Introduction
It is said that if the world of the living is brought into a state of complete chaos, Shade will be able to cross over, and the End of Days will be upon us. All of humanity; people, cities, animals, plants, will be wiped from the face of the earth, and the demons will reclaim it as their own paradise.
Due to the fact that modern humans rarely, if ever, come into contact with demons, they have lost their ability to see them, and even worse, to fight them. However, on occasion, a person is born who has the ability to sense demons nearby, and sometimes even see and hear them. These people are the ones a man known only as Sir is looking for, and recruiting into SPIRIT. These people have the ability to use Soul Gems and to combat the demons. All ready Sir has a fair number of Gem users, but he is always looking and scouring the world for more.
Basic Info-
Soul Gems are a unique type of gemstone that, once they come in contact with a person who possesses a powerful soul, glow the same color as that persons soul. These gems amplify the owners abilities to control their spiritual energy, allowing them to create a physical manifestation of their soul. These manifestations can be almost anything, although the most common are weapons or armor. Another ability these gems grant is the ability to preform magic. The specific type of magic varies from soul to soul, but the most common are elemental, or just simple magic, things like creating fire or using pure magic to force something away.
All Soul Gems have two paths the owner can take. The first, and most common, is weapons master. This means that, once a person has mastered their weapon in it's first form, it can develope into a second, more powerful form for a period of time, depending on the strength of a persons soul and the amount of spiritual energy they posses. The second path is the magic master, where the owner is able to use much more powerful spells, but at the cost of furthering their soul weapons form.
The king of demons is trying to create chaos in the world and bring about the End of Days, the apocalypse. It is up to you, as a Soul Gem owner to defeat the demon king and his soilders. You can choose to be an existing member of SPIRIT or someone who has just discovered their abilities, who will soon be approached by Sir.
Your Soul Gem can be whatever color you want and be placed in whatever you want. They are usually placed in rings or pendants on necklaces, but basically it can be anything you can keep close to you at all times.

Opening the refrigerator door, the Russian fished out a couple bottles of water and rummaged around until he managed to find something sweet. Cookies; not the best kind, but they would do. Recalling that Spiral enjoyed such things as well, he offered her the package first. "It may not seem the best idea, but it is always best to keep one's energy up before a fight. No dairy, though; all the movement will upset your stomach." He said nothing more; she could refuse his advice if she chose- it wasn't really his business anyway, was it?
It was now that he chose to address the other young man's question. The superfluous comment about his manner of speech, he ignored; it had been pointed out to him before, and he cared much less now than he had then. "My name is Dmitri." Juniper introduced herself as Spiral, which though he had gathered was a nickname of some sort (or perhaps a surname?) was not the one she had used the first time he'd asked. He didn't think much of it, but it was noted anyway.
Dmitri fell silent again thereafter, absently chewing his cookie as he waited. His mind was a million different places, as usual, and only one of them was the present moment. Thinking, calculating; it was what he did best. Well, that and stealing things. Or killing them, either way. In perspective, he was probably one of the more experienced people in that last area. Juniper was talented, but obviously not very well-acquainted with her power yet. He knew little to nothing of the others save what he had observed on the one occasion. The girl, Eva, was a powerful caster, that much was obvious. If he recalled correctly, the one across the room could fly, and the halfling seemed to rely largely on his fists.
An interesting mix; one that might prove advantageous if they could figure out how to compliment each other effectively. Dmitri himself was fairly flexible; though he preferred weapons to magic, he could integrate the two without issue. This battle might be a good chance for him to gather better information on what exactly stood between Shade and this dimension. We shall see, I suppose...

"You know if you're going to stick around in my mind I'm going to have to make you start paying rent!" Luft calls out.
"Cut the crap Butler. We need to get started as soon as possible."
With that Luft straightens up and begins to listen to every word from Feuer.

Again, without really thinking about it, he reaches out and takes Eva's hand, gently leading her towards the back of the store, where the drinks were kept cool behind large glass doors. Since he couldn't remember what exactly to get for everyone to drink, he grabs a few different twelve packs, surprised at how light they feel to him. Easily now he carries three under his left arm and a fourth in his left hand.
"I...think this should be enough..." he says, looking around and sighing a bit when he doesn't see any carts, "Let's see...the snacks are over here. Now, what did they want?"
As Grave and Eva continue their shopping the Goliath approaches the warehouse, standing twice as high as the building, and wearing what looks like metal shoulder pads and boots, wielding a giant sword. Perhaps if Eva were not so close to Grave and his demonic energy, she might feel his presence, but surely those back at the warehouse can feel him getting closer and closer, and in fact, if they were to go to the roof and look out above the cityscape they would be able to see him now in the distance.

"I let those two go for a very simple reason," Dart says, not exactly speaking to anyone, but answering the question anyway, "The more Grave is exposed to demonic energies, the more likely it is he will turn, and we don't need that, at all...and Eva, she just isn't a fighter. Her healing skills and magic are great, but she is young to this all, and I doubt she could do little against this huge, lumbering demon that's coming our way." As he talks he pauses now and again, taking bites of one of the hamburgers, actually quite hungry. "I think that thing will be here very soon, probably before they even get back..."

Eva allowed herself to be led around the store, not really minding. It was something people did sometimes, and though she was hardly in danger of bumping into shelves or anything anymore, it would be more awkwardness than it was worth to try and convince anyone of that, so she didn't bother. It wasn't as though it got on her nerves or anything; she was used to such small courtesies.
She felt a small twinge on the edge of her senses, but Grave's energy was obscuring anything she might have sensed fully, and she barely noticed at it all, mistaking the sensation for a small alteration in her positioning relative to the grocery store's own resident demonic-energy-generator. She smiled slightly at that thought; it was such a silly way to think of it, but perhaps better than being afraid of it or something.
The girl supposed she probably should be afraid, or at least cautious, but it just wasn't something she could do. Grave and Luft were her friends, now, and she had no reason not to trust them, no matter the circumstance, so she chose not to let it get to her.

Brushing off stray crumbs, Spiral tapped at her collarbone. Her usual small rope-dart appeared in her hands as expected. The creature was very close now. It wouldn't be wise for the likes of her to stay in the area; she was not heavy in combat.
"I think I'm going to start moving. I don't know about you guys, but I know for sure that I need the head start."

Luft's eyes snapped open as Spiral finished talking. Even with his weak ability to sense demons he could tell something big was heading their way.
"I should also get a head start, after all...." He says as he stands up."Someone needs to kick that things ass."
Using his air magic to open the warehouse doors, Luft jumps into Sir's car and takes off speeding towards the monster, driving past the various other deserted buildings on the street before hitting a field. Skidding the car to a halt he watched as the monster who's size he could say was Godzilla like slowly stomped towards him and the others back at the warehouse.
"Wow, This thing must have been beaten with one big ass ugly stick." He mutters to himself as he hops out of the car and gets behind it. Summoning a huge gust he sends the car flying towards the things giant eye ball. A moment later his hands becomes engulfed in a blue flame. Pointing them towards the flying car he creates a large fireball. As the car smashes into its left eye the fireball catches up creating a fairly large explosion. Summoning his second state weapons, he uses his magic to fly towards the monster's head.

The Russian man's eyes narrowed, and he stood, replacing all the food from whence he had obtained it and followed Spiral out the door, shooting Dart a glance that said something along the lines of 'it might not be the wisest thing, but they have made the decision for us.' Of course, if the one called Luft had taken a vehicle of some kind, he would be dealing with the thing alone for at least a few minutes, and that was possibly problematic. It really was going to take a large amount of work before the group of them would be anywhere near cohesive enough to effectively deal with Sirstalim or anything worse.
He took to half-jogging with Spiral, headed in the direction his senses pointed him. As it was, he knew the precise location of this creature, and enough about it to say that it was quite large indeed. Hopefully the wind-user knew what he was doing, but Dmitri was frankly unsure that this would be the case. He supposed it remained to be seen.

"An earthquake, here?" the clerk asks, kneeling down, bracing himself against one of the shelves as the shaking continues, "We've never had earthquakes here before. A couple of tornadoes, yeah, maybe, but I thought earthquakes and tornadoes were from different parts of the country..."
"Eva...we need to get going. I think we should check on the others now..." Grave says, his tone low, serious, "Here, keep the change and keep this stuff behind the counter or something please? We'll be back in a little while..." Reaching into his pocket he takes out a couple hundred dollar bills, shoves them into the clerks hands, then leads Eva back outside and down to the end of the block. "You feel the shaking right? Can you sense anything something this way, cause I'm afraid they're the same thing..."
-=-=-=-
"True, Luft is very reckless," Dart says, standing up and watching as Dmitri moves about. Sticking his left arm out there is a blue light that takes on the form of a sword, "But, he's got a big heart, and he's very strong, and he always has some sort of plan up his sleeve. And now, he has extra firepower...literally..."
With that he follows Dmitri out of the warehouse, and soon they catch up to Spiral. Ahead he hears the car stop, and a moment later there is an explosion, and a cry of pain that echos through the streets, bouncing off the nearby buildings. Without saying a word Dart speeds up, and when he arrives on the scene he finds a Goliath class demon, as tall as any skyscraper and very strong physically, but with no magical properties like smaller demons. Dmitri would probably know all of this when he saw the thing, as the foreign sounding man seemed to know almost as much as he did on the subject of demons, maybe even more.
"He has all the normal weak points!" Dart calls out, watching as the demon clutches at his eye with one hand and begins swinging the club it carries wildly around, "They'll just he much harder to effect. He should be big, slow, and dumb, got it?" This was directed more towards Spiral than anyone else, seeing as how Luft was up in the air still and out of earshot.

Concentrating, Eva pushed her senses outward, trying to detect anything untoward in the area. It was a bit like moving through water- slower than you wanted, and costing a little more effort, but highly possible. "It's... something large. Very large, and strong, I think." Her eyebrows furrowed as she tried to pinpoint exactly where it was coming from. It was close, and yet...
"There. It's in that direction." She pointed a little off to Grave's left, and chewed her lip thoughtfully. Unless she was mistaken... "Luft is there, and I think the others are approaching as well." She was perhaps a bit surprised to discover this; had Grave's own energy really stopped her from noticing that her friends and allies were moving at all? Maybe she simply hadn't been vigilant enough. This was all still new to her, after all.
"Maybe we should go help them..."

Still flying towards the giant demon, Luft is able to dodge it's annoyingly large club that was easily the size of a five story building. Though with something this big, he doubted he would be able to take this thing down by himself, hopefully the others would show up soon and they could formulate a plan.
"Wait, wait, wait." The boy mutters to himself as he reaches the things face.
"How the hell am I supposed to talk with the guys down there....." He says as he stabs into the demon's shoulder, which to it probably felt like a mosquito bite. Finally after a moment of contemplation as he tried to pull Dawn out of the things skin, Luft realized he could use Feuer's gem. Concentrating hard the boy begins to skywrite with the flames allowing a message to appear for a couple seconds it reads.
"So does anyone have a idea of how to kill this thing? Also, I can see my house from here! -Luft"

Re: [OOC] Soul Gems: SPIRIT War
Also, glad you're all amused. It's hard trying to write someone so serious when all I want to do is laugh at all the silly things he does. XD
Re: [OOC] Soul Gems: SPIRIT War
Side note: Dimitri giving Spiral a piggyback ride made me chuckle :D

As for a new RP, as long as it's either complicated, twisted, convoluted, or plain ironic, reserve a spot cause I'm in. Also, if you really are planing a sequel to this (which I think might be the case. Don't want to jinx it though) I wouldn't mind tagging along again as Spiral.
Re: [OOC] Soul Gems: SPIRIT War
Re: [OOC] Soul Gems: SPIRIT War
I had one idea for plot though...something happens, a world war maybe, in modern times, and the world as he know it is changed forever because of it. People in this new world learn alchemy, some version of it, like maybe it's a magical process or something...
Anyway...yeah.
I'm still glad to see everyone is posting in this rp. Usually my rps fall flat after about 10 posts ^_^'
Re: [OOC] Soul Gems: SPIRIT War
The Spiral and Dmitri show... slaying demons, robbing mansions, eating cookies, and utterly failing to communicate." XD
Sorry; just had to throw that out there. And Sir is creepy. That is all.
Re: [OOC] Soul Gems: SPIRIT War
Alright, so here's Sir's true form as a Voidwalker...or stalker, I don't remember which. Also, I'll reveal his demon name soon as well.
