Mystic Falls

[Ashley (;]

OOC: Time/weather/etc., will be run by me and Alex. If you have any major plots that affect all of the characters, please run it by us first.

Somewhat off of Vampire Diaries.

Mystic Falls. Sounds pretty, eh? Well, it is; but only as of recently. Around 350 years ago, the place was full of people who weren't exactly... human. They believed they were the highest on the food chain, and it's safe to say that the humans who came to live in the city didn't last very long.

These people weren't just wild cannibals, though. They had their own government and their own rules that they lived by. At least, most of them. The leaders had eventually realized that if they didn't keep up at least some sort of a facade, humans would stop coming to the area; but they'd realized this too late.

Some of the humans decided they wanted revenge, and the town of Mystic Falls that they swore their own ancestors had founded. The vampires weren't prepared for an all out invasion. A party was being held at the Blade residence (the leader of the vampires) when they were ambushed, staked, and carried off to a secret place where no one could find the bodies.

Everyone thought that was the end, and life in Mystic Falls was quite peaceful after that, no vampires anywhere. Little did the humans know, the vampires weren't the only non-humans living in the city...

Vampires

Vampires in Mystic Falls do NOT sparkle under any circumstances. They will burn in the sunlight unless they have a special ring. Most vampires don't know about this, so if they're not one of the few who escaped the city, they'll only be indoors during the day, until someone makes them one. Vampires cannot enter a house unless invited inside, and most do drink human blood. They are also extremely fast and strong, but appear just like regular humans.

Werewolves

There are a few different stages of Werewolf. You can be one but not realize it until a full moon (There's more in the TV show, I think, but I missed those episodes, so feel free to explain to me so I can edit.). The newer ones cannot change except under a full moon, but there are some well-trained ones who can change at any time of night.

Witches

The witches of Mystic Falls had existed here for generations. But while most witch families have moved away, recently more witches have moved in to the small town.
Witches learn spells from spell books and different spells requires different ingredients and other stuff. Some psychic magic does exist, but it's not terribly common.

Rules

• Make sure to make at least one human. The city is supposed to be full of them, afterall.
  
• Also, make at least one guy, too, please.
  
• I would prefer if most of the vampires weren't all escaped from the city. Me and Alex already have one, so maybe one other person at most? You can make new vampires entering the city, too.
  
• No, not every day is a full moon.
  
• If you've actually read all of this, please post "Delena " in your post.
  
• Character drama is good. Member drama is not. Keep it away.
  
• First person only.
  
• No biting/killing/kidnapping other characters unless given permission.
  
• No Mary Sues who's only purpose in life is get themselves killed.
  
• Please, for the love of God, do not make every human a Bella Swan who wants to be a vampire. Humans are supposed to be SCARED of vampires.
  
• Speaking of Twilight bashing, we don't fall in love at first sight here.
  
• If your charrie has been claimed, please say so in Other.
  
• PM me if you have any questions.
  
• Stelena fans can gtfo. ... Kidding.

Biography: Isabel is one of the very few vampires who's actually survived. In fact, besides her twin brother Icarus, she doesn't know of anyone else who's survived. Isabel was having way too much fun on her own to actually go to the "mandatory party meeting" when everyone else was killed. The worst part? She's never even seemed to care. In her opinion, as long as she's got her brother, she doesn't need anyone else. Friendships are for the weak.

The only reason he stays is because he knows the townspeople love to spread around the stories of the vampires, and they're way too occupied with their so-called myths to notice a lone wolf in the middle of it all.

Though, he was turned at the same day as his sister. And since those moments, when they realized what they were, they've been together ever since.

Name: "Shepard"
Gender: Male
Age: 24 years old
Race: Human
Picture:
Personality: Outgoing, argumentative, witty, proud, loyal, optimistic, friendly.
Biography: Being constantly on the move isn't exactly out of the ordinary for Shepard. His mom died after she gave birth to him, and when he was only five, his dad went to jail for murder. After that, Shepard was shipped off to the nearby orphanage. There were maybe four other kids in there, and the place was falling apart. He didn't associate with the others, and they were perfectly content to leave him (and each other) alone. Nothing extremely interesting happened there, and Shepard got out as soon as he turned eighteen, not wanting to spend another minute there. Except now he was out on the streets with no money and only a high school diploma. He went around for a while, trying to get a job, but no one wanted to hire some kid fresh out of high school with no job experience. After a while, Shepard got tired of it and took matters into his own hands. He started to... take things from people who weren't intelligent enough to keep said things safe. Yeah, that worked. In short, Shepard started stealing - turned into a thief. One day, he apparently picked the wrong mark, though, because as he was rummaging through a jewelry box in this huge house, he found himself being held to the wall and choked by an invisible force. That was how he met Anna. Shepard talked fast and apparently peaked her interest when he offered to let her join him as a partner, and she decided not to kill him. The two of them are very close these day, and they often trick people together so they can steal their things.
Tattoos/Piercings/Birthmarks/etc.: Just the piercings shown in the picture. And a tongue piercing.
Other: He goes by Shepard or Shep, but his name's actually Lucien Shepard. Claimed.

Name: Annalise Cahors
Gender: Female
Age: 22 years old
Race: Witch
Picture:
Personality: Stubborn, determined, clever, quick, fighter, loyal, sarcastic.
Biography: Anna left home when she was seventeen years old, leaving behind a half insane mother and a younger sister who she still worries about to this day. Anna's usually not the worrying type, but when it comes to Ivory, she doesn't do much else. Since she left, Anna hasn't really done much. School was never her thing, so college wasn't an option. So she got herself a house in Mystic Falls, far away from her power-hungry mother and little sister. For a while, she just practiced her magic in solitude, though she'd always been good at it. Anna was never the kind of person to go out there and meet people, so she kept to herself for the most part. Until one night, when some thief broke into her house to attempt to steal some of the jewelry she'd stolen from her mother. Well, she took care of that... sort of. When the thief offered her a proposition to let her help him trick people, she couldn't refuse. Excitement was good, and this would be exciting. Now, she and Shepard are partners-in-crime and best friends.
Tattoos/Piercings/Birthmarks/etc.: Her bright red hair is kind of distinguishing, and the fact that she doesn't exactly wear girly clothing. Ever.
Other: Call her Anna unless you have a death wish. Claimed.

Icarus

"Her?" I said loudly as I jerked my head toward the blond and blue-eyed bimbo that walked toward the bar. I did not have to be discrete or whisper or anything like that, the people in the bar were either too depressed or distracted to care. I turned to my sister, leaning against the table that we had grabbed. The place was still rather empty, but it was quickly filling up with people. This place was turning into a real buffet.

Ian


The beer in my hand remained cold and practically untoutched. It was all part of the scene I was putting up for the night... and I had learned that props were the key to a believable character. All the tables were occupied at this moment but it did not bother me. I stood straight, looking around the room casually while my fangs burned in my mouth. I had to eat. And soon.

Allegra

I held my guitar firmly in my arms. I tapped my foot impatiently. Two minutes, I thought as I glanced up at the clock for the millionth time that night. This is actually a real bar. While this wasn't the first time I had played in front of an audience before, the owners of whatever crappy location I was at had always tried to give me the worse deal possible. Or the best deal possible, from their point of view. But this time I had gotten exactly what I expected. A gig in a bar in front of more than ten people. What could go wrong?
Suddenly someone called my name and a few people applauded. I took a deep breathe as I stepped on to the stage.

Eric

I was walking over to the familiar car, getting there before Shepard and patiently waiting at the passenger side. It had just gotten dark and we were heading toward some restaurant to meet some girl. All right, it wasn't 'some' girl. It was Shepard's friend. But I shifted my weight and sighed, feeling my stomach screaming for food.
After waking up past noon I figured I wouldn't eat anything so that I would actually be hungry during dinner. That had been a huge mistake.
"So, where are we going again?" I asked Shepard, yawning loudly. I ran a hand through my hair, in a bad attempt at combing it down to look presentable.

[Callie]

Shepard

I unlocked the car for him and opened the door to the driver's seat, getting in and putting the keys into the ignition. "McDonalds," I told him with a grin. "It's classy, right?" With our luck, Anna was already there and had already ordered. When it came to food, you really couldn't make her wait. I had made her a bet that she couldn't wait until we got there, though, and she'd accepted, so we'd see.
I just felt glad that Eric was finally meeting my partner-in-crime. I mean, he knew what I did, but I hadn't actually told hm who it was that I worked with. He'd probably figure it out, eventually. Eric was a smart guy. Well, and Anna was rather... violent. She would definitely be seen as a criminal if she looked the part instead of looking like some petite, tomboyish little girl.

[alex]

Eric

My mouth instantly began to water. "Oh that sounds magical. I am going to eat so much--"I paused, sighing happily. "We can't get there soon enough." I turned to him. "So, what do we do if her and I hate each other?"

[Callie]

Shepard

I laughed and shook my head, pressing down on the gas pedal and heading for the McDonalds. "I don't think you'll hate each other. If worst comes to worst, you can bond over your love of McDonalds; she picked the restaurant," I explained with a big grin, turning the volume on the radio down a bit so I could actually hear Eric.

[alex]

Eric

I turned to face straight forward as a big grin spread across my face. "Let's hope so." I reached over and turned on the radio, tapping my foot to the beat of the song (that I had never heard before, but I made a note to look it up later).

[Callie]

Shepard

I just smiled faintly as we pulled into the parking lot and I got out, slamming my door behind me and stretching. "You nervous?" I asked him with a slight laugh. I'd told Anna to be nice, but since when did she listen to me?

[alex]

Eric

I got out of the car and turned to him, raising an eyebrow. "Nervous? No. Hungry? Yes. If we wait out here any longer I will eat your hand." I nodded seriously before marching toward the 'restaurant'.

[Callie]

Anna

The door opened, and I saw Shepard, followed by the guy I assumed was his friend, walking through the door. I took this as my chance and slid hard to the left, pushing the guy that was boring me to death out of the seat next to me. "Sorry, my friends are here," I told him with a sweet smile, still trying to resist the urge to throw both the salt shaker and the pepper shaker into his face. What kind of weirdo tried to pick girls up at McDonalds?
He shot me a dirty look, and once he was turned away, I waved frantically to Shepard, whom I hoped would get the message and hurry his pretty little face up.
I heard him let out a laugh as he walked over and slid into the seat next to me, apologizing kindly to the guy that I'd rudely kicked out. Shepard was like that. I kicked him under the table, but it hardly fazed him. After the guy had walked off, he turned his attentions back to his friend and I. "Eric, this is Anna, my partner-in-crime. Anna, this is my friend, Eric."
I looked over to the guy and held a hand out to him; he didn't look like a jerk. Or annoying. But appearances were misleading. One thing I could see, though, was that he was actually kind of cute...

[alex]

Eric

I walked over to them, shaking Anna's hand before sitting down next to Shepard.
"Hi," I said and smirked at her. I folded my hands neatly on top of the table. Then my stomach made a horrible growling sound. "Sorry." I cleared my throat. The girl was definitely not like any other girls I'd met. I made a quick mental note to not get on her bad side. And if I ever did, I could probably say goodbye to my friendship with Shepard. I might have a strong will but she... well, she was the first girl to ever scare me. Just a little.

[Callie]

Anna

I nodded a bit as we shook hands. "Hi," I replied, looking over to Shepard. "You gonna let me out of the booth so I can get some food? You have to pay for it, by the way, because you said you'd be here fifteen minutes ago."
He grinned at me. "You held out and didn't get the food yet."
"Of course not. You bet me."
Shepard slid out of the booth and handed me a twenty. "That should be enough. I want a double cheeseburger. Lettuce and mayo. Medium fries and a chocolate milkshake." He looked over to his friend and gestured to me, as if to ask what he wanted. I almost kicked him in the leg again for pretending I was his waitress, but then I realized that he probably wanted to talk to his friend. And that this made it less awkward on me, so I stopped deliberating kicking him.

[alex]

Eric

"Oh, ehm, two big macs with everything on, onion rings, mozzarella sticks and a big coke," I told her. "Do you need help carrying everything?" I then asked as I automatically rose to my feet.

[Callie]

Anna

"Okay," I said, turning around to go and order when he asked if I needed help. Christ. Did I look like some poor little girl who couldn't even carry some goddamn food? "No," I said flatly, continuing onward to the counter.

[alex]

Eric

Oh. I blinked. "Okay," I called after her before foolishly sitting back down again. In my mind I wondered what I had done to annoy her. But I glanced over at Shepard and smirked awkwardly. My stomach growled again. "So, she seems like fun."

[Callie]

Shepard

I grinned at Eric. "Yeah... don't offer to help her. She's got it. Whatever it is. Actually, just don't be a gentleman. At least until she likes you. She'll warm up eventually. I haven't seen her like anyone right away."

[alex]

Eric

"That is just... weird advice to give anyone," I said to him, completely baffled. "But fine. Gentlemen, turned off." I raised my hands and then put them in my lap as I glanced over to Anna as she was ordering at the register.

[Callie]

Shepard

I laughed. "Weird advice involving a weird person," I pointed out, putting my hands behind my head as Anna moved away from the counter to wait for our orders. Well, this had the potential to be disastrous. I'd asked her to behave, which meant be nice... Then again, I should've realized that asking Anna to be nice was comparable to asking a caveman to solve an equation from your Algebra II class - not gonna happen.

[alex]

Eric

"Maybe she is like that annoying songs you always hear on the radio," I pondered. "At first you can't stand it. Then each time you listen to it you get more and more attached..." I shrugged and rested my head on my hand. 'Of course', I thought, 'you usually grew out of those songs pretty quickly until you could not stand listening to them anymore. Yeah, it was a pretty bad metaphor.'

[Callie]

Shepard

I shrugged, too. "No idea, but I hope our food's done soon; I'm starving." As if in agreement, my stomach let out a loud growl. "Jeez," I muttered, "you'd think I'm growing a lion in there or something."

[alex]

Eric

"Tell me about it." I nodded. "But mine is more like a bear... and fat." I stretched my back and patted my stomach. I didn't exactly have a six back... but I wasn't exactly fat either. I had fat muscles, if you will. "I got the munchies bad."

[Callie]

Shepard

Unable to resist, I scoffed at him. "I don't know how you'd fit a fat bear in your stomach," I remarked as Anna walked over, placing a tray crammed with food in the middle of the table. She took each thing off and handed it to its respective orderer.

[alex]

Eric

"Thank--" I started but then stopped mid sentence. Instead I took a big bite of my burger so that my mouth would be full. And I wouldn't have to speak. Though I wasn't sure that being polite was just a gentlemen thing... mostly I just thought that it was the decent thing to do. But I didn't dare tell her that. So I happily took another bite of my Big Mac.

[Callie]

Anna

I bit back a smirk and grabbed my own cheeseburger while Shepard shoveled fries into his mouth. "You're - " I told Eric before cutting myself off, too, and taking a bite of my cheeseburger.
"So... how are things, Eric?" Shepard asked through his food. I just shook my head in amusement. The guy had no table manners at all. Not that that really mattered to me.

[alex]

Eric

I took a sip of my coke before swallowing my food so that I could respond. "Quit my job, because of the horrible hours, but got hired down at the docks. It's just some job a monkey could do, you just gotta move some heavy stuff from one spot to another." I shrugged, grabbing an onion ring. "But I got a schedule that they can't change, so that means I don't have to work nights."

[Callie]

Shepard

I shot him a grin. "I bet you can carry heavy stuff easier than a monkey can," I remarked, taking another bite of my hamburger.
