So basically I am looking for someone to RP with me in a Resident Evil setting. I have no real preference on the other characters gender but I will be playing a male police officer of the RPD.
Plot
The RP will start as the reports of murders become more and more frequent throughout the city. It won't take long until everything turns into a total and utter nightmare for our two characters. Their overall aim will be to survive and eventually escape the city by whatever way they can.
Possible Plot Ideas:
☣ Both characters start as RPD officers responding to a call ☣ My RPD officer could be responding to a call made by your character ☣ Other than that I am open to any suggestions
Basic Character Details
☣ No canon characters ☣ No characters assosciated with Umbrella including mercenaries, scientists etc ☣ No characters under the age of 18 ☣ Every other character is pretty much acceptable whether a police officer, homeless person etc (I may still veto a character if I have forgotten something)
Setting Details
☣ This is going to be based on the classic Resident Evil games, not the movies or anything after and including RE4. ☣ Knowledge of Resident Evil isn't necessary as I will provide enough backstory as well as a somewhat in depth dossier on what is lurking within Raccoon City if needed.
RP Details
☣ Realistically I want someone who would be into this for the long haul. That means being patient more than anything. While I am capable of posting several times a week, there are times where real life catches up and I have to dedicate time to things out of my control. At the same time I understand that situation may also happen to my potential partner. As I said, I really want someone who will be here for the duration, even if there ends up being a week between posts. Please keep this in mind when thinking about mentioning your interest.
<Snipped quote by CaptainSully> We’ve gotten a few inquiries in PMs, so I guess maybe we should discuss it and keep you in mind. But you understand that we don’t want to have too large of a playerbase at the same time.
I 100% fully understand and have absolutely no expectations from you guys to open up. Just thought it wouldn't hurt to mention the interest. Whatever happens, I hope you guys enjoy it.
Hey everyone, unfortunately i'm going to call it quits on this. I'm coming onto the Discord every day to hundreds of messages of banter and I honestly cannot be bothered to trawl through it to try and find any stuff relevant to the story. I really do hope this lasts for you all. Take care.
"The affairs of mortals mean nothing to me...I am simply here for the enjoyment of the hunt..."

Race
Necro
Culture
The Necro have no culture to speak of given that there only a handful in the world.
Racial Features
A Necro is a Demon who is born when the soul of an inherently strong willed creature is taken before their time is due. Whether it is an accident or an individual having the ability to act against fate, someone with strong will power killed in this way creates a rift. The souls of the dead are drawn forth from the rift and combine to form what becomes a Necro. A Necro has no knowledge or memories of the souls that it is made up of, being an entirely new entity within itself. This means that a Necro begins its life much like a child, learning about the world around it. In most instances a Necro will either be good or evil based off the interactions it has in it's early years. No Necro is good or evil from its creation.
☩ Each Necro formed takes on the appearance of a glowing mist in humanoid form. They have no true physical body to speak of but are able to manipulate objects and effect the world around them. As such they can wield weapons and wear clothing.
☩ Each Necro has different abilities ranging from pyromancy to manipulating light, however all have the capability to feed on the souls of the living. The Necro are able to visibly rip the soul from a living being and absorb it into themselves by using a weapon that is bound to them on their creation. The difficulty that it takes to draw the soul is based on the willpower of the person being attacked. The process is difficult and a heavy tug of war. Successfully feeding provides a temporary boost to a Necro's power.
☩ Necro can make themselves and their gear incorporeal for brief moments.
☩ The key weaknesses of any Necro are to silver and salt, as well as holy based magic. Silver weapons will cut at a Necro in the same way as a steel sword would a humans flesh. Salt on the other hand burns like acid. Being a demonic force also makes them susceptiple to holy powers.
Appearance
Tartarus glows a bright green and gives off a faint black mist around his extremeties. His voice is deeply unsettling.
Occupation/Concept
Vigilante Demon Hunter
Training
☩ Combat | This incoporates all types whether it is unarmed, close quarters or ranged. Tartarus is trained to be an efficient combatant that can stand toe to toe with the strongest and most capable fighters.
☩ Demonology | Has as much knowledge of the demon world as anyone else in existince.
☩ Necromancy | Trained in the art of manipulating the bodies of the deceased, Tartarus is capable of affecting the dead. The magic however doesn't last forever and the toll it takes on the vessels causes them to disintegrate after an hour. His powers over the dead extended further than simply summoning.
☩ Agile | Capable of great speeds and reactions from his training, Tartarus is highly agile and difficult to pin down.
Powers
☩ Necro Race Powers | Being a Necro grants Tartarus with a useful set of abilities that are generic to his race and some which are not:
☩ Soul Eater | Like all Necro, Tartarus is able to take the souls of living creatures. This grants him a temporary power increase at the cost of the other person dying. While the preference is to take the soul or essence of an enemy, there have been instances where allies have willingly sacrificed themselves to give him the power to defeat powerful demons. Tartarus does not need to do this for sustenance.
☩ Incorporeal | With nothing more than a thought Tartarus can make himself and all he holds incorporeal and immune to most physical effects. This is as simple as blinking but at present he is only capable of doing it once every few minutes for a maximum of ten seconds. It allows him to move through solid objects or for projectiles to move through him. He is unable to move through magitech or essence empowered materials. When incorporeal he can still be affected by the following:
☩ Hooks of the Unknown | An ability unique to Tartarus and something he stumbled across while learning to become a necromancer. He is capable of opening small portals from which hooked chains emerge and latch onto his target. The number and size of the hooks is all dependent on the amount of focus he applies. The hooks can be used as restraints but also as weapons.
☩ Necromancy | The ability to manipulate the dead is something that Tartarus was trained in as he aged. While not the go to style of magic for dealing with demons, it has proved effective.
☩ Summon | The basic ability of a necromancer is to raise the dead. Tartarus can do this on a couple of corpses at a time but is only able to keep them moving for an hour.
☩ Flaming Skulls | Tartarus can throw magical skulls that glow the same colour as himself. They explode in glorious hellfire causing grievous damage to any caught in the flames. They do not damage inanimate objects, only the living.
☩ Demonology | Through his studying Tartarus has learnt spells and abilities to help him deal with Demon threats.
☩ Binding | While lacking divine power Tartarus has found a round about way to deal with demonic threats. Once a demon has been significantly damaged, Tartarus can bind them within any item. This is a time consuming process depending on the power of the demon in question. Once bound, the demon is trapped until a time when the item is destroyed. The bound demon can be destroyed by divine magic once within the item.
☩ Trap | A demon trap is a magical symbol that is imbued into the floor. Once a demon crosses into it they are trapped. The length of time for them to escape is based on the size of the trap and the power of the demon within. Longer summoning time results in stronger traps.
☩ Exorcism | On the rare occassion a demon takes a living host, Tartarus is able to exorcise it so that it can be fought in its true form.
☩ Miscellaneous | Some of the powers that Tartarus possesses do not conform to the above headings so as such, are based here:
☩ Raven Bond | The word airship is a poor choice of words for Tartarus' choice of transport. He is capable of summoning a large spectral raven that he can ride from destination to destination. The raven is capable of matching the speed and agility of any mechanical airship.
☩ The Scythe | Tartarus was bound to a scythe on his creation and as such is able to summon and unsummon it whenever he pleases.
Equipment
☩ Soul Scythe | The scythe that was bound to him on his creation, it appears to be nothing more than a staff out side of battle. When ready for battle, a blade of pure energy emerges from the mouth atop the staff which is as sharp and capable as any sword.
☩ Leather Armour | Basic leather armour that is adorned with items of a necromantic aesthetic.
☩ Binding Items | An assortment of trinkets inscribed with the binding seals used to trap demons.
☩ Bottomless Pockets | The pockets of Tartarus' jacket are imbued with a magic that allow for almost infinite storage. However due to the limitation of the pockets, only small items can be stored.
Airship
Motivation He initially hunted demons to help a village but following the death of his mentor he does it now as a hobby to pass the time.
Personality After learning that he would never die of old age, Tartarus' perspective on the world changed. He was briefly exposed to the feelings of loss when his mentor died but realised that it wasn't through sadness but simply a frustration that someone he quite enjoyed having around had expired. This has led to an increased apathy towards what he views as simple, mortal affairs. This apathy and inability to completely understand the needs of others often rubs people the wrong way, even if they understand his usefulness.
In terms of his job, he is driven by the enjoyment he gets from the disposing of demons. He does occassionally opt to do other jobs if the money is good. Of all the things he doesn't understand of the mortal world, money is one thing he understands the importance of. So sufficient payment is usually enough to get him out of his comfort zone.
Flaws
☩ Difficulty relating to others to the point he can come across as rude or judgemental. ☩ Occassionally apathetic towards events of great danger or destruction. ☩ Low level of tech knowedlge given his proficiency with magic. ☩ Weakness to silver, salt and holy powers.
Bio Tartarus was created from the perished souls of an alien ship trying to pierce through the Veil. A ship of refugees and last of their race, they had stumbled upon Elysia to try and survive. The tradgedy however was that they, as many before them, were killed in the process. With a will to survive amongst each and every person, the formation of a Necro was no surprise and thus Tartarus was born.
After his creation he wandered the world of Elysia for a week before he stumbled upon a village. He found himself having a natural capability to speak the native language but was treated with heavy suspiscion. His appearance and almost demonic voice scared many but he was granted a chance by an old man. His knowledge of other worlds and realms was without match in Elysia. A demon hunter by trade, he had protected his village for decades until Tatarus' arrival. He knew what Tartarus was, his ghost like form a give away to being a Necro. Using the childhood state of Tartarus the old man shaped him into the next generation of demon hunter.
In the immediate years that followed Tartarus learnt the ways of his master which included martial skills and most importantly, how to defeat demonic threats without divine power. A natural affinity to fight and defeat demons showed the old man he had rightly seen the potential in Tartarus to take on demons. For a full decade the pair worked together and made a healthy living. It was during this decade that Tartarus discovered a capability to channel necromantic magic. Since that day he has honed his skills further and continues to do so.
As the old man approached his last days he explained to Tartarus what he was. The Necro understood what he was told but his apparent immortality meant that his mindset changed. He was sad to see the old man die but he knew that if he continued to make close bonds with others then he would spend the rest of his existence persistently mourning loss of creatures with an expiry date. As a result he decided to move on from the village and to actively hunt demons alone. To the present day he doesn't know if the village still exists or if it was burnt to the ground and in reality, is not concerned. To him the eradication of demons has become more of a hobby rather than being something he does for the safety of others.
Relationships
This is a catalogue of people I have seen or heard of who were worthy of note. This list isn't comprehensive because sometimes I cannot be bothered to record such meaningless tripe.
My CS...still WIP...you probably hate it...let me know...thanks.
