She listens and learns and quietly manipulates people and events. She bodes no ill will to anyone, save those who harm plant life, but finds curious ways to entertain herself. The going-ons of "regular" people amuses her, and she will go out of her way to make a person's life trickier. She sometimes provides help or supportive attention to those in need, but she is far removed from the typical array of human (and human-like) emotions. As such, she is not often moved by others' plights. Nonetheless, she is not malevolent, but rather playful and energetic. Her playfulness is most noticeable in her intimate relations with others.<br/><br/>Background ~ The life of a nymph is long and, generally, boring. They tend to stay close to home and do little but mingle with other nymphs - unless someone stumbles into their presence. Caliroesis is somewhat different. She actively leaves her home forest to explore the worlds around her. She is curious about the workings of mortal creatures, and easily entertain by their antics. She tends to stay in the background, manipulating what she can to force reactions from others. She never harms anyone, but sometimes her tricks cause minor injury. She spends most of her time in hiding, but shows herself when she finds someone who suits her fancy - or when she can no longer deny her biological urges. She has seen the Café before, but this is her first time visiting. Her intentions are the same as ever: to amuse herself, and possibly find someone with whom to enjoy a more direct form of entertainment.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://i65.tinypic.com/zsmh6o.jpg) </div>Name ~ Toma Hayama<br/><br/>Played By ~ Saku<br/><br/>Age ~ 24<br/><br/>Sexuality ~ Gay<br/><br/>Breed ~ Hybrid (half-vampire, half-human)<br/><br/>Power ~ Copycat and Clones. Copycat is the ability to copy/store a power and be able to use the power, he can only store up to 5 abilities at a time. If he wants to copy more, he has to 'delete' one of them to make room for another one. This is a complicated ability: in order to copy a power, Toma has to get the person to use their power on him to copy it.<br/><br/>And there is another weakness. After he copies the power, he can use it instantly but after using it, Toma passes out for an hour. After using the newly copied power three times like this, he can use it from that point on without passing out. So far he's built up a total of 3 powers, pyrokinesis, hydrokinesis and telekinesis. Clones are quite self-explanatory. He can make clones of himself but these clones merely look like him and if someone uses their power on them, it does not fulfill the requirement for copying a power.<br/><br/>Clones are used for reconnaissance and distractions.<br/><br/>Position ~ Host (in another country)<br/><br/>Personality ~ Toma cares about family more than anything else. Loyal and will never betray a friend or family member. Keeps promises when he makes them. Toma has a talent for flirting with men and exudes a dominance and charm that makes guys go weak in the knees. Has some experience with sex and his performance in the bedroom does not disappoint. He can become obsessive if something bothers or interests him enough. Has extreme focus. Afraid of sea creatures, which also includes live fish, although he will eat fish if it doesn't have a head and does not resemble a body. Likes spicy food and hates sweet food.<br/><br/>Background ~ Akira's older brother, who makes a living as a host in another country. Knows how to charm both men and women with his talents. Akira believes Toma is human and thus has kept his true identity a secret from him. But Toma is actually a hybrid, half-human and half-vampire. He doesn't have the abilities true vampires have but is much stronger than a normal human and sunlight does not bother him. Toma is also vulnerable, since he's still half-human and not immortal. He still has the same blue eyes Akira has but they turn crimson when he's hungry and when he feeds. Toma can eat human food to survive but needs to drink at least eight fluid ounces of blood a day to keep from going nuts.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://www.sexybootsrule.com/sigs/mystrissfreya3.png)  </div><br/><strong>Name ~</strong>The naming conventions are quite odd here… Her lineage is Freya, her familiar title is Odessa.<br/><br/><strong>Played By ~</strong>Mystriss Freya<br/><br/><strong>Age ~</strong>Time is relative… 800 Earth years perhaps?<br/><br/><strong>Sexuality ~</strong>Freya enjoys all sexuality. - On/Off (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=176104.msg8351085#msg8351085)<br/><br/><strong>Breed ~</strong>People here say she is a demon?  Back home and they called her an Elf.  No, she is a Deshan.<br/><br/><strong>Power ~</strong><br/><em>Dimensional Manipulation</em>– Shreds the fabric of space time.  In this facility it would only be used to retrieve and store objects.<br/><em>Elemental Particle Manipulation</em>– Physics based manipulation.  Freya specializes in the “fire” veins; unlikely any of it would be required in this haven.<br/><br/><strong>Position ~</strong>Customer.<br/><br/><strong>Personality ~</strong>Freya is extremely curious about this dimension as she’ll be stuck here for a while.  She is perhaps overly friendly, very hands on, and quite clever.  Freya has been getting better at controlling herself, but she suffers from a chemical and brain pattern "addiction" resulting in intense sexual desires.  She is excessively forward and has been in trouble with the law on numerous occasions, in numerous dimensions.<br/><br/><strong>Background ~ </strong>There was a war in her dimension between the CORE elves an the human lineages.  The stupid fools refused to submit and decided to destroy… everything, again. Her lineage is a proud one of 22 generations, her house was party to the lineage’s truce and her mate fought in The End War, they'd survived The Barrier Wars, and the bastard resistance “glassed” him.  Desperate she folded dimensions to find her mate alive, to no avail, they were all too similar...  She’s been folding dimensions for centuries and this is tenth dimension she’s found where the human lineages hadn’t started The Sovereign War, alas there are no Deshan, here, nor there, nor anywhere thus far.  It seems the two species might be incompatible… It was thought to be the case through The Barrier Wars, but none dared go against Heron and Depal...  Unfortunately she’s stuck here until she builds up enough energy for another fold - a decade at least, perhaps more given the frailty of the beings she’s drawn from thus far.  She just needs to keep her nose clean for a while more…  She was recently released from a prison in this place on the condition that she submit to scientific study – not that their boxes could hold her, but she is low on energy and grew tired of their dogged pestering.  Not to mention, quite frankly, being shot is a most unpleasant experience.  Now they are attempting to ply her for “technological” information, whatever the hell that might be, but she’s onto their deceptions.  One of the scientists directed her to this place, likely just a ploy to get information out of her, but she will never give them her lineage’s wisdom's; they are no doubt too stupid to possess even an iota of her thoughts!

These magics require varying amounts of resources and time to prepare, with some spells being simple enough to invoke with a simple phrase or gesture, while others requiring a catalyst (tomes, wands, staffs, etc.) or complex rituals to use. Typically the more powerful a spell, the more involved the casting process will be.<br/><br/>Position ~ Customer<br/><br/>Personality ~ For the most part Artemis is a kind, energetic, and inquisitive individual. His deep curiosity and thirst for knowledge make him a natural when it comes to pursuing the arcane arts, and having grown up mostly around humans he still regards the supernatural with a sense of awe and child-like wonder. Of course, he has also experienced enough of the supernatural to know to be wary of it, and the eccentric teaching methods of his mistress has lead him into danger enough times for him to develop a bit of a complex when it comes to adventuring. Most often than not when he pops up at the cafe it's after a particularly harrowing excursion, and thus the members of the cafe tend to know him more for his exhausted, grumpy side.<br/><br/>Background ~<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> Long Bio</div><div class="spoiler_body">Growing up Artemis knew very little of his heritage. Abandoned as a young toddler he never got the chance to meet his real parents, and was raised for most of his life as an orphan. He managed to get adopted in his early teens, and his foster family was quite good to him, taking him in despite being one of the older kids at the orphanage, and treating him like one of their own. He honestly never had any "horror stories" like some other adopted children had, and the foster system has actually treated him very well, and as such he never really yearned for his birth family all that much. Obviously sometimes he wondered what it would have been like to meet them, but why bother giving them any thought when they obviously didn't care that much for him? Especially when he had a set of parents who really did care for him. <br/><br/>Things changed however when he came of age and was approached by a group of strange women. It was revealed to him that his mother had not been an ordinary human, but a powerful witch...just like all of them. She had not abandoned the boy out of callousness, but necessity, as a group of humans, religious fanatics still stuck in the old Salem days, had suspected her of being a witch (which was true fair enough just not in the way they thought) and started to harass and attack her family. She had intended to drop young Artemis off at the shelter and pick him up again once the issue blew over, but a confrontation outside their home escalated far out of hand, resulting in both her and Artemises father being shot and murdered. <br/><br/>At first the other members of the coven had thought it better to just leave the boy be and let him live a normal life, and thus left him to the care of humans. However with the boy's latent magic potential growing and growing by the day, with no proper outlet to release the energy swelling up within him (both a threat in it's own right and turning him into a beacon for threats lured by strong magic), they decided it would be best to finally assign him a teacher. Both intrigued by this strange new world, and spurred on by a previously unfelt swell of family pride, the boy heartily agreed to become an apprentice witch. <br/><br/>Of course his new life as a witches apprentice did not exactly play out how he thought. His mistress, <div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Lady Branwen</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i.imgur.com/gnJRKTr.jpg)</div></div> has proven to be a wise, powerful, but painfully eccentric teacher. Her methods are sporadic, enigmatic, dangerous, and at times downright perverse, with a preference for using "hands on" experiences to train and instruct. "Hands on" sometimes being very literal, the witch seeing no issue with "sampling" her apprentice time to time, and even using magic to subtly feminize his appearance and body over time. Though more often than not it actually means trekking out on dangerous expeditions to get first hand experience in the field, everything from trudging through murky swamps to collect alchemic ingredients, to fighting fierce beasts to test out new combat spells. <br/></div></div><br/><hr/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://i63.tinypic.com/2pye59l.jpg)</div>Name ~ Latvia Montrose<br/>Played By ~ Saku<br/>Age ~ 24<br/>Sexuality ~ Gay<br/>Breed ~ Shapeshifter (can shift into any human or animal form)<br/><br/>Power ~<br/>Healing & Regeneration: Can heal others and regenerates from wounds/injuries.<br/>Life Writing: Whatever he writes in his notebook can come to life, as long as it's the size of the notebook or smaller. He needs to know the name of the object and what it does.<br/><br/>Position ~ Customer & Wanderer<br/><br/>Personality ~ Loyal to his family and will never betray them. Obsessed with finding/protecting Lamia. Very intelligent, rarely smiles and tends to be quiet most of the time, preferring to listen to others speak. He doesn't like to use his abilities because it brings too much attention but doesn't hesitate to use them if he deems it necessary. Afraid of spiders and centipedes and tries to crush bugs and insects as often as he can. Even when he shifts into animal forms, he tries to stay away from the former two. Loves sno cones and takoyaki.<br/><br/>Background ~ Born to a family of shifters, Latvia was the pride of his parents. The most important things to him were bringing honor to his family name and looking after/protecting Lamia. He seemed to be on the fast track for life and his future looked bright, until Lamia was stolen from them as a baby. Ever since, Latvia has dedicated his life to tracking down those responsible for the kidnapping and bringing Lamia back home. He developed martial arts skills along the way, having trained with some of the best in the trade (fae, human, any other kind of supernatural creature).

The latter almost never happens but the former happens every now and then. He loves being a demon and although messes with the human population quite often, never reveals his identity doing so. Thus, there is no risk of being exposed as a demon. The thrill he gets from messing with them, while hiding who/what he is, is comparable to nothing else. He enjoys spicy food, destroying living things, creating havoc/chaos, destruction, seeing others in pain and is somewhat of a sadist.<br/><br/>Background ~ Only son of two demon parents who reside in the underworld and has a younger sister. His goal is to corrupt everyone in the world and send their souls to hell. Thus, resulting in making either his parents or him and his sister rulers of Hell. He dislikes hybrids of any kind and thinks they should be tortured and then given a slow, painful death. Hybrids were never meant to be. Ryu believes only in purebloods, as that is what he and his sister are. After meeting up with Sam one day and realizing something was off about her, he investigated for a few months and eventually discovered what had happened between her and Avynn. Thus starting him on a anger spree, directed at Avynn and anyone/anything he cared about.

She's drawn to bad-ass guys/girls and violence. Very bold, enjoys adventure/exercise, loves to experiment and always tries new things. She's like a whirlwind that never slows down and is even called Nado by her brother sometimes because of how she never stops or slows down, like a tornado. She never seems to get depressed or sad, at least not when others can see. Enjoys being outside or inside but prefers the former over the latter.<br/><br/>Background ~ Sam is Ryu's younger sister. Their parents are demons who reside in the underworld but sent their children up above ground to keep an eye on things and report to them about their findings on a weekly basis. Ryu causes havoc in the human world, while Sam travels all over the place in search of new and different things to do. It's during this time that Sam met Avynn, before the half-demon opened up his cafe. Ever since, Ryu's been searching for Avynn, after having found out why Sam started acting strangely.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Name</strong>~Grom<br/><br/><strong>Played By</strong>~Lord Rod<br/><br/><strong>Age</strong>~5000+<br/><br/><strong>Sexuality</strong>~ Heterosexual (Still working on the O/O list-https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=265306.0 (http://O/O list-https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=265306.0)) and Asexual<br/><br/>Breed (http://Breed) ~ Rock Troll<br/><br/>Power  (http://Power)~ Tough as Nails<br/><br/>-Grom is strong, able to lift about 5 tons.<br/><br/>-Grom is very difficult to kill.  If it isn't cold iron, it might mark him and knock of some rock, but it will grow back on the rise of the next setting sun.  Cold Iron causes him pain and takes a full year to heal from.<br/><br/>-Grom does need to breathe but he has tireless endurance.<br/><br/>-Grom can speak to the stones and the earth which makes him really good at finding things there as he needs it and is on great terms with most elementals.<br/><br/>-Grom can meld into natural earth and travel that way when needed.<br/><br/><strong>Position</strong>~ Customer - None needed.  Peace and a place to reflect are what he wants.<br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>~ Confused is the best way to summarize this.  He has a long and convoluted history and is trying to reconnect with what and who he is in a world that has changed so much he doesn't know what to do with it.  Rock Trolls are not the most adroit or adept of individuals at the best of times; when they have had their whole world turned upside down so many times? He has echoes of his other pasts that flare up like shards in his life at the oddest of times; he can be rude, whimsical, kind, joyful, self righteous, pedantic or sedentary.  He has passions and desires that are rare for one of his kind.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>~ Grom started out life as a Rock Troll and then became a hapless human villager in the American West.  He lost a bet and in order to pay it had to pay for the worst thing the Leprechaun could imagine.  That was a creative punishment that lasted two or three decades.  Grom (almost should be in quotes at that point) became a bible thumping sherrif who was tried...and found guilty of 'murder' for standing up for the town.  But a passing human scientist used his dead body for experiments, turning him into an animated half human thing...a true Frankenstein monster, unaware that his transformed troll body was half the reason for his success.  Hiding in the shadows as a disfigured thing, his human memories tormenting him, he got to know many Fae and slowly began to reintigrate into the 'real' world with few of them knowing who he really was.  Eventually, the Leprechaun was hunted down by Grom's other brother who demanded to know what had happened to him.  Took them both working together the better part of a quarter of a century to find him 'doing good to his fellow man in the shadows' before they turned him back.  Needless to say, while technically intact, Grom is...coming to grips with things. The Cafe seemed the perfect place to do that.<br/><strong><br/>Description:</strong>Loom.  That is the description of Grom.  He is the kind of thing you don't want to see in Dark Alleys.  He is the kind of thing that you don't want to appear darkening your doorstep.  At his most comfortable, Grom is seven and a half feet tall and looks like a line backer.  How does he get through a human city? Sewers or melding into the stone is nice when he calls in a favor from an elemental or two, but the truth is, he could pass for human if he needed to.  In a thick leather trench coat with a heavy scarf and gloves, he looks like a Linebacker with thick bulging muscles that one can see even through the leather of the coat or the thick black leather boots.  Doesn't matter to him.  He likes heat.  He often wears a pair of mirror shades though the dim luminesent flicker of his eyes in amber can be seen if a bright enough light is shown into them.  He is not actually made of stone, his skin is grey, a bad enough lack of tan; maybe the ultimate jock computer nerd.  He can blend, he used to think he was human for a while after all.<br/><strong><br/>Notable Possessions</strong>: Lots of Gems, Jewels, Gold, Rocks and a Trench Coat of Munchkinizing ( if you look human you get all that goes with it, which means a drastic reduction in strength....(ie just as strong as a human that is as strong as a linebacker would do) plus he can't hear the earth.)<br/><br/><hr/><br/>
