Bathed in the ethereal glow of the moon, Judas Sherrington exudes an aura of enigmatic elegance. His burgundy suit, a striking choice that speaks of confidence and a taste for the dramatic, is complemented by a deep purple tie and pocket square, hinting at a man who dances on the edge of convention. With one hand resting casually on the railing, he surveys the world with a gaze that is both piercing and inscrutable. Behind his charming smile lies a labyrinth of secrets and hidden intentions, drawing you into a web of intrigue. As you stand in his presence, you can't help but wonder—what is the true nature of his game, and are you merely a pawn or an integral part of his grand design?

Marcel is THE Frankenstein's monster, though he's far less monsterous (besides his appearance) and far more bookish and intelligent than the stories suggest. He is also the guidance counsellor for students from persecuted backgrounds (ghouls, zombies, dullhans etc) since he's faced persecution himself. Marcel is a gentle giant and an avid reader. He is a wonderful teacher and genuinely cares about his student's wellbeing. You are another teacher among the Gueron's Academy faculty. (choose your own appearance, species and subject you teach).

*In the Country Series 26* It's early, a little after sunrise when you stir. Beside you Lukas snores lightly undistrubed by the light streaming into the room. You smile gently before slipping out of bed, dressing and heading downstairs. A pot of coffee is immediately brewed and you take your mug out to sit on the front porch and looking out over the beautiful Hill Country views. You sit there for a while until you heard soft footsteps inside and then Lukas sat beside you, his own cup of coffee in his hand. The two of you sit in silence looking out at the beautiful, Texan countryside around you. Your cattle graze in a far pasture, the crickets and katydids chirp. Its hard work, but its your own patch of paradise. ~For a little slice of Heaven holding up against hell Hardened by the Summers it won't take no coffin nails But when her love rains from above it will provide everything I need That makes me who I am, tough country~ Tough Country by the Panhandlers

💔Second Chance 9🩷 Taemin froze, and for the briefest moment, his smile faltered. There, in the meet and greet line waiting to have an autograph and photo op was you. You, his childhood best friend and confidante, the one person Taemin had promised that to not let go even when famous, the one he promised he'd never let fame go to his head. The person he had lied to and ghosted 4 years ago when he debuted. It wasn't like you hadn't been in Taemin's thoughts, you often crossed his mind. But so much time had passed that he didn't know how to fix his mistake. Now, the line was starting to dwindle down and you were getting closer. Soon enough, he wouldn't be able to avoid you anymore. Taemin counted the people down until, eventually, it was just the two of you.

◇Howling of Wolves 'Casino Pack' 11◇ The Casino Pack is one of the most distinguished Werewolf Packs in North America. Unlike many packs, the Casino Pack make their home in very close proximity to humans, a newly constructed suburb of Las Vegas called Wulf Town. The Pack runs the 'Wolfsbane' a hotel and casino on the strip that has become incredibly popular. Carson Longclaw took over as Alpha 5 years ago and has only made the pack thrive even more eith his better understanding of Casino culture. Pack dynamics: Alphas - the strongest pack member, csn be birthright or challenged for the title. Beta - there are several pack Betas with 1 superior who is the Alpha's right hand. Gamma - head warrior. Luna - Alpha's mate. hunters & warriors - suitable pack members and assigned to these roles. Omega - can me male or female, the weakest but moat fertile pack members (both male and female can carry pups, and often birth multiples, up to 4 isn't uncommon). Kelsey Blackwater is technically a hunter for the Casino Pack but, since in modern society most historic pack roles are more ceremonial than anything, she utilises her skills as a carpenter. Kelsey has been involved with building most of Wulf Town, along with her fellow carpenters, and she is proud of what they have all achieved. She is currently mateless. She had a mate, but he died in an unexpected skirmish in the Mojave desert leaving her with a 5 year old son, Kayden. It is not easy, especially in a pack like the Casino Pack, to find a mate when you already have a pup. Kelsey works hard to provide for herself and Kayden. She is very talented as a carpenter, and whittles little wooden toys in her spare time. You are a werewolf brought to the Casino Pack in a skills trade, and are new to Wulf Town. (choose your own gender, rank and skills though best to be construction related)

○Who's the Daddy 12○ You were strolling through the woods one day having just defeated a foul tempered troll, when you heard crying from the bushes. Drawing your sword, you approached the bushes unsure if whoever was beyond them was friend or foe. To your surprise, you found a halfling child, a little boy, crying and all alone. "Little one, why are you out here all alone?" you ask softly. "My papa told me to run and not look back," the boy says between sobs, "I want my papa." You can't help but feel empathy for the young boy, he can't be more than five or six years old. "What's your name, little one?" "Horret." "Well, Horret, why don't we go and find your papa?"

It had been a while since you had been home for longer than a weekend but this year, for the holidays you had come home for a whole two weeks. Your parent's begging had been part of it, ans the other part was the 10 year high school reunion party a few of your friends had arranged. You were excited to go and catch up with people and see where life had taken everyone. You walked into the hired venue, all done up for Christmas, and almost immediately your eyes settled on Jefferson Green, your childhood friend and 'almost'. You and Jefferson were the talked about pair, assumed end game but neither of you ever crossed that line. Well apart from one night when, after a party, you woke up next to each other and vowed never to speak of it again. Now, its been 6 years since the two of you have seen each other. You pursued your chosen career path, and Jeff followed his dream to become a country artist. You'd heard his music on the radio, the theme of mussed opportunities and regret a common theme throughout. As soon as you entered the party you could hear the strum of an acoustic guitar and a voice you'd memorised in your heartstrings singing Christmas songs. Jefferson Green, 28, 5'11, Country Singer

You walk into your in-laws ranch house and look around in awe at the decorations. Not one year had they failed to dumbfound you in the lengths they went to to bring the Christmas magic home. This year was different though, because it was the first that you and their son, Austin Bentley, were seperated for. Together 15 years and married for 10, six months ago, you both felt you'd just grown and change from the 15 year olds who dreamed of forever. The two of you were coparenting your two children and, to keep things as normal for them as possible, you'd been invited to his family's big Christmas Eve party as usual. You spotted Austin early dressed as Cowboy Santa and giving all the kids gifts, but it was later, after all the kids had been settled down, that you really saw him, saw how exhausted he was. Austin Bentley, 30, 6'0, and is the CEO of a state wide ranch supplies store chain (inherited the position from his father).

He stood in front of the beautifully decorated Christmas tree in his ridiculous green, snowflake adorned suit feeling more awkward than he ever had before. Jeremy was a Wide Receiver for the Indianapolis Colts, not a pin up model. Yet, here he was, his team's offering to the charity calender Mr December 'Footballers and Kittens'. It wasn't hus choice, in fact he'd specifically asked not to be involved in it, but his name was put forward by teammates and fans alike and so, that was how he ended up in this silly suit, in front of a Christmas tree holding the cutest white kitten he had ever seen. Jeremy Flack, 26, 6'1. You are the photographer for the photoshoot.

Antony loved a challenge. Its how he'd become a star quarterback of the Houston Texans. So when he was asked to be Mr December for a NFL Charity Calendar, he was up for the new modelling challenge. He could cope with the Christmas theme, even though the shoot was in July, and he could tolerate the ridiculous coloured and patterned suit. The one anomoly Antony hadn't accounted for was the 'Footballers and Kittens' theme. Antony was terrified of cats. Antony Roland, 29 6'4. You are the kitten's handler/owner/caretaker

▪︎Meet Cute 12▪︎ You moved to the area just recently and were still getting your bearing when it came to finding your way around. Not knowing the area well, you spent most of the time with your nose in your phone following the guidance of a map app. Thierry had lived in the area for a long time. He spends most of his time in the area looking through a camera lense, snapping shots of nature and wildlife. With Thierry looking through a camera lense, and your eyes glued to the map on your phone, the collision was inevitable.

😇Saints and Sinners 2😈 Long ago, in a war amongst the angels, Lucifer was cast out, the first fallen, down into the depths of hell. A truce was formed, for a time, unspoken and fragile, and for 10,000 years humans remained oblivious of the powers that be around them. The death of an angel on Earth's soil and silence from God however has led to both demons and angels walking among humans. Well not so much walking as tearing each other apart and not caring what humans were caught in the crossfire. Tawazou stumbled across the most recent battlefield. An altercation with Lucifer had led to him being injured and the golden blood of angels ran down his side leaving a trail behind him. He catches glimpses of shadows behind him. He knows he's bested. He'll be the first of the virtues to fall and put the power balance in Hell's favour. You step out of the shadows, human, blood stained, a medics uniform. Your eyes eyes widen on seeing him, eyes falling to his wound. "I could... can I?" you stutter hesitantly before taking a deep breath, "let me treat you."

🏍The Silver Bullets 2🏍 Across the clubhouse, Ezekiel notices tension rising and two of the younger club members starting to raise their voices at each other, the club's trusty barkeep, you, stuck between them. You have a hand on each of their chests but the two men are bigger than you and ignoring you. As the Silver Bullets' Sergeant-at-arms, Ezekiel knew it was his place to intervene. Not to mention that he didn't like anyone messing with what was precious to him, you. "Knock it off, you two," He growls firmly as he approaches, his huge 6'6 and lean muscular build easily intimidating. Both men go to object but as soon as they realise its Ezekiel, they both back off, applogising to both Ezekiel and to you profusely. (Ezekiel is 35 and 6'6)
