A spy leads a lonely life. There can be few friends, few relationships; a spy has sacrificed his or her life to be one of secrecy and solitude. Even their name is kept quiet, for, if they are discovered by another race, they will certainly be captured for huge ransom or killed. Think this over twice before deciding to make your character a spy.
Spies wear a special, enchanted necklace around their necks but hidden well under their clothes. This necklace holds a tiny (about the size of a marble) bottle filled with the blood of the species they are infiltrating, giving them the scent so they may blend in (for example, if they had Vampire blood, they would smell like Vampires to everyone). The bottle is activated by a secret spell that only few, highly trained mages and spies know, and the spell wears off after three hours, where it must recharge for an hour before it can be reactivated. Spies usually carry three of these vials with them (for the three other species), but it is a dead giveaway anyone that sees them.
Submit your character by posting an intro as if they were accepted, already.

(I would like to apply for this position! ) Vieko was left in the briefing room, which turned out to be nothing more than a dingy room in the Stubborn Boar tavern. The chair across the stand that his briefer and himself were using as a table was empty, and had been for a while, but his blue gaze was focused on the blood red orbs linked to fine chains in his hands. For all his informant knew, the words for the secret spell could have gone into one ear and exited right through the other. But Vieko would rather pierce his heart than lose this opportunity, and so he sat there, in the dusty old room, as his lips soundlessly mouthed the words and carved each syllable into the wall of his mind. He counted the necklaces over and over: one two three, one two three, one two three, one two three. They each had been marked with a small letter on the back of each small orb of liquid, marking the werecat blood, the werewolf blood, and the vampire blood. His hand raised, lifting the necklaces and reveling in each clink of the glass containers as the light of the window shone through them like round rubies, surrounded by glowing motes of dust. He had been told that a spy’s life was lonely, but how could that possibly be true? He had the means to communicate with everyone, to be seen as an equal among each group. How could that be seen as a bad thing? Of course, he would have to be sneaky. The timing of the spell was excruciatingly short, but he would make the best of every three hours, find excuses to hide for an hour afterward… maybe switch up the times before the others caught on to his frequent and aptly timed absences. And where should he go to first? Perhaps the werewolves… As for actually spying…. Vieko lowered the necklaces finally, smirking darkly. He had been given general times to report back, of course, but they would certainly not be adhered to in any form of a timely matter. He was the spy! He would decide what was the most convenient time to break an operation, and he would decide what the humans in the castle chambers needed to know and, more importantly, what they didn’t need to know! He had his precious artifacts, and now it was time to cast off the overbearing chains of race and become a part of each beautiful society. And perhaps if he liked the werewolves, he might share some information with them. And perhaps if he liked the werecats, he would tell them what the werewolves were up to, and, God in heaven condemn him to Hell if He liked, if he happened to become fond of the vampires, what was a Thrunalhin guard schedule or two?

Hey, guess who? ;D Yeah, so after noticing this thread a day or two ago, I decided not to apply for Healer, but to apply for Spy! So I've got her app written out from school, and when I get that down, I shall also write the intro

Although we've been expecting that app for 5 days now. XD I'm tempted to put a time limit on you. The lack of delivery is getting disconcerting.
What do you think, Arrow?

The three ruby red vials quietly clinked together as she took each small step, barely making a sound to the rest of the world, but imitating an earthquake in Avi's head. Speed and time tempted Avi more and more, making her feel the day get shorter and shorter as she waited to take one step, then another, and then another, but things like this couldn't be rushed. Well, not if she wanted to stay hidden.
Really, though, it was only the Werecat's territory, and they weren't even hostile towards the Humans. Still, caution should be taken no matter how safe it seemed, especially if you weren't supposed to be seen. Anywhere. It was almost like she was invisible to the world. The only people who even knew about her were the King, the Royal Advisor, the Guard Captain, and—
"So, we meet again, little one?"
Crap. How did she always find her?!
"I guess so," Avi said, slowly looking back, and after making sure it was the right person, cautiously taking a straighter posture.
"You guess so..." The woman trailed off a little, stepping further out of the bushes and towards Avi. "There must be some reason why you're here, and I know it's not to talk to me. Obviously, even though you probably knew I'd find you around here."
Avi thought for a moment and nodded. "You're right, I'm not here to talk to you, only to give you this," she said as she reached for some parchment that had been rolled up and tied into a bow.
{Almost done you guys, but it's like 2:00 in the morning. I swear I'll finish tomorrow}

Time's up. I'm sorry, but we have been waiting for forever and a half; if you have taken this long to simply create your character, how are you supposed to be relied upon to uphold a royalty position?
Putting the poll up now.
