Alexandra gazed up at the colosseum with a sick feeling growing in her stomach. She had arrived in Essyrn just that morning after a long journey through the desert. After dropping off her stuff in an inn, she decided to travel around the town a little. It was famed for its beauty and she had always wanted to visit it. Plus, Alexandra figured it was about time she should be allowed to rest somewhere for a while. After all, it was her eighteenth birthday.

But she knew what happened in the colosseums and did not approve of it. People forced to fight animals or even each other? It was horrible. If she had the money, she would have freed every single one of them. But she didn't, so Alexandra lowered her gaze and adjusted her cloak.

In a city such as this one, she knew there were bound to be bounty hunters. Her days of showing off her wings would be suspended until she left. So before she came to Essyrn, Alexandra had bought a big cloak. It would cover her bleached white hair and her giant folded dove wings. While people would definitely be able to tell she had something on her back, hopefully they wouldn't question her. Having wings wasn't a huge deal. Having pure white wings might be. After all, they were her own signature look. And if they found her... well, maybe she would end up in the colosseum as well.

Unsettled by her own thoughts, Alexandra hastily turned around... and ran straight into somebody. She rebounded and her hood fell off. Embarrassed, she quickly pulled her hood back over her hair and bowed without even looking at the person she ran into. "Sorry..." she mumbled, not sure what else to say.

With a whopping headache and a sore throat, Tanya squinted upwards as she lifted the bottle in her hand to her lips. Tipping it upside down, she left it there for a good ten seconds before realizing that nothing had come out. The bottle was empty. Dropping the bottle, she took a few uneven steps closer to the building and squinted her eyes more. It was large and wooden and had a giant sign that she was currently trying to read.

After a few more seconds of concentrated squinting, Tanya suddenly opened her eyes fully. "Aha!" she shouted, finally able to read. "Cray Investigation and Assistance... could be a bar." And with that, she returned her gaze down to the door. Normally, she would have just walked on in, as if she was completely sober. But right now, she was as far away from sober as she had been in weeks. So instead of calmly walking in, she took a few more rocky steps before tripping on the air and smashing into the door.

"Owww..." Tanya moaned, before clumsily turning the doorknob and opening the door. She had one hand on her forehead, where she had hit the door. The other hand was placed a foot or so in front of her body to help her navigate around. Tanya took a couple steps forward before deciding that sitting would be a much more logical decision. So she sat down, smack dab on the floor, directly in front of the door. Then she started giggling, watching all the tall people walk around.

At a Glance:

Name: Tanya Danes

Age: 24

Gender: Female

Species: Human (100% Adelan)

Height: 5 foot 2

Occupation: Self-Declared Scholar and Manager for Cray Investigations and Assistance (CIA)


Not-So-Basic Information:

Looks:
Tanya's Adelan ethnicity definitely shines through. She has dark skin with coppery tones and murky green eyes. Her straight hair is so dark brown it almost looks black. She has a robust and curvy figure that she adorns in too tight clothes that show off those curves.

Drawings of Tanya can be found here: I must have all the drawings of her. *_*

Personality:
Honestly, Tanya is sleazy in many ways. She is almost constantly drinking (though she is usually at least somewhat sober) and will sleep around with as many men and/or women that want her. She's ungodly flirty and sexy, though some men might find her obvious approaches unattractive. That being said, she is also a genius. Whether or not she is actually a scholar or even went to school is unknown, but her knowledge is undeniable. Even when drinking, she can get a job done without much trouble. Nobody really knows what she'd be like completely sober... nor why she drinks so much in the first place.

She's been drunk enough that her body is used to it in some ways. She can walk straight and talk logically and sometimes even clearly (no slurring). In fact, sometimes she can pass off as sober. That being said, she smells like booze. So that's kind of a dead giveaway.

Magic/Abilities:
She is super smart even though she's always drunk. It's also near impossible to win an argument with her. Partially because of this, her ability to get knowledge from people is pretty good. In terms of actual magic, however, nobody knows if she has any. People are naturally charmed and/or turned on by her, but whether that's magic or just a natural thing is unknown. She knows basic fighting skills, but nothing special. If she was to win a battle, it would be due to her cleverness and ability to plan ahead.

History:
Honestly, Tanya doesn't remember her own past. But she makes up boatloads of stories! If your character would somehow know anything about her actual past, however, you're going to have to message me to find out about it. :)

Threads:

Hair of the Dog (not related to Hair of the Wolf)—Tanya goes out to have a little fun and finds someone especially intruiging.

The New Manager—Tanya drunkenly joins the guild CIA and meets some of her coworkers.

Puzzles and Fools (takes place day after The New Manager)—Tanya goes out to help Jaxel on a mystery murder case... and things get dangerous.

The Good, The Bad, and The Drunk—Girls of CIA go out drinking!

Bottoms Up!—Tanya meets a special 'friend' (Soren—Klei's character!) who she'll be spending quite a lotta time with in the future. COMPLETE

Hair of the Wolf (takes place directly after Bottoms Up!)—Tanya wakes up with her new 'friend'... except now he's a wolf.

Strange Nights, Stranger Acquiantences—Tanya gets a little/wayyyy too wasted and decides to have fun by throwing a competition to see who is the strongest at the bar. The prize? Well her body, of course!

Hey guys! Guess what? Well, some of you already know, but I'm going to a cabin from this Sunday (21) to Wednesday (24). And there isn't any wifi. D: So if you're in a group thread with me, feel free just to skip over me and if it's just us two, well, you're gonna have to wait.

It isn't like I'll be gone a long time but I figured I should let y'all know since I'm usually on here 24/7.

On another note, I'M GETTING AN ART TABLET IN THE MAIL TOMORROW! Meaning I'm gonna try to digital art! And who knows... if we're in a thread together and I like what's happening... I might do a drawing of it. ;)

Love y'all!

At a Glance:

Name: Fiara

Age: In her 30s. (Normally Appears Six)

Gender: Female

Species: Vampire

Height: 3 foot 6

Occupation: None


Not-So-Basic Information:

Looks:
In her normal form, Fiara looks like a doll like six year old girl. She has plump red lips, pale skin, and long, princess curled, black hair topped with a red bow. Her eyes are also red and she has fangs, like all classical vampires. She wears a black dress that has a matching big, red bow in the back. She wears no shoes. After all, as a vampire, she doesn't have to dress warmly.



Personality:
Fiara hasn't had the chance to talk a lot to people and doesn't have a very good understanding on life. Literally. Like, she doesn't understand that people can die or age or what life is. She has drained a few people completely of their blood, but, luckily for the others, tends to get full before that point. She is quite naive and acts more like a six year old than somebody in their thirties.

Magic/Abilities:
Fiara is a vampire and therefor doesn't sleep and can't spend time in the sun. However, she has perfect night vision and great sense of smell (especially for blood). She also knows some magic, though it is uncontrollable in Fell.

Before she visited Fell or became a vampire, Fiara's mom had taught her some strong age mimicking magic (she has no memory of this and just believes everyone can do it). In Fell, that magic goes wild. So while she normally looks like a six year old girl, there is actually a chance that she'll look 30, 75, 100, or any other age. She gains and loses power based on that age and has no control as to what age she'll be (she's turned into a baby multiple times). Her mindset also changes to that age, though that's a little harder to explain. Think of it this way: all the information she knows is the same, how she processes it depends on the maturity of her age (the older she is, the smarter she gets). Because she's in Fell, her magic randomly activates and deactivates.

History:
Fiara has no memory of how she turned into a vampire (or must of her past, for that matter) and doesn't remember any land other than Fell (post traumatic stress disorder). For now, she lives based on urges and instinct. Drinking blood and avoiding sun has filled up most of her life.

At a Glance:

Name: Darya

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Species: Damhnait (Deer Folk)

Height: 5 foot 8

Occupation: Musician


Not-So-Basic Information:

Looks:
Darya looks like all Damhnait females in that she has a deer like face, hoof like feet, a tail, and fur covering her entire body. Her fur has a orange tinge to it with a few white spots here and there (the most visible being the three between her ears) and her ears are larger than most of Damhnait ears, contributing to her talented hearing.

She adorns herself in a simple brown dress with a light red bow on the side. She usually wears a few dangly necklaces as well (which change often due to her vast collection) and has something resembling a quiver attached her her back. But instead of carrying arrows, it carries her aulos.

Personality:
Darya is calm and peaceful, preferring negotiation over fighting. She enjoys talking and getting to know people and usually won't let a conversation die out. She has a creative spirit and loves to write music for her aulos (an instrument similar to a flute). She's also a vegetarian, like most Damhnait.

Magic/Abilities:
Darya can, more or less, control the power of sound. Navigating using sound is second nature for her (like a dolphin), but doing other things can consume a lot of energy. Using her instrument, she can put magic into the sounds created to affect the people that hear it. Whether it calms them down or riles them up or something depends on the melody. As time progresses and she learns new melodies, she also learns new things that her music can do. As said earlier, however, using her magic takes a toll on her body (first making her exhausted, then sore, and then can actually make her bleed) if she uses it too much or for too long. She can also sing or play other instruments and still convey the magic, but it's not typically as strong.

History:
From a young age, Darya loved music. It started with her singing and being able to please people with her magic. When she turned five, her parents bought her an aulos, which is the same one she uses now. She loved it and constantly had it with her, playing music wherever she was. Then, when she turned eleven, she discovered how to weave magic into her music. She developed this magic all by herself and still uses it when she can. Her childhood was quite peaceful, surrounded by family and friends.

Mera had finally made it to La'marri after a long journey over water. After being so long without a pack, she was about ready to get settled again. But first she wanted to explore the city, known for its magic. Seemed like a logical place for a new werewolf pack to form.

Walking into the city, Mera didn't bother covering up her wolf like features. A city like this wouldn't think too much about a girl with ears and a tail and if they did, well, oh well. Since she planned on staying around here for a while, it would be logical to search for a job. But she didn't know the rules of the pack yet and didn't want to get on their bad side before she even joined. There shouldn't be another full moon for over half a month, so she had time to wander casually.

The sun was burning bright and it was making the back of her neck all sweaty from her hair. If she had to cover up all of her oddities, she felt as if she would be melting right about now. Water sounded superb and some good meat to go with it after all those days of cold food on the boat would taste heavenly. So Mera entered the closest cafe she could find and sat down carefully (so she wouldn't squish her tail) at a table for two, alone. The food smelled delicious.

At a Glance:

Name: Mera Zarci

Age: 23

Gender: Female

Species: Werewolf

Height: 5 foot 9

Occupation: Doctor


Not-So-Basic Information:

Human Form:
Mera is tall for a girl, perhaps due to her werewolf blood. She has blue eyes outlined by black and also has a slightly upturned nose. Her smile is thinner and long like a wolf's. Also, her her hair color stays the same as her fur color. She has a wolf tail that matches her hair. She wears dresses with a hole cut out for her tail to fit through. The dresses are sewn up both sides and are usually halter tops, giving them the ability to rip the string but not the fabric when she transforms. That way she can remake the dresses every time.

ART!


Wolf Form:
Mera is actually a fairly small wolf and doesn't have the power some other wolves do. That being said, she is nimble and fast. Her fur coat resembles her hair as a human, and that's about all I can say. Her eye color stays the same.

Personality:
Mera is the kind of doctor you'd hope to have—kind, patient, and compassionate. She could probably double as a therapist (and would if you wanted her to). If you give her a medical challenge, she'll work on it until she finds the answer. Her goal is to create a potion that can unmake werewolves. Because even though she is happy with her life, she knows others who are not. There isn't a lot that can phase her and she adapts to even the strangest of situations very quickly.

Magic/Abilities:
Mera is a talented doctor, even without her magic. Her stitching skills are phenomenal and she can perform surgeries.

But in life threatening situations, Mera also has the ability to put people in magic induced comas (she has to physically touch them for this to work). In this situation, they black out and lose all sense of pain and they blood actually stops flowing for a maximum of an hour. In a way, it's like time stopped for them. However, this ability is a double blade. When a person is in this coma, Mera is the only person who can touch them. Anybody else does it and they wake back up. (This makes it near pointless to use in battle). Also, after using this ability, Mera loses her sense of smell, sight, and hearing. This means she has to do everything based on touch (and taste) alone. Those three senses are lost for a full twenty four hours, whether or not the person even stays in the coma for their full hour. Because of this, Mera only uses this ability in dire situations.

Also, Mera is a werewolf. In her werewolf form, she's just like any other werewolf (though she can still use the coma ability). As a human, she gets perks. Her wolf ears allow for her to hear just as well as when she's a wolf all her other senses are heightened.

History:
Both of Mera's parents were werewolves, making her a werewolf from birth. Although it isn't known why she doesn't turn completely into a human, it's most likely due to some sort of mutation. She grew up with her parents and their pack, but left when she turned sixteen to explore the world and find a new pack of her own. 

OOC: Takes place directly after Card Tricks (before Rufus leaves)

Zeina made her way to the main dorm room so she could give the new girl a formal tour. If Leuenaar had done her job correctly and sent the girl to the dorming area when she was recruited, the girl should have already met Meisie and some of the kids as well as have been sleeping in one of the few empty dorm rooms. The girl shouldn't have had to wait long, seeing as Meisie came and got her when the poker game was just finishing up (Meisie had gone to tell Zeina that Elijah had returned and complied to bringing the girl back to the dorms).

Preparing herself for the barrage of kids, Zeina opened the door and watched as the kids slowly turned their heads from their individual activities to herself. Then many of them came running towards her. Some of the older kids didn't care as much about seeing Zeina and some of the newer ones didn't quite trust her yet. But the kids who thought of her like a mother had their auras were all covered in bright yellow, the color of cheerfulness.

Zeina offered the kids a smile and rubbed some of them on top of their head. "Now kids," she started, getting to business. "I have to show the lovely new Scavenger Wolf around. I trust you've all treated her kindly so far? I have to get her acquainted with everything. Would you mind playing elsewhere until I'm done? Then I promise I'll spend time with you." Zeina glanced up at Meisie and motioned for her to keep watch of the kids who were slowly moving off to go do their own business.

With a kind smile directed to the new girl, Zeina walked towards her and explained, "I'm the Coyote, as you probably know. But call me Zeina. After all, you're one of us now."

At a Glance:

Name: Elizabeth Largentine

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Species: Half Human, Half Fae (Doesn't know about the fae part)

Height: 5 foot 6

Occupation: Lives off of her dad's money


Not-So-Basic Information:

Looks: I'll add a picture of her soonish, so I'm not going to go into a lot of detail about her looks. She has long, silky smooth purple hair that is often kept in intricate hairstyles. Her eyes are brown, like her father's, and she is pale like most people from Serendipity. Her figure may be considered more petite and her features might be slender than most others, but she never questioned it and instead always considered it part of her 'infinite beauty'. She wears nice dresses that often have a certain poofiness at the bottom and are certainly not meant for travelling in (not that she cares). She also carries a parasol with her at almost all times.

Personality:
If it wasn't obvious already, Elizabeth is a snobby rich girl. She was daddy's little girl all her life and believes that she is better than everyone. Literally. If she talks to you, she believes you should be honored. She is very prideful. I think I've said enough.

Magic/Abilities:
She can annoy you until you're dead. Jkjk. She doesn't have any fighting skills or any magic that she knows of. (But could some be discovered?! Maybe!)

History:
Elizabeth's mom was a fairy, though this has never been told to Elizabeth. Her mom and dad had a short romance while they were travelling together, but she ended up getting pregnant. Not wanted her child to be discriminated against in Serendipity and knowing that Elizabeth could pass off as just a girl with a strong amount of fae blood, she left Elizabeth at her father's doorstep. He never told her who her mother truly was, just that she died giving birth. He felt guilty, however, and spoiled Elizabeth her entire life. He had the money to do so, until it was discovered that he had actually been running a drug business underneath his shop front. Now Elizabeth is on a journey to stay with her aunt and uncle while her dad is in prison.

So I've had an account for over a year now and never made one of these... here I go!  :-*

Alexandra (17): Alexandra is a kind, selfless girl with beautiful angel (dove) wings. She can control illusions with practice and is half fae. She was framed when she was little for killing her host sister, leaving her with a bounty on her head. Alexandra has never killed anyone, but she is on a constant search for the assassins that killed her host sister.

Alycia (16): Alycia is a shy, redheaded mermaid who gains legs when she's on land. She was a slave for almost her whole life, though nobody knew she was really a mermaid. She gained freedom about a year ago and has been searching for her family since. She has unique magic due to her mermaid blood, and is also able to disguise herself as other people.

Cedric (30): Cedric is a short (but strong!) elven male who couldn't care less for women or alcohol—he just loves treasure! He loves the thrill of looking for it, he loves the fun of bargaining it off, he loves the attention it gives him. I don't really know what else to say... but treasure hunting is his life.

Darya (19): Darya is a Damhnait (deer person) musician. She is kind, peaceful, and loves to talk. She plays her aulos (instrument similar to a flute) whenever she has time and can perform some magic related to sound.

Elaina (19): Elaina is a bold, good hearted girl. She dresses in bright colors and will always help those being picked on. She's both noble and flirty. Elaina is half water nymph and water loves her. Due to this, she can control water and can never be hurt by it.

Elizabeth (18): Elizabeth is a rich and snotty 18 year old who has no fighting capabilities but thinks she's better than anybody else. She'll find reasons to discriminate against you, and hates fae folk. (Unbeknownst to her, she's half fairy.)

Fiara (6?): Fiara is a vampire that lives in Fell. Bitten when she was six, she has the appearance of a sweet and perfect doll (ignoring her fangs and red eyes, that is). However, even though she is in her 30s, she never matured due to lack of parenting and real communication. She doesn't understand much of the world nor the concept of death. She does have magic (which runs wild in Fell) but her magic can't hurt anyone. Her fangs, however, can.

Gage/Heather (22): Gage and Heather are basically two people in one body. While Gage is kind and a good listener, Heather loves to stir up trouble and is mean. They both have the ability to levitate things.
When Gage is in control, the body looks like his would and he can act how he likes while Heather resides in his subconscious. Certain situations switch this around, leaving Heather in control and Gage in the subconscious.

Jana (38): Okay so I can't really explain all of Jana's complexities in this small space, but I will do what I can. She dresses like a dude, but no longer hides the fact that she's a chick. She cross-dressed into the Connloath army, got caught after five years, killed a man, and now has a bounty on her head. She has a ton of siblings (nine, to be exact—excluding her dead twin brother), including Illi (listed below). Yup. They're Treyburns. She visits them on occasion, but doing so is risking her life so it doesn't happen often. She also has hemophobia.

Jillian (Illi) (21): Illi is the sweetest little (kinda?) girl that has ever existed. Amongst royalty, at least. That being said, her parents are minor nobles and she was mostly raised by her brother and the books she is constantly reading, but still. She's sweet and eccentric and usually naive.

Kayala (19): Kayala is a Yoreiqi who was saved by the power of a miracle when she was born. (She doesn't look like a typical Yoreiqi.) Her blood has gained special healing abilities due to the miracle. She now spends her time traveling the world, trying to help others.

Lali (18?): Lali is a kind girl who had her memories erased. She is half water nymph and half human, but doesn't know who either of her parents are. While looking for her memories, she makes it her goal to help whoever she can. She is able to boost (or degrade) certain aspects of people by using touch. The more intimate the touch, the stronger the magic.

Marie (17): Marie was raised by a noble family who adopted her and her brother when their parents (who were servants of the family) died. She has always tried her best to be perfect and make up for her lack of noble blood and has lived a very stressed life because of it. She hides the stress from everyone, however, because she doesn't want them to worry about her.

Meki (17): Meki is a proud member of the Duhjari Crow Tribe. However, to her dismay, she can't help with much. She can't fight, or even wander to gather food. She is blind, though not many notice this without being told. Quite frail, Meki takes pride in the one thing she can do: see the future.

Mera (23): Mera is a kindhearted werewolf doctor. There isn't much else I can sum up about her... she can put people in magically induced comas for an hour in exchange for her hearing, sight, and scent for the entire day. She may or may not be going insane... thanks to Kirnardaz.

Nyimi: (15): I haven't updated her profile, but I know her details. Message me if you're curious.

Piper (16): Piper is a half elf, half human actor. Her magic allows her to change her hair and her eyes, but her skill accounts for the rest of her ability. Almost every day, she decides a role to play and won't leave that role no matter what happens. Because of that, it's impossible to say how she'll act to things.

Rora (22): Rora is an interesting one. Honestly, looking at her profile (though it is long) is probably the best way to understand her. She's a wandering assassin/freelance worker, and most commonly kills people by planting seeds into their bloodstream using her tongue. Those seeds bloom into roses while draining the blood of their victim. It's fun!

Sky (12): Sky is a street girl who has recently taken a job amongst a pirate ship (The Reaper's Chalice). She is outgoing and loves to learn new things. She is especially interested in magic, but can carry her own weight without it. Also, she is currently pretending to be a boy in order to seem stronger.

Tanya (24): Tanya is a drunk, sleazy, and intelligent girl. She has no qualms about sleeping with anybody, no matter how long she's known them. She's good at getting information from people and rarely loses an argument. She's also loud and boisterous

Vivian (28): Vivian is an outgoing silk trader. While she has boatloads of money, she uses lots of it to help others. She loves to go to social parties, mostly with her boyfriend, Diarmaid. She is three quarters elven and is beautiful, but modest. She has some holy powers granted to her, which repel demons. Sometimes she'll imbue her magic into the silks she sells, hoping to help travelers.

Zeina (29): There isn't much to say about Zeina other than that she's a calculative and calm type. She is the Coyote in the Soot Wolves, meaning that she's the leader of the Scavenger Wolves. Very few people know her past or how she joined the pack. She collects street children to help her gain money for the pack and pretends to act like their mother, though nobody knows how she really feels about them... or anything. She can sense people's emotions after making eye contact with them and is a ridiculously good thief.

At a Glance:

Name: Zeina, "The Coyote" or "Canis Latrans"

Age: 29

Gender: Female

Species: Human

Height: 5 foot 7

Occupation: Soot Wolf, Head Scavenger Wolf


Not-So-Basic Information:

Looks:
Zeina has long curly moss green hair and lightly tanned skin. She actually has light pink eyes and rosy cheeks. She looks like a fragile beauty, and often plays that act. Those that do not know her might think of her as a weakling, but those that do know her prefer to stay out of her way. As a master thief, she can steal no matter what's she's wearing. Even if she has skin tight clothes on, she manages to find a place to hide things (usually her hair, in this situation).

Picture! ^_^ Yes, I know the quality is bad. Yes, I know she's supposed to be tan. No, I do not care.


Personality:
Zeina fits her title of Coyote perfectly. Cunning and able to adapt, it's impossible to know what she's really thinking. However, she always does her job without questioning. She collects orphans and street kids, offering them a place to stay in exchange for their help in pickpocketing. Although she may pretend to love the kids, some believe (perhaps accurately) that she's just using them. In fact, it probably wouldn't be much of a surprise if she was using everybody—including the pack. Even with all these suspicions, Zeina is a silent character who evaluates everything that goes on and is a master planner, therefor she is a strong person to have in the pack.

Magic/Abilities:
Zeina relies on her own abilities more than anything else. She is good at breaking locks and pickpocketing as well as weaving through crowds and escaping without being noticed. In other words, she's a master of stealing and leaving. Sometimes she may distract somebody so one of her many kids can steal something, or, if a kid gets caught stealing, she may pretend to be their mother and take them back.

She is also able to detect people's moods. Anybody she makes eye contact with is doomed to have their emotions shared with her for the rest of their lives. However, this doesn't mean she knows what she's thinking. It's more like auras that emit from people's bodies. Their are some guessable ones, like blue is sad and red is angry, but their are also more complex colors (like gold) that she is still figuring out. Although this may seem to be almost useless, Zeina has found that it's a superb skill to have when distracting people.

History:
Okay guys, I'm finally putting up her history. Well, a shortened version. If you need to know more for some reason, message me. ^_^

Zeina lived on the streets most of her childhood. Then something traumatic happened (message me for info). She was brought into the Den by Heinin, covered in blood. For the first few years as a Scavenger Wolf, she was quieter than she is now, though she did talk to Heinin. Then, after five years, she got her first 'kids'. Gaze (the current Gold Jackal) and Vent (his helper and friend). This is when she started to open up. She got more money for the pack and started to get to know more people (though they didn't all get to know her). She became the Coyote five years ago, when Heinin stepped down.

Hey guys! I just wanted to let y'all know that I've created a bar in Cerenis (Serendipity). It's run by Heather/Gage, two completely different people in one. While those two will be staying in the bar and aren't going out for some adventures, I would LOVE for you guys to bring people in!

Whether you have a current rping buddy and you guys are in Cerenis or if you want a character to meet somebody new, please stop on by! If you are rping with somebody and don't wanna change threads, I'm totally cool with writing some messages in your current thread until you're out of the bar. Anyway, I think it'll be fun but it's lonely by myself.  :'(

The thread will always be open, so come and go as you please. If you're interested, you can just go on in and write... you don't have to message me or reply to this or anything.

-Zozee  :-*

p.s. here's a link: Heaven in a Bottle

Gage went outside, covered his eyes from the glaring morning sun, and put out the open sign. Glancing around, he noticed the busy streets. Of course it would be busy, it was ten in the morning in the town of Cerenis. He was tempted to back away and just go back into the bar, hoping people would just be interested and come in. But Heather had written him a long letter telling him to do this, and there was no way he was going to get her mad again.

His eyes now used to the sun, Gage moved his hands to make a cup around his mouth. He took a deep breath in, then shouted, "HEAVEN IN A BOTTLE, NOW OPEN. AS A CELEBRATION OF OUR FIRST DAY, WE HAVE MORNING HAPPY HOUR. FROM NOW UNTIL FOUR, EVERY THIRD DRINK IS HALF OFF." His face was now red with embarrassment. This wasn't like him. Looking around and noticing that there were people staring at him, he threw a nervous smile and quickly hustled back into the tavern.

Making his way behind the bar, he looked at the place one last time while it was empty. Even if it was Heather's bar, he still felt proud of it. After all, he did help design it. There was a unlit fireplace directly opposite of him and lots of dark chocolate brown tables in between. The tables were circular and ranging in size, having between two and six wooden chairs surrounding them.  The door was closer to the bar itself, where Gage now was. Under the wooden bar ledge, he knew there were seven tall stools. Behind him, there were an assortment of wines, ales, and rum. At the end of the bar, there was a three feet wide and five feet deep path that led the the unisex restroom. There were also scattered windows and painting along the wall of the entire place.

After he finished absorbing this one last time, Gage closed his eyes and relaxed—then opened them again, prepared for the day to come.

Basic Information:

Name: Heather

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Species: Human

Height: 6 foot 3

Occupation: Bar Owner

IMPORTANT: Heather isn't always Heather. Due to some strange thing (curse... birth defect... illness... you'll never know), Heather changes place with a man named Gage at certain times. There are some triggers, such as strong emotions, but they also change at random. It honestly looks like she's just a girl version of him. However, they're complete opposites in terms of personality. His bio is here: GAGE

Not-So-Basic Information:

Physical Description:
Heather is a typical blond beauty. She has pretty, large, almond shaped eyes that are amber colored. Her hair is silky smooth and is a gorgeous golden color. Her lips are a light pink color that go well with her barely tanned skin. She is quite curvy (and will often show cleavage). She has her ears pierced and a lip piercing. She also wears a necklace with a skull on it. Heather is the one that chooses out the clothing, not Gage. This leads to clothes that fit her well, such as tight tank tops and plaid shirts. She also likes to wear skinny jeans and leather pants.

Personality:
Heather is a forceful *****. I don't swear, but she sure does. For now, I'll *** any swearwords she says and leave it up to you to decipher the meaning.  ;) Anyway, Heather is strong and loves to tease people. She was the one that opened up the bar but did it mostly to watch bar fights. And for booze. Heather has no restraint is saying or acting how she wants to, but some people like that honest side of her. Most don't. Just don't get her mad.

Magic/Abilities:
Heather can also make things levitate... but misuses her magic more often than not. Although she's still levitate things to her customers, she's more likely to trip somebody using a chair and cause a fight amongst innocent people. There is no doubt that if Heather is in control and at the bar, trouble is coming.

Heather also transforms into Gage. As said earlier, this happens at random times, though there are some triggers. When it does happen, smoke covers her body until the transformation is done. When it's done, she's Gage. Or more like Gage is himself and she's stored away in his mind, to watch what happens. (This works the other way too—Gage sees and hears everything that goes on while Heather is in control, but can't affect anything). Also, neither one can sleep when they are in control (but they can sleep in the subconscious, mostly at will). Whichever one has stronger emotions is usually in control, though there are exceptions. For that reason, whoever is sleeping would immediately be thrown into the subconscious. And what if they both have extremely strong emotions? IT'S A SURPRISE!

History:
Heather keeps her history a secret.

Basic Information:

Name: Gage

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Species: Human

Height: 6 foot 3

Occupation: Bartender

IMPORTANT: Gage has a strange case of having two personalities (kind of). In certain situations, Gage become Heather. And I don't mean he does drag. I mean a puff of smoke appears and he literally transforms into a completely different person. Different looks and different personality. However, what they're wearing stays the same, as well as the piercings. This leads to how he dresses (Heather has a more demanding personality, so he lets her dress how she wants... mostly). Here is Heather's bio: HEATHER


Not-So-Basic Information:

Physical Description:
Gage looks like the kind of man that you don't want your daughter with. His short golden hair is naturally spiky and he has a roughly kept stubble. He sports a necklace with a skull on it, a lip piercing, and two pierced ears. His eyes are amber colored. What he wears varies, but almost always looks too tight on him. Some common tops include a muscle shirt, a plaid button down shirt, or no shirt at all. He opts to go shirtless when Heather's choice of shirt is too outrageous. His pants are often leather or skinny jeans.

Personality:
Contrary to his somewhat sleazy looks, Gage is a sweetheart. He'll listen to people pour their hearts out and give them genuine advice. He won't push things and tends to be quiet. Based on personality, he's the kind of guy that would write poems and love songs for the girl (except guy, 'cause he's guy) that he loves.

Magic/Abilities:
Gage doesn't have any strong magic abilities, but he is able to make light things levitate. This is used mostly to save things (like mugs and plates) from falling on the ground. He also uses it to deliver food to people without moving.

There is also the whole transforming into a girl thing. Whenever this happens (and it happens mostly at random), smoke envelops his body until the transformation is done. Heather looks like a female Gage, though the clothes fit her much better. The piercings stay, as well as any injuries that may have been done. When he's not Heather, Heather subsides in his subconscious. She can't communicate with him, but she does see and hear everything that's going on.

Also, neither one can sleep when they are in control (but they can sleep in the subconscious, mostly at will). Whichever one has stronger emotions is usually in control, though there are exceptions. For that reason, whoever is sleeping would immediately be thrown into the subconscious. And what if they both have extremely strong emotions? IT'S A SURPRISE!

History:
Not important. Plus, he's a bartender. He talks to others about their past but leaves his a secret.

What types of plots are you interested in playing?
I love all plots! <3

What types of plots are you not interested in playing?
There aren't any plots I'm not interested in playing.

How often can you reply to any given thread?
This depends. During the summer, I can usually get on at least a couple times a day but definitely no less than once a week. During the school year, I can't make any promises but I should manage to make it on at least once a week. If homework gets too overwhelming, I may take longer.

What is the longest you're willing to wait for a reply to a thread?
If I'm given notice, I'll wait as long as needed. If you randomly disappear on me for over a month, there is a chance I'll use the character in another thread. That being said, I might be able to run two threads with one character.

Are you open to RPing over instant messengers? If so, what's the best way to contact you and what times are you generally available?
I don't use instant messengers. ^_^

Are you open to post volleying?
(Where you and another player post rapidly back and forth in a thread with each other. If so, what's the best way to set that up?)
I'm totally open to post volleying! If you wanna set it up, just message me. :)

Anything else?
I love everybody who threads with me.  :-*


What are you limits regarding powerplay/godmoding?
(For instance, do you mind if someone grabs your character? Picks them up? Punches them?)
Powerplaying doesn't typically bother me too much, and I'll message you if you write something that I don't like. Just stay realistic. If you punch a character who's really strong, they might intercept it. If you punch a weakling, yeah, you can probably assume it hits.

What are your limits in regards to romantic situations?
(What are you comfortable with and not comfortable with? Do you prefer to pre-plot relationships or let them happen organically? Are you open to IC-rejection or love-triangles? Age differences? Etc.)
BRING ROMANCE ON. It doesn't have to be pre-plot—in fact, that can even make it less fun. If I have a character like yours and yours doesn't like them, that's totally fine. I'll write one sided love. Love-triangles can add good drama and age difference will depend on the character and what I believe they'd be okay with.

What are your limits in regards to sex?
(Do you prefer to imply it, fade to black, or play it out? Is there anything you won't write?)
I'll imply, but that's about it. Once we get past normal kissing, let's just stick with leaving the details to imagination.  ;)

What are your limits in regards to pregnancy within plots?
(Are you okay with pregnancy in plots? Miscarriages? Loss?)
Why not? I mean, don't all of a sudden have ur dude say that my gal is pregnant or something, but I'll work with pregnancy and miscarriages and all that stuff. If you want my person to get pregnant, message me. Depending on the person, it could happen.

What are your limits in regards to violent scenes?
(Are you comfortable with violent scenes? Do you prefer to imply it, fade to black, or play it out? Is there anything you won't write?)
I'll write violence. I'd prefer to avoid anything that'll give me nightmares, but honestly, take that as a challenge. If you can write something that I imagine so well I'm afraid to sleep, I will forever respect you. That being said, it probably wouldn't take much.

What are your limits in regards to abuse/rape in plots?
(Are you comfortable with such themes? Do you prefer to avoid them? Do you prefer to imply it, fade to black, or play it out?)
I'm comfortable with rape, but would usually rather avoid it happening. If you think it would spice the thread up in a good way, message me and we can talk about it. If it does happen, however, I'd rather it be implied.

Are you okay with characters being transformed against their will?
(Think vampires and werewolves. Should a player ask before attempting to turn your character?)
You know what, transform my characters as you wish. There are certain characters I may wish to keep human (or whatever they are), but the majority of them should be fine. If I care, I'll either find a logical way to make it so the transformation didn't work or ask you to change it. If you're set on transforming a character of mine before we even start threading, let me know and I'll write someone who I think could be interesting as something special.

What about healing?
(For instance, if someone plays a blind character they may not want people to try and "cure" the character.)
Try to heal all you want, but it may not work. If there is something important about the illness, I may want to keep it.

Anything else?
(Anything else you want to add that other players should know!)
If you haven't been able to tell, just message me if you're unsure about anything!  ;D

Omg guys I actually finally got myself to do a drawing of my fav character, Alycia. She's the same one as my main picture (but visualspice drew that lovely one). Anyway, I have this amazing lack of ability to draw things without a reference, so I used this image of Ariel—http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/33000000/ARIEL-the-little-mermaid-33081334-1920-1200.jpg— and changed a bunch of stuff to make it look more like how I imagined Alycia.

Here she is:


Hope y'all like her!

Hey guys! So me and the awesome visualspice are looking to add something different to our current thread meaning... MORE PEOPLE! We probably only need a person or two, but please respond if you're interested. We're looking for people who are on somewhat often, preferably at least once a week (though every other week could work, too). Anyway, I'm going to go ahead and give a brief description of what has happened so far, though I would recommend at least skimming through what we have written if you are going to join our thread.

First off, the url to the thread is http://www.spiritsoftheearth.net/smf/index.php?topic=13842.msg117357#msg117357.

What has happened in a nutshell:
A pretty ex-slave mermaid, Alycia, saves a very attractive moth fae, Miersck, from drowning. He has a bitter hatred to water and at first to mermaids as well, though he softens up to Alycia as time passes. They get attacked by this strange bear and run into these strange woods before falling off of a cliff and ending up lost with no idea where they are and stuck together. Alycia starts to grow feelings for Miersck, and him possibly for her, and everything is jolly as they start to bond and talk about their past. Turns out he has some kind of curse on him, but Alycia doesn't know that. Anyhow, the continue travelling, get attacked by a possessed squirrel, and find a lake in which Alycia goes swimming as a mermaid and Miersck goes flailing in after slipping and OOPS they accidentally kissed. Then everything is all awkward and Alycia decides to start drawing (she can make herself look like other people, but draws them often so she can remember who she's trying to look like) and Miersck finds a dirt road leading to what very well be a town.

So, point is, we're looking for somebody to meet them in the town. They can be a friend, a rival, another love interest, a freak, an enemy, or whatever you want them to be. Just respond if you're interested please! ^_^

Hey guys! So I stopped writing as much when school started, but now it's about to end and I've have boatloads of time again. :) So whether I've rped with you before and you'd like to revive a thread (or start a new one) or if we've never even said a word but you wanna do something, please let me know!

I'm open to all ideas and people, and will create characters based on what we decide to do. That being said, most of my characters aren't being used right now so we can also work with that. Just no Alycia or Sky XD Umm... I like things with magic and write girls (jsyk). Anyway, let me know if you're interested please! :)
