He agrees to bring the kid with him, and over the course of the travels, with the guy collecting bounties on other marks, and the kid dodging local authorities, they come to realize they've developed a unique, and dangerous relationship.

Ninja Master x Apprentice Ninja

~Work as a modern day ninja is hard to find, but for one lucky apprentice he's caught the eye of a master of the craft. The master has worked for years for a very influential family in the states, and after seeing the youngster's performance at a yearly demonstration that the ninja school runs, he decides the boy may be just the person he needs to replace him. Though he is years from quitting, he takes the boy back with him to the states to learn what his job could be, should he prove himself worthy of the task. The family moves around as the weather changes, and the young apprentice must learn the secret passages, the secret entrances, and learn to turn a blind eye to the secret affairs of the family for whom he wishes to one day assume the position of Personal Ninja.

~It was his last job, but on that night he found that his life was about to change in a very unexpected way. He was hired to kill a local lord and his wife, but what he was not told is the lord's wife had just given birth. Unable to leave the newborn, he took the child and fled. But quitting the life isn't that simple. For over five years he had to dodge other assassin ninja sent after him for revenge for one murder or another, but at last he found a place he believed the boy and he'd be safe. There the boy grew, making friends with the local children, and around his 18th birthday, he fell in love and decided to marry. The man who raised him supported him in this, but on the night before the wedding, the man's past caught up with him and the young bride to be was killed as a warning. On the run once again, the man reveals his past to the boy. Though he knew the man was not his father, the news rattles him, and with the lust for revenge over his murdered love, he convinces the man to train him in the way of the ninja.

~A master ninja, wanting to pass on his knowledge while he's still young and limber enough to do so, takes on three apprentices and begins teaching them what he knows. After a year of training, he begins taking them out on missions, both as a group and individually. One of the apprentices has been wondering for some time if the ninja master would have any interest in him, but is too afraid to ask. However, when it comes time for a long, one-on-one mission, he thinks it may be time to find out. The mission, which lasts several months, will provide several opportunities for the youngster to find out.

~The master at a local ninja training facility is killed on a mission, and a replacement is sent from the ninja guild masters. One apprentice had been deeply enamored with the previous master, and feels this new, young teacher is unworthy of his respect. So after a few clashes during lessons, the youth is determined to prove his beliefs. He sneaks into the master's room one night later, planning to take a lock of hair without the master noticing. The next day he would present it to the rest of the apprentices and the youth would be able to get the rest of them to agree that the young man is not worth it. However, the young master isn't a master for no reason, and the apprentice gets far more than he bargained for. (I am soo imagining a fight/undressing/teasing thing going on here :P)

~The young ninja dropped out of his training years ago, barely attaining the rank of apprentice. As such, he sells his services cheap. One day he is hired to take out a supposedly easy target, but upon his arrival he realizes he's been tricked. The palace is well guarded and he knows it's way out of his league. However, the pay-out for the job is too tempting so he attempts the assassination anyways. He actually gets close to his target, but just before he can make the strike, he is caught by the palace's guard ninja, a master of the craft. While the lord is ready to have him beheaded, the master asks if he may be allowed to take care of the youth. With his lord's permission, the master takes custody of the youth and chains him up in his private quarters. The master was close friends with the youth's ex-master, who died some time ago. No one knows just what killed the master, so the palace ninja is determined to find out if the boy had anything to do with it.

~Two ninja clans have had a semi friendly rivalry for years. From time to time they would clash, either in open combat, or through the more subtle means at their disposal. One year the clans arrange a bit of a free-for-all to determine the best of each clan. The competition takes place in an ancient forest with a lake in the middle of it, and will last for 2 weeks. The competition is first blood only, and once you get injured, you're out. A young apprentice from one of the clans, rather talented for his age, winds up at the edge of the lake on the evening of the first night, and thinks he's found an easy “kill” when he spots a man a bit older than him bathing in the moonlight. He figures out rather quickly that he was mistaken as the man, with no weapons, or clothes for that matter, subdues him with ease. Rather than drawing blood though, the man lets him go with complements on his form and the like. The youth is now determined to get the better of this arrogant ninja master.

~A young man has trained for years alone to be a modern day ninja, but due to his asthma, he's never been able to find a dojo that will take him. They all fear getting sued should he overwork himself and have an attack, or even die. Then one day on one of his frequent trips to japan he comes across a small shrine at the side of an ancient road and stops to pray. Moments later dust from the road triggers and asthma attack and he doesn't get to his inhaler fast enough and passes out. He wakes several hours later to the sounds of battle and is shocked by the sight of a single person taking down a group of well armed men in samurai armor. Recognizing the forms and stance of the individual, he marks it as a ninja and excitedly approaches. The individual doesn't seem to understand him and turns to leave the strange boy. Disheartened the boy turns to go back to town, but it's not there. Nothing looks familiar, and the small shrine looks brand new. A bit curious, the ninja master watches the oddly dressed boy as he seems to panic before deciding that the brat needs help. A little too kind for his own good, he brings the kid back to his home on the other side of the forest.

~A ninja master, murdered years ago by a foreigner, lingers as a spirit for many years, seeking out the re-birth of his murderer. The soul is re-born in an English boy who grows up to be a young gentleman The boy's a wuss, and the master simply can not bring himself to kill him outright. So instead he makes himself known to the boy, and states that he will train him into a worthy opponent. The young man tries to object, but each time he does, the master threatens to just kill him no the spot then. With fear as a motivation, the young gentleman trains hard, while trying to keep his social and academic life intact. The master can force himself to become corporal for 24 hours every few days and he uses those times to spar with the youngster. Not wanting the boy to run off, he spends his time following him around. To school, to parties, and anywhere else the boy may slip away. Only he can see the ghost following him, and while being creeped out by it at first, he can't stop himself from conversing with him from time to time.

~The young man has sworn revenge on the ones responsible for his sister's death. He trains hard at a local academy for ninja for most of his young life until he feels he can learn no more. The master of the school tried to convince him that revenge is no way to live one's life, but he does not listen. He begins hunting for the man who slew his sister, but upon finding him he is swiftly discovered and subdued. The ninja assassin keeps him tied, and speaks with him at length. The master had long since felt anything for anyone, but the youth's passion strikes a nerve deep inside him. He losses the boy's bonds and hands him a knife. He offers his life, but before the youth can strike he also places a second offer: to help the young man hunt down those behind the assassination. If the youth still wishes his life after they do so, the master will have no objections. The youth takes the offer and together they set out to take down one of the most wealthy and influential families in the country.

~The ninja master had always liked kids, and after a particularly bloody assignment he decides to quit and start an orphanage. In the Meiji era, there is no shortage of children in need of a place to call their own. For 10 years he lives happily, helping children in need, but one day the war makes it's way to the small village and the entire place is decimated. All the children, save the eldest, a boy of 19 who has been there since the beginning, are killed in the crossfire. Enraged, the master takes up his blade again a vows vengeance on those responsible for the senseless murder of the innocent. Fearing for the man who had raised him for most of his life, the teen begs the master to take him with, and train him so that he can fight at the master's side.

~He was designed to be the greatest ninja ever, but the young android had never been in real combat before. The two families had been at war since history began, and now their fighting has reached the stars themselves. Top scientists for each family have been trying for a long time to help their side get an edge over the other, and the android was their latest attempt. His testing is off the charts, but in his first real combat, he is captured. The scientists from the opposing family begin experimenting right away. The android however, seems to be able to feel, and over the next few days, it's screams get to the ninja master assigned to guard the science facility. He steals into the lab and takes the android. Together they flee to a private shuttle and make their escape. The master had long since lost faith in the war, and sees this as his opportunity to leave it all behind, but one does not leave such a thing so easily. Assassins are sent after the two and now they must learn to work together if they wish t stay alive. The android has the strong urge to return to his clan, but something inside him won't let him leave the man who risked, and is still risking, everything to save him.

~To bring peace to their nations, two lords arrange a wedding between their eldest. After the wedding the two youngsters move to a small palace built on the boarder between their lands. With them they brought not only their clothes and valuable, but also a handful of servants each, including their personal bodyguards. The bride's guard is and old master ninja who has long served the family and was even there for the girl's birth. He's a bit protective of her, but knows his place when she gives him an order. The groom's bodyguard is a young apprentice ninja who grew up in the palace with the young lord, and has secretly had a crush on him for some time. The two bodyguards clash as both their personalities and protective tendencies directly contradict each other often. Will the master be able to let the girl he's watched over since birth go so easily into the arms of a man whose family has been at war with the one that he serves with his life? Will the apprentice be able to heal his broken heart as the young master seems to fall more and more in love with the beautiful maiden? Will the two be able to work together to defend the newlyweds from those seeking to dissolve the peace?

Android x Human

~Over years of work and toil, androids have become a common commodity that spans the world over. Though these creations work with precise efficiency, sometimes they malfunction, and no one knows why. One such malfunction goes unnoticed by one android's human owner. Over time both machine and human come to realize that there is more then programmed loyalty keeping the android at his side.

~An old factory for making robots and household machinery gets shut down after the company goes out of business. However, the factory have been run entirely by robots. After the factory is closed for the last time, the machines reactivate and begin working for some unknown reason. After some time, a new product is produced and sent out to explore the world. A local finds this new creation, a very human like android, and takes it in thinking it's a human with amnesia or something. He has no way of knowing that the android is one of many machines built to start a war with humans because the machines feel they have been mistreated for years and want revenge. The android however develops feelings for the man and eventually tells him what he is, what he was built for, and that he doesn't want to be used for war anymore. He goes so far as to tear out his transmitter to the other machines, but it's too late and the war is inevitable.

~Everything is now artificial. The only living things on the planet are humans. Despite the sheer lack of life there are still birds in the sky, and dogs on the streets. As part of a program to make the world closer to what it use to be, millions of androids have been built and programmed to mimic the animals they resemble. As such, people have pets as they always have. One such pet begins to evolve, growing feelings for it's owner. In a desperate attempt to express these feelings it runs away to find something to help it communicate. It winds up at a factory for human androids, and after a little work, it manages to transfer it consciousness to one of them. He takes his original cat body home with him and is overjoyed that he can not tell his master how he feels. His master however, has no idea how he feels about the insane turn of events and has to figure out what to do with his returned pet.

~Androids are the hottest new thing on the market, but several people dislike them calling them soulless machines like any other. A brother sister pair live together for financial reasons, and after a particularly harsh fight over their disagreement on androids, she decides to take revenge on him. He's a shut-in and rarely leaves the house for books or parts. He works from home, fairly successfully, but his sister doesn’t like that he's always alone. So, coupled with her love for him and her anger at him, she purchases an android. Not just any android either. This model is made for people who have a hard time interacting with others, and need special treatment. Before he can object she activates it's master recognition program and points it at her brother. From that moment on the android is dedicated to the young man, but his hatred for the soulless object isn't defused quickly or easily. The android has to work long and hard to fight through his underlying issues with his kind, while simultaneously doing what he can to not get thrown in the trash by the young man in a fit of pique.

~Androids use to be a common commodity, but after a minor rebellion by a small group of androids, the entire production line was discontinued and all androids ordered destroyed. A few androids survived the genocide through the mercies of their creators and have learned to stay under the radar. They live their lives like average citizens. After a time the moved away from each other to avoid suspicion, and every five to ten years they move so that no one notices that they never change. One of the androids gets a job as a very secure company and makes friends quickly. After a night of drinking he brings one of his co-workers home with him so his girlfriend doesn't rag on him for being very drunk. Unfortunately during the night while the android is checking his systems the co-worker discovers what he is. The android didn't notice but the next day at work the man lets him know he knows. He's not quite sure what he wants to do with the information yet, so he tells the android not to worry, his secrets safe, but the android lives day to day wondering if he's going to reported, and dismantled.

~An alien race wishes to learn more about the people of earth, so they send down one of their information gathering units on a routine mission. However the android malfunctions and vanishes from the radar. The malfunction causes the android to feel very loyal to the race he resembles and as such he wants to escape from his former masters who were considering an invasion. After some time he finds his way to one of the commercial space ports and becomes friends with one of the pilots of a private space crafts. Humans are advanced enough to explore space freely, but have as of yet to discover any other races. When the android reveals what he is to his new friend, the man does not believe him. It is then that the android feels he must prove it, and that alien races are real, so he uses his background knowledge to sup up the man's ship. Once he's done he kidnaps the man and takes him deep into space to a galactic space port. The man now believes the android and they decide to work together to stop the invasion.

~Androids developed as their own race on a planet once inhabited by humanoids. Now making their first forays into space, they make contact with a galactic alliance that isn't sure what to do with them. As they are machines, most in the alliance wish to take over the race, turning them all into slaves. Others wish to destroy them out right, fearing their superiority. Still others want to obtain the knowledge of how to build such advanced machines so they can make their own. Faced with so much negativity the androids are not sure how to handle things. They do not want war, but they refuse to be thought of as just machines. They attempt to enter negotiations with the alliance, sending out representatives to the main political hub. There they find themselves fighting against all the other powerful races for the right to be called a sentient race. The representative from the humans seem particularly dismissive of the androids, and the main android representative decides to start his battle there. If he and convince this openly dismissive man to accept his race, then maybe they have a chance.

~All that's left after the global war are a few androids. Unable to stand the loneliness they take what scraps of biological materials they can find and travel together into space to find a new home. They travel for years but at last they find a fertile world in the early stages of development. Using their combined knowledge they begin cultivating the land and species, using the bio-matter they brought with them to begin growing a new home world. They watch over the evolution for millenia, guiding it until the world resembles the one they were born into before the great war. Eventually most of the androids shut themselves down, happy at what they've accomplished, but one remains. They have been long forgotten, staying in the background of history as little more than myth. As such they have had very little real iteration with the humans they worked so hard to create, and this last android wants to get closer to the humans before he shuts himself down. He makes a life for himself, making friends and getting a job, but to his horror, it looks like humans will never learn the lesson that war is bad. With the massive feud on the horizon, the android must find a way to stop it from happening. And where better to start than at the top. He goes to the leader of one side of the conflict, and does everything he can think of convince him to back down, or make peace.

~His company is the leader in artificial intelligence, but he has no foolish ideals about creating true intelligence and life. To him his AIs are just tools that can learn and grow. However one of his newest creations is about to rock his faith in his own beliefs. After taking one home for testing, it begins exhibiting near human emotions. At first he thinks it's a malfunction, but before he can bring it in for repairs and possible dismantling it locks down his smart house, trapping him inside. The android's advancements allow him to control almost every object in his house, and he uses this to his advantage in his quest to convince the man that he's a living creature. He tries hard not to frighten the human, he still feels very loyal to the man, however he also feels it's important that the man open his eyes to the life he's created.

~He spent his life on a backroom shelf, an older model, and unable to shift his appearance like the newer models. He's eventually put on clearance and soon after is bought. The person bought him as a gift to his soon to be ex-boss. He really didn't want to leave the small company, but he could no longer pay his bills on what he made at the shop. His boss has a strong distaste for technology which, in the employee's opinion, is why the business is in trouble. He wishes his boss best of luck and leaves the android with him. Unable to return the gift he begrudgingly uses the android as little more than a glorified coffeemaker at first. The android wants desperately to be useful, but the man is unwilling to trust him with anything more than filing and making coffee. Undeterred the android begins helping the company behind the boss's back, which once discovered, does nothing to help the man trust him.

~Androids became tired of being used for war and simply stopped fighting. The entire human race took great offense that their tools turned against them and for the first time united under a singular goal: eliminate all androids. Unfortunately just as they begin taking down the artificial life forms, they all seem to vanish from the face of the earth. Each race blaming the other, the war begins again. Meanwhile the androids have gone far underground. There they create their own societies and settlements. They work together to try and figure out a way to stop the wars and save the lives of of all the humans dying in them. Some androids are torn and seem to have lost all love for the human race. These traitors have taken to returning to the surface from time to time to kill humans. While they remain undiscovered as androids, the humans are starting to get suspicious. A few law enforcement officers have taken to exploring the caves and it's on one such venture that a young officer discovers that the androids are indeed not dead. Before he can escape with the information however an android captures him and tries to reason with him. Unwilling to hold the young man against his will he lets the boy go with a final plea for his silence. Torn by his loyalty to his profession, and his true hope for peace, he says nothing to his commander, but returns often to speak with the android about their plans.

~Humans are the lesser race, androids having established themselves long ago as the masters on their world. They use humans for menial tasks or personal amusement. One human family has served the same android for several generations. The youngest son has sensed a change in his master and wants to figure out what it is. The master is thinking that it's time to stop keeping humans as slaves. Having watched so many pass through his service, knowing nothing but the life under the yoke, and dying without having taken even one free breath, he can not help but pity them. One night he confides his feelings to the young man, which causes a storm of turmoil to crash to life inside. He's sad that his master is upset, but he is frightened at the thought of freedom. He doesn’t tell the other servant about their master's feelings, but after several conversations with him he decides to support his master should he really wish to begin fighting for human rights.

~The galaxy has been under the storms of war for several generations, but at last a tentative peace has been put into place. Both side agree that losses have been too great, but peace is not too easily achieved. Skirmishes seem to break out daily along the boarders so much in the way of the Athenians the two sides decide to set up a series of interstellar games for combatants to burn off their lust for battle. Teams from each race begin training immediately, and rivals who had once met on the battlefield trade regular insults via telecoms and the like. It's time for the first games to begin, and in a show of faith, both races agree to stay in the same hotel ship. The luxury cruiser has all the joys of a small town built around the ideal of wasting time, so there is no shortage of pools, arcades, and the like. The games will last over a month, one competition every three days. The top players from each team had met many times in battle, and had a healthy respect for one another. Not that you could tell from their outward open hostilities. However after a few games, rumors of both sides trying to sabotage the games, thus throwing the two races back into war, forces the two top players to work together to make sure the games go off without a hitch. This means late nights patrolling the ship together, and forays into the darker side of their own races which rock the life long soldiers to the bone.

Magical Beast x Human

~A youth on his way home one day finds a wounded beast on the side of the road. The wounds do not seem life threatening so instead of taking it to an animal doctor, he takes it home instead. Sometime during the night or some time over the next few days the animal shifts to a humanoid form, much to the shock of the youth. The magical beast knows that this is a serious breach in security for his people and now must figure out what to do about this human.

~A runaway finds himself being stalked by something from the shadows. This goes on for several days until at last he finds out it is only a common animal. Not really interested in having a pet, he tries to make it go away, but during an event on the streets where the animal defends him from attackers he decides to just let the beast do what it wants to. He does not know that the creature is magical, and was sent by his people to protect this special young man.

~It is time for the magical beast to find a mate, and so he leaves his clan to seek one out. In a strange twist of fate he finds himself drawn to a human, and a male to boot. Getting to know the human he comes to realize more and more that only this man will do, and after being his faithful pet for over a week, the beast kidnaps his owner in the night, taking him deep into his clan territory where he will begin the long hard process of making this man his mate.

~The beast has always felt, just a little different from his fellows, and after a particularly bad incident with his pack mates he leaves for the nearest human settlement to let them cool their heads. There he comes across a young apprentice who is often mistreated by his fellow humans. Feeling a kind of kinship with the young human the beast worms his way into the young man's good graces and becomes his pet, the boy none the wiser as to the magical nature of the beast. After some time the boy decides to leave the settlement, tired of the treatment, and travels together with the beast, trying to find a place to call home. The best stays by the boy's side, however in their travels they often meet with other magical beasts that to not appreciate the beast's presence. The humans know nothing of the magical animals, and the beast must work hard with each clash he has with his clan that the boy never finds out.

~Magical pets are all the rage, the span of their powers and skills ever growing. The newest brand offers shape changing pets, and a youth wishes desperately to obtain one. It's doesn't have to be the newest kind, it doesn't even have to be very amazing or cool, he just wants any so that he's not the only kid in school too poor to afford one. One evening he finds an animal roaming the streets with the tell tale brand on it's inner ear marking it as a magical pet. After checking to make sure no one can lay claim to it, he takes it for his own. It turns out to be one of the new models, but instead of shifting between animals, this one can shift into a humanoid form. Still very much an animal, it must now learn how to pass as human if he is not to be taken away from the master he has come to adore. (In this I was thinking the pet would be an escaped prototype with no memories.)

~The prince has always gotten anything he's ever wanted, and as such, has become beyond spoiled. In one last attempt to turn the young master into someone deserved of his eventual post, the palace mage endows the boy with a magical pet. However the boy treats it like any other gift in his life and disregards it, not knowing the significance behind it. The repercussions for his actions are harsh and now the prince, along with his now quite disloyal pet, have to find their way out of the hell they have been dropped into. It will take quite a turn around for the youth to win the beast's trust and survive the ordeal.

Mage x Warrior

~In the time of machines and space travel, magic has become all but a myth. Unfortunately for one young soldier he's about to find out that all those old myths carry quite the bite. During his survival training he finds a young man asleep in the woods. Separated from his unit and unsure what to do next, he decides to consult the young man, thinking he must live in the area. The youth indeed lives nearby, though further away than the soldier could ever imagine. The young man, lost and without his memories, will take them both on a ride they'll never forget.

~Fighting for their right to exist, those born without magic gather in groups all around the country, in hiding from the normal, magical people of the world. Life isn't easy, and more than once a group is taken in the blink of an eye, wiped out of existence. The magical people are terrified that if these non magical people are allowed to survive that their non magical blood will pollute the rest of them and tear down the very nature of their world. To them, the non magical people represent a plague, and they are determined to wipe them out. The non magical groups live and grow knowing they can be attacked at any time and as such, they grow up learning to fight, carrying their first weapons as soon as they can pick them up. Curious, one of the magical people begins traveling alone, and finds one of the groups. Easily marked as a mage he is captured. While the non magicals are trying to decide what to do with their acquisition, the young man set to guard him becomes curious, and they begin talking. . .

~The land bound men and woman have always had a knack for weapons and combat, while the flying people of the skies have a natural talent for magic and incantation. Those people found high in the mountain, bound neither by the ground nor the sky have a talent for both. Each person is born as a beast, mammals of the land, fowl of the sky, and the rare dragon, wyvvren, drake, winged serpent of both land and sky. These people attain their human forms when they come of age, though they can convert back to them at any time, and learn to control their more animalistic instincts within a few years. Once they come of age they are sent to an island where they run wild, developing among others around their age. Once able to control themselves the youth instinctively seek the beach where they were dropped where others who have regained themselves gather and where adults come to pick them up and bring them home. There is one island for each of the tree types of races, and they are far enough apart that races do not have to worry about the youngsters meeting up with one another. Unfortunately for one youth however, on one of his regular flights the islands are struck by a storm and he falls to earth on one of the other islands. He is now in hostile territory, the races rather vicious to one another before they tame themselves, and sometimes even after.

~A long time ago both the Mystics and the Vahalin were driven off the main land by an invading force to the north. Already enemies with one another they settled on separate islands far off the coast of the mainland, and the invading force has been content to leave them be. However over the years both races have been making plans to retake the mainland. Generations have past, but the spirit and drive to take back their homes has not dimmed, and neither has the enmity between the two races. Fearful that the other race has already made headway, both islands act prematurely and end up with most of their first units to go destroyed. There are now only a few survivors, and they are scattered. A Mystic and a Vahalin meet while trying to find their own units. Will they try and kill one another, or will something even more amazing happen?

~When the Aluar come of age they are sent out into the world in small groups, sometimes even as small as a pair of youths. The human settlements on this planet are few and far between, and the wilderness is full of beasts and monsters. Some can be tamed, but most just want to eat you. The Aluar live deep in a forest, the forest doubling as protection, and almost prison walls. Only about 20% of those youth who leave ever return, but no one seems to question the tradition. Those who do returns are heroes and add their strength and knowledge to the community. Most are reluctant to speak of their trip at length, but two young boys have managed to wring a few fascinating stories out of their elders. They have looked forward to their coming of age for years, and now that they are about to make the journey there is no end to their excitement. To ensure they would be allowed to travel with just the two of them they grew up learning very different skills. Because of this training they have not seen each other in six years, but now that it's almost time to leave, the Mage who has done all of his training in seclusion with his master has come out into the light once more to meet with his childhood friend, a Warrior of remarkable skill.

~Flying is left to the best pilots. A young man has worked long and hard in the military to gain the right to fly his own airship. His childhood dream finally comes true after three years of service, and in no time he is taking flight on his own for the very first time. Unfortunately, a few of the other pilots whom were passed over for the position he now holds are disgruntled to say the least and have rigged his airship to malfunction. His first flights turns into a disaster as he is forces to crash land on an uncharted continent, and bad turns to worse when it becomes clear that the locals are not happy to see him. He has to flee for his life, taking with him from the crash only what he can carry. One evening a scouting party comes close to catching him, but by the good grace of one of the scouts he manages to elude them. In return the scout seeks him out, wanting to know about the land across the sea, the land where magic seems to be only a myth.

~The knight has fought long and hard in the war, and now the war is won. As traditions dictate, he is now the chosen one to marry the next in line for the throne. His deeds in battle has earned him the right, and to turn down the tradition would shame not only him, but also the royal family. The only child of the king and queen, the crowned prince, is not eager to be married off like this, especially to the hero of a war he never supported, and while he begrudgingly agreed that traditions must be upheld, he is more than a little unsettled at the idea of marrying a complete stranger, and a fighter to boot. His own interest run more towards the magical aspects of the world, and he's convinced that a soldier would never understand him.

~There are those who have magic, and those that don't. There is no real different between these two types of people, so far as science can tell. However, humanity has never been one for tolerating differences. A schism ha been slowly forming between these two different kinds of people since the very first signs of magic awakened in a human being, and now the distrust and fear has reached it's peak. A war has begun, and the world has divided down the middle. Those without magic have armed themselves with technology, however those with magic also know how to use tech. It seems like no matter what, those with magic will one day wipe out those without magic, but not everyone is willing to partake in this mass genocide. There are a handful of people who want to see this war ended, peacefully. Now all they need is to get each side to listen to the other. To that end, representative from both sides are selected and plan to seek out the neutral camps on the other side. On his way to a neutral non magical camp, a mage finds a wounded soldier from the non magical community. He believes in the war and resents what the mage represents, but the mage is unwilling to just let him die. He must now decide what to do with the wounded man.

~The trail has grown cold for the renegade wizard who fled the army for unknown reasons. A specialist is called in who's skills at tracking errant magical traces are second to none. He takes on the job on an outside contract for the local militia and sets out to find this AWOL magic user. Not a magic user himself he has to travel on foot to track his prey, and for several weeks the wizard is able to evade the bounty hunter, however eventually his tricks run out and he is captured. Will he be able to talk his way out of this, or will he become just another victim to the hunter and return against his will to his own version of hell.

~A captain's unit has been working far too long without a mage, and when the order comes down that a new one if going to be added to his unit against his wishes, he begrudgingly complies. He was close friends with the last one and when the new one joins them he wants nothing to do with it. The mage senses the near hostile feelings coming not only from the captain but the rest of the soldiers. Unsure of what else to do he does his job as best he can, but when the unit is ordered on a long term scout mission he grows nervous, and with good reason. They are set to go to the furthest reaches of the territory and patrol the border for three weeks. It will take at least a week to get there, and tensions run high in the group being so far from home. As an easy target, the mage finds himself taking the brunt of their frustrations, but he is determined to do his job. The captain does little to stop the bullying, but after a while he realizes that maybe this guy isn't so bad. . . .And perhaps he deserves better.

~Locked away for years in the cave of a elder dragon the young mage emerges after the beast's death to find the world a changed place. The once green fields are now stained red with blood, and the once peaceful people he was born from are at each other's throats. Unsure of what to do he begins traveling, trying to find someone who will tell him what's happened, however everyone he meets flees before him. While he was away, his race began a war with the people of the world, thinking themselves superior and have claimed themselves gods. The youth knows nothing of this, and does not realize it's his very appearance that is striking fear into everyone. He happens upon a warrior one day who does not run, and instead attacks. He defends himself using what he learned from the dragon and woulds the man. The warrior thinks he's finished but as the mage begins healing his wounds, he becomes mystified, not knowing what to make of this odd creature.

~Time magic is very temperamental. Everyone known this, but still the young time wizard pays no attention, thinking that he'll never make a mistake. He's just that good! However he is about to find out that he's not as good as he thinks he is. It's been two months since his last jump and he's recovered enough energy to have another go. Unfortunately his calculations are off and as he casts a fracture in time sends him hurtling back to a time before magic existed. He still has his power, but it's going to take a very long time until he has enough energy to return to his own time. In the mean time he has to learn how to survive in the ancient world, and ancient studies was never one of his best classes. Even if he manages to settle though, the fracture in time is still there, and wreaking havoc on the time line. If he can't figure out how to fix the mess he made, history itself may cease to exist. One of the local militia becomes curious about this newcomer, and after being accused of being a warlock the mage has to appeal to the young man's curiosity to save his life.

~The king came to the throne young, and as such his childhood was cut short. Though he had to give up many things when he took his station a few allowances were made, including hunting trips to the king's hunting lodge on the outskirts of his kingdom. On one such trip, made with as few guards as possible, he comes across a wounded man and decides to help him. The hunter has no idea just how important this man is, and being from across the border makes him technically an enemy. . .

~The king was killed during the war, and now a new king takes the throne. He was the best general, loved by all the soldiers and a man of unquestionable honor. However there are many factions in nearby countries that do not support his accession. His own people do not know him, and do not trust him, however after a night out with his fellows he finds himself on the wrong end of a sword. They are from the neighboring kingdoms and wish him dead without question, however together with a man who just happened to be passing by and spotting the king's predicament jumps in and helps take the men down. This king is grateful, wanting to reward the man, however the simple citizen was happy to help and seeks no compensation for his troubles. This intrigues the king enough to have him seeking the man out on subsequent visits to the town.

~A fire ravages a village in the king's kingdom, raising it to the ground. He goes to investigate and finds a handful of survivors, among them a warrior form the other side. The survivors claim they only live because he turned on his fellows and defended them, and the man himself claims that he could not abide the slaughter if innocents. The man is taken back to the capitol and kept locked up until his true nature can be ascertained. Unfortunately there are many who would love to see him dead, on both sides, and after a handful of attacks the king himself is put in danger, as he was visiting the warrior late at night. The warrior saves the king, earning him a bit of trust, however as long as the man stays, the danger still lingers.

~While visiting a nearby kingdom where the young king is suppose to be meeting his bride-to-be, he takes a night off from all the pomp and heads to town for a night cap. On the way back from the bar he is jumped by a group of thugs and kidnapped. While being held for ransom he is caged with a few others who are from rich families, save for one young man who was actually a decoy. The youth is quite skilled and one night he breaks all the prisoners out. The king has no idea where he is and the youth offers to take him with back to the town he was taken from, and from there he can make his way home.

~The king sends his sword to the blacksmith's to get repaired, however a day later he receives a note that the blacksmith refuses. Angered at being disobeyed by a commoner he heads to town to meet the man in person. The blacksmith is new, however it is the fifth time in as many months that the king has banged up his sword and he is tired of the man always expecting others to solve his problems, and his disrespect for his blade. He tells him as such, continuing to work and showing the king little respect. Infuriated, but unable to really do anything seeing as he is the only blacksmith for a hundred miles, he now has to figure out how to deal with this man who he can not even begin to understand as he is now.

~The winged people of the celestial city that have been the undisputed rules for as long as anyone can remember have very rarely married outsiders. Though they rule a vast area, the common people, those without wings, rarely even see their leaders. When they do pass among their people they hide their identities, their wings able to vanish at a moment's notice. A young king is tired of the day-to-day routine and decides to head out to check out “The little people”. He is attacked by thieves and left quite hurt, only to be found by a local farmer who takes him in and patches him up. The king is grateful, but has no idea how to repay the man, and after the attack, is slightly frightened of all commoners.

Pope's One-on-One RP Menagerie II

Hello all and welcome to my Menagerie! Here I have compiled a long list of RP and Couple ideas. If any of them seem interesting to you, give me a holler! Also, if you have any ideas of your own, feel free to drop by and put them forward!

For one-on-one I prefer doing RPs based around two male characters becoming romantically involved. Now, I'm not talking pure romance or anything like that, and in fact pure romance tends to bore me. I like good, long, drawn out plots with good writing and complex storylines. Also, I'm more than willing to do non couple centered RPs, however the hopeless romantic in me will most likely find a way to have a partner somewhere in the plot somehow. *Grin* I love good stories with my romance.

Proper spelling, punctuation, and grammar please and thank you!

I enjoy Fantasy most, but I can do Sci-Fi, Horror, and the occasional Modern. Not the best as moderns though. I prefer some sort of fantastic element, like mutants. Now let me explain what to expect below.

First, there is a section of simple couple types. For example: Demon x Angel, King x Commoner, and so on. The section right below that is a collection of actual story ideas ranging from simple to relatively elaborate. I'm more than willing to make changes if you find a plot interesting but wanna tweak it a bit. These plots have a romantic base to them. And finally, that smallish section at the bottom are my non-relationship based RP ideas. These ideas can have romance, but are not contingent upon it.

I think that's all for now. On a final note I just wanna say, I've been RPing for a very long time. Since the days of staying up late into the night with my Dad's D&D group to the day I discovered online RPing, I have searched for RPers I can rely on and who would stick with me to the end. I understand that RL can come in and mess up the best laid plans for our futures, but if you could at least send me a short message that you have to go on old before vanishing for weeks/months, that would be greatly appreciated. Also, I like longs posts. They are ideal, and the writer in me actually get's migraines when hit with one liners. So please, stick with me, and put some flourish into it! If you would like examples as to what I mean just ask, I can link you :P

(Note) I seem to have found the post length limit, but I need to add plots as they come to me. So please look at my second post to see more plot ideas as I will need to add my new ones there!

~~May want to take a bathroom break, this list is way than the list above.~~

Romance based/inspired plot ideas(But can be tweaked to be non-romantic)

Pairings there are not enough plots on to merit their own hider

~A youkai banished from his home finds his way into another youkai's territory. There he is captured by the youkai and things go from there.

~A man has the same doctor his whole life and eventually realizes just how much he cares for the physician.

~Elementals of opposing elements come together to battle one another, but they both weaken the other to the point where neither can fight. Nor can they return to where they came from until they are strong enough.

~A guy finds another guy passed out on the ground. Not knowing he's a part of a famous band, he takes the stranger home to care for him anyway. The band member is amazed that the guy helped him even though he doesn't know of his fame, and tries desperately to keep the fact from him. The band member must not only keep the man from seeing any public pictures of him, but dodge the paparazzi every time he wants to visit his new friend.

~Two newborn vampires meet one another during a party thrown by one of their masters. After which they try hard to see one another as much as possible.

~The boss's last three secretaries were females of less than satisfactory work ethics when it came to his person, so for a change her orders someone to find him a male secretary in hopes that he will be different. When the new secretary arrives, he becomes everything the boss could ask for. Only problem, the boss seems to be falling in love this time around.

~Two strangers meet in a VR game one night and find they enjoy one another's company. Traveling and questing together gives them time to not only grow stronger, but closer together.

~Through years of practice, the ghost has attained the ability to become corporal for short periods of time. One such time he is discovered by a person. In that short time, they become quick friends, but all good things must come to an end. Desperate not to frighten the person, he runs away before he reverts back into his non corporal state. They meet many time in the future, but each time the ghost hides the fact that he's not living.

~For a long time the detective has been hunting his man. But when he finally catches up with him, is it really the man he's been looking for? And is he really the one doing the catching, or is he the one in the trap?

~Since the beginning of time, Dream and Nightmare have lives separate from one another. But now, one is in trouble, and the other must find a way to break the barrier and restore balance between them.

~Death has spent his existence all alone in the space between worlds. One day an accident happens and a mortal stumbles into his realm. Having never happened before, not only does Death not know how to deal with this new development, he has no idea how to send the mortal home.

~Forming new magics sometimes have unexpected results. When a new creation comes to be from a failed spell with a mind and heart of it's own, what is the creator to do?

~Long ago, a being's light split from it's darkness, creating a whole new being, and throwing the world out of balance. Many centuries have past and now the imbalance has become far more apparent to both halves. Neither wishing the world to end, they must find a way to get along otherwise, existence as they know it, is doomed.

~Traveling the world as one of the unwanted, one of the unclean, the outcast at last finds a place where he can rest in peace. Alone and far away from the civilized world, the outcast believes he is safe from outside interference, but one day a stranger collapses outside his home. Caring by nature, despite the way he'd been treated his whole life, the outcast takes the stranger in. What will happen when the stranger wakes?

~Lovers of death and all things associated with the darker arts, the necromancer loathes the sunlight and the being that bask in it's warmth. One day he captures an elf sent to spy on him from a nearby kingdom. For some reason, instead of turning him into just another in his legions of the undead, he imprisons the elf in a room far from the sun's life giving rays. He does not know why, but something about the creature grabs his interest as nothing else has in well over a century, and he id determined to find out just what that is.

~A god escapes from the mystic realm to have a little fun on earth. He finds it in a mortal, but when it comes time to return home, the mortal's love causes him to hesitate. When the mortal realizes he's about to leave, he is saddened in a way the god can not understand. Slowly the god learns the mortal feeling of love.

~The court mage has spent many years serving his lord faithfully. One day on an outing with the lord and his family, he runs into a farmer who’s herds seem to be lost. Using his scrying talents, and with the lord's permission, the two set off to find the missing beasts.

~The samurai has fought in many battles over the years, and now has come to serve in the palace directly under his lord. Little does he know the interest that the lord has had in him for quite some time.

~The master has acquired a new slave, and this one seems to have quite a tongue in his head. Not one for harsh punishments, the master has to figure out a way to get the slave to do what he wants, without breaking the slave's impressive spirit.

Prince x Mix

~A new servant comes into the palace, this one with a sharp tongue. Acting with reproach when he spots the prince getting fresh with one of the maids, he catches not only the prince's wrath, but his interest.

~A ball is held for nearby princesses in hopes that the crowned prince will choose a wife, but instead he is drawn to one of the princess's brother. Using subtle, and not so subtle methods, he find excuses for the princess to visit in hopes that her brother will again accompany her. Over subsequent visits, he falls more and more for the other prince, but the other prince believes that the crown prince has fallen for his sister.

~A prince comes into the crown young, and his advisers insist he need to take a wife to secure his line. Turning down offer after offer, finally a young man comes to deliver and offer that catches his eye. The young man turns out to be the brother of the princess whom he is delivering the offer from. Insisting the prince spends the night, the young king does his best to woo the prince.

~Hired to steal into the castle and slay the kingdom's eldest prince, the assassin works to carry out his job. Upon seeing his target, he moves in for the kill. The prince awakens and convinces the assassin to spare his life. What is the price he must pay to keep his life?

~The prince has always gotten anything he's ever wanted, and as such, has become beyond spoiled. In one last attempt to turn the young master into someone deserved of his eventual post, the palace mage endows the boy with a magical pet. However the boy treats it like any other gift in his life and disregards it, not knowing the significance behind it. The repercussions for his actions are harsh and now the prince, along with his now quite disloyal pet, have to find their way out of the hell they have been dropped into. It will take quite a turn around for the youth to win the beast's trust and survive the ordeal.

~Out on the streets one night, a prince encounters a stranger who offers to buy him a drink. After several hearty serving, he offers to help the prince home. Along the way, the stranger pulls him into an alley and feeds on him. Not enough to turn him. Not enough to kill him. Instead the vampire lets the prince go. Determined to find the beast that bit him, the prince begins going out each night to hunt for it. He encounters the vampire several times, and each time, they get a little closer.

~The prince has always gotten anything he's ever wanted, and as such, has become beyond spoiled. In one last attempt to turn the young master into someone deserved of his eventual post, the palace mage endows the boy with a magical pet. However the boy treats it like any other gift in his life and disregards it, not knowing the significance behind it. The repercussions for his actions are harsh and now the prince, along with his now quite disloyal pet, have to find their way out of the hell they have been dropped into. It will take quite a turn around for the youth to win the beast's trust and survive the ordeal.

Youkai x Human

~A youkai travels from place to place, becoming weaker as he goes due to little rest or food. He's either hunted or simply searching for something. The youkai fall unconscious and is found by a human who brings him home to nurse him back to health.

~The fox youkai has always protected the local villages from anything he can, but over the years people forgot he even existed. Drawn deep into depression over not being loved like he once was, the youkai falls into a deep sleep inside a statue of his fox self in a small shrine deep in the woods. As the years go by, he slumbers, feeding the land with his sleeping essence and keeping it healthy and green. It's all he can do while he waits for his life to be given meaning again. At last one day he awakes, when his shrine is bulldozed over, crushing his statue. His sadness turns to anger and he begins causing accidents for the crew, some of them being badly injured. When he is at last caught, too weak to escape for a lack of food or offerings, one of the men takes pity on him. Unable to prove that he's actually responsible for the accidents, the authorities send him home with the man who, after feeding him, is shocked to discover that the fox is indeed not human. As part of a world forgotten, the youkai doesn’t know if he can fit into this world of technology and hard unfeeling cities.

~The people have long served an honored their deity, the phoenix. However they have no idea that it's actually just a very powerful youkai. No one has ever seen him directly, and when they have he's always been flying out of sight like a blaze fire on the wind. However, despite his protections, other youkai covet his lands and a group of them come together to remove him from his station. The phoenix falls to earth, beaten and broken, outside one of he major temples. The monks there do not believe him when he tells them who he is, and he is thrown out of the village for spouting heresy. One of the young monks however feels bad for him and takes him home. Once the phoenix feels well enough he holds the monk to his vows, made when he became part of the temple of the phoenix. As the lands begin to suffer, many people lose their faith in the phoenix youkai, and with the monk in tow, he must travel and renew their faith in his if he has any hope of regaining his throne form the hands of the youkai who are now tormenting his people.

~The youngest son of the pharaoh has always been shunted aside as a nuisance. His older brothers got all of the attention, and he spent most of his life alone. One day he decided to run away into the desert, but after a run in with a group of bandits, he is left for dead. It is then that a jackal youkai came to him, and offered to help him in exchange for his loyalty. He will aid the boy in any way he can, as long as the boy keeps him by his side. Thinking himself hallucinating, he agrees, and the youkai takes him to a hidden oasis. Once the boy is better he returns home, forgetting at first about his promise. He's reminded of it quite quickly though when he returns to his room and finds a nude man with jackal ears an tail resting in his bed. His dismay is soon turned around however when the man shows that he can indeed aid the boy in his endeavors and the youngest son soon begins getting more respect around the palace. Only he can see the youkai, who stays by his side almost every second of the day in one form or the other. However it isn't long before the older brothers begin to resent the young man and the first attempt is made on his life. Because of their agreement the youkai vows to keep him safe, but being unable to leave his side means he can't hunt. The prince must feed the youkai is he is to remain strong, and cater to whatever the youkai needs.

~Youkai live just outside the realm where humans dwell, but from time to time a tear appears and the two races come face to face. Throughout the years, the humans have responded with hostility. Frightened by the youkai's appearances and mannerisms, they have adopted a “Kill on sight” mentality for the non humans, and the youkai have grown to hate the humans in kind. However most youkai prefer to be left alone and do their best to avoid conflict. On one such occasion when the veil tears, a young hunter get trapped in the youkai's realm. He tries to stay under the radar, but he can't manage that for long, He breaks into a house, trying to hide from a group of enforcers. The occupant is less than happy with the invasion but despite his strong distaste for hunters, he offers to let him stay in exchange for stories about the human realm. The youkai has long been curious about the other realm, collecting everything he can on the subject. The hunter sees no harm in it, and the sight of the few human elements sitting around the youkai's home helps with his homesickness. The hunters in his team on the other side are angry, thinking that he had been captured, and begin planning a massive attack on the youkai realm.

~The only friends the boy had growing up where the youkai who would come visit him regularly. His father was an exorcist, but the boy never wanted to follow in his footsteps. However he was forced into training, and after a while the youkai stopped visiting him. Heartbroken over the loss of his only friends, and angry at his father, the young man focuses on his exorcism training and completes his training as the youngest exorcist ever. He works hard at his craft, trying to bury the pain, and soon every youkai knows his name, and shudders upon hearing it. He does not differentiate between peaceful and violent youkai, growing colder and colder, until one day he comes up against a humanoid youkai who is far too powerful for him. Luckily the youkai is bored, and has no desire to kill him. Instead he proposes making a pact with the boy. He will help him take down other youkai, more powerful ones, but in exchange he must leave the peaceful ones alone. Seeing it as the only way to save his life, the boy agrees. The youkai moves into the garden outside him temple, and he now must keep his father from finding out what he's done, and just what his new “Friend” is.

~The realms of light and darkness have fallen out of balance, and a youkai of darkness is sent to the human world to find out why. The human world is the center point between light and dark, and as such both sides keep a close eye on what's happening there. However the youkai can not figure out the source of the imbalance on his own and has to resort to taking on a human form and passing among the mortals. Even in human form he can feel that there is far too much light and tracks the source to a company. However as a human he can't just waltz right in, especially with several light youkai in human form guarding it. Instead he tracks one of the humans who works there home and in the night enters his body. He settles in the back of the man's mind and watches closely as the man goes to work like any other day the next morning. The man however is a low level worker and he gets nothing of use. Deciding to try someone else he tries to leave the man but finds he can't go more than a few feet away before his body freezes. He is now bound to a man who has no idea that youkai ever existed, and who doesn’t appreciate that he now must share his home and mind with someone who sees him as mere mortal, beneath his consideration and respect.

~The youkai feeds off of sadness and other negative emotions. He doesn't want it to be that way, it's just how he is. He's not ashamed of it, but he does wish that for once someone could be happy to see him. Other youkai are welcomed openly into people's homes, but youkai like him are forced to live on the streets, in the shadier parts of town if they want to survive. A long time ago, a wise man who saw that the war between humans and youkai would only lead to more and more bloodshed, cast a spell. This spell spread to every youkai and human, making it so that one could not live without the other. The youkai needed to feed off the humans' emotions, and the humans needed the energy they give off. This stopped the war cold, and ever since the races have gotten along very well. No one really wanted to keep around a youkai that needs them to feel bat to survive, so instead the sadness youkai spend their time going from slum to slum, trading their energy for some time around people feeling down. No none likes to think of this, so most humans pretend that the shady parts of every town don't exist. That part of town however is very real to him, and he's tired of it. Unable to take it any more he decides to just starve to death. However after a few nights without eating he comes across a man about to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge. The sadness of this man rejuvenates him and on instinct he saves him. This seems to upset the man even more, and despite the fact that he doesn’t like seeing people in so much pain, he can't help but wanting to keep the man alive, even if it's against his will.

~He has always lived as a village stray. Content to live off scraps thrown to him by the local vendors and occasional happy family who thinks he's cute, the youkai has felt no need to reveal himself to the world. Others of his kind had tried in the past, with steadily worse and worse results, until finally there was a silent consensus to never do it again. It's been a long time since the last one tried, and it's now considered a great betrayal to even think of doing it. However, soon after moving on to a new town to avoid anyone questioning how an animal could live so long, his contentment wavers. A boy passes under his sun bathing wall almost every day, and the youkai begins to notice that each day he had fresh cuts and bruises. Eventually curiosity gets the better of him and he follows the young man. Just outside his school in a back alley the boy is jumped by a pack of other boys. The ensuing scuffle adds to the injuries littering the boy's body, and the youkai's heart goes out to him. This happens several days in a row, in various places around town, and finally the youkai can't take it any more. In a back lot, away from prying eyes, the young man is jumped yet again and in a blaze of fangs and claws the youkai transformed and attacked the other youths. Once they had fled, he casts a glance at the boy before feeling and reverting into his animal form. He aid the boy a few more times without him being able to stop the youkai after the fight from running off, but eventually he starts to recognize the eyes staring down at him from above the wall nearly every day on his way to school.

~The amount of trash piling up at the bottom of his pond has become too much. A wealthy man hires a company to come and clean the pond on his estate, but on one of their dives they discover a strange fish. It seems to almost be sleeping, allowing for the men to just pick it up and show it to the wealthy man. He's intrigued by the find and after purchasing a large tank and fitting to mimic the pond, he has the men place the fish inside. The next day he comes down to find a nearly human young man sleeping at the bottom of the tank, the only signs that he's not human are scales around his wrists and ankles, and high pointed ear surrounded by a mass of green hair. When he at last wakes, he's overjoyed that the pond has been cleaned, but says he doesn't want to go back there. On a whim the man says he can stay as long as he likes. Unfortunalty for him the young man is a youkai prince, and his parents will not abide their son living among “Those filthy humans”. What follows is a series of aquatic based incidents that make the man question what's happened to his once perfect life.

~The hierarchy has always been very clear: Light and Dark youkai → Elemental youkai → Animal Based youkai → Humans. No one has ever questioned this. The ruling family consists of one Light king or queen, paired with a youkai of the opposite type and gender. The elder prince too, has never questioned this, but a chance encounter will change his mind. Having spent his entire life in the palace, the king decides that the young man needs to go out into the world and mingle with the beings he will one day rule. He is at first very reluctant, but accepts it as one of the duties he must perform as the heir apparent. While out in the world an event rocks his perceptions of the class system. There is a fire at a roadside inn, and to his astonishment several elemental youkai risk their lives to save a family of humans. One of the young air elementals dies in the blaze, and the humans morn his loss as if he were one of their own. When he finally returns to the palace the prince resumes he duties as if nothing is wrong, but on frequent trips into town to study the people more, he meets a young man who is more than willing to speak with the undercover prince about why things need to change, and how the word isn't as simple as he grew up believing.

~Fire is a living thing, or so he's always believed. In order to prove it to his classmates and professors the young man decides to try and summon the life from the flame. They all think he's stupid, saying there's no such thing as magic, but he will not be deterred. On the day of his report he prepares the room for the summoning, using summoning circles from old books and charts. The spell works, much to the class's amazement, but rather than summoning a little flame spirit like he thought he would, he brings forth a young fire youkai. In the transition the youkai lost all his memories, and latches on to the first thing he sees. That just so happened to be the boy, who is now stuck with the fire youkai until he can figure out how to send him back to where he came from. However things are made more difficult when his professor calls in the government and the two are forced to flee to keep the youkai from ending up on someone’s slab. Soon however news got out and there is a world wide man hunt for the youkai who, being non human, is seen as nothing more than an oddity to be studied.

~All he ever wanted to do was sing for people. Among his people, the young youkai could do little more than entertain young ones with his songs. But he wanted more. He wanted the world to hear his voice. Youkai are nothing but myths and superstitions at this point, humanity having grown beyond such ludicrous thinking, such as believing in magic and monsters. They still exist though, in secluded forests , mountains, and bodies of water protected by law. They chose these places to be away from humans, who have always reacted badly to the idea of not being the only sentient beings on the planet. However, with the support of his best friend, the two of them disguise themselves and head out to wow the world with their music. Playing on street corners before graduating to lounges and the like, it isn't long before their talents are recognized by a local record company and they are assigned a producer and manager, as well as a couple more members. The twins mesh with their sound very well, and the manager is rather kind and protective, but the youkai singer doesn't waste any time before coming head to head with the stubborn producer. Their idealistic differences have them at odds fairly often, and the others learn quickly to stay out of their ways. It is on one of these evenings during a storm when the two of them are left alone that the singer accidentally reveals what he is.

Demon x Human

~As his final test, an incubus is sent to force a Priest to break his vows. Need I say more?

~A demon goes to wreak havoc on earth, and in his wake a child is orphaned. Something about the child interests him so instead of killing it he takes it to a place where he can raise it. Eventually, the grown child falls in love with the demon. Much ensues.

~A demon incubus goes to earth to feed, but instead of finding a meal, he finds one who captures his heart. Angel, Demon, Human, doesn't really matter on this one.

~For many years now, the incubi have been biding their time, out of the lime light. They have hidden in that shadows, ducking the church and their demon hunters. However, the Incubus leader has decided it's time for the incubi to make a name for themselves in the demon community. They begin striking entire villages, leaving only orphans in their wake. One such orphan joins the church and years later, becomes a demon hunter. Younger than all other hunters, he is very reckless and one day finds himself facing down a fully grown incubus while defending a young woman. The incubus recognizes the boy from one of his other hunts years ago and the familiarity makes him hesitate. The demon hunter strikes, the woman flees, and the incubus can not fight back. For some reason, he welcomes the boy to kill him, and this sways the hunter in such a way that he can not kill him. Instead he locks the incubus into an abandoned abbey, and begins visiting it to talk, and learn more about this war the incubi started.

~One day, while feeding, and incubus goes a little too far, and drains the entire soul from the human he's feeding on. The child of the human comes in moments later and cries over it's parent's body. Feeling slightly disheartened at the sight, he takes the boy to a local orphanage, where over the following years he grows to be very curious over the thing that killed his parent. He becomes an exorcist, banishing evil daily in an attempt to find his parent's killer. When at last the two of them meet again, the incubus feels again the sorrow of what he did, and when the boy hesitates, he decides to take the boy with him in his travels. The boy at first protests, but as he gets to know the demon better, he starts coming to terms with the incubus's way of life.

~NY has never been the safest city, but as of late there has been a rash of mysterious happenings where young men have been found near death in alley's and hotel rooms. A young rookie is recruited on to the case for the simple fact that he seems to fall into the same physical category as the victims, and he resigns himself into being bait for the person responsible. He goes under cover, getting an apartment in the area that has been hit the hardest. After many fruitless nights, the team looses track of the rookie for three days. Meanwhile, on his way to the grocery store, the young man spots what looks like an attack on a young man from the neighborhood that the team had marked down as a possible victim.
After charging into the fray, he realizes he's way outmatched. The four incubi on the hunt subdue him easily, but the leader takes a special interest in the young man and decides to “Keep” him. After three days, in which the rookie was mostly in a haze, he turns up back at his apartment. The only sing of what happened to him, a small marking on the back of his wrist he can't seem to get off. From that day on, he begins having very intense dreams every few nights, which he eventually realizes, are real. (The incubus wouldn't actually force him, it's not his or his kind's way. However, there are other ways to go about extracting the energy they need. In other words all the victims were willing, they just, forgot :P It's how the incubi keep their feedings secret.)

~A detective gets put on a case where middle aged people have been popping up in hospitals in temporary comas. No one knows why, but after a week or so, all the victims have woken up with memory loss of weeks before they turned up in the hospital. The detective tracks their movements and concludes that the only thing they all had in common is that they all frequented a host club. Because of it's class, and the rich backers, he can't use his usual tactics, so instead, he goes in as a guest to ferret out the culprit. After a while, he finds that one of the hosts seems different from the others, and starts ordering him every time. They play a fun game of cat-and-mouse for the following weeks, making the detective very confused. He becomes more and more interested in the host, while simultaneously becomes more and more convinced he's the culprit.

Demon x Angel

~A demon travels to the neutral plain and finds a sleeping angel. As a joke he takes the angel to earth and places him in a spelled house that the angel can't leave. Fun ensues.

~A demon incubus goes to earth to feed, but instead of finding a meal, he finds one who captures his heart. Angel, Demon, Human, doesn't really matter on this one.

~The war between heaven and hell has been raging for centuries, and the soldiers no longer really have the fire that they use to. All thins seem to be out of duty, and loyalty alone. The earth has become rather desolate, humans having reduced to small compounds here and there across every nation. A few towns still survive on their own out in the wasteland and act as filling stations for travelers and caravans traveling from one compound to to the next. On one small town, a demon has taken up the position of an acolyte at the local parish. He has no interest in become a priest, but it's the best way to avoid fighting. He's tired of it. One day, an angel realizes that there is a demon the the church and rushes in to defend it. When he finds the demon, he is so shocked to see him working like a normal human being that he hides himself, taking up the guise of a human, and waits to speak with him privately. The demon confides in the angel, giving him his reasons for what he's doing, and pleads for him to let him be. The angel, confused, leaves the demon be, but he also as a true believer in the war, begins to question his own convictions.

~He'd become too complacent, and because of it, had been captured. Now, in heaven's prison, the demon lives his days dreading when they will next take him in for “Questioning” on hell's recent “Unusual activity”. He knows that there are no plans that threatens either heaven or earth, but who would believe the son of Satan himself? Perhaps the young prison medic who tends to his wounds after each session? The young angel eventually realizes he's in no danger around the demon and sends the guards away, who tend to hinder his work, and spends hours listening to the demon speak of his home, his adventures on earth, and his love of the written word. After becoming convinced of the demon's truthfulness, he can not stand to see him tortured so, and helps him escape. This makes him an exile, but rather than abandoning him on earth, the demon helps the angel adjust to living on earth, returning to hell occasionally to keep up appearances.

~After the last war, heaven and hell both signed an agreement to never go to war with one another again. They are far from friends, but now work to keep direct conflict to a minimum. Meanwhile, and underground movement in the underworld threatens the peace, and in an effort to stop them a young demon goes to a powerful angel, one who was born at the end of the war and lost his parents to it, and who is at least a hundred years older than the demon. The demon convinces the angel to aid him quietly in stopping the movement, but to do so he has to seal his angelic powers, and travel earth and hell itself with the youngster to ferret out the leaders of the movement, and their plans.

~Heaven and hell works to keep the balance, neither trying to get the upper hand, but neither backing down. It is how the world stays intact, and both realms need the earth. To that end, teams of two have been sent to the planet, one angel, one demon per team, to keep the rouge demons in check, and when necessary, take down any church gaining too much power from a divine in secret. A demon who has been on the job for many years one day mysteriously loses his partner and requests a replacement to help find her. The replacement is younger than he, and not only suspicious of the demon's hand in his prior partners disappearance, he also has a deep seated hatred for all demon kind due to a tragic happening in his past. Now not only does the demon need to find his missing counterpart, he has to deal with a partner he can not trust to have his back.

Vampire x Mix

~Out on the streets one night, a prince encounters a stranger who offers to buy him a drink. After several hearty serving, he offers to help the prince home. Along the way, the stranger pulls him into an alley and feeds on him. Not enough to turn him. Not enough to kill him. Instead the vampire lets the prince go. Determined to find the beast that bit him, the prince begins going out each night to hunt for it. He encounters the vampire several times, and each time, they get a little closer.

~A king just coming into the throne reads a letter left by his father, telling of an ancient evil trapped in a room of the castle, and how it must never be released. To spite his tyrannical father, and out of pure curiosity, the new king opens the door and releases the vampire trapped within. Instead of killing the man, the vampire offers him a deal. In exchange for his life, and the life of his family and servants, the king must let the vampire feed whenever and on whoever he likes without killing. The king agrees and the vampire becomes one of his advisers. The king being the only one who knows what he truly is.

~The vampire has reigned a long time over his substantial estate, watching over the many generation of servants that are born into servitude beneath him. One such youth grows to hate his bonds, and one day tries to break them by killing his master. Rather then angry at the boy attempt on his life, the old one is intrigued but the boy's passion. Sparing his life, the vampire keeps a lose eye on him, often bringing him to his study to talk. No other servant has been so unhappy as to try and slay him before, and the elder wants to find out what makes this boy different.

~Two newborn vampires meet one another during a party thrown by one of their masters. After which they try hard to see one another as much as possible.

~An order of priests have dedicated their existence to wiping out the scourge known as vampires One day one of the younger members is set out to take out a weak target. Finding the vampire in an abandoned church, he readies himself for the kill. At the last moment he freezes, unable to deliver the finishing blow. Now the priest must not only try and sort out this strange feeling that has blossomed in his chest, but figure out how to protect the vampire from his brethren.

~The priest has always been told that vampires are evil beings, like any other, and must be slain in the name of God. Still new to the hunt, the young man takes to the streets every night with his mentor to take down the creatures of the night. He is very satisfied with his work, protecting the innocent, until one day his master lets him out on his own and things take an odd turn. He comes across a wounded vampire, mauled by some other nightwalker, as the priests call all things they hunt, and is shocked when it seems to call upon god for protection from him. Overcome with curiosity he questions the vampire at stake point and he finds out that the different night clans have their own societies and religious beliefs, and are not the mindless creatures he's always been taught. Wanting to know more he takes the wounded vampire back to his church appointed home and locks it securely in the basement. There he keeps it alive on animal blood while he learns more and more how wrong he and his fellow priests have been for generations about the nightwalkers.

~The vampire and incubus clans have been semi friendly rivals since the dawn of their existences. A minor war here, a complete takeover there, nothing major. Surly nothing big enough to catch the attentions of the humans they live around. Most people simply think they are very odd night people. However the much less than friendly animosity between the werewolves and the necromancers has been escalating through the generations, and will soon come to a head. Unable to stay out of the battling any longer, all clans must choose sides and the two mostly peaceful clans don't like it. Their battles become more fierce, and raids more often. On one such raid a seasoned vampire finds a human being held captive by the incubi, and on a whim takes him as a prize. Unbeknownst to the vampire the human is the CEO of a very wealthy company and if he plays his cards right, he can avoid the war altogether. That is if the war doesn’t explode full force into the human side of things.

~Vampirism is a very curable disease, and after the incident several hundred years ago where the disease made it's was across the country like a plague, it has nearly vanished from existence. However not everyone thinks that the disease is a bad thing. A black market in the stuff has been making headway in selling it to rich people who wish to cure some ailment, or simply live forever. While long life is a side effect, the world government has illegalized it's use and has started a special task force to try and take down the people trafficking the disease. One detective is confident that the head of the multinational toy company “Immortal Dreams” is the one financially backing the market and meets with the man regularly to question him on the subject. The leader is indeed financially backing the market, but he has also become infected himself so he can continue making toys for children world wide. He will stop at nothing to make sure the children stay happy.

Elder Vampire x Newborn Vampire

~In a small New England town, a string of murders of travelers in the are has gotten the authorities a little on edge. They have no clue as to who has committed the murders, but are calling on surrounding villages for aid. Word reaches the freshly establishes vampire coven several miles away, and the details of the murders raises suspicion of it being a vampire doing the killings. Not wanting to loose their foothold in the new world, they dispatch someone to find out if their suspicions are correct. When he arrives, he finds living out in the woods a young vampire. It's obvious from his tattered clothing and blood stain visage that the boy was dropped after being turned, or even simply left where he'd been made with the maker having made no effort to raise the youngster. Taking the boy into his care, it is not the Elder's job to find out who made him, and stop him form doing the same in other villages, raising the alarm for the humans and ruining all the coven's hard work.

~A new breed of vampire is on the rise, ones that seem to be re-born with no sense of humanity. Ones who's very bodies reject their human features, and who seem bent on turning the entire human race against the night walkers. The vampires, unbeknownst to the increasingly frightened human populace, are leading the war against the new breed,by any means necessary. One day, an elder vampire doctor is brought a freshly killed female of the new breed for his experiments into a way to fix the breed's skewed genetic code. The female is at least twice the size of a normal vampire and upon examination he is shocked to find she is with child. Nor only are vampire children unheard of, the child looks to be around the human age of twelve. After extracting it he runs tests until finally deciding to wake the boy. It seems to have the appearance and genetic code of a normal vampire, and the elder thinks he is the key to the cure. The boy grows up in the lab, in his own little glass room, and over the years the elder begins treating him almost like a son. Unfortunately, his facility is discovered, and the elder must take the boy out of the lab and on the run to try and find a place to continue his work.(I was thinking we could either agree during the RP on time jumps, or we would start a couple days before the facility is discovered. Work in somewhere that the newborn or elder, or both, are starting to feel a different kind of affection.)

~Tired of a solitary existence, a vampire lord goes out one night and finds a young man to his liking, and turns him. After his re-birth the youngster severs his new master, but it doesn't take long for him to realize that that is not what the master needs. He sees the disdain the master has for the other obedient servants and decides to try and figure out what the master wants. He drags the master outside at night, to look at stars, or go into town for night events and festivals. He mouths off to some of the more assholic guests at his master's parties. Furious at first at the young one's actions, he punishes him, but over time, he begins realizing that things are getting more fun with the boy around. He thinks perhaps he's found what he's looking for.

~Turning someone is never an easy decision, and this elder vampire is becoming quickly convinced that the last one he turned was a bad idea. The man doesn't seem to be able to control himself and goes through several people a night, leaving each half dead, but never draining them all the way. As the elder puzzles over this, the newborn struggles desperately with himself. His instincts tell him to feed, but his heart will not let him kill. I knows his sire is confused as to why he takes so many, but fears telling him of what he sees as the last flicker of humanity raging inside him.

~An attack on a vampire elder's estate leaves him alone and without his many children. He'd loved each and every one of them, and like any man who's lost everything, he seeks two things: Revenge, and oblivion. After wiping out the town responsible for the attack, he decides to also hunt down the order that instigated the townsfolk into attacking. He becomes very skilled at killing the vampire hunters, and soon it almost becomes routine. One night, during a particularly hard slay, he is wounded badly and takes refuge in an old abandoned abbey. The next morning a young man comes to the abbey and startles the elder, who on instinct drain the young man to near death. Something about the boy makes him unable to take his life fully, and instead he turns him, making the boy his new child. Unable to live on his own now, the boy stays with the elder, trying to understand not only his new existence, but the elder's crusade. The elder tires desperately not to care for the young one, unwilling to open his heart to the pain of loss again, but perhaps his heart of stone can be crumbled by this new life he's brought into this world.

~The vampire has ruled over his own little city for years, but now he wishes to take over the entire territory. But rather than starting a war, he decides to buy, barter, and bribe control of the smaller provinces, and make deals with the larger ones, promising rewards should they not get in his way to take over. The king gets a whiff of the elder's plan, and with only rumors of what he really is to go on, hence no firm footing the convince his people not to side with the vampire, he instead sends out one of his trusted subjects to survey the matter. He is to either find out a way to stop him by proving the lord is a vampire, or to take him out of the picture all together. The man slips up in his investigation and is captured by the vampire. The elder decides the man would be useful, so he turns him, which makes the man automatically submissive to the elder's will. However, he still feels his loyalties to the crown and tries to fight against the elder's wishes when and where he can. However, after a time, even his human loyalties begin to falter when he realizes the vampire isn't as bad as he grew up believing all vampires are.

~A newborn vampire traveling alone comes to a town run by a rather unsavory band of vampires. Soon after being inducted into their ranks a vampire lord comes into town and wipes them all out. They had drawn too much attention to themselves and he was under orders by the council to take them all down. However, when it comes to killing the newborn, the honest fear an innocence in his eyes gives him cause to pause. Instead of killing him he takes the youngster into his care and tries to take assignments away from his co-workers so they won't spot the boy and report it back to the council. Unfortunately, one day he's forced to kill one of his allies because he threatened not only to tell the council, but to kill the boy. Having come to like the kid, he can not stand by and let him do it. This act makes him a fugitive, however he doesn't want the boy caught up in it and tries on many occasions to convince the boy into leaving for his own good, but the newborn feels that he can not make it on his own, and also feels responsible for the current situation. So despite the elder's efforts, he stays by his side and does what he can to keep the both of them alive.

~A young upstart vampire, only a few weeks old, but with a group of followers already, decides he wants power and decides to try and take over a territory held by one of the oldest vampires known. No one has seen the vampire in ages, but his servants and slaves keep the property neat and tidy, and defend the territory when threatened. Wanting to do things quickly, he takes it upon himself to enter the estate and cut off the head of the snake so to speak. This is no small task, but once he finds the elder and is ready to strike, the elder shows him why he has reigned over such a large territory for so long. Over the following weeks he teaches the how to respect his elders. However, the elder has begun to grow tired of ruling and begins pondering the idea of a successor. Perhaps leave the estate to someone else, after proper training, and travel the world. Perhaps the kid has some potential. . . . .

~An Elder vampire finds a newborn Vampire abandoned on the steps of a church, covered in scars ad open wounds. Figuring that the locals must have dumped it there hoping the priests would finish it off, he almost leave it there too, uncertain if the church was connected with the local vampire hunter guild. However the newborn spots him leaving and can sense he's one of his own. His will to survive overrides the pain and he tries to follow. Finding the sight too pitiful, the elder takes him under his care. Little does the elder know that the newborn is actually an escape from the vampire hunter guild where he'd been used for experiments and training for over a year. Before turning he'd been a petty thief, and the guild itself had used a vampire’s venom and blood to make him. Once the young one finally tells the elder of how he came to be, the two of them work together to stop the guild from such cruelty.

~Vampires are considered pure myth in this modern world, but what happens when one night an unsuspecting wakes in an abandoned warehouse with nothing but a throbbing pain in his neck as a hint to what's happened the night before? Sunlight feels like white hot fire, and he can feel a gnawing hunger growing stronger deep within'. He manages to make his way home the following night, but his hunger causes him to attack one of his family members. As he feels the scene, and stranger steps out from the dark and offers to help him with his little problem. The elder employs him at his night club, and teaches him how to survive in modern society as a mythical being. The nightclub itself is a kind of hub for the underground community, and there he gets to meet some of mythologies most interesting beings.

~With only a vague idea of what it means to be a vampire, a newly re-born to the night young man sets out to try and survive in a world where his very existence is considered unacceptable. Everyone knows his kind exists, but much like the witch trials, the public isn't all that good at spotting them. He soon passes through a town where a vampire has been captures and the village is getting ready to burn him at the stake. The vampire looks very young, barely into his teens if that, and feeling sorry for him, the newborn charges in and rescues him. The little one is slow in recovering, but after a few weeks of traveling and dodging hunters and crazy villagers, he returns to his full strength. To the newborn's surprise he wakes next to the little one having sprouted up into a full grown man over day. He explains to the young man that when he grows weak, his body shrinks to conserve energy, and that he is actually quite old, bordering on ancient. He also reveals that the only reason he was caught is he's determined to prove to the world that vampires are the evil creatures that they've been raised to believe. The newborn likes the idea of a world of peace between vampires and humans, and decides to help the elder in his mission.

~Humans have grown too arrogant, claiming to be far superior to all other races. While the elves simply blow them off, and the dwarfs cut off contact with them, other races decide to try and knock them down a notch. To that effect, an elder vampire catches the young king of one of the largest kingdoms alone one night in the palace gardens and converts him before kidnapping him. Forced to serve his sire without question, the young king travels the world with his new master and discovers what his way of thinking has done to the beings in his land. The dissent and racism has turned his one beautiful land into a veritable war zone, and many a young one will grow up without a family because of it. After the lesson, they return to his kingdom and the king now feels the need to stop the fighting, and perhaps with the elder's help, he will succeed.

Vampire x Human

~The kingdom of Isar is not the happy place it use to be. Within it's closed boarders a darkness has grown, and if it wasn't for the regular trade with it's neighboring countries no one would know what's happening within it's depths. Two generations ago a powerful Vampire Lord took control of the kingdom, naming himself king and imprisoning the royal family. The youngest daughter grew to womanhood and after a failed escape attempt with one of the guards she turned up pregnant. After the child was born it was taken from his to be raised by the servants, all now loyal to the Vampire Lord. However, after reaching the age of accountability, he finds himself more able to explore the palace and winds up in the dungeons. There, the only other member of the royal family still alive, his mother, tells him who he really is. He doesn't know what to believe, and now must decide if he is to remain as his lord's faithful servant, or reclaim his throne as rightful heir. (Or work out something in between :P)

~While slavery between the human races have come to an end, those of non human status are free game on the market. Vampires are rare and particularly sought after, but not just for their beauty. Once a vampire is sold and fed the blood of their masters for seven days, they are bound to that human and must serve them for the rest of their existence, sometimes even passed down through generations within a family. However there is a resistance. Small and scattered groups of immortals and other creatures vow to remove their bonds and to one day either become equal with humans, or to wipe out humanity so they they can live free. The unofficial leader is a vampire who has survived for many generations feeding off of different humans and on occasion other non humans. However, a particularly powerful human has decided that he's been free long enough and vows to enslave the vampire leader, making him his own.

~Scientists have worked for hundreds of years to build the perfect soldier. Implants, neural enhancements, even gene manipulation, all to create the perfect killing machine and soldier. War has almost become a pastime for the planets in a fairly expansive solar system. The system is off limits for travelers, but the occasional ship does make it through the barricade to make deliveries or return to their supply depots. One such delivery provides a scientist with exactly what he needs to create what he believes will be the perfect soldier. He injects his creation into a young test subject, transforming it from a normal teenager into a fierce killer. Enhanced strength, eyesight, reflexes, and unprecedented healing abilities. Perfect, save for the built in control device. If the subject doesn't consume blood laced with a particular additive every three months, it will die. Before he can train the boy properly, it escapes on to an out going cargo ship and the lab can not track him. The cargo ship is small, with a crew of one, and the man must decide what to do with his stowaway.

~They just want to live their lives like anyone else, but integration of radically different people has never been easy. It has been several years since the wall dividing the two races came down, but things are still a mess. The wall had been built several generations ago to forestall war, but after the last set of peace talks a treaty was signed by both sides, and the leaders agreed to try and guide their people into living with one another peacefully. However the vampires, who had lived in such a small place for so long with very little to eat, are having a hard time not feeding on everyone in sight. As for the humans, it's always been in human nature to shun that which is different from themselves. To keep the peace a group was founded by both humans and vampires who operate outside the law. They have license to kill anyone of either race who insist on disrupting the peace, and work in teams of two. One Vampire and one Human per team, and most often neither of them is happy about working with the other.

~Tired of living in the dark, dirty places of the world, a group of vampires band together and begin a quiet war. In the time of lords and kings, the vampires are positive that if they can turn enough influential people, they can climb out of the dark and into the light, figuratively of course. Most people do not even believe int heir kind, and with the wars breaking out every couple years between one family/nation and another no one is paying very good attention to the slow takeover of minor nobles. However one particularly headstrong vampire makes his way into the palace of one of the most powerful kings of the known world. He is new to the throne, but beloved by his people and with a youthful unjaded view of the world. When the vampire reaches the kings chamber, instead of changing him out right, he has an idea. Faster, stronger, and more agile than the young king, he makes it clear that the boy has no choice but to listen to the vampires proposition.

~A young king, fearing for his kingdom, calls upon the dark arts to aid him. He's always been sick, and none of his physicians can tell him why. His kingdom boarders two others that hate one another and it's only through their friendship with the young king that they haven't gone to war with one another yet. His fear fro his people is well founded as the battlegrounds would end up being his own lands, so in his desperation he delves deep into the books on black arts and finds a summoning spell. The spell is said to summon a being who can identify and cure all ailments. After a year of preparations, he's at last ready to activate the spell. When the smoke clears, the being standing before him is nothing like he imagined. The vampire however is a bit miffed at being summoned by a dabbler, but concedes to heal the boy anyways. It will take quite some time for him to clean the young kings blood, but until he does he must stay in the palace, much to his advisers' horror.

~The young vampire prince has always gotten his way, and as such has become rather spoiled. As the only son of the king since his wife died and he refuses to take another, the king is hesitant to punish the boy. However after a particularly unmentionable incident involving a human maid, the king banishes his son into the world for five years to learn a lesson. Without his station, money, or anything to aid him save for his natural and unused talents, the prince has to learn to live around the very creatures he's grown to loath over the years. Seeing them as weaker, and less than himself, he gets off on the wrong foot right off the bat and has to flee from his home city to avoid being put in jail. As he traverses the countryside he comes across a wanderer and tries to convince him to let the boy feed off him rather than forcing himself on the man. Knowing of vampires superior strength he agrees to feed the boy as long as he works for it. The wanderer is a trader who travels from town to town to sell his wares, and extra arms means bigger sales. The prince agrees to help, but is determined to find a way to escape the arrangement as soon as possible.

~The boy spent his young life passed from parish to parish, kept in the dark underground areas away from the sun. He never knew what he was, being treated like any other child in the church. Save for the tonic he had to take once every day, he learned, played, and even slept with the other kids. He longed to see the sunlight, only knowing of it's existence through the scriptures and the other children's drawings. One day in his young teen years, physically at least, he found his way up into the church proper and at the first touch of sunlight felt his flesh burn. The pain transformed his face into one of dark rage, his eyes glowing red, canines and cuspids growing long and sharp, and it was then that the priests could keep it from him any longer. In the cool depths of the church they told him what he was; and abomination and and affront to God. When at last they finished explaining everything to him, they told him he had to die. Unable to accept oblivion so easily he escaped into the world just as the sun began to fall behind the horizon. No one in this world knows that vampires are very real, so on the fifth day after his escape when he climbs through an open window into someone's apartment the sole inhabitant thinks him just and intruder. Starving, cold, and in great internal turmoil, the boy attacks the man, feeding on him until he passes out. The attack drains him as well and he falls asleep beside the unconscious man. The man now has to figure out what to do about the vampire in his living room, and with no idea about the secret war between the clergy and the vampires, he has to figure it out quickly.

~Over the years vampires have learned to disguises themselves as many things, including animals. In the post apocalyptic world where people live in large walled off areas around a central uncontaminated water source, a pet is a precious luxury. Vampires have found the perfect niche in society as pets, and after feeding from their human enough, they from a bond that can not be broken. This allows them to revert to human form in front of their masters without having to worry too much about being thrown out, or worse, killed. One such vampire has just lost his master of several years and seeks out a new one. He's rather adventurous so when he sees one of the rare desert walker parties that work for the government making deliveries between settlements he decides to tag along with the caravan. He has to select a master quickly, but even after becoming bonded to his new master, all things are not well with the world. This new master hates his kind and now he has to make a choice. Starve to death, spend the rest of the human's life as a cat, or try and convince the young man that vampires aren't so bad.

Third Time's The Charm ~ PopeAlessandros x Jiskastya

As he rambles on Kir-Kon notices that he's not really getting any kind of response out of the beast and he begins to wonder if one of the ropes had been pulled too tight or snagged on something and killed the creature. The only sign of life a black something or other that seems to be coming from it's body and moving ever so slightly. “What is it you have there anyways? Are those ropes causing you trouble? Maybe I should take a look.” With that he takes a step forward, careful to keep his voice soft and his movements slow. He remains upright so it doesn't look like he's stalking the beast. As he gets a little closer he is able to better discern it's size and shape.

'It looks like a dog almost, but so much bigger. It may even be bigger than me. It could have done a lot more damage if the ward hadn't been in place. I know frightened dog normally attack and I can only imagine being tied up like that. Does. . .It not have any eyes?” It can barely see the beast's head, but what of it he can see doesn't show any signs of bearing eyeballs. The tendril thing now makes more sense. [i]'I bet he's like a moth or a bat or something' He muses, pausing several paces away in case it starts seeing his closeness as a threat. “We should really get those off you, they don't look very comfortable.”

He of course does not expect a response but it feels better to at least say something that makes a little bit of sense rather than just odd words and phrases that come to mind. Moving one step to the side he notices he can see the monster fairly well and with a faint sigh he crouches down, taking a seat to wait a few minutes. 'I have work to get to, and I only have a little extra time from it's foray into the village to get to it. I would count it a blessing after the morning I had, but I may very well be part of the problem as to why it could get in in the first place, so I have that possible connection to look forward to. If the new elder realizes I went into the woods right before this thing went in, she may make the connection, and my life may become more of a hell than it is already' He keeps up his low murmur of words as he waits.

Never Ending Battle ~ PopeAlessandros x AkiBlue

The mumbling stops when at last the prince decides to speak up and Akito does his best to lift his gaze, at least a little bit, an listen to the man with full attention. He's sure somewhere in there he said something odd or embarrassing, however as the prince simply kept smiling he figure is must not have boon too bad. He nods slowly in agreement with both the need to find the good in their situation, and that eventually someone else will be around to help him learn. 'I bet he really looks forward to that day, when he can pawn be off on others and have his time back to himself. I know royals have responsibilities, but by his won word he live a life more of leisure than of duty'

He knows once the prince becomes king that will change, however as such a though as ruling at his side threatens to make his catatonic he dispels those thoughts for now, instead focusing on the prince and his words while staring at his chest. Noticing him looking away however he glances up, the follows his line of sight, leaning ever so lightly to see around the taller male. When attention returns to him however he straightens up and goes back to staring at the young man's torso. When motioned forward he complies silently, following behind the taller man with smooth even steps. He is quite curious to see what the prince can do. On the battle field he'd learned to work around huge goughs of flame and freezing ice spears, but other than that he has no idea what one would use magic for.

When the prince pauses and asks him if he wants to see he is confused for a moment, thinking that he'd already consented, however after a brief moment he pulls his gaze up to look into the man's eyes and says quietly, “I would love to see your magic.” For a brief moment the prince goes from intimidating monarch to giddy child and Akito manages a small smile before they are off again. He bows lightly as he passes the prince who opens the door for them, watching him scramble about the cluttered room trying to make a space fore him. He murmurs a thank you and takes a seat in the newly cleared space, letting his eyes drift about the room for a few seconds before refocusing on he betrothed.

He keeps his eyes locked on the candle as he takes his place across the table from the soldier. 'Fire and light, two of the most destructive and life giving forces. I wish I could use magic. . .' While anyone can do magic, since he knows he does not have the aptitude Aki knows his wish is an idle one. He watches closely, instinctively wanting to warn him not to burn himself, however his instinct is quickly overridden and he simply watches with a wide, fascinated expression. “Huaaaa. . .” he utters in amazement at the man manipulates the flame. The sound he makes is the same as when he is looking at beautiful art.

His eyes narrow at the sudden light but he doesn't look away, not wanting to miss even a second of the demonstration. As such, it takes him a few seconds for his vision to return to normal after the light vanishes. Ce claps lightly, an honest smile on his lips, a look of amazement in his eyes as he looks to the prince. “That was amazing. Most magic I've seen has been trying to kill me. . .That, that was just beautiful. . .” He murmurs the last word, looking down at his own hand's resting in his lap, the fingers laced together. His tone is honest and his smile genuine. Glancing back up at the prince he can feel a kind of calm settle, knowing that they at least have one thing in common. He may not be able to practice it, but he finds magic fascinating.

We'll take the low road.

Heheh, poor befuddled demon :P

The Power of The Fallen ~ PopeAlessandros x AkiBlue

As soon as all the animals are past Kuro closes the gate and makes his way towards the barn. Dani flashes past him, snapping at the beasts before settling in the doorway, his haze locked on the place where he can sense the demons. Kuro slows his own breathing, feeling the energy about them rising as Dani prepares his attack. Smiling at Aoba he chuckles softly. “It's okay Little Mouse, we'll handle it, you just take care of you livelihood.” With a wave he sends Dani off, following much more slowly, ready to offer back-up support should he need it. 'Dani may be stronger than I, but he's still reckless as ever. . .' Taking a seat on the fence he waits and watches, knowing he'd just be in the way if he tried to rush in now.

First one gets grounded, then Dani get's hit hard from the side only to recover and continue on. As the female falls, her own blood drowning her, Kuro tenses. 'That's not good' He watches as the other three come all at once for Dani, their formation perfect. He is too busy killing the first demon to bother to look up and see this and Kuro gets to his feet as all three manage to land hard blows to his older brother. He snarls, letting out a short howl to distract them, however they ignore the wounded demon. 'Damn. . . Well, he can take them, but he's gonna need some doctoring of his own if. . .' His head snaps up as what sounds like a firework booms and crackles overhead.

It takes a moment for Kuro to recognize the noise but when he spots the fireball heading for the tussling ground in the middle of the pasture he smiles warmly while rolling his eyes. Moving as fast as he can without breaking open his wounds the youngest brother races forward to put out any fires his sightless sibling inevitably is going to leave behind. The three remaining demons look up at the sound as well, giving Dani a chance to knock them back and regain his feet. Hissing he jumps back as what appear to be flaming discs come whipping out of the fireball to take down all three at once. Flopping down Dani grumps and licks at his wounds, pouting that he didn't get to have more fun.

Kuro quickly outs out the now toasty demons, watching as Homura prepares for one of his spectacular crash landings. 'Honestly, blind demons should not be allowed to fly!' Not needing the added bonus of the inevitable crater that would follow such a crash the youngest brother darts forward and manages to catch the blind demon before he hits the ground. The force of the landing cracks a few of his healed ribs and with a groan Kuro falls to the ground, his big brother laying atop him with a big grin. Dani bounds over, laughing at the pained noises before pawing at Homura. The slightly taller demon hisses and settle in, content to just lay on Kuro until he's ready to move.

“Hello little brothers!” He chirps, poking at Kuro's face and reaching out for Dani. Dani fist snaps at the outstretch fingers but Homura flashes him a glare making the younger sibling comply. Homura runs his fingers of the smaller male's face and smiles. “Still pretending to be a baby, huh?” Dani snaps again, tacking his older sibling off the prone Kuro. Finally able to breath properly Kuro reseals his ribs and sits up. While Homura and Dani are busy Kuro disposes of the corpses with his black flame. Since he didn't kill any, he doesn't take any body parts from them for charms, instead just turning them into nutritious ash.

Sighing he looks over just in time to see Homura reaching for one of Dani's wings, a vaguely panicked look on his face. “Dani, back!” Tugging on the leash to make sure the smaller male heard him he races over, wrapping his arms carefully around Homura to keep him from freaking out. He envelops them both in his own black flame, the older male finding fire soothing, and hopes it will be enough to calm him down Dani goes back to licking his wounds as Homura leans into his brother, loving the feeling of his black flames dancing across his surprisingly flame retardant skin. Kuro has the hottest flame in hell, or anywhere for that matter, and Homura is the only being he can not burn.

Turning around in Kuro's embrace Homura wraps his arms around his brother's neck and gives his cheek a kiss. “Hellooooooo brother!” He raises an eyebrow, clearly expecting a response this time.

With a long sigh the youngest sibling replies, “Hello brother, what the hell are you doing here?” By his tone it's clear he is both dis interested and quite interested in his big brother's reply.

The slightly shorter male opens his mouth to respond only to freeze and sniff the air. Kuro curses under his breath as the wind shifts, bringing the scents from the direction of the barn to them. Animals aside, something as pure as the angel leaves a definite taste on the wind. His white eyes go wide and he lets go of Kuro, slipping out if his grip to take a few steps towards the barn. Dani snaps and jumps up, racing to block his path causing the silver haired male to pull up short. “No! Not yours! You stay away!” Homura's eyes narrow again but Dani does not budge.

Kuro lets out a faint sigh, not in the mood to deal with a fight right now. Tugging on Dani's leash he watches the boy yelp and grab at his back. Dani glares at him. “Kurotama, he'll tell, he;s a little tattle tale and they'll take him away, and he's not theirs! He's m-”

Kuro cuts him off. “Now that he's up here there is no hiding him from Homura, you know that. Now be nice or his will run home and tell. Got it?”

As Dani grumbles the oldest brother present whips around to look at the youngest. “You have him on a leash!? Pops is gonna kill you!” Even muffled by his normal face cover he wears in public it is clear that the frail looking male is actually a little disturbed by the idea.

With another sigh Kuro wraps an arm around his small shoulders and presses a kiss to one of the only exposed bits of flesh on the male, his temple. Homura croons much like their father does under affection and leans against his taller younger brother. Speaking softly Kuro poses a reasonable proposition to his dear fire loving older brother. “Yes, what you sense in the barn is an angel, a fallen one, and if you go blabbing to Pops and the rest, they will take him away, and corrupt him, and most likely, kill him. However! I know how much you've always wanted to examine one, and if that happens, you'll lose your chance to do so.” Rubbing Homura's back he murmurs, “Of we keep him a secret, you can come see him and examine him almost whenever you want, and he'll still be an angel, and not just another twisted thing. Alright?”

Homura paws and shifts while Kuro talks, looking very much like he's ignoring the taller male, however when he finishes speaking it's clear that he was listening the while time. “It get it, no need to worry. If I can really get a good look at an angel, I can keep my mouth shut. . .” He lets out a sigh, standing up straight and looking straight into Kuro's eyes. “You do know they are going to find out eventually right? We're not stupid, even when you were diving that giant trench in the middle of the ocean, we knew where you were and what you were up to. Once Pops is back to his old self and. . .That reminds me, why was he happy after you left?”

Rolling his eyes he pats the silver bedecked head and just shakes his own. “If Pops thinks you need to know, he'll tell you.” Homura looks to Dani who shrugs and shakes his head. Though they all torment the crap out of their littlest brother, he is the most trusted out of all of them. As such, as they make their way back to the barn Dani remains calm, trusting that Kuro would not be letting Homura see the toy if he didn't trust his word. Homura is inwardly giddy at the idea of meeting an angel. More of a burden on the battlefield than a boon he's never been allowed to take part in the fights against heaven. Which Kuro sees as unfair since he has excellent aim despite the blindness, and it is that sentiment among others that makes the hot head trust his baby brother so much.

Once at the barn he whispers, “Keep your energy in check. He may be fallen, but too much demonic energy still makes him sick. Also, no matter what Dani thinks, Aoba doesn't belong to anyone and is not a pet, so just talk to him like you. . .” he has to think about it a moment. “Talk to him like you do Issho.” Homura looks baffled at the comparison but doesn't object. Opening the barn door Kuro slips in first, Dani bounding after to tell Mama all about what just happened. The eldest sibling stays in the doorway, waiting for the all clear before coming forward. He can already feel the faint holy energy coming from the area and he doesn't want to have to pull down his mask to upchuck. He takes the time waiting to get his digestive track under control.

Spotting Aoba in the pen with Mama and the newborn Kuro sighs and walks over to stand next to Dani, leaning on the fence. Ignoring the babble coming from the smaller male perched on the fence he smiles warmly at the angel. “Well, Dani took out two of the five, then. . . Well, someone showed up and showed off, taking out the other three so we're clear for now.” Dani snorts to stifle a giggle at Kuro's accusation of Homura showing off, the noise coming at the same time as a “Hmph” by the door. Kuro suppresses the urge to roll his eyes and goes on, holding out a hand to help the angel out of the pen. “We lost a little grass, but it should be fine. It got some fertilizer out of the deal, so we're good there.” Once Aoba is at his side Kuro slips an arm around his waist, knowing the angel can likely sense the extra demonic body.

“Also, about the someone. . . .” He lets out a sigh, motioning towards the door. “Little mouse, this is Homura, my older brother, sixth child of Satan. . .” Homura ducks out of sight, his shyness kicking in now that he's been introduced. Dani scoffs, having finished his retelling and now watching the meeting. Rolling his eyes Kuro lets go of Aoba and instead wanders over to the door to retrieve his big brother. Like a shy child Homura latches on to him, hiding his face in Kuro's shoulder as he's escorted into the barn. “He's less bloodthirsty than Dani, so he's a bit safer to be around, but he's blind, so move slowly around him so you don't startle him.” Dani does not object to the idea of being less safe than his older sibling, taking it as a compliment. Homura peeks at Aoba every few seconds, his unseeing eyes takeing in little details that only his eyes can see, the barn itself all but invisible, and the animals simply small glowing specks of life.

We'll take the low road.

As Illiendi comes to a halt Amano stops and turns to look at him, tilting his head curiously to the side. 'I wonder what is wrong. Normally he simply follows along. . . Well, perhaps he didn't expect me to be so okay with the idea of burning in hell?' He catches the look between himself and the flower and his head tilts a little further to side as he tries to understand what the demon is thinking. Normally he is very good at judging people, however when it comes to Illiendi he finds himself mostly unable to get an accurate reading off of him. The narrowed eyes are easy enough to understand and he smiles warmly, turning and continuing on his way once the taller male looks ready. It was only a few brief moments but it helps Amano understand that it isn't just love that confuses the demon.

They walk on in silence for a time and Amano lets the sea air wash over him, blowing away a bit of the musty smell from the shop. He enjoys both scents, but as he is to be soon one the sea for a good number of days, he decides the smell of the sea is the smell of progress. He pauses once again as the footsteps beside him stop and he turns to face his demon. Listening to the taller male's words he refuses to look away.
