I am looking for SERIOUS, LITERATE, and MATURE players. Some EXPERIENCE is preferred but can be overlooked if the other three requirements are fulfilled. Before I get into plot here's what to expect- ANYTHING. I'm the gm here and I'm not going to be taking it easy on my players AT ALL. Expect to become EXTREMELY attached to your character. They will experience trials, tribulations. Their soul will probably be shattered, I'm not going to be nice and this adventure wont be fluffy, I am dying for a serious roleplay. I may also be playing a character but I am not sure yet. Chances are I will only be running the various npcs. I am going to hurt your characters. Bad things WILL happen to them, there is every possibility that they WILL die. If they die, then you will find out what happens when your character dies. Expect them to stay dead though. The purpose of these policies is to put together an intense and hopefully enjoyable rp experience. The thing I hope for most out of you players is ACTIVITY. You will be playing against myself and possibly your fellow players.
If you think this kind of rp is for you then read on:
Plot Synopsis
Real world, year 2012. An oblivious society, full of oblivious people. A world so wrapped up in itself so as to be completely unaware of anything else. Earth is dying, the humans are killing it. People don't remember their pasts enough to prevent terrible happenings, or they just don't care. Little political trifles are headline news as if they actually mattered. Governments deceive, people are sheep. Racism is still around but so many are being assimilated into the universal race of the masses...
But just as Earth is not the only planet, this is not the only universe. No, in fact there are two, inexorably tied. Bound together for eternity because they were once one. This second, unseen universe is in fact the reason humans have religion. It is the realm of the enlightened, beings who have unlocked their fullest potential. The two worlds were split before human could mature and become like these "Gods" as it were. Yet humans never truly forgot them, hence the rampant superstitions around the world. Sometimes the two worlds even cross slightly, ensuring that Earth's universe will never forget about it's sister.
The realm of the "Gods" however can see clearly into earth's domain. And it is a realm of near infinite power. But the beings there are dying, they are tied to their realm in a much more integral way than humans are. Their universe is also much smaller than Earth's. Unfortunately the hub of the joint between the two universes is planet Earth. As earth dies, the "Gods" universe dies. As their Universe dies, they die.
There is no alternative to the events that are about to ensue. the "Gods" have decided that they are not to be wiped from existence. In order to ensure this, they will become human. They will once again merge their two universes. But the process will not be instantaneous and not all of the gods want to become human. For in order to become human they will die in their current form and the two beings will become one, assimilated into each other- The human consciousness will be the one to survive but that does not mean that the "God's" will is to be entirely erased.
It seems that two sides will arise: One that accepts that they must become human for the better of all. And the other, who knows that earth can recover. But only if all humans are eliminated...

Very true. it just makes it difficult to portray accurately at times.
character
Player Name- Dream Character Name- Persephone “Piercey” Soul Gender- Female Age- 19 Height- 5’ Weight- 104 lbs Introvert/extrovert?- introvert Sexual Preferences?- pansexual How does your character act in romantic encounters?- Piercey is, in everything, a slightly nervous person, especially at first. How does your character deal with romantic relationships? Include how they treat lovers.- Piercey is nervous and somewhat awkward in the beginning, until she becomes overly familiar with the person. She is extremely caring, and will do whatever possible to make others happy. How does your character deal with their family?- Family? Piercey has virtually nothing to do with her family any longer. She has long since abandoned all hope of ever really having a family. How does character react with friends?- Being a generally non-social person, Piercey doesn’t really have many friends. Those friends that she does have, however, she would keep for life. Even those who no longer consider her their friend are still friends in her mind. Once she begins to care about someone, she will care about them for life. How does character react to strangers?- In one word; horribly. Piercey is simply terrified of people she doesn’t know. What does your character fear? Specify their greatest fear.- It is difficult to pick out the one thing that Piercey is afraid of above all others. She doubts, and is afraid of just about everything she knows. She is terrified of being alone, but probably the worst fear she has is abandonment. She also has an irrational fear of spiders. She is afraid of needles, as well as hospitals. She is afraid that she will never find love, yet she is also afraid of what will happen when she does find true love. What is their happiest memory?- Piercey has a decent number of happy memories, though she doesn’t often see them that way, because they are always tinted with the bad memories that followed, turning them more bittersweet than anything. The first memory that comes to mind when she thinks “happy” isn’t really a memory of hers at all. Rather it is a combination of single moments of joy that shine through the murky veil of her life. What is their worst memory?- Just as there are numerous happy moments in Piercey’s life, there are quite a few bad ones. The difference would be that, behind the wall she builds to protect herself from the world, those bad memories are much more potent. The actual “worst” memory would depend on the day, though it could very confidently be assumed that it would have to do with a past relationship. How does your character deal with stress?- Piercey actually deals with stress surprisingly well. She tends to bottle things up until one day when she gets so overworked she breaks down somewhere hidden away from the world. That rarely happens, however, so it could be assumed that she simply has learned to deal with stress in an effective manner for herself. How does your character deal with intense fear?- When confronted with an intense fear, Piercey will do one of two things. If it is an internal fear, or a fear of something that does not pose an immediate threat to her life or well-being, she will collapse to the ground and curl up in a ball. If it is something that she feels threatens her as well as scares her, she will run and hide behind who/whatever is nearby. How does your character deal with depression?- Depression? Piercey would never even admit that she is depressed, though many people would consider her to be so. Truth be told, if she was ever completely honest with her therapist (which would never happen) she would be clinically considered depressed. Hell, she would probably actually be more considered bipolar, simply because she tends to act that way. She will be horribly depressed one minute, yet smiling, laughing and having a grand time the next. Really, it’s simply due to her ability to put up a very convincing mask. What is your character's greatest weakness?- While Piercey has a lot of weaknesses, probably her greatest weakness would be the fact that she cares too much about everyone. It is fairly easy for her to start caring about someone, and once she does, she won’t stop. There are those who she would give anything for, even as far as giving her very life to them if it would make them happy. How is your character at following orders? With everything that Piercey does in an attempt to make people happy, it would be assumed that she would be quite good at following orders. The strange thing is, she isn’t. There is only one person who she will easily follow orders from, and the two of them rarely have anything to do with one another anymore. At least, sometimes. She is far too opinionated to really follow orders well. Is your character a good leader? Piercey is a good leader, if she can be persuaded to actually take charge, and if people would actually listen to her. She’s not overly forceful, and if people won’t listen, she won’t bother to try and lead them. She’s quite passive-aggressive. How would your character react if witnessing an armed robbery?- Well, that would depend. Okay, not really. If Piercey was witnessing a robbery of any sort, she would stop it. As strange and off charts it may seem considering her personality, she is really fairly decent when it comes to fighting, more specifically in the realm of martial arts. She knows how to disarm someone who is holding just about any type of weapon, and then knows how to use just about any weapon that could be thought of. How would your character deal with being mugged?- Piercey’s reaction to being mugged would basically be the opposite as if she were witnessing it happen to someone else. Simply put, she would do nothing to stop it. While she would do anything to protect anyone else, she doesn’t care about herself enough to go to any lengths to protect herself. How would your character deal with a cheating lover?- Tolerant to the extreme, Piercey would stay with the person for as long as possible, until she absolutely couldn’t stand it any longer. Even then, it would be very difficult to leave them, and it would take a lot for her to stick to her decision. She doesn’t get over people easily. How would your character respond to unwanted advances? Perhaps from the same gender if they are hetero, or opposite gender if homosexual.- When faced with such things as unwanted advances from others, Piercey really doesn’t know what to do, especially if she is close to the person. She doesn’t want to make them unhappy, but at the same time, it –is- unwanted. Usually she will end up giving in to them, unless she is in a relationship with someone else at the time, in which case she will tell that person, and let them take care of it. What are your character's hobbies?- Piercey has a few hobbies. She sings quite often, though usually not when people are around. She also enjoys drawing, especially with charcoals. Her favorite thing to draw, which is also usually all she draws, is eyes. She also loves to rollerblade and ice skate. She also spends a lot of time doing martial arts. Talents- As strange as it is, Piercey is really talented in math. She absolutely hates the subject, but she is obnoxiously good at it. She is also talented in just about any sport you could think of, but she hates them all. She’s also a talented writer and singer, though she rarely lets people see that. How did your character do in school?- When she was bothered enough to care, Piercey was fairly good at school. Though, she also couldn’t really stand to be told what to do, which didn’t work well. She was very socially awkward, and didn’t talk to many people, rarely even talking to her teachers. She was almost too smart for her own good; she wouldn’t do the work if she found it pointless, which was more often than not. Is your character employed? If so, where?- Piercey works as a journalist for an online magazine, as well as taking some online classes. (having very little social interaction always works best for her) Where does your character live?- Piercey actually lives in a nice sized wood cabin in the middle of nowhere in Washington state. Why is your character in New York city at the start of the story?- In all honesty, even Piercey isn’t quite sure what made her take the trip across the entire nation to one of the largest cities, NYC. She’s horrible around large groups of people, so it doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense. Even though, she was in need of a vacation, and it seemed like a good idea at the time. She could remember everybody freaking out about how wonderful it was there, and simply had to see it for herself. Life Goals (short term)- Gain some actual notice in the writing world Life Goals (long term)- Learn to fluently speak every language in existence.
Relationship status- Single
Immediate family members- both of her parents are still alive, though she has virtually nothing to do with them.
History- There is a lot to be said about Piercey’s past. While at first glance, she seems like your average teenage girl, there is quite a bit that has gone on that she refuses to talk about. From the time she was a young girl, her mother was verbally abusive towards her. She never physically harmed the young girl, but the harm had been done in a different manner. Because of that, she has always been searching for someone to really love her. That is what gets her in so much trouble now.
Piercey has never had good luck with guys. Actually, that would be more of an understatement. Every guy she has ever known has hurt her in some way. Her first real bad experience with guys was when she was thirteen. He was her first boyfriend, and he was a complete creep. He would follow her around everywhere. Though, looking back on it, he was probably the best guy she’s dated so far.
After him, she went through a trend of horrible guys. There was one guy, her longest relationship, who, for the majority of it, would physically abuse her, and all but controlled her entire life. She finally broke it off with him, just to find a guy even worse. He had been her friend since she was born, so she had no reason to suspect he would do what he did. They were dating for only a few weeks when he held her down, and attempted to rape her. She got lucky, extremely lucky, but that moment changed her for the rest of her life.
When she was 16, Piercey met her next guy. At first, he was the guy she always wished she could find. Kind; cared about others as much as himself; always treated her like she deserved to be. Then, everything changed. He was the first guy she would admit that she loved, at least a little bit. She gave him everything she had. That was when things started getting worse. He became obsessed with sex. It started to seem that it was the only reason he even kept Piercey around. And, in the end, it probably was. So, she made the most difficult choice of her life, and left him.
From there, Piercey decided to all but give up on guys. She never really thought it was much worth it, and there wasn’t really anyone she would date. She decided instead to focus on her life, more specifically on her schooling and theatre. Her theatre family was basically her life, and she wouldn’t be alive if it weren’t for them.
Throughout all of this, there had been one guy who refused to leave her mind. He seduced her with sweet words and kind actions, and she believed him. Then, when she was just starting to have faith in him, he would cut off all communication, leaving her broken and torn. And then, when things seemed at their lowest point in her life, he would come back, murmuring gentle words of apology, claiming never to do it again, and foolishly, she believed him. Three times he’s done that to her, and three times she’s foolishly taken him back into her life. Sometimes it seems that she will never learn.
Of course, not everything in Piercey’s life revolved around guys, though it may have seemed that way to her. Really, everything that she can think of in her life that was of any importance had a guy involved in some way. That’s just how her mind is programmed to work.
I'll whisper in your ear, You are mine, and you will never have to be alone. And when I pull you near, You'll know I love you like I never loved anyone. So let me be the one to lift you up, I'll carry you home. 'Cause now I'm here to keep you safe, And to catch you when you fall.

Yeah. She does martial arts because she wants to be able to protect herself. it also tends to calm her down.

Accepted. I expect a detailed physical description in the first post once the IC is up. You can add it into the profile if you want but I also want it within your post.

Jucesir... i think i forgot to clarify this... but you start out as a completely normal human. The gods haven't started manifesting yet. and once they do they lose all recollection of being a god.
At this point, once the game started i would have the goddess off fluffy bunnies incarnate in you and your penis would explode leaving a tattoo in the faint image of the golden arches... Maybe that helps?
Also his family's deaths? You should specify whether or not he did them. Annnnnnnnnd... btwz i don't think people get expelled from kindergarten for sexual advances... This rp wont start crazy. It;'ll go to hell later. Please revise your profile appropriately.
To recap: I'm going to be heavily influencing your character, decided if and what by they are manifested, what that does for them, what they encounter, and the environments they're in as well as what they are faced with. What you do with these variables is up to you. BUT you must start out as a human being. Being a serial rapist is fine with me as long as the psychological profile fits. make me believe your character.
Sorry if im being anal. I dont want to limit your creative ability but i do have some high standards for this rp as it will only be as good as the sum of its characters.

Also as I have hinted at... I am not using any pantheon whatsoever. These beings are called "gods" for lack of a better word. That's all. They are intelligent beings and powerful because they have had enough time to unlock their mind's potential and learn the "cheat codes of the universe" that would allow them to influence things.

Sorry man. Nice concept though. I do love antagonists. But I'm going to be riding everyone's character hard, they will be changed or hardened by crisis. Or come to some shocking revelation hopefully.
