Tales from the lost city (open to all!) OOC thread

[silvertongue217]

I think

that what you said Trucken sounds excellent I want to make sure you guys would be okay with that. I think thats how I would have it go that way we all have a reason to interact and adventure together now when were not all fighting baddies we can do what we want but I can even see us having some sort of underground den/HQ that is given to us. I am thinking a kind of guardians of the galaxy/ avengers kind of team here in that were all a bunch of oddball who just happen to be extremely good at certain things

 

[silvertongue217]

Who, with experience to lead this group?

I am afraid I dont know what your trying to say here friend mind clearing it up for me?

If your talking about who would be the team "leader" I dont think we should even have one maybe some one who gives some general orders but other than that we just sort of.... Work

 

[silvertongue217]

Artic Brightwell and victoria what are your thoughts on the matter? Don't mean to call you guys out just eager as hell to see what you guys are thinking

 

[victoria_cummings]

Well I was thinking that Tervaka would be neutral, until one side can convince her they can get her back to her world.

[BRIGHTWELL]

I kind of like the nuetral spin Victoria has. My charactor is not bad or good. He fits neither group. He is a business man with a shop on 5th Ave and 51st street. He will deal with both sides. The heart of the city is still business even as evil and good fights all around him. He will not take sides. Like I said he will trade with ALL!

 

[silvertongue217]

great! we definitely need some neutrality as well I dont want this to be one big war type thing as well I think what Trucken said is a good idea the men in black invite these people in they form the rag tag team and also interact with every one in their spare time

Also brightwell I am so glad to see some one having a shop! that to me is really cool I cant wait to stop by and pursue your wares

 

[silvertongue217]

Well I was thinking that Tervaka would be neutral, until one side can convince her they can get her back to her world.

since your character is a dragon lady would you like to perhaps be one of the dragon clan queens?

 

[victoria_cummings]

We have others playing dragons? Cause with background set up, Tervaka was born to a queen, but cause her father being human, she is not allowed position of power, but if she finds a clan of dragons, probably be where is would head to for help.

 

[KattDclaw]

The Avengers approach works for me. While I think Giselle would be loath to work under such conditions, that's the fun of it, and, it forces people to work together. As bad as the word force sounds, it's kinda necessary. Otherwise, You'll start getting the lone wolf syndrome. How many One Man wolf packs does anyone really need? Neutrality from the merchant side of it I can understand, Dragons for the most part too.

So TL;DR version - Sounds good - people need a hook so I'm down with it.

 

[Belladorma]

I think we have enough interest slash people that if every one is ready we can get this thign rolling! The doors are never going to be closed on this thing so any one can join at any time my question is how do you guys want to do it? Since most every one here is a warrior I wonder if you guys want to do this kind of in the style of the avengers where we are all a group of highly trained specialist who get called in to take care of threats that the normal police cant handle kind of like a ragtag mercenary group of misfits that some how form a highly effective team we can either do that or just all be doing our own stuff with me maybe giving out quest or things to do and playing "dungeon master" so to speak

what are your guys thoughts?

I think there needs to be some kind of DM to guide most of it, create events to spur interaction, but other than that, we do our own thing, when things build enough, more people will end up working together.

Currently lives: Loft apartment overlooking Central Park

Occupation: Bell is the head of a small organization that goes out to hunt the true monsters of the world that was once called the paranormal. Before the Event, her organization worked in the shadows. Keeping the myths just that for humans. Myths. She considers this business her pack, having met and and recruited many of her packmates from times hunting after her transformation.

Eye color: Deep green with gold around the iris.

Tattoos: Left shoulder: A chibi interpretation of the god Pan to represent her life of frivolity before her transformation. Right shoulder: a Chibi pixie version of her best friend who has always been there for her with the words “Hey Listen!” writen on a scroll above the character.
Her back is a masterpiece of tattoo’s that cover almost every piece of skin. First there is the Leo insignia that can first be made out. the eye of the leo is on the left shoulderblade, right where her heart is, and the tail ends on her right hip. the center of the tail just barley fits between the designs that mark her 2nd and 3rd chakra points. to the right of her back is a rearing pooka (A mythical night Mare that in Romnii ledgend whisks people away for a night ride that will change them forever) on the left, a celtec knotwork, howling wolf. Woven between all these pieces are the vines that hang from the tree in the background, almost hidden by the chakra points. She also has each wrist, ankle and the back of her neck marked with symbols that represent the five elements. Left wrist is water, right is fire, left ankle is air, and right is earth and the back of her neck is spirit.

Piercing: Just her ears.

COSTUME:

Preferred style of clothing: When she’s at work, everything is tight to help her stand straighter and keep herself in control. Anywhere else she’ll ussually be seen in comfy clothes like jeans and a tank top, but her favorite is ussually Gypsy garb.

Frequently worn jewelry: She always has her thin glasses on her nose, medium hoop earings and a choke collar with a vial of ash hanging from the ring. She tells people it’s her way of keeping her mother close, when in reality it’s what’s left of the bitch that bit and changed her.

SKILLS

Powers: Even though she has glasses, she can see exceedingly well, especially at night (she merely wears the glasses because she’s worn them her whole life). Her sense of smell is also enhanced since her change.
She still can’t keep herself from changing at the full moon, but she now takes “3 day vacations to see her aunt summer” when the time comes. She’s learned how to shift on command without the moon’s presence, but with the new moon she becomes week and locks herself in her apartment or ‘Den’ when the moon disappears.
She’s also able to move faster than most humans when in her human form, but this also lessens when the new moon comes around.

Weapons: Her claws and fangs. but for new moon time, she carries two small kukri hidden in her knee high boots. she also carries a .40 S&W in her purse should she need range. and yes, she knows how to use it.

 

[BRIGHTWELL]

HEY Silver

Lets get this show on the road. Time is money! And I'm not make'n nothing YET!

 

[katalynn]

Thinking my chicky is goin to lean towards being a gypsy/street performer. It'll be her way of being a thief w/out making it obvious. Lure people into the show while they are distracted, she'll use her powers to pick pocketing (all the sudden a wallet is gone). Use her powers subtly in gambling games to win in her favor, fortune telling (giving people what they want to hear based off their emotions/auras).

An all around con artist. Figure that is a good 'profession' for a kitsune. Perhaps that's how she might get caught? Someone catches her somehow cheating.

Will have more details later.

 

[silvertongue217]

We have others playing dragons? Cause with background set up, Tervaka was born to a queen, but cause her father being human, she is not allowed position of power, but if she finds a clan of dragons, probably be where is would head to for help.

We dont have any fellow dragon players yet but this is a town full of supernatural monsters I was thinking the Elf's and the Dragons could make up the top most hierarchy. I wasnt thinking you would have to control a bunch of dragons or any thing but there should be references to Dragon kings/ heads of clan just like I am thinking the Elf's will have a Queen person

I'm trying to build the world up as much as possible here is how im trying to say it I'll be adding some thigns today so we can get this thing rolling!

 

[silvertongue217]

I think there needs to be some kind of DM to guide most of it, create events to spur interaction, but other than that, we do our own thing, when things build enough, more people will end up working together.

I will be playing DM as well (if every one is okay with that) The avengers style team will be happening but for any one who doesnt want to join or who wants to go off and do there own thing I'll be creating events to spur interaction and things for people to do I agree with Kat I dont want every one to just be going off and doing their own thing all the time and interacting with NPC's (I guess I'll be doing the Random NPC's) but I dont want the team to be the singular thing happening these people will work together interact with one another and hang out with one another but they will have their own lives going on as well

If you guys cant tell the scope I am aiming for is a little on the big side but I don't see why it wont work I got some backstory to put in after that if every one is ready I will make the intro post.

 

[BRIGHTWELL]

Silver launch this puppy! I want to get my store open and move my product!

 

[silvertongue217]

WELCOME TO THE CITY OF NEW YORKERS

A BRIGHT AND MAGICAL TOWN FILLED WITH DANGERS AND WONDERS

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER

WATCH THE WATERS THE HUDSON RIVER HAS BECOME A BREEDING GROUND FOR MERMAIDS

THE WOOD NYMPHS AND CENTAURS OF CENTRAL PARK WILL GLADLY PLAY MUSIC FOR YOU IN EXCHANGE FOR FEED AND FRESH FLOWERS

BROOKLYN HAS BECOME THE ROOSTING AREA FOR DRAGONS PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK

WEREWOLFS ARE TO REPORT TO GOVERNMENT MANDATED SAFE HOUSES EVERY FULL MOON

LIKEWISE VAMPIRES ARE TO REPORT TO BLOOD BANKS OR SOME ONE REGISTERED AS A DONOR RANDOM FEEDING WILL BE FINED

WATCH OUT FOR HARPY DROPINGS

DON’T STARE AT THE STATUES FOR TO LONG

CEMETARYS CLOSE BEFORE DAWN ANY ONE SNEAKING IN WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE SPIRITS AND WRAITHS THAT POPULATE THEM

Who Rules The Monsters?

Most minor classes of monsters fall under two main leaderships. The dragons or the elf’s. The dragon king Auldrin The Ancient rules the creatures of earth the rock monsters, the elemental spirits, winged creatures like dragonlings and Harpies, and various other minor creatures. The Elf Queen Esmeralda rules over the creatures of nature the wood nymphs, centaurs, water spirits, and creatures along those lines. Vampires and Werewolves form their own minor society continuing their long-standing war/ feud with one another. Likewise the Orc’s cut a deal with the council (more on that later) for their own cut of land where most continue to hone their crafts (and participate in blood sports). Elf’s and Dragons have a long standing feud as well but mostly work together for the time being that is…….

On the human side Mayor Timothy Harding serves along with various other members of the community they along with the Auldrin and Esmeralda form the grand council (along with a few other minor creatures) the council is dedicated to keeping diplomacy between the humans and monsters and uphold the peace treaty that was established two years ago.

Before this treaty the city was a place of chaos and disorder humans versus monsters versus other monsters. The magic that brought every one together combined with the mysterious and ominous fog caused people to panic. The City of New York became a war zone with fire and chaos rising. It was only until the great human warrior Gunther “gunner” Skale forced each side to sit down and talk that there was finally peace. Shortly after however he vanished some say he found a way out of the fog while others say he went into hiding to get away from the fame.

The organization he formed in his wake however remained. The Monster Peace Corps or M.P.C is dedicated to Gunner Skale’s mission preserving the peace between the monsters and the humans. They operate above the mayor and the grand council as per the treaty and have formed their organization in what used to be the Empire State Building. They are run by gunners own sister the White Wolf known for her supreme hunting skills and shocking white hair.

Of course the M.P.C has more and more on their plate with the human terrorist Templar group and the rouge monsters there has become a need for a more….. Special kind of agent, a team of agents each one with skills and talents some would call unnatural in this unnatural world. The M.P.C has taken great care to pick these candidates out the best of the best the strangest of the strange.

And it just so happens they are needed…..

 

[silvertongue217]

What do you guys think?

 

[Belladorma]

I'll probably play a few members of the organization to help spur Bell's movements at first, if one of them develops further, I'll end up making a character sheet. As far as the organization itself, anyone can join The Wranglers from this point, i would just like to know if anyone is apart of them already so that i can play my role better . (the name is just what they've come to be called to this day, Bell's been trying to find a better one lol) Also if anyone tries to join after this, I'd like to go through the induction process. You know, person helps out, goes through trials, then becomes part of the business, kindof thing.

 

[Belladorma]

And that sound's absolutely amazing Silver. ^w^

 

[Tricktroll]

I want to play a troll that makes Bruce Jenner into a real female, then stabs him 147 times.

 

[katalynn]

This is a general idea of my chick.. If it works, then cool... if not.. well.. i'll change whatever. It is just a rough idea at least.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Mayna ~ Human form (with black and silver hair/fur, not blonde)Kitsune
full Kitsune form ~

Most of the time she wears what looks like a jokers outfit, but it is all for the show, to gain attraction.

Description ~ Silver and black fur (pretend the pink is silver!!) with markings on the tails. She has six tails now all mostly from age (which is unknown to her). One tail stands out from the others as it provides a dragon like marking, either indicating that she has had a dragon mate at one time or has dragon blood in her.

On both shoulder blades she has what looks like a tattoo of of tribal wings that go down the length of her back, however, as far as she can remember, she has had them since childhood. If they are truly wings or not, she does know yet for she hasn't tapped into that power.

Her eyes are of mixed color and texture, one looks similar to a dragons eye which is a deep emerald green. The other is more cat/fox like and is a bright amber color.

She is fairly tall for being a kitsune, standing almost a full six ft, not including her ears! Long, well toned legs and all the right curves for a female of her height. Most of the time she wears her hair in a long, thick braid, but when it is down it reaches to the back of her thighs with streaks of black and silver through it.

History ~ There isn't much to say really, she doesn't remember much of anything from her past. For the longest time she barely remembered her own name. The dragons have accepted her, along with the creatures in the park, which is where she spends majority of her time.

For the first year of arriving here in this strange city, she hid in one of the abandoned buildings, stealing to survive. She had a hard time showing her true nature considering for her, humans are bad!! Humans can't be trusted and she learned very quickly to stay away from them. That is till she found the protection of the dragons here in the city.

Mayna continues to steal to this day, however she has learned a few tricks through the years. Mainly.... rich people are for the taking!! It took her sometime to regain focus on her powers, there's still quite a bit she hasn't regained since the loss of her memory. The one thing she became good at was pick pocketing, gambling, and telling lies to fools.

While they are distracted with whatever performance she is putting on, she is secretly using her magic to pickpocket the rich. One thing kitsunes are good at is making things vanish without anyone ever knowing.

 

[Mairu]

Uh are people still allowed to join?
