Hello, friends... Tonight, we find ourselves on Main Street, inside of a city called Athánatos. To any average person, they may not know of this city, mostly because it's cut off from the rest of the world. It even has it's own government. But, as of late, the city has undergone a, shall we say, metamorphosis of sorts. One that would change the citizens of Athánatos until their very last breaths. 

Are you ready for the events that will unfold?

Good.

Now, follow me as we go down the streets and through the night 

into the world of madness...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Welcome to the revived Athánatos (Meaning 'immortal' in greek) RP Sign-Ups.

Those of you brave enough to proceed shall be thrust into a hostile world and story filled with mystery, surprises, conflict, and war.

 

Here is a quick background of the history of the city of Athánatos, and its current trials.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 In a dim and distant future, mankind has been altered after a reconstruction of the race. The Earth is now anew and its inhabitants are now vastly different.

 

How did this occur?

 

     60 years ago, In the small city known as Athánatos, beasts and humans lived alongside each other. Different variations of these beasts existed, such as vampires, werewolves, incubi, succubi, ghosts, wendigos, and so many more. It was like this for the longest time.

 

     During that time, scientists produced two prototype serums; one vaccine that would keep the humans immune from the deadly infections and virus of the beasts, and a serum to help humans unlock the hidden powers in their brains, gaining super-human abilities. The government had over 200,000 human participants. It was a monumental success for about 20 days...

Until the of autumn that year.

 

     The vaccine had failed to fully work, as the human participants began to turn into beasts themselves. Unable to fully control themselves, they lashed out and terrorized Athánatos, and created a bloody massacre. The ones already born as beasts fought alongside and rebelled, the majority of them saying they will one day take control of the city, and eventually, the world. The humans, with their new super-human abilities, as well as some good beasts, fought for peace and power. They fought for almost 5 years straight, and the war spread all throughout the world, until both sides gave up. They regretted diminishing their races, and begin reconstruction of their city and races.

 

     Now in present times in Athánatos, reconstruction is complete. The city still combines beasts and super-humans, now know as Espers. However, the bias government gives full privacy to the Espers, while the beasts are heavily criticized, monitored, and segregated. The whole government is filled with corruption and lies. At the moment, the city is undergoing a large rebellion because of a string of murders that occurred. All of the murders involve the victims hearts torn out, and having black fangs lodged in their collarbones. Some  rebels are on opposing sides, and some don't want to get involved at all. Who caused the murders, and could the rebellion fix or destroy the city? How will the government reacts.

 

This story is still unwritten, and so is yours.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

Now for character sheets! You can have multiple characters as either an Esper or beast. Espers possess super-human abilities that are controlled by their minds. Examples of the powers of an Esper could be things like psychokinesis, chronokinesis, teleportation, etc. 

Those of you who choose Espers, you can use this video as reference for abilities, or look one up one your own. Make sure it isn't too overpowered.

 

 

For those of you who choose beasts, you have a variety of monsters to choose from. Like vampires, werewolves, incubi, succubi, ghosts, wendigos, etc. Choose whatever to your hearts consent. 

 

Now for some rules!

• No godmodding
• Follow general forum RP rules
• Romance is allowed, but keep it PG-13.
• Keep any possible violence somewhat tame.
• Have fun!

His parents were killed when he was around 10-years-old by an unruly vampire. He escaped by lighting the house on fire and escaping, leaving the vampire to burn inside. A nice esper named Ellen took him in and raised him like a little brother for the rest of his youth. 
Wants: To bring peace and find love. To become first-chair cellist in the Athánatos Symphony.
Problems: Is in a low-income environment. Is too scared to really do anything.

So sorry guys! I'll post in a little bit. First, two questions.One, does Artemis have a cellphone? and second, what time of day is it now?

So sorry guys! I'll post in a little bit. First, two questions.One, does Artemis have a cellphone? and second, what time of day is it now?

Well, for time of day, it's a late Wednesday night now. Like, 9 to 10 PM, since I assume the battles with the hellhounds took a while. If needed, we can skip to the next morning if you guys want.

I don't think we should just yet. After all, Night is when the beasts come out to play! Well, the ones that weren't killed. But that's just my opinion lol.

I was kinda thinking the same thing. I was just wanting to know what others wanted to do as well. lol.

I already prefer the night myself. Night time always seems to convey the mystery we're going for better.

 

That and Night is awesome.

It's quiet.....

Yes Artemis has a cell phone

If and/or when everyone is settled, we can head on to the next day if needed.

Yeah, let's do that. Even the longest night must end and all that. X3

Okay then. Seems appropriate since most of the cast is done for the night. The terrible, terrible night.

Right, so whatever you guys post, you can skip to the next morning if needed. The city will be a bit of- Well, okay, a big mess in the morning from the rain and hellhound battles. More events will await! 

Refer to this poem excerpt.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When the white flame in us is gone,And we that lost the world's delightStiffen in darkness, left aloneTo crumble in our separate night;When your swift hair is quiet in death,And through the lips corruption thrustHas stilled the labour of my breath --When we are dust, when we are dust! --Not dead, not undesirous yet,Still sentient, still unsatisfied,We'll ride the air, and shine, and flit,Around the places where we died,And dance as dust before the sun,And light of foot, and unconfined,Hurry from road to road, and runAbout the errands of the wind.

I'm ready to go, but I was going to wait on Yuffie to post.

Guess she can try to catch Lilith later

AAAHH.

 

Sorry for such a long post, guys. Heavy dialogue between two of your own characters does that.

AAAHH.

AMEN. 

BTW, for those wondering what 'the wall' is and how it works, here it is.

 

It's basically a thick and very tall concrete structure that surrounds the city and prevents anyone, or anything from getting out. Most dream of what is beyond it.

It's old, just like the city, but not all that easily breakable. The combined efforts of many people from the last big rebellion were able to take a big chunk off of it, but it was not easy. Things like hammers or even bulldozers are barely enough to crack it. Now, as the years went by, people have discovered more and more vulnerabilities to it. What they might be, we can discuss if needed to.

However, with time, there were things added to the wall to make it a bit less accessible. One upgrade to it are vines, but not just your run-of-the-mill overgrowth.

 

They have the ability to sense heat and movement, and will go after anything that gets too close to it. They can peel off of its surface at a limited distance, and if the victim gets really close to them, they will try to bind, strangle, and kill. These plants are provided by the lovely government!~

They can be stopped, however. There is a main source of the growth. There are various places of where it is speculated to be, but nobody is quite sure. But, if one destroys the source, the rest of the growth will be completely obliterated.

 

So, yeah.

Any questions?

*Pokes the RP*

*Pokes the RP*

Oh. Hello.

Sorry I haven't posted my response for a while. I was pretty busy the past couple weeks, but now I'm back on track. Besides that, I kinda wanted to wait until Shard's awaited return. I don't want him to miss out on anything, you know?

This rp isn't dead, I swear. lol.

Tonight I was in the mood to clean my room.

So I did so.

Late reply. Eugh. Well, I figure he has had problems that are internet-related, but I'm not quite sure. Also, you're right. There is a pulse. It's in my sig, I guess. lol.

Oh, okay. 

Well, not a ton of stuff went down when compared to the night before in the RP. There has been secret talk of a rebellion about trying to break down and/or get over 'the wall' on the night of the next full moon. The university students are required to help clean up the mess of the other night right now. Besides those, not much else. Not unless any of you guys have anything to say otherwise. lol.
