"You jolt awake trying to catch you breath. You can't stop gasping as there is no air for you to fill your lungs full. You stop trying to breath as you see another lying before you... and another. They look as if they were killed by something near or far. Your last memories flash before you eyes. You died... but... you are alive again? Alive somewhere... somewhere far from that which you were taught in church or by your parents. Far from the places you've always wished to be reborn. This place... this terrible place is the void between life and death. This is the place that will judge you and only you. You've touched the tainted ground of the afterlife and you already feel that you must run. There is, what seems to be, a huge city off in the distance. Maybe you can find the answers you seek there. You better hurry... something is hunting you." Hello everyone! This is actually the beginning to a new story I'm working on. In this, your characters must run and find repentance... or die. Die by what you might be asking... well the answer is the minions of the Devil. Yes, you heard me right. You might have noticed by the area around you that you aren't exactly in hell. Then where are you? The void between life and death. The plains of judgement. Have you fulfilled you life and do you belong in what you call heaven... or are you one of the weak who will be claimed for a millennium in the fires of hell. It is you call... you better hurry and make your decision... will you fight, run, or die... again. Your characters can come from any generation/era/timezone. For some reason, they all just met up. No matter who or what your character was or was doing before his death, this new world defies all forms of anything and they will have to survive. [Hider=CS][u]Character Sheet:[/u] Name: Age: Gender: Race: How did you die?: Brief History: (Good or Bad)[/hider] It's not an arena thing, but your characters can die. You can proceed on together or solo. All six characters will pretty much wake up in the same location... approximately within 15 meters of each other. Your characters can't kill each other, however you can fight and cause damage. More or less, weapons you can't carry. There are knives, blunt objects, and other things. Something I'm not too sure of how to add into the story just yet is that it is medieval. There aren't any usable cars, planes, boats, or modern day equipment. Somehow, some modern day items have made their way into this void which can provide protection. [u]What I am looking for:[/u] At least five characters. If you feel comfortable with it, you can have two. Character Activity. I'd love to keep the story moving rather than having it stuck waiting on one persons post. I'd also like to see collaboration in the OOC when it comes to characters fighting, if there is any at all. I don't know how the Arena works here so if I can be able to see that two or more are about to fight then it'd seem to be a lot more fair for everyone. [u]In-Character Rules[/u]: You can't kill demons. You can only slow them down. Demons will always know where you are within about 50-100 meter radius. Demons can be attacked. Traps can be made. There will be a future discussion if your character is going to be attacked maimed/killed by a demon. It is a free role play, but when it comes time to submit your responses, Items will be in my initial response. That means, your characters can't just go running around picking stuff up off the ground. I'll make it clear that weapons are present. [b]Characters can not KILL other characters.[/b] Demon and Angel weapons are too heavy to be used. [u]Out-of-Character Rules[/u] If we are waiting for you to post and I haven't received a warning that you won't be posting. After two days time, you're character will be executed. However, if you do notify me, they will be ghosting until you return. If discussion about your character being executed is concluded, the only way to save him is determined by what the other characters do. As an example, if your character is by himself and he is fated to get his head cut off, then he will die. However if he is walking with members of a group, someone can pull him away from the attack. There will be a PA in the OOC calling out the character so others can have a chance to save him. Remember, this is about survival. Any questions please ask. It is a bit late for me, so edits will come surely.
