[OOC] Does the Devil Value your Soul?

[NuttsnBolts]

---

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 unique as long as they aren't too overpowered and humanoid in design. I may 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 but it is more of an aesthetic choice.
• 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.
• The city that we will be residing in will be known as the City of Eastwood. City of Eastwood is a large, bustling city with a busy CBD a shipping port.

Member Generated Ideas:

• Any humans who have signed a contract with a demon will have the ability to both see through a demon's disguise and witness their true form, as well as identify any human that has forfeited their soul to a demon. When identified the human will appear as a crisp focal point with the surrounding objects and entities appearing out of focus. (Example Image)

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).

Rules and Etiquette

1: No Godmodding, Metagaming, Powerplaying, Mary-Sues or Lore Breaking will be tolerated... Period.
2: No Auto-Hits. Your attacks should be left to the other player's discretion for if they hit or not. On the flip side, your character cannot avoid every attack under the sun. So play fair!
3: No disrespecting the decisions of the GM @NuttsnBolts
4: Don't ever think I am an ass. I'm just picky on what I like and don't like.
5: Have fun and stay committed.

I, as GM, may perform some acts that break the first two rules. This will be in order to achieve a particular outcome for story development. It shouldn't be anything too drastic, but please be aware of this.

Best of Luck!

[chukklehed]

character

Name: Mira Black
Appearance:

image

Age: 20
Gender: Female

Abilities:
Base - Mira's contract with her demon passively increases her physical abilities, making her strong and agile, though not inhumanly so. Her five senses have acquired a greater improvement, making it hard to take her by surprise.

Personal Reality - besides her enhanced body, Mira has the ability to create a "personal reality bubble" anywhere touching her skin. This bubble is only three inches in diameter, and is used for most of her powers, but maintaining it consumes massive amounts of energy and usually requires her full concentration.

Shaping - Mira's greater power is the ability to "create" objects.

Mira can create objects in two ways. First, she can start from nothing, only using her will as a base for the object. Objects created this way are fragile and only last a few minutes after their creation, but they can be made with little effort on the fly. Secondly, she can mold nearly any material she touches into another shape. Objects made this way are permanent, and typically hold up better than objects made the other way, but it requires more concentration and materials on hand.

Utility - while most useful in making objects, Mira's personal reality can serve other purposes. Some techniques she commonly practices are creating light, hardening the air to deflect blows or creating a platform to stand on.

Bio: Mira has a good heart, but has always been a bit sadistic. When people anger her, she takes a perverse pleasure in her revenge. Other than that, she is a typical college student, going to class, hanging out, studying. That is, she was typical, until the day of her contract.

On one of her days off, Mira spent the day off campus, just wandering the city. It was simply bad luck that she ran into a stereotypical back alley situation, a young girl being ganged up on by a group of armed men. Logically, she knew she should have turned the other way, but her pride wouldn't allow her to simply pretend she hadn't seen anything. She stepped in to help the girl, and predictably wound up with a knife in her gut. Just when she had resigned herself to the end, she discovered it was only the beginning.

Demon

Name: Zythal
Gender/Age: Male/ 10 years
Demon Type: Curiosity Daemon
Appearance:

Abilities:
Zythal lost almost all of his abilities when he contracted with Mira. To compensate, he carries a giant leatherbound grimoir on a strap across his shoulder, and uses it to copy down spells from any tomes or practitioners he encounters. He can cast most any spell he finds, but his energy is not unlimited.
Biography:
Zythal is a newly born daemon. Curiosity Daemons typically latch on to a host or familiar early, which gives them opportunity to learn by observation. Like their name suggest, they are possessed by a ravenous hunger for knowledge of any kind, and believe information is as valuable as gold or jewels.

Zythal dislikes any kind of exorcise, and typically complains loudly when forced to do any.

Extras:
Contract - I, Mira Black, Vow that, in exchange for my life and power of which I shall have full freedom of use, will aid in Zythal's search for knowledge, and, a maximum of five times over the life of this contract, shall perform any task he desires without deviation or refusal.

Edit: It might be interesting if you add a section detailing exactly what their contract is. I'm going to add mine to Extras.

[Oni_]

Okay, finished up a set of characters. Tell me if anythings OP needs nerf, I was kind of going for a glass cannon type of thing hence the amount power and lack of defense. But yeah, even then I never know how much to pull back. I also didn't want to just use the demon as a second character, and thus and afterthought, hence the pacts entwining the two into two different roles.

Sera Kennithson

"The blood of the soldier, makes the general great."

Name:
Sera Kennithson

Gender/Age:
Female, 26

Appearance:
See Above

Weapons:
The Threaded Cane:

A weapon favored by Alyx during her time in the underworld. Upon first glance it appears to be a simple cane with a metal shaft and steel spike at the end. Upon closer inspection however it becomes apparent that the shaft is made up of multiple serrated segments which, upon the user wishing to do so may be released to change the weapon into a whip. The cane is useful for fast strikes and stabs, whereas the whip attributes itself to causing heavy damage to the enemies flesh with it's multiple serrated edges and long range.

Abilities:
Bloodlust:

This is the main ability that was gifted to Sera upon the creation of her contract. It allows her to grow in strength and speed as she draws blood from her enemies or they draw blood from her, with the latter causing a greater power increase to account for the greater danger it possesses. A demon as great as Alyx would be able to use this ability indefinitely and would be able to increase their power by up to hundreds if not thousands times greater than their base power. Sera, as a mere human, is greatly limited in two ways. Firstly her power is probably only doubled at the most before a cap kicks in to prevent the body from destroying itself. The ability therefore also takes longer to reach said cap.

Blood Starved:

This is the second limitation of the Bloodlust ability, as she spills more blood it begins to damage her body, corrupting it. Until a point where she reaches the "Blood Limit" which prevents her body from tearing itself apart. If she continues to engage in combat however eventually this cap will "Shatter" as her subconscious takes over to preserve her life. With this her power increases vastly further than the cap but her attacks become wilder and more beast-like as she indiscriminately attacks friends and foes alike. The biggest drawback of this however is that her body begins to tear apart as she begins to bleed at an increased rate from her wounds.

Blood Transfusion:

In order to deal with any injuries Sera's blood has taken up regenerative properties, speeding up the healing of both her own cuts and those of others so long as she smears her blood over them. It's a lucky thing that her blood type is O-. Her blood in larger doses (two pints) can also cure poisons. To cope even further with the loss of blood she faces Sera's body is capable of replenishing it at a rate where she could go from empty to full within three to four months, far faster than your average human being who takes a month to replace a single pint.

The White Blood Pact:

This is perhaps, the most prosperous of Sera's abilities. The White Blood Pact allows her to tap into Alyx's blood lust, using it to increase both of their bloods regeneration rate even more than usual. This is a risky procedure as while it can regenerate all of their blood within 24 hours it puts her into a near critical state and removes all of Alyx's powers leaving her defenseless. After her blood is fully recovered, or the technique is interrupted however Sera will completely recover within the hour or less depending on how long she had been using the technique.

Biography:

An average day, an average walk, a not so average traffic situation. Sera had only gone out for some milk. But nothing could predict that on her walk home someone would run a red light. They were hit towards the rear bumper, on the side. Sending them spiraling out of control, into a lamp-post, into Sera and then through a shop window. As the glass shattered into thousands of pieces, mannequins were decapitated and Sera's body hit the wall time slowed. An audible snap sounded and time stopped. As Sera hung onto her consciousness she looked down, her leg had a small metal bar sticking through it and three large glass shards were lodged in her torso, a fourth had pinned the arm of a mannequin to the wall next to her.

Her vision began to haze, even with time being stopped blood gushed our of her torso and made its way up her throat. If time began to move she was done for. She even tried to make on last ditch attempt to move. But the glass held her up. As she began to close her eyes from exhaustion a figure moved towards her, black hair, cut above the shoulders, green eyes and skin which seemed paler than humanly possible. As if no blood ran through her veins. Her lips began to move, words came out which Sera pieced together as, "How about you make a deal with the devil? Shh, don't answer, it's not as if you have a choice in the matter. Now. Lets keep you alive shall we?" after that, no one knows what happened. The glass had gone as had the bar. Sera was alive. And she was in for a treat.

Extra:

The standard blood regeneration may not sound a lot, but considering the average body needs four to six weeks to produce a single pint, the ability to produce a full bodies worth (8-12 pints) makes this double the usual speed.

Alyx the Banished

"How would you like to make a deal with the devil?"

Name:
Alyx The Banished

Gender/Age:
Female, 690

Demon Type:
Demon

Appearance:
See Above.

Abilities:

Bloodlust

Much like Sera, Alyx has her own bloodlust which allows her to double her strength and speed. Unlike Sera she does not face the danger of becoming Blood Starved, due to her body being used to the constant punishment it supplies. Instead of punishing her in that way, meeting her cap allows Alyx to use her other abilities, which are usually suppressed.

Bloody Rain

Alyx's signature technique allows her to turn her flowing blood into some form of faux living creature. Sort of like tendrils sprouting from her injuries. This allows her to attack incredibly quickly from multiple directions. The tendrils don't do a whole lot of damage but they are able to confuse the opponent to allow Alyx to connect her own hits far more easily.

Black Blood Pact

The Black Blood Pact is much like the White Blood Pact in the way that it affects both members of the party, however it merely weakens Sera, absorbing her bloodlust and adding it to Alyx allowing her to bypass the power cap and increase her power by up to six times for five minutes. Naturally with a hit to her own stamina, exhausting her in the process.

Biography:

As one of the most powerful of the underworlds tormentors Alyx was feared by those weaker than her, as she tortured the souls of the dammed she became more and more powerful. It was as if some perverted pleasure came from it. Certainly, she was a perfect example of what the underworld needed in their demons. But even when work brings you pleasure, it is still work. Alyx needed more so that is what she sought. Until she sought to much, becoming banished from the underworld, cursed to wonder the mortal realm. At least that's how she told it to Sera, who knows how much was actually true.

What is definitely true however is that Alyx the (questionably) Banished ended up in the mortal realm, at the same time Sera neared her death - the perfect time to create a contract by force and remain in the realm. Nothing a might demon such as herself could handle, she saved her, and then began the process.

You who lies before me, near death,
Agree, so that you may catch your breath,
That You, Sera Kennithson,
And I, Alyx the Banished,
Shall become one in blood.
In return for life, you agree,
That in this realm you shall accompany me
Now take my power for yourself,
Sign my contract, and let it be.

It was the easiest contract in the world. She was almost dead so she hadn't a choice! The contract was forced upon her. Alyx didn't care about the terms, she just needed to survive in the mortal realm. ANYWHERE was better than the underworld. She only needed a companion so that whoever had her powers couldn't just run off. Mortals were untrustworthy. Besides, it also meant that Alyx got free lodgings.

Extra:
Just sort of imagine her wearing something to cover the horns up. 'cause you know. Demons have horns.
I also know fuck all about demons it turns out. Hence the incredibly vague Demon Type if someone knows what it called then please tell me.

[NuttsnBolts]

@chukklehed
Declined

I raised some concerns with you through the PM that you sent, and I have yet to see anything rectified. Instead, you've disregarded my concerns and proceeded with your character design.

I am talking about the points where her senses have been increased, along with her Utility skill where she is able to create a shield from only light. Is she a defensive character or an offensive one? And by saying this I am asking you to choose. Also, the Personal reality bubble is a skill I do not understand. It does not link into the other skills and only mentions that it is the source of her power.

Your demon and your human don't share the same traits. They feel like two separate characters with different sets of skills. The ability to record down spells has no correlation to the ability to create objects and weapons. I also feel that the ability to recreate a permanent object into something else may class as over powered considering you could grab someone else's weapon and recreate it as your own.

The character simply does not flow. It feels like a collection of skills that have similar traits so that they interact with each other, but there is no set theme for your character.

This is without going into that extras part. There is no mutual agreements/clauses between Demons and Humans in their contracts. Demons steal people's souls, unwillingly, as described in the OOC. The contracts are not up for redesign and they will not be added as an extra point into the character sheets. "Telling me" to add that, and then doing it anyway, alone tipped me over the edge.

Fix it.
End of discussion.

@Oni_
Accepted!

Love the design and violent nature of her skills. Place it up in the Character sheet when you're ready.

Also a tip for the horns, just state that when she's not in battle they don't appear. ;)

[Dragoknighte]

Yamato Perez

Name:Yamato "Mat" Perez
Gender/Age: Male, 21
Appearance:

Weapons:
None
Abilities:
Fix: Mat has the ability to return objects to a state it had previously existed in. He can take a broken bottle and make it whole (the shards that used to compromise it will fly through the air back to the piece of glass he's touching), transform a table into a stack of lumber, return a rusted gate to its peak condition and even heal people and animals. This ability works almost instantaneously; however, he cannot use this ability on himself. Any damage he takes must be healed the good old fashioned way. Also, he can only "fix" things he is physically touching, and only within 20 meters of himself. If he rips up a dollar bill, keeps a piece on him and leaves the rest 20.01 meters away, he cannot return the dollar bill to its original condition. Furthermore, if Mat isn't concentrating or is in a foul mood, something he fixes could end up in a warped or disfigured state. Finally, Mat's ability cannot return the dead back to life, only repair corpses to a more whole state.

Arm Muscle: Mat's arm and shoulder muscles have become far more powerful than humanly possible, allowing him to smash through stone easily with his fist. The strength of his arms could also be increased if he managed to find enough weight to lift and trained as a normal human did. As a consequence of it being more easy to move around his bones, Mat can also move his arms superhumanly fast, but his reflexes are no better than before. The speed of his hands are limited to his ability to react. In theory, catching an arrow would be feasible for Mat's new arms, but he wouldn't be able to perceive it soon enough to actually do so.

Durability: To prevent his new arm muscles from destroying the rest of his body, Mat has become far more durable. Mat could jump off a 5 story building and still be fine, come out unscathed from a run in with a truck moving 45 mph, and step on a lego brick without feeling pain. However, piercing and slashing weapons like knives or fire still do a number on him.

Biography:
Mat had been having a normal Friday night at a bar. Hanging out with friends, drinking some beers, hitting on girls, normal 21 year old stuff. At around 11, Nature called and Mat left his friends to go take a leak. Unbeknownst to him, Ron from high school also followed him in. Back in senior year, Mat had spotted Ron cheating on his then girlfriend Sara. Mat spilled the beans and a break up ensued. Nothing happened for 3 years, and Mat had forgotten it like the rest of high school. However, Ron was a vindictive SoB and liked to serve his revenge cold. As Mat washed his hands, he felt something gran the back of his head and begin to repeatedly slam it against the sink. After a couple times, the blood was starting to impair his vision and his head was growing fuzzy.

His head pulled up for what seemed like the last time, another face appeared in the mirror crystal clear. He didn't quite hear or remember everything the man in the mirror said, but the gist was his soul for another chance at life. Well, Mat figured it was better to take his chances than to let everything end like this. The deal complete, everything began to move again. Mat took the chance to backfist Ron in the side of the head before turning around and pummeling the psycopath with a barrage of punches. Ron flew back into the stall door, his face surprisingly intact, but a lot uglier than Mat remembered.

Mat cleaned off the blood on his face and went back to the bar to get another drink.
Extra:

Pitambara

Name: Pitambara
Gender/Age: Male, 2384
Appearance:
His arms and body appear human outside of battle, and his eyes only glow when he's angry.
Demon Type: Daemon
Weapons:
None
Abilities:
Enhanced Strength: Pitambara is stronger than humans, but only just. However, his strength extends to his entire body unlike Yamato allowing him to move faster than most humans can.
Durability: Pitamabara is also more durable than normal, but to a lesser degree compared to Mat.
Fix: Pitambara has the ability to fix things too, unlike Mat, it can apply to himself, but it's far weaker. Pitambara's fixing only works in real time. A dollar bill he rips up and then fixes will repair itself as quickly as it was ripped up, no faster, no slower. Also, he can only rewind an object's status back to a state it was in 3 minutes earlier at the maximum.
Arms: When Pitambara is angry, he can grow 2 more pairs of arms, one pair above and one below his preexisting arms. These arms are functionally and aesthetically identical to his normal arms, but 6 hands are better than 2.

Biography:
Pitambara is a spirit quick to anger, but essentially good at heart. In past times, he dealt with demons by punching them and fixing any resulting damage with his powers. As time has gone on, he has found that being deemed acceptable less and less often, and the demons have gotten crafty by gaining power through offering deals to mortals, and you can't just punch a mortal to make the problem leave, because the demon would still have the soul.

After pondering over this problem for a couple decades, Pitambara decided that the best way to fix this problem would be to fight fire with fire. He would find a good soul to bestow a measure of his power to and then punch demons indirectly through his contracted. Unfortunately, he found that he still had to own the soul of those he contracted, but that was a bridge he would cross when he got to it. Being a millenia old spirit, Pitambara still hasn't completely acclimated to modern life.

Accepted!

I like the secondary abilities like fix. Something that may not always be useful in battle, but a.unique ability none the less.

Your explanation about Mat's speed is good as well. Not a lot of people think of how speed and reaction time relate to each other.

[Dragoknighte]

@NuttsnBolts I can post the sheets in the Character section now, right?

@Dragoknighte lol yes. You're all good to go.

Sorry mate. Not enough detail. Take a look at Oni and Dragoknighte's entries.
For weapons, pick one.
For the Bio I don't want anything written for after they receive the contract (It was stated in the Character Sheet layout)
Demon's age should be a number

If this is just a draft, please don't present it until it's fully complete

[NuttsnBolts]

@BlizzStill can't accept it. Like I said, take a look at the other two and use theirs for inspiration. Those things I listed were only examples. I'm looking at design and layout too. Explanations on abilities and limitations. Images for appearances. I want people to show that they've put in a decent amount of effort like they actually want to participate, and not drop out after a few days.

I'll give you one more chance before I can't accept it any further. When I see that all you did was hack out a few things and 'leave' the same details in the "extras" part, then I know that you're not really taking this seriously.

[Brodie]

Tanner

Name: Tanner McNeil
Gender/Age: Male, 18
Appearance:

Weapon:

Spider Blade

Enchanted Blade made from dead spiders and lost souls. The blade is light with a very sharp edge and can cut through most things. I does not have any particular ablilites except being able to change its an extension of the abilities he has already manifested. The blade can produces a small amount of Tanners venom (just enough to cover the swords edge and it) and can help him spin his webs (it can act as his spinneret, and fangs).

Abilities:

Spider Webs: The first ability Tanner got from his contract was the ability to spin spider webs, he can produce strong silk from his hands and mouth, that can hold ten times his weight. His webs have become a part of him, sort of like blood or saliva. This means he can only produce a certain amount a day, and if he uses that allotted amount then he has to sleep to replenish the ability.

Spider Venom: Like any spider he can produce a venom that has an acidic and educes mild paralysis on who ever it come in contact with. In cannot only dissolve most substances it comes in contact with, but also as it spreads slowly throughout the body, it starts to shut down the nervous system and this cause loss of control over certain functions, i.e if a person got bit in the arm the arm would stop working and the other parts would follow at a slower than normal rate, worst cast it knocks the target out from lack of popper lung function.

Down sides to the venom are that it is slow working, both the acidity and the paralysis take time to function properly, this gives the bitten at least five to ten minutes of free time before the effects start to kick in, maybe even fifteen, depending on who and what the person is. The venom can only be injected through a bite and from the blade he has. It like the webs has become a part of him and he only produces so much in a day. In most cases venom does not hurt the host who produces it but not in Tanners case, his venom can hurt him if it finds its way into his blood stream or on his skin.

Body Enhancement: The contract also made his body some what spider like, he can walk on walls and is incredibly flexible. His balance is also refined and he has gained a killer instinct, or hunters intuition. That drive that most hunters have when they hunt their pray.


Biography:
Tanner was a fresh out of college student working for some big corporation as an unpaid intern. He had many different jobs, but the one he usually did was whatever everyone else did not want to. That morning he had been given a long list of things to do and at the top was coffee. But not just for one person, but for the entire office and anyone else who caught him on the way out of the building. Once he got the orders he had to rush to the shop and back on foot and was soon running with his hands full of eight orders and four bags worth of coffee. He made it back to the building but when he went for the elevator, but it had somehow gotten broke while he was out so he would have to take the stairs.

The stairs of the building were industry grade and needed to be replaced, made of concrete and with minimal railing, you could also see the different pipes carrying heat and water to the higher floors, and the only lights coming from emergency flood lights installed in the walls. The concrete of the stairs were moist and hand puddles from the water pipes. He felt the drinks getting colder and he had other things he needed to finish to day so he started his run up the stairs.

His floor was the eleventh and he made it to the tenth before he sidestepped and slipped and fell on a slipper puddle down the flight of steps he had just climbed. Once he hit the bottom, he lay flat on his back with warm coffee and food scattered on and around him. Tanner could not feel anything but his left arm, he moved it and felt around, he touched his legs and could feel blood and bone popping out of each in multiple places, and his other arm was completely broken and dislocated. Some of his ribs hand been broken out and inward and had punctured his lungs and chest, this was the main source of his bleeding.

As he lay there dying, he could feel something crawling up his arm, and it was huge. Tanner could not move his neck but the thing crawled on his face and it was a spider, a giant Blackwidow, the size of a full grown males hand. It seemed to be looking him directly in the eyes and then it spoke. "I like you and you don't seem like you want to die. So why don't we become friends and in exchange for your life, you let me use you for a while. Awwww, spider got your tongue, here let me help you with that." With that the spider shifted around and bit his neck. With the bite the spider began to dissolve into his body through the bite marks. When it was gone it sent bone shattering pain throughout his entire body and he went into shock, thus sealing the contract.

In her more human form she takes the appearence of a younger girl, maybe 18 or 19, with white hair and red eyes. She stands at about 5'4 and has a small built frame, the tips of her hair begin to change color into a darker violet because of her demonic nature.

Abilities:

Spider Webs: Lolth is the spider queen, and what is any spider without her webs. She can spin webs a lot fast than Tanner but not as much and needs more time time to produce them, because her silk is far stronger and more durable than his. She also must have periods of rest in order to replenish her web glands and some kind of food.

Spider Venom: Her venom is high acidic and can cause temporary mild paralysis. It can erode most substances and can make someone lose feeling throughout a part of their body, depending on were she bites. It does not harm her at all but harms any and everyone around her, even Tanner. It takes longer to produce than anything else, one vile could take a entire week.

Body Enhancement: She is a spider, she can walk on walls and fit into to tight spaces. Also her instincts as a hunter are unmatched, some call her a blood hound on eight legs.

Well she desired a play thing, something that would get caught in her web and struggle for freedom and make the chase and kill much more fun. She had started with dammed souls but they gave up to quickly. The she moved onto lower demons and although they had put up a great struggle, it still was not enough and they tasted bad to her. So she turned her eyes to the mortal realm. Living humans had always fascinated her, they made stupid decisions everyday and did not even know it. These decisions brought them one step closer to death no matter how small, but still persevered on. This made her go crazy and soon she knew what she needed to be caught in her web next.

So she went to the mortal realm and found a building that reeked of corruption. She had so many vessels to choose from it was like a candy shop for Lolth. While making her ascend to the top floor, were the more important people dwell, she smelt blood and agony. She found the source at the bottom of a stair well, a handsome young boy, was dying but he was still clinging to life, touching different parts of his body as if they could be fixed, if he did survive he would be paralyzed for the rest of his life. But this was the perfect opportunity to get a host so she swooped down and sealed the deal.

Nathan

Name: Nathan Graham

Gender/Age: Male, 19

Appearance:

Maybe it's Natural

Weapons:

Abilities:

Cock roach control: Cockroaches obey the command of their new master. They don't do much but Nathan can see through the eyes of them when needed, Nathan can also infect them witht he infection he has so he can infect people in other ways.

The affliction: this demonic disease works like a parasite, the only cases of this disease are in Nathan and Glybine, with this he can rot anything he touches, though he now has a handle on this ability if his emotions run rampent or in danger he can rot things unintentionally, msotly this happens in his sleep, which is why he now sleeps on a new matress every two weeks. This also allows Nathan to grow spikes and other types of weapons from inside himself, his usual are blades that stick out between his fingers and a dermal armor that rests under his skin, this defense and offence system can come in handy but once broken it will take while to repair.

Disease immunity: he can only become infected with diseases given to him by Glybine, and even then he does not feel the effects.

Biography:

Nathan was born into a normal home, a Mother and a Father, two Sisters and a dog, the whole american dream. He went to high school, graduated with honors and was recently there was an outbreak of an unknown disease at Nathans college, afflicting him and twenty other students. The next three weeks was rough and Nathan was losing grip with reality, four people had already committed suicide and The only thing keeping Nathan going was helping the other students, getting them water and anti-biotics and what ever else they needed. And one day when he knew Nathan would die a thing appeard to Nathan, it called itse;f Glybine, The Afflicted. After the intial shock it explained how it created this virusand how Glybine was interested in Nathan for his acts during this terrible time. And after much debate and discussion Nathan could feel himself fading away, he agreed to the demons terms, he would become the servant of the monsters and GLybine would cure everyone of the disease and wipe it off the face of the earth. Everyone made a full recovery.

The next few weeks have been interesting to say the least, turns out Glybine works with the natural order of things and now, so does Nathan, Glybine will make him a carrior of something and Nathan would go and infect the targets Glybine told him too.

Human Meat Suit

MAYBE IT'S MAYBELINE

Abilities:
The weapon: Glybine is able to grow weapons and armor from his skin, able to make blades that stick out of his arm or an armor strong enough to stop most weapons. It used to be able to stop anything but sharing the power to Nathan has drained him immensely.

The affliction: what ever glybine touches rots,rusts or decomposes, the longer he touches something the faster it breaks. But since the pact was made everything has the same rot time, two hours and thirty five minutes, no matter what. The affliction works like a virus, if you were to cut the infected part off it won't spread to the rest of the body.

But no matter how sick Nathan got he always helped or treated the others also afflicted with this virus, making sure everyone survived but him. This made Glybine interested in Nathan, he always heard of demons taking in humans as their own but he thought only older demons did things like that. And well he appeard to Nathan, after the intial shock they both talked and they negoteated a deal. And in exchange for Nathans soul and servitude he would wipe this disease of the face of the earth, and cure Nathan and the rest of the school.

And GLbine always honors his deals and repays back all debts.

@Mugin Just reading the WIP (and this is why I don't like seeing WIPs) but I am looking for humanoid like demons (I actually don't like the toad at all! :?), and if at all possible nothing to do with the 7 deadly sins or religion. I may have things planned for those. I am looking for more weapons and skills, like with Bleach how each person has a weapon and skills that correlate with that weapon. Remember, this will be arena fighting and people have to understand your abilities with ease.
Edit: liking the spider design more. Wont comment til complete. :)

@GeliophobHyena I'm not sure how your abilities will translate well into a fight. I don't believe with the way things might go that there's not going to be enough night time sleep situations for you to use some of those abilities. They're also abilities that may pull you unintentionally out of the action meaning that others may not be able to interact with you well. They're nice ideas for a book where you can set aside chapters, but may not be suitable for a roleplay.

For any people that enter: Sometimes a more simpler idea can translate better than a complex idea. Yes I may be picky, but I'm after a style similar to Bleach, Tokyo Ghoul, Death Note, Parasyte, Supernatural, Grimm. Forms of media like that with demons that can blend in with society easily. I'm sorry if I'm appearing picky, but I'm after a certain style and format so that things don't go too far out of hand.

If in doubt, look at the accepted character sheets for guidance, and look at my listing of characters in the "Char" section.

I am done @NuttsnBolts

@Mugin

Very nice. I like it a lot!!!

Could you do two things for me though.
First, the parasitical effect of the venom. What will that do? Looking up on google it seems to have some mind control features. Just thinking from a roleplay perspective, or whether something like paralytical as in reduces movement (eg, loose complete feeling in one's arm for a period of time) would work better. Just after an explanation of pros and cons. :)

Secondly, under Lolth's pic can you give a brief, 2 line description of her appearance while not in battle, ie when around other humans.

Once that's clarified I can call it a good sheet and accept it. :)

Edit: Accepted

@NuttsnBolts I'll change up the powers right now Boss! :D
