Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hey, I figured I'd try my hand at starting a RP here so here it is.
The story takes place in Etherea a fictional city that has been taken over by Demons.
Basic look of the city.
Oddly enough there are a few businesses still running despite the apocalyptic scene. Some with demonic customers. Other than that the place is desolate, save the demons patrolling about and the survivors in whatever homes they can find. This RP plays through the lives of the humans, Demons, half-breeds, Vampires, and such that live -and die- in this city. Some try to survive, some try to escape, others try to preserve the chaos here. Whatever the case you're in for a rough place. So come ye hardy RPers and show this town what you're made of.
Rules:
-follow the ToS and guild rules
- this is a lit/ semi-lit RP, 3-4 sentences is fine but. "I walked there, I sat down. I drank a beer" won't cut it. Put simply, try to use good spelling and grammar and no one liners!
-conversely 3 or 4 paragraphs is fine, but no one needs a post 900 words long. Feel free to be descriptive but don't overdo it.
- read the posts, don't expect mercy if you miss a crucial detail.
- not every attack is undodgeable, nor is anyone unhittable. Be reasonable with your attacks and counters. This also means no godmodding
- no trolling, unless in character. Some characters are a bit snarky but no OoC insults ok?
-if vampire is your choice, you have to follow the lead of typical vampire mythology (I.E. no Edward Cullens)
- I won't say don't kill other characters but at least give them a chance to live.
-for the most part you control the NPC's involved with your character but make it realistic, you can't just own every lesser demon that shows up.
-romance is allowed, just keep it PG 13. (no cybering!)

Name: Lucy "Tepes" (Alucard is her real last name, but she doesn't like it)
Age: 55
alignment: "Bad" (She's not inexplicably evil, but she's up to no good.)
height: 5'5
Weight: 130lb
Description:

Equipment:
Magic:
Racial Vampire Powers: As a vampire, Lucy already has a multitude of advantages over the standard human, both in physical and supernatural competition.
Alchemy: Can create various things by mixing or converting a certain amount of other objects.
Weapons:
Gun Proficiency: Is quite skilled at using all matter of guns, and because of her vampire powers, she can can do crazy feats such as dual-wielding two high-powered rifles. If she can find them; right now she only has one shotgun, though she switches between using buckshots (Bullets that shoot a spray of pellets) and slugs (Solid bullets, which are good for long distance).
Melee Proficiency: Only semi-proficient with hand-to-hand combat, Lucy prefers to use weapons like spears and halberds. She carried a double-pointed eletrical spear, which she uses primarily to strike someone (if she's "trying" not to kill someone) , or impaling them (when she is).

History: Lucy comes from a long line of vampires; all of them connected to the grand vampire himself, Dracula. Somewhere in that line of ancestors, one of them decided to be funny and give himself the last name of "Alucard". Many centuries and stories later, the name Alucard is associated with many vampires who are, more or less, pathetic and condescending. Occasionally one who takes the name of Alucard comes around and shows to everyone the fear and respect that should be rightfully associated with the name, but the failures of those who try are more remembered.

Lucy did not like her last name, thinking that it was a mockery to both her and her entire species. Lucy's family, the Alucard Family, was most renowned in Etherea for their ability to make and raise master mercenaries; they are considered the best-of-the-best when it comes to Vampire soldiers. Lucy was trained the same, though she had her own quirks. For one, while she did well with weapons training, she had a fascination with creating things. She learned Alchemy from the library, and was soon appointed a teacher. When she was 20, Lucy had completed her weapons training, but instead of seeing the violent streets of Etherea, she chose to further increase her Alchemy Arts, as well as educate herself in more scientific advances. She learned of medicine, of diseases and poison, how the body is formed, how it fights, and how it dies. She also took up an interest that shocked those who know her; Robotics. She was greatly interested in these constructs that could rival vampires in term of physical power, and yet could be more loyal then a mindless ghoul. Such things as machines and medicine, chemicals and electricity, they interested her more then petty fighting. This made some tension between her and her family, until she was 27, and was kicked out from her family.

Lucy didn't bother to trying to regain her place within her family, and was more then glad to shred the mockery of being known as an "Alucard". Using what she learned, she was able to construct her own private home, under an unassuming gas-station. There, she began to create her won fame; she started to create robot minions, who at first where only good for scouting. But as she made more and more robots, she became more skills, until it soon came to pass that robots where starting to menace the city of Etherea, among the other creatures of chaos. But some disregarded her robots, and came to challenge her directly. Lucy may have spent most of her time reading on robots and science, but she was no slouch in combat; those who dared challenge her where met with swift death, and left impaled on metal stakes near her territory. Thus, she took on a new family name; Tepes, after Vlad Tepes, also known as Vlad the Impaler, the precursor of Dracula.

Despite Lucy's fame in combat and her machines, she was far from a major power in Etherea. She was more akin to a important figure, because if she was not killing you or terrorizing her enemies with robots, she also ran a rather decent clinic. Using her education in medicine and the body, she used her Alchemy to make balms and cures for disease, infections, and poisons. She was also able to heal physical wounds, like a nasty gash or a broken limb. She had to do one heart-surgery, and was only successful because she transfused her's and her patient's blood. But, while a doctor, she also did... experiments. With the dead. Should she "fail" a patient, she took their dead body and used it for... Science. It is unknown at what she is cooking up, but rumors has it that she purposely lets some of her patients die for her twisted experiments, and that she is using her robots to find her test subjects.

Natalie Zelphara
" Let the games begin"

Natalie walked about the streets with a triumphant grin, licking her blade, drenched in the blood of her latest victim. Her posse of imps, seven in number, followed behind licking the blood spatters as they dropped from her blade. Natalie was extremely happy, because her previous victim has actually managed to cut her, leaving a small gash above her eye which bled profusely.. Her blade, now licked clean, was re-sheathed ready for it's next use.
She came upon what looked to be an abandoned gas station. What truly interested her was the smell of blood around it, which was much stronger than usual. Excited at the thought of an easy snack, she quickly approached the station and hid around the corner of a nearby building. Upon closer inspection a familiar face appeared to her. Lucius Cypher. Although she had never had a run-in with this particular Demon, his fame as a warlord rivaled hers as a killer. She showed no interest in the warlord however or the woman he was speaking to. What had really caught her eye was the wagon full of bleeding children. In an effort to look friendly she dispersed her imps and hid her wings. Without these two indicators, she looked like a regular human woman. As much as she'd love to fight Lucius, aggressiveness would no doubt take away any chance of her free snack.
She approached him slowly and carefully, to make seem as if she were in fact a regular woman seeking treatment for a wound on her forehead.
