⚜️ Welcome to Nox Tenebrae.
⚜️ A world where the mundane and the supernatural exist back to back, with a veil of secrecy keeping them separate.
⚜️ It is a realm of the fantastical, hidden from mortal eyes, shaded and covered in mist, despite unfolding in clear view.
⚜️ We are not entirely oblivious to the bombastic nature of the supernatural, however.
⚜️ Myths and legends all find themselves rooted in some form of truth.
⚜️ However, throughout the millenia, humans have grown to disbelieve the concept of magic and otherworldly beings.
⚜️ Make no mistake, this is greatly beneficial for a world that wishes to stay hidden.
⚜️ In a world where humanity rules, there is little telling what would come to pass in the wake of magical discovery.
⚜️ Luckily, the absolute majority of found footage videos posted online are considered little more than hoaxes and entertainment.
⚜️ However, what if someone was to tell you, that the alleged monster chasing kids through a sewer system was in fact a true string of events?
[hr]
⚜️ Nox Tenebrae takes place at the monster hunting academy of the same name.
⚜️ It is a school for the supernatural, which trains eager prospects into "Agents of the Veil."
⚜️ What this entails is that students of Nox Tenebrae have one sole duty.
⚜️ This duty is to keep the mundane world blissfully unaware of the horrors actually lurking within a young girl's closet, and under an unsuspecting boy's bed.
⚜️ It is the responsibility of protecting a world which disregards their existence from horrific monsters seeking to feast on the succulent flesh of mundane meat.
⚜️ Agents of the Veil hunt down those who would seek to further their goals by involving the human world in their plans for greed, power, and lust.
⚜️ From mindless monsters aiming for their next meal, to powerful mages seeking the eradication of mundanes, as an Agent of the Veil, you are what stands between widespread chaos, and a blissful separation of two worlds.
[hr]
⚜️ This roleplay will focus on a group of students at Nox Tenebrae, studying to become full-fledged agents.
⚜️ It is a story revolving around action, horror, and most all, character interactions.
⚜️ There are two primary aspects of this roleplay.
⚜️ The first is mission play, where players can make up their own missions by themselves, or together.
⚜️ The second is a more slice of life oriented interaction between characters within the safety of Nox Tenebrae.
⚜️ Nox Tenebrae is going to be a hub which characters can return to, whenever they wish, to gather their strength, and attend classes on hunting.
⚜️ In essence, this Roleplay is going to be a combination between a school themed setting, and an action-oriented story.
[hr]
⚜️ What separates the supernatural world from the mundane world is a mystical shroud dubbed 'The Veil'.
⚜️ This mysterious, overlaying power acts as a thick screen between the two worlds, keeping the mundane existence blissfully unaware of darkness they once feared.
⚜️ However, while human beings cannot see through The Veil of their own volition, this barrier will be broken, if a supernatural creature attempts to interact with the mundane world in any notable way.
⚜️ An elf, fairy, or beast-related creature can walk down the street and appear as if any other part of the environment, shielded by The Veil.
⚜️ However, closer interactions with the mundane will consistently weaken that protection throughout the scene.
⚜️ A monster attacking a human in a dark alley will completely shatter The Veil for that person, revealing for them that their worst nightmares are actually real. 
[hr]
⚜️ The supernatural world has categorized its countless different species into two different groups.
⚜️ This includes the 'Civil' races, and the 'Monstrous' races.
⚜️ It is as one would expect, where vicious creatures of folklore would fall under the category of monsters, and beautiful fey would be revered within the supernatural community.
⚜️ Of course, this is not to say that every monstrous species deserves their strictly shunned position.
[hr]
⚜️ In this roleplay, you can create essentially anything you want, within a frame of limitations.
⚜️ Darker creatures such as the undead, demons, or mystical horrors may, in fact, not be mindless beings of destruction.
⚜️ However, anyone belonging to these categories will face discrimination from their more 'civilized' peers.
[hr]
[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/5jeup2r.png[/img][/center]
⚜️ Nox Tenebrae is an esteemed school of hunters, one of the places that do, in fact, not care for your background or species.
⚜️ If you managed to pass their tests, you will find yourself being a full-time student at Nox Tenebrae, with all the luxuries and responsibilities this entails.
⚜️ Nox Tenebrae is located, ironically enough, in the heart of culture.
⚜️ This is New York City, which displays a proud and massive castle amongst the countless other buildings stretching across its cityscape.
⚜️ Of course, it is worthy of note that for those of mundane life, Nox Tenebrae appears as if it is yet another company building, among the rest, with its students adding a false scene of workers entering and leaving the building in a daily routine.
[hr]
⚜️ Within Nox Tenebrae, student ages vary drastically, depending on when you chose to sign up.
⚜️ There are children as young as twelve training within those medieval halls, and new arrivals scratching fifty, who desire to protect their world, and that of the mundane.
⚜️ Age holds little meaning in Nox Tenebrae.
⚜️ What does matter, is your experience, and how long you have been at the academy.
⚜️ No hunter is allowed time on the field during their first three years, rather focusing all of their attention on training and studies.
⚜️ On the fourth year, they will begin their journey into danger, where further training and education becomes entirely their responsibility. 
⚜️ From magic, to physical training, to theoretical studies, there are countless different classes to take at the academy, and they tend to be tailored towards the applicants.
⚜️ Not every species is physically inclined, and not every race is capable of using magic.
⚜️ However, theoretical studies, monster knowledge, monster biology, and various other important book-related classes are available to everyone, and highly mandatory during the first three years. 
[hr]
⚜️ One might ask how and where these agents are informed of incoming danger, where they need to step between mundane lives, and a vicious monster.
⚜️ Nox Tenebrae has specialized scouts maintaining an ever vigilant, watchful eye over the world, and consistently keeps the academy updated.
⚜️ Every fourth-year student is given a small, handheld device reminiscent of a phone, where they can accept missions that come and go periodically.
⚜️ Missions will always be ranked on their danger level, and recommend a certain number of hunters to group together.
⚜️ When partaking in a mission, students consent to whatever danger they put themselves in, and are completely responsible for themselves.
⚜️ If a fourth-year student wishes to test their mettle, and accepts a mission by far surpassing their capabilities, incoming death is their own provocative. 
[hr]
⚜️ Though Nox Tenebrae retains the architecture of a medieval castle, it as modern as one might have expected, in this day and age.
⚜️ The school contains all manner of rooms for classes, lounging, dorms, training, and so on.
⚜️ All dorms are single rooms, and in a hallway of dorms, genders are mixed.
⚜️ Students may proceed to live in their dorms for as long as they wish, as attendance at Nox Tenebrae never truly ends.
[hr]

[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/tyNzX3U.png[/img][/center]
[color=#b18f71][h3][b][u]Basic Information[/u][/b][/h3][/color]
[color=b18f71][u][b]Name[/b][/u] [/color]
🌑 Nello Ishtar.

🌑 Sixteen.

[color=b18f71][u][b]Gender[/b][/u][/color]

🌑 Egyptian.

[color=b18f71][u][b]Nationality[/b][/u][/color]

🌑 Formerly Human.
[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/fWPf7S7.png[/img][/center]
[color=b18f71][h3]Detailed Information[/h3][/color]
[color=b18f71][u][b]Appearance[/b][/u] [/color]
🌑 Nello looks vastly different form when he was human, following his demonic transformation.
🌑 He has pale skin across his body, draped in soft, snakelike scales.
🌑 His eyes are large, circular, and red. They are often hidden beneath a hood.
🌑 Also hidden beneath his hood, is the boy's jet black hair, which would otherwise cover his eyes. 
🌑 He's been called 'emo' more than once.
🌑 If he was to open his mouth, one would see a row of shark-like, razor-sharp teeth.
🌑 Clearly reptilian, demonically so, there are two small, curved horns atop the boy's head. They jut out from his messy mop of black hair. 
🌑 Nello's digits are slender, dainty, and nothing one would expect from a swordsman.
🌑 On his lower back, one can clearly see a long, slender, reptilian tail.
🌑 His toes are, in fact, a set of three small talons.

🌑 Nello is quite tiny, standing at a meager five feet. 
🌑 He weighs only seventy pounds.
🌑 This has led to him being called a 'Kobold' very frequently. 

🌑 As for clothes, Nello tends to towards hoodies.
🌑 He enjoys jeans and cargo pants.
🌑 On his feet, he wears typical converse shoes.
🌑 There is a black bracelet on his forearm, which he never takes off. In fact, he can't.
🌑 His clothes tend towards black, grey, and beige in color. He's not very creative.
🌑 When speaking, one can hear that Nello has a soft, if somewhat ghostly voice.
🌑 He does not sound human.
🌑 Nello's blood is black.
🌑 When he blushes, his cheeks turn a darker grey. 

[color=b18f71][u][b]Personality[/b][/u] [/color]
🌑 Nello is, despite his appearance, a sweet boy.
🌑 He enjoys exactly what one would expect of a sixteen-year-old.
🌑 Videogames, energy drinks, soda, movies, and music take up a large part of his free time.
🌑 Nello is just somewhat reserved, enough so for others to consider him a bit of an outsider.
🌑 He's weird, without a doubt.
🌑 He is most certainly courageous and doesn't shy away from conflict.
🌑 Nello is impulsive.
🌑 Nello is too curious.
🌑 He loves animals and has a habit of helping critters in need of aid, wherever he finds them.
🌑 Nello has arachnophobia. He hates spiders with a passion. That hatred is actually fear.
🌑 Soda is an addiction. Considering how he can't eat, he drinks even more. He doesn't need it. It tastes good.
🌑 Nello is not above affection and is quite cuddly.
🌑 He is very competitive.
🌑 There are few things Nello loves as much as horror.
🌑 He spends far too much time listening to creepypastas. 
🌑 Despite everything, Nello finds himself drawn to conflict more often than he would like to admit. And likes it.
🌑 Due to his appearance, it is understandable that Nello can be self-conscious at times, and doesn't like being stared at. 

[color=b18f71][u][b]Notable Relations[/b][/u][/color]
🌑 His father, who, as a human being, works as a librarian at Nox Tenebrae.

[color=b18f71][u][b]Everyday Skills[/b][/u][/color]
🌑 Nello is fluent in English, Arabic, and Latin.
🌑 He has some knowledge of Anglosaxian.
🌑 Other ancient languages are something he would be able to decipher given enough time, and research.

[color=b18f71][u][b]Biography[/b][/u][/color]
[color=b18f71][i]The Bracelet[/i][/color]
🌑 Born to two Egyptian parents, in America.
🌑 Mother passed away from a terminal illness when Nello was ten years old.
🌑 Nafir Ishtar, Nello's father, was an antiques dealer and collector.
🌑 With consideration for his mother's passing, Nello had managed to lead a common and ordinary life. 
🌑 School grades never reached above average.
🌑 He did, however, since an early age, find great interest in archaeology and linguistics. 
🌑 This can be blamed on his father.
🌑 Nello's social life consisted of pets and the odd friend. It is safe to say that he wasn't particularly social.
🌑 Due to this, he tended to avoid crowds and was quickly branded as the 'weird one out', and the school outcast.
🌑 It is no surprise then, that he prefers the company of animals.

🌑 Growing up, Nello was always sickly, fragile and on a path to feeling worse with age. 
🌑 It only got worse once he became a teenager, and by sixteen, the boy was reaching the end of his life.
🌑 One can safely assume that whatever killed his mother, had managed to pass onto him, as well.

🌑 While the saying, 'curiosity killed the cat' is a common phrase, for Nello, it very much saved him.
🌑 Nafir had recently procured a new set of trinkets from an old, forgotten monastery on the English countryside.
🌑 This was merely one of many archeological ventures Nello's father had conducted. 
🌑 Among the discoveries, Nello came in contact with an old, battered, aged and very much rusted bracelet.
🌑 It appeared to be falling apart, with chinks and cracks throughout the item. 
🌑 However, further inspection would reveal intricate, and ornate engravings in the bracelet, hinting at a rather beautiful appearance when it was first made.
🌑 Nello understood the language of these engravings due to his basic knowledge in Anglosaxian.
🌑 The bracelet spelled out Nocturne.

🌑 The sick and fragile boy decided to try the bracelet, putting it around his thin wrist.
🌑 This, for any magically sensitive person in the area, would be considered an astronomically stupid idea.
🌑 Nello could not sense magic.
🌑 Upon clicking the item into place, the boy's eyes widened at the result.
🌑 With engravings darkening into a pitch black hue, the bracelet appeared to rebuild itself into its former glory.
🌑 Pieces manifested themselves onto the trinket, rust and age's touch vanishing as if dust in the wind.
🌑 With the bracelet shifting, turning and twisting itself around Nello's forearm, it finally revealed itself with a glass-like eye opening amidst the middle of the artifact, staring at Nello intently.
🌑 Nello could not take the item off, no matter his attempts. One could blame his weak nature, but the bracelet was stuck, and would not leave his arm.
🌑 With a dim glow emanating from the glass eye, Nello fell to his back with a frightened yelp. 

[color=b18f71][i]The Meeting[/i][/color]
[hider=Curiosity and the Cat.]
"Yes! Finally! For fuck sake, how long has it been!?" Came a ghastly voice bringing chills to Nello's state of being, a glacial cold trickling down his spine as the boy gazed forward at the shadowy figure stretching its limbs, as if from a prolonged rest.

"Wh-what..?" The teenager tried, his body stricken by fear induced paralyzis, sitting on the wooden, lacquered floor. "Who are you!" He finally managed, raising his voice in a most pathetic attempt at sounding intimidating. 

Staring back at Nello, bright, red eyes reflecting the bracelet's fearsome gaze pierced through him with ease. "Who am I!?" The creature stepped forth, making itself more visible in the dim light. Whatever this creature was, it looked like an exact mirror image of Nello himself. A dark, shadowy version of the boy. "What, do you usually put on shit you've no clue about?" 

There was a slight pause, a lingering bout of silence as the two stared at one another, Nello and his dark reflection. Eventually, the teen answered. "Maybe this time..," he stated in a soft, unsure voice.

"..fucking hell!" The shadow sighed, exasperated. "My binding is to you!?" He'd exclaim, "just my bloody luck." 

"B-binding?" Nello tried, slowly rising to his feet. It was odd. That aching pain he had known for years, that unending fatigue which had gripped him like an iron fist, was gone. In place of pain, was a sensation equaled to strength. In place of coughing, came clear breathing. It was as if he had been cured of the ailments so closely tugging at his heart, a change which did not go unnoticed, despite the shadowy visitor claiming Nello's attention.

"I'm Nocturne, kid!" The creature spoke, "and now, your best fucking friend. Ain't that just swell?" Sharp teeth shone white through the shadowy cloak, sharp and pointed. Had he changed? Yes, he no longer looked human, no longer like Nello, himself. Or, rather, that was not entirely true. A quick glance downwards revealed for Nello a set of gray-skinned hands, with black claws atop his fingers. "I'm the greatest fucking warrior you've never heard of!" Nocturne pointed a clawed finger at Nello, "but a damned witch summoned me, and sealed me in that freaking bracelet. Unless someone found it and put it on, I'd have died when it fell apart!" 

"M-my hands, th-they..," Nello stammered, barely listening to the story. 

"Shut up, I'm having a moment! Geeze!" The shadow flicked Nello's forehead with a light thwap' sound. "So anyways!" Nocturne resumed, "better get used to this, 'cause you and I are bound together, Nello!" 

"How do you know my name!?" The teenager screamed as he ran towards the bathroom, meeting the mirror with a shocked scream. 

"I have all of your memories, duh," Nocturne rolled his eyes, appearing behind the boy with crossed arms, leaning against the tiled wall.

"What the fuck did you do to me?!" Nello shouted, pointing at the mirror before he turned to the shadow. His entire body had mutated into a shape vastly different from what he was expecting to see on that reflective surface. As if his frame had been possessed by darkness. 

"How about, 'thanks Noct', for making me look awesome," the shadow placed his hands on Nello's shoulders with a bright, toothy grin. "You saved me, and looks like I saved you. Nello, you and I are going to fuck shit up!"
[/hider]
[color=b18f71][i]The Hunter[/i][/color]
🌑 It was, understandably, impossible to ignore Nello's recent changes.
🌑 His illness had been entirely cured, and he no longer displayed any symptoms of what previously plagued him.
🌑 Only his father knew the truth about Nocturne, the bracelet, and Nello.
🌑 Following this change, Nello and his father were approached by Nox Tenebrae, and this was where the boy's introduction into this fantastical world truly took off.
🌑 Nafir, Nello's father, was not ignored, in the equation.
🌑 He was offered a place at the academy, as well, where he could continue his research, alongside others.

[color=b18f71][h3]Combat[/h3][/color]
[color=b18f71][u][b]Fighting Style[/b][/u][/color]
🌑 Nello is a pure melee combatant.
🌑 He focuses entirely on swordsmanship, and martial arts.
🌑 Neoh fighting style revolves around agility, mobility, and deadly precision, rather than brute force.

[color=b18f71][u][b]Strengths[/b][/u][/color]
🌑 Nello's performance with the sword is phenomenal.
🌑 While not quite on the same level, he is incredibly impressive in unarmed combat, thanks to Nocturne.

[color=b18f71][u][b]Weaknesses[/b][/u][/color]
🌑 Nello is very rigid, in combat.
🌑 This makes less than flexible.
🌑 Due to his pact, Nello cannot use any other weapon than his sword.
🌑 There are several glaring weaknesses he has been subjected to through his pact, which clearly puts him at a disadvantage against certain approaches.
🌑 Despite his abilities, Nello is five feet tall, and he weighs seventy pounds.
🌑 No one can expect him to add much weight behind motions, or stability.

[color=b18f71][u][b]Equipment[/b][/u][/color]
🌑 Nello's sword is named Calamity.
🌑 Further information on the weapon in the 'Powers' section, as well as 'Extras'.

[img]https://i.imgur.com/GXUWOA9.png[/img] [color=b18f71][b]Gift Of Calamity[/b][/color]
🌑 Nello can conjure forth his sword, Calamity. When used, Nocturne vanishes, as he takes the shape of the sword. 
🌑 Calamity can always damage organic material, like a sharpened edge on skin, irrelevant of species or density. 
🌑 Though Calamity can damage any organic material, the sword is actually not supernaturally sharp, and thus, cannot cut through anything a normal, sharpened sword would have issues with. 

[img]https://i.imgur.com/sEagxkC.png[/img] [color=b18f71][b]Gift Of Discord[/b][/color]
🌑 Nello has been given the passive, reflexive ability of rapid cellular regeneration, nigh instantly healing him. 

[img]https://i.imgur.com/V4QIV2X.png[/img] [color=b18f71][b]Gift Of Chaos[/b][/color]
🌑 Nello's physical strength has been increased to the level of an Olympic athlete. While not supernatural by any measure, it by far surpasses his scrawny appearance. 

[img]https://i.imgur.com/TMxcPRe.png[/img] [color=b18f71][b]Gift Of Strife[/b][/color]
🌑 Upon bonding with Nocturne, Nello was gifted physical prowess, and martial skills otherwise belonging to the demon.

[color=b18f71][b]Price Of Purity[/b][/color]
🌕 Wounds delivered from silver cannot heal on the spot, but rather, requires a full night's rest to recover from. 
🌕 Table salt will cause smaller burns on Nello's skin. 

[color=b18f71][b]Price Of Sanctity[/b][/color]
🌕 Under direct sunlight, Nello cannot heal. 
🌕 The sun causes irritation for his eyes. 
🌕 It is uncomfortable on his exposed skin. 

[color=b18f71][b]Price Of Loyalty[/b][/color]
🌕 Nello is physically unable to use anything other than his sword as a weapon, as it will sear his hand like a burning ember. 
🌕 Throwing something at someone with the intent to harm them will result in no damage at all. 

[color=b18f71][b]Price Of Balance[/b][/color]
🌕 The more Nello heals, the more tired he gets.
🌕 Cutting the nape of his neck will kill him.
🌕 Cutting off oxygen to his brain can kill him.
🌕 Drowning can also kill him.
🌕 A cauterized, severed limb needs to be reopened to heal.
🌕 Damage to the brain will cause memory loss.
🌕 Nello requires sleep, like anyone else.
🌕 Too much damage will cause Nello to faint from exhaustion.
🌕 Poisons and toxins may hinder or completely halt Nello's regeneration, until they are eventually healed.

[color=b18f71][b]Price Of Binding[/b][/color]
🌕 Nello's life is directly tied to Nocturne, the demon he is bonded to.
🌕 If their bond is severed, they will both die.
🌕 Those with the ability to see spirits will be able to see Nocturne.
🌕 Powerful mages might even be able to interact with him.
🌕 Everything that would affect a demon, has the same effect on Nello.
🌕 Nello can be bound by spells aimed at demons, because he is more demon than human.

[color=b18f71][b]Price Of Eternity[/b][/color]
🌕 Nello cannot age, which brings with it a host of issues.
🌕 Nello cannot change his body in any way. He cannot gain weight, or muscle, and he cannot alter his appearance.
🌕 He cannot eat solid food. While he does not feel hunger, eating anything will promptly lead to vomiting. This is an incredibly painful ordeal.
🌕 The pact has given Nello an obviously demonic appearance.

[u][color=#b18f71][b]Nello and Nocturne[/b][/color][/u]
🌑 It's not exactly something they have proclaimed, but Nello and Nocturne are a bit.., more.., than friends.
🌑 Nocturne's presence is entirely tangible for Nello, but only for Nello.
🌑 Nocturne can choose if he wants to vanish into Nello's mind, or manifest himself.
🌑 When Nocturne takes the shape of Nello's sword, Calamity, he communicates with Nello telepathically.
🌑 Nocturne cannot manifest while Nello has Calamity equipped.
🌑 Whatever Nello feels, Nocturne feels, which makes sparring quite interesting.
🌑 Nocturne has all of Nello's memories.
🌑 When bonding with Nello, Nocturne's entire being shifted, where he adopted some traits from Nello.
🌑 Nocturne looks like an exact copy of Nello.
🌑 Anyone who can see Nocturne would be seeing two Nellos.
🌑 If someone was to read Nello's mind, they would be met by Nocturne, which can end badly.

🌑 The sword ignores biological durability.
🌑 It can damage any kind of entity, as long as the creature is biological.
🌑 Though the blade is deadly, it cannot cut through sturdy and protective materials like steel, and so on.
🌑 As Nello grows older, and more in tune with his sword, the blade will grow more powerful.
🌑 Currently, apart from the equalizing effect of ignoring biological protection, the blade can be considered mundane.
🌑 The sword can be considered indestructible, but is directly linked to Nello's and Nocturne's bond. 
🌑 If their bond breaks, so does the sword.., and they also die.
🌑 While someone else can technically hold, and even use Calamity, Nocturne isn't about to let anyone do that.
🌑 If, by chance, Nocturne and Nello would let someone use the sword, they are technically holding Nocturne.

✨ The mystical barrier which prevents two worlds from overlapping.
✨ This magical energy is constant throughout the planet.
✨ Due to The Veil, a supernatural creature will never be spotted by a mundane, unless they are seeking to earn the mundane's attention, in some way.
✨ Depending on the creature's appearance, their ability to blend in will vary drastically.
✨ A seven-foot demon covered in scales would immediately shatter the barrier if they aimed to order a cup of coffee at Starbucks.
✨ Meanwhile, a more human-like creature could easily slip in and out of human interaction, without much of an issue.
✨ In essence, everything supernatural is entirely invisible to human senses, unless it actively provokes attention.

✨ With this in mind, a battle between supernaturals could occur in broad daylight, in the middle of town square, without anyone seeing it.
✨ This would assume that no mundane person is in any way affected by the battle, and as such, would disregard the clashing of swords as if a passing breeze.
✨ However, interaction with the environment will weaken The Veil, and too much of this will eventually shatter the barrier, allowing view of the scenario at hand, for those present.

✨ The Veil repairs itself after the conclusion of a scene, rendering the supernatural entity invisible once more.
✨ This is what has lead to many 'bumps in the night', and peoples' so-called, 'imagination'.
✨ The less people know about the supernatural world, the more powerful The Veil is.
✨ The more people know of this fantastical stage, the less powerful The Veil is.

[color=aba000][u][b]Behavior[/b][/u][/color]
🔱 Be mature.
🔱 Communication is the golden road to success, don't be afraid to express yourself.
🔱 Be civil when you express yourself.
🔱 A polite approach will take you far.
🔱 Don't be passive aggressive.
🔱 If you have a problem with another player, take it up with me. There is no use in crowding someone.
🔱 I personally do not care how inflammatory someone is, but to make it pleasant for everyone, don't actively try to push any buttons.

[color=aba000][u][b]Responsibilities[/b][/u][/color]
🔱 I am here every day.
🔱 I do not expect the same level of commitment from others, but I do expect weekly attendance.
🔱 If your last IC post was seven (7) days ago, I will scratch you from the RP.
🔱 Anyone stuck in a scene for days, waiting for someone else, is welcome to write themselves out of it.
🔱 If you address your vacancy beforehand, you are welcome back whenever you're no longer busy.

[color=aba000][u][b]Characters[/b][/u][/color]
🔱 I expect to see fully fledged characters submitted.
🔱 No WIPs in the OOC, please.
🔱 You are welcome to be as dark and gritty, or colorful and bombastic as you want.
🔱 You can tackle whatever taboo theme you want.
🔱 Your character can be as sexist, homophobic, racist, etc, as you want, as long as it actually fits their personality.
🔱 You can use whatever kind of picture, or lack thereof, that you want, be it drawn or real.
🔱 Write your character the way you're most comfortable, just keep the important bits there.
🔱 There are no aliens.
🔱 When you post your character, do so in hiders.
🔱 This is fantasy RP, and not a sci fi RP.
🔱 You cannot play a futuristic character, or something that would belong to a sci-fi setting.
🔱 The roleplay is purely urban fantasy, with everything that this entails.

⚜️ You never need to wait for me, or a Co-GM to progress the story.
⚜️ This roleplay is freeform, and you are able to pave your character's path without restrictions from me.
⚜️ If you want your character to tackle something bigger, run it by me or a Co-Gm, otherwise, go nuts.
⚜️ The key to this roleplay is character interaction and mission-fun-times.
⚜️ Overlaying plots, arcs, and main villains are nothing I am going to put emphasis on.
⚜️ However, players are more than welcome to come up with something, along with myself, which we can then introduce into the roleplay.
