"Well... I don't know about staying still and doing nothing." I thought aloud for everyone to hear. This was the first time I decided to speak, the rest of the time scaring me. "Maybe you should climb down and find out what's in the hall? I mean... maybe you can find out why we can't move. There has to be a reason you can and no one else can." I tried my best to explain myself. It wasn't very well put, I admit, but I thought explaining myself might help. Finding out who the evil is... and more importantly, why we can't move... are pretty high on the importance list.

Essence

As the baby sitter entered the room everyone was in, it was clear she wasn't trying to comfort the child. She took a quick look outside to make sure the mother was gone before speaking to the child. She was probably around thirty years of age, maybe younger. He voice showed more age, as it was rough and mean. "Clean up your mess here before your mother get's back. I have some work to do until then." she said. The child was angry, turned, then exited the room the way he had came before. The sound of a door slamming was heard soon after. The sitter grunted and disappeared in the opposite direction, disappearing into a door within the room everyone is in.

The current room everyone is in is actually the biggest room in the house... and not being that big, shows the size of the rest of the house. The room has no room for much furniture, other than a few chairs and a table for eating food... which are put away until needed. They probably haven't been used in years due to the current family's behaviour. There were only three adjoining rooms. The first, being the front door to the house, where the mother had left (Not much of a room.) The second, being through the door the sitter had exited into. The third is an open archway leading into a hallway,with an obvious door leading into another room seen from within our room.

<Raina>:
You... start to feel something in your arms and legs. Something twitching. No one else feels this, just you. Moments later your arms and legs work perfectly! You are able to move your head, your wings, your legs, and pretty much everything you have attached to your body! You can't fly however, as stuffed animals don't have that capability. Also due to your size, you can't open any doors. You'd need the others' help to reach them, but they can't move yet. Also sadly, there are no chairs close enough to reach the chairs either. Your only options are to explore the current room, or move into the hallway...

Hello everyone. I'm sorry I kind of disappeared after I posted this... but I didn't expect myself to get as sick as I did.

I also now realize I forgot two important rules... no controlling CPCs, or the scenery. A lot of the RP is pre-planned with specific characters (Including the child, sitter, and mother) with all pre-picked personalities. Currently what everyone has come up with is actually 100% the opposite of their personalities. Also, the first part of the RP is actually centered around on that house alone, with those three characters. I'm going to say this (Even though it's a pinch of a spoiler, but I think it's important), but our characters are stuck as stuffed animals for now. The Good Essence have picked these forms before they got there for a reason, as they are best chosen to blend in. If everyone were humans walking around the tiny hovel house, The Evil hiding within it would notice instantly.

As for the current posts PPing the NPCs, can I please ask you to edit your posts to not do that? I'm sorry... I should have explained this earlier.

Essence

I woke up among a pile of stuffed animals, dazed and confused about what was going on. A child, and her mother, came into the room and had a confusing conversation. After the conversation, the mother left the house and the child threw Raina back into the pile among everyone else. The sitter came in and tried to calm the child down, but the child shook his head and stormed back the way he had originally came. The sitter grunted, and she went back to her room... apparently not trying hard to calm the child down.

I tried moving my eyes, but it was impossible. I tried moving my limbs, but that failed too. I eventually gave up hope, and focused on what I could see. I noticed I myself was a stuffed animal of some sorts, taking in the details of my own being. I turned out to be a small wolf-dog animal. I was gray colored, with patches on white under my belly. My breed, probably a husky... but it's hard to tell, as it's probably generic.

Essence

Everyone wakens up with their senses acting up. Everyone is able to see, everyone can hear, and think. No one can move their limbs, nor even their eyes. Everyone is forced to look straight ahead, and take in whatever they happen to be facing. The room everyone is in seems massive, including over-sized furniture, gigantic windows, and doors so high it's impossible to reach the handles. Even the sounds were massively scaled. The sound of footsteps coming near were almost terrifying, not being able to respond physically in anyway. The only thing possible is to scream within your heads, or silently take in the sights as two large figures step into view.

"But moommmyyyyy! Why do you have to go to work todaaay? Can't you stay a little while and play with me?" a gigantic child said from behind the much bigger woman. The woman was dressed very formally, like for a business job. The child caught up to his mother quickly, and pulled on her skirt. "No. I don't have time to play right now. We're very tight on money, and I need to go to work so we can live. You're very lucky you have a sitter, otherwise I would just have to leave you home alone, and you know I can't do that to you." she said, turning to face him and kneeling to his level. The child ran towards everyone, picked up something, then ran back towards his mother. He was carrying a stuffed animal, and waved it at her. "Pleeease! Just a few minutes!" he begged her, but she patted him on the head and stood up. "I'm sorry, maybe you can play with your sitter when she's not busy." the mother replied. The mother turned back to the door and left the house, locking it behind her. The child was sad, and possibly a little bit angry. He tossed the animal back into the pile he had found it in... it was only at that moment did everyone realize it was Raina!

Details
Everyone is a stuffed animal, roughly the size of one foot. No one is able to move, but they can communicate through thought. Everyone is able to hear each other's thoughts, if they choose to allow the other's to hear. Everyone describe what your character looks like, such as a simple teddy bear colored brown. The feet are big, with yellow patches under the feet... or anything like that. You don't have to get overly detailed, just be sure you give enough for other's to be able to vary from yours.

I will allow people to slowly start moving under certain conditions... this is the first task for everyone to overcome, meaning teamwork is key. Don't worry, the first person able to move will be chosen after they have described their character. I have already chosen said person, before they made their app, so don't feel upset if you can't move yet. Just remember you can tell whoever is able to move your thoughts, and that may lead to them figuring out how to free everyone else sooner.

Alright everyone, here's the new thread! Please don't post in IC before I do.

New Official Thread

Essence

There is an Interest Check here.

Plot Line

In the world, there is Good, and Evil. Most beings are never purely one or the other, but there are a few that are... these beings, are known as 'Essence'. The Good Essence has multiple versions of itself, all named after their dominant traits. Bravery, Honor, Justice, Kindness, Friendship, Love, Innocence. These beings do not interfere with normal life, nor do they have actual forms themselves, being made entirely out of pure energy.

There is, however, Evil Essence in the world. This Evil Essence disrupts the world by taking form and causing chaos among mortals, who are helpless to defend themselves from the unapparent Evil lurking over them. This, is where the Good Essence comes in. They take physical form throughout time and space to defeat the Evil, though they never reveal their true selves. They stay hidden, and blend in with the rest of the community to avoid direct confrontation. Evil is stronger than Good, meaning Good is always forced to find the source of the Evil without revealing themselves, as that would lead to destruction of themselves, and banishment from the land. Death is not permanent, however, being beings of pure energy, but it does mean Evil has won the battle, and will always be prepared and will always win out should Good decide to interfere again.

Good does not always win, and during those times they never return to the same location again. Good does win sometimes, which sends vibes throughout the cosmos, letting every being of their deeds... yet, they are never thanked. After each battle, the Essences of Good forget their past battles as it would hinder them in their battles to come. The only memories they are given are those needed to survive in the lands they are in, such as general communication, walking, or skills necessary to defeat the Evil.

The plot starts elsewhere, however. At a time where Good has changed, and they are no longer as 'pure' as they have been in the past. They have come up with actual names for themselves, and claim to prefer them better than their actual names. Their pure names are no longer as powerful as they used to be, as they sometimes lie, or cower. Something within them has gone wrong, and they are starting to see memories of a certain time. They will also start to remember their most recent battles... something that should not happen. They are no longer pure, and it is this point where the story begins. They must figure out what has become of themselves, and possibly figure out how to defeat Evil once and for all. The rest, they will have to discover themselves.

Rules

1. No Powergaming. That means no controlling other characters or NPCs that you do not control.
2. No Metagaming. If someone has learned something, that does NOT mean you know it. They must tell you themselves if they wish you to know it.
3. No godmodding. If you are a child, and an adult grabs you, you can't karate chop their head off and be fine. In this RP, this rule is VERY important, because I WILL kill off characters quiet often. No one ever said defeating Evil would be easy.
4. Be nice!
5. Please, do not time warp. If you post something, you are not allowed to explore the entire house in one jump. Take a single post to examine the room. Another to explore a section of it. And another to enter another room. Don't do all of this in one post, as it leaves no room for others to explore!
6. Moderators win! No arguing.

Applications

Username: Serendipity23 | Pure Name: Bravery | Nickname: Raina

Personality: Raina is brave and outgoing. She likes to enjoy life to the fullest and is a daredevil. She is friendly to others, and likes to shake things up.

Example post: Ophelia ran awkwarly down the hall, stumbling over her high-heels and knocking over various pieces of the mistress' furniture. First day on the job, she thought as she grabbed a vase before it fell, …and the extremely large mansion loses power. I can only imagine the mess I'll have to clean up when the lights come back. She clasped her maid uniform and held it up so she wouldn't trip on it and looked around the hallway. It was empty. Ophelia immediately threw of her heels and sprinted towards the kitchen. She searched for a fusebox.

Somewhere behind her, a door creaked.

Opheia turned around and saw the door, light pouring out of the cracks. She walked over to it and opened it completely, adjusting her eyes to the bright light. The door went nowhere, just a large void of yellow and orange. She wanted to go inside, to live in this void forever. But her senses told her not to.

"Go in, curious one." a voice said.

Ophelia turned around and saw just the darkness of the kitchen. No one was there. She stepped back and started to close the door when someone shoved her into the void.

"Goodbye, curious one." the voice said, as Ophelia fell to her death.

Username: Ink-berry | Pure Name: Justice | Nickname: Alaric

Personality: "Justice", to Alaric is a very... loose term. He's most definitely the most tainted one out of the Pure, in terms of sympathy and compassion - his means of making ends meet is usually pretty dubious (although this's explained by the fact he believes justice is harsh). He'll always do the "right" thing without hesitation, though, but this also results in him just doing things blindly at times. If someone he considers to be higher than him in terms of moral righteousness tells him to kill someone, for example, he'll agree without a second thought.

Of course, being the embodiment of justice, he still tends to follow some sort of "honor" code and can be considered more naive in this respect. (Alaric also thinks of people in terms of "innocent" and "guilty" instead of "good" and "evil".) He also speaks rather awkwardly, though, which's most likely his attempt at being polite / possibly chivalrous.

Username: Teknonick | Pure Name: Innocence | Nickname: Aaron

Personality: Innocence is usually shy, avoiding most confrontations whenever possible. He is very observant, taking in the details usually overlooked by most, making him very useful whenever he's ready to share his information.

Example Post:
I continue to sit in the corner away from the action, staring at the other's in the room. Everyone is inside of a dark and depressing tavern, filled with all sorts of people. Everyone is armed to the teeth as they carry weapons on them... only myself unarmed. Luckily no one noticed me, but I noticed them. There was a fight going on in the middle of the tavern, two men staring each other down and cursing out words as fast as they could, all the while holding their hands on their hips, ready to pull out their guns and lash them at the other at the faintest hint of danger. The barkeeper ducked into a room, and later returned with a shotgun. He pumped his gun quickly, waving it at the others, and yelled at them from the safety of his counter. His voice wasn't very harsh, despite the danger his tavern was in, and the current situation. "Get out of my tavern! I don't want have to shoot any y'all. Go on! Get going now before I call the sheriff!" he yelled nervously. The other two didn't seem to pay any attention to him, as they continued their battle of words.

A young gentleman walked between the two, holding his hands towards both of them, waving them slowly as if to put their guns down through magic. "Please folks, we don't need any trouble here. Why don't we just settle this outside? I'm sure the sheriff will be here shortly." he said calmly ad slowly. He obviously had a powerful voice, though he managed to keep it sounding soft and gentle during the situation. "Forget this!" one of the men yelled. He pulled out his gun and shot past the stranger, missing his target and shattering a bottle in the background. "Why you little-" the other pulled out his gun and let loose three quick shots, the first missing and giving the other a chance to dive behind a table and flip it over. The man originally in the middle dived for the floor, and made his way to the exit, crawling his way to safety as the remaining bullets flew overhead. Other men sitting in their tables stood and drew their weapons, aiming it upon each of the attackers, though some thought it best to join the attacks as they probably had similar thoughts to their agendas.

The fight was anything but quick and clean... bullets where through every chair, several men laid on the ground wounded, and one man dead. The bullets ran out fast, forcing everyone into a fist-fighting brawl. It was only until the sheriff and his deputies showed up did the fighting stop. They didn't even have to lay a hand on their guns. Everyone just stopped. The issue was settled without a single word being spoken. The sheriff and his men took the two original outlaws with him, leaving the tavern keeper with his shotgun, all his unused bullets, and a completely destroyed tavern. I decided it was time to leave, so I got up from my spot and followed the sheriff to his department.

Username: CrazyShadowyGamer | Pure Name: Wisdom | Nickname: Kai

Personality: Friendly, Trustworthy.... sometimes, Wimpish,

Example Post:
I (Kai) was going through the woods and saw a rabbit and thought wow i really need my damn bow and an arrow or a freaking dagger or knife to kill this thing i am staving. I haven't eaten in days so i will sneak up on it through the trees and smash its head with a rock. Then i pick up a decent sized rock and get above it and i jump out of the tree with the rock above its head and smash broken skull and blood all over the grass and i get free meat. I then get out to my campsite and cook it that night then i laugh about my plan to kill it and want to do it again the nest day for lunch and dinner. I then have a great meal and go to sleep for the rest of the night.

Username: Stitches | Pure Name: Healing | Nickname: Hylia

Personality:
♫ Weak/Delicate
♫ Seemingly Apathetic (Shows very little regard for emotion and personality in herself and other people)
♫ Graceful
♫ Optimistic
♫ Fearful
♫ Somewhat independent, still relies on friends.

Healing happens to be one of the stranger essences. Whenever she manifests, she seems to retain an otherworldly sense around her - a feeling of detachment from the rest of the world. She isolates herself with the other Essences now, and focuses solely on the mission at hand. Like a flower, she will constantly bloom, but is very weak or delicate and takes wounds worse than, for example, Justice might take.

Once, she used to be bright and energetic and lively, constantly boosting the Essences' morale. She used to be excited to destroy corruption, and met many people with whom she would become friendly with; perhaps more than friends at some points, especially if the 'mission' took decades to complete. But, as time wore on, a darkness started to settle into Healing's heart - a darkness she could feel, stirring within her.

It sapped at her personality. She became cold, something incredibly graceful yet separating herself from everything else with some sort of invisible wall. She no longer whizzed around like the excited girl she used to be - she matured into an emotionless being, yet still shows signs of her steadfast, everlasting optimism - the one thing that never changed within the Essence.

In truth, Healing is fearful - she's afraid of what is to come. She demands that the other Essences call her by her pure name, she doesn't get into contact with anything else. She has become somewhat independent, almost wary of the other Essences. She retains a distance, but she still relies on her friends to comfort her on those rare moments when she needs it. Most of the time, she is thinking and pondering over fate, and what is to come.

Chapters

Stuffed Animals

So far, everyone has awoken within a house. Everyone takes on the form of stuffed animals, and have no control over their body. They can only think to one another, and stare straight ahead of themselves. Raina was the first to be messed with, as she was picked up by a child as he had tried to convince his mother to play with him. Raina was thrown back into the pile everyone else was in as everyone else was figuring out what was going in.

All accepted (Except for MarsAdept, because there's no example post, and I don't know him.), so I'm going to get that done by edited the 'fake OP' post, then make a new thread with the OOC and the first IC!

Essence

Hahaha! Okay Shadow. YOU'RE the person I thought the other guy was earlier. The app is okay, and I think good enough for this RP. You might want to start out on the easier section, but because I know you, I know your'll pick up grammar and punctuation pretty soon. But, I say you're ACCEPTED!

Alright. Sometime later today I'm going to be starting the RP! But right now, I'm going to go take a nap since I'm really sick today. I might even skip starting the RP altogether if it get's worse when I wake up.
