Hello loves, Sadly Admin Kourt is signing on for the last time to give one final message. As most of you have been informed or realized, we are closing the chapter on Darkest Hour. The amazing roleplay made it over a year and it’s brought a lot of tears and happiness. So many people have spent so many nights working on this roleplay building it from the ground up and helping me bring this dream of mine to life. This started as an idea over 6 years ago and I’ve spent countless time telling people about it, I’m just so honored that I finally got to play it out with a group of amazing people.

This group was made by so many people and I’ll never forget the work or the help that I received when it came to this group. Every day I think of those who helped this group thrive and kept us going. All of their handwork made this place excel. In a time when roleplays die in a month, this made it well over that. No matter what Darkest Hour went through I will never not be proud of all the work spilled across these pages. It’s truly been such an honor to have this group. There has been a lot of ups and downs in this rp, but no matter what we’ve had some good times here. I’ve met some amazing people because of this group and I’ll carry those friendships long after Tumblr dies out.

This is also my special thanks to both Elly and Becca who didn’t start this journey with me, but they did finish it with me. I have truly loved all the late night calls where we reworked lore, plotted events, and just came together as friends. I couldn’t ask for a better admin team by my side. You two will never know how much you mean to me, I truly love both of you so much.

Once more thank you to all of you for making this place so special, it’s been such an honor to watch your characters grow and develop. This group wouldn’t have been near the success it was without you all.

I love each and every one of you for the time that you gave to this roleplay. I look forward for our next adventure together and chapter together.

Love always,

Kourtney

P.S. Stay tuned….this is just the start.

GENERAL INFO

NAME: Mason Mahir GENDER/PRONOUNS: gender non-conforming, he/him, they/them DATE OF BIRTH: February 29th, 1992 PLACE OF BIRTH: Quebec, Canada CURRENT RESIDENCE: Manhattan  OCCUPATION: Radio Host at Siren Sounds FACE CLAIM: Avan Jogia

SUPERNATURAL INFO

SPECIES: Fae SUBCATEGORY: Siren MEMBER OF THE FAE COURT: Member AGE THEY APPEAR: 30

BIOGRAPHY

Trigger Warnings: Divorce

The road from Quebec to California was a long and tiring one, but lucky for Mason, he slept most of the way. His journey began when he was 5 years old, when his mother made the bold decision to move for not only a change in scenery, but for a change in lifestyle. Mason was much too young to remember the details of his parents’ divorce, but he knew enough to know that his mother was not happy taking care of two children and run a house. Mason had a solid excuse though, he actually was a child, his father on the other hand was a full-grown adult that acted like a child. A divorce and a flight later, Mason and his, now happier, mother landed in California.

It was a calculated decision from his mother, California was the home to her parents, and they welcomed their daughter and grandson with open arms. Living with his grandparents meant that Mason grew up in a very relaxed atmosphere, there was no shouting, no fights, just plenty of good food and good memories and with the beach as a backyard, life was a lazy Sunday stroll which defined his personality. Of course, life was not without its twists. As a child of the fae, all were eager to see how his abilities would manifest and it was with a deep sigh the three elder dryads had to come to terms with the new siren among them. His father's genes shone through, and one that his mother prayed would be the only one.

Though Mason never had the urge to contact his father it the realization that here was another part of his life that his father had ruined angered the child. The beach and the ocean were treasured places but now as these restrictions were put in place forcing Mason to seek them out away from humans and somewhat in secrecy as to not revel what he truly was, he grew to resent the man even more. Never been happier when his mother re-married, Mason was glad to say he had nothing but good things in his home life but good things were not happening in his school life. It was through sheer luck he graduated high school and though he preferred not to, college was the inevitable next step but it didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out he was not made for higher education. So, before he got kicked out of college, he dropped out after a year. There was more to life than rigid structures, be it school, a restrictive mindset, or even the gender binary, Mason simply set life on cruise control and went where the wind took them.

Reality checks, however, were dished out on the regular forcing Mason to take up multiple jobs over the years to support this chill lifestyle of his ranging from being a personal assistant to a dogwalker and even a street performer, Mason did it all.  but tips could only afford him a hot meal and that too only sometimes. Big believer fate and things happening on their own time, Mason's lucky break came in the form of a talent agent while he was out busking. Not one to pass up an opportunity, Mason went for the audition and before they knew it Fever Dream was born. It took a lot of work to get the ball rolling, but this type of work Mason found he didn't mind, it was fun at least. Slowly but surely, they went from getting random gigs at local bars, to playing at small indie festivals and soon released a full-fledged studio album. Fame came naturally and Mason whom was still focusing on the fun times failed to see the cracks that were forming. Chalking the split up to creative differences, three years together fell apart in less than 3 weeks.

That feeling of loss hit harder than expected. Mason never had a plan B, no backups or a safety net to catch when they fell, so it was to the odd jobs they returned, and like a true vagabond, Mason never could settle down in a place for long, the constant need for change took them all over the country, a few months here, a few there, home was wherever he wanted it to be. But with funds running out, Mason moved back to his parents', who also moved to settle in New York. It felt a bit like defeat, but he missed them a great deal. Lofty dreams were never their thing, but he would've liked to have come back successful not as some washed up rockstar, still, there were things he was glad for and there was always hope for things to fall back into place.

❝ …IT MAY…BE WITHIN MY POWER TO TAKE A LIFE; THIS AWESOME RESPONSIBILITY MUST BE FACED WITH GREAT HUMBLENESS AND AWARENESS OF MY OWN FRAILTY. ABOVE ALL, I MUST NOT PLAY AT GOD. ❞

GENERAL INFO

NAME: Raul Vargas GENDER/PRONOUNS: Cis Man, He/Him DATE OF BIRTH: April 6, 1982 PLACE OF BIRTH: New York, New York CURRENT RESIDENCE: Astoria, Queens OCCUPATION: Trauma Surgeon FACE CLAIM: Adan Canto

SUPERNATURAL INFO

SPECIES: Seraph AGENCY POSITION: Seraph Leader

BIOGRAPHY

Trigger Warnings: death, cancer

For the first few years of Raul Vargas’s life, nothing happened. At least nothing out of the ordinary. He was the first-born child – a son at that – and as such, the trajectory of his life had more or less been decided for him before he had even been born. He was the heir, the future protector of the family legacy, and the shoulder upon which all of the responsibilities would lay. This was nothing new; Raul had been socialized to accept these things as his lot in life from the moment of his birth, as had his father before him, and any son that he should have in the future. This all came to a head, though, when his younger sister, Rosa, was born. Raul was five years old and already everything his parents could ever have hoped for – he was serious and articulate, the spitting image of his father, and he carried himself with an arrogance that could only be born of knowing your place in the world. Rosa, though, was the opposite. She was fragile and small for her age; it seemed like she was always in and out of the hospital. Just days before her first birthday, she was diagnosed with leukemia. As unfortunate as this was, the Vargas family was prepared to tackle this problem head on, as they would any other that came their way. They even thought that they were more aptly prepared than other families. After all, there was no expense that they would not pay to help their child, and no length they would not go to. It also helped that the Vargas name was well known in medical circles as the Vargas patriarch had sat on the board of one of the most outstanding hospitals in the New York metropolitan area for decades.

Despite all of their resources and their far reach, Rosa Vargas did not live passed her second birthday. The trauma of it deeply affected young Raul and he withdrew into himself. A once bright spirit had been dulled under the guilt of having failed to save his sister. Noticing this change in their son, the Vargases instituted monthly family camping trips in the hopes that getting away from the responsibilities of their life, even for just a weekend, would help their family recover from the loss. It was on one of these camping trips that the Vargas family experienced an upheaval once again. A teenage Raul had just returned from a job around the campsite when two adolescents stumbled in. They were disoriented and terrified. Little did the Vargas know that what was supposed to be a routine camping trip would lead to two adopted children. For the first few months after the adoption, Raul tried his best to maintain his distance from his new siblings. There was a part of him that was terrified of the idea of becoming too close to them; after all, he had loved and failed Rosa at a young age and the idea of failing another sibling was too much for him to bear, but despite his best interests, his new siblings wheedled themselves into his heart.

When Raul turned 18, there was little discussion about the course that his life would take. He’d been studying and training his entire life for this: taking and passing the tasks that would see him officially welcomed into the ranks of the Seraph. The trajectory was as clear as it had always been. Raul would receive his marks, rise through the ranks, and one day become the leader of the Agency, as his father had done. This path had been known to him the entirety of his life, and yet, Raul chafed against it. He’d failed to protect sister all those years ago, how could he possibly be expected to shoulder the task of protecting all of the supernatural creatures who called the city their home?

His father’s death came unexpectedly and though Raul had trained his entire life for the moment, Raul ran. He threw himself into his career, refusing the post he’d been expected to assume, and focusing wholly on becoming the best trauma surgeon he could. As he stood on the sidelines, Raul watched as the organization his father had loved fell into corruption. When the new leader stepped down, Raul knew what he had to do – finally fully step into the role he’d been trained to inhabit and restore honor to their ranks.
