Introduction
No one knows how many lives have been lost and recreated in the fight against the shadows. They say that people have lost count, or that those who were counting have been lost.
My name; Bahkrunum. I mean death in the earliest possible language and to you I am the closest thing there is to a God. It is I who ferries souls from this world too the next, at least when there were few of you I did this with my own hand, now I implant a shadow into each of you and they do it for me. I just oversee the process. If you will not call me God then I think of me as Deaths boss, you know the personification of death? That skeletal figure with a cape and scythe? I help him bring you to the next stage of your lives, call it heaven, call it hell, it is the same place for you all.
Every human has a shadow that will stay with them throughout their lives, in this shadow is a being that is the humans opposite in every way. When a human dies only then can their shadow meld with them and allow their passage to the next life. The problem is that even in this world there are humans with pure hearts, who create black hearted shadows. So when their human dies this shadow with a black heart is likely to abandon its human counter part and go off on its own, taking human form. This creates a ghost, and an almost unstoppable shadow.
So you see that my system is corrupt, there are far too many shadows being produced thanks to humans who believe me to be a God who will take them to hell on judgement day. Therefore I have created an Organization, if you will, a team of humans with advanced powers all over the world to track down and kill these shadows. To become a Shadow Weaver you simply have to die, and fear this death so much that you make a deal with me. 500 years of service. Fun.
So come to me, you cowards, you beggars, you who love life so much. I can offer eternal youth, immortality, and more than a lifetime of servitude. Your soul for just 500 more years amongst those humans you loved so dearly.
Basically
You are a shadow, a shadow weaver or just a normal human trying to go about your normal day. Shadows are evil, there are no good shadows, or shadows that wish they are good because to be a good shadow all you have to do is go find your human and take them to the next world, and then you aren’t really a shadow, you’re a spirit.
Shadows can take on human form, and just as easily melt away into a puddle of darkness and slip between the smallest cracks.
They can only be stopped if shot/stabbed in their chest or head, this does not kill them, this simply paralyzes them and turns them into black puddles of uselessness. However if a shadow weaver touches a pure diamond to the shadow puddle the shadow is transferred into the diamond and therefore captured.
Shadow Weavers, our good friend Bahkrunum created these from the spirits of the dead. Once you die you follow your shadow to the next world but as shadows can break from humans, humans can break from their shadows. If a human fears death or feels like they have something to do in life that they haven’t done or just simply wants to stay on Earth a bit longer they simply sign a deal with Bahkrunum and then return home with a nice new body, super human senses and enhanced speed as well as the ability to transfer shadows into diamonds. Nifty. And all it takes is for you to give your soul to Bahkrunum for, say, five hundred years. Then you are assigned to an organisation, which can be anywhere in the world, although for this RP the shadow weavers will be based in London.
Shadow Weavers recover from minor injuries much faster than normal humans and can not be killed unless stabbed through the heart or beheaded, even then Bahkrunum just brings the Shadow weaver back to life, he intends to get the full 500 years out of his souls.
Humans, do they need any explanation? The humans are oblivious to the shadows, you do not find out about your shadow until you die. You know that white light people claim to see? That’s their shadow saying “Come on, hurry the fuck up I want to move on!”
A plot would be helpful?
In white chapel, England, present day, murders have been taking place, in the shocking style of those done by jack the ripper. Little do humans know that Jack was in fact a shadow captured 120 years ago. However the diamond was stolen and has not been found. Now these murders are re appearing, does this mean that jack is back or is something more sinister going on?

Karr looked at Klaus as he demanded the top bunk. Well it wasn't like Eiri or Kaia could challenge him for it. He, too, rolled his eyes as Klaus felt the need to flirt with the receptionist. He thanked the receptionist, seeing as neither of the twins did, before following the boys to where their room was. Karr was pretty glad that Kaia was small and not heavy, making it easier to maneuver around the building.
He waited patiently for the door to be opened and Eiri to be taken inside before following them into the room. It wasn't much, but it was better than nothing.
He brought Kaia inside, taking her to the empty bottom bunk that was opposite to where Eiri was and gently laying her down. Karr lay her on her back, making sure that she'd be as comfortable as possible, seeing as there wasn't any real sign of her waking up yet - a frown settling his face at that thought. His gaze wandered to Eiri as he was sure Kaia would be comfortable,
"How did she end up like that? Must've hit her head pretty hard for her to be out this long..." He said, glancing from one twin to the other. The expression changed on his face a little as he thought on from what had happened to Kaia,
"Maybe I should pop back out to get us that food we were gonna get? It's not like I'll have to walk anywhere." He added.

Eiri looked at his feet as Karr asked about how Kaia had gotten hurt, he chewed his lower lip for a moment. "It was my fault." he admitted, staring at his hands. "She was trying to protect me and I couldn't protect her." he shrugged. He glanced up at Kaia, wondering why she hadn't woken up yet. He was beginning to get a little worried about her. He pushed himself to his feet, ignoring a sharp look from Klaus, he hobbled over to Kaia's bed and sat on the floor beside it. Reaching out he took her hand, then looked back to Karr.
"Food would be great." He hadn't eaten in quite a long time now, neither had Klaus.
"Yeah, Fish and chips?" Klaus suggested, if you don't want to I can always drive out and get it."

Karr couldn't help but be intriguied as he said that she'd gotten this way because she was trying to protect him. Once again, she'd taken it upon herself to help out, eventhough she had no idea what she was doing.
"She's definitely got the heart for the role," He commented, watching with a little concern as Eiri made his way across the small room to sit by Kaia's bed and wait for her to wake up. He guessed it was harder for Eiri to push away his feelings for her while she was in this state.
Lookng to Klaus, he shook his head lightly,
"I'll go," He insisted, idly pointing to Eiri and Kaia, "You're needed here more than me," If Kaia woke up, she'd probably be much more happy to see the bright blue twins than him.
"I'll get you both the same, yeah?" He said, glancing at Kaia, "I'll get a spare portion of chips for sleeping beauty, incase she wakes up while I'm out." He added, not giving them a chance to reply as he left them in the room, heading out of the house to the stolen car. He wondered how long he'd be able to hang onto the car before the police found it and dragged it away - not that it mattered, he could just aqquire another one. It's not like he could be caught by the mundane police if he didn't technically exist.

Eiri sighed, "Yes she has." He agreed with Karr, "She just needs to learn to think before she acts." he rubbed his thumb in circles on the back of her hand, hating the way he couldn't stay away from her at the moment. He wanted to keep his feelings in check but she just looked so helpless right now. Once she was awake and back to her old self he'd back off a little but for now he felt he owed it to her, because she had gotten this way as she had tried to protect him when he hadn't needed protecting.
Klaus could feel the concern radiating off of Eiri, he was leaning against one of the beds post, watching his brother, who had not shown this much interest in anyone ever. It was strange to him as he was not getting that much attention and he didn;t like it. It had always been Klaus and Eiri against the world and now it was Klaus, Eiri and the love of Eiri's life against whatever threatened said love. Klaus folded his arms and pouted. "Yeah we'll both have cod and chips." Klaus told Karr, looking at Karr annoyed him more cos he was allowed to drive so his leaving to drive to the fish and chip shop just made Klaus want to scream.
"I'm going for a walk." he declared, exiting the room around three minutes after Karr had without waiting for Eiri to protest.

The door slamming on Klaus's exit seemed to have stirred some sense into the still girl, who sucked in a deep breath a few moments after Klaus had left. Kaia's breathing became much more steady than before, deeper and a little faster than before. Eiri's gentle circles were returned with a gentle squeeze of his hand, though it was so slight, noticing it might've been hard. Kaia managed to pry her eyes open a little, barely open eyes looking towards the shock of blue that she knew instantly to be a twin - her best guess being Eiri.
"I tried, Eiri..." She said, her voice not much more than a whisper, a hint of triumph in her tone as she was pretty proud of herself for having actually done something.
Looking around the unfamiliar room, Kaia then noticed that it was just herself and Eiri, a slight frown on her face as she looked back to him,
"Where is everyone else...?" She asked.

Eiri almost whooped with joy as Kaia came round, he was beginning to think she was comatose. He smiled, moving to his knees he hugged her too him, relief practically oozed out of him. "It was stupid." he told her quietly, "You're so stupid." He pulled back, a hand lingering on her cheek. "But you're okay now and that is all that matters to me." he dropped his hand, finding hers again he took it. "Karr has gone to get some food and Klaus said he was going for a walk." that made him frown, he had not been paying enough attention to his brother to really know why he had decided to leave, Kaia had been his main priority which was strange. He'd never put anyone before Klaus before. He went slightly stiff as he realised that maybe that was why Klaus had decided to go out, because he had been paying more attention to Kaia. Eiri pressed his lips into a thin line, the bastard just had to have his way didn't he? It was not an unkind thought, he accepted every part of Klaus, he was just so damn annoying sometimes.
"So you're feeling okay now?" He enquired.

"But it would've been much worse if I hadn't done it..." She replied as he moved away, able to put a small smile on her face as he held her cheek for a moment. He seemed to be so happy that she was awake, it made her wonder how long she'd been out for - it didn't feel like too long to her. She noticed the small frown on his face as he spoke of Klaus, wondering what had caused him to go off in a huff this time. There was always a reason behind it. Could he not hang around to even look after his injured brother.
"I would say you should go after him, but I'm guessing that you're ankle's still pretty bad." She said quietly, a slightly concerned expression on her face as he continued to ask if she was feeling any better.
"I have a headache, and I'm tired, and I'm hungry... but I'm sure I'll get over it soon enough." She told him, putting the small smile back on her face as she didn't want him to worry too much about her now that she was awake. She squeazed his hand gently as he still had an air of annoyance around him.
"Is everyone else okay?" She asked, hoping that she hadn't actually caused too much damage with her sudden actions.

Eiri smiled and nodded, "Yes well broken bones take a lot longer to heal. It should be fine in the morning though." there would still be pain but he'd be able to walk on it without falling into agony. His thoughts strayed to his brother for a moment before Kaia began to speak again. Then it was all about her. This wasn't the time to be falling in love, Eiri knew that, yet he could feel the symptoms and knew there was nothing that would stop it. Removing her from his sight would only pain him and cause him to be distracted she was better off where he could see her and away from Roberts horrid gaze. Kaia was pretty much okay, of course she had a headache and hunger was pretty much on all of their minds. "Good." he said, sounding slightly distracted now although a part of him wanted to give her his every attention his mind was focusing on the important stuff. Like when Karr would be back with their food. "The hunger will soon be fixed and no doubt once you've slept you'll feel much better." he squeezed her hand and smiled at her concern, "Everyone is fine, Klaus is moody but if he wasn't then I'd be worried."

Kaia couldn't help but still be jealous of Eiri's faster healing. When she had broken her arm years ago, it had taken like six weeks to heal - yet it takes him only a couple of days to heal a broken bone. It took her a couple of days to get over a cut! She blamed her human half, or quater, or whatever fraction it was. It was still not fair.
She then noticed how he was sitting by her bed, frowning a little - surely that wouldn't be making his ankle any better?
"That doesn't look comfortable down there..." She commented, shuffling around a little till she awkwardly pulled herself to sit up. She leant across the gap she had made on the bed, taking Eiri's other hand with her free one before pulling him up onto the bed to sit beside her. She was a little surprised with herself that she had managed to actually move him - she didn't think there was any strength in her skin and bone.
She had revelled in her own abilities for a moment, probably looking rather dumbfounded a she did so, before she switched back to reality. Kaia shook her head a little, looking up at Eiri with a sheepish grin,
"That's gotta be much better than the floor..." She said, realising that she probably would've twisted his ankle the wrong way with her unexpected actions. "I didn't hurt your ankle more doing that, did I?" She quickly asked, now rather worried. She would've hated herself if she'd made such a stupid mistake doing that. She was only trying to help.
