Location: Outside the Retribution ---> Inside; the Medical Bay
Dorothy nodded at her captain. The time they spent waiting out the reavers had given Dorothy plenty of opportunity to pack her own things, creating a complicated by intuitive organization system for her belongings. Her obsessive need for organization was a benefit there. And from what she knew, most everyone on the ship had either packed then or just finished up today. It'd be necessary for them to finish, at any rate, with the sale of the ship and the purchase of a new one.
"Believe so, Captain," Dorothy answered, as to whether everything was packed up. "I'll get right on that," she then replied, agreeing to go through a do a final check of everyone's belongings. She couldn't deny that she wished she could take some of the Alliance medical equipment with them, but Anisa was right. It wouldn't end well and Dorothy wasn't going to disobey her captain. She could only hope that no one on the ship would pose an issue.
A three day layover did sound nice, Dorothy couldn't help but muse. It'd be a good time to stretch her legs and explore a little bit, as well as take a bit of time to enjoy just being alive. She glanced over at Harper, fighting the impulse to salute back at him as he approached. She tried to avoid falling back into Alliance military habits. She raised a bit of an eyebrow at Harper's implication, since she was still unaware of the entire situation. All she knew was that there was definitely something funny going on, but if it didn't bother Anisa, then it didn't bother her. It wasn't her business, anyways.
She listened to Anisa's instructions to Harper, though her eye was caught by Daphne heading off the ship, and making her way into town. She bit her lip ever so slightly, hoping that her sister had at least finished packing before she left. And if she hadn't, Dorothy figured she'd just finish up for her. She hoped that her sister would be staying with them, and if Daphne elected to leave the crew, odds were Dorothy would follow her sister. It was a tough choice that she hoped she wouldn't have to make.
"Captain, Harper," Dorothy nodded, before heading back into the ship. She bit her lip slightly, deciding between checking in on Atticus and Foy, or going to try to get Jahosafat up and moving. She nearly wanted a coin to flip, in order to make the decision for her. She sighed a bit before heading into the medical bay, knocking twice on the door in an attempt to alert Jahosafat to her presence.
"Doc, you up? You packed?" Dorothy asked, hoping that the man was awake and coherent. Her plan B, after all, would be to spray him with water and she doubted his suit would appreciate that.
@Pundii You're getting better, hun. ^^ And feel free to #ShamelessPlug away.

Name: Guinevere Victoria Stark Aliases: Starkette, Guin, Guina (by Pietro only), Stark Jr., Iron Star, Guin Maximoff-Stark Age: 22 Birthday: January 19th, 2000 Birth Place: New York, New York Gender: Female Powers: Mind Switch and Telepathy Editorial Nickname: the Stark Legacy Alignment: Chaotic Good How many years have they been at the mansion?: Three
Appearance
Height: 5'3" Weight: 130 pounds Build: Curvy Eyes: Blue-green Hair: Golden Brown Skin Tone: Lightly tanned Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: Rebel Alliance Insignia on Left Ankle; Jagged scar on midsection; Small scar on left shoulder Personal Style: In formal settings, Guin gravitates towards a blazer, gloves, and slacks. She isn't very much into skirts or dresses at all. However, in day to day scenarios, she loves combat boots and flannels thrown over a concert t-shirt. She prioritizes comfort over style, wanting something that's easy to move around in and work on, given how much time she spends leaning over engines. However, that doesn't mean she dresses like a slob. On occasion, she will just steal Pietro's clothes and wear them instead.
Sexuality: Bisexual Relationship Status: Married to Pietro Maximoff Personality: Guin is very clearly her father's daughter. She is incredibly intelligent and her mind processes information at a speed that only speedsters can rival, causing her to be able to quickly solve tricky engineering problems in seconds. Her quick wit and intelligence cause her to spew near constant sarcasm, as well as act a bit impulsive. Once she's made her mind up on something, it's rare that she'll actually change it. It also means that she can sometimes lose sight of the bigger picture, instead focusing on the problems she can solve at the moment.
Her geekiness goes hand in hand with her obsessive nature. Her words are laced with references to her favorite movies and games, stemming from the fact that she tends to binge on anything that interests her. For example, she watched both Star Wars trilogies for the first time in one day. And then watched them again the next day. And the day after that....Of course, this obsession also shows up when it comes to projects she's working on. She's much more likely to throw herself at a problem, working day and night (fueled only by energy drinks) until she's finished with it.

How did you discover your powers: Guin had no powers - or so she thought. She became one of the youngest S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in history, at the tender age of 18 years old. When she turned eighteen, she was approached by S.H.I.E.L.D. due to her unique relationship with the Avengers. While James Rhodes may be her godfather on paper, the Avengers team as a whole tends to act as if they are her godparents as well. S.H.I.E.L.D. needed someone who could act as a liaison between various groups of enhanced individuals and she fit the bill. Agent Coulson was the one who pulled the strings to hire her, as well as to protect her identity.
It was through her work with S.H.I.E.L.D. that Guin ended up at the Brotherhood Headquarters in New York. She was part of a team attempting to stop Magneto from releasing a virus that would wipe out the human race. During the mission, she ended up going head to head against Scarlet Witch - and then something strange happened. She found herself in Scarlet Witch's body, able to control all of Wanda's powers. At first, she thought it was Scarlet Witch that had caused them to swap, but Guin later realized it was her - she was a mutant. The stress of the situation must have caused a non-expressed X-gene to appear.
General History: Guin is the only daughter of Tony Stark and reality TV star Maddie Le Fay (born Madison Cromwell). Her parents met on a program similar to the Bachelor and hooked up on set, causing the tabloids to go wild. Of course, the headlines and the drama only increased when Tony didn't pick her mother as the winner of the show. It wasn't until Maddie realized she was pregnant that the pair saw each other again, and nine months later, little baby Guinevere had arrived.
Guin was sent to live with Tony, since her mother decided she couldn't be bothered to care for an infant as she was signing onto more and more reality shows. Her childhood, understandably, was fairly troubled as reporters swarmed her no matter where she went. They would wait outside of Stark Tower (later called Avengers Tower) just to get a glimpse at her, to get the shot for the Daily Bugle of the youngest Stark and future owner of Stark Industries, a weapons manufacturing company at the time. They were hoping that she'd prove to be as reckless and wild as her father in order to sell papers.
When she was seven years old, Tony sent Guin off to boarding school. Or rather, Rhodey and Happy suggested it and Tony was too drunk to argue with them. Her classmates at the school were the children of celebrities and government officials, with her best friend at one point being the daughter of Britain's Prime Minister. It did wonders for her social development, but each time she was back in New York, the mobs would start again and Guin would withdraw into her room, not wanting to deal with them.
At the age of ten, her father was abducted by the Ten Rings--a terrorist organization in Afghanistan--and held hostage for three months. The security at Guin's school was increased, as there were fears that the heiress to Stark Industries would be targeted next. (Of course, they were correct to be afraid, as it would later turn out that Obidiah, a family friend, had been responsible for the near murder of Tony Stark, all in a ploy to seize control of Stark Industries). Her school also provided Guin with extra lessons in defense, lessons that allowed her to become quite skilled in combat and would later be continued with Black Widow.
When Guin reached her teens, she fell heavily into the gaming community. She eventually used the name Starkette when online, a nickname that her father had given her when she jokingly asked what her Avengers codename would be. She learned how to hack into systems and how to build computers, showing off the skills that her father and her grandfather both boasted. Whenever she was home in New York, she was messing around with her father and his machines, even managing to take Iron Man suits for joyrides in New York, and crashing a fair number of them into the river.
But it was clear that boarding school wasn't working out for her. When she was fifteen, the Brotherhood attacked her school and ended up holding her hostage. It was the beginning of a bit of a downward spiral, as her Stark intelligence was causing her thoughts to accelerate more and more, and she wanted to slow them down - to get them in sync with the speed of the world. She ended up doing drugs and landed herself in rehab. After this, Tony had decided that enough was enough and he transferred her to Midtown Science and Tech, hoping that he could keep a better eye on her.
Midtown Science and Tech was a better fit for her than boarding school had been, but it still wasn't easy. She went to school with her best friend, Lance, and got into detention plenty of times for mouthing off to the teachers. It wasn't until an incident involving Hammer Industries at the Stark Expo occurred that she began to get her act together. In addition to this inner struggle, most of the kids at school also begged for her to throw parties and ditch Lance. She ended up being outcasted once they figured out she wasn't a partier like her father, but she didn't mind. She had true friends at that point.
She interned at Stark Industries, partially out of nepotism but also because she was gifted when it came to computers and tech, and earned a full ride to New York University. Her father had wanted her to go to M.I.T. but she was a New Yorker at heart and didn't want to leave the city. And besides, N.Y.U. was the first place to recognize that Guin might have an interest beyond computers and machines, accepting her for a Chemical and Molecular Engineering program. Of course, her interest in the program came from her father's arc reactor.
The summer before her first year of college, she was then approached by S.H.I.E.L.D. to work as an agent for them, giving her life some focus that she needed. She accepted the offer in a heartbeat, excited at the prospect of working for S.H.I.E.L.D., and began assisting the X-Men and S.H.I.E.L.D. After the events in the Brotherhood Arc, where Guin discovered her mutation, she took an educational leave from S.H.I.E.L.D. and graduated from N.Y.U with her undergraduate degree. She's been living at the Institute for the time being as a member of the X-Men, trying to figure out what exactly she wants to do with her life. Does she want to go back to S.H.I.E.L.D. and become a full agent? Does she want to get her PhD? Does she want to eventually run her father's company? Or does she want to continue to be a member of the X-Men?

Guinevere Stark
"Where's the fun in life without a little rebellion?"
║ ☯ Neutral ║ ✿ Friend ║ ❅ BFF ║ ♡ Infatuation ║ ❤ Love ║ ║ ❦ Considered Family ║ ☣ Tense ║ ☢ Dislikes ║ ☠ Enemy ║
❅/☣ Marygold Isley ❅/☣ "We butt heads sometimes, but we're still best friends."
While Guin and Marygold can get into some epic arguments when they have a disagreement, those rarely happen. Instead, the pair of them are often hanging out together and chatting. Ever since Guin began her assignment with the X-Men back when she joined S.H.I.E.L.D., she had been reporting to Marygold and Professor X. It really helped to foster a friendship between the two girls, to the extent that Guin considers Marygold to be her best friend in the world. If she needs anything, Guin will get it done for her, no questions asked.
☯ Ayita Dyrkin ☯ "I wonder what her animagus form would be..."
Guin finds Ayita's power to be incredible and once she gets to know the woman better, she's definitely going to ask if she could shift to an extinct species. Of course, there are other questions she has that are better left unsaid. However, she has noticed that Ayita has a decent taste in music and per Ayita's request (despite Ayita changing her mind a moment later), Guin has been working on designing a little piece of tech to assist Ayita on missions.
✿ Oshea Jackson ✿ "Speedy? We're tight."
After the battle at the power plant, Oshea and Guin discovered they had a few things in common. Namely, a love of video games, junk food, and building things. Guin's an engineer at heart, so she loves having someone to design things with and to construct them, especially if the things have no obvious use or purpose.
✿ Allison Andrews ✿ "She's definitely a bubbly personality."
Guin and Allison have become friends over the past month or so. It helped that Allison was close with Guin's best friend, but the pair of them honestly enjoy hanging out with each other. Plus, it doesn't hurt that Guin is willing to share "celebrity gossip" with Allison about her father and some of his friends.
✿ Professor X ✿ "He's got a big heart."
Guin has always respected Professor X, appreciating the time he takes out of his day to get to know her and to work with her. It's rare to meet someone like Xavier, since it's so easy to become consumed by rage and turn into the likes of Magneto. To Guin, Professor X ranks up there with individuals like Gandhi. He's doing so much to make the world a better place, doing more in a week than most people do in a lifetime.
✿ Hank McCoy ✿ "He's become something like a mentor to me over the past month."
With Guin's "return" to college, her schedule became much busier. She spent her mornings in New York City at N.Y.U., working on her labs for her degree in chemical and molecular engineering. After the four to six hour lab ended, she'd then hop in one of her father's cars and head back to Xavier's Institute. Hank's been a rock of support for her lately, helping her with lab reports and keeping her stress levels down. He's even offered to let her work in the lab with him.
❦/❅ Cassandra Reed ❦/❅ "She's the sister I never had and didn't know I wanted."
Guin has always had a close relationship with her Supervising Officer (S.O.). Cassandra serves as her mentor for S.H.I.E.L.D. operations, but also helps Guin juggle getting her bachelor's degree and simultaneously, training on the job as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. If there's anyone that Guin trusts implicitly and would never defy, it'd be Cassandra.
☯ Damon Fawkes ☯ "His power has to be the most insane thing in the known universe."
Guin wishes that she and Damon got along, mostly because the power to turn your tattoos into actual beings? That's awesome as fuck. Her admiration of the power could be compared to Iron Man's curiosity over the Hulk. Unfortunately, Guin loves chaos and Damon prefers order. The pair of them likely won't become good friends anytime soon.
☠ Nina van Essenhout ☠ "If it walks like a bitch and it talks like a bitch..."
Needless to say, Guin and Marina don't get along. At all. And the day that they do get along is the day that world peace is finally achieved. Not only did Nina steal classified blueprints from Stark Industries and seduce Guin's father, but the woman has the nerve to treat her like a child. Guin begrudgingly works with Nina, but she doesn't trust the woman. And despite Nina's good relationship with someone Guin looks up to dearly, she doubt she ever will.
❦ Tony Stark ❦ "Four words. Genius billionaire playboy philanthropist."
To an outsider, Guin and Tony don't have the best of relationships. The two of them are constantly arguing with each other, as they're both incredibly stubborn. However, this fighting arises because of how similar the two are. They have almost identical personalities and do care fiercely about the other, even if it looks a little odd to outsiders. Guin would never openly admit this, but she looks up to her father. He's been her hero long before he became Iron Man.
♡ Pietro Maximoff ♡ "He's weird. I really like him."
Guin has dated a few people before, but she's never really had a proper boyfriend. The circumstances in which she met Pietro practically came from the screenplay of a romantic comedy, and as silly as it sounds, there's something about him that she just can't quite put her finger on. They have the same taste in music, enjoy the same games, and Guin genuinely enjoys spending time with him. Of course, he's incredibly hot, which doesn't hurt.
✿ Carolina Reed ✿ "She's my S.O.'s little sister."
While Carolina and Guin don't have much in common, Guin treats Carolina like a friend. She's Cassandra's younger sister and new to the X-Men, as well as having a decorated past from what Guin has read in the S.H.I.E.L.D files. The two of them manage to get along fairly well, despite not hanging out with each other or interacting too much. Most of their interaction is through Cassandra.

Last week, it was if an elevator lifted Thor's hammer, is it worthy of the power of Thor?" Ever since Guin joined the X-Men and no longer shared a room with Marygold, their friendship became stronger. Marygold no longer had to put up with frequent requests for Pietro to "sleep over." They hang out a fair deal now, occasionally butting heads due to their stubborn personalities. If there was anyone in the world that Guin considered a sister, it's Marygold. They've been there for each other for a lot of crazy things in the past few years. 🎆 Ayita Dyrkin 🎆 "There are some calls that we never want to make." Although others may be wary of Ayita after she killed Wonderland, Guin doesn't hold it against her. In the heat of the moment, in combat, tough decisions have to be made. She doesn't doubt that Wonderland would have killed Ayita if she had the chance. But this is the mentality that they have at S.H.I.E.L.D. - that some threats will inevitably have to be eliminated. Ayita made a choice that has left many a good agent sleepless and filled with guilt. She has to respect her for bearing that weight. 💙 Allison Andrews 💙 "Everything that happened...It changed her." While Guin will take just about any excuse to spend her father's money - and that certainly means taking Allison out on a shopping trip - the two of them have had their friendship strengthen. After all of the fighting with the Brotherhood, Allison began to confide in Guin. And while Guin isn't always the most traditionally sympathetic of people, she cares deeply about her friends. Just as Guin fills Allison in on the latest celebrity gossip, she also serves as a shoulder for Allison to lean on when she needs it. 🎆 Charles Xavier 🎆 "I should probably be angry with him." Xavier knew that Guin was a mutant long before she herself discovered that fact, thanks to the power of Cerebro. Even Guin is shocked that she isn't furious at him for withholding that piece of information and she can't explain why she isn't. She no longer sees him as the gentle grandfather figure she did when she first met. A little bit of that illusion has vanished. He's a good man - but even Xavier can't have all the answers. 💛 Hank McCoy 💛 "Hey, sorry about making a mess in the lab...again..." Beast helped to mentor Guin as she completed her undergraduate education, earning her degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. While she has returned to her more computerized roots in terms of engineering, she does use the lab from time to time. Beast has given her a space in which she can work, letting her tinker around with whatever tickles her fancy at the time. He's an excellent colleague and a good friend. 💗/💓 Pietro Maximoff 💓/💗 "I feel safe when I'm around him." Before Pietro, Guin hadn't gone on many dates. There had been a few boys and girls in high school, but nothing ever lasted. Now she's been in a steady relationship for over a year and while the thought of that level of commitment goes contrary to how she was raised, she's deeply in love with Pietro Maximoff. He helped her learn to control her mutation and she's been teaching him about chemical engineering (the end goal is to find an alcohol that will actually get the speedster drunk...It's a work in progress). Symbol Damon Fawkes Symbol "Overall Thoughts On The Character" Relation Details 💛 Carolina Reed 💛 "Our whole universe was in a hot, dense state! Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started, wait!" Guin and Carolina have continued to be friends, bonding over a Big Bang Theory marathon in June, right after Guin graduated from N.Y.U. They have similar mutations and have done a session in the Danger Room together once, but Guin hasn't opened up to Carolina much beyond that. She's a bit of a private person - loud, yes, but private. It also doesn't hurt that Guin is good friends with Carolina's sister. 💛 Charlie Farrier 💛 "Rematch, punk." Guin and Charlie interact primarily through video games. She used to be pretty deep in the gaming community - but that doesn't mean she's stopped playing by any means. She just prefers amateur gaming now, no longer working in the competitive arena and going head to head against other gamers at conventions during tournaments. Charlie shares her love of video games, with the two of them having built up a friendly rivalry over them. They're fairly evenly matched in terms of skills as well, which helps. 💛 Mira Adebayo 💛 "Hey, Sonic! Take a look at these thrusters, will you?" Guin met Mira when the younger mutant wandered into the lab one day while she was working. She was teaching herself mechanics by fixing up some old pieces of Stark tech and Mira happened to point out an issue with the stabilizers she herself hadn't seen yet. After being taken aback for a moment, the pair of them instantly hit it off. Mira's technological knowledge and ideas are, in Guin's words, inspired. They're science bros. 💙 Lance Banner 💙 "Double Dash time!!" Lance and Guin have known each other for about eight years now. At first, their friendship was primarily playing video games, but when they went to the same high school, they were lab partners. She didn't care that his father was the Hulk - so what? Her father was Iron Man. It didn't change who she was as a person - if anything, it was just a little bit of trivia. Plus, it was refreshing to know another kid her age who could keep up with her when it came to science - well, besides Peter. She's unaware of the crush he has on her but she'd never have any sort of romantic interest in him. She'd see him as a brother before she'd ever see him as a potential boyfriend. 🌓 Richard Laine 🌓 "Everyone deserves a second chance." Guin doesn't trust Richard by any means. From what she's gathered, two things motivate him - his sister and money. Now that he has one, she's watching him carefully to see what his next move will be. He seems to like her but that isn't enough for her to put her guard down around him. But every person does have their price...Maybe one day he can be trusted fully. For now, Guin is giving him a chance to redeem himself. Her family has had their fair share of redemption stories and it'd be hypocritical of her to not give Richard a chance. Hopefully he doesn't make her regret lying to Fury for him. 💙/💕 Cassandra Reed 💕/💙 "If there's anything about S.H.I.E.L.D. I miss, it's my S.O." Guin was nervous to tell Cassandra that she was leaving S.H.I.E.L.D. - but to her surprise, Cassandra supported her decision. She's been there for Guin as she's come to terms with her powers and her identity ever since they fought the Brotherhood. Maybe one day she'll return to S.H.I.E.L.D. and become a full agent, but knowing that Cassandra supports her either way has been a bit of a relief. She's a bit like an older sister to Guin. 👿 Nina van Essenhout 👿 "It's atomic number 67, ladies and gents!" Sure, Nina did turn out to be semi-useful on the last mission. Does that change the way that Guin views her? If you guessed not at all, then you're correct! Guin still views her as a symbol for all of the women her father slept with, whether Guin herself realizes it or not. Combine that with the fact that Guin finds her to be incredibly patronizing and that she stole classified information from Stark Industries, she's at the top of Guin's least favorite people list. That was one of the benefits of her leaving S.H.I.E.L.D. - she didn't have to deal with Nina anymore. 🎆/💞 Tony Stark 💞/🎆 "As cliché as it is, he was my hero when I was little - even before he put on a suit." Guin's relationship with her father wasn't always the greatest. She only saw him during the summers until she was 16 years old and dealing with typical adolescent drama. Yet now that she's older, she not only has a better relationship with Tony, but she respects him as well. Sure, he has a hard time remembering she's not a child anymore - and yes, they butt heads quite frequently - but it's all because they're family and they care about one another. They're just both terrible at expressing that sentiment.

Mary and Guin have always butt heads - they're both stubborn, opinionated, and refuse to compromise to the other's vision. For a brief period after Guin developed her powers, they were close enough to consider one another family. The tension and infighting surrounding OMEN's attack on the mansion changed things between them - and while they are still best friends, their friendship does not have firm footing. 🎆 Ayita Dyrkin 🎆 "She's a wild child - but not in the way most people are." Ayita is reckless, untamable, and naive to the ways of the world - but she also has amazing inner strength, loyalty, and dedication. Guin respected her ever since Ayita made the tough call at the Brotherhood Lab and the shifter has continued to stick to her principles, even if it means going against the rest of the group. As irritating as that is, it also causes Guin to like the shifter all the more. Not very many people can stand up to their friends. 💙 Allison Andrews 💙 "Let the past die...Kill it if you have to..." Although some might have anticipated Guin and Allison's friendship to deteriorate thanks to the events of the fight against OMEN and the infighting, Muscles' death (Future Pietro) was incredibly similar to Oshea's death. Both girls have gone through a harrowing struggle, losing someone they cared about in battle, and honestly ought to talk to each other about it. But Guin isn't ready to seek out help from Allison. Not yet. 💛 Carolina Reed 💛 "Sweet Caroline..." Carolina and Guin are training buddies from time to time, as they have similar power sets. Both of them have killed people and although Guin didn't open up to her about it, Carolina has been a source of comfort for her over it. She's secretly trying to set up Carolina with Lance. She thinks they'll be a far better couple than Carolina and Dean. 💛 Richard Laine 💛 "He's really annoying." Richard is currently looking into the death of Guin's grandfather, but more often than not, he seems to pop up and pester her for information about who is dating who in the Mansion. He then has this irritating habit of ruffling her hair which Guin hates and makes her want to punch him in the jaw. Of course, she's oblivious to how protective over her Richard is and the fact that he has more or less 'adopted' her. 🎆/💛 Mirembe Adebayo 💛/🎆 "I shouldn't have asked you to do that." Guin still feels guilty over devising the plan at the OMEN facility that resulted in Mira killing dozens of agents. Mira is her friend and she just used her. Perhaps the mutant from Wakanda doesn't blame her or maybe she does - either way, Guin wants to make things up to Mira one day. She owes her. 💜/💕 Lance Banner 💕/💜 "I'm glad to have my brother back." Guin and Lance grew up together, practically siblings. They lost contact for a little over a year when they both graduated high school and went off to college, but now that they're both with the X-Men, they've picked up where they left off. Guin feels comfortable confiding in Lance and enjoys working on projects with him, calling him her Lab Husband. 👋 Sara Grey 👋 "Shouldn't her hair be red?" Guin has yet to properly interact with Sara, beyond in the capacity of the team. She knows that Sara is the niece of the famous Jean Grey, but not much else. 👋 Dean Kesseli 👋 "He's really good at dodging things." Guin doesn't interact with Dean very much. On occasion, she'll attempt to train him a bit in combat as part of her duties as a member of the team, but he's slow to pick up concepts and a frustrating student in her opinion. 👋 Bethany Bell 👋 "If Beth turned into a gun, would it be called a BB gun?" Guin doesn't know much about Beth, yet she has noted that the Mistress of Darkness' first and last name begin with the same letter. It reminds her of Wade Wilson's name. 💛 Antoinette McCarthy 💛 "Did you see last week's episode?" While Guin has become more emotionally closed off, she did end up making a new friend - Annie. Annie's enjoyment of history and storytelling has matched up nicely with Guin's tendency to binge watch TV shows - and some of them are set in the past. Every now and then, they'll discuss Downtown Abbey and the likes. 👋 Neil Spellman 👋 "He reminds me a bit of my friend Peter." Guin's seen kids like him before - hell, she kind of did the entire 'avoid everyone' routine back at boarding school. It doesn't help things and she hopes that he realizes that. Maybe if she keeps subtly calling him Nico di Angelo he might figure that out. ♨️ Professor X ♨️ "Where was he when we needed him most?" Guin understands the chain of command, especially that Professor X himself does not fight. Yet when they were at Stark Tower and attempting to sort things out, he was absent and unhelpful. At the very least, he should have stepped up for the students, if not for his X-Men. But they fight in his name. He should have helped them come up with a plan. Guin cannot help but blame his carelessness for Muscles' death. 🎆 Beast 🎆 "Hank's brilliant." Guin has been working in the lab ever since she moved into the mansion. She needs to keep her hands busy and her mind fixated on a problem, otherwise she's like an ADHD demigod in a Rick Riordan novel. Beast helped her make that happen, even going over her college lab reports with her. Not very many people enjoy having to share their lab space, but Beast never complained. Guin respects him deeply. 💜/💓/💗/💕 Quicksilver 💕/💗/💓/💜 "My other half." Guin can no longer picture her life without Pietro - and if she ever tries to, it just seems like it'd be a sad and lonely existence. He makes her smile and laugh, and she feels comfortable and safe around him. They even share a mental link together, allowing her to always have him in the back of her head. They're connected in a way she didn't believe was possible beyond the realm of fairytales. She has and would kill for him. He's everything to her. 💞/💓 Iron Man 💓/💞 "People say that I'm just like my father." Guin and Tony haven't always had the best of relationships. Growing up, he tended to be more into partying than parenting, having the help do those tasks for him. It was only after Tony became Iron Man that he started to put in the effort to raise his daughter. And like most teenagers, she was mad at her father and resented him. It's now that she's in her twenties and doing superhero work of her own that she can truly emphasize with him. She loves her father, her only real blood family.

Guin is a little weird around Mira - they used to have been good friends, but they've drifted apart.

@mnkee Loved the little photo thing you made, very cute. :) And lol, if their dad tries to get Thalcona with James, he'll have something in common with Mrs. Wyndham.
Hiring him to get dirt is possible, but I feel like whenever Virginia gets around to trying to stop Milli's arranged marriage, she'll ask Alfred for advice. And I'd need to watch a bit more Gotham to get a feel for what his recommendations would be.
Itll take a lot to get Virginia to court someone too, but who knows? Depending on how the IC flow feels, it could happen. All up in the air, which I think is exciting.

Aloise embraced Emmie, rubbing the girl's back as she cried. She knew what it was like to lose someone and it was a feeling she wouldn't wish on anyone. The feeling drove people to do awful things, terrible things like making demon deals or even just killing themselves out of guilt. She bit her lip slightly at Emmie's question, honestly having no answer. It was intentional, she knew that much. Personal, perhaps? But she doubted it. It didn't look like an emotionally fueled crime, especially not with the note.
"Because they were afraid of her," Aloise finally replied, rubbing Emmie's back. "Because she was a good person, and it scared them." But really, Aloise knew that giving a definitive reason may not even help Emmie. Sometimes it was better not to know, in order to avoid spiraling down into revenge filled fantasies. "But we're tough, you and I, and we're gonna hurt them back. Hurt them worse. We're gonna get justice for her, I promise you, and you'll see her on the other side one day...hopefully not one day too soon."

The wardrobe, unfortunately so, isn't nearly so simple. While it would be nice for it to simply go between two times in the same place, it is considerably more finicky than that, or at least, so it seems. Why, even Folly, the most avid user of that little marvel, could not really predict where she was going to end up--and sometimes, not even when. Such is the luck of the draw when it comes to enchanted objects of uncertain origin. And so, when Fairfax and Eudora tumbled through the wardrobe in a hotel in 1929, they turned up...
December 28th, 2016 - Cirque Anomaly, Storage Tent
...in a circus tent in 2016. Eudora and Fairfax will stumble to their feet and find themselves in the storage tent, of sorts. Dust covers most of the objects, and as the pair of them look around, it will be clear why. These props and costumes are all out of use, belonging to performers who left the circus, either by choice or by death. Photographs are tapped to the walls of the tent, listing the cause of their departure, with a brief biography.
"Good heavens!" Fairfax whispers, the first of such photographs catching his eye. "Why, is that not Amiyra's mother?" He pointed at a photograph labeled Fiodora Valeska, with a description of her time with the circus as a contortionist, ending with her murder. Various objects of hers are kept near the photograph. Perhaps a cemetery would be a better word than a storage tent.
This is where the circus members are remembered after they die.

Strong looks a bit dumbfounded when Lilith mentions a wardrobe. "Like...a closet? Is she gay?" Strong asks, entirely sincerely, without a clue as to what Lilith was talking about. He couldn't think of a single place in the circus that would have a proper wardrobe, beyond the tents of the first strings. Some of them had nicer bits of furniture, but a wardrobe was a waste of space. Everyone tended to use trunks--easier to transport, doubled as seats.
"Maybe she....I've got nothing," he sighed. Thalia, however, had been in the circus for a while and close to the girl. She likely saw Folly run into town and not be seen for the rest of the day. If she strains her memory enough, she'll remember Folly mention in passing how funny she found Andromeda Aldrich's museum to be.

Liam's words do not seem to inspire any feelings of calm in the hooded figure. She continues to writhe, scream, and shriek at the top of her lungs. If her face were not concealed, perhaps beads of sweat would be seen gliding down. Or perhaps there is no face under that cloak at all. It is not immediately clear. However, as he pulls at the chains, he will realize that they are made of iron. Nothing in the room will immediately strike him as a key or useful to open them, with the heaviest object being a stapler. He'll need to get creative with that to break the chains, but it's possible.
Luckily, the salt circle seems to be in tact. But with the hooded figure's cries, Liam cannot hear the door to the room open, though he will notice light spill in. A tall, nerdy looking figure gives him a jolly wave, smiling behind thick rimmed glasses. "Fascinating," he says. "This is going even better than expected--she'll be quite pleased." Taking off his glasses and cleaning them on his shirt, he then smiles at Liam, his eyes turning black for a brief moment. "A kumakatok, a prophet, and let's not forget the mullo!" he chuckles a bit, before walking over towards Liam.
"I know all about you, but damnit, I can't remember if we've met properly before," he continues, smiling at Liam with a little shake of his head. "Left the archangel at home, did we?"

Cecily couldn't help but be reminded of her parents when Keystone used a voice to text command, instructing his phone to text Caesar and dictating a message. Her mother and father relied on Siri a bit more than was healthy, and she had countless memories of time spent with them shouting at the phone to schedule appointments and to make calls. Of course, that was perhaps the only similarity between Keystone and her parents. Her parents were greedy lawyers and Keystone was a giant. Very different people.
"Gotcha," Cecily agreed, not thrilled about the possibility of being in the line of fire. Sticking behind Keystone, a walking mountain, seemed like a good idea, as cowardly as she felt it was. "It's a Harry Potter reference," Cecily added, as Keystone asked about the broomstick comment. She had started off saying it as a joke a few months back, but it eventually stuck in her vocabulary.
She hurried after him, grimacing a bit at the sound of screaming. She could only hope that whoever the hostage was, they were as lucky in their encounter with Proserpine as she had been. It wasn't long before they rounded the corner and Cecily's heart beat a bit faster, recognizing the blonde haired woman. Even after this was all over, she was sure that Proserpine would haunt her nightmares. The woman had a needle stuck into a hostage's neck, with a gun trained on her by none other than Marc Tinder. The truly shocking thing, however, was the revelation that the hostage was Proserpine's daughter.
She's batshit crazy, Cecily thought to herself, seeing a woman ready to kill her daughter and simultaneously going to extreme efforts to abduct her. For a moment, Cecily wished that someone would just shoot Proserpine already, even if it meant the hostage losing her life. But the instant the thought ran through her mind, she couldn't help but feel deeply ashamed. Proserpine may deserve to die, but that didn't give Cecily the right to disregard the hostage's safety.
But true to her promise, the young coroner kept behind Keystone, waiting for the Hulk-sized man to make a move. This was his element, not hers. If she wanted to survive this day, she'd need to treat his word as gospel, she figured.
Meanwhile, Iris was waiting apprehensively in Cynthia's room. She was tugging on her hair, wanting to go out and help, but knowing she'd ultimately only get in the way. The asylum had already mostly gone on lockdown after Jaina and Cynthia's attacks. If she was to leave the room, she'd only be putting herself in danger. Odds were, all of the other patients had been brought to safety. The SWAT team might not have been there yet, but she had to have faith. The only problem for the doctor, of course, was that this entire situation made her feel sick to her stomach. She couldn't help anyone.

"The idea was to bring together a group of remarkable people, see if they become something more. See if they can work together when we needed them to. To fight the battles that we never could."
June 20th, 2016. We thought that we faced our deadliest foe that day. Walter Hanson, a disillusioned witch, rose Lucifer from Hell in order to bring about the end of days. Ordinary citizens and skilled hunters fought against the devil, with only a handful managing to live to tell the tale. The rest were buried in Owen's Field, if they were lucky enough to have their bodies found. The blood soaked into the ground, creating a permanent scar on the face of the Earth.
How foolish we were to think that it was all behind us.
As O.M.E.N. (the Organization for the Methodical Eradication of Necromantics) chased Hanson across the country, something ancient began to stir. Hel, the Norse Goddess of Death, was imprisoned by the Judeo-Christian deities ages ago. With the demon Mephistopheles seeking revenge against those who killed his master, Lucifer, Hel persuaded the demon to join forces with her. Their plan was simple: kill those who would oppose them and from the ashes of this world, build a better one.
Mephistopheles began to kill survivors of the Altsoba Massacre, those who had opposed Lucifer, such as Trevor Martin. He murdered the leaders of O.M.E.N. in such a fashion that would draw the most qualified hunters to Coventry, Massachusetts. It was a trap intended to slaughter them - and for the most part, it succeeded. Less than five of those who opposed Lucifer are still alive - that we know of.
Yet Hel triumphed as well. Mephistopheles imprisoned a kumakatok, preventing the kumaktok from doing what it must. These death spirits must always perform their function - there is no alternative. For a kumakatok to not manage their duties...it is a paradox, a cruel reversion of reality. It ripped holes into reality, scattering innocent victims across time and space, and released a Mullo. More importantly, it destroyed the cage that housed Hel, as her cage was made out of the fabric of reality.
Now free, Hel has already begun to slaughter the brave souls who stand against her. With the wolf Fenrir and the traitor Aloise Zamora by her side, all she needs is to acquire her cloak, banihylja. Her cloak will increase her powers exponentially, leaving humanity with the choice of kneeling to Hel or dying at her feet.
Will you stand against Hel? Or will you bow to the Goddess of Death? A team of remarkable individuals has been assembled in order to stop her. This odd company, including hunters, nephilim, fallen angels, and former Kings of Hell, is all that stands in Hel's way. The fate of the Earth rests in their hands. No, I am mistaken...
It rests in your hands.

Project S.P.I.T.F.I.R.E.
Project S.P.I.T.F.I.R.E. was one of O.M.E.N.'s first initiatives once they became a legitimate government agency. Its goal was to create shelters in each state to allow high ranking government officials to survive a potential necromantic attack. There was talk of creating public shelters but...bureaucracy. Construction had been completed on three bunkers: one in New Mexico, one in Pennsylvania, and one in Texas, until Project S.P.I.T.F.I.R.E. was shut down and replaced with a new initiative.
Thanks to the presence of several O.M.E.N. operatives and an MI13 agent, these bunkers are yours to use. They are fully stocked with a six months supply of food, weapons for 20 field agents, and housing for thirty two. Anti-magic, anti-demon, and anti-angel sigils are permanent fixtures on the walls of the bunkers. For a necromantic to enter the facility, they must use the prisoner entrance. This entrance is the only one where the sigils should ever be removed. Once the necromatic is inside, the sigils must be restored.
These most impressive feature of these complexes, believe it or not, would be their libraries. These libraries contain original copies of important supernatural texts. Knowledge is power, and while we have not fought Hel before, perhaps there are some clues to be found amongst those old books. They're real page turners, after all...
Note: each of the three complexes are identical.
A - Women’s Housing B - Women’s Restroom C - Men’s Restroom D - Lock Up E - Kitchen and Dining Hall F - Men’s Housing G - Medical H - Supply Storage I - Armory J - Overflow Housing K - Conference Room and Library L - Science and Engineering M - Assembly Area N - Long Term Prisoner Secure Housing X1 - Main Entrance/Exit X2 - Prisoner Entrance/Exit X3 - Emergency Exit
Lore of the Necromantics
~only lore deemed relevant for the RP has been included. A complete lore guide can be found here~
According to O.M.E.N., a being with supernatural and inhuman capabilities is called a necromantic. This can range from enhanced humans, such as Steve Rogers, all the way to the most darkest and complex of creatures, such as Azrael, the Angel of Death. And while this term is used in most government documents, there are other terms that are more specific and demonstrate improved understanding of the situation. The universe is a strange one, one that we can hardly understand.
In 2016, any and all powers and abilities were simply referred to as deviances. If someone was perhaps a little odd, in that they could see things that others could not, perhaps that they could heal with a single touch, or that they were immune to flames, they were said to have a deviance. Years after the Altsoba Massacre, this definition would be revoked and revised, as we will realize that it is simply more complicated than that.
Deviances refer to (often) extraordinary abilities that distinguish someone from the average human. While these can be small things, such as a sixth sense when it comes to healing and knowing what is wrong with the patient, it can be as dramatic as pyrokinesis. There is currently no method of explaining why some people gain a deviance and others do not, however.
Creatures
We are not alone in this world by any means. The creatures included here are those encountered thus far in the Abandoned Hope Universe, either directly or by simply mentioning them. As you'll notice, not all of them have complete information. Those indicated by an asterisk are ones that only those with extensive knowledge of necromantics (creatures, in this case) will be aware of. Some of those included below have more details than others. All that means is there is more to learn and discover in future roleplays~
Angels:*
Highest order immortal.
They require their host's permission for possession.
To fall, an angel must rip out their grace, an incredibly painful process.
Fallen angels are reborn as humans, yet are still able to hear the thoughts of angels around them. This is sometimes called 'angel radio.'
Angels are capable of astral projection and can appear in dreams.
They can manipulate electrical appliances, often destroying them when they appear.
Angels can find any human, provided said human does not have protective sigils.
They are capable of reality warping, telekinesis, telepathy, flight, voice mimicry, protective charms, pyrokinesis, healing, and terrakinesis.
Angels can smite almost any being with a simple touch.
They are sensitive to distortions in time.
Powerful angels are capable of biokinesis, memory manipulation, soul reading, power negation, hypnotism, and the use of a holy white light that serves as an energy blast.
Holy Fire will kill an angel, though it will only banish an archangel.
Hexbags and sigils can be used to prevent angels from tracking/finding a particular person.
The anti-christ can destroy an angel.
An angel blade can kill an angel. Only an archangel's blade can kill an archangel.
Archangels:*
Some of the first born angels, there are a limited number of them.
They are advanced immortals.
Each archangel has a specific purpose, a role to play in the cosmic scene.
Archangels are tasked with protecting Prophets of the Lord.
Known archangels include Sariel, the Archangel of Guidance, and Lucifer, the Morning Star.
Similarly to angels, archangels also must have permission in order to possess an individual.
Archangels have all of the abilities of angels.
Archangels are also capable of thermokinesis, electrokinesis, molecular combustion, shapeshifting, weather manipulation, terrakinesis, and mental manipulation.
Archangels have the same weaknesses as angels.
Death:*
An immortal being, ranking on the highest order of mortality.
Also referred to as the angel Azrael.
Death has the same weaknesses and abilities as other angels, in addition to wielding a powerful scythe capable of killing any being, even Death itself.
Demons:
Highest order immortal.
Devil's Trap: prevents a demon from leaving
Holy Water: burns demons
Exorcism: There are several differently styles of this, but all of them remove the demon from the host. Some will send the demon to hell, others will force the demon to manifest itself so it can be killed or sent to hell permanently.
Flesh Sigil: If a sigil is carved into the host's flesh, the demon will be powerless
Ghosts: Ghosts can remove a demon from its host
Hallowed Ground: Some demons are unable to enter hallowed ground, such as churches. These tend to be the weaker ones.
Hex Bags: these can hide people from a demon
Holy Fire: Holy oil lit on fire, it roasts a demon.
Iron: Demons cannot cross an iron barrier or touch iron without extreme pain
Palo Santo: Stab the demon with this, the host smokes and the demon cannot move
Damaging the host may force the demon to choose a new host, or be slowed down
Purified Blood: This, when injected into a demon, is incredibly painful.
Salt: Demons cannot step over salt, pass a salt line, or touch salt. Touching salt results in (you guessed it) extreme pain.
Demons can be cured through the Demon Purification Ritual.
Demons can be killed by angel blades.
Demons will flinch and have their eyes turn black when the name of the Lord is spoken.
Kumakatok:*
Children of Azrael, the Angel of Death.
Removal of a kumakatok's cloak will stun it, and if prolonged, kill it.
True death of a kumakatok requires burning of the cloak and will rip a permanent hole in the fabric of reality.
Unless the cloak has been burned, the kumakatok will be reincarnated in another form. If the cloak has been burned, Azrael must create a new kumakatok.
Kumakatok knock on the door of a person fated to die one day before.
Vulnerable to iron and salt.
There must always be three - two old men and one young girl.
Pagan Deities:*
Immortal.
Weaknesses depend on the specific deity, as each of them can be killed by various rituals.
The ability to use magic, as well as increased stamina and strength and invulnerability, are considered standard.
Reapers:*
They have the same capabilities and weaknesses as angel.
Reapers can restore life to an individual and similarly, take life.
Through magical means, they can become bound and enslaved.
They can kill with a single touch.
They are capable of chronokinesis.
Witches:
Near immortal--extremely long lifespan.
Witches can be taken down with iron.
They require hex bags or DNA to complete their long, complicated rituals.
There are three types of witches
Borrowers: They have sold their souls to the devil in exchange for powers.
Naturals: They are born with the ability to create and use magic.
Students: Through years of hard practice and training, they are able to manipulate magic and cast spells.
Natural witches are capable of feats known as the Seven Wonders.
Telekinesis - this is the most common and easily accomplished one.
Concilium - also known as coercion or mind control.
Pyrokinesis
Divination
Transmutation - also known as teleportation and not to be confused with transfiguration.
Vitalum Vitalis - the giving or draining of life
Descensum - the ability to project one's spirit into hell
Natural witches also have the potential for an innate and special power unique to them since birth.

Follow All Forum Rules
Communication is Key
The world is controlled by the GM - All NPC's, weather, what you see, what you find, what happens, everything. So if it isn't in my post, it didn't happens
If you wish your character to have "connections" please run it by the GM first to ensure it is acceptable and isn't already being done by another.
Randomization and LLA are used in this RP - Please refer to Lady Amalthea's tutorial for a description if you are new to this concept
Posting Habits
Minimal of 2 well developed paragraphs per post
Must IC post once every 7 days (It is your job to keep up with when you need to post. Your last post hits Day 8 and I remove you from the RP.)
I do not accept no inspiration as a reason not to post
Keep up with all IC and OOC posts
No word in IC or OOC after 7 days is grounds for removal from the RP.
If you need additional time to post you must notify the Gm by day 5 of your counter. Extensions will not be granted after that.
No spamming OOC
Under Extras in the CS mention your favorite horror-esque story so I know you at least skimmed this...
Minimal 2 posts between your last
There is no additional time granted due to forum glitches unless the forum is fully down. A week to post is plenty of time even if the forum glitches a day or two
Collabs may not be started after your day 5 counter
If you are collabing and your partner vanishes or does not reply, you must finish the collab and post it before the timer runs out
If your collab partner vanishes you are granted temporary minimal bunnying privileges to complete the collab
If your collab partner vanishes, you need to make the Gm aware so it does not count against you
Know your personal posting limitations before applying to join
If you cannot post, you must contact the GM and make me aware, you will be granted extra time to post (do not take advantage of this) - I realize real life comes first but you know your schedule better than anyone, if you join it is your responsibility to keep up and not hold up the rest of the Rpers. I will work with you, just let me know what's going on
Spots are not first come first serve
Gm will review completed CS first
Gm will review previous Rp's and posting habits
Gm will then notify you if you are approved
Character deaths will happen, no one is safe - it will be randomized and you will be notified when your death approaches. (This does not mean you are out of the RP, it will mean however you need to make a new character should you wish to continue - I recommend having Back Up Characters Ready)
I am looking for long term highly dedicated Rpers. This RP is a sequel to Abandoned Hope, which finished after eight months.
Once Cs's are approved, relation sheet will go up and must be completed and added to CS
Rules and Cs sheet will be added to and changed as need be depending on problems or points that come up.
Under Extras in your CS please post a link to a post you have done in the past to show you have read the rules. If You submit a CS without this it may be declined.
Special - To New Comers To The Guild - Pm The Gm for a tid bit to add under extras instead
Character Sheet
Below is the character sheet required for the RP. Those of you from Abandoned Hope will notice that I've been generous when it comes to the amount of skills you can have. Please do not take advantage of this, and keep things realistic. The increased number of skills is designed to accommodate for knowledge gained since the Altsoba massacre, in order to prepare you for dealing with necromantics. Any deviances you have will also take up a skill slot, so please keep that in mind.
If you participated in Abandoned Hope, you'll be granted a reward for your character sheet upon joining. This might be a connection to an NPC, a clue, an extra skill, etc... I'll be rolling a dice to determine what happens there. Characters who were used in Abandoned Hope will need to keep all skills they had there, but there should be plenty of room for you to expand their skills as well ^_~
Keep this realistic, folks! Necromantics can be played only by those already playing a human character in the RP, with the exception of characters used in Abandoned Hope. For example, you wanna play a vampire? Cool. That can be your second character.

Quick Note
This RP is inspired by Rocky Horror Picture Show, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, American Horror Story, Supernatural, and Good Omens. However, any lore mentioned in the RP is the lore that exists. If you're interested as to how something might fit in, great. Send me a PM. But do not decide for yourself that it has to exist and add it in.
Also, this disclaimer was on Abandoned Hope. While the apocalypse is the Judeo-Christian one, I myself am an atheist. So, please be aware that things will likely not be biblically correct.

June 20th, 2016. A day that was thought to live in infamy as the end of the world. Spirits rose from their graves, plagues spread across the land, and natural disasters brought the strongest to their knees. But that is not the memory that lives on, no. Those who sacrificed themselves for the survival of humanity are forgotten by most all, deemed a part of the tragedy of the Altsoba massacre. The small town, the epicenter of the apocalypse, is remembered as nothing more than a troubling combination of religious paranoia and hallucinogens.
If only that was the case.
The Altsoba massacre was covered up by O.M.E.N., the Organization for the Methodical Eradication of Necromantics. Necromantics. Just another word for the undead that walk among us, for the witches who cast spell over our lives, and the creatures that rob us of humanity. O.M.E.N. has been running covert missions to exterminate the remaining necromantics, and they show no mercy. The innocent and the guilty are killed all the same. There are no grey areas.
Two months ago, on Halloween--the universe loves ironies--the leaders of O.M.E.N. vanished without a trace. A well thumbed book is all that remained, covered in what forensic experts later determined to be the blood of the two missing men. The book was Coventry by Frederick Taylor, detailing that disturbing fable. The legend ran that England knew that the Nazis would plan Coventry, and rather than tip their hand, they allowed it to happen.
But that's just a story. And our story begins in a different Coventry--one located just twenty miles out from Salem, the site where so many young witches bled. A town with constantly evolving bloodshed, it is marked by betrayal, just as Altsoba before it was marked by death. Sal Aldrich, the owner of Coventry Horrors, a themed hotel, has been found dead. Hanged, even. The police recovered a note, their only indication that it wasn't a suicide. They were coordinates. And when the police went to the location, they found the bodies of O.M.E.N.'s leaders.
Sal wasn't the only death. More followed, each with a more disturbing note than the last. Sal's daughter, Andromeda, took over management of the hotel during the investigation. Experts on necromantics have been looking into Coventry with apprehension, only increasing when Fiodora, a performer with a traveling circus, was found dead. But there were not coordinates with her body. There was a note, penned in the same bloodied ink.
Rejoice, for I have returned -M
It's December 28th, my dears. The unluckiest day of the year, marked by history's most famous betrayal. Come with me to a land filled with deception and crime, where history meets the present in more ways than you can expect...Come with me to a world filled with blood. A world filled with lies. There's only one way out, my dears, and that's death.
Welcome to Coventry.

Housing
The housing will be assigned by the Gm after your CS is submitted and approved. It will be partially random - Depending on the character history each character will be assigned chances at a particular floor of the hotel and then the dice will decide. The GM will inform you if your CS is approved what your housing situation is. The only exception will be performers in the Circus -- they'll be instructed to just put "Circus Grounds" down for their housing assignment.
First Floor
Families tend to rent rooms on this floor. The room is playful in nature, with two queen beds. There's a small ensuite, but it's nothing special. Kids love it though, and its cheap price makes it affordable for the modern family!
113 - Aloise Zamora and Liam Matthews
103 -
108 - Alexander Aster
Second Floor
Couples tend to rent this floor. It gives you the fun of being in a themed hotel, with a nice and comfy bed as well. The ensuite isn't half bad, either, and there's a small little couch in the corner with a television set.

213 - Olivia Johnson
Third Floor
Thrill seekers tend to rent on this floor. It might not look much, but it's almost the most expensive offering at Coventry Horrors. The room is deceptively plain, but at night, it comes alive. Some of the more optimistic claim it's haunted by two young children, killed in their sleep. Others think that it's all just a gimmick. But hey, whatever works, right?
303 -
308 - Seraphina and Emmie Adams
305 - Eudora Erebus
313 -
Fourth Floor
The most expensive rooms of the hotel. Each resident gets a suite, complete with a queen sized bed (as pictured above), ensuite with master bath, and small sitting room. Those on the fourth floor are also offered complimentary tours of the city by the owner's daughter, who runs the curiosity museum in town.

In chapter one, the identity of the mysterious M was revealed: the demon Mephistopheles. One of Lucifer's best followers, he pushed Daniyal Lohi, back in Altsoba, to break the first seal on Lucifer's cage. And with the devil dead and forgotten, it appears that he's out for revenge. But why here? Why in Coventry? And what's the curse placed on this town?

But why here? Why in Coventry? And what's the curse placed on this town? Those answers still remain a mystery, with each piece of information inviting more and more questions.
In chapter two, death continued to come. The novelty of the wardrobe, transporting individuals through time and space, soon wore off. Seraphina, Detective Hanson, and Liam were all murdered by someone they trusted. They were all betrayed, gunned down by O.M.E.N., an organization that claims to fight the forces of evil in order to do some good. The others were lead to a trap at the circus, narrowly killing Mephistopheles to save their own lives, after thoroughly and utterly breaking time.
But even with Mephistopheles dead, all is not well in Coventry. The demon was not working alone. He lured everyone to the circus for a reason - he chose his victims for a reason. Those reasons may just cost you your life, the likelihood increasing the longer you are ignorant of them.
It's December 28th, my dears. The unluckiest day of the year, marked by history's most famous betrayal.

Welcome to Coventry.

Character Sheet
Below is the character sheet required for the RP. Those of you from Abandoned Hope will notice that I've been generous when it comes to the amount of skills you can have. Please do not take advantage of this, and keep things realistic. The increased number of skills is designed to accommodate for knowledge gained since the Altsoba massacre, in order to prepare you for dealing with necromantics. Any deviances you have will also take up a skill slot, so please keep that in mind.
If you participated in Abandoned Hope, you'll be granted a reward for your character sheet upon joining. This might be a connection to an NPC, a clue, an extra skill, etc... I'll be rolling a dice to determine what happens there. Characters who were used in Abandoned Hope will need to keep all skills they had there, but there should be plenty of room for you to expand their skills as well ^_~
Keep this realistic, folks! Necromantics can be played only by those already playing a human character in the RP, with the exception of characters used in Abandoned Hope. For example, you wanna play a vampire? Cool. That can be your second character.
