PLAYER NAME: Claire CHARACTER NAME: Peony hislittleflower I AM: OPTING IN
INFO: Peony is a nymph (fairy) with unknown heritage. Ideally, I would like her parentage to remain unknown to her as it is one of her primary motivators. Feel free to take liberties as to what she smells like.
One small note - Peony's blood is addictive for certain undeads. If you want that to impact, just let me know, otherwise I will assume it doesn't :)
Ancestors of her specific tribe of werewolves contributed to the colonisation and oppression of the Native American people, stealing spiritual practices from them and settling on their lands. OOC I'm happy to play this by ear as I'm aware it's a sensitive topic. Ren is aware of the history of her people and is sensitive to it. She does however, follow stolen naming conventions and is known as Rages-Against-The-Odds.
Her father was known as Swift-Claw who was also a werewolf. Her mother is human. I'm happy for Ren to be recognised as a werewolf or something 'other' than human. In canon, vampires usually refer to werewolves as having a sour or unpleasant smell about them like ozone.
PLAYER NAME: chels CHARACTER NAME: danny johnson I AM: OPTING IN
INFO: gurl u already know. northern shoshone/southern paiute on his mother's side, with paternal european roots (his dad was whiter than white, with danish/swedish/norwegian ancestry).
PLAYER NAME: Cadence CHARACTER NAME: Ptolemais Cline I AM: OPTING IN
INFO: Ptolemais is from the south island of New Zealand. idk what that would smell like. she wears perfume that's an earthy, patchouli bergamot smokey type of scent. Hygiene isnt like her number one priority and she'll wear clothes multiple times before washing so she probably smells sweaty too
PLAYER NAME: Brandon CHARACTER NAME: Dean Winchester I AM: OPTING IN
INFO: Dean was born in Lawrence, Kansas. His father and mother were also from Lawrence, Kansas. Dean has also been all over the 48 contiguous United States, and also, briefly, white knuckled a flight to Scotland. He has a drinking problem and likes his bourbon. And when he had her, he worked on his Chevy Impala "Baby," whenever he could, so he could vaguely smell like motor oil. He's also a fast food and burger/pie junkie. Less-so while he reenacts this land is your land. (Dean also showers, but takes to the camping aspect probably better than the other two.)
CHARACTER NAME: Stefan Salvatore interpersonally I AM: OPTING IN
INFO: Stefan Salvatore was born in Mystic Falls, Virginia, which, in his time, had been settled by the Vikings and nearby werewolves. IDEK. Just go with it. He's also what's called, "a doppelganger," and his ancient ancestor who looked exactly like him named Silas was Greek in origin. He's spent significant time in Chicago, and most recently, he made a makeshift home in Savannah, Georgia. He is very well groomed and gels his hair. Keeps deodorant on him. Showers.
CHARACTER NAME: Riley Finn advertising I AM: OPTING IN
INFO: Riley is a corn-fed Iowa boy. But, then went to basic training, has been all around the world and most recently has spent significant time in Sunnydale, CA, which is two hours north of LA, around thereabouts of Santa Barbara. No real scents to note, which is probably something, right? He's a super regimented former soldier.
PLAYER NAME: Robin CHARACTER NAME: Armand I AM: OPTING IN
INFO: Armand is from Northern India, specifically from Delhi. If he can pinpoint a time period, it's medieval, 1500's. However he was "raised" and turned into a vampire in Europe (specifically Venice and Paris), by Europeans (his Maker was an ancient Roman). Vampirism is a given in his scent. He likes to be clean, so is unlikely to smell of blood unless he's recently fed. Astarion gave him perfume for Christmas that's warm and wood-smoky; it has notes of leather, rose, agarwood, vetiver and saffron. He wears it most of the time.
CHARACTER NAME: Rupert Giles I AM: OPTING IN
INFO: British, typical white man. Giles usually just smells like soap, tea leaves, book dust, and maybe grain alcohol if he's been drinking. Occasional cigarettes, but don't tell Buffy. He's also in debt to a demon (Eyghon) whose symbol is tattoed on his arm.
CHARACTER NAME: Tony Stark I AM: OPTING IN
INFO: American (New York), by way of Italy on his mother's side, and maybe some Ashkanezi Jewish heritage on his father's side. Tony usually smells expensive and masculine, think typical rich man cologne, though if he's stressed he'll also carry scents of sour coffee and a metallic edge from the nanobots in his blood.

PLAYER NAME: isabella CHARACTER NAME: august / saber / travis I AM: OPTING IN
AUGUST: born in a tiny town that doesn't exist in the real world (it's close to kenai, alaska) august was dropped at a group home for magically inclined children and adopted at age 10. he's got a doomed narrative that i can tldr you another time when/if it comes up, but basically super super deep into demonic magic & allows possession for more power. he's got nasty aura that'll infect rooms/people if he's around them for too long and an eidetic memory boosted by magic so he carries tons of information having grown up devouring books/tomes/grimoires/etc, spent hours in musty libraries and places he shouldn't be. this is already so long i'll stop. also his eyes can get creepy reflective in the dark.
SABER: cw mentions of death of mother during childbirth, child abuse, murder, grooming OLD (100-ish) and kept alive by a cosmic horror he fondly refers to as "mom" through a contract. lots of mommy issues this one. boston native, neglectful/abusive father who blamed him for his mother's death but this doesn't bother him??? shipped off to the army after he tried to kill a fellow student > shipped off to the cia > trained to be a weapon > rogue operative in russia. absolutely insatiable appetite and is missing guilt or fear from his vocabulary. smells like cigarettes, citrus and vetiver.
TRAVIS: from a fictional town called wiskayok, new jersey in 1996, but got stranded in the canadian forests for ~two years after a plane crash. teen boy that came with all the macho sexism the 90s and the bad influence his father gave him & had to quickly learn hey, that's not helpful when ur surrounded by your little brother, 12 girls, an amputated coach, and your father is dead! his survival instincts paved his path and he went through a LOT in those forests god these blurbs feel so long i'm sorry anyway cannibalism in the woods and traumabonding. smells fresh, like the outdoors, and sometimes cigarettes or weed if he's been around nat. he doesn't use any cologne. insert boysmells here.

PLAYER NAME: Koke CHARACTER NAME: John Murphy I AM: OPTING IN
INFO: Ancestry wise my headcanon is he's Irish-American + generic white Canadian. He's some 3rd or 4th generation space-born, though, so probably smells different like... the difference between aeroplane air and fresh air? If that makes sense. Other canon things likely effecting his scent: he's been exposed to low-level radiation enough to increase his tolerance, The Ark genetically tweaked him to be a universal donor, and he's got a birth-control implant in his arm. CRAU additions that you're already aware of but are available for Good Stab to sniff out: alien symbiote in his brain, Danny's heart in his chest, soul-bonded to Gilia so gets mermaidy bling (and therefore associated sea scent) when it rains or he's near large bodies of water. Probably smells like a real weird mix to Good Stab, honestly.
CHARACTER NAME: Josias di Jaconissa I AM: OPTING IN
INFO: Antiva is an amalgam of Italian and Spanish stuff, so those but Different somehow. Has a lump of Fade magic in his hand, the scent of which I'm gonna say is like eating an extra strong Fisherman's Friend. Also smells like actual tiger quite a bit, now.
CHARACTER NAME: Mara Sov I AM: OPTING IN
INFO: She's been unmade and remade at the atomic level so: complete absence of any ancestral, regional or cultural markers, yet somehow still registers as Earth (as opposed to fantasy non-Earth) human. Scent of ozone, starlight, the void, and jasmine.
CHARACTER NAME: Takeshi Kovacs I AM: OPTING IN
INFO: American with Swedish & Dutch ancestry and some genetic modifications. Because Good Stab will just be smelling Elias Ryker's birth sleeve :)
