Hello! I just wanted to show my interest in this roleplay. It seems very well thought out and I am thinking about making a character. But I think I will wait until you have everything posted on the front page.

Hello! Forgive me if I am mistaken, but haven't you posted in the Interest Checks Post? If that was you, you can make a Character right away if you wish to do so!

I just wanted to let you know that this looks great!!! Unfortunately, I don't really know if I have the time to create a character, but I'll make time if I have to! If I'm too late to play one of the Seven, are there any other possible characters I could play?

Seriously, you did a good job!!!

You're still able to create one of the Seven Children, so you can make one of them (although they're all evil so far -_-), so we'll need some good ones, or some Exorcists too. We have two Demon Kings for now so that should do us until one of them dies, I guess?

And then we have the random other people in the WDL and Hell, basically cannon fodder, but if you want to make a special Character that I haven't written about, then go ahead and PM me about it.

Well, my character is not really evil...like he said, he's just Gray...not evil..and he's working with the Exorcists right now, ya know...

[Tanman]

Well, I submitted my character. I'm working on updating it as time goes along, and I figure I've got time seeing as the opening isn't even up yet. Got an exam in the next few days, but I'm pretty free after that to join in on the shenanigans.

[zody]

@Tanman: I liked how you've already decided how Ash is gonna work for the Exorcists, and your Past Bio is darn good. I'm also fine with you updating every now and then, since Deon isn't exactly finished either xD

Oh, and the Opining should be posted tonight.

In the rules, you said keep it at least PG-13. Does that mean we can do mature stuff in this roleplay?

Yes, but if it gets that far, take it to PM's, alright? No blinding.

@Zody: Just filling the gaps. Most people seemed pretty darn evil (Or at least, that's how it seemed to me. Maybe cause they're all demons?), and on top of that, a massive gender imbalance to the males. Looking forward to roleplaying with you all when the time comes.

Actually... On secondary inspection, they might be good. The demon characters I mean. Maybe we should indicate where we intend to go so we don't have things being too one sided? Then again, I guess there's always the potential for development through corruption/salvation...

And, since I feel like making a topic of conversation, anyone else noticed that practically everyone can mess the hell up with everyone elses minds? Telepathy, mind reading, lie detection, manipulation, memory alteration... and a guy that could technically copy all that. That's one psych-trip worse then Total Recall...

[Mac the Impaler]

Well... I was going for a guy who worked with, and had power over, the intangible. I was expecting everyone else to go down the elemental powers, summoning, shapeshifting, god powers route so I figured i'd try and change it up a bit, but apparently I got in too early and set a trend instead :p

[The Great Thundorz]

My guy is a demon? Pffff!!! And did you now? I thought I did that, but I guess not xD

You're right...I think we seriously need some more 'good' exorcists. If this continues, there won't be a struggle between good and evil but a struggle between the two dark side (not that I don't think that kind of struggle is not interesting...I mean, how many roleplays or stories have you read that write about two opposite evil side fighting each other?)

And as for the 'Mindfuck' topic...well, I agree with you about that, too...our powers mostly use to fuck each other's mind though I read two Lie Dectection, was that your intention? Maybe we should only restrain a Major Mental power and a Minor one each character only? Or should we just go all the way and screw everyone's head? Because if we go with option number 2...it will be a hell of a roleplay but very very hard to do it 'cause I imagine there'll be many sub-plots, many lies, many fake memories and connections between two sides and seriously need a lot of co-operation in order for it to work out all right.

As for the rating part, if we can do the not-too-mature-but-still-be-mature stuffs here, would you mind adding the Mature tag in the roleplay, Zody?

[Tanman]

@blackwolf: Two lie detections? I don't see two lie detections. Does anyone else see two lie detections? *Whistle*

Regardless of that uh, topic; Given I get through my exam/work in the next few days, I might throw together an exorcist that will, for the most part, work with my demon as sort of a leash to go with the metaphorical collar of the WDL. Makes for some nice, easy post material when you can have back and forth banter too. Even if we don't make proper characters up for them, we might just need to generally throw in some lackey people to help guide the WDL.

Back to the mind-manipulation, I think limiting the number of mental powers per-person is still going to create a headache for everyone (Ha, see what I did there?), so the latter option is probably better. I'd like to assume that alot of the minor manipulation powers either won't work at all on a demon child (Provided they're of reasonable mental acuity), or specifically immune in demon form - perhaps even reversing some of the manipulation done. Heck, maybe even the WDL have methods to detect and reverse demonic interference? Who knows? Either way, I'm all for keeping the powers as they are, and although I'll try to be aware of who and what each person could technically know/do with their mental powers, if there's anything that anyone wants to know while constructing a post to keep things in character (EG. Is my character lying? What's her childhood memory of carnivals? What is she thinking at this time?) I'm more than happy to respond here or in PM.

Personally, I think it'll be neat that everyone's getting deep into everyone's psyche (And I only just now noticed how many brackets I used in that last paragraph. Gotta stop doing that...).

[zody]

Well, I'm planning on creating a Demon Queen, and Exorcist and another person who will be tied into the plot... sort of... I guess?

Anyways, Demons are more resistant to eachothers powers than Humans... too many mindscrewers in here guys.

It'll be like Higurashi but even harder to explain to somebody.

I... well, yeah. That's it xD

The WDL have been fighting Demons for ages now, so they're prepared. Shall we get this show on the Road, then?

[Tanman]

Probably should move the information from the Interest check to the Intro, for ease of the readers. And I'm cool with starting so long as this intro post from you is super special spectacular to give enough context and environment cues for everyone to seamlessly slip in and work out what's going on, where and what to do and such.

Or if we're supposed to wing it and just make up the setting as we go, well, I guess I'd be down with that.

[feral gale]

My character doesn't have the ability to mess with anyone's mind...But well, I suppose his gender (or is it her?) is enough to make someone feel dizzy. And we can start if you guys want...I guess my character needs a little more time but well, I suppose I can try and finish him tonight or tomorrow depends on my writer blocks...

[zody]

Just so nobody Posts yet, I'm working on an Introductory Post as we speak.

@feral gale: Just call it.. erm... her? Uh, Him? It? *Shrug*

@Tanman: I intend on doing that soon enough, the Post is first though.

[feral gale]

To Zody: Well...call Nathan...him since it is his original gender anyway.
