Lie Down Baby [PG-16/OOC/NS/A]

[Lunar Origins]

I want you

"Hush little child;  don't say a word."

A Tranquil Roleplay

[spoiler=Plot and Information] Years ago, you would have remembered yourself completely - but that was then, and this is now.  You've been dead a while, and it's actually been quite dull.  A lot more dull than you thought it would be, really.  You have a hard time discerning yourself from anything else, now.  You're slowly going crazy.

 

That is, you were - until they showed up.  Things that brought you a sense of purpose.

 

These miraculous little things, they were called angels, and they were quite possibly the most interesting things to have happened to your world.  They slowly started appearing over your windy city;  little pillars of light that brought back your sanity and bestowed odd powers to certain undead.  They were incredible and brought about a sense of power and self.  They allowed you to take on your own unique form, akin to what you had from your past life.  They were, essentially, a second shot at life.

 

Eventually, the dead caught wind of the angels and what they did.  Fights over the angels broke out, and several factions of ghosts were established, each forming in order to protect their own angel.  Eventually, enough angels would be found and harvested;  everyone had at least one angel, and their own form.  Death was actually peaceful for a time, what with the random miscreant causing a little trouble in the human world, but that was rare, and rarely did it affect life in death as you knew it.

 

A number of new angels have appeared, and you have gotten a hold of one, and with it, your own form.

 

Shortly after you've received your own angel, a massive energy burst came from the center of your city. You look outside your drab little haunt; a massive red ghost, wreaking havoc on the city.  Curiously attracted to this beast of a creature, you make your way towards it, only to find others just like you heading in its direction...

[spoiler=Rules and other tidbits]

Quoted from Aix in Blueblood's OOC post (Slightly edited)

If you intend to be in this RP, I would greatly appreciate it if you commented below what sort of character you wish to play, etc., so it is easier to adjust my plans to suit having your character in this RP.

 

This is a PG-16 RP, thus mild swearing, sexual content and crude jokes are acceptable in moderation, slight blood and gore can be expected. While this is animesque, I would not like chibis, exaggerations or any other silly things done in animation because they do not, in my opinion, translate well into a writing medium. All YCM rules apply, Advanced Clause is in full effect - no godmodding, powerplaying or metagaming, no copy-pasting characters from other RPs without fully adjusting them to suit this RP and all posts must be at least 4 lines long, though I will generally expect more. You are expected to put full effort into this RP, don’t be half-assed or I will have a word with you.

 

Acceptance is unlimited, you may control up to 2 characters, possibly more if you ask, however, quality control is in full effect, I reserve the right to reject any app that comes my way that doesn’t seem much effort was put into it or if I find it unsuitable or unsatisfactory. After the RP starts, acceptance will only be allowed when and if it makes sense for a new character to be introduced.

 

RP Rewards are in effect, upon completion of this RP, I will distribute points equal to the number of posts in this RP times one thousand among the participants of this RP, and your share depends on how much you contributed to this RP.

 

While I hope that you are active, I understand that things in life may come up, but please give me a notification beforehand if you are dropping out or on temporary leave. Should you drop out without good reason, you shall receive no share of the prizes.

 

I demand that you read the Database. The Database is currently incomplete.

[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Database]

Sorry about the database right now, it's a bit incomplete. Plot points will be added here at various points during the roleplay, so everything isn't available from the get go.

 

Notable Figures

The Red Beast - A massive red ghost wreaking havoc in the center of the city.  Curiously, it draws lost souls such as yourself to it, and they simply watch in awe as it destroys everything in sight.  It seem to be incredibly violent, but slow.

 

The Hunters - A group of ghosts who actively seek out angels and bring them to their master, Volen.  Volen is known as the current most powerful ghost, due to the number of angels he has acquired, and he exercises his complete rule over the Hunters.  However, he cares little for things outside of obtaining more angels and tends to mind his business.  The motives of the Hunters are unknown.

 

Tricksters - A small ragtag group of deceased children who love playing pranks on the unsuspecting living.  The Tricksters have an odd knack for finding angels in the most unsuspecting of places.

 

The Red - A very violent group of ghosts whose main focus is wreaking havoc upon the living and gathering angels along the way.  They usually clash with the Hunters over angels, which has led to a sort of rivalry between the two groups.  The group's leader, Severa, is immensely powerful for a ghost of her stature and emanates a red aura - which is what she named her group after.  However, Severa has been rarely seen these days, with her place usually taken by the second in command, Wesley.

 

Angels

Angels are small little tangible orbs of light that slowly dole out energy, increasing your own tangibility to the real world and giving you the stereotypical ghost powers. Some give different powers, others are more all-encompassing, but the effects on powers are often minimal and will not usually give you a great deal of control. Nevertheless, over time the effect of angels increases exponentially and makes you feel alive again, so all ghosts are drawn towards them.

 

Spirits

You are, in essence, one of these.  What kind of spirit, however, depends on the amount of angel that you possess;  your form ranges from Will-O-The-Wisp to full-fledged ghost human.

 

0 angel

At least 1 angel

2 or more and you begin to look more and more human, losing wisp-like features.

[spoiler=Raine-Satiah Eurydice]

Personal Information

Name: Satiah Eurydice

Age of Death: 24

Time of Death: 642 A.D.

Gender: Female

Angel Name: Ishtar (0)

[spoiler=Appearance]

[spoiler=Appearance]

[/spoiler]

 

Height: 5’4’’

Weight: 44 kg

 

Satiah is rather frail looking individual in contrast to her snide personality. She tends to favor formal wear of various eras in her dress not really caring where or when they originated, only taking notice of the form and beauty. Normally however, Satiah would be found in her traditional Egyptian royal dress, a light white cotton robe with satin draping and gold embellishments or in colder weather or formal setting, a Japanese yukata as shown.  Satiah has cold eyes that seldom show her intent, she tries to imitate the grace of her former station through her actions and gestures.

[/spoiler]

 

[spoiler=Personality]

 

Satiah is a very cynical person and distrusting. Having been raised and lived in a hostile environment, Satiah has learned to talk around herself and consider ever person as someone who will betray her. While this produces a very jaded personality, she is not completely cold; she has a taste for interesting people who she sees worthy of her court. She is extremely intelligent and can easily pick up concepts from later times, she enjoys people who can challenge her intellect by finds distaste in people who take vain pride in it.

 

She tends to see others not as below her, but as occupying another world. She has very little quarrels about using human life to her advantage because to her, they are numbers and letters unless they become close enough to her to appear human in her eyes. She is constantly in search of the world’s great mysteries and treasures to collect either in her palace or her mind. Her valuing of knowledge, experience, and creativeness leads her to believe that people who do not seek these things are dead and soulless, reinforcing her world view. People she finds favorable or similar are granted special privilege by her and she makes efforts to become intimate. In a world as closed off and diverse as hers, she can get extremely intimate with those who likes.

[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Short History before Death]

Satiah was born a princess in the dying Kingdom of Egypt. From her youth she was shown the doors to the greatness of the world, gifted with knowledge the general population could ever dream of and the ability to quest to the world’s far corners in search of the hidden secrets of the world. Because, she was the youngest of her siblings she had few royal responsibilities and spent her days indulging herself in solitude whether in book or wilderness. As she aged into a teenager, she began to look inward and took interest in her household and the people around her. She soon realized that her wealth and prosperity were limited because of the time, her kingdom was aging and weak held together only by the support of the Byzantines and the newly formed Muslim empire of the Rashidun Caliphate. She bore them no hatred, she knew how the world turned and that was blessed even with the little time she had remaining.

 

 

She spent her remaining days mastering the skills of politicking and expanding her knowledge. Her remaining nights she spent with the company of adventurers and those who struck her fancy. As the horde of the east moved closer, her royal status meant less and less in her palace as her mother and father frantically tried to delay the inevitable. It was of no matter to her, she had no strong feelings towards them. However, when the end came, she could not bring herself to leave. She was disappointed in herself as the Muslim army crashed the gates on her 24^th birthday. She knew that it was over, she bore no hatred; she had long foreseen this end. As the invading party came to her room and her city was in flames, they bashed against the door. She would be raped, sold, then killed. Too bad it came to this, she spoke to herself. Satiah jumped 80 feet from her palace room and struck the stone below.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Kimon]
Optional Picture
Personal Information
Name: Kimon
Age of Death: 22
Time of Death: 754 AD
Gender: Male
Angel Name: Euthymius (1)
[spoiler=Appearance][spoiler=Image]

Retaining a very wisp-like figure, Kimon stands at 5 ft 10 in and weighs in at 156.1 lb. His skin, hair, eyes, all ghost white and pale. This upon his slender build and very peculiar outfit all goes to convey this rather mysterious and ethereal guise surrounding the man, the stark contrast in black and white almost giving off a skeletal vibe. His strange outfit, strange certainly underplaying it, consists of what appears to be a bodysuit with a strange black and white pattern, cut off at the wrists, ankles and neck, thus exposing his hands and feet to the mercy of the environment. He is also adorned in a pair of wispy rings around each ankle and neck, though even he doesn't know why they're there.[/spoiler][/spoiler][spoiler=Personality]Kimon is lazy. Truly, he'd much rather spending the day napping and relaxing instead of being productive. He's one of those fellas that, if given the option of an exciting and thrilling life full of adventure, or a casual life of humble and simple pleasures, Kimon'd vote the latter ten times over. In saying this though, he is also a relatively peculiar hedonist - most things he seeks to do are for his own gratification and euphoria. This is the stem to his seeking of wisps in truth, enjoying the high of becoming more whole. Not for some greater meaning, just the rush. However, he does retain a sharp mind - Kimon is, while preferring not to be, rather pensive and contemplative, and has a damn good knack at reading people's faces. Possibly a haggler's blood coursing through his veins. He's also a pyrophobe.[/spoiler][spoiler=Short history before death]For the 22 years that passed in Kimon's life, never had he lifted as much as a finger. An hyperbole, of course, however in stark contrast to the great Greek minds, Kimon was pretty damn lazy. He spent much of his spare time simply laying and relaxing, enjoying the simple pleasures of life. Much of his time would be spent, rather, socializing and mixing with the people, and relishing in these environments. Indeed, not a man of class or refinement. His father wasn't necessarily proud of him, mind you, but above all else Kimon's kin valued true happiness, and that is what Kimon pursued every single day - happiness.

It would be on one evening when all earthly joys were burnt from his grasp, as Kimon perished in a flaming building. He cannot remember much of such details, perhaps driven from his mind, not wishing to recall the trauma of the fire. There is a significant mystery behind his death, however.[/spoiler][/spoiler]

Are you sure, you're British, Kyng? I am seeing feet and pounds, here. I am definitely liking the character so far, I'm curious where he's from to have this personality but have died in the 8th century. ...but, suspicious use of units...

I just copied results from Wikipedia to be honest. Did not put any thought into it.

Sorry if it bursts your adorable bubble Raine. I'd never want to burst your bubble. :c

His personality somewhat parodies the Ancient Greeks, in that said civilization is well known for its discoveries and works of ancestry. This guy ain't one of those great minds.

[Lunar Origins]

Updated my character sheet with five new characters.  New thing, too - in your application, place a (1) next to your angel's name - that denotes the level of your angel.

 

Scratch that, you don't have to do that.

[StealthyTyranitar]

Sorry for not being here recently. I've been super busy, trying to host my own RP and school work. I hope to get my app in soon to you.

[Lunar Origins]

Oh, no, that's totally fine.  Take your time!  Anyways, working on adding all of the different NPCs to the op - some of these won't appear until much later, but I want you to be aware of their existence.

Sorry, withdrawing that reserve.  Couldn't work up enough motivation for a character for this one.

[Raine]

Can we start seeing some apps for this, I really like this RP> 

[Lunar Origins]

Yes, please.

[StealthyTyranitar]

Sorry, working on it. You should see it by Friday. Idk, since this is a supah busy week for me

[Kari-chan]

I have a slight question/Critique. Can Angels... Be tangible? Like can they have bodies or would it be possible for their appearance at the very least be known to the owner? Can they speak or at least communicate with their owners? I'm very interested and the idea is soo original, but even the owner not being able to communicate with/see them would be sort of lame. and may be a deal breaker for me joining. Herm.. How often does that happen someone wants to join but doesn't just say it outright, and offers a bit of help? lolz

[Lunar Origins]

Angels are energy.  Nothing more.

 

That's final.  I will not accept an application differentiating from that norm.  Sorry.

[Kari-chan]

Aww... Well thanks anyways I wont be putting an app in... It just seemed if they had more to them it would create a stronger bond. If you change your mind even a lil bit pm me Id gladly join ^-^

[Lunar Origins]

Angels have a lot to them.

 

You just won't know that for a very long time.
