Blackbury: City of Supernatural

[Draconilian]

OOC
This is an old RP of mine.

There's quite a bit to it, though things are subject to change. However the basic idea is that Vampires, Werewolves, and other supernatural beings exist in hiding from humanity. For the most part, they are well behaved and resist preying on the lowly humans. Those that do are labeled criminals, and tracked and executed by Bounty Hunters. Supernaturals keep this all within their own community, supernaturals who need some extra cash would go to a bounty board hidden throughout the city, take a bill, and find and wipe out the criminal before they break the masquerade to humanity.

The City. (Tourists shot on sight)

Blackbury, Located in the UK, considered by some to be the Mecca of supernatural creatures. It's history goes back to the 1500s, established by a now extinct order of Vampire Slayers, who would perhaps be rolling in their graves if they knew that all the power in the city lies in the hands of their prey. The city is fairly large, nearing almost four million residents, almost ten percent of which are not human. The single largest concentration of Supernaturals on earth. Most come for the sense of community, there are many Supernatural-friendly businesses, and the police are mostly paid under the table by wealthy vampires to ignore unnatural crimes and let the Vigilantes do their work. Not that they are aware, sometimes corruption can protect humanity more than it hurts them.

Races of the World

*Note: Original races is completely allowed, but there are rules.
-No divine or infernal beings (angels/demons) They exist but are not playable for plot reasons
-Must have some horror aspect
-Must be able to blend in with humanity to some degree
-An original race must have a summary posted in the thread or messaged to me in a similar format to the ones below

Vampires

No sparkling

Pale, nearly immortal predators of the night. Synthesized blood has come a long way, and most Vampires can resist the bloodlust well enough. Vampires are born when a human has a significant amount of their blood drained by Vampire from their neck. No other bite will turn. Turning humans is discouraged, but not strictly a crime in the Supernatural community

Strengths.
-Superior strength, speed, and healing, though not as much as Werewolves
-Never age from the point of turning (Though if significantly old when turned, may revert to appearing younger)
-When suffering fatal damage, will revert to ash and can be revived by just a single drop of human blood. Synthesized will not work. Vampiric ash has the uncanny ability to reassemble into a pile if it is scattered, though this takes time.
-Unnaturally charming to humans

Weaknesses.
-Sunlight causes intense burning on exposed skin, will burn the Vampire to ash after a certain amount of exposure, depending on the individual constitution of the Vampire. Can be resisted with heavy clothing and by avoiding strong sunlight.
-If ash remains are permanently separated into two halves, such as by putting it in two different containers, revival would be delayed indefinitely.
-Particularly bright lights of any kind can blind a Vampire temporarily
-Pale skin and red eyes can be a dead giveaway to their nature.
-Holy water either on their bodies or ashen remains will permanently kill them.

Werewolves

*Howling*

Shapeshifters, the ultimate predator, Werewolves are the most common Supernaturals to take up a job bounty hunting. Enhanced senses and perfect human disguise make them adept at tracking and gathering information, provided the full moon isn't out. Lycanthropy is genetic, and passed down from the mother, but also in rare cases contagious. If a significant amount of werewolf DNA gets into a humans body, and doesn't kill them, they may become one as well. Though never as strong as a born Werewolf.

Strengths.
-Incredible senses in either form.
-Enhanced strength, speed, and healing.
-Can shapeshift into an anthropomorphic wolf, making them stronger, faster, and enhancing their senses further
-Often as or more intelligent than the average human.

Weaknesses.
-Tendency towards losing control and becoming monsters of instinct, especially with the lunar phases.
-Full moon nights force transformation. And often temporary insanity
-Wounds caused by silver will heal at or slower than the rate of a normal human. Prolonged contact with silver will corrode their flesh.
-Despite their enhanced healing, a severe enough wound to a vital organ (usually heart or brain) will kill instantly
-average or only slightly more than average human lifespan

Magic-Users

Yer a wizzard 'arry

Every so often, a human is born capable of incredible things. Parting an ocean, healing, predicting the future. These humans are often considered heroes and legends, but the Supernatural community just knows them as Magic-Users. The magic gene is a random mutation all humans are subject to, over time it has become more common, to the point that in the current day, it is hypothesized around a million humans may have it, or more. The only thing known is that if two magic users have a child, the child is guaranteed to be one as well.

Strengths.
-Power only limited by available energy and imagination.
-Longer than average lifespan
-Magical energy is easy to regain, it is the bodies natural energy. It can be boosted with any sort of stimulant drug (Caffeine works well for most, but other drugs such as cocaine can also be used) and is not reduced by depressant drugs.
-Immune to producing addictions to the substances they use to fuel their magic

Weaknesses.
-As fragile as any human
-Overuse of magic causes fatigue and occasionally death
-No sort of magical education, all are basically forced to figure out what they can do on their own
-Typically looked down upon as just "special" humans

Important Locations

Underworld.

The most active Supernatural club in the city. Located in the northern part of Blackbury, Underworld is aptly named, it exists mostly underground, built out of an old gang lair. Every Supernatural in the city is welcome, but humans are unlikely to even find it, much less get in. Underworld has a bar, dance floor, some private rooms, and is multiple information dealers. It is also home to Blackbury's official bounty board, and thus has a reputation as a sort of "second home" f.or supernatural vigilantes. Underworld is operated by Michael, a near five thousand year old Vampire, and one of the most influential men in the city.

The Police Station.

Blackbury's police force is in an interesting spot, while the city officially has a low crime rate, so many Supernatural crimes get swept under the rug that plenty of young people who want to make a difference tend to become officers. Many get disgusted by the rampant corruption, but are usually unable to make a difference. The police station is roughly in the center of the city. From time to time, Supernaturals are arrested and brought in for various reasons, and may have to spend some brief time in a cell before one of the higher ups receives the order and money to let them go.

The story starts on a particularly dark night, where a string of seemingly connected attacks against both humans and supernaturals starts...

This RP is aiming for high casual standards. and the basic genre could be called "Supernatural modern detective thriller" with a healthy heaping of action and some horror.

Name: Cyrus “Cy” Samuels
Appearance:

human form

wolf form

Gender: Male
Age: 24
Race: Werewolf
Biography: Cyrus was born to one of the last traditional werewolf packs in the world, a clan spread through most of Australia. The pack operated somewhat like a mafia, wiping out individuals who threatened their interests and living a life of general luxury, in spite of their lack of morals. Cyrus was raised to hate humanity, consider them as merely prey and incapable of any “wolf-like” virtues such as honor or cunning. As he grew up in the pack, he was taught to fight from a very young age. He was born during a time when there had been a large amount of new pups and so to keep the population down they were to fight in a ring for the amusement of the pack. Being one of the few to make it out of the deathmatches when he was only five years old, he was considered to be a promising young wolf who would do excellent work for the pack.

For the next six years he was taught many things, how to use human made weapons like guns and knives, as well as his natural tools to intimidate, assault, and kill humans as well as some other Supernaturals such as vampires. Despite the wide ranging power of the pack, they had many enemies, and several exiled members as well as Supernatural vigilantes conspired with the police force to wipe them out once and for all. A special forces raid was ultimately decided to break it up, though it was kept very under the table with the Australian government and for the most part the vigilantes did the fighting. Thirty-one Werewolves were killed that day, though the public only knew it as a raid on a crime ring.

Within the chaos, a young Cyrus, using his werewolf cunning, devised a way to survive. Keeping himself in his human form, he took a knife and pinned himself to a wall by the hands, when the vigilantes came in, he claimed to be a human child that the pack had taken captive. Despite knowing something suspicious was up, he was let go and put for adoption. He was a good actor, and lived out the rest of his childhood and teenage years in relative peace. Other than those few full moon nights where he always seemed to go missing.

At 18 he got a letter delivered specifically to him, it was one of the bounty hunters who had been responsible for wrecking his family. Inside it merely said “I know what you are kid, but you've behaved well, I can't believe you are as bad as those who raised you. So go to Blackbury, it's a city in England that's very friendly to our kind, you can find work that suits your... 'talents.' Should you wish.”

Cyrus said goodbye to his foster parents and left for England with what meager money they could scrape up. Immediately upon arrival, he received a very warm welcome, he was invited to come to a certain club, and was offered a job that he would “enjoy.”

Underworld seemed nice enough, the owner was remarkably personable for a Vampire, and even offered to let Cyrus stay in one of the back rooms of the bar while he got on his feet in the new city. Bounty hunting was an exhilarating job that Cyrus came to love. And after 6 years he has become one of the most established hunters of the dark in all of Blackbury.

Personality: Cyrus is, contrary to his upbringing, kind and with a sense of justice. His early experiences forever put him against his own species, he for a long time considered most werewolves to be vicious monsters like his family was, and has only recently come to rectify this attitude. He tries to treat all races with respect and dignity, as well as remaining humble about himself.

Weaponry: Cyrus was trained with all manner of lethal tools but was particularly trained with concealable ones. As a result, he carries knives and handguns. He has a large personal collection of both and all sorts of modifications, as well as connections with black market arms dealers. (Supernaturals skirt the law and can get away with a lot, even gun control laws in England)

Possessions: His own weapon collection, magically enchanted clothes that will remain whole when he shapeshifts, a sizable amount of saved money.

[Blackwolf]

So, just to clarify, you are speaking about were wolves that can walk on two legs right? Because that is my favorite form of werewolf and the most rarely used haha.

[Katelyn]

Interested in playing a female vamp. I'm traveling and will drop a CS tomorrow.

[Seravee]

Alright, I am still interested. Toying with the idea of either a witch or a werewolf.

[Blackwolf]

I know I want to be a werewolf

Name: Adrian Cass
Gender:Male
Age:32
Race:Werewolf

Appearance:

human

wolf

Bio:Adrian was born to a pack with a bit of a savage reputation. Selling themselves as mercenaries they trained new members of there pack from birth, teaching them many combat styles, weapons, how to hunt and track by more then just what there status as werewolves gave them. The pack was also known for "giving in" to the wolf. Vicious hunters and soldiers they did well as a mercenary unit. Though they never technically broke any laws of the supernatural, they did always push the envelope as they walked close to the line often. Adrian was like another in his pack, fiercely loyal and a hardened killer. He had step foot on most battle fields, from the jungles of africa, deserts of the middle east and the frozen waste of Russia, if there was work for a mercenary, he had been there. Though his pacts reputation earned them un wanted attention, mostly from other supernaturals who were just waiting for them to break a law so that they could strike, as well as human hunters who were always after them. It was one of these human hunter groups that finally took them down. One mission was really a trap, set up for the pack they were ambushed, fighting against hunters who had an arsenal of silver it was a massacre one that Adrian barely survived. He had managed to get away, running into the jungle where he hid. The last member of his pack, an omega he cared for only revenge. Slowly hunting down the group of hunters that killed his pack he picked them all off, one by one they fell. It took him nearly 8 years to find and kill them all, though the deed was done and he was left with little, so he drifted around Europe, Asia and Russia for several years before finally taking up residence in Blackbury, mostly working as a bounty hunter. Because of his reluctance to join a pack he is still an omega, a lone wolf who keeps to him self.

PersonalityAdrian is very abrasive to say the least, He is considered a savage among more civilized packs and supernaturals. Though rough around the edges most tend to simply leave him be, as like most animals if you leave him alone he will leave you alone.

Weaponry:If you walked into his apartment you would think you where in a military armory. His walls lined with rifles, P-90s, M16s, M14s, Mk-42, .50 caliber rifles and machine guns. On his person he usually keeps two combat knives, a boot knife, two .45 semi-automatic hand guns. When on a bounty he usually has a more as well depending on the target.

Name:
Henry Trafalgar

Gender:
Male

Age:
18

Race:
Human (wizard)

Biography:

As the child of two wizards Henry was bound to have magical powers, that however did not stop his parents from hiding it. They did everything without magic and didn’t as much as blow the leaves away by messing with the wind. No they lived just as normal people or they did until Henry started to make things happen. They were happy and Henry lived without any knowledge of what he was capable off. That was the moment they knew that if they didn’t teach their kid how to control himself this would get out of hand.

Because you see at the age of 12 Henry started to watch anime, dragon ball z to be right on point and as all children he started to pretend fight with his friends. His mom meant it was adorable and didn’t break it up before she saw a strange small glowing orb in her child’s hands. She ran out and picked up Henry before he got done with his Kamehameha, to Henry’s great disappointment. When she asked Henry how he had learned to do that he just answered “that guy in the anime did it and I practiced really hard and now I can do it” That was the point in time where is parents slowly but surely told him that firing bolts of energy at your friends is not something you should be doing.
Now he is has learned all of his parent’s tricks and magical abilities he is more careful, he thinks much more about his actions. He uses magic to blow the leaves however…. Nobody wants to do that by hand. He has continued to live a sheltered life and has not used his abilities in front of anyone, but that’s all about to change.

Personality:’

He is extremely well mannered and polite. He is not the kind that will step on your toes or say a bad word about you, but that does not mean he likes you. He finds it extremely easy to smile when his whole body is just trembling with the urge to lash out and turn whatever is in front of him to ashes. His hunger for power and knowledge is extreme and he often forgets the time and ends up reading the whole night.

But his life has also made him rather lonely, he is afraid that if he shows someone what he can do they will just call him a freak and run. He hates keeping it all in and now its time to let it all go (best song tie in ever !)

Preferred Weaponry:
Not any weapons to note

Notable Possessions:
The key around his neck
He always has the key with him and holds onto it for dear life. Some even dear to say that the key is what will unlock his past.
