Ursa, how's your CS coming along?

[Major Ursa]

Name: Night

Appearance: (No idea for face claim, feel free to give me suggestions)

An imposing height just short of seven feet tall. Wears a shadow formed gnarly black armour, though underneath is simple and comfortable clothing.

Age: Ageless, appears to be in his late twenties-early thirties

Affiliation: Lawful Neutral

Magic Capabilities: Naturally controls darkness, among elements of the night. Owns the stars of the night sky, as well as the rest of them. Capable of turning invisible, and can naturally become one with his night itself, or switch back into his personification humanoid self.

Powers

(A few, but not limited to)
Bite of Darkness – biting a person can make them blind for as long as he likes
Breath of Darkness – breathing a dense fog into an area, he strikes an instinctual fear of the darkness of the night into the hearts of the humans in the area, and increases it by two fold…works till the break of dawn
Touch of the Night – a gentle caress of the eyelids, and a person is bestowed the ability to see into the darkness of the night for that night only

Passive – Aura of Death/Danger

Example of Effects:
-small kids who see him passing through town may feel like they'd be kidnapped or eaten up by animal if they stayed in his presence, normal village women who see him feel like they're in danger of being raped and killed, men feel like they'd be robbed or murdered in cold blood...it's the feeling of a dangerous and uncertain night.
-nocturnal animals would feel comfortable or even at home like within the safe parts of their territory, a vampire would feel perfectly safe around him, black or dark magic user would feel like they were in the presence of a great friend or mentor, some open-minded people would just see a lonely stranger riding along in the night, while fearless travellers would feel him just another traveller. Astronomers or stargazers or the like would see a person of enchanting and mysterious beauty, and even feel a sense of awe, as if watching a procession of a royal. Wanted robbers or murderers feel like they'd have a better chance of escaping if they stay with him...this last one, he takes advantage of, bringing some criminals to Day at the morning light.

Weapons: carries a plain sword, nothing more when it comes to weapons, as he usually warps and augments it with his darkness.

Strengths: Immune to many an ill effect, poisons, venoms…even quite a few magical effects. Absolutely invulnerable during the night. Night is a master of horseback riding, like his other two horsemen friends, he is also skilled in jousting with a lance. A master swordsman, and skilled with a number of bladed weapons. Swift on his feet, he can move soundlessly, smoothly...sneaking or hiding, elementary.

Weaknesses: He become vulnerable to injury during the daylight hours, though he can’t be killed through normal means as he isn’t even originally human.

Relationships:
Death (Godfather Death) – father, the being he was originally a shadow of, a heavily cloaked man who handles the candles of humanity's life span
Baba Yaga – interesting old woman, mentor, the being who gave the horseman their powerful horses
Day – friend and fellow horseman who brings the bright dawn, skilled archer and swordsman
Sun – friend and fellow horseman who brings the noon sun, skilled archer and lancer
Death's Godson (diseased) - (name which will not be mentioned at any given time) only human friend who, due to exposure to Death as his godson, did not see Night as anything more than another human being

Brief Bio: Originally the shadow of Death himself, just separating from him one day...surprisingly enough, Death kept him around as his (super)natural son. After the red rider hatched from a great fiery egg, and the white rider appeared soon after by ___, Sun and Day…he was given the name and role of Night. Sometimes, he just takes on a human form and chills in his darkness he creates till Day takes over for him at dawn, or practises jousting with Sun at dusk. Other times, he just is the darkness, the omnipresent Night.
Being the Night, most humans see him as intimidating, even dangerous, a perfect personification of the darkness he represents and the (super)natural son of Death. He is very close companions with the other two riders, and has only befriended one human to date (his father's godson), though he has also made the acquaintance of Vasilisa during the girl's donor trial by Baba Yaga. Long ago, Night had worked with Baba Yaga as part of many humans’ trials, in order to earn one of her powerful horses. He has a strong sense of justice, and though he unintentionally hides criminals, sometimes he has Day drive them out of his cloak of darkness to face justice in the morning light.

[Major Ursa]

Wow, literally right after you ask, lol.

[YoshiSkittlez]

Sweet, now we just need Belle's CS here and for Ariels CS to be posted to the OOC and then I'll feel comfortable enough in starting the roleplay!

[Major Ursa]

Oh, wait...just found the OoC. I'll post a copy of my CS there.

[Huntress]

Sorry, I'll try to get it up ASAP, just a little busy at the moment.

[reem]

EDIT

[A Rainmaker]

Whoops! Sorry, I was distracted and didn't see that final PM. Posted to OOC.

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

I'm currently thinking of doing a CS for the almond tree boy or Tokoyo from the legend of Yofune-Nushi. Otherwise, I might redo the character I had based on the princess from The Princess and the Pea. The twist for that one is that she's actually a prince under a curse for arrogant behavior, but I might change that a bit.

[YoshiSkittlez]

you're fine Huntress, and since you let me know that you're at least still here I'm going to go ahead and create the first post. No one freak out, you don't have to get up your first post by tonight lol.

And Yami, you just let us know whatever it is that you decide. If you want any help with anything just send me a pm and we can work something out together

[Huntress]

Name: Belle
Appearance:


(Her beast form is about 8 feet tall and bi-pedal, fur and eye colour remain as they are in her human form.)
Age: 22
Affiliation: Good (Everyone has some evil in them)

Magic Capabilities: Belle is cursed. A simple touch or smell of a pale pink rose and she looses all control of herself, turning into the beast.
Weapons: N/A
Strengths: Physically stronger and more durable than most, disease or illness don’t affect her and her senses are keen and sharp.
Weaknesses: Belle is unable to control the beast the lurks within her. Even a glimpse of a pale pink flower frightens her.

Relationships:
Gaston - Her husband (deceased)

Her family still lives but she doesn’t dare to see them. Fearful of what could come from such a reunion.

Bio: The youngest of six and what some might consider the fairest. Belle was born to a merchant father, one of bountiful riches.
Falling in debt her father attempted to pay it off but the young beauty soon took his place. Imprisoned by the man her father was in debt to she ended up becoming his servant. There was an odd sensation when she was within his presence, she enjoyed his company in truth, a kind soul despite the exterior everyone judged him by. Was it love or was it just Belle’s caring heart? Did she simply wish to help the weak man?

Alas love was not what it was in the end. Rejected by him she was told to leave the castle and never return. Her family greeted her with open arms as her life carried on. Eventually the fair Belle found her love, Gaston, the son of a well known huntsman. She married the young man and not only was she happy her family was as well.



Jealousy was in the air the day of her wedding, a curse placed on young Gaston. There in front of everyone’s eyes the young huntsman transformed into a hideous beast. All were terrified, fleeing the day that was meant to be special for the two. He ran off and Belle followed, the bouquet of pale pink roses still in her hand. She knew who Gaston truly was, the terrible creature he had become on the outside would not change her mind. She still loved the man, he was her true love was he not? 



Although he wished not to see his wife, Belle insisted she stayed by Gaston’s side. The night of their wedding and the unfortunate events that took place, the two finally settled. Deep within the forest where they could not be seen. Belle clutched her bouquet tightly as she leaned in to give her love a kiss. There was a small prick followed by a sting as she dropped the bouquet, the kiss was broken as she pulled away. The beast looked at her in sadness, but there, right before her eyes Gaston returned to his human self, as if the curse faded away. She grinned with excitement as they held onto each other tightly.

‘True love can overcome anything.’

If only that were the case. Gaston worried after seeing some blood on Belle’s hand, she told him not to worry, the thorns were simply not cleared off all the flowers properly. Picking up the bouquet she showed him, the worry washing off his face. As the two stood up to walk away together Belle winced in pain, dropping the bouquet she looked upon herself. Her body began to change. She reached out and called to Gaston but the man grew fearful as he watched Belle turn into the monster he once was. Their eyes met in brief before Belle’s humanity disappeared from her eyes.



Gaston was never seen again and Belle stayed sheltered within the forest, alone and away from anyone.

Alright! Thanks for all the Cs's guys! And now that we have an OOC board open and the IC is up and running, I'm officially CLOSING this board.

To those lurkers out there wanting to join, feel free to shoot me a PM or post in the OOC, you can find us here:

[Silver Carrot]

If this thread is still so important, there should be a link to it in the OOC. Just saying.

A lot of people like me don't even come to the interest checks and just sign up to RPs using nothing but the OOC thread.

Anyway, I'm busy over the weekend, so if this still open on monday, I'll probably be joining then.
