Rise { OOC }

​

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?

  ✧ 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).
