User ImageWelcome to my humble thread. I know most people are burnt out on modern fantasy due to lack of real plots out there (and no, "Your vampire captures my character cuz she's pretty and makes her his bride, zomg!" does not constitute as a plot in my opinion), but bear with me. If you don't like this sort of thing, just scroll down to the end. I've got other stuff down there.

First off, I love to discuss more in-depth plots and create things with my partner. If you have an idea, let me know and we can run with it. Second, these gentlemen in this particular setting come with no less than three plots/hooks already which simply run no matter what other plots we do. It's just my way of making sure things don't go stale. (None of which involve any sort of vampire kidnappings. Seriously, if I were immortal, I think I would have better things to do with my time than pluck skinny blonde girls from parks late at night to wed. Besides, why even bother getting married? You can't have kids. Your legal rights are pretty sketchy as it is. You don't use hospitals so there's no point in having someone there to determine whether or not you need to be resuscitated. I mean... tax break, maybe? But then again, do vampires even pay taxes? Moving right along.)

So, with that said, I hope you will read with an open mind and will give my fanged and furry friends one last shot. If not, take a look at what other special treats I have open for the day. They're at the end.

User ImageNow, before we get to the boring stuff like rules and whatnot, I figured I'd introduce you to my five gentlemen. If you want exact specifications on the usual "uke/seme" or "dom/sub" question, feel free to ask over a messenger. Otherwise, I won't really specify.

Dr. Rudolph Marrok - werewolf - 28: A biology professor at _______ State College and a rather rare lone werewolf (more on this later). He is dedicated to his studies and his duties of negotiation and investigation that allow him to keep what little territory he has. He is highly intelligent, though can be rather cold and manipulative. His main confidant is his cat, Carbon.
Sexuality: Gay, but can come off as highly indifferent at times
Likes: Alpha male werewolves, quiche, his cat, his motorcycle, studying, working on his multiple experiments, silence
Dislikes: Dealing with students outside of class (Hint: Don't try to pair him with a student. At all. Period. Not even if he's never taken a biology class.), interruptions during experiments, other males who attempt to win mental games against him (since the man has a Bachelor degree in Sociology with a minor in Behavior Analysis on top of his Doctorate in Biology and his Masters in Chemistry [Psst! Can you feel the nerd vibes, yet? They're right next to the corpse of his social life.]), his heavy amount of loan debt

Connor Lowe - werewolf - 22: An art student at ______ State College and a werewolf on the verge of serious trouble. He was taken in by Rudolph after being thrown out of another pack and now surrounding areas are concerned he might be a threat. He is hot-headed and doesn't think many things through. Also, he is the head of the Gay-Straight Alliance on campus and flaunts his homosexuality as blatantly as possible when given the opportunity.
Sexuality: Gay to the point of annoying
Likes: Rainbows, painting, designing art using "alternative" mediums, independence
Dislikes: Restraints, authority (other than Dr. Marrok, shockingly enough), Alpha werewolves, the pack hierarchy, art critics, people who question what use his degree will be in the future

Peter Gardi - ghost - 24 at time of death, currently 26: A former English professor at _____ State College and a close colleague of Dr. Marrok's thanks to Peter's love of plant biology. Two years ago, however, there was a break in at the lab and Peter was attacked. He survived just long enough for the ambulance to take him away and the medics to bandage him up at the hospital. When Dr. Marrok went to collect the things of the deceased, he found his former friend just waiting there, staring sadly at the box of belongings and looking much more transparent than before. Gardi has remained with Dr. Marrok ever since, serving as a receptionist when he can now that he has learned to manipulate the telephone.
Sexuality: Bi, leaning towards gay, though death has made it a pain to try to get a date...
Likes: Answering the telephone, watching Dr. Marrok work, reading, writing on the computer (though it takes longer now that he has to put more effort into making the keys move)
Dislikes: Loud noises, loud people, watching people eat (since he misses it), being unable to move large objects

Adamah Newman - vampire - assumed to be 232: A vampire as old as America itself, this cowboy has built a bit of a reputation. He joined up with a clan called the Crimson Nail as a detective around 1800, but vanished from the entire radar by 1850. For years he was thought to be nothing more than a rumor or a fairy tale made up to scare new vampires into behaving. Legend even had it that he tamed the vampires and werewolves of the west alike with a gun that fired silver bullets. But that was just a story... right? Well, now he's back and rumors have been spreading like wildfire. The Crimson Nail is on high alert since what few records they have indicate that Mister Newman did not leave on friendly terms.
Sexuality: Bi, with no preference
Likes: His guns, his truck that he named Antioch (though he calls her Annie), smoking Black Deaths, his cowboy hat and boots, stories of how the West was back before it was tamed, patriotism
Dislikes: Lesser brands of cigarettes, scratches on his Annie, vegetarians

Allan Flint - gargoyle - looks 26, never gives out his real age: From how he acts, a person might suspect that this gargoyle was carved straight into the side of the Playboy mansion. He showed up with Newman, not bothering to hide his insatiable desire for vampire lovers. Doesn't seem to actually be romantically involved with them... just likes to play. He does seem to be tied to Adamah somehow, but no one is really sure how. The two occasionally will speak to each other in a mix of heavy souther accent and broken Spanish and on other occasions, words aren't even really needed.
Sexuality: Vampires. It doesn't matter what gender.
Likes: Vampires, food, more vampires, more food, all-you-can-eat buffets, vampires, kittens, sex, and more vampires.
Dislikes: Other gargoyles, clingy people, anyone who interferes with Adamah (nothing like spending time with a cranky vampire who has more guns than some sport hunters)

User ImageNow that you've met the boys, let me tell you a little bit about their world. The setting is a modern fantasy one so don't be too shocked to see Connor with an iPod or Dr. Marrok talking about alternative fuel sources.

If you noticed, three out of the five characters also have ties with ______ State College. It can be in pretty much any state and its a fairly large school famous for research in biology. There is a forest bordering it to the north and the main road in front of campus (to the south) is just about five to ten minutes to the main highway depending on the traffic. There are a few residential areas to the south as well, but Dr. Marrok has a house to east away from the main highway. That is where he runs his Negotiation business.

Backing up a bit, the werewolf community does not like most lone wolves. Werewolves are social creatures and deviations from the pack mentality are seen as threats. After all, they could start up their own pack and take over territory of other packs or just give werewolves in general a bad name in the eyes of the other races (except humans, but I'll get to that in a bit). These "troublemakers" are generally "taken care of" as soon as possible. This generally means either assimilation into a pack or elimination. There are a special few, however, who manage to take the pledge of the Negotiator. This means he or she has proven to all packs in the surrounding areas without a shadow of a doubt that he or she is a perfect neutral party, has no interest in starting a pack, and is willing to serve as judge and jury in any sort of disputes for all races. When ever there is a problem that can't be solved by the werewolf pack Alpha, the vampire clan Leader, the gargoyle flock Captain, or the ghost haunt Chief, that is when a Negotiator is called in. He or she keeps records of the various organizations, maps of territories, lists of community service, and many other things he uses to decide what to do about the various situations that arrive. In return, he is compensated with his own territory and occasionally a small bit of money for his time. Pretty much, lone werewolves either have to be strong enough to use muscle to keep their territory or intense wits. It's not easy and it's not cheap.

As far as humans go, there are two different kinds: Awakened and Dormant. The difference is that the Awakened know about the other races and the Dormant are oblivious. Most Awakened simply try to either ignore the presence of the others since they face being thrown into a mental institution if they cause enough trouble. After all, if someone was trying to tell you there was a vampire after them, what would you think?

That should be everything that is already set up. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. And, of course, feel free to add a few things of your own. You help shape this world, too.


*EDIT* A lot of people have been wondering, "Where do I fit in? What do you want me to play?" The truth is, I want you to develop a character without the normal pairing restraints. The possibilities are near endless. So long as the character fits into the setting, he can be worked in somehow. Anything from a barista at a local coffee shop to another professor to a vampire clan leader who has taken an interest in the school is more than welcome. It pretty much boils down to where you want to fit in, really. I mean, on the romance angle, I tried to give enough in the section where I listed what they like and dislike to help out on that, but I wanted to leave most of it to the imagination. If you want/need more to try to make sure things pan out, let me know and I'll do my best to help.

User ImageNow, there have been some "issues" with these gentlemen and myself that need to be addressed. Let's call them "rules" just for fun.

1. Don't ask to play as one of these gentlemen. They are my brain babies and, though they might be fun, they are mine.

2. Be literate, nice, and polite. No godmodding, power playing, or rude behavior will be tolerated.

3. Role playing is for fun. While I like reading long posts and writing them as well, I don't want you to play anything you're uncomfortable playing. If you don't want to put in the effort or don't want to play with these characters, please don't try to anyway.

4. The species I have listed are all in this world other than humans. No demons, fairies, angels, etc. need apply.

6. All or none. Adamah and Rudolph are my two main people in this and Connor doesn't have to have a romantic interest, but the entire cast will be present or else the show will not go on. And please... at least -some- romance? I fear stress will kill Rudolph and wanderlust will take Addy and Allan if there isn't any love in the air. I mean, there wouldn't be a need for the "Yaoi" tag in the title if I didn't want some romance at some point.

7. I only play over AIM or MSN. Sorry. ;.; You can find me as sexycatoswamp even though I'm invisible on AIM and as jinxdragonwings@hotmail.com on MSN. Poke me and I should appear. If not, PM me.
*Edit* I -might- be willing to compromise and play over PMs or e-mail. Possibly even Yahoo messenger.


8. I have plot, but I would love you to death if you helped me with things since they're more events that relate mostly to my characters. Sitting back and doing nothing is not an option! Pitch me an idea even if it's just a snippet. I love 'em.

9. The more characters you play, the better. Let's face it. These are only the five characters I'm letting you know about (six if you count Carbon). Plot dictates that there will be more... some nice, some not so nice. Now, they don't have to all be romantic relations. Not everyone I know is in some sort of mass love triangle right now, either. I'm just saying that I have a pretty nice section of the population going and I'd like for you to have at least similar. Minimum of three? That way I don't feel like I'm just writing a story with minor input from one other character. Feel free to create your own group whether it is an assortment of random people or a cluster of guys who own and operate a coffee shop near campus. If you need help with ideas, let me know. Just please don't have fewer than three.

10. Tell me up front if you don't like something. That way, I don't call you a pet name, use a smiley, or kick off a smut scene and end up making you uncomfortable. I'm flexible, but please let me know what you like and don't like.

That should be all. Please note that rules are subject to change at any time. ^.^ Thankies!

I'm also willing to do some Harry Potter stuff tonight. I only play as Snape and no, I don't pair him with students either. I'd love a Sirius, Lucius, Remus, or Filch, though. OCs welcome. Feel free to ping me on AIM for that as well.

I love your idea, I'm going to drop you a line on AIM.
Yay! Vampires and werewolves haven't been ruined completely for everyone just yet. ^.^
Good luck. ^^
Thank you!
