Nightfall OOC

[Alastor]

In this world, the night is never truly asleep. When man slumbers, other races begin their own lives at night. Though they are more than well-known in this world to exist, and have lived alongside man so long that they pose no harm in this civilized age, for the most part the lives of creatures and normal men have don't overlap too often.

At least, not in the professional world- as you would expect of their nocturnal habits, most creatures work the night shifts. And in the golden state of California, San Francisco to be exact, quite a few of these creatures are abound and going through their lives.

In this game, you basically play as a monster going through their day to day life. Could be any age, since this is a slice of life game. A better plot will probably be figured out.

{creatures and 'turning'}
In this world, most creatures are born as normal humans- even if their parents are creatures. In the case of a creature-parented child, the child 'turns' into a creature later in life, usually turning in the middle of puberty. Turning tends to take place in the span of two or three days, and frequently experiences flu-like symptoms. What the child turns into is usually based in whatever their father was- for example, it's entirely possible for someone to have a vampire mother, but turn out as a werewolf do to their father. This also means it's entirely possible for a creature to have a completely human child.

Creature list:
Vampires- Most common race. Mostly harmless because of the advent of blood banks and donor drives, and frequently found working in medical fields. Adverse to garlic and sunlight, but amusingly immune to holy items.)

Werewolves- Second most common, and a decent deal more dangerous. Their wolf-like instincts tend to lead to them working as police. Adverse to silver, of course.

Ghosts- Third most common. They're not the spirits of the deceased, as much they're humans with the ability to phase through walls (with whatever they're holding) and float a bit. Usually work in labor fields. Adverse to sunlight.

Succubi/Incubi- Shapeshifters that embody the the vices of lust, which leads them to be pegged as sex demons. They don't actually feed on sex as much as they feed on any activity considered 'romantic'. Prolonged terms of boredom (as in, two days straight of doing nothing they find enjoyable) will literally kill them. Usually work in entertainment.

Fishmen- Obviously exempt from the whole 'turning' thing. Usually work as sea hunters. They have to stay in the water or wear a 'drysuit' when out of it. Possibly masters of espionage when in suits.

[JW%]

Name: Lilyandra Valra

Age: 26

Appearance: Variable, though her relaxed form is a tall, athletic woman with green eyes, dark brown hair, and a lot of freckles across her face, arms, and collar area. She likes wearing loose fitting comfortable clothing, like baggy sweats or slacks. Her transformations are still involuntary, being mostly unnoticed by mortal eyes, and gradually changing her, her clothing, and her mannerisms towards whatever fantasy is being pictured by those around her. She is more effected when the fantasy is directed at her, which often leads to a snowballing effect when the person having the fantasy starts noticing how attractive she is(or rather she has become to them). In theory she can pick which fantasy of those around her she assumes the form of, fighting off unwanted fantasy forms, but as the change is both gradual and she suffers a blind draw and discard effect sorting through them Lilyan is not good at control(GM and other players should have some say in her transformations, keeping in mind that they are gradual and subtle).

Race/Creature type: Succubus

Bio: Lilyan's parents were both succubus/incubus, but divorced after a wild fling together(and still often see each other, but neither of them 'like to be tied down') and she was mostly raised by her mother. It wasn't the most stable life. It wasn't until late highschool, well after most girls 'develop' that her succubus nature came out and she involuntarily fulfilled the fantasies of several of the boys before graduation(a massive shock to the shy, almost assexual girl). She is currently learning liberal and performing arts at college, and is already a published romance novelist. Unlike her parents she has developed a resentment towards her shape shifting power and often tries to fight it rather than control it(leading to her shifts being involuntary rather than voluntary), and is very uncomfortable when she starts feeling the transformations coming on. The fact that the transformations primarily effect not her physical or mental ability, but peoples perceptions of her, doesn't help much, since Lilyan is often aware that, due to her new form, she's developed a 'sexy accent'(in the mind of whoever was doing the fantasizing) or other habits to go along with her physical form. Strangely she's also disturbed when people around her aren't fantasizing about her, leading to paradoxical emotions of failure and loneliness. Fortunately, while stressful, her life is at least never boring.

[Fiery Firefly]

Name: Constanza "Connie" Romano
Age: 16
Appearance: As a human: rather tall and lanky and very skinny, her transformations and wolf activities cause her to lose calories easily. Has a light olive skin tone, and light brown hair that she wears cropped short. Her eyes are brown also, and she has a light splattering of freckles on her face.

As a werewolf along with turning into a wolf-human thing, she also gains a lot muscle mass as a wolf, and her fur is a silky black.
Race/Creature type: Werewolf
Bio: Connie is the only daughter of a normal human lesbian couple who unknowingly used a werewolf as their sperm donor. She presumed she was a normal human until she had her first transformation at age 15. Ever since her transformation, with no one to really guide her she's constantly been getting in trouble with the law for doing wolfy things she can't control.

[lovely corte]

Name: Elijah 'Ellie' Taylor.
Age: 24.
Appearance: fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/123/8/a/WoW___Murloc_doodle_by_wynahiros.jpg
Race/Creature type: Fishman.
Bio: Native born in California, Elijah grew up in an incredibly supporting, partially submerged household to his Fishman father and his Vampire wife. At home on the waves and the sands, whether on a board or ten thousand leagues beneath the sea, Elijah put his natural born talents to use on the professional circuit.

An all-round nice guy, sociable and loyal, Elijah works part-time on the dock, pearl diving, fishing and sailing in between tournaments.

Name: Mateo Amante.

Age: 27.

Appearance: Short, broad shouldered and well-built, Mateo has a dark olive complexion and a cropped skull, with an unshaven face, perfect teeth and intelligent hazel eyes. He usually adorns himself in form fitting clothing, well suited to show off his build, his right arm slung across his chest.

Race/Creature type: Incubus.

Bio: Wild and free from the start, Mateo came from an incredibly large family, where his original father incubus and mother succubus had an open relationship with over twenty other partners, all of which Mateo considered family and vice versa.

A thrill-seeker at heart, Mateo has almost no standard or limit in regards to anything, living his life in excess. He now works part-time on base for the Marines while nursing an injury he sustained while on duty.

And two I don't think will actually be allowed

Name: Samantha "Sammy Cat" Katherine
Age: 32
Appearance: A perky goth girl, with short 'pixie cut' dark hair. She's not particularly tall, and while she's not heavy she's also somewhat out of shape, but she exudes a sense of life and energy. In her were-form she gains a large amount of muscle mass, her skull and jaws reshape into deadly predatory forms, massive claws grow from her paws, and thick coarse fur over her body that is similar to wire brush bristles and capable of scratching paint if she were to rub up against it. She's still dark 'furred' in this shape, but more feline than canine.
Race/Creature type: Werepanther
Bio: Sammy Cat was born of a very uncommon and nearly unique variation of Therianthropy, having a very strong resemblance to werewolves, excepting a feline alternate form rather than a canine one(and applicable instincts, and a greater mass change during transformation), but also maintaining a vampire like special feeding needs in order to fuel the(involuntary) transformations. As such, while Sammy's parents are now dead, she did learn about her self and knows her limitations and requirements. She works in the medical field, in particular nursing homes, tending to the elderly and infirm, using their frequent passing to feed her need for the "last breath" of a mortal. As such, she has grown to be rather morbid and dark, and also developed a tendency to 'cut loose' and try to force herself to be happy, friendly, and energetic. She's well known on the 'monster scene' though her transformations are less frequent leading others to mistake her for a vampire or some other creature of the nightfall.

Name: Jin Wu
Age: 18
Appearance: Jin is tall and lanky, his almond shaped eyes puffy and his mouth thin lipped and wide. His skintone is pale but asian, making him look somewhat 'yellow'. His hair is always cut very tight, and he has a disturbing tendency not to blink. He dresses himself well, maintaining an immaculate masculine(though utterly nonthreatening) appearance. In his wereform he is a half meter long snake with pale cream colored scales(a touch more yellow than his human skin), though with concentration he can assume halfway forms.
Race/Creature type: Hebi
Bio: Jin was born of a long line of prosperous snake business men(and women) who claim to be able to trace their ancestry back to Xu Xian and his wife, Princess White Snake. Jin however is somewhat less proud, and somewhat less impressive than that would imply, being an awkward, geeky, and unattractive virgin with a tendency towards electrical engineering. This is a particular problem for him, as legend claims that Hebi must find a mate before a certain age or they will become trapped in their snake form and die. Fortunately for Jin he at least is moderately wealthy, and is attending college with no need to worry about his grades or performance(he does keep his grades up in an effort to get a high paying job for when he someday does find a wife, so he can be a good and loyal supporter for her). Hebi as a whole are uncommon were-creatures with involuntary shifting happening not from phases of the moon but from chemical changes in their body. Being startled, drunken, or anything that causes them to lose control of their normally exceptional coordination, reverts them to their 'true form' that of a serpent, and meditation and calmness(focusing of taoist magics) is required to return to regain control over themselves. They do not have a particularly combat suitable form like most were-creatures, their snake form has no venom and while their constricting power is impressively strong they tend to grow smaller rather than larger during their transformations.

Yeah, sorry. No offense or anything, but I'd rather keep it to the stuff listed in the first post (and regular humans).

[JW%]

No worries. I didn't think they'd be allowed, but I had to ask to be sure, right? I just like the idea of the electrical engineer snake boy and we've already seen Sammy Cat in other works(RFF for example, though there she's more a mental therapist than a physical one). I'll stick with Lilyan.

[Penny Royals]

Name: Adora Belante
Age: 28
Appearance: tektek.org/av/1200167
Race/Creature type: Succubus
Bio: Adora Belante is one of the monster world's biggest celebrities. A late-bloomer who turned during highschool, Adora grew up with her human mother after a one-night-stand. She grew up loving popstars of all kinds, as her mother was a groupie in her youth, and cultivated her talents. By the time she was 16, she had signed a legal contract that put her into business. The first several years were hard, doing small gigs and selling albums to friends and family - but at 24, she hit the big time when one of her singles were picked up by a radio station and rocketed to number one. Ever since then Adora's been on the road, touring and releasing two gold albums. She's coming to San Francisco to buy a house for her and her mom to stay at when she's not touring.





Name: Derek Edwards
Age: 21
Appearance: i.imgur.com/C6xDuG1.png
Race/Creature type: Ghost
Bio: Derek grew up with his mother, a vampire, and never knew his father. He went to school with everyone else, and basically was just a normal, artsy kid throughout highschool- but halfway through his second year of college, his mother grew very ill and eventually died. Faced with financial ruin, Derek sold the house and most of his belongings, moving into a tiny, run-down studio apartment and dropping out of college to make a living in the only job he could find at the time - a walmart greeter. He's shy and awkward and hates most interaction with people, mostly out of shame at the fact that he's pretty much living in poverty. He hopes to one day be able to quit his job to be an artist or a photographer.

[Alastor]

Name: Alice Blanc
Age: 18
Appearance: tektek.org/av/1185960
Race/Creature type: Vampire
Bio: Alice is the elder child of a French immigrant, herself a vampire and as was her late-husband. The girl was an 'early bloomer', turning during the summer between elementary and middle school. Being the average teenager, the girl has an adoration of Adora Belante- effectively being the closest equivalent of Lady Gaga to the world. However, her love of the pop star is 'juuuuuust a bit of an obsession' in her own words- much more than the usual fangirl in reality. She only recently has graduated high school, and has been taking care of her younger half-sister while their mother is at work. Alice is something of a brat in personality, with the short patience of someone who has been handed everything in life. The only exceptions to this are if you just-so-happen to be her idol or little sister- then she has the time to listen and help, as well as acting at least a little less bratty. Not by much mind you, but she's not going to whine about having to do something nearly as much as she usually does. The girl is also prone to having freak outs- usually when taken by surprise- that render her a lump of fidgeting social incompetence.
