Holy High: For Once, Then, Something [OOC - Open!]

[Finsternia]

I suppose. But they are terribly frightening, no? I was terrified of them when I was but a small child, and to this day I still cannot help but shudder when they are mentioned.

Oh, dear. I don't want to contribute to any trauma. Maybe not a rakshasi, then.

There's also the option of Whaitiri, a Maori thunder goddess who just sort of eats people as a hobby. *tilts head* Or aswangs. Or a lamia, perhaps, though those tend to get portrayed as 'seduce first, eat afterwards' and seductive characters just are not my area.

Aswangs? Never thought I would hear a mention of one of my country's mythological creatures here

*shrugs* They're interesting, and it would be equally interesting for me to play a true omnivore... since, well, I barely eat anything myself. XD

Tori, your character is accepted! : D

Welcome back Hecate!

[Serah]

The App

Name: Unobtainium (Also answers to the name of Stone or Unobt. But he'll still answer to most everything as long as he knows it's directed at him.

Mythos: Pagan, mostly made up though.

Powers / Abilities / Domains / Gear: Unobtainium being a god of stone and crystals of various forms can take on a godly version of the natural properties of gems and other stones with relevant properties. He also doesn't have a fixed form and can easily change it should he see it fit.

Age: As old as the first gem, in theory. If you want his physical age, that's going to be somewhat difficult as he can choose to not show age, at all. But let's go with 18 or something. Make him fit into the mold.

Mythical Origin: Originally born when gems and other stones started to be used in pagan rituals, he started achieving sentience when some aspects of said cults extended to the worship of stones and gems.

Personality: His personality can change about as easily as his form. But he is unused to contact, whether through speech or physical. That said, he knows how to speak, feel and think, just not how to properly and decently speak to someone without stepping out of line. He has no notion of social standing being the only one of his kind.
He is however, very knowledgeable over a vast number of things and at the same time very dull witted about other things that he doesn't deem important, such as biology.

Appearance: Like that. Although the princicple of gender is a bit alien to him. The appearance may be subject to change though.

Favorite Subject: Geology

Likes: Interaction and a certain appreciation of cute things.

Dislikes: Looking at the moon tends to stress him out. Non sentient crystalline structures tend to make him feel somewhat sorrowful.

And there we go, shamelessly copy pasting the sentient stone god.

Name: Rena

Mythos: Filipino, with a couple twists and additions

Powers / Abilities / Domains / Gear: Shapeshifting, sort of--during the day she looks like any other woman, but at night she'll shift into a form that is better suited to hunting. Her favorite forms to take for this purpose are canine, porcine, and avian--all large, black, and with glowing red eyes. The bird form is capable of flying low without flapping its wings or making any sound. She can also take a more humanoid form--thin enough to hide itself behind a bamboo post, with backwards feet--often seen crawling a la Saeki Kayako. All of these forms possess long, prehensile tongues. During the night, she also gains superhuman strength, speed, and agility. She can eat absolutely anything, even indigestible or toxic materials, and despite the fact that she can be seen eating almost constantly, she never seems to gain any weight. She's capable of throwing her voice. She also heals quickly from most conventional wounds--the ways to stop her are with garlic, salt and religious artifacts/weapon, a whip made from a stingray's tail, and decapitation.

When it comes to 'gear'... she has four human servants that do her bidding. They are armed with conventional weaponry, for the defense of their mistress--not that she often needs it.

Age: 18

Mythical Origin: She's an aswang. I can't find any real origins for them, except origins for the legend.

Personality:

In all seriousness, though, she's strong-willed and hedonistic. Her biggest source of pleasure is found in eating, even beyond physical passion--though she doesn't mind that at all. Food is at the center of her life--when she's happy, she indulges herself by eating. When she's sad, she comforts herself by eating. Her appetite has no boundaries at all, and she'll eat absolutely anything--though her favorite food is human flesh, and in that her favorite is small children or even those as yet unborn. To that end, she can be completely inconsiderate and even malicious in pursuit of her desires. However, that's not to say that she can't form relationships with others--if they can keep from being eaten long enough.

She's quite a calm person, unshakable in most situations--the thing that upsets her most is being unable to feed her near-endless hunger. She's generally cheerful unless she's denied sustenance, in which case she can become extremely angry and violent. She's also somewhat attached to her four servants, though, due to their different nature, seeing them more like a farmer would see one of his animals--a lesser being, useful, but most likely to be eaten when that usefulness comes to an end.

Appearance:

Favorite Subject: Lunch, of course.

Likes: Food, her four servants, roses, red things in general, human flesh, children, cemeteries, did I mention food?

Dislikes: Stingrays, consecrated objects and ground, garlic, salt, hunger, cremation

Theme Song: How about this one?

[Luminesa]

HEY EVERYBODY!!! IC IS UP!!!

[Charlia]

Yes, I noticed... it's a good thing I finished my aswang. Look up.

Another WIP, figuring out my mythos.

Name: Regina Nightchurch (called Queenie or Queen)

Mythos: Custom (some elements taken from Norse mythos)

Powers / Abilities / Domains / Gear: Grand Wizard of Hrafncoven

They lived in Alfheim, realm of the elves and their life was quite an eventful one. When she wasn't spending time with her mother's coven, she was out training and traveling with her father whose renown was well-known throughout Alfheim. Their manor, Hrafncastle (raven castle)

I think Lailah is pretty much finished, her bio doesn't need to be longer I think. She just needs the likes and dislikes thing and the theme song (her favorite thing is cream filled donuts).

She and Mara need to eat them together sometime. *nods* I'd say Rena should come too, but she'd be more likely to try and eat Mara.

[Nuridia]

Lailah is super protective of young children, Mara I think would be fine for the most part

And I can't find the IC link y'all.

I haven't seen it either but I have listened to the music and it's SO GOOD.

Hmm. I might have to check it out... not big on musicals, though.

Which is weird, because I love music.

I appreciate that you put her weaknesses with her strengths. Also, I dig the dress. Red is my color.

Not gonna lie, I’m tempted to say this should be her theme song (now you listen and tell me this is not fitting): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yBuub4Xe1mw

That is NOT the appearance I thought he would have. I was imagining a golem of some sort.

ALSO HE NEEDS A THEME SONG. Not to worry, however, I came prepared:
