Introduction
Hitmen, hired guns, mercenaries. People with unfortunate lives have to turn to killing and murder for money. Poor lost souls with no hope, no redemption. But how can you pity these downtrodden spirits when you're at the end of their weapon?
In the capital city, Ortsa, of the country, Phantasm, a band of these very people live, making money off revenge and petty arguments. close knit and near family like, these fiends control most of the streets, unknowingly. Threats of the highest danger often contain their name. They are the Erlking's Caste.
Unknown to the outsiders, the Caste is your average "family", with all its disfunctions and perks. Though, lately, someone has been trying to oust the Erlking, much to the Caste's distaste. With a sudden air, the Erlking decides it's time to act more normal and integrate into the normal society. With jobs still flowing in, how will our motley crew of killers handle school, work and love?
CAST: Accepting.
-
The Leader (20-24): Also known as the Erlking, outside of the caste itself, however, inside he is affectionately called Loki. Ruthless, he allows his Hunters to do as they please with captured targets. He does have a soft side however, when it comes to his caste, all of whom he recruited for one reason or another. He is interested in his newest find, Nidhogg.-OPEN-
The Adviser (17-19): Called the Erlking's Son/Daughter by outsiders and Hel by family., this is the Erlking's main source of advice. He/She is often seen trailing the Erlking. They're seen as the lily or gem in the pool of blood, being extremely beautiful/handsome. They feel as someone is watching and protecting them, but can't pinpoint the person.-TAKEN-
The Messenger (16-18): Nicknamed Ratatoskr or Rat both inside and out, this person is always running around. Quick-witted and sharp tongue, they make up for their lack of actual fighting experience or prowess with their knowledge of everything else. The intel and scout, no one is as fast of smart as them. They hang around Jormungandr a lot and enjoy the stoic company.-TAKEN-
Fenrir's Hunter (17-20): Always followed by a pack of various dogs, this hunter is no pushover. The most headstrong of the three hunters, Fenrir is no one to taunt. If they make a threat, they will follow through, orders or not. This often leads them into sketchy situations, but this Hunter knows how to kill, even without the dogs. They seem to enjoy "hunting" and looking for the Overthrower.-TAKEN-
Jormungandr's Hunter (18-22): Skilled in the use of poison, this hunter is the opposite of Fenrir. The more reserved of the three, this hunter enjoys the chase more than the kill. They draw out kills, making their target feel as much pain as they like. They do have a soft spot for Ratatoskr, however and easily carves out time for them.-TAKEN-
Nidhogg's Hunter (19-23): The newcomer of the Caste. This Hunter was taken in to be Hel's guard, to listen to her/his commands as the others do with Loki. This hunter, however green-horned, is skilled in aerial kills. This Hunter cares for Hel like a sister/brother but can't help be be entranced by Loki himself.-RESERVED-
The Overthrower (16-20): This person wants to be the Erlking themselves. For whatever reason, they feel that they should be in power over the current Erlking. They're cunning and sly, and know how to lie themselves out of a bad spot. But they can't seen to lie around Fenrir at all.-TAKEN-
The Seer (18-20): A semi-neutral party in all of madness, they advise the Overthrower in his/her actions, but also doesn't help him/her too much, for what ever reason. They have the rare talent of far-seeing, or looking into the future, on command but doing so drains them, making them very sick and weakly. The Seer strangely wishes for the safety of Hel, much to their confusion.-TAKEN-
RULES:
1) Have fun, this is what this is all about!
2) Don't godmode/take over someone's character without permission. It's not fair to them or the storyline.
3) No overly perfect characters that hit every time and can dodge everything. No one likes that.
4) As far as questions, PM me or hit up the OOC. I'll check both often-ish.
5) Warn us if you're gonna be busy or gone. Please, that way we can move without you and seamlessly add you back in.
6) Gore, romance up PG-13 and cussing is allowed! The first and last in moderation but that's neither here nor there. Don't wanna get sacked or anything

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 1 authors
From his private, three story home near the outskirts of Ortsa, Zerath looked out towards downtown. It was early morning. There was a pending task that came in earlier this week, a request to kill a stubborn, lower level politician. He was the Department Head of Human Resources, and he was debating whether to push forward the idea or not. The reward was 15,000 Credits, however, and there was nothing wrong with making more money, except for the fact there's been assassination attempts on him.
His room up on the third floor had a blue carpet and tan walls with different paintings hung on the wall. The only other people who had a room up there was his adviser and the Seer, who were roommates. Everyone else had their own seperate, smaller rooms on the second floor. Having advice and being able to see the future were important in his decision-making process. An elaborate dresser was in the corner, and a fireplace right in his bedroom, and a chandelier hanging from the ceiling. There was a coffee table next to his dresser with some newspapers and mailed letters on it, and his sword and holster lay on his bed. Additionally, three chairs sat by his window outlooking to the rest of. How is he supposed to maintain income and push his Caste into mainstream society at the same time? It was paradoxical...
"Hmmm... Where are they...?" he said to himself, going to step into the hall. He opened his door, and looked down the corridor. "Keiron! Lucia! Come into my room!" he called out. He scratched his arm before deciding to return to his room. He sat in a grand cloth chair, next to the window. He looked out from his room once again, awaiting their arrival.
Keiron was sitting in his bed, trying to think as it was less chaotic in the slow mornings. He looked from his full size bed to the one across the room. A leather band was on his chest, going from his shoulder and stretching around to his side opposite the shoulder. He had red pants on with a tattered blue cloth belt, tied to a gold ring.
"Already... what is it now?" he said more to himself, discontentedly, but loud enough that Lucia could hear. He stood up, flinging his blanket back onto his bed. "Well, you heard him, Lucia..." Keiron was not fond of calling people by their titles. He rubbed his eyes. Just another day at work. Just another day hating my job, Keiron thought. He coughed some. If only I wasn't so valuable, he thought.

Re: Out of the Shadows
I can do the Erlking. I like doing roles like this and I can have a character sheet by tonight.
Re: Out of the Shadows
I could do the Erlking, but I'm not sure if you want to save that for someone else.
Re: Out of the Shadows
@Ion: Gotcha, I'll accept her.
@Redred33mer: Yes, if you felt so inclined. Like I said, not a whole lot of limits, but make sure it sorta fits with the vague description.

Re: Out of the Shadows
Question about the seer. The Seer could be practiced in closer ranged combat as well, right? (If so, I'd like to reserve it)
Re: Out of the Shadows
Can I reserve Jormungandr's Hunter? I should have it shortly, if my computer behaves.
Re: Out of the Shadows
Roger that. Reserved.
I hope more people join... It'd suck if this got no where...
