This roleplay forum is based off of White Wolf's New World of Darkness tabletop RPG series, with a main focus on Demon, the Descent's "glitches."
See the "What is a Glitch?" post in the General Information section for guidelines on abilities and quirks.
Overall, be fair, be creative, and have fun!

NOTE: For making "Glitches," please refer to our note on Glitch powers, mechanics, and lore. Use the skeleton as a guideline and fit in your brand, tell, and emanation however you see fit!

ALSO NOTE: You don't HAVE to be a Glitch. There are other World of Darkness classes and species which you are free to look up and try out. In addition, you could just be plain jane human! Do whatever it is that you feel comfortable with!

OKAY, JUST ONE MORE NOTE AND I'M DONE!: Before posting your first post, try to let one of the admins (Or at least SOMEBODY) give you a "Seal of Approval." In addition, try to not make TOO many characters before we get the ball rolling! Or, if you do, put them on the bench and help prove to everybody that you're actually going to use the ones you had!

Use the following template.

Name: Your name is not "DARKSLASH KILLMAN." Your name MIGHT have been "Derk Slush Chillman," but lets try not to push boundaries people!
Gender: Binary, non-binary; just give us some pronouns.
Age: Keep it reasonable. The Great Fall was somewhat recent, so you aren't some 500 year old glitch godspawn.
Race: Nationality
Type: (If un-human, specify. E.g, what type of glitch, vampire, lycanthrope, etc.)
Height: Duh
Weight: Duh
Concept: Example: Loose-cannon cop, vampire socialite, curious occultist, rabid cult leader...
Alliance: Are you part of a specific group? Are you a loner? Where do you stand in all this mess? If you feel this one is unnecessary, feel free to just skip it.
Brand: (If applicable)
Tell: (If applicable)
Emanation: (If applicable)
Likes: Be creative
Dislikes: Again, be creative
Personality: Just enough to understand your character. No need for anything too detailed.
Virtue: Pick the purest. (Chasity, Temperance, Charity, Diligence, Patience, Kindness, and Humility)
Vice: Choose the worst. (Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride)
Appearance: If you don't have art skills or have not been gifted a picture by somebody who DOES have art skills, then write a description.
Abilities: Keep them fair. You're not perfect, even if you are a supernatural being. Your Emanation is further up, so this is your more worldly skills, like cooking, jogging, or singing.
Equipment: Keep in mind the setting. This is London 2017, so you're probably not carrying around a bastard sword if you're supposed to look like an everyday journalist.
Biography: Write a nice paragraph here.'


If you have any other "info" such as quotes or something that you wanted to add, feel free!





***Some more rules***

1. After you finish creating a character, do not make any posts until you have been given the official seal of approval. You'll know what that looks like.

2. We're okay with y'all using myths and legends to provide a basis for your character, but please do not blatantly rip off a preexisting character from another universe.

3. Do not use NPCs from the WoD core books.

4. You ARE permitted to use your RP character from the tabletop campaign. However, what happens on the forums will not affect what happens in the tabletop campaign.

5. Be original. No Mary Sues.

6. If your character does not get approved the first time, we will work with you in private to ensure that the proper adjustments are made. Please do not take it personal, we're here to help!

7. Multiple characters are allowed, but make sure that you use different colored text so that we may distinguish them.

8. The question "Killable?" has been removed. You are mortal. Everybody is mortal. If your "power" is that you're unkillable, well howdydooda, ya got me, but otherwise everybody can be killed.

Remember, ask questions if you must, but not on this page. PM us.

Name: Lucile Petit

Alias: Le Voleur Fantôme / The Phantom Thief, Myst

Gender:
Female

Age: 28

Race:
French

Type: Glitch

Height: 5’7’’

Weight: 123 lbs

Concept: Quirky, obsessive thief

Alliance: Loner

Brand: Snapshot – Lucile views the world discontinuously. Instead of observing things as a video, she instead sees them in still-frame bursts, such as a a film reel or a series of consecutive photos. As she uses her Emanation more and more, the time delay between each snapshot becomes greater. This can make some of her actions very reactionary and jerky instead of fluid. Despite this, her mind is working at the same speed, allowing her to process what she is seeing at a normal rate. In addition, her brand also leaves her with peculiar eyes; strangely reminiscent to a cross between a camera lens and an insect’s eyes.

Tell: Kleptomaniac – Has an uncontrollable urge to take things. It drives her to pursue her larger goals of thievery, but it also sways her minor day actions. Whenever she visits an area for an extended amount of time or interacts with somebody longer than a few seconds, Lucile must steal something of theirs.

Emanation: Mime – Lucile is able to generate and shape force fields that are near invisible to the naked eye. The force fields are between the strength of sturdy Plexiglas and weaker bullet-proof glass. Myst needs to have her hands contacting the force field in order to maintain it, and she can only generate so much volume of force fields at a given time.

Likes:
Shiny objects, parkour, tall places, peace and quiet, tea with sugar, American men, birds

Dislikes: loud, braggart, or otherwise annoying people, heavy objects, coffee and soda, claustrophobic situations with crowds, summer heat, dogs

Personality: Lucile is very reserved and antisocial. She tries to avoid dealing with people when she can, and even then she makes sure that they know how much she dislikes the conversation at hand. Overall, she is very dry and deadpan in her speech. At the very most, her humor will be dark humor that will warrant only a chuckle from her. She is slow to act, precise in her actions, and smart as a tack. Althoguh she was bold as a thief before, becoming a Glitch has made her a great deal more daring and venturesome.

Virtue: Patience

Vice: Pride

Appearance: About average height, but skinny enough to look borderline malnourished. Has an even shorter version of a dark-haired pixie cut, showing off her gaunt face and piercing eyes. Fair skin that hasn’t seen the sun in a long, long time. Her “Voleur Fantôme” outfit is a series of patchwork grays and midnight blacks that form something similar to a fantasy rogue’s cloak and stereotypical ninja outfits. It has strands of fabric that flow behind it.

Abilities: Can sew, pick locks, does parkour, and has decent computer know-how. Surprisingly good at finding out information and being quiet.

Equipment: Lockpicks, two concealed knives, cellphone, wallet, fake ID, and a self-made outfit. Also a small bag full of random crap belonging to other people. Also has a few birds at home, Chagrin and Folie.

Biography: Lucile grew up poor without many belongings of her own. Her father worked hard to no avail, her mother was overworked, and she was the second youngest of five other siblings. Anything their family did have was stretched thin, and she was by no means either of her parent’s favorite child nor the most adored sibling. She kept to herself at school, distancing themselves from those friendly enough to reach out to her and out-casting herself from those edgy enough to call themselves outcast. She went through her youth with her head in a book or with some meaningless skill, never quite physically or intellectually nourished.

Over time, she realized she had a knack for thievery. She was so insignificant in the lives of others, even her own family, that nobody really bad her mind or suspected her. It started off with stealing her sibling’s belongings. Then it escalated to the test answers at school. Finally it began to be more dangerous things such as people’s wallets and jewelry. Lucile left home to make it on her own at 18 years old, and has been wandering around from place to place ever since.

Her talents had been honed by the time the Great Fall occurred. She was wanted in most major cities in France and had been arrested at least once in most of them. In one way or another, she always managed to get away. Other petty criminals, and even more wealthy clients, have even hired her to achieve their own nefarious goals. Once she came into her powers and unique Brand, she remastered her abilities and talents to match her new form.

Nowadays, the police know her as Le Voleur Fantôme, although she simply calls herself “Myst.” Her new goal has been to infiltrate the most guarded homes and museums and pilfer famous artwork and treasures just to prove that she can. Currently, France is awaiting an assault on the Louvre any day now; as per a particularly boastful note they received. Instead, Myst has traveled to London without their knowing, and has her sights set on quite a few big prizes.

Antony Lived a privileged life, we was well taught, well, fed, and well taken care of. To an outsider he had the perfect life.... WHICH WAS CORRECT because yeah it’s was basically perfect.

Recently he's learned about the glitch problem in Chicago and heard rumors about them here in London but that's probably just the kids gossiping... right?

Saharabellum


Name: Rheon Faraday

Gender: Male

Age: 204

Race: White; English

Type: Warlock

Height: 6’1’

Weight: 170 lbs

Concept: Collector/Skeptic Warlock

Alliance: High Warlock of London; representative for London in the International Association of Warlocks

Brand: None
Tell: None
Emanation: None

Likes: Collecting magical artifacts, throwing extravagant parties, flirting with either gender, traveling, winning bets, books, libraries, knowledge, power, anything that benefits him personally, really.

Dislikes: The unknown, Glitches, Religion, Spiders.

Personality: Fun and life loving warlock that is a little untrusting, but likes uncovering the truth.

Appearance: Tall and athletically built. Blood red hair that’s shaved short on each side with longer locks in the center, messily slicked back. Piercing hazel/golden eyes and a charming smile. His typical outfit of choice is a black pair of slacks, paired with a white button up dress shirt, sleeves rolled up of course, and a red pendant necklace that was given to him by the previous High Warlock of London as a gift. Rheon is a very fashion forward kind of guy, so he clearly has an outfit for every occasion.

Abilities: Magic (duh)

Equipment: Who needs equipment when you have magic?

Biography: The son of Michael Faraday (known to most as the father of electromagnetism) of South London and a seductive greater demon, he was born in 1813. To most this might seem curious as Faraday was a devout Christian, but greater demons can make people do curious things. This greater demon in particular was able to implant false memories leading Mr. Faraday to believe that his wife mothered Rheon. Once Rheon’s magical abilities started blooming, they sent him to a Christian boarding school in an attempt to “purify” him and estranged themselves. There, Rheon developed a distaste for religion because professors and pupils alike treated him like well…Satan spawn.

One dark night in the courtyard of the school Rheon picked a fight with another student and his magical powers were revealed which attracted the interest of an elderly warlock nearby. He intervened and took Rheon under his wing as a mentee, taught him how to harness and control his magic, and how to hide it from the sight humans. This man acted as a true father figure in Rheon’s life and when he passed away left him the title and fortune as the new High Warlock of London.

In the present day, Rheon lives a comfortable life with his fine tuned skills and lives for the thrill of life, adventure seeking. He takes odd jobs if given the opportunity to travel to somewhere he has never been before or if there is a powerful magical object to be obtained from it. His main responsibility as High Warlock of London is to ensure that supernatural order is kept and fears that these new glitches could be the making of a great magical war to come.

(Picture coming soon :D)

Weight: 115

Concept: Herbalist

Alliance: Friends, family, and a good scone ;)

Brand: none

Tell: none

Emanation: none

Likes: Food, specifically scones and cheese, searching for flowers and herbs that haven't been discovered, making salves and potions to help care for close family and friends, hiking, candle making, tea, knitting, needlework, gem stones, having a pint The Clachaig Inn, nature, and animals

Dislikes: Technology, Christians, Donald Trump, violence, stakes (especially ones with fire), British people (that's a secret dislike), salt, windchimes

Personality: Friendly, but wary of strangers, sees a little more into people then most care for

Appearance: Slender, sun weathered, long grey hair, often laced with a few flowers. Favors long flowy dresses. Appears to be about 50-60.

Abilities: Can read peoples thoughts and emotions to a T, has healing powers without herbs/potions, but prefers to hide it, can also cause heart attacks and strokes accidentally and purposely, but only when in a rage, can knit extremely fast and skillfully. Knitted items are stronger than normal yarn made items and have slight magical abilities, depending on the item (i.e. knit rope can move with my directions, and support heavy weight)

Equipment: A basket with knitting supplies, healing salves, scones

Biography: Was born in 1922, in a small town in the Scottish Highlands, to two very loving and supportive parents. Mother passed down the art of healing, and other powers, father passed down the love of scones. Was educated in a small village school, and did moderately well. Volunteered to be a nurse during the second world war, and excelled because of her healing background. The great love of her life was one of the men she healed, and together they raised three children, two boys and a girl. All three are successful, two are still in Scotland, one son is a pub owner, the other is an accountant, and her daughter lives in London, where she lives a happy life as a doctor, with her partner and 3 children. Flora is retired, after continuing a career as a nurse for 40 years, and spends most of her time gardening, knitting, spending time with husband and friends, and selling her wares in local fairs. Flora is currently visiting her daughter, which is what brought her to London.

NiaNook

Name: Maurice Babbleton

Gender: The Manliest

Age: 62

Race: Filthy Limey

Type: Glitch

Height: 6’0

Weight: 173

Concept: Rubbery British Stereotype

Brand: Rubber Man – His entire body is somewhat elastic, even his bones. He must constantly focus his emanation on keeping his bones solid, or he might begin to go a little noodly and limp. In extreme cases, he may completely ‘ragdoll’ (Think “Ragdoll physics” in 3D videogames)

Tell: An urge he cannot resist, he must make a phone call to someone once every morning and once every night. With very few friends and close family to call, he sometimes dials random numbers anonymously to get it over with.

Emanation: Melting and Freezing – Directly related with his brand, a solid object may begin to look a little droopy. “Does your lamp look crooked to you?” and a liquid object may solidify “this waterbed feels hard”. He does not necessarily make things hot or cold, but he can, within reason, alter the state of matter, but they must be within proximity.

Likes: Stew, insects, glamour, a good clean haircut, classical literature, mustache-fashion (aw yeah), parties, dancing

Dislikes: Sloppiness, forced conversation, timidness, minimalism, those who have fame without talent

Personality: A little haughty and uptight, but Maurice prides himself as a gentleman who ideally wants to spend the weekend seeing shows and socializing. He is dutiful and likes to be busy, and dresses to impress! You’d think he was a CEO or something! …but only in his dreams he is. Sadly, people often mistake him for having some form of Tourette’s syndrome.

Virtue: Temperance

Vice: Envy

Abilities: He is very limber and agile for an old man, but perhaps that is because of his glitch-effect.

Equipment: He carries with him a cane and a few trinkets within his pockets. Speaking of which, he has a very nice pocketwatch.

Biography: Little is known about Maurice and his family. Those in London would say the entire Babbleton family had appeared out of thin air, with very little records to show for their life before. Whatever wealth their family may have had before, Maurice is quite poor, but always puts in the effort to appear otherwise, paychecks going to grooming supplies for his mustache, dry cleaning, and fine wine. His parents are long passed, and his only other family, his brother Gildermore, had been unheard from for over a year, now. “The man was too soft, anyway”, he would say, if asked whether he was sad over the loss.

Currently, Maurice works as a door-opener, a restaurant bus-boy, a valet, whichever job he holds down before some ‘rubbery’ accident causes something to go seriously wrong and he loses yet another one.
