@Ruby
I should have mine up during the weekend, its been a fairly tough week of classes; 2 exams, 1 lab practice, and a paper due this week.

You're good, fam. My approach to RPs is "be steady, aim for the long run, don't get caught up in short term excitement."

Besides I knew there'd be a slight delay when I asked for Relations. I just find them important if characters are supposed to know each other already.

Danny and Adam approved.

Post their CSs under the Characters tab and I'll update the Characters tab OP.

That locks the game.

Awesome xD Okay okay, time for CR!

Question, because I can see pros and cons to both aspects of it, how familiar (if at all) should the Scoobies be with Mr. Pierce?

Know he's the school librarian?

Know he's a Watcher?

Should he already be helping them out a little?

Should he already be guiding them in their self-proclaimed fight?

Want everyone's opinion, if you have one.

Since there are of course a few people here that weren't in the PM convo Sergei set up to talk about things, anyone that wants to talk about relations regarding Vic please feel free to shoot me a PM.

Relations for her should be done tomorrow!

It would probably make most logical sense if he was just an unusually helpful librarian, always there to guide them in the right direction, but without telling them any more than they needed to know. Logic is only one consideration though, not necessarily the most important thing.

So I guess it depends on whether we'd be going for a quick start where everyone is on the same page and very little needs to be explained or set up, or spending some time in-character explaining it to the group and dealing with their reactions to it. I think I prefer the second scenario a little, but honestly I'm cool with whatever xD

It depends, since it appears we are starting off at the very start of this tale. Then the group would probably not know much about the mysterious Mr. Pierce. Obviously those who were already at the school for a while should know that Mr. Pierce is a librarian. However if we are starting off already on the monster-killing-as-a-team page then, I think they should know some about what he does, even if it isn't much right now. If that is not the case then I believe it should be left up to each character to have their own relation to the strange librarian.

This is, pretty much, how I'm thinking it should be played out right now. And throughout the game he has to enlist their help, because while Emelia may not care that he's a Watcher and there's this ancient line and he should be her Watcher, she will care very much there are already kids fighting and bleeding for this cause already, without her. This thing that has become intensely personal to her, so it'll shock her to find this group already fighting this fight, and the way I see it right now she feels a stronger attachment to them than to the Librarian Watcher dude. So he figures out the best way to help her, is by helping them.

Be interesting to figure out smaller ways he's already helped out each member of the gang, outside Emy.

But all that to say; yeah, that's kinda where I'm leaning with it right now.

That gif. <3 I never tire of Giles gifs. Can't wait to toss his cameo (or two) into this game.

I'm gonna be traveling for the next couple week, and I don't want to unpack my laptop when I'm with family unless it's necessary, so my relations writeup - and responses to most of the PMs people have sent me about Dana - will probably be on hold until Saturday or Sunday night. After that my posting should be somewhat regular again in time for the start of the IC.

Ok i think i got this relations post ready to go up ^^ hopefully its good because iv never done one with so many people in it haha the life of one who mainly has loner characters ^^

Watcher bio put up.

Toying with the Big Bad's bio. Put it behind a hider; don't peek, or peek. It's so WIP right now there isn't any spoilers in it.

I had a peek at the Big Bad's info. Couldn't stop myself XD Looks cool! Well, not so much 'cool' as 'aggressively scary' but that's what you want in a baddie.

Had a mild fanboy squee at the Giles appearance in the Watcher bio too. Though a sad one, because, well... he's not quite on top form there. But it's okay, because this still exists.

@ruby I have most of my CR ready to go, just have Dana's part to do. Should we post them in here, or edit them into our bios as addendums?

@Blood Echoes why have I never seen this video before! Giles makes an epic Frank N Furter.

Rob Zombie for the win. I knew REALLY early on who to "cast" as this particular "type" of villain. I think everyone's going to enjoy this villain. Very cerebral. Honestly terrifying. This is the Big Bad of a Buffy if the show was Rated M on HBO. I feel a little bad for your characters.

I wasn't going to include ANYONE from canon Buffy, but Giles just made too much sense, and given the "reality warp" premise of the game I just liked having someone make it through that more and more every time I considered it. And there was no question who it would be: it had to be Giles. It just had to be. Yes, he's in a sad state, but you never know. You may get a lucid, clear, Giles for a moment or two at some point. I'm fairly certain, though not 100%, there will be a scene between at least he and Emy at some point. Just have to wait and see where the games takes us, adjust the plot accordingly.

Post them in the OOC. It's not like they'll get lost in all the chatter in the OOC thread. lol

Will be kicking off the IC in a few days.

So character relations. It's that time of the RP. I'm going to post up what I have so far here and may change it if anyone decides to add anything or wants to change something. So everyone who have read Adam's bio get an idea by now that the guy is not exactly popular. He's a bit of an outsider even among outsiders and he's got his family to thank for that.

Adam and Casey(From Adam's Perspective) - Casey would be one of the only proper friends that Adam has in the school. Adam has definitely hung out and enjoyed his time hanging out with Casey outside of school hours although he does not exactly appreciate the nosiness into the Avery family business. Secrecy is key in an Avery's life and perhaps that is what ultimately holds back the friendship from becoming deeper between Casey and Adam. Nevertheless, the two have definitely shared a joint at one point or another and probably occasionally play video games. Casey is a frequent and reliable customer in Adam's little makeshift business and they often exchange advice and tales in regards to the supernatural.

Adam and Blaine(From Adam's Perspective) - Adam and Blaine are definitely good acquaintances and while they have not progressed much further than this, Adam finds Blaine to be a fascinating individual. Most importantly, Blaine appears to be the one person who truly doesn't hold any biases regarding Adam based on his strange and secretive family. Naturally, this makes Adam interested in becoming closer to Blaine however his vanity(whether real or acted) is not easy to ignore and get past. Despite this, Adam and Blaine find things to talk about and Adam always looks forward to the Blaine's visit to his party van whether for a conversation or for an item of some sort.

Adam and Danny(From Adam's Perspective) - This is a bit of an uncertain bag. Both Adam and Danny have a certain weariness of each other. Adam would like to get to know Danny better however he feels that he is kept at a distance and often gets the vibe that he is mistrusted. Fortunately, it's a vibe that Adam is familiar with thanks to his surname. Adam is always happy to receive Danny's business even though it's surprisingly mundane despite Adam witnessing Danny's little episodes. Adam tries to check in on Danny and his ventures with what he purchases but any attempt to talk about any kind of magic often results in rather unfriendly interactions.

Adam and Victoria(From Adam's Perspective) - It's a rather casual relationship. There's a friendly treatment to both but it never goes past a relationship between a customer and a salesman. Adam doesn't pry into Victoria's history and hopes to get the same treatment in turn. There is a certain amount of caution displayed by both sides when it comes to dealing with one another. Adam enjoys the business Victoria provides him.

This may be incomplete or I may have simply missed out on some details for I am just an imperfect human being. Do let me know if you want anything added, removed or edited! I have tried my best and given any more OOC discussions in PMs, I may change what I have thus far before we go into IC. Thank you all for giving your input on character relations!

Here is my relations as to Blaines perspectives, I do not often do relation posts so if anyone would like anything stricken or something seems far fetched please do tell me and I will change it up. Don't worry my feelings are unhurt able :) also bare in mind these are also part of my opening post I worked them in so their written out a bit.

Casey Harrison as far as best friends go he would be it well at least to me, he was in fact one of the first I ever meant that didn't consider me to be an absolute freak or just another annoying smart ass talking about having intelligence and good looks. I guess that he saw beyond the petty attempts to hide the person I am deep down, because his humor was and is very much the same exact thing he uses to shield his own self. If there was anyone I truly related too it would be him, even though he doesn't prefer to talk of his past very much like me, I do know that he shares the same pain of loss and the pain of others cruelty towards himself. I remember our first meeting had been in the Magic Shop where he worked, I honestly never noticed him, I mean why would I, I never thought anyone would be my friend back then. But my particular interests in magic had drawn his attention somewhat, and when I weakly made a pencil levitate off the table for a couple seconds I suppose that was a rather interesting conversation starter. We didn't really hit it off though at first, it was more of a very awkward catching of eye's before I muttered something about chores and quickly booked it out of the shop. No it wasn't until a week later when we happened to cross the path of a rather nasty vampire that we found something to truly talk about. I guess in terms of keeping it short and sweet the rest is history for now at least.

Victoria Cross what could I say about her? I mean besides the fact that she gorgeous, yeah I know not gonna happen but still, well we meant purely through the fact that she worked at the coffee shop that was a stones throw away from where I did most of my magical studying in the magic shop. I never was much into coffee, I always preferred soda but on those long days following sleepless nights I often found myself drinking pitch black coffee while we made small conversation. As it turned out through a slip of the tongue on my part we actually had one thing in common right off the back and that was the supernatural. All be it like Casey her martial abilities far exceeded mine I also came to find she was very heavily into planning, research, knowing her foe inside and out before hand and that was something that I always liked about her aside from her kindness itself. I think the first time we actually bonded in anyway however was when we did research together, it was on two different things but if there was ever such a thing as bonding through knowledge that’s as close as its ever going to come.

Dana Griese another gorgeous girl however in this case if anyone was going to scare me somewhat it was her. Let me explain she is quite combative or in other words getting in a fist fight with her would not be in my best interest, at least when it comes to first impressions. I meant her through Victoria although I am still not sure if it was by coincidence or if they had been friends prior to that, I seemed to recall that she had a rather unique disposition of the clothing I was currently wearing at the time. Now I am no stranger to being insulted and I am definitely no stranger to snide remarks but I have to admit it was fairly refreshing for someone to critique my clothing over everything else, in fact it sort made me laugh. I had heard of the term fashion police but had never meant someone who actually fell under that term. I think it was safe to say aside from that small encounter that Dana was a rather nice person, a perfectionist in many ways but if she could handle my personality then I could definitely handle hers. In terms of us bonding and becoming friends I would have to say it would have been our small cat fights, or she insulted my clothing and I picked something on her and insulter her back, it always brought me a laugh although sometimes I think she wants to kick my ass. Perhaps I should find a job with medical benefits, future note for myself.

Adam Avery our towns secret agent or in other terms a name that often comes up when lesser minded jerks need something they don't understand to gossip about. Adam an me an actually meant before I had meant Casey, in terms of the very first person who didn't judge me on the fact that I had exotic tastes in magic. I had first heard his name through some rather pea brained jocks who happened to be talking about his family, gossip never really interested me but however when I heard he was a guy who could get you things that was what made me approach him. I think it was safe to say that me an him kind of hit off, Adam was often hit below the belt with gossip very much like me, it didn't take me long to realize that while people employed his unique services they often kept him at arms length and kept the rumor train chugging along. All that mattered to me however was Adam was able to get me some of the best items to further my magical research, and you could say that his attitude towards me in respects to my interests and my own attitude towards the fact that I didn't care about what people said of him or his family kind of brought up a little closer. Sometimes I wonder whats fact or fiction in terms of Adam, he is still as much a mystery to me now as he was back then, but all that really matters to me is that he has always been an up front and genuine person to me and even more so without his unique help I would not be progressing with my magical studies as well I am.

Danny McEllis the last one on the list but most definitely not the least in terms of good friends. I guess to start Danny grew up born and raised right in the same town as me, and very much like myself he didn't exactly grow up in a nurturing sort of life. I had seen him before, and if I recall exactly, which I do, me and him actually went to the same schools. Although I have to admit I never really approached him at the get go, he had always seemed rather mean hearted to me and for reasons I couldn't explain back then he had a rather foreboding feel to him. It wasn't until I started realizing that the feeling I got from was in fact heavily related to his magical abilities that I started to get to know him somewhat. It was around our middle school days that we would often play some fairly poor games of D&D with a couple other so called misfits. Sadly thought it took longer for us to be friends, his personality was always a bit edgy for my tastes, it wasn't really until I mistakenly meant him online and saw another side of his personality and realized who it was that I realized to my stupidity that we were more alike then not in terms of who we were on the inside as apposed to the outside. I suppose you have to be rather rough edged to live in a town like this, especially with others who are not as understanding about who you are. I feel our real bonding came from the fact that we are both in the aspects of magic, him more or less with an inept ability but none the less to me it was more then welcoming to find someone I could relate to on that level. I believe it would be safe to say that we are closer then most.
