Just a small side note: I'm a little picky about whom I welcome into my threads. Although this was meant to be a one-on-one, we wanted to keep it open to new characters. If you wish to join, please PM the below skeleton to me and I'll take a look.

The Devil's Trap
A city cut off from the rest of the world, who's name was buried with the rest of the history, there. The city has just about everything you could imagine. Many years before, a mishap with the dimensional portals caused the city to constantly morph, meaning you could take a step and end up a mile away. Some dimensional portals still exist, though it's risky to use them.

The city's strongest point is its technological advances. One of the most popular creations is the drug called 'Morph'. This drug allows people to change their appearance for 15 minutes, though it's hard to find and often requires a good sense of anatomy, lest someone forget a lung or vital artery. Although Morph was originally created to replace plastic surgery, it's great for healing wounds.


Rules
We'd prefer somewhat detailed posts and we expect that you use quotations, italics, and punctuation properly.
Grammar and spelling are a plus, but mistakes happen.
No god-moding. God-moding on someone gives them the right to god-mode right back.
No 'perfect' characters. This should be rare, as all profiles must be approved before posting is allowed.
Please don't post without having an accepted profile.
Please don't bump.
Respect is a great thing.
I may add more as time goes~

Charlie Steel said:
Name: Charlie Mychal Steel, formerly known as "the Angel of Death".

Sexual Preference: Believed to be homosexual.

Moral Affinity: Neutral, possibly even neutral good.

Race: Angel.

Focus: Magic.

Element: Air.

Personality: Though Charlie was once a cold, dark-hearted man, something changed, within him, causing him to turn and warp both his appearance and within. Nowadays, he seems lost in thought, most times, and often remains taciturn and keeps to himself, avoiding most contact when at all possible. However, parts of his past still haunt him, meaning he still finds himself wandering into social hubs (like bars) to feel the pull of the souls around him.

Background: Before the 'Big Sleep', Charlie believes he was a very romantic and sweet man. He made sure that whomever he was with, he treated with the utmost respect and took the time to get to know the individual. He was wondrous at remembering things, keeping track of everyone's birthdays, their likes and dislikes, and especially the things that they were good at and enjoyed. He was a scholar, back then, reading up on anything and everything he could get his hands on--medical books, novels, the writing of English critics--because the world fascinated him. He couldn't remember where he had come from, only that he was somewhere new and exciting.

It was all thanks to an acquaintance's few choice words that he snapped and broke apart, becoming part of his old self and dropping what he thought was the Big Sleep. This stranger had denied him his ideals of himself, his theories. He explained to him, briefly, the truth, and that stuck with him, haunting him until it ripped him apart. After his melt down, he released the souls he'd stolen and his wings were returned to him. Knowing the way Wake City worked, he had no choice but to remove his wings. Covered in blood and feathers, he'd traveled out to find the much sought-after Morph.

Nowadays, Charlie spends his time people watching. He sits in front of shops, bars, or even on roof tops, and watches the people play out their lives before him. When he was a monster, he'd find one soul a week that he found particularly interesting. He'd follow them home, lurking in the shadows, studying their every move, noting their every word, devising a plan for himself. A plan for their end. But he's not like that, anymore. He still thinks about his past, every now and then, but he doesn't feel the same about those situations as he used to. When he watches people now, he does it merely out of healthy envy and admiration.


Hobbies: Of course, Charlie enjoys watching people, but he also keeps his old habits of reading and studying, keeping himself updated in the medical field as an old habit. He spends a lot of time in social hubs and roaming the streets. He'd taken up an interest in a wider range of music and animals, finding both relaxing and reminiscent of the ancient legends. He'd taken up writing poetry and short stories, having torn the pages from his old Soul Book that contained the ruined lives he'd taken.

Likes: Charlie enjoys things mechanical and technological. He likes things that make him think and wonder. He is particularly interested with the workings of magic. He enjoys classical music--that from the ancient times--as well as the feeling of velvet and silk, the visual textures of wood and iron, and cool colors, including black. He likes romanticism and often fantasizes about it, believing that he'd never get the change to enjoy another touch (as he now understands was probably never true) like those he'd watch from time to time. He likes the taste of fine whiskey and flavorless cigarettes. He enjoys the pain he causes himself, in whatever form he chooses it to take.

Dislikes: Charlie envies the lives of most others. He doesn't like to wait, or talk about his past. Women frighten him (as he's seen from the outside how they work emotionally) and men make him nervous. He dislikes himself, most of all, and what he once was. Whenever he thinks of his past, he often punishes himself.

Strengths: Charlie does not give up easily. He is very level-headed, always trying to view things from different perspectives. He's very good at understanding the ways of others and his memory is incredible. He has trained himself to see well in the dark and his ears are attuned to the sound of a pin dropping in a crowded hall. His sense of touch is astounding, as well. Because of these things, he has learned to become very stealthy on his feet. He is very agile and flexible. He is a masochist, making him enjoy the pain he receives, and meaning that he's much less likely to give into tortures of most kinds.

Weaknesses: Charlie is stubborn. He refuses to admit that he is wrong and he doesn't know when to give up. Although he is wonderful at seeing other people through their eyes, he has trouble looking in on himself. He has a terrible sense of smell and can barely taste anything, aside from the bitterness of whiskey. He's become somewhat emotional, letting his heart lead him instead of his logic. He is a masochist, making him enjoy the pain he receives, and meaning that he's much less likely to realize just how wounded he is.

Specialties:
Human Anatomy: with his extensive research into the workings of the human body, his anatomy skills are top notch. He knows all of the 'sweet spots', though he hardly ever uses them.
Beastial Empathy: he considers his former self a beast, so much so that he's able to connect with beings of a similar mindset on a personal level. For example, he's able to nearly understand a viscous animal's needs and wants as if he were speaking directly to him, which allows him to befriend such beasts with near ease.


Weapon of Choice: Although Charlie still keeps his scythe in storage as a reminder of what he once was, he will no longer so much as lie a finger on it. Now, he carries with him a simple silver dagger for minor protection purposes.

Appearance: Charlie's eyes are dark silver and often express a deep sadness. His hair is black and shaggy, never shaped. He wears a black hoodie over a t-shirt of the day's chosen color and a pair of worn blue-jeans. He covers his feet with red and white sneakers. Shorter than he used to be--due to the Morph--he's also a bit less muscular. He appears to be approximately twenty-one in age, though he acts more like seventeen or eighteen. It's hard to find him without a cigarette in his mouth or a drink in his hand, or without a smile on his face. When he does part his lips, his teeth are surprisingly straight and white. Over his body are many deep scars, some somewhat fresh wounds. He doesn't care if anyone else sees them.

Height: 5 feet 11 inches.

Weight: About 145lbs.

Name: Sicilia "Rose" Rosehoffen

Sexual Preference: Bisexual (However she only expresses her love of women in private)

Moral Affinity: Neautral Evil

Race: Half-Elf

Focus: Combat

Element: Fire

Personality: She has a strong-willed and agressive personality, always wanting to be at the head of anything important. This typically puts her in danger from friend and foe alike.

Background: She was a normal survivor, living day to day, one ruined building to another, fighting off the other scavengers, human and beast...and sometimes demon alike. She loves the taste of good wine, ever on the lookout for wine cellars and cabnets. When she finds a good bottle, she keeps it and gradually drinks it over her tavels. When she stumbled across villages of survivors, she would trade what she had for her pencils and papers.

Hobbies: She likes to drawl and sometimes paint when the mood takes her. She hasn't been able to paint alot since everything went down the crap drain, but she has scavenged around and usually finds pencils, papers, and if she is lucky, paints and paintbrushes. When she is at a safe camp, andfree, she usally pulls out her pencils from her backpack and draws, making incredable designs in little time.

Likes: Likes to draw and paint, loving the relaxed feeling that flows through her bdy when she is in this blissful state. She loves company, after traveling for herself for endless days and nights, she loves to have someone to talk to.

Dislikes: She dreads being alone, never knowing when if someone would find her dead or alive. SHe hates it when people mess with her drawings or pantings, feeling like they will destroy her one calming outlet.

Strengths: She is strong from hefting her axe all over the place and practising with it regularly. She is strong-willed and used to living by her own rules, never letting small things wear her down.

Weaknesses: Her drawlings are her weakness, if anything were to happen to her lifes work...she would turn insane and kill everything around her. She keeps these on her person at all times unless they would be ruined by were she was going or what she was doing. She can't handle ranged enemies for the most part, her axe being her prefered way to kill.

Specialties:
ArtistShe is able to make near exact portrits of people she hasn't met by just the descriptions that people give.
Melee FavoredShe loves to get stuck in close combat, tearing through her enemies with great sweeps of her axe, chopping enemies to pieces, litterly. This however is also a weakness, as she detests ranged weapons and spits upon their usage, considering them ignoble.


Weapon of Choice: She usually prefers an axe when she has to fight. Any axe will do to quench her need for the heavy weapon but she distinctly prefers axes with two blades.

Appearance: With long black hair down to her middle back, usually tied into a ponytail, this pale skinned 19 year old was of a desent build. With a red bandana around her mouth to keep dust out, black leather knee-high boots, black leather gloves, patchworked leather pants, and a leather vest, she was an intimidating sight. Her eyes were different colors due to her crossed breeding, one was a bright, dazzling sapphire, the other a soft, hypnotic lavender. She often had her axe resting over her shoulder and her bag's staff across her chest.
