A secret community of various supernatural creatures living in London is being targeted by a vicious killer or killers. So far three of their number have been killed. As they keep their existence a secret, (for fear of being caged, experimented upon or whatever) the authorities can find nothing linking the crimes. The remaining supernaturals have to put their differences aside and work together to find out who is responsible before more of them are killed, or before one of the investigating agencies finds out what they really are.

I was originally thinking of setting this in modern day London, but if anyone's interested in another time period we could try that. I'm not just talking about vampires and weres for the supernaturals either - selkies, kitsune, dryads; there's no reason why you shouldn't play something more unusual - maybe even just plain old magic-using humans. They just have to be able to pass as human most of the time - at least to a casual glance.

Just a few notes rather than rules

Please don't make super-powered can do everything characters
If you want more than one character, that's fine - you know how many you can handle, but if we need a victim I might ask you to sacrifice one of yours
Usual terms and conditions apply



Any questions? please feel free to ask.

Do we need to include reference pictures or can we just describe our character?

Is it alright if one of your character's close family members has recently been killed by one of the murderers?

@RaeoftheLight I'm happy with either - I know sometimes you can't find the right picture!

@DannyFenton123 That's more than alright, that's good (plot hook, yes!)!

I'll get my CS up tonight or tomorrow. I'll probably be making a werewolf, if anyone wants to know.

@xKarnival@DannyFenton123@Athinar

Your characters are all accepted and can be moved to the character thread whenever you see fit.

@Athinar Just curious - Amam wasn't hanging around with the Iceni in AD 60 was he? No? Just a thought.

@shaitarn I don't think he'd have known Boudica, no. :P Buuuuuut that IS an interesting thought. Probably would've heard of her secondhand.

Here's my character, ahh if you want to talk to me about how you want to handle the demon element, let me know as I believe him to be an excellent way to use the story against me and get me in more trouble.

Reiley Antiquadin



Age:
22
Gender:
(trans)Girl
Species:
Human(summoner-type magic)
Personality:
Shy, tries not to be self absorbed, lets everyone else get the spotlight. If she finds herself rambling or yelling she will immediately shrink, as if she was nothing. Self-deprecating, mostly due to her mothers abuse as a child, but still has some hope left, not all was destroyed. The only time she raises her voice deliberately is when casting new spells.
Abilities/Skills:
Summoning Magic
-Creates little cherubs that are reminiscent of herself
-Cherubs work as a hive mind as attackers, so if Reiley is weak and can't make more than one pair, they're going to do very little.
-

-Yorick is her personal body guard, always around to protect her, her cherubs are mostly weak, cannon fodder. Yorick has dimensional portals he can slip through to get closer to the enemy, or get Reiley away from danger, or even drop enemies through. (Magic Users and non-humans have a resistance when going through portal, they have to be forced in. Physically shoved.)
-*- can create a singular large wolf (think half of sif from dark souls) to protect her. Used only as a last resort, as she will be close to fainting, or if already strained will faint from a lack of energy. (singular summons, if death occurs during their summoning, they won't be castable again.)

Weaknesses:
Anything that triggers her gender dysphoria, large area damage spells/abilities destroy her summons to quickly for her to react. She's fast, but she can't do much on her own without her summons.
Brief history/background:
Reiley was born a boy, under the name of Peter. Reiley was born to two biblethumpers, so coming out as transgender in her early teens was not something they would accept. Abomination soon became her new name. To escape this hell, she started to research dark magics. Summoning seemed to be the most prevalent and easy thing to learn. The first thing she read out of her old book was about the cherubs. Little, cute, winged creatures that resembled her. She thought they were useful enough, but decided to go further.
Reiley sent her new friends to search out a more powerful book on Summoning.
Not soon after, they returned with a book about the width of her arm filled with spells on spells, only some of it she could make it, because it was all in latin. She skimmed through the book, looking for vicious creatures. She saw the word bodyguard pop up in latin on one of the pages. She cast the spell, and Yorick popped up through a portal in the ground.
"At your service, my lady." Reiley's eyes glazed over. She sent Yorick to "deal" with her parents.
Which, seemingly, meant dropping them through a portal into a dimension filled with flesh eating creatures.
She likes to play this off and pretend like it never happened, because she doesn't want to be held responsible for anything that they did.
After that, she began her transition, hormones and everything. She continues to study new techniques and creatures as each day passes.
Anything else:
She holds a book that she studies frequently that she uses to learn new summoning techniques or summons.

Name:
Lars Winter

Age:
17

Gender:
Male

Species:
Sin Demon

Personality:
Lars is the average teenage boy growing up in a human world. He has a curious mind and is not afraid to get out and go find answers. He often has a "angle and demon on each shoulder" Kind of attitude when it comes down to making decisions. Most things in life are black and white to him and they grey area is almost non-existent. He is not easily upset and confrontation is not his thing either. Not afraid to make a friend, Lars is not a social butterfly but once you get to know him most like him.

Abilities/Skills: Demonic Magics
Demonic Magic
-Curses: Lars can cast 2 different kinds of curses on people; binding curses that trap people in certain areas or bind them to certain objects, and curses that affect the mind (making someone feel a certain emotion to a maximum extent or have them fall in and out of memories and see things that are not real). His curse only last for a maximum of 3 minuets and can be broken before that if he is disturbed mentally or physically. Also each curse drains his overall energy, making him tired in each form.
-Pain: Lars can inflict pain on anything he touches with his hands.
-Sins: Lars can feed and embody the different sins of man. Each sin makes him take a different form and attitude. For example when he feeds off of the sin of wrath he gets more aggressive and he acts more "bull headed".

Weaknesses:
In his regular form he is not super-powered or strong. The only abilities he has are his magical ones and faster healing capabilities. He is also more fragile in this form; he can be captured easier and most magics work on him. His powers are also an issue. Whenever he uses them there is some kind of repercussion on his body, whether is be fatigue, pain, or loss of function in some areas (like arms, legs, even some organs). Also due to divine laws he can only stay in his demonic form for a short period of time and after he transforms he needs rest for at least a day.

Personality:
Lars is a bland little boy. If he was a color it would be grey, simple and one track minded most does not get to him. He is open to change but hates surprises. Also most things that others would get goes over his head very easy. He does not understand most jokes and sarcasm is not one of his friends. Lars is an amazing optimist though. Despite his literal nature he is good at seeing a bright side to every situation.

Brief history/background:
Lars is a young demon born and raised in a divided household. His father is a demon of punishment and his mother was a witch. She summoned his father for the simple purpose of having a child in exchange for her soul in marriage. The deal was sealed and Lars was conceived. When he was born, he was raised by his mother during the regular months but for holidays he would spend that time in hell with his father. Lars' mother taught him what she could about magic and his father taught him what it meant to be a demon. He grew up having two different out looks on life and understanding that choice was one of the most powerful things on the planet. When Lars started middle school he started to make some bad choices, he would pull pranks, corrupt the minds of others and misuse his gifts. His father was thrilled at the thought of an evil son, but his mother was disappointed in her son. So, she bound her son's his mortal body on earth and limited his powers. Lars father was outraged and came to earth to collect the debt his "wife" owed. Now they live in London as one big happy family; his mother constantly being tortured, for the key to the seal on Lars' powers, in the basement, while his father sits there and laughs at her pain filled screams.
Anything Else:
N\A
