"Would you like to hear a story children? About the fall of our governments, our civilizations, and finally our Earth?

Well you see, it started over hundreds of years ago when the great men who led the past nations wanted to play 'Who's got the biggest cock?' It started as bluffs, men threatening others with their nuclear warheads. Then the day came when the bluffing stopped. It is said from stories passed down that it didn't take long. It was over in a matter of hours. As soon as one missile was launched, all the others played follow the leader. Everybody wanted to create great pain on others, for they knew that their people would feel it. No man should have had that much power in their hands. Our fate was sealed that day, thanks to a handful of men on a power trip. Reactors exploded, the bombs took out many cities and great populations. A good portion of life was wiped out in almost one day. Radiation levels spiked, choking out life and hopes of new life.

Many, many years had passed after the warheads had been fired. Unfortunately, the Earth was not getting better. The Earth was sick it seemed, rotting away on the inside. Wildlife withered, water evaporated, life itself was slowly slipping away. It was during this time that the first generation of 'Blessed Ones' were born. Humans, with fascinating abilities and powers that none thought were possible. However, it was a single Blessed One that seemed to give hope to others. They called her Mother of Water; you see, her power was the ability to pull water from midair. She was known far and wide and many flocked to her, asking for her help. She always willingly helped others, never questioning.

This was the time that the Paradise Land was created. It was a great fortress built to house people and provide them with the needs of life. It also came in handy as a means of protection when the Dead began to arrive. Men, women, and children alike were beginning to arise from their graves and were on a hunt for the flesh of the living. They were slow, dumb creatures that ran on the most simple of instincts. To feed. The Blessed Ones and human warriors alike fought bravely against every wave of Dead that came their way. Always thriving, fighting to continue on living.

Now, we have a new Mother. A young Mother at that. However, she has stepped boldly into her role. She is the leader of our Paradise Lands and leads our Blessed Ones into battle many times over. She has recruited three sisters with massive wings that we know as the Harpies. They watch atop our walls for oncoming threats. She has found a powerful metal manipulator that is now our Gate-Keeper, they are who opens and closes the large steel gates that bar our Paradise. Mother has brought together a fierce team of Blessed Ones with amazing gifts and has even trained many humans to be just as fierce. Our Blessed Ones and Mother are truly a force to be reckon with. Worry not children, for so long as we have them, there is nothing to worry about."

Handsome Men.
:.A Glorious Gift.:
-Has the ability to use Shadows as a means of teleportation.
-Can transform in a raven only when wearing her cloak.
-Incredibly talented with a bow and arrow.
-An amazing people person. Good at talking people down and diffusing a situation.
-Has a knack for horticulture. Has a rose garden growing in the back yard of her home.
:.The Proud.:
Mother of the Paradise Land
:.People Say.:
Ravenia is incredibly caring for others, whether she knows them or not. It is because of this that she is many times said to be like a mother lion. Mess with her's and she'll rip your eyes out. Ravenia also has a somewhat catty nature, having a quick comment for others who might try a battle of the tongues with her.
:.The Past Was.:
Ravenia is not a natural born of the Promised Land. In fact, she knows not of where she comes from. All Ravenia knows is that her mother had made the journey across the Red Waste many, many years ago when she was still a baby in her mother's womb. They say she came alone, clutching her swollen belly and crying out in labor pains. Her mother had just barely made it within the gates when Ravenia was born into the world, screaming long and hard at her abrupt delivery. The current Mother chuckled and nodded her head, "She will be a strong one." That night, Ravenia's mother passed away in her sleep.

Brought up by one of the Warriors, Ravenia grew to be strong and fearless. He had never had a family, his own wife and daughter having died in child birth. Ravenia first discovered her powers at the age of 9, this was the first time she had phased through the shadows. Not too long after that was she presented with the raven-feathered cloak by her father, it had been saved for her. The cape was the only thing they had saved when Ravenia's late mother had passed away. Having not had powers of his own, he trained his little Raven in the art of hand-to-hand combat; as well as, many different weapons. She became quite skilled with a bow and arrow.

When she was sixteen, Ravenia learned a new trick. She realized that she could actually transform into a raven, herself. There were some magic qualities about her mother's cloak, something that nobody could quite understand. Because of her great capabilties and talents, she quickly became a skilled Blessed One, moving up the ranks in no time to become the new leader. When she was nineteen, the old Mother died in battle among the Dead. There had been a big debate but Ravenia had been appointed to become the new Mother. There were few who doubted her because of her tender age, but time and time again Ravenia proved she was the proper choice.

Terribly interested. I'll get to work on a character sheet right away.

Question: Is there a limit to how many characters we can create and play?

:.Born As.:

Marcus Halloway

:.Also Known As.:

The Experiment

:.Appear To Be.:

Twenty-Seven

:.The Doctor Said.:

Male

:.I Swing Towards.:

Any woman with a beating heart

:.A Glorious Gift.:

-Has incredible talent for technology and metalworking.

-Can manipulate metal to his will.

-Enjoys staying up during the nights to watch the sun rise.

-Can work semi-efficiently with only a few hours of sleep

:.The Proud.:

Gate Keeper

:.People Say.:

Marcus can be quite stubborn at times, and is known to but heads with people on several occasions. He dislikes it when people believe that they know more about technology than he does, and tries to make them back up their words when people say that they know more than he does. He wants only the best for people, and is willing to do everything in his power to try to move things back to the way they used to be long ago.

:.The Past Was.:

Marcus was born when his father and mother were traveling a fair distance from the Paradise Land. His parents were wanders who picked up whatever scraps they could and moved on. They had not anticipated his birth, and despite their thoughts, they kept him with them in their travels. Although their lives were much more difficult with a growing child, they did their best to help him, even if it meant that couldn't help themselves.

As the years passed, Marcus and his parents were attacked by a rather large group of wanders, wanting what they had and not feeling like leaving anyone alive. The group had meant to kill all three of them, but Marcus remained alive. He traveled for days on end with anything the other group had decided not to take. The young boy barely survived, but he learned from his late parents to take anything and everything available. He traveled far, but eventually he came to a stop. Another group of wandering bandits attacked him and let him go with an inch of his life, when he was found by someone who he later called his second father. The man took him to the Paradise Land and patched him up, using whatever technology he could to give the teen a working body.

He had never discovered his control over metal until after he reached his new home, and by then he was already adept with technology. His control over metal helped him work on his damaged body, and the only time he was more thankful than learning about his powers was when his second father saved him. Following that day, he worked on both his technological skills as well as his metalworking skills, hoping to one day become good enough with both of them to start helping people.

:.What You See.:


:.Behind The Scenes.:

His entire arm is robotic, shoulder and all. He conceals a large portion of his robotics with his clothing, as a large number of biological parts have been replaced with mechanical ones.


NOTE: for his appearance, I couldn't find a picture with crude enough arm, but this pictures is as close to my character that I can find.

@ Luminance: Now be mindful, they are siblings. I had originally intended for them to be sisters, but I'll allow brothers too depending on what people are interested in.

@ Exit: Indeed, I did! Okay, I'll be waiting for your character! =)

@ pyroman: Accepted! I love it!!

Well that works perfectly! I was hoping for this to be the case :D I hope you don't mind too much if I refer to them as 'The Harpies of Three' which I am intending to do. Should I hold off on her history then, until the other two harpy positions are taken?

Not a problem! Go ahead and call them whatever you like.
And yes, for now go ahead and leave the history out. You can give something brief but if you're wanting to wait for the other two, that's okay.

Anora Whiting

:.Also Known As.:
‘The Dove’

:.Appear To Be.:
Twenty-Two

:.The Doctor Said.:
"It’s a beautiful girl!"

:.The Proud.:
Harpy of Three

:.People Say.:
“From the Harpies of Three there is The Dove, the faithful and reliable. With wings of the purest white she heralds from atop the walls, cautioning of the damned.”
“The Dove seems to have a deep inner need for quiet, and a desire to understand and analyse the world and to learn the deeper truths. This solitary thoughtfulness may make her seem aloof, and even melancholy. However, within her shines the rays of absolute care towards us, the people of Paradise Land.”
“The Dove quietly sings wordless tunes from her place atop the wall. Melodies which calm even the most turmoiled of souls. Though, beware the abrupt pause in tune for it can only mean the approach of the damned.”


:.The Past Was.:
(Character's Past History)…Pending… Waiting for other sisters/brothers to collaborate a history with. Also don't mind changing the last name to something we agree on.

:.What You See.:


:.Behind The Scenes.:
No tattoos or piercing’s. Anora prefers an unblemished appearance. Has an affinity for gold trinkets and has quite the collection.
((Character is loosely based upon the dove in Noah’s ark.))
