~Grey Shadows~
Started By
Hello fellows RPers(: So I was looking through the forums and I noticed that most RPs are wolf or warrior cats. I feel that there is a loss of humanistic RPs lately. So I decided to make one! Please read and enjoy. I will put an overview at the bottom for everyone but please read the longer version before you join! I will also put some rules, the skelly for your character and my limitations with them. Most important, enjoy! And I may be posting later to update, such as new characters that have joined. The start date for this RP I will set as July 20th possibly sooner, but you may enter applications before then.
The Story
Grey Shadows was an immensely social place a few years ago. In today’s time though most people would refer to it more as a dark dingy town where people from all over the world come to stay. Towns’ people who have lived in Grey Shadows their entire lives are beginning to question their choice to stay. Strange things are beginning to accompany many of the towns’ new residents. Some may even refer to these residents as wanderers who have nowhere else to go. These towns’ people have no idea what they are getting into though.
Some inhabitants of this town are very familiar with one another though. They even may have met at an old school or two secretly hidden throughout the world at some point. They don't talk much about their past but most normal people wouldn't wait around for them to.
Have you ever heard of Others? There has been a whisper through the old broken town. No normal person likes to speak of them. They are said to be shape shifters, changing their appearance into a dark animal in the night. Others are said to suck blood from human victims or even turn into an evil wolf-like creatures at every full moon.
In a place like Grey Shadows though, ideas such as these are frowned upon and never to be spoken about. In a dark stone walled bar, halfway through the town from the old castle, the Others relax waiting for the next attack, the next play. Some may even been fighting their own battle. Even walking the streets of normal neighborhoods, but none of this is normal especially from the people that live there. These Others are looked down upon and though some have suspicions, nothing has been proven to this day. No one is really safe or can tell how they will leave this town for good.
Overview
You will become a supernatural character living in an old fashioned style neighborhood and you may have a bad or good past, whichever you prefer. Your character will be living his/her life though this town and all the troubles that comes along with it. The two types of people that live in Grey Shadows are normal people who refuse to believe that supernatural beings exist and “Others” who are the supernaturals.

Core walked back into town. She really didn't want to go back to her old apartment. She shrugged off the feeling and walked back into the darker part of town. It's where many supernaturals lived, though most humans denied it. <br /> <br /> Valcon sat watching the few minor people walking about below him. He smiled to himself, knowing that most of them had lived here a long time, even when Grey Shadows was a completely different place.

She watched the girl walk away and stood, slipping into a small forest and following a tiny shortcut home. <br /> <br /> She arrived at home and pushed through the dog door her friend had installed as a joke about a year ago. She chuckled and trotted into her room, slowly turning back into a human as she did so.

Core nodded and started walking back to town. Her black hair almost reached her hips, and it blew in the wind. As she got back to the street, she went to the pub. There were now even fewer people than had been there before. <br /> <br /> Valcon went upstairs to his room and searched through a drawer in the nightstand. After doing that, he went to the window. Opening it, he stepped out onto the ledge and sat down

She shrugged and glanced at the girl before laying down on the grass and looking around.<br /> "No reason. I heard rumors about all of the supernatural stuff going on here. Plus its easy to roof jump these buildings. Plenty of handgrabs." She said.

Core kept her position, "Werewolf." Her eyes were almost completely hidden by her side swiping bangs. "Why would you want to come to Grey Shadows?" she asked.<br /> <br /> Valcon walked through the rows and rows of houses that almost looked uninhabited. He ran his fingers along one of them before getting to the door and opening it. It was dark still, just like the rest of this end of town, light by only a few lanterns hung in the corners of the room. An old man sat at the front desk. Valcon walked past the clerk and up the stairs

The wolf nodded and stood, slowly walking closer to the person who'd confronted her.<br /> "Aelia. Yeah, I'm a shapeshifter. What are you?" She asked, staring the person down.<br /> "New-ish, you could say that." She growled softly.

"Core" she answered "You're a shapeshifter." It was more of a statement than a question. "Are you new here?" Her posture was still as she looked at this wolf before her.

Aelia swung around in surprise and paused, lowering her head and staring at the person. She sat and looked at the girl, tilting her head.<br /> <br /> "I am Aelia. Who are you?"

Valcon still sneered as he turned to stare back down at the darkened streets. He walked forwards into the darkness and disappeared. The ghostly sounds of the streets dissolved his heavy footsteps.<br /> <br /> Core saw the wolf move faster and followed. It was easy for her to keep up since she soon slowed, as Core didn't want to run. She got closer and spoke "Who are you?" Her footsteps stopped as she did.

"Werewolves and vampires are well known for there disagreements, as I am not scared of you." Valcon said. His voice was cool as he said this. "I would like to ask you to get out of my face though, before we also have a disagreement." Valcon said still standing his ground<br /> <br /> Core was taken-a-back by how this werewolf just changed where anyone could see it. She turned now, deciding to direct her attention to the other wolf that she had seen run. Though it was against her better judgement, she contemplated going back to the pub<br />

Aelia slowed her running pace as she passed a man in the alley. She briefly looked at him before loping off towards the park. <br /> <br /> Once she arrived at the park she trotted through the shadows, her tail swinging as she walked forward.
