Okay, I just posted for my first time ic! Hope it's not too bad, and I don't wanna confused anyone so I'm just gonna clear things up about the post. There're no cultists nearby, he's just mistaking the voices of the other characters as them. Just wanted to say that in case it was too vague or anything. Haha.
Carden stood alone, a length of rope extending from his hands. He stood beside a small tree tucked into a small alley at the edge of the town. His gloved hands fumbled with the rough rope, unable to get the knot correct. Come on, you know this! As he looked down at the rope in his hands, he began to shake violently, realizing something. He was about to die. Tears ran down his face and his resolve began to disintegrate. No, he couldn't lose his courage now! As he finished the hangman's noose, he began to think back on all that he'd gone through. It wasn't until now that the horror of it all seemed to hit him, he'd endured countless instances of torture, starvation, and unthinkable terrors, and now he was about to die?

The thought hit him like a boulder, and he lost his breath, falling to his knees. No, how dare he try to give up now? Every second that he wasted meant another person's life in danger! He was a freak, a monster, and he needed to die! It was selfish even to think otherwise! He began to sob now, his clothing getting soaked through by his own tears and he fought to keep in the oncoming darkness. He couldn't lose control now! As he stood up and began to climb the tree to fasten on the rope, he stopped. He had heard something. Not just the rustle of a wild animal, he had heard a voice. His blood ran cold. Could it be them? Could the cultists be back to haul him back into his life of endless terror? He was free now, would that end so swiftly?

That's when he realized something. He couldn't die now, he couldn't force himself to do that! Freedom was just in his grasp, there was no way he could give that up. He fell to his knees, weakened by the thought. If the cultists were here, that could only mean one thing. They knew where he was. A soft moan of terror escaped his lips and he covered his mouth. Anyone out there would of heard that for sure. What was he supposed to do? They could be on him any second, he had to act fast. He thought back to how he had escaped the cultists in the first place. The darkness. Would he have to embrace the darkness to use his powers and escape this mess? He sure couldn't fix anything by cowering here and whining, that's for sure.
Okay, I've actually created a whole new character now that's entirely different, and I've edited the new app into the old post. Could you check it out please, tell me if there's anything wrong? Thank you! :)
Oo, cool! I actually just had a whole new concept for my character's backstory, something a bit more fitting of his current state.... I'm going to change it before I start roleplaying. But as soon as I do I'll join in!
Okay, awesome! I didn't put too much detail into that app, even though I'm usually pretty thorough with them, so I may make it more detailed later on. But for now, thanks for accepting me! I'll be sure to join in when the abandoned village comes up!
Name: Carden

Age: 16

Race: Dark Human

Title(s) (optional): The accursed

Occupation (Optional):

History: Since the day he was born, Carden didn't have a chance. He was an accident, left on the streets to die by whoever was unlucky enouch to conceive him. He could of been fortunate enough to be discovered by a kind old woman or to become the life-changer of someone down on their luck, but that's not what was meant to be. He was found by the leader of a primary cult formed to spread the curse, and you can only guess what happiness they'd have with a newborn baby (Don't mean that in a creepy way, bro). Carden was the perfect test specimen, and after a partially completed ritual, he was turned into a child of darkness, the accursed. Though, I did say partially completed, and that left him with control of his own body and mind to a certain degree. Though, it wasn't easy, every second was a battle to keep the dark in, and when he failed he'd unleash wild dark power at an unpredictable degree, turning over to the dark side for a small period of time. He had to force himself to keep down the dark urges inside of him. The cultists were intrigued by how the boy responded to the dark, and how he was able to keep it in, and they kept him, to study his responses to different stimuli. Throughout his childhood they tried a variety of different things on him, from prolonged torture to long drawn out starvation. Imagine something very evil and vile, well they probably did it to him. Let's just say his childhood wasn't the happiest. They discovered that the only sure-fire way to provoke a fit of wild power and rage was to instill a deep, heartfelt emotion into him. One such as anger, dread, things like that. Countless escape/suicide attempts amounted to nothing, and Carden's life never changed. At the age of 16, the cultists took their experiments over the boundary. They used his loneliness and lack of loved ones to instill anger, and doing so caused him to enter a fit of dark so surprising that he managed to overpower the relaxed cultists and escape into the world, finally, for once, becoming free. He wandered awhile, trying to find away to escape his past, but it always came back up. Due to his dark-infused appearance, he was shunned and considered a freak, even being outright attacked in a lot of places on accusations of helping spread the curse. It was one day that he arrived at a small, abandoned village, and he realized something... he was a danger to everyone around him, a freak, and nobody wanted him nor would ever want him. He decided that it's best that he didn't live anymore, and that's where he is now... trying to pull up the courage to end his life.

Equipment And Weapons: Clothes on his back, long black hooded travelling cloak. Backpack with minimal, very low-quality provisions. A very long, thin and curved black knife that he keeps in a sheath at his waist.

Appearance: 5'11, short waist with long legs, skinny, he's obviously missed a lot of meals in his life. Lanky arms and a thin body. but if one were to see his concealed face and body, they would see long tendrils of dark slithering across is flesh, threatening to engulf his body at every second. Short, matted, and greasy light brown hair with large, piercing, and weary brown eyes full of sadness. Wears a long, black traveling cloak with the hood usually pulled up, obscuring his face. Wears a long-sleeved, overlarge white blouse belted at the waist and loose, baggy pants tucked into boots that reach above his ankles. Also wears thin cloth gloves. Underneath his clothes, where the darkness hasn't taken over, he's covered in scars and deformities.

Other things! Yay!: When he loses control to the dark, he goes on a rage and is able to project wild, raw dark energy out of his body. A stray shot of this, if it hit someone, would probably leave a terrible burn that seems to heal at a very slow pace. Could possibly injure someone severely. Depending on the nature of the energy, it can do a variety of different things to someone.
This looks really interesting! I see you all are already into the roleplay, is it too late for me to apply and join in? :o
So when we're talking about anachronism, what kind of technology would be involved? I think it sounds like a very interesting concept, but we'll need to put down a basic setting for the world. What do you guys think? Medieval-like times with advanced technology? Civil war period times? Industrial? There's a lot more, we have endless possibilities! Also, will there be any magic involved in this world? I think a really awesome concept to explore is magic being of the old world, like an extinct race which was mentioned earlier, and it's discovered in a singular way which ends up in a huge conflict for the unheard of power. I dunno, just throwing an idea in. It's all up to you guys! :3
I'd like to help if you're still looking for people, it sounds like a really interesting idea!
Ah, okay. Once that's created should I reapply on that thread?
