Skylar just looked around the cafe, taking note of the people in there. She stopped seeing the human girl and Jack talking. Sure mostly no one knew her but she made it a point to know the others. Their conversation she couldn't hear but she still didn't like it, for the girl's safety. Skylar started to debate walking over there just to ruin his game or not.

Envy nodded. "I'm alright, thank you for worr about me. But did you happen to hear someone laugh a bit before you spoke? There is someone out here."<br /> <br /> Envy turned his head in different directions, trying to find the source of where the sound came from. "I don't like spies, so you better not be trying to hide from me." He crossed his arms, and his tail bristled behind him. He frowned, something which was unusual to be seen. And he waited for a few seconds, and some more, and some more, and still couldn't pick up any more sounds. "well, I guess that is it then. Maybe it dropped dead. Well, how was your day, young sir?"

"Just flirting. I'm Jack by the way. So then, what brings you to the <i>projects</i> then? You don't look like a freak, in fact you look like a normal human." Jack said. It was hard to not pull one of his normal charming smiles, but he managed. Had he done so the game would be up in moments. In fact he would have to play this one rather carefully sense she was aware there were a lot of non-humans and therefore more likely to notice his less than human characteristics.<br /> <br /> --------<br /> <br /> "Are you alright?" Xian asked the youth that had fallen. He wasn't overly concerned about the boy, anyone fool enough to be careless on the roof deserved to slip up in his book. Still, he had to at least show a small bit of concern. <br /> <br /> His lips formed a small frown at catching the mocking voice. It wasn't hard to figure out who it was, after all any of the creatures that had been forced here had extensive paper work. Even though he was considered more of a minor annoyance, it was still something Xian didn't particularly care to involve himself in.

Skylar just sighed heading out into the night. She was almost home when she felt it just about to rain, ducking into the cafe to avoid a scene in the streets.<br /> <br /> Walking over to an empty table she mumbled to herself, "Should of just stayed at the book store." She just ordered a tea and sat down to wait out the rain that had started to fall.

09-12-2011 at 10:07 AM

Reina looked up at her unexpected guest. While she wanted to get excited that he was approaching her and he was handsome, she decided not to let herself get too deeply into that idea. After all, perhaps he was only approaching her for other reasons. She didn't know. She had to question <i> what is he?</i><br /> <br /> Though, she didn't ask it out loud. Not yet, anyway.<br /> <br /> "Getting a drink," she said, tapping her mug. "You want a drink? Or are you just flirting with people?" She grinned.<br /> <br /> -------------------------<br /> <br /> Aiden noticed something bounding along the top of roofs and watched it in his boredom. When it fell, though, he couldn't help but to laugh. <br /> <br /> "Balance much?" He asked. He was across the street from where he had fallen, but considering how late it was it was rather quiet out and didn't require an immense amount of work on his part to make himself heard.

09-12-2011 at 9:48 AM

Envy walked on the roofs of some small stores, his feet barely making a sound on the shingles below. He wasn't precisely looking for anything, but it was good to take a good late night stroll now and then. And, should the occassion arise, he could always jump down and question any troublemakers. He smiled at the idea of finding some humans, and started to skip along. At one point, a loose shingle tripped him and he landed face first on the roof of the cafe. "Ow."<br /> <br /> He sat up and brushed off his tail. "I hope no one saw that, or heard it."

09-12-2011 at 12:17 AM

Jack's eyes tracked her as soon as she walked into the cafe. He stood up and leisurely made his way over to sit at her table after a bit. She looked like she was human, and therefore was interesting to him. He hated what he was forced to survive off of, but here an opportunity had presented itself. It was one he fully intend to look into exploiting, even if it might be bending the rules slightly. <i>If no one catches you, it's not against the rules.</i><br /> <br /> "So then, what is a pretty lady like yourself doing out alone after dark?" He asked in a smooth voice.<br /> <br /> ------------------------<br /> <br /> Xian walked down the near empty street. On the surface he simply appeared to be out for an evening stroll. In truth, however, he was patrolling for any misbehavior. The time when most humans retreated to their homes and the supernatural came out was always tense. While some did want this project to work, there were many who were here against their will, and would take any excuse to cause trouble.<br /> <br /> Though, he didn't mind dealing with any issues that might arise, he did hope that there would be no need. After all, the Guardians' identities were unknown to everyone so that they might be more effective, and Xian wanted to keep that for as long as possible.

Skylar sighed looking out across the small book store she worked in. Really she owned this small store for something to occupy her time. She could tell that it would rain soon and just hoped that she didn't have to walk out in it. Looking out the glass she began to close up the shop, well knowing that no one else would come into it tonight. She didn't hate the night, she actually loved to swim with the moonlight reflecting in the water.

09-11-2011 at 7:50 PM

It was late in the evening when Reina finally realized she shouldn't sit outside anymore. While it was supposedly safe to do so she didn't have the feeling of security she did when she was inside, around other people or whatever they were. At least indoors there were Guardians, though. And at least there were lights and she could analyze the situation better. For whatever reason, though, once it started to get dark out she was afraid.<br /> <br /> She kept near her apartment so she wouldn't have far to walk in the dark. Despite the fact that Guardians would happily escort she was too prideful to ask of such services. <br /> <br /> She found herself in her favorite Cafe. She stopped there every night, more just to socialize than anything, but she readily ordered a hot chocolate and sat down at a table in the corner - the best seat in the house as far as she was concerned. It gave a perfect view of the entire place. She absently pulled a book out of her bag and flopped it down in front of her on the table, though her eyes were scanning the cafe, watching people and creatures come and go, mingle and sit silently. <br /> <br /> ------------------------<br /> <br /> Aiden perched himself on a fence surrounding a store that was already closed for the night. As equal as things were supposed to be people went home before it got dark out - all the businesses, aside from various food places, seemed to close at sunset. It was annoying for him since he enjoyed night life more. Of course, so did every other creature of his type and other types, it seemed anyway. They grew up knowing the night life, trying to avoid contact with humans as much as possible. Now that he was thrown into this place, though, he realized humans changed their ways and feared contact. <br /> <br /> "So much for proving we can coexist," he muttered under his breath. While they were at not getting along, he figured he could wait for an unsuspecting human to pounce on. One of his favorite games was to shift and wait for humans to walk by. He knew their scent well, they smelled of their own unique flavor. They were all so innocent and fragile and easily frightened. It was hilarious to him.<br /> <br /> Of course he scanned the area. It was rather remote so Guardians weren't hovering around it. He hated the Guardians, especially those of his own species. Who were they to look for coexistence? Did they really believe it was possible? The second news came of supernatural creatures humans would surely kill them all. He was certain of that. Even if this small community had a chance, the real world didn't. He figured he'd try his best to make sure no one would think such coexistence was possible, that way they wouldn't be doomed to be destroyed later.

Name: Envy<br /> <br /> Age: Unknown age, but he looks to be in his late teens<br /> <br /> Species: Chimera, half human and half wolf<br /> <br /> Guardian (Y/N): Yes<br /> <br /> Special Abilities(Only ONE allowed): He can turn into halfway into a wolf<br /> Description: Envy is of average height with long brown hair in a ponytail reaching his waist, a blue and yellow eye, and is lean yet fairly muscular. <br /> <br /> Clothing Preference (this can help you avoid having to describe clothes all the time): He wears a green jacket that covers his chest and half of one arm. His midriff is exposed. He wears leather pants that end in ankle boots. His tail is often held high behind him.<br /> <br /> Personality: A little over confident at times, he can warm up to those he finds trustworthy. He is extremely loyal and loves receiving treats after a job well done (said treats are actually raw steaks). When he transforms, he can become more arrogant and ruthless.<br /> <br /> Likes: Raw meat, being pet, sneaking on unwary humans, taking a walk during the night<br /> <br /> Dislikes: liars, untrustworthy people, humans who aren’t humble.<br /> <br /> History: A chimera with unknown origin, he was first found wandering around the Shadow Valley many years ago. He was tested on originally when he was discovered, but when his strength was evident, he was brought into the ranks of guardian. He uses his transformation skills only when fighting, but it was said that if an unfortunate human ever came across him while he was in mid transform, they would be blind forever. This of course is just a fake tale told to scare people. <br />

<b>Name:</b> Jack Cromwell<br /> <b>Age:</b> 213<br /> <b>Species:</b> Vampire*<br /> <b>Guardian (Y/N):</b> No<br /> <b>Special Abilities:</b> Can shift into a magpie at will [read: if scared]<br /><b>Description:</b> Jack is of average height with black hair, fair skin and green eyes. About the only tale tale sign of his nature one might see is a glimpse of some fangs as he grins.<br /> <b>Clothing Preference:</b> During the day full protection is a must, long coat, pants hat and sunglasses. However, that is too hot therefore he will avoid it as much as possible. If he has no need to protect himself from getting crispy, a t-shirt and jeans are what he prefers.<br /> <b>Personality:</b> Jack is rather out going and friendly with other people, including complete strangers. However, he will avoid conflict and flee from any fight. His main interest is his own survival and well being, if that is threatened he will leave post haste unless there is some enormous gain to be had.<br /> <b>Likes:</b> Flirting with people in general, mostly in jest or for his own amusement. Also likes to play games, more of the card variety, he can generally be found to have a deck on him.<br /> <b>Dislikes:</b> Conflict, again he will avoid this if at all possible. Jack is also very wary of people knowing his true nature, after all after 200 years or so you learn extreme caution in letting people know you are what is considered a monster which should be exterminated.<br /> <b>History:</b> Jack does not linger on what has been, rather he is more interested in the now. He spent most of his youth in the early Americas frequently changing towns as the need arose. He might have been born in the 1700s, but this doesn't mean he still thinks like they used to, times have changed and he along with them. Staying the same is boring, and more it makes you stick out of the crowd, and Jack would much prefer to blend in. As for why he moved to the valley? Well, its a nice reprieve from worrying that human's might find him out and hunt him down. A sanctuary of sorts, as long as he can keep to the rules...<br /> <br /> *I would like to make a note I do NOT base my vampires on all that hollywood crap. Rather I go back to the original folk lore and build from there. I throw in a dash of common sense as well, so if Jack doesn't work or act like any vampire you have heard of, that is why.<br /> <br /> <hr><br /> <br /> <b>Name:</b> Xian<br /> <b>Age:</b> 24<br /> <b>Species:</b> Kirin <br /> <b>Guardian (Y/N):</b> Yes<br /><b>Special Abilities:</b> Nothing aside from his innate ability to change form [kirin or human].<br /> <b>Description:</b> Xian is leukistic, for those that do not know it is similar to albinism, but is simply a reduction in pigment, not total absence. <br /> <br /> As a Human - He has such light blonde hair is can be said to be white or cream but has deep blue eyes. His skin is pale and will easily sun burn if not properly protected. He also retains the kirin tail in this form, however, he keeps it hidden so it's very unlikely to notice it. This is how he looks most of the time.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqswyqDAvT1qhbsq5o1_500.jpg">As a Kirin</a> - Xian has large sweeping antlers. A thick mane of hair resides on his neck, as well as longer hair on the end of his tail and around the hooves. He is heavily scaled in the front and less so on the back portion of his body, these act as an armor if he needs to fight. He mostly only uses this form if he has need to fight or flee.<br /> <b>Clothing Preference:</b> Xian prefers loose unrestrictive clothing, he is more concerned with the clothing's function than fashion. He will almost always have a jacket or hoodie in an attempt to prevent sunburns, unless it is too hot in which case he would rather seek shade than over heat.<br /> <b>Personality:</b> Xian tends to be rather sharp and to the point. It takes a lot to make friends, he is naturally suspicious of others and likes to keep more of a distance. Once he counts you among his friends though, he can be counted on upon in good times or bad. As far as the law goes he stays impartial, friend or no and cuts no one slack.<br /> <b>Likes:</b> Xian generally prefers the solitude and peace of nature to the company of others. He can be frequently be found in the shade of a tree sketching the scenery. However, he does enjoy spending time around those he calls friend, at least in small groups.<br /> <b>Dislikes:</b> As much as he loves solitude, Xian hates large crowds. Such a situation grates on his nerves as he is the type who likes to be fully aware of what actions others may be doing, which is quite impossible in a large crowd. If forced to be in a large group he is more likely to slink off to a corner than socialize. <br /> <b>History:</b> Xian does not bother with elaborating on his past, instead preferring to wave it off. It is not full of bad memories or past horrors, rather as he would put it, bland and unimportant. Xian volunteered to be a part of the experiment, more in interest of not having to deal with the growing human population than anything. After all, the number of people in the project are not in the billions, its much less stressful.

He's not very careful and is rather quick to make actions. <br /> Likes: Causing trouble, social situations, other supernatural creatures, a good steak dinner, being outside, warm weather<br /> Dislikes: People with no sense of humor, Guardians & most people, being locked up indoors for any purpose<br /> History: Aiden was forcefully put into Shadow Valley after causing trouble in the human world on numerous occasions. It's seen as a sort of punishment for his rugged history, but he's not too caring about being part of a testing process.
