Thanatos: City of Shadows interest thread

[Gorefiend]

Fine, I'll be Mors. Though I'd like the Mors leader to tell us about himself.

Name: Azetheros Lorien
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 180 lbs.
Race: Latino (if available. Otherwise, White)
Hair Color/Style: Black, not an afro, but about half an inch from his scalp to where the hair is combed. Also, almost always looks badly combed, becasue it is natuarally harder to comb than normal.
Eye Color: Brown
Clan: Mors

Description: A lean, muscular man, with big, thick bones (accounting for his weight). He is the kind of man who would never ask an underling to do something he wouldn't be willing to do himself, and values his honor greatly, though he is willing to throw it away for his master, if need absolutely be. Is generally smart, and has been able to plan many a sucessful attack on his enemies. He prefers to attack his enemies when they don't know it, and has developed a keen sense of stealth. Also skilled with a katana. Enjoys reading.

Abilities: Has a way with words to rile men to battle. Also has a familiar, a black dog (labrador) named Gorefiend. Or Gorey for short. (what?) Gorey is a smart dog, though slightly smaller than normal. Trained from an early age to fight, and also trained as a homing dog. Has his master's sneaking ability.

Weapon: A katana, which is sharpened almost paranoically.

Clothing: A black trenchcoat-like coat, but with a neck that sticks up. (think Dracula here, I guess...) Black pants, white shirt, and black leather boots. The coat is buttoned in such a way as to conceal most of the shirt, leaving only the neck exposed.

My sheet may not be perfect... but I'm trying here. Sorry if something is mstaken or exagerratedly strong... I get the feeling that something is...

[Obsolete57]

I might actually join this thing, though I am "dead" by some people in this forum's thoughts. Anyways, getting to business...

Name: Sirus Argetlam
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Height: 6"0
Weight: 175
Race: Caucasian
Hair: Brown. Flows down to about a half an inch off his shoulder
Eye Color: Green/Blue
Clan: Mors

Description: A quiet man who refuses to talk about his past, or present. He usually wears long flowing robes and has a hood veiling his eyes. For those who have seen him, he doesn't look intimidating. He doesn't appear to have any visible muscle or strength, but he is actually quite strong. He also seems to have a way of getting places and seeing and hearing what he isn't supposed too. Though he may seem harmless physically, he is actually very skilled with his rapier which he carries around almost everywhere. Intelligent, cunning and very loyal to superiors.

Abilities: As mentioned before, he has a way of getting places and hearing and seeing things he's not supposed too. His familar, ironically enough, is his own shadow which he can control at will. While not as powerful as his head of clan, he has considerable power over shadows for one of his experiance.

Weapon: A rapier which he has considerable skill with.

If you want me to change something, just say so.

[Ryu Kurai]

Damnit! Stupid pop-up eats my character sheet for breakfast just as I finally start on it. Now, you should know why I'm always upset...

Name: Silmuun Reid
Age: 49
Gender: Male
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 164
Skin: Lightly tanned white
Hair: Jet black
Eye Color: Ice blue
Clan: Mors

Description: His face is starting to show signs of wrinkles. His nose is a bit longer than most peoples, and his mouth seems to stretch a bit too wide when he smiles, which is rarely before anything nice happens. Has his long hair tied back with a black ribbon. He wears a black silk cape lined with black fur at the collar and at the edges. Underneath it, he wears a black vest lined with a dark blue trim over a black button-up shirt that has a thin line of dark blue trim also around the collar. He wears black dress pants with a black belt that has a lage, ornate silver buckle that is covered with saphires and various markings. He also wears black leather dress shoes that have a sleek shine to them.

Abilities: Silmuun has the strongest abilities of anyone in his clan, mostly because his shadow creatures can exist without being in contact with him. In reality, they have to touch his shadow at least once a day to contiue existing, but to his followers it seems as though he could always be watching them. He has several specific shadow creatures whom have specific personalities that he permits existance quite often. A popular belief is that these are extensions of Silmuun's personality, although he simply believes that these beings exist in a world of pure shadow and he can grant them existance in the world he lives in (GM's choice). Regardless, they are extremely powerful guardians, mercenaries or simply whatever he assigns them to. He is the only oen who knows the range of each one's abilities and which form they are currently assuming, as well as where they are. He had given them the ability to change their own form at will, as well as speak telepathically. The five he often summons (Whom I shall chronicle after his bio) have unwavering loyalty to him as well as the ability to speak with him at all times, no matter how far the distance. These five only have to touch his shadow once every week. Other than that, he can envelop various things in a pitch darkness, from someone's head to a small room. Can also nullfy all sound that he makes, although the sound that his actions make is not nullified (If he doesn't slap his hand over someone's mouth when they get stabbed and die, they can and will still scream). He also has a smaller shadow familliar with him at all times that is a part of his shadow. Its prescense is not widely known because it is generally believes that Silmuun is so powerful that he can manipulate his own shadow to affect thigns by himself. It can create a tentacle or hand to use as an extra arm, it can act as a shield, but it cannot become sharp in any way. It can also sense spiritual energy. Silmuun calls it Ulomis.

Personality: He is calculating, manipulative, double-talking, twisted and ultimately, a jerk to you. His prescence, however, is so powerful that few can resist following his orders. This aided his climb to power and made the aquisition of his office quite easy. He mostly speaks in a quiet, patient tone with everyone, getting a bit louder when friendly, at standard volume when upset, and often says nothing when infuriated, simply orders one of his famillairs to kill the offender while they are alseep. He only cares truly for one thing: An increase in his power and control over his clan.

Weapons: Carries a small knife with him at all times, but mostly uses his famillairs to take out any major threat. The knife has small sappires on the hilt an a very well polished blade.

Now, for "The Five".

First of the Five

Name: Deos
Typical Form: Typically uses a tall, heavily muscled humanoid form (mixes and matches races) with spikes on it. Has been known to take the form of a raven or of a large spined snake with a hood. Has yellow eyes.
Personality: Deos is Silmuun's right-hand familliar, and the head of the five. He is often blunt, stating his master's orders, and not one to converse, merely one to take action. His voice is deep and guttural in one's mind. He often sends a screech into his opposer's mind if he ever enters an actual fight.
Weapons (most likely to be used): Claws, bare hands, spikes.

Second of the Five

Name: Allebre
Typical Form: Typically takes a womanly shape. If ever in animal form, takes the form of a house cat. Always has blue eyes in some way or another.
Personality: Allebre is typically sent on missions to assassinate men with a weakness for women. She is extremely decieving, conniving, and is a suck-up to Silmuun. She is the kind who beackons from a dark alley and can lure even a man who has had a happy mairrage for five years inside. Her voice is light and seductive.
Weapons: Knives, short piercing objects (on occasion, nails).

Third of the Five

Name: K'Shog
Typical form: Seldom assumes a humanoid form, but when he does, takes on an almost feral looking shape. Typically is in the form of a large wolf. Assumes animal forms, the kind depending on the situation. Always has white eyes.
Personality: K'Shog despises humans except Silmuun, the reasons why unknown except to the two. He is sent, often with a "pack" of extra shadow wolf familliars, to kill anyone running inside or outside the town who needs to be killed. His voice is seldom heard, but he sounds gruff and is to the point. He enjoys growling or making the noises native to his form.
Weapons: Own natural ones.

Fourth of the Five

Name: Mol
Typical form: A humanoid figure. Often covers himself in a hooded black cloak. Sometimes turns into a puddle of shadows and drips along a wall or the floor. Has greenish eyes.
Personality: Unlike most of hsi fellows, Mol is a heavy talker. He is skilled at gathering information and also at gaining other's trust. He usually repays this to his enemies with a nice shadowy blade in the chest. His voice is charismatic and removes tension normally, but can change to a raspy whisper which frightens most living things, typically used as he last speaks to his target with his blade in their skull.
Weapons: Curved knives, swords.

Fifth of the Five

Name: Eddie
Typical form: A gargoyle-like figure is most likely. Shapechanges the most often out of any of them. Eyes, if any, are red.
Personality: Easily the most loyal of the five, Eddie acts as a bodyguard for Silmuun. He is very seldom ordered to leave his side, but he always returns as quickly as possible. He enjoys killing and torture, but is not above talking to people and will only attack if ordered or if he feels his master is threatened. He often shapeshifts, on occasion for no reason. His voice is loud and echoes.
Weapons: Shapeshifts into many forms, typically slashing weapons though.


Sorry about ripping off Eddie, but the other four are origional. I think I limited my ammount of familliars well by having them have to touch Silmuun's shadow, but if that's not enough I can change things or use my other character.

[Fuzzydoom]

Name: Liam
Age: 16
height: 6'5 and growing
weght: 215
Race: Caucasion
Hair color/style: Black with mettalic blue highlights, spiked
Eye color: an eerily bright green.
Clan: Moros

Description: Amazingly large, strong and slow to anger, Liam is a favorite for negoitiating with the more hot headed members of the other clans, he has had multiple run-ins with Kronta, and holds him in a spot of respect as a man of his word. Liam values honor above all things, making him extremely loyal to his people, though he has on occasion stepped in to help a member of another clan if he feels they are being forced to endure too much, such as torture for extenuated periods.

CLothes: He wears black work pants and boots as well as a black shirt with the words "Love and Destroy" written on the front in red. Over top of this he wears black, silver lined jacket.

Abilities: Summons a pitch black bull with extra long horns, pointed teeth, and eyes that glow red. It can spray fire from its mouth, as well as gore people on its horns.

Weapons: He carries a bastard sword inscribed with ancient runes of power and strength as well as a Long bow that would have been incredibly difficult for most other men to draw if they did not have Liams strength and size.

Are familiars not supposed to be powerful? I think I may have to tone my familiar down a bit. What say you oh great GM?

[Mintaro]

As for the Hex, Hireing a mercinary would be like saying we couldn't do something ourselves.

The Cers are in charge of the weapons markets, so they would obviously also have the largest ammount of thugs and gunmen so another hired assassin wouldn't be much to them.

But the Mors have to use secrecy to kill. What better way then using a third party.

[Kenshkrix]

Mintaro has brought a good point to my attention so I have decided to change to Mors instead of being a mercenary.

[Ryu Kurai]

Might I say to you: W00t. *shakes your hand vigorously*

So, when do we begin? (I know my character hasn't been okayed, but I really want to start.)

[BassDouken]

Name: Jerik
Age: 28
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 161
Skin: Olive
Hair: Red
Eye Color: Brown
Clan: Mors

Description: Jerik usually dresses well. Often wearing a suit and tie with nice shoes and a watch. Underneath his shirt he often carries a bulletproof vest which gives him a slightly larger and more imposing persona. His hair is combed back and is medium lenght. Jerik often smiles even when he is alone. Some people see it as devilish, others see it as charming. Jerik often is defensive in demeanor. He dodges questions, but can be direct if need be.

Abilities: Like most Mors, Jerik has the ability to summon creatures out of shadows. He has a small blade that is on the outside of his hip. It is hidden beneath his pantleg, but can be seen sometimes. Jerik has been trained with that blade for a long time so he is well aware of its abilities. Jerik is powerful with the blade, but is usually more defensive with it. His shadow familiars come in three forms. One is takes the shape of a dragon. It is fairly small, but can change its size depending on the situation. Jerik refers to it as Gern. Gern usualy is a spy, being able to change its size allows it to be incredibly small, making it able to hang on walls and listen into conversations. His second shadow familiar is more of a companion and pet. It resembles a spider with its many legs. It usually hangs on its arm and accompanies him everywhere. No one knows what exactly it is, or what exactly its name is. But Jerik calls it Munumbe. The third shadow functions as his secretary and servent. It takes on a feminine humanoid form. She is known as Eve.

[senfood]

Alright, I think now would be a good time to close sign-up. I'll let Bass post his CS and then I'll post the final roster, give final instructions and move the thread to the RP thread.

Oh, and Ryu, your CS is ok'ed ^^

[Gorefiend]

Um, yeah... I wanted to know if I, um, got in... And, seeing as all the other house's people have been finalized, to be sure of how many are where. If it's no offense or excessive bother.

This is what I got so far. I'm using user names, by the way, not character names.

Cer- (Leader) senfood (Luitenant) Death Dealer (Other) Geos, Reimyou
Hex- (Leader) TheBlindMime (Other) ThanosofTitan321, Mintaro
Mors- (Leader) Ryu Kurai (Other*) Gorefiend (Me!), Obsolete57, Fuzzydoom, Kenshkrix, BassDouken

Have I got it right?

*Since no liutenant position has been assigned, I didn't put anyone there. I will say that I personally would like the spot, but I'm sure others do too, and will let those greater tham me decide. Give it to me. Give it to me. Gove it to me! Give It To Me! GIVE IT TO ME!
