When Death Calls

~Introduction~

All across the world, people have been hearing "The Call of Death". The Call of Death is a voice that speaks to one person, telling them that they will die. No one wants to hear the Call, but it is impossible to avoid. Children, Teenagers, Adults, all may hear the wretched voice. What is making this call? Are there supernatural powers beyond reach? With more and more deaths, people get more and more worried. But what happens one day when you get the call? We'll just have to find out.

~Setting~

A small suburban town called Pleasant Valley, located in the west coast of United States, just below Canada. Pleasant Valley is a typical, if secluded town, with a few parks, schools, several shops (music store, Clothing stores, ect.). To the west is a beach, along side if which is a path, leading to the neighboring town. To the south is a lake and a surrounding forest which secludes Pleasant Valley from the town below. To the north are a few mountains, and caves. To the east, rolling hills and valleys.

~Species~

Human: The curious, self-explanatory creatures that populate the town of Pleasant Valley the most widespread. They are easy to find, and some believe in mythical creatures while others don't. All know about the werewolves and Vampires, though. Live in Pleasant Valley.

Werewolves: The night lurking wolves that shift into a human by day and wolf by night. Trying to figure what is making the voice, and who are killing their friends, the humans. Major enemies with vampires. These vicious beasts feast on silverfoxes. Live in the forest south of Pleasant Valley. Werewolves can top any creature in attack power, but their speed reamins a down-low.

Vampires: The blood-sucking, Pale Skinned, monstrous beasts that we all know and love. These creatures hide within humans easiest, but it is hard for them to keep themselves from sucking blood. Are satisfied with "The Call of Death" because they despise humans. They enemy with werewolves, and live to the north of Pleasant Valley. Love the blood of humans and especially of silverfoxes. Sometimes on the bad side and sometimes on the good side, these fickle beings may just turn on one another!

Silverfoxes: The fastest creatures of all the others, though they can be considered cowards because of their poor fighting skills. They were thought to have all died out, but very few survive. Rumor has it, they get they're power from the moon. Although graceful jumpers, runners, swimmers, and even psychic users, they are no match for any other creature unless they use a good strategy. In their human form, they still posses fox ears and a fox tail, unlike werewolves who shift into a human entirely. Their exact location is unknown.

Ghost: Seem to be included in the strange instances of the Call of Death, but how? Can become solid creatures when desired. Scattered in the region of Pleasant Valley. Not much else is known about these beings.

Elves: The magic using creatures that side with the humans, mostly. They cannot be told from humans unless you look at their pointy ears, which they usually keep well hidden. They are concerned about the Call, but don't worry to much about it. Live near the path on the eastern region of Pleasant Valley, but occasionally visit the main city, or the werewolves. Are not fond of Silverfoxes. They range from element magic to artificial magic, and can be tricky and merciless at times.

Dragons: The strongest creatures in Pleasant Valley, they can have a human form, and often live with humans, only to feast on them later. They are powerful creatures that range in the best defenses of all time. When in a fight, they are usually the victors. Their favorite food is Silverfox, and they also enjoy humans and vampires as a meal. Their only enemies are werewolves. They live scattered across Pleasant Valley, and usually live with Elves, who they are friends with.

~If you would like to add to this list, send me the creature idea in a private message, and I'll consider putting it up here.

Gryphon: There are very few of these creatures in the valley. Not many of them survive childhood since they are so defenseless, they usually get eaten by dragons, werewolves and sometimes vampires. But the ones who do survive learn to shape shift into humans forms, but not all the way they have wings on there back that they usually try to hide. They try to be peaceful and stay out of the way of all the other species. They are friends with silverfoxes and are trying to find out what is doing the death call.

Am I supposed to post here or private mail you? I mailed you, but would you prefer I posted?

<<Fairy, I just noticed on your form, you left out the age. How old is your character? Oh, and in RP time, it's Friday morning in December.>>


Landon looks dismally out the window, watching his breath cloud the glass. The television was blaring something about another victim claimed by some force dubbed 'the Call of Death'. His family had just moved to Pleasant Valley recently, so it wasn't like he really cared much. He contents himself by glaring out the window, and laughing at his younger sister's school uniform.



Mitsuki ruffles her chestnut hair making sure her fox ears are covered, before she steps outside her house. She had school today, which she went to to blend in better. Her long plaid skirt, her preferred choice for hiding something like a tail. Her book bag thumps against her hip as she walks the five blocks to school. She liked the cold, it felt nice when she was in fox form. Now, however, was not the time to be thinking about that. Now was the time to cram for her French test.

<She's 17 in human years. Elves have longer childhoods, so she's actually 23. I don't know how that didn't get in there.>

Kara brushed her short-pixie (oh, the irony...) carefully around her ears. She then placed a black and white small-brimmed hat on her head.
"Where's that necklace...?" She thought. It was given to her by her mother, so she treasured it.
She tucked her books into her blue bag, carefully moving them around her shortbow and walked out the door.
She shivered as she hit the outdoors. She had always been sensitive to cold. Hopefully she wouldn't be sluggish today as a result...

<Do they die instantly or does it take a few days? Do they have to travel somewhere?>

((I sent you my profile and idea for a creature ok))

((I've sent you the profiles for mine))

<<Does what die instantly? Je ne comprends pas.... (I don't get it)>>

Clarette looks at the school yard sadly. She used to go there, before she died anyway. Her nearly invisible form sits on a bench in the yard, watching the students pass by. The students were more somber than her own classmates, due to the Call. In the beginning, there were many more students, but not now. The French girl sighs, she hoped the Called were in their respective paradises, and not somewhere darker.

Landon grabs his messenger bag and heads over to 'Meiner's Music' for work. He often worked the counter, when he wasn't given music lessons. Not that anyone really came in during the day, but someone had to be at the counter at all times. He closes the front door and walks briskly in the snow. He had a motorcycle, true, but he liked walking the ten blocks a lot better.

Sam sips his mug of mixed berry tea quietly as he waits for the school bell to ring.
What was a dragon doing at school, you ask?
Why, to learn, of course!
Or, to scope out tasty targets to 'brush into' later.
He only ate humans every week or so, like a human would eat a fine steak.
He looks over the complex algebraic equations scrawled all over his notes as he waits in silence.

Her breathing was becoming ragged. She was beginning to feel the cold. She was wearing shorts, old ragged tennis shoes and a gray long sleeved shirt. She She had kept her running schedule since she was young enough to run by herself. She was just two blocks from the city stores. She just loved running through the city, seeing how the humans interacted. It hurt her to see so many unhappy people due to this "call" that everyone and everything was hearing. Even her own people were hearing it. She snarled low as she kept running, her eyes burning due to the cold. She sneezed and decided to stop and take a breather. It was hard to act normal and humanish when she wasn't. She'd have to get use to it though if she wanted to help these humans out.

"Aye, je ne comprends pas! Je deteste les adjectifs!" Mitsuki mutters to herself as she looks over the French and English words.
The Five Minute bell rings throughout the campus, calling the students inside.
The Silverfox pushes a lock of auburn hair from her face, tucking it under some of her other hair.
She grabs her bag and heads for the science wing, her first class was located there.

Engel was running late for school and was running full speed. He ran down the street at full speed letting his bare feet feel the snow between his toes and felt his wings under his shirt, wanting to flex his wings and fly to school but did not. He did not even stop when he got into the school because he knew that the bell had already rang and ran threw the halls. He was not watching where he was going and ran into a girl who looked like she was headed to the science wing. he fell to the gound with a thud and quickly got up and said "sorry was not watching where I was going"

"Oy vey!" Mitsuki mutters, scooping up her scattered French, Chemistry and Calculus notes from the floor.
She shuffles the papers into some kind of order before replying.
"Slow down, you've got three minutes still." Her accent cuts through her words, which is why she usually didn't speak much.
Without hesitating, she continues on to class, Chem, so as she herself would not be late.

Clarette sighs as the students leave, herself getting up.
She was going to walk around, like usual, and try to entertain herself, like usual.
The snow buries an inch of her shoes, the vague feeling of coldness tickling her feet.
She giggles, naught but a whisper on the wind as she walks, enjoying the funny half-feelings of the snow.

When Engel heard her accent he thought it sounded kind of cool and saw that she had missed a papper. He picked it up and ran over to her and held it up infront of her "here I think you forgot this and I like your accent it sound cool." Engel smiled as he said that and remember that she was in his first period class but she never talked so he never got to know her.

She takes her paper, nodding her thanks.
Her pale face is graced by a pale rose blush at the (compliment? She wonders).
It dawns on her that the guy was in her first period.
She may not speak much, but she knew everyone's face, if not name.
She walks down the hall, resisting the urge to check her ears, which her thick hair was doing a very good job in hiding.

Engel walked behind her to his class wondering why she never talked in class. Her accent was was very uneque and he liked it. Why would she hide it was what he was wondering. He gave up soon and just followed her quietly alone the hall to class. Then found a strange sent in the air not human and if was coming from her. He smiled to himself knowing the smell by heart and glad to know that there where still a few silverfoxes in this town. "oh I do not think you got my name it is Engel" he said with a smile from behind her.

Mentally, she congratulates herself for almost remembering his name.
"I am Mitsuki." She replies.
Her own animalistic sixth-sense, if you will, tells her that the guy, Engel, was...different.
Her fox senses said the smell was...bird-like.
She would think about that later, probably during notes.
The classroom door was at the end of the hall, still a good seven or so doors away.
If Mitsuki could wear watches, she'd check the time, but since she couldn't, she guess they still had two or so minutes left.

Sam grabs his bag and walks over to the Music wing.
He was in the band, which for wind players was first period.
He grabs the broad, flat case which housed his instrument from its shelf, and puts the dark wooden instrument together.
Then, sticking the reed in his mouth, he puts his case up and grabs his music.
The chair and stands didn't get put up, so he didn't have to worry about that.
Shuffling music around, he is finally satisfied with it's order, and waits for class to begin.

"well it is a pleaser to met you lady Mitsuki." Engel said in a muture voice. Then frowned as as he saw how close they where to class. He hated class and never talked to anyone then smiled "that is a lovely perfume you are wearing." Engel said hopeing to tell her that he knew that she was not human in a way that if anyone else heard them they would not think about it.

Mitsuki giggles. "Enchante, Monsieur Engel."
Though the perfume comment puzzled her.
She didn't wear perfume, it annoyed her sensitive nose way too much.
Chemistry was looming ahead of them, a mere three doors away.
She didn't mind the class, though she couldn't say the same for some of her classmates.
A soft sigh escapes her lips, for several reasons, but mostly because it was just a sighing moment.

"hey what is with the sigh dont you like school." Engel said with a puzzled face then looked back at how many doors they had left. But Engel hated school he would rather be out in the snow and flying around then in here.
