[center][sub]The Tower of Babel goes both ways[/sub][/center]
[hr]
May 1st, A Sunday, the day after the national holiday of Showa Day, in the city of Tokyo in the Shinjuku ward. You and a small handful of others had brought into a circulating Rumour amongst the people of Tokyo about a website that you could only access with a specific url. Forum trawling and asking about, you managed to acquire the URL to the stream. It was a simple black website with nothing but the video feed staring blankly at an non-descript apartment wall. There was no text chat to speak of. For the most part this is how the stream had looked for the longest time. Until tonight. 

There would be a backlight lighting up on the stream. A heavy sigh would occur, perhaps waking you up from dozing off from how dull the stream had been. The man would cough slightly as if to clear his throat. He would begin to speak his face obscured from view as he would be sitting behind the camera that would be staring at the back wall. He would begin to speak in a very rigid dialect it was clear Japanese that was to be said for sure but his words did not flow. It was as if he was predicating over his pronunciation of each word over each and every deliverance of syllable. 

"Hello, Watchers and Observers, The Salvation is at hand, the pure shall be saved and we will soon be united in a joyful bliss in the bosom of the creator above. Though we are all not yet saved. While us faithful wait for our own salvation, I will decree the names of those known to you that will be saved."

He would begin a long process of listing names of listing the first to be saved and their times of death. The stream would showcase the profiles of the victims specifically his names would only appear to be people you would know, you may recognise a few from work, or from around the place Perhaps even from school some were said to die early in the morning, others late in the afternoon. The largest amount being at 11:59pm Monday May 2nd. Perhaps this was some kind of ARG? Or the delusional speakings of a crazy man. One could of easily wrote off the entire thing as just some sick practical joke though it seemed so elaborate for the names of each person on every stream would only be someone that person knew. Some people got next to no names others would have an incredibly packed list but even this overwhelming information would prepare nobody for what would happen next.

Suddenly Homes would go dark, and yet would still be illuminated. By Light coming from behind curtains or through slivers of windows. Light so intense that it cast no shadow, Salvation had come and thought it took none from the city of Tokyo, the rest couldn't be said for the world outside. Tokyo was now trapped within an ethereal barrier of light. That after its initial conception would dimmed to provide no more light then the light of the moon. This ghostly barrier that extend up towards the heavens.

<Enoch's Ascent has been installed> Your phone would ping after the stream had concluded. The only light left in your once again darkened home. 

The 9 million of Tokyo had become trapped like Rats within a cage. But the trapping was not the only concern. For now creatures had begun to manifest in the streets, Demons that would terrorise those that had been left behind. The World had ended on the turn of a Sunday, going onto a Monday. 00.00am Monday the 2nd. Constitution day. The day the world ended. The day your fight for survival began.

Hee ho there friend, and welcome to the interest check for this here Devil Survivor RP. Firstly a few things out of the gate, I will be capping this roleplay at five players, anything more and the mechanical complexity becomes a bit too much to properly handle. Secondly the RP has a in-roleplay time limit of seven days (matching the games that inspired this rp to take place) meaning players will be fully attempting to maximise what they do each day, while also attempting to defeat the 'boss' of that day as they hunt closer to try to find the source of what did this. All while averting their own deaths and the deaths of those around them through the use of Demons. Mechanics are used to allow players to improve themselves as the st ory progresses from gaining new skills, to upgrading your starting demons


If this feels up your alley and your up for a roleplay where you will progress in both strength and character then welcome to RP

[color=Cyan][b]Informative Data:[/b][/color] According to the local folklore of southwest England, pixies are small mischievous creatures that inhabit the countryside and woodlands that like to play pranks on humans. Depending on the tale told, pixies can vary in size from tiny enough to fit in the palm of a human's hand to the size of a small child, although they are always a good deal below the size of an average human. They can be portrayed with or without wings, and over the years have taken on many traits usually associated with fairies, often leading to the common misconception that they are one and the same.

Pixies are sometimes said to be born in much the same way as humans, however some tales tell that they are humans transformed through misdeeds or magic. They play pranks on humans such as stealing their belongings, throwing things or calling out their names. They may also steal horses during the night and return them by the morning with tangled manes. While pixies usually don't cause any real harm, it is said that if someone follows the voices of pixies, they will never return.

[hider=Skill List]
[color=Gold][b]Racial Skill:[/b][/color] 
[hider=Glamour]Heal a small group of allies (up to three players/Demons), The healing can light cuts, bruises, stem bleeding and remove toxins. It also slightly reinvigorates allies recovering a bit of stamina (but never more then it took to use the skill)[/hider] 
[color=Cyan][b]Skills:[/b][/color]
[hider=Dia]Heal small wounds, bruises and the like, Dia's healing potential is equivalent to a small first aid kit and thus unless applied constantly and repeatedly it will do little for wounds of a more severe nature[/hider]
[hider=Zio]Produce a small discharge of lightning to strike the foe. Deals light Elec damage to one enemy[/hider]
[/hider]

[/hider]
Demons are assigned out at the start of the rp out of a pool of 15 demons, You will be shown 5 and can pick two, the rest will be returned to the pool. Demons operate on a first come first serve basis. 
[hider=Racial Skills , Player skills & Skills FAQ]
Racial skills are skills that are dependent on a demons race, If you use a demon often, the skill will become [i]Enhanced[/i] and have a more powerful effect. Racial skills remain enhanced even after mutation. Unless the Demons race is changed.  

Players can wield skills similar to demons via the demon-summoning app. A player's skills function independently from their demons. However a bit of Macca can be payed to copy a skill from a demon to your characters skill list.  Player characters start off with 1 status skill and 1 basic elemental skill and have a skill slot maximum of 8

Demons have a maximum skill slots of 6 + their racial skill.  

[/hider]
[hider=Resistance and Weakness]
On the sheet you'll notice a Resistance and Weaknesses bar. These show what a demon is resistant/weak to if a demon that is weak to an type is hit. It will stagger, which will allow you to perform an additional action against the demon in rapid succession, maybe even two with a certain racial trait. A demon cannot be staggered again if it already staggered. 

All players are treated as having neutral resistance in all areas.
[/hider]
[hider=Demon Mutation]
If a Demon experiences combat enough and is subject to a stimuli of some sort, it may cause it to mutate into a more powerful form, This process will replace fusion for this roleplay. A demon that mutates will keep all of its skills, but will learn new ones upon mutating up to its cap of 6.  Demons that mutate into a difference race will reset their enhancement on their racial ability. Mutation lines will be revealed as stimuli are triggered, meaning what your demons may turn into is a something to look forward to.
