Vampire Academy

I'm considering making this character... I'm not sure yet... Yae or nae guys?

Name: Aleksander Belikov
Gender: Male
Race: Dhampir
Age: 21
Ward: School Guardian and Mentor
Description:

Personality:
Serious at times and sarcastic and teasing the next. Alex tends to take Guardianship and Mentoring very seriously, he doesn't tend to screw around when it comes to his job. However, he isn't all work... Alex jokes with his students and tends to pick on the overly serious Guardians who never ease up. He doesn't, however, take kindly to students who shirk their duty or don't take Guardianship seriously as it's one thing to risk your own life and a completely different thing to risk the life of someone you're sworn to protect.
Background:
Aleksander Belikov, better known as Paul Aleksander Belikov, is the son of Karolina Belikova and the nephew of Dimitri Belikov. He was trained by both Rose Hathaway and Dimitri when he was still living with his family in the commune and his mother is very proud that he has chosen the same path as her brother. He got his first Molinja mark at age 15, making him one of the youngest known Guardians to kill a Strigoi and also making him a bit of a legend on campus... You'd never know it though, he acts just like everyone else... light hearted and joking and down to earth. He doesn't like it when people bring up his many Molinja marks, first down playing it and then tending to get irritable about it. Alex, as he prefers to be called, chose to work at the school rather than having a specific Ward... the reasoning behind it is unknown.

Vampire Academy RP?

Christians actor wasnt exactly the way I pictured him either. Everyone else was good though.... and yay more people.

Tiere

Yay!

Vampire Academy

Lol, I went ahead and posted an intro post to kill some time. Maybe that'll pull some more interested parties.

Vampire Academy

Somewhere in the wilderness of deep woods Montana lies St. Vladimir's Academy, it's brick structure standing tall against the backdrop of trees and mountains and the high gates and magical wards locking out any who might be unwelcome. The school year was just beginning but already the grounds were busy with Dhampir and Moroi students and teachers alike headed to where they needed to be. To the west were the Dhampir dorms and to the east were those of the Moroi, both were separated into male and female areas and everyone had at least one roommate. Staffing quarters were within the main building and it was fast becoming obvious that this would be a busy year.
Angelina, and she'd kill you if you called her that to her face, was busy yanking her small duffle bag out of the trunk of one of the nondescript black sedans that had served as transportation for most of the lesser class. Her face was marred by a dark scowl as she had to fight to pry it out from under several other, much heavier bags which belonged to the Moroi who'd chosen to ride with her. Sebastian was an ass, but a good friend none the less, but the fact that he was royal meant that not only did he have WAY too much stuff but he also shouldn't have been riding with her in the first place... No arguing with him over that fact though. With a huff Angelina finally gave up and turned with a glare on the dark haired Moroi as he coughed in order to hide an amused laugh.
"I thought you were a tough girl Anna, and yet here you are... letting a few suitcases thwart your efforts to get a good room this year," he teased.
She rolled her eyes, "And whose fault is that... I'm pretty sure that's all YOUR stuff burying my bag. Why didn't you ride in one of those fancy cars like the other Royals instead of making my life miserable."
He pretended to be hurt, putting a hand over his heart. "You wound me... I would never INTENTIONALLY make your life difficult."
She deadpanned, "Uh-huh... riiiight..."
Anna had known Sebastian since they'd both started here and, contrary to popular belief, he'd been the one to start stalking HER not the other way around though she still didn't know why. For some reason, he liked her... like a kid sister and he was the annoying older brother she couldn't get away from. Not that he hadn't tried that whole pushing her away bullcrap... She just hadn't let him and, in her typical tough love way, had told him to suck it the hell up cuz she wasn't going anywhere.... Maybe that's why he liked her actually...

Vampire Academy

Good XD I ADORED the books and having someone else who is as crazy as I am when it comes to playing multiple characters is great. Also, having someone to gush about the books to will be nice. Lol

Vampire Academy RP?

By all means, go ahead and post your character sheets in the OOC so we can get a feel for who is playing and we can get this show on the road. ^_^

Vampire Academy

Tsubasa, both of your characters are accepted and honestly I'd like to pair Angelina up with Rae as his guardian, that should prove interesting. I also think Sebastian and Serena would be interesting since I think the whole Dhampir Guardian and Moroi Ward expectancies would end up completely backwards. We'll see what happens after more people post their character sheets...

BlackCat, your character is a bit too much like Sebastian. I would really like it if you switched her up a bit to avoid that but you're still more than welcome to play. ^^

"A long time ago, if you had told me that there were people out there who could shapeshift and use magic I would have told you that you were insane. If you'd told me that soulmates were real I would have laughed in your face, call me cynical if you want but it's true. Now though, everything has changed and I'm... not sure where to start. Maybe there isn't a good place to start or maybe I should start it off by telling you a story; One that my great grandmother used to tell me, one that she said her grandmother used to tell her. It starts off as any childhood story does with a 'once upon a time'.

Once upon a time, the gods created man but not as we are today... No, back then people had two hearts beating in their chests, four arms, four legs, and they lived forever. Honestly, despite everything I've seen, I still don't quite believe that part but there are some things we'll never know for sure and how all of this actually began is one of them. Still, it is said that some of the Gods disliked that man was immortal like themselves and decided to split man in half. This not only cut their lives short but it also split their bodies and souls. After that, man was cursed to spend their entire lives searching for their other halves... their soulmate. Then, this is where the story gets strange... even for a children's story.

There were those people who were unhappy about the curse the gods had laid upon them and in their pride they turned to dark magic, stripping themselves of their half of a soul and leaving them empty but immortal yet again. Unfortunately, they were not the only ones affected. Their soulmates suffered consequences as well when the half of a soul that had been released returned to their bodies. These people would no longer have soulmates and would be forced to live all their lives alone... Oh, right... back then they believed in reincarnation of souls. Anyway, when the Mother Goddess saw this she grew sad... no soul should have to drift alone for eternity. So, she formed them yet another half a soul and blessed them with it, creating soulmates to take the places of the ones they'd lost.

Still, the human body was not meant to carry so much spirit and the goddess was forced to grant them an animal form to house one piece of their soul and a balance they must maintain in order to keep their whole soul from warring. The balances coincide with the elements... earth, water, fire, and air... but there is also light, dark, life, and death. The empty ones who had given up their souls grew angry because now, not only were their other halves also immortal but they also still had their emotions and a soulmate. The empty ones, known as the Forsaken, began killing off the newly formed beings known as the Tiere and their mates. Tiere who lost their mates became wraithlike creatures who seek nothing but to fill their own hollow existence by feeding off the hopes, dreams, and emotions of others... I guess you could call them ghosts... except really bad ones that cause people to do horrible things like suicide and murder because they drain all the happiness away from the unlucky person they attach themselves to.

Now, the crazy part is that the Tiere are real and so are the Forsaken... and so are the Lost. I, myself, am a Tiere though I didn't know it until others found me. See, when a Tiere dies they are reborn and we have no memory of our past which means that it's up to others like us to find us before the Forsaken do. All Tiere can be reborn unless their soulmate is killed and their soul devoured, they lose their Balance, or they are killed in their animal form... Then, they become Lost. Unfortunately, the only ones who can see the Lost are the Tiere. The Forsaken don't know that they are creating Lost with every one of us they kill and unfortunately for the Forsaken, they can become Lost as well if their Tiere counterpart is killed and their soul devoured... You see our problem?

The number of Lost is growing daily, especially since a person the Lost feeds on who finally succumbs to it becomes a Lost as well. The world is full of the Lost and if you've been wondering why everything has gone to hell in a hand basket (people killing each other, kids committing suicide, people losing their minds) they would be why... The only way to stop it is to release a Lost from its torment... the only problem... Only a Death Balanced Tiere can do it and we only know of one..."


So, this is an rp I've been hoping to get going for a while... We'll see if anyone is interested. First, I should explain a few things...

Balances - A Balance is a set of rules a Tiere must live by to keep their souls in harmony with each other. Elemental tiere have it pretty easy, they get to wield nifty powers and usually their Balance coincides with their personalities... Like, Earth elementals are patient and tend to like to grow things. Water elementals are emotional and tend to be shy. Fire elementals are passionate and outgoing while air elementals tend to be flighty daydreamers. Things get a touch more complex though when it comes to the other four balances...

Light - Well, these guys can never lie but on the up side they can simply not answer a question and they have the ability to always know when someone else is lying. Light balances cannot be err... intimate... with someone they don't love. Light balances can read the past (emotions and events) off of objects they touch.

Dark - Liars plain and simple. Even a Light balance can't tell when a Dark is telling the truth or not. Dark can tell the truth about everything but their premonitions... Yep, they can see the future on occasion. The only problem is they can't control it and they can't tell you about it without speaking in riddle or leaving out hugely important details. Dark balances can't be with someone they truly love... forced to love at a distance or to love someone they cannot have.

Life - Simply put they can restore the recently dead at a great cost to themselves (namely part of their soul) and prevent them from becoming Lost... they can heal wounds also. Life balances cannot kill another. They are also closely tied with the same rules and abilities that apply to Light.

Death - The only balance able to release a Lost from it's torment. Death can sense Lost and see death coming via premonitions much like those of the Dark Balance. Death balances are usually mentally unstable to a point because sensing the Lost means feeling their emptiness... not to mention they can see into the world of the dead... meaning ghosts.

Vampire Academy

I'll be playing two characters as well as moving the days along and playing the teachers... if anyone else would like to help with playing Academy staff (Meaning teachers, adult Guardians protecting the school, etc.) let me know... Also, I don't expect your character sheets to be as descriptive and long as mine... I get carried away. ^_^

Name: Angelina Ross
Race: Dhampir
Age: Seventeen
Ward: Unknown
Description:

Personality:
Passionate, stubborn, relatively outgoing, serious about her duties, and highly protective of those she cares about. She can be sarcastic and tends to tease her friends but she has a big heart. She has absolutely zero tolerance for bullies and unlike most Moroi and Dhampir students she doesn't condemn the Dhampirs who live in the communes as she came from one herself. She is more like one of the guys than a girly girl, enjoying sports and fighting over shopping and gossip.
History:
Angelina was born in a Dhampir commune and she learned early how hard life could be. Her mother struggled to support her and her two younger sisters in a world that sees her only as a 'blood whore' despite the fact that all her children, aside from Anna, are from one Moroi male... Anna's mother won't talk to her about her father and so Anna has no idea who he is. In the commune Angelina got to see first hand how badly Moroi men who came there treated Dhampir women but despite that, when she heard of the training compensation law being passed she immediately signed up for Academy in order to help support her family the best way she could. Despite Anna's disdain toward most Moroi Royals and her wary attitude around most Moroi males Anna sets it aside and takes her training very seriously... The better and more professional you are the more likely you are to get a royal ward and the more important the Moroi you are assigned to the more money you make once you become a Guardian. Money, to Anna, means a way to help provide for and take care of her family and family is everything...

Name: Sebastian Lazar
Race: Moroi
Element: Spirit
Age: Seventeen
Guardian: Unknown
Abilities:
Seeing auras (which he can't help), brushing people's minds with his own also accidentally (which enables him to hear their thoughts), compulsion (which he also doesn't use on purpose but even when he's not using it people tend to be drawn to him), and healing others (which he almost NEVER EVER does because of the heavy toll it takes on him).
Description:

Personality:
Sarcastic, stubborn, and a trouble maker known for pushing the rules. Sebastian believes Moroi should learn to protect themselves instead of having to rely on others, disliking the idea of someone else putting their life of the line to protect his. He at first refused a Guardian until his parents forced it upon him... like so much else. Sebastian suffers from the moodiness and depression commonly found in most Spirit Users and tends to drown it out by getting into trouble... drinking, smoking, flirting. He refuses to get close to anyone either, pushing anyone who manages to start breaking down his walls away... usually with cruel words or actions... thoroughly burning the bridge between himself and nearly everyone else. He is fun loving and a bit of a wild child and though he has a great many friends, none of them know him very well aside from one or two very close ones who refuse to let him push them out of his life.
History:
Sebastian has always been a bit of a disappointment to his parents. He has always been a rule breaker and has a severe dislike for courtly duties and politics, tending to do anything he can to stay away from such things. His other siblings are the golden kids, doing exactly what's expected of them but as the eldest of his line he is the Prince and so his parents tend to try to push him into things... Because of his parent's constant disapproval, even when he tries to get things right, and their constant comparison to his deceased elder brother Sebastian tends to go out of his way to irritate and embarrass his parents... giving them a real reason to be disappointed. His inability to declare a magic, which exposed him as a Spirit User, is among his latest failures which his father gives him hell about constantly... as if he could have chosen otherwise. Sebastian doesn't talk about it but Spirit scares him, he can tell when the spells of madness hit even when he just slips a little... saying strange things or feeling the paranoia or the irrational agitation... This is also another big reason he won't let anyone get too close, he's afraid he might hurt someone.
