CELESTE MARTIN
just as fucked up as they say

✕ world info
Urban fantasy OC, vampire.
Celeste lives in a world where the world is full of creatures like her, vampires, werewolves, demons, ghosts - they're all there, living right beneath human noses and feeding on people's sometimes almost willful blindness and ignorance. Besides the obvious eating/possessing/haunting/hunting problem, it's a relative peaceful coexistence exercise and most of these night creatures are okay with just making a living from day to day. Celeste tries. Before she was turned, she was a ballerina for the Ballets Russes (yeah, she's that old, no, she doesn't look it) and she's maintained her passion for dance into her vamp existence, having danced with various companies over the past century, often as a big name star under different names. What makes ballet a difficult discipline for most is easy for her with her enhanced strength, speed and healing and she can really make the most difficult moves look completely effortless. Since daylight is a problem for her, she's gained a rep as somewhat of a diva in the ballet world, someone who only wants to train and rehearse at specific times and skips everything else, but mostly it's for convenience. While sunlight doesn't kill her, it zaps her of her strength until she's only got what equals normal human strength left, as well as human healing and mortality, so although she can dance like that, she can't at all perform on the same level, plus it's dangerous for her at length.
Currently, she's working freelance, dancing for various companies around the world and getting followed closely/stalked by her Sire, the cultural patron, Etelka Ferenczy, who has never given up her infatuation with her, even after Celeste grew resentful towards her over everything she felt she'd lost, becoming a vampire. Celeste is continuously feeling bitter about her existence, about having lost her life and her heartbeat, normal human traits like compassion. She wanders the world aimlessly, without purpose, killing when she needs to eat, dancing when she doesn't, only rarely having been known under her real name to anyone.

✕ looking for
  • Open to shipping. While Celeste is bisexual, it's with a female pref and she will function best with girls, but if you don't mind some bloody, weird stuff with your guy, feel free to hit me up with them as well.
  • F.R.I.E.N.D.S, just - people who can make her feel like existence isn't so pointless.
  • Other vampires. A solitary creature for the most part, Celeste needs to realise that not everyone is like her Sire and vamp existence is a many splendid thing.
  • Humans to ear or not to eat. Other creatures. I'm good with whatever ideas you might have.

SAMIR BOLUT
the sovereign's halberd

✕ world info
TL;DR - high-up lieutenant in a supervillain's hierarchy
Samir comes from a setting where 'Quintessence' is said to be the source of all superhuman abilities, but it is still poorly understood. While he himself doesn't really display anything out of the ordinary, he's a knack for the physical; a 'natural' weaponsmaster that can easily pick up different combat styles with seemingly no effort. He himself serves a man called Ori Heber, aka Sovereign, who rules a country with eyes on world domination. Ori is also something of a sadistic manman, but we're not here to talk about him. Or the fact he killed Samir's brother. Or that Samir's other brother is bent on stopping Sovereign by any means necessary. Etc.
While Samir is arguably 'good' at heart, he fully believes the world cannot stop Sovereign; as such, he seeks to mitigate the damage the man does, providing a rare voice of reason that otherwise fully supports the would-be conqueror. Not that he's always listened to, but he is, at least, trusted.
It goes without saying, though, that he's conflicted on the actions he's ordered to commit, forcing himself to justify them as 'necessary' above all else.

✕ looking for
  • Superhero canons and OCs! Supervillains too.
  • Meshing over with other genres!
  • He's bisexual and a switch for kink purposes, but subbing is a touchy issue for him; he'd need to have heavy CR with his top
  • anyway i just like toting him out so if you have any ideas hmu

Justin Martingale
The Unlucky Agent

✕ world info
A secret agent working for the Unseen Squad, an organization that aims for peace between Aberrants/Elites (people with special abilities) and "normal" people. Standing in their way are not only the same normal people they're trying to protect, but the opposing organization, the Slayer Brigade, who seeks to either subjugate or destroy the normal population. Justin's special abilities stem from being a dhampir. He has enhanced speed and strength, instant healing, non-aging, mind-reading and hypnosis (though the latter two abilities fail about 99% of the time, giving him a massive headache). He's about 300 years old, though he doesn't look a day older than twenty. He's studied martial arts for most of his long life, and carries a special parasol provided by the Unseen Squad, which not only shades him from the sun, but works as a shield capable of blocking bullets and other attacks.

Justin believes strongly in the Unseen Squad's cause, and he also has a personal vendetta against the Slayer Brigade for murdering his mother, and they want to kill him, too. Outside of that, he's a fun-loving guy who finds enjoyment in the same kinds of things that children enjoy (i.e. playgrounds and action figures). He likes video games to a small extent, but he'd rather be outdoors (despite his vulnerability to sunlight).

✕ looking for
  • Partners - Whether to take on a mission to stop a petty crime or a powerful being hell-bent on world destruction, or just someone to hang out with or spar with.
  • Enemies - Come on, you don't get to be a world-saving secret agent without making enemies.
  • Shipping (tentatively) - Justin's already got a girl that he's trying to win the heart of, so any romance with anyone else would be slow, if it ever comes.
  • Frenemies? Who knows?

Theodora 'Theo' Fletcher
Short in stature, shorter in temper

✕ world info
Prickly, grouchy, trouble-making; all words that have been used to describe Theo in the past. But, despite being rough around the edges and seemingly always ready to throw hands, Theo's really not all that unpleasant. She's stubborn and blunt and a bit surly, but she's got a heart of gold underneath the eye-rolls and harsh language, and has more protective mum energy than she'd like to admit.

A dog trainer by trade and a werewolf by nature, without a pack to speak of and having moved across the pond a decade ago, she's a long way from her home in London's East End.

Whether or not she came to America running from something remains to be seen, but if you ask she'll probably just tell you to fuck off and mind your business.


✕ looking for
  • Down for most kinds of CR for her honestly; she can work well with antagonistic, angsty, fluff, romance, whatever. The latter just might take a bit of warming up to on her part.
  • Wayward teenagers for her to begrudgingly look out for - bonus points for other werewolves!
  • Friends in general are always gonna be a good shout - once she' considers someone a friend she can be a laugh, so anyone else who enjoys a drink and getting into a bit of trouble would work especially well.
  • Potential love interest, that could be neat! She can be a bit flighty around the ideal of commitment, and she's in her late thirties, so guys who don't mind the former and are around her age would work best!

Hey there! I have this guy here who's a werewolf and works as a royal bodyguard. He's a fantasy oc, but I can play a modern AU version of him too, like maybe as a private bodyguard, security guard, etc. Just wondering if you wanted to throw two woofs together and see what happens. His bio is still a WIP, especially the modern AU part but if you wanted to get a feel for him, it's there.

First and foremost, GLORIOUS choice of PB /chefs kiss

Second, I love the sound of him/this CR, for sure! I'm happy to AU Theo anywhere in the world if his OU home is based off of somewhere in particular (if that would help things at all!)

Thanks! It's definitely a face I enjoy looking at, lol.

I tend to create fantasy worlds that have room for me adding stuff later, but it's vaguely medieval European since I'm familiar with the concept. Would you want to place her there? For context, in his world werewolf packs are usually loyal to a certain kingdom's ruling house and often work as bodyguards, soldiers, etc. It's not a hard and fast rule, though. Some prefer artistry, manual labor, even banditry.

I can definitely roll with that, sure! She doesn't have a pack to speak of, so I don't know if that'd effect anything?

[personal profile] unvocalized 2021-05-16 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Most are happiest being part of a pack but there are definitely outliers who leave a pack for various reasons both good and bad. If you want to say she's descended from people who left a pack, or left herself, then that works! It's a little more unusual, but not unheard of.

TESLA ROSE SPENCER
THE LIGHT & THE LAW

✕ world info
Tesla is a 35 year old FBI agent, born and raised in California. Her mother came to the U.S. from Israel to attend medical school. Her father was originally from Boston but ran away from home at 17 and ended up working on a ranch in California before becoming a police officer there. Tess has a brother who is ten years older than her, and they grew up on the ranch after their dad bought it shortly after she was born. Her mother left the family when she was 6, and so she grew up primarily in her father's care after Myriam returned to Israel. She had a hands-on responsibility to the livestock and her father took her on long fishing trips throughout her adolesence.

For many years, she took dance lessons after school, and considered pursuing dance as a profession for a while. Instead, she opted to study at Georgetown with the intention of being pre-law. Over the next several years she was married, pregnant, gave up a son for adoption, got divorced and finished her undergrad, followed by her Juris Doctor (also from Georgetown). After her two years in law enforcement, she attended Quantico and received her badge. She works in the BAU.

In recent years, she has embraced her Jewishness more (for a long time she was mainly irreligious to avoid any connection to her mother), but she is not a stickler for religion. The bustle of the city makes her miss the ranch a lot when she's lonely. She still fishes in her free time. She has a German Shepherd named Roxette and loves dogs of all breeds; she loves all other animals too.


✕ looking for
  • I have a couple ships in her journal that I want in particular but apart from that, we're open to just about anything/anyone. She is usually really easy to slip into fandom worlds because I can put her in FBI offices just about anywhere. I do like a build up with romance but am also always open to assumed CR in memes, it can lead to some great dynamics.
  • Ya girl needs friends of all kinds and coworkers are always loved and appreciated. Wanna have someone to just talk cases or talk shop with? Hit us up. We're here for it. Need a girl firend to cry about SO's to? She'll bring the wine.
  • I'm out of school for the summer and honestly I just wanna fall in love with RP again and have some fun dynamics to keep me on my toes until (ugh) I start the next semester up.
  • Tumblr is a hard place to have OC's and I've had her in some form or another since 2007 but it's been a while since I could really got lost in a ship or a stoy line, I want that again.

Medhi el Jaouhari
imbued human, touched by an angel

✕ world info
Medhi is the eldest son and erstwhile heir of a Moroccan agro-industrial empire and the family fortune, but he gave that life up for one of his own making. When his mother was pregnant with him, she was saved from mortal injury by a guardian angel, which resulted in her son being born imbued with special powers. He can compel people to tell the truth. It's possible that he has the capacity to do even more than that, but out of respect for other people, he is careful not to use his power without either permission or, potentially, a very good reason.

These days he is a cleric of the young religion that sees Heaven and Hell as two equally important halves of the same whole. He works as a spiritual counselor to those in need, and in the meantime enjoys the experiences of a free life outside the sphere of his father's influence.

✕ looking for
  • Voicetesting. He's up on tfln and smut picture prompts atm, but can meet you anywhere.
  • Other imbued humans - or, under AU circumstances, supernatural/magical/special creatures etc.
  • Possibly the angel who saved his mother if you want to get ambitious.
  • SUPER down for romance/shipping if the chemistry is good.
