If I may, could I join this as a shifter? I have a concept for a character coming along, and this seems like a pretty cool concept for a RP. If not that’s fine though!

I feel like some people are really going to get startled when Emilio first summons the dead in front of them, hell, most of the time he summons them before he gets his siblings.
I mean, he does end up cutting into something and dripping out blood. It's better blood than energy, he always says.
He'll stare someone right in the eyes, pull out a knife, and slice open his arm and drip blood onto the ground. He'll keep eye contact through-out the entire thing.

Yes ofc! We needed another shifter anyways! I think that about closes off the role play.

@Anemone eco

Here's my template!

Name: Percival Catoire

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Questioning

Family: The Catoire family; the Reapers

Appearance: He stands at around 5'11" and has very spidery features. A vast majority of his height is in his legs. He has light muscling in his arms and abdomen, but that is it. He has skin that is dipping into an ivory colour, but is just slightly more tan. His eyes are large, almond-shaped, and have tawny irises. Though they are a bit heavier in the brown factor than orange. They also have gold flecks that can also be seen well when looked at closely. His hair rests neatly atop his head in smooth, silky, burgundy strands. They reach down to the base of his neck and is a bit darker at the roots.

Personality: He likes to appear much more confident than he is. He tends to refrain from joking around and holds his head high even though he is more sensitive than he shows. Deeply he just wishes for acceptance and approval within the things he does and has easily shattered confidence. Percival generally seems to be all serious and a no-nonsense type of guy. He tries to take charge a lot and keep up the reputation of the family. He usually keeps a calm demeanour or one of general lack of amusement. Though if he feels like he is being tested or if just generally hurt, he won't hesitate to snap at someone. However, it doesn't really happen too often.

Usual Clothing: Typically, Percival wears dressy clothes like long-sleeve button-ups and tailcoats. He keeps a general colour scheme of black, white, and gold. Though sometimes the gold is substituted for another colour such as red. It really just depends on his mood.

Backstory: From a young age, Percival was taught about the status and reputation of the Catoire family and that it was something to be taken seriously. He kept this in his heart and grew up as a very by-the-book boy, which ties into his current personality. Deep down, he wished to protest some of the rules, but he didn't want to come off as a disappointment. So eventually, he settled and continued on as the rule-following boy he was. His parents praised him for his obedience and it pleased him. Eventually, it had become drilled into his head that the rules he has been taught were all right, and justified. (I'm shit with backstories, cut me some slack. :') )

Likes: Being praised, observing people, taking tranquil walks, drinking tea, his own clothing choice, music, art, reaping souls, and reading.

Dislikes: Excessively bright lights, hugs, spiders, having his ideals questioned, the colour green.

Other: A bit of a rough template and a bad one at that, but is he alright?

Hi, yes, I need Emilio to scare the shit out of at least one person by popping up from water, or anything and just going "Hi! I was robbin' some graves!"

Deleted user

I mean, I did some ajusting to Emilio's profile and now he's 21 and gay, might add some more to his personality too.
So what I'm trying to say is, Imagine Emilio, the fucking bastard, running the family? Also, he would probably just shove it over to Fio like "N o t h a n k s b r o"

Deleted user

Bro, should they be twins?
Do we want this dumbass and the brain cell to be twins becuase I'd be up for that

@ElderGod-Icefire

I mean…that would certainly be interesting (altho I still want Fio to be the oldest, please) So we can totally do that if you like!

Deleted user

Oh yeah, Fio can deff be the oldest, I think it'd be funny to see Fio being all of Emilio's impulse controll becuase s a m e

Deleted user

Feel free to change anything to work for each family. I think we’re waiting for 2 more templates and if everyone’s on we can start.

@The-Magician group

Name: Serafine Lila Ardoine
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Family: Ardoine; Seers
Appearance: Serafine has a slightly darker skin compared to her younger siblings, though this is merely a tan of sorts, with slight splotches of light vitiligo across her shoulders, collarbones and thighs. She stands around 5'7, with a slender, curvaceous build. Like her younger brother, her hair falls in messy curls in an ashy, white colour, though there are hints of brown running through the ends. Both of her eyes are of the milky tone, signifying that she has now completely lost her physical sight. Running down her arms in petite, white cursive, is a series of excerpts from the Seer scriptures, while a string of moon phases in white run down her spine.
Personality: Serafine, like Daus, is something of a dreamer. She’s quiet by nature, but she’s a determined soul who will do anything for what she believes is right. She’s charming, friendly, and has no difficulty finding the balance in an argument. She is unusually wise for her age, many make jokes about her being a grandmother because of how wise she is, but she doesn’t mind. There are often times when she thinks too deep into something and has been known to inadvertently scare people with her thoughts, but from the age of 16 she learned to keep her thoughts to herself unless it was deemed important.
Usual Clothing: She loves wearing bright colours. Her wardrobe consists of flowing yellow dresses, purple sashes, and vibrant orange skirts. Usually she is seen wearing a cream ankle length skirt that has a slit running up to her thigh on one side, and she wears this with a soft yellow, short sleeved button up shirt (tucked into the skirt). She usually has a silky orange bandana tied into her hair (sort of like Esmeralda from Hunchback of Notre Dame), and she always has a plethora of gold bands on her wrists, and a couple of rings on each finger. Around her neck is where she always keeps at least two crystal necklaces, which she changes around depending on what her instincts are telling her that day.
Backstory: Serafine is one of the oldest of her parent’s children, so for a long time she was expected to set an example to the younger ones with the help of her older brother. When he was murdered, she was given the role of looking after the younger ones herself, but by this age she had started to lose her physical sight. She has left the family estate many times to visit people who were looking for guidance, so she knows a fair few people around the town, however this doesn’t stop her from being somewhat cautious around the other families——especially the Necromancers. She will never show that she is even a little bit scared.
Likes/Dislikes: Likes— fruit, dancing, reading, performing rituals, the night sky, meeting people. Dislikes— people who disrespect her family name and what they stand for.
Other: She isn't that fond of her sister Delphi, but she tries to stay civil with her. Serafine is also very good at getting what she wants from men.

(I’ll have my other character up in a sec, just switching to my laptop because typing on my phone is a pain)

Deleted user

Wow love her, and your attention to detail. She’s a perfect addition to the seer family.

Deleted user

After that, would we have all the characters? I'm so excited to start!!

Deleted user

I think we would. If i’m forgetting anyone I don’t think we’ll get quite far enough so they can slip themselves in.

Deleted user

Yay! I bounce!
Oh jeez, I just realized I'm coming off as really weird to you and I haven't introduced myself.
Hi, I'm Reed, the local Feral friend who bounces when happy becuase I just figured out that it was me stimming and that makes me happy that I have a word!
We've probably met before but my memory is shit

Deleted user

Yeah you’d be missing me lol. I’m almost finished my girl though

Perfect! Once you get that in and Coffee finishes her other character we'll start!

@Mojack group

Name: Ester Mounier
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual, with no preference (or at least no clear preference)
Family: The Shifters ; Mounier Family
Appearance: Ester is fairly tall at 5’10”, with a lighter, smaller build. Her skin is warm ivory, with a freckle on the thumb of the left hand and a few sparsely dotting both arms. Her hair is medium length, a chestnut brown. The style that she typically keeps it in is rarely down, usually done up, although when down one could notice her slight curls. Typically, when styling her hair, she does a bun. Typically, Ester’s eyes are a cognac brown. She typically sports makeup, although would never admit to this, and is very subtle with how much she wears.
Personality: One could consider Ester a delicate and sweet lady upon meeting her, although those in her family know quite the opposite as well as those that know her. Ester is not a bad person, inherently. She’s just a little bit of an opportunist. Even towards those she dislikes or has a ‘lower opinion’ of, she tends to act polite, keeping herself calm most, if not all of the time. Ester tends to have a bit of a serious side to her, but that’s a bit of a rarer side (surprisingly.) Most of the time, she acts quite lightheartedly. However, Ester is always on guard, especially when around the other families - which she is quite wary of.
Usual Clothing: Tends to wear lighter, flowing clothing - ease of movement. Typically short dresses, usually a coat overtop the jacket especially when going places. Generally, her dresses are a lighter, often white or cream colour, while anything she wears overtop is a darker shade to compliment it. Will occasionally sport a bonnet. Most of the time, she carries an parasol with her, presumably to shade herself from the sun, although she also tends to have it with her at night. Typically wears long, thin gloves.
Backstory: Ester was a quiet child, growing up, always observing. Often described as shy by relatives, never engaging unless forced to. This changed as she grew up - perhaps her shyness was just a quirk that she grew out of, although even as an adult Ester retains a softspoken nature (or at least, cover). She was taught manners and rarely did Ester ever question what she was taught, nor did she need it to be re-teached. She just learned. She values family, ‘family first’ as was taught to her. Nowadays, Ester typically presents herself as a woman of the family, just another member of the Mouniers.
Likes/Dislikes: Sweet things - in terms of food, anyways. Ester is not much of a food person in general. Also likes soup. Reptiles, typically snakes. Calligraphy is another one of her favourites, as well as the study of history and language. In terms of dislikes, Ester is not big on those that provide no space to her as well as sudden physical contact. Also dislikes those who ask too many questions, and those who do not leave her alone even if she makes it clear she doesn’t want to be in their presence. Dislikes olives.
Other: Ester is left handed, a fact which she hides out in the public or around others.
