Introduction
Some say they used to be real people, but now they are merely shadows of themselves. Making their living as bounty hunters, assassins and spies, these four people have no home to belong to.
Their hearts do not beat.
They do not sleep.
They do not eat.
They are dead to the world.
But now, they will become part of a war to tear the country apart.
Darkadia is split between the Northern and Southern kingdoms, each ruled by a son of the now dead King. Both son’s blame each other for the kidnap and murder of their sister and won’t allow the other to become King, each hiring a Nobody to kill the other.
But another plot is stirring from the underground demon kingdom.
What are their plans for Darkadia?
Why are they so intent on capturing the Nobodies?
Does anyone have the power to stop them?
Races
Nobodies: The Nobodies are practically walking corpses, all of them have been killed and come back to life and now they cannot be killed again. Despite being dead, they move, speak and think like living people. Their fighting style, weapons and skills depend upon the name they have taken. Although all of them were originally normal people, those memories and identities mean nothing to them anymore, some of them have changed so much physically that no one can even recognise them as the people they used to be.
Humans: The main race of Darkadia, mostly they are just normal mortals but there are people who have the power of sorcery; necromancy is an especially popular form of magic used and some even believe this is where the Nobodies came from. The only other distinction is between those of the Northern Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom.
Demons: An ancient and mysterious race, the demons are a cruel and sadistic race but they are very intelligent creatures. With most of them dwelling in their underground kingdom, there are only a few who live on the surface. Those demons patrol the areas between the two kingdoms, murdering and stealing people to take down to their country; men are kept as workers, women are kept as slaves and concubines, both are used for torture purposes.

"She will not travel with you, she will travel alone." She said to Snake.
At the sound of footsteps, Spider turned to face Wolf.
She was intending to respond to him when he said he had killed the Southern Prince. Although there was no outside indication, something inside her snapped. The Southern Prince... Abel... He had always been the most affectionate towards her, the more caring of the two brothers... NO! Not her, the princess! She was Spider, Rayne was dead!
Then her reason set in.
"She doesn't think you have Wolf." Spider said slowly, raising an eyebrow at him. "None of us have ever taken a job without first going to check exactly what is required of us, and with you being the most scholarly and intelligent of us all she knows that you would have gone to see your chosen prince first. She saw you head South earlier and the time period was not long enough for you to change direction, gain your information and kill the other prince. You are not that stupid, but she cannot figure out why you would wish to decieve us."
With that she looked back at the other two.
"You had better go, before Wolf takes all for himself. She will meet you in the village of Terranthia when you have completed your task, she will find other work to occupy her."

He liked to think so.
And to him the war had his purposes, which made it useful and made him more determined not to stop and to continue the fight. The alarm sounded, the signal of an intruder. He immediately rose from his chair and walked over to the window, resting his hands on the window pane as he glimpsed outside. There he found someone running his way.
[ And whoever that may be ... please fill in xD ]

In the door opening was he waiting for a answer, his body was formal but his mind was busy. Who was attacking? Men from the southern prince maybe, or the bandits could too be convinced to attack us. "What are your orders?."

"I suggest you send the guards after them to stop them." He then suddenly shouted as he turned to face Akiroba. Anger was visible on his face. "How could they even have reached the castle in the first place?" He fumed.
"Tell me... is this my brother's doing?"

Just when he arrived at the small battlefield, his hallway, he found that the guards had captured the intruders and he groaned. "Well, good work, Akiroba." He said without even looking properly at the man. "Perhaps you do have your uses."
Heath wasn't really complimenting the man, though he thought he was. Social tactics never had been the prince's strongest points.

"Your welcome to come with us to meet the Northern Prince, hell you can even kill him after we get out half up front for all I care. Then we'll all meet up with Spider after. Of course Raven, you can do whatever you'd like, but I know what I'm doing."

Re: [OOC] Dead To The World
Okay, sorry for my inactivity here people, I had done so to let other people post but now we have lost two roleplayers. However it appears that we have now gained another (Welcome NikkiCass), leaving us with both princes, all four nobodies and the demon lord. I think that's enough to keep things going for now. As for the spots still open and the characters that have been abandoned, if no one has taken them by the time they are needed then we will all have to pull together and do what we can. I should be able to take Deity, since Spider is going to get captured by the demons anyway, but if anyone is willing to play the other roles (namely the councillor, Kayla and the bandit) that would be great. Some roles can be dropped if there is no chance of them getting filled before they are needed but I'm hoping that this can still work.
Well, now that I've finished rambling I will tell you that I have just posted and hope to be moving the roleplay along in the near future. So I hope you all haven't lost faith in this roleplay and that all who are left still want to join in. Nikki, when you've come up with a starter for your character just post in Activity and we'll guide you on from there, if you'd rather wait until the nobodies reach the Northern Kingdom then that's fine as well.
I'll stop talking now.

Re: [OOC] Dead To The World
I created the Northern prince... but am completely new to this site and have no idea how things work around here.
Any tips/hints/help? How do I start.. or rather... how do I reply? (Though I might figure it out myself, I don't want to do something silly and look all noob-like, so practically all help would be welcome =) )

Re: [OOC] Dead To The World
Re: [OOC] Dead To The World
I am so very sorry. Time slipped my mind and I was going to wait for either A) The other prince or B) the head of the guards...
So, I will get together a sheet tonight. If I can find a picture which then leads to a written description and weapon...
EDIT: Hmm... Submitted profile for "Abel Luxhart." Not the most elaborate Character sheet I've submitted to be honest. Though, I plan a couple of overhauls before this is done...
Re: [OOC] Dead To The World
*edit* scratch that super busy.... and the age range isn't my norm...
Re: [OOC] Dead To The World
The Southern Prince is reserved for you, submit when you're ready.
Preferably between 20 and 30, don't forget he's the second eldest so we don't want him too old. And he knows that his sister was killed by the bandits who kidnapped her but neither him or his brother knew that the demons had anything to do with it, they just know that she's dead and they blame each other for it.
Re: [OOC] Dead To The World
So, does he have to be around a certain age limit? 20s, 30s? And his sister was killed by the demons too, does he know this?

You may edit this first post as you see fit.
