Hello everyone! I'm BaZ and this is Halyn (like Van Halen? Yeah). He's a vampire and the singer in the local band Wonderland Taxi and his little sister Mina (who should be applying soon!) is the bassist. He's somewhat anti-social, hates Therianthropes and even has a pact with his sister that if they ever met one, they would kill it. A were-panther killed their mother when he was a teenager, so ever since then he's had a grudge. He's never been in a relationship, so his sexuality is pretty much undetermined. He'd like to think of himself as a killing machine because humans mean very little to him, so it's not out of the ordinary for him to kill a human for the fun of it.

Halyn and Mina share the same sire, so if anyone would be up for filling that line for us, that would AWESOME. We also need a second guitarist and a drummer for the band. Also, Halyn will be using a journal via internet. His bio can be found here!

Hey all, tis Thoz with yet another muse to add to the party. And gasp, it’s a girl!

This is Samara Montague, a vampire who isn’t too happy about being one. She was turned roughly thirty years ago by one Johan Klein and has been alone and confused about it ever since. Samara’s fairly new in town, having just missed the bombs, moving in from Las Vegas. An Illusion Designer by trade, she’s the brains behind a lot of new magic tricks you might see around Denver or even on TV so even though you wouldn’t have heard of her, you might have seen her work.

She’s mistrustful of the world in general, knows very little about how to be a vampire – there have been one or two unfortunate ~incidents~ in her past when she tried to do things like feed. She’s on the lookout for maybe a little guidance in general but right now she’s just trying to find her feet after the move; the last thing she expected when she made the arrangements a month or so ago was to move into a city that looked like it was in the aftermath of some war.

And yeah, that was a lot of rambling to say very little. Add her please, you can find her bio here! :D

Beginning of the month, folks, which means activity check :D You all love it, I know. As usual this runs from August 1st to August 31st. Anything posted after August 31st has been counted towards the September check. Also, we’ve had some people leave the game, so all Friends Lists will need some major updating. If everyone (with all their accounts, obviously) could run the Friends Button, that would be awesome. Anyway, on with the check!

( Activity: August 2009. )

Okay, everyone, so, time is now unpaused and we’re back to real-time. It’s Monday 24th August, as you all know, and basically in the time while the game was paused, Denver has just been trying to recuperate and get everything put back together. Emergency services are still working hard to clear the bombed areas and the hospitals have their hands full, understandably. The newspapers and news stations have been replaying footage and stories, but no one knows who set the bombs or why. What this means for you as players is that you can handle that however you like; if your characters have been helping out with the clean-up, then go with that, if they’re in the hospitals then go with that too. Obviously this post is for you to ask questions related to the plot and what might have happened in the meantime if I haven’t answered them here already, and you can go ahead and tell other players what happened to your characters during the plot and what they’ve been doing since. You know how this works! Obviously you can feel free to post backdated logs for the time of the plot too.

Dru again! Comcast has come the the rescue, and now I can has internets in my apartment. Joy!

And now, back to your regularly scheduled plotting.

I'm literally crying on the inside, guys.

So, I'm currently stealing internet from one of the neighbors in my apartment building. Not sure how long it's going to hold out, so I'm going to drop off for the next day or so. The internet dudes should be in tomorrow-ish to get my apartment set up. *sob* Withdrawal, it's hitting me already.

Try not to blow up the interwebs while I'm gone!

Okay everyone, time for some chaos! As you just read, some bombs went off tonight in the city of Denver. Here's the facts you need to know:

The bombs were not large and would not have taken out whole buildings. They would have caused damage, yes, and people will have been hurt, obviously, but these aren't massive, major explosions the characters are dealing with. Bear that in mind.

The downtown businesses were left vague intentionally to give people the freedom to work with the bombings as they like. If your character owns or works in a downtown business, go for it.

Injuries! There will be plenty of them, as you can imagine, but be sensible with them please. Limbs won't have been blown off, buildings haven't collapsed and there are no big craters filled with bodies. There's lots of debris and fire, obviously, the blasts will probably have knocked people around, overturned a car or two here and there, that sort of thing. Work with it as you see fit.

There's going to be a lot of panic and chaos in the wake of the explosions: because the police stations were the first to be hit, the emergency services are understandably strained and somewhat slow to respond; their coordination isn't up to par, they're disorganised and understaffed as a result.

Time will be PAUSED from this point on! As a result, you can feel free to have reactions in the form of journal entries, texts, voicemails, threads, narratives or logs!

I think that's it for now, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask them here. Other than that, have fun and go nuts!

That time again. A little late on my part because I’m on a trip right now~ As usual, this runs from the 1st to the 31st. The lists are below the cut. If any of these are wrong, please feel free to correct me, whether I’ve missed hiatuses or posts in particular.

( Activity: July 2009. )

It's that time again. This check runs from June 1st to June 30th and includes all characters not on hiatus or introduced within one week of the check's end. As usual, if any of these are wrong, please let me know; I managed to spot one mistake before posting this, so I'm a little paranoid that there might be others. I did the best I could to keep track this month, but I was hiatused for most of it myself. Don't hesitate to correct me on any of these, everyone!

( Activity: June 2009. )

Hey dudes, it's Jamie. I am feeling super lazy right now and want to get this intro done, so I'm going to copy Emma and go into bullet point mode. Also, I still have less than Clez.

● Tory Branson. 25. Human.
● Night shift manager at Downtown Adult Video, the biggest porn rental in Denver.
● Also does a fair bit of local theater and plays violin for a few of his friends' bands sometimes.
● Has been in Denver for about seven years now, working in the same place for most of it.
● Majored in English and Psychology, and likes to analyze people for fun (particularly customers).
● Comes from a pretty conservative small town (the eyeliner would not go over that well if he went back to visit, most likely).
● Knows just about everything there is to know about porn by now, to the point where it freaks him out just a little.
● Will give you a nickname and blog about you if you come to the store and do something crazy or interesting.
● Creative, intelligent, opinionated, pretty easygoing, an indiscriminate flirt, can laugh at just about anything.
● Profile!

Hey, this is Dany with a new character, despite the fact that Johan has been suspiciously inactive. I'm going to fix that this week, only not starting today because I'm having to take care of a family member. Which means CLEZ, I'll tag our scene either tonight or tomorrow morning. Promise. ♥

Anyhow, I'd like to introduce you to Victoria Renard, my arctic fox therianthrope. She's new in the area, actually from a territory in Canada, and here as a representative from two activist agencies. The first and most important is the NLTA (Northern League for Therianthrope Acceptance) a group that helps promote a non-violent peaceful image of therianthropes across the northern hemisphere in the hopes that the prejudice and fear concerning her kind will eventually decrease and that therianthropes will be widely accepted. She hopes to open a branch office in the area, mainly because she heard about the riot, but as of now, she's not too sure if it's the right place to set up the first American branch. Her second group is called Foxes Against Fur, which originally started in the 70's masquerading as an all human (because of course therianthropes weren't publicly known) organization comprised of all women who opposed the use of fur in fashion. Now it's widely known as a group started by were-foxes that now actively seeks members from all types of therianthropes in an effort to stop cruelty toward, and poaching of, their natural animal counterparts.

Currently she's staying in the Locard territory, and is going to be making sure her presence there isn't entirely unwelcome. She's big on respect, and doesn't want to offend anyone, especially none of the other therianthrope groups. Victoria is pretty shy if you catch her outside of professional situations, and because she usually appears so self-assured it makes some people think that she thinks she is better than everyone else. She's not, and despite that awkwardness she's interested in meeting new people in the area. Everything is here if you'd like to read more about her. :)

Hello children! This is Emma (loupgarous, omgvlad, telepathically) bringing in a new character! I stink at these kind of posts, some I will make a list:


● Jenna Kleist.
● 19.
● Empath.
● Part time college student 9psychology).
● Desk bitch at the Other Registration Office.
● If your Other has been to the office or called it on the phone, chances are they have spoken to Jenna.
● Former Army brat/outgoing/a dreamer/sometimes loud/stubborn.
● Has been in a wheelchair since the age of seventeen as a result of an automobile collision.
● Profile can be found here.
● Has been around the journals for awhile, so feel free to know her that way or from the office.


The End!

Hey all, Thoz here.

Just a quick note to say I'm gonna be on semi-hiatus for a while, I'm moving tomorrow to a temp place and then again a couple of weeks to my new flat. Basically everything's going to be a little crazy and up in the air, I don't know what my internet capability will be like although I know when I finally get to the flat I should be cool [thank god for flatmates who not only understand but feel the same way with the whole 'the internet is the lifeblood'].

Anyway, I'm hoping to be around now and then to check email and journals but no way to know for sure.

- Thoz

This is me going on a semi-hiatus. My frankenstein computer finally gave out on me the other day, so the only access I have now is at work. Work computer doesn't allow me to get on AIM or check my home email either so yeah.. I'll be able to do some journal commenting and extremely slow threading if anyone's interested. So, yeah... Me = semi-hiatus please? Not really sure when I'll be able to get a new computer, but hopefully it's soon.

Hey guys!

Okay, so apparently I have rotten luck. I tripped and spilled water on my keyboard. The motherboard seems to be okay, but a bunch of keys aren't working soooooo I am on another forced hiatus. Semi hiatus really, until I have the board fixed or purchase a temporary one.

:/

Hi everyone! New face for you, and a new player. I'm Dany and I'm bringing you a member of the Archai coven, Johannes Fritz, though you can call him Johan.

A little about him: He's a former member of the Hitler Youth so every now and then, don't be too surprised if he slips into that mindset. He doesn't mean to do it! Really... he's super polite and doesn't want to be racist/prejudice, but it happens! Overall, he's just kind of a melancholy guy who seems sad all the time because he can't let go of his past, and he doesn't talk much. Johan keeps everyone at a distance and is afraid to get too close to anyone. He needs some people to try and cheer him up, and possibly annoy him in the process. Any and all plot lines are welcome! His entire bio is here, in case you want to get a better feel for him and how your characters might react to him.

I'm very excited to be joining, and can't wait to play with you all! If you want to plot/talk feel free to IM me anytime on AIM (truebornstark) or e-mail me (truebornstark@live.com). :)

Hey, everyone :D For plot purposes, I’m looking for volunteers. What I need, from those who are up for it, is one Other character each. Just one each, from everyone who would like to volunteer characters. Bear in mind when making the offer that these characters will out of action for a while, so make sure you don’t volunteer anyone who you desperately want or need in the coming weeks for whatever reason. Comments to this entry are screened, and as and when applicable, details will be made available to the appropriate people :D

Thanks!

iHola mis amigos!

I'm Alej and I'm new so bear with me as I learn the ropes here. :)

I'm bringing in Elizabeth Madden, she's a loner vampire who has only been a vampire for two years. She's just moved to Coldorado as an intern for Caleb Dwight and I believe Marcus also. She's gonna be shadowing them in hopes to learn some things before she starts out on the streets and working her way up to be a detective herself. Her bio is in her journal if you want to know more, or you can always ask me.

As for me I'm gonna be a sophmore come fall in college double majoring in english and history. I'm always up for plotting so hit me up on AIM: adanesne2 whenever. :)

So please add runaway_world to your friends. I can't wait to play with all of you!

~Alej

This one is entirely my fault, maybe with a LITTLE ENABLING FROM ZO. But I claim full responsibility, this is Hezy btw. Again. Shh.

Bringing in a loner wolf this time! Cameron Harris (who I will probably keep calling sewerwolf accidentally), she's fourteen and.... lives in the sewers of Denver! Uh, basic history is that she was born and raised until she was eight in a religious cult in Louisiana that was disbanded and arrested for growing and dealing drugs. She was shot in a scuffle with the locals and accidentally turned by the Deputy Sherriff, who happend to be a thrianthrope of the Arabian wolf variety. After that she was in a coma for several months, and when she woke up from that she was kiiiiind of different. There's more wolf than girl in her, her dominant personality is a wolf and she reacts that way before she reacts like a human. To cut this a little shorter, she now lives in the sewers of Denver, and she's been there since last October (2008). She was involved in the riots, only in so much as she ran around in wolf form and got tasered :| No fair, humans. NO FAIR. So anyway, if you can think of plot let me know :D she's been around a while, and may know a few people a little. She's kind of serious, very black and white about things but she's not bitchy or anything, tends not to realise she's being rude.

This has gone on way too long, today was hot and I think I cooked my brain. For more info, please to be going here, and PLEASE ADD HER ♥ she'll be appearing on the journals with her stolen blackberry verrrrry soon >D

Howdy Howdy Howdy... another n00b here. I'm Sara, and I'm from all the way 'down under' in Oz. I'm 26, studying and hope to be a writer. But enough about me, that's not why I'm here!

This is Suzie. Suzanna Potts to be exact. She's a wild child loner vamp, turned in the car park of Led Zeppelin's iconic Detroit concert in 1969. She's a dark souled spirit of the 60's, and likes nothing better than to watch America destroy itself slowly over time. Oh yeah, she's a real patriot. Oh, and did I mention she's pretty much insane?

I'm into darker threads, and a special call goes out to any of the were-buddies; Suzie has a special hankering for that blood type. It's her drug of choice you might say. Anything goes with Suzie, but she can be a bit of a handful. She's also a bit of a go-with-the-flow type girl, so if you have plot in mind yourself, she'll fit right in.

Nice to meet y'all! Can't wait to start playing! Oh, and I'll be setting up an AIM for Suzie today, so I'll update my contact details soon.

EDIT: She's got a new AIM now... kreaturesuzie. Feel free to send her a poke or a twat or whatever the kids are doing these days.
