Summany: I don't really know where you make this story about, maybe something with that he was really good at technique class on his past.
Before he was a murder ... idk I leave it to you.


Night settled over Salem as everyone bar a few individuals went to sleep for the night. The Smith was one of those individuals, working away with hammer and bellows even though the world around him was in slumber. He was busy making a new weapon for himself, one of the many he had crafted. The next night, he would use it to wreak terror among the citizens of the Town. They would finally know respect for him. The Smith was one of the best craftsmen in the city, his swords and armor the finest in the land. However, many told him that his craft was growing obsolete. In the world of guns and magic and bulletproof clothing, what was the use for a metal weapon when you could be shot before even getting into range? The Smith refused to submit to the taunts, and continued with his work. However, he was a proud and and often got into arguments over this. One of those arguments turned into a challenge, and a duel at dawn. The Smith donned his best armor, sword and shield to the field whilst his opponent, the justice-serving Vigilante, had only his trusted handgun. Despite that, with a couple of well-placed shots the duel ended as soon as it began and the Smith was left sprawling in the dust, choking on his own blood. By right the Vigilante should have shot him there and then, but whilst he delivered cold-hearted justice to murderers and evil-doers, he could not bring himself to shoot this poor, foolish townie. That would be the gravest mistake of his life. The Smith's honor suffered a permanent stain, and as soon as his wounds were healed he returned to his forge, working through the night. The following night, he paid a visit to the Vigilante that had spared him, spearing his throat with a metal dirk. This was the beginning of the Smith's killing spree, after which everyone would know and respect the power of metalcraft.

could you please make a backstory for it?


Sure thing.

A gentle and kind-hearted young lady, the Maid serves the people of Salem through her services as a housekeeper. She works at several different households, providing the top-most quality service. Having been left at the doorsteps of the Salem orphanage, the Maid grew up in a harsh environment. Most of the caretakers at the orphanage were apathetic and cruel towards the children. The orphanage was a shambling mess of fungi-covered walls, threadbare beds and minimal furniture. However, the Maid was able to get by mostly due to her natural talent and attitude to cleaning duties around the orphanage. She happily did all of the tasks the caretakers commanded her to do and more. However, one day the children woke up to find that one of the caretakers had fallen victim to a serial killer, having been stabbed repeatedly in the chest. The Investigator was soon on the scene, determined to find out clues as to who might have done this crime. Everyone was interrogated and the whole orphanage was searched, but to no avail. Just as night settled and the Investigator was prepared to go back home after a fruitless day, the child that would later come to be the Maid pointed out a piece of fabric next to a chair that was sitting by the body. Noone else had noticed it, but the particular pattern on the fabric belonged to a piece of clothing characteristic to only a couple of people. With this evidence, the Investigator was soon able to find and apprehend the perpetrator of the crime. He decided to adopt the Maid, and train her in the service of crime investigation whilst allowing her to do housekeeping duties around his home. He soon realized that the Maid was very perceptive in finding little clues at crime scenes, although she could not do much more than that. It was enough, though. Now, the Maid works alongside the Investigatives of Salem, helping them track down the criminals in the town and stop any further deaths.

There are things in Salem which no man dares speak of. Horrible, vile creatures of the darkness, summoned from worlds unknown to mankind in order to wreak havoc and terror on a whole new level. The Demon is a creature for a different, immortal plane. Time does not run there, and every creature submits to a cruel, sadistic Arch-Demon, the prince of the immortal realm. The Demon is one of his most loyal servants, sent to the mortal realm to reap fresh, sinful sould from their bodies and carry them back to the realm of the immortals, to suffer eternal damnation for their mis-doings. The Demon has faithfully gathered souls for countless millenia, delivering them all to his master. However, he still remained nothing but a servant, not even worthy of his master's attention. But that was about to change. The Demon recently set his sights on a town which harbored more sinners than any other. Salem. A bee-hive full of murderers, thieves and worse. Thousands of ripe, sinful souls, straight for the taking. This would change the Demon's standings forever. If he brought this many souls to the immortal world, surely he would be rewarded beyond his wildest imagination. He would begin by possessing one of the foolish, weak mortals. Then, he would use his new vassal to wreak havoc across the unsuspecting town. When the time was right, the Demon would snatch away the souls of the living and deliver them to his master, one by one. And there was nothing they could do to stop him.

Name: Reaper
Link: viewtopic.php?t=30637
Gender: Male
Summary: An evil demon who watches over the graveyard of the Town and guides the evil roles. Could incorporate that it used to be a Medium or something along the lines of that in the story.

That's okay.

"A joker amongst the mafia, the Smokescreener uses the tricks of his trade to set up convenient cover-ups for his superiors to do their job. Although he is shunned and ridiculed by most the Family for his childish nature, the Smokescreener continues to do his task for noone but the Godfather, the only man who was able to see past his jokey nature and realize his talents. The Smokescreener grew up as an orphan in the one and only orphanage in Salem. He was a playful soul, and often pranked the other children, although soon he turned his sights onto the oprhanage staff. The strict maidens of the orphanage soon became the butt of various pranks, ranging form the pin-on-the-seat jokes to pulling away chairs that they were going to sit on at the very last second. The Smokescreener became infamous for several raids on the orphanage's stash of food and sweets, using his trademakr smoke bombs in order to cover his tracks. This carried on for a long while until the orphanage caretakers had enough and decided to throw the Smokescreener out. At this point he was thirteen, and already a sly and cunning soul in addition to having honed his talent as a trickster. He found the streets of Salem ripe with opportunity, stealing from the poor and rich alike, and always getting away in a puff of smoke. However, the pickings were usually meagre and over the yeras the Smokescreener found himself slowly starving. That's when the Godfather stepped in. Noticing the Smokescreener's talents, he offered to take him into the Family. In exchange for his services in covering up scenes of crime, the Smokescreener would have a warm bed, food, clothes, and the access to as many chemicals as he needed for his work. Accepting the deal without a second thought, the Smokescreener now uses his smoke bombs to make sure that noone gets in the way of his partners of crime when they're getting their hands dirty. Well, the orphanage caretakers always said he'd grow up to be no good..."

That's fine, I can do both.



Reaper -

In Salem, they say that God guides the innocent, leaving the sinners lost and confused. But that is not true, for the evildoers of Salem also have a patron. He is the Reaper, a maleficent demon who is the "guardian angel" of all of the criminals, murderers and psychopaths in the town. He was born on a special night, when the moon was full and bad omens hung in the air. A lonely soul scurried across the graveyard, clutching secret tomes beneath the folds ofhis robe. The man were headed for the graveyard, his cold sweat sticking to his skin. It was obvious the person was incredibly frightened, but also full of a weird kind of conviction. The man's steps were sure-footed, and his brow was knotted in a determined frown. He was headed for a particular grave. It had simple engravings of a deceased woman. The man traced his hand slowly across the name on the gravestone, tears pooling at the edge of his eyes. Shaking his head rapidly, the man set out his books in front of him. He knew the ritual would be more perilous than ever, but he also knew that magic, especially of the dark kind, would be augmented today. He had to try. Reading off of the acient text, the man began reciting the ritual. The grass around him swirled, his robe fluttered, some of the gravestones even became cracked, but he still carried on. A dark circle appeared on the ground in front of him, and though he was scared the man persevered. Finally, something emerged from the dark ring. But it wasn't the man's beloved, no. It was a vile, cowled creature with a giant scythe and terrible, boned hands. It turned its' faceless hood to the man. "Are you truly that desparate to see her again?" It asked in a raspy, chilling voice. The man gulped, nodding his head. "Very well. You shall see her now." With one fell swing, the Reaper cut the man down where he stood. After that, the creature turned its' thoughts to Salem. He knew that there were many sinners there, people with malicious intentions. He would be their shephard. Under his guidance, they would bring doom to the town.

Blinder -

"Smile!" The man wasn't even given a chance to react as a bright light flashed straight in his face, accompanied by the sound of a photograph picture being developed. Ruefully rubbing his eyes, the man looked around to see who had done this to him. However, there was noone. Meanwhile, the man with the camera grinned widely to himself, looking at the picture of the surprised and shocked man. Another score for his Wall of Fame. This man, otherwise known as the Blinder, was a photographer who cared less for capturing the perfect shot and more for eliciting the perfect, priceless reactions from his poor victims. He started off as a simple, modest man, taking pictures of people as he strolled the city square of Salem. However, one day the man that he photographed complained about the flash from his camera being too bright. As he walked off, muttering curses at the Blinder, the young man stood the laughing to himself. Somehow, the found the reaction incredibly funny. He decided to try again, but with an ever brighter flash. He got the same reaction as before, but with even more shouting and cursing! How fun was that? The Blinder soon became the bane of Salem, taking pictures of people and torturing their eyes with the intolerably bright flashes from his camera. He soon became a master at this, appearing out of nowhere, taking the shot, and disappearing before the victim could do anything. Unluckily for the Blinder, one day he decided to try his tricks on someone that noone wants to mess with. The Godfather. The first part worked brilliantly, the Blinder having taken the flashy (hah) shot of the Godfather and disappearing before he could react. However, what was not planned was running into his two mafiosos on the way out. Finding himself cornered, the Blinder begged for mercy. Through the searing pain in his eyeballs, the Godfather still realized that a man like that could be useful. Having become a compulsory member of the mafia, the Blinder takes photos under the command of the Godfather now, and although he is given free reign in his work, he knows that in the end he'll live and die serving the Family.

A crazy lunatic with an unhealthy obsession for the person next door? Hell yeah.

BTW making it yuri because yuri is love yuri is life.

...

The woman looked outside her window uncomfortably. She was still there, crouching by the bush. She thought that she was not seen, or didn't care. Or maybe both. The woman was as unpredictable as she was psychotic. The town Doctor sighed heavily, going back to sit down on her bed heavily. Of course, it did not help that the bed was right opposite the window, perfectly aligned to give the woman hiding behind the bush full view of her. The Doctor pressed her fingers to her eyes. How did it all turn out like this? The Doctor shifted in her bed. She remembered that day almost perfectly. She was coming back from a house visit. It was the middle of the night, and only the stars illuminated the Doctor's way. She was prepared to get home and just fall asleep when she heard screaming coming from somewhere. Running into one of the back alleys, the Doctor spotted her. A young, dark-haired woman, coughing horribly as she sat on a pool of her own blood. She was obviously attacked. Rushing to the aid, the Doctor quickly apllied rudimentary bandaging to the wound and slung the woman across her shoulder, dragging her back to her house. There, she worked without rest to save her patient's life. Fortunately, the Doctor was able to patch up the wound, as she fell asleep right there on the work table. The first thing she heard upon waking was the sound of someone's voice whispering. "W-Was it you who saved me?" The Doctor looked up to see the young woman that she had treated already awake, looking down at her with a queer face expression. The Doctor nodded her head. "Oh... I see. T-Thank you." The woman responded in the same, weird tone. After a quick chat, the woman was finally sent home, although she seemed loath to leave. That was when the nightmare had begun. It started with "accidental" run-ins with the girl in the city square, then progressed onto strange gifts of flowers and chocolates, and finally turned into something far more sinister. She started stalking her, watching her every move. Even though the Doctor knew she would not harm her, she felt scared. The girl always seemed incredibly odd when talking to her, and recently became pretty... Pushy when they ran into each other. Gods know what she is up to...

You flatter me. I just wish I was able to pump these out faster. I feel bad when I only manage to get these out for people like, three-four days after the initial requests. :oops:

...

Conflicts broke out all over Salem. From accusations of murder to trivial things like someone knocking over someone else's flower pot, there wasn't a day where arguments could not be heard over the city square. A saying was even forged between the citizens - "As long as two people are alive in this wretched town, someone will want someone dead." And where the gallows could not sort out the problem, people turned to other methods. Knives in the night, silent murders. However, there was one man that rose above all of this and dedicated himself to putting a stop to the vile behaviours. The Preacher, a man of faith, with a gentle tongue, kind attitude and the ability to defuse any argument, no matter how heated. The Preacher was a lonely man, having lost his family when he was but a small child. His father was always a proud man, and did not allow himself to be pushed around by anyone. Unfortunately, this meant that the Preacher's father often found himself entangled in fights and bitter standoffs in the city square. The man fought for what he thought was right, but he often found himself against another equally hot-headed fellow. Their rivarly was known throughout the whole town, and whenever one said something, the other was sure to retort or mock. This went on for many months, until the Preacher's father brought himself to outright accuse the other man of being a Mafia member, and plotting against the town. This in turn caused a counter-accusation, but the town could not decide who was in the wrong. This proved to be a fatal mistake on the man's part, as his rival came to their house in the middle of the night, seeking to clean the town of another Mafia scum. The Preacher stayed safe hidden in the cupboard, but he heard the shots ring out, and when he finally crawled out, he saw his father and mother lay dead on the floor of their home. The poor, distraught child was taken into the clergy as a substitute home. There, he became a holy man and swore to be a defender of the peace in Salem. Having trained his tongue and his wits in the arts of stopping violence, the Preacher stops fueds whereever he finds them, helping rivalling citizens bury the hatchets and reforging the link of friendship between them. One day, there would be no more murder in Salem and everyone would live together in peace and harmony. One day.

Gender: Male
Summary: An evil demon who watches over the graveyard of the Town and guides the evil roles. Could incorporate that it used to be a Medium or something along the lines of that in the story.

Name: Blinder

Gender: Male
Summary: None. I'm not competely sure on what direction I want his story to go.


That's fine, I can do both.



Reaper -

In Salem, they say that God guides the innocent, leaving the sinners lost and confused. But that is not true, for the evildoers of Salem also have a patron. He is the Reaper, a maleficent demon who is the "guardian angel" of all of the criminals, murderers and psychopaths in the town. He was born on a special night, when the moon was full and bad omens hung in the air. A lonely soul scurried across the graveyard, clutching secret tomes beneath the folds ofhis robe. The man were headed for the graveyard, his cold sweat sticking to his skin. It was obvious the person was incredibly frightened, but also full of a weird kind of conviction. The man's steps were sure-footed, and his brow was knotted in a determined frown. He was headed for a particular grave. It had simple engravings of a deceased woman. The man traced his hand slowly across the name on the gravestone, tears pooling at the edge of his eyes. Shaking his head rapidly, the man set out his books in front of him. He knew the ritual would be more perilous than ever, but he also knew that magic, especially of the dark kind, would be augmented today. He had to try. Reading off of the acient text, the man began reciting the ritual. The grass around him swirled, his robe fluttered, some of the gravestones even became cracked, but he still carried on. A dark circle appeared on the ground in front of him, and though he was scared the man persevered. Finally, something emerged from the dark ring. But it wasn't the man's beloved, no. It was a vile, cowled creature with a giant scythe and terrible, boned hands. It turned its' faceless hood to the man. "Are you truly that desparate to see her again?" It asked in a raspy, chilling voice. The man gulped, nodding his head. "Very well. You shall see her now." With one fell swing, the Reaper cut the man down where he stood. After that, the creature turned its' thoughts to Salem. He knew that there were many sinners there, people with malicious intentions. He would be their shephard. Under his guidance, they would bring doom to the town.

Blinder -

"Smile!" The man wasn't even given a chance to react as a bright light flashed straight in his face, accompanied by the sound of a photograph picture being developed. Ruefully rubbing his eyes, the man looked around to see who had done this to him. However, there was noone. Meanwhile, the man with the camera grinned widely to himself, looking at the picture of the surprised and shocked man. Another score for his Wall of Fame. This man, otherwise known as the Blinder, was a photographer who cared less for capturing the perfect shot and more for eliciting the perfect, priceless reactions from his poor victims. He started off as a simple, modest man, taking pictures of people as he strolled the city square of Salem. However, one day the man that he photographed complained about the flash from his camera being too bright. As he walked off, muttering curses at the Blinder, the young man stood the laughing to himself. Somehow, the found the reaction incredibly funny. He decided to try again, but with an ever brighter flash. He got the same reaction as before, but with even more shouting and cursing! How fun was that? The Blinder soon became the bane of Salem, taking pictures of people and torturing their eyes with the intolerably bright flashes from his camera. He soon became a master at this, appearing out of nowhere, taking the shot, and disappearing before the victim could do anything. Unluckily for the Blinder, one day he decided to try his tricks on someone that noone wants to mess with. The Godfather. The first part worked brilliantly, the Blinder having taken the flashy (hah) shot of the Godfather and disappearing before he could react. However, what was not planned was running into his two mafiosos on the way out. Finding himself cornered, the Blinder begged for mercy. Through the searing pain in his eyeballs, the Godfather still realized that a man like that could be useful. Having become a compulsory member of the mafia, the Blinder takes photos under the command of the Godfather now, and although he is given free reign in his work, he knows that in the end he'll live and die serving the Family.


Absolutely amazing, I love what you did with the stories. 1000000000/10.

Incredibly sorry! I was buried with work and didn't manage to find time for writing up the backstories. Here they are now, if you still want them.

Professor -

One of the most educated minds in Salem, the Professor has great knowledge of documentation and archiving, and has been trusted with upkeeping the library of Salem. He came to this position thanks to his great interest in studying ancient tomes, as well as his penchant for always keeping an incredibly tidy bookshelf. The Professor was an incredibly curious person from his earliest years, shunning playing around with other children in the mud in order to gain new knowledge and read more books. Many adults found this behaviour incredibly queer, and they even suspected that the child has wound themselves up in some kind of satanic cult. The truth was, of course, that the young boy was simply curious about everything, but the rumors still spread round. The Professor's parents took away all of his books and encouraged him to go out and play with the others, but instead the young lad took up pen and paper and started writing his own books on his own discoveries. He explored the world around him, writing down everything he saw. Unfortunately, during one of these expeditions he ran into a bunch of bullies from the Town, kids that pushed everyone else around. Their parents told them a lot about the Professor and his queer interests, and they decided to take matters into their own hands and started beating on him. The Professor just lay down and tried to get through it, when suddenly someone stepped in. Another child, not wanting to stand for the apalling behaviour, chased off the thugs and helped the Professor back home. Vowing to never forget the act of kindness, the Professor grew up to be one of the most respected and wise people in Salem. Being in charge of Salem's main library, he has access to lots of important documents and last wills kept by various different people. Recently, the Professor also met up with the man who had once saved him back when they were children, and took in his son as an Apprentice, in order to try and pay back the debt he owed to him.

Apprentice -

A brilliant young mind with sky-high aspirations, the Apprentice has recently taken up tutleage under the keen eye of the Professor. As his right-hand, the Apprentice takes care of his elderly teacher and is ever ready to step in the face of danger in order to protect him. However, the Apprentice started off as a quite dim, uneducated child. Coming from a poor family, he spent his days scrounging the city square for food to bring back home, often looking inside trash cans and gutters, just so that he could get his hands on something edible. On his journeys, the young Apprentice would often stop by the Salem library. He knew that important people went there to read or deposit weird documents. Even people like the Mayor went there. The Apprentice figured that the person who ran the Library must have had a lot of money, and not have to worry about being hungry. That's when the Apprentice was filled with a desire to learn more, to get an education, so that he would be able to support his family and they wouldn't be hungry again. He tried his best to read from street signs and shop names, but the progress was slow and the Apprentice did not understand many things. He was incredibly frustrated, and on the verge of giving up many a time. However, he persevered. Still, it would probably all have been for nought if not the Professor, who kindly decided to take the Apprentice in, as a favour for his father who had once helped him. There, the Apprentice learned how to read, write, do numbers, and other wonderful kinds of things. He wore smart clothes and had three meals a day, and was even able to send some money back home. With time, he had become so skilled that he was pretty much able to run the library on itself, a task that he would ever be ready to take over if something ill befell the Professor. However, that would not happen as long as the Apprentice had a say.
