RAVEN OF THE CITY

BACKGROUND:
They have been called by many names: demon, incubus, succubus, vampire. Yet, they are no more supernatural than those with whom they share the earth. Merely misunderstood.

They are the last of a race born, not of water, but of fire. The doppelganger of humanity. And humanity's predators. Yet, their hunger is not for meat nor blood, but rather the peculiar energies of human sexuality.

Possessed of great lifespan, they are invulnerable to disease and age. Injured, they heal quickly. Their strength, speed and agility is beyond the reach of the finest human athletes. They have senses of sight and hearing and smell and taste and touch more sensitive than any animal. They possess the ability to seduce through use of pherenomes and mild telepathic projection which they can also use to disguise themselves. When hunting, their very presence can evoke lust among the humans around them towards other humans as well.

Their appearance is human with the added benefit of being able to change between male and female genders.

Yet, they also have weaknesses. They cannot reproduce. They can be hurt. They can be killed, but only by fire such as that out of which they were born, or decapitation. Strong light is endurable, but very uncomfortable for them. Their telepathy is more of a projected empathy and image than mind reading. Though they can use it to disguise themselves somewhat and even hide (as in the old comic book character The Shadow, clouding people's minds) it is by no means perfect. In order to feed, they must change genders, e.g., if the last time they fed they were in male mode, then they can only feed again in female mode. And they must feed often. The transition between the two is not instantaneous and is painful. During this transition itself, they are at their most helpless in a coma like state.

Though they have the ability to devour human sexual energy to the point of death for their victims, this is almost never done. It does tend, however, to leave the human prey weakened or even unconscious from the sheer force of their orgasms for once the creature is engaged in sexual activity with the human, they can evoke multiple orgasms in a relatively short period of time in both men and women. The creature will have sex with a human victim over and over again, withholding its own orgasm, building up the sexual energy to a level that it finds satisfying, then will release which leaves it as helpless for a brief time as it is during transition between genders. This is a full feeding. The creatures can also "snack" without becoming satiated by engaging in sex with humans, but not having an orgasm of its own. This is less satisfying for them.

The one called Raven is of this race.

RAVEN: 5' 9", eyes are a dead giveaway, though very few humans understand. They are completely black and do not reflect light, but rather seem to only absorb it. Pale skin. No body or facial hair which means Raven must resort to wigs and false eyebrows and eyelashes. In male form, broad shoulders, narrow hips, body in very good shape. In female form the mass moves about to provide for large, firm breasts, wider hips, more rounded curves and ass. Voice also changes, from male tenor to female alto.

THE CITY:
St. Germaine, a moderately sized midwestern city (about the size of Chicago). Raven's turf is the somewhat seedy, "artsy" part of town: apartment buildings for college students and struggling artists and those who have nowhere else to go., a couple of strip joints, a few adult stores, some "specialty" clubs, several bars, bookstores, curio shops, small art galleries, restaurants, etc. Raven is the protector as well as the predator. When trouble arises, Raven uses an intimate knowledge of the area, as well as Raven's own abilities to weed it out. Be it gang warfare, pimps trying to move in on the few free lance prostitutes who have made the area their home base, criminals trying to extort protection money from the merchants, rapists, anything that might threaten Raven's "herd" will bring down Raven's wrath.

There are a few humans who actually know about Raven, but they do not completely understand what Raven is. Raven knows one or two cops whom Raven has helped in the past. Most people in the neighborhood just know Raven is someone they can turn to when in trouble.

CHARACTERS NEEDED:

Raven is going to be played by yours truly. I am looking at this as a writing challenge for a character I am developing for later novel or short story projects.

Other characters for this thread could include a male and/or female cop who work with Raven from time to time, though Raven has no sanction from the police force. Other characters could include prostitutes, store owners and clerks, homeless people, college students, bar tenders, strippers (Raven, in female form works periodically at one of the strip joints as a dancer.), or whomever you might come up with to fit.

And, of course, antagonists, those whom Raven is after for causing trouble in the neighborhood or maybe even some who have an idea of what Raven is or think they do and want to hunt Raven down.

Plenty of room for vivid characters and even outre ones.

Characters of any sexual persuasion acceptable to Literotica are welcome. Also, of the business listed above, these are just suggestions...others in keeping with the sort of seedy noir of the story ambience are welcome. Only request I make at this point is that Raven be the only one of its kind for now...maybe later can have a conflict with another of the same creature.

Anybody interested, please feel free to post character and story notes here. Once enough interest is shown, I will go ahead and set up the actual story thread.

Thanks!

I'd love to play a female cop for you, Wolf. That is if you'll have me.

I'll wait for your answer before I post a name or anything.
 
to Licci

Sure thing! Would be great to have you aboard. Go ahead and develop your character and post here please, if you would. Would like to have most of the character bios posted in this thread for easy reference.

I look forward to writing more with you!
 
Priscilla Winslow

Priscilla lives in this seedy part of town for economical reasons; she works at the library on the other side of town and takes the bus back and forth; she has mousy brown hair piled tightly into a bun; very shy and self-conscious; wears wire-rimmed glasses; her clothing is very conservative and second hand; underneath her facade is actually a very incredible body; never had a date in her life; still a virgin.

Let me know if this character works for you SW...Thanks!
 
Thanks, Wolf.

Alexandra Castle
Age: 31

Born and raised in St. Germaine, she's knowledgable with almost everyone within her district, and even some outsiders. At the age of 23, she joined the FBI's Academy at Quantico, but left after realizing government conspiracies just weren't for her.

But her exemplary showing at Quantico, earned her a place at the St. Germaine Police HQ as a Detective. Thankfully, she's been treated as an equal there, though she has had problems with other Detectives.

She hates paperwork, and prefers to be out in the streets, almost covering a Beat like a normal Uniform cop. Known for her sharp tongue, but kind eyes, she has quite a reputation around the Art district as being ruthless but fair, if such a combination exists.

There she met Raven, quite by accident. While investigating a case, he lended her information about a gang member who had been causing the problems. He even went as far as to point him out. Alex discovered he was smart, and very determined to keep the Arts District safe.

With a common goal, she found someone on the "inside" to work with, and struck a sort of working friendship.


Is okay, wolf? I'll change anything you don't like.
 
Vincent Amado

Vinnie Amado former boxer, once a contender, defeated in the ring and defeated in life. A long black road downwards through drugs and booze to the depths of hell. He finds salvation in the Community of Santorini. The struggle back is hard but he no longer seeks the glory of the past only to achieve a certain positive value among the outcasts of the alleys and the tenements. No one can say for sure to whom he owes allegience but he has been known to be of great service to the St. Germaine PD.

Vince is stocky, muscular.Medium height and dark complexioned. His hair is chopped short and at this time of his life he wears a stubbled beard. He has a silver ear ring and is heavily tatooed. He can speak three languages, listens to opera and is heavily armed.

I would like to join if it is ok?

My character is Pamela Fox. She arrived in the neighorhood while dating an artist. He dumped her and she went from artist to artist, modeling and sleeping with each of them. Unfortunately, none of this provided her any means of support. She now has been dancing and stripping at "The Licking Lizard." She is a streetwise, arrogant bitch.

Let me know if this ok with you and if I can join. I see that there are already 3 women and only one man!
 
Sojourner - - how can I resist??

You have a special charm all your own...

OOC: Jesse, 24, long auburn hair, green eyes, thin yet shapely.

Jesse works as a stripper part time at the "Licking Lizard" (gotta love the name), but mostly uses her job there to supplement what she really does - prostitution. She can be tough when she has to, but has a heart that can get the better of her - far too many times, with far too many men.

Jesse realizes she's going nowhere fast, but doesn't see a light at the end of the tunnel.

She knows Raven, in fact they are friends - as much as Raven can be a friend. They've had long talks, and cheap dinners at the local diner together, but nothing else has ever happened. Jesse, feels there is something different about Raven, though she doesn't know what. Like all things that she feels tenderly about, she feels a need to protect Raven and feels he needs to be nurtured.

Let me know if this is in keeping with what you originally stated - tried to stay true to form, but you, SW, as always are a challenge. (but a nice one!)
 
OOC
Shirlene Vanderbelt is related to money but would rather live her life her way and not rely on the rich Vanderbelts.
5 ft 2 in
Weight 145
Age 35
IC
I've just moved into this neighborhood and from what I can see I like it all ready at least my lifes my own here.
 
Welcome all!

the response to this idea is great! All of the characters you've described fit in very well with the scenario which is sort of a noir/eerie one. I'm going to give this a little more time to see who else might want to join before actually starting the story though I think I will post the first part of that come this weekend.

Again, thanks again for wanting to join in. It'll be an open ended thread, so even as the story progresses, more will be able to join as well.
 
You need an enemy...

... so may I volunteer for the position?

How does this sound:

Alison Chambers, 28 years old, 5'9", 130 lbs, shoulder-length black hair and icy blue eyes. Nicknamed "the Ice Maiden" for her cold demeanor and her ability to kill without remorse. Sexually, however, she can be very kinky and passionate. She likes to take the dominant role whenever possible. Career criminal, proficient in the use of both knives and guns.

She's been on her own since the age of 17, when she ran away from home to escape her lecherous stepfather (after first slicing off his ear in retaliation for his attempts to fondle her). She arrived in St. Germaine about a year after running away, and managed to insinuate herself into the organization of one of the local crime bosses. He quickly became impressed by her skill with weapons (as well as her bedroom skills), and he soon employed her as his chief assassin and occasional sex partner. (Anyone out there want to be my boss? ;))

She has killed many people, mostly her boss's business rivals, and she doesn't really concern herself about the morality of her actions. She sees herself as a problem solver, not a killer. She is fiercely loyal to the boss, and as far as she's concerned, the boss is always right. Her hits are very efficient, and she is very careful to leave no evidence. The cops suspect that she is involved in many killings, but they can't prove a thing. They would love to catch her, if only to convince her to turn state's evidence against the crime boss. She knows this, and she has stashed away money and papers for a brand new identity, ready to be used in case she needs to escape.

Do you think you can use this, sojourner? Maybe the boss could have a reason for wanting to kill Raven, and he could order Alison to carry out the hit. Or their paths could cross in some other way. Let me know if you'd like any modifications. It'd be really great to work with you again. :) And I'm happy to see so many familiar names from the Hawkes story.

would love to join

Hmm... i think i'll play as an antagonist too... 1 more never hurts, right?

Jack Wesden: 28, 6'1, 180lbs, brown hair, green eyes.

Two years ago, he moved in to St. Germaine with his wife of 1 month, from Toronto, where he got a great offer at the St. Germaine Hospital as a brain surgeon. His wife, Alexandra worked part time as an assistant to a professor at the local collage. One night, the campus police found Alex's lifeless body in an ally. The autopsy reveal that there was no injury to any part of her body. Jack fell into a state of depression, and wandered around the collage campus day and night, in hopes of finding the person(s) responsible with Alex's death. Eventualy, he quit his job, and got involved slightly with the criminal groups, and found out about Raven, and it's capabilities. Eventualy, he overheard from a conversation at a strip club that Raven had intened to try to kill with it's powers, just as an experiment to see how it would feel. Now, convinced that Raven had killed his beloved, Jack vowed that he will see it dead, even if it ment that his death as well.


So... what do you think? good? bad? suggestions?
 
Ramon Santiago. No one knows what latin american hell hole produced him but he has risen through the ranks of the St.Germaine underworld with alarming speed. Prostitution, drugs and extortion are his private empire. His contacts run deep into the straight world of City politics and a darker world whose depths go far beyond what anyone imagines. Among the superstitious he is called the Flower of Death. Reports of his appearence vary wildly. It is known that he shuns the daylight and lives by night. His shadow fills the streets and alleys of the "old Town" , the haunt of his minions and his prey.

I post at Lit elsewhere under a different name. I am far from a 'Newbie'. If you can use such an evil doer I will be happy to oblige. Perhaps as the 'Boss" Ticklish Girl mentioned. Or otherwise as you see fit.
 
characters proposed so far

Redon, sounds like a great character. In addition to Ticklish Girl, you might want to check out Azerin's character as well and see if the two of you might also be allies against Raven.

The response has been great! I've written many of you so far by pm or email and given you my personal response, all positive. I think we're on our way to creating a really fine story here.

I am going to hold off beginning the story thread itself until Saturday to see who else might want to join in. Even after that, it will be open to new players.

I've written with or at least read in other threads all of you, and I look forward to writing with all of you in this thread. There's high powered talent here and I think it is going to be great!

Thanks to everyone who has shown interest so far.
 
I'd like to play as well.

A summoner, ancient, nearly immortal, but not quite. More of an observer than a main participant, she's bored and likes to meddle on occasion. She can summon Raven, but only for a short time and at a price. ;) She can also obtain memories from those who have had contact with Raven, again at a price.
 
about character for Kitten Eyes

Hmmm....sounds like an interesting character. One thing about Raven...Raven is not an actual demon, but rather from an ancient race of beings born out of the fires of creation rather than water. This doesn't preclude being able to summon Raven telepathically, and Raven's price for being summoned would probably be sexual in some nature? The summoner being able to read the minds of Raven's victims sounds good too. I would think that maybe their relationship would be one of a sort of wary respect? What do you think?

That sounds good to me. I do need a Boss.
 
great cast of characters so far

Looking good! The response has been great, and the characters described so far look like they'll give us all plenty of opportunity to interact and have a great time.

Still open for more writers to join us, more characters. I'll plan on posting the beginnings of the story on Saturday, and even then, invitations will still be open for any one who has an interesting character to throw into the mix.

Thanks again for all of your interest...I look forward to writing with all of you!
 
the story begins

Thank you all for your patience. I have posted the beginnings of the new thread. Feel free to add or alter descriptions of the city as you see fit. the thread is entitled "Raven of the City" and can be found at http://www.literotica.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=39006

the detective referred to is Alexandra Castle (Licci-Nicci's character)...

I really look forward to writing with you all...jump in and let's have some fun!

Please put your character name in the subject line when you post so that we can all keep up with whom is doing what...*G* Thanks

P.S. I'm going to go back and change "Bordertown" to "Old Town" per Rendo's original suggestion in the description of his character. The "Zone" will remain as a sort of cul de sac there in Old Town where the sex clubs and strip joints and "adult" stores will sort of congregate. Feel free to add to these as you see will enhance the story.

Faith Anderson

Faith Anderson. One would look on her unqiue beauty, and wonder why she lived the type of life style she did. She lived in the "Zone" in a studio apartment, kept in such perfect condition, with vivid colors, unusal for the darkness of the place she called home. She was a prostitue, the scar traveling down her spine told the story of the man who so called took the young woman under his wing. She was from Boston, the accent still there in her soft voice. Blondish brown curls fell to her mid-back, descriptions of her Black/Puerto Rican backround. Those eyes...that's what drew her male and female customers. They were a steely silver color, usually showing no emotion. On closer inspection, flecks of sky blue could be found. Those eyes were fit into a pretty face with a bronze skin tone. Her body was petite, yet perfectly shapely, with a hint of muscle. Many men had tried to find their way into her heart, but none had succeded.

How's that?

ROOM FOR ONE MORE PERHAPS?

David Bren, age 32, retired Navy seal, injured in the jungles of the Amazon, on an obscure mission with an even more obscure reason.

Adept at almost any hand to hand self defense, he has had to adapt to the streets because of his disability....

As a newspaper vendor he runs a stand located? perhaps nearby the "Licking Lizard" {Cool name! I love it}

Friends to almost all, he has an inside source to almost everything that happens on the street, but tells very little, keeping the confidence of others.

His tall frame remains athletic, his tan offsets his white/blond hair....Dark glasses cover his eyes, and are worn almost perpetually.....
 
Welcome Black Bart aka David Bren

*G* Glad to have you join us. Like the sound of your character and I know the writing will be outstanding, as with all the rest of the great talents that have joined this story. I have added your name to the cast list in the previous post, so jump on in!
