Angel Investigations, AKA Team Angel, is your quintessential detective agency that specializes in supernatural cases run by the vampire Angel. Originally started in a small, private office, certain cases and events created a need to expand. Located at the Hyperion Hotel, the agency allows Angel to openly advertise his willingness to assist people in trouble without specifying the agency's specialization in supernatural cases; with the slogan "We Help the Helpless" (originally "We Help the Hopeless").

Winter Court

* Overview
* The Court
* Members
* Logs

The Winter Court is one of the four fairy courts, opposite the Summer Court. The court gains its greatest power around Midwinter and holds its least power near Midsummer. Their chief responsibility is guarding the Outer Gates against the Outsiders. The Winter Court is widely seen as the darkest and most dangerous of the fairy courts and is sometimes referred to as "Unseelie."

Winter is not more powerful than the other courts, nor is Mab more powerful than the other fairy monarchs, but she is known for being exceptionally ruthless, cold and calculating, and her court focuses far more obsessively on its task than the others seem to. Of course, given the gravity of their task, this may come as no surprise. Even so, there are few who deal lightly with the Winter Court, nor its queen.

### Notes

* Arctis Tor is the center of their territory and the seat of Mab's power.
* Unlike most Fairy Queens, Mab is not known to have a particular consort. At present, there is no Winter King.

## Court Positions

* **Queen:** Mab
* **Winter Lady:** Maeve
* **The Leanansidhe** is one of Mab's chief vassals, often known to act directly in her name.
* **Cat Sìth** is Mab's servant and, perhaps, familiar.

### Allies

* *Father Christmas* is a key ally of the Winter Court.

### Houses

These are key houses and clans of the Winter Court, each with significant holdings in Faërie.

Lookout Point

* Overview
* Appearances
* Notes

Lookout Point is a location in the Beacon Hills Preserve that offers a good view of Beacon Hills, CA. This area lies adjacent to the Hale family land and can be considered part of the Beacon Hills Pack territory, but other friendly werewolf packs have been known to occasionally frequent the area. Its popularity with werewolves may stem from the fact that, overlooking Beacon Hills as it does and owing to the natural acoustics of the area, this position allows a werewolf's howl to be heard from nearly clearly anywhere in the city.

Publicly, Lookout Point is known as little more than a popular location to photograph Beacon Hills from and, occasionally, a place where teenagers sneak off for a rustic make-out experience.

### Physical Description

*Most of this area is covered with the trees of the forest preserve. They are thin, young trees in some areas, widely spaced to allow plenty of space for the forest's carpet of past years' leaves. As one moves south and west, though, the trees grow larger, closer together, with thicker undergrowth between them. Near the road, a large sign proclaims a warning that one might do well to heed: "No Entry After Dark."*

*The area is named for the mountain top to the west, which is easily accessed by road and overlooks the whole of Beacon Hills, from the forest preserve to the West Hills neighborhoods, the East Hills River beyond, and then the downtown and industrial districts beyond. From here, the town of Beacon Hills looks rather small, indeed. To the east, the woods end abruptly as they meet the highway, marking a clear border between the forest and civilization.*

* 2015.09.17 - Where The Wood Is

In the *Teen Wolf* season four episode, "Orphaned ," Derek Hale seemingly refers to Lookout Point as being located east of Beacon Hills. This conflicts with maps and other indications that the preserve is located primarily west of town, so (much as the Teen Wolf Wikia  does), we have chosen to place Lookout Point at the east edge of the preserve, while the preserve is still generally located west of the city.
Beacon Hills Preserve

* Overview
* Points of Interest
* Appearances

The Beacon Hills Wildlife Preserve is a parcel of federal land located west of Beacon Hills proper. It has frequently been home to a wide variety of supernatural creatures and strange happenings. Located over hundreds of acres of woodland, it is considered a temperate coniferous forest with coast redwoods, giant sequoias, and douglas firs making up many of much of the canopy.

The wildlife in the forest is reasonably diverse, particularly in terms of birds and small mammals, up to and including mountain lions. There is a large population of big brown bats, and the preserve was one of the first places where wolves were sighted in California after having been absent from the state for much of the late Twentieth Century. Despite official reports to the contrary, rumors persist that much larger, more dangerous creatures can sometimes be found in the preserve. Those who know more may well realize that these reports are only partially true; the preserve is home to at least one significant pack of werewolves, bordering on the Hale family lands.

### Description

 *Most of this area is covered with the trees of the Beacon Hills Basin Wildlife Preserve. They are thin, young trees in some areas, widely spaced to allow plenty of space for the forest's carpet of past years' leaves. As one moves south and west, though, the trees grow larger, closer together, with thicker undergrowth between them. Near the road, a large sign proclaims the name of the preserve, as well as a warning that one might do well to heed: "No Entry After Dark."

The heart of this area is a grove of much larger trees, ancient oaks and mountain ash interspersed with redwoods and pines. Between the trees, the ground grows thick with underbrush, ranging from blackberry briars and ferns to nettles and poison oak. Game and hiking trails make it possible to safely traverse the area, but there's something here--perhaps in the air, perhaps rising from the earth itself. Whatever it is, the land seems to nearly hum with some quiet, ancient power.*

* **The Nemeton**: This ancient, mysterious oak is located somewhere within the Wilderness Preserve, but the exact location seems to frequently change.
* **Lookout Point**: This clifftop area overlooks most of Beacon Hills, serving as a conveniently ideal place for a werewolf to howl out over the city.
* **Woodland Pond**: This large pond is located near the center of the most concentrated part of the preserve, serving as a popular swimming hole for local teenagers.

Shifters

This page covers various supernatural creatures known for changing between specific forms, such as werewolves or were-coyotes. Shapeshifters  are another creature entirely. Werewolves, alternatively known as *lupine theriomorphs* or lycanthropes, are animalistic **shape-shifters**, usually tied tied to the phases of the moon and often triggered by the full moon. We draw primarily on *Teen Wolf*  for our version of werewolves, though we have included notes on a few other varieties, as well.

# Varieties

## Werewolves

*Main article: Werewolves*
There are several varieties creature that are all loosely categorized under the term "werewolf," mostly because they all display bestial qualities, and most physically transform into some version of a wolf-like shape. This is frequently tied to the phases of the moon and often triggered by the full moon, but the specifics vary.

## Werelions

*Main article: Werelions*
Werelions are a variant of Werewolves. The only known type were created via magic spell, and like werewolves they are able to transform into some version of a lion-like shape. This is frequently tied to the position of the sun, but the specifics vary.
Nob Hill

Nob Hill is one of San Francisco's signature neighborhoods, renowned for its city landmarks and the famous hotels that border Huntington Park, a small square and green space centered around a reproduction of the Fontana delle Tartarughe from Rome, also known as the Turtle Fountain. Absorbing some of the flavor by the diverse neighborhoods that surround it, this affluent area has a variety to offer. It features numerous parks, small business and even a few temples, which spill over from Chinatown.

It also includes the grand edifice of Grace Cathedral, with its two towers, carillon of forty-four bronze bells, Ghiberti doors, and iconic rose window. Towards Union Square one can find upscale boutiques, and the Polk Street boundary is lined with nightclubs and popular bars. This is an area where modern luxury hotels stand side by side with vintage barber shops, old corner coffee shops and cocktail lounges from decades past.

"The Outside" is a catch-all term for that which exists beyond the limits of the known universe. This is not to be confused with parallel realities, alternate timelines, or even divergent universes--this is a realm where things completely alien to known reality exist.

The Outside is inspired by the same "beyond" that is frequentl referenced in the Lovecraft Mythos , though it is not identical.

## The Dreamlands

The Dreamlands are an area deep in the Otherworld, which Outsiders are occasionally able to sneak through. However, this is at best a "slow leak," and they must be specifically ferried through via corrupted mortal Dreamers.

North Beach

* Overview
* Points of Interest
* Appearances

North Beach is also known as the City's "Little Italy" and has historically been home to a large Italian American population. The dining scene strongly reflects this, as it is still home to many Italian restaurants. However, in more recent years the area has become increasingly ethnically diverse, and what was once the center of the beatnik subculture has become one of San Francisco's main nightlife districts as well as a residential neighborhood populated by a mix of young urban professionals, families, and Chinese immigrants. The area bustles with activity during the day, and at night offers somewhat tamer diversions than elsewhere in the city.

Along the northern part of the neighborhood, Lombard street continues from its more famous stretch along Russian Hill, until the street's far eastern end wraps around the circular base of Coit Tower, stretching up into a tall, dome-capped white cylinder and offering an excellent view of the bay and the Embarcadero. The southern part of this neighborhood borders Chinatown, while the heart of the city's Financial District lies along the coast to the southeast.

Ghirardelli Square is located in San Francisco, CA, at 900 North Point Street between Beach and Larkin Streets, two blocks east of Van Ness Avenue. It is one block west of the Cable Car turnaround at Beach and Hyde Streets, near the west end of Fisherman's Wharf.

The square itself is a long, narrow plaza surrounded by refurbished buildings that blend the historical with the modern. A clock tower crested with a steeple stands in the far corner, while the large "Ghirardelli" sign stands along the far side of the square, overlooking it all.

Multiple levels are decorated with lights, flowers, and trees, as well as over fifty specialty shops, galleries, and restaurants. At one end of the square is Fountain Plaza, where two sculpted mermaids sit over a man made pool and offer a refreshing place to sit a moment and relax.

The ground is paved or cobblestone, concrete steps leading between different levels and different shopping opportunities. Whether one is looking for the perfect gift, a cup of coffee, or just a great dessert, this is definitely a great place to find it.

Curious Goods is an antique and secondhand shop located in Seattle at 666 Druid Avenue. Previously known as Vendredi Antiques, upon the sudden disappearance and presumed death of Lewis Vendredi, it was inherited by his niece and nephew, Micki Foster and Ryan Dallion. Together with their business partner, Jack Marshak, they renamed it Curious Goods and have built the business up strongly over the years.

Secretly, Micki, Ryan, and Jack all work to recover cursed items and place them in the vault underneath the shop, which neutralizes the items' power. They are determined to save the world from their uncle, who knowingly sold many such items to people, for the sake of his evil master.

Marina

* Overview
* Points of Interest

San Francisco's waterfront area is famous for its many sights. Beginning with Ghirardelli Square in the west, the wharf curves around to the southeast in a long series of jutting piers, the most well-known of which is Pier 39.

The Embarcadero is the long street following the coastline which allows a good view of most everything in the area for those who care to drive through. Just past the square is The Cannery, and beyond that the North Point Shopping Plaza. A bit fraught with tourist traps, it's not the most popular with locals, but visitors seem to flock here.

A bit farther inland lies the crookedest street in the world, the section of Lombard that runs between Hyde and Leavenworth. The far eastern end of this street wraps around the circular base of Coit Tower, stretching up into a tall, dome-capped white cylinder and offering an excellent view of the bay and the Embarcadero.

North Hill also contains what passes for the City's "Little Italy" and the dining scene strongly reflects this. The area bustles with activity during the day, and at night offers somewhat tamer diversions than elsewhere in the city.

Character List

This is a listing of characters on *Before the Dawn MUX*. You can also use this page to create a new character page. Note: Character pages should be named with the most commonly used form of your character's first and last name (unless the character lacks a surname).

**Please be aware of the Character Rules before submitting an application.**

## Current Characters

The following characters are considered "current" on the game. Archived characters are included on this list.

You can also view a breakdown of characters sorted by their species.
Angels

Angels are, in the most basic sense, divine messengers. Most famously, this refers to Angels of Heaven, as described below. However, it should be noted that while the term "angel" is often associated with the heavenly host, it is technically also a term for any spiritual messenger, and many specific deities have their own "angels" as well. So, while many angels do exist in the hierarchy of heaven, not all do; as Hamlet famously said, "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." This holds true, too, for angels.

* *Looking for a list of angelic characters? Check Here.*

"Angels of Heaven" in the commonly understood sense are servants, soldiers, messengers, and otherwise keepers of the divine order. They exist to protect creation, shepherd souls, and preserve and maintain Heaven. They act in direct service of The Divine, sometimes described as The Creator or God, but the reality is nothing so simple. In reality, "Heaven" is more of a concept than a singular place--many pantheons have "paradise dimensions" where souls may be sheltered and angels may serve; some of these may have a very Abrahamic, "God the Father" figure, while others follow the pattern of, say, Tír na nÓg. In the end, each pantheon has its own way of doing things, so angels are largely defined by whom they serve.

## Fallen Angels

Fallen Angels, sometimes called Demons, are former spiritual messengers, usually servants of a specific deity or of Heaven, who have been cast out that role and, usually, cut off from the divine presence that empowered them.
Caritas

* Overview
* Appearances

Caritas is a demonic karaoke bar, currently located in San Francisco's Lower Haight. The bar is heavily warded against supernatural violence of any sort, making anything from hostile magic to demonic bar fights literally impossible inside it. This magic also helps to hide it from prying mundane eyes. Apart from being a kind of sanctuary, it's also a highly lucrative business that caters to the non-human population. However, humans are also quite welcome. Lorne is the owner and primary host of the bar.

### Description

This could almost pass for any quirky neighborhood karaoke bar, except that most of the patrons are visibly non-human. Demons, vampires, werewolves, and all manner of folk seem to gather here, hidden from prying eyes by a layer of glamours and protection spells. Perhaps it's the niche clientele that assures such a steady crowd. Most nights, it's got just about the right number of people to make things friendly but still comfortable. It's decorated in splashes of silver and purple, and the decor of the place feels like the grandchild of mod-deco, punched up here and there with chintzy theatrical flair.

Subtly varied spot lighting creates just the right mix of tables where one can be seen or not seen, with a mix of small tables in the center and quiet booths along the edges of the room. A stage at the back features a high-end karaoke setup, the backdrop featuring a silver curtain that can be drawn aside to feature a full cinematic projection screen. Along one wall, the bar is stocked with everything from high-octane cocktails to fruit smoothies. Notably, they check IDs very diligently when drinks are purchased, as this is an all-ages place -- and they cut anyone off who hits the sauce too hard. For that, they'll tell you, go down the street to the Bear and Staff Pub.

The Autumn Blade

* Overview
* Appearances

## The Thrice-Blessed Sword

The Autumn Blade, also known as the Thrice-Blessed Sword or, formerly, the Blade of Gwrtheyrn, is a relic, an enchanted sword forged in the court of ancient Lyonesse to be the personal blade of Prince Gwrtheyrn, made with a keen and unfailing edge and able to hold and channel magic with great power. When Gwrtheyrn's stepson, who would become known later as Rey Devoss, was taken by the Morrígan to Faërie, the prince asked favor of the goddess, requesting that she keep the blade and, one day, pass it on to the boy. The goddess consented, and moreover she gave the blade blessings of her own, imbuing it with the magic of the Tuatha Dé Danann, making the blade effectively indestructible. In time, it was passed on to Rey, who spent years among the fae.

At the court of The Erlking, the sword was blessed a third time, awakening its inherent ability to channel magic. From then on, the blade was able absorb magic effects up to a superlative level. This does have limitations, as it can only absorb a single active effect at a time, and the effect must be reasonably localized. More minor effects may be absorbed over a larger area, but for each absorbed effect, the sword gains power. So, if it absorbs multiple Enhanced effects or a single Supreme effect, it may gain a few minutes of attack power at that level. If it absorbs multiple such effects in a row, its strength might last longer. Notably, it takes a great deal of concentration to absorb such effects, so the wielder may not be doing much else at the time that would distract them.

## Name

The Autumn Blade, before it was given a proper name, was previously known as the Blade of Gwrtheyrn. Gwrtheyrn is a modernization of the Old Welsh, Guorthigern, composed of the elements *gor* "over" and *tigern* "king, lord," hence "high lord" or "overlord, which is the best available translation from the original name, which was in the language of Lyonesse. Gwrtheyrn, it should be noted, was also a variant on the name of King Vortigern of Arthurian Legend--this was a different person entirely.

Dice System

By default, *Before the Dawn MUX* does not use dice or any formal system. However, in the case that one is wanted or needed by players in a scene, we have provided the following method of using your character sheets to make rolls, skill checks, etc. This system is designed as a quick way to let players resolve conflicts if they feel it is helpful to them, so we have not provided any specific "Target Number" rules or such; this simply lets players roll against one another, with the higher total roll indicating the one who takes advantage in the confrontation.

**Unless otherwise indicated explicitly by staff (for whatever reason), this system remains 100% optional and is offered as a role-play aid and supplement, not a role-play replacement.**

## Dice System

For all rolls (except when using a higher-ranked stat), roll a base die of 1d6. Otherwise:

* For Basic abilities, roll 1d6.
* For Basic+ abilities, roll 1d6+1d4.
* For Enhanced abilities, roll 1d12.
* For Enhanced+ abilities, roll 1d12+1d4.
* For Supernatural abilities, roll 1d20.

When including a skill, add:

* For Novice skills: +2
* For Competent skills: +4
* For Expert skills: +6

So, for a character with Enhanced Dexterity and a Novice Athletics, roll: 1d12+2

## Rolling the Dice

Use 'roll <number>d<sides>[+<number[d<sides>]>]' to roll dice. Examples:

* *roll 1d6*
* *roll 1d20+4*
* *roll 1d12+1d4+2*

Spirits there care not for good deeds and priestly invocations. They are as like to rip the muscle from our bones as greet you with a happy g'day. And, if harnessed, these spirits, this hidden land of unmuffled screams and broken hearts, will offer up a power so vast that its bearer might reorder the earth itself to his liking.

Little is known about the mysterious Black Lodge, save that it is a place of great evil and spiritual trials. One half of the Shattered Mirror was located there for a time.

The Dreamlands are a mystic realm can be reached by those in a dreaming state. It should be noted that Dreamers may be able to travel to many other realms, and this should not be regarded as "The Dreaming" or the land of dreams--it is simply a specific realm that *can* be reached via dreams.

## OOC Note

While the Dreamlands are heavily inspired by the mythos of H. P. Lovecraft, Lovecraft's work is not considered explicitly canon to the game--as such, they are not technically *those* Dreamlands, even though they may bear a striking resemblance in some respects.

Faërie

* Overview
* Appearances

Faërie is the home of the fae, a realm located in the Otherworld. The Courts of Faërie primarily include the Spring Court, Summer Court, Autumn Court, and the Winter Court. Faërie can be reached via a number of methods, such as via passage through the Ways.

The land of Faërie itself has very complex geography, such that it would be easy to become lost there if one is not very familiar with it. The borders are not set, and the distance between locations may be as much about ideas and associations as direction or orientation. There are lands within the realm for each of the courts, and those lands reflect their masters. The Seelie Court is a land of eternal summer and bounty, while the Unseelie Court is often spooky and unsettling, a mysterious land where Halloween always seems on its way.

Between the realms of the courts lies open, wild country. It can be nearly anything, and it often embodies classic images from fairy tales and mortal fancies. They closely border the Dreamlands.

 Passion... it lies in all of us. Sleeping, waiting, and though unwanted, unbidden, it will stir, open its jaws, and howl. It speaks to us, guides us... passion rules us all. And we obey. What other choice do we have?

— Angelus

Angelus was one of the most famous vampires of all time in vampire history, legendary for both his savage villainy. Born Liam in 1727 in Galway, Ireland, he was sired by Darla in 1753 and changed his name to Angelus and was dubbed The Scourge of Europe, earning notoriety for being one of the most sadistic and brutal demons in history, and easily one of the most evil vampires ever recorded. The Master recognized how purely evil Angelus was. He was also known as The Demon with the Face of an Angel or The One with the Angelic Face because of his physical beauty. However, in 1898, Angelus was cursed by the members of Clan Kalderash  as vengeance for killing a member of their clan. They returned his soul, forcing him to live eternally in guilt over the countless crimes he had committed.

Plots

"Plots" are role-play arcs and events that have a particularly noteworthy impact on the game setting and/or specific factions, characters, or fandoms. Role-play and scenes that would not cause such a lasting impact need not be treated as plots and can be run on a casual basis without specific staff approval. However, role-play that would constitute a plot must be submitted as a +plot request (see '+help +plot-requests' on game) and approved by staff.

If you'd like to run a plot but need ideas, you may want to check out the Hook, Line, and Sinker Plots page.

This page chronicles tagged plot arcs. You may wish to check here for information on Plot-related rules.

Hellmouth

* Overview
* Appearances

Hellmouths are sealed gateways that connect to one of the many hell dimensions. The energies these gateways emanate tend to attract certain types of demons, often leading to large concentrations of dangerous supernatural creatures around them. Hellmouths are created when areas with weak dimensional barriers are breached. These areas can be created via various means, usually as a result of powerful mystical phenomena.

Opening a Hellmouth requires a dark ritual, usually involving a minor blood sacrifice. (This does not necessarily have to be a lethal sacrifice, but a large volume of fresh blood is generally required.) Once opened, the portal will allow creatures and energies to pass freely between the Hellmouth and whichever hell dimension exists on the other side.

Outsiders

Also known as Abominations, the Outsiders are creatures that exist beyond the limits of known reality, beyond even the Otherworld, coming from a place known only as Outside. Their exact nature is not known, save that they are often very powerful and dangerous, and they seem to be such anathema to the life of known reality as to be completely unable to coexist peacefully with native creatures.

They are heavily inspired by the Lovecraft Mythos .
Caladbolg

* Overview
* Appearances

Caladbolg (meaning "hard cleft" or "hard blade"), is an enchanted two-handed sword made by the fae of the Seelie Court. Forged from magical ore from the depths of Faërie, it all but hums with magical power, so much so that when swung it leaves the after-image like the arc of a rainbow. Unbreakable and keen enough to slice through solid stone, it was said to make the wielder powerful enough to defeat an entire army.

In practical terms, it is a supernatural-level weapon, however it cannot be wielded except by the will of the Seelie Queen, Lady Gloriana, who is its keeper. It is traditionally offered up for the use of a Champion, who may only wield it when the need is great, and only then in defense of innocent lives or defense of the Seelie Court. Angel has somewhat more discretion in his use of the blade, as he was a pre-existing Champion in his own right, but even he must be acting in the direct interest of the Powers for additional usage. Typically, this translates into getting 'direct orders' through one of Cordelia's Visions. (If the Champion Signature ability is active, the sword is operating at full power.) Further discretion is granted him to use the sword as Enhanced level weapon for personal use. When this happens, the sword does not leave its fabled rainbow arc, but it is still unbreakable.

The blade's exact form has evolved over the centuries, though it seems more that it has mystically evolved with the times, rather than being actively reforged. What remains constant about it is that it contains no iron nor steel, that the metal carries a faint rainbow sheen, and that it is always a two-handed weapon with a hearty heft to it.

Beacon Hills High School

* Overview
* Staff
* Points of Interest
* Appearances

Beacon Hills High School is a public school, best known for their school sports team, who are each known as *The Cyclones*. The lacrosse team is especially noteworthy. The Beacon Hills Public School was first established in 1941 as a public high school, operating separately from the Beacon Hills Grammar School. In the 1980s, the public school campus was expanded, occupying land across the street from the existing campus. The former grammar school was moved to this new location, from then on operating as Beacon Hills Elementary under the auspices of Beacon Hills Public School. In the years since, the school has developed a strong reputation for academic excellence, despite constant struggles for funding and an unusually high staff turnover rate.

## Physical Description

Beacon Hills is a fairly typical public high school. Brick buildings and well-manicured lawns make up the exterior, with a brick and stone sign in front, dedicated to the class of 1980, that declares "Est. 1941" and " Beacon Hills High School." The front steps lead up to double doors, which open into the entry hall with the "BHHS" logo displayed prominently on the floor. This opens into several corridors of plain, off-white hallways with rows of lockers in muted teal and wooden doors opening into offices and classrooms. The rear of the school opens onto the parking lot, adjacent to the gymnasium and lacrosse field. Printed in large block letters on the outer gym wall are the words: "HOME OF THE CYCLONES."

Inside the classrooms, the walls have been painted the same muted teal color, while standard wood-and-plastic desks face front toward white boards and projection screens. The school is tech-forward, with ELMOs and integrated computer stations, as well as school-based wifi and other basic amenities. The science classrooms replace desks with worktables and stools, while computer rooms feature long tables and office chairs with row after row of PC and Mac workstations, depending on who sponsored which particular computer lab. The school's main office is located right in the front, handling attendance and visitor admission matters, while the principal's office is located in back, overlooking the rear grounds.

Roscoe

*Not Quite the Batmobile*

* Overview
* Appearances

This blue and black 1980 Jeep CJ-5 is a solid old beast that used to belong to Claudia Stilinski. After Claudia's death, the Jeep was left in the keeping of Noah Stilinski. Years later, Noah passed the vehicle on to his son, Stiles. While Stiles would often speak disparagingly about the Jeep, calling it a "piece of crap" and insisting that he didn't care much about it, he gave it the affectionate nickname "Roscoe" and proceeded to take the best care of it that he knew how. So it has continued to present day.

Fortunately, Roscoe seems to always take a pounding and yet keep on chugging along. As Stiles is not particularly trained as a mechanic, he has largely figured out how to take care of the car on his own--which means that, sometimes, parts of the engine are literally held together by duct tape. But, as he tells himself, even the *Millennium Falcon* looked like a piece of junk. So, don't worry.

She'll hold together.

*This vehicle appears in many logs, but many of them predate the creation of this page. Many appearances, as such, may not be visible on this list.*

Forks

* Overview
* Points of Interest
* Appearances

"Forks is a city in Clallam County, Washington, United States. The population was 3,532 at the 2010 census.[5] The population was 3,545 at 2012 Estimate from Office of Financial Management. It is named after the forks in the nearby Quillayute, Bogachiel, Calawah, and Sol Duc rivers.

"For many years, the city's economy was fueled by the local timber industry. More recently it has drawn tourism related to the novel series Twilight and movies of the same name, set in Forks. With recent declines in the timber industry, Forks has relied on the nearby Clallam Bay Corrections Center and Olympic Corrections Center as sources of jobs. Forks is a popular destination for sport fishers who fish for salmon and rainbow trout in nearby rivers. It is also supported by visitors to Olympic National Park."

Derek Hale's Loft

* Overview
* Appearances

This loft apartment in Beacon Hills is owned by Derek Hale. Formerly one of the city's many abandoned industrial spaces, Derek has since fixed up the old warehouse into a proper apartment building. Now offering all the amenities of modern living, as well as a high level of discretion and security, the apartment building and the loft in particular offer Derek and, to an extent, his pack a home located near downtown Beacon Hills. While the pack also has the Republic Theater, the loft remains a residence rather than a pack headquarters.

### Description

*Earthy, neutral tones dominate this loft, with the huge window angled across nearly a full wall. Minimal furniture is arranged here, and all of it possesses a kind of minimalist look, appropriately enough; a desk, a sofa, a low-sitting table and chairs, and a neat, functional bed. Pipes wind through the ceiling, the brick walls providing an uncomplicated sort of aesthetic made striking by the large hole in one of them, opening to an elevator door.*

*A small kitchen sits near the elevator, with a small laundry room and bathroom off from the main room and a door out to the balcony. A spiral staircase winds upward to the roof.*

— The Argent Family Code

It begins with a sudden surge in hunter activity--hunters who are unusually strong and well-equipped, durable against physical damage and resistant to magic. Where they come from or what they want is unsure, but these aren't the hunters that have come before. They've never worked with the Watchers Council, nor the Slayers, and they have no associations with hunting families like the Argents, nor with individual hunters like the Winchesters. They're new players on the scene, and they don't seem to know or care much about the rules of their game. These new hunters appear to be fanatics, out for blood...
