Pavel

Species : Human

Sexual Preference : Heterosexual.

Likes : Electronic Music; Steak; Soccer;
Outdoors; Alcohol; Coffee; MMA; Driving.

Dislikes : Complete silence; Being bored; Losing Money from gambling; Dentists & Doctors; Owls; Foxes.

Bio : Pavel had been born in Russia where he we raised until he roughly 16 years of age. Which was when he became noticiblely more mischevious; getting into fights on the soccer pitch, day drinking at school, spiking the teachers morning coffee just to name a few. However when his parents had enough of his actions they had decided to have him go live with his two elder twin brothers along with their uncle.
For the first little bit he had a tough time adjusting to the North American culture which gave him something to focus himself on which may have been the reason that he had toned down the mischievous nature down. He had lived with his brothers and uncle up until the point in time when they had decided to go back to Russia since they had a well thought out idea to open their own business. This was when Pavel had to make the difficult decision of whether to go back to Russia after being in Colorado for the past 6 years or stay in the United States.

As much as he had loved Moscow in Russia, Pavel had decided to stay in the States but to move to a different one. Recently he had been captivated by the electronic music genre and he had researched that New York City has some pretty great clubs. He was really torn between New York and Los Angeles but NY had cooler temperatures that he was more accustomed to. Once he got to New York not really knowing anyone at first he spent a lot of time practicing how to mix awesome beats. He one day hopes to be a producer of EDM but until then he is perfectly happy DJ'ing at Cielo.

Occupation : Club Disk Jockey

Country of Origin : Moscow, Russia

Feelings about meeting their soul mate : The mixed emotions of finding his soulmate leave him torn a little inside. He fears that they won't enjoy the same things or even dislike one of his favorite things to do. He also worries about their taste in music since he is a club DJ. Don't get him wrong he is however excited to find them but ever since the day he noticed the tattoo it had never changed one yet.

@TalijaKey

In terms of abilities, as long as they are plausible for that species it's fine. I just ask that you keep their abilities at a reasonable level.

@Morte Angelis

That is relative XP

But than I will go with enchanted agility and strengths enough to be around twice to three times stronger than a average human.
Going with the weak compared to other dragons Danilo shall be able to breath a steam of fire, but its propositional to his lung capacity. Nothing too fancy.

@TalijaKey

The fox kindly thanks you and watches with adoration

So I'm going to add controlling water (not making it) to my nymph, if we're doing powers. And it's okay.

CS

Name: Keegan Lowry

Age: 34

Gender: Male

Appearance/Looks:

Sandy blonde hair and hazel eyes. Keegan is thick and muscular but not really toned. He stands at 6'3" not including his horns. He also has a long, spiney, black tail.

Species: Demon

Sexual Preference: Bisexual

Likes:
-Beer
-Cards
-Gambling
-Travel
-Music
-Chili Dogs
-Poetry
-Magic

Dislikes:
-High pitched voices
-Angels
-Responsibility
-Churches
-Getting up in the morning
-Audible chewing or smacking
-Wearing socks to bed

Bio: Keegan was born and raised just outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. He lived in a small trailer home with his mother, father and two sisters. Being the oldest sibling with two parents who worked full time there was a lot of responsibility placed on him, but he shouldered it well. He learned to cook, clean and take charge at a young age. His sisters even taught him to braid their hair and help them paint their nails. Though he and his siblings looked deceptively human at a young age (aside from easily hidden tails) their infernal blood was obvious to anyone who spent more than a minute or two around them. The children were intensely focused on any task, game, or interest placed before them, but in a way that a predator stalks prey. This did not stop at other people.

Keegan especially had a way of making others feel uncomfortable at first but he quickly learned to get past this with good social skills and a warm exterior demeanor. A becoming personality could be learned like any other skill and used to his advantage. This did not prevent him from studying and toying with people whom he decided were expendable, though. He wound up hurting, embarrassing and infuriating many of his classmates through out school and was always involved in fights. Despite a fearsome intelligence he never showed interest in his education after elementary school which lead him to flunk out of high school. He would get his G.E.D. instead.

As soon as he left home Keegan fell in with a bad crowd in Vegas. The drugs, violence, sex, money, and risk of the city called to his demonic side in a way he could not ignore. At night he was a bartender. Even later into the night he was a dealer, hired gun, and courier for his new friends and his new boss. He had lost track of what the desert sun looked like. Before long he found himself sick, miserable, addicted to cocaine, with a new girl or boy every night and an eviction notice on his door. But it felt so right. The life he was leading allowed him to not have to think. He didn't have to use his mind if he was constantly in a state of ignorant bliss and pleasure. It awoke something completely carnal and instinctive inside of him. Animalistic. Amazing. But all around him he saw others who had fallen into the same trap. They were peers, friends, coworkers, lovers. Many of them he had dragged down into the abyss with his own hands. They looked like skeletal versions of who they once were. They were no longer interesting to be around, useful, fun, intelligent... Just husks. He began to wonder if he looked like them. He had to.

It was ten years before Keegan finally realized that what he was doing no longer brought him pleasure. He no longer felt anything at all. No joy, no passion, no hate, no anger, no ambition, no love. He sat on a curb outside of a strip club trying to sober up after vomiting and pushed the hair out of his eyes. Casting a glance down at his wrist he frowned. He still had a few years, but it wasn't something he liked to think about. The thought that someone out there was going to run into him someday and change his life made him uncomfortable. Who were they to derail his life or burden him with their existence? What would they think if they met someone as awful as him? It wasn't like they had to accept him. The two of them could just life their lives alone and ignoring each other until one of them bit the dust. The thought drove a stabbing pain through his chest he could not stand. Hopelessness was eating at him.

The next day he was on a bus to New York. He has vowed to never return to Las Vegas again. Though he is far from perfect and still has a habit, or even a hobby maybe, of antagonizing and toying with people he is generally a nice person. He has cleaned up his act and no longer abuses drugs, but he does drink on occasion and he still loves to play poker. He only has one or two friends whom he keeps close and has many many acquaintances. Keegan likes it this way though, as he has a hard time letting people get too close to him due to an innate distrust of others and a fear of what he may be tempted to do to them.

Occupation: Bartender

Country of Origin: Las Vegas U.S.A.

Feelings about meeting their soul mate: Nervous. Keegan is constantly wondering if he will be a disappointment to that little name on his wrist but he would never confess that to anyone. Where he used to be charming and confident, as the day comes nearer and nearer he has turned into a stuttering, awkward, nervous wreck. He is unable to focus and just wants it to be over with.

[SPAssemble]

I got a question about some of the history. Have there always been all of these magical beings around? Have these tattoos always existed on sentient species? Was there some sort of magical awakening when all of this stuff came to world?

Bobby

Hobbies:
-Likes to play sports: Football, Baseball, Wrestling
-Enjoys to read books on the mind, science dissertations, fantasy and science fiction, and historical English literature.
-Also plays video games, usually has some kind of device on him at the time.

Personality: If you were to meet Taylor you would meet a nice well rounded, average, citizen, who likes sports and video games. But under that mask he is a inner voice named Bobby Greenhorn that is ruthless, sadistic, maniacal, lunatic. His inner side is manipulative, intelligent and diabolical. Bobby wants nothing but to crush who ever gets in their and stomp on the competition, he revels in the suffering of others. In an overall synopsis he like to play games with others including Taylor, you can ever know when you have the Taylor or Bobby. Only a select few have seen his dark side and they have never understood it.

Despite his faults, Taylor is quite intelligent. He has a great understanding of the human and most animal and insect physiology. He also knows about plants and flowers, Taylor has a good mind for each of the sciences but has no master in any of them. He likes Mathematics, English and History, but science is his favorite. This all ties into his job as a good lawyer. Most of his success comes from Bobby and his ruthlessness in the court room.

Biography: Taylor was born in a nice southern plantation home. He grew up with Bobby on his shoulder all the time, the dark to his light. He grew up being bullied by others and developed Bobby as a defense mechanism. After about fifth grade they began living in the same conscious. While growing up roles began to take to each. Bobby would lead in the sports department and defending both of them. He would always get the girl or boy, and be a prime leader in any situation. Taylor being the more lighter of the two would get the grades and be an over all book worm. He was the most friendly person of them all and could start a conversation right off the bat.

It was in high school that Taylor discovered his abilities as a witch. He found out that had gifts in an confrontation with some of the usual school bullies. For some reason Bobby was just not there and he got so frustrated that he set a boys arm on fire. Soon after he was arrested for arisen. His mother came to the station and bailed him out. The car ride home was thick with confusion and tension. Upon arriving home they sat in the car for at lest 20 minuets and after that she told him all about their lineage and where their gifts come from. Taylor and Bobby were both amazed at how this could be real and Taylor thought to use his new found skill with care, but Bobby had other ideas.

In their head it is a struggle for power. While Bobby may be the more brutal of the two he is still weaker than Taylor, due to it being Taylor's mind. Taylor is usually the one to summon Taylor out when he needs his skill. This causes conflict in their mind, they have to fight for power over reality and usually Taylor wins, but every once and a while Bobby will come out.

College was no better for the two. Bobby would want to go to a party and Taylor would want to stay in and study. Once they even got into it, it looked like Taylor was having a conversation with himself. After he graduated from Law school, he went on to practice with the DA. Becoming a Jr. District Attorney was no easy task and they had to work together to do it. When the heat was needed in the court room Bobby would appear, but when a more gentle touch was needed Taylor would takeover. When he was offered the position of DA he turned it down. No one for miles could not understand why he would turn down the chance to be the youngest District Attorney in the state, but he simply said he was not ready for it. Now he moved back in with his mother, to help take care of her, and works with a private firm that handles any type of case.

Occupation: Lawyer

Country of Origin: New Orleans, Louisiana U.S.A

Feelings about meeting their soul mate:
Taylor is not worried about his sol mate at the minute. He wants to focus on the real tangible things in his like. Taylor thinks that as long as he takes care of his mother and tries to get promoted by doing well in his cases then his soul mate is the least of his worries. Out of the two Taylor has always been the least emotional, so if his soul mate does pop-up he will just add it to the list of things he has to take care of.

Bobby on the other hand is looking forward to the day that they find their soul mate. He wants to be able to hold them and cherish them forever. Bobby thinks Taylor is a fool for not at least trying to find whoever was made just for them but what can he do. So he waits patiently for the person of their dreams to appear.

@Morte Angelis Do I need a picture, or is a sufficiently detailed text description enough?

Hider

Name : Ashley Daniels

Age : 18

Gender : Female

Appearance/Looks : Ashley is of average height (5' 6"), with a wiry build. She has widish shoulders, narrow hips, a flat chest and rear that makes her look kind of boyish. Almost as if trying to offset this, Ashley wears a lot of make-up, her fingernails are usually painted with crazy patterns, she wears enough eye shadow that sometimes it looks like its unsatisfied with occupying her eyelids and is trying to take over the rest of her face, even evident on her very dark skin, and she wears colorful lipstick that samples from the whole rainbow.

Ashley's face is an oval shape with pronounced cheekbones, full lips, large nose and almond shaped brown eyes. However, these features have not gone untampered with, as aside from make up Ashley also likes piercings. She has one black ring looped through her right nostril, a couple silver studs above her left eyebrow, a stud through her tongue and about three rings on each side going through her ears. She removes these piercings for work, but otherwise wears them when she can. Ashley has astigmatism so she wears a pair of square, thin-rimmed glasses to make up for her occular deficit. Her black hair is long and wild, a fact that Ashley takes advantage of by dying her hair different colors and styling to make look messier than it actually is. Right now she's given herself wild bangs and died the tips blue-green.

Ashley dresses pretty casually, a band t-shirt, some cargo pants, sneakers and a band hoodie is its chilly. If she's dressing up to go out with friends or something, the cargo pants are subbed for tastfully ripped jeans, sneakers for tall black boots with lots of spikes on them, and the hoodie for a brutal leather jacket she found at a thrift shop that she managed to restore to its former glory.

Species : Human

Sexual Preference : Heterosexual

Likes : Heavy Metal, hair dye, Classical History, spicy foods, shitposting on the internet, cheesy 80s flicks

Dislikes : Hot weather, the word "moist," electronic music, fish as living animals but not as a meal, French Canadians

Bio : Ashley was born to upper-middle class parents in Montreal. Her mom Diane worked as a bus driver and her dad John worked as a manager for some paper company. Going from straight finances, only her father really needed to work, but Diane didn't like sitting around the apartment all day, so most of Ashley's childhood was spent with her older half-brother Spencer who was 15 years her elder. Spencer was kind of an a-hole, but he taught Ashley to be her own person. Don't listen to what others say against you, they're just jealous or a prick. Do what you gotta to make it in the world. Also, Spencer liked to smoke a lot of pot while their parents weren't around. Perhaps unwisely, Spencer also taught his baby sister all the best places to hide things in the apartment where neither the landlord nor the parents would find them.

In 7th grade, Ashley got involved with the edgy kids who would listen to bands like Green Day and Linkin Park and think themselves deep. It was here that Ashley first got her first taste of heavy metal. Spencer liked to listen to reggae and her parents listened to 70s rock so it was a rather eye opening experience. Moving into secondary school, the crowd Ashley hung out with matured into the stoner kids who also listened to a lot of metal. Her grades weren't the best, but they were pretty good. It was some pretty good times. However, the year before graduating public school, Ashley's dad was transferred to the American branch of his company in New York City, so her and her parents had to pack up and move to another country (Spencer had long since moved out by now). The first few months in America were pretty weird, but if there were two things she liked about this place more than Motreal, it was that the signs had English big enough to comfortably read it from a distance, and the tv was better. After graduating public school, Ashley decided to take a year off from school and work for a year so she wouldn't have to be so dependent on loans and scholarships. As of right now, she's still living with her parents to save money.

Occupation : Taxi Driver

Country of Origin : Montreal, Canada

Feelings about meeting their soul mate : Ashley actually does her best to not see the tattoo, to the point of covering it up with a bandage. Like, it's cool that everyone has a soul mate and all, but she would rather not ruin the surprise. Getting all excited or anxious about the meeting occuring sounds like you're bound to make a bigger deal out of it than it needs to be. Ashley would rather just go with the flow. Besides, your soulmate doesn't have to be your lover or whatever like a lot of her classmates in highschool thought. What if it's another straight chick and you get to be lifelong friends? Then you'd still need to go out and date people. It's better not knowing for now.

[cedric of trall]

I finished my character sheet its on the first page ^^

[Amaralyn]

@Morte Angelis As in a subject at school (for example: geography) or more general? (For example: sports, or social skills like in my CS)?
Either way I'll add in some of that.
I might actually rewrite her bio and flesh it out a bit; on second glance I think it's a bit low on her actual history and mostly about her personality, which on top of that could be worked out better.
Anyway, I'll start improving her CS as soon as I get home. c:

[Aleranicus]

@Aleranicus

I like it, and will look at it again once you've got the picture up.

Almighty ( I wouldn't really call myself that, I was just going off Aleranicus ) GM was at work and only recently got home after putting gas in the car.

@Morte Angelis

Picture posted for perusal, Almighty GM!

[Brodie]

Ok I'm done@Morte Angelis

[Morte Angelis]

Wow I missed a lot when I went to bed. The storm kept up until midnight so I went to bed. I just posted my character a few minutes ago.

@Red_massa

He certainly sounds like a very interesting guy. I can't wait for the Bio.

@TalijaKey

I approve. Those sound perfectly reasonable!

@DemonTongue

He's definitely going to be a hard nut to crack for the one whose name is on his wrist. He's approved and can go into the character section.

@SPAssemble

In this little verse, beings who aren't human have always been around. People just haven't noticed some of them because they cause phenomena that won't allow us to see them. For example; some nymph's can make themselves invisible in their element. In terms of the tattoo's, some species didn't get them right away, and others got them at the beginning. As for an ' awakening ' it was more of an ' emerging '. When a new species got the soul mate marks, they started to venture out; so there started to be beings around that nobody ( or very few people ) had encountered before.

I hope that explains it enough. If you need more info let me know.

@Mugin

Ah, now I see what you mean. He can go into the Character's tab while I fuss over who to try and pair him with.

@Dragoknighte

A description is enough, and she's approved!

@cedric of trall

I'll go check it out.

@Amaralyn

I meant in terms of a school subject or skill. Let me know if you do rewrite it so I can read it again.

[Morte Angelis]

@Serenia

Water control is perfectly fine.

@cedric of trall

Sven is approved and can go in the Characters tab!

@Aleranicus

GM has seen, liked, and approved of him, so he can go in the Characters tab.

@Mugin

Done with what?

If I missed anyone, let me know.

[Aleranicus]

@Serenia

Water control is perfectly fine.

@cedric of trall

Sven is approved and can go in the Characters tab!

If I missed anyone, let me know.

@Morte Angelis

Thank you, mighty GM! *bows*

[Morte Angelis]

@Aleranicus

Thou art welcome.

P.S. I have a question for everyone. Do you want the soul mate couples announced on this thread, or do you want to be notified of who your match is through PM?

[Dragoknighte]

I would rather PM. Feels more secret.

[Brodie]

Pm sounds like fun

[Amaralyn]

Hm yes, PM sounds good~ It'll be fun trying to find out who the players other than yourself are coupled with~

On a side note, editing my CS will have to wait; today turned out more eventful than I had planned. =_=

[Morte Angelis]

PM it is then. After I put up my second character I'll start conferring with @Serenia
