This might get it's own site at some point but for now it's just to store character information. See game here http://www.exisle.net/mb/index.php?/topic/75323-explorers-of-ariqua-rated-r/page__st__140 for info on characters to take from.
Name: Damien Marlow
Species: Hume/Weretiger
Age: 154, but outward appearance in his mid-to-late twenties
Appearance, Human form: 6'1", lean but muscular, shoulder-length darkish hair, brown eyes, sometimes wears mustache and goatee. (Has changed his look over the decades but this is what he looks like now.)
Appearance, Cat form: Orange/white/black striped tiger, large.
Skills: As a human he is an excellent archer and hunter/tracker. Owns a crossbow resembling a rifle with a bow on top, as well as other hunting weapons. He's faster and stronger than a normal hume. He can talk to other Were telepathically, can sense danger as a tiger would, and has enhanced senses of smell, hearing and taste. He can transform into her beast form at will these days, as well as a half-form, but has no choice during a full moon.
Family: None surviving that he knows about. He has had relationships over the decades with Hume women, but never anything serious nor were there offspring.
History: Damien was bitten by a female weretiger well over 100 years ago when he was a teenager visiting friends in the jungles of Venn, the Elviri nation. He spent many years with the weretiger who bit him, as he had no place else to go. Later she was killed and Damien fled. He survived on his own, blending in with normal Humes, traveling from Venn to Sandesina, then to the northern half of Telgar after it had been conquered and began to flourish. After traveling back to Sandesina, specifically Delmi, he met Elizabeth Cousland two years ago. He was hired onto the Voyager by the Sandesinan Crown to help map out the Salaran islands.
On the ship, Damien has a specially made cabin, reinforced underneath the wood with steel bars. The door is heavier than usual and has bolts and heavy locks on the outside. He is locked in should they be on the water during a full moon; otherwise, he roams the land to run and hunt. He is old enough that he can control his beast side when transformed, and will protect her friends in her this form. There is always the pull deep inside to give into his wild side, but he keeps maintains control after all this time.

Name: Hannah Storm
Race: Hume (ghost)
Age: 19 when she was killed (about a seventy-five or so years ago)
Physical description: Average height, slender, pale skin when alive; long, straight, black hair, green eyes. She has vampire bite marks on each inner thigh where the Shadow Walker bit her to inflict pain and in her neck where he drank of her life force. There is blood forever on her neck where he became too rough and killed her.
Abilities: As a ghost Hannah can reveal herself to others, be transparent, or remain invisible; move solid objects and wield them, although this takes effort and is limited to the size of the object; she can pass through solid objects or into them for brief periods of time; move from place to place instantly in whatever area she is inhabiting. She can also possess people people for brief periods of time although eventually they are able to drive her out. Psions are just about immune, as are most other supernatural creatures.
Telepathic communication with others with that ability.
She needs to be anchored to someone physically in order to move away from where she is locked into.
Skills: TBD as she was only 19 and a university student at the time of death.
Family: None left, but she had a father, mother, and siblings who are all dead now; although she would have family descended from her siblings.
Her mother was descended from Reece Hadrian's family. He had moved to live in Delmi and was one of the first Dragonriders outside of the dragons' original home. Her father was a professor at the women's university, and both her parents were progressive for the times. She had two older brothers and a younger sister.
History: Hannah is from northern Sandesina. She was a university student at an all women's school continuing her studies in history, art, and education, and longing to travel someday to see the world she was learning more about. She wanted to know about the past, the present, and the future. She was curious, bright, rich, pretty, and had a promising future ahead of her.
One night she met a mysterious and handsome young man at the opera, Janos Torok. He captured her attention like no man had ever done, indeed she'd never been that interested in pursuing young men like her friends. She wanted more out of life. But she felt herself drawn to him and let her inhibitions and guard down.
Janos turned out to be a centuries old Shadow Walker vampire, and Hannah was killed when he lost himself in his sexual rape of her mind and body, as well as her life force. Unfortunately, Janos wasn't completely sane. He kept her dead body in a deep cellar for several years, allowing it to rot away to bones. Sometime after she died, he'd performed a ritual that would bind her to him so long as he kept at least her skull, which he'd painted in his and her blood. From that day forth, her ghost was bound to the Shadow Walker and forced to obey him.
Finally Janos was suspected of nefarious deeds and forced to flee his home. He buried Hannah's warded bones hidden in the cellar of his house. Then, going by Janos but different last names, he went from place to place, city to city, country to country living his life until he got into the slave business. Hannah has been trapped on a slaver ship for the past ten years and has seen much horror and abuse of those that have been captured. But there was nothing she could do about it as the Shadow Walker still controlled her.
The killing of the Shadow Walker vampire that controlled her has now freed her, she can take possession of her skull (or someone else can but then they would control her). Since her bones are still buried somewhere she is forever tied to the earthly plane, but she is curious to see more of the world and wants to take vengeance on those that would hurt others.
And just fyi, this would be Janos, one of the Shadow Walkers that someone in the group killed on the slaver ship:

Name: Gregori
Species: Shadowalker
Age: 1200 give or take a decade
Appearance: 6ft 6, slim, long white hair, almost albino, pale blue eyes with a pink tint.
Unusual for his kind he retains some of his humanity. He calls nowhere home and travels the known world continually seeking a sense of purpose. He has watched others of his kind become nothing more than hunters, killers and has vowed not to turn, so he lives a solitary life, only seeking out others when he needs to feed, taking only enough of their lifeforce to sustain him. Sometimes he finds someone who interests him and follows them, living life vicariously through them.
Gregori is not a 'good guy', but neither is he a 'bad guy' circumstances will dictate which way he goes

Name: Akassa Pelletier, daughter of Maximillian [brother of Kat]
Species: Hume/Werepanther
Age: 120, but outward appearance in her late twenties
Appearance, Human waist length black hair, worn tightly braided, yellow/green eyes, 5’ 10”, muscular and supple.
Appearance, Cat form: Black panther, long tail, muscular.
Skills: As a human she is a proficient hunter, her weapons of choice are knives. Her hybrid nature makes her stronger, faster and more agile than a normal hume. She can talk to other Were telepathically, has enhanced senses [smell, hearing and taste]. She can transform at will [unless weakened by lack of food or injury], she was born with the ability to resist the lure of the full moon.
Family: Her father Maximillian passed a decade ago, her hume mother long before that. She had an older sister who was captured by slavers. Akassa has spent the past 20 years tracking her with no luck.
She allowed herself to be captured by slavers in an attempt to find her sister, Adrienne. The slavers were smarter than she gave them credit for, they have starved her and beaten her regularly to keep her weak.
