i very recently joined but missed my opportunity to post in here so here goes nothing, hi! this is adonis, greek god of desire, beauty, rebirth, the changing of the seasons, and in this lifetime he's an angel investor (particularly financing small businesses run by women). personality-wise he's a lovable shit, there's really no other way to put it. he doesn't really have a filter, he's vain and always looking for a good time. to his friends he's loyal beyond belief, to his enemies he'll make their existence a living hell. i'm looking for anything we could brainstorm together, extra points for something messy or ridiculous! i adore all sorts of random connections.

evening, everyone! i've been pining for this comm from a distance for a while and finally mustered up some courage to bring someone in. this is ashton, aka the demon asmodeus from a variety of lore but especially ars goetia. he's a prince of hell, very much living the vagabond lifestyle now among mortals for centuries. lust, mischief, and a flair games of chance are a few of the demonic traits he's best known for, the first of which stemming from an unrequited love and heartbreak a millenia ago. in short, demon boy got his heart broken and has since wandered the world spreading the joys and mischief of polyamory. he's been known to mentor paramours into how to win the affections of the objects of their desire, but usually it ends in a hedonistic mess. he coyly likes to insinuate that the french play cyrano de bergerac, about a silver tongued but odd looking poet helping someone woo the woman of both their dreams is loosely based on him, but who really knows? today he operates as a writer and photographer, mostly funded by a string of casinos he "inherited" some time ago.

i'd love friends who openly judge his behavior and lifestyle, friends who embrace it, and anyone who needs a devil on their shoulder so to speak. also, would love something with all the demons about.

evening, all! keeping this short and sweet, much like miss nevaeh here. the belobog to [info]kissandhell's chernobog, nev brings light and goodness everywhere she goes (whether you mere mortals want it or not, dangit). she currently lives and works in the upper west side of manhattan, where she owns sweet lux spa & salon. she's been in new york for a while, at least as long as her dear sister has, so bring me all the neighbor, clientele, friend, frenemy, and any sev-adjacent lines you've got. also, if anyone needs a job, she never ever turns away a resume.

hey! i am working on bringing in this newer werewolf. his name is jordan, or jordy, Collins, a southern boy who unfortunately was scratched by a werewolf when he came to the big city. once he realized what had happened and would continue to happen, he couldn't go back so he started building a life in the city. he's a bartender by trade and works most nights until the full moon. i would love to find someone he pissed off that cursed him with immortality, more werewolves or shifters to learn from, a female werewolf his wolf always seems to find under the full moon, and whatever else kind of connections we can come up with. super excited to get him in and interacting with you all.

hey so let's pretend that i'm not completely time blind and forgot that yesterday was the last day of the month, yeah?

anyway, while i work on this update, this is anna griffiths, the owner and operator of moonlight studios in greenwich village. she's also known as morgan le fay, the high priestess of avalon, the lady of the lake, half-sister of king arthur... you get the idea. her long life has been a gift to her from the goddess, to stand as the guardian of magical tradition in the british isles. she makes frequent trips back to glastonbury in england, but over the course of her long life, she's traveled the world and settled in new york city about a decade ago. she keeps an apartment above her store for when she needs to stay in the city, but her house is up in the hudson valley so that she can have a secluded home with plenty of green space surrounding it.

she's been around for over fifteen hundred years so there's plenty of room for connections. she's also willing and able to perform magic for people, such as keeping sacred artifacts safe, separating the heart from the body, and smaller things like glamor magic, potions, healing, etc. i really love this place and i'm excited to get back into it so throw whatever you like at me!

Hello, everyone! I'm bringing Elijah here, a vampire of many names who dates back to Old Testament times. I will note that he is Jewish and generally rolls his eyes every time someone holds a crucifix up to him. He is weakened by all types of blessed objects, including holy water, but it's got to be a lot of it to do serious damage. That said, he can be out in most sunlight and even stand in direct sunlight for a limited amount of time, but eventually, it will start to burn him. Fire is another way to kill him, decapitation and blood of the dead, too, and of course, an oak wood stake to the heart. He can see his reflection now that mirrors don't use silver backings, and otherwise, silver just negates his abilities as a vampire but can't kill him, even if it smarts a bit. He keeps his abilities close to the vest, and he has had many phases in his life and has been known by many names. At one point, he was the Scourge of the Mediterranean until Athena stopped it. And he has a lot of trauma hung up in being a vampire thanks to his sire, who is no longer around because, well, Elijah took care of that in the 13th century with his secret progeny. Speaking of progeny, though, he has three left, and they want him dead. They live and work as a trio (in my mind), so if you want to play one, they'll be from Northern Africa, Western Asia/the Middle East, or the Mediterranean. Of course, Elijah's true purpose here is to mentor Stasi, and they get along like tom cats.

So yeah. If you want to read more about him or ask me something OOC check here. IC stuff is here.

hi everyone! this is alice, a banshee who's using her screamnado powers as a musician.

march was an excessively busy month for me, so i'm finally here to say a warm HELLO to everyone, see what i can do for you, and who would like to work out connections and lines with alice!

recent history: before deciding to start her touring company last year, she spent many years playing open mics most nights of the week, and began opening for recognizable names in the intimate new york nightclubs and venues.

potential connections: uk expats, band mates, nightclub employees, early adopter fans of her music on the local scene, previous roommates, past clients (when she was focused on making money through her dream doula work), julliard classmates/dropouts, other musicians, faes, banshees, etc!

oops i should've done this already MY BAD but this is petra, she's a changeling who was placed in london in 1851 who grew up as an orphan because no one wanted her (see: changeling) and she may or may not have had a streak of having violent outbursts toward any adoptive siblings (or other orphans) when they were mean toward her that resulted in her being dumped back off of at the orphanage again. REGARDLESS that violent streak never ended and resulted in many, many people getting kidnapped and abandoned on a island somewhere between england and norway.

hey party people, this is james (jamie, jimmy, whatever) hood who's your friendly resident storybook inspired former "pirate." he's a shapeshifter with a cheeky crocodile form who's probably guilty of eating the occasional stray dog or cat on accident. is he the famous crocodile living in the sewers of nyc? maybe. he's a little over 170 years old and originally from england, though he's been all over the world visiting various coastal towns and cities. per a brilliant suggestion from [info]plunged i'm thinking he operates a party yacht company. he's kind of a brat but he's also capable of being charming and funny when he puts his mind to it.

currently seeking other water-based friends and fellow shifters, exes (mostly f), nefarious types and kind souls so he's got a bit of both in his life.

Bringing Sekhmet back with a face change! Same angry cat god, just a new look. I'd love to rebuild the lines I had and establish new ones. She's a defender of Ra, Bast's sister, and all around awesome chick. She runs a martial arts practice, focusing on self-defense for women, but men are welcome, too. Please, hit me up! Let's make magic.

I hadn’t done this yet since I wanted to focus on the bio and get her in before adds, but [cue Mario Kart tunes] here we go! This is Yuliana Ivanova who started out life as a snow maiden only to realize she was a zimadevushka, which is a Russian take on the Japanese Yuki-onna: A snow creature who, after tricking someone into the deep snow by charming them, lets them die of the cold and, in this case, cannibalizes their corpse (which not all Yuki-onna are said to do, but there’s at least one story that does). Granted, she doesn’t do it all the time, but it has made her a rich woman throughout the years since she fled her village in the 1890s, bouncing from one location to another while eating a rich suitor here and there and ditching their skeletons in the most frigid snows she could find.

Cue up to 2023, she is living in Manhattan, posing as a socialite since what better to be when you don’t really have to work, and enjoying all that western life has to offer except the summer months when she’d rather be a hermit somewhere frozen (akin to zimaduveshka hibernating in the summer, but without all the sleeping). There’s a more in-depth biography here with abilities and weaknesses included!

That said, she’s open to all sorts of lines! I haven’t dropped them into the bio yet (read as: I’m lazy, but not forgetting), but she’s close friends with [info]shvybzik and former roommates with [info]sofa in a Princess Bubblegum and Marceline fashion (cold-blooded creatures and snow hags don’t make the best of thermostat agreements), and I’m so ready to figure out how to connect her with others! Friends, foes, historical connections even though she is on the younger side of expansive ages, former flings and romances that ended either good or bad, other social elite to wine, dine and have a good time with, etc. And if we can’t figure something out preemptively, we can definitely throw characters at the organic wall and see what sticks!

This here is Paimon, one of the Kings of Hell. She's omniscient and if you conjure her correctly, she is bound to answer your question. Incorrectly, well, she may not show up or she may show up and eat your head off. You know. Whatever. She's also who you might ask you bind your familiar to you or give you one at all. She's a teacher to Gemory and very obedient to Lucifer. I'd love to build some lines with basically everyone, so give them to me!

hey! ares, the greek god of war and courage, reporting in. he also is a champion of women and children, so he is a big softy. he currently is under the pseudonym of anthony mars. he is either the most hated or the most loved greek deity depending on who you ask. he currently is the brig. general of west point. he loves his job so much he is willing to commute the 50 miles north every day.

basically new to this whole thing, so i'd like lines with everyone who wants to throw one our way. friends, foes, more family(lol), people he absolutely destroys in call of duty or any battle/strategy game, exes or flings during his offs with aphrodite, people his kids absolutely terrorizes and he has never been more proud, or anyone who wants to solidify where they stand in ares' book.

flautist
hello hello everyone!

i'm looking to bring in a hồ ly tinh into the mix as a tagalong roommate of [info]straggler with his incoming sister! she's a relatively young immortal, still caught up in the fancy new(ish) magic ability thing and not the happiest about how she doesn't have all of her powers yet but instead of actually putting any effort into actually trying to cultivate her magic, she's too busy following every whim she has and trying to make it as a flautist (unsuccessful as of yet, but she does have a fancy masters of music to her credit.)

she's mostly a newcomer to nyc but she did go to juilliard from 2012-2018 before moving back home so if there's any lines she might be able to fill for people from that time range, let's talk! she, also, of course would be happy to have some friends, exes, people who can't stand her but she doesn't realize it, whatever!

Hello! I'm hopefully bringing in Hestia from the deity group. She is a chef at some upscale restaurant that I haven't named yet. She also does tiktoks where she does that asmr organizational thing mostly, but also cottagecore stuff. Reviews, hauls, anything that has to do with it.

She's sweet but not a pushover. Watches all the drama from the outside, snacking on popcorn. Give her the tea, she wants to know everything. However she's a decent secret keeper.

I would love lots of lines with anyone not a deity since she thinks they're a little much. But also anyone who sees her as their favorite aunt. So give me everything, please. If there's something you think she would know already, let me know about that as well.

greetings all! looking to bring in na'amah who currently goes by norma — just one name, like beyonce. she's a queen of hell, succubus, and all around bad bitch who doesn't believe in rules, authority figures, or sobriety.

she's been around literally forever so there could be lines present, future, past! flings/lovers of any gender, men she's crept into the dreams of, other dark beings to pal around with, etc. neighbors? i haven't committed to a neighborhood yet so that's totally open.

i love plotting and brainstorming so don't be shy!

Hey all, I stumbled across this game in some ad comms and was immediately interested! I saw there was a need for more Demons, so I present to you Dante Vega, the human embodiment of the demon Bael.

I'm still poking around and figuring things out for the game, but in the meantime I figured I'd throw him out there and see if there was any interest or need. In summary, Bael has been around a really long time, and was one of the highest-ranking generals of Hell with over 66 legions of demons under his command. However, he was summoned and subsequently imprisoned by a mad witch for a few decades, which left him with a poor taste in his mouth for the breed in general.

Dante is, in short, a butt. He's about as nice as you might expect a recently-liberated former Duke of Hell to be... which is decidedly Not Nice. He's got enhanced strength and the power of invisibility and persuasion, and due to his limited time in this realm being spent imprisoned and tortured, he's not always super-great at the 'being human' thing.

I haven't made any concrete decisions about his current situation at this point, but I'm thinking he's been in the city for only a few weeks. If there are any line openings (or desires for any) with a cantankerous demon lord, I'd love to hear from you! I'm very open to ooc chatter and brainstorming, love exchanging vision boards, and live for collaborative storytelling. I'm also available on discord for easier communication, if desired!

Hope to hear from you all!

the people have spoken, and so i bring you this pedro face as a warlock('s apprentice)-turned-sea-turtle-turned...warlock-ish human again? it's confusing, it's a whole thing, but the point is that mateo is here to bring peace, love, and happiness to his little corner of the world, which just so happens to be right here in new york -- lucky you! he and lifemate [info]surfwax moved from the west coast last fall, and have a sweet little piece of beach property in queens, but he runs a food truck (specializing in hawaiian bbq and novelty potions drinks) in manhattan and brooklyn, schedule and more details tbd. he's terribly unlucky, probably the most inept warlock this side of orko (iykyk), but what he lacks in magical talent, he more than makes up for in the food and friendship department.

seeking out the following: neighbors, 1-2 co-workers to help him run the truck, people who have purchased potions from him and are still reaping the consequences, lovahs (former or current) who also enjoy hot tubs and spiced meats, a great-great-etc relative he doesn't know exists yet (he was born in the 1910's, y'all), regular customers, the supernatural wonder who outed and subsequently transformed him back to human in the middle of the ocean, any sea folks or creatures he and anais may have encountered throughout their travels, someone who's caught him sprouting flippers or a shell in the middle of the subway/coffee shop/bodega, and literally anything else you wonderfully creative geniuses want to throw my way!

my turn!

this is hayden, a werewolf turned during world war 1. he spent a year in europe, mainly france and germany, adjusting to werewolf life before returning to america. back in the states, he continued the nomadic lifestyle up and down the east coast before finally returning to new york in the 80's.

he works as a bodyguard, so he's naturally protective and quick to get his hands dirty in a fight. he's grumpy and sarcastic, so he's a little hard to get close to at first, but once you do, he's pretty awesome. he's also got a pretty awesome pack with wade, gina and (hopefully) sam.

he could use ex's of either gender, friends, anyone who knew him from the past, or anything else you need filled!

hello and good evening! I am a hopeful future member of ~pagans and looking to create some connections for my gal here.

this is Stasi Rothchild, a 105-year-old vampire who also just so happens to be thee Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov. sired on the evening of her execution in Koptyaki forest by her former governess, Stasi traveled from Saint Petersburg to Paris where she spent most of her early years in isolation with her sire and grandsire. unlike your 20th century fox girlie, Stasi is very much that rambunctious, hell-raising teenager she was in life but with a whole heaping of feral chaos gremlin tossed in for good measure. (think Claudia from Interview, which she may or may not have provided inspo for.) case in point: she backed and bankrolled Anna Anderson's campaign for legitimacy bc hey what else did she have going on? she loves to travel and rarely keeps to one place for too long. in-game, she'll have been in NYC for four years as of next month.

I have only a few solid line ideas in mind, including:
• a magical being or user she occassionally nibbles on ("drinking buddies")
• someone she just sort of tripped and fell into being friends with one day bc they were reading Tolstoy on the train like a freak
• exes of either gender

I am entirely open to just about anything else! a little bit about me: I've been writing on this server since god was a boy, I'm on CST, and I'm always down to chat OOC to swap playlists, headcanons, moodboards, etc. I love collaborating and group storytelling so please don't be shy!

hello! newbie incoming. i'm in love with the premise of this place and thought i'd dig out an old muse to potentially toss into the ring. this is philophrosyne, the littlest of the younger graces by way of hephaestus and aglaia. she inspires welcome and kindness and all that fluffy stuff. in modern times, she's known as olivia onasis and runs a party planning business called make merry designs out of her manhattan apartment with her cockatiel, mello. she's also the serial baked goods bringer to all new neighbors.

i don't have any specific lines in mind atm and she's still largely a wip, but any and all connections are welcome!

I'm coming off of being super sick and interacting with last few adds so I wanted to reintroduce this lady here. This is Gina, a werewolf who is trying her best to run with the other weres (and shifters) while owning a bar in Brooklyn called The Dead Rabbit. She's lived in NYC for almost twenty years now -ten of those years as a werewolf- so if anyone would like to have known her pre-wolf times that would be fancy. She enjoys long walks on the beach and reading bad romance novels in the tub. Kidding. Mostly. I know she has plenty of wonderful connections already but I'd also love to make new friends with all the beautiful new faces!

hi there! i'm about to apply with her, but this is nadia west, formerly known as nadya salaŭjoŭ. she was born in 1918 in beijing but moved to belarus when her mother died, but because of the russian civil war at the time, she and her father fled to england. she was a nurse in world war ii and died in the line of fire, only to be resurrected in a nearby copse of trees. ever since, she's been more or less in europe, killing mostly men and unsure about her new seemingly immortal lifespan. currently, nadia is the concertmistress of the new york philharmonic, as well as a freelance musician and music teacher.

she's very much an outgoing, charming individual who can relate pretty much anything to a classical piece, but she also prone to getting lost in her own thoughts. she spends a lot of free time doing martial arts and crossword puzzles.

she doesn't have many lines at the moment and if we've talked before, i'd love to confirm lines because i've taken so long that i forgot most of them. exes, current flirtations, friends, more murderesses who brunch, anything goes!
