Alright, so here it is, the OOC for Peace Keepers. Instead of just copying and pasting everything, I actually have a more detailed explanation of the plot and setting for this world and RP.

As I explained before, this RP will be taking place in an alternate reality of our world. It's modern day, with about the same amount of technology and human advancement, but the only difference between our world and this alternate one is that the existence of supernatural beings has been public knowledge for about half a century now. With the knowledge of monsters and magic being a very real existence and possible threat, the world at first united in arms against these beings, but quickly realized that it was futile, a large part in thanks to the intervention of ancient beings that have existed along side men since the dawn of human civilization. With these "elders" as the humans dubbed them, the UN created a new branch within their organization known as the 'Peace keepers" a sort of world police for supernatural crime and terrorist activity, headed of course by one of the elders and several politically powerful humans.

For our story, we will find ourselves placed among the mecca of the western world, a melting pot of culture and ideals meeting with crime and evil. I'm talking about, of course, New York City. This is a vast area, which is being handled by the Peace Keepers as a "hot zone" of sorts. Being that it's so large, it makes sense that there would be a large population of supernatural beings, so it is of course under closer supervision of the Peace Keepers than most other areas.

For this RP, we will be assuming the roles of characters within one of the several squads that are in charge of supervising and protecting the area of NYC, more specifically Manhattan.

So, with this is mind, lets dive into the next fun part of an OOC, the characters.

Name:
Age:
Gender:
Appearance: (Include pics of different forms if your character can change forms)
Race: (Just a short description of the race and if they have any racial abilities)
Job/Skills: (basically alchemy and other such things, or if you're human this is where "wizard" and such would go)
Items: (Special objects or weapons that have powers)
Personality:
Years in the Peacekeepers:
Why you joined: (An event or reason for your joining of the peace keepers)
Personal Arc: (I like giving sections of RP's off to specific characters, making them the "main character" for a limited time to develop them and just flesh them out further, so just give a short description for a possible personal story arc for your character)

I have created a character template for you guys to use. Now, I don't want you guys to over-saturate your CS with information. In fact, I find the less, the better, for several reasons. A lot of the time people will say their character is one way, yet without giving a legitimate reason, like an event that changes the character, they'll just up and change the character. With a less fleshed out CS, we can get a feel for your character by letting you develop them throughout the rp. The other major reason is I just hate huge CS's. It makes reviewing them hard when I have to read about every little thing your character does or has done and it's not fun for me.

Anyways, with that out of the way, I'll also introduce my own character.

Name: Mia Feral

Age: 25

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Race: Human/Werewolf (This will be explained)
-Mia has the ability to shift into a wolf or any stage of wolf/human forms at will.
-In her human form, Mia has increased physical capabilities, senses and slow regeneration. The more transformed she is, the more magnified these aspects become.

Job/Skills: Trained in several forms of martial arts and experienced with multiple firearms and melee weapons. She is also versed in weak binding magic (basically she can create magic handcuffs and chains)

Items: In the picture, she holds two fist weapons. For the most part, she will always have these on her person including a handgun. Other items vary based on the mission at hand.

Personality: Mia is cold, but not in the sense of being unapproachable. Instead, she is very kind, or appears to be. For those that know her, while she might express an outward warmth and happiness that others could find comfort in, there is a sense of distance. She has always been this way, due to her lack of memory, but she tries and make others feel as comfortable as possible around her, and she does care for her allies, it's just that she is holding back from getting completely involved with others.

Years in the Peacekeepers: Mia has served for 6 years in the Peace Keepers, making her the most senior officer on the team at this point in time.

Why you joined: Mia only knows very little about herself due to being an amnesiac. She was found at the age of 16 in a science lab that was performing illegal experiments on humans and supernatural beings alike, mainly werewolves. The objective was to create a being that could harness the powers of a werewolf, but not succumb to heightened beast like state of the moon cycle. The result of that was Mia, a girl who lost her memories. She has a werewolf's heart instead of a human one, and that has allowed her the physical capabilities that should only fall to pure blooded werewolves. So, with no memory of her past life, she was taken in by the Peace Keepers and raised to become a strong officer.

Personal Arc: Mia lacks a sense of identity. She has crafted a life for herself amongst the Peace Keepers, but within the very back of her mind lies the thought of "who am i?" Mia's personal arc would resolve this, leading her, and through association her squad, on a journey that would end up revealing who she was, and how this would change her.

So, I got everything set, and I can't wait to see what you guys come up with.

also, peace keeper uniform

Also the roster

-Bushi
-Cerulean
-Robin
-Angel
-Ryver's crew

Do you have a larger (or similar) version of that pic of Mia, Phantom? I'd love to make banners again hahaha. Hope you don't mind seeing a repeat of Angel, but if you'd prefer I go with a different character, just say the word!

---

Name: Angel (Angél de Cervántes)

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Race: Harpy (Condor)


Job/Skills: Trained in claw-to-hand combat. Within his sleeves are two long, retractable hooks, which he uses from an aerial vantage point to latch onto an unsuspecting enemy and to pull himself down to them, so he can fight them off using his claws for weapons. (This fighting style is very similar to Xu Shu’s in Dynasty Warriors, if you’re familiar.) He is also adept with reflexes.

Items: Aside from his dual hooks, Angel always carries with him “Angel Dust” – thin, wispy, black or white powdery substances. The black dust sends enemies into a state of sleep or paralysis, while the white dust regenerates health/vitality, at the cost of temporary dizziness. He carries a limited amount with him at once and always replenishes his supply or makes more at the end of every mission. Out of habit, he also carries around self-made ibuprofen and antihistamines (for aches and allergies, respectively); you can never be too careful.

Personality: A birdman married to luck and vodka, with gambling and flirting as his mistresses. He flocks to games of chance and anything that would earn him a solid coin, but he never goes as far as endangering other people. Despite his passion for gambling, Angel is also ataraxic; he's relaxed about nearly everything and gets things done without rush. That doesn't prevent him from being blunt or calling out someone's bullshit, however, as he'll make it known when something or someone bugs him.

Years in the Peacekeepers: Three years

Why you joined: Angel is "burdened" (as he considers himself) with a sense of righteousness. Having grown up in a clan that prides itself on virtue and justice, he too was raised as a vigilante who wanted nothing more than to uphold justice and order - after his gambling and drinking needs were met, anyway. He left home to join the Peace Keepers once their name was known.

get it? burdened? cuz he's a bird

Personal Arc: Sometime during the Peace Keepers' adventures, Angel's homeland (off the coast of Chile) is invaded by what appear to be hungry, large, and seemingly impervious cephalopod/fish/bug-like creatures or hybrids. His arc would include eradicating these bad guys, though with their armor and extreme defense, they would be tough to take down via means of combat. They'll also discover a major weakness being the common substance found in his drugs (which will cause them to shrivel up based on its diurnal characteristics). This arc will be much more tactics-based rather than straight up battling. Totally not ripping off of the Faculty at all.

for more images you can look up "Rami Aikawa" on google, I just used her photo for it lol. And I don't mind repeat pics.

One thing I should mention, every agent, at least while working, wears the same style of clothes that Mia is wearing, just in white instead of black. Those are the official peace keeper uniforms.

Anyways, onto the character. It's interesting to see Angel in a different light. On one hand he's the same as our previous RP when it comes to some of his habits, yet on the other he holds actual moral values making him much more of a "good" person and actually help to society. I like the character overall, and it's nice to see such a strong character coming out so soon. Usually when people post within the first ten hours it's essentially to say "I've setup the basic stuff and will fill in the details later."

Awesome! I'll be sure to snag a pic of her sometime then. And sure thing @ uniform. Angel wouldn't mind either. :P Hopefully they don't consist of shorts; he's not very proud of his wrinkly condor legs. Hah!

I tend to recycle characters when I RP actually; I mold things like backstories, powers, etc. to fit the RP I'm joining, so Angel's less greedy and dog-eat-dog here than his Sinners counterpart was. I'm glad you picked up the differences though, and thanks a ton for the compliments. :)

Name: Robin Voshell

Age: 256 (appears to be roughly 25)

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Human:


Robin is a slim redhead with green eyes and angled features. She is short of stature with very little muscle on her thin frame, and she is always dressed immaculately. The kitsune has a tattoo on her left shoulder blade, the only outward symbol of her true form, and she moves with an easy, languid grace.

Kitsune:


Robin’s true form is that of a three-tailed fox. Kitsune acquire tails as they age, and Robin is still fairly young for her species.

Race: Kitsune
-ability to shape shift into human form with fox-like reflexes and senses
-ability to enter others’ dreams
-ability to create illusions

Job/Skills: Minor hand-to-hand combat, but Robin isn’t much of a fighter. Her most powerful assets lie within her mind. Robin has the ability to both enter the dreams of others and to create powerful illusions. Her less arcane skills include an incredible memory and sharp deduction skills.

Items: Just the clothes on her back, the majority of the time. Robin carries no weapons.

Personality: Robin is cunning and seductive, a trickster like the majority of her species. She is not malevolent, but is constantly mischievous, always playing jokes and pranks on those around her for the sole purpose of analyzing their reactions. She finds humor in all areas of life, often joking when others would be scandalized to do so. Beneath this outward, trivial nature, Robin is wracked with anger over the loss of her twin sister, and she pursues revenge with single-minded tenacity.

Years in the Peacekeepers: 3

Why you joined: Robin joined the Peacekeepers after her twin sister, Raven, was abducted by a coven of Vampires based out of the New York area. This particular group of vampires is bathed in secrecy, and other than the fact that they feed off other supernatural creatures, Robin knows little of their operations aside from the symbol they leave after abducting their victims. She joined the Peacekeepers in order to find and take her revenge on the leader of the coven.

Personal Arc: Robin’s need for revenge consumes her. She has all but given up hope of her sister still being alive, and she now lives only to kill the leader of the mysterious coven. Robin’s story arc would address her need to get passed this anger so that she can learn to live without her sister, and experience love and joy again. Alternatively, the team could find the vampire coven and Robin can kill the leader.

Well, I'm almost regretting I didn't make this first come first serve cause if this quality of CS keeps coming along I'm gonna have a real hard time deciding who to have join lol.

Overall, I like this character, there's a lot of duality within the character and I think that works perfectly with the whole fox aspect. I hope that our next few CS's aren't animal based cause with this we have a fox, a bird, and a wolf XD.

Thank you. :D That duality was exactly what I was going for in this character.

Name: Aini Khairiya
Age: Ancient, but hypothetically 23.
Gender: Female



Race: Djinn or as they are more commonly known, genie. Their race is one of the ancients, since they have been around since the beginning of the world. Like human beings, they are both free-willed and can also be good, evil, or neutral.
A Djinn’s magic is limited to rules that forbid them from granting just any wish or use magic on their own desires. They may be bound to a receptacle by another Djinn and can only be freed by that Djinn or by it’s binders death.

Job/Skills: Primary job is Damage Control since she can repair inanimate object damage. She also can generate any object desired just not anything living. Quite adept in the art of swordsmanship. Thus she is sent out to the field with teams since she is like an armoury and can defend herself.

Items: Gold Lamp

Personality: Aini is a serene soul with outstanding patience (perhaps due to being trapped for many centuries) though she is quite curious about this new world she has found herself in, which is very different from the societies in the past. She is one for following rules and commands to the letter even when it comes to things she doesn’t really want to do.

Years in the Peacekeepers: Has technically been in the peacekeepers for 50 years, but was only freed from her lamp 4 years ago.
Why you joined: An agent tasked with the job of cleaning the Vault, stumbled upon a golden lamp covered in dust. As the dust was cleared by a cloth, a tapping could be heard from inside of it, then a voice begging for freedom. The lamp was taken to the leaders during a meeting and after some effort Aini was finally released, but not unbound from the lamp. Since all of the leaders and high commanders of Peace Keepers were present during her release, all of them inadvertently became her masters. Since she cannot be unbound by the lamp she decided that it wasn’t such a bad place to be part of.

Personal Arc:
Classified
Object number: 142859
Clearance: Level 10
Feature: Ancient Artefact
Location: The Vault
Below the Peace Keepers headquarters is a storage basement, otherwise known as The Vault. It functions as an archive for paperwork, case files, supernatural lore, and artefacts. One artefact in particular has been kept down there since the force was created. A golden lamp. It’s security is the labyrinth. Somehow, its location is leaked and the Djinn who sealed her and is part of a supernatural terrorist group, is after Aini's lamp so that she can be used against the Peacekeepers.
(Basically an arc about killing the Djinn that bound her to the lamp so that she can finally be free from it.)

Selina Moonhold

Age: 28
Gender: Female

Race: Lunar Elf - this subspecies of Elvenkind is a rare sight outside their homeland of the Moon Isle, making it hard to come by real information and more easily come across myths and legends concerning their people. Regardless, the facts are that they possess a more moonlight appearance such as marble-like skin and silver-white hair matched with an icey blue stare, though they have been known to have more purpleish skin or hair as well and red eyes. There’s only one difference besides their appearance that sets these elves apart and it’s their affinity towards martial combat instead of magical arts. Many have come to call their combat abilities as supernatural and in the case of some of the masters of their kind - godly combatants. They seem to hold a sixth sense that heightens their reactions and reflexes and an innate talent for understanding martial combat on a subtle and complex level. Most creatures consider them the height of the martial combatants.

Job/Skills: Like most of her kind, she focuses on martial combat being her greatest strength and knowledge. She seems to possess a unique twist than most though and while sacrificing hard blows and endurance, she has a keen accuracy and ability to dodge blows - even from some magical spells. Besides this, she has a general nic-knack knowledge of various topics, but is honestly dependent on others for their skills outside of combat right now.

Items: Her armor is mostly ceremonial, but provides decent protection against blades and offers extreme flexibility. More to note though is her royal blade which has been enchanted to resist wear, rust, and tension as well the ability to cut away minor and weak magical barriers.

Personality: Selina may not be what you expect from a princess. She is laid back and easy going, but also holds a keen and attentive mind, making her the type to think of something and act on it. She may be less of a dreamer, but if she is tasked to do something or gives herself a goal, she becomes a focused and determined individual. Selina also has a high moral center when it comes to right and wrong and her actions often reflect this, refusing to do little things even like white lies unless she feels an absolute need. Behind her outer shell though, she is a lonely, hopeless romantic - for good reasons.

Years in the Peacekeepers: New Recruit

Why you joined: Simply, she wanted to help people and the best way to do that was using her martial prowess against those who wish harm. She was lead this way due to some royal contacts the crown held even in it’s isolation.

Personal Arc: She left her kingdom for adventure and heroics, but she didn’t realize that behind her brother’s friendly mask was that of a tyrant. This would consist of being summoned/taking a visit back and coming to a realization that her kingdom is preparing for war on humankind because of her brother’s arrogance as the new king.

STOP MAKING MY JOB DIFFICULT GALL.

@ Absolute Grace: Anyways, I like this character a lot too. It's an interesting one being that even though the character doesn't mind the situation, it's not their 'will" to be there so to speak. I also have an interesting plot development for her personal arc that might make you hate me :P

@lydyn: Nice to see "royalty" amongst our cast as well as a truly new recruit. Another interesting character.

You guys have provided me with a dilemma though. Besides angel there are no men amongst the CS's. For the sake of diversity I hope we either get more male CS's turned in or one of us might have to change our character's gender.

Sorry! Tried for something else, especially making a new recruit... but I always make females, lol. Makes sense, given I am one. :p Of course, the effort could be for naught, but ... *crosses fingers*

P.S. I don't think Selina will complain about more females... :p

I thought it would make Aini an enticing character *wink, wink. Nudge, nudge* Oh, I don't think I could hate you, however if things go the way I think they may go (if I am chosen) then I will only hate myself for coming up with the arc idea.

Lol still I do have some ideas and would hope we get at least another male applicant and then I hope everyone after that sucks so I don't have to make any hard decisions.

lol Absolute Grace, I'm RPing a genie in my other RP as well who has the same endgoal (to be freed from her lamp). XD The personalities are total opposites though, so seeing how you play yours out if we get accepted would be something interesting!

Robin and Selina look great too! I like that we're getting a balance of fighters and supporters. I usually play support in other RPs since most go for offense, but everyone here seems to be balanced on that note so far.

On the gender balance, I'm sure Angel would love a female-heavy team too though, Phantom. :P hahahaha. Also lmfao @ "I hope everyone after that sucks". That's a lovely way to put it. XD
I'm going to edit Angel's personal arc just a tad, as a head's up haha.

Phantom: I am sure another male will make an application eventually :)
Edit. I hope I can be part of those ideas X3

Rex: Really? Cool! Yeah, I didn't want her to be the cliched 'Angry-trapped-genie-who-hates-everyone,' I think she has given up on her situation and so doesn't try to fight it. I hope I have the chance to play her :3

Haha poor Phantom! :)

I am sure you will have at least one more male character.

I'm working on a combat mage character (he's male and everything!), will be up tomorrow.

omg All the CSs are so good and everyone's so creative. Mine would seem mediocre after them ^_^; I have a little chance of getting in now lol It's better to die trying than not to try, as they say. Sorry in advanced if this will get kinda long. I can't help to be descriptive XD Here goes nothing!
-
Name: Cerulean Mystique
Age: 21
Gender: Male



Race: Human/Siren - Sirens, as we know it, are aquatic creatures that dwell underwater. They have the power to move swiftly, breathe and communicate underwater. Their appearance are very similar to humans except for the fact that they have a fishtail instead of legs and have gills instead of ears. They are commonly found in the Pacific but other Sirens has ventured through the vast seas and settled there as well. They are usually found in troupes and have their own kingdoms. There are currently 4 known kingdoms underwater. What separates the Sirens from any other race is their ability to manipulate water. They can form any shape from water that can be used either as a defensive or offensive tactic. Hybrid Sirens take shape of a normal human and have all of their abilities. They transform into a seemingly full breed Siren when they are submerged into water. As hybrids, they are generally weaker.

Job/Skills: Basic Water Manipulation. Cerulean can manipulate water but not in large volumes which means that his power is still mediocre. He also wields an Opal Trident, as all Sirens wield tridents, and use it quite well in land or underwater. He has above average reflexes such as back-flipping when avoiding attacks and such. As a hybrid Siren, Cerulean moves slower in water compared to full breed Sirens but can breathe and communicate normally underwater.

Items: Opal Trident

Personality: Cerulean is rather soft-spoken. He isn’t the silent type that most people pickup as a first impression from him. He prefers talking to people he truly knows. Before some events that had happened to him, Cerulean was said to be energetic and lively. Once that event occurred, He quickly became more aware and suspicious to his surroundings. He feels uneasy and uncomfortable when he is alone, as if afraid. Cerulean tends to over think his decisions and plans and is always doubting himself if he should continue what he should do.

Years in the Peacekeepers: New recruit

Why you join: Cerulean’s mother, the queen, the most important woman in his life that he never met, was killed by another kingdom. It’s his job to retrieve the kingdom that once ruled the underwater world. He has no intention to wear the crown. His only intention is to save the kingdom where he belongs. He knows the pain and suffering and losing someone that is why he joined the Peace Keepers. To help himself and others.

Personal Arc: Cerulean Northwood was a normal human being. Was. Cerulean lived all of his life with his biological father and his stepmother with no siblings. As a youth, Cerulean excelled at swimming and competed in interschool competitions and always found himself with a gold medal. He continued to excel with his unmatchable skill until one day his father grew weary. “When the time is right, immerse yourself onto water and embrace who you are.” The last wish of his father was confusing for him but he must abide his father. He went to the local beach, puzzled. He stood at the shallow waters and waited for the waves to engulf himself. The water felt different. He noticed his legs were of a fish but that didn't bother him one bit as everything came back that moment. Mystique. Not Northwood. Mystique. He was part of a kingdom. Is. He’s a part of the Mystique kingdom. His mother was someone special. His mother was the queen. Her mother was killed. Killed by another kingdom. He was saved. The kingdom was invaded. He’s the successor. And it’s his task to get his righteous kingdom back to where it belonged.

=P Given that the other RP is going to be discontinued, I think I shall create a CS too. Originally I wanted to create a Phoenix but it seems that the team lacks fire power. I don't know if Phantom will like this but well let's see how it goes. In the worse case scenario I will revert back to the Phoenix.

There is one particular CS I want to see. <.< Well make that 2. I wonder when they are going to post it. Other than that I am loving everything so far!

x3 Male siren <3 ... that is unusual.

Name: Tristan Dwight
Age: 27
Gender: Male

Appearance:



Race: Human

Job/Skills: Hunter

Skill 1 - Marksman

Tristan is skilled at using various firearms. He is able to hit moving targets at a slightly further distance than the average human. His preferred weapon is a sniper’s rifle rather than the pistol. However He often carries both while out on missions to be safe. He isn't very good at close ranged hand to hand combat. In such scenarios he will have to rely on his wits.

Skill 2 - Poison Synthesis

Using the knowledge that has been in his family for generations Tristan is able to come up with deadly poisons that can paralyze, weaken or even kill his targets. One of his ancestors was the one who came up with the prototype of the ‘silver bullet’ that supposedly kills werewolves. Not that anyone believed his family till 50 years ago. He is fairly familiar with the physiology of some of the mortal (supernatural) races but it still disturbs him that there are a number of supernatural beings that he can’t even harm let alone kill. He refuses to accept that true immortals exist.

Skill 3 - Extensive knowledge of ancient languages

He knows a number of ancient languages such as Latin, Ancient Greek, Classical Chinese and Hebrew, or at least to an extent that allows him to decipher most of the ancient texts and manuscripts that come into his possession. He might be able to read and write very well but he isn't very good when it comes to the actually speaking these languages. This quirk is also true for English. Nothing frustrates him more than having to hold a conversation with multiple people at once. This can be attributed to the fact that he used to stutter as a child. He keeps telling himself that he has grown out of it but somehow he will begin stuttering again when he is very tired or distracted.

Items:

The Compendium

This ancient book has been passed down for generations. It contains extensive notes on a whole range of supernatural creatures and supposedly effective methods of slaying them. Most of the book is written in Latin though there are sections written in Old English. Only the last three newer chapters written by Tristan are in English. He penned down amendments to the existing information about the super natural beings in the new chapters.

Phoenix Flame

This ruby red gem which Tristan wears around his neck seems to glow from deep within. However it seems to be growing duller as if the inner fire is dying. The restorative powers of the gem can barely heal a bad cut let alone a deadly would.

Personality:

Having suffered a huge blow to his confidence Tristan is now much more down to earth. This trait combined with his natural stubbornness and extremely logical mind makes him one of the most goal oriented Peace Keepers around. During missions he aims to complete all the assigned objectives by any means possible even if it means killing innocent by standers. He continues to keep to himself because he knows that few of his non-human colleagues are happy to have a former hunter around. His preference for hanging around the other humans only makes him seem more arrogant to the other supernatural Peace Keepers. Deep down he resents his current situation and he consoles himself by rationalizing that working as a Peace Keeper is better than being locked up in a cell till he dies.

Years in the Peacekeepers: 1

Why you joined:

A typical 9 to 5 job wasn't the thing Tristan wanted once he graduated from college. He needed something more thrilling. Despite having never met his grandfather Tristan was as deeply fascinated by the other creatures that walk the earth as the elder Dwight was. It wasn't curiosity but rather a morbid fascination which underpins his desire to kill and overpower these bizarre creatures. This led him to become an “assassin” for hire specializing in dealing with unwanted supernatural persons. His arrogance made him accept the more challenging assignments that few hunters were willing to accept.

He was finally arrested after failing to assassinate a prominent Elvish ambassador. He would have served a life sentence had he not impressed the authorities with his extensive knowledge about the other races. He was offered a position as Peace Keeper with fewer privileges. When off duty his weapons would be confiscated and he will not be allowed to wander off unescorted. He was also warned that he would be sent straight to prison if he ever stepped out of line.

Personal Arc:

Tristan accidentally discovers the truth about the Phoenix Flame and learns how his ancestor tried to create it. This made him obsessed with finding the phoenix. All he has to do was to capture the bird and complete the ritual to obtain the real Phoenix Flame – a gem that not only heals but allows him to control fire itself. Such an artifact will give him, a mere human mortal, enough power to keep the Peace Keepers at bay and rebuild his reputation as the best hunter out there. All he has to do was to escape on their next mission…

I just want to say I hate all of you for making my life difficult.
