I would post, but I have to wait at least one more person. One person that could very well be someone we all like, right, @McFazzer?

"A heartbeat that lasts for an endless time, human lives consumed in soundless fireballs. No one notices when the world is displaced and the flames of the Crimson World burn down everything..."
Alastor, The Flame of Heaven




-Intro-


What if, one day, you were told that you are already dead? Just an empty cask, a flickering flame that sooner or later is going to be snuffed and, once it's, no one will ever remember that you existed? No family, no friends, even your most beloved ones will ever notice you were gone. The very world will adapt to your cessation of existence, bank accounts will be gone, your room or house will be clean of any personal belongings you ever had, photos will have your presence erased from them, so on, so forth...

The reason for this is simple, you are one of the many individuals known as Torches, mere reflections of an existence long since gone, a human being whose Power of Existence, the thing that makes you be, was devoured by a Crimson Lord and you didn't even noticed, nor did anyone else. Torches exist because the reality can't handle a subtle change like a whole existence simply disappearing out of the blue. It would cause damage to the world much like when the air trying to fill the vacuum left by an explosive detonation causes even more damage to all that was left behind.

Then you ask, what is a Crimson Lord and how did it stole your life without anyone noticing? Well, Crimson Lords are the rulers of the Crimson World, a parallel reality to our own whose beings live on Power of Existence and regularly come to our world to feed on the defenseless human beings whose great numbers turn them into an abundant source of nourishment for the Denizens of the Crimson World. To go unnoticed, trying to avoid the eyes of their natural enemies, the Flame Haze, the Crimson Denizens and their Lords set up Seals that dislodge a part of the Human World to a state where it's neither in one or the other world, a timeless void where (in the time you would take to blink an eye) they can feast on people's Power of Existence and, once they are gone all that's left behind are empty casks that would pop out of existence as soon as the Seal is undone, causing untold disasters.

To prevent this, preserving the natural balance of the world by creating Torches out of the remnants of Power of Existence left behind by the Denizens' "meals", and hunt down the rogue Crimson Denizens, the Flame Haze exist. All Flame Haze were humans one day, but for a reason or another they forged a contract with one of the powerful Crimson Lords that swore to uphold the balance of the world, after their ancestors’ foolishness almost caused the destruction of both worlds. Once the contract is formed, a human being ceases to age and will become much stronger and more resilient than their former selves, by learning how to tap on both theirs and their Crimson Lords' powers, while the Crimson Lord gets a steady flow of Power of Existence without the need to hunt down humans. It's a two-way deal, where both parts benefits, thereby it's no surprise that both the Flame Haze and their Crimson Lords are extremely protective of one another.

This shadow war between Flame Haze and the Crimson Denizens has been going for millennia and now that you know about all this, it's your chance to make a difference, to promote change (for good or ill), to bring the battle back to the faces of the Crimson Lords and... maybe end this conflict once and for all.

The time has come. Light your fire and be ready to fight!

-Story-


Welcome to this RP based on a series that holds a spot on the heart of many anime and light novel fans, Shakugan no Shana, the tale of eternal battle between the Flame Haze, and the Denizens of the Crimson World.

First of all, I would like to thank you all who took the time to read all of this, whether you consider joining this RP or not, I’m already glad. Now, let’s talk about the important bits, what exactly this RP entails? Well, the immediate answer is the same as that on any RP, that is, whatever kind of story both you and I are willing to weave together. To be more specific, this story will take place in an alternate universe to the canon series where we will have more liberty at what to do, instead of simply tailing the novels/anime plot.

While most canon characters and events will retain their characteristics that we all know and like, some changes may occur that will differentiate this AU from the base story; the possibility of crossing over with some of the canon cast exists and will happen for sure if the RP lasts long enough, but on the beginning, our story will be our own.

-Characters-


For this RP, our characters will be part of a group of Flame Haze sent to take down a powerful Crimson Lord, hidden somewhere on Boston, that is gathering an awful lot of Power of Existence without a known purpose and has been attracting the attention of the Flame Haze leadership for months even dealing with a couple of previous attempts of taking it down. The mission is simple, find Crimson Lord and stop it, no matter the cost.

You can also choose to play as a Torch, though this is unadvisable because of the ultimate fate that awaits every Torch, or even as a normal human, which is even less recommended thanks to the fact that humans are completely helpless against even the most basic Rinne; if they get in a situation where their destruction is unavoidable, so be it, I’ll not spare anyone do seek death with their own hands. As such these types of characters are better left as NPCs, or at most as sidekicks to a Flame Haze main character, just be reasonable, if you wish to go this way.

Players will also control their Flame Hazes’ Crimson Lords whether they are the silent type or true chatterboxes it’s up to you.

-Rules-

• No Godmoding, Mary Sues, Drama Queens and such.

• No OOC fighting.

• Post your Character Sheets on the OOC, for evaluation.

• Be reasonable when fighting IC (no auto hitting/ infinite dodging, no killing/ harming someone else's character without their permission and all that).

• Be cordial. Respect other people and you will be treated equally, not and we will have to ask you to leave, kindly.

• Please respect all of the GMs. We should be the final arbiters of any dispute.

• Follow the Guild's rules for content/language. Take any improper material to PMs, please.

• Keep your IC posts at a minimum length of one paragraph and please try to write as well as you can. We know that English is not everyone's main language, but that's no excuse to being negligent.

• Although there is no strict posting order, please do not spam posts. Wait at least until two people have gone before you before posting again.

• If you're going to leave for an extended period of time, or drop the RP, please let us know. We might be become a little sad because of it but we will respect your choice, but leaving without prior notice causes unneeded distress for all the other players.

• Everyone will be allowed a maximum of one character. This number can be expanded later, depending on the story's needs.

• And finally... Have fun! Because that's what we are here for, right?

*Feel free to play with the formatting however you like, just keep it readable, please. Fill only the spaces that matter for your character, e.g.: Torches don't have a Crimson Lord, so you can omit that part of the CS.


@KoL

You are really liking that face, huh?


*Denies everything...* "I don't know what you're talking about, heh!"

@Mega Birb

He's ok now. You can move him to the CS tab and post whenever you want to.

Eclipse Princess


BGM


For once things were good for Eris, she was having her share of battle, fulfilling the desire deep within her heart of indulging in the thrill of a fight where something of significance was at stake, even though by this time she had realized that probably her theories were wrong… “Still, indulging in this kind of power is good, too good. The fear on their eyes is addictive; I just ca- What!?” Eris was so lost in her thoughts that she didn’t even noticed when Nies sneaked upon her and delivered a shy hug right in front of the horde of outlaws, before retreating while asking Eclipse Princess to stay alive.

“Cas-, no, Nies, I…” Eclipse Princess reached for the retreating form of Nies, but barely had time to begin saying whatever words were stuck on her throat before a couple of Outlaws though that they could capitalize on her distraction, if they targeted Nies. They tried to slip by Eclipse Princess defensive line, one of them jumping over her head and the other tumbling bellow Eclipse Princess’ sword, both aiming their attacks at the free EXP that a defenseless healer represented, just… “Where do you think you are going?” Eclipse princess said with in a cold monotone, before swinging her sword’s flat side to hit the tumbling rogue, spinning her body in an upward slash to catch the other miscreant and, “Trash like you…” using the momentum throw the two at the rest of the Outlaw army like living cannonballs “… should remain with the rest of the heap!”

Again, again and again Eclipse Princess hacked and slashed, crushing the Outlaws that tried to break through her, the ever growing grin on her lips showing that once more she let the banquet of violence erase the doubts within her mind. When Nix arrived beside her, Eclipse Princess was already too lost on her thoughts of massacre, her teeth bared like an animal, a true Berserker, indeed. “Arghh!” Princess barely managed to avoid decapitating the golden skulled rogue once he came out of stealth, instead turning the swing to bisect another Outlaw that has creeped behind Nix, ready to stab at him. A suitable payback for Nix shooting down one of the targets that tried to sneak attack Eclipse Princess.

Eclipse Princess acknowledged Nix’s comment with a nod and, “So, you came. Serve yourself, there’s enough scum to both of us” before continuing to hack away Outlaws after Outlaw while destroying one of their canons with her Spatial Collapse. Princess received the replies of both some Sweepers, including Arms Slave and Paper Moon, but didn’t had the time to reply to them, except for a certain piece of trash that thought of himself as funny:

From: Eclipse Princess

To: Arms Slave

Subject: -

Very funny, piece of worthless trash. I hope you have dental insurance, because when I’m done here you’ll be getting a mouth full of my gauntlet, even if I have to get an Outlaw declaration to do so.


And so the battle at the Black Gate continued. It was time to dive into the fireworks

* * *


Meanwhile, inside the Back City, the Dissolutions that were hunting Corpse Collector finally caught up with the group of players reunited around their mark and became confused with the number of extra targets, even so their goal remained to get to and kill Corpse Collector, except that…

Arrows coming from nowhere hit four of them and caused their agro to shift to Stab~Staberson and Devilish Hellflame. If they just turned to the source of the arrows they would see that it was a high building and a white cyborg-like avatar stood there with an energy bow for a moment before disappearance again, leaving the two newcomers to deal with four rogue Dissolutions on their own while the other three sought to attack Corpse Collector who was even now talking with Smitten Kitten.

The Black King was not there to save any of them, that’s the message Stark Zealot’s arrows seemed to carry.
