Thief of Hearts

Story is by Vanity&Ecstasy with help from FredKrug. Setting: Present Day, Alternate Time Line. In the year 2011 the Earth has reached a point of temporary peace and stability. Several third world countries have begun to make large steps in joining the modern world of technology. With the peace came stabilization of all economies over the world and reforged relations between countries whose ties were long since severed. Yes, the world in this time line could be considered a utopia of sorts. However, even in peace true evil never rests. In truth terrible crimes still occur and the world turns a blind eye to it all despite the consequences they might face in the future. In the Earth that we know there is only a single plane of existence. There is no Heaven, Hell, Limbo, or otherwise, none of them exists. In the alternate Earth though there is a second plane of existence. While there is no real name for for this second plane of existence the residents within it have given it the name, Home. Home is a strange place, while being a place much like Earth the residents mostly gather in small numbers and place themselves far away from each other. Only the capitals of the eight Sectors are filled with many people. The civilization level could be likened to that of the 1800s of Earth. The residents of Home are known as the Homebound; they are almost carbon copies of Earthlings with one major difference. The Homebound are husks possessing no actual souls, they move about as if they are programmed robots. Homebound are actually containers for special souls that pass on from Earth, once a Homebound has been fused with a soul they become known as Unbound and receive a great power. This power is known as Binding and ranges from simple things like Telekinesis and Mending to Physical Enhancement and Elemental Control. Few are able to master the art of Binding though and can only access a small fraction of the power within them. These Unbound simply become citizens of Home and live out their lives under the rule of their Section Leader. In the beginning the Unbound that had mastered their power simply had nothing to do with it. It wasn't until one man had stepped forward that the system that is in place now was created. The first Unbound were people that couldn't understand their powers, leaving them to only live out their lives as nothing more than citizens with strange powers. However, after some time, the soul of a man so pure was fused to a Homebound. This man was able to access his powers from an extremely early point in his second life and eventually was able to warp reality into whatever he wished. Seeing the complete mess that was the civilization of Home, the man created a system to organize and rule over the Unbound that lived in Home. Home was divided into eight sectors and a single Leader was chosen to rule over their respective sectors. The Leader of the sector was an Unbound that had access to a majority of their powers and was able bodied and intelligent enough to lead their subjects in a way that would not threaten Home or it's residents. For the Leaders that meant no invading other sectors and no experiments that would lead to Home becoming nonexistent. As a show of good faith, Unbound that have access to the majority of their powers may challenge their Sector Leader for the position. Sector Leaders that are defeated must magically bind the new Leader into secrecy and end their lives. A secret exists in Home though that the Supreme Leader had discovered on his travels through the world. In Home exist nine points of great magic that if manipulated would give the manipulator great power. While the power is great, if the points were to all be destroyed Home would disappear and all the souls within it sent back to Earth to be reborn. The souls that are reborn are reborn with their power of Binding still within them and their memories of Home intact. As a defense mechanism, the Supreme Leader appointed the Eight Sector Leaders to guard the magical points and has named them the Gatekeepers. Important Information!!! Rules Character Skeleton Crudely Paint Drawn Map Edit1: Added Back Story and Setting. Edit2: Added Important Information, Rules, and Character Skeleton. Edit3: Corrected Combat Twist of Important Information Section. Edit4: Added a Weapon Category onto the Character Sheet. Edit5: Screw it No Combat Twist, I trust you guys to be fair.

Username: Juicesir Name: Yukiko Yamaguchi Age: 25 Race: Japanese Appearance: Appearance Personality: To say Yuki is standoffish is to be highly understating of her character. She trusts few, is quick to be aggressive, and keeps little company. She has an strong and unbreakable sense justice and especially retribution and harbors no mercy or empathy for people who so much as even make an infraction upon her perceived view of right and wrong. Determined is a word people use to describe someone who is dedicated and unyielding, but it's not enough to describe what Yuki is. She's unstoppable. History: She was a girl trying to make it in America. She'd come to study physics at a university in New York. One weekend when she was 21, she decided to go out to the big city with her friends. They went barhopping, and she ended up meeting a guy whom her friends seemed convinced would give her a good time but of who she was not so sure of. Her friends, in an effort to force her to have a good time, decided in their drunken state to ditch her with the guy, who promptly took her away and raped her. She tried to fight back over and over again, but when his friends were called to help, there was no use to her struggle. In attempt to knock her out she was hit in the head, where she began to bleed profusely. The men ditched the body, and she bled out in a back alley, leaving her friends and family with no idea still as to her whereabouts. Upon arriving in Home in the Arcturus sector, she made it her mission to seek out any people who did wrong in the new land. The cold climate and harsh environment suited her perfectly, and she enjoyed being able to make use of her power so handily. For 4 years she's been honing her abilities, and while she's not yet a master, she does have a fairly strong grasp. Binding Power: Water Manipulation. Weapon: Semi-automatic pistol. Other information: Her gun is most treasured possession, and the only one of any permanence. She uses a special hollow-points filled with a bit of water in order to provide a boost for her manipulation, though she can manipulate the water in people fine enough without the added water. She has taken to carving some sort of meaningful design into it each time she's had to kill with it. She's a minimalist in all regards and can survive on very little due to her powers and her general lack of care for her body. She enjoys the snow or any environment where she can gather moisture.

I'll eventually find something to use as a map for Home. But just if you're curious Home is about the size of the United States or Canada(I like their shapes and distance since travel in Home isn't exactly futuristic. There are Unbound that run magic carriage services but they're rare.) The Eight Sectors: Antares Arcturus Cygnus Mira Sirius Isis Skye Aster Yes, most of those names are star related. The Sectors are named after their respective leaders. The Supreme Leader has no Sector of his own since he rules over all of Home as a shadow ruler. At the moment though no one knows where he has gone. There's that in case you wanted your character to come from a specific region. Though I'd need to make a map to give you a good idea of how the different sectors are laid out and what the region is like. |

Arcturus meaning Bears Guard(apparently) is a frigid area where temperatures range from -30F to 50F in the 'Summer.' Arcturus is a low Unbound population area because of the cold climates but many people still find a life in the mountainous capital. Close to 3/4 of the year Arcturus is covered from snow that falls from the many mountains that block the northern border into the Unknown and dot the land. Arcturus = Cold Mountain area. >.> Edited by Vanity&Ecstasy, May 14, 2011, 3:19 am.

Because of the way I am about roleplays there will be absolutely no reservations. You either make a character and post it or you don't. If you want to make a map you can EN but you don't really have to. Oh and since I got a PM from Juice, Race is the nationality of your character before coming to Home. Dream, I like your power but I don't know how effective it will be. Minor enemies can easily be defeated with a weapon but having a power for the stronger enemies would be helpful. Oh and I'll probably get rid of the roll system for the characters, you guys can just attack like normal. 'Blank sends a fireball at Target.' I'll be using the roll system for damage and stuff though. Edited by Vanity&Ecstasy, May 11, 2011, 5:33 pm.

Username: Vanity&Ecstasy Name: Zaine Blair Age: 23 Race: North American, White Appearance Personality: Zaine is a very small person, not in the since that he's short or scrawny, he doesn't speak very loud when around other and can have trouble expressing his ideas. When in groups of people Zaine tends to be the protected rather than the protector, despite his actual combat abilities. To describe the normal Zaine would be to call him fearful, whether that fear be from having to relive his death over and over in his mind or something else is anyone's guess. While wanting to return to Earth, Zaine also has a strong will to stay in Home where it's safe and away from the scary place that is Earth. When Zaine becomes afraid or anxious over something he'll generally move his body; his mentality is that if he just gets stronger then he won't have to fear anything. At certain points in time though Zaine's fear becomes something entirely different and it overtakes him causing his inner demons to come forth. History: To say Zaine's time on Earth was short wouldn't be an understatement. Zaine was born to a middle class family in a nondescript town in the United States. His father was away on business a lot and his mother was a stay at home wife. The family had some deep running problems though, the father was a dirty businessman dipping his hands into profits and siphoning company money any chance he got. His mother no longer able to stand her husband's constant working went out and found a secret lover. This is when all the problems began, it was found out that his mother had gotten pregnant but whose child it was was completely up in the air. It wasn't until Zaine had turned two that they had realized he wasn't the businessman's son and was actually the bastard of his mother's lover. His mother and 'father' fought constantly after that point. Physical abuse ran rampant after that and his mother's mind began to deteriorate. The only thought on her mind was somehow getting the abuse to stop; what she came up with would save her from her husband but would end the former family's life. It was a day like any other, Zaine and his mom were sitting at home waiting for the man to come home. Around the expected time of arrival Zaine's mother leads Zaine to in front of the door that led outside. Going back into the kitchen she grabbed a large steak knife and walked back behind Zaine. When the door opened Zaine's mother slashed Zaine's throat right in front of her husband before cutting his throat and stabbing him in the heart. When Zaine awoke in home the memory of his death was frightening, his neck ached every time he thought of it and began to cry. His fortune was good though when he arrived in Home as he had awoken in an Unbound settlement. After three years Zaine had learned of his Binding Powers and began training to master them. Every time he would use his powers an image of his mother would appear in his mind and the scar on his neck would burn fiercely. At the age of fifteen Zaine began his journey through Home in an attempt to find a way to escape. In his heart Zaine was afraid of returning to Earth but knew he would have to eventually if he were going to have his revenge against his mother. Zaine had encountered many things on his journey, things he could not undo, un-see, or prevent. If he were going to have his revenge many things would have to change, including his fear of what kind of terrible place Earth was. Now eight years later Zaine has finished his initial journey around Home and is ready to return to Earth despite how terrible it is. The knowledge he possesses now will be a great asset on his journey. Binding Power: Physical Enhancement. Zaine is able to control his body's functions and may either Speed Up, Strengthen, or Reinforce his body. Zaine may only have one power active at a time though otherwise he risks tearing apart his new body. Weapon: Spiked Knuckles and Retractable Shoe Blades. Other information: Despite his personality Zaine has another side that only reveals itself in specific situations. Stay back if that situation ever arises. I may make a few minor changes or so to this but this is Zaine. |

Seems fine now, just know that if you're altering peoples dreams they might not like it and you may get hurt ![]() Just as a notice, I won't be accepting profiles until we get a couple more just so there's a sense of fair chance. Just like in the business world first come first served doesn't guarantee you'll be getting what you want. |

Oh and just so I can have an idea of when these people died, how old were your characters when they died? Dream yours sounds like they may have died somewhere between 15 - 16. Juice sounds like they may have died around 21. I just want to clarify that if you die at 17 and have only been on Home for a month your powers aren't going to be super powerful or stable. Sorry if this is a lot of new information, it's just stuff I forgot and need to add. Example: When you die on Earth say at 14 you restart your life on Home at the age of 14 and live out the rest of a natural life. So if you're wanting your character to be 16 and they have the ability to cause tsunamis they best have died before they were even conceived. |
