[OOC] Unknown Neighbours

[Dragonydas]

Long ago, Monsters roamed the lands, killing any human they encountered for either pleasure or food. Those were dark times, and the general populace feared those monsters... Until heroes started to arrive. All over the world, normal humans, using only their brilliant minds and great strength, managed to kill the monsters and drive them to extinction... Or so they thought...

Now it's the year 2016 and everyone is looking for supernatural beings. Werewolves... Vampires... The Big Foot... Everyone is searching for them without even realizing that they are just around the corner, living close to them... Maybe even in the same neighborhood...

On an unknown city, in an unknown country, there is a strange apartment building with a large fence surrounding it. No one has ever met or seen any of the residents and no one but them are allowed inside. Huge trucks have been seen pulling in to the extremely large garage but no one has ever seen what they were unloading. No one knows anything about that building... No one except the monsters living peacefully inside.

Bright Times Apartments. That is the name of the building where monsters make their living, hidden from the eyes of the general populace. In this building everyone is a friendly monster. There are mermaids... vampires... and even a friendly gorgon, the building administrator.

Many spells are in place to prevent their secret from coming out. Alarm spells warn when a human attempts to cross the fence and illusion spells show only a flowery garden for those looking inside. It is a safe haven for monsters who are only trying to live a happy and peaceful life, hidden from those pesky heroes that still hunt them to this day...

I've gotten busier all of a sudden and don't think I'll be able to make it for this. Wanted to tell you so I didn't leave you hanging and so I could say sorry.

Sorry! :(

Sloane the Witch

Sloane Shields | 35 | ♀ | Witch

ROLE

Resident

APPEARANCE

Appearing to be in her early-mid twenties, her pale green eyes stand out the most: although mostly a dull green, flecks of deeper emerald and gold dot the irises. She tends to wear dark eyeliner and eye shadow that compliments the color. Sloane’s skin is dark brown in contrast, and she wears make up to accent her high cheekbones. Her dreadlocks are dark brown–nearly black–in color and are styled like a Mohawk with both sides shaved close to her scalp. She walks with a tall, confident demeanor and tends to wear a combination of tight pants and layered tanktops to show off her tattoo sleeves. Toned arms and legs stretch far, emphasizing her height and slimness–high heels help, too. She also has tattoos behind her ear, neck, on her back and legs, hips, below her chest, and..elsewhere. Said tattoos include but are not limited to her zodiac sign, favorite quote, a semi-colon, and tribal designs. When it comes to jewelry, she has small gauges in her ears and long necklaces that dangle over her chest. She’ll sometimes have thick bracelets and rings on, as well.

Height/Weight: 6'1" / 150 lbs

Notable Tattoos (aka magic imbued tattoos): Water color compass on her wrist that she can use to locate items or people via magic. A tree of life on the back of her neck that has roots that extend down to her back tattoos. This tattoo is what gives her extended life. On the inside of her arm, she has “seize the night” scripted in Latin: carpe noctem. It allows her to read and speak Latin fluently and was one of her first tattoos.

ABILITIES

Her magic isn’t terribly strong and she needs to research a lot to do large spells–such as the ones she links to tattoos. However, little things such as telekinesis are doable without the extra effort. Magic also works like a muscle–the more she uses it, the stronger and easier it gets.

STRENGTHS

+ The more she practices, the stronger her magic gets. Through research, she’s capable of–but not limited to–things like brewing potions and charming jewelry limited mostly by the imagination.
+ She’s conscious of what she eats and frequently works out; while she doesn’t focus on strength, she is fit and excels in endurance. Being in good shape allows her magic to grow stronger, too.

WEAKNESSES

- She might be a witch, but her body is fundamentally human and she bleeds just like everyone else. Her magic is affected by her state of mind and body, as well, so being sick or severely injured will weaken her.
- In regards to the magic tattoos, if they’re badly damaged or removed the magic will stop working as well.

BIO

Magic has run in her family for a long time, though the farthest back she remembers is her grandfather who was particularly powerful. He taught her the magic she knows now growing up since his next in line–her father–wasn’t around to do so. While he raised her in magic, her mother raised her in a normal life. In high school, she attempted her first original spell to help her through Latin class: her “carpe noctem” tattoo–and it got her addicted to both tattoos and magic.

- A particularly romantic Valentines Day led to a teen pregnancy with her first boyfriend. She had planned to raise it with him, but when he died she put the baby up for adoption instead (1996). Then she dropped out of high school to become a tattoo artist. Neither her grandfather nor mother were very happy, but they tried to be supportive due to the tragic loss.

- Grandfather passed soon after, leaving her alone to continue her studies in magic. He left her the ring bonded to Nox and a leather bound journal filled with his personal research.

- She met an immortal woman named Candy in her early twenties when she was just finishing up her apprenticeship and parted ways just as she started her own tattoo parlor. Meeting Candy inspired her to look into achieving immortality after her mother passed away.

- She created a tattoo–the tree of life–that leeches off the life of others who she gives tattoos to and it has slowed down her aging (she ages about ¼-1/3 slower than a normal human). The more people she tattoos, the longer she’ll live. However, she still can’t live forever and she’s still trying to find a solution.

- She owns Ink Shields, a tattoo shop located on the same block as the apartment complex. Due to a witch's ability to easily blend into human life, she has taken on role of a sort of guardian of the comedian. She offers her magic in spellweaving the illusions and the like that help keep humans away from the apartment and its inhabitants, for example.

OTHER

Has a magical cat named Nox: his fur is made up of various shades of grey and black and his eyes are a bright yellow. He’s a demon bound to her family line via a yellow spinel ring she wears, and he can transform into a large panther-like feline in order to protect the ring’s wearer. The ring allows her to communicate telepathically with Nox and summon him no matter where she is, though it does take some effort.

[Deserted]

Name: The Boogieman
Age: Immortal
Gender: Male (duh)
Role: Janitor

Appearance: The boogieman is invisible to anyone without the eyes of a child. The more mature their perspective on the world, the less visible he becomes. To a child he appears as a black form, somewhat spindly. His core is blurred. Then, there are his eyes, which seem like a hole punched through the darkness. He is roughly human, but most noticeable of all is his Cheshire cat smile of deviousness and mischievousness.
At will, he can force himself to become more visible to those with more mature perspectives, but this is temporary and tiring.

Race: The Boogieman

Abilities: Oh, the usual, he can be intangible, has the power of telekinesis, can fly, can smell fear, simple mind reading (of the imagination more than anything), and can walk through other’s dreams and (in fact) can control them into becoming nightmares.

Strengths/Weaknesses: The boogieman feeds off of fear. The darker the hour, the stronger he is. However, even in the light of happiness, joy, and hope, he is not entirely powerless.

The Boogieman is a cleaning commando. He hates disorganization, messy, dirty, and broken. This causes him to tidy up just a little, then a little more until the place is spotless. This is like one of those elite training phases where he blanks out and comes to his senses later on, only instead of killing a room of ninjas, he has cleaned a wing of the apartment complex to exquisit order.

Bio: As the years went on, and his associates dwindled, The Boogieman found that while humans were a threat to him, they were no match. Many monsters before him had boasted invincibility only to have some hero rise up and slay them. But The Boogieman was a cool character, not making himself a public figure, not boasting, not getting greedy, and most importantly, not revealing himself ever.

He is elusive and evasive, and it has paid off. That is not to say that he is a recluse, quite the contrary, however, even those who know him don’t actually have any certainty. He jokes so frequently slathers everything in metaphor and is incredibly unpredictable that even when he does share the truth, there is no way for anybody to know. Likewise, he strikes from the shadows without anybody ever knowing where he came from (and in many cases, that he was even there after the fact.)

Sorry for the tardiness

Rashid the Ifrit

Name: Rashid Murtada Darzi
Age: 33
Gender: Male
Role: Tailor/Seamster

Appearance:
1. Monster Form: Rashid's true form is a a being of smokeless flame, constrained in the shape of a human. The flames resemble the general outline of his human form, though is feature less save for a pair of glowing orbs where his eyes are.. The red flames flicker in the wind, and only burn when Rashid wishes it, and the strength and color is dictated is dictated by Rashid's health and emotions. On his back are a pair of large wings, also made of fire, whose wings are twice the length of his arms, though he can retract them into his body if he wants. He stands at 6'7" and has a thin and lanky build.

2. Human Form:

My Hider

As a Jinn, Rashid has the ability to shapeshift, but his preferred form is that of a middle aged man of Middle-Eastern descent. This form is just as tall and lanky as his true form, and wears the same clothes as him, but always seems to smell of incense and smoke.

Race: Jinn (Ifrit)

Abilities: Fire manipulation, Enhanced Strength, Flight, Shapeshifting, magic, imperviousnss to man made weapons

Strengths:
+ Rashid is unnaturally string, in whatever form he's in. His strength is such that there is he can lift cars with some effort.
+ His shapeshifting is limited to only his imagination. He can take any form he wishes, though he is unable to change genders
+ He cannot be harmed by man made weapons.

Weaknesses:
+ Magic, in any form has a greater effect on him than it would a human.
+ Rashid is quite proud of being a Jinn, and as such often underestimates others and limits himself on some of his abilities.

Bio: Rashid Murtada Darzi, like most other Jinn, was raised a devout servant of Allah. He was taught the teachings of Muhammed by his tribe elders, and was trained in the art of sewing by his parents. He was soon making wonderful robes of beautiful designs for his sisters, and handsome vests for his brothers. For a time, life was good.

Shortly after his (Lunar) fifteenth birthday, he was forced to flee his tribe after being found by a group of Taliban. The tribe, who had been cutoff from human contact for generations, had welcomed the insurgents in with welcome arms, only to be slaughtered by the bullets that had been blessed.

Fleeing for his life, Rashid made his way through Afghanistan where he traveled alone for years. He eventually made his way to America. It took even more time for him to make his way to Bright Times Apartment. He still gives daily prayer to Allah for guiding him to the apartment and giving him a new home.

@Bourgeoisie

Accepted and added to the characters. IC post will come soon.

[Kidd]

Where's the IC??

[Dragonydas]

Alright. I need to write up an explanation it seems... Something that I did not account for happened and due to that, I'll have to travel to Spain for a week. I will only leave in the 3rd of August but I don't find it reasonable to start it right now and then leave you guys without me. I will write up the IC once I get back on either the 11th or 12th and then I'll pm you guys. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Kidd]

Alright, I don't mind the wait. Maybe we'll get more interest in that time

Have fun in Spain!

[Kidd]

I'm gonna go ahead and officially drop. I know it's probably dead anyway, but, just to be polite.
