There is an Interest Check here.
In the world, there is Good, and Evil. Most beings are never purely one or the other, but there are a few that are... these beings, are known as 'Essence'. The Good Essence has multiple versions of itself, all named after their dominant traits. Bravery, Honor, Justice, Kindness, Friendship, Love, Innocence. These beings do not interfere with normal life, nor do they have actual forms themselves, being made entirely out of pure energy.
There is, however, Evil Essence in the world. This Evil Essence disrupts the world by taking form and causing chaos among mortals, who are helpless to defend themselves from the unapparent Evil lurking over them. This, is where the Good Essence comes in. They take physical form throughout time and space to defeat the Evil, though they never reveal their true selves. They stay hidden, and blend in with the rest of the community to avoid direct confrontation. Evil is stronger than Good, meaning Good is always forced to find the source of the Evil without revealing themselves, as that would lead to destruction of themselves, and banishment from the land. Death is not permanent, however, being beings of pure energy, but it does mean Evil has won the battle, and will always be prepared and will always win out should Good decide to interfere again.
Good does not always win, and during those times they never return to the same location again. Good does win sometimes, which sends vibes throughout the cosmos, letting every being of their deeds... yet, they are never thanked. After each battle, the Essences of Good forget their past battles as it would hinder them in their battles to come. The only memories they are given are those needed to survive in the lands they are in, such as general communication, walking, or skills necessary to defeat the Evil.
The plot starts elsewhere, however. At a time where Good has changed, and they are no longer as 'pure' as they have been in the past. They have come up with actual names for themselves, and claim to prefer them better than their actual names. Their pure names are no longer as powerful as they used to be, as they sometimes lie, or cower. Something within them has gone wrong, and they are starting to see memories of a certain time. They will also start to remember their most recent battles... something that should not happen. They are no longer pure, and it is this point where the story begins. They must figure out what has become of themselves, and possibly figure out how to defeat Evil once and for all. The rest, they will have to discover themselves.
1. No Powergaming. That means no controlling other characters or NPCs that you do not control.
2. No Metagaming. If someone has learned something, that does NOT mean you know it. They must tell you themselves if they wish you to know it.
3. No godmodding. If you are a child, and an adult grabs you, you can't karate chop their head off and be fine. In this RP, this rule is VERY important, because I WILL kill off characters quiet often. No one ever said defeating Evil would be easy.
4. Be nice!
5. Please, do not time warp. If you post something, you are not allowed to explore the entire house in one jump. Take a single post to examine the room. Another to explore a section of it. And another to enter another room. Don't do all of this in one post, as it leaves no room for others to explore!
6. Moderators win! No arguing.

Example post: Ophelia ran awkwarly down the hall, stumbling over her high-heels and knocking over various pieces of the mistress' furniture. First day on the job, she thought as she grabbed a vase before it fell, …and the extremely large mansion loses power. I can only imagine the mess I'll have to clean up when the lights come back. She clasped her maid uniform and held it up so she wouldn't trip on it and looked around the hallway. It was empty. Ophelia immediately threw of her heels and sprinted towards the kitchen. She searched for a fusebox.
Somewhere behind her, a door creaked.
Opheia turned around and saw the door, light pouring out of the cracks. She walked over to it and opened it completely, adjusting her eyes to the bright light. The door went nowhere, just a large void of yellow and orange. She wanted to go inside, to live in this void forever. But her senses told her not to.
"Go in, curious one." a voice said.
Ophelia turned around and saw just the darkness of the kitchen. No one was there. She stepped back and started to close the door when someone shoved her into the void.
"Goodbye, curious one." the voice said, as Ophelia fell to her death.

Username: Ink-berry | Pure Name: Justice | Nickname: Alaric
Personality: "Justice", to Alaric is a very... loose term. He's most definitely the most tainted one out of the Pure, in terms of sympathy and compassion - his means of making ends meet is usually pretty dubious (although this's explained by the fact he believes justice is harsh). He'll always do the "right" thing without hesitation, though, but this also results in him just doing things blindly at times. If someone he considers to be higher than him in terms of moral righteousness tells him to kill someone, for example, he'll agree without a second thought.
Of course, being the embodiment of justice, he still tends to follow some sort of "honor" code and can be considered more naive in this respect. (Alaric also thinks of people in terms of "innocent" and "guilty" instead of "good" and "evil".) He also speaks rather awkwardly, though, which's most likely his attempt at being polite / possibly chivalrous.

Example Post:
I continue to sit in the corner away from the action, staring at the other's in the room. Everyone is inside of a dark and depressing tavern, filled with all sorts of people. Everyone is armed to the teeth as they carry weapons on them... only myself unarmed. Luckily no one noticed me, but I noticed them. There was a fight going on in the middle of the tavern, two men staring each other down and cursing out words as fast as they could, all the while holding their hands on their hips, ready to pull out their guns and lash them at the other at the faintest hint of danger. The barkeeper ducked into a room, and later returned with a shotgun. He pumped his gun quickly, waving it at the others, and yelled at them from the safety of his counter. His voice wasn't very harsh, despite the danger his tavern was in, and the current situation. "Get out of my tavern! I don't want have to shoot any y'all. Go on! Get going now before I call the sheriff!" he yelled nervously. The other two didn't seem to pay any attention to him, as they continued their battle of words.
A young gentleman walked between the two, holding his hands towards both of them, waving them slowly as if to put their guns down through magic. "Please folks, we don't need any trouble here. Why don't we just settle this outside? I'm sure the sheriff will be here shortly." he said calmly ad slowly. He obviously had a powerful voice, though he managed to keep it sounding soft and gentle during the situation. "Forget this!" one of the men yelled. He pulled out his gun and shot past the stranger, missing his target and shattering a bottle in the background. "Why you little-" the other pulled out his gun and let loose three quick shots, the first missing and giving the other a chance to dive behind a table and flip it over. The man originally in the middle dived for the floor, and made his way to the exit, crawling his way to safety as the remaining bullets flew overhead. Other men sitting in their tables stood and drew their weapons, aiming it upon each of the attackers, though some thought it best to join the attacks as they probably had similar thoughts to their agendas.
The fight was anything but quick and clean... bullets where through every chair, several men laid on the ground wounded, and one man dead. The bullets ran out fast, forcing everyone into a fist-fighting brawl. It was only until the sheriff and his deputies showed up did the fighting stop. They didn't even have to lay a hand on their guns. Everyone just stopped. The issue was settled without a single word being spoken. The sheriff and his men took the two original outlaws with him, leaving the tavern keeper with his shotgun, all his unused bullets, and a completely destroyed tavern. I decided it was time to leave, so I got up from my spot and followed the sheriff to his department.

I (Kai) was going through the woods and saw a rabbit and thought wow i really need my damn bow and an arrow or a freaking dagger or knife to kill this thing i am staving. I haven't eaten in days so i will sneak up on it through the trees and smash its head with a rock. Then i pick up a decent sized rock and get above it and i jump out of the tree with the rock above its head and smash broken skull and blood all over the grass and i get free meat. I then get out to my campsite and cook it that night then i laugh about my plan to kill it and want to do it again the nest day for lunch and dinner. I then have a great meal and go to sleep for the rest of the night.
Username: Stitches | Pure Name: Healing | Nickname: Hylia
Personality:
♫ Weak/Delicate
♫ Seemingly Apathetic (Shows very little regard for emotion and personality in herself and other people)
♫ Graceful
♫ Optimistic
♫ Fearful
♫ Somewhat independent, still relies on friends.
Healing happens to be one of the stranger essences. Whenever she manifests, she seems to retain an otherworldly sense around her - a feeling of detachment from the rest of the world. She isolates herself with the other Essences now, and focuses solely on the mission at hand. Like a flower, she will constantly bloom, but is very weak or delicate and takes wounds worse than, for example, Justice might take.
Once, she used to be bright and energetic and lively, constantly boosting the Essences' morale. She used to be excited to destroy corruption, and met many people with whom she would become friendly with; perhaps more than friends at some points, especially if the 'mission' took decades to complete. But, as time wore on, a darkness started to settle into Healing's heart - a darkness she could feel, stirring within her.
It sapped at her personality. She became cold, something incredibly graceful yet separating herself from everything else with some sort of invisible wall. She no longer whizzed around like the excited girl she used to be - she matured into an emotionless being, yet still shows signs of her steadfast, everlasting optimism - the one thing that never changed within the Essence.
In truth, Healing is fearful - she's afraid of what is to come. She demands that the other Essences call her by her pure name, she doesn't get into contact with anything else. She has become somewhat independent, almost wary of the other Essences. She retains a distance, but she still relies on her friends to comfort her on those rare moments when she needs it. Most of the time, she is thinking and pondering over fate, and what is to come.

Raina was thrown back into the pile everyone else was in as everyone else was figuring out what was going in.
