Rated R for Language, Violence and Mild Sexual Content. Brought to you by FredKrug and Requiem. --- Millennia ago, this world was ruled by gods. Wars were fought over petty squabbles of these divine beings, sometimes just in an effort to please these entities of power. However, as their influence faded into obscurity into myth, these gods fell into idleness, watching the world as it passed beneath their feet. No longer were great battles fought in their name or for their amusement. No longer did heroes set out to slay mighty beasts. No, the world grew, and as it did so, the gods lost everything. Though none were exactly fond of the occurring changes, of humanity's beliefs tarnishing, they refused to step in and take the reigns back. However, one god in particular was known to not accept such folly and chose to take action. He decided to bend the rules, to revel in societies downgrade, as he watched them helplessly lose faith. This god, lovingly known as Hades around the globe, had become tired with mankind's obsession with science and progress. The people of the globe had begun their decent into sloth and complacency. They lived decades beyond their former expectancy, and did nothing noteworthy during their ever-increasing lifespan. Worse still, these beings turned away from the divine and the miraculous to their machines. Their fascination with things beyond them faded, and with that, their interest. In the eyes of Hades, mankind had become nothing but boring pigs waiting for their age to overtake them. So with nothing better to do and no reason to resist, Hades declared a war upon earth. With the creation of Hellions, he devised a plan to collect the souls of the damned. With every passing minute, hundreds are turning into these hellish minions, losing their souls, along with their ability to control themselves. Forcing each to fight amongst themselves and failure to do so, caused them their untimely demise. With Hades slowly beginning to accumulate an array of adversaries to do his bidding, he knew that to receive the ultimate pleasure, he needed a reason to give those who chose to fight for their lives, reasons to do so. Hades, being the fan of "a sporting chance", branded numerous humans. These humans were gifted with magic and power to defend themselves and others, if they desired. However, with this power came a cost. For every battle they failed, a piece of their soul would be taken and their brand expanded. When the brand is complete, their soul belongs to Hades, and their body is sent into the fray against the remains of the populace, another thrill to his bidding. Alongside the power he bestowed upon them, he granted them a fighting chance to win the parts of their souls that they had lost. With every three consecutive battles won, the previous piece will be granted back, the brand however, continues to remain. Their Victories can set them free from this curse and end this war. At the bitter end what is the final price you're willing to pay for your soul? --- Soul System Abilities Character Sheet Characters Rules

Username: Juicesir Name: Merrick Dross Age: 28 Soul Pieces: Reason, Dreams/Desire, Memories, Freewill, and Individuality Appearance: Time to Play Marks: Merrick has lost 2 battles, and thus has two marks. ~First Mark: Gained when he lost his emotions, this mark curves around his entire left arm from the wrist to the shoulder. ~Second Mark: Merrick's second mark is on the back right side of his neck, occupying the space just below his ear. Personality: Lacking emotion and morality, Merrick is not an empathetic person. Once an exuberant man, he has now alienated almost all human contact. He views people as chess pieces, pawns to be used, but not in any cruel way. Cruelty implies emotion, and with Merrick there is none. There is no lust, no joy in his work. He simply does, and he clings onto his memories with a fierce vigor. His pride and joy, he cherishes them and carries pictures related to his past and events he has gone through in a pocket in his jacket. Over all else, Merrick cherishes that which he has lost, and it drives him to gain it all back again. Powers/Abilities: Merrick's powers allow him to essentially be his own best weapon. Having an extraordinary rate of healing as well as being able to help and heal others, he is terrible difficult to take down and shows no sign of pain. ~Power Augmentation ~Healing |

Alright. ;3. I've talked to Juicesir some about the soul system. I'mma post an example of a character for those who may not understand it that well. This character was done by Wicked, who might I add, did an absolutely fantastic job on it. |

I plan on having the list of abilities up by tomorrow at the latest, hopefully. I'd do it today, but I've got a lot on my schedule. Earliest of it being up is sometime tonight. ;3 |

Not at all, both sets will be reserved for the two of you. ;D. Again, if there are any questions or anyone needs any help, just send me a PM. I'll be more than willing to aid in any way I can. |

This might take me a bit. =/ Yesterday a couple of my friends and I were in a wreck. I'm still trying to calm myself down. I'll make my character when I can, and thank you for the reservation. |

Thanks. I should be able to get it up some time tomorrow or the next day. If not, then I will have it up some time this weekend. As for being alright, we just got a little beat up. Sneezing, laughing, and coughing hurts like hell though. Particularly sneezing...which happens often for me. Ugh. |
