From what I can tell they're basically shapeshifters whose sole purpose seems to be to lead humanoids to their death. Able to shapeshift almost at will into whatever form will most appease those they're trying to lure rather than simply having a singular form and alternating between having a tail or legs.

Though they do seem to have also been the basis for mermaids in some mythology and of that I'm not certain but given the description listed in the RP I'd probably think they're probably capable of shifting their fins into legs.

On the other hand perhaps they're closer to the depiction of Nixie's as seen in the Pathfinder RPG where they're small humanoids with webbed hands and feet but generally appear humanish bar slightly greenish skin.

Hey, could I also have a little more information about imprinting? How it's done, and what an imprinted relationship is like? Thank you!

I got a backlog of PM's to respond to, but I should probably address the questions in here first. Oh, I hope all of you had a nice Valentine's day yesterday and whatnot. This'll be a long post ^^

Sure that's fine with me

Fabricator wrote:As I'm so far the only hunter (unless I missed someone else reserving one), anyone fancy playing his protΓ©gΓ©? or at least someone who wants to apply for the role as he's not exactly looking for one. I kinda want someone to pester him into actually giving a damn primarily.

I've decided to go with John Hurt for the FC I think but I've got a couple of posts to get done tomorrow and also tidy the house up for someone sleeping in the spare room which is currently packed floor to ceiling with Christmas decorations I'm unable to single handedly put into the loft. So I'll probably get a WIP up sometime on Monday with an aim to finish it during Tuesday or at most by Thursday.

@IgnorantApathy, Well, succu sises are just as good, welcome to the clique xD

EDIT: @Fabricator, If Stark is cool with me taking another character, I'd actually be really interested in taking you up on that offer!


@Jack You haven't hit the limit for reservations or anything so if you want to make another character specifically for that role you can.

@Fabricator I'll be playing some of the NPC's as well throughout the RP so I'll probably be pming you about some relevant plot elements. Also, kudos for making an older character, didn't expect someone to go for it. I think your character would definitely be in a respected position in the Jaegers (Idk if you want him to apart of that particular clan on solo though)

Also, this is just a request - but for characters that are apart of a clan and do not possess the surname of that can, can we get some sort of list or could that information be put in the roster? Just because with the large amount of characters (which is really lovely!) it's hard to keep up with who's with who and all of that. ^^


That actually sounds like a pretty good idea, though it'll take me some time to track down just what everyone is and where they are, I'll get on ASAP. Also, I'll try and do what Fabricator suggested with the character portraits in the Clans and Families section so we have a reference point for everything.

Horseygirl wrote:Would anyone be interested in having a relationship chart of sorts? Something to see how the characters feel about each other? I find they are often quite helpful. That way people are kind of forced to ask people how their characters should interact, and some people decide to make potential love interests, enemies, friends, ect. It makes it interesting! If people are interested, I'd be willing to make one!


I'm a little busy right now, but if someone wants to make the chart I'll gladly make the thread ^^

JacksColdSweat wrote:I agree with the whole relationship thread, yeah. It also makes it a hell of a lot easier to see exactly who needs to be spoken to about discussing things.

But also! Suuuuper quick question for Stark. Just to be clear, so I don't mess up or anything, nixies do have the ability to shift their lower half into human halves, right? And if so, are there any terms on it? Like, they can only do it for a specified amount of time each day, stuff like that. Thanks!


Yes, they can, but the closer in proximity they are to water and the longer they stay in water the more likely their chances of transforming. Outside of water, they are able to keep a fully human form for convenience.

Hey Stark! I have been browsing RP's and came across this - I simply couldn't get this one out of my head. It is clear that you've put a lot of time and effort into this, and I would love to be a part of it. Here are the two characters that I would like to submit for consideration. I will begin to work on my character sheets straight away.

::First Character::

Face Claim: Kerli Koiv
Race: Occult - Nixie
Age: 21
Clan/Family: N/A
Black and White Photo: Option 1 || Option 2 || Option 3



::Second Character::

Face Claim: Samuel Larsen
Race: Human... (I was thinking, just having him as a regular old human. Nothing special, but really that is dependent on what you think. Otherwise, I suppose he could be a Familiar, or I could always work something else out.)
Age: 19
Clan/Family: N/A
Black and White Photo: Option 1 || Option 2 || Option 3 || Option 4


As for what my favorite movie is... I dunno. That's a really hard question >.<
I guess right now, I'd say:
Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Hobbit Trilogy, Donnie Darko, Men In Black (all), Jurassic Park (all), Indiana Jones (Temple/Raiders/Crusade), The Boxtrolls, Castle In The Sky... really anything Studio Ghibli. This list could easily go on...

That's fine, and I think it'll be a fresh addition to our already wonderful cast of characters. I was thinking there might not be anyone who wanted to play human characters except for myself for a second. though that's to be expected when you have more interesting options I guess.

@Everyone else
I've updated the front page as well as the first post, and accepted some more characters, I also added player characters to the clans and families thread as well as designated them on the front page for convenience. I'll start working on the Relationship Sheet template in a bit, and might have the thread up by later today or even tomorrow. I actually have a lot of relations I want to string out between multiple characters, I just need to collect my thoughts and make it all cohesive. So some of you should expect PM's, but of course you can always send me one in case you want something between your character(s) and mine. ^^ I'll be around!

For the characters of note... if we interact with them, are you going to do their roleplaying, or can we do whatever we want. I'm just asking because my character is in a relationship with one of them?

No, you can do the rping yourself for that character unless there is something plot specific that I need that character for, otherwise you're free to control their actions unless I say otherwise.

Sibylle is just about done. All I need to do is write out her personality segment which will be completed tomorrow. Note though, I changed her registered age from 21 to 18 and she is now a student studying instrumental music.

Koji will have more done tomorrow. Initially I was going to make him a 19 year old student, if you saw, but now he's a 23 year old novelist and hunter.

...Leave it to me to make two (albeit different) serial killers for one roleplay. Well! This should be fun!

I'm also looking forward to this roleplay, the response for it is incredible and I have to admire you, Stark Contrast, for all the work you're doing for this. Also, thank you for including the clans in the roaster, it helps a lot actually hahah. ^^

Going to post this on all the RP's I'm a part of right now:::

While some lucky bastards are getting snow, we're getting an ice storm.....
Unlike fun fluffy snow, Ice causes a crapload of power outages, downed lines, and etc. fun stuff. So, while I think it would be reasonable for power to come back on within a day if it does go out, I remember an icestorm back when I was kid and we had no power for almost a week, so I figured I'd post here and just let you guys know what's up in advance if I stop coming online. Buttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt, it shouldn't be as bad as the storm I'm remember from childhood.....unless the meteorologist are wrong, which could TOTALLY be the case.

Besides getting some really epic photos of ice on trees, Ice storms suck! I want snow Mother Nature, you jerk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =( >.>

(I can't see this RP starting in the next day or two so this shouldn't be an issue for this RP..still figured I'd post it.)

I hope the ice storm hitting you will be merciful, not having power is seriously dreadful. Good luck and stay safe!

Anyways, I finished Sibylle and will be working on Koji more now. Also, if anyone is interested in plotting go ahead and shoot me a message, I'll probably do the same later when reading through profiles.

Quick notes on Sibylle for those interested, one for Koji will come later as he's being finished.

Sibylle Steinmann
Vampire | 189 / '18' | Student, Music - Instrumental | Downtown | Hospital Volunteer
Essentially a woman who wiped away her humanity for survival, her instinct to continue living - even violently - is strong. Having married into a mostly extinct clan known as 'Steinmann' that built themselves on the philosophy that vampires are the master race and are right to inherit their blood lust she is a supremacist and considers all other occult species and humans to be inferior to her and other vampires. However, she loathes vampires that refrain from drinking human blood and considers them traitors of their own kind. Cunning, self-serving, methodical and unstable, while she knows how to don the right masks to make anyone a fool she is inherently dependent. Dependent on using humans for her food source she travels frequently to continue murdering in order to remain strong enough to resist the eternal sleep, otherwise she will steal blood bags from hospitals. Additionally she is dependent on her masks and charms to maintain wealth, often taking advantage of 'sugar daddies' to sustain her luxurious lifestyle, which typically ends in her feeding on them. Considered a musical prodigy (though she has had over a century to practice playing and composing for various instruments, especially violin) Sibylle's only passion seems to be of music, and of collecting fine china.

So unfortunately. upon attempting to update the character roster today I was met with a site error that wouldn't let me past no matter what I did, so I decided to take the roster out of the opening and put it into a new thread (surprisingly this is somewhat more convenient). So from here on out you can go to the thread for roster updates, it is also linked in the Introduction.

elk-river-the-characters-t94787.html#p2058702

EDIT; as far as the first post is concerned all roles excluding humans have at least 1 spot open. I've decided that we definitely need more males in this RP, so Female Apps are on hold until further notice, and I'll see about making a Relationship Thread today, as I'm trying to figure out if there should be a division between character identities. I'm thinking of going with a split between adults and students.

Here's that thread:
elk-river-relationship-thread-t94788.html

Hopefully we'll get started soon, but we still have some unfinished sheets so I'm being patient. My goal for starting is Thursday or Friday if possible.
