  • 1. Read the Lore.
    2. I don't have CS code so you can make it as pretty or as basic as you want.
    3. You can make Heavy, Glamour or a normal person.
    4. I'm looking for 6 people, max. Small group, somewhat small scope for the story.
    5. Deadline is the 28th of June.
  • You need to have all of these information. It's even better if you add more to them.

    Occupation - Remember that whatever their job is, even full-time working within the Scire world, most people have another face or a day job to present to the normal world. Many Glamours are singers and actors, and Heavies can be anything from a dock worker to a cop.
    Origin - which part of New York is your character from, or where else if not New York
    Residence - where they live in New York. A small description of the neighborhood would also help.

Otto White at former rail yard job (Left)
Otto is a tall man of German heritage, standing at 6'0 even and weighing in at 225 pounds he is an imposing figure, Green eyes and brown hair framed by a strong face and jaw accent his build.
Name/nickname:
Otto White
Age:
33
Gender:
Male
Role:
Ironbound/Heavy
Occupation -
By day Otto works in his own bakery
By night Otto works in the Scire world as really anything he's needed for but currently is employed at a nightclub owned by Crystal Dreams as a bouncer
Origin -
Otto was born to second generation German immigrants in Missouri back in 1917, his father fighting in the great war and having been shipped off while his mother had been pregnant. Unluckily his father was killed in action leaving Otto never having known his father except for a faded photo his mother would give him at ten of his father and mother just before his father shipped out. Luckily for he and his mother she was a skilled baker and worked in a bakery in St. Louis which allowed her to support both herself and Otto, eventually Otto's mother remarried to the owner of the bakery whom she had been carrying on a romance with for many years. Otto was able to attain a full education and graduated in the middle of his high school class and while Otto was a dutiful student he had a temper which led him to many a fist fights in his youth and made good in hardening his fists and his words. His mother and stepfather put Otto to work in the Bakery almost as soon as he graduated which was something Otto excelled at while also showing a genuine interest in. At 20 Otto had moved out and was living on his own in St. Louis, again tragedy would strike his life as both his mother and father were caught in a fire in the Bakery, Otto would have been in the fire as well had it not been for the illness he had contracted a few days prior, which he would later find to be the iron fever.
Once Otto recovered from his illness and saw to the needs of his parent's bodies he decided to head east to seek his future and fortune in New York. The first few months in the big city were rough for Otto and he probably would have ended up destitute if he hadn't stumbled on the Scire community, having been caught out in a storm one night Otto had taken shelter in a back alley when he happened upon a man sitting shivering, they both startled each other as the man jumped about a foot in the air and Otto thought he was about to need to fight but after a few quick words neither party were as cautious as before and a conversation was had to distract from the rain and cold. Turned out the man Otto had found was an aspiring jazz singer in some club owned by a company called Crystal Dreams but he had spent so long at a practice session that the rent payment he owned slipped his mind and he had been locked out. As the night wore on Otto shared with the man his being here and his seeking employment and a future.
Once the rain had stopped the man Otto met told him he was heading back to the club to see if he could get in for the night and told Otto to swing by the next night and maybe a good word could be put in for Otto's employment. Little did Otto know but the man he found had been a changeling who had recognized Otto hadn't been affected by his power and thus recognized an Iron born even if said Iron born was unaware himself.
The rest they say is history as Otto appeared at the club the next night and got a job unloading supplies in the back as well as slowly slipping into the world of the Scire, when he had actually come upon the realization of what and who he was working for his first response was "huh" as the oddness of his employers and coworkers finally fell into frame.
Otto spent five years saving money until he could open up his own bakery but kept working in the Scire world doing odd jobs and the like as his status as a heavy made him someone in demand in this world he found himself in, now at thirty three Otto found himself comfortable operating in the duel worlds of new york.
Residence -
Apartment several blocks from his bakery and about three miles from the night club, large Scire community.
Personality
Otto is a hard man when he wants to be but prefers to be a light hearted friend the most, offering a shoulder to lean on and spill your woes. Quicker in wit then his accent would suggest and quick to throw a punch if it's needed.

(Did my best for the appearance, hope it's okay!)

Name: Adyll Dobromił

Age: 28

Gender: Male

Role: Ironguard

Occupation: Private Investigator (I.E. "Spook")

Origin: Poland

Residence: A small walk-up apartment in the east village, along 7th street.

Personality: Calm, somewhat even-headed, but stubborn. He won't get mad but if he decides he's going to do something, he will definitely try, and there's little to do to stop him.

Bio: Adyll was born to a Polish American family. His parents had fled Poland in 1923, a year after Adyll was born do to the formation of the Soviet Union and fearing that the Soviets would take Poland. They arrived in NYC by boat, and began to work in factories and mills around the area as they lived in a small squat in the Bronx. However shortly after arriving, when he was only 18 months old, little baby Adyll contracted the Iron Fever. Because he was a child, and his immune system was not yet fully developed, Adyll came incredibly close to dying of the illness. So much so that they moved to Brooklyn, into another squat that did not have as much iron around Adyll and further putting themselves into debt.

However, Adyll did eventually recover, and grew up like any other child. However do to their drastic moving around the city, the nature of their immigrant status AND the great depression going on at this time, his family remains in complete poverty to this day. Both of his parents do not speak English proficiently, and frequently Adyll had to go with them on various trips to translate for them. At 18 however his parents no longer had the resources to support him, and they didn't have the money for college, so he moved out.

Lacking social support or any real connections to find him a job, he figured he could use his status as a Iron Fever survivor as a way to join the Ironguard. Thankfully these days, the Ironguard happens to be attempting to recruit widely, and he was quickly accepted as one of their own. Due to Adyll's age he was able to essentially be used as a "moderator" within the Iron Guard group. He was young enough, and new enough, that most of the newer "ruffian" Iron Guard embraced him. At the same time, the personality he eventually adopted was appealing to the more older veterans of the Ironguard and his similar strict adherence to the treaty.

Regardless, the Ironguards was basically his way of launching himself into the status of Private Investigator. Currently, he's well known as a P.I. specializing in the Scire community and Heavy/Glamour investigations and crimes.

3 trivia facts about your character:

- Adyll also has past involvements with the Communist party in New York City. Apparently, when he was younger, he was a lot more hot-headed and not the man he is now. He resented the wealthy deeply as a young adult, blaming run-away capitalism for his family's poverty and discontent. He regularly participated in "political action" including riots and vandalism. These days, however, he has since done his best to leave that part of his life behind him and burned as many of those bridges as he could... Though, some connection still remains.

- Adyll's parents are still alive, and still live in Brooklyn. Though they do not speak English and still do not live in the best of circumstances. Adyll visits them often, and knows they tried their best to give him the life he deserved, and does his best in turn to live up to that every day.

- Adyll carries a small pistol. What kind of P.I. would he be without a little revolver?

Cordelia is a beautiful young woman with a pair of grey eyes. She has icy blonde hair that's been cut and maintained into a short bob that reaches just below her chin. Her bangs hang just above her eyes. She has a rather small stature for someone who has the bloodline of Fay. At only 173 cm tall, she's considered short among her peers.

Name:
Cordelia Faelith

Nickname:
Lia or Delia

Age:
25 years old

Gender:
Female

Role:
Changeling/Glamour

Occupation:
Singer at Velvet Blues

Origin:
Brooklyn

Residence:
A small apartment in the east village

Personality
An intelligent, confident, silver-tongued woman, Cordelia is not afraid to do anything to get what she wants and is not above any kind of foul play, willfully interfering in otherwise fair matches. She will readily cheat to gain the advantage while at the same time considering everything that may not favor her side "unfair", revealing her to be a sore loser and a hypocrite as well. She's highly adept at lying and manipulating people, deceptive enough to "cry" crocodile tears in order to fool people into taking her side.

She is often viewed as someone who's quite elegant and charming, from her fashion sense to her demeanor. She is also rather intelligent and sophisticated, as she loves to read books and recite poetry.

Biography
The Faelith bloodline was well known in Ireland as part of the Fay Court since the beginning of the 1840s. They were known for being greedy and thirsty for power, going as far as treating and breeding the purebloods like cows to create superior changelings. These changelings were then known for their eloquent silver tongue and overwhelming charisma.

But as the Industrial Revolution progressed and the Faelith bloodline got exposed and exploited, the remaining Faelith changelings fled to America to start a new life.

It was 1925 when Cordelia was born. She was the product of the forced childbirth of Coraline Faelith. It is a small practice the Faeliths has established to gain a little wealth from some politicians who are willing to invest a hefty amount to their family.

Cordelia lived her life in a corrupt and dark world. At a young age, she was taught three things: to despise ironbounds, to do everything she can to get what she wants, and that everything in life is just business. Her family intended to exploit her abilities for their own gain so she was thrown in the slums to learn and hone her abilities. Her family made it clear that "they want nothing to do with her" so she had to survive on her own.

Thus, she lived on the streets for a few years before learning that by being beautiful and using her changeling abilities, she can have anything she wants. She then started sleeping her way to the top and gained enough suitors that are willing to spend money on her.

At age 23, her family contacted her and introduced her to Adam Prisc who became an acquaintance. She didn't really like him but he's the one who recommended for her to work at a club owned by a changeling and a musician.

Now 25, Cordelia established a reputation as the Songbird of the Night: a singer with an ethereal if not seductive voice. She's currently working at Velvet Blues and has a quite impressive clientele.

Trivia
♡ No one knows except her, Adam Prisc, and her family that she's a Faelith. In short, her being a Faelith is a well guarded secret.

♡ She has a grey tabby cat named Sebastian, a gift from a suitor who she almost married.

♡ Cordelia speaks three languages: French, Irish, and English
