Ya gurl is bored again and fully free until the end of july, so might as well do some rping. I'm currently inspired by like dark fantasy so that would likely be the setting. I was thinking it could be like a monster-hunter gang / mystery type deal. So we could plot on setting and characters. This page will serve as an interest check.
Here are some of my vague thoughts:
- Takes place in a fantasy city which is run by a number of powerful gangs, and most people who live there are involved with them in some way. - Plot revolves around a mysterious villain called the Arsonist who has been burning down seemingly random places throughout the city, ranging from homes to government buildings. - Main characters are a motley crew. I'll write up quick blurbs for each of them below for the sake of keeping the characters diverse as well as mixing their role in the plot. We don't have to use all of them, and their attributes can be changed. Just trying to generate ideas. - Ideally about 3 to 5 rpers? - Advanced
Characters:
- The Brawn: Close ally of the detective. Always carries a broad range of weapons, perhaps a supernatural being like a werewolf, vampire, etc. (m) claimed by 𝕾𝖙𝖔𝖗𝖒𝖗𝖆𝖌𝖊
- The Detective: The unofficial crime-solver for the city. An educated man who was raised on the streets. (m) claimed by ℊℓоω
- The Alchemist: A local gang-affiliated alchemist who specializes in herbs and substances. Works occasionally with the detective. (f)
- The Street Rat: A young man who comes from the worst part of town, who has eyes and ears everywhere. Covered in grime and down to commit crime. (m)
- The Jewel: Daughter of the richest Board in the city. Unsavory origins but raised with a silver spoon in her mouth. (f)
- The Marionette: A performer who might know something about the Arsonist, she has a mutual friend of the detective. (f) claimed by ℊℓоω
- The Fire Swallower: A player from the same crew as the Marionette. They have some sort of close relationship (lovers or siblings). (m) claimed by Hushabye
Anyway, let me know if any of this is interesting to you and if you want to do something with me lol

Tentative banner. It's kinda 1920s inspired, but I'll change it if the preferred time period changes in the poll or if anyone has a strong opinion.

Hi! Just curious- Is 'Fire Swallower' just a placeholder for someone in the troupe? How does being a fire swallower benefit the character or influence the plot?

This is unrelated. Anyone who has opinions: here are some of my ideas about the different supernatural beings in the world. These are just the ideas I came up with but I'm totally open to changing things before the rp gets rolling.
VAMPIRES These creatures consume nothing but blood. Though they can suffer through daylight, they are naturally nocturnal. Their unnaturally long lives lend themselves to wealth and glamor. They cannot be killed by sickness or age. Only a wooden stake to the heart does the trick. The rumors, unfortunately, are true--they cannot see themselves in mirrors. Lifespan: Infinite Abilities: Superhuman speed, strength, and senses. Reproduction: Biting humans who then have to consume vampire blood.
SIRENS Similar to vampires, Sirens also have unnaturally long life and cannot easily be killed. The difference, of course, is that Sirens are sea-loving creatures who inhabit the water as easily as they do land. They do not, much to the chagrin of little girls, have fish-like tails (only gills on their necks that allow them to breathe). Sirens can also only be female. Can only be killed by mercury. Lifespan: Infinite. Abilities: Breathing underwater, unnatural beauty, seductive voices Reproduction: Same as human reproduction, but only girls have a 10% chance of becoming a full siren. DEMONS The third of the relic species. Demons can also live forever, unless their makers are destroyed through an antiquated ritual. They are regarded as evil, though it might be unfair. Wickedness and mischief are common traits. Attributes include batlike wings which are easily disguised under clothing. Lifespan: Infinite. Abilities: Reading lies, travelling through flame, curses Reproduction: Creation through cursing ritual. WEREWOLVES Natural enemy to the vampire is the werewolf. They are technically relics because they can live forever, but the process of transforming is dangerous (as it comes with insatiable bloodlust). Werewolves can also die of sickness and injury more easily than the other long-lived species. Most die young anyway. On full moons, werewolves must transform into their wolf counterparts. Lifespan: Typically short Abilities: Superhuman strength and senses, transform into wolves every full moon, grow claws and fangs at will Reproduction: Same as human. Human x werewolf children have a 50% chance of becoming werewolves. Can also be bitten. SORCERERS Sometimes called witches, wizards, etc. These are simply humans who have a random magical gene. They are also the most diverse of the species, with their abilities depending entirely on the person. Sorcerers are typically discovered by the age of ten, and then they are adopted into covens (close knit groups). Lifespan: Same as humans Abilities: Depend on the sorcerer (charms, potions, elemental abilities, etc.) Reproduction: Born randomly in the human population SHAPESHIFTERS Most closely related to the werewolf genetically. Shapeshifters are always born, not created. They can also transform at will, so they are not "cursed" by the moon cycle. There are two types of shapeshifters: those who can change their faces/bodies to mimic other humans, and those who can mimic animals. Animal shapeshifters typically specialize in one or two animals overall. Lifespan: Same as humans Abilities: Mimicking other humans or animals Reproduction: Only two shapeshifters can give birth to another shapeshifter.

That all looks great! Vampires in the 1920s is such a good look ~
Ooo got it! Would it be okay if I interpret Fire Swallower to be someone reckless/a thrill junkie? please excuse me while I slide in... I also like the idea of a pre-established relationship! So they can be relatives/lovers/friends, choose whichever you feel will work! I think my Fire Swallower will be a new vampire and country bumpkin who went from a sheltered life to living in the city. He may have been picked up by Lucia's troupe because he had nowhere to go?
I also have ideas for side characters, if that's okay? A wealthy but understated sorcerer- probably works a relatively normal job- sympathetic to the cause but wavers on remaining neutral. A demon who appears to be an assassin but doesn't know how to 'stealth'. Exact title and occupation are unknown. People only know of him.

Nuadha Lleu Belvedere " All my life I was see-through , all I wanted was to be you " _____________________________
twenty-one ✘ male ✘ vampire ✘
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE ✘ Facial Features: Rather mature despite his youth; strong jaw, prominent brows with a scar splitting the left, full lips, narrow eyes Coloring (hair, skin, etc): Pale skin, wisteria eyes, sleek midnight hair with silvery locks braided against his temples Body Type and physicality: Broad-shouldered with lithe muscles easily hidden by clothing (6'1) Clothing/style: He has no sense of style and only wears what he can afford so his wardrobe is small but varied. Staples would be black gloves and his Master's enchanted earrings. Lleu prefers well-to-do clothing however, like suits with waistcoats. He thinks they make him look sharp! He doesn't exactly know how to 'wear' clothes, however...The vampire is accustomed to tousling with boars and sleeping in trees so his clothing is often worse for wear, and he has been known to simply strip if he feels restricted. Lleu has been scolded for losing shoes, using his jackets to catch birds or lending them to strangers, and forgetting to put a shirt on after waking. It was embarrassingly easy to steal from him, as he will give whatever he has to someone who says they need it- but he's gradually learning more street smarts.
PERSONALITY ✘ Naïve, earnest, insatiably curious, utterly fearless, compassionate, impulsive, fiercely protective, loyal, violent, confrontational, self-assured yet easily flustered, usually has no idea what's going on
HISTORY ✘ - Nuadha is rather forthcoming with his past if asked; he was a dying orphan raised by 'Master' to become a warrior worthy of inheriting her legacy. He spent his formative years living with her as the only person he could speak with and intense training to occupy the majority of his time. The details of her recent death are not as easy to come by, but he insists that he will not seek revenge out of respect for her memory. Nuadha actually arrived on the heels of a traveling musician who needed his help, and hadn't intended to stay...He was attacked by an enemy of his Master's, however, and Turned against his will. Now a fledgling vampire, Nuadha remains to become stronger and confront the one who forced him to break his promise. - He has never had any friends- that weren't animals- or options beyond cooking, cleaning, and training so this new 'world' is very disorienting. He may be a little confused at times, but he hopes that he can still be of use! Nuadha can follow any instructions you give him! Oh, well the finer 'arts' aren't exactly his forte, but he can read and do math at a basic level! And if you ask a physics question that can be applied to the speed and angle with which he must throw a knife to take off a fleeing man's ear, then the answer would come to him easily~ - He isn't exactly sure how to make friends, but he figures killing ones' enemies is a good way to start! Now, what did the man who insulted you look like~?

Can I join? I'm kind of juggling between the alchemist and the street rat.
I kind of vision the alchemist as a sorcerer who ended up being shunned from her coven. She's a researcher of herbs and medicines, wanting to treat the less fortunate since that's how she originally grew up.
As for the street rat, well it'd be cool to Rp an individual who is both an informant and a thief. He knows everything that goes on, and possibly a shapeshifter, which is how he can collect that information.

I added my side characters! I hope their forms are okay- I like for things to look neat too but my iPad doesn't handle coding well ^^ ;; I may have some ways to tie Song & Juste to your plot/gangs too! I just need to put some more thought into it... Right now I'd say that they're both neutral. Song tries to do business with both and Juste is just shy of on their bad side as he's all about 'law and order'
