Wonderful fans of kenshinfox, this is yours truly updating with the official cast of Monster: Dawn of Shadows. If you paid any attention to the last fiction, you know that Travis and the gang have been married and more importantly have children. Now with war on the horizon between the world of humans and the world of the supernatural, their children will be playing a pivitol role in the story. Now before I reveal the official cast of characters, I would like to point out that the aging process of the original 8 (Beck, Robbie, Travis, Andre, Jade, Trina, Tori, & Cat) has slowed dramatically due to them living in the world of supernaturals and being eternal beings. I will also explain how the war concept makes sense after the names are revealed. So... without further ado, here they are so far:

*Travis & Trina Henderson (2 Children):

Vera Isabella Henderson- IamLovingTheStrawberrySwing

Dylan Henderson- Amandy110

*Andre & Cat Harris (3 Children):

Alexis harris (Alex)- RatedNextGeneration

Ryanna Joane Harris (Prefers Ryan.)- Tabyylynn

*Robbie and Jade Shapiro (2 Children):

John Bryan Shapiro- DarkRoseBlackness

Anna Olivia Shapiro- glassesgirl21

Right now there is one child spot remaining for Andre and Cat (son) and there is at least 1 or 2 spots left for Tori and Beck so keep sending me those applications and I will definately put you in but the OC's listed above have taken up most of the positions mentioned. Here is the list of those positions:

Vera Isabella Henderson is Travis and Trina's youngest daughter and is a sorceress like her mother. Dylan Henderson is the oldest daughter and is an elemental like her father, Travis. Both have magical abilities but in different ways. Vera can conjure spells and hexes related to elements and more while Dylan can actually control the elements themselves (Think Avatar: The Last Airbender) While Vera has limitless abilities with her magic, Dylan is limited to just whatever elements exists. (Water, Fire, Earth, Air, Darkness, Light, etc.) Lastly, I know that I said, one son and one daughter, but I am a flexible writer and decided that instead, there will be two daughters.

As mentioned above, I am a flexible author and I decided that instead of fraternal twins, I've decided to make Alexis (Alex) Harris and Ryanna (Ryan) Joane Harris as identical twins which means that there is one more opening for a younger brother between the ages of (14-17). Alexis is all demoness, meaning that she has two stages of a demon form. The first is a nearly nude version of herself with small horns a tail and her skin is a different color probably pink or purple. Her second form is a more typical type of demon form where she is ferocious but she keeps that to herself because she prefers to remain beautiful despite the immense power her second form gives her. Her powers include, seduction skills, ability to conjure and control fire, flight, excellent eyesight, and indestructable claws while in either form. Her second form has unmatched brute strength and agility as well as the earlier listed abilities just on a much powerful scale. Ryanna is all siren who, like her twin, has two forms that she can alternate at will. She has a incredible singing voice that entrances her targets with ease. She is a skilled fighter in hand to hand combat. She also can control bodies of water and the creatures that reside in them. There is one last slot open for a male child of Andre and Cat Harris.

Anna Olivia Shapiro is Robbie and Jade's youngest child (Daughter) and is much like her father. She is somewhat upbeat and yet is reserved when it comes to certain aspects. Being the youngest of everyone (so far...) she hasnt truly hit puberty yet and is sometimes self-conscious about being slightly flat chested unlike her mother. Despite that though she is a very capable sorceress who isnt as powerful as the others but can still hold her own. She has similar abilities like Vera Henderson but it's still not to her level. John Bryan Shapiro is the older brother who is constantly being overprotective of Anna. He is always there to protect her whether she wants him to or not. He is her polar opposite. While she is care-free and lively, he is calculating and somewhat dark in his personality. He can be just as cold and mean as his mother Jade but most of the time, he is quiet and to himself giving him a shroud of mystery. He is a full vampire like his mother and always strives to please her by following in his vampiric heritage. He has all of her powers and desires such as charm, the love of blood and always wears mostly dark colors. He has super speed, flight, keen sense of sight and smell, and super strength.

Finally, the biggest issue so far is Beck and Tori... The angel and werewolf respectively have two children (1 boy and 1 girl). Both spots are open and I need them to be filled soon so that I can get set for the first chapter of the story. At the very least, I need at least one child for the couple which I can work with and then add the second child later on if I have to. But I really need these slots to be filled very soon.

The final subject of this author's note is the war itself:

About 10 years after the events of the first story, the two worlds have upheld the peace treaty that there will be no conflict between supernaturals and humans. However, a mysterious faction has violated this pact and in turn a war of universal proportions is now underway... The original gang knows that despite them being immortal, there is one way to counter that... Slavery... Both sides pose a serious threat to the other and the war mounts, the dangers of what could happen begin to become a reality. Supernaturals that are captured are condemned to eternal servitude to humans and tortured while the humans are executed and presented as prizes and trophies to be mounted. Who is behind this and as the worst possible weapon is being created, is anyone safe?

I will have much more of this plot in the later chapters and I hope that you all like this fiction. I will also be classifying this as a rated M story after chapter 1 or 2... So I hope that you all will enjoy this and I look forward to many reviews to come.
