Approved; she would be serving in the manor of the haughty low-class angel Mistress, which would probably create some interesting tension. I am going to say that she has been recently sent to Rumiel's humble abode as punishment. Rumiel often has no say who gets sent to serve her, and she's probably making the new girl sleep on the couch for now. (It's a rather small house, really.)
Uuuuh... @_@;... Roll up a character with the generator, i guess. I am not sure what number of maids is a good number, but i may need to reconsider getting the new manor too involved with the existing ones, if there are this many...

Your name is Julia Collins. You are 17 years old. You have brown eyes and yellow hair, and wear a pink uniform. You are childlike and pure; others describe you as cute, sweet and maidenly.
You frequently get caught up in your own imaginary world, getting lost in frequent daydreams and having trouble distinguishing fact from your own fiction. Your maid outfit prominently features a cross. You are very greedy, and will do absolutely anything for the sake of money.
Although you appear to be a maid, it would be more accurate to call you the master's lover. In combat, you use bombs, grenades, or plastic explosives. When you are extremely upset, you steal valuables from the mansion or from other maids. Due to your notable Affection, you have the ability Windows of the Soul; You understand the master's feelings better than anyone, and can offer careful help. (Add 2 to Favor gained.)

Another maid with the 'Mistress' background... Well, i guess it works, though i expect there to be a lot of sniping and backbiting going around. Plus, there is a maid who is not a Mistress, but who has the Mistress's favored quality (sexy). Hmm...
H:44F(8/30)S|G:19F(0/10)SOught to spice things up, though of course I could roll for another character if it's too much of a hassle.
Nope, it should be fine. Now we just gotta figure out how long she's been there, what she thinks of the other residents and where on earth she sleeps when she isn't in the Mistress's bed, which won't be an every night occurrence for anyone (seriously, not a very big house.)
H:44F(8/30)S|G:19F(0/10)SThe Mistress is actually polyamorous? Cool, we won't have to compete that much between us!
Hmm... she's poly-something, but it's up in the air whether love actually factors into it.
H:44F(8/30)S|G:19F(0/10)SSince she is childlike and pure I reckon she would hold a favorable disposition towards the people she meets, so at first her relationship with the others should be positive. The inevitable rivalry will definitely soil this of course, which leads me to think that she should be relatively new around the manor, maybe a few weeks or a month? Her overactive imagination comes in handy solving her bed problem, I can picture her sleeping in an open drawer or on a window ledge (guess I'll go with a short height, around 5' 1" or so, it fits.)
Alright; it's 11 PM'ish and the phone has just stopped ringing. Julia and Rosa can enter the game by waking up wherever they have been laying their heads downstairs.
H:44F(8/30)S|G:19F(0/10)SRosa was sleeping the whole day. She's in the shed/kennel or under the terrace or whatever where it is dark the whole day. She's a vampire, remember.
Eh... I suppose you will link the RPG thread in a couple of days, will you?
Qualities do not innately impose any real restrictions; vampires can be active during the day and sleep at night. It would be really boring for vampire maids otherwise, as the Mistress isn't going to adjust her schedule for a maid. ^_^;...
Edit: At the moment i am using the same game thread for all the manors: here.

H:44F(8/30)S|G:19F(0/10)SYes I know. It's just an aversion. Dracula did take sunbaths, but he won't sleep there. Rosa is alike.
Well, if she happens to be awake and stalking the forested grounds looking for... er... lost pizza delivery men(?), A) She may have found one, and B) She would probably notice two of the other maids heading in the general direction of the gates of the estate. You can either introduce yourself there.

The last post was well over a year ago. I think it's safe to call this dead.
THREAD LOCKED.
"Yup. That tasted purple."Apparently the game is still ongoing. So unless requested I think this thread may remain open unless the owner asks for its closing again.

If I'm sure of something it's that I'm not sure of anything.Hmm... since the original GM dropped out, i guess that would be me. The RP is indeed still going; we're at an odd place at the moment, but if folks want to sign up drop by the RP's discussion thread and we'll see if we can work you in! The character splats should probably still go here though...

Special Qualities: Easygoing, Sunglasses
Favored Attribute: Will
Maid Power: Hard Work
Maid Roots: Bridal Training
Maid Weapon: Magic (visualizing Dho-Nha curve for coherent light blasts—it's nice having an infinite-use mirrored hand of glory, even if it does rather tingle)
Stress Explosion: Complaining
Your name is Elizabeth Alvis. You are 17 years old. You have sky eyes and brown hair, and wear a beige uniform. You are boyish and heroic; others describe you as spirited, earnest and a tomboy. You are easygoing, taking things slowly and calmly, at your own pace. You always wear sunglasses, even at night.
You became a maid in order to prepare yourself to become an ideal bride some day (cover story because no way that'd work with her personality). In combat, you use magic to attack your foes. When you are extremely upset, you start incessantly complaining to the master and the other maids. Due to your notable Will, you have the ability Hard Work; your relentless hard work pays off in the form of a +3 bonus to the end result (not the attribute or die rolls) of Skill rolls.
Fresh out of high school and raised by rather unusual parents (Mum's a mathematician, Dad's a Wiccan, and Auntie Jenny's generally pretty cool, works for the civil service, and has a tendency to gibber "Hastur Hastur Hastur Hastur" when she's drunk) Elizabeth had a rather unusual lunch with Auntie Jenny and a perpetually-smiling young man with a slight Japanese accent and a blue blazer suit. There was a job offer involved, or at least a hint that should she accept the job listing for a year or two while honing her mental math skills, it'd look very good on her resume for their companies—or at least make a fair amount of money working under the auspices of External Assets. Oh, and she's to keep this quiet.
As a bonus, Google Sunglasses!
(In theory, this is a joint operation between External Assets of the Laundry and the Nishinomiya Organization, although in practice, the org chart looks more like something eldritch and betentacled than it does to a graph. Not that Elizabeth knows anything about this.)
Focused and intense when working at a steady walking pace, Elizabeth's rather boyish, with a pageboy haircut coupled with tomboyish sidetails. Watching her work is like watching a glacier roll over a town, accelerating at a deceptively leisurely pace and stopping for nothing. She's also got a very well-repressed sense of sarcasm, which usually doesn't come out until she's stressed.

I completely understand if the game is full already, but is there a place for one more? ^^'
