Player: BI

Name: Adam Zahi

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Hair Color: Black

Eye Color: Brown

Ethnicity: Half American, Half Indian. Physical appearance tends to be more towards the American side.

Further Description: 5' 11' and weighing a little over 140 lbs, Adam is on the skinny side. He appears to be American, however his Indian ancestry is visible with his Asian features and tanned skin.

Despite being a bit thin, he is in excellent physical shape. While he is not the strongest, he is well-toned.

Current Clothing: A black t-shirt with blue jeans.

Equipment: Wallet, Watch, cell phone, and chapstick. Everything in his pockets. He also has black-rimmed glasses on his face.

Biography: Adam was raised in various parts of the world. He spent his childhood in his motherland, India and then moved to the middle-east when he was five. He moved to Europe for a year, and then went to Egypt until he was 9. After he turned 10, he spent all his life in the United States. His parent's jobs were the main reason for moving around.

Being around the world has given him a unique perspective on life; he's usually known to be the quiet one who analyzes the situation before speaking. He's very nice, and gets along well with others -- he had learned to do this as a result of his constant shifting from location to location.

Intro Post:

2.51. 3.71. 4.94. 5.50...

The numbers on the small digital display continued to rise at what seemed to be an exponential rate and the frown on Adam's face increased proportionately. Gas was so damn expensive. He stood idly by his car waiting for it fill up. Adam looked around the the area briefly; there wasn't much activity even though it was close to eight in the morning.

Adam slowly reached up and ran his slim fingers through his thin black hair, and then stopped at the side of his face. He readjusted the glasses on his face, even though there was no need to. He felt slightly awkward simply standing around waiting for the gas to fill.

As he waited, another car pulled over to the other side of the pump, and a young female stepped out of the car. She made eye-contact with Adam, smiled, and then quickly looked away.

Adam continued to a wait, listening to the sound of the gas pouring into the tank, and smelling the nausea-inducing scent of gasoline. He begun to tap a random song from memory onto the frame of the car. Shortly afterwards, the pump clicked off.

Adam picked it up, tilted the last remaining drops out of the nozzle to insure he got every drop that he paid for, and returned it to it's rightful place on the pump where it could wait for its next victim. He looked at the terminal, which stated over thirty dollars of gas, with less than half that amount of gallons being dispensed.

Adam sighed and roughly pushed the a few buttons on the terminal to stop the incessant beeping asking whether he wanted a receipt. As he walked, he noticed that his surroundings became dull. His eyes drifted to the sky, assuming to see a large cloud blocking the morning sun.

However, what he saw startled him. There were no clouds, and the blue sky was replaced by a deep, scarlet thread. Adam felt his feet lock into the ground, and a cold shiver run through his spine. That sight alone was more than Adam needed to know that something terrible was happening.

To amplify his fear, the ground began to rumble. Slowly at first, but the intensity increased. Adam had experienced an earthquake before, but this was far different. His mind attempted to rationalize everything that happened, but nothing could come to his mind. He was not religious, but he remembered his father talking of a doomsday. Was this it?

Adam began to look for shelter, and then he felt the ground pull away from him. He felt as if he was on a trampoline, and the ground had been yanked out from underneath him. He looked at the ground, and it dissolved away, and Adam was surrounded by darkness.

He attempted to reach around, but there was nothing around him. There was no up; there was no down. There was nothing.

"Where am I?" Adam called out, his voice crackling from fear.

In return, all he heard was laughter. Evil, maniacal laughter. That laughter made Adam cringe. It was the most hideous thing he had ever heard.

He slowly began to feel a tug. A sense of direction, something pulling him down. The world began to rematerialize, and Adam saw ground. And he was falling towards it, head first.

He extended his arms, and attempted to straighten himself out and was semi-successful. He landed on his knees, and quickly got to his feet. He was in a wooded area. A forest. A dark forest.

Adam quickly spun around. His breathing was heavy, and his heart-rate was increased. For the first time in his life, he was terrified.

She came from a relatively rich family but once she hit college she made her own living, it was good though she was granted a scholarship for academic excellence, she only had to pay 15% of her tuition. She had wanted to work robbery but the choice wasn’t really hers so she got stuck in homicide. She started to actually enjoy and got a sense of satisfaction from putting murderers behind bars.

Player: iHawk

Name: Marco Croft

Age: 25

Description: Marco is around 5'4'', wears a plain black shirt and khaki slacks. He keeps his reddish-brown hair short and managable and usually keeps well shaven. He has light blue eyes which aren't really any use to him - as he is blind, so they're usually kept behind a pair of plain black sun glasses.

Equipment: Marco is a writer, so he keeps with him a voice recorder for whenever inspiration strikes, he also usually carries with him a collapsable walking stick for obvious reasons.

Notable Skills: Marco - being a writer - is remarkably good at making things up. Other then that he is trained in some self defence using his walking stick, as being blind he is a walking target for muggings - which are all too common where he lives.

Bio: Marco was born blind, but he never thought it a dissability as he had much better hearing, smelling, touch and taste then most people. Having never seen he doesn't think any of what he can and can't sense "odd". He was of course picked on in school, but taking a self defence course (as recomended by his father) helped bring that to a stop. Even without seeing an attacker most people who wish you harm aren't very quiet. He survived, and actually thrived when it came time for writing. Being blind as he was he had trouble actually "writing" with a pencil, but he was very good at actually thinking up what to write, which in of itself was enough for As in english all the way to highschool.

In highschool he picked as many of the "Creative" courses as his curriculum would allow. Even before starting highschool he was sure he wanted to write. It wasn't until four years after finishing highschool that he finished his first book - entitled "Real", which was about a young Sorcerer who learned to use her abilities and help those in need, she eventually is told that nothing that's happening is actually real, and she must decide whether to remain in the dream, or to return to her real life.

Taking another year and a half to find a publisher that didn't want to edit the book like mad, "Real" was published and became quite a hit in the Fantasy world. Needless to say he's lived well off for the last year or so, writing a bit here and there althoguh he still has yet to find a story to really commit himself to.



Player: ShadowGonissa

Name: Nina MacMurchada

Age: 20

Description: Irish American, about 5'10, tall and fairly thin. very tan arms and a ruddy face. with freckles and glasses. Grey-blonde.

Equipment: A backpack, matches, pens, two notebooks half-full of writing notes, a New Testament, and a copy of Perelandra by C.S.Lewis.

Notable Skills:a poet and writer, can use computers, can drive (but not legally).

Bio: Nina is a nerd, and has been one all her life. She was always made fun of for her love of rodents, not so good fashions, and her mature literary tastes. A huge fan of C.S.Lewis, J.R.R.Tolkien, G.K.Chesterton, and George Bernard Shaw.

Since high school, she has fallen in love with Ireland, desiring to visit there and study the ancient legends of the country. Ireland has no ancient history, because it is buried under so much legend, and Nina wishes to reconcile the two.

However ambitious, she is unfortunately more of a dreamer than an activist. She still lives with her parents, and has no driver's license, or even a permit. Works in a popular bookstore. She is trying to write her own book now, but her initiative isn't what it should be.

Bio: Ken was born with a disease which effected nearly his entire body. His immune system has troubles, he has a terribly cough, he has frequent organ failure if he doesn't take his medicine. His neural system is quite damaged, meaning he can't feel things as well as others. He has many bumps, bruises and cuts to show for it.

He lived with his family until the age of 12 when several of his organs failed in a chain-like reaction and he was rushed to a child care clinic where he has lived ever since. Although he had taken many different forms of medication, he suffered still.

That was until Zyathil was discovered. The miracle drug kept all his organs at bay, and even returned some feeling to his body. Just weeks before he was planned to return home, He went to sleep in his bed... and woke up on a forest floor.

Story Summary

This will be a regularly updated summary of the story so far, so that anyone can jump into the RP at anytime without having to sift through the whole thing.

It began as a normal day. It was always a normal day. All humanity watched as its world was torn apart, and then a few survivors were thrown into a forest of some sort. Confused and alone, they wandered, eventually finding on another. But the threat was far from over.

From a distance the most loyal servants of the Darkness watched, and slowly they trapped the survivors. However, not all hope was lost. Moments before they killed the survivors, they themselves were killed by an angelic being named Aadi.
