				Title: <strong>List of Collars and Charms for Character Creation</strong><br>
				Post by: <strong>Ziven</strong> on <strong>18-02-2014, 20:52:43</strong>
			</dt>
			<dd class="postbody">
				<strong>Collars and charms are the mark of a slave and describe what a slave is useful - or trained - for.</strong> Collars are usually about a centimeter wide (4/10 of an inch) and most often made of synthetic materials that are as flexible as silk and fit a slave's neck snugly. Charms are small symbols that can be attached to a collar like small brooches, about the size of a shirt button. Both charms and collars can be worn all day without much, or any, discomfort, <strong>including during a swim or while taking a shower or a bath</strong>. <br><br>Taking off a standard collar can be easily accomplished by someone standing behind a slave, but it would take quite a bit of manual dexterity for a slave to remove his/her own collars (which is not to say that it can't be done). Of course Masters are free to add whatever intricate locks they like to a collar or weld the locks shut (in which case it would take a very sharp instrument to remove a collar). Once bought, some Masters conceal their slaves' talents by outfitting them with more stylish collars that may have a personal flair. This is a practice that is thought to deter theft.<hr>In addition to collars and charms a lot of slavers also like to advertise their wares with descriptions of their personality, advertising them as particularly obedient, aggressive, or something along those lines. These traits are not reflected by the collars and charms, but they can be written into the initial meeting between master and slave at the marketplace at they players' discretion.<hr>Here's a list of collars and charms that can be added to them. Some charms can only be added to certain collars. If you don't have the collar you can't have the charm.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Click Here to Show</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Pink - Trained to provide pleasure</strong><br>With no charms added: Toy/Pet<ul class="bbc_list"><li type="disc">Handcuffs - likes to be tied up</li><li type="disc">Mouth with tongue licking its lips - Oral fetish, or trained in oral sex</li><li type="disc">Whip - Accepts torture willingly</li><li type="disc">Barbed Wire - Trained to play the dominant part in a sexual encounter</li><li type="disc">Symbol of Mars (circle with arrow) - trained to pleasure men</li><li type="disc">Symbol of Venus (circle with cross underneath) - Trained to pleasure women</li><li type="disc">Symbols of Mars and Venus combined - Trained to pleasure both men and women</li></ul><strong>Orange - Fighter/Guard</strong><ul class="bbc_list"><li type="disc">Sword - Trained with melee weapons</li><li type="disc">Balled Fist - Trained in hand-to-hand combat</li><li type="disc">Bullet - Trained with ranged weapons</li></ul>As any guard should be assumed to have at least a basic knowledge of weapons and fighting techniques one charm of the above should be added to signify a solid, above-average training.

				Title: <strong>Locations within "The City"</strong><br>
				Post by: <strong>Ziven</strong> on <strong>19-02-2014, 22:47:05</strong>

			<dd class="postbody">
				For general labeling purposes, our City doesn't have a specific name - though we may change that in the near future. It is situated in the Northeast United States, not too far from the coast. There are several different locations used both inside the city as well as abroad. Earth has spawned new landmasses in the wake of being refueled by so much magic, and I would like to point out before we get started that our World Map would look very different from ones used today. Because of this, we're less focused on locations inside of the city than we are locations elsewhere in the world.<br><br>For those of you who are concerned about where to put information about your homes, personally owned businesses (for more detailed listings) and the like, please feel free to reply to this thread with your information and label everything clearly. <br><br>With that said, please feel free to use the different locations here as backdrops for your one-on-one and one-shot RPs. Some of our large events will be taking place in a few of these locations, as well.<br><br><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Generally Well Known/Important Locations:</span></strong></span><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Various Homes and Apartments</div><div class="spoiler_body">Of course, these dwellings are among the first thought of when talking about a city - the people have to have somewhere to live, right? In the City, homes are mostly located around the perimeter of the downtown area, but apartments are interspersed in the heart of all of the hustle and bustle. You may actually find a home or two squeezed between a few businesses here and there. These are where the "average" citizens live, where those who were born and raised in the city make their own destinies. Not every neighborhood is safe, but it's a decent place if visitors aren't too flashy.</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">The Slave Market</div><div class="spoiler_body">Once a large sports center near the city center, this sprawling building has long ago changed beyond recognition. What once were individual sports courts are now holding areas, each filled with slave cages centered around a certain category of slave, be it pleasure, guard, maid, or one of the many other roles a slave can fill. Armed guards are constantly on patrol, and many of them like nothing better than making a slave well aware of who is in charge, while slave traders stand ready to sing the highest praise of their wares. Although there are many private services for purchasing pre-trained slaves, this is where the majority of the Master population take their risks. The area is nearly constantly filled with the sound of soft ringing, the sound that collars and charms make when clinging together.</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">The Inner City Mall</div><div class="spoiler_body">Open 24/7 almost all your shopping needs can be served at the mall. While most shops belong to large franchise chains there are also a few more specialized shops that cater to almost any imaginable need, from bondage gear to fine jewelry. Tugged away in one corner of the mall is the Arms Emporium that sells almost all the arms and armor a hunter may need, while hidden even deeper in the recesses of the mall a small store awaits those in need of magical wares and alchemical supplies. So come in and shop till you drop.<br><br><strong>Specifically Noted Stores:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Petco:</strong> One of the more popular surviving franchises, this store is tailored to carry accessories and equipment to handle nearly any creature. Taking up the full three-stories of the mall itself on one side, the store's design is centered around two large square openings stretching from top to bottom, wide enough to serve as landing locations for two large Dragons (albeit, two is the maximum number of Dragons allowed to be in the store at any given time). It's considered a must for tourists who are into local culture, and natives also appreciate only having to stop at one place to find accessories for pets and at times slaves alike.</li><li><strong>Von Muar:</strong> A place known for their high class fashions, they are most widely known for exclusively hosting creations from the famous <em>Mei Sung</em> brand as far in advance as three weeks before the lines are sold in other stores.</li><li><strong>Black Ostrich:<strong> A generally popular chain of shoe emporiums, with "upscale designs" at "everyman prices". <em>"Get your head out of the sand, and head over to Black Ostrich!"</em></strong></strong></li></ul></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">"The Park"</div><div class="spoiler_body">The green lung of the city. Meadows and groves crisscrossed by gravel paths, centered around a huge fountain in the center of the park. Playgrounds and a small lake make this park a perfect place for families to enjoy the weekend, and hard-worked people to enjoy their lunch break. During the winter an ice-skating ring is set up near the fountain, and small cafes and food stalls offer eating opportunities year round.</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">The Masters' Club</div><div class="spoiler_body">At the edge of the woods stands an old mansion that has been converted to a clubhouse for the masters residing in the area. The facilities include two bars, a restaurant, golf course, pool, spa, and conference rooms. To gain membership in the club one has to own at least one slave, but once membership is gained it is permanent, even if a master loses his/her slaves. The club is staffed by both temp slaves and normal (non-slave) employees and offers some of the best dining around. Members can bring their slaves and are allowed to bring guests too.<br><br>The club is neutral territory, and as such there exists an unspoken rule that masters should not use their powers and supernatural abilities (if they have any) on or against each other on the club grounds. The club is run by Sir Albert Black.</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Sprawling Outskirts</div><div class="spoiler_body">The edges of the City hold many large dwelling structures. Castles, Manors and Mansions have been built in an attempt to make more talented and powerful creatures (or humans, though this is rare) feel welcome. These tend to be own by high society's finest, and many of the occupants of these homes are aware of each other as influences on the City. These comes often come with large plots of land that involve lots of upkeep, and more space than any one person can handle.</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">The Bazaar Sector</div><div class="spoiler_body">This is an area of town maintained specifically for Traders and their wares. It is set up like an outdoor market, with temporary shop and living space for those who occupy it. Exotic items, foods, fabrics, machinery and even slaves from private sellers can be found here.</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">The Underground</div><div class="spoiler_body">The bowels of the City are home to gathering groups of rogues, workers-for-hire and other unsavory characters who wish to keep their whereabouts unknown. These areas are normally closer to the edges of the city to allow for easy comings and going, but some of these shady characters or outcasts know how to silently pass through the inner city as well.</div></div><br><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Restaurants/Eateries:</span></strong></span><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Pandora's/Ayers (Nightclub/Restaurant)</div><div class="spoiler_body">A nightclub upstairs of Ayers, both owned by Damian Alcrest, care of Alcrest Restaurants. When the dining downstairs at Ayers is done, the fun begins upstairs. Soft comfortable banquet seating on either end of a large dance floor. It also offers has fine dining tapas and bar type food made for the upper crust. Caters to the rich, young and beautiful, and the Front of House manager Modrid goes the extra mile for every patron, while Kitchen Manager Ren serves up the best food.</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Maralino's (Café)</div><div class="spoiler_body">A cafe not far from the mall, but hidden in a side street. Wicker chairs, light colors, wooden tables. Serves some of the best coffee in town, plus cakes, and some warm food during the afternoon and evening. The perfect spot to escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a moment and relax in a calm and friendly place.</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Alfredo's (Restaurant, Italian)</div><div class="spoiler_body">A restaurant somewhere in an average part of town, not too far from a rarely used shortcut out of the city and towards the nearby forest area inland. Authentic Italian cuisine.</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Le Roi (Bistro)</div><div class="spoiler_body">This particular restaurant serves an extensive variety of tea and coffee, which are their specialty. Outside of drinks, creative sandwiches are their forte. On the menu they also serve salads, soups and minimal meat dishes. They is also a breakfast menu consisting of waffles and silver dollar pancakes. A high-end bistro, their colors are a dark maroon which gives the polished wooden seating and tables a high quality look, and eggwhite, with golden accents. The logo for this bistro is a small crown (http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/3738/crowncdsmall.jpg), usually in gold. Their table cloths are representative of their colors and logo:<br>&nbsp;<br>"a cute, polished table of dark wood, covered with a eggwhite tablecloth, the edges embroidered with a cute pattern that Deveraux knew by heart: accented stitches in a maroon shade, that golden crown (still small) present on all four corners".</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Shalimar (Restaurant, Indian)</div><div class="spoiler_body">This Indian restaurant offers a very different flavors than typically found in the streets of the City. This restaurant specializes in Tandoori dishes, cooked in a clay oven. A middle class restaurant, this establishment offers a more sophisticated feel for a more economical price. Most dishes are prepared with chicken, although there is also a large selection of vegetarian dishes on the menu as well. This business sits in the middle of its block, and the ambiance of watching passersby through the large front window is part of its charm.</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Gaijin Kingdom (Restaurant, Asian)</div><div class="spoiler_body">This large chain boasts a generous portion of Asian cuisine prepared in North American styles. Despite its name being very tongue-in-cheek, poking fun at those who are customers to cheap replica restaurants (and know little to nothing about the cultures that are being emulated), it has one of the best ratings in the city at large. Complete with both a cheaper buffet as well as serviced dining, Gaijin Kingdom is often a required stop for tourists.</div></div><br><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Other/Miscellaneous Businesses:</span></strong></span><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Biotronics, Inc.</div><div class="spoiler_body">Located at 1 Washington Plaza, this skyscraper is topped by a giant double-helix logo that shines a silver and green glow over the surrounding buildings at night. The owner's office is located right on the top; several sub-levels house laboratories and research facilities. This company dabbles in technology involving development of chemicals that influence both Human and non-Human bodies and corporeal forms.</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">ABCorp (Contractable Lab Work)</div><div class="spoiler_body">One of few licensed labs within the city, where various companies contract work to be done with dangerous substances that would not be suitable for public spaces. Security is tight because of the nature of the materials being worked with, and it is not visited often by those unassociated with that line of work. Currently, this lab has partnered with Biotronics on a project.</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Ballet School for Gifted Youngsters (Dance Studio)</div><div class="spoiler_body">A studio on the corner of 42nd and Park Street, wall-to-wall windows, a tan hardwood floor that doesn't creak with a small desk for reception near the entrance. There is a bar against the mirrored wall and at the wall behind. Temporary bars are installed in perpendicular rows against the horizontal bars. The walls are stark white. In the back there is a small supply room and closet. In the closet the floorboards lift to make room for Keally George, the owner and proprietor's, sleeping quarters.</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">The Worthington (News Headquarters)</div><div class="spoiler_body">This is the most popular and relevant news reporting company in this particular city. Lead by Rosalyn Worthington, a Freed Slave, many may argue the idea of a former slave heading such a large company but cannot refute the paper's integrity. Known for having creative Editorials and interviewing being of interest in the general area, it is celebrated as much for its more serious coverage as the playful.</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Dempsey's (High End Department Store)</div><div class="spoiler_body">Designer pieces, the latest fashion, handbags, shoes, cosmetics. Think of it as the equivalent of Bloomingdale's or Bergdorf and don't enter without a very fat wallet. Located on the corner of Fifth and Sacks. </div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">The Fast Lane Convenience and Tavern (Truck Stop)</div><div class="spoiler_body">A lonely gas station and rest stop about 30 mins out of the city. On the major highway. Features convenience store with attached tavern, which sells burgers and other homemade-style foods, and alcohol. Features a single pool table, jukebox and dart board. </div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Morning Glory Campsite and Cabin Rentals (Campgrounds)</div><div class="spoiler_body">On the shore of Kaministiqua River, several cabins litter a wide breadth of area. Every cabin has plumbing with a small kitchen and working appliances, but appliances are small and minimal (ie. hot plate stove, mini fridge, and pots and pans with plates and cutlery provided). In each cabin plot there is a deep bonfire pit between the river and the cabin with old wooden benches around it. The bonfires are encased in concrete bricks and there is an old metal grate over the top so you can cook burgers, etc. on it. There are metal rods to assist in cooking. Inside the cabin are two small bedrooms, each furnished with a double bed. The bedrooms are small and aside from a dim wall light and the bed there is a nightstand and small upright dresser. The window faces East in one, and North on the other. The den is small as it is shared with the kitchen in the same room. Lumpy sofa adorns the room with no television or phone. The floors are hardwood and there is a god-awful ugly knitted rug between the lumpy sofa facing the East bayed window and the small, round kitchen table. The cabins are log cabins and the bathroom facilities are hardly modern, with only a low-water toilet and no shower or bathtub. It is assumed the river would be your bath. Behind the cabins (about a two minute walk), there is is a communal fire shelter where you chop your own wood(logs are provided). A thick line of trees separate individual cabin plots to provide a sense of solitude. </div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Oscar's Pit (Brothel)</div><div class="spoiler_body">There's nothing really special about this hole in the wall. It resides between the slums and the downtown area, avoiding the most dangerous types of crimes but somehow dimming the downtown area it sits near. The prized slave at the establishment is <em>Natasha</em>, a weak nymph owned by Oscar and has been passed down to his second nephew, Pete, who is now running the establishment. The logo for "Oscar's" is a robust peach. The place has two floors with long corridors, hosting several rooms for "servicing". Many of the wares are available for home rental at a very steep price.</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Blossom Ranch (Horse Riding/Housing Accommodations)</div><div class="spoiler_body">A very large ranch holding over forty horses, it is located quite far from the City. This establishment offers riding lessons, accepts bids for breeding and also offers free-riding and trail-riding - horse owner can also "pay rent" to house their companions there temporarily. The ranch is large, featuring general holding stables as well as separate locations for care-taking of both stallions and mares. There is also a dressage arena, and occasionally the ranch hosts contests in that area. The business is co-owned by Blossom, from whom the name was taken, and Deveraux Dixon, an equine connoisseur and investor. It is important to note that the ranch is on a large expanse of property that includes secluded forest area. There are, actually, wild horses who run near the premises - part of the goal of the ranch is protect the land it stands on by prohibiting the taming of wild horses in that particular area.<br><strong>Click here for the Ranch Layout</strong> (http://img804.imageshack.us/img804/512/sranchlayout.png)</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Commisceo (Apothecary)</div><div class="spoiler_body">It is commonly referred to as "The Apothecary", as it is the only one of such a large size within the city.<br><br>The meaning of the name is "To mix thoroughly/properly". Although the store was constructed in a older, archaic style (suitable to the stereotype of apothecaries), the owner, a dwarf named Howell, is quite tech savvy. He offers introductory classes on mixing and potions-making, and is very helpful to those who are looking for ingredients. The store houses a few magical rarities in addition to potions ingredients, and has an excellent stock of tomes for tutelage beyond the introductory level. This store is located in the heart of the city, and, despite its looks, is heralded is the best apothecary in the general area.</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">City Opera House (Performance Venue)</div><div class="spoiler_body">A large but humble building from the outside, the Opera House is a large marble structure that contains much more colorful decoration inside. There is one grand hall, but several dinner and small performance rooms scattered about the structure. It spans several levels and allows for both balcony and box seating.<br>&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;"a large, unassuming building constructed from marble on the outside, the title of the establishment at the top of the main section in glossy, carefully cut black letters. The marble was dark, reflecting the sky outside and lights illuminating the black letters. It was a spectacular effect, even though it was rather plain in nature". <br>&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;"They would have time to walk around a bit (if it was possible) so that he could show her the beautiful architecture (http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/8739/thedetroitoperahouse.jpg). It would be difficult to miss, and it more than made up for the building's unassuming exterior".</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">The Crystal Wyrm (Gift Shop)</div><div class="spoiler_body">This is one of those places that does exactly what one would infer - The proprietor crafts crystalline gifts and , novelties with crystal incorporated into them. Most popular are trinkets related to lighting and glowing, but a person who was specific enough and knew more about the conduction power of crystals could request much more. Crystals of different types can also be bought, sold and traded in this establishment.<br><br>The mascot for this shop is indeed the same as the name: an older dragon, standard chromatic red, sitting atop a pile of crystals and looking quite please with himself. The door of the establishment is red. Both the doorknob and wide-pane viewing window at the front of the shop are hewn crystal, carefully shaped and magically secured.</div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Neighborhood After Dark (Nightclub)</div><div class="spoiler_body">The exterior, laden with brick in the old style, gives way to a plushy interior whose theme was "patterns". Nearly every area, sitting or drinking or dancing is covered in a specific pattern or design, from tablecloths to wallpaper to chairs and stools. It is called by some "<em>The Patchwork Club</em>", and anyone can see why. Each area is different, and holds something new. Of rooms in the past, there have been: a romantic area populated by tables for two (the pattern theme, incorporated hearts); a wine bar whose pattern was a lovely gold and black damask; several group areas with circle-based and stripe patterns, fit with booth tables for large parties, and bars that often held weapon-based patterns as the theme. The Stiletto room is fondly remembered as a classic amongst ladies because of its stiletto based decorations - even the VIP lounge chairs, scattered in the room, were plush and shaped like heeled shoes. Every once in a while, the club would receive an overhaul and changes would be made to various areas and rooms, sometimes getting rid of old ones and introducing new ones. Many artists often pay to have their lounge-chair art incorporated into the design.</div></div>

He’s Japanese, which is evident in the way that he dresses when visiting Deveraux. He's almost always wearing traditional robes and kimono. There is only one occasion Dev can remember where he wore regular clothing, and it quite a few decades ago.<br><br>The two met when Deveraux's parents moved into the countryside of the coastal town, and the new family and Sadame got along swimmingly. The fact of the matter was that Sadame had spent his life alone up to that point, and appreciated the company. <br><br>Deveraux was very young (for a demon) when he moved away from his hometown and spent his first few years isolated and working for his parents. Dev was the person who taught Sadame how to drive, and their romance began then. They spoke a lot about each other's pasts and histories. It took quite some time for Deveraux to coax Sadame into becoming intimate, but he eventually succeeded.<br><br>It’s unknown how often Sadame and Deveraux actually sleep together, mostly because when Sadame visits, it’s to check on his slaves and make sure that they’re not plotting to kill Dev. Sadame is also Dev’s best friend, and very often when he comes over it’s to share a spot of tea. <br><br>Sadame has five slaves of his own who are also Japanese, but they usually are only seen on special occasions. The two are so close that they have keys to each others’ homes and are welcome to visit even&nbsp; when the other isn’t at home. Sadame’s slaves even call Deveraux ‘Master’. He’s often the objective party and sometimes mediates disputes between Dev and his slaves, and he’s known for getting Dev out of trouble—usually financial. He’s responsible for Deveraux learning how to speak Japanese effectively.</div></div><br><div align="center">(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c5/velvetkitsune/SexyNatasha.png)<br><br><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size"><span style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva;" class="bbc_font">Natasha</span></span></strong></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Natasha is Deveraux's favorite pleasure slave at the brothel that he used to frequent, called Oscars.

When she visited she brought six of her own, and immediately took a liking to Julius, asking Dev if he would be willing to let her have him. She treats her men like she treats her dogs--which is surprisingly well, but she expects her every whim to be obeyed at the drop of a hat--or serious consequences are going to be faced.

He could tell at certain moments that Shar'd had a difficult past (and Shar shared a bit of the surface information with him, pertaining to his previous masters) and he had been looking forward to getting to know Shar better, actually figuring out what he had been through. Deveraux spent his whole relationship with Shar under the impression that he was simply human who had been abused, gifted with song--and when he discovered something personal about Shar (that he was capable of magic) it turned out to be their last moment together.

Deveraux and Lucian haven't dated for a long time, and tend to have an on-and-off type quality to their relationship.

He is known best for his wry and oftentimes cruel wit, which manifests as myriad side commentary spoken in a nonchalant manner. The man seems to hold no interest in slaves, nor in spending time with Deveraux in his home, which is exemplified by the fact that his very first appearance was with Deveraux at Lucian Yale (http://s4.zetaboards.com/lifeofserving/topic/7994302/) and Dinah Anderson's (http://s4.zetaboards.com/lifeofserving/topic/7979464/1/) engagement party...</div></div><br><div align="center">(http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/1282/cherriela.png)<br><br><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size"><span style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva;" class="bbc_font">Cherrie Hanko</span></span></strong></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">A woman with of expensive taste.

Deveraux has been courting her since.<br><br>The two share a difficult relationship, considering that she is a vampire who cannot function during the day. Their time together is typically limited, but Deveraux makes a conscientious effort to <em>create</em> time for her. He considers her to be very special, and he recognizes her needs and wishes to cater to them. Modrid has shown him that she can be kind and loving, but he frets often about her emotional availability. To remedy his worries, he's assured himself that their relationship is just developing slowly due to the time they spend apart.</div></div><br><div align="center">(http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n149/wildchildzoom/imagesCA1FT6W5.jpg)<br><br><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size"><span style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva;" class="bbc_font">Draiton</span></span></strong></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Dratz is the vampire that crash landed in Dev's life rather unexpectedly.

Despite meaning for their relationship to be a very disjointed short-term one, they've developed feelings for each other and Deveraux hasn't seen fit to dissolve his relationship with Dee. Dev sees potential in the dejected vampire, and has gone through great strides to see that he's given the chance to do what he was not able to when younger, including sponsoring Dratz through school (although not many others know this outside of Sadame).

Deveraux originally began speaking to Raven to try to convince him of Dratz's improving behavior and his progress in terms of becoming a functioning member of society. Raven found Dev rather attractive and romanced him with the help of some magics and bewitchings, although the attraction stuck even when said accommodations were withdrawn. Deveraux doesn't make it a habit to interact with Raven very often, however; the man is much more magically powerful than Dev can ever hope to be, and hte relation that he shares with Dee is also a deterrent. He is Dratz's father, nonetheless, and and despite wanting to avoid him he must be consulted when it comes to certain things.</div></div><br><div align="center">(http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/9623/kyola.png)<br><br><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size"><span style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva;" class="bbc_font">Kyo</span></span></strong></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Kyo is Dee's uncle, and from his understanding they have a very strained past involving a mutual lover that ended badly.

Kyo is fun-loving and upbeat, and that's what Deveraux likes about him the most, at times preferring his company to Draiton's.</div></div></div></div>

Raised in a village of elves that did not make themselves known to humans, Mary has seen many of the major developments that have taken place for humankind and thought herself above it.<br><br>Her family's maiden name is Io (after "some human culture" that her ancestors admired the stories of), and the clan that she hails from, mainly settled in Spain, are well-known for supporting relations between Elves and Demons - at least, the more refined and less feral breeds - for supplemental abilities. They are a controversial clan among elves, and are most easily recognized as the only branch of elf that considers red eyes a typical and attractive feature. Hair and skin color and type vary - and it's very likely that any elf/demon mix can be traced back to this particular clan. It does not take more than a few demons to strengthen the gene pool, however, and only in a groups does the demonic population even match that of the Elven.<br><br>Marilessë has silver hair and pale red eyes. She's getting old, but she goes through the trouble of using magic to make her appear a lot younger, as she likes her appearance to match her husbands (who, as a demon, does not show age as easily). She's very professional, enjoys getting her work done and especially loves doing work that directly benefits other beings - hence her spinning and fabric company. Even her fun loving side is a bit stiff, but she does have hobbies, etc. Little does Dev know, her mother was once more wild in behavior, more unruly; but such things are to be left in childhood, she feels, and there is no use in going so far to squander the rest of her time being childish.<br><br>She is elitist, as that was how she was raised, and does not abide by company that she considers less than appropriately defined. Knowledge of etiquette and proper manners (as in formal social manners) is a minimal requirement. Wealth (though she wouldn't openly admit it) is also something that she considers important, but not always a priority in terms of judging. Field of occupation is a factor (and lack thereof is never a good thing, neither is a questionable field). Blood is another factor - when she mentions this, it is understood by her husband (and not very many others) that she is referring to not the purity of the person's lineage (which is not of any particular concern to her). Rather, she is referring to the person's background in terms of behavior, the situations that they are used to encountering. A person who, for example, has been abused or has previously been a slave would be what she refers to as a person "bad blood". It does not affect how she feels about them as a person - sometimes refined individuals have darker pasts - however, she feels that people are followed by the situations they've been involved in, regardless if they've conquered those situations.<br><br>She is quite strict about those requirements (particularly manners), and is known for scrutinizing anyone that her sons bring home - though she's harsher with Dev. Mary is quite on the fence when it comes to Deveraux's behavior, namely because she feels that is too close to the behavior of those with "bad blood" to her liking. Dev was not abused as a child (at least, not more than being teased about his wings) and it perplexes her to no end that despite having grown into a responsible man, he still continues to live a very ...unorthodox life. <br><br>The only woman she has met that she liked was Sarah. Mary loves her granddaughters, and to this day feels that Deveraux made a terrible decision in not marrying Sarah. She was also extremely disappointed to have Sarah introduced as his wife only to find out that it was not documented.<br><br>Other than this one bittersweet achievement, Mary can sometimes be quite cold to Dev. She does not hate her child, but is disappointed in many of the choices that he's made, particularly about his sexuality and his treatment of women. It goes against what she was always taught, and she is a strong proprietor for monogamy. Sometimes she feels as though Dev may be possessed, or being influenced by some infernal being - they seem so different. But there are many things that Dev does/qualities that he possesses that balance her feelings out. Deveraux is wonderful at spinning, something that her second son, Jean-Danielle, is terrible at. Dev also excels at mannerisms and hospitality. He's very charming, and aside from his streak as a sexual deviant he is nearly everything that she sought to see in her offspring.<br><br>It is part of the reason why she is so disappointed.</div></div><br><div align="center">(http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/1834/eredjonla.png)<br><br><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size"><span style="font-family: Brush Script MT;" class="bbc_font">Eredjon (Jon) Manost Dixon</span></span></strong></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Dev's father, sporting pretty long blond hair and Deveraux's trademark blue eyes. It is from him that Deveraux gets his outgoing and positive personality as well as his charm and gift of gab. He's a demon, but average (which is still much more powerful than Dev), about 827 years old, and naturally looks as young as a 35 year old (to his wife's envy). His animal form, for shits and giggles, is an Arctic fox, although he has trained to surpass the average physical strength of the animal for it to be more effective. He's a fun-lover, also like Dev, and it was him that instilled in Dev that he should explore his interests and fancies. <br><br>Eredjon is a demon born on a ship, interestingly enough. Although his biological ethnicity is Québécois, he was raised in France and considers himself French and nothing else. He's found himself to be skilled with ice-related magics due to his connection with water. He met Marilessë while she was visiting friends in France and the two fell in love almost immediately. Jon appreciated a woman that wouldn't tolerate his antics and could whip him into shape (while still being hard to get!). Mary does, after all, have a fun side (that is rarely seen by anyone but him), and he appreciates being trusted with a side of her that very few still-living beings have seen. The two get along quite well, in their own way.<br><br>Although there are places that Deveraux falls short in his eyes (particularly magical endeavors) he tends to cut his son a bit more slack, especially with him being on his own. He doesn't agree with Deveraux's sexual preference personally, but feels that everyone has their own "thing" and Deveraux is no different - to this effect, he thinks Mary is too difficult with Dev. Most of all, he respects that Deveraux is mostly comfortable with who he is. <br><br>On a separate note, he has begun to feel more comfortable with Deveraux's propensity for homosexuality, as he met Draiton Ieshitah in person, and thought he was a delightful fellow. He made a good impression and at this point - he is less concerned with the number of partners that Deveraux has had, and more with the quality of person that Deveraux surrounds himself with.</div></div><br><div align="center">(http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/5085/verala.png)<br><br><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size"><span style="font-family: Brush Script MT;" class="bbc_font">Jean-Danielle Veraphadan Daeron Dixon</span></span></strong></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Dev's younger brother, by nearly 170 years or so, making him almost 65 - still a teen as far as his parents are concerned. He has short white hair and red eyes, like their mother. He calls Dev "Kiri", a nickname based on Deveraux's middle name, and as a joke Dev calls him, "Vera", which upsets him greatly because it's a woman's name.<br><br>He practices Kendo, an ancient Japanese art for swordplay, and he gets along well with Sadame because of this, even though it is probably the only similarity they have. He hates spinning, which is the family business, which disappoints his mother. It's the only thing that she sees Vera as being inferior to Dev in, as Deveraux is brilliant at the wheel.<br><br>He's slightly misogynistic, and as such isn't a fan of homosexuality or transgenders in general. He doesn't believe in polyamory or polygamy, either (despite being promiscuous), but has previously been "amazed" at Dev's propensity for "juggling" more than one partner at once. When speaking to Dev on the phone he's much more condescending about his sexuality.<br><br>He's a bit cold in personality, even when he's not trying to be, as he takes after his mother in attitude. It's part of what makes it difficult for him to keep long-term relationships with women. His grooming has made him capable of expressing appropriate manners toward women, which is a plus in his book. However, once he starts speaking his mind it becomes apparent that he's of a much gruffer personality type.<br><br>Jean has a spot of envy for Dev in terms of how many women his older brother is able to "pull", as he's said, and a bit of rivalry has spurned for it. Be that as it may, the fondness for women is the thing that Jean actually shares with Deveraux, and the two typically go out to "have a good time" while visiting each other. <br><br>It's an odd relationship, but despite this mix of feelings the two brothers have managed to establish that they care for each other.</div></div></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Family with his First Wife</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center">(http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/2953/sarahla.png)<br><br><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size"><span style="font-family: Brush Script MT;" class="bbc_font">Sarah</span></span></strong></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">The mother of Deveraux's two children, Sarah is a water sprite. <br><br>The two met in 2007, nearly a decade after Deveraux met Jade for the first time. They were a part of a small sex circle together for quite sometime (with five other members), but they did not enter into a serious relationship until decades later, after a long absence and return.<br><br>She and Deveraux dated for nearly 19 years, and considered themselves married for 15 of them. Marie and Cielle are the products of the first three years of that union. Having two children and raising them with Dev made her realize that she was getting older and she indeed want to settle down and have a permanent relationship with only one person. Deveraux had no trouble settling down with Sarah for the duration of their children's core upbringing, but it was quite easy to tell that Deveraux did not plan on being monogamous afterward. She and Deveraux don't have any hard feelings between them, although she does wish, in part, that Deveraux would settle down as well. She's aware of Deveraux's previous children and is one of the only people (aside from Sadame, and perhaps his father) who has he has spoken to intimately about his past children.</div></div><br><div align="center">(http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/9629/marielau.png)<br><br><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size"><span style="font-family: Brush Script MT;" class="bbc_font">Marie Cireteliel Lona Dixon</span></span></strong>/center]<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">One of Deveraux's still living children.

She also has blue eyes, reflective of both parents.<br><br>She's not very fond of Deveraux at all, despite seeing him often and him being kind to her during her upbringing. She used to be very attached to Deveraux, but the more she learned about him as a person when she grew older, the less she wanted to know and wanted to spend time with him. She mostly resents him because there's no good reason as to why Deveraux didn't marry her mother, so that they could be a happy family. <br><br>She hates everything about him - his sexuality (she's personally irked by homosexuality because of him, which is one of the things that separates her from her sister), the people he dates, the fact that he has slaves, that he a demon. Marie feels that everything that her father has involved himself in are simply more terrible decisions that stopped her parents from being together. In this she and her grandmother Marilessë agree completely, and after this was established the two became very close.<br><br>Marie does, however, realize that he's wealthy and feels entitled to his wealth as one of his children - and therefore has no trouble asking him for help with anything, even now that she's an adult. <br><br>Excelling at water and ice magic, she teaches at a school for children gifted with magical abilities.

She sports Deveraux's trademark long hair, even as a child; her white hair is mixed with hues of blue near the tips. Her feline ears are smaller and harder to notice in her fluffy hair, but her tail matches, a pale tip at the end. Her eyes are blue, but with an interesting addition - her iris features pink in the design of a teardrop cross, against the blue. Inaria's favorite toy is a stuffed unicorn. She and Ivy play friendly with each other, and when Isaac is unhappy she tries to stay by him, too. Inaria keeps to herself most of the time, unless she's approached. When she's upset she cries are silent, and difficult for non-enhanced hearing to catch.</div></div><br><div align="center">(http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/9040/isaacla.png)<br><br><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong><span style="font-family: Brush Script MT;" class="bbc_font">Isaac Cílar Rolodel Dixon</span></strong></span></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">The baby of the three, and it's obvious because he's a bit smaller than the other two. Isaac is shy, and tends to cry when there are new people about. He's the one who contests the most about Aislin's absence. His cries are loud, despite his silence in any other situation. He wants to be held nearly all of the time, and hates being left unattended. Sometimes he's quelled if Inaria is playing with him or lying next to him, but other times that simply isn't enough. He doesn't like pacifiers and instead would rather chew on his favorite toy: a ring of plastic keys that have jingly bells on the inside. Shaking them keeps him distracted and happy for as long as you keep it up.</div></div></div></div>

She decided quite early that she should have been born a woman, and wants to be one; especially since she was naturally scrawny and lacking in musculature. Unfortunately, her sex is something that her abilities can't shift - an odd case, and a defect that causes her extreme internal anguish. At any given moment, she is a futanari at best. Because she feels a woman on the inside, she sees her attraction to men as natural.

She was also a founding member.<br><br>She's a witch, and her pattern of availability varies depending on her coven's activity. She also works part time at a bakery to keep herself grounded in human life. Saki has experienced being so deep within the coven that she has no attachments outside of it, and it's a mode of life that she doesn't prefer if she can help it.<br>{147 - Switch}</div></div><br><br><div align="center"> To see Simon's PV, click here (http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c5/velvetkitsune/4bb3fc3bff74dcb11e45529.jpg)!<br><span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size"><span style="font-family: Bradley Hand ITC;" class="bbc_font"><strong>Simon Ire</strong></span></span></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">The cute mascot of the group, Simon is a tora neko with a tiger's form. He tends not to speak, and communicates via sign languages, which he knows a few versions of. In bed, however, he's loud and vocal. He is definitely submissive, and enjoys being a sexual slave among other tasks. <br><br>His history is rather strange - Simon and a few of his kin were thrown to earth during the shift. Unfortunately, he doesn't speak very much about life before what is sometimes called the 'Great Calamity', but he's assimilated quite well.<br><br>He and Brooke share a friendly rivalry in being circle "cutie". He is capable of being violent, but only when ordered, and is one of the circle founders. Simon is quite famously known for frequently carrying small cuffs on his person, and Antoine frequently jokes about his tendency to use and sport anal beads during the day. He's indulged in it for long periods of time, and at times he feels uncomfortable when not being "filled".<br><br>It seems that he's the most mysterious of the bunch. Simon, although cute, is quite mature and at grips with his personal preferences despite how others see them.<br>{340 - Sub}</div></div></div></div>
