Your main characters will have connections, enemies, and other folks they encounter in their day-to-day lives. Some of these people will play important roles of their own, but they are essentially supporting cast. "Official" NPCs are created by myself, the site admin, and other staff. "Personal" NPCs can be created by any player. The creator of the NPC generally has control over that specific NPC, but NPCs can be created for public use. Please specify which in your application.

Fill out the code below and post into a new reply in this thread. This will serve as a directory for NPCs. A list will be compiled of all NPCs in alphabetical order for easy reference.

Code:

Character Name: Ridley Vulpes
Species: Were-fox (Vulpine Shifter)
Age: 34
Gender/Orientation: Male/homosexual
Occupation: Pharmacist of the Fox Apothecary
Appearance: 5'7" tall, slim, face a bit too pointed and fox-like to be attractive, violet eyes, lank ginger hair that badly needs a trim, clean-shaven or scruffy mustache/goatee combination, sallow complexion, wears a lot of vests and nice slacks, has a trace of a London accent, occasionally seen smoking outside the building.
Personality: Cowardly and conniving, Ridley projects an obsequious air to his customers, though he always seems to have his own agenda. He's highly intelligent and calculating, and tends to look down his nose at anyone he deems too stupid to bother with.
Connections: ESPers private contractor, his Apothecary is located on the ground floor between the gift shop and cafe. By all appearances, it is a perfectly ordinary pharmacy.
Player/Creator: Maria/Director
Public or Personal Use: I can play him upon request if you need a lot of dialogue, but for minor use/cameo appearances he is available to the public.

Player/Creator: Maria/Director

"One of these days, he's going to get slapped with a sexual harassment suit."

"I think he's WEARING the sexual harassment suit."


Character Name: Leopold Conway
Species: Half-Sidhe
Age: 32
Gender/Orientation: Male, omni-"Captain Jack Harkness"-sexual
Occupation: Supervisor of Team Rock as well as the head of the Public Relations department
Appearance: This man is a life-ruiner. Just look at him. Designer stubble, fashionably shaggy/wavy blond hair, glittering steel-blue eyes, and a manner of attire that puts the 'casual' in 'business casual'.
Personality: An utter charmer with the ability to smooth-talk his way out of any situation, Leo Conway is the perfect person to head up the ESPers public relations team. He's very hands-on about his work-- sometimes a little TOO hands-on, if you know what I mean. Despite (and sometimes because of) his flirtatious nature, he's incredibly effective at his job.
Connections: Thorn's boss, flirts with everyone else, Gabe fucking hates his guts because the guy can't seem to take a 'no' for an answer.
Player/Creator: Maria/Director
Public or Personal Use: Oh my god go nuts I don't care. XD

Character Name: Kenji Morimatsu
Species: Corvid Shifter (were-raven)
Age: 26
Gender/Orientation: Male, Asexual
Occupation: Silver Hunter
Appearance: A slim, average-to-tall Japanese man with feathery black hair and dark eyes. Often wears a stoic expression and black clothing.
Personality: Quiet and intelligent, Kenji only speaks when he has something important to say. As an Enforcer, he tends to take down rogues with ranged attacks (often from the air or high vantage points), but he's an accomplished hand-to-hand fighter as well. His emotional state is inscrutable, and he rarely has strong facial expressions.
Unbeknownst to most, he has a dissociative disorder (better known as Split Personality) that causes him to revert to an alternate persona known as "Jiken" when he is under an unusual amount of stress. Jiken is cruel and violent, and will often take over when Kenji is hurt on the job.
Connections: Other Hunters, mostly, though he keeps to himself and does not have many friends.

Character Name: Kel Winston
Species: Human ESPer, minor clairvoyant (has something akin to danger sense, which is handy in her line of work)
Age: 27
Gender/Orientation: Female, Lesbian
Occupation: Gold Hunter
Appearance: Tall and athletic, with a basketball player's strong yet lean build. She keeps her long hair done up in tight braids, usually cornrows, and pulled back out of the way.
Personality: Tough and serious, but she knows how to kick back and have a good time when she's not on the clock.
Connections: Other Hunters, mostly. Her twin sister, Kethry (a registered necromancer).
Player/Creator: Director
Public or Personal Use: Public



Character Name: Cindy Myers
Species: Succubus
Age: 22 (nobody knows her real age, and she keeps it that way)
Gender/Orientation: Female, pansexual (in other words, not a picky eater)
Occupation: Front Lobby Secretary (You have to get past her to even get on the elevators.)
Appearance: Cindy has glossy black hair streaked with fiery red, caught up in a surprisingly tidy bun when she's working. Her clothing is technically businesslike, though she favors short skirts and low-cut blouses as well as ridiculously high heels. She's short, curvy, and has that perfectly sun-bronzed skin that can only come from genetics. Her eyes are a luminous green.
Personality: Look, don't judge her. She's a reformed succubus. Sure, she's an incorrigible flirt, but a girl's still gotta eat, right? She's very careful, however, and hasn't drained anyone dry in centuries. Cindy is actually terrifyingly effective at her job, and nobody has ever gotten past her if she didn't let them.
Connections: Everyone who works at ESPers knows her, and she knows everyone at ESPers. She never takes a day off, so everyone has seen her at some point when entering or leaving the building, since she works nearly around the clock. Not many people have ever seen her leave her post-- but maybe she has a stunt double?

______________________________________

Character Name: Paul
Species: Unicorn
Age: 40 (unicorns think age is funny since they're eternal, and don't actually know how old they are, usually)
Gender/Orientation: Male, flexible
Occupation: Accountant
Appearance: Paul looks like a perfectly ordinary, relatively handsome, middle-aged white man, with surprisingly thick white hair and a pleasant smile. He has pale blue eyes and soft hands. He wears a light gray suit and ties with cartoon characters on them.
Personality: Paul is the sort of guy who will talk about the weather and your grandmother's funeral in the same bland, friendly tone. He never seems to get angry or annoyed, or any other emotion that would require changing the mild, infuriatingly calm smile on his face. As the man in charge of ESPers' budgets and accounts, everyone-- EVERYONE-- hates him.
Connections: Everyone in ESPers (who fucking hate that guy), and his brother, Frank
Player/Creator: Director
Public or Personal Use: Public, by all means XD

______________________________________

Character Name: Frank
Species: Unicorn
Age: 40
Gender/Orientation: Male, flexible
Occupation: Payroll accountant
Appearance: Looks nearly identical to his brother, Paul, but wears a dark blue suit and very ordinary, boring ties instead. Also wears wire-rimmed glasses to further distinguish himself from his brother, for understandable reasons.
Personality: Nobody is really sure why Frank or his brother decided to go into the most mind-numbingly boring careers available at ESPers. Most people just shrug and say, "Unicorns." As if that explains everything. And it sort of does. Frank is a curmudgeonly, taciturn sort where his brother is eternally smiling like a wax mannequin. Oddly enough, everyone kind of likes Frank. He's good at his job, and as grumpy as he is, he always gets the paychecks out on time.
Connections: Everyone at ESPers, and his brother, Paul.

Character Name: Denise Masters (a.k.a Dymasynax)
Species: Dragon
Age: Looks late-20's, early 30's, but is actually several centuries old.
Gender/Orientation: Female and Not Interested...unless it's to her advantage
Occupation: Co-ambassador of Phantasia
Appearance: In human form, Denise stands at a statuesque 5'11", with a willowy 'supermodel' build. She's conventionally attractive, with long, shimmering, dark auburn hair that gleams like copper dipped in blood. Her skin is a medium shade of brown, creamy smooth as milk chocolate. Her eyes are a vivid emerald green, flecked with gold and violet upon closer inspection. She wears expensive designer women's business attire in jewel tones that look amazing on her, especially green.

In dragon form, her scales are very nearly the same color as her human disguise's hair, with that same copper-and-blood sheen. Her eyes are the same color, though larger and the gold and violet flecks are more pronounced and jewel-like. She is one of the feathered dragons, more reminiscent of the Quetzalcoatl branch of the family, with a long, sinuous body and relatively short legs.

Personality: Denise is very good at her job, but she knows when to rely on the expertise and talents of others. She honestly has the best interests of her homeland at heart, and wishes to keep peace between the worlds because that's the most convenient way to have things. She can be manipulative, coy, and a little underhanded, but in her mind the ends justify the means. Her sense of humor is subtle and rarely appreciated outside of a select few.

Connections: Talis Flitter (her co-ambassador), Arthur Paar, the other ambassadors

Character Name: Lex
Species: Androsphynx
Age: Looks like a young 20-something in human form, though he suspects his birth was somewhere around the dawn of human civilization (which is a bit further back than even today's humans are aware).
Gender/Orientation: Male, heterosexual
Occupation: Archivist
Appearance: Lex in his human form has floppy, wavy, sandy-brown hair, a sort of gawky, lanky build, brown eyes, and olive skin. He wears a lot of baggy clothing, usually jeans and t-shirts with video game or internet meme references on them.

In his true form, he is about the size of a bull, with the body of a lion and a mostly human-ish head. He has no wings, as he is a male sphynx. His paws are still surprisingly dextrous in this form, and he often doesn't bother to take on human form unless he has to leave his precious archives.

Personality: Lex is the biggest nerd ever. Not only does he guard the ESPers archives with his life, he genuinely cares for every book, scroll, tablet, and artifact in those dusty old chambers. He speaks several dead languages fluently, and knows riddles in nearly every language ever spoken by man (or any other sentient species, for that matter). Lex is a bit excitable, eager to please, and tends to stammer and babble when he's anxious, gesturing a lot with his paws. He loves riddles, lolcats, and his job.

Connections: Arthur Paar (his new boss), Melody Thomas, Paula (Thorn's personal assistant)

Character Name: Brenda Nguyen
Species: Human ESPer (empath)
Age: 41
Gender/Orientation: Female, heteroflexible
Occupation: Head of Job Placement services, especially internal hiring
Appearance: Brenda is a handsome Hmong woman approaching middle age. She's about 5'4", thickset around the middle, and keeps her straight black hair in a fashionably crisp, shoulder-length cut. She wears nice dress suits in flattering colors and conservative cuts, and very sensible shoes.

Personality: Brenda comes across as warm yet brisk. She is very competent at her job, but in a way that makes her co-workers strive to please her and live up to her standards of quality. She has a knack for suiting each applicant to the correct job, though she offers several options so as to make it feel like a choice. She's very pleasant, and very good at getting things done.

Connections: Gabriel DiSantis, Ridley Vulpes, Cindy, and any new hires within the ESPers headquarters.

Character Name: Kethry Winston
Species: Human Necromancer
Age: 27
Gender/Orientation: Female, lesbian
Occupation: Freelance Necromancer
Appearance: Tall and athletic like her twin sister, Kel, Kethry also keeps her hair pulled back into utilitarian styles. She wears a lot of dark clothing, minimal jewelry and makeup, and is almost never seen without her signature black leather jacket. She has odd-colored eyes, one a light hazel-green, the other a striking pale blue with a cloudy pupil, leading most people to believe she is blind in that eye. She's not.
Personality: Kethry is more reserved than her twin, keeping to herself and always wary of people she doesn't know very well. She has few friends (understandable, given her talents), but also surprisingly few enemies. Kethry is a practical woman, using her necromancy talents for mostly beneficial purposes to help her clients. She prefers not to work with "icky" undead like zombies, as she maintains an almost feline cleanliness.
Connections: Her sister, Kel, Gabriel DiSantis, Madame Ezra (Medium)
Player/Creator: Director
Public or Personal Use: Personal use only, just ask if you'd like me to play her in a scene for you. I may make her an account eventually.

Character Name: Madame Ezra (a.k.a. Ezra Miles)
Species: Human ESPer, Spirit Medium
Age: 49
Gender/Orientation: Female, heterosexual
Occupation: Freelance Medium
Appearance: Ezra is a middle-aged woman with dark, curly hair and dark brown skin. She has a perpetually unimpressed look on her face, especially when dealing with young, foolish sorts of folk. She's heavyset and wears conservatively cut, 'grandmotherly' clothing.
Personality: Ezra doesn't take shit from anyone, even monsters. She's the sort of woman that will slap a demon across the wrist for reaching into her cookie jar without permission. She has a no-nonsense, somewhat matronly attitude, and enough sass to go around. When she's with someone she cares about, she goes into "Granny" mode and is all about good hospitality and giving good advice. She gives the best hugs.
Connections: Kethry (and to a lesser extent, Kel) Winston, Gabriel DiSantis, and a good deal many more in the supernatural community.
Player/Creator: Director
Public or Personal Use: Personal, feel free to ask me to play her if you want her in a scene.
Character Name: Cait Burek (Kerubiel)
Species: Cherubim
Age: Older than humanity, at least. Appears to be in her early thirties.
Gender/Orientation: Female, Asexual
Occupation: Registration Administrator, Temporary Higher Plane Ambassador (in place of the recently vacated Felix Nirav)
Appearance: Cait is of average height and build, caucasian, with short blond hair kept in a neat but boring style. She has dark blue eyes and a fairly stoic expression most of the time. She dresses in smart business suits in neutral colors. (Think Jones from Gunnerkrigg Court, though I won't use an actual image.)
Personality: Analytical and aloof, Cait comes across as somewhat cool to those who don't know her well. She's not deeply in touch with humanity or emotions, so she may seem a little robotic at times. However, she does have a compassionate side. It just takes awhile to see it come out.
Connections: The other ambassadors, the registration officers

Character Name: Dorian (Ian) Sinclair
Species: Human ESPer, Dreamwalker, Illusionist, Unregistered
Age: 26
Gender/Orientation: Male, bisexual
Occupation: Con man, thief, 'information specialist'
Appearance: With cherubic brown curls and soulful, dark brown eyes, Ian looks like the sweet boy next door that your mother wishes you'd invite over for supper. He's average height, medium build, not particularly muscular or athletic, but not totally out of shape, either. He wears thick-rimmed glasses that make him look even more harmless than ever, and whatever outfit suits the occasion.
Personality: Charming, sweet, gentle, and completely non-violent, Ian is probably the nicest con artist you'll ever meet-- which is sort of his thing. He really is quite a nice guy when he's not trying to con you, but he doesn't have a lot of actual friends who know this. He has his own sort of moral code and limits to what he's willing to do for a job, but most people would consider him 'morally gray' at best. He's a bit of a flirt, and isn't actually very picky when it comes to gender.
Connections: Has a roommate/best friend named Bran.

Character Name: Kasen Hall
Species: Cygnus-Shifter (Swanwere)
Age: 23
Gender/Orientation: Genderqueer, pansexual
Occupation: Head of Magic Distribution (Basically Q, but with magic.)
Appearance: While Kasen's sex is male, ey prefers alternative pronouns. Kasen is very gender-ambiguous, with an androgynously slim form, neither particularly curvy nor masculinely muscled, and decidedly gender neutral or even slightly feminine attire. Eir hair is naturally black, but is bleached white-blond and falls to eir shoulders in feathery layers. Ey is very beautiful, as is common among swanweres, with a face and physique that would not be out of place on a supermodel, though eir beauty would more likely be described as feminine than masculine. Ey has lush, pouty lips, long dark lashes, luminously large violet eyes, and a neatly unassuming nose.

In swan form, Kasen is one of the rare black swans, making em a double rarity: a black swan of male sex only comes along something like once every few centuries. Eir swan form is large, graceful, and blessed with the most gorgeous glossy black plumage.

Personality: Kasen is highly intelligent and studious, preferring to tinker with magical artifacts and devices rather than socialize. Despite, or perhaps because of eir attractiveness, Kasen is rather shy when speaking with strangers, which makes em come across as cool and aloof. Among eir few close friends, however, Kasen is far warmer and exhibits a gentle sense of humor. Kasen is extremely wary of swanmaids, for understandable reason; eir entire gender presentation (or lack thereof) stems from eir desire to steer well clear of swanmaids looking to rope em into mating. As swanweres mate for life, much as their bird counterparts do, ey would prefer to choose a significant other based on genuine attraction and affection, regardless of species or gender-- a notion which has caused much scandal with Kasen's family.

Connections: Lex in Archives, Ridley Vulpes

Public or Personal Use: Personal, feel free to request for scenes.
