@Alfhedil

It's all good! I think everyone is still busy with stuff so there's no rush.

@Dutchess Sarah

Awe I'm so sorry to hear that! Take your time, don't stress over it!

[Alfhedil]

General check to see who is still here and working on posts.

@Lionhearted@PrincePierce@DinoNuts@Stitches@HushedWhispers@Kitty@Monacho@Taytay@WolfLover@Hero@Polaris North

[Polaris North]

I greatly apologize for the amount of time to collab is taking. I think it should be about ready but I need some feedback from the others.

[Hero]

I'm here, waiting on a reply from Lion, I guess?

[Lionhearted]

@Alfhedil@Hero

So sorry you guys~ I've been so busy with planning some incoming trips outside of the country. I'll be traveling back to my mother's homelands and it's been 40 some years since she's been back so it's going to be a pretty powerful trip for us. I'm going to try to get a post up tonight!

@Polaris North

Are you waiting on responses from them? Because if so, we can wait a little bit longer before calling it quits and continuing on with the roleplay!

[Lionhearted]

A small scene change in this post! The officials will begin moving people out from the square which will result in our characters potentially being separated or going out together for further interactions!

[Polaris North]

@Lionhearted

I am, but it has been a while since they've been on. Shall I post the collab?

[Polaris North]

- Apologies for the double post -

[Lionhearted]

@Polaris North

Just post it, I don't want to wait any longer on them. Especially since it's about time things should be moving along.

[Polaris North]

@Lionhearted

And done. Apologies for that. I suppose that once we move on, I can be able to post again for William.

[Alfhedil]

As a reminder to everyone who can actually load the page and view posts, we do have a discord to keep in contact with each other. If you're not on it yet and it's possible to keep Guild up long enough to do so, PM me and I'll hook you up with an invite. Benefits of the discord are that it's not hosted off a soviet-era toaster.

[Lionhearted]

I’m so sorry guys, I’m currently in Cambodia and I’m really busy with family and traveling so I can’t really keep up for right now and maybe for a few weeks longer.

[WolfLover]

Sorry I haven't been online, rl got quiet busy for me, so I didn't have time to come online and do stuff.

[Alfhedil]

It's alright, just trying to see if anyone else is still here now that guild is mostly functional again.

[Prosaic]

@Lionhearted I don't know if you're accepting new characters but I made a CS in case you are. It's okay if you're not!

| {Appearance} |

Osmond is the kind of guy that's affectionately referred to as stylishly messy, with a headful of rumpled, dark blond curls and a pair of intense brown eyes. With a hard chin and high cheekbones, the boy is considerably handsome in an almost ordinary way. A small birthmark stands stark at the right corner of his jaw and is usually made more apparent by deep dimples when he's smiling.

Standing at around five-eleven, the boy is built lean and gangly with long limbs. He's almost always found in oversized black hoodies and jeans, his clothes make it easy for him to blend in to his surrounding company. He wears a shark's tooth necklace at all times.

| {Fears} |

- Burning To Death || This fear stems from his connection to water, he feels much more safe with large bodies of water than he does with flame of any kind. This fear was escalated with vampirism.
- Watching People He Cares For Dying || This fear stems from vampirism, he's extremely afraid of the day that the people he loves eventually pass on.
- Ghosts || Unfortunately he's a phasmophobe of the highest degree.
- Being Alone || He fears the idea of being completely on his own.

| {Secrets} |

When he was first changed, he had little to no control over his actions and accidentally caused the death of a child. He regrets it dearly and hasn't ever spoken of it because of the shame that he feels for what he's done.

+ Ozzie has the general abilities of all vampires.

| {Limitations} |

- The normal vampiric limitations.
- He's very bad at compelling people.

| {Personality} |

♦ Calm ♦ Unreliable ♦ Friendly ♦ Lazy ♦

Osmond is very friendly individual who has an honest love of life and a tendency to take everything with a grain of sand. There's rarely ever a time where he's angry, he seems to keep himself chill in just about every situation. He's not without his frustrations however and whenever those present themselves, he can become somewhat snappy with any surrounding people. He loves the ocean and he has a tendency to tell any listening ear about it. He's very intelligent and sucks up facts like a sponge, if you tell him something then he's very unlikely to forget it.

He has a tendency to become gloomy at times and can even seem to mope about, though this is usually triggered by him wanting to experience more time in the sunlight. He takes his hobbies very seriously and does anything he can to persue them, his collections are especially important to him. He becomes distracted very easily and very quickly, often times losing focus completely on the task at hand. This makes for him being somewhat unreliable at times when he's supposed to complete tasks, not to mention that he's prone to being downright lazy.

His laziness is probably his biggest hurdle in getting anything done and even interferes with him doing things that he likes at times.

| {Place of Origin} |

Key West, Florida.

| {Background} |

Born in Key West, Florida to a pair of eccentric artist types, the boy had an odd childhood. Where most children grew up in households that were neatly kept, he grew up in a tornado of a household. The floor was constantly littered in paintbrushes and charcoal pencils, there was an evident messiness in every room. As a small child, this never bothered him much and he found his parents eccentric nature to be odd but charming. His mother was the type of woman who would sing him songs and let him watch her paint while his father was the type of man who mostly kept to himself but every so often would hang a new painting in his room that made the place look much brighter.

As he grew older, he started to discover that his parents were leaning more on odd than charming which made him want to distance himself. He stopped bringing friends to their messy abode altogether and would avoid introducing his parents to anyone new that he met. He spent his days at the beach, learning to surf and becoming somewhat obsessed with the tide pools. He went as far as going to a marine biology camp at one point and learning all that he could about it. This obsession with the sea lead to him collecting as many books as he could on the subject.

Through his obsession, he pursued study in marine biology. College got him away from home, though he made sure to call his mother and father as often as he could. Before he left, his father jokingly gifted him a necklace with a shark's tooth, he liked it too much not to accept it. He was a model student, taking his study as seriously as he could until he became distracted by a young lady. Her name was Erin and she seemed just as interested in the ocean as he was. They bonded over the information that they shared, even starting to date which lead to many excited calls to his parents.

Erin changed him, it was his choice and a choice that he'd look back on in regret. She made the mistake of leaving him alone for a short period of time and he wandered from his dorm, overwhelmed and swamped in the sounds and smells. The lights made his vision bleary and he couldn't focus with the talk of the students around him. He stumbled through the building in a daze and when Erin finally found him, he was a good four miles away and he had killed a child. Erin tried to guide him away from the scene but he wouldn't stop fretting over it, he couldn't stop thinking of it. They broke up soon after and he left the Keys in a hurry despite his parents worried inquiries. He moved to Salem and he's been there ever since.

| {Extra} |

He doesn't talk about his past if he can help it but he will talk about college and learning marine biology.
His parents and Erin have been helping him financially because he won't get a real job.

@Lionhearted@Alfhedil

For the last few days I've been thinking and have decided, that I am dropping out of this rp. I have quiet a lot going on at the moment and don't I don't want to keep anyone behind, by my lack of being here.

If anyone wants my characters, you're welcome to use them...any way that you like. I don't mind what you do with them.
I am sorry and wish everyone here, good luck with this rp. I might be lurking around and reading where this goes :)
I would also like to thank you for having me here, for the time that I was here.
