His lovely angel’s face glowed with a smile made by the devil. His perfect gray suit was untouched with a spatter of crimson, and his black curls hung loosely around his face like they always had. But his eyes, however, were just black slits in a sea of mustard yellow.
Along the path, the path lined with roman-styled pillars, were corpses. They ranged from race to race, but all the same. A throat slit, their eyes frozen in fear, and glassy like a fish’s, and a pool of crimson blood formed around them.
But “angel-face” did not care for these things. They were all just commoners, the exact same as one another. They were two, and he was one. What did it matter that those unoriginal imbeciles died?
He knew, however, that his job was not yet finished. There were still more. Thousands more. Millions more. But he needed to create any army... an army that would finish them all off. Angel-face stopped in front of the looking-glass. He smiled at his seductive face. He could draw any woman in. When he did that, the man that loved her would come after to save her from his grasp. And what that happened, he could kill two at a time. Two less to worry about.

PLOT~
Daemon— previously referred to as “angel-face”— is a purebred human who takes on both qualities of a humble human citizen, and a demon. He does not have a split soul, as you do. Daemon lives in this land, a dying breed. Just like now (with our crashing economy) there are very few rich people, or purebreds as they’re called.
But you, however, are a commoner. Your had loved ones in August Hill, and are devastated by the fact that their souls have forever been shattered. But Daemon, however, seems a force unstoppable. You know you cannot stop him by yourself. So you head off and meet others of your kind. Others who want to destroy Daemon as well. You know you have to move hastily in order to eliminate him, or he’ll create an unstoppable army of thousands upon thousands of purebreds, and the world you once knew will be forever lost.
You stand, staring out at the sea, the colour of red wine. You will not let your loved one(s) become forgotten.
(NOTE~ The alter-egos must do whatever the normal characters do. They're split souls, so in a sense where one part of the soul goes, so must the other.)
SETTING~
August Hill~ A castle with salmon-coloured bricks that sits atop a lush green hill. Most races come here to pay their respects to their “leaders”— the ones who fought to let others of their kind live on. It was named so because August Hill has the weather all year around that the month of August would have. Slightly humid, but always a nice breeze blowing through.
Urchin Academy~ Where most commoner students go to learn. The number are sadly dwindling because students are heading off to seek safety in smaller cities. Urchin Academy earned its name because of the purebreds. It looks like an old victorian home, with vines crawling up the sides of the dark walls. The flower beds had rotted away and wilted, and the oak tree in the front looks bare without its leaves. There is a small swing on the tree.
The Plagued Coast~ Name, again, by the purebreds. Though the beach is filled with rocks and shells of plentiful colours, the sun always sets with a gorgeous pink and purple reflection across the silver water, and the sand is soft, the purebreds hate that the commoners can have a place of their own.
This is just a small description to help you get started and get “in the mood” for writing.
RULES~
Just like every other storybook RPG:
~ No God modding.
~ Keep it PG thirteen. Refrain from using swares, and no sexual content.
~ A maximum of two characters per person.
~ No “God-like” characters
~ If inactive for one week, and you have no PMed me to tell me that you’re away, you will die
~ If you want to have Daemon in your post, you must ask me first, and I may help you with him
~ No immense special abilities or crazy alter-egos
~ No ability is “unstoppable.” Everyone and everything has a weakness

Personality~ Exact opposite to Alarinna: outspoken, loud, enjoys a good fight and picks one with almost everyone. She has a short temper.
