Please do not proceed without reading everything.


Be kind and respectful.
No godmodding. Respect the limits of the roleplay. If GMs say you're crossing a line, respect and work with them
Don't get offended if someone's character doesn't like yours. As long as they are respectful OOC, then they are not causing an issue.
Outright smut gotta go to the PMs. Sexual themes are okay just remember you are walking on thin ice.
Posts must be at least a paragraph. This means a 5 sentence minimum.
Posts must be weekly. The sooner the better since it is more fun if the RP moves. If you fail to post within a week WITHOUT warning us ahead of time that you cannot post, so that we can work something out, you will be given a strike. Two strikes you're out.
Do not join if you cannot commit. If you are too busy to post or know you are going to be, please don't join.
Four character maximum.
We will not accept a large number of grey-area, loner-type characters who are not going to move along the story and want to just go along with their own side story. Building upon the story is great! However, when too many people are off-topic, it becomes hard to move the story along. That said, a few are fine. We have right to reject whoever.







✡ Premise ✡

The town of Ember Grove is one of the oldest but always forgotten towns in the United States, founded in 1632. Located off the coast of South Carolina, the town is sometimes a tourist spot but the settled population always seems to be dwindling. It's a hot-spot for crime and murder seemingly but this never seems to become a new story for more than those who dwell in the town. Murders and disappearances are swept under the rug and no one outside of Ember Grove seems to know much at all of their constant mishaps. As far as appearances go, it's a rather nice looking area and most tourists wonder how anything bad could happen in town with such friendly faces.

Ember Grove has a big secret. Many of its residents live in ignorance of the reality of all the disappearances. It is one of the many towns that supernatural creatures gravitate to. Vampires hungry for blood come here looking to feast, werewolves bound through the woods and witches cast spells in the safety of their bedrooms. These creatures have lived for centuries without the public eye really believing they exist. The government, of course, knows of their existence and wants them to stay hidden to keep control of any panicking. Hunters have arisen for generations as well as an actual secret federal operation to exterminate these creatures in an effort to preserve humanity. Trouble looms for the residents as well as for these creatures themselves. Will they be able to coexist or will their secret finally come out? Life for sure is peculiar in Ember Grove...

Great job. I like him a lot and enjoyed reading. Once @FunnyGuy gives the okay, you can post it in the character tab. The gun is okay with me.

@princess@FunnyGuy

I'm considering joining the game with a werewolf character and had a few questions.

Weaknesses
1. Silver - It's easy to assume that you're referring to be shot with silver bullets, cut/slashed/pierced with silver blades, and probably injected with liquified silver. But, does touching silver have an effect on lycans? Could a wolf touch or hold a piece of silver without feeling ill (such as when Superman is near kryptonite) or feeling pain or being burned?

2. Chemical W - Does this chemical have an odor? Is it a gas or liquid, or can it be both?

Packs
3. If we do intend to have our PCs belong to a pack does said pack have to include other PCs? Or can it be a completely NPC pack?

Hello ! I have some criticisms personally. FunnyGuy will give you his two cents too.

1) I'd like if you could beef up the personality more.
2) I do not believe we made it possible to transfer your soul into an object and to reform from ashes from the dead and without the help of other witches. It seems overpowered to me.
3) Would you mind filling out a form for your coven so people can join it?

1. Silver is burning to the touch of werewolves.
2. Chemical W is odorless and it is a liquid normally. It could be converted into a gas like most liquids.
3. You can have NPCs but I'd like to try to get at least one PC in each group for the sake of your entertainment. NPCs are expected to exist often.

@blackdragon

Everything Princess noted, I agree. She's lived for ober half a century so she has to have some kind of flourished personality. How does she act in social situations with others. What kind of people does she like or dislike. Does she have any quirks. Personality flaws. Just flesh it out a bit. You seem like you like the character you created so I know you can do it :)

And Submit that group application.

@Raistlin Majere

Recruit people in the discord. Several people are making lycans so maybe you can submit a pack application

Unless you have previously told us that you are making a hunter, for now no more hunters UNLESS you make a character for the Holy Saviors, a religious cult dedicated to killing witches.

》P e r s o n a l i t y
Sean is a bit of a mystery to most who know him. Old friends, work colleagues, and even family. One thing most could agree on was that he was highly driven. When Sean set his attention on a task, he stuck to it like an obsession. Saying he's a workaholic would be accurate.

Sean often finds it hard to relate to others in his life that have experienced hardships. He can see the difference in the eyes of those who have lost so much to the supernatural and his own. Unlike some of his peers, Sean doesn't hold some vendetta or is out for revenge. He hunts the supernatural to protect those that are unable to defend themselves. His reasoning allows him to keep a level head in a fight with any foe, but his weakness is that he finds it hard to believe all supernatural are evil, especially recently. Seeing supernatural creatures showcasing a moment of humanity cause him to hesitate in acting against them. At the same time, he doesn't negotiate with any supernatural that chooses to live what they may deem their natural lives which may, in turn, threaten the lives of humans. After getting a kill, one might notice a sliver of remorse in his body language. His job is his duty. He doesn't enjoy having to go so far, but he knows he must for the creatures of the night are relentless.

Sean is not a fan of two things, bickering and wasting time on trivial matters. He would much rather give up on an argument than continue on and is straightforward with most things. He's not the most open about all his methods but is willing to share enough in order for his team to succeed. For instance, he doesn't share his supplier or the contents of the supernatural drug he uses to grant him an edge in battle, but his close colleagues are aware he's taking some kind of performance enhancer. He tells people what he thinks they need to know, but only that.

》H i s t o r y
Sean was born to a normal family with a fairly normal upbringing. He was just an only child who had the dream of becoming a police officer and was set on the path after he and his mother were rescued after a car accident that left their vehicle turned over after going off the road. It actually hadn't been an officer, but just a man who had witnessed the accident. With both of them safely removed from the vehicle during their time in need, Sean learned two things. He wanted to be like that man and help others, and much later he realized, you didn't need a badge to do just that.

At the age of 17, he enlisted in the United States Army for two years active duty as a military policeman. His main motivator for serving was to two fast track himself into the police academy. When he was nineteen and a summer away from going for the police academy, he found himself in a situation that he would never forget. His friend Keith had been a guy he had always gotten along with since the two met at a shooting range as teenagers. Their fathers were familiar with each other, but the young teens became the best of friends, bonding in their enjoyment of firearms. Keith didn't join the service and at one point was a bit distant, but the two had taken an evening to hit up a beach party in Clearwater. It was a good time until the later hours. There were about a dozen people drunkenly laughing and vibing when a snarling stage D vampire walked up onto the scene. One man was immediately grabbed a bitten when he approached the creature thinking it was some junkie. Keith was the only one who knew any better. Sean attempted to draw on the creature, but only got one shot to land, a shot that was easily ignored as it approached. While confused as to how something so frail looking could shrug off a 9mm at point-blank without so much as a flinch, Keith moved in front and fired two shots to the creature's chest and dropped it. Same caliber, practically the same pistol. The two then fled the scene while Keith made some odd phone calls. Keith had attempted to talk Sean down during the ride back to Tampa, but he had seen too much and wasn't going to let it go. Keith took him to his place and eventually explained.

Keith was in the family business of killing vampires. They were a small group that was located in the Tampa Bay area. Keith's family had been working in the area for several years. Keith was reluctant, but Sean was persistent. The more he learned about vampires, the more he wanted to go out and stop them. To him, they were the true criminals that never got caught. An enemy to humanity. Sean traded police academy in for some training and hunting with Keith. The two made a great team, but Sean felt they should be doing more. Playing more offensively. He went on hunts Keith wasn't comfortable with, he investigated vampire clans for hours on hours. Sean solving cases and killing vampires for sure, but he was also struggling with money. Keith's family was fine with helping Sean a bit, but it was barely enough. He had heard of Operation Humanity from Keith once but was told he was better off just quitting than going to them. He almost thought of quitting and getting an actual job, maybe even the police force.

In his time of considering, he came and Operation Humanity had wound up hunting the same suspected vampire in Georgia. Sean had a hunch that he was hunting a stage D vampire, due to the state of its victims. When Sean went head to head with what was a lycan and his soon to be victims, he found himself ill-prepared. Not only did the beast incapacitate him with a swift backhand into a tree, but it attacked the victims who cried out in response. Sean passed out before he snapped back awake to the sound of automatic gunfire. He found the lycan riddled with silver bullets. Sean would have died that night if Operation Humanity hadn't been there. He was devastated by the loss of life that occurred that night due to not being prepared. That was the same night they recruited him and opened his eyes to knowledge of lycans and witches as well. He joined a team dedicated to eradicating a savage werewolf pack in Georgia and learned to hunt the new deadly foe. If only his first encounter with a witch would have been the one to be straightforward.

Sean had gotten word that there was a witch coven operating within Atlanta, and though it wasn't in his scope, the man moved to raid the coven. To his surprise, what he found was not three ghoulish pale-skinned women huddled around a sacrificial child, but a family birthday party. He was sure they knew what kind of man he was, but he fled the scene before they could have a chance to act. That was the first night he questioned hunting. Operation Humanity had not yet tasked him to kill any witches, but what if they eventually did? He'd have to kill creatures that looked like people? It troubled him until he was assigned to hunt a small coven dabbling in necromancy.

When he was readying up for his next assignment, Sean was visited by a young woman… One of the witches from the birthday party he had barged into and fled. She wanted to flee her coven. She wanted to live what she called a normal life. Sean agreed to help her and used the location of his new assignment to move her there and away from her coven. It was also somewhat of a test. If this woman indeed wanted to live a normal life, then she would abstain from joining the coven he knew was present in Ember Grove. At the same time, he is currently using her as a way to gain first-hand knowledge about witches and to provide an edge in his combat of the supernatural. He is stationed at the Operation Humanity base outside of Ember Grove and often sleeps there.

》G r o u p

》P r e f e r r e d W e a p on (s)
Rifles, pistols, proton dual blades, and a trusty baseball bat.

》C o m b a t S k i l l s
Three minimum, five maximum.
✡ The use of all manner of firearms. Always open to get his hands on a new toy.
✡ Can use his surroundings and be innovative in combat
✡ Proficient in the use of two short swords, but not preferred
✡ Does not fight fair. Will use any advantage or tools available to win.
✡ Uses a black baseball bat that has been enchanted with an intermediate level protection spell that activates when it strikes the target of protection twice. It only works on one target at a time and its range is only as large as a single room.

》E x p e r i m e n t?
Uses an experimental drug concocted by a witch that secretly provides it to him. The drug known as Iblis Blood grants Sean with the ability to activate and deactivate a temporary boost similar to but greater than an adrenaline rush, but on command. Iblis Blood can be consumed as a deep red liquid, but Sean takes it as a gel tablet to keep his doses standardized.

Risk of heart attack if activated 6 times or for over an hour without deactivation
If used beyond the healthy limits, Sean becomes extremely fatigued for up to four hours
Needs to consume it daily for it to work daily. May be addicted, but he would never admit it.

》W e a k n e s s e s
Three minimum.
✡ Becomes very paranoid when he feels like he's not in control of a situation
✡ Underestimates himself without Iblis Blood which negatively impacts his combat performance
✡ Little to almost no experience combating witches.
✡ Can hesitate when killing a creature if they show a great deal of humanity.

Love how it's coming along. Read it all and I love her. I'd like to know more about this coven and Amna's current situation with that but I will give you a chance to finish that history to find that out!

@Ithradine Great job! So the mother is the leader of the clan? Will she be a NPC?
Anyhow, it's accepted. The way you formatted it is so neat and nice!
