THE PLOT

Our world, normal as can be even in the year 2024. We continue to live our daily lives as exciting, or as boring, as we make them. As a whole, the human race has simply continued 'living' as it always has, despite the movements going on in the world they don't know about. The world that people of religious faith, or not, believe they know. Many a time, this other world will even interact with ours, with such occurances being blamed by conspiracy theorists, on another figment of human imagination, such as the illuminati or some other force.

This has gone on many times over the years, with such people being labeled as crazy, often even clinically insane. The truth can never be understood except by those who have personally witnessed the other side. Such people either do not exist anymore, or are driven to madness by what they cannot comprehend. Among such people not, are talks of an impending end of the world as we all know it. Of course, such claims are quickly put down by those who believe they live normally. No matter how much people insist the end of coming, no one will believe them. However, one question still remains:

What if the end of the world... Really wasn't the end?

THE RULES


  • 1) Usual RP rules? No godmodding, bunnying without permission, ect. I'd like those that participate to be aware of how we like to play around others.
    ---
  • 2) We start off in a normal world, before everything goes to Hell in a giftbasket. So no demon-based stuff at the start yet.
    ---
  • 3) This is Shin Megami Tensei. It's gonna get dark and downright mean. Hell, even i'm squeamish about some stuff, but expect it to be alluded to here at some point.
    ---
  • 4) If you have any suggestions for the game, i'm open about it and will very well consider them. Player input is always fun to hear, especially if it helps raise their interest, though I can only go so far. Be mindful of that.
    ---
  • 5) Not sure how many i'll accept, though given the nature of this kind of game, a minimum of three can suffice. There is no set maximum yet, though if we get more by the grace of god, I guess 8 or 10 will be our max.
    ---
  • 6) The setting of the RP will be in Japan. Sorry to those who expected it to be elsewhere. D: We'll likely start off in Osaka, and explore the other, altered areas as time goes on.
    ---
  • 7) Lucky 7. I demand a sacrifice of your first bottle of Sunkist. Must be orange or cherry-flavored. Grape will result in me raiding your fridge. You do NOT want me to raid your fridge.

the reason I was born.
[ *  *  * ]
Name: Amaya Saitou
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Race: Human

Appearance: Amaya and her varying expressions --
Amaya Saitou is a fairly average woman in Japan, about 5'5" in height and wears her mid-length hair up in a messy style. As for her weight, only she has the right to know! (aka 112lbs) Her posture is slightly lazy, however one does not easily disregard her in that sense -- the woman was previously a model for the popular gothic lolita fasion in Japan. Otherwise, the woman has grown to be a fashion designer (or the sorts) which is rather apparent on her simple, yet just as simply eye-catching clothing. The woman styles a sleeveless halter top and left the first few buttons off, and a pair of faded denim shorts -- along with fishnet tights, adorned with ankle-height, folded black boots.

Personality: Amaya is easily a flirt, out of her ways in order to prevent herself from giving out too much leakage on her real personality and traumatic errors and experience. She is easy to bluff others, however; her incapability of keeping the same facade upon being left alone is a certain to backfire herself. She doesn't enjoy being kept or cooped by others, or commanded over -- thus one must know that her nature is actually extremely rebellious, which is something rather odd -- for about two years ago, she was of a different personality.

Her bubbly and outgoing attitude is easy to shoot down once she has perceived something that has caused her trauma -- being ghosts. ( Ghouls species, to be exact ) Otherwise, her fragile optimistic behaviour can bring good to others who require it, and the thoughts of being capable to deliver happiness to others helps in aiding her to stop thinking about her past.

Amaya is constantly muttering things to herself as well, either as reminders, or as a message to Kai.

Miscellaneous:
  • A pair of headphones
  • A mini-radio ( which she uses to listen to static ; purposes are a secret )
  • A rosary necklace
  • A waist bag

    • A piece of photograph she carries around, at all times
    • Chocolate snacks. What can ever go wrong with them?


Magatama: Youming -- based on a Chinese moniker for Hell or the Underworld, which means "Serene Darkness" and is Neutral-aligned. It focuses on the fortitude of ice magic, which gives someone a taste of slow and steady death with a fair number of healing capabilities such as being capable of healing status ailments -- but unable to revive those who are in need.
Weapon Form: True to the name of Youming, which also represents punishment -- the weapon that can be formed by Amaya would be a chain whip, her variation being Jiujiebian, one with nine sections -- alike to how most would have perceived that Hell consists of nine levels, however in Chinese beliefs -- there are eighteen, which is a multiple of nine.
Abilities:
  • Dia
  • Bufu
  • /placeholder

Demons:

  • [Rusalka] ( Marin Karin, Aqua )

Theme Songs:
Character

Battle


/ adding to that as a trivia; Kai is obviously not Kaito but I checked the previous RP she was in and this guy also shared similar initials being KM. The names being different though, her Kai = Kairin Matsuda. xD

/ / as another note, because they all live in a normal world -- when I mentioned that the Ghouls species will scare her is because she was actually someone suffering out of capabilities of seeing spirits, so not exactly alike to the demons here. I'm just saying that out of the demons, the Ghoul species will more than likely trigger her memories.

A little WIP for now... Music and pictures found in this profile are not my own work, and any credit for them should be given to their rightful owners.

===

Name: Kaito Murakami
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Race: Human

Appearance: Kaito
Kaito stands at a height of 5'6, weighing around 129 lbs. For the majority of his time in prison, his reddish brown-colored hair had become rather overgrown, even to the point of covering his eyes. However, with good behavior, he has been able to earn a few qualities he can use to help make life in prison just a bit more tolerable, with one of his most common choices being a haircut. He has moderate muscle tone to his frame due to work done in the prison, an aspect he refuses to refine until he's satisfied.

Personality: At one point, Kaito was much more cheerful, almost easygoing even. There was nothing but bright futures in his sights, and it felt like there was almost nothing he couldn't do. At least as long as he had his sister around. Though she was quite a handful, he made it a note to take good care of her like a proper older brother.

However, as she has long since been wrenched out of his life, he's become very bitter and destructive. His first instinct upon learning of what happened to his sister was to exact revenge: a feat he only half-managed to finish before he was arrested for murder, among other things. There is no more sense of a bright future for Kaito now. He only passively waits in prison until the day he is free, so he can make his second, preferably final attempt an exacting his revenge.

Due to his change, he constantly vyes to grow much stronger by any means possible. With the only friend he made in prison, he's been heard saying he'd sell what little remained of his soul and humanity to the prince of darkness himself just for one final chance. He isn't without humor, though his may be a bit darker or ruder than most.

Miscellanous: Nothing of note

Magatama: Xibalba - A Magatama inspired by the 'Place of Fear', effectively Hell in Mayan mythology. As a Magatama, it is a Chaos-aligned parasite that bestows upon its user access to Dark element and status-altering (negative) spells, with some Physical focus. It imparts a minor resistance to Darkness upon him, but also a sense of weakness to both Ice and Light.
Weapon Form: Further drawing inspiration from his Magatama, his weapon decidedly takes the shape of what appears to be a Macuahuitl. Nearly as large as he is, one can see obvious jagged formations in it to form serrated edges. Oddly, he gives it the name One-Death, though for what reason is unknown.
Abilities:

  • Mudo (Low Dark damage, one foe)
  • Curse (Low chance of inflicting Cursed status, one foe)
  • Venom Zapper (Low physical damage, area-of-effect, may cause Poison)

Demons:

  • Cockatrice - Poison Skewer (Light physical damage, chance of poison), Wing Flap (Light physical ranged damage, hits multiple times), Stone Eye (Chance of petrification)


Themes:
Character
Initial - Envoy of Hades ~ UnchainBlades ReXX OST
??? - Deadwing ~ Porcupine Tree | "... I'm back... Back once more with newfound resolve in my resolutions, and newfound power to carry me towards them. I exist now, as neither man nor demon!"

Battle
Initial - Phalanx Diabolu ~ PP Music | "Heheheh... The same power as them, eh? Does that make me a demon too, I wonder? I don't really care about the answer... All I know is, i'm going to beat the shit out of you with this power."
??? - My Innermost Apocalypse ~ The Binding of Isaac: Wrath of the Lamb OST | "Some people don't understand what it really means to sell your soul for a purpose, or what it does to you. I like to think i'm one of the few that do. I can't say you'll live long enough to say the same though, heheheheh..."

[ *  *  *  * ]
Name: Branwynn Llew Cadwaldr
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Race: Human

Appearance: 180cm tall and pretty slender with a somewhat felyne-ish build. (Around 60kg, but he got thinner after the cataclysm.) His skin is pretty pale, due to him avoiding sunlight either before and after the Cataclyms, he keeps his raven-like hair shoulder length and pretty messed, kinda resembling a man because: "Lion is my middle name." Before the cataclysm he used to keep a fashionable wardrobe, with shirts, ascots, jackets and even suits for his work. Preferring a more casual, hipster or dark metal\goth style while in his free time. After the cataclysm he decided to go pratical, wearing black clothes, battle boots and a cloak like thing to protect from the rain.

Personality: A young man of welsh heritage that ended up working as an assistant for one of the professors in charge of keeping the relationships between the Kyoto National Museum and the British Museum in London. As an adept historian he's pretty collected and not hasty to judge someone's motives even if he may like or dislike people on instincts alone. Being a person of notable culture is either a pro and a con, as while he's pretty open minded and reasonable he may usually end up looking down a little on others that didn't share his level of instruction. That lead him to be socially uncomfortable most of the times, due to eh, awkward...

He's a good reader and enjoys doing it as most as he could, especially near fireplaces and with tea. Something he finds weird to do in japan, though he developed a taste for maid cafes. Well, no one said he was perfect after all. Coming Japan was a weird experience for him, used to the the different chaos than the city, a different feeling from the one coming from the City. It didn't helped his social issues, though he managed to feel at ease in ramen shops, sobaya and small drinking place, all of these pretty similar to the english pubs.

As an historician he has grow pretty interested into Celtic\Irish\Welsh myths, prolly the reason for Airgetlam to choose him as his host. He's also pretty knowledgeable over most european myths while lacking a little in the asian ones and being pretty oblivious of the africa, America and australia lore.

Themes

Personal

Battle

  • THIS - Too long to hotlink the whole title. Credits on the YouTube page.
  • THIS TOO - Too long of a title either. Credits on the YouTube page.


Miscellanous: Amongst other things he owns a quite big amount of silver and natural stone jewelry. Mostly it's Celtic\Irish themed but amongs the notable things.

  • A Dark Blue Star Sapphire pendant. (Usually kept in skin contact, but not always.)
  • A feather shaped earring. (On his left earlobe.)
  • An Amethyst pendant earring. (On his right earlobe.)
  • Three pearl earrings. (Black, Red, White. Always worn, on his right earlobe.)
  • Two Silver Band Rings. (Shaped in a draconic theme, he keeps them always close but never wears them.)

Ironically he tossed all the 'memento' of his past life away when the world went to shit, deciding to start anew and never looking back to a past he'd never attain anymore.

Magatama: Airgetlam (Named after Nuada's Silver Hand. It's either a symbiont and a crest of ruling amongst the Demons related to the Irish Myths. Usually Faeries and Beasts for the most. At first it brands the host with a small silvery mark on the top of the right hand, though continue use of its power will end up with it growing and the hand mutating in a silvery demonic claw if enough times had to pass. It bestows Power mainly focusing over Wind but also allowing Physical oriented techniques and a small mastery over Light skills.

Weapon Form: Claiohm Solais It's a sword. It's made of light\energy. No name could be better. Going into specifics it's shaped something like a Flamberge, though due to its nature, the weight isn't really a problem.

Abilities:


  • Zan: Your basic Wind attack. Despite not being the hardest hitting spell, it's fast and travels longer than many others.
  • Assault Dive: Sword Version. Bran jumps into the sky then dashes toward the enemy stabbing it with the sword.



Demons:

  • Elf (Zio, Dia)

Updated the player roster and demon roster for the time being. o= So far, everyone's looking good for the time being. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Though, Keal. Feel free to remove that (demi-fiend only) bit in your post. Also, if you guys would like, feel free to describe how your attacks are executed, much like Kay and Mugen have. Optional, but not necessary, so don't feel pressured into it.
