Amam Amasis (The Devourer of the Child of the Moon)


2300 Years old (Looks to be in his twenties in human form)


Male


Mummy


In his human form, he is an attractive, pale man with long, white hair and blood-red eyes.
However, his mummy form reveals that he is a sentient, preserved, animated corpse with jagged teeth and one red eye that shines from beneath his wrappings.


Amam is an arrogant, calculating, know-it-all, who views all of humanity as slaves. They just don't know it. A master manipulator, he will tell you what you want to hear, and then reveal that it was for his own benefit, once he gets away with it.

Can't stand Italians.


Amam is a mummy, which means that as long as his body lasts, he is alive. He uses several ancient rituals to sustain himself, although his greatest magics lie in illusion and manipulation.

- Illusions as mind-affecting and sensory-affecting spells, and Manipulation as compulsion, and emotion manipulation.

- Knows rituals on how to make a mummy, preserve himself, and commune with the dead.

Fights with a Staff of Ra and a Pharaoh's Flail (Both of which function as holy symbols), has a Kopesh as a backup.


Is a dried corpse, so while his physical strength might be great, he is vulnerable to great amounts of flame. Has a ward that allows him to remain unaffected by small flames, like normal humans, but if the ward is broken, he will go up in an instant.


Amam was born in the Middle Era of Egypt, where he, like many other mummies, was a priest to the gods. He was once one of the high priests, second in power to only the pharaoh. He became a mummy upon death, and went to Alexandria, to work in the Library, where a great many undead already claimed refuge.

However, the refuge was to last only a little while, for Julius Caesar ordered the XII Legion Fulminata to put Alexandria to the torch, killing many Mummies, Nosferatu, and Liches, as well as a more grievous sin, the wanton destruction of knowledge. Amam escaped to Britannia, where he has lived for hundreds of years.

Anything else: Did I mention he hates Italians?



The Quaela is a community of undead, lead by Amam, which lives in a 15-story complex on top of a popular hotel known as The Queen's Garden, accessible only by a mystical elevator visible only to the supernatural. The fifteen floors are hidden by powerful spells of illusion that either make a viewer not care about the fact that there is an extra fifteen stories to a 30- story builting. Planes and aircraft subconsciously avoid the area, and if they are about to crash into the building, a powerful shield will deflect them.


The Queen's Garden is a popular, five star hotel that is usually staffed by mummies, vampires, and other supernatural and undead creatures, but there are quite a few humans, too. (Usually on the day shift.) The hotel itself is the source of over half of Amam's massive income.





The Quaela proper is an extension of the hotel, invisible to non-supernatural beings. There are many rooms, similar to the hotel's rooms, but with notable exceptions, such as coffins buried with gravedirt, sarcophogi, astral foci, and other things to attend to the various undead's needs. There are many ballrooms, dining areas, and various entertainment rooms (libraries, movie viewing areas, internet cafes, and arcades,) as well as service rooms (clothes washing rooms, embalming rooms, blood storage, astral anchors, kitchens, etc.) The largest room is a main hall leading from the elevator that connects most of the first two floors, where most of the residents socialize, and meet/examine newcomers.


The top five floors are Amam's own private sanctum; although others are allowed in by request, invitation, and appointment. There are many rooms that hold Amam's many collected treasures (under heavy lock and key, and guarded by magical Anubis statues,) as well as his massive library. The third- and second- highest floors are such vaults and libraries, while the fifth- and fourth-highest are a reception area, and observation deck for visitors. The top floor is a combination observatory and library, and almost no one is allowed in, and this is reinforced by modern security systems, powerful magic, and more Anubis statues.









1- Do not question Amam while in the Quaela. You are ALLOWED to stay here. Remember that.

2- Do not bring any undue attention to the Quaela. The balance between you being discovered and remaining hidden depends on it.

3- Do not fight inside the Quaela. The Quaela is a safe space for us. You come to escape conflict, so do not create it.

Vaughtar


230


Male


Gargoyle




Bypassers commonly interpret him as an untreated case of giantism, combined with a personal preference for bodybuilding. He stands more than 8', has extremely thick bones and no less prominent muscles. He appears dark and pale, including his eyes. The only hair on his body is a goatee long enough to dangle from his chin. There's a pair of leathery wings on his back that can be folded together to a compact limb that he hides beneath a cloak.


Though he looks very intimidating, his behaviour is dominated by non-hostility. Violence is not an option for him unless he feels threatened. Within the supernatural community he is rather outspoken, but to all others he appears as a silent behemoth. He makes a secret of where he exactly lives - that information could easily cost him his life if anyone malicious came to know it.


Vaughtar can read, write and do basic math, but aside from that and the historical knowledge about the country he has been living in for more than two centuries, he's pretty uneducated and untrained. However this should not be confused with a lack of intelligence. It's a matter of access to that education. The strength he has to rely on is..well.. his physical strength that surpasses that of a human being by far and the ability to take a very serious amount of punishment before running into problems. He can carry another person with him into the air (as long as not too heavy). He has improved eyesight, including nightvision.


He moves sluggishly (especially on his feet) and one can't expect him to fight in an agile, evasive or even sneaky way. His size and extreme weight simply don't allow him to do so and there's not much he can do about it. He needs to regenerate as humans do, however a gargoyle's equivalent to having a nice slumber in a bed is to turn from flesh to stone the moment the sun rises above the horizon - no matter if he can actually see it or not. As humans can delay falling asleep, he can delay that transformation, but doing so weakens him continuously until the next sunrise simply forces him to give way to the urge. Although he is a magical creature to the core, he is not able to actively cast any spell.


Vaughtar was created by an unknown chiseller during the so called gothic revival in the late 18th century. Most scholars think that gargoyles are the result of a specific type of magical anomaly - that yet is very little known about - attaching itself to those large blocks of stone meant to look like intimidating fantasy creatures. Others think that the chisellers themselves applied the magic. There is simply not enough evidence to confirm any of those theories. Since the gothic era and its renewals have ended a long time ago, the birth rate has virtually dropped to zero. Vaughtar himself has never met the one that carved him, so he can't tell either.
For about the last two centuries, it was rather easy for him to hide, but a growing population, massively increased city illumination, shrinking retreat areas and the ubiquitous presence of cameras forced him to switch strategy. Today he works as a bouncer for a rather prominent discotheque on the outskirts of London.

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.
