Gargoyles

[poohlive]

One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled.

It was a time of darkness. It was a world of fear.

It was the age of gargoyles.

Stone by day, warriors by night,

we were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect,

frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years.

Now, here in Manhattan, the spell is broken, and we live

again!

We are defenders of the night!

We are... GARGOYLES!??


Anyone ever see the show? It was a big hit, and still is if you get the Toon Disney channel, it's on from 11 until midnight Eastern time.
This is going to be a continuation of that show. Goliath, Bronx, Hudson, Broadway, Brooklin, and Lexington are gargoyles from the past. They are now in New York, befriended by a multi millionaire David Xanatos, they are defenders of the city, righters of the once wrong.
Here is a link, if you want a little description of the main characters.

http://www.gargoyles-fans.org/char.html

So far, all of the parts are open.
I am playing one of Xanatos's experiments gone wrong. Gargoyle by night, and human by day, right alongside Demona. Actually, by day I am Demona's secretary. Demona being a gargoyle who is by day transformed into a human. Now thats irony.
The part of Owen, and a secretary of Owen's are also filled but other than that everything is ready. I know the holidays are here, so no posting will start until after christmas.
Thanks everyone, and have some merry holidays.

[Renegade]

Just to make it official

OOC: Even though I already have the part, just want to make it official here that I'll be playing the part of Owen.

 

[Angelus]

Is it cool if I play the part of Xanatos. I want to play a bad character and he seems to be a good one to play

 

[RoseThorn]

Rose: Owen's Secretary

OOC:
Ok, just to let everyone know, I'm the secretary. Ang, I think this is after Mr. X is a good guy...Still, you might wanna mail Pooh pivatly. Still, if I happen to be right, there's still other villians...

 

[Angelus]

OOC: If it is alright I would love to play the part of Thailog and a Gargoyle hunter as I could have two characters with one of them being able to move around during the day time.

 

[LittleRedDevil]

OOC: I was really upset when they took this show off regular tv. Is the cop still around? I can't remember her name. I would love to play her if it's okay?

 

[Anher]

OOC: I believe you're talking about Dectective Elisa Maza. A question along a similar line, do we have to play characters from the show or can we create our own? Not that I wouldn't mind picking up one of them it might be interesting to try my hand at an original character in that setting.

 

[LittleRedDevil]

Thank you, couldn't quite remember!

 

[Angelus]

I have somewhat of a bad memory but was there a gargoyle version of Detective Maza made by Thailog?

If so, what was her name?

 

[poohlive]

All right, seems like a good response, I think we can get started on the actual plot now... although I would have liked a Demona, but it's ok.
To answer a few questions first, Yes you can create your own characters, so long as you be realistic to the show and the other characters.
There was a female gargoyle version of Elisa. Delilah was a genetic hybrid of Demona and Elisa, and extremely sexy as well. Enough of that though, if you need any more character names or anything answered, I suggest you look at the link provided, there are backgrounds, voices, and a whole bunch of cool things to help this.
Well, let's get this party started. I suppose I should introduce my character first, and make a little story to go along with everything for me.
Is everybody ready? If you aren't ready just say something...
(silence)
sweet!


Dominique (demona's name by day) stood up, and stretched lightly. Garret stood there, silently, watching the setting sun. It would be night in a matter of minutes.
"I believe that's all for today," she said, walking to the door. Garret nodded, making a note of it.
"Tomorrow the new agents will be here at 8 sharp."
She smiled, "Excellent, get some sleep then."
Garret smiled, but said nothing. She left.
Walking up to his desk, he quickly filed away the papers for today. He set up everything for tomorrow, and quickly went to the window.
Sunset was only a few minutes away, he couldn't get a ride back to the castle....
but he could fly.
In the elevator Garret pushed the button for the top floor.
Outside the dying rays of the sun spread out over the Hudson river. Garret smiled, looking around. No one in sight, that was good. This took a few seconds to do.
The sun set.
It wasn't everyone that could actually feel themselves turn to stone, perhaps Owen, he had, but that was just his one hand. Garret felt his entire body break out into cold hard stone.
If one were to look, they would see a perfectly normal human being statue on top of a building. Garret knew it took a few seconds, he simply stayed there, closed off to the world. His own body going through a cucoonlike change inside.
*CRACK*
It started on his chest, one huge crack in the stone. A small flaw, but it grew. It went up to his arms, and through his legs. All of the sudden he exploded jumping up.
His new wings folded elegantly behind him. He smiled at himself. This was the way to be.
Feeling well rested, as he did right after the tranformation, he jumped onto the ledge. Garret flew straight for the castle.

 

[Angelus]

As the sun began to set the statue that was on top of the large impressive building began to crack. It then exploded, sending large pieces of stone flying everywhere. When the dust had clearled Thailog unfurled his wings and smiled then turned and walked into the main room of the building, his office. He walked over to his desk where he saw a file sitting on top of it. Thailog picked up the file and opened it, an evil smile coming to his face.

There was then a ring and Thailog turned to look at the door, telling the person on the other side to come in. The door opened and a beautiful female gargoyle, Delilah walked in.
"Thailog, love. What are we going to do tonight?"
"First we are going to deal with a few Hunters that feel that they are safe and then we are going to pay Mr. David Xanatos a little visit."

Rose Thorn

OOC: Brief descrip:
Name: (3 guesses) Rose Thorn

Appearence: Medium sized brunette, brown eyes, wears glasses to read. Wears dress clothes: Long black skirt, hair in bun, long sleeved white dress shirt, black heels.

IC:
Rose nodded silently as Owen rattled off another list of things. Blessing her college professor who'd done the same thing. Being secretary to Mr. Owen Burnett was occasionally a nightmare. His icy met hers for a moment as he was rattling off the names and she blushed, forcing her eyes back to the paper.

She pushed her reading glasses back up and silently re-read everything. She tried not to think of the intense blonde gazing at her. It was hard enough now. Owen Burnett seemed to be your average heart (and fist) of stone type. But she sensed...something else too...

Once he'd caught her reading a book of Fairy Tales and Fairy facts. His intense gaze caught hers and held a second, then a glimmer seemed to whisper in his eyes and he smiled softly, before turning and walking away.

She doubted her crush would ever return her affections...After all, who was she to him? She sighed and nodded to Owen as she read back a name....

 

[Anher]

Here goes...

OOC-
Character Name- Elwyn Blaylock

Description- Meduim built male, hazel eyes, habitually carries a notepad and a pencil. Dressees in semi-formal attire- Khaki slacks, long sleeved grey thermal shirt, and nice tennis shoes.

IC-

Elwyn sighed as he looked over the assignment list. "Great," he thought to himself, "I get to go and try to get an interview from Mr. David Xanatos." He just shook his head and turned towards the elevators, waving to his colleagues at the Post as he moved past. A few of them giving him a look that said it all, 'Good luck and we'll send the roses to your widow.' Okay, well maybe not that harsh but still they knew where he was headed and how many hoops he'd end up jumping through for a mere, 'No comment' or 'Talk to my secertary' response. Besides he wasn't married, heck he didn't have much of a social life to speak of at the moment.

He thought over what approach might get the quickest and thus most painless response from Mr. Xanatos or one of his employess as he rode the elevator to the ground floor. Then again maybe he'd get lucky seeing as how Xanatos just had a castle put on the top of his building and might appriciate some publicity. You never could tell with these CEO types. Stepping out of the elevator he moved towards the doors to the building and then the street.

He considered his transportation options the bus, a taxi, or walk. None seemed particularly pleasing at the moment, curse his car and it's transmission. Otherwise he'd just drive to the assignment with his photographer. He silently cursed "Damnit, I just left without looking to see who was supposed to come with me and be my photographer." He looked back to the building caught between just going to try to get something or going back inside and checking the board again.

OOC- If someone would like to write in the photojournalist I wouldn't mind some company for the trip.

 

[Renegade]

I have to back out.

OOF: For personal reasons, I won't be able to post as Owen in this thread. If anyone wants the part, they are welcomed to it. I'm sorry for this. Have fun with the thread.

 

[Anher]

OOC- Just wanted to get this thread up and moving. It seems a bit too promising to let it die this quickly.

 

[Angelus]

As Thailog lifted into the air he was aware that someone wat watching him. He hated that, there was nothing more irritating to him than to have some person watch him. He would have to rectify the situation but he had more pressing business to take care of first. He flew throught the air and wondered what the Gargoyle Hunters were going to do when he suddenly dropped in for a 'visit', a smile on his face.

 

[poohlive]

Garret landed atop the highest tower. Goliath was out there, his wings tucked under his arms, giving him the nice trenchcoat look.
Garret tried it, but failed miserably. He was still getting used to all of this. His wings lay lifeless behind him.
"Good evening Goliath."
"How are you Garret?"
He shook his shoulders, "Same ole same ole."
He jumped up on one of the walls, looking down at the city below, "Anything happening tonight?"
Goliath patted him on the back, "Nothing. We were thinking of watching some t. v. later. Hudson said there was something called a late show, he wanted us to see."
The late show? Garret chuckled to himself.
"Sounds good."
Garret glided down to the lower part of the tower. Lexington had his hands on a new gadget, one of Xanatos's toys no doubt, and Broadway had just fixed himself a huge sandwich.
"How you guys doing?"
Broadway mumbled good, a piece of salami hitting the floor. Lexington simply waved his hand.
The moon had finally decided to come out, bringing in some much needed light onto the scene. A new and fresh night, where anything could happen.

ooc: DAMN! Is it Too Late for me to Join this?! I Gotta get back Into Da SRP Scene! Comon theres gotta be some sorta place for me! Help a Guy out heah!!

 

[LittleRedDevil]

Elisa


The building was silent as she made her way to the elevators. She was going to see Golith and the boys. There was something brewing in the night, she just didn't know what it was yet. She thought maybe they had heard something.

Her stomach did a little jump as the elevator started it's way up, and she waited for the car to come to a hault. Stepping off, she peered into the darkness. She could hear the television in the background, and headed towards the sound. "Golith? Hudson? Guys? It's Elisa."

 

[Anher]

ooc: DAMN! Is it Too Late for me to Join this?! I Gotta get back Into Da SRP Scene! Comon theres gotta be some sorta place for me! Help a Guy out heah!!

OOC- I left a spot open for a photojournalist if you wouldn't mind being relatively normal amongst all these supernatural creatures. Other than that I know Owen opened up and I'm sure there are other spots available.

 

[LadyFairy]

Ember
Female Gargoyle oragins Avalon.

Ember is 5ft 4in 110 lbs simalar in looks to Angala save for coloring. Her eyes are golden, skin is pink and her hair is white in color, long unbraided hitting just below her waist save for two thin war braids at her temple braided down to flow free with her hair.

Ember had travled along way to reach manhattin after Goliath, Elisa and the others had left, she had wanted to go with them but was too young at the time. Now however she was of age and able to travle on her own.

She had rested on a roof top after making it to Manhattin now that the sun was down and she had awaken from her stone slumber. She streatched and looked out at this new world her wings folded around her like a cloak. As she took in the sights and souds of the city. Up above her she watched as a gargoyle who looked simalar to Goliath glideded off away from her, a female not far behind.

More than a litte curious and confused as she had thought the only females left in this new world aside from her sister Angela was Demona. Ember decided to follow at a distance, Maybe Goliath, Brooklyn, and the others had found another gargoyle clan, and had joind with them.

 

[Jadefox129]

Let me in please!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with Rolland (except for the help a guy out part. I'm a girl so that wouldn't work) and I want to join too...Anyway, I planned on being Demona when I first heard about this thread but personal things got in the way. If you still want a Demona or if you have any other parts that are open, let me know.
