[Incoherent grumbling] I had an impromptu road trip last night and am now at work so my post is a bit delayed but I'll have one up tonight


Great, because I was just about to suggest that you be the next one of our little magic-user group to post.
By the way I intended my initial post to play out, Beatrice will have been an uncomfortably close distance to Frank up until Jakob rudely budged in. The boy, as I see it, skirted around us rather than walking right through our group, but he's in basically the same place (albeit a bit further away.)

Poor whisket, with the new GM post up he's been left behind in time. Even when he catches up, he's been excluded from any immediate interaction because of the sudden diversion of the group's attention and pull to the present timeline.

If it makes you feel better, I'll be more than willing to extend the timeline so we can have some minor interaction. #timelapsemodo

Present, my Lord. Distracted, but present.

I started a new job, I'm suddenly involved in several more RPs than I was just last week, all that good stuff. I have a very good start, though. If I can balance all of my other stuff, it won't be too long before I have Noor on here. I wasn't going to start in the bar anyway, so having her meet the group later is no big deal.

(By the way, your avatar and all caps letters really go together. :P I can totally see your unicorn saying WHERE IS THOU)

EDIT: Here's the background (let me know if it's alright). I'm still working on the CS, though.

Just put up another crappy post considering the last IC post was two days ago. Maybe we ought to move the scene forward to another location, perhaps split up the group to the differing murder scenes? There doesn't seem to be too much room for content and creativity right now.

Oh, also, loved the stuff about dragons. Interesting read. :]

Ach, don't wait for me, Draco. I promise, Noor will find the group, no problem.

EDIT: By the way, are you okay with my dragon background?

Yesh, is cool.

Now I should explain something. This RP is going to have two parts. The first part is this story (and I'm willing to play it out at ANY pace you guys need.) And at the end is a large twist. After that, this thread closes and I put up a second interest check covering the state of the world after said twist, and the second plot begins.

That sounds pretty radical.

I can't see a place to fit Riza in comfortably in the current area, which is my own fault, so I'm just gonna wait for a bit and bring her in if I see an opening in the next few posts.

Another rather sub-par post with a little bit of "In-character breaking character."

Well, the Background isn't finished (I still have to explain more about her role in the city, who Boris and Brinnie are, etc.), but this is the idea: She's not exactly a bounty hunter; more like the closest thing to a cop that Blackbury has. She maintains good relationships and healthy rivalries with many of the more well-known and prolific bounty hunters, like Cyrus, but has demonstrated a powerful responsibility to the city over the centuries that goes beyond the "doing this to get by" attitudes of many of the bounty hunters.

She isn't even paid.


(On the right, and yes, her nose is indeed that big. Also, imagine the SIG Sauer instead of that revolver.)

Name:
Noor Dhahabi, “the Constable”

Sex:
Female

Age:
A little under five-thousand years

Race:
Pacted Dragon (Gold)

Background:
“The Sheriff of Blackbury”, or in more recent years, simply “the Constable” has been a fixture of the city since its founding, having come to England around 150 years after the Pact (she originally heard of the country from a Crusader during one of the occupations of Jerusalem, and after a century, decided she could use a change of scenery). Using some of the considerable wealth she had brought from the Holy Land, Noor lived under various assumed identities for a few hundred years, enjoying her life as a human (which was at that point quite new to her). She had never had any love of dangerous vampires, though, and when she heard rumors about the town, she traveled to it and became something of an unofficial member of the resident clan of Slayers: they would provide her with a clandestine source of meat and fruits (though they appear human, these beings internally remain dragons, and their appetites reflect this), and in return, when there was a particularly nasty or powerful vampire around, she would tag along and “draw its fire”, so to speak, allowing the Slayers more of a chance to take it by surprise. Over time, as the order lessened in influence and greater numbers of supernatural beings, including more subtle and intelligent vampires began to call Blackbury their home, Noor found herself with a new job: keeping them all alive.

Noor has seen it all, in five centuries of living in Blackbury and several millennia before, and if she was honest with herself, she’d see that it was starting to get to her. Even nigh-immortal magical beings need rest, but there’s always something, some threat she has to track down, someone she has to kill to keep the humans away from the pitchforks and torches, and no matter how tough her scales are (and by God are they tough), fight after fight with powerful supernaturals is going to take a mental toll. She’s overworked, stressed, and working on her biting cynicism, but dragons are built to endure, and she won’t be seeing her last job anytime soon.

Now, suddenly, there’s something new. Someone is attacking on both sides, and (of course), she and her "crew" are the only ones with the knowhow and the means to stop it. Some part of Noor hopes that maybe, after this job, things might go quiet. Maybe, just maybe, she’ll have a good decade or so to rest… But really, she’s not one for fanciful thoughts.

Weaponry:
At her “station”, Noor maintains a very small (but very modern) arsenal composed of surreptitiously acquired British Armed Forces weapons, such as the SA80 assault rifle, the Benelli M4 combat shotgun, and a single suppressed MAC-10 machine pistol, all with a fair amount of appropriate ammunition (including a very limited supply of silver ammunition, for use against werewolves). At her house, she also keeps many of her older weapons in good condition, just in case.

Over the centuries, Noor has utilized various and sundry personal weapons, including spears and pikes, crossbows, daggers, a heavy battle-axe (a birthday gift from Brinnie), and an impressive variety of guns, from old flintlock rifles to some of the first revolvers, all the way up to her current concealable handgun, the SIG Sauer P250 (chambered in reliable .357 SIG). It is a fairly recent acquisition, but she has centuries of experience in learning the use of new weapons, and has already mastered many of its idiosyncrasies. Though the SIG Sauer’s use in taking down werewolves is limited at best, especially without silver ammo, which is very expensive to produce in large amounts, vampires can be slowed down for a bit and mages, if distracted, can be incapacitated or killed in just a couple of shots, one if she’s lucky. In the end, she mostly carries it for comfort. Finally, when she knows werewolves are about, she slips a large silver dagger into a sheath at the bottom of her coat’s right-hand pocket. Otherwise, it stays in the car.

Other Possessions:
A pretty large collection of ancient and eclectic items from her past, including a small Babylonian idol of her mother and a massive collection of vinyl LPs, some of which are pushing 70 years old at this point. Boris put all of her music on an iPod years ago, but she still much prefers listening to them in their original form, generally only using her iPod in the car.

Theme Song:
SHAFT!

Miscellaneous:
Dragon magic is not like human magic. It is primal, having to do mostly with the fundamental energy in the world. Possible practical uses include tracking the energy of powerful mages, very limited geomancy, and temporarily regaining certain draconic traits (such as powerful vision, or the ability to breathe underwater), among others.
