In a town known as Faeda strange things have been happening at night. No one questions these strange things, as they have always happened, and many suspect they always will continue to happen. People go missing every once in awhile, but no one says anything. When one of these missing people shows up months, or even years later, looking exactly the same as they did when they disappeared, no one says anything, said missing person will inevitably be missing again in the morning. For strange things only happen at night. Of course strange things happen in other towns as well, that's just the way of things, but odd occurrences seem to happen more fequently in Faeda.

A new family has moved in, and has no doubt taken notice of the strange goings on in the town, and when they begin to question everyone else's lack of interest, things start to stir up. Things the people of Faeda have always been aware of, and always ignored, are being talked about, and now the people of the town are beginning to outwardly fear the night.

On the other side of things, the creatures of the night had found Faeda to be a Haven. The people never bothered to question what happened, and everyone lived as they always had. But then some new people showed up and put their noses in where it did not belong. The creatures of the night are trying to restore the old balance, but the humans have had enough. Vampire hunters have been called in, as well as other paranormal exterminators, all of which are trying to rid the world of evil, or so they say.

Characters

Vampires
Vampires, are your average vampire. No reflection, mild psychic abilities, death by sunlight, stake though the heart, or fire. Note that vampires must sleep during the day, and cannot be awoken by any means until the sun has set, and as such many vampire seek daytime protection either from trusted humans, or other creatures of the night that are capable of wakefulness during daylight hours. Vampires, are strong, and fast, but their biggest strength is their intellect. Some vampire, depending on their human lives, double as spell casters, but that is extremely rare. Most vampires have a group of humans who voluntarily let them feed off of them, as the bite of a vampire is not at all painful, and is in fact quite pleasurable, though it leaves the human feeling weak, and vaguely sickly for a few days.

Werewolves
Typical. Killed by means of silver, can transform at anytime if they feel the need to, but must transform the night before the full moon, on the full moon, and the night after. Werewolves are unnaturally strong, and fast even while in human form, but their true power can be accessed when they transform. Because of their physical capability werewolves are often sought after by vampire as daytime protection. Werewolves are fiercely loyal, and rarely betray a friend.

Demons
Demons are rare, usually summoned by human spellcasters, such as witches, warlocks, or wizards. When properly summoned the spellcaster has control over the demon, though demons can manipulate the meanings of orders they have been given to suite them. Wording is key when dealing with these creatures. They are extremely strong, though often slow moving. They tend to have innate magical abilities, though they are capable of casting very few spells. The ones they know are the only ones they will ever know. They cannot be killed, only banished, and the banishing ritual must be performed correctly, or the caster risks sending himself to hell. However, they can be bound, or enslaved, usually only by spellcasters, but the occasional vampire can control them for a short period of time. The best way to defeat them is not to summon them at all. Demons are capable of making deals with humans in exchange for their souls, and thus more power, though a demon will do everything in his power to find loopholes that either hurt the human, or allow the demon not to have to keep their end of the deal. Once again, wording is key when it comes to dealing with demons, though they are completely incapable of not keeping a promise.

Spellcasters
Spellcasters are almost always human. They dedicate their lives to studying magick, and thus, are granted great power. However, casting can leave these humans very tired, drained, possibly comatose, so they are careful not too overexert themselves. Ten spells a day is considered acceptable as long as they do not cast anything too powerful. They are physically weak, but extremely intelligent. They are better with strategy than actually battle, and tend to be weaker than the average human, though they are capable of inflicting the most damage. They are capable of achieving longevity (ie can live for an infinite number of years, but are still very destructible, and age as a normal human would).

Hunters
Hunters are almost all human, though some come from mysterious backgrounds. There are two kinds of hunters. Those who think they understand the creatures that lurk in the dark, and out of fear wish to exterminate them. (These are the most common) And those who actually understand those shrouded in a veil of night, and seek to aid them in keeping their secret.

Humans
Self explanatory.

Essentially. The creatures of night wish to keep their secret hidden, and in all actuality are not evil. They rarely kill humans (young vampire have a hard time with this, but with age, comes willpower) and seek only to live peacefully. Werewolves, are not particularly evil, but three days out of each month they are incapable of controlling themselves. Demons are of course evil, but only with the allowance of a human. If there are any questions, feel free to ask.

Rules
1. No Godmoding
2. No One liners. If it is done more than three times you will be kicked from the RP.
3. I am in charge, what I say goes.
4. If you wish to play a race that I have not mentioned, PM me and I will consider adding it.

All are accepted. We need some hunters, and I would like to have a few werewolves before we start. Werewolves are not necessary, it would just be helpful, and add a bit more diversity. I'd also like at least one more spellcaster, though again, that is not necessary, just a personal preference. If we don't get hunters by tomorrow, I'll post a second character and we can get started, ne? I hope you all enjoy! ^_^

OOOH, dark fantasy in a modern setting, my favorite.

Name: Edward Black

Age: 50 (real) 25 (apearance)

Gender: Male

Race: Hunter

Orientation: Straight

Bio: While visiting Prauge at age 19 Edward was unfortunate enough to incurr the anger of a particularly nasty (and unstable) Spellcaster, who attempted to summon a demon to harrass Edward. The Spellcaster's ambiguous orders gave the Demon a wide range of actions which he readily comitted, nearly killing Edward when the hotel he was staying in collapsed. Edward woke up in the house of a Hunter, who nursed him back to health and taught him about the dark reality of the world; driven by his desire of revenge Edward asked to be trained as a Hunter, but his savior told him that unless he was willing to acccept that not all creatures of the dark were evil, he would never be able to find justice. It took a long time for Edward to learn this, but after killing several vampires he realized that they weren't boodthirsty beasts, and that the only truly evil creatures in the world were Demons. He then began to train himself in the holy arts as well as his physical abilities, soon discovering a sacred ritual through which he could extend his lifetime so long as he delvivered the holy justice of the Lord and protected the innocent from the creatures of hellfire. He has now come to Faeda in his continual search for demons and their kin.

Personality: Not your typical paladin/holy warrior of God, Edward is hardly the perfect Christian; he is somewhat rude and has a knack for insulting people while giving them compliments at the same time; he drinks, smokes, curses and enjoys the company of the fairer sex more than he should; he can be somewhat of a sarcastic ass at times, especially when hunting, but remains focused on his mission.

Weapons: Twin three-barreled handguns with a variety of firing modes(three at once, one at a time, all in quick succession) and ammo (holy silver bullets, armor piercing rounds, spread shot, explosive rounds). He also has a steel katana he keeps tied to his side in such a way that his overcoat hides it, the complex knot gives him a slight limp when walking, but can be undone with a simple pull in the right place. He carries several metal spheres that have different effects when activated; some unleash a brief flash of light (not enough to kill, just to temporarily blind), some are smoke grenades laced with a mild sedative, and there are many more varieties (even he's not sure what some of them are supposed to do).

Fighting Style: He experly uses the multiple settings and ammo of his guns, and hardly ever needs to wield his katana, however, he is profficent with it and can hold his own in a close-range fight. He uses his metal spheres only to surprize his quarry, knowing that using them in the middle of a fight is not the smartest thing to do.

Appearance: Edward wears a stylish grey overcoat with a solid black celtic cross covering most of the back, he is 5'11" and 160 lb (not the most imposing figure around, but oh well), has light brown eyes and medium-length dark brown hair, his nore is somewhat crooked from being broken a couple of times and he has several small scars on his face, most notably three scars on his chin. Underneath the overcoat he wears light kevlar armor over a simple black button-up shirt and somewhat tight-fitting jeans.

Additional Information: Loves the ladies and can never ignore a damsel in distress.

Is he good?

LOVE the character legendaryratboy! Absolutely love it! But keep in mind, if it's demon's he's hunting for the most part, he'll need to know one of the rituals to banish said demons, since they are immortal. That is not to say that incapacitating them isn't a good idea, it's actually the smartest way to deal with them. They are perfectly capable of falling unconscious, and anything holy or blessed would do the job quite well in a more effective manner, but a banishing ritual is the only thing that can defeat a demon. (I know that's a tad bit overpowered, but it all races against one, so I had to give them something.) Another key thing to note, which I will put up in the description, is that as long as the ritual is cast successfully enough to banish the demon (or summon it as the case might be) it becomes up to the demon themselves to find something wrong with the summoning, or banishing ritual in order to turn it around, a task that can only be completed if the demon is conscious... I could talk about this for like another twenty minutes, so if you have any questions (demon, hunter, or spellcaster) just PM me and I'll go into more detail.

Actually I left that blank on purpose, because so far he has had other Hunters, priests, or spellcasters that could banish the Demons for him, so his first order of business will be to find someone who's willing to team up with him... seing as his last companion suffered a somewhat gruesome death. I didn't want him to be OP =).

Good deal. I hope it's okay that I just drool over your character for like a good two hours. He's hilarious, and awesome!
