Yes you can, as long as something has not been ironed, you can modify it, but you cannot "remove stuff" say in the case of the evil clown.. everyone thinks he is a vampire, so the pushes him out into the sun. but he don't burn, he grows a tail and leather wings and start to hiss. okay. but then you cannot later claim him to be a normal clown.
Oh, but couldn't you? If you decided for one reason or another that the reason said clown was believed to be a demon or vampire was due to a mass-hallucinagenic haze?

Sure.. If you can explain why its is NOT set in iron, of course. but you have to find a way that fits...
so the clown just don't change from one thing to another without an explanation (or at least an OOC explanation). the explanation don't have to be there visible to everyone. you just have to have thought it through┬┤before doing it... make sure it wont ruin the game that is....

Currently have to do all my posts from my phone, but I'll do my best to make sure to keep things interesting. So anywho, here we go!

Name: Dean Frey (for now)

Background: Well, there's quite a bit of that. In fact, he's got several to choose. Dean isn't immortal, but about as close as you can get to it. He's been on this planet for about two hundred years now, although he doesn't look it. He's lived a few very different lives, all with the same goal: immortality. So far he's had to make do with sacrifices and rituals to get another twenty or thirty years, but he hasn't found the secret to true immortality.

As far as looks go, he looks like your average, run-of-the-mill 20 something. He's changed styles over time, currently he wears his hair short, spiky and black. He stands at about 5' 10". Clothing style is modern. The only things off putting about him are his eyes. You see, the catch is that while your body won't age, your soul still will. And eyes, being windows to the soul, age along with it. His eyes are very dark and sunken in, like he hadn't slept in months. His eyes used to be a sharp green, but have since faded to a light gray color.

Personality-wise, he is very cautious around people. While he does think of himself as being superior to regular humans, he hasn't lived this long by making stupid mistakes. Some lesser minds may think that his methods are "evil", and so think that he must be stopped. He doesn't talk much, unless he deems it necessary. He is very cold and calculating, seeing regular humans almost like cattle, a lesser animal to be farmed for resources. In Dean's case, the resource is time. He tricks people into making a blood oath with him, giving him time from their own lifespan.

Important info: Physically, Dean is the same as everyone else, in that he can be killed by the conventional means. He is only immune to the aging process and sickness.

He has a certain dislike for vampires. He sees vampirism as a way of "cheating" to get immortality. No real hatred for them, though. He's done some research into vampire anatomy to try to see what makes them immortal, but didn't manage to break any new ground.

Dean knows a few spells and incantations, mostly just defensive measures required when dealing with supernatural things more powerful than oneself. Other than that, he isn't very magically adept.



Ok guys, there he is. Sorry if there isn't too much there, like I said I had to type this up on my phone, while at work so I could only work on it during breaks. Computers busted so all my updates have to be from my phone. Will have my first action posted ASAP, most likely by this time tomorrow at the latest. Good night guys, and I'll see you all in Seaheaven tomorrow! Also, lemme know if there's any relevant info I missed when typing this up. I was kinda rushed, so its likely.

So this is an alien...but not an alien...
I just liked the idea of a famous celebrity who is far more than people think she is.

Name: Ericka Ann "Kat" Lanston Crawfnord
Aka Erin Bishop
Aka Jasmine "Jas" James (Character from first TV show, most people call her Jas actually)
Aka Callie Crane (Character from second TV show)

Age: 35

Description: 5' 11"
Kat has a build that looks like she is a athelete, with short black hair over a square face with perfect dark blue eyes. Most men would call her a beauty. Although 35 she looks to be in her mid-twenties, when most people remember what she looked like from her movie career.
She has a scar above her right eye.
Typically she wears black glasses (unneeded)
Typical gear is a dark grey fadora, dark pants and blue shirts under a long double breasted coat. She typically carries a satchel with a computer and a long bejeweled dagger.
Eyes glow electric blue when angry, fighting...

Backstory:

You know Erin Bishop. She came into your living room once a week for seven years. From the age of twelve to the age of 19 you watched her play not one but two characters that you fell in love with. And most boys and men wanted to sleep with her when she was 19, even some of the gay ones. You watched five of her six movies. You bought her record. Even now if you go to your TV and flip through the channels she is on at least one channel.

Of course like most child stars, Erin Bishop seemed to slide into sex and drugs after that flop of hers, the sixth movie.

That sixth movie? She did act in it, but she was the only actor apparently in it, the rest were more wooden than a marrionette. It still turns up on the list of "Worst Movies Ever Made"...The Horror of horror movies...

What only one dead man knows is...Erin Bishop is dead, buried under her own pool in the hills above Hollywood.

So who is that woman, the woman that the tabloids report on occassionally, the reculuse...the one the world thinks is Erin Bishop?

That is Commander Ericka Ann "Kat" Lanston Crawfnord, Commonwelth Naval Intelligence. And if we were from her world, the one some pesky God's broken toy had pulled her from, we would balk at the last name. A name beleived to mark those who are decended from the God of Chaos herself, marked by blue eyes that glow under the right conditions.

And Kat is the eldest neice of William Crawfnord, Doge of the Commonwealth. The head of the family that rose to power by ending the civil war in the Commonwealth by force of arms. William raised both his two daughters and his neice while manipulating the Houses of the Commonwealth, rooting out government corruption and executing those that threatened the post war peace.

Kat grew up in a family that knew it held its place because of the strength of arms and strength of purpose. By the time she was ten she had learned to ride, fence, shoot, and speak five lanquages. She went to the Naval Academy of a friendly world power at age seventeen and studying both special forces operations and engineering. She was commissioned an officer in the Navy and then directed into the clandestine service of the CNI, going to one of the more prostegious universties of her world under a covert identity. She then spent another five years under deep cover, gaining intelligence on the people the Commonwealth thought were their enemies.

Then the "Society of the Chosen" invaded the Commonwealth from the north. Lead by the so called "Universal Prophet", the Chosen was a million man army of religious fanatics. They had awakened in the deep, dark forests of the north and had marched first east, then south. Fanatics who wanted the blood of the Chaos decended Crawfnords to impress their God. The Chosen attack across the northern border pushed the Commonwealth Army back to the Red Ridge Mountians where the Commonwealth Artillary was able to hold the passes against their massive assults. And the great cause of the Chosen became a war of attack and counter attack across the Leith Valley.

Kat returned to the Commonwealth and began to lead deep pentration operations against the Chosen. Kat was the second in command of the 3rd Special Operations Battallion, that specialized in attacking the supply depots and supply lines of the Chosen in the far north, the Chosen homelands.

On a mission three years ago, a group of "Priests of the Chosen" attempted to animate an ancient artifiact found sealed in the Dark Mountains. The Chosen believed that the artifact was the 'God Gate' which would allow them to bring their God into the world and directly attack the obstinante Commonwealth.

Kat led a strike team to find and destroy the 'God Gate' before whatever was on the otherside was released. Although her team took the Chosen's gate facility by surpise and secured it, the Gate was still activated. Kat attempted to destroy the Gate, but was flung into this world while doing so.
She found herself in a world completely diffrent than her own. In her world, few nations even pretended to be democracies; most lived under the control of Warlords, Dictators, Empires, and the Temples. In her world, there are few who value human life beyond their own. The killing of overly ambitious political rivals and disidents was seen as normal. In her world, politics usually involved less moving the masses, and more of manuving the powerful and killing those who opposed you. A world where the press was free usually only when the government was too focused on killing someone else that week.

Three years ago Kat awoke under the Hollywood Hills. Kat was found wandering on Hollywood and Vine completely disoriented by the police. They escorted "Miss Bishop" back to her home in Beverly Hills. There she found Miss Bishop's buisness manager finishing the pool. Of course, he was wondering how the body he had just buried under sixteen inches of concrete was standing before him. Later that night he attempted to get rid of Miss Bishop again. It proved to fatal for him, and brought even more noriety for the "former teen star" even though it was declared self defense.

Lost in a strange world, Kat has used her skills as a deep cover agent to take over the idenity (and bank accounts) of Miss Bishop.

Today, Kat currently is trying to find, assemble and activate the components for another 'God Gate', this one to send her back home.

Skills/Powers:
Kat is trained in standard military unarmed combat techniques as well as small weapons use. As a Crawfnord she has a weird immunity to direct magic attacks, essentially any magic spell used on her (exluding healing potions) will go chaotic and result in any number of unwanted effects. Kathrine of course has the same problem casting spells outside of her own body. Note that this does not affect indirect attacks using magic. She is also 'God Touched' and therefore can be recognized by, and recognize those 'touched' by the Gods.

Level 13 Spycraft
Level 12 Unarmed Combat
Level 12 Small Arms Combat
Level 10 Engineering
Level 14 Magic Defense - Kat is a Crawfnord, which means that direct magical spells against her turn Chaotic resulting in any number of intresting effects
Level 7 Magic Useage - Kat can cast magic spells, but outside of her own body, they tend to go Chaotic, just as if someone else were casting the spell.
Level 5 - World Knowledge Also Kat really does not understand this world. The physical geography is right, but the political states, names of places, and even some of the very Gods are completely foreign to her, even now. How the hell the lanquages have somehow held still puzzles her, though she thinks it is due to the influence of the Gods.
Level 11 - God Marked...Those who serve a God, or a demon, know something is odd with Kat/Erin, but so does Kat know about them serving masters from beyond the plane.

Quite an interesting cast we are gathering here. By the way, how exactly are we claiming these? Do we post our claims here or somewhere else?

You post in the Game thread "I claim XXXX" the you start making you GM response to that one :) When you are done you post it... make sure to mark it as "GM response to XXXX"
Currently there is Rosie and James that you can claim.
(others can off course claim Dean, but you cannot.. for obvious reasons :) )

I'll properly not claim anyone, My character is just there to make sure GM's have something to claim, and I'll keep to updating the time :)
