Name: Peregrine Finlay
Arcanum: Justice.
Gender Identity: Androgynous (uses male pronouns).
Age of Appearance: Mid-twenties.
Weapon of Choice: Steel strings, which he animates with magick. Even though he has since retired from combat, he is (or was) a master of this unconventional weapon.
Skill/Ability: Peregrine has the uncanny ability to separate truth from lies in a person. Like an instinct, he knows when someone is being dishonest. The one hangup is that, if the person in question doesn't know what he's saying is false, it won't present itself as false in Peregrine's mind. The lie must be knowingly told in order for him to pick it out.
Personality: Ever true to Justice, the trump known as Peregrine Finlay does his best to be constantly impartial and logical. He doesn't allow his emotions or personal opinions to color his decisions, seeing such things to be a bother at best. He has an air of coldness about him, which does little to endear him to his comrades, but his clearheadedness and lack of bias make him very easy to trust with important matters. What he lacks in humanistic traits, he makes up for in the fact that he is most likely the most responsible of all of them. Of course, Peregrine's detachment makes it difficult for him to understand matters of the heart, and he is extremely naïve when it comes to emotional dilemmas -- especially his own.
Physical Description: Although young in appearance, Peregrine holds himself with the severity of a person who has seen a great deal. His angular features seem fixed in a passive but knowing expression, and his eyes -- pale, stony grey -- are sharply observant, reminiscent of the bird from which he derives his name. Ash-blond hair, straight as a pin and elbow-long, sometimes frames his face, though it is normally pulled away in a tight, clean ponytail. In accompaniment of these things, Peregrine nearly always dresses in a formal manner; he is rarely seen, at the very least, without a necktie, and would never dream of wearing such articles as jeans or t-shirts. He holds himself always with dignity, as though he needs to make up for the fact that he requires the use of a wheelchair.
Extra Information: As mentioned earlier, Peregrine is wheelchair-bound: a great many years ago (a century or two, at least), he was separated from his team and cornered by a pack of ghasts. Out of sheer desperation, he engaged the daemons in single combat. He didn't stand a chance against them, and they soon overpowered him, resulting in a spinal injury that paralyzed him from the waist down.

Name: Whatever name he had he discarded long ago. He goes by the name of "Dark" now.
Arcanum: Death
Gender Identity: Male
Age of Appearance: Late twenties, roughly. Though if you look at his right profile, it's impossible to tell due to a mask. And when the mask isn't there, it's still impossible to tell. Because of the horrendous scarring.
Weapon of Choice: Dark makes wonderful use of a spiked, whip-like chain in combat.
Skill/Ability: Dark is instinctively drawn toward places and people which are about to experience a drastic change. That includes when people are on the verge of death, so he tends to be a haunting figure around people who are about to die. Doesn't exactly make the average person warm up to him, and several superstitions hail him as a sign of doom. Even though he's also drawn to people about to go through a good chance. Like getting married or having a kid... He often doesn't know what change is coming for the person or place he's drawn to, but he's most heavily drawn to death. Go figure.
Personality: Dark's personality is constantly changing. He cycles through many different personas each day, and none of them are by his choice. External stimuli usually are the cause of the change, and it's not uncommon for him to feel resentful and depressed if he was forced out of a personality that he'd been enjoying. His unpredictability makes him a bit dangerous to his allies, but he has thus far managed to avoid causing his allies serious harm because of it.
Physical Description: Dark is above-average height and is below-average weight. In fact, he's a bit of a stick in build. He usually wears dark clothing, often involving a hooded cloak. He's often been jokingly called the Grim Reaper, going off the outfit he prefers to wear. Under the cloak he wears form-fitting clothing, including a long-sleeve shirt, gloves, long pants, and boots. All black. Though a recent addition to his outfit was a black mask that covers the majority of his face. It mostly covers the right side of his face, which is horribly burned and scarred under the mask from an accident while fighting daemons a few years back. The mask lacks an eyehole for his right eye... because he doesn't have one. He lost it in that accident. Though he left side of his face is perfectly fine and quite handsome, actually. He's a bit on the pale side, but his eye is a rather pretty gray and he has chin-length black hair which has a habit of getting in his eye.
Extra Information: Nothing comes to mind at present.


Whew. He's similar to his original version, but I decided to have a bit more fun with him. :)

Accepted, oh powerful GM?

Name: Geðveiki Lopt
Arcanum: The Fool
Gender Identity: Androgynous
Age of Appearance: twelve
Weapon of Choice: A slightly bent baseball bat, as well as what ever the marbles turn into.
Skill/Ability: The Fool is numbered Zero though the Arcanum. The starting point from which progression is made. As such, Geðveiki is able to 'progress' to the stages of others, and mimic each of their abilities. In oder for him to 'progress' He must have made physical contact with the person in question within the past hour. Geðveiki is then able to duplicate the individual's Abilities. There is a drawback however to the progression. It causes great strain on the fool in the area of which the ability effects him, physical or mental.
Personality: Geðveiki has a jovial and carefree nature about them. It is very rare for them to ever take anything seriously, and on the off chance that such a thing occur it would likely on last but for a moment or two. Geðveiki is a plethora of potential which seems to be forever unused due to their whimsical nature, often to the frustration of those who rely on them. Despite their jovial nature however, Geðveiki comes off as sadistic and twisted from time to time. This is not spawned so much by malicious intent as it is simply a result of their inability to differentiate what is morally sound and unsound in the eyes of others. For some odd reason, many people have a problem pronouncing the name Geðveiki, so usually, when the fool is not being referred to by title, Lopt is used rather than the first name.
Physical Description: Lopt appears as a deceptively small child with blond hair which is kept cut just above their shoulders. The style in which Lopt keeps it however is ever changing, often along with the color. A mixture of masculine and feminine traits makes it impossible to judge the fools gender. Standing at only the hight of 137cm and of a somewhat slim build, Lopt has electric blue eyes and a wide mouth which seems deceptively small when their lips are closed. The Fool dresses in colorful, often times clashing cloths and is known to carry around random objects of seemingly no importance. A trade mark item however is that Lopt always has a bag of marbles.
Extra Information: Lopt often keeps a live snake with them (usually stashed away in odd places) because they find it a rather ironic symbolism due to their name.

@Bad Wolf!
Of course.

@Jester
Errr...your grammar is very off. Even as a singular pronoun, you don't use "they" with "is". And you completely neglected to use the proper form of "they" ("they're", "them", etc.) so I can't accept this. Also, you didn't use the correct form. I changed it, as you can see by Wolf's and my profiles.

alright, sorry about that, most of the problem was that I had first typed it up and had forgotten that I was making an androgynous character so I had written it up as masculine and when I remembered I was lazy and (Ctrl+f)ed the various mess ups and crossed them over to They or them without properly checking the sentences they where going into. ;>.>

Uhmmm...sorry, but no. That just doesn't suit the Moon (or any of the arcana) at all, and your abbreviations give the impression that you're not putting very much effort into this. Not to mention, you misspelled "scythe" multiple times. So, I apologize, but I can't accept this profile.

Name: Shaten Fallow
Arcanum: The Devil
Gender Identity: Androgynous refers to himself as a male but most people can not tell the difference.
Age of Appearance: Appears to be in his early thirties. There really is no defining feature to tell his exact age.
Weapon of Choice: Katana
Skill/Ability: People around him tend to become eaily angered. He is drawn to anger and feeds off of it.
Personality: Shaten is quiet and untrusting, with a general dislike of people. He tends to have an angered look on his face from being in contact with so many people. While he keeps his emotions to himself, he often pressures others to show theirs. He is often irritable and confrontational due to the anger he fosters.
Physical Description: Shaten is tall, he stands roughly at 6'5''. He is heavily muscled due to long nights working out. His hair is dark red and kept short in the front with a long pony tail in the back. He wears contacts to conceal his true eye color, the contacts are a light silver with blue flecks in them. He tends to wear sun glasses to avert the suns light from his eyes.
Extra Information: The anger he fosters come from the neglect from the other Immortals. In the very beginning they did not trust often saying he was to angry or pessimistic. He longs to strike back at the others, but for now he holds his tongue.

Sorry, but your character's ability kind of sounds godmod-ish. Could you please turn it down some? (Like, omitting the whole "Often causing a city to fall into a state of anarchy." thing.) Also, you might want to include reasons why he's so angry and bear in mind the fact that anger is not the only trait of the Devil. Spellcheck/grammarcheck would help also.

@Fallen
I don't think that "watching a movie" is a very good excuse for a character that's out-and-out unfitting for a roleplay. So, no, I'm sorry.

That is not acceptable. I'm sorry, but that is entirely contrary to the nature of many of the arcana. Peregrine most certainly would not neglect anyone, and I'm sure the others would not either. That's very much like putting words in the other characters' mouths, which is unfair to them.

Name: Ailish Marie Gallagher

Arcanum: Temperance

Gender Identity: Female

Age of Appearance: 26

Weapon of Choice: A bow and arrow

Skill/Ability: Aura Manipulation: Ailish is able to see the aura's of others and, with enough concentration, can manipulate it, therefore the individuals mood, to suit her needs in a particular situation. However, if she tries this too often or for too long, the effects can be negative to both her and the other person involved, as it is usually an involuntary change.

Personality: Usually a rather patient and level-headed person, Ailish is quite easy to get along with. She can be rather quiet, at times, but she will talk if she has something to say within any particular discussion. Since she prefers to take the time to think through a situation, she hates being hurried or being forced to jump into something ahead of time. Because she takes the time to consider all sides to a story, she usually gives out pretty good advice when asked.

Her temper rarely ever flares up because it takes a great deal of effort to get under her skin. If pushed far enough and long enough, however, her temper is something to be feared as she'll take it out on the perpetrator without holding back. This, too, can backfire as she may end up using her power in such a way, or say something, that she'll regret it later.

Physical Appearance: Ailish stands at an average 5ft 6in in height and is right around 130lbs. She has a fair complexion, though her cheeks are dotted with just a few freckles. Her eyes, which usually reflect her current mood, are an emerald green and her curly, bright red hair reaches a few inches just past her shoulders.

Her outfit consists of a long, sleeveless white dress that goes past her feet. The top of it is corset-like and hugs her torso snugly. The bottom flares out gradually from her waist to her feet. She wears a pair of white, fingerless gloves that have one loop that goes around her middle fingers before covering everything from her palms to the middle of her upper arms.

She wears a Celtic cross pendant around her neck which hangs on a simple silver chain.

Extra Information: Between her natural intuitiveness and her aura reading, Ailish could easily pass for an empath. Though she doesn't technically feel what others do, it's not hard for her to guess.

No, you cannot "have" them. You need to fill out a profile just like everyone else.

@Pinxie:
Oooh, very nice! But you'll pardon me if I say that Ailish sounds more in line with Temperance than the High Priestess, from what you've written, but I guess she could easily go either way.
