As Raymond worked on food he started to sing a Spanish folk song he learned from traveling, singing with emotion on his face, Charlie laughed and rolled his eyes. Raymond was a rather good singer. He was good at pretty much anything he did if you give him time to practice. "Can I take the car to school? I don't want everyone to think I'm a weirdo with my dad singing Spanish songs to us..." Charlie said, flipping pancakes on to the plate. Raymond shook his head. "Nonono, you're not touching Beautiful." Raymond said, walking to put the plates of food on to the kitchen table. The Chase family owned a dark purple Dodge Challenger, and Ray called it Beautiful. It was his dream car ever since he started working for his dad long ago.

"And the city of Seattle would be blessed to have such a soothing and clear voice serenade to it." Ray said jokingly. He then heard his other son, Eric walking in to the room, setting down the paper. "Morning, Kid." He said to him, "Kid" was his nickname to him. Ray turned to look at him, not really liking that smug look in his eye.. "What are you up to?" Ray asked cautiously, looking at Ana to see if she had any idea.

"What? Oh, nothing... Just met the new neighbor..." he said, trying to hide his grin by shoving a pancake in to his mouth. Ana tried to follow suit, but Ray stopped the young her. "Use your fork and knife, Bello." He said, "Bello" meant beautiful in Italian. He had all his kids sitting down and eating, Eric talking, Charlie eating and reading the newspaper, and Ana humming a song stuck in her head... But he was missing one. "Where's Jamie?" Ray asked, starting to put items in the sink.

Out of all the children, Jamie was the strongest... but also the one that frustrated him beyond end. He couldn't blame her. His wife's death did a toll on this happy family... But Ray wasn't going to talk about her, or sulk because of it... She wouldn't have wanted that. For any of them.

"I'll get her..." Charlie said, rising and messing up Ana's hair playfully. Although Jamie and Ana were adopted, he treated them like blood relatives. This family was all about different, and diverse. Raymond nodded. "Alright, once you guys are done, get your backpacks and get ready to pile in to the car." he said to the two that were still at the table.

---

Charlie made his way upstairs.. He really didn't want to deal with Jamie's attitude. He knew she was going to have it. And he knew she was going to give Dad lip... but that was just her way of coping, he guessed. He knocked on her door. "Hey, Jamie... Breakfast is getting cold." he said, listening for a response.

---

Another year without having her mom's advice on what to wear. Another year she wasn't there to hand her her lunch and drive her to school. Another year of being in absolute misery... It wasn't fair. Why did she have all the bad luck? She just chose a simple look. A band t-shirt with a flannel over it, worn jeans, and converse. He dark brown hair was in a ponytail, and she went without makeup, like she did. She was a very pretty girl. He then heard a knock, and groaned out of annoyance. "I'll be out soon!" She called out, looking at her table... She had a picture of her family. A picture of her brothers and sisters, laughing at the beach, a picture of her true dad Raymond lifting her up, her face full of joy... and a picture of her and her mother, hugging each other... And then there was a letter.

Before she passed away, Marie left everyone a letter to read to say goodbye, and to read when they needed the comfort...She read it every night... and she knew that Charlie, Eric, and Ana read theirs (Ana was still a bit confused on where mom was, but she did miss her all the same). Another knock from Charlie. "I'm coming!" She said, slamming the door open, it hitting Charlie in the head.

"Ow! Jesus, Jamie!" He said, holding his face. "Get over it. It wasn't that hard." Jamie said simply, making her way for the stairs, but being stopped by Charlie. "Look. I know you're a teenage girl and all that and have these mood swings, but take it easy on dad today. He's stressed out as it is making sure we all get to school on time."

"Right." She said, pulling her arm away and making her way downstairs to her family. After a few minutes of her dad trying to talk to her, and her replying with one worded replies, they were making their way out the door. The car was in the driveway, and the kids piled out.

"One two three four! One two three four!" Ray chanted, Ana and Eric giggling and marching to the beat Raymond was making. Charlie smiled as he opened the door of the front seat, but Jamie took it and slammed the door behind him. Charlie sighed and glared at her. Once the other two were in the back, he climbed in too.

Raymond swung the keys on his finger, and glanced over to the neighbor's house. He saw a woman walking out of her house to climb in to her car. She wore nice clothes, but unusual shoes for the outfit. He was going to call out to her and say his hello's to the new neighbor, but Jamie decided to honk the horn out of frustration. Raymond sighed, looking back at the car, and climbed in himself. The first to go were his highschoolers, since they started school earlier than Eric and Ana. "Alright, everyone ready? We're moving out!" He pulled the car out of the drive way, and down the street.

"Daddy Daddy! Wake uuuuup! It's the first day of schooool!"

Raymond Chase was awoken by a child jumping on top of him. He moaned a bit out of annoyance, then took his daughter in his arms. "You've awoken the tickle monster!" He said with a smile, Ana squealing in laughter. "Alright, I'm up." Raymond said, giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Go and get dressed, and start telling your brothers and sisters to wake up too." He said. She stood up and leapt off the bed, running for the door. "Okay!" he said. Raymond stretched, running a hand through his dark brown hair. His dark green eyes, although sleepy, were very much alive.

He climbed out of his bed, opening the curtains to reveal a sunny Seattle day, which was rare, since the city was known for its rain. The Chase house wasn't a mansion, but it was rather large for a house in this neighborhood. Not because Raymond wanted it to, but because of the amount of people living here. He had four kids, and he loved them with all his heart... Raymond turned to his nightstand, a picture of a very beautiful woman with olive skin, black hair, and ice blue eyes and perfect teeth looked at Raymond. "Buongiorno, il mio amore.." Good morning, my love... He said to her, giving a weak smile before making his way across his bedroom. It was decorated with many relics and artifacts from many places. Tiki masks, African pots, Chinese statues, you name it. Raymond spent a long time traveling the world. His whole house was full of these treasures.

Raymond took another stretch in front of his bedroom mirror. He was very well toned and muscular, with many unique tattoos from different tribes across the world on his arms, chest, and back. He took a shower, shaved, and dressed in a white shirt with a blue sweater over it, with jeans, and some comfortable shoes. His hair was done in a messy way, but it fit him perfectly.

Raymond walked out of his room, and started slamming on his children's. "rise and shine! School is todaaay!" he sang out with a smile, hearing groans from some, and nothing from others. He made his way down the stairs, and in to the kitchen. Whistling, he opened the fridge and took out ingredients to make breakfast. Eggs, bacon, pancake mix, orange juice, and apple juice, since he knew Eric didn't like orange.

---

Charlie Chase woke up to the sound of Ana screaming at them. "Daddy told me to wake you up so do it!" She exclaimed. Charlie couldn't help but smile. She sounded happy that she was able to boss everyone around. Another year for high school for him, though... Another day trying to balance his life and helping his dad... His room was covered in Seattle Seahawks items. He used to play football, and was really good at it too... But ever since he lost his mother, he stopped playing to take care of his family.

Charlie changed in to some jeans, converse, a black V-neck and a hoodie, and made his way down the stairs to see his dad hard at work preparing food. "Hey, Char." Raymond said with a smile, turning his attention to the pan full of eggs now. "Morning, Dad." He said, walking in to the kitchen and taking the spatula to flip the pancakes.

a very rich man who gained his money by traveling the world and doing things others won't. The handsome young adventurer meets the love of his life, an Italian woman. They settle down in America, where they have kids of their own, and adopt some from around the world as well. When the adventurer isn't out traveling, he is spending all of his time with his family... But then his wife passed away, and it struck the family very very deeply.

The father has enough money to now stay home and be a mister mom, to try and take care of his kids of all ages, some coping better than others. Some of his children want him to start dating again, but he's too afraid...

The family gets a new neighbor, a woman his age who doesn't seem to be starstruck by the famous traveler, and starts to spend time with the family either because the kids trick her in to coming over, or the father invites her himself

It'll be hard for the family as well as the father, but the father eventually starts to fall in love with this woman. Some of the kids hate the idea, others promote it

Name: Raymond Chase

Age: 35

Appearance:

Raymond Chase

Bio: I was born just outside of Seattle. My father was a hard working mechanic, and my mother was a humble school teacher. To say the least, we were the picture of a classic American family. School for me was spent day dreaming, fantasizing about how amazing it would be to travel to a jungle and search for a hidden temple, or uncover a tomb that belonged to a once famous king! I was also a friend to many, trying my best to see what other things there were out there, but wasn't afraid to fight anyone who made fun of anyone else because of how they lived their life. I worked at my dad's shop since I was 13, I played sports, went to church, just like everyone else... But as soon as I graduated high school, I took the money I saved since 13, and went anywhere I could.

I was young, ambitious, eager to see the world. I went to Spain first. I learned how to play classic guitar, I played football (soccer) with the citizens, I jumped off of beautiful waterfalls... I did anything and everything that was uncommon. I traveled a lot of places doing that, and before long I had people willing to pay for me to do what I love! I even got a television show with it. I soon began making a lot of money, and a lot of fame. I sent a lot of it to my family back home, not really needing it as I kept moving along...

I met her in Italy, on a small island near Rome. I saw her sitting on the beach while some of the citizens played soccer, and I challenged her to play.... After I lost miserably, we started talking all night... I couldn't let that girl outta my sight. Marie and I were inseparable. Her parents agreed for her to follow me around and the crew. When I wasn't doing anything on camera I was with her. I married her on the beaches of Greece, and we decided to start our family in Seattle. Whenever I wasn't filming, I was with her, and our growing family. We had four kids, and I loved them much more than seeing the world. They are my everything, and everything was perfect... Until Marie got sick.

She passed away from brain cancer two years ago. If I didn't have children to take care of, I would have stared at the wall for that time. But they kept me going. It was so hard on all of us, but after the time, we've gotten used to it, although their mother will never be off their minds. God knows I'll never forget her. So I've settled down, I don't travel much anymore. We got money, a beautiful home, and I do my very best to teach them how to be a polite, responsible, and not dependent on money.

Personality: Thinks he's pretty funny. Very strong willed, and humble. Loves to have fun, but if one of his kids gets in trouble, he becomes a strict father again. Sweet, caring, and absolutely loves his family to death.

Other: Has a few tribal tattoos from rural areas to show his admittance in their tribe on his arms and torso.

---

Name: Charlie Chase

Age: 16

Appearance:

Charlie Chase

Personality: Oldest in the house, so feels like he has the most responsibility. A spitting image of his father personality wise. Very humble, and sweet, and cares very much for his younger siblings... Hates any women who tries to flirt with his dad because of his money or fame, though.

Other: Biological son to Raymond and Marie... Also listens to a voicemail his mom left him days before she passed every night.

---

Name: Jamie Chase

Age: 15

Appearance:

Jamie Chase

Bio: I was born in San Francisco to a meth dealer dad and a abused mom... Every night I prayed that my father wouldn't come in to the house raging mad, and beat my mom... Her screams still haunt me. I hated the man who "raised" me. It wasn't long before the bastard sold my mom and I for sex so he can have money for meth... Luckily though, the cops found us before that happened. I didn't want to be in that family anymore. I begged them to take me away from them... And then there came a light. A beautiful couple who had immediate interest in me... I was adopted at the age of 12, to a family I absolutely loved. Raymond was outgoing, fun, and a child at heart, and my mother showed so much dedication and love to every one of us... I became angry with the world. I was frustrated with everything my dad did, or my brothers and sisters because I hated that I lost someone that meant a lot to me. It wasn't fair... The family hasn't done anything, but I can't walk around trying to hide my grief like everyone else.

Personality: Very headstrong and speaks her mind. Hates having her family being loud and obnoxious. Uses her father's wealth to help cope. Secretly wants to talk to someone, but pushes people away. She does love her family, but the pain masks that most of the time.

Back again!

Hello! I have another idea, and looking for a casual to high casual female RP'er!

I was thinking of a very rich man who gained his money by traveling the world and doing things others won't. The handsome young adventurer meets the love of his life, an Italian woman. They settle down in America, where they have kids of their own, and adopt some from around the world as well. When the adventurer isn't out traveling, he is spending all of his time with his family... But then his wife passed away, and it struck the family very very deeply.

The father has enough money to now stay home and be a mister mom, to try and take care of his kids of all ages, some coping better than others. Some of his children want him to start dating again, but he's too afraid...

(This is where you come in hahaha)

The family gets a new neighbor, a woman his age who doesn't seem to be starstruck by the famous traveler, and starts to spend time with the family either because the kids trick her in to coming over, or the father invites her himself

It'll be hard for the family as well as the father, but the father eventually starts to fall in love with this woman. Some of the kids hate the idea, others promote it

And that's all I got hahaha

So the kids and anyone else could be people we just use to keep the plot going, but this will focus more on the father and neighbor hahaha

is anyone interested SO FAR?

Again, looking for someone who likes to add detail in their posts, but i'm absolutely not demanding paragraphs every time, because it can be hard to do at some points hahaha

A Vampire Hunting RP

Finally got the OOC up!

Sorry, it's been a very tough couple of days for me!

The Protectors

Every fable, or legend is based on some sort of fact... But some of these make believe stories have more fact in them than others. For example: Vampires. Bloodsucking immortal creatures of the night, who burst in to flames in sunlight, die when they catch a scent of garlic, and can turn in to bats... And only a few people know that these creatures are very very real, and very very different.

Vampires can easily blend in to society by assuming their human form. They look just like everyone else. Contrary to popular belief, Vampires can survive in the sunlight, their skin gets used to the sun with their years of being one, but their eyes never adjust. Their true appearance, however is completely different. Their eyes are nothing but the darkest black, their skin so white and pale that you can see the black unnatural veins underneath. Their teeth turns to rows of fangs, and their hands long sharp claws.

Vampires are immortal, but they age in different ways. With time they can be strong enough to lift a train cart. So fast and agile that they can leap distances, and dodge nearly everything. Their only true weakness is silver, nothing else will cause them harm. Vampires can fight one another, but they can never kill each other.

These creatures have infected the world, and usually tend to live quietly, and peaceful with the humans... But one town is known for its constant struggle against them. Brooksfield Colorado is a small, friendly town deep in Rocky Mountains. Ever since it was founded in the 1800s, there has been a constant, invisible war. The people assigned to fight them have mastered the skill of vampire hunting. They realized that garlic and holy water doesn't work, and the dense trees hide the creatures from sunlight. Silver weapons, stakes, and flares are their only weapons, as well as technique. The hunters who had heritage in the family have a sixth sense, the ability to tell if a person is a vampire, or human.... They are called The Protectors. Over the century of fighting, there are only a select few who are Protectors, and for the safety and well being of the citizens, they keep it secret. The Protectors and vampires have come to an agreement long ago that the Vampires keep to the forest outside the town, and the humans keep the town and roads... If either cross the borders without a reason, they will be executed.

There are exceptions, of course. Vampires can be registered, and they can live with the town, to try and cope with their new abilities, and help the town in any way they can.... But as the silent war of Protectors vs Vampires continues, the protectors have a conflict themselves. The current sheriff believes in the old traditions, that people and vampires can live in harmony, and without killing one another unless needed, and some of the younger generations believe that Vampires can't be trusted, and that they should hunt them all down.

The town seems quiet, and it is friendly, and a nice place to live... But its filled with danger and mystery. How will you spend your stay?

RULES:

1) You can be a Protector (Vampire hunter), civilian (store owner, state cop, mayor, etc), Vampire, or ID'd vampire (Friendly who lives in the town) if you have a question on what you want to be, and how you want to play, please send me a PM and i'll be more than happy to help out!
2) Don't always start chaos and action! This will be a RP full of romance, drama, action, adventure, and other stuff as well!
3) Keep it to one CS for now
4) Don't be OP, and NO ONE SENTENCED POSTS! i understand writers block, and i prefer quality over quantity, but saying "he entered the room" just adds clutter, and doesn't help the story what so ever.
5) be creative! i love seeing how you guys make characters and how you make them unique!

Name: Benjamin Ford
Age: 39
Appearance: A strong, tall man.Benjamin Ford is a man who has done everything on his own, and has the hand and body to prove it. Although a bit older, Ben is still quite attractive. Has a full head of black hair with a touch of gray on the sides. Usually has a stubble, but nothing more. Steel gray eyes, and a scar across his cheek and eyebrow. Usually wears the sheriff's trench coat with the badge, jeans, and an old cowboy hat handed down from generations.
Faction: Protector
Job: County Sheriff, also in charge of the Protectors
Bio: The Ford family is extremely notorious in this town. Ever since the very first Protectors, my family ran the league of Vampire Hunters. And generations passed. I lived with my father. He never told me what happened to my mother, but i didn't mind. Growing up i learned the honest work the do out here in the middle of nowhere. I helped my dad at the sheriff's office, helped him with chores, and he made me help the other people in the town with their's. I always knew my father was keeping something from me though. And as a young teenager i would follow him around, or try to stop crimes in the town. And every time i would get yelled at, and be told many times that no matter what i do, never ever go in to the forest... I learned about the life of the Protectors when i heard crying late one night when i was 17. It was a young woman, racing through the streets, yelling at someone to leave them alone, that she wasn't one of them... my curiosity and my hunger for justice got the best of me.

I followed her, trying to help her, she told me to stay away, or I'll be hurt. Not thinking, i rushed after her in the forest... where i was immediately welcomed with laughter, demonic hissing, and being thrown in to a tree before i even knew it. I came to to see the most evil thing i have ever seen in my life. Now i know its a vampire, but back then, i thought i was staring at death itself. Before i met my death, or worse, my father and a few other deputies came rushing in... I got out alive, but with a few scars, and a big one across my cheek. My father had no choice but to tell me. I eagerly joined when he asked me. I fought alongside my father for a few years, helping him with shifts, learning how to fight with my own weapon of choice. I chose a wood axe laced with a hard silver coating, and i became an expert. I learned the techniques of what to look for, how to fight those creatures, and that some of the closest friends of our family were vampires who swore peace with the town long long ago...

One night though, there was a riot with the vampires. A group of young, rebellious ones attacked the town... it was terrible, with casualties from both sides... one being my father. After my father passed, the Protectors didn't even have to ask, or have a discussion. I was his successor. Dawning his hat, and badge, i kept the town from danger. And for decades i have been doing just that, losing some close friends, and fellow Protectors from deaths, or from them moving away. I married (IF ANYONE WANTS TO BE MY SON/DAUGHTER, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!), but she left me when she found out about the secret of this place... Most people think I'm too old for this job now... and they are usually knocked on their asses before they can finish the sentence. I have spent most of my life keeping this town safe, and i will do that to my dying breath.

Personality: Has a very strong sense of loyalty, Justice, pride, and courage, but not stupidity. Learned at a young age to not rush in to a situation. Always willing to help anyone in need. Is the father figure of the town, very humble and kind. Also knows to not hold grudges, but will get furious if anyone disobeys orders.

Family/Relationships?: Anyone interested in a romantic, or family relationship, let me know!

Weapon(s) : A old, silver axe, an old revolver with silver bullets, and some mini flares to blind the vampires just in case.

Other: there is said to be a Ford family curse... every one of my grandfathers have died from fighting off vampires before they reached the age of 40... Also very strictly enforces curfew, and not going in the woods at all times.
