Nope, new people new town. Some made up place with the correct longitude and latitude. I don't want to spoil the ending but the gang splits at the end of the third book to look for other Midnighters. Which is what gave me the idea for this group play.

@The Omnipotent Sphere
That would be very kind of you thanks!
@Resonance
Here's the link to the Wiki Page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnighters_tril.. As long as you have a basic understanding, I don't mind. ^-^

I'm hoping to start a small group RP, but am a little hesitant to do so. They've never seemed to work out in the past. And, I've decided to be a little stricter as to who can join. I will be requesting a small sample of writing with your character sheet. You will be PM'd if you've been accepted.
But! That information above is clearly not what you've come here to read is it?
While the plot isn't too developed at the moment, it is loosely based off Scott Westerfeld's novels The Midnighters. Excellent novels that I've read over and over again and am currently in the process of doing so again and it sparked a craving for a RP based off the novels. Not with the original characters, though it is possible they will make small appearances. If you don't wish to be a Midnighter and would rather play as Darkling that has tangible thoughts and higher intelligence please feel free to do so! However, at least some knowledge of the books is a must!
SO! With that in mind I'm looking for at least four other people to join. However there is a potential for more, so if you're very inclined to play but wish to make up your own power please submit, if it's good enough I might just take it, though I'd rather see the required spaces taken first. I'm also looking for a potential Admin of sorts to help pick up the slack when I cannot govern the group myself and help make big plot decisions, PM me if interested in that position. Two heads are better than one after all!
SEEKING:
~ Acrobat
~ Seer
~ Polymath
~ Fire Bringer
~ Metallurge
Acrobats in the Secret Hour are not held down by gravity the same as during the rest of the day. Seemingly always floating, and able to jump or "fly" fair distances. Like all Midnighters their eyes are photosensitive in the Daylight and reflect back indigo in the secret hour. They also must eat almost constantly and while in the Secret Hour can share their ability with others through skin to skin contact.
Seers are the Lore keepers. While blind as bats in the Daylight, they know where Darklings or Slithers have been since they leave a sharp, clear "focused" slime like trail or print. They are also photosensitive and like all other Midnighters their eyes flash indigo. They can read and write in the ancient symbols used by Midnighters for thousands of years. Seers can also pick out Midnighters during the Daylight hours claiming their faces being fuzzy with their glasses on and clear when off.
Polymaths are literal math geniuses. Often with a photographic memory towards numbers (especially 13 and it's multiples) patterns. They often create they best weapons against Darklings. Like all Midnighters they are photosensitive and flash indigo in the Secret Hour. Their power never shuts off, often dreaming in numbers or images.
Flame or Fire Bringers are Darklings worst nightmares. They have the ability to bring things like fire and modern day technology into the Secret Hour. While they can kick some serious Darkling ass, they are just like a regular Daylighter and have no adverse affects from being a Midnighter other than the fact that all Darklings want to kill them.
Metallurges are people who have the ability to find precious stones, metals, minerals, oil, water and probably natural gas in the earth. Like the other Midnighters they are photosensitive and their eyes flash indigo in the Secret Hour.
Mindcasters are basically mindreaders. Manipulators and Darkling Radars. They can force (ahem I mean) "suggest" a person to do something miles away. Wipe someones memory and when in full control of their skill can pass information on through a touch. They can sense who is and who isn't a Midnighter and have been known to recruit Midnighters from all across the country. They are often darker in nature, feeling most a home in the Secret hour and a fairly rare occurrence not as rare as a Fire Bringer but close. They are most like the Darklings than any other Midnighter. Very photosensitive and their eyes flash indigo.
A few rules/suggestions before I post the character sheet that I'd like to see:
~ All characters must be over the age of eighteen. I'd prefer no younger than twenty.
~ At least one paragraph for your application's writing sample.
~ You may use pictures, as long as they're not anime
~ You may have more than one character, Midnighter or Darkling just please fill up the required spaces first.
~ Please post finished Character Sheets here and once accepted please move them to the "Characters" section of the Play

Midnighter Character Sheet:
Name: Aslynne Marie Hawthorne (A.K.A Az or Azzy)
Age: 25
Height: 4’10” (147cm or 1.47m)
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Occupation: Stable Owner and Manager, Trainer and Instructor at Windstar Stables
Personal Interests: Reading, Horses, Equestrian Sports of all kinds and kicking Darkling ass
Fears: Loss of control over her abilities, physical touch, large crowds, fire and hospitals
Power: Mindcaster
Misc. Info: Aslynne must almost always have to have music in her ears while in large crowds due to the constant “mind babble” from Daylighters, she loves animals because touching them doesn’t bring or cause pain to others. She’s still in the process of learning to control her rather difficult abilities while trying to balance a normal life. She cannot date or be intimate thanks to her fear of touch. Daylighters wouldn’t understand and she’s sure no Midnighter would want to take the time or risk their mental health at trying to be with her. She wears long sleeves and gloves no matter the season to prevent accidental touching.
Sample:
Asylnne’s pale blue eyes stared up at her ceiling, the odd and eerie color of the Secret Hour painting the white tiles blue, her purple bedroom walls made black, the clock frozen at midnight, her sheer curtains stuck in the middle of a billowing breeze. She’d have to change the thumbtacks on the window sill soon. All thirteen of them were probably starting wear and she didn’t want any slithers coming in. This was after all the only time of the day that she didn’t have to hear or taste the Daylighters thoughts...
Relishing the silence she sighed rather contentedly. She wasn’t close enough to another Midnighter to hear them, they had to at least be a mile away for her to even catch a blip of their mind. She was easily a mile or two from the main town.
Though, she missed the breeze, it was a hot summer night and she lied atop her covered completely nude to the night air. Her long hair fanned out behind her on a silk covered pillow, her cheeks still flushed with the summer heat. Thankfully, the Secret Hour was always tepid, but devoid of movement leaving the air stagnant in her silent room. Even the horses down in their pastures were frozen in time. The Darklings though... ohhh those sour... bitter... dirty tasting things... she could sense them at the edges of her mind, like slime. Just at the edge of the forest that surrounded her home. She never entered there in the Daylight hours.
Still their incomprehensible thoughts were far better than the constant babble she heard in the daytime.

The dawning sun left streaks of light across Runa’s face in her bed. A muffled groan as she woke slowly. A new day was here and she had some finishing touches up to her shop down in the small village to complete. The cute little shop was homey and cozy like her little cabin was and she couldn’t help but give a little smile to the empty bedroom that life had been so fortunate so far. Excited to open the shop for the first time ever she very nearly jumped out of bed.
As Omega no one would pay her much mind, it was almost like being a loner, something that Runa would be just as fine with. But, pack life was inviting. Even as the lowest ranking member. She liked it better than being an Alpha. There were so many rules then, but now as long as she did not break pack law she was free to do as she wished. Feeling liberated Runa did happy little dance as she pulled out some clothes for the day. Nothing fancy, just her favorite pair of jeans and a loose fitting T-shirt in a nice royal blue. The fabric well worn and butter soft against her pale freckled skin.
Brushing out her hip length strawberry blonde hair she quickly braided it down her back to keep it out of her face as she worked. No make up for this saucy she-wolf. Looking quickly in the full length mirror hanging off her bathroom door she decided she looked damn hot without it. A quick brush of her teeth and other daily morning to do’s and she was tugging on her standard black leather paddock boots and she was scooping up the newest editions to her collection of spools of fabric and bouncing out her door for brisk walk to the little village.
Almost unable to contain her smile behind her usual cool composure she settled for a bit of pep in her step her braid swinging to the beat of her walk offering a small wave (even with her arms full of fabric) to Johnantan if he chose to notice her, it pays to be polite and she didn’t want to get on anyone’s bad side. But, it also wouldn’t hurt to have a friend or two.

Runa gave Johnathan a bright smile as he jogged over. "If you'd like to help I certainly won't turn it away." She replied. "That's very kind of you to offer. Thank you." The smaller female would gingerly relinquish a few spools of fabric to him. "You're out and about early." She commented warmly.
A little laugh and she nodded in agreement stopping at the humble door of her little shop. The sign over the door advertising "Alterations, Repairs and Custom Clothing". The large window showing the dark interior, the silhouette of her sewing machine and front desk. The large windows lacking curtains but she had plenty of fabric to choose from and free time until she gathered clients to make a pair up. Balancing the spools in one arm she unlocked the door and let it swing open inward flicking on the lights as she entered. Setting the spools down on the front desk for now so she could take the ones in Johnathan's arms.
The shop was modest. With only two dressing stalls bereft of curtains as well and the standard three sided mirror. A fabric rack in the back corner was almost completely full and an antique dresser was full of other materials. Like ribbons, threads, needles and clothing patterns. Sewing forms were in a neat line against the back wall both genders were there in both adult, petite and junior sizes as well as a few child sized forms. "Tonight should be exciting!" Runa exclaimed leaning against the counter. "A nice thing to celebrate is heart warming."

Name:Runa Morgan
Gender: Female
Age: 32
Rank: Omega
Trade: Seamstress
Upright Appearance:
Canine Appearance:
Personality: Runa is a typical wall flower for the most part, preferring to observe rather than be observed. Though, if prompted can and will state her often jaded opinions. Despite her silent and gentle nature she has no problem with putting any one in their place if need be. Sometimes coming off as cold or snobbish to those know know little of her, but she is actually a very warm and caring person who smiles and laughs often. She has a tendency to blush often and can be shy, unless the teeth need to come out. She is demure in size, but what she lacks in strength she makes up for in agility and speed, her small size tends to lead to underestimation which can be fatal in the worst circumstances. Though if challenged she would most likely give up her position unless it was to leave the pack.
History: Runa was once a pack Heir to a smaller wolf pack up north, but before she could take rule, the pack was hunted and never rejoined after scattering across the country. Being an Heir is not something she shares openly, she feels unfit for the job as Alpha and thus remains at her lower rank, though the desire to lead never really leaves her she does not act upon it. To keep her lineage a secret she keeps mostly to herself, even going so far to lie or evade speaking about her past. Her parents were named Margaret and Holland Morgan. Margaret and Holland were not killed when the pack was scattered and moved closer to the equator for retirement. Runa still keeps in contact with them, but tension keeps it from being frequent.
Extra?: She enjoys being outdoors and horses had been one of her passions growing up, but she gives the Alpha a wide berth unless it is necessary.

@Aspen Wren I ended up changing my character a little to better suit her personality. Hope that is okay?
