Roleplay

A lush forest seeming to be completely out of reach of any sort of modern influence. No human city for miles and even hikers would be foolish to venture that far into the wilderness. The area looks completely untouched without even a single little, lonely cabin in sight. Well, looks can certainly be deceiving. Protected by many wards and spells to both hide and turn people away, a small but bustling city sits nestled into the forested expanse. However, it's inhabitants aren't anything so mundane as your average humans. No, they are something more unique. Those beings who have no place in the modern age where humans rule and such fantastical beings are confined to mythology and popular culture. this city is a sanctuary for a wide variety of creatures just trying to live normal lives away from a world that would never accept them. Werewolves wanting to be orthodontists, an ogre who owns a coffee shop, a demonic aerobics instructor, and many more. The town is not limited to so called monsters either. Humans blessed with magic or otherworldly powers find refuge within the town as well, living a life where their talents aren't belittled.

Protected they live out their daily lives in peace, aside from the normal trials and drama that comes along with living. What might await those within the city of Forest Nook?

((WIP)) [b]Name:[/b] Alaric Thompson [b]Age:[/b] 26 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Sexuality:[/b] Pansexual [b]Species:[/b] Human (Psychic ability to see the past of items by touching them as well as lesser telekinetic abilities) [b]Occupation:[/b] Owns and runs the Rusted Memories antique store in town [b]Appearance:[/b] [img]https://orig00.deviantart.net/e6ae/f/2018/073/2/8/alaric_by_fullmetalowlchemist-dc5vbfi.png[/img] Alaric is about 6'0" and his left arm was actually lost in an accident. His prosthetic one is a made with the same magic used to animate golems. However, since he has no natural magic of his own, he must go to the doctor once a month for a magic infusion. His hair is dyed pink which, originally, was a mistake but the look grew on him and he has kept it ever since. [b]Personality:[/b] Alaric is someone who will never shut up if you get him talking about something he is interested in. Primarily, his interests fall into history and antiques. Not difficult to guess since he does run an antique store. He is the type of person who goes all in when he decides on something. Decides he likes antique weaponry? Well, he's going to do his best to collect all he can. Finds a band he likes? He will have all of their songs. Get into a relationship with someone? He will give his all towards the relationship even if the other person doesn't. The latter has often ended in more heartbreak than anything else, though. Oh, well. At least he still has the swords. Generally, he is a friendly guy and will not try to start any trouble, tending to like to go with the flow rather than standing against someone else. That's not true when it comes to business, however. You won't see him just laying down and letting you rip him off on the price of something he is buying or selling. He's going to show his stern side whenever he is haggling with someone over prices. Which can sometimes seem to come out of nowhere if you are used to just speaking with him normally. When it comes to friends, his habit of going all in comes into play once more, doing almost anything for a friend to help them out even to the point of being taken advantage of. You need someone to bring you Chinese food at 3 am for no particular reason? He's your guy and he is bringing extra egg rolls. [b]Backstory:[/b] Alaric's family first came to Forest Nook a couple generations ago starting with his grandparents. They were tired of how their abilities were viewed by society as well as the scorn they usually received; usually in the form of being called freaks or frauds. Having heard about a sanctuary for those who were beyond the norm, his grandparents soon move to the town to start their new lives. Finding a welcoming community worlds away from the rest of the world, they decided to stay and start putting down roots. They had a daughter, his mother, and she grew up in the town. Eventually meeting a telekinetic powered psychic who would one day be his father. Honestly, his early life was mostly uneventful but he did have a good childhood. Nice parents, grandparents, and his favorite (adoptive) aunt Tania. So, he definitely had people around him who loved him and showed him there support for whatever he wanted to do as long as it wasn't dangerous. Well, save for that one time that Tania gave a twelve year old Alaric an antique sword as a gift. Needless to say, his parents did not let him run around with said sword. Still, that moment is probably what got him so interested in antiques and the memories they could behold if he used his powers. Other than that, the other most notable event in his childhood was what led up to him losing his arm. It was during the dead of winter and, like most children do, Alaric decided to go out and play. Now, he had been warned not to play on a nearby rock pile that was just a mound of large rocks because it was obviously dangerous. However, knowing no fear, he decided that was exactly where he was going to play. Upon reaching the rock pile, it did not take long for one misstep to cause a rock slide that left his right arm crushed under the weight of the rocks. In pain and stuck out in the freezing cold, he called out as loudly as he could for the first hour but his voice soon turned too hoarse to speak. Hours passed and his parents had gotten worried and put together a small search party. Some of the species helping who had a better nose were finally able to find him. Suffering from hypothermia, it would take him almost a week to recover. His arm however had been crushed and exposed to the cold for too long and it had to be removed just below his shoulder. The solution decided upon was to give him a golem hand. It took him a while to get used to and the monthly magic infusions are rather annoying, but it is better than living lift without an arm. Spending his time growing up mainly focused on collecting and his interest in antiques, it did not take him long after high school to set up his own antique shop. Alaric wasn't rich by any standard and his living space was cramped, but he was and is happy. [b]Other: [/b] - Lives in a very small apartment above his shop. It's made up of a small bedroom linked to an even smaller kitchen area and a small bathroom to one side. He has a washer and dryer in the basement of his shop. His living space is a bit cramped but pretty cozy, honestly. - His golem arm is actually controlled by his telekinetic powers, while the magic just keeps the arm functional and in one piece. - Thinks of Tania as his favorite aunt even if they aren't blood related - Collects pins and actually made a board to pin them to and display them on. Old pins, new ones from places he visits, and other such pins all mixed together, almost like a collage of his life and interests. It hangs proudly above his bed. - Loves video games even if he can't always afford to buy the latest and greatest games. - Must have coffee to survive mornings ------------------------------------------------------------ [b]Name:[/b] Kyon Mysrokson [b]Age:[/b] 28 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Sexuality:[/b] Straight [b]Species:[/b] Centipede-taur (Like a Centaur but with a centipede half instead of a horse half) [b]Occupation:[/b] Owns and works at the Ink-tipede tattoo shop [b]Appearance:[/b] His centipede half is approximately ten feet in length, counting only his body segments, and each segment is about two feet in width. The body of his centipede half are pitch black with glossy, reddish-orange plated segments with black pigment causing darker coloration in a gradient that is more prevalent near the beginning segments and becomes lesser with each consecutive segment. The darker pigment is almost not present as you get to his final segment. The legs connected to either side of each segment at orange where they connect to the body but change into a yellow which become brighter as you get to the end of the legs until it is an almost white color. Each pair of legs is slightly longer than the previous pair of legs so that they will not bump into each other if he needs to move quickly. At his final segment he has a long, forked "tail" which has the same coloration as his legs. As for his human half, Kyon's torso is tall at approximately four feet, but his total height changes as he varies how many of his segments are off the ground, since he is able to raise up as he wishes. Since he does like to keep in shape, his torso is very muscular. While his skin is a pleasant olive tone, that is definitely not what you would be noticing. The entire surface of his human half is covered in many different, intricate tattoos etched on his skin and worn with the upmost pride. Given his love for the trade and how he is unwilling to accept making a cheap or half-finished product, Kyon almost appearing like a walking collection of priceless art. However, the one he personally considers to be priceless is a tattoo of a half-centipede coiled around a half-spider that rests above his heart. His features are attractive with slightly larger than average dark-colored eyes, a masculine nose, high cheek bones, and a strong jaw. Kyon keeps his hair very short, his dark brown hair in more styled in a slightly longer buzz cut. Out of the top of his head extend a pair of long, reddish-orange antennae. The forcipules, which extent from a specialized bulge in their forearms which hides the forcipule when it is retracted, are appear to be like a solid, black spike which can extend about half a foot away from the wrist. When it comes to clothing, he generally likes to wear any sort of t-shirt he happens to first lay his hands on in the morning. Any sort of shirt he has picked up over the years is up for grabs, so it is difficult to tell what shirt he might show up in the next day. [b]Personality:[/b] [b]Backstory:[/b] [b]Other:[/b] - Married to Lorelei

Name: Qadira Nassar (sometimes goes by Q for ease)
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Pansexual
Species: Djinn
Occupation: Owner of 'Peace' a combination yoga studio and store. The store sells incense, calming music without lyrics, yoga mats, yoga outfits, and other accessories which can be used when performing Yoga. The store has a small room in the back where Qadira takes in daily yoga classes. Qadira on the side also runs the 'ask January' section of the local newspaper. Occasionally she will predict the future for a patron, though it will always be extremely vague and confusing if she does.
Appearance: Qadira is a dark skinned beauty with an hourglass-like form. She stands at a height of 5'6" and has light clay colored skin. Her face is angular and she has wide cat-like eyes with long lashes and purple irises which seem to glow at regular intervals, and several pink gem-like markings which dot the center of her forehead. Her hair is normally tied into a long, thin braid, and varies in color, usually swapping between a dark, almost black blue and a deep maroon. As clothing goes, she tends to wear short sari-inspired dresses with a top wrapped in a darker shade and a looser, lighter under half with a dress which ends at her upper thigh. Beneath that she wears tight leggings with impressive patterns on the top. She can occasionally be found wearing a true full length sari, and other times be found wearing crazily patterned shirts and simple jeans. She keeps a pair of gold earrings in her ears, taking them out only to do yoga. She seems to like jewelry and accessorizes with two gold rings around her pointer finger, and gold bangles around her wrists which jingle as she moves. She seems to enjoy shades of red and shades of blue the most. She has a tattoo on her left shoulder blade of a tribal flower, with intricate and complex designs which make it seem a lot like a mandala.
Personality: Qadira has the ability to make everyone feel comfortable and have impact on everyone she meets to make them feel like they are welcome while they are in her store and in her yoga classes. She holds herself with natural confidence which draws all attention to her when she is in the room. She is focused, centered, and enthusiastic, with a light-hearted sense of humor. Being around her has a sort of calming effect on others and she seems to be able to sense when others are having a difficult time or carrying stress. She has good attention to detail when it comes to reading the habits and mannerisms of others. She has a love for coloring in coloring books and will often be found coloring. She can be a bit too zen at times, and sometimes a bit too peaceable.

Backstory: Qadira's family has been around Forest Nook for thousands of years. The yoga studio has been open for at least that long as well. As such, Qadira's family name Nassar is heavily integrated with the town, and its said that her family may have been the ones who decided to found Forest Nook and may have been involved in a lot of the magic poured into the barriers around this place. Her family does come to visit the yoga studio from time to time. They tend to just kind of pop in to visit, but leave the place for her to run for the most part. Most of her family have actually gone off to start other settlements similar to Forest Nook.

Qadira as such, was born and will likely die in Forest Nook, and she's more than happy to do so, using her magic to defend them and protect them from outside harm should someone wander in who is not welcome.

Qadira's mother was very loving to both her and Madigan, and the two grew up as best friends and very close sisters.

Other: Qadira mostly specializes in illusion magic which is strongest in her Yoga studio. Qadira has a 'bottle' inside her studio which strengthens her magic here, and the further away she travels the more difficult it is for her to do magic. Her 'bottle' is kind of like her heart, taking it you can control her actions. Qadira does have the ability to see into the future, however, this vision is extremely vague and usually minor. (For instance she says she sees green in your future, and you might get a salad dumped on you the next day, or you might trip and fall into a bush).
Qadira's home is actually above the Yoga studio and has that 'bigger on the inside' feel to it, with a few guest bedrooms, a large kitchen, a few bathrooms, and a large living area. The entire house is filled with slightly gaudy items like vases, a statue of an elephant man, and a talking cactus which likes to complain quite a bit.

________

Name: Madigan Pond
Age: 30
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Species: Werewolf Weredog
Occupation: Police Officer
Appearance: Madigan is pretty intimidating, she stands at about 6'2" and is has a muscular build naturally inclined toward fitness. She appears rather rough, with a square jaw and flat nose, thick eyebrows, and wide set chocolate brown eyes with a wide mouth. Her hair is thick and sheared in a pixie cut against her head, the dark curls cascade just a bit around the sides of her head. She stands at about 6'2" and is broad shouldered and rough-looking with a scar over her lip. She's almost always found in her 'police' uniform, a dark navy suit with her name emblazoned on a plaque set on the left side. She carries a walkie talkie at her hip along with a tazer, a gun, a police baton, and handcuffs with the keys in her pockets. She's almost never found in her civilain clothes, but if she is wearing them she prefers professional clothing with nice dress pants and a button up polo in varying colors.

Her 'wolf' form is actually that of a dog, due to years of selective breeding among her kind, the 'wolves' have become more and more like 'dogs'. She can turn fully into a dog, in particular one with the appearance of a Pit Bull. With a black body with light tanned highlights on each of her paws, she has a square head, swashed nose, slender pointed ears, and deep brown eyes with a bulky, muscular body and tiny nub-like tail. Her size is actually that of a black bear rather than a dog, and she can be mistaken for one given her coloring and bulky body.

Personality: Madigan is slightly wary upon first meeting, a bit suspicious and aloof, she doesn't tend to trust until someone has proved themselves trustworthy. Even then, she keeps 'fail safes' for the more dangerous members of the community just in case something goes wrong. However, when she has managed to bond with you, Madigan becomes a loyal friend. She will protect those in Forest Nook with her life, and refers to them as her 'pack.' Madigan loves her job more than anything in the world, and defending others who can't defend themselves. Madigan is very clever, and a skilled detective as well, due to her ability to sniff things out, its hard to hide things from her. Madigan can be somewhat forceful, if she suspects something, she's going to explore it and push anyone who gets in her way far away from her.
Backstory: Madigan's actual pack was killed off in a pack turf war between her family and a pack consisting of siberian husky-like werewolves. With nowhere else to go, Madigan ran off into the night before she was rescued by Qadira's mother Savannah Nassar. Savannah took in Madigan and nursed her back to health within the borders of Forest Nook, using illusions to send the pursuing pack off and away from Madigan. Madigan grew up wanting to return the favor and help Savannah. So she did what she could on the streets, picking up trash and helping out here and there. And then one day, she found a man trying to steal from a nearby shop. Her instincts kicked in and she chased the man down and apprehended him. Seeing her good deed, Savannah started training Madigan to use her abilites to help the village. So when she finally came of age, Madigan was named the town 'police officer' given the rules and regulations and expected to keep the peace in the town.

Other: Madigan actually sleeps in the office, in a massive dog bed set just behind the counter. She can often be found in the office fully transformed.
Madigan has an extremely sensitive sense of smell.
Madigan is very protective of Qadira and the Nassar family.
Technically Madigan lives with Qadira and the two are like sisters.
Madigan appears more powerful on a full moon and less on a New moon, she can change on command, though it is easier at night. Transforming does tear and ruin her clothes so she's buck naked when she transforms back. She's incapable of actually talking in dog form, though she can bark, nod and shake her head.

Lemme know what you think :D

@meely
Looks good. Just one thing. You don't mention where he works lol. Like he is a biologist, but a biologist needs a place to work lol. :3

@MissHandled
She looks good but I just had a few questions lol. Okay, so could you explain the aspects of a spirit you that you have for your character? Like is she solid or sometimes solid? And is the part about people not remember her a spirit thing as well? Also, if you don't wish to reveal her backstory stuff here, mind PMing me about it just so I can approve it? :3
