Bio
I am a 25-year-old graphic designer for a handful of small town newspapers and I desperately need a different job 🙃.
Hobbies: Twitch streaming, video games, creative writing, digital art, music production, singing, social media, existential crises
Current obsessions: Minecraft, Helluva Boss, Hazbin Hotel, writing my comic, demonolatry
Myers-Briggs Type: INFP
One fun fact about me is that I am a spiritual Luciferian/Satanist! I am really into demonolatry and witchcraft as a spiritual practice used to improve my mental health and overall character. I do not summon demons for the sake of being edgy. I just find them really neat :)
My favorite role plays involve fantasy and dark themes. I especially have a fascination with vampires, so I would LOVE to join basically any vampire role play. If you ever want to chat with me, just send me a message.

McConaughan gave a nod of thanks toward the bar tender. "Don't worry about me, miss. I'd be more concerned for your glassware."
Then the younger Japanese man spoke to him. “Do you need medical assistance or something?”
McConaughan was surprised at being approached, but let out a raspy laugh and shook his head. “No, laddie,” he said. “I’ve had my fair share of injuries. This one isn’t going to do me in.” He gave his most convincing smirk as he squeezed his right hand into a fist, internally wincing at the feeling of broken flesh scraping behind the bandage.
He eyed the two men as they spoke Japanese to one another. McConaughan hadn’t bothered to learn any languages aside from his native language of English and whatever Gaelic he was taught in primary school, so he was wary of what they might be saying. He was looking for any signs that one or both of them might be a blood sucker, but couldn't find anything that stood out particularly, especially with his bleary eyesight. But the conversation between the two men ended quickly and the younger man turned back to face him again.
“Do you mind if I check out the wound?” he asked.
McConaughan looked down at his bandaged hand and furrowed his brow. The bandage was completely soaked with blood now. His voice held a tinge of annoyance. “Do I look like I need to be coddled?” He paused for a moment, pursing his lips. His mouth felt so dry. Then he let out a small sigh that stunk of alcohol. “But...if it’ll make you stop gawking, then have at it.”

McConaughan grunted while he held the end of a yellowing bandage between his teeth and worked on wrapping the other end as tightly as he could against his wounds. Every time he rounded his hand to add another layer of cloth, it squeezed his palm tighter, causing pain, but ultimately halting the bleeding. By the time he was done, his right hand looked like it was wearing a beige oven mitt that was rapidly turning red. With his only good hand left, McConaughan turned on the faucet and splashed some cool water on his face to get rid of the sweat that had built up. He looked up at his own sordid expression in the dirty bathroom mirror and tried hard to focus on his own eyes. For some reason, he couldn’t even find them. All he could see were the eyes of his father.
He stumbled forward out of the bathroom, swinging the wooden door open and stopped in his tracks when it slammed shut behind him. There were two men that looked of Asian descent staring at him across the way.
“Oi, what’re you all lookin’ at?” His normal Northern Irish lilt was tainted by the drunken numbness of his mouth. “Never seen a fuckin’ drunk before, eh?” he mumbled, taking his original seat again. The counter was clean from the mess he’d made. McConaughan looked up at the bartender, a beautiful young woman with dark hair, and said, “Thank you, miss. You didn’t have to clean up my mess for me. Get those two guys over there some whiskey on me.” He motioned to the man with the pompadour and his younger companion.

BACK. I'm much better now, everyone! I even posted my first, er, post! In character, that is. I'm only bringing in one charrie for now.

"Another..." the man sitting alone at the bar muttered as he slammed his glass down. The ice rattled against the glass. He was hunched forward in the stool, elbows on the table and head threatening to come crashing down on the water-stained hardwood counter any moment, but his bloodshot eyes managed to stay open enough to listlessly watch the bartender pour him another whiskey. McConaughan’s world was spinning, but he was far past the jovial feeling that comes from a light buzz; that had gone hours ago before he’d thrown up in the bathroom twice. No, he was well into the mental and emotional heaviness that comes from a near blackout.
His tattered brown leather trench coat weighed heavily on his broad shoulders as he reached a hand up to sweep the longer part of his undercut away from his sweaty forehead. He slicked it back and revealed his prominent widow’s peak, a trait inherited from his father. Much like his lifestyle. There was no choice in it, but there was certainly pride present, whether earned or not.
The bar was nearly empty at this point save for McConaughan, the bartender, and only a handful of other vagrants. At least, he liked to think of them as vagrants so he wasn’t the only one. Perhaps he entertained the idea to dull the disappointment in himself that alcohol just couldn’t seem to touch. He could barely take down a single mark nowadays with the bloodsuckers out in the open. Before they’d come out of the coffin, he could hunt one and kill it in the same night. Now, it was more complicated. He had to follow them around for a while to learn their schedule, who would miss them, how to kill them inconspicuously, and how to evade the authorities. It was ironic that now vampires were so easily identifiable, they were harder than ever to hunt. The idea of giving rights to these demons, accepting them into society...it made him enraged to the core. So much so that a sudden sharp pain in his hand snapped him back to the present. He looked down to see he’d been gripping the glass so tightly, it had shattered, slicing into the thick skin of his meaty hand. He grunted out in pain as the whiskey soaked into the cuts and mingled with his blood on the counter.
“Shit,” he slurred, using his left hand to brush away those loose shards that hadn’t managed to embed themselves deep within his skin. The barstool screeched across the floorboards as he stood, almost fell backwards, and made his way unsteadily to the restroom and leaving a trail of blood on the floor behind him, much to the shock of the few people still here. As he was working to rid his right hand of any more glass, he wasn’t even thinking about the pain. He wasn’t even thinking about his ashamed drunkenness. No, he could only think of how now he wouldn’t be able to use his favorite handheld crossbow with his dominant hand injured. There wasn’t much more he could have done at the moment to sink his self esteem any lower, save for letting a leech suck his blood, he supposed.
EVERYONE I AM SO SORRY.
I was hospitalized on Monday and didn't have access to any phone or computer until today. I'm okay now and I hope some people are still here and haven't gotten upset that we're not started yet :(

OKAY EVERYONE:
I'm really wanting to get this thing off the ground...BUT I'm freaking horrible at starting things and only really made this myself since no one else was doing it. So with that being said, is anybody up to the task of starting us off? I know, I know, I'm a terrible GM. I still haven't added everything to my characters, but I have the basics down and it's enough for me to work off of...

@Cio Yay! Thumb of approval!
@Eviledd1984 I didn't really make any for werewolves, unfortunately, so I'm not really sure! For the moment, I think you're okay.
@Kinjaav That makes sense. I really am trying to get this thing off the ground, I'm just so busy with work, streaming, and making time for my significant other that it's hard to sit down and write through everything lol. Much easier when you're only having to react to other characters instead of building a world

(Hope I didn't miss anyone!)
Okay, I've been adding to the OP and now have some concrete factions up for Humans, Vampires, and Werewolves; more details about Redhaven; and some abilities/weaknesses of vampires. I do want people to update their character sheets to reflect the specialized abilities/weaknesses (and you may make up your own, just make sure you have the number required as it adds ~flavor~). If you have suggestions for ones to add to the list or need clarification, I can address that!
Also, I'm still working on factions and may just do away with the fancy names altogether in favor of short couple-word descriptors of what they're about as I feel I don't have enough diversity in there yet for people to align themselves to one.
