INTRODUCTION:


Blair Manor was a beautiful estate in its day. The aforementioned family was quite happy living there. The father, Arthur Blair, was a successful antiques dealer, who managed to pull in a considerable amount through his dealings. They had been a family of old wealth, passed down by previous generations of well to do merchants. The staff of the Blair Manor was quite pleased to work as they did, receiving more than fair pay, and having little required of them. The most adored by far of the family however, was the daughter, Emily Blair. She was beautiful, sweet, and of the age to begin courting. Though many suitors knocked at their doors, they found themselves leaving just as swiftly as they had arrived. Arthur would stand for nothing but the best for his daughter. Emily however, would sit in the shade of a large oak tree in the yard, staring at the rose garden that sprawled over much of the property.
But slowly, things began to change. Arthur had bought something, which the seller had taken without the owner’s permission. None of Arthur’s buyers would step within ten feet of the object. They claimed disinterest, but it was obvious that they were afraid.
Emily started to become somewhat of a recluse. Her curtains were never drawn, casting her room into darkness. Anything brighter than candle light seemed to make her quite uncomfortable. She was losing skin pigment with every day, becoming paler than anyone had ever seen. Her once beautiful deep blue eyes were lightening to a stark icy tint, and her dark brown hair seemed to darken to a pitch black.
Her attitude was not as sweet as it once had been. Anger and bitter words seemed more quick to appear, and often anxiety. She began to walk in her sleep, to the deepest reaches of the mansion. Late in the night when none could see her.
All good things must eventually reach their end. Nothing was heard of the Blair family from then on. Not a trace seemed to be left behind. The gates have been locked, and none have dared tread the grounds ever since. And so, our story begins…

please note that I will not post the actual roleplay until enough people have signed up... I don't want to get ahead of myself in case nobody else joins.

also, I'm controlling the only real... antagonist so to speak. so... your character can be annoying or somewhat abrasive, but not directly evil.

SERIOUSLY, IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS WHATSOEVER I ENCOURAGE ASKING ME. I am quite willing to help. thank you.

User name: Lucifer Catafalque

Character name: Elizabeth Rose

Age: 21

Gender: female

Sexual Orientation: I swing both ways, yeah? I prefer guys, but sometimes a girl will catch my eye, y’know?

Brief Bio: I’m a female DJ. I aspire to build my talent to the levels of some of my idols like Deadmau5 Skrillex. Sure, for right now I mostly just get hired to play and mix other people’s songs, but someday I hope my own will get popular. I decided that Blair Manor would be an epic venue… it definitely has its charm. Old Victorian styled house like that… it’s a shame nobody lives there, and that it’s not on the market. I’d definitely go for a place like that. But, such is life. I’ll settle for having one awesome gig there.

Theme song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEd4NfmMI6U My Name Is Skrillex (Skrillex remix)
(( Yeah, he remixed his own song XD ))

Worst Fear: Merinthophobia - Fear of being bound or tied up – In general, I really don’t like being at someone else’s mercy… sure, in romantic endeavors I prefer that my partner will take charge, but it doesn't mean I like being restrained. If I need to push away, I should be able to.

Sexual Orientation: I'm straight.
Brief Bio: I'm friends with Elizabeth. I'm basically a one man roadie crew. I'm also her muscle if people try to get too close or out of line with her. When she mentioned doing a gig at Blair Manor, I thought she was nuts, but I was still up for it. The place has a major creep factor, but not too bad.

Worst Fear: Snakes. When I was real little I got bitten by a rattlesnake. I was in the hospital for a week. Since then I'm deathly afraid of any and all snakes.

Worst Fear: being abused by someone for their own enjoyment the reason is a well kept secret by her family. When she was seven, ten years ago, she was kidnapped and believed to be dead for almost a year. In that time she was abused physically and mentally you would not believe the sick things she went through. The police got a warrent to investigate his house because of animal abuse but what they found was way beyond what they thought they would.The man due to a foul cop escaped and it made the case famous a movie is being made as a true horror story about it. only the first name is currently known of the girl who went through this her name is Amelia

In order for me to feel like this has any chance of success, I need to have at least five acceptable profiles... two down.... three to go? Or more?

Sexual Orientation:Men please
Brief Bio: Me and my brother grew up with an abusive father. Mother didn't really care and left. We both took the pain differently, I held it in while my brother took it out on me. I know he means well but hey I'm not a punching bag. I learned how to fight in school, I would beat up my bullies. I know how to fight hand to hand and kick a** with it to. I heard of Blair Mansion from my brother and decided to check it out. I kinda want to get rid of my fear of spiders.

((A little late, but oh well?))

character approved
User name: Adryrn
Character name: Fisher Price. And, no, I don't care whether you think that's what's on my birth certificate.
Age: I'm twenty-four.
Gender: Fabulously non-binary, thank-you-much.
Sexual Orientation: Attractive people. And if you have to ask if that includes you, it doesn't <3.
Brief Bio: I went to public school until I was about eight and my mom married the dude whose kid constantly teased me about my glasses and broke them like eight times. I told her not to, but she wouldn't listen. She pretty much never listens. Anyway, so I now I had to not only go to school with this kid but also LIVE with him. It didn't work out very well. I told her it wouldn't. After that she sent me to live with my grandfather. He's super quiet and he lives so far out in the boonies that the nearest public school was like an hour away by car. His car was really unreliable, so he homeschooled me instead. That worked out pretty well, seeing as I still managed to get a scholarship to a pretty decent public university.
As a kid, I was very isolated. After I moved in with my grandfather, I didn't have much contact with anyone else aside from the people who worked in the only nearby grocery store and the occasional phone call with my mom. I only got lonely sometimes--usually I liked it; getting along with people can be difficult for me depending on their personalities. So my first semester at the university was a huge shock, but that was several years ago. I've gotten my own apartment now and am close to finishing my master's degree in linguistics.
Picture: Here. I'm particularly fond of drop crotch/harem pants, so that's more likely than not what I'm wearing at any given time. If I was in the habit of wearing a bra, I'd maybe be an a-cup. My hips aren't too wide as long as I wear pants that sit on my hip bones instead of closer to (or at... gag...) my waist and don't wear a clingy shirt. My shoulders are kinda broad, which actually works out nicely most of the time. Oh, and I wear contacts now. No more glasses.
Theme song: "Time Passing" by The Irrepressibles
Worst Fear: I really don't like being ganged up on. I can handle crowds in general, but if a bunch of people are surrounding me and purposefully blocking me, I freak out. It reminds me of elementary school. Same for touching my face in most contexts--if it's someone I trust and they move slowly it's okay, but otherwise it kinda freaks me out.
