The Collector

[shi12]

I’m sorry you had to wake up like this, sleeping on the cold ground isn’t very comfortable. You’re probably wondering where you are though and why you’re here. Well that’s simple; you’re in my mansion which will probably be your home sooner or later. It doesn’t have to be though. If you can escape you’re free to go, don’t just try to break out through brute force though. My house doesn’t take that kindly and I don’t want damaged collectibles. Oh that reminds me, if you can’t escape you become mine, that is why I chose you. I wanted another special thing to add to my collection.
Well good luck, I look forward to spending the rest of eternity here with you all.
Signed,
The Collector.

A group of special individuals, people or creatures with unique abilities, all find themselves trapped in the basement. They have no idea where they are or why they are there. On the door at the top of the basement stairs they find this letter and their confusion and worry spreads. The door is surprisingly unlocked.
A key out of the mansion is hidden somewhere, guarded by dangers and fierce creatures/monsters. They aren’t the only monsters there however, seeing as a few of the kidnapped individuals are not human themselves. No-one can just jump out a broken window either, the house is enchanted to repair itself quick enough that trying to escape from said window would result in losing a limb or more. These individuals have to team up to face the challenges of the mansion and find the key to freedom, seeing as the front door is locked from the outside.
In this we’ll all mostly be playing the individuals who were taken, but they aren’t average people either. Each one of them have an ability, though some are inhuman, that caused this Collector to become interested in them. If anyone wants to play a previous collection though please ask, these are the creatures/ people around the mansion who now unwillingly work for The collector.

-If anyone shows interest in being someone who was previously collected I’ll put up a separate CS.
-For now just ONE character each please.

Need to Know Information

The Collector

The Collector is a non-playable character, at the beginning he is just a letter but when he eventually comes in I’ll be working him. This is due to the fact that he shows up too far in for me to make someone wait for; he’s not even in the mansion until that point.
It is unknown if the collector is a he/she or even human.

How we came to reside in the mansion.

The Collector watches us, determines if we’re really worth being a ‘Collectible’. If he decides yes he sends paid henchmen to subdue and deliver the target.
There is no specific way these henchmen subdue their targets.

The Mansion

The mansion is actually alive and it intends to keeps us prisoner. Walls and windows can repair themselves fast enough to keep us inside. Putting an arm through a broken window will most likely result in the loss of said limb. The mansion is also completely conscious, it can hear and see us so planning escapes needs to be done carefully.

The Previously Collected

These are those who did not succeed in escaping in previous collections. They no longer have a free will and are not capable of disobeying the Collector’s orders. Their entire goal is to break our will, keep us busy until the Collector returns to do what he/she has done to everyone else he ever took. They will even go as far as killing, but most likely they will maim and injure or merely capture and hold us.

[WanderingSpirit]

Im interested in this rp, but what are the limits to the Supernatural Abilities thing? Just wondering so I can see what my boundaries are.

[louie221]

Name: Doctor Sharpp (A.K.A Doc)
Age: 40
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Doc Sharpp

(Just pretend the flame is a healing spell/ability)

Personality: A humble man with great instincts. He may not look the part, but odds are he's one of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. That is, unless your on his bad side. Doc is not very skilled with blades, but he is determined to use them, especially since he was taken to the mansion carrying one. He was a medical aid in the military before he learned of his healing abilities.

Fear(s): Loss of Focus, Being Responsible for Death, Not Living Up to Expectations

Ability: With focus and willpower, he can heal any living thing in a matter of minutes
.
Short History: Doc worked in the military for eighteen years as a medical aid until he was taken. He was stationed in a foreign country to make sure the spies were always healthy when they went out for duty. The city in which he was stationed in was filled with market places, and being Doc, he could not resist the temptation of hunger. He entered the market place to find some grub. It all looked much better than the crap they were fed in the military.

He had plenty of cash, so he was excited to be able to spend it for once. He bought several of the many sandwiches they had there and many homemade foods. He had just payed for them when he felt as if he were being watched. He hurried away, heading back to the safe-house. He exited the crowded market place and stalked toward the safe-house which was only a few blocks away from the stores. He glanced behind him to see a hooded figure following him, though making an effort to seem like he was not.

Doc knew that there was a museum on the way, so he climbed the steps and entered. He had not taken the time to read what the museum was about, but he was glad it was free entry. Inside, swords, cannons, and clothes from several different wars were scattered around. He rushed through them, though curiosity got to him a few times. He saw the swords and was immediately pulled in. He could not feel the eyes of the stalker on him any more and decided that it was safe.

Little did he know, that the stalker was right behind him. He turned to walk to a new area of antiques, but ran right into the hooded figure. By military instinct, he reached behind him and grabbed the leather hilt of a sword, holding in front of him.

"Leave me alone!" he shouted, but it did nothing.

The hooded figured said nothing, and reached for another sword, swinging it at Doc. Doc ducked away, hesitantly swing it back to the figure. Without any idea of what happened, his world went black. He heard a few whispers as his vision faded in and out periodically, but could never make out anything. Before he knew it, he awoke in a small basement with a few other people.

Other: Refuses to give his real name to people, so he calls himself Doc Sharpp. Both are fake, but he prefers to keep his identity secret because he knows nobody that The Collector has collected.

[Whirlwind]

Supernatural CS

Elia
Appears to be around early 20s, actually around 800 years old
Female
Water Nymph/Hydriad/Naiad


Personality: Elia is a peaceful being. There was a point in her years where she grew angry after her father’s death and her subsequent kidnapping, where she began drowning anyone who hurt innocent water life in her own judgment. But, killing is not in her nature. And she quickly went back to her calm sense of being. She is a romantic and affectionate, but also passionate and prone to emotional outbursts when pushed too far. She is, in general, caring and kind, calm and serene. She is honest, but with a jealous streak, and not the most modest of girls. She is playful while also dismissing overly immature behavior. Confident, self-reliant, and a bit selfish, she has learned one must take care of themselves and like themselves in order for anyone else to appreciate them.

Fear(s): Being confined, being somewhere without water like a desert, being kidnapped

Ability: Ageless, but not immortal (as long as she is not killed, she remains the same, and heals from non-life threatening wounds in time), Enhanced condition (peak physical and mental condition for her species), Able to become water when water is present (for example, her body can dissolve into water when in a body of water, but not when she’s walking around on dry land with none near), Water Teleportation (when within a body of water, she can teleport to another if connected in some way- could allow her to move through plumbing, etc), Ability to control water when it is present

Short History: Elia was born of a water nymph and a centaur. She grew up in the Mediterranean area of the world, but of course grew bored of being confined to one area of such a vast planet. She has explored various bodies of water in her time, and had quite a few close calls, what with motor boats and fishing nets. She’s always escaped though. Oh, except that one time. She was captured once and held with just enough water to keep her living. It was a terrible experience she never wishes to relive. The man who had caught her had an infatuation with the supernatural and had found her when she was being too careless at a creek near his home. Since then, she’s always been more careful, scared of being without water again. She has many sisters, and her mother is still living though her father is not. She will contact her family now and again, but not regularly.
