Since there isn't anything open...

Well, this is my first time GMing a RTD. The concept is that you are a detective who happens to be a night creature in the style of Dwarf Fortress. Five players should do it. Thank you. Sorry if I make a mess of things.

Two people can have the same weapon.

Apart from the bazooka. That would be silly.

((Fine. Also, I meant more like "Desmond awoke from his slumber. It was a blah blah blah." Like a book, you know? Just remember that for the main thing.))

Name: Stjepan Lukic
Normal Appearance: An average-height man with a lean build, Stjepan possesses a somewhat intimidating face of harsh lines and sharp angles and a headful of messy, dark brown hair. There is a certain resigned weariness to his eyes and posture, like a man awaiting his execution.
Night Creature: After night falls, Lukic lets go of his human form, revealing an inhumanly slender and flexible body, bloodshot eyes and rows and rows of sharpened teeth. In the process, he gains a great deal of unnatural speed and agility.
Personality: Despite his idealistic youth, Stjepan has taken a dark, resigned outlook on life due to his new condition. He cares little for things like 'justice' or 'righteousness', only looking forward to the next job and the money it brings with it.
Weapon: Tommy Gun
Secondary: Hammer (Heavy Weapon)

This sounds like an interesting idea. Do we get anything from our Night Creature forms? I'll remove that if needed.

Name: Arraris Moriarty
Normal Apperance: Average height, dark haired, immaculate.
Night Creature: This man's body is dotted with perhaps hundreds of open, sharp-toothed mouths. When he breathes, the sound comes from his entire body, and when he speaks the words come from each mouth simultaneously. He has no eyes. When necessary he can step through the corners of buildings as long as both sides are in darkness.
Personality: Arraris has embraced his change, while frightening to some his life hasn't changed much. His enhanced abilities have been an aid in the past and they will be again, if a few low lifes that should have died years ago have to die to sustain his existence, so be it.
Weapon: Serbu super-shorty. (Shotgun)
Secondary: Yatagahn (Heavy)

Zilch. Wizards exist, but they like magic of the dark kind and they prefer blood sacrifice to the usual fare of wizardry, though there is discworld-esque magic. Just to know, vampires and werewolves don't exist.

This is a very grim and still quite original universe. Vampires emoing it up wouldn't be great.

Still, only a few people left to go.

Also, of course. It wouldn't be a change if you didn't change yourself.

Holding for a bit. If there are spots left of course.

Name: Jon Lucanon
Normal Appearance: A man of average height and a wiry build with light, dirty blond hair, kind hazel eyes and lips that seem to curl naturally into a smile
Night Creature: When night falls Jon's body gains the pallor of a dead man and his muscles draw tight as new limbs sprout and normal appendages change constantly from crab's pincers to bear claws
Personality: Jon has embraced his change as a natural feature of life, personally believing that any change's that he goes through is just a natural feature he was destined to have and use all for the pursuit of justice
Weapon: Pistol/ Magnum .44
Secondary: Trench Knife (Light Melee)

if they were true vamps, rather than what has become mainstream, they would not be emo-ing the place up, they would be delighting in bloodshed

hmm everyone here is male, but i already have quite afew female characters, roll to gender time (i like there to be a mix of genders, see)

Name: Natasha Vaelmont
Normal appearence: A tall slim woman, dark brown neck length hair, that looks as if she does not care for it and coal black eyes
Night Creature: When not pretending to be human anymore, natasha's face elongates slightly, her mouth filled with sharp fangs, and her eyes develop a more predatory cast. She should not by rights be able to talk with that mouth, but somehow can. Her skin becomes leathery and Black, not what we call black skin, but true black, the absense of any colour, scales of jet covour her vulnerable areas, and a long, bladed tail extends her spine.
Personality: Natasha is torn between embracing and fearing what she has become, on one hand, there are friends and family that she is terrified for, because she fears she may slay then. On the other hand however, there are scumbags in the world that she not only feels no remorse for, but indeed takes a kind of pleasure in cutting thier lives short
Weapon: Springfield Rifle
Secondary: Throwing knives(5)

You really can both sig it.
But... That would break the laws of sigging! We can't have everyone running around with the same quotes. IT MAKES THEM UNFUNNY FASTER!

Right!

Let's go!

In an office building somewhere in Chicago, five people wake up. Well, not really people. Their offices are all different, but they share one similarity. In fact, a very huge similarity. They all have the same letter that was pushed under their doors. The sun had set, and the lights were off. Now, what did one of them do?

Normal Apperance: A Tall man from Great Britan, he is wearing a nice suit and a fancy looking fedora.
Night Creature: When Charles turns his eyesight greatly increases, he grow's large bat-like wings, and has greater strength especially in his legs.
Personality: Charles is a refined, polite person. He's a smoothtalker and always uses his sleuth diplomacy (Mspaint adventures ho!) to win in fights.
Weapon: Tommy Gun
Secondary: 44. Magmum

EDIT: JUST MISSED IT.
