Nightmare Hunt
(A Mystery/Supernatural RPG)
Approved by LadyP

How close is the world of dreams to the waking mind? How thin of a line does one separate the subconscious from the conscious? Within this fragile surface of reality, how far can we extend our hand to reach it?

++

Welcome to the world of Nightmare Hunt. You are the Guardian of Nightmares.

A latent shift in the dream world causes nightmares to escape from the minds of humans. It is called a Dream Vortex. As a Guardian, it is your duty to capture these renegade nightmares and return them to the owner.

It is extremely prohibited to kill a nightmare. To do so means destroying the human mind it belongs to and will disqualify you as a Guardian.

A person becomes a Guardian when he was able to “tame his own nightmare”, training it be his weapon against wild nightmares that wreck havoc upon our world.

~~

Lately, a powerful vortex has opened, and people who are able to control nightmares are increasing. Some of them are using their nightmare’s powers for their own benefit. It is up to the Guardians to restore balance between the dream world and reality.

Here are the characters:

Guardians: Can control a strong Nightmare monster of their choosing. Only the scariest and most dreadful creatures are allowed to be created. So yeah, NO unicorns and Handsome Looking White-Knights (But if the unicorn eats human flesh and the White Knight has a penchant for collecting heads, then you’re all set to go). If you choose to be a Guardian, your Nightmare Monster has no will. You will control his actions. Being a Guardian is a job, so you are required to hunt down Ferals and Vagrants. It is forbidden, though, to attack them in human form.

Ferals: Basically, you are a character who’s human but has a wild nightmare inside of him/her… Every night, this character changes into a nightmare. You want nothing more but freedom to roam the waking world. But let’s face it, every nightmare is bad. Otherwise, it isn’t a nightmare, don’t you agree? (I’ll let you decide on your own definition of “bad”). If you choose to be a Feral, you have to control two characters: The human character, and the Nightmare character, both having a different personality. It is recommended that your Nightmare contradicts or support your human’s traits.) Guardians cannot harm you in your human form.

Vagrants: You have tamed your nightmare, but you are not a Guardian. Perhaps you control your nightmare for money, game or personal reasons. But be wary, Nightmares are creatures of your own personal darkness. It’s either you control them, or they control you. Vagrants who are caught by the Guardians will be asked to surrender their nightmares completely. Defying this will make you a wanted criminal, and orders will be to kill your nightmare on sight. Learn to elude Guardians (they cannot sense Vagrants or Ferals without the aid of a Watcher)

*Watchers: You are the sentient. Though you cannot battle nor control any nightmares, the Watcher role is crucial because they can distinguish which ones are Ferals, Vagrants or Guardians. They also have the ability to predict the future. The Watcher can choose to have a Nightmare or not, but an active Nightmare limits what he/she "sees". You can only "see" a specific vision. (E.g. You can only see Vagrants; You can only see 24 hours into the future; You can only "hear" Nightmares, etc.
[/COLOR]
++++

RULES (Pay heed):

1. Only nightmares can battle.

2.
http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w57/bikasue/map2.jpg

The MAP is made so people don't get lost with each other (which I noticed was a common problem--of mine? hehe). You don't have to be constrained by the map, just don't disregard it. (e.g. Your character suddenly pops from the Hospital to the Factory)

3. Guardians are not allowed to attack Vagrants/Ferals in their human form. They are, however, allowed to mingle, observe, spy and make allies. (Careful who you make allies with, though, because…)

4. You are given the option to “hide” your role. If you choose to do this, you must PM me your hidden role before I approve it. I will, then, relay the information to the available Watcher. Watchers can also hide who they are.

5. The GM will be in constant communication with the Watcher. This means he/she knows certain plot twists, character info, details, etc. that may be important to the game.

6. Because some people will hide their role, it is encourage to READ EVERYONE’S POSTS.

7. Daytime and Nighttime are controlled by the players but please be considerate about it. (Eg. Do not suddenly introduce “daytime” if the preceding post just designated night.)

8. Ferals can turn to Guardians or Vagrants. To become a Guardian, you have to be aware of your Nightmare first. Second, you have to seek ou a Guardian (or maybe you'll get lucky to come across one). To become a Vagrant is a personal choice (You have to PM me this if you wish it concealed).

9. IMPORTANT: To tame a Nightmare, you have to pass a Guardian’s “test”. Guardians will get the privilege to pass or fail a Feral character. To pass, you have to fulfill a TASK given by the Guardian. This can be RP-based (e.g. an RPG battle), AF-based (e.g. post a thread in the Misc Forum or change your avatar), post-based (e.g. post a picture of a cat), or internet-based (e.g. visit the Guardian’s external blog site and submit a comment). I want this to be as interactive as it possibly can BUT if I catch anybody abusing this privilege, you’re out.

10. Guardians have the privilege of asking a Watcher about a character’s hidden roles. (you have to PM me, in case the Watcher does not want to reveal who he/she is). But that doesn’t mean you can’t FORCE it out of a character you suspect to be the Watcher. *evil hint*

[UPDATED] 11. Two (2) characters per user for now. Watchers can only use ONE (1) character. You can't have TWO Feral characters. Once a Feral turns into a Guardian/Vagrant, you can make a new character. Vagrants should choose which of their Nightmare or Human is more dominant. (NOTE: Rule # 12 can change in the future.)

12. It is required to format your post like this:

Location: Depending on the map of the city (otherwise, use 'Unknown')
Role: Feral, Guardian, Watcher, Vagrant, or Unrevealed
Status: Daytime/Nighttime
Item/s:

POST ENTRY POST ENTRY POST ENTRY POST ENTRY POST ENTRY POST ENTRY POST ENTRY POST ENTRY POST ENTRY POST ENTRY

13. NPC's are UNLIMITED as long as they are discarded on the same post they were introduced.

14. NO GOD-MODDING. NO SPAM. 5 POSTS/DAY.

15. I command you to interact with as many users as you can! XD

Human Name: Madeleine Sia
Age: 9
Gender: Female
Role: Feral
Description: Long black hair, usually very messy. Gray eyes and very frail looking. She may not look the part, but Madeleine is strong-willed and optimistic. She always has a smile for everyone.

Short Bio:
One word that can describe Madeleine would be 'fragile'. She has been sickly since birth, with a thin constitution and weak lungs. Her father died when she was only two years old, leaving her mom to work double jobs to provide for food and her medication.

When Madeleine was six, her mother died through a road accident, getting run over by an anonymous driver who sped away after hitting her *anyone who wants to be this character? hehe*. After she died, Madeleine was entrusted to her uncle's care in exchange for $500 compensation every month from social services.

Her new family was cruel to her, making her do chores and beating her up for no reason at all. When they insist she was being 'bad', they lock her up in the cold basement for a number of days without feeding her. Because of this, she developed a fear of the dark.

Madeleine drifts off to sleep to escape her world.

Fear: Fear of the Dark

++

Nightmare Name: Jigsaw
Description: A man with skin as black as the night. He wears white clothes with white gloves. He has no mouth, he does not speak. He appears to be respectable looking, yet there is something about him you wouldn't want to know. He is a puzzle by himself.
Powers: To shapeshift into anything you fear, [EDIT] He is very fond of riddles, puzzles and mind games to tease and taunt his victims. It seems that he rather enjoys tormenting human minds than bodies.
Strengths: The Dark, Fear
Weaknesses: Light, Daytime, defeat his puzzles

Interesting! Go ahead

[EDIT] Just take note Rem, if either of the Nightmare or Human has more role than the other , you're considered a Vagrant.

Ferals are roles where both Nightmare and Human have the same level of dominance (i.e. they both take an active part in the plot).

Human Name: Glaiza

Age:20

Gender: Female

Role: Depends on the submitted role that I gave to i_say_sabotage and whether she'll approve

Description: She's a happy person, or rather she tries to appear happy, struggling with a secret past that she pretends not to exist. Most of the time she pulls it off and people have no clue about her struggles, and yet sometimes the shadows of her past catch up with her.

Appearance: http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff122/janajee/Glaiza.jpg

Past: It was already dark when her older brother, Xedo, and Glaiza came home to find their house ransacked and their parents, thrown outside the house, dead. Xedo goes in, specifically telling her to stay inside, but she doesn't listen. Glaiza cautiously follows him inside to find Xedo struggling for breath and the shadow of large creature fleeing outside. Xedo dies in her arms, and she spends the rest of her life trying her best to move on, but she is plagued by nightmares of a large creature appearing to finish the job of killing her family. Bits and pieces of her past and why seems to show themselves whether she likes it or not.

Fear: She fears the night, and the dark especially for it reminds her of the night she wants to completely forget.

++

Nightmare Name: Sean

Description: Sean is crazy. That's all there is to it. You never know what he's thinking and what he's going to do next. He thrives in the dark and awaits his victims, and when he gets them he treats them the same way as a cat plays with his food. Sometimes he lets his victims go, most scarred beyond all reason, some left unharmed. Sean has no rules, and he does what he does because he wants to.

Appearance: Only Glaiza really knows what Sean really looks like. According to some he has allowed to live, he seems to be a blond pretty boy with green eyes (http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff122/janajee/Sean.jpg), but since they're usually mentally unhinged, these witnesses can't be fully trusted.

Powers: He usually does his magic in the dark, so nobody really knows what his powers are. Though some have witnessed that he uses shadows to grab his victims. His attractive good looks also makes it easier to attract most of his female victims.

Strengths: He is absolutely unpredictable.

Weaknesses: Glaiza's past.

Human Name: Izayoi Saito
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Role: Vagrant
Description: Dark Brown Hair, dark eyes, 6'1'', Average Build. Doesn't like to get involved in troubles. Prefers to live a normal life.
Short Bio: As a child, Saito was a cheerful and talented one. Skilled in athletic, acedemic activities, as well as the creative arts. He was seen as a genius boy. However, his life like this changed when he slaughtered his parents. He was taken to a mental institute at the age of 10 and was held there for quite some time. He was diagnosed as having dissociative Identity Disorder, which explained the incident in which he killed his own parents. He was released at the age of 17 after his other self was purged. However, he always lived in fear that something similar might happen to him.
Fear: Identity Disorder

++

Nightmare Name: Yami
Description: A girl about Saito's age having long raven dark hair and two black feathered wings. As well as this she was clothed in a black cloak.
Powers: Metamorphosis - The ability to change her body parts into objects such as weapons and tools.
Strengths:
Weaknesses:

Question, does the nightmare have its own body, or does it take control of its owners body. I might change the bio dependent on this.

In a Feral's case, it's like Astral Projection. The body remains asleep and the Nightmare assumes a different form.

For Vagrants and Guardians, they work alongside a conscious body. Guardians, who have 100% control of their nightmares, takes less effort, therefore, they can use their Nightmares even during daytime.

Vagrants share their consciousness with their Nightmares so the mental strain is heavier. It will affect the Human character. So you can either let the Human sleep or enter a trance (which gives the Nightmare 100% control) or disperse the Nightmare's will (gives Human 100% control). Therefore, it is advisable to control one of the either.

1st character

Human Name: Karn

Age: 28

Gender: Male

Role: Guardian

Description:
http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/v...-183469547.jpg (http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv216/matt_1994/anime-guy-183469547.jpg)
Karn is a zealous Guardian. To him everything must be done to get a job done with no holding back. He will use any and all methods to get the job done. He is a very straight forward kind of person.

Short Bio: Karn's father was devote, religious person and would find faults in everything Karn did. He beat him for his wrong doings and often left him scarred. This caused Karn to grow up scared of doing any wrong, and began to take its toll of his sanity
This was until one night when his nightmare appeared and went berserk, destroying his home and family. Almost driven insane by it he attacked and defeated his own nightmare. A near by guardian that witnessed this appeared before him and took him away to become a guardian.
Ever since he became a guardian he has mastered his nightmare completely and began a zealous cleansing of other nightmares. Despite being good at what he does, the guardians make sure to have some watching him. For they fear the day will come when he forgets the oath of as guardian and begins to just destroy randomly.

Fear: Failure

++

Nightmare Name: Gray

Description: http://i677.photobucket.com/albums/v...ursedChaos.jpg (http://i677.photobucket.com/albums/vv137/Shadowsun77/Grey_Knight_by_CursedChaos.jpg)
He is in fact an empty suit of armour. When he appears he surrounds Karn sealing him inside. This provides protection for Karn and allows Karn to control him better. Karn can leave at any time he pleases.

Powers: Piercing lance - Gray's lance can pierce any substance including ones that normally wouldn't such as things that can fade out of existence ect.

Strengths: Tough armour and quick movements. His lance.

Weaknesses: Limited arc of view. Complete dependence on Karn will not act without him.

Karn will be this colour

2nd character

Human Name: Jace

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Role: Vagrant

Description: http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee69/deano_the_dragon_master/RolePlays/The%20Begining/anime_guy.jpg
Jace used to be a kind hearted boy and at times he still is. But more then often he is a cruel sadistic person who enjoys the pain he inflicts if it can help him forget his own fear.

Short Bio: Jace was a kind boy. He did nothing wrong in his life. He did well at school. He tried hard. He loved and lost and he lived through it all. But under the mask he wore there was one thing he always feared. His own mortality. He feared the day when he would die. He feared aging.
This fear grew and would haunt him at night. Then slowly he began to hear something whisper to him. Claming he could be saved from it all. This continued to happen until one night he woke up to find the source of those words before him. Laid out on his bed was a scythe. It began to speak to him from with his mind. Jace was scared and unsure what to do. But he didn’t want to die and so he took up the scythe.
At first it was horrible. Night after night he would pick it up and then wake up the next morning unsure what he had done. But slowly he gained more and more control. He began using it to help his own gain, unknown to what it was really doing to him.
He now has mastered it and developed the ability to let it appear at will. Jace has since become a cruel boy.

Fear: Death

++

Nightmare Name: Thanatos

Description: See scythe in picture for Jace.
Thanatos is cruel and sly. He enjoys corrupting people and gets a kick out of watching others suffer. He sees only what is good for him. He must be wielded by Jace as a weapon but since he has mastered Jace’s body this proves little problem. Unknown to Jace he is slowly draining his free will until Jace is purely under Thanatos’ control.

Powers: Thanatos can summon illusions that can confuse those he fights.

Strengths: Illusions, the fact his is a weapon. He can pass strength onto Jace so that he becomes faster and stronger.

Weaknesses: He needs Jace’s body to fight with, and well Jace is human.

Jace will be this colour.

Any problems just let me know.

05-26-2009, 11:33 AM

Human name: Piers DeFoe
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Role: Guardian
Description: Not very tall, around 5’7” or 5’8”, slender with some muscle mass but not bulky in the least. Piers has bluish-gray eyes and blond hair that comes down to his chin, parted on the side, hanging away from his eyes. He always wears a dress jacket over a blue turtleneck and black pants with black dress shoes. He is cheerful and humorous, but also serious when it comes to his job.

Bio: Piers entered the Army shortly after his graduation. Because of his stellar academic performance and high scores on military testing, he was given a position later in the Army as a psychological operations member. He remained active in training with the rest of his squadron in the field for four years until an event that changed his life occurred.

As his platoon was conducting mock field operations in a heavily forested area, Piers was assigned to perform recon on an isolated patch of forest for five hours alone, practicing for maneuvers that would be necessary in situations where manpower was limited. In doing so, Piers fell into what was once the foundation of a home that had been demolished. The very small basement of the old home still remained and had been covered with brush to make it appear like the rest of the forest floor. The basement, like many older homes, was deep despite its small area, too deep for Piers to climb out of, no matter how he tried. His radio broken due to the fall, he waited for seven hours to be discovered, two hours after he had failed to rendezvous with the rest of his platoon, prompting an immediate search.

During the night the moon’s rays slanted into the basement, casting bizarre shadows all around Piers. Despite his efforts to calm himself, reassuring himself of his overreaction to the shadows, noises seemed to echo around him as well, small, skittering noises. Though this was probably due to some creature that was just afraid of him as he was of it, Piers developed the extreme fear that would later become his nightmare.

Neither his superiors nor Piers himself knew the truth of what was going on inside his mind; nevertheless, just as all soldiers who suffer extreme sleep problems are discharged from service, so was Piers. Shortly after his discharge the nightmare made an appearance that occurred when Piers was not sleeping. His first emotion was extreme fear and disbelief…yet the appearance also reminded him that it was this very nightmare that had caused his promising job in the military to come to an abrupt end. Piers abandoned his fear and charged the extremely quick, amorphous black shadow and, to his surprise…it ran. The next time it appeared in a dream, Piers did the same thing. That was the last time his nightmare commanded any free will of its own, and now that it was defeated in and outside of Piers’s mind, Piers found that he had control over it. After being tracked by the guardians due to the information contained in his military discharge, he joined their cause with a great deal of resolve.

Piers has been controlling his nightmare for two years and has had several harrowing experiences combating other nightmares with the other guardians. He has worked in the psych ward of St. Birch Hospital (retaining what little semblance of his military career in psychological operations that he can) for the same amount of time. He is also a man of faith. Hearing the stories of some of the patients has caused him to suspect that others may exist who are suffering from similar nightmares…and there may also be some who have succeeded in controlling them. Frustrated by the lack of academic research concerning this phenomenon, Piers seeks to study it himself. Having a great deal of confidence in his ability due to his control over his nightmare, Skitters, Piers is on the hunt for information and on the lookout for loose nightmares, all the while hoping that he may find some to aid him in this endeavor.

Fear: Confined spaces with little light; strange noises accentuate this fear.

Nightmare name: Skitters

Appearance: Amorphous, black shape that usually stands upright at an unimpressive five feet, shorter than Piers himself. Extremely slender with no face, arms, or legs, Skitters appears to rise out of the ground itself. When Skitters darts back and forth his shape becomes even more amorphous, stretching out at times.

Strengths: Skitters is extremely quick and small, making him excellent at evading attacks. He can pick up many objects at a time, forming amorphous hands with his shape that is never quite definable, just small. The objects Skitters picks up can be hurled or swung with some force, but not an overwhelming amount. Though it seems that Skitters has no considerable amount of power, Piers uses his own intellect and Skitters’s speed to devise plans that hinge upon brains over brawn.

Weaknesses: Skitters is amazingly weak, and unless he has some object to pick up, he can’t be considered much of a threat. The most he can do with no objects around is trip and wear down an enemy with his speed. In truth, most humans are much more physically stronger than Skitters.

Human Name: Harue

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Role: Guardian in training explained in bio

Appearance: Harue (http://media.photobucket.com/image/heise/silverfire1123/Random%20Anime/HeiseJinyao1.jpg?o=548)

Harue without robe and mask on (http://media.photobucket.com/image/heise/Mismatched_Dreams/Heise/whatReijicandowithelectricity.jpg?o=232)

Personality: Very calm, not the talkative kind, but he keeps well informed and he keeps people just as well informed. He's merely bookish and people begin to see him as that. He buries himself in books and reads sharing every experience with the book rather then people. Most shouldn't take it to seriously that he even distrust most people, but that's due to his past. Harue doesn't open himself very often and when he does you should really cherish that moment. Harue has very little friends. He also a ad frightful when it comes to objects of his trauma.

Short Bio: They were men in oni masked dressed in armor. They were taking the spoils back to their camp. The somehow were rather taunting their enemy with such a cocky display of costume. Amongst them was a young boy. He was shackled to the long group of prisoners of the residents in the middle of the battle. A city in a battle how absurd and yet it happened. Amongst the boy was his parents. This boy was no other then Harue. He watched as the men from the army took a look at each person as if they were gold laced jewels. If they weren't to their satisfaction they would kill them right then and there. Harue watched down the line each one getting beheaded like tossed aside rag dolls. Finally, it was his fathers turn. His father would be a jewel, Harue knew that. His father was amazing. Harue was in more shock as he saw they beheaded their father. This meant no chance for himself now correct. His mother and then him. His mother was beheaded too. And Harue closed his eyes not to want to face the ugly truth of death.
"I like the expression on this one, so young and fair skin a good slave if you ask me," mumbled the captain from the corner.
Dragged by chains to serve whatever the captain wanted.

As the child grows from six to ten they drag him off to a room several times a week with a camera on. They call him the struggler, but how they like the fight it gives them. Nothing their wives can compete with.
"Let...let go," Harue said.
Unwanted touches and unwanted hands everywhere along his body and the camera was witness.

From ten to fifteen Harue has bruises and watches as servants get killed just for serving the tea wrong. He serves the tea and the captains fancy whenever he wants. Harue ever night he sleeps is an insomniac night full of terrors of what the waking world will bring him tomorrow.

Fifteen to sixteen there is a raid on the captain's army base. Harue and several servants are rescued. They are clothed, given food, and hospitality. Harue is plagued by the back room horrors and murders that played out. They turn into an extreme form of night terrors and nightmares. But Harue realizes even though he fought he didn't fight for his freedom. Therefore Harue needs to fight for his freedom this way.

And that is how he became a guardian a desire to control his beast, to control his fears, and nightmares. All though he is still much learning. Since it was only last year that he had escaped the horrors of war. He's trying his hardest and that is why he's a guardian. Because he is very good at it. Of course he needs work.

Fear: Fear of people's touch and fear of blood

Nightmare Name: Grauld

Description: Yes that weird mutated no eyed dragon (http://media.photobucket.com/image/heise/kei_kitsune1777/Heise%20and%20others/The_Luvender_by_quartz.jpg?o=1361)

Powers: Dream absorbing, the ability to dissect dreams and absorb them in it's body.

Strengths: Dream absorbing allows Grauld to create new limbs if limbs were ever missing. Grauld's body is made out of regenerative tissue.

Human Name: Demetrius Falcon

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Role: Vagrant

http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh443/XxSadisticVampireChickxX/emoboy-1.jpg

Description: Demetrius has a trust issue, and most of the time he never agrees to what people say. He's ideal way to solve a problem is by simply avoiding it. He sports a red, emo hairstyle and is always seen with headphones over his ears, to tone down the voice of his annoying "nightmare"

Short Bio: Demetrius was born to a family of doctors and had a happy life. But on the age of ten, his whole life shattered in front of his eyes. His parents, known for the great skill in medicine, helped cure the wounded during the last "rebellion" of their country. His parents helped anyone who were injured, even the rebels themselves. The government saw this as a case of high treason, and decided to assassinate the two doctors.

On one faithful night, Demetrius was soundly sleeping on his bed when a loud noise was heard, ringing through the house. Suddenly, his mother came into the room, telling him to hide under the bed and not to make a sound. As he hid underneath the metal frame of his bed, he could hear the horrified screams of his father, as he tried to protect his family.

The door was burst open, and Demetrius covered his mouth to prevent himself from screaming. The last sound he heard that night was the painful moans of his mother as the soldiers murdered her. They flung her dead corpse onto the mattress and left it there to rot. Demetrius refused to come out of his hiding place, even to the point that his dead mother's blood came dripping on his face, until he was sure that the soldiers had left. From that forward, Demetrius vowed to find out who did this to his family and give them the just punishment they deserve.

However, due to this incident, Demetrius developed a fear of blood, which again developed into his nightmare of a certain female vampire, who Demetrius always call... that old hag.

Fear: Haemophobia (Blood)

[2nd character]

Name: Gill Megara
Age: 16 [EDIT: Made him younger cos Talli called him kid when they're actually the same age haha]
Gender: Male
Role: WATCHER
Description: Black hair and long bangs. Chin length hair. Jumpy disposition. Bad posture.

Short Bio: Gill has been able to see other people's nightmares ever since he was young, but he denied their existence and did not reveal himself as a Watcher. He dismissed his visions as part of his anxiety and stress.

Although he is fully aware of Nightmares, he strongly refuses to take any part of the conflict. He just wants to live his life without complications, so he hides his powers to himself.

Recently, the visions are becoming clearer and clearer, haunting him even during the day. He is beginning to enter a trance more frequently that he often finds loose sheets of paper, wall doodles and various things he has made of his visions. He has no idea when or how he made them.

He has good heart in spite all, he's just a bit of a weak character. He believes and hopes nobody knows he is a Watcher.

(He is made purely for the Library encounter so his lifespan is rather short.... But I might keep him as a character depending on the situation. :D)

Shobu_Shimizu

05-29-2009, 05:22 PM

EDIT: I wwent back to look at Alanna's pic and realized that the photobucket pic was gone so I chose the pic that looked closest to the old one.

Human Name: Alanna O'Leary
Age: 16
Gender: female
Role: feral
Description: Alanna (http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q18/aprilxx_photos/anime%20pics/50890.jpg)
Hair= Red-orange
Eyes= Green
Clothes= normal and NOT a maid's outfit
Personality: Somewhat of an odd girl that is cheerful and very easy to get along with, but that isn't saying she doesn't get upset. She's an anime fanatic, but isn't a fangirl about it. She's kind but she's way too honest for her own good, which gets her in trouble sometimes. She doesn't take crap from people. Word vomit is common with her.
Short Bio: Alanna was born with asthma, but its never really threatened her life. Sometimes her asthma starts working up a bit worse than other times, but that’s about it. To anyone else, that wouldn’t be a problem, but because of Alanna’s deathly fear of hospitals, she refuses to go to the hospital even if she is in bad condition. Her parents have always had to drag her or call a house doctor. Alanna’s fear of hospitals began when she was a child. She had to stay overnight in a hospital once. She had been awoken in the middle of the night by something that had pushed her off a bed. When she looked to see who it was, she saw the figure of a nurse in an old uniform staring down at her. She was living in Japan at that time (her parents are in the military), and although she doesn’t leave there anymore, she's still terrified of hospitals.
Fear: Nosocomephobia (fear of hospitals)

++

Nightmare Name: Yuuko
Description: Yuuko (http://wiimedia.ign.com/wii/image/article/896/896629/fatal-frame-mask-of-the-lunar-eclipse-20080805015014799_640w.jpg)
Powers: She can reach inside you and grip your internal organs as if she’s about to pull them out, and she will if you make her angry enough. This usually paralyzes people but it’s not impossible to jerk away.
Strengths: She knows everything abut the human body. She has the keenest sense of smell to allow her to move as if she could see.
Weaknesses: She's blind

05-29-2009, 07:02 PM

Human Name: Chinatsu Kairoshi
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Role: Watcher
Description: She is a 6'3 girl with long black hair. Her eyes are calico, one is red one is black, and has pale-white skin. Chinatsu acts different from every other teenage girl. She is a bit tougher and stronger than most and doesnt really talk much. Aside from that she doesnt know how to express her feelings that well and is a very lonely person.
Short Bio: Chinatsu was born with Lymphocytopenia (a blood disease, I watch to many medical shows....and sorry Shobu if I copy.) which caused her to be abandoned by her parents. When she became 14, she was admitted to the hospital because of a horrible illness she got from the disease. Ever since then, Chinatsu has been raised in a hospital all the way in San Francisco, thousands of miles away from her home in Spain.

The short memories I have are from those quick jolts the world seems to give. One or two of those short memories I have are from a car accident. Another one or two is recovery. I have no true memory only memory that comes into burst. Is it weird? Possible. Is it strange? Most likely. All I have to do is find the hidden key points of my past. And then I shall be sure this forgetfulness of memories and dreams will be gone. Is it torture? I am not sure.

Age: 20 or is He

Gender: Male

Role: Guardian

Personality: Allen is an odd one. He very quiet, but there is a side to him that is controlling and even manipulative. He tends to be a very introverted person. He appears calm and quiet. But he's more emotionless and full of nothing. A hollow thing absorbing emotions. You could just plainly say he's more of a sociopath then anything else.

Appearance: Allen (http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e200/wallpaperboi/Male/Aya19.jpg?t=1243877458)

Short Bio: Child, no money, no family. Family dead. Child on the streets. And what does a child on the streets do for money. Everything, well almost everything. Everything that gets him money. If they are a cute kid they use their cuteness to get through in life. If they are an ugly kid they use pity. If they are an attractive kid just odd, they create a talent. And that is what Allen did. He created his name and he created his talent. At an early age he was a dare devil a risk taker. He did numerous acts on the streets that involved fear. Because of this Allen decided he would make it his goal to master all fear. And with the mastery of all fear Allen would then go on to create other things.
Allen's nightmare isn't controlled by fear, it's controlled by imagination.

Fear: None has learned to control Fear

@ Sparkly : Great idea! I agree to that. That's why I made Guardians because they stand for the "mastering your fear" thing. But I guess, character-wise, uncontrollable, flawed and oftentimes sadistic characters are oozing inappeal (thus, the vagrant popularity haha). Anyway, I'm glad the character's a Guardian. I want to know if he's a newly-inducted member, or somebody the rest of the Guardians have known for a while.

@ Cross & Kei : Nice to see you Guardians are pumped up and optimistic despite the odds! *woot*! remember the Guardian Recruitment Poster from before? There is an idea of actually making that happen hehe but that might be for later...

Description: (Picture (http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/442/seda.png), though she wears different clothes >_>) Seda prefers wearing no-fuss dark pants and shirts most of the time, usually covered with her knee-length trenchcoat. In a crowd, she simply blends in (just the way she likes it) and appears as a very ordinary and unimposing young woman. Her favourite attire is most unusual for someone who grew up in Africa, but that shall all be explained in her bio.

[Edit] Regarding the way she acts, she is not "nice". If there was a good cop/bad cop routine going on, she would most definitely be bad cop. As someone I knew once put it: "Lawful good does not always mean lawful nice."

Seda is not the type to beat around the bush, or the type to sugarcoat ANYTHING. Though she is not bitter towards people and when meeting someone new, will react with polite indifference. She can be an easy person to become allies with, if you can stand her constantly making snide remarks about anything at the drop of a hat or her hot temper. As easy as she is to befriend, it is easy for her to break ties with people if they step over the personal boundary she has set between the whole world and herself.

Short Bio: Born and raised in Africa, Seda was very attached to her family and even her village, as it was a small and close-knit one. When she was 16, she was informed by her parents that she was in an arranged marriage with her childhood best friend, Ande. For Seda, this was a dream come true because of the fact Ande had been there all her life, he was well-liked by her village and family, and he had always been a pillar of strength for her.

Unfortunately, on the night that her village was celebrating their engagement, it attracted the attention of one of Africa's deadliest snakes, the black mamba. She and Ande had excused themselves from the festivities in order to talk about the life they had ahead of them. It was then that the mamba decided to attack. In order to protect his beloved, Ande suffered a fatal bite from the serpent before it retreated and disappeared into the night.

Seda ran back to the village, helping a slowly dying Ande, but when they arrived, they saw that the giant snake had attacked their village. Some fled but many were trapped by the snake, dying from its fatal poison. The commotion had caused many of the torches to be knocked over and their huts to be set on fire. Those who escaped the snake could not escape the flames. To Seda, the tendrils looked like demonic snakes killing her people.

The mamba turned its attention to the two and Seda watched as its fangs glistened in the moonlight, dripping with the deadly poison. It made one strike at her but instead of feeling its bite, she saw that Ande had raised his arm and that was what the snake's jaws were clamped on. Taking advantage of the snake's distraction, Seda grabbed Ande's blade and forced it through the serpent's skull, effectively killing it.

But it was already too late for Ande or any of her people. She collapsed on the ground next to him, listening as his heartbeat slowed... And slowed... And slowed... Then stopped. The fire died down and, by daybreak, all that was left of her village was ash, blood and bodies.

Soon after, she was adopted by a European couple and given a (as they called it) "civilized" life. However, she was still tormented by images of that snake. The mamba appeared in her nightmares and threatened to consume her entire being. In one dream, she remembered cursing it and screaming that if it had already taken away all that was important to her, it should very well take HER.

Suddenly, the nightmares stopped. And as days passed, Seda noticed a new mamba appearing to her. One that was not as vicious. One that she KNEW she could control.

Fear: Snakes

++

Nightmare Name: Vidar

Description: (Picture (http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/1534/vidar.png)) Simply put, Vidar is a vicious black mamba who listens to no one but Seda. Being a Nightmare, Vidar is MUCH larger than the common black mamba. Twenty feet long with the girth of a large tree, his appearance alone is already imposing. He may appear whenever Seda wants and she calls him back at her discretion as well. Also, they share a master-pet relationship and Vidar "talks" to Seda (but he will not say anything in the RP).

Powers: His fangs are his weapons and his poison has a different effect on Nightmares compared to a normal mamba's. Instead of shutting DOWN the heart and lungs of its victims, it speeds them up, bringing the victim's body close to overworking itself and eventually dying. However, his poison only lasts for ten seconds and after that, he cannot use it again unless Seda calls him back and allows him to rest. So in a fight, he relies on using his fangs and teeth more as blades than as injections. Then slamming his body against the opponent usually works well too.

Strengths: The night is good to him and Seda. Something about the moonlight recharges Vidar and allows his him to fight with more vigor.

Weaknesses: Inversely, Vidar hates the day and especially high noon. It makes him hungry and sleepy and his movements are more sluggish.

@ AkiraRayneRyuu : We're limiting our charii (oh that is just too cute) to 2 chariis per user at the moment, and a Watcher can't have a second character, sorry! >< (This is because Watchers know the plot, and it would be unfair for the others if you know who/what will happen throughout the RP).

But do keep your character profile! It might come in handy... who knows?

First of all, pardon for the double-post (but I guess I can get away with it cos my last post was AGES ago hehehe).

Here's a new character for some added development :D

++

Human Name: Nerisa Megara
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Role: Feral
Description: Nerisa has long auburn hair which is usually in a bun or a ponytail. She doesn't fix herself much because she is always running around for the latest scoop, always busy finishing a write-up, always shouting around the office for the indignity of it all. She sports a pair of black rimmed glasses over her brown eyes, and can be seen in an unflattering orange vest, black slacks and (horrible) worn-out sneakers.

Although there is more to her than a fashion disaster, she is one of the headstrong reporters for The Local Town Tribunal (the town newspaper). Perhaps the only reason she hasn't made editor-in-chief is her stubborn belief in the "supernatural".

Nerisa is very superstitious. She is a great fan of the paranormal, of the uncanny and the unexplained. Oftentimes, her news writing can be considered biased towards her beliefs, that is why the Editor asks for repetitive revisions on her work.

In spite of that, Nerisa is a talented reporter and largely considered an asset, which is why she's still atop of the game (in spite her obvious interest in questionable information).

(I cant find a worthy pic of her so I might consider drawing her when I'm not busy)

Short Bio: Nerisa grew up in a quiet suburban household with a strict father and an almost-absent mother.

Since her father wanted a son as a new-born, he has instilled a certain kind of resentment towards Nerisa and obviously favored his second child, Gill (you guys might remember the Watcher). Her father was a quick-tempered man, formerly a Law Enforcer and would likely practice corporal punishment whenever he was in a bad mood. He finally died of heart attack when Nerisa was sixteen, just before her unlucky motorbike incident that awakened her Nightmare for some reason.

Her father's constant negative attitude forced Nerisa to grow up to be a perfectionist. She strove to prove herself to her father by being the top in class, in sports and in other activities just to fill up the low self-esteem she secretly covers up.

She joined the Tribunal right after college, working as the best newspaper reporter to date.

Fear: Ignorance/Naivety

++

Nightmare Name: Sneckdraw

Description: A man appearing to have pale, scaly skin, that of a snake. His eyes are beady black. He doesn't have eyelids. His hands are always seen crossed over his legs, like they were chained or bound. A black fedora makes him seem like a normal man at first glance but once you see him clearly, you will notice a hollow smile extending from ear to ear. A hangman's noose is cradled on his neck.

Powers: The ability to know the "truth". He is able to read thoughts, gossip in the wind, news, events, etc. He is the one responsible for the "clues" and riddles found in the newspaper by "sucking" Jigsaw's thoughts and putting them down through Nerisa's subconscious writing. It is unconfirmed if the two Nightmares are working together. (If they are, watch out)

Strengths: Secrets, Mysteries, Gossip. Loves eating people's secrets an using it against them.

Weaknesses: Verity (truthfulness)

++

An additional NOTE:

I will also be controlling Mozion Ironwill's character from now on, knowing he won't mind.

She is a rebel and can get mad pretty easily depending on what the subject is about. Meril is very strong willed and stubborn and will accomplish anything she puts her mind to.

Short Bio: When Meril was young, her father left her and her mother. She grew up with very little friends since she loved to be alone most of her time. As she grew up, she always had these strange intuitive vibes about people and remained away from them since she couldn't trust them. She kept her feelings to herself and faked/disguised her emotions whenever they had to be. Meril was top honors in school and studied a lot to become a famous musician or artist someday. She decided to take up photography as a hobby and believes she could make it a profession.

Human Name: Vierra Lamfetti
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Role: Vagrant
Personality: Indifferent to all and not one to bother with small details, Vierra is unusually blunt and cold-hearted. She has a tendency to say exactly what her thoughts are on the subject. Vierra never sugar-coats statements, which is why she doesn’t have many friends, if any. Although she doesn’t have any ill intentions, many people misunderstand her due to her cold demeanor.
Appearance: Vierra has long raven colored hair that is usually clipped up, with a few tendrils draping down. The ends and her bangs are dyed a blood red. She also has sharp violet eyes that look deep and unfeeling. Her usual attire consists of gray denim jeans, a long red t-shirt, dark red arm warmers, a metal belt, long moon shaped earrings, and white sneakers.

Short Bio: Vierra’s mother ran away with another man when she was 7 years old. Pushed into depression, her father relied on alcohol to get through the day. Sometimes, he would get so drunk that he would blame Vierra for everything, hitting her and throwing things at her. Often times he would leave her alone for weeks. She hated him from the bottom of her heart. But somewhere deep inside, she still had a bit of hope that he would go back to his usual, kind self…

One day, her father approached her and apologized for everything he had done. He wanted to go back to the way they used to be. She gladly accepted, too happy to be suspicious. She was happy, for awhile. He brought her to an amusement park, and leaned down to whisper in her ear. He told her he hated her, detested her, and wanted to kill her. He wanted to give her everything she wanted, only to take it all away so that she would suffer…with that, he pulled out a fruit knife and brought it down on her chest. Luckily, somebody had seen the fruit knife in his jacket, and had been following them. The by-stander shoved Vierra’s father and the knife hit her shoulder instead of her heart. She survived, but never trusted another human after that day.

Fear: Deception

++

Nightmare Name: Tira
Description: Her full name is actually Mentira, which means “Lie” in Spanish. She is a cunning girl, you never know when she is telling the truth or telling a lie. Her greatest joy is when people believe in her lies and are utterly devastated when they discover the truth. Her eyes are a golden hue, her hair a stunning ice blue. She wears a high collared cloak and black leather pants with many buckles on the legs. She doesn’t wear shoes.

Powers: Illusions. She can show you your greatest wish, or your worst nightmare. Either will get to the victim immediately, rendering them unable to neither fight nor defend. They are not even able to tell what’s reality and what is fake. Some don’t want to.
Strengths:
Weaknesses: Truth, Honestly, Innocence

Human Name: Sebastian Alexander DiLarenzo III

Age: 32

Gender: Male

Role: Vagrant

Description: A calm, cool, collected man who can handle any situation appropriately. That is, till he blacks out. When he comes to, he remembers nothing, and panic ensues. This is a very rare occasion, but is generally quite serious when it happens. He does what he can to get away, to flee town before having to rely on his Nightmare to help him escape. Physically Alex is a Ken doll brought to life, with perfect features. A gorgeous man with the charisma of a god.
Short Bio: Alex's Nightmare is not of his own, but rather it is the Nightmare of those who share his name. The ones who came before him are of ancient times. In History there are two great calamities that are spoken of, yet not in great detail. Alex's Nightmare, Ruiner, claims those feats personally. Not knowing his birth parents, Ruiner explained to Alex that a man of the correct bloodline is given this name when the world is in need of a dramatic change, when it must be purged of it's evil. Alex lives a life of a con-man, doing what he can so satisfy his hunger for sin, while not fulling trusting Ruiner, for he knows he keeps secrets from him and exposes little to him.

Fear: Himself

Nightmare Name: Ruiner
Description: http://fc01.deviantart.com/fs39/i/2009/001/f/0/Darksiders_War__Joe_Mad_by_Nubry.jpg

Powers: The ability to destroy ones strengths, only leaving their weakness.

Strengths: Starts off almost worthless, but gains more control over Alex as he uses his powers. Using Ruiner slowly destroys Alex in all ways, physical to mental till the human Alex is no more, thus assuming his role as a calamity.

Weaknesses: True potential is far from released.

((Edited to avoid godmode-ness :D ))
Character Profile:

Human Name: Aiden Hayes
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Role:
Description:

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c17/solsanches/Stare_by_Zaphk.jpg

He likes cats and enjoying carnivals with friends.
Short Bio:
Aiden, like most children, grew up dependent and trusting on adults. He does his best in schoolwork, aspires to be a doctor and has quite a circle of friends. Some girls in the 6th grade once trapped Aiden in a graveyard, with a giant black Labrador that kept barking at him all night.
Unlike all children he knows he is never alone. He laughs and talks loudly with friends because it helps ignore it. He listens to music before he sleeps. But at times he has no choice. When he is forced to be quiet and he is left in his dark room he could feel it listening to his thoughts. Aiden knows and feels the presence there. In his mind, it is like being in complete darkness and you know someone is there with you. It is patiently waiting, like it knows the perfect moment will come. And it smiles as it watches you.
Aiden tried to find an explanation for this but the best he could come up with is his unconscious. He wonders too if other children think their Unconscious is alive. Eventually he realized that they don’t.

Fear: Being alone, especially in the dark, especially with dogs

++

Nightmare Name: Theo
Description:
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c17/solsanches/emo_anime_dude_by_desperationdiseas.jpg

Powers:
Theo remembers everything Aiden ever looks at, from what he reads in books to random faces in a crowd.
His forearms can take the form of anything in his will. (Due to conservation of matter he can’t make it anything bigger than the amount of flesh he gives it. Also, should he destroy something, it hurts him in the process.)
He can also speak telepathically to other Nightmares. Whether or not the human hears him is usually up to the amount of free will the Nightmare has.

Strengths:
Weaknesses: Theo is afraid of cats and carnivals (or anything from there, like kewpie dolls and clowns). If overwhelmed by them he’d hide back in Aiden’s mind.

Human Name:Alaunus Rivera
Age:27
Gender:Male
Role:Watcher
Description:Alaunus, trapped in a fire when he was younger nd lost the ability to walk, now sits in a wheelchair. His skin is a pale-like purple, this is due to the burns he received when he was younger and never actually fully healed. His hair is a dark red colour and his eyes a dright yellow. Most of his body is covered in bandages including his chest, shoulders, and hands, and the upper left half of his face. Parts of himself not covered by bandages include the waist area,the parts of the arm that connects the wrist to the elbow, and the right half of his face. He usually has an olive green blanket over his legs, keeping the lower half of his body hidden.
Persoanlity:Alaunus is a very mysterious person. Though he attempts to be nice, his raspy voice tends to frighten people away. Due to this, he keeps to himself and shares information with people who are actually willing to talk with him. Though in the end, he tends to be cryptic with the advice he tells other people.
Short Bio:When Alaunus was young, both his parents died and was forced to live by himself. At about age ten, a fire broke out in his house and a burning piece of lumber fell onto his legs, crushing them and gave him severe burns all over his body. He was rushed to the hospital and took up to eight years to recover. He had lost his sight in his left eye, even though he is covered by bandages there, and is restricted to a wheel chair. During the time he was blind in both eyes, right after the fire, he gave birth to his Nightmare Noth, to allow him to see things as he was blind. Another 9 years past since he left the hospital, able to see again in his right eye. He spends most of his time in the vacinity of the broken clocktower, helping anyone who comes to him seeking knowledge with his ability as a watcher.
Fear:Blindness

+++

Nightmare Name:Noth
Description:Noth is a tall white being. His face is just a black void, but on his chest is a closed mouth, and on the palms of his hands are closed eyes, which are used to see things. The body is white as snow, and well built.
Powers:The ability to view the world as it is. Noth's body is as white as snow, with next to no flaws except for the mouth and eyes. The eyes on his hands, when open has a blood red cornea nd a
Strengths:Sight, Knowledge, Defense
Weaknesses:Only allows Alaunus too see things in the area he thinks of that is about the size of a small building. And is forced to see things in real time, never the future or past. (Which is where 'to view the world as it is' comes in.)

Just another character I thought about bringing to life. Let me know what you think!

Human Name: Ezelek Walore

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Role:

Description: http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o345/Anime_chick_random/-anime-guy.jpg
Ezelek Walore is a man of many traits. He is a very soft person who is always kind. He seems frail in his disposition, but is still quite able to keep himself composed. He is light-hearted and loving, full of life and second chances. He hides nothing of himself and stays as truthful as possible.

Short Bio: Work. In. Progress.

Fear: Losing Neshama, his remaining connection to his former life.

++

Nightmare Name: Neshama

Description: http://fc01.deviantart.com/fs10/i/2006/109/0/2/female_mech_alert_by_Spacetoy.jpg
Neshama is very direct and blunt most of the time. She is aggressive and impolite to anyone but Ezelek. She is very intelligent and thinks on a very logical level while still implying her ideals. Neshama's true appearance was lost when when Solluna died. But to Ezelek, it is Solluna he sees.

Powers: Neshama's greatest strength is in inspiring those around her. She grants strength, courage, life into those who share a will with Ezelek. She is mostly a supporting character. This is all done via just by her being present and allowing her power to flow into those who are in tuned with Ezelek. She has a few offensive abilities to fend for herself, but nothing overly impressive of fancy. Basically just above average fighting capabilities.

Strengths:

Gender:
Female

Guardian

Description:
http://i422.photobucket.com/albums/pp304/irish_02_2009/1_109185953l.jpg
Amber is a kind motherly figure sometimes and a hard stubbon one other times. She is very good at getting people to do what she wants or else face her wrath. She enjoys people just being who they are but will tease them when they don't. She likes people who are carefree and not afraid to show there emotions, as well as have a little bit of attitude. But she also knows when its time to play and when it tiem to do bussiness. Her firends and loved ones are the most important thing to her.

Amber grew up with her old brother Mark. A carefree child she looked up to her brother, who was a policeman, with great pride. Times were easy going for both to begin with. This changed when Mark discovered the existance of Nightmares. In a freak moment he got wrapped up in something beyond his control and she was dragged in as well.
When Mark became a guardian Amber was only 18 years old. She supported him as she could but she always felt useless to him. When one day she throught that he could be lost to her she broke down and had a mental collapse. When she woke she had discovered her own nightmare. A weapon style nightmare it wasn't like anything Mark or her had learned about. Calling itself Nim she fought furiosly to gain control over it. Mark supported her and she grew to gain more control over it.
She had a changing moment in her life when one day Mark came home with a young teenager the same age as her that he had found. His name was Karn and he had recently suffered because of his own Nightmare. Mark had seen the event and after witnessing him defeat his Nightmare first time he took him in to be a guardian. Amber wasn't too fond of Karn to begin with and they would spar often along with other Guardians in training. It wasn't until 6 years later that she began to see how close she was getting to him. That year he asked her out and the pair grew closer. However at the same time an attack took Marks life and left her broken for a while. Karn supported her through it, though affected by it himself, and the pair only got closer.
Recently she was away from the HQ on anothermission sent by the higher ups. She is a higher ranked gaurdian then any of the others and a hard worker. But when her soft side shines through people can't help but love and respect her. She didn't tell Karn the mission details but promised to return when she when done.

@ Valkarma: Amber is approved! ^^

Kotomi Ichinose

11-01-2009, 05:21 PM

Human Name: Kotomi Ichinose

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Role: Guardian

Description:

http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/characters/9/25843.jpg
Kotomi Ichinose has long indigo hair, and appears to have a perfectly sculpted face. She cares for others deeply, especially those she is close to. While she is sentimental, she is willing to fight for her values and her beliefs, and won't let anyone hurt anything she cares for. This includes the spirits of her dead parents, and her nightmare. Kotomi is sometimes a loner, however, and will carry a violin around which she plays when feeling in a depressive or lonely state.

Short Bio: Kotomi grew up knowing both her parents very closely, and considering them her biggest care in the world. However, one day her parents had to abandon her temporarily to go upon a cermonial trek rather than celebrate her birthday as a family. After this she proclaimed her hate for her parents, which was really untrue, as she still cared for them deeply. When her parents died during the trek, eventually a box made it's way back to her with a finely crafted teddy bear and a letter of farewell from this world. Kotomi always felt guilty to some extent for her parents death, but grew up on her own ever since the moment. While the hardship still wrecks her, she now lives to hunt down those who terrorize the peace of the world.

Fear: Pain

++

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d155/nekoalchemist/anime%20girls/Gothic.jpg

Nightmare Name: Eternia
Description: Eternia is a physical manifestation of pain and darkness. She lacks emotion, empathy, or sympathy. Her view of the human soul, and the world around her are generally nihilistic in stance. Her contradictory is the nightmare to which Kotomi fears. That being, pain with no end.
Powers: She can summon either black glass shards or chunks [Think Barasuishou from Rozen Maiden] or black rose petals [Think Shinku from Rozen Maiden] to pierce her opponents, and cause pain.
Strengths: Her powers, and her ability to manipulate these powers successfully due to her excessive skill.
Weaknesses: Upon putting too much stress on herself, she transforms into a powerless black cat.

@ Kotomi Ichinose: Ah dear lady, you should've waited for my approval before posting in the RP thread, hehe. You are approved once you provide the following information:

1. Is your character affiliated with our Guardians (like are you originally from this unit - therefore, acquainted with the characters - or are you sent as back-up from another town/a new recruit - therefore somebody who needs introduction)?

2. Taking that you are from this same unit, would you mind providing a little bit of back story about your absence (in RP-terms, of course - e.g. sickness, travel, suspension (lol, waiting for such a Guardian really), mission, etc.)?

3. And lastly, do you like pie?

That is all.*bow* Please await my PM after approval. :D

Kotomi Ichinose

11-02-2009, 03:02 AM

1. I was tempted to say my Guardian was of the same unit, so yes.

2. If you read the RP i posted, which I should have waited to do, i know, i can explain an answer perfectly. She is of the same unit, but was away for quite some time due to traveling. When i say some time, I mean a few years. She basically was a 'partially active' guardian, and didn't do much during this time. Her own existence as a guardian wasn't recognized until a year or so before the travel. The travel primarily was to take care of some last minute priorites, including the burial of her dead parents, and in order to clear her mind to make sure she was perfectly stable emotionally. Thus, the signal activated in my RP was just a simple way for her to say 'i'm back'

3. Not really, but for the sake of internet sanity, yus.

A rather vanilla Feral character. ^^;;

Human Name: Marcelo Juarez
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Role: Feral
Description: (Appearance (http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/3166/happyboy.jpg); just replace the CD player with an SLR camera and that's him.) Marcelo is quiet, but not completely shut-off to everyone else. His default expression is either neutral or a casual smile. Working at the photography studio, Marcelo loves taking pictures of landscapes, animals and still-life. But is not so fond of people. The only people who really know him (ie: on a personal level) in the town are his boss, his co-workers and his pet schnauzer, Jiminy.

Overall, Marcelo is actually a very vanilla person. He doesn't stand out in a crowd (unless he's carrying around his SLR and camera bag), likes spending time at home, doesn't really argue with people (particularly irate customers) and really just wants to live a life without much conflict. His quiet and relaxed demeanor is mainly a product of his past...

Short Bio: When he was in high school and college, Marcelo was the king of partying. Girls, booze, and smoking. If it was something that could become a vice, he had tried it, laughed about it and moved on to the next temporary high. Nights were spent clubbing (his fake ID was probably his most used item) while days were spent at school, pretending to be studying (or nursing a hangover). He managed to scrape through high school with mediocre grades, get into a low-rank college, where he still spent his days and nights the same way.

Marcelo was falling too far, too fast. Any significant events in his life were blurred by whatever substance he would consume. He was distant from his family, although they did know about his partying ways but were at a loss about what to do. Whenever they brought it up, he would just storm out of the house aggresively. They were afraid that one day, he would crash into a wall and break into pieces that could never be put back together again.

It almost happened one day when he was 19. All that partying had taken its toll on his body. One night, he had been going through the motions of arguing with his parents when he suddenly felt like his whole body was in pain, collapsed on the floor and blacked out. When he was rushed to the hospital, the doctors were actually shocked to see the state of his body. Drugs and alcohol had ravaged what was supposed to be a healthy young man's system.

They did succeed in stabilizing him and the incident prompted his family to put Marcelo into rehab. Once he was out, Marcelo realized that he was a grown man and should be supporting his own family, not the other way around. His mind was no longer hazy and he discovered a new hobby: photography. He moved to the city because of a job that was offered to him by a family friend and has spent the past year there. He has been clean and sober for the past four years and is enjoying his new, quieter life.

Fear: Going back to his original ways

++

Nightmare Name: Ivan Daskalov (Though he sometimes uses "Id" for short. Cookies if you can see the reference. XD)

Description: (Appearance (http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/296/animedemon.jpg)) He looks innocent enough. However, he is a manifestation of all the troubles Marcelo has been through when he was still in rehab. Being tempted to sneak something by the rehab centre's workers, walking into a bar and do nothing but drink the entire night, visiting the shady dealer on the corner and score something illegal. Id was the constant voice in Marcelo's mind, whispering to him, reminding him about how fun life was before all this rehab nonsense. Id is an annoying, bratty, thorn-in-the-side kind of Nightmare.

Powers: Whenever Marcelo goes to sleep, Id loves to go out searching for people who are being tempted by something. A theif that is standing outside a store, having second thoughts about robbing it. A man in the slums, hearing about a drug dealer there and wondering if he should try it. A teenaged girl about to fall in with the wrong crowd, a mugger hiding in the shadows and watching someone approaching, or the drunk man standing outside the club and wondering if he should take a taxi or drive home. All things that could have two outcomes: good or bad. And Id will do everything he can to push them towards the bad outcomes. He may do this by whispering to them or actually physically pushing them (though not very strongly).

Strengths: See above. However, when Id cannot find a person being tempted, he will select a random one and tap into that person's inner desires, their basic drives and instincts. He will then use this to torment the person, pushing them to override the basics of manners, rational judgement and human decency. Also, he can fly, but not very high. Maybe over a few houses but not flying above the whole town.

Weaknesses: Id can only come out when Marcelo is asleep. There is also a limit to the number of people he can "play with" and the extent to which he can control them. If he wants them to go all the way, he will pester them over and over, only being able to torment five people in a night. His power to tap into a person's subconscious desires can only be used twice in a night. In terms of physical prowess, Id is a lightweight (he prefers playing with minds, not fists) and will prefer to run rather than face a physical fight.

This is another personal character I've been wanting to play. Not connected to the plot in any way.

Human Name: Yorick Zahn
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Role: Guardian
Description:

http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w57/bikasue/Takeshi-Yamamoto-anime-guys-3974382.jpg

Yorick looks young for his age, with a boyish smile and a laid-back attitude.. Too laid-back perhaps that one can only shrug and give him a whack on the head.

He is by no means undependable or dim-witted. He is just that kind of guy who takes everything as a joke, taking life simply as it goes and never wanting to commit to anything serious or long-term. Hakuna Matata. He has been in a hundred different flings with pretty women, but never one to get serious in a relationship. He has the tendency to flirt and fall for every girl he sees.

He has been suspended for a month from the Guardian Sector because of some unforeseen events (flirting with a higher-up's wife right in front of the afore-mentioned higher-up), and ended up spending his days asleep or hanging out in the park.

He is a good Guardian, however. His job is the only thing that he has committed to for more than a month. He is somewhat notorious as somebody who you should never ask for a favor... Doing so would suggest a disaster later on.

Short Bio: Yorick was a normal upright man when he was a younger. He took great pride in being "a man of his word". He took his oaths to heart and he was never one to go back on his promises.

He had a fiancee, Anna, whom he loved a lot. On their wedding day, Anna didn't appear, leaving Yorick grief-stricken and furious. The enraged Yorick went around town to find Anna and found out she was in love with a colleague from work. She revealed that she had long planned to break it off with Yorick, but the pressure of YOrick's Nightmare, Chain (Yorick was still a Feral then), was affecting her judgement that's why it went as far as their wedding.

Yorick demanded Anna to fulfill her promise to love him forever but Anna declined. With his rage brought the monster Chain to materialize. Chain attacked Anna with brute force, until Yorick snapped out and realized he still loved Anna even though she betrayed him. Yorick fought Chain and defeated her, taming his Nightmare but losing Anna in the process.

From then on, he decided to care less about words and promises, realizing that life cannot be bound by them. He is secretly cynical and does not trust himself or others too much.

Fear: Commitment

++

Nightmare Name: Chain
Description:

http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w57/bikasue/1241596388_7731_full.jpg

Chain most of the time looks like Anna. SHort hair, grey eyes and blonde. This is not her real form though.

http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w57/bikasue/demon-1.jpg

Her real form is a female demon who has a thirst for people's hearts and has the power to "grant" Yorick's wishes in rather horrible ways.

Powers: Her powers depend on Yorick's words. Whatever Yorick "says" or promises, she will do whatever it takes to make it happen. E.g. If Yorick says "I promise to turn you into a melted pot of meat", Chain's powers will allow her fire, and she will attack you with fire.

If Yorick fails to fulfill his promise (in a fight), Chain's real form is released. Her real form does not have powers except brute force. She will not stop attacking until she "eats" the oath-breaker's heart as form of "payment". Yorick will fall asleep/unconscious when Chain's real form emerges. Yorick will only allow this as a last resort.

Strengths: Oaths and Binding Promises.

Weaknesses: Waking Yorick up when Chain is in real form will stop her.
