Name: Drake Bacardo
Gender: Male
Age (Up to 100): 34

Dragon Appearance:

Human Appearance:

Personality: As a man of wealth who knows how to spend it well, Drake loves nothing more than a good time, whatever that may entail; a party, a fight, a drink, a smoke, a flight to paris for the weekend, a contest involving any of those aforementioned, but this does not mean that he is lackluster or only focuses on the pleasureable parts of life, frequent though they may be. No, while on the outside he is quick with a smile and slow to anger Drake's mind is constantly working, scanning, observing, deducting, theorizing, planning, sometimes even manipulating, in short: constantly at work filing details away for later, should they ever be needed, he especially does this while around humans, whom it is not uncommon for him to be around. Which is not to say that inside or outside Drake is a cold individual, on the contrary, he is actually quite warm and can be protective of his friends, of which he has many (being wealthy generally doesn't hurt that). Drake simply maintains a healthy caution around humans in particular, as they have made it very clear to him and his ancestors what should happen to his race, and many of the other mythical races as well should humans ever find out what really goes on behind the curtain. But something is coming, Drake can feel it in his tail, something that'll change everything, and it worries him, mostly because he doens't know if he can do anything about it.

Breath Power: Fire
Other Abilities: Dragonscale being among the hardiest material known to man, only something made with the specific purpose to kill a dragon can do so, otherwise bullets, blades, tank missiles, nuclear strikes, unless they are specifically dragonslaying weaponry, none of it will do anything. In addition Drake also possesses a large amount of knowledge about a myriad of things, this is due in large part to the fact that the Bacardo dragons figured out a way to pass their conciousness down to the next dragon to be born in the family, so, stored like a great library, the knowledge and wisdom of three past dragon's lives inside Drake's head. Lastly, Drake has, even in human form, enhanced sensory perception, which comes in handy more than one might think, like being able to smell the exact race of Mystical somebody is just by a good whiff of them.

There he is, not the most creative of names, but then nobody's perfect.

Race name: Shinigami

Short blurb about them:

Wall of text

Shinigami, sometimes referred to by their literal translation, gods of death, are a race of extra-dimensional beings who survive by killing humans to extend their own lives. Shinigami hide there true appearances from most, save for the humans who have come in contact with a Death Note. Although some Shinigami do not appear to have limbs capable of holding objects all Shinigami are able to hold and write with a pen in order to use their Death Notes. Shinigami are capable of flight and use wings as a mode of transportation. When their wings are not in use they retract. Each Shinigami has his or her own written language, with some opting for letters and some opting for pictures, all Shinigami can understand the languages of one another. Some Shinigami can also speak, read and write in Earthly languages. Their main goal is to find humans they can take life from and write their name in their death note. Some Shinigami tend to forget to write names down and some actually die because of this. Shinigami can save other humans they care about if that person is about to die. But the purpose of a Shinigami is to end life not give it, any Shinigami who violates this nature will perish. For the most part, Shinigami live a very vague and meaningless existence, they are unsure of what to even do with their existence. The only reason why Shinigami even prolong their own lives by taking the lives of humans is because even Shinigami are afraid to die. Shinigami who die are reduced to dust, and their remaining lifespan is given to the human they saved. Under normal circumstances, a Shinigami will live forever. Shinigami cannot and are not permitted to have sexual relations with humans nor can they have sexual intercourse with each other. They also cannot reproduce. However, Shinigami may have emotions relating to the opposite sex. While Shinigami possess senses of taste similar to those of humans they do not need to eat food. This is because their organs have rotted to the point where they can no longer gain nutrition from what they consume. In addition Shinigami do not need to sleep and will not die from a lack of sleep, Shinigami view sleeping as evidence of laziness. Shinigami can materialize and de-materialize their bodies at will, and are capable of walking through walls and other objects. The only humans that will see this phenomenon are the ones who have touched a Death Note (i.e. only contact with a Death Note will allow you to see a Shinigami). Physical attacks are useless against a Shinigami, therefor attacking one with something such as a gun will have no affect; the bullets will go right through the Shinigami. The main thing all Shinigami have in common is the Death Note. This supernatural notebook allows them to end the lives of humans before their times, adding the human's remaining lifespans to their own. In this manner, a Shinigami can extend their lives indefinitely. To assist in this, their eyes allow them to see the names and remaining lifespans of humans by seeing the faces of their victims. They are able to give Shinigami Eyes to the human they posess, in exchange for half of that humans remaining lifespan (i.e. a human which is supposed to live 40 more years will lose 20 years of their life in order to receive the Shinigami Eyes. The twenty years the human loses are given to the Shinigami that they are making the trade with). Shinigami give this ability to the human by placing their open hand above the humans head. All Shinigami must possess at least one Death Note, a necessity to extend their lives. Should they manage to come across a second it should, at least in principle, be returned to the Shinigami King. When a Death Note is dropped in the Human World, humans who pick up the notebook may use that Death Note to kill others. If a notebook ever reaches the human world and is picked up by a human, the Death Note's Shinigami must accompany the human until the human dies or the Death Note is willingly given back. Shinigami can explain the purpose of the Death Note to the human, but this is done at their discretion. Shinigami have a number of laws that they follow, if a Shinigami breaks a law the Shinigami will face one of nine punishment levels. The severity is least at Level Eight and most at Level One, and a Shinigami will die if anything above Level Three is applied to him or her. Another level more severe than the rest, called the "Extreme Level" also exists. Shinigami may not kill a human in any manner outside of using a Death Note, and doing so merits "Extreme Level" punishment.

Why they fit in this category: Despite their recently gained fame the combination of the obscurity of the Shinigami myth and humans finding the thought of beings who use notebooks to kill people outrageous has left the Shinigami shrouded in disbelief.

Do they (as a whole) wish to reveal themselves (needs justification with Higher Powers): Do to their strict laws the Shinigami know it is important to keep themselves unknown to as many humans as possible.

Battleshovel's character is accepted. =) I want to mention though:

"Although usually perceived to be humanoid unless they choose to reveal their true nature, they are truly a bestial creature and thus don't form romantic relationships with humanoid races or reproduce with them."

So a love for women isn't very likely.

As for the Shinigami, I'm not entirely sure about that. I like the idea but I'm not sure I want this to become a crossover RP. I might have to sit on it for a while.

[MonsieurShade]

Not to be "That guy" Saarebas, but that could potentially become OP rather quickly, especially the bit about being impervious to physical assault and being able to kill people via death note. Granted the latter requires (at least i'm assuming) a human to find the death note, but should they go for the shinigami eyes, what would stop them from just killing off some of the other creatures?

[Saarebas]

Eh it was worth a shot. Any who mind if I try to write something else up?

[Kidd]

I say go for it. I want more people to join so we can RP ASAP, haha

Race name: Fearlings

Short blurb about them: Fearlings are creatures that are made of the nightmares and fears of those around them, most commonly humans. The exact nature on how one of these creatures are brought into the world is shrouded in mystery, though there does seem to be both males and females of the species. Them being both the physical and spiritual manifestation of collected fear they need to generate more of fear to sustain themselves. Mainly through literally scaring their victims to death, though it is said they can keep their needs satisfied without killing. Fearlings are said to live for centuries, they have even claimed to live for thousands of years but it is well known that the species is a very poor source of information as they are notorious liars. Fearlings are known for their masterful form manipulating abilities, the elders of the species being sited to be able to duplicate themselves, as well as their heightened physical powers, their senses being razor sharp and them having inhuman like strength and speed. But the Fearlings more freighting power lies in their comprehension of fear, they perceive fear as an actual physical presence. They have clammed it comes in varies forms ranging from a smell, a taste, a glow or to even a feeling like a tickle or pinch. They use this sense to hunt their targets and use their shapeshifting abilities to torture the fear they need out of the victim. Fearlings are normally seen as monsters do to their dark sense of humor, what they find funny others would find psychotic and sadistic, but this is only because Fearlings are quite literally not able to have normal emotions. Them being made up of the darkest feelings imaginable means they can't experience none of the positive ones such as sympathy, kindness, or love.

Why they fit in this category: Despite their shadowy nature Fearlings are as well known as they are do to the old legend known as the Boogieman. The Boogieman is the term for a Fearling who goes about feeding on children openly in an attempt to break the Disbelief. Their is also the old movie Jeepers Creepers a human made based off his encounter with a Fearling.

Do they (as a whole) wish to reveal themselves: Fearlings don't go out of their way to try to hide or to try to be seen because as they see it "Fear is already a solid belief."
