2010-> Life is perfectly normal. Just like what it had always been. Hectic in how people were constantly warring and fighting with each other. But that was just human nature, and it was soon to be forgiven...

In 2009, a group of odd occurrances led archeologists to believe that ancient life was somehow reaching out to warn us, but of course, being human, we were too late.

More and more obelisks rose from the sand in Egypt, and led more of the religious world into vicious turmoil. More bible-researchers began to suggest a hidden message in the old texts. Even in Hinduism, did followers proclaim having visions of a great beast. And all in all- everything was true.

2012-> The skies were black. The sun never rose. Instead, a dark shadow rose over the earth, letting a treacherous screech filter the sounds of reality out. This day, December 21st, was known as the End of the World. Because that day, all television signals and cell phone signals along with sattelites, were destroyed and distorted. TV's were now tools of the great creature that hovered over the skies: Apocalyptica.

Machines were twisted and from then on used as transmittors for Apocalyptica's desires. The human world was derailed, and thrown into a mass episode of confusion and chaos. It seemed like everyone was alone. Continents could not contact each other, even states and counties, the only contact was in person. Then- there were revolts against Apocalyptica.

People stood in numbers far beyond the thousands. They all were raged and disgusted with what was also known as The Shadow of Days to Come.
But their stand was not well held. Things went terribly, when an eye appeared in the sky, massive and bright, and everyone disappeared, without another word. Never since was a rebellion put into place. People feared the power, suicidal thoughts and actions quickly became a fad. The world had finally become a living Hell...

2022-> 10 years it has been here. 10 years without mercy or forgiveness. Much like a new God, ruling with an iron fist, and raging skies. But there is something here now. Something the real creators have put into play.

Rising from the turmoil of blood shed and killing: The Resurrections.
Falling from the past of love and law: The Omens.

The Resurrections: These are human like creatures who are never given a childhood, they are born at the ages meant for fighting [15-35]. They wield many powers, depending on the Resurrection you are in contact with. Power includes= fire, lightning, gravity, mass strength, mass speed, shape shifting, flying, teleporting, and the dark arts. These usually seek out death and destruction above anything else.

The Omens: These human like creatures are almost the opposite. They are given a childhood of the past. They live their first 15 years of life in the pretense of time before Apocalyptica came to be. Then they return, prepared for battle. They are astonishing creatures who seem to bring on a state of calm and ease when they approach humans. Their power too, depends on the Omen you come in contact with. Power includes= water, wind, earth, mass strength, mass speed, shape shifting, flying, teleporting, healing, and the light arts. They seek the rebirth of the world above anything else.

The Blessed: A fair few mortals have been born with power unlike others. Their power is of the mind and fist. (Psychic style power and also the natural ability to fight). They usually do as they please with their power, though most see it as a calling, and spend their lives trying to fight The Shadow of Days to Come.


->The World does not have much longer. New beings are being born, monstrous spawn fall from the sky, humans are being blessed. And the hovering death is tightening it's grip on Earth and it's people. Eating and feeding from the life until there will be none left. Choose yourself a character race or be a normal human caught in the crossfire. After a good few people post character sheets, in a few days I will post a new topic with the opening post. Thank you for being apart of Apocalyptica: The End of Days.<-

Here is a Character Sheet Outline, hopefully everyone knows what this looks like by now:

Bio-

---------------------------------------------------
Here is my character.
Name- Jennifer Tracy
age- 17
gender- female
race/being- The Blessed
appearence-

personality- Jennifer is quite and calm, and sometimes too wary of people. Even though she feels lonely, she doesn't prefer to be alone. She always observes everything and assesses situations well. She is very friendly, and protective over people and things she cares about. Also, Jen is highly intelligent, having spent her time reading, she knows a lot about machines and technology.

weapon- she uses a knife that her father gave her before he passed away. The handle looks slightly like a mechanical horse oddly, and the blade is long and sharp in a semi-cirlce style arc.

power- Jennifer has visions, where she sees the odd beings coming into existance. She also sees Apocalyptica in his true form. She can also create barriers, but she has a hard time controlling that power because sometimes she gets a bit scared or anxious.

bio-> Her life began normally for a middle class resident of 2022. Her family lived by working hard and being smart. But that didn't save her parents from Apocalyptica's great power. They died a few years ago, and now she lives alone. She stays in an apartment complex and makes her living by working on old radios and cell phones allowing them to be used by humans and not for Apocalyptica's bidding. But recently she has begun having dreams, visions, of a great war, the creation of beings beyond mortality, and a war of great odds where Earth will either fall, or strive, and life will begin anew.

Name-Anthony Ellis
age-15
gender-M
race/being-The Resurrections
appearence-Long, dirty blond air is usually in a ponytail. His hazel eyes are full of care and love, but when he's is angered they are full of hate and revenge. As tall as the kids his age, he's only somewhat muscular, but not to much.
weapon-Since Apocalyptica has control over machines, he dosen't use anything modern-day. Because of this, he uses various blades, hammers and axes. Right now, he currently has a claymore on his back, and a wrench in his pocket. He also carries a huge knife on his right boot half the size of his shin.
power-Pyro, and extreme strength
personality-Loving, caring, open-minded, and territorial. With the death of his family came rage, anger, and revenge. However, he usually dosen't like people when he first meets them, which means he's been alone for quite some time.
Bio-Born and raised in a small town in West Virginia, Anthony has been walking around America for shelter, food, and a group to stay with for protection. He went to a year of MMA classes, but they never came in handy when he got into fights. Anthony plots revenge against Apocalyptica every day and is convinced that he will one day acheive it.

((If anything needs changed let me know))

Name- Alice Hart
age- 16
gender- female
race/being- The Omens
appearence-
Average in height and fairly well-built, with wavy black hair, pale skin, and bright green eyes. Wears jeans and a t-shirt under floor-length black coat.
weapon- Various knives -- whatever she can get her hands on. Alice is not primarily a knife-weilder, though -- she prefers to work with what natural power she has.

power- Electricity.
personality- Sarcastic and cynical Alice is a strong, intelligent girl, but she often finds it hard to trust others and 'let people in' -- only putting faith in and confiding in a few close friends. She has a bad habit of losing control when things don't go her way/something happens that she doesn't like, and is only just starting to acknowledge and control this flaw. But if you can earn her trust, and get to know her, she's a fairly witty girl and is very loyal.
Bio- Has spent three years wandering, usually alone, through cities -- her element. Alice loves the city. She plans to bring down Apocalyptica -- and despite her love of solitude, she does not plan to do it alone. Is currently seeking for others who share her vision. Alice refuses to discuss further back into her past, and also refuses to give reasons why.

((I hope that's okay...))

Approved! Vulcan that is a good character. As said earlier, I will probably post the topic tomorrow

Everyone listen up! Good news people, I have opened the topic early. Begin as soon as I approve your character (which should never take too long), and enjoy! Here is the link-> http://www.roleplaygateway.com/apocalyptica-the-end-days-t7802.html

Thank you for signing up for Apocalyptica: The End of Days...

Name - Miles Le-Cornu
Age - 19
Gender - M
Race - The Omens
Appearance - Miles stands just over 6 foot tall. He does not appear to be overly muscular but still holds himself with great posture. He wears dark clothing that hangs loosly as if designed not to restrict his movement including a Grey T-Shirt, Black Suede Trench coat, black and baggy denim jeans and soft soled combat boots. His dark brown hair is falls as far as his neck and he as the beginings of a goatee. His deep blue eyes seem calm, but they rarely stayed fixed in one place.
Weapon - Behind his back, Miles has a specially crafted scabbard in which he can keep 2 blades hidden from sight but are accessible with great ease. At his appartment he also has a hunting rifle which his father used to go hunting with.
Power - Miles has the power to be quicker than most, his reactions are next to unmatchable which makes hand to hand combat with him costly. Although not given powers, he has the ability to blend into shadows that give an illusion of invisability, also his mannerisms and way of speach allows others around him to become more calm and at ease when in times of stress.
Personality - Not a real conversationalist, but a fantastic listener. He cares about other people more than himself and will never do anything that is not justifiable. He will always give people second chances and belives that the best way to slove a problem is by looking at every possible variable.
Bio - Miles' mother died giving birth and was the only son of his father, John. When the riots began, he saw his father killed as he tried to get Miles to safety. Since that day, Miles has tried his hardest to prevent the violence and chaos which has engulfed every day life. He must succeed, because that is his calling.

Approved, beautiful character by the way. Jump into the IC topic whenever you please

If this is still open for new charecters may I present

Name- David
age- 32
gender-M
race/being- Resurrection
appearence- standing a tall 6'6" David most distinctive features are the scars across his face, and his hollow eyes, which seem to be composed of the same kind of darkess as covers the skys, the eyes are usually covered by mirrored shades. His dirty blonde hair is kept cropped short and he openly wears an antique rifle slung across the black duster which shrouds the rest of his clothes.
weapon- Several antique guns, a colt rifle and a pair of peacemakers choosen beacause of their simple mechanisms which were impossible for the apocalyptica to control. He also carries the traditional tools of cerimonial magic, which are his true weapons, A sword, a black handled dagger, a wand, stave, chalice, and disk, all of these tools except the staff, are hung carefully on the inside of his duster.
power- The Dark Arts, David came into the world with a talent for binding the monsters which fell from the sky, and banish them from this world. He can after preparing a way to call them back, call them back to serve him, though each owes him only a particular number of favors. He may also summon and deal with them for other serviced. His magic circle when scribed and actively maintained by him is nearly impervious to any force, though he feels the stain of each attack in his mind. The void which replaces his eyes can see through illusion at the price of his own blood, it leaks from his tear ducts when he uses the power.
personality- Grim, David can't quite decide if this world is worth saving or not, but chooses to help save it, until he can make up his mind. He has a powerful innate sense of justice and honor, and will keep his word(even if he twists it a little) and stick up for the underdog in most cases. He also simply refuses to beleive in the value of money and deals strictly in barter. He's looking for something, something he know's innately he'll find in a big city, but he doesn't know what it is.
Bio- David's first memory is of shooting highway bandits, with his rifle. He apparently was born with all of his gear, and his sense of justice. He was not however born with common sense, or a wit for writing contracts. After spending a few hours with the band he rescued he began following the road towards a town, dealing with any shadow spawn, or what ever else he decided was a problem. Once he reached a town, he would help them clean up shop, deal with their issues, and then move on. He's seen the best and the worst the world have to offer, and still can't decide if existance is worth the trouble or not. His eyes were lost while he was facing a group of shadowspawn that were able to turn invisible. He made a deal with some force beyond this world to be able to see through illusion, but was unspecific as to the price. They took his eyes, and give him the voids which could see, and even pierce illusion, though he wept blood when doing do.

[[ Edit: Made a few tweaks to his profile as the char concept evolved, mostly giving him a staff, and defineing how is powers worked he's set in stone now ]]

Lextori:
Your character is fine, you may jump in when you please. And yeah, the demon thing works. I suppose it would kind of be like summoning fallen or unborn Ressurections in their raw form. Or just demons lol.
Niceness, come on in:)

IMPORTANT CHARACTER

Name- Omega (Apocalyptica's humanoid form)
age- 320005 (appears to look like he is in his twenties.)
gender- male
appearence->
BASIC FORM->

Complex Form/ Power form->

personality- cold, tormenting, ruthless, heartless, and wicked. Very manipulative and seductive when he needs to be...

Bio-> Apocalyptica had been caged for thousands upon thousands of years before he was spun across the galaxy in his rampage to feed on Earth's life. When he arrived to Earth, he took in 1 thousand bodies- soldiers and warriors and whatnot, and combined them with some of his power to make Omega, his human/demon style version of himself.
He haunts Jennifer's dreams and will soon begin to seek her and her companions when he sees the trouble that is coming...

I'm gonna need to drop out, I can't keep up with you guy's

I hope you continue to have fun, and I'll keep watching.

Feel free to kill david in some horrible manner

Kill David????? *Gasp* I dont wanna!

Well thank you for coming, and I understand that we do move at a fast pace and I think the big thing is that I am online allday, and the rest of the characters get on and off at different times so it doesn't really operate like a group lol. I might try to designate a time for everyone to get on, but that's a bit pushy and I know someone here I think isn't in the same time zone as I and some other players.

But I am sorry you must go, and I hope you see how I kill David lol.
Thanks for trying Lextori, I appreciate your effort.

Mind if I give it a try ?

Name- Rayza Fenix
age- 19
gender- Male
race/being- Blessed
appearance-
weapon-mind, 2 swords
power- Telekinesis
personality- Calm and calculative, likes to make jokes, sometimes sarcastic
Bio-Rayza´s past is a mystery to him. One day he just woke up in a room of some sort with no memories on his past what so ever but he clearly remembered his skills and abilities for some reason. He has the power to move and destroy objects just with the power of his will. He prefers close combat fighting with his swords to telekinesis but never gives up the chance to go on a destructive rampage. Since the new age technology is not very safe to use, Rayza decided to do things the old school way. He wears medieval armour though it’s made of next-gen alloys which make it lighter and more resilient. The fact that he uses his mind all the time sharpened his senses and made him mentally unbreakable.

No problem Blade-Dancer.

The story so far- Jennifer has met with all the other Omen's and Resurrections, and they have all easily sided with her. Now they are all in her apartment, and the Great Storm is coming

You need to look up and see Omega, because at this point in the story you will be making quite a bit of contact with him (He is the human/immortal incarnation of The Shadow of Days to Come)

and where can I find him ?

Omega's profile is a few posts above your in the OOC. And otherwise in the RP he cannot truly be found yet. He invades the mind and is good with illusion.
