  • Name: Marvin Lancaster
  • Age: 20 (just barely not legal for alcohol yet)
  • Gender: Male
  • Race: Human, technically. Skin-walker more accurately.
  • Appearance: Like this, but minus the dog and sword.
  • Personality: Bored, and perfectly willing to do things on a whim (it's why he's on this trip in the first place), Marvin is your prototypical college student - barely getting by on classes, and spending most of his time goofing off and generally partying it up. He tends to be laid back and determindly unserious about just about anything not related to his shapeshifter heritage, whereupon he gets incredibly defensive.
  • Bio: Born technically from the lineage of ancient shapeshifters, and thereby inheriting the skill as a matter of blood. Of course, thanks to various intermarriage, he doesn't actually count as being a member of the clan except for having just enough of the blood to retain the shapeshifting. He learned the skills for the sake of not having Power Incontinence, but otherwise did his best to pretend that he didn't have them, and was just an ordinary person. Currently in college, he undertook a dare by his friends - to roadtrip via hitch-hiking.
  • Powers/Skills: Shapeshifting via "wearing" animal pelts. He only has squirrel, cat, and chihuahua pelts, but can theoretically use any pelt so long as it's genuine. While an animal, he can do just about anything that the animal could theoretically do, including talk to others of the animal's kind (that being said, they only have animal intelligence, so it's not the most useful thing in the world) but his eyes glow noticably, so it's hard to pass as an ordinary animal. He can also tell if an animal pelt is genuine or not at a glance, and happens to be pretty good with animals in general.
  • Other: Cannot stand to be near dead things. Allergic to shellfish. Studying parapsychology in college.

  • Name: Jake O'Byrne
  • Age: 15
  • Gender: Male
  • Race: Jack-o'-Lantern (Happy Halloween!)
  • Appearance: The Tagalong Kid
  • Personality: He's pretty Hot-Blooded. While he does try to be friendly with people, his tactlessness and temper, as well as his penchant for mischief, can make him come off as kind of a jerk at times.
  • Bio: Just a kid who wanted something to do for his summer vacation. Homework was definitely off the table.
  • Powers/skills:
    • Ember of Hell: A small flame that is kept protected in an extremely durable lantern with bulletproof glass which he takes everywhere. If this flame goes out, so does Jake's powers.
    • Pyrokinesis: Par for the course for Jack-o'-Lanterns. Jake's mastery extends to raising temperatures, lighting things he touches or even his own body on fire, and throwing fireballs. He also has immunity to flames and burns, but that should go without saying.
    • Spirit Form: The iconic Jack-o'-Lantern form,with a hat-wearing pumpkin atop a ghostly blue cloak. In this form, Jake can do ghost things, like fazing through walls and floating. He can also disappear, and have nothing appear but his lantern as a small light in the darkness. However, in this form, he moves extremely slowly, since the only way he can get around is by floating.
    • Driving Ability: Failed out of driver's ed due to reckless driving. Whatever you do, don't put him behind the wheel.
    • Athletic: He's pretty sporty, being on the soccer team as well as the baseball team back at school. He's got some pretty strong legs, and his pitch isn't half bad either.
  • Other:
    • While he's one of the younger road trippers, he does not like being treated like a kid, and he definitely does not like being told what to do.
    • He also has a bit of a sweet tooth, which he tries to keep a secret.
    • Brought his backpack with him, which includes some snacks, his camera, a baseball, and his bat. He also brought his homework with the intention of feeding it to the first animal he runs into.

  • Name: Sylvester Samson
  • Age: 22 Years Old
  • Gender: Male
  • Race: Male Snake Man. So...Lamius.
  • Appearance: Short cropped hair, cut very close to the head. The actual skin part is rather pale, due to his preference to stay inside and study most of the time, the scales that cover his tail which makes up everything below the waist are a light brown. He's...decent looking really, he's incredibly plain looking for all intents and purposes.
  • Personality: His appearance isn't the only thing plain. Sylvester's a decent guy, who prefers to stay inside and study, so he doesn't make very many friends outside of those he meets in the halls. That being said, he's not an extreme introvert and is actually capable of holding a conversation without wishing he were somewhere else. He does have a significant shortcoming in that he has quite the temper and a pretty short fuse.
  • Bio: A Straight A Student who just finished his master's degree and is on this road trip at the request of one of his friends, Sylvester is not very used to the rowdy nature of some of the other road trip goers and as such can be quite exasperated by the events of the road trip easily.
  • Powers/skills: The ability to drive is his most important skill. For party tricks, he can swallow objects much bigger than he has any right to, such as things the size of his head. He also has a cast iron stomach, able to eat...almost anything.
  • Other: Nothing really else to talk about. Other than the occasional shedding problem.

  • Name: Rachel Christie McWell
  • Age: 57 which is totally like 22 among vampires, guys. Calling her old runs the risk of getting bitten.
  • Gender: Female, obviously.
  • Race: Vampire.
  • Appearance: Long, silky black hair, really pale complexion, red colored eyes and long fangs, those are the basics. Thin build, 1, 65 meters of height, pretty face. Wardrobe highly depends on her mood and her baggage requires all of her enhanced strength and organizational skills not to explode open. Handling it wrong can get someone killed as it simply explodes clothes out. Still, during the day she tends to dress up in many layers and showing as little skin as possible, while during the night it's all a mix of comfort and showing off.
  • Personality: Rachel would be considered highly bipolar or like two totally different personalities if you don't know where her mood swings come from. Which is, during the day she's very low energy, deliberate and sedate, which sometimes comes with a light sarcastic streak and general dour disposition while at night it's completely the opposite. Bright, energetic, full of laughter and with an attitude that never wants the party to stop, Rachel is the bane of those who want a quiet evening and a prompt sleep. She's more than a little vain and places a big emphasis on appearing like a noble while being deathly embarrassed of her past as a 'commoner'. A bit of a show off but at heart, she's a good girl. She's also afraid of seeming not cool as her actual youth was a couple of decades behind of that of modern youth, so she can get very embarrassed if someone teases her about liking something way out of fashion.
  • Bio: Born of a really poor, hard working family Rachel enjoyed a childhood of simple pleasures, running around in her neighborhood and parks and simply enjoying life to the fullest, with big dreams and little to not responsibilities. However, that changed when her dad's boss took a interest in him due to his keen business mind and hard working nature and then turned him into a vampire like him, to secure their new bond and make sure he got a lot of years to keep being productive. Rachel's father by extension, turned his whole family. Thus began Rachel's life as a New Rich, New 'Undead', New Noble Poser. She got all the toys and pretty things she always dreamed of while at the same time losing a lot of her freedom in exchange as she was placed in a prestigious school and needed to catch up a lot on what being a proper vampire is all about. All in all exhausting, however, she has taken to the lifestyle. She kept a circle of friends outside of her new life however and was more delighted at the idea of the road trip than she let on about. Anyway, she's willing to grace the commoners with her dazzling presence as she goes on this trip.
  • Powers/skills:
    • Can't drive: Would love to drive but never learned how as she was too young to learn before she turned into a vampire and daddy got her a chauffeur after they became rich. Being embarrassed of not being able to before her friends impedes her from trying to.
    • Drink blood: Needs to drink blood once a day or else she goes really sour. Has on her baggage a week's worth of O- blood in vampire friendly juice boxes.
    • I Am The Night: Can turn into or attract creatures of the night. For example wolves, cats, bats and owls.
    • Enhanced Physical Abilities: At night this is the standard, during the day she can use the power however it drains her of strength quite quickly, nearly making her fall asleep.
    • Vampiric Charm: Pretty eyes, pretty face, a nice voice and the right intonation makes all the difference. Vampires are naturally charming and Rachel is good at getting her way when she needs to. She's quite persuasive when she attempt to be, though it works better with people that don't know firsthand how she really is.
    • Miscellaneous: Knows a lot about current fashion, can play the piano or keyboard decently as well as being an avid dancer.
  • Other:
    • Baggage of Bursting: A very dangerous item, while seemingly nothing more than a normal, pink and black baggage only fell rituals must keep this thing from exploding. Crammed to the very brim with the baggage of a pretentious new rich vampire girl, the thing visibly vibrates and strains to hold the cargo within. How Rachel opens it and closes it and more importantly, retrieves anything from within is a mystery... only moreso, how even after bursting, all it takes is set the zipper right once again and that's all it takes to fix it.
    • Essentials: Has a top of the line cellphone plus a daddy given credit card for emergencies, oh and a 3DS equivalent as well. [down][down][down]

  • Name: Helena Samson
  • Age: 15 ("But it's totally 19 in harpie years")
  • Gender: Female
  • Race: Harpy
  • Appearance: Like so, but with taloned hands at the second joints.
  • Personality: Kind of an introvert, Helena is kind of unsociable and irritable about things, which is why her (step) bro decided to bring her along - break her out of her shell, so to speak. She really only lays back once she's had a drink or two - at home she enjoyed sneaking off with their dad's beer and getting wasted (whenever her bro caught her, she'd make the argument that she's totally drinking age if you convert it to harpy years, legalism be damned). Would rather be at home playing video games, but at least her dad won't catch her drinking on this trip. Oh, and she loves good food and good drink.
  • Bio: A somewhat average student - Bs and Cs - without much motivation, Helena was looking forward to a whole summer doing nothing but playing video games until Sylvester her older brother (by adoption, since, well, different race) brought her along. Somewhat annoyed about it, but at least she's away from the eyes of her parents - time to pop open some beer cans!
  • Powers/Skills: As a harpy, does harpy things like fly, being able to pick stuff up with her feet, and having super sharp talons that she likes to use to pop open cans instead of those silly little tab things. A massive lightweight when it comes to drinking and also not too strong (hollow bones or such). Can drive... kind of, with some driver's ed practice, but doesn't even have her permit, so if cops get involved, hoo boy. Oh, good eyesight too.
  • Other: Snake man is my niichan. Oh, and bringing along a 3DS, or whatever this world's equivalent is. And a laptop. And a cell phone.

Assuming you make a profile before someone else that gets accepted, yes, you do have a spot, SPMA.
Daltz: I don't have time to look at the profile right now (going to bed), but do bear in mind that if I will accept you it will be in the condition that you will write in past tense like everyone else and that you will not sound like William Shatner (ie, less ellipses, please).

  • Name: Lilith Bastille
  • Age: A couple thousand years (15-16 to demons)
  • Gender: Female
  • Race: Demonic Goo Girl Succubuss
  • Appearance: When solid
  • Personality: The quintessential Rich Bitch. Lilith is spoiled, stuck-up, all about herself, and having a good time. She isn't very smart, in fact, she's pretty downright naive. She doesn't care about anything. It's possibly she doesn't have any emotions, literally. At the same time, she is still demonic royalty, so she can turn deadly mean if she wants to. She's pretty blunt, and doesn't really get sarcasm. She also a massive party girl, into drinking and drugs and she even keeps a growing list of all the magical races that she still has to have sex with at least once. She loses her solidity in the heat. She has very strange observations and knowledge about anatomy.
  • Bio: The current ruler of Hell is her grandfather on her mother's side. She's always lived among royalty, and money. She's been surrounded by so much torment, torture and death by those around her, that she is pretty desensitized to that kind of thing. She would love her summers and winters where she would get to visit her and live among them, and party and make friends with normal earth teenagers.
  • Powers/Skills:
    • Immunity to heat and fire
    • A gooier form that can not feel pain.
    • Growing wings on her back and flying.
    • Mild shapeshifting into small creatures like squirrels, but she always ends up red.
    • As a succubus, she magical looks attractive to literally every single kind of sentient creature. This doesn't mean they will always want her. Just that they can't help but find her sexy.
    • Her bodily fluids have calming, and hallucinogenic properties to most creatures.
    • Has a magical demonic bank account to draw funds from.
  • Other: Rachel is her best friend, and Lilith is helping plan the trip.

  • Name: Bob Janu
  • Age: Genie equivelent of 18
  • Gender: Male
  • Race: Genie
  • Appearance: He actually appears a fairly normal kid of mixed race with basic brown hair of average height and a skinny build. The only exception to this are the eyes which are made up of multicolored spirals. This is of course a disguise as his true form is a being made of swirls of energy (even being in that form takes a lot out of him)
  • Personality: Bob would be a Jackass Genie except he's not actually a jackass, just a bit sullen and a bit of a ne'er-do-well prankster. He likes to pull tricks but they're pretty harmless
  • Bio: Bob was freed by his lamp early in his life through what he supposes could be called amazing and cunning wit. However it's easy to claim amazing and cunning wit when said master is a total moron. Since then he's been kind of wandering around. He decided to go to college to see what that was like and joined the road trip for a similar reason.
  • Powers/skills:
    • Illusions: Cheap tricks really, they're only convincing if he puts quite a bit of effort into it.
    • Materialization: Can create something small and uncomplicated out of thin air about once every month.
    • Lamp: He carries around his lamp in case he needs a place to crash with a bit of room
  • Other:
    • Weakness: Has access to only a portion of a genie's true power since he is quite young and therefore doesn't know how to access his full power without a master wishing for it.
