Sign Up 101 Days to Die [M-LV, S possible]

[Neko]

Another day, another demise. The news had long since ceased to surprise people. Mysterious deaths all over town, with not even a single trace of a murder weapon, nor, in fact, any trace of a murderer. After the first few weeks, the weary population of the city of Utoma began to accept this strange problem. The media dropped it, the church fanatics stopped seeing significance in it, even the families of the unfortunate victims weren't taking the losses as harshly as they had been. But now, something's beginning to change. At first the deaths seemed completely random, the crime scenes not terribly violent. Something new is happening, though. Each night, the scene is becoming more and more grotesque, the method of the kill more and more macabre, more brutal. And there is another thing, too. Near each body, perhaps within fifty or so yards, a sign is being written in the victims' blood: a number. What does the number mean? Nobody knows for certain. It started at one-hundred-twenty. And each night, each death, the number is slowly counting downward, a sadistic timer...but to what? The people were so perplexed they eventually chalked it up to coordinated suicide, people picking up on a death 'trend' as a way to take their own life. How terribly wrong they were... A youthful female figure peered out cautiously into the graveyard from the wind-rattled tree, scoping out her prey; a young man, perhaps in his early twenties, coming to pay his respects to some lost relative. And who is going to be mourning for you, I wonder? she thought to herself, her luminous crimson eyes glinting eerily in the glorious moonlight. In the time one might blink, the girl was on the ground, soundlessly closing in on the man as he knelt before a grave. With a heart-piercing scream, the man looked on in horror as a razor-sharp claw tore clear through his body. The girl smirked as the man slumped over on the gravestone in front of her. Collecting some of the leaking blood on her hand, she walked over to a burial tomb, and, drawing her fingers quickly across the hard marble of the door, she left her mark. And then she was gone. Just like that, no movement, just gone. But the crimson mark remained on the doorway, glimmering in the moonlight. One-hundred-one.

Okay, here's the deal. Someone's going around killing people at random. A few people have begun to band together to solve the mysterious deaths once and for all. Some may be particularly devoted investigators, some might be eager news reporters, some may even be friends or family of the victims, whatever. The point is, someone's gotta do something before anything really bad happens. And, though the local populace may not be aware of it, they've got help from...higher forces. Angels have been sent down to investigate the situation, searching invisibly for the killer, whom they believe might be more than just human itself. A demon. The demons, as well, have taken note of this situation, though they aren't as concerned with the matter. If anything, most of them enjoy the torment that the humans go through when their 'number' is up. But some demons believe that it could end up instigating a new war between all three worlds, a concern that, though they may not be aware, the angels share. So the choice is yours, you can be a human, an angel, or a demon. But remember to choose your allegiances wisely. Because in this city, even your most trusted allies can be enemies. Name: (fairly obvious) Age: (Demons and angels tend to, but don't necessarily have to have higher ages than humans) Race: (Human, Demon, Angel) Sub-Race: (Various sub-groupings among humans, demons and angels) Appearance: (You should know the drill) Weapon of Choice: (Please limit yourself to two or three, I may make exceptions) Bio: (A paragraph. A page. Whatever.) I'd just like to warn you all that I'm gonna be a bit tougher letting people in this time. I've learned from past mistakes...

[Neko]

Name: Mieruru Anaka Age: 15 Race: Demon Sub-race: Succubus Appearance: See Attachment. Weapon of Choice: A scythe made of pure energy, taking form as a black mass of darkness, which she can summon up at will. Bio: Mieruru led on her life, never aware of her demonic nature, the dark forces subtly taking root in her existence. Harassed and generally mistreated by her parents at home, darkness planted itself in the depths of her soul. As the years of suffering went on, the darkness within her slowly grew into a completely alternate personality, a more evil form of Mieruru. This was when she first realized her demonic tendencies. One night, during a particularly harsh beating from her parents, this other Mieruru emerged in a wave of energy. This New Mieruru, enraged and unable to cope with being physically pained by another being, summoned a dark scythe - the embodiment of death - and retaliated, flaying everyone the old Mieruru had known and loved. When Mieruru learned of this alternate form, she realized that she was indeed a succubus, the demon embodiment of lust and temptation. She slowly learned to use these dark powers to manipulate others. After all, what warm-blooded male can resist the charm of a succubus? She would convince people to borrow her ridiculous sums of money in return for empty promises, money she used to get by on the streets of this city, Utoma. These killings with the numbers, Mieruru is sure means something, her darker half knows it, but she can't drive the curiosity of what it could be out of her head. So she travels by night, searching for this elusive killer to, if for no other reason, clear up the mystery surrounding the murderings.

[Kiba_the_Chosen]

[FONT=Verdana][COLOR=DarkRed]Why hello Neko. I would like to join your story for my own purpose. You can now judge my writing skill. Please allow me to present to you my sign up.

Name: Tetra

Age: 117 (pretty young)

Race: Demon

Sub-Race: Shadowmancer

Appearance: Tetra walks amongst the living so she would have to disguise herself. Her demon form will be revealed later. It is quite interesting. Now she has a small medium build and wears a black dress. She has brown hair with some small highlights. Her eyes are black or a deep blue depending on what she is doing at the moment. Finally she wears a small hat sometimes when walking in spring. Otherwise she let?s her hair fall to her shoulder blades. Finally she hides an invisible sheath for a sword. Just so it won?t be seen by anyone.

Weapon of Choice: As I said she hides a Katana. She named is Zeimos. She also has a small wire that is practically invisible to the naked eye.

Bio: Awhile ago Tetra discovered happenings of things in the human world. Crossing to it she had seen murders by the paranormal, as the humans call it. The incidents she saw got gruesome and all the more mysterious. Trails of blood left around the city. Utoma is where she grew up not knowing about her demon state but knew there was something compelling her to kill every time she saw these murders. People had marks in their back or had their head hanging from a pole near the rest of their body. Each time she saw the body she felt a urge to kill in her. It is natural for her to feel this way but she doesn?t know it so shhhhh. She looks for clues on who done it each murder case but she can?t find any evidence. She was blocked by the police every time she tried to enter a building. So in a smart kind of?uhhhh?intuition she joined the police. She has waited for her chance to fully investigate a crime scene.
Her day finally came when there was a murder in a warehouse. The body limbs were strewn to all corners and not a speck of evidence who did so. But she did find something odd. There was a little number by each of the coming bodies. She has stayed in the police squad until the number had gotten to 103. Then she started to figure things out on her own. Who knows what is to come next for her.

Heh, Kiba...I kinda figured you'd want in on this one. Well, there seems to be some confusion as to what 'sub-race' means, so I'll go ahead and clear that up. Sub-races are, as I have previously mentioned, the various subgroupings among humans, demons, and angels. For humans, basically this is your occupation. 'Jobs' would be the reference to your sub-grouping. Also realize that humans in this story can have magically-based occupations. For angels, there are several different types, mainly associated with their unique abilities. I'll list a couple examples. Lesser Angel: One who has just become one of the holy army. This title doesn't necessarily imply weakness, it just shows that said angel is new among the holy ranks. Spiritcaster: An angel that focuses their spiritual power to harness divine magics as their weapon to combat foes. Aurablade: Quite the contrary to a Spiritcaster, Aurablades focus more on physical attacks with their superior skills with a blade. They usually enchant their weapons to imbue them with powers far beyond a simple piece of metal. Archangel: One who is advanced in both magical prowess and physical combat skill is referred to as an Archangel. These types are more often than not more powerful than other Angels because of their skills, both physical and arcane. Demons are slightly less differentiated between classes, but have far more sub-groupings than both angels and humans. I won't list off their respective abilities, as I expect most people are familiar with them, but here are some examples: Vampire Succubus Incubus Imp Devil Unborn Shadowmancer Just two more quick things. I'm not allowing any more Succubi, as my character already has that position filled. Get creative, pick something else. If you feel like it, make up your own sub-race and give a breif description of it. And Kiba, you're gonna have to alter your bio. You can't be the killer, so no painting numbers on the wall. The real murderer will be revealed in the story, if it gets out of the Adventure Inn. Hope this helps in some way, guys!

She has razor-sharp fangs and can dish out deadly blows. Her eyes glow white when she becomes angry. She has a slender figure and her feet are fitted with black boots.

Weapon: Her powers. Besides her fangs and claws she can jump 10 stories effortlessly. She has a secret power also, she can shoot white plasmic- blasts from her, but this tehnique requires a lot of energy and she rarely uses it. She fights with her fists as well.

Bio: Long ago she was born, a small demon whos parents shortly forsakened her. She roamed the planet alone, killing and stealing for what she wanted. She had no idea who she was. She only knew she was a demon and she hated everyone. She was ridiculed and mocked when she went into society. So she remained in a dense, remote forest for most of her adolesence. One day she met a man walking alone in the forest she had named her own. This man took her for a mortal (by now she had learned to control all her powers.) He took her in and kept her as his daughter. One day she let go her diguise as human and took a short walk. The man came after her and found her. In a blind fit of rage she almost took his life.
Now that her dark side is to it's fullest power she wishes only to live a normal life. So she ends up in Utoma, trying to forget her demon-side. But with the strange happenings and gorey murders the power within her becomes relentless and enraged.

[alchemist2120]

this kinda looks like fun....

Name: Xion

Age:821(that seems about right. right?)

Race: Demon

Subrace: Unborn

Appearance: see below Its him in human and in demon form

Weapons: Besides the blades on his for-arms and his back, nothing

Bio: Xion doesnt remember when he was born, but he feels that he was more placed here to guide. He has had a feeling, from when he was young, that if there is a human that is not on the path to hell, that he is to guide them. He tries not to kill but to "convince" a human to go in the direction from which he was born.

When he got older, he learned how to fully control his demonic power, which in turn made him want to kill. He started slaying everyone he saw. After about two years of this he regained his humanity when he saw a young boy scared to death. Not until later did he realize that the boy that he didnt kill was a half demon. He bagan to raise the boy, which in turn he named Hugo. Hugo soon became his lifetime bodyguard. Now he bagan fighting back on the impulse of killing. He is still quick to kill but now it will take longer for the urge to come out.

Now that he looks to be about twenty two or so, he started to hear things about random murders. He knew that it wasnt him, and that he had a strong feeling to go and find out who it is. Even though he has no plans on stopping them. His main feeling on the matter is that he wants to join him but more so, be the one that does even more.

[Neko]

Very nice job, everyone! You're all in so far. But there seem to be a lot of demons in this story, so I'm closing down the demon sign-ups. If you want to sign up as a demon, you'll have to PM me with the sign up sheet to be judged before you can get in. Let's see some more Angels and Humans!

[Synister]

Boy people must love to be evil creatures...

[Kieko]

[i][font=comicsansms]
Name: Mina

Age: 249 (appears about twenty one, age she died at)

Race: Angel

Sub-Race: Aurablade

Appearance: [url=http://www.psycko-hentai.de/grafix/gallery/bg39/012a.jpg]Angel:[/url][url=http://server2.uploadit.org/files/ForgottenChild-char.JPG]Human.[/url]

Weapon of Choice: An sword that seems as ordinary as they come, but is also as strong as they come.

Bio: Mina doesn?t really remember much about her past, nor does she really care to. She had wonderful parents, two sisters and one brother. She went to a nice school in a nice community and played an assortment of sports with her brother in her spare time. She often to the liberty of beating him in the games.

When Mina was about fifteen, however, everything seemed to go downhill. Her younger sister became sick and, after months of medical treatment and expenses, she died. She didn?t die alone though; her other sister had also caught the disease and died a short while after her. When Mina?s mother was bed ridden with the same disease, the doctor was alarmed. Fearing the family may infect the whole town, the townspeople helped the doctor in boarding up their windows and bolting their doors shut. On occasion, they would open a door a slight crack and throw in some bread which Mina and her father ate. Mina?s brother spent all of his time sitting in the corner of the hut, staring into space. He would not eat and so died shortly of starvation.

After three years in the prison, Mina?s father began to go insane. The dead bodies of his family strewn about on the floor was too much for him to handle looking at day after day. He began talking to his wife, then the baby sister who died first, then all of them. He also started beating himself up, arguing to himself. It pained Mina to see the man she thought could not be broken before her in pieces. He eventually beat himself to death by ramming his head into the floor with all his might. Mina spent another year alone in that hut, looking at the rotting corpses of her family, she became sick, as she had been getting sick since her sister?s corpse began to rot. But this time the sickness wasn?t so much a disease as a broken heart.

She started pounding on the walls, but no one answered. She began yelling out of cracks in the wood, but no one answered. She finally began kicking the door until it fell down. This took over a month since there were rocks piled up outside it. When she came out, she saw that there were bodies everywhere. They had all caught the disease and died from it. The people who hadn?t gotten sick had left and, hearing moans, Mina suspected they left a few people who weren?t dead yet. She ran and ran away from this place. She didn?t know to where and she didn?t care, she just ran to keep from crying; big girls don?t cry. She struggled to get by after that, living from town to town, leaving before anyone recognized she could be carrying the disease. Alone after another two years, she was killed by demons, but she welcomed death, she knew it was better. Her family is proud of her, being an angel sent to help the city on earth, and she wouldn?t have it any other way.[/i][/font]

Very nice, Kieko. You're in. So is everyone else, so here's the deal. This adventure goes up on Friday morning, with or without anyone else signed up. I think two angels and three demons should be fair enough for now...(in a past adventure I did, it eventually came down to eight angels against two demons...that didn't work out too well) Oh, and sorry about this huge blank space right here, something funky happened to my coding. Name Race (Subrace) Character Name Lord Revan Angel (Archangel) Michael Neko Demon (Succubus) Mieruru Anaka Kiba_the_Chosen Demon (Shadowmancer) Tetra elementalshadow Demon (Vampire) Tearanie alchemist2120 Demon (Unborn) Xion Kieko Angel (Aurablade) Mina Alright, now we've just got one thing left to clear up: The timeline. What era does this adventure take place in? I was actually going for a kind of slightly futuristic setting, but if anyone has any objections, the subject is open for debate.

[Kiba_the_Chosen]

I have no objections but only one thing to keep in mind. Not tooooo futuristic. I?m not going to like a flying car. Normal everyday futuristic but with a load of kick [SPOILER]you know[/SPOILER] Gadgets.

[alchemist2120]

[Neko]

Okay, you're both in too, nice job! And as for the time period, yeah, I wasn't thinking like Star Wars futuristic. Just, you know, a kind of neo-modern city. Maybe...2040? You know, advances in medical sciences, figured out a cure for cancer and whatnot. I was just throwing that on the board to make sure nobody went blundering in with a medievil person with some stone-aged weapon. ^.^ I'll have an edit in this post with the updated "in" list, this time hopefully with no huge blank space...

[Sir Gawain]

Name: Robert Hayes
Race: Human
Sub-Race (Job): Detecitve
Age: 31

Weapons: 1 belt holsetered pistol (always) and 1 shouldered mounted shotgun (when in field)

Appearance: Rob is six, four, with red hair, and green eyes. As is his profession, he constantly wears a white shirt tucked into his pants and fastened with a belt. He has Armani loafers on his feet, and socks of course. Also wears a light jacket and a ten-gallon (know as 'cowboy') hat.

Bio:

Robert Hayes was born and raised in a scenic desert town, but always was interested in small things happening in the world. He was quickly in love with the adventures of Sherlock Holmes, and ever since has tried to be a detective, a career put to the test in his hometown.

Rob always wears a cowboy hat even with his detective uniform, which most people don't understand. Rob doesn't really understand it himself, but the hat seems to match his personality he says.

Although he never did catch a criminal in his time being a detective, he always managed to help the phorensics teams recreate the scene of the crime and put the perp behind bars. As of late, he's taken it upon himself to find out who the real killers are in the little town. So far he's come up with no leads, but he's determined that he'll either solve the mystery, or die trying. He believes that something beyond him is going on, and ready to receive whatever help might come his way.

Arnold is a strong man with a kind hart and a good personality. He is liked by most people in town.
When the murders began Arnold was very conserned, and when people stopped taking notice he was even more conserned. He didn't like what was happening to the town he loved to protect.
