STONE, Ruby
Seventeen • Senior in High School • Nina Dobrev

Was best friends to Amelia Devenn, and younger sister to James Stone, Ruby is someone you will always want on your side. Very loud and a friend to everyone, she is slowly finding her place in the world. Outspoken and a bit of a gossip, she has no problem in telling you what’s on her mind or why she dislikes you. Lives with her grand parents Rona Ann Stone & Mark Lewis Stone and brother. She loves spending money, hanging out with the girls from high school, shopping is her favourite past time, working in the local clothing store and loves getting caught in the rain. She and Amelia don't see eye to eye anymore sadly.



STONE, James
Nineteen • Senior in High School • Ian Somerhalder

Is best friends and is in love with Amelia Devenn, and older brother to Ruby Stone. Complete opposite to his sister and rather like to say he’s an only child. Although in school is normally always stuck around Ruby and Amelia, he doesn’t so much mind Amelia but he can’t stand his sisters annoying voice. Like Ruby, James lives with his grand parents Rona Ann Stone & Mark Lewis Stone. Loves listening to a mix of music, driving is something he does all the time and likes spending time alone. Can be very romantic when he wants to be, is kind and gentle and very smart. Often enough, he goes to Amelia’s for ‘study’ sessions and of course just to hang out. But he has yet to tell her of his affections.



REDFORD, Samuel
Forty Four • Chief of Police • Gerard Butler
Claimed By:

[/b] James!

Husband to Rachel Redford, and father to Adam, Chelsea and Aiden Redford. A total hot headed and over protective man. Extremely stubborn in his own ways and likes to drink a bit to much beer on his nights off. Enjoys spending weekends with his family and prides himself in taking care of the Valley. Doesn’t believe in all the supernatural mumbo jumbo, but thinks the kidnappings have something to do with a out of town group that wish to do harm to the towns people. Hates donuts and rap music. Loves exercising and dogs. But hates cats or any type of small creature.
If taking this character talk to Amedeus about possible mini-plots for the site



REDFORD, Rachel
Thirty Six • Head Hospital Nurse • Diane Lane

Wife of Samuel Redford, and mother to Adam, Chelsea and Aiden Redford. Extremely friendly and overly motherly to young people. Is very good at helping others and would do anything to give a helping hand. Still gets hit on by men and some often ask why she is with Samuel, often always replies ‘Because he’s amazing in bed’. Likes to stay healthy so theres always healthy food in the house and hates fast food. Would do anything for her family and although Samuel hates it, Rachel is now beginning to believe in the supernatural.



LAWSON, Emilee
Twenty Six • Supernatural Investigator • Olivia Wilde

Came to town just five months ago after the kidnapping started, was just passing through the town and spent one night in the Valley before deciding to stay and started renting out a small flat down Main Street. She’s a very personal person and would rather keep things to herself. Believes about anything supernatural, is a huge fan of the X Files and reading up about werewolves, vampires or shape shifters. Has only a few close friends and seems to be very attracted but also dislikes Mr Ryan Hartnett. Annoyed with him as he doesn’t believe in the supernatural occurrences in the Valley or the fact he’s not open minded.



DEVENN, Ryan
Twenty Seven • Dep. Chief of Police • Jake Gyllenhaal

Older brother to Amelia Devenn. At first thought, Ryan may look like a ladies man but he’s quite the opposite. He tends to shy away from any female that gives him ‘feelings’ and that’s mainly down to his nature. If you manage to get past that, you will find he is a loyal and loving guy. He can be very small minded and quiet but romantic and loud at heart. Doesn’t believe in the whole supernatural thing and hate’s the fact he’s been partnered up with Emilee Lawson but does actually like spending time with her, secretly. Likes listening to jazz and rock music and taking long walks in the late evenings. Is often always in his patrol car driving around town or at Ladysmith Diner annoying his younger sister. Hates the idea of women dating older men, like ten years older and would very much like to start a family one day. [/blockquote][/center]

IVANOV, Adora Latonia
Age Unknown • CEO of a Medical Supply Company • Emma Roberts

[/b]
Claimed By:[/b] ennie!

Few people know much of Adora Ivanov, those that did know her are either long dead or are of the few that she trusts. Born centuries ago in what is now considered Russia, Adora was the child of peasant class parents blessed with astounding beauty and desire. Her looks would take her far from her simple home to dancing on the streets for money at the age of ten. She always yearned for more than what her peasant life allowed and she caught the eye of a wealthy trader at the age of twelve. They married, Adora content with the lifestyle he could provide her. She would donate funds to churches on the occasion and give rations to the poor when she had extras to spare, never forgetting where she came from. Until her husband was murdered when she was 15. At the loss of his life and funds, Adora slowly lost her mind and was killed at 17 in a rage for doing what was the 'right thing' for a peasant. Her charity and her sense of doing the 'right thing' opened a slot for her as an Angel (one of the first female angels known), working for God himself. That was until she wanted more than what he could give her or allowed her to give to others. When Lucifer rebelled, she took to his ideas and found herself not only following some of his beliefs, but sharing them with other Angels. When Lucifer lost the battle, Adora was cast out of heaven, loosing all her abilities but telepathy and down to earth to live without the love of God. She is seen as conflicted from her own personal desires/wants to those of others around her. Those closest to her see her kind side-those untrusted get a cold shell of a woman who shares nothing.



DIMITRIE, Nicolae Lucian
Nine-Hundred • Companion & Second to Adora• Tom Felton[/b]

Nicolae Lucian Dimitrie is someone that is the best in everything he does, no matter if he is truly inept at it. He is cunning, adaptable and resilient in all his endeavors, which is how he found himself tossed out of Heaven and at the side of Adora. His mouthy disposition cost him his middle rank in the army of Angels when he 'expressed' his opinions on the Arch Angel Michael and his belief to do a better job than Michael himself. Finally after countless heated verbal arguments (and a few acts of physical violence), ultimately he lost and was tossed from God’s side with wings still intact. Soon after he was found by Adora, who was excited by his 'kingly' disposition and not only took him under her wing but took him as her lover too. Nicolae believes Angels (even fallen ones) to be the supreme species, practically invincible. Rumors say his reaches in the hierarchy of Fallen Angels are higher than where he is now and that he is simply biding his time...Others say he's learned his lesson from when he barely escaped with his wings intact, but thank goodness he still holds the ability of teleportation to get him where he needs to go still.



LAMBERTO, Catherine Anne
Six hundred-ten • Professor • Mika Boorem[/b]

Catherine's tale is a hard one to chew. Born in a time when women were seen as mere items of pleasure and pawns, Catherine was promised to a man almost twice her age in the hopes off attaining land for her family. She was to marry him when she was 14, but when she was 12 her family lost every property within their possession for her mother being a 'heretic' and her father a traitor to the throne of England. Cast into the life of servitude within the King's home, she not only worked for him but shared her bed many of nights with the man. There was no hope in the woman ever attaining a shred of dignity since her family fell into the wrath of the King. At 19 when he grew tired of her, he charged her with heresy and sentenced her to die by beheading. It was on her execution day that she claimed her love to only one man; God and never to a King--seconds to her beheading. For three hundred years Catherine served God, doing his biding until she fell in love with another. When her focuses turned away from God to her companion's she was cast out of Heaven for neglecting her duties (which she had). She still has the power of healing ,like any Angel and kept her wings, which makes her believe that some day God will let her back into his fold. She is seen as quiet, watchful and faithful to a cause and even though she remains in the fold of Adora's-she is hopeful that she can change the woman's mind in an attempt to repent Catherine's own sins against God.




Nowak, Milena Zoja
Eighty-five • Lackey of Nicolae • Scarlett Johanssen[/b]

Born in 1925, in Warsaw Poland; Milena was the eldest of four children. Her father was a physician and her Mother would assist him often on his calls. They were a well off and respected family—until the Nazi’s forces would occupy Poland and break apart the Nowak family forever. Milena watched helplessly as her father’s right to practice medicine was taken away because of his beliefs and was horrified as many of her friends and loved ones were taken away in large vehicles to far-off places never to be heard from again. In July of 1942 it would be Milena’s time to be shoved into one of those trucks by one of those men who bore the insignia of General Adolph Hitler. The seventeen year old knew she would never see her family again even before she got to the gates of hell better known as Treblinka. Only 62 Miles northeast of Warsaw, Milena was forced into a world she didn’t know. Shaved of her hair and stripped of her dignity, as she was forced to labor as a man twice her size. August 2, 1943, Milena would try to make her getaway with the small group of laborers who would rebel. She is shot and killed with many others, finding her way to the gates of Heaven. She served God for just over 50 years until she tossed herself out by refusing an order and staying on Earth longer than she should have. It is believed that since she loved humans so much, she was punished by being allowed to watch the things she loves live and die. Given this cruel punishment, Milena rebelled here on earth as well, finding herself in the company of Nicolae and his companion. She is angry about her punishment, which fuels the work that Nicolae and Adora do here on Earth. She is passionate and full of energy to the cause and holds the power of teleportation.

CHRISTOFF, Willhelm Amedeus
Age Unknown; Appears in his 40's • Mayor • Gabriel Byrne
Claimed By:

[/b] Becca!

Once an Angel, the man's tongue dripped poisonous ideas to Lucifer at the time of the uprising against God himself. Some Demons suggest that he is Lucifer's right hand man; Amedeus never admitting or denying such a claim. Once Lucifer lost the battle, it didn't take long for the man to be stripped his wings, abilities as an angel and get tossed into the fiery pits of Hell. He tells little about his life as an Angel or early years as a Demon, but has on the rare occasion slipped his tongue to those trusted within the ranks of Ladysmith. Amedeus has only been the Mayor of Ladysmith for just under a decade. Since then, crime rates have soared, his promises have fell empty and the man can't stay out of the eyes of the media, police of public. He loves to be in the media (as long as it favors him), quiet, but when he speaks there is an air of authority to it. He's not seen as being bossy, just used to getting his way. Amedeus's Demonic power is Manipulation.


LARRIS, Justis
Age Unknown; Appears in his late 30's • Club Bouncer • Tyson Beckford

There are very few words to describe Justus, except that he serves his justice in the form of fists. Justus played a major military tactic role in trying to conquer God when Lucifer battled with him. He's only recently escaped the depths of Hell, claiming boredom.
He is known for keeping the 'peace' in the club and prying eyes from revealing what is really going on inside of it. He seems to be obedient to Felix, but in private he finds Felix to be an idiot. He is at the club most nights, placed at the front of it and unless you are on the list-you are not getting in. He has a high work ethic and takes his job very seriously, but when the night is done he takes a bottle of booze for his own private uses. He figures it's the least Felix and his companion owe him. Justis's Demonic power is Brute Strength and he's quick to use it.

FACE CLAIM YOUR CHOICE!

ESTES, Felix
Six Hundred And Seventy-Two • Club Owner• YOUR CHOICE!

Felix has roamed the earth for almost 7 centuries, damaging everything he touches through the power of manipulation and desire. It is rumored he is the most promising Demon Lucifer had seen in the longest time, which is why he allows him free reign. Felix is the brains behind the city's most popular nightclub, even though he is younger than Justus. He's manipulative, coy and focused, which makes him the perfect socialite. His club's reputation (good and bad) grew over the last five years due to the lax rules on underage drinking and has even been shut down a few times due to brawls. Somehow he manages to keep his license and club open even after investigations, rumors speculating that he has connections in city politics. Most Demons know it is because of his power of Manipulation.




ESTES, Rosalina
Two Hundred and Thirty • Companion of Felix/Socialite • Angelina Jolie

She has traveled with Felix for over two hundred years, helping him destroy hundreds of people's lives. Rosalina caught his eyes in France when she was 'acting' in a Burlesque house. She had only been walking the earth as a demon for three years prior to that, having been killed in a lover's rage that she initiated. Rosalina is never seen far from her husband's side in or out of the club. Even though she is far younger than Felix she is his backbone and whispers sweet, yet cancerous ideas on his business and their lives. She has been known to be best friends with someone one week and then enemies the following. She is the perfect socialite; fake, attention seeking and a bitch, but no one can stay away from her because of her power of Seduction.

[as threading as Michael]

Usually the school closed its doors at 5 pm.

Michael Whitecroft had convinced the school administration that holding AP night courses would benefit the students. Though the school was reluctant to acquiesce his request, they had been persuaded by his credentials from the two universities that he earned his degrees in. It also happened that he was able to falsify records in case they decided to do a background check on him. He must have been lucky since his transcripts came through the next morning when the Dean of the school questioned him about it. He was hired that afternoon to teach two AP courses in Economics and Business Administration for those willing to take his class.

Michael was not a teacher though. He used to be a Professor at Duke University until the scandal with the lacrosse team happened. In that case, he had turned in his resignation but still received his full tenure. Three years he had faithfully worked for them and because he would not age, there was not point in sticking around when suspicions would start to arise. Ladysmith was perfect to make a fresh start until he found out why Alexandra had called him from here. The night he arrived, he searched all over town for her but came up with negative results in locating her.

As Michael placed down his books at the end of the desk, he cleaned out his leather brief case before pulling out his glasses. He had perfect eyesight but the students would never take him seriously if he didn’t show some kind of professional image. Though his lack of wearing casual suits also said he wasn’t a full-fledged teacher. Michael had donned a black T-shirt, worn in jeans and a pair of his Nike running shoes. Turning around after he placed his glasses on, Michael picked up a piece of chalk and wrote on the board.

Professor Whitecroft
AP Economics

Clapping his hands together, he dusted off the extra powder that had been placed on him. At this point, he was still about fifteen minutes early until the class actually opened its doors to everyone. This would be his trial course, if enough people were interested, he would have a part time job so that the police would stay out of his business. It seemed that they didn’t like strangers in their town but having a job would keep them at bay. He couldn’t very well be working at the local Walmart where he could have been working at a college. Sitting down behind the desk, Michael flipped open his book and started reviewing the material he would be teaching this evening.

(ooc: This post is from another site in which I play the character Haunt.  Haunt belongs to me.)
Menacing clouds swirled above her head as Haunt made her way to the docks.  Surely a storm was coming.  Oh crap.  It was then Haunt remembered her jacket, lying uselessly in her room.  How very traitorous of my jacket, she thought fiercely, coming into view of the warehouse and the water.  Her mood was sour as she approached the creaking complex that imprisoned the Union's ships.  But, alas, there was nothing to be done about the forgotten jacket.  Haunt resigned herself to getting soaked, finding the idea exciting in an exotic way.  She had never been out in the rain before, storms had scared her when she was young, and she didn't get out much anymore.

Her off-balance footsteps brought her to the dock, the sharp, warm smell of the sea flying at her with every spray of salty water.  Wind flew by her, soaring up into gusts and collecting in preparation for the storm.  Haunt watched, amazed, as the clouds moved in, their quickness frightening her a bit.  Such power...well, it took her breath away.  The daunting overhead armada drove Haunt to seek out shelter.  Somewhere, anywhere to safely watch the storm.  How could she have thought one moment of staying out in this monstrous tempest?  She was crazy, she had to be.  But at least she had her head on straight now.  

As the sky grew darker still, Haunt moved frantically across the rocky shore to the warehouse.  It was the only nearby shelter, and she prayed to God (Please almighty God...) that she would be in a safe place before the heavens ruptured and spilled down their wrath upon her.  Shadows ate up the ground, waves clawed at the shore, and clouds, heavy with rain, raced across the sky.  How frightening such an innocent day had turned so quickly.  Haunt practically ran straight into the wall of the warehouse, catching herself with clumsy hands as she collided with the building.  

What if...What if the doors were locked?  Oh, it was too much to think of.  How much time did she have left? Not much at all, that was sure, and every second she spent thinking about her probable, no, [i]impending[/i] doom didn't help her reach safety. Her heart beat wildly in her chest as she stumbled to the warehouse door.  She yanked it hard, expecting it to be heavy, and what’s more, locked.  Instead it flew open readily, and Haunt nearly collapsed inside, huffing and puffing to catch her ever illusive breath.

[quote][b]Roleplaying Sample:[/b]
[quote]Ever since she could remember, Bella had been on stage. She had constantly been performing throughout her life since she was a child. In kindergarten, she could remember being asked "what do you want to be when you grow up?" All the kids had said a parent, or a teacher, or other common thing that held no interest to the ambitious five year old. Bella had put down "actress" and been laughed at by quite a few people. Oh how wrong those people saw they were! She had wowed crowds from the time she had to make a class president speech, nailing every word of it with grace and excellence. As she grew older, Bella's dream trailed after her in everything she did. Instead of weekend sleep overs in middle school, you'd find her spending the late hours of the night with her father in his study, working on perfecting lines for the community theatre she was always included in. The older members of the theatre saw her talent and encouraged her dream, offering to help her rehearse whenever neccessary. She took the help on occasion, but it wasn't her nature to accept the assistance of others. Soon enough, those people learned that and they let their promising little dove spread her wings for herself. When she moved to London, all of her comfort bubble was left back home in Milwaukee. The people she could look up to, her supportive friends, the "fans" who were always asking for her help with public speaking. None of it was able to be transferred over the huge pond with her.

Being healthy was something Bella tried her damned hardest to be. She tried to make sure she got enough of sleep, ate enough food, drank enough water, took her vitamins. It had been very hard for her, though. Kari, her older sister, was out of the house almost as much as Bella was, so she wasn't there to help look after her ninety percent of the time. True, that was always the one shoulder Bella could count on whenever she was in serious trouble, but she knew her sister wasn't there to be her mother. Bella needed her health to keep up her acting, but she couldn't spare the extra minutes most mornings to cook herself breakfast or dig the pills out of the shared medicine cabinet. She often woke up late, or was just an un-organized mess in the morning, so there was little time left over after her shower and morning rehearsals.

When the soft pound of a door opening pierced through the notes trickling from the piano, Bella didn't miss a beat. She didn't really give a crap if anyone heard her. Her voice didn't sound like a dying cat, actually it was very far from that, so she knew people wouldn't complain too much. Sure, her singing constantly could get a little annoying after awhile, but that was much better to be told than "your voice sucks" wasn't it?

She kept her eyes on her music score, focusing on continuing to let her hands dance across the keys. This was, in fact, a bit of a duet and there were harmony parts in it, but Bella didn't really care. She had a harder time singing with someone when there were harmonies than she did singing by herself of with someone who had their own words instead of the same as her. When she did sing with someone, though, she made sure to lay off the power her voice held. Often enough she'd get scolded for subtly competeing with the other singer for the loudest voice. Hers was naturally loud, she couldn't help that at all unless she forced herself to. But, when a voice did join her own, she couldn't help but blink in surprise. Her voice nor her playing never faultered, but her mind did blank for a quick second. She turned her head slightly to see whose voice was joining her own, recognizing it as the one that was supposed to be singing with her. A smile lit her face as she nodded to the girl who had joined her. This girl was a freshman, meaning she was one year below Miss Curtis, and that sometimes made Bella feel a bit better about singing with her. Bella had more expierence in the college performances, so it made sense.

Her fingers continued their playing and her voice rang with the words, closing off the song in her perfect high D. It was a tricky note to hit for most, but Bella could do it easily as long as she was warmed up. Her hands stopped on the keys and she spun on the stool to observe her partner. [b][color=f4d300]"Nice job,"[/color][/b] she commented, standing up from her seat. [/quote]
