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."
Most of you have probably played before, but if not, the general setting is modern day supernatural horror.
A good lore reference is the wiki: http://whitewolf.wikia.com/wiki/Portal:World_of_Darkness.
Try to focus on the lore, rather than gameplay aspects when making your characters.
Overall, be fair, be creative, and have fun!

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

Use the following template.

Name: Your name is not "DARKSLASH KILLMAN."
Faction/Rank: Are you part of the Resistance, the Apparatus, or are you of a Neutral or other affiliation? And whats your "role" in said group?
Age: Keep it reasonable if you're human. Obviously, you're not going to be 200, nor are you going to be an 8 year old hunter.
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...
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.
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. You can write your emanation here again or just your other worldly abilities here.
Equipment: Keep in mind the setting. This is Chicago 2015, so you're probably not carrying around a bastard sword if you're a journalist. Since this is a warzone, you are allowed and even encouraged to have something to fight with, but make it work.
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.

Radical Rascal



Name: Tony "The Anti-Virus" Norton
Faction/Rank: Independent Contractor
Age: 37
Race: Caucasian
Type: Human
Height: 6'1
Weight: 180 lbs
Concept: Unbiased Mercenary hired to kill glitches with top secret high-tech gear to hack and kill glitches
Brand: None
Tell: Zip
Emanation – Nada
Likes: Precision, Extreme combat, Fresh squeezed lemonade, Explosives, Making mad stacks
Dislikes: Paperwork, Desk Jobs, Losing composure, Corn syrup based lemonade, Dishonest employers
Personality: Brash but aware. Level headed so long as he feels in control.
Appearance: Basically wearing urban assault gear minus a helmet and jacket, with short slicked back brown hair and a goatee.
Abilities: Being in fantastic shape, Adept at gymnastics, combat, and acrobatics. He's just a really fit dude. Like, the perfect human specimen.
Equipment:
Digi-struct glove - Basically summons his gear outta thin air from a database
Guns - charged with electro-magnetic pulses to launch bullets n' junk. Pretty much any gun you can think of.
Electric Baton - it's a shocks stick. Pretty self-explanatory.
Glitch-Quest Shades - like google glasses but for glitch abnormalities. Includes thermal vision, night vision, internet vision, a map, etc.
Overload chaff grenades- grenades that when caught in their blast radius cause a glitches powers to go berserk. For example: if your power is to shoot fire out of your eyes, it would happen at an alarming rate that was out of your control. Like you'd be preoccupied trying to gain control back.
Biography: Tony Norton was a black-ops soldier in the US military before he eventually served his time and left. But soon he felt a void in his life. The man loved combat. The bullets flying through the air, the sounds of explosions, the adrenaline of getting smacked during close quarters combat. He picked up boxing in hopes to fill the void, man even became a champion. It did nothing for him. He began to sell his military experience as mercenary, and found he was pretty freaking good at it. Job after job he got happier. Then, the job of a century came knocking at his door. Nothing says adrenaline rush like some nerd shooting you with acid breath or trying to crush you with the earth beneath your feet. Chicago bound, Tony was looking to scrap with some freaky glitches.

Name: Reginald "Reggy" Parker
Faction/Rank: Apparatus Member
Age: 45
Race: Caucasian
Type: Glitch
Height: 5'8''
Weight: 146 lbs
Concept: Former Wise Hobo/Apparatus Veteran

Brand: His eyes are entirely milky white and he is blind as a result.
Tell: Reginald must always crawl around on all four of his limbs.
Emanation – Fabricmancy: Reginald can both telekinetically control and sense any sort of fabric within a block of himself.

Likes: Puppet shows, Music
Dislikes: Books, Movies
Personality: Very kind and compassionate
Appearance: Very long, messy, tangled black hair. His grungy, ugly appearance clashes greatly against the formal attire that he is required to wear at the apparatus.

Abilities: Knows his way around the slums and homeless of Chicago, but other than that lacks any other real life skills.
Equipment: He has a seeing eye dog named Despero.

Biography: Before the Great Fall, Reggy was just a homeless man living on the streets of Chicago. Life had been hard for him: deadbeat parents, poor grades in school, getting into drugs at a young age. Living on the streets was just sort of inevitable at that point. His obstacles made him kind and wise, but he ultimately could never put that kindness to use.

The Apparatus quickly found him shortly after the Great Fall crawling around in a blind stupor in the streets. It seemed to Reggy that he found a new purpose in life. His odd ability proved to be very useful to their cause, and he eventually became one of the most dangerous adversaries in the entire organization.

Name: Yadriel Kingsman

Faction/Rank: An independent contractor (pay him to kill peeps.)

Age: 32

Race: Black Hispanic

Type: Glitch

Height: 6”2

Weight: 250

Concept: A normal guy who viscerally loves murder

Brand: The devil’s advocate – His hair is a crimson red at the tips, this even happens to extensions, like his dreadlocks. His skin is tinged red. His teeth are jagged and the canines are larger than normal. The corners of his lips are always slightly scarred, and can burst open in rare moments of rage, showing off his sharp inhuman teeth inside of his cheek, and a shark-like mouth.
Other changes are more cosmetic, he can grow horns due to the nature of his power, and temporary wispy red tattoos will emerge from the part of his body he uses his powers on, even scaring if he uses them for too long.

Tell: Give me some skin – He always has a mild craving for human flesh, but after using his powers it becomes unbearable. His own skin doesn’t work to quell his hunger and the meat has to be fresh (don’t ask him how he found this out)

Emanation – Bad to the Bone – He can heat up and grow his bones and cartilage. He usually does this to get long saber-like claws on his fingers, but he has done this so much that his normal hands are scared and burnt, like he shoved them in a blender as a kid. He can also grow horns and spikes out of any part of his body, but doesn’t do this much because of the lasting effect it could have.

Likes: Dancing, terrible NES video games, bitter drinks, soft meats, his mementos

Dislikes: Small dogs, rude people, corrupt cops, tapioca, country music

Personality: Just talking on the phone with Yadriel you probably wouldn’t guess he was a demonic murderer. He seems laid back, enjoys conversation, and only has a slight temper, but he is a man who loves passionately, significant others, family members, music, and one of those loves just happens to be murder, So don’t get too close, or you’ll get bitten.

Appearance: Black Hispanic, amazing salon dreads, a jaw line carved by the angels, crispy hands, bushy eyebrows, and a wide nose. He also like business casual wear, but you’ll sometimes catch him in a wife beater and baggy jeans. If he's on the job he'll wear a wolf skull bandana to hide his mouth until it's time to feed, enjoying the reaction from people when they see his shark-like mouth.

Abilities: I won’t bore you with listing his powers again, but he is persuasive. The man he his to his family, friends, and business partners is completely different than the man his victims see. He isn’t so much manipulative, but doesn’t like to take his work home, and will go out of his way to be a normal guy until he gets the urge to kill or feed.

Biography: No seriously anyone can become a serial killer.

Even that straight A’s dancer boy. It didn’t start with cats and dogs, Yadriel loves animals, but a small kid in his senior class. In seventh grade Santiago made the mistake of getting on Yadriel’s bad side, probably making some off colour remark about his race, and Yadriel took a tire iron and smashed the kids head into the pavement, until the ground looked like a Jackson Pollock painting.

Once Yadriel discovered his taste for murder, it wasn’t hard for him to get away with it. He live in Extremadura, a poor city in Spain, and a few missing children was the least of anybody’s issue. Their main issue was escaping, and with the help of his step mother Claudia Kingsman, whose last name he took when he went to America, Yadriel and his family were out of a shack and into lovely apartment in Chicago.

Claudia pushed her step children into scholarship systems, Yadries's sisters getting to go to a decent high school, while he pretended to go to college, really becoming a murderer full time. No one really question his money and changing stories, perhaps because it was a cultural thing, or Yadriel just has an honest face. They are even accepting of him being a glitch, once he explained what it was. Abridged version, of course.

Becoming a glitch was probably the best thing that could have happened to him, and the worst thing that could have happened to the surrounding public. Quenching his tell put new life into his murders, and thanks to some protection from the organizations that hire him, he’s not about to be arrested for his crimes.

Name: “Diva” or Deana Angela Credenza

Faction/Rank: Whaaaa?

Age: 19

Race: Really /really/ white

Type: Glitch

Height: 5”1

Weight: 110

Concept: A cute ditz with cool powers

Brand: On a wing and a prayer – Her hands and arms are covered by full black wing tattoos, and she has two small wings on her back, which are totally useless and easy to hide, but too cute not to show off.

Tell: Talkin’ shop – She must buy something from any store she goes into and cannot wear the same outfit twice. Whether that last one is actually is tell has yet to be seen.

Emanation – Dream weaver – She has the ability to cast basic illusions and can control dreams. Her illusions cannot be extravagant, only work on one or two people at a time, and cannot physically injure someone. She could put a bug in someone’s drink, but can’t make someone think a bear is mauling them.
He power over dreams though is absolute. As long as she is touching the sleeping person, she can give them nightmares or craft a story for them.

Likes: Jazz, mall food, West Side Story, holding hands, jersey knits, and puppies

Dislikes: Water bugs, greasy foods, silence, being alone, and generic tattoos

Personality: She bubbly, a bit of a ditz, and goes out of her way to be accepting of everyone. She liked being around and with people, and Facebook stalks just to figure out how to be more appealing to someone. She never loses her temper, but can be a cry baby or pouty.

Appearance: Aryan, blonde curly hair with a purple streak, button nose, small frame. She usually wears trendy clothing, and shorts that barely constitute a belt. She likes to wear heels to feel taller.

Abilities: Other than dream junk, she tried to put people in a good mood, telling bad jokes or awful puns. She has horrible timing with humor, and sometimes gets a laugh if only for how terrible the joke was.

Biography: Diva never asked for this glitch stuff.

Ever since she was a kid she wanted her life to be a musical, always joining school plays and bawling her eyes out when she didn’t get a main part. She was an awkward kid, with frizzy hair and a voice that was high enough to pass the threshold of cute, right into annoying.

It was like that up into middle school, but when her father ran for senator in the state they lived in at the time, she started getting noticed, maybe even popular. People started treating he differently, so she started treating herself differently. Buying the right clothes, wearing the right make-up, playing the part of the lead character she always wanted to be, but in real life.

In high school she had a huge group of friends, at least until her father decided to move so he could get a better chance at ruling the world. Diva joined theater in her new school, ruled the roost for a good a few years, and had ambitions of becoming a Broadway star out of high school, but then she became a glitch.

When it first happened she thought her life was over, hating her skin, hating her powers and her entire senior year was spent wishing she could be anybody else. But being the daughter of a man running for senate had a few perks. It even helped further glitch rights, as her dad had her 'sob story' to throw around, winning quite a few votes.

Diva still isn’t sure she’s accepted her powers, but she is comfortable in her own skin, now, and is still at least trying to break into the booming Chicago theater community, so long as she doesn’t get roped into more of this glitch stuff.
