The year was 1812 when the crimson massacre took the small city of Comstock by storm, its rivers running the color of death. The history books would mourn the loss of such a story or eyewitness account, as there were none left to recount the event. Some say that it was the meeting place, the common grounds on which the demon’s accord was founded, routed in a last ditch effort to survive the extinction of their races. Others will tell you that the murders were committed a band of criminals who escaped from a nearby holding house for those that might be executed for vile and hanus crimes. But the memories of that day were just echoes of a nightmare that has yet to be bested in the history of London’s devastating past.
The killings have begun again, human’s ravaged and torn, half eaten in their beds with their children strewn amongst the halls as if running from the monster tucked under their beds. The Council of Elders have gathered to meet and called upon the hunters to come out of hiding and began the search for the creatures of lore that were derived from the stories of the Comstock massacre. Will you fight with us? Or will you allow the beast the lives deep within you to come alive and paint the color of our story with death & violence?
The invitation is set. Won’t you come?
Okay guys, before you jump right in to making a CS, I'm going to explain the different races in depth. Read over this information and then decide if you want to change your race or not .
=================================
Werewolves.
We're going old school werewolves - Can't control when they change forms (every night when they step in to the moonlight, for Roleplays sake. If it was every full moon then you guys would only be in wolf form for about 5 nights a month, which isn't really fun). They lose all human instincts when in their changed form - attacking any living thing (apart from other werewolves and vampires) and savaging it. The next day they wake up with no memory of the previous night, cuts and bruises all over their skin, severely tired out. When in wolf form, you grow fur and your looks turn more in to that of a dog. You can stand on your hind legs but can also run on all fours at great speeds. They howl loudly, saliva dripping from their mouth which holds their razor sharp fangs. Their entire body turns grey with matted grey/black/brown whatever colour hair (You can describe him in your appearance), their human shaped hands growing razor sharp claws. Sounds good? Well you better keep on fucking running - If you touch any silver at all, your skin is going to burn. If it gets in your blood stream, you have very little time before you die. Werewolves are outcasts from society - any normal humans finds out you're a werewolf and you'll have a mob of humans chasing you out of town in minutes.
Vampires.
The same goes if you wanna be a vampire - You aren't just some human with fangs. You look like a beautiful human - you age only until you're 27 - and then you stop aging forever. You've got it quite easy as well. The only way you can die is if you get a stake through your heart, or if you get beheaded. You can morph in to the shadows, shapshifting in to a bat if you want. There is obviously some bad points to being a vampire as well. You have an adversity to sunlight, only able to be in it for moments before it begins to bake your skin. You have an affinity for human blood and must drink daily, but you don't have to kill each time you drink - you can, but you loose a little more of your humanity - ability to feel anything but lust and animalistic.
If you drink something other than human blood, like animals, you will began to change, become less human-like as well, in attitude and appearance.
You have a dislike of the werewolves, and you feel that you are above them in the natural order of things, though the humans are below you both. You remember your past, but as your heart has ceased to beat for year after year, you are very cold and unfeeling - love is very rare, but lust is bountiful.
You sleep in coffins and die to the world as you sleep, only the setting of the sun brings you back to life.
Hunters.
You're a group of traveling humans from all walks of life. You were brought together for sharing a goal - to rid the world of evil. Maybe you had an encounter in the past with a werewolf or vampire? Perhaps your family was killed as the result of one of the werewolves attacks? A close friend taken from you in to the vampire cult? Whatever happened, the council of elders called on you to rid the world of these supernatural beasts - and there's only a few of them left. They're traveling together. You're right on their tail.
You travel by horse and carriage as a group, setting up camp, following the trail of blood and screams left by the creatures. If you encounter them, you fight them. It's your mission to kill them after all. Your combat skills may vary. You may prefer to wield a bow with silver tipped arrows, or you may prefer to use your average sword and shield. You may be a good theif, stealthy at pick pocketing and finding information, or good at first aid and bandaging up wounds. You have a lot of weapons at your disposal. Swords, daggers, shields, holy water, stakes. Use whatever you can to kill the creatures and do the kingdom proud.
=================================
So, once you've read over the summary, it's time to make the CS.

=================================
here I will keep all of the CS's. Refer here if you want to read them .
Hunters
Name: Adam Wilson Bailey (He took on the second name of one of the head monks who trained him)
Age: 26
Appearance:
Race: Human (Hunter)
History/Background: Adam's farther was a well known noble and lord of the local countryside. Adam however didn't experience the noble lifestyle, for he was a love child between the noble man and one of the house maids. The maid was sacked, thrown out on to the streets and left to fend for herself. She scrounged for days on the littlest of food, stolen from stalls or taken from rubbish bins. Nine horrible months of starvation and homelessness later, the maid gave birth to her son. She knew that if she had any chance of surviving she would need to get rid of the baby. A few days after he was born, she left him at the doors of a monastery, a note lying in his rags reading "Adam".
The monks took him in and brought him up as one of their own. The abbot of the monastery, Charles Wilson Bailey looked up on him as though he was his own son. The fact that he was abandoned at the monastery was never kept a secret from him, but Adam didn't care that he had not known his real parents. He was happy at the monastery, the people he had grown up around were considered family to him. As he grew up he was trained in the art of combat, a master swordsman. He lived peacefully this way until one night during summer. He was asleep when the attack began, but was woken quickly. Huge creatures that resembled that of a rabid dog were slaughtering everybody inside the monastery. A fight followed, but Adam hardly seemed to do any damage to the beasts. He watched as his loved ones fell before him, including the man he had known as his father. Enraged, Adam battled on against the creatures, heavily outnumbered. Adam hardly believed that he would make it through the night, but somehow found the strength within him to succeed. As dawn approached the creatures retreated. Adam had won the battle, but with many casualties. His emotions a mix of anger and fear, he set out on a journey to hunt down the wolfmen that had destroyed his home.
It was here that he found his way to The Elder Council. They recruited him to take out the remaining beasts - a job that Adam would happily do free of charge.
Name: Elsie Vanderbuilt
Hunter:24
Race: Human
Appearance:
History/Background: Elsie was borne into a house of strong willed women and has taken after her families curse and become one herself. She was homeschooled at an early age for her inability to get along with other children, anger and violence seemingly her response emotions. She submitted herself to the Circle of Elders to fight for good and protect all that remained innocent in the world. She has suffered from terrible night terrors for most of her life and has an affinity for eating near-raw meat, and burning very quickly in the sun. She began her life as a hunter five years ago and has yet to come across anything supernatural, though she believes without a doubt that they are out there – or so her dreams whisper the truth of their existence.
Werewolves
Name: Jericho Banefield
Age: 33
Appearance:
Human:
Wolf:
Race: Werewolf
History/Background: Jericho was born in Scotland but left at the age of 17 to find new riches. He started trading in the markets of Ireland, working his way up from having hardly any money until he was wealthier than he ever dreamed he would be. At the age of 25 he decided he had worked enough and that he wanted to take a slower pace at life, retiring with his wife and daughter to a small town, . It wasn't long after that when people's bodies were being found savaged in the woods around the sleepy village.
Terrorized at night by howls from the hills behind the town, A group of hunters were sent to investigate. During this time period (around six months) Jericho associated himself with one of the hunters named Adam Bailey, drinking in the taverns every night as Adam would return from the hills without finding the source of the terror. The attacks got worse, the howls coming closer to the village day by day, until one night when it all culminated in to a large battle.
Jericho pleaded with Adam to stay and help protect his family, but a member of Adam's group was wounded and needed urgent medical attention. Adam promised Jericho that he would return in five minutes after he had taken his comrade to safety. Twenty minutes later, Adam had still not returned. Jericho tried his best to hide his family, but to no avail. His wife and daughter were slaughtered at the hands of the beasts. Jericho managed to escape, although wounded and now under the curse. The next time Jericho transformed, he set out after Adam's group, slaughtering all but three of them. Jericho was wounded during the fight, only three fingers/claws on his right hand remain. Ever since, there has been a rivalry between the two - Adam determined to avenge his fellow hunters deaths, while Jericho hunts Adam wherever he goes, seeking revenge for putting him under the curse and blaming him for the deaths of his family.
Vampires
Name: Valdimier and Isabella Dracula
Age: N/A
Race: Vampire
History/Background: The blackwing family has had a hidden and dark past the consisted of back stabbing and stealing their way to honor. They have always had enough resources to get rid of anyone who tried to show who they actually were or broke their vow of silence. Issachar however was different from the rest of his family. he is tired of all this lying and deceit. so he decided that even if it killed him he would bring some real honor to the Blackwing name. When he first showed up on the steps of the hunters guild around his area they took him prisoner and tortured him for weeks before even remotly thinking that a vampire could want to kill his own kind. yet Issachar did and would not budge from his story. after about a year or so of starvation and torture, they finally decided to let him out and teach him their ways. it was a long and painful process that consumed his life but now he is a full fledged vampire hunter.
With the way this RP is going to swing, the vamps and wolves and humans will be fighting each other, so I'm not sure with your character how you plan to fit that into the mix. I'm thinking perhaps you meet my Vamp character and you start to change from wanting to kill us to helping me slaughter everything in sight, or perhaps you meet up with the humans and help them... though they will probably eat you for lunch with you sleep. let me know your thoughts. Let's work out the plot and your character a little before we jump in the IC.
Yeah, there is no chance of a vampire who is on the hunters side. Sorry. Wouldn't work, they are sworn enemies.
Also to anybody looking I would just like to point out that this will be high casual so, I dunno, at least two-three graphs each but no limit on how high you want to go
hey, i don't suppose half-breeds would be a possibility huh?
as for werewolves, even if you don't have any memory of what happened the night before, you can only wake up butt naked in the middle of the forest with a deer's leg in your mouth so many times before you put 2 and 2 together, so would it make sense that people who have figured out they were werewolves would have banded together and formed 'packs' so as to protect themselves from the other humans who would hunt them down (probably becoming bandits and poachers in the process as they would be removed from society)?
the problem with awesome roleplays is they attract awesome players, and the problem with having awesome players is they usually fuck up in awesome ways, and require awesome explanations to correct their awesome mistakes.

Also what's the difference between anima and ether?
Anima allows you to relive the memories of your ancestors, and ether is a drug.

Sounds good - then you shall meet up with me and I'll win you back for the yummy side of life.
Buio - What do you mean by 1/2 breed. We talking human in the day and furry at night? You will have to band together and if we don't have a lot of wolves, you'll have to create a few NPC to run beside you guys, but we'll get a few more.
no, like someone who would have inherited both monster genes and human genes, so he wouldn't be as strong as monsters, but wouldn't suffer as much from their weaknesses either and would be capable of retaining his humanity more. would make for a perfect sleeper agent to slip into a human village that you're planing to raid before hand. figure out their defences, learn about any potential hunters in the village, you know that kind of stuff.
like, a half vampire wouldn't be as strong or fast or charming, but he could survive in sunlight for a few hours before it became lethal for him. A werewolf halfbreed would remain conscious in his transformed state, so he could hide in a human village as long as no one saw him at night, and touching silver would only make him get a rash instead of it actually burning/melting his hand off, but his transformed state would be much smaller, less powerful, and more humanoid than that of full werewolves.
You know, something like that.
and i'm totaly cool with creating NPCs
