Sign Up Hunters: Dark Blood (M)

[SilverCyclone]

((Thank you amgoddess for helping an idiot such as myself in this! Many people will recognize this title as an RPG that I made quite a while back. This is the second time I?ve started Hunters: Dark Blood, and the third actual Hunters RPG (the other was Hunters: Free of the Shadow). I have done some research on the original, and have made a few changes to make it better. What can I say; I?m obsessed with demons?and I hope that I can make at least one RPG that will end!))

Millennia ago, the demons ruled all of man. Their burning shadow fell across all of earth. Until the humans rose up to reclaim their world and their souls. Wars ensued, ultimately ending in the demons glorious defeat. Following the Shadow Lords? fall from power, the humans rebuilt their civilization. The monsters faded into the past, as did the wars between the two races. The champions of the humans died, and faded from memory. Now, centuries later, humans only know of the term demon as a fairy tale, a myth. If only this were true. The demons have returned, preying upon the humans in the city of New Vista. But, they do not nearly have the once mighty empire that they used to. Now, reduced to scavengers, the demons have begun to rely upon the humans themselves to summon them in. Recruiting Acolytes with promises of power and wealth, they are little more then nightmares, not even able to withstand sunlight. But, the demons still prey on the humans. But, they still have one more obstacle to overcome. A group of vigilantes, known as Hunters, now stalk the night as well. They excel at killing, and have only one purpose - to slay demons. Wielding blessed weapons and the power of Runes, along with the help of their companions, the Hunters strive to maintain the balance of power between demon and human.

((Basic premise of this next Hunters RPG (I really should expand my borders?) is that you?re a Hunter, someone trained to fight and kill demons. You may also join as an Acolyte if your one of them evil types. Hunters wield blessed weapons and Runes (which will be explained a bit further down) whereas Acolytes wield cursed weapons and demonic magic. You can also be a half-demon (Hunter or Acolyte) and not wield a blessed or cursed weapon. Half-demons are incredibly strong and fast though. Hunters also have an animal that accompanies them, like a dog, fox, wolf, whatever. Acolytes have either Imps, or a Mephit from a certain element. All companions can talk, though their vocabulary is limited. I will also allow a few people to play as demons, if they are so inclined (PM me first)

Runes ? The runes give you specific powers or enhance something. Only Hunters get these.
Typhoon Rune ? Increases speed to incredible velocities. Wears the user out just as fast though.
Fang Rune ? Allows the user to see whatever their companion sees.
Blood Rune ? Enhances the user?s physical strength greatly.
Rage Rune ? The more damage the user takes, the stronger they become. Once they peak, they become incredibly powerful, but are completely drained of energy.
Mist Rune ? Allows the user to take a mist shape for stealth. In this form, they are unable to do any physical tasks, but can pass through fences, keyholes, etc.
Shadow Rune ? Allows the wielder to make a max of three illusions of themselves. These illusions cannot inflict physical damage, but they are alike to the original in every other way, and useful for confusing the enemy.
Wolf Rune ? Allows the user to transform into a werewolf to increase their physical strength. Their power using this Rune peaks during a full moon, and drains them of power the longer they stay in that form. If they remain as a werewolf for too long, they will die.

[FONT=Century Gothic][COLOR=DarkRed]Awsom.

Name: Cold

Age: 56

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Side: Acolyte

Appearance: [URL=http://images.google.ca/images?q=tbn:ocqc7cV0UjUJ:http://www.rpgamer.com/games]Pic One[/URL] [URL=http://images.google.ca/images?q=tbn:6Ap5jdb2oi0J:http://www.rpgamer.com/games]Pic Two[/URL]
Note: Since my links still didn't work, I got some new ones. They serve just as well.

Companion: A minor Elemental, Silra is a spirit of Ice, twisted and evil. It cannot be seen by normal mortals, unless it so chooses to manifest itself into the Mortal Realm. If it dose, it usually takes the form of a Polar Bear, medium sized. In it's spirit form it apears as a woman, startlingly beautiful, yet evil and twisted.

Companion Skill: In its spirit form, it is apt at gathering information, which helps Cold on his mission. In its pychsical form, it is quite vicious in combat, slow and strong.

Bio: Cold (His real name long frogoten) grew up in a small Russian village, tucked away in the frozen mountainsides. Few knew of its existance, and fewer cared. It no longer exists. The demons, still trying to get a foothold in the world at this time, sensed a great, evil potential resonating from this village. Arriving in the form of an old man, they searched for the source. The source was a young boy, no more then 10.

They abducted him, and branded him with the Demon Rune, which bounds one to life as an Acolyte, and began to train him. He learned quickly, killing his master at the age of 25. Since then, he has become a key part in the destruction of mankind, one of the most skilled Acolytes to ever join with the ranks of the Demonic Horde.

Cold had been trained in the art of using the element of Ice to his advantage. In order to do this, he had to spend 5 years in a Demonic Ice Cave, it has filled his veins with liquid ice. This is responsable for his pale/blue skin, and his ice cold personality.

Personality: Cold has, oddly enough, an incredibly cold personality (Isn't that odd?) who dosn't care for much. He dose, however, share a mutual respect for his companion, Silra. He cannot taste food, nor can he enjoy the fealing of happieness. He spends most of his days furthering the Demonic agenda, whatever that may be. His favourite saying is "So many Hunters, so ittle time."

Weapons: A long rapier, given to him by the Grand Spirit of Ice, when he stayed in the Ice Caves. It is imbued with the power of Ice, so cold that it burns. It dose not harm him, since he is colder then it.

Also, he has a shield, also imbued with the powers of ice, it is also burning cold, and it is near-indestructable.

Magic: Cold uses Ice magic.

Slow: Cold uses his powers to freeze the moisture in ones body. He dose not have the power to compelty freeze it, so it only slows down their reaction time and movment speed.

Prison: Able to freeze the moisture in the air, he can form a solid wall of ice around somone, or himself, should he need to defend himself. Unfortunatly, it is only temporary, but it is still quite solid.

Whoa dang... so many hunters... man, it's sure gona be fun kickin ***... since it's like what? 5 vs 1? I like dem odds.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[SilverCyclone]

Yay! People joined!
Sword Breaker, your picture doesnt seem to work for me. Please check it.

I thought I made it clear, but I'll say it one more time. Only evil (acolyte or demon, not half demon) gets magic. SwordMaster, your welcome to change your magic so that Ranpu uses it or something, but I thought it was pretty clear that only evil can have magic. Sorry if this makes you dislike/hate me SwordMaster.

Demonic, glad to hear you like the Hunters, but please put a tad more effort into your sign up. Add more to your bio/personality.

Amgoddess, once again I thank you for helping me with this. I assume that you'll modfiy your post when you recieve my message.

Note: I wont disqualify any of you if you dont choose to make these changes, but I would greatly appreciate it. Im not such a respected user that I can do that yet. Heheh.
Keep signing up people! So far, so good!

[b]Name:[/b] Lisette

[b]Age: [/b]24-looking, 46 years old in reality
[b]Gender: [/b]Female
[b]Race: [/b]Human
[b]Team: [/b]Acolyte
[b]Appearance and Bio: [/b]
A seductive woman endowed with hypnotic crimson eyes.

The bastard of a local prostitute and a rich merchant, her mother sold her to a brothel at the age of 13. Perhaps the old woman forgot that 13 was an inauspicious number. With her first ?paycheck?, Lisette bought for herself a lovely hatchet sharp enough to chop through bone. And hack she did. Her mother?s limbs and viscera were found strewn along the church aisle along with the head of her sire. The unsuspecting legal wife, who knew of her husband?s extended family, liquidated part of the merchant?s property and gave it to Lisette. The girl bought her freedom and moved to another town.

Even though she has extracted her revenge, her thirst for blood remained unquenched. She became an assassin and went under the guise of a hostess. This way, she gained access to wealthy patrons, men and women alike, and was able to fell a number of them when paid handsomely to do so.

Demons from the Krakenhaus, a sort of exclusive brothel for the affluent, sensed her bloodlust and lured her to their side with numerous jobs, eternal youth and unlimited funds. She accepted and joined the ranks of the demons? Acolytes.

She became a legend in the hired-gun business for bagging the aloof Captain of the Guards with just a flip of her emerald hair. Another high-ranking victim who followed her for the rest of his short life. The day after their meeting, his grunts found his bloody, limbless, tongue-less self behind their station. The investigators couldn?t get anything out of him and the case remains open to this day.

[b]Personality: [/b]
Simply put, she?s a big tease. She rarely loses her cool and has mastered hiding her malicious intentions behind a pretty smile.

[b]Companion:[/b] A red cardinal named Poppy
[b]Companion?s Skill:[/b] In direct contrast with her companion, Poppy?s a beast of Light. She specializes in recovery magic but has been known to cast an offensive spell when under threat.

[b]Weapons:[/b] On her shoulder is a mark given to her by the Krakenhaus demons from which she draws her magic. It means ?Shadow? in Demonic script. The hatchet she replaced with Rune Bane, a mithril-tipped spear from Krakenhaus? store of cursed weapons.
[b]Magic:[/b] Darkness Based
[u]Shadow Manipulation[/u] ? The ability to detach shadows from surfaces and control them with her will. (No, this is not related to the Shadow Rune)

[b]OOC:[/b] The odds are raised to 2 against 5. Kyuuu!

[demonchild781]

Name: Rebecca Orlena
Age: 250
Gender: female
Race: half demon
Team: Hunter
Appearance: A tall brunette standing some where around 5' 6" with waist length hair. She's delicately made making her appear to be weak and fragile to which can be easily defeated. Her piercing blue eyes hid the torture she has endured not only as she grew, but as her life continued past normal humans. Usually found in velvet medevel grab with purple trim and draw strings for breast support. She wears thin black slacks to prevent unwanted things to be seen when flying.

Companion: white tiger by the name of Alender
Companion?s Skill: her eyes, ears, nose and fighter on the ground when she is not.
Bio: Rebecca was born into a human village 250 years ago to a woman and a man that were well known hunters. Her mother and her father had no idea that she had been "poisioned" by that which they hunted and began to raise her as just another Hunter child. When Rebecca turned twelve a very strange thing began to occur. The usually well-natured girl began to grow violent and disobeint. She began to do things completely out of her character and it went as far to the murder of one of her peers. The adults, including her parents, couldn't understand what had gone wrong so they did the last thing they could think of...they locked her away in a cell. They treated her well, with proper food and care and that's when they discovered the strange structure beginning to form between her shoulder blades. After three moons and on her sixteenth birthday, she had grown a full set of leathery black wings. Her father was outraged knowing then that Rebecca was half demon and could not possibly be his daughter. He lost control of himself and began to be violent towards Rebecca's mother. Her called her unspeakable names and turned the town against not only Rebecca, but her mother as well. On an eve of a full moon, Rebecca's father dragged her crying mother to her cell. He held her up by the throat for Rebecca to see her. "You see what you've done, demon!" he screamed at Rebecca. He threw the woman to the wall and began to beat her as if she was nothing more than an animal that had betrayed its master. Rebecca began to scream and cry, yelling "Daddy, please stop." But he didn't, yelling over and over again that he wasn't her father. That her mother was a tramp. That very night Rebecca came into her full strength and freed herself from her cell and killed the man she had once called father. When she went to take her mother into her arms to comfort her, her mother turned from her. Spitting at her and telling she was not her daughter, but a demon that had killed her husband. Rebecca left her village that night, to wander the streets of life alone. She began to take on lesser demons she came across and others that caused harm to humans. She even began to kill other half demons if they had gone astray. As she grew older, she became more and more skilled and soon became a well-known demon hunter.

Personality: A very strong willed character searching for love and peace. She never backs down from a fight and will die trying to either bring about change or for those she calls friends.
Weapons: A curved katana by the name of Razara. The handle is wrapped with heavy black fabric and strains of silver and blue topaz. A bow and arrow used for air attacks. Hand made of wood and leather. The feathers are of a rare bird with bright colors and markings.

[JoshIsMe]

[b]Name:[/b] Artemis
[b]Age:[/b] 24
[b]Gender:[/b] Male
[b]Race:[/b] Human
[b]Team:[/b] Hunters

[b]Appearance:[/b]
Artemis stands about 6'7" tall and weighs in at approximately 245 lbs. His overall build is very solid and muscular, with great definition. He has a hazel left eye, and short dark brown hair that is usually spiked but unseen because he wears his hat almost everywhere he goes. Artemis wears a wide brimmed navy blue hat that is similar to the one worn by D in Vampire Hunter D but in certain areas of shadow the hat will become pitch black. He also wears a matching navy blue trenchcoat that drags on the ground behind him and always remains unbuttoned. Over the trenchcoat Artemis usually wears a black cape that allows him to utilize stealth in dark areas. He wears black boots and one black glove on his right hand. Artemis also wears a black vest under his trenchcoat as well as a pair of black tight pants and a blue belt. On his face is a long scar going from just above his right eye to about an inch below it, and his right eye is all white, yet he can still see clearly with it, and has even better night vision than he does in his left eye.

[b]Bio:[/b]
Artemis is one in a long line of hunters born into his family. He was born in a prosperous village gaining money mostly from their fertile crops and healing herbs. From a young age his parents realized that he was special, his speed and agility far surpassing children his same age. By age eight Artemis could outrun most of the grown men in the village. By age ten Artemis was an expert marksman, and was a very good swordsman, and he was also gaining interest in weight lifting. With every passing week he grew exceedingly stronger, and it seemed he was built for fighting.

All was at peace in the village, and Artemis was growing up in an ideal environment. One night, when the night sky was pitch black and everyone was deep in slumber, a powerful half demon went through the town, killing anyone he could get to and feeding on every living thing. Artemis was smart. He hid from the creature and ran from the town, never returning.

Several years later Artemis found another home, an even smaller village which was not quite as prosperous as his place of birth, but seemed much safer. He set up shop as a weaponsmith and owned his own weapon shop in the town. He married a beautiful young woman named Katelin Roseline and lived happily in the village for a few short, wondeful years. Again, disaster struck, as luck would have it. And two half demons ravaged the village, reducing it to rubble. Artemis got his revenge this time, however. After he heard his wife's shrill screams, he awoke, only to find a trail of blood leading out of his room, and eventually out of his house, to the street, where lay her dead lifeless body.

He had brought his weapons with him, and in his immediate rage killed the two beasts with ease. This inspired Artemis, and he believed he had found his true path in life. The life of a hunter, it seemed, was a perfect fit for him. Over the next few years he killed numerous beasts, becoming well known and one of the most prestigious hunters in all the lands. He now continues his work, killing any demons he comes across, and aiming to rid the world of demons forever.

[b]Companion:[/b] Altema/Black Stallion
[b]Companion?s Skill:[/b] Altema can heal Alucard should he need it, and can also shroud an enemy in dark black smoke.

[b]Personality:[/b]
Alucard is a dark, isolated individual who typically does not enjoy the company of others. He is relentless in a fight, and will do anything to beat his opponent in battle.

[b]Weapons:[/b]
Alucard has a fairly large arsenal. His main and most often used weapons are the twin pistols Joseph and Joshua (intentional reference to Hellsing and to my name). The pistols look exactly alike, except Joseph is gold plated while Joshua is silver plated. Both pistols are around two feet long.

The rounds used by Joseph and Joshua are made of silver, and are very long. Around two inches long. Also, the bullets are filled with holy water which is released from the casing upon impact with the target. The clips each hold fifteen bullets. These pistols fire with great velocity, and are far more powerful than even an average colt .45.

Also, Alucard has a six foot long blessed broadsword with a blade composed of a mix of silver and titanium. It is sheathed on his back, and has a black steel hand guard decorated with what seems to be an engraving of an angel fighting a demon.

[b]Rune:[/b] Typhoon Rune
