Writing for evil has been fun, but I think Talhu has pretty much reached his PC shelf life. What follows are both the stats for the new PC and his organization.
---------------
Name: Galen Eldridge
Race: Human
Nickname: Griffin (codename)
Birthdate/Location: August 13, 1968; Roswell, New Mexico
Position: Special Agent
Group Affiliaton: Majestic 12
Description:
See picture archive. Pics are of David Duchovney.
History:
Galen was born in Roswell, New Mexico - ironically, the same town that resulted in the creation of the agency he would ultimatly end up employed by. After attending a private school called The Academy in Roswell, he went on the college in Arizona to recieve his degree in criminology.
On April 17, 1993, Galen joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He continued as a member for 5 years. After being assigned to a kidnapping in July of 1997, he noticed that the reports did not add up and suspected a cover-up. Three days after approaching his boss with the evidence, the paperwork he filed vanished and a man in black warned him to forget about what he suspects.
Despite the warning, Galen continued quitely looking in the case for over a year, and heard rumors of similar incidents. On March 5, 1998, he approached one of the leaders of Majestic 12 with evidence of the cover-up. MajCom was impressed enough with the work that he had done that they decided to recruit him for the agency a week later. After three years as a regular agent, Galen managed to recieve the full special agent status. Recently, he was made one of the few agents who report directly to MajCom.
Items:
Lockpicks, his car, a .45 pistol, cigarettes, lighter, ID identifying him as a member of the FBI.
Security Clearances: Top Secret/Majestic
MajCom/Agent
-----------------
Majestic 12
Also known as Majestic, Majic, and MJ-12. Majestic was created on 17 November 1947 by a classified executive order from President Truman. While intially UFO-related, Majestic carries the highest level of classification and reports directly to the President. Officially, the organization not only does not exist, but never existed. Since its creation, Majestic's influence over the government has steadily expanded, mainly in Federal police forces.
Shortly after its founding, the twelve-member organization discovered the truth about demons and vampires. Its primary focus then changes from UFOs to the 'other world' as it became called. The core of the agency became a group of special agents who would be sent out to do field work, and researchers employed in secret labs. In addition, Majestic directs cover-ups of the 'other world,' trying to keep the public from learning about it.
Majestic has the highest level of classification availabe (top secret/code word; specifically Top Secret/Majestic) and very few people outside of the organization know of its existance. Those that do rarely (if ever) have concrete proof. The controlling body is known alternatively as MajCom or MajSec. The best special agents report directly to MajCom and have the broadest authority of anyone. MJ12's main facility is the infamous Area 51, which also does not officially exist.

Character Petition - Mantheana
Hannah has requested a new character so she may be added back into the game. She has sent a draft to everyone, but I am posting it here for consideration. She indicated some willingness to make some modifications to this incarnation if needed. Please post you comments for the group and be prepared to give her an answer before the end of this season.
Becasue of timing and plot issues, I am going to recommend that this character's introduction be delayed until mid-season (see my announcement on the real-world timeline) so please include those thoughts in your post as well. Thanks!

Mantheana
Race: Immortal Coldling
Sex: female
Name: Mantheana Alashkov
Date of birth/location: 1819, in Russia. Converted 1834 also in Russia
Position: Russian Countess
Group Affiliation: The Order of the Cold
Description:
Mantheana is a young looking Caucasian female of average height and with a slim build. Her hair and features are dark. Her skin is a total contrast, being a pale and thin white from her years without sun. Blue veins trace underneath the almost her almost translucent skin. Her eyes are an unusual colour of a crimson-maroon. She wears a white gold pendent and old-fashion style dresses of crimson and black. Her former partner encouraged her to get painted or portrayed when ever possible, so perceptions of her lie hidden in artwork across the world. Her teeth, when normal, are just a little pointier than most humans look, and most people would only pick up that she had a ‘strange’ smile (which is prone to freaking people out if she uses it right). She speaks in English but with a Russian accent, and she frequently slips into Russian lingo and has to translate. Although she is not terrible strong, her speed is great and her senses are super charged. Through out all this, she is quite attractive and had many admirers in her years before Mikhail.
History:
Mantheana was born in St Petersburg, Russia in 1819; her mother was a close friend of Alexandra Hohenzorren, Who was married to the Imperial Czar Nicholas Romanov, She was the same age as the Czarina’s eldest daughter, Maria Alexandrovna and they had played together as children. As she grew, Mantheana was taught all sorts of etiquette. She was taught how to play the piano and the violin. She was artistically gifted and as part of her upper-class education, she is fluent in many languages. She was quite graceful at the art of ballet and enjoyed dancing. Through knowing people in the Czar and Czarina’s close circle, Mantheana managed to get herself a wealthy place in the Russian Empire as she grew. Much of her current wealth is due to that fact.
When she was 25, she was at a dinner party when she was introduced to the charming and wealthy Count Mikhail Trankski
Mikhail had unusually short hair for the time that flicked up at the front. His skin was very pale, even for that of a Russian, and his grin was strange but calming.
He had talked to her for hours, telling her of his marvelous adventures and all the places he had been to and how he would take her round the world some day too. Then, near midnight, he took her out onto the balcony and as he bent to kiss her wrist, touching her with his cold, cold hands, he bit her and lapped at the blood that tickled out of the wound. Mantheana had started to cry out, but Mikhail hushed her and whispered things to her and his soothing voice hypnotized her. He told her that her blood was warm, and that, for the price of never feeling warm again, she could live forever with him. She thought about it and she knew that that was what she wanted. She wiped the blood from her wound and touched her heart. He mutter words in an old and forgotten language, but she did recognize at the end "To the Cold Lordess, she surrenders, give her Thy reward!" She has felt something slip away from her.
Although she felt no stronger, her senses became super charged and she could feel every atom of air around her and the silk over her dress on her skin. She could her voices far off in the distance and smell the tiniest details on people. The air now had a taste to it and she could see for miles around. When she thought about it after, she knew this was when every ounce of warmth in her body was taken away from her. She felt for her pulse. It was sill there. But her neck felt so cold. She had walked around the mansion after this, her arm linked with the strong are of Mikhail, they picked up the possessions she chose to keep and left into the night. In the morning, Mikhail only just stopped her from walking right into the warm and inviting sunlight. When Mantheana questioned this, he told her, then when the Cold Lord first cam to be the only sources of heat other than bodies, was fire and the sun. These two things she could never feel again.
Mikhail took her to places she had never even dreamed of as they traveled from country to country living in rich mansions and luxury city hotels. Teaching her about the Order and what she was now. Five years later, she woke up in Prague and the house around her was empty. The bed beside her was cold. But then his cold body never could have made it warm in the first place.
After this she felt cold and secluded. She traveled only a little and would often look at her scarred wrist and cry. She lived like this for another ten years, wandering around aimlessly.
Soon after this ten-year period, she was in Czechoslovakia when out of the blue; Mikhail came up behind her. She was suprised and angry and demanded to know about his running off, but her refused to tell her. He bit her wrist again right on the scar, and she felt how she had missed him. Soon she was under his spell again, for even though she angered herself with her feelings, she knew she loved him so. He brought her a beautiful necklace of white gold inscribed ‘MM’ which she never ever took off. This time she was sure that everything was going to be ok now.
To her dismay, several years later, he left her again and she slipped into another wave of depression. For a while she was angry, so she chose to teach herself basic swordplay. Again, a few years later, he returned into her open arms.
Mikhail’s coming and going spanned for years, each time he left her, Mantheana felt more and more wretched. Then in the year 2001, when he left her the last time to date, she chose to send him a message, saying that he should stop coming back, because it was tearing up her cold heart. Only after it was sent, did she find that he had left her not as alone as he or she may have thought. A warm presence was now inside her.
She had had her daughter nine moths later later, hating the moment she had to let go of the living warmth. In the Cold Order, it is not a first for a child to be born, sometimes the children's parents weren't both Cold. It is thought that maybe this is quite an open possibility for the Cold, but no one has really got close enough to ask and come back again. All the same it was still quite rare and was an unexpected turn of events for Mantheana.
There for Mantheana felt that Mikhail had loved her. Once and probably only for that split second, but still, he had loved her.
She named the child after her best friend, the Czarina’s daughter, Maria. Maria was born from the cold but living bodies of both her parents. If Mikhail does know of Maria’s arrival, he has made no attempt to find his lover and daughter. Mantheana hopes that one day they can be a happy family. She is not sure of whether to let Maria be cold, as she doesn't know how that would effect Maria's future.
So Mantheana is trying her hardest to be the best single mother that Maria could hope for. She is experienced in swordplay but is not the greatest skilled swords woman ever, and her only real advantage in a fight would be her speed and the face that she can pick up even the slightest disturbances in the air. Although Mantheana is up to date with most modern technology, she prefers life as it was when she was alive and only uses technology when necessary. She has found loops holes in finding warmth and one of her favourite things to do is to have a very hot bath.
For now, she has bought one of the huge old mansions in LA and is making it homely for herself, her little Maria and her huge Russian wolf pet Yasha. She hopes to find civilised life there, but after living a long time secluded, she does not know what to expect. She hopes to make some friends and does not have a problem with humans, although she wonders if they will have a problem with her.
Items:
She is always wearing her pendent which has inscribed on it ‘M M’ which she has on what ever else she wears. She owns a huge Russian/Siberian wolf called Yasha, Yahsa is a fierce beast when angered or fighting and not many things have tampered with him and seen the light of day again. His only soft spots are for Mantheana and especially the little Maria, whom he will protect with his life.
She is quite rich and owns a vast wardrobe of rich and old-fashioned clothes; she has recently brought an old, typical and spooky mansion in LA for Maria and herself to live in.
The history/rules of the Order of the Cold
They are in essence, immortal, cold-blooded (not as in the killing way) humans. They cannot produce their own heat and must stay away from the two primal heats (the sun and fire). They are not evil unless they were corrupt individuals to begin with. A lot of them didn't know what they were getting into at the beginning.
The ‘Cold’ are immortal, but not invulnerable. Weaknesses include original sources of heat such as the sun and fire; too much of these can kill. The only other way to kill them is to weaken them and then to do the ritual to ask the Cold Lordess to forsake the individual in question, and this is not always accepted. They are still alive, but have given up any way of making body heat to become immortal.
They become this way by surrendering their warmth to the Cold Lordess; an evil lower goddess, who as punishment for the higher Gods for being her cruel and twisted self had all living warmth drained from her. She then took to taking it from others in return for everlasting life.
They only sometimes drink blood, and this is only because it gives them a brief taste of living warmth. Their appearance does not change in this process, and all the blood is not taken for this would kill the person and that is not considered fair.
As they are still alive, children are a possibility, both with other cold members and normal people. As are emotions and everything else that comes with the 'being-alive-package'.

Ok, Hannah wanted me to post this on her behalf;
OK One, Mantheana is spelled like that, and two, Hannah has a 'h' on the end. Also , on re thought, sired probably is the wrong word to use, more, 'changed'. I also would like to make it clear that Mantheana is not a Vampire, more a cold blooded human.
Thankyou for helping me out so far, although I have changed alot of her bio already, I am welcome to suggestions.

I have changed "sired" to "converted" becasue this is as much a religion as it is a physical transformation.
Thanks for the corrections, I have updated the character and my previous post.

Barring any serious objections I am prepared to allow Hannah back into the game with this character. I have asked her to apply to the board, and will get her approved right away.
I have asked her to refrain from posting on the Game board through the end of season 1, but have invited her begin posting during the mid-season.
If there are any present who forsee problems or have concerns, speak now or forever hold your peace.
PC switch
I was thinking about changing characters because although I enjoyed writing for Jem I don't think she can go on as an PC much longer so I created this character;
Real Name: Jessica Travers
Nick Name: Jessie, Jess
Date of Birth and Location: 6/23/80 London, England
Race: Human
Sex: Female
Position: Watcher
Group Affiliation: The Watchers Council
Description: Jessica stands at 5'6", long dark brown and slightly wavy hair flows down her back. She is lightly tanned and is usually smiling. Unlike the average watcher, she is not inclined to wear tweed; instead she is a casual dresser and most often wears jeans or skirts and casual tops. She is open to making friends and is curious about the new demon types that she meets from time to time.
Played by Holly Marie Combs
Background: Jessie has lived in London all her life. Her mother and father (Quentin Travers) died in an attack of the Council headquarters a few years back, her older brother, Will is one of the directors of the Watchers Council and has sent her to L.A to complete her training.
After her eleventh birthday, just after she left primary school, her parents sprang the truth about the mythical world upon her. She has been training as a Watcher since she was 19 and lived in the Council headquarters for the majority of her life. The reason Jessie started training at an older age than most Watchers usually do was due to the fact that the Council originally predicted she would one day be the Chosen One and she originally trained as a Slayer-In-Waiting. After her nineteenth birthday the Council gave up hope of her becoming the Slayer. She decided to become a Watcher and she started training soon after.
Jessie is a fairly young Watcher and has no slayer or Slayer-In-Waiting to train at the moment, because she still has a few months of training left. She will finish her training in a month or so when she will be given a Slayer-In-Waiting to train as she once was.
When she was trained as a Slayer she learnt mostly combat and for her training as a Watcher she has learnt of many demon breeds and has a good knowledge of demons. She was also trained in the art of magic, but she only uses it when she has to. Although she does not have the power of a Slayer she has the training; the tactics, knowledge of weapons and the strength to fight. Jessie can speak several languages including demonic and ancient ones.
She has moved to L.A to research the vampire and demonic activity in this part of America and to help her with her training. After pestering Will continuously he got her a job monitoring any unusual demonic activity in LA. She intends to do a good job at all costs so that she can complete her full training and get herself a Slayer.
Hoping to fit in somewhere in the big city and help the ever-growing Watcher's Council, Jessie reports regularly to her brother by phone, whom she now feels more attached to since her parents died.
Items: Jessie always carries a few stakes and a bottle of holy water around with her, she has some magical power (enough to protect herself if need be) and occasionally carries a few ingredients for spells. Her 5-year-old English Setter Skye is never far from her side when possible. Jessie always wears her silver cross necklace that has been handed down through the family and once belonged to her mother.
i like this idea
Hey, cool. I think we would probably know each other if you play a Watcher. Sounds good to me.

It is an issue in a game like this - and I think now all the people who started out with 'evil' characters have come to the same conclusion. It can be fun to play a bad guy, but they do have a limited shelf life.
Jess looks like she'll be a great character - looking forward to seeing her in the game. :)
PC Submissions & Proposals (Apr 02 - Jun 02)
I'm sure it's a fact that most people can understand as a 'bad' PC you have to be willing to take a good ass kicking on a regular basis - it's a compromise for not getting wasted! (unless you are Tempest but let's not go there!)
Any way I think Jess sounds great, probably very likely that Kate would know her too if for nothing else than the fact that she is Quentin's daughter!
