Welcome to Gaia! ::

Charlotte City = Very modern gothic city. Streets a river with cars, taxies, and busses. Apartment buildings and small shops cover every lot and alleys twist through everywhere. The city’s largest landmarks are the beautiful city hall, Charlotte park located near the Charlotte Cemetery, and it’s infamous clock tower, renamed Demon Tower by the city folk. There’s a church just north of the cemetery. Rumor has it that the fog that lingers on the ground at night seeps from this abandoned church.

Demon Tower: Stands taller then any other building in Charlotte. It’s tall and wide with a giant clock near the top. It’s filled with winding stairs and countless gears… though it’s rumored to inhabit demons or evil spirits that are blamed for the grizzly murders of the city.

I’ll ad NPC characters throughout to help the back story along.

Character Sheet:

(First Post)

Typical Charlotte morning, bright and new. Streets were bustling and full, Demon tower chimed striking 8 a.m., and not a cloud in the sky. But, within the talk and news, was the typical dark side of the morning…

Mr. Edgar set a pizza on the counter and rang the bell, “Number 28?” And turned back to make another. Mrs. Cloirete walked up to the counter with a newspaper, “Mr. Edgar? Have you heard?”
The old man turned and stopped his work to speak with her, “No, ma’am, has there been another?”
“Yes… the man was found gutted in the alley near Demon Tower this morning… No one can identify him as of yet…”
“…” Edgar nodded faintly, “That’s too bad…”
“It is, poor man…” Cloirete spoke softly. Then nodded to him, “But I have to catch a bus for work. I’ll speak to you later.”
Edgar nodded back politely and turned to his work. Not before stopping to see the first pizza gone… and not paid for…

Meanwhile…

Mikie sat on the steps of Demon Tower eating the pizza he’d waited so long to get. His yellow eyes scanned the early morning city before him. He smiled at the passers-by that would wave to him or at least look to him. He understood why people would look to him with disgust or tension, but he didn’t let himself get put down by it. Spaz wriggled her little body into the pizza box without his knowledge and let it close on her. Absentmindedly, after his first piece was gone, Mikie opened the box and reached in for another. When the tips of his thin fingers touched Spaz’s furry back, he jerked back quickly with a yelp. Spaz screeched and tried to leap out of the box. She ran to the side not supported by a step before she jumped, and the entire pizza flipped upside down on the marble steps leading to the tower. Mikie looked down at his food in shock, then looked angrily at the rat, “You stupid mouse! What now? What do you expect to eat after you ruined the only thing we had!?”
