Sign Up Sandman: Chronicle One [Warning: Possible mature content]

[Skye]

[center][I][font=veranda][size=2][color=Slategray]

An old man sat at a fire. He was surrounded by the village children. He smiled lovingly, and began his tale. ?There was a man. Father Time, you know of. This was Father Time?s son, Sandman. Sandman has lived as long as Time, and won?t die till Time does ? or until someone takes his place.

Sandman was just human, to begin with. But he was immortal. Once he reached the older age, 60 years, he stopped aging. He came to children as a kind old man, and put them to sleep by dusting their eyes with sand.

This man was always kindly, and always his magic wore off with the sun?s rising. But, there was a tale of the Sandman kidnapping. Children started to disappear, and then come back a week later. It was said that Sandman was tired of his job, and wanted someone else to take over. So he gave possible ones a trial, and none have been worthy yet for training.

But I must warn you: do not accept the Sandman so easily. The ones that returned ? some didn?t ? came back maimed and lame. Some came back haunted. The Trial of the Sandman is no trivial task.?[/I][/center]


[/color][color=indigo][center][I]I understand you?ve been running from the man
That goes by the name of the sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that?s abandoned.[/I][/center][/color][color=Slategray]

The street was silent, and nothing moved in the rain but two people on opposite sides of the road. No cars came, and the houses that lined the street were dark. They loomed silently above the two loners, and a ghostly presence told them to stay away.

On one side of the street, the person was a girl. She was only 12, but she could pass for a 16 year old. Her name was Velvet, and the rain did not hinder her. She had nowhere to go, and the rain was no problem.

Opposite of her, was a young man. He was 17, and his parents had kicked him out of the house. He could not make out much about Velvet, except that she was there. His name was David. He sat on the sidewalk near his house, and didn?t expect to be let in.

A white limo drove up, slow so as not to slosh muddy water on the two. David looked up, and one window rolled down. An older man, maybe 60, smiled at him from inside. ?Do you need a lift, young man?? David shivered, then shrugged. Someone stepped out of the front of the car, holding an umbrella. David blinked rainwater out of his eyes as the rain stopped pelting him. The door to the limo opened, and the umbrella was held over David.

The man was still smiling. He held out a robe, and David slipped it on before getting in the car. He took off his shoes as the man closed the door.

Velvet watched from the other side of the road, her 12-year-old brain working fast. Something?s not right. I can feel it. She blinked once, to clear her eyes ? and the limo was gone. Velvet?s empathy was in turmoil. The magic used was strong, and even a minor could feel it.

The girl started running, slamming her shields up. She tried to sort it out. Then it clicked. [I]I could see the old man. His eyes: he was older than he looked. The butler: he, too, was older. And the car ?[/I] Velvet stopped, and turned to look at the road again.

[ColourDeaf]

Name: Leon "Kid" Gaiman ((OOC: Subtle reference...))

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Appearance: Tall and wiry, he stands at roughly 6 foot, with messy light brown hair and green eyes. He has little in the way of muscle, and wears a slightly dopey expression on his face continually (he's not the sharpest tool in the shed, after all...). His skin is exceptionally pale, denoting years of illness. His face is long with a slightly square jaw, sharp nose and his eyes are wide and soft (puppy eyes). He keeps himself clean shaven, and has two piercings in his left ear, and one in his right eyebrow.

He normally wears whatever clothes he can salvage from the Salvation Army. His favourite casual attire is a faded black T-shirt, long and baggy grey jeans, and a trenchcoat he found in his closet when he moved into his new apartment (his self-proclaimed "lucky jacket"), which bears the insignia of a red butterfly on the right napel.

Personality: Simply put, Leon is a nice guy. He's the kind of guy that goes out of his way to put insects outside, opens door for people (no matter how many people there are) and is easy to talk to. He dislikes things that cause pain to other people, and abhors the very concept of him hurting anything (he's a strict vegitarian). He's a little niave, a little gullible and not the brightest bulb in the box, but he's always out to do the right thing, and is willing to sacrifice himself if the need arises.

Empathy: Yes/Strong
Telepathy: No
Telekenesis: No

Bio: Leon never knew his father, growing up in an average lower class household. He went to school, his mother working as a nurse. His mother gave him one really good piece of advice in his life:
"Life's got too many worries already, so whatever you do, try to make people happy."
Taking that advice to heart, he's always set out to help people whenever he can. He works as a waiter in a run-down resteraunt, and volunteers to help under priviledged children and elderly people when he doesn't have work. He evens people who went to college, since he could never afford it.

This alright?

[Corey]

[size=1][b]Name:[/b] Cedric Harrow

[b]Age:[/b] 43

[b]Gender:[/b] Male

[b]Appearance:[/b] Cedric usually is garbed in an old brownleather trenchcoat that has been in his wardrobe for decades. The cracks run deep and the elbows are almost worn out. Under the coat is one of several plain button up navy blue shirts, and under those a white t-shirt. He wears a plain pair of grey tone jeans with black construction boots. His face is that of a man at least twenty years older than he, deeply lined and rather pale. His eyes are a smokey blue with small lines of red around the edges. His facial hair is kept to a minimum and a sigle silver hoop runs through his left ear. His hair is completely white.
Cedrics body is well toned, but not obviously so. He carrys a knife strapped to his left calf and a pistol strapped to his side.

[b]Personality:[/b] Cedric is one of the quietest people you'll ever meet, until he trusts you that is. He is completely skeptical of anyone until he knows you and has had a chance to 'evaluate' you. He is in a stable state of mind. As much as his job allows that is. He would rather stay in the shadows of a party than socialize in any way, and he never drinks. Every once in a while you'll spot him with a self rolled cig in the corner of his mouth, but that's the extent of his wild side. He's the last to respond verbally, but the first to act in a bad situation.

-Empathy: Yes (weak)
-Telepathy: Yes (weak)
-Telekinesis: Yes (weak)

[b]Short Bio:[/b] Cedric got into the local law enforcement at the age of eighteen, directly out of highschool. He started as a member of the gang unit and eventually graduated to missing persons. A few years in the commanding officer announced the FBI was screening their ranks to see if there was anyone that would be able to work for them, after they tested them of course. Cedric was selected and he was immediately put on the FBIs paranormal squad due to his slight mental abilities. He spent twenty years traveling the US investigating paranormal dissapearances. He was thirty-eight when he had his major brush with the paranormal. On assignment in Nevada, he was possesed by a ghost. The ordeal left him slightly unstable for a few years and lost him his job at the FBI. Five years later, he's mostly healed and had started doing investigations of his own. No money, but it still makes him feel good.[/size]

[DragnMastr]

Name: Shinyo (no last name, like Cher)

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Appearance: He's about 7' 5'' and weighs roughly 185. He has brown, anime style hair (spiky, messy, and defies gravity) and always wears a gray cloak. Underneath the cloak are just some black jeans, and a black, loose fitting shirt. His eyes are sharp and green. He pretty much wanders the country for some reason, and because of this his face is kinda dirty, and his clothes are tattered and worn.

Personality: He doesn't really talk much, and he looks like he's always staring into space. He's pretty violent, and if you set him off, you'll probably be dead pretty quickly. His weapon of choice is a dagger, otherwise, he'll just chuck stuff at you with his mind.

Empathy-no
Telepathy-no
Telekinesis-yes-strong

Short Bio: As a kid he couldn't control any of his powers as they emerged, and the other kids made fun of him for it. One day he couldn't take it anymore, and killed another kid. Ever since that he's just wandered around on his own without a home. He's had a couple run in with the cops, but he's gotten away every time. He's not wanted, because they can't really link him to any of the crimes his committed. No one can believe that he just took a section of road and hurled it at a guy with his mind.

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=plum][b]Great idea for an RPG, Skye! I hope my charcter checks out.[/b][/color][/size][/font]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=plum][b]Name:[/b] Brittney "Firefly" Hunter[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=plum][b]Age:[/b] 17[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=plum][b]Gender: [/b]Female[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=plum][b]Appearance:[/b] [/color][/size][/font][url="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/Alice1/Brittney.jpg"][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=plum]Brittney[/color][/size][/font][/url][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=plum] is pretty well kept for a street urchin. Growing up from meals that wise adults knew she would need, they can finally see that their attempts to help her have paid off. Brittney has grown up to be a pretty young lady, with a slender figure. She is a little taller than most girls her age, but not by much. She has dirty blond hair, which she keeps cut short because it's easier to take care of. But her eyes are what really seem to stand out. Depending on the way she looks at you, they change from a hazel, to a light green.[/color][/size][/font]
[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=plum]Brittney is usually offered fancy dresses, makeup, and other things most girls like, but she usually just asks for a t-shirt and pants if she takes anything at all from them, in return for listening to their problems. She's usually seen wearing her favorite black t-shirt, along with her tan pants. Underneath it all, she has a medley of tattoos running up and down her backside, and some on the front. She doesn't like to talk about them, though.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=plum][b]Personality:[/b] Brittney doesn't talk, if it seems like it would be better to listen at the time. She's the kind of person who easily smiles, despite all the troubles in life, and makes you feel like you can tell her anything.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=plum][u][b]-Empathy:[/b][/u] Average
[u][b]-Telepathy:[/b][/u] Average
[u][b]-Telekinesis:[/b][/u] No[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=plum][b]Short Bio:[/b] Brittney's parents turned their backs on what seemed like a perfect life. They had all of the everyday needs, clothing, shelter, and food, and a lot more than that. They also had a beautiful daughter which they named, Brittney. But then, when Brittney's mom ran off with another man, her father committed suicide at the kitchen table. When Brittney realized that her dad would never wake up again, she wandered the streets, being satisfied with finding a warm place where she could stay out of the rain. She blocked herself from thinking about her past, and started looking into other people's problems with her unique abilities. Then, she would talk to them and send them an image of fireflies, like the ones that she had seen flying around the city. Soon, the people she talked to, started calling her "Firefly" because of this.[/color][/size][/font]

Cursed with 'pretty boy' looks that most girls drool over, Imric usually wears a serious expression and rarely smiles, although when he does it lightens up his whole face.
As he is a travelling priest he usually wears his outfit (it looks like [URL=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/manga4.jpg]this[/URL] , the priest, obviously >.>)
If he is staying at a place for a long time he wears black baggy jeans that are ripped at the knees and an expensive button up shirt, either black are dark blue. he also wears a black sweatband and his right wrist and a thumb ring on his left hand.

Personality: Imric is serious to those who he does not know or who he is not comfortable around. Although once he knows a person well he will open up to them and help and protect them to the best of his ability.
He is mature and always tries to offer good advice (logical or religious) to anyone who asks. He is a good ally, an excellent preacher and a great friend to have.

[B]Empathy:[/B] Strong
[B]Telepathy:[/B] Very weak
[B]Telekinesis:[/B] No

Short Bio: Imric's whole family have been involved with the church in some way or another. His father was a missionary and left home when Imric was very young and he doesn?t have many good memories of their time together. His mother was ill but still attended Church every Sunday and went to pray on Wednesdays, she was on anti-depressants and many other things before she eventually died 3 weeks after Imric's 19th birthday.
By that time he had been accepted into the priesthood and was doing very well for himself, travelling around the country and preaching to people.
When he found out his mother had dies he was stricken with grief and couldn?t work or go out anywhere for 6 months. He locked himself in his apartment and refused to come out, he nearly died of starvation but his cousin came to visit him and broke down the door just in time to get his sick cousin to hospital and treated for malnutrition.
3 months later Imric was out and back on his travels but his outlook on life and religion has changed. He doesn?t believe in most things taught by the bible anymore but he enjoys his job of helping others so he sticks at it.[/COLOR]

[B]OOC I hope this is okay ^^[/B]

[Engel]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]
[b]Name:[/b] Spence Lehari

[b]Age:[/b] 13

[b]Gender:[/b] Male

[b]Apperance:[/b] Growing up in a foster home wasn't much better than the streets, as Spence is only 5'5 and 102 lbs. His dirty blonde hair is streaked to one side in spikes, to his left. A large scar runs across his right eyebrow. He is actually pretty stong under his white T-shirt with a dark red button up shirt that lays open on his chest. His black Jinco cargo jeans keep him warm, but on sunny days he swapps them for white cargo shorts. He has brilliant sapphire eyes that mask a inner sadness deep in his heart. His strong, dextile fingers are slender. He has a medium complexion.

[b]Personality:[/b] Spence is warm and kind, shrugging off the horrid life he's endured. He talks to many people, and is wise beyond his years, most of it street knowledge, but he is intellegent also. But, it you tick him off, or bring his past up, the small sadness inside him sparks and he goes mad, thowing stuff at you with his mind.

[u]Empathy:[/u] No
[u]Telepathy:[/u] No
[u]Telekinekis:[/u] Yes/Strong

[b]Short Bio:[/b] Spence grew up with a narcotic mother and a crippled father. Kimberly often stole from John, his father. When John started to resist, Kimberly got in a fight with him, and Spence threw her across the room with Telekinekis. John wanted to keep him, but Kim wouldn't have a 'freak' in her house, so to speak. She chucked him out the door, and he met Brittney once or twice. She was nice, and she listened. He was found by a couple who took him to a orpanige at the end of town. He was made fun of there, but he just ignored it. Spence was evetually adopted by a heavy drinking couple. They beat him regualry, and forced him to drink beer and the such at times. He was malnourished, but he soon recovered from that, although it still lingers in some places.[/COLOR]
