Introduction
Welcome to the town of New Brook, New Jersey. It's quite an isolated town, surrounded by miles and miles of forest. The nearest city is a decent two hour drive, but New Brook thrives nonetheless. To a visitor, it seems like any other town- except that the friendliness that seems to prevail in other towns like New Brook isn't there. The town seems almost cold. Sure, you see elderly gentlemen sitting on benches and discussing the weather, and groups of teenagers discussing the latest singles. But when a certain person walks past, silence will fall and icy stares will be exchanged.
Those who have lived in New Brook for a while know why. There are two sides to this town. The normal, everyday citizens... And the demon hunters.
Demon hunters seem to be drawn to this small town. They claim that the forest is where their prey thrives, but nobody in New Brook has ever had any experiences with anything of that sort. And besides, even if there is anything inhuman in the forest, it has never attacked the town. They worry that the demon hunters will aggravate the creatures and turn their fury on the whole town.
The demon hunters are annoyed at the regular citizen's stubbornness and ignorance. They regularly deal with these demons, and the only reason that the town has never been attacked is because there has always been a hunter presence in the town, keeping them safe. Despite the fact that the other citizens annoy them so much, they continue to defend the town.
However, a new creature is about to set it's sights on the town. Raptures, or half-human, half-demonic beings, are soon to attack the town. They wish to destroy the demon hunters, and are willing to tear the town to pieces and kill everyone in it if it means that the demon hunters will be destroyed.
The Raptures present a threat that will force the demon hunters and regular citizens to co-operate- for the good of their town and their lives. But secrets lie buried, ones that may emerge through the conflict...

Rules
No GM or PP. The Hunters are still mostly human, just faster and more agile.
If you want your character to develop a power- it must be reasonable.
Violence and romance are both allowed and encouraged, as long as it is kept within the RPG rules. No cybering, even in PMs.
Keep autohitting to a minimum, but I ask that both sides are reasonable. For example, if my character jumps yours, your character probably wouldn't have time to get out of the way.
Reservations go in the OOC, please. First come, first served basis.
If you want to change a FC, I ask that you have a decent reason to. Not just "I don't like them" or "I prefer these". Perhaps if you have an idea for a character but none of the given FC's seem to suit it.
If you want to change the backstory I give you, then just PM me with one you'd prefer and I'll change it if it's suitable. Just make sure that you have the spot already reserved.
Make your characters interesting. Allow for interesting relations.
To show you've read all of these rules, please say if you'd like me to set up a relations thread when we have enough characters when you are reserving your character.

Demon Hunters
Demon Hunters aren't exactly human. They are faster and more agile than your typical human. Some are stronger, but that varies from Hunter to Hunter. Some have been told to have further abilities, such as control of the elements or mind control. However, that hasn't been seen for generations, ever since the Hunters were last under an extreme threat... The Hunter gene is always dominant. If a Hunter and a human have children together, the child has a 90% chance of being a Hunter.
Spencer Williams || 24 || Tracking || FC: Jeremy Davis ||Taken- iCat
His father was one of the leaders of the Hunters. He was trained to be a hunter from a young age, and it is all he has ever known. His father was killed in front of him at 16. He is respected as the one of the longest currently standing members of the group.
Name: || Age: || Developing a power: || FC: Tay Jardine || Reserved- BlueWind_22
She didn't know that her family was Hunters until they moved to New Brook to start fighting. She's still relatively new to the whole thing, and is a little unsure of herself when it comes to fighting the monsters. However, she's glad that the others have completely accepted her into the group despite that.
Name: || Age: || Developing a power: || FC: Oli Sykes || Reserved-GreenGentleman
His family never wanted anything to do with hunting. He never really got along with his family, and he ended up moving to New Brook to defend his town. His grandmother had been a Hunter, and she was the only member of his family he was close to. She died a few months after he arrived, but he stayed in the town.
Name: || Age: || Developing a power: || FC: Kristen Stewart || Reserved-xRoo
She was born and raised in New Brook. She holds a little bit of a grudge against FC: Jeremy Davis as she isn't respected anywhere near as much as he is. Even though she joined a few years after him, she thinks that most of his respect was earned just because his father was so important.
Name: || Age: || Developing a power: || FC: Dan Flint || Reserved- Miss Nomer
He's regarded as one of the most dangerous Hunters. He's reckless and fights like he has a personal grudge against every demon he meets. He refuses to say why he fights with such an intensity. His family fostered a human girl, FC: Hayley Williams, one of the only people he is close to.
Name: || Age: || Developing a power: || FC: Jennifer Lawrence || Reserved- SkyLily
She has wanted to leave New Brook for a little while, but every time she goes to leave, something comes up with the Hunters, and she can't bring herself to abandon them when they need her. She's hoping that once this over, she can leave for once and for all.
Humans:
There is nothing particularly remarkable about the humans. They are just... Human. However, they do have a particular skill that will be useful in the fight... If it comes to it, of course. They might be intelligent, unusually fast, or even just intuitive. They are just as important as the Hunters in this fight.
Name: || Age: || FC: Hayley Williams || Reserved- iCat
She lost her family when she was younger and spent years in foster care. FC: Dan Flint's family fostered her when she was sixteen, and she's been with them ever since. She's friendly with most of the Hunters. She's worried about what's going to happen and that she's going to lose the only people who care about her.
Name: || Age: || FC: Alex Gaskarth || OPEN
He can't see why most of the townspeople don't get along with the Hunters. He's met a few of them and thinks that they're decent enough people. He's not sure if he believes the stories about the demons or not, but he would be willing to work with them if it came to it.
Name: || Age: || FC: Emmy Rossum || Reserved- Miss Nomer
She has no time for the Hunters. She thinks that they endanger the whole town. She does believe in the demons, as she's seen giant wolves almost as big as bears in the forest, but she believes that they won't try and attack the town.
Name: || Age: || FC: Brendon Urie || OPEN
His grandfather was killed by a Hunter in a dispute almost fifty years ago, and his entire family has had a grudge against them ever since. He is nothing new- he thinks that the Hunters are liars and that the town would be better off without them.
Name: || Age: || FC: Lights Poxleitner || Reserved-mermaidlegend
She's new to the town, and has been launched into this whole drama by her boyfriend, FC: Josh Ramsay. (Can be changed if user wishes- just let me know at any stage) She's overwhelmed by the whole thing and doesn't know what to think.
Name: || Age: || FC: Josh Ramsay || OPEN
He is fascinated by the history of the Hunters and the townspeople. He doesn't have a "side" as such, but prefers to study their relations and see how their relations have affected the town throughout the years.

Re: Decode
I don't think this is going to go ahead, guys. I really like this idea, though, so I'm thinking of restarting it at a later time.
However, I do need characters in my new roleplay, Stranger In A Strange Land, so you might consider joining that? Thanks!

Re: Decode
*weakly raises hand* I am... I'm sorry my guy is taking so long to be finished, I've been pretty sick.
Re: Decode
Sorry for taking so long on my character but she is finally finished. Sorry about some of the choppiness but I didn't exactly have the time to triple check my work. I will fix soon...
Re: Decode
Hello, May I reserve Lights Poxleitner?
I would love the idea of having a relationship thread it is definitely a great idea :)

Re: Decode
Hello icat! It's a shame the other roleplay didn't continue, I was enjoying it.
May I reserve the FC Kristen Stewart?
And I think a relationship thread isn't a very good idea. Honestly, only because it defeats the purpose of readers finding out through the story, which I quite enjoy. But that is just my opinion. <3

Greetings. May I reserve FC: Tay Jardine, please?
Relationship threads - I agree with GreenGentleman on that.

Re: Decode
Hello! May I please reserve fc: Dan Flint & Fc: Emmy Rossum [For the second time in a row ^_^]
I've always been a fan of relationships sheets- you have to read a lot more lightly without them. It's easier to know where your characters stand with them.

Re: Decode
Could I steal FC: Oliver Sykes?
I think relationship threads are a good idea, providing people actually fill them out and don't just post a blank one and never come back to it.
