Nickname: Jamie "But I only allow few to call me that."
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Species: Human

Tattoos: He has "02" tattooed on his left arm. He doesn't recall what it means but it doesn't bother him so much.
Personality: James is very protect of what is left of the human race. He is very serious when it comes to just about anything. The only time he is loss and free willed is when he is playing his music or singing. Mary-Lunette managed to get him into her band because of it. His great great grandfather was Jo Vincent Russell, the man who built the underground tunnels. He is the last of the Russell line. James also has an Scottish/Irish accent dew to his family mainly being Irish or Scottish. He is shy, caring towards humans and animals but has a hard time trusting anyone so he has few friends.
Fear: Dying at the hands of "Mythical Beings" and losing those he trust and love.
History: He was sixteen and it had been a month since he brought Gumi (Mary-Lunette) to the Underground City. Other humans had joined them over time but still he had never seen his oldest friend look so sad in her life. Normally she would have been bouncing around, but there was still no sign of her family so she wasn't really there but in the world of depression. He had just finished rebuilding a CD player and was testing an old disk on it when she bounced in, literally. "Jamie, some of the others said you were....IS THAT A CD PLAYER!?" She had grabbed his arm and shook him roughly. James had just stared at her in shook and watched as she played with his rebuilt CD player. Next he knew music was coming from it and Mary-Lunette was dancing. "Jamie! Start a band with me! I know you can sing and you learn to play instruments fast! We'll call ourselves Deadly Nightshade! We could get things needed from above and bring it down here! We'll distract them and get others to get the stuff! They won't know it's us, we'll say we're something else like a Witch, Warlock, anything!! Please, Jamie. This could help us and get us what we need.." She had been looking at me with utter excitement and joy. I couldn't turn her down even if I tried. "Fine but we're going to need more people, Gumi." She had jumped up and down and spun my around in a circle. Her smiles caused him to smile. James was glad she was back to her old self and knew, they would have a hell of a time ahead of them.
-For Humans, otherwise delete this-
What is their special talent? He is able to make anything out of anything, it can be junk and he would turn it into something useful. Once he starts building and changing on object to another he doesn't stop until it is completely done.
Animal Familiar: Snow Leopard named Beck.

Mary-Lunette was walking through the streets of Clear Ice City. She was careful and made sure to stay out of sight, which was easier then it had been when she started coming up here. She felt unsafe without the dirt walls around her and the wooden posts holding everything up that was the Underground City.

She jumped when she felt a hand squeeze her shoulder and looked over to see James. That idiot! He must of followed her. He smiled at her before raising an eyebrow. "Gumi, are you putting up posters of the band without me?"

Mary-Lunette had to cover her mouth to stop from laughing. She had earned the nickname when she was four and only had five teeth, after that the family doctor had said that she would be a very 'Late Bloomer' for everything in her life, and so far he was right. Her teeth weren't the only thing to come in late. "Only that we're playing at that club.. Uh, I think it was Dark Blood All 'Round Club... No, I'm pretty sure it was that. Also we need to get some other species in the band, if it's only humans we'll get caught. Maybe a witch or pixie or fairy or something. None of them should know by smell that we're humans, only that we smell different because it's been ages since humans lived above ground." She wasn't sure of that fact, but she hoped she was right 'cause this was a risky move.

She saw James's jaw tighten but he nodded, understanding how important it was to keep what they were a secret and that meant blending in. They walked around, sticking up posters that said where they were playing, that they needed more band members, and with an email they had set up for Deadly Nightshade. Mary-Lunette was glad Jamie followed her, she felt a little safer with him around.

Lucas was more than a little bit tipsy, this post-apocalyptic city didn't have a need for a drinking age as most monsters couldn't get drunk, but his human body was certainly feeling the effects of the shots he had tried to drink against a sexy vampire. With her good looks and charm it was easy to talk him into just about anything. Stupidly he had forgotten how lovely a vampire's regenerative powers were and was left drunk as a skunk while the beautiful vampire gave him a quick kiss and waved him out the door of the bar to wander the streets. It was kind of her to give him a kiss and get him away from the irresponsible auras of the bar's patrons, he was already feeling better as the vampire's abilities took effect and began processing the alcohol in his blood, but his thirst was growing and he had just been kicked out of the bar.

Disappointed he continued wandering in his drunken state when a poster caught his eye.

"Deadly Nightshade" he said out loud, "what a stupid name for a band." he commented to no one in particular and looked down the street to what appeared to be a blond haired guy and a green haired chick holding poster posting materials. His keen vision caught the poster's message and he realized those two were the ones who put up the signs which meant maybe they had something to do with the revolting name, he didn't know why he hated the name of the band this much but in his state of mind he didn't care.

"Hey, are you the one's hanging up these posters?" he called after the two. "Your band's name sucks!" He yelled obnoxiously.

James spun around and stared at the stranger behind them with fire in his eyes. He looked drunk but it was impossible, only a few species above ground could get drunk and still it was hard for them to. He had learnt that when he watched a drunk werewolf stubble and fall on his ass close to the underground entrance; boy everyone underground was running around in a panic that day.

He felt a small hand on his and looked over to Mary-Lunette. "We should hurry up and get these put up, Gumi.." He saw tears in her eyes but she kept on a brave smile, trying to lighten the mode. "Don't listen to him about the name, the band fits it fine, Gumi. Besides he's drunk." Mary-Lunette nodded before going back to putting up the band's poster. James just stared at the man that had said their band name sucked. He was wary and made sure to keep a careful eye on the other guy while helping Gumi.

"You know you shouldn't insult others like that!" Lucas squawks in return with a perfect imitation of the dark man's voice. The Dangerous calm of the dark figure fell over him and his grimace disappeared, while remaining calm the dangerous side of him was itching to get out and he had recovered enough of his senses to not let Luke out. Instead he ripped the poster off the wall and continued approaching the dark figure.

"Come on, Deadly Nightshade it's such a cliche name. You have to agree with me." He held the poster in the face of the dark figure, Lucas' fangs were now clearly visible from his vampire encounter. He was still too drunk to judge danger, his aura was swirling around bits of the dark man's aura and discovered that much of his aura was well hidden by impressive strength. Yet he remained right in the face of this dangerous character, waving the poster like an idiot.

Mary-Lunette

She'd dropped all the posters of her band and covered her mouth to stop a sob from escaping, sadly she was unable to hide the fact that her shoulders were shaking and she was fighting against tears. She was meant to keep up the impression that she was a witch/faerie so no one would know she's human, but with the creatures before her fighting and Deadly Nightshade basically being insulted, she couldn't help it.

All she wanted at that moment was to be at home, with dirt walls and roof around her, an old funky smelling mattress under her, and the smell of earth around her.

James

He clenched his jaw and curled his hands into fist. James so badly wanted to hit the guy for making Gumi cry. She was the only light and fun most of the humans had down in the Underground City, seeing her being hurt, no matter how small the matter is, infuriated him.

Drawing his attention to the posters his friend had dropped, he picked them all up, rolled them up, placed them under his arm, and brought Mary-Lunette close to him. His eyes locked on the two creatures that were standing a little way away from them, if anything started to happen he was going to get the hell out of here and get back home, dragging Gumi with him if he had to.

James stroked her hair as she shook against him and let out a silent sob. He couldn't help but smile slightly; she was crying over something so small but it meant the world to her. She was Deadly Nightshade, as was he and the other members that have been and the soon to be members. All the songs they sung were apart of them, each beat, which word, everything.

Mary-Lunette

She tried hard to stop crying but the tears wouldn't stop. Slowly she was sinking back into the misery she had fought hard to stay out of for two years. Mary-Lunette's joyful and bouncy side dreaded going back into the dark misery she had been trapped in.

She stood there, shaking hard in Jamie's arms, unable to do anything but cry.

James

His eyes narrowed and he glared at the guy that had just insulted Gumi. "Deadly Nightshade is a band that has a piece of each member in it. Their souls, hearts, wants or needs. We put it into our songs and everything that we do. Insulting the band is insulting us. So watch your mouth."

James continued to stroke Gumi's green hair, but it didn't seem to be working like it normally would and calm her. Every word that left this being's mouth was probably sending her into misery again, which just infuriated James more, and he was sure you could feel the anger crackle around him.

Mary-Lunette

When she heard a body impact with the wall she shrink and huddle closer to Jamie. She never seen these beings fight each other, but just the thought of something small happening scared the crap out of her. All Mary-Lunette had come above ground for was to stick the posters up. She knew of a few beings that enjoyed the music that Deadly Nightshade played. Knowing a fight was about to break out, she wanted to stop it and spoke up weakly, turning her head to see the beings before her and wishing she hadn't as fear ran through her from the sight of them. "Don't fight...Please...Don't fight..."

James

He was shocked when Gumi spoke up and asked them not to fight. The creatures before them probably wouldn't or didn't hear her but still she was trying. He looked down at her and shook his head, telling her to leave it be. Sadly, he knew she wouldn't. He let out a long sigh and rolled his shoulders slightly. He wanted out of here, but if he left with Gumi there was a slight chance that one of the beings would follow and Gumi and him would lead him straight back to the underground city.

Slowly as he watched the two guys he covered Mary-Lunette's eyes, making it impossible for her to see. She didn't react and knew to leave his hand there.


(*smiles* I saw in your character sheet, human/primal spirit. Nice mix ^_^)

Mary-Lunette

She swallowed as John introduced himself. She thought for a minute and felt James hand squeeze hers. She understood that he didn't want her real name out so she gave John her nickname instead. "I-I'm Gumi..." Her voice was a soft whisper and her attention was on the being John had thrown, she was scared he might do something like that to her, after all, they were ment to kill humans that weren't cross breeds now just like always. She hoped he was okay and slowly pointed a finger to Jamie. "T-that's James..." Her words came out shaking as she tried hard not to cry again.

James

He spun Gumi around and pushed her forward, nodding to the shadows. James watched as her small form scrambled into the shadows and brought her knees to her chest while covering her face with her knees. He had taught her well and made sure to stand near the shadows, keeping a careful eye on John and the other being. He didn't want to stay here but something kept him in place.

Gumi

Gumi was thinking as she huddled into a ball. She couldn't believe that all this had happened all because she was hanging poster of the band and had stumbled across a drunk supernatural being. Her body was shaking from the slight cold and in a little fear. Yes, John had said not to fear him, and for a minute she thought he knew she wasn't a witch or faerie but a human, but she knew it wasn't possible at that moment, hopefully..

"I want to go home, James...." Her voice came out a soft mumble and she peeked at the beings fighting. "This is scary...."

The glossy cave walls sparkled with the water's reflection while crystals created a magnificent glow which filled the underground with light. Myra had loved this hideout ever since she was able to explore without supervision. Propping herself on a rock surface, Myra watched her scales glitter with the crystals and wondered how the earth above was doing today. With the constant banging along the cave walls, Myra figured the day was going to be an exciting one.

Splashing into the cooling water, she swam through numerous underwater caves, enjoying the difference between her world and the human's. The human's world was dark and cold, with dirt or ice covering every surface. Myra loved learning about humans and thier strange patterns, but the earth was something she didn't like the feel of. Even her legs, when she acquired them, were freezing in the human's world.

Myra stopped suddenly as she saw murky figures skim the earth's surface. Intrigued, she peeked her head out of the water, and watched a battle unfold.

James

Hearing John know that they weren't supernatural beings set him on edge. He grabbed Gumi's hand and pulled her to her feet. "I have no idea what your talking about, John." James stared into John's eyes, his jaw tight and his hands in fist. "There are no humans. There all dead. There is nothing that could keep them alive." He hated having to lie but knew if he didn't John was probably going to kill them, after all it was one of the laws now; Any human found was to be killed on sight.

Gumi

She grabbed Jamie's hand and uncurled it, running her fingers over his hand. Mary-Lunette didn't want any fighting, and both James and her knew ways to get away from the beings that now inhabited the earth thanks to all the alley's and underground tunnels that connected to the main entrance of the Underground City.

"We should put up the rest of these posters....Would you care to join us, John?" She smiled as brightly as she could, trying to make the best out of this situation. However deep down, she was having a bloody war; Her joy and bouncy self versus her misery. Now Mary-Lunette was glad that she was good at hiding most of her feelings.

Suddenly she remembered the other being and went into a panic. She figured an excuse out fast and pulled James down so she could whisper into his ear without John hearing. "James, I'll meet you back home...Hang all the posters up and be nice!"

She skipped backward, smiling warmly at both of the males before her. "I'm greatly sorry...but I just remembered something important...John if you don't have anything better to do you can help keep James company while I go... It was nice to meet you!!"

She turned around and bolted to where a loud banging sound had come from and hoped that it was the other being. When she got there she tried hard not to throw up or scream. Mary-Lunette knelt down by the being and gently shook him, getting no reaction. Sighing she gently looked over the beings wounds and winced, they didn't look to good. "I didn't get your name...so you better not be dead...."

Myra eyed the specimens, wondering how they found it so easy to walk with those sticks attatched to them. Ducking behind a rock, she watched as they scuttled around doing whatever duties they had. She wished she could join them but her glittering tail kept that fantasy at bay. She would have to wait until later to explore more.

For the time being though, she was going to have some fun. Twirling her finger toward a puddle of water on land, Myra silently flicked water onto the human. It hit him in the back, which made her giggle as she silently hid along the shoreline.

James

His set to work, not impressed that Gumi had left. Knowing her she would do something stupid and help the other being who had insulted their band name. He was getting suspicious of John, not knowing what was up with him or if he was using James to re-find the Underground City. With the amount of cave ins they got, because of the rotting wood posts that held the ceiling up, they had to change the main entrance many times. They were still trying to clear the last one from last week that had cut of the "Kitchen" and "Dinning Room" from the rest of the tunnels and chambers. So most people haven't eaten in a week, which is why Gumi had been hang posters, which had in turn gotten them both into this mess.

James was starting to hang a poster when something cold and wet hit him in the back. He spun around and narrowed his eyes, not knowing where it came from. He was getting angry and frustrated.

'The sooner I hang these posters the bloody better!' Thought James bitterly, which even shocked him. Never had he been this bitter.

Myra giggled some more and the human became angered. She didn't really care about making him mad, she just wanted to see his expressions. Did all humans flail their arms around in anger? Did they all have something to storm off to? Were they just angry in general? Myra wanted to find these things out for herself, not through her superiors.

Going for another time, she brought up a bit more water and had it land at the boys' feet. It didn't quite hit him, but she propped herself for making it so close.

Myra was about to form another attack when she heard the footsteps. Peeking from behind a rock, she innocently watched the human with wide eyes. He was obviously as curious as her, but this was testing her courage. What would happen if she revealed herself to him? Sure, humans knew merpeople were out there, but merpeople weren't suppose to be found. Especially since they kind of took over once the flood formed.

Taking a shaky breath, Myra ducked under water and swam out just far enough for the human to see her head. With the water being so dark, she was sure he wouldn't be able to see the rest of her. Adjusting her seaweed encrusted top, she broke the surface and stared up to the him with fearful eyes.

James

He scrambled backward and fell, landing on his back with a small thud. He was utterly shock and surprise when he saw someone brake the surface and as he sat up he saw it was a female, around two years older then him, looking at him with fear. "I-I..um...Sorry..."

James looked down at himself, wondering what to do. He wasn't very smart when it came to talking with girls, unless it was Gumi because they had been friends for years, way before the war and all the other stuff.

Myra glanced up to the boy's face. She suddently became very interested in him. What was his name? Where did he come from? So many wonders traveled through her mind. She had to try and slow them down. Focusing on one question, she suddenly became more bubbly and smiled brightly. "What's your name?"

Myra propped up on her elbows, keeping her tail underneath her. At the moment, she couldn't care about the boy seeing her tail. She just wanted to learn more about him, never having seen one so close. She reached out to run her fingers over his shoes. Or were they called sneakers? She never could get the vocabulary correct...

Gumi

She was still worried for Lucas and was sure he was as okay as he said. But then she remembered he was a supernatural being so he probably was okay, if not then to much of an idiot to say something. "Are you sure your fine? Oh, I'm Gumi..." She had forgotten to tell him before her name and now felt rude for not mentioning it.

"You make it seem like you weren't just beaten to a pulp...?" Gumi was curious as to why he was suddenly okay, it was a little odd to her.

James

James frowned and his head went to one side as he looked over the lady before him like he would when he had an idea to build something out of nothing, like he looked at everything he knew. "James... What's your's?" He sat up a little, keeping his legs out in front of him in order not to scare her. He wondered what type of species she was from and he looked over her slowly.

He couldn't make his mind up and curiously asked, "What species are you?"

Original Sin

Ivy

She stared in slight horror as the being walked in. He could see her through the wall and she him. Ivy didn't know what to say or do and there was no way in hell she was going to stand there in shock.

Keeping herself was busy since she was a witch and she started making different potions up to make her trip into the labyrinth a little easier on her.

Myra smiled bashfully. She wanted to know a lot about the human. Tugging on his pant leg, she wondered why they wore such heavy clothing. She looked up to answer his question first. "You can call me Myra." She liked his name more. James. It rolled off her tongue like butter. All she had to pronounce was the J and the S and she would be fine. It wasn't like the name Myra. One wrong syllable could throw the whole thing off.

She began to slouch away at the question about her species. She didn't really know how to answer it. "What do you think I am?"

Gumi

She stared at Lucas's cat ears and felt the need to touch them, however she left her hands at her sides her fingers twitching slightly. "He wasn't my friend, I just met John after he through you away. You had me worried for a minute there and I was scared before that, I don't like people fighting. Lucas, you make it sound like you get beaten up a lot, what do you do wrong?"

James

He tested his name on his tongue and was happy how it sounded. It came out just liked she had pronounced it. James frowned as he tried to come up with an answer to what species she was. "I honestly don't know. You're much more beautiful then any other species I know... Can you give me a clue to what you are?" He smiled slightly and studied Myra
