LSD
overview.
"Into every generation, there is a chosen one. One girl in all the world. She alone will wield the strength and skill to stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness; to stop the spread of their evil and the swell of their numbers. She is the Slayer.”
It's fucking brutal out here! For one, vampires and demons exist. Hell, haunted houses are a very real threat to your life. That's not the end of it. There are actual humans who do their bidding, sometimes without being put into one of those trances that you hear about in old movies. They do it of their own free will because evil is evil. And, there is talk of an old evil that was vanquished long ago rising back to life, slowly, through these pawns that reside in the seemingly innocuous town of Sunnydale, California. Is there anything to stand against the diabolical forces that threaten to prey on the innocent...and not so innocent?
New to Sunnydale High is the Slayer, whose origin is as bloody as it gets. Along for the ride are her half-brother and her Watcher, who is their legal guardian following the gruesome deaths of their mother and her father. They will acquire new allies along the way, as well as a few powerful enemies. Ultimately, the balance and order of the world will be fought for at the very mouth of Hell. Will that be enough to quell the oldest of evils? Are they gonna survive the many days and nights of fighting the fight? Will they make it to fucking senior prom? Let's find out.
roles
roles.
the slayer
open
Ever feel like you're gifted but cursed at the same time? Followed by death and destruction, the Slayer lives in a constant flux of fear and courage. Her mother and father were killed because she didn't know who she was early enough. Her guilt for this is worn on her sleeve and she has vowed not to let another one of her loved ones die in vain ever again. As a former gymnast team captain--yes, it's a thing--she was already in great shape to do this. But, with powers like superior strength, speed, reflexes, and a god-damned healing factor, she's jacked up and ready to tear the next Big Bad a new one.
The older half-brother, who nearly lost his mind on the night of the murders. He was placed in a mental hospital, for his own good in the end. In the hospital, strange things seemed to happen around him...things that the Watcher hoped that modern medicine would be able to mend away. To the Watcher, it seems weird that this young man was able to...nevermind. The brother is back and ready to help--and also, finish his senior year out, at UC Sunnydale.
the watcher
open
He was supposed to help them. He was supposed to protect them until she could do it herself. Maybe if he'd approached the parents before approaching her, they'd have had a chance. But, we can't dwell on what was supposed to happen. The Watcher has his tricks and talents, passed down through the Brotherhood for generations. He is her teacher and her shield. And, owing her two life debts for the kin that were taken away from her that terrible night, he trains her vigorously and sternly to make sure that he atones for the sin of negligence.
the best friend
open
They're a little bookish, but that really doesn't matter. He/She is a breath of fresh air that is utterly human and helpful. They also know what they research and they've always had a nose in the occult section. Usually seen in the library, they make use of being a complete nerd brain. Plus, they've got a little bit of magic on their side...whether they know it or not.
the rival
open
She's the "It" girl, the one everyone looks to be or worships. Queen Bee material, she's never heard a no in her life. However, she's prone to being the damsel in distress type. Usually, she narrowly misses being taken advantage of--or worse--out of sheer luck. But, since the Slayer's arrival to town, her luck has run dry. Real dry. She usually needs saving, but if you think she's gonna continue to be the bait for the Slayer and her "minions", you have another thing coming.
the lover
open
To rebel against your nature is hard enough. To fall for your attempted killer is unheard of. Since the first time they skirmished, He/She has known that there was something different about this girl. They've been around for a couple hundred years, but they've never met someone like her. Maybe they have a soul. Maybe it's the sheer rage and passion she brings forth from them. But, for the first time in a long time, they can almost feel their heart beating. And, they're not about to lose that feeling now.
the first
open
Mankind has tried long and hard to give it a name, to give it a story. To explain why it exists, to reason with it. It exists for corruption. It wants to take over and let chaos and calamity ensue. It feeds on the wickedness of man and demon alike. There's no reason for its action. It just is. Even without a form, its power over the evils of the world is vast in magnitude. And, if it's plan to destroy light and good prevails--if it gets what it wants and takes a true form-- it will be the end of all things.
the annointed
open for two
The right and left hands of the First, these two demons are not as powerful as the ancient demons they were born from...but they make due. Having mixed their blood with mortals, creating Vampires, they control those who feed on other humans and perpetuate the race. One is whole heartedly loyal to the First, while the other wishes to be free of their role. What they share is their ruthlessness and the sheer will to see their goal take form.
the outcasts
open for three
No one else may be paying attention to the fact that the world is coming to an end, but these three are. And, they are not about to just go down without a fight. One is a hacker, able to access both classified files and texts that not even the Pope has seen. Another is a practicing Wiccan who does no harm but takes no shit. And, the last one keeps the other two in check, a brawler by nature with a hot head but a good heart.
rules
rules.
rule one.
Respect the rules and regulations set forth by the admin of RPN. They're there for a reason. If you need a refresher, click here.
rule two.
Respect my authority over this rp. I reserve the right to boot you out if you treat me or anyone else involved in this rp like sh*t. If you have nothing nice to say, don't even sign up. If you decide to bud in on something that isn't your business and it's in my jurisdiction to act on your stupidity, prepare to have a horrible time. There will be LGBTQ+ themes, POC, and social commentary(a little, but enough to mention). If you don't like it, the door is revolving and calling your name.
rule three.
Please have a discord. I intend on doing a lot of plotting and socializing on that platform when it comes to this rp, and it'd be really convenient to communicate with your fellow cast mates there. If you don't have one, I can try to set up some sort of communication via PM. Also, this is going to be a semi-literate project. I expect full attendance if you are going to be involved in the story and its characters. Please don't ghost. If you want to drop it at any point, I'll understand. But, give me some heads up before the story gets rolling, because it's hard to put your neck out there over and over again--even with a great idea. Life comes up, I know this very well...but, some consideration goes a long way with anybody. Thanks!
