[Jollan]

@Xandrya I'll try to catch up on reading asap and post so you may have something to go off of. He generally keeps to himself, but he won't ignore you. Ill try to post for him soon though

@Ever

Still looking for characters? Sounds like it could be quite fun

[Ever]

@CloseEnough Yes, we can always use more players! Feel free to join in. I think at the moment we have more wolves than vampires so a vampire character would be preferred.

@Ever Hope she's good

Reena Durian

Reena Durian

Character Summary

Name: Reena
Age:17 (Changed at 17)
Species: Vampire
Sexuality:bisexual
Relationship Status: single

Appearance

Height: 5'3
Build: slim
Eyes: grey
Hair:long curly red
Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: has a tattoo of a paw print on her wrist

Reena is a small woman, being in a wheel chair most of her life had caused her grown to be stunted. While she has a very sweet face with soft features, covered in freckles, most would see her as a welcome sight. Her arms have a fair bit of muscle due to work and trying to get around through everyday life. While her hair is what people say are her most striking appearance, thick red hair that curls down her back, only to frame a pair of warm grey eyes. Many would often tease her about being so short though, it was obvious that if she could stand, she'd still have to look up to see most people’s eyes.

Personality

Patiant *Timid *Kind *

Personality: Reena is a sweet thing, growing up in a family that had a wild life sanctuary has caused her to accept the comfort and companionship of animals over humans. She's often been told that she needs to grow a back bone though, shying away and going without just to avoid confrontation. A soft spoken voice and often times being taken advantage of due to her throat locking up whenever she tries to defend herself. Even so, she is still very warm to those around her, offering advice when she can, and not being turned away from a outburst. Her family often worries that her nature would get her into trouble one day, far too trusting, and a little too easy going. She still looks at everything with a more optimist view, thinking that if she is patient enough, anyone could warm up. The only saving grace of her nature is that she has many friends and very few enemies.

History

Reena grew up in a very loving family. The Durian's owning almost 60 acers of land, they turned it into a whildlife scantuary and reabilitation centre, stationed in the high pass. It was a child's dream, every day she would get to see birds of prey, wolves, big cats, even lions tigers and bears that were taken from illegal trading. It was hard work, her mother would show her how to feed them and there was a million ways to punish a unruly child in such a place. Her parents dotted on her as she was a only child, thinking she would take over the trade due to her absolute passion for animals. She took to horse back riding when she was only four years old, and she would often be seen talking to whatever new beast had been taken in.

When she was five years old however, a storm had swept through Washington. Being so high up, the winds seemed to want to sweep her off the ground as the staff was scrambling to get everything secure and move the animals into the barn. Her father has herded her inside their home, giving her the demand to stay with her dog. The house creaked and thunder boomed, drowning out the yelling when Reena remembered that her horse Roxi had not been fed and that she needed to take care of her. With the naive child determination and her rotwhiler's whimpering, Reena pulled on her pink raincoat and marched out into the pestering rain. No one saw her enter the barn to see her beloved mare, as she was dragging over a flake of hay like it was just another day. The wind had taken it's tool on the barn however, pushing and pulling the old beams until the support buckled and the roof caved in on top of them. Roxi had to be put down, and Reena woke up days later, unable to fee her legs.

Life was very hard for the girl after that. Her cheery loud and demanding personality shifted into a reserved and quiet child. Her head down as she would push through the day, her only comfort was the animals that would lick and nuzzle her, it was always enough to bring a smile to her face. But after the death of her horse, she stopped competing, barely able to ride now without being tied down. Still, her parents were determined to give her a better life and got her into music. Anything to give her confidence, and bit by bit, she broke out of her shell, only to fall back into it when faced with a stranger. She still worked the sanctuary as hard as she could, even taking in a large wolf that was caught roaming the area. Most thinking it should be put down due to how wild the beast was, yet she found a fondness for it, always careful enough to not get bitten.

It was in the middle of the night when she wheeled out to go feed that very wolf that things changed. Meat in hand, she was putting it in the slider when she heard the most vicious sounds of crunching bones and tearing hides. Her eyes wide, she tried her best to get away only to be cornered by a team of werewolf hunters. It only took one to be hungry for her to be found by an old man in the middle of nowhere. Her chair a twisted mess back home while Reena herself was alone, scared and confused.

The man wasn't the one who changed her. A doctor who smelled blood and realized that she was unfairly turned only for her sire to run and leave her her crazed wilds. One of the old mares back home drained of blood, while she hid in a hallowed tree in tears, trying to figure out why she was there or how she got there. It took a long time to coax her out, even longer for him to convince her that she could actually stand on her own. Disbelief and awe was what she was met with, for the first time in a decade, she could stand. He took her in right than and there, promising that if she learned how to control herself, she could one day return to her family. Sending someone to gather her things, Reena found herself being shipped off to the night school, and being thrown in a world she never knew existed.

@CloseEnough So the only problems I see is the fact that she should already be able to walk. Once turned her entire body would have healed by the next night. She would also be blood hungry as well, so her parents would be at serious risk of her attacking them from being so thirsty.

Once you change those two things you are good to go!

[CloseEnough]

@Ever

Got it, I thought it was slower regeneration for a second there, like massive injuries could take a few days to a week to heal. Gimme a sec and I'll have it all fixed.

[CloseEnough]

There we go. Changed it so she went on a hunt and found herself in the wilds after killing a few of the sanctuary's animals. And that her adoptive sire had to coax her to realize she could walk.

Approved!

[Joshua Tamashii]

Maybe I should have Amelia go to the kitchen so she can run into Marcus and co.

[Ever]

That would be a wonderful idea. I wanted to get those two characters to meet.

So I think I’ll give everyone a little more time on their current convos and then move us along. I’m currently deciding on whether I want to skip a few days ahead or or skip ahead a month to the full moon. I’ve got exciting plans for the full moon.

[Joshua Tamashii]

@Ever do they have blood lollipops or anything like that for child vampires that might not like the idea of drinking blood as blood and kinda need to trick themselves?

[Ever]

Sure I would go for that! Good idea

[Ejected]

^{I will post tonight.}

[CloseEnough]

@Ejected

I think Diamond and Renna are gonna get along!

[Ever]

Nice replies everyone! I'm going to post tomorrow while I'm at work.

after that I hope to move us on a bit to some exciting stuff =)

[Cleverbird]

Playing through Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines (such a mouthful...) makes me a little sad that this RP doesnt touch upon things like clans, princes, barons, organisations like the Camarilla or the Anarchs, or has fancy blood-fueled powers!

Granted, I dont see Robyn as the kind of person who'd use things like Thaumaturgy to make a person's blood boil and quite literally make them explode like a balloon... But still!

She's totally a Toreador~

Also, skipping this round of posts as there really isnt anything meaningful I can do between Everly and Robyn, besides annoy the little Werewolf even further haha.

[Ever]

Never played that! I thought about going into bloodlines, but wasn't sure if it would be too much. I might be able to weave things into the plot more if you think it would make things interesting or if you have any ideas on it.

Never opposed to adding things!

[Cleverbird]

Oh man, you ought to try the game... It's janky and buggy (unofficial patches help a ton), but it's by far one of the best RPGs out there! I really had to hold back here and not gush over how great the game is haha.

I'd love to incorporate all sorts of things from the Vampire the Masquerade world (or World of Darkness as the series is collectively called, its originally a pen&paper tabletop game), but I dont think this is quite the RP for it.

Still, the idea of the Camarilla is intriguing. A shady sect that enforces the Masquerade, so vampires (and other supernatural shit) never becomes known among humans.

[Ever]

I'm so sorry guys! Work has been kicking my ass since I got my promotion, plus I'm two people down this week so I am working for like 3 people :P This is why I needed a co-Gm.

I will get a post up soon and then move us along. I believe we will be skipping to the full moon, which is about a month after the point we are currently at.

It ok man, you don't rush.
