Can I reserve the fallen angel girl? The evil one <3

[Jane Storm]

@ bellelaine and shadowkat : Sure :)

[Zodia195]

I'd like to reserve the evil female human. I have a question though first before I create a profile. When you say evil, does the char have to be completely bad or can she have good traits as well?

[Jane Storm]

@Zodia 195 : if you read the introduction carefully, you'll see it's mentioned that they must share both good and evil traits. I don't want any evil/good stereotypes so by all means please make character as you want it :D

[Zodia195]

Okay I'll take that char than. Um, does it matter what kind of image you want besides it being historically accurate?

[Jane Storm]

Nope, as long as is visually stunning @_@ ..joking...It's up to you :)

Greetings and salutations everyone. I just got your pm Jane storm and am intrigued by this RP. I would like to reserve the fallen angel male (good) if at all possible.

[Jane Storm]

Great! It's being reserved for you :) we need at least 2 more characters and we're getting this show started!

I changed the 1 character maximum rule mainly because I'm thinking to have two (I just got a good idea for one) so now if anyone else wants to he/she can have another chary :P

[akai-pyon]

Birth name: Vilktor Titov
Known As: Hudson Dylan Markette
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Morality: Good
Class: Noble
Appearance:
Standing around 6’4 young Hudson is a force to be reckoned with. He has always been large in stature, but he is also built quite ruggedly. Hudson was never one for staying inside and his muscular physique shows this well. His shaggy chestnut hair highlight his stunning blue eyes very well. His jaw is very well defined, almost giving him a chiseled appearance.
Personality:
Hudson is extremely down to Earth. The fact he is noble has never really been apparent to him. He acts more like he must pull his weight in the world, when in reality he doesn’t have to lift a finger if he chooses not. He has always been that way, though. When he sets his mind to something it is about as sure he will accomplish it as the sun will rise. He is extremely loving and good-hearted. He was the perfect son that any mother could ask for. He was always home when she requested, up until the day she died. Ever since then he does not see the point in being so good-hearted, as everyone dies anyway.
Weaponry and equipment:
He carries a small engraved knife he gave his mother after she was attacked. He took it back once she passed and as held onto since. Not for defense, more for the memory.
History:
Hudson was born in Southern Russia to a young woman of eighteen, out of wedlock and to the horror of her parents. To hide the failure and to save their family from further embarrassment Hudson was sold as a slave to the nearby Middle Eastern state. From there he ended up in England. He was sold to a nice family, well nice enough considering they bought him as a slave. The wife was unable to conceive and desperate to fit in with all her other peers figured she would get the next best thing, a slave child. He was raised as their own in a noble’s home. He doesn’t remember much of the past considering he was but two when he was bought. The next couple of years aren’t memorable, until he hits his late teens. Trained from a young age to be in the military Hudson turned eighteen and joined the Royal Navy. He quickly advanced but felt something was missing. When he turned twenty-five he retired and came home. That was a year ago, now he is searching for that thing he felt was missing.
Theme song and extra facts: Both his parents are dead, so he lived on his own in their home.

Full name:John Arbuthnot Fisher
Age: 43
Gender: Male
Morality: Good
Class:Lower Class
Appearance:
Height: 5 feet 10 inches
Weight: 175 lbs
Personality: A consummate professional John is at all times calm, cool, and collected with a perchance for the odd wry cynicism. This wry cynicism is the result of what he is. A bastard child of a whore has no friends in the nobility that make up ships officers after all. But despite this his aloof manner is merely an act, a convincing one, but merely an act. In reality he is terrified of failure, so much so that he has earned a reputation as a strict taskmaster accepting nothing less then perfection from both himself and his crew. After all unlike most ship officers he has no golden safety net and that fact haunts him at night when he lies abed. But mixed with this perfectionist behavior and aloof manner is a core of virtue and honesty. Lacking neither for courage or honor John is a man who puts Crown and Country before all else.
Weaponry and equipment: Aside form his uniform,cutlass,pistol, and a small manor near York, England John owns little. Although he is the captain of the HMS Warrior which does see him well off financially. Prize money is good when they capture ships after all.
History: John Arbuthnot Fisher was born in the east side of London in a whorehouse to a lady of ill repute known only as Scarlet. His birth was both difficult and taxing on his mother whom never did truly recover from the effort. Instead dying a few months afterwards she left her son to be raised in an orphanage. Life in the orphanage was far from ideal, in fact sometimes the boy thought hell itself might be a step up. Be that as it may John showed remarkably keen intellect and analytical thought patterns, soon outstripping boys twice his age in academic pursuits. He soon proved to be a favorite of the other boy becoming their leader despite his young age. And his physical prowess soon manifested itself. While neither the biggest nor the tallest John proved able to dance circles around nearly anyone at any given sport.

And so these qualities combined to make him stand out from the other boys at the orphanage. So much so that at the age of 12 he was adopted by a childless couple. While not the richest of parents they came to love John deeply, something he has been grateful for to this day. Raising him in their south side London house John came to work as a file clerk, helping his adoptive parents in their dry goods store. But the sight of the ships in the harbor fired his imagination when the crushingly boring paper work got to him. Then again most British boys felt the same about the ships, after all the sea is what made their Island great. British ships sailed all over the world, nearly unchallenged. Their holds filled with treasures from the far flung corners of Asia and Africa.

His parents were not oblivious of their adoptive child's daydreams and so devised to help John fulfill them. Making this known to him the boy saw a chance to seize this dream and make it reality. Eschewing signing aboard a merchant ship he set his sights on the Navy, the man'o'wars being the center of his dreams. At this his adoptive parents balked a little, after the navy was a brutal place. Where flogging,death, and loss of limb were all too common. But knowing once Pandora's box was open there was no shutting it they set a course of action. John would be no Jack Tar, he would join the Navy an officer.

So begging, borrowing, and smooth talking they secured a place for John at the Royal Navy Academy. Where the orphanage had been thought of as hell the academy must be it's ninth circle. The other cadets for the most part were the spoiled brats of the upper class and so disdained this adoptive son of a lower class merchant parents. So way or and other the story of his birth got out, thus forever exuding John from the the club as it were. But he cared not a wit for their disdain. Instead he threw himself at his studies and so proved to be the most talented student in the school. His achievements became the stuff of legend, there was simply no subject regarding Naval matters he could not master. By the time his training tour rolled around John could probably have built a ship of the line with his own bare hands, had someone given him the need materials.

Serving aboard the HMS Falcon for his training tour John soon proved a natural commander. His lower class status earning him much respect from the Jack Tars. His sheer skill in Naval matters earning him high praise from the Captain. And so when he returned to the Royal Navy Academy it was to fanfare ( at least from the Teachers who could overlook his heritage.) Graduating with full honors and top of his class he was presented with the ceremonial cutlass that symbolized this fact.

Assigned to the HMS Glover, a small patrol frigate, as a midshipman he soon amassed both respect and medals. While battles proved rare John nonetheless displayed incredible steadfastness and courage in all matters. Never one to rest on his rank he did everything asked of him and then some. But as he rose in rank he began to realize the peril of his situation. He was not a rich man and many a seaman retired early because of injury. While the fear of injury itself were little enough the fear of it's results were not. His parents having died early and in debt left nothing for their adoptive son. And his salary was nothing to envy either. This formed a fear that never truly left him.

Earning his Captain's rank at the age of 38 John became commander of the HMS Warrior. A truly massive ship and one of the first all iron sea going battleships it was the pride of the fleet. Although a ship of the line it was more the capable of independent action. Since earning his Captain's rank John has become even more aloof but still cares for the men under his command. This in turn has made him quite a popular figure amongst the Jack Tar's of the Royal Navy.

Now on two months shore leave John has received an invitation to a Summer Solstice celebration at Mangolia Manor. Something that puzzles him somewhat as he has few friends among the high born. Even fewer that would claim him publicly as a friend. But figuring it can't hurt he accepts.

John often dreams of previous lives his soul has lived. However the Naval Captain is unaware these dreams are in fact memories of previous lives. He often fears that these dreams are in fact a sign of his sanity slowly slipping away. After all what kind of sane man could dream of the past with such vivid clarity, as if he had been there when it happened.
