[FONT=Book Antiqua][COLOR=Indigo][CENTER][I]Murderer. Stained. Dirtied. Bloody. Unclean.[/I]

It whispers in your ear.

[I]Murderer, stained, dirtied, bloody, unclean.[/I]

You did not choose this path, but you shall be forced to walk it.

[I]Murderer stained dirtied bloody unclean.[/I]

Someone else is taking over, and you cannot help yourself at times.

[I]murderer stained dirtied bloody unclean[/I]

How strong is your will to overcome yourself?

[I]murdererstaineddirtiedbloodyunclean[/I]

So much death around and your hands... oh, your hands![/CENTER]

A group of youths awoke in the middle of the night, huddled together with blood on their hands, and marks on their foreheads. The royalty, the scholar, the fortune teller, the acrobat, the apprentice, and the artist. Each unrelated to the other, except for the fate they now share. They have become experiments.

They found themselves in a mansion both elegant and terrifying. Each had dreamlike memories of killing like raging beasts. They can feel it just beneath their veins, a force of utter darkness clawing at their insides, desperate to escape. They have become experiments, trapped in a twisted place with twisted people, and they are being made twisted themselves. There are others there, as well, but they are not there to help.

The beasts inside them are the worst kind: they are the dark halves of their hearts.

They must find a way to escape, and a way to cure the voice inside them screaming for them to bathe themselves in blood. And maybe, in the process, find who did this to them.

[B]Gender:[/B] If you wish to be something besides the general definition of male or female, go for it.

[B]Personality:[/B] Nothing bright and sunshiny. You can be kind, but do not be chipper.

[B]Evil Side's Personality:[/B] Key differences between your good and bad halves. Twist it to fit your character. If your dark side has any particular habits, list them.

[Orien_Xel]

Name: Stefan Fischer

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Character: The Acrobat

Personality: Stefan is a cynic. He fully believes that most people are ignorant morons, simply living out their lives and dieing. Religion is a psychological crutch, nothing more.God is a lie, perpetrated by people in order to gain power and mainpulate the masses. He will not hesitate to use sarcasm and dry wit to make his point.

He is, however, resigned to his fate to live amongst fools. He will suffer them, quietly.

Evil Side's Personality: His darker side goes even further into his cyncism. People are ignorant fools who do not deserve to exist, let alone [i]live[/i]. As such it is his right to remove the most useless and moronic ones from the face of the earth through any means possible. His darker side will openly deface religious symbols whenever he can and will intentionally go out of of his way to insult and belittle virtually everyone.

Appearance: Stefan stands at 5'10" with dark hair and hazel eyes. His build is slender and fit, much like a runner or a swimmer. He is cleanshaven, although after a few days stuble will begin to appear on his face. His cheeks are slightly hollowed and his face almost looks gaunt.

He is wearing a pair of blue jeans, running shoes, a navy blue t-shirt, and a leather bomber jacket.

Writing Sample: I'll have to add this later. It's almost 12 at night, so I need sleep...

Other Notes: n/a

[FONT=Book Antiqua][COLOR=Indigo][B]Name:[/B] Dominick Jenner

[B]Age:[/B] 17

[B]Gender:[/B] Male, as far as he can tell from his books on anatomy.

[B]Character:[/B] The Scholar

[B]Personality:[/B] To most, he is simply lacking human emotion, a cold individual who would much rather save a book from a fire than a person. Much of his time is spent wrapped in the worlds formed of ink and paper. Dominick sees the world as one huge experiment, and enjoys reactions from people when he does or says something cruel. He cannot stand, however, for anyone to try to play with his mind.

It is a most difficult task to engage him in a real conversation, because he is only interested in people when he can frighten them. He lacks respect for anyone. Despite having a cool exterior, Dominick is extremely passionate if someone is able to push him over the edge.

[B]Evil Side's Personality:[/B] At the same time, both cheerier and crueler than Dominick. While Dominick will not normally harm someone physically, his other half tortures people with a smile on his face. He gleefully laughs while playing with his "subjects," trying to maximize the pain they feel, wanting to be as close as possible during their death. The Marquis de Sade's writing has nothing on Dominick's other half.

[B]Appearance:[/B] Long fingers and scarred hands are usually covered by black leather gloves. His complexion is pale, almost sallow, with dark circles under his eyes from sleepless nights of reading and trying to distract himself from life. His hair is a mousy brown. He paid no attention to its length until he realized it got in his eyes when he read, so he hacked most of it away with a razor, leaving uneven spikes. If Dominick did not need his eyes to see, he would most likely gouge them out because he hates their bright blue hue.

Whatever clothing he puts over his bony, small frame is black, usually EGA in style. The two article he always wears are a knee-length black coat with a large collar and cross buttons, and a black ring on his right thumb.

[B]Writing Sample:[/B] The sound of early risers filled the streets below Dominick's window. Some laughter, some greetings to neighbors, some vendors calling out to their customers. All the charm of a small town which would be more correctly called a village. Dominick considered pouring oil in the streets and lighting everything on fire to shut them up, but reconsidered after he realized their screaming would be louder and more annoying.

He left his books on the table and went to bathe. One of the servants, knowing his habits and the punishment he might inflict if dissatisfied, already had a bath drawn. He washed quickly, shivering when the water became cloudy with soap. Something long ago and blurry flickered across his mind, a vague feeling of hands holding him deep under murky water, and being unable to breath. A fuzzier, but newer memory came as well, a vague feeling of the color red. Both passed quickly, and Dominick blocked both of them from his mind.

He dried, and dressed, and returned to his books. Today would be another day of solitude. His father ran a shipping business, and spent only a few hours at home each day, and none of them with Dominick. Not that the boy minded. He was content to study and torture the maids.

A scream from the hallway reached his ears, causing a brief smile to curl his lips, then disappear just as quickly. The newest maid, he supposed, had just found the rabbit's head he left under the sheets in the guest bedroom.

[B]Other Notes:[/B] He cannot stand to have physical contact with most people, just the thought of which makes him cringe. He also has an intense fear of water when he cannot see into it.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[font=Franklin Gothic Medium][color=RoyalBlue][b]Name:[/b] Mariah Teppengale

[b]Age: [/b]15

[b]Gender:[/b] Not counting her secret, Mariah is female

[b]Character:[/b] The Fortune Teller

[b]Personality:[/b] A bit timid at times, Mariah can be a little selective in who she opens up to. But when she trusts you, she trusts you with everything.

She does however, disguise her nervousness by talking. and laughing. So that people will think of her as a friendly and open person. She's grown quite well at faking a smile.

[b]Evil Side's Personality:[/b] When Mariah becomes her other half, she is a bit more withdrawn than usual. Rarely talking to others, she will be content with just staring and observing them.

However if she meets a 'demon' she will kill it in fear and without hesitation.

[b]Appearance:[/b] Pale black hair, always in a ponytail. Mariah's brown eyes stand out from her fair skin. Her height and weight are average, for a girl her age.

The unusual feature in her appearance is down below. She does her best to hide it, fearing what some might think. Still the nature of her abilities has forced her to reveal it to some.

A dress with a long collar is Mariah's usual choice of style. Usually a dark blue in color, but sometimes red or green as well.

[b]Writing Sample:[/b] -Working on this-

[b]Other Notes:[/b] Mariah's greatest fear is to be cast away from others for what she is. Her greatest love is probably music. The violin and piano especially.

[SIZE=1][B]Name:[/B] Ivy Elizabeth Alexandra III

[B]Age:[/B] 20

[B]Gender: [/B] Female, without a doubt

[B]Character: [/B] The Royalty

[B]Personality:[/B] Ivy has a very high opinion of herself; she is rude and at some times can be very crude towards others. Ivy will not hesitate to point out someone?s flaws to them; she can be quite loud but usually looks over everyone with a condescending smirk. Ivy likes to believe she has no fear, and this may very well be true. She doesn?t react to situations with emotions but instead with her intellect. Ivy has zero trust in people but can be quite the actress when push comes to shove.

[B]Evil Side's Personality: [/B] Ivy?s other side takes her fearlessness and extends on it; she will do practically anything without fear of danger or anything else. Like her normal half her other half has a deep love for history ancient and modern but namely ancient methods of execution. She will go to great lengths to ensure she replicates the exact method as it was done in ancient times. She is not adverse to trying medieval methods either. In her eyes people that do wrong should be punished and shown the error of their ways, and be made and example of. If ivy is backed into a corner she will fight her way out kicking and screaming without fear.

[B]Appearance: [/B]
Her face is rather well defined and feminine, her eyes are a bright chilling blue, Ivy's hair falls down onto her shoulders, blonde and wavy with flecks of ginger. Her skin is very pale and her cheeks are constantly a rosy red colour.

Ivy may well only be 20 but she takes great pride in the fact that she can make herself look a great deal older than she actually is. She usually wears long dresses, dark colors, decorated with ornate patterns or a simple black long skirt and white blouse with a red tie or scarf. Oddly, Ivy usually wears a pair of rather manly boots over feminine shoes.

[B]Writing Sample:[/B] -Will edit soon-

[B]Other Notes:[/B] Ivy has a deep love for history, ancient more than modern. She will spend days on end reading or researching hungry for more knowledge. Her interests lie predominantly with Egypt but she loves all areas.

Ivy id descendant from a long line of royalty, her family is very wealthy but all she asks of them is her own private wing full of history and a few extra rooms for other activities.
