intro:Welcome to the city of Umbra, which got it's name due to being mostly hidden from other places, and the fact that it's shrouded in darkness. there is always a full moon in the night sky, and most of our citizens are vampires, were-wolves, and half-demons. the city is surrounded by gates, as to not let creatures of the forest into the city. The forest is inhabited by escaped demons, ghosts, bears, various sized spiders and other creatures.






Runose lay in his bed, wondering why he had bought an abandoned building to live in. he looked out of the window to the city below, a restaurant lay across the street, he got out of bed and went down the elevator. he got out of the elevator and arrived at what used to be a hotel lobby, he exited the building and walked over to the restaurant, called "the moon room" and entered the building.

Name: Shades - Real Name Unknown
Race: Human/Elf hybrid
Occupation: Bounty hunter
Appearance: Tall, with an air of darkness. He wears a long cloak/coat and a hat, which casts a magic shadow covering most of his face.

Weapons: A long spell woven one handed sword, made of magic indestructible silver.
Element: Fire- Can concentrate it into a UV burst, which will generally leave him exhausted. Flame is concentrated and pure, making it blue.

Intro: A claw swiped, missing the strangers head by inches. The stranger twisted away from a second swipe, and the claw sunk into a tree. A flash of silver, and the beast swayed back, and clenched the sword in its teeth, foam emanating from its mouth, and tossing the sword away. Shade lurched forward, and kicked the creature, while using his hands to shoot a bolt of flame through the wolf mans heart. The creature fell, and Shade retrieved his sword. As he walked away, the wound began to close, ad the wolf man stood up, charging silently towards the man. With a simple wave of the hand, a UV burst disintegrated the creature, and the man continued in his search for his target, the legendary dark city of umbra.

Runose waited for his food, a nice, rare steak. He looked back to the old days, when you could just go catch your own cow and use it for steak...boy how times changed. his meat came to his table, he asked for a box, disappointed with how long the damned thing took to come. he wlks out the restaurant, muttering something along the lines of "stupid goblin morons".

OOC: so this is my first RPG.



intro
mathieu hadn't slept a wink in days. his senses were blunt, he could barely smell his own thoughts.

the main road of the red light district was scattered with rubbish after the vampire riots a couple of days back. whatever the reason, mathieu didn't care. he was famished and heading towards the moon room restaurant/bar for a midnight snack. the moon room was run by a Scottish goblin Grunt, personal friend of mathieu's. the place had started out as a were-bar, but these days all sorts of dodgy folk lurked about.

 

[Nimnim]

Runose walks right by Mathieu, runose muttered more insults about goblins, and uttered curses not even goblins would say. he bring out his key and unlocks the door to his building, which he had now noticed had a small, but noticeable, hole in the front wall, "why did I bother buying this place" he wonders to himself and walks into the abandoned hotel that was his home, not noticing that he left the door unlocked.

[elephant]

"how're things, pal?"
"comme ci, comme ça. I'm getting migraine from the constant exposure to moonlight."
"explains the hideous umbrella," mocked Grunt. "i saw you have a blade there. umbra isn't a safe place anymore indeed."
he shook his head, grunting.
"has it ever been?" mathieu replied. "it was a hell-hole to begin with."
"i mean the riots. bad folk, the vampires. and never leave tip," Grunt smiled.
"whats their story?"
"don't ask, way past PG13. but knowing them, they wont stop until the town is theirs. so beware."
"i ain't scared of no leeches. have you seen what these jaws and claws can do?"

mathieu stopped fighting the innate urge to shapeshift and morphed into a werewolf in a mere second.
"don't upset other customers with that hideous grin of yours. and how about another round of beer, pal?"

(OOC: some more story to work with. pardon the shite dialogue)

[Nimnim]

OOC: it's ok.

IC: Runose flipped on the tv, there was another anti-vampire riot on tv, run by a goblin named Riz. he sighed, "why do we fight eachother? demons are the ones that have to be hunted" he sighs, he then discovered he doesn't have his bloody-beer. he spread his wings and jumps out the window, he lands softly in front of the moon room. runose enters the Barstraunt and goes to the bar section, "I'll have a pigsblood beer, hold the pork chunks" runose asks the goblin at the counter.

my character:

Name: Lula
Race: Mixed, once a low class 'angel' type creature, was made human as punishment for disloyalty, was then bitten by a vampire.
age: unknown, looks to be about 18
element: none
abilities: some small light magic, also can control cats.
weapon: a small, old fashioned pistol, and a cutlass.
eyes: deep indigo
hair: black and red.

Lula walked quietly down the high street, the night was cold and the full moon shone brightly from the eyes of the fifteen odd cats that had begun to follow her during her walk. over the many long years she had grown used to the wide, wanting eyes following her footsteps from the dark corners and allies. she had, once again, been thinking back on old days. times before she was sent in exile to live in this squalid, dusty mess of a city. times before she had been broken in on during her human slumber and bitten, made into more a a freak than she already was. Times before that night, when  the cats started to watch her. she didn't mind it now, not that much.
 she gave a sigh and sat down heavily on the first doorstep to come to hand, and she sat there thinking. after a while she heard a soft "mew" from beside her, and looked down to see a tiny waif of a kitten sat next to her, a half of a mouse at its paws and an expectant look on its face.
"Hey there little friend. Is that for me?" she smiled and picked up the mouse. "Thank you very much... but I think you should keep it." she swung the mouse back and forth in front of the kitten till it could take no more and pounced, catching the morsel of food and running off to eat in peace. "Good kitty."
with another sigh, and a quick glance at her furry aunterage, she set off for the nearest restaurant she could find, and ended up in a little place called The Moon Room.

OOC: i made a silly illustration..



IC:
a winged demon, apparently a hybrid by the smell of it, walked into the bar.
"I'll have a pigsblood beer, hold the pork chunks," it asked.
"I could use some pork chunks, Grunt, I'm starving," mathieu added and quickly morphed back to his human state to properly greet the stranger.

but before he could say a word, he smelled the vile scent of a nearby vampire.

[Woo]

The Moon Room bar and restaurant was a rough place with a hostile feel to it. the room was dimly lit, and full of goblins and assorted rough looking thugs of the world, each one with hate in his eyes. Lula moved towards the bar.
"um, hello. could I have a Bloody Mary please? and... could I also have a pint of milk?" she blushed and smiled faintly at the barman.

[Nimnim]

Runose smirked slightly, "a wolf eh? I haven't been out much in a while, I ws holed up in that appartmet across the street" he says, he drinks a sip of his bloody beer.

[Darkly Chaotic]

Name: circum spectat
Race: Demon
age: unknown, pops up throughout history as various nobody figures
element: darkness
abilities: can solidify the shadows into various forms, is shadow
weapon: ^read above entry^
eyes: reflective silver, like mercury
hair: n/a

Intro:
Circum slipped into the shadow of one of the guards stepping beyond the gate to check the immediate forest. when he stepped back in, he didn't know he had let one of the denizens in. slipping from shadow to shadow, he eventually came to a secluded allyway in a deserted area of the city. his form gave a shiver and he rose as a humanoid dressed in a black cloak and with a black hat, infact his whole clothing choice was black.
"hmm need a bit of a change" and his clothing brightened, his cloak was now a dark brown trench coat and his hat matched in color. his underlying shirt was now a deep red and his pants/boots also matched. over his eyes he wore a pair of reflective sunglasses. with a grin he stepped into the street and began to wander around gazing at the citizens.

Grunt gave the vampire a suspicious look and reached for the vodka.

"You mean the abandoned one? Looks pretty creepy to me," Mathieu said to the demon. "Grunt did you get my order?"
"Just a sec," Grunt shouted back and handed Lula the cocktail. "There you go, sunshine. Extra bloody."

 

[Woo]

Lula smiled in relief and took the drink. "Thank you very much sir..." she took a seat on a bar stool not too far away and settled down to her drink. she listened closely to the banter passing between the bar patrons, hoping to hear some gossip or news.

[Nimnim]

"did you here about the goblin-run riot against vampires? we all have been peaceful for years, and now we want eachother out. why is that?" runose says, he takes another gulp of his alcho-blood.
