Introduction

In March 2011, several hundred individuals awoke with powers special only to them. Some had things as weak as being able to jump higher, others could set fire to the world. This occurred in a city known as Lost Haven, which within a month was under quarantine with armed soldiers patrolling every exit. Instructed to not even let humans through, the soldiers shoot anything on sight, whether it be man or child. Due to this, the humans of the city have viewed this as a sign of the apocalypse and have called the supposed "Super humans", Demons. Unable to tell the difference between regular humans and demons there have been adaptations to the conditions. Many businesses continue like normal, if only to try and not think about what has happened to their home. Luckily for those stuck inside, Lost Haven is a large metropolis, with suburbs and skyscrapers within its area, forcing the government to do daily air drops of goods around the city. The city mayor, Duke Hitchens, has been able to keep anarchy and greed from spreading throughout the city. How can someone be so charismatic as to receive support in such a dire situation? He has made the demons into enemies, causing the regular citizens to unite against a common enemy.

The demons are as human as anyone else in the city, but they are still different. The night of the supposed "transformation", beings without a name invaded the minds and bodies of the humans. However, their supposed takeover of the humans mind proved to be incomplete. Instead of taking over the humans, they formed a symbiotic relationship with them. Unable to manifest themselves physically, they rely on their host in order to survive. Like previously stated, each have a power that the humans can use. The beings do not state their true nature nor the original plan, having their hosts refer to them by name. The beings act as guides and in some cases, friends, to the host.

Some hosts have formed groups along with their beings in order to fulfill their desire for power, the most prominent being The Organization. They seek power out of their own nature and the behest of their being, having within their group some of the most powerful hosts and beings alive. The Organization seeks either the conversion or death of every host and being in the city so as to become the only true power in the world. It's been four months since the awakening.

Everything seemed self explanatory at the top. If you have questions, pm me.

Lost Haven: Is broken up into four parts. Downtown, The Docks, Suburbs and The Arena District. If you have anywhere else you would like to add, pm me and I'll add it to the location... thingy.

Rules:
1. No god modding. Remember, one power only and no time related ones. Anything else is fine. Its how you manipulate the power that matters.
2. Be realistic in creating your host. Having a master sword fighter in a modern city is just way off.
3. Post a minimum once every two to three days.
4. Post a maximum 5 times a day.
5. The location generator was made for a reason, use it.
6. Written porn and all that jazz go in the pm's.

You will need two character sheets (under the same profile of course). One for the host and one for the being. If your freaking out the being only needs an appearance and a name, their personality should come out through the RP. The Beings look either human, humanoid, or an animal. Their image is what they show to the host, so obviously a six armed mutant cyclops wouldn't be the best way to settle down someone. Remember, Beings don't physically manifest... yet, but can appear before their hosts, even appear to walk with them with no one else being able to see it. Finally, The Organization needs a leader, so someone be in the Org. and not just everyone be drifters.

Host sheet:
Name:
Age:
Appearance: (I prefer drawn or anime based pictures, but written would be fine. No real people)
Alliance: Are you with The Organization? Another one you made up? A Loner?
Power: (1 only)
Personality:
Bio:

Being:
Name:
Appearance: If animal, it can look somewhat mythological. Like a lion with horns for example, or if human-like it can have wings.

An annoying buzzing intruppted Desi dreams and with a groan the woman rolled over and swung a hand at the alarm clock, slamming down on the snooze button. An hour later Desi walked down the stairs in the back of the building that connected her apartment to the bookstore below. She turned on the lights and walked over to the door to unlock it and turn around the closed sign so it read open instead. "Well Falene, another beautiful day." She turned her head a bit and saw the panther looking being standing next to her, looking out the window. No one else could see Falene and any other time Desi would consider the possiblity that she might be loosing her mind but ever since 'that night' alot of people like her had permanent companions called the beings or demons. Though in her mind Falene was the farthest from a demon, Desi walked to her desk and sat down.

"Get UP!"

Calleigh's head throbbed from the headache that made itself known over the course of the night. Nightmares all over again, bloodier then the last. Though, for the young woman, she didn't mind seeing the scene of Brendan's life being snuffed out over and over again. It actually soothed her. Though, as she rolled over and threw a pillow at the opposite side of the room, a loud heaving sigh came forth in her head.

"You lazy, inconsistent, worthless child! I said get up!"

Her head throbbed again; Avarice's yelling was not something Calleigh liked to wake up to. She growled softly into her pillow and pushed herself, "Alright, alright... I'm up." She shook her head as she looked over. Of course, Avarice was sitting curled up on the floor, her serpent tail twitching irritably as she crossed her arms staring at her host. "What?!"

"Time to get up. Your mother gave up trying to wake you. Get your errands done."

The woman let out a groan and flopped back into her bed, "Guardian..." She hissed out in a pleading tone.

"Don't 'Guardian' me, mortal, get UP."

Her skull felt too small for her brain as the young woman instantly got up, cringing in pain, "Alright, damn..."

--

After twenty minutes of getting dressed, grooming herself, Calleigh darted out the front door; it was still quiet out, the best time in her opinion. She quickly made her way down the sidewalk, glancing every now and then to the people that were crawling out of the dwellings to start the new day. She sighed, pulling up her hood as she could hear the naga like creature slithering behind her; the tone, while odd, comforted her. Avarice was annoying at times, yes, but she was her 'guardian', not like those demons that people whispered of. She drowned in her thoughts a moment before passing a building, the bookstore. She stopped dead in her tracks, and before Avarice could retort that she was not on track, she darted inside the building.

Izzy rolled over to stare at the ceiling, it was only four in the morning. She had woken from another nightmare of that night. She didn't dare think of it again, once in a night was enough. Kai her demon was laying across her chest, snoozing quietly. Izzy continued to watch the ceiling at the minutes rolled past, when it was a reasonable time for her to be out of bed she slowly moved Kai to the pillow and walked to the bathroom.

The apartment she was living in wasn't what she was use to but she couldn't go back to her real home after that day. She started the water that would only get slightly warm and jumped in. She quickly cleaned herself and jumped out before the water could get to cold. She dressed and blow dried her hair, by the time she was out of the bathroom Kai was just waking up.

"Girl, what are you doing up so early again?" Kai asked his husky voice coming from the form of a fox. He watched as the human just shrugged and looked away. He rolled his eyes and stretched out his body on the bed.

"Come on we have things to do." Izzy said holding out her arm. Kai huffed but ran and jumped up onto Izzy's arm running up it and curling around her neck. One of the good things about Kai was that Izzy didn't have to pretend around him. No putting on a front.

She walked out of the apartment making sure to lock it. Izzy walked down the four flights of stairs and out onto the street. She always made sure to stay away from the part of town she use to live in.

Desi looked up from the book she had been reading and smiled in greeting to the girl that had just walked in. "Hello can i help you find anything?" Desi smoothly pulled a notebook over the book she had been reading so as to not let the customer see the title. With everyone up in arms about the supposed demons, it was practically a sin to read anything on the occult. Desi pushed a lock of her long brown hair behind her ears before speaking again "Romance is over there, sci-fi and mystery there, non fiction and bios are on the far wall"

Avarice was soon to follow the young woman however, hissing venomously, "Child!" Luckily her voice fell short as Calleigh held up her hand in greeting; a command and gesture. She flashed an equal smile back as Avarice slithered casually in behind her host. "Quaint."

"Hush Avarice..." Calleigh growled almost silently under her breath as she looked to Desi with a winning smile. "Just couldn't help myself from peeking my head in Ma'am." She fell quiet listening to the locations of some of the goods, all worthy subjects, but not quite what she was seeking. "Thank you, but I'm a bit curious in some other type of books..."

Avairce rose a brow at this, shaking back her hood to reveal her golden hair as the serpent eyes locked onto Calleigh. "What are you up to now..." She hissed out as she too took curiosity in the books, slithering quietly along the store. She knew that none others could see her, so wandering was not an issue for her. Or so she thought no one could see her.

"I'm curious if you have anything on the so called 'demon' folk running around, or if they're stark mad. "
The young woman smiled still, tilting her head, hiding her ambitions in that smile for now.

Desi sat up alittle straighter in her chair and cleared her throat delicately "Other..types..?" She looked around cautiously then mentally asked Falene what she thought, Falene in return gave a mental shrug then nodded. Coming back to the lady in front of her Desi smiled. "Well..I do have somethings in the back room.." She slid off her chair and walked around the corner of the desk to a door that led to her store room. "I'll be right back." Desi shut the door behind her and made her way over to a shelf that wasn't in plain sight and ran her fingers over the bindings looking for one inparticular. Giving a sudden Ah-ha, she pulled an older book off the shelf and made her way back out to the main room. "Here it is." Desi walked back over to her desk and sat back down on the chair as she lovenly ran her hands over the older book. The title was simple and direct Demons and Angels. Desi flipped to a chapter of the book as if she had done this a thousand times to where it talks indepth about possession and the many forms of it. She then turned the book around so the other lady could read it. "I'm sorry and what was your name?" Of course she should have asked that sooner, but honestly she gets to excited when people come around asking to see books about the demons. After all wouldn't the more suspious thing to do would to adamantly denie having books of that nature when they are always popular?

"Bold child, very bold." Avarice hissed as she watched what the mortal was up to. She had told her everything she was allowed to tell the girl; how she alone came to be, her birth and creation, but as for others, Avarice held a rigid silence. "Your curiosity is insatiable isn't it?"

However, Calleigh did not pay mind to her second half, still smiling as the woman seemed to be rather excited over her asking the question. She nodded politely of course, waiting in silence as she didn't even dare try to peek into where she went. Instead, she gazed at Avarice, "Can you blame me? I choose not to live in ignorance my dear Guardian..."

"Knowledge can corrupt young one; your hands are already stained already..."

"Then don't get in my way." She eyed the serpent; though she was mortal, her gaze was fierce upon the 'demon'. Calleigh quickly silenced herself as she turned back to Desi, returning to her warm smile and watched as she searched the book. She felt a draw to reach out and pick it up for herself, but she stilled her desire. Though the question did help in shaking her from the thoughts; "Oh, sorry..." She grinned sheepishly, "It's Calleigh." She stepped forward, glancing at the book, "I've asked around town, and I got so many slammed doors in my face; subject that shouldn't be taboo in all honesty." She sighed.

Avarice snorted, "You could be a desire creature yourself, Child... smooth cover." She snapped around and began to slither towards the counter, carefully going to stand beside the other mortal.
