Introduction
You're an imaginary friend or foe with a power and a whole life behind you. How will you deal with this darkness that is invading? Are you the one invading or an imaginary friend gone bad or will you fight for the light? Who will you become? Choose your own destiny. Become a hero or a villain. The fate of our world is up to you.... Choose wisely.
FYI I have been hinting at some characters that are open for the grab if you want them. If you don't, that's fine! I don't want to hinder your creativeness poured into your own character. You can take these "hints" in any direction you like. They're totally free for anyone who wants them.
Cara's Mad Victim- Nothing is known about her besides she is secluded in Canon Canyon and could hold all the answers to how to defeat the darkness... but nothing is for sure. Cara told her too much and it overwhelmed her, driving her insane. We don't even know her power nor her condition, so it's all up to you.
The Darkness- As Cara refers to them as her masters/bosses, it would probably be cool if they were actually characters, giving Cara orders on how to destroy the world. You've got to be great at being an evil character. I'd love to see someone nail this part! :) And yes, there can be more than one person playing the darkness.
The Mountain Boy- A mysterious boy gone missing in the Mountains of Mayhem. I'd love to see the "cursed" boy turn out to be good, but if he was a villain that would work too. It's up to you what happened to him and why his tracks mysteriously stopped.
I know I made this late so if your character doesn't follow the skeleton but you've already made it, you don't have to. If you're knew, try and follow the skeleton. If you don't, it isn't like you'll be in trouble. I just like detail. :)'
Skeleton

Ability: (What power did Maria Conner give them?)
Strengths: (Besides their power, what are they good at?)
Weaknesses: (Everyone has flaws. What can't they do? Can they not control their power? Are they out of shape? What are their limits?)
Biography: (Most important. Give them background. Make us like or dislike your character! Be VERY descriptive. Where are they from? What's their parents' names if they have any?)
Weapon or Anything They Carry: (What do they carry around with them?)

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 9 authors

I walk the road between two worlds, reality that is our reality, and the reality of another. A little girl plagued by nightmares that
just won't come to an end. I should know I brought those nightmares to her. She is a remarkable child, anything she sees comes fourth, and so anything I bring to her becomes a reality as well. It is rather fun watching what her mind becomes after the thoughts are planted in her. In our reality I am a ghost, a fiction you see in the corner of your mind. Yes, I am there I am everywhere and everything. The smallist kitten, to the mightiest whale, but for now I take the form of a man for it is easiest to play my part dressed as the rest of you are.
The city was busting after what had occuered and as they brought forword the wounded I smiled. They had done their part and now so must I. I hummed a sweet lulluby to wisk those wounded souls to sleep. They would become his new followers, he would shape their memoires to his own likeing, making them believe The Light was responsible for the blast. It was a rather brillent idea, at least he thought so.
"Hush, child, the darkness will rise from the deep,
And carry you down into sleep
Child, the darkness will rise from the deep,
And carry you down into sleep.
I'll shape your beleif
you'll always follow the voices beneath.
Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty, loyalty
Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty only to me." (Heather Dale, Mordred's lullaby)
"Vivienne?" Emma asked, her green eyes scanning the area. Emma stuck her thumb into her mouth and began softly gnawing on it. It was a bad habit she got when she was nervous. Emma took in a deep breath.
If I can just get out of the crowd, maybe she'll find me or I'll spot her.
Emma hurried through the busy streets, only reaching an open area when she saw the sign.
"Thanks for visiting Aster City! Come again!"
Emma stared at the sign. She had never saw that side of the welcome and goodbye sign. Emma had never even thought about leaving Aster City. And here she was, on a race to River Town, the place she swore never to return to. Emma turned to look back for Vivienne, but to her horror, a hiss came from behind her. She turned only to let out one word.
"CRAP!"
....
The Snow Beast had just finished a good meal. The child was.... eight maybe? It was stupid for wandering into this part of the woods. Sean had secluded him as deep into the middle of nowhere as he could, but people were still curious. The Beast smiled sickly at his strange popularity. He was some sort of tourist attraction... but any brave enough to find the main event became the main course.
Just as the Beast prepared to take a nap on his full stomach, a small yet angry cry arose from a nearby spot in the forest. The Beast couldn't comprehend what the voice was saying, only that it seemed like less and less people valued their lives anymore... more and more wanted to visit him. The Beast looked around, but couldn't see where the owner of the voice was. As he shook off the blood of his last meal, he charged at where the last noise had came from, only being stopped by the chain around his leg. He growled and yanked with all his might, but couldn't break the chains. He let out a horrid cry as he lay down in the snow, defeated by the brains of his human form. As he drifted off, he slowly began to change to a scrawny boy with black hair and pale skin. The boy laid in the snow, surrounded in the blood of the child he hadn't meant to kill. He did not stir in his deep sleep.
...
Cara James strolled along the city. She was unnoticed by many and those who saw her were too busy worrying about the explosions and earthquakes than to think of what an innocent looking girl may be plotting. Cara tried not to smile at how stupid these people were. They were too daft in their end to think of the girl that walked and talked like them. They were too selfish to point a finger at the girl who they had taken everything away from. Suddenly, a pain shot through Cara's body. It wasn't the pain of some kind of wound, but the pain of remembering her parents. Remembering what had been done to them. Remembering how cruel the people who murdered them were. Hate ran through her body like blood pumping through her veins.
They deserve to die! Cara thought in anger. She huffed and marched along the sidewalk, not noticing the very few people who wondered if she was here... who had noticed her.... She thought she was safe. She was as far from safe as she could get.

This was unacceptable for Eran, who still had a pure heart, was very angry at that beast. The normally shy Eran, who never showed his real justice sense to anybody, was red because of anger. He still had fear too, but the anger managed to make his fear go away. He climbed down the tree. With a pouting face, he tramped angrily to the direction of the beast. He saw him to be very full, had a somekind of a smirk on his face that wanted to mess around more with Erans anger and so he fasten his steps.
He noticed his behaviors was a bit strange. What does he do there? Was he... then he spotted the chains on his feets and felt a joy in his heart. Now, it wouldn't be easy for him to escape him. He would easily... what? What was he going to do? Kill that beast? Eran stood still all of the sudden. Thinking. What was he about to do? Killing?
Eran would never do something like that, although it was against a killing beast. He was too pure hearted for such a murderous thought. What did he expect to do? Make him, that beast, hear him out and learn from that? He couldn't be! His thoughts was interrupted by a horrid cry in that beasts direction, what made him shake through all the parts of his body. He was scared. He looked up carefully and glanced at the direction where the horrid cry came from...
But then he saw the unbelievable: That beast turned to be a scrawny boy with black hair and pale skin! It was shocking for him. Eran never met shapeshifters and was, for a couple of second, very speechless. A boy? Such a frail boy is that beast? "T-That's..." He didn't know what to say. He didn't know how to react. He doesn't know anything.
Slowly, very slowly he stepped forward and had a complete different view of the situation now. That boy looked... pitful. Although he was covered with blood, what very much came from that kid he killed, but still, he had such an... innocent face that Eran couldn't believe that the beast was actually him. He squat down beside him and carefully touch his neck, wanting to check, if he is dead... or not.

After he was done speaking, Emma turned around to see nothing, and she murmured a small "crap". Dower was looking right at her, even though she couldn't see him, he knew she knew he was there.
"So, you do recognize my voice Emma. It has been a long while since we last spoke. Trying to suppress your sorrow by fear, anger, joy. But answer my question Emma. Do you want the sorrow to continue? Letting the dark win will kill everyone, so there will be no more sorrow."
The setting changes from Aster City to Imaginary and Beautiful World
"That's just being alive. You have sadness in life, but it will pass. Good can prevail. And, by warning everyone, we can save lives. Wouldn't a mother be more happy to know her child is living than dead? If I let them die, I'll be just like the people killing them. My turn to ask a question. Where is Vivienne?"
Emma seems very strict with her last words. Although Emma is a joyful person, she doesn't look happy one bit.
"If you've done anything to her, you're not going to just get away. So, shall I ask again? Where is she?"
...
Sean woke up to fingers on his neck. His eyes shot open and he grabbed the arm of the person touching him. Sean was about to ask who he was and what he was doing when he realized the situation. He was sitting in a pool of blood and bones.
"Ah!" he screamed, leaping out of the bones. Shaking, Sean backed up, but his sore foot gave way and he landed on his rear in the cold snow. He had surely twisted his ankle from the Beast pulling at the chains.
Sean placed his head in his hands. What had he done? What had happened? He looked up to the boy staring back at him.
"If you're going to kill me, do it," Sean said, hoarsely. "Kill me."
The setting changes from Imaginary and Beautiful World to Canon Canyon
"It's good to get out...good to get away from the tent...away from this canyon." He mumbles and jumps over a small hole. He pulls the bag out of his pocket and sticks his hand in it, pulling out a small sticky orb. He puts it in his mouth as he walks further and further, jumping over the descending death gorges.
"Must head to new place...new place like the Tundra...yes, the Tundra." He walks for hours and stops for a rest.
"Just for a minute." He closes his eyes and drifts off to sleep. Minutes turn to hours and Sarz enters a deep sleep.
The setting changes from Canon Canyon to The Tundra
"Good." He gets in the ditch slowly and checks his robe.
"I forgot the blanket...curses." He stabs his bow, upright, into the ground. He itches his head, thinking. He gets an idea. He tears at the snow, making a small indent in the middle of the ditch, before hollowing out a bit in the bank. Sarz sits in the bank indent.
"Perfect...now for a fire." Sarz jumps out of the ditch and gathers some sticks, he comes back and dumps the stick in the middle. He begins rubbing two of the sticks together, hoping for a spark in the chill.
"Come on..." Sarz rubs the sticks faster. He stops, puts another sap ball in his mouth and continues, getting faster. Finally, after ten minutes, smoke rises and a spark turns into fire. He sits in the hole in the bank and relaxes.
Eran flinched as that boy opened his eyes. He was curious, scared and was confused what he should do know. As that boy seem to wonder about him touching his neck, Eran could just blush slightly, really confused and embarassed.
"Ah!"
As that boy screamed, he flinched again and distanced himself from that boy. What? Why did he scream? A feel of pity went through Eran, while still had his stare on that boy as he shaked like crazy. And at the time he wanted to go away, he stepped back and was ready for a strike, holding his hands in front of him, being on guard. But as he slumped into the snow again, Eran relaxed a bit, though without being off guard. But he seem... confused to him. Scared and... confused. Eran didn't know what to do and continued to stare at him.
"If you're going to kill me, do it,"
Now he had come back to the thing he had wondered about. What was he going to do with that boy, whose strengh had lost him and carving for death? Was he stupid? Or just... he didn't saw any other possible answer? Was he desperate? A small hurting feeling he had... Eran went through the same pain. Now he pitied that boy in front og him. He had no longer the intention to kill him.
"Kill me."
Eran sighed. "I will not do that. But you come with me. I want to know what is... inside you that made you like this." He gave the bones of that boy a side glance and neared that boy again, now trying to open the chains, wanting to save him. So he wouldn't end up being a small coward that turns his back from reality... like him.
He managed to open it and offered that boy his hand. "Stand up." He demanded with a strong voice.

One half of his was terrified. He shook, partly because of the cold and partly because of the fear he had running through his veins. This boy had taken off his chain! If the Snow Beast was able to reach the town, he would kill. And this boy wanted to know what made him like this. It made him nervous.
But Sean also had a sense of bravery. He didn't want to seem like a coward. So, he got up, rubbing his sore ankle as he did. He looked at the boy for direction. Sean wasn't sure he even knew the way back to the city. But, he decided to trust the boy... it was his only chance.
"Well, Vivienne is still back at the entrance hall of your apartment. I can retrieve here if you want. And it seems that I can't change your mind, I could help you get to river town much faster"
Eran tried a smile as Sean grabbed his hand. He pulled him up to his feets and his shy nature came back. He scratched his cheeks avoiding his eyes as good as possible. Never he thought he would end up saying something that strong to someone he just met. "Emm.. Y- yes... You are not i- injured right?" What a stupid question, he said to himself, it was the blood of the boy that he killed! And now he asked the murderer if he is injured or not? Is he stupid?
"Forget it... Emm... M- my name is E-eran." He stated and shyly smiled at him, not letting go if his hand, not wanting him to be 'free'. He still feared him, but a sympathy came up him and he didn't want to leave him alone. His appearance told him he was lonely... like himself. Not belonging anywhere, thrown away and feared by the society. It must been hard on him.
So he get his act together, and breathed regulary out and inside. He was conflicted what he was going to do next with him. But then he managed to ask the main question: "WHO are you exactly? What is that beast? Was it YOU?" He asked and stared at his face for some long time, really wanted to hear an explaination about all this. Did he done it really because of that beast inside him? Or did he conciously kill that small boy until just his bones left? A shiver came through his body as he remembered the state of the boy, but he managed to keep his eyes on the guy in front of him, holding his hand tightly so he couldn't escape.
The setting changes from Imaginary and Beautiful World to River Town
It eats away at your brain until you can't take it for much longer. Then you go mad. You lose all the sanity you ever had. And who knows what you'd do to get it back.
Michelle Reed was in a precarious situation.
River Town was truly beautiful and peaceful. It was a place for the dangerous people to stay... well, the smart ones. It was a good place to learn to control your powers, if you didn't want to completely isolate yourself, like in the Mountains of Mayhem. But, the quietness and stillness of the whole city drove Michelle to the point where she couldn't take it anymore.
Michelle sat with her pant legs rolled up and her feet in a small stream. She sat on a rock and let out a groan.
"There is nothing happening. Nothing going on. Nothing at all. River Town in such a bore..." she grumbled.
Michelle knew something was very wrong with the peace. Peace never lasts.... and she was half thinking of going and finding out why everyone was so quiet in other cities. But, of course, that would take effort. Although Michelle was bored, she was lazy.
So, in frustration, she screamed as loud as she could, probably being heard all throughout the vast land.
The setting changes from River Town to Imaginary and Beautiful World
The boy had a lot of questions, most of these Sean didn't even know how to begin answering. How he had came to be the legendary Snow Beast was a thing of mystery to even him. But, he decided it would be good to start with a name.
"My name is Sean," he said in a hoarse and quiet voice. His throat was scratchy and he felt sick at the smell of death all around him. "I was a shape-shifter with full control over my power. I never hurt anyone and I had never transformed into a beast like the one I do now. One day, I just lost it. Now whenever my adrenaline is peaked or I'm hungry, it happens. So, I locked myself away for good measure. But every now and then a curious person strolls along, thinking I'm just a stupid myth. And I can't stop myself."
He tried to pull his hand free, but the boy seemed to have an iron grip. Normally, Sean would have been strong enough to release himself, but he was tired and miserable, so he didn't prevail. He looked at the boy and gave him a serious look. "Just, whatever you do, don't take me back to town."
...
Emma stared at Dower, completely surprised. He, of all people, wanted to help her get to River Town. Emma figured he would try to sabotage her trip or kill them both in the process. But Emma's power sensed that he was right. It would be faster if their were three of them to fight off whatever crap was in store for them on the way there.
Although her gut screamed at her not to, she nodded. "Alright," she said. "I guess we could use some more company." Her voice still seemed a bit cold and stern. "But if you try anything, anything in the slightest, you will regret it. So, let's go get Vivienne."
...
Cara couldn't help but smile. She had played her part in striking fear into the city. And now the others who were with the Darkness were going to play their hand. Now Cara just had to stay out of sight at watch the world fall apart.

Canon Canyon was made for people who can fly or hike through tough terrain. It is extremely dangerous for people without abilities like this... That why it isn't a tourist attraction.

Skyscrapers everywhere! It's like a made up New York City inside of this world. If you like big cities, this is for you. Yet, it's the #1 target for the darkness that is coming since it is so highly populated.

Hard to climb and scary are perfect words to describe this wasteland. Add a curse in there and who would want to get near it?
