New York City

2010

Fall

People milled about going about their business and always moving. The people of New York City were always moving swarming like ants around the large island city. They moved about a thousand stories and lives going on all around each other. A few interacted intermingling for a few seconds two character bumping into one another before detaching and leaving each others life but most stayed on their own private path heads down hands flying on their smart phones without a care in the world.

All that was about to change

Call it divine faith, call it destiny, or simply call it a fucked up universal accident but at exactly 5:00 pm a explosion rocked times square. A massive explosion that tore at the buildings and sent people running and screaming. Curiously enough there were no deaths or damage to any buildings instead however there was the fog.

The fog rolled out of the explosion thick and purple and sparking with electricity. It quickly blanketed out rolling through Times Square before any one could figure out what was going on. It effulged the area rising high into the sky until it was hovering above the empire state building. It spread out from there taking every block one by one creeping into every house as if it was an infection that couldn’t be stopped before finally rolling out into the water and bridges. It stopped hovering a few feet out in the water still crackling ominously.

Then it began to clear

The people of New York City were a resilient and tough lot built to withstand most any thing. When the fog cleared they quickly checked themselves and their loved ones over seeing if any thing had happened to them. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary which of course made the entire thing all the more strange. Had it been a biological attack? Where they all going to die some gruesome death later?

Then they took in their surroundings

While the people of New York City hadn’t changed the city itself had. Some buildings had changed becoming gothic and creepy looking. In other places entirely new buildings had cropped up gleaming metal or some type of crystal reflecting off it’s surface. Above them in the sky strange winged creatures flew above roaring and some even breathing fire!

Then there were the OTHERS

The population of New York City would later find out it had doubled in size. Instead of other people the population was now filled with all manner of beast, beast of legends and myths now walked among humans every thing ranging from vampires to dragons now roamed the earth. It was soon to be discovered that getting of the island was now impossible that the fog that changed the island now prevented any one from leaving forming a wall between the rest of the world and this strange new reality.

So the people of New York City and the monsters of the new world fought then fought some more then finally mad peace with one another. It was a long and some what bloody journey but five years later what had been the City of New York was the Newborn City Of York.

A fucking stupid name if you ask me

Weapons: His main weapon and some thing utterly unique to him Jackie has a “techno sorcerer” has crafted a special wrist gauntlet that lets him channel the power of his magical cards. The gauntlet is both a technological and magical masterpiece combining both sides of the coin to let him draw the power he needs to use the magic deck he acquired from the university of magic.

Since the magic and energy is dawn from his gauntlet it doesn’t drain his energy though if he loses it or isn’t wearing it he is essentially powerless.

and this is my character note that just because i did a character sheet doesnt mean every one else does but it also should go to show you just how unique your character can be

Welcome one and all! I decided to start my own group based role play for any one who likes a good fantasy/ action role play! Combining fantasy and modern settings in the big apple. You can play any race you want and any thing you wish. Nothing is out of bounds and this role play is mainly for people to come in and go on quest and adventures with one another. I'm going to be posting some unique characters a bit more on the over all position of the world and what not but any one can come in and contribute to the world building! I invite any one and every one to join up if they so wish.
 
I want in!!!

Sat around a bit, and thought of a character. Let me know if it fits.

Jarnolu Kilervs


Jar stood perched at the ledge overlooking Central Park like the gargoyles of the far more gothic buildings nearby. Crouched, his black Converse firmly planted on the marble, his back denim jeans tight against his knees, the black zipped hoodie moving slightly in the 13th floor wind. From up here, Jar could breathe the fresher air of the night, away from the misery and stank on street level. Tasting the cleanness of it all, that felt more of a memory of something that he wasn’t sure ever existed. His nature is one to remain underground, in the subways and sewers and catacombs created over years of building and hiding. Yet this place is different, the air hung different, and some days it suffocated Jar like acid in his lungs.

Jar was Drow Elf. Skin black as night, hair white as fear, and eyes grey as slate. His ear points, an attraction if it wasn’t for his skin, barely breached the snow white brush on his head. He kept the hair cut short, just so it stayed within the confines of his hoodie, just as the ears did as well. He stood just shorter than the humans of this land, so pulling his weapons always seemed to overcome any height if he needed it. As far as he knows, he is the only one of his kind in this New York; but there are presence of somethings near to him. That keen sense that there are other elves about, and they aren’t to be trusted. Of course, no Drow should be trusted, but when you are a Drow, no other elf could be trusted either.

Behind him, Jar could hear the couple blocked by patio windows as they discussed their options. It was distracting that they assumed he couldn’t hear them, or for that matter that they had options to discuss besides those Jar gave them. His hand held an old fashioned 38 special Smith & Wesson, and he swung it loosely just to remind his hosts that he may choose to fire off a round. Of course, he also had his twins, two 9mm Berettas. They way he was bent, the hoodie lifted off his jet black skin and would have made the silhouette of the twins wedged into his waistline. Not but ten minutes ago, when Jar invited himself into the flat, he complimented them by being allowed to give him access to their balcony so he could peacefully perch out over the city. They wouldn’t even have to die, not like their doorman. While they let him be they only needed to pool their available cash as a token of thanks for not rummaging through their building until he found some old hag he would force the man to bugger while his wife watched … then kill all of them. He even reminded them how lucky they were this was a good day, for all of them, that it wasn’t one where death was slow. Jar reminded them that it was quite possible for him to tear into their soft flesh with his fingers and slowly remove guts that helped them digest their fancy dinner the night before until the pain made them black out. Nope, all Jar wanted was some time alone on the patio, and nothing else.

This city seems to have made Jar go soft. It was hard to become accustom to. So many people. So many buildings. So many smells, lights, and angry flesh. Not like he was used to. Whatever that was.

That was the trouble. Whatever it was, he no longer knows.

There was a time when he was somewhere else, but it no longer resides in his memory. One day he emerged from the light and in this city. Before that …

He knows his nature still. Knows his name is Jarnolu Kilervs and comes form a strong family of Drow, though he can not picture their faces as much as he can picture a time before the great light. He knows he has lived far longer than the humans built these cities. Knows to not trust the other elves, knows they did something to his kind. Knows the feel of blood growing cold in your hand. Knows that underground is where it is most safe.

Yet coming to a ledge like this, crouching, smelling the air, seeing the night fill with the different creatures and things. This leads him towards something else, something that will give him the understanding that a purpose still exists.

Can I reserve a spot, and wait to see what you're expecting for characters ?

I really have no expectations or any thing for characters! I just want every one to have some fun now that im home I plan on posting some more backstory but I want to keep it as writer crafted as possible. You guys and I shall craft the story and what not.

So like I said no expectations and no pre conceived notions the characters can be as crazy and unique as possible I mean my character will by no means be "normal"
 
Wow Artic good job I dont know if you guys want to do traditional character sheets or not but still your character is pretty much accepted this is the OOC thread but you can always just copy and paste when i make the real thing.....

Shortly I will be posting up some backstory ect as well as my own character until then i look forward to seeing who else might join us
 
so we can be mythical creatures right, I'm thinking either dragonlady or demon. Dragonlady if only can find some good artwork to steal.....I mean use, lol.
 
Yes you can I was planning on making Dragons and Elf's be the kind of defacto leaders of the mythological like lesser creatures fall under their perspective sides Wood nymphs ect pledging Elf while more vicious or animalistic creatures go Dragon

Not sure though

Also was planning on ahving dragons be able to transform into a more humanoid appearance which is a true thing based on which lore your reading

Name- Tervaka

History- Was born in the realm of dragons called Yehdan. Dragons rule the land and subjugate humans int servitude. Tervaka is known as Furcan which is centuries of dragon and human cross breeding, thus her humanoid shape.

Furcan's power isn't as strong as a dragon's thus they can not hold land of territory or their own as a dragon can.

Tervaka was born from an experiment when her mother queen of the Zenshi provenice demanded tribute from all the human males to provide seamen tribute which she collected in cauldron and pregnated herself with.

When Tervaka was young she made friends with another furcan named Huvun. They found they were very close and in love. Dragonic law stated once a pair of dragons, furcans or mix of both have bonded, they must produce an offspring within one year of bonding, or be forced to find another mate. Both being female, they didn't want to be seperated so they found a futa spell that would allow one of them to temporary impregnate the other, but something went wrong.

In their haste and inexpeience with such advanded magic, they instead opened a portal that suck Tervaka to earth seperating her from her love.

(If that is too weird I can change that)
 
Well here we go. Finally settled on an idea, since we have a drow, a dragon, and a technomancer dude, why not some undead fun? No sparkling vampires though. I based the idea off of D&D/Pathfinder's Ghouls, specifically a Ghast with the 'Civilized Ghoulishness' feat. Also inspired off of some lovely pictures of Mileena from Mortal Kombat.

-----------------------------------------------

Name: Giselle McBaine

Alias: Eli, El, GiGi, Zell, or 'Oh my god what the fuck is wrong with your mouth?!'

Age: 26

Gender: Female

Race: Ghast (Ghoul variant - Formerly human)

Eyes: Amber (originally green)

Hair: Black

Physical Description: Giselle is tall and svelte, with proud shoulders, an ample chest, tiny waist and shapely hips. She thick lashed, heavy lidded eyes and a sharp, beautiful face. Her mouth is a little too big, which is all the more pronounced with how animated it is. Behind her plush lips hide rows of razor sharp fangs, which she keeps in pristine condition (she spends a shit ton on dental floss). Her black hair is short and messy, falling haphazardly about and ending a few inches past her strong jawline.
She tends to wear down to earth clothing, T-shirts, jeans, sneakers or boots, preferably black in color. Though if she knows things are going to get messy she will wear white, since it's so much easier to get the blood out.

Height: 5'10”

Sexuality: Pansexual

Occupation: She refers to herself as a 'Trash Collector' – She actually runs a racketeering/protection scam out of a old automobile repair shop.

Personality: Giselle has no qualms with what she has become, a cannibalistic monster. Indeed, she revels in the wholesale slaughter of innocents, though she isn't too choosy about her next meal as long as it's fresh. She uses her monstrous nature to her advantage, often using it for intimidation, though when all else fails she isn't above using her fangs and claws. She is a tempestuous soul, often prone to bursts of raw emotion. Rage, lust, love, hunger, they all felt dangerously similar to her and she often had a hard time discerning one from the other. While she retained her intelligence and cunning after her death and transformation, Giselle still has a hard time giving into her cannibalistic urges in times of duress. Still, she can be friendly and civilized if the situation calls for it, though such things rarely last for long, especially when she gets bored or hungry.

Background: Giselle grew up on the wrong side of the law. It started with petty theft, defacement of property before taking the leapt into assault, burglary and arson. She became a petty thug in her adolescence and matured into a hardened criminal by her twenties. She knew the scams and rackets, had her fingers in all kinds of pies and loved every minute of it. That was, till that damn purple fog came rolling in. As if that wasn't bad enough, with the lightning and the general 'what the fuck is going on' attitude that prevailed afterwards, but did the dead really have to rise? It was pretty inconvenient for her, since she ended up getting pinned down in a dark alley by four nasty creatures. They weren't the shambling dead from the movies, but feral, gaunt, and hungry creatures with a mouth full of fangs and long, snaking tongues. She managed to put a few rounds in their skulls, which seemed to stop them, but not before getting a few nasty bites. It didn't take long for the Ghoul Fever to kick in and within a couple days she was dead, though not for long. The following midnight after her death Giselle arose from the couch she had died on, transformed into something horrible and monstrous. By all rights she should have been turned into one of those shriveled up slavering beasts that bit her, yet she didn't. Instead, she became something else entirely. The term Ghast was used to refer to a special breed of Ghouls, ones that retained their intelligence and memories. Giselle was even more unique in that besides being deathly pale and shedding a few pounds, she retained her human appearance. Sure, she was nothing but a walking corpse, but she sure made for a pretty one. So what did she do with her new found undead life? Turned right back to what she was doing, crime. Hey, she was good at it, and now she didn't just have to break fingers, she could eat them!

Relationship Status: Single. Her unhinged and cannibalistic nature makes it difficult to get into long lasting relationships.

Powers and abilities: Undeath has given Giselle several powerful abilities along with several disadvantages. She has supernatural strength and endurance, along with increased dexterity and agility. Her senses are heightened, she has keen eyesight and can see in complete darkness. Her teeth are razor sharp and can tear through muscle, sinew, and bone easily. Her long is rather long and dexterous, able to wrap around objects and even hold the weight of a few pounds (also useful for other things – wink wink, nudge nudge). Her nails have lengthened and hardened considerably and can be used as claw, though they are far from as effective as her teeth.

She can also secrete a paralytic enzyme, which can be used when she attacks with her bite or claws to paralyze her victim. It only lasts for a few seconds, 30 at the most, but that is usually more than enough time. As a Ghast, she has the ability to exude a horrifying stench at will. The smell is that of a ripe, decaying corpse and can sicken even the most hardiest of souls.

As an undead creature, Giselle is immune to many things that affect living creatures, such as most mind controlling magic, disease, paralysis, poison and sleep effects. She does not need to breath or sleep, though she does need to feed on flesh to sustain herself (it needn't be fresh – though she personally prefers it). While her immunities are impressive, her disadvantages are quiet numerous as well. Being undead, she cannot heal from sustained damage naturally, the only way she can overcome injury is through consuming flesh or coming into contact with negative energy. She is susceptible to positive energy, holy water (which burns like acid) and can be driven back by a true follower of a faith presenting their holy symbol. While she doesn't particular like the daylight it has no adverse affect on her besides giving her a headache.

I wasnt going to have their be a specific reason in how they got to New York yet and maybe even do some thing along the lines of them not remembering much of any thing about the land but i'm not entirely against the idea......... I think it would be kind of funny or surreal (depending on who you asked) if every one found out that all this happened because two creatures were in love
 
Awesome Idea KattDclaw! I think we really got enough players or interest to get this thing started I'm thinking about doing a version of my friend Jaw's style where he sets up some quest and things for the characters to do my other thought is maybe these group of misfits our approached by the council to form some kind of risk assessment and management group that take care of the monsters that simply cant be tamed think of them as cops/ cleanup crew

Curious to know and see whatever one thoughts are
 
Is it possible to join this one or am I too late to the party?

It's not my thread, but since I got called out earlier by Artic, I'm calling Trucken out! He'd certainly make an interesting character! So my vote is yes...not that this is a democracy or something.

Thanks for the seal of approval. It's an interesting idea, and I do have a character in the works, just waiting to see if I'm allowed to play. If I'm not, I'm telling on all of you!
 
Okay first things first

no limits on how many people can play! This isn't some hoity toity fancy pants exclusive thread there is always always room for writers it is the big apple after all right?
