Savior:
Winegar Academy, was once a school that trained the elite heroes so many called their idols and protectors. Now, an empty shell of its former glory, the school was closed after the fall of its final students, with only one individual surviving the slaughter. This student was known as Shadow, otherwise know as Miriah Shader. Ten years after the distraction of the school by the Exterminators the school has been reopened, with Miriah at it's head, one part instructor, one part dean, one part drunkard, the students need to be brought up to snuff to face the newest threat against humanity, the Virist infection.

Virists:
When Azoth Blue transferred his Vir to a small, unstable child, and died, he left behind a monster who could pass as evil incarnate himself. Immediately after the fall of Winegar, Damien destroyed Shafer Academy, the previous proving and training ground for the Exterminators, in a fit of crazed rage after failing to kill Miriah. He disappeared for the last ten years. He has returned however to threaten the populace with not only his Vir, the twisted supernatural parasite that gives him his power, but also a group of apprentices, each with their own Vir.
Some information: This is a spinoff/remake of a very old rp, one I haven't done in 8+ years and it's one of the best I've ever had the privilege of being a part of. My long time rp buddy and good friend, Fell, is my co GM. Any questions you have about this, you can ask either of us.

But down to business, here's a little info on key characters and events:
In the original rp, Miriah was an elite Savior student who attended Winegar academy with the Savior alias of Shadow. Azoth Blue was an Exterminator who had recently joined Shafer academy, his Exterminator alias was Kylar Stern. While in their true identities, Azoth and Miriah had a relationship together, not knowing who the other was in the other half of their lives and often engaging in fights while they were in their Savior and Exterminator aliases. As time went on, Miriah was forced to reveal to Azoth that she was a Savior, still not knowing Azoth is Kylar Stern. Azoth, now knowing who Miriah is, would isolate her from the main fight in order to be her only opponent because he knew he could not truly harm her. It was during one of these fights that Miriah knocked off Kylar's mask, discovering that Azoth was and Exterminator. Heartbroken that the man she loves is her enemy, she rejects Azoth and enters a state of depression. Shortly after his identity was revealed to Miriah and she rejected him, Azoth decided to pass on his Vir to another. The one Azoth chose to pass the Vir to was a young child who lived in the nearby orphanage, this child's name was Damien. Upon transferring the Vir, Azoth was to have died, the parasitic Vir no longer sustaining him. Miriah did try and speak with Azoth again, still in love with him but is told by the Exterminators that he was already dead. When Damien encountered Miriah during their first fight, he taunted her and called her his mother, stating that Azoth was his father, since it was Miriah who rejected Azoth and caused Azoth to give the Vir to Damien, thus creating the villain.

It's at this point that the rp had ended/I can't remember anymore, but after talking with Fell, a plot has developed. Winegar was attacked and destroyed along with the original Saviors with the exception of Miriah/Shadow. Most of the original Exterminators and their school are also gone, the exception being Damien and some possible surprise characters later on. This is a setting that takes place about 10 years after the fall of both schools, Miriah is a depressed and embittered woman who is a severe alcoholic but is called in to whip the new Winegar students into shape to face a new threat.

Damien, who had for the past few years been silent has revealed himself once more, now however he has come with acolytes, individuals he has chosen an given the Vir to. These individuals are powerful and diverse, and it is up to the newest crop of Saviors to pull together and save the world from the horrors caused by the Vir.
Mariah will be a bitch, she will push characters and probably your own patience to the limits. By all means, this should be a very intense rp when Miriah is teaching classes and you will be told if there is something about your character that is unacceptable both in or out of the rp. There will be no exceptions. And if I see one person with a character that displays Gary/Mary Stu attitudes or mannerisms, change it or leave. There can be relationships between characters, if you do make plans for this to happen between a Savior and an Exterminator, then be aware that it will lead into difficult situations. Now onto the rules.

Damien will be psychotic, crazy, and all around sadistic, with just a touch of cult leader-ish charm, and sociopathic wiles. The Virists however don't have to be, Fell is in charge of selecting and approving who's characters are approved to be villains, and he won't be easy about it. If you want a villain make them creative, brilliant, stable in unstable ways, and deep intricate characters with abilities to match. Please fill out the character sheet, then send them to Fell for approval. *VERY IMPORTANT* If this rule (for virists only) is ignored then without question the individuals who ignore this rule will be rejected from the Vir side utterly.

Rules:
1) You must read the entire thing. I know it's long and I know it's tedious but it depends on your ability to understand this roleplay.
2) No GodModders. Really? I need to explain this?
3) Despite this being in X Roleplay, you may post however long you want (excluding one liners) but you absolutely must use proper grammar and spelling. Come on people, spell check is your friend.
4) To accompany rule three make your posts worth something, that is to say don't have a seventeen paragraph post only saying what the character had or breakfast, but don't try an slide by with 'they ate eggs' and be done with it. Have some respect for your character, your rp mates, and their characters.
5) The GM's may at any point add or alter rules here, and reserve the right at any point to change them.
6) Use your common sense.

Appearance:

History: Damien's past is unknown to most, though with much digging it is a matter of public record that when he was only two and a half years old his parents were both murdered, throats slit, in their bed. The bodies were found with Damien sitting in between them, the child's body bathed in blood. Of course due to his young age the boy was never suspected. The murderer had appeared to have used one of the kitchen knives, and was either wearing gloves, or wiped away his prints.
With his parents dead Damien was taken in to an orphanage which, after his arrival, had a string of mysterious disappearances and unexplainable deaths follow. By the age of six the boy had a body count of over thirty, and it would only grow from there, for when he was six, Damien met someone who would change his life forever. Azoth Blue entered the orphanage and without a word he placed his had on Damien's brow. The dark tattoos that covered the mans body completely swirled and, with a hunger, lurched into him, forming two black diamond shaped crystals in his hands and turning his eyes, from pupil to iris to sclera completely black, then fading away. Azoth then left the building disappearing. He is presumed to be dead.
After being infected with the Vir, Damien went on to become a monstrous exterminator, however during the final battle he failed to kill Miriah, and in his rage, though the Exterminators were victorious, he slaughtered them all, and disappeared. What he has been doing up until now is completely a mystery however it is clear that he is coming back with a vengeance.

Name: Samuel Miller
Age: 16
Savior/Virist: Virist
Savior/Virist Name: The Black Death, or just Death
Appearance:


Minus the earrings and cross necklace, though he does wear a cross it is a small wooden one.
History: Samuel is the son of an southern baptist preacher. Now the typical Gary Sue in this situation would have been beaten by his mad father over the loss of his mother, quiet the opposite however, as Samuel's father was good to him, sparing the rod but enforcing good morals, and upstanding values in his son. Samuel grew up in a house undivided by atrocity, and was well on his way to becoming a minister, just like his father before him. Samuel never drank, never went to the parties his friends at school would throw, and never even really admonished them for breaking rules, he simply was a shepherd, a leader example, not one who lead his flock with harsh condemnations, but gentle love, acceptance, understanding, forgiveness and compassion.
Then when Samuel was fourteen something awful happened in his little southern town. Kids from the high school began to go missing. Some of them never came back, others well their flesh returned, but inside they were all monsters. They began killing without order or precedent darkness so thick in their souls it shone in their eyes, until one day, his father disappeared from the house. Only his father returned that night, covered in blood. Samuel rushed out to help him, but to late Samuel saw the wicked smile on his fathers lips, then in one quick movement his father rammed a rusty knife into Samuels stomach. The pain was incredible, like nothing he had ever experienced and his father simply laughed, like a man devoid of sense.
It was then that the man with the truly black eyes appeared. "So you are the one it calls to. My name is Damien." With a casual flick of his wrists Damien snapped Samuel's father's neck. "I can save you, you know. In more ways then you might imagine." Then Samuel lost consciousness. When he next awoke he had a black circle where the knife had gone in his stomach, and from that circle two lines went up tracing around his arms, ending on the top of both hands. On his right hand is what looks like a gateway of some kind, and on his left (his dominate hand) a single sword wreathed in fire and chains. But that wasn't all that had changed, no, not only was there darkness on his skin, Samuel could feel the Darkness in his soul.
Ability: He can create creatures he calls Wraths of which there are four variants, as well as control and manipulate a black fire, chains and swords with his Vir
