 Forward note: Sorry about the font. o.o This got transfered from a word document so... It looks all big and spaced out. If you have any troubles reading it for whatever reason, tell me.

 

In the year 3012, all is not well. Each continent on earth is ruled by 12 people who call themselves “the Government” and work together to make decisions for the continent they are ruling. The continent never gets a choice in any matter, though the Government swears that they are being fair.

 

Then two groups of people show themselves. And they look human. They’re just… not.

 

The first group is known by the Government as the Cursers. The Cursers are a group of people who are able to curse somebody (this is a given). They are a shady group, and they refuse to give in to the Government (who demands that the Cursers work for them). Most of the Cursers are criminals or are planning against the Government.

 

The second group is known as the Cursed; those who have become victims of the Cursers. Those who are Cursed have one thing in common. Their right hand has a symbol that looks like a blue X on the palm of their hands. It is quite large, so the Cursed usually wear gloves. Each of the Cursed has some ability, most of the time, but it is rumored that their ability weakens them in some way afterwards. Because of their abilities, the Government likes using them as-sas-sins and spies. In fact, the Government mostly uses the Cursed to fight against the Cursers. However, some of the Cursed choose to work with the Cursers.

 

It is an ongoing battle between the Cursed, the Cursers, and the Government. And funnily enough, regular every day humans. For if a human finds out about the existence of the Cursed or the Cursers, they have to be locked up or as-sas-sinated. No easy battle for the humans either.

 

The Cursers are known for always acting reckless. It seems to be part of who they are. Each Curser has one “curse” that they can bestow on people. It gives that person an ability, but also will weaken the person in some way. This depends on how powerful the ability is. The more powerful the ability, the worse the cost that follows. It has been found that if they go two months without cursing somebody, they themselves will receive their own curse and become one of the Cursed. Apparently aside from being reckless they tend to hold long lasting grudges. Hence why they hate the Government so much. Very rarely is there a Curser who works for the Government. They are also very agile and flexible physically speaking.

 

The Cursed are either a Curser who hasn’t cursed somebody in two months and therefore become one of the Cursed, or a human who has been Cursed. They generally receive an ability of sorts, but it always costs them something after they use it. It could be a year of their life, slowly becoming blind in one eye… or it could be something simple, like suddenly losing a pencil or a pair of jeans, etc. Apparently, all of the Cursed are flexible and agile like their fellow Cursers. Also, it seems that it is very hard for one of the Cursed to feel guilty about anything.

 

Okay. Some rules. So you may play either one of the Cursed, one of the Cursers, somebody who works for the Government, or a human. Multiple and unlimited characters allowed. Do not bite off more than you can chew. This roleplay is literate. This means capitalization, punctuation, etc. Spelling always helps, but I understand the occasional typo. I also understand there is such thing as an edit button that helps you fix things when you see more than one typo in your post. *hint hint* I also expect that posts be around two good sized paragraphs in length. If you get writer’s block, I understand. ^^

 

If you want to play someone from who works in the Government or close to the Government, it might be easiest to roleplay as somebody who works for the police or something related (I know that might sound fail to some). But for the terms of this roleplay, it might be better. It would mean your character would be working for the Government and might have a job to track down the Cursers and/or find new Cursed people.

 

If you have an idea for the plot, rmail me… Feel free to make your character seem like he/she’s for one side, but turns out to be for the other. Go all out like that. If you are brewing a plot twist that will greatly affect the whole spin of the roleplay, do me a favor and rmail me first.

 

 

Please enjoy.

Make detailed characters. Please.

No swearing.

Violence and romance is encouraged.

No same-gender romance. I’m sorry. *says sincerely*

No killing unless you ask first.

No Mary Sues or anything of the sort.

**By “good picture” I mean if there’s a picture of this character and they have wings or a dress or something and you tell us “She looks like this, without the wings” then it’s not a good picture. ‘Kay? It’s perfectly acceptable if it’s something like hair color, though. ^^ I just want the picture to be a good representation of your character.

 

Hope you enjoy~!

OoC: Bump. Here's my characters. Again, this is from a word document. x3

Name: Jack

Gender: Male

Age: 19 going on 20

Appearance: The first thing that comes to people’s mind when they see Jack is: Omifreakinggosh he’s skinny. He stands at a slightly-taller-than-average height, which makes him look even skinner than he really is. And he wears tight clothing. Black skinny jeans and a white t-shirt on top, over which he wears a black jacket. In his left ear he wears a silver hoop earring “because it’s cool”. The second thing people notice are his brown eyes, his skin which is relatively pale, and his smile. Yes, he smiles a lot. Generally, a mischievous sort of smile. Like he knows something you don’t. Then the people will finally register his honey blonde hair that is straight and constantly falling into his eyes.

What are you: He is a Curser

State your angle: Guess. The Cursers. Naturally.

History: “It was painful and bloody. Let’s keep it at that, shall we?” is what he always says when somebody asks about his past. The truth is he probably doesn’t remember much of his far back past… or does he? He sometimes talks about a younger girl, possibly his sister. When asked about this girl, he promptly shuts up.

General Information: First of all… Jack is kind of arrogant. Like all Cursers, he’s reckless. And he happens to enjoy NOT working for the government. He acts kind most of the time, and it’s hinted he does have a soft side. Mind you, his kindness only stretches to a certain degree. He will curse somebody without hesitation when the time comes close. Jack’s “curse” that he gives people makes a person go completely blind. However, that person will be able to read the emotions from the people around them from that point onwards. He kind of doesn’t like “his curse” that he can give out because “it’s kind of wimpy”. But Jack is one very dangerous Curser. He uses his physical abilities to be one heck of a fighter. He has his eyes set on taking the Government down. And he’s not afraid to kill in the process.

Theme song: Cooler Than Me [xD just joking here]

-x-

Name: Rachel

Gender: Female

Age: 15, going on 16

Appearance: She has brunette hair that has natural red highlights mixed in with many fake violet ones. Her hair is long and straight and comes down to her waist. And probably the first thing that people notice are her blue eyes. They really stand out. They’re very dark. She prefers wearing simple things that are very modest (oh goodness, she hates v-necks and swim suits, unless they’re whole pieces). So most often she’s seen in blue-colored t-shirts from Aeropostale or something. And plain flair jeans, preferably dark washed. She wears earrings (dangly, usually silver) and silly bands and paints her nails black. She’s got a curvy body figure. And she’s short. Just 5 feet in height. Don’t let her appearances fool you though. She’s crazy athletic.

What are you: Cursed

State your angle: She works for the Government, even though she hates it.

History: Not much of one. She lived with her family which consisted of an older brother and a younger sister and two parents… and still does. Though they have no idea that she’s one of the Cursed and that she works for the Government. She plans on moving out of her house soon…

General Information: Though she’s 15, she seems like she’s older. She’s way ahead school-wise and seems like a good girl. She’s kind to everyone around her and blends in with people around her very well. She’s also shy when in a school setting. She makes friends with the teachers first. She reads the cl*censored*ics for fun and is even writing a fanfic for this book she’s obsessing over called The Hunger Games. But then there’s the Cursed side of her. The side of her that doesn’t feel guilt easily. Yeah, when away from the school and the family and all, she kills without hesitation. The Government finds likely Cursers and tells her to kill them and she does so without any hesitation. She’s got this curse than that makes her able to steal somebody’s luck. If she steals a lot of their luck, that person is more likely to fall prey to some “accident”. Or they simply won’t have good luck while fighting. And she gains that person’s luck that she stole for a short period of time. However, after this, she loses a memory. One that is dear to her. The more luck she takes, the more important the memory is. One time she even forgot about this very good friend who happened to save her life once upon a time.

OoC: And another character or two..

007-1-1-1.jpg

[since the pic won't show] 

 

Name: Amy

Gender: Female

Age: 17 

Appearance: See picture above. She’s average height. Mid-length brunette hair. She’s got a cute figure. As for the part of the picture you can’t see, she’s wearing jeans and a pair of old white tennis shoes. Simple. Just the way she likes it.

What are you: Human

State your angle: Well… Guess she’ll have to find out.

History: Her family is fairly poor. Amy blames it on the Government. They make it too hard for people in a bad situation to move up. At a very young age it was discovered she had talent for the piano and her parents wanted her to move up. And help the whole family move up. She lived in the middle of nowhere for a while in this small country town called Metlock. But as soon as her parents started pressuring her, she moved away at an early age. She knew how to drive and everything, so she just went. Now she lives in this tiny apartment in Convergence. She has work there (just a cashier at a café, part time).

General Information: She seems cold at first. Like she doesn’t want to get to know you. Truth is, she probably doesn’t. She wants to stay hidden. To be able to fly under the radar and nothing more. Somehow, that feeling is engraved on her. She doesn’t want any attention to be brought to her. She’s stubborn as well, and determined. Though the tough and cold side is the one she most often displays, she’s actually cheerful and optimistic. And in fact, though she hides it, she’s slightly childish. She loves cute things and stuffed animals and small things. She still plays the piano whenever possible. She has a keyboard in her apartment.

Theme song: Jeux d’eau

Name: Ryka Moonakye.

Gender: Female.

Age: 18.

Appearance: [Deion is preferred, but if it’s a **good pic, go ahead and use it] She's just about average height, but a bit taller. She has long black-silver hair that usally is wavy with a beautiful silver flower in it. She has deep, crystal blue eyes and a pale white skin color. She wears a silver and white striped shirt and a silver jacket. Her pants are a faded blue color with holes, she wears black and white sneakers, a silver necklace around her neck, and a black glove on her right hand.

What are you: [human, Curser, Cursed, etc] Cursed.

State your angle: [for the Government, not for, for the Cursers…] She doesn't work for the goverment, and the price on her ability is she gets very sick, (extreamly painful and very close to death) when the moon is full.

History: [optional] Ryka's parents died when she was four, because her parents were cursed, and the price was death. Ryka then lived with her foster parents for ten years, then she moved to a small town called Madison. She works at an animal shelter and get payed about ten dollars a day.

General Information: [State your character's ability, or their curse they can give out, etc... And just general info and maybe some stuff about personality if you wish] Ryka's ability is that she can speak to animals. Her personality could easily be described in one word: Shyness. She hates to be around people, and just kind of hides in the shadows. She is very kind to animals, and any people that she will talk to. She rarely shows her fierce side, but when you she shows it, it usally get bad.

Theme song: [very much optional ^^] I made this song up, mostly for Ryka. It's called Silver moonlight. http://www.fileswap.com/dl/gu3UBUCM/Silver_moonlight.wma.html

Name: Payten Miller

Gender: Female

Age: 19

Appearance:

(Just a little more blonder than white, but you get the idea.)

What are you: Curser

State your angle: Not for the government.

History: She was born to a family that obeyed the

 government (her father being a policeman) though

 always despised their ways. And when she learned she

 was a Curser, she was almost happy. It gave her an

 excuse to be set apart from the government. She ran

 away from home before her parents could find out, and

 hasn't seen her family ever since.

General Information: Payten likes to describe her curse

 as the "Jinx" curse. You know, like that little game you

 used to play with your friends? How if you guys said

 something at the same time and one of you said "Jinx,"

 the other person couldn't talk until someone said their

 name. Payten's curse works somewhat like that.

 Basically she can bestow a curse upon someone that

 makes them unable to talk unless someone should say

a certain word to them. If that word is spoken directly

 to them, the curse is broken. Only Payten knows what

 the word is thus far, and she's not planning on telling

 anyone anytime soon...

Theme song: N/A

OoC: Ah, Sona, I like the themesong. xD Btw, by "state your angle" I mean "who is your character for" or "who do they work for". Also, if your character is cursed, you gain an ability but must pay a certain price. The ability weakens you in some way. And a person who is cursed does not give out curses. Just making sure you understand~ ^^

You both are accepted. :)
