{purpose}
Okay! Now you're probably wondering why we decided on making this wonderful establishment. Well, everyone needs practice staying in character right? Not to mention, it can get a little, how shall a say, boring waiting for someone to post in an rp. I'm sure we all hate waiting. So, why not kill some time here at the character tavern, right? That's what I thought! Now, onto the rules!

{rules} o1. Follow the Gaia TOS.
o2. Follow the guidelines outlined in the CPD announcement and consider using some of the tips to help develop your character.
o3. Respect everyone who is here. That means, no flaming anyone. This place is just for a little fun and to help develop your characters. If I catch you flaming, I will not hesitate to tear you to shreds.
o4. Are you required to stay in the three paragraph minimum? Well, I'm going to say no to that one. But don't type crap either. Make it interesting!
o5. Keep in mind, the tavern should be used for practicing purposes. Maybe you want to practice your introductory paragraphs? Or perhaps your not that good at action scenes. Just remember, this isn't a place for full blown roles plays
o6. Have fun!

{Setting}
Finally a break in the action of constant roleplaying. You take the opportunity to sit down under a tree and rest your eyes. You'll only stay for a second, of course... but you are so tired... and it can't be helped- You fall asleep.
Curious, curious. You are suddenly up again, but you don't recognize the surrouding land. It seems that you are still leaning against a tree, but your companions are gone. Up ahead, a dirt road winds up the side of a hill and in the distant meets the gates of a village. You stand up, brushing yourself off, and make your way towards the quaint little town.
Welcome to the Character Tavern! Located in the ever pleasant Well Springs Village, just outside of Fellowship Forest and about a mile below the Winterbourne Mountains. To the southeast lies the Equivocal River that changes its course quite frequently and in the West are the Burning Plains where no one dares to venture.
Within Well Springs Village, the tavern is three doors down from the General Store and sits between ---- in progress ----
The weather is currently... Cloudy and warm
The time of day is... Early evening
Big events are... Free drinks for OPENING NIGHT!
Your bartender is... {Character Name}
The drink of the day is... Well Springs Apple Vodka.
The dinner special is... Fresh fish from the Equivocal River-- why is it still moving?
News from beyond... There seems to be some kind of gathering taking place just outside of Fellowship Forest.

Syl stood at the swinging gates to a tavern curiously named. The Character's Tavern? Surely the idiot who runs this place can't make money... but then again, there might be some lowlifes here who need someone dead...
Shrugging off his distaste he quickly pulled the black cloak closer into his body and pushed the doors aside. Smiling he slipped towards the darkness of the furthest booth away from the door, but on his way he stopped and looked around. He hadn't noticed it when he first walked in... it was dark. A few candles on the bar but nothing else illumintated the tavern. Some grand opening. Perhpas there's a free meal to be had in back, I do rather need something... bloody.
Smirking to himself Syl slipped quietly past the tables. The whisper of his cloak sounded more like a slight turn in the air currents rather than a flap. In seconds Syl stood behind the counter.
"Acursed light." Syl's wrist flicked out and two of the candles' wicks fell to the bartop. Smiling he slowly reached out with his left hand to grasp the handle of the door. A vibrant fuschia pulsed on his ring finger.
"Damnation! I'm not alone!?"
Syl turned quickly and pressed himself into the shadows awaiting whatever vistor was coming his way...

 Hanabusa Aido((Oooooh how intresting! This looks like it'll be fun! OC, and Cannons from different animes and mangas!))Hanabusa walked, peacefully, through the dying day. The sun was pretty much gone and he was restless as ever. Kain had complained about how he was pretty much jumping off the walls and told him to go out for a while. It was a vaction from class at the moment. No one had any classes and it made him...antsy. He saw a large tree a head and something peeking from behind it.
He walked slowly up to the tree, his eyes sharp and ready for anything when a crow dived out of the tree and right at him. He jumped back faster than most could see, his eyes wide. "Oh!" he cried. "That scared me!" He watched the crow retreat back into the tree and glare at him with its beady black eyes. He shrugged it off as nothing and kept walking on. Thats when he saw the tavern.
'The Character's Tavern' he though simply. 'Sounds..nice' He shrugged and closed the distance between him and the tavern. He paused outside to dust off his black pants real quick and tehn makes sure his hair and shirt were alright. 'Wonder if they have any blood?' he thought as he pushed open the door to the dim tavern.
As soon as Hanabusa entered the building he was aware he wasn't alone. It wasn't that hard to see, him being a nocturnal vampire and all. Still, he could see the person pressed into the shadows and figured it be better if he ignored the person. He sat at the bar and the bartender really didn't pay mind to the young Night Class Student. He watched a flame flicker, showing him Syl's face for a second. Hanabusa could see that Syl didn't want to be noticed and but for some reason it really ticked him off.
Hanabusa's eyes grew sharp once more and he froze the candle's flame. His ice drifted down the wick of the candle until the whole thing was frozen. "Just.." he started, standing up once again. "What is your problem?" he asked Syl, a deadly venom creeping into his voice.

Syl's eyes narrowed and the crimson hue flashed dangerously for a moment. In the darkness Syl was able to quickly scan his new... threat? Perhaps that wasn't so, still he decided that it would be better to keep himself on guard.
Striding slowly from the shadows and giving the intrudered a wide girth, he circled. Slowly screwtenizing, no visable weapons, no apparent threatening natural weapons. Easing into the situation Syl stepped within two-arms length of this other dark character.
"Evening." The wind nearly emptied of flavor and texture. The air around them became as cold as Syl's voice. In the brief moment it took him to speak his fangs glinted in the light that dared try to pierce the darkness.
Offering his left hand he held it palm up to this unknown walker of darkness. As the cloak fell away it exposed his forearm. An ornate bracer with fuschia jewels and black runes almost glittered with it's own malice. His chest blended in and out of focus melding into and forming from the darkness, mirroring the conflict of interests in Syl's mind. At the right of his waist an elaborate, blood red hilt was screaming silently for a taste of blood. Syl however knew to act more approprately.
"Your name and your purpose." It wasn't a question.

Hanabusa AidoHanabusa watched Syl, even though he didn't seem to be a threat, though he had weapons. Hanabusa adjusted his red shirt, he liked this shirt too much to want to fight in it and fighting wasn't so much his style. He just got angry easy, but he really didn't really like fighting, it just wasn't his style.
He turned easily on the bar stool and leaned back against the bar, while the bar tender set a glass of water by him. He picked it up and sipped it lightly, still watching this other person. He watched his fangs glint and then he looked into the water, careful not to let his temper get ahold of him. His eyes were still very sharp, studing Syl for the closest move to an attack.
"Its rude to ask other people for their names and purposes without first introducing yourself" he said calmly. He was raised as a spoiled, sightly mannerful Level B Vampire and thats how he was planning to stay but still he added, "My name is Hanabusa Aido, I'm from the Cross school in town. I came to dispell some of my energy that has seemed to gather during the long day." He shrugged and moved the glass of water swiftly so some slooshed over the edge and he caught it, froze it and then put it in his mouth. He crunched on the ice, not really caring if that was that well mannered or not.

((Sorry for not being here, finals week is catching up with me. lots of little projects...))
Syl's hand twitched at this upstart fool addressed him so. Obviously his reputation wans't as well known on this side of the continent. Pity, truly it was, he'd have to make his name known here as well, and that was trouble.
"You walk a fine line young one. But I suppose is should..." Syl watched the water slosh over and freeze. The methodic crunching served to reminded Syl of the many skulls that had made the very sound under his own blade. "I don't take threats lightly."
Syl pointed his left hand to the floor and dropped his index and middle finger onto Hanabusa's thigh. He lowered his gaze and lifted the cowl off of his face with his right hand. A vibrant purple glazed in what light was there to illuminate. Syl's hair fell into perfect place and danced in and out of his vision as he stared into the eyes of this boy. His irises, red like the bright sheen of fresh blood, illuminated as fury passed behind them. A long scar ran from behind his right ear, down his neck, and disappeared underneath his cloak at the shoulder.
"Watch your tongue or I'll take it." With that Syl removed his hand and sat next to the young man. He faced the bartender and, ignoring Hanabusa for the moment, asked for a "Nagatone Ale."
The bartender looked confused and muttered something about not knowning what that was. Syl sighed, removed himself from the table and went into the back. The bartender, instead of objecting and facing some undesireable fate, decided to let Syl proceed. Minutes later Syl returned and sat on the other end of the bar with a red bubbling liquid.
His rapier scabbard shifted and Syl placed a hand on the hilt to situate it. Once he was through he ran his hand along his waist to check his other weapons. Nodding he went back to his drink.

Hanabusa Aido((Its alright, school has been taking alot of time out my computer time as well.))
Hanabusa sighed, looked like he wasn't going to get a name. Oh well, some people never really learned. He ignored Syl's threats, not really finding them intresting and sloshed his water around more. He was quite bored and this other vampire wasn't much for company. He wished Kuran was here or maybe even Kain, that'd be intresting.
"Threats or no threats I don't fear you, I hope you're aware" he said, unfreezeing some of his water so he could drink some again. He watched the other vampire go into the back and come back with a bubbling liquid that didn't look in the least like it was good to drink. That reminded Hanabusa what he had come here for.
His eyes snapped up onto the bartender. "Do you have blood?" he asked. The bartender watched him for a moment, maybe he got the gaze in Hanabusa's eyes that ment 'you better or else I'll be taking yours' and he hurried into the back. He came back empty handed, muttering something about not having anymore human blood.
A sigh escaped Aido lips and he turned back to his 'company'. "So do you have a name or do I call you what I like?"
