Alright people the first OC post is here so for those who havent gotten the story idea yet we will all be attending a house of night here in the US specifically Seattle Washington. We will all be playing fledglings at said HoN dealing with the typical drama of high school. Relationships, cliques, rivals, classes. Oh and did I mention a bunch of fledglings have gone missing? oh and the entity known as Darkness is behind it all. (And yes thats a capital D) Alright without further ado here are the CS rules. Absolutely no one can be "Zoey" meaning no affinities for all five elements (Air, Fire, Water, Earth, and Spirit) Canon characters can be mentioned but lets not have anyone be related to them in anyway shape or form as they will now be appearing in the RP as of yet. (If we get far enough in the nerd herd might make an appearance) Your characters can be from where ever you want as long as its a real life locale and you have a valid reason to be at the school. Everyone is a Student but if you wanted and we had a decent amount of student characters I will allow a second character that is a Professor. [hider= Now for the CS] [b]Name:[/b] Give both your birth name and the name you chose for yourself if different from your birth name [b]Age:[/b] pretty obvious but lets go no one older than 20 [b]Gender:[/b] fairly obvious unless someone wants to play one of the god knows how many genders there are now [b]Orientation:[/b] sexual orientation its pretty straight forward [b]Form:[/b] What form are you in Third, Fourth, Fifth, or Sixth [b]Affinities:[/b] I'm gonna say a max of two one elemental and the other something else such as Starks affinity with a bow. And lets have one per element....I'm calling dibs on Fire though. [b]Bio:[/b] Just a brief history of your character [/hider] [hider=Vampyres/ House of Night 101] First of all in this world Vampyres have been around for as long as anyone can remember and are a tolerated part of society. Vampyres are heavily matriarchal meaning most of if not all of the people in power are women. This is noted by having High Priestesses instead of Priests. As a form of government Vampyres have a council of very old members that make very important decisions involving Vampyre law from their home in Italy. As far as how one becomes a Vampyre this is through the process of marking. A tracker will get an astounding impulse to go to a certain location and when they get there a magic rite is spoken and the target child feels what has been described as a searing pain equivalent to that of your head being split open. From there the newly marked fledgling will need to make their way to a House of Night or their body will reject the change and they will die. This change is a physiological one a certain gene in adolescents will allow their body to begin this change. Once at the house of night the fledgling will need to stay there and as a perk they get emancipated and as such they can change their name if they so choose to a name more suited to their personality. Once all of the formalities such as receiving their roommates and schedules and getting settled in the students will meet their mentors and eventually their classes will start. Vampyres have quite a few beliefs the primary of which is in the Goddess Nyx and her consort Erebus. As well as the story of the two Bulls. The black bull of Light and the white bull of Darkness both of which want nothing more than to destroy eachother but without one the world will become unbalanced and fall into chaos. [/hider] And for a quick reference in our world the vampyres bought West Seattle High School which will be our House of Night.
