Post your Der Hafen characters here.

_________________

The Actor.

Real name unknown.

Race: Human

Sex: Male

Age: Unspecified. Looks like late twenties/early thirties.

Looks: Average height, somewhat heavyset and powerful build. Short dark brown hair and carefully trimmed goatee. Eyes as green as the sea.

Always correctly dressed. The man's expansive wardrobe includes three piece suits, top coats, walking canes, boutonnières... every article one might expect a distinguished gentleman to keep in his possession. Occasionally wears a monocle.

Description: Playwright, poet, writer, thespian... the clientele of Der Hafen know the character known as the Actor as a walking repository of poetry, literary quotes, intellectual entertainment and the occasional, terrible insight to the workings of the world. Nothing else is known, and as such, he remains a mystery to man and angel alike.

_________________
Lacy: How did I fall in love with such a jerk like him? Why can't I ever meet a nice man?
Tom: You've met lots of nice men, Lacy. I'm a nice man. The biggest lie all of you women tell yourselves is that you like nice men, when, in fact, we bore you silly.
The trouble is, you tell this lie out loud and so damned often that some of us more gullible types hear it growing up and work hard to become nice men.
Well, from all the nice men in the world, Lacy, fuck you very much.

Name: Alexandra

Sex: Female

Race: Human
Nationality: American (Half-Mexian, and Half-Italian)
Age: 18 years old.

Height: 5’4 and a half.

Physical Description: Slender, long dark-brown hair, brown eyes. Always wearing the latest fashion, but on a sort of tomboyish way.

Personality: She's irresponsible, self-centered and often thoughtlessly cruel to her loved ones but she does genuinely love them and will, in the end, do what's right, even if admittedly "doing what's right" usually means fixing a problem she caused in the first place.

Now because of her deadpan snarkiness, and her sociopath behavior, she usually gets in trouble, but because (luckily) Alexandra is cute, streetwise and spicy, this girl to solve most of the situations.

Mirror Ash: I don't think so. We just cut up our girlfriend with a chainsaw. Does that sound "fine"?

Arthgon... You can't be a vampire. Where did you get that idea from in the first place? You have to pay attention if you want to play in this game. I will only tolerate so much of your usual semi-trolling business.

Alright, sorry, I have changed the character of mine. Is it now better?

PS: Which nationalities are useable and which not?

Background: Many years ago, her great-grand-grand parents (and some other family members) who were wizards (That's on her father's side.) fled Italy to the 'New World' for economic reasons and because to escape from the claws of the suspicious, misguided, superstitious townsfolk of their village. The other family members, who could not pay the voyage, had to stay there at a low profile.

Then years later, in the heart of Texas Alexandra's parents met eachother in the local store, fell in love, and soon Maria became pregnant at a young age. Alexandra was born. On the girls 12th birthday Alexandra was told by her father that she was a wizard. Also, that he will teach her everything.

At some point in the 1940's Alexandra (Just 18) wanted to find some living relatives, and went to Italy. There she heard that two uncles were taken by the Nazi's and brought to the capitol of Germany. Taking the plane to Berlin, she followed the trail. The last place where they were seen was at the Der Hafen.

Okay, I made a background of my character, (next time I have to type faster.)

Samil Malach HaMavet

Race: Malach (Fallen)

Sex: Male

Age: Ageless


Appereace: Samil is of normal heigh in his human form (180cm or 6”) with short black hair and quite pale skin. His eyes are brown and that kind of eyes that you wouldn’t want to stare into. His presence usually makes those around him slightly uncomfortable. In his celestial form he has the head of a snake.

Currently he is wearing a black suit with a white shirt and a brown overcoat and armed with an old colt revolver that has served him well.

Description: One would never doubt which side Samil belonged on, no matter what was said. Being one of the earlier ones to side with Lucifer he is well know for the trail of death is has left in history. For those that can see it, his very existence reeks with the death of those he have killed.

I will be playing as well, obviously.

Ismael

Race: Malach (fallen)

Sex: Male

Age: Ageless

Looks: Ismael is tall and slender, with pale skin and golden hair. His eyes are of the deepest blue, and people who look into them tend to get stuck for a while. The Malach is very beautiful, with androgynous looks. He's not the kind of person you would fall in love with or feel attracted to, but having him around makes everybody sort of happier. In his true shape, Ismael has the head of a deer.

He is at the moment dressed in the uniform of an officer of the SS and carries with him their trademark knife and luger.

Description: If one was to meet Ismael at Der Hafen, unaware of his allegiances, one would soon come to the conclusion that he was one of Mikaels angels. He is very polite and calm and is known widely for his social grace. He is, however, one of the most coldblooded murderers in history and has thousands of human lives on his conscience.

Mr. Charles Adams

Race: Undead
Sex: Male
Age: Born 1822, died 1863. Actual age is approximately 120 but looks to be mid-late thirties.
Looks: Short, stocky build w. sandy blonde hair and grey eyes. Currently wearing the uniform of a dead SS officer though he is not a member of any military faction.

Description: Former Whitworth Sharpshooter for the Confederacy during the American Civil War. Was killed by a deserter in the 1860's but for whatever reason was reanimated and spent many more years in service to one army or another. Mr. Adams is a formidable marksman with nearly 100 years of experience in shooting and maintaining guns who moved to Germany at the turn of the century. Presently living in a run-down apartment building somewhere in Berlin, spending his days looting the ruins of the city trying to amass what little wealth he can...

There's a pretty factual and probably not a particularly eloquent description but it'll do for now.

Well here's my character, if I am allowed to play too..?

Name: Doctor Long Chan
Race: Human. Chinese.
Age: 64. Old.
Description: Short and slight. Despite his years, his hair is black and kept trimmed short and his face shaved clean. His skin is lined but not wrinkled. He moves slowly with great care but he sits and stands with a straight back. He wears a horrible brown tweed suit with a matching stetson, apparently under the impression that he blends in. His official papers show he works in a classified government department as a medical advisor.

Background: Born in the 1870's and raised in a noble house of Beijing, he learned the arts and science of Chinese black magic, but also martial arts and Chinese medicine which taught restraint and non-interference in nature. When many of his uncles and cousins were executed during the Boxer Rebellion, the family lost its face and fortune, and the philosophy of caution and restraint became more pronounced in his training. Therefore, despite the theoretical knowledge of magic, he has almost never used it. His family is long-lived and he practises every art of longevity he knows, but in his old age it is becoming too late to start practising magic now.

BUT, the art of restraint involves waiting for the right moment to strike.

The war was stirring up a lot of magical artifacts and lore, and the Reich was searching them out. Berlin was the place to wait for opportunity and Der Haffen was where it would start.

Edited: birth-year to match age.

Nice characters, both of you.

I have updated my character, and fixed some grammatical errors.

Name: Alexandra. “Alex”

Sex: Female.

Race: Human.

Nationality: Hispanic American (Half-Mexican, and Half-Italian)

Age: 18 years old.

Height: 5’4 and a half.

Physical Description: Slender, long dark-brown hair, brown eyes. Always wearing the latest fashion, but on a sort of tomboyish way.

Personality: She's irresponsible, self-centered and often thoughtlessly cruel to her loved ones but she does genuinely love them and will, in the end, do what's right, even if admittedly "doing what's right" usually means fixing a problem she caused in the first place.

Now because of her deadpan snarkiness, and her sociopath behavior, she usually gets in trouble. Luckily, Alexandra is cute, streetwise and a spicy Latina, this girl solves most of the tricky situations.

Background: Many years ago, her magically talented great-great-grand parents (and some other family members) on her father's side fled Italy to the 'New World' for economic reasons and because to escape from the claws of the suspicious, misguided, superstitious townsfolk of their village. The ones, who could not pay the voyage, had to stay there at a low profile.

Taking the plane to Berlin, she followed the trail. The last place where they were seen was at the Der Hafen.

Inventory: Backpack: Two old photo’s of her two missing uncles, clean clothes, makeup, and a map of Berlin.

PS: Is this okay?

edited in my character in my previous post.

Can I play? I was really bogged down with my college stuff, but now I'm done for the semester. Well, I have three more pages to write on a research paper, but that'll take me a day. And it doesn't look like too much is going on right now, I could just pop in with a new face.
If a late entry is allowed, here's my character;

Asazel

Malach

Ageless

Description;
Throughout the centuries, Asazel has fought for the greater good and for the restoration of the earth. He loves music, and once came to the people of Greece as Apollo, god of music and the arts, as well as the sun. He's got a very laid back personality (save on the field of battle), and will never tell a lie (to the best of his knowledge). He speaks indirectly, constantly uses metaphors only relevant to himself, and altogether appears to be aloof of most things around him. This is betrayed by his keen senses of perception and lightning reflexes. He enjoys speaking with humans, with their ever evolving culture, and is fascinated by the art of magic.
In his true shape, he has the head of a tiger.
If I'm too late, that's cool too.

A green reptile is never late, nor is he early; he arrives exactly when he means to.

I'm glad there's one unfallen angel, though outnumbered in-game by exactly the opposite proportion as that purported by hebrew lore. Wasn't the rebellion against heaven one-third of the hosts?

Well, one third of a alot is still quite many, and for two of quite many to be in Berlin 1940 is not exacly a rarity. I mean, this is where the action is.

Plus Der Hafen is one of a kind. And we have left most of the "common" history of angels behind, since it doesn't fit in.

Otherwise my charcter( Samil, Sammael) would be commander of two million angels and lord of the fifth circle of heaven. And quite possible on Lucifers side at the same time.

_________________

I know, I know, I didn't suppose Der Hafen had to reflect earth-lore, and three out of millions (billions, trillions?) is a meaningless sample size for statistics anyway, I just thought it was a cute coincidence.

PS -
You're that Sammael? Holy moly, you're famous. One fundamentalist church in the US places you as the patron (fallen) angel of Iraq. Other's would say that Sammael was Lucifer's name when he was still a choirboy. I like the unmitigated evil. I might edit in an overt reaction now I realise what an aura of evil he projects.
