Well, I get that he doesn't have to be a good guy, the problem is, I like him the way he is but if EVERYONE'S a good guy, and I'm outnumbered, then it's not fun for me, and if I do make a good guy, then he just fades into obscurity as the like main 3 people continue on and leave me behind without acknowledging my character at all. And with the invisibility and jumping things, he might be able to run away. Fake his death? I don't know. I don't have any more time to edit him, because I have to prepare all day tomorrow, then I'm gone.

...hence why my character will have questionable merits. Y'know, unreported childhood and God knows what else he did.

We usually go with bigger bios Dragon, and the story itself seems... cliche... I mean... the characters are not suppose to know exactly what happening in Haven Marine right off the start. I mean with evil and all. They might hear about it when in town of strange events, but saying evil... wellNeeds a bit of clean up

OH I didn't know that, I thought they did know about the evil, but I can change bio tomorrow after school.

[Lugia]

Well, we will wait, I guess... heck, most of the people who posted their app so far have left it a WIP.

[The Fox Without]

Name: Preston Charmer

Gender: Male

Age: 32

Species: Naga

Appearance:

Top half



Wheelchair


Tail coloration

Bio: Preston's family has been well known for some time within the demi-human world as a go between from them to the human world, they had begun centuries before by providing medicines and materials found rarely by humans. This specialized merchandise made for an easy way to make connections within the higher authorities, a supply of metal to one manufacturer, a "miracle" cure for some officials sick daughter, and slowly, over generations, connections and favors needed to make more overt moves into mercantile businesses were easy and plentiful to come by.

Preston's father had been on the precipice of setting up a deal that would make it appear as if they had been bought up by a larger corporation, while in reality it had been a scapegoat company that would controlled in all but name by his father, therefore taking all attention off of their family while allowing the business to grow into a more publicly viewable enterprise. On the night before the deal was to go through, Preston's father had decided take a little "traditional" decadence as a form of celebration. Through heavy use of favors,and more than a sizable "anonymous" donation to the current governor, a convicted murderer found himself suddenly transferred from death row to a swamp seemingly in the middle of no where. He was then that he was informed that he had been given a chance for a hunt, a laugh being the only response got when he asked how he was supposed to hunt without a weapon.

Unfortunately for Preston's father, it seemed that his "hunting" request had been noticed, his body was found by Preston the next day after being absent from the meeting that was to finalize the merger. His body showed the ritualized method of death carried out by hunters, his head cut off and scales flayed from his tail. The death of his father had a radical effect on Preston afterwards who had previously been a known recluse, much as his father had been considered, assumedly due to Preston's reportedly frail health after a case of polio had left him chair bound as an early age. He took over his father's company liquidated all assets soon/ afterwards, starting a new company under the ostentatious name of Oroboros, a security company that quickly became known for it's unusual options in bodyguards.

It employed the usual group of thugs, mercenaries, ex-militaryusually found inn such places. However it's higher paying clients always seemed to be grabbing up the unknowns, guards that offered not only no history off violence, but often no history at all. These "nobodies" were those of the demi-human community trying to integrate with the larger world, and employs everything from heavy set minotaurs to hedge mages and everything in between. All the whole Preston has been taking payment in information almost as much as monetary means, trying to track down the hunters who had taken down his father, training with his employees to ensure that should he ever locate them, he'll be ready to deal with them. He has since then taken out many dens of such hunters,but found none with trophies of his father or information of the man his father had "procured" for his hunt.
Powers/Abilities:
Camouflage: uses earth magic to gather debris and such to blend with the surroundings
Poison: can coat himself or a weapon he is using in a neurotoxin of varying degrees of toxicity, with effects varying from nausea, paralysis, and with many doses , can lead to death if not treated.
With a bit of preparation, he can alter the poison to have other affects in a more mental manner, acting as an amnesiac, truth serum, aphrodisiac, and inhibitor.

Combat and gun training: having spent years heading up a security company, Preston has more than picked up a few things along the way, and certainly knows his way around a gun, testing all products before supplying his employees, believing he should know any weapon he lets someone else hold.
Money: money is power its said, and as such, due to the outrageous prices he can charge for his more special variety of soldier.

Weaknesses:
Control: Preston has a habit of being sure that he has some degree of control over whatever situation he is in, which has led to arrogance and overconfidence, which to those aware make it possible to play on those and can lead him to what they want so long as they can make him think it was his idea.
Ice can severely hamper and hurt him, with even cold weather slowing him down both physically and mentally.

Other: has a love for drink preferring a good whiskey, but more than happy to throw back a few cold ones at any dive.

Well... one issue with that bio... there is no 'supernatural world', in the sense that you're thinking of. There ARE other planes of existence, but each one only contains either demonic creatures, angelic creatures, or the dead. Earthly creatures, such as nagas, live on Earth, hence the classification name.

[The Fox Without]

Ah understood I'll edit then, still had some refining to do to it just wanted tho make sure nothing went too far, thanx for the speedy feed back. Also something I wanted to check on was of I could use earth magic to shift his tail temporally into legs when he has to deal with humans.

[Lugia]

Uh... nope, sorry. I'd rather you use the wheelchair, and that kinda falls under shapeshifting, which only demons (the actual demons, not the entire classification of demonic creatures) and angelic creatures can use (and even then, it's always to a human form).

[The Fox Without]

Fair enough

[Lugia]

I'm guessing you don't mean a literal other world when you say 'demi-human world' and it's more like how a good programmer is 'well known in the programming world' or something, right?

[The Fox Without]

Indeed sorry if that was unclear from the bio. I was wondering seeing as we had a basis for earth magic connecting to poison, could if also replicate the effects of pheromones. Kinda want him to play on people's emotions if I can, and after all poison can can do so much more than kill a person.
Probably gonna leave it as is for the night need to get some sleep,but should be easy to finish now that I got bio out of the way,that's always the hardest part.

Edit: also I must apologize for the repeated tendency to have wrong words on my posts,I'm posting from my phone and the auto correct is notoriously bad on this thing,I will attempt to avoid this as much as possible.

[Lugia]

Well, that second thing isn't a problem for me... I mean, someone here's first language isn't even English... you should have seen him when he was just starting out with this whole RPing thing. He used to spell words weirdly, and used to use the wrong words all the time.

Of course, I'm sure you can't even tell who that was, now.

[ElderF]

Edited my CS. Unsure I'm able to match the eloquence or length of the currently accepted CSs but I hope it'll suffice for now. On another note, I won't mind playing a baddie, but I need to know ultimately what my goal is, unless I follow in the Joker's footsteps and just be an evil person for the sake of being evil.

[Evanist]

I tihnk the app goes a bit too much of the story of the father and how he worked.... Maybe adding a bit of things for your character a bit?

Though if Lugia/Kabling thinks it's ok, I guess it would be acceptable.

[WIP]
Name: Malgorr
Gender: male
Age: 900
Species: Gargoyle
Appearance:
he looks like this when he is stone. when he comes to life then he is a light gray and his eyes glow crimson red.

Bio: (What happened to get your character where they are?)
Powers/Abilities:
super strength
Demonic stare: this power allows Malgorr to emit a torrent of fear out of his eyes to paralyze his enemies. Beings who are strong in courage can resist the technique and it is less effective against demons and divine beings who are more powerful than him.
wall-climbing.
limited flight: Malgorr can fly for about a few hundred feet before he begins to descend back down to earth and if he is carrying something heavy then the distance is lowered even more.
hellfire: Malgorr can create and manipulate infernal fire to attack or repel his enemies. Hellfire unlike regular fire affects the soul instead of the body and can deadly to those that don't have a resistance to it. Hellfire can be used defensively by create intense walls of it to keep beings at bay.
Weaknesses: he has a number of weakness, the first of which is that if he is stays too far away from a church for too long then his powers will start to weaken, and he becomes more vulnerable. Another weakness is that blunt force can be damaging to his body if enough power is applied to it. Water and earth magic can also harm him more so than other kinds of elemental powers.
Other: (Please put whatever you couldn't fit into the other sections here.)

[Savato]

I'm posting a char sooner or later, work has been a bitch to me recently. My sooner or later I mean in a few hours. Now off to jogging. o;

Name: Noctis Voidsong (goes by Darius Blackwood when in human form)
Gender: male
Age: appears to be 25 y/o
Species: Wyvern
Appearance: Darius would seem to most people to be a well-built, albeit lean young adult, standing at 5'8" with short-cropped ebony hair that betrayed a slight tint of red under the sunlight. His face is strong and defined, his angular jaw and neatly shaved stubble accentuating his proud patrician looks. Piercing eyes of the brightest azure gaze out intently from arching eyebrows, not dissimilar from the looks of a raptor as it would gaze from its high perch and view the world below it insouciantly.

Similar to his well groomed human appearance, Noctis would be considered handsome for one of his kind; his lustrous, stygian black scales which uniformly covers the whole length of his sleek body coruscates with an inner fiery red when caught by light whilst his eyes seem to gleam a bright hue of azure, a particularly uncommon trait among wyverns. His wings, although as dark as midnight if seen from above, shows a faint network of ivory and sanguine if seen from below with a trio of short claws protruding from each wrist joint. No horns, barbs or spikes adorn his back or head, a particular characteristic Noctis takes pride in as he considers them to be distastefully ugly. Instead, a series of small nubs festoon his spine all the way to his elegant, spikeless tail. He can be considered to be a rather decent sized specimen, standing at 2 meters tall and close to 6 meters long with a wingspan of nearly 5 meters.

Bio:
Darius Blackwood is the sole up and coming heir of Blackwood Industries, an international organization based in Florida with offices in Ohio, California and New York with various subsidiaries around the world. Blackwood Industries was founded in 1998 by his grandfather, Gerald Blackwood and started off as a small time business that dealt in furniture. However, a series of unfortunate incidents took place that almost left the company bankrupt, which Gerald found out very much later on was due to sabotage from rival companies as well as from betrayal most foul; his various business partners were blackmailed and coerced by his own brother, who had joined a venture with his bitter rival, to abandon him when he needed their help the most. Gerald fell into great despair upon discovery of own brother's treachery and swore vengeance by whatever means necessary.

What happened next, no one knew for sure but the company not only managed to pull through the crisis, but also managed to buy over and eliminate their competitors and rivals in one fell swoop. A day after that, Gerald's brother was found brutally killed, the corpse so badly mauled with such horrible wounds that it took a dental record and a DNA test to verify the identity of the corpse. The police chalked it up as a wild beast attack due to the claw and bite marks, regardless of having found the corpse inside the victim's house with no signs of break in or any signs of wild animals nearby as there were no other evidence that would point to a murder or anything logical at that point, despite Gerald's strong motive for killing his brother. The case went cold as quickly and was considered closed.

But still, rumors abound about whole sordid affair, many whispering in hushed tones behind Gerald's back that he made a deal with the devil. Some even claim that they heard macabre, inhuman cries coming from the Blackwood estate at night whilst others say that they faintly heard flapping noises not unlike those of great winged creatures and felt the rush of wind as they flew by. One woman who profess to be an ex-maid who worked in the Blackwood manor said they she once chanced upon Gerald sitting in one of the lesser used rooms, with several ill-lit candles dotting the floor which had a symbol drawn upon it in a red substance she deduced to be blood, seeing the mangled bodies of several smaller animals piled up in a corner of the room like a bunch of torn-up stuffed toys. She also insists that she heard Gerald chanting in low, monotonous tones which brought a chill down her spine when she heard him and is very much convinced that the master of the house was involved in demon worship or the occult. No one would believe her however, with her known habit of being overly-friendly with the rum bottle and her delusions that came and went with her drunken haze. Yet, the truth of it all was more or less there. It was true that Gerald Blackwood did perform a pact, but it wasn't with a devil. He made a pact with a wyvern, a demonic entity that resembled a dragon. His diary did not state how he came to meet with the wyvern, only of the blood pact that tied both of their families together: every male born into the Blackwood family would be possessed by a wyvern of the Noctis familia upon reaching the age of 12 until death and in return, the Blackwood family would forever be protected by the wyverns of the Noctis familia. As such, the Blackwood family enjoyed a life of great abundance and wealth by sacrificing the freedom of their sons, with Gerald being the first to be possessed, followed by Darius's father and his 2 younger brothers, and once he reached 12, Darius himself. In fact, before he was possessed, Darius had always thought there was something weird about his family, but it was a strangeness that enthralled and excited him. Even when he was young, he always that felt that he was destined for greater things and when the time came for him to be possessed, he accepted the foreign intrusion with open arms.
====
Noctis Voidsong was rather pleased with possessing Darius. They were both proud to the point where it borderlines arrogance, ambitious, vain, fiercely independent, cunning, observant, highly capable and command great leadership skills; all the attributes needed to be a leader, one that Blackwood Industries would need. He had grown up splendidly within Darius even as Darius himself grew to be a magnificent human being. Now at the age of 25, Noctis is very well acquainted with the human world and its workings and is all set to take the world by storm once his father steps down from his position as president of Blackwood Industries. Imagine his horror when his father sent him to a backwater city called Haven Marine to, as his father so succinctly said, 'explore any opportunities that might present themselves as well as to settle any situations that might prove to be a hindrance to the company's well-being'. Except that Noctis actually understood it as what it really was; his father viewed his rising popularity within the company ranks as a danger to his position and unwilling to relinquish his current position so soon, sent him away to a remote branch so as to minimize his influence and power.

Powers/Abilities:
Darius is more or less similar to Noctis, having great eyesight and dexterity as well as speed and quick reflexes. His magical ability is rather limited, unable to create fire, wind or darkness of his own and can only control an existing flame, breeze or shadow.
As with most wyverns, Noctis has excellent eyesight and flight skills, comparable to those of raptors. He also has a slight control over minor wind magics which he uses to great effect when flying. Noctis is also rather resistant to most kinds of toxins, his body being able to store and secrete any toxins consumed. From subcutaneous glands all over his body, Noctis is able to produce a highly flammable, slimy substance that is mildly toxic in nature which can cause hallucinogenic effects when evaporated and breathed in. With the aid of this flammable slime, Noctis is able to produce great explosions of fire by simply using his tail to flick the formed slime at his target before igniting it. If the target is able to resist the fiery explosion, Noctis would then sing, (not with words, mind you, just merely sound) lacing his voice with faint traces of fire, darkness, and wind magic to lull the target into slumber before attacking with fang and claws or escaping. (hallucinogenic vapour + illusion from fire/darkness + wind magic = sleep)

Weaknesses:
Despite having a seemingly well-built body, (he likes to keep his body in shape and takes great care in and pride in it) Darius's body is rather prone to injury, to the point where he would get paper cuts when handling paperwork. The last time he was involved in an accident, a younger kid on a skateboard had knocked into him when his attention was somewhere else and the blow had broke one rib and bruised several others.
As with most creatures of demonic origin, Noctis is vulnerable to ice and holy magic. He is also vulnerable to dehydration and blood loss when he overuses his flammable slime. His body which is built for flight is highly susceptible to damage and would be easily ruined if hit by a strong force. His singing also tends to leave him exposed to danger as it takes some time for his voice and magic to take effect and if the target has a high magic resistance/doesn't breathe/can't hear/a combination of either 3, his life would be endangered. Singing also takes a toll on him, as he cannot draw breath once he starts least he breaks the spell and the target only continues to sleep if he continues to sing, most taking about 20-30 seconds to wake up once he stops singing.

Other: -none so far-

This just-finished app, is.... accepted!

spoilers

Hm... I've got an idea, too... as in, he's not a bad guy, ends up as the leader of our group for a while, finds out about what my character is, and your character will show my character what he is as some sort of way to try to say that he's not alone here, my character has no idea what he's talking about and ends up getting the team to try to beat down the wyvern, thinking that the human is just some hapless citizen (obviously, that's not the case), however, they don't kill either of the two, and eventually, your character will reveal my character's identity... preferably in the middle of a mission, or in the middle of a boss fight.

[ElderF]

@Evanist: The looooong background story I did for the grandfather, father etc was to explain how Noctis managed to possessed Darius, which is I admit, is rather long and drawn out. As I'd loathe to repeat the story, I thought I would just leave it in the CS. As for the short character description, I prefer to let the character express himself in the RP rather than laying out everything which might constrict whatever actions that could/would be taken.

@Lugia: Thanks for the approval.

[Lugia]

Also, did you see the hider part? 'cause I had an idea with this...

[ElderF]

Unsure of what you mean by hider part. Unless you're referring to the accepted apps post where you stored the accepted CS in the minimized windows. And what idea might you have, pray tell?

[Resolve9]

*waves* Tell me what to correct.

...Yes, I drawn my character ._. ...
