A Supernatural Store OOC

[Kagura]

Welcome to the OOC! Open. PM me for details!
IC!

The year is 2015. Not much has changed, really. Unless you count that fact in the year 2012, Supernaturals revealed themselves to the humans of the world. Vampires, werewolves, witches... anything from storybook tales roam the earth and have for some time; they have only revealed themselves to the public recently. Some believe it was a good decision, others... not so much. The humans are still afraid. The Supernaturals aren't treated like equals. Protests for both sides are commonplace. The thought of coexisting peacefully doesn't seem to compute in the human minds.

But in this little section of an average city, there is a store that seems to stand tall even when surrounded by humans. It's a store of the supernaturals, by the supernaturals, for the supernaturals. It has everything from ingredients for a witches brew to Fae's next meal. There are other stores like it, of course. The differences? The others are located within cities (more like tent cities, really) designated for the supernatural. This one is the only one in a city where humans are rampant and supernaturals are fewer.

We run this little store on the corner. Each of us different but all existing with each other. Some want to be on front lines of equal rights. Others want to leave and go back to the forests and lakes of the old days. Others still don't care much either way as long as something is done soon.

This is where we pick up our roleplay. It has been three years since the creatures came out of the not-so-proverbial closet and the riots don't seem like they'll settle down anytime soon. Hate crimes against us are common. People have damaged the store to try to run us off. But we stay. Most of us, because we have to. We have nowhere else to go.

The store is called Out of this World General. It holds anything any other general store would; the difference being that a normal human would shy away from the things that move on the shelves. It is run by a quiet old ghost that everyone calls Jack the Rip-offer. He's never seen much and when he is, it's never a good thing.

Be as creative as you'd like with your characters! In fact, the more creative, the better. Everyone sees sparkly vampires and evil vampires. Make your vampire special somehow. Or better yet, use uncommon myths most people wouldn't think of.

Brief History: (one paragraph)

I'm not asking for much on these. Just something brief that will get us going in the IC, where the real fleshing out of the characters begins. This is mainly for the Race and powers.

Accepted Characters:

Name: Mercury

Age: 27

Gender: Male

Race: Leprechaun. With the help of his teleportation, has the ability to hide corporeal objects in a place only he knows exists. Has the odd weakness of, when sugar or salt is spilt, has to count every grain before doing anything else.

Appearance:
Wears a red suit jacket over a white button up and black slacks. No tie, of course. This is business casual, not men in monkey suits.

Personality: Cunning and sometimes seen as unlikable. He can be cruel in his efforts to get what he wants, but he always seems to have a plan. He's good with money and finances. If it were his choice, he'd stay as far away from people as possible. That is, until they had something he wanted. Due to his modest dislike of other people, has a tendency to play tricks on them.

Brief History: Mercury once worked in a salt factory, put to work by evil men who wanted control him and his treasures. He was forced to count individual grains of salt day in and day out with no rest for over a decade. Mercury never found out how those men knew he was a Leprechaun nor how they knew his weakness, but the factory was burned down by a rouge pyro and Mercury was swept away from the salt by a firefighter. Since then he has been on his own and that's just the way he likes it. He may not know of his roots, but that doesn't stop him from enjoying the simple things in life--money.

[Whispers]

Do they have to look human, or could they be a creature in it's rawest form?

Also, sorry if my app isn't pretty. Something's wrong with my keyboard, and I cannot add anything extra to it.

[Coati]

Name: Devon Landvik

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Race: Werewolf. Able to change into a wolf at will and against his will when he experiences extreme emotion or pain. As with traditional werewolves he has no tail in wolf-form and has an extreme aversion to silver. Even just having silver held close to him can cause major discomfort. Contact with it causes burns that don't heal quickly, like any other wound for him. He tends to have no preference for either human or wolf form and his wolf form can often be mistaken for a wolf-like dog.

Appearance:

Devon has dark brown hair and light brown eyes. He isn't anything special to look at, at an average height and average attractiveness. His clothes tend to be dull and earthy tones, often with a large jacket. He spent his early earnings at the store on an amulet he had made by a witch that allows his lower layer of clothing to transform with him (Socks, underwear, shirt and sometimes pants) but loose or heavy clothing isn't able to do so. This charm is kept on a thin copper chain and is a small quartz crystal. It isn't visible under his fur and is tucked under his clothing as a human.


Minus the tail, of course.

Personality: Devon's personality somewhat resembles that of a guard dog. Fiercely loyal to those he is close with, he strives for harmony in the group and is easily threatened by change. He is of average intelligence and relies more on a likable personality to get his way. He does have a temper though and can be very callous to those he doesn't like.

Brief History: Devon has always been a werewolf. He was born in Norway under a combination of particular events, including a new moon, that resulted in his lycanthropy. However, it didn't surface until his teens, when he had to learn how to get control over his wolf form that often made him more aggressive, skittish and impulsive. His parents did all they could to help him and were extremely supportive. Devon was able to have a fulfilling teen-hood despite the complications that the condition presented. He was studying at a college in the town mentioned in the OP when Supernaturalists revealed themselves to the world. He himself didn't confess his lycanthropy it to anyone, but left his college and went to look into the Supernaturalist communities. He ended up taking a job in the shop, mostly to have a chance to observe these people. He's mostly in charge of shop security.

Yeah yeah, I know Werewolves aren't the most interesting monster, but I think he'll be fun to play. :P

[Shiftipher]

Name: Sachimu. (Mu is his preferred nickname, but he's not picky~.)

Age: 8900 years. He is an old bastard. :I

Gender: Male.

Race: Partial Kirin. Kirins are extremely powerful beasts of Japan; but since Sachimu is only half Kirin, he cannot do much without a Master. Mu has the ability to grant almost any wish his master asks of him, which has both it's ups and downs... But Kirins are very picky about choosing Masters, and can become very temperamental without one. The only powers Sachimu has on his own are extreme speed, flight, and impeccable hearing. He also is able to spread oxytocin (a pheromone) when threatened, which makes his attacker less likely to, well, attack.

Appearance:
Mu is 5 feet and 10 inches tall. He weighs about 130 pounds. His legs are shaped like human's, but from his mid calves to ankles are covered in brownish/grey fur which hide red hooves. He has a long, skinny flesh colored tail with brownish fur half way down the underside.

Personality: Fairly quiet, mostly because he is very sensitive but prefers to keep thoughts to himself. He hates upsetting other even more than being upset himself; mostly because being upset is something Mu has become used to. He will go out of his way to make others smile, including sacrificing his own happiness and dignity. He doesn't exactly have much happiness to be taken since his last Master died... As if Sachimu's joy died with him. He has something against little girls, they are the one thing that manages to disrupt Mu's overall calm disposition.

[Vigilantek9]

Name:Aloisius

Age: timeless

Gender: Prefers to be Male

Race: (also give a small description of your powers here) Demon, It has the ability to manipulate fire,teleport short distances, become invisible, and changing its appearance.

Appearance: it's appearance that it uses as a deafault is a medium height skinny man with long black hair, and dark eyes.

Personality: it's generally apathetic but still likes to help his fellow beings in order to redeem himself and escape the negative conatations that come with being part of demonkind. Because of his race, an inner evil always makes it difficult for it to do helpful things.

Brief History: (one paragraph)
It spent a lot of its time during 450-500 B.C. Corrupting famous warriors and helping them in battle since then he's spent all his time tormenting humans. Until in the early 2000s he had a run-in with a famed exorcist and narrowly avoided being destroyed, it spent the years after that attempting to help other beings, and the supernatural reveal in 2012 offered him a chance to do that better.

[TheInspector]

Of course, if any of this isn't okay, just tell me.

Name:
(The Now-Shipless) Captain Vann of Bloodline Llrutelfyn, (The Now-Stranded) Space-Pirate Extraordinaire

Age:
42. A little less than middle age for a Lon.

Gender:
Identifies as male. Actually gender-less. Or both genders. Either?

Race:
Lon-Myl, commonly known in the galactic community as the Lon. All of his race are natural shapechangers. Their natural form is a vaguely humanoid figure that either appears male or female as they please. They can take the basic form of any near-humanoid figure. It takes practice and concentration to reproduce an exact copy of a specific individual. He also has access to random, small gadgets from his space-faring race (the specifics of which are to be determined; some kind of pistol, personal shielding?, a few medical somethings).

Appearance:
However he pleases. He owns clothes for both genders, although he usually wears male clothes. Unless he's in one of those moods.

Personality:
Extremely self-centered. Extremely knowledgeable, but not about Earth so much. He has been living on Earth for a few years, so he learned some about human society, but not too much. Charismatic, bordering on annoying. Generally good-natured, but with the occasional exception, of course.

Brief History:
Vann was born forty two Earth years ago on a small planet in another galaxy. Long story short: his family was not doing so great. Bloodline Llrutelfyn was known for getting the short end of the stick. Eventually, his poor fortune led him to become a Space-pirate, looting entire worlds of riches. Most of the work was done by the crew that he conned into "loyally" following him. Eventually, Vann's crew got tired of his antics and decided to strand him on the next planet they landed on. That planet was earth, four years ago.
I figure this is enough background and it'll be developed more in the RP. or I could add to it if needed!

[Ljet]

Name:
Volgun Canter

Age: Looks (25) Is (304)

Gender: Male

Race: Cambion (Human-Incubus)
His father was an Incubus, giving powers of the mind such as:
Telepathy
Brain Control (Weak)
Ability To Go Into Dreams
Because of his demonic back ground, Volgun is weak to:
The Cross (A Blessed Cross, a cross with no holy background has no effect)
Religious Activities
Holy Water

He does have wings that he hides, but because of his mental abilities, he has no problem blocking them from humans minds.


Appearance:
(Wears trench coat to hide wings.)

(They are smaller, the spikes reach the about the top of his back when folded.)

Personality:
Volgun is calm and collected all of the time. He has a strong will and mind, and knows alot. He loves learning and has always been a book reader. He has a "meh" attitude towards humans. He has lived long enough to see that in time, humans will see the error of their ways, and fix them (Most of the time). Supernatural Discrimination will be fixed, it might take hundreds of years, like with black and woman discrimination, but it will be done. He does not have a set hobbie, but he takes on one every year, and has assumed a massive collection of knowledge about almost everything. He can tell you how to make a pocket watch the same way as back in 1902 while also explaining how to turn it into a highly deadly explosive. He is patient and never rushes anything.

Brief History:
Volgun has lived through the birth of america. Being born from a British noblewomen and a lonely Incubus, he was shipped to america to disappear. He grew up learning from the best teachers (Demon and Human), and grew into a fine young man. He was trained in mental combat at age 7 (From His Father) and grew into his demon abilities. He stopped aging at 25, and moved across the young colonies. He joined the war for independence and was there when america had become united. Serving through almost every war (Up To Vietnam), he was a veteran at war. He learned to adapt to hiding his true self through the ages, it was hard, but he pushed through. Traveling the world, he learned all he could, his travels took him to a small shop "Out of this World General" where he provides antiques and loves to stop buy and learn about something, whether it be about the voodoo supplies, or pick up something from a book. Leading him up to now.

Well here's Ben again, I mean...why not Ben? x)

Also, you guys realise they won't be fighting all that much? What's with the talk of guns? D:

---

Name: Ben “Creep” Archi’shirox

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Race: Mushura Raptor (“cursed”): The word ‘cursed’ is a loose term to describe what Ben is, but generally he is a type of creature that is thought to had been created from the earliest forms of rogue arcane magic that transformed one Archaeopteryx into a human-like magical creature where strength is swapped for magical abilities. The creature had changed almost completely from this feathery dinosaur into a creature that looked similar to one that would evolve millions of years later, becoming wise and gentle with impressive magical power, essentially becoming the first animal-like wizards of the supernatural world. When a Mushura is dubbed as “cursed”, it means they have an unfortunately high level of arcane magic in their systems that may cause the afflicted to mutate into a horrendous and primitive creature, bringing shame upon the race with its hideous visage. The transformation can be held off so long as the afflicted Mushura uses its arcane magic and doesn’t experience extreme emotional trauma. Other than curses, magic and a strange shape, Mushura are agile, tough-skinned, have superb vision and have feathers that can extend on their arms allowing temporary flight. Despite Mushura holding a certain name-claim, many have become used to being simply called 'Shaman' due to some having an exaggerated dress sense as they perform their incantations.

Appearance:
Normal form:

Spoiler

Monstrous form:

Spoiler

Personality: Ben is gentle and kind-hearted, a trait commonly seen in the shy and mysterious Mushura. While it is extremely difficult to accidentally harm somebody with Mushura magic, Ben is often scared that it might backfire when he practices it and will keep to himself when he needs to learn how to control it properly; otherwise he is very social and tries his best to help others through his shyness. He’s quite a big eater despite his small frame and isn’t afraid to partake in alcohol, especially after only discovering the ‘magical elixir’ when they were able to reveal themselves. He takes insults lightly, preferring to shrug them off than become angry and go monster on their asses. Despite his less-than-creepy personality, Ben earned the nickname ‘Creep’ after co-workers from his first human job noticed how strangely fascinated he was with human beings; despite how nasty the nickname appears to be, he doesn’t mind being called it because it’s such a human-specific word making it almost fascinating.

In his monstrous form, Ben becomes vicious and quick to react; however, he isn't quick to try and kill. He'll threaten and hiss at any creature that's larger than something that can fit into his mouth, shaking his feathers angrily. Ben retains some level of control in this form so long as he is able to focus on familiarity making him quick to recognise humans and less likely to attack them, so long as they don't attack him; however, he may attack other supernatural creatures that are recognised as hostile through primal instinct due to millions of years of exposure to the changing supernatural world. The form may not last long, but the time he spends in this form is always undetermined and random. He'll eat anything in this form, from trees to trying to munch down car tires.

History: Like every other Mushura Raptor, Ben was born underground in one of the vast metropolis that remained hidden for many millions of years before humans evolved into what they are now. The Mushura were a fairly secluded bunch of magic wielders, but it was Ben that would be destined to leave the sanctity, whether he wanted to or not. Ben hatched with an exceptionally high level of arcane energy, becoming a monster if it all became too much or too little. These kinds of Mushura always popped up in history somewhere, but always they were dealt with through extensive treatment and training; of course, with the new age, it was easier for the treatment and training to commence in the human world where the direct sunlight would keep the 'cursed' one happy and allow magic to be expelled in another way other than ways that may cause cave ins and damage the metropolis. On the surface, Ben had the unfortunate need to make a living to survive in this vast land full of humans and other bipedal lifeforms, along with many quadrupedal lifeforms too. If he was to help himself and win the respect of the Mushura by not appearing creepy and freakish, he would need to earn an honest living and find ways to use his magic to keep himself stable unless he went back home a failure only to be 'dealt with' by his fellow Mushura.

Do they have to look human, or could they be a creature in it's rawest form?

Also, sorry if my app isn't pretty. Something's wrong with my keyboard, and I cannot add anything extra to it.

Yes you may.

Also, I like everyone's characters. I like how the Devon wasn't bitten, but born. And that demon... he doesn't need a host or does he make one himself? Vann is an alien, correct? And Volgun... is it REALLY a trenchcoat or is it an overcoat? XD

And of course Ben. And Sachimu. I added history to the list for CS, if you guys want to fill that out. Just a few sentences, no biggy.

I'll put everyone on the accepted list when I get back from school in... 7 hours. Crap, I'm already 4min late!

[Angelica]

I'll be posting my CS soon
