Gnosis: Season of Samhain (Open/OOC)

[Shark isle]

Do you mean you want the same cult involved in my character's backstory in your's too?

Well, I wasn't sure about OP but here was the backstory:

The Cult of Solid Snake(tm)'s goal was to obtain immortality, and they found out how to do so, in the form of ghosts living in other people's bodies, and parasiting off of their own spirits. Rinse and repeat until spirit is at desired strength (how my ghost managed to stay "alive" (IE not fade and reincarnate)). However, in order to begin the process, blood sacrifice must be obtained. In the gangster's case, ("Snake Eyes" Johnson), his eyes were removed, in order to create the perfect body/host for their leader. Your character could either be the Chosen One(tm), or yet another baby offered up to continue the Solid Snake Cult(tm)'s legacy.

Probably give your character some heads up on trouble coming and occasionally take control over his body.

Yeah, would you mind if some artifact was used so that way my character could see dead people/ghosts/those of the paranormal persuasion?

Well my character's parent's cult is just dedicated to worshipping a unknown snake god. This devotion has led to many human sacrifices. Oddly enough, snakes aren't scared of the cultists.

Would a private eye with Drinking issues be acceptable.

Yes. But do add more than just them being an alcoholic.

Dark Secrets: Occult experience

Bio: David was born in the Town of Sault Ste. Marie in the Upper Paninsula. While he loved his first few years in a small home his parents eventually moved out to a Cabin deep in the forests southeast of the town. It was there that his parents grew more into the occult. He noticed as a young child many strange occurances from the feeling of "invisible people" walking around the cabin, to weird noises and footprints outside, however he never thought much of it outside of the occasional sleepless night. It was when his parents started to take on noticeable personality and in some cases physical changes he started to worry.

His mothers hair slowly started turning a deep gray as her flaxen hair started to fade. His father started to get deep wrinkles in his otherwise youthful face. He could also more predominantly hear the sounds of two or three talking entities in hushed tones whenever he was at the house and at various times. This would get worse when his parents, dressed in all black would leave into the forests.

As his parents started to decline in both health and sanity they started looking at David with unclear intent, they had for years been a part of an occult society which aimed at seeking immortality. His parents noticed he had a keen eye for noticing much of the supernatural experiences that plagued much of the cabin. They eventually grew to think he was a conduit between the spiritual realm and earth. When he was 7 years old his parents took him out to the field where they met up with other occultist near their home. He was quickly tied down and placed in the center of a ritual circle, the attempt being to use him as a portal to the spiritual realm and to summon a demon to hopefully fulfill their wishes. The fear induced by this event caused David to pass out, he awoke presumably a few days later to see nothing but the empty robes of the occultist that had tried to use him in their ritual.

The half naked David ran through the forests of the upper peninsula for hours until he hit highway 221 where condemned citizens called the cops. He was taken into their custody for awhile while they identified him and investigated his old house. His closest family was his aunt Miriam who was the first to notice that one of his light icy blue eyes had changed to a deep brown, she didn't worry about it to much and never got it checked out assuming it to be nothing serious.

Miriam eventually gained custody of David and brought him down to Detroit with her to live. He has lived a mostly average life, trying to forget the events of his life while in the cabin and the disappearance of his parents. He eventually finished his GED and got a job as a security guard for a security contracting company. He's lived a lonely but otherwise average life, however lately he's noticed strange things going on. When he walks home from work he can typically see strange white figures in the ally ways. He's also noticed that he move small objects simply by looking at them. While nothing significant in his eyes it has brought s curiosity upon him and he's started to read into much of the occult things his parents once participated in.

I'm currently working on an app for a forensic scientist, but I won't be able to finish it until tomorrow.

I telegrammed the first post.

[Shark isle]

Can you tell me some of the edits you made to the snake cult?

[Naval Monte]

Can you tell me some of the edits you made to the snake cult?

I won't say it, no one likes spoilers. Also Insaeldor is now the third co-op and I will make a change to the rules due to this one having problems with people forgetting that it exists. You guys now have the chances of gaining supernatural powers. But you can only have one and they have to be minor. Co-ops and myself can have either multiple or one major power. However nothing is free in this world so your powers must come at a price.

Also if I accepted your character as a normal person you can not edit in sudden supernatural powers, you will have to make a new character with those powers.

Seems to have a craving of attention and class, on the flip side her optimism built her up to be a role model for the musically talented.

But only three weeks into school she witnessed a ritual of sorts, the only thing she remembers from the event was a pale thing touching her throat. After that she had to learn sign language and was home-schooled for most of her life, during this time she learned her two gifts, her editing and programming. At the age of 16 she discovered dubstep and learned how to be a DJ, soon her passion for music came back full force and her two tech savvy parents helped her build her first laptop. After that she did a small show in the local park dressed in her father's work suit and fedora, along with a unicorn mask her mom made. Soon after that her show blown up on the internet and fans clamored for a name, at 18 she moved to Detroit since the houses were so unbelievably cheap. She didn't stay long before she went on tour through the Midwest and West Coast. After the tour she came back to her house and made her 2 albums "Dreams of the Underground" and "Kritikal Mass!" each bringing in about 10,000$ each.

Age: 26
DoB: April 13, 1990
Skills and Abilities:

• The mighty power of Detective Mode deduction

Physical description: Average height and a slim physique, with fair skin, short brown hair, and green eyes. He usually wears a lapelled coat of a cool or dark color, usually black or dark blue, over a neutral colored button-dirt, usually gray. He sometimes wears a tie or bowtie, and wears black dress shoes.
Psychological assessment: Michael may be intelligent, but he is a bit clumsy. Combine this with an acute case of social awkwardness, and you have someone who often ends up tripping over his own words. Despite that, he tries to be kind and helpful to anyone he meets. He was a strong sense of morals and justice; after all, that is why he became a forensic scientist. And when it comes to his job, he doesn't know any other way of doing than to dive into it head first.
Personal relationship:
Marisa Finch - His mother.
Jay Finch - His late father.
Abigail Marlow - His aunt and adoptive mother.
John Marlow - His adoptive father.
Thomas Marlow - Michael's cousin, adoptive brother, and good friend, as well an officer in the DPD.
Anthony Casteliano - Michael's boss, basically, the guy who sends him on the majority of his cases.
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Items and equipment:

• CSI Equipment
• Forensics Equipment (At lab at DPD)
• Flashlight
• Notepad w/ two pens
• Smith and Wesson M&P

Dark Secrets:
Curse - Michael doesn't know what, but his father did something that resulted in him being killed in the most bizarre and brutal fashion. He fears that me may share a similar fate.

Forbidden Knowledge - Captain Casteliano has been sending Michael to investigate some bizarre crime scenes lately. Whatever happened, it isn't natural.

Insanity - Whatever resulted his father's death left his mother insane. Michael had to go through some therapy himself, and might be a bit obsessed with solving his father's murder, especially after recent events.

Victim of Crime - At the age of eight, his father was murdered.

Bio: You can say that Michael's early childhood was normal, living in an upper-class family in the northwestern suburbs of Detroit. His father was a wealthy man, having worked his way to the top of a wealthy corporation. Michael doesn't remember what exact company it was, but it was big, and his father started at the very bottom of the corporate latter and miraculously made his way to the CEO position. Little did he know that his father's success was no miracle, and that his success would come at a price.

Michael was eight years old when it happened. He stepped off the school bus to find his house surrounded in yellow tape. Not a single officer or investigator noticed the child sprinting into his home, and couldn't stop him before he caught a glimpse of the horrendous scene. His father was murdered, in a way that was both terrible and unable to comprehend. On the wall was his father, his limbs extended, his skin pale, and blood trailing out of his eyes, ears, and mouth. There was blood everywhere. On the floor in front of him was some sort of symbol, the one clue as to the true nature of the event. Sitting in the corner was his mother, craddling her legs with her eyes wide before she was taken away to a mental hospital. The mere glimpse of the scene was enough to land Michael in therapy for the next year.

Instead of an orphanage, Michael was fortunate to be taken into the care of his aunt, Rebecca. Nonetheless, the event left him a quiet husk who spoke to no one, and no one wanted to speak to him. Of course, he improved over the years, but for those first few the only person that he talked to was his adoptive brother, Tommy. He always said that he wanted to become a police officer, but despite his childish dreams, he would in fact become one when he green up. It was Tommy that reinforced Michael's sense of justice, which was born out of his goal to find out what happened to his father.

The years went on. Michael finished grade school, then college, then became a forensic scientist. At first, he was considering joining Tommy on the police force, but because he had more brains than brawn, and certainly not enough courage, he decided that forensics was the more optimal path to choose. It would be at the DPD that he would find the second person that he would open up to: Anthony Casteliano, the captain that he was assigned to. He was only able to relate to the stoic police officer after learning about the murder surrounding his family, where he felt that he was able to share about the one surrounding his own.

The cases that Captain Casteliano sent him to investigate started off as being basic: thefts, muggings, and murders in the inner city. Then, Michael was sent to investigate more... strange cases, that gave off the same feeling of the unnatural that his father's murder gave him. Then, there was the one case that started everything. A murder, like most of his cases, but the scene of the crime was exactly like that of his father. Not only that, but there were actually a string of murders going even further back than his father's that were all the same. Now, Michael found himself being thrusted into the world of the supernatural.

Looks pretty good, I'll let Naval be the final judge but I like the idea of yours and Libertas's characters working together on the onset of the RP.

[Nea Videssos]

Surprised I didn't notice this earlier.

[Mundeo]

Could one become a cultist or a gang/mafia member? I'd like to do some shizzle.

Although I'm not a Co-op, I'd guess so, since one of the secrets; Family Secret; involves being a part of a cult/gang, or having ties so a supernatural entity.

Id say being a gang member or a mafia member who stumbles into the occult would be the best way to go through with this idea.

[The United Equstrian Front]

Yeah seems cool. All I'm waiting for is the IC and more Inte- I mean Apps.

[Insaeldor]

I think with nine character we should have enough characters to start the IC.

Psychological assessment:(personality, mental disorders, quirks, motivations.) Bipolar disorder. Marina is odd, because of this getting friends or any sort of relationship is difficult.

Bio: Marina grew up in Detroit with her loving parents. However one day, everything changed. Marina's parents, when she was 5, found their daughter was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Away they went, her parents just abandoned her in a dark alleyway somewhere in downtown Detroit, leaving her to whatever fate she would face. She then was commonly sexually abused, beaten, forced to perform rituals and robbed by criminal passersbys, messing up her crazy mind up worse than before.

All of this was commonplace, she was used to it, she even liked it most of the times, others her realistic side coming in, but usually fading away before she could do anything to save whatever bit of innocence she still had in herself. Once she was taken away by a strange-looking man and imprisoned, never seeing the light for 8 years. Now she was 16 and just escaped following the arrest of her kidnapper by police. They took her in for interrogation, but she murdered two police officers and escaped before reinforcements could arrive. She escaped to the place where she was since age 5, and was kidnapped once more in her sleep. But this time she was taken somewhere else, somewhere horrible, some place like hell.
