Aurora Falls, Minnesota. Population: 134, precisely. Barely anyone passes through, so nobody notices that something weird is always happening. Well, almost nobody. A few years back a senior at Aurora Falls Highschool founded the Paranormal Investigation Club to deal with these things. On the outside they seem to just be a bunch of kids fascinated with cryptids, monsters, aliens, and demons. But the small group of kids is all that stands between Aurora Falls and any threat out there.

Rules
1- First and foremost, please be respectful to your fellow RPers.
2- At least give a paragraph (six sentences) per post. I understand writer's block perfectly well, but try to avoid it. Additionally, please try and use good English and grammar. I understand typos, but if someone starts using l337 5p34k for anything other than humor, I will be forced to take measures.
3- The RP will follow arcs. Arcs must be completed to further the story, and what happens during an arc will affect future arcs.
4- Keep it PG13. The RP is open to comedy, romance, and violence, but don't make it the main focus. The main focus is protecting the people of Aurora Falls!
5- On that note, the tone of the story will be akin to the anime FLCL. If you haven't seen the series, just watch the first episode. Sets the tone for the next five. ;)
6- Everyone wants to be the big, damn hero. But that, dear children, is cannibalism godmodding, and is, in fact frowned upon. Other acts of godmodding include controlling, severely injuring, or killing another player's character without express permission.
7- Have some fun! But not too much. Okay, forget that second part. :P


Aurora Falls is by no means a normal town. Nobody here is. Well, almost nobody. Here's a list of NPCs I'll be using to control the plot.

- Sheriff Brady: Aurora Falls' police chief. He's a good man, but absolutely blind to the bizarre things that happen around town. Fir the most part he's worried about the (nonexistent) threat presented by "them damn border-jumpers"... better known to everyone else as Canadians.
- Professor Johannes Kugge: A retired scientist and inventor, Kugge is brilliant in the field of robotics. He teaches metal-working at the local highschool, but is rarely seen around town since he's in his garage/lab.
- Harry Hu: A geneticist who went to UCLA, Hu claims to be the inspiration for the book "Jurassic Park" by Michael Crichton. However he works in Aurora Falls for the US government.
- Johnny Soho: A man in his fifties, Soho was the inspiration for the song "Werewolves of London". Every full moon he transforms into his werewolf form. However, rather than prey on helpless livestock or teenagers out on lovers' lane, he drops by the local bar for enough steak n' shrimp to feed a small village in Africa.
- The Kasai Family: The owners of the only Asian restaurant in town, the Kasai family has never given a definitive answer on their ancestry. But not many people ask, since they serve Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Thai Monday through Saturday, and a Mongolian grill on Sunday. However everyone-- Mom, Dad, their daughter Sakura, and baby boy Shizi-- is a neko.
- Rorie: Lake Aurora's resident lake monster. Rorie seems to have some relation to Harry Hu. Normally quite peaceful, Rorie hates it when someone catches a fish he's after.


Character Roster

- Shaine Okami (Otaku95]
- Jason Haldred (Master Crim)
- Roxanne "Roxie" Sumagin (DizzyRenegade)
- Shade (Nanashi)

I'll finish this when I can.

Name: Shaine Okami
Age: 17
Species: Human
Appearance: Shaine stands roughly 5'8", and weighs 177 pounds. He is of a medium build, but with broad shoulders. His complexion is quite pale, and never seems to tan or burn, and his hair is dyed white; his eyes are dark gray, bordering on black. His attire is either camouflage of any color and black, or Hawaiian shirts (very rarely is there any in-between).
Occupation: Student, part-time cashier/waiter at the Kasai Asian Restaurant
Powers/Abilities: Able to manipulate his bone structure into weapons, tools, etc. However, this is at a cost of energy, and he must have an understanding of human anatomy; he once tried to fire one of his finger bones like a bullet without knowing how to set it back in place properly, with disastrous consequences.
Personality: Shaine may seem like the strong, silent type, but he's actually quite shy. He is intelligent, but tends to lack common sense. Once his trust is earned, it is not easily lost (as he puts it, "You could stab me in the back for real, and I'd still call you a friend.") He dislikes being in large groups, and if he must be in one, he tends to stay near the outside of the group, and drift between cliques. He has a very negative outlook on people in general.
Backstory: Shaine has always been the odd one out, even as a baby. His powers evolved over time-- first he went through growth spurts that were ridiculously fast. But eventually it stopped, and his powers began to truly develop. His father is a cross-country trucker, and his mother works as a nurse, so more often then not he was left alone. His closest friend was his cousin Hunter, who founded the Aurora Falls' Paranormal Investigation Club. Last year, Hunter left for college, and appointed Shaine as the new club president. At the moment, he is a junior in highschool, but is taking extracurricular courses in biology, specifically human physiology.
Notes: - Shaine is an anime and manga buff, and his downstairs bedroom (read: cave) has all kinds of memoribilia.
- Shaine is very much a gadget/tech addict, and is never seen without a phone, tablet, or handheld gaming system.
- Despite being raised by his mother 65% of the time, Shaine is almost terrified of talking to girls, despite the fact that he's a hopeless romantic.
- Shaine has been working on a project in Mr. Kugge's metalworking class. What it is is a complete secret to everyone except to Shaine and Mr. Kugge.

Name:
Jason Haldred

Age:
23 (116)

Species: Human/Gargoyle



Occupation:
Table boy at the bar.

Powers/Abilities:
As a half gargoyle Jason has a few passive abilities heightening his human senses, and are amplified when a gargoyle.


Sight: Jason can see 4x better than the normal human, and while in his gargoyle form he can enhance his sight to see heat signatures as well. He is also an expert tracker.

Hearing: Jason has always been a good listener, but the extent of his ability to hear can depend on the situation. In a perfect setting Jason could hear, clearly, whispers from 20 yards (60 feet) away. As a gargoyle this distances is almost tripled at 50 yards (150 feet).

Smell: Jason can train his olfactory senses to aid in many different situations (e.g. smelling compounds, people…)

Strength: While in human form Jason can lift a considerable amount in comparison to his size (tip mid-sized cars), and while in gargoyle form he is capable of lifting up to 2 tons.

Flight: When in his gargoyle form, Jason has wings that are leathery on the underside, but scaled on the outer allowing to be used as a shield from small fire-arms.

Personality:
Jason has a dark history with the human race, but puts up a front to keep his low profile intact. On the outside Jason seems like a normal person just trying to make his way in life as he works as the bar. He talks, jokes and and occasionally dances. On the inside he is filled with anger and hate for what he hold them all accountable for.

Backstory:
Jason was born 116 years ago to Ka'Haldur, one of the kings among gargoyles, making Jason the prince over their land in Eastern France, though at the time his name was Ja'Soldur. As a child of a king Ja'Soldur had only known the lifestyle that accompanied his house and family. He was taught from a very young age about the world around him, history and religions. This was how his life progressed until the Holy War. In human history this was a time of witch hunts, and the slaying of demonic creatures that the church had conviced the people were a plague upon the earth. For many years Ka'Haldur tried to show the people that they were not evil or demonic, but it was not as easy as he had hoped. Sure he was able to win the hearts of some, but these people were branded as heretics, sorcerers of evil and witches getting them burned and tormented.
Finally out of options and the Crusaders quickly taking their land Ka'Haldur turned to war as his final solution. This resulted in many years of blood shed and loss for both sides, but as time progressed the Crusaders had began to learn weaknesses in that the gargoyle kind had. As the enemy began the use of these 'Holy tactics' the war took a turn for the worst against Ka'Haldur and his kind. Ja'Soldur wanted nothing more than to fight back, and he begged his father to let them summon the Great One. Ka'Haldur refused telling his son that if they were to summon him that his power would send the world into a never ending darkness, killing everything they were fighting to restore.
A few more years go by and Ka'Haldur, with his wife and son, are on the run as the Crusaders begin to siege their land and storm their kingdom. Fleeing with sorcerer who had acted as their ambassador many years prior he told them that he could cast a spell over them allowing them to hide among the humans if they so wished. Ja'Soldur looked to his parents and say a sadness in their eye. The were old, too old to keep running and hiding, but their son, the prince, could have this one chance to live and one day reclaim their lost lands. Ja'Soldur refused at first wanted to stay with his father and mother, but after they explained to him what his destiny was now he relented and accepted the offer.
Now taking the human of Jason Haldred, and forsaking his destiny of reclaiming the kingdom, he makes his own path through the ages. The sorcerer gave him a warning with the spell. "It will make you human, but only lessen your powers in that form. As you learn you will be able to change between both freely, but this spell has a price... every month when there is no moon, the utter darkness will draw out your true form and from sun down to sun up you will be unable to sustain the human form."

Notes:
Likes - The moon light, wilderness lands, cold weather and drawing
Dislikes - Humans, Churches, Catholics, anything Templar and confronting his destiny
Fears - Being the last of his kind, be found out and being rejected
Necklace - The necklace Jason has is a clear, pale blue stone with white marbling. It glows one hour before sunset on a night with no moon.
Weakness - Silver infused Steel.

@Master Crim He looks good so far. However, for the time being, I'd prefer his strength in human form to be less. As time progresses, he can work his way up to lifting cars. ;)

I can lessen it when I get back to him, but in human form he can not lift cars; I said that he could tip mid-sized cars.

Name: Roxanne Alexandria Sumagin (aka Roxie)
Age: 16
Species: Human

Appearance: Standing at 5’6” and 120 lb , Roxie is fairly average. She has dark curly hair and green eyes and never goes anywhere without makeup. She’s good looking but no one has seen her without makeup to know her natural look. She tends to dress more stylish and rarely wears jeans and a t-shirt.

Occupation: High School student; Con artist?

Powers/Abilities:
Normal powers: Expert in reading body language and decent in cold readings
Supernatural powers: She has a wide range of psychic abilities although some better than others. What she excels in are aura readings (this with her expertise in body language and cold reading makes people think she’s telepathic but actually doesn’t have that ability) and precognition. Her premonitions tend to be detailed are always sometime in the future whether that’ll be a second to years down the line and she can’t tell when it’ll happen. She can use telekinesis to move objects that are already in motion (like diverting a ball after its thrown) and psychometry where she can only get visions from the object’s recent past (about a day). She also has some ability in clairvoyance although it hasn’t been developed much outside of gut feelings that something’s not right.
Personality: If you want to sum up Roxie in a few words it would be charming pragmatist. She is sweet talker that can get along with everyone but don’t mistake her actions for kindness, she always looks out for herself first.

Backstory: Roxie didn’t have a difficult childhood because in her eyes there wasn’t much struggle or turmoil. She simply accepted her circumstances and went with it. Her father was a gambler and a con artist with some psychic powers and lived a life where he was constantly on the move. Her mother was left behind most of the time caring for Roxie but they were never in any financial trouble. But after some incident (something involving the mob ), her mother left and Roxie’s father took Roxie along on his adventures. Everything she learned was from him and being his assistant. But wanting Roxie to have a more stable life as she got older, her father relocated to Aurora Falls but often leaves for stretches of time to continue his ‘business’ since with such a small population running cons or being a pool shark wasn’t much of an option anymore. The only interesting thing left was the AFPIC for Roxie to occupy her time (and online gambling).

Notes: With her abilities, gambling is never risky. Her games are pool and dice and she’s been trying to apply her abilities to online gambling and to card games recently. She dislikes being bored and people timid people.

Name: Shade (Real name unknown)
Age: Unknown
Species: Ghost

Appearance:
*If aggravated she will take on a second, more scary appearance*

Occupation: None

Powers/Abilities:
  • Incorporeality - She can lose some physical substancy, becoming partially see-through and allowing her to pass through objects and vice versa.
  • Invisibility - By relaxing all of her physical substancy, she becomes functionally invisible, existing as a formless presence felt simply as a cold spot in the air, a shiver up the spine, or a breath of wind in a sealed room. She can still be seen by other Spirits or Mediums.
  • Spirit Eyes - As a Spirit herself, she is capable of seeing any other ghostly presences, even if they are invisible to normal eyes.
  • Telekinesis - While invisible, she is able apply force to a physical object to move it as if she were fully corporeal, at the cost of a good deal of energy and concentration.
  • Banshee Scream - When truly enraged, she takes on her banshee form as is capable of letting out an ear piercing screech of rage that saps the energy and courage of those who hear it. Inducing feelings of terror and hopelessness.

Personality: Shade is a bit of a prankster. Her mischevious streak causes many of the less informed to believe her to be some kind of Poltergeist. For the most part, however she is quite good natured, but when offended she can be very vindictive.

Backstory: Shade has existed in the Aurora Falls High School for decades, in one form or another. For the most part she is a simple ghost story told by the students to scare one another. Shade knows nothing about her life before becoming a Ghost, beyond the fact that her grave is located somewhere in the heavy woodland behind the school. Despite not actually knowing who she was or how she died, Shade is convinced that she was murdered and she has joined the Paranormal Investigation Club for something to do until she can find her killer, or at least her grave.

Notes: None

Name: Chardorn Golbex "Chad"
Age: 32 (Roughly late teens for his species)
Species: Martian
Appearance:

Occupation: Promotional mascot for the local comic book store, Out of This World Comics.
Powers/Abilities: Weaker and slower than most humans, but more intelligent and can climb most surfaces.
Personality: Quiet and pretty friendly. Likes talking to kids the most. He is an avid comic book and sci-fi fan, though he is obnoxious about pointing out the inaccuracies. He's a bit awkward and a total softie.
Backstory: He was the kid that the other Martians picked on for no reason other than he was an easy target. He had an intern position aboard a vessel that was doing a scout of Earth. He wandered off to take a leak and the US Government arrived. His crew left in a hurry and abandoned him. He has since been keeping a low profile, not really having much interest in returning home.
Notes: Really doesn't like Star Wars very much and thinks that George Lucas is a racist. His favourite movie is ET, though can't eat Reese's Pieces because peanuts are not compatible with his biology and make him violently ill. He totally cried when Bambi's mom died.

@RhineQueen How does Chad keep a low profile exactly? I just wanted to know since he has no way to disguise himself, and his anatomy would make it hard to just cover up.

@Master Crim He lives in the back room of the comic book store. Since he works there as the mascot, most people just assume he's a weird guy who doesn't take his suit off. The only person who knows his true identity is the manchild who runs the store. He's the kind of conspiracy nut who was raised on the X-Files and Star Wars, so nobody takes him seriously if he ever tells people Chad is a real alien.
