CURRENT TIME IC: TUESDAY, MAY 19TH. 11AM.


UPDATES/Q&A
(in response to questions asked):
Q: What is the scope of "supernatural" creatures in this RP. Is it limited to Gothic stuff like ghosts, vampires, and werewolves, or is it literally any supernatural creature? Hypothetically, could I play as, say, a chupacabra?
A: As long as it can take a human form, you can play it. For instance, one of my characters is going to be half golem, half panswé Belu.
Q: Are Supernaturals everything that is not a normal human? Or could Hunters with, for example, Psychic abilities exist?
A: Hunters are like...1000% human, no freakiness about them. I feel it would be a little unfair for the supernatural if a hunter could read their minds and know what they were at the drop of a hat. The only way I could see your scenario is if the character in question was a hunter, developed the powers-therefore finding out about a hidden supernatural lineage or something(idfk)- and had to flee the hunter lifestyle....
Q: Spies?
A: I don't even really know if spies are a viable choice, given supernaturals can identify each other so they'd know if a human was just lurking around. Unless it really is just a human not trying to hide they're a human? Like...pretending to be on the supernatural side? It wouldn't work on the supernatural side because Hunters have their personal spaces protected.
Q: How do magic users fit into this rp? Are mages or sorcerers strictly supernatural, or are they potentially hunters or random humans as well?
A: They're Supernatural. My character is the last True witch, but there are still mages and sorcerers around, they just have more limited abilities than a witch born and raised in magic. So mages and sorcerers would have to train and use tattoos and staffs and stuff to access any magic as it doesn't inherently run through them like it would a Witch.
Q: How do Hunters typically identify Supernaturals?
A: Often it's much like in teen wolf or supernatural or damn near any show with hunter references 😂: Research. They hear some kid say his neighbor has glowing eyes? Stake it out for a couple days before ensuring the kill. Someone says they bought this protection amulet from someone with a small stand at the corner of Smiths and Broadsfield? Well that fucker might still be there, time for a classic kidnap and torture. Sometimes they'll get tipped off by another hunter that knows the Family name of supernaturals (such was the case with Darnies's aunts and cousins) and sometimes they'll kill anyone that is even hinted at being weird, depending on how big their reason or bias is. Mundane humans have been killed by hunters who don't care if an accusation is true.

There's a long-standing feud between Humans and the Supernatural; Humans have their Hunters, the Supernaturals have themselves, and it's forever a game of cat and mouse. Some get caught, some retaliate, some just want to be left alone. They city of Gravette seems to be experiencing an influx of new inhabitants; You can only guess who they are.

The underground world of the Supernaturals just got a little more cramped. It can only be expected that some new hunters follow them.

The Humans, who are unaware of these struggles, are getting rather scared at the sudden spike of corpses on their streets and in their alleys. Some have wounds from what seems to be a wild animal, others are shot full of unconventional bullets and chemicals. There's obviously some type of war. But- the humans ask- between who? And how long before normal citizens fall into the mix?

Welcome, one and all, to Gravette; A beacon that's sure to draw nothing but strife for all involved.


>Hunters are humans who are aware of the supernatural and have a bias against them for one reason or another- which should be explained in the History or Other section of the CS. They have necessary equipment- Silver, iron, Magic dampening cuffs or ties, etc.- needed to take down Supernaturals. Hunters usually excel in one Supernatural type, but others know a little about many different ones.

Ok so you can play as any type of supernatural creature (barring a Witch) as long as they can gain a human form, a Hunter- they can have their own special weapon or trick- or an unaware Human caught in the crossfire.

Supernatural Creatures have a way of Identifying each other. They can have tattoos or hidden symbols on their skin that appear should they so Will it. (i.e. Darnies has a shimmering crescent moon under his eye that appears should he let it, and Chasa has her Chai tattoo, which shimmers to show she has Supernatural energy imbued in it, not just average tattoo ink.) Whether or not you choose to add this to your CS or reveal it later in the story is up to you. Darnies and Chasa are my characters and you can read their CS's in the OOC.

I know the summary is small so feel free to ask questions!

STANCES:
  • Active- If you take the active stance, whether you are a Hunter, Human, or a Supernatural, that means you are actively going for and possibly killing/hunting the other party. (Hunters going after Supernaturals and Supernaturals going after Hunters. Humans would be on the Supernatural's side, lest they become Hunters themselves.)
  • Oblivious- Human yet to be immersed into the World. If you take the Oblivious stance, you are a human who knows nothing about the war going on between the Hunters and Supernaturals at the start of the RP. But a while after the RP starts, you become aware that there are Supernaturals and Hunters duking it out in the world.
  • Inactive/Uncaring- If you take the Inactive/Uncaring stance, you are a human or a Supernatural who is aware that there is a war going on between Supernaturals and Hunters, but don't want anything to do with it. You don't care about the war, and you don't want to join. In short, a neutral. However, if a Hunter or Supernatural forces you (in any way) to retaliate, you can do that. Not applicable to Hunters.
  • Further Explanations courtesy of @Loki Odinson


Rules:

  • Post at least a paragraph.
  • Warn me beforehand if you're going to leave so I can find a replacement/Have you write a post of your character dying.
  • 3 Character limit per person.
  • Don't get into an argument with other members.
  • I gave up on rotating posting a long time ago; if you have something to post/someone to directly reply to, go ahead.
  • All CS's need at least one picture reference.

Alright, allow me to address the points you made in the interest check one by one

1. Change it to Caucasian, easy enough

2. For whatever reason, images are a bitch on this site for me. Coding issues, perhaps

3. Alright, a little adjustment here to fit with your lore. She was psychic, and one of the ghosts was an old Native shaman. He taught her what he knew, and she was able to intuitively fill in a little more around the edges. There was a book, too, that she managed to find in Boston, that taught her more about necromancy

4. First, she put her soul in the crystal while she was alive. At this point, her physical body was dead. She used necromancy to manipulate her corpse into grabbing the knife, performing the "surgery", and placing the crystal into her body to restart it.

Hope that helps.

IC is up! You do not need to post nearly as much as I do, and I won't be doing that much every time either, it's just long because it's an intro to a scene that will be important throughout the story-(the bar)- and setting dman's character up to appear.

Also, I have 2 characters to work with dialogue wise so I can go longer lol

@sassy1085 Whenever you want. You can enter the bar or have already been in it, or you can have your characters somewhere else. We'll find a way for then to be part of everything.

@hagroden That's good! Something I posed to blackdragon: as your character seems to have an intrinsic ability as well, is that to say he has that as a psychic ability? Is it common in the family? Is it what originally led them to researching Druidic practice?

@AnaSilan Sunja

In order of Questions; No, Moderately, No.

In the Lore I'm using, telekinesis is an ability common among two types of people in Druidic Families; those born with intrinsic druidic talent, and those who have become powerful enough druids to use it. Harold himself was born with a predisposition towards druidcraft, which stood out even in a druidic family as large and powerful as the Steins. Because he was born with Intrinsic talent at druidcraft, Telekinesis came naturally to him; however for most druids, it would take decades of practicing before one could efficiently use telekinesis. As the Steins family hierarchy is based exclusively on power, most/all of the higher ranking members of the family would likely be able to use Telekinesis as well, although the weaker members likely wouldn't. Telekinesis is simply a type of magic Druids tend to be good at, particularly the stronger ones.
