[OOC] "Welcome to H̶e̶l̶l̶!̶ the Underworld!" A Comedy Fantasy rp!

[Cherrywitch]

@AtomicNut I feel like that is alright, but just so you know even though it takes elements from religious myths it is a fairy tale-esque feeling rp and doesn't really involve religion at all.

@Cherrywitch

Well I mean, imagine that crusty old dude who waves the cane, and keeps telling "YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG."

And everyone else is like "Why are you still here?"

"Cheap drinks and warm places to spend my retirement fee."

Also he should've inherited his ferryman power which allows to sail anywhere. From the lava rivers to Michael's bathtub with mr Ducky. And that's why they told him to never bother going to Heaven anymore.

[Cherrywitch]

@AtomicNut Pfft, yeah, okay if it makes me choke on my coffee than it's a good idea. XD

[AtomicNut]

On a side note, demons can't have kids and such, right?

[Cherrywitch]

@AtomicNut Well, it's a little convoluted. This is going of the idea that they aren't technically physical beings but just souls. "Demons" are only souls who decided to stay in the underworld. Therefore, having children isn't possible, nor is it possible for any soul unless they decide to return to an earthly body. Does that make sense?

@Cherrywitch

Well yeah, I was just exploring prospective sources of comedy for Charon.

[AtomicNut]

Name: Charon.
Nickname(s): Annoying Old geezer, The Ferryman (in olden times)
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Ladies' man.
Age of Death: He doesn't even remember.
Occupation: Retired old man. Occassional courier. Former Ferryman of the Underworld.
Species: ???? Probably a really old demon.
Appearance Description: Charon is an old, fierce looking man with a piercing stare that usually dresses in tatters. While he looks more or less human, his true appearance is very gaunt. He has spent so much time in the underworld, that even his would-be demonic features have turned into something else altogether.
Personality: Charon is rather cynical and rather bitter, and his bouts of fierce temper have permeated the legends of the underworld for centuries. Even so, he was a most disciplined servant of his duties, and even when Hell changed shape and new Sins were appointed, he kept doing his job day by day without complaining. Relieved of his duties, however, Charon is intent to spend a good chunk of eternity compensating and indulging for so many hours ferrying souls, not giving a damn about other things than himself. Then for his perceived flaws, Charon is still a honorable man of the old school, and he will never disobey a plea. He also seems to have a thing for heroic deeds and impossible tasks, as he was known to bend the rules a little every time and then.
History:An ancient psychopomp, there are many who don't even think that Charon was ever mortal, but a couple of drunken passages alluding to "jerks with iron weapons cutting our bronze swords" seem to be genuine recopilations of an hypothetic human past. He always has carried the duty of escorting new souls to the current lords of the Underworld, at least until recently. Even an incombustible old man like himself yearned for retirement, specially what with their new generations and their ways. So he did. Although he could've reincarnated, waaay too many time spent in the underworld made him still fond of the place, and the demons do have cheap drinks and entertainaments, so why not burn his retirement pension there?.
Powers: Ferryman: Charon's quintessential power, is the ability to travel from any body of fluid (either lava or water) to another with no limitation to distance, placement or even the fact that it could be anywhere on Earth, Heaven or Hell, by using a mystical indestructible boat. Of course, nothing is without restraints, however. Charon can only ferry dead souls to Earth for a very brief period of time, and Heaven does not welcome him any longer after he managed to crash his boat through an Archangel's bathtub, exposing her holy nakedness in the process.
Strength of the Damned: He has to be that strong to be wading a boat full of souls along lava and whatnot. It's best not to challenge him to an arm wrestling contest, even taking in account his skeleton form.
Not So Sacred Weapon: His trusted boatpole. He has fought many times with it, and it is a essential part of the ritual to summon his boat and go anywhere.
Other: Retired old men are funny.

@Cat

Well, if you look at some of his usual artistic depictions...

Hider

Hider

Half of the time he's clubbing some fool.

[Cherrywitch]

@AtomicNut Accepted, just please delete 'sacred' from the 'sacred weapon' slot, as that is only for Sins or Archs. ^_^ Weapons of the regular type are acceptable for any character.

Did a stealth edit to Not So Sacred.

[LemonadeVik]

From Judeo-Christian texts the fall of Lucifer was done by an army lead by Angel Micheal, does any of that relate into this story's lore? Also are we aloud to have two characters?

@LemonadeVik

That's kind of the joke, that Michael keeps trying to destroy the underworld but they can't so they just lied that they did to the humans. XD

And yup, as many characters as you can handle. My only limit is one sin per person. And try to use different species if you have multiple.

[Spanner]

@Cherrywitch Passing by Just to demonstrate my interest in claiming Greed's position~
Just need to finish polishing a personality that ended up a little bit too long.

[LemonadeVik]

Here is my second character!

Thurman

Name: Thurman Douglas
Nickname(s): Thur
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Age of Death: 31
Occupation: Secretary of Lucifer Pride
Species: Demon
Appearance Description:

My Hider

5’4 and minus the snow leopard. Demons horns and tail .

Personality: (write at least a paragraph, please.) If you were to describe him in one word it would be Nervous. Like a puppy still getting used to its new home, when though he has lived in the Underworld for a while now. Dispute this he is quite cheerful and kind to those who are to him, but is sometimes a doormat. He pushes most of his complex emotions down inside, leading to unintentional outbursts towards those around him. Sensitive to what people say to him or what situation he is in, but always there for people who need a hug and a hot cocoa.
History: A victim of the Black Plague.
Powers: Low-key telekinesis.
Sacred Weapon: He doesn’t have one, but sometimes dreams of having a spear.
Other: Might have a huge-key crush on Luci.

[Cherrywitch]

@LemonadeVik Accepted. ^_^ Pop it in character tab.
@AtomicNut yours too, btw. :P

[LemonadeVik]

Sweet ok!

[Spanner]

Ok, here's the fairly rushed sheet for my Sin character. Tell me your thoughts, @Cherrywitch.

Mammon Greed

Name: Mammon Greed
Nickname/Alias: Hell's Strongest Accountant; Greed
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Age of Death: ??
Occupation: Head of the Monetary Division
Species: Sin
Appearance Description: TBA

Demon Form

Personality:
For those who see him while he is working, Mammon is clearly an stern, overly serious individual without any especially expressive mannerisms and a tendency of lacking any expression in his face. He often acts in a calm, detached way and appears to be ridiculously cold and merciless, favouring efficience over useless blabbering and often acting in a machine-like way when making decisions, appearing to regard the efficient management of the underworld's finances as his sole objective.

Surprisingly, the same individual completely change when he's out of his profeprofessional mode, as he appears to be, in fact, an extremely fun loving individual motivated by nothing other than his own sense of amusement and an amazing ability of attracting trouble to himself, being often seen as unpredictable and even crazy. Amongst th sins, Mammon is known to be the most free-spirited of the bunch, not only caring just for a few selected things but also being capable of showing an extremely easygoing behaviour, able to easily interact with pretty much anyone as long as he feels that it would be interesting to do so and hardly showing anything that slightly resembles discomfort or awkwardness. He also appears to hardly hold the other party position as important, talking in the same informal way with anyone and hardly showing any special respect for someone - fact that is often show during his conversations with the other sins. His main "greedy" aspect is, in fact, his tendency of developing obsessions with certain objects, people or even concepts, desperately trying to keep anything(one) that he holds dear safe from anything(one) that could possibly take or corrupt it(they) - AKA everyone other than himself.

Above all, in despite of what is suggested by the behaviours he often assumes, Mammon is surprisingly sharp individual and possess an intelligence away higher than the norm, having quite the calculative side under all the irreverent behaviour and having a tendency of calculating every act that he takes, taking every single factor in regard before making any decision. Much like what he demonstrates in his work mode, Mammon's utmost priority is maintaining the functionality of the underworld's economy and the safety of his prized treasures, making him extremely dangerous for those who either bring too much of a imbalance to his loved division or try to take anything away from him.

Powers:
Major: As a sin, Mammon has a single unique power that acts as his signature move.

• Drain: Mammon's main unique power, this unique form of magic makes him able to gradually drain his target's abilities through physical contact, taking part of it for himself. This ability seems to qualify anything capable of being used to improve efficience as an ability, being able to drain not only things such as powers or physical prowess, but also knowledge or fundamental abilities, being able of things such as taking away someone's sight or hearing without damaging their sensorial organs.

Minor: Due to the nature of his ability, Mammon has hundredths of minor abilities taken from previous victims - most being weakened to the point of being practically unusable - as well as a sole innate minor ability.

• Darkness Manipulation: Mammon's innate minor ability, this ability is - as the name clearly states - the ability of manipulating darkness and shadows, freely changing their physical state and characteristics to achieve multiple purposes. Mammon's darkness, in specific, seems to be somehow connected to his body, being able to act as a vector for projecting his senses to do things such as interacting or spying on people from a far away place.

Sacred Weapon:
Devourer: Rather than an item, Mammon's sacred weapon is - in fact - his whole left arm, being composed by the ink that completely covers the sin's limb. This "weapon" solely increases his unique ability speed of draining.

[AtomicNut]

I am wondering things. So if the war was a lie, "Fallen Angels" must mean Angels that refused to be pricks and still talk to demons?

[Cherrywitch]

@Spanner Accepted, I love the detail.

@AtomicNut Basically. They are Angels with the 'angelic powers' but who have left heaven. Their reasons are all their own.
