Synopsis:
Soul, as I'll call it for convenience, takes place in a time not so far into the future where demons have been able to make contact with a few chosen humans who are on the verge of death. These demons sign their unwilling victims up to a contract in exchange for the ownership of their soul. Once a human is signed up they are granted a new chance at life and given powers, weapons, and abilities that both mirror and are inspired by the demon that signed up the human. The demon themselves are then able to manifest their own spiritual being into a human form so that they can follow and interact with their contractee in their every day lives, however their own powers are severely hindered to a tiny fraction of what they originally were.Since the governments of the world noticed an increase in the number of demonic beings that have been making deals with humans they came to agreement that for the safety of the human race a separate division should be created, known as WDD (World Demonic Defence). The WDD is a task force of speciality hunters who are given the authority to eliminate these demons and their illegally living hosts from the world by any means necessary. In order to complete their job with the limited resources that they have, some WDD agents have resorted to acts of bribery and even hostage holding, forcing the stronger of the demons to target and kill their own kind, or risk being killed themselves.
This dog eat dog environment has created a very unstable world where even being suspected as someone with a binding contract could be quite deadly.
Important Details:
- Soul is a bit of a Dark Fantasy/Modern - Post Modern world. There may be minor Sci-Fi elements
- For this RP it will be required that players will have to make 2 characters with one being the saved human, and the other being the demon contractor.
- Both the demon and the human who have made a contract will share pain that their other receives however no injuries will be shared (eg, breaking a bone will not break any bones in the other individual)
- Many humans will remain unaware of what is going on with the demons and the WDD. Your demon contractor will appear to others as a friend, co-worker, partner, etc.
- Your choice of demon can be fairly varied as long as they aren't too overpowered. I will allow 'daemons' as well which in ancient Greek referred to good spiritual beings rather than bad. This should be reflected in the demon's personality and style of fighting/abilities.
- Soul will begin about a week after your character experiences their near death experience. This should both help speed things up and prevent needless plot building/character learning. We will also be residing in the same city as a way to improve interactions.

Note: I will be looking a posting speed of about once or twice a week with post being more on the longer side of things (a few paragraphs at least, I hate the term but High Casual). I do intend to run this for as long as I can so I would like to have a group of dedicated players. In saying that, if a player doesn't post in a week I will ping them with a mention. After 2 weeks of unnecessary inactivity that player and characters will be removed from the RP (I just don't think it's fair for the other player and myself to wait on people who aren't committed).
If there are any questions and such please ask them. I am still designing the finer details and some things may change a bit but would rather see how interested people are first.
