Oooh, perhaps there's another family and they decide to take out the others?

Love that idea, I can look into some Creole history for some ideas.

Fabulous! I'm just going to chill and imagine my boy with a mixture of a louisiana accent and a french hint.

Name: Emilio LeTour
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Homosexual
Family: LeTour Family, the Necromancers
Appearance: Emilio has skin colored the same shade as the espresso he loves to drink, peppered by freckles. His eyes are an almost melting gold that screams both mischief and invites you to see what that mischief entails for you. He stands at about 5'10 and is a thin thing, the only extra weight he has on him is muscle. Much to his Grandmere's dislike, his body almost never shows how much of her food he eats. His hair is a mess, but somehow fashionable tousled. It's black and will occasionally be slicked back out of his face. His ears have two studs in them, golden, he has a color scheme to maintain and on his hands, he has one steel skull ring and a gold one. They're on the same place of each hand. He has a multitude of tattoos, but mostly are on his back.
Personality: Emilio is the fire of the family, not the hearth, no, he's the fire. He's the one that vanishes in the middle of the night only to return covered with dirt and with a skull in his bag. He's the one who talks to the dead like they're his friends, and to him, they were. He had other friends, he was well liked, but only those who have died can freely speak to the one that whispers into their graves.
Usual Clothing: Anything that doesn't show dirt. He dresses in mostly browns and blacks, prefering tighter clothes so that they don't get caught on things. He always has on sturdy shoes, good for walking, running, and occasionally stepping into the middle of a river and talking to those who were drowning there.
Backstory: Emilio is more of a wild soul, chosing to take his studies outside. If you were to find him reading, you'd find him reading out to the bones in the backyard and debating with the spirits from the bayou.
Other: Whenever he summons a spirit or bones for a job, he always brings food as a payment.

Love him, absolutely perfect.

Also for my other necromancers, a lil bit of background on voodoo culture since I was reading about it, one of the Gods of death is Papa Ghede, zombies actually come from Creole and they’re usually spirits stopped from being able to cross over to the spirit world, so maybe that’s what you guys call on. Zombies hate reptiles also. Just a few thoughts to help w your characters :)

I'd like to say that Emilio prays(works with?) Ghede Nibo more than the others
And
This Mardi Gras would be his first to actually attend, he spends the night with the spirits who died during it, keeping them company.

Hey! I'll post my character at some point today

Me too.

Love the idea. If anyone needs any background on their families to add to your characters feel free to ask me.

As for characters take your time. If we can get every character in today we could possibly start :)

I am so excited to start this holy shit
I haven't done a group rp in forever

Name: Lou LeTour
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Aroace
Family: LeTour, the Necromancers
Appearance: Lou's skin is the color of dark chocolate(ironically, the only chocolate she enjoys) with some flowery tattoos on the base of her neck, hidden by long, wavy, ebony hair. She stands at 5'4, and is thin, not surprising for the amount that she eats. She has wide, tired-looking amber eyes, and delicate hands adorned with tattoos snaking up her arms. Her ears are slightly pointed and pierced with silver rings.
Personality: Lou is outgoing, but secretive, if the discussion starts to stray into Lou's personal life, she'll change the subject. She's very creative, and can be found talking to the dead and writing their stories. She can be cheerful, but she gets mood swings often.
Usual Clothing: Lou wears men's shirts that contrast with her complexion, usually plain white, sometimes decorated with black flowers. She wears tighter pants in neutral tones and tall, black boots, and her hair is sometimes pushed back with a colorful scarf. She usually carries a bag with her, holding a journal and a writing utensil.
Backstory: Lou has always been farther away from the rest of her family, choosing to meet new people, both living and dead, instead. She's heard many stories, and has become wary of her surroundings.
Likes/Dislikes: Lou loves dark chocolate, speaking to the dead, colorful scarves, music, festivals and the great outdoors. She dislikes any other kind of chocolate, talking about her personal life and nosy people.
Other: She plans on writing a book someday, about the tales of the dead.

Hey, what if Emilio helped Lou talk to her first ghost? I want family b o n d i n g

Yes!
Family bonding for the win

Lou looks great! Love all the characters so far

Emilio can and will pick Lou up and dump her into a body of water
it's just a big brother thing to do

If no-one else joins the reapers can I make a second character?

Sure! Just make your original character first and once everyone puts their templates in you can make that second character. (just to give everyone a fair shot at joining)

Alright. I'll make my character soon. When I do ill wait. If no one join's I can make a second one?

Emilio has done stupid shit on dares, especially from dead people. He's almost gotten killed so many times becuase he has no impulse control and most of the dead forget what a human's limits are

Yep all depends on if someone joins. Hopefully we’ll be starting today, I want to get this show on the road!

I’m literally living for Emilios character already, and I want my characters to be friends with him now.
