Mod
Name: Eirénne Linnaea
Nickname: Eirí
Gender: female
Age: appears to be around 19 or 20, actually about 40 or 50
Demon Type: Kôvar (fire demons)
Appearance:
She has long, wavy hair that stretches to about mid-way down her back and pale blue eyes nearing a clear violet. When she is hungry, everything about her is pale, from her hair to her skin, to her eyes, except her red lips. Among the humans it is rumored that it is because they drink blood, which is horribly untrue. In truth, it is from the fire that she and her kind feed on. The more and more hungry she is, the paler she becomes, her hair first usually fading to a white-blonde. When she is fed, her lips are a bright, vivid red, her skin has a healthy, robust color, and her hair is a flaming reddish-orange color. Her eyes, however, remain a steady and unchanging pale blue. She is also smaller than most demons, with a small, thin figure often associated with that of a dancer. She has very little muscle, other than what is needed for dancing, and her only real physical strength lies in her magic.
Personality: She is very private, and is painfully shy. She has no desire for war, chaos, or bloodshed, and has much a preference for the arts, be it dancing, singing, drawing, writing, or making any kind of music. As would be expected in accordance to her dancer's build and history, she holds a quiet grace to herself.
Background: As a child, she was deemed to fragile to be a warrior of any sort, and was allowed to dedicate herself to the arts. Her parents are protective of her, as she is so frail, and were reluctant to let her be sent of to the academy. However, it was agreed that her appearance is so non-threatening, that her parents could not argue the reasoning behind sending her to the academy to gather information on the humans. She has been studying her magic since a child, though mostly in the form of art. She is naive, foolish, and trusting, unknowledgeable about the world. Needless to say, her parents are concerned for her.
Abilities: sand/glass, sound
» sand/glass: She is able to create and manipulate sand, and thus glass.
» sound: She is able to absorb and manipulate sound waves.
Weaknesses: Crowds scare her almost senseless, she becomes agitated and shaky, until she is too upset to function. Also, liquid water, with which she is not friends by any means, and will avoid at all costs. Most people, particularly men, make her quite nervous, and there are very few people that she feels truly comfortable around.
Likes: animals, fire, flowers, good music (she's picky), red roses, snow, tolerance
Dislikes: animal cruelty, death, people, sudden loud noises
Crush: She's terrified of people, remember?
Other: She eats fire, literally, and she loves most animals.
Kôvar :
Kôvar are beings born of fire. However, the birth of these demons are rare, and as a result, their population is quite small. They usually have red hair that turns to a blonde and white upon a fast. They live off of fire, and need nothing more than heat, oxygen, and fire to survive. All demons turn slowly paler as they use their energy. They draw their energy from their internal flames, which is why water poses such a danger to them. The longer they are submitted to liquid water, the more it starves their fires of oxygen. The fire they consume feeds their internal flame, and they turn paler as the result of that source being exhausted. It is rumoured that they drink the blood of infants, but that is completely and utterly false. Their abilities generally deal with heat, air, fire, and/or electricity. A human may sometimes be reborn as a Kôvar if they are burned to death, and their final breath is stolen in a kiss by a Kôvar. It rarely (almost never) happens. In fact, it hasn't happened since the Salem Witch Trials of Boston, Massachusets. They are among the more peaceful types of demons, and are usually content to keep to themselves. Still the most important thing about a Kôvar, is that they cannot and must never drink water.
Mod
Name: Drasteia Furie
Nickname: Khaos
Gender: female
Age: 19
Appearance:
She has long hair that extends to the base of her back in a ponytail, which it is always in, since it tends to go frizzy whenever she messes with electricity; it is a bright red, the color of autumn leaves. She has light green eyes reminiscent of spring, and a fair complexion that has clearly seen the sun. Her figure is curvy, lined with toned, smooth muscle. She is beautiful, but it is beauty of the wintery sort. Of an average height, she is about 5'5" or 5'6".
Personality: She is a no-nonsense kind of girl. Her words of often sarcastic, with a sharp edge, but then again, she is not exactly worried about hurting people's feelings. She's willing to do what it takes to get the job done. She does not have personal relationships, and avoids them at all costs. She does not believe in mercy or compassion, and has no empathy of any sort. She's very intelligent, but quite lacking in the category of people skills. Really, she's just not that personable. All in all, she is rather cold and unforgiving, a cynic and harsh critic of both herself and others.
Background: Ever since she was a child, lightening has been attracted to her. During lightening storms, her parents would stick her outside, paranoid that the house would burn down. After a demon attack on the small town she lived in at the age of eight left her mother dead, her father moved her and himself out of the town, where he taught her to take care herself. Her father was abusive, and they never had a good relationship. She left when she was fifteen, found a city, and took whatever jobs she had to in order to get by, usually as a thief, guard-for-hire, or something of the like.
Abilities: accuracy, electricity
» accuracy: She has superhuman accuracy, and will always hit whatever she aims at.
» electricity: She is able to absorb, generate, and manipulate electricity.
Weaknesses: She has severe trust issues, and a notoriously short temper. In addition, her people skills or lack thereof have a tendency to earn herself enemies. Strong magnetism makes her abilities go awry.
Likes: lightening, storms, weapons
Dislikes: death, incompetence, stupid people
Crush: She has trust issues.
Other: Hates her name (her parents were quite eccentric).
Mod
Name: Arkeni Persius
Nickname: Persius, the Piper
Gender: male
Age: 21
Appearance:
He is tall and long-limbed, though gracefully, having passed the stage of awkward lankiness. His eyes are a pure, clear grey, piercing, as if they can see inside your soul. With normal people, that is the case. Most hunters and demons tend to be more closed up, he's noticed. He's slender, but fit in a manner similar to a distance athlete or a photographer. Not that that has anything to do with being fit, it's just what he seems to be reminiscent of. His hair is a glossy dark brown that falls in waves to his shoulders, he is obsessive about keeping it clean and beautiful. He has a small goatee and some other, symmetrical hair on his jawline, separated from his small beard by about two inches on either side. With that and his small mustache, he somehow pulls it off. Some find him attractive, anyways. He certainly does. But one couldn't call him unattractive. He likes to wear nice clothes too. Tailored suits and whatnot, he does not like the casual style. Oh, and he has this thing for white dress shirts. Don't ask, no one knows. His voice is rough, like dark chocolate, in middle range of men's voices. It's pleasant.
Personality: He may be a bit vain and into himself. It is very possible. He's good, and he knows it. Cocky son of a bitch. He is too smart for his own good, and has the silver tongue of a politician, and he always seems to say the right thing. The question is whether or not any of it is true. The best thing is to simply not trust him, no matter how convincing he may seem. He can be charming. When he chooses to.
Background: First off, he comes from a very wealthy family. Secondly, he is very biased against demons, which is a sensible thing, seeing as he has been hunting them for a good ten or twelve years. His father was a famous demon hunter, before he was killed, and he taught Persius much of what he knows. His mother was content to let her husband and son protect her and Alisse, Persius's little sister. She is eleven years younger than him, currently ten, in fifth grade. She's a dear little girl. He himself just finished college, with a master's degree in political science, hunting demons in his spare time. Persius the piper, why not send him to the Academy?
Abilities: speech, telepathy
» speech: When he uses speech, his voice turns a silky-smooth, rich, luxurious voice, comparable to the voice of an angel. People who listen to him fall into a trance and will follow him until he stops talking, much like the Sirens or the Piper of lore.
» telepathy: He is able to connect with anyone's mind (who is not immune), but he can only enter an open mind.
Weaknesses: His sister. He loves his sister more than anything in the world, and he would do whatever it took to keep her safe. His abilities with speech are powerless over people who show him honest vulnerability. Not fear, or false bravery, but simply a pure vulnerability. It's why he loves his sister so much. Again, closed minds can block him from prying through their minds, as well as those simply resistant.
Likes: Alisse, beautiful women, children, good taste
Dislikes: abusive men, stuffed animals (i.e. teddy bears), Valentine's day
Crush: He struggles with honesty...
Other: More afraid of himself than he would ever admit.
Idk supernatural so I wouldn't know...?It would be helpful from now on if people put hunter or demon at the top of their profiles ;u;
I'd like to make Remorte later lol. We just need more demons at this point...
Also, in this rp, it's spelled Demons. Not Daemons. Just letting you know C:
All approved <3333
Sweet! Will be done soon C:
HUNTERName: Ridessa Ilde Paine
Nickname: Dessi, RIP
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Ridessa is fairly tall, about 5'7", with a thin frame and a skinny figure. She isn't particularly hourglass shaped or well muscled, but is lithe and agile. With her long dark hair, her light pallor comes off as almost white. She has eyes that are a darker shade of blue than most and wears two silver piercings in each ear, a matching cross slung around her neck for good luck.
Personality: Ridessa believes in practicality. Just about everything she does is for a reason, and if there is none, she'll find an excuse. She is superstitious, but if she finds her beliefs will get in the way of her goal, she's likely to compromise. Generally an optimist, Ridessa strongly dislikes being around people who only see the negative, as she finds that they tend to depress her. She always finds a way to make the best out of a tough situation and tends to bring up those around her, the jewel of her family and an excellent hunter. That was until she was suspended from doing so by admission into Hemlock.
History: The oldest child of her parents among four brothers, it seems as if her life might've been harder than it was, but she has always had a supportive family and her siblings all adore her. Growing up, she was often left with the responsibility of caring for the rest while her parents were often busy, but they were all satisfied with their life in middle class suburbia. Ridessa had always been told that she would grow up someday to be just like her parents, who were world renowned in their underground regimen of demon slaying. They demons were dehumanized among her family, thought of as vermin, the scum of below. So she trained hard with her brothers and became the best among them, and the day her parents phoned that she would be attending Hemlock Academy, she felt as if she were being dragged away from her duty as a Paine. However, she put on her bravest face for the sake of her family, filled out the application, and was accepted. No questions asked, no trouble stirred.
Abilities: She has been intensively trained in the martial arts (basically, she's amazing at evading blows and using the opponent's weight against them), and has picked up a variety of counter curses and hexes from her parents, presumably to ward off or dispel demon magic.
Weaknesses: Claustrophobia (she can't explain it, she's just always had it) and ...
Likes: Mornings, music, and the occult.
Dislikes: Cold, cats, dating, and demons.
Crush: (Open)
Other: Because of her family's strong beliefs and her own brimming schedule, she has never been in a long lasting relationship, and is rather blunt towards the opposite sex, while still remaining as polite as ever.
DEMON
Name: Avarice Briar Alighieri
Nickname: Briar, Greed
Age: 20 (She is a reincarnation, so technically, she is as old as time itself, though she is actually only a few decades old.)
Gender: Female
Type of Demon: Sin - Greed
Appearance:
Like all demons, Avarice is considered more attractive than the average human, with a pleasing figure and unique features. She is tall and thin, but not in any way scrawny and has a strong, evenly tanned body. Often, her strikingly light hair falls about her face, despite her half-hearted attempts at tying it back. Her hard eyes are characteristically an almost mahogany-like shade of red, an attribute that in fact adds an exotic air to her image rather than subtracting from it. As far as her wardrobe goes, she tends to keep to ensembles that flatter her appearance, but enjoys change and can pull off some rather obscure looks.
Personality: In short, Avarice tends to come off as a bit rough. Generally, she doesn't avoid people, in fact she relishes in being amongst them, despite her occasional irritation when in large groups. However, her touchy demeanor and unstable emotions tend to set those she is not acquainted with further from her. She is very argumentative and sure to get her way. In some senses, her intense nature and desire to get what she wants allows her to embody Greed more fully, something her siblings constantly tease her for. Because of her inability to turn down a direct offer (this includes deals if phrased in a certain way), she avoids gambling and other activities involving such risk and very few outside the family know of it.
History: Avarice grew up among her five siblings, each a sin of their own, and her father, Pride. Their father, the most powerful among them but also the least predictable, set his children loose into the world of humanity from a young age. He taught them not to hate humans, but in fact to relish in their fear and, in the case of hunters, the rush of the chase. They were never told they were important in any way or that sorrow would follow their deaths, and so the thought that they could in fact die wasn't the same to them, especially with the knowledge that they would be born again, and so many of the sins live life on the fringe. Avarice was always closest to her one sister, the embodiment of Envy, the two spreading chaos among mortals in blissful glee. She was just recently transferred to Hemlock under her father's orders, and relishes the idea of such a strange new environment.
Abilities: Avarice has the always active "gift" of seeing the greatest desires of others. She only sees them once on initial touch, but if the goals of the person in question change, she will receive another vision from them. ((If this is not okay with you - and I don't think it makes the greatest impact ever - please don't simply make your character immune.)) Because she is an embodiment of an intangible vice, she is able to alter her image, though she always appears female.
Weaknesses: She tends to hang around people she already knows, as constantly receiving visions of others' desires tends to irritate her, and as would be expected, large crowds of people violently disorient her and can give her terrible headaches. As a celestial being, she is incapable of turning down a direct offer. This is only an attribute applied to her, as the demon Greed.
Likes: Cats, the color red, the moon, discord, and being right.
Dislikes: Obnoxious people, seafood, and being kept in the dark.
Crush: She tends to exhibit more of a playful interest in people she likes, and will even go so far as to purposefully seek out their desires. Were she to grow close enough to someone she may even make a pact with them so as to grant them such.
Other: Among her family she is known as Avarice, but she finds the name a bit too direct and goes by Briar among most. I have not considered this an ability because she is not in control of nor will her death stop it, but she is the current source of greed among the human race (Will be replaced in the next generation/Cannot remember her past lives).
HUNTER
Name: Elysia Sculley
>Nickname(s): 'Lysia (Lee-see yah)
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Elysia's sweet, round face and quiet grin is very deceptive, hiding the wary nonbeliever she actually is behind it. Her nearly black eyes, rimmed in eyeliner, rest under a pair of high, arched eyebrows and golden blonde bangs. Her skin is a soft vanilla and clear due to both genetics and a near religious (hah!) regime of beauty products. Born with a already lithe figure, constant running and biking made her have a pretty muscular build.
>Style:
Elysia wears minimal makeup, but goes a little bit crazy when it comes to eyeliner. Her fashion sense is a little...off-beat, with her one-sleeved shirts and her favorite tank top, which she finds hilarious considering her job as a Hunter.
Personality:
Unlike most in her 'position', Elysia finds it hard to believe there's an higher power, a god. She really doesn't speak out on this, though, due to both her quiet demeanor, and the last time she did, she was hurt by someone she considered a friend, a quick tempered boy named Elliot. She tends to keep most people at arm's length, only building relationships for her own use. She has a cheesy sense of humor and a wind chime of a laugh. 'Lysia is a bit of a loner, finding it easier to work alone than with others. She dreams of being the snarky, sarcastic girl, but the people-pleaser (more like the shcmoozer) within her stops her from ever doing that(Well, her schmoozer-ness and her fear of verbal abuse, but we'll get to that later). She tries to be serious and indirect when speaking, and has a very shifty aura.
History:
Like most, Elysia was born into her profession, with a family filled with Hunters. During her childhood, their methods were taught to her and drilled into her brain, molding her ideals and the person she would be. She was raised alongside the child of a longtime family friend, a tiny guy named Elliot McDermind. They were closer than close, more like brother and sister than friends, up until their opinions started to change. Unlike Elysia's family, Elliot was raised from a family of very devout, traditional Catholics, and he was raised with a stung belief in God, whereas Elyisa's family didn't really have an opinion on God, letting their children choose what they believe, as long as they were not pledging themselves to satan or one of those strange pagan gods who demand human sacrifice. On one unlucky Saturday when they were both 14, Elliot decided that today was the day he was going to convert his dear ol' pal 'Lysia, then he would ask her out and they'd fall in love and get married and be together forever, because that's how most best friends end up, right? Falling in love and all that. So they talked. And Elysia confessed that she found it hard to believe that there was a God- if there was one, why were all these terrible things happening to all these good people? And the discussion turned into an argument, which turned into yelling and then-blam!- Elliot had pushed Elysia down to the ground, hard. She had gotten up, giving the boy a look of the thing he had fought her about- a look of complete and utter disbelief. She had given him the cold shoulder since then, and basically ostracizing him. She was an angry teenager. So this was the best thing she could think of, erasing all of the relationship she had with him until it was utterly dissolved. By chance the two saw each other later in life, they would not talk to each other. Maybe give the other a quiet nod of 'hello', but no word would be exchanged. After that big fiasco, Elysia continued on with her life, hunting demons up until the day she got a letter from one Hemlock Academy, which put her hunting to a complete and utter stop.. And, well, she's here now.
Abilities:
Elysia is very, very good at shooting with impeccable aim. She has been raised on using firearms, shooting with bullets packed with salt to ward off demons. Elysia's weapon of choice would be any kind of sniper rifle. She is strangely good at picking up languages and texts; her memory is as sharp as a blade.
Weaknesses: Verbal abuse. She's absoluetly terrified of harsh words, examining your every flaw and saying things like Wow, Elysia, you are such a f***ing idoit. You had a clear-a** shot at that demon, and guess what? Now that you missed him, he knows that there's someone here after him. Which means more security and more people getting killed, stupid. Oh, and most insects. Those things freak her out. Justice.
Likes: The color blue. Puns. Stupid jokes. Freckles. Being by herself. Rainy days.
Dislikes: Loud people. Cruelty towards people who don't deserve it. Dry weather.
Crush: [Open?????]
Other:
[SCREEEEEEEE---
If anyone wants to be Elliot, they totally can. I will love you five-ever if you do.]
Nah, they only thing I really had about Elliot besides that he's very religious is that he's hotheaded, so go crazy!!!
Around Elysia's age. You can make him older or younger, I don't really care!!! uou
