And By Night, They Walked v.2

I didn't think it was Phoenix. Just couldn't remember if we actually chose a city where she struck. Does add some tension to working together if it is remembered.

Fate, concerning the underground cities.

If Primal United truly did plan to take over from the start, it would be possible they had set up a system to use when they planned to make their move. You said these cities are connected by trains, well perhaps this system they set up puts up gates preventing access to the train stations. Also, the way they could prevent movement from one city to the other would be to shut down the magnet systems. This would prevent using the trains, as well as the elevators, without damaging the city itself.

Not being able to get past the gates into the train tunnels would make movement from city to city impossible, and the lack of power to the elevators would prevent them from going to the surface.

With all this new information, I think it would be wise for us to have the RP take place in Phoenix once more. Our characters would be hiding right under the noses of their enemies, all the while gathering information to plan their attack. The first step would be to shut down the system used to contain the vamps and lycans, allowing them to surface once more and help out in the final strike.

Also, unless you guys have any objections, the following people along with all their characters will be welcomed into the RP.

Digital Muse
Lyonesse
Quakernuts

With that our RP is now full, and we will not be accepting any more applicants at this time. We should also start working to get the OOC set up so we can get the RP underway.

That sounds like a brilliant idea, Lucian. I think that makes perfect sense if Primal was indeed intending to double cross the lycans and werewolves from the start.

Perfect! Sounds great to me.

I like that idea, too!

Welcome to the game, you three!


So, now that we've got all of the players and a kind of basic idea for the game, should we make an OoC for it where everyone can post their in-depth character sheets and such?

Thanks for the welcome. I'm really looking forward to this and can't wait to start.

Hmm, is there anything else that anybody wants to discuss before I put the official OOC up?

I'm good.

I get a Word of the Day from m-w.com in my email, and today's word is:

Spoiler:

werewolf \WAIR-woolf\

DEFINITION
noun
: a person transformed into a wolf or capable of assuming a wolf's form

EXAMPLES
She is particularly interested in folklore about vampires and werewolves.

"American paranormal fans will soon have a new werewolf, vampire and ghost in their lives as SyFy preps for the U.S. installment of Being Human, as seen on BBC America." -- From an article by MacKenzie Wilson posted November 4, 2010 at www.bbcamerica.com.

[b]DID YOU KNOW?[b]
Though some doubts about the word’s etymology still remain, "werewolf" probably comes from a prehistoric West Germanic compound whose constituent parts gave Old English "wer" ("man") and "wulf" ("wolf"). The word is related to Middle Dutch "weerwulf" and Old High German "werwolf." Another word for "werewolf" is "lycanthrope," which traces back through Latin to a Greek combination of "lyk-" (from "lykos," meaning "wolf") and "anthropos" (meaning "man"). English also sometimes makes use of the French-derived word "loup-garou," from Old French "leu" ("wolf") and "garoul" or "garulf" (a word of Germanic origin meaning "werewolf").

Yeah... It doesn't really have anything to do with the game, but with the OoC about to go up, I decided to share this little coincidence. =3

That was a nice coincidence to recieve that word of the day. It's interesting that they can also be referred to as loup-garou. (That makes me think if Garurumon from Digimon, who was also a wolf and a werewolf.)

Yeah, I've seen the term before, in a book series called the Dresden Files. They actually differentiated werewolves into four types. One could shapeshift at will, one used items to do so, one was actually a wolf who shapeshifted human (I believe), and the last was the well known cursed to become a werewolf every full moon and reak havoc. The last was referred to as loup-garou. I smiled seeing that term used elsewhere.

Notably, the loup-garou was also by far the strongest.

Fate, I never really watched more than a couple episodes of that show when I was little, so I really don't remember it much at all. XD

I thought the "loup-garou" term was interesting, too.

Xi, You're right about the wolf transforming into human. I remember that from the books, too.

Alright, well it looks like everything is set up. I'll post the OOC shortly.

Yay!

The OOC is up but I accidentally posted it in the Casual OOC discussion. I asked Fate to move it so I'm sure it'll be in the proper place shortly. So, go ahead and post your detailed character sheets whenever you're ready.

Is there an official form we need to fill out for character sheets?

Not of which I'm aware, you may want to look at some of the sheets from the old OoC thread to get an idea of the kind of information you should be adding. All the sheets are linked in that first post, but you'll want to remember that this is a decade later, soooo yeah. =3

Awesome, thank you.

Wow, Lucian's old profile sucks. I'm going to be re-doing it, but it won't change the overall character, just some history details.

Yeah. Lillith's isn't all that great, either, but I'll be redoing it some time soon.
