[hr]
[center][i]Death gazes at you from under his hood, his scythe hanging from one hand and an hour glass dangling from the other. "Do not disrespect my gift," he tells you, his voice resonating in your chest. You promise you won't, you beg he keep his word. In response, he hands you the hour glass, the sand snaking back up into the upper chamber. He's giving you more time. "Find the others," he commands. "Before I change my mind."[/i][/center]
[hr]
[color=DarkRed][h2]Basic Concept[/h2][/color]
[indent]While visiting/living in the small town of Renata, your character has a near death experience through odd circumstances. Whether you were in danger or not, you died. Either by water, fire, earth, choice, etc..., you succumbed to your wounds and your soul fled this world. Until Death himself stopped you. He gave a vague proposition, eerie and risky. You might not even want it. [i]"Go back,"[/i] he told you. [i]"Prove yourself."[/i] Prove yourself? For what, to what? You barely recall the experience once you wake up in the local hospital, nurses and doctors astonished by your resurrection. Everybody asks you what you saw when you were "dead," but you can't bring yourself to talk about what happened, afraid they'll call you insane, throw you into a mental asylum. During your recovery, they move you to a shared room filled with others who have similar experiences. Death's children, all gathered in one room? Who knows what could happen? Not to mention the mysterious powers now manifesting in all of you...[/indent]

[h2][color=DarkRed]Rules[/color][/h2]
[indent]-Don't be an ass
-One character per person, unless you can convince me, or your side characters don't have powers
-Really think something could be added to this RP? Tell me! I'd love to hear some ideas and suggestions. This goes the same for bending some rules or character restriction
-Mature themes are okay here (cussing, carnage) but sexual stuff goes to DMs
-No God modding
-I expect at least 2+ paragraphs from each post
-If you cannot continue this RP any longer, please tell us!
-Post your character in OOC first, then move to Characters once accepted
-Regarding powers, first come first serve. You wanted water really bad but somebody else got it? Sorry bud[/indent]
[hr]
[color=DarkRed][h2]Your Character[/h2][/color]
[indent]Once you wake up, you discover that you have powers relating to your death, aka the drowned control water, the burned control fire. I have no limits on your character's death; it can be as intricate or as random as possible, as long as you can argue how it ties into their powers.[/indent]

[indent]He and his servants carry the souls of the passed to the underworld. Being one of the oldest of gods, he knows many tricks and valuable information on just about everything. The other Gods' darkest secrets, their dearest wishes. He knows all. The dead may be dead, but their spirits still speak[/indent]

[color=9e0b0f]|Personality|[/color] 
[indent]Everybody sees him differently. Hateful, spiteful, merciful, blind. In reality, he is uncaring. He has wished for almost nothing during his whole existence. Makes you wonder why all of a sudden he uses his real powers; the gift of life.[/indent]

[color=9e0b0f]|Other|[/color]
[indent]Death knows humans try to dictate his meaning and form a philosphy from his practice. He finds it amusing, the way they try to cage a god's intentions, and that they believe he has any at all beyond doing his duty[/indent][/hider]

[indent]Queen of the Underworld and Goddess to the spring. She shares her powers of soil and earth with Joel, but is more practiced and skilled. During Fall and Winter, her extent over plant life weakens, though Joel's does not.[/indent]

[color=f6989d]|Personality|[/color] 
[indent]Persephone has had many personas over the years. As Kore, Demeter's daughter of spring, she was shy and quiet, passingly beautiful. But as Persephone, Queen of Hell, she hardened and grew a backbone. With the arrival of her competitor, she will do close to everything to keep her thrown. While she secretly empathizes with Joel because of their similar circumstances (kidnapping), she can't let go of her position[/indent]

[color=f6989d]|Other|[/color]
[indent]Despite being the Queen of Hell, she has no domain over the dead. She can sense and communicate with them, but she cannot influence them by supernatural means[/indent]

[hider=Iskur][center][h1]Iskur, the Stormruler[/h1][/center]
[center][img]http://i64.tinypic.com/2hxalft.jpg[/img][/center]

|Name|
[indent]Iskur, Hadad, Pidar, Rapiu, Ba'al, Zephon[/indent]

|Age|
[indent]Approximately 7,000 years[/indent]

|Gender|
[indent]N[/indent]

|Domain|
[indent]Iskur's domain lies in gaia's wrath - the thunderstorm. The zenith of its power is the hammer of justice, the lightning strike, which it uses to destroy those who challenge mother earth. Iskur presides over hurricane winds and ice storms as well, though these are merely byproducts of its presence.[/indent]

|Personality| 
[indent]Iskur is an ancient being, its will shaping the very foundation of the earth, though it was not embodied until roughly seven thousand years ago. It does not possess a consciousness relatable to the human mind, though on a fundamental level it carries some aspects. Iskur was once more peaceful, but fair, providing sowing winds and healing rains to mankind. It gave bountiful harvests when deserved, and scourged farmlands barren for the unjust. But now the winters are long, Iskur floods in the spring and starves in the fall, and unforgiving hurricanes shatter the land, for mankind has corrupted the earth, and Iskur has become the embodiment of vengeance absolute, yielding only to power.[/indent]

|Other|
[indent]Iskur is a great and terrible force and does not deign to manifest itself before humankind. It exists only within the most destructive hurricanes, and if you were lucky, or unlucky, enough to survive within one for long, you might glimpse the silhouette of a colossal winged being before it stole you from this existence.[/indent][/hider]

[color=FF0000]|Name|[/color]
[indent]Apollo, known in the mortal realm simply as “Jack”[/indent]

[color=FF0000]|Age|[/color]
[indent]Super old but don’t mention it. Seriously, it will only make him mad.[/indent]

[color=ff0000]|Gender|[/color]
[indent]Male[/indent]

[color=ff0000]|Domain|[/color]
[indent]God of archery, music, poetry, prophecy, medicine, and god of the sun. Like John he has a hot temper, pun intended. Unlike John, he is rarely able to get his temper under control.[/indent]

[color=ff0000]|Personality|[/color]
[indent]Apollo doesn’t much care for anything beyond his carnal pleasures and his music. He’s quick to get into a fight and usually comes out on top, having a natural sense for which fights are in his favor.[/indent]

[color=ff0000]|Other|[/color]
[indent]While the sun is under his domain he does not share John’s affinity with flames. He admires John’s natural talent with music but is secretly afraid that if the two were compared that John would come out on top.[/indent]

[color=#89CFF0]|Domain|[/color]
[indent]Zephyr's reach extends to the winds, going as far back to ancient winds. Her control of the winds is excellent, almost seeming as if the rough, malevolent winds were her plaything.[/indent]

[color=#89CFF0]|Personality|[/color]
[indent]Zephyr was mostly benevolent throughout her 'earlier' years, granting safe passage and luck during harsher times of early humanity. Although now she had grown uncaring (mainly due to the curse of immortality making her indifferent), with her expression not shifting in the slightest even when informed of the new 'demigods'. She cared little for them, though still having that slight tinge curiosity, as did the other gods, infact being slightly amused by the antics of Death. Her immortality even made her enjoy the mantra of 'Who wants to live forever'? Even if she does fulfill her duties, she wouldn't mind being overthrown.[/indent]

|Domain|
[indent]Terpsichore is the goddess of dance and music, and  the mother of sirens. In mythology she is usually depicted with a lyre, but in this new world she mostly prefers the tambourine. [/indent]

|Personality| 
[indent]Terpsichore prefers to be called Teri, since other than being a mouthful, it makes her sound like a bad heavy metal album hence she lowkey hates her own name. She is carefree, optimistic and just radiates fun and life that it's almost contagious. Which it is, since her music purposefully feeds people with positive emotions. Though she happily helps mortals in the only way she can, Teri is oblivious to basic human emotions such as sadness, anger or to some degree, love.  [/indent]

[color=9966CC][b]|Gender|[/b][/color]
[indent]Female[/indent]

[color=9966CC][b]|Domain|[/b][/color]
[indent]Avis is the Goddess of Dreams, Hallucinations and the Night. She breathes life into mortal's sleep and keeps them safe from sunset to sunrise. Her reach also, more recently, has extended into the drug world - as many mortals, unknowingly, are thinning the veil between them and her through the use of narcotics. She strays them away from harm in her haven by causing them to hallucinate in their own world, ensuring that her realm is untouched by mankind as it is far too much for a mortal's mind to process.[/indent]

[color=9966CC][b]|Personality| [/b][/color]
[indent]Over the thousands of years of her existence, Avis has grown somewhat detached from humanity. It has been long since she has felt the warmth of love or the icy touch of hatred - the only access she has to these emotions is through the minds of the mortal world. Because of these, she has developed a fierce protective nature over mankind and will do whatever it takes to save them. She feels nothing but mild disdain towards Tawny, primarily because she knows she is far more powerful than a mere human with gifts.[/indent]

[indent]Uller is bored of living. 	Of course to cease existing would be to relinquish his power, and his ambition had not receded with his enthusiasm. He’d had his first giddy centuries where everything was new, then when things became tedious he lashed out, forced new things to happen from wars to famines but even the excitement from those never lasted longer than a century or two. He has long stopped caring for mortals and whatever empathy and feelings of goodwill he’d possessed at the beginning left no traces on his shallow and slothful soul.[/indent]

[i][color=9e0b0f]Some what related to Death, but not under his domain, the hell hounds sniff about our characters, sensing the death on their skin. While most understand that a god has intervened with your life, some may attack, believing your character is an escapee from hell. Proceed with caution.[/color][/i]

[color=9e0b0f][i]Old women that can either be aware or unaware of your circumstances. They screech once they realize your power, alerting any nearby supernaturals of your existence. Beware, for they look more human than one may believe.[/i][/color][/hider]


[hider=Grim Reapers]

[i][color=9e0b0f]Servants to Death himself, undertakers of human souls. While most have been informed not to interfere with your affairs, there are a few rogues working for independent contractors. They cannot kill, but are ready to reap souls the moment your heart stops.[/color][/i][/hider]

[i][color=9e0b0f]Minor demons, but still nasty little fellows. They may steal your car keys or rip your hair out. Most have childish intentions, but others seek the downfall of Death's children for unknown reasons. Take care when approaching the creatures, they may try to sabotage you.[/color][/i]

[i][color=9e0b0f]Poor lost souls bound to Earth through rage and grief. They wander aimlessly, bumping into people like you, those saved by Death.
