They began as a small cult in the 50s started by a journalist who claimed to have found evidence that bigfoot was an alien being. Then in the 60s they gained hundreds of members when Mothman was "discovered" in Virginia. With the idea of "cryptids" in the public eye, The Church changed their name from "The church of The Lost" to "The Church of the Cryptids". Their motives have always been a bit foggy to everyone except the few members who defected from the church and made varying and vague claims of the Church's goals.

The most recent claim was that the High Priest was searching for a Cryptid to become their church's patron deity. The members before that claimed that The Church wanted to free people from the beings that possessed them... A concept which would later have been copied by a more known but much more controversial church. It was by the time that last member defected was when they changed their name from "The Church of The Cryptids" to "The Church of The Fallen", which also caused The Church to become lose publicity.

In fact...it seemed whenever they changed names, a new member defected...

Saw this, am interested, and here's my sign up:

-Sign Up Sheet-

Character Name: David Stone

Character Age: 17

Character Appearance: This loud man has tanned skin, amber eyes, and short black hair. He is lean with a round, flat face, and he stands taller than most. When he can get away with it, he can be found wearing his student baseball cap, covering his hair. (Not sure if there is a uniform at the school, so I'm leaving clothing blank until then.)

Character's Faction: Student

Character Personality: David is unusually loud,and can usually be heard from down the hall, singing. For his temperament, he tends to be usually clever. His loudness tends to hide his intelligence, and makes most think of him as the usual dumb jock. He likes it that way, as he thinks it's easier to under preform and let others think of him as a stupid jock, then work to his full potential.

Favorite mythological creature: The Hydra

Character's Equipment: Besides the regular student equipment (over the shoulder backpack, which contains a notebook and pencils, a baseball or two, and his glove) David has a habit of bringing around his baseball bat everywhere he goes. (Not sure if the bat counts as a weapon. If it is, then it will be removed.)

Other: Member of the baseball team, plays shortstop.

As long as you join/are apart of the baseball team and dont use the bat as a weapon, then it shall not count as one.

  • Character Name: Ezekiel Garrows (Mr. Garrows)
  • Character Age: 27
  • Character Appearance: Slender to almost a comedic degree... if it wasn't so disturbing. Long brown hair that just seems to go in every direction, much to Ezekiel's eternal annoyance. Has a kind face, with a prominent, firm brow and a pointed chin. Extremely pale with little to no muscle. Due to his anorexic-like frame, nothing fits well enough without looking extremely baggy. He usually wears a simple suit and clip on tie with brown slacks, a fedora to keep his hair under control (except during school hours) and glasses with no frames. There is also no way he isn't wearing yellow colored contacts.
  • Character's Faction: Church, of course.
  • Character Personality: Easygoing and polite with a gentle disposition. Always willing to help a person in need, though not for altruistic reasons, more for "I'm a soul dead void who hates his life and would rather make others happy instead". Loves his job to the point of obsession. While gentle, he doesn't take kindly to nonsensical things (ironic) and will react rather violently when he's had enough. Likes to gossip about school events and employees.
  • Favorite mythological creature: Seraph
  • Character's Equipment: A quill... because he loves that kind of stuff and general teaching supplies in a briefcase.
  • Other: He has worked at Crystal Hills as a teacher long before he ever joined The Church. He considers it a happy accident that he could be so helpful to The Church's cause and looks forward greatly to whom he will be working with... He also has NO IDEA how he ever joined the church in the first place.

Character Name: Alex Mandal
Character Age: 16
Character Appearance: Black hair, green eyes, glasses. Average height. Generally wears a sweater of some kind and pants with a color that goes with the sweater (Khaki pants with the white sweater, blue with the tan, etc.) or turtlenecks, in which case he chooses his pants with slightly less care. Essentially, he dresses more like a college student than a highschool one. Nice, yet relaxed.
Character's Faction: Student
Character Personality: He works hard, but he's somewhere between that one honor student whos work ethic makes you sick and the cool, laid back slacker that everyone likes. That big assignment? "A+". Those five point daily math homework sheets that don't really matter when you pass every quiz and get your participation points? Yeah... screw those.
Favorite mythological creature: Dragon
Character's Equipment: Nothing really. Just his school supplies and the rare gift to someone he really likes or who did him a big favor.

It's kind of funny. Sufficiently advanced stupidity is like sufficiently advanced science; eventually, you find something you can't solve.

I'm very much liking this character, he reminds me of my brother who always managed to piss me off... in a good way.

Now just the last church member remains... and of course NPC coordinator.

Ooo, interesting! I'm claiming the church member now — profile should be up within the hour.

Don't think I've tried an RP (or character!) like this before...

Character Name: Serenity Catteneo

Character Age: 16

Character Appearance: Shoulder length, straight, dark red hair with black streaks. Grey eyes; owns glasses, but wears contacts for practical reasons. A bit shorter than average — about 5'3". Usually wears a vest over a dress shirt, or an oversized dress shirt over a form-fitting T-shirt, plus either jeans or a skirt with leggings.

Character's Faction: Church

Character Personality: If she likes you, she's nice, friendly, and funny. If she doesn't, or doesn't know you, she's cold and sarcastic with a sharp tongue, meaning that anyone trying to make friends has to make it past that barrier. She also tends towards the slightly obsessive, and has been known to bore people by talking at length about her latest interest, which can range from popular cartoons to esoteric programming languages to microbiology.

Favorite mythological creature: Kitsune

Character's Equipment: A shoulder bag containing her laptop, cell phone, and books.

Other: Both parents are members of the Church, and are Happily Married. Serenity has two younger siblings named Sable and Sapphire.

Since two of the church's chosen members are under 18, they'll have to pose as students. Of course, the church will provide any necessary funding they'll need. Since Ezekiel is a teacher at the school with a paycheck, he will receive no such funding.

On the morrow, the discussion thread will be made, followed shortly by the R Ping thread.

The discussion thread will have the accepted applications and the FAQ (regardless of whether or not any questions actually were asked frequently).

hehehe... everything is going according to plan.

I think I'm forgetting something though.

I have no idea what you might be forgetting, but it would be convenient if you could post the links to the other threads in this one, once they're up.

Sorry, I'm just considering what to post... Most of the time, I just react... I'm kind of like a video game AI that way...
