Creatures of the Night: Reboot because it looked kinda cool

So, um...

The original version of this RP was, essentially, an RP about vampires and werewolves and all those stereotypical creatures of the night(and some new ones).

This is going to be pretty much the same, really.

It takes place in a modern setting. Recently, activity of various "creatures of the night" has increased a great deal, and they have been on the move a lot more. Some of the more dangerous ones have been taking more victims. Care must be taken by both the more dangerous ones and the less dangerous ones, as neither wants to be caught. There are a few bars dotting the country which are open exceptionally late, and prove to be ideal meeting places for these individuals. Some of them are even aware of their... odd... customers.

The RP begins in one such place.

Kind of a bad summary, but hopefully it gets the point across, eh-heh. Anyway...

Name: Rosalie Kreuz

Age: 250, appearance-wise, 10.

Gender: Female

Species: Vampire

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Personality: Refined, elegant, and a perfectly polite noblewoman. That is the image that Rosalie projects and cultivates. She wants to be this way, and she is to some extent. However... in addition to her appearance being frozen at that of a child, Rosalie's emotional and mental state are that of a child as well. A very intelligent child who has spent much of her life learning, but a child nonetheless. This leads to moments of immaturity and childishness, much to her dismay. Rosalie is fond of company and often invites others over for small parties or for tea. And not mentioning that her own cup of tea has blood in it, of course.

Abilities: Rosalie is a surprisingly accomplished artist. She is also inhumanly fast and strong, on account of being a vampire. That said, she loses all vampiric attributes in direct sunlight, and becomes weak and listless and rather sleepy. Which is why she carries a parasol at all times during the day. She is also capable of regenerating from even lethal injury, though it is very slow in sunlight and that leads to her appearing to be dead. Has to drink blood to live, too, obviously.

Weapons: A length of razorwire, kept in a silver box. It's capable of cutting through most mundane materials.

Brief History: Rosalie's life... she doesn't remember pre-vampirism, or even if she was always like this before becoming a vampire. Her entire life has been spent learning and staying mostly under the radar as far as her vampirism goes. At some point, she obtained a maid, named Maylene.


Name: Maylene Fairweather

Age: 16. Possibly. She certainly looks it.

Gender: Female

Species: Human?

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Personality: Quiet and serious-minded, Maylene is focused on her job and on caring for and protecting Rosalie. She is placid and focused, and friendly towards visitors that Rosalie has invited. Uninvited visitors, on the other had, get a far sterner greeting and are quickly removed from the premises unless Rosalie says otherwise. She is unshakably loyal to Rosalie, and would never, ever betray her. Not ever. She does not hesitate to kill, if the need be... surprisingly, she is very easily flustered or embarrassed.

Abilities: Cooking, cleaning, the exact methods in which to quickly kill someone with any number of items, including mundane things like a butter knife, combat skills, stealth skills... oh, wait, those last few aren't something a maid should have...

Weapons: Knives. Lots of knives. Though she can fight with a lot of improvised weapons, as well. Including a spoon.

Brief History: Maylene may have, at one point, been an Assassin. She may also not be human, it's hard to tell. She definitely posed as a nun at one point, and she killed someone at least once. How she came to be Rosalie's maid is anyone's guess.

Name: Lord Ruthven

Gender: male

Race: vampire

Apparent age: 30

Real Age: Old enough that he remembers the Trojan war.

Appearance: black hair and eyes; large, stout. Always wears a monocle. Clan/Pack/Other: Clan Ruthven

Abilities: In addition to having shapeshifting abilities that are remarkable even for a vampire, he has the ability to temporarily become human. During this time, he'll lose his vampire powers, but gain the ability to walk in sunlight. He can only do this for 24 hours, and only after he's sucked an actual human dry.

Weapons: Rather fond of knives.

Backstory: He was once a disturbed, but otherwise brave warrior. Then he was bitten by a vampire. Some time later, said vampire was killed by a knight, leaving the clan leaderless. Then he lead a bloody battle against the other dukes for leadership of the clan, killing a large amount of them in the war. How many, you ask? Enough that the very small minority within the clan that are old enough to remember the war live in constant fear of him starting another one.

Name: Gregorich Kalakov

Age: Six Hundred Thirty-Something

Gender: Male

Species: Werewolf

Appearance: In human form, brown hair with a brown goatee and brown eyes, usually wearing khakis and an open blazer with a very hairy chest.

Spoiler:

Personality: Surprisingly nice for a werewolf of his appearance, and enjoys getting his belly scratched. He likes meeting new people, things that smell good, and fighting. When fighting, he tries not to kill people (unless he's really angry) and enjoys an opponent that can measure up to him.

Abilities: Greatly enhanced strength and speed, and has a sense of smell on par with a bloodhound. Can switch between wolf and human forms at will, but this is difficult at a new moon, and he is trapped in wolf form during a full-moon, though this also makes him stronger. Switching to wolf form also shreds his clothes, so he usually strips before changing.

Weapons: Claws and Teeth

Brief History: Originally from Russia, Greg was bitten by a werewolf at age 22. He left shortly after becoming a werewolf due to several attacks by the angry mob that killed the werewolf that bit him. It took him a while to get control of his transformation (several hundred years, in fact), but now he usually stays human, except for full moons obviously.




Name: Mary Thinice

Age: 32, though you wouldn't think it.

Gender: Female

Species: Zombie

Appearance: "What are you looking at?"

Personality: A very spunky girl, Mary is always willing to kick someone in the shin. She dislikes being called small, and throws the occasional tantrum, but is otherwise mature for her apparent age. She isn't flustered by talk of sex at all, can hold her liquor (primarily because she is undead) and occasionally even has a cigarette. Her childish side only rarely comes out, primarily because few people are willing to insult her thanks to her sword.

Abilities: Mary, despite being a zombie, is fast. She's only as strong as a regular adult human, but fast enough to blur in ordinary people's vision. She also has eyes on her left arm, which are inexplicably both functional and better than most people's eyes, being able to see farther than most (and, as they're on both sides of her arm, she has near-360 degree vision).

Weapons: A sword with rotating serrated blades AKA a Chainsaw-Sword.

Brief History: Car accident at the age of 8. Brought back to life by some witch, only to be told she wasn't as good as expected and tossed out into the world. She somehow survived for 24 years, and is still wandering around at nights, looking to befriend people that aren't terrified of her or utterly repulsive.

Name: Elaine Thompson

Gender: female

Race: vampire

Apparent age: 25

Real Age: has been around since Medieval times.

Appearance: short black hair, blue eyes.

Personality: Is dedicated entirely to her job as a detective; and often stays up late at night. Her friends are few and far between; and she hasn't really had a lovelife since the 1700s. Once she takes a case; she won't give up until she finds the truth. Even if her client fires her, she'll keep investigating until she's satisfied.
Powers: The ability to shapeshift.

Weapons: A handgun. While not enough to kill another vampire unless one were to shoot them in the head at close-range; getting shot is still painful, even for a vamp.


Backstory: Has no memories of her life before Lord Ruthven found her starving in the woods; and decided to turn her into a vampire. Though at first she was unhappy with her situation; she quickly adjusted to her new vampire lifestyle; and tried to make the best of it. After a few centuries; she proved herself to be skilled at finding things and gaining information. Lord Ruthven put her to work gathering information on the Ruthven Clan's enemies.

For quite a few centuries, she performed admirably; and was one of the top information gatherers in the field. However; one day she made an incredibly stupid mistake that ended up leading a group of vampire hunters to Lord Ruthven's hideout. Lord Ruthven decided that she had outlived her usefulness, and exiled her from the clan. Since then she's moved to America; and has been struggling to survive on her own ever since. However, she's recently gone into business as a private investigator; and has gained some semblance of a normal life.

(Unfinished)

NOT HERE.

Name: Klara Timil
Gender: Female
Race: Human (Shaman)
Apparent age: 14 (Much to her chagrin)
Real Age: 17 (She is short for her age and flat chested, a fact she has found much displeasure in)
Appearance:

Spoiler:

Powers: Look at Clan info for powers
Personality: Klara is a sweet girl, who tries her best to be helpful. She doesn't like fighting or confrontation which is why she worked to get those treaties passed. She believes there is good in all creatures no matter what her family says and stubbornly stands by her conviction.
Backstory: Klara Timil, a human descended from a long line of Shamans, was once a normal high school girl, making friends, getting playfully teased about her height, etc. Then after her grandfather died, she was made the next Shaman leader of the phantoms. This had come unexpected to her, figuring her father would take over after her. However, her father had no talent for it unlike herself, making her the better choice for the head of the clan. Once becoming head, despite being young and inexperienced, she worked to settle treaties of peace between the phantoms and other supernatural species. This came with great resistance from her family and some of her phantoms. She, however, persevered and thanks to the support of some of other more loyal phantoms, such as Maria, she was able to get the treaties made and passed.

---------

Name: Maria Wilde
Gender: Female
Race: Phantom
Apparent age: 18
Real Age: over 200 years
Appearance:

Spoiler:

Powers: While having the abilities of her clan, she also has normal abilities of a phantom like phasing. She has also mastered her own form of magical puppetry using strings that come out of her finger tips made of ghostly energy that can control the weak minded or inanimate objects capable of movement. Her most common target for this magic is a wolf that remains by her side at all times.
Personality: A serious, no-nonsense woman who has a tendency to be a tad overprotective of her shaman. She's a good person at heart, even if she took a pragmatic view on her afterlife. Despite being ordered to kill vampires and werewolves in the past, she refused to harm those who had the appearance of a child. In fact, she usually froze up when confronted with a child in combat, and her own shaky memory won't allow her to know the reason why.
Backstory: After so many years of being a Phantom, her memories of the past grew to be very vague. She remembers small things about the west and the Native American tribe she was once part of. She even remembered life before the tribe when she was the daughter of young settlers who had the misfortune of being attacked. But, that was all she remembered. The rest was all blurs. The Phantom wandered the states with no place to go, and no way to pass on. It wasn't until she came across Dakini clan that she finally found her place in this world.

--------

Dakini Clan
Race: Phantom with one Shaman
Size of Clan/Pack/Other: One Shaman (leader), three Elite Pantoms, and five other phantoms.
Special abilities:

• Shaman: A temporary fusion ability which can be used to borrow the strength and some abilities of the phantoms in the clan. As well as spiritual powers to seal or exorcise evil spirits. Can instantly tell the physical status of the phantoms in the clan no matter how far away they are.
  
• Phantoms: A weaker form of exorcism than the Shaman's, higher instincts and reflexes than that of humans, through the Shaman they have a link to all others in the clan and can sense when one or the other is in danger. Though unable to die, they can get forcefully dispersed causing them to actually take time to reform again.
  

Special Traits or appearances: All phantoms of the group have pure white hair.
