This sounds interesting. Can i reserve a spot?

Edit: Sorry, i know your still under construction but i was wondering. Could a be a person that tends to the veil. Like, they check it every day for rips and tears and if there are any they mend it. If i can i come up if more about it so it could fit the story.

[CNAGamer]

Well....what would you like? A Warden? Or one of the Shadow Creatures? I still have a lot of editing and adding to do.

Well....hm, alright. Give me enough info and I'll add it to the Veil heading.

Okays~

There two types. The Flicken's and The Beobachter's . Flicken means mend. And Beobachter means watchers. A Flicken is one who tends to the veil. They make sure there are no holes, rips, or tears in it. And if there are any they are to fix it. There are three types a Flickens~

Menders- They are the ones that take care of the easy rips and tears. The ones that can be fixed by simply patching them up.

Shifters- Their the ones that take care of the ones created because one of the side has learned about things on the opposite side. They can change into a form appropriate for what ever side and try and return their mind states into believing certain things aren't real.

Erasers- one hopes to never meet one of them. They fix the hardest to mend holes and rips by completely eliminating the source of the tear or rip. These are rarely used though and have only be used once or twice over the span of all time.

A Beobachter is one that guards the veil. They make sure what is supposed too stays on it side of the Veil. There are only two types of Beobachters~

Flyers- They are the ones that can fly in order to guard the higher parts of the Veil.

Walkers- They can not fly and guard of the lower parts of the Veil.



I would be a mender in this case. This is just the basic info so just ask me any question about them if you have any.

Aww.... I developed an awesome character idea while reading the Introduction, then I saw it was Anime only. :(

I don't have anything against Anime at all, but its just not my thing. Seriously though, great idea for an RP, I hope you all have fun!

[CNAGamer]

Interesting, Blue....BUT! How would they fly? They're human, like you and me. All the laws of nature apply here. Also, the Order of Shadows bans the use of any and all magic, since it would mean that the person in question would be possessed, making them a witch/warlock (I need to add Warlocks). Other than that, very good, I'll add them once I update the Warden area. Unfortunately I won't get to that until tonight, for now, I need sleep.

I'm interested to see where this ends up. I'll keep an eye on it. I'm curious to see what the dragons are like in this RP.

Also, BlueTeddy, let me see if I have it right about what you are suggesting for shifters. The way I understood your words is that they can be either humans of non human that can change form to adapt to the appropriate world. They want to heal the veil to keep the worlds seperate.

Hmmm, this gives me an idea. I read a book recently and in it there were these creatures called Navitars. These creatures were modified to be able to pilot ships down a river of some really complex stuff that I frankly don't fully understand (the river was called the Nigh). What if these Shifters were modified humans/creatures to be a sort of mix of the two whose purpose was to fix the veil?

This is just an idea, I don't know what the plan in this case is for the RP. I could have totally interperted your post incorrectly, too, BlueTeddy. I think this sounds like an interesting idea. Looking forward to seeing this develop more!

[BlueTeddyBearMelody]

No, you didn't miss interpert at all Furry Dragon.

And since they can't fly i'll just get rid of the flyers all together so theres only one kind of Beobachter TwiliXDragon.

Okay, Twil, considering everyone else has basically said "This is a great idea, but I'd like to propose my own suggestion!" I'm rather reluctant to ask, but I have two character ideas I'd love to use and think this place would be a great thread to do so. They sort of conform to your universe's laws, but I'm hesitant to simply apply, so I'll make my request here.

Idea 1: A Human who, after their entire city was massacred by Vampires, vowed revenge, and, taking up twin daggers forged specifically to slay vampires, and bringing with them a small supply of food and water, wandered off on the track of the Vampires, charging after them and into the Veil. During this time, they fight countless battles and kill several Vampires, slowly becoming weaker and weaker and yet refusing to stop, eventually keeping their body from falling apart with sheer determination until they finally hunt down the ones they seek to slay, and, avenging those they care about, finally collapse and die. However, due to their sheer will to live, they find themselves unable to pass on to the afterlife, and so end up as a ghost for a while until they finally master shaping their soul into a perfect replica of their old Human form, also compressing their soul to form replicas of the weapons they used in life. You might be asking why I went to such an extent to do this. The answer is that this would serve as a justification to the abilities "Short range teleportation" - as the character could deconstruct and reconstruct their body at will within a certain range thanks to its spiritual composition - "body enhancement/regeneration" - since they could toughen and amplify their physical abilities by compressing the composition of their soul, and could repair injuries sustained fairly quickly - "flight" - since they could just partially deconstruct their body so as to defy gravity - and "the power to create and manipulate a theoretically unlimited amount of knives" - because they can create said knives with their soul and control them at will, allowing them to effectively spam rains of throwing knives so long as they have the strength to do so. Of course, since they've replicated a Human form perfectly, they'd be susceptible to standard lethal wounds, which would simply destroy their soul and remove them from existence, and more complex injuries would take them some time and concentration to fix, so they're no immortal. Still, I really liked the idea, and thought I'd try to use it here.

Idea 2: A Human whose village was attacked by Demons, which possessed several individuals including her. Unaware of what had happened to her during the first stages of possession, she tried to follow her parents as they fled, only to be turned upon and stabbed by her own father, plunging her into despair which, ironically enough, was enough to break the possession of the Demon - but not to fully expel or subdue it - just in time to be thrown underground and shut up inside a mountain where those possessed by Demons were sealed by the villagers when actual slayers weren't available to kill them. Awakening in her new prison, the character wandered around for several years, forced to live by devouring the other fully Demon-possessed individuals in the Underground, consuming their minds with her newfound Witch abilities, as well as their souls, using the powers of the demon still inside her, and the minds and souls of the Demons that had fully and irrevocably taken them over. Eventually, due to this bizarre, abominable feeding, the minds and souls of the character and the Demon still inside her became one, turning the character into an inhuman mix of Witch and Demon while still somehow preserving her Human heart. By the time she finally fought her way out of the mountain and escaped, the disturbance inside had been noticed, and several slayers had been called to eliminate whatever creature was trying to escape, which could thus kickstart the character's intro arc as she flees from the Stalkers and from Humans in general, trying her best to conceal herself and live a normal life without succumbing to the strange and conflicting natures of Demon and Witch, but perhaps even getting caught up in the affairs of the Stalkers herself and joining them at some point in the hopes of finding a way to seal away her bizarre dual nature for good.

Okay, just to let everyone know, I am not accepting characters into this one. I'm going to finish editing it and then reboot it. And Blue, you can actually leave the Flyers in. I'm going to edit your idea a bit and put that all of them are hybrids, half-human half-Shadow, so the Order has found a way to control them and use them for their own purposes, but none of them are actually Stalkers Only pure humans can join the Order and become a Stalker. That will fit just fine.

Tsuki, while I like the idea, a half-ling cannot become a Stalker unless she hides it very very well. Otherwise they will execute her. My main plot is the fact that my character, the prodigy of the Wardens, is half-human half-vampire. He's doing his best to conceal it from his superiors, and his partner knows his secret. And effectively, because she was possessed yet still remained human, she would only be a witch, because that would be considered mastering her possession.
