Amam Amasis

Human Form

Mummy Form

Name

Amam Amasis (The Devourer of the Child of the Moon)

Age

2300 Years old (Looks to be in his twenties in human form)

Gender

Male

Species

Mummy

Appearance

In his human form, he is an attractive, pale man with long, white hair and blood-red eyes.
However, his mummy form reveals that he is a sentient, preserved, animated corpse with jagged teeth and one red eye that shines from beneath his wrappings.

Personality

Amam is an arrogant, calculating, know-it-all, who views all of humanity as slaves. They just don't know it. A master manipulator, he will tell you what you want to hear, and then reveal that it was for his own benefit, once he gets away with it.

Can't stand Italians.

Abilities/Skills

Amam is a mummy, which means that as long as his body lasts, he is alive. He uses several ancient rituals to sustain himself, although his greatest magics lie in illusion and manipulation.

- Illusions as mind-affecting and sensory-affecting spells, and Manipulation as compulsion, and emotion manipulation.

- Knows rituals on how to make a mummy, preserve himself, and commune with the dead.

Fights with a Staff of Ra and a Pharaoh's Flail (Both of which function as holy symbols), has a Kopesh as a backup.

Weaknesses

Is a dried corpse, so while his physical strength might be great, he is vulnerable to great amounts of flame. Has a ward that allows him to remain unaffected by small flames, like normal humans, but if the ward is broken, he will go up in an instant.

Brief history/background

Amam was born in the Middle Era of Egypt, where he, like many other mummies, was a priest to the gods. He was once one of the high priests, second in power to only the pharaoh. He became a mummy upon death, and went to Alexandria, to work in the Library, where a great many undead already claimed refuge.

However, the refuge was to last only a little while, for Julius Caesar ordered the XII Legion Fulminata to put Alexandria to the torch, killing many Mummies, Nosferatu, and Liches, as well as a more grievous sin, the wanton destruction of knowledge. Amam escaped to Britannia, where he has lived for hundreds of years.

Anything else: Did I mention he hates Italians?

The Quaela

The Quaela is a community of undead, lead by Amam, which lives in a 15-story complex on top of a popular hotel known as The Queen's Garden, accessible only by a mystical elevator visible only to the supernatural. The fifteen floors are hidden by powerful spells of illusion that either make a viewer not care about the fact that there is an extra fifteen stories to a 30- story builting. Planes and aircraft subconsciously avoid the area, and if they are about to crash into the building, a powerful shield will deflect them.

The Queen's Garden

The Queen's Garden is a popular, five star hotel that is usually staffed by mummies, vampires, and other supernatural and undead creatures, but there are quite a few humans, too. (Usually on the day shift.) The hotel itself is the source of over half of Amam's massive income.

Rooms

The Quaela

The Quaela proper is an extension of the hotel, invisible to non-supernatural beings. There are many rooms, similar to the hotel's rooms, but with notable exceptions, such as coffins buried with gravedirt, sarcophogi, astral foci, and other things to attend to the various undead's needs. There are many ballrooms, dining areas, and various entertainment rooms (libraries, movie viewing areas, internet cafes, and arcades,) as well as service rooms (clothes washing rooms, embalming rooms, blood storage, astral anchors, kitchens, etc.) The largest room is a main hall leading from the elevator that connects most of the first two floors, where most of the residents socialize, and meet/examine newcomers.

Main Hall

The top five floors are Amam's own private sanctum; although others are allowed in by request, invitation, and appointment. There are many rooms that hold Amam's many collected treasures (under heavy lock and key, and guarded by magical Anubis statues,) as well as his massive library. The third- and second- highest floors are such vaults and libraries, while the fifth- and fourth-highest are a reception area, and observation deck for visitors. The top floor is a combination observatory and library, and almost no one is allowed in, and this is reinforced by modern security systems, powerful magic, and more Anubis statues.

The Three Laws of Amam

1- Do not question Amam while in the Quaela. You are ALLOWED to stay here. Remember that.

2- Do not bring any undue attention to the Quaela. The balance between you being discovered and remaining hidden depends on it.

3- Do not fight inside the Quaela. The Quaela is a safe space for us. You come to escape conflict, so do not create it.

Dante

Appearance

Phoenix Form

D A N T E F E L I X

Age: 80 (Looks 18)

Gender: Male

Species: Phoenix

Personality: He tend to not trust others, not wanting to risk his life for another. He’s very fond of his eyesight, depending on it constantly to seek out enemies or allies, therefore he tries to play it safe, keeping out of trouble and laying low. He is also a quiet sort of person, preferring to keep his thoughts himself.

Abilities/Skills: He can turn into a phoenix and back into his human form. Phoenix’s have enhanced senses with fast regeneration and their tears can heal. They also can self-resurrect themselves.

Weaknesses: His memories of the past are fragmented and fragile, and his eyesight also deteriorates with each resurrection. However, unlike the other phoenix’s his eyesight is deteriorating at a faster rate than the others.

Brief history/background: Dante has already lived through two lifetimes, which is pretty little to the average phoenix. He had revived only twice through the ashes and he tends to confuse some memories from his past life. His vision is already becoming slightly blurry, causing him to wear glasses now. He has to be careful now, because the next time he resurrects, he may become completely blind.

CS

Name:
Ben Way

Age:
23

Gender:
Male

Species:
Human

Appearance:
At a brief glance Ben is a Dag(Aussie term see below for definition, plays into personality as well). Most of his clothes come from before he left home 6 years ago and constantly has messy unkempt, rarely cut hair.
He is a wiry man with Pianists fingers.

Dag - “Someone who is, or is perceived to be, unfashionable, lacking self-consciousness about their appearance and with poor social skills yet affable and amusing.”

Personality:
Once again, Ben is a Dag(See above), don’t get him started on his fixations or he’ll expect you to listen for half an hour and know the jargon to boot. Curious by nature but will be quiet and reserved(even when wanting to ask something) about topics he doesn't know.

His biggest fascination is Magic and the creatures that come with.

Recently(See Abilities/Weaknesses and History for reasons why) he has not been himself as much and will occasionally have an angry burst which he immediately regrets.

Abilities/Skills:
Professional Skills
Enchanter(Focus on Enchanting turn of the late 19th century and early 20th century firearms/ammunition)
Firearm Training
Mechanical Engineer(Firearms)

Demonic Abilities
There’s a Demon's Aspect rattling around in Ben’s head and can lend its powers now and then.
Photographic Memory - Which also leads to a vast Library of Knowledge
Can heal slightly quicker from non fatal wounds(Weeks become days kinda ballpark)
Resistance to Fire and Poisons
Slight Strength Increase(Enough to be noticeable, but not inhuman.)

Weaknesses:
Any normal Human weaknesses, (bar the resistances listed above should the demon be lending its powers today)

There's an Aspect of a Demon in his head and wants to take over his body by tempting Ben to commit soul corrupting acts.(Their relationship could be described as friendly if Ben didn't despise the creature.) (I am going to RP the demon somewhat but if as OP you think it might cool to do something with the demon as it is my weakness, let me know.)

Because of the Demon's presence, Ben can’t enter sacred grounds such as Churches for protection.

His Family (A weakness for varying reasons both his strained relationship and the fact that their lives mean something to him)
Father: Irvin
Mother: Mabel
Brother: David
Sister: Nadia

Brief history/background:
Ben Way is a Descendant of the famous Norse Blacksmith, Wayland the Smith. For generations his family have been weapon smiths who have also enchanted their weapons. Ben is the Black Sheep of the family and broke tradition by studying Firearms rather than Melee Weapons.

Whilst pursuing various enchanting artefacts Ben came in contact with a demonic relic which upon studying allowed a aspect/projection of a demon to enter his mind. The Demon is known as Haagenti, Research revealed that he was a President of hell who made Men Wise, and a bit of an alchemist. How he ended up in the relic is beyond Ben’s knowledge.

Ben has searched for a way high and low to rid himself of this demon. It seems only one great act of sacrifice and faith could possibly free him. Something Ben hasn't exactly wanted to do, or been given the opportunity to do.

Vaughtar

Name

Vaughtar

Age

230

Gender

Male

Species

Gargoyle

Appearance

Bypassers commonly interpret him as an untreated case of giantism, combined with a personal preference for bodybuilding. He stands more than 8', has extremely thick bones and no less prominent muscles. He appears dark and pale, including his eyes. The only hair on his body is a goatee long enough to dangle from his chin. There's a pair of leathery wings on his back that can be folded together to a compact limb that he hides beneath a cloak.

Personality

Though he looks very intimidating, his behaviour is dominated by non-hostility. Violence is not an option for him unless he feels threatened. Within the supernatural community he is rather outspoken, but to all others he appears as a silent behemoth. He makes a secret of where he exactly lives - that information could easily cost him his life if anyone malicious came to know it.

Skills/Abilites

Vaughtar can read, write and do basic math, but aside from that and the historical knowledge about the country he has been living in for more than two centuries, he's pretty uneducated and untrained. However this should not be confused with a lack of intelligence. It's a matter of access to that education. The strength he has to rely on is..well.. his physical strength that surpasses that of a human being by far and the ability to take a very serious amount of punishment before running into problems. He can carry another person with him into the air (as long as not too heavy). He has improved eyesight, including nightvision.

Weaknesses

He moves sluggishly (especially on his feet) and one can't expect him to fight in an agile, evasive or even sneaky way. His size and extreme weight simply don't allow him to do so and there's not much he can do about it. He needs to regenerate as humans do, however a gargoyle's equivalent to having a nice slumber in a bed is to turn from flesh to stone the moment the sun rises above the horizon - no matter if he can actually see it or not. As humans can delay falling asleep, he can delay that transformation, but doing so weakens him continuously until the next sunrise simply forces him to give way to the urge. Although he is a magical creature to the core, he is not able to actively cast any spell.

Brief history/background

Vaughtar was created by an unknown chiseller during the so called gothic revival in the late 18th century. Most scholars think that gargoyles are the result of a specific type of magical anomaly - that yet is very little known about - attaching itself to those large blocks of stone meant to look like intimidating fantasy creatures. Others think that the chisellers themselves applied the magic. There is simply not enough evidence to confirm any of those theories. Since the gothic era and its renewals have ended a long time ago, the birth rate has virtually dropped to zero. Vaughtar himself has never met the one that carved him, so he can't tell either.
For about the last two centuries, it was rather easy for him to hide, but a growing population, massively increased city illumination, shrinking retreat areas and the ubiquitous presence of cameras forced him to switch strategy. Today he works as a bouncer for a rather prominent discotheque on the outskirts of London.

Dal the Sylvan Treant

Name:
Daleemalendria
Age:
297, in her human form she appears about 28.
Gender:
Female
Species:
Sylvan Treant
Appearance:

Her human form always seems to have far to much green tint to it, usually it is the hair and lips, so she tries to break it up with garnish colours in her clothing. Her hair is always long with light curls that sometimes move about when she is in distress. Around 37 years ago pair of young lovers carved their initials into her bark with a heart around it, this is always present on her left side regardless of her form.

Her tree form, immobile and ever watching.

Personality:
Dal is a slow thinker, she won't make sudden decisions or rash actions. In a fight she'll be the one at the back watching everything before doing making a move. It will take a long time to make friends with her (and same if your her enemy) but once done, your that for life and it will be almost impossible for her to change her mind over anything once she has decided something.

Abilities/Skills:
Slow Regeneration: Her injuries will heal over time, so long as she gets plenty of water, sunligh and mulch.
Anaerobic Exercise: She can effectively function withour breathing for a prolonged ammount of time, it is uncomfortable and makes her molt if over 30 mins.
Strong: Nearly 300 years old, all that good living has made for some very strong roots and bark.
Weaknesses:
Fire: Though as a living tree she will burn with very heavy smoke, any fire damage will not heal.
Lightning/Electric: Small ammounts will hurt immensely, one lightning bolt will kill her outright.
Water: She needs daily doses of water to stay alive, after a day or two she will start to wilt.

Brief history/background:
Sevenoakes was that until 4 of the great trees came down in a storm like no other. There was a storm, but that wasn't what destroyed the trees. One was Dal, she watched that night with her family when the van pulled up with strange equipement and cable and strapped them to (the closest term would be father in human conparisons) and the four people, all clad in dark clothes, started taking readings and probing the great tree.

As the storm build up in the early hours, one of them climbed up the great oak and added long metal poles to the cables. That was when in horror the storm fully struck and lightning completely the old oak.

In the blast of electrity and flying wood, Dal and her two (again the closest term would be siblings) fellow trees, transformed and fled. She has no idea where Tuxemondeimus and Galframadium have gone or if they are still alive, but all three of them left a little part of themselves in that ruin leaving just the three remaining trees standing.

Dal has never been back since to visit the remaining trees, but she hopes to one day find those responsible.

After finally reaching the urban city of London, Dal struggled to find anywhere that felt even a little remotely safe. She mostly kept to the back alleys and slightly more seedier areas of the city, until after more luck than searching, she came across a delightful summer glade full of brightly coloured ribbons, wild flowers and delicate furniture. She stood there taking in all the sights of the hidden glade for a few hours, not really noticing the busy bee that was making adjustments and flitting around her. Dal couldn't help it, after days of wandering and the pleasantness of the glade, she stood still and took root. Finally turning the lithe figure decorating the area she asked "Can I help put you ribbon up?" and took a brightly coloured ribbon into her hand before gracefully raised to her full height as as an oak.

Anything else:
Salt Water: unsure wether to add this as a weakness or leave it as a special case. My idea is have it act a little like alcohol, though in Dal's case she will probably start acting psychotic.
Taking Roots: She is nearly 300, in almost eevry case the treants will take root hardly ever moving again. She does want to settle down but needs to find a safe location first. The only thing keeping her wandering is her search for the tree killers.

Steffan Gilbert III

Name: Steffan Gilbert III
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Species: Human (medium)
Appearance:

Steffan with Tony before he passed on.
Personality: He is completely insane to the average person meeting him. As well as being very easily distracted, his attention span can be measured in nano-seconds (see abilites.) He is very quiet when speaking but always seems to be talking to himself. Jittery with his gaze constantly roving in all and any direction.

Abilities/Skills:
Dead Speaker: Any spirits that are about can talk and understand Stefan. This is constantly "on" and makes for a nightmare if anybody is trying to communicate with him.
Dead Friendly: His entourage have been around for all his his life (some more recently) but they all realise that without Steffan about they can't communicate to the world at large. That said they mostly keep their voices low when he sleeps (even doing their best to keep other spirits away) and are very loud to wake him if there is trouble.
Dead Sight: Literally he can see people. The spirits he speaks to have a non-corperal form he can view. Usually they are dressed in whatever atire they had at time of death.
Holidays of the Dead: Any holiday or funeral distracts the spirits, Steffan becomes almost normal except for the few spirits that constantly follow him, even they are distracted. All Hallows Eve, Halloween and Remembrance count as well as anything the country as a whole mourns. The shear scope of the country's mourning/participation plays havoc with spirits.

Weaknesses:
Speak Dead: He is always talking to the dead and any conversation will involve them, making him seem to constantly talk himself.
Friendly Dead: Word quickly spreads when Steffan moves about, the dead seem to want to have their say to Steffan wether he wants it or not.
See Dead: Everytime he speaks to the dead, he will look at them or even turn to face them
Graveyards: it's not that he fears churches of any type, it's just where they lay the dead to rest. The number of spirits present simply overwhelm him, it's so bad bad he fears to go near burial sites.

Brief history/background: Born into a wealthy family, he ability to speak to the dead and see them came at birth. He isn't even sure if it's a gift, a curse or just something that happens every generation or two. His parents took steps when his "imaginary friends" refused to go away. They disowned him, put him up for adoption and adopted another to take his place. his life was hard, always passed around as a problem child and eventually just life home. The few places of employment he had did not last long, and the lack of cash in the end made him homeless. He has a few friends that stick him, the only ones that actually breath are Ben and Phil, two homeless drunks that at least give him some comfort.

A number of spirits are always in his entourage. These restless dead have not found peace as yet.
Bloody Mary: She doesn't remember her real name, burnt as a witch in 1487, she seems to be a schizophrentic.
Tony: Sadly this homeless drunk passed away six months ago, he still doesn't realise he is dead yet.
Steffan Gilbert II: His grandfather, passed away 18 years ago.
Anything else: Every post this character will do will have a hider text at the end. This will show the real conversation Steffan has with any spirits around him.
Steffan doesn't get the living dead at all. He communicates with these creatures (even though they are not actually spirits) but fails to realise they are material and everyone else can see them.

Lars

Demon Form

With Black Wings

Name:
Lars Winter

Age:
17

Gender:
Male

Species:
Sin Demon

Personality:
Lars is the average teenage boy growing up in a human world. He has a curious mind and is not afraid to get out and go find answers. He often has a "angle and demon on each shoulder" Kind of attitude when it comes down to making decisions. Most things in life are black and white to him and they grey area is almost non-existent. He is not easily upset and confrontation is not his thing either. Not afraid to make a friend, Lars is not a social butterfly but once you get to know him most like him.

Abilities/Skills: Demonic Magics
Demonic Magic
-Curses: Lars can cast 2 different kinds of curses on people; binding curses that trap people in certain areas or bind them to certain objects, and curses that affect the mind (making someone feel a certain emotion to a maximum extent or have them fall in and out of memories and see things that are not real). His curse only last for a maximum of 3 minuets and can be broken before that if he is disturbed mentally or physically. Also each curse drains his overall energy, making him tired in each form.
-Pain: Lars can inflict pain on anything he touches with his hands.
-Sins: Lars can feed and embody the different sins of man. Each sin makes him take a different form and attitude. For example when he feeds off of the sin of wrath he gets more aggressive and he acts more "bull headed".

Weaknesses:
In his regular form he is not super-powered or strong. The only abilities he has are his magical ones and faster healing capabilities. He is also more fragile in this form; he can be captured easier and most magics work on him. His powers are also an issue. Whenever he uses them there is some kind of repercussion on his body, whether is be fatigue, pain, or loss of function in some areas (like arms, legs, even some organs). Also due to divine laws he can only stay in his demonic form for a short period of time and after he transforms he needs rest for at least a day.

Personality:
Lars is a bland little boy. If he was a color it would be grey, simple and one track minded most does not get to him. He is open to change but hates surprises. Also most things that others would get goes over his head very easy. He does not understand most jokes and sarcasm is not one of his friends. Lars is an amazing optimist though. Despite his literal nature he is good at seeing a bright side to every situation.

Brief history/background:
Lars is a young demon born and raised in a divided household. His father is a demon of punishment and his mother was a witch. She summoned his father for the simple purpose of having a child in exchange for her soul in marriage. The deal was sealed and Lars was conceived. When he was born, he was raised by his mother during the regular months but for holidays he would spend that time in hell with his father. Lars' mother taught him what she could about magic and his father taught him what it meant to be a demon. He grew up having two different out looks on life and understanding that choice was one of the most powerful things on the planet. When Lars started middle school he started to make some bad choices, he would pull pranks, corrupt the minds of others and misuse his gifts. His father was thrilled at the thought of an evil son, but his mother was disappointed in her son. So, she bound her son's his mortal body on earth and limited his powers. Lars father was outraged and came to earth to collect the debt his "wife" owed. Now they live in London as one big happy family; his mother constantly being tortured, for the key to the seal on Lars' powers, in the basement, while his father sits there and laughs at her pain filled screams.

Age: 20
Gender: Male
Species: Were-Corgi
Appearance:

Corgi Form

Yes he has the tie on too as a corgi

Personality: Sven is a happy go lucky kind of person. He loves to play with others and often even acts like a dog when around others. He has been known to sprout ears when he becomes extremely excited. The ear sprouting never happens in public for the most part, but when he’s alone with people he knows it has happened. Sven believes that everyone in the world exists to please him. When they don’t he see’s it as a challenge and keeps being around them until they find some way to make him happy. Often by watching them trip or fall on their face pleases him enough to leave them alone.
Underneath that happy exterior however is a rather conniving young man. He’s always gotten what he wants. Those who have seen him angry are either too traumatized to talk about it, or haven’t survived to escape him.
Abilities/Skills: Sven is extremely smart when it comes to hatching a plan.
He believes is unmatched when it comes to coming up with tactical maneuvers.
He is also rather quick in his corgi form, along with having heightened senses. Due to his small size of being a corgi he is also extremely hard to catch.
Weaknesses: Silver, Belly rubs.
Brief history/background: Sven was born into a rather rich family of secret guards for the queen. As of late they have not been used as much and as such have found themselves going into their own stock market business. Sven has helped out where he can but for the most part he has occupied himself with chasing women that he believes should belong to him.
At the age of 19 his parents called him out on his actions of chasing women around, Sven reacted by moving out and starting his own loan business, it has become known as “Loan Goblins.” Sven runs his business quite successfully, and those that can’t afford to pay back the loans end up having to pay it off either by working for it at his own company, or selling their own home.
Anything else: He believes himself as the most adorable of the were creatures.
