Thou Shall Not Crave Thy Neighbor [ooc&su]

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Rawrr on Thu Sep 16, 2010 4:04 pm

Thou Shall Not Crave Thy Neighbor
RP based on the TV series, True Blood.

In the universe of True Blood, vampires have recently come out of the coffin due to the creation of synthetic blood by the Japanese called TruBlood. Humans around the world are uneasy about creatures of horror stories being real and even demanding rights that the humans themselves enjoy. It also raises the question about what else is out there but just isn't in the light. The only thing that is certain is that the modern world is in for a struggle when it comes to dealing with the supernatural.

The story will take place in an old town of Lemont, Illinois, perhaps sixty miles from Downtown Chicago. The town is small enough for everyone to know each other, but it's also small and quiet enough to invite vampires who wish to mainstream with society.

Races: Humans, Vampires, Shifters, Weres.
- Humans: They are the most common race in the world. They are fruitful in numbers and hold a sort of monopoly over how well vampires can assimilate into their society. Their greatest weapon against them is sunlight. Human beings are very versatile.
- Vampires: The newest race to be introduced to the public, they are dark powerful creatures. Old ones can change shape and some even fly. Experienced vampires are capable of glamoring humans. Despite having TruBlood, there are some who resent being outed and want nothing more than to live as they once did. Every race does have a better side though which is reflected by the ones who make a effort to ease into human society. A few vampires have even became political, starting groups such as the American Vampire League. They are also allowed to run businesses and it is illegal to kill them. In some states, it is legal to marry one however.
- Shifters: Not much is known about the shifter race. They appear to be human but they have the ability to change into any animal they desire as long as they have a model nearby to base their transformation off of. They are not known to the public.
- Weres: Races who appear human at certain times but take full animal forms during the next. They are not known to the public. (Panther, wolf, etc.)

There is no telling what else is out there...

Glossary

TruBlood: The drink of choice for conservative vampires looking to take the edge off their hunger. It tastes horrible but it is available at almost every convenience store.
V: Vampire blood that is being taken as a stimulant. It's effects are but not restricted to enhanced senses, visions, and accelerated healing. It is highly addictive and is very lethal in large amounts.
Fangbanger: The name practically says it all. A fangbanger is a person who, openly or not, associates intimately with a member of the vampire race.
Vampire Districts: There are five vampire districts. Each one has a sheriff that holds up the rules set up by the tribunal.
Fellowship of The Sun: A religious group that is anti-vampire. They have been working their way into the political world. The former leader and his family were possibly murdered by vampires.
Turning: In order for a human to become a vampire, there must be sharing of the blood. Then the victim must be buried underground for a day's time for the transformation to be complete.
Tribunal: The vampire court. All vampire law breakers are taken to them to receive punishments.
Silver: The metal severely weakens a vampire no matter the amount. Vampire's skin melts on the spot where the silver touches him/her.
Hepatitis D: A disease found in the bloodstream that has no affect on humans. But when exposed to a vampire, it an paralyze them for up to months at a time.

Note: Those who are not vampires do not commonly know about the districts, tribunal, or ways to kill a vampire.

For each person, I want people to play two characters, one a supernatural and the other human. I'm sorry, Ariki, you gotta choose either vampire or shifter, and then make a human with that.

Name & Nickname:
Chantelle Isobelle Matthews but call her Elle.
Gender: Female
Age: Nineteen.
Race: Human

Appearance: Chantelle is no longer the 'giraffe' she used to be. Elle is now curvy. Well curvier then she was a couple of years ago. With her bra size being a C, she has obviously grown in that area, her bra size being an A, a couple of years ago. Her curves are all in the right places. Elle is five feet and six inches tall. A couple of years ago, she was considered a giraffe, because she was just a skinny stick and to some, she was quite tall. But now that she's got curves and some people are actually taller then her, she's no longer going under that horrid nickname. Her fairly straight brown locks reach her shoulders and there are some lighter browns mixed in their, naturally of course. Her eye color is actually quite close to the color of her hair, something she gets from her grandmother. Her nose is the typical Matthews nose, something which most people notice straight away, if they know any of her siblings. Her pinkish lips tend to look redder then they actually are and she tends to just smooth a protective lip balm over her them, or a stylish lipstick. Elle often wears summer dresses, like in the picture but she's not afraid to just wear a tank top and skinny jeans. She normally wears whatever is comfy and whatever she looks good in. She has a scarily large collection of flats with a couple of sneakers and heels chucked in their as well. And stylish boots, something she adores along with flats.

Personality: Don't waste your breath if your going to be an optimist or pessimist about something. Chantelle is realistic when it comes to things. She's not one to dampen the mood or lighten the mood, she'll be truthful and realistic. She hates getting people's hopes up or destroying dreams, so she tends to stay in the middle. Although Elle is quite sweet and caring, god..she can be a real bitch. Mess with her family or friends, and you'll be regretting it. She's known for her 'sweet' revenge, so you better watch out. Sometimes her revenge is simple and doesn't really have a big effect on the person but other times, it's big and you'll be afraid to step out into the public eye, without someone coming up to you and talking about it or laughing at you. Elle's temper isn't that bad. She hates to yell and confront people, so revenge is normally what she ends up doing. As surprised as you may be..after saying what I have just said..Chantelle is actually a quiet girl. She doesn't talk unless being talked too and it takes a lot of confidence to drum up a couple of sentences to start a conversation. This meaning, Elle is actually quite shy. When it involves talking to people, she's shy but when it involves revenge, she's not afraid to poke around in private business, being confident. Chantelle is honest. She was raised that way and has stuck by that family value, even though she hasn't stuck with all the family values. Respect everyone, even your enemies. Why the heck would she want to be nice to people she hate? Elle get's the point of being respectful to people but seriously, if someone's broken her heart, why should respect them? Never mind about her family, you'll learn more about them in her history.

When Chantelle has known someone for a while, she becomes quite sensitive to harsh comments. Unless they are her forever rude 'friend', Simone. If it's her, it doesn't mean anything, it's just Simone being her plain old bitchy self. Why are they even 'friend's? Right..She is the daughter of one her father's colleagues..Anyway..more about that in the history. Chantelle still lives at home, her parents refusing that their youngest child leave him, still clinging onto their little girl. Most people are surprised to find out that she is a Matthews child. The Matthews are a fancy, spoiled and rich family. Not Elle though. She prefers simple and cheap but stylish, something which she manages to pull of a lot. Yeah..the Matthews live in this small town. Why? People were too rich and famous in the last town they were at, so they moved when Chantelle was sixteen and since then, she's been known as the as the Matthew's Spoiled Baby Girl, which is very annoying as three years later, the nickname has stuck. But call her that and Elle may have some revenge tucked up her sleeve. Or she'll just come right out and piss you off like you've never been pissed off before.

Life doesn't suck. It only sucks if you make it suck. So if your just gonna be all depressed about stuff and not try to talk to her? Your just letting yourself slip further down that drain which will make the relationship crack and eventually, when you d come running for help, she won't help you. You already had a chance to come to her, why didn't you do it then? Elle will just sit back there and let you talk, cry on her shoulder and hug you. But Elle expects the same back. If she's upset, she want's someone to cry with and hug. But if you ignore her when she needs help, she'll do the same back. What goes around comes around. Basically Karma. Yeah she believes in Karma..sorta. Well when she get's revenge on people, guilt does hit her and sometimes people get revenge back, but she still get's revenge. It's kinda her thing. But she still believes in Karma. She's not spiritual and all that rubbish, but Karma is something she does have tucked into her pocket. Romance. Chantelle loves hearing about it, reading about it and even talking about it. But she wears her heart on her sleeve and falls in love way too easily. She get's her heart broken easily, very easily and most of the time, that is because she refuses to have sex. Elle is still a virgin and plans on being a virgin until she is married. It's another family value she's stuck with but this is her personal choice, not her parents demands. Fairy tales. Elle loves them. It may seem childish but it has and always been part of her. She loves dreaming about them and want's to live her own happy ever after, with the man of her dreams and a few adorable children. And yes, Chantelle plans on having kids.

History:
Chantelle was a mistake. Yeah..harsh I know..but true. Brian Matthews was about to undergo an operation which would insure that he and wife, Isobelle, would have no more kids. They already had eight kids, when Isobelle announced that she was pregnant. Boy she was shocked when that pregnant test proved her guess to be right and so was Brian but they went along, yet another pregnancy, and soon enough, Isobelle held a baby girl in her arms. Her siblings weren't too happy about her arrival. Now that there were nine kids, they had to fight for attention even more. But her siblings still loved her very much and were very protective of her. Growing up, Chantelle was a gorgeous little girl, who forever followed her siblings, being their little shadows..which annoyed them, a lot. But they got used to it and held her hand when she wanted to go to the milk bar with them and got her lollies when she wasn't allowed to come.

Soon enough, the things her siblings did, started becoming too dangerous for her, Elle started spending more time with her parents. She wasn't a mommy's girl and she wasn't a daddy's girl..She was in between. If she needed help, she would go to her mother but if she was in trouble with someone, she'd go to her father. Elle went to church each week with her family and ever since she was little, she's had a lot of trust in the church and believes almost everything, even if it seems ridiculous. When Chantelle entered school, she was known as the little Matthew's kid. Which was very annoying. And she wasn't extremely talented at anything and she passed subjects with averages in most subjects, not really shining at any big thing. Her parents were just happy that she passed and made friends, not really minding that she wasn't super good at everything.

When they moved, Chantelle wasn't happy. She had good friends and they had a lovely house and now they are living in a small town. What were her parents thinking? Her parents just wanted to settle down somewhere, and while doing that, they picked up everything, including all their children and moved them to this town. That was a year and a half ago and Elle eventually slid into place, after six months or so. She's still known as spoiled, but believe me, she's not. She may seem it as their family is rather rich but she refuses to be showered with expensive clothes and stuff. Her room is practically the only really thing she likes her parents so shower her with as that's her private 'sanctuary'. Elle want's someone to love..a boyfriend preferably, considering she is straight. She want's someone nice.. preferably not a jerk that's not gonna mess with her heart and leave.

Chantelle's currently confused about her relationship to the church. She's starting to actually pay more attention to what she is believing in and is quite confused about why she is believing this stuff. Not that's she's showing it to her family or anything. Her family is quite involved in the church and wouldn't be happy to find out that their youngest daughter is questioning their relationship to the church. Elle's parents want her to wait to have babies and settle down with a family. But Chantelle just can't wait to jump into it. She's not going to rush herself though and won't rush anyone else, but the sooner the better. She want's to be fit and energetic when it comes to being a mother. Being a mother just seems like a dream to her..a dream that she can't wait to come true.

Other:
*Elle is still a virgin, for three reasons. One, it's a strict family value. Second, it's a personal choice and she just doesn't think she's ready yet. Three, she's scared of protection falling to work and getting pregnant very young, like her sister did.
* Her siblings; George and Georgia {22}, John {24}, Holly {26}, James, Anne and Kieran {28} and Polly {30}.
* Elle is an aunty to six kids; Ellen {14}, Maria {nine}, Joseph {six}, Kevin {4}, Lily {2} and Milly {6 months}.

Name & Nickname:
Andrew James Peterson but call him Andy. Lila calls him daddy.
Gender: Male
Age: Twenty-Five
Race: Shifter

Appearance: Truthfully, Andy's not the tallest guy around. But his certainly not the shortest. Standing at five feet and eleven inches, he is rather slender..in a manly way though. He's certainly not just skin and bones but his not all muscle..he's somewhere in between. He isn't the strongest guy around either but his strong and fast enough to stop a guy from doing stupid things to a girl. He often has quite a bit of energy which is needed, as he has to run after Lila quite a bit. He doesn't exactly style his hair, his messy brown locks just manage to look nice without him putting in any effort. His eyes are a wonderful hazel color, unlike Lila's gorgeous bright blue. Andy has stubble and often forgets to shave. When her forgets to have, it often starts growing into a beard. And he doesn't want a beard. Lila often reminds him when she kisses his cheek or hugs him because she complains, cutely of course, that his face is prickly. Andy's normally found in skinny jeans but he is NOT gay. As I said, he is normally found in skinny jeans or just ordinary jeans, with some sort of t-shirt on. Or if it's hot, a pair of shorts. His chest is not hairy and he actually looks hot in a pair of shorts, so don't complain. But at home, if he is by himself and Lila is asleep or at someone's house, and he has just had a shower, he'll probably just wander around naked. With the windows closed though, he's not particularly fond of strangers seeing him naked. Andy either wears sneakers or no shoes at all. He does have a pair of work boots for when it's muddy and he has nice fancy shoes, for formal occasions.

Personality: Andy is calm. That's just one of the reasons he's a therapist. He doesn't get panicky, unless something has happened to Lila. His calm attitude tends to calm and relax those around him. Saying this, Andy isn't always calm. If you hurt him or his loved ones, you better be running to your mummy because he can pack one mean punch. He get's angry really easily. He has no problem with confronting people and talking about it, but if you hurt him further, he'll just get his fists and feet ready. But he will never hurt his friends or family, apart from when someone like his best friend, has sex with his girlfriend, behind his back. Ouch. That's gotta hurt. That's why, Andy broke his nose. Yeah.. probably wasn't the best idea to punch him that hard, but he did anyway. Even though he didn't exactly mean to break his nose, just give him pain.

Andy's a sweet guy. He likes to help people and works quite well with children, another reason he's a children's therapist. He likes to laugh and isn't afraid to laugh at himself, if he does something stupid. He tend's to embarrass himself but he just laughs along with everyone else, not bothering to be all defensive and super embarrassed. Family and friends come before work, especially Lila. Andy often has a grin on his face when around Lila. She makes him happy, she makes him want to live life to the full. And she has no idea she's doing it. Andy want's to find a girlfriend but it's not his massive priority. He want's Lila to have a mother. A sweet, caring, motherly one..nothing like Miranda. Because, Andy's not sure about how he is going to go dealing with all the girl stuff and teenager years. He knows something though. If anyone breaks her baby girl's heart, they better watch out..Because he is one protective father.

History: More than 3 Paragraph

Other:
* Andy recently dumped Miranda his girlfriend of four and a half years for a few reasons. She cheated on him and fell pregnant, pretending that she was pregnant with his child, but she had a miscarriage. When she had Lila, she became a prostitute and spend barely any time at home. And he walked in on her, on Lila's third birthday, in bed with his best friend. He imeditally broke up and got court permission, to keep Lilia.
* He now has full custody of Lila, his four year old daughter.
* He is a children's therapist from the comfort of his own home.
* Yeah he smokes..not around his daughter though. And he hasn't been doing it that long..just since he dumped Miranda.

The only advice I could give you to make posts far more longer and juicy is to think of the 5 senses (touch, see, smell, taste, and hear), that'll help you describe the surroundings, as for the characters, it would be ideal to describe their emotions, facial features, every little behavior they do, and even thoughts, you know?

Name & Nickname: Alaine/Lainey
Gender:Female
Age: 23/23
Race: Shifter

Appearance: Alaine is known for her honey colored hair, the gorgeous strands stretching all the way down to her shoulder blades and is seen usually pinned up in a sloppy fashion. Speaking of fashion Alaine is slightly known for that as well, always wearing vintage. And nothing but vintage. Back on the hair note, the luscious wisps cover a high cheek boned face and curved lips. They're filled almost over the edge but not to the point where it looks like she's had a bo-tox injection and are usually covered with cherry red lipstick. As if genetically made for vintage, Alaine has a monroe beauty mark, not exactly a mole but just an oversized freckle. Alaine has had to lay in a few tanning beds to get the tan she has now, always using a certain cream to make sure the only freckle she has is the one on the right side of her top lip. She has thin lashes and thin eyebrows and usually has to drowned her lashes in mascara to get them looking fairly decent. Her chest is wonderfully filled out and she doesn't plan on getting a boob job anytime soon. Alaine stands at a 5 10 ", always trying to find someone taller than her that she actually likes. Too mad most men are her height.

Personality: Alaine isn't as nice as Adam is. Where he says "Please" and "Thank you" she says "Get it now" and "Why did you take so long". Her views on vampires vary. Some she's just fine with, hell she even thinks some are attractive. Others she would rather be away from. Alaine doubts she would ever work for one, which is the main reason she works only during the day- so she works under a human manager. Her views on just about everything vary; her father had a hunch that she was bi-polar, but they never got her tested.

Deep down, somewhere beneath all of the hatred an harshilaity, Alaine is actually a pretty cool woman. She's playful, and she loves a competition; but she can be a sore looser sometimes. Bringing Alaine a challenge in like inviting her to be your friend; even though she doesn't like to say if she likes a person or not. Relationship wise..well, she doesn't do relationships normally. She believes that having a boyfriend is only asking for someone to take care of you, it makes you weak. But maybe she actually needs someone to break the toughened shell?

History: On 1987, at approximately 7:45 P.M, in a slaughter house, Alaine Micheals was born. Her mother Carry was completely healthy, weighed 110 lbs, and was around 5 8'. Her belly had not grown other than a few extra pounds, she didn't have morning sickness, and mother nature had still visited her the month that Alaine fell out of her and hit the hard concrete floor where thousands of bacteria were. Carry had no idea that she was even pregnant, wasn't really trying to get pregnant, and didn't really want to get pregnant. Of course she showed as much love as she could to the unexpected baby, but had to work in a slaughter house while the father , Victor, worked as a sailsperson who traveled around the world.

That being said, Alaine was constantly thrust upon hundreds of babysitters, all of them unable to stay for the entire day and therefor having to retire after only a day; this being one of the reasons for her trust issues. Carry got very sick during one of the busiest months for meat and caught a nasty disease, soon after dying. Victor was left with the kid that was obviously unwanted, having to travel around the entire world with him.

School after school, friend after friend..7th grade was when Alaine decided to give up trying to make friends and just try to get some fairly decent good grades before she had to move again; but even that didn't help her get much credits when she couldn't finish a tri-mester at the same school.

Alaine found relief in the moving when she was in college, getting to stay in a dorm room and not having to move everywhere- she could finally make some friends, right? Only for a year until Victor moved to a whole different country. Where he finally met a woman that he could finally stay in one spot for, and loved her with all of his heart. That woman had a sun, pretty handsome, but much too nosy for his own good. Alaine was out of the house as soon as possible, hitting off the celebration with finding a job and working days under a human; she'd refused to work under a vampire.

Other:Lots of acquaintances call her honey, purely out of the color of her hair; the cocky ones call her honey for reasons that don't need to be explained.
She smokes. If you don't like it, she will more than likely tell you to get over it, and then proceed to blow the smoke in your face.

Name & Nickname:Adam/Nose
Gender:male
Age: 21
Race:Human

Appearance: Adam partly still has the "Baby face" that he's been teased about since 10th grade. His cheek bones are smooth, not very angular which makes his face more round. Along with the baby cheeks, his nose is a small button one and his baby blue eyes are a bit small as well. Shagging into his eyes, however, is his brown hair that's streaked with blond. He used to think the 'Scene' look was cool into he figured out that most everyone that liked that label was a clone, and began to let his colored hair fade; but the blond stuck around. His complexion is slightly tanned, almost an olive color. Standing at a mere 5 9 1/2" , his height isn't very intimidating; however his muscles are completely different story. Since he's mainly seen just wearing his rolled up skinny jeans, his six pack is open to stare at.

Personality: Adam is a pure gentlemen. He'll smile on the outside, maybe laugh at a joke that wasn't so funny, when in his mind he's only thinking of how stupid the joke was. He's not one to bare the bad news and usually gets out of telling people the nasty news. Adam isn't much of a talker, but he's a wonderful listener and tries to help out with whatever he can; he's even found himself shopping with one of his best friends, Lilly, because she didn't have a ride and she wanted an opinion on a sequin silver dress- he was teased about that for a while, taking all of the insults without a mere frown. The man doesn't like to wear shoes. He believes that the better relationship he has with the earth, the more good karma will come his way. The only reason he wears pants is to keep the cops away- being a pedophile at age 21 isn't in his list of To Do's.

Like most other guys, Adam isn't one for women being beaten by guys. That's the only time his temper will rise, and he'll actually say something that's not a "please" or a "thankyou". You could say he has anger problems but only certain things set him off. Only the small few of his best friends knows what they are, but mainly out of experience. Adam hates when people cry. He always feels like it's his fault even though it is far away from being. The only difference between him and a gentleman is he still gets mad at people, he just keeps it cooped up in his mind and usually writes things he'd want to say with them in an email- making sure not to send it, however.

Adam has been in the study of vampires for a while now. A small pocket book can be found attached to his hand where he always jots things down if he notices a difference in a fangbanger's personality after a night or two. The man is not against vampires, but he doesn't think he'd ever be in a relationship with one- they're too much trouble. however, he doesn't think that anybody should hate them- they were there first, right? He'll talk to the vampires. He'll party with a vampire, even though it's not his scene. But, like stated earlier, he doesn't think he could be in a relationship with one. He'd much rather stick with his own species.

History: No, he doesn't have any pity story about being raped, having a hard time through school, or having a father or mother that was murdered. Instead, his parents treated him completely normally like a normal family should have been. His school years were the best years of his life, and if he could, he would redo the entire number of years again. Sure, he wasn't the most popular guy in the school, or the best looking, but he had a numerous amount of friends that he could say are still his friends to this day. Maybe a bit taller and for sum chubbier, but they still act the same, and sometimes they even hang out in groups like they used to back in high school. Adam's father, however, died of cancer when Adam was in 10th grade. It hit him hard, but having good friends helped him get through it. His mother didn't go popping pills or kill or herself. She handled things perfectly fine; it even made her stop smoking.

Adam's mother never got another husband after that, didn't really try to start a serious relationship again. They had both vowed to call another man their "Hubby" or "Father" and that vow hadn't been broken until Carol, his mother, met an associate worker that had apparently been an ex in highschool. Eventually Carol broke her vow but Adam stayed up to date with him, always calling him Victor instead of daddy. Victor was a good man, treated Carol right, and even had a kid of his own. Being two years older than Adam himself, the girl wasn't much of an interest to Adam. He did, however, began to study her when he realized how much she liked animals.

Some days he would peek into her room to find her on the computer, staring at a picture of a random squirrel or a dog or bird or something. She seemed different somehow, but he could never figure it out.The two got along just fine, neither had a problem with the other. Adam made sure that no one hurt her or made fun of her- not that they had a reason to, Adam believed that Alaine was gorgeous.

At age 18 Adam was set on moving out; but the lack of a good paid job was thinking otherwise. He actually ended up having to work a double job and was out of the house one year later than he wanted to be, being 19 before he got the last box out of his room. Alaine was out of the house as soon as she possibly could, moving out of the house a few days after she'd turned 18. After that, Adam never seen Alaine again other than occasionally at the store and even then she wouldn't even look at him. He'd always wondered if he'd done something to upset her but as far as he could remember they got along just fine when and if they talked.

Intriguing.. must sign up. I do gots two questions about the weres though, can they be any animal like an eagle or a snake, or do they have certain restrictions? And do they change at will or only when certain requirements are met like werewolves and the moon? Oh and also, do they appear a different age to how old they truly are?

I haven't seen more than Tru Blood season one so far :P Also I've only managed to watch a few of those youtube vids, thar bes 195 so if it's explained in any of them then I haven't found it yet.

Weres can be any animal, but only that animal. And since the entire legend about Weres is involving the moon, yes, they'll feel a greater need to change but not necessarily overpowering. Like it's exctasy to change during the full moon. But they can change pretty much any time they please, especially when aggravated, though if knocked unconscious or injured and killed, they'll change back to their human selves.

Most weres were mentioned in Season Three, so I would assume you got nothing from Season one.

Also, to answer the age question, only vampires don't look their age, everyone else is mortal.

EDIT:
Weres live in packs, while shifters are solitary.

Info on SHIFTERS
They cannot change into animals that they haven't seen before, they either have to study the animals behavior and/or physically come in contact with one.

Name & Nickname:James Richard Mayes, to some he is Jamie, to most he is known as Arcas.
Gender:Male
Age: 26
Race: Werebear

Appearance: Jamie never quite fit in with the crowd, standing at a height of 6ā€™2ā€, weighing in at 220 lbs and built like a bear, he generally stood at the back looking like he was off in his own world. Jamieā€™s never really cared that much about his appearance and it is shown in the fact that he only cuts his dark brown hair if it ever reaches past his shoulders and how he seems to always have some form of stubble, once even having a full-grown beard for a couple of days. A lot of people seem to easily be freaked out by the way that his blue eyes simply stare through them, rather than at them and the grin or sometimes scowl that usually accompanies them. He is often told of his foolishness by his pack for not attempting to hide the scar on his arm that is reminiscent of a bullet wound and the fact that he hides the truth in plain sight of all humans by having a large tattoo on his back of a Norse warrior covered by a bear cloak kneeling in pain and bound by chains, and the tattoo that follows on from this on his chest of a mighty brown bear standing in triumph on his hind legs and surrounded by broken chains whilst he roars victoriously.

Personality: Many people have many different names for Jamie, wacko, idiot, nut job, drunk, psycho, junkie, the list goes on but they can all agree on one thing, heā€™s not quite sane. Like the light of the moon Jamieā€™s insanity seems to ebb and flow, at the worst heā€™ll reply with rambling sentences that donā€™t add up and make not an ounce of sense no matter how drunk you are, at his best heā€™ll reply with what most people like to call ā€œArcasā€™ Riddlesā€ which are simply sentences that make some sense but for the most part arenā€™t so easily understandable, most people still canā€™t work out why he calls vampires the damned children of Mantus or why he calls doormen and gatekeepers Hecates. The fact of the matter is that if you can decipher what he says itā€™ll turn out to be very truthful and sometimes quite insightful. Aside from Jamieā€™s slight insanity he likes to appear very kind, thoughtful and caring, listening when people and sad and trying to cheer them up, helping people when help is needed and defending others when theyā€™re hurt.

The reality of it all is that nobody truly knows Jamie for who he is, in fact only his pack and a rare few know his real name, and even they donā€™t fully understand him, most of them seeming dumbstruck by what he does and says. Those that know him slightly know that he enjoys teasing people with the truth and that he isnā€™t as caring as he pretends to be, heā€™s truthful, kind and thoughtful but he cares for very few people besides his pack. But when he cares about someone or something he will fight tirelessly to protect it, as he does for the truth and freedom. Those that know how much he believes in the truth have come to the conclusion that he is so broken because of his need to know the truth, but itā€™s an acceptable conclusion seeming that he fervidly debates that sanity is a prison that will hold you captive and drain your life whilst it hides you from the truth. Freedom is the only thing that comes close to his love of truth, he would happily die in the name of freedom and finds it hilarious that the vampires and humans believe they are free when he knows they are not and never will be for they refuse to see, this is actually part of the reason for his disliking of most humans.

He truly detests the majority of humankind, not because they are ā€œinferiorā€ but because they are fools, they wear tainted glasses of deceit that they refuse to take off because the truth scares them, they didnā€™t even believe in vampires and heā€™s sure that if they could theyā€™d shove them straight back into that coffin and forget all about them. Furthermore he does not understand shifters, the chimeras that stand-alone and blend into any society, yet they still choose to live a life of servitude without any of their kind to stand beside them blending in to their surroundings even when they are home. Oddly enough though he has no innate hatred, wonder, or love for vampires, he does not blame them for their imprisonment as for most of them it was not a choice, but he still does not see how they can believe for a second that they are remotely free because they have somehow escaped death. More than anything though he does not understand why vampires would reveal themselves to society, all throughout history anything that is different has been attacked and enslaved by humanity why are they different? In his life he has a simple belief and set of morals and rules he calls ā€œThe Masqueradeā€, everyone lives in a masquerade, humans, vampires, shifters, and it is no different for him. The rules are simple, do not kill unnecessarily, do not reveal oneself, and do whatever must be done to protect the masquerade whether it be to frame a man and get him imprisoned or to outright kill him and make his body disappear, as long as he and his pack are safe the masquerade is kept.

Unlike most Jamie is not so keen to allow his emotion to drive his actions, rarely has he made a choice that has been gravely directed by emotion, but rather it is always directed by logic. He believes totally that history shows that those who move with emotion are more likely to die then those who move with logic, though this is not always true and one must make sure they do not make all there decisions based on logic nor all on emotion for to do so is to become a slave to logic or your emotions. As can be told quite easily Jamie is a big lover of historian, so much so as to be called a fervid historian and a lover of mythology and legend. He never stops learning of history and most of his ramblings are related to some figure or event from history or myths and legends. But most of all he truly wants to find out what happened to create shifters, weres, vampires and all the other variants on humankind, so far he has been unable to find anything related to the weres and has come to the conclusion that the shifters are an offshoot of the weres from long generations of breeding with humans. As for vampires he has found what he believes to be the truth behind their origin, the ancient beast known as Cain, brother of Abel whom he says was cursed by god with imprisonment in unending life and a need to feed on the blood of others to survive after the killing of his brother, but that after several decades he managed to find a way to transfer the curse and created the first vampires whom he calls the ancients.

History: Born in Valyermo to a werebear mother whom he never met and a father who immediately introduced him into the pack several days after his motherā€™s death during birth, Jamie grew up in his packā€™s den The Asylum, a pretty prestigious nightclub that managed to hide the identity of the pack yet attracted the most drugged up, drunk, and aggravating crowd known to man. He was taught the values and codes of the pack as all his predecessors had been, but most importantly his father was adamant about teaching him of what he called The Masquerade so that his son may survive and be able to live a normal life without being hunted. Surprisingly enough not a single member of the pack can remember a time when Jamie spoke like a sane human being and managed to fit in, though they all recall the kid that was mute till the age of eight, by which time his father had already introduced him to the wonders of history and mythology and that his first words were that of the children of Janus, or to them, the weres. Nothing big really happened for the first sixteen years of Jamieā€™s life, by the time he was twelve his father had given up on him ever wearing the mask of the sanity and had become the only man known to be able to interpret Jamie whilst the rest of the pack simply accepted him and laughed when he tried to talk to anyone outside of the pack.

During his sixteenth winter, as Jamie would put it, a sudden rise in bear sightings throughout the evening within the Angeles National park occurred, quickly followed by a large number of animal lovers wishing to find these bears and take them to places where they could roam freely within fenced forests and a number of poachers haunting the woods in the evening in the hopes of catching and killing one of these bears. Needless to say both the pack and the humans were badly injured and after several weeks, around the time Jamie received his scar, the pack were beginning to commence in heated debates about whether to stay or leave. Many of the pack argued perpetually about how they should stay, Valyermo had always been their home and they werenā€™t going to abandon it just because a bunch of pathetic humans were trying to get them. In the end the pack agreed that it was time to move on for to stay was only going to grant them death, or worse. Unfortunately by the time this decision was made the hunters that stalked the forest had gotten smarter and started using bullets filled with cyanide on their prey and several of the pack had been injured with these foul concoctions, including Jamieā€™s father.

No matter how resilient they all died in the end and once the burials had been concluded the pack sold the nightclub and disappeared, turning up two weeks later in Lemont. Upon arrival the pack purchased a worn down warehouse near the outskirts of the town and over the course of a year managed to rebuild it, turning it from an abandoned horror story into a nightclub very reminiscent of their previous den which they granted the name Arkadesā€™ Domus, suggested by none other than Jamie. The nightclub let just about anyone in at the start and soon enough the pack had all had enough of the gothic alcoholic, and junkie clique that had decided to call it home so they went about building a were bar on the second floor before giving out jobs to a number of humans, using them as bouncers so the pack would not have to deal with the mongrels on the first floor. Itā€™s rare for anyone other than a were to get to the second floor, most of them not knowing to say they are a were themselves which the bouncer believes to be a password. The few non-weres that managed to get up past the bouncer by way of glamour or beauty usually return within minutes none the wiser as to what the beings in the bar are but swearing to god that they never want to return to the V.I.P area. Over the course of the ten years the pack have survived in Lemont they have never quite gotten to know any of the public, most staying within a short radius of the nightclub or else within the bar itself though some such as Jamie spend their days outside of the club in the public and their evenings mostly in the bar.

Other: Is somewhat of a linguist, knowing a number of different words from foreign languages although seemingly unable to speak any of them fluently.

Name & Nickname: Matthew Kyle or rather Matt, sometimes Matty.
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Race: Human

Appearance: 5ā€™8 and 180 lbs Matthew is a runt of a weasel of a man more reminiscent of a snake than an actual human. With eyes that are akin to emeralds constantly darting around looking for the next target and a sly smirk of pure malevolence and greed Matt has never looked trustworthy, though most people are smart enough to look at him once and then walk away rather than getting involved. Just by looking at Matt you can tell heā€™s never worked a day in his life, thin as a stick and with no muscle itā€™s clear heā€™s never even been in so much as a fair fight. Itā€™s obvious that Matt looks after his hair, making sure itā€™s well kept and dying it blue every month or so, of course he finds this girlish and is almost fanatical in how he says itā€™s naturally like that, even going so far as to get into fights over it. Not very fond of tattoos Matt is reluctant to let people even draw on his skin with a pen, but heā€™s a lover of piercings and has several along his lips that somehow seem to just promote the aura of shadiness that is ever present around him. Mattā€™s generally seen in jeans that arenā€™t too tight but arenā€™t too baggy and a dark t-shirt with some form of crazed picture on it, usually related to a band of some form, with white trainers to finish it all.

Personality: Matt is a slimy cockroach of a man, as sly as a snake and half as cunning he hasnā€™t got a caring bone in his body of course heā€™s not openly telling everyone this, at least not the women, and even then only until heā€™s slept with you. Normally Matt is an evil, lieing, uncaring and blackmailing monster but when around women he changes, putting on a mask where he attempts to be caring, kind, sensitive and sometimes funny. These traits didnā€™t just randomly crop up in him though, rather he got them from his father the professional asshole and conman whom he takes after. In honour of his father Matthew is what he prefers to call an incredibly professional hustler of pool, unfortunately for him everyone in town knows this and few are willing to play him anymore, although that may just be because if his hustle fails heā€™s likely to smash the pool cue over the back of your head and rob you. In school Matt was the bully, the one that called you freckle face, pulled your hair, smacked you with books and intimidated you for you money or whatever you had on your person and itā€™s from his experiences in school that he takes his life lessons. Mattā€™s intimidation skills are slowly beginning to falter as people grow older and are more willing to stand up to him, so heā€™s taken up the noble art of blackmail. Often heā€™ll take advantage or a crying girl or a broken man, befriending them, getting them to trust him and divulge their innermost secrets before using them to get what he wants, and most of the time it works as people are too afraid of these secrets getting out that they wonā€™t willingly go and get help.

His feelings towards people differ drastically from person to person, if he thinks youā€™re a fool he can get to buy some sort of drug or just rip off then heā€™ll probably detest you, but heā€™ll still be kind to you up until he has his money. If you happen to be just as detestable as Matt himself is heā€™s likely to love you and will try just about everything to form some sort of partnership wherein he gets the better cut. None of this really matters though for a woman, if he likes youā€™ll heā€™ll suck up to you, hold your hair when you throw up and try to get into your pants, if he doesnā€™t heā€™s probably going to laugh at you behind your back and attack you too your face, after all as he always says; the hotter she is the better. When it comes to vampires though his feelings are mixed, heā€™s no fang banger but heā€™s also no fellowship of sun worshipper. Still ever since they came out of the coffin heā€™s been fascinated by them, the blood running through their veins is pure gold and they can turn a human into a plaything and all of this with as many women as they could ever need catering to their every whim. As such Matt is sometimes seen sucking up to the vampires, trying to become their best friend so they can turn him, he canā€™t stop thinking about how his life could be, selling his blood for cash, turning other humans into puppets and being overwhelmed with crazy fang banger women, itā€™s like a dream come true.

History: Matthew Kyle was born to an extremely poor family, all they really had was a small house and barely enough items to fill it with, his mother wasnā€™t allowed to get a job as her husband had ruled it to be idiotic and his father was a conman who seemed to only just scrape together enough to keep the house up most nights. Several months after the birth Matthewā€™s parents decided to get a divorce, and after a number of fights over the money, house, and everything within the house it was finally finished a year later. His father managed to keep the house and most of the possessions required for raising a child because of the fact that Matthewā€™s mother had never wanted him and forced the custody upon her husband, not the smartest idea for raising a child. As his father was out most nights trying to initially con people into giving them his money Jamie was continuously stuck with a stream of babysitters, most staying roughly a month before they would get tired of the terrible pay and the aggravating child. As Matthew grew he began to notice his poverty more and more, everybody seemed to have exactly what they and especially he wanted, but he had nothing. This train of thought only lead to anger, jealousy and petty hatred and before long he was coming up with plans on how to intimidate people to get what he wanted, he wasnā€™t going to become just another pathetic thief.

All throughout school Matt was the big bad bully whom everyone hated but nobody seemed too willing to stand up to, and he used this to his advantage by taking anything that he wanted off of anyone that got in his way. This usually involved hitting, calling names, blackmail and intimidation, but mainly blackmail and hitting which would lead to intimidation and that would in turn lead to him getting exactly what he wanted, usually money or whatever else they had on their person. After the first time he was told on and caught his slimy nature adapted, becoming a class pupil in the eyes of the teacher whilst still managing to bully everyone else with no consequence. As his wealth of useless devices and items began to become too much even for him he decided to open up his own business, most of the time he would just sell the same crap heā€™d stolen back to the person heā€™d stolen it from, but sometimes heā€™d manage to sell it to someone else, but they never paid as much for it so he generally liked to hold out till he could get the highest amount for it. During high school the tricks of his trade, namely intimidation began to falter, so he moved on to blackmail, but that wasnā€™t exactly simple, as he could never get big bad secrets out of people so once more he moved on, this time to drugs. He became the junkie who sat around in the middle of the bushes where the teacherā€™s couldnā€™t see him selling weed, well mostly weed, sometimes heā€™d get a bit of ecstasy or meth but he always seemed to have an unending supply of weed that heā€™s usually managed to smoke through half of it by the time he was selling.

Once he was eighteen Matthew moved out and started a nice little business out of his small flat, including but not limited to; selling drugs, blackmailing people, intimidating people, hustling, and plain old fashioned robbery. Since the vampires came out of the coffin Matthew started selling V, he only gets a couple cases a month and itā€™s hard to find that many people willing to buy. Of course he doesnā€™t do V, he sticks with good old fashioned weed, heā€™s pretty sure that Vā€™s ten times better but itā€™s not death that scares him about V, itā€™s whatā€™ll happen to his dick if he overdoses, heā€™s heard about it and itā€™s much worse than simply not nice. He has big plans though, much bigger than simply selling drugs and stealing cash, he figures a couple more years of selling V and heā€™ll be able to afford a nice house after which he can probably start his own business, maybe even find a way to pay off vampires for their blood and sell it for a profit, then get a wife and settle down leading the good life of riches and wealth.

Name & Nickname: Born Elizabeth Anne Howard, she's more commonly called Lizzybeth.
Gender: Female
Age: At the age of twenty four Elizabeth was turned into a vampire, and she's been one for about ten years or more, she's lost count.
Race: Vampire

Appearance: Elizabeth stands at five feet and three inches. Her torso is slightly larger than average, which she uses to her advantage. Her hair used to be dark brown but faded to blonde as she grew older, but no one understands how that happened. She's hoping it'll become a silvery color in the next few years. Her complexion is pale with freckles covering her nose and cheeks. Her eyes are a dark olive-green color, always scanning and having a long, calculating look. When a human pisses her off her mouth stays closed because her fangs elongate and her thirst for blood rises, but she fights it the best she can.

Personality: Elizabeth has been described as a psychopathic bitch by people she's had relationships with, sexual or casual. Men look at her and they cock their eye brows and glue their eyes to her chest and ass, the two favorite body parts she willingly flaunts around for all to look at. It all starts in a simple routine, really. Friday, Saturday and Sunday are lazy days for Lizzybeth. So she tries to find dates, which is extremely easy. She'll lure them to the apartment, offering wine or some drink to cause sexual stimulation. Then they go to the bedroom, and never return in minor cases. She's obtained several nicknames from her vampire friends about this bad habit and want for sex and love.

Lizzybeth is otherwise childish in front of friends and people she adores. Her childish behavior comes from always being a child. She never had to be mature in her life and she loves it, she loves being carefree and reckless. Which is probably what got her turned into a vampire, the fact she'd walk alone at night and never have protection of any sorts. But all her usual personality traits were passed down when she turned into a new species. She would brag about being a vampire if she really could. She loves it and hates it, the ability to just watch life drain from someone, but then feeling guilty after hand. Yes, Lizzybeth's guilt will always get the best of her.

She makes decisions in haste and doesn't look at the true facts. She hates being pressured into answering people and making a choice. Hastiness is something she's lived off for awhile. All her choices are made in the snap of a finger, and people hate that yet like it. It's good for someone looking for a fast answer, but if she answers and she doesn't like it, she's pretty much screwed. She's tried to slow down her thinking process a little bit but hasn't and is hoping to soon.

History: Elizabeth Howard was born a cold morning twenty four years ago, in December to be exact. Her two parents were wealthy people, her father a famous heart surgeon and her mom a notable fashion designer. She lived a spoiled life, indoors and home schooled. Although, it disappointed her because she didn't have many friends. Elizabeth isn't really smart educationally and she's told that often. Her grades in home schooling were making the bear minimum. She knew she wouldn't have much of a future ahead of her, which is what she was expecting. Her nanny, Marianna, was all that kept Elizabeth alive and happy during middle school. The two bonded frequently, Marianna acting like a mother figure for poor Lizzybeth. Although Elizabeth still acted respectful towards her parents, it was when she was thrown into public high school she truly began to hate the two people who had given her life.

She finished high school in haste, desperate to get away from the torture. She started college but dropped out, not energetic enough to be around people she may or may not like. Not only that, what did she want from life? Not an education, that's for sure. So, she moved out of her parents place and got a cheap apartment and kept loose contact with them. Her life was going well for the most part. Parties with friends, meeting guys, and the sex was incredible and nothing could go wrong.

On her twenty fourth birthday things started to add up to Elizabeth. She felt old and like no one wanted her. Like she wasn't good for anything. Her friends had began leaving her to get education and love, getting married and starting families whereas she still had nothing in comparison. No job to support herself, no nothing. In a depression, she went out drinking and got a little bit too drunk. That's when she met Matthew. She got so drunk and so crazy she didn't notice Matthew and he bit her, changing her life forever.

Although she never wanted to be a vampire, she appreciates Matthew for not deserting her to figure out this new life for herself. He was nice, giving her a home and everything. She couldn't be thankful enough for that, even though she sometimes hates being a vampire, she couldn't have asked for someone better than Matthew.

Other: Nothing.

Race: Human

Appearance: Alexandre stands at six feet and three inches, pretty tall. He enjoys the height, but he's packing on some stomach fat. He's in shape but his body isn't beautiful. He looks in the mirror and wonders how people can think him attractive in the slightest. He sees brown hair, cut a little too short. His eyes are a caramel colored, almost topaz. His eyes are his favorite feature, there's no doubt. Although he loves his bright eyes, they'll hide behind glasses when he needs to read. Otherwise, he doesn't need them. He wears them when he writes, but that isn't often. He has a bit of a beard growing, brown hairs.

Personality: Alexandre is sweet, charming, but strictly business. He'll woo anyone he comes into contact and sweep them off their feet, but he refuses to have relationships. Like I said, he's strictly business. If he gets a relationship, he wants something out of it. He hates women who nag him, except they always seem to be attracted to him and he hates it.

He's generally a calm, thoughtful person. He doesn't like being disturbed while he's in the middle of something and hates multi-tasking, even though he does it a lot. His thinking process isn't rapid, but it isn't slow either. He's kind of like Spencer Reid. He can analyze a problem and find a solution by looking at all the facts, looking through history for similar cases. He thinks this is a handy skill, passed down from his dad who worked in the crime lab.

History: Andre was born into a family that investigated crimes. His mother was a forensic pathologist and his father a member of the Behavior Analysis Unit. He was well educated in those fields and he was fascinated by the behavior of people and human anatomy. He made his goal in life to reach high and get good grades and marks. He was much loved by his teachers, but better off a loner in his own eyes. He wanted a future, not a social life. Besides, he didn't know how to keep those balanced.

School was a breeze and he went through quickly. He got a job that was the same as his fathers, loved by his associates. He loved writing as well and made dozens of journals about his experience in his working fields. One even got published, but never made it big. He had hoped for publicity, and he finally got it when he started dating fashion model, Karen Amanda Denning. Then he was on the rise, climbing to the top of the social ladder. What he didn't realize was that this was going to cost him his job.

After two years of dating they were going to get married. Andre was so happy, but she wasn't. They ended up ending their relationship mutually, although it all became a mess in the end anyway. Due to this mess, his team didn't want to work with him, and so he was fired. Left with basically nothing, Andre moved into an apartment and began helping Matthew with his restaurant during the day. He hopes to find work again soon, but highly doubts anyone wants to be near him. He's become strictly business and refuses to develop a relationship with anyone.

Other: Anything else you want to add.

Angie, is it fine if I make one of my characters your Vampire's Maker?

Also, gang, add this to the Glossary knowledge

The Bleeds: When a vampire stays up during the day, inside of course, he or she begins bleeding from their nose and ears. The bleeds could also be referred to when a Vampire cries, literally, bloody tears.

Name & Nickname: Matthew Frank Spinner, call him Matt and he'll break your face.
Gender: Male
Age: 337 - 29
Race: Vampire

Appearance: Standing at a towering 6'3, Matthew holds a confident but domineering atmosphere. Though he's been known to be pleasant and approachable ever since the enlightenment two years ago, the man still has that loner streak, which is reflected through his behavior. He's got black hair and dark hazel eyes, and skin that once used to be Sicilian olive, now a pale, sunless hue. He's always been handsome, but in his youth, he was named as one of the more handsome gentleman of Sicily. However, looks hadn't gotten him a loyal woman. As years went by, his clothing changed. Now, he's found himself highly appreciative of youthful brands, such as Armani Exchange.

Personality: Matthew is a difficult man to fully understand, there are times when he may be pleased with the night, and there are times when he sulks in his room and hardly leaves through the doors. But over all, he is a good guardian, especially over his childe, Lizzybeth, and an exquisite business owner. With the outgoing nature that clashes with his sudden depression, Matthew had opened up a restaurant in the small town of Lemont, it quickly grew to be a perfect dinner place with a well stocked bar. Though, so often, does the little restaurant get it's windows broken and graffiti painted on it with words like "Die Fangers" or "Burn in hell", it sure plays with self-esteem, but with Matthew a bullheaded man, he hardly lets that affect him, simply reports to police, puts in new windows and paints over the graffiti. That should tell alot about his personality and wish to mainstream.

History: Born on a heated July night in 1673, Matthew Spinner had an entirely different name. His wealthy family lived in Sicily, when things were blooming for adventurers and merchants. Although Matthew's family was "old money", they continued to grow their business along the coast of the Mediterranean. Whatever difficulties people had around this family, didn't affect them. Matthew remembers those twenty-nine years of his life like it was yesterday, the unlife had failed to brush it away with it's bitter and cold memories. The only thing Matthew does not remember was his name or his family name. He's gone under so many aliases that the man cannot distinguish which one was the real one. So Matthew Frank Spinner has been his name for the last century.

Let's go back to when he was created as such. 1702, a year of prosperity for others, while his family struggled to tame their out of control business. Workers were stealing goods, lame sailors had managed to sink about two dozen of their ships. Matthew's older sister committed suicide, leaving her six children to the rest of her siblings. Matthew was about to go down the same road. Balls and proud faces were not his interest, and yet he still continued to dress and attend the balls in a shameful face of failure. He drank a lot, slept with dirty harlots almost every night, and it wasn't until he'd caught an unidentified illness that the face of death appeared before his eyes.

It was during his trek back to his rundown and nearly empty mansion, his wobbling steps echoing in the gravel roads as if someone was running, but instead taking small and messy steps. A woman of golden curls and bright green eyes had approached him and offered him to come with her. Drunk, and disoriented, Matthew stumbled after her, until he was knocked down by her mind blowing strength and fed upon. He remembers that moment when he was on the brink of death that she had fed her bleeding wrist to him, an elixir of energy rushed through him but knocked him unconscious as well.

The next morning, or should I say, night, Matthew awoke inside ground, dug himself up and wandered through the night in search of the woman. Needless to say, that was when his story began. He never saw the woman again, he never saw his family again, and the years seemed to have been going at a less than normal speed. Matthew had learned on his own how to be the undead, and he had met others like him, though he hardly ever participated in their wild cravings for life. He did once, that threw him out of control, and it was ten years ago he'd made a mistake in almost killing someone, thankfully, he brought the girl over, and she's been under his wing ever since, he's had to teach her what he had learned over time.

Now that the vampires had "come out of their coffins", Matthew is ecstatic to mainstream with society, though he is still discriminated against by the ritualistic followers of the Fellowship of the sun, he won't hide with his tail between his legs, but join the humans as much as he can in the work and social society.

Other:
    Matthew owns a little restaurant in Lemont titled "Spinner's Diner", and has a human to manage it during the days. Ironically, it's open 24/7.
    He is Elizabeth Anne Howard's maker, she lives with him in his house in Lemont, recently having moved there and bought a building for the restaurant.

Name & Nickname: Lusindie Opera Kaplov, Cindy
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Race: Shifter

Appearance: This girl, like her mother, has a unique, almost extra-terrestrial appearance, with glowing white hair, a fully freckled face, bright blue eyes, and extremely long lashes, not to mention the plump pink lips that she colors a bright, tacky hue. Standing at a tiny 4'10, Cindy is often mistaken for a teenage girl rather than a grown woman. She may behave in a slightly energetic and restless manner, but she's far from a child. For one, she's got womanly curves and D cup breasts, with a round bottom and long legs. She's got tiny hands and feet, but that's something that comes along with being so short. Her hair billows out into a large cloud around her head, reaching down to mid-back, most often, though, she keeps it clipped up in a messy manner with the sides of her head unclipped, while the back up and at the top of the back of her head, if that makes sense.

Personality: If I were to compare which one of the Kaplov girls had the brighter personality, it would surely be Cindy. She always seems to smile, be it with her eyes or more obviously with her lips. There's a certain sunshine that surrounds her, and is hardly ever mobile enough to leave her. There's optimism and positivity that often becomes obnoxious, especially to her more sarcastic and cynical older sister. Which one is smarter? Rannie wins by a mile, but Cindy lacks the need to be better, she allows her sister to do her thing, while Cindy does her own.

History: Cindy was born into an extremely poor family, that had their own means of getting food on the table. Because Mama Kaplov was a shifter and Daddy Kaplov was human, they thought they could never have children, so they adopted a cute little two year old and changed her name to Floranne Dupage. It was just two years later that Mama Kaplov gave birth to little Cindy, with the wonder and question if that child will be a shifter as well. Their true identities a real secret. Daddy Kaplov worked as a mechanic, but his jobs were dwindling to none, and Mama Kaplov stole. She'd shift into something that could hold items or unlock doors, and sneak into offices and and corporations, maybe even a restaurant back room to steal from the safe or steal the safe itself. At times, Mama Kaplov would shift into a pit bull and Daddy Kaplov would bet on her in illegal bull fighting. It would explain the large scars on Mama Kaplov's limbs and neck.

That was the kind of family that both Cindy and Rannie were brought into. As Cindy grew, she knew what a shifter was, but it wasn't until she turned nine did she experience that herself, shifting into their neighbors scrawny pet cat. Along with that discovery, Mama Kaplov sent Cindy over to their neighbors to take something expensive, a shiny jewelry or maybe if she found money. At nine, Cindy was the doer and Rannie, at thirteen was the watcher.

Other:
    Cindy has an issue with angry people, a very big issue.
    There's a big caution about the new knowledge of Vampires that her and her sister share.
    Cindy's middle name derives from her mother's favorite performing arts.

Name & Nickname: Floranne Dupage Kaplov, Rannie
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Race: Human

Appearance: Rannie is a complete opposite of her younger sister, with darker hair and darker eyes, she's got more of a Cajun look than her family. Another thing to set her apart from the Kaplov blood would be her tall stature of about 5'10, and a thin, almost boy-ish figure of small breasts and nearly no ass. But Rannie makes up for it in her way of carrying herself, swaying herself in a swagger that turn heads. Unlike Cindy, Rannie rarely wears any sort of make-up except for a dash of mascara, she feels it unnecessary to don herself in unnatural colors.

Personality: Cynicism is Rannie's middle name, quite obviously. Although both girls were raised the same, Rannie was always the one more calm and collected than Cindy. Imagine this, there stands one girl, relaxed, with a crooked smile and a cigarette tucked between her fingers, and she stands in that sort of 'cool' way of cocking her hip, while a small bouncing flash of blond makes circles around her in obnoxious questions, comments and giggles. But the two fit together, one tall, one short, one calm, and one energetic. It all works.

History: Rannie was born into a struggling family as well, just as Rannie turned one years old, her mother passed away and her father, being crippled, could not take care of little Rannie. Instead, Rannie was sent to an orphanage, there she spent one year before the Kaplov family adopted the little girl. She was even more excited to have a baby sister that was born two years later. Rannie, too, knew what her mother was, but she wasn't putting the two and two together that little Cindy would grow up to be the same. When Cindy did show that she was, indeed, a shifter as well, Rannie had a period of jealousy where she would pick on Cindy as much as possible, and would end them both into a hair-ripping fight. Eventually, though, Rannie grew out of the need to be the same, and instead of making a tighter relationship with her father of the same race, Rannie grew tighter with Cindy.

Now, even in their twenties, the girls are a tag team of thieves. It has gotten their family through rough times, now they're able to at least put a feast on the table and buy new furniture. Overall, Cindy and Rannie are a success, street-smart, because they've been home-schooled all their life, which wasn't a big amount. But the two do have an inner need to drop this thievery and do something worthwhile, it's just as soon as one of them opens their mouths to protest against the stealing, they both get an earful of "how can you think of doing this to us?!" and a whole lot of guilt.

Other:
    Rannie used to be married once, the divorce was painful for her, emotionally and financially.
    Her middle named derives from the county that she was adopted in.
