Desire [SU/D]

I'd rather not make NPCs that know your characters too well. They might know OF them. They might have seen them around. But close bonds and strong hatred I would rather develop from the start.
 
I had an idea. I was wondering if perhaps one of the extremist-NPC's (The ones that like to force beliefs on others and kill people) had Orochi or Yami as their demon companion. It'd make for an awesome late game boss battle ^.^
 
I do have plans for their extremist natures to be reflected in the demons they get at the beginning and over the course of the RP. You don't have to worry. There'll be apropos demons for each character.
 
Double post, derpderp.

Since some of you were curious about this, the RP won't be starting till after Survivor. Since I got a few questions about how we'll open too, we'll be opening on a normal, sunny summer day.Nobody will be in school (unless you're doing summer school herpderp) and you can either be working or taking the day off.

So you will basically be able to prepare your posts in advance, since I'm not planning anything particularly dramatic or plot related until a few pages in. You can all feel free to make your posts in advance, have some basic interaction either with NPCs or each other, and then I'll introduce the actual apocalypse itself. It'll basically come out of absolutely nowhere for maximum impact, and I will not be warning you in advance when it occurs so that you basically feel dumped right into this dangerous, post apocalyptic world, full of dangerous, intelligent demons out for your blood.

After a little thought, I've also decided to introduce a cell phone system. Basically, you can give NPCs or each other your numbers and I'll record them in the info thread along with the NPCs. Please please pleeeeease bold or underline your request, reception, and distribution of your phone numbers so that I don't miss it. Your cellphones still will be fully functional, and I'm not gonna make them run out of juice unless it's as a plot element, and once that plot element is over, you'll receive something like a handheld charger, or a new phone to put your SIM card into. This system is so that NPCs and allies can call you in times of need to advance the plot or to just try to further and develop your relationship one way or the other.

Also a question, since there are quite a lot of people joining. Would you rather make groups of your own, or would you rather I assign you starting groups that you can break off from later?
 
I suggest we form our groups based first off of starting location, and then as people run into each other, we might break into different groups due to clashing personal beliefs.
 
Sorry to double-post, but now that Survivor has been postponed, will the rp be starting up soon?
 
No worries. Well now that Survivor has been postponed, chances are we'll be getting this up and running by the weekend. Possibly sooner if I get a decent amount of sleep tonight and wake up all creative in the morning. You see, I was hoping to create the last few NPCs, as well as an opening post, between challenges in Survivor, so now I'm a little out of whack. As well as that, there are some people who have expressed interest but have a busy real and online life, so it'll take time for them to get bios up.

With any luck, we'll be started by Sunday. If not, eh. I don't want to rush anyone to finish a bio because a forced bio is really worse than none at all, and puts a sour taste int he RPer's mouth from the off. That's my stance, anyway.
 
There certainly is. I need as many people as possible for this to work out effectively, so you're more than welcome.
 
Name: Cassidy Evans
 Age: 22
 Gender: Female
 Starting Location: Shopping District
 Appearance: [link]
Long brown hair hangs to several inches below her shoulders, with a slight curl in it. Most of the time, she pulls her hair up into a clip or something to keep it out of her way, especially while working, but will occasionally leave it down for the entire day. Abnormally dark lips are her most striking features, and they contrast greatly with her soft brown eyes. Her skin is fairly pale, as though she tans easily, she prefers not to expose herself to the damaging effects of tanning beds or long periods in the sun.

Cassidy favors silky shirts in rich colors, often rather low cut, paired with neat black pants that fit her nearly perfectly. If she's going to a more casual event, she trades the black pants in for dark jeans, and pairs both with either high heels to match the color of her shirt or flip flops, also matching. She wears almost no jewelry, with only a ring on her right middle finger on a day to day basis.

Personality: Put simply, Cassidy is a bitch. She feels that anything she wants should be hers, at any cost to others. Certainly not the type to stop and help a little old lady cross the street, she's learned over the years that if you act like you don't give a shit... eventually, people start believing that you really don't care. Maybe there's a nice girl buried under the layers of rudeness and bluntness that Cassidy has built up... or maybe not.

Despite being a completely rude person on her own time, while she's working, Cassidy is the nicest person you'll ever meet. She knows how to work the customers and often flirts just a little bit to get them to put that extra dollar down on the bar, and she's extremely good at what she does.
Contracted Demon: Lilim
 History: Growing up in the poorer parts of Chicago, Cassidy learned quickly to take care of herself. Her father wasn't around after leaving her mother with two children when Cassidy was about seven, and she never forgot - or forgave him for - what happened afterwards. Their family went from a quiet, conventional family living in a nice apartment building to living in a cramped one bedroom apartment in a dangerous neighborhood. Her mother worked two jobs to keep her children in school, and Cassidy became a sort of second mother to her younger brother. It was her responsibility to look after him while her mother was working, and when her mother took on another job to try and save to send Cassidy and her brother to college, things in their household got even tighter and more stressful.

Cassidy ended up skipping college and going straight on to working, telling her mother to save the money to send her brother onto more schooling. Her first job was a minimum wage job in a fast food restaurant that she hated, but money was money and she didn't want to live with her mother forever. After six or seven months at the job she hated, she landed a spot answering phones for a fairly large company in the business section of Chicago... until the company crashed and burned and Cassidy was out of a job.

After bouncing through a series of jobs from a temp agency, one of Cassidy's former neighbors offered her a job at the bar he was managing, and she's worked there ever since. Working at a bar often means sleeping during the day to be awake for her shifts, but she doesn't mind, since the money is good and the tips are even better. She also enjoys the work, most of the time, and at least as a bartender, her nights are filled with... excitement, usually, to say the least.
Demon
Name: Lilim
 Age: Unknown; estimated 1200 years
 Gender: Female
 Appearance: [link]
Lilim could almost pass for a human.. if it wasn't for the tail and the wings. Her eyes would also give her true form away, as they look nothing like the eyes of a human and instead resemble snake eyee, though in a very pale blue color. Her skin is a light tan, and on her right thigh is a marking that she very rarely covers. Some say it's something to do with her mother, Lilith. She has dark, almost purple in color, hair that is swept straight back but unbound, and it reaches to just above her shoulders. As for attire, she goes by the less is more idea of thinking... only without the more part. Extremely short cream colored shorts, almost to the point of no longer being shorts, cover her bottom half, with a thick cream covered belt around the top. The belt has a large silver buckle. Her top consists of a shirt... sort of. The front is mostly open, with a zipper about an inch below the base of her neck up to the top of her neck where it joins her head. The top barely covers her breasts and looks like it wouldn't stay in place at all, yet it does somehow. The bottom edges stop several inches above her waist, and the sleeves reach to just above her elbows. Gloves over her fingertips and up to her knuckles complete her clothing.

 Personality: Everything Lilim does is graceful, whether she's shooting electricity at an enemy or simply talking to her contracted partner. She does not do sloppy or clumsy movement, as it's just not in her nature. Her way of speaking, when she chooses to speak out loud rather than telepathically, is prim and proper, often reminding those who hear her of language use from long ago. Emotions are not on the top of Lilim's priority list, and she would rather stay quiet and do as her contracted partner wishes than become emotional or rebel against anyone she's loyal to. When she does show emotion, however, it's very strong and often surprises those around her.

Name: Thomas Erak

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Starting Location: Residential District

Appearance: With his signature wild dark brown hair that reaches his shoulders, Thomas is essentially the archetypal example of a musician. Standing at 5’8” and being 166 pounds, he is also very toned, with an overall limber and athletic build. He has a strong, defined jawline that compliments his straight edged nose and unkempt but neatly apart eyebrows. His eyes are a brilliant green hue and they complement his casual personality. He also has a slight beard coming in that makes him appear a bit older than he actually is.

His attire consists of whatever he deems comfortable, which usually boils down to a tight t-shirt that shows off his body, slim fit (not skinny) denim jeans buckled at the waist and white sneakers that practically go with everything.

As far as accessories go; Thomas often has his headphones hanging around his neck, a guitar bag that he can carry on his back, and a small emerald pendant that rests comfortably at the base of his t-shirt collar.

Supplemental Picture (For more visual people, the picture shown will give you a general idea of what he looks like, notable is that my character is quite a bit bulkier than the picture but you get the idea.): Thomas Erak

Personality: Relaxed, easy-going, and intelligent; Thomas’ laid back personality is one of his defining traits, making him very easy to get along and to work with. Thomas is also a very forgiving individual and isn’t a fan of keeping grudges as it takes away from more important things he could be doing at the time. He is also very competitive, always striving to better himself in one way or another.

However, his competitiveness sometimes causes him to become very stubborn and results in him neglecting endeavors that he deems unimportant while preparing himself. He is also a realist, and can come off as a bit of an ass when he believes a dose of reality must be administered. A primary pet peeve is when anyone mishandles his guitars or musical equipment without permission.

Contracted Demon: Izanagi

History: Born to a highly supportive father and mother who eventually committed adultery, Thomas was born into a relatively stable household after she was gone. Without a mother figure in his life, Thomas took a liking to many of his father’s past times, such as boxing and exercising. But it was when his dad took him to a concert when he was 5 when he realized that what he really wanted to do was play music. His father bought him a guitar for his birthday but one particular problem arose that, with his father’s support, would lay down the groundwork for how he has grown so far. Thomas was left-handed.

Since guitars were built for right-handed individuals and guitars for left-handed people were often cheap and made with low quality wood and equipment, Thomas decided to stick with it and learn it the way everyone else would. Things were anything but easy though. He displayed an innate understanding of music theory and was a fast learner but he had an incredibly difficult time adapting to his right hand. This led to many fruitless nights of practice and even more bouts of frustration.

But eventually, Thomas overcame his deficiency and became one of the most talented upcoming musicians in town, often playing gigs at local shows to help pay his now ill father’s steadily increasing medical bills.


Demon
Name: Izanagi no Gendaiban (Modern Izanagi)
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male

Appearance: More of a man than celestial being at this point, Izanagi sports an attire similar to a Japanese bancho, with an unbuttoned black blazer, an unrealistically long white headband tied onto his forehead, black slacks, and dress shoes to match. He is fairly tall at 6’2” and is gifted wit an incredibly bulky physique. This combined with his steely demeanor and cold brown eyes make him fairly intimidating to look at.

Supplemental Picture: Izanagi (This would fit Izanagi quite nicely except that he has more of a human appearance rather than being a humanoid creature.)

Personality: As his stature would suggest, Izanagi is a very proud individual. With a burning sense of justice, Izanagi fights for the protection of his master fiercely and without question. When not in combat, Izanagi is silent but always ready to impart his knowledge on matters to anyone who requests his aid.

He does not take kindly to those who exude arrogance or seem to lack adherence to a moral code. This causes Izanagi to have a “black or white” outlook on certain issues that can make him difficult to handle. Though he does not have his full celestial ability, he is a more than capable fighter and is always ready for a challenge to test his might. His protective nature also manifests itself in a few support abilities he can use to aid his allies.

Approved, Ichigo. Welcome to the RP.

Jess, looking forward to seeing the rest sometime soon. :ryan:
 
Which guy is Isis talking to? No name is listed so it could be any one them. I think to help prevent confusion, it helps to have people post their character name and location so everyone knows who's speaking and where they are.
 
She's speaking to Nikolas. I thought the whole black snake around neck thing would emphasize that. XD I'm just not using names for now because the NPCs don't know your characters just yet.
 
Approved. You can make your first post whenever you like. Welcome to the RP. :ryan:
