OOC Name: Frenchie
Timezone: Central
Activity Level:Ā I am rather active and can be on at least once or twice a day replying to starters, paras, etc. I do attend university and so, of course, that is my biggest priority but I find that it rarely conflicts with my roleplaying and being as active as possible. If it, or anything else comes up, I will request a hiatus or semi-hiatus! Overall, in terms of numbers, I would give myself about a 7 to 8.
Character Name: Fiahaala Aingeal-Scrios
Relationships/Suggested Ship (Please list two connections for your OC based on our characters here, and if there is a FC youād like to see as your ship, we can add them to the to-do list) Macy Young; friends, Ezra Cohen; close friends.Ā
Personality:Ā
Fiahaala is astonishingly intelligent; a being of Godās, she has the ability to speak any language across the world. She has an especially heavy, loving, and emotion-filled heart. Miraculously protective, loyal, balanced, compassionate, brave, intuitive, selfless, down-to-earth, lively, passionate, witty and sociable are clear adjectives that greatly describe her. Though sarcastic, impatient, secretive, manipulative, headstrong, confrontational, stubborn, impulsive, indiscipline, inconsistent, restless, and moody are some of the more worse adjectiveās of the young brunette. Quite the hybrid, sheāll make an impression on anyone that she meets. Though her darker side rules out all adjective in total as a strong evil maleficent take holds. Having a fear and an impeccable intuitive quality, sheās quite shaken on what she mightā and trulyā is, for she doesnāt believe that everyone amongst her is completely honest, making her untrusting of otherās.
Biography:Ā
Created in the upmost immaculate conception, Fiahaalaās nature was not only her beacon of life but also the bane of her existence. With the intent to bring on the second apocalypse, God created the perfect warrior, naming her Fiahaala Aingeal-Scrios; which translated into English from died-down Gaelic meansĀ fallen angel sounded by darkness, angel of destruction.Ā He kept her a prized secret, even from herself, though her truest form began to show as she would often times become controlled by a presence so dark from within. Jesus then destroyed her, creating the angel of destruction once more, though this time He ensured that any mistakes in which He made were corrected. Conceived with idiosyncratic mystique features and a gentle but heavy emotion-filled heart, Fia was put along an endless list of gaurdian angels.Ā
After sheltering the oneās she watched for a quite the elongated time, evilās maleficent, Lucifer, devised a plan up from when her previous self began to show signās of the angel of the apocalypse. He seduced her into sin, unwillingly for she was in a trance, and pulled out her core destructivity and let it control her; he then influenced her and sent her on the mission of killing Jesusā secondhand angel. Fia tore the being of light from limb to limb, her teeth tearing through the flesh and bone and bathing within the creatureās crimson blood. The brunette ate and ate and fed on the Godās right hand angel until an uproar sent shivers through the heavens and Jesus forced the angel of destruction to stop, whom now fell far from the grace of God.
Sending her to one of the preponderance elderly gaurdian angels of them all, this man explained to Fiahaala what God explained to himā which was only partly the full truthā that Lucifer influenced the fallen angel to do harm. However, this didnāt change the fact that she were now sent down to earth, and more specifically, New Orleans.Ā
Feelings about the Hunters:Ā
Fia isnāt too fond of the Hunters, for she doesnāt see the purpose in starting a war between the species. Though her feelings about this never truly show for she is like that of a cat and is only concerned with herself, her charges and the ones she has grown a fondness for. However, donāt let this confuse you with being selfish as she is far from. Ā
Feelings about the other Races: Ā
Fia is indifferent upon other races. Most times she can sympathize with nearly all of them besides that of demons. She is also heavy on respecting the beliefs of others and therefore will not judge them.Ā

The crimson colored, syrupy texture ran dripped down onto the immaculate white floors. The freckles of droplets hit the floor in what seemed like slow motion. Then her hands, covered in lividity, came into view. The brunetteās palms were shaky and though you couldnāt see her face, you could hear her breath. Her breath which was rapid and broken. The next thing that came into view, after being blurred, were her feet. Covered in the same blood. And as it slowly ran up her body, her face finally was shown. The horrified look, the blood that spread across her face, down her neck, onto her naked form. She stood there. Fiahaala. Fallen Angel.
"Fia." A voice boomed into her ear drums as her dream engrossed her every being. "Fia." The manās voice once more rang, paying specific attention to the I in her name, which sounded more of an E. The brunette shot up, her radiant hair flying into her face and scattering upon her features. But nothing stood there. Absolutely nothing materialized from within the shadow of her room. The brunette were alone but that didnāt answer the question on whom had spoken her name so loudly.Ā

OOC Name: Della
Timezone: AZ (GMT -7 no daylight savings)
Activity Level: 5?
Character name: Brooklyn
Race description: Gargoyles are an ancient species, and by nature turn to stone by daylight. Various forms of gargoyle reside across the world, each with differing characteristics.
Occupation: Mechanic
FC: Aidan Turner
As for character connections, Iām not quite sure, and I think you guys would be best suited to assign people like that :) Or perhaps suggest?? His sexuality is pansexual soā¦
Personality: Brooklyn has always been inquisitive about people and the way they live. When he woke in this time, he immediately latched on to the popular culture of the city. Heās a bit socially awkward, since he does get easily excitable, but once acclimated to a situation, can be one of the most comfortable people. He has an obsession with motorcycles, and loves to collect sunglasses. Heās a very loyal friend, but is wary to make friendships, since he has been betrayed by someone he once trusted in the past. Once he knows you are true, however, he will protect you against all else.
Bio:
Hatched at Castle Wyvern in Scotland, the year 953 AD, Brooklyn lived in relative peace with his clan and the townspeople they were sworn to protect. In his 36th year, still an adolescent by gargoyle standards, his castle was attacked while he and his clansmen slept in stone for the day, and only six of them survived. A series of events followed, leading to the castleās bigoted mage to curse the remaining gargoyles to sleep until the castle was āraised above the clouds.ā
A thousand years later, his clan awoke in New York City, the castle having been moved there by a billionaire, atop the tallest skyscraper, and yes, above the clouds. There they had many adventures, adjusting to the modern age, making friends, enemies, and even met other clans around the world. But Brooklyn was never at peace, not fully, because as time went on, his brothers found mates, and he was left without someone to call his love.
He decided that it was time for him to spread his wings on his own, and left his clan to find himself. During his quest, he got on the wrong side of a particularly mischievous fae, who took it upon herself to try fixing Brooklynās woes of love with a little trick. As a result, instead of becoming stone during the day as he always had, he now transfigured into a human. It wasnāt ideal, and it was quite painful as well, but there was no way of reversing the curse. But there was a plus side, he supposed; as a human, people might not look at him as a freak, at least while the sun was up.
He continued to travel, trying to discover who he was, especially with this new human side of his life to figure out. Somehow he ended up in New Orleans, the Big Easy itself. Heās gotten himself a job as a mechanic, as with his love of motorcycles it seemed perfect for him, and so far it seems like heās kept his secret nice and closely guarded. But now he feels like heās lying to himself, trying to keep the person heās been his whole life now trapped in the closet. Humanity is another headache, considering the different emotions and hormones that the human body has to deal with, along with his young age, presents another task for him to face.
Feeling for hunters: They donāt hurt him or other creatures, he wonāt hurt them. Heās a protector above all else, and even if they are hunting him, he abhors taking a life.
feeling for other races: He feels a kinship toward others who are not human, and will stand by them unless he is given a reason not to.

Oh crap, oh crap oh crap.
The sun would be up any minute, and Brooklyn was scurrying through the skies to get somewhere safe. He had a few safe houses, places it was okay to land, with clothes tucked away for him to put on once he was human for the daylight hours. Unfortunately, those were only helpful if he was actually near them. Flying low above the rooftops of New Orleans, Brooklyn knew that at any moment the sun would peak over the horizon and he would drop like a stone, turning human against his will. He should really have paid attention to the time, but that band heād been listening to in that park had been really good, and he hadnāt wanted to leave, heād lost trackā¦
It struck him as a shooting pain through his spine and he fell 15 feet onto the hard rooftop of the building he had been gliding over. Luckily his leather like gargoyle skin prevented his knees and hands being skinned from the rough contact. He groaned in pain as his wings folded in upon themselves, disappearing into the skin that steadily became softer and smoother, and his beak shrank, forming itself into a human nose and mouth. In less than a minute, where there once had been a gargoyle, there now lay a panting, nearly naked man in a loincloth.
āā¦..ow.ā
After a moment to collect himself, Brooklyn picked himself up and surveyed the area. He spotted the roof access door, and made his way over to it. He didnāt have any other options, as the fire escape heād spied did not come all the way to the roof. Unfortunately, he tried it and found it locked. He sighed, bumping his head against the door and shaking it. After another moment, he stood back, took a deep breath, and then started to bang on the cold, metal door. āHey! Hey! Somebody let me in!ā
We got a new app! We'll be accepting Saturday at 9PM EST, so you have time to send in your app! We have a few new characters recently added, so check them out if you haven't. And of course, if you have questions, feel free to send them in. I'll be glad to help!
I have a question about what races or creature you are involving. I've always wanted to play an AU version of a gargoyle, such as on the old Disney cartoon Gargoyles, but instead of turning to stone by day, they turn human. Would you allow that? And if so, can I play one of those characters from the show with this twist?
Sure, weāll very open to that! That sounds like a great addition to our supernatural creatures actually. Just make sure add a race description for it. You can take a peek at the other profiles on the main for inspiration. We canāt wait to read your app! If you want some help with connections or fc help or anything at all, weāll be happy to help.
What does it mean when a character is retired? Obviously, they're out of play but does it mean they're dead or simply not being played anymore?
It just means that their players are unable to have a constant active role in the group. Since they have been with us for the very beginning and have gone through a lot of character development with the rest of our characters, we feel it would be wrong for a new player to take their place.Ā

Desired Character: Everett Freeman
Para Sample:Ā
The need for a fatherās approval can be the downfall of any man. Especially for a man who was not ruthless. He would have to learn how to cheat, lie, steal, and if it comes to it, kill for that approval. Luckily it only took Everett to lose his soul to become heartless bastard he was destined to be. There wasnāt even a small part of him who regretted becoming the man he was. After all, he was now one of the most powerful men in politics. And hell, it was wickedly fun.
He had everything that he wanted. Money, power, and something even more delicious that only money could buy. Women. Every night, he had a gorgeous blonde or a striking brunette by his side. Then later that night, heād have them in his bed. That night, at one of the many obligated dinner parties he was throwing, he had a beautiful blonde on his arm. A blonde whose name started with an I⦠or was it a C? He couldnāt remember. Even though he knew she had probably corrected him about handful times that night. What could he say? He loved playing with his toys.
āHey doll,ā Smiling charmingly, he wrapped his arm around her waist. āWhy donāt we figure out together what makes you purr?ā He whispered in her ear and caressed her soft chin. This was definitely his most favorite part about being the man he was. So many girls to fulfill his heartās desire⦠well, more like his sexual desire. They didnāt have to be fascinating or even know how to carry on a conversation. They didnāt even know how to speak English. This one definitely would have been better if she didnāt speak English. She kept going on and on about saving the rainforest, which deeply bored him. Figuring she would more interesting if he could hear her moan instead, the sooner he used her the better.
Giggling like some kind of idiot, she nodded and batted her eyelashes at him. How well she played her part of innocent virgin for him, but Everett was no damn fool. She wanted his status and money. The sad part was that only he was going to get what he wanted. Well sad for her. Excusing himself with his guests, he lead the way to his room. Not bothering to wait till they were inside the room to start their sacrilegious ways, Everett started to unzip her dress as they kissed their way to the bedroom. There was nothing kind in his handling of her. He kissed her roughly and hungrily caressed her delectable body. She was practically half naked when they entered and she would have lost the rest of her clothes if they hadnāt been interrupted.
āGood Evening, Mr. Freeman. Had I known you had company I would have interrupted you sooner.ā Everett suppressed the urge to groan at hearing that damn womanās voice. She had talent at knowing when to drop in whenever he was busy. āIāll meet you in the room. And also, that dress is hideous. I hope to find it on the floor after Iām done here.ā He said, unable to hide the need of what was to come, as he slapped the blondeās ass. When his conquest left to his bedroom, Everett turned to his maker with a tight smile to cover up his annoyance with her. āMy dear Anya, I had no idea you were going to pay me a visit tonight. Had I known, I would have had the champagne ready for you or a virgin for you to sacrifice.ā
āS.J. RES 21. I want you to support it.ā She said simply, not bothering to explain why. Why wasnāt important anyway. He knew what that bill was and was not surprise she wanted him to support it. Sure it meant that whatever pathetic country that the United States was going to invade and force to follow their rules will probably crumble down in matter of years. And all for oil. But Everett didnāt care, he had more pressing matters waiting for him in his bedroom. āDone. Long as you invite me for dinner sometime. Is that all?ā He shoved his hands in pockets and tried keep his impatience out of his voice.
āGood.ā Again, no explanation and thatās how Everett liked it. āIāll leave you to your whore. Make sure you use a condom, Everett. We wouldnāt want a little Everett running around or Lucifer forbid, a little girl.ā Smirking like she said the most cleverest thing ever, Anya teleported herself out of there before Everett could respond.
āIs she gone yet?ā Everett turned around to find his meal for the night looking rather tasty without any clothing. Thank Judas he was no saint.

Desired Character:Ā Casey Fisher
Para Sample (2 paragraphs at least, in character and third person):Ā
"And -Ā done.ā Casey muttered between her teeth as she punched the āperiodā button on her laptop with a bit more force than was necessary. Glancing down at her watch, the light from her desk lamp catching on the crystal face for just a moment, she saw that she had half an hour left before work. Carefully, she closed the lid of her computer. It was new, after all, one sheād bought with the money sheād earned at Deadly Sin. When her old one had died, Casey had never felt more relief than the moment that realized she had enough cash to pay for it herself.
Her parents were good people. They really were. But with them, everything and everyone had to be perfect. Her dad had worked his way up from nothing, and he expected nothing less from his only daughter. Casey would never have called them and asked for the money to purchase a new computer, she just wasnāt hardwired that way. The idea hadnāt even occurred to her. Besides, that would only bring on questions about where all the money she had been given for emergencies had gone - and she wasnāt about to admit that it had been blown on having fun becauseĀ thatĀ would only lead to the truth about an even more painful humiliation: the loss of her scholarship.
Being away from her small town and her perfectionist parents had been intoxicating, and Casey knew she hadnāt made the best choices during her first two semesters at college. But what was done, was done. That was that. She was too practical to mourn over spilled milk. And she wasnāt embarrassed about stripping. It was just a job. One that Casey enjoyed more than she had anticipated, granted, but still a job. It paid for school, and necessities. She had no reason to feel ashamed, and she didnāt.
At least, she didnāt until Derek and her other friends at school came around. The very thought of the withering looks that would wash over their faces if they ever discovered the truth made her feel sick. As she slipped on her shoes, grabbed her purse, and headed out the door, Casey shoved the thoughts of her classmates behind her. She had a job to do.

How do you feel about the suggested ship? Please keep in mind that the ships are purely suggested and may not play out as originally planned.Ā I really like the idea of Casey and Derek (and not just because their names remind me of that old Disney Channel show Life with Derek, haha). The idea that Casey is human among monsters and yet still struggling with fear of rejection just like many of them are really appeals to me - especially because Derek is an angel. The angel and the stripper, haha. Itās an unusual romance, and yet a compelling one.
Any questions/Changes youād like us to consider?: Ā Nope, everything looks fantastic! Thank you so much for taking the time to read my app, and I hope to get to roleplay with you soon!
