Welcome to Marchand!

"I will bother, though I'm not sure why I do at this point."

The slender form of Professor Kovalenko melted out of the shadow of the wardrobe. Her straight hair, neatly buttoned coat, and impassive expression forming an almost complete antithesis of her counterpart.

"We've got an operation to run here Byrne. You need to keep this under control before someone ends up getting hurt."
She reached into the draw on the one side of the room, withdrew a medicine bottle, and dropped it down beside Maeve. The pills in the bottle rattled.

"I don't need to remind you what we've got to worry abou-"

She paused. Oren's gaze flicked over to the door.

Drawn on top of the wood panelling was an intricate symbol of wavy lines, within a circle, punctuated with a line and a smaller circle issuing from it... or rather it would be had a large swipe not been erased, like it had been wiped with a cloth.

Professor K sighed through her teeth and took some brisk steps up to the door. Her coat was unbuttoned, sleeve drawn up, and an obsidian athame drawn from its sheath at her hip, and within moments Oren was painting her blood over the gaps in the ward.

A silence ward.
The ward that was meant for the express purpose of preventing their private conversations being audible to anyone outside in the corridor who happened to listen.

"We're really going to have to do something about the ward problem."

Definitely wanna get in on this again with my Erubescans and my wastelander. :D

Cheers, thanks. =)

Weird Neighbours

@The One Imma be sticking with the term ghost, seeing as there are only three varieties of supernatural creature in the canon, the terms are interchangable regardless.

And yes, the plan is to get together the housemates at least before starting.

Weird Neighbours

@The OneAs far as this mythos goes the term 'ghost' refers to the concept described in the ghost section above, spirit of a deceased person that appears as the deceased person in the clothes that they died in, that is generally only visible to those of a supernatural nature, and that can interact with the physical world with some concentration, and with greater focus exhibit some kind of mild telepathic ability.

Weird Neighbours

It's not a very noticeable place. A small, terraced house in a fairly unassuming street. A small, rather unkempt garden sits at the back with an unruly hedge trying to clamber over the back fence. A rusted looking barbecue sits against the back wall, serving as home to a large puddle and several dead leaves. Inside the house is a kitchen, living room, and several upstairs rooms that have long been bare of much but some bed frames and some dusty boxes. Beyond that lies the attic, wreathed in spiderwebs and the nests of whatever urban wildlife managed to get in during the winter months.

23 Queen's Road was a rather unremarkable place to glance at. The only thing that might set this place apart would be the stories. Many of the tenants that had taken up the rental on it in recent years had left with claims of strange noises and ghostly apparitions. All nonsense, the letting agent hastened to tell those viewing. Things are about to change however, as some tenants are about to move in...tenants who can only be described as extraordinary.

A vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost.

This RP is inspired by the BBC series Being Human. You don't need to know about it, but you need to make an effort to stick to the the general idea of the series, which is that the supernatural creatures are trying their best to be ordinary people, rather than save the world or kill people or anything along those lines.

My current plan is to take up the role of the werewolf, who is female and in her late thirties, as well as said werewolf's seven year old son. The other housemates, that is, the vampire also wanting the place and the ghost who has been haunting the house for some years, are both up for grabs, and am open to suggestions regarding other potential roles, but need the housemates initially!

Mythos

Vampires

• Vampires are created when a human is bitten and drained, and ingests the blood of a vampire.
• Vampires are able to walk in daylight, although they're not keen on the sun. They'll often don dark glasses for this reason.
• Vampires drink human blood. Animal blood doesn't seem to offer much interest to them. Blood bags from a hospital don't really have the required effect. The blood is not needed to survive, however it manifests as an extremely strong addiction. Vampires that do not drink go through a very nasty withdrawal, and suffer mild symptoms of it for as long as they don't drink. As a result, it's rather difficult for vampires seeking to beat their addiction.
• Vampires do not age from the age they were turned. Child vamps remain children permanently.
• Vampires are vulnerable to injury like humans, though are capable of healing at a faster rate than a regular person.
• A stake to the chest is extremely serious for a vampire, and causes organ failure initially. If the stake it not removed within a few seconds then the vampire will begin to degrade, eventually turning to nothing but dust.
• They are repelled by religious symbols.
• They have no reflection, and do not show up on film.
• When ready to 'strike' a vampire's pupils expand to fill their whole eye, making is seem completely black. Their fangs also extend out to full length.

Werewolves

• Werewolves were once humans who were bitten by another werewolf, but survived.
• They change on the full moon. Changing is extremely painful and distressing.
• The wolf is a separate entity that acts on its own impulses...which are almost exclusively violent.
• In human form the werewolf resembles an ordinary person, although their sense of smell is very acute and they display greater resilience to injury than humans.
• Werewolves tend to get moody around the full moon, and will often have cravings for meat in the lead up.
• Werewolf blood is extremely toxic to vampires when ingested.
• It is possible for a werewolf to artificially 'force' a change to a degree, using an image of the moon...however this generally only succeeds in killing them halfway through the change.

Ghost

• Ghosts are the spirits of the dead that have yet to pass on to the afterlife. Generally those remaining are those that experienced an untimely death.
• They can interact with the physical world to some degree, though it takes practice to accomplish this.
• Vampires and Werewolves are able to see and interact with ghosts directly, humans generally cannot without considerable effort on the part of the ghost to appear to them.
• Ghosts remain behind due to having an unresolved issue in the world of the living. Upon accomplishing this, a door will appear to them that resembles their passage into the life beyond.
• Dependent on their strength and experience, ghosts can often exhibit a sort of telepathic influence on their surroundings. It often ties in with strong emotion, and sometimes happens involuntarily.
• Ghosts remain in the clothes that they died in permanently.

Welcome to Marchand!

"Clearly you don;t know much about mage families huh." Dinah responded to Yoko's remark, rolling her eyes.
There was no telling some people, and she lacked the patience or the interest to attempt to explain it.

She then turned her attentions to Larke. He was, at least, relatively sociable, which made things easier...even if their conversation hadn't even really gotten past the pleasantries when he found he had something else to do.
"It's cool, Sterling. You don't have to talk to me if you don't want to." Dinah responded, sinking her hands into her pockets.
"Wouldn't have bothered even showing up if I had a thin skin about it."

Or, possibly in some way she did, as she was taking the fairly sincere attempt on his part as the young Sterling's way of trying to back away from the bloodline dumpster fire that was the Fox daughter without potentially offending her.

"I gotta go drop my bags anyway. If you do actually mean it about looking round, I'll probably be hanging round here in a bit, if not, nice taking to ya, no hard feelings."

She made her way out toward her room, shrugged her backpack off onto the bed, and closed the door.
She did, with any luck, have a little while before whoever her roommate was showed up, so she had a bit of a grace period to hide everything that was contraband before she was found.

Ventilation grille would work pretty well.

Wilde Jagd

(Alight under construction as art is still pending. :D)

Full Name: Hari
Aliases:
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Rank: Trainee

Appearance (Human) :

Skills:

Witch Mutation/s (If Character is a Witch): Aside from when he's donning a large trapper hat, it's pretty easy to work out what Hari's mutation is. Out from his skull curl a pair of horns, like those of a ram, however they appear to be made of something jet black, and criss-crossed with jagged cracks and fissures. Despite the apparently fractured appearance of them, the horns have appeared to be extremely strong and resistant to damage.

When Hari becomes angry the fissures can be seen to glow, as if something deep inside them has become red hot. More alarmingly, the horns will sometimes drip boiling blood from the cracks, though it's yet unknown what triggers it.

Preferred Equipment: Whilst his mentor is more comfortable with firearms, it was quickly recognised that Hari's impressive level of strength and speed left him better suited for more close-quarter
