[h3][b]Looking for:[/b][/h3] 4-8 players to go on a journey together!

[h3][b]Content Warnings:[/b][/h3] Dark topics, blood, death, various religions are discussed

[i]This is an idea I've been thinking about all day. The official OOC will have more lore, information, rules and character sheets. If interested in where this is going, please let me know here! If I get just a few to know it's looking interesting, I'll open the OCC.[/i]

Death has brought a cold wind as its name is uttered since time immemorial. It's name, and its nature, have led to many human imaginings of the so-called “afterlife.” Various examples include: eternal damnation, eternal salvation, eternal bliss, eternal dreaming, eternal wandering, eternal nothingness and eternal rebirth. Wars have raged over what teachings are right and which are wrong. The opinion of the general public fluctuates with culture, society. Some fear it above all else. Some seek it. Some pretend it is not there.

The death of your character has come. Suddenly, slowly, with prior knowledge, without. 

In all likelihood, the trauma has left their memory of their last moments...and what came right after...rather spotty.

Because your character managed to not commit too great or too great of an amount of 'sins' in their life, they've avoided worse fates and have been granted a privilege: Purgatory. Their Soul is in one piece. They've have their body back. Their purpose now? To study and work under the tutelage of an Angel Governor until considered fit to graduate to better places. 

But Purgatory is not quite what earthly religions have made it out to be for so long. 

There is no cleansing fire to lock one within. There is no established religion. Believe in Gods or not, your focus during your stay is on learning. Sure, certain names have become synonymous with the people and environment, but they are treated as general terms that can reach across languages. If you were to travel to different cities here, you could find different yet similar words being used for the same things. 

The realm is vast and self-contained, covering what is quite possibly an endless territory. Its terrain is as varied as any habitable planet's. A well-worn, lantern-lit, paved road connects one thousand cities and towns to each other in a circular pattern from the center of the territory outward. Off the path and outside them? Dangerous to be sure. Beings simply called monsters roam there. Capable of more than violence, they have been known to harm, steal and torture Souls. At the furthest documented and southernmost regions, the Silver Ocean laps its oddly pale water at the shores. Any who touch it are doomed to lose all their memories.

Our characters have been reinvigorated in the capital city, Lahnberg. Formerly called Farchill in a forgotten tongue, it is home to the Angel Unity, and head Archangel Lim Araquiell. Massive metal airships carry members of the Unity to and from the city.

They wake, healthy, in dingy dorm rooms on a college campus. Dorm 12. 

On the other side of an introduction by their Dorm's Governor, they will be given a task that asks more of them than anything dealt with on Earth... Something's wrong with their graduation process. [i]It may not be coming at all![/i]
