Umbra Rose Condos

Me realizing just how many shenanigans are about to ensue in this apartment complex.

Umbra Rose Condos

Okay! So naked fox lady is definitely someone on a list somewhere. I just know it.

@BunniesOfDoom

So far, Max would say that Miyuki is the scariest resident in the complex.

Umbra Rose Condos

I wonder if the pool counts as running water...

@Lemons

I think Velvet just couldnt pass over the filter. 😂

The jacuzzi jets are a no-go though…

Umbra Rose Condos

Mmm, fish.

@CitrusArms

I am required to remind the residents of the pool rules:
No running
No diving
Outside guests must be registered at the front desk
Pool hours are 10am to 12pm but quiet hours begin at 9pm.
No hunting of merfolk, fish spirits, or other aqueous guests

No wolves yet? No. Good!

Iris Madril

Name: Iris Madril

Image/Appearance:
At 25, Iris isn't a small woman. If one imagined what an Amazonian warrior would look like, Iris is the living definition. She is over six foot with broad shoulders and wide hips. She is muscular and she has long, dark, wavy hair she keeps pulled tight in a ponytail. Her skin is a dark caramel and her eyes honey brown. Her typical style of clothes consists of loose jeans, since her proper length only came in plus sizes, that she kept secured by a few belts around her waist and tank tops that were barely long enough to cover her navel. She has a few tattoos, the most prominent being the thick bars of black that encircled her upper arms. Her ears are adorned with multiple piercings and a hoop in her right nostril. When home, she is barefoot but when out and about, she favors heavy hiking boots.

Her wolf form can vary from an anthropomorphic bipedal form that can still speak, which she favors, or a feral large quadrupedal wolf that only knows blood and rage. Her pelt is black like midnight, her crystal blue eyes bright and clashing against her dark fur. Her nostril piercing is usually lost mid transformation but her earrings remain, though she usually takes them out before the full moon.

Race: werewolf

Racial Traits: Can change her form at will, though is forced to change in fits of extreme anxiety or anger or during the full moon. During blood moons, she has to be locked away for the safety of all because her wolf form is uncontrollable during those times because of her lack of a pack.

She's naturally strong and has a very fast healing factor. She's also ravenous. To the point that if she doesn't eat every day, her body will begin to eat her muscle mass and she'll deteriorate. She has such a strong metabolism that she pretty much can't get drunk and if she does, it's only for a short while. She has the typical aversion to silver and wolf's bane can make her sick if ingested or injected.

Requirements: Wolves need pack. It's in their very essence. They are hardwired to seek out a pack and belong and it is those bonds that help a wolf keep control during times like a blood moon or extreme circumstances.

Personality: Iris is pretty laid back. There isn't much that will bother her. She's slow to anger but quick to a smile. She's willing to offer her home to any and all that may need help. She may be a little too quick to make friends, her desperate need for a pack driving her to form connections where there may not be any to form. She'll move quick to make someone comfortable but won't hesitate to say something if someone tries to push too hard. She's generous but not a push over. She has her hard limits and won't hesitate to physically throw someone out of her home if she has to. She's a gentle teddy bear until you've crossed the line, then you'll get the fangs, sometimes literally if necessary.

Background: Iris was just a pup at the ripe age of 13 when she found herself staring down the threshold of the Umbra Rose Complex. Newly changed, confused, and alone, she wasn't sure what she was doing or what it meant to be a werewolf when the owner of the complex found her shivering against the wall of the entrance, curled up against herself in the cold of mid winter. He took her in, gave her an apartment and space to learn of herself. There she remained, barely leaving her apartment except to get food from time to time until he had had enough and went to have a talk with her.

The residents weren't sure what happened in that time but he didn't leave her apartment for three days and when he finally left, his clothes were in tatters but she was by his side, peering out at all the people from behind his leg. From that time on, she was more social, branching out on her own and meeting people. She grew up in the halls of the complex, helping out in the grounds and becoming part of the apartment family. She has yet to meet another werewolf in the complex but she has somehow made the staff and residents a makeshift pack. Though it's not a true pack. She still has to lock herself away during blood moons or step away from situations that are growing for too heated. To this day, she won't tell anyone what happened in those three days in her apartment with the owner of the complex and no one has the gall to ask the owner, so it remains a mystery.

Building, Floor, and room: Building 2, Floor 1, Room 12

Room description: If there was ever an apartment that spoke of relaxation and lounging, Iris's apartment would be it. A wide, sectional couch with an extended lounger at the end for extra room to really spread out encased a whole side of the room and sat just in front of a large screen TV that hung just above a fireplace that looks as if someone took a handful of a mountainside and slapped it into the apartment. True limestone polished to a shining gleam took up the whole while and extended out and under a large coffee table large enough to be used as a small dinner table.

Off to the side was a granite lined bar with six cushioned stools positioned along its edge. The granite extended into wide counter space with large cabinets underneath for plenty of storage. A wide island with another two bar stools and a cook top took up the majority of the kitchen with a large fridge and deep sink taking up the back wall, counters filling in the rest of the space left.

A guest bath with a large walk in shower was off to the side, the guest bedroom located just next to it. Her master suite was just down the hall. If one were to walk further down the hall and pull the rug to the side, they would find a latch and trapdoor. Just below is a steel room with chains secured tightly to the wall. At the ends of the chains were a collar and wrist shackles. This was the room she rode put the blood moons in and the steel walls and floors showed it. They were marred by claw marks.

@BunniesOfDoom

We were just waiting for YOUR wolf!

Umbra Rose Condos

@Dragonydas
Are you going to go through any sort of approval/declining process for character sheets? Should we post them here in the OOC first or go ahead and plop them into the character tab straight away?

@Xaltwind

That would have been a good question for me to ask first. 😅
I got the thumbs up from OP so figured I was good to repost in Characters.

LupusIntus Character Datasphere

Name: Sevrin Creed | Age: 24 | Gender: Male | Race: Half-Elf (or perhaps Furbolg, if that is an acceptable race. Something very natury)

Main role: Alchemist
Side Roles: Herbalist/Perfumer(? Thinking of something like the Elden Ring perfumer bottles: basically an expert at spraying flammable, poisonous, or acidic compounds as an attack. If that’s approved, of course!)

Minor Skills: Experimental Cooking (But in the “will eat anything once, Dungeon Meshi style”), Graphite sketching.

Personality: Sevrin is your typical distracted field researcher who loves to study all things plant-related and who isn’t afraid to get down and dirty if it means collecting a good sample. He has very few friends but is loyal to a fault to those he does have. While he tends to be cautious to the point of ‘analysis paralysis’ he is quite brave when push comes to shove. Will absolutely answer every biology-related question you didn’t know you had and probably never asked.

Reason for joining: Sevrin believes the guilds are the best way for him to get out past the city walls where he can study all sorts of flora and fauna to his heart’s content. He also has hopes of finding his missing mother someday.

Background: Atticus Creed was a lumberjack in a more isolated human settlement. It was a dangerous profession, one that often saw him traversing the dangerous forests around the town. One day he and his team were attacked by a manticore and while the others were killed he was only wounded amd was saved by an elven woman, Sylian’terhala who had been traveling the woods nearby. They fell in love and had a son, Sevrin. Sylian was delighted when her som began to share her affinity for the natural world and things were happy in the Dunsford household for many years. When Sevrin turned 19 his father passed away from illness and his mother was heartbroken. After he began working as a local alchemist he was completely blindsided when his mother suddenly announced her heart “has called upon the wanderer within her”. One year later and with many tears and wellwishes she left the city. Sevrin hasn’t heard from her in 3 years and has decided to accept a job offer with a new guild in order to get out into the forest in the hopes of finding clues to her whereabouts.

Equipment: Alchemist’s Field Kit, Sample Tubes, graphite pencils, leather bound journal, a dagger, boiled leather armor, traveler’s attire, mortar and pestle, potion bandoleer, mess kit, bedroll, fire-starter.

LupusIntus Character Datasphere

Name: Maxwell Erickson
Image/Appearance: A 26 year old human male with short, curly black hair and dark brown eyes. Has the makings of a dad-bod with gentle features, a round face, and the slightest hint of laugh lines at the edges of his eyes. Is typically seen in his Umbra Rose front-desk uniform, which is always freshly pressed and only slightly sweat-stained if he's had to deal with some of the more frightening residents.

Race: Human
Racial Traits: Death & Taxes
Requirements: Therapy

Personality: Max is a grade-A customer service representative with a friendly, cheerful demeanor and an earnest desire to help those around him. He is genuinely kind and considerate and is out there just doin' his best, man. He has many friends but few he would consider 'close' as he often uses his approachable exterior to hide a whirlwind of self-doubt and doesn't allow himself to open up with just anyone. He is generally terrified of monsters, especially ghosts, and is incredibly superstitious about mundane things like black cats, the number 13, breaking mirrors, and walking under ladders. He also has a phobia of bees. Max loves animals, especially dogs, and has a semi-secret nerdy side with a love of comic books and fantasy novels. He also loves to cook, and is pretty good at it!

Background: Max was born and raised in the midwest in a small town in Michigan and went to Loyola University in Chicago to earn a degree in Hospitality Management. He was actually set to become the chief operations officer of a ritzy Chicago hotel when he was suddenly overshot by the owner's nephew and then subsequently laid off by that very same nephew. Without a single job prospect in several months, Max was on the verge of losing everything until his recruiter described a 'very unique offer' involving a 'rather exotic condominium complex'. Though only a front desk position and requiring relocation, it offered free room and board and Max was beyond desperate so he applied without a second thought (and without really reading the job description). His initial interviews went spectacularly and he was beyond impressed with the description of the facilities so he immediately accepted the offer, packed his meager belongings, and booked a flight within a few weeks.
While his first days on the job were... harrowing, he has somewhat slipped in to the routine of work and has gotten the hang of handling various 'outsiders'; such as delivery drivers, mailmen, and the occassional religious proselytizer; as well as assisting the residents with their various needs and questions about human society.

Building 1, Floor 1, Room 113.
Room description: This cozy 1br, 1ba is the perfect space for an up-and-coming single who values privacy and affordability. Tucked into our quiet courtyard corner, the windows offer a stunning view of our perfectly manicured hedges without any worry of pesky morning sunlight disturbing your sleep. With full access to our ample ammentities and an easy 2 block walk to the nearest train station, you'll have the opportunity to experience everything Umbra Rose and this city has to offer. Fully furnished with a bed, bookshelves, a loveseat, and even a sizable flatscreen television, this unit is just dieing to be your new forever-home.
Max has decorated the bedroom with a few posters of Spider-Man and Batman and the bookshelf is now full of various fantasy and sci-fi novel series. The bedroom is surprisingly messy for someone who always looks so fresh and presentable.
