Welcome back Dot and Clumsy! It's great to have you both back with us.

Also, Unlit, I really liked your character concept. Bravo.

Ok, I've updated the 'Cast' section with links to the CS's. If I made a mistake in the links or missed someone, just let me know. Dot and Clumsy you'll of course be added when I have something to link to :).

If you're still working on a CS, again don't worry, there's a lot yet to be done before anything crazy happens. I'm starting to work on the first IC post as we speak.

Righto -- haven't really changed much from the original, aside from a brief blurb to vaguely cover whatever happened at the end of the prior RP.

And it's good to see so many familiar faces back again. I didn't think we'd be back in business so soon.

Name: Nestor Grimsley

Gender: Male

Age: Appears to be in his mid to late thirties, actual age is closer to four hundred and fifty years, give or take a few.

Creature Type: Demonspawn; a human with the soul of a demon.

"I can remember many things. I have done many things. And in no matter how many ways I try, I can't quite seem to successfully commit suicide"
Nestor Grimsley

What then of these demonspawn? Who and what were they? I do not believe we know ourselves, and if any did, most would doubtless keep it to themselves. Enough to say that each is consumed with the insatiable burning of a demon's soul, and yet left with the mind and body of a man; it is said we might live for an eternity, though few are those who live more than a lifetime without being wholly consumed by their own inner self and thus – in the end – devouring themselves to break free of their humanity.

Of those that survive, and somehow find balance upon the precarious brink between the two halves, it could hardly be said that they ever live a life of comfort or are given a moment's peace. The desire to feed might undo even the youngest of vampires, and how much more so a creature who finds itself twisted to the point of consuming its own soul?

Appearance: Generally prefers to dress quietly, with moderate tastes and mostly to the period. Granted, a few old habits remain: he seems quite possessive of an old gold pocketwatch that he keeps with him constantly, and his hair is left long -- though tied back tightly and kept well free of his face.

When she should choose to show herself, Nestor's demonic soul most often takes the form of a crystalline, vaguely humanoid being; it is generally unclear – perhaps to Nestor just as much as anyone else – what her motives might be, and her choices or feelings do not always reflect those of Nestor's humanity. Still, to see her as a separate entity entirely would be incorrect, as the two are are inexorably linked.

Skillset: Nestor Grimsley, as with most of the company's more 'unstable' operatives, tends to work on the basis of a subcontractor with a per-job contract arrangement, and the mutual understanding that his services – while beyond adequate and backed fully with a curriculum vitae that extends for several centuries – will be called upon only when absolutely necessary. While he remains one of the few demonspawn who has managed (apparently) to stave off the constant gnawing of his demonic soul for nearly as long as the company itself has been around, such assets are considered at best a usable tool for especially difficult (or clandestine) jobs, and at worst a recipe for a multinational shit-storm and mass grave cover-up should things go really wrong. Thus, perhaps an asset best kept off the books. Somewhere Nestor would prefer to remain.

Though he does, admittedly, wield a respectable bit of power in the case of need, Nestor prefers to present his strengths as an academic and general renaissance man of the 21st century; a glorified jack-of-all-trades, though perhaps that would be a term best used behind his back. And out of earshot. A sane, civilized and cultured demonspawn is still a demonspawn, after all. Despite having failed so spectacularly whilst on assignment for the company some two centuries ago, Nestor found himself contacted once again for a contract of an especially delicate nature – surprising, considering the extent of the fallout caused years prior. To the great relief of his employers, no doubt, disaster was (in some cases rather narrowly) averted, and for the first time in two hundred years Nestor finds himself again on the Company's short list.

Still, some might consider it a question of when and not if he might lose control again.

Ok, so I posted the first part of my opening for the IC. Please don't be alarmed! Much is to come to explain the setting, and where your characters can enter into the storyline. Please don't post in the IC yet! I just wanted to give you all a little tease of what is to come.

We're getting close to getting full, but I think we can squeeze a few more in :).

And thanks for the kind words, I'm glad everyone is as excited as I am to get under way. I'm going to go make myself some green tea and I'll be back to work at it.

Could I squeeze in too please :D Really interested in the concept of this RP and the caliber of the group forming. Got an idea for a shapeshifter-type character I'm drafting a CS for.

Go for it.
I added a portion to 'The World' section of the OOC. Hopefully that helps those both new and old understand some of the major players in the Veiled World, and also give a touch of needed backstory that would have been cumbersome to explain IC.

EDIT: I also just updated the 'Cast' list with some short explanations and pictures for Archibald Bain, Reginald Hoyle, our creepy secretary, Zoey, and the most loved, Cornelius , the rubber duck butler.

Fatesy! I remember you. I'd thought we'd lost a good man. Hooray for being wrong!

In Other News:
This caste looks to be, like, intimidatingly good. So good, I had to add an 'e' onto the word 'cast' in order to look more competent.

I'm still scraping Daisy-bits together. I'm pretty seriously considering changing her appearance, because I can. But still with pink hair, obvi.

Heroes, I assume the current IC is the functioning synopsis for where we left off last time? I'm trying to figure out whether or not Artie shall be joining us right away...

This episode is taking place at least several months following the unwritten conclusion of the last RP. It'll be wonderful to have Daisy and Artie back!

Oh, stop it. I'm a textbook introvert, I hate parties.

But I love sarcasm, irony, and hyperbole, so I do spend quite a bit of time on internet forums, mostly being pedantic.
