The Story
A group of friend begins receiving strange and ominous visions along with a small leather bound book. After months of various visions, strange occurrences, and studying of the book, the group comes to a conclusion to what it all means; The world will end and their only chance of survival is finding and freeing a savior. At first, most of the group denies it, believing it to be completely random occurrences. As the visions continue, more often and more extreme, the group investigates farther until they finally begin to believe that what they concluded at first was right. The group would dive deeper and deeper into the 'prophecy' until they see a man who fits their visions. Believing that this man would be their savior they would kidnap him. Purchasing a home with their combined funds, they would stay their with the so called 'savior', cutting all ties as they pushed the man to prove them right, to save them from the end. Despite what the members of the group believe, they are no where near prepared for the war that will follow.
This role-play will focus on the various members of the small group, their friendships and romances, along with the truth behind the savior as he begins to learn who he truly is.
Characters
When submitting your character please include a photograph of the character along with a short bio. When entering a character, make sure the character name is his or her first name alone, leave the last name for the actual profile.
*There can be multiple characters that fall into this category. (Meaning there can be more than one extremist, follower, ect)
I may allow characters that do not fall into any of these categories once the important ones fill up
The Savior: A seventeen-year-old boy who lost both his parents at a young age. The group kidnaps him in an attempt to save themselves from the end. He is strong-willed and refuses to co-operate with the group, acting out violently against the members of the group and taking any chance he can to escape.
The Leader: She leads the group in her escapades and believes in the prophecy deeply. She is level-headed and kind but she does what she must to make sure the group succeeds in their task, sometimes acting out of character to make sure that everything goes off without a hitch. She is protective over the savior but may allow things that hurt him and put his health in jeopardy.
The Impostor: He does not believe in the prophecy at all. He has only followed the group because he has feelings for the leader and has joined in an attempt to win her over. He dislikes the savior and the attention the leader gives him, leading to him treating the savior badly and taking any attempts that he can to hurt or kill the boy.
*The Moralist: She believes in the prophecy deeply but refuses to sacrifice many of her morals for it. She is strong and quick to interject, pointing out when something is wrong. She believes in the savior but refuses to do a lot if it seems immoral.
*The Romantic/ The Rebel: She believes in the prophecy but cares more for the savior himself. She is hard headed, commanding, and generally angry. She treats the other members of the group rather badly even though she cares for them. She begins to care for the savior as a person not a means to an end, defending him wildly from the other members of the group. She spends the most time with the savior, attempting to make him comfortable and calm him down when he is upset. She is one of the few that doesn’t fall for his tantrums, either trying to calm him down or just telling him to shut up. She refuses to allow the group to do anything that may hurt the savior.
*The Follower: He believes in the prophecy more than most but does not have the ability to interpreter it himself/herself. He will blindly follow whatever the leader tells him to do as he fears what would happen if he didn’t. He is meek and quite. He doesn’t share any feeling for the savior other than those of the leader.
*The Curious: He/She believes in the prophecy deeply and is willing to hurt and torture the savior for answers. He/she spends most of her time examining the savior and running various tests on him. He/she is dead set on finding the truth behind the savior, not caring at all for who he hurts. He would let the savior die if it meant he could find the truth.
*The Friend: He/she believes in the prophecy enough to stay with the group. He/she grows close to the savior and treats him as a friend, caring for him and his well being but still refusing to free the man. It is unclear if he/she would choose being saved or the life of the savior.
The Greedy: He/she is only here as the group paid him/her to stay silent. He doesn’t care about the prophecy at all, believing they are all insane. He/she will not release the savior, as it would mean that he/she would not be paid.
*The Extremist: He/she believes the most in the prophecy. He/she will do anything and sacrifice anyone if he/she believes the prophecy asks for it. He/she lives and acts by the book, word by word. He/she would readily sacrifice the savior.
