Positions are currently closed unless stated otherwise here. If you have any questions, please message me. Once again, this is based off of a past roleplay created by someone else. I did not come up with this myself (though there will likely be a lot of edits to this version). Rules: Do NOT control other people's characters. Ever. You may call for Val at any time, but he is not an NPC. If you want to do something particularly big plot-wise, please send me a PM first. I will be glad to discuss these things. Keep all romance under PG-13. Anything past the kisses and cuddles MUST be taken to PM. Give some notice if you won't be on for more than 2 days. I will not be responsible for anything you miss otherwise, and it would be rude to leave your love interest hanging. Be polite to them, at least! Respect all players, please. And please keep fighting out of the OOC as much as possible. Take your time with romance. We have a whole story to run. Do NOT kill players or NPCs without consent. You may use the NPCs as you see fit otherwise. Please do not destroy the house too much. I will send Val after you. It will hurt or otherwise infuriate. Feel free to ask questions if you need to. I will gladly answer them as soon as I am able to. I reserve the right to change rules as needed. CS Applications! And here we have some (in progress) images for your ease of orientation. Mansion (at the top) (The door is locked, only the eldest has a key.) There are various servants, butlers, and maids that work in the mansion and know about the curse. All other current servants are NPCs unless specifically noted. Accepted Characters Female [hider=Alyxandrea (geekgrimm)] [hider2=Appearance][img=http://img5.duitang.com/uploads/item/201311/16/20131116215224_mzyfd.jpeg][/hider2] Name: Alyxandrea Embers Nickname: Aly Age: 19 Likes: Singing, playing card games, Her best friend, Sweets, and animals Dislikes: being alone, her family mostly Personality: Aly is a very friendly woman, and is also very confident. She cares very much about her friends, often trying cuddle and hug them to show her affection, and becomes very delighted at compliments.Her feelings are strong enough for her to overcome her fears for her friend's sake. However, she is very quick to lose her temper, when it comes to her friends and comments made about her deceased mother. Despite Aly stating that she has no interest in people, she still selflessly saves people who are in danger - when those close to her are in trouble, Aly will try her hardest to help them. Despite her brave and strong appearance, Aly is a somewhat emotionally fragile person,She has a strong hatred of loneliness. Even when she was a child when was waiting in tears for mom to return for her and insisted on her to stay by her side when she was sick, instead of getting herbs to heal her. Aly possesses the same kind of feelings toward her friends. History: Aly is considered to be a bastard child and servant to her father's family. She is hated by her stepmother, and treated badly by most of her half-sisters. Even though her sisters tended to follow their mother's example, She still helped them whenever they need it. She holds holds a strong hate for both her father; who dragged her kick and screaming from mother's grave and her step mother; who only ever bullies her. She tends to shrug off her step mother's irrating comments and taking her anger out on her. She consider the servants, she grew up with to be her friends. But her best friend Juvelyn, was the one she doted on, and cared for the most out of all her friends. When she had heard her father had put up her dearest friend to be offered to the beasts, She stood up and declared that she volunteered in her Juvelyn's place.

She has a huge heart and tries her best to be kind to others when she is around them. However, she isn't very social, tending to be busy exploring the forest and watching the animals, or cooped up inside of her home with a warm fire and a good book. History: Allie grew up mostly alone, her parents having died of illness when she was very young. After watching them waste away, she raised herself, learning how to cook and take care of her body through experience. She was chosen to be given to the beasts because of her being an orphan. The people figured that she wouldn't be missed. Other: I'll make it simple and develop her more throughout the RP. Theme Song: [youtube]Soa3gO7tL-c[/youtube][/center] [/hider] [hider=Katherine (Miss24601)] Appearance: [img=https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4DBnYBCTXH4/VAXsikf_w5I/AAAAAAAAQk4/zevwbjnE8s8/w642-h722/14%2B-%2B1%2B%25289%2529.png] Katherine's hair is a dark, wine-coloured red, and her eyes are a dark, granite blue. She is lean, with slender curves and smooth, honey skin. Name: Katherine Jeanne Baudelaire Nickname: Katherine has never really been the sort that you would give a nickname, although 'shrew' is a rather popular term amongst relatives and people in general. 'Kat' is another one, although very few are bold enough to attempt to refer to her with such a cute nickname. Plus, she hates it. Age: Katherine is seventeen years old, but nearing her eighteenth birthday. Gender: Female, despite the fact that she is shunned by her family for her so-called 'masculinity'. Likes: Katherine, despite popular belief, does like a fair few things. Most would assume that she is hateful to everyone and everything on the planet, but no. She is very fond of her younger sister, Lilly, as the twelve year-old is, aside from Katherine, the only one of the Baudelaire children without an uppity and superficial nature. She is also very intelligent, with a love for reading and a (secret) love of poetry. She likes a great many sports, and participates in them despite her father's wishes, and these include fencing, archery, boxing and running. She has a soft spot for animals, but is allergic to cats, and she adores chocolate. Dislikes: As one might guess, Katherine dislikes a fair few things. She dislikes her parents for one, what with their sexist and overly controlling behaviour and their inability to appreciate anything slightly different or unique. Save for Lilly, she does not get on well with her sisters, and she absolutely loathes the lessons of etiquette that they were all forced to take since they were six years old (as soon as she was bold enough, she stopped coming to these). She hates rules and restrictions, and absolutely loathes superficial and 'fake' individuals. Personality: “Oh, Katherine, why can’t you be like Sophia? Or Lydia? Or Cynthia? Or Lillian? Or Angelique? Why must you be so… so Katherine?!” Katherine is, for one thing, the opposite of ideal. At least according to her parents. To them, she is stubborn, when girls are supposed to be obedient; tough, when girls are supposed to be delicate; and sharp, when girls are supposed to be soft. She is strong-willed, and hates being told what to do, as well as fairly reckless, and she always has an arsenal of harsh retorts and slicing words behind her rosy lips. She is brave, and very intelligent, with a softer, kinder personality that she defends with a thick shell. She is witty, and very sarcastic, as well as a bit of a hot-head, and she defies almost all female stereotypes. Apart from she loves romantic poetry, which she doesn’t like to admit, as she hates to appear soft or sweet in any way. [hide2=History] Katherine has always been the black sheep of her very 'white sheep' family. With their previously spotless reputation, Katherine came as an unexpected and unwanted stain. In a family dedicated to etiquette, obedience, poise and perfection, Katherine was rude, rebellious, slouched and flawed. Her father, one of the wealthiest men in the town, was a sexist, strict, and arrogant man, whilst her mother was shrill, vain and snobbish. Since childhood, Katherine was the sort to ask questions. “Why can’t I play tag with the boys, Papa?” “Why do I have to wear this dress, Mama?” “Can I stop sitting straight like this, Papa? My back is sore!” “Why…” The Baudelaires simply assumed that this was the curiosity of a child. Something that would be smothered and crushed sooner or later. But, at the age of around eight, that curiosity turned into defiance, and rebelliousness and Katherine learnt to speak for herself. She was not a bratty child, per se, but she was a stubborn one. Then Katherine continued to grow, and the youngest child, Angelique was born. By this point, Katherine was ten years old, and as shrewd as an old woman. She had a soft spot for her younger sister Lilly, but aside from that, she had very few positive relationships. By the age of sixteen, Katherine was loathed by her parents, and she loathed them in return. They were self-centered, wicked and pompous, always smiling and merry to the outside world, before resuming to their cold and callous state from behind the doors of their great manor. Then, about eight months after Katherine’s seventeenth birthday, a solution was found. A way to rid them of their horrible daughter without damaging their flawless reputation: tragic sacrifice? For the good of the town? How terribly perfect! And so, with (fake) tears, Mr and Mrs Baudelaire bid their spiteful second child adieu, before returning to their idyllic lives with five perfect children and a heavy weight off their shoulders. And Katherine? Well, she was certainly peeved, but not surprised. She could sense a hint of guilt in her father’s eyes when he told her the news, but aside from that, she could sense the relief flooding through her two parents. The only one she thought she’d really miss is Lilly, who sobbed and wept as they uttered goodbyes, and perhaps Hugo, her beloved horse. But if some beast thinks that he can eat her up… she isn’t going down without a fight. [/hider2] [hider2=Other] Whilst people referred to her as the ‘shrew’, her siblings were: Jaqueline, 23, the ‘pretty’ one.

His favorite - strangely enough - is a scythe. Likes: old style weaponry, sweets, keeping fit and astronomy Dislikes: loud and droning noises, sour fruits, the moon, his various scars Personality: Not very strange when compared to his brothers, Marlix is a bit of a morbid soul with a strange lust for the fantastic and other worldly. He is a bit of a grump, but he likes to make people smile despite himself. (Just because he's upset doesn't mean you should.) He's a nice guy, really, but he can be a complete and total airhead - often forgetting simple things like his reading glasses or - god forbid- his clothing. He is quick to anger (a trait he shares with his brothers, certainly. I mean, where do you think all of those awful scars came from?) but he is probably the quickest of his brothers to snap back to reality - perspective being his greatest weapon History: (This should be discussed with the others, so leave it blank for now.) Other: He wants to be an astronomer [/hider] [hider=Zack (KatherinWinter)] Appearance: [hider2=beast][img=http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/194/1/c/turtleman_by_bmacsmith-d7qjffh.jpg][/hider2] [hider2=human][img=http://th03.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2012/087/9/2/some_red_headed_bloke_by_kisekikokoro-d4u6y62.png][/hider2] Name: Zack Nickname: Z Age: 16 Color Rose: light blue Tattoo Location: chest Abilities: Zack is a painter.

He’d do almost anything for his brothers, his loyalty like that of a dog’s. He tries to appeal to the ladies as much as possible, so he is known for being flirty and charming. Despite his love for dancing, he actually is very embarrassed when it comes to people wanting to watch him dance, usually blushing and becoming a bit flustered when asked. History: I’m hoping to discuss this with the other brothers. Other: He has a small, faint scar on his right cheek. Theme Song: [youtube]_vBTizLUTs8[/youtube] I wonder if he'll be able to pull off the Futterwacken...[/hider] [hider=Rex (Otaku95)] Appearance: [hider2=Beast][img=http://cdni.wired.co.uk/462x693/s_v/Smc97.png] But smaller.[/hider2] In human form, Rex is of a shorter build than most of his brothers, but has broad shoulders. His skin is quite pale, and never seems to burn or tan. His hair is black, and his eyes are silver. He tends to wear dark colors, mostly black. However he does sometimes don something colorful, such as a Hawaiian shirt. Having an astigmatism, he has to wear glasses all the time. Name: Rex Nickname: None Age: 18 Color Rose: Silver Tattoo Location: Left shoulder blade Abilities: Rex is quite a bit smarter than the majority of his brothers, and while he may not be the strongest, he heals somewhat faster than them, even from great injuries. Even in human form his eyes glow in the dark. Other than that, his abilities are somewhat weaker than his brothers. Likes: Privacy, quiet, music of almost any sort, books, most animals, learning, puzzles, riddles Dislikes: When his brothers annoy him, when his privacy is disturbed, rats and mice, insects and arachnids Personality: Rex is usually quiet and content to sit on the sidelines and watch... or better yet, leave the others to fight amongst themselves while he takes advantage of the situation to do what he likes. Overall he finds little amusement in being with others, preferring to be by himself most of the time. He has a love of animals, and has a pet hawk. While he cannot play any instruments, he does sing, something that a few of his brothers have teased him about. However he holds his tongue most of the time, and finds passive-aggressive ways to get back at his brothers (ie- having another beat them up, using their toothbrush to clean the toilet, etc.). When it comes to women, Rex is a hopeless romantic way deep down... but he gets nervous around them, especially attractive women. History: (This should be discussed with the others, so leave it blank for now.) Other: - Has a pet hawk named Hayabusa. - When Rex can't be found in the castle, he's most likely off in the woods. - Occasionally goes fishing, and finds it relaxing. [/hider]
