Demon Hunter: Chicago

The intimidating man gestured to Anya to leave. Something didn't feel right to Addie, but she wasn't so sure if it was quite what she initially thought. No it felt like something much darker was going on.

Adelaide tried to stall so she ran out the door, trying to conceal the cell phone she was praying would cooperate with her if she needed to call the police.

"You're niece is such a sweet girl." She said as Dmitri hopped into his vehicle. "Might I ask where you guys are off to so late, I'm kinda new around here. I didn't realize there was anything to do this late when there was still snow on the ground. At least that was rated PG if you know what I mean"

Addie tries to stay calm, but her composure is slipping. She has a feeling she is about to get caught up in something she is going to regret.

Addie nodded, something was for sure up with her. She better stick around til either this Dmitri guy showed up or she could safely get this girl to the proper authorities.

"Tell ya what. I'll keep you company while you wait." She offered, hoping the girl wouldn't run off. Great, now Addie sounded like the pedophile.

Demon Hunter: Chicago

Finishing a swallow. "I'm Adelaide, well Addie."

Unsure of who this Dmitri, fellow was, and the obvious youth of the girl in front of her, Addison began to get concerned.

"Aren't you a little young to be meeting up with guys this late at night?" She hoped that she didn't stumble onto some Russian mob human trafficking circuit accidentally. That was the last thing she needed.

Backstory/Bio
His father was executed during the big wipe of death Granted years ago. His mother had died in child birth. Orphaned at 6, he grew up under the care of The Cottage. Now he has been appointed as the newest mentor and he is unsure if he is mature enough and ready for it. He grew up being the only death Granted, now as things have calmed more have started to resurface. He hates his lineage and all it stands for but he isn't necessarily willing to do anything about it. All Alex wants is to live as normal life as possible. Hurt by the Granted society and all it stands for not only by the betrayal and loss of his father, but when his first love Camilla, a Shallow, nearly died because of him, he was forced to perform a forgetting spell. He hardly has left the island since. And he vowed never to get close to anything again, because if he lost anything else he would become death personified.

The Granted

The Granted



Underneath the world as we know it is a society of ruthless and terrible people vying for power. I’m sure all you conspiracy theorists already knew that. But it isn’t the Illuminati. It’s the Granted. See years ago 6 spirits of the stuff that makes up this universe we live in gave up their sentience and dispersed their magic amongst the first species they thought would protect the balance.

Unfortunately they gave it to humans.

The Granted:
Granted are either born into their abilities, or every so often a new Granted will be chosen and some random person will have to be retrieved from the Surface. (Pure bloodline Granted are super Haughty as you might imagine) The Granted are a part of our political society across the globe. Some are aware of this, most Shallows are not.

Setting: May 2015 San Francisco, California.
The Cottage is a classic edwardian home on top of an old Missile Silo on Angel Island. To the Shallows (Non-granted unaware of the Truth), it’s where the Angel Island State Park Rangers and their interns live. In reality it’s where young Granted (Ages 15 - 21) are trained to become who they are supposed to be in their society. After they finish their initial training they are assigned an apprentice who shares their specialty (if they have two bloodlines it will be whatever they are stronger with). Once their apprenticeship is up, Their mentor will recommend a place in society to the Regional Council, who decides what position they will be assigned.

*The reason Death Granted are so rare is because a bunch were executed for selling their services to terrorist organizations (most notably around 9/11/2001).

We will be playing Granted in The Cottage which is late training and early apprenticeship phase. You can play either a Mentor, or a Trainee, or even a Shallow if you so desire.

Demon Hunter: Chicago

@Shikaru

Halfway into her dinner, Addie was startled by an exhausted young teenager stumbling into the diner. She hadn't seen her before, although there was something oddly... timeless about her. Addie shook it off as mere familiarity, and had probably seen her around the place before.

The girl asked about someone named Dmitri. She hadn't met him before but she heard a few of the people behind the desk mention him before she was sure. Though she could be confusing it with some equally Russian sounding name. Who knows, there are probably a lot of Dmitri's in Chicago.

"I don't know who you're looking for but, you look like you need a rest." Addie nodded her head to the chair on the opposite side of the table she was sitting at, offering it to her.

@lavulman Oh I see what you meant, just went back and fixed it :) I have a problem with slipping up with tenses when writing dialogue. Thanks for pointing it out though.
