All the Myths are True

A giant crater is all that remains of the largest city in the United States of America. Most sources don't know why, but this newspaper believes it to be the work of fantastical creatures. The government isn't giving out any information, though eyewitnesses have stated that something out of this world has been happening in New York.As we gain more information, we will provide it, and hopefully we will be able to figure out what is happening.

Three days ago, the magical creatures often told about in children's stories appeared in real life. Vampires, werewolves, fairies, elementals, mermaids, sea monsters, and a slew of other, less humanoid-looking creatures. When regular humans realized this, panic erupted. Of course, the creatures took this as an invitation to go on a rampage. Now, the largest cities are under attack by them, and no one knows why. We can only hope that humans won't be destroyed with the cities.

Our glamors failed. We don't know why, and we don't know how to fix it, but it's obvious that we won't be able to fix it soon enough. And now the humans can see us for what we really are. Everyone's scared. The more powerful of us, the fairies, dragons, and sea monsters, went crazy, and have started destroying humanity. But something else is happening. For some reason, all of us are being targeted by an unseen entity, and some of us are dying. The humans don't notice this, though. While they panic about us, we are panicking about the dying. May the gods protect us all.

This would be an rp where supernatural creatures have suddenly appeared to the eyes of humans. Normally, they have a magic called glamor which prevents humans from seeing them in their true forms, as monsters. Panic ensued on both sides, and the more dangerous races decided to attack the human cities. Players would be characters who are either a supernatural race or a human.

For the supernaturals, you can be anything you want, as long as you aren't a demon, angel, or any true 'immortal' and have some sort of humanoid form. If you aren't sure about your race, ask me. As an example, you can be a dragon, as long as they can turn into a human form and aren't going to just crush everything in its path. You can also be anything seen in the video above, as long as the prerequisites are met.

Humans are more complicated, yet slightly more open. You can be a human who works for the world's governments and is trying to figure it out, you can be a member of the press, you can be someone who knows a part of the truth, or you can just be some regular Joe who got caught in the middle. You CANNOT be a part of what is killing the supernaturals, as that is a plot point used later.

All races will have to band together to figure out what is happening. Humans from all walks of life will have to join forces with supernaturals of all kinds. If they cannot set aside their differences, then the world will fall.

Are you interested yet? Post below. I want to get a good number of people into this. This can also be a one x one, if only one person is interested. But I would love for this to be a large group roleplay.

Axinite · Mar 3, 2013

Name: Skatt
Gender: Male
Age: Around 176
Appearance: Skatt looks like a mismatch of many different creatures, most noticeably a dog and a buffalo. The creature towers 34 four feet in the air (roughly the size of a three story building) and can easily crush small things like cars, dumpsters, and of course people. The creature is covered with long, thick, dark greenish brown hair. Oddly enough he wears some crude armor over it, this includes some leg braces, a face guard, and some on his back.
When he wants to wander around the human world without violence he usually takes the form of a Great Dane, admittedly this Great Dane has the same greenish fur, stands almost 4 feet tall, and has the nasty habit of voicing it's opinion but he can be surprisingly stealthy none the less.
He also can change into a humanoid form but he can't hold this form for long and he is simply awful at walking around on two feet. If he needs too he will simply balance himself upright while in his Great Dane form, which he is much better at than being an actual human. When he does take a human form, one he intends on keeping for a long time, he will crouch on his backlegs and try to keep from walking around. His humanoid form still retains the dark green hair and if you look close enough you will see sharp teeth, it is surprisingly lanky looking considering his large true form but that could just be from his inexperience at shapeshifting. The only thing he wears is the armor he wore in life although recently he has managed to make himself a simple pair of pants, something he is extremely pleased about.
Race (if not human): His race is called Mountain Guards, they typically live near or on large mountains although he comes from a flat land variation. They don't so much guard the mountains as much as they guard the treasures within the mountain, as a result they can be found where ever treasures are buried beneath the earth. They typically have no interest in taking the treasures themselves, they just feel protective over it.
History: Skatt lived a rather simple life, he was the strongest of his litter and the first to set out to find his own patch of treasure. Catching a whiff of a large treasure collection he quickly set out on his way towards it, what he found there was odd. There weren't any glistening gems or rare stones, just a beautiful waterfall surrounded by a flowery field. Although it wasn't what he had expected he learned to appreciate the place and set out guarding it. He would occasionally let some nature spirits come and play in it but for the most part he kept everyone away. Then one strange morning he woke up and found himself somewhere much less comfortable, crushing a farm house, surrounded by farmlands. He was upset to say the least, overcome with worry about his treasure place and wishes to return to it as soon as possible.
Abilities (anywhere from magical to realistic): Although not immortal he is ridiculously hard to kill. His skin is thick enough to stop bullets, he typically notices the noise before he notices they are attacking him. Even other monsters might have trouble piercing it, being able to say one has made a Mountain Guard bleed is a noteworthy feet alone, saying killing one is commonly thought of as too ridiculous to take seriously. His thick skin aside he has claws and teeth, both rather long and understandably deadly. His size alone is also something to take into account, he typically towers over others.
He has a rather strange sense of smell, being able to smell out the value of things from great distance. Although this depends on personal opinion he can find things from great distances. Smell is his greatest sense.
Weaknesses: If you try to engage this creature in head to head combat chances are it won't get you very far. However, he does have a few weaknesses that can be used to someones advantage. For starters he doesn't like heat, for another his hair is rather flammable. Although the flames won't kill him they will probably scare him, making him run away from a fight towards the nearest body of water. After that he will spend days licking his wounds and mourning the loss of his hair. He will shy away from things he fears will burn him, like certain magic spells.
He is also rather easy to dodge, especially if he is in his true form and in the tight space of a city street. People can easily maneuver around him or under him or duck into small alleys or stores to get away from him.
He has a few personality flaws that can also be used to a persons advantage. He greatly enjoys playing mindgames, riddles and puzzles. One can use these to distract him, occasionally someone has wagered their survival on these games. He will be so caught up in the fun he will forget why he was trying to attack the person in the first place, even if he loses he will ask for another. This cycle keeps going on till he is happy and then a person can make their leave.
One could also distract him by telling him stories, he loves stories and enjoys good company. If someone says they have a story to tell him he will politely sit down and wait for them to finish it. What happens after that depends on how much he liked the story. He enjoys romances and adventure stories and doesn't like mysteries or Scifi. (Those are too unnerving for him.)
If you have to fight him magic is the way to go, he is rather scared of it yet at the same time mystified by it. You can easily draw him in with some moving lights then blast him, almost always catching him by surprise. If you fight him physically it will be hard to get him to even notice you.
Other: Dislikes dragons or other creatures who make fire, no matter what puzzles they come up with or stories they have to tell he will never like them.
He was quick to learn humans don't like when things get broke so he often just wanders around in his Dane form rather than his true form, he won't go into his true form unless he feels threatened OR he gets strong feelings about what someone else is doing something that effects him negatively.
He talks with a lot of sass while in his Dane form, saying how so and so couldn't hurt him and how he could easily crush so and so. Then lo and behold he was right. He won't change into his humanoid form unless provoked.

(Well, not sure how you will feel about this. I saw a picture in that Youtube video and I guess I was just inspired. Course making giant monsters is always tricky. Tell me if he sounds too overpowered, I will then try my best to nerf him down some. Also, I included a humanoid form yet he will most often be in his Great Dane form. Those sorts of giant creatures never really struck me as being good shapeshifters, especially into biped creatures when he is used to being on four legs. Hope you don't mind too much.)

Name: Bernard
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Appearance: In his human form, he has bleach blond hair that reaches his shoulders, and pure gold eyes to match. He is 5'8 with a semi-muscular build. A winning smile and bright pearly whites. Normally he wears a pair of blue skinny jeans and a nice button down shirt with converse. To blend in with society.
Race (if not human): Werewolf
History: Bernard was abused as a child. His parents had such anger issues and he couldn't quite figure out why. One night, while sneaking downstairs for a midnight snack, he saw his father and mother both in their wolf forms, attacking each other over something he didn't know. With wide eyes, he tried to dash for the stairs, but his mother caught him, and decided to bring him into the attacks. Soon Bernard was out like a light, with bruises and bite marks all over him. His parents had ran away never to been seen again. Slowly, as Bernard's life went on, he was changing significantly. His hair grew faster, he got angrier more easily, and he had a taste for fresh meat. Though he thought nothing of it. Though surely enough on his 18th birthday, a full moon was out and Bernard went ballistic. Now, Bernard can control his anger. He has a kind heart and tries not to get into trouble.
Abilities (anywhere from magical to realistic): Incredible speed and strength.
Weaknesses: Love.

Name: Bonnie Saville

Gender: Female

Age: 19

Ap

pearance: Bonnie's looks all together are very in-between. She's a mismatch of almost and not quites. Her hair is dark brown, almost black, and she keeps it cut short, but not quite boy short. Of Southern Italy background, her skin is olive. Her face is generally round, with full lips and a round nose, and big round brown-ish green eyes. Standing at 5'6, Bonnie is average height and isn't either skinny or fat but just in the middle. Her muscles aren't overly toned but still noticeably there. She has an eyebrow piercing on her left eyebrow, which she can raise effectively, along with many other typed of piercings on her ears.
History: Bonnie grew up in a small desert town in Arizona with her sickly mother and her step brother from one of her mother's previous marriages. Her mother was always in the hospital for one reason or another. She had M.S., and breast cancer, and suffered from this or that. Bonnie didn't get to do a lot of things, due to her mother's inability or sickness. In general her mother was very demanding of her and had unrealistic expectations, had problems with her rage and being passive aggressive, was very stubborn and often detached from reality, and made life very painful for Bonnie. Her brother was no better, as he often took advantage of her, and physically and sexually abused her. Bonnie's father had a wife and two babies in California, whom she only got to visit once or twice a year. Her only longing for most of her life was to live with them. To live with a family who loved her and she wanted to see everyday, have a fresh start with new people, and not go to school in a hell and return home to a hell. To pass the time and keep herself distracted Bonnie went to a shooting range to practice with different guns and bows, she also took art classes at the community center. At 15 years old she could no longer stand her life, so she requested to be emancipated and was granted it. So she packed away what she could, and hopped on a train. For a long time she traveled around the country until she finally came across a stable job and place to live. She continued her high school education and moved on to community college until she had the change to do better.
Abilities (anywhere from magical to realistic): She's more than decent with a gun and a bow and arrow. Bonnie also has a good sense of direction and knows her way around. She's also very good with her words, convincing people to do things for her or provide for her.
Weaknesses: Anything to do with her mother, or brother, and those earlier years. Though she's built a tough shell, talk about it can reduce her to tears. She also responds very poorly to being screamed at. Due to being abused, she's very uncomfortable with being touched, or anything sexual.Once attached to someone, she does show signs of abandonment issues as well.
Other: She works multiple jobs through out the year, doing things like babysitting, to waiting tables, to being a life guard. She keeps contact with her father and his family, but with few other people. She is very reluctant to give out her phone number and personal info.

Everyone looks good! I'll work on my sheet, too. Also, don't be shy about having multiple characters. As long as they are more towards NPC than PC, you don't need a character sheet, but if they are important to the plot, you'll need one.

Nekomimist · Mar 3, 2013

Sorry I haven't been around! A lot of unexpected craziness went down! >.< Anyhoo, I'm back and will post any chara sometime this week! <3

EquinoxSol · Mar 7, 2013

Name: Thanatos "Thane" Goldammer
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Appearance: Thane has pale skin, black eyes and hair, a slight build, and a scar on the right side of his face, curling from the edge of his mouth halfway up his cheek.
Race: Wraith
History: Thane was born to a high family in the wraith community. He lived a charmed life, until one mistake lost him his title and family name. He was banished from the wraith homeland and forced to remain in America. There, he quickly found that something was wrong in the world. As his glamors fell to pieces in front of him, he struggled to find out what it was, before New York was torn to pieces by the fairies, sea monsters, and dragonkin.
Abilities: At will, he can command the shadows around him, and solidify them to do his bidding. He can force the shadows to change shape, sharper, and grab things. When he is angry, shadows cover his eyes and seem to ooze off of him.
Weaknesses: Thane is too trusting for his own good. This makes him suseptible to being used. He also follows rules to a T when it suits him. This makes him slightly untrustworthy, though he would never lie to someone who is close to him.
Other: N/A

Here's mine, everybody! I think we can start on Sunday!

Project 7X · Mar 8, 2013

Can I reserve a spot? ^^ I'll try and get my character sheet posted as soon as I can.

EquinoxSol · Mar 9, 2013

Sure! Can't wait for your character!

Project 7X · Mar 9, 2013

And it is done. I actually got this done quicker than I thought. XD Sorry if there's not much, but this character's kind of... In need of development.

 [FONT=&quot]Name: Kegan Jones[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Gender: Male[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Age: 15[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Appearance: [/FONT][FONT=&quot]About 5'7" in height, he is rather lanky and thin, but he has some muscle due to his being in dance class since he was little. His skin is rather pale but with a slight tan, and his eyes are a vibrant, bright green. His hair is a dark blonde with hints of brown, and goes down to the back of his neck and slightly over his eyes, and is also straight mostly but is slightly curled at the ends. He wears just a plain white t-shirt with a long-sleeved black shirt underneath, and he has on faded blue jeans and black and white converse tennis shoes.[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
History: Having been born as the oldest of five siblings in a rich family, Kegan is surprisingly not as spoiled as many might think. His life was very normal throughout the years, and he maintains a strong bond with his younger siblings and his few friends. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]He was introduced to dancing from the moment he could walk, and has been in various dance classes for all his life. Aside from that he's also a decent artist, but can only draw certain animals such as cats or rodents. He was bullied often in school, but as he got older he's learned to tolerate it, although he's a bit of coward now because of this. Not much else of importance happened to him in his life, but now that mythical creatures are starting to appear, his life may start to take a turn for the better… Or for the worse.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Abilities: Because of his being a dancer ever since he could remember, Kegan is rather agile and flexible, allowing him to move swiftly and with ease almost anywhere he goes. He also would risk his life for others, but only if they're his siblings or really close friends.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Weaknesses: Kegan tends to freeze up or run like a coward at the first sign of danger, especially if he's not with someone he knows. He also has a fear of anyone or anything larger than him due to having been bullied in school, and he also has very mild Neophobia, or fear of change in routine.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
Other: He has a demon inside him that's dormant at the moment, but is slowly starting to awaken due to the mythical creatures going rampant. (The demon can't do much to Kegan once it awakens except take over his body at times, but I will get rid of this if you think it's too much, Sol.)[/FONT]

EquinoxSol · Mar 9, 2013

It looks good! I don't mind about the demon part, it sounds a bit like Anders from DAII.

Project 7X · Mar 9, 2013

Awesome! And it does? I never played DAII, only Origins, so I wouldn't know. ^^;;

EquinoxSol · Mar 9, 2013

He had his Justice/Vengeance thing going on, where when he'd get pissy about things he'd go semi-super saiyan....I haven't played DAII since last summer, and I'm not feeling well, so I might be muddling things. x__X

Project 7X · Mar 9, 2013

XD I have no idea. I never played DAII because I just heard it sucked, basically. But, at least I know about this now in case someone else says the same thing. ^^;;

And also, I hope you get to feeling better. Everyone's been getting sick recently. ><

EquinoxSol · Mar 9, 2013

--Reads DAII wiki page-- Yeah, so Anders had Justice in him, and Vengeance was was Justice turned into. Not exactly like your character. He is accepted, though. ^^

Project 7X · Mar 9, 2013

Thankies! X3 That's good to know. And don't worry, the demon in Kegan doesn't do much like I said in the character sheet. ^^ It mostly just likes to be annoying above everything else, when it awakens anyway. XD

EquinoxSol · Mar 9, 2013

Okay, that's fine :D
