As long as they're not in what the Chapple family likes to call a "time out" in which they're kept in the cellar, the Lycans live in the Lycan part of the mansion. They aren't allowed in the family part of the mansion without supervision. During the three days of full moon transformation, they stay in the cellar. The Lycan part of the house is at the back half, and the cellar is built behind and underground the Lycan part.OMG! Please do sketch out a visual because that is perfection. I tried to create one in Paint, but my skills for maps/layouts simply do not exist.

Great, that's exactly what I needed to know. Thanks for clarifying that for me!

I am working on a sketch of the property now! Since I'm still at work (and near the nosy eyes of my coworkers), I'll likely finish it later tonight (while at a bar after work, thus not the best drawing environment either). It's not pretty or at all a representation of my artistic abilities lol, but it'll do for informational and visual purposes at least. :)

It occurs to me that I accidentally deleted the information about the Chapple Sanctuary origins out of Winnie's profile so I'll add that back in once I have access to a desktop computer which won't be until tomorrow. Sorry about that!

I'll also add more detail about the relationship she has with James since they're confirmed twins now.

Even if all you do is sketch and label squares as placeholders I won't mind. It doesn't need to be a work of art. My earlier attempt was just so terrible that I trashed it. I know you'd will be better even if it's not what you personally would call beautiful.

Alright, well this is what I came up with. I don't imagine it being exact in terms of spacing and sizes of things, but you get the general idea.

WS stands for weapon shed.

I took some creative liberty and made two ponds (one for each side), since I figured the lycans could really get some use out of having a fairly decently sized pond on their side for swimming or fishing or just sitting around and enjoying when they aren't working on their chores. If you think there shouldn't be two ponds though, then we can just ignore that.

It is perfect, Fate! A lot of it is exactly exactly what I had in mind, and seeing such a fantastic visual representation really helps. I haven't had time to do it yet, but I should be able to work on more of the backstory for the Chapple Sanctuary and Joseph's entire sheet Monday.

Good, I'm glad! I think it'll definitely help out a lot for visualization. I knew it already has for me, as I have just finishing the first post! :) I look forward to reading more on the backstory for the Chapple Sanctuary, since I actually found myself wondering about that a bit more as I was writing.

So I'm assuming the first post is correct that this RP is still open for hunter characters?

Yes, that's correct.

Awesome, I'll be making a CS shortly!

To anyone else who's involved and has their character sheet up in the initial OOC post -- feel free reply to the roleplay when you're ready. :)

I'll make a post once I've completed Joseph's sheet so that I can include all three characters.

Has anyone had any contact with Negronomicon? So far, they were the only one who had any direct dealings with the Devar pack, and I'd like to know whether they're still on board

That sounds good.

I've wondered where they were.... I just sent Negronomicon a PM asking if they were still interested, so we'll see.

Post will be up tomorrow.

So do you have a character skeleton sheet or are we to create our own?

I think we've mostly just been making our own skeletons but making sure we have some essential information like name, age, sex, personality, skills, and backstory. Anything else would be extra, and - as there haven't been any problems with my doing it - you could add anything extra that you see fit.

Alright, here it is then. Tell me if I did anything wrong like if normal people know if lycans know if they exist or not:


Hunter
Name: Anthony Winchester
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Personality: Takes place of leader when needed. Cool and confident.
Skills: Climbing, hand-to-hand combat, tracking, and piano playing.
Bio: Unlike many, Anthony did not begin hunting because it ran in his family. For him, it was more of a personal matter.

Before Anthony was aware of the dangerous world he lived in, he took residence in London and was enrolled in a large university, staying ahead of his peers. A year in, Anthony had met what he thought was the girl of his dreams. A long time after, the two were married and stayed in a . She worked at home and drew for a hobby while Anthony himself surged into calculus work at the university.

One night, Anthony had been late coming home and entered to find the room wrecked with his wife lying on the floor. He checked her pulse but she suddenly bounced up, and after about 10 minutes she convinced Anthony that she was fine. Anthony called the police and had them check the place for an intruder, but they couldn't find a trace.

Anthony continued his studies but noticed that his wife was dropping back, randomly gone for several nights. He didn't want to accuse her of anything so said nothing about the notice. The paper was suddenly coming up with random murders, claiming them to be animal attacks, but something about them seemed off. Anthony became worried that they could be attacked, and stayed safer. His wife continued to randomly disappear, claiming to just be going to the store or getting something to eat at an absurdly late time.

After several more months, Anthony started to become suspicious of her actions. He followed her one day to find an insane discover. He watched her meet up with seemingly other random people inside a building on the outskirts and then...change into wolves. Wolves! Anthony couldn't believe his eyes, but it was true. He watched them leave the building as he continued to be stunned. His wife. A lycanthrope. But that couldn't be true. She was one of the shifters now? No. No way.

After his stunned phase, Anthony returned to his home. He tried to distract himself by playing the piano, but he couldn't stop his mind from racing. Then he heard the door open, and his wife enter.

What should he say? What should he do? Finally, Anthony grimaced and told her what he had witnessed. She took it all slowly, not denying anything. Finally, she admitted he was truthful but then she went onto how this could be their new life, where they could be together and immortal. All it took was a bite. For moments, Anthony considered taking her offer, but then remembered the articles, how there were people slaughtered. He questioned about that, but she pushed off the accusations like it was something that was a casual annoyance. Finally Anthony denied her offer, and she gave a quick nod before transforming.

She tried once more to convince him, but Anthony tried the opposite, to maybe find a cure. She wouldn't budge either, convinced this was the better way of life. Then, she suddenly attacked, trying to forcefully turn him. Anthony revealed the silverware that he was sitting on, slashing at her in the air. She fell back and turned back to her human form, screaming. Anthony stood up, not knowing what to do. Then he left the building and ran for as long as he could.

Later, he found the SOHNS and ended up joining them. He never explained his past, and hopes to never reveal it as he works with them.

Other: I haven't decided if Anthony killed his wife or if she's still alive yet.

While I can't attest to anything about the character side of things because I'm not the GM, I will say that reading your sheet gives me the sense of a more modern time and not the 1800's when this game is set. For instance, living with one's significant other without being married was scandalous in that day and age, especially among people who had enough money to attend university, so you might want to find a way to explain that in the context of the era.

Also, women were only rarely allowed educations at universities. It was generally done in the home by private tutors though it's possible that Anthony's girlfriend was one of the rare exceptions.

It's awesome to get another SOHNS member, though! I'm sure Joseph will probably make a couple of attempts to schmooze Anthony if he's in leadership positions at all.

Yeah you're right about that I should've thought about the time more before I wrote his bio. Thing is I've used that bio with other hunter characters I created but had never been able to use it in an RP so I wanted a retry at using it. I'll adapt it to the correct times when I'm on my computer tommorow.

Thanks for getting your character profile up, TheDoctor! :)

I agree with Kathryn in regards to some of the content not entirely sounding of this time period, so thanks for addressing that soon! Otherwise, it all sounds fine to me, other than lycans are still widely known about and accepted as being real during the time of this roleplay also. So, you may want to adjust that little bit about Anthony not knowing they could exist. It's only after this sort of fall of the lycans that they become myth and legend, since they become so endangered and nearly extinct that it becomes harder to believe they ever even existed at all.

I finished Joseph's sheet, so I'll spend the next few days working up a post that introduces my three characters.

I promise Emma will try her best not to hit him if he starts trying to woo her, and when he starts saying that she should stay behind while they go find her sister for her. But I can promise nothing more then that. XD
