That certainly can work; probably do up the mechanics of the half-fae background as a half-demon, but we'd argue that Rechard wouldn't want to feed on your blood
If past experience holds, it'll be several days, if not a week, before all the characters are hashed out, so no immediate rush needed.
As for hanging out at the 7-11, that only works if you hired someone to pretend to be your girlfriend
At this point, the cast page is looking like the following. I'm also including a few game mechanic-y things, upon which I invite comment.
A general note for the half-demony among you: the Secret drawback was not factored into your Half-Demon qualities, because you may or may not want to keep it a secret. For those that do want such a secret kept (or at least, not general knowledge), you may want to pick up the Secret drawback to offset some of the cost of your Half-demon-ness.
Also, for those unfamiliar with Unisystem, an Attribute of 2 is human average, 6 is human max (although non-humans can go higher).
Herobizkit playing Rory Shanahan half-fae Celtic rocker/warlock
[sblock=Half-fae Quality]Half-fae Quality (6):
Immortal (0): won't die of old age, but violence still hurts
Acute Senses (2): keen hearing
Attractiveness +1 (1): bonus to any roll where persuading people is a factor
Vulnerability to Cold Iron (-3): A classic fae weakness I just threw in; if you don't like it, we can drop it, and the cost of the whole package is increased by 3.
Occult +1 (1): 1 free level in Occult
Dexterity +2 (2): gain +2 to Dexterity
Fae Magics (3): +5 bonus to magic rolls when dealing with illusions or charms[/sblock]
Walking Dad playing... some type of White Hat. Concept pending.
DrZombie playing either a football jock or a Slayer (DrZ and Shayuri - fight!)
jkason playing Gavin Petersen, a half-Poena Epulum demon pre-med student.
[sblock=Half-Poena Epulum Quality]Half-Poena Epulum Quality (13):
Supernatural Sense - Pain (3): A Perception + Notice check can learn the life point total of 1 creature per success in a 100ft radius.
Supernatural Attack - Deliver Pain (4): A Dexterity + Kung-fu attack to deal 20 damage
Supernatural Unattack - Feast on Pain (4): A Intelligence + Doctor check to heal 2 x Intelligence damage
Editted: on second thought, tge original version seemed way too powerful; far better than a Drama point; this tones it down some, and I may yet drop the x2 modifier...
Doctor +1 (1): 1 free level in Doctor, because Poena Epulum naturally understand biological systems.
Mental Problems - Cruelty (-1): The base tendencies of the Poena Epulum involve inflicting pain.[/sblock]

How is the gang getting together here? I'm not sure if Rechard would recognize Gavin or Rory, but Gavin's health sense would absolutely notice Rechard.
And while Rechard should stay away from anything Watcher-like, his recklessness might mean that if Rees approached Rechard about combat lessons for the new Slayer, he might decide to play. After all, if he can get in good with the Slayer, it would be demon-blood happy hour for as long as it lasted....
Actually, that makes a lot of sense. Given the recklessness and the addiction/obsession, it would be very easy for Rechard to play along, and he has a vested interest in keeping the Slayer alive and relatively happy.

Does a Slayer count as having 'demon blood?' Or is that more of a metaphysical thing?
As far as slayer concepts go, I'm leaning nerdgirl, but it would be kind of interesting...as backstories go, and complications...to have that pastor's daughter thing going.
Of course, the two aren't mutually exclusive.
HMMM.

Lol. How 'bout the intellectually challanged sportsjock turning slayer who has to rely on the drop-dead-gorgeous-when-she-takes-of-her-glasses-nerdgirl for tactics?

Slayers would just have human blood, although mystically enhanced, vamps and half-demons would count as demon blood, but would be like rice cakes to the demons' savory pot roast.

This is going to sound funny, but are we getting too "D&D"-y? Half of us are half-blooded with the supernatural.
Then again, the Angel gang was anything but normal.
Must... stay... focused.
Maybe we're more Lost Girl now.
