Paradise Lost (SU and OOC)

[Serano]

Paradise

​

​

Background:

​

The maglev pulls into the busy terminal and comes to a smooth stop. As the passengers begin to disembark, a gigantic enormous figure appears in front of the new arrivals that reaches all the way up to the ceiling. The figure was a woman that appeared to be in her early twenties, dressed in a white button up shirt and a white skirt that reached down to her knees.

​

​

​

“Welcome, to Paradise City. If you are a member of the Paladin Security forces, please check in with officer Charles for your assignments. As for all our other guests, please form in a line just below me where you can be processed quickly with our new skin chip. If you do not have one, please report over to the local Paladin Precinct to be registered. To all our visitors, remember to keep doctrine close to your heart. As the holy book of Purity states, “whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”

​

Character Skeleton:

​

Name:

​

​

Age:

​

​

Location: Twelve years ago, the big one hit Los Angeles, destroying the city and much of Western California. Instead of preventing the catastrophe, which may or may not have been within their power, they instead used it to their own plans. They paved over the ruins and ordered the construction of New Angeles, the shining city. This city has all the future amenities one could want; clean air, cheap energy, electric cars, and all sorts of futuristic things to make their lives happy. The cost though, is that their lives are carefully monitored. From what they say, or what you do, step out of line from doctrine and you will be fined, or worse depending on the infraction.

​

​

There are those though, that have shucked the chains of tyranny and choose to live deep underground in the ruins of old Los Angeles. Life here is hard, and it is also a struggle to have even the most basic of amenities. Food is scarce, and often times, raiding parties have to be established capture or torture "uptown". And while it may be a hard life down here, it is free of the angels. Many times they have searched these tunnels, but never have they found the entrance. Nor have any people that have been captured been able to tell them, despite sending in inquisitors.

​

​

Creature: (If Mundane Human, then please put it here as well. As far as what other options are available, I'm pretty open to the usual ones. You can also choose to have a human guise as well, and would actually prefer this but it is entirely up to you.)

​

​

Abilities/Powers/Training:

​

​

Weaknesses: No one, even the angels, are invulnerable. We all have our weaknesses and here is where I'd like to know them. I'd like the powers and weaknesses to be balanced, if you have questions feel free to ask. I'm flexible with the powers and weaknesses though, so please post your ideas and then I can work you if you have doubts. As well, you will obtain new abilities as time goes along and have the option to remove weaknesses, so don't worry about being locked in for the entirety of the RP.

​

​

Purpose: Everyone has a purpose, a goal they are striving to attain. It could be as mundane as surviving, which is no doubt a challenge if you live in the remnants of Los Angeles. Or it could be something as ambitious as “Overthrowing the The Host Tyranny”.

​

​

Appearance: A picture is preferred, although a detailed description will also be accepted.

​

​

Personality: Tell me about your character and how their past has shaped it. I plan on having a long term RP, so please give some thought to it.

​

​

History: Please post at least two paragraphs of back story your character. This is the one area that I want to see a lot of effort put into, and will be the deciding factor of whether it is accepted or not. So please, put some thought into, and take your time with it.

​

​

Do You Know Eric?: Eric is one of the most famous of the lieutenants of the resistance. And as such, is known by people both on the topside as well as in the ruins. To those down in the ruins he is a hero, to the topside, he is a scourge. My question to you is, how well do you know of him. The link for his back story is here:

​

​

Character Death: I plan on this RP having some violent moments, and characters will die. As such, please state here that you are OK with it.

​

Rules:


1. I am a fair person. I will listen to both sides of any and all disputes. If you disagree with a ruling, say so and say why. I will re-evaluate my opinion and may reconsider my stance, possibly even ask Riddle or one of the other moderators. If I say something is final however, and you continue to debate it, your character will be mine to do with what I wish.


2. One of the most important rules is that this is a literate RP. This is not a single-para RP. Minimum 2-paras per post please. An occasional single paragraph will be acceptable if something is particularly tough to respond to, let people know in the OOC if something needs more for you to reply to. Perhaps edits could be made. Of course, that doesn’t mean that you have to post novels, not that I’m opposed to that either. Also, try to use grammar that makes sense. I’m not a “grammar Nazi”, but try your best to use the right grammar and wording anyway.


3. I’m sure most of you are tired of hearing this, but it is standard: NO GOD-MODDING!


4. Romance is allowed. However, any sexual content will have to fade to black.


5. Please follow all the regular site rules as well.


6. A personal rule of mine: No OOC in the IC thread. I'll remove any of those that I see. It's just a personal deal, that I like my in character threads to be clean and smooth.


7. Please try to remain active. Give notice if you'll be gone for more than a week. If you are gone for a week, your character will be puppeted. If you are gone for more than ten days, they will likely be killed, comically if possibly, brutally if appropriate.


8. Most important of all, have fun. Seriously, if it isn’t fun, what is the point of a RP


9. If you read all of this, and I thank you if you did, please incorporate the term “Hari Lowell" 
Quick note: Angel Characters are not allowed at this moment. However, I will be opening it up at a later date, but first want to introduce the characters to the world first. This is because there is a lot to the Angels of this world that you don't know yet, and I'd like to get everyone familiar with the angels of this universe as they are very much different in terms of powers and abilities from biblical cannon.

 

[Coro]

Name: Allen Ryner


Age: 19


Location: Currently on the path to Old Los Angeles


Creature: Human, with a touch of demonic possession


Abilities/Powers/Training: Ryner is more or less your average 19 year old male, maybe a little more fit than the others. What sets Ryner apart is the demon's ability to grant Ryner powers based on the sins and atrocities he commits. The powers he gains are temporary, but can last longer depending on the severity of the sin Ryner committed to gain that power. As of right now, Ryner can only access powers from the demon related to the sin of Wrath, as that is the sin the demon attached itself to Ryner under.


Wrath: What will be Ryner's signature and most used ability, committing the sin of Wrath gifts Ryner with dominion over Hellfire. With himself being immune to the flame's heat, Ryner is essentially pyrokinetic, able to create, manipulate and cause destruction with Hellfire. This state causes Ryner's eyes to turn a bright and violent red.


More detail on Hellfire is below in Aeradom's explanation post on angelic and demonic powers.


Weaknesses: In addition to any weaknesses/drawbacks associated with Ryner's various powers above, Ryner, as he is possessed by a demon, is weak to anything a demon is. Holy water, salt, places of worship, these all cause Ryner's skin to burn, causing him harm. Heaven forbid he ingest salt or holy water, as things will get downright messy.


Purpose: Ryner's purpose is to bring down the angels' rule, and give the people back their freedom. Slaying a significant amount of angels is also on Ryner's agenda, and often comes before his more noble intention.


Appearance: http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k493/Chris_Hoffa/AwesomeAnimeGuy.jpg


Personality: Ryner is a complex young man, on the cusp of adulthood, showing good and bad traits within him. However, the bad traits win out more often than not, which resulted in his possession in the first place. He frequently has good intentions, but goes about achieving them through the use of underhanded or downright despicable means. He isn't above doing anything to get what he wants, and a ruthless side to him emerges when pressed. He will take advantage of nearly anything around him that he can, being extremely pragmatic. He does however, have a softer side, his good traits which seem few and far between in his less than commendable actions. He tries his best not to hurt the innocent, but again, isn't above doing it if needed. If anyone could see past his outward appearance and actions, they would most likely find his presence fun, as his sense of humour is quite good.


History: Allen Ryner had always felt off about the angels, from the moment they descended onto his world. It came as almost no surprise to him that they eventually were fed up with humanity's stupidity and took over, governing from their headquarters in New Los Angeles. At first, their city seemed like a Paradise, but quickly became a prison to Ryner, his teenage senses telling him to have fun and go do all the things the angels outlawed. His urge to rebel won out, and he and his group of friends got up to mischief.


One can assume how well that went, as Ryner and his friends became more and more serious about opposing the angel's tyranny. It ended one night rather violently as two of Ryner's friends and his girlfriend attempted to attack a lone Paladin enforcer. It didn't end well, as Hari Lowell, Ryner's girlfriend, was killed in the scuffle.


Now grieving, and beyond vengeful, Ryner snuck out of the city, leaving his family and life behind. The legends of Eric, the lieutenant from the Resistance, fresh in his mind, Ryner made his way down deep into the tunnels and workings of Old Los Angeles, looking for this near mythic Eric figure, and the rest of his Resistance.


However, there was a complication. Enter, Ukobach. A fun-loving and excitable demon who managed to escape from Hell, Ukobach was immediately attracted to Ryner's feelings of rage, his wrathful goal. He didn't have long, but knew Ryner would be his target, his vessel on this earthly plane of mud-dwelling apes.


Ukobach watched, ironically praying for Ryner to commit a sin, any sin, to let him possess him. He looked like a fun boy, and a simpleton he'd have no problem feeding off of and using for any number of years. Ukoback watched gleefully as Ryner happened upon two other escaped persons deep within the tunnels. However, these were no honourable Resistance soldiers. Common criminals, looking for a thrill, they were nothing more. One of them attacked Ryner, who in his fury with the world, slew him in a bloody display of rage. His knife from home dripping blood, Ryner panted, his lips twisting into an almost sinister grin as he looked down at the pierced chest of the lifeless body. That had been.... Exhilarating. The criminal's friend attacked quickly after, but something happened then. Ryner felt strange, violated, as Ukobach flew into his body, attaching himself to Ryner's soul, creating the bond of possession. His eyes turned a violent red, and Hellfire erupted from Ryner's hands, seemingly moving of their own accord, burning the poor criminal right down to his bones. Ryner passed out, the strain of possession and immediately using that first ability under Ukobach's will having been too much for him.


That is where Ryner currently lies, waiting to wake up and continue on his search for the Resistance base. He is much closer than even he thinks, however, and they might find him before he finds them....


Do You Know Eric?: Ryner does not know Eric personally, and only knows the legends of the fierce and feral fighter Eric, who opposed the tyranny of the angels and still lives on as a member of the Resistance.


Character Death: With Ryner's sinful lifestyle, it's only a matter of time until he meets his end. Whether or not Ryner will accomplish his goal of slaying the angels, and subsequently freeing humanity before said, most likely grizzly end, only time will tell. Ukobach will continue to support Ryner if Ryner continues to prove entertaining, but should Ryner's will ever slip, Ukobach might end up taking the body all for himself instead of sharing so kindly with Ryner.

 

[Legendless]

Name: Hayden Parkers


Age: 22


Location: Old Los Angeles


Creature: Human


Abilities/Powers/Training: Hayden is adept with various guns but she prefers to use an automatic weapon as opposed to things like shotguns, pistols and snipers.


Hayden is fast as well and excells at parkour-like abilities.


Weaknesses: Hayden is physically weak. Her addiction to alcohol and nicotin makes her get sick easier and she cannot perform some of the jobs of others like heavy lifting. She is bad at hand-to-hand combat or anything close range. She has poor tact and sneak skills as well.


Purpose: To get revenge against the Host Tyranny for killing her parents


Appearance:


Personality: Hayden is somewhat aloof. She does her jobs and can be friendly with the others in the resistance, but she finds it hard to get close to people and to trust them. She is cynical as well and usually shoots down optimist ideas and talks. Hayden had always had trouble talking to people and making friends, but the death of her family and being told she was wrong for how she felt, made it even more difficult for her to try and connect with people. Hayden also has a short fuse and can go off on someone, even to the extent of physically attacking them.


History: Hayden Parkers was born transgender. Ever since a young age, she realized that she was born into the wrong body and should have been a girl. She was the daughter of a senator and an only child to her parents, so she had a somewhat cushy life with her family. They lived in Washington state. Her parents weren't so accepting of her transexuality. One of the maids, Hari Lowell, even told her that she was being stupid. That God doesn't make mistakes. For a while Hayden believed them, but she knew who she was. Nothing anyone said would make her believe otherwise.


She was ten years old when the angels came. Her family were wary of them and Hayden wasn't sure if she wanted to believe. Her father was killed in the destruction of old Los Angeles. At first, her and her mother had lived in a somewhat peace, fearful of their new rulers. But her mother slipped into alcoholism, trying to keep it a secret. Hayden herself began to smoke and drink, even know she knew if she was found out, she'd died. The worst day for her was when she was twelve and she asked an angel if they could give her the body she was meant to be born with. They threaten to kill her for such thoughts. There was no mistake. She was a boy and a boy she would be. This began Hayden's anger towards the angels, but it wasn't until she saw her mother murdered in front of her by Paladins because she had broke the rules. She was sixteen at this point. They told her that she was not going to be killed but they were watching her.


Instead of waiting to die or conform to the "new way" Hayden left. She eventually found herself in Old Los Angeles and joined the resistance.


Do You Know Eric?: Yes. She never met him, but she knows about him well enough.


Character Death: Fine with me

 

[Serano]

Coro First off, I'd like to say that I love the detail that you put into your character. There are a few special notes that accompany Demons that need to be explained though. As we have already discussed much of this information, this is more for others if you wish to create a demon.


When a demon escapes from hell, he is limited to the domain of the sin in which he personifies. As you mentioned, you preferred Wrath and the will be fine. There are actually a range abilities that you can unlock under the Wrath Tree, but for now let us focus on the Hellfire.


Hellfire, or Infernal Fire as it is officially known, is the mirror of the Angel's deadly Celestial fire. In fact, the only difference between the two is that is the coloration, whereas Celestial fire is a bright


golden, infernal is a blend of red and black. It can be wielded in many different forms; whether as a melee weapon, armor, shield, or even in a bolt that is hurled at the target. When used as an armor or shield, it is the only magic that is capable of defending against an angels Celestial fire. I say capable, as if the Angel is strong enough, he still can overcome the defenses.


The reason for Celestial Fire (or Infernal Fire in this case) being so feared, is it's abilities to counter supernaturals. For example, it defeats regeneration, normal magical shielding, as well is the only thing that is able to kill immortals. It is this ability above all over, that is the reason for the Angel's dominance over the other supernaturals.


There is a catch however. To be able to use the Infernal Fire and tap into the wrath, you must commit a wrathful act. The definition of the act I will leave vague for now, but it should be self evident what a wrathful act will constitute. Once you do this act, you have the ability to tap into that ability at will. It will last as long as you need it, or until you go to sleep. You also have the option of committing multiple acts of wrath, and creating a reserve of use. For the purposes of this rp, you will start out with one charge if you should need it.


As stated before, you do have the ability to gain more powers. The way you do this, is by finding another demon and defeating it in combat. Afterwards, you absorb it's abilities and can then use it the ability that it has. You do not however, have to commit that sin act to gain a charge for it however. You are wrathful, that is your nature and source of power.


There is also one last deal that you must understand; you are hunted. This isn't merely the normal hunted as in all supernaturals and those members or the resistance must face though. It is different in that the resistance has been so broken, that it has become a lower priority. To the point that they don't even bother trying to track them down. With demons though, Angels are driven to hunt down and return you to hell. And more often than not, it will not be a Paladin that will be sent after you, but an Angel, and possibly a high ranking one at that.


Should you defeat this angel in combat, you will also have the option of absorbing their power, but we will deal with that at another time.


Any questions?

I edited my character to reflect the newly given information, Aero.

 

[Alkonost]

Name: Moira Levian


Age: 22


Location: New Angeles


Creature: Human


Abilities/Powers/Training: Before the Angelic Wars, Moira had been an athlete training for the Olympics. She was both a track and distance runner and had also learned a little hand to hand combat, namely karate. Once the fighting began, however, a friend and fellow Angel follower taught her how to shoot a pistol in case some in the Resistance got violent with her. Those lessons came in handy because she had to protect herself from the fools on several separate occasions.


Weaknesses: Moira is not one to remain calm in a situation. She will be the first to freak out and panic anytime something goes wrong. Time spent following the Angel's watchful regime has also physically weakened her as she's grown quite out of shape.


Purpose: To live peacefully.


Appearance: With long, auburn hair and piercing blue eyes, Moira has always stood out in a crowd. In her Olympic days, she used to wear her hair back and tight athletic clothing nonstop. Since the Angelic Wars, though, she has taken to a more peaceful, almost angelic look. She now wears her hair long and free and is more likely to wear loose, flowing clothing made of soft, sheer fabric which further impedes her mobility and speed.


<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2013_04/tumblr_mknkgbY7On1rw5phjo1_500.jpg.e860c9e9776397bf76f1fea88b441570.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="414" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2013_04/tumblr_mknkgbY7On1rw5phjo1_500.jpg.e860c9e9776397bf76f1fea88b441570.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


Personality: Moira is very soft-spoken, not because she is shy but instead because she would prefer not to step on any toes. She is a naturally follower and will do as the Angels say without any second thought, even if it goes against what she herself believes. A huge advocate for peace, Moira will do whatever she can to stop fighting and will only resort to violence when someone's - hers or another's - life is in danger.


History: Growing up in a despondent area can teach one many life lessons at a young age. Moira was born into a small, poor family living in the slums outside of Los Angeles. She was a surprise baby, her parents in their mid-forties and her siblings already teenagers when she was born. From a very young age, Moira was exposed to violence, danger , and death.


It started with her brother. He'd joined a gang when he was a teenage and, by the time Moira was eight, had risen high in the ranks. However, his gang had encroached on another's territory and had to be punished. The police found his body two weeks later, a dozen bullet holes in his chest and a finger missing from his right hand. Her sister, nineteen at the time, had grown tired of living in poverty and had sold herself to a nearby pimp. The last time Moira saw her sister was four years after her brothers death, when little twelve-year-old Moira saw her sister on the street, propositioning men and begging for drugs. Her parents had never really paid much attention to her and paid even less the older she got. She began to grow fearful that someday she would turn out like her brother or sister. So she ran.


She ran, and she ran, and she ran. And somehow, she ended up in Los Angeles. The city was just as corrupt as her old home, yet somehow, she felt safer. She wandered around until she came upon a church. Her parents had never gone, so she'd never been inside one and could hold back her curiosity no longer. She'd only taken a step in when she knew: she was home.


The priest, although pleased at her enthusiasm, knew he could not care for a child and sent her to an orphanage run by their sister church. The sisters were welcoming to Moira and taught her all about God, Heaven, and angels. Her flight from home had made her discover her love for running, so with the nuns' help, Moira joined a track team.


Years passed and Moira found herself trained for the summer Olympics. That was about when the Angels first appeared. She quickly took that as a sign from God and quickly swore her allegiance to the Angels. Before long, the Angelic Wars were over and everyone was living in peace. Until she heard about the resistance. That wasn't until one of her neighbours Hari Lowell was killed because she and her friends foolishly tried to attack a Paladin.


More than anything, Moira fears that another war is coming. Although she is still devout and trusts the Angels, she also sympathises with those in the Resistance. More than anything, though, she just wants everyone to stop fighting.


Do You Know Eric?: Although she has never met Eric in person, Moira has heard much about him. Unlike many of the other faithful, she does not hate him, but actually somewhat respects him. He has fought hard for what he believes is right, and that deserves respect even if she is on the opposite side.


Character Death: Perfectly fine.

 

[Serano]

Legendless: Love the character! The focus on the internal drama is something I'm really looking forward to seeing how it works out. I feel like I have so many questions about her life, but I suppose I will wait to when the RP starts to find those out.


I also like have you portrayed the angels and Paladins. It's an interesting contradiction the angels have, and not one I had considered but am certainly open to. One quick question, I noticed that your family was a religious one. Would you say that your character though was a believer? Even at one point? And what about now? This could have some bearing later on in the RP.


Alkonost: Ah, the first Angel sympathizer! Good to see we will have some that have contradicting views from the others. A quick note about the church: The mainstream churches now teach "Doctrine" along with their religious texts as well, weaving them into it. There is also less and less talk about God's love and forgiveness, only the harsh rhetoric of Doctrine.


There are those that resist though, in a pacifist way. That is an Underground church. They continue to teach the holy texts but exclude that of doctrine. If they are found out, as some have been from Angel sympathizers, they are dealt as harshly with as those who commit sin against Doctrine. They are taken away from their homes and sent to "Enlightenment Camps", where they are treated miserably and forced to learn Doctrine until the point they are brainwashed.


I would ask you much the same question as I did Legend, are you a believed in God? or Doctrine? Or has your character even made the distinction (as many have not).


Chaotic HeartBrokenIceQueen runeofflame TaleekXD :SU are now open if you are still interested in joining.

 

[The Empress of Ice]

Name: Sapphire Fay Dustin


Age: 32


Location: Old Los Angeles; Within the HQ of the Rebellion


Creature: Human


Abilities/Powers/Training: As a former athlete Sapphire has trained herself within Martial arts, specialize within assassination and weaponry


Weaknesses: Sapphire has been severely traumatized causing her to go into depression at times or randomly space if she is reminded of the event. To put it simply; She has PTSD.


Purpose: Revenge. Sapphire´s only goal is revenge and she believes that by letting the Rebellion prosper, grow and override the angels; she will be able to avenge those she has lost and save what she has left.


Appearance: During depressions

During missions

Sapphire has a scar across her chest and a tattoo on her left shoulder blade of a bleeding chained heart. The chained heart is black in color, so is the blood while the chains are a silvery gray. A blue butterfly hovers over the chained heart, shedding light on it.


Personality: Sapphire is quiet and rather graceful. Always keeping her opinions to herself she only voices her thoughts during meetings and as she commands a group/force. Though don´t get fooled that she is nearly nice or shy. Because she is nothing but a shell wishing for the end of the Angels and their rule. She is fierce and witty when she deems it necessary and judges a person upon their skill of survival.


As she is mentally traumatized, she can be very un-trusting; never letting herself get close to anyone with the fear of losing someone again.


She is extremely protective over Eric as he is her only relative left; Usually only taking jobs involving the care of him. It results in her constant need to keep up with what is going on, what he is up to and her close relationship to him.


History: Sapphire´s parents were not ideal. Her father a alcoholic, rude and down right crude, uncaring father which only cared for money. Her mother wasn´t alike her father at all; her love for her children was immense and strong, it was a true mother´s love. Yet her mother was cursed by lung-cancer affecting Sapphire and her younger sister Erin deeply. Thus her starting to work in a young age; trying to help her mother with the bills, debts and hospital fees. Sadly her mother died a few months after Sapphire´s thirteenth birthday resulting to her moving in with her Uncle Eric, taking her sister with her.


Years went and Sapphire got used to her life with her uncle, taking care of her younger sister happily. Though she practically was under her uncle´s care she felt guilt and decided to continue her habit of seeking work and earning a few hundred bucks a week. It was during such times that she met Stephan. Stephan Dustin was just older then her by a year, Sapphire meeting him when she was sixteen. It was a late evening at her latest work; a diner near home. It was ideal for the young girl. He came in, stroke up a conversation and soon she found out that they both had a few things in common; Including their hopeless fathers and their younger siblings.


When Sapphire turned eighteen, she married Stephen; the love of her life. Everything went great from then on; they got a house in Los Angeles, painted white and dark blue. Her dream house. Their siblings moved in with them; Sapphire taking care of Erin to the very end. Sapphire would visit her Uncle Eric all the time. She even got pregnant; resulting in her daughter Amelia.


But it all got ripped away from her the moment they came. She was twenty years old; a young mother. They came and ripped it all away from her. Every last shred but her Uncle. She still dreams of that very day.


It was a normal day; the sun shining brightly, Amelia asleep. Sapphire walked over to her daughter, joy and pride staring at the being her and her beloved had created. She had sat there watching Amelia for god knows how long when the phone rang. Hurrying to catch it; A big smile graced her lips as it read Stephen. "Did you forget your lunch again?" She automatically asked as she answered; amusement evident in her voice. But she didn´t get a laugh, joke or even a confession from her husband but panic. "Fay, open the news channel. NOW!" He demanded. Frightened she obeyed, swiftly turning the TV on, making sure it wasn´t loud as to wake her child.


Shock was all she mustered as she stared at the screen. What are those? Angels? Doubting herself as Sapphire never been religious she frowned deeply before a scream was heard. What was showing in front of her was the death of the man holding the camera. The screen going dark. It was then that she heard the sobs of her child before silence filled her home.


Running to Amelia she found her dead, a man standing in front of her with a smile. "Farewell.." He muttered before leaving, his wings casting a shadow on her floor.


The very next hour she was to know; her husband was dead. Her child was dead. Her sister was dead and her brother-in-law was dead. She was merely a shattered piece on her bed; tears staining her face until she couldn´t cry no more. Sleep was found to only be awakened by the nightmare that came with it.


Sapphire spent her life with her uncle; two years wasted by mourning her loss and the rest serving her Uncle for the sake of revenge.


-


Do You Know Eric?: Know Eric? Sapphire is Eric´s niece; her late mother´s brother! In fact she works directly under Eric, as she was one of the first people to join his cause and she now leads his assassination force.


Character Death: If it comes to that then yes; Sapphire is free to kill.

 

[Alkonost]

I'd say that Moira is still a strong believer in God and takes the Doctrine as his word, though she is starting to notice it is conflicting with the original texts. I could see her eventually drifting to the passive resistance and underground church as the RP progresses, but for now she follows the Angels' Doctrine.

 

[Legendless]

Hayden was brought up Christian and a believer in God. She mostly rejected the Doctrine but kept on with her religion in private. Now she has let go of any belief, although she may have a tiny sliver left of hope in the God she believed in before the angels came.


But thank you. xD

 

[Serano]

Alkonost Legendless


Good to know from both of you. You are both approved, as is Coro


I will probably be starting up the rp in the next couple of days. The rp will remain open however, allowing people to join if they wish.

 

[Taleek]

I will be working on my sheet and get it in as soon as I can.

 

[Alkonost]

Hopefully we'll get some more Angel supporters before then.

 

[Chaotic]

Name: Amara Grace Lyrenth


Age: 19


Location: Since she was recovered by the rebellion, she has been living in the ruins of Los Angeles beneath the blasphemous blight that the angels have created.


Creature: Blessed Human (Paladin) – Deity Blessed





Abilities/Powers/Training: I believe that you were going to set acceptable powers for the blessed humans and look forward to seeing your choices.


---Even before the war she was a huge fan of martial arts, although she never pursued them with much determination until the war broke out. She enjoyed the connection between mind and body and found them to be quite spiritual experiences. When the war broke out and she was taken in by the rebellion, she began to train moreso than she had before: moderate level skill---


---The angels wield weapons and as such it is necessary for the resistance to wield weapons as well. As such she has begun training with a sword so as to defend against their sword wielding assailants. After all, a sword against an unarmed defense may well equate to loss of limbs and life: Beginner skill level---





Weaknesses: She overthinks everything and as such is capable of rationalizing almost any action if she truly tries. In her eyes even demons and devils are the beloved creatures of her god who have strayed. Their banishment from their god’s grace serves as a punishment for both themselves and their creator, but also proves that there is hope for reconciliation since he didn’t choose to directly destroy them.





She has a paralyzing fear of heights but only when she can see how far she is above the ground. This fear will cause her to spend her time and efforts to return to ground level but will not open her defenses for attacks or render her incapable of defending herself. It is more like she ceases to care about fighting or values her escape to lower heights more than her battle.





Her greatest weakness is merely her humanity though. In spite of being blessed she is still just human and thus suffers all of their weaknesses and pitfalls accordingly.





Purpose: Her purpose is to prevent humanity’s continued fall from grace.

Height: 5’3”


Weight: 117lbs


Body Type: Lithe





Personality: Her personality is a bit intense but always overly thoughtful. She believes in her god with all of the zealotry of the angels themselves, but has quite a different take on the situation at hand than they do. She sees their “salvation” of humanity as a condemnation. The actions of the angels are breaking humanities connection to their lord by destroying the 3 theological virtues and eradicating the very existence of love. The theological virtue of faith was eliminated the very second the angels showed themselves as faith is not needed to explain what can be observed. Hope and charity will also soon fall as the strict control of the angels is eliminating the aspect of free will from the world and thus rendering such things meaningless. The loss of free will is also slowly destroying the one saving grace humanity has: love.





Amara would willingly offer her blade to the cause of destroying all human life on the planet if it was what her god required of her. Fortunately, the fact that the angels are taking over proves in a rather odd way that there is hope for the world. Hope which she knows they are slowly destroying by their very presence. As such, she believes herself to be serving her god by driving them away and saving his creations for him. (Don’t be surprised if her views of good and evil are a bit more skewed than expected during the RP … she believes deeply that what she does is right but doesn’t reason quite like a normal person either.)





History: Amara broke from the Catholic religion in the seventh grade when she saw how horribly they could treat someone who didn’t fit their beliefs to the letter. A boy at her middleschool was openly gay and as such was rather brutally singled out and bullied by the teaching staff while the student body did their best to defend him. In the end it was a futile endeavor that resulted in him terminating his own life. This break from organized religion did not turn her into a godless heathen, surprisingly enough. Rather, it caused her to evaluate her life and world under a new lens and eventually led to a deep spiritual awakening within her and zealous love of the god the Christians parroted about without any true understanding.





When the angels attacked, she was very confused by their actions at first but used the same internalized processes that she had used to reaffirm her beliefs to work her way through everything. What she learned from these ponderings was quite simple: the angels were wrong and needed to be expelled from this world before they could destroy all of humanity. She took up the cause with as much flair as she could and began searching for the rumored rebellion almost immediately. When she became a Blessed Paladin without an angel to have blessed her, she took it as a sign that her beliefs were correct. God wanted the angels stopped and was giving her a chance to save her kind for his glory. She knew then that she would stop them at any cost.





Do You Know Eric?: Yes, she knows Eric. Once she found and managed to get herself captured by the rebellion, they were hesitant to believe that a Paladin could serve any other than the angels. Eric was among the ones whose opinions was taken into account when determining if she should be allowed to survive and prove herself or not. She owes him a lot, in her eyes, and looks up to him as an example of the fighting spirit of her kind. In spite of their different reasons for fighting, she believes that her god will love and reward him for his hand in freeing the people of this world to have a meaningful relationship with their lord.

Weaknesses: Seere has vague weaknesses, apparently. The strongest of holy weapons and energy are the closest things to actually injuring him, but there is one sure way that he'll die. He must battle with his father, and win in order to finally be at peace.


Purpose: Defeat all that oppose him, defeat his father, and slowly poison the earth.


Appearance: As an Arch-Demon, Seere has very bold features from a regular demon. He has a set of two, curved horns that sprout from his cranium, pitch black eyes with a glowing, blood red iris. He contains a slit mouth, that curves into a grin, showing his razor sharp teeth at all times, and scales that patch his skin from all over. Along with his horns, spikes of the same build as his horns sprout from his shoulders, collarbone, and his back. He doesn't have much of a muscle build, but that does not depict his true strength at the least. He has black talons, and tan skin, along with his scales. Below, his legs are covered in fur, almost in the form of a minotaur. Instead of hooves, however, they are feet with three toes that have larger talons than his fingers.


Personality: He is very psychotic at times, though in a stable state. He can understand others, but displays the Seven Deadly Sins by going with his way at all times. Some could call him dominant as such, in this case, or full or pride. Naturally, he is EXTREMELY violent and will not think twice to kill, or torture anyone that defies him in any way. He is corrupted, in all cases. He doesn't show much emotion, except to his grin, which gives him a sinister presence each time.


History: In the beginning of time, light and darkness were created. Light was the good. Darkness was the evil. Two powerful beings ruled these two, and made their own history. Jesus Christ, now the rightful ruler of Heaven, and Satan, the corrupted king of Hell.


Hell is where it all began.


Some time after Satan reclaimed his throne from Beelzebub, he was exiled from Hell. Beelzebub spent some time on Earth, observing humans, and grew bored. So, he sneaked into Hell, and met with a powerful Succubus, who he used for his own pleasures. Beelzebub left quickly, without being noticed, but left the ultimate trace. The Succubus was now pregnant. Soon, Satan would find out, but all too late. On the process of approaching the Succubus, he witnessed something he'd never forget any time soon.


Screaming, the Succubus was going into a painful labor. But not because of the natural labor itself, but something inside of her was ripping. Thus, horns struck out of the Succubus' stomach, and crawled out of the womb, leaving the Succubus to die. Satan looked down upon the baby Arch-Demon, who instead of crying, laughed. Laughing upon his own mother's death.


The Seed of Beelzebub was born.


Satan exiled the Arch-Demon immediately to the outer world, where he would hope that it would die. But the creature grew up, surviving without food. During his time on Earth, his powers grew incredibly, and he found a liking for feasting. Feasting upon humans alike. Seere learned ways of hunting, and has been named a great Arch-Demon among Hell. His only certain goal is to kill his father, who he still looks to meet. For now, he has another goal set.


Destruction.


Do You Know Eric?: Never heard of him.


Character Death: Will not be permitted. I will, however, accept defeat.

Name: Taryn Sibaki


Age: 26


Location: Trapped in a deep underground mountain, as heavy enchanted chains weaken her since they were crafted from light forces. But is currently growing much stronger against it.


Creature: Dark Dragon Witch


Abilities/Powers/Training: This one is immortal, and stays at the age of 26. Her powers are of the dark shadows, and is able to consume the worst souls alive. She can summon a large, rocky dragon if she pleases in order to kill a large portion of humans, or as a distraction. Take over one's mind, mind erase, black shield, and


Wraith.


Weaknesses: She literally HATES crucifixes, and light powers. That is her weakness. Oh, and distracting her with a bad soul that she can consume.


Purpose: To consume all the evil souls here, and slaughter all the good souls.


Appearance:

Personality: She is very cruel, and harsh when it comes to anger. And she gets angry easily. But when not in any of those moods, she is very kind, and sweet. And tries not to think much about being stuck in a mountain chained up.


History: Well, darkness created her. No one knew who she was, but a normal girl. Until some sort of radiant energy supposivly attached itself to her, giving her that power. Ever since she has been growing much stronger, and souls was her energy. Without them, she is weak.


Do You Know Eric?: Nope :3


Character Death: She cannot die, but will accept defeat.

 

[JettSpiralOasis]

Name: Jamie Tyson

​

Age: 23

​

Location: Old Los Angeles

​

Creature: Human

​

Abilities/Powers/Training: From the age of 10, Jamie has always done classes of martial arts, earning herself a black belt. As a normal teenager, despite her classification as a weapon by law, Jamie lived her life out peacefully. When the angels descended from the sky, taking rule as they came upon the earth, Jamie hoped for them to be as beautiful in all aspects as she had heard them to be. Of course that never happened.

​

​

Jamie, finding that these angels really weren't helping them in the way she hoped, fought her away against them. She escaped angels heretics countless times. And even found her way to Old Los Angeles. Because of the struggle to live there, Jamie has learned how to hunt. With her skills in both defense and hunting, she has tried to help as many people regain their freedom from the angels. She will fight and struggle, all for the sake of what's right.

​

​

Weaknesses: Jamie is human, what weakness will she not have? She's struggled immensely due to this fact. She fears for her life, and sometimes her want to live can affect her thoughts. Jamie is an outstanding caring person, and thus is her weakness to save as many as she can. And despite her age, Jamie has not once driven a car. Since she had received her license, Jamie's vehicle has been a moped. Jamie's strongest weakness might be the fear of spiders. She is a tough girl, but when spiders are involved all that disappears.

​

​

Purpose: Sure she wants to survive, she was sure everyone did. Some in different ways then others. Her purpose is to fight, whether it be to fight for survival or fight the enemy she claimed. Either way she fights. With all her heart. For everyone.

​

((This picture was the closest one I could get to what I would describe Jami. But with some adjustments. Ear ears are pierced, but not like what you see. She has industrial piercing in her left her with three pierces on her lobe, while on her right ear she only has three pierced on her lobe. Jaime also has a pierced nose, a stud on her left nostril. Instead of that weird tattoo on her arm, Jamie has abstract art forming the words Live. Laugh. Love. in place, wrapping around her arm.))

​

​

​

​

Personality: Jamie has always been a caring girl. Honest and trustworthy. Jamie always took life as it came and went with the flow, but since the angels came she hasn't had the time to do that. She doesn't follow the flow anymore, and she plans her every move. Jamie was able to open up greatly to people she liked. But now she has trouble accepting people, letting them in to her life. She isn't rude, she keeps her caring and kind attitude. She just doesn't let anyone know much about her.

​

​

​

History: Jamie lived in Los Angeles with her Mother and Grandparents. After waking up from a concussion that was caused by a car accident, Jamie found that her father in attempting to save her and her mothers life, had collided with the oncoming car on the drivers side only. Instead of a head on collision, the drivers side of their car had been completely crushed and ripped from the other side of the car. As the passenger seat and back seat, where Jamie sat, only flipped over and slid across the road, her mother and herself came out alive.

​

Because of her life or death situation and her feelings on lightness and darkness, Jamie could only hope that her faith was still right. When the angels came she believed even more then she could have in her faith. But it was when her grandparents, strongly faithful in their religion, followed the angels her world changed. Her mother was ripped in two between beleieving in her faith she grew up with, or her daughter which she raised. Being unable to choose, her Grandparents forced her to follow them. Leading her away from Jamie. As such, these actions were what made Jamie's life changing event.

​

​

Do You Know Eric?: Although Jamie has never once met him personally, she has heard of Eric's great battle and highly respects him. There's been occasions when she's managed to catch a glimpse of him. Jamie hopes to one day meet him, for he is one reason as to why she fights back.

​

​

Character Death: Character Death completely acceptable.
