Population CountMain CharactersRen Winterbourne Light Blonde and Brown Blue Male He puts up a façade of kindness and warmth, but is actually twisted to the core and more than willing to hurt or manipulate most in order to get his way. If not for his deep seated insecurities and compulsive need to stalk the current object of his affections, which happens to be his (current) fiancée, he would undoubtedly be among the best monster hunters around.
--
Justice Winterbourne Blonde Greenish Blue Female She is Ren's sister and "partner in crime" so to speak. She has a much more level head than her brother, but is honest to the point of tactlessness at times. She isn't as naturally talented as her brother is at monster hunting, but she more than makes up for it with her dilligence and excellent focus. More often than not, it falls on her shoulders to not only do her job but to also drag her brother back to whatever important task is at hand.
--
Willow Breckinridge Burgandy Hazel Female Willow is a skilled and well practiced psychic, whose abilities mainly revolve around empathy, clairvoyance/clairaudience, and the most basic and simple forms of telekenisis. She cannot read another person's mind, but with her people skills she really doesn't need to. Due to a contract between her family and , Willow often works with Ren and to hunt down and capture or destroy craftier and more well hidden monsters. She also serves a lesser known purpose, which is to be the conscience of the group and to keep the others from going too far off the moral deep end.
--
Sable Bellamy Light Brown Light Brown Female Sable is Ren's fiancée, and honestly a bit of an anomaly in the sense that she seems to be just another ordinary woman with no real knowledge of what lurks in the dark. The woman lives her life day to day, barely scraping by with the money she makes from selling her art - which means her drawings - online. She tries to keep her head down and out of notice, which is pretty much the best thing to do if you live in Las Muertas and can't affort several bodyguards, but somehow always seems to attract trouble wherever she goes - and not always just from the local criminals. Is there more to her than meets the eye? Or is she just a genuinely unfortunate lady with bad taste in potential homes?----
There are currently more HUMANS than MONSTERS.

Introduction
Humans like to think that they are atop the food chain, that they are in control of both themselves and the enviornment that surrounds them. They've long forgotten that they are not alone in the world, that there are far nastier things hiding in the shadows. Nasty things that are just waiting until you're vulnerable and alone, ready and ripe for consumption. Well, most humans anyway. A select few are vaguely aware of what goes bump in the night. Fewer still of those individuals actively fight back against that which preys on humanity, fighting and rightfully fearing the unknown.
---
The story takes place in a fictional city known as Los Muertas, a mixing pot of cultures, ideals, and lifestyles. That does not mean that it is a decent, let alone good place to live whatsoever. Las Muertas is notorious for it's incredibly high crime rate, expensive prices, and its corruption. (Think what sort of place you'd get if Las Vegas and Holliwood had a dumpster baby, but with New York styled buildings.) The main attractions are the night clubs, casinos, and fancy resturaunts - but most people tend to focus on the former two. Prostitution is extremely common in these parts, and drugs are pretty easy to get one's hands on for the most part. And, as was implied in the paragraph above, there are ******** monsters hiding in the shadows just ready to strike. The best part is that they're all masquerading as humans, and that you never know who is a genuinely clueless mortal and who's a bloodthirsty beast who wants to rip out your intestines and eat your spleen. (Or, for the sake of fairness, who's not human but still relatively uninterested in yo' stanky a**.)

Rules
Common Courtesy Everyone in this roleplay is expected to be respectful of one another. This means several things. For example, if one has an OOC disagreement with a fellow roleplayer that cannot be immediately solved or dropped under any circumstances, the dispute should be handled PRIVATELY and not in thread. Another expectation that's being umbrella'd under this rule is that everyone will roleplay responsibly and avoid any unnecessary godmodding or cybering in-thread. The former pisses everyone off and is an easy way to get banned, and the latter is best taken to the PMs lest one also wishes to be banned. Be nice, realize that how one character treats your character in RP has nothing to do with how the RPer actually percieves you, my word is law, and blah blah blah blah you get the point.
...
Also, don't spoiler any important lore or main storyline twists without my explicit consent. It might seem stupid, but this is also grounds for getting one's a** permabanned from this thread.
----
Lore
Yes, monsters exist. Yes, monster hunters and psychics and all that s**t also exist. No, not everyone is going to know who's what or how certain factions work. People playing average citizens aren't going to be immediately told what species of monster are currently written of or how magic and things like that work. People playing monsters might be told how a couple of species work or the basics of "underworld" politics, but they'll know nothing of how the monster hunters are organized or their goals. Anyway, the point is that certain information will be kept from roleplayers unless they are playing a role in which that knowledge would be relevant to. If you are playing more than one role and your characters are of opposing factions, it is fully expected that you will handle that knowledge responsibly and not use it to godmod or spoil others on information that I haven't approved of being publicly revealed at that given moment. Speaking of which, if a given character is a psychic or a monster it is expected that he or she will hide their true identity. Vague hints as to their true nature may be shown, but it is required that they be written with the illusion that they are a "regular" human. In other words, you'll be tricking your fellow roleplayers into thinking you're a normal human if you can. You might be ousted later on in RP, but that's how things start.
----
Factions
Due to the deceitful nature of many factions, it is required that anyone who wishes to be a monster or the like PM me and discuss with me how things will work. If you want to be a species of monster I have already written information on, I will give you everything you need to know on that sort of monster and let you make your profile. If you want to be a species of monster I have nothing written for, you can either plan it out with me, let me write it, or I can give you important information on how monters and magic work and let you write the species info out yourself.
The only people who won't be required to hide their affiliation will be Monster Hunters and Civillians, although the former aren't to spoil the secrets of their faction in thread until I say so and the latter are highly encouraged to make their humanity ambiguous if at all possible. (And by that I mean make your character act suspiciously, so no one knows for certain who is a creepy crawly and who isn't.) If you are at all confused about something or need help, feel free to let me know and we can discuss it via PMs.
If you do not discuss with me your ideas/plans for your character's faction beforehand, I will assume that they are an ordinary human. If you don't want to be an ordinary human, TALK WITH ME FIRST. It's not that hard to do, I promise. I don't bite. Unless you want me to, that is...
----
Profiles
All profiles are to be PM'd to me, Animeprincess_9400. The title/topic should not be blank or have anything to do with Creepy Crawlies. Instead, you should highlight this sentences so you can see that the topic/title of the PM should have something to do with the seven deadly sins.
When sending in a profile, after discussing your plans and the faction you want with me via PM, you should only use the profile template that I have provided. It is expected that you will fill in all the information asked, and that you will not bold the entire thing or forget to pick a color. If you don't know how to change the color of your text or how to URL an image if you are using one instead of a detailed description, tell me so I can show you how. Sloppy profiles that have my code messed with incorrectly will be sent back until they are fixed.
Filling in the information shouldn't be hard, because most of the sections that need filling in do not require complete sentences by any means. The most you will have to write is three or four sentences (probably vaguely) describing your character's personality, interests, ect. - which is all in one convenient section.

Most Important Rule
Have fun! That's why we're all here, right? To have fun?

"Citizens"
Name and Physical Data <Sable Bellamy> <Female> <Brunette> <Light Brown> <Sable has a nearly faded, blotchy looking scar across her upper back with the edges of the scar being just slightly beyond her shoulder blades.> <Sable Bellamy // Picture Taken At Formal Social Gathering Last Fall> <Most often seen wearing close fitting sweaters or white dress shirts, with her favorite style of bottoms usually being bellbottom jeans or moderately long skirts. For shoes, she preffers high heels but will wear flats every now and then. Is usually seen in earthy colors like browns or greens while wearing whites or pinks far less often.> Mental Data <Sable is interested in tasteful fashion trends, saucy romance novels, old videogames, art involving the human form, celtic styled music, and "dirty humor".> <She often enjoys reading cheesy smut various forms of literature, drawing, giving make overs, and sometimes playing old and obscure videogames when she has the time.> <Sable is a surprisingly calm and even tempered individual, considering where she lives and the life she's lead. She can be quite insightful and understanding, and almost always acts as the listening ear or shoulder to cry on when her loved ones or sometimes even acquaintances are having a hard time. Oddly enough, Sable never allows most people to return the favor, usually preffering to keep her hardships and worries to herself. Don't be fooled by her pleasant demeanor or innocent face, though, for she has a far dirtier mind than she leads on.> <Poor hygiene's a quick way to scare Sable off, but overly forceful personalities and blatant violence - especially of the domestic sort - are also pretty effective. She finds excessively loud people to be annoying and difficult to be around, but on the flipside doesn't like being around cripplingly shy folks either. As a general rule, one should also avoid trying to get her to drink any sort of alchoholic beverage. It's just not going to happen if she can help it.> <Internet Porn Artist> User Data <Animeprincess_9400>
Name and Physical Data <Kudane Kamirisu> <Male> <Brown> <Brown> <None> <Another long day at work...> <Usually seen in casual to semi-formal clothes, often of an almost old fashioned variety. More of then than not he'll be wearing suspenders under whatever coat he has on.> Mental Data <Kudane likes to call himself a fan of the classical arts, partaking in theater, classical music, and literature, as well as traditional Japanese culture due to his birthplace. He also likes a good mystery, but then that's almost part of his job.> <Reading classical literature or mystery novels, collecting old pipes and tea cups, and doing puzzles, whether they be classic table puzzles or more complex logic puzzles of all mediums. He has several adorning his office.> <Kudane is a calm, level-headed person. He tends to think logically and seems to bear no temper to speak of at all. He may get frustrated, but no one has ever really seen him get angry. Despite his logical demeanor, he is a kind and friendly person who can refuse a plea for help.> <Being the soft-hearted soul that he is, Kudane isn't triggered very easily. One of his peeves is someone who oversteps their boundaries, and those with poor organizational skills. He hates a mess and won't respond to anything else until it's clean.> <Kudane currently works as a private detective, specializing in the locating of missing people or items.> User Data <Zelly-fangirl>
Name and Physical Data <Sherry Curtis> <Female> <Brown> <Green> <She has a thin, jagged scar near the base of her neck she usually covers with collared shirts.> <Sherry's picture in a concert program> <Sherry is a little old fashioned, liking clothes that looked like they came from the last century, though she always prefers feminine clothes. You'll be hard pressed to find anyone that's ever seen her wear pants or shorts of any kind. Shirts and long skirts and dresses with an antique look to them fill most of her closet, almost giving her the air of doll with her ruffles and dull colors. No matter what though, she will always have her lower neck covered. She's a bit self-conscious of her scar, so she'll keep it covered with high collars or scarves in the colder seasons, and in the warmer seasons she'll often wear a fashionable ribbon or choker.> Mental Data <Music, particularly classical music, fantasy novels, old fashioned clothing> <Playing the violin, reading, altering clothes to fit her style> <Sherry is...quiet. Mutes tend to be. She's friendly, if something of an introvert. A tad shy too. She has trouble starting conversations and will genuinely act surprised and almost flustered if someone starts one with her. She doesn't have much self-esteem, and actually feels like she's just trouble for the other person, making them wait while she scribbles out her half of the conversation in her notebook for them to read. Because of this, she tends to bottle up her worries rather than finding someone to tell them to.> <Her scar, her lack of voice, pointing out either of these things can make her smile fade, if only for a moment. Bringing up her accident has a bit of a more potent effect on her. Car accidents in general can give her unwanted flashbacks.> <Concert violinist> User Data <Zelly-fangirl>
Name and Physical Data<Trayden Tarvos> <Male> <Platinum blonde> <Ruby Red contacts; eyes are naturally ice blue> <Blind in right eye and has a tribal looking tattoo that goes around his right eye.> <A casual dude.> <Casual, comfortable clothing. He will wear some formal wear if need be.>Mental Data<Fashion trends, music of all kinds except for classical opera, fine arts, and movies> <He loves to go out into a park or just sit somewhere and watch people. He'll also take a sketchbook with him and sketch a few things while listening to music on his mp3 player.> <He's calm, slightly talkative and will ramble on about something if it interests him. He does have a darker side though that he takes medication for.> <He absolutely cannot stand it when people ask him how old he is. He also tends to get a little more malicious at the sight of blood.> <Movie rental cashier>User Data<ShizukathePudu>
Name and Physical Data <Henry Oremor> <Male> <Black> <Black> <Thin, poor health.> < 21 years old. Long, messy curly hair. Thin, unhealthy Feminine build, pale shut-in type skin. 5'8. > < Various forms of cosplay, but typical attire is a hoodie modeled after a Sailor Fukku and baggy shin length shorts. Small round spectacles. No shoes. >

Monster Hunters and Psychics
Name and Physical Data < Ren Winterbourne > < Male > < Light blonde and brown > < Blue > < He is quite well-toned for the demands of his job. Scars are scattered all about his body, especially the arms, sides, and back. > < Candid photo taken > < His menial labor job calls for a protocol dress code so at work, Ren is seen with a button-up and tie. He wears a hoodie and oxfords, if only to not look so formal. Other than his work attire, he is usually seen in an array of weird shirts with his fur trimmed coat and jeans. He attempts to cover his arms at all times. > Mental Data < Ren is interested in literature, though it is shown only slight. He loves women, especially of the foxy or wife-like type. He likes any kind of rock music, homemade cooking (spicy preferred), and making money. > < Writing is only a hobby. He tends not to be open about his passions for literature but he enjoys them greatly. His other hobbies consist of cleaning, weapon collecting, hunting, stalking his fiancée, and the occasional soap opera viewing. > < Ren is quiet, giving a faux appearance of demure. He doesn’t say much, which many interpret as shyness. Given this persona, he appears kind and sensitive. He can be slightly brutally honest, almost hurtful, but many don’t think much of it because he is so serene. However, this is only the surface to how people perceive him. His deep-seated aggression is something to fear, if only because it is erratic and uncontrolled. There are high expectations put on him by his family and organization, giving him high stress levels given the living he continues. Being a hunter is set on the boundaries of light and dark, life and death, so of course he would be like that on the inside. It makes him surprisingly insecure, and he has hidden ego issues. Like any healthy individual, he projects his stress into his violent job, his part-time occupation, and his psychotic obsession with his fiancée. He is loving towards her, but like everyone else, shows only his demure side. > < While Ren appears very outgoing, he is wildly protective about anything that has to deal with night creepers. He hates the monsters, being conditioned to, and anyone who pities them. He likes his secrets kept, so anyone who speaks aloud of these aspects makes him very serious and circumstantially angry. He hates disobedience and ironically, he dislikes disloyalty and dishonesty. > < Intern for the local paper > User Data < Creamsicle Bunnies >
Name and Physical Data <Justice Winterbourne> <Female> <Blonde> <Greenish Blue> <Justice has a fit, healthy body built for dexterity and stamina. Like her brother, she has many scars scattered across her body, although not nearly as much as him.> <Justice> <Justice normally wears casual but almost form fitting clothes. She never wears dresses or skirts, instead preffering to wear pants. (No shorts, either. Just pants.) On the rare formal occasion she'll wear a dress shirt and formal pants, as is seen in her portrait. She'll never wear shoes that sacrifice comfort and functionality for fashion - so you'll most often see her in comfortable sports shoes and the like.> Mental Data <Justice is mainly interested in her work as a Monster Hunter and anything she can do to get the job done. Which, of course, usually involves the physiology of a monster and the thought process behind its given actions. Beyond that she enjoys philosophy, athletics, and religion.> <Her hobbies are mostly done for the benefit of her work. Which mainly involve parkour, gun collecting, and paranormal research. When she isn't busy with any of the above or her work she'll sometimes sit down and read the bible or watch a sports program in her spare time.> <To put it simply, Justice is a very serious woman who happens to be quite the workaholic. She's dedicated and persistant in anything and everything she sets her mind to - which can come across as single minded obsession to some. In fact, she has absolutely no tolerance for distractions or tomfoolery when there is work to be done. This gets even worse when one keeps in mind her complete inability to sugarcoat things. As harsh as she can be, though, she isn't a completely dislikeable person. Justice often donates her spare funds to various charities, and is in fact far less hateful towards nonhumans than her brother is. She has this strange philosophy that all have a time in their life in which they can be redeemed - their prey have just simply passed that point of no return. She has no dillusions about what she does being "right" - but she isn't so naive to think that it isn't necessary either. So I suppose all this boils down to Justice being a very taciturn woman with a good head on her shoulders but would probably benefit from relaxing a bit more.> <Distractions, Distractions, Distractions. Justice does not like her coworkers or teammates getting distracted by something trivial or too unrelated to the task at hand. As a result of this mentality, she's grown to hate Sable quite a bit due to the effect she seems to have on Ren. She holds no pity for the majority of the monsters she hunts, as she wouldn't be after them if they weren't attacking someone or actually trying to properly integrate into human society. Laziness angers Justice to no end, as does the thought of a monster - or any unjustified criminal really - getting away with their crimes.> <(Claims to Be A) Bounty Hunter> User Data <Animeprincess_9400>
Name and Physical Data <Willow Breckinridge > <Female> <Burgandy> <Hazel> <Large wing shaped tattoo on her left shoulder. She also has a large scar that stretches from right underneath her pelvic bone to above her right knee. > <Just an average day in this city. > <Work Uniform When Willow isn't working, she tends to wear low cut t-shirts or tube top t-shirts with tight skinny jeans. She wears tall boots that go over her skinny jeans. She usually carries a back pack with her with all her essentials, just incase she gets into trouble. > Mental Data < Willow likes good old heavy metal music, classic science fiction ideas and themes, conspiracy theories, coffee, risk-taking, and writing stories. > <Willow likes to watch old science fiction shows, taste test different coffees, taking everyday risks by going down new streets, exploring the city, and writing down stories. > <Willow is a very expressive young lady, not afraid to show her true colors to the world. She is very opinionated and open about how she feels about others. This portrays into her morals. She cares deeply for a lot of the human race and she can get a bit agitated and angry at individuals who are doing morally wrong. She only wants to help, but in helping, she usually does more harm then actual help. She can also be hypocritical, making morally bad decisions for herself at times. > <Willow really dislikes any doctors, dentists, or hospitals that she comes across. She’s rather afraid of anybody in the medical profession. Any talk of going to a doctor or dentist office will set her off in a rage or a panic and will send her off flying down the street. Morally wrong people make her upset, and if she can’t seem to help a person, she becomes slightly depressed. She gets really peeved at people who do not see her point of view, or can’t understand justice. She hates bad decision making over anything else. It’s her way or the highway. > <Black Jack Dealer> User Data <ArtificialFlavored Cheese>
