User: ParadoxInABox
Name: Rajah
Race: Baku
Age: 100 years
Bio: Rajah's birth set up the rest of her life for her. She was not her father's child. Instead, Rajah was born out of sin after her mother had an affair with a stranger. It was a scandalous moment when Rajah's small head was revealed from her mother's womb with red hair, a feature that no one from either family had. Her family was of a somewhat high status and her mother was forced to give up the child to an orphanage, stating that her "child was lost in a miscarriage".

Rajah grew up in this orphanage, learning to loathe the world she lived in as she discovered her supernatural powers. She slid in and out of the minds of the other hopeful children, and seeing how they dreamed of families, blessed them by taking it all away. They didn't need to dream of something that would never happen. It was better for them never to hope for foolish things.

In adolescence, Rajah realized she could do so much more with her dream-walking than just taking away childish wishes. She could take the knowledge that was unprotected within people's dreams and use it to her advantage. By sneaking in and stealing people's dreams and nightmares, Rajah learned of their wants, fears, and what they possessed that she could sell. She used these vulnerable dreams as a way of manipulation, by promising them all they dreamed of in exchange for a small fee. She became the perfect con-artist. As well, the mind seemed to be the safe to all the treasures one held, and once inside? Rajah could sneak into homes and steal precious items from safes, hidden rooms and boxes easily.

People finally caught wind of the strange happenings, of people losing their ability to dream and came to fear the "devourer" as they called Rajah, though she was never found out. In fact, for almost a hundred years, Rajah continued her crimes almost unpunished until she made one mistake and was caught in the act of trying to steal from one of the assistants of the Queen herself.
Weapons: Rajah carries a three ring punch dagger, for lethal and precise stabs to vital organs, as well a belt of sharp, medium sized poisoned daggers that cause the victim to hallucinate. As people can pretty much tell: she loves, and is skilled with, daggers.
Magic: Rajah can slip into people's minds while they are unconscious and devour their dreams and nightmares in the form of a tiger. This gives her insight into their deepest desires and she uses this to manipulate as well as steal, since many secrets come out when others sleep. She can do this while asleep or mediating.
Quirks: Acts much like a cat; she hates water, loves milk and things with bells.
Reason for Going: Upon sentencing, Rajah was given two choices: Help in the quest to save the queen, or be executed. Her choice was quite clear...

User: Bad Wolf!
Name: Ephirel
Race: Demon
Age: 53
Bio: Ephirel is quite young where demons are concerned, but he is of a different breed than your standard hellion. For most of his life, he was contracted to serve a priestess in a very occult-driven village. He was treated as a god, and his ego certainly flared up quite a bit during that time. But he was naive for a demon and really should have done more research into the rituals the villages performed, particularly with those they hailed as being gods.

Ephirel certainly wasn't the first demon to have been contracted by one of the village priestesses, but he would be the last. After being forced to go through with a ritual that resulted in his eyes being gouged out, he went on a rampage and killed everyone in the village, including the priestess he had been serving. Unfortunately, breaking the terms of the contract resulted in him being unable to consume her soul, so that entire episode of his life was hardly worth it. He was now permanently blind, and he didn't even get a soul to eat in order to even somewhat compensate for that.

Since that incident, he's been wandering aimlessly, trying to figure out how to continue with his life. Though his other senses have compensated for the loss of his eyes, he is still a great deal weaker than he had been before. Thinking about that village is enough to make him fly into another murderous rage, and he's a bit of a loose cannon in that regard.
Weapons: Anything he can get his hands on, but he usually just uses hand-to-hand combat. Considering that he needs to use his sense of touch primarily in a fight.
Magic: Ephirel can do some minor little tricks using his demonic abilities. For instance, making flowers bloom before their time, making himself heavier or lighter, or walking on water. Minor things like that. But being a demon, he is far faster, more agile, more durable, and stronger than a human.
Quirks: Ephirel is quite touchy-feely, unsurprisingly. Of all of his senses, his sense of touch is most acute. And he will touch anything.
Reason for Going: Ephirel really doesn't have anything better to do with his life. Honestly, he's hoping to get himself killed on this little journey. But if he lives, then that's fine too. At least he'll be hailed as a hero. Maybe then he'll stop feeling sorry for himself.
Appearance:
Ephirel

Colors/Notes: Black hair instead of white. Black fingernails. Darkly-colored clothing, and it's a bit fancier than depicted in the picture. He likes to dress well. And sadly he often requires help with that... As for the blindfold, he takes it off if he gets into a fight. Terror is a weapon that he uses well, and nothing is scarier than a demon with two empty eye sockets that seem to have a blood-colored glow from within.

In addition to his human form, he has a more demonic form that includes fangs, clawed fingernails, gray-ish skin, and a creepy black aura. When his temper gets out of control, his shadow shifts so it looks like dark fire. that especially happens when he is in his demonic form. His hair also grows longer in that form, though it remains black.

Wolf - Excellent. I like it a lot.

Hrm, suggestion? In mah story, one of the characters (human polymorphed into a spectral beast) went in hopes of stealing the tear after they got it and using it on himself to turn back into a human. Perhaps Ephriel might have similar intents? A white tear certainly could heal his eyes, if anything could...

Okay, someone help me out. The imgs hate me here. I have Zee's pic on both photobucket and DA...how do I get it on here?

User: Third Time

Name: Sevink, aka Smiling Jack
Race: Wendigo (formerly human)
Age: 23 (he thinks)

Bio:
According to the judge in Sevink's recent trial, he was born without a soul. It would certainly explain much about his life.

His earliest memories are of surviving alone on the city streets. He remembers no parents to watch over him. He remembers no friends, only other street orphans competing for food. He does remember the blood. Sevink's childhood was one of fighting for scraps, and Sevink fought to kill. Somewhere along the way, Sevink resorted to cannibalism to survive. During one of cold winters, starvation a constant companion, the child Sevink simply decided that his own survival was worth any price.

As Sevink grew older, he took to thievery. Although he never joined the Thieves' Guild and never took jobs like most professional thieves, he made a decent living. Despite his new income, he never left behind his darker habits. His handiwork, performed in dark alleys and seedy brothels, was dubbed the work of "Smiling Jack," thus named by a terrified populace for the disturbing bitemarks left in the corpses found by the city Watch.

Finally captured a few weeks ago, he was was sentenced to hang by the neck until dead. When the hangman pulled the level, the crowd expected a snap and a quick death. What they saw instead was a body dangling from a noose, laughing at them. Three days he hung by the neck, laughing and swearing at all within earshot.

At some point in the past years, Sevink's ceased to be human, and became a wendigo, a creature of cannibalism and rage, nearly unkillable by normal means. While he was hanging, the Queen was poisoned. When the plan to send people to recover the cure for her, someone decided that an unkillable monster would be a perfect choice for the mission. He was offered a pardon if he succeeds, provided he does not lapse back into his old ways, or an excecution by burning if he refused.

Weapons:
Sevink collects blades of all kinds, for different jobs. Stilettos for armored enemies, long daggers for fat victims, flensing knives for skinning a kill, scalpels for removing choice bits of meat, machetes for dangerous victims, and others that he has created himself. He carries them rolled up in a long piece of black leather, lined with felt, and simply buckles the ones he thinks he will need to his belt.

Magic:
As a wendigo, Sevink has little actual magic. However, he becomes harder and harder to kill, the more intellegent creatures he consumes. An attacker would basically have to "kill" him once for every victim. At his current point, nothing short of being reduced to ash or hacked to bits repeatedly would do the trick. He likes to think of it as "Saving up lives. Like a cat, but I can take other people's too." In addition, wendigos are naturally tough, strong, and fast, but no more than an extraordinarily fit human. Senses as sharp as any predator and a racial aptitude for climbing and jumping allow wendigos to stalk their prey, and their shark-like teeth usually make short work of their victims once they pounce.

Quirks:
Morbidly afraid of starving. Uncomfortable in direct sunlight.

Reason for Going:
Sevink was given the choice of being burned at the stake or going. His well developed sense of self-preservation led him to go. He was not counting on the magical measures taken to ensure that he saw the mission through, however.

Appearance:
Pale skin and sunken eyes give Sevink an unhealthy appearance. His hair, white since he turned, is usually worn back, out of his eyes. It's thin on the sides, and gives him an oddly streamlined look. he favors white and black clothes, and sees anything beyond these stark contrasts as frivolous.

Oh, hey! My picture has started working. It wasn't before, when I first posted. It was like "posted picture" instead of showing the actual picture.

Freaking...thing...that hates me...

Should I post NPCs? There will probably be at least six major NPCs to look out for...since I will PROBABLY use rivals against us.

Time - Excellent. Our group is pretty epic, if I do say so. I think that was everyone, wasn't it?

Besides, I like a group of 5 far more for this roleplay. And also it sounds as though your character would NOT be a criminal and while criminal characters are cool and all...I think Zeeszrom is going to have a heart attack XD
