@Skie - We had a bit of a debate about character histories in the thread for another RP on this site. We came to the conclusion that the histories were only so the creator of the RP could decide whether it fit or not and the player could keep themselves to the concept, so they did not need to be read up about by the other players.
I'm personally refusing to read too much into them, apart from physical descriptions, for the reason of it being far more interesting inside the RP itself!

comrade and everyone else who's wondering - all remaining characters will be played as an NPC by me until someone steps in. that means you can interact with them but nothing too heavy as technically we don't yet know their histories etc.

alright guys, here's the thread! any questions, ask here. applications still open, definitely.
citizens are first up. one of the citizens, you guys can pick, can post first and be the one that crashes into portia. the idea is to somehow get all the citizens to crash into each other at this meeting and establish contact. this can be done by just strangers meeting strangers, or you can establish the fact that a citizen might already know another citizen. after the citizens, i'll post once more to bring in the paroch, then we'll start introducing the order and the watchers!

Is that 'Sorry, kid--' meant to be the point for the intro of another character? If so, I think I might claim pole position, before we have at least three people pushing over a small child and simultaneously apologising!

I'll have my post up sometime during the day. Was going to do it now, but it's 3 AM and I'm worse off than I thought. Not to mention, I can't be bothered getting out of bed to go grab any Classical Greek literature to quote out of!
Sing to me, oh muse . . .

HOPEFULLY THIS IS GOOD, Not really a fan of having a gun user, but no problem 
The Paroch - Soldier Role within Group: The Challenger
Name: Byrin Vespasiano Age: 27 Gender: Male
Appearance 5 ‘ 9” in height. Weighs 160 lbs, has Green eyes and Dark brown hair. He is athletic and muscle toned (about 82% of his body is purely muscle). Permanently marked with black ink, bat wing cross tattoo on his back (same design as shown on his long coat). Has noticeable scars on his legs and torso (front and back), and some on his arms. Wears titanium knuckle-studded, fingerless leather gloves; the long coat is also made of heavy gauged leather with titanium spikes on the shoulders, and the long coat as a hood as well. Boots cover the shin and have a layer of armor over the shin and strapped with buckle fasteners. The clothes and long coat he wears has silver trims. Trinket that he carries is braced with a custom-fitted leather strapping around his left arm, against his skin and underneath his clothing, and the trinket is an emerald jewel. He also has a tribal dragon and yin yang tattoo, full sleeve, on his left arm which the trinket centers on the yin yang on his shoulder. 
Place of Birth: Bronte, Italy Ethnicity: UK Italian
Weapons: His fist-to-fist combat combined with Pistols, effective combat with bullets as an extension of his own body. Holsters 2 MRI Baby Eagles with Silencer attachments, a supply of 6 magazines of standard 15 round 9mm FMJ, and 4 magazines of 30 rounds of .40mm hallow points. Custom pistols allow for quick caliber changes with a button switch, also has a safety and a flip switch for single shot or automatic. A set of 10 throwing knives strapped in two sets of five, one on each leg strapped to the outside of each thigh.
Abilities Demand of Lightning bolts. Single strikes of lightning occur on demand but the power available limits the body to 12 strikes every 3 hours. Single bolts of lightning are able to occur every quarter hour (fifteen minutes) for full power single bolt lightning strikes. Multiples can occur at once but the cool down time using a single “Trinket” for power add up and the power of the bolts lessen for each one used. Max of 4 bolts in a single strike. (Basically 4 strikes every hour, unless more power is attained). 2 bolts > ½ power per > ½ hour cool down 3 bolts > ⅓ power per > ¾ hour cool down 4 bolts > ¼ power per > 1 hour cool down Extreme temperatures are achieved by lightning and, therefore, cause burning sensations to the user. It does not cause physical damage, but physical damage does happen to the victim of the strike. Physical may not be limited to the victim of the strikes receiving extreme burn marks at a focused point where the strikes would directly hit. ((Complicated?? That’s the CHALLENGE))
CHARACTER HISTORY bs SHTUFF :P Byrin Vespasiano was forced to leave his home and family behind, only because of the disease and violence that came about. Experiencing firstly a descending corruption and destruction of the life he once knew. At a young age, the age of 15, seeing his family suffer diseases and a falling down from grace as their faith faded away. Why wasn’t he affected as much as his family, Byrin would wonder as he slowly paced and fled away from home as fires began searing the lands of his former life? The most he had really gained from the sorrowful disease spread was a mild fever lasting 3 days, but the ones that Byrin had grown up with and loved have died in hellfire and plague along with surrounding towns and neighboring countries. It was unfortunate that when he left his home, Bronte, Italy, that he found himself near starvation and nearly entering the Vatican holy land. Upon his arrival the nearing holy land, Byrin found loss of his own faith before his eyes when he collapsed with this mild fever. It had only been a few days without food and, sparingly, sipping a flask of water, and Byrin found himself outside holy land on his stomach suffering starvation, fading faith, and lost love.
He himself lived a calm life far away from more advanced technology that had flourish, yet died much quicker than it bloomed, living day by day with TV news channels and outdoor sports with his friends that he once played with. Hearing those screams of people falling from their faiths and sciences, there was not much a young boy could in a small town besides hearing horrifying news of other countries and people during such darkened times, but what could he do? It was only near death that Byrin found a new calling to rise once more. That day when he found himself outside the Vatican, he awoke coughing cold water that would have drowned his beating heart. He didn’t know how long he had blacked out from only a mild fever, but in the pouring rain and lifting his body on his hands and knees, facing his own reflection in a rippling puddle he found a new leader to follow. Standing on his knees with a dizzy mind, Byrin looked up to a towering man that stood a few inches from the puddle’s edge looking into his eyes. *What do you want from me*, Byrin thought to himself, but the stranger wearing black clothing stood coldly in the rain slowly raising a finger to point at the boy. Confused and dazed as the stranger turned his back that showed off the man silver trimmed clothing and coat with a batwing cross on the back of the long coat, as the turn of his back came about a lightning strike found a path to Byrin.
Was this the new world? Was he dead? Byrin couldn’t figure why he would keep living in such a harsh world eating at his life like a leech on blood. The lightning strike that he found himself being spited by, the bolt seemingly going through him like a blade and electrifying the puddle he knelt in before his new godly figure; Byrin shouted a cry in pain as the electrical charge became a phenomenon before the stranger causing scarring mark on the boy. When the stranger turned around his soul seemed to dispense as the figure was blasted by some supernatural discharge that explosively emitted from Byrin. At that quick moment, he found freedom and peace within himself as the skies had clear warming the chilled lands before him and revealing the remains of stranger that left only his coat and a brilliant green gem or some kind of jeweled trinket. This was definitely a sign that Byrin could follow for the rest of his life, “I will accept your challenge!” Byrin shouted to the gods beyond, taking the coat and jewel and traveling to its origins.
Unexpectedly he found himself in North America after two years of searching and fighting his way across the Atlantic Ocean, to a place in Manhattan, NY. New York of all places to be, and so far away from home it was, but the journey must go on as he presented himself to the streets of New York. It was only a few hours had he wondered this place, that he soon felt strange looks and a presence of being unwanted, which in turn, Byrin found himself by other long, black coats and black clothed people. He had tried to speak out to these people but was quickly wrapped in darkness as he was knocked unconscious by some force. He awoke in fear like a bad nightmare occurred, breathing heavy and discovering his sight, revealing the long coat he carried with him from Italy to some kind of medical ward and himself in scrubs. At this moment, he realized that he finally found his journey’s end and was drafted to be a Paroch, which was soon explained to him by one of the Ascendant’s soldiers. -Time Lapse--- Trained with the Paroch for 10 years and still training further, Byrin found that he was gifted with powers of the gods and he must fulfill their wishes via through the Ascendant. Their words would bring leading notions to bring a new order to the world, and bring back faith in the eyes of followers. Byrin is always up for a challenge and those who would stop the Paroch growth for “New World Order” but be taken down, and their minds must see the greater ways given by the gods. Shall the storm enlighten you and challenge your intervening paths to see with your blind eyes. Byrin is all about a good challenge, but will do what he can to delay or divert an enemy’s path or revert a person’s view to bow down to the word of the ancient gods. It not a monarchy that he follows, but the faith that was presented to him that kept him alive to survive life, and survival is number one priority over most choices, but will protect the Ascendant with what ability he can offer, and then some!!! Where is the Challenge!

Can I request that William be included a little later? Since he lives in the shadows it will be a little more difficult to get him involved with those inside the walls. I can manage getting him there but I'd like to do a little establishing of the outer world if possible.

can i reserve the brooding leader? i'll have the profile up sometime this weekend, hopefully today.
Watcher Role within Group: Brooding leader Name: Gael "Shadowdancer" Trevelyan Age: appears about 21, born in 1000 B.C. Gender: Male appearance picture Gael looks somewhat like your typical Irishman, with one main difference. Instead of the stereotypical bright red hair, his is a deep black. He has deep green eyes. Despite looking Irish, he has a few tattoos of norse decent. He has this on his right arm, this on his left arm, and this stretching across the full length of his back. Place of Birth: Ireland Ethnicity: Irish and Scottish Weapons: While the bow and arrow were traditionally considered to be simply a hunting weapons, Gael had mastered the technique to the point where it made an effective war tool. He took the typical hunting bow, and reinforced it with a recurve, making it even stronger. He also has a shorter saxe knife, as well as partnered with a smaller, more suitable throwing knife, which he could dual wield in touchy situations. Abilities: Controlling Shadows/Darkness Character Bio/History: Born in the coastal regions of Ireland, Gael is viewed very strange in the present time. He's been through a lot, which has caused him to become the person he is now. When he was about 21, he became a Watcher, much against his desire. He spent the first large part of his life running from his duty. The most notable of which is when he fled to the southern Norse regions, where he ran into a berserker town. Having raised himself since he was eight years old, he decided that he was going to spend some time with the Berserkers, learning as much as he could from them. Despite being born in Ireland, much of who he is stems from the Norse culture. For a few years, he ran with the norsemen, learning all he could from them. That was where he gained battle knowledge unlike any other in the world. At that point, he was assigned to a Viking crew. He was going to spend the rest of his life there, but he couldn't. His life of avoiding his duty was coming to an end. He had to face the facts that he was a Watcher, and would never truly be free to live his life as he wished. It is difficult to believe that the young-looking man that is now Gael was once a ruthless berserker. Upon closer examination, however, it makes quite a bit of sense. The once strong warrior was left at a far disadvantage after leaving the life. The crazy, fearless way the warriors faught, without thought or remorse, was caused by a drug that, when eaten, caused them to act as wolves, crazy and bloodthirsty. Without said chemical, Gael became extremely subdued. He sits there, and pays attention to everything, not saying much unless he absolutely has to. Since the lost of that thrill, he has become what some would consider depressed. He longs for the fight he can never have. Despite being born an Irishman, he holds the same beliefs as those of any norseman, in many ways. Without the fight, he feels extremely inadequate. Living forever means little to him. He's generally depressed, and doesn't talk much. There is quite a bit more to his past, but he never talks about it.

I'll get up a post Sunday since I have a child's b-day party to go to tomorrow and I'm not exactly sure when I'm getting home... :] Hopefully, by then, my Sweetheart's D-bag will have popped up.

Sorry, my bad about posting the character sheet in the IC thread. Didn't notice the IC thread was open instead of this one. Ughhhh sorry! I don't know how to delete a post, I don't think I can delete my own posts. But here's my character sheet again.
Julien Duchamps Name Julien Duchamps
Age 31
Gender Male
Place of Birth Near the Pyrenees, France
Ethnicity Gaelic
Appearance [imgurl=www.google.com]http://www.stormmodels.com/resource/145270.342938.itemlarge.Trent_Ford.jpg[/imgurl] Julien Duchamps, of dark hair and fair skin, was born in the villages near the Pyrenees. Living a secluded life in farms just north of the mountain ranges, his skin took on the color of wheat but his hair was as dark as ever. His Gaelic ancestry showed only in his tall stature and his blue-gray eyes. He was otherwise a man belonging to all of the world, despite being the total opposite.
Despite being middle-aged, he has retained his dear youth in his eyes and his elegant poise, without a doubt from his control of his form through his mastery of the arts of healing and physical training. He wears a white shirt with sleeves that run to his wrists under a black cloak that hung down to his feet. Underneath is a tight-fitted pair of pants made of a durable and expandable synthetic material that aided him greatly in combat. Wrapped around his waist above the shroud of black is a belt that carried his necessities.
Weapons He carries a javelin made of a carbon fiber reinforced polymer on his back, strapped carefully to his back with dark brown leather bands that he tailored from the hide of a horse. In the same contraption is an M14 rifle, with iron sights and a grenade launcher attachment. The gun is painted in a matte black, offering great camouflage against Julien’s dark robes. He also has two automatically-sheathing hidden blades under his sleeves.
Abilities Julien can control light from his body to a certain degree. He can choose to become completely invisible in the shadows or to emanate a pulsing bright light or an explosive alternative to distract his enemies. However, he can only control the amount of light reflected from his skin and not from his clothes.
Home Monastery Warsaw, Poland
Character Bio/History Winter came to the Pyrenees in a flash and when the first breath of spring rolled over the fields, their crops would not grow. North of the Pyrenees, the French farmers in that year of 2005 were devastated because their only means of living had disappeared. Enter a venerable group of rich aristocrats who offered to buy their land from them for a ridiculously impossible price. They did not have a choice, and most of the farmers gave up their land by the next winter. However the Duchamps stayed on their farm as tenants to these new owners. They saw in the span of one week all the crops miraculously sprout and soon the lands north of the Pyrenees were bountiful again.
It was some sort of witchcraft that Julien could not comprehend. It peaked his curiosity and he began discovering several facts about their new landlords that they had not disclosed to them. In the summer of 2006, crop circles were drawn into the vast cornfields, which gained the attention of media. Julien knew for a fact that it was these people, who bought their land from them, who carved these geometric shapes into the ground in the night. They would also gather in secrecy and in the docile quiet of midnight to light a fire and perform bizarre rituals.
He confronted the landlords one morning. And soon after came a terrible plight upon his family. Penniless as they were, they had been kicked out of the farm into the cold forests of Lourdes. They found shelter in an abandoned cottage in provincial France.
One night, he returned to the farm where they once worked and found these aristocrats at the fields again. He saw a burning fire in the middle of it all, but what was new was the undeniable sound of a woman in pain and terror. He rushed into the fields, although the fire had been swept around by the southern wind and ignited the rest of the plantation. But no one else was screaming apart from this voice in the distance. He persevered through the flames in an attempt to save the person from whom this chilling cry for help came, but he was too late. Only those that would not burn had been left, a few bits of skin and teeth; the woman was mostly ash and dust: it was a fire of an unholy nature.
He returned to their cottage, scared and suffering mild burns on his face, only to find it burning in an infernal red. The sound of wood cracking and disintegrating, the sound of the beams that support the roof wasting away in the flames, the sound of his mother, his father, his brother and his sister in pain, fire searing wounds into flesh and tongues of fire lapping hungrily at these new wounds.
He tried to break into the house, a shoulder ramming into the door with weak hinges, but he found that the door was nailed shut from the outside with three beams across the top, middle and bottom of the doorway. He tried to break through the shutters, only to find that the same had been done to them. He retreated slowly into the darkness of the forest, tears brimming from his eyes, a desperate cry forming in his throat, but his sadness choked him. His burns he didn’t mind, but his family he did. Resigned to his fate and the fate of his family, the thought of a blessed afterlife mended his spirit for now, but his sould will forever be rending. He slept on the soft carpet of grass for seven days, a vigil for a family whose ashes he could not distinguish from those of oak and cedar. On the morning of the eighth day, orphaned and with his wounds showing the first signs of infection, he trudged to the nearest town of Muret and collapsed in front of the local clinic.
He woke up to the first fall of snow in Poland. Somehow, he was taken under the protection of a monastery, and this is where he finds the truth about these murderers. He had also found that his burn wounds had been fully healed and his mind clear. Julien would have wanted revenge but he knew that within those seven days he spent near the grave of his loved ones that they will be happy wherever they were in that moment. He then swore to protect the world from those practitioners of old magick, those heretics that would destroy life. He allied himself with the monastery and began training on the second day of winter in 2006.
I'll try to have that post deleted soon by an admin.
