Name: Tia Cherwood
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Faction: Human

Occupation: Sales Supervisor

Appearance: Beginning with her head, the first noticable feature about Tia is the vibrant coppery hair that frames her heart-shaped face, slipping down into soft waves that are usually partially tied back. Her eyes are of an almond shape, with dark grey eyes and long black lashes. Quite often, she wears a little smokey make up around her eyes.

She is around 5'4", and relatively slender. There is not a massive amount of muscle on her, but she has benefited from lugging heavy boxes around a stockroom, and it is clear she does a lot of running. She is quite pale, with a hint of dark circles under her eyes. There is usually a hint of perfume hanging around her - usually a tester from whatever perfume happens to be at hand from work.

History: Tia's life is.....Pretty uneventful, as lives go. She grew up a single child, moving from her mother's care into foster care for a short time, and then passed to her father and stepmother. Tragically, her father passed away just as she entered her teens, and her stepmother got remarried before kicking Tia out. Tia returned to her mother for a few years before moving in with a guy she'd just started dating. Unfortunately, the relationship turned south very quickly, and she moved into her own flat. She has lived on her own since, and her life is effectively work, eating, sleeping and occasionally drawing or reading if she is not too tired.

Name: Alyson “Aly” Halwell
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Faction: Vampire Prime

Occupation: Waitress

Appearance: Her hair falls to her shoulders, but an undercut under the back of her head helps to keep hair off the back of her neck. It’s a straw blonde, but the ends are dyed a dusty purple shade. The hair has a slight wave to it, with some curls forming occasionally. If she does anything to it, she ties it into a ponytail. She doesn’t like hair in her eyes.

Aly stands at 5’2”, she swears. Though she has a fairly short stature, she has been gifted with an hourglass figure. Weighing in at about 120 lbs, she is quite fit but most of the weight went to her D cup chest and supple hipline. Her skin is a fairly warm light cream color. There are a few freckles scattered across her skin, but no particularly noteworthy marks.

She usually wears oversized sweatshirts when not in uniform. They’re comfy and warm, two traits she prizes in clothing. That said, she usually pairs them with either short shorts or jeans, depending on the weather and where she is planning to go. Grey slip-on sneakers are her go-to shoe choice. Her work uniform is standard waitress attire, I don’t feel like describing it, everyone in the world has seen a waitress before.

History: Though she never lived a particularly privileged life, her mother provided for the two of them and they got by. Her dad had left the picture early on, just a falling-out-of-love situation. She occasionally called and spoke to him on the phone, but she mostly grew up without him.

She was a tireless straight-A, standard overachiever all through school. She planned to go to college (university) eventually, but wanted to save up some money first. At some point, she just got stuck in the routine, and never bothered to go back for a degree.

Other: ~~She have a scythe.~~ I’m lazy. If this isn’t everything you need just lemme know and I’ll get around to it. "NF has great taste in video games" - A loser
I just play FFXIV at this point. DC: Crystal

Name: Melanie Lightfoot
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Faction: Human

Occupation: Book Store Cashier

Appearance: Melanie is an even five foot (don't remind her,) with long curled brown hair that falls about her in an untangled mess. Melanie is pale from years of introversion; the only light that touches her face tends to be thaNF has great taste in video gamest of her computer screen. She is a tad above average weight, but mitigates this by wearing thick, large jumpers (generally Christmas themed regardless of season) and black joggers.

Her eyes are brown, her nails are well chewed. Her eyelashes are surprisingly long, due to Melanie's aversion from every applying any form of makeup, which has protected the lashes from frequent chemical abuse.

History: Melanie was bullied in school for her geeky nature, but working within the bookstore she has become the queen of her domain. Now instead of suppressing her quirky nature she can revel in her vast consumption of pop culture, acting erratic and eccentric to her hearts content.

Name: Miles Grayson.
Age: 24.
Gender: Male.
Faction: Alpha Werewolf, boyo.

Occupation: Small time criminal.

Appearance: Miles has medium length black hair that he slicks back in the morning, allowing it to lose its form over the course of a day and gradually revert back to its standard, messy state, the process coming across as very natural and good looking. He is a conventionally attractive man, to keep things short, and he knows it. Good features, strong jaw, high cheekbones, the works. His eyes are bright blue that, upon close inspection, have a noticeable steel grey tint around the pupils. Around his jaw he has a light shadow of facial hair, kept neatly trimmed, and has a charming smile.

Miles is quite tall, about 6'2" total, and has a medium build with a considerable physique that, while not the biggest or strongest, is definitely a beach body you could be proud of. His lightly tanned skin is marred by a few scars here and there, mostly hidden away under clothes but a couple stay on display, as minor as they are.

A nick on the thumb of his left hand is a reminder of him almost losing the digit to a kitchen knife when he was a child, and a graze on the right side of his forehead is the only indication of a car crash he was in when he was sixteen.

Despite his financial situation, Miles has always had a taste for business casual outfits in day to day life. He likes slightly more formal clothing, and is usually found wearing button ups, dress shirts and the like. For now, he is wearing a rather smart white button down shirt with a black vest over the top, the last button at the bottom left undone. Along with this ensemble is a pair of black chinos, and a pair of black leather shoes. Slightly formal looking.

History: To keep it concise, Miles was born into a loving family, grew up decently well and has a younger sister. Sadly, his parents died in a car crash - that he survived - when he was just 16. He and his sister were forced out of their family home to be I am Inferi.

put into the foster system, which turned out real shitty when they tried to separate the siblings. Miles fought to try and get emancipation and guardianship of his sister, but nobody was having it - thus the pair of them ran away one night, fleeing across the country and hiding out in Ansdale. They found an apartment that Miles worked to pay for, but with money being tight he eventually had to turn to the underbelly of the city to make ends meet.

Thus, Miles has worked with a small group of small-time criminals, mostly performing robberies, for some time now in order to keep him and his sister afloat.

Other: Your rule 3 is bullshit and I hate you for it, but NF has good taste in video games. I am Inferi.

NF has: Chris Beaubop (Contactable as Atlas Curry for bodybuilding or modeling services)
Great: 22
Taste in: Male
Video Games: Human

Occupation: Part-time amateur bodybuilder, street magician, hobbyist DJ (DJ MINEFIELD), former pet manicurist

Appearance: Chris has a muscular 5' 9" body and short, slicked-back dyed-silver hair. With a strong, clean-shaven jawline, intoxicating blue eyes, and perfect teeth, you'd think he came off the set of a movie (though his acting career was short lived). His neck is accented by numerous gold chains which lead down his body to cut abs. His biceps bulge, and his legs leg. I mean, he's skipped a leg day or two, but he still works the legs. He mainly wears striped track pants, white kicks, and an distressed denim jacket open-buttoned and shirtless anytime it could be deemed appropriate, and even when it's not.

History: Chris was a high school dropout at age 16. Since then, he's been living in cheap apartments with awful roommates doing whatever bogus job will get him some rent money that week. He knows a couple shady guys but hasn't yet been dragged into that dark world. Most of his free time is at the gym, making those gains.

Name: Descartes Blacke
Age: 35
Gender: Male
Faction: Templar Grandmaster

Occupation: CEO of a modest real estate company.

Appearance: Descartes is 6’1 and well-muscled. He clearly works out, but is by no means a bodybuilder. He has well-kept, dark brown hair with a bit of gray starting to creep in on the sides. He has pointed features with a strong brow line, and he maintains a stoic look that can be either terrifying or charming depending on the gleam in his hazel eyes. His attire is never anything less than business casual.

History: Descartes was always business-inclined, and after years of shady and not-so-shady dealings, he has come to lead a growing real estate company. He has connections to a lot of questionable figures, and is known to moonlight as a gambler. Otherwise he’s considered somewhat eccentric, and much else is not known about his personal life or childhood.

Other: NF always gets play of the game.

Miles Grayson

You are lying in a forest clearing, staring up at a full moon. Your body is paralyzed. You cannot move.

Heavy footsteps accompanied by equally heavy breathing can be heard nearby. You cannot turn your head to look, but you are certain it must be some sort of large animal.

“You are weak,”

a deep gravelly voice growls. Then the creature comes into view. A wolf. With black fur and glowing red eyes, it stands over you, brings its nose down to your chest, and sniffs.

“You are prey,”

the voice continues, and you realize the sound is coming from the wolf itself - though its mouth does not move.

“But you have the potential to be something more.”

The beast lifts its head, and stares you in the eye.

“I am here to give you a gift. I offer you power. You shall walk as a wolf among sheep. None shall match your strength. You will spread this gift, and grow a pack. There are those who will seek to challenge your dominance, or to hunt you to extinction, but you will hunt them, and you will kill them. Otherwise, you will die.”

Its eyes seem to peer into your very soul.

“You cannot refuse.”

Then, the wolf sinks its teeth into your shoulder, biting painfully into your flesh as a wave of agony courses through your arm. Then it withdraws its teeth, sending a fresh wave of pain as blood begins to flow free. With that, the great beast turns, and begans to walk away.

“Your world has grown soft. Weak. Only the strong deserve to thrive.”

Then you wake up. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Alyson Halwell

You are suspended in darkness. Floating in a dark void. Drifting in a black ocean. You cannot move. It is cold, but your muscles can’t even bring themselves to shiver.

You drift like this for a long time. It could be minutes, or hours. It is impossible to tell. You cannot form words to speak.

Then, a pair of glowing red dots begins to approach. As they get nearer, you come to realize that they are eyes. They lock with yours, and you cannot avert your gaze. They should be terrifying, but instead they feel almost hypnotic.

“Hmm…”

a woman says in a low voice, as the unblinking eyes begin to look you up and down, scrutinizing you.

Finally, the eyes look back at yours.

“You are nobody,”

she accuses.

“Unremarkable. Expendable. But you can be something more. A great change is coming to your world. As with all change, there are those who suffer, and those who profit.”

The eyes come closer.

“I offer you the chance to profit.”

“I will give you power. Mortals will hang on your every word, and you need not fear death. You shall do things you never thought were possible. You will use this power to your own ends. To advance in status. Share it with others, who shall become your servants and soldiers. Bring about a new world order, with you at its head.”

The eyes drift off to the side, and when the voice speaks up again, you realize she is behind you; whispering directly into your ear.

“In return, you will carry out my ends as well. You are not the only one being given a gift. There are others who have been given gifts of a different nature. Gifts which have made them primitive, arrogant, or repulsive. There is no room in this new world for such distasteful creatures. So, you will kill them.”

You can sense her pulling away.

“Do you accept?”
