Skeletons (ocs are welcome too): open | taken | all | reserved

𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐒𝐇𝐐 is a 21+ original character crime and supernatural roleplay group set in 1999, LAS VEGAS, Nevada. inspired by classic mob films such as The Godfather and Casino, with influences from An American Werewolf in Paris and Innocent Blood.

Rumors of vampires and werewolves have circulated throughout Las Vegas for decades. Most dismiss them as myths born from sleepless nights and whispered casino folklore, but those working within the city's criminal underworld know better. Behind every lucrative deal and every bloody betrayal are predators who have perfected the art of remaining hidden.

as we are currently updating the pages, some things will not be accesible until they've been completely finished. the new skeletons THE GALAXY and THE EDGE have just been posted, and we've decided to up the amount of skeletons any member can take up to FOUR out of your TWELVE allowed muses.

[deadlandshq]

MEET THE EDGE

BASIC INFORMATION

LABEL / TITLE: the edge OCCUPATION: first partner of the galaxy, parent of the sun, the moon, and the stars ORGANIZATION: the valdez family TRUE AFFILIATION: utp NAME: utp ( last name must be valdez ) SPECIES: vampire AGE: 45+ FC SUGGESTIONS: utp ( must be diverse, preferably latinx ) STATUS: open

SUMMARY you grew up within the valdez family, a go-getter, a strong individual with eyes for what was right and wrong. you loved your family, perhaps more than you'd ever love someone else. but you were always at the edge, accepted, but never celebrated. then the galaxy came along, and they closed you in, embraced you, saw through expectations and found your warmth. they became your centre. and for a long time that was perfect. you were celebrated, you had brought the families closer together. but when the clash and the split happened, you stood before a choice. you could join them, your love, your galaxy, or you could stay with the people who had just come to love you as you loved them. did you choose wrong?

CONNECTIONS

THE GALAXY // the one who made you valuable did you love them? you think you did, you have three beautiful children with them, you thought they were the parent you had always dreamt of. you could see the respect from your family for the way they were held in your arms. you thought you saw your own feelings reflected back at you. but perhaps you were only hoping you could love them. because why else was the choice so easy to make? THE CREATURE UNDER YOUR BED // your murderer/your sire you remain unsure if they turned you because of your position or because they were simply looking for someone else. but when they realised their mistake, they changed you. this is what you think. their requests for your help and your whispers came after, you think it's only natural that you tell them. it would be so easy to believe them when they whisper to you that everything is the way it should be. THE GODFATHER // your family when the two families were together, when you had made sure marriage kept you stronger, the godfather had your back. a new bond had existed between the two of you. perhaps because you both married into another crime family, perhaps because you both dealt with people in power. there was so much laughter and inside jokes between you, you couldn't envision it would end. but they lost their husband, and you made the conscious choice to give up on love. even if you are now still on the same side, you feel as if there is a ravine between you.

MEET THE GALAXY

BASIC INFORMATION

LABEL / TITLE: the galaxy OCCUPATION: head of the oduber family ORGANIZATION: the oduber family TRUE AFFILIATION: the oduber family NAME: rene oduber SPECIES: human AGE: 48 FC: parisa fitz-henley STATUS: taken by niek

SUMMARY you were born on the island in eternal summer, you knew only the sun, the beach, and the salty wind for most of your formative years. your father, a business man whose plans were simply too grand for the small island of aruba, was always restless. he moved you and yours to las vegas in the hopes of expansion. the deals with the valdez family were made out of understanding that they were like yours. until time showed there was more to it. you urged your father to take this new path, to use the real-estate, the shipping, the hotel business for something more. you too had plans too grand to fit in your known universe, you needed a galaxy. it was only fitting that you became the leader of the empire next.

CONNECTIONS

THE UNIVERSE // your former beloved there was no intention for a marriage alliance, that was old-school and backwards. but you couldn't stop love. you were fresh from an unexpected pregnancy, gave up your baby, and in need of love and protection. they gave it to you. for so long everything felt right. but when valdez and oduber split, they didn't choose you. you have never known love to flip so quickly into rage, but this is a universe you're no longer welcome in, and you wish to destroy. THE SUN // eldest daughter/former right hand they were what you were to your father. the perfect set of eyes and ears, a copy of all your right traits. there was nobody you saw fitting the position that you may one day leave behind better than them. so when your personal physician told you that the sun had to step back, you wondered how? had you made a wrong assumption? were they not like you after all, or was more going on? were you to find out the real reason, the world would be too small. you made the mistake with the universe, you cannnot have your child make the same one. love is not stronger than blood. THE MOON // middle daughter you promised to protect all your children equally. since you failed to protect the first. but you'd been neglectful to all of them in different ways. the moon paid the highest price. you wanted them to be happy, you imagined them back on aruba, away from all of this. you could accept it. instead you failed to see the worst coming, and instead of trying to save the softest of your children, you protect the stars and decide to save your legacy.

as some of you may have already noticed, DEADLANDSHQ will be undergoing a few important changes as we move forward.

following a change within the admin team, a former admin has asked for their contributions to the rp to be removed, and we will of course respect that request.

first the name of the rp will be changing. we're currently brainstorming some new options and are absolutely open to suggestions from our community, so if you have an idea you'd like to share, please feel free to send it our way.

the Universe and Kingpin skeletons will be replaced with two new skeletons: the Galaxy and the Edge.

these will be introduced as soon as possible, and any existing connections involving these roles will be reworked accordingly.

we’re also excited to announce we’ll be reconstructing the sloane family and taking a new approach that will fully ingrain the families.

the family will instead become the Oduber family, originally from Aruba, moving forward you may now address the current head of house as such.

the Irish roots of the sloanes will be fully removed, and the family history and connections will be reworked to fit the new direction of the rp.

more information will follow as the family pages are updated. rest assured, admin Niek will be reaching out to all players whose characters are currently involved with the Sloane family to discuss how these changes will affect their characters and connections.

lastly the location page will also be completely reworked to better fit the direction we're taking the rp, so if you have locations requests, send us a message and we can ensure that your ideas are including in the new page.

our opening event will be staying as that was created especially for our new members by cc aster, and you may continue your threads accordingly.

we know that changes like these can be a little inconvenient, particularly so early after opening, and we appreciate everyone's patience and understanding while we work through them.

our goal is to make these adjustments thoughtfully and establish a stronger foundation for DEADLANDSHQ moving forward.

we're still very excited about what we're building here, and we hope you'll continue to be part of our writing family.

if anything, we're grateful that these changes are happening early enough that we can make the necessary adjustments now and move forward with a clear direction and get back to the important stuff: plotting and writing with each and every one of you.

finally, we'd like to thank our former admin for the time, effort, and support they contributed during the opening stages of DEADLANDSHQ. we appreciate everything they brought to the project and wish them nothing but the best in their future endeavors.
