The Earth is at peace. There are no wars. There is no hunger. Honesty, courtesy, and kindness are practiced by all. The world has never been more perfect. It is no longer your world...
The battle for your world has ended. The battle for your future has begun. You will be one of us...

The Soul
Spoiler
An alien raced, called Souls, has taken over Earth. They bring peace with them wherever they go. The Soul is a tiny silver body with over a thousand hairlike tentacles. When being implanted into a human, a Healer will make a three inch incision on the back of the human's neck and slide the body inside. Once inside of the human--now known as a host--the Soul will wrap its tentacles around the brain and parts of the spinal chord, thus meaning the Soul has complete control of the body and brain. The only difference between a Host and a human is this: the eyes. When a light it shone into the eyes, it reflects off of the Soul's silver body, leaving the pupils silver rather than black.

Souls travel through space, from planet to planet, living a life term in each host it chooses. When traveling through space, the Soul is placed in a hibernation tank--it takes hundreds of years to travel from one planet to another depending on how far apart they are. Many Souls choose to live more than one lifetime on a certain planet and may settle down to live several life terms in one place. Other Souls can't settle down the way most can and have been to most of the planets they have discovered.

It is rare to have a Soul from the Origin--the planet from which all Souls originate. Many of them choose to give themselves up to be mothers or are--rarely--killed off by a certain race, such as the humans.


The Job
Spoiler
Souls each have a job, whether it's healing those who have been injured, implanting new Souls into their Hosts, or seeking out the occasional threat.

Healers- A healer is like a doctor. They're job differs from insertions to healing new Hosts to healing cuts and such. Every Healer has a set of medicines that are harmless and simple: Fever--terminates fevers--Awake--when inhaled, it keeps you from feeling tired--Smooth--terminates scars--Heal--heals the deepest of cuts--Clean--cleans a cut or infected wound.
Comforters- A Comforter is like a therapist to the Souls. A Soul that has been recently placed inside an older Host will often seek a Comforter for suggestions on how to adjust to the new emotions and sensory overload.
Storytellers- These are what they seem to be. They've often visited several planets and have several good stories to share. Souls will gather around a Storyteller to hear what they have to say, whether they've experienced the same thing or not.
Seekers- A Seeker is basically a peacekeeper or a police. These are the only Souls who carry weapons such as guns and knives. They don't hurt others intentionally. Seekers find humans and bring them back to Healers for insertion. They'll go through anything to track down the humans and bring them back.


Human Life
Spoiler
The Caves:
There are very few humans remaining on Earth and the ones who are alive are hidden in caves in the desert. To everyone's surprise, the caves are actually a very livable place. An old human man named Jeb discovered them and has dug out a few holes for additional space. He claims them as his caves. They can be found in the Arizona Desert and were once a massive lava bed. The caves have dark, purpley brown walls and ceilings and after staying there for a while, you'll find your clothes are covered with the purple dust.
Accommodations:
Since the caves are riddled with hundreds of tunnels and holes, there are different sections of the caves. The north tunnels are the hospital wing, the east tunnels are the storage tunnels--also located near the entrance--the west tunnels are sleeping quarters, and the south tunnels house the "bathroom" and "game room". The bathroom consists of two rivers: a small, cool one and a larger, hotter one. The steam off of the hot river allows for privacy. There is a smaller cave just inside the "bathroom" where the smaller river flows--this is the bathing area. Just beyond that is rise in the floor and then a drop off where the hot river flows deeper underground--this is known at "the toilet".
If you want to take a bath, you better get used to making cactus soap. Many complain about the sting, but after a while you get used to it. You can wash your clothes with it as well as your hair.
Clothes are either second hand from either growing out of them or from someone dying. If someone is to be burred or if anything is to be cooked in the oven, it's to be done at night.
Chores:
To be able to live under Jeb's roof, you must help keep the place running. That means plowing the fields, washing the dishes, baking bread, putting together raids, washing clothes, etc. Get used to doing work because it's how you'll be able to survive.


Survive:
Spoiler
Humans-to survive you must stay away from the Seekers. This means blending in and not getting caught. If you think you're going to get caught, kill yourself. Some of you won't make it, some of you will die. Will you choose your fate or will you give yourself up to the Souls?
Souls-to survive, you cower away from the humans or contact authorities. Seekers will take down a human, but won't hurt them too bad. Souls have lost too many Hosts due to suicides.


The Girl:
Spoiler
My name is Skyler and I'm a Host. I've been taken by the Souls and have been given a new life--but not one that I chose. They expected me to fade away, they expected me to just disappear just like all of the others. But I'm stronger than that and I'm not going anywhere. My Soul, who I’ve cleverly nicknames Casper, came from the Origin and has yet to settle down, has yet to fall in love. Not me, though. I had someone, I had fallen in love and I had a younger brother. And if I have anything to do with it, I'll be back to them soon enough. Whether she likes it or not, I‘m going to lead her to the last of the human race. I just hope I‘ll have enough control over her that I‘ll be able to keep her from turning them in. Wish me luck.


Characters:
I'll add more spaces if we need to, but I won't accept more than 7 females unless you have a really good profile or you already have a male character. I want to keep it mostly even.

Male please:)

Name: Klaus Douglas William

Age:15

Type: (Soul/human)Human

Appearance:Image

Personality: Klaus is timid, especially since he's mentally challenged and afraid of doing something wrong. He's skiddish, but if he trusts you he'll be loyal to you for life. Sometimes he'll be cold and emotionless, and sometimes he'll be crying his eyes out. He's very fickle and emotional.

History: When he was little, he was the production of an inappropriate student/teacher relationship. His mother left him with his abusive father at the age of six, and Klaus has been living with his dad ever since. They've managed to make due in an abandoned apartment building, and so they live together but every now and then his dad made him go out in the open just to get rid of him for a few hours. And whenever he returned, his dad would be drunk and give him a pretty severe beating, and leave him quivering on his bad until the next morning. Once, Klaus ran into traffic, and the impact of the accident that followed gave him a metal foot and an artificial heart, which has to be charged every week or so.

Other: He loves fire- in other words, he's a pyromaniac. Definitely not someone you want running around with a lighter. Also, he's gay, just by the way.

Name: Skyler Soul: Cassie *Casper*

Age: 19

Type: Soul

Appearance:
Spoiler
Image


Personality: Casper is a shy Soul. She’s pretty harmless and has no clue how to use a weapon if you showed her how. She’s sweet and couldn’t hurt a fly. If it were up to her, she’d give Skyler back her body, but she can’t and she knows that. Casper doesn’t really hang around other Souls and she‘s rarely seen or heard(a reason Skyler nicknamed her Casper.)
Skyler is the opposite of Casper. She’s loud and free and isn’t afraid to speak her mind. She often finds herself telling Casper what to do when she’s lost. Skyler is strong and independent and knows how to use anything as a weapon. It sometimes aggravates her that Casper is so shy and quiet.

History: Skyler lived with her parents and younger brother before everything started changing. Her uncle Jeb (yes, Jeb’s her uncle) was paranoid about the Souls and when he found the caves, he gave Skyler secret directions to them. One day her parents left and when they came back, they were Hosts and had an army of Seekers with them. They got out in time, but she’s been paranoid about trusting people ever since.
When Skyler almost got caught by Seekers a couple of years later, she threw herself down an elevator shaft to keep herself from becoming a Host. The Healers saved her though and put Casper inside of her.

Other: Skyler can put walls up in her head to keep Casper out, though Casper doesn’t really try to look inside her head unless she has to and it’s important.

Name: Aura

Age: 6

Type: (Soul/human) Human

Appearance: Aura has curly caramel-colored hair, green eyes, and freckles. She's usually seen smiling, if only to show off her missing teeth.

Personality: Aura is a normal six-year-old girl; temper tantrums and all. She likes things being fair, and unfortunately, they rarely are. She says what's on her mind with the blunt innocence of a child.

History: Aura lived a carefree life with her older sister and parents. When it came time to flee the souls, only her sister and her escaped. Unfortunately, later on, her sister was captured. Jeb found Aura alone and helpless.

Name: Brigid
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Type: Human
Appearance: Brigid is tall, about five feet ten inches, with an athletic build and toned muscles. She has tan skin, and glossy black hair, which she ties back in a ponytail. Her eyes are cinnamon brown, and she typically wears cargo shorts, tank tops, and hiking boots or tennis shoes.
Personality: Brigid is a take-charge, no-nonsense type. She's a natural leader, and she isn't afraid to step on people's toes if she's in charge. She's outgoing and social, but she can be rather blunt, and is sometimes very sarcastic. She's smart, and very creative when it comes to problem-solving. She's nice to everyone she likes, but she has very few close friends. She has a temper, and can be completely ruthless with souls.
History: Brigid lived in Tucson with her parents and two sisters before the invasion. She was away at a summer camp when the first souls came, and when she returned, her parents and sisters were hosts. Her sisters, Iris and Twyla, were Seekers, and they tried to attack Brigid. Brigid grabbed a kitchen knife and killed Twyla and her parents in her escape. She took the family car and drove out into the desert, where she found the caves. Although she misses her family, she doesn't regret killing them. She still considers Iris a threat.
Other: Up for love, straight.

Profiles look good!
This is Jeb.

Name: Jebediah *Jeb*

Age: 64

Type: Human

Appearance:
Spoiler
Image


Personality: Jeb is an eccentric old man who also happens to be Skyler's uncle. He found the caves and he claims the caves. If you see him, he's usually carrying a shotgun and trying to keep the peace. Jeb makes the rules and everyone obeys. He tries to keep things happy and peaceful, but occasionally things get out of hand and he has to use his gun to calm everyone down. Jeb's a tad bit crazy and he finds the littlest things funny, but as he always says, "In a world where you don't know which day might be your last, you have to live like there's no tomorrow and nothing funnier than the color of someone's eyes." (He's weird. Plain and simple.) Most people like him and the ones who don't can get out of his caves.

History: Jeb was living a normal life with his family before everything turned upside down. He was the first to suspect that anything was happening and began looking for a place to hide before anyone knew anything was wrong. His whole family thought he was crazy and paranoid, but when things took a turn for the worst, he was the one who was prepared. He would occasionally go out after the attack and look for other humans to bring back to his caves. After months of gathering, he's gathered almost 30 humans.

Other: Like I've said before, if things get out of hand, you can guarantee that Jeb will be there with his gun. Also, everything goes through him first--raid plans, rooming plans (aka who rooms with who), prisoner plans (where the prisoner is kept and if they should be allowed to live or not. You get to be a prisoner if you're a soul or if you get on Jeb's bad side.)

We need at least 2 Seekers--one male, one female--one other male human, and Skyler's brother before we start. Profiles must be posted by the 28th. The official starting date of this is the 31st, but if we don't have enough characters, then we'll postpone.

Personality: Ever since Ocean was separated from his sister, he fell into a depression. He's willing to do what he can to help his uncle Jeb and is very loyal and obedient. He doesn't talk much and constantly worries that he's lost his sister forever to a stupid soul.

History: Before everything, he lived with his older sister Skyler. His parents disappeared one day only to return Hosts with a crowd of Seekers. Skyler got him out in time, though a few years later she disappeared. He's been with Jeb in the caves ever since, hoping that Skyler's return won't be a repeat of his parents'.

Other: Up for love, has no specific orientation.
