The Typist Name: Gabriel Kowalchuck Contact Information: MSN Messenger (aura-94@hotmail.com) or PM Code Word: ZoMbIE kiTTy Adoptable Should you leave the site for three or more months would you be willing to give your character up for Adoption? (Yes/No) The Character Name: Gabriel Seldren Ivankroft Age: Turned at Age 22, True Age of 73 Occupation: Gravedigger Gender: Male Sexuality: Heterosexual Dominant/Switch/Submissive: Submissive Rp Sample: Who am I? Where am I...What am I? These were the thoughts that ran through Gabriel's head as he rose from yet another deep slumber, a slumber that he, yet again, remembered as being caused by what he was now. A Vampire. He always forgot that, even after half a century of existing as a creature of the night, and it always took him a few minutes to remember who, where, and what he was. But, as always, when he rose up from the coffin he called his bed, a cozy but somewhat eccentric piece of art that was made of black oak and cushioned by red satin, his memories came flooding back into his mind. He was Gabriel Seldren Ivankroft, age 73. He was in the belly of what had previously been the family crypt, originally taken care of and paid for by a wealthy aunt an uncle but come into his possession when they died, and finally, the most important question, what he was. He was a vampire, turned at the age of 22, turned because of his distinct lack of fear of all kinds, and ultimately nothing more than a child compared to most other vampires he had made the acquaintance of. As he rose he thought upon these memories, eventually moving them to the back of his mind as he shifted and threw his right leg over the side of the old style casket, throwing his other leg and then finally lifting his entire body out by the bar that hung above his head, an addition he had made when he got tired of trying to get over the side of the coffin. But then, one asks, why did he sleep in a coffin? Well, mostly because he read too many books, he liked the idea of sleeping in something made for the dead, after all, were vampires not considered dead for the most part? And he thought it was amusing to be like a classical Bram Stoker type vampire. However, he was somewhat disappointed that after having been turned he hadn't been granted all the powers that the famous novelist had defined for his creation. Turning into a bat he could do without, but taking the form of mist or a wolf? That'd would've been cool. Unfortunately the world didn't work that way and he was sorely disappointed because of it. But, regardless, he went on with his life, and as he moved across the cold stone floor, something that always comforted him for even though he was dead he could still feel sensations and do pretty much anything he had been able to as a human. Honestly, in his opinion anyway, being a vampire was a great improvement, he had slept during the day most of the time anyway, preferring the night and the stars to the bright and hot sun, and he thought that the enhanced senses and physical power was wonderful. He was a little crazy though and tended to test his limits a lot, throwing himself into harms way more often than he should have. But, his quick healing and superhuman strength always sorted out any injuries he may have received. Though, that was neither here nor there, for now was not the time to think about these things. Right now he was hungry, and as he continued his walk across the concrete he reached out and opened the refrigerator, tearing open a packet of blood and taking a deep draw. He always kept some blood down here, usually from some animal, for the simple reason he might want a snack before he went out or might have forgotten to feed because he was too engrossed in the latest novel he was reading. And as his thoughts trailed to this and then books, he turned around and layed his eyes on the large shelves he had installed, containing a collection of several thousand books. This crypt had become a library after all of his living family had died, and he had moved all the corpses and the like into the outer rooms, turning all the inner rooms into a personal library, one that would make many a collector blanch in envy. But as usual, his thoughts on this subject were short lived, for as he turned away from them he realized he was still hungry, and of course what else could he do but throw the empty packet into a wastebasket and head out of the crypt and into the night, heading towards his favorite feeding place, a club that he could never remember the name of until he arrived. Persona: Gabriel is apathetic, he doesn't really care much about anything, aside from his collection of books and the odd things he decides to randomly splurge on, and he doesn't really make much of an effort to rise up in life. He is more than content to simply read and enjoy that which he has collected over the years, choosing to be just an average vampire rather than someone who craves power and position. He doesn't even care much for what he feeds on, taking animal, human and Lycanthrope blood all the same, having no preference either way, but often taking human and animal as they are the easiest to acquire. Weakness: Gabriel's truest weakness, is that he never fights for his own gain. He is more than happy to sit at the bottom rung, living life simple and without any form of riches. Some could say this is a virtue, but in a world where money rules and the only way to get ahead is to fight for what you want, not fighting brings you as the lowest. Gabriel is often the butt of many jokes because of this, and rarely is he complimented or given anything more than a passing hello. He could often be described as a loner, preferring to sit at home rather than hang out at parties. Sometimes, however, Gabriel may try to prove himself in some way or another, maybe by taking a dare that could put him in mortal danger, or even by allowing himself to be turned into a vampire, as was the case when he was still human. Appearance: Standing at just over six feet tall, Gabriel is average in appearance. He has short black hair, dark brown eyes, and has a slightly darker complexion. He does have a muscular structure though, his abs and pecs easily discernible from the rest of his body, and his biceps even capable of being considered large, but for the most part there isn't anything special about him. He does possess a few tattoos though, these on his shoulders, right pectoral and right waistline, these consisting of various symbols, latin terms and other such things. But for the most part, these aren't very obscure and would not stand out as anything special. History: Born and raised in Moscow, Gabriel lived a fairly uneventful life, he went to school, passing with average grades, succeeding in taking his schooling only as far as a Bachelor's degree in physical mathematical sciences and finishing his final year with an insane dare that would change his life forever. It was on a dare that Gabriel met with a man who had been rumoured to be a vampire, but which nothing had been proven and such rumours were attributed to overactive imaginations. Gabriel, through sheer audacity and a weakness in the mans ability to detect a lie, found out that the rumours were true, and subsequently allowed him to feed on him numerous times. He continued such permissions for a few months, and eventually decided that he wanted to become a vampire, allowing the man to turn him and then opting to learn from him the various things he would need to know in his new undead state. He learned the ways of the vampires, and much of the history, becoming aware of the persecution and how it was actually legal for vampires to exist in some countries. After learning all that the man could teach him, Gabriel traveled to Britain where he lived a life of ease, working a middle class job and living a middle class life, nothing special, nothing terrible, just average for the most part. For twenty years he lived like this, until he learned that a distant aunt had passed away and that he, the last of kin, had inherited her property as well as a few other things, such as a crypt that was located in a graveyard not far from her house. Gabriel, upon learning these things, traveled to Miami where his aunt had lived, promptly sold the house that had become his, and moved into the crypt, choosing to sleep ala Dracula and using the money from selling the somewhat mansion like property his aunt had left him, to buy books. Gabriel loved books, and so he used most of the money that he earned, from working as a Gravekeeper in the cemetery he lived, to buy them. For half a century he has been living like this, earning money digging graves and burying people the old fashioned way, never being seen by any, even his employers, and spending money with ease on books and any other necessities, such as the coffin he had bought because he was in a funny mood, and the fridge where he kept what he called "snack packs", packets of blood, usually animal blood, that he kept for anytime he felt hungry and didn't want to leave his books. Goals: Gabriel truly has no goal he is willing to actively work towards. He one day hopes to become the most powerful vampire, a master of all vampires, but he does nothing in any way to attempt to bring this about. He does sometimes make attempts at becoming physically stronger, and sometimes, though rarely, attempts to hone his mental abilities, but for the most part he does not try to do anything other than that which he can do with ease. Anything Else: There are rare times, very rare times, when Gabriel will take an un-budging stance on things. These usually tend to involve his knowledge of subjects, and though he will not attempt to convert another's thought process or to dominate the conversation of such subjects, one would be hard pressed to change his mind. Vampire Bloodline: Mr. Oliver, the Earthmover Sire: Vassili Gregorio Master: No Position in Kiss: Member Abilities:
Nothing in particular is special about most of Gabriel's powers, he can Hypnotize or perform the mind roll without difficulty, but both are of mere averageness, his ability to detect lies is far from the most powerful, maybe even considered weak, and his "Silent Stealth" requires some effort on his part to succeed in. His senses are mostly normal, though his eye sight is better than many whereas his sense of smell is almost non-existant. But, what he lacks in these areas he makes up for in others, his physical strength above average, his speed almost considered high among the normal vampires, and as for his ability to heal, well, he heals almost as fast as someone twice his age. |

The Typist Name: Gabriel Kowalchuk Contact Information: MSN (aura-94@hotmail.com), Yahoo (essentiallydead@rocketmail.com) Code Word: ZoMbIE kiTTy Adoptable Yes The Character Name: Ariel Age: 37 Occupation: New to Town Gender: Male Sexuality: Bi-Sexual Dominant/Switch/Submissive: Dominant Rp Sample: At least Three Paragraphs and it should be a sample of how you will rp this character. Persona: Personality must be at least one full paragraph Weakness: At least one paragraph Appearance: At least one Paragraph History: Ariel is several things; he is the son of Jalia Armona, Rex of the Serengeti Eldris Pride, a former officer in the Tanzania Peoples Defense Force and the nephew to Aldred Armona, a Tanzanian Politician. He was born just a normal human being, for his father, as was his mother, were both human at the time, and for the first nineteen years of his life he stayed that way. He was raised in a small house located in the city of Dodoma, which is in turn located in central Tanzania. Here he learned much of what would help him later in life, the domestic skills that his mother taught him, the fighting skills that his father taught him, and the political skills that his uncle passed onto him. These three people were the center of his life, and as he learned from them he acquired a great respect, for them and for people in general. His father, who was an Officer in the TPDF at the time taught him how to use numerous weapons, ranging from the standard Type 56 Assault Rifle of the TPDF, to more intricate weapons such as NTW AMR. He also taught him various martial arts, from Muay Thai to Kickboxing, as well as how to fight with knives, both small and large. These skills helped not only stay within the TPDF, but also to advance in rank. But, then again, such skills only help if one intends to fight, and with the wisdom imparted to him by his uncle, he managed to avoid many conflicts that could have turned sour. He learned from his uncle how to keep a situation calm, how to read a person and predict whether they would become violent or would just yell continuously. He learned how to tell if someone was lying by subtle shifts in their face or demeanour, and the most important thing he learned, well, that was that a physical conflict was the worst kind, and to try and avoid it at all costs. However, by putting the teachings of both his uncle and his father together, he created his own motto, to avoid fighting when possible, to never start a fight unless absolutely imperative, and to always end the fight as quickly as possible if such a thing is unavoidable. And then there was his mother, what he learned from her was all that she could impart, how to cook, clean, keep house, and how to be kind and caring. He learned most of his morals from her, and it is through these three people that he became what he has become. For nineteen years he was taught by these three, he joined the TPDF, became an officer, and then disaster struck. His uncle had displeased a group of men with his movements in the government, and one night when his uncle and father were leaving a bar where they had been celebrating a recent achievement, they were assaulted. His uncle was killed, his father mortally wounded, and the perpetrators fled. But something odd happened, his father ended up in the hospital, but quickly recovered from a wound he should have died from, and when he was released he lived his life as he had before, albeit a little faster, a little stronger, and quicker healing. That is, until the full moon came. His first full moon, Jalia turned violently and suddenly in bed, he killed his wife, and when Ariel came to investigate the screams he wounded his son too. And then he fled, he fled far, running from what he had done and later becoming the Rex of the very clan that those who had infected hailed from. Ariel in turn was infected, he changed, albeit non-violently for his father had called for him and protected him, helping him where he had not been helped. He was not the Rex yet, for he was newly changed, but he was powerful and a great asset to the pride. They taught him and his son the ways of their people, taught them how to control their beasts, and how to not be mastered. They lived for many years under the guidance of these people, and when his father, in a bid for power, became the Rex of the Serengeti Eldris, Ariel left to another country, deciding to try and make his own way in life. He entered the United States legally, and acquired a job as a bouncer for a local club. When he heard that the pride in Miami, now that the Rex was dead, was somewhat in a state of chaos, he decided that he would travel there and see what he could do to help. Goals: What do you want your character to achieve? Maybe to become a master, an alpha? Whatever applies, and please make this at least a paragraph. Anything Else: Anything you might want to Add about your character Lycanthrope Species: Lion Position in Group: If you are going to hold a title rank in your clan make sure you clear it with a staff member before filling this in. Otherwise, just put Pride Members, Pard Member, etc.. or if they are new to town or rogue then put N/A until they have met with members of their group and have been welcomed into their clan. Alpha/Beta/Omega: Beta Beast Form: One Paragraphs at least, tell us what your characters animal form looks like Basic Shifter Abilities: -Changing Forms -Increased Physical Abilities -Damage Resistant -Acute Senses -Tame Their Animal -Fluid Grace -Vampires Call Physical Lion Abilities: -Prowl & Pounce Of all the powers that Ariel possesses, his most powerful is that of his physical abilities. Stronger, faster, and far more damage resistant than that of just an average Beta, Ariel is capable of fighting on par with even some Alpha's. But this power comes at a cost, his mental powers, such as the ability to tame his animal, are far underdeveloped, and his resistance to the call of a vampire is almost nothing. The former can be easily remedied with simple physical intimidation, but the latter can be quite dangerous to himself. Regardless, his Senses are great, his feline grace carries over to his human form with ease, and when he changes forms, well, he still needs to rest, though he does take a couple hours longer than average to for resting. |
