My bad...I've decided to basically have the elapsed time be a year...
And...the main base camp for the Wolves is in Northern California...near San Francisco...

Oh San Francisco, Werewolves on Cable Cars, soaring down the hilly roads, going off the rails on the Crazy Cable Car and all.

Not too mention you have to watch out for Bullitts, San Francisco is incredibly dangerous compared to the rest of the world.

Player- WARORK93

Character- Syd Harlow

Race and clan/archetype- Werewolf/ Grubrah

Age- 170 years

Physical Description- Tall, about 6'5, strongly built, thick arms, hard in body and countenance, scars across the torso, a few around the arms and legs, two along the right cheek, one along the bridge of the nose, unkempt mane of dark brown hair and rugged facial hair, grey eyes

Equipment/ clothes- Wears a black wide brimmed fedora, a black T-shirt, leather biker vest, a pair of dark green, well worn cargo pants, and black, steel toed boots.

Weapons- two engraved schofield revolvers in a leather holster belt, an 1894 Winchester repeater on a leather strap, a sawn off double barrel shotgun with stock, A silver bladed headhunter knife (You'll see)

Backstory- Enter the American southwest, circa 1870, the wild west, The lawlessness, the wilderness, the supernatural.....Harlow grew up among the filth and scum of society, he became so averted to such beings that he felt compelled to combat them wherever he could find them. In doing so he became a Texas ranger and battled the criminal element for years on the frontier. His life was as normal as it could be for a lawman of those times but it was not destined to stay that way for long. Little did he know that one of the criminals he had so earnestly chased was an elusive hunter of the supernatural. He evaded Harlow for months and was finally lost to him after a long chase. This was not the end of the story, however, the hunter was also being chased by a pack of wolves and soon Harlow found himself in the middle of the battle between the two forces. Framed by the hunter, Harlow was beset by multiple wolves alone. When the smoke had cleared the only being left alive, though wounded and bloody, was Harlow. The victory was hollow, however, and to Harlow, worse than death. He was bitten and so cursed to be a monster for the rest of his life. Now, shunned by men, hunted by many, he travels alone, on the fringes of society, shunning his less than human form, a lost soul in a now larger than mortal life world. He was chased across the entire continental US and so, in a bid to escape his pursuers, he began to trek across Europe.

He found himself in Prague and stopped there for just a day or two to get his bearings, and that's when it all started. He was tracked down to his hotel room in a town outside of Prague by the servants of Natasha...the Lycan Queen who had tracked him with spies earlier in his time in Germany. He escaped, killing one wolf and wounding another...traveling through Prague's warehouse district, he did the one thing he was best at, he hid. It was on this night that he came across the most terrifying wolf he'd ever seen. Ironically enough, Harlow met Ryan O'Brian in a claw to claw fight on the warehouse floor. A fight that, admittedly, he lost, albeit however slightly. Harlow expected to die that night, but instead, The big wolf let him live, the two made a pact that night to help each other fight against the clutches of the Queen. Harlow took Ryan's pack, two she wolves, and hid out in the wooded area around the village of Hubluko Drevo, they stayed in a small cabin that night, waiting for Ryan to show up from whatever business he was conducting in the city. Harlow stood watch and in the morning, while walking in the woods, he noticed the village in an uproar. The villagers chased him back to the cabin, after a small chase and skirmish, the wolves were able to escape but found themselves on the doorstep of the Lycan Queen herself. The she wolves managed to escape while Harlow held off the guards, he was captured and interrogated by the Queen herself who gave him a choice, work for her and gain something he had not had in a century or more; a home. Although he saw the benefits of allying himself with the queen, he initially declined, some inner feeling of humanity causing him to keep true to his pact with Ryan. He left the Queen's mansion and later found Ryan's pack in the same warehouse that he had been in the night before. They had found two hunters who had turned wolf, one was Holly's sister; Vegas, the other was a man named Andy Bruss who Harlow found out later had some bad blood with Ryan. The big wolf eventually showed up with his alpha female, a she wolf named Star and their son Cass. It wasnt long until they were joined by another wolf, Dez who had originally been spying on them for Natasha, afterwards the warehouse was attacked by a team of the Queen's wolves who killed Lisa and Vegas making off with Ryan's son. In their frenzied rage, Harlow and the combined pack split up, Andy and Dez going one direction, the pack going in another and meeting up with other rebels, two throne loyalists named Musater and the "rightful" king Longar.

The two groups decided to band together for the time being, and that was until Ryan decided to take fate into his own hands and surrender himself to the Lycan Queen. Harlow tried to stop the big wolf but was unable to convince him, the rest of the wolves decided to find Andy and Dez, who had rendezvoused with the rest of the hunters at Prague's river docks. There was a battle involving a sect of insane hunters, religious zealots that nearly killed them all, they were defeated, although Dez and his father Carl were hurt badly. Harlow pleaded the wolves' case to the hunters who declined to help them despite their arguments. Harlow and the rest of the rebels retreated and it was then that Harlow began to question where his allegiances laid. Eventually, he decided that it was in his own best interest, and damn anyone else's, that he take Natasha' original offer of allegiance. But he knew that he could not go back to the queen empty handed after refusing her. He devised a plan and cleverly hid it from the loyalist, telling only Holly whom he knew would want to see Ryan again. And so the rebel wolves prepared a deceptively simple plan, prepared to go, and took their assets to surprise Natasha and her loyal army of wolves. It was then that Harlow struck, with the help of Natasha's own, guard, he turned the tables on the rebels and made sure none of them escaped besides Dez himself. Harlow delivered Carl, a pureblood and a traitor to Natasha who promptly did away with him. His loyalty and allegiance proven, Harlow was given a place in Natasha's forces and has since taken to his position with gusto, finally embracing that wilder side of himself.

Other info- In the past few years he has met (forcibly so) another Lycan claiming to be his descendant.

Virtue- Tenacity- Harlow has a fiery spirit like no other, he may not be the biggest or strongest wolf to have ever lived, but he does not know the word "failure" or "impossible." His drive is unbreakable, as a result he has been dealt wounds before that were known to have killed lycans larger than him and live through them. He has walked the line between life and death more times than most wolves could dream and he has come back from the precipice each time through sheer force of will.

Vice- Selfishness- In the end, Harlow is only interested in what benefits himself. He has been known to betray others, to commit horribly immoral and some would consider evil acts for his own benefit. Though he has been known to stick his neck out for those close to him sometimes, there is a fine limit to his small amount of generosity.

Vehicle- An 80's model black Harley Rocker.

Character- Alex Whitlow

Race and clan/archetype- Wolf/ Shunkaha

Age: 72 years

Physical Description- Average height, 6'3, long, lanky, long legs and arms, distinctly Native American characteristics, especially in the face, a few scars on the torso, one along the outside of his right eye near the temple, tightly cut mohawk, black hair, grey eyes

Equipment/ Clothes- Black Jeans, dark green T shirt, brown fleeced leather jacket, a quiver and belt with holsters for holding weapons, brown hunting boots.

Weapons- Sliver plated Kukri knife, Compound bow, two nickel plated, engraved, Colt M1911A1 pistols

Backstory- Alex was born to a career soldier father and a Native American mother named Sara. He was birthed at the outbreak of the second World War and his father, being a man of the military, died in the European theater of that conflict. For many years of Alex's childhood, he stayed with his mother and family on their plantation in Oklahoma. After he reached adolescence, however, stories from other reservations began to filter through to his family's ears. Men came in the night, abducted a few of them, and killed others for no apparent reason. The authorities were unable or unwilling to help and so Sara decided to take her son and leave. They lived contently off of the reservation for many years, carving out a life together, though Alex was often lonely as his mother left him frequently for a few days at a time for reasons she always justified as necessary. As the late sixties rolled around, Alex was drafted into the army for the war in Southeast Asia. And there was where his life changed forever. He and his platoon were cut off while on patrol one night and surrounded. As they all sat silently, waiting for their doom, something else came out of the jungle at them, something none of them had expected even in their wildest nightmares. Pale figures swooped out of the brush and from under the ground at them, they ripped the men apart with their bare hands, bullets couldn't touch them, neither could explosives. One by one Alex's men fell, in a last ditch effort the remaining men called airstrikes on their position. When the smoke cleared, Alex was the only one of his men left alive, but he was not alone, the jungle had been cleared by flames but the creatures remained, they laughed as they pinned Alex to a tree and stuck a cold blade in his stomach. That was the night Alex learned what he really was and he was the only one to walk away from that fight...

Other info- The past year or so of Alex's life has been spent searching for someone of great importance to his family name, recently he has found the wolf he sought though he may later regret his efforts

Virtue- Reflexes- Alex is one of the fastest wolves alive. He is naturally quick, swift, balanced, and accurate. He may not throw the hardest punches or bring the most strength to the table but there are not many who can land a solid blow on him as his litheness allows him to easily pivot out of the way of danger and strike back before the enemy can make his next move.

Vice- Arrogance- Alex considers himself above the animalistic nature of other wolves to the point where he often secludes himself from others of his own kind.

Race and clan/archetype- Wolf/Mgral

Physical Description- Average height, 5'9, strong but compact build, Caucasian, red, curly hair and blue eyes, obviously attractive

Equipment/ Clothes- Green bomber jacket, white top, jeans, sneakers

Backstory- Katherine grew up in a well off family living in the Midwest boom-towns of America during the nineteenth century. She was the oldest of three daughters born to the Whitlow family, the sire of which was a wealthy businessman who often made deals with foreign dignitaries. Her life was generally uneventful until she became a young woman. One fateful day, an associate of her father's came to her door...it was on that day that her family, her mother and her siblings learned of her father's true profession. He was a hunter of the supernatural and he had been killed in the line of duty. Needless to say, this was a lot for Katherine to take, her eyes were opened to a world she hadn't known existed and she spent several years afterwards listlessly wandering the country, wondering what to do with herself. In the city of San Antonio, she met a man named Syd Harlow, who, wandering himself, swept her off her feet. The two were together for a year or more and it was after a night of passion that Harlow revealed a secret to her. He was a werewolf, the same beast that had killed her father those years ago. Internally she was shocked beyond belief but externally she tried not to show it. Sadly, she could not reconcile herself to stay with Harlow and left him soon afterwards. She had nothing and led a miserable existence for nearly another year. It was during this time that she found she was pregnant, but before she could figure out what to do with herself, a gruff wolf attacked her in the dead of night and wounded her. The wolf was unkind and sadistic, keeping Katherine with him for many months as his personal toy until he let his guard down and payed for it with his life at the end of her new claws. Katherine continued her new life the only way she knew how, alone, never happy, always surviving...

Virtue- Manipulation: Over Katherine's unnaturally long life she has learned how to get what she wants and needs and isn't afraid to use nearly everything she is able to her advantage.

Player: Chowderhead
Character: Musater
Race/Affiliation: Nrajah, All ties have been severed.
Physical Description: 6’6”, wears a suit everywhere he goes, He is missing his ring and pink on his left hand, and is covered by scars and still healing wounds. Ancient Tattoos of a long lost land cover his back and shoulders.
Equipment: Esmerella’s .45 caliber beast, “The Widowmaker”, a M4 carbine w/ strobe light attachment, wooden ammunition, a wallet containing the fortune of a thousand plundered cities, machete strapped to his thigh.
Backstory: Born in 1383, Musater was placed into this world in a small village in the deep woods of Transylvania. When he was in his 30s, his sister got lost in the deep woods. When he went after her, he found her dead on the forest floor, a few weeks after she left. Whilst carrying her corpse back to their village,, she re-animated, and bit her brother before running off. Stumbling around in the woods, he began to black out. When he awoke, he was stronger, taller, and had a lust for the flesh of his former kin. He was the son of the Lycan King’s brother, Longar. With his sister and his “father”, he would become one of the world’s greatest assassins and influence nations, continents, and even planets with his kills. While living in Prague, he received a package in the mail. His sister's head. As the newly elected Mayor of Prague's assistant (Thanks to his very powerful ties with his fellow Lycaelons), he has begun a secret war against the people who killed his sister. This war, however, led him to some horrific discoveries of both himself and of the world around him. He went on some search and capture missions for Natasha, but after completing them, he went rogue, killing Natasha’s highest general with two silver bullets to the head. Using a Pureblood as bait, he tried to lure out more of Natasha’s men so he could get answers. However, the plan went horribly wrong, and the kidnapped Pure Blood escaped, and his wife died. With no-one to turn to but his recently summoned Father, he broke down. That breakdown was interrupted when the God of the Hunt, Cernunnos, came and whisked him away. He planted him into an area full of Wolves and hunters alike, and told him to make allies before the impending war. Musater agreed, and made allies with Dez, Carl, Harlow, and Holly. They tried to get hunters to help them, but they would not join them. At the time of the final battle, he gave Dez, Carl, Harlow, and Holly the keys to the armoury and to a MRAP, a mighty armoured car. After they left, Longar and Musater flew around the world, in search of old allies. They only found piles of bodies and skeletons in long-forgotten graves. Having no-where else to turn to, they decided to find the last ally they had.

Vice: Ira
Virtue: Temperantia

Primary Safehouse: Nowhere. Nowhere is safe.
Primary Vehicle: Musater’s favourite car, the Nissan GT-R.

Player: Halonachos
Character: Andy Bruss
Race/Affiliation: Werewolf Nrajah, enslaved to Claudius Sylvanus of House Julii.
Information: 6' 1", brown hair and eyes, slight muscular build, 23+ years old(depending on time between first and this RP). Andy is also missing his right hand, in his wolf form he is covered in brown hair, but is much thinner than most other wolves thanks to his neglect of his wolf form due to the fact that he has to go on three legs instead of four.

Backstory:

Andy began hunting the supernatural when his parents died at the age of 16 and through the times he has earned many skills and traits that some find useful and others find distasteful. In Morrison City Andy learned the skills of bargaining with vampires in an effort to estrange them from their kindred and also learned the more important skills of supernatural torture and mutilation. He is prone to fits of anger if a friend or loved one is killed and has proved time and time again to be willing to sacrifice many to save one.

In Empire City Andy received several weapons to aid in the fight against the supernaturals, the Sword of Ra, a blessed weapon that excels in killing vamps and a dagger designed specifically to deal with wolves. The sword was brought by an older hunter named Miranda who, along with several hunters brought into Empire City, fought a group of vampires called the Fallen in order to save a fellow hunter named Vegas. The battle was hard fought, but Andy's plan to rescue Vegas had held together mostly well; the hunters had found Vegas and had rescued her, but at the loss of two fellow hunters, their leader Trask, and a big hulking man named Jimbo. A bomb that had been rammed into the building was set off, entombing most of the Fallen inside. In the final battle of Empire City, Andy and the others engaged the Fallen and several wolves around the area of the crater that was once a theater, Andy claimed the head of one of the Fallen, Azazeal, and met another hunter who would become his wife, Wendy. A younger hunter named Dez was wounded by a wolf and ran off, Andy decided against hunting him down... his past was already wearing thin on him and guilt prevented him from carrying the action out.

In Prague Andy's first son was born thanks to magic Pontius had used on Wendy, Wendy herself was turned afterwards and later was killed by the hunters in a fight in the Crooked House. In that fight, Andy and Vegas killed Pontius but the group suffered the loss of Sven, Ace, and Jack. Andy soon died in a hospital but was returned to life by the bite of Vegas, who had been turned into a wolf while in Prague. Joker took Andy's new son back to America where he could be taken care of by Wendy's mother while Andy and Vegas ran off to spend the night of the full moon somewhere safe. They managed to find other wolves, Holly and Lisa, Holly was Vegas's sister and the group went to a warehouse to wait for the others. In the warehouse Andy met Harlow, Star, and again met Ryan, who's brother Andy had killed in Empire City, fortunately for Andy, Ryan spared Andy's life thanks to the mental breakdown Andy was having. There was another fight in the warehouse and Lisa and Vegas were both killed, Andy's mind spiraled out of control and he began to hear voices but managed to stay coherent enough to lead Dez away from the others and hopefully towards rescue by a returning Joker. In a fight near the docks, Andy was reunited with his wife who had managed to return back to life as a human thanks to her death as a kindred in the Crooked House and some inter-dimensional travel. In the end, Andy, Wendy, and their son Michael finally returned home only to be confronted with more vampires. Claudius had been following Andy's bloodline for centuries and revealed to Andy how his parents died and how Andy had received his talisman that he wore around his neck. Claudius told Andy that if he agreed to sign a contract along with his wife that they would be taken care of and that like his father, Andy had created enemies everywhere. Andy realized the truth behind Claudius's words and signed the contract along with Wendy, enslaving his blood line to Claudius. Unknown to both of them, they had just created a trend common in the Crooked World, lycans becoming the slaves of the kindred.

And of course Andy's wife, Wendy.

The army has deserted the scythe and hammer for freedom and by doing so made the hunters weak and left on the brink of legend. Atticus showed talent for hunting the fanged assailants as well as negotiating with their natural enemies the were wolves. The organization decided that the capitalist born talent may be useful and made him into an apprentice when he was sixteen. For six years it took him to reach their standards at the age of twenty two and another year to prove he shouldn't be used as bait anymore. Now on his twenty forth birthday the organization has brought up a name that stirred deeply repressed memories for Atticus. A jumbled and erratic vision of the dark Moscow ally shows two unfamiliar figures gorging themselves on the bodies of his parents.
"Sevk. These Americans are delicious! Maybe we should go for more tourists sometime next week?" The vision broke itself as several of his friends had grabbed him and pushed on the ground as his pistol pointed at the leader, a man known as G.K.B.

When she was 19 she was ambushed and her throat was severely damage nearly destroying her vocal cords. She can still speak but causes her great pain, speaks through sign language.

I know that, but where is it? NY?

I think Fitzz said it was nearish chicago last time.

Ah. I see.

Are we posting PCs now? Or is it just the vets?

So...confused...

Its supposed to be just the vets, our characters are pretty established right now and our classes have already been chosen from previous RPs. New guys should wait until the classes are concrete, for example shroud has several bits of wargear and the whole wargear thing has not been decided yet. Although I just thought of a way to somewhat balance the system, PC gets 50, major NPC gets 25, and minor NPC gets 25, but if you want to you can sacrifice everything to get a 100pt weapon.

Also, Empire City really had no real place, it was just a representation of a run-down urban sprawl.

thanks for clearing that up,.


I have been toying around in bannermaker, this is an interesting effect, IMHO.

what do you think? (face not being seen is the idea)
(I did the :Sillyboy style" and made it "Featuring Ineptus As" with the 'Bleeding Cowboys" format. you guys are the vets and know what works and what dos not.)

Stylistically, I would place the text in a spot on the picture that doesn't cover the character...or at least is not covering him/her as much as possible...

I tried. the banner maker is a bit limited but I will see if I can change it before going to sleep.

EDIT:

that was the best I could get, for now. more tomorrow.

g'night.
