Case

Name: Allen West Nickname: Old Geezer (NEVER to his face) Gender: Male Age: Older then anyone else in town, He won?t say how old he is but he is believed to be somewhere around 85 Appearance: [URL=http://members.xoom.virgilio.it/katrinchen/volume2/brom_gunslinger.jpg]Here's the Old Geezer.[/URL] Personality: Although most people think that he is just some senile old man, he is actually a very wily and skilled gunman. He is usually very thoughtful and likes to think things out, however he decided a while to pretend to be a senile old fool in public so that the criminals wouldn?t expect him to be a competent sheriff. Occupation: The Sheriff Hobbies: Whittling, drinking, reading, smoking cigars, gambling, looking up skirt at the local whorehouse, and napping. Weapons/Possessions: Two very old rusted pistols, (May be rusty but he makes sure they still shoot perfectly straight), and a cane that he sometimes to beat those young whippersnappers that don?t respect their elders. Other Information: He?s blind in one eye, mostly deaf, has terrible arthritis, has trouble walking without his cane, and has none of his original teeth. He may be old now, but he was once possibly the greatest gunman on earth. He moved to Dustero Town back when it was first being established, he took the role of sheriff way back then and has been in that position ever since. (OOC: If you want me to add/delete/edit it in any way please say so, and I?ll do my best to do it.)

Name: Ansatsu Age: 310 Gender: Male Race: Half-demon (father was a low level demon brute who was cast out of hell after killing many other demons for fun, and his mother was an average female.) Bio: Shortly after his father imbued his mother with a child, he left her never to see her again, giving her nothing except some throwing knives to give to the child. After his mother died giving birth to him he was taken to a monastery to be raised by priests. A few years later they noticed his shape shifting and correctly guessed that he had demon heritage. After torturing him to an inch of his life, trying to exorcise a non-existent demon, they cast him out into the world hoping that he would die on his own. After surviving on his own for while he decided to try and track down his father and find out what happened to him. He has been wandering around ever since. Personality: Almost seems like he has multiple personalities. Sometimes calm and collected, other times panicky and scatterbrained. His mind is like an enigma wrapped up in a riddle, tied off with a little puzzle ribbon. Has very strange habits, such as he can only sleep while strung upside-down by his ankles, and instead of eating regularly he only eats ingredients separately and raw. Weapon: Throwing daggers that his father made from bits and pieces of other demons he killed. Powers: Gradual shape shifting. (His appearance changes over time, however it is a slow uncontrolled process.) Also he is oddly resistant to other demons powers, causing most to either effect him partially or not at all.

Name: Sam Beck Age: 37 Gender: Male Background: Sam grew up in a small town, yadda, yadda, yadda, dreams of sailing the seas, blah blah blah, became a pirate. Looks: Sam is a simple looking fellow. Standing 6?2? and weighing 250 lbs. He has an imposing stature. He would look quite fearsome, if it wasn?t for the fact that he insists on wearing a dress?I mean a cloak (that looks a lot like a dress.) Personality: Sam is a bit nuts, just a bit. He is completely normal except for his obsession with his cloak/dress, and the fact that he will only eat pizza and corndogs. Also since there is not anyone who is captain, he will refer to everyone as captain. Sample: Gar, Sam be a bit tired right now, so he be off to bed. Probably fill this in sometime soon.

Name: Dante Hikes Age: 27 Gender: Male Weapons: A special shotgun that Dante made in his workshop, it can be disassembled and some individual parts can be used as weapons. Description: Short and lanky, with long, dark, hair obscuring his face Dante in not in the least bit impressive. Under the Dante?s hair he has a face that cannot be called handsome, he has red eyes, and a vicious sneer on his lips. Standing a meager 5?5? and weighing only 130 lbs, Dante looks out of place amongst the Dark Seraphim. During the day he usually wears a simple outfit of a plain white t-shirt and black pants, at night however, he dons a strange long-sleeved black shirt with a strange yellow and red tie-dye design on the front, along with black jeans with a special strap to hold his shotgun. Bio: Dante is a bit different then most other gang members. Although most people assume that because he is often silent he must not be very smart, he is actually a very smart person. He has been living a life full of gangs and gunfights for as long as anyone can remember him. The reason he has been able to survive for so long on the streets is that, originally, he worked for any of the gangs as a freelancer, taking jobs as a hit man, and also as a weapons maker using a workshop he bought to make specialized guns. Unfortunately after a while, his business ethic of working for whomever offers the most began to increase the number of enemies he had and diminished the number of friends. With former friends trying to get rid of him, Dante turned to the Dark Seraphim for protection. The old leaders of the gang realized that if he worked for them, he could be a great asset for them. However when Sergei and Irena used the Guardians to take over to gang, Dante stayed on the sidelines. Watching the battle from a distance Dante saw the Guardians and became intrigued by the power they possessed. He hopes to use the united power of all three weapons to kill his old associates, as well as allow him to establish himself as the head of all the gangs.

One time when I went to my friend Chris?s house he was playing a friend of his, Ben, on an X-box game called ?Unreal Championship?. Seeing as the X-box and the game both belonged to Ben, he was massacring Chris. Eventually after losing 3 straight rounds, Chris let me play Ben. Now I have never played on an X-box before this and never played Unreal Championship before, but after a basic explanation of the controls I decided to try. The little cheater Ben, decided to turn on a mutater called insta-gib, that?s where you get a one-hit-kill weapon with unlimited ammunition, along with having 10 computer controlled characters fight us as well. Needless to say Ben was killing me no problem whatsoever. Then I for some reason changed my grip on the controller so that I held it like a Playstation Analog controller. (My first gaming station was a Playstation and it came with an Analog controller, I am God with those.) After that, I began to wipe the floor with him. We were playing to 50 kills, and I had amassed 6 kills before that, and he was winning the round with 38 kills. He had a 32 point lead, and after adjusting the controller, I killed him and the bots 27 times without getting hit once. Then I got the rest of the kills needed without getting touched.

I hail from a place called Erie, its in Pennsylvania. If you look closely at a map of the US, on the northwest corner of Pennsylvania there is a small jut of land, that?s Erie. I am a 16 year old soon to be repeating sophomore in high school. As for occupation I enjoy saying that I?m a Freelance Bum, but that?s not true. I work in a restaurant cleaning off the tables and taking out the trash. Also I work as a web comic Editor/Publisher, but that doesn?t make me money, and besides it hasn't be doing to well recently because my scanner is broken. I hope to either a comic or a writer when I?m older. Favorite Food: $3.00 French Bread Pizza Favorite Music: Broadway show tunes/Late 70?s and 80?s early 90?s Favorite Saying: Build a man a fire and he?ll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he?ll be warm for the rest of his life. Video Game of Choice: Soul Caliber 2 (I?m terrible at it) Win-lose ratio at Warcraft 3: 0 and 10 (I just got it last week . . .yes I?m that deprived.)

For the anime character that best represents me, I would have to say Rei from Vampire Hunter D. Like me, Rei is somewhat honorable even though he will use dishonorable means to acheive what he wants. Also like me, he isn't the most powerful person, but what he is good at he does very well. [img]http://theotaku.com/vampirehunterd/pictures/d/small_059.jpg[/img]

Name: Gavin Tate Alias: Silhouette Gender: Male Age: 20 Height: 6?6? Weight: 250 lbs. Personality: Gavin is a somewhat ?puzzling? individual whom has been diagnosed with everything from being antisocial to being apathetic. Regularly antisocial, he scarcely talks to people when he doesn?t know them very well. After a while however he develops a comfort toward certain people and will be quite talkative to them. Gavin also has an immense thirst for knowledge, although he is already very gifted, he still does research whenever he gets a chance. Physical Description: Gavin has brown hair that covers a great deal of his face including his matching brown eyes. Under his hair, he has a somewhat handsome clean-shaven face. Although he is a rather sizeable individual, he is not in the least bit muscular, with the weight, for the most part, evenly distributed throughout his body. His choice of attire is a long black trench coat, with a black suit underneath. He also carries around a cane sword with him at all times Pseudonatural Abilities: Gavin can perform a rarely found physical altercation where he becomes a shadow. Proficient at silently gliding along walls and hiding in preexisting shadows, Gavin?s ability gives him excellent stealth capability. Along with stealth Gavin can also take small items with him into the shadows. However if a bright enough light is shined on him when he is a shadow he revert back from a shadow. Country of Origin: Germany Biography: From his early childhood Gavin was recognized to be a highly intelligent person who could go on to do very great things. However fate was unkind to Gavin, even though he was born into a rich aristocratic family. Through a series of bad investments and luxurious spending, by the time Gavin was 14, his family was broke and could not afford to school him. Embittered by the fact that his potential could now never be reached, he left home and eked out a living stealing from others. One night, two years after living as a thief, he was caught by the police and was chased into a dark alley. Pressing against the wall he suddenly sank into it leaving only his shadow behind. After the police gave up looking for him, Gavin emerged from the shadow and realized how much potential that his newly found ability might have. After the night in the alley the crimes that Gavin committed steadily grew more and more risky. Then one bright, clear, sunny day while spending some newly ?acquired? money, he saw a diamond necklace in the window of a jewelry store. Walking over to the window, he took out his cane and smashed the front window. Calmly taking the necklace he strolled over to a building one the other side of the street. He then pressed against the wall and began to sink into the shadows. Suddenly he fell out of the wall, not understanding why, he pressed against the wall again, and was spat out again. After being apprehended, the police, realizing what he was, turned him over to the government, who gave him two choices. He could either be executed for posing a threat to the English crown, or he could join the Academy of Pseudonatural Sciences.

Vincent was actually surprised that he enjoyed the time he spent with Mia conferring about that man in the photograph. After a few more minutes of talking, he finally said, ?Well now, thanks to the yearbook, we know what the man?s name is, and so finding his address should not be very hard.? With that Vincent walked over to the information desk and asked the attendant for a phone book. Bringing it back to the table where Mia sat he opened it and began flipping through it until he came to the page he needed, with a satisfied grin he showed the address to Mia. ?Look at that, now we can go and ask him some questions.? With a sigh of contentment he gave the book back to the attendant and ask Mia if she was ready to go.

After Jason walks into the wall Vincent just stares very hard at the photograph for a few minutes as they made their way to the library. Eventually after a few minutes of not saying a word, Vincent looks up and lets out a sigh. ?In the picture he is holding her rather close don?t you think. That is usually a sign of deep affection. Odds are that this man is either a close friend or a close family member.? Vincent turned to see that Jason was more fixated on Mia, who was walking in front of them, then in what Vincent had to say. ?Uh, yeah whatever you say.? Jason managed to mumble. With a rather disgusted sigh Vincent continued on planning on tell Mia about his thoughts next time he got a chance to talk to her.

(Hope this is alright) Name: Vincent Hawk Gender: Male Weapon: modified shotgun Appearance: Vincent has eyes that, although brown, usually look like they are black, and the same goes with his hair. He is normally seen wearing a rather oversized gray trench coat with many large pockets. Under that he almost always has a long-sleeved black shirt, with a strange yellow and orange tie-dye pattern on the front, along with a pair of black dress pants. Bio: Vincent is a strange and reserved individual whom rarely, if ever, expresses any emotions. Despite having a mind that is one of the brightest ever known. However his anti-social behavior, and lack of motivation to do tedious work, means that his brilliance will go largely unnoticed. He is always in need of money for one thing or another, so to make money he often resorts to stealing other people?s things. He hopes that by helping to solve the mystery he may somehow find a way to make money of it. His favorite weapon is a shotgun that he made himself; it is a special shotgun that can be taken apart and hidden in his trench coat.
