[OOC] Indigo [Contemporary, Fantasy]

[ravenDivinity]

"Do not think the youth has no force because he cannot speak to you and me. Hark! in the next room, who spoke so clear and emphatic? Good Heaven! it is he! it is that very lump of bashfulness and phlegm which for weeks has done nothing but eat when you were by, that now rolls out these words like bell-strokes. It seems he knows how to speak to his contemporaries. Bashful or bold, then, he will know how to make us seniors very unnecessary." —Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance.

Sophia gave the breath of life to the chosen. Cloaked in indigo, these children were coronated with gladioli, irises, and Stars of Bethlehem, and in the temple of the West, they rose. As the earth met the stars, Sophia beckoned the chosen to their destiny, and Yaldabaoth sent forth armies on the material plane. Today is December 17th, 2014, the first day of Saturnalia and the first day of the last week of Advent. The prophecy has come to fruition, and the chosen ones disposed to gnosis by Monad shall emerge with visions. They will break the chains of the world built by sin with power from the highest heavens. They will destroy the evil in their wake, even if they destroy themselves. Shall man and chosen and evil and light converge in the final battle to end all ages. A quiet suburb will be shaken by God. The chosen will awaken.

Lore
To help further your understanding of the foundations of this roleplay, reading The Gnostic World View: A Brief Summary of Gnosticism will suffice. From there, you may learn all you need to understand Gnosticism. Gnosticism, however, shall not dictate entirely the background of the roleplay, and I have and will tweak concepts here and there to match my intentions for this roleplay. Below are some essential texts that you might find useful in your knowledge of the roleplay.

The Four Spiritual Races
The Chosen are the souls of people, claimed by the One or Yaldabaoth. Regardless of whom originally claimed them, the Chosen hold the power to decide between the One and Yaldabaoth. Upon the beginning of the end, they will be contacted by demons and angels and visions until they achieve enlightenment and must choose between the One and Yaldabaoth. Once they choose their alignment, their fate is sealed, and they will receive power gifted by the God they aligned with. The Chosen are high school students in Union Hill, Texas, a suburb of Fort Worth. You may freely play the Chosen.
The Blinded are all of the normal people in the world. They may be divided into two groups: the Free and the Chained. The Free may receive enlightenment and discern between the forces of Order and Chaos, Light and Dark, but the Chained are bound to the Darkened and the material world and shall give into the will of Yaldabaoth for eternity. You may only play the Free.
The Aeons are the various emanations of the One, the purest form of God from which pleroma, the fullness of divinity and region of light, emanates. The proposed tree models of Aeons in pleroma can be found here on Wikipedia. The One radiates his light, and he may send his Aeons forth to the material world by his command. The Aeons themselves may also command those below them in the ranks of pleroma, and the nine choirs of angels are minor Aeons distinct from the major thirty. All Aeons come in 'male-female' pairs (although they are actually spirits of great power and don't actually have gender). You may only play the minor Aeons.
The Darkened are the various depths of the darkness of Yaldabaoth. They are demons essentially, and they are neither organized nor orderly. They may manifest as people, and they are the reigning party of the material world. You may only play the minor Darkened.

Elias Corvorum Graeff

Name: Elias Corvorum Graeff
Spiritual Race: Chosen
Age: 16 - Junior
Gender: Male

Appearance: Elias's dark brown eyes, although softening and welcoming, offer a glimpse of his elusive, adamant, and defiant soul and seem so strong as to drive out demons in their wake. They are framed by brown hair so dark that it might as well be black and by a somewhat smooth yet square-jawed bone structure. His soft, supple skin is olive and unmarked with no tattoos or markings of any sort. Elias stands with good posture at an average height of 5'10" and a normal weight of roughly 150 pounds, complemented by only some hard-earned muscle and somewhat wide hips. On a regular basis, he wears Prussian blue jeans and whatever T-shirt, baseball tee, or long-sleeved shirt he pulls from the closet, and typical sensibility about the weather marks his outfits. When appropriate, he'll wear tan pants or cargo shorts, and if he's feeling fancy, he might wear a sweater or a dress shirt with rolled-up sleeves. The dashing fox in him also has a soft spot for suits and ties. A winged sword necklace around his neck has become typical of his appearance.

Personality: A solemn, shy shadow follows Elias wherever he goes, and sometimes depressed and anxious musings plague him. Beyond that, he approaches with some reluctance as he yields to those around him if their will is not against his, but in the face of manipulators and oppressors, Graeff is a free, rebellious boy in his unyielding thoughts and transcendental virtues, giving rise to philosophy and intellectualism. His deadly sin, however, is melancholic sloth and angered wrath. Elias remains fairly optimistic despite all that discourages, and he espouses wishful thinking and hope. He often tests authority that he doesn't trust whether vocally or underhandedly, and he is well-versed when he chooses to speak.

Background: Union Hill is the only home Elias has ever known although he's traveled to his immigrant mother's home in the Philippines and seen the canyons and deserts of the West from Texas to Arizona, the swamps and bogs of Louisiana, and the coast of the Gulf of Mexico from Louisiana to east Florida. The unmoving nature of his home pushes him to seek what is beyond Union Hill and the fantastical world outside the United States. More influential in his upbringing is the Roman Catholic Church, which his mother raised him under since he popped out, and even in his devotion, he breaks the norms of the Church with a deep-seated attractions to the same gender, a deviating variety of opinions that stray from their doctrines and politicized dogma, and a cursing scorn for hypocrisy and other members of the congregation, all of these divergent traits emerging from 4 years of staunch atheism. Graeff enjoys a relatively small circle of friends that balances the various aspects of his spontaneous and wildly uncontrollable personality.

Valentina "Val" Cortez

Name: Valentina “Val” Cortez
Spiritual Race: one of the Chosen
Age: Seventeen (junior in high school)
Gender: Female (cis-gender, presents androgynously)

Appearance:
The Cheat Sheet

• mesomorphic (muscular) body type -- height is 5’2” (157.5 cm), weight is 125 lbs (56.7 kg)


• sun-kissed skin that is adorned with a wide variety of scars from childhood mishaps; no tattoos; small nose piercing that is a diamond on the side of the nose and silver eyebrow piercing


• ebony ringlet curls most often kept back in a clean ponytail or bun, though sometimes also worn in braids


• coal-black in color, almond-shaped, set back neither deep nor shallow


• often seen wearing cargo pants or loose-fitting jeans (and cargo shorts on hot days), V-neck or crew neck T-shirts in solid colors, and beat-up skateboarding sneakers (sometimes also seen wearing a baseball cap outside on sunny days)

The Written Description
Valentina Cortez prefers function over fashion, which one could deduce before even meeting her. Her toned frame is kept up by working in her parents’ bakery on weekdays after school and all day on Saturdays, and her habit of tying her hair up in a ponytail, bun, or braid (an added bonus being the fact that this showed off her expressive coal-black eyes) was born out of necessity working there. Despite her somewhat short stature, she keeps up with her brothers, though she still has scars from years-forgotten fights with them and falls from trees and such. Due to being the youngest, she never really acquired a taste for femininity, so she often wears more masculine clothes, such as cargo pants, loose jeans, and cargo shorts and plain shirts with modest necklines. Val, as such, received and still receives protest from her parents and grandmother. In an act of teenage rebellion, she got both her nose and eyebrow pierced by a trusted friend. Though she is satisfied with the results, she wishes that she hadn’t rushed into the decision so much, because she got in even more trouble for it.

Personality:
The Good

• determined


• passionate


• sound moral compass

The Bad

• often makes rash decisions


• wary of authority figures


• sometimes overly sensitive


• overly emotional


• easily angered (though also quick to forgive and to expect forgiveness)

Background: Ethnically Mexican, Val had a traditional Roman Catholic upbringing from which she rebelled fairly early on, citing the intolerance demonstrated by many of those around her. Nevertheless, her family accepted her decision surprisingly well. She lives with her three older brothers (Francisco “Frankie” Cortez, 22; Pedro Cortez, 20; Ricardo “Ricky” Cortez, 19), who also work at the bakery, her parents (Maria Cortez, 37; Manuel Cortez, 40), and her maternal grandmother (Margarita Cortez, 54). She is very close to her brothers, notably Ricky, because they were her primary caretakers during childhood, despite them only having been a few years older than Val herself. All of her family was born in a border town of Tijuana, Mexico, but they moved out to Texas when Val was six years old. Nevertheless, they have retained their Mexican culture, speaking primarily Spanish at home and partaking in their traditional activities. At some point during middle school, Val noticed some attractions she had to other girls, though it wasn’t until her freshman year of high school that she came out of the closet to more people than just Ricky and some close friends. Frankie and Pedro accepted her with open arms immediately, which was important during the time during which her parents and grandmother had to adjust to the knowledge. By the end of her sophomore year, she found herself feeling more at home with her family, and the air was much less charged between them. Now she finds a comfortable rhythm and predictability in her life, though that will soon be changed.

Claude Florian Saville

Name: Claude Florian Saville
Spiritual Race: Chosen
Age: Sixteen
Gender: Male

Appearance:

Claude stands at 5'5” and he's the shortest boy in his grade. Luckily, he isn't the lankiest as he's got a swimmer's body maintained by routine visits to the pool and weighs in at 134 lbs. Always mindful of his appearance, he makes sure that he looks his best. His tawny hair is styled just so to be orderly in the back and give him a clean cut look in the front even when he ruffles his bangs into orderly chaos. His cloudy gray, upturned eyes give him a dreamy look and eye makeup, except for the occasional eye liner, is not a line he's willing to cross yet. He takes great care to keep his skin blemish free and his “peach bisque” tone intact so he rarely ventures out without sun screen or swims outdoors. Claude's never really considered getting any tattoos or piercings before, but he does think they look cool on people who have them. He enjoys wearing dark outfits with a bright colored accessory or a bright outfit with a dark accessory. The accessory tends to be one of his many neck scarves ranging from satin, silk, polyester, cashmere, whatever he can get his hands on. When the mood hits him, he wears giant hoodies and comfortable sweaters. Claude has sworn passionately that he will never wear hats because they mess up his hair, one of his best features.

Personality:
Positive

Genial; friendly and easily introduces himself to others

Self-assured; has the pride and willingness to do what he wants without faltering

Empathetic; lends an ear to anyone willing to vent and helps them out

Detail-oriented; notices abnormalities and fixes them to make the whole picture better

Negative

Vain; sometimes cares about his appearance too much

Audacious; his friendliness and extroversion seems domineering and very forward

Shameless; doesn't feel the embarrassment or flustered emotions (guilt, etc.) that he should

Meticulous; becomes obsessive in the details and doesn't know when to stop

Background:

Born and raised in Strasbourg, France Claude moved to Union Hill, Texas in his freshman year. His mother, Élise, decided that America would be a great chance to give her son opportunities he would never get if he stayed in France the rest of his life; his father, Luc, said nothing as he had been off gallivanting with different women since Claude was ten. Élise had great credentials as a successful beautician in Strasbourg and saved enough money to take her and her son to a town she pointed to on a map. In America, Claude's mother opened up her own beauty parlor in Union Hill, Texas where Claude worked and helped out in after school and on the weekends. Claude adapted better than expected and his English only had a small accent to it, but he enjoyed the chance to go to America. He was less thrilled when he learned about the area and town he would be living in. He and his mom were liberals and atheists and just so not the Christian Republican ideal of Texas. When he arrived to Union Hill's high school in freshman year, Claude garnered a large group of amicable acquaintances and became a part of a trio with his close friends, Ian and Damon. Though he's not a fan of prejudice, Claude does enjoy using stereotypes to his advantage and gets away with being uncomfortably close to people and what he's heard called “being flamboyantly gay” to which he laughs at because it's called being flamboyantly bisexual in his case.

Cairn Scribe

Name: Cairn Scribe
Spiritual Race: The Blinded
Age: 17
Gender: Male

Appearance:
Cairn's amber eyes are piercing and bright, even with the bags under his eyes, and especially in comparison to his otherwise cold and dark appearance. His somewhat long, well-kempt hair curls slightly and flows, creating an almost inky effect from its jet black coloring. Cairn's skin is extremely pale, despite being outside most of the time. Long scars are etched across the back of his neck, and there are several heavy scars on his right hand that cause it to look almost mutilated. Though he stands at a tall 6'4", he weighs only about 157 pounds and seems to be hard to notice unless you look at him. He wears a wrinkled hoodie that's an indistinguishable mix of maroon and black, along with dark grey casual sweatpants. Though his build is somewhat slender, he still has quite a bit of strength.

Personality:
Cairn, despite being dark-minded and cynical to the point of simply separating himself from most of society, is inexplicably and unwittingly kind to everyone. Caught in an infinite loop of hating himself and others, Cairn developed a stoic and impersonal facade to hide the anger that builds up inside of him. While listening to other peoples' problems can let him sympathize, trying to talk about his own causes him to quickly lose absolutely all of his cool; on several occasions, he nearly gnawed apart his hand from the anger, causing others to question how stable he was. Despite his... anger issues, Cairn is still stable enough that he can think through things logically, and most of his morals remain intact. He tends to be negative, but will endlessly support the few that he trusts. He's persistent and is dedicated to whatever he decides to do.

Background:
Though Cairn can't remember where he lived before Union Hill, he distinctly remembers his "kind" parents that sold him off into labor for work. He worked for a few years in a factory before eventually coming to understand the situation he was in. He made a plan with a few of the other slaves to escape from that place. However, they were caught because a "friend" of theirs had told the owner; Cairn had distrusted people since he was sold away, but upon seeing that traitorous person being rewarded, something inside him broke. Hitting the guard in a particularly sensitive zone, Cairn managed to break away into the wilderness. Figuring that he'd die outside, they didn't bother to chase him. However, he did. Cairn, wanting to get as far away from that place as possible, used what change he could find to ride busses south. After decided he was far away enough, he settled down in Union Hill to start a new life. He does several part-time jobs.

Thank you! I sort of half drew from my own life experiences and half from stuff that's interesting me right now, so it's nice to hear that you like her! I think Elias is pretty cool too. He's likable, but realistically unlikable too, which I like.
