I think within the next day or so we can start posting in the IC :) Does that sound good to everyone?

Sounds like a plan to me :-)

So far I have liked what I have seen. All characters are approved! For those that have not already done so, you may place your character sheet in the character section. I think within the next day or so we can start posting in the IC :) Does that sound good to everyone? Also, I believe we are good on family heads for the moment. We need some followers for each family. More specifically we need followers for the Orndorff family and the Dragomir family.

Does that mean that I can't post my werewolf crime boss? O.O

@HushedWhispers

Well, Leopold controls the eastern part, V the north, Jackson the South and it seems like Dragos doesn't have a foothold in the city yet. So the west is up for grabs!

Okay. Thanks! :D

Shoot!! Sorry! Yeah you can go ahead and post your crime boss, my bad! But after you no more bosses lol

OK my lovelies!! I am going to go ahead and make the first IC post. If you already have your CS posted and accepted, feel free to jump in whenever. IF you have not posted/have not had you CS accepted, please don't feel the need to rush.

I completely forgot to add the family heads and the section of the city they run to the OOC intro. My bad guys! I will get right on that after the IC post.

Also, try to remember to wait at least two posts before posting again. If you are mentioned in the post directly after yours and you believe you can create another post longer than three sentences, go ahead and post. This request is by no means to keep the RP moving at a slow pace. It is simply to avoid a bunch of one liners from happening and two people filling up multiple pages with back and forth banter. We have a large group, so please be respectful of those who have not posted yet.

As always, have fun!!

@OliviaV
Here she is, finally! Hope you like her and she's acceptable. If I need to change anything, please let me know. :)

@HushedWhispers Alright, looks good! Post it in the Character section whenever you are ready :)

I am so sorry it took me so long to get here! I got dragged on a road trip, which I am still on. I'll be back tomorrow and I promise I will get the sheet up then!

Hey just out of curiosity was the lore regarding "death" discussed? Such as both vampires and werewolves vulnerable to lets say a silver bullet/blade or will "regular" weapons do? or perhaps just raw physical force capable of killing them?

I know the question is a bit silly but most people usually change the lore up a bit from rp to rp

@DragonofTheWest I think it is briefly touched on in the OOC intro. But I can definitely help with that. So for the vamps, a stake to the heart, fire, and chopping off their heads will kill them. Sunlight only weakens them rather than killing them. As for the wolves, I actually don't think I discussed what kills them. But yes, silver bullets, decapitation, and ripping out their hearts. If there is there is anything I am missing for that list, anyone is free to speak up :)

I'm flexible to meet up with anyone who doesn't know how they want to start off

So did everyone just leave this RP? If so I need to know so I can close it down

@OliviaV

I don't think anyone left! It's a bit hasty to declare it dead.

So did everyone just leave this RP? If so I need to know so I can close it down

I'm here but since I was last post in IC there's not much I can do

I hope i wasn't too late.

Name:Doctor Otto Schmidt.
Nickname:Old Otto for the youth, the Beast of Verdun for those who are a little older.
Age:Over a century, give or take.
Family:Wolf - Independent.
Bio: Otto was born as a cub of a pack of werewolves whose home grounds used to be in the Black Forest. His father, a rather oddly prudent and well-thought Alpha, had crafted human identities as hunters, woodsmen and farmers for the whole pack. It perhaps, worked a little too well, because alongside several youths, Otto was conscripted into the Great War. Far from feeling dread, the youths were initially overjoyed, as the madness of war allowed to unleash their inner beasts to prey on the lesser men like the good old times. Otto particulary enjoyed that due to his werewolf senses and hunting habits he was accepted for sniper training. Never the thrill of the hunt felt so overpowering, for as a man he could take lives from impossible distances, and as a beast he could rampage during the trenches in the dead of the night. Or so he thought, until Verdun.

Werewolves were durable. But even their might would not last under the rains of hot shrapnel, chemical warfare and explosives. One by one, the members of his pack died. Not because of silver weapons. Not because they had lost a fight. They were simply blown apart, without a chance to use their wolf might. Only Otto survived, and endured. He eventually began to adapt and turn the tide into his favour. However... he was far from the only one. Tales of not one, but two Beasts of Verdun scoured the battlefield.

He was french. A member of some pack of the Alps. They kept harassing eachother until a climatic struggle in no man's land. A primal melee, while the sounds of mortars splattered the mud around both monsters in a battlefield bathed by the full moon. Machinegun fire muted the growls of an struggle worth of two Alphas. By sheer luck... Otto gained the upper hand. Yet as he was about to strike his opponent down by biting his neck and exanguinating him, something inside cried. He couldn't do it. There had been far too madness already.

Verdun was a big loss to his country. But he came back alive to his home and pack. For his efforts and deeds, he was granted the status of Beta, right under his father's command. Yet... there was little time for rest and rebuild. In the middle of the crisis something ugly brewed. A collective and gruesome country-wide delirium fueled by the words of a madman. And once again, war. Otto, torn between his duty to his family and his personal belief on the rotten nature of Nazis, rejoined the fray in order for the hostigated pack to have some reprieve.

He was deployed in Stalingrad. He never thought that he would see something surpass Verdun in his memories. But the Battle of Stalingrad certainly did so. There were entire packs of werewolves lurking amidst the Red Army. Aggressive Syberian werewolves, bigger and meaner than anything he had seen so far. As well as old vampires, who had turned the Tsarist aristocracy clothes for the uniforms of commisars. He could only count the ammunition left and his wits as the only weapons he could use to stall the inevitable. Yet as he resigned to his fate, bound in silver chains as a trophy to be transported to a prisoner camp, something outrageous happened.

He was freed. Someone had put a word for him, someone whose name and fame had swayed the beasts of the red army. The other Beast of Verdun. Otto smiled at the irony, and decided to turn a new leaf for good. After the war, he studied the art of mending bodies, the medicine, as a penance of all the lives he had taken. He struck a friendship with his french counterpart, Marc Noir, who had become a history teacher.

After moving to San Francisco after accepting a job as doctor, however, Marc expressed his concerns that one of his daughters had disappeared. Otto simply decided that it was his turn to repay the favor...

Personality: Otto is usually a demure and pensive man, having seen enough battle to have satisfied his lust thrice over. He tends to examine things before doing anything and thinks before leaping. He sees violence as the absolute last resort a man can make, and likes to solve things peacefully. However... when the time comes for him to fight back, he does not hit softly. He knows that in true battle and in the madness of combat, the nastiest, most throughout foe triumphs and he will use any method to his disposal to make a foe's enemy life miserable (and being a veteran of the Great War, a doctor and a werewolf, his methods are many). Otto however, is self admittedly clumsy with the feminine gender, and he tends to stutter when embarassed.

Appearance:
(Note, the glasses are just an accessory. He has superhuman senses).
Special Power: Canid Talk: Otto can comunicate with canids as if they were people. He can coerce them to do things, but he can't really control them. Besides, dogs tend to be a little stupid. Still an useful information network, though.
Other: Don't call him a Nazi. He'll flip out.

@AtomicNut Normally I would say no, but it seems many of the people that were interested and submitted characters have either become busy or have lost interest. But I like your CS :)

If you are still around and would like to continue the RP, please let me know. I was gone for a few days due to moving and work, but I'm back now and would really like to continue this RP. If you are still interested, post here in the OOC can we will continue the RP with hose that are interested. We may have to do a little rearranging of the RP, but I think we can make it work :)

@OliviaV

I'm still interested! How's my CS?
