Oh, wow! There's a few more people since the last time I checked! Can't wait to see what a wide range of Myths we end up with.

Sup dude! Werewolves was one of my favorite rps, or at least had my favorite character I made in it :D

Yeah, it had a great potential. I loved your character, and mine was one of my recent favourites as well ^_^

[Obscene Symphony]

I hate to double post, but will the IC still be going up today?

I really hope so

[NanixErka]

it will. But I want to give a few of the others a little longer to get up their CS

[Slypheed]

Really hope I can get the second character up before we start. As she'll already be living in the house :3

Name: Skye Mooringstar

Age: 27

Skye

(She doesn't have the hat)

Background: Skye is a pure-bred Naga, her ancestry has roots going all the way back to the Naga's origins, and everyone of her ancestors being a Naga. She fears that she will have to break that soon as she has had no luck finding a suitable Naga partner. All of the Nagas she has encountered thus far just wanted to partner up just to have a child. She wants a partner who would be with her for more than just a child. She's seen suitable partners in humans and other myths, but has put off on dating them because she wanted to keep the purity in her bloodline.

But this hasn't stopped her from living as normal a life as she can. She's picked up temporary jobs as a secretary, even after her arrest and release from prison. And is even able to use her secretarial skills outside of work, the skills that are noticed easily and most often are her desires to keep things organized, such as her room, and her ability to communicate with ease.

Personality: Genuine, and motherly. But also protective, almost over-protective. And a bit of clean freak at times

What type of mythical creature are you?
I'm a Naga, and if you don't know what that is, I won't hold it against you. A simple summary is that we are human from the waist up, and snake from the waist down. Although technically you should be calling me a Nagi or Nagini, call me a Naga, as I like it more.

What Crime did you commit?
Saw four teenagers beating up a smaller boy, so I broke the arm and leg of one, broke the ribs of another, and was in the process of breaking both legs of a third when the police arrived. Once I was cuffed the boy walked by me, he seemed terrified of me, but also rather thankful. So I guess the charge was reckless endangerment in the first degree, as it was serious physical harm to one of them. Surprised they didn't give me attempted murder, but I guess I got lucky there.

How long where you in prison?
They gave me the maximum sentence for it, so 7 years.

How long have you lived at The Oasis?
About 5 months. So I've been here for some time now. It's a nice place, and I really don't want to leave. Much better than the apartment I used to live in, and immensely better than the prison cell.

Name
Hapi

Age
18

Background
Hapi first came to the country as a young teen and spent her time roaming from halfway house to halfway house. She found it hard to find places that would accept her, but at least she didn't have a criminal record. And yet wherever she stayed, people would find things going missing. Little things. Random things. Everything from expensive jewelry to cheap metal cutlery. When Hapi inevitably moved on the thefts would stop. Finally a particularly valuable diamond ring went missing, prompting a huge search and, when the authorities turned over Hapi's room they found a veritable trove of pilfered items. The young Harpy was promptly arrested and taken before the courts where she was charged by a Judge with an anti-myth agenda. That she'd had to audacity to steal from good, proper humans warranted, in his opinion, a harsh punishment. What should've been, at most, community service became prison time and when she finally got out, she found only closed doors, that is until she reached The Oasis.

Personality
Hapi isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, in fact it wouldn't be too unkind to say that she's a bit feather brained. However she is, at heart a nice person, if quite a bit clumsy and naive. She is also obsessed with shiny things and has a habit of stealing anything that catches her eye. She doesn't do this for monetary gain but simply to add to her collection of shiny prizes. She also has a habit of speaking in the third person.

What type of mythical creature are you?
"Hapi is a Harpy, of course. Hehehe...he? What was Hapi saying?"

What Crime did you commit?
"Hapi didn't do anything! She was just adding to her collection and the mean people came and stole all her shinies and put her in a cage."

How long where you in prison?
"Hapi was kept in that cage for a whole year!"

How long have you lived at The Oasis?
"Hapi has been at this nest for four months and she hasn't taken any shinies. Promise. Well....maybe a few little shinies..."

[Slypheed]

Was wondering when someone would make a Harpy :3
And maybe a character for Skye to be motherly over? XD Nah, jk (unless you actually want to o 3o)

[Remus]

sorry that the bio doubled

[Remus]

Name: Geoffrey Dirk (also known as Rey or Croweyes)
Age: about 180 but physically he looks about 18
Appearance:

Rey

Standing at 5'11", he has a relatively athletic build and can fight in both his dragon and half-dragon forms. The charm that keeps him from being his true self is a tongue stud and occasionally a golden armband. Unseen in the picture is one scar going from his right shoulder to the bottom of his ribs, and another scar going across his stomach. In his dragon form, he is about 40 feet tall (4 stories) with diamond-shaped plates on his neck, underbelly, and thighs. His hands and feet have large claws and atop his head are five spikes that go from front to back with a small horn on his nose.

Background: Rey comes from a family of very strict parents and a house with many siblings. Often bullied by his older, stronger siblings, he grew up believing that the only way you would get things in the world would be to fight for them. So when he eventually was kicked out by his parents to live on his own, he became distrustful of everyone and especially humans. The prejudice against mythological creatures didn't help either so it wasn't long until the impressionable dragon got into some bad dealings with the wrong crowd which soon landed him in the slammer. Before he went to jail, he often moved around doing odd jobs and street preforming. He had to teach himself how to fight for the most part, which kept him both in and out of trouble. After getting out of jail, he often bounced around from house to house. His aggressive nature and bad temper made it hard for him to find some place to stay. But then he found Oasis.

Personality: Personality-wise he is a brash, aggressive and stubborn guy who doesn't like to be told to do things and does what he wants at his own pace. If anything, the primary word to describe him is cranky. He doesn't listen to anyone unless they've earned his respect. His temper is understandably explosive and he's quick to change form and go on the offensive. Because of how he was raised and the great distrust he has toward humans, he is considerably racist toward them. Though its usually uncommon, once he's made friends with someone he is surprisingly loyal to some extent and rather protective.

What type of mythical creature are you? Well, if you really couldn't tell by the wings and tail, I'm definitely a dragon.

What Crime did you commit? Hmmm, let me see if I remember right. . . I think it was they said "four accounts of arson and money laundering".

How long where you in prison? I was in prison for about 5 years since back then I was considered a "minor". Though, I don't know how you can call me a minor after 100+ years living on this planet.

How long have you lived at The Oasis? So far I've been here almost a year now.

((edit: added some things that I forgot XP ))

[NanixErka]

alright! You are all approved! I'll put up the starter tonight!

[Dragonbud]

I am just about done, I just need to finish the backstory!

Name: Vesta
Age: 21
Appearance:

Whoops big picture

Background: Vesta was born and raised in a tight knit Faun/Satyr community. And as such was raised on deception and trickery. She quickly adopted a quick wit and smooth fingers. Her and the other young Fauns would lead unsuspecting targets into the woods only to rob them blind. And yet she was still raised to be polite and kind. The robbed creatures often deserved such a fate. She grew up on companionship and music, as well as total freedom in the woods.

She was taught always to love and respect nature, so image her rage when she came across a group of men in the woods, planning an industrial site deep in the woods. She cannot remember much about that night, but it involved her breaking into their make-shift compound and destroying everything she could get her hands on.

Personality: By nature fauns are very friendly. Vesta herself doesn't mind suddenly starting a conversation or calling out to someone for far away, even if this attracts attention to herself. Fauns also don't seem to mind what kind of creature you are, if you are kind to her she will make a tight bond with you. Fauns are also fond of all sorts of entertainment from plays and music to jokes and stories. Vesta enjoys the finer things in life, feasting, drinking, pursuing dryads and other attractive females, and having parties. She also has a great love for musical instruments and playing said musical instruments.

She does have her colder side, however. She doesn't care for rude people, or people that she can see being rude to her in the future. She has also been known to get very drunk and get in fights for seemingly no reason. Fauns are also known to be incredibly defensive over nature, defensive enough to become violent.

What type of mythical creature are you?: “I am a Faun, half human and half deer. And no, my mom isn't a deer and my dad isn't a human. That's not how it works”
What Crime did you commit?: “Breaking and entering, destruction of property, assault. That's all I'm telling you.”
How long where you in prison?: “Three years, well make that human years. Time passes for a Faun a little differently. I was released to The Oasis on good behavior.”
Are you looking forward to being at Oasis?: “I guess I am excited...but at the same time I have heard rumors about the place having a ban on alcohol. That might make it worse then prison. I'm sure I'll find a way around that rule.”

[Obscene Symphony]

Maybe we should close the RP now? It's getting full, don't want to overcrowd.

[NanixErka]

yeah. alright.

and you're approved @Dragonbud

CLOSED

I posted up the IC starter. Tried to keep it simple.

[Obscene Symphony]

Oh my god Dragon, I just noticed that Mitch and Vesta are going to be best buds. And Sly, don't be surprised if Mitch tries to high-five Skye saying "Ay, snake people!" XD I cannot wait to start.

EDIT So, are the new tenants going to arrive after the ones that are already there do some establishing? I would assume that a halfway house gets notice when new tenants arrive, so how should we go about this? Are they arriving on a prison bus? I don't know what to expect XD

[NanixErka]

come when you like. And actually, most of the time, you have to find your own way to the halfway house. So all can come individually
