Bad Weather {Recruiting/Heavy Lit.}
[imgleft]http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/6921/rainbanner.png[/imgleft]
Bad Weather It's been a week now, raining non stop... Dark all hours, street's backing up with water, lightning cracking through the sky at night. I sware, I could set my watch to the thunder. Yeah, quite the soggy mess this city has turned into, and it only got worse when we lost power. Looking back, I suppose we should have realized this phenomena was more than bad weather. Even me, unusually good at sniffing out the unusual, took it mostly at face value. I suppose that's why no one realized what was happening until the bodies started clogging the drains... { Intro }-{ Welcome }-{ Things you should know }-{ Story }-{ Races }-{ Slots & Forms }-{ Gallery }-{ Accepted Profiles }-{ Affiliates } |
http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/9292/rainbanner2.png Welcome Welcome to Bad Weather, a supernatural horror RP. We are open and accepting, we are a heavy literacy RP, and yes, we are speaking in third person. Before you read any further, I would like you to read the "things you should know" post below this one. It will save us both time. This is the OOC thread, a place for you and all the other's in this RP to plot, chat, and overall make nuisances of yourselves. This is also the place to ask questions, if your curious about our RP, but it is NOT the place to submit profiles. All profiles should be forwarded to me, directly, through a pm. I highly encourage plot development being pre-planned, without making an itinerary, and that you stop in often for off the record announcements, special events, and perhaps some cool stuff for your RPC.

http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/9292/rainbanner2.png Things you should know This is the most important post in this thread. Read it first. -This is a vampire RP with references to both the traditional and the not quite as repulsive vampires. None of them sparkle. Period. -This is a heavy literacy thread. You should know how to spell, punctuate, and just generally write properly. I'll not impose a minimum paragraph per post law, but one-liners should always be a last resort, and aim for one-two paragraphs. Flesh out your posts. Give us something meaty to chew on. -There are a limited number of slots, and each slot has it's own race assigned. There are multiples of each race, but once that race is gone, we will accept no more like it. -If all the slots have filled up, feel free to submit a profile anyway. Dropouts are inevitable, and maybe something will open up later. -Don't be a dick. You should know what is and isn't acceptable in a role play. If you haven't figured that out, you are not ready to be here. -I'm really a nice person. I like talking, I love role play, I'm good at making people feel welcome, but I am quite sick of RP's falling apart because of one person not having their shit together. If I refuse you, it is for a good reason. Leave it at that. -This is more of a supernatural RP than horror, but things will get dark. -If you have any questions, or are unclear on anything in this thread, please, just ask. I am I'd be more than happy to help you out. { Intro }-{ Welcome }-{ Things you should know }-{ Story }-{ Races }-{ Slots & Forms }-{ Gallery }-{ Accepted Profiles }-{ Affiliates } |
http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/9292/rainbanner2.png Setting Lluvia, a towering city past it's prime, has been under looming storm clouds for 7 days. The relentless rain has left much of the lower city inaccessible, and rolling power outages have even the most hardened man on edge. Something isn't right, and now with the all encompassing blackout as the main power plant mysteriously shuts down, few aren't wondering if something more sinister is at work. The only thing connecting the cities people to the outside world are radio's, and from what they hear, they are truly alone in the darkness. In the midst of, apparently, nature's wrath, the resident vampire clans have grown to like this constant, albeit a bit damp, night. Able to roam freely at all hours, the youngest have taken full advantage of this lasting darkness, roaming the street's in packs, looking for some poor soul to entertain them. Their sires have taken refuge in their various underground business's, finding great profit from Lluvia's misfortune. The only one's seeming uneasy about this sudden change are the elders, murmuring of an ache deep in their blackened souls. What, exactly, could worry the most ancient and powerful clan leaders...? That is exactly what you and your fellow role players are trying to find out. Surprisingly enough, I do have a pretty cool ending for this, so there is actually a point to the story, something I don't think many role play creator's can boast. { Intro }-{ Welcome }-{ Things you should know }-{ Setting }-{ Races }-{ Slots & Forms }-{ Gallery }-{ Accepted Profiles }-{ Affiliates } |
http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/9292/rainbanner2.png Races The races of this world are fairly straightforward, but in case there is any confusion, I would insist you read these basic outlines to get a better handle on things. Humans: Humans are just that; Human. They are fragile creatures, and while some can be trained to the point of near physical perfection, they all have an expiration date, and it can always get closer. Most are completely ignorant of the shadow lurking in the underbelly of their cities, and it is no secret that is for the best. Vampires: Vampires, perhaps the most powerful beings ever to exist, are known for a great many things. Exactly how much of it is myth and fact remains to be seen, but what most commonly applies to them is: They drink blood to survive, or even eat raw meat from time to time They cannot enter sunlight, for it burns them Holy artifacts, as well as a silver crucifix, repulse them, and can leave minor burns should it touch their skin. The have incredible strength, speed, and agility, plus they use their inhumanly good looks to charm people into a false sense of security. Most everything else is pure myth. For example, the stake thing would kill anyone. As for less physical power; it is believed that the more ancient vampires have access to long lost tomes of witchcraft from before the crusade, perhaps the only remaining documentation of true Wicca and Paganism, which they would use in times of great need. Other's think they have been charged with protecting ancient and holy artifacts capable of destroying their kind in it's entirety, and would use them to destroy rivals. The bottom line is vampires are indeed powerful. Speed, strength, intelligence, and beauty all culminate into a deadly predator. Thankfully, the Vampires seem as interested in keeping themselves under wraps as everyone else. { Intro }-{ Welcome }-{ Things you should know }-{ Setting }-{ Races }-{ Slots & Forms }-{ Gallery }-{ Accepted Profiles }-{ Affiliates } |
http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/9292/rainbanner2.png Slots Currently there are six slots available. 1. Adin Wynn - Human/F 2. Human 3. Human 4. A'Riianithen Les Deidreville - Vampire/F 5. Vampire 6. Vampire Notice each slot has a name of a race. Once you do not see a race on this list, that race is full and there will be no more accepted. However, should you really be anxious for a spot, you may send in your profile anyways, and I'll keep it in my inbox in case someone drops out. Profile Skeleton Username: Name: Age: Height: Weight: Description: Personality: Bio: Picture Reference: Extra: (I'm having trouble getting the code wrap to work, so you'll just have to copy and paste, for now.) Example: -------- Username: (Your username) Name: (Your characters name) Age: Height: Weight: Description:(I would recommend you fill this in even if you have a picture reference. The better to evaluate you, my dear.) Personality: (Everything about your character's mannerisms, way of speaking, how they handle people, even what they do and don't like.) Bio: ( Your character's history, at least as much as the character knows about it.) Picture Reference: (This is where the all important picture goes. You do not have to have one to join this RP, and god help you if you pick a generic anime picture from some image hosting site.) Extra: (Anything of interest that wasn't covered above. Does your character have a trick knee? Maybe an unusual collection of socks from the laundry matte?) -------- BE CERTAIN you send this to me in a PM. Some things within your profile will be classified, so not everyone in the rp is going to know about your tragic past, or vendetta against humans, unless you deem it necessary to tell them. Adds a bit of mystery to each character. { Intro }-{ Welcome }-{ Things you should know }-{ Setting }-{ Races }-{ Slots & Forms }-{ Gallery }-{ Accepted Profiles }-{ Affiliates } |

http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/9292/rainbanner2.png Accepted Profiles Here are all of the profiles we have accepted thus far into the RP. Learn well from them, for they got past the tyrant that is I. -------- [imgleft]http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/6741/resizedl.png[/imgleft] Username:Her-Sourness Name: Adin Wynn Age: 29 Height: 5'11 Weight: 150 lbs. Description:Before her retirment, Adin's codename was " Runner", for a very good reason. Year's of chasing down, and running away, from the things that go bump in the night has left Adin with a well built body, and a scar or two. She takes on something of an hourglass figure, and boast's a fairly large bustline, but takes steps to hide it. Truly, she is very modest in her clothing choices. Simple green t-shirt, worn in jeans, tennis shoes, and occasionally, her old, brown trench coat. Perhaps her most prominent feature is her hair. Coppery red locks that curl slightly gives her a near constant bed head. Her bangs are choppy, and parts with the rest of her hair to the left and it's kept in a low ponytail when she's working, but she really prefers to keep it down, the tips touching just under her waistline. By most standards, Adin is average. Her face is a good mix between heart and oval shaped, her eyes are soft, and colored an unusual shade of green. Her lips are almost constantly pulled into a small smile, and she gives off a destinct feeling of warmth to those around her. She doesn't particularly enjoy calling attention to herself, however, and prefers function over fashion. As such, what she does have in the way of looks is underplayed, the only obviously interesting thing about her being her hair and height. Personality: Bottom line, Adin is generally a kind person. She is merciful, compassionate, and wise for her age. She prefers comfortable silence over conversation, books over tv, function over fashion, and night over day. The stormy weather, while detrimental to the rest of the populace, relax's her, and despite the lack of power, she hasn't slept so well in years. As for flaws, Adin will often remove herself completly from the world, cutting everything and everyone off without warning. What exactly triggers this is a mystery, but it usually happens when she starts drinking. She can also get very agitated when talk of religion comes up. It is a controlled exasperation, and only respect for other people's choices keeps her tongue tied. Bio: Classified Picture Reference: Album Extra: Adin's worst injury to date was when she nearly lost her right hand to a rotweiler her target had let go feral, but she walked away with it mostly intact. Even though she still has her hand, 90% of the bone within it is metal. Cold weather can agitate it, though the only way to tell it's bothering her is when she begins to flex it, continuously. There is a particularly gruesome scar over the top of her hand because of it, and the weather has made it ache almost constantly for a week now. Thank goodness for Excedrin. -------- [imgright]http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/8010/vampireanimegirl.jpg[/imgright] Username: Stress Name: A'Riianithen Les Deidreville (Goes by 'Ariana', 'Les', 'Les Mis', 'Ria', etc...) Age: 496 Height: 5"6 Weight: 122 pounds Description: Pure, snow-white hair cascading down her back to end at her waist, like a waterfall of starlight. Pale white skin, with a glow and radiance on par with the full moon. Carmine eyes, the exact colour of dried blood, are placed delicately above full lips and a petite nose. Her limbs are soft and skinny, yet not lanky in anyway, and her small feet allow for graceful movements and sudden changes of direction. She is usually dressed in rather old-fashioned dresses, and has taken nearly a hundred years (each, and respectively) for her to get used to showing her ankles and wrists, then her calves and entire arm, then her mid-drift. She will rarely, rarely wear anything that goes above her thighs, though. Personality: She tends to keep her hands clasped in front or behind her person, and either has a small, borderline accidentally risqué (or risqué itself, depending on what she was trying to do), or a blank, nearly pouty expression. A downfall of this is that, if you look closely at her hands and expression combination, you can read her emotional state easily (for example, clasped hands behind and a soft expression means she dealing with someone she absolutely trusts and is calm (and this goes even more complicated, going from how tightly her hands are clasped or how steady her expression is). Her speech is mostly a combination of Middle-English and the newer style of speaking (more of the latter, though). Depending on the person, she always slightly mis-trusts her 'companion'; only a certain few vampires does she trust completely. Bio: Classified Picture Reference: [x] ///::///[x] Extra: When the weather in Lluvia turned harsh and rainy, a nagging feeling tugged on the back of her mind, and yet she continues to ignore it. A'Riianithen also has a hazy ability to see the 'Aura' of a person, and Symbols related to their past, present, future and/or personality. Also, she has the ability to lure in 'suitors' with her voice (she sings to gather attention). { Intro }-{ Welcome }-{ Things you should know }-{ Setting }-{ Races }-{ Slots & Forms }-{ Gallery }-{ Accepted Profiles }-{ Affiliates } |
