-Color: Veins of a New World-



“The afterlife is rumored to be a peaceful place according to the occupants of Earth. Although many humans remain skeptical about the topic of afterlife, there are also many believers. These believers make stories and stories evolve into religion. Though no one truly knows what lies beyond death. All they can do is wait to see what happens when they die.”

A tall being sat at the other end of the table, a very heavily armored being. Under his spiked helmet, he frowned as he was becoming angered from having to wait for the signing to start.

Another being sat next to him, his sister. She was fairly grumpy as well.

For the first time in a very long while, beings besides Destroyers were in the cold, dark meeting room.

Hatred walked in with a long contract. He treaded down the aisle with a stern expression.

The tall being smiled, “Ah, finally. Now we can get to business.” He stood up and took out a pen.

Hatred said in his usual voice, “Signing this contract will benefit both of our empires. Out with the old way of life, in with the new efficient daily doings. As you adopt our resurrection ways, we adopt your rules, and ranking system.”

The tall being said politely, yet mischievously, “Of course, Hatred.” He then signed his signature in red blood. “Off to a brand new world.”

Hatred remained serious, “Yes, a new world.”

***

The Afterlife Program, otherwise known as the Secondian realm, it is a world of reconstructed lives, a realm of second chance, and now a dimension of crumbling hope. Throughout the years of disagreement, a civil war has been raging through their land. One side wants to convert their traditional systems to more advanced ways of society, using the Destroyer’s way of afterlife, while the other doesn’t agree with their change. Many people despise the Destroyers for their progressing conquest of the Secondian Realm. This war has left many people without homes or food. The situation worsens with each death in other universes, for every time someone dies in a foreign realm, they spawn in a random location near civilization with no recollection of their previous life.

Hello everyone, and welcome to Color: Veins of a New World! I really want to start a new RP, since I’m slowly losing interest in Color: The Return. I still plan on working on The Return, but this one really interests me.

So basically in this RP, it’s a civil war in the afterlife. There are two sides; one wants the Afterlife Program to become controlled by the Destroyers, whom have a very technologically advanced society, while the other side wants to keep their traditional spiritual and magical ways of life.

This RP takes place 115 years after the events of Color: The Return. So yes, it is a sequel to an unfinished RP.

To start it off, your character will wake up in a forest, with no memories of their past life. They eventually get them back, but only with my permission. No weapons or equipment is brought with them to the afterlife. No powers either, your character will get that later in the RP. All they remember is their name, and gender, and other obvious things. They also get their skills back eventually.

-Rules-

-I want everything to be literate as possible, with good grammar, and good spelling.
-No powerplaying, godmodding, etc. You know the drill.
-Use common sense and don’t be stupid.
-No trolling, flaming, raging, being stupid, etc.
-If you really want to join this RP, I want you to post often.
-I want people to be patient for the slow posters. (like me) It's one of my pet peeves when someone posts while I'm writing one.

I'm only accepting Darkel's character right now. Just have to wait for him to post one.

I will likely join this when I get the time. I have ideas for a new character.

Do you need to know anything from Color?

Nope.

Name: Brother Goren

Gender: male

Species: human

Appearance: Brother Goren is a tall, mysterious figure, being about six feet tall with a rather fatty build. His skin is an even-toned caucasian, though it is rarely seen due to his outfit. Brother Goren always wears a long brown hooded robe which casts a thick black shadow over his face so that it cannot be seen. In his death, Brother Goren's robes were blessed, causing a gold trim to appear around the edges of his robe. On the back of his robe is the visage of a pair of gold angel wings (he doesn't actually have wings, there's just an image on them on his robe). On his feet he wears a simple pair of brown leather sandals. His hands are bare, revealing his fat, stubby fingers. Around his neck is a necklace which holds a circular relic from St.Martin of Tours. If Brother Goren does remove his hood (and he occasionally does), he has a rather fat head. He is completely bald to the point where his head actually shines a bit, as if it were buffed. He is rather baby-faced, with fat cheeks and a kind smile, as well as kind sparkling blue eyes. He is always clean-shaven. Brother Goren walks with a simple straight wooden cane, which he does due to arthritis in his knees, though he can walk without it. On his right ring finger is a platinum ring with a circular seal which has a gold Greek cross on it. This is the only piece of expensive jewelry that he owns.  

Personality: Despite his menacing appearance when he has his hood up, Brother Goren is a very kind and charitable individual. He is a peaceful fellow and is devoutly religious. He is often called holy by his peers. He is a very giving fellow, the kind who if he were sitting at a table eating a piece of bread and he saw a hungry little boy in the street, he would give the boy his meal. He is a very humble man, living a very simple life despite the fact that his charitableness in his life gave him many riches in the afterlife. He gave all of his inherited riches to the poor in the land. Brother Goren, however, is not a perfect individual. He is a very stubborn man, and will rarely ever give into someone else's will. He curses a lot as well, though never takes the Lord's name in vain, as the tenants of his religion say so. Though he does not remember why, Brother Goren lives by the tenants of the Order of the Black Monks, and is absolutely 100% unable to break their rules no matter how hard he tries. He simply cannot do it. This means that Goren cannot accept any money for any service which he performs, he cannot look at a woman with lust or sexual love in mind, he cannot wound another living thing unless he or a person who is injured and cannot fight is attacked, and he must try all attempt to dissuade his opponents from attacking before killing. If Brother Goren kills any opponent (I seriously doubt it ill ever happen), he will compulsively begin to anoint their body with burial oils and bury them.

Skills: Brother Goren is an excellent doctor, and can make powerful elixirs and tonics that can heal all sorts of ailments out of simple herbs. Though he does not remember where he learned them or how, Brother Goren has his potion recipes memorized word for word, and cannot forget them. Goren also has many different prayers memorized, though (once more) he doesn't know how or why. Brother Goren is also a very good singer. However, his actual powers revolve around his devotion to God. Brother Goren can heal wounds by placing his hands on them and saying a special prayer. Offensively, however, Brother Goren has an interesting ability. So long as he never breaks his vows to the Order of the Black Monks, whenever Brother Goren is attacked, he can call down angelic warrior to protect him. The angels are extremely skilled swordsmen and are very damage-resistant, making it very difficult to defeat them (though it is possible). Once the threat is neutralized, the angel disappears.

So one quesiton; can you die in this rp? Because if we're all already dead, how do we kill what's already dead?

I would like to join. It may be a couple days before I get a character sheet up though :3

You can't die of age or disease in the afterlife. The only way to die is to be murdered. Once you die in the afterlife, you go back to the real world. What your reborn as depends on what choices you made in the afterlife.

I am curious about joining this, since several of my friends are, but in regards to species, are we allowed to just make humans and humanoids, or are certain mythical creatures allowed? I want to know before I try to make a sheet for this.

Anything that can die and would be allowed.

@Maxx - Yeah, they're accepted.

Okay. What about the Altris on Color?

I typically use dinosaurs for a reference when I make dragon characters, because they always seem larger than they actually are when you don't give an image of a dinosaur compared to a human (Maybe it's the length, though a good deal of it is the tail or neck). So, I am going to use measurements taken from this dinosaur here, and provide a size comparison. It's really not that big. The one I want to use is the second largest, the reddish-colored one.

So she can make a dragon but I can't have a character with powers?

Dude, two of my three characters are wearing armor. I know he can't use his powers yet, but he can wear the suit I'm sure.


Also, note that all three of my characters have abilities that will be unlocked later that I didn't put on the sheet.

Hey, I'm pretty sure I said they won't have much equipment with them when the RP first starts. So that means they won't have armor, just normal, uh, clothes I guess.

Also, I'm gonna get this started once Sar and Darky make a character sheet, and maybe Angelwolf too.

I should explain what I mean by the last line of the original post. -> "I'm accepting new characters at the moment, although I don't want a lot." Three characters Maxx? Two should be enough, man. I really, really want only one character for each RPer.

The problem with the armor thing, glict, is that Altris cannot show his face or his entire secret is blown. There's a reason he wears that mask. He has a secret; a secret he will take even past the grave. If I'm not allowed to use even some sort of armor, then Altris cannot be in this roleplay. That mask is absolutely paramount.

I like the idea of having one character. Here's mine.


Name: Ilene

Gender: Female

Species: Half Blood Fiend

Appearance: Ilene stands 5'7" and has a young petite form. She has a rounded face featuring a small nose, average mouth and large eyes almost completely sanguine in color. Her pointy ears protrude from her long stark white hair that ends halfway down her back. Her normal attire is a long red plaid dress shirt with a collar under a open necked long sleeved loose black shirt over top. A double layered black miniskirt completes her look. As far as shoes Ilene usually goes barefoot.

Personality: Ilene is quiet and guarded. Not because she's shy, but because she prefers to watch and listen. When she speaks it is with purpose, asking a question for example, or trying to persuade someone to her point of view. Those who refuse to cooperate she simply works around. However, Ilene makes personal enemies of those that make a habit of being a thorn in her side. Too much time without feeding will make her turn violent as well.

Skills: Unarmed combat and swordsmanship runs in her blood. She is also extremely perceptive, and adept at being strategic in combat. Her levels of speed and endurance are far beyond what can be achieved even with rigorous training. Ilene's feats of acrobatics and flexibility are greater that of a professional gymnast.

Powers/Abilities: Ilene can smell blood from miles away. Her demonic eyes pick up infrared and can see perfectly even in magical darkness. Like many demons she can communicate telepathically. She can also teleport to any source of spilled blood she is aware of. Finally Ilene can manifest her inner demon in the form of growing sharp teeth and claws.

Weapons: Ilene wields a powerful cursed katana that is bound to her even in death. She can summon this sword from any pool of blood. The sword is a nearly indestructible evil artifact that feeds on blood. It has a channel down the middle of the blade which accrues with blood from enemies. Alternatively the handle places the users thumb within reach of the double edged blade, so she can fill it herself. When the channel is full the sword glows red and unlocks it's dark power. The sword cuts through most everything like a hot knife through butter, and the wounds it inflects will not heal if there is an unobstructed path between it and the victim. The nature of the weapon also allows Ilene her block/reflect certain attacks.

Strengths: Ilene is immune to poison and disease, while highly resistant to acid and the elements. Her body requires no sustenance other than blood. She processes incredible physical strength and her wounds close quickly. Like with most demons it is dangerous to try and enter Ilene's mind. Lastly, her body is resilient to most forms of physical damage.

Weaknesses: Ilene is vulnerable to attacks involving holy power or cold iron. Wounds from these attacks are slower to heal as well. Blood is the source of her power and without it she thinks irrationally and overall is much weaker. Lastly Ilene has no form of ranged attack.
