ok. I'v been reading. just give me the cue to enter.
I'm thinking not so much idealized as Stoic Woobie or Troubled, but Cute with Ira. I didn't mean to make him seem ideal, just kind of in a rough place in life. Trust me. I had to make him just a little cute, otherwise he'd be a total mess. Not quite cute with the girls his age yet, he's still kind of gawky, but more of the red-lipstic auntie pinching his cheek and going "Oh you're such a cute boy. why do you cause your mama so much heartbreak eh?" that kind of cute.

“Human beings are the only animals of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid.”—George Bernard ShawOkay, so idea number one:
Name: Goes by Cade
Age: About 4 million-ish
Gender: Proclaimed Male
Backstory: Cade is a dragon-esque elemental spirit in human form, who usually presides over the Cascade Mountains. Has the power to manipulate the elements fire, wind, and earth (being the spirit of a volcanic mountain range). Also has magically boosted speed/strength when in human form, even when counted amoung magi and spirits with a speed/strength specialty. All abilities are reduced outside of his home turf (taking him essentially from a high-end (nigh Deus-weight) Lottery-Weight to a normal one) People among the magically community who dislike him call him 'Helen' derogatorily, Cade, having once made an offhand comment to the effect of "Huh, well yeah I could have stopped the eruption if I wanted to."
Pesonality: Expect a lot of Blue-and-Orange Morality. He only comes into human society when sufficielty bored, as entertainment. May or may not get actually get drawn into whatever the rest of the characters are doing, and if so, it will only be to amuse himself (at least at first).
The idea basically came form a kitbash of Arcueid and Horo, with a dash of dragon-based Author Appeal, for anyone who cares. Again, he is probably a bit too powerful to use on a regular basis, so I might come up with someone else.

Sounds like a cool concept.
If I'm sure of something it's that I'm not sure of anything.Max Wanijima
Max is the result of both an alien experiment and a dark summoning ritual happening miles away from each other, but both on the day of Max's birth. Max was supposed to be a completely normal healthy girl, but thanks to otherworldly forces (in both senses) she is both an alien and a demon. Actually, she is really just housing both an alien and a demon within her. And as it turns out, both of the beings really hate each other. So far, this hasn't caused an damage to Max's body.
She likes to ride around on rollerblades, and each one represents one of the two beings within her, but she doesn't know anything about the supernatural things inside her.
Her right eye is blue and her left eye is red, and she has long brown hair, with a purple streak.
She is a bit of an Innocent Fanservice Girl.

Cria fama y echate a dormir MusingsAlright lets see...
I wasn't really planning on having aliens on this RP. It is Urban Fantasy instead of Urban Sci-Fi. Could you PM me the effects of both beings inside Max?
If I'm sure of something it's that I'm not sure of anything.I can change it to angel instead on alien.
Cria fama y echate a dormir MusingsThat would fit a lot better, thanks Suke.
And still I want to discuss what can I expect of such a mix.
If I'm sure of something it's that I'm not sure of anything.I would imagine random fits of holy magic and evil magic, a possibly angel vs. demon war and the like.
Cria fama y echate a dormir MusingsAngel vs Demon was is too Apocaliptic for my tastes, especially this early on.
Maybe a little conflict of a couple agents of both sides trying to recover her... we'll see.
It's kind of a dangerous character but I trust you to not go overboard with her.
She's approved.
If I'm sure of something it's that I'm not sure of anything.Name: Mira Black
Gender: Female
Age: 32, turns 33 in 8 days
Appearance: Short black hair, dark blue eyes, pale skin, slim but fit. Gives off a cold demeanor.
Profile: A biology professor at Volwick City's local university. Teaches an extremely tough course, has a fairly strict late homework policy, and can come off as... terrifying to many students, causing many detractors. But she has admirers too who claim that she's only like that because she wants students to learn... though they mostly admire her looks.
Personality: Quiet and outside of class, mostly keeps to herself. Can come off as cold but with time, she can develop a relationship on friendly terms. Has a few friends. Sometimes overly cautious. Tends to stay at home working on college stuff during the day and relaxing out in the city at night.
Possessions: Normal stuff, but also has pepper spray and a taser in her purse. After all, she prefers going out at night, so yeah.
...yes, she's a (heavily modified) copy of another character I played way back. SO SUE ME.

Because Grayson is a goddamn flake who can't hold his R Ps, I'll drag in a character from one of those R Ps. And look, if Starbound was allowed to be a teacher, I could be one of those outsider type people.
- Name: Raymond Joseph
- Age: 18
- Gender: M
- Nationality/Ethnicity: Deep Southern Kentucky, now moved up to Volwick as a professional huntsman.
- Profession: Hunter
- Appearance/Clothing: Stereotypical "good ol boy" clothing. A plaid button-down shirt(but because this is the future he has armor underneath it), bluejeans, big leather boots that go clump, and a brown hunting cap.
- Personality: He's the Badass Normal without the Badass. He's just an ordinary bigoted Redneck with something to prove: that this is our Earth, you fuckin' supernatural basterds ain't takin' it from us, I tell hyew whut!
- Backstory: Ray was born in the backwoods of Kentucky, all his life being told that humans were special and that God created us to rule all of creation. Ray took this philosophy and ran with it, becoming a well-renowned hunter in Kentucky before being invited to a hunting tournament in a special hunting ground in Volwick. That was when these godless abominations attacked; a Dryad tried to kill him. He has decided to travel the city, providing relief work and killing all the nonhumans he comes across.
- Skills/Talents: First Aid, Wilderness Survival, Hunting, general Redneck Skills.
- Inventory: Two guns: a precise hunting rifle(.460 Magnum) and a shotgun. A big one. Has a knife designed for skinning animals, as well as an axe for felling trees and a book of matches.
Seems interesting. He's approved.
A note though, most supernaturals have means of making sure normal humans don't notice them. Would you prefer Raymond to blindly stumble around looking for supernaturals or maybe his encounter with the Dryad gave him the ability to notice them?
If I'm sure of something it's that I'm not sure of anything.I'd think that he only notices them if he drinks something special. I'm tentatively saying magical moonshine, but that's sorta stupid.
Perhaps whiskey blessed by the shine of the full moon? Could complete the moonshine reference.
Or maybe I'm stupid and the Dryad attack allowed him to see monsters and sense glowing auras on anyone with supernatural abilities.

Redneck skills include being able to make literally anything out of Duct Tape, given a week, extensive knowledge of various knives and lighters (and fire in general), and he would definately have crazy amounts of WD-40 and Duct Tape (if it moves and shouldn't, Duct Tape, if it doesn't move and should, WD-40).
At least, the oppinion of a resident of a seriously redneck town (I know a guy that went to prom in a duct tape tux, with a duct tape corsage [red and pink duct tape], and made it all himself).
Hey look!. Yu-Gi-Oh meets wrasslin'!I'm about to say no to the Moonshine because I don't see how he would know about it or where he could learn how to make it magical.
If I'm sure of something it's that I'm not sure of anything.Yeah, I'll just say he sees things.
Understood.
If I'm sure of something it's that I'm not sure of anything.- Name: John Pillerson
- Age: 61
- Gender: M
- Profession: formally a doctor, now works as a heath teacher at the high school
- Appearance: Glasses, pointy nose, white uncombed hair, black eyes, always wheres a lab coat (no one knows why), and wears shorts, walks with a limp and has a cane
- Personality: Bitter, paranoid, conspiracy theorist
- Background: Was once a soldier in the Vietnam war, but suffered an injury to the leg and had to go home after two years of service. However he managed to sneak out a single shot grenade launcher as a souvenir. He then went to work as a doctor until his license got removed for coming to work drunk. He then moved to the city of Volwick to get a fresh start as a health teacher. Very recently he went to the old library and was drawn to a mysterious book that he decided to check out. It is written in some foreign language, but unknown to him it's really a book of spells.
- Equipment: Has a shotgun he keeps at home, carries around his wooden cane which doubles as a sword, and reading glasses

Accepted.
If I'm sure of something it's that I'm not sure of anything.Mae Hayashi
Daughter of a local directive of a Japanese Corporation, Mae is The Libby of the class, and one of the worst kinds of them all. She has money. She has good looks, with childlike face, long silken dark hair and shapely body. And she has brains, as she is on the top scores consistently on all disciplines. She takes great pleasure in reasserting her high class status, being surrounded by the Girl Posse. Truth to be told, she's not even human. She's a kitsune just like her two parents, having just one tail for being under a century old.As such, she can change her shape to one of the fox at will, she has keen fox senses, power over illusions, and growing witchcraft skills as well as the ability to throw fox-fire. People spiritually aware can sometimes spot her tail when she's distracted or stressed.

Approved.

Hmm I see... We'll have to have him watch our next encounter with the unknown to introduce him to the group. I worry a bit that he sounds a little idealized but otherwise he's fine.
