~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.

Noktori then transformed into her human self and struggled to stand up but stood up. "calm down I'm not going to hurt you ". Noki then looked down and waited for his response.

Core saw a werewolf run down the road and hit a man standing there. He wasn't normal though and both of her hands tightened around the handles of her sias as she put them in her belt. She stood up and walked near them, looking away though. <br /> <br /> Valcon wasn't moved by the impact. He narrowed his eyes "Another wolf?" he questioned. "Oh no, you're a werewolf." he said with a sneer crossing his face

Noki then sighed and laid down and put her head on her paws. Then she got bored and walked down the forest then came out. While she was walking she heard a noise behind her and ran away and crashed into valcon the backed up "I'm sorry" she said.

Core was thinking to herself as she usually did. She pulled out a small notebook from her bag. It had only been read or written in a few times but it gave her comfort that it was there. The front had a few streaks torn off, along with some of the pages. This was because of her sias that also rested in her bag. <br /> <br /> Valcon heard something running and walked in the direction of it. He saw a wolf which was not strange for this town. "What are you running from?" he questioned in a low voice

Aelia shook her head and backed up, snarling still. She turned and ran off into a dark alley, her bristled tail streaming behind her.

Core grabbed her bag. The tension on the bar was putting her on edge. She walked to the door and out onto the street before throwing it back onto her back. The stone streets under her feet made faint thunking noises as she walked, and she looked around a little. She didn't feel well after the last full moon, not many usually did but none the less it was more freedom then. Large expenses of her memory during her monthly change were just vacant black holes. Core let out a little sigh before turning her back to the building she was at and sitting down. <br /> <br /> Reaching the end of a dark road, Valcon looked at the old, lifeless street lamps that had once light this end of town like a christmas tree. Rarely a person or two, usually teenagers on a dare from their peers, would walk down here. They never learned that this end of town was not a place for humans to be coming unannounced.

Aelia growled at the werewolf and bared her teeth warningly, her sable fur standing on edge. She was no larger than a simple wolf, and here she was faced with a huge werewolf.

Aelia tapped two fingers on the brick of the roof, scratching behind her ear. She stood up and jogged down to another edge, and saw an easy way down. She leaped down, landing in a slight crouch with two fingers at the ground. She laid her other palm flat against the asphalt and bared her teeth. She could feel it coming on, the fur poking through her skin and her ears getting larger. Her mouth grew longer and a tail sprouted. Her hands grew into paws and the fur pushed through her skin. <br /> Anyone who had just seen her would think her no more than an odd-looking wolf. She shook off her fur and jogged over towards the tree, peering up at the person sitting up there.

Core heard the noise, the sound of the door in front of her and her head snapped up to it. An elderly looking man walked through it and she thought to herself how strange this was. Standing, she grabbed her drawstring bag with her left hand and put it onto her shoulder and approached the bar. The old man sat there, seeming not to notice her and she sat a few stools down from him, hand still on her bag and her whole body tensing. She was well built, especially for being a girl as some put it.<br /> <br /> Valcon let one of his hands slip into the icy darkness. It felt no different to him. No warmer, and no colder but just nothing. He grinned a little and stood walking slowly back to the street. A woman that had clearly not made it to her house before it had gotten dark looked frighteningly up at him. He chuckled to himself as she about ran down the street.<br /> <br />

Aelia hopped down from the roof and scratched the back of her head, rubbing her hands together and jogging through the streets. She passed a tree and glanced at the girl who sat, perched, atop a branch. She broke into a run and turned a corner, heading into a dark alley. She jumped atop a dumpster and jumped, her bony fingers curling around a window sill. She pulled herself up and jumped off of the windowsill, onto the building adjacent to it. She grabbed a small ledge in the bricks and hoisted herself up onto the roof. She stood up and brushed her jeans off, patting her hands at her hips and walking to the corner of the building, before sitting cross legged on the ledge.

Aelia sat, perched atop some random civilian's roof and rubbed her fingers together, yawning. She crossed her legs and looked up to the sky, watching as the sun set. She shivered and lowered her head back to the town, her bright blue eyes scanning over every surface. She was looking, but for what, she did not know.

(Okay! Everyone that has entered so far has checked in and it is time to start(: I will set the scene and begin)<br /> <br /> It was getting dark outside and many of Grey Shadows towns people had started to return to their homes. It was the beginning of a new month, yet many still feared the dangers that were heard of through the streets. Only a few people still walked the streets, or took refuge in the near by bars or motel rooms. <br /> <br /> Core sat inside of a pub, half paying attention to the news that was crackling over the television. She didn't have anything to drink, but was just sitting alone at a table near the back. She faced the door though as always, constantly waiting for something.<br /> <br /> Valcon sat in a park on the edge of a lake. It was the biggest one in the state and being in Grey Shadows, it had a bad reputation. The surface was icy and black but he wasn't paying attention to it.<br /> <br />
