| Hunter RP Idea |
Alright, for the past few days(While suffering from stupid headaches), I have been poking around with the idea of having an RP centered around a group of specialized people who take it upon themselves to hunt down vampires, werewolves, witches, warlocks/sorcerers, and other "evil" creatures.
The time period would be the late 1800s(or so) but in an alternate dimension of America. Basically the Salem Witch Trials...except that the fears about witches and stuff is real. The people who would join this RP would be members of a single small organization that specializes in the hunting of "evil beings" that spit in the face of God's creation and serve Lucifer. Mythical items used for hurting these beings(Garlic, silver bullets, blessed crosses, etc) would be effective in this RP. Just wondering what ideas people have for this and there opinions on it. Not a 100% definite RP plan, but something that is on my mind.

Hm....religious hating devilish witch hnting superpoweref fellows, not sure if this's my field. What does Septim say of it?
|
So let me get this straight...
You'll be hunting the unholy?
So a Celtic polytheistic war monger wouldnt be on your list of people to hunt down would it because that would suck
O_o
|
A Celtic polytheistic warmonger is merely a warlike religious man and would not be his field, I am guessing.
I'm thinking that werewolves, vampires, and witches would be his field. Could be wrong. *shrugs*

We are talking about fictional creatures that many people believed existed. Superstitions and stuff. Witches, warlocks, vampires, werewolves, and other horrorfilm-like beings that normally terrorized a group of people(A city, a countryside, etc) before finally being killed off. In this RP, it would be our job to hunt down these creatures since they are beings created by Lucifer(basically the evil figure in this RP). I guess you could say that the idea for killing evil beings came from watching my friend play Dante's Inferno. The people who would join this RP would most likely be zealous men or women who are extremely devout to their religion(We could just make up some religion. Does not necesarily have to mimic Christianity or anything like that). We see these creatures as abominations and believe it is our sacred duty to remove them from the face of the planet. I think this could be a combination of a horror and action RP...

If there are zombies at any point I'd join.
If not, I'd probably join anyway.
|
I'd be interested in joining the good cause!
|
Well, you've got my support, always wanted to have a scuffle with a werewolf.
|
Haha, well I will work on getting an introduction sorted out within the next few days. Might as well make sign ups here.
Name: (Be creative. First and last name).
Age: (30+)
Weapon: (You can be a little creative here. Guns with silver bullets, silver swords/blades, a crossbow that shoots silver bolts, etc. No semi-automatic weapons).
Membership: (The number of years that your person has been a member of Binyozi, the organization I will have as the center of this RP. Max 3 years).
Background: (Just a short short history on your person. Maybe some characteristics about their personality).
Description: (Just a basic description about your person. Nothing too detailed).
Binyozi
(A variation of Hebrew that I decided shall mean "Sons of God" in this RP. Hebrew or Judaism have no significant importance in this RP. Just wanted a unique name).
(Very simple intro. Will do a better one later).
This organization was founded 5 years ago by a man named Joseph O'shannessy, a zealous and deeply devoted man to the cause of purity in the world. Joseph, along with two other men named Matthias Greenfield and Daniel Bonaden, founded this organization in order to root out evil. A small gathering of others rallied to their cause and they grew in power, but kept mostly secret. Then all hell seemed to break loose throughout the countryside as all sorts of shadowy creatures and demons seemed to run amok in the world. Their time of secrecy was going to come to an end.

Name: Nathaniel "Nate" Tangier
Age: (34)
Weapon: Nate had, at an early age, learned how to use bladed weapons. He loves his Silver Swords, two blades and has strapped across his back, which he carries them around with him where ever he went. He also had three silver throwing daggers, with which he would very accurate.
Membership: Member for two years, 3 months
Background: Nate is very easy going. A little two easy some would say. In moments of tension or despair, he is one of the few who can say something that will either relieve the mood, or make you want to punch him in the face. He knows, and he can't help it. Hes from a decent back ground, although, before joining, it was rumored that his fiancee was killed by a vampire. This story has not been confirmed (or denied). Beneath the easy surface is a blood lust, and once he gets going, he grows rather incredibly fierce in battle.
Description: Nate carries his black hair cut short. This makes it really easy to see that intensly green eyes, that seem to shine all the time, with what is often seen as mirth. He is a tall man, being about 6'5, although a little on the light side, especially for one of his age. Only weighing 185 at his height is odd indeed. His skin is olive colored, which suggests an sicillian or greek back liniage.

[[OOC: Tell me if this is okay...]]
Name: Alexander Rookridge
Age: 35 (as of 1875; not sure when this RP is taking place. All you said was late-1800s.)
Weapons: Two Colt Single Action Army revolvers, Robur (silver longsword), two stakes, holy water.
Membership: Two and a half years.
Background: Alexander Rookridge descends from a long and great line, the first of note being Godfrey Rookridge (1443-1502), a noble who pledged loyalty to Henry Tudor in the War of the Roses. In the year 1692, Lord Howard Rookridge oversaw the Salem Witch Trials. Not long after, he disappeared. His son, Lawrence Rookridge, claimed he was murdered and vowed that he, and all of his descendants, would never stop fighting the dark creatures of Earth. Alexander was born in 1840 to Samuel and Sarah Rookridge in New York City, New York.

Samuel disappeared in 1860, while John died fighting in the Civil War. The brothers (whom are all members of the Binyozi) have spread out over the United States: Lawrence (as of 1875) is currently in the Wild West under the alias "Larry Cooper", Richard is currently in the southern United States, and Alexander is operating in the northern United States.

Jonny's is good. Septim, I think that yours is good. The only "iffy" part I saw was having been trained by his father to hunt and kill dark entities. But I am sure you won't uber and godmod :)

I will control the founders I guess but Matthias will be my main person.
Name: Matthias Greenfield
Age: 37
Weapon: Custom made silver executioner's sword. The crossguard of the sword actually is a sheath with a smaller blade. The sword is intricately designed with holy phrases and engraved pictures of miracles. A double barreled shotgun with silver shells. The wooden stock of the shotgun also is sharpened to be a stake. Carries several silver crosses with sharpened bases for stabbing.
Membership: One of the founders. 5 years.
Background: Matthias is one of the three founders of the Binyozi. He is an extremely devour and zealous blacksmith whose wife was turned into a vampire before his very eyes while he was injured. His life was spared since it apparently was not worth killing in their eyes. After he recovered from his wounds, Matthias swore a vow that he would dedicate the rest of his life to hunting down the creatures that took his wife from him, and took loved ones from others. Extreme fanaticism defines this man very well and defying him might just be the last mistake you could make. Every item he carries on him is a weapon that he custom made for killing. He works at making weapons for other members if they need them.
Description: Black hair, dark eyes, and normally wears black clothing as a sign of lifelong mourning and a taunt towards all dark beings. Very athletically built. Around 6 feet tall.
Name: Joseph O'shannessey
Age: 42
Weapon: A fast-firing crossbow that he carries with him always. It shoots silver bolts and is fashioned from blessed wood. Wild rose is wrapped around parts of the crossbow. Many blessed silver knives. Has a jar of holy water that he keeps on him.
Membership: The main founder. 5 years.
Background: Joseph is an immigrant from Ireland. He was once a priest with a congregation until they were turned into mindless slaves to a vampire that had overrun his small village. As a way to free them from their pain, he took it upon himself to kill every single one of them, including the vampire, with his own hands. Since then, he became more quiet, yet powerful man. He always seems to be quietly chanting prayers under his breath as he fights against Lucifer in the world.
Description: Reddish hair with dark eyes. Very slim but has a strength in him that seems to defy his body type. Shorter than Daniel and Matthias. Wears light colored clothes with crosses normally sewn into the fabric.
Name: Daniel Bonaden
Age: 39
Weapon: A silver longsword with engraved prayers and curses against Lucifer on it. A rifle with blessed silver bullets. The materials for the rifle were blessed before it was made, making it as deadly as the bullets.
Membership: One of the founders. 5 years.
Background: Daniel Bonaden is not the kind of man that you would want to meet under many conditions. He is very ugly, having had his face mauled by a werewolves claws when he was younger. After that event, he isolated himself from most other people and worked for several years at preparing himself to fight Lucifer. He talked to priests with sympathetic views and got his weapons blessed in order to carry out his missions. Then he began hunting creatures by himself, even thought it led to him losing several fingers and having many scars on his body.
Description: Very scarred, is bald, has blue eyes. Very muscular.
|
Name: Sam Taylor Age: 37 Weapons: One shotgun with silver shells. Two throwing knives, one strapped to each of his thighs. Some small bags of crushed garlic. Membership: 8 months Background: Sam Taylor was the son of Chris and Mary Taylor. Both of his parents were murdered when he was 2, so he has no memories of them. He was raised by his grandmother in London, who taught him all about the "religion". Coming from a wealthy family, he has never known any shortages. Description: Although Sam Taylor is only 37 years old, his skin is that of a 57 year old, wrinkled and pale. His half-long hair has already turned grey and his blue glazed eyes stare into nothingness. Sam isn't very talkative, but when asked for his opinion, you better listen to what he has to say. He can't really deal with criticism when it isn't backed up with good arguments.
[by "religion" I mean he knows the commandments, prayers and chants of the religion we're using.]
|
Name: Marcel Charles
Age: 32
Weapon: Silver dagger, small. Little revolver, not much use in a proper fight. Specific items (garlic cloves, a few silver bullets etc)
Membership: 2 months
Background: A newer member of the Binyozi, Marcel is a man full of contempt for the inhuman monsters set loose in the area. Most of his background is based on assumptions, but it is pretty obvious that he was involved in violent criminal activities at some point from his ability to handle his knife and usual concealment in the shadows. He never explains his decision to join the Binyozi, only stating that matters are complicated.
Description: A small figure with slightly sunken eyes and lank brown hair, Marcel is a weasel of a man. He speaks quickly, as if he'd rather get the exchange over with. Paranoid and shady, he tends to trust few people, and as such is only really a hanger on to the organization. Nevertheless, he is quick with his knife and skilled in stealth.
|
[I forgot to add real physical characteristics] Sam Taylor is a tall man, standing 1,93m (6.33ft I guess). He has a slightly muscular build considered normal for a person without real athletic skills. He weighs around 91kg (200lbs).

Name: Frederick Bryce
Age: 37
Weapon: Frederick carries at all times with him a blessed cross on a chain around his neck, which has both sentimental and practical value. He also carries a fairly large pole-axe, with a silver axe at the head, and a hammer, also silver, on the reverse. Besides this, he carries three stakes at his belt and a perfectly normal double barreled shotgun.
Membership: 2 years, 5 months
Background: Frederick was bought up by his father, his mother having died in childbirth, on a farm outside a small village. His father taught him to work the land, and years of manual labour have left him quite strong, and with great reserves of stamina. He would have remained as a farmer, like his father, if his father hadn't been killed by a werewolf that plauged the area. After the loss of his father, Frederick went to a local priest, who gave Frederick both the cross and the pole-axe, using which Frederick managed to hunt down and slay the werewolf. He then spent the best part of 15 years training and fighting monsters, before he found Binyozi, which he now supports fervently.
Description: Frederick doesn't look much like a farm hand at first glance, but the large muscles and slightly bent back from the years of work he put in make it obvious, if you notice them. He has a big bushy beard, as well as alot of bushy brown hair, kept under control by a wide brimmed bowler hat. He also wears a black suit to compliment the bowler hat. He's also fairly tall and has a couple of scars across his body, most of them are hidden by clothes and his huge amount of hair.

Name: Horatio Alexander
Age: 34
Weapon: Horatio carries a variety of weapons; His primary weapon is a silver katana heavily engraved with Korean characters. His secondary weapons include a shorter sword and long dagger, all designed similarly to his primary weapon. On his back he carries one of those newfangled bolt-action rifles, purchased in France.
Membership: Four months.
Background: Horatio grew up in a small mining town, far to the west in the newly formed Dominion of Canada. His town was all-but wiped out by a group of First Nations possessed by something or other. He escaped with his Uncle, who had been visiting. They wound up in the Saanich village, where they and those Natives who had not been possessed escaped by canoe.
His Uncle was a world traveling merchant, and the then thirteen-year old Horatio joined his Uncle on his travels. When Horatio was seventeen, his Uncle died while they were in Korea. Horatio stayed there in a small town, learning much from the locals (including the martial arts Taekwondo and Gumdo) until he was twenty-four, after which he finished his travels of the world. He returned to Korea to find the town had been ravaged by a frenzied group of werewolves. He hunted these down and found them weakened by their assault on the town. He killed them.
He spent the next few years killing creatures, after which he returned to North America, and having found the Binyazi group, decided to join them.
Description: At 6'4, 180 lbs, Horatio is slim, yet very lithe. Wicked fast, and highly skilled with or without weapons. He has dirty blonde hair, dark green eyes, tanned skin. Wears an experimental type of armour, it is composed of leather, some hard some soft, with steel cable sewn throughout in circular patterns as to allow movement. While rather impractical against bullets or arrows, it does provide a great deal of defense against bites, slashes and clawings. The armour covers his entire body, as it has a hood that can be pulled over the wearers head. It is black, dark, and tightly cut. All in all, Horatio's appearance is striking.

Sign Ups are closed. If I get anymore people I probably won't know what to do with them. Will work on starting the RP wednesday since it is my easiest day this week.

Wow, Charley actually got too many people! When the hell was the last time this happened?
|
It's great actually, this forum has really picked up!
|
A miracle, indeed. Maybe this forum is truly on it's way back to an activity golden age?
|
We will see...don't jinx it!

Don't count your chickens before they hatch. Zeta forbid that some don't die in their beginning weeks.

| *5 days later the RP dies from inactivity* Damn you all!! But on a serious note: Leaving for work in 5 minutes. Will try to get the intro written this afternoon(Note: It is 10:39am right now). If I cannot get it done this afternoon due to me being lazy or something like that, then it will have to be tomorrow because I have a very important interfraternal public relations meeting to attend.
