@ Nakazumi - You're accepted. Just be weary of how powerful you have made your character and be careful not to godmod (although I'm sure you won't). Also I'll be incorporating that guy into my storyline I think, that could make things interesting.

Don't worry, I'm pretty good with toning my powers. I typically make them sound more magnificent when I describe them than they really are, or I describe possibilities that I never end up using, lol.

Kris? Sweet, lol. I had hoped to use him for Destiny's personal story arc as it was, but having him in the actual story is awesome too, lol. He also happens to be the very first character I created, and was based off of me. Although, now he's much cooler than me and much different. xD

I look forward to writing in this story, lol. d:

@heretostay123 - If you can kill people with it, yes. And you can definitely kill people with mayonnaise. xD

@heretostay - Does this mean I can expect a character with a mayonnaise obsession? That would be interesting.... Fill me in here, who is Miyamato Musashi? The name sounds kinda familiar...

Goodbye PC...for now.

Miyamato Musashi was a very successful Japanese samurai. He never lost a duel and wrote The Book of Five Rings. It's a book that tells of the martial arts. I think he was around in the 17th century. Perhaps the 16.

I'd prefer you to play as an original character of your own design than a pre-existing historical figure. That being said I'm assuming little is actually known about this guy, so if you can create a character out of him or base a character on him I'll at least be fair enough to read your SU.

I'm certainly intrigued to see how this goes. Just remember that he can't walk around on Earth dressed as a samurai without drawing unwanted attention haha

I'm glad you think so and luckily for you I have decided to add two more slots on since this RP has garnered so much attention (I will probably not be doing this again). Please get your SU in soon.

I'm also going to tell you that the first mission will have two parts with six reapers to simultaneously complete both. Is this agreeable to the rest of you?

I'm up for it, if that's what you plan to do. It introduces the characters and allows them to establish a relationship with one another, whether it's positive, negative or neutral, and possibly detail an ongoing relationship of such.

I certainly know what Destiny will be saying: ". . . (silence) . . . shut up. . . ."
lol xD

I get the feeling their will be some conflict between our characters based on their beliefs and personalities haha

I'm glad you are supportive of how I intend to go about this.

I'm alright with it. Shouldn't be a problem and it eliminates the issue of getting all the people gathered together :b

My guess is that they will be starting with a grim reaper explaining the mission to them?

Well I have considered the possibility but I'd rather start with them already on the mission. It will depend on who posts first and what they write really.

I'd like to ask about weapons again. would modern crossbows or bow and arrows and the like count as decidedly modern? This considering that they are still being used and advanced, as opposed to swords and such.

Well it depend, if any technology (such as a propellant or a laser sight) is applied to the bow then it is considered modern but if it is just a simple crossbow/bow than I see no reason for it to be included since it is really the same tool that was used thousands of years ago, but refined.

Name: Alicia "Arisu" Lovelace
Gender: Female
Physical Age: 16
Actual Age: 376

Spoiler:

*The character portrayed in this image is Alice from Pandora Hearts. She was the base for my description of Alicia, however the two characters do not share any similarities beyond names and appearance.

Appearance: Alicia carries the appearance of a youthful girl in her prime. She stands at about 5'4" and has a slender, girlish figure with curvy hips and an ample bust. Alicia's hair is jet-black and flows down to the small of her back in ringlets. Her eyes are a deep, blood-red color and her skin is very fair. Despite her complexion and hair color, Alicia is not Asian, but actually European and Spaniard. Alicia's lips are very thin and, as she hardly ever puts lipstick on, it's difficult to tell whether she's pressing her lips or not. Her fingernails are kept trimmed and painted with a shimmering, blood-red coat.

As far as attire, Alicia wears a very tight-fitting, crimson top with black buttons and long sleeves. The cuffs are black, as are the stitchings and collar. The back half of the top is of a different fabric than the front, made of leather, and consisting of a red-and-black diamond pattern. The coat top also ends with exaggerated coat tails of crimson. Alicia's skirt matches her top, being crimson in color and ornately decorated with black lace and ribbon. Her underskirt is also black lace and puffs out slightly beyond the end of the skirt. Alicia's stockings are striped and alternate between red and black. Her shoes are crimson stilettos with sharpened points.

Personality: Alicia, or Allie as she prefers, is a very sadistic and calculating Reaper. She is quick to judge an individual based on the smallest twitch, shift in vocal pattern and eye movement and is almost never wrong in her conclusions. Allie gets a kick out of playing head games with others as well. Nothing pleases her more than to leave someone utterly frustrated over a few carefully chosen words. Well, one thing does, but reaping is expected to be enjoyed.

Alicia is also a very level-headed and intellectual young woman. She never loses her temper. Ever. To some, this is unhealthy, but Allie assures them that if she ever expressed her anger, that it would likely cause the end of the world. Allie, while also keeping her emotions in check, is incredibly capable under high pressure. The idea of dead-lines, impending disaster or being late don't bother her in the slightest and all seems to work out for her in the end. Her intellect is not without praise, either. Allie's favorite past time, besides torture, is literature. She loves to lounge about and read of different theologies, the heroes of old, and even dabbles in teen fiction of the modern day.

Unlike other Reapers, Alicia doesn't much enjoy the company of humans, or visiting Earth. She finds humans to be petty creatures only focused on the short-term and lacking any sort of insight for the future. Some Reapers find this hypocritical since Alicia was a human herself, once, but the young woman is quick to say that she behaves the same way she does as a Reaper as she did in life, although she knows very little about her human life to begin with.

Weapon(s): Alicia is very fond of slicing and dicing things, so she carries around several sharp, dangerous weapons. Slung across her back, the Reaper carries a Death Scythe constructed from the metal of a fallen star and the wood of a Sakura tree. This is her preferred weapon. Alicia also carries three butterfly knives attached to the garter she wears on her right thigh. At her sides, attached to two belts that form an "X" at her waist, are two chakrams about the size of Frisbees. Each is wickedly sharp and weighted to return to the, if thrown properly.

Past Life: Alicia's past life is all but an enigma to her. Bits and pieces of her past come to her when she dreams, but Allie really doesn't know much beyond that she was born in Great Britain and that she was changed at the age of 22, despite looking 16.

Special Gifts/Talents: Alicia has a curious ability that is not common among reapers. If Alicia forces herself to expel her negative emotions, then those feelings materialize into an impenetrable shield that allows Allie to safely attack her opponents. This shield, known as the Agony Armos, gets weaker the longer Alicia keeps it up since it drains her Spiritual Energy. After a few minutes, the shield disappears completely and cannot be regenerated for six hours. In addition to her shield, Allie can also project her negativity onto others in order to influence them. And, finally, if Allie sacrifices a large portion of her Spiritual Energy, she can draw from that to solidify her negative emotions into a living creature that can serve as a separate being from Allie, or be controlled by her as an avatar. The creature's form is different depending on the emotion being drawn from and disappears approximately 15 minutes after being summoned.

Any Other Info: Alicia has a weakness for pomegranates and roses. It is out of her character to show true excitement, but she simply cannot contain herself when presented with roses or pomegranates.

RedWing your character is accepted and all I can think of with her introduction is that every other character is going to hate my guy haha! The only thing I need you to do is put some limitations on that shield before you start posting.

Name: Luka Sokolov
Gender: Male
Physical Age: 24
Actual Age: 47

Appearance: Luka is a well built man standing 5' 8". His constant exercise leaves him fairly muscular. His eyes are a dull brown and his skin is somewhat pale. He has very short dark brown hair and a fast-growing beard which he shaves only before a mission. He often wears heavy fur winter wear in both realms as it reminds him of home, the only difference being that in limbo he wears his coat's hood up.

Personality:
Luka lives how he feels his parents would have wanted him to, which coincides with what he deems as right. He believes in the ideals of truth and justice, and protecting the weak and innocent, more or less like a stock superhero. However, he is also fiercely loyal with the utmost respect for his elders and superiors. If a mission disagrees with his moral code, he reassures himself he is doing the right thing for a greater good.
When in public, he can be seen with a light smile on his face at nearly all times. He seems cheerful and mostly untroubled, as well as being quite friendly. Often, his disposition seems far too perfect to be true. It is. Luka's friends would have described him as kind, compassionate, brave, strong, trustworthy, and an abundance of other praises. He would describe himself with one word: inadequate. He always tries his hardest, but out of the fear that one day he could fail, and bad things could happen because of it. He appears to be near perfect, but in secret borders on the insane when it comes to perfecting himself to avoid that dreaded moment when fate proves that he just wasn't good enough. Incapable of convincing himself of this, Luka seeks out others to support, protect, or simply befriend in hopes that through them, he can find reassurance of himself. He seeks out what's in everyone's best interest. At times, however, he will do so whether or not the person wants it. Luka hides this side of himself the best that he can.
Luka is also very nostalgic about his former life, as seen by his wardrobe and weapon choice. He will sometimes even visit Earth and pretend that he was still human for a short time.

Weapon(s): Luka wields a modern trigger-fired crossbow with an attached scope. The weapon is the closest thing to the hunting rifle he grew up with that he could use without being a detriment to his reaper abilities. However, despite it being powerful, it is still slow to reload, so he carries a hunting sword in case of trouble.

Past Life: Luka was born and raised in Novozybkov,Russia on the border of Belarus. He often enjoyed hunting and developed a keen eye and great accuracy. His father was a technician at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and Luka had become a police officer by 20 years old. His father was present at the Chernobyl disaster, and died immediately, being at the center of the incident. Luka assisted in the evacuation of the area's residents, many of whom were already showing signs of radiation sickness. He soon learned that both he and his mother were among the sick, and badly so. He tried hiding his sickness to keep helping the relief effort, but was found out and taken to the hospital. The knowledge that many needed help, and that both he and his mother were dying, and the fact that he could do nothing about it began torturing his mind. Being religious, he would pray to God for some way to help the people around him. This consuming desire led to the development of his magical ability to control illness, something he believed to be a gift from God. He discovered it after he realized he himself was healing, and attempted to aid the other patients in the room. Realizing this was exactly what he asked for, he sought out his mother. With her on the brink of death, he attempted to use his powers only for them to have worn out from excessive use. His inability to save his mother pushed him over the edge and started his failure complex. He was convinced God had given the gift of healing to the wrong person, and he was not good enough to wield it.
For the next four years, he moved to the United States planning to study and become a doctor, to heal people even without his powers in case they ever failed again. One day he began noticing things were wrong, and felt like he was being followed. His pursuer turned out to be a monster that attacked him in an alleyway one night. The monster had demonic eyes and pale skin as well as fangs, and wouldn't die when Luka shot him. He ran, throwing what he could at the creature in the midst of his escape. He was lucky when he encountered a hobo heating up next to a bonfire inside a barrel and knocked the barrel into the beast. The flames consumed it, and not long after, he found himself having been taken to limbo.

Special Gifts/Talents: Aside from Luka's impeccable marksmanship, he has the ability to heal disease. This extends into the power to inflict a variety of illnesses onto others, but has vowed never to do so.

Any Other Info: Nope.

@Geras - Your character is accepted. This should be interesting since he is so young for a reaper, I might make use of that.

@Everyone - I'm loving these interesting abilities you guys are coming up with for your reapers. I might even have to add one to my own character later if many more of these gifts pop up (if you guys don't mind of course).

Edit: Just because I like to keep you guys guessing; the locations of the various sides of Mission 1 will be Moscow, Russia and the Saharan Desert.

Name: Nox Fenoir

Gender: Male

Physical Age: 21

Actual Age: Over 200 years old

Appearance: Nox stands at about 5'10 with a lean yet solid build and light brown skin complexion. He has long dreadlocks that hang down his back, though sometimes he keeps them tied up in a ponytail. His eyes are a grayish white color that may suggest blindness, but he isn't blind at all. For clothing he wears a forest green tshirt with cutoff sleeves that resemble a tank top, along with black cutoff cargo pants. On his feet he wears a pair of black high top sandals made of durable yet lightweight canvas material that leave his toes exposed, but otherwise cover his feet and ankles.

Although mostly hidden by his clothing, his body is covered in many tribal tattoos. His left arm is completely sleeved in a black tribal pattern, and he has various symbols on his chest and right forearm. These markings are not like normal tattoos in that they are not made of ink and therefore cannot fade, but instead these designs have been permanently branded onto his body through his own black magic. Nox also wears a chain of bones and alligator teeth around his neck.

Spoiler:


Personality: Nox is a Reaper who says little, though his deceptively calm demeanor hides much of his true nature. He has a particular liking for cruelty and revenge, and is no stranger to torture. These traits are especially noticeable through his practices in black magic. His personality as a Reaper was formed largely in part by the circumstances surrounding the 'death' of his mortal soul, though he still retains some faint connection with who he was in his past life. Nox operates in secrecy and stealth, never seeking to draw attention to himself and preferring to keep himself hidden. He is in fact a tortured being who wishes to find peace within himself, and he gets his own sense of fulfillment through carrying out his death dealings as a Reaper. Though his physical body is young, Nox has learned a lot and has acquired much knowledge within a timespan of over two centuries. He has learned to use his wits to adapt to a society that has continued to advance over time.

Although he is quite accepting of what has become of him since being reborn as a Reaper, Nox finds it difficult to live among mortals and being on Earth at times. A part of him wants for another chance at a mortal life as his own was cut short at such a young age. He hides these feelings even from himself and tries not to interact too closely with mortals, instead keeping his distance a lot of the time. In relation to other Reapers, Nox is somewhat reserved but no less violent if need be.

Weapon(s): Nox makes his own weapons, all of which are infused with black magic to make them nearly impossible to break by mortal means. His two main weapons are a pair of javelin-like bone spears, which he can collapse and expand at will for maneuverability. The bone spears are used to stab or impale enemies. They are very versatile and can be used either separately or as one when Nox fuses them together to form a four pointed bone cross as a melee weapon. When not using them, he keeps the spears collapsed to the size of throwing daggers and keeps them hidden in his hair. Aside from the spears he also has a bone scythe, which he carries on his lower back attached at his waist. The scythe itself is considerably shorter than most and made from a large femur bone with one end carrying the sharp blade and the other having the club ending commonly seen in bones that once had sockets. Because of its shorter size, he can wield the bone scythe as both a slicing and clubbing weapon to deliver faster and more precise attacks. Nox created his bone spears and bone scythe from the skeleton of the man who killed his mother.

Past Life: Nox has little knowledge of his past life long ago, most of his memories having been lost after he was reborn as a Reaper. He was born into slavery in southern Louisiana after his mother was kidnapped and brought there against her will. His mother was well known amongst the slaves as a Voodoo priest, and she brought her practices with her when she was kidnapped and later began teaching them to her son. Nox was shown to have developed some sort of gift for using the black magic to heal and assist the weak, and had made a name for himself as a well known Voodoo practitioner himself by the age of 21. As his abilities improved, he formulated a plan to use his dark magic to free himself and his mother from slavery. His mother never got her chance to escape, as she was caught practicing Voodoo by the slave master, who brutally killed her in front of Nox as punishment.

In an attempt to avenge her death, young Nox mortally wounded the slave owner and was nearly killed with a knife stabbed into his chest. Before he died he cursed the man who had killed he and his mother. In his last few moments of mortal life, he stated that he would have it no other way for not even death could keep him from getting revenge. Right before his mortal soul perished, he was brought to Limbo where he was reborn again as a Reaper.

Special Gifts/Talents: Voodoo had given Nox a wide range of abilities while mortal, but his black magic has become supernatural as a Reaper. He is able to inflict pain and cast curses, as well as summon and manipulate the physical forms of dead animal and human corpses through black magic to act as his own voodoo dolls. His tattoos are in fact powerful Voodoo curses, which he can use to conjure dark energy to torture or kill his enemies. Nox posesses a vast knowledge of poisons and seems to have an affinity for venomous creatures, especially reptiles. He is also able to transform his dreadlocks into snakes.

Any Other Info: Nox tries to keep his mind and body well rested so he meditates often, and doesn't like it when people interrupt his meditation or his sleep.
