Save the Heroes

Yes. Pretty long. Hope you can manage. XD I've actually put quite a lot of thought into this. I was planning on posting it in the RP Extended area but knowing me, I'd end up posting short posts. >>;

My inspiration was an Bleach video. I was constantly watching it until I finally thought of a good enough story. XDX

Story
No one’s ever alone. Each and everyone of us has a guardian angel. A Hero. Everyone relies on others to protect them from danger. There are a number of group of people who have watched over a large city known as Manor. These groups of people have saved and risked their own lives to protect others’. Although they may be considered Heroes, they have been in trouble themselves. Some have been killed by those that do not agree or believe everything that these people are doing is wrong or isn’t necessary. Because of this random slaughter, there are a low number of them left. But, there’s also another fault to the fall of these people. There are some that use their power for good but there are others that use their power for evil. Those that use their power for evil, they lose their hearts and become Skulls. Skulls are those that were once known as Heroes. Due to their greed, hatred, or ignorant thoughts and sins, they lose control of their own free will and are controlled by their own petty thoughts. Because of this, there are only about two to three groups left.

There’s another problem, even those that are good, they have been turned into Skulls by a force called Dream Catchers. Dream Catchers have the power to enter people’s thoughts and dreams. Thus, they are able to turn these people into Skulls by using their power to enter their deepest thoughts. But, Dream Catchers has also discovered that normal humans can save the Heroes. It is believed that there are some humans that are “pure” and are able to use their feelings to return those that have been transformed into Skulls, back into Heroes. It can’t be said who and who can’t turn the Skulls back to themselves but it is certain that Dream Catchers wants to destroy the Heroes completely to take over Manor and the rest of the world.

Heroes
These people were born with special abilities. Their abilities aren’t like any other elements like fire, water, ice, wind etc. Their powers were unique and weren’t quite known to Man. Some have said that their powers are too dangerous for human beings to even be near them. There are some that contain their powers but there are others that can’t contain them causing them to lose control and become Skulls. Heroes have been in hiding for a long period of time. But when they are needed, they show themselves and protect those that need protection. Some Heroes go around Manor like any ordinary human but people recognize them and they’re given “special” treatment. There are other Heroes that remain in their homes, waiting until nightfall so they can go around freely without interruption.

Dream Catchers(Creative, aren’t I?)
When the Heroes first appeared, Dream Catchers wasn’t created or formed. But as the Heroes continued to fight and protect Manor, Dream Catchers was soon formed. As the title of the group says, they have the ability to enter people’s dreams and thoughts, for the attempt to find the deepest thoughts and sins. Some Dream Catchers remain hidden, covered in a hood and robe, not wanting to be seen. But others roam around Manor like any ordinary human being which makes it easier for them to find the Heroes. It is said that those that are part of Dream Catchers were given the power to enter dreams and thoughts. Those that are part of this group were once humans.

Skulls
Skulls are those that were once Heroes. But due to their ignorant thoughts and sins, they became Skulls and now have lost complete control from their free will. But there are some Skulls that became what they are because of Dream Catchers. They roam around the city, looking for something to eat. And by something to eat, it’s the humans and Heroes. Since they have lost control, they no longer know what’s friend or foe. There are some Skulls that are like vampires, they only come out at night. And, there are others that only come out in the daylight. But, there are those that roam around during the day and during the evening, making it very dangerous for people to go out at during the day and at night. There have been VERY few Skulls who have suddenly fought back with themselves, not wanting to kill anyone. But, by fighting back, they are quickly found and killed by Dream Catchers. Skulls, as the name says, have a white skull or mask covering their face. Not all masks are the same. Some look as if they were demons from hell.. They have an odd shaped tattoo or marking on their chest. Some of them have long hair but others have short hair. Skulls have thin hands and sharp claws. Since Skulls are like demons, they are taller than the average human being. Some stand up to 7'0". Their main abilities are super strength and speed. Since Skulls were once Heroes, it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to defeat a Skulls. Either the Skulls defeat you and eat you or you runaway, which is close to impossible due to their speed.

Rules
1. Yes, this RP is one of those you can easily god-mod or powerplay. Do any of these, with no warning, I will kick you out. Period.
2. Stay active! If you’re going to post a character, then remain in the RP. But if things begin to come up in school, life, etc. just leave me a VM or PM so I know you didn’t randomly leave. If you need a recap, just ask and we’ll be happy to give you one.
3. Keep EVERYTHING PG-13! Romance, anything over PG-13, take it to PM. Violence, language, etc. keep it all PG-13.
4. No controlling others’ characters.
5. No killing others’ characters without their permission.
6. Four characters MAX. If you already have four characters and one of them dies, I won’t count it against you.
7. Don’t do *this* when it comes to action. Stuff will happen if you do.
8. If you’re going to use a picture for the appearance, please use a link.. If not, try your best to be descriptive.
9. Don’t post too many pages when I’m gone. I tend to be in a bad mood, plus, I’m in school most of the day and I usually can’t get on at night.
10. Make this your own RP, you will die.
11. Be random, you will die.
12. You may NOT be a Skull. Meaning no filling out an OC’s form with the group of Skulls. Skulls are free willed, meaning they can’t be controlled. But, if you decide to make your character encounter one, you may control it but only temporarily.
13. No constant one-liners. I understand writer’s block but I don’t want to see it post after post.
14. If you haven’t figured it out by now, no, this RP is not noob friendly.
15. I want the preview post LONG.
16. If you have any questions, you may leave me a VM or PM.
17. Post “Memories” somewhere in your first post so I know you read the rules. If I don’t see this, I won’t accept you until I do see it.
18. If I add anymore rules, I will let you guys know.

Age: 22
Gender: Female

Side: Good

Bio: When Lightning turned five, her powers first appeared. Her mother wanted to keep her but her father wanted to abandon her, believing Lightning wasn’t human. As she got older, her father became an alcoholic and would beat her mother when ever he was drunk. Because of the domestic violence, Lightning lost her mother when she was 10. When her mother died, that was when her father decided to beat her as well. Lightning got tired of the abuse and decided to run away, changing her name to Lightning. She never tells anyone her real name, feeling as if her name got out, it could be possible that Dream Catchers could go after her father.

Bio: Sarah’s power first appeared when she was only 10, when she “accidentally” entered her sister’s dream. She didn’t understand her power at first but thought it could come in handy. She was soon abandoned by her family. After being abandoned, Sarah began to hate her past and her life. At the age of 15, she met Lightning and decided to work along side her. When the Dream Catchers appeared, they wanted to bring her into the group. She refused and so now she’s usually chased by them. Since her fighting abilities isn’t all that great, Lightning tells her to stay hidden.

He’s constantly looking over Manor, searching for anyone that’s part of Heroes. As he got older, he discovered he was just like one of the Heroes, he had his own special power. He hides that power, only using the one he was given when he joined Dream Catchers.

At the age of 17 he was outside in the middle of a snowy winter when he began to freeze up, his skin turned a icey white and his hair a frost blue, his voice became harsh and he was litterly giving off frost from his skin. This was the start of it all.

Preview Post: Leon walked down the street under a trench coat. His hair was peeking out the back of his hat that matched his coat. It was like a not yellow Dick Tracy walking around. Not far from him a robbery was taking place at a small time shop. As soon as he walked around the corner the robbers began to get away. Noticing the crime he chased them on foot running fast enough to keep the car in sight until his hat flew off and his 'effect' took place as he moved along. Being in a city with no nature wasn't easy but due to the pollen from a flower shop he was effected by it and mutated into a flower-human. His skin was green and his hair was like multicoloured petals and his hands like thorns and vines. In this form he was able to use his thorns to cut and his limbs stretch like tree vines, he was even able to spread a pollen that could have different effects depending on circumstances. Using his vine like arms he stretched and latched onto the car and reeled himself in to stop the car with force. He did so by scaring the driver from sight of his flowery form. He was a hero but his power took its toll.

Name: Gin
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Group: Heroes
Side: In Between
Personality: Usually quiet, likes to keep to himself. He's protective when he needs to be, and cares for those he's with.
Bio: When Gin was born, he was happy. He had a nice family, nice siblings, and a good life. He played with his friends and took care of his younger brother and sister. By the time he was 10, his parents were killed, and he never found the culprits. For the next 6 years, Gin took the place of his parents and took care of his brother and sister. One day, while caring for his sick sister, he noticed a strange marking on his left arm. In seeing this marking, he became frightened of what he was. He tried to keep his time with his siblings scarce, afraid of what he might do. Eventually, he found his powers of being a Hero, and accidentally killed his sister, not knowing how to use his power. His brother, witnessing the killing, ran away, leaving Gin alone...

Preview Post: Gin glanced into the sky, noticing the sun being right overhead. Noon, being about the time for lunch, was not exactly what Gin would call his favorite time of day. The sun was beating down, everyone in Manor looking for something to eat, while Gin felt no hunger, and almost no emotion. He looked down at his drawing, finding all of it's faults and eventually deciding it was no good. He crumpled up the paper and threw it into the trash can. He let out a bored, quiet sigh and went back to his thoughts.

Personality: Quick to act, curious, somewhat caring, can be a real "smart" guy.
Bio: He's been abusing-using his powers ever since he could remember.

Preview post: Holden placed his hands on the smooth yellow hood of the car in front of him, admiring the piece of work. It was a classic car...he didn't know exactly what kind was since he wasn't really a "car" person. Although he did know that the only reason the car wasn't starting up anymore was because of the dusty old battery inside. It had no power. Blah...not as if anyone's using it. This thing was abandoned! Well...maybe someone just parked it here but I'm just going to take this thing away... He popped the hood open and flexed his fingers before placing his hands on what he assumed was the battery. Then...R€D forgot what to put after this since he isn't in that great of a mood.

Preview Post: Crap. Annaly cursed in her thoughts. She dashed along the outskirts of the city, she was trying to lose her persuer, who was a Skull. As she ran she started feeling confused, how was she being able to keep her distance? These things were meant to be bloody fast. She bit down on her lip and put more effort into her sprint. Without even realising, Annaly tripped over a loose rock and fell on the ground. She let out a gasp in shock and tried to get up on her feet but found her left leg paralyzed. Sounds of petty thoughts and gurgly growling caught Annaly's attention. She couldn't run away anymore, her persuer had caught up with her. The Skull stopped in front of her, as if it were waiting for her to make the first move. Annaly stayed still and closed her eyes, waiting for her life to be ended yet again only this time it was death that was taking her life.​

Read the rules. And, your character has too many powers. Dream Catchers only have ONE power and that's to enter dreams and thoughts. Change that.

Another thing, I forgot to add Human to the group thing. >< I knew I was forgetting something. So, if one of you or anybody who wants to join, wants to be a human, you may.

 

I had put in the bio that he had the same power as the Heroes. But, he rarely uses it. I don't really see a difference in the OC form. Figure out what you need.

 

Okay, I saw the power in the first place. But where's the preview post? You need something else too.

OOC: And now that someone else has joined, we may go ahead and start.

BIC:

Lightning stared at her hand, closing it and opening. She wondered why she had the power to paralyze people with contact. Then again, she actually liked it, seeing as how she kind of had an advantage with her enemies. Especially if she's being chased by a Skull. Lightning took a deep breath, closing her eyes. What a pain... She knew she and the others were being watched by the Dream Catchers. They're simply waiting until the Heroes are at a disadvantage. Lightning growled under breath, already getting frustrated with everything that's going on. She's encountered very few Skulls and quite a few Dream Catchers. To her, the Dream Catchers were her main enemy. She shook her head, walking away from the area she was in.

Sarah stared out the window, already getting bored just by staying in her home, "safe." She frowned, feeling as if Lightning might be a little too over protective with her. But, she knew she was just looking after her. She sat on the table, kicking her feet, thinking about what she could do. She placed her elbow against the table and rested her head on the palm of her hand. Maybe...I could draw. Sarah frowned again, knowing she wasn't even near skilled with drawing. She leaned her head back, letting out a loud sigh. "What the hell should I do?!" she shouted.

Void stared down at the floor, hearing the sound of footsteps passing by him. The people of Manor simply walked by him as if he was any ordinary human. Which, he thought was good. It makes it easier for him to look for anyone that's part of the Heroes. He raised his head, hearing the sound of a bus stopping in front of him. Void grinned, stepping in when the doors opened.

OOC: Odd starting point. XD

 

Instead of wearing her usual trenchcoat, Annaly wore a plain black jacket with the hoodie up, a few people knew her a a hero by her face and she's prefer not to be treated the way Heroes were treated at the moment. It frustrated her a lot. She lifter her right arm and folded the sleeve back and looked at the end of the scar that curled gracefully around her wrist, it always brought back the only memory she had retrieved so far from the so called battle she was in a while back. When she was on the verge of becoming a Skull.

 

Jcob, having nothing to do decided to go on a joy ride. He left his house, and jumped into his "borrowed" lamborgini Gillardo convertable. He reved it up and flew out of his garage. He wanted to get out of this cursed town, but knew it was impossible. He drove, racing past people, humans, dream cathers and skulls. Everyone thought he was a human, so he was cool.

 

Annaly lowered her head ever so slightly, to hide her startling blue eyes from anyone's gaze. People tended to gawk at her because of her eyes, it made her feel uncomfortable to no end. Especially if it was a fat hairy old guy that was doing the gawking. She pulled the sleeve of her jacket back down over her right arm and started walking at a faster pace, she took a turn into a random alleyway, not really caring who she would run into or what she could possibly run into.

 

These days, life sucked. Everyone knew it, especially Gin. He felt the shivers of his memories run down his neck, and he played back what he'd done 3 years back, the vivid memory always keeping him up at night. For 3 long years, Gin couldn't forget for one second what he was. Though a Hero, he saw himself as a monster, a killing machine. Though if he killed anyone or thing, it'd be to protect someone, but it is still considered killing. Even if it is a Skull.

Gin angrily threw his pencil at the wall, walking out the door into the open city. What was there to do in this Godforsaken place, anyway? When his kind were being hunted, and the humans are completely helpless. As long as he kept his sleeve over his left arm, he was safe. That's all that mattered. He needed to find his brother.

 

Annaly looked up, her hoodie falling off and resting on her shoulders. On the other side of the alleyway was a man, what caught her attention was the fact that his eyes flashed yellow. Definitely a hero, that's what Annaly thought. She continued walking as if she never looked up at him, hoping he would pass her without making any comment whatsoever.

"Never thought I'd meet someone here, of all places." Annaly found herself muttering.

 

Gin walked through the crowds of people, looking for familiar faces. He knew that he wouldn't find his little brother within the crowds of Manor, yet he still looked with but a sliver of hope.

Gin hooked a left into the ramen store he loved most and sat at the bar. He looked up at the cook and nodded, the cook smiling down at him.

"Afternoon, Gin!" He said. "Good Afternoon, Mr. Hamazachi." He replied, pointing to his usual bowl of ramen. Mr. Hamazachi started on the noodles as Gin looked out the window at the faces. Nothing out of the ordinary, ever.

 

Lightning arrived at a small, poor part of the city. She looked around as most of the people were dressed in rags. She suddenly left something close by. Her eyes grew wide, immediately knowing what it was. "Damn it." she cursed taking off into a sprint. I have to lure it away. She gritted her teeth, fearing for the safety for these people. She looked over her shoulder, knowing it was following her. I guess it wants me. Lightning grinned, trying to get as far away as possible.
