You Are (Demon/Apocalypse/SuperPowers)

Something came up so my CS probably won't be up until tomorrow afternoon. I've pretty much completed the Ability description, appearance and the basics, I just have to do Personality and History.

Attack on Titan

Where is everyone? :s

You Are (Demon/Apocalypse/SuperPowers)

I'd like to show interest in this. I'm open for any state, and I'm not sure what powers/abilities my character would have yet either. I may go for a healing roll, but I'm not sure at the moment. I'll start working on my CS tomorrow and try to have it in then/within the next few days.

~EDIT~ On second thought I've decided to create a female Healer located in California, unless someone's bagsed any of those outside the thread :)

Blackbury: City of Supernatural

Name: ‘Riza’

Appearance:

Human Form

Canine Form

Gender: Female
Age: 26
Race: Black Dog

Info

Lore holds that Black Dogs, sometimes referred to as Hellhounds or Demon Dogs, are malevolent apparitions said to lead humans to their deaths. In truth, Black Dogs can be just as corporeal as every other earth walking beast in Blackbury, though the association these creatures have with death and the afterlife isn’t far off - in fact, they could easily be considered a canine version of the Grim Reaper.

Traditionally, Black Dogs are servants of death, able to sniff out the dying (both supernatural and human), to consume their souls, which they would then carry to the afterlife. They have no master, per se, as death is not technically a single person or entity, and were not created nor forged.. they simply exist. None other than servants, they act on supernatural instinct to seek out their targets, and driven by these instincts are mindless, existing only for the single, never-ending purpose of fulfilling their duty. Black Dogs cannot be harmed, cannot age, but are as natural and as essential to the world as the sun is to the earth.

Black Dogs have existed for as long as death has been a factor in this world, though in recent decades their behaviour has altered dramatically, most likely due to society and the modernisation of the human world (despite the fact that they are technically not of this earth, or this universe). Recently, some have even begun to grow consciousness, mimicking human ideals, forms and developing the ability to think for themselves - though the exact cause of such remarkable, seemingly impossible developments is unknown. Because of this, some have begun to integrate themselves into society, though Awareness gained this way takes decades to accomplish.

As well as acting as reapers, Black Dogs also instigate deals in which death can be avoided, though this is only a recent development implemented around the 1940’s, and is used exclusively by the mortal, supernatural races. Otherworldly deals can be made by supernatural beings who wish to cheat death.. for a price, and Black Dogs not only carry out these deals, but act as enforcers when arrangements are not followed through with.

-Supernatural blood, such as the blood of a vampire or werewolf, is extremely poisonous to Riza when ingested.
-All Black Dogs are immortal, intangible and invisible, and cannot be harmed or interacted with by anything manmade or supernatural. An infinite amount exist in the world, though they are not well known within the supernatural community due to the essential part they play in keeping the world in check. In this way, they could be considered more of a cosmic force than anything. However, in Riza’s case she is almost as vulnerable as the average household pet, having lost almost every quality that distinguishes her as a Hound. Only a small part of her original form still exists, hence her ability to shift into her original visage and retain a limited range of abilities.
-Most flesh wounds can heal over the span of a few hours, though this depends on their severity.
-Potentially fatal wounds will cause Riza to revert back to her natural form (if she is in her human form at the time), where she will be forced to remain until she has recuperated. Whilst she is sick or injured she is unable to shift back into her human form.
-Has retained her shape-shifting ability, healing ability, superhuman strength, agility, senses and endurance. She is also gifted with the innate capability to learn almost anything, which has come extremely handy in regards to self-defence.

Biography: Black Dogs are infinite, godly, and immortal. They exist to serve, and they fulfil their duties without error. They do not rest, and do not require it, though for all of their divinity and all of the influence they hold, it seems that even gods can fall. Riza is proof of that.

The specifics of the event are shady to Riza herself, which is understandable considering she had no real mind to remember it by. All she knows is that she must have come into contact with.. something, an unknown force, that she consumed - as was her duty - and then woke up human and naked in the snow somewhere in Sweden, where she experienced incredible, agonizing pain, at the same time aware of every sound, scent and emotion that one could experience at any given time. Her new senses overloaded, she collapsed in shock, and was later found by the man who owned the surrounding farms. She could not speak, as she had never learned how, and utilising her new mind and body came slowly and with much effort. She had no memory of who or what she was, who or what she had been, where she was, or where she had been, but the old man took to teaching her the basics of life and living, having quickly caught on to the fact that she was unschooled in such things. Though she looked to be at least twenty years of age, he raised her like a child, and she stayed with him for the next eight years of her life.

It took her years to accommodate to the various aspects of mundane life, even as a near adult, as though she had learned how to survive as a human, she still struggled to understand the thoughts, mannerisms and actions of other people. Her mind now matured into that of a young woman, her thirst for answers drove her away from her new home. It was difficult letting go, but her father understood, and she travelled across the sea in search of her origins. Long story very short, her quest took her, after many, many years, to Blackbury, where a not inconsiderable amount of digging led her to discovering what she once was – or at least, what the evidence has led her to believe she once was. Here, she was also able to unlock a number of her latent powers.

As of late Riza has been working tirelessly to keep herself on her feet, and though she is not technically considered a bounty hunter, she does what she can to get by. When she’s not out earning a wage this way, she will make Deals with supernaturals with a target on their back – though they have to fit a certain code for her to agree to help them. Teaming up with hunters is not unusual for her, and she has become known as a dependable yet temporary partner, often keeping contacts in the loop of their targets or possible threats.

Personality: Riza is quiet and calculating, though she isn’t always serious and has quite a number of smalls quirks. She considers her life to have truly started when she first gained Awareness, which was twenty years ago. She somewhat lacks empathy, though this does in no way mean she cannot feel, and she is still learning how to both display her emotions and understand the emotions of others. Humans and Supernaturals alike are still somewhat unusual to her, though the trepidation she holds towards certain races stems more from lack of interaction than anything. As she is still missing a lot of information about life and the world, she often busies herself with reading up on world history, and familiarising herself with different aspects of the world’s races, cultures and events. She is also fascinated by the simpler things such as electricity, and has been known to overindulge on the things she never needed as a Dog, such as large meals, coffee, sweets and of course, chocolate, which she consumes by the bucket load.

Attack on Titan

Name: Clementine ‘Clem’ Tosa
Height: 6’2’’
Sex: Female
Age: 24
Rank: Survey Corps, Veteran

Appearance

Titan: No

Bio

: In Clementine’s own opinion, her life before the military was uneventful. Knowing that so many other families had gone through similar traumas, she has never truly considered the events in her life to be overly significant, despite the feelings of loss that have stayed with her. Born to a single parent family in Shiganshina, her mother did everything in her power to make sure her children were well looked after, though this is not to say that they often had their struggles, being a single income family. Having three brothers and one sister made it extremely difficult, though once they all reached a certain age, they began to help in any way they could. The twins, the two eldest brothers, Isamu and Shou, soon found a calling in the military, and once they turned eighteen decided that it was time to enlist. Thomas, the youngest brother at sixteen years of age, and her even younger sister, Tai, at six, were left at home with Clem and her mother. Both Clem and Thomas found jobs at the market and worked hard to earn a suitable income.

A few years later, by the time Clem was eighteen, things had stabilised, but the first tragedy unfolded when Isamu’s entire garrison was wiped out by Titans. He did not survive, and Shou was drafted into his position as a member of the Survey Corps. Their mother fell into a deep depression, and despite the efforts of family and friends to comfort her, she sank deeper and deeper into illness until it eventually claimed her life.

Only a few months following the death of their mother, Shou’s squad suffered heavy casualties during an effort to expand the military’s vision beyond the wall. In the consequent attack, he was crushed beneath a Titan and crippled, though his life was saved by the quick thinking of one of his peers – a medic. Now unfit for action, he was completely and honourably ejected from the military, thankful that his life had been spared. With work dwindling in the area, Clem and her younger brother struggled to find a well paying job, and she was soon left with little choice but to enlist with the military, blatantly refusing to let her brother follow her, even once he was of ‘suitable age’. Determined to make the absolute best of an unfortunate situation, she worked extremely hard, both in her combat and relief roles. She excelled through the ranks to become the sole medic of her particular team, and further tragedy was kept from her family.

When news broke of the second attack and the destruction of her home district, Clem immediately volunteered to lend aid wherever possible. Her family, having lived there all of their lives, were safely relocated to Trost, then further beyond Rose Wall, near Wall Sina, where their uncle and his family live.

Personality: Good natured, kind and reserved, Clem has never been especially outgoing or hyperactive in her life’s pursuits – though this was only until she joined the Survey Corps, where she soon found great enthusiasm in training to become a medic. Extremely loyal and hardworking, Clem knows when to keep her mouth shut, though this does not mean she will not question authority, or even royalty, especially if the lives, or the dignity, of her squad mates are threatened. Clem considers her job vitally important, and will not hesitate to dive into the fray to lend aid to a teammate. She believes that if she is not putting herself in danger every day for her peers, then she has failed as their teammate. Because of this outlook, and her unwavering, daily effort on the battlefield, she has more than earned the respect and trust of her squad mates. Though generally optimistic, or as much as someone in her situation could be, Clem has seen more than her fair share of blood and dismembered body parts. She has ‘failed’ in reviving, healing or mending hers and other teams squad mates, and because of this, she has been known to distance herself emotionally from the new recruits, considering they are more often than not the ones that are wiped out first.

Ability/Combat Skill Set

Battle Skill: 9/10
Agility: 10/10
Strategy: 5/10
Teamwork: 8/10
Medical Knowledge: 10/10

Clem acts as the medic for her team, having worked tirelessly to gain an impressive knowledge of the human anatomy and the most effective means in which to deal with bodily injuries. If the situation calls for it, and it often does, she is also equipped to deal with the psychological and mental trauma that her teammates may suffer. Though she does not apply this outside of the battlefield, such as inside a clinic, it has leant her great aid in inspiring injured or mortified teammates to come to terms with what is happening around them, making it easier for her, and others, to retrieve and extract them from danger. If need be, she also acts as a supply runner when her medical skills aren’t needed - though this does not happen often. As a fighter and user of the 3DMG, her swiftness and quick-thinking is paralleled by only a few, and she can hold her own against a small group of Titans at a time.

Other: N/A

Name: Pia Weiss
Height: 5’7’’
Sex: Female
Age: 16
Rank: Future Student

Appearance

Titan: No

Bio

Though mystery seems to surround her persona, Pia’s origins are humble – having come from a calm, homey life, her world was not one filled with scientific experiments and government intrigue. Her father stayed at home to write memoirs and historical documents, whilst her mother was a member of the Military Police, and despite the faction being notorious for its ‘anything goes’ policy, the woman was anything but a drone. Humble, brave and hardworking, she changed the general perception of her own squad one person at a time, proving not only to Recon Corps just how hardworking they could be, but to her superiors as well, which helped her to excel to a comfortable position on the chain of command. Blessed with the good name of her mother, Pia took on many of her ideals, one of them being her consideration of others, which led to her helping around the city wherever work needed to be done, sometimes bringing in a wage, sometimes not.

She was well loved and encouraged to follow her own pursuits, but not more than her brother, Gar. Her father dotted on them both, but Gar was special, being the only son, and though he was encouraged to find his own way, there was a small amount of pressure on him due to his desire to become part of the Military Police like his mother. He did so, without a hitch, once he successfully completed his training, leading Pia to become enraptured by his tenacity and his position near their mother. Having been extremely close all of their lives, he would often take her sight-seeing or out on the town whenever he was off duty.

When the wall was breached, she was estranged from her brother, whom was off duty at the time with her and her father. They had been visiting a relative in Trost when the town was decimated by Titans, and her father was crushed to death in the ruins of the home. The siblings became reunited briefly, but only for a moment when he threw her down suddenly, into an alcove of rubble, where he was snatched up by a ten-meter and ripped to pieces in front of her. Not long after, Pia signed up for recruitment, aiming to join the Survey Corps should she succeed, and break her family’s small chain of succession into the Military Police.

Personality: Pia is a stranger to those around her, especially to the recruits. Preferring solidarity to the welcoming arms of some, she avoids forming relationships with others as much as possible - making her introverted and an outcast. Seeming to glide through objectives with ease, she still manages to keep her head low to avoid recognition, finding personal fulfilment more important than communal gratitude. Though she is determined to excel, she will not use others to get there, and will not sacrifice herself for the fulfilment of another’s objective. Though she will speak her thoughts, she is not forthcoming with her opinion, nor is she aggressive when voicing it. Open displays of emotion as considered surprising to those lucky enough to witness them, and despite her outward personality, she is full of deeply concealed passion and a great appreciation of nature and the world around her.

Blackbury: City of Supernatural

Musicway said I just meant that it's an already established race in fiction. It's not original - I didn't create it.

Draconilian said @Music I don't think that's what Canon means... lol, just cause it exists in another media doesn't make it canon here. Also I figure the majority of races would not be original.

I didn't mean it was canon here, in this particular universe, I meant that it was canon in fiction written in real life, just like the Grim Reaper or Hellhounds. They're known. Maybe canon was the wrong word, but that was what I meant.

What do you mean universally "canon?"

Blackbury: City of Supernatural

Okay, I'm done. Black Dogs are already a universally ‘canon’ race, I just changed the info I found around a bit to fit how I wanted it to be for the setting. Let me know if anything is written weirdly or if something needs to be changed. I left out some of the history too, which I’d like to use in the IC if the time comes.

Been working on a CS the past few days. It should be up sometime tomorrow.

Covenant Academy - An Urban Fantasy School RP

Eh.. on second thought I think you have enough people.. ^ ^' Wasn't really sure about the whole anime-ish setting, anyway.
