KH, Persona and Mass Effect... three of my favorite games. Anyway, welcome! I hope you enjoy yourself here!
So...cold... Yet somehow burning too. The girl just couldn't stop shaking, not knowing how she felt. Besides this morning it had been days since drinking that...stuff they gave them. She just wanted to go on without ever touching the canteen again or die. But it didn't seem like her will was strong enough. Welcome to Zepar's clan. We welcome you to the group and hope you can enjoy yourselves here. Yesterday the female demon spoke these words to them. And while she did so they got to see the outside world once again. How long had it been? It felt like...years. But she was sure it was only a month or two. "Months?" Mary's voice shook. Time didn't make sense here. It at least made sense before all this, even if she counted the days for nothing. That was her one good trait, to always know the date and time. Even without a watch. People were impressed... At least when she still interacted with them. After getting fired from her last job there were less and less interactions. She wanted a fresh start so she left her home in Maine and headed to New York. Now she was here. There is no escape, after all. After a few months of training and preparation you are finally ready to meet your fellow clan members. Training? Ah...the fighting, she assumed. She barely scraped by. Why, she was sure the only reason she made it at all was because of her healing. In fact she tried letting the other person win during her first fight but that didn't work... The penalty for not trying was hard to bare too. No food or drink... Plus the lights were turned off. She never feared the dark before that. I hope you all get along. Unsteady gazes passed by the lot. How did one get along with others, again? She wasn't sure... She did enjoy the light, though. Even as it burned her eyes. That day was spent just attempted - and failed - interactions and some laps around the compound (a old boot camp sort of place, Mary thought). It was nice, moving her legs again. However it was hard; she managed only one and a half lap. Embarrassing, really. She lost her strength... "Embarrassed?" What an odd thing to be worried about now. The only use it proved was a distraction from the pain rising in her chest. Breathing was so hard... That distraction was soon tossed aside though, the door on the opposite end opening. Instantly the female started forcing quick breathes and raised to her feet, shakily. Weakly. She waited. And waited. Expecting the next monster or crazed fighter to enter. But when none did she remembered this is what happened yesterday. It was the sign to walk out, right? So she did so, slowly and carefully. Out in the hall it seemed like a few others were also exiting their rooms. There was nowhere else to go but around the corner then up the stairs, which led to a small, empty barn. Outside was dark this time. The sun hadn't risen above the horizon yet. There was a strong chill, signs of frost on the grass below. Fences off in the distances, few other buildings throughout the place, and her. Lilim. Smiling. Waiting for everyone to exit the barn. And Mary's first thought was just the hope of not having to run again.
Accepted. IC thread is posted.
Alone, ambushed., taken. Everyone's story sounds similar. They were estranged or simply had no one. Living on their own or on the streets. Bad relationships with family and friends. People who were easy to take without gaining attention. That's who he took. Him. The demon, Zepar. Isolated, ignored, starved. That's how it was for days. Each stolen person in a different, empty brick room. There were no doors nor windows. No escape. It must have seem as if they were taken just to die here. But at that moment someone else is thrown into the room. "Fight. Only the winner survive," the demon said, his voice coming from nothing visible. Did you fight? Or just get lucky? Either way, you survived. It continued like this for a few more days, each victory rewarded with food and water. Soon the people were replaced with Ghouls, zombie-like beings. You fought those, too. And you're still here. A month of captivity passes before you see it. A metal canteen, the same which your well-earned water came in. However it's no such thing. Drinking this burns. It tastes like ash, though still a liquid. If you spit it out you'd see something black. It looked like blood... You get nothing else from your victories. If you want to continue living you have no choice. Drink or perish. Besides...the taste seems to be growing on you. Welcome to Zepar's clan. We welcome you to the group and hope you can enjoy yourselves here. There is no escape, after all. After a few months of training and preparation you are finally ready to meet your fellow clan members. I hope you all get along. You're family now. So please be on your best manners. You wouldn't want to make a bad first impression on your new family members, right? rules demons side effects bestiary demon hierarchy eating souls locations ✧ The icons for the NPCs are clickable. ✧ It should go without saying that godmodding is not allowed. ✧ Same for having your character know things they couldn't have possibly learned any other way than breaking the fourth wall. ✧ You can play a demon character, in the same clan as Zepar or not. These characters will be limited to four other than my own. (If you want to know more specifics please ask me about whatever it is. I left some stuff out on purpose but if you're playing a demon then I can tell you.) ✧ Mini events are allowed. Anything big has to be ran by me or at least told to me. ✧ There's no character limit at this time. ✧ And that's all. I'm hopeful nothing else will be needed but these can be edited. Not without a mention of it, though. ✧ Also, this is optional, but if you have skype add me (variaprince) for RP related things. Otherwise I can just send you a message. Either way works though. ✧ Demons come in all shape and sizes. It's often said, however, that the strongest resemble humans. There are exceptions to this saying though. And demons tend to look more human-like while they're in the human realm meaning their appearance changes as they travel between realms. ✧ Demon blood can be highly addictive. How strong the addiction is depends on the person's will. However no matter how strong they are there has not been a single case where withdrawal wasn't fatal. Stronger ones can last longer, sure. But not forever. ✧ That being said for some reason only humans with some kind of ability can drink demon blood. If anything else did it would die or be poisoned. And it acts like acid on most man-made things besides humans unless they have no abilities. (no, it won't work on anything in the compound. there's magic to prevent that. so they can't use it to escape or anything.) ✧ Demons are typically very prideful about their horns. There's bit of racism to demons without. And the prettier and stronger the horns are the more powerful other demons think they are. This isn't actually true however. ✧ Drinking demon blood has a lot of side effects, both good and bad. Or neither. How much and how fast the changes are depends on the intake. ✧ Humans drinking demon blood will have some minor appearance changes. No they won't grow horns or anything (that could only happen if they infuse with a demon or familiar) however their eyes might change color whenever they use their powers or drink a lot, the color depending on the demon's eye color whose blood they drank (possibilities: gold, red (varying shades) and white.) They also get stronger and faster. How much so depends on their build (weak people won't suddenly be able to throw a ton but those who work out might). ✧ Depending how much one drinks the cravings will change. If they drink a lot and often they might need a constant supply. Otherwise it's only every now and then. Also the more the take the less and less they will want normal human food and drinks. ✧ Withdrawal is extremely painful. At first it only feels like a bad case of the flu but as it progresses the person going through it will find it hard to even move due to crippling pain. Blindness could even occur during it (it typically goes away once they start again but there's been cases where it didn't) and the other senses can also dull. ✧ Ghouls: Though they have human figures they have very few things that humans do, such as organs, hair and the ability to talk or think. They're zombies basically, with their only goal being to hunt other living things. ✧ Familiars: Are typically animals, mythical and average ones. Are summoned from spirit realms and enter a contract with whoever summoned them. Some can speak, but not all. (Limited to demons only at the start. May change. Also just an optional part of the story.) ✧ More to come. ✧ Sins: As everyone knows there are seven deadly sins personified in demons. These are like royalty in Hell and the strongest of them all. Luckily they are normally on good terms or at least don't look for a fight because even in Hell a fight between any one of them could be devastating. They're also trapped, barred from entering the human world. (Cannot be app'd without permission.) ✧ Hell Knights: Servants of the Sins. They have no real personalities to speak of so some call them puppets. They're slow and have dulled senses however once they are assigned a target they never stop coming after it. There's also no records of anyone ever being able to stop one before. (Each Sin has from 1 to 13 known Hell Knights under their command.) ✧ Demon Lords: (Typically elemental demons; Fire & Water being opposites. Then Wind & Earth.) With each lord commanding an army of demons they are a force to be reckoned with. Not to mention each has their own unique abilities and weapons at their disposal. Though few stray from Hell as they're constantly battling for territory and soldiers there. However Zepar did, deciding to try a new way to find numbers for his troops. ✧ Common Demons: Ranging from those who look like humans to those who could never take human form. These tend to be servants to other demons as they try to work up their way up ranks and gain power and followers. ✧ Lesser Demons: Never in human form and are very small. Goblins, imps, and the like. They're normally tricksters and often looked down on by other demons. ✧ Something humans and most beings cannot do but demons rely on. It's not only their food but their source of power. The more they eat the more abilities they can obtain. However that's to say if they're able to eat a lot. Typically demons have limits. Lesser demons cannot eat even one while Sins can eat countless. Lords typically have the power of 10-100 at a given time and common demons can handle up to twenty, if they're lucky/strong. No one knows about Hell Knights. ✧ But just because a demon eats a soul of another who could control fire doesn't mean they will be able to do the same. First they have to be compatible with that power, otherwise it's just an energy boost, one that burns up quickly at that (unintentional pun). And even if they are compatible the power can only last for as long as the soul remains within them. Using their power burns it up so they're limited and temporary supplies. ✧ As souls are so valuable they are kind of a currency in Hell and even in the human realm. Both demons and non-demons will trade, sell and buy with souls. This is blackmarket stuff in most places but some areas in our realm accepts soul trading as a legal act. ✧ Zepar has taken refuge in a town that was abandoned after the gold rush. It's in the middle of nowhere with thick woods all around and magical charms that both prevent outsiders from finding it and hold the clan members inside. ✧ An old compound is the base for his clan. It still looks rundown on the outside but the inside is nice and clean, a place where most wouldn't mind living in. ✧ Under the compound is a system of tunnels where the brick rooms where the new clan members found themselves starting off and will be living in until they have earned Zepar's trust (they're no longer stuck there all day however they're always watched still + how long it took to first leave the room is up to how strong they are but one month minimum).

Everyone is accepted and added so far.
I never want to have kids but I have a nephew who's addicted to tv and games. He's four, five next month. Feels like it's way too soon, especially when first thing he does upon waking is watch tv. And throws a fit when he can't. Hoping it'll change but yeah. Agreeing with the argument kids shouldn't have too much tech. However phones to be able to call parents and/or 911 is important, once they're able to use a phone and all. Though it seems very hard to be control everything. Me and both of my siblings found ways around the rules as did many of our friends. So balancing tech and activities outside is a good thing to teach. My mom did that when we got our first computer.
For Christmas it's always been one expensive gift or a few cheap gifts. Past few years I've always said I'd be okay with nothing but always get some stuff anyway. This year I'm looking forward to new clothes since that's always a thing and I don't have many right now. Maybe a laptop if nothing else but that's pricey. Idk nothing is still okay.

The temptation to do everything is overwhelming. But I'm not that insane. Maybe at some point but ofc starting off at one only. I think it's coming down to the two original ideas and alphas reboot. I found this which would be most likely used on the Djinn one. The demon clan one would need someone to volunteer being a faction leader most likely. I could do both faction leaders but probably more interesting if not, you know? So if there's anyone interested in that. And here's the Alphas (boo broken image links) thread for anyone who wasn't in it. Out of these three a vote would be awesome.
After becoming active again (and proving to myself I can stay this way by continuously checking KHV daily) I think I'll try making a RP again however I don't know what people would want to join. Thus here I am. (Any of these could be co-owned too.) One idea was created after I went back and watched some childhood classics of mine, Zatch Bell being the latest and probably easiest to RP out of all of them. So that would be idea number one. For those who do not know it it's basically beings from another world coming to our world in their fight to become king. They come here with a spellbook that can only be read by a human, each human being limited to only one book. Second idea would be based off of the game Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis. It's a school for alchemists. Straight forward. There would be twists too of course. This idea will likely require active rpers who would be able to host their own mini events and the such. Both would not require knowledge of the series and will only be accepting original characters. I have two original ideas one involving witches/warlocks and djinn (loosely based off of the bartimaeus trilogy and now that I think about it the setting reminds me of umineko too as they will likely end up trapped in a manor and/or city as deaths occur). The Djinn summoned to do the witches/warlocks evil deeds while also seeking their freedom. Or who knows, they could be loyal. That's up to the rpers. Idea two here would likely end up being a series. It's based off of a story idea more like and would have to convert into a RP form more but it's about humans with latent powers (nothing extreme, just the basics like small visions, quicker healing, seeing/talking to spirits. Things you hear stories about irl really) captured and force fed demon blood and trained to be loyal servants in a demon clan. The process would be a brutal, live or die, kill or be killed type situation. Starts out in isolation though so the rp would have to start after or half way through as they start getting paired up. Idk. Would take a vote on it. There'd be factions within the clan and a chance of a bloody uprising. Or even a quick one but with the different factions still to worry about. Dependent on the rpers again. Would also have a few special slots in addition to normal roles, maybe (like the clan leader, etc). I'd also be up to rebooting old rps of mine, mainly School of Despair or Billionaire's Game or others if there's anyone who'd want me to.
There didn't seem to be many people who took joy in everything they did like Andrea did. From school work to even everyday things. Waking up, showering, getting dressed. She found it especially funny when her clothes held some irony like they did today. A perfect outfit for an outing. Now she only hoped others would be there so it would not be too dull. Because even if she enjoyed everything nothing was better than enjoying things with others and being there to witness their deeds. And who knows. Even beings like them needed saving sometimes. ⎡Isn't it a lovely day?⎦ There was no visible person being spoken to or anyone to hear her words. There rarely was, her roommate often absent. They were likely hanging out with friends or something of the sort. Or maybe they were here often just rarely at the same time she was. Who knew. In any case it seemed time to go now, so she exited the room. Maybe if she were lucky someone would run into her on the way. If not then at least there wouldn't be need any worry of being late.
That was quick and it looks very nice. Thank you!

oh my gosh no it's been too long we need to talk. do you got a twitter or skype?
→ The voice chuckled. "Then I'll choose for you."
its only the truth
Everyone appears normal to Allen as he wanders to Sector D, until... After turning a corner you instantly notice that all the buildings around you have vanished. Even the ones from the way you came are gone. No one can enter where you are right now. The sky flickers like a computer screen before becoming lines of zeros and ones however the road remains the same. You hear a voice next, filled with static and as hard to identify as Adia, though it's a different tone than theirs. "Select a challenger."
ooc: terribly sorry for the huge delay. ive been preoccupied. He sat in front of the group, tapping his paw impatiently as a few of them asked boring, straightforward questions. This was less fun than he'd wanted it to be. "Aww, you guys are no fun!" He jumped, stuffing his face into his paws as if he was sad. "This was supposed to be a BEAR-y exciting Q&A, not a snooze-a-palooza!" He walked through the crowd, pointing out the one who'd asked him the first question. Suddenly though, he spun in place and pulled out... a rose? And he looked like he was blushing. "BEAR-y well, handsome." He twirled a bit and tossed the rose into the boy's lap and put his paws on his cheeks. "You should really pay more attention in class. After all, hotties aren't gonna be on your finals!" He tiptoed over to another boy, almost mockingly, and spun again, this time appearing in a martial arts belt - half black and half white. He started to punch the air, huffing and puffing as if he were breaking a sweat. "Maaaaaybe. And who knows, you might get your own dojo if you keep your grades up." He jumped in the air, letting the belt fall onto the floor in front of the boy and spun towards the last... erm, boy? Girl? Eh, he really didn't care at this point. He was suddenly wearing a red beret and holding a canvas and paintbrush. "I'm BEAR-y sorry, but..." He turned the canvas towards the group, letting them all see the painting of him. It was mediocre at best, but he still felt like it was the next Mona Lisa. "Self-portraits are the only way to go! Upupu!" He saw the girl offer up a pencil and quickly smacked it away with his brush. "Hey! You could poke someone's eye out with that." Then the last person. "No one leaves during an announcement! That's just BEAR-y rude." He threw the hat and supplies off to the side and turned back around. "As headmaster, I'd hate for anything to happen to my superb little student body... yet."
