Munk	The King is Dead The vampire king has fallen; Richard Rousseau is dead. The supernatural underbelly of the city Orlais is stirring, becoming more prominent than ever before. Vampires are blaming vauds for the fall of their leader, and the werewolves are quick to side with their immortal counterparts, whilst the ghosts try and keep out of the way of all three. The humans, of course, are ignorant of the root of the problem, but it cannot remain so for long. And now, with the introduction of the Supernatural Inquisition Squad in the local police department, it’ll be harder to settle the score than ever. But which species will emerge victorious at the end of this war? And which side are you fighting on, anyway? One thing’s for sure: The King is dead, and Orlais will never be the same. ********** Welcome to The King is Dead! This supernatural roleplay is the third incarnation of what was originally known as The Secret of New Orleans, created by our darling Grizzy. The first one was a huge success, featuring secret vampire societies, interspecies romance and a reincarnated vampire hunter from the Middle Ages. Unfortunately, Your Pants was brought down by Russian hackers, and we never found out how things would turn out for our heroes. The second attempt, now led by yours truly and the ever so charming Elexea, contained the bare bones of the first one. It never got far, however, before our Russian nemesis struck again. But the third time, as they say, is the charm, and Elexea and I plan to see this one all the way to the end. A word of warning: This shit be dark. There will likely be sex and death, and there most certainly will be crime, drugs, crazy voodoo, and violence. This ain’t gonna be PG-13, and if that’s not your cup of tea, The King is Dead is probably not for you. If we haven’t scared you off yet, here’s what you need to know before diving into the roleplay. ******** Setting Orlais is a beautiful, old city in Canada, with its roots firmly planted in the French culture that founded it. The city is split into four main districts, and the opportunities and inhabitants in each are unique. Or so they would have you believe… The Val D’Or** is home to the rich and beautiful, but its golden splendor is only something to be seen at night, when the walk is lit with street lamps, as it is practically invisible to the sun during the day. Needless to say, many of the more… unusual residents of the city have taken up living here, and it’s now almost exclusively a mortal-free zone. Residential area. The Central District is home to the city’s nightlife. In the more traditional sense of the word. It’s filled with clubs, bars, brothels and other such dens of iniquity. This is the place you’d be most likely to visit if you needed a little pick me up, or to find a drink or dancer to numb your pain. It’s also a hotbed of vaud activity, and a place of endless suspicion for the police. Places of note include: La fée dansante (brothel), The Jade Dragon (nightclub… strip club… other?), Chateau Rouge (popular vampire hot spot, lots of venom addicts in there.) The Industrial District is rather derelict. It’s not that nobody’s working there, it’s just that many people wish they weren’t. There are a lot of alleyways in the Industrial District, so I’d advise you to keep a firm grip on your bag. Or at least start carrying around some pepper spray. There are also a lot of homeless wandering around the area and some of them are particularly hairy. I’m sure they don’t bite… Places of note include: Lyon Industries (fabric manufacturers), DuBois & Co. (a ”legitimate business”) and The Red Cross (blood bank). The Outskirts are the lowest of the low. Very little nightlife, very few jobs, just shabby little houses for people that can’t afford to live closer to the action. Poor them. There are a few vaud rings running around the area though, so maybe keep your eye out for one and your luck will change! Residential area. Races The population of Orlais, and just about any other place in the world for that matter, is comprised of humans, vauds, vampires, werewolves and ghosts. The following includes a short bio on each, their individual traits, and their disposition towards the other races. Humans Bio Humans are, well, humans. They’re the most populous race, and what they lack in magical ability they make up for in numbers, ingenuity and resilience. They’re also the race least in the know about the supernatural world, although some humans seem to have a clearer view of the supernatural. Not all so-called “clairvoyants” are liars. The Supernatural Inquisition Squad (S.I.S), is a small branch of the Orlais Police Department. It specializes in the capture of those who practice voodoo, or cause any malpractice to human society with their… unnaturalness. The head of the Squad is C.S.I (Chief Supernatural Inquisitor) Jonathon Stroud. If he is unavailable, speak with S.I Rowan DuPont. Traits None of supernatural importance. You know how you are. Disposition Vauds: Voodoo practitioners are kind of like drug dealers or prostitutes: everybody knows a guy who knows a guy who knows one, and everybody knows someone who’s paid for their services. Since practising voodoo is illegal, most law-abiding citizens aren’t fond of them, and since the limit of their powers is unknown, they are also feared by some. Vampires: It’s a widely accepted fact that vamps are real. Since vampires feed on humans, naturally humans aren’t too fond of them. However, vamps are surrounded by a lot of mystery. Nobody’s really sure what’s fact or legend about them, but in general vampires are regarded with fear and hate. Werewolves: A lot of people figure that since vampires exist, werewolves might as well be real, too. Most of the time they look like everyone else, so very few have actually seen a werewolf. Because of this uncertainty, the idea of werewolves is mostly met with doubt or fear. Ghosts: Because of their somewhat elusive nature, practically nobody believes in ghosts. Many have seen ghosts, though, without knowing that’s what it was. Because they’re believed to be fiction, few have an actual opinion on ghosts other than that they’re bullshit. Vauds Bio Technically, vauds are human beings. But the ability to close the gap between this world and the spirit plane is something one is born with. Usually it’s an inherited trait, but spontaneous voodoo abilities have been known to surface in some people. Five years ago, the practice of voodoo was outlawed in North America. Slowly, but steadily, the government is building a supernatural police force, the S.I.S., but so far the only ones they’ve been able to do something about (and, with the exception of vamps, the only ones they’re certain exist) are the vauds. Get caught practising voodoo and you go to jail. Thus, most vauds practise in secrecy. In Orlais, and well beyond its borders, the vauds answer to the oldest and most powerful vaud, Yolanda. Residing in an unknown location in Orlais, she watches over her spiritual family, and almost every vaud regards her with the utmost respect. Traits Vauds can summon spirits from the other plane for various purposes, as well as cast charms and curses. The limits of voodoo are blurry, and the rituals vary wildly from region to region and even person to person, but sacrifice is the staple of voodoo; the greater the spell, the greater the sacrifice. Their eyes glow purple when they’re feeling emotional, as well as when they’re performing magic. Vauds can sense other vauds nearby. Disposition Humans: Vauds have no quarrel with humans, after all they’re basically of the same blood. Of course, since voodoo is illegal, vauds treat humans that approach them with some caution. Risking arrest is a pretty serious deal, and cops have been known to pose as customers. Vampires: Vampires and vauds have one thing in common: the blood. But those damn leeches disgrace the purity of living blood by merely feeding on it. They are an unnatural bridge between the living and the dead, and the world would be better off if they were all wiped out. Vampires are despised greatly. Werewolves: The wolves are tolerated. Many vauds see them as dirty dogs, but in some way they feel a hesintant kinship with them. Werewolves are close to nature, and this connection is hard for the vauds to ignore, so when the wolves show restraint and are in human form, very few vauds have an actual problem with them. Ghosts: Since ghosts are spirits, vauds have some power over them. Generally, they’re not of much interest to them, though; vauds like to concern themselves with the spirits on the other side of the Veil. Some friendships between vauds and ghosts have been recorded—perhaps their mutual appreciation of what’s on the other side of the Veil is the base for these relationships. Vampires Bio These creatures of the night are feared throughout the world. While humans attempt to combat the vampire threat, it’s a lost battle—vampires are strong, fast, and immortal. They’re a noble race, thinking themselves better than everyone else. Their blood is sacred to them, and very rarely is a new vampire created. Every so often, a dead body completely drained of blood will show up, but the vampires are able to sustain themselves on the so-called venom addicts. Like mosquitoes, vampires secrete a substance to keep the blood from coagulating. This venom causes euphoria in the victims, and it’s highly addictive. Those seriously addicted willingly let vampires feed off of them, and keeping them alive means an unending supply of risk-free blood. That said, vampires are largely driven by their impulses. They like violence, sex, and feeding off the living, and sometimes feeding off someone who likes just doesn’t cut it. Some of the more sophisticated vampires dabble in organized crime; after all, they live forever, and it’s much more amusing than television. Although vampires are largely independent people, their ancient magic causes them to all heed their king or queen. The vampire king of Canada, Richard Rousseau, has ruled fairly (or however fairly a vampire can rule) for nearly three hundred years. Traits Vampires are a lot faster, stronger and meaner than humans. They look just like they did when they were turned (so yes, a few fat vampires do exist), but all vampires are pale. They’re immortal! Sunlight kills them, and silver hurts like hell, but garlic is just utterly disgusting to them. A necklace of garlic won’t keep you safe from a vamp, but he might hesitate for a second before diving in. A stake to the heart will disintegrate a vampire in seconds. They do have reflections and shadows. They can’t turn into bats, cats or anything else. Disposition Humans: Food! Vampires see humans as deeply inferior. Every now and then a human manages to kill a vampire, but the vamps know that they’re the superior race. Vampire-human relationships aren’t common, but they do happen. It rarely results in a turning, however—because of their age, vampires are rarely monogamous. There’s nothing new except someone new. Vauds: They may be able to contact the dead, but they’re still human. Some vampires even like the taste of vaud blood even better. Mostly, though, they’re treated as regular humans. Werewolves: Dirty dogs. Vampires tolerate these abominations because werewolves are willing to do almost anything for them, but not much more. They’re not immortal, they’re hairy and ugly, and most importantly, their blood tastes like crap. Vamps don’t kill werewolves, but they sure ain’t friendly towards them. They’re treated like dogs. Ghosts: Vampires think ghosts are a blatant waste of time. Vampires are all about the carnal pleasures, and since ghosts haven’t got a body, they’re not worth dealing with. Werewolves Bio At full moon, these people turn into terrifying hybrid creatures, completely at the mercy of their instincts. Unlike vampires, however, most of the time they can walk among us in broad daylight, keep a job, have actual relationships. Werewolves feel very close to nature. Living in giant cities makes many werewolves feel claustrophobic, and they’ll often favor the outskirts of a city, just like many werewolves favor wearing clothes made of natural fabrics like leather or wool. Social creatures by heart, werewolves often gather in packs, lead by a packmaster (always a man; feminism is for humans!). In the old days packs lived, hunted, and ate together. To preserve the werewolf bloodline, inbreeding wasn’t uncommon. These days, werewolves mostly live by themselves in order to maintain a regular lifestyle, but many still gather every full moon in order to turn together. Traits Turn into half-man, half-wolf hybrids every full moon. Many werewolves can also change at will, and some change when they’re very angry, aroused or happy. Stronger and faster than humans, but not as much as vampires. Look quite muscular. Werewolves are often hairier than humans. In these well-groomed times, this mostly manifests itself in generous volumes of hair and handsome beards. Long-lived. Werewolves live to be up to two hundred years old. Disposition Humans: Most werewolves treat humans like equals, largely in order to make it easier to fit in. The more primitive wolves, however, look down on humans and either refuse to deal with them, or treat them badly. Vauds: In large, vauds are treated like humans. Vauds know what the wolves are, and the wolves know what the vauds are, and they both realize the importance of keeping a low profile. Since they both feel a strong connection to nature, wolves have a sort of absentminded respect for vauds. Vampires: Most werewolves are deeply envious of vampires’ immortality. Many werewolves are almost lapdogs to the vamps, often working as bodyguards for them, since they can stand the sunlight. Those who don’t revere the vampires, however, usually despise their appetite for violence. Ghosts: Werewolves have little interest in ghosts, as they, like vampires, primarily concern themselves with what they can see, hear, and feel. No grudges with ‘em or anything. Ghosts Bio Not everybody passes through the Veil to the spirit plane when they die. Some, usually those who’ve died in a state of great anger, fear, love, or another strong emotion, stay on the mortal plane as ghosts. These earthly spirits are often hard to get along with, as many of them are caught in the state they were in at the moment of death. Some, however, manage to rise above emotions. Those who do often choose to live (however paradoxical)on the mortal plane, forming new relationships or revisiting old ones, and in rare cases, a ghost is able to come to terms with the fact that he or she is dead, and is finally able to pass on to the spirit plane. Ghosts tend to gather in small communities, often places they’ve felt a great connection to in their human life. Many old churches are gathering places of these ghost societies (many of which are led by one or more assertive ghosts), as are old houses in which many people have lived. Traits Ghosts look human, but often with a “wispy” look. They’re colorless and somewhat transparent. They sail right through walls, objects, and people. Some ghosts can interact with physical objects, though most of these have little control over them (these frequently become known as poltergeists). They can turn invisible! Since they’re not “all there”, a ghost can fly, or rather float, with little effort. Disposition Humans: A lot of ghosts resent humans to some extent, envious of the life they no longer have. A ghost living in a house with a happy family may even become so jealous that it tries to spoil things for them, and becomes a so-called poltergeist. Not all are so mean, though; ghosts who have let go of their dark emotions have been known to form meaningful relationships with open-minded humans, and some even stay with their loved ones after departing. Vauds: Some ghosts dread vauds, fearing that they will be victims of a horrible spell if they let a vaud near (and in some cases, they wouldn’t be completely wrong). Some ghosts form a bond with a vaud as they might with a regular human, only strengthened by their mutual connection to the spirit world, but most leave them alone, just as the vauds leave them alone. Vampires: Because they were once human, some ghosts still fear vampires. Those who have realized that the vampires no longer pose a threat to them have little concern for them, except perhaps a feeling of contempt. Werewolves: Like with vampires, many ghosts realize that werewolves are no longer a danger to them, and as such leave them be. They’re the supernatural races that ghosts get along with the best, as they have no control over them as vauds do, yet aren’t as cold-blooded as vampires. Close friendships between werewolves and ghosts have been known to form many times throughout the ages. ********** All right, are you still here? Fantastic! We’d be glad to have you. Here are a few quick rules to make sure this is fun for everybody: Standard RP rules apply. Don’t godmode, no Mary-Sues, and pay attention to spelling and grammar. Try to keep the quality of your posts up; at least one good paragraph in each post. Keep it interesting and include something for others to react upon. No speed posting, it makes people sad. Wait for at least two other people to post before you post again (unless you’re posting as a different character, that is). Multiple characters are allowed. Keep in mind, though, that it’s double the work Character death is a possibility. It won’t be without your permission, of course, but try to see it as an opportunity for you to do reckless and badass things without worrying for your character’s safety. You can always create a new one. That said: Don’t spend a week on your character. We’d rather you display the intricacies of him/her in-game and have some fun rather than mourn your character deeply if/when he or she dies. Have fun! As long as you’re entertained and keeping your fellow players and GMs entertained as well, this can’t go wrong. ******** So, now that you’re up to speed on background and rules, let’s get your character in the works. Here’s the CS: Name: Keep in mind that a 3000 year old vampire won’t be named Jimmy, and consider the possibility that your werewolf might have chosen a name that fits her animalistic nature. Stuff like that. Age: Over 18 (physically, anyway), please. This is for practical reasons; you’ll miss out on a lot of fun gameplay if you can’t get into a club! Gender: This one’s a no-brainer. Species: Human, vaud, vampire, werewolf, or ghost. No hybrids. Appearance: Either a somewhat detailed description, or a picture. Either way, make sure to include height or weight. Occupation: What do you do for a living? Vampires probably don’t have any jobs, except for Mafia-like kingpin jobs. Disposition: No need for a complete personality, just your character’s general outlook on the world. Short bio: You don’t have to include your character’s entire life story, but if you’re really old it might be interesting to hear what you did during the Middle Ages or something. Other: Anything you want to include. Possibly any equipment or clothing you want to mention. ********** That’s it! We’re looking forward to playing with you. This is the OOC thread, in which all talk that’s not in character will take place (although if you make a slip-up now and then we won’t kill you, just maul you a little). Please post your character sheet in this thread as well. Oh, one last thing: Elexea and I don’t know who killed Richard Rousseau or why he was killed. In fact, we don’t know much more than you guys do, so for a large part it’s up to you to help shape the plot. Pretty much anything’s permitted, as long as it fits with what’s been established in previous posts. Now go explore the streets of Orlais! We’ll be waiting for you.

Jaan	Name: Jenny Drakwood Age: actual age 56 appeared age 23 Gender: Female Appearance: http://www.coolest-vampire-art-gallery.com/images/gangrel-vampire-clan-alice-by-one-vox.jpg 72 kg 176 cm Occupation: Piano player, blues singer at a club and sometimes does odd jobs for Smoke Disposition: Does not like being a vampire at all but has learned to live with it, a loner mostly Short Bio: Jennie was embraced while she was at a Beatles concert in LA. Her sire had been a tall and wild looking vampire. She was attacked only for her blood at first but when she held out on her own against the vampire for two hours giving him the joy of the hunt that he had never had before and almost killing him at one point with a silver ring she rammed in his moth. Most other vampires would have got angry at such a thing but not Smoke. He enjoyed the hunt, in that being more like a werewolf than vampire. As a reward for Jennies will to fight he granted her immortality. Jennie rose the next night her neck stiff and unimaginable hunger for blood. Smoke provided showing her some pray in the distance. Hatred forgotten Jennie attacked and the ferocity with which she had fought the turning had clearly found a new outlet. She now travels with Smoke helping him when he asks. Name: Smoke Age: appeard age 24 actual age 197 Gender: Male Species: Vampire Appearance: http://www.deviantart.com/download/71117810/Vampire_Gangrel_Jack_by_Orestes_Sobek.jpg Weight 90 kg 187 cm Occupation: He can get people anything they need be it drugs weapons or artifacts of a rare quality. Disposition: Positive a fun loving guy who enjoys a good hunt and hates venom addicts because they are no challenge Short bio: Smoke never knew who turned him or why because he suffered a rare sort of amnesia that only took his memories of before he was turned. The last memory Smoke had was of seeing a white female face showing him something under her cloak and after that all memory’s of his past self were gone. When he woke he found a claymore next to him inscribed in with a strange Hebrew script. The only reason he knows to call him self Smoke is because a mob of people attacked him the next evening and they were calling out for Smoke. He escaped by killing four villagers and maiming a fifth. When he had left he began searching for something though even he was not sure of what the final goal was. He only knew that it had something to do with the sword. But no linguist could decipher it and after the first century Smoke stopped caring. He had never turned anyone until Jennie came along but he has yet to regret that decision as Jennie has helped him acquire quite many items of value for his clients. Other: Carries a claymore on his back that was lying beside him when he was turned Better? This reply was modified 112 days ago by Jaan. This reply was modified 112 days ago by Jaan.

Elexea	Name: Rowan DuPont Age: 29 Gender: Male Species: Human Appearance: Like this. He’s 6″1 and weighs 176lbs. Occupation: Supernatural Inquisitor. He’s Jonathon Stroud’s second in command and does most of the legwork. Disposition: He thinks he’s helping, making things safer for the citizens of Orlais and so he tries to be kind. Sadly, things don’t always work out that way, do they? Short bio: Rowan is originally from a small farm town in Wyoming. He first came to Orlais when he was 21, in pursuit of a girl he was rather desperately in love with. It didn’t work out well. She was horrifically mauled in what he was informed was a drug deal gone bad. Rowan thinks that’s bullshit. He knows vauds did this, he just needs to find out which one, and then wipe them off the face of the earth. This is the reason he joined the S.I.S. Other: Would have made an excellent gun slinger if he’d have been born a few centuries earlier. He’s always armed, and always wearing that ugly beige trench coat.

Munk	@jaan, I’m digging the modern vampire idea. I’m a little hesitant as to how she got turned, though. Vampires are sort of picky about whom they turn, so she’d have to have been pretty extraordinary in her human life. We’d like you to rethink the bio a bit, but the rest looks fine. Remember height and weight, by the way

Sheridyn	Name: Elizabeth Buquet Age: Looks 24. She’s actually around 300. Gender: Female Species: Vampire Appearance: Elizabeth is, to put it blatantly, drop dead gorgeous. Long, sleek black hair and deep lavender eyes framed by thick eyelashes. She’s curvy and has long, willowy limbs. 5’7, 5’10 when she wears her boots, 124lbs. Has a devilish smile that’ll make even the strongest willed of men succumb to her wishes. Occupation: Doesn’t really have, or need one. Disposition: She’s quite moody, and goes between cold and murderous to kind and motherly with almost no warning. Short bio: Was married into royalty as a human, and was very high on the social pyramid. She was turned in the mid-1600s by a powerful vampire who taught her well. Elizabeth only stayed with him for a few decades before traveling around Europe, leaving a trail of trouble and broken hearts. Now that she’s older, she tries to lay low, but everyone knows her name, and everyone knows that where Elizabeth goes, trouble follows. Other: She’s always wearing her boots. Always. She has a soft spot for children and will not, under any circumstance, hurt a child. I hope this is okay. I’m super excited!

Jet-Kyo	Name: Severin Wörner Age: 38 in appearance Gender: Male Species: Ghost Appearance: His hair looks short with slight bangs, he has piercing eyes a smile that looks sadistic and malicious. He wears what looks like a leather long coat with fur in the sleeves and on the lining of the neck. Belts tie his sleeves shut. He wears a blank shirt under the coat and nice enough pants with older looking boots. Stands at 6’0″ and is weightless Occupation: In life, he was an Arms dealer going by multiple aliases with an extremely successful business Disposition: Content with and understands that he is dead, and is growing more and more used to interacting with physical objects. He can’t control anything to the extent of being able to use it properly, but he can use it. (can’t actually weild a sword, but can hold it long enough to stab someone close to him or throw it across a room, just no real sword fighting) Short bio: Severin Wörner was the most successful arms dealer of his day. He dealt weapons to the mafia and drug dealers to Vauds, Werewolves and even Vampires. A vaud found out that he’d been dealing to both him and the vampires, and plotted to kill him. Failing twice, but killing Severin the third time. So naturally, in his “second life” Severin despises most vauds. Other: I guess he could be concidered as a “powerful ghost” but he’s still just a ghost. I might bring in a second guy who would be a vampire. But turns out due to the parental block on our house computer, I can’t even view this thread unless I’m on his dad’s lap top >< SO hopefully I'll at least be able to post with this guy.

Kiar	I didn’t play in either of the originals, but this sounds pretty cool. I’ve been looking for something more mature-ish. If it’s all right with you guys, I’ll post a sheet once I see the distribution of characters. I prefer to even roleplays out (like I’ll be a male human, if humans and male characters are in the minority.)

Munk	@elexea, @grizzylove, and @jet1kyo – your character sheets are in the second post now. Looking good. @jaan, I’m withholding confirmation on your character for now until you’ve had a chance to look at your bio @kiar: Sounds good. I’m sure we’ll be needing humans and vauds.

Munk	Now, if y’all are wondering where the character masterpost went, the answer is here. These WordPress forums may be safe, but they sure are buggy as hell. I think I’ll risk adding characters to the intro post instead :O

Moose	Name: Michael Walker Age: Appears 26 but is around 275 years old Gender: Male Species: Vampire Appearance: 6′ 5″ and around 185 lbs. Michael has pitch black hair and bright, vibrant blue eyes. He has a nice build and a handsome masculine face. Occupation: Michael considers dabbling in crime a career. Disposition: Arrogant and flirtatious. He is rebellious and does not really like heeding to a monarch, but does tolerate it. He can be social for a vampire but has a temper that is quick to stir. Short bio: No one really knows how Michael was turned and neither does he, and he really feels he shouldn’t care too much. Always being a mischief maker, he like to get into some criminal affairs, and plenty of scandalous sex. He was once hired as a nighttime assassin, but quit around the 1950′s finding it more boring then anything. Other than that everything else is a mystery, Michael thinks it keeps things interesting.

She went into the Central District one day and met a vampire who fed on her. She became a venom addict after the first time and hasn’t stopped since, going into the Central District every night hoping to find a Vampire who will feed. Not that none aren’t willing. Other: Carries a switch blade in her pockets everywhere she goes. Will this work?

Hetbez McBen	Name: Howard Layton Age: 26, doesn’t share it though. Gender: Male. Species: Human Appearance: Standing at about 5’10”, and weighing about 180lbs. Brown hair in a crew cut style. Light stubble is spread across his face, and he has a small scar underneath his left eye. He is only slightly muscular. Occupation: He acts as a gun for hire in the industrial district. You can get a lot of business there. Disposition: He thinks extremely highly of himself. Typically will try to get things done by himself, but is willing to work with others if they don’t get in his way. Short bio: Originally growing up in northern Ontario, he moved to Montreal at the age of 19 in search of finding a career. He was instantly fascinated with firearms, as if it was a forbidden fruit, as the gun laws in Ontario were so strict. He became a hunter, selling the meats of his game to butchers. As his skill with such weapons grew, he started wondering if his career should be take a turn for the more…Lucrative side of hunting. Howard was never foreign to law breaking, so a job as a mercenary could only be the best for him. When he heard about the Industrial District of Orlais , he immediately packed his bags, and set out to truly start his new life. Other: Currently owns the following weaponry: Shotgun, revolver, and an old steak knife he stole from someone’s house. This reply was modified 112 days ago by Hetbez McBen.

Munk	All right, I think we’re gonna have to close the RP for new submissions here. @kiar, you’re still welcome to create a character. If you do, that’ll put us somewhere around ten characters. Not bad Everyone else, looking good. I’ll see if I can squeeze you into the masterpost without breaking anything this time. if not, well, we’re still on the first page. That limits the search a bit.

Kiar	Cool. Let me know what you think. Name: Alyesha (All-ee-esh-uh) Sallem. Age: 30 Gender: Female. Species: Vaud. Appearance: Your typical gypsy appearance. 5′ 6”, 130 lbs. Often smokes. Occupation: She has a shop in the Central District called the Golden Lotus. On the outside, it claims to be a Fine Wine and Spirits Shop, though in reality, she deals with a different kind of spirit. All of her dealing and practice is done out of the Golden Lotus. Disposition: Tough – you have to be, living in Orlais. Drives hard bargains, when it comes to her work. Short bio: Her father was a vaud, and so is she, as far back as she can remember. She took over her father’s shop when he disappeared ten years ago. Afraid to know if he is really dead or not, she has yet to try and summon him from beyond the veil. Other: Carries a couple of poisoned, silver daggers on her person. Just in case.

Munk	Looks good to me. Glad to have a vaud among us! I’ll have the IC up sometime tonight, once I manage to finish my own character
January 31, 2012 at 4:32 pm #46568
Jaan	Did you see the changes I made BTW?
January 31, 2012 at 8:33 pm #46646
Munk	Alright Jaan, we can live with those changes IC post is being created this very moment!
January 31, 2012 at 8:39 pm #46650
Munk	Oh, by the way: Name: Hank Kaiser Age: 46 Gender: Male Species: Human Appearance: Like this. 5’9”, weighs about 170 lbs. Occupation: Supervisor in the Red Cross blood bank Disposition: Not very content with his life, but he manages. Gotta keep up appearances, right? Short bio: Originally from Toronto, Hank’s been living in Orlais for more than half of his life. He’s been working in the blood bank for a long time now, but it’s his wife, Sarah, who really brings home the bacon. He and his wife have a 24-year-old son, Rick, whom they haven’t seen for years. Other: His wife’s pregnant. It sure as hell wasn’t planned.

Captain Mollyanne Sunshine	When can we start?
January 31, 2012 at 11:26 pm #46806
Moose	It started… right?
January 31, 2012 at 11:28 pm #46809
Munk	Oh my, I totally forgot to link you to the IC thread! Here you go! Feel free to get started. I won’t be posting in character until tomorrow
February 2, 2012 at 11:46 pm #47971
Munk	I’m loving how this is a “dark” roleplay, and half the posts in the thread have made me chuckle definitely liking the characters, should be fun to watch when things take a turn for the worse.
February 2, 2012 at 11:47 pm #47975
Captain Mollyanne Sunshine	Oh man, I’m excited!
February 2, 2012 at 11:49 pm #47980
Munk	I’m thinking giant nuclear bomb right in the middle of town. Or maybe not, that would be a waste of a good setting
February 2, 2012 at 11:50 pm #47984
Captain Mollyanne Sunshine	Maybe not nuclear.
February 3, 2012 at 12:13 am #48016
Munk	Christ, you two, get a room!
February 3, 2012 at 2:21 pm #48257
Jaan	Any one want to be the client otherwise it will be a trap set up for Smoke and Jenny
February 3, 2012 at 4:30 pm #48284
Elexea	Jeez, took me long enough to post, didn’t it?
February 4, 2012 at 12:46 am #48538
Moose	Can I have catch up for the story? I am so lost…
February 4, 2012 at 3:34 am #48621
Sheridyn	Um… Diego and Tristan met Elizabeth, and they’ve been walking around and talking. They met Severin, who Elizabeth bought a pistol from and now they’re all talking about the king’s death. Hank is at Alyesha’s shop, in need of some sort of magical service. Jenny and Smoke are on their way to the Industrial District to do some sort of transaction. Howard is on to his next job, killing Elizabeth. And Dupont is on the scene of a Vaud related crime.
February 4, 2012 at 10:07 am #48691
Munk	Jaan, what kind of client did you have in mind? I’m okay with playing a disposable character
February 4, 2012 at 11:33 am #48700
Jaan	Someone powerful in need of something hard to get maybe a vaud who needs something wery special for a big sacrefice or something And later it will turn out that I shouldn’t have given them that stuff because evil shit will start happening. But if you mind playing someone e like that I can just set up a trap for myself.

Jet-Kyo	((Since I’m actually able to get on, I’ma make a Vaud so Kiar isn’t the only one lol vaud friend!)) Name: Jaden Bancroft (Wörner) Age: 24 Gender: Male Species: Vaud Appearance: He wears a blank white mask which is like one way glass. He has dark unkempt hair, purple eyes. He’s skinny, but has created a potion that boosts his physical strength which he carries on him always. He wears a sleeveless trench coat and blank tight tank top under that. He has faded jeans and boots with finger-less gloves, but has burnt his fingers purposefully just so he can’t be tracked. When not going around as a vaud, he has a brisk jacket and sneakers instead of the Mask, trench coat, gloves, and boots. Occupation: He’s an intern in the SIS for forensics. Usually he tries very hard to keep his crimes covered Disposition: Holds a very low regard for human life Short bio: Is Severin’s son. He hid the fact he was a Vaud very well from him since so many of his clients were of the super natural. He inadvertently led the Vaud that wished his father dead into their home – where they managed to kill Severin. Other: Is great in armed and close combat due to his father’s training.
February 5, 2012 at 10:03 pm #49376
Jet-Kyo	So what’s on the scroll, Jaan? I’m sure it’ll connect Severin and his son somehow due to what you posted, but mind giving me some clues? lol PM me if you have to.
February 5, 2012 at 10:37 pm #49395
Jaan	Writing it up now.
February 5, 2012 at 11:00 pm #49406
Munk	@jet1kyo Someone’s been watching Dexter Character looks good. I’m getting quite a bit of “undercover criminal” vibe from him—perhaps you wanna tone that down a bit IC. Most vauds aren’t exactly serial killers or something like that, their magic is just misunderstood and, well, illegal. Of course, if he’s a serial killer who just so happens to be a vaud as well… No further activity from me tonight. Monday tomorrow, need “sleep” and “rest” etc.
February 6, 2012 at 4:13 am #49696
Jet-Kyo	yeah, I intended to keep it low lol and yeah.. dexter xD
February 6, 2012 at 3:05 pm #49757
Kiar	Haha I’ve watch quite a bit of that recent too. Yay, creepy Vaud friend!
February 6, 2012 at 4:12 pm #49761
Munk	I just started watching it as well, so I caught the reference straight away Also, the more creepy people, the better.
February 7, 2012 at 3:13 am #50123
Kiar	Bahaha! I love Hank, he’s such a dork. Sniffing some random powder in a witch’s shop – you should turn him into a newt or something.
February 7, 2012 at 12:39 pm #50321
Munk	I was actually considering leaving that up to you, it being Alyesha’s shop and all. Maybe something less drastic, but I’m up for something that’ll mess him up I’m growing quite fond of Hank as well. He’s very entertaining to play, and he’s got a lot of potential… If he doesn’t end up getting himself killed. Also, just watched the season finale of the first season of Dexter. EXCITING
February 7, 2012 at 3:21 pm #50340
Kiar	Well, since he’s your character I figured you should have a hand in what happens to him – I’ll have to think about it. (Possibilities: a curse [bad luck, death touch], a transfiguration charm [temporary and/or controlled transformation into an animal, such as a cat], possession [by a demon or ghost of some kind; could be temporary], anything else you can come up with.) Yeah, they really know how to do season finales in Dexter. Even if the rest of the season is mediocre, you can always expect an exciting last episode.
February 7, 2012 at 3:25 pm #50341
Munk	I’ll have to watch some more Dexter, then. But there are way too many series I need to watch this year D: New episodes of Walking Dead, new season of True Blood, new season of Skins, new season of Falling Skies… I like bad luck or death touch. Both would be pretty funny—Hank comes in to get rid of his wife’s baby so he can keep living his mediocre life, ends up with a death sentence himself. Poetic justice <3
February 7, 2012 at 3:39 pm #50345
Kiar	Oh yes, I am looking forward to the next Walking Dead season. Also, since you mentioned it in another thread, I think I’ll have to check out Falling Skies. K, i’ll be on later, so Hank’s curse will be administered then. Or you can do it.
