 Intro
A few gunshots ring through the streets of New York City. Cops arrive, no one there, no one dead, no one guilty, nothing left but a few shells. Not even a drop of blood, no bullet holes in any of the cement and brick walls or ground. Nothing.
Days pass. Chicago. Gunshots, nothing but shells. No one takes any notice of it.
San Fransisco. Nothing but the sounds.
Las Vegas, just the shells left behind and a single footprint. No one writes anything down. It happens in Denver, Orlando, Mexico City, Seattle. All related, no one knows it. No one is hurt, nothing is damaged, no crime needs to be solved.
But a few government officials are secretly going mad, perfectly aware of what is causing the disturbances.

 Story
Welcome to a 2009 fantasy history. It might sound weird, but let's elaborate.
We've all heard of the impossible, like vampires and men that change to wolves and the like. But...what if it's not so impossible? No, not clans and the like. Military experiments, they've been happening for years and just leaked out enough to spread rumors and stories. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, for example. What if they were real? These are the modern League, you could say, with a few subtractions and additions, and no one is really sticking together all that well. People 'experimented' on by the military, no longer human or too much so. There's the invisible man, the werewolf, the vampire, the shapeshifter, the chemist, the superhuman, the immortal. There are other humans along the way...
The new "League" has escaped, due to a leak in security. The military has sent out trained men to hunt down and either capture or kill the League. Everyone is in a different place, spread across the continent for now, but soon will likely go and escape about the world. The gunshots? Military men trying to kill the League. So far, all have failed. So...who will you be?

 I can see you, but you can't see me--
"Ahh...Finally." Charlie dared a glance around the corner, brim of his hat just barely seen. He raised an eyebrow, seeing no pursuit. Stupid hunter, chasing him about. I mean, come on. He was invisible--How did they find his trail that easily? Much less fire at him and only get to be a few inches off. It was right weird, that was what Charlie Python thought. A few feet, sure, but a few inches?
He rolled his eyes, having finally ditched the hunter, at least for the day--once they got left, took about a day until they caught up again. Charlie couldn't exactly get a flight out of the Big Apple right away--sure, he could wear the mask, blah blah blahhh. But he didn't have the cash. No luggage? Also suspicious, people dinnit like it. He'd managed to survive by slipping a few heavy wallets--If they had that much in there, surely they wouldn't have a problem replacing it--and had gotten transit around the city plus food. He just wore the mask and clothing that hid every small bit of him and he was alright. He got weird looks, sure, but hey. He wasn't exactly out to entertain people.
Only himself.
And maybe a woman here and there.
But that was besides the point. He'd have to pick a random part of the city and take a subway. Needed to get out of this one, make himself harder to track.
He shrugged, pulling the collar of the turtleneck up and slipping the mask back on. He stealthily snuck from the back alleys, hurrying his way to a subway. He stopped in front of a map, closing his eyes and randomly pointing, (He was wearing sunglasses over the mask--it was actually rather annoying) and ta-da! He was on his way to Coney Island. Lucky him, he could sneak onto the rides now and then.
He took a bit of cash from his pocket, buying a new transit pass before sliding it through the receiver, catching a subway that would take a few hours to get to his destination. Didn't bother him, he'd just kip out a different way if that hunter found him out there.
[[I so TOTALLY cheated on stole this first post from my other roleplay. I just loved it so much I couldn't help it. No worries, the rest will be original! Hahaha]]
Don't you find that to be somewhat unsettling?

 Shut up; I'm a sexy vampire.
He left the barn and looked at the horizon. The sun was down, but just barely behind a mountain. He'd have to be careful about how far he moved until it was really gone. He stared at the nearby pasture of cows wistfully. He was hungry. Very hungry. He'd been shot yesterday. He instinctively ran his hand over his chest, but the wound had healed immediately after he'd received it.
He looked at the cows again and sighed. It would be nice if he could feed on them, but he couldn't. For some unknown, magical, bullshit reason, he needed human blood. He'd just fed yesterday, too. He didn't usually need to feed this much, but healing a gunshot wound took a lot of energy from him. Energy that his body could only replenish by digesting human blood.
He headed towards the lights of the city in the distance. He wouldn't end up in the sunlight as long as he didn't fly, and in the state he was in, he couldn't run. So he walked. And with every step, his entire being seemed to cry louder in hunger. Not just a physical hunger, but a mental need to attack and kill and feast. BOO!

Military brat...{{I would hope so, considering these are different characters than before.}}
Beep beep beep! A muffled groan forced itself out from under the folds of a thin blanket before an arm appeared, slamming down on the snooze button. "Stupid piece of-... Ugh..."
Taylor wiggled up to the head of the bed and peeked out, wincing at the bright light coming from the window. She loved this place, but the sun could go to hell. It must've been the bat in her...
Before making her way 'home', Kat had taken a long road trip across the States, going everywhere she'd always wanted, as well as a few places she hadn't expected. National parks, horse rides across enormous plains and valleys, and a quick trip to Carlsbad Caverns. She had a huge selection of animals for shifting now.
With a yawn, the brown haired girl dragged herself out of bed and stepped over to the window, pulling it open and leaning on the sill. A warm breeze brushed past her into the room behind her and she gave a soft smile.
Suddenly, there was a horn below her. She looked down and smiled, waving eagerly to some friends. She turned with a small sigh; another day, another beach party, more watching over her shoulder for hunters.
Still, it was a good life now, out in the bright beautiful sunshine.
Her friend seemed to notice that she wasn't moving and called up, "Hey, girl! Get your clothes on and leave already!" She spun around and opened her mouth to reply, but after a minute of nothing, she finally said, "I can't think of a nonsexual response to that. Bah, I'll be down in a minute!"
She headed for her closet, and she instinctively hit the floor as a car outside backfired. She stood up again grumbling obscenities under her breath and quickly got dressed. 'At least no one else saw that. They already think I've been acting weird lately, I don't need to acknowledge it.'
{{It's not as epic as yours, but I'm a little sleep-deprived at the moment.}}     Taylor Kathrine Williams

I can see you, but you can't see me--
With an irritable mumble, Charlie shuffled his feet to move for an older woman wanting to get by him. He didn't like moving for women he wasn't planning on hitting on later. Not that he was an a*****e--wait, yes he was. She gave him and irritated look and then a weird one at his attire. He made a face at her, but she obviously couldn't see it.
He shrugged and sat down on a corner seat when the crowds on the subway started to clear a little. He stared out the window at the passing tunnels and then the sky as they went across the bridge. Finally, he was here. Coney island was an easy place to fit in--they'd think he was in the sideshow or something.
He shoved his way past tourists and the like, stumbling out of the car and onto the concrete. He cracked his knuckles under the black gloves before turning and striding into the crowd, on his way to the most populated area of the city, usually. The boardwalk.
Don't you find that to be somewhat unsettling?

      Military brat...{{There's not exactly much to do except run through a normal day until we can meet up. I was thinking about making a hunter, but I'm not sure how much it would help.}}
With the door locked behind her and everything she needed in her pockets, Taylor joined her friends outside. "It's about time, Will. C'mon, there's a great party down at the south beach today." "Isn't there always?" she asked with a sigh. "I think today I'm gonna skip it, guys. Maybe tomorrow, ok?" "We've never known you to miss a party, but alright. Whatever you want, Will." She watched slightly disheartened as they climbed back in their car and started off for the south beach. She didn't know what she was gonna do, but it didn't involve loud music, hot sand, and white guys who thought they were pimps.
Digging her keys out of her pocket, she pulled herself up into her truck's cab and fired up the engine. For somebody who didn't want to be noticed, she sure had a loud car. She pulled out of her driveway and went down the road, stopping at her first red light to think. She wasn't sure where she was gonna go, but she might have an idea.

Shut up; I'm a sexy vampire. Jacob found himself tempted to just grab the closest person to him on the crowded street, but that was a bad idea. He managed to keep himself together until he found..."Hey, cutie. Lookin' for a good time?"He watched her with hungry eyes, which she must have mistaken for lustful. The small, rational part of his brain cried 'jackpot'. An ugly little woman, wearing nothing but fishnet, heels, and about eighty pounds of make-up. She was a whore. He could smell it on her. The men, and the sex, but mostly the disease. He smiled at her. "Yes. I must admit I've been rather starved lately." She returned the sly smile."Well, I've got this place..."He agreed and followed her to her 'room'. It was an abandoned gas station. He would have laughed if he hadn't been so damned hungry. He was Fascinating her, of course. He didn't want to take any chances, as hungry as he was. So she was tempted to believe everything he said was a compliment; she believed he found her attractive. He didn't, of course, but that didn't matter.
She demanded her cash up front. A good idea, save that she was charging a king's ransom, considering the diseases she was carrying. He paid with the money he had taken from his last victim (Well, he wasn't going to use it!) and she led him to the back room. She turned away for half of a moment, and that's all it took.
He was behind her in a flash, covering her mouth with one hand and pulling her head aside. He brushed her hair aside with the other and sank his teeth into her neck. It didn't have to be the neck, of course. That was simply the area with the greatest blood flow. She struggled in vain against his inhuman strength, and he felt an odd urge to moan. Feeding when he was hungry was a sensation that he ranked above sex.
He left her body there. It wouldn't matter when she was found. The local authorities would have no clue who killed her, and the Hunters would know he had, even if the body wasn't found. He wasn't quite sure how they did that. He retrieved his money, along with all of the rest she had in her room, and set off. He wasn't quite sure where he was going. He felt a sudden urge of homesickness, knowing he was so close, but he shook it off.
As he left the building, he allowed his body to alter, and he melted away. He felt a sudden rush as his body took off, and he felt the wind in his face. The other bats fled when they felt him near. All of the animals did, now. But that was a price he had paid the day he'd allowed himself to change.BOO!

The evening hangs beneath the moon
A silver thread on darkened dune.
With closing eyes and resting head
I know that sleep is coming soon.Tommy let his feet scuffle along the sidewalk. He couldn't believe he'd missed. He was right there. Right there! It hadn't been a complete bust, though. He'd taken the shot with his rifle from a rooftop. The target hadn't seen his face. The target was Charles Python. The Invisible Man. It was an important mission, and probably a big honor or something, too.
Tommy just wanted to go to bed. It'd been almost a week since he'd had the chance to really sleep in. 'Tailing people is not fun.' He complained to himself. His rifle was tucked away in his car again, and he looked completely unarmed to the casual eye. He took a few more steps before he decided to stop being lazy and actually try to track the guy down again. He pulled the picture out of his pocket. It probably wasn't how Charlie looked anymore, but it was good enough to give him a connection.
He willed his consciousness toward the man in the picture, and he tried to pick up a thought. Any thought. A clue to where he was, or where he was going. The first few thoughts he heard were not Charlie's.Why would he cheat on me?There's no way I'm going to remember that!I'm hungry.Stop thinking about it and kiss me, you big dummy!Wow, nice a**, Blondie. I'd like to...That last thought was directed at him, from a casually dressed young lady. He didn't much care for her, petty, shallow thing she was. But he did enjoy the compliment. He kept fishing like that for a while before he thought he got something. It was less of a thought, and more of a feeling, and the contact broke immediately. A few years ago, that would have thrown Tommy off, but he was a better psychic than that now. He could read his own mind.
And he did. He closed his eyes. He carefully dug into his own short-term memory and relived the thought he had heard. A comfortable feeling, surrounded by a crowd. Looking for easy marks without even realizing it. Coney Island. His eyes shot back open and he smiled. This was rather fun. He wasn't sure he was actually good enough to catch an Invisible Man, but he did enjoy the chase. Or maybe Charlie did. He got his thoughts mixed up with others' sometimes.
He walked towards the nearest subway station. This was bound to be a fun little outing.
