Reapers [OOC/Sign Up] ( )

Postby GhaKha on Sat Jun 13, 2009 8:06 am

Reapers


The Grim Reaper has long been around in the stories of many lands, in many tounges, in many forms. Many believe he is simply a metaphor, but he is more.

Little does the world know that the Reaper must choose a human to take over his job once every 100 years, and there are more than one reaper. In actuality there are hundreds of them, all fufilling the duties of escorting the dead souls to the underworld where they may rest in peace.

With Reapers there are rules. Three golden rules. Never tell. Never for personal gain. Never too late. A reaper must never tell a human they are a Reaper, a reaper must never kill a human to benefit themselves, and a reaper must never under any circumstance leave a soul to walk the earth. If a soul is left alone and never taken to the Underworld, it will change and become a foul beast that preys on the souls of the living to sustain itself. These beasts are the Keres and are to be killed on sight. Recently there has been an increase of these beasts, causing Reaper Recruitment to go up by tenfold.

The Powers Of A Reaper:

A Reaper has a small amount of power to help protect itself and souls. The main weapon is it's Scythe which is usually, (When the reaper is in their human form, see next section) in the form of a necklace or other garment. A Reaper also has the power to cause seemingly impossible things to happen. Some have caused things from pianos falling on people to trucks exploding. A reaper must use this power with caution and kill only those who are on their list. [For 'list', see below]. And Finally a Reaper has the innate ability to heal most wounds, excluding mortal wounds on a person who is Listed.


The Work Of The Reaper:

When a Reaper is not working, they are in a human form and live as a human. Their Scythe turns into a type of jewlery so that they can hide it and their Aura becomes hidden.
When it is time for work to be done a Reaper can will themselve out of hiding their aura and command their weapon into it's natural state. A small parchment will be delivered to the Reaper and this parchment is known as their 'List'. The list of names and times of people to die, and when they are to die. How they die is entirely up to a Reaper. When a soul is dead the Reaper takes their hand and takes them to the nearest Gate. A gate is a portal in a hidden area through which the dead move to the underworld under the Protection of Reapers. Humans lack the ability to see Gates and thus they won't bother you.
When you have escorted a person to a gate cross a line through their name and continue to the next. When all names are done the parchment be ready to take back. Head to the nearest human posting office and hand the parchment to the workers there. They are not human, but rather demons working with Reapers.
Every 100 years a Reaper is finally allowed to rest and thus must find a trustworthy human to take their place. When this human is found simply impale them with your Scythe. From then well, I'm sure you remember your first day too.

She favors wearing halter tops. Her older brother, (or who she had always thought was her older brother) had practically raised her. He is the one who gave her the power of the reaper

OOC: I have a question. Are humans who fall in love with one of the reapers allowed? I believe it may add a bit of a plot twist though I understand if it is not allowed.

(Quick question, does the RP start off with the characters being chosen or are they already reapers?)

Name: Micah Tsung

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Bio: The creative one. Everyone calls her it, and she accepts it. All her life she has been creative, although she had quite a dark side. One look into her creations is enough to cause a good nightmare or two. Commonly found in a black tanktop and matching black drainpipe jeans, she is easily excitable, and very, very brutal when it comes to confrontations.

Scythe Form: The small piercing on her upper lip.

Haha, I just watched an episode with that "wanna fight aba'dit" thing! xD Anywho, I just have to join.

Name: Dustin Grey

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Bio: One might say his appearance doesn't really match his personality. He's a tall specimen, reaching about six feet and two inches. His skin is mocha colored and his hair is twisted into neat ebony dreadlocks that reach the middle of his back as they are pulled out of his face and into a long ponytail. His eyes are nearly black, but flecks of amber can be noticed in the irises when he is standing in the sun. It's hard for anyone to see his lean muscular build since he mostly wears baggy jackets and slightly baggy pants that have way too many pockets. He wears any sorts of heavy boots since he went off to college, the rest of his family too busy with their work to really care or keep an eye on him. He's quiet usually and doesn't like to talk to people--when he actually does speak he doesn't really have anything nice to say.

Scythe Form: A black metal ring on the middle finger of his right hand that has strange orange carvings on it. It's hard to notice because he wears a LOT of rings.
95% of teens have one of these "95% of teens" signatures on their profile. If you're on of the 5% who doesn't give a crap about their 'statistics' that they use to express their opinions on something, post this in your signature. Oh... wait...

FUTURISTIC PIRATES!

Postby Wallow on Sat Jun 13, 2009 12:54 pm

Name: Collin Munroe

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Bio: Collin has short, dark brown hair, and his eyes are green, usually with dark circles under them, but bright and intelligent. He normally wears dress shirts, either that are loose and a bit baggy, or unbuttoned with a wife beater underneath. Collin rarely wears ties because finds them uncomfortable. He normally wears slacks, or jeans if he can get away with it, and a pair of black dress shoes. He's naturally good looking, and doesn't put much effort into his appearance-- his hair is usually slightly tousled and his clothes are usually quite casual.

His childhood was fairly average-- he never got into much trouble and didn't have many exciting things happen. He did well in school and was athletic, but didn't get much attention for it, growing up in a big family. He grew up to become a police officer, and has recently been promoted to Detective-Investigator, which he is proud of.

Name: Nirna Rose

Age: 22

Gender: Female

Bio: Nirna has long wavy black hair and bright blue eyes which seem to illuminate off her almost white skin. She's a bit on the short side and has a petite frame. If she's determined to do something than she will let nothing get in her way. She is quiet at times, but that's normally because she's being very observant.

She grew up in a middle class home with her mother and her older sister by 2 years (Morgan). When Nirna turned 12 she found out that her older sister had leukemia. She is quickly losing the battle recently and Nirna knows that her sisters time is very short. She dreads the day when Morgan's name turns up on the list and checks on it quite frequently. When she's not in her reaper form Nirna works in a book shop and as a waitress.
