Business of Death

Hopefully the real thread will be up by the end of today. Thanks for your interest. Stay tuned.

Business of Death

Cool

Business of Death

Ditto. Reminds me of the Monster Hunter International series, with a good measure of Soul Eater thrown in. :D

@Otaku95

Never actually played Monster Hunter, but yeah Soul Eater is a favorite. It was originally a Soul-Eatery concept, but I tried to distancei t from that.

everything looks good so far.

Hey, hey, welcome to the Grim Reaper Society Headquarters. Glad you found the place, some people get lost for an eternity...jokes aside, let's get down to the nitty gritty. I'll update your Black Book, and then we can get you back on the streets.

~~~

Background

The Grim Reaper Society is a group as old as time itself. Almost. The Society exists to train people to become Reapers, people who enforce The Rules. When you live, you don't interfere with the lives of others. When you die, you go to heaven (or hell, or whatever you believe in.) The basics. Unfortunately, when you're dealing with people who have broken The Rules, you need a little more than a nudge in the right direction, so every Grim Reaper is gifted with the power of Voodoo (not just dolls) to make sure the Rule-Breakers get the punishment they deserve.

The Grim Reaper Society's headquarters and main base of operations is in New York, New York, located in a nonchalant office building. The door to Room 25-A only opens to those who it has opened before, or for somebody with a Special Invitation. Reapers do not apply, they are chosen, for the world does not know of the Grim Reaper Society's existence, very few believing them as an urban legend.

Lately, there have been some problems arising all across the city, and it's up to the Grim Reapers, as usual, to clean up the mess.

Necessary Jargon

impurtant werdz

Grim Reaper Society: Abbreviated to GRS. A helpful little society that enforces the Rules.

Reaper: A member of the Grim Reaper Society. Enforces the Rules, and punishes those who break them with a swift chop.

The Rules: The Rules are the guidelines of life. They are the following-

1) You must never harm the life of others.

2) You must pass through to the afterlife once yours had ended.

3) You must not help another commit one of the above.

Failure to comply with The Rules authorizes for the destruction of your soul.

Rule-Breakers: One who has broken the Rules. Breaking the Rules lets you live longer, but your soul gets turned to dust once you get caught by a Reaper, so not everything is good.

Weapon: Well, it's a weapon, duh, but not in GRS context. For a Reaper, your weapon of choice is a helpful tool to destroy souls. A solid weapon must be manufactured by the right people to work. Your weapon of choice will become imbued in voodoo, making it more powerful than a standard weapon.

Voodoo: Upon destroying a soul, Voodoo is gifted to you. Voodoo does not necessarily require dolls. It is magic, but magic specified to you. Some Reapers can shoot ice from their fingers, some can teleport. Voodoo is a powerful asset, but runs dry quickly, so it's best to take advantage of it.

Mass Reap: Basically a super move. Good for large quantities of Rule-Breakers, Anti-Reapers, and Hitmen. Like Voodoo, it is dependant on who you are- almost every Mass Reap is different. It is difficult to pull off and should only be used by B-Rank Reapers or above.

Hitmen: Rule-Breakers, but with extraordinary skill to boot, the goal of the Hitmen are to get rid of the Reapers so they can live a fulfilling life. They do take assassination contracts, but their main goal is to kill Reapers. The society is officially called the Hitmen, but Reapers call the Anti-Reapers because they are anti Reaper.

The Market: The black market, but with weapons, talismans, and souls. Moves around a lot. 110% illegal.

Believe me, I know it's a complicated world, so any questions, do ask.

Superman: Red Son [A DCAU RP]

@Agent 47 one question, is there suicide squad in this world?

@Scarescrow

I hadn't really established that. I would say yes, but not necessarily with the original Suicide Squad members.

Superman: Red Son [A DCAU RP]

Hey guys its up roleplayerguild.com/topics/167299-sup… have fun

Superman: Red Son [A DCAU RP]

Imagine a world where Superman was not the American hero. Imagine a world that is, in fact, quite the opposite of what everybody would expect.

What if Superman's spacecraft landed in Ukraine instead of Kansas? What if Superman was no longer the great American icon...but a Soviet hero?

Year: 1980
Location: Washington DC, United States

"Mr. President! Mr. President!" News reporters and journalists flocked around the podium. In the distance was the White House, an impressive building, along with the Capitol Building. Standing at the podium was a tall, stately, and bald man, wearing a suit and tie. Standing next to him was a slightly younger man, with orange hair and green eyes. Right next to the man was a woman, with long black hair and shapely figure. Men in sunglasses stood nearby, watching over the crowd, dubious stares hidden beneath their shades.

A journalist began to speak, holding a microphone to his mouth. "Today marks the inauguration of Lex Luthor, former S.T.A.R Labs employee and LexCorp founder and CEO as President of the United States of America, running with James Olson, former CIA agent. This day...hold on, he's about to speak!"

The cameras all focused on soon-to-be President Luthor as he cleared his throat, before speaking.

"Good morning, fellow Americans...today is an important day. Today is, yes, the day of my inauguration and ascension into this renowned office. But today also marks the anniversary of our official enmity against our communist enemy, the USSR. Ever since the public reveal of Superman, an alien, to be working for the Communist Party in Russia, America has delved into panic, madness. He posed a threat that we could not match. During my time on STAR Labs and as CEO of LexCorp, I have been investigating ways to defeat this enemy. And now, as President of the United States, I believe I have the tools necessary to defeat Superman and the USSR. I promise you, the American people, that we will prevail against the Soviet Union, like we have our enemies in the past."

Luthor continued to speak to the crowd, about relationships with allies that also opposed the rapid spreading of the USSR ever since Superman took the reigns, about advanced missile technology, and about domestic improvements to economically usurp the Soviet Union. However, as soon as the long inaugural speech was over, he quickly retired to the Oval Office, where he grabbed the phone and immediately made a call.

"Mrs. Waller? Yes. Begin Phase 1 of our plan. Yes, the Anti-Superman plan. We must show him the United States will not be pushed around any longer."

Location: Moscow, Russia

The man known as Superman descended from the skies, landing on a metal podium. Cheering people, all healthy and clean, surrounded him. Superman was a handsome being, slick black hair neatly parted, shining teeth. he wore a grey suit, with a red cape flowing majestically in the wind and a Soviet Union symbol plastered on his chest.

He began to speak in fluent Russian. "Brothers, sisters, today marks another day since I have led the Soviet Union. It has been a wonderful few years. And I intend for it to be just as wonderful for every passing one. Since I have led our nation, we have eliminated hunger. We have eliminated crime. We have eliminated poverty. We have eliminated unemployment." Superman did not mention they had eliminated freedom, but he felt no need to.

"Some people have questioned my loyalty to the Soviet Union." He scoffed. "Those people will serve no purpose in the future. However, I promise I will remain a firm supporter of the Soviet cause. I promise to be a champion of the gentle laborer. I promise to fight for Stalin, for socialism, and the international expansion of the Warsaw Pact." The crowd cheered.

"And if you remain loyal to me, I promise I will bring the new President and the United States down to their knees, begging for mercy from the Soviet Union!"

Guidelines

This is not a canon continuation or anything of the actual Red Son comic strip. It simply borrows the central idea and some of the characters- namely Lex Luthor, Jimmy Olson, Lois Lane/Luthor, and of course Superman. Feel free to be just about any character other than those, as long as the fit into the story. OCs are allowed- feel free to make them, so long as they fit in with the story.

No overly mature themes and please put in effort, blah blah you get the drill.

Any questions about the universe that's already established, feel free to ask.

Add stuff, but you can't take anything away. Go nuts! Just stay within reason, please.

You can take any character you'd like and reimagine them. Reimagining is good in this universe.

Have fun. ;)

((Oh and post them in the OOC before the Character one kthx)

Superman: Red Son [A DCAU RP]

@Agent 47

I'm thinking that very stereotypical Russian Experiment to make a Superhero. That obviously was raided by the Americans. Who obviously wanted this "Clone". In this case I am not using the word Clone to mean a direct clone from X to make X. I am talking more like a Test Tube superhero baby. Who then was brainwashed by good ol America.

@AngelofOctober

Sure.

<Snipped quote by Agent 47>

Hm. Okay. =^.^=

I'm going to ask an odd question: Do our characters have to be heroes? I assume since Waller is in charge some of the people would more or less be there against their will, but I don't want to assume things. But also, it's Waller, and since she's a b**** it's an easy assumption XD

@Neo Is Delight

Your characters absolutely don't have to be heroes. In fact, I would defintely want to have some not heroes in there as well.

Superman: Red Son [A DCAU RP]

I don't imagine the war being very cold if supers are duking it out.

Thinking a Powergirl character.

@Burning Kitty

Cool.

Will make the OOC later.
