A strange whimsical place where the fourth wall is broken and you can chat with some of my characters.




Temporary Characters (characters that will only be here for a short period of time):
Lev



Faust is a reaper with an interest in men. He has the appearance of a 26 year old male. Two piercings adorn his left eyebrow. He appears to be secretive about his family. Calm and cool on the outside, not always the case on the inside. He can have a raging temper. Competitive and does not like to lose. Viceroy's employer and owner of The Reaper, a pub in the shady parts of Voltra. Viceroy Light is an assassin. Bisexual with high expectations. He wound up permanently employed to Faust when he lost a bet. Don't make bets you can't win with reapers. He is 25. Knows a lot about Faust from living with him and Faust being uncharacteristically open with him. Has a 'tude. Too snarky for his own good. Faust teases him often. Tries to tease Faust, but usually fails. Quick to boredom. Hotheaded and makes mistakes easily due to some arrogance. Does not know Faust's real age. His tattoo on his cheek can actually be scanned by a barcode scanner, but the item that shows up changes implying that the tattoo could be enchanted. Neither of them are human. That part is obvious though.


You have been walking for quite some time and appear to be going farther and farther into the shadier parts of Voltra. You begin to feel nervous and glance around your surroundings expecting to be mugged or worse. You hope that you will reach your destination soon. You begin to smell something delicious and see a lit sign in the distance. As you draw closer you see what the sign says. "The Reaper: Pub Fare and Drinks". You check the address and it appears this is the place you were looking for.
You walk in and look around. There is a staircase to the left that you assume leads to the living quarters. You see some couches and booths in the back for lounging and privacy. There are tables and chairs up front. You scan the tables a bit and notice a blue haired man lying on one looking bored. You make a face at him and shake your head deciding to look around at the rest of the pub. Your eyes roam over to the bar area. You see another man sitting by the bar that appears to be sharpening a... scythe. He looks up from his work and when he notices you he does a double take.
"Hey, Viceroy, why are there people here?"
The blue haired man, who you now know is named Viceroy, sits up quickly.
"Oh, yeah, I actually opened up shop for once."
The dark haired man raises an eyebrow. "And you didn't think to tell me?"
Viceroy just shrugs and hops down from the table.
"Wait, are you even wearing pants?"
Viceroy looks around a bit. "Nope."
"Go put some pants on."
Viceroy harumphs and wanders off somewhere you assume to put some pants on.
The other man sighs and shakes his head. You watch the scythe vanish into thin air. He walks behind the bar and begins polishing a glass. He turns to you, "Can I get you anything? My name is Faust by the way."

(And I think we're open?)

This is a character chat/hangout. You can talk to each other, talk to all the characters, or talk to one character specifically and blatantly ignore all the others even though they are right there watching. Ask them questions about their life, what they think of Voltra, and what they think of the NPCs. Everyone is welcome. (even certain lovely NPCs)


I have 148 and you might have a chance to win some. I'm looking for banners for this hangout. Think you can make one better than mine (which most certainly you can)? Then let's see what you can come up with. There are certain requirements though:
⁍Two are required. One larger one to be displayed here in the hangout and a little one that will go in signatures.
⁍Appearance should have similar elements to the one I made. (at night, cityscape)
⁍Sign must be visible and say "The Reaper: Pub Fare and Drinks" or just "The Reaper"
⁍The more vintage the better (colors and building style for the pub)
⁍Designs must be your own original work, art theft will not be tolerated
Everything and anything else is up to you.


⁍Bonus points if they have a fancy border
⁍Bonus points if something is animated
Note that these do not determine the winner. Designs will still be judged based on niceness and appearance not by how many doohickies are added to it.


⁍First place gets 100 , certificate that will be hung up in the pub, something named after them (either a food or a drink) that will appear on the menu that will be added here at a later date, and their banners will be used here
⁍Second place gets 40 and something named after them
⁍Third place gets 8
There may be a possible surprise prize.

Please post entries under a spoiler.

(Edited because I forgot something pretty important.)

Nala hesitated outside the door for a breath before finally opening it up. Typically she wasn't one to go alone, but the urge for something new was too heavy to deny. Curious by nature, once her brown eyes had landed on this place there was no going back. She put on a smile and walked in through the door.

"Luke?!" She gasped, smile broad on her face now. Not wanting to be impolite, she turned her gaze to the man behind the bar and did a small bow. "Hello there, sir. Nice to meet you." The smile never wavered.

*chases a stray cat into the thread* Hello everyone!!
*notices nala and luc* Yay my victims... Friends are here! ^^

*grabs nala's mid wave and kisses the top of it* How do you do madam?!

"Yes, of course it needed sharpening. It can never be too sharp..." Faust said only glancing up slightly from his work. He wasn't really wanting to be around people, but Viceroy had decided to actually be responsible for once.
Faust nodded a hello towards Nala and gave a pretty convincing smile, but faking was one of his specialties. He just hoped Viceroy would come back dressed decently.
Faust makes a face at Jazz's PDA then turns to Luc.
"Sure, but since I am a responsible pub owner I'd need to see some ID," he said with a smirk.

Viceroy plods back down the stairs, this time with pants, when he notices people have actually come into the pub.

"Oh, so we have customers already."

Viceroy stands there staring stupidly. He wasn't entirely sure, but did the skull just wink at him? He wondered if she was flirting.

Faust snorts at Viceroy's expression. He composes himself enough to discreetly take the tea pouch and begins prepping the drink.
"Eh, business has been okay. Viceroy forgets to open up shop most of the time or just chooses not to. There's also our other jobs...," he says trailing off.

Viceroy perches himself on a bar stool and watches Faust work.
He leans in and says under his breath to Faust, "Nice, now hopefully no one asks what our other jobs are."
Faust raises an eyebrow saying quietly, "Something tells me they already know."

( Thanks. I'm still working on banners and the aesthetics though.
I found the gif someplace a few years ago. David Tennant is adorable. Ten also happens to be my favorite doctor.
I don't mind. I'll probably be doing a bunch of OOC snippets when I make updates or people begin joining the contest. People can come as themselves or be in character. Doesn't matter. Just as long as they're enjoying themselves.)

*looks at nala and interjects* I got something you can sip on nala chan just depends how pg you want it.

Nala whipped her head around, mouth agape at what had just left Jazz's mouth. She was at a loss for words. After a few seconds, she finally mustered up a glare and flicked him off. Not without a small smile threatening to reveal itself before quickly turning away so that he wouldn't see it. 'Jerk.' She thought, snickering to herself.

"Didn't Gabe remind you to bring your ID?" She questioned Luc while waiting for a response from Fraust.

"Gabe? Ha," Luc snorted. "Can you imagine him wanting me near humans at all, let alone a place which requires ID? In fact....can you even see us queuing for one for ages? Ha. We don't have all those silly human documents one needs to have one anyway. Birth certificates? Heh, those didn't exist at all when I was born."

He sighed and stretched out a little, "All I know is that my birthday was on the last night of a specific time... I guess in human time I'd say the last day of the year I guess, but years isn't what they were back then. I don't know how to explain time to you."
