EoFF [RP]

Well, it's been quite some years since i was last on this site. the last time i was here was 2003. but a buch of the old people here and i had this massive ORPG going. and i think i would like to start that up one more time.

Here's the rules:
you can NOT fight anyone unless it has been approved by the gamemaster (me)

you level up according to normal game details. (will be worked out as soon as the game picks up)

no god characters

give complete details of your characters (you may make more than one, but remember, you will controll them ALL)

characters can be mixed (i.e. warrior/mage) unless they contradict mage each other (i.e. necromancer/white)

all start at level 2

only one character in each party is allowed legendary weapons. powers of these weapons are not yet known. that will be determined through out the game

here's the setting:
Archane, a world where death is dominate. the year is 1256. a world battered and destroyed by the ultimate evil, Morpheus. A mage bent on world destruction. Follow Deadpool and his two friends, Mephisto and Malice as they travel around Archane meeting new friends and enemies (you guys) and fight together to finally win their world back and defefat the epitomy of evil.

now my three characters are as follows:
Deadpool-a loner who trusts no one. his trust is earned. he wields two legendary swords, the ragnarok and the masamune. he is a warrior of no magical skill whatsoever. his family was killed by morpheus when he was a little boy. morpheus than took him in and trained him. origins unknown to characters, that was player knowledge alone.

Mephisto-an elven mage. age is not known. origin is from the elven island, Bannor. Not much is known of this character other than he is a powerful healer.

Malice-A cold hearted killer. A cat-like being who wields three weapons, one sword, one katana and one dagger. known in certain towns as Drake. hated by many, loved by less, feared by all. his family was killed. all his first victims. more player knowledge, not character. you will learn more as the game progresses.

These are basics for what i want i character profiles. if you want, please go into more details. there will be days where i will not be able to look at the forum, so the first person to reply to this will be put in second of command. thank you for playing and LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!

I don't understand...but...I guess i'm second in command??? :D
EDIT:I get it...But I only want one charactor...

Alive-Man, SECOND IN COMMAND :D , he weilds a suped up version of the Buster Sword, and is HARDCORE!! MWA HA HA HA HAAA!

Hey, Alive-Man, wanna fight?

welcome back

if you want to do a text-based RP in the forums, do it in the Writer's Corner. Otherwise, welcome back.

I thought this was going to be an RP where we RPed as EoFFers. I was going to be cl_out and I would sleep with Leeza or maybe Destai.

Let me fight ALL of you!!!

Hey psy. Wanna be white...

I thought this was going to be an RP where we RPed as EoFFers. I was going to be cl_out and I would sleep with Leeza or maybe Destai.

now, when i said this was going to be an ORPG, i meant this was for nothing else but that. so please be considerate and if you want to play, put in your characters and character profiles. this isn't a normal chat thread, this is strictly RP. thank you.

guess i'll join in. here's my 2 characters.

Name: Faros Katamaar
Age: 39
Occupation: Rebel fighter (demon hunter, etc.)
Tyoe: Dark Gunner
Weapons: 2x Custom Desert Eagle Magnums, 2x Revolver Shotguns "The Hybrids", 2x Auto Uzi's
Info: Faros' family was killed when he was only 15, from then on he has fought against this evil source, killing anything that opposes him. He has changed a lot since he was a child, he has become wiser to what people may do and say. He is very thoughtful, with a very dark personality.

NAme: Magnus Venitus
Age: 22
Occupation: Ex-military, Mercenary
Type: Dark Knight
Weapons: One broad claymore sword "Furio" (legendary) and a single .45 Magnum
Info: Magnus always wanted to follow in his father's footsteps in the Military, until his father was killed and his mother was assasinated by the Military. Ever since, 5 years ago, he left the Military to become a lone Mercenary, working on his own missions and sometimes Free-lancing, head hunting, etc. Although Magnus isn't all stealth, using mainly power and brute force, he can sometimes be very aware of his surroundings and can switch battle tactics very quickly to adapt to the situation. Again, he trusts no-one but himself...

Faros, Magnus, and Mailce all start in the same town. A small town outside of Bannor, known only as Junk Town. this town is known mostly for it's ability to recover almost any form of material. whether it be metals or items, they can find it.the time is around 2 A.M. but it is unsure of due to the fact that Morpheus has blackened the sky with the flames of smaller towns and villages. the screams of dying young ones fill your ears. an old man comes up to Magnus.

"Kind sir, would you be so bold as to help us? There is a creature terrorizing our part of town. please, we are not strong enough to stop it and no one else iwll help us."

"Of course, sir, i'm sure we could handle it, right Faros?" Magnus turned to Faros and looked up,
"Anything for the civilians.." Faros replied.

The Old man lead Magnus and Faros to the other side of town, there were many people trying to throw things at this "unusual" beast.
"What the hell are they trying to do, they're gonna get themselves killed!!" Magnus exclaimed.
As we were walking, another "warrior" walked up to the beast....

the "warrior" looked at this creature and began to talk to it. A language never before heard by either Faros or Magnus.

"Faros, what the hell is this goof doing?"

"I'm not to sure, but i think he's trying to talk it down or something.........they look the same. it's really weird. except the one is on two legs instead of all four."

"And the warrior is all dressed up, ha, he looks like he's going to a funeral. Is he a mage of some sort?"

"I don't know Faros, but he looks like he might have things under control.......maybe."

As the wrrior kept talking, the beast began to look around as though it didn't know where it was or what it was doing. Faros and Magnus looked at eachother in complete awe........and confusion. The beast began to sit down, when a kid threw a rock at it, hitting it in the face. The cat like person standing next to it, attempting to talk it down, immediately pulled a sword and prepared for a battle. Faros and Magnus pulled their weapons and ran up to the battle.

"I GUESS I SPOKE TO SOON!!" Magnus yelled.

"I don't know what you were thinking, but i guess you'll need our help," Faros said to the other being.

"I was doing just fine, i did not require your assistance with this minor problem." The voice didn't come from the being's mouth, but directly into Faros' mind.

"Faros, what's going on, why are we just standing here?!"

No sooner that Magnus said that, the beast struck out and killed three civilians with one quick swipe.

Cat-Creature Stats: 3000 HP, 2500 MP, Nothing to steal, EXP will be determined after the battle. The weak point on this boss is obvious, it's head. Armor on the rest of the body, thin but magic. immune to most magic, but physical will do best. Counter attacks for every two hits it recieves. Counter hits all party members.

(don't worry, i won't kill you off just yet lol)

Other Being: "Well, you guys came to lend your assitance, let us see if you are worthy to fight by my side."

Faros: "You're cocky, what's your name?"

Other Being: "We shall save formalities for later, let us take care of this savage beast and save this useless race of people."

Name: Shoden
Weapon: Any type of blade.

Skills: total pwnage, flame war, spam and uber omnislash.

appearence: Me in FF form

(uhh, Deadpool, i think i know my characters better, could you just type your bit about yours, and then i'll do mine, thanks..)

Faros drew his two Shotgun Hybrids, locking them both for some gunslinging and Magnus drew Furio, as he did, Faros already set off directly towards the beast. Faros ran, jumped, and fired at the beasts' head several times whilst flipping over it, then on landing he reloaded both 8 bullet cartridges.
"Magnus your turn!!" Faros shouted from behind the beast, which seemed very angry and unsettled because of Faros' attack.
"Right...lets see what this things all about..." Magnus ran towards the beast, and as he leapt for it's head, the beast lunged and head-butted Magnus to the ground,
"Ugh...what the hell?! c'mon 'mage'! do your thing!"

(sorry, shadow, i got a little carried away. Shoden, you'll be with Deadpool and Mephisto in Bannor. You'll come in after the battle.)

As the beast began to drip blood from the place Faros had shot him, he started to walk towards the downed Magnus. Magnus gets up and notices a sharp flash. the beast drops to the ground in a huff of deep breath.

Malice, standing in one spot still, begins to slowly chant. he lifts from the ground as a long, thin blade appears in front of him. the beast begins to get up and lunges at him. Mephisto grabs the blade and slices the creature in the armor, disappears and reappears next to Faros. With a look of disappointment on his face, Mephisto tries again as the creature swings his tail towards the two protagonists........

"Looks like it failed, mage!" Magnus raved, "My turn!"
Magnus picked himself from the ground and picked up his sword. He started toying with his blade, swinging it around, flipping it, the suddenly, he flicked the sword and firmly grasped it and took a heavy downward swing at the beasts head, right between the eyes.
Magnus lifted his head and opened his eyes to find the beast had a gaping vertical slash, bleeding like a ravine. The beast growled loudly.

"Faros, i need a little help here.." Magnus called in mild panick.
"Almost there, gimme a sec..." Faros replied. He clicked the last cartridge into the shotgun and ran around the beast, firing multi shots at the beast, all over.

The beast fell to it's knees, heavily weakened.....

*critical strike*

the beast began to struggle to it's legs, gasping for air and swinging wildly.

"Good, it seems you have blinded the savage," exclaimed Malice. "But beware, with this he could fall into a frenzy at any time. these creatures are known for their ability to fight with great injuries. Faros, i think it's your turn now, hit him with all you've...........WATCH OUT FOR TH BOY!!!!"

At this time, there was a little boy running up to it with a stick. the beast turns to him and lashes out. Malice jumps in front of the boy and takes the blow full force to the head. he falls to the ground and lays still. the cat begins to growl in a furious tone. Malice's sword is stuck in his paw.

(1000 HP Left)

The Cat, hits the ground, and begins to glow a deep red color. the ground begins to shake violently. Houses near by start to crumble to the ground. Flames begin to jump from the creatures body, reaching out to anyone around. the little boy is singed almost instantly, not making it. Malice wakes up to find he can't see from the blood in his eyes. He stands up and begins the same ritual. Flames begin jumping out at the beast. Malice turns a bright blue color, than white. The cat gets up and begins to back up towards Faros.

Shoden got a lighter, he bent over nad farted after he lit it the fart decimated everything.

-500 all.

lol, nice one shoden. don't worry the fights almost over.

ok just had to let off some steam, sorry for the smell.

Poison status to all except the user.

-2 a min

lol, you gotta hate it when you become immune to your own stench. GOD YOU REAK

care for another light?

um...................no. not yet. save it for the party that we'll have in honor of your flatulence

ORGY!

(rofl, Shoden)

"It's time for a little gunslinging!!!!" Faros shouted loudly, al of a sudden Faros started to glow a black eminence. Whilst glowing Faros started to juggle all of his guns at once, flicking and flipping them, firing them when they landed in his hands, both shotguns, both uzi's and both Magnums, all consecutively.
The beast fell to the ground bleeding, it roared as it turned to a cloud of dust and dissappeared...
Faros turned normal again.
"That's how you do it, gee it feels good to kick some ass." Faros commented.

Faros leveled up to level three. Magnus levels up to level three and learns something (if you want him to.) Malice levels up and learns Suicide (heals the party 1/3 of HP and MP for the cost of his own life. it climbs as he levels it up.

Malice walks up to magnus, "Thank you for your assistance. I don't think i could've done that without you two. please accompany me to Bannor, i have a party waiting there. I will leave it in your hands. if you show up than i will know your answer. if you do not than it will be okay as well."

~~in bannor~~
FMV-the screen opens on a thriving city. people bustiling to get places, noise of traffic. children playing and having fun. laughter and voices fill the air. we find deadpool and mephisto walking into town. as they hit the roads, the noises of life stops as they walk. the children look and run away from them, with creams filling their voice boxes.-End FMV

Deadpool: "Well, what do you suppose we do about this little situation we have. no one will look at us, no one will help us by the looks of it. I need a way to fix my sword........that battle hurt me way to much to do it myself."

Mephisto: "Yes, sir. i will look. But i can not ensure your safety while i am away."

Deadpool: "I can handle my self against these civilians, don't worry about me."

Mephisto leaves deadpool, bloody and battered near a restaurant. a man comes and sits next to him and asks him what happened.

Deadpool: "Why should i tell you?"

Man: "Because i might be able to help you."

Deadpool: "I will tell you my story, but only if you promise to help me and tend to my wounds."

Man: "okay, i will do that."

Deadpool than begins to delve deep into his story.
FMV-Opens with a dark cavern lit only by torches every few feet. Deadpool, Malice, and Mephisto walk down the narrow path wiht weapons drawn. Morpheous' theme begins to play. Deadpool stops as a light appears from the end of the cavern. They continue on only to find a large room with pentagrams on the floor and walls. Morpheous than appears out of thin air and begins talking.-end FMV

Morpheous: "Ahhh, Deadpool. It has been a long time, my old friend. Why did you ever leave me?"

Deadpool: "I left because i felt you had nothing more to give me. You killed my family, killed my friends. you left me with nothing but a hatred to dwell in my heart. You hoped it would grow into something you could manipulate. But now it is the hatred for you that i feel. and i am here to kill you for what you have done to everyone. revenge is finally mine."

The battle begins. there is no layer control. The battle rages on with deadpool doing no damage to Morpheous at all. About three minuites into the battle Morpheous Summons a dark power and knocks deadpool to the ground. Battle ends

FMV-Deadpool is blown back by an explosion. He hits the wall and just sits there, not moving. His mask is torn and blood is dripping from his face. His costume is completely shredded, blood everywhere. He looks up at Morpheous floating in the air smiling down at him with an evil grin.-End FMV

Morpheous: "I trained you, little one. you are never going to be a match for me. i know what you can do, and i made sure that you weren't able to do more. there's no way you can win. no i have left you with life. to show you mercy. you are no longer under my command, so leave me before i kill you and your firends."

End Flashback sequence.

~~in bannor~~
Deadpool: "well, that's about it. so i need help from an enchanted swords smith and a damn good hospital."

Man: "come with me, i'll help heal your wouuds."

(sorry, guys, that's all i have time for. enter the new people here.)

(ok DP, the RP is safe with me.
Unknowns, you can join if you wish, just find somewhere to enter and try to fit to the story)

*Magnus learns Mirror Blade lvl 1 - he would flick his sword so it spins infront of him, whilst he fire bullets at it, the bullets would fire backwards, hitting the enemy behind. Bullets may hit Magnus, the skill is semi-sacrificial*

"Gee, the guy didn't even give us his name.." Magnus proclaimed.
"Malice....his name was Malice." Faros said, rubbing his forehead, as if he was having a mental surge.
"How do you know that?" Magnus asked, whilst re-sheathng his sword.
"A voice spoke to me during the battle, it said: Protect them, protect Magnus and Malice, protect the close ones." Faros replied.

FMV: Magnus and Faros decide to head for this Bannor city. They walk off into the town, looking for shops to buy supplies.

Bannor..........

I rode my bike towards the meeting point and someone signalled me. It was a Bannor's soldier.

"The part is ready for inspection, ma'am" said the Private.

I hate it when they call me "Ma'am". It make me sound so old. I took a look at the...ahh.."part" which they called it generator or something.
What made them think I know anything about inspection of a electrical device that is so sophiscated and.....humongous. I am no technician nor an engineer.

"It couldn't get any worse. Let's get moving then" I said.

"Sorry Ma'am, we can only set off at dawn tommorrow cause the Mayor wanted to host a farewell ceremony for you tonight". replied the Private.

What a pain....

"Fine, Keep an eye on the part" I ordered.

"Yes!! Ma'am!! My eyes will be fixed on the part like I fix them on your boobs...I mean bike..."he exclaimed while his rifle dropped and he quickly picked it up.

I have a feeling he had been stuck as a private for a long long time without a promotion.....

The part is something to replace the old damaged parts of an ancient weapon which they found drifting in space. They said that they are going to use it to fight Morpheous. But this really doubt me.

I then hop onto my bike and....damn...it broke down again....

As Magnus and Faros walked into the bustling city of Bannor, they came accross a young lady,
"S'cuse me, you look like you could use a 'lil help there." Magnus offered his help, "I have my own motorcycle, but it sorta ran outta gas a while back."
Faros continued to look around the surroundings and then eventually turned to the young lady, he instantly turned into a blubberng mess,
"C...c.could i, uhhh, help in anyway, lady?" Faros stammered, he had seen no-one quite so pretty as this....

Do this guy had some food stuck in his mouth or what? What's up with the stammering?

"It will be nice if you can help me push my bike to the nearest gas station" I smiled.

That guy face turned red and immediately grabbed my bike and started pushing. Must have been eating heaty food as well....

The two of them introduced themselves as Faros and Magnus.

"So your name is Christmas? What a romantic name..." said Faros

I guess the food aren't stuck in his mouth anymore since the stammering stopped....

We reached the gas station and Magnus suggested that they should be leaving.

"So soon?" asked Faros.

"We need to meet up with...."you-know-who", right?" urged Magnus.

Something tell me these two are more than meet the eyes....

"Ahh...can..can I have...have your contact number?" asked Faros just as Magnus started to urge him again.

I gave him ONE of my contact number and he happily took off with Magnus.

I followed behind to see what they are up to...

As Magnus and Faros continued their search foe this "Mage", Magnus had this strange feeling,
"Faros, i think we're being followed.." Magnus whispered. as he looked over his shoulder to check, but saw nothing but the street behind him.
"By who? the girl?" Faros replied, "there's nothing bad in that you know."
"You goof, just 'cuz she gave you her number doesn't mean anything, you asked for it.." Magnus replied.
The two of them continued their search, in the city.
"There!!" Magnus shouted, pointing to a figure in an alleyway, looking out onto the road for something, as if it was waiting.
"Right, let's go see what this is all about." Faros commanded. The two walked over to the man...
"Are you the one who wanted to see us?" Magnus enquired.
"Wha..who are you?" the man replied.
"Sorry, wrong person...you look like someone we're trying to find." Faros responded.
Magnus looked around and caught a glimpse of the girl who they met with the motorbike. He pulled Faros down to his ear.
"Listen, i was right about that girl following us, now don't go all soft just cuz you like her, this could be a serious problem.." Magnus whispered.
"I hate it when girls turn bad..."Faros mumbled. Faros and Magnus continued around the block, and went down an alley way. They took a sudden turn and jumped onto a set of ladders to the low building roof.
"Look, there she is..." Magnus exclaimed, pointing to the woman crossing the street, trotting to the alleyway appearing to look for someone, possibly Faros and Magnus.
The girl walked right below where Faros and Magnus were crouched, so they jumped down, surprising the girl,
"Looking for someone?" Magnus asked.

"Oh ya, I was looking for you two." I smiled. Sometime I am just so impressed by my acting skills and reactions to a situation like that.

I can remain so calm and reply so naturally.......

"What do you want with us?" Magnus replied with an unconvincing look.

"I wanted to invite you two to my farewell ceremony tonight." I answered with the cutiest expression I can ever make.

"See, I know she isn't bad....." whispered Faros to Magnus.

"Sure, we will be there!!! So, where's the venue...?" asked Faros.

*FF X To Zanarkand theme plays*

"Sorry, if you will excuse me..." I apologized and picked up one of my phones. Ah, what luck. It is the mayor. Just when you need him.

"Hello, sir...yes sir and regarding the ceremony tonight...there are two suspicious characters will be there....." I whispered.

"No worry, I will gather some soldiers and hide among the crowds. Just signal them when you need their service." replied the Mayor.

" And it will be nice of you to check up some infomation about these two person... Faros Katamaa and Magnus Venitus" I asked.

" Consider it done and of course you will put in a few good words to your boss regarding the next mayor election won't you?" the Mayor grinned.

"Ya sure..." with that, I hang up. God-damned politician....

"Sorry for the wait, why not follow me now if you are free, I will show you the venue." I asked with a smile on my face.

I have a hunch that these two must have some juicy background....

(i'm back, but not to sure for how long. thanks SB. you did good, i now know you're trustworthy with this, i have no qualms with leaving.)

A man comes up behind the girl. He stands behind her for several minutes. The girl turns around swiftly to find nothing.

Malice: "You seem to have a crush, don't you?"

Girl:love: : "Who are you?"

Malice: "I can either be your friend, or your worst enemy. The way you answer this question will determine that."

Girl: "okay, i guess i'll play your game, on one condition. You take your hood off."

Man from behind: "I don't think that will happen."

Girl: "And who the hell are you?"

Deadpool: "well, that man you're talking to, works for me. and he takes his hood off for no one."

Girl: "who's that behind you?"

Deadpool: "This one is named Mephisto. He doesn't talk much. And the one behind you is Drake as you might know him."

the girl slowly turns around to find Malice smiling, bearing his fangs.

Malice: "do not be afraid. i can be a great ally. i do not wish to fight you or kill you in any way."

Girl: "okay, this question. what is it?"

Malice: "would you die to protect your friends or family? you don't have the choice to save them both?"

" I have no friends nor family, so I need not choose any of these." I answered. And I know that "Drake" guy in one of the wanted lists.

"Nice meeting you people, if you want, you can go attend the farewell ceremony as well. Sorry but I have to get back to my bike. If you will excuse me..." I smiled as I walked past them.

That "Drake" fellow gave me a death stare. I ignored him and continued walking back to where my bike.

"Right sir, make it five instead of two....and send in more soldiers." I requested to the Mayor through the phone when I am out of their sight. Just my luck to meet five instead of two weirdos today.

I hop onto my bike and sped off.

"Great, she shows us where we're going, and speeds off....typical woman." Magnus exclaimed. Faros and Magnus turned to the three guys the woman was talking to.
"Hey you're that guy from the town earlier..we didn't catch your name, and who are you other guys?" Faros asked, dumbfounded.

Malice: "My name is Malice. This is my master, Deadpool. And this one is Mephisto. We are known as the Triad. We protect this and other small towns surrounding the area. And who might you be?"

Deadpool: "Actually, i don't care. We're not here to make friends. And that little girl......Malice, what do you make of her?"

Malice: "She did answer my question...........but rest assured, she did not answer it correctly. I will make my decision later. Right now, i want to see what this Ceremony is all about. Shall we?"

CHRISTMAS

"So, this Magnus person was once in the Millitary....and you have no idea of the other four?" I asked the Mayor.

"My infomation is pretty limited, my girl." the Mayor smiled

"You are holding info back,sir." I replied

"You have no right to question me, my girl, if you will excuse me." the Mayor stood up and left his office.

I sulked and left the office as well.

I rode my bike to the town square where the ceremony is held. I reckon they will be able to find their way to the town square on their own.

FMV-people gathering and looking around, again the noise is unbelievably loud and happy. We find Deadpool, Magnus, Faros, Mephisto and Malice all standing there. Looking at one another. Deadpool starts pushing people out of the way and making his way to the front.-End FMV

Deadpool: "Well, i see that this is going to be a very interesting ceremony."

Mephisto (in a very low voice): "Yes master, i can tell you are not going to pay attention to this one either are you?"

Malice and Deadpool: "hell no!!"


Deadpool and malice look at eachother. Faros and Magnus look at them and just shake their heads.

People start shushing everyone as the mayor approaches the stage.

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen. Today we held this simple and yet memorable ceremony to bid farewell to our special guest, who is going to be on her way to transport an important "object" to contirbute to the downfall fo Morpheous." the Mayor addressed the crowd.

"So,where is she now?" whispered the Mayor to one of his escorts standing beside him.

"ghahayaya.....she...will...be...here.... soon...ghayayaya..." replied the escort

".......Just what is wrong with you...?" asked the puzzled Mayor.

Just then, the Mayor noticed that those people that followed him on stage are faces he never saw before unlike his usual escorts.

"Are these people new? I sworn I told them not to hire weirdos as my escorts. I will fire them the first thing after this ceremony." the Mayor mumbled to himself.

"Before we welcomed her, I will like to stress the importance of her contribution to the security of this town especially the pub________"

"He is trying to drag his speech" whispered Malice to Deadpool.

PS: Since I have some time in hand, I guess I will upload a image of my character done by paint. Paint isn't that bad you know.

"What the hell is going on?" Magnus asked furiously. Faros gets a sudden mind flash;
*He sees the escort guards as demons, they take out their blades and kill the Mayor, then they run rampage on the crowd*
"Wait here." Faros commands to the others, whilst he sneaks off, round to behind the stage. The stage was like a rasied podium, so Faros could not be seen behind it. He grabbed one of the escorts and dragged him to the floor, the other guard hadn't noticed. Faros questioned the escort he had,
"I know what you are, what do you want here on this planet?" He asked intensively. The guard replied,
"Gyaa...we.....need....s..s...ssouls....y yyaa.."
Faros places his right foot on the throat of the guard, whilst screwing a silencer onto one of his Magnums.
"Go back to where you came from.....hell." Faros said sarcstically.
*PPSSHH* Faros shot the guard n the head, an instant kill.
Faros went behind the second escort and did exactly the same again. He sneaked back into the crowd to find Magnus, Mephisto, Malice and Deadpool.
"Those guards were not guards, they were hunters...demons, there may be more, this may be the ideal time to seek them all and destroy them, using stealth and the ceremony as cover and distraction." Faros explained...

(If it is a fight, count my char in. She is still stuck at level 2 and we awaits the game master's approval to get the ball rolling :D )

CHRISTMAS

I rode my bike towards the town square and stopped where the crowd gathered.

I quietly mixed into the crowd and saw the Mayor giving his speech and those escorts of his really look like some freaks from some asylum.

"Miss Christmas, we awaits your command" came a voice.

I turned around and noticed a guy with a well built figure dressed in simple civilian's clothing.

I reckon he must be one of the soldiers the Mayor deloyed.

Before I can said anything, something grabbed my hand.

"M....Miss....Christ...Christmas....We... Gyahhahayaya...awaits.....your..." It was a really weird looking guy and he kept holding onto my hand refusing to let go.

"He's with you? Tell him to let go or I will charge him with sexual harassment after ripping his hand off." I demanded the soldier with the well built figure..

"Hey you...What's your name and rank? And let go of Miss Christmas' hand now." ordered the soldier.

"We...we...awaits....awaits...your...your ..d...DEATH..Gyayayahaha" grinned the freak.

I have a feeling hell is gonna break loose soon.........

Battle theme begins. Four Demons appear on the battle field and begin to jump around like mexican jumping beans. or things that jump alot.

people begin screaming and running like crazy.

Deadpool: "What the hell is going on? Where's everyone going?"

Malice: "Must be dollar beer at the pub."

Everyone starts to laugh.

Mephisto: "LOOK!!!"

bodies start flying around and people scream even louder. Malice, Deadpool, Magnus, and Faros pull out their weapons.

Faros looks over at Mephisto and notices he is just standing there not prepared for battle at all.

Noticing the situation around me, I knew hell had broken loose.

I tried to walk forward but was stopped by this freak that is still holding onto my hand.

"Alright. EVERYONE...." I was cut off ......

"EVERY UNDERCOVER BANNOR SOLDIERS LISTEN UP!!!!! PROTECT AND ESCORT ME SAFELY BACK TO MY OFFICE OR NO SALARY FOR YOU ALL THIS MONTH....AND NOT TO FORGET NEXT MONTH TOO!!!!" yelled the Mayor from the stage who was bursting out with cold sweat and his feets trembling with fear.

The undercover Bannor soldiers immediately surrounded the Mayor and started bringing him to safety. I noticed that he wet his pant as well....

"Oh great, all he think of is himself...." I mumbled as I watched as those demons contiuned to run rampage and the freak who is still holding onto my hand drooling....

I lifted him up with my hand and as I spin my whole body by 360 degree before tossing the freak off to the stage.

I drew my sword and got into action.

"Mephisto! what are you doing?!" Faros called, confused by Mephisto's strange battle tactics. Mephisto still stands still,
"Well, i hope you know what you're doing.." Faros mumbled.
"I assure you i do..." a voice entered into Faros' mind.
"So, you're psychic too?..." Faros wondered.

Faros drew his two Custom Desert Eagles, leapt into the air and over the demons, he flipped 180 degrees so he was upside down, he aimed his guns and fired at the demons killing them with single shot kills.
Magnus drew his sword and Magnum, he flicked his sword so it spun vertically in the air, like a windmill, and he fired his gun at the blade, richocheting bullets into enemies all round.

I stopped moving when I notice one of the demon had already locked me as it's target. We stared at each other for a moment

Suddenly it leaped forward and I use my sword as a shield and it's teeth chewed onto my blade instead of me. I spin my body and tossed it off towards a lamp post.

Instead of crashing onto the lamp post, it uses the lamp post as a stepping platform and leaped back at me and this time, it had it's evil looking claws ready.

Without thinking twice, I used my sword to deflect it's claw slash attack as the demon went into a frenzy and continue slashing mercilessly at me.

Unable to get the better advantage, I rolled backward and struck my sword onto the ground. Seeing me retreating, the demon pursued me for my blood.

I jumped onto my sword and stood on the pommel. As the demon came pounding at me, I triggered my the mechansim inside my sword and spilt it apart. With haste, I took one of my blade and jumped high up into the air just in time before the demon's claws reaches my face.

I gather all my strength and focus my sight at the demon before tossing the whole blade towards it as the spinning blade went straight into it's body.

(well, unknown, a lot of drama for one kill. too bad he hit you. you might've made it out without a scratch. and in case you guys were wondering, my avatar is Deadpool, just to let you know)

Mephisto, still standing there while everyone jumps around and is killing demons, begins to raise up off of the ground. the earth beneath everyone begins to shake. everyone stops where they are standing as the ground opens up and a small blue dragon begins to crawl out of the hole in the ground.

Demon: "what.................gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

in a puff of smoke, the demon and those around him were gone. the dragon, now fully emerged, slashing and killing almost anything it touches. Mephisto, floating and clenching every muscle in his body, looks as if he is in great pain. Magnus looks at him, he began to bleed from his eyes. Magnus looks back at Deadpool and Malice, both just tearing everything they can get their hands on.

"What the hell..?" Magnus wondered,
"What's he doing?!" He shouted over to Malice and Deadpool. he got no reply, they were concentrating on killing.
"S'pose i better concentrate on what i'm doing..." He muttered. He regained control of his sword and put his gun away. Two demon lept for Magnus, he turned 180 degrees, backflipped and completed a double stabbing, impaling both demons on his sword like a kebab..
"How many of these things are there?" Magnus wondered,
"Hey Faros! cover me!" Magnus shouted to Faros who was only a couple of yards away. Magnus just ran into a horde of demons, with his blade horizontal infront of him, slashing and killing, with Faros firing at any dangerous targets.

(Well, I am just level 2, you can't expect me to be good, right? :D )

"Where did that blue lizard came from...." I mumbled to myself.

I took my blade back and attached it back to its original form. I held it onto my hand and ran forward to where the action is. Just then a demon leaped out of nowhere when I take a swift turn and dodged it while counterattacking it with a big mightly slash on the head.

Another one emerged and thrust it claw at me while I hack it's hand with my sword until my injuries couldn't take the strain.

I started to retreat while drawing out my gun firing at it until another one leaped forward and pounded me onto the ground.

I try to retaliate with my gun but it was knocked off from my hand by the demon before I can pull the trigger.

"Oh rats....I'm done for...." I thought to myself....

(i wonder why shoden never jumped in. oh well, i guess we can do this with three people. if you guys have anyone else you want to put in than go for it. we need to expand this a little bit more so we can draw some eyes. have fun with it.)

Battle FMV-as christmas walks back firing uncontrollably into the closing horde of demons, a blinding light flashes and the demons fall to the ground in pieces. christmas looks over to see Deadpool down on the ground, bleeding and just looking like hell, swords parallel to his body. blood drips off his blades as he stands up._end FMV

Deadpool: "you need to be more careful, kid. you're going to end up getting hurt. you can't afford to be out here like this. granted you're really cute, but that won't get you anywhere."

at that point in time, a group of demons jumps him and begins to tear him apart (not literally, you get the idea.)

Malice, being surrounded, begins to call for help. The dragon runs into the crowd and in a spray of blood they're gone. The dragon crawls back into the ground. Mephisto falls to the ground, not moving. Malice colapses. Christmas and Deadpool finish up with the group that jumped him. Deadpool now lays prostrate on the ground, not moving.


(at this point, Faros and Magnus have completed their part of the battle. SB, you can fill it in if you wish, but it doesn't matter how you do it, the exp won't change.)

CHRISTMAS

I slowly picked myself up and looked at the pile of mess around me....

I noticed the guy that defended me lying prostrate on the ground. This is the first time someone actually risk his life for me. Well, I never thought anything like this will happen...

*FF VII JENOVA theme play*

I picked up one of my phone....It was the Mayor.

"Okay!! Okay!!!I will be honest with you!!!! That Deadpool guy once worked for Morpheous. I dun know if he is still doing it now but it doesn't matter cause if he is captured, a reward will be promised. "the Mayor cried.

"So you intended to keep the reward to yourself? But he worked for Morpheous before, doesn't mean he is still doing it now." I replied.

"Like I said WHO CARES. We will "interrogate" him and make him spilt everything about Morpheous and sell the info to your boss. This is the main point. But I decided that we will cooperate with each other, what do you say?" asked the Mayor.

"What about the person...Uhhhh.... Faros?" I replied with a soft voice.

"I really have no idea." answered the Mayor.

"To hell with you" with that, I hang up the phone.

I looked at that Deadpool fellow and wonder if I should take the chance to nab him for myself.

I pondered and struggled upon making this decision. I never felt this way before. I noticed blood flowing down from my cheeks, these aren't my blood, but his....I closed my eyes to prevent my tears from getting out and turned my back at Deadpool.

I walked towards my bike when my phone rang again...That Mayor again..

"How about you get 70% while I take 30% of the reward and......" I hang up and threw the phone away.

Everyone lay on the ground, dead bodies all around. Malice, Magnus, and Faros being the only ones able to stand up. The bodies of the demons get up and being to walk around.

Malice: "They are walking shells. Their souls have been taken from them. Be on your guard, with no soul, they will be harder to kill."

The bodies began to disipate one by one. Shattering and dusting into the wind. People come out from behind doors, buildings, crates, and barrles. All begin to applause. people run over to the downed and begin to take them into the hospital.

I finished tying up the bandage for my wounds just as I hear the crowd cheering ringing in the air.

I rode my bike to check on the generator only to find it missing.

"Oh, Miss Christmas, the Mayor ordered the part to be transported without you. He said you need rest." said the private.

Puzzled, I rode my bike to see if I can catch up with the transportation team.

*FF VII Battle Theme Ring*

I picked up one of my phones...It's him again.

"Not you again, just what do you want" I asked

"So, One last chance, are you going to help me or not?" asked the Mayor

"No and never" I answered.

"So be it. Nice knowing you" with that, the Mayor hang up.

Four bikers appeared out of the sudden from a road junction. One of them rammed his bike onto mine almost causing me to lose my balance.

I gripped firm to the handlebars and make a quick turn to evade another attack.

I accelerated my bike to full speed as the engine noise began roaring on the roads of Bannor with those four following closely behind.

"Ughh...how the hell did we make it out of that one, Faros..??" Magnus asked Faors, on one knee trying to stand up.
"Because...we're...not like them....we're survivors.." Faros began, but Magnus cut him off,
"I know....don't say anymore, there are too many innocent minds here.." Magnus repled.
The two of them walked over to Malice, who was barely able to stand, but he did, nevertheless.
"Where are Deadpool and Mephisto?" Faros asked, looking around, searching for them....

Malice, barely able to hold his own head up, looks at Faros with blood in his eyes. he wipes his brow. "We need to find Mephisot firts, deadpool has an uncanny way of healing himself. Mephisto is the one who summoned that dragon, and everytime he does it, it almost kills him. that dragon is an extension of his life force. it drains his life when summoned. and if he doesn't stop it in time, it will kill him. he's the one i'm worried about right now."

Malice staggers across the blood ridden battlefield that was once a commons area.

Name: Leon Gensle
Age: 26
Type: Dark Swordsman/Gunner
Weapons: Average sized Gunblade and a shotgun
Occupation: Mercenary/ Former Rebel Leader
Bio: A fighter taught to fight his entire life by his father. His father was kill during an attack by Morpheus. He vowed revenge and began a rebel group to combat the mage. Sadly, the rebels were quickly slaughtered, leaving Leon as the sole survivor, though now blind in his left eye. He now wanders the world in search of work and pay, but still wishes to destroy the man you took his father.

CHRISTMAS

Unable to shake those four off, I decided to use the more violent way, but they beat me to it.

They started drawing their guns and started firing in the middle of the road cutting across a crowded street where traffic is pretty heavy.

Every drivers began to brake suddenly upon hearing the gunshots and there was a totally chaos on the road as vehicles started raming onto each other.

I jerked my bike upon a car that was happen to be blocking my way and jump past over it and landed beside a truck which was quickly become target boards for their guns.

I make a swift turn with my bike and went through the gaps in between those vehicles while they became my shield for bullets.

I noticed one of the bikers lost balance and ram onto a car which is happen to be in the way and got throw to the ground while the other three carried on without him.

welcome Turk, glad you could join us. and christams really has a knack for getting in trouble. oh well, i'll leave it at that, don't have much time today.

"Mephisto..he's gotta be here somewhere.." Magnus commented. Faros, Magnus and Malice began staggering around, on the search for Mephisto. Faros suddenly saw a body rising from the ground, he wiped his eyes of blood and looked again,
"There..it's...Deadpool....." He managed to mutter. Magnus and Malice joined Faros again and walked over to Deadpool.
"Mephisto is still lost.." Magnus said to Deadpool. Faros suddenly got a flash in his mind, as he did when Mephisto summoned that dragon, he heard a voice; *You..will..find..me..in the...shadows,..the void...of light* then Faros saw a pile of barrels..
"Over there! Mephisto... is in that.. corner" Faros exclaimed. The four of them ran over to the stack of barrels, to find Mephisto's body, beaten and broken.
"Anyone know healing magic?" Magnus asked.

(Hmm.....are you finding my post annoying or something...? :kaobeg2:)

CHRISTMAS

As hell break loose on the roads, I manage to avoid any accident by carefully manoeuvring of my bike while dodging the bullets.

Just then, I notice the road infront of me is totally block by a bunch of vehicles which had rammed onto each other and stopped there waiting for help.

Without any time to consider, I took one decisive left turn and found myself off the road and my bike run ramapage among the crowds that gathered at the side of the road to see what happened.

People were screaming and running blocking my view making unable to proceed further.

I turned my head back and those three were right on my my heels.

I decided to take the chance and rode my bike cutting through the crowds that were scattering all over the place as I took another turn and go straight through the glass panels of a shopping mall.

Unfortunately, those three is very persistent and is following closely behind.

I turned my handlebar and charged forward into the hall of the shopping mall as shoppers were all shocked at the sight of me.

I continued accelerating until I notice a kid crying right in front of me and I am heading straight for him.

I tried to take a turn but the crowd is blocking the way. With no choice left, I used the emergency brake as my bike barely squeak through the kid.

I fell onto the ground as my bike toppled and went straight into a shop causing major damage.

(unknowns, i don't mind your posts. i just think it's funny how you have this knack for getting into trouble at every turn. is there going to be a point in the game where you actually stay with the group so the game can move on? just wondering.)

Christmas

A man jumped out and stood in front of the on coming forces advancing to strike in and kill. He pulled out a thick sword (picture the Buster Sword) and with one clean swipe all but a few were demolished and he was gone. a slip of paper fell on the ground next to her. she picked it up and it read as follows:

"we have met before, we will meet again. you know me, but you don't want to. we grew up together. but you never noticed me. you shined in what you did, but now it is my turn. until we meet again.

Signed
Morpheus"

(now, this character has not learned of Mopheus just yet. she has heard of him but she doesn't know exactly what his importance to everyone is.)

She stood up to face the remaining thugs, now that they're dazed and confused about what happened.

~~~Bannor~~~
Deadpool, Magnus, Faros, and Malice all bent over to pick up Mephisto to find an emense heat emitting from his battered and bloody body.

Malice: "I think this time he really over did it. He looks lifeless. I am not a white mage, he is the true mage of the two of us. Deadpool, you can heal your self, can you heal him?"

Deadpool dropped his head in shame. "Yes i can. but that's if i can touch him. He is pulling too much heat and i can't even stand close to him, let alone touch him."

Faros grabbed a bucket of water and dumped it on him. They all stared in awe as the water evaporated before it even touched him.

Malice: "That's a good idea, let's pour as much water on him as possible. hopefully that will put out some of this heat."

They went at this for a few minutes to notice they weren't getting anywhere. Faros and Malice both walked away in anger and disappointment. Deadpool, feeling the pain of his friends loss began to flip out and start off in a frenzy, destroying almost anything in his path until he collapsed. Still not strong enough from the long battle. Magnus is the only one left there to help him. Magnus hears a voice in his head, weak and desparate. *don't be afraid of the heat, please help me. i shall not hurt you if you promise to keep me safe*

(Actually, I am also waiting for you to post something that we can all move on. But you can move on first, I will catch up later with the group.:) )

CHRISTMAS

I put the slip of paper inside my pocket.

Upon seeing his buddies fall, the remaining thug quickly took off.

"Must be some imposter thinking he is cool by pretending to be Morpheus....but he is someone that know me when I am a kid..???"

Just when I was begining think about my past, a phone rang. It was from one of the thugs lying on the floor. I picked it up and heard a familiar voice.

" Hey, is she dead yet?" asked the Mayor.

"No, she is alive and kicking" I answered.

"Why you.....Never mind, but as long as you are still in Bannor, all of you are at my mercy!!" exclaimed the Mayor.

" What do you mean?" I asked.

" I will deployed soldiers to seal all exits of Bannor and I can declare "Code Red" thanks to the damage you brought to Bannor." the Mayor replied in a wicked tone.

I quickly hang up and cast some healing spells on myself. With my bike still in the condition to move, I hop onto it, and dashed out of the shopping mall.

Just when I pass by a huge projector screen attached to a building, The Mayor face appeared on the screen.

"Citizens of Bannor, we are currently under the threat from minions of Morpheus. They had summoned monsters at the town square causing ramapage during the ceremony and create disorder in the city.

We must not tolerate such act of insolently and live with such atrocious memories in our heart.

The culprit, unfortunately after much intense and precise investigation, is our beloved Miss Christmas and her accomplices.

*Flashes Image of Deadpool, Malice, Magnus, Faros and Mephisto*

I hereby declare "CODE RED" for the whole city. All citizens are to remain in their houses while soldiers will be dispatched to the streets and neutralize the threat.

No one except authorized personnel is to appear out in the open, or they will be deemed as a threat and treated as such.

I appreciate your full cooperation and rest assume, they will be brought to justice."

With that, everyone started running back home as I sped towards the nearest exit of Bannor before it get sealed.

Magnus looked almost blank, as in a trance. He walked up to Mephisto, picked him up, and walked over to the pond. The others just stopped what they were doing and watched Magnus,
"What the...." Faros wondered.
Magnus placed Mephisto into the pond, he floated on the surface as steam rose from his body. Eventually, Mephisto had cooled down enough for Deadpool to heal him.
Magnus returned to his normal state as the healing process was completed. The others stood back, still in awe at what Magnus did.
"What are you? fireproof?" Faros asked Magnus, totally confounded.
"No, i just didn't fear the heat. If you show no fear, then you feel no pain..."Magnus replied.
Suddenly, Mephisto started to wake up. Faros went over and pulled him out of the pond.

CHRISTMAS

I managed to reach one of the exits before the soldiers arrive. Suddenly, something struck me. I turned back and head back to the hotel where I stayed.

I quickly went to my room and headed to my bed

The stuffed doll remain intact there.

I took it and left the hotel with haste.

It was a blue stuffed doll with two swirly eyes and an antenna growing on his head. They called it "PuPu"

I will never leave it behind wherever I go. It just seems very important to me, as for why, I couldn't explain.

I remember someone gave it to me when I was a kid. It had being with me ever since.

Magnus put Mephisto down on the ground as his eyes began to open. Deadpool had already begun to heal everyone else. Mephisto slowly stood up. He reached for his blade as 5 or 6 soldiers came around the corner. In one quick strafe, Magnus mowed them all down with his SMG. They all got up and began to leave. Watching as people ran from them and closed their doors behind them. Malice looked at the others and walked off in his own direction.

Deadpool: "Malice, get back here."

Malice (still walking): "Deadpool, i can handle this on my own, I will find you, don't worry."

The rest of the group turned to keep walking. About 5 minutes or so later they heard screaming and explosions. Malice came running by them with blinding speed

Malice: "RUN, THEY'RE TRYING TO KILL US!!!"

"The hell is going on?!" Magnus shouted, trying to keep up.
"Just keep running..." Faros replied. Another explosion went off, just by the pond where they had just been.
"Malice! who is it? who is doing this?!" Faros shouted up to Malice.
A voice entered Faros' head;
*You should know, you come from the shadows*
Faros shook his head,
"I don't remember back then..." he muttered to himself.
All of them kept running to the edge of the city.
"What do we do now? If we go to any other large city, we're going to be recognised." Magnus suggested.

CHRISTMAS

I made it back to the previous exit but was forced to retreat when soldiers started spraying bullets at me. Noticing soldiers at every corner I turned and gunshots along with explosions can be heard everywhere, I realized my hope of escaping is slim.

Feeling despair, I opened the secret compartment of my bike and took out my"final weapon" and tie it to my waist.

I lifted up my head and look at the sky one last time before heading straight to the Mayor's office.

Upon reaching, I put my doll in the secret compartment where my "final weapon" used to be and got off my bike.

Within a blink of eye, I was surrounded by soldiers and the Mayor appeared with an evil grin on his face.

"SO YOU DID APPEAR. I know you will come and try to kidnap me and use me in exchange for your own skin, NICE TRY! GYAHAHAHA!!" laughed the Mayor.

"Let's see who have the last laugh." I replied as I took off my trenchcoat and reveal my "final weapon".

"Ha, a strip show for us as your last....WHAT THE!!!!" cried the Mayor as he dropped to the ground with his feets trembling.

All the soldiers were shocked and quickly took a step backward leaving behind me and the stunned Mayor in the middle of the encirclement.

I had a time bomb tied onto my waist.

(please don't tell me you're killing christmas off)

The five new friends ran through all of the road block, through all of the guards and through all of the rising civilians trying to attack them. Malice and Faros lead the charge with the others closely behind. bodies feel in their wake. They had escaped the town only to find that they didn't have anywhere to go. So they decided to head to the smallest town in the area, Skindred. A small town, not really clean or known for much. A town built mainly by bandits, murderers and criminals of all sorts. The story begins to unfold as they find out more about Deadpool's and Malice's past and their connection to eachother.

Faros and Magnus go their separate way from the group to the local pub. They start asking around and find a man who seems to know alot about everyone who has come through the town at one point.
Informant: "Yeah, he came through here (pointing to Deadpool) about two years ago, looking for some special sword or something like that. Do you know if he ever found it? He went to the mayor of this town, Malice i think was his name, and took him out of here by force. it was a big ordeal." He went on to tell them about Deadpool and Malice (this is where you would be glad to read my character bios.)

Faros and Magnus looked at eachother in disbelief. How could they have gotten mixed up in this whole mess. But one question still lingered in the back of their minds, where does Mephisto come into the picture?

CHRISTMAS

With everyone too scared to make any move, I grabbed the Mayor and toss him onto my bike. I picked up my trenchcoat put it on.

"Dun ever think of following us" I pointed at the soldiers and they obeyed.

The Mayor was still in a state of daze and was too scared to say anything.

I manage to get past every road blocks easily with the Mayor as my hostage and make it out of the city without a scratch.

"Pl...PLEASE SPARE....SPARE ME!!!!" pleaded the Mayor after we are out in the open far from Bannor.

"I make sure you will be removed from office after I report this little incident" I warned him as I hop onto my bike and sped off. Leaving the Mayor there crying.

I took the time bomb off and put it back to the secret compartment. I realized I was sweating profusely as I do that.

I give my doll a hug and contiuned on hoping to catch up with the transportation team that left long ago.

Faros and Magnus brought a drink each from the bar. As they stood at the bar, they talked,
"So, we've got the connection of Malice and Deadpool, but where does Mephisto come in?" Magnus asked,
"I don't know, but he has powers beyond there's. I can feel it when i'm near him." Faros repied.
"You should know, you're apart of the shadows, the guardian of hell itself...i wonder if he has a similar task, but what the hell was that dragon?" Magnus continued.
"That dragon...i have seen it before, but i don't know what it is or it's origins. It comes from the Hellmouth itself. It's legendary, as you summon it, it drains your life for it's own. Mephisto went a little overboard and overheated himself, leaving himself with little life left. I get the feeling he doesn't quite know how to control it yet." Faros answered. They both continued their conversation, the wondered where the three had gone.

"Right, where next? We have to continue this Demon hunt, right? Magnus asked,
"Of course, i'm not here for anything otherwise.." Faros answered.

(real quick, i'm going to level up everyone. Magnus, Faros, And Malice are now a level 4. Deadpool, Mephisto, and Christmas are Level 3. Put in special abilities now, nothing to spectacular.)

okay, i'm going to take control of Christmas' situation here for a second.

You are rolling through the forest attempting to get as far away from town as you can. You hear a voice in your head, it's familiar but you can't put a name or face to it.

Voice: I am following you, you can't see me can you?

Suddenly, a face appears in front of you and disappears almost immidiatley, causing you to crash. The mayor is now out cold. You hear rustiling in the trees surrounding you. Leaves fall from the tree above you. You look up and are blinded by a bright light, someone knocks you unconscience.

~~~Skindred~~~
FMV-Faros and Magnus are in the bar still, Deadpool is outside of town (unknown to the rest of the group) being jumped and beaten by a group of muggers. Malice is talking to a few of his older friends and Mephisto is walking through town, still weak from his mishap, while people are giving him dirty looks and throwing things at him.-end FMV

Mephisto thinking to himself: "If i wanted i could tear these insignificant humans apart. why do they feel the need to treat me as though i have done something to disrupt their lives?"

Man (running up to mephisto): "YOU.............You should not have returned here. You have brought much destruction upon our poor village, we have nothing left to give you. Please spare us and leave us alone. WE have the means to destroy you now. And YOU can't hurt us anymore. Now leave us you rechid demon being."

Mephisto grabs the man and asks his what he means. we come to find out that Mephisto, or someone who looks like him, burned this town to the ground many years ago, long before our heros ever met up.

~~~Deadpool~~~
Men stand around his body as they take turns kicking him. his blades lay on the outside of the group. Bloody and battered, Deadpool falls to his knees. In a desparate attempt to survive this should be trifling execution of thievery, he begins to chant. His body begins to emit a very light grey mist. The ground begins to shake. The men surrounding him begin to look around in fear. Deadpool stands up and his swords fly to his hands. The Ragnarok splits into a twin blade and drops to the ground. It begins to spin with a great velocity. The ground underneathe the men falls out from under them. They fall in and a few of them are lucky enough to grab the edge. Deadpool walks up to one of them.

Man: "Who the hell are you? You're not natural."

Deadpool (sounds as tho three voices are coming from him): "I am your final nightmare." He slashes and the man falls to his death to join his comrades. (did any of that make sense?)

That's about it for me right now. SB or Unknowns, if you wanna say what happens to Malice go ahead. I was going to have him meet up with Faros and Magnus, but just ran out of time.

(for your information, Mephisto doesn't ever show his face. He hides under a mages cloak, it is black with red trim. he usually doesn't seem to be walking but more floating on a cloud of red mist. just for your information)

"Hey, what's happening outside?" Magnus asked, a few screams could be heard, but no-one took notice.
"What is it, Magnus?" Faros asked. Magnus turned to him in disbelief.
"You don't hear it?" Magnus asked, surprised, "...it's gone...nevermind."
They both walked outside, only to find Malice walking past.
"Malice...how are you feeling?" Faros asked, holding back all the questions running through his mind.

(okay, i'm back at the internet center so now i have alot of time)

Malice looked at Faros and Magnus. He's pale and his eyes are red. (not bloodshot, just glowing red)

Malice (in an almost demonic voice): "They're coming for us. We need to leave."

Faros looked at Malice, than at Magnus. Magnus already had his hand on his magnum. Magnus then lifted up off the ground and disappeared.

Malice (now looking completely different. brown hair instead of blonde, his cat like features diminishing and his eyes now more blood colored than a normal red.): "Come Faros, your time has come. We have been waiting for you."

Faros lifts up off the ground and disappears.

~~~Cave, unknown area~~~

FMV-Faros falls to the ground. Magnus helps pick him up. They look around and notice a lit cavern that trails off. They look at eachother and grab their weapons. They start off down the cavern.-End FMV

Voices can be heard through out the cave. One enters their heads

Voice: "Do not be afraid, put your weapons down and join us for a drink."

CHRISTMAS

"Look at our little girl here, she is just so cute and smart too." came a voice.

"Ya, someone of OUR STATUS should have a child like this." came another voice.

"Remember girl, you are our glory. You are to exceed in every single little things you do to be compatible with people of OUR STATUS."

"And who cares if we just adopted her?"

I will never forget those two voices. Those were the voices of my god-damned parents who adopted me.

They were the richest couple in the town which I lived in. They were smug,arrogant, always full of themselves and deemed the other townfolks as low-life peasants.

I alway outshine the other kids with my results and my looks which my adoptive parents like to brag about.

Other people and kids always looked up to me as how bright I am, and how cute....etc. Their praise will never ends but nothing get into my ears. Cause I'm just a beautifully dressed doll put on a shelf for people to admire. A doll that need not any feelings nor love.

Needlessly to say, I have no friends during my childhood. But I remember there is this little boy...

*FMV of a little boy with his back turned at Chirstmas. Just when he is about to turn over...FMV ends*

*FF VIII Eyes on Me theme played*

I was awaken by the ringing tune of one of my phones. I looked around and find myself in the middle of nowhere with my bike beside me.

I quickly went to take a look at my doll and was glad that it was still intact.

I picked up my phone and responded.

(just to let you know, christmas is still in a room surrounded by the people in her dream)
Christmas

Chris: "Hello?"

Voice: "Are you okay?"

Chris: "Yeah, i think so. who is this."

Voice: "Don't worry, you will find out soon enough. I will be arriving shortly."

Hangs up

Chris: "HEY, HELLO?!?!?, DAMMIT."

Man: "Hey, she speaks but not to us. are WE not good enough for you?"

Woman: "Don't worry, OUR boss will be here soon AnD he wILL DeaL WitH YOU!!!! I pRomiSe ThaT."

FMV-A man in a dark cloak walks slowly into the room. He seems to have glowing eyes, red. a very bright and very distinct red color. he seems to have no face. He walks over to the little boy, bends down and the little boy runs away laughing-End FMV

Man in cloak (a very deep voice): "So, miss christmas. i'm so glad that we finally have the chance to meet after so long. i have been watching you. you fight well. but you seem to run from every battle when it is either over or when the going gets rough. the little move you did with the mayor of Bannor was a good move but it might have cost you your life. show her!!!"

A big door opens and it shows the mayor on an execution table. He looks up at Christmas and screams something. his mouth is covered so she couldn't understand him.

Man in cloak: "now then, you have two choices. choice 1, and choice 2. what will it be, christmas. choose now or hold your head in your own hands."

CHRISTMAS

I looked at the cloaked man and asked " Just what is this "choice 1" and "choice 2"? At least tell me what they are."

The man looked at her. His eyes began to glow even darker and more bright.

Man in cloak: "You do NOT tell me what to do. These choices are all you get and it is MY choice if i tell you or not. Now choose or i shall choose for you. Choice 1 or choice 2. Choose now or i shall kill you both. Miss Christmas, you do not have the smallest inkling of what i can do. Do not ask me another question or i shall kill you."

(unknowns, in case you haven't already guess, it is Morpheus. so becareful what you say because i have a way this will go in my head. don't worry, i won't kill you off unless you leave me no other choice. sorry to say it but right now, he could spit on you and you'd die.)

CHRISTMAS

"K, Choice 2 then"

EDIT: we have met before, we will meet again. you know me, but you don't want to. we grew up together. but you never noticed me. you shined in what you did, but now it is my turn. until we meet again.

You know, I have a general idea of how Morpheus and Christmas is related after seeing this line, but it turn out to be completely different after seeing the later posts. Pardon me but I am pretty confused. :kaodizzy:

Faros and Magnus continued down the dark cave hall. They could see the colours of a fire glowing at the end of the tunnel. The voice entered their heads again;
*Please, feel welcome, we mean you no harm, down your weapons*
Faros and Magnus looked at each other,
"Well, we'll re-sheath them, but not down them...it's too risky." Magnus suggested.
"Agreed." Faros replied. They both continued towards the end of the tunnel to find a room, brightly lit by a fire in the middle of the room.

(unknowns, you might have been right about how christmas and morpheus are related in a way. but at the same time, you have to think that this is a role playing game. by the choices your character makes plays out how you find information.)

Christmas

The man looked at her. She saw his eyes turn almost blood red. His eyes were getting darker. He began to laugh this bone chilling laugh. A laugh that would end the world.

Man in cloak: "Choice 2........Calypso, you heard her. You know what to do."

The man that originally was laughing at Chris began to jump up and down laughing hysterically. The mayor was then lifted up into the air.

Man in cloak: "Well Christmas, it seems you get your wish after all. You were lucky enough to have brought the man i wanted. Kill him."

Calypso then began to spin. as he picked up speed, a white gleam of light came from his body, it was a thin line coming directly out of his body. the mayor was pulled in and his body torn to shreds. his screams filled the ears of those around him.

Calypso (panting and giggling): "Can i kill her now, master Morpheus?"

The man looked at Christmas, "now you know who i am. yes, i am morpheus. the mage your friends have set out to destroy. but i will not kill you. i will send you back to them, battered and broken. you will not remember where you are. and you will not remember my face."

He removed his cloak to reveal a young, cat like being. scars riddled his body. he grabbed her, said something incoherently. and she was gone.

(i'll be back in a little bit to finish the rest of faros and magnus and update you on everyone else)

(this is all getting a bit interesting..oh, new skills for Magnus and Faros at level 4:
Magnus: Fire-proof: 20% Immunity to any heat.
Faros: Fore-sight: Able to see the opponents next move.)

CHRISTMAS

I found myself lying on the ground in the middle of nowhere.Puzzled, I found my bike beside me as I hop onto my bike and rode off into the horizons.

Skills: Wind Slash

Gathering energy into the blade of your sword, you unleash a massive shockwave of wind that slices through the air and can cut through steel with very little difficulty

(hey, SB. I'll give you an immunity to heat at a later level, but for now let's just say heat damage deduced by 20%? can you work with that. and every level he'll go up 20%?)

~~~Deadpool~~~
He stood on a little piece of land that was surrounded by nothing but air. People were staring at him and whispering to eachother. He jumped across the gap to get to an area he could actually walk. people spread apart and ran eachother over to get out of his way. He dropped his head and walked away from the gathering crowd. They follow but keep their distance.

~~~Mephisto~~~

Hearing this unsettling news. Mephisto drops the man and walks away. He leaves town and goes to a near by forest. As he sits under tree, a flash back sequence starts.

Players can now control mephisto. You are in the town of Skindred, but this time you notice it is a very productive town. Buildings, like sky scrapers. Like a colony of ants, people everywhere, keeping themselves busy. It is like nothing had ever happened. (Think of Balamb, but not a school, and more stores. and not it isn't moblie.)

Players now have control of Mephisto. Don't take it to far. Remember this is a flashback. You have limits. You do not start any fights and you try to help as much as possible.

ok, heat immunity at 20%, i can work with that..

what's happening with F & M??

sorry, SB. I'm at work so i don't have much time to add everything. Faros and Magnus have just walked into a room. I'll go with that.

~~~the Underground~~~
FMV-Faros looked around. There was people everywhere. Everyone stands up and starts bowing to the two of them. Worshiping them even.-End FMV

(that's all i can really give you to work off of, SB. You're going to have to work out how this plays out. they are called underlings. they worship "the ones who walk above the earth" such as Faros and Magnus. And keep this in mind, they know everything about our characters. every last one of our characters.)

Leon saw Christmas riding toward hm as he was taking a quick shot of whiskey. He was puzzled at first, then began waving his hands in hopes of halting her. "Hey, hold on! Could you point me to a town?"

CHRISTMAS

I saw a guy waving at me and asked for a ride.

Being half sober by the weird incident which I cannot even remember
what happened, it will be wise to have someone with me.

"Sure, how about Skindred?" I asked.

Mephisto

"And now we have Skindred, nice city here." came a voice.

"............" Mephisto kept quiet.

"You're quiet aren't you idol??? Me is so excited to be able to learn from you, idol!!! Yipeee!!!!." cried the voice again. The voice came from a person that dresses like Mephisto.

Mephisto give the person a death stare.

"oh...ok.....let's go find that rogue elven mage...." the person said

ok, thanks DP, i'm sure i can work this.

There must have been at least 40 people in this large room, bowing down and worshiping Faros and Magnus.

"Who do they think we are?" Magnus whispered to Faros. Faros turned to Magnus and shrugged his shoulders.

"Welcome to our home, Faros, Magnus. Please feel free to take a seat." A man greeted them. The man was dressed in a dark cloak, like a mage, but didn't have his hood over his head, well, more like a Monk really.

"Thank you, kind sir. May i ask how you know our names?" Faros replied. The man guided them in and showed them to their seats.

"We know more than just your names, we know your life, we know your purpose." The man replied. The man sat down in front of Faros and Magnus.

"How? how do you know us so welll?" Magnus asked inquisitively.

"We are simply psychic...a natural born ability that we have,we just wanted to see how our heros of the earth were getting on. Ah, please forgive me, you know nothing of us, we are the Underlings, i am Indus, i am a leader of the Underlings." He replied.

Magnus and Faros looked around, curiosity began to take over them.

"So why do you live down here? Do you ever visit topside?" Faros asked.

"No, we live down here where the peace remains, it has always been our way of life for centuries." Indus explained, "Faros, i see you have strayed from your path, you know your soul should not allow it."

"I know, however, my legend is fading away, fast." Faros replied.

"The "Banisher's" would not be best pleased by your actions you know." Indus said.

-------------------------------------------------

ok, a little explaination of Faros' life, and who he really is, so that you at least have some clue as to what is happening:

Faros is one of the legendary Banishers.
The Banishers were a group of three Dark Knights who decided to use their powers to "banish" all demons and their souls to Hell, they infact almost controlled the majority death toll on demons and Hell's inlet. The Banishers tried to keep their lives a secret as possible, but failed as they had wives, and children.
However, only few children (3, one from each family) gained their father's powers of the Dark Knights. And the legacy continued up until this day, where Faros is the only one left, because the other 2 have died, either in battle or of natural causes.
This is half of Magnus' purpose of being with Faros. To aid him as the other 2 Banishers would have done, just without the title.

However, in this RP, there is a secret Banisher, or that's what i'm planning, the character will be Mephisto, if that's ok with DP? but Mephisto didn't like being a Dark Knight, and so changed his form, that's why Faros wouldn't have recognised him.

CHRISTMAS

I reached Skindred along with the stranger.

I turned my head facing him and asked him his name, just out of curiousity.

"Leon. Leon Gesle. Merc for hire.Thanks for the ride Ms....?"

CHRISTMAS

"Christmas. As for my last name, I dun have one." I smiled.

"Merc, huh? So, do you have any particular things you want to do here?" I added

Turk, just to let you know. because of the level of everyone else being so low, you're still a level 2. but the next fight will take you to level three. we need to know a list of your characters abilities. remember, nothing god like or way out of control. simple, basic attacks to be used in the field. thanks. and i'll be back later to fill in some details of what else is going on.

okay, Faros and Magnus are sitting and eating with the Underlings while Indus tells them just about everything that has happened. that takes a while. so SB, you can skip froward from that. Christmas and Leon end up going there separate ways, with the promise that they'll meet again but not sure when. Leon, he is a merc so all he's doing is looking for work to try and obtain his goal. You're going to run into deadpool and talk to him. He gives you a job and your contract is over when one of you dies. so, yeah, good luck. lol. Mephisto and his "friend" are walking through Skindred. People everywhere begin to scream and they run to see the problem. i want you guys to work on this right now. Faros, Magnus, Christmas, Malice, Deadpool and Leon are all not in the game right now, it is strictly Mephisto. You come around the corner to find Morpheus (you don't know it is him).

Abilities, eh? Do you want me to just post them here?
**************************************** **************

Leon shrugged. "Not really. Just looking for work. Besides, I need to find Morpheus and blow his fuggin brains out..." He looked at Christmas and shook his head. "Ha! But you probably think I'm crazy now. Acting like I could kill that guy..."

Ughh...how about giving us the choice to choose our own path and write this story more freely with each of us contributing to the story instead of everything turn out to be what you want it to be....:kaodrop:

CHRISTMAS

After hearing that,I dun know what got into me as I take a even more clearer look at his face which is more like staring and something struck me.

I held his hand and my eyes look straight into his eyes.

"Have faith in yourself and believe in it. What you think and do contribute to what you will achieve
in the future. At least I won't think you are crazy." I then let his hands down....

"Do you have any business in this town? If not, how about we do a little exploring? I asked.

He smiled with Christmas's words, then shook his head. "No, I don't have any business. I'll explore with you."

CHRISTMAS

"Tee Hee, you like to shake your head a lot, don't you?" I teased.
"You remind me of someone I knew in the past." I added.

We started walking along the streets with me pushing my bike.

"Do you feel more loney and sad than hatred when your loves one died or is forgotten or gone.....?" I asked.

"BTW, if you dun mind, will you want to share your past or any stories of yours with me?" I added.

After Faros and Magnus had finished their food, Indus mentioned the "Banishers Code".
"What about it?" Faros asked,
"Well, may we ask you to translate something for us, it may be for the importance of yours and our future.." Indus explained.
"You do know that our code is to be kept to ourselves, it is not to be revealed to the outside world. That is why it was developed." Faros replied.
"Yes, i do know that, but please, it may aid you in your quest, and our lives. Please Faros, you are our last hope." Indus begged.
"So, that's why you brought me here?" Faros asked, "Well, what is it?"

"Thank you Faros, please follow me." Indus lead the way to a small room, with what looked like a small stone tablet hung on the wall.

"I'm a little rusty on the old Code, but give me some time." Faros explained.
"Of course." Indus replied, and left to the large room with the others.

The tablet read: Dri Fobidu Zi Ton Visus Din Unkambus. Spirus ZEN lisus on Diriusis.

"I....Forbid....You...To....Go...To....Un derchamber. In the darkness lies the spirit of ZEN." Faros slowly translated. "Where does he mean, here? or further down?" he asked.

"When my father died, sadness was what came first... But what came second, and what was stronger, was hatred. I hated Morpheus for taking him from me..." He looked at Christmas and smiled. "My past, eh? Been a long time since someone asked for that... All right, I'll tell you."

"My mother died shortly after by birth from disease, so I live much with my father. My father was a great man, a talented warrior, loved and respected by all who him. But no one considered him a greater man than me. He began training me when I was very young to carry on his destiny, the destiny of our family. You see, I come from a long line of warriors known as the the Defenders, all of whom have sworn to protect this land from evil."

"Then Morpheus appeared. As a Defender, my father had to destroy Morpheus to protect the world. But he couldn't stop him... Instead, Morpheus killed him. I was devastated. I wanted nothing more than to crush him, to make him suffer. So, I started a rebel army. It was a great army, some of the finest warriors I've ever met were in it. But all of them met the same fate as my father. Except this time, it was my fault."

"I led them to him, thinking we could beat him. But I was wrong. He crushed them like insects. I've never seen such a massacre at any other time. I was the only one who survived, though I can no longer see through this." He pointed to his left eye. It was grey, and a scar streched across it. "Ever since then I've just been a wanderer, searching not only for food and pay, but for him."

He shook his head again, then remembered Christmas's words from before. "...Your right, I do do that a lot... So, what about you? What's your story?"

CHRISTMAS

"It's a secret" I sticked my tongue out and teased.

Then I took a few steps forward, and said "It's pretty much the same as yours...except that I dun even know who my parent is..."

"I was adopted by some some rich couple who are nothing but jerks and used me as an ornament to beautifies themselves."

I turned and walked towards Leon.

"Then one day a special person came and changed my life" I smiled at him.

"I finally have the courage to leave those parents of mine after he appeared. " I then started to walk circles around him then stopped.

"I wondered where this special person is now?" I winked at Leon.

"Anyway, I now worked for someone rich and powerful to help run some errands." I started to untie my bandages.

"But some accidents happened along the way, you see....so if you dun mind, how about you accompany me? We can see who is more lonely and sad" I teased.

"So, if you agree, then what will you want as a price?" I asked.

Leon smiled as Christmas circled and spoke, but said nothing until she was done. "My price. I don't know... For you Miss Christmas, lets make it free of charge. I think I could use some company too."

CHRISTMAS

"Right. But call me Christmas without that "Miss" infront." I said.

"Currently, I need to catch up with a group of people that is transporting some "stuff". But it seems they had went pretty far already."

I pointed towards a restaurant and signalled Leon to go in.

"They might had already reach their destination, so now I am waiting for my "boss" to call for further updates." I added as I took a seat and look at the menu.

"What might you like? My treat of course." I smiled.

Just then, an old man came and took a seat together with us on the same table.

"Oh hello there, young fella...."said the old man.

The old man is dressed in exquisite clothes and his overall turn out bearing certainly don't fit with those murderers,criminals....etc that resides in this town.

"Pardom me, I am an old scholar that had been researching about the "Banisher", but my old bones are too weak to go do it myself." he said.

He signalled the waiter and said something to him.

"You two seems to be most decent and trustworthy among the people I see here..."

The other customers in the restaurant turned and give us death stares upon hearing this....

"So if you don't mind, can you help an old timer fufill his wish?" he requested.

"So we go find this "Banisher" of yours?" I asked.

"Something like this, but what interests me is the legendary "Banishers Code". If possible, can you get me that...? Or just the meaning of it will be enough to grant me a peaceful death which is soon to come." he said.

I begin to consider when he cut me off.

"Of course. You won't do it for nothing, I have payment installed for this quest as reward...." he added. "how about it, young fella?"

"The Banishers? Well, I've heard of them. My father spoke of them sometimes..." He looked at Christmas and shrugged. "Why not? I'll go if you do."

CHRISTMAS

"Really? I am mighty flattered that you said this, your Majesty." I joked.

"Then do we have an agreement, young fella?" asked the old man.

"I guess so, so where might this "Banishers" be?" I asked.

"I don't have a single idea...." replied the old man.

We left the resturant after having our meals and went to look for some clues while the old man wait for us in the inn.

"Banishers? Never heard of it. But if you want some pills.....I do have some...make you high, hot and WILD...lady....heeheehee..." ~ Random Drug Dealer We met

"What's so great about Banishers? I think Terminator sounds better"
~ Random Begger We met.

"I dun know about Banishers but i do know I got banished from home after burning the whole town down. So am I a "Banishers"?" ~ Random Criminal we met.

"This is pretty hopeless, no one seems to know anything about these "Banishers." What's should we do?" I asked Leon while walking towards him.

"C'mom, you sure have some ideas that you want to contribute don't you?" I then pat his back

"Why not share with me, your fellow lonely companion?" I added.

*random extra walks past, farting half way..*

*random extra walks past, farting half way..*
(Thanks for that NA. Real action there, adding to the drama...)

Faros had a flash through his mind, seeing Christmas and a stranger sat at a table talking.
"People are looking for this, they're searching for me, they're searching for the Banisher's Code." Faros said, "We cannot let them get this."

Both Faros and Magnus walked back to Indus, and told him the translation.

"Thank you, Faros. You have lived to expectations. We know people are looking for this, there will be two people after you, a young woman, Christmas, and a young man....i can't get his name...but you must be careful, they know that you will be the one, they will find out who you are, your past will be discovered.." Indus explained.

"They can't..." Faros replied.

Leon shrugged, "I just know that they were here to banish the demon's from this world. My father used to talk about them, since our goals were similiar. I'm not sure if there are even any Banishers left..."

CHRISTMAS

"Banish Demons you said, lad?" said a guy covering his face with bandages.

"You are...." I asked.

He removed his bandages and reveal a really hideous face. almost demon-like. I was really shocked by such a face.

"Well, I was mistaken as a demon for having a face like this, and the townfolks here wanted to kill me....OUCH!!!" he yelled

I try pulling his face and verify if he is wearing a mask on not.

"This face of mine is real!!! I was born with it!!!" as he pulled himself from me.

"Anyway, just before I get walloped by everyone, a guy that claimed himself as a "Banisher" appeared. He convinced everyone I am not a demon and I really admired him. So I volunteered to be his lackey and followed him around." his face begin to show pride and seems proud of what he did.

"Then the two of us travelled and we met this group of psychics that resides in a underground cave nearby. It was soon after we met them, I was told to go home and reluctantly I did. I have no news of this "Banisher" later on" he said.

"When do this happen?" I asked.

"Almost a decade ago." he answered.

"Ok, show us where the cave is" I requested.

And so the man showed us the directions to the cave and we started making our way there.

"You must leave, now, both of you." Indus exclaimed, "intruders are after you, i can feel it, but you cannot leave through the entrance, you will have to go beneath our cave, to go beneath the entrance onto a further out exit." he explained.

"Ok, so which way do we go out of this door?" Faros asked.

"You will know the way, you will feel the way." Indus told both of them.

Faros and Magnus quickly opened the door, turned around and said their goodbyes. They turned right out of the door, into the dark corridor, all they could see was a pitch black tunnel in front of them.

"Well, we better get moving." Magnus said.
"Wait...we need to head towards the daylight." Faros contradicted, "We can simply avoid the intuders by keeping to the shadows of the light." Faros explained.

They continued towards the daylight entrance, keeping to the edges, in the shadows.

CHRISTMAS

We followed the direction given by that man and reached the cave.

"It's kinda creepy for someone to live underground here, dun you think?" I asked.

Leon just kept quiet.

We reached a large room with at least 40 people around there. All sitting still like they were meditating. I tried talking to them but no one respone me. As though I am talking to a bunch of mute.

"So, Leon, any idea how to communicate with these cave dwellers?" I asked.

Magnus and Faros managed to sneak by the girl and the man un-noticed.
"Hey, that's the girl that worked for the Mayor..so that's Christmas." Magnus exclaimed.

"Come on, we've got to get away, we're to close to them, they'll find us here." Faros replied.

They carried on in the shadows, out of the entrance and into the front of the small town, Skindred.

"Back w to square one." Magnus said.

Faros had other thoughts on his mind, unanswered questions,
"What did the coded script mean? who was ZEN? where was this forbidden under chamber?" thoughts running through his mind.

"Listen, we've got to find the others. Where did they go?" Faros asked.

They both walked back into the town....

new guy joining in:D

name:Kusanagi
age: 18
occupation:collector of Death (just because he collects souls for Death doesn't make him immortal or as powerful as Death, so hes not a god character)
type:soul collector
weapons: Death's scythe (legendary) 2x silver desert eagles, gold crosses adorn the grips of the guns, soul orbs
Info: was a normal kid who died in a beast attack on his village, it just so happened that Death had a job spot open in collecting souls. so he was taught how to fight and how to do his job. he was then givin back a mortal form for use in his new duty
appearance: has white hair that is formed into a shag and wears a black leather trenchcoat. bears the jet black eyes and blood red pupils of a soul collector

A man lay beaten to death on the streets as a result of a fight. the crowd had left to go back to their lives, all but one, Kusanagi walked over to the beaten man, kneeled down beside him and placed an orb upon his chest. he watched as the orb absorbed the mans soul and when it was done he picked it up and lightly threw it up into the air. with a small flash of light and a subtle DING the orb disappeared, on its way to be judged. as he was leaving two men caught his eye and he thought that he may have caught theres. there was a strange air around these two men as they hurried off into town, something that interested him, and so he followed them from a distance to see if something...interesting might happen.

(i repeat, this is not a god character.)

Leon glanced at Christmas, then at the people. "Hello?" The men said nothing. "My name is Leon Gensle. I am the last Defender. I seek the Banishers." The men sturred for a moment, some even making low whispers, but none replied. Leon shook his head. "They will not speak."

CHRISTMAS

I noticed a small room at a far corner so I hinted Leon. We started walking towards that room.

A monk was standing beside the room. He turned his head and said "The passageway to the room is not as simple as its seem" with that, he sat down and joined the others in their meditating session.

As I started walking along the passage way towards the room, my head started spinning as the world started to get blurry...

A little girl with blonde hair ran towards Leon. I was really shocked and puzzled about what happened.

The two of us seems to be in the middle of nowhere now.

She stopped infront of Leon and asked.

"Do you remember me?"

Leon stared at her for a moment, a puzzled look on his face. Then, slowly his eye widdened with shock. "E...Elizabeth...?"

"Hello Mr. Gensle."

Leon fell to his knees and grabbed th girl's hands. "Elizabeth... No... I... I saw you. He tore you apart... I told you not to come, I told you!! Why wouldn't you listen!?"

"Daddy was out there, Mr. Gensle. I had to help daddy."

"Elizabeth..." Leon stood up again, trying to hold back the tears. "What is this place? Why is it showing me this?"

CHRISTMAS

I started to get really confuse at the sight of this. Blurry Images of my past started flashing past me drawing me nearer to a breakdown.

"Mr Gensle, were you able to save Daddy? Did you save Daddy? Did you fail all of us, Mr Gensle?" Elizabeth started to weep.

"This must be some kind of trick those cave dwellers pull....."I thought to myself.

"Hey Leon...I am pretty sure this must some illusionary tricks that those cave dwellers are putting up outside. Even you are able to touch and feel it, doesn't mean we must grieve over it cause it is all past." I stood up pat Elizabeth on the shoulder.

"We live in the present now and is moving on towards the future, we can't stay with you in the past" I started to walk forward into the darkness with my eyes closed and urged Leon to come along.

Leon couldn't take his eyes off the innocent little girl in front of him. As he looked into her bright blue eyes, all he could see was that mauled body of the little girl, body dripping from her wounds. So many wounds...

"Elizabeth... Your Daddy... I..." He looked up at Christmas, his body shaking. "An... An illusion... Yes. J-Just an illusions..." He slowly pulled himself away from the girl and began to follow Christmas.

"Where is Daddy, Mr. Gensle? I want to see Daddy! Where is he?" Leon closed his eyes tightly, fighting himself not to turn around. Slowly, he continued to follow Christmas.

CHRISTMAS

I soon feel light surrounding the area as we reached a small room with a small stone tablet hung on the wall. There is a man standing infront of the tablet.

"You overcome your past, or did you just run away from it?" asked the man. " I am Indus,leader of the Underlings or who you call cave dwellers."

"Interesting trick you pull, but try something more creative next time." I said

He looked at Leon " Young lad, you are the last of the defenders I heard. I see you have quite a regretful past from what I saw just now. Have you failed someone, or failed as being a defender or failed...."

"Never mind about that, mind if we take a look at your precious tablet after all those that we went through?" I spoke up cutting him off halfway.

"I afraid not, but if you insist on using force, I am afraid I will have to bury you alive here along with the other Underlings." He sat down and started meditating. The cave seems to shake a little.

"What should we do, Leon?" I asked.

Leon did not reply to her question. He stepped forward and stared at Indus. "What is it you wish from me, Sir Indus? Yes, I failed someone. I have fail many in my attempt to stop him. Many lives were lost. It is something I doubt I will ever forgive myself for. But I will not fail as a defender for as long as I breathe."

He looked back at Christmas, then returned to Indus. "What do you want from us?"

CHRISTMAS

"You spoke well, young defender, as for that, I am glad." Indus opened his eyes from his meditation and looked at Leon. The cave stopped shaking.

"But deep inside, I sense you will need time to get over it. But faith is just what you need to move on and let go of your past." he smiled.

"You lived up as a defender indeed, but as for you lady, you hide your feelings and memories even to yourself. You locked it somewhere beneath the reach of yourself or our magic, that might be why you can remain pretty sane in situation like this" Indus sighed "But sooner or later you will have to face it, I hope someone will help you unlock them"

I remain slience.

"I request you two to leave us and the Banisher's Code alone or the walls will cave in...." there is complete slience after his last words.

Leon looked back at Christmas. "Come on. It's not worth our lives." He turned back to the leader and bowed. "I don't know who you people are, but I have a feeling we'll meet again." He nodded to Christmas and began to walked back the way they came.

CHRISTMAS

We walked back to the town. I didn't say a word since we left the cave.

"Oh, young fellows, you are back...."*cough**cough*It was that old scholar that requested our help earlier on.

There was blood splitting out with every cough......

"Oh mine....I must be really running..running low of time...." he walked slowly towards us.

"So...did you find out anything about...about the Banisher Code....?" his eyes was full of sorrow and yet show a glimpse of hope as his face is really pale from the last time we saw him.

Leon shook his head. "I'm sorry sir, we found nothing. I can tell you the few things I know myself, but nothing special." He glanced down at the that had fallen to the ground after he coughed at looked at the old man's sorrowful expression. "What is it you want to about them, exactly?"

CHRISTMAS

"Oh...pity....allow me to introduce..myself...I am Reginald Agatha, founder of the AGATHA foundation."

The mention of his name woke me up from my daze and I quickly saluted him.

"Greetings to you Sir, I am Agent Christmas"

"I..I'm already retired....I spend my last remaining days roaming the world searching...for ancients relics and infomations that might contribute...to..the downfall of Morpheus." his voice started getting softer.

"I heard of the Banisher's Code and thought it will have some help...but pity....it's the will of heaven that it turned out this way, here take this." *cough* he handed us a shiny jewel which look like it worth quite a lot....

"Thank you young fellows....*cough*...I shouldn't be troubling you now...." He turned his back at us and started walking away.

"So, why was the Banisher's code invented?" Magnus asked.

"It was invented, like Morse Code, as a disguised language, so no-one but the Banisher's knew what it said. The Banisher's are not suppoed to release or translate any of the information on those tablets. However, since i'm the only one left, it doesn't really matter," Faros explained,

The two of them continued to walk into the town. As they turned a corner, a man in a long, black trench coat stood in their path, as if waiting for them to arrive.

Kusanagi

Kusanagi looked at the two men and began to talk as he strolled toward them "what about you two intrigues me so? what is it that compels me to watch you?" he was now standing face to face with the two men and he could see that they were peering into his eyes then turning toward Magnus he says "hmmm, you seem to know what i am, yet i do not know what you are and that must be the source of my intriguement" then, beginning to stride away from the two "I'll see you to in your next battle"

and as he strode on he began to trail a mugger with a concealed knife in his right pocket who had intentions for a young woman entering a dark alleyway.

CHRISTMAS

"I'll meet you up in the inn....I wish to be alone for a while...." I frowned "and look after my bike, ok? Thanks a lot!" I winked to Leon as I started walking away.

I strolled past the streets pondering what Indus said and without noticing, I wandered into a dark alleyway.

"What the hell was all that about?" Magnus asked.
"I don't know, but i have a bad feeling about him, lets follow." Faros suggested.

They both saw the man pick up an orb and saw it disappear. They stood in amazement.
"None of you were supposed to be left..." Faros suddenly realised.

Kusanagi

the woman was dead in the alley from the mugger he saw earlier and after he had tossed the orb he barly noticed the two men following him but he didn't care. his mind was on that mugger who was running into another alley. Death had givin Kusanagi orders to not interfere with the order of death meaning to not try and save interfere or kill anyone on the list before there time. but because of Kusanagi's loyal service, Death loosened the straps a little allowing Kusanagi to kill humans if he felt the need. and now he felt the need to stop this evil.

the mugger was checking his spoils when suddenly he turned to find Kusanagi staring him down "it is your time" Kusanagi orders. the mugger leaps at Kusanagi, stabbing him with a knife again and again. behind him Kusanagi looks at this man stabbing at a false image. before he was hit he placed a doppelganger and did a full body side flip to land behind the mugger.

he begins to laugh, the mugger turns to look down the barrel of Kusanagi's .50 caliber desert eagle, "you've been judged"

a loud gunshot filled the air as the muggers head disappeared from his body in a bloody splatter. pulling out an orb, Kusanagi shoves it down the newly formed hole and pulls it back out, glowing.

he holsters his gun and looks at the orb "...send this one to hell." up it goes into the air and then its gone.

CHRISTMAS

I found a woman's body in the alley and realize she is dead. Saddened, I carried her body with intention to give her a burial or so when I saw Faros and Magnus around the corner.

"Who is he Faros?" Magnus asked,
"He's a judge...hired by Death himself. He reaps the mortal souls from the mortal plains and sends them to the immortal land of hell to be finally judged, whether they go to hell or heaven.." Faros explained.

The two turned around and saw Chistmas,
"Long time no see, Christmas.." Magnus greeted her.

(Oh, btw Myrmidon, i can tell you've played Devil May Cry 3, but since i like Dante, you can keep your character...:D)

CHRISTMAS

"Ya, mind lending me a hand, this body I am carrying here is pretty heavy." I asked.

"By the way, I didn't kill her. I just found her dead ok? Dun give me this kind of looks" I frowned as I speak.

We buried her nearby and make a simple grave for her.

"So, where are you two going?...Oh hey Faros, I didn't notice you. Hello."

Leon leaned against a wall, glancing every once in a while at the bike that had been left in his protection. She had been gone for awhile, and he was beginning to worry. His mind began to wander. "Banishers... Banishers... Damn it, can't remember... Christmas..." Leon struggled for a moment to stay awake before passing out and crashing to the ground.

"H..Hi Christmas." Faros nervously replied. He wiped his glasses and looked around, nervously.
"What is it with you?" Magnus whispered to Faros. He got no answer.
"We're just following this strange guy. Faros says he's some sort of mortal Judge...but i dunno." Magnus replied to Christmas, "We know you didn't kill that girl, the mugger did, and this guy captured her soul."

CHRISTMAS

"Oh, some guy that capture other people's soul? Is he a soul reaper or something?" I asked.

We started walking back to where Leon is.

"And by the way, you heard of the Banisher or something related to them? Like their precious code?" I added until I saw someone collapsed on the ground.

======================================== ======================================

Devil May Cry rocks!!!:D
Kusanagi

walking back the way he came, he notices the two men and a woman standing around a body.

he pushes his way into them ignoring their stares and looks at the body

using his "special" eyes he looks within the man and finds a soul of a still living person. "so hes not dead then"

feeling a bit of pity for the man he hoists him up and begins to walk while saying "friend of yours? come with me, I got a nice warm hotel room, and I'll buy you guys dinner wilst I'm at it."

they walk into Kusanagi's room and he lays the man down on the bed and turns to look at the others "well, ya hungry?"

(Devil May Cry rulz mate.!)

"Hungry? We're starving..." Magnus replied.
"What about him?" Faros asked, pointing to the body. He got no reply, Kusanagi walked out of the room and returned with two Pizzas.

"Pizza!!" Magnus exclaimed, "You know how to eat."

CHRISTMAS

I sat besides Leon's bed as his eyes remain closed shut without any sign of life.

"Our little adventure had just begin isn't it, wake up soon...ok..." I held up his hand and said with watery eyes.

There was complete slience with the exception of the others busy eating outside.

"Do you remember the...." suddenly my phone rang.

"WE ARE IN DEEP TROUBLES!! THE TEST SUBJECTS HAD ESCAPED!!!" came a voice from the phone.

I hung the phone and lost interest in those works they are giving me. Suddenly, something struck me.

Reluctantly, I got up and place my hand on Leon's forehead and said " I want to see you healthy and happy the next time I see you, ok..?" I left without bidding goodbye and sped off on my bike.

hey guys. sorry i've been gone for so long. been realllllllllllllllllllllly busy. SB, thanks for taking charge. appreciate it. but because of how i'm feeling, everything i read is kind of not making sense. so i would like an update. just a summarized version of everything that has happened so far. and no one took control of my characters so i'm wondering if you guys took them along for the ride and just had them shut up or what's the deal? are we still in skindred and the surrounding areas or no? give me an update and i'll attempt to get back soon. thanks and later guys

SUMMARY

Leon meet up with Christmas and got together.

Faros and Magnus interacted with the Banisher's Code in the Underling's cave.

Leon talked about his past.

Christmas and Leon met an old man who tell them to find the Banisher's Code.

They agreed while Faros and Magnus along with the others is not happy with the idea when they learn about it.

Faros and Magnus left the cave without being notice by Christmas and Leon who is making their way there.

The Underlings cast magic which confused one mind when Christmas and Leon is on their way there. Leon saw his sad past and overcome it.

The Underlings refused to tell them anything about the Banisher's code.

Christmas and Leon left the cave.

The old man is dissappointed when they can't find the Banisher code and introduced himself as Christmas' former boss. He left soon.

Magnus and Faros met Kusanagi.

Kusanagi reaps the mortal souls from the mortal plains and sends them to the immortal land of hell to be finally judged, whether they go to hell or heaven.

Leon passed out.

All of them met and found Leon. They went to a hotel and got some rest while Leon is still unconscious.
======================================== ========================

Your characters is still in the place where you left them.

*Leon finds himself standing in the center of a battlefield, a farmiliar blade in his hand, but one he hadn't held in a long time. Two forces were clashing, one an army of humans, the others demons*

"Leon, duck!"

Leon quickly hurled hmself to the ground, a lion-like creature jumping over his head. The demon landed and tried to pounce again, but Leon quickly stood and shoved the blade through the creatures forehead. The beast died almost instantly and slipped of the Defender's sword. He turned, looking into the eyes of an old friend.

"That one nearly got ya, boss! Good thing ya got me!" The young man smirked.

Leon's stepped back in shock. "L-Lerman!?"

Lerman smiled, "The one and only... Ya all right boss? Your pale. Like ya just saw a ghost." A winged demon flew down on the Lerman. He quickly grabbed his two daggers and lunged forward, decapitating the winged foe. "Man, I almost forgot we were in battle! Come on boss, its go time!" The young warrior ran off in search of his next foe.

Leon on fell to his knees, looking all around hm. He was there again. The battle with Morpheus. The battle where they had all died.

"Things seem to be going so well, didn't they?" Leon turned to see Morpheus standing behind him.

"YOU!" eon grabbed the blade and lunged forward, attempting to slice through the foe. However, his blade simple went through with out a scratch.

"What a fool you are. I suppose things haven't changed much, have they?" A twisted grin appeared on Morpheus' face. "It seem like you would win. Until..."

Their was a sudden flash of light at hit the center of the battlefield. An explosion followed, blasting all the soldiers in the surrounding area back. Then Morpheus appeared, the Morpheus he had known in that battle. He began shooting light from the palms of his hands, striking each of the rebel soldiers and killing them instantly. Then, he released it all, sending a wave of all of his magical energy on his enemy. Everyone before him fell over and died. This Morpheus turned to his demons. "Kill the leftovers." Then, he disappeared in the same flash he came in.

Suddenly, the landscape dissapeared, and it was just him and Morpheus, in a white room. Morpheus turned to Leon. "You ran, didn't you? Ran like a coward!"

"No! Thats not true! I had to! If I could avenge them, I-"

"Your excuses are pitiful. Your a coward, and that is all."

"NO! Thats not true!"

"Really?" Morpheus moved forward and grabbed Leon's throat, lifting him upward. "Then wake up. Wake up and fight me, you pitiful little man!" He hurled Leon on forward, and the Defender's world went black.
**************************************** **************

Leon woke up in a cold sweat. "I'LL KILL YOU!!" He screamed. He looked around, slowly realizing he was in a bed... With unfamiliar people around him.

"Umm... Hi?"

this happens before the man wakes up, oh and turkslayer i think we are outside the room when we eat
Kusanagi

Kusanagi calmly eats his pizza as the other two scarf it down. they must have been hungry, like realllly hungry. he notices that there missing one, the girl

he wanders back into his room and finds the man. but no woman, he smiles, no woman ever stayed around him for long

he walks back out to the two men "seems were missing one, shame, wanna go find her?"

CHRISTMAS

I rode my bike through the plains outside the city and headed back to the underlings hideout.

Another bike zoomed past and I noticed the rider carry a small stone tablet with him.

I reversed my bike and went after him.

is this story dead now? wheres the occ, continue the story

CHRISTMAS

I chased after the bike at full speed and it seems to have noticed me. The rider took out a shotgun and began firing at me.

Being caught off guard, one of the bullets brushed past my face leaving behind a trail of blood.

I drew my sword immediately and deflected the shots. We reached town with me following closely behind the mysterious rider as we zoomed across the streets with speed far exceeding the limits.
