I'm interested in this, I hope your computer isn't broken, I'll see about getting a CS up in the morning.
It was broken, but I got it all sorted out.
EDIT: Also, if anyone has some more monster ideas be sure to let me know. I have a butt-load that aren't on the list of "mains".
Appearance: When not wearing his disguise, he has a brown hair styled into some sort of quiff. He also has piercing blue eyes, a sort of slender/muscular build and likes to wear fancy clothes including bowties and dress shirts. He stand around 6 feet tall, and has a thick English accent. While disguised he wears a long, elegant, black frock jacket which is always unbuttoned, black skinny jeans, black combat boots, a silver-gray suit-vest under the coat. To hide his face he wears an incredibly eerie silver-mask.
Name: Marcus White
Alias: Midnight
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Height: 6'1
Weight: 200lbs
Personality: Arrogant, Psychotic, Rash, Comedic, Insane
Biography: Marcus White was born to a mother who was addicted and died from a cocaine overdose when he was 8, and a father who committed suicide out of grief from his wife's death a few months later. This caused Marcus to become orphaned, but instead of being "stuck" in an orphanage he ran and lived on the streets for most of his life. He learned how to defend himself from various thugs on the street, and was tossed into a life full of stealing, beating, and other crime. This eventually led him to move into a crack-house full of some of his fellow "Lost Children" and do the bidding of drug dealers to have a place to live, and to stay alive. He lived at the crack-house until he was around 17 when it was raided by a police force and they were being arrested. Marcus escaped to the neighboring Gotham City to get away from the criminals and hopefully to start his life anew.
He started working at a local bowling alley washing the floors, and managing equipment. This would give him some spare time on using his imagination to craft little devices to aid him in his everyday tasks. This devices helped him clean toilets, wash floors, clean carpets. You name it. Life was looking up for Marcus and he was saving up some money so he could rent his first apartment (he was currently sleeping on a cot at the bowling alley). His past became his past, and the day of his 21st birthday came. He had finally saved up enough for his own apartment, and moved in. While putting away what little belongings he had someone from his past broke into his apartment and stabbed him fifteen times all over and left him for dead, while leaving him incredibly scarred around his chest, torso, legs, and arms. They proclaimed it was because he had fled the crack-house years before, and betrayed his "family" and that they wanted him dead. Luckily, he was discovered by another tenant and he was brought to the local hospital and saved, but only narrowly. Knowing that the "family" would still hunt him down and kill him he began taking self defense lessons, and learning Brazilian Jiujitsu from a local teacher in Gotham.
The months passed and he become more well-trained in the art, and was capable of defending himself but also quickly became one of the best students at the school. While walking home one night after his lessons he was approached by one of the "family" who brandished a knife on him. The attacker went to stab him, but Marcus broke his wrist incredibly swiftly, and shattered his left kneecap causing the attacker to collapse the ground. He demanded information on why the "Family" wanted him dead so bad and the attacker confirmed it was because of him leaving the town on the night of the bust. The attacker also revealed that their leader, the man who had taken Marcus into the crack-house as a home, Alexander Pherron was the one responsible for his mother overdosing on cocaine. Marcus vowed to get revenge and walked away from his now neutralized attacker.
He moved to a different location in Gotham near a water-front, and began his hunt for Alexander. He had learned that Alex had moved to Gotham City to ensure that Marcus was dealt with. Marcus tracked him down, knocked him out and strapped him to a chair in an abandoned warehouse. He had wore a brown paper bag over his head to conceal his identity and sometime during the knowledge of his mother's killer, he snapped mentally. He began torturing Alex by cutting off a couple of his fingers, and pulling out his teeth with pliers. When he finally got his confession recorded on tape he stabbed Alex in the throat with a screwdriver and killed him. He looked at his wristwatch at this moment and noticed the time to be 12:00am and thus became the birth of his alias, Midnight.
He slowly then dispatched the remaining members of the Family in various, gruesome methods. Some involving torture, some just involving brutal killing without remorse. This is when he donned his outfit of the long black frock coat, and the rest of his black ensemble and the eerie silver mask that was similar to what the Phantom Of The Opera wore, but this covered his entire face. He only targets people who commit atrocities like rape, murder, etc. He doesn't target innocent people but somewhere along his long line of killing it caused him to go a bit mentally unstable, and psychotic. He enjoys the killing, but will also defend the innocent to his last breath.
Abilities: Trained extensively in Brazilian Jiujitsu and Swordfighting.
Extra Notes: He is also armed with a machete that is adorned with a white blade.
I'll hold back on the gritty, and gory. Just setting up the back story is all.

Sorry, was computer-less for a while.
All profiles accepted. That being said. Anyone have any ideas how to get things rolling? More in terms of set-up than anything. I'm just making sure everyone is okay with the Jack The Ripper plot-thread.

London, England - February 14th, 1888
A young woman is walking the streets alone at night. The streets are blanketed in fog, and we can hear the sound of cats fighting in the distance. She hurries along the stone road awaiting the warmth of her small home. The woman decides to cut down a small alleyway to make her journey quicker. She is being followed. From the corner of her eye she spots a man dressed in very fancy garbs, but covering his face. She quickens her pace, as does the figure. She turns a corner and gasps.
She has been stabbed in the stomach. The mysterious man standing in front of her, even though he was behind her mere moments ago. He twists the knife, and slides it awkwardly across her belly spilling her insides. She collapses to the ground dead. The man then kneels down beside the corpse and begins eating her organs. Every few minutes looking around to make sure nobody is watching.

Queen Victoria creates a secret order in 1888 to deal with "supernatural" phenomenon after the rise of murders from Jack The Ripper. The Order hunts down, and kills anything that could endanger the lives of the people of England. The Order has been around for a year at this point, and the role-play will start at the tracking down of Jack The Ripper and killing him (he isn't human in this roleplay). Each player will create a character set in the Victorian Era that is part of this Order for various reasons. I'll throw up a character sheet below this. But before that, a little more information. Mainly monsters, and what-not, be warned. These aren't all the monsters we'll encounter. Just a handful.
The Order Headquarters
An abandoned church in the middle of the city. This is where the Order lives, sleeps, and eats. Once you're inducted into the Order you're considered deceased and wiped from every record known to man. You are no longer permitted to see family, or communicate with loved ones. Your life belongs to the Order until the day you die. The building has various rooms. The main room that is run-down in-case people break in, and the real base which is underground and concealed away with a hidden passage behind a bookshelf in the old library. In the actual base is a Library, Kitchen, Main Area, Training Room, and Blacksmith.
Vampires
Creatures of the night. Vampires are undead beings who feed on the blood of the living. They're highly dangerous, and are difficult to kill when in numbers. In the Bloodletting lore; The vampires started when Count Dracula/Vlad The Impaler sold his soul to the devil for immortality. The Devil tricked Vlad, and instead cursed him with a different type of immortality. To live, Vlad would have to feed on the blood of the living once a day to keep his immortality in check. Eventually, it was discovered from Vlad himself that the curse could pass between himself and his victims. He would find attractive pregnant women, and bite them. He wouldn't kill them, but instead turn them into the cursed creature that he was. They would be put under his spell, and he would claim them as his bride and they would provide him with children who were born as vampires. Eventually, he vanished but the curse lived on through his generations of children whom passed the curse down by biting their victims. It was found that they can be killed by any means that would normally dispatch a living person. They are only immortal with that they can live forever if they feed. They can still starve, and be killed quite easily.
Purebloods
The direct blood-descendants of Count Dracula. They are born undead hence the deformed look of them. Not many are left in existence, but a few still remain. Unlike their "turned" counterparts, the Purebloods are capable of feeding on and turning the corpses of the deceased. They are extremely agile, and are extremely strong and have been seen ripping people in half with their hands. Purebloods are not so easily killed, but it can be done. Victor Van Helsing, the eldest member of the Order is the only member to have successfully done this. He explains that the only way to kill one is to remove the head with a weapon made of silver, separate them and burn both parts with Holy Fire. Normal fire won't work, and if not done quick enough the body will regenerate. However, Victor's encounter with the creature injured him so much that it resulted in him taking control of the Order's Blacksmith as he wasn't capable of hunting anymore.
Werewolves
Men by day, wolf by night. Unlike your typical "werewolf", the Werewolves of Bloodletting are unique in their own aspect. Every night they turn into this beast, and only a few people have been known to be able to control the wolf-side of them. They also pass the curse on through biting, similar to vampires. They are extremely agile, extremely strong, and also incredibly intelligent. They cannot differentiate friend from foe when in beast form and will pretty much kill and eat anything in its path. They can be killed with any weapon made from silver as long as it either destroys the heart, or the brain. The ones who have been known to control their wolf form have also been known to change at will, anytime of the day.
Ghouls
Another creature similar to the Vampire, but instead of feasting on blood they feed on the flesh of living creatures, mainly humans. The first notice of Ghouls were during the Dark Ages when the Bubonic Plague decimated everything and in turn infected humans with the disease. The infected either died, or were turned into this freakish beings. Reduced to animal instinct with the sole purpose of feeding on human flesh. They can only be killed by destroying the brain, and are only made from when a human is introduced to a severe disease/plague.
Demons
Demons are souls that have been tortured in hell to the point of "breaking" and turning into demons. They manifest themselves by possessing a living human. They have minor telekinetic abilities which allows them to toss objects, and people around without touching them. They can leave their host whenever they please and possess any other human in the vicinity. They can be trapped and rendered powerless with a Devil's Trap which allows for easier exorcism which sends the Demon back to Hell. They can also be injured with Holy Water and killed with weapons blessed by a priest, but this also kills the host in the process.

Name: Marcus Van Helsing
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Primary Weapon: Silver Tulwar
Secondary Weapon: 1849 Colt Revolver
Profession: Sword Fighting
Bio: Marcus is the grandson of Victor Van Helsing one of the original members of the Order. He is the only living relative next to his grandfather, and joined the Order because he didn't see a point of dedicating his life to working for someone else, getting married, and having children. He loves hunting monsters and he's passionate about it, even though he can be a little arrogant at times. He is now the Leader of the Order which was passed down to him after his grandfather was injured severely in a monster hunt.
Outfit:
Purple Frock Coat
Black Cotton Trousers
Pointy Toe Skull Boots
Appearance:
It's been twenty years since the defeat of Lord Voldemort, and the wizarding world was ushered into an era of peace. There's still whispers, and rumors of faithful followers of Voldermort's regime floating around, and most of them are either killed, or imprisoned in Azakaban once caught wind of by the Ministry Of Magic which is being helmed none other by Kinglsey Shacklebolt, the Minister Of Magic himself. Things are seemingly back to normal, but the whispers & rumors can sometimes be true.
One of Voldermort's faithful Death Eaters avoided capture and imprisonment in Azakaban as his identity was fairly unknown yet he goes by the name of Mordus, and he was thought to have been killed during the Battle Of Hogwarts. He is slowly gathering forces and is planning an all out attack on this new wizarding world, and Hogwarts as well. As a sort of revenge scheme, and a way to fulfill what Voldemort wanted.
So, that's essentially my idea. That being said, none of the serious attacks/murders/etc will be happening anytime soon. Dark stuff will going on in the background, and are still very much whispers & rumors. Nothing exactly confirmed right away. So, if you're interested in joining up then please state your interest, and possibly toss a character sheet in here for fun.
Yes, you can be a teacher that's already in the books/films.
Name: (The name of your character)
Age: (11-17 for Students, 18 onwards for other characters)
House: (Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin.)
Wand: (Go here, and type your character's name into the "Random Wand Generator" box. Post your wand details in this slot.)
Pet: (Students only. Your pet can be any breed of cat, owl, toad, or frog.)
Appearance: (I'll allow photos of actors if you'd rather not describe your character.)
Bio: (Some brief backstory about your character.)
Name: Mordus
Age: 54
House:
Wand: Phoenix Feather, Mahogany 14 3/4 inches, rather bendy. Intricately carved.
Appearance:
Bio: Mordus was one of the younger Death Eater's in Lord Voldermort's service, and was ultimately thought dead during the Battle Of Hogwarts when Neville Longbottom collapsed the main bridge with explosives. He now wears his Death Eater robes, and mask full time to hide the severe, and disfiguring scars and burns that he sustained from the explosions and subsequent fall. He's now formed a group of dark wizards who are slowly, but surely working their way towards some grand schemes behind the scenes. Their group is nothing but rumors amongst the Wizarding World right now. Nothing is concrete evidence.
Name: Clarke Winters
Age: 16
House:
Wand: Leprechaun Hair, Yew 16 1/4 inches, long & swishy. roughly carved.
Appearance:
Bio: Clarke is the only one is his family to be sorted into Ravenclaw. The rest were dropped into Slytherin, but somehow his intelligence gave him the push in Ravenclaw. He doesn't have many friends at Hogwarts and tends to stick to himself and his studies. He rarely wears his house robes unless required to by the Headmaster. Last year was the last year that Professor McGonagall was Headmistress of Hogwarts, so this coming year was going to be something different. He just hoped he'd make some friends this year.
Yes, that means anyone out there can apply for the Headmaster position if they so choose. Also, the roleplay will start at Platform 9 3/4 for students and then people who won't be going to Hogwarts with their characters can roleplay anywhere else in the world (except Hogwarts, unless you're a teacher or staff member at the school.)
