[OOC] The Hidden People

[vietmyke]

@Nightfury Kat facehunting is always a pain for me- I prefer avoiding famous people as much as possible- though in this case I seem to have caved, and my supply of digital art images are considerably larger than that of IRL images.

[Nightfury Kat]

@vietmyke same, though mostly in regards to not using famous faces. I used to have a whole bunch of random ones bookmarked for future characters, but that computer died a horrible death and I lost them all. Luckily I use gdocs for my sheets and writing, so those were safe.

My sheet will be up sometime tomorrow. I have to go get three hours of sleep before work now.

@Nightfury Kat I love FC hunting! If you need any help just PM a description, and I'll go looking. I also know a bit of photoshop, so if you've found a pic but the hair or eye color is not right I can change it. :D

@Emma Hi, I am interested in joining this. I wanted to know if I could make a light elf, since elves are a type of fae. This is the information I found on light elves:

According to Mythology Wikia,

Elves are creatures of Norse mythology. The elves were originally imagined as a race of minor nature and fertility gods, who are often pictured as youthful-seeming men and women of great beauty, living in forests and underground places, like caves, or in wells and springs. They have been portrayed to be long-lived or immortal and as beings of magical powers. In Norse paganism, Light elves were beautiful creatures and were considered to be “guardian angels”. The god Freyr, were the ruler of Alfheim, the home of the light elves. In terms of hierarchy, Light elves were minor gods of nature and fertility; they could help or hinder, humans with their knowledge of magical powers. They also often delivered an inspiration to art or music.

According to Marvel Wikia,

Light elves possess superhuman strength, speed, stamina, durability, agility, and reflexes. They all possess a vulnerability to iron.

According to LOTR Wikia,

Elves are very similar to Men. Unlike Men, however, they are immortal, in that their bodies do not age once they have reached maturity, so that they do not seem to become elderly or die of old age. They can be killed by physical injury however, or they may come to death from wasting away if after long eons of life they lose the will to live. Elves come of age at around fifty years old. They have far better vision and hearing than Men. They also have skills and abilities beyond what is possible for Men, and many can craft seemingly magical objects. Elves possess ethereal grace and various powers. Elves are light of foot, can travel long distances without leaving tracks, and often can walk lightly across snow where the boots of Men would sink. They do not require sleep, but are able to enter a waking meditative state to regain their strength

They mature mentally at a much faster rate than mortals (humans) while physically maturing much slower. Puberty is almost complete by age 50, though they are not considered full grown until 100. Once fully grown, they will no longer show any signs of physical aging. With that said, they will not die through natural causes (old age, illness, or disease) due to a natural resistance towards these factors; however, they can die in battle.

@mnkee Awesome ! Added Elves under fae!! :D

[TheIrishJJ]

@Emma Hey! I decided to check back on here seeing as I have more free time and saw this RP! Then I logged in, and saw the message/post from you! Could I still join? I'll admit that I haven't read the past 50 posts that have been done OOC, but I could get a character done pretty quickly. Is that okay? Thanks!

[Emma]

@TheIrishJJ Yes totally! RP is always open!

[Nightfury Kat]

@TheIrishJJ welcome back! (I was using a different s/n when last this game happened. Glad you're coming back!
Don't worry about the chat. Nothing super exciting. Just some bump chat and various passing mentioning about character concepts.

In other news, I only have a bit more to do to finish off my last character. Won't be able to do that for about an hour. Will happen tonight once I'm finally home.

Séamus ó Faoláin

Full Name: Séamus ó Faoláin

Nicknames/Alias/AKA: Too many to remember

Age: 134

Gender: Male

DOB: June 27, 1882

Occupation: Student

Race: Vampire

Hair Color: Brown

Eye Color: Brown

Height and Build: 6' 4", muscular

Other Appearance: Scar down his left bicep, scar down his right calf.

History/bio: Séamus and Ruaidhrí, identical twin brothers, were born to a working class Irish family in Cork, in 1882. They lived a relatively regular life - for a poor family - until one night in 1895. Their family's home was broken into by vampires, and all of his family except for him, his brother Ruaidhrí, and his sister Mary were killed. Mary was taken away, and the vampires, having fed enough off of their family, decided to turn Séamus and Ruaidhrí into vampires.

Séamus and Ruaidhrí traveled around Great Britain for three years until one night, when Séamus and Ruaidhrí attacked by a group of hunters. They managed to kill the hunters, the first humans they had killed. This had different effects on the two of them. Séamus loved the feeling of killing a human, and became sadistic and kill crazy. However, Ruaidhrí was distraught, and turned to religion. At this point, they separated. Séamus traveled all across Great Britain and Ireland, leaving a path of death as he went.

In 1900, Séamus decided that he would travel through the rest of Europe. He traveled all over Europe for over 100 years, never staying in one place for too long. It was whilst traveling that he discovered his love for languages, although he still speaks in a Irish accent whenever speaking English. He also managed to get a daylight charmed necklace from a witch in France shortly after leaving England, which he always wears. Over the years, he has also trained his body to make sure that he is never killed by a hunter, and can kill whomever he wants.

In 2014, Séamus found his brother Ruaidhrí, and they have been travelling together since, which has lead to Séamus having to kill less people, especially because of Ruaidhrí's newfound religion.

Séamus and Ruaidhrí have come to Gringore Academy to get a proper education, being too poor for one when they was younger, and they still look like they are in their late teens.

Family/Relationships:
Mother - Jonathan: died 1895
Father - Mary: died 1895
Older brother - Jonathan: died 1895
Identical twin brother - Ruaidhrí: living
Younger brother - Alexander: died 1895
Younger sister - Mary: Location unknown. Presumed deceased.

Other/Extra: Séamus can speak English, French, Spanish, Italian, Irish, German, Czech, Romansh, Latin, Polish, Russian, and Hungarian.

Ruaidhrí ó Faoláin

However, Ruaidhrí was distraught, and turned to religion. At this point, they separated. Ruaidhrí became very religious, and discovered Judaism.

In 1899, Ruaidhrí decided to move to Germany to live with more Jews, and try to be as pious a Jew as possible, at least, as pious a Jew as it is possible for someone who feeds on blood to be. On his way, he gained a daylight charmed ring that he still wears. In 1914, with the beginning of the Great War, Ruaidhrí escaped to the Netherlands, and stayed there after the war. However, when it was invaded in 1940 he was captured, and taken to a concentration camp. He never attempted escape, and was freed when the concentration camps were liberated at the end of the war. At this point, Ruaidhrí decided to see what living in the Soviet Union was like. However, after a few years, he decided that he didn't like this, and moved to a Jewish community in the United Kingdom.

In 2014, Ruaidhrí found his brother Séamus, and they have been travelling together since. Ruaidhrí still attempts to keep up his Judaism to the best of his ability.

Séamus and Ruaidhrí have come to Gringore Academy to get a proper education, being too poor for one when they was younger, and they still look like they are in their late teens.

@Emma There we go! I decided to do twins this time, tweaked the story and made them a bit more interesting.

[mnkee]

@Emma

Awesome ! Added Elves under fae!! :D

Thanks! :)
I based my character off of one of the main characters in the story I have been slowly writing. This roleplay will be a good opportunity to work on my writing skills and get a feel for this character.

Sapphira Elvron Lux

Sapphira Elvron Lux

"What better way to live life than to live it to the betterment of others."

Nicknames: Saph for short or Lux, which is the Latin word for "light"

Aliases: Samantha Greene, Melissa Harrington, and Jade Morris

Age: 121

Gender: Female

DOB: Spring of 1895

Occupation: Transfer student & Guardians applicant

Race: Fae • Light elf

Hair Color: Platinum blonde

Eye Color: Crystal blue

Height and Build: 5'10" • Tall, lithe, & lightly toned

Other Appearance: Thanks to her elven genes that inhibit aging once maturity is reached, she looks like she is only in her twenties despite being much older. Her skin in notably pale, much like her nearly white hair and extremely light blue eyes. She has small pointed "elf" ears that she is able to hide under her hair. Her appearance is captivating and feigns innocence. Her voice is eloquent and feminine

History/bio:
Many elves consider themselves superior to other races, human or supernatural, and would turn a blind eye to things that didn't effect them. However, the Lux family, which has lineage that can be traced back as far as England during the early Middle Ages, humbled themselves and became guardians of all races. They fought to protect supernatural beings from the humans, to protect humans from supernatural beings, and to protect supernatural beings from themselves. They essentially maintained peace for the good of all. Many generations prior to Sapphira, the Lux family became a part of the Guardians, an ancient organization of protectors of the supernatural world that has been around longer than the Gringore Academy.

Sapphira grew up in a small community of Supernatural beings on the English countryside. She is an only child, born to a family of Guardians. Her mother was formerly a Guardian before Sapphira was born, while her father remained an active duty Guardian. From a young age, her mother instilled in her the chivalric virtues upheld by their family, of bravery, courtesy, and honor. Her mother taught her about both the supernatural world and the human world. By puberty, age fifty for elves, Sapphira was a wealth of knowledge and was only beginning to learn combat in earnest. Her father would come home as often as his Guardian duties would allow, which was not that often. Her mother was her teacher, best friend, and confidant. When she was not being taught by her mother, she would roughhouse with the local male "children," or explore the nearby forests on foot or on horseback.

Sapphira's once peaceful life changed in 1999, the year she turned 104. It was the year she was suppose to go to the Guardian institute in London, England to take the test to become an official Guardian. Was being the operative word. That year her father was killed by malicious hunters. The hunter got away. Sapphira, of course, postponed going to the institute while the Supernatural community laid low and the Guardians upped their taskforce. Six years went by with seemingly little to no abnormal activity. During that time, she took on leadership positions within the community and continued training with her mother. She was getting ready to go to the institute when the hunters struck again. Sapphira's mother was killed in 2005 not too far from their home. Her world and the world of her Supernatural community fell to pieces.

In the past eleven years, she has moved around a lot. She has spent time with her uncles and aunt in Italy, Romania, and Iceland respectively. She has done some traveling of her own as well. Everywhere she went the darkness of her past seemed to follow her like a shadow. She wanted more than anything to become the Guardian that her parents trained her to be. She wanted to protect others as they had done, even if it eventually led to her death. What better way to live life than to live it to the betterment of others. With some convincing, her uncle in Romania let her attend the Guardian institute in Timișoara and shadow him at his job for a few years. She eventually decided upon transferring to the up and coming Gringore Academy.

Family/Relationships:
The Lux family can be traced as far back as England during the early Middle Ages (5th to 15th century).
Father • Deceased in 1999
Mother • Deceased in 2005
Two uncles • Father's side • Both Guardians • One in Italy & one in Romania
Aunt • Mother's side • A Guardian • In Iceland
Grandparents • Lost track of or deceased

Other/Extra:
She knows enough Romanian and Italian to hold a basic conversation.
She loves horses and is a fairly good horseback rider.

[Nightfury Kat]

I got home super late, then fell asleep at the computer. I'm going to try to get home earlier today to finish my sheet and get posts to people waiting for them, but some things may fall through the cracks.

[vietmyke]

@Emma

Done! I made a couple of changes that I forgot to do, but it's nothing major.

[Emma]

Ok I am finishing up the OP for the IC! It will be up in an hour or so!

[Nightfury Kat]

Gah! Sorry I'm delaying. My company had its annual shut down last week, and coming out of that is always really hectic for me since my area doesn't work but an area that feeds into mine does. I'm slowly finishing up my GiT (her backstory is turning out to be quite the thing, but almost complete) and I'll start working on a post for my twins to at least get up sometime tomorrow or Thursday.

[Emma]

I'll be making my second character once the IC starts moving.

[TheIrishJJ]

I've posted the first IC for both of my twins. If you want your male character to be in the same room as Séamus and Ruaidhrí, feel free to put them there. First come, first serve, and there are two spaces. Also, if you want to make it so that one of the twins sits next to you in the assembly, just type that in and [@Mention] me!
