I'm so pumped for this! I'll get my character and my first post up sometime over this weekend. I'm going to aim for Saturday, but I have the sneaking suspicion that it'll happen on Sunday.

(I might do it sooner if I have the time before then!)

This looks like such an interesting storybook! :0 Depending on if school doesn't eat me alive this week, I'll consider joining but I'll let you know sometime soon, hopefully.

WEEK ONE OF PREP:

Code: Select all

[djm]Host Name:[/djm]

What are you thinking towards the humans we possess?

My demon will be possessing a young Marine named Finn. So let's fill in that registration form.

Host Name: Finn Lancaster
Host Age: 33
Host Sex & Gender: Male, identifies as Male

And that's my homework for the week taken care of!

Yaaay, homework! It's quantifiably great.

Assignment completed!

Host Name: Arthur Croft
Host Age: 16
Host Sex & Gender: Male/Male

I finished my homework!

Week two's homework is here, but it would be unfair for me not to lead it off with both my example, as well as information on mythos and the languishing lore you'll be helping create!

Go here; in the search bar, type in one of your strongest personality traits. Explore for a small while and apply some you feel hit the nail on the head. A good place to start? The Five Man Band.

Type of Demon
While on Midgar you will, unfortunately, need to remain in your host body for the majority of your stay (and perhaps live some of their life) you are a demon! There are no regulations on what sort of demon or mythic hellbound being you may be, as long as you had a reason for being in hell. Well, let's not have angels. That's a bit on the nose.

Weapons or Skills
Alphonse Magnus was the first, in scientific desperation, to bind spirit to material. His research and acclaim was befouled as heresy and crimes against The Heavenly Beings; though long after his death, private militant corporations began producing new millennial forms of his products. Soul Caliber is the leading production company in Midgar, and their products range from handguns to electric swords. Fear of the conspirator is that this technology is in the hands of post-nuclear countries. By now, though, Soul Weapons are common in the hands of the people. What is not known widely to the demonic world is whether or not their souls may be conduits...

Pre-Asskicking One-Liner

Potentially more in-story.

Host Age: 24
Host Sex & Gender: Female, identifies as Male

Trope Breakdown
Loners Are Freaks
Properly Paranoid
Dying Race

Type of Demon
Aye-Aye

Weapons or Skills
Deathlock Finger – if the freakishly long middle finger is successfully pointed at something, that something is Marked, and any of the Aye-Aye’s projectiles will become head-hunting ones, looking to damage or pierce the victim’s heart, specifically. Demonic Skill.

Marksmanship – using the human host as a vessel, the Aye-Aye can instantly redirect the bullets of any gun to a Marked target’s heart. Human vessel skill. Preference with mid/long range hunting rifles or crossbows.

Echolocation – the Aye-Aye can use his Deathlock Finger to rapidly tap on any solid surface and locate anything in the perimeter of its hearing field. Natural skill.



Aaaand caught up with homework!

I feel that Finn should have a wife--perhaps a host, perhaps not. What do you all think?

Type of Demon
Djinni, specifically a Qarīn. His counterpart is his host, and the fact that he resides in her was very much intended.

Weapons or Skills
When not in a host, he is capable of shapeshifting into a cat. However, in his host's body, his only skill is with his gun. The gun is an automatic pistol capable of changing through advanced mechanics into a sniper rifle, and an assault rifle. The gun is connected to his sleeve by a thin chain, so in the event that he drops it or it's knocked away, he can get it back.

Done!

Trope Breakdown
Tranquil Fury
Nature Lover
His Own Worst Enemy

Type of Demon
The same as Stolas, one of the demons in the Ars Goetia, who is depicted sometimes like this:



In what reality is this not adorable? It's a frigging owl with long legs and a crown!

Weapons or Skills

Stolas's major role in Christian demonology is to act as a teacher of astronomy, nature, and precious stones. As Stolas is typically depicted as an owl, I presume that this demon can fly. The demon could also rapidly (instantly seems overpowered, to be honest) teach someone about any piece of information that relates to his knowledge base. This is done by means of his crown, which may have a commanding/manipulating effect, though only when he is teaching. The manipulation is also conscious, and, though his crown cannot be removed, the connection is not too hard to break.

As for weapons, he could be connected to the Saiga-12, which is the 12-gauge shotgun version of the AK line of weapons. Because it’s cool.

Host Name: Yolandi Montfaucon
Host Age: very, extremely old. looks around 20.
Host Sex & Gender: female

Trope Breakdown
Straw Nihilst
The Hedonist
Above Good and Evil

Type of Demon
Belphegor, Demon Prince of Sloth.

Weapons or Skills
Belphegor uses its power to heighten Yolandi's natural charisma. It has granted her a subtle, pervasive aura which takes those unprepared completely aback.

Trope Breakdown
Collector of the Strange
Failure Knight
Sad Clown

Type of Demon
Demon Goat Prince

(Horns, tail, fangs and all that classic demon jazz.)

Weapons or Skills

He's got some good old demonic flames at his disposal, but he also is pretty handy with a Soul Caliber sword. The sword's nothing fancy - it's hilt is unadorned and its blade looks completely normal.
