[OoC] Fanged Brethren ~Under Construction~ [Closed]

[ninjamaos]

*Claps hands* All right, ladies and gents, we have come to a decision. Well, several, actually.

The first is that THIS ROLEPLAY IS NOW *CLOSED* TO NEW PLAYERS. That means, if you haven't already posted to let us know you're interested, we can't accept you as a player, no matter how fabulous you are. This is subject to change in the future; but for now we are closed.

Next, on the subject of players who are accepted: Malverne, Keylaleigh, we are pleased to announce that you are now members of the Fanged Brethren! Get your ideas, profiles, and general awesomness ready!

Sly, dear, the good news is WE HAVEN'T REJECTED YOU! The bad news is, we can't decide precisely *what* we ought to do with you right at this moment. If you don't mind waiting just a bit, we'll get back to you with a decision. There are currently a lot of things about this RP that haven't been thought through completely, including the end number of players we want. So sit tight, okay?

Gentlemen and ladies, that will be all for this evening, so if you wouldn't mind retiring to your hovels for the night, we'll have the maids clear up this mess you've left in the Great Room. Excellent job, by the way. Clearly your palates are very refined, and your sorting skills are above average. I bid you good night.

[Malverne]

Thanks for the free meal. They were tasty.

[Keylaleigh]

Thank you very much, dearies!

I'll get started on thinking of a good character.

And is there a special profile format you have, or do we just kind of wing it?

[ninjamaos]

You're very welcome :3

Good question, though... allow me a few minutes to post a skeleton for you. Feel free to start filling it out as soon as you like, but just know that it's subject to change, because I'm very new at this RP-creation thing.

[ninjamaos]

My loves, the skelly is up, as well as some basic vocabulary terms that should clarify some things, but my internet is being bitchy right now so I'll post more about the setting and some details on how vampirism works, etc... tomorrow (hopefully). Suffice to say, it's present day, and things are (mostly) pretty normal. Vamps, were-animals, and maybe some other weird creatures exist, but it doesn't bother the general human population. Vamps have certain special powers, but they also have weaknesses. In terms of feeding, it feels good when a human gets sucked (oh, that sounds so dirty...), which is why Bangers exist.

[Keylaleigh]

Nice skeleton, but I think you should add an Age category, as you make a pretty big deal out of how old the characters have to be.

PLUS: Put up a list of allowed powers for Vampires. A good place to get power ideas is the OOC of a vampire roleplay that kinda failed, "The Dead Keep Dancing". They based theirs off of Vampire: The Masquerade, but it's a great place to start. Here it is.

[ninjamaos]

Heh, thanks for pointing that out
On the note of powers, I've got some ideas that I'll try and post soon, after I take a look at that OoC you suggested. Thanks!

[Keylaleigh]

Well, I have a pretty good idea for my character, and would like to post the profile for critique:
Mind you, it is still in progress.

Username: Keylaleigh
Character Name: Andreas Erhard
Age: 119 (Looks 25)
Race: Vampire
Faction: Fanged Brethren
Appearance: Andreas was never the most handsome of vampires, with dirty blond hair that he keeps in a crew cut and hazel eyes. He has an impressive build, being 6’7” and displaying a rather muscular physique from constant physical maintenance. He has a very square jaw and broad shoulders. When he speaks, his voice is unusually soft with a strange combination of a British and German accent. He prefers not to get fancy when it comes to clothing, and his wardrobe consists entirely of plain t-shirts and blue jeans. On colder days, he has a bomber jacket with his old Iron Cross pinned onto it.
Personality: Andreas is a gentle soul that still holds the belief that a human life is a beautiful thing. He has a hard time tolerating those that think differently from him on this matter, considering them “cruel”. He is structured and strict, upholding any rules placed before him as he follows them himself. If you are his friend, you have a loyal and trustworthy partner until the end, but if you find yourself as an enemy of his, expect to be beaten down. Never killed. Just severely harmed. Around women, he is extremely chivalrous and respectful. He rarely sleeps, being plagued by insomnia.
He also has a soft spot for small animals, and keeps three rats (named Heidi, Anna, and Elise after his human younger sisters) as pets.
Specialty: *will wait until abilities are posted*
Biography: When he was human, Andreas was born in Germany and was the eldest of four siblings. To make his struggling family some money, he enlisted as a soldier in the Great War (also known as World War 1). In his unit, he became known as “Der Riese” or “The Giant” because of his height and savagery towards his enemies. While he was fighting in the battle of Tannenberg, though, he was gunned down by an enemy soldier and left on the field. As he lay there, feeling his life slowly slip away from him, he heard a voice by his ear.
”Would you like to continue living?”
He nodded yes, and that was where his life as a Vampire started. His sire took him to London where Andreas was taught about the vampire lifestyle. He had a difficult time killing his victims, feeling that he had taken too many lives in the war already. Because of this, he taught himself to drink in moderation. After twenty years, his sire was taken down by a Hunter and Andreas fled to America, looking for a place to call his own. He quickly found the Brethren, and has been living with them ever since.
Least Favorite Food: Eggs
Biggest Pet Peeve: Those with a blatant disregard of rules, Vampires who treat humans as "lower beings"
Personality Quirk(s): He is a huge soccer fan, and enjoys following the German Bundesliga, especially Bayern-Munich.

[Malverne]

Hmm...what do you think?

Username: Malverne
Character Name: Dameon Chipperfield
]Race: Vampire
Age: 131
Faction: Fanged Brethren
Appearance: Dameon is short, 5’5” when he’s stretching, and thin as a rail, but with a thin layer of hard muscle. He’s seriously skin, muscle and bones. He’s pale (duh, vampire) with short, spiky black hair, streaked with purple, green, and red, and amber eyes, and a wide and warm smile. Generally wears a t-shirt and shorts, with skateboard shoes, although he will wear a hoodie in cold weather. He has a purple bandanna tied around his neck, adorned with a few beads, and three earrings in the cartilage of his left ear.
Personality: Dameon is easily bored, so he’s constantly looking for something to occupy him. When he’s really bored, he gets snappy at anything that requires him to think, but when he’s not so bored, he’s quite pleasant. Actually, when he isn’t bored, he’s quite bouncy and bubbly. When it comes to food, Dameon is willing to kill to eat, but he doesn’t go out of his way to kill humans. He finds melodramatic people annoying, because he’s very laid back, and not worrying about consequences or anything.
Specialty: *Gonna leave it blank until you put up the official abilities*
[b[Biography:[/b] Dameon was born in Scotland in 1880, to the Chipperfield family, who owned, operated, and performed one of the longest lasting circus’ in Britain. Dameon grew up around circus folk, and he became an acrobat and magician in the Chipperfield circus. When Dameon was fourteen, some sadistic vampire turned him to piss of the other Chipperfields, then disappeared, leaving Dameon to discover a new world on his own. Dameon was a rogue vampire for a while, not even knowing about the Brethren. He went through the world finding new things to do, and seems to have exhausted his source of time-wasting activities. Now, he has mastered a number of accents and dialects, computer hacking, and safe-breaking, plus a bunch of other amusing yet useless skills. He joined the Brethren last year because he wanted to hang out with some people for a long amount of time for a change, just because he’d been moving around for over 100 years. He’s had a few run ins with Hunters, but he’s managed to escape with his life…obviously.
Least Favorite Food: Either peanut butter or celery.
Biggest Pet Peeve: that his voice cracks. And that there’s no way he’s going to get through puberty.
Personality Quirk(s): Dameon’s easily bored and insatiably curious, so he's constantly looking for something new to do, so if you propose something exciting but extremely stupid, he’ll do it despite the probability of catastrophic failure.

*Does as instructed and sits tight.*

But I want to plaaaaaayyyyy!! ;3;

Nah, it's all good...I still love you all even if you don't want/need me for this particular RP.

[Malverne]

Oh Sly, we love you too!

Oh, question...are the humans, the civvies, aware of the vampires' existence? Are the Hunters and Fang-Bangers the only humans who know that vamps exist? Or have we not decided this yet?

[ninjamaos]

Some humans suspect something's up, but most are blissfully ignorant.

Also, wow, guys, great profiles! You make me feel like such a bad GM, not even having my characters up yet (much less rules on powers and whatnot). I'll get right on that

[Sly]

*Sigh.* I wish Jam would let me play.

I still love you, I'm just...disappointed. xD;

[Keylaleigh]

Thanks, Jam! Usually I start straight off as a vampire hunter in these things, but I felt like going a different route and hopefully throwing her in later.

[Malverne]

Well, we've been thinking of our characters for a while, then squishing them around the rules. You had to MAKE the rules. Think of it as....we had a head start.
