Sign Up Hunters: Grand Apocalypse

[ScreamSin]

((Let?s be clear on something. This is a fun, action RP meant to amuse and get your daily dose of whoop-ass, but I also plan on having a lot of times for characters to develop and interact. If you aren?t up for a lot of battle and conflict along with character interaction, don?t sign up. I expect characters to interact and have their own story lines alongside the main plot. If you can?t deliver, don?t join.
Also, if you go half-daemon, DON'T give me some kind of Inuyasha rip off. I won't even consider your sign up.))

[CENTER][FONT="Century Gothic"][SIZE="4"]----Hunters: Grand Apocalypse----[/SIZE][/FONT][/CENTER]


[SIZE="4"]M[/SIZE]illennia ago, the daemons ruled all of man. Their burning shadow fell across all of Earth. Until the humans rose up to reclaim their world and their souls. Wars ensued, ultimately ending in the daemons glorious defeat. Following the Shadow Lords? fall from power, the humans rebuilt their civilization. The monsters faded into the past, as did the wars between the two races. The champions of the humans died, and faded from memory. Now, centuries later, humans only know of the term daemon as a fairy tale, a myth. If only this were true. The daemons have returned, preying upon the humans in the city of New Vista. But, they do not nearly have the once mighty empire that they used to. Now, reduced to scavengers, the daemons have begun to rely upon the humans themselves to summon them in. Recruiting Acolytes with promises of power and wealth, they are little more then nightmares, not even able to withstand sunlight. Another obstacle has stood between the daemons and their return. A group of vigilantes, known as Hunters, now stalk the night as well. They excel at killing, and have only one purpose - to slay daemons. Wielding blessed weapons, the Hunters strive to maintain the balance of power between daemon and human.

((Basic premise of this RP is that you?re a Hunter, someone trained to fight and kill daemons. You may also join as an Acolyte if your one of them evil types. Hunters wield blessed whereas Acolytes wield cursed weapons and daemonic magic. You can also be a half-daemon (Hunter or Acolyte) and not wield a blessed or cursed weapon. Half-daemons are incredibly strong and fast, and can only belong to the Hunter team, as they?re not particularly liked by Acolytes and true Daemons.))

[B]Name: [/B]Night
[B]Age:[/B] 42
[B]Gender:[/B] Male
[B]Race: [/B]Human
[B]Team: [/B]Hunters
[B]Appearance: [/B]Standing tall at 6?5? and weighing in at 275 lbs of muscle, Night is quite an impressive man. With wild shoulder length hair the color of steel, rugged features covered in scars and creases of age, Night appears to be somewhere around the age of 67. His deep red eyes *a symbol of his title as Night of the Hunters* are sunken and creased from stress and responsibility. His face is set in a permanent scowl and he often has coarse stubble on his chin and throat. The most prominent feature would have to be the large ragged scar tracing from the top left of his forehead down to the right corner of his lips. He has the overall appearance of a man who, at some point, was probably very handsome. However, he seems to merely be a tired old man who?s running out of strength.
[B]Bio: [/B]The leader of the Hunters, he is a direct descendent of one of the heroes from the original wars, though which one is unknown, even to him. His family has protected the world for millennia, but he was the first to start the organization after being overwhelmed during one of his patrols. Recruiting both humans whose lives had been shattered by daemons as well as half-daemons, Night has organized a team of daemon slayers who excel at their job. Night has been fighting for 30 years of his life, having been recruited into the war at the age of 12 by the Night before him. He is steadily losing hope that he will ever be able to put down his sword, and with that realization comes despair. His skills are waning with age, and he grows tired of the burden of his responsibility.
[B]Personality: [/B]Night is a proud and confident soldier, with little in terms of what could be called a ?bedside? manner. Lately, as age and stress are beginning to catch up to him, he finds his reflexes slowing, his prowess waning. As his body weakens, so too does his resolve to keep fighting. Night is finding it harder and harder to continue his war against the daemons, and fears that he will soon slip over the edge and give up.
[B]Weapon: [/B]Giant serrated claymore named Vendetta.

[Drizzt Do'urden]

[B]Name: [/B]Ty

[B]Age:[/B] 26

[B]Gender:[/B] Male

[B]Race: [/B]Human

[B]Team: [/B]Hunters

[B]Appearance: [/B]Ty stands at 6'2 and weighs around 200 lbs, solid but not bulky. He sports a military style haircut that he keeps year round. His most notable feature is his ice blue eyes that seem even lighter due to his dark hair and features.

[B]Bio: [/B]Ty joined Night 2 years ago after his tour of duty in the marines finished, and he had his first encounter with a daemons. He returned from his 4 year tour of duty in the service to find his family slaughtered and one of them waiting for him to arrive. Ty narrowly escaped with his life, and spent the next 2 years hunting that one daemon. 2 years after the incident Ty met Night as they were hunting in the same location. Soon after working with him he joined Night and his "Hunters" still hoping to one day find that daemon.

[B]Personality: [/B]Ty is your characteristic rebel. He usually sports his leather jacket and has a distinct disdain for authority figures of any kind, except when it comes to Night. He will follow that one man into hell and back, and performs any duties he's given to the letter. When he's not with Night, Ty can usually be found at a bar hustling pool or showing off his "game".

[B]Weapon: [/B]Ty's main weapon is his Katana "Vanguard", he also supports a mini arsenal of silver throwing knives and a flask containing either Jack Daniels, or Holy Water depending on the day.

[B]Name:[/B] Senka Gunne
[B]Age:[/B] 19
[B]Gender:[/B] Female
[B]Race:[/B] Human
[B]Team:[/B] Acolyte
[B]Appearance:[/B] The only portrait that shows the fierceness of Senka's eyes ever found. The artist is unknown.

A portrait showing more of Senka's features
[URL="http://i43.tinypic.com/w0tlk7.jpg"]Portrait of Senka as a child[/URL]
The only difference in her appearance today is various scars and strange mythic tattoos on various parts of her body.
[B]Bio:[/B] Senka started as an acolyte from childhood. She was given the choice at a young age to sacrifice her mother and father in order to summon a demon, or to not summon one at all. She lost her parents that day. This started her life as an acolyte, and she never looked back.

She is a part of a small division in the acolytes, known only as the Order of the Somber Eye. They all practice cannibalism, limb sacrifice. (Sacrificing a limb to summon a lesser demon) and other unknown practices. The members are all known for wearing a white bandana with a single, half-closed eye on the front.

Now Senka goes around, feeding on victims and performing sacrifices with other acolytes. However, one secret mission has consumed the rest of her life. And that is to find something that she lost a very long time ago. What she is looking for though, and how she lost it, Senka has never revealed to anyone. For now, unaided by anyone, her search continues.
[B]Personality:[/B] When not in one of her 'frenzies' (When hungry for human flesh, or just caught up in the heat of battle, Senka goes into what most people call a demon frenzy. There is nothing magical involved, she just seems to have the fierceness of a demon at these times,) Senka is a sly and crafty girl. However, she also has a very short temper and when in such a temper, can be very paranoid. She also shares qualities with some of the greatest acolytes who have ever lived. Self-sacrificing, determined, cruel, and strong in battle.
[B]Weapons:[/B] A long, cursed Khopesh. Used for rituals. And what Senka calls the Demon's Jaw. Fangs fashioned in the style of a demon that fit over the wearer's jaw. Then, with the help of special straps, it opens and closes when the wearer of this weapon opens and closes his or her mouth. Senka uses this for close attacks or for her meals.
[B]Magic:[/B] Demon summon - A spell almost all acolytes have access to. It allows Senka to summon a demon after making some sort of sacrifice.

Blood Letting - A spell that is unique to Senka. When injured, she can shoot out an enormous amount of blood from the wound to blind her opponent. However, this of course leaves her a bit weak. So it is really more of a last resort so she can make her escape or the killing blow.

((Naturally if there are any red flags please let me know. Here's the bare bone skeleton, and wall of text))

[B]Name:[/B] Benoit Noire
[B]Age: [/B]49
[B]Gender:[/B] Male
[B]Race:[/B] Human
[B]Team:[/B] Acolyte
[B]Appearance:[/B] Being 6?3 inches in stature and carrying 250lbs of muscle bulk, Benoit is built like a horse. Broad at the shoulders hold his burly arms while his narrow hips are supported by his solid legs; it was as if he was meant to carry the weight of sin on his back. His face is sculpted with bony cheeks, a prominent chin, and a long beak-like nose. An enticing gold ring fits around his iris?s and blends into his eyes emerald color. Like a prideful lion?s man, Benoit sports brilliant copper hair that flows down his breast and shoulder blades. A rugged and curly handlebar moustache sits on his upper lip, as if giving its own charming but dastardly smile. Benoit?s body is coated by his ivory skin that commonly glistens with sweat and flushes red with a drunken stupor.

[B]Bio:[/B] While perfectly open to sharing his personal experiences no matter how macabre it might be, Benoit is very bottled-up about his background. What is implied though is that he took part in some gruesome practices even as a boy. It is noted that Benoit?s affiliation with daemons initiated at young adulthood, during a solitary exercise of Zui Quan, which at the time Benoit practiced regularly for hope of self enlightenment. On a cold winter night, a daemon manifested into the form of young lady, sought him out in a drunken stupor in attempts to seduce him to it?s cause. Benoit didn?t even let the daemon finish it?s proposal, and immediately gave himself into the acolyte cult while requesting almost nothing in return. After this exchange Benoit had become very philosophical and social; associating with a wide variety of social groups. Obviously his work has generally lead to ultimately beneficial outcomes for the acolytes, but Benoit remains an almost enigmatic individual among them.

[B]Personality:[/B] Benoit is a generally charming figure wielding a lot of panache, however, his tendency to drown himself in earthly pleasures (especially alcohol) often leaves him a whimsical, but awkward fellow. Endarkened on the concept of morality, believing it to be a universal impossibility, often allows him to commit insane acts of malevolence. Fascination with the concept has lead him to come to be utterly obsessed with the idea of damnation, which he expects to be his fate, and now even awaits. Upon the other side of the spectrum, Benoit readily demonstrates acts of compassion to others, including his enemies. He even gives insight that he may in fact have some benevolent motives in his obscure schemes.

[B]Weapons:[/B] *[COLOR="purple"][I]Patta[/I]-[/COLOR] holding a 44? inch blade that has been enchanted with a curse. *[COLOR="Purple"][I]Small sword[/I]- [/COLOR]generally used as a main-gauche, however, it is also used insmall or narrow spaces to avoid his cumbersome patta.

[B]Magic:[/B] [COLOR="purple"]*[I]Stomach of the inebriated devil[/I]- [/COLOR]By absorbing unholy energy into his body, Benoit had enhanced himself with a lasting magical effect that feeds off his nourishment. When Benoit consumes potent alcohol it fortifies his body. When intoxicated Benoit obtains great stamina thus making him pain-tolerant, stable, and invigorated. As Benoit sobers these effects diminish.

[COLOR="purple"]*[I]Nectar of Noire[/I]-[/COLOR] Benoit is able to expel the corrupted alcohol within his body (nice way of saying vomit). When this occurs the substance becomes an almost gelatinous fluid, which emit?s a florescent red color, and gives off a peculiar smell. Daemons find this jelly very attractive, and lessers in the area tend to flock to it. If this substance is consumed it amplifies the unholy energy that brews inside daemons, and thus makes their abilities more potent.

[COLOR="Purple"]*[I]Dance of the Black Ribbon[/I]- [/COLOR]Channeling the energy within him allows Benoit to conjure up to six ribbon like constructs of unholy energy that float around his person. Despite what the name suggests the colors of these ribbons shift regularly. The ribbons are very dense while holding great strength and flexibility, and are able to grab and throw heavy objects. Being made of powerful energy they are painful to the touch; even to daemons and Benoit himself. These ribbons move to Benoit?s whim, but it requires a modest amount of concentration. Benoit can wrap these ribbons around himself to protect himself from attacks or enable him to climb structures, however, he is still subject to the pain it produces and prolonged exposure can even harm him.

[B]Name[/B]: Skylar (Sky) Cross

[B]Age[/B]: 23

[B]Gender[/B]: Female

[B]Race[/B]: Human

[B]Team[/B]: Hunter

[B]Appearance[/B]: [URL="http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk39/hnanimegrl88/blue%20hair%20girls/blue-1.jpg"]http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk39/hnanimegrl88/blue%20hair%20girls/blue-1.jpg[/URL]

[B]Bio[/B]: Abandoned by her mother, Skylar was taken in by a group of monks when she was five. As she grew, they taught her their ways of love and peace, also teaching her how to fight, but only to use her skills when it was necessary. It was a very peaceful time, filled with joy and silence. This was forever changed, however, when a horde of daemons attacked the monastery and killed many of the monks. She barely survived the attack, and insisted on finding the daemons herself. The monks refused to let her, pleading that violence is forbidden, and they would be judged in time.Deciding that the monks were right, she stayed. Although, the hatred for the demons only grew stronger with time.

On her sixteenth birthday, the monks gave her a wonderful gift, the Shakujo. This weapon was given to them by a powerful priest centuries ago, and was kept a secret. After receiving the gift, she spent the next two years training. Once she turned 18, she left the monastery and started her hunt for the horde.

Sky became quite proficient at "purifying" over the next couple years, even gaining the interest of an elder hunter named Night. After meeting him during a battle, she decided to join his cause.

[B]Personality[/B]: Sky is a very gentle soul, but she isn't afraid of a fight if need be. Her views of the world are quite black and white.When she sets herself to something, she is very determined and stubborn. She believes in destroying the "impure" and protecting the pure at heart. She is also overly optimistic and enthusiastic most of the time.

[B]Weapons[/B]: A Shakujo staff, and the "Purifier"-- A wooden long-bow carved from the "tree of life". This bow will give any arrow the power to purify a daemons soul...killing them, and renders a half-breeds demonic power inadequate during battle.

[B]Name:[/B] Cal Vanhorn

[B]Age:[/B] 75

[B]Gender:[/B] Male

[B]Race:[/B] Half Daemon

[B]Team:[/B] Hunter

[B]Appearance:[/B] [URL="http://s136.photobucket.com/albums/q196/griff189/?action=view¤t=ys6007.jpg"]http://s136.photobucket.com/albums/q196/griff189/?action=view¤t=ys6007.jpg[/URL]

[B]Bio:[/B] Cal is an orphan, by coice, nothing more. when he was younger, he saw many normal humans being killed by the daemons, just because. this always sat strangely with him and he never understood why. He was told a few years later that it was because he was half human and half daemon.
This of course suprised the hell out of him. He wasn't sure of what he could do. So, he did the only thing that he thought of oat the time. He left the group of daemons that he was with at the time. He just wanted to be left alone. He didn't want to have to deal with all the killing, so he just left.
A few years after that, him being nearly 60 years old he came accross a small village. he slolwy started to settle there, trying to live a normal life. It was working, for the most part until his old daemon clan came looking for him. They found him alright, and because of how he was living, as a normal human, his clan slaughtered the entire village.
As Cal walked through the streets, something inside of him snapped. His eyes changed from their original colour of brown to yellow. A broken smile crossed his lips and he bagan to kill of all the daemons that were around. They never saw it coming, he was able to kill all of them.
As he carved the last one's heart out of its chest, someone walked behind Cal and asked him a simple question. If he would help eradicate the rest of the daemon populous. Cal smiled and agreed. For the last 15 years, Cal has been hunting down anything that could have any resemblence to a daemon just for the chance to make it up to the village that was slaughtered because of him.

[B]Personality:[/B] Cal is cold. He could care less for anyone elses opinioin, no matter who they might be to him. All he really wants is revenge. He hates the fact that he wasn't able to stop the killing of everyone that he learned to care about. Due to the lack of respect of himself, he hates being teamed up with others. He is afraid of the responsibility to have to look out for them if he time gets rough, so he does come off as a little cold.
Cal isn't very good when people start to order him around. He likes people, but the thought that they might die from his lack of respect for himself almost causes him to go into withdrawls. He will listen to others if he feels that the the reasoning behind it is just.

[B]Weapons:[/B] His main weapon in the one in the pick. Other than that, he is able to pull small blades out from his body. This taxes him however, and he is only able to pull out three until he colapses from exhaustion.

There you go. If there is any problems, let me know.

[B]Bio: [/B]Once a cheerful child, she was kidnapped by Acolytes at age 10. They were trying to see if they could "make" their own demon using a human child as the body. The experimentation resulted in her becoming a half-demon. The result displeased the Acolytes, so they dropped her out into an area full of demons. They took care of her only to pass on their strength before they would eventually be killed. 5 years later, she met up with the hunters and went with them only to get her revenge on the one who did the things to her.

[SIZE="1"][COLOR="DarkRed"][B]Name[/B]: Rasic Steel
[B]Age[/B]: 68
[B]Gender[/B]: Male
[B]Race[/B]: Half Daemon
[B]Team[/B]: Hunter
[B]Appearance[/B]: (Picture coming soon) Rasic is roughly 6'1, slightly tan and has a medium build. He isn't really that handsome, seeing as how half of his head was splashed with a hot liquid substance when he was younger. He wears a large bandage to cover this burn up. Usually wears muted colored clothing, bulky as well to disguise his appearance. The hair he does have on his head is dark brown, sticking out in every direction despite it's owner combing it every day, odd little horns poking out ever so slightly above his scalp make this difficult. Strange, elongated fingers and nails give the impression that his hands are clawed, which is why he wears thick gloves a lot of the time, in order to avoid stares.
[B]Bio[/B]: When he was younger, Rasic felt like he had no purpose in life. He couldn't really hold down a job due to his.....deformities. Most of the time he did odd jobs for people who didn't mind a quiet, yet cheerful freak moving some heavy packages or doing dangerous work. One day however, a large daemon appeared near the docks that he was working at, and started destroying ships and warehouses. Rasic thought it was the end then, as heavy cargo crashed to the ground around him, some barely missing him. Out of seemingly nowhere, several daemon killers with weapons appeared, driving the terror back before finishing it off. Quite curious, he approached these people to find that they belonged to a group called 'Hunters'. People who protected the ordinary citizen and fought off daemons? He vehemently demanded they let him join, and after much convincing was allowed to become a Hunter.
[B]Personality[/B]: Despite growing up without many friends, Rasic has managed to keep a good outlook on life. He constantly tries to cheer up those around him, much to the chagrin of those who have little to no sense of humor. He feels that almost everyone has some good in them, and playing a practical joke on a fellow half daemon WON'T get you killed.
[B]Weapons[/B]: An abnormally long knife that glows slightly in dim light. Second weapon is his long clawed hands, used specifically for disarming enemies.[/COLOR][/SIZE]
