[b][u]The Story[/u][/b]
So, do you think you now your town? There is more to it than meets the eye. Creatures of myth and legend hid their true nature form the modern world, living under the guise of normalcy. That crazy old lady down the road is a witch, the night clerk at the movie rental store is a vampire, that homeless guy in the park is a troll.
Magic and secrecy had been adequate to hide them from society, and having a few people in the right agencies enough to misled prying eyes. But now, science and modern technology is making hiding difficult. Forensic science can find the traces a vampire leaves on his victims, satellites imagery can spot unusual activity, even ecologist are raising eyebrows at strange animals and wolf packs. In response, leaders of the supernatural communities have been making plans to come out to the public in the best possible light before the wrong people force them to.
[spoiler=Plot]
That is the root of our problem. Not everyone wants to come out. They know enough to expect the discrimination and fear that will plague the populace, no matter how sugar coated the leaders make their existence. The like their quiet life the way it is. Others despise the new rules imposed on them, and long for the days of old when they could kill as they wanted; when humans trembled in fear of their power and might. They want to return to the ways of the old days, they don't want to adapt.

Even worse, two radical groups have sprang up. From the vampires, someone is making a clan of ghouls; vampires with no more intelligence than an animals, living only to hunt and drink blood, loyal to their creator, who does not take kindly to the new regime. From the weres, a pack calling themselves the bloodhounds, who also resent the authority has cropped up. And no one really knows what the witches are up to as The Triad never really had that much power over the covens.

Add to that the fact that a certain department of the government has agents out, keeping track of the supernaturals in the town and hunters still doubt the intentions of almost all supernaturals, the communities are in a tight spot. The Council, a group representing several supernatural species (something between the mafia and the UN) won't touch them either. So, the question is; which side are you on? [/spoiler]

[spoiler=Info]
To make it standardized, there are a few guidelines pertaining to the species in the RP. I may add new races if members request them. But here are the starting races.

[b]Weres-[/b] predominantly wolves. Their are a few werecats around, but they are generally either solitary or annoyingly curious. Were are weak to silver. It inhibits their natural magic and enough can kill them. Were generally get weaker in the presence of silver. Making weres requires an attack that leaves the victim near death. Were magic involves illusions, blanking out sound in an area, disinterest charms, stuff like that. Need to change every full moon. Weres have two forms: human and beast (which is larger than normal and has opposable thumbs.) Natural weres (those born rather than changed) are rare as changing cause miscarriages so the mother has to stay full beast during the pregnancy, something that risks them losing themselves to the beast and human mothers can only give birth to humans.
Changing forms takes a up to three minutes and is painful, but natural weres change faster. Weres can sense other weres change. Werewolves talent is always dominance or submission. The more dominant they are, the more likely they are able to scare humans and other wolves with a glare. Submissive wolves can escape notice by seeming to blend into the background, but are meeker. Weres have sharper senses, even in human form, especially smell and hearing, but have to learn to use it.

[b]Vampires-[/b] blood suckers, weak to sunlight, yadda, yadda. Religious symbols only work if the wielder believes. So atheists are screwed when it comes to vampires. They do not need to kill their victims, but some think killing is part of the experience. Making a new vampire involves exchanging large quantities of blood and the maker will be down and out for a day or so. The maker and made share a link for a few years following a new vampire being made. Unfortunately, vampires don't have magic aside from shadow spells, and it must be learned. Generally, the vampire had to have been a magic user before being made.
Vampire saliva has healing properties to mortals, which comes on handy for those who don't kill their prey. By exchanging small quantities of blood, they can control humans for a short while. Vampires resist staking (they just need it pulled out and time to regenerate) and are best dealt with through beheading and burning. Or sunshine. Fun.
Like Weres, vampires have a sharper sense of smell and hearing. But they don't need to breath. They only breath to smell things. They have no sense of taste for anything but blood and living flesh. They are a bit faster than werewolves (matched with werecats) but are more evenly matched against a beast form.

[b]Witches (and warlocks)-[/b] Black and White. White are weaker and focus on potions and rituals to cast spells. Black use sacrifice and dealings with spirits. Witchcraft plays with the mind. Often involves blood. Should I say more? They summon spirits to act as familiars that help in casting their spells.

[b]Wizards and Mages-[/b] manipulate nature and the elements. Wizards use teleportation spells a lot. The distinction in mostly semantics.

[b]Hunters/exorcist/slayer[/b]- or whatever you want to call it. Normally plain humans who think the supernatural are the spawn of the devil. Some work for the government.

[b][Other: Ascended[/b]- An ancient race that is rumoured to be the origins to most species, however they are in fact beings that have evolved passed all other being classifications. Now only a handful left Ascended exist because to be born into an Ascended you must push your entire being passed it's limits. All ascended have speeds that are barely visible to the human eye if not at all, able to lift up a couple tons in weight and are able to use most magics if they were skilled at it before. An Ascended are able to die, but the only way to kill them is with Ytterbium, which is a rare metal with an incredible magical absobtion capabilities through the heart, which in turn drains them of their powers and makes them mortal. (The fact that they have a stake through the heart generally goes on to kill the mortal too)

[b]Others-[/b] Their are many supernatural species and I discuss It if/as it pops up.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Important Places]
Newport Butchery- One of the largest shops in the city. Supplier of pig blood if a vampire needs it. Also caters to wolves and their massive appetite. Witches get their gorier ingredients here too.

Mike's Buffet and Sport's Bar- One of the best all you can eat places in the city. A bit expensive, especially if you are a were, but they turn a blind eye to those going back for sevenths. Owned by a family with a couple of wolves in it.

New, Half and Quarter Moon bars- three bars scattered around the city. Neutral ground for the supernatural. Backed by the Council.

After Dark- A club run by the vampires. Drunks make convenient midnight snacks, so...

Paws Veterinary- Caters to hurt weres, weres having issues and the newly changed.

Northside Preserve- a lovely forest often used by weres for running off Full moon fever.

Stained Pages- the Bookstore/coffee shop owned by Tyler.

Sanguine Mission- an open hospice for the sick and dying who cannot pay to get into a proper hospital and secretly a place where the unwilling vampires and lycanthropes can come to help control their new monstrous instincts.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=NPCs and other stuff]This RP takes place in a port city I have named (after much deliberation) Newport. As such, I realize all our characters may or may not interact, so this is a list of current pre-created NPCs, what they do and (in come cases) an idea of their personality. They may or may not grow to play important roles. You are free to create [u]minor[/u] NPCs as the need occurs, and I'll try to add them to the list as you do.

Howard Brown- the portly owner of Newport Butchery. Though he on the upper end of his fifties, he can gut you with his butcher knife fast than you can say jack. Even vampires mind their manners around him.

Mike, Janet, Henry, Josephine and Troy Dale- the family of Mike's Buffet. Janet is Mike's wife and the rest are their children. Henry runs the bar, Troy the kitchen and Josephine is one of the waitresses.

Doc Turner- The human that heads Paws. Kindhearted but very firm, he has some skills in the medical magic arts as well as in casting wards and bindings.

Garret- A shady figure that acts as the councils representative in the city. No one knows what he is, but he is always changing his look and personality.

Keith Matthews- Local police detective that is aware of the supernatural community and covers for minor offenses that are related, though he does not particularly like it. Frequently stops by both Stained Pages and After Dark; Tyler and James being contacts for him. If he suspects something, he generally gives them a call.

Susan Wells- a shy 19 year old that has a crush on Jason. She works in a hair salon near Stained Pages, but is unaware of the supernatural communities.

Andrew Bryson- one of the news reporters in the city. Recently ran a scathing story on both After Dark and the Moon chain of bars. It is believed he has suspicions about the supernatural community and is under watch so he does not foil the attempt to come out carefully.

Lenard Anderson- one of the city health inspectors. For some reason, he always gets assigned to Stained Pages and to After Dark. Frequently notes to abundance of blood and animal hair at the two locations. He is strict and unbending and seems to have a grudge against the two establishments.

Dalia Paiton- the city mayor. His assistant is part fae, but he himself is unaware of the more magical residents of his town.

Kyle Morrison- a regular member of Tyler's Fantasy Club and has great interest in the supernatural. He is only 15 and is a bit geeky.

Nordia Carr- a random character that I don't a job/purpose for yet

Jane Fredric- lawyer, one of the best in town too. Takes her job seriously and is a bit of an arrogant know-it-all *****

Rhonda Law- a high school teacher who volunteers at Sanguine Misson

Walter Rice- another currently purposeless character

Clark Nazima- Japanese-American doctor at the hospital

Evangeline McDowell- an insanely powerful day-walking vampire that recently moved to the city. She is known for moving from place to place so now one knows what she is planning. Makes her living as fashion designer. Looks somewhere between 10 or 12, but makes up for it with illusions and spells when the need demands it. A godly puppet master, she is said even have four or five puppets with souls.

Richard Crowley- Not much is known about this man. A vampire who is supposed to be a part of the council, but has recently faced suspicions following his associations with a member of the blood hounds.

Esther Collins- A bloodhound member. That's all that's really known about her. She is said to be a bit insane and rumors have it that she birthed a half-breed. Has a bounty on her head and was recently sighted in Newport.

Bernice May- a seductive little eight tail fox with some magic power to her name. She works in a clothing store and convinces men to let her spend the nigh with them.

[spoiler=Accepted]
[spoiler=GreyCat(me): Tyler Garret-Wolfe/Natural Werewolf][b]Name:[/b] Tyler Garret-Wolfe
[b]Age: [/b] 25
[b]Species/Race:[/b] Natural Werewolf
[b]Job:[/b] Bookstore/Coffee shop owner
[b]Appearance:[/b] Due to being a werewolf, he looks around 20. He is around 6'1 and has a firm build. His hair is brown and cut casually with a few stray locks here and there. His eyes are light brown. He still has a baby face and doesn't have any facial hair. He has an aura of likability around him that draws his customers. He is laid back and seems to be the slacker and always dresses casually. He often has a book with him. His wolf form has silvery fur that darkens at his muzzle, feet and the tip of his tail. He weighs upwards of two hundred pounds and is about four feet at the shoulder. Give or take.

[b]Personality:[/b] Friendly but firm. He is a bit lazy but enjoys having company. He is easy to talk to and serves as a shoulder to cry one in time of need. He likes to help people, but is mean with money and does not like loans. He isn't afraid to speak hi mind and is something of a white knight and will not stand for cruelty to women. He is a strong supporter of the belief that men should not strike women. Even if they are wolfs.

[b]Biography:[/b] Tyler's father was human though his mother was a werewolf. He is her biological son as she kept her beast form for the duration of the pregnancy, but as a result she lost touch with her human side and cannot chance back. She lives on the preserve and Tyler visits her often. He took her name in her honor. His father is old, near 70 and lives in a retirement home. He does not want to try the change as he believes he would not survive it. As such, Tyler knows he will outlive his father by a large margin, but does not want to risk the change, lest his fathers weak will leads to failure.

Tyler took over the store after high school and has been working there since. He is open to giving new weres a temporary job to help them get there bearings. Because of his friendly nature, he is one of the weres the High Alpha plans to reveal to the public. He supports the decision to come out to the world and even hosts a fantasy club in his store on Thursdays. Despite his young age, he has a pretty high standing in the supernatural community and is often given jobs by the Council as well as the Alphas.

[b]Magics/equipment:[/b] simple disinterest charm, baffle charm and silence charm.

[spoiler=Spartan: Jason Clawborne/Werewolf][b]Name:[/b] Jason Clawborne
[b]Age: [/b] 24
[b]Species/Race:[/b] Dominant Werewolf
[b]Job:[/b] Bookstore/Coffee Shop Employee
[spoiler=[b]Human Appearance:[/b]]As a human, Jason is tall and lanky (6'3"), though very muscular. He has dark black hair which appears to be a dark navy blue, which runs straight down his back and ends around chest level. He has dark emerald green eyes, and his face is covered in unkempt facial hair, which does little more than darken his face around his chin and jaw. The top half of his right ear is missing. He wears dark jeans with black casual/dress shoes, a white long-sleeved button-up shirt with the top two buttons undone, and a black trench coat, which he usually wears as a cape, hung over his shoulders.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=[b]Werewolf Appearance:[/b]]As a werewolf, Jason is as large as they come. He is massively large for a werewolf, standing about five feet tall at the shoulder. His fur is light gray, except for a black stripe that runs from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail. His ear tips and paw tips are deep black. His right ear tip is ragged about halfway to the top, the top half having been torn off in a fight. Various scars cover his body, though most are too small to be noticed, or hidden under fur. All are from his various battles with others.[/spoiler]
[b]Personality:[/b] Jason is predominantly kind, caring, and compassionate. He acts from his heart, listens to his instincts, and usually ends up worse for the wear. He always sides on the side of good, even when it is hazy and difficult to see. He has a short temper, which can explode at the slightest provocation. He has recently been able to control it better, though barely. Uncaring of the consequences, Jason does whatever is in his power to help those around him, always caring for himself last; his scars are proof of his ignorance of his own life.
[b]Biography:[/b] As rare as it is, Jason's parents were both werewolves. He was raised in the forest, far away from humans, so as to protect him better from the hate that came from being different, and knowing he couldn't reveal the truth. When he was young, only six years old, both his parents died; Jason never found out how. One night, his parents both went hunting, leaving Jason to fend for himself. An hour into the hunt, Jason heard a terrible howling noise. Frightened, he began running away from the sound; soon, however, he became lost. He wandered for two days before coming upon the bodies of his parents, now rotting and cold. Jason, currently in his beast form, crouched beside them, and howled his pain and grief. While he was howling, something snuck up on him. Before he knew what happened, he was attacked. He tried to defend himself, but being six, was horribly unable to. He was left for dead, ravaged and with half and ear torn off, until he slowly recovered. He raised himself alone for ten years, until he finally decided he would try to move into the town. He wandered the streets alone for another six years, trying to fit in with what he had never been around before. He soon found a friend in a coffee shop/bookstore owner (Tyler), and soon got a job there. One day, Jason had stayed to work late, and as he went to leave, he noticed that the moon had risen...and was full. He cried out and began to change against his will. He cried out, but was unable to resist. He ravaged the town, thought thanks to his personality, did not hurt any humans. The next day, he felt he could trust Tyler, and revealed his secret. He was relieved when Tyler revealed that he, too, was a werewolf.

[spoiler=Spartan: Aaron Leighton/Shapeshifter][b]Name:[/b] Aaron Leighton
[b]Age: [/b] 18
[b]Species/Race:[/b] Shapeshifter: Red Fox
[b]Job:[/b] Veterinarian at Paws Veterinary
[spoiler=[b]Human Appearance:[/b]][img]http://quizilla.teennick.com/user_images/X/XX/XXX/XXXDEATHSBABYXXX/1227740329_7756_full.jpeg[/img][/spoiler]
[spoiler=[b]Shifted Appearance[/b]][img]http://naturescrusaders.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/red_fox-ca-sv_lg.jpg[/img][/spoiler]
[b]Personality:[/b] Aaron strikes most as innocent and helpless. He is shy and quiet, and often speaks with a stutter. He cares fiercely about friends, and has a deep love of animals and the natural world. He often goes out of his way to help the animals around him, generally at his own expense. He appears to be calm and collected (and most of the time he is), but he has a temper which can explode like a bomb, usually at the slightest provocation or cruelty to animals. Though he is shy, Aaron is no coward, and in fact loves starting things (especially things about animals). He thinks of himself as human, even though he knows he is anything but human, and does his best to fit in.
[b]Biography:[/b] Aaron never met his parents, and has no idea who they are or could be. He was born in the middle of the forest, and subsequently abandoned. He immediately shifted, instinctively, and began living his life as a fox. He grew up as an animal, hunting birds and other small animals for food. He never gave any thought that when he was ten, he should be fully grown, but was still the size of a child fox. At the age of twelve, Aaron moved into the nearby town, Newport. He blended in, and began to live a new life as a human. He was pitied by many, and many called him a "poor child." This only made him mad, and he soon left and went back into the forest, which he had adopted as his home. After a couple of years' deliberation, Aaron decided to try and make another living as a human, but he would take advantage of his shapeshifting. He now works as a veterinarian at Paws Veterinary, and when night comes, he simply shifts to fox-form, and sleeps in one of the empty kennels.
[b]Magics/equipment:[/b] None
[b]Talent/Abilities:[/b] Enhanced senses as human due to species; excellent tracker and good marathon runner.

Biography: James has been around for just over 1200 years and was turned on his 19th birthday. He came from a family of Black Witches but didn't show any sign of magic until his 17th birthday, when he drove a kid who was hitting and bullying his younger sister insane by making him think that his nightmares had come to life. Because of that he was taught magic until a pack of werewolves killed his family and village. Afterwards he searched for the pack and found some vampires searching as well, who he joined forces with out of his hatred of the werewolves. A couple of nights before they were due to attack, one of the young vampires turned him to try to give him more power, that was the night of his 19th birthday, and when he woke up a vampire, the camp had been ravanged by a suprise attack by the werewolves and he was the onlly survivor again. Since then he wandered the world for the next 1000 years, learing shadow spells thanks to being a turned Witch (actually Warlock) and used his magic to create a necklace that would use the shadows to shield him from the sun, thus allowing him to walk in the sunlight, before settling in the town and starting the After Dark club as a bar for vampires originally. Hbroader became an important member of the town the next 100 years and has since been a strong voice towards revealing themselves to mankind.

[spoiler=Otaku-Sama: Sven 'Darkkar' Magnusson/Human][b]Name:[/b] Dr. Sven 'Drakkar' Magnusson, M.D.

[b]Age: [/b] 42

[b]Species/Race:[/b] 1/50 vampire, 1/50 werewolf, 48/50 human

[b]Job:[/b] Chaplain, Head of the Sanguine Mission, daemon slayer

[b]Appearance:[/b] 6' 8", heavy build, pale skin. His hazel eyes are small and easily obscured by his high cheekbones and deep eye sockets. He has an impressive beard that covers his upper lip and jaw line. The hair on his head is short and well kept. His daily wear consist of simple black chaplain robes with a cross in white that stretches shoulder to shoulder and from the neckline to the feet. His daemon slayer wear is much more elaborate. He wears light leather armour in the form of a leather cuirass, leather gauntlets and leather boots, with a thick overcoat on top. His overcoat is specially made, sanctified by the Pope to ward off dark magic and has Kevlar and carbon fibre woven into the fabric, making it incredibly durable. It is fireproof, bulletproof and able to resist all but the most powerful dark magic.

[b]Personality:[/b] Most people would initially think that Sven is a very authoritarian man, and to a degree, he is quite authoritarian. His very presence makes people want to follow him. However, he is very benevolent and merciful, even in combat. As a doctor, he will never kill anyone and will only take the necessary action to stop a beast. However, this altruistic attitude only applies to humans. He has much less mercy for the supernatural. He has a dignified hate of the supernatural, as he associates most of it with Satan. However, he still offers refuge and forgiveness to any sentient supernatural creature if they genuinely seek forgiveness from God.

[b]Biography:[/b] Born in Reykjavik, Iceland, Sven was born a weak child. At age three, he fell ill with pneumonia and was brought to the brink of death. However, when his family converted to Catholicism and prayed for mercy for their son, Sven slowly started to recover. He grew stronger each day until he was completely cured. This started his intense faith in God. In school, he showed great prowess and skill in biology and anatomy. Combined with his love for others, he was inspired to become a doctor. He studied abroad at Berlin for medicine and Rome for theology, earning his medical license and a PH.D in theology and named a chaplain by the Pope himself. After, he became a Italian citizen and served his mandatory military service as a battlefield medic, where he distinguished himself as an outstanding medic, saving the lives of no fewer than fifty men. During his service, he was attacked by both vampires and werewolves, with only minor injuries. This resulted in a strange state of being human with slight vampiristic and lycanthropic tendencies. After his service, the Church caught wind of his bravery as a soldier, as well as he attacks by the supernatural, and offered him training as an exorcist and daemon slayer for the Church. Apprehensive at first, he accepted hoping that he would be able cure the innocent of lycanthropy and vampirism. After his training was complete, he was sent to a particular town (town of the plot) where the supernatural were particularly widespread. There, he started the Sanguine Mission, an open hospice for the sick and dying who cannot pay to get into a proper hospital and secretly a place where the unwilling vampires and lycanthropes can come to help control their new monstrous instincts.

[b]Magics/equipment:[/b] One .356 calibre Colt Python Revolver with sanctified rounds coated with a solution of silver nitrate, vials of holy water, a large crucifix wrought of silver and a one handed blade with a blade the length of Sven's arm, silver plated, coated in holy water and with passages from the New Testament inscribed on the handle in Latin.

[b]Talent/Abilities:[/b] Combat training (from military and special Vatican training) and knowledge of medicine, both modern and traditional.

[b]Age: [/b] Around 5,000
[b]Species/Race:[/b] Ascended
[b]Job:[/b] Bounty Hunter

[b]Personality:[/b] Cross is rather quiet, rarely speaking unless he thinks it is important. After living for a long time he has seen many things, and this has gifted him with great wisdom, meaning when he speaks of something it is typically a good thing to listen to what he has to say. At all times he stays calm, even during a fight with someone who could possibly kill him, only one thing will break his calm and that is the mention of his sister which pains him to think of. His only problem is that he can be hot headed at times going off and doing what he wants regardless of his orders or personal beliefs. He has a strong disliking for vampires due to his history with them. (Bio will explain.)
[b]Biography:[/b] Cross has lived a very long life, being born in the fabled city of Atlantis, he was raised by the ruler of the city and often spent his time with his sister Sara who he always looked up to, however his life as royalty was short spent due to a clan of vampires killing his entire family and torturing his sister until she turned right in front of his eyes, grief stricken and angry he killed his sister to save her from the pain she would have to endure for eternity. Many of his years are unknown as he went into hiding at the age of 21, only returning in the year 2001 in which he somehow retained his youthful appearence and physical abilities. He is thought to have been training, honing his skills over the centuries, becoming one of the strongest beings to ever walk the planet. He openly claims that he is the last of two races Atlantians and a species who were thought of in legends known as Ascended. Now all he does is wander the lands, until the day that he happened to come across some information that the vampires who had turned his sister where in a town ((Obviously the town of the rp.)) and he set off to find and eliminate them once and for all
[b]Magics/equipment:[/b] Cross's equipment include a gigantic cleaver like weapon which changes shape at his will, a Daito style katana with a cresent moon shaped guard, two .700 Smith and Wesson Magnum Revolvers, and a tuning fork shaped blade which has a hidden ability which he has not yet learned to harness.

[b]Job:[/b] Bartender for the Half Moon bar.
[b]Appearance:[/b] Cain is about 6’2 and unlike some of his Warlock and Witch counterparts, he has class. He often wears a black vest befitting a bartender with a pinstripe theme; he sports a white dress shirt under it and a blood red tie. Completing his look he also wears plain but serviceable black work pants and black dress shoes. On some occasions he’ll wear a black jacket, which can make him look like he’s wearing a full suit.
He has somewhat short dark brown hair that he occasionally will slick back, given the context of his situation. Attached to his pocket is a chrome pocket watch, which he uses to tell time and look awesome. (and also potentially scare drunk weres.)

[b]Personality:[/b] Cain is a reserved person, for the most part. He mostly just listens to others and gives calm, if sometimes sarcastic advice. After all, he is a bartender. That however, is his personality he’s deemed ‘safe for humans and creatures alike’. His other, arguably true personality is manipulative, backstabbing, evil, and arguably insane. No one has gotten close enough to him to ever ‘meet’ this Cain, and he doubts anyone ever will.

[b]Biography:[/b] Cain Bernard was born to a rich, French family. His father was a lawyer and his mother a doctor, he was the 2nd child in the family and the first boy, so he had a big say in family matters. While growing up he didn’t know his parents were magic users, in fact the whole concept of magic seemed awfully silly to him. But alas, his parents showed him and his siblings magic when he was 12, and he actually learned how it worked when he was 16… Warlocks and witches indeed have a choice, between white or black. His family was primarily composed of white. Even his older sister became a white witch. He on the other hand, had much darker ambitions. On his 16 birthday he took his first step; he made his brother chili, ‘helped’ his younger sister with her ambitions of flying, and made sure his older sister took her bath. Amidst the tears and anger of his parents, he answered the question they had asked this morning “white or black?”. His parents attempted to strike him down, but they did not succeed. Using his siblings’ spirits, he summoned an unspeakable terror onto the world. Which promptly devoured their souls and physical bodies. Cain however, was not stupid either, and canceled the summoning ritual right before it was properly completed, giving the demon time to devour his parents but not enough time to step onto the world. With that, he left his family’s mansion and severed any remaining ties with any relatives. He moved to Newport on a whim, news of supernatural creatures existing there intrigued him.
[b]Magics/equipment:[/b] Cain’s specialty in magic lies in the Void. Unlike some Warlocks who summon creatures from hell and all their other demonic spells, Cain’s magic is much more complicated than that. Void magic allows him to summon demons and cast his spells for free, well, free at the beginning. For every spell he casts/demon he summons he must inflict chaos or destruction upon something to please the Void. If he does not, his own magic turns on him. It can be simply crushing an anthill, or if summoning a demon, presenting it a sacrifice. This allows him to perform much more ‘on the go’ casting; only having to worry about the cost after. Void magic varies, but generally involves replacing, moving, consuming, or replicating something. He can move a gun from someone’s hand into his own, or even replicate a copy of it. He can replace the air below his feet with ground, allowing him to effectively walk through air. Voidborn, the ‘demons’ he summons, typically simply want food. They are hungry creatures and without blood they may simply fade back into the Void.
[b]Talent/Abilities:[/b] A good talker, can ‘blend in’ with groups. (in terms of personality.)

[spoiler=Pinkie Pie (Formerly Nexev): Roscuro Domo/Human Mage (Aspect Avatar)][b]Name:[/b] Roscuro Domo
[b]Age: [/b] 32
[b]Species/Race:[/b] Human Mage
[b]Job:[/b] Fry cook at a nearby burger joint.
[b]Appearance:[/b] Tall enough and lanky. Roscuro is very pale. And he is a guy. These are the only things about Roscuro that are ALWAYS constant. Because of Roscuro's magic, the rest of him gradually shapeshifts to match his 'mood'. *This is a side effect of the magic and due to his magical clothes* when Roscuro is happy his hair is white with purple highlights and is very curly, making a sort of small afro. His clothes are brightly colored, neon green pants with orange straps and a rainbow striped long sleeve shirt. Kinda looks like a clown without the makeup.

When Roscuro is moody however his hair grows long black and straight. His outfit becomes all black with many zippers on his leather pants, and he wears a black t-shirt with a leather jacket over it. Emblazoned on the back of the shirt is the words F-U in bright red. His nails are painted black in this form.
[b]Personality:[/b] Roscuro has an extremely swaying mood paternity could be considered DID except both personalities are him. His "happy" personality is extremely optimistic and cheerful, loving stuffed animals, rainbows, and pretty much acts like a little girl. He also is a little... creepy, seeming to find corpses and knives just as adorable and cuddly as his rainbows among other things.

When Roscuro is upset however he gets REALLY depressed, spending a good deal of time brooding and angsting about how sad life is. He spends allot of time in this state just complaining. He is also incredibly sarcastic, the only thing he won't be sarcastic about is complaining.
[b]Biography:[/b] There are many things that run the world, nature, progress, emotions, cheese, yatta yatta blah blah. Each of these aspects have an avatar, avatars aren't the chosen one or anything, they just have a knack for the specific thing they aspect and have a penchant for mental insanity. Most people can't handle their aspect enough to become a powerful enough avatar to really matter.

Roscuro is the avatar of emotion, been one since birth. This resulted in his mastery of emotional magic, which is less of mastery then him just having it. He's been committed for a long time due to mental insanity from unstable emotions, he managed to escape thanks to a vampire attack on the asylum, and he managed to walk out of the building thanks to his magic messing up the vampires will to attack him. He is technically on the run but seems to have forgotten about that. It's either a miracle that the government hasn't captured him yet, or the government just wants to pretend he is not there.
[b]Magics/equipment:[/b] Emotional Magic. Roscuro's spells focus on emotions, especially using his for fuel, this is why he goes from sad to happy so quickly, it is a result of using up either his joy or sorrow as fuel. This lets him do stuff like fly and shot beams of energy from his hands.

His energy beams can either placate people *when depressed* or make people depressed *when happy* each use of the power causes him to gradually shift into his other form. His beams can be charged up higher for more emotional impact but will cause him to switch faster (plus if Roscuro mood changes he usually has a different enough personality that he stops wanting to fight).

Happy him also flies on rainbows. Depressed him just flies.

Has dark brown fur with a silver patch on his face. Whatever clothes hes wearing at the time either stretch or tear from his growth. Still wears both of his parents' heirlooms.[/spoiler]
[b]Personality:[/b] Normally laid back, but has a slightly bestial side to him that prevents him from acquainting himself with normal humans. Inherited his parents' pride of race and is himself proud of being a werewolf and a vampire. Will anger easily with matters relating to family or about his parents. Around others, he puts up a front of being fearless, even when facing complete terror. After transforming, is usually in control of himself, but will sometimes go into a rage and will attack anything that moves. Controls himself enough so that Dr. Magnusson won't catch on to the fact that he is a part of the supernatural world.
[b]Biography:[/b] Born to a werewolf mother and vampire father, Leon was never really able to gain acceptance with normal people, save Kyle Morrison who Leon thinks knows about his lineage, and the human volunteers at Sanguine Mission. His father was a member of the Council and his mother a part of the Bloodhounds, he was torn between them, not sure which parent to follow, eventually he ran away and found a place in Sanguine Mission, where he was allowed to stay, in exchange for working there. He later got a job at Mike's to make money. Lost all traces of his parents after running away and all he has to remember them are the two heirlooms they gave him as a child.

[b]Name:[/b] Jason Clawborne
[b]Age: [/b] 24
[b]Species/Race:[/b] Dominant Werewolf
[b]Job:[/b] Bookstore/Coffee Shop Employee
[spoiler=[b]Human Appearance:[/b]]As a human, Jason is tall and lanky (6'3"), though very muscular. He has dark black hair which appears to be a dark navy blue, which runs straight down his back and ends around chest level. He has dark emerald green eyes, and his face is covered in unkempt facial hair, which does little more than darken his face around his chin and jaw. The top half of his right ear is missing. He wears dark jeans with black casual/dress shoes, a white long-sleeved button-up shirt with the top two buttons undone, and a black trench coat, which he usually wears as a cape, hung over his shoulders.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=[b]Werewolf Appearance:[/b]]As a werewolf, Jason is as large as they come. He is massively large for a werewolf, standing about five feet tall at the shoulder. His fur is light gray, except for a black stripe that runs from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail. His ear tips and paw tips are deep black. His right ear tip is ragged about halfway to the top, the top half having been torn off in a fight. Various scars cover his body, though most are too small to be noticed, or hidden under fur. All are from his various battles with others.[/spoiler]
[b]Personality:[/b] Jason is predominantly kind, caring, and compassionate. He acts from his heart, listens to his instincts, and usually ends up worse for the wear. He always sides on the side of good, even when it is hazy and difficult to see. He has a short temper, which can explode at the slightest provocation. He has recently been able to control it better, though barely. Uncaring of the consequences, Jason does whatever is in his power to help those around him, always caring for himself last; his scars are proof of his ignorance of his own life.
[b]Biography:[/b] As rare as it is, Jason's parents were both werewolves. He was raised in the forest, far away from humans, so as to protect him better from the hate that came from being different, and knowing he couldn't reveal the truth. When he was young, only six years old, both his parents died; Jason never found out how. One night, his parents both went hunting, leaving Jason to fend for himself. An hour into the hunt, Jason heard a terrible howling noise. Frightened, he began running away from the sound; soon, however, he became lost. He wandered for two days before coming upon the bodies of his parents, now rotting and cold. Jason, currently in his beast form, crouched beside them, and howled his pain and grief. While he was howling, something snuck up on him. Before he knew what happened, he was attacked. He tried to defend himself, but being six, was horribly unable to. He was left for dead, ravaged and with half an ear torn off, until he slowly recovered. He raised himself alone for ten years, until he finally decided he would try to move into the town. He wandered the streets alone for another six years, trying to fit in with what he had never been around before. He soon found a friend in a coffee shop/bookstore owner (Tyler), and soon got a job there. One day, Jason had stayed to work late, and as he went to leave, he noticed that the moon had risen...and was full. He cried out and began to change against his will. He cried out, but was unable to resist. He ravaged the town, thought thanks to his personality, did not hurt any humans. The next day, he felt he could trust Tyler, and revealed his secret. He was relieved when Tyler revealed that he, too, was a werewolf.
[b]Magics/equipment:[/b] A powerful silencing spell, and a strong darkness spell

[b]Name:[/b] Bernice May

[b]Age: [/b] 20

[b]Species/Race:[/b] [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huli_jing]Huli jing[/url]

[b]Job:[/b] Part time shopkeeper

[b]Appearance:[/b] In human form, Bernice is 5'10" and has waist-length wavy chestnut hair, and azure eyes. She has a slim yet healthy figure, and is often regarded as a bit of a mini fashionista. She doesn't really have set clothes, as she keeps inventing new looks with the same clothes, but she definately likes to wear skinny jeans and dress shirts, and a pair of heels.

In huli jing form, Bernice looks like a murky arctic fox, but she has eight tails. Her claws are slightly longer than a real fox's claws, and her fangs are sharper. Her eyes are a ferruginous colour, and the insides of her ears and nose are pitch black. Her body measures roughly 75cm, and each of her tails are 32cm. If one looks closely, each of her tails are slightly tinged with a different colour, and they are symbolic as they represent each of her magical powers.

[b]Personality:[/b] Bernice may seem friendly and willing to help, but in her heart, she is incredibly vain and conceited. She is naturally sharp, and she knows how to act in order to try and get what she wants, hence why she appears to be popular, but in reality, she doesn't really want many friends. She likes to manipulate emotions, although this comes as a result of her unstable and jealous nature; she is actually afraid of falling in love with an unfaithful man, and by pushing people over the edge, she finds safety as she can be the dominant one.

[b]Biography:[/b] Bernice is the daughter of a huli jing who had managed to seduce a wizard, and as a result, she has a mixed heritage. This crossover was also somewhat unstable, as Bernice has inibbed a bit of wizarding qualities to her, yet she knows she cannot train as a wizard but has to follow her mother and learn how to be a proper huli jing. Bernice learnt from her parents about the huli jing ways and how to cast spells, and this affected her education; as a result, when Bernice was 16, she dropped out of school with very poor qualifications. She didn't care though, for she was confident that she could climb her way through this world. However, she quickly realised that in reality, it wasn't going to happen, not with all the chaos going around.

What was worse, her parents had had an argument and divorced; her mother naturally aligned herself with the werewolves, while they never knew what happened to her father afterwards. Bernice could barely begin to conceive what her mother was trying to do with the werewolves, and she simply stopped going home when she was 18, as she couldn't bear to face her mother anymore. Since then, she has been living rough, although with her charm, she has been able to make men willingly let her stay at their places (and no, she didn't have to use her body to achieve her goal). As of now, Bernice has yet to find a place of her own.

[b]Magics/equipment:[/b] She can use her tails for wind, earth, fire, water, electricity, light, darkness and poison; however, due to the lack of proper training, Bernice can't really do much with each, and always has to combine in order to make something that would remotely stand in battle; e.g. if she uses just wind to try and knock someone over, the best she can do is make them stumble.

[b]Talent/Abilities:[/b] Seduction (within reason, of course; she wouldn't stoop as low as stripping off)

[GreyCat]

Accepted Quaintrelle

[Spartan919]

Thinking I might submit a second character. Not sure what it would be, though. I don't want another werewolf, and I would like to RP an original mythological being. Though, like I said...not sure what it would be (or if I really even want a second character).

[GreyCat]

I want maybe or two more people (and Simdoggy) before we start.

[Spartan919]

Could a shape shifter count as a race?

[GreyCat]

Sure.

[Reinforce]

Name: James Malloy
Age: 19 / just over 1200 years old
Species/Race: Vampire
Job: Manager and Bartender at the After Dark Club
Appearance: Pale with green eyes and short black hair, he wears jeans and a t-shirt whenever possible and a suit when going to a formal event. He wears black whenever Barkeeping at the After Dark Club
Personality: James has a strong and dominant personality. He is very opinionated and enjoys arguing. He doesn't kill when he drinks people's blood but won't hesitate to kill anyone if they threaten him, the Council or the After Dark Club. His personality has calmed down over the millenium of his existence but he still has a very charismatic and opinionated personality.
Biography: James has been around for just over 1200 years and was turned on his 19th birthday. He came from a family of Black Witches but didn't show any sign of magic until his 17th birthday, when he drove a kid who was hitting and bullying his younger sister insane by making him think that his nightmares had come to life. Because of that he was taught magic until a pack of werewolves killed his family and village. Afterwards he searched for the pack and found some vampires searching as well, who he joined forces with out of his hatred of the werewolves. A couple of nights before they were due to attack, one of the young vampires turned him to try to give him more power, that was the night of his 19th birthday, and when he woke up a vampire, the camp had been ravanged by a suprise attack by the werewolves and he was the onlly survivor again. Since then he wandered the world for the next 1000 years, learing shadow spells thanks to being a turned Witch (actually Warlock) and used his magic to create a necklace that would use the shadows to shield him from the sun, thus allowing him to walk in the sunlight, before settling in the town and starting the After Dark club as a bar for vampires originally. Hbroader became an important member of the town the next 100 years and has since been a strong voice towards revealing themselves to mankind.
Magics/equipment: Shadow Spells, Mesmerisation, his Shadow Necklace that lets him walk in the sun, and a pair of hidden chain whips.
Talent/Abilities: very hard to kill, very fast and strong and with powerful sight and hearing.

Name: Rajin Kurai
Age: unknown
Species/Race: Djinn/Djinni
Job: Fortune-Teller, and black market dealer who can get anything anyone wants
Appearance: Raijin currently has tanned european skin, orange hair and Hazel eyes. He wears a black suit and always carries around a cane.
Personality: Rajin is calm and patient and rarely gets angry, if he does get angry he really goes psycho and the last time it happened was what caused the 1966 Great Fire of London.
Biography: The Djinn have been around since the beginning of time, never ageing and most getting bored of the world and leaving it. Raijin is one of the few that stayed and was one of the starting members of the Council and has remained on it since. He moved around over the years, always changing his look to suit the current area, and two of the best known events he caused were the 1966 Great Fire of London and the much earlier construction of the mythical Hanging Gardens of Babylonia, which he was in charge of the construction and hiding of. Nowdays, the Hanging Gardens have become his refuge for a few days here and there when he needed to get away from the world.
Magics/equipment: Rajin, like most Djinn, is a master of most magics.
Talent/Abilities: Rajin can also teleport, change his look and is immortal like the other Djinn. Djinn are possible to kill but only while they are in water because water dampens their powers.

[GreyCat]

Rajin is acceptable, but I'm asking you change from a council member to either an important local figure (possibly one of the top vampires in town), a high ranked council official (though not an actual member) or just an important proxy in the communities for three reasons. One: The council members rarely bother with mundane things and most no one actually knows if they still really exist, two: the council already have the Moon chain of bars running and three: they have a self imposed rule against actually acting, working through proxies instead (like Tyler)

[spoiler=Drakkar][b]Name:[/b] Dr. Sven 'Drakkar' Magnusson, M.D.

[b]Age: [/b] 42

[b]Species/Race:[/b] 1/50 vampire, 1/50 werewolf, 48/50 human

[b]Job:[/b] Chaplain, Head of the Sanguine Mission, daemon slayer

[b]Appearance:[/b] 6' 8", heavy build, pale skin. His hazel eyes are small and easily obscured by his high cheekbones and deep eye sockets. He has an impressive beard that covers his upper lip and jaw line. The hair on his head is short and well kept. His daily wear consist of simple black chaplain robes with a cross in white that stretches shoulder to shoulder and from the neckline to the feet. His daemon slayer wear is much more elaborate. He wears light leather armour in the form of a leather cuirass, leather gauntlets and leather boots, with a thick overcoat on top. His overcoat is specially made, sanctified by the Pope to ward off dark magic and has Kevlar and carbon fibre woven into the fabric, making it incredibly durable. It is fireproof, bulletproof and able to resist all but the most powerful dark magic. 

[b]Personality:[/b] Most people would initially think that Sven is a very authoritarian man, and to a degree, he is quite authoritarian. His very presence makes people want to follow him. However, he is very benevolent and merciful, even in combat. As a doctor, he will never kill anyone and will only take the necessary action to stop a beast. However, this altruistic attitude only applies to humans. He has much less mercy for  the supernatural. He has a dignified hate of the supernatural, as he associates most of it with Satan. However, he still offers refuge and forgiveness to any sentient supernatural creature if they genuinely seek forgiveness from God.

[b]Biography:[/b] Born in Reykjavik, Iceland, Sven was born a weak child. At age three, he fell ill with pneumonia and was brought to the brink of death. However, when his family converted to Catholicism and prayed for mercy for their son, Sven slowly started to recover. He grew stronger each day until he was completely cured. This started his intense faith in God. In school, he showed great prowess and skill in biology and anatomy. Combined with his love for others, he was inspired to become a doctor. He studied abroad at Berlin for medicine and Rome for theology, earning his medical license and a PH.D in theology and named a chaplain  by the Pope himself. After, he became a Italian citizen and served his mandatory military service as a battlefield medic, where he distinguished himself as an outstanding medic, saving the lives of no fewer than fifty men. During his service, he was attacked by both vampires and werewolves, with only minor injuries. This resulted in a strange state of being human with slight vampiristic and lycanthropic tendencies. After his service, the Church caught wind of his bravery as a soldier, as well as he attacks by the supernatural, and offered him training as an exorcist and daemon slayer for the Church. Apprehensive at first, he accepted hoping that he would be able cure the innocent of lycanthropy and vampirism. After his training was complete, he was sent to a particular town (town of the plot) where the supernatural were particularly widespread. There, he started the Sanguine Mission, an open hospice for the sick and dying who cannot pay to get into a proper hospital and secretly a place where the unwilling vampires and lycanthropes can come to help control their new monstrous instincts.

[b]Magics/equipment:[/b] One .356 calibre Colt Python Revolver with sanctified rounds coated with a solution of silver nitrate, vials of holy water, a large crucifix wrought of silver and a one handed blade with a blade the length of Sven's arm, silver plated, coated in holy water and with passages from the New Testament inscribed on the handle in Latin.

[b]Talent/Abilities:[/b] Combat training (from military and special Vatican training) and knowledge of medicine, both modern and traditional.

[b]Personality:[/b] Cross is rather quiet, rarely speaking unless he thinks it is important. After living for a long time he has seen many things, and this has gifted him with great wisdom, meaning when he speaks of something it is typically a good thing to listen to what he has to say. At all times he stays calm, even during a fight with someone who could possibly kill him, only one thing will break his calm and that is the mention of his sister which pains him to think of. His only problem is that he can be hot headed at times going off and doing what he wants regardless of his orders or personal beliefs. He has a strong disliking for vampires due to his history with them. (Bio will explain.)
[b]Biography:[/b] Cross has lived a very long life, being born in the fabled city of Atlantis, he was raised by the ruler of the city and often spent his time with his sister Sara who he always looked up to, however his life as royalty was short spent due to a clan of vampires killing his entire family and torturing his sister until she turned right in front of his eyes, grief stricken and angry he killed his sister to save her from the pain she would have to endure for eternity. Many of his years are unknown as he went into hiding at the age of 21, only returning in the year 2001 in which he somehow retained his youthful appearence and physical abilities. He is thought to have been training, honing his skills over the centuries, becoming one of the strongest beings to ever walk the planet. He openly claims that he is the last of two races Atlantians and a speices who were thought of in legends known as Ascended. Now all he does is wander the lands, until the day that he happened to come across some information that the vampires who had turned his sister where in a town ((Obviously the town of the rp.)) and he set off to find and eliminate them once and for all
[b]Magics/equipment:[/b] Cross's equipment include a gigantic cleaver like weapon which changes shape at his will, a Daito style katana with a cresent moon shaped guard, two .700 Smith and Wesson Magnum Revolvers, and a tuning fork shaped blade which has a hidden ability which he has not yet learned to harness.
[b]Talent/Abilities:[/b] Electrokenisis, Cryokenisis, Able to lift up to 3 tons, Move at speeds barely visible to the human eye if not at all, enhanced senses, control over darkness, increadible healing factor, being able to heal almost fatal wounds withing minutes.

In other news, despite by apparent lie about getting the IC done yesterday or the night before (I fell asleep and my net went all bonky) the [url=http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/241852-after-dark/]IC is done![/url]

[spoiler=NPCs and other stuff]This RP takes place in a port city I have named (after much deliberation) Newport. As such, I realize all our characters may or may not interact, so this is a list of current pre-created NPCs, what they do and (in come cases) an idea of their personality. They may or may not grow to play important roles. You are free to create [u]minor[/u] NPCs as the need occurs, and I'll try to add them to the list as you do.

Howard Brown- the portly owner of Newport Butchery. Though he on the upper end of his fifties, he can gut you with his butcher knife fast than you can say jack. Even vampires mind their manners around him.

Mike, Janet, Henry, Josephine and Troy Dale- the family of Mike's Buffet. Janet is Mike's wife and the rest are their children. Henry runs the bar, Troy the kitchen and Josephine is one of the waitresses.

Doc Turner- The human that heads Paws. Kindhearted but very firm, he has some skills in the medical magic arts as well as in casting wards and bindings.

Garret- A shady figure that acts as the councils representative in the city. No one knows what he is, but he is always changing his look and personality.

Keith Matthews- Local police detective that is aware of the supernatural community and covers for minor offenses that are related, though he does not particularly like it. Frequently stops by both Stained Pages and After Dark; Tyler and James being contacts for him. If he suspects something, he generally gives them a call.

Susan Wells- a shy 19 year old that has a crush on Jason. She works in a hair salon near Stained Pages, but is unaware of the supernatural communities.

Andrew Bryson- one of the news reporters in the city. Recently ran a scathing story on both After Dark and the Moon chain of bars. It is believed he has suspicions about the supernatural community and is under watch so he does not foil the attempt to come out carefully.

Lenard Anderson- one of the city health inspectors. For some reason, he always gets assigned to Stained Pages and to After Dark. Frequently notes to abundance of blood and animal hair at the two locations. He is strict and unbending and seems to have a grudge against the two establishments.

Dalia Paiton- the city mayor. His assistant is part fae, but he himself is unaware of the more magical residents of his town.

Kyle Morrison- a regular member of Tyler's Fantasy Club and has great interest in the supernatural. He is only 15 and is a bit geeky.

Nordia Carr- a random character that I don't a job/purpose for yet

Jane Fredric- lawyer, one of the best in town too. Takes her job seriously and is a bit of an arrogant know-it-all *****

Rhonda Law- a high school teacher who volunteers at Sanguine Misson

Walter Rice- another currently purposeless character

Clark Nazima- Japanese-American doctor at the hospital

Evangeline McDowell- an insanely powerful day-walking vampire that recently moved to the city. She is known for moving from place to place so now one knows what she is planning. Makes her living as fashion designer. Looks somewhere between 10 or 12, but makes up for it with illusions and spells when the need demands it. A godly puppet master, she is said even have four or five puppets with souls.

Huzzah! A good RP! :33

[spoiler=Cain Bernard]
[b]Name:[/b] Cain Bernard
[b]Age: [/b] 21
[b]Species/Race:[/b] Human Warlock (if some of his spells fit a wizard more, then I can go with that)
[b]Job:[/b] Bartender for the Half Moon bar.
[b]Appearance:[/b] Cain is about 6’2 and unlike some of his Warlock and Witch counterparts, he has class. He often wears a black vest befitting a bartender with a pinstripe theme; he sports a white dress shirt under it and a blood red tie. Completing his look he also wears plain but serviceable black work pants and black dress shoes. On some occasions he’ll wear a black jacket, which can make him look like he’s wearing a full suit.

He has somewhat short dark brown hair that he occasionally will slick back, given the context of his situation. Attached to his pocket is a chrome pocket watch, which he uses to tell time and look awesome. (and also potentially scare drunk weres.)
[b]Personality:[/b] Cain is a reserved person, for the most part. He mostly just listens to others and gives calm, if sometimes sarcastic advice. After all, he is a bartender. That however, is his personality he’s deemed ‘safe for humans and creatures alike’. His other, arguably true personality is manipulative, backstabbing, evil, and arguably insane. No one has gotten close enough to him to ever ‘meet’ this Cain, and he doubts anyone ever will.
[b]Biography:[/b] Cain Bernard was born to a rich, French family. His father was a lawyer and his mother a doctor, he was the 2nd child in the family and the first boy, so he had a big say in family matters. While growing up he didn’t know his parents were magic users, in fact the whole concept of magic seemed awfully silly to him. But alas, his parents showed him and his siblings magic when he was 12, and he actually learned how it worked when he was 16… Warlocks and witches indeed have a choice, between white or black. His family was primarily composed of white. Even his older sister became a white witch. He on the other hand, had much darker ambitions. On his 16 birthday he took his first step; he made his brother chili, ‘helped’ his younger sister with her ambitions of flying, and made sure his older sister took her bath. Amidst the tears and anger of his parents, he answered the question they had asked this morning “white or black?”. His parents attempted to strike him down, but they did not succeed. Using his siblings’ spirits, he summoned an unspeakable terror onto the world. Which promptly devoured their souls and physical bodies. Cain however, was not stupid either, and cancelled the summoning ritual right before it was properly completed, giving the demon time to devour his parents but not enough time to step onto the world. With that, he left his family’s mansion and severed any remaining ties with any relatives. He moved to Newport on a whim, news of supernatural creatures existing there intrigued him.
[b]Magics/equipment:[/b] Cain’s specialty in magic lies in the Void. Unlike some Warlocks who summon creatures from hell and all their other demonic spells, Cain’s magic is much more complicated than that. Void magic allows him to summon demons and cast his spells for free, well, free at the beginning. For every spell he casts/demon he summons he must inflict chaos or destruction upon something to please the Void. If he does not, his own magic turns on him. It can be simply crushing an anthill, or if summoning a demon, presenting it a sacrifice. This allows him to perform much more ‘on the go’ casting; only having to worry about the cost after. Void magic varies, but generally involves replacing, moving, consuming, or replicating something. He can move a gun from someone’s hand into his own, or even replicate a copy of it. He can replace the air below his feet with ground, allowing him to effectively walk through air. Voidborn, the ‘demons’ he summons, typically simply want food. They are hungry creatures and without blood they may simply fade back into the Void.
[b]Talent/Abilities:[/b] A good talker, can ‘blend in’ with groups. (in terms of personality.)
