[info]veranous
Hullo All! Crys here with my second char!

This is Jinx (or Alex if you insist on using a real grownup name). She's a snarky, distant geeky girl with a fixation on vampires and a great fantasy life. She's a free lance programmer who's recently arrived in Grey Haven due to some vampire council she's heard about. She's got a yucky disease she doesn't want to live with anymore and blahblahblah. It's always so hard to sum up a character in these things.

She'd love to meet vamps around town to obsess over and try to convince to turn her... She'd also love to meet others to play video games with, tabletop with, and generally hang out discussing their magic decks and latest exploits on WoW/Diablo III/LoL or whatever.

Anyway, yay. Hi.

I can't sleep, so hi!

[info]hounds
BB here with character number five.

This is Aggie. She's a werewolf and a hunter. She was a werewolf first but as the clan's omega she was abused by her peeps pretty badly. When an attractive, older man appeared to take an interest in her she kinda fell for him. She was in her teens at the time and he was in his late twenties so he saw her and still sees her as a kid sister type. Also, by take an interest in her, I mean he was a hunter gathering intel on her pack to assess what kind of threat they posed. Once the pack found out about the hunter and Aggie, George (none other than Beth's [info]patrols) found out exactly what kind of threat they could pose. Thankfully, Aggie and George got away.

For her trouble, George got Aggie a job as a hunter. Their skill sets compliment each other so they've pretty much worked as partners ever since and have been called into Grey Haven to provide extra muscle.

Hit me up for plot!

Mod Kelly here, with another character to toss into the mix! Gilly Shoat here is a Rawhead and Bloody Bones who's been taken advantage of as a both a living home security system and a trespasser body disposal unit. She was recently rescued from her life of servitude by a Broker & Guild raid on her owners establishment, and she's been brought to Grey Haven in the hopes that she can be rehabilitated. One Tom Reed may or may not be tapped to foster her! Though she won't be immediately available to interact with, once she's settled in with Tom, she'll definitely be out and about, exploring Grey Haven and getting into trouble. Check her bio for more personal information: otherwise, you can find out when your characters interact with her!

NEW CHARACTER. NOW WITH 25% MORE SPAM!

[info]o_muse
Hi folks. BB here. This is character number four.

Meet Mneme (pronounced: NEE-MEE). She's a muse, or a succubus, depending on your point of view. A lot of the inspiration for her creature type was inspired from the Sandman comics, which you can see a bit of here. Muses have to be careful that they're not hunted down for being evil sex-death monsters or used for their ability to give sometimes epic levels of inspiration and insight.

Mneme has spent most of her life around academics; philosophers, historians and some of the hard sciences. She's moved around a lot in order to cover up the fact that she never ages (not to mention the fact that she frequently feeds off her employers) so while it's not known if a muse has ever come to Grey Haven before, it wouldn't be the most unheard of thing ever.

Hit me up for plot and stuff!

O hello.

[info]i1ostyou
BB again with character number three. This is Mirah. Mirah is fae. More specifically, Mirah is a child thief. (Think Peter Pan or the Doctor from Doctor Who.) Mirah goes around and abducts young people to save them from growing old so they can have adventures all day long and never listen to anything anyone tells them to do ever.

As you can imagine, being a Lost Child is just not as fun as it sounds on paper. Mirah has lost a lot of companions over the ages and has finally come to Grey Haven to figure out what's so special about being human. She has no concept of money, responsibility or basic right from wrong. There's just fun and no-fun.

I have a feeling she'll start at the Lodge. If anyone wants to give her a job to see how many hours she lasts before she is fired, BE MY GUEST. If someone thinks their character is brave enough to be a guardian, I applaud their gusto! Hit me up for plot/lines.

Also, keep her away from your children. For srs. She might get ideas.

[info]_storyteller
And here she is!

Meet Willa Mason, former Sasquatch turned wiry brunette come to Grey Haven 13 years ago with her husband Clint [info]bare_feet and son Jack (now 15). Willa is gentle-natured, super friendly, and full of energy (mostly provided for by her caffeine addiction). Willa makes fragrances, toiletries, and beauty products made from wild-grown ingredients (which she gathers herself) and sells them at her little shop (The Herb Basket), which is attached to her husband's (Holistic Medicine). She's a bit of a hippie who loves her family, her life in Grey Haven, and vanilla cappuccinos. Chances are, if you've been around the town for a while, you know the Masons; Clint's over-generous nature and Willa's affinity for randomly telling wild stories.

So plots? Yes?

Oh hey. Just your friendly neighborhood Sasquatch here. Don't mind him.

I am Ally and this is Clint Mason, former Bigfoot. He's lived in GH for 13 years, has a 15 year old son named Jack and is married to Willa Mason ([info]_storyteller). He's a super nice guy, owns/operates Mystic Medicine and Supply. He is a holistic healer who relies on herbal remedies, tonics, tinctures, ointments, etc. to heal wounds. He sells teas, crystals, herbs, etc. He and his wife can be found at their booth in the Farmer's Market on Fridays and Saturdays and they also organize the local Co-Op, but I'll let her tell you about that. Anyway, people probably know him and like him if they've been around for longer than a year.

So yes, plots and lines, throw them my way!

New Character!

Everybody meet Barabas - or as most of your characters will know him, Barney Eldermen. Barney is the Dean of Admissions and professor of philosophy at Grey Haven Community college, has been a resident of Grey Haven for over twenty years, and has only just now come back to the city after being gone a year.

Why was he gone for a year? As most people would know, Barney's wife Selma (a staple of the community and head of the Baptist church choir) died of a heart attack the year before, and Barney took a leave of absence to 'inform the family and properly grieve'. That's half right.

See, Selma (like Barney) was one of the oldest Gold dragons still around. She and Barney (who were mates at one point) were rulers of the Metals for roughly three centuries before they decided to retire in Grey Haven. After her human death, Barney left to inform their offspring and the rest of the known Golds of her passing. He's only just now coming back to town, and needs a lot of catching up.

Personality wise, he's poised and personable, very approachable and a deep thinker. He absolutely loves it when people come to him for advise, and will likely offer it in some shape or form in every conversation. He also likes to entertain and likely will have an 'I'm Home' party for his friends at his cabin on the lake sometime soon.

So lines for him? Thread ideas?

o hai!

[info]sainted
BB here!

This is CJ. He's a celestial. CJ has the least creative human name ever. It's more of a title, really, which probably stands for celestial justice or celestial justicar. He's pretty much a bad ass that throws down the law and carries messages.

For those of you who have characters not new to Grey Haven, people may have seen CJ passing through before. He doesn't introduce himself as supernatural, but he can't really help the fact that he carries himself like a robot and has the presence of the Dali Lama. It's really hard not to tell that there isn't something up with him.

While his previous visits have been brief, his plans this time are a little more long term in order to keep up with some of the town's new residents. He'll eat regularly at the Coffee Bean, the diner and go to BAR every night and nurse a single drink while reading philosophy or something. Basically he was sent here to stalk people.

Have fun with that! :DDD

Also he may have feelings for Jack because who doesn't love that sexy old man?

New Character!

[info]_hellbound_
Erin here, with character number TWO!

I would like to introduce you to Jaden Walker. Jaden has been a resident of New Haven for three years, though most locals think it's only been two. Why? Because she spent her first year in the Lodge. See, Jaden didn't take the change especially easy; she had a lot of learning to do.

Previously to crossing through the Haze, Jaden didn't exist - the creature that did was a subspecies of Infernal commonly known to the supernatural world as a Hell Hound (you can read about them in the Beastiary entry under Infernals). Raised her entire life as a beastial slave, Jaden (who's True name only herself and her Breeder know) had a pretty nasty case of Stockholm Syndrome when she first came to Grey Haven, but over time things improved. Greatly. You can read the details in her bio, which is open to everyone.

As for her personality:

Jaden has grown a lot since her fateful first arrival to Grey Haven, but it took a lot of intensive, dedicated work to deprogram what had been a mind twisted by countless generations of hellish breeding and cruelty. To her credit, the buried intelligence of her species had not been completely weeded out of grasp; Jaden learned to communicate fluently within her first month as a human (and completely stopped growling by the end of the following month). Socialization and trust-building by the dedicated keepers of the Lodge turned a dangerous, near wild creature in a woman's body, into a relatively adjusted, productive member of their little society.

Three years after first arriving, Jaden is considered a quiet, somewhat reclusive woman who's entire demeanor can often be described as a little mysterious - also, slightly ominous. It's always difficult to tell exactly what she's thinking, considering her expression rarely shifts beyond three or four degrees of emotion in either direction. Her smiles are usually close-lipped and slightly tilted into one cheek, her frowns are more a sharp expression of her eyes than any other feature, but the common degree is an intense breed of stillness that always feels as though it might break into frenzy at any given second. Every thought, every action, even every expression of hers seems to be run through a thick filter in her mind. And even then, there are times she can come off a little... needlessly snippy.

Whether by nature or otherwise, Jaden has a tendency to be possessive of things she considers either belonging to her or in her care. More than a few college students and weekend readers at the library have learned not to bend the pages of library books, and don't try to take a french fry off her plate. As long as people respect her boundaries, she can be perfectly civil - even enjoyable in the right company (that is, people who don't mind her monosyllabic nature.) She doesn't mind having conversations with people, so long as they're okay with carrying most of the topic weight. If she's really interested, she'll serve inquiring questions to keep the interaction going.

As far as relationships go, she's been 'advised' against forming any solid attachments with permanent residents until she fully integrates, and that was fine with her. For a while. Now that Jaden has realized that she's her own 'person', with no one to answer to besides herself and the laws of humans, in the last year she's been slowly emerging, pushing herself to learn more about the people that share her sanctuary.

A few more facts:
-she's the local librarian (and is almost always reading)
-she loooooves to people-watch, almost to the point of staring
-she has a tendency to chuckle at very inappropriate times.

So hit me up if you want to do anything with Jaden!
