the most.

Postby Baron Fowling on Wed Dec 30, 2009 11:21 pm

Name: Rafael Biche
Age: 73 (Appears mid-twenties.)
Species: Vampire
Physical Appearance: Six foot one and with a slender build that hints at hidden power, Rafael bears the unearthly good looks of every vampire. His nose might be a bit large and his bone structure somewhat effeminate, but for reasons natural or otherwise the overall combination is something that would have the hearts of most young ladies fluttering. His chestnut hair is normally slicked back in somewhat dated style, and his slate-grey eyes are at once beautiful and piercing.
Other: Carries a black .50 caliber semi-automatic pistol modified for him by his friend Bluque. It features a barrel of length and width that would make it difficult, if not impossible for an average person to use it, and uses eight bullet clips. He also wears a sheathed silver dagger at his waist, a gift from Cetra, to be used on her if she goes into a Death Rage and threatens him or others.

(I'll add my werewolf character's profile tomorrow, and if it's okay with you I might also create a Changeling or Promethean minor character who is a friend of both of theirs.)

Here's my human, I might make another character but at the moment this RP is lacking those of the human persuasion.

Name: Avery Valentine

Age: 22

Species: Human

Physical Appearance: Image One Image Two

Avery is of an average height of five foot five and is slightly under weight at one hundred and fifteen pounds. Though, this is due to her living paycheck to pay check lifestyle and not of her own volition. Avery has curves, though she points out many times that she has a significant lack of an ass.

Re: War in Haven OOC [Always Accepting] ( )

Postby Billie_blujean on Thu Dec 31, 2009 1:56 pm

Name:
Holly Marcell

Age:
30 (apparent: Early 20s)

Species:
Vampire

Species Info/Human life :
Holly's abilities are Protean, Vigor, and Resillience

Faction:
Neutral

Physical Appearance:
Having been a cop in her past life, Holly still walks like one. She carries herself with an authority she doesn't necessarily have, and is known as a Hound to those in the know - She is, at her heart, muscle for hire. She doesn't like making examples of those who cross the wrong person, but she has learned some very important lessons in her time as a vampire. The most important? This world needs laws. And those laws must be much more stringent than those of human society - all supernatural beings are, at their heart, monsters. And Holly knows all about monsters - both human and inhuman. She is unafraid to be a monster if it keeps those who are truly innocent - the ignorant human race - safe.

Personality:
Holly has an easy smile and is quick to laugh. Those who have seen her in both of her roles - that of easy-going Holly and Hound Marcell are disturbed by the way that she goes from witty and light hearted to ice cold torturer and back again. She will laugh and chuckle with you, rip out your fingernails, then buy you a beer afterward.

Other:
Holly makes it a habit to meet with all supernaturals at least once a year to ensure that they know how the rules of the city work, and more importantly, so that she can pick up jobs. She makes herself available to others via cell phone numbers scratched throughout the city - and she offers her number to each supernatural she meets upon their first introductions. Those who are well-aware of the importance of muscle for hire often retain her number.

Shes not afraid to fight if forced but shes really a hyperactive, outgoing and extremely friendly individual who loves making friends and is very protective of them. Though her temper is something not to be triffled with especially since shes quite explosive and would not hesitate to break your neck when you harm her friends especially her sister.
History: Alexa and Maya were both born from a wealthy clan of mages. Their parents were also mages so its no surprise that they were aswell though fate has a diferent a plan a cruel one at that. One stormy night unknown assasins attacked the compound killing everyone in it including their parents. They were about to kill the twins when Alexa beat them to it by sending a very well aimed black flames towards their would be assasins killing them by surprise. They were found the next day by a friend of their father beside the bodies of their parents covered in blood. They knew who sent those men to kill their family and swore kill him with their hands the minute they catch the guy. They received their parents assets and businesses including the clan´s.

Postby DotCom on Fri Jan 01, 2010 6:21 pm

Name:
Rina
Age:
Unknown; assumed to be six (6)
Species:
Changeling
Species Info/Human life:
Beast: Primarily gray fox, though it is suspected she has inherited some other traits as well.
Faction:
Neutral (both publicly, and privately)
Physical Appearance:
At just six years old, Rina stands at three-and-a-half feet tall. She appears to be of African-American and Caucasian decent, and has thick, curly brown hair and green eyes.
A supernatural, however, would see her with dark blue, almost purple (indigo) eyes, furry, pointed ears and a bushy tail.[/color]

Personality:
"Most of the time, she's a normal little kid. She's scared of the dark...she'll wake up crying when she has dreams about her parents. She gets real shy sometimes. But sometimes...every once in a while, she'll act older than she is. Usually, it's a good thing, but other times, she'll be kind of erratic, like she can't make up her mind about something real important. That's scary. It's like she's not even the same person..."
~Aaron Davidson, on 'adopted' sister Rina

History:
See below
Other:
Rina is mute, and has no memory of her kidnapping by the Fae. On the night Aaron found her, she had just been returned to her world. She does not know yet of her powers, or what she is. She will, however, occasionally catch a glimpse of her true form. These are times when her schizophrenic personality (see below) shines strongest. She also carries a transparent, pearlescent stone, given (unbeknownst to her) as a gift before she left the Fae. She finds great comfort looking into it, though none know why. Finally, due to the imprinting of multiple animal personalities, she can have occasional schizophrenic tendencies.





Name:
Aaron Davidson
Age:
Twenty (20)
Species:
Human

Species Info/Human life:
Aaron knows well the kind of creatures out there. A drunken promethean killed his mother, then his father when he tried to defend her. He hates the supernaturals, and has no idea that his new little sister is one of them.
Faction:
Neutral, but bitter (both publicly, and privately)
Physical Appearance:
Roughly six feet tall, Aaron has black hair and blue-gray eyes. He is lean, but muscled well enough and somewhat tan from his frequent outdoor odd-jobs.

Personality:
"You know, I seen that kid come in here a few times looking for a job. Always thought he was real grungy, y'know? Real quiet, but kinda had this attitude like he knew he was better than everyone else. Real smart ass, too, if you know what I mean. Dirty, low-down, like a lotta the punks you see out there on the beach from sun up t' sun down. But the last time he came in, he brought this kid with him. Little girl, real cute, even with those freaky eyes. Didn't look like his sister, but what the hell do I know these days, eh? Anyway, he was suddenly real professional. Could tell he really wanted the job, see? Nowadays, I see him around, he's still got that quiet, kinda angry thing about him, but when he talks to that little girl...he must love her somethin' bad. Let me tell you this, though: I think if anyone ever tried to hurt her, no one would see that guy for a real long time, y'know what I mean?"
~Mr. Andy Roberts, Aaron's boss

History:
See below.
Other:
Aaron does not know (yet) that the little girl he adopted and loves is a Supernatural.

Combined Bio:
Rina had little memory of anything before the storm. At least consciously, though there were those rare occasions when she woke up screaming, and cry and cry until he found that rock for her. So, he knew she was dreaming about her past, even if she couldn't remember it. And he knew that stone made everything better when she held it, somehow. But in the morning, either she didn't remember the dreams, or she didn't want to tell him, so he stopped pushing.

The screaming was the one thing that never failed to surprise him. Quiet as she was during the day--he'd thought she was completely mute, until she woke up screaming--she sure made a hell of a lot of noise when the spirit took her. That was how he knew something bad had happened to her before he'd found her. Something real bad. Bad enough to make her forget how to talk, and remember how to scream.

He'd found her almost a year ago, now. He thought she couldn't have been older than four or five, but it was hard to tell. She was soaked to the bone, a shaking lump of flesh and fabric. He never would have stopped for her if it hadn't been for that damn tutu.

It was only a few months after he'd moved to Haven, after losing his place with his parents up north a ways when he couldn't keep up the rent alone. So, he struck out, looking for some place he could afford, and ended up in the grimiest city out there, to no one's surprise but his own. One night, while he'd been combing the streets, both for spare change, and spare parts--mechanics had always been a hobby of his, and he was convinced he could build something to help him earn a nicer place--he came across something too pink and frilly to be alley trash. It'd caught his eye immediately.

It was a tutu. Or rather, it was a barely-shivering lump of mud and and dirt, dressed in a ballet tutu, slippers, and plastic tiara, and soaked in a day's worth of rain. She was so indistinguishable as a person that he almost left her, until she made the smallest of noises.

The noise scared him, because he knew it meant she would die, and soon, if he didn't help. If he left her--or it, as she was then--did that make him a murderer? Would taking her back to his closet of an apartment help at all? It surprised him that he cared at all. In the past few months, he'd come to see the world as a dog-eat-dog place, but for some reason, he felt oddly drawn to the sodden bundle of pink. After all, he may be a liar and a thief, but he wasn't a murderer. Still...he had only one cot, no food, no blankets or medicine. But, he thought, pushing aside some of the tangled mass of hair draped over her face...She was pretty. Young, but pretty. If he nursed her back to health...

Later, he would shudder at the thought of it, but then it seemed perfectly logical, as he glanced around before carefully lifting the shivering bundle out of her makeshift crib. Virgin prostitution was more and more the luxury now a days. The girl would earn him a pretty penny with those eyes she'd flashed only a moment ago...

~*~

She cost him three nights of sleep. Three nights of pneumonia, three days of working odd jobs paying for hot soup, blankets, medicine. Three nights sitting up with her through endless cycles of wordless screaming nightmares. Three days of watching her alternately shake and sweat with fever. He thought he hated her for it. More than once, he considered throwing her out. But somehow, at the end of three days, when she finally opened her eyes and looked at him--just looked at him--he knew no one would ever hurt her while he was around. Just as quickly, he knew it had been happening the whole time. It was the way she clung to him in her sleep, the way she trusted him so blindly, as no one ever had before. It was as if she'd seen a side of him no one else believed existed.

At the end of those three days, he sighed heavily. "Well. Guess we're stuck together, eh, brat? And I don't even know your name." He took in the clothing she was wearing, the tutu and slippers she refused to take off. She was dressed like a ballerina, for some reason he couldn't guess. "Ballerina, eh?" He considered for a moment. "How 'bout Rina? You like, Rina?"

She stared at him for a long moment, then gave a queer half smile and thrust out her hand. Or rather, her wrist. Around which--how he'd missed it before, he had no idea--was a small, yet gloriously expensive 24-karat gold bracelet.

It was, Aaron thought, the beginning of a beautiful thing.

In this case, I'd say particularly long-lived. I'd say... they age at maybe a fifth of human rate once they hit puberty, meaning that particularly long-lived ones can live to be about 500 or so. Although, I'd also like to add, if you can convince me of it, I'm more than willing to slip your werewolf a bit of something to make them maybe... longer lived?

Any individual who is given vampire blood on a regular basis can live for just about eternity - as long as the vampire wishes them to do so and gives them blood once every 30 days or so. The downside? The person develops an unhealthy devotion to said vampire. Not a bad thing if the vampire is already particularly devoted to the individual, pretty tragic if the vampire is particularly cruel or sadistic.

Just to throw out that info to anyone interested.

History: Jericho was born in a village under the cruel rein of thieves. His mother died giving birth to him and his father was killed in one of the thieves daily display of slaughter. Jericho was raised up by his elder sister who was driven insane by the loss of her fiancee to the thieves. She taught Jericho to care for nothing and have the heart of a demon, as the years passed and the thieves continued ruling over the little village, taxing them severely and taking nearly all of there harvest and animals.

Name:Markus Adroitus
Age: 25
Species: Mage
Species Info/Human life: Markus has power over Fate, Time and Natural Forces.
Faction: Neutral, though sort of a mercanary for anybody but the hardliners, who he dislikes.
Physical Appearance: Six foot, athletic build, shockingly green eyes, shortish brown hair, which seems to constantly be a mess. The clothes he wears (Jeans, white tshirt and a black leather jacket, plus a staff which he never EVER lets go of) are the only possessions left to his name.

Personality: An extremly happy person, pretty much constantly. Their are very few thing that can make Markus sad, or angry for that matter, he takes thing's in stride and keeps on going, seemingly never bothered by anything. Markus grew up for 15 years believing he was human. He loves magic as life itself. He has devoted himself to it completly, he is very learned in magic and supernaturals. He also has a bit of a hero complex, he likes saving or helping people, not because it helps him in anyway really, he just happens to think it's fun.

History: Markus grew up in California. He never had much love for human life, he perferred the stories he found in books, stories of magic and war, of love and hate, monsters and deceit much more. The day he saw a man being mauled by a hardliner werewolf was the day he found his powers. He ran to the man, singeing most of the hair off the backside of the werewolf. The wolf evidently thought that Markus knew much more than he actually did, and ran off. Markus saved that one. There were many others who he never managed to save, and he vowed that he would help whoever, where ever, however, he could. For the last 10 years, he has traveled the country, saving people, but also pursuing his other great love, knowledge. If knowledge was power, Markus was halfway to all-powerful. He learned all he could, everywhere. One of his great tactics is, watching the future and then going where ever he saw himself in said vision. His latest vision takes him to Haven.

Other: Markus's staff which he never let's go of may or may not be enchanted with the ability to slow time for one minute (in other words, it is.) That, magic, and knowledge are his only weapons.

This is a great idea for a game by the way.

Name: Cetra Franklyn
Age: 67 (Appears late twenties)
Species: Werewolf
Species Info/Human life : Belonging to the tribe Meninna, otherwise known as the Hunters in Darkness, Cetra is an Irraka, a wolf born under the New Moon whose skill lies in stealth, deception and cunning. Her tribal duty is the policing of the barrier between the material world and the spirit world, and her particular speciality is hunting down spirits who have crossed the barrier at points of high spiritual energy known as Loci.
Faction: Cetra is a mainstreamer who, with all tribespeople of the Uratha, holds no ill will towards humans and seeks to coexist with them peacefully.
Physical Appearance: Roughly six foot and of slender build for the most part, Cetra’s facial features have something of the lupine in them even when she is in pure human form. Maybe it’s the slight slant to her eyes, or the straightness of the bridge of her nose, or the slightly unseemly sharpness to her teeth… Her hair is cropped boyishly short, hanging down just below her ears, and blonde in colour with just a slight hint of darkness. Her eyes are a pale blue, aside from when she enters any of her lupine forms, at which point they become an unearthly green. She has not yet learnt to adapt her powers so that her clothing transforms when she does, so when planning a shift in forms she tends to dress in a simple one piece dress of cream colour.
History: Born in the early 1940s, Cetra was for the most part a normal girl until at the age of fourteen she underwent the painful and confusing transformation into a wolf for the first time. She woke the next morning naked, baffled and covered in blood. (which she later learnt, to her relief, was that of an urban raccoon.) Shortly after that she met the man known as Uhura Jenkins, who slowly and sympathetically taught her about the nature of her new condition, how to take control over her abilities and what her life would be like from then on. Cetra accepted this charitable education gratefully, having been open-minded since her childhood, and eventually her mentor asked her to join his tribe, the Meninna, and aid him in policing the border between the worlds from the shadows. She accepted, after making sure that she wouldn’t need to sever her ties with her normal life, and began a new life as an affiliated Uratha, a forsaken werewolf. It was after neutralising a malevolent spirit who had possessed an inmate in the local hospital’s mentally disturbed ward that Cetra first met the vampire known as Rafael Biche, and their relationship quickly progressed. One day years later, Uhura came to her again to ask her to transfer her services to the Locum-rich area of Haven. Much had changed since she first entered the tribe, and now she was all too happy to leave her mortal life, as long as her lover Rafael would accompany her.
Other: Though usually preferring to fight with the teeth and claws that her werewolf form grants her, Cetra has also been known to carry a long dagger, throwing knives, and occasionally a silenced high-calibre semi-automatic pistol.

(Sorry this took a while, I've been out of sorts lately. Should hopefully have a post up on the IC by tomorrow.)

Personality: Cornata is very open to possibly but closed to change, well at least too much change. She loves hanging out and having fun, she often times finds herself in the arms of some man, which is the reason her friends call her promiscuous. She is conservative in certain areas of her life, but enjoys the idea of family and often times inducts her friends as family members only making their friendship stronger.

A very happy person at heart, Cornata loves to travel and loves to make friends. She will fight for what is right and for her family and friends as well as the weak. She is a strong believer in protecting the weak.

Name: Vontez

Age: unknown (appears to be late teens)

Species: changeling

Species Info: Vontez is a Fairest with a mesmerizing stare and a hypnotizing voice, His speed is blinding but it’s his intelligence that you should watch out for.

Faction: Von is publicly a Zealot

Physical Appearance:
Image
Von is six foot five inches, His long and slider build give him the appearance of a weakling, though that is not the case. His dark blue hair is just long enough to cover his piercing sapphire eyes that glow against his pale white skin.

Personality: Vontez is reserved and quiet. He often stares into the far distance; lost in his thoughts, but when the time calls for action, he will not hesitate to kill. Von is constantly playing chess, mostly with himself, and often wonders through the forest alone if he’s not in his mansion reading.

History: Vontez came back to earth a changed ... man. Hate smouldered in his heart. Hate for humans and all their protectors. He owns a large privet hi-tech security company based off near the mountains. His ‘employees’ are extremely well trained and loyal to the core. No one really knows what happened to him in Arcadia, and Von will not talk about it. The rumors tell of endless torture and an evil master. Some think that Vontez is still following his masters’ orders and that is the cause for all his hate. But whatever the reason is; Von will stop at nothing to see his plans through.

Other: Vontez wonders what it is like to love someone.

Name: Pandora Rose

Age: 99 years old

Species: Vampire

Species info: Animalism, resilience, and protean.

Faction: Pandora is publicly a zealot but privately neutral.

Physical appearance: due to her ability to shape-shift, her true appearance is unknown. However, when she makes public appearances, she often takes the form of this:
Image

Personality: Though Pandora acts tough, it’s not hard to find cracks in her armor. Deep down inside she is just a cuddly panda bear; although, she likes to think of herself as more catlike then bear. Pandora loves animals as much as she loves nature. She is a kind and gentle vampire, that is until her boss is in trouble; then the kitty’s claws come out.

History: Pandora was born almost one hundred years ago in a small village in France just several miles from the Spanish border. Her family decided to move to America shortly after Pandora turned thirteen. It was on the boat to American when horror struck; Evil came out from the shadows and claimed the lives of everyone on board. Pandora was spared, but only to face an even worst outcome. The young girl spent most of her immortal life in the vast wilderness of New England. It was there that she met a young Fairest by the name of Vontez. She would stand by his side every since. Pandora works for Von as his personal secretary and blood bank.

Other: She blushes every time Von calls her Panda…

let me know if this works...
