The Wolverine
A Cacophony Of Noise
The secret realm of the supernatural...
This story is set in the world as we know it; Earth, third planet. But beneath it's normal, everyday working, there are those that hide in the shadows, hide their true identities, and practice their crafts out of sight of the humans.
'Cacophony Of Noise' is a bar, protected by strong magiks, and hardened beasts on the doors, to stop stray humans entering in to where it is dangerous to be. There are nights when they come in anyway; you've got to give the illusion it's a normal bar, after all, but within these walls, those of a supernatural bearing are given the free reign to be themselves; to practice their crafts, talk of their hunts, make friends and comrades in arms.
There is one unending rule, however.
NEVER BRING THE ATTENTION OF MAN TO THIS DOOR WITHOUT FAIR REASON.
The supernaturals that come to this bar are doing so to escape the hustle and bustle of human drudgery. They come be free of their second lives, if only for a night.
I am not one for character sheets, so please do jump in, and describe your character as you write.
I don't mind what character type you portray, but please no angels or demons; feel free to portray supernaturals of any folklore, but angels and demons are not permitted in this world; they are not concerned with the games of humans and their weird mutated brothers and sisters. Also; no hybrids. You may also play a human if you wish, but do not expect to get a welcome in 'Cacophony'.
My main reason for not allowing angels and demons as I don't really want this RP to spiral away from a sort of supernatural "slice of life" style RP and turn into a heaven-hell feud. As for the no hybrid rule, this is geared more towards no half humans, as this RP world has humans believing these supernaturals don't exist and thus would probably go mad if they were to experience the truth.
List Of Accepted Species
Be aware, if they can't pass for human outside the club, or aren't able to hide their differences from the humans outside, they will likely be individuals that make use of Glamour Magiks (spells that for a time will make them look human) or will stay at The Hostel.

I am also happy to consider anything people want to create. Just mention it in ((OOC notes before your post)) so I know it's your own creation!
There are a number of NPCs I've created for now, HOWEVER, if you'd rather be the character/have a character you'd like to be in that role instead, please just make an ((OOC)) comment on your post to say as such. The following NPCs can be used to interact with in your posts:
Ira Stanton
Bar Manager
Ira is a vampire, and appears to be in her mid-thirties. She was a bar manager before her untimely death and resurrection as a vampire, and figured why change! It was hard to come to terms with initially, but when she realised her bar could be a safe haven, she suddenly started to accept her new role in life. Her appearance is not that of your typical "glamorous" vampire, but rather, she is just your average woman; a little curvier than she'd probably like, long, straight brown hair she had always wished would get some bounce, a heart shaped face, grey eyes, full lips, and pale skin.
Adrian Long
Doorman
Adrian, also known by Ade, is a werewolf. He is large, imposing, and demands respect, even from other supernaturals. He is always dressed sharply, and keeps his golden eyes hidden behind small sunglasses when working. His skin is like mocha, his black curled hair is tied up in a man-bun. His chest and shoulders fill the single doorway to the bar, so without his say so, you're unlikely to get in; the stereotypical bar doorman, really! Born a werewolf, when Ira changed the purpose of her bar, as one of the members of an influential Werewolf clans, he decided he should do his part.
Martha McAdams
Hostel Manager
When she came to the city, Martha was already an elderly hag. Plump, short, and dimpled, she is the very epitome of caring granny. Her Scottish accent is loving and welcoming, but she runs her Hostel with an iron fist to ensure it runs with precision and secrecy. She cares for each individual that comes through her door, and doesn't much care for the rawkus nature of the bar above. She is a witch, specifically a Fen Hag, and her magiks lie in the natural. She uses herbs, crystals and spell incantations to practice her craft, and is an amazing healer. She doesn't help for free though, so you'd best have what she desires, or be prepared to go get it when she requests it.
DJ Bloodsucka - Darren Vogel
House DJ
The in-house DJ, whom also lives constantly below in the Hostel, since moving to the city from the continent. A typical flirt and rawkus kid; he is a young vampire that somehow, despite his lack of secrecy, has yet to be discovered for his true identity! He is pale olive of skin tone, his dark brown eyes are almost black, his fangs are always on show over his thin lip, and his gothic, cyber-punk style seems to make him just seem like some sort of scene kid. His hair is long and black, often tied loosely with a ribbon. His DJing persona is that of a cyberpunk vampire, and yet humans that see him just think it's all an act; hiding in plain sight!
The set up of 'Cacophony' is thus:
> Main "Dance Room" bar: This is a party room, with the long bar able to serve many when bands and singers, or the house DJ, are on the stage. This is also where a lot of liaison happens with the patrons. Sometimes humans are given the ability to come and enjoy live acts, to keep suspicion off of the bar.
> The "Alcove": This is a quiet, VIP area. It still has the music from the dance room piped in, but quieter. Strictly no humans in this area!
> The "Balcony": A VIP, overhead balcony that is loud, like the "Dance Room". Like the Alcove, this is strictly supernaturals only.
> The "Hostel": Sometimes supernaturals seek safety in 'Cacophony', and need somewhere to lay low, or perhaps are new to the city. The Hostel is situated below the bar, and is simply a long, communal sleeping space, with a number of bathrooms with showers and space for dressing and getting ready. Again, strictly supernatural only.
A few rules, just for simple housekeeping sake:
> No power playing or invincible characters; they're supernatural, but not unkillable. Not that ANYONE should be killing anyone in this RP!
> Please don't purposefully make a human character enter. If you want to, please speak with me first.
> No using/controlling other characters other than the NPCs, unless you have permission; if you do, make note of it in ((OOC notes)) before your post.
> Be as descriptive as possible! Detailed, longer posts make everyone able to answer easily. Short posts will make your character difficult to interact with. Try and match the post length and description level of your writing partner.
> If you're posting to someone specific, please @tag them in an ((OOC note)). This will help people identify if your character if free for interaction. If you aren't directing at anyone specifically, don't @tag anyone and just post!
> This is set in modern London, where there are laws against guns and blades; if your character is going to have them, please make sure you go to some serious effort to secrete them, and also; reasons! Why does your character have them?
> Make your character relatable, but unique; not everyone is going to be a torture victim, a brooding vampire, a rabid werewolf. Try to be unique, but average and normal is awesome too! Be that office working werewolf lass as dowdy as the rest whom comes to the bar to let loose after work! She's just as interesting as the vampire kid that was abused and now hates everyone!
