Pandora's Kiss {Mature} Sign ups

[Drusilla]

I need something new... so, here we are...

Pandora's Kiss

The young man knew that he was in trouble the moment the door slammed shut behind him. Two tall men with long, black hair pulled back in ponytails and dressed in perfectly tailored suits fell into position, flanking his sides, as the woman who had answered the door lead the way into the huge house.

It was risky, and he knew it, but there was no where else to turn. All he could think of was the tall, dark figure who had saved his life, her voice, and the one thing she had said to him...

A soft ding brought him back to the present as a concealed door slid open, revealing a large, dimly lit elevator. The technology was in stark contrast to the age of the house, and the young man's mind was blown by the very thought of the amount of money it must have taken...

The elevator door slid shut, and they began the descent. It felt like they were falling into the very depths of hell and all of eternity was passing before the elevator slowed and finally came to a stop. The door opened smoothly, revealing a dark, torchlit hallway, the walls interrupted sparsely by antique-looking doorways, some wooden, others metallic fit with bars. He tried to catch a glimpse of what lay beyond those bars as he passed, but they moved too quickly and nothing showed in the darkness. There was no sound other than the crackle of flame from the torches and the four sets of feet walking down the hallway. It was unnerving to the young man, how quickly and quietly these people moved through the gloom of the passageway.

He had to stop suddenly to avoid running over the guide in front of him. She reached in her pocket for an old silver key and unlocked the massive double doors before them. A slight sweat broke out along the young man's spine as he trembled slightly, fearing what lay beyond the doors. The woman knocked slowly three times, the reverberations booming beyond the closed doors, before she opened them...

A cavernous chamber opened before his eyes. The vaulted ceiling was decorated with black and white billowy drapes, which also hung along the walls. Candelabra were placed along either side of the chamber, providing the only source of light for twenty feet... everything else was lost in darkness. Luxurious couches were gathered around an empty fireplace, and a find dining room set took up the other near corner.

"Misstress, he has come," the woman's low, raspy voice broke the silence.

A slight stirring from off in the darkness made him jump as a figure materialized from the shadows. It was her, just as he remembered. The long, flowing hair, the perfect porcelain skin, the flawless lips, the full, voluptuous figure...

"You finally came." Pandora's voice rang out, smooth and serene. "This plague has gone on long enough. I see the people of this city struck down by disease, their minds destroyed so that their bodies may be used by this nameless force... This is no accident. Chaos is slowly taking over this city... my city. We will need all the help we can get, and I need you to act as my eyes. Are you willing to do this for me?"

Slowly, the young man nodded, wondering if he really knew what he was signing up for...

The Sign Up
Name:
Gender:
Age: (or apparent age...)
Species: (human, vampire, lycanthrope, or other... any species of lycanthrope are allowed. Other species must be OKed seperately.)
Physical Appearance:
Personality:
History:
Powers/Weapons/Fighting Techniques:
Other:


Vampires: Under the leadership of Pandora, legal vampires in the city adhere to the laws that govern them, whether the laws are human-made or originate with Pandora herself. Drifters and outlaws follow their own rules, but must be careful; should they break code, they will be hunted down and exterminated, either by the human law enforcement or by Pandora's foot soldiers. Blood can only be taken from a willing donor, and may not result in death; use of vampiric powers against a human for any reason is also forbidden.

Lycanthropes: Each species has it's own social structure, but alliances between groups are not uncommon.
Pard (leopards), Lukoi (wolves), Rodere (rats), Pride (lions), and werehyenas are all tied together through pacts, and are allied with the vampire kiss.
Werehyenas are strictly matriarchal.
Other groups may or may not have alliances. PM for further details. I'd prefer to keep it to leopards and wolves, but I will allow the others.

Terminology taken from Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter novels. Listing found here... Yeah, I'm a shameless thief.

Post or PM any questions... I know that I'm setting things up a little differently, so don't hesitate if you're confused.



Name: While rather unoriginal, he's known as "Danse Macabre", or usually just Danse; his true name is unknown.
Gender: Male
Age: Appears to be mid-twenties; is really over 900 years old.
Species: Vampire, rogue; he's not one of Pandora's people, which marks him as an outlaw in her territory.
Physical Appearance: Aside from the stereotypical "tall, dark, and handsome" like so many other vampires, he has light green eyes, the color of budding leaves in the spring and long, straight, black hair that falls below his shoulder blades, which he normally wears loose. His body is long and slender, which is often mistaken for lack of physical power. He can put his fist through a steel wall without breaking a sweat anyway. His wardrobe is (you guessed it!) all black and very expensive; he stalks the night in style. Usually a flattering black suit set of jacket and pants over a black dress shirt. The dress shirt is never buttoned all of the way, giving a slight peek at his pale upper chest.
Personality: He's very quiet, which is sometimes mistaken for arrogance on his part. He prefers to watch and think before acting, if he even does get as far as acting. If one spends enough time around him, they will find that he's calm, collected, even-headed, and very dangerous. Mystery surrounds him, and he wears it to his advantage.
History: Mostly unknown. He is pure-blooded, meaning that both of his parents were vampires, and that he is an aristocrat. His mother was a very powerful elder, though she disappeared many centuries ago. He looked for her for many years, though he never told anyone what he found. His father was killed within a century of Danse's birth. He has come to Pandora's territory for unknown reasons, though all he seems to feel inclined to do for now is watch.
Powers/Weapons/Fighting Techniques: His telekinetic powers are through the roof, something that he gained from his mother. He's very quick; he can move so fast that he hardly needs to cloud the mind of his opponent to appear to move faster than the eye can see. Strength, he has plenty of, though he doesn't look it. He has no need for weapons, for he is one himself.
Other: He's quite the ladies' man around town, though the people who track him (mostly on the orders of Pandora) can never seem to catch him. His animal to call is unknown.


Name: Pandora
Gender: Female
Age: Unknown; like many vampires in positions of power, she doesn't let on to her true age
Species: Vampire
Physical Appearance: She's not tall, about 5'4, with hair that falls to her knees and is so black it is nearly blue. Born in a long ago time, she doesn't have the skinny, bony body that is so popular today; her figure is fuller and would have been the epitome of womanhood in her time. She is still beautiful by today's standards, though. Her eyes are a warm and rich brown, though when she is angered, excited, or uses her power, they darken so much that they become nearly black. Otherwise, she looks like a porcelain doll, perfect, beautiful, and immortal.
Personality: She can play the kind, benevolent leader when she needs to, but for all of her games, she is still a vampire at heart. She rules with a fair hand, and does care for her people, but doesn't feel much in the way of remorse when she has to make what would otherwise be a difficult decision. She tries to act for the good of all without undermining her power structure too much, because any weakness can and will be exploited by those who desire her position. She knows the reality of this all too well, and acts accordingly. Survivalist first, then protector of her people; however, she knows this plague will cut down any and all in its path, and seeks to root out the reason for it first.
History: She's a vampire from the Old World (aka Europe), and though her lineage goes back pretty far, it's obvious that she's come from a powerful line. She's head of her own line, meaning that she has power over any vampire that has descended from her, though that power is weaker over vampires that have pledged to different masters. Her line is marked by powerful telepathy skills.
Powers/Weapons/Fighting Techniques: Telepathy, which she uses to protect her people, though should she use it against an enemy, they'd best beware. She has the super strength, speed, and other such powers of a vampire in her position, and the more vampires she has blood-oathed to her, the more powerful she is. Her animal to call (an animal that a master vampire has power over) is the leopard; she has a special pact with the Pard in her city, which lends her one of their people to boost her power, and gives them special protection from the other lycanthrope groups in the city.
Other:

If anyone would like to be her animal to call, it's open to any character who's a wereleopard.

[Charlie Hazzard]

Name: Charlie Hazzard
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Species: Human
Physical Appearance: Charlie is about 5'10" and has long straight shaggy brown hair, similar to that of Squall Leonhart from Final Fantasy VIII (sorry for the reference, lol...). He wears jeans (neither tight nor baggy) and a white t-shirt with a sloppy anarchy sign scribbled on it in sharpie. A carribeaner-style key chain hangs from a loop on the left leg of his jeans (which are carpenter jeans) but no keys are attached to it. Some sort of perfectly symetrical diamond-shaped pendant hangs around his neck. It is quartz, but occasionally someone mistakes it for being much more valuable.
Personality: Charlie has a quirky sense of humor and generally is upbeat, but sometimes has depressed patches. Despite his generally cheerful demeanor, it masks a deeply troubled soul. In fact, about half of the comments he makes, if thought about seriously, are kind of depressing.
History: Charlie grew up in a loving home, but his entire family was killed in a car accident when he was fifteen. He ran away at that point, and has lived on the streets ever since.
Powers/Weapons/Fighting Techniques: He is a decent empath, and can generally detect the presence of anyone in the area who is feeling any emotion at all (essentially anyone who's not in a meditative trance). He can also manipulate the emotions of others through his words and actions to affect their reaction to him, clouding their judgement somewhat. His strongest ability, however, is if someone else establishes any sort of psychic connection to him without his consent, to latch them onto the neurotic part of his mind that often makes him depressed and not let go until he feels like it or the person somehow manages to break the connection.
Other: Despite his emotional pain and occasional depression, Charlie is usually a somewhat happy guy. He is very compassionate, and hates those who try to push other people around.

[Drusilla]

[Crystal Tears]

My sign up

Name: Aias
Gender: Male
Age: 24 (Though he is much, much older.)
Species: Doppelgänger
Physical Appearance: Aias is a very attractive evil twin, standing at six foot exactly. He has deep grey-blue hair that's cut shaggy in the front, the bangs closer to ears have grown down to his chin, and the back is spiky (Similar to Cloud's from Advent Children). Aias's eyes are a dark orange colour, and only seem to shine with any sort of life or emotion at night, especially when the sky is empty of stars or the moon. His skin is pale, though it takes nothing away from his handsome appearance; in fact, it seems to add on it. He has a nice lean physique. He wears a deep grey; almost black tank top, with black pants. He wars an overcoat much like Axel's from Kingdom Hearts II over top. Aias also wears leather gloves, completely covering his body in black except for his face. No one ever sees him not wearing his jacket, and it's hardly ever undone. Though most women wished they could get him out of it.
Personality: Aias isn’t a ‘lively’ person. He’s cold, which suits him fine. He usually never smiles, and never looks impressed no matter who did what and when. Aias has a dominating aura around himself that makes others get out of his way and just fearful of him. He likes this, his power grows the more miserable and fearful people are. However, even being cold, he will talk. Though you can’t count on him being particularly cheerful and seem interested in what you have to say. He only smiles when he is tormenting someone and bringing ill luck to that specific person or their family.
History: Aias had long tormented the wife of his ‘double’ with ill luck and what not. It’s rumoured that this was the last time he smiled or even laughed. He’d walk by her twice, and then disappear, watching from the safety of being ‘phased out’. Then the ill fortune would come, she’d hurt herself or become deathly ill. It was only when she turned to him and asked him why he was doing this that he turned even more sadistic. He looked at the portrait of his double, and smiled.
The man never made it home, people at his work said he had claimed his reflection was not him, but someone who was identical is appearance. He then had terrible luck with his car. The brakes failed, and he flew of the side of the bridge. But not before seeing his counterpart, watching with an empty stare as he tumbled to his death.

The woman then spread the word it is unwise to speak to a Doppelgänger, seeing what happened after she attempted to.

From them on, Aias has been tormenting various people: All human. As his ‘powers’ of ill fortune and certain death do not completely work (no death or terrible sickness for them, just mild nausea, and paranoia at most) on the Vampires, Lycanthropes, and other various species. However, he has never tormented a child before, but it is unknown why.
Powers/Weapons/Fighting Techniques: His most commonly used power is to ‘phase out’ of our reality. No one can harm him in this state, but it’s vice versa. It also makes people around him feel chilly and on edge. To most humans who see him when he feels like being evil; he appears a blurry form of a human. He can assume the shape and size of whoever it is, but past that is nothing. Aias can dramatically affect the feelings of others (both physical and mental), making them feel extremely cold, depressed, lonely, completely vulnerable, and very sick. He’s very strong, and pretty fast, though usually his ‘powers’ over people make him happy enough.
Other: Aias has no reflection in any surface that can reflect (water, mirror, etc.) and has no shadow. Most people who have encountered Aias have told the police, however, Aias is more of a myth or urban legend. Since there is never any evidence of Aias being there, they can only assume these people are hallucinating.

[Drusilla]

Very nice, Crys! Approved!

[Mystic_clown]

Name: Vincent Belkon.
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Species: Lukoi Lycanthrope
Physical Appearance: Judging from his human appearance, it’s hard to believe that he’s the strongest of the Lukoi. He stands at 6 foot with a lean, yet well toned build (you couldn’t tell this because his clothes hide it pretty well) and a pale complexion. His pale blonde hair falls down to the center of his back and is tied into a ponytail, framing his thin and handsome face. His eyes are a pale brown, almost gold in appearance. His outfit mainly consists of white, with a pale grey, turtleneck undershirt, a white formal jacket and a white overcoat worn like a cape over his shoulders, white pants and a pair of black Italian shoes. Is clothes are custom tailored, suggesting great wealth and a refined taste.

His transformed form as earned him the nickname, “The Albino Wolf”, as his hair is completely white. His form shows off his raw power, yet with a hint of grace to it.
Personality: Cultured, refined and for the most part, polite. He’s quite an easy person to get along with once you get on his good side. He demonstrates a great deal of intelligence, knowing how to negotiate and rule over his people efficiently. While he’s willing to be diplomatic in times of conflict, he’s a fierce ruler who will fight when his people, or his power, are threatened.
History: Earning the nickname “The Albino Wolf” due to his wolf form’s white hair, Vincent has been the Ulfric of his people for a good seven years now, and has been defending his title fiercely. While Ulfrics before him tended to regard the other Lycanthropes as enemies, Vincent was willing to make alliances with them, as well as with the Vampires. He’s had a strong friendship with the vampire master Pandora for five years.
Powers/Weapons/Fighting Techniques: Even in his human form, Vincent demonstrates super human speed, strength, stamina, endurance and the heightened senses of a wolf.. He dispays some regenerative abilities, able to heal from injuries which would take a human a month to heel in a couple short weeks. In his wolf form, his strength and agility are doubled, making him truly dangerous.

[Drusilla]

OK, just one problem. Unless tied to a vampire as an animal-to-call, lycanthropes won't have a long lifespan. They usually live shorter lives since dominance is often a life-or-death battle.

Fix that, and it will be great.

[SmearGal]

Dru Dru Dru Dru Dru~ *dancing*
D: Hey so like.. go ahead and reserve me a spot. But, I'm not sure if I can do it yet.

Oh, and if I join, the boyfriend said he would join. So, save him a spot too maybe.
:'D It'd be his first TPM RPG. But he's a great roleplayer, so no worries. <3

[Drusilla]

Ok. ^^ I will mark you two down as reserves. I hope you two can join! ^^

[Samchu]

Hey there! I'd like to reserve a spot. Dunno what I'll be yet. I need my brain to start working.

[Drusilla]

Hehe, OK then... one more reserve, coming up.

[Master Rudy]

WTF? I wrote that IN WHITE?!
Anyway profile time.....

Name-Charles Rudolf Barton (Prefers to be called Rudy)
Gender-Male
Age-185 (Appears to be in his late teens/early 20's)
Species-Vampire

Physical Appearance-Stands at 6'0" with blond hair. Originally had dark blue eyes that became much lighter, icy looking blue upon being turned. When angered or using his powers his eyes become a dark red. As a human and his early years as a vampire he would have appeared to be a 19th century British noble with the typical dress of the day. In modern times he favors a more laid back look that includes denim jackets and pants, t-shirts, ect.

Personality-Originally known for being slightly stuck up due to being a spoiled rich kid Rudy has evolved over the years into an extremely kind hearted person who takes nothing for granted. This is mainly due to watching his parents die in 1839 and his wife in 2000. Despite being a vampire he is smart enough to know his limits and backs off when he knows he'll be in over his head. Does not hate anyone at all and generally will try to get along with anyone that is not a threat to him, his friends or his master. Has a strong sense of honor and rarely take the first blow in an encounter. When he does get into a fight he will not hold back and tends be a bit on the destructive side.

History-Born to a British noble and a German woman in 1822. His family was part of a long line of royal guards in England. When he was 19 his father on orders of the royal family led an attack on a group of rogue vampires in London. While at the time it was believed that the whole group was taken out Rudy and his family were met with the consequences several days later. A few survivors got away in the confusion and eventually found and murdered both his parents. Rudy himself was badly injured and on the verge of death when another group of vampires that were tracking the rogues came in and killed them. This group was led by Pandora. For reasons still unclear to him she turned him. Since then he has been one of Pandora's most loyal vampires and is totally commited to hunting down any rogues he comes across. In moden times he works as a supernatural detective and an arms dealer to his clan. Operates out of an old two floor office building that has been modified to act as a safehouse for members of his clan.

Powers/Weapons/Fighting Techniques-Having been raised in the 19th century Rudy is adapt at using several different types of swords due to a childhood love of fencing. In modern times he's come to enjoy firearms and brags that his collection obtained through various means would make Homeland Security have a screaming fit. As far as typical weapons go he prefers German made pistols. Has said his three personal favorites are the SIG P226, Walther P99 and Springfield Armory XD-45. Rudy will usually be seen carrying one of these guns (with silver bullets of course) and a pair of silver daggers. As for powers since he's still pretty young by vampire standards he just mainly has strength, speed and basic mind control powers and tricks.

Other-Was named after his father and mainly goes by Rudy. Returned to England recently and found some very distant relations. As a result he's regained some of his family's money. He'll mainly pays for things himself but is sometimes also financed by Pandora if it's something that can help the whole clan. 10 years ago he was married to a human who willingly let herself be turned on the honeymoon but about three years later they were attacked by a group of rogue vampires wanting revenge on Rudy for some friends that were killed by him. This time he fought them off but once again he was severely injured and had his family ripped from him. Since then he will not allow any woman to get too close to him for fear of having another person he cares about be killed brutally. Due to his loses he has taken various means to safeguard his building (steel shutters on the windows, weapons only he and his partner know about hidden in every room, ect). Has an extensive armory with almost any kind of weapon you can think of and will provided them to his clan and their allies for a small fee refundable upon return of anything taken out. Will have a partner that is a Lukoi Lycan and be somewhat linked to her (Provided that's what Brandy goes with ^_~)

[Master Rudy]

So when will we be starting Dru?

[SmearGal]

:'D Just FYI, we are going to join, I think. And if he doesn't, I am at least. We'll get our sign-ups posted sometime this weekend.

[Drusilla]

Awesomeness. I haven't forgotten about this, fear not... I'm just very, very busy right now, working in overtime and all... Ugh. But once Smear gets her sign up in, I think we will start... so sometime next week, or maybe Sunday, since that's my day off. Don't know, but keep an eye out for it!

[SmearGal]

Sooo, here's the deal:
He has an account, but doesn't remember the password, yet none of his emails are the right ones for password retrieval.
He's tried making a new account, but it says the email is banned.

Therefooore, until this gets resolved, he'll write up his posts and I'll post them in here.
I'll stay white, and he'll be in purpull.

D': Hope this is okay. We're both pretty frustrated with TPM atm, but once we get it sorted out it might not be so confusing.. ?

The Sign Up <-- *likes this as a title* :3
Name: Ahkruke (ah-kroo-keh)
Gender: Female
Age: Looks 18-23ish, though is actually around 200.
Species: Vampire
Physical Appearance: Ahkruke is around 5'7 with a somewhat muscular build for a female, complete with a little less than average female proportions ( ). Her hair is a straight, deep brown that flips out a little ways past her jawline, and her eyes are a soft gray that turn into an inky, animalistic black when she's angry. Her skin is not pale, rather, it is quite tan for her kind. Her father was lukoi, so she also has some wolven tendencies; the only physical trace being her canines, which are a bit more pointed and menacing than a normal vampire's. She dresses simply, not really bothering with her appearance: attempting to blend in with the age group she looks like, she typically wears baggy black jeans, a tanktop, some dark-coloured jacket or hoodie bearing band or game logos (her personal favourite being a black and white striped one), and heavy boots since she likes the 'thud' they make as she walks.
Personality: With strangers she's not interested in, she seems cold and distant, and with the certain few that she has opened up to, she is very jovial and friendly and values their relationships above all other things. She is very cunning and deviant in her mannerisms, though doesn't always think things through when she is frustrated or angry. Around humans, she acts like the teenager she used to be, blending in with her wit and sarcasm. She also has a fascination for the things that make humans mortal. Being descended from a lycanthrope, she has a tendency to take this morbid fascination a bit farther than Pandora would allow, though craftily she stays within the boundaries of the Code. Though she is younger than some of the other vampires in her squadron, she is well versed in battle and is a respected individual.
History: Her mother a human and her father of the Lukoi, Ahkruke was born into a small, peasant family in a corner of England. They were soon driven out when her father's secret became a bit too messy to contain, and they boarded a ship headed for the new country of America. After a feud between the native lycanthropes, her father was killed. Her mother gave her to the local coven of vampiric guardians in exchange for her protection and soon after disappeared from the country. There, Ahkruke trained in using weapons and helping out where she could until she came of age and was turned in an elaborate ceremony by Pandora herself that instituted her into a small group devoted to the control of rogue vampires and lycanthropes. She was put under the guidance of Leo and soon after they became lovers and quite difficult to get one away from the other.
Powers/Weapons/Fighting Techniques: She can move incredibly fast, rivaling the speed of any alpha Lycanthrope with ease. She uses her speed to ambush and surprise what she is hunting, though she is subject to becoming tired very quickly. She never fails to carry around a trusty knife or dagger: she stalks, gets in quick for the kill, and is hopefully done with the fight before she starts to become exhausted. Along with her speed, she also has a rather good sense of smell, though not nearly as powerful as any of the Lukoi. She can handle most other weaponry, and especially enjoys firearms, and considers herself a rather good shot for the amount of time she practices (which, with guns, is practically zero). She prefers, however, to let others do the shooting while she provides the support and backup.
Other: She met Rudy once or twice when she and other members of her clan teamed up with Pandora's in order to bring down a particularly troublesome pair of vampire rogues. While not best of friends, they are acquaintances, and she always greets him cheerfully if they happen to cross paths. (If that's okay, of course).

Hey guys..

Name: Leonard, ‘Leo’ for short.
Gender: Male
Age: Looks a mortal 24, is actually closer to 400 or so.
Species: Vampire
Physical Appearance: Leonard stands at an even six feet, with a fairly normal body structure, not too thin or fat, with a little muscle but not too much. His hair , medium length and dark brown, sits upon his head in a fashion that would be best described as “casual corporate.” It doesn’t adhere to a strict combing every morning, yet doesn’t look like a complete mess. His eyes are offset by his hair, being a deep green colour with streaks and splotches of grey throughout them. He keeps clean shaven and wears black trousers and button up shirts to look clean and professional, but casual at the same time.
Personality: Leonard is a myriad of different emotions at any given time and only a select few are ever shown. Outwardly, he maintains a cool, collected demeanour, as not to betray is true feelings to a situation. It’s beneficial and pretty much a necessity to his line of work. It allows him to examine situations and act logically to them. He is typically introvert around almost everyone, even the people he considers friends, preferring instead to observe than interject and offer his opinion. That doesn’t mean he is unfriendly though. Around people he trusts and even some strangers, he will socialise and talk to people.
History: Born in London, England to the time where the rich lived extravagant, luxury filled lifestyles and the poor slaved for little to no money and nothing but the hope of some form of shelter over their heads, Leonard was blessed with the former of the two. Raised by a wealthy land owner and his Mistress, Leonard was taught to one day take over the family land and to use it wisely and to his advantage, which he never got to do. Upon the eve of his fourteenth birthday, the young lad was set upon by one of the women in his father’s household, the young boy’s maid, the woman whom, from the moment he had been in the world, had been watching and caring for the child, watching him develop and grow, waiting for the time to strike. At first, the boy was rebellious, angry at what he had become and enraged at what the woman who was there to look after him had done. However, over time, he came to accept and even to enjoy being what he was as the woman taught him the advantages to what she had made him into. Of course, for a time, the two of them were intimate with each other. That was until Leonard’s father became aware of what was going on and the young woman who was responsible for “turning his son into a monster!” was sent away. Leonard never saw her again, though he suspected that his father probably had something done to her. It was a feeling he’d always had since she had vanished from his life. For the next few years, Leonard stayed at home, under the strict supervision of a father who was slowly starting to go insane thanks to the pressures put on him by having such a monster for a son. Finally, at the age of nineteen, the youngster left, heading across the seas, where ever he could go and ending up in America. He stayed there, settling down and establishing himself as a trusted member of a new clan of his brethren who welcomed him to them and trained him to work with them in the preservation of peace amongst the vampiric race. It was during his time serving with his brothers and sisters, that he met Ahkruke, when she was placed under his supervision and training. From those humble beginnings, a friendship and soon, a relationship blossomed. The two are now all but inseparable.
Powers/Weapons/Fighting Techniques: Leonard relies mostly on firearms to do his fighting and considers himself pretty good with all types of guns and explosives. Unfortunately, this means his blade skills are lacking a little bit, which is where having Ahkruke as part of his team helps, since she is handy with a knife. His collection of firearms, which are stored in various places around the apartment he inhabits, is expansive and inclusive, ranging from Sniper Rifles, to antique flintlock pistols and rifles. He even owns a Blunderbuss, although most of the antique weapons are more for show than actual use, mostly because crafting silver ammunition for them is a pain in the arse, whereas silver ammunition for modern weapons are far more manageable. As for his powers, Leonard is still a middle-aged vampire and not quite as powerful as some of the Elders. His powers include the basic vampire ‘upgrades’, like strength and speed and other senses. But his most powerful tricks come into play when dealing with other people’s emotions. Leonard is a master at not only conversation and persuasion, but he can also heighten or dull emotions within people. This tends to make him a good negotiator and is often sent into situations first to attempt to defuse them, his weapons and team becoming a secondary back up should he fail, which does happen.
Other: He’s had a few brushes with Pandora’s vampires now and then due to his occasional infringement on her laws. Although he’s always managed to find a way out of it, he is considered a borderline rouge, but he is well respected and indeed sought after, even by some of Pandora’s vampires and obviously by Pandora herself, thanks to the request for his assistance.

Name: He is known simply as Gael; a name which he rarely gives to anyone but one that is known by many.
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown. Though he appears to be only in his late 20s there is an aura surrounding him that suggests he is far older than many suspect.
Species: Vampire
Physical Appearance: Gael stands a towering 6'4 with broad shoulders and a well-maintained physique. He keeps his appearance hidden, however, behind a pair of loose black jeans, a black shirt, and a long black coat. He has short black hair that spikes slightly at the front and towards the side, bending at the back to make a small ponytail that ends at the point between his shoulders. His eyes are a dark grey, almost stormy colour.
Personality: To many who meet him he is both cold and mysterious. He says very little outside of that which absolutely needs to be said and to most he'll say nothing at all. He is the type to sweep in silently, take care of his business, and retreat again before anyone can notice. He true personality is hidden behind many walls and few, perhaps even none, have ever seen it.
History: Little is known of Gael's origins. He is a wanderer, slipping from place to place as casually as he wishes. No one can determine exactly when he came to America because he likes to keep his presence hidden wherever possible. Many rumours surround him. Some say he is a bounty-hunter of sorts, brought in to take care of those who stray too far from the code. Others, suspect that he is one of these very same vampires, and remains elusive to avoid Pandora's wrath. But which is the truth?
Powers/Weapons/Fighting Techniques: His weapon of choice is a sword hidden somewhere on his persons. It has a long, rigid blade carved with ancient symbols. It is believed that he doesn't carry it at all but can summon it at will. There are also stories, that the blade is tied to him and any who try to take it are struck down my dark forces. That theory aside, it is also rumoured that he has an alliance with the shadows and that he may pass through them at will. Either that, or he's just very, very stealthy.

Looks great, Sam. I'm going to see about starting this tonight, though I can't make any promises... Working over 50 hours a week is killing both my creativity and my social life. ><
