Sign Up Innocence Lost

[Inuyasha Fandom]

His work was done here, though he didn't feel a sense of being liberated, nor a sense of being blessed. There was more to do, as was his task here in the human realm. He and his allies were different than their bretheren, they were the ones protecting the truely innocent in this bloody war. On stepping outside, three more people greeted him, their own angelic appearences disguised as that of humans. The boy's black wings seemed to let off a dark energy, before they floated away as individual feathers. Their expressions were the same as his, they knew there were many other souls trapped like these had been, and needing to be found and released. Hoping on a motorcycle behind one of the others, they sped off. Following closely behind them were the other two angels. The boy gazed on into the sunset, the sunlight glinting upon his shades. And yet, the man before him on the motorcycle wasn't an angel at all like him, though still serving the same purpose as the boy. A demon who knew the same calling and duties. The line between heaven and hell blurred even more, ever more.
---------------------------
In this tale, not every hero is pure. Not every angel is good, and not every demon is evil. Both exist on both sides of the war between these two great powers, while it seems their leaders turn blind eyes to the feuding between their charges. Demonic and divine...When the heavens act a mirror image to hell, how do you tell the difference?

We are those in the middle, destroying those who make the humans suffer, whether they be angelic, demonic, or once human in origin. We are the protectors of the humans. We are angels, and we are demons, wings sullied by what must be done. Our appearences in our true forms differ as widely as where we come from, though we are united in our cause. That which goes bump in the night isn't always evil.

As for our abilities, in either form we are in we have far more superior strength, agility, and speed than humans. Your muscles might be bulky enough to squash televisions, though there might be someone who looks like a twig that hurls tanks around like toys. Appearences can be deceiving.

There are several major enemies, general things, and allies, for us to face or contend with as a situation calls for them. Here is a list:

The Shikabane: There is meaning in an individual's death. Death is our final curtain call, our eternal peace with the world. But there are those who can't accept this and because of intense regrets and obsessions they had at the moment of death, they rise again as animated corpses with a human conciousness. But, this is extremely rare.These beings are called Shikabane. Almost always, these Shikabane begin to harbor feelings of hatred for the living, and so begin to use powers stemming from their obbsessions and the means of their death, called Curses, upon those still living, mercilessly murdering humans that cross their paths. These beings simply aren't human anymore, and take it out on the living. That is where the Shikabane Royals come into play in this deadly game of chess. They kill their own kind, in order to gain access to heaven, or peace, or something else entirely. No one is quite sure except for those whom Shikabane Royals bond with. This bond allows these particular undead to fight in human form, and to retain who they were in life. There is only a short time to forge this bond, so there must be a normal bond between the deceased and the Shikabane previously before death. If such a bond between the two becomes broken, or the bonded mortal slain, there are only two options left to a Shikabane Royal. One is to die, which is what usually happens, or they too become normal shikabane, and will normally begin to act just as shikabane typically do eventually. It is preferable to die, rather than become a true monster. Both the Shikabane and the Royals seem to be created far more often when angels or demons are near, though not nessessarily involved. This number increases dramatically the more there are in a given area. However, it is the Shikabane who are the only creatures who do not necessarily appear similar in appearence when in an alternate form. Shikabane have been known to take on other forms as well, depending on how they died. Shikabane Royals however only have one form. No matter which of the two are encountered, they all smell stale. There is only one way to kill a shikabane. You have to destroy its brain.

The Angels: Heaven's mercenaries, armies, spys, assassins, and a multitude of other things. All manners of creatures comprise the forces of Heaven. Many, many lower ranked angels are little different in appearence than the same ranked demons, other than color and manner of clothing. Rumor has it these are more or less the angelic or demonic forms of various animals, and leading to this is their bestial movements and inteligence. Higher ranking angels have a human form, and are similar in appearence to their angelic forms. These angels truely have the sentiment of humans, though not all are the compassionate visions of typical theological angels. Just like humans, some have hearts consumed by evil, and perpetuate the war they have always known since the dawn of mankind against the forces of the demons. At this particular moment, the angels are more concerned with how long this bloody stalemate has lasted, and seek a way to decimate the forces of hell once and for all, for better or worse.

The Demons: Theology depicts them as vile, evil creatures, all under the command of the fallen angel Lucifer, who perpetually wages war upon the heavens. In truth, Demons come in all shapes and sizes, and are ranked almost identically to the angels, the lowest being bestial in form. Higher ranked demons have human intelligence, and their hearts can be just as pure or corrupt as any creature, mortal or not. As are the Angels, so too are the Demons hellbent on destroying their eternal foes. However, not even they wish to remember just how this war started, they simply care about winning. It is rather disturbing just how much alike demons and angels act, especially in the concern of innocent bystanders, such as the humans and nearby wildlife. They often give neither pity nor quarter when it comes to battling angels, though in turn the Angels do the same.

Will you join me in the hunt?

Okay, here's the sign up sheet. Feel free to be as creative as you want, though I want a lot of details.


Remember though, that even our second forms are humanoid, and our facial features and muscle structure don't differ that much between the two, unless you're a shikabane. All of us also have the ability to partially transform from human to our other forms.


Name:


Age: (if you had a mortal death, include it in with the overall age of your character.


Race: (angel, demon, or Shikabane)


Human Appearence:( Typically, we resemble who we once were in our mortal lives, though perhaps a more idealized version.)


Second Form Appearence:


Personality: (self explanitory)


Weapons: (be reasonable, please?)


Powers: (what kind of abilities do you have that aren't exactly normal? Do you weild the powers of water or ice? Or do you control the air? Perhaps conjuring fire is right up your alley...)


History: (be creative. Were you human once? Or were you born the creature you are? What have you done in your life until now? Remember, Shikabane were always once human.)


Let's get this party started Edited December 11, 2010 by Inuyasha Fandom

[Akieen Cloud]

[font="Comic Sans MS"][color="#000080"]Name: Tsukiko: Prefers Tsuki (Moon Child)

Age: 214


Race: Angel


Human Appearance: [url="http://i476.photobucket.com/albums/rr125/Sango_Serena/My%20Characters/PurpleSilverAngel.jpg"]Tuskiko[/url]
she usually wears black bell bottom jeans and a blood red tank top that is decorated with black buckles and chains, her eyes constantly hidden behind dark sunglasses to hide the glowing yellow color of them, black combat boots, black biker gloves, and a leather trench coat finish her clothing. She keeps a pack of cigarettes in her back pocket and black zippo lighter with a ting tang on it in her front pocket. An I-pod hidden in the other back pocket that blares rock music almost none stop through the red nub headphones lodged in her ears which are slightly pointed. Her sparse amount of jewelry is all silver, a small cross around her neck, a charm bracelet adorned with small fangs, claws and wolf charms, and a simple band on her right middle finger. She rarely smiles so she won't expose her canines while in her human appearance.

Second Form Appearance: [url="http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs48/f/2009/167/f/6/f66f2863ea97b9966905dda73a9d0909.jpg"]Tsuki[/url]
She also has white wings in this form.

Personality: Even though she doesn't smile much due to her fangs she is an upbeat woman, she enjoys having fun and laughing with the others but most of the time she remains quiet unless she feels it necessary to put in her opinion. While in the privacy of the indoors with her companions she is talkative and out going, but only because she has no worries about giving away what they really are.


Weapons: She wields[url="http://spetsnazarmysurplus.com/online_store/images/2%20throwers.JPG"]Daggers[/url] that are clipped to the back belt loop of her jeans and hidden under her trench coat and can either be thrown or used for hand to hand fighting. As well as keeping a [url="http://www.knifeworks.com/images/products/detail/manbk1.jpg"]Boot Dagger[/url] in each of her boots for quick access if needed.


Powers: She has the knowledge over ice, able to manipulate it in whatever way she wishes although she hasn't quite mastered it and it sometimes ends up backfiring on her.

History: Tsukiko was born into the Moon Clan, the guardians of the moon cycles and night; her clan was well known for their beauty for they were all born with the same pure white coats and prowess over the snow and ice, the only way to tell the difference between them was the thread of beads they all wore from their fur. Each had a different and unique combination of colors. Tsukiko's parents named her such due to the fact that she was born on the full moon, her name meaning Moon Child. She was hailed throughout the pack as the most beautiful to ever grace the Moon Clan in centuries, her twin brother was another story. Born with pure black fur and steely blue eyes the clan shunned him; believing him to be a bad omen to bring suffering to the clan. As years passed her brother and her self trained to become powerful warriors of the clan, Tsuki was praised while her brother scolded; she pitied him, sympathized with him and gave him all the love she could possibly give but even than it was not enough. On her 24th winter Tsuki witnessed her brother's rage as the clan's cruelty won out in the end over her love for him, going into a frenzy he massacred the clan leaving only her alive and than took his own life afterward. Due to this traumatizing event she refused to live on the higher planes of heaven and hid herself on earth waiting for a day when her strength and power could be used once again.

Hope this works, if anything needs to be changed lemme know. Edited December 9, 2010 by Knuckles' Girl

[ExcelExcel]

Name: Tahlia Rells

Age: 16 at time of death, 7 years have passed since.

Race: Shikabane

Human Appearence: Appearing exactly as she did in life, Tahlia stands in at 5'4" and weighs in at 120 lbs. She is cold to the touch, and is surrounded by a faint scent of stale, stagnated decay. Usually, she wears perfume to hide it, but for those who have extrordinary senses of smell, it is still there. Wearing a Japanese high school uniform seems to be her usual attire, with accents of black. She wears typical penny loafers and ruffled socks. Her long, auburn hair is tied back into a braided ponytail, and her eyes are a deep green.

Second Form Appearence: Her muscle structure becomes much more lithe, and her nails extend into black claws. Her teeth become jagged and pointed, and her eyes glow like green coals. However, it is extremely rare for her to take this form, and only when she has been using her curse for some time.

Weapons: She weilds a semi-automatic Uzi machine gun, as well as several daggers she keeps tucked in a garter on her left leg.

Curse: Her unusual power, her curse, is ironically what keeps her from slaughtering innocent people as shikabane usually do. Her curse is against that of all shikabane, the reason for her death. Her curse runs along the lines of drawing almost infinite power from the void of death in order to kill Shikabane and others who kill humans. This ability extends to her firearms, as she is able to fire them with out actually touching them.

Personality: Despite her rather brash nature, she's cold and withdrawn when around other living people. She used to be on her own, though no one sees her leaving anytime soon. Driven by the desire for revenge on those who killed her and her family, she's often seemingly filled with a deep heartache. Not knowing just how long she has until becoming just another shikabane weighs heavily on her.

History: Tahlia was once just a normal teenager, who liked boys, anime, and ice cream. She was top in her class, always with good grades and a happy family. She lived in Kyoto, Japan, and helped her family take care of a temple of great historical significance. Her life was was happy, carefree, and innocent, until the day she and her family were killed in a fire. However, it wasn't the fire that killed her or her family, but a mass of powerful shikabane. They had barged in, and slaughtered her little brother before their parents could do anything, and they too were killed. Her sisters were dragged away, and Tahlia could hear their screams. Tahlia hid in a closet, but unfortunately, she was found. She begged and pleaded for her life, though to no avail. Her arms, then her legs, and finally her chest, they were ripped from her still living body. It was as she lie dying in a pool of her own blood that she saw through hazy vision the remains of her family and home ablaze. Her vision grew dark as she thought of how she couldn't protect them, a feirce anger rising in what remained of her heart. It was later that night she rose as again, her body intact, and her heart filled with the rage of being uable to protect her family.

Since that night, she has wandered the world, slaying monsters, all the while being a monster. She is the killer of immortals, and the dark savior of mortals, unable to find rest until she has killed those who killed her. Edited December 10, 2010 by ExcelExcel

Excellent. We have our first two players, now let's see who else joins...

But, Here I am:

Name: Ezeikiel Merostcue

Age: 23 at time of death. Has existed for nearly 700 years.

Race: Angel

Human Appearence: Zeke, as he often reffered to, can be summed up as a punk nerd. He's 5'11" and 150 lbs. He wears an over sized grey dress shirt, leaving the yop buttons undone. as well as the cuffs. He usually wears studded leather bracelets and a matching dog collar, the collar having a celtic cross dangling from it. Small red loops adorn his earlobes. On his legs are a pair of rather tight fitting black jeans, and on his feet are a pair of sneakers with purple laces. His face is almost aristocratic in it's delicacy, and his hazel eyes gaze at someone almost if his eyes can look into their soul. He wears his hair cropped short in a fade.

Second Form Appearence: Zeke spreads massive black feathered wings, though he gains no other mass. His hair becomes back in color, and his pretty hazel eyes become the color of human blood.

Weapons: Usually, he weilds one of two weapons. One is a scythe ablaze with purple fire called 'Mercy', the other is a magical, massive, magnum handgun imbued the energies to charge its bullets with holy power. Zeke jokingly calls it 'The Gospel"

Powers: He has the ability to absorb elemental attacks flung at him and deliver them back a hundredfold. On his own, he holds a supernatural healing ability that he can use to better aide his comrades.

Personality: Wild, untamable, and always there for his allies, Zeke is quite the leader, always out to protect those close to him and the innocents who are lost in this great, bloody war.

History: Not much is known about Zeke's past, though there is a jagged, hatched scar running the length of his back starting just below his right shoulder blade. All that is widely known about him is that he was once human, and he was dispatched from the mortal coil at the hands of a group of demons. He disappeared from the ranks of Heaven's army about three centuries ago, and hasn't been seen since by the major players at large. Edited December 11, 2010 by Inuyasha Fandom
