Lord Wraith

Justice League: The Other Side

So Stein, I think I'm going to withdraw my application. I can't see to find any inspiration to write the character which is therefore only going to transfer over to my IC posts and I feel as though I've slowed you all up enough already. Best of luck to everyone though! Stein's a great guy and an awesome GM!

This is a lie, Hillan's not that pretty :P

“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.”
― W.B. Yeats

New Lilith, a towering monument to progress, a city literally caught between moving forward and in the echoes of times gone by. Skyscrapers stand side by side with elegant buildings adorned with spires and other Gothic influences. Gargoyles hang over ledges, keeping a close watch over the city below as other intricate works of stone catch the eye and attention of those who walk the manicured streets. New Lilith boosts some of the best masons in all of North America and as such the city's fine craftsmanship is one of its primary draws. This attributes to New Lilith's booming tourism industry which brings people from all over to the city nearly all year round.

But fine masonry and stone working is not the only draw that New Lilith has on tourists, the city itself is home to vast and rich history spanning nearly a thousand years from when the area was first mysteriously settled to its role during the Salem Witch Trials right up to the birth of the city's revolutionary hydroelectric dam. New Lilith is always constantly moving, like the great tide that crashes against its Eastern coast every day, giving power to the city through the dam. Some say the tide is like a heartbeat, pounding as it pumps life into the city, and anyone native to New Lilith would swear the city was alive. The ground moans and groans, as though it's waking up after a long slumber, stirring as it awakens once more.

Perhaps it's because the world is changing, twenty years ago no one would have thought of putting on a mask and taking the law into their own hands and yet in a West Coast city that is exactly what has happened. People gifted with unique abilities have begun to emerge from within the crowds, people capable of changing the course of mankind. While it may have started in the West, the effects have rippled across North America and have no washed over New Lilith, drowning the city in the rising tide. Yet the question still remains, will they usher mankind into a new era of enlightenment or plunge it into the shadows of the dark ages.

Only time will tell...

The overly cheerful chime of the alarm was possibly the most unwelcome noise that Addison Winter Caspian could imagine at this very moment as it disturbed her sleep, permeating every square inch of her skull. Dragging the covers over her as she buried her head beneath the over-sized pillow, Winter audibly groaned as she realized the darkness which she embraced to sleep had been violated by the constant flickering of daylight as it slithered between the mangled blinds on her window. After a struggle lasting a whole five minutes, Winter finally reluctantly surrender to the alarm as she rolled over and hit the button, the looming display almost seemed like some hellish abomination as the red numbers angrily stared back at her.

'9:45? Already? Seriously I feel like it was 3am half an hour ago. A groan escaped her lips as she flopped back over on the bed, spreading out to allow the bed to consume her as the young woman stared at the antique ceiling above her head.

'What day is it even? Do I have class? Please say it's Friday, oh I pray to whatever higher power there may be that it's Friday.' Her inner monologue went on, as she sat up and reached for her cellphone only to let out a cry of anguish upon reading the screen realizing that not only was it not Friday, but it was also Hallowe'en. That mean the 'Cauldron was going to be a gong show later.

"At least I'm not working." She grumbled to herself as she swung her legs over the edge of the King sized bed, feeling around with her feet for her slippers before standing up. Tugging at her tanktop, she looked down remembering she had been too tired for pajamas and had slept in her underwear, silently cursing as she remembered her blinds didn't really protect her privacy. Scrambling to her closet as the wooden floor beneath her creaked and moaned with age, Winter pulled out a robe and quickly threw it over her. Making her way to the bathroom she nearly did a double take as her reflection looked like it was already dressed for this evening. Winter had forgotten to remove her makeup from the day before and now it, combined with the mess of hair atop her head gave her a look that could probably turn a gorgon to stone.

'Ugh.'
Reaching over the claw foot bathtub, Winter turned the tap and began to run the hot water, ensuring her shower would be more than warm enough before she undressed. Pulling a fresh towel out of the nearby closet, Winter peeled off what few clothes she had on before stepping into the baptism of hot water as it rained down on her seemingly washing away all her stress of tiredness. Winter was a firm believing that a hot shower was better than any cup of coffee in the morning.

~ ~ ~

After the hot water tank had been drained and about an hour after that, Winter finally emerged from the bathroom, only her robe between her and any would be peepers across the street as she moved back into her bedroom. After quickly throwing on her usual attire of jeans and a tank top, Winter decided she had best check in on her emails ensuring that she hadn't missed anything from the class that took place while she had taken her shower. Her stomach growled as she sat down at the small desk and opened the laptop, the first reminder that she hadn't eaten yet this morning.

'12:30, fuck!' Or rather this afternoon as the case was currently. She shook her head at the time as she opened her inbox, noticing a rather large amount of emails from 'Facbook'.

"Don Macintosh has added you as a friend, Charles Glover... Fredrick Hattin... Who are these people? Fuckin' creepers." Winter muttered as she leaned back in her chair, selecting all the emails and hitting delete. Clicking open a new tab, she logged into her Facebook and quickly 'ignored' the same friend requests. "Preferred when it said rejected. Bunch of stupid boys." She noted most of them attended Hobbes, which meant they had seen her in class or something like that and figured she was cute so they could add her.

'The least they could have done was talk to me first.' Her stomach suddenly growled again prompting Winter to close the laptop and grab her leather jacket off the back of the door before locking up her apartment and heading downstairs. Coming out into the hallway, Winter nearly collided with a wall of orange and black balloons. Her body started to phase through the balloons but the sound of another person caused Winter to step back, remaining solid as she looked around the floating wall.

"Good afternoon Winter!" Came a male voice from behind the balloons as one of her coworkers poked her head out.

"Hey Scott," Winter responded with a small wave. She really wasn't in the mood for letting small talk to stop her from grabbing a bite to eat. But she knew Scott, and he'd want to talk. "Serena got you setting up for tonight already?" She asked, moving around the balloons and slowly moving towards the Stein and Cauldron's exit.

"Yeah buddy, Ravencroft's favourite holiday tonight. I thought you'd know that. You've been here over a year haven't you?"

"Eight months I think," Winter said turning towards the door only to let out a silent sigh of exasperation as Scott continued the conversation.

"Oh well, you fit in so well, it's like you've always been here." He smiled wide as he looked at Winter who hid her annoyance quickly.

Please tell me he is not flirting with me. "Hey Scott I was ju..."

"So are you working tonight?" His voice quickly spoke over Winter he nearly caused her lip to bleed as she bit down on it in frustration. Her angry stomach growling loudly under her jacket.

"No I'm not." She answered flatly turning to leave as Scott continued to talk.

"Well you should come out anyways! I mean, you won't get to sleep with the party happening below your bed."

"I think I'll stay at a friend's!" Winter called back trying to ignore the cynic in her head. Friends, what's that, someone else to let get close so they can stab you in the back.

"Uh well, maybe you and I could get a bite to eat sometime." Scott added as Winter exited the building.

And there's the date invitation. She shook her head as she walked around to the alley, and lifted up the door to the garage that Serena let her store her bike in while she rented the apartment above the pub. Pulling the powerful machine out, Winter closed the door, replacing the lock before climbing onto the hog and relishing the sound of the engine purring between her legs as it drowned out the recent memories of Scott's babbling. Sliding her helmet onto her head, Winter kicked off, gliding the bike into a perfect merge with the steady stream of traffic before revving the engine and ripping between lanes as she left the Bazaar behind.

~ ~ ~

The Western part of the city was also was such a stark contrast from the Central district. It was almost as though Winter had traveled through time as she rode her trusty Harley from beneath the shadows of Gothic architecture to that of the recognizable golden arches. Turning off the busy road, Winter pulled into a Fuddruckers, deciding to splurge a little for a much better burger. Being raised in a biker gang might have a lot of draw backs, but one definitely develops an appreciation for quality a meat. An appreciation that can not be met by McDonald's, but Fuddruckers did a pretty good at coming up to the bar. Winter bit down into the freshly prepared burger, savouring the flavour of the meat with the wonderful accents of the toppings that she had so generously piled on it. Taking a breather to nibble on a few fries and take a sip of her pineapple juice, Winter noticed an abandoned newspaper lying on the now empty table adjacent to hers. The headline emblazoned across it was rather eye catching as it read 'Superhumans Among Us?'. Looking around to ensure no one was watching, Winter held out her hand calling the paper to it as it flew off the table and firmly into her grip. Chewing slowly as she read, Winter found herself strangely relieved in knowing there were plenty more people out in the world just like her. While she'd never be brazen enough to dress in a costume and use her powers to stop crime, at least she wasn't a one of a kind freak anymore. The article reference several videos from YouTube which were filmed in Kilbride, some apparently large city that Winter had never heard of. Probably because it was on the other side of the country in Washington state. Either way, it appeared a group of superpowered individuals stopped a bank robbery, the article detailed that since that night nearly two and a half weeks ago, the 'vigilantes' had been seen more and more frequently. Flipping the page, Winter continued to read after see another interesting article. Apparently there's recent string of diamond robberies in New Lilith which the police can't seem to pin down any leads on. The only 'evidence' evidence that's been found consistently at all the crime scenes so far appears to be small puddles of water. Which while odd, didn't exactly provide any leads.

'Perhaps New Lilith could use some vigilante justice.' Winter rolled her eyes at the thought as she finished her meal and stood up, dumping her tray into the garbage before leaving the establishment.

Brunette with Auburn and Blonde Highlights (A ghostly, translucent white in 'Wisp Form')

Brown (Pure white in 'Wisp Form')

| APPEARANCE |

Winter is a short girl, standing only about 5'-1", despite that however her body is toned from hours of working out and performing strenuous work during her tenure with the Highway Men under her father. Her tone physique grants her a slender body with accented feminine curves which would have attracted the eyes of many men without the added bonus of her 'Attractive Aura'. Winter's usual fashion includes, jeans, a tank top and a leather jacket. Naturally this is adapted to suit the colder or warmer weather depending on the season. She has an attraction towards purple and black in her wardrobe as well, though she's no stranger to wearing other colours as well. Winter has a scar on her left elbow from a bad motorcycle accident when she was first learning to ride, though it has faded over the years, it's still notable up close. She also has the tattoo of a raven in flight on the inside of her right forearm as well as a black rose on her front left hip.

| ABILITIES |

• Half Fairy: Unbeknownst to Winter, her body is half fairy. As such, Winter has a natural aptitude and connection to magic unlike most humans who have to be taught or have to channel magical energies through words, runes or an object. Her 'Fair' half is in fact the source of all of her supernatural abilities and without it she wouldn't be anything more than a mortal. That said, Winter's magical energies are finite and can be drained temporarily through over use or by an outside source. Once fully drained, Winter's power take eight hours of rest to fully recharge which is best accomplished through sleep. Sleeping recharges Winter's abilities two times fast than they would recharge if she were awake, in a conscious state Winter's powers would take sixteen hours to recharge.


• Wisp Form:
  
  While Winter appears human, she's fifty percent Fair Folk and fifty percent human. Winter can manipulate the magical energies within her body to change that ratio allowing her to increase the concentration of Fairy within her allowing her to take on a Wisp like form akin to that of her father. In this form, Winter becomes ninety percent Fairy, while remaining ten percent human. Additionally, her power level drastically increases in this form by roughly two hundred percent, however due to the higher power level and the drain on her magical energies to sustain the Wisp form, Winter's power depletes at twice the rate it normally would. While in her 'human' form, Winter can last about four hours using her powers moderately, in Wisp form however Winter is lucky to last two hours with moderate use and combat will easily drain her magical energies in under an hour. Winter's Wisp Form substantially changes her appearance as she takes a ghostly appearance, her hair, skin and eyes all take on a luminescent and translucent white colour while donning a hooded white robe. Winter's body is cloaked in a skin tight white body suit, though due to the nature of the Wisp Form it's hard to tell if she's wearing anything at all despite her body remaining void of any biological identifiers outside of her feminine shape. This form also grants Winter the ability to shrink in size while transforming into an orb of light not unlike that of her 'Wisp Fire'. This is the truest form of the 'Will O'The Wisp', and the one which is most often sighted in the legends surrounding the Fae.


• Decelerated Ageing: Due to Winter's Fairy half, her life expectancy is much longer than that of a human's. As such, once she reaches her full maturity, Winter will start to slow in aging to the point that by her 100th birthday, she'll barely look a day over thirty. Winter will likely live to between three to four hundred years.


• Attractive Aura: Another side effect of Winter's Fairy half is that she's more desirable to mortals. As such her body releases subliminal hormones which makes everyone around her attracted to her. Winter sees no upside to this ability in the least, though she enjoyed the benefits of it briefly while dating Jack Cobb. Despite the fact that people are attracted to Winter, this does not mean they are immediately smitten with her, merely that express a sexual desire towards her. As such, it's impossible for a mortal to find her unattractive, those with supernatural attributes however can find themselves with an overwhelming desire towards her.


• Invisibility: Winter possesses the ability to turn her body invisible, though her scent, weight and presence still remain. Her body is merely invisible to visual detection and even then those with supernatural ocular abilities may still be able to see her. This is done through merging her body partially with another dimension making her appearance vanish from the current realm.


• Intangibility:Winter is able to pass through solid objects as she's able to ignore most physical effects in her way. The exact means as to how this is done occurs by slipping into another dimension. Winter is able to ignore most attacks, physical dangers with concentration, though loss of her train of thought can cause her to become solid again. Likewise, Winter has to constantly be alert to the effects of gravity and if she isn't careful could end up falling to the planet's core. Electricity can also harm her even when she's intangible. For this reason she can not pass through any electrically charged panel, wall or surface. Electric attacks like will wise cause her great agony even if she's not intangible. Other magicks can also cancel out Winter's intangibility leaving her vulnerable or even partially phased through an object.


• Flight/Levitation: Winter can hover/float and fly through the air unassisted, allowing her to carelessly float in the air and prevent herself from making contact with the ground below. Though she can only reach a top speed of a hundred miles per hour doing this. Her top speed can only be reached in her Wisp Form and she can only maintain it for about thirty minutes before becoming drained.


• Siren's Song: Winter's 'Siren's Song' is one of her most potent abilities. With a loud piercing screech, Winter unleashes a devastating wave of sonic energy which can push her opponents back at low levels but with increased volume and pitch can cause ear drums to burst and other devastating injuries even leading to death if left unchecked. The 'Song' is one of Winter's most draining abilities and also features the unique disadvantage of being able to destabilize her from her 'Wisp Form' if held too long. A prolonged 'Wail' can easily use to fifty percent of Winter's magical energies.


• Wisp Fire: Winter's Wisp Fire can be used for a variety of purposes. Once summoned to her, Winter can use the Fire as an aura surrounding herself in it, as a projectile firing it from her hands or even breath the fire out of her mouth. If the Fire is being used offensively, it's glows an eerie blue, however Winter can also use her Wisp Fire to heal herself and others. If this is the case, the fire becomes a luminous golden ray. When being used offensively, the Wisp Fire doesn't crackle or sizzle like normal fire but rather it wails like screams of torment. However, when being used to heal, the Fire gives off a light chime like sound, healing also is more draining on Winter's magical energies than attacking with the Fire. A mortal wound would require all of Winter's magical energies while a paper cut would barely affect it. Likewise the energy a fireball would drain replenishes in about five minutes but a steady stream of Fire would rapidly drain Winter.


• Magical Affinity: Due to Winter's nature of being a Half-Fae, she has a natural affinity towards magic and can thus learn new magicks very easily given the proper resources and time. Her Fairy nature in particular grants her an affinity towards nature magical such as the control and manipulation of plant life, an affinity towards fire, light and shadow. However all of this remains unknown to Winter who's more than happy to slug someone with a wrench than hurl a fireball.


• Telekinesis: Though not with her mind but through magic, Winter can lift objects without touching through concentration. In a human form, Winter can only lift as much as she could physically but transformed into her Wisp Form, Winter can lift three times as much. This ability has a minimal drain on her magical energies as long as she's not pushing her maximum weight. The power drains much quicker under strenuous circumstances.

| LIMITATIONS |

While Winter will develop a great scale of powers and abilities she has numerous weaknesses as well. Firstly, Any 'light' based attacks also have double the effectiveness on Winter, and other supernatural users could even banish her to another dimension. This effectiveness further increases when Winter is in Wisp Form due to being less mortal. Magick also has double the effectiveness on Winter and can cause her great harm as well. In terms of Magick, Winter can't just randomly manifest new spells or attacks without first learning them from the proper people or resources, both of which are hard to come by. To a degree this applies to her own abilities as well as they'll develop with her. Lastly, Winter's greatest weakness is her own mortality as it makes her magical energies finite as well as making her much easier to kill than a full Fae.

| SKILLS AND TALENTS |

• Mechanic: Raised by her father and having lived most of her life surrounded by chop shops, Winter picked up the skills of the 'trade'. She knows a car inside and out and is completely capable of simple repairing one or building it from the ground up. This knowledge also extends to motorcycles, Winter's and the Highway Men's choice mode of transportation.


• Grand Theft Auto: Since the Highway Men deal with carjacking, Winter knows all the tricks of breaking into a car and hot-wiring it. Not to mention knowing the value of various makes and models, additionally Winter can identify a wide variety of details about a car including whether it's been in an accident, what trim level it's equipped with and if it has an armed alarm, all through a simple walk around. the vehicle in question.


• Motorcyclist: Winter has been on a bike most of her life, as such she's very skilled at handling large, powerful and fast motorcycles. That said, she's not a stunt rider, though she can handle taking the bike through some of the more 'professional' maneuvers.


• Brawling: Roy wanted to make sure his baby girl was more than capable of giving anyone who wanted to harm her a run for their money. In order to accomplish this, he made sure his daughter was taught to fight. Roy taught Winter everything he remembered from boxing but more importantly he taught Winter to be a pragmatic fighter, using whatever she can to turn the fight to her advantage. Essentially, Winter's not afraid to fight dirty and is quite good at it.

| EQUIPMENT |

• Motorola RAZR2: A five year old cellphone, it can call, text, take pictures and even play music. This older flip phone is all Winter needs in a phone and she simply can't be bothered to upgrade to a modern phone. Partially because she doesn't care about technology and partially because she doesn't want to look like an idiot trying to learn to use a touchscreen.


• Tools: Winter's best friend is a socket wrench, and it shows as she keeps several tool kits in her university dorm room. Kept in top condition, Winter ensures her tools are as well kept as her bike and if you have to ask, that means pristine.


• HP Laptop: A basic off the shelf HP Pavilion laptop, Winter occasionally carries it with her but its primary use is for school. She can use a computer as well as any other person who uses them casually but she's not about to sit down and hang out on the internet for hours especially if she could be out riding.


• Harley Davidson Breakout:
  
  Winter's brand new top of the line 2014 Harley Davidson Breakout is her pride and joy. Her previous bike was lost to her during the raid on the Highway Men hideout after Jack Cobb's betrayal and take over. Having saved her money from bartender at the Stein and Cauldron over the last two years, Winter bought the bike brand new two months ago and has barely let it out of her sight since. Though in the off chance her bike were stolen, Winter made sure she installed a remote engine immobilizer, she'd rather her bike wrecked than in someone else's hands.
  

| BIOGRAPHY |

W.I.P.

Mother was raped, gave birth to Winter who was raised by her mother and step-father, Roy Caspian, until she was four. Her mother ran away shortly after Winter's fourth birthday. Roy was the leader of the Highway Men Biker Gang, as such Winter grew up around bikes and bad boys. Dated one of the gang members for two years before the gang was busted up. Gang was busted up when Winter's boyfriend, Jack Cobb sold out the gang in a power play which left him as the gang leader but also got Roy locked away along with his daughter and other close associates. Winter ended up serving a year's jail time for aiding and abetting but has since been released and is currently enrolled in University pursuing a law degree.

Just over twenty years ago, Roy Caspian met the beautiful Jewel Quenet on the dance floor of the Midsommer nightclub

| SAMPLE POST |

The pub was particularly packed this Friday evening as the live music echoed through the small establishment while the waitresses in their tight black tops ran around bringing drinks and towering plates of wings to the many awaiting tables. Normally Winter would have been working behind the bar but with the 'Stein and Cauldron' overcrowded, Serena had asked Winter to take to the floor. The smell of alcohol permeated the room while various wing sauces added accents ranging from sweet to tangy to the thick smoke smell of barbeque. Walking up to a table with her notepad drawn, Winter looked down only now realizing that perhaps the pleated skirt she had worn tonight wasn't the best choice as even the mandatory server apron was longer than it.

"What'll it be boys?" Winter said as she clicked a pen and put it down on the pad while looking at the four men before her. Looking at each of the men they appeared to meet the standard 'frat boy' stereotypes. 'V-Necked' Shirt on one, popped collar polo on another, one was still wearing his sunglasses indoors and had enough grease in his hair to a make a McDonald's grill blush. Winter looked up as she heard of them obnoxiously clear his throat as the man in the polo began to speak.

"Another round of MGD, bottles for each of us Sweet Cheeks. And a platter of the suicide wings. I only like things that are smokin' hot." He said as he leaned back, looking Winter up and down, his tongue sliding across his lips nearly causing Winter to gag in her mouth. Despite sitting in the middle, his arms still had tremendous reach as he stretched his hand out, the man with the popped collar winked at his friends while nodding towards their waitress and her short skirt. Turning to walk away, Winter felt a smack as her skirt was briefly lifted. Biting down on her lip, she felt her face go red as she paused before speaking.

"You Sir, get a sandwich on the house!" Winter said in a 'valley girl' like tone, forcing herself to release the death glare from her face, replacing it with a freshly painted and much forced smile while turning to the man who had slapped her behind. He looked up at her smugly, a look of pure amusement in his eyes as he sat surrounding by his snickering 'brothers'. It took all of Winter's restraint to not take his beer and beat him over the head before shanking him with it till he bled out on the floor.

"Oh yeah, well why don't you hurry and make it for me Sweet Cheeks?" The man said as he swigged his beer, nearly falling off his chair laughing while his gathered friends all joined in on the mirth. Winter's grin grew from forced to genuine as she realized just how much she was about to enjoy administering her own brand of justice on this depraved excuse for a man. She had lived among rough men before but none of them would have dared touched her. Placing her tray down on the table beside her, she nodded to the table nearby as she excused her actions in advanced.

"Oh but I already have it right here for you." Winter's tone was sweet and innocent only to be broken as she suddenly pulled her arm back and swung hard. The echoing of knuckles colliding with a hollow skull echoed through the 'Cauldron as the man hit the floor, his beer shattering as glass and alcohol spread across the floor. "I hope you like 'knuckle'." Winter snarled as she turned her back and headed for the bar amidst the cheers and hollers of the other patrons. "I still expect a tip." Winter called back to the frat boys which only served to elicit more laughter from the 'Cauldron's patrons.

New Lilith: Shadows of Darkness

| RULES AND APPLICATIONS |

RULES:

---

1. Character Creation Rules:

[1.01] You can create any superhero mold you want with tact. All invincible superheroes or obvious imitations of DC or Marvel titles will be judged harshly. Heroes ideally should be starting out their careers within the first arc of the RP, there are no age restrictions on your character however if you are expected to be able to involve your character with the others so it's advised you don't make the age gap bigger than it needs to be for the sake of being 'original' or 'different'. Likewise, if you must make a 'monstrous' character/power, I advise you to make your character dual sided so they may blend with the regular people. Your abilities should also be a secret to everyone except your character's closest friends if you so wish, remember people are afraid of what they don't understand and the metahuman is a new concept to the world. People will not be willing to accept them very quickly.

[1.02] Character sheets will not be accepted until the GMs have had time to look over the CS thoroughly. This not only ensures that we the GMs have time to read through Character Sheets appropriately but also that you the Player are receiving proper critique as well as a solid community to interact with in the In Character Threads. We appreciate your patience with this.

[1.03] All Character Sheets must be submitted to the GMs through Private Message Thread and in the provided format. Character Sheets which do not use the provided skeleton will be ignored as will as Characters submitted in the Out Of Character Thread. Displays of impatience towards acceptance will result in an immediate denial. The GMs have lives outside of The Guild and may have their time restricted during the week and/or weekend. Have patience and a positive attitude and you will receive a response.

[1.04] Players are allowed one primary character. You allowed to create secondary characters to interact with as well as flesh them out. However do not spend more time on these characters than necessary, they should be more like NPCs than player characters. While you could make them metahumans, they should not be constantly tagging along with your character.

2. Out Of Character Rules:

[2.01] Respect the Game Masters. The GM's words are law, don't argue or disregard them. If a GM asks you to stop doing something please do it. Likewise if a GM asks you to change something in your post please do it. Failure to adhere to any GM or Guild Moderator requests will result in expulsion from the game.

[2.02] Respect the other players. Constructive criticism is fine, but flaming or trying to run players off just because you don't like the way they do things is not okay. Remember, it's the GM's job, not yours, to point out if there's a problem. If you feel that there is a problem, then contact a GM directly.

[2.03] Likewise any quarrels will be dealt with by the GMs. Don't take them out in the OOC, arguments should be dealt with between the two parties through private messaging. If the involved parties truly can't solve their issues a GM can act as an arbiter upon request.

[2.04] No GIF Posts, No GIF Wars. This is a thread for discussion of the Roleplay, its characters and plots. This is not a Spam Thread. Chat is allowed but please try not to fill the OOC with numerous pages that have little to nothing to do with the roleplay itself.

3. In Character Rules:

[3.01]You are your character, so act like them. Create or portray their mannerisms, powers, and ideals to how they have been established in the game. BE the character, not just yourself with the character's powers.

[3.02] This is a high-casual/low-advanced roleplay, as such a two (2)-paragraph minimum per post is mandatory. Three (3) to five (5) paragraph posts are however expected and preferred. Proper spelling and grammar is also expected but small exceptions due to language barriers are also understandable.

[3.03] You are expected to post at least once per week. If there are any outside factors as to why you can't meet this expectation please let the GMs know. If you find yourself in a plot with another player and they disappear, do your best to move on without them and quickly finish the arc to the best of your ability, or ask for the help of a GM. If you stop posting for two (2) weeks, your character will be listed as 'inactive', and after a further week of inactivity, your characters will be expelled, and dealt with as necessary in the IC, whether killed or used as needed and then discarded.

[3.04] No God-Modding or metagaming. This refers to controlling or manipulating another player's character in way that is completely self beneficial and not pre-approved by the other player. This also includes being untouchable against NPC characters as well as being all knowing. Keep your character humanized or risk being expelled from the RP.

New Lilith: Shadows of Darkness

[An Entry To The EMERGENCE Shared Universe Roleplay Project]
| The Mavericks | New Lilith |

---

| NEW LILITH |
~Shadows of Darkness~
| GM: Lord Wraith | Deputy GM: Roman |

---

“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.”
― W.B. Yeats

New Lilith, a towering monument to progress, a city literally caught between moving forward and in the echoes of times gone by. Skyscrapers stand side by side with elegant buildings adorned with spires and other Gothic influences. Gargoyles hang over ledges, keeping a close watch over the city below as other intricate works of stone catch the eye and attention of those who walk the manicured streets. New Lilith boosts some of the best masons in all of North America and as such the city's fine craftsmanship is one of its primary draws. This attributes to New Lilith's booming tourism industry which brings people from all over to the city nearly all year round.

But fine masonry and stone working is not the only draw that New Lilith has on tourists, the city itself is home to vast and rich history spanning nearly a thousand years from when the area was first mysteriously settled to its role during the Salem Witch Trials right up to the birth of the city's revolutionary hydroelectric dam. New Lilith is always constantly moving, like the great tide that crashes against its Eastern coast every day, giving power to the city through the dam. Some say the tide is like a heartbeat, pounding as it pumps life into the city, and anyone native to New Lilith would swear the city was alive. The ground moans and groans, as though it's waking up after a long slumber, stirring as it awakens once more.

Perhaps it's because the world is changing, twenty years ago no one would have thought of putting on a mask and taking the law into their own hands and yet in a West Coast city that is exactly what has happened. People gifted with unique abilities have begun to emerge from within the crowds, people capable of changing the course of mankind. While it may have started in the West, the effects have rippled across North America and have no washed over New Lilith, drowning the city in the rising tide. Yet the question still remains, will they usher mankind into a new era of enlightenment or plunge it into the shadows of the dark ages.

Only time will tell...

SETTING:

---

| New Lilith, Rockingham County, New Hampshire State |

Geography And Climate:

New Lilith experiences a humid continental climate, with warm, humid summers, cold, wet winters, and uniform precipitation all year. The climate of the southeastern portion is moderated by the Atlantic Ocean and averages relatively milder and wetter weather, while the northern and interior portions experience cooler temperatures and lower humidity. Winters are cold and snowy throughout the state, and especially severe in the northern and mountainous areas. Average annual snowfall ranges from 60 inches (150 cm) to over 100 inches (250 cm) across the state.

Average daytime highs are in the mid 70s°F to low 80s°F (around 24–28 °C) throughout the state in July, with overnight lows in the mid 50s°F to low 60s°F (13–15 °C). January temperatures drop to an average high of 34 °F (1 °C) on the coast. Average annual precipitation statewide is roughly 40 inches (100 cm) with some variation occurring in the White Mountains outside of New Lilith. New Hampshire's highest recorded temperature was 106 °F (41 °C), while the lowest recorded temperature was −47 °F (−44 °C) atop Mount Washington.

Extreme snow is often associated with the North East, such as the Blizzard of '78 and the Blizzard of 1993, when several feet accumulated across portions of the state over 24 to 48 hours. Lighter snowfalls of several inches occur frequently throughout winter, often associated with an Alberta Clipper. New Lilith, on occasion, is affected by hurricanes and tropical storms although by the time they reach the state they are often extratropical. The city averages fewer than 20 days of thunderstorms per year and an average of two tornadoes occur annually statewide.

The shoreline is generally very rocky and rough in nature, although a few sandy beaches have been created using jetties/groins, New Lilith is home to a notable sandy beach. The city is in the temperate broadleaf and mixed forests biome, thus the area surrounding New Lilith is covered by the conifers and northern hardwoods of the New England-Acadian forests. The southeast corner of the city are covered by the mixed oaks of the Northeastern coastal forests. The typical structure of these forests includes four layers. The uppermost layer is the canopy composed of tall mature trees ranging from 33 to 66 m (100 to 200 feet) high. Below the canopy is the three-layered, shade-tolerant understory that is roughly 9 to 15 m (30 to 50 feet) shorter than the canopy. The top layer of the understory is the sub-canopy which is composed of smaller mature trees, saplings, and suppressed juvenile canopy layer trees awaiting an opening in the canopy. Below the sub-canopy is the shrub layer, composed of low growing woody plants. Typically the lowest growing (and most diverse) layer is the ground cover or herbaceous layer. Characteristic dominant broadleaf trees in this biome include oaks, beeches, maples, and birches. The term "mixed forest" comes from the inclusion of coniferous trees as a canopy component of these forests. Typical coniferous trees include: Pines, firs, and spruces.

History:

Legend tells of an ancient coastal town located in England that was erected and named in honor of the daemon Lilith. This prosperous town was filled with her followers, most of whom were females. Though the men worshipped Lilith as well, she never responded to their cries, the women however were greeted by her tender voice and soon the women of the town would meet together to call upon the Daemon Queen. These meetings took place in secret where the women were enlightened by gentle whispers which bestowed upon them the knowledge of manipulating nature in the form of magick. The women met religiously to practice the arts of their mistress in private, afraid of what the men of the village would do if they found out the powers the woman had been taught by the whispers in the dark while their cries were left unanswered.

The town eventually fell to a Viking raid, as the invaders from the North came ashore, cutting down the men who rose to defend the town. The vikings razed the town, killing the children and livestock while they rounded up the frightened women, binding them and dragging them back to their longboats. Loading the woman on board, the Vikings pushed off and began to set sail for home, and perhaps the woman would have ended up in Denmark had the Captain not gotten anxious and decided to force himself on the youngest among them. Not willing to be raped or beaten into submission as the VIkings had planned for them, the woman turned on their captor, reaching out to the power Lilith had taught her as she drained the life from the man before her. Drawing their weapons, the other Vikings turned on the woman, only for her sisters to follow her lead and rise up, freeing themselves as they destroyed the men who opposed them.

Despite having freed themselves, the women had never left their town before the day they had been captured let alone sailed a ship. Calling once again on Lilith, the women could only hope she could save them. Though many days and nights passed over their heads and the Vikings' rations depleted, the women were awoke one day as the Longboat ran aground. Starved, dehydrated and sick, they ventured onto the land where Lilith taught them how to renew their strength in the vast resources before them. They learned to hunt, they learned to survive as Lilith showed them the way and the woman soon put together a settlement. Eventually they came in contact with the aboriginals who inhabited the land and through Lilith's magick, learned to communicate with them.Brokering deals with the natives, the women soon established a settlement of their own as they rebuilt what they had lost. They all eventually made a home and married men who they met on the land and the settlement flourished and prospered for many generations.

As the settlement grew into a village which grew into a town, the people named it New Lilith, after the supernatural power the woman believed had guided them to their new home. However while the town continued to flourish, peace would not last long as New Hampshire fell into the conflicts of the Witch Trials. These trials brought angry colonists from all around the state and the adjacent ones into New Lilith where they attempted to stamp out every last witch and worshipper of Lilith. Part of the town was razed during the trials only for it to be rebuilt. During the eighteenth century, new colonist came to New Lilith, bringing within the Gothic Architecture Revival as the town was slowly transformed using stone from the nearby mountains to create the grand historical buildings which still stand today. The stone removal site was eventually made into a quarry which like the stone buildings, remains in operation.

But architecture was not the only industry which flourished as the townspeople began to build mills and harvest the lush lumber from the forests which surrounded the city. This industry would continue to grow and flourish lasting through the Civil War before dying off in the late Nineties. As the lumber industry began to lose its profitable front, New Lilith had to turn to another industry in order to keep the city afloat. Turning back to its quarry, New Lilith began exporting masonry. As the renown of the stone works grew, people began to venture to the city to see the stone work which ignited the tourism industry. The city's wealth grew and it began to once again flourish in a way it hadn't in years, since the city was untouched throughout the Civil War, and both World Wars, it's history remained in pristine condition. Now New Lilith functions as both a time capsule and an industry and tourism city.

The Districts

Central:

The Spires: The Spires is the oldest area of the city consisting of an ancient City Hall made out of carved stone making it very difficult to retrofit as time went on and technology developed. That aside, the building itself is one of the most durable buildings in all of New Lilith. Aside from the City Hall, the Spires is made up of a historical downtown and is one of the focal points in tourism as people look at the older buildings. Accompanying this is the New Lilith Public Library which is nearly as old as the City Hall itself and the Hobbes University of Law. The University's administrative building was one of New Lilith's original schools, it has been upgraded and expanded since as well as the University as a whole receiving various wings added on. The school occupies a good portion of the central city now.

The Bazaar: In addition to the historical downtown is the Bazaar district which is several blocks of historical buildings converted into novelty and specialty stores. Many of these buildings also offer apartments above the stores which can be quite pricey but often some of the nicest apartments in the city especially for the history buffs. The Bazaar is always the ending point of any historical tour through New Lilith is almost always guaranteed to be busy with tourists looking for the perfect keepsake to bring home. The Bazaar is also home to New Lilith's 'Pub Crawl' a street lined with numerous pubs and bars many themed to the city's history such as the Stein and Cauldron.

North:

The Greek Quarter: The Greek Quarter was originally the Lumber District until the lumber industry began to fall in New Lilith, as such, it has several abandoned mills within it. However in the late fifties, an influx of Greek immigrants moved into this area and turned the land into fertile farm land. As such it's now a rural community which is a stark departure from the tower urban Gothic of New Lilith's downtown. This area is also home to a few small mountains which back the old quarry from where most of New Lilith's stone came from. The quarry is still in use today but to a lesser extend. A few small mines are also located near the quarry, though they don't produce much, the mines are home to several precious and semi-precious gems. The mountains also house a large Ski Resort which is a huge hit with natives and tourists alike when the winter months come. The mountains also contain ancient ruins of some sort of stone ring not unlike that of Stonehenge, it's a rather popular place for both tourists and teenagers a like. The 'Stone Ring' as its known is also referred to as the 'Lover's Ring' and has seen its fair share of nudity and proposals.

The Farmer's Market: An extension of the Greek Quarter, the Farmer's Market is the middle ground between Suburbia and the Rural Farms. The Farmer's Market is exactly what its name suggests, a market run by the farmers of New Lilith. The area consists of both permanent and semi-permanent structures which are removed when the season passes. During the summer and harvest months, the Market is filled with stalls of fresh fruit, vegetables, home made pastries and numerous other ideas. As well the area is occupied by flea markets and tradesmen peddling their wares. Butcher shops can be found newby and there's always livestock or pets for sale. In the winter, the area occupied from the stalls is turned into several large ice rinks allowing for public skating or hockey games. The city erects bleachers to ensure the public can watch and someone is always serving coffee, apple cider, tea or hot chocolate on site.

East:

East City: While not as old as the downtown, East City is comprised of older homes, the oldest of which date back to the forties and the newest of which date back to the seventies. Amidst these homes is the Hobbes Elementary School and the Abramson Secondary School, not to mention the older convenience stores which dot the corners of the streets. You can occasionally find a more modern building or store in the area but it's rare since the city tries to protect its 'historical' buildings.

The Docks: As the name implies, the Docks lay along New Lilith's coastline and consist of a variety of different notable locations. While most of the shoreline is in fact rocky and rather rough, Snowy Beach is made of perfect white sand and kept groomed by the city. Always a popular location in the summer, the beach is backed by several restaurants and aquatic sport related stores. Down the coast a little further lies the harbour with the wharfs and warehouses atop of great wooden structures to compensate for the tide. Slightly further South lies the construction of New Lilith's famous Hydroelectric Tidal Dam which produces enough power for more than half the city on its own.

South:

The Tower District: Directly to the South of the downtown, the Tower district is made up of fairly modern buildings primarily skyscrapers which consist of offices, apartments and condos. The tower district is also home to numerous clubs which means there's not a time of day when the Tower District isn't crawling with people as men and women of all ages come to blow off steam when the sun goes down losing themselves in the melodies of one of the city's talented DJs. Aside from hopping clubs, the Tower District is also home to numerous upper class restaurants all of which serve the very finest in dining.

Little Orleans: Backed by a river which flows both into a swamp and down into the Atlantic, Little Orleans is another ethnic area in New Lilith. Originally home to French colonies, they were eventually outnumbered by the English and absorbed into New Lilith. However, they still managed to preserve their ethnic background though Little Orleans has much more in common with New Orleans in Mississippi opposed to the city in France it named itself after originally. Perhaps to improve tourism for itself, Little Orleans celebrate Mardi Gras each year just like New Orleans. Homes here have a distinct European flavour while the Catholic church and Our Immaculate Hope Catholic School embody the Gothic architecture of New Lilith proper.

West:

New City: New City embodies its name in every sense as the Inner West District of the city is made of modern supermalls, fast food and restaurant chains and homes built within the last twenty years. It's also home to two elementary schools, New Lilith Elementary School and the Calvin Elementary Institute. New City also contains two high schools, the New Lilith Vocational Academy and the Thomas Aquinas Secondary School. Also not to be outdone by the Hobbes University of Law, New City contains the New Lilith Institute of Technology. Several apartment buildings and condos can also be found in New City. Many of the city's auto dealers are found on this end of town as well.

West End: The West End can essentially be looked at as an extension of New City with a great emphasis on residential as it thins out into homes before turning into freeways towards the rest of New Hampshire. West End has its own stores, though mainly smaller chains as well as a few restaurants and convenience stores. There are also several small business offices in the West End though these are primary entrepreneurs working out of their homes or small shared lots.

Notable Locations

~Will Be Updated As Locations Are Mentioned in the IC~
Central:

The Stein And Cauldron: A highly popular pub and bar run by Serena Ravencroft, it's a popular hang out for both the Highway Men and the local student body. The pub is open everyday from 4pm to 3am and serves some of the best chicken wings and fries in the city. If that's not enough to sell you on it, it tends to only hire very attractive people and the dance floor is known to get clothes to fall off.

The Lamp: In the Bazaar District, The Lamp is a small but reputable antique shop that deals largely in Gothic and ancient artifacts located below a generally active apartment complex. It's complete inventory, due largely to a small group of highly sought after pieces, is worth a total of approximately twelve-million dollars. Though it has a decent supply of less valuable items to keep revenue flowing regularly. It is owned and operated by Warren Whimer, who had purchased it from a bank after it's previous owner had used the space for a video rental shop before mysteriously disappearing.

North:

New Lilith Ski Resort: The New Lilith Ski Resort is open from the first snow fall to the end of March. In the summer its slopes and trails are used for biking and offroading but in the winter it's home to numerous skiers, snowboarders and even has a toboggan and tube hill. The resort also includes a full hotel, including the pool, hot tub and restaurant.

The Hydroelectric Tidal Dam: New Lilith's Hydroelectric Tidal Dam creates about 80% of the city's power needs for the years and creates these currents based on the rising and lowering tide. It's unique design was provided by Richard Murdoch who was flown in from Kilbride in Washington state during the early 2000's to work alongside the city's engineers. The project was a success and has thus led to several identical dams to be commissioned in other coastal cities.

Gangs:

The Highway Men: The Highway Men are a well establish biker gang that runs out of New Lilith's west end. Specializing in preying on travelers and stealing their cars, the Highway Men have quite a reputation out near the freeways. They operate out of several garages around the city, keeping their base on the move since their last leader was busted just over two years ago. These garages are all equipped for stripping a car of its identifiers and making it easy to sell on the black market. While they weren't originally a violent gang, ever since the new leader took over the Highway Men have become steadily more vicious in their attacks and car jackings.

The Welcome Crew: Primary made up of bored local rich kids ranging from mid to late teens, the 'Welcome Crew' prey on lone or weak looking tourists. Once they've found a target they split their numbers in half, with the one half running ahead to find an ambush alley while the other half tails the target. Once the target passes the ambush point, the 'Crew drag them into the alley where the rest of the gang rushes in and the collective group brutally beats the tourists before running away leaving the victim in critical condition and sometimes dead. Police believe that the gang is run by a single authoritative figure who has found a way to manipulate these kids.

Anarchists: The Anarchists are a small terrorist cell bent on causing as much chaos as they can at a time. Often they employ arson as their primary means of attack but they're no strangers to bombs and other forms of explosives. If they can get their hands on guns or other firearms they will use them but most of their attacks are done using untraceable home made devices. The Anarchists tend to target the historical areas of the city to cause the most harm, however thus far due to their amateur nature they've been stopped. The police can't seem to isolate the leaders though and with each failed attempt the next one puts more and more of the city's populace at risk.

Organized Crime:

Five Coins: One of New Lilith's oldest legends says that the city's original founders have five ceremony coins minted to mark the occasion. It was also said that these fives coins were stolen by a group of thieves. The Five Coins are a secret sect of thieves who live and operate within New Lilith though many dismiss them as urban legends and fictional. The police refuse to take the notion of a underground network of thieves secretly despite the fact the Coins leave a signature calling card in the form of a gold coin. The Five Coins live by a very strict code and anyone in the group who kills or attacks while performing a heist is immediately kicked out of the group and turned into the police either by way of entrapment or a frame job. It is unknown if the Coins have a set headquarters or if they're nomadic, constantly changing their base of operations from location to location within New Lilith.

Human Traffickers: No one knows the name of the group who is behind the kidnappings in New Lilith, but there's a small group of human traffickers who preys on anyone out alone in the dark. Police can't seem to find a pattern as people of all ages, genders and race go missing at random never to be heard from again. Any of the bodies that have showed up have been stripped of both their blood and their organs. Police believe there's some kind of black market deal behind this but they have no leads as neither the bodies nor the kidnapping sights yield any evidence.

The Courtesan: New Lilith's Brothel House operates out of the Bazaar District from the back of the 'Courtesan' bar and club. A gray area in terms of legalities, this highly functional prostitution house sees a fair share of patrons from the Towers almost every night while in the day operates as a historical feature. While the police have tried to make a few arrest, the owner of the Brothel, Miss. Mina Harker, has always been able to clear the building as legal. Though rumors say that quite a few of the workers are acquired through less than legal means, in addition to the fact that quite often someone who 'forgets' to tip can be found dead as a doornail in a dumpster a few blocks away. Despite all this Miss Harker proclaims his establishment to be the shining example of legal, it also doesn't hurt that Miss Harker seems to have access to immeasurable wealth.

The Coven: The Coven is a group of supposed 'witches' but in reality they just seem to be a group of animal and environmental activists who use traditional stereotypes combined with nature based religions to entice people to believe that are in fact witches. So far they haven't caused any damage to the city or caused anyone bodily harm. to any of the citizens. But they have been detained for unlawful gathering and protests. Police are keeping a close eye on them as they fear their methods will grow more extreme especially with the attention the media has been giving other gangs in the city.

Drug Trade: The drug trade is rather high in New Lilith, specifically in the form of crystal meth and crack cocaine. Heroin is also readily available in most shady alleys. The police have tried to close down a few different labs and dealers but no one keep springing up in their place, as long as there is crime in New Lilith the drug trade will continue to be active.
