History:

Darker Than Black

@DocTachyon
Personality was never my strong suit. All I know about contractors personality is that they are logical and have little interest in expressing emotions. Any advice?

@Jangel13

Just give it a little flair. Make it more unique. I can't explain how, but it's something you just need to do. Someone might say you need to...

Darker Than Black

NAME:

Kou

^{Japanese unisex name meaning 'happiness', 'light', and 'peace'.}

GENDER:

Female

AGE:

In cat years, Kou is 2 which is the human equivalent of 24.

RACE:

Moratorium

APPEARANCE:

Kou is miniature and adorable with tiny, beady, black eyes and smooth white fur. She wears a red collar that has a golden star on the back.

ABILITIES & SKILLS (POWERS, INCLUDED!):

Much like Mao in the series, Kou possess animals, preferably cats, and uses her size to advantage to follow criminals in almost any pocket-sized area on their body or handbags and distract them with her rapid strikes of her claws and sharp cat fangs for her allies to defeat. In addition to the high similarity like Mao, she can send intel through telepathy no matter if Contractors, Moratoriums, and Dolls aren't at face value.

So, it boils down to:

ANIMAL POSSESSION
TELEKINESIS AMONG ALLIES OR VICTIMS ONLY

PERSONALITY:

Kou always has a sunny disposition and she is frequent in the language of sarcasm and being goofy despite the line of work she does. She likes to consume a lot of food but fortunately for Kou, she does not fatten. She is also very sentimental and does get attached to the people she works with even if they're not on her team; she's quite the empath which is unlike for a cat because they're normally detached and cold.

Oh, and she's definitely a stalker.

HISTORY:

Kou was a dedicated high school student who passed her exit high school exams with flying colors, receiving a scholarship for her lab work in Chemistry to attend a university in Australia for two years. Her parents were born in Hokkaido and grew up on their farm along with her three other sisters, her being the middle child. For better opportunities, she and her sister lived together in an apartment complex and the boiler room exploded on a Sunday night, their condo being closer to the area, it quickly lit up and Kou and her sister, Aoki, burned to death but somehow Kou's consciousness was still intact and along came a mysterious Contractor just minutes after she witnessed Aoki burn until her last breath.

When she awoke, she had first possessed the body of a miniature dog and went off to fend for herself, having many owners until she became comfortable in her new form, hosting over a dying cat which is the specific cat she has been possessing for over many years, seven to be exact, but the cat's age will forever remain at two.

Her human form before the accident and her first animal possession.

There we go, @DocTachyon!

@Yin

Accepted. Move it on over to the characters tab.

Name: Shiba Akabane

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Race: Contractor

Appearance: Shiba has short dark hair but he has bright green eyes and he has a medium build. Shiba has light brown skin and a scar on his left shoulder and wears a gold necklace around his neck with an angel insignia on it.

Powers: water manipulation

Remuneration: burn a body part in hot water if the ability is used for to long then he is required to sit in a boiling hot bath for a certain amount of time depending on how long he has used his ability and to what degree

Skills and Abilities: Shiba is able to use any amount of water and use it as his weapon if he wanted to he could turn a bottle of water into a grenade or some rain into a spear to skewer with his greatest ability is of adaptation to each situation that he is presented with.

Weapons and Equipment: a pair of knuckle dusters and a bottle of water

Personality: Shiba is a pessimist and has gone cold to the world although he understands how everyone feels he doesn't really seem to care. Shiba went through the change into becoming a contractor when he hit puberty so he still remembers what he used to be to those he left behind back home. Shiba is also known to be an analyst and likes to play chess, one of the few liberties he was able to keep despite changing his personality all those years ago.

History: Shiba was a normal child at one point, he was just like any other kid playing and having fun with others but soon after his 14th birthday shiba slowly started to discover his power of water manipulation. Shiba soon started to become distant to everyone else and started to seem more pessimistic then usual unfortunately at that time he was thought to be clinically depressed which let bullies roam in to take whatever they wanted from him but Shiba wouldn't stand for it and before he even knew what had happened he had killed them. They may not have been nice people but they didn't deserve to die, needless to say after that Shiba left home to try and find wherever he could and take whatever job would hire him.

@Jangel13

I can't accept this just yet. To what extent can he manipulate water? Additionally, your personality section is... Very bland. It reads like "Generic Contractor #4766". Try to make the personality more distinct.

Kaede Asano

"Hmm? Oh, sorry - its almost closing time, but let me pour you a glass of wine. On the house. Or rather, out of my paycheck. But you're cute, so I'll let it go~"

Kaede Asano

"Kaede Asano, at your service."

Name:
Kaede Asano

"I think its quite obvious, no? But I suppose I could pull off this vest if you need further convincing..."
Gender:
Female

"Well, aren't you inquisitive. 24."
Age:
24

"Now...I'm a human. Who says Contractors aren't human? You'd have to define human, first, really. But that's a question for people who care...want some more wine?"

Race:
Contractor

"Well, I'd say I'm a solid 9/10. I do think these things are a bit too big...but well, I blame my mother."

Appearance:
Kaede is a rather attractive woman of above average height standing at roughly five foot seven. She has short cut hair that she likes keeping very neat and tidy. Indeed, most of the time she has a tendency to give off an air of sophistication and refinement, and uses that charisma to the best of her abilities. The fact she tends to wear fashionable vests and suits even when she's not working tends to help with this image. She has extremely blond hair, that almost appears white in some lights. She has grey eyes, and more often than not, you can find her smiling a friendly smile to most people.

Despite her overall feminine appearance, she is in fact quite strong as well. The vests and long pants tend to cover a well toned body, that is quite used to doing some less than reputable actions and physical activity.

"Ever see someone liquefy from the inside after drinking acid? No? You should, its quite fun."

Powers:
Kaede's ability, is able to turn most, if not all liquids into some form of corrosive substance. Now, she can't just immediately turn all liquids in the area into some form of acid. She has to be quite close to the liquid for her to do it. Within a few feet. The strength of the acid doesn't seem to be variable, meaning she can't control how strong it is. It is always the same strength - and its strong enough to eat through human tissue quite quickly.

As far as metal and other things - it can eat through metal, though how quick it does so depends on the strength of the metal itself. However, it doesn't appear she is able to turn certain things into a corrosive substance. Blood, for example - for whatever reason, she is unable to use it. And of course, the acid will also harm her, should she also come into contact with it so she has to be quite careful. Small amounts won't cause too much damage other than a small burning sensation, but anything higher can literally melt someones face off.

Remuneration:
Her payment is quite simple really:
Consuming large amount of alcohol, until she is in fact, drunk. Not a bad payment all things considered. Though, she does hate being drunk. Since y'know, hangovers are a bitch.

Skills and Abilities:
Non-combat skills
-great cook
-Logical and strategic like most other contractors.

Combat Skills
She makes sure to stay in mostly top-shape, so she's no slouch in a fight even if her abilities aren't entirely suited for direct combat.
-Decent hand-to-hand skills.
-Seems to be quite agile and a bit of an acrobat - able to swiftly, unseen and silently.
-Has fairly accurate aim with throwing small objects, such as knives and other things. Like vials of acid.

Weapons and Equipment:
-She carries around vials of water with her, tucked into her vest and other garments. Obviously used for combative purposes. How many does she have? Well, a woman can get very creative with hiding places...
-She wears gloves that have been specifically designed to resist corrosive substances when on the job. Its not going to stop it completely - just slow it down.

Personality:
Of course, like with all contractors, she is quite logical and quite the tactician. About par for the course with most contractors, and usually acts on her own self interests. That said, the rumor that all contractors don't have emotions is completely false. She does in fact, have emotions like most other contractors.

She is rather friendly most of the time and most people immediately like her. This makes her secondary job as a hostess and bartender at an upscale club quite easy, most of the time considering any difficult customers find themselves quite charmed by her. Not to mention, if they cause trouble they will get forcibly evicted by her...and considering her slight sadistic streak, she will definitely do it and take her time enjoying it.

That said, her friendly and refined attitude, while not a front or an act, she does have a slightly darker personality. Which involves a slight sadistic streak, and great enjoyment out of her actual job...which is not exactly as refined as the rest of her life. What is this job? Well, lets just say...you want someone gone, she can get rid of them. Permanently. She's not affiliated with any major group, but more of a freelancer who takes care of any 'problem' no matter how difficult. Ever see someone melt from the inside out before? No? Its fun, you should try it.

History:
Kaede, as far as she knows was born a Contractor - though her abilities didn't start manifesting full when she was around seven or eight - around the same time her little sister Marise was born. (It was kind of funny figuring out how the eight year old got drunk) Of course, being the cute little kid that she was, she was able to put on an act fairly early on and no one was the wiser that she had the abilities of a contractor. Growing up, she had a fairly easy life and didn't really start using her abilities seriously until later on.

In fact, she was always a rather popular girl. She excelled in almost all school subjects, and even was the president of all her classes....except for the last year she attended high school, when she was 18. The day her parents were killed.

Despite being a contractor, it did in fact affect her quite deeply. Her little sister even more so. So much, that she dropped out of school and started picking up various jobs. She was quite interested in working for the police for a time...after all, with her...unique set of skills, she was fairly certain she'd be pretty good at the job.

Well, that was until she got a call from a rather odd man introducing himself as an interested party in hunting down the people who killed her parents. It was more blackmail, really. He'd keep her abilities as a contractor quiet if she helped him. He said he'd make sure she got paid enough to continue sending her sister to highschool, and cover other expenses. Considering her little sister and she herself, simply wanting to be more or less left alone, she begrudgingly took the offer, but not before letting him know...that she would find him, and kill him if he so much as breathed a word to anyone.

It took her two years and quite a few lives on her hands before she found the one responsible. Another contractor. Getting to him was rather easy - the sleazy man thought he was getting quite a night of fun with her, but ended up liquefying from the inside out after drinking a glass of cheap alcohol.

Afterwards, the man who had set her on this path (she still never found out who that was) finally said their deal was up, and she could go back to her normal life if she wanted too. For about six months, she did just that. During her time as an assassin, she made quite a few friends and landed a job at a upscale club.

...and then, a request for her skills came in the form of a phone call - plus a rather hefty payment should she accept.

She could have very well said no...but, well, where would the fun in that be? By now, she had grown a bit bored and welcomed a change of pace.

Notes: Hei's code is BK-201

well, there she is!

The first one. I'm wokring on another - a human. It's going to be her sister. I'll have her up sometime later tonight, maybe. i need a break at the moment xP

Just tell me if you have any concerns about Kaede, and I'll work them out~

Also, you said to write Hei's Messier code number in the 'Notes' Section of the Cs, but there isn't one in the actual CS xP

@Rune_Alchemist

Accepted. Move to character tab, Please. I also realize that now, I'll amend the rules...

Marise Asano

"Oh...you were talking to me? S-sorry, I don't...I don't uh, talk to many people..."

Marise Asano

"It's uh, Marise. Asano. I mean Marise Asano. That's my name."
Name:
Marise Asano

"I know I'm not exactly that girly looking, but that's a bit mean..."

Gender:
Female

"18..."

Age:
18

Race:
Human

Appearance:
Marise is rather tall and lanky - definitely not on the attractive side in any way, unlike her sister who as she puts it 'got everything in the gene's department.' Her most defining feature she thinks, is her extremely pale skin. (though, really, its a bit of a hassle considering she never tans. Just burns. A lot.) She has two light blue eyes, along with shoulder length hair. As far as fashion goes, she is completely at loss about it - and often wears whatever she wants too, often arranging it in some half-hazard fashion. Her school uniform is usually a complete mess - though she doesn't particularly care.

Powers:
...does being extremely bad at social interactions count as a power? Okay, maybe not that bad but she doesn't like talking to people.

Remuneration:
N/A

Skills and Abilities:
- is actually rather talented at computery things. Also hacking. (don't tell anyone.)
- Breaking and Entering? She's your girl. Can crack a lock on something quite easily if its not some super advanced lock or something.
- Parkour? Parkour. Despite being lanky and tall, she's rather athletic. Running is quite easy for her as well.
- A bit of an artist. She finds painting quite fun. (Though, she uses it for Graffiti more than anything. What? It's art.)

Weapons and Equipment:
-N/A. Unless cans of spray-paint count.

Personality:
Unlike her sister, Marise isn't a social butterfly or all that popular. In fact, she's the quiet kid in the back of class no one remembers or speaks to that much. Though, on occasion someone will talk to her - or offer to do something or help her with school work considering her grades aren't exactly much to brag about.

She's rather bad at talking to people, and more often than not ends up putting her foot in her mouth in some way. Sometimes, she'll even say something quite insulting and be quite oblivious to what she even said. Really, she tries to be perfectly friendly sometimes, but always comes off as a bit odd in the end, if not somewhat cold or aloof due to her recent attempts in trying to actually think before speaking...which could lead to some misunderstandings.

That said, she's a bit of a rebel under that quiet exterior. She likes to go out late at night and find a nice old building somewhere or alley and just paint all over the wall. Also has experience with breaking into places. (She's not a thief, though.) She just likes seeing if she can, in fact, break into some place. Fortunately, she has yet to get caught.

History:
What's there to say about Marise? Well, she's basically your less than average school student, currently in her final year of schooling before she either goes to a university somewhere (yeah, right) or tries and gets a job. Her history isn't exactly that remarkable.

She grew up with her sister, Kaede. She doesn't recall much about her parents, other than the fact they were quite kind people - she was just twelve when they were killed in what she believes to be an accident. She doesn't remember much, other than the fact that it changed Kaede quite a bit. she dropped out of school, and started taking odd jobs around. Marise may not exactly be book-smart, but she knows her sister is probably up to something less than reputable. There's no way working at some high-class bar or whatever could ever pay enough for them to live comfortably.

Still, she has never pried. If only because she doesn't care. Hey, free food. Currently, its her last year of school. She's probably going to try and get into some field involving computers or electronics. Despite her rebellious nature though, she doesn't like seeing people get hurt, and would probably try to help someone in trouble if she thought she could.

Notes: BK-201

Alrighty, there she is, my second Character. She might not be that prevalent to begin with, though I could probably come up with some way to get her involved in shenanigans quite easily xP

Now I just eagerly await to see if this thing actually gets going....

@Rune_Alchemist

Accepted. To the character tab she goes.

Darker Than Black

Hmm...quesiton.

I don't think in the series it's ever stated how contractors are created, yes? It's been awhile since I've watched it, so I could be way off.

Would it be possible for a human to become a contractor later? I do know Hei wasn't originally one, but I'm a bit fuzzy on the details since I last watched/read this in highschool xP

just asking, because depending on the answer one of my characters will be starting out as a regular human. Might become a contractor later, dunno yet really, but it could be a thing.

@Rune_Alchemist

The series never outright states how it happens, but, it does, somehow. Just ad-lib on it, but keep it within the realm of believeability. When contractors gain their abilities is random- Some are born with them, others in puberty, others still in adulthood.

Darker Than Black

NAME:

Kou

^{Japanese unisex name meaning 'happiness', 'light', and 'peace'.}

GENDER:

Female

AGE:

In cat years, Kou is 2 which is the human equivalent of 24.

RACE:

Moratorium

APPEARANCE:

Kou is miniature and adorable with tiny, beady, black eyes and smooth white fur. She wears a red collar that has a golden star on the back.

ABILITIES & SKILLS (POWERS, INCLUDED!):

Much like Mao in the series, Kou possess animals, preferably cats, and uses her size to advantage to follow criminals in almost any pocket-sized area on their body or handbags and distract them with her rapid strikes of her claws and sharp cat fangs for her allies to defeat. In addition to the high similarity like Mao, she can send intel through telepathy no matter if Contractors, Moratoriums, and Dolls aren't at face value.

PERSONALITY:

Kou always has a sunny disposition and she is frequent in the language of sarcasm and being goofy despite the line of work she does. She likes to consume a lot of food but fortunately for Kou, she does not fatten. She is also very sentimental and does get attached to the people she works with even if they're not on her team; she's quite the empath which is unlike for a cat because they're normally detached and cold.

Oh, and she's definitely a stalker.

HISTORY:

WIP.

I kind of need help with her history, @DocTachyon.

@Yin

History boils down to, like, how did they get where they are now? Where did they grow up? How did they become a Moratorium? How long ago was that? What's thier life like? Any important friends or relationships, if so, how did they meet? That sorta deal.

Darker Than Black

@DocTachyon
you want a character here or in the character tab?

@Jangel13

In here, please. Move them over when they're accepted.

Darker Than Black: The Black Contractor RP?

IC is up. Have fun, kids.

Darker Than Black

Darker Than Black

”A night sky full of cries
Hearts filled with lies
The contract- is it worth the price?
A soul pledged to the darkness
Now I’ve lost it
I know I can kill
Does the truth exist beyond the gates?”

The Gates. No one’s sure exactly what happened- Tokyo was being evacuated, the military was everywhere- It was bad. But suddenly, it stopped. Something happened at the site of the gate, but no one’s sure what it was. And life went back to normal. The existence of people with powers- Contractors- became known, as did the existence of the soulless creatures called dolls.
And so, life goes on. But rumors are starting- Something about an organization that’s hunting contractors. It’s not the CIA, FBI, Russians, not even that mysterious ‘Syndicate’ we’ve been hearing about lately, in those Kirihara cases. But anyway, I guess life’s just goin’ on as usual. but now people are more aware of Contractors, and the organization that lurks in the shadows…

Overview

Welcome to this Darker Than Black RP! Basically, this takes place after the first season, but prior to the Gemini of the Meteor. Hei and Yin are out of the city, Mao and Huang are… Shall we say, indisposed, to avoid spoilers? This is based on an original idea of a group of humans hunting the contractors. Your characters can be contractors or humans, and if you want, shoot me a PM and we can have a conversation about your character being involved with the people who hunt contractors.

Rules

-Arguing with the GM is punishable by dea- I mean, frowned upon.
-Powerplaying and godmodding is also a no no.
-Try to keep your characters within Tokyo.
-YOUR CONTRACTORS WILL NOT HAVE THIER CONTRACTS FULLY PAID. They can fully pay them off in RP, however.
-No Mary Sues or Gary Stus.
-Available races are Human, Contractor, Moratorium, and Regressor. Dolls can be created, but only as a second character.
-You can have up to two characters of the main races, but you can have four if two of them are dolls.
-Yes, you do need to fill out the personality section if you have a contractor. They mentioned in the first episode that contractors do have personalities.
-No canon characters.
-Write Hei’s messier code number in the ‘Notes’ section of the sheet if you’ve read this. (Hint: It’s very similar to his room number in season 1.)
-If you go missing for any period longer than a week without notifying me, your character will be either taken control of by me, or killed in a way that is either hilarious, dramatic, or a combination of the two.
- The better your sheet is, the more powerful I will allow your character to be. If you write like a six year old and want the ability to have a touch of death, that’s a no-no.
