Hyde Park Corner OOC

Dear All,

As the community grows, all new character journals will need to be friended. To make this easier we have set up an "Add Friend" button on the main community- just add your username to this and press the button, and all other members of the community will be added to your flist. It may be an idea to use the button every few days especially as at the moment we are having a lot of new applications joining the community.

Final one for now for Roz

Joseph P. Horrigan is a newspaper man and believe me you will be reading his column. Joseph used to write about his travels which took him all over the world and the strange, often macabre things he saw there. Since his return to London however he has been following a new line of enquiry, one into the undead.

Joseph has had some experience with the undead before. A risen creature murdered two of his friends before Joseph was able to dispatch it, and their deaths were subsequently ruled to be the work of an unknown assailant, the case closed quickly to avoid embarrassment. Joseph knew what he saw that day, and the creature that attacked his friends might once have been a man but was not human.

Now with this new monster stalking the streets of London and killing innocents Joseph is not about to sit idly by and accept the official version of events. He is determined once and for all to reveal the true evil that lurks in the heart of the city and he will use his column to force both parliament and the people to listen to him. It’s not just the monster though that Joseph is hunting. He is more than ready to kill any undead creature that crosses his path.

Storylines:
A fight with one of the undead.
Forming some sort of counter society to hunt down and destroy the undead.
Discovering a human member of the council and threatening them with exposure.

Last one, promise! ~Jon

Mordred David Lloyd is the cousin of Adith Lloyd, the same age and very similar in stature and appearance. However, that is where the similarities end. He is spoilt, wealthy and knows exactly what he wants. He is a society prince who lives for parties and for the attention and adoration of those around him.

His parties are normally themed and breath-takingly lavish, and since the supernatural has been the fad of the season, a great many of Mordred's soirées have focused on the undead, on ghosts, ghouls and magic. He hires mediums and fortune-tellers and surrounds himself with them, keen to be seen as fashionable. He's not sure where he stands on the matter though, whether he is pretending to believe or genuinely does.

He is also very much free with his affections, and very generous to those that are willing to adore and fawn over him. Of course, many of his lovers simply want his gifts and to benefit from his position in society, but he doesn't seem to care about that, if he even realises. But he's always looking for new dalliances and new admirers, although he isn't beyond fawning over the famous himself, attempting to increase his own standing by associating himself with them.

One or two plotlines which you would like to play out in the community:

• Some interactions with his mad cousin Adith
• A friendship with mediums and those also profiting from the obsession with the supernatural
• A party perhaps, like that described above, with perhaps a few real werewolves and vampires and other creatures, unbeknown to Mordred
• A relationship with someone who isn't going to treat him like his usual lovers would and shake him up a little
