~The Everyday Survivors~ (Started but still accepting)

Dreamwalker · 2011-02-28T22:36:22Z

The Everyday Survivors The idea of Death is something that strikes fear into any and every mortal heart. To die is to give up. To give up is to leave everything. But Death is not something experienced alone. In bustling city of Manhattan, a group of humans have been born with the gift to see creatures that no one believes could exist. Creatures that, unlike any mythical beast of any fairy tale, give the appearance of being human. That being said, two other races walk amongst men on earth. The Darkling’s and the Imp’s. These two species are mortal enemies of each other. The Darkling’s are creatures created to protect human life whilst the Imp’s were created to become it, while destroying it at the same time. The Seers (the group of humans which can see the second world) know very little about both races except what they can learn from each of these beings. That being said, this group must come up with their own opinions of the other inhabitants of the world, whether that love or shun. The Darkling’s: ~ Protectors of life. Their job is to find and protect a human force. When the death of that human ultimately comes, so does the death of the Darkling. One is attached so intimately in that manner. Humans: ~ Seers. The humans in this storybook shall be able to see the Darkling’s and the Imp’s for what they are. That being said, they shall also be able to see the second-world. The Imps: ~ Destroyers of human life. These Creatures want to be human more than anything else. Unfortunately, the only way to become human would be to take the life of a human by having them utter their name. This human must also be a seer and able to see the second-world. Object of the Storybook: To show the struggles between the three groups as the Darkling’s and the Imp’s hate each other. The Imp’s, as second-world creatures, are not unfeeling. Some may be but that is up to you whether or not you feel that your Imp should have enough spite for the human race to not care whether or not one should have to die. If you so choose the Darkling, or the protectors of death, you shall be given the right to find and protect a human. That being said, the Darkling’s and the Imp’s cannot be seen. (This is subject to change :D) If you choose the human, you shall be given the freedom of choice to love that of the Darkling’s or the Imp’s. Your hatred could be spurned by either or. If you feel pity for the Imp’s and hate the Darkling’s for wanting the end of them, you have that choice. If you should love the Darkling’s and fear the Imp’s for their want of human life, that is also of your own doing. Profiles: Name: (if your choose an Imp, you must also have a second name) Race: Gender: Age: Appearance: (All three species look like humans) Brief personality description: History: Other: Rules: ~ No God-modding. Everyone is equal. ~ No killing someone else’s character ~ If one should leave the storybook, their character shall be killed off ~ If one does not update in at least a week, their character will be killed of ~ Keep the cussing to a minimum. ~ Violence should not be too graphic. Humans: (2 spots left!) ~Puzzler ~The.Dreamwalker ~Ladyofthedeathroses ~ Darklings: (2 spots left!) ~Kamas ~Camulaeus ~MilkNCookies ~ Imps: (2 spots left!) ~Incognito ~jasminebells ~LittlePetRock ~ I'm looking for about 15 people for this storybook though I'm willing to go above or below that said amount within reason. I will take spot claiming but only if you make your profile within the days of claiming that spot. I would also like the amount of humans to be equal with the amount of Darkling's. The Imp's should have the least amount of members. Other than that, lets have some fun! Heres the DT link! http://www.youngwriterssociety.com/topic77173.html

Don't worry, Jas xD. I always make the same mistakes cause when I see so much information, my brain said 'skim...' I can't remember the last time I read every detail for the entrance of a storybook!

And awesome! This is actually picking up

True dat.

Btw, questions.

1. How do these people know each other?

2. Are we going to have a discussion thread for this?

3. Is the age difference such a big deal?

4. Is my Imp's history okay? I changed it. Again.

5. Can Imps and Darklings be seen yet?

6. Can we start now?

7. What happens if a Darkling kills an Imp?

8. Can Darklings even kill Imps?

9. Can we start now?

!0. I really want to start...

I am nothing
but a mouthful of 'sorry's, half-hearted
apologies that roll of my tongue, smoothquick, like 'r's
or maybe like pocket candy
that's just a bit too sweet.

Questions answered ;D

1. How do these people know each other?

I was thinking we could meet all spontaneously

If you would like, I could help you get into the plotline right away ;D

2. Are we going to have a discussion thread for this?

I think that would be a good idea! I should probably make one of those in the dicussion thread.

3. Is the age difference such a big deal?

No, not at all

. Be whatever age you want!

4. Is my Imp's history okay? I changed it. Again.

Any history you feel would be good is absolutely perfect ;D

5. Can Imps and Darklings be seen yet?

Yep. I believe that will be how things go

6. Can we start now?

Very very soon!

7. What happens if a Darkling kills an Imp?

Well, if its a random imp that isn't in the story, then go for it ;D You could make evil ones. Nothing really happens other than death.

8. Can Darklings even kill Imps?

Yep

. Everyone is mortal.

9. Can we start now?

xD I really want to!

!0. I really want to start...

Same! D: I'm wayyy to excited.

Considering we only have like 5 characters, I think that as much as we all want to start, we should wait a bit.

I agree, jas

. We have seven characters.

Incog and I both agreed that we would make another character and keep up with them if everyones alright with that.

That and if you should all like to make another, you can too

(Will finish)

Name: Leah Maxum

Race: Darking.

Gender: Female.

Age: 20

Appearance:

Spoiler

Brief personality description: She's quite wild. She can never sit still. Unless there is an Imp in thew room... than you'll never notice her. She never likes to rest and is quite intrigued. The only time you'll see her peaceful is a night/with imps, when she barely moves unless forced. She likes to sit high up in trees and stare. She doesn't understand why humans can't see her, and loves the Seers. She's a curious creature and prefers hands-on learning to anything else. She's also quite bold and isn't afraid to voice her opinion. She doesn't really mind crushing someone if she really wants to get something, and the person is in the way. She's loyal, too. She's quite like a doberman pincher dog- protective and ruthless, but kind at the same time. All in all, she can be quite mean, but is also a good friend.

History: Her mom was killed right in front of her eyes when she was five. Leah didn't understand why her mom wouldn't wake up. When her dad came home, he called police. She has always hated Imps. Her father tipped of the dark side and began to smoke and commit crimes. She was almost killed by one of his friends. Since that, she's learned to stop her tears from flowing- but not her anger. That's what her body resorted to. Leah had a dream where she saw her father killing her mother, and got up in the middle of the night to kill him. She lives in her own apartment with her parent's money. She' been given all the reasons to despise life, and still somehow keeps a positive outlook.

Other: Yea, she's obsessed with Dinosaurs. What of it?

Welcome to the storybook!

By the way, you have just filled the last position for us to actually start so you are officially my favourite person ;D. I'll send a message out to everyone saying that it shall start tonight. Sound good? Of course, by tonight, I mean Canadian *Ontario* tonight, so if you're in Ireland, I believe that would be your good morning somewhat?

Oh well. I'm excited!

Mkay, Ladyofhtedeathroses. If you'd like, I could try and bring your character in

. I don't have a set plotline so it may be hard to find a way to get all the characters to mesh well right off the bat.

OOH OOH OOH! I have an idea!!e

Maybe the humans can all go to the same school, and the Darklings and Imps are able to recgonize the species of one another on site. That way all the characters can all meet at one point and we can identify the conflicts right away!

With friends and courage one can stand against all foes, for neither man nor God can conquer those who are not alone
