View Full Version : Until the Last One Falls {Literate!}
Without death, there cannot be life. Without sadness, there cannot be happiness. Without chaos, there cannot be serenity. Without darkness, there cannot be light.
Everything has to have an opposite, a negative to the positive, for without this neither can be measured and neither can be proven to exist. An unbalanced equation in any of these would cause a complete change in the world due to chain reactions. If light increased over darkness, there would be more peace, and in turn more happiness, which would cancel out the human instinct to kill and would strengthen immune systems due to sheer will. This would show a rise in life over death. Sounds perfect, doesn't it?
But even that positive dream has a negative alternative.
With more darkness, people would begin to fear one another and everything around them. This would cause more chaos to ensue, killing would be on the rise, and sadness and anger would skyrocket to a point in which the world would be cast into destruction. The exact opposite of its euphoric counterpart...
But, what could ever set off such a calamity, or such a heaven on earth? A paranormal force, a corrupted or enlightened soul... Perhaps even luck could waver the line of good and evil to favor one or the other. If asked, most would agree that what mattered most wasn't how it happened, but the fact that building the perfect world is much harder than watching it all collapse into a tangible Hell...
But, what would happen if we did indeed fall onto one side of the scale...?
(No posting yet!!)
On an 'Earth' where humans have become an endangered species fit for slavery in every manner, darkness thrives and the light is rapidly fading. Demons, Vampires, and other creatures have taken over, coming from seemingly nowhere on a night when the darkness lasted a little too long...

Other:
Hatsu (Eryx, Shapeshifter)
Played By: Eryx
Name: Zerin
Age: 219
Race: Demon
Gender: Male
Personality: It depends on his situation. He's a bit of an actor, so he'll change to suit whatever problem arises. As far as he's concerned, no one has to know how he really is.
Background: Born of the shadows, Zerin had a very 'quiet' life until recently. Day in and day out, he would watch the human world with immense envy and fascination, learning their every pattern of movement, their every emotion, their every reaction... He hated the humans. They had the ability to move, to live, to grow! All he could do was stay in place, never touching, never smelling, never tasting the world around him, until the day he was set free. Almost immediately, he occupied himself with the onslaught of humans, and was actually the first to take a couple into submission as slaves. Now, he lives in a rather large mansion, but he isn't alone. Humans are constantly at his mercy, around thirty of them living in the house along with him. They cook for him, clean for him, and do whatever he wishes... all on the terms that if they do, they live to see another day.
Appearance: A beacon of death and crimson blood, Zerin stood at a slender, yet lean 6'4, towering over the majority humans below him. Blood-hued hair was short, layered oddly in a rising diagonal from the front to the back. He usually wore whatever he saw fit, however plain or complicated it may be, though it always complimented his bi-colored eyes, one being yellow and the other a bright scarlet. Neither pupil was black, both being an odd glowing orange color, however no one would complain. Somehow, they only added to the charm of his almost elf-like ears, vampire-like (but not exactly alike, as they don't hold any special ability) fangs, and darkly-tanned skin...
Extra:
--Fears: Being unable to move.
--Likes: Fire, hot food, sweet food, his slaves.
--Dislikes: Humans in general, sour food, too much light.
--Sexual Orientation: Whatever's in his bed.
--Powers: His fingernails can grown to claws, nearly unbreakable. He has the power over fire, and can manipulate it into any weapon shape he wishes. His speed is almost too fast for the human eye to catch.
--Weaknesses: Cold temperatures slow his movement, and water counters his fire-- but not just any ordinary water. Only what most would consider 'magic' water would be able to be used.
Played by: GunsXxgoXxBangXxBang
Name:Ashley Rivers
Age:18
Race:Human
Gender:Female
Personality:Ashley is in a sense two people. When she is in front of her master and any of his friends Ashley tends to be very quite and submissive. She never talks out of turn and her eyes are always down cast. At the end of the day however she becomes totally different. In the comforting company of the other slaves she is a talkative friendly person. She is always trying to cheer the other slaves up especially the younger ones.
Background: Ashley was born into slavery and as never known about life outside of being a slave. She trained fairly easily only putting up minor resistance. She was told by the slaves around her that there was no use fighting because she was just going to lose in the end. She as only faint memory's of her parents from her early childhood. The reason being is when she turned seven years of age she was sold at an auction to her current master. Ashley adjusted over the course of a couple weeks. An older slave took her in as if she where his own daughter which made every thing easier for the young girl. Now at the age of 18 Ashley fully understands her place in life. Although she resents her master and all other creatures who hold power over the humans she knows that any resistance or mutiny would cause her death or the death of people she holds dear.
Appearance: The fact that the slaves get fed very little has made Ashley very slim adding to her almost fragile appearance. Also Ashley is very short for her age only standing at 5'2" a fact that a lot of the other slaves tease her about almost daily. Since she isn't out side a lot her skin tone is very pail white which makes her sky blue eyes pop out even more. Her face is framed by curly blond hair that falls in ringlets down to her elbows. Most of the time it is put up in a ponytail to keep it out of her face while she works. She wears a simple white dress that goes to her knees along with plain sandals. Her back as five long scars running across it that she got when she was sixteen, she had disobeyed her masters order and was whipped for it.
Extra:
--Fears:being left alone, the dark, big dogs, small places.
--Likes:any thing with sugar in it, when she gets to go outside, talking to the other slaves, cats.
--Dislikes:the creatures who rule over humans, being a slave, getting punished, seeing little ones get hurt, dogs.
--Sexual Orientation:straight
--Powers:She has no powers.
--Weaknesses: Her weakness is darkness and small places, she is very claustrophobic.
Played By: Animeboo
Name: Lauren Urie
Age: 23
Race: Lauren's mother was a human and father was a vampire, so, technically, she's half of both. Though, she has no vampire attributes that she has found other than her fangs and ability to see in the dark, like a feline.
Gender: Female
Personality: Lauren can be very quiet when she needs to be and is very patient. Though, when something strikes her, she will fight back as if she couldn't control her own body. Sometimes argumentative and sometimes headstrong, she can be as stubborn as a mule. Lauren does seem to have the ability to see the good in people, no matter what they've done. Though, when she looks at Zerin, she wants to believe he's at all good, but just cannot bring herself to see him as anything more than her heartless Master, for her hate clouds her kindness.
Background: Lauren's father died when she was young, so she lived with her mother until she was just 10, when Zerin captured both her and her mother and made them slaves. She is thankful Zerin did not kill them, but she hates enslavement more than life itself. Lauren takes care of her mother while serving Zerin, whom she refers to as Master, but her mother is growing sick and Lauren fears for her. She is a friend of all the slaves and is well known through out the house as the one to come to for sympathy or help.
Appearance: Lauren, though acting as puerile as she does, she has very gentle facial features. Apart from her red, demon-like eyes, you could not tell she had such a rough life, for her face showed no sign. Her long blonde hair reaches down to her mid-spine and the bangs of her hair seem to retreat left of her face, covering the left eye. Lauren has found the ability to sow clothes together, for she has not had new ones since she was ten. So, she takes random cloth and makes clothes, not only for herself, but for other slaves as well. Her arms are langly, but her legs are long and nimble, making her around 6' feet tall.
Extra:
--Fears: Zerin, pain, death, being alone.
--Likes: Fresh air, friends. She does not like many things, for all she see's is despair.
--Dislikes: Slavery, fire, Zerin, the world.
--Sexual Orientation: She has always found herself attracted to men, but she's never really opened up to anyone.
--Powers: None that she knows of. She likes to think she has the power of persuasion...
--Weaknesses: Lauren can't stand seeing people in pain; so often she finds herself helpless when she see's Zerin cause so many people to anguish.

Played By: Animeboo
Name: Mishtunku (Mish)
Age: He's lost count of the years, but Mish thinks he's around 200.
Race: Vampire
Gender: Male
Personality: Sarcastic, evil genius, likes to play pranks and poke fun at humans.
Background: Mish fell in love so long ago, he can't remember the woman's name. He has not forgotten her though, through the years; the smell of her perfume, the color of her hair and the softness of her skin. Unfortunatly, she died as he continued to live, for he was a vampire. Mish has never truly let that love die, but he has replaced it with hate for the world. He likes to drown out the ain with blood and violence, but he also likes to act rather sadistically, causing others pain just to make himself feel better. Though, he does have a soft side that no one knows about; and he plans to keep it that way.
Appearance: Mish is not as tall and handsome as his companion, Zerin, but he does have an air about him that floats and attracts others. He stands at just about six feet and his dirt brown hair stands up straight and is greasy from not being washed. He has blood red eyes that shif in the night, but his most stunning feature are his shoulders, which stand very slenderly. He's quick and fast, wearing his favorite black overcoat just to make him look more dark.
Extra:
--Fears: He tries to hide the fact that he has any at all, but he fears being watched and caring. He fears caring, for he knows that, once he cares about something, it will be taken away.
--Likes: Blood, women, the color black, being sarcastically dark.
--Dislikes: Feeling, being in a crowd, women (it's a love/hate relationship).
--Sexual Orientation: Straight
--Powers: The normal vampire strengths, his wings, his claws and his fangs.
--Weaknesses: Women, the sun, caring.

Played By: Eryx
Name: Hatsu
Age: 20
Race: Shapeshifter
Gender: Male
Personality: As unpredictable as his form, Hatsu is impossible to read. One moment, he'll be sniffing flowers, the next he'll be burning down the field. He's nowhere near sane, though he does have his civilized moments.
Background: He was born of chaos, a creature worth fearing in every aspect. His danger was only forewarned by his eyes, as anyone who knew about him knew that each color they turned symbolized a different mood, a different aspect of his personality. This is how those he got emotionally close to survived, and how his victims have always fallen. After watching all of the mess that occurred, and loving every bit of it, Hatsu gave himself a goal in his life. He'd seen humans fall into submission, work on their hands and knees constantly, and all just to live another day... They were like pets, and like all living beings, Hatsu felt the need to call one his own. However, there was a catch... Only someone who managed to survive being around him for a week would be his slave. Having yet to find this person, he figured that they had to be out there. He would find them eventually, and when he did, they would earn something very, very special. What was it? Who knew.
Appearance: Being a Shapeshifter, he could look however he wished, though his true form was that of a fallen angel of sorts. Unless he felt like changing, he always stayed in this original state of a 5'10 boy with short, messy black hair and pale skin. His eyes were the most intriguing feature on him, as they were never the same for long. They were linked to his personality, magic in themselves as they changed colors to match his current mood. The only problem with this was that very few had ever been around him long enough to figure out what each color meant... And by thet time most of them had figured out one or two colors, they'd be dead. The one color everyone who'd ever heard about him knew?
Black meant 'kill'.
Extra: Hatsu speaks in third-person, which only adds to the fact that he's a masochistic/sadistic nutcase.
--Fears: He doesn't know the meaning.
--Likes: Everything~
--Dislikes: Everything~
--Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
--Powers: The natural abilities of any living thing he turns into. He can also shape his body into weaponry.
--Weaknesses: He has not mastered every type of form he can shift into, so the only form he's really difficult to beat in is his humanoid one.

//Hey Eryx when are we going to start??//
((Now~! I hope the creepiness gets across to you. XD))
"All the little poppies sitting in a row..."
The childlike voice hung in the still air of night, floating over the moonlit field of emerald grasses surrounded by crooked, gray trees in a melody much resembling that of a nursery rhyme tune parents would teach their kids on the early nights of youth before the children would drift to their imaginative worlds of dreams.
"Red as apples, dark as blood, waving in the wind..."
Back and forth the notes would bounce, demented in tone and young in voice, the words dancing on the plane of existence so commonly found in this dark era; the plane of death and darkness.
"One poppy for mommy, one for daddy, too..."
A harmless rhyme... with a deeper meaning tied to that of chaos and shadow.
"Each little blossom, counting for the dead..."
The grass suddenly began to brown and shrivel, and suddenly all disappeared and came into the center of the barren field. It piled up, and formed into the shape of Hatsu. A sadistic giggle escaped the figure as he moved around on the dirt.
----
Zerin sighed, walking out of his room without a shirt or socks on and stalking down the hallway. He came to the main hall and jumped up onto the railing overlooking the grand entrance. A few girls scampered around cleaning and whatnot, and the demon smirked. He was enjoying having every little girl he ever wanted grovel at his feet, and do his bidding... However, he did have his favorites.
He raised his hand, and all the girls around stopped.
"... Lauren. Come here."

Kimiko turned when the master said something, she ignored him and got back to work soon. She then began to hum the childs rymth her mother had taught her.
"1,2 I`m coming for you 3,4 better lock your door 5,6 I`ll make it quick 7,8 I won`t be late 9,10 you`ll lose your head" she hummed with a silent laugh, it was her favorite song. She was mopping the floor, her hair was getting in her face, just like always.
She hated being a maid, it was annoying, everyone else seemed to like it though, but hey you never know.

Lauren gulped and turned from her dusting. The sight of Zerin made her stomach jump into her chest. She did not smile, she did not nod at him, but walked neatly over to his side. She saw Kimiko in the corner of her eye as she walked past, but Lauren's eyes did not linger on her.
"Yes, Master Zerin?" she asked, bowing her head. Looking into his half colored eyes just made her remember how evil he was; but she did not stray her glance, for fear of being striken.
________________________________
At the same time in a different place, Mishtunku was idely strolling through the wreaked city. Called Mish by many of his friends (if you could say he had many), Mish did not mind the nickname; it made him feel more... human. As he walked, he could feel the misery crawling under his pale skin and it only made him grin. He wished something exciting would happen for once, but he wasn't sure if he would regret it if something did.
These meaningless thoughts were interrupted when he stumbled upon a field of brownish grass. Of course, all grass was grey, but he could tell this was no mere field. Mish walked closer and knew his assumptions were correct. The grass began to form the shape of a man, stretching and crawing into the middle of the field like moths drawn to a flame. Mish smiled as the figure became a whole.
Zerin grabbed her by the jaw immediately, bringing his face close to hers so that his breath could be felt and his words, quiet and commanding, could be heard. "I'm hungry... fetch." He always treated Lauren like this. She was hit more often than any other of his slaves, as she was the rebellious one that he couldn't bring himself to kill. He knew why. She was his favorite, and all because of that spunk, but he'd never admit it. That's why he'd never called her to his bed before.
----
Hatsu danced around for a little bit more before his body dispersed into petals of a flower, floating over to scatter around Mish until he decided to come together behind him. An arm wrapped around his waist, and another laugh escaped him, this one more demented and quieter. "Hello~" He smiled, currently pink eyes staring up at him. Should any strikes be given for being so close, he'd simply turn to a little mouse so that he was too low to hit.

Alice was with the wolfs in the forest listening to the sound of "HUMANS" singing. Though she looked like a human, she was a wolf to the wolves, they were her family and she was theres. She liked to hunt and she hated humans, though once she met a nice human girl, she played with her and it was fun, Alice still only like that little girl. Her thoughts were always gumbled, except for when she read. She liked reading, there were many cool stories.
______________________
Kimiko watched the Master, she hated him, but he never hit her. She was very innocent for any human, even a child. Though she had dark thoughts to, like everyone else. She had finished her last chore and went, with a skip to the master. She then said with a smile, in her soft innocent voice"I'm all done Master may I go have something to eat"
(Uh, until Alice's application is posted, please don't post with her... I'll have it up soon.)

All Lauren could do was to stop herself from sneering. She nodded, punching her pride down as best she could.
"Yes, Master Zerin." she said, her jaw pounding. Lauren took one defiant glance at Zerin before turning around and walking her best to the kitchen. She was slightly limping, for the night before, she had tripped while trying to retrieve Zerin some food, but she knew she could manage... she had to.
______________________
Mish just smirked at this creature's impressive shifting. He had one thought of striking the beast, but he just gave a smirk. Mish looked back at his pink, mouse-like eyes.
"I don't think I've seen a demon of your... excaliber." he huffed and gave a slight wiggle of his shoulder.
