"I can't." The voice was broken, a whimper at most. Kneeling over the porcelain ice of the hotel toilet bowl was a young woman, beautiful, early twenties. She had chocolate hair, toppling in curls and spirals down her back, and clinging to the sides of her face as tears rolled down. Drip by drip, these burning tears hit the water beneath her.

No is not the answer.

The voice that had responded to her was not human. It was dark, deceptive, lined with agony and sharply etched with admonishment. Behind her, lingered a tall dark figure. His body seemed to spiral off into whirls of black smoke, holding sounds of tornadoes silently captive within them. The tiny whistles from his body's barely defined form seemed to drive the woman insane. Her eyes squeezed shut, and more tears fell into the water beneath her. Feeling a surge in her throat, she parted her lips and spit up the warm liquid that tasted far too strongly of iron.

Cracking her eyes open, beneath her spiraled red. As the color intoxicated the water, she felt panic diminish her sense of reality. Clouding her logic, she had no other options.

"I'll do it!" Lexi choked, gasping over the toilet bowl as her grip on its rim tightened ten fold. Her tan arms shivered with pain, and her mind buckled with impossibility, if not insanity.

The figure lean closer, becoming a bit more humanoid as it leered towards her ear. Lips formed, and a face, more handsome and glorious than the angels on fresco ceilings within the heart of Italy. The lips were hot, burning, almost marring Lexi's ear- at least she thought they would mar her.

"Then it is done. You've signed away your soul" He said.

Reaching over her, pressing the now forming body of a Greek God against her back, he grasped her hand. Lifting it in his jaunty callous fingers, he pressed it to those hot lips. Lexi relaxed into the grip, as the man's other bare arm slid around her waist and pulled her closer to this burning inferno of a man. As she sat there, closing her eyes and gasping for breath like a drowning victim of the ocean's rage, she felt his sharp but normal canines pressing into her finger. Lexi bucked her arm back and tried to smack him off, as if he were a fly. But no fly could resist like this. His body withstood the blow as though it were nothing. The bite began to intensify, fear bellowing into Lexi's veins like a terrible adrenaline rush. She parted her lips to scream, but her finger's flesh was broken. And his tongue flicked over the wound, and he began to taste her blood.

Lexi bucked back once more, this time her whole body with the toilet bowl as her standing pillar. She reeled back against him until she could no longer move. After a moment, she felt her essence- her very reason- leaving through that fingertip, being sipped up by this demon. Soon, she was limp against his nude form, resting her head against his washboard abs, staring up at the blue eyes that could promise heaven, and gave her hell.

"I'll see you soon, Alexis Martinez." He spoke with a gentle tone, stroking his fingers through her spirals of hair. She closed her eyes and groaned in resistance as he laid her head against the cold tiled floor. Staring up, his body became that wisping black enigma, only to burst into a thousand strange strings that dispersed through the air until completely unseen.

"What have I done?" She whispered, staring at the small black cut on her fingertip...

Welcome!

Let's begin.

This roleplay takes place in 2021. Things are pretty much the same, except most energy sources have changed. Fossil fuels are now only for cars and traveling. Power and heating are found through massive wind farms, solar grids, and a new source- geo-power. A new name given to the power weilded by molten heat deep under the earth's crust.

Otherwise, like said, things are pretty good. But lately, more people have turned away from religion. Away from any kind of faith. Sin runs rampant, and it is not exactly a good thing.
An old race of demon has been reborn to the world, and it is beginning its wicked rule..

The Incubus [male] or Succubus [female] demons seek the opposite sex and feed from their sexual energies- or at least that was how things use to be. Now, these demons create friendships and acquiantances- usually based upon a strong attraction or deceptive affair- to lure their opposite sex inwards. Upon finding a fitting person, they take their soul completely. Once having that person willingly surrender their soul, that person is no longer human...

These people are called Poppets. They are just bodies, that function and act based on intricate memory patterns and powerful dreams. They wander the world, and are tricked by their creators into killing and deriving from others as they have been derived. But they are mostly known for use. They use others for sex, comfort, money, then discard them.


--

The Poppets have the power to find and see other Incubi and Succubi. With this, they have also began to see another race...

This race is the Vigilant. The Vigilant is a growing group of humans who have new souls gifted with great ominous wisdom and power. These humans are hidden through society for many centuries, and are just beginning to uprise. They are almost immortal, and have just recently began to see their powers starting to flourish.
Their powers include the ability to teleport and phase into a soul form that is suitable for combat on the Astral level.

---------------------------------------------------------

BASICALLY-

The Vigilants notice that more and more Poppets are floating about sorrowfully, and decide to initiate war upon the demon Incubi and Succubi. Upon such a discovery, the world is thrown into the Astral Level- a parallel version of the world where only these three races- and the humans that know too much- roam. When caught in this realm captivated by the oncoming darkness, the war begins. And the only way for the Poppets to be freed, is for their corresponding demons to be murdered. So, you get the point.

------------------------------------------------------

EXTRA INFORMATION----


ASCENSION---

The ascension is what happens when all the Incubi and Succubi use their collective array of gathered souls to open a connecting gate to the Astral Level of Earth. Here, they shall all pass, and become trapped. In this realm, Incubi/Succubi show their true forms. They're true power is most prevalent. These demons have the supreme power for fighting, speed, and teleportation.
As well, Viginlants hold a grand power here. Here in this Astral Level, their souls can phase from that projection of what they look like in the physical world, into a form that will be explained momentarily...
The Humans still seem human, their souls project them as solids and they hold shape and clothes still.
Poppets, on the other hand, will appear like ghosts/apparitions. They have no souls, so here, they are faint images of pale realism, seeming translucent and untouchable though they are tangible.


THE VIGILANT SPIRIT FORM---

These forms hold a set of wings, feathered, and sharp. They seem to shimmer and glisten, appearing metallic. Other details are up to you- such as color, length, magnitude, width.
Their eyes give off a solid glow of their auric form. Which means, the color depends on their emotion. When emotionless, or normal in attitude in this form, their eyes shimmer all colors over black (like oil).
Their weapons are handheld, and cannot include guns.
They as well, are allowed one power each, but I do believe I have explained this. As long as it doesn't godmod.




THE LEGEND OF INCUBI AND SUCCUBI:

Many centuries ago, when man first proved himself sinful, demons were born. Lucifer and his closer demons in his high ranks, decided to create a race of demon to exhibit man's most primal and lusty of sins. So Lucifer reached into his chest, and pulled from it, the ashes of damnation.
Leviathon reached into his mouth, and pulled out his tongue- one of great deception.
Venith reached in his waist, and withdrew writhing lust and desire.
And Lucifer plucked from Hell's gate, a beautiful red rose...

These three demons cast these four sacrifices deep into the Inferno's lowest level. There, these things toiled and effervesced, until finally, beings rose from them. These beings. Their bodies were perfect; inflicting desire with just looks alone. They were the epitome of sin, by their lusty action and sultry voices. Their every whim was made by the need for sex and sexual energy.

Thus Lucifer was pleased. He smiled upon them, and wrapped them in heat in the boiler of Hell. There, they were raised to the surface, with the Earthlings...

At first, these beings could only be seen by the ancient gypsies and incarnated angels. And in this form, they could only force themselves into mortal dreams, fulfilling mental fantasies that singed a man/woman's presence until they surrendered their energies.
But as time elapsed, they grew more powerful.

In the 17th century, the Incubi and Succubi gained physical form. With this glorious body, they saught ten fold the amount of sexual deviation. And their plagues ravaged earth in some of the most memorable sex scandals, and some of the most secretive affairs, known to man...

In the time passing though, since dawn of these devilish demons of desire, there was another race- dormant and solitary.

God had looked down, and saw Lucifer's plotting. But he could not break into a war over simple sexual heathens, thus he withheld himself. But another great Archangel stood by, at the Lord's side, and whispered a great plan into his ear. To create the future's weapon, and let it learn in the waking of years before attack is to begin.

So God decided to make his own opposing concotion.

God took from his chest, love that was unriveled by even the most poetic of romantics.
The Archangel Leonardo took from his mind, observation and wisdom.
The Archangel Luke took from his chest, trust and loyalty.
The Archangel Michaelangelo took from his arm, irrevocable strength and passion.

God sent his concotion into the highest breaches of Heaven, and let them twist with the pure white of the clouds. When the souls of rainbow magnificence and purity were formed, they dropped down from the heavens into the immortal bodies awaiting them on Earth.

God's force had been created...

----------

Upon the 21st century's turning, Incubi and Succubi learned a new trade. They learned deception. How to befriend and betray, how to get close. And when they got close to someone's heart, they felt the most unimaginable feeling- a taste of something they had never dreamt before. They could sense the flourishing souls in the prime of happiness.

Thus, more and more got close to these people's souls, seeking their happiness. But the euphoric high of being around that soul was not enough. They learned to take it. To make a mortal willingly surrender that soul to them for whatever price. And thus, it begun.
The rise of the Incubi and Succubi in new proportions.

The soul-less bodies they created, called Poppets, then wandered the Earth; said to be shells of themselves, hollow and acting on impetuous misdemeanor accidently when they had no conscious.
And when the Poppets began to wander, searching for their past selves...

They found the Vigilants..

And the preparation for a great war has begun...

Ooh, I would much like to join. Hope you don't mind a human ^.^
And I don't know what humans should be like, I hope this is alright with you.

Name: Nicollette Bristol
Age: 23
Gender: Female
What do you know of INCUBI/SUCCUBI/POPPETS and why?- Books, stories, rumors; mostly the first, through books. She knows how the Incubi and Succubi work and what too look for to find their 'puppets' as she calls them, thought she does know, through the rumors and stories, that they are called poppets, she thinks it is fitting, a word similar to 'puppet'. She has read nearly ever book she could find about them, learning things a normal human wouldn't be able to comprehend, let alone believe.
Appearance:
Long messily layered, messy mixture of honey brown, chocolate brown, and sun bleached platinum blonde hair frames her heart shaped face in a feminine way, unevenly cut bangs falling into her wide almond shaped emerald eyes, the left a solid green and the right having a small burst of honey brown, that matches her hair, around the pupil. Her piercing eyes are surrounded by thick black lashes, something she always disliked, as well as her defined cheek bones, and beauty mark just under the outside of her right eye. Her skin is a tanned beige, with ivory tan lines in odd places, from being out in the sun constantly. She reaches 5'4" and is built between a gymnast and track runner. Thickly muscled thighs, strong calves, yet thin toned arms with a flat toned stomach and an oddly small waist.
Attire:
She wears long form fitting, though only just slightly baggie, faded ripped up jeans that expose both her knees and spots of her legs, the left more then the right from wearing them constantly, that were the "in" thing back in 2007/2008. Her top consists of a pure white swim suit top that ties behind her neck and back under a black corset that laces up in the back, making her already oddly small waist look smaller. She wears a fingerless glove on her left hand and multiple studded bracelets on her right wrist. Around her neck she wears a pure silver chain with a large sea shell hanging from it, reaching just under her collar bone. In her tri-colored hair is multiple black ribbons braided into random spots of her elbow length mane. On her feet are a simple pair of worn combat boots that her jeans drag over, one with white laces, the other with purple.
Short Bio:
Her life growing up was pretty normal. Religious 'bullshit' pushed upon her, over protective parents, no friends, the works. While with her father they were in an accident, her father dieing and loosing her left eye. Because of the advanced technology in the recent years she had a artificial eye made to replace her lost one, giving both her eyes sight once again after a few years of blindness in her left eye. Becoming used to her new eye she grew interested in demons, mostly Incubi and Succubi. She learned things that would make most humans put the book down, and pray. It didn't bother her the least bit. Maybe it was all the force-fed religion that made her take the turn to sin, maybe not? But one thing was for sure, she was fascinated with meeting an Incubi.
Other:
Always found with a pack of cigarettes. Stubborn and doesn't like authority she enjoys gymnastics, dance, and running. She has also trained in Tae Kwon Do, but only to a 1st degree black belt when she could've gone futher. Clumsy when not in spot light and argumentative to most people, yet when befriended is fiercely loyal and protective. She has multiple piercings, the left side of her nose, right eye brow, snake bites in her lower lip, her tongue, her right lobe x3 her let x3, her right cartilage x2 and her left x3 as well as her belly button and a surface piercing on each hip.

Anything you want me to change or add?

By the way: You can only have up to two characters. You can have small time side characters though.

Ex.: Main character is John. side characters; Jacob and Rick...

John slid through the door, ready for his guitar's purchase. There, in the long stretch of the instrument shop, stood his two best friends: Jacob and Rick. Rick brushed his hand over his face as Jacob raced forward. It had been since high school since they last met.

"Aye John! I missed you... Have you come to finally get that guitar you've been talkin' so much about?" He said cheerfully.

John nodded softly, letting his eyes wander to the many shelves....

------------------------

Get my point?


My characters!

POPPET:

Name- Alexis Martinez

Age- 23

Gender- female

Reason for Signing Away Soul- being tricked into a false love, she thought she had finally found both passion and romance. But seeing soon that he was not what he seemed, she was forced to surrender her soul- or die from a poison Damon had intoxicated her with.

Appearance- Standing a lean 5'7, she has a latino tan that always seems to glow upon her body. She has a few select tattoos about her, but they are not great nor massive. She has long flowing chocolate hair that is naturally wavy, but she curls it and scrunches it. As well, her eyes are a rich deep umber, and her smile is well performed by lush lips. Her face is softly angled, and nicely set. But now that she is a Poppet, she almost looks hollow, or sad.

Short Bio- Lexi leads a nice life, living as a scientist for microbiology. She just got out of college, and moved to the mountains of Tennessee to a small laboratory to continue her research. There, she met a mystical man by the name of Damon Rathers, who stole both her heart, and her soul.

Other- In her past-times, she plays a guitar and sings. As well, ever since losing her soul, she has began studying a more spiritual science in search of answers.





INCUBUS

Name- Damon Rathers

Age- appears mid-twenties, actually 204.

Gender/Race- Incubus/male

Demon Trait- he has a specific charm about him, and chooses to go after girls who are stubborn and adamant.

Appearence-

Short Bio- Damon was born in the fires of Hell, just as any Incubus/Succubus. There, he was taught and trained until his body matured to its physical perfection. Once at this point, he was sent to earth. There he lurked, stealing hearts and energy by seducing women. But as of recently, he has been gaining a new power, that to steal souls from the willing.
Thus, he began to chase after a beautiful scientist named Dr. Martinez. She fell for him after a little bit of chase, and he was in. Poisoning her, he only gave her one option of survival- sign her soul.

Other- Being a demon, he has good fighting skills, but Damon is best with dual-weilded swords; thus he is a great fighter.

Nope, your character looks fine Kurai!! Approved.

Hurray!
And here I was thinking I may have done it all wrong ^.^

I hope more people join, this seems like it will be a very interesting and exciting RP.

I'm glad to see your enthusiasm. And as well, I actually really like how you've made your character. I think it will prove to be interesting for her to be chosen by an incubus, since she already knows so much lol.

Name-Ken
Age-27
Gender-male

What do you know of INCUBI/SUCCUBI/POPPETS and why?- I met a succubus once, who tried to seduce me. She had me in her bedroom, when a Vigilant burst though the wall, and killed her.

Appearance- muscular, defined body. wears an open vest that fits with the times, showing his torso and arms, and a pair of realy baggy shorts, and boots. Underwear is a thing of the past.

Short Bio-He worked on a farming estate, untill he was 15. Then, he ran away, and made his life in the cities of the world

Other-He has a few tatoos.

That's one reason I am excited about this RP.
She is in tune with them, and knows what to look for but she wants to meet one, just to see if she can resist them.

Oh my imagination runs too much sometimes lol.

Alright Ken, you are approved. But you have to remember that a human shouldn't know a whole lot about Vigilants, seeing as how not even Incubi and Succubi know of them just yet. Vigilants are only heard of in folklore as prayers that went unanswered.

yeah, He doesn't know that it was a vigilant, but I'm just saying that it was. this sounds so sick.

Hey, if your not busy, could you take a look at this?

story-t14010.html

Alright, I have a couple questions, because I'm slightly confused.

Question 1: What do you mean by 'phase into a soul' for the Vigilants?

Question 2: And with the posting length, the absolute minimum for the posting length is 5+ sentences right? But you would like to see 2+ paragraphs, right?

Question 3: Can we have a description as well as a picture for the appearance?

If you could answer these questions, it would be greatly appreciated.

1: Meaning that they have a physical form, and a basic soul= meaning that it appears like everyone else's minus a streaming rainbow colored aura. But when they all [in the IC] are sent into the Astral Level, their souls have another form that they can "phase into" that is better needed to fight the demon Incubi and Succubi.

2: Usually I think of a paragraph being 3 sentences, maybe two if it's an appropriate compound. But I encourage spacing. I know a lot of roleplayers who think "Oh five sentences" so they list off their post in one giant chunk. Sorry, that is kind of confusing.

3: Yes, surely you can!

Thank you! I'll have my profile up as soon as I can, but I might have to finish it late as I'm going to be eating really soon.

No problem, glad to see more players. I need a couple more! MORE PLAYERS, I MUST HAVE THEM ALL!!! Mwahahah... j/k, but take your time.

VIGILANT:

Name-
Anton Le Roi
Exact Age-
230
Relevant Age-
23
Gender-
Male
Power-
Practically having control over the signals that the body gives off; he can read the emotions that stir around others with the use of a Electromagnetic Signals, or energy waves with the use of an invisible field that surrounds him. With this he can endure much relaxation on the body of another, or much stress. Sending signals to their brain, either able to calm their nerves or to make a large irritating screech, that can send anyone on the ground in only seconds; causing large migraines as well as ringing ears.
Appearance-

Height: 5'7"
Weight: 150 lbs
Short Bio-
Not much is known about Anton Le Roi, not having any evidence he even exists. His past began in 1791 in Louisiana, the owner of a large plantation. Married, his wife pregnant with a child, she was brutally murdered later when he was only 18 This drove him into the ground, making life seem worthless. When his early thirties arose, he realized he did not age, filtering away from his home in fear of what others would notice.
He was not the same man, his enemies cowering at his feet for some unknown reason...while the few friends he had were always so comfortable and at ease. Something was not right, it all was so wrong. In the mid 1800's he committed suicide - it not doing him any real good. He lived of course while hanging himself, vanishing and appearing in another place all together. Teleportation.
A few centuries coming and going, he learned to use his powers, forgetting what he once was and becoming more. It was only then he realized others out there like him - or to an extent. Demons and other fictional characters more realistic than he ever believed. When he discovered the so called poppets, he tracked the source and has been doing it ever since.
Other-

.:.:VIGILANT:.:.

Name- Dusk Rosalie Macoy
Age- 527 but appears 21
Gender- Female
Power- Dusk is able to see into the future using something called, 'The Sight'
The Sight - The sight is an ability used to see into the future. But, the visions seen using the sight are subject to change, meaning they will only change if a person(not the user) changes their mind. This is a minor detail, but using the sight is very draining, and usually the user will have little energy after using this ability.
Appearance-
Dusk has medium length straight black hair, as seen in the picture. Blonde streaks can be seen all throughout her hair. Her eyes are rimmed in black to bring out her ice blue eyes. She has thin eyebrows and pale skin, a few freckles splashed across her cheeks and nose. She very rarely wears anything other than eyeliner, but she will wear light gray or white eyeshadow once in a while. She has full, pale pink lips, and high cheek bones. Dusk also has snakebites on her lip, her right eyebrow pierced, her tongue and her nose. Her left earlobe is pierced thrice while her right is pierced twice. Her left upper ear is pierced four times while her right is pierced twice. She also has her belly button pierced.

For clothing, Dusk usually wear a black skull t-shirt with faded jeans that have holes in the knees as well as the bottom all torn up. On her left arm she has a black fingerless glove that goes from above her elbow. On her right arm, she wears a fingerless fishnet glove with a black arm warmer from just below her elbow to her wrist over top. At the beginning of the arm warmer is a fitting black studded band. For footwear, Dusk can usually be seen wearing black skater shoes with a touch of hot pink in them.
Short Bio- [I'll add one once I think of one. >.<]
Other- Dusk hates being called by her first name, so she usually gets called Dusk, Rosie, Rosa, or Lia(Lee-ya).

Sorry about not being able to think of a bio. I'm sort of experiencing writers block, so it may take a while to come up with a good bio for Dusk.

Edit- The real age is 527, but she looks like she's 16-18, that's why I said, '527 but appears 16'

HUMAN:

Name- Selena Mar
Age- 20
Gender- Female
What do you know of INCUBI/SUCCUBI/POPPETS and why?- [you have to know something about them, otherwise you won't transist when things are thrown to the A.L.] I have read every Anne Rice and Laurell K Hamilton book ever written, and I love mythology.
Appearance- Long brown curls down to her lower back, usually worn in a long braid. At least, the original color was brown. It changes every month or so, with her mood, ever since she turned 15. She makes most of her own clothing, and also tends to have paint on her clothing, since she paints in her spare time, when she isn't waitressing at the local diner. Usually, she has on faded, ripped blue jeans, and a flowy peasant top.
Short Bio- She's always believed in fantasy beings, and that the myths aren't myths at all, but fact. She was shunned throughout her grade school life, before finally finding friends in an art class at her local community college.
Other- She speaks a bunch of dead languages, and never knew her father. He abandoned them when he found out his wife (her mother) was pregnant with her.

Sonus- Approved.

Proclaimer and Demon Goddess- you both need to state what race you are. As well, Demon, I said in the rules no teens. I would allow your character to be 18 though.
