Arcana et Anathema

Seems interesting. I MAY work on a CS if I have the time.

The White Gloves

Alekos registered everything he had heard. He then took out his pen and a card and begun writing on the back of it. "So, it's a predatory lake animal, that is big enough to take out an elephant." Alekos muttered to himself. "I think we're dealing with a reptile or an amphibian...." Alekos normally muttered what he was writing as he was writing it. The Kaiju couldn't be a mammal, and it wasn't a bird, or a fish. There was a possibility it could be an invertebrate, however. Alekos remembered the attack of a giant crab like creature a few weeks ago. Everyone thought it must have been a fish, as it was taking out submarines. But, if this creature in East Africa is an invertebrate, it probably wouldn't want to leave the safety of the water.

Alekos straightened his hair, and some of the wrinkles in his clothes, before standing up. He cleared his throat, and begun to speak in fluent English, but with a heavy accent.

"This situation we have developing in Kenya is deadly. We need to sort it out as quickly as we can. Through my research I have grouped every attack that we have currently recorded together, and a lot of them show similar traits. A lot of the reptilian or amphibian attacks so far have been from creatures that have appeared aquatic. For example, the salamander like creature that demolished Naha. This creature that we have in East Africa is seemingly an aquatic creature. I have made the assumption that is creature is reptilian in nature. We can see in normal nature, amphibious creatures live in both water and on land. However, a lot of these animals need air to breathe, yet without water they will die. Take the common frog. It need to come to the surface to breathe air. Yet if it is deprived of water, it dries out and dies. To cut to the point, maybe we should try stopping this creature by leading it away from the water, or possibly cutting it off from the water source. But we will need more information on this creature before we can come to a sensible and rational conclusion to the situation."

Alekos finished talking, but remained standing in case any questions were directed at him.

The White Gloves

Alekos Diakopi got out of the silver grey car. He had been doing research non stop for at least 10 hours. Therefore, he felt tired, and his appearance surely showed it. His eyes had bags underneath them, his hair was messy, his clothes were creased and he still had his research notes tucked inside his shirt pocket. To say the least, Alekos felt wretched. It was always a tough job with the White Gloves, and sometimes Alekos wondered what it would have been like if he denied the offer and stayed with the museum.

Alekos had been suddenly startled by a voice over the intercom: "All personnel please report to the briefing room. We have a situation developing in Eastern Africa.". Alekos had got out of his seat, and tidied up his desk slightly. In his haste, he nearly knocked over a glass of water, but managed to stop it from tipping over completely. However, a bit of water had gotten onto one of his cards. He bought the cards in case he was asked something, or the reason why he was doing so much research.

Alekos's thoughts when he was in the car were mostly about what Kaiju had attacked now. At one point in his research he had compiled a table of the current attacks, and grouped them into mammals, reptiles/amphibians, invertebrates and a column called "Other". Alekos had a small version of the on one of his cards in his shirt pocket. He yawned as he walked up to the door.

Alekos was greeted with a relieving hum of noise. "Good" Alekos muttered to himself in Greek. "The briefing has not started yet.". Alekos opened the door as quietly as he could, and searched for an empty seat. When he located one, he sat down and begun to slip through his cards. All of his cards were written in English, for easy reading if he was asked to read them out. English seemed to be the general language among the White Gloves. Alekos muttered his notes to himself as he waited for the briefing to begin.

The White Gloves

Work in progress:

Name: Alekos Diakopi

Occupation: Ethologist - He studies animal behavior.

Nationality: Greek

Gender: Male

Age: 28

Alma Mater: University of Crete.

Personality: Alekos is a generally hard-working and calm kind of person. He is dedicated to his work, but not to the point of obsession. He is naturally curious and is usually the first to arrive at the scene of something interesting, or unexplained, or generally unusual. Despite being dedicated to his work and curious, he still enjoys a good prank or joke, as long as it isn't anything too extreme. Of course, he is intelligent and normally uses complicated words in a sentence, only to have to repeat the sentence again in simpler language to confused people.

Brief Bio: Alekos was born on the ancient Greek island of Crete, in the coastal city. He was born into a rather laid back family - his father was a competitive boxer, and his mother was unemployed. Because of this, he was never pushed to do well academically, and even though his older brother had dropped out of school and gone from job to job, his parents told him that whatever he did was okay, as long as he had a job. Despite this, he still felt that he needed to push himself academically, and therefore applied himself at school more than the rest of his family.

Alekos was never bullied at school. He wasn't exceedingly popular, but he still had a large group of close friends. He was well liked by the teachers, and received good grades all the way through school. He excelled in maths, history and geography, but he was always a scientistat heart. He loved going out birdwatching after school and catching insects and putting them in vivariums.

When the time came to choose a university to go to, he knew he wanted to study ethology, also known as the study of animal behaviour. But the main decision was to go off island or stay in Crete. Alekos, after a final decision, chose the University of Crete, the best University on his home island. Alekos breezed through university, just like school, and graduated easily. After university, he was hired by the local museum as a researcher. This was where he worked for 5 years, before something happened.

A kaiju attacked an island near Crete. It was like a giant hound. The attack killed several, and injured many more. A group of researchers from Alekos's museum were chosen to study the scene. Of course, Alekos was among these. The scene was awful. The kaiju had cut a large path straight through a tourist area. People said the creature had eaten people, then simply trudged on and disappeared into the hole from which it came. Alekos, since these creatures had begun attacking, had always thought that something must be driving them. What could it be? Alekos verablly voiced his theories out loud, and a group of White Glove researchers came up to him. They said they liked his theories, and offered him a job with them. It was a tough decision, but Alekos accepted.

Other: No brown M&Ms. Also, he speaks fluent English and fluent French as well, and of course, fluent Greek. He speaks these all with a heavy accent.

A Great Bloody Mess

Krov sighed. Kuro was probably right. There was no reason to let the past clog up the present. He should have probably let it go a long time ago. The past was no use now. The only thing that mattered at a time like this was now and the future. If he didn't concentrate, the Black Swords could get in, and potentially end the lives of all the vampires left in Japan. Well, Krov thought that they were the only ones left in Japan. He didn't like to think it.... But it was probably true.

But at Kuro's next comment, Krov stifled a laugh, and seriously had to stop himself from saying to Krov. "What? Are you serious?". No matter what Kuro could say, Krov still found Chiyo disrespectful, lazy and sarcastic. He didn't thing Chiyo had a soft side, or maybe Chiyo just hated Krov for some stupid reason. Either of which, Krov would find completely stupid. Krov almost felt sorry for Karina, Karina looked up at Chiyo, and when Chiyo needs to drop some extra weight.....

But Krov respected Kuro, so bowed in respect and said "Thank you", before Kuro walked off over to Greyson and Hisako, who had just walked out of the shack. Krov begun to walk over, but stumbled across something on the ground. It was a small, scarlet red poppy. Krov knelt down and picked it. He then placed it in his fur coat's pocket, so the top would hang out slightly. Krov walked over to Hisako and Greyson.

"Are we ready for the hunt?" Krov asked, a dangerous glint in his brick red eyes.

Anyway, I'm going to try and get my hunter finished and get an IC post up by tomorrow.

Bump?

A Great Bloody Mess

Name: Aoto Niku. He is also sometimes called "The Bakugeki-ki", or, in English, the bomber, because of his love for using garlic bombs as a main weapon.

Age: 22

Personality: Aoto is a very laid back and fun person. He will not have second thoughts at making a joke, even in the darkest of times. His jokey and almost a bit insane manner annoys some of his elders, but Aoto couldn't care less what other people think about him. Because of this, he never backs out of a battle, and would probably die chuckling quietly at a small joke. He loves to taunt those who can't get a hold of him, calling them weak and chickens and what not. He is infamous in his family for being the one who laughed to himself at a funeral.

Aoto can often be the light in dark times, and is usually the first to make someone chuckle, smile or laugh, no matter how depressed or gloomy or dark they might be. Aoto didn't become a hunter for grudges, or simply for something to do, he became a hunter for the fun of it.

Bio: Aoto was born to two rich hotel owners in the center of bustling, busy, urban Tokyo. His parent's hotel was one of the best in the city at the time, so the family was very rich. The Niku family dates back to Feudal times, and Aoto had several cousins, and other relatives. It was a big family, but the family hardly ever saw eachother. Some of them owned supermarket chains, others were architects and one of Aoto's uncles was a famous actor. So, young Aoto had a lot to live up to. His parents really wanted him to do as well as they did.

And for the first years of school, Aoto was what you would call a perfect student. His homework was on time, he never talked in class, and he had a close and respectable group of friends. His grades were extremely high, and Aoto's parents felt relieved that their son was fulfilling what they hoped he would. They could now concentrate on getting their business even better. And as the hotel began to rise in popularity, more money came in, and the families living conditions became more luxurious. Some houses had at least three swimming pools!

But it was at age 9 that Aoto discovered what would become the main point in his life: Jokes and pranking. Aoto started off small, with fake juice spills, whoopie cushions and making animal noises in class. His reputation quickly spread around the school.

Equipment: (keep this reasonable): He carries with him tens upon tens of garlic bombs with him at all times. They are is favored weapon and will use them above anything else. He also carries a small silver blade for emergencies, and a small UV light.

Skills: Aoto has an excellent aim with a bomb, he has been known to simply sit upon high places and through down bombs at any vampires he may see. His aim has become so fine-tuned, that he was given a codename based around it. He also is quite good with his small blade.

Other: If you hadn't noticed, I basically made him the exact opposite of Krov.

This is awkward.
