Changed my mind. I'm still going to be playing, but when I thought of 'Drifter', I wasn't really inspired. Now though, I have an idea that I like much better, which I intend to use instead. Quick question though; would it be alright if my character was a sort of 'Magic P.I'? Private Investigator? I just want to make sure that Private Investigators would still actually exist in this setting.

I think I'm done, how does he sound?
- Name: Lukos Alabaster
- Gender: Male
- Appearance: Being 23 years old, Lucas is fairly tall with white hair, while his eyes are crimson red. He wears a simple white overcoat with a red trimming, along with his shirt and pants that are made out of black leather. He also carries around a tome that is filled with rather... odd things.
- Personality: Lukos is a rather... odd person; it's unknown what he will do next. He has a taste for poetry, hell he'll even recite some that he made himself, and tends to be rather carefree. He usually always has a smile on his face, unless he's serious. He's also quite kind and friendly, unless he sees blood... which might be a sign that you should start running.
- Powers: Lukos' primary power is Lycanthropy, but he has a secret power, Skin-Walker, his one and only spell. His Lycanthropy is different compared to other werewolves, simply because he can shift at any time, due to a specially enchanted bracelet that pierces his skin and forces him to transform. However when he transforms normally under a full moon, his strength, speed, and agility are drastically increased. As a werewolf, his fur shifts color to match it's surroundings, just like an active camouflage, and his claws and fangs are stronger and harder then Lutetium (strongest metal on earth), thus he's capable of tearing down literally anything in his path. Due to his Lycanthropy, his wounds heal quickly. Lastly, his Skin-Walker spell, allows him to control any animal in a set proximity, and, if he tries hard enough along with straining his body, he can temporarily (up to ten minutes) shift himself into a nearby animal, as long as said animal has no traces of magic or divine powers.
- Back story: Lukos' father was a werewolf who fell in love with a female witch. Lukos was born after a few years, and naturally inherited his father's Lycan abilities. At the age of 15, a raid on his family by villagers caused the death of his mother and father. During said raid, Lukos took his father's bracelet and murdered the villages. He then took his mother's scroll, which contained the Skin-Walker spell, memorized it, then set it on fire. Using the burning scroll, he set his house ablaze, along with the bodies of his parents, and left the village to explore the world.
I know Zero said OP, but I think he may need a little nerfing, unless he's fine the way he is.

"What the hell are you doing?" "I'm playing a role, sir, what are you doing?"I'm back! Anyway, that character seems interesting, but rather... invulnerable. Lycanthropy, yeah. Change whenever, sure. Its not like its going to be night AD a full moon all the time. Immune to silver... no. Animal communion... sure, BUT it doesn't extend to 'sentient' creatures. In other words, most magical creatures are off limits.
So you're back, Zeromaeus. That's good, but — and don't take this the wrong way — that still leaves the question of just why you took a several day absence. If a GM is going to be gone for that long, it's be nice if they at least left some kind of notice, especially when the RP is just beginning. In case you're wondering just why this is so concerning to me... I'm in/was in another RP. And in case you're wondering why I said what I just did, it's because that other RP I'm in has been suffering, in part due to the GM often taking such leaves of absence, and it's now on it's deathbed. It's unclear whether or not it'll get back on it's feet, or meet an unfortunate end. So that's why I'm concerned.
Anyway... here's my character.
Name: Raymond; Last Name Unknown
Gender: Male
Appearance: Appears to be in his mid 30's. 6'2, with a fairly nice build; he keeps himself well trained, but he's not overly bulky. Wears a white dress shirt, white dress pants, white dress shoes, a white tie, and a white cowboy hat. Has brown hair. Wears a black eyepatch over his right eye. Keeps a gun at his right side. Wears a white belt on his waist, with a small white bag hanging on the right side.
Character Summary: Generally seeming polite and courteous, speaking properly, with a large generosity, and likes to think he has the air of 'a gentlemen'. However, this is somewhat a facade. Beneath his educated air, Raymond can be forceful, cunning, manipulative, snarky, and generally does what he pleases, including what it takes to get what he wants. Thankfully, Raymond is a PI, (Private Investigator,) and so while he can at times hold the belief that The End Justifies the Means, he generally seeks a good end, and will do what he can to help those in need.
Powers: He's a decent shot, but that's not what's remarkable about him. First off, his gun is a magic gun; it fires unlimited bullets, and the bullets are made of energy. Secondly, the bag Raymond holds at his right side contains a pocket dimension, capable virtually unlimited space; Raymond generally uses it to keep any and all supplies in there, ranging anywhere from food&drink, to gas-grenades. Finally, and most importantly of all, beneath his eyepatch, Raymond's right eye holds an incredible secret; the eye itself is an ever changing fusion of all the colors of the rainbow, but aside from being pretty and bewitching, holds great power. The potential uses for it are many, but if he were to have a scale, the lowest power level would be to fire a small beam of energy from it, while the largest would be to stop time itself, for 15 seconds. Among other uses are being able to read someone's mind, or hypnosis, or other forms of mind control, but those require eye contact. As I said, those are not the only uses of his power. (Though rest assured that I won't make him omnipotent, or anything like that; he won't be able to have vast time control, or vast mind control, etc.
There's just one catch to his power; the longer he takes off his eyepatch and unleashes it, the more and more he goes bat-shit crazy, though as soon as he puts his eyepatch on, thus closing off the power, his sanity returns to normal. His powers still have subtle effects on his personality though, which in part make him the man he is.
Backstory: Raymond likes to keep his past to himself, but suffice to say, he is an expert PI, who has been able to uses his... special talents, as well his various contacts, to continue to operate even in the new state of the world. While he can seem strange at times, he is nonetheless the man you can count on to solve your problems when something seems out of the ordinary — which, naturally, happens all the time now. However, Raymond himself is not a man without problems. He didn't always work alone; he used have others who worked with him, 4 to be exact. They were all... unique, in their own ways, but they were some of the greatest allies he had ever known. But then, due to reasons Raymond prefers not to openly disclose... they disappeared. This was one year ago. And now, Raymond works alone, still doing cases, but still very, very concerned...
This okay?

Zack - approved.
Joel - approved.
Nice use of background information with Zack.
Joel sounds... interesting to say the least. Just don't drink the Dragon's Breath.
