John A. Zoidberg Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 [spoiler=Plot] Modern times are hell, that much is for sure. This city, though... this city is the worst of it all. Everyone calls it things such as Averine or "The Big City," (mostly because it's larger than most other modern cities) but only a few know what it really is. Literally, it's just an awful place to live. Figuratively, it's Hell, Hades, Underworld, the Nether- whatever you really prefer. However, the lines between literal and figurative have been a bit... blurred, if you will. For years we've tried to keep the children secret from everyone (for their own safety, of course), but the Riders won't have it. You see, a Nighttime Child is a rare (but fully possible) phenomenon caused through a Possession gone wrong. All demons from, well, wherever they come from, attempt to house themselves in every newborn child directly at birth. Obviously, this is to release itself into the city and wreak havoc. The majority of the time, the demon will be scared off, and the child will grow up normally. The minority of the time, the demon fully possesses the child, and causes utter chaos. The child usually must be killed to end this. However, very rarely, the demon will make a mistake when entering the child, forcing it into the body, but giving it no control. Thus, as the child gets older, the demon is housed with it. At young adulthood, the demon will make the child aware of something very important. Whenever the child is in trouble, he or she can release the demon temporarily. While the demon is released, the child's human body goes unconscious, and it gains control over the demon, which has some form of power or ability. That's why the Nighttime Children are dangerous, and kept hidden from society. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to keep them all hidden. There could be one anywhere you look- they appear no different than a normal human being. The Riders, however, want to be rid of Nighttime Children forever. Realistically, there's no way to do that, as it's a natural birth process. That doesn't stop the Riders, though. The Riders are essentially a large gang. They carry around big guns, ride on motorcycles, and other "tough guy" things. Each Rider's motorcycle has a special ability that will help them either catch a Child or kill one. Some of them kill the Nighttime Children with the knowledge that they must live with the guilt of murder forever, but they are supposedly bettering the world. Others take pleasure from the killing. Those are the dangerous ones. The Riders have a base near the center of Averine, and many outposts throughout (to keep order, essentially). They don't hide, they make their dominance over the Children known, and they want to be feared. If anything, they need it. Without fear, the Children would have control. However, anything can happen in a Hell like this, can't it? [/spoiler] [spoiler=Kind of a Map] [img]http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/397/averine.png[/img] [/spoiler] [spoiler=Rules] 1.

He often jokes about things that others hold sacred, and continues the joke even when it goes to far. In truth, he's not [i]nice[/i] to anyone. He just tolerates certain people whenever he sees fit. Bio: Zakkern was born into the life of a Nighttime Child, like all other Nighttime Children. No one, however, knew it. He grew up, leading a normal life, growing closer with his demon, Vieshkenchek. He considered Vieshkenchek his only friend, as most other human children ostracized him (hence his insensitive personality). When he had hit age fourteen, living completely normally until then, Vieshkenchek revealed the truth of his abilities, and told Zakkern to use them at his will. This made Zakkern grow even closer to Vieshkenchek, as they'd then began what could be considered a bit of a conquest of revenge. Zakkern utilized Vieshkenchek's abilities to make those that had treated him worse than the others (specifically three boys, whose names are not important). They played it off as a simple kidnapping, leaving only the boy and his demon to know the truth. In the years following, Zakkern also honed his physical talents, using his height and skinniness to his advantage. He also took Kendo lessons, feeling that the way of the sword would serve him nearly as well as Vieshkenchek. Non-Demon Fighting Style: Kendo (which is actually a real thing, look here: [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kendo"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kendo[/url]) Appearance: A tall, thin teenage boy. His hair is medium-length, and he always shaves his facial hair. He generally dresses in an inconspicuous manner out of fear of being recognized. Location(see map): Central Averine Demon Name: Vieshkenchek (Vee-shkin-check) Demon Personality: Vieshkenchek is very persuasive, but also very kind. Though he is a demon, he is fully willing to aid Zakkern without any personal gain. (Optional) Demon Bio: Vieshkenchek had a similar life to Zakkern in the Demon World. He was ostracized by his fellow demons and forced into solitude, hence his clear gratitude for being inside of Zakkern. Demon Fighting Style: Vieshkenchek has two skills. The first envelops the foe in darkness, clouding their vision. The other causes all nearby darkness to become poisonous, so that any non-demons standing in it suddenly become weakened. Demon Appearance: Vieshkenchek is a very large demon. He wears bandages around all of his body except for one of his eyes. Underneath the bandages, however, he has black, wrinkled skin, and a humanoid body. [/spoiler] Feel free to reserve and stuff, but I'm going to let a fair few people in.

John A. Zoidberg Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Erm, that's simply not detailed enough. You may want to try viewing some apps from around the forum from more high-leveled RPers to get the feel of how it should work. Also, maybe join a few other RPs to get some experience. This will be open for a long time, so you don't need to worry about not getting in right at the beginning. Also, you should probably improve on your grammar. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

--------------- Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Add a gender option just saying. [b]Name:[/b] Cirque Caprice (M) [b]Age:[/b] 20 [b]Personality:[/b] Cirque is one of those timid types who don't fight by choice. In fact, he's never gotten into a fight, since he and his parents try really hard to hide the fact that he's an [b][u][color=blue]NTC[/color][/u][/b]. He always carries this feeling of self-loathing for that, too, because his parent's devoted so much of their time and effort just to keep him safe. He does, however, give people the benefit of the doubt when meeting them, and is generally nice and friendly. To some level, he's even made friends with his demon. However, in a way, this makes him gullible to fall into traps easily. [b]Bio:[/b] He was born to one of the poorer families of Hel- I mean Averine. They were always JUST short on money when it came to anything except necessities (like food or warmth). When they first found out Cirque was a Nighttime Child, they hid him from virtually everyone. When it was time for him to go to school, they ordered him to talk to no one, to do nothing extraneous, and come straight home. He obey them to the letter, until he got to eleventh grade. There he met Soleil. He quickly fell in love with her, and her with him. However, she broke it off, because it turned out that she was an [b][u][color=blue]NTC[/color][/u][/b], too. He didn't have the guts to tell her about him, yet. By senior year, she was killed, and he regretted not telling her ever since. As soon as he turned 18, he left his house, and went to live in Northeast Averine, living in a crappy apartment, working minimum wage. [b]Non-Demon Fighting Style:[/b] Technically, he would use a staff, but he's never done so, as he doesn't fight. [spoiler=Appearance][img]http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs47/f/2009/248/2/0/Locke_Cole_____not_in_Dissidia_by_Wessel.png[/img][/spoiler] [b]Location:[/b] Northeast Averine [b]Demon Name:[/b] Adramelech [b]Demon Personality:[/b] Is actually rather polite and calm with Cirque, for some strange reason. He seems to encourage Cirque when he's down, and insists that Cirque isn't worthless. Despite being a demon, he seems rather benevolent. Or perhaps it is a ruse?

Daigusto Sphreez Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Name: Jax 'The King' Runner Age(no less than 14): 26 Gender: Male, yo. Personality: Fierce, harsh, alpha-male. Just a few words that come to mind when Jax is mentioned. He isn't called 'The King' for nothing and commands attention amongst fellow bikers. He is hot-headed and hits first - thinks later. Bio: Brought up in the rough outskirts of North-West Averine. His was an adopted child, his parents didn't want him and he never knew who they were. Some children grow up well despite this, however, for Jax his troubled tantrums and vicious actions were just the start of things to come. Eventually, even his adaptees deserted him for there life was in danger and Jax showed little appreciation for there efforts in his upbringing. He became homeless and lived off the land, and never truly knew anything about the so called Nighttime children. However, once he'd figured that the biggest and baddest gang around, the riders, made it there mission to eradicate them. He made it his mission to join. He grew closer with a lot of the members since, when he wasn't been obnoxious, could actually be good fun to be around. Either way, he has no problem removing these children with emotion detached and has no moral values upheld at all. Fighting Style: As a thugish brute, he learned Shotokan Karate, as it was specificly designed to kill people with, rather than just brawl. Therefore being far more deadly than just any standard variation of the art. His main skill is in charging at his opponents, using his giant steel shield to protect himself from various blows and magic, something even he feared secretly when the prospect of facing a demon dawns. Weapon Choice: Mechanical Chainsaw. It requires fuel to work, but is incredibly dangerous. With long reach and far flying sparks that can irritate and splinter those even far away. If it runs out of fuel, the handle extends into crossbow, which shoots an anchor, ideal for stopping targets from escaping, although quite inaccurate. Appearance: Very muscular, tall and angry. He does much to increase his imposing stance by wielding a steel shield and chainsaw. He is a skinhead and wears jet black shades. He very much has the typical biker look, with a denim overcoat and black trousers, with bladed boots and metal knuckles dusters and dog tags to match. Location(see map): North-West Averine. Motorcycle skill: Cyclone Saw: Jax ignites his engine to intense levels, his motorcycle is fitted with extendable polesaws that reach from his left and right sides, whilst wielding his own chainsaw, his motorcycle becomes a modern day chariot, with spikes sticking out from every direction except the back, everything in his path will get sliced to pieces as a result. Unless of course, they can dodge the harrowing charge which sprawls over a wide area, or protect themselves somehow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desu the Blue Nerd Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Name: Lucas (Or Luke for short) Ward Age: 16 Gender: Male [spoiler=Personality] Luke is known to be pretty anti social and not actually speak all that much when he’s first met. Getting to know him doesn’t really open him up that much more but those who do know him a bit more just realize he’s an extremely calm and relaxed guy despite being an NTC with an overly obnoxious demon and was practically raised by a cult he never cared for. He can be pretty neutral about pretty much anything and tends to avoid combat unless he absolutely has to. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Bio] Luke was born as the son of members of a cult and grandson of its leader who owned a museum that the cult was run from. The cult believed that the NTC were meant to bring about the destruction of the world by allowing wherever it was demons came from to swallow their world and those who helped would gain eternal happiness in this new world. They were known to take in nighttime children and raise them. They’d even train them for combat purposes. Luke was a bit of a special case. Already being the son of some of the cult members and the grandson of the leader didn’t matter as much did his demon. They looked at his demon as a sign that the apocalypse was beginning. The demon that is said to guard the gate to the other side was in their world now and the process was beginning. Of course, being a cult and all they’re pretty much just a bunch of horse sh*t. Even Lucas could tell from a young age. He never cared for their beliefs and he can’t say he really misses them. They were a bunch of pieces of sh*t cult members after all. It was only a few weeks ago when the cult’s cover was blown and the Riders found out about them. They raided the museum and slaughtered everyone. Except of course for Luke who was able to escape and in the process take the gauntlets off some knight armor that was only display. He figured it was the best choice since he was always at his best in hand to hand combat and a sword would be just a bit too obvious. [/spoiler] Non-Demon Fighting Style: A very relaxed and calm pseudo-boxing/street fighting style using gauntlets. He tends to focus more on his quick fists but may get some kicks in every so often if the oppurtunity is open. [spoiler=Appearance] [IMG]http://i995.photobucket.com/albums/af80/Kikyo-_-/Anime/AnimeGuy.png[/IMG] [/spoiler] Location: Southeastern Demon Name: Cerberus Demon Personality: Cerberus is an extremely loud and obnoxious demon. But that’s to be expected from a demon with three heads each fighting for dominance which tends to be the middle head. Cerberus has the tendency to be extremely violent and angrily pissed off which is more or less expected from a three-headed mutt who probably has rabies. Demon Bio: I’ll actually keep this unknown for now. Demon Fighting Style: When the demon’s powers are unleashed the first noticeable difference is that his gauntlets transform into claws with chains wrapped around them. The second is that his hair gains black highlights in his hair that matches the color of Cerberus’ fur. The next noticeable thing is when he will actually get into combat. His normally relaxed fighting style becomes wild and nearly unpredictable. The chains wrapped around the claws may actually also be used. His natural abilities are also lifted so that his hearing and nose are at similar heights to a dog’s and he has far greater strength and speed. Demon Appearance: A large three-headed dog with pure black fur. All three of the dog's necks have spiked collars. A long chain splits into three and connects the three collars while resembling a leash. White foam is commonly seen running from the mouths of the beast. [color=#0000cd]Okay, how's that?

VGVentus Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Name: William Zeal A.k.a. Zeal or Will Age(no less than 14): 15 Personality: William Zeal is a wise-cracking, energetic boy who knows not of rules and regulations due to his lack of disipline. Zeal believes that the world is his oyster and that he can do what he likes without having to follow any set of rules. Though others may see him as a rule-breaking brat, Will believes that he is actually qutie normal for someone like him, thinking that anyone would act exactly like him if they were to live his life. Regardless of his maverick behavior, Will longs to be part of a loving family. Bio: William's sixth birthday marked the death of his parents, who both perished trying to protect their son's life from Riders. Without parents, Will was taken into a care home and adopted by a nice family quickly, though he was taken back just as fast. After his first failed family, Will became notorious for being disrespectful to authority and rejecting all the parents who came to adopt him. William remained unaware of Xul'Quaza for a majority of his youth, the Demon didn't want to reveal it's presence and appear inferior to the human for winding up trapped inside him. It was only when the Riders came back for him on his fourteenth birthday that Xul was forced to reveal himself so that he and Will could survive. After Xul introduced himself to his vessel, Will left the care home he spent a majority of his life in and took to living on the streets, dodging Riders left and right whilst stealing food in order to survive. Non-Demon Fighting Style: Hit and Run-style Close Combat. Appearance: With dark skin, messy black hair and tattered, second-hand clothes, anyone could tell that this boy had not a penny in his name just by glancing at him. Location: Northweast Avenue Demon Name: Xul'Quaza (Sull-Cu-Wa-Zuh) or Xul Demon Personality: Self-glorifying and sickeningly vain, Xul believes that he is the greatest demon to have ever existed, despite his relatively average powers and capabilities. Xul hates just about anything that isn't himself, though he hates William, the human he is bound to, more than anything; at least, that's what the prideful Demon claims. Xul, desipe his personality, is rather insecure and has an inferiority complex, that can actually cripple him when exploited. Demon Bio: Not much is known about Xul's past, for he never speaks about it and changes the subject whenever it is brought up in a conversation. Demon Fighting Style: Physical Combos littered with frequent breaks (Xul expires his power quickly, leaving him open to enemies he hasn't incapacitated or killed). Demon Appearance: Xul, despite the strain it puts on his body, has the power to morph his body into any shape he sees fit, though his appearance boils down to two main forms: his muscular, combat form and his embarrasing true form. In his combat form, Xul looks like a muscular, dark red man with a cloud in place of where his waist and legs would be. His true form resembles a small, somewhat cute kitten with dark red fur and lime green eyes. He would only ever use this form if he would be rewarded for using it.
