Enter The Night {Night World roleplay} ooc (open)

Falling Sky · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **Falling Sky** on Tue Apr 27, 2010 11:43 pm

This is loosely based off of L.J. Smith's 'Night World' series. You don't have to read the books in order to join.

Humans live their everyday lives oblivious to the supposed 'mythical species' living amongst them. If news got out that the creatures from their ever-loved fiction novels got out there would be mass chaos. For that reason the leaders of the Night World have made exposure to the humans a crime punishable by death. Since the beginning of time this is the way things have been, but an odd occurence has been threatening the balance of both sides way of life. The 'Soulmate principle' is described as the everlasting bond between two creatures, once they met they are bound together even after death. Recently people of the Night have been bonding with humans and struggling to keep their true selves hidden. As an extreme precaution, the Night leaders have ordered all creatures with human soulmates to both be eliminated. For this reason many of Night people stay away from their human mates and watch longingly from a distance. There are some though, that dare to go against the law and openly have a relationship with their soulmates.

Within the witch society are three Circles to which all witches belong to. Circle Twilight, which consist of peaceful witches. Circle Midnight, which is made up of witches who practice dark magic. And lastly, Circle Daybreak, this is a renegade group who believe in teaching humans magic and peace between the two worlds. Circle Daybreak is kept secret from the Night council since all of its members are breaking one of the two strict rules-never allow humans to gain knowledge of the Night World's existence. Circle Daybreak provides safe havens for humans and their Night world mates, but the risk of being found out and put to death is still very high. The Night council and its loyal followers are not the only ones you should worry about, there is another threat. Hunters, both human and creature, are always lurking around, killing the innocent. Human hunters do it as a way to rid the world of as many mythical species as they can. Non-human hunters tend to kill their own for different reasons, they may be heartless enough to accept money from humans to kill their own, or maybe they despise what they are. Whatever the the reason may be, hunters are very dangerous and unfortunately, everywhere.

Can you survive?

Rules;
I am the sole GM of this roleplay, follow my rules and we'll get along just fine.
Romance is encouraged but anything above PG-13 should be taken to PM.
Although romance is highly encouraged I don't want it to be the central theme of the RP.
Violence is accepted and will happen, don't go around mindlessly hacking people up with meat hooks though.
More colorful language is acceptable but every sentence shouldn't end with "F*** YOU MOTHERF*****"
I won't be too strict with post word-count, there should be no one-liners though. I'd like for everyone to post atleast a decent paragraph.
If you're going away or dropping out please notify me ahead of time.
Most importantly, be creative and have FUN! I want everyone to enjoy the rp.

Species;
Humans-self-explanatory.

Vampires-
Lamia~those who are born as vampires. They age, eat and grow as humans do, but also have the ability to stop the aging process at any point they please; however, once a lamia that has stopped aging decides to begin aging again, the aging process will be accelerated so that their physical appearance will match their true age in a short amount of time. Also, the Lamia are able to have children, unlike the "made vampires"

Made-vampires~are humans that have been made into vampires by exchanging blood with lamia or with another made vampire. Since older persons cannot survive the physical transition, all made vampires look about age nineteen or younger. Also, unlike lamia vampires, made vampires do not age, eat and cannot reproduce.

Both lamia and made vampires have superhuman strength, speed, and agility and can have telepathic powers. They are not harmed by sunlight and cannot transform into bats. They need human blood to survive. Vampire cells are unable to carry oxygen and therefore, vampires must acquire human blood cells for them to breathe (thus making blood consumption more to do with respiration than nutrition.) They are immortal but can be killed and are vulnerable to wood and fire.

Witches-pratice magic with herbs, gemstones, effigies, and incantations.

Werewolves-naturally wolves they have the ability to take on the form of a human. In order to survive wolves must kill because they need to consume organs. Even in human form they keep their animal instinct and are prone to be violent. They are harmed by silver.

Shapeshifters-are humans who have the ability to change into an animal. They can only turn into one certain kind and do have the ability to take on a halfway form in which they take on a semi-human form with physical traits of their animal self. Like werewolves they can be hurt or killed with silver.

Dragons-the most rare and strongest type of shapeshifter appear to be human except for their pure black eyes. They have the choice to take on any animal or appearance of a person they come in physical contact with. In their dragon form there is only one way to kill them and that is by cutting off their horns.

Old Souls-humans who after death reincarnate and are born into another life. In their next life they can still recall events from their former self. An old soul never truely dies.

Character Form;

Nickname?

Sadie, Jazz, or Sara
Age:
Physically; 26
Actually; 142
Sexuality:
Pansexual
Species:
Human~Old Soul
Soulmate?
No one yet
Ability/Powers:
None
Personality:
Sadira is a few things: Genial, caring, easily forgiving, protective, and a good listener. She can be a little reserved when you first meet her, but that is only because she tends to be very shy around people she's meeting for the first time. Once she gets the chance to warm up to you more you'll find that she is a very nice person. She cares deeply for her friends, and although she isn't much of a fighter, Sadira will always try to protect the people she cares about. She isn't one to hold a grudge for too long, usually she'll try to make amends with that person, but if that doesn't work she'll just cut you off as a friend and move on with life. She hates arguements and fighting and always tries to find a non-violent way to settle things. When shes in a bad mood or upset about something, rather than bothering people with her problems she'll clam up and seclude herself from everyone. During the rare times when she openly gets angry and yells at someone her outburst are quick and loud, but soon she walks off and finds some way to deal with whatever is irritating her. While she doesn't believe she is the wisest of people when it comes to givng advice, Sadira is always willing to help someone out, or atleast listen to them. Shes always inclined to sit down and listen to someones problem, even if she doesn't have any advice to give you she'll still be quiet and listen as long as you want her to. All-in-all Sadira is a gentle person who is accepting of others and always trying to bring peace.
History:
Sadira has lived an interesting life, or lives you could say. Being an Old Soul, after she dies shes born into another life. Originally she was born in France during the year of 1868 and her name was Sophiana. Her first life was a normal one, she grew up in a working class family and married at 17 after joining her mother's business as a fellow seamtress. She never had any kids in her first life, always being busy with work and taking care of her two other sisters children. Her husband died at the age of 60 from illness, five years later Sadira passed on. Her next life started in the United States, New York City to be exact. There she was the child of a single mother who was trying to make it in the city as a jazz singer. Unfortunately she never became as famous as she had hoped. Times were hard, growing up during the Great Depression, Sadira, known back then as Samantha, found odd jobs whenever she could to help support her mother, who was still blindly trying to chase fame. With the seamtress skills from her former life she opened up a small clothing store with every penny she had and made ends meet that way. Once the Depression was over she and her mother left the city and moved down to the South in Georgia where her mom married a farmer. This was where Sadira spent the rest of her second life. She died of natural causes in 1981. Her third and current life began in Egypt. She was born into a wealthy family, her mother was a model and her father a successful CEO. She went back to New York City to attend college and persue a carreer in the fashion industry. Sadira has joined up with Circle Daybreak since she believes that everyone should be able to freely love whoever they are matched with. She hasn't found her true soulmate in any of her lives but is being very patient about it.

Sounds interesting. I'm interested in playing a dragon, but I have two quick questions. One, how old can Dragons be, and two, do you have to be apart of a circle, or can you independent/rogue.

Falling Sky · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **Falling Sky** on Sun May 02, 2010 6:35 pm

I'm glad you're interested. Dragons are usually anywhere from 500 to 1000 years old since they were the first shapeshifters around they aren't but so young. Its up to you as long as it isn't a rediculously old age like 200,000 or something like that. And no they don't have to join any of the circles.

Josh has apathy to the struggle for peace and harmony among the humans and Night World since humans from the start of their existence have made little progress towards global utopia. Despite these major flaws, Josh’s only redeeming factor is find a way for vampires to acquire blood without feeding on humans.

History: Coming Soon

Appearance:
Dragon:

Current human form:

Name: Calexapr, Currently goes by the name of Karl Anderson while in human form
Nickname: Cale
Age: 842 years, appears to be in early to mid-twenties in human form
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Species: Dragon
Soulmate: None yet
Ability/Powers: None
Personality: Calexapr is a creature of great honor, and his sense of honor has been honed over the centuries. He tends to be very serious and aloof, especially with those he doesn't know or has just met, but he also enjoys having a good time. While a warrior and soldier of great skill and prowess, he tries to remain unnoticed both in the night world, and especially in the human world. He regularly fakes his own death, coming back in the form of a fallen comrade or foe, always one who died long ago, and never one who was famous.
History: While Cale has an excellent memory, it starts to dim after several hundred years, leaving the memories of his birth and childhoo faint. In his 200 year, he was very reckless, raiding and pillaging up and down the Scandanavian Peninsula, and even down into the Germanic countries. He eventually decided that it would be in his best interest find stop his adventures for his own continued safety and welfare. Utilizing his shapeshifting abilities, he joined human society, quickly finding a place in their warrior castes. He lived multiple lives in the Scandavian and Germanic lands, serving in the majority of the european wars, always faking his death when people became suspicous of his apparent lack of aging, or if he started to become to well known. During all this time, while he grew a deep love and appreciation of the Germanic and Scandanavian people, he never felt any true sense of belonging or allegiance for any of those nations. Eventually in the late 19th century he immegrated to America. He had previously had contact with America serving as a Hessian mercenary suring the American Revolution, and had been impressed by the people and the land. When he finally chose to move there, he immediately fell in love with the nation and its people. He served in the American Military in both World Wars, and the majority of conflicts since. He has graduated from each military academy at least once, and from West Point on three seperate occasions.

I hope this is good, sorry for the long history. It takes a bit to cover 800+ years.

XxXDreamstressXxX · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **XxXDreamstressXxX** on Wed May 05, 2010 11:32 am

Name: Naveen Tarasov

Nickname: Veena

Appearance:

(Fly if this doesn't work i have an alt)

Age: 21
Actual age: 140

Sexuality: Straight

Species: Lamia

Soulmate? : Don't have one yet

Ability/Powers: She can read minds to an extent in addition to her normal powers

Personality: Naveen is spoiled and vain in many ways, she doesn't really like hard work or sitting around doing literature work. If she doesn't get what she wants when she wants it she can be prone to temper tantrums, despite this she can be a caring individual at times. She has an inner circle of people, these are the only ones she would put her neck out for, the sole exceptions to her seemingly childish heart. The ongoing battle between the three circles annoys her to no end and she wishes it would simply be over and done with. Despite her flaws, Naveen is a fighter physically and verbally, if she can't overcome you with physical blows she will do so with wit. Whatever method she chooses to use Naveen refuses to go down without a fight, kicking and screaming all the way. She has her moments when she acts like a lady, charming and charismatic, she can shield her nature at the snap of a finger.

History: Naveen was born into wealth, privileged and power titles and glittering grandeur. Raised among the best of the best Naveens parents were always gone, leaving her to be companioned by butlers and maids for much of the time. However they always arrived back in time for birthdays and other social events of young Naveens life. She discovered a love for two destructive things as she grew, men and power. She craved both, though she was never allowed to be alone she found plenty of ways to flirt with young suitors and sneak away from guards to seduce and feed on some poor human boy. Despite this, she was never known to be cruel she killed them swiftly and never wasted a drop, greedy? Perhaps but she chose her prey with skill.

Once she reached her current stage of life, her "young adult" hood Naveen mellowed out, still enjoying her abilities to toy with young men but doing so only when she really needed to. Hunting isn't work for her, it's a game of extremes wit and cunning will, one she enjoys playing. However every so often, every "blue" moon as many would say, Naveen found herself rather lonely, wondering, what it would be like. These times would come and go over the years for Naveen, her vanity emerged once she turned 19. Blooming beautifully Naveen became rather self absorbed in her looks and exceedingly demanding, few were spared her temper and many felt the brunt of it.

Naveen never really got involved in the political war between the other clans until she found a made vampire about to be killed by a duo of Night Circle. Her reasoning (Shallow as it may have been) she intervened and saved the vampire, purely based off the fact she found him too cute to leave to death. Though nothing came out of the event, she left him somewhere safe and went about her way Naveen had discovered a little piece of herself that day, beneath the surface she had a heart somewhere deep down, sometimes it felt.

katastrophy · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **katastrophy** on Wed May 05, 2010 2:37 pm

Name: Logan "Wulf" Rowe
Nickname: Logan to most people. Wulf to close comrades.
Age: 26
Sexuality: Straight as a pole.
Species: Werewolf.
b]Ability/Powers:[/b] N/a.
Soulmate: Tbd.

Appearance:

Logan stands at an impressive height of 6'4 with broad shoulders and strapping arms and a burly built to match. He is a generally large man with a boyish charm to his face, with his chiseled nose and cleft chin and small yet expressive amber orbs to match. He has a crown of straight soft dark chocolate colored hair, that almost looks ebony in hue, with lazily lie on his head and sweeps to the right. Whenever he’s in his human form, he usually just wears a dark leather jacket over his shirt or just his plain shoulders, more comfortable with just a jacket on then levels of clothes.He does have a tattoo of the words 'If you're gonna lie, lie big' along his right arm. 1 and 2.

Personality:

Logan in a few short words is: apathetic, sarcastic and hot headed. He has problems dealing with people due to his immense short-temper. He loves violence, reasonable or unreasonable, always the first one to get physical or verbal in some cases, but he chooses his enemies wisely. Logan considers himself a good judge of personality, which is his first basis of attack when he is in a good mood; but when he's pissed, he'd settle for the first guy he sees. Despite being such an ass, he sticks for his friends though, loyal through and through and is willing to go through extremes for them; the only time he shows any sign of humanity is when he helps them. He also a little fascination with fire which explains his cigarette habit. Being such a hothead, he usually relies on emotions not on instict, on his fists rather than his mind, which, even with his brute strength, usually gets his ass kicked by those who are smarter than him.

History: Logan lived a childhood of independence and impulsiveness; being a natural born part of the Night world as one of the wolves, he was easily brought up by parents who only taught him two things in his life: one, how to transform into a human if needed and two, how to feed himself. Even though he’d never had a taste of human flesh, from childhood, he’d wondered how it would taste like and has yet to try it. Logan was a fierce believer of self-preservation that was within reason. Throughout his early adulthood, he easily got into a lot of fights, not only because of his immensely short temper and love for violence, but because of the evident racism that existed in the Night World. It was when he was sixteen did he meet his pack members, strong and solitary figures, and the only few people he trusted. Much like them, he distrusts the Night council and their fear for humans, thinking that they were far too superior over them to ever truly be scared of them mingling with the night world.

MilkHoney · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **MilkHoney** on Thu May 06, 2010 12:12 am

Name: Urania Charlemagne & Nicolas Lynd
Nickname: Uri & Lynd
Age: 32
Sexuality: Bisexual
Species: Shapeshifter ~ Old Soul
Soulmate: TBA
Ability/Powers: shapeshifting
Personality: Due to piling memories of previous lives, Urania’s personality is a collaboration of all her previous personas. She acts on whims, finding no fault with being for the moment and thinking it dull to maintain consistency. Having experienced a multitude of deaths and painful lives, Urania is tentatively becoming a pacifist, but hasn’t killed her animal instinct of flight or fight when endangered. Even though she knows she will reincarnate after death, she takes her mortality seriously, and is fearful of death as much as she is paranoid about becoming a vampire. Her survivalist tendencies wage war with her fancy for spontaneity and curiosity.
As Nicolas was an early life, without the complications of centuries of reincarnations, it is easy to imagine him as a separate creature from Urania. So easy in fact, that Urania herself slips into his persona when she shifts, with the knowledge of not being Lynd becoming a peripheral memory. Unthinkingly sexist, but charmingly polite, with a dash of white knight complex, Lynd is trying to secure a wife for himself (hitherto unsuccessful as Urania stopped believing in the institution and Lynd doesn’t have time to propose before the next shift). This might be split personality disorder, depending on whether the psychology was aware of Night and its denizens.
History: Urania has had a long history of reincarnation. She is the oldest she’s ever been, having died at young ages in all her previous lives. But something odd happened this time around: she was born as a shapeshifter, instead of a human, and her animal form is none other than herself from a past life. When Urania shifts, she becomes Lynd, a young man who died of plague centuries ago. Lynd is a useful disguise, and is certainly less conspicuous than a werewolf.
Urania keeps in contact with her present biological mother, sister and brothers, but can’t stand to be around them. All of the family are raccoon shapeshifters, making her the runt of the litter. Trying to retain some connection with them, she wears colorful beads and metal jewelry, reminded of their fascination with shiny objects. She left the backwoods of her home for city life, and rents a room in a brownstone. To pay the bills, Urania does odd jobs in the Night community, like finding ingredients for the Midnight witches and acting as a proxy for werewolf packs wishing to reserve a night on park land. She considers herself neutral in the scheme of Night politics, but her work ethic of never working pro bono slants her toward working for certain groups more than others.
