[CHAR] Safe and Unsounded

[Quoll]

Name: Rosella Ruth

Age: 9

Family Role: Daughter

Appearance: Waist length, strawberry blonde hair curls into loose, delicate waves at its ends. A heart shaped, freckled face frames almond shaped, grey-blue eyes. 4'3" in height. Bears a signature, toothy grin with her front adult teeth halfway through growing in completely. Prefers wearing suspended, frilled dresses and cute animal onesies around the house.

Placement and Design of Contract Seal: A large marigold flower drawn meticulously with thin, detailed red and gold linework sits at the nape of her neck, hiding behind thick hair. When observed closely, small falling petals sit around the design, placing the flower within a fine, circular petal frame.

History and Abilities: Her mother was a palliative doctor at a local hospital and her father was a librarian at a university. Due to her exposure at a young age to literature, Rosella enjoys reading and writing in her own whimsical voice, inspired by poetic picture books and comics. As her parents both came from poorer backgrounds compared to their current wealthier position living in the city, Rosella’s fondest memory of her biological parents stems from her promise to them that she would maintain a white collar job when she grows up.

Occupation/Work: Year three student at Calliste Primary School.

Personality Traits and Quirks: Extremely fond of blueberry desserts. Likes bears and thinks she was a bear in her past life, as she is lazy but sturdy and purposed in her actions. Enjoys spending time at the park and rolling down grassy hills, as the apartment isn't exactly the most spacious place to galumph around in.

[AkaiJose]

Name: Lilith (Lily, only by Rosella)

Age: Looks about 25 years, but she's actually about 400 years old.

Family Role: Mother figure

Appearance:

Appearance:

**Height of about 5 feet 8 inches, with a slim, sturdy build. Her eyes are a sharp, piercing periwinkle and her silvery-white hair falls to the middle of her back. She has many piercings in her ears (mostly keeps her helix piercings in) and one on the left side of her nose. Lilith is drawn to darker clothing that is comfortable (sweatpants, tank tops, bralettes, leggings, so on) unless it pertains to work (She's required a white shirt or blouse and navy pants or a skirt). Makeup-wise, she tends to wear dark lipsticks and eyeliner daily.

Placement and Design of Contract Seal: Her contract seal is located on her right shoulder blade, a black minimalistic representation of a marigold head without the stem.

History: Lilith was a demon born in the demon realm and lived among her own there for the first hundred years. She was then required (after being taught how to induce nightmares) to go out into the human realm to feed. She went between realms constantly for another two hundred years or so, eventually coming up with her stones in place of sitting on people (who sat on people in the modern age?) and collected the nightmares that way.
She eventually grew tired of her demon kind (they were very one-dimensional and often liked to boast, Lilith did not have the patience for that) and opted to live in the human realm then on. At first it was pretty difficult; she needed to get a human job to pay for her human apartment and her human clothes. Lilith did a few odd jobs (mail carrier, bartender, etc.) to try and get that money but it usually ended up not being enough so she had to move. This was when she began to dabble in revenge work; giving people nightmares (ex-boyfriend, cheating girlfriend, boss, etc.) in exchange for a place to crash and some cash. She was paid sometimes to do this for many nights, causing people to go into a delirium. It worked out for a bit, but soon enough one of her employers began to push her too much, trying to get her to do deeds beyond her power. The abuse of power was enough to get Lilith to stop, to say the least.
One night, she was planning on inducing a nightmare from a child, Rosella. But Lilith stepped on a toy and caused the girl to wake up. The girl, oddly enough, began to ask Lilith many questions and the demoness was compelled to sit and talk to her. Upon learning she was alone, Lilith could only feel sympathy and decided to stay with her. It has been about a year since then.

Abilities:
-Enchanted Weights: Instead of sitting on someone to induce the nightmare, she uses black, disc-like stones that she can place on them to trigger their fears in their sleep and absorb the fear they give off. If anyone else were to hold these, they would begin to see illusions of their worst fears before their very eyes.
-Phasing: To get into houses and apartments, Lilith can pass through even the smallest of cracks as a white mist (locks, window cracks, so on). If there is a seal preventing air flow or an electric current, she cannot pass through it.
-Demon strength & agility: As a demon, she is much stronger and faster than regular humans, though maybe not so much as other demons.
-Sleepless: Lilith doesn't need much sleep to function daily, as most her energy comes from nightmares. As such, she is usually never asleep.
-Cooking: Lilith has learned from being at the cafe how to cook pretty well. She has many cookbooks she follows and very much enjoys making new dishes.

Occupation/Work:
Day - She's a cafe waitress, even though she doesn't really look the part.
Night - Lilith is responsible for giving people nightmares; she is a mare (not the horse, the demon) so she primarily feeds off the fear people have in their sleep. She only needs to give seven people nightmares per night. Sometimes she will give this nightmare energy to other demons if they request it (for a good price).

Personality Traits and Quirks: Lilith is a very stoic, aloof demoness with a rather brief list of friends. She can come across as cold and harsh, hardly ever participating in small talk or exchanging pleasantries. She doesn’t feel the need to really deal with other people's problems, or trouble then with her own issues. She deals with her own problems by herself, without outside intervention just because she believes she can hold her own.
Lilith is not unkind, despite her frigid exterior. If she has warmed up to a person, she will go out of her way to help them when she can, or take care of them. Lilith is thoughtful and attentive to even the smallest of details so she knows usually when she can aid someone. She has a soft spot for kids and animals, so she spoils them rotten with food and attention, lavishing them with gifts and trying her best to comfort them. She is very giving of her time with those who are not prideful or rude, softening her aura just a tad to show her sense of trust. If anyone were to hurt those she loved (or even worse, misused her loyalty), Lilith can be quick to bare her teeth and cause some harm.
She tends to spoil Rosella and can’t help but feed animals in the street when she can. Sometimes she even brings homeless animals into the apartment (she isn’t usually allowed to keep them). Lilith also loves to experiment in the kitchen (which can be both a good or bad thing, depending on whether the recipe is complex).

[BubblegumQueen]

Name: Trinity (Or Trin, as Rosella is allowed to call her.)
Age: Is actually 548... she keeps track. But, physically she looks about 19 or 20.
Family Role: Older sister
Placement and Design of Contract Seal: A boughet of marigold flowers on her lower back, thorns encircling the stems.
History:
Trinity is a vampire, turned sometime in the 1400s. She lived a rather normal life for a girl of the times. Sure, she always had this inner desire for adventure. An inner desire to break the mold and become more than just the daughter of a wealthy father, cursed to produce children and take care of the house for the rest of her life. And she was able to, when she was attacked one night in her home by a starving vampire and... boom. Hello eternal life.

She didn't really have much training or... really any at all. She kinda just had to go with the flow and figure out what works. Blood? Euphoric. Crosses? Who cares? Coffins? Comfortable, albeit cliche. Garlic? Gross but harmless. No-Reflection thing? Sadly truth but you learn to adapt. Sun? Hurts like a bitch but mostly to your eyes. Everywhere else? A sun burn that could then cause you to burst into flames if you stay in it long enough.

She spent years running around, exploring and doing everything she's always wanted. She traveled to foreign places, learned so much, and she DID so much. She left her 'home' without ever giving it another glance. Sure, she kept up with her descendants and such but she never made herself known. She was no longer Trinita Volgara Hymm. She was just Trinity. The old her was dead and she was okay with that. Sure, she saved up money but she also stole. A LOT. Like, a lot of stuff. And she also killed a LOT of people. She's tried to not kill that much over the past century but it's a work in progress.

These days, she works as a bartender in a nightclub. She doesn't really need the money, she's managed to save up quite a lot even though she does still steal because... it's fun. And it was when she first came to town that she met young, Rosella. Poor girl was walking by herself SO Trinity took the initiative and walked her home and... well, although it's kinda cramping her style... the rest was history.

Abilities:
Super Speed: This one was practically a given. Due to her vampiric state, she is able to run really fast.
Super Strength: Come on, you should've seen this coming.
Insomnia: Trinity is undead. She has no need for sleep.
Advanced hearing and sight: Comes with the territory.
Compell: The ability to make someone do whatever you want. Works only on humans. However, if they're aware of what she's doing or are strong-willed, they can be immune.
Music: She's always had a passion for the music. And although she'll always love the music from the 1900s, she has developed an adoration for current music. She's good at it. You need help making or identifying something, she's got you covered.
Occupation/Work: Bartender/Part-Time performer at said club.
Personality Traits and Quirks: Trinity is quite the departure from who she used to be, and from what you'd expect given the time she grew up in. She's confident, a bit more sexual and open. She's bluntly honest and is not afraid to give her opinions on whatever topic. If there's one thing she can do, it's talk.

She's a bit more playful in nature, having an adoration for pranks and jokes. Due to being forced to stand up straight and be quiet and docile, she's taking her newfound freedom and using it. She's not necessarily the smartest girl around, but she is good with random facts and knowledge. She's experienced a lot in her time.

She's brave, sometimes stupidly so. But, if there's one thing she doesn't experience often, it's anger. She's not an angry being. She's more of the 'flow along' and 'let the chips fall where they may' kinda girl. Some may mistake that for apathy, she prefers the term: Relaxed. And sure, she may have an inablity to stay still and a huge craving for adventure but that doesn't make her unreasonable.

[Sundrop]

Name: Claus Etoria Lendouhyn

Age: Appears 26, actual age 802

Family Role: Father-figure

Appearance: Claus is 5'8", and appears to weigh about 160 lb. His skin tone is a very light tan, right on the line between too pale and too tan. His hair is semi-long and straight, stretching down to halfway below his backbone. His hair is black in color, but also has a faint shade of what looks like brown from afar, but in reality it is a very dark shade of red, much like a ginger-crimson highlight. In addition to this, there appears to be odd, blunt-pointed protrusions at the top of his head, much like horns or a badly modeled pair of cat's ears. The protrusions, in actuality, really are horns being covered up by his own hair being wrapped around them. Because of these, and because his hair in general is long and resembles what the public eye would see as a feminine look, he normally ties it up in a semi-short ponytail to better suit the 'hairstyle' that are his horns. They aren't INSANELY large, so he normally wears a gray cadet's cap to cover them. (Side note- he's got really soft hair. Touch iiiiit.)
To put this bluntly, he looks somewhat generic in the face, having a small nose and thin lips, though he has heterochromia, with his left eye being light blue and his right being emerald green.

Placement and Design of Contract Seal: Similar to a tattoo, there is an upside-down marigold flower design on his chest. Because it is upside-down, its stem trails upward and loops around his neck twice, creating a tightly-wound double helix. In addition, there is also a small, stemless marigold on the nail of his left ring finger. (If you're watchful, occasionally you can see a petal fall from the design and disappear as a new petal takes its place.)

History and Abilities: Claus is a demon of deception, simply put. For about two centuries after his birth, he would visit the human world to cause mischief, both minor and major. Minor as in pulling only-slightly-harmful pranks such as blowing smoke in someone's face and then tripping them, and major as in using his power of shapeshifting to imitate the look of a person in power and act in such a way that started wars between nations. He had only really ever done this out of amusement, but after 200 years it started to bore him, and as the human world modernized, so did he, and he began to migrate, so to speak, with the living qualities of common people. However, he spent much more time amongst other demons in the Underworld. Now and again he would still cause mischief but only do so through semi-playful pranks, opting not to cause mass fighting. He often used his powers to get what he wanted (by which I mean he usually stole things), but this was only semi-often. Though, he had a small disposition that caused him to fall asleep no matter where he was every so often (based on how much he utilized his abilities) and one day he fell asleep in the backyard of a home he planned to steal from. This house belonged to a girl who had lost her parents and had turned to a marigold pact for new siblings, and because Claus was probably the closest demon there, he was one of the first to be chosen. Upon waking, he could feel a burning on his chest, neck, and the nail of his left hand's ring finger, and was promptly informed telepathically that he was now to be the father of a child he hadn't yet met. Now he has to make the best of what he feels is a bad situation, not that he has a choice.

Hey, at least the other demons won't call him 'lazy pretty boy' anymore.
They'll probably just call him 'pretty boy'.

Probably.

An in-depth on Claus' powers below.

Shapeshifting: As part of his purpose of deception, he can alter his look, and change himself to look like anyone humanoid that he's seen at least once before. He can also alter his voice to match that person's voice but he must also hear it at least once. The only flaw to this is that even when his appearance changes, he cannot remove the marigolds or his horns, nor can this power alter his clothing.

Sightshifting: To further aid his purpose, he can briefly make himself invisible and muffle all the sounds he makes. This only lasts a short while at a time.

Power-related deprivation: Though this is not really a power as much as it is a flaw, Claus' energy is directly connected to the usage of his powers. If he doesn't frequently use them, he can go for days without sleep, but the more he uses these powers, the less energy he has and the more tired he can be. If he uses his energy severely exceedingly, he is prone to falling asleep despite where he is to refill the dire lack of energy he has. The only upside to this is that he doesn't have to sleep very long, only needing to rest for an hour at max to be energetic again, however he can wake up whenever he feels like it so if he wanted to sleep for eight hours, he could.

Occupation/Work: Currently unemployed, but that doesn't mean he isn't willing to work. More money = more pudding.

Personality Traits and Quirks: Claus is best described as formal-casual. Externally, he maintains a calm, cool and casual personality while keeping about him an air of sophistication. He tends to have a slight superiority complex as part of his formality, but also is a bit of a troublemaker as part of his causality. In certain situations, though, he can be very nice and show a more polite, obedient and respectful side. However, deep down, he finds a charm in things that are sweet, cute-looking, action-packed, or comedic, though he would never admit this. Because of this, he has an extreme love for two things: pudding and Power Rangers. He is also very eloquent and fluent when speaking, especially when insulting someone, or when complimenting another. He strongly enjoys reading, rhythm-based games, contortionists, and affectionate acts (again, he wouldn't admit that last bit!) to name a few.

And honestly? Sometimes he can be a very easily flustered prude.

[CollectorOfMyst]

Name: Inigo Sombra (meaning 'Indigo Shadow')
Age: Just under three centuries, still considered a child by demonic standards, he looks about 18.
Family Role: Older brother.
Placement and Design of Contract Seal: The contract seal is located on his left wrist, resembling a full-colour tattoo, each of the petals slowly fading into flames.

History:
Inigo is a Flame Demon. His purpose isn't like those of higher Ranks – those who feed off of emotions or events – but he does have a mischievous side which he will occasionally put into practice, should there be a convincing reason for it. He left the Realm when he was still quite young, only seventy, and wandered the human world, curious about it and the people whom were the obsession of many of his peers.
As he wandered, he thought about a good few things, and learned a good amount more. He also had to depend on his wits when he found himself in some particularly tricky situations, in pranks gone wrong or when he'd encounter those who were aware of his true nature. Eventually, though, his wanderlust brought him into the modern age, and he found himself travelling around a whole lot more, trying to experience all these new things. But he began to want for somewhere to belong, too.
Then he found it. One day, at dawn, he found himself outside a house, and made eye contact a little girl. It was then that he felt an intense burning on his wrist - only to discover the Contract Seal.

Abilities:
Smokin’: Inigo can exchange his human form for what resembles a cloud of black smoke. This form allows him to travel at extreme speeds, and get through small gaps, provided he stays out of direct sunlight – at which point he will immediately revert to human.
Candle next to the Inferno: He can summon the smallest flickering flame, or a raging bonfire, and retains full control of it as long as he isn't distracted. However, what he can summon depends on his current emotional state.
Demonic Strength: As many demons obviously possess, Inigo has greater natural strength than a human.
New Dawn: Though he doesn't necessarily need to sleep, he does need to rest. And in order to regain his power he needs to experience the light of the new day. This can leave him drained if he is unable to get there.

Occupation/Work: Has a part-time job as a barista in a coffee-shop. He's known for always serving drinks at the perfect temperature.

Personality Traits and Quirks: Whilst his joking nature tends to lead people to assume, Inigo is actually quite hot-headed. He only gets angry when sensitive topics are brought up to him, though.

He's also fiercely protective, and cares a lot more than he lets on. This leads him to go to the aid of anybody close to him in his life. It likely stems from being alone for the better part of two centuries.

And lastly, Inigo knows quite a bit about the world and the things in it, giving him a brand of logical thinking that few others tend to have. It lets him pick up on things others might not usually notice.

Mike

Name: Mike

Age: Appears around 19-21, really around 115-117

Family Role: Uncle

Appearance:

Mike and Paul are around 5'11", and are slim. They have some muscle, but they're not too muscular. They both wear clothes that go down to their wrists, and usually (definitely when they think they might touch someone with their hands) wear gloves. Sometimes they're leather, sometimes woollen. They wear jeans that go down all the way to their trainers.

Placement and Design of Contract Seal: Mike's contract seal is two marigold flowers tied together at the stems, on his left foot.

History and Abilities: Mike and Paul are identical twins, born to a wealthy family in London, around 1900. They both went to a private school, where they learned a lot, and also both gained an interest in music. However, they both decided to become doctors, and went to university in London. This allowed them to conscription in World War Two. Unfortunately, they didn't manage to get to an air raid centre in time during on night of the Blitz, and were both on the brink of death, lying next to each other. However, they both woke up, with no memory of any their lives, other than their names and the knowledge that they were identical twins, in a room with each other, and a man they did not recognise (although they wouldn't recognise anyone at this point). He explained the them that he was a memory feeder, a type of demon that feeds on the memories of others, whenever they touch anyone who isn't another memory feeder, even when they don't want to. He also told them that he found them on the ground, and decided to turn them into memory feeders too, making them immortal, and saving them from death. This, however, required a great deal of energy, which he gained by absorbing Mike and Paul's memories of their entire lives. Knowing that, if they were discovered, they would never be able to touch their families again, Mike and Paul fled London, and were presumed dead. Since then, they have been roaming the UK, mostly getting money by performing, or writing music.

Occupation/Work: Mike and Paul work on their music in their bedroom. At least of one of them is in there at a time, either working on music or sleeping.

Personality Traits and Quirks: Mike and Paul are never seen together, unless you go into their room, which they don't like anyone doing. However, they can be heard practising or writing music, or playing music that they like. Some people aren't even sure that they're two people, and think that it's just one person with a mental disorder.
Mike is the more kind and caring of the twins, and will try and do as much as he can for others (as long as it doesn't involve touching people). He always tries to look his best.

Paul

Name: Paul

Age: Appears around 19-21, really around 115-117

Family Role: Uncle

Appearance:

Mike and Paul are around 5'11", and are slim. They have some muscle, but they're not too muscular. They both wear clothes that go down to their wrists, and usually (definitely when they think they might touch someone with their hands) wear gloves. Sometimes they're leather, sometimes woollen. They wear jeans that go down all the way to their trainers.

Placement and Design of Contract Seal: Paul's contract seal is on his right foot, and is a mirror image of Mike's (two marigold flowers tied together at the stems).

History and Abilities: Mike and Paul are identical twins, born to a wealthy family in London, around 1900. They both went to a private school, where they learned a lot, and also both gained an interest in music. However, they both decided to become doctors, and went to university in London.

However, they can be heard practising or writing music, or playing music that they like. Some people aren't even sure that they're two people, and think that it's just one person with a mental disorder.
Paul doesn't care much for others. Yes, he can form strong, long-lasting relationships with people, but he doesn't go out actively seeking them. He also doesn't attempt to keep his appearance great, either.
