Monster and Supernatural Extermination Squad

[IceHeart]

STORY

Welcome to the year 2X58 when the world has changed quite a bit during an event known as the Phasing. The Phasing was when the veil between dimensions ruptured, torn, or else just failed to keep things that were suppose to be hidden from each other, occurred. Needless to say all havoc broke loose when the Phasing first occurred but thanks to the swift action of various organizations the veil was repaired but not before many other entities had forced or tripped their way through to the human dimension. Suddenly having to deal with strange beings and supernatural entities humans decided to make to create special units devoted to stopping these new threats and dealing with various supernatural problems that arise. Most of these groups are human but one organization decided on creating their own special monster/supernatural squad to deal with situations.

Not all these otherworldly/fantasy beings dislike the human world and some have even decided on helping out by joining the Monster and Supernatural Extermination Squad. Some are more pressed into service but the fact is this group was created with the idea that creatures not originally of this world would be better suited to dealing with otherworldly problems. The members of this elect group have been given their own special compound where they can live in peace while they are not on a mission. The compound is accommodated to their specific needs, each resident having their own special room in the facility.

Edge City: The city where a good portion of the story takes place, this city was hit quite hard by The Phasing and has become rather infested with other dimensional creatures. It is also still one of the most unstable locations on the world with dimensions rifts still appearing from time to time, making it even more chaotic. Because of the crazy nature of the area it was thought to be the best place for the Squad to be located so they could interfere when necessary. As the area has been rather 'infested' by human standards, there are certain areas where monster communities have sprung up, though most are shadow groups at this point in time. Edge City was not the original name of the town, but after The Phasing everyone feels like they are living on the edge so the name stuck.

The Pandora Complex: The Pandora Complex is the name of the 'apartment' complex where members of the squad live while off-duty. The residents comprise of Monster residents and human caretakers for the most part, these caretakers of course being part of the organization behind the squad's construction who are there to make the lives of the residents comfortable, while also keeping an eye on them. The complex comes complete with a gym, swimming pool, indoor greenhouse, eatery, and even a few convenience stores.

Anyway there are more ideas in the works but the general rundown is you are a member of this Squad, monster or human, that gets called upon to take care of special otherworldly cases. Setting is slightly futuristic but pretty close to modern day. When not kicking monster butt you can interact in the compound, have visitors, maybe even sneak out into the human world for a little fun and excitement. Well if interesting give the thread a post.

I am definitely in. Okay to be a male Arachne?

[AgentFallenSoul]

[Dark Angel]

I'm interested.

[Maria 127]

sounds good im interested.

[Monochromatic]

Interested.

[Zambza]

I'm interested.

[IceHeart]

@nightfall - I don't see why not.

Glad to see so much interest, I'll try to flesh out a few things here before attempting to make a main thread.

[knighthawk]

I'm looking to play a minotaur or a male Gorgon.

[Griffintaur]

This seems pretty interesting. I shall definitely join this. I just have one question. I will be using an anthropomorphic Griffin as a character. Is it mandatory he be a part of the squad, or can he be of a neutral alignment? Meaning he's not with the humans, nor against them, just simply attempting to survive solo.

[I am the Black Wizards]

This pleasantly surprised me. I was expecting another "kill al the two dimensional evil monsters" kind of games. But this could be fun. Especially if not all the cases are simple matters of destruction or banishment.

[IceHeart]

@ Tharraleos Polemistis: The problem I see about being part of a neutral alignment is that you'll kind of be stuck out of the loop quite often. You could still live at the Pandora Complex but refuse to be an 'agent' I suppose. Basically I just don't want you to make an outside neutral character and then feel like you have no one to interact with on a regular basis. I'll leave it up to you but I will say being affiliated with the squad would be your best bet.

[AgentFallenSoul]

Name: Lilith Ce'takchs-ni
Race: Demon
Appearance:

Lilith Ce

Lilith has natural snow white hair and huge red cat like irises that contrast the color. The intensity of her eyes make her seem evil almost, making her almost unapproachable until noticing her Aura. Her eyes are fierce and piercing to the soul, when she looks at you it's almost as if she is trying to look through you into the windows of your very soul. They are an interesting match around her hair, but fit almost perfectly it seems. Her silky hair only makes her crazed and almost sadistic look even more evil. Honestly she could be mistaken for a vampire almost, having the complexion of a ghost if she were to have red eyes, not mention she drain to the sight of blood, not so much she likes it but it interest her.

She smiles constantly and enjoys looking insane, she uses it to her advantage when it comes to fighting. Though inside she doesn't like that she smiles so often, she doesn't stop herself. Almost anything can make her crack a smile. She will laugh as well, almost as the stupidest of things, and showing her pearly whites. Making herself seem insane and radical, when really she tries her best to think things through. Unless she really does lose herself in fighting, which she finds happening more and more often. She doesn't mind it actually, she prefers the others think her insane and mad, better than them trying to make conversation with her, which she doesn't want. She has a weird voice to match, deeper than a lot of other girls and sort of raspy like, but high pitched enough to disprove any thoughts about her not being a girl, other than her body.

She also has a very young looking appearance, almost mistaking her as a young teen and not a 1250 year old. She has and ovalish face that matches her all around weird and freaky eyes that almost make her look like a deranged lunatic, which of course isn't to far off from what she really is deep, deep, deep down. She has a snow white complexion that could almost make her blend in with a pure white wall, all around she has the complexion of casper the ghost, but this comes from a skin condition that she had, hereditary from her mother, that makes it hard for her skin to hold color, meaning she can't tan very well, what so ever truthfully.

Age: 1250

Gender: Female

Bio:
Lilith has seen the spoils of being a demon, and to her she can no longer stand by and witness a slaughter of others like this. There is however another side that also wanted her to become rogue. She knew no family, no friends to stand by when she thought first of how bad being a demon was, everything, the pain, the mindset, it was all a terrible experience. Damn near broke her mind to the point of no return. She left, but she was cursed, or rather her mentor, cursed her. She is forced to wear an eye patch, what lays behind that eye patch is simply an eye, but it's iris sits in the form of a star. When the eye patch is removed her true demon side is appears over her body, taking control almost. She has lived with cure for the better part of 500 years, and there are many times that she has screwed things up by revealing, this side. For now she has traveled this place, in order to feed the demon within her.

However, this did not go over well with her father, who happens to be an elder demon, or that of a demon who has extreme status within the demon society. When the word of his daughter going rogue was heard, he ended up sending almost half of his force after her. She's fought for the greater part of her life trying to get away from her father and the demon society. Because of this, she has multiple scars on her body, most of them cuts, but she does have the brand of her father on her wrist, forever branding her the daughter of and elder, for this, most other demons on the spot will know who she is and what she is. There is no hiding that she is a demon, she is forever covered in the fact that she is the daughter of an elder, and for this reason, it the reason she continues to fight.

A second being if you will inside Lilith arose when Lilith started to change sides, becoming a rogue. Lilith only calls her Sis, but in truth it is the darker side of her soul, no longer craving to kill other kinds, but instead craving to kill other demons. It is not all blood lusting for all demons, Sis only wants to kill those who have done wrong to both the angels and humans, other rogue demons were always safe around her, but it didn't always seem like that. Now she helps the "good" side fight against other monsters and get's to kill them without raising alarms. But do not mistake Sis, she will not hesitate to kill almost anything if it stands in the way of her killing the target. Sis is something that comes from the darkest pits of Lilith, her true side, that even she fears, and because of this curse, she is constantly tormented by this fact.

Skills/Powers:
*Scythe Wielder- The scythe itself is an enchanted hell metal almost damn near impossible to find anymore. It is fireproof and heat proof as well as extremely hard to break. When light shines upon the weapon, it glows a red purple. The scythe collapses into a ring of a black star that fits on only Lilith's finger. To remove the weapon, you must kill the user, the user being Lilith, and cut from her middle finger on her right hand.

Lilith are able to demonstrate a natural aptitude for the ways of the scythe. She is able to wield a scythe with great proficiency in speed, power, and skill, allowing herself to perform feats such as stopping and deflecting bullets, decimate large objects or areas, cutting through hard materials such as steel, and even hold back her strength to deal damage to their foes without killing them. Lilith is also able to operate with little or no effort, deliver skillful strikes to weak points with great precision and cut only and exactly what they want. This ability also allows her to become naturally skilled with multiple scythes or any bladed weapon regardless of shape or size to suit their needs in combat. Lilith is incredibly fast weapon control may allow them to bypass obstacles in order to cut their intended target. This is only one half of her full ability, second being enhanced condition, being already put at a huge disadvantage when it came to using a scythe for combat. Lilith is at the peak physical and mental condition of her human side. She can achieve great amounts of strength without any super-/unnatural methods. This usually entails that she is are faster, stronger, more intelligent and overall superior to a regular human being without being obviously supernatural. Lilith is capable of running at the speed inhuman, her stamina much like her inhuman speed is extremely increased. Her strength is superhuman, she is able to carry 1500 pounds of weight with her arms. She has increased hearing, better than human trackers, and her sense of smell is also increased. She basically has the ability of a super solider, gained from training with her mentor and being the daughter of an elder demon. She also wears an eye patch over her left eye, this allows her to fight at a huge disadvantage making her even better in the way of the scythe and hand to hand combat. This means when she takes the eye patch off, her combat skills and scythesmanship sky rocket to the levels never seen before.

Other Things of Interest:
*Personality:
Lilith is a very quiet soul, almost rarely does she talk, She hates life and everything about it, the happiness, the joy of feeling the warmth of others, like she did when she was alive. She use to show compassion but now its just simply nothingness, no regret, no anger, no happiness, just a feeling deep down of sorrow. The sorrow of never being able to take back what she did so many many many years ago, the sorrow of leaving the loved ones long dead. Also allows herself to not be the center of attention which she does not favor when not fighting. She likes the quiet in general and nothing more, she will try to end a fight as quick as possible to return to silence. She does however have a much darker side to her that many others do not know about. Her demon side, though she can hide it extremely well, craves violence and the sight of death. She loves fighting no matter how much she tries to hate it, and this side appears on the battle field. What arises is something that little to anyone alive has seen, a second personality within Lilith, a true monster. She appears on the battlefield and this will be someone you wish not to meet, for blood lust resides in this version of her, a person that Lilith calls, Sis. She can be heard sometimes whispering to Sis, arguing with her.

I have no idea what your standards are so sorry if things are to short or to long

[Dark Angel]

Is it ok if my character was looped into this unwillingly? Like, she didn't want to join but something happened that made her, and slowly she gets more comfortable with the group.

Male
Bio:
WIP
Skills/Powers
As a serpent folk and adventurer, he is in peak physical condition, capable of lifting three times his weight over his head. His lower half is an arboreal prehensile tail capable of supporting and lifting his own full body weight and his weight again in supplies or people. His scales provide a minor form of armor to protect from things such as needle strikes and the fragile hollow fangs of more common venomous creatures.

Paralyzing: This is both a magical effect from locking his eyes on an opponent, he can not turn people to stone but he can hold another in his gaze to be quickly dispatched. He wears goggles when not in combat to screen this effect. His venom, however, is a natural neuro-toxin that causes limited paralysis but has a half life of 24 hours, 48 if refrigerated.

Other Things of Interest
He has earned a degree in culinary arts and has published a few books on cooking for non-humans, both how to cook for mythical guests and how to cook your mythical guests to others.

@AgentFallenSoul: I have not problem with long bios although with the length the grammar appears to have suffered along with a few typos. The character seems interesting but obvious grammar and spelling issues are one of my pet peeves just to warn ya.

@Dark Angel: Yes your character can be an unwilling participant. Makes things more interesting.

@Knighthawk: Got a few interesting characters there. Good to see.

[Nightfall]

Name:
Raymond Arachnos, but goes by 'Slinger' or 'Ray'

Race:
Arachne

Appearance:


Age:
25

Gender:
Male

Bio:
Raymond comes from a long line of Arachne royalty. Noble aristocrats, the Arachnos family were known advocators of anti-human relations and the forced subjugation of species they felt to be inferior. Raymond however did not share many of his family’s ideals. He instead chose peaceful co-existence. He soon discovered that it wasn’t for noble reasons though. As someone who liked to torture others and have them bend and break to his will, he couldn’t do that if supernatural creatures were seen as enemies. And he legitimately held no ill will to anyone or anything. Only a deep love and respect for all life, and how it could help better his sadistic urges and knowledge. All that mattered was learning, and pleasure. And lucky for him, the two could co-inside.
He was soon found and forcefully recruited into the Extermination Squad. At first he was unwilling, but when he discovered the free reign he could have and the specimens he would have access to, he soon came around.

Skills/Powers:
~Wall Climbing (self explanatory)
~Swift Movement (capable of quick and silent movement)
~Presence Suppression (The Arachne are naturally light on their feet and adapt predators, allowing them to not be noticed if hiding in shadows)
~Intellect (Having studied many species though…less that savoury means…he has great knowledge on many species)
~String Shooting (Raymond uses this Arachne staple in a number of ways, like trip wires, precision shooting to disable targets, binding, etc)
~Venom (Capable of delivering powerful neuro-toxin into something system by biting into a fleshy part with his sharp teeth, paralyzing their system and leaving them incapable of talk or movement, but alive. Multiple injections will kill most targets.)

Other Things of Interest:
Personality wise, Raymond is very passive and detests confrontation. If a target can be taken down without being killed, he will advocate that option. But just because he doesn't like violence or death doesn't mean he doesn't have a sadistic side. Raymond has been known to play with his victims, torturing them for prolonged amounts of time. Silent most of the time around others, and cold in general. He is far from a people person (read spider) and prefers to keep to himself.

Role wise, he is the scout, interrogator, and the alive-but-silent take-down specialist within the group.

I still need to finish the bio, but this is the jist of it. I'll make the edits and stuff after I wake up later.

Syn

Name: Syn
Race: Winged Serpent
Age: Undetermined
Gender: Male

Appearance: As a human, Syn only stands at roughly five foot three with a rather slender form. Nothing on him as a human really stands out, his hair is plainly black, his eyes a dull shade of green, his skin only slightly tanned without any apparent flaws to be noted. He does have a lip ring on the left side of his bottom lip, but otherwise... there is really nothing special to report. It is only when he takes on his true form that he takes on any real appealing 'beauty', at least in his eyes. No matter what size he decides to take, his scales always have an intense amount of green and lighter undertones of red. His feathered wings often vary in shades of green and reds, but it is only for the feathers that sprout around his face and neck that are ever solid red.

Bio: WIP

Skills/Powers:
Shapeshifting; Considered one of his more minor abilities. Syn is able to freely change between the shape of a human and his normal form. It also seems that with this ability he is able to change the size of his normal form, which is probably a good thing, otherwise he would never be able to relax in his serpent state. He only seems to be able to do these things with his 'shapeshifting' and to top it off, if he changes too much within a given day, he gets tired very quickly and -very- hungry. More so than usual, somehow.

Poison; Like many snakes, Syn has a bit to do with poison. He has two different kinds of toxins that he can either spit or inject into others. The first one being paralyzing. The second being corrosive. It is undetermined how effective or long-lasting they are, as it all depends on the situation and the person being attacked.

Lightning; In his serpent form, Syn is able to flap his wings insanely fast, generating a great deal of static electricity. He then sucks the electricity into his mouth and can use it as a 'breath' attack. But he can gather electricity from other sources and use it in other ways as well, like a lightning bolt or a powerful jolting shock to another. He can even cause paralysis with his lightning attacks. His ability for electricity though is not limited to his serpent form, he is able to use it in his human shape as well, but he requires an outside source to collect it/generate it.

Other Things of Interest;
Syn, much like any of his species, has an intense diet of only fruit. He eats it constantly and it is almost unheard of to see him not eating fruit at any given time, even while working. While it does appear he can stomach other things, they make him very sick easily. Those who give him fruit easily gain his favor in just about everything, though this 'favor' generally only lasts as long as the given fruit lasts. When he changes shape far too often in a set amount of time without eating enough, he looses weight drastically! But somehow when he does not change shape all that often, he seems to retain a normal weight in his human skin, much despite how much he eats day in and day out.

In his serpent form, without the shrinking modifications of his 'shapeshifting', is a hazard to everything. He is far too large to be of any good unless destroying everything and everyone is the plan. Since being in the human world, he has never once shown the true size of his form, merely stating that there really is just 'not enough space'.

[Chenzor]

I'm still cooking up a character in my mind. Hope it's okay if I wait for the OOC to post it?
