I really liked the child of darkness one, but at the same time i wondered what a full combat would look like, and it kinda escalated from there. If i change my mind is it possible to change my vote later?
 
Oh, I likely your build.

I like my better, but I like your build.

Let's just hope that they don't encounter each other. I have a feeling your girl would try and kill mine.
 
Vote is going to stay open for a little while longer, but lets see what the current tally is.

Edit: Honestly I'm surprised that the plan that's winning is the one that has both the vampires and werewolves hating you.

Made some minor changes to my plan, might want to go over it to see what I added. Mostly Italicized text to try and explain my thoughts on the character better.

Really? I think that after a misunderstanding first encounter where Rose tries to scare Alice and almost gets a knife to the face they would be bff (or at least they would have an understanding about troublesome vampires/wolves that keep trying to get them). Then it would follow a wierd friendship where Rose keeps poking at supernatural danger because of curiosity, and an exasperated Alice tries to keep both of them alive from the random supernatural being they pissed off. Next day it would Alice that endup killing the wrong thing and it would fall to Rose to follow the unseen in order to track down that goddamn phylactery (why the hell are those so common nowadays...) in order to finally put another lich down to the count.

Aaaaand everybody is utterly terrified of them.
 
Shame that my little forked tongue schemer didn't work out, but hey, we've got almost literally a snake person here. So damn pretty, so agile, I won't be surprised if at some point she'll turn into a snake animagus. For ironic reasons, the best reasons. Picture and some descriptions reminds me of Chara, actually

Nah man, she doesn't seem so hardworking to me. And with two Monster Clans after her she'll be self-serving since it means survival.

Edit: She'll also have to be clever enough to avoid being killed/kidnapped/turned or whatever, so her childhood basically forges her to be the perfect Slytherin.

Prologue Part II
  • Threadmarks
    • Prologue Part II​



    Petunia has had to deal with a lot of things over her lifetime, with the reveal of her sister having magic, and the learning of a war going on behind the scenes of a peaceful Britain. But to be trapped within this town, where the sun will no longer rise?

    There has been nothing that has ever been similar to this. It was only a few minutes after Vernon had noticed the lack of a sun that the magicals dropped into town and told everyone that they have trapped them all here. Only those with magic are able to enter or leave, and they have no intention of lifting the spells they have put at the boundaries of the town. That had been two weeks ago now, and it's already causing problems. Many of the residents of Surly worked outside of the town, meaning that people like her wonderful husband are now unable to provide income for their families.

    Not that the wizards care.

    To make matters worse, there is Rose.

    The women put down the plate that she was cleaning to look at the red eyed child, wondering what to do. Sure, before all of this she would hate the child, they were a symbol of abnormality forced into their perfectly normal life. But now that seems almost trivial when compared to the fact that she hasn't seen the sun in two weeks! She did at first want to blame the baby for what happened, but she simply couldn't keep that up. The baby has nothing to do with the loss of the sun, nor did she have any choice in what has happened.

    Then again it's probably do to luck that the baby is still alive...

    Who the hell drops a baby on a doorstep, in the middle of the night, IN NOVEMBER?!

    "If I ever find out who left her here like that, I will slap them."

    Then again, she at least knows who sent the child. The letter dropped off with the child was from on Headmaster Dumbledore, and the gall he had to threaten them into taking in her niece. Telling her how if they don't take the child in that they would likely be tortured to death simply for being related to the child, and that if they don't take Rose in that the protections around them would fall.

    Of course, since the child was just dropped onto their doorstep they didn't even have a choice in the matter. Then again Rose is lucky that her husband is rather perceptive, because if he hadn't seen her before stepping out the door...

    She didn't want to think about that.

    Of course, her niece's arrival came with other news. Petunia didn't get along with her sister, she wouldn't deny that.

    But she didn't hate the women, in fact, she really did come to regret her actions when she lost Lilly the first time. When she watched her sister every summer come back and talk more and more about magic and the world, she realized one summer that her sister wasn't going to come back to the normal world, that she was losing her. But she didn't know how to tell her that she was sorry. She had been so happy when she had seen that Lilly had come to her and Vernon's wedding.

    But she brought that man.

    She didn't understand how her sister could love that man and honestly was quite upset to learn that she had learned that her sister was married and she was not invited to the wedding. Then again, given what she knows about the magical world, she really did question her sisters love for the man. The women hated that man, then one year she wouldn't stop going on about how romantic he was, and how amazing he was.

    Considering that only a couple months earlier she called him a creepy stalker that attacked her best friend, and that twisted world considered that date rape drug they call love potions romantic...

    She couldn't see her sister falling in love with him, and she can't even try to figure out if she's wrong about the whole thing, if he actually changed and she had good reasons to fall for him.

    Now that she's lost her sister.

    Walking over to the red eyed girl, the last memory of her sister. She smiled as she picked up the girl and held her in her arms.

    She won't fail her sister again, not when this is all she has left.


    What happens next
    [ ] The Silver Coven arrives - A vampire clan that causes takes a liking to Rose
    [ ] The Night Outcasts arrives - A vampire clan that simply likes the eternal night
    [ ] The Bloodmoon Pack arrives - A werewolf pack that takes a dislike to Rose
    [ ] The Wild Wolf Pack arrives - A werewolf pack that just likes to stay in the local forest
    [ ] A local businessman rises up - Vernon creates a business for everyone who lost their jobs

    There can be no other choice, of all the options Vernon doing something good and impressive is the most exotic.
     
    [X] A local businessman rises up - Vernon creates a business for everyone who lost their jobs.

    Seems legit.
     
    [X] A local businessman rises up - Vernon creates a business for everyone who lost their jobs.

    I'm confused by the whole "Trapped in the Eternal Night" thing.
     
    It showed up at the end of the first post. It's the main change of this quest, though I have implemented a lot of little things. They will mostly pop up through the prologue.

    I more meant the "Why?" of it.

    Also, in my interest of trying to see this one last, what usually makes you end up dropping the quests you make? Is it something like the lack of any real meat/plot while drudging through the weekly stuff?

    Part that, part me losing insperation. This is actually an idea I thought up about a year ago, and have been kind of adding to it over that time. I'm going to try and push through lack of insperation this time.

    As for why the eternal night thing is happening... No one is quite sure yet.
