Primrose Terrace

There's also the option of having bodyguards with more than one person to protect. Could give some interesting moments, love triangles, forced decisions, etc.

Yes, that would be interesting. xD

Um, I made a character sheet for the maid if we need one.

Sure, go ahead. =)

Right, so, it looks like things will even out in the end anyway. I've added more slots, and one more character is left. There's someone who has PMed me for that, so I'll wait for them.

For those who haven't finished their CSes yet, I'll wait 24 hours before starting the IC.

Also, do you any of you guys want to be Co-GM? My timezone doesn't allow me to be on during hours when everyone else is active, so I'd appreciate someone who can do that while I'm not here.

Primrose Terrace

Everyone's characters are looking great so far. I'm pretty happy with all of them. I'll edit the accepted character list later on (on my phone right now).

By the way, if the slots are filled, would some of you mind changing your roles? Right now, there are more descendants than bodyguards... If more bodyguard CSes come in, I'll increase the slots, and you wouldn't have to worry.

@DarkAngel- You make a better kitsune. XD I just reused an old character of mine because I like kitsunes, but I had an idea for a Phoenix or Nekomata character, so I'll change mine. =3

Primrose Terrace

Name: Kimiko Hoshi

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Role: Descendant

Apartment No: 3B

Appearance

Race: Ame-Onna

Abilities:
Kimiko's magic is more on the defensive side. She can summon a thick fog if there is a need to escape from her enemies. She also has the ability to call upon clouds, causing rainfall, and if her foes are unlucky, they can be struck with thunder, though Kimiko has no control over that.

Strengths/Weaknesses:
She has a strong defense. She can absorb most damage, using her umbrella as a shield. She is however, rather weak when it comes to offense, having had no training in martial arts or any physical or magical forms of attack.

Bio: When Kimiko was born, it came as no surprise to the Hoshi clan that she was a descendant of a yokai. Throughout the centuries, they have had such descendants in their bloodline and believed it to be a blessing. As a result, they were put under high protection, and treated with utmost care and reverence.

Kimiko, however, found such a lineage to be a curse. It seemed that wherever she went, her family name preceded her. The Hoshi clan was famous for their pharmaceutical companies and medical technology, and everyone that Kimiko met seemed to want to get closer to her just to be in her family's favor. As a result, Kimiko came to distrust most people and had no friends. Her relationship with her family wasn't the best either. Being the only descendant of yokai after a century, she was treated more like a deity than a child.

Thus, Kimiko was relieved when she came to know about Primrose Terrace, and moved to the building when she turned 18. She'd had a bodyguard assigned to her for three years, but they soon had to move to another city and thus ended their contract.

Other: If she feels very emotional, she can unconsciously cause thunderstorms. Oftentimes when she is depressed, a literal rain cloud materializes over her head.

@Malikoy - Looking great, but I'd like a few more specific weaknesses. Perhaps an element or a fear that hinders him? Also, a bit more information on the bio would be great. ^^

@Redwing - Accepted. =3

The Madness (An insane roleplay)

Yay, can't wait to start. ^.^

Ah, it'd be quite interesting to have my character have moral conflicts. xD Fixed schedules would be more organized but it might get, well, boring to maintain after a while? I mean I've noticed people don't stick with RP's often when some things are controlled. -shrugs-

The Madness (An insane roleplay)

Name: Emma Winters
Age: 24

Appearance

Personality: Emma's friendly smile and large eyes full of wonder often give people the misconception that she is naive and innocent. She is rather awkward among people. Social interactions make her nervous and she is quite clumsy around people. However, her intelligence shows in her work, where she is meticulous and thorough. She is very sincere and is quite favored among some scientists for her professional attitude.
History: There's nothing particularly interesting about Emma's life before joining the project. Raised in a middle-class family, she was the only child of her parents. She did average in high-school and graduated with a fairly high GPA from college. She had a thirst for knowledge, mostly keeping to herself, perusing scientific journals and learning about modern-day breakthroughs in the world of science during her free time. Instead of following in her father's footsteps to become a doctor, she decided to devote her life to research. However, Emma wasn't content with her life and always felt like something was missing. She wanted to do something great, to be someone.
Reason for agreeing to take part in project: Curiosity, mostly. The idea behind the project intrigued her and it seemed the perfect opportunity to fulfill her wishes of achieving greatness.
Department: She has an interest in Neuroscience, but as she is an assistant, she is shuffled around departments every month wherever she is needed.
Random fact: She always carries a pepper spray in her pocket.

The Madness (An insane roleplay)

Very much interested to make a CS for this. :3 Would you accept a lab assistant? Like an intern who runs tests or monitors the behavior of the experiments, not in any specific department?

Slice-Of-Life/Supernatural RP!

OOC is up!

As a suggestion, it would be nice to add some plot to drive things forward after everyone had the chance to develop their characters and pair up. Maybe an incident at the Terrace? (I know it is waaaaay too early for this, but just thoughts :) )

Hehe, I was planning that anyways. c:

Redwing said
Also I will be making a few changes to the character sheet for myself. All the information will still be there, its just going to be a little easier for me to keep track of things.

No problem. :3

Yes, we are open! Looking forward to seeing your CSes, everyone. ^^

At first glance, Primrose Terrace seems like an ordinary apartment building. Surrounded by a well-maintained garden with a small pond in the corner, its primrose bushes line its borders among the tall trees. The building itself is ten stories high, with a rooftop swimming pool, a luxurious lounge on the ground floor, and of course, fully furnished studio apartments. However, don't let its picturesque appearance fool you...for each of the residents of Primrose Terrace have a secret.

They're not human.

Every few years, a descendant of Yokai is born. It is believed that the family in which they are born, becomes very prosperous. The child is thus heavily protected, and raised in a sheltered environment, for the dangers to its life are many. Not only are their existence from humans to be kept a secret, but they must also be protected from pure-blooded yokai, as these descendants are half-human and not well received by the "supernatural community".

Once they come of age, most of these children choose to live on their own, away from the bindings of their family. However, they could not live anywhere they pleased as the dangers to their life were far too many. Thus, Primrose Terrace came into existence - a high security apartment building where humans with demon/spirit ancestors, or yōkai, reside, each guarded by their own bodyguard.

So, who are you in this story? A bodyguard sworn to protect your partner from harm? A descendant of a yokai just looking to make a life of their own? ...or are you one of the enemy?

The Landlord

The landlord, clad in a black suit, was a tall man with long greying hair tied into a pony-tail. His face was hidden by a Sambaso mask, with only his mouth visible through it. It was unknown what species he was, but he seemed to appear whenever he was needed, often in several places at the same time. Even residents who had lived at Primrose Terrace for years had no idea what his real name was. He was simply 'The Landlord'.

So, who are you in this story? A bodyguard sworn to protect your partner from harm? A descendant of a yokai just looking to make a life of their own? ...or are you one of the enemy?

I got the idea to make this RP after watching an anime (kudos to you if you can figure out which one xD). This is going to be a fantasy/slice-of-life RP with some action mixed in (in cases where the residents are attacked), but I mostly want to focus on character development.

I might add more later on. For now, let's see how much interest this gets and if it can be improved upon. :)
