********​

...in The Beginning, The Heavens and The Earth sprang forth from The Presence.

...and The Earth was without form, and void, and The Spirit of The Presence dwelled over the waters.


But what happened in between?

Surely, most assuredly, The Presence did not create a formless mass when It could have crafted, in a heartbeat, fully realised, a living thriving cosmos. So when The Heavens and The Earth sprang forth from The Presence... was it a trial run? A prototype which, somehow, failed terribly?

Perhaps it was that failure that destroyed it, that rendered it formless and void all over again, these Proto-Heavens, this Proto-Earth. Or perhaps it failed so terribly that at Its Word, The Presence's Proto-Cosmos was commanded to be nullified, that It might start afresh.

But. What happened in between?

What was this world like, this world that was not meant to be, this world that died aborning?

What brilliant creatures roamed its surface, and what formidable civilisations rose in its light?

This is the story of that world between the worlds.

This is a story of angels and demons and mortals, though perhaps not like our world would conceive of them. This is the story of a struggle for global identity, searching for their place and their role in a brand-new Universe with rules not yet defined.

This is a story of love and of lust and friendship and enmity and rivalry.

But most of all, this is a story of sexuality and spirituality.

This is a story of Faith and a story of Carnality.

...because here, in this world, where only the rules are without form and void, do demons not act always demonically, do angels not always act angelically.

The absolutes are not yet set in stone. And the temptation to use this time, this time of ambiguity to be naughty... this temptation is very strong indeed.

Demons are not imprisoned in Hell, nor do Angels require permission to depart from Heaven.

They dwell upon The Proto-Earth in an awkward kind of harmony. There's a bipartisanship, a definite divide between the sides, but neither do they fight with tooth and nail and claw and sword. Sometimes there is love between angel and demon, and frequently there is lust.

On this world also, this Proto-Earth, dwell mortals, though these mortals are often infused with an energy one might call "magic," and the vast and storied species that crisscross the world are far more diverse than the world we know.

Animals can resemble humans and walk on two legs and speak the tongues of man. Beasts we would call "myth" are prevalent, even thriving, basilisks and hippogriffs and unicorns and such.

There are humans. There is an Atlantis, still proud and tall above the waves. There is a Babylon, and its grandeur far surpasses the later civilisation to take its name.

There is technology and there is mysticism and there is romance and there is intrigue.

God is still playing dice with The Universe. And The Devil is enjoying the ride.

We stand upon the cusp of the end of this world. The clock is ticking, and "the real world" is soon to take its place. This world is on its downward slope... It has existed for ten thousand years and only for ten thousand years and its beings are convinced this playground will never end.

These are The Latter Days of The World Between The Worlds.

Who will you be?

Name: Chastity Nicollette
Race: Mortal/Demon Hybrid
Affiliation: Neutral Hedonist
Personality/History:
Chastity-- called "Chas" --unlike the true angels and demons who walk Proto-Earth, knows not Hell and she knows not Heaven, she knows only the playground. Born of the coupling of an incubus and a mortal woman, she was raised with a heart of gold and a soul of lust. Literally fueled by sexual activity, she eats no food nor drink but thrives and drives from being made to orgasm and causing others to orgasm. Indeed, while this is a source of nourishment for her, it's also something of an addiction... as much as she would often prefer to be monogamous, she must have a varied diet in order to survive, even prowling the streets at night for new and interesting lovers.

She possesses the extrasensory ability to "read" a person's sexual disposition. More intuitive than anything else, this gift permits her to tell if a person is pent-up sexually or experimental, or predatory... while she cannot actually determine a person's orientation at a glance, she can tell if they are open to seduction or if they are closed to it. (For instance, she will not seduce a man who would prefer to remain committed to his wife, nor will she take a lover who is ill-prepared by youth and upbringing to withstand the rigours of a sexual relationship.)

Half-demon, she is immune to sickness and fatigue and poison, and she is remarkably strong and resistant to injury.

Her eyes glow when she is passionate. Her eyes glow rather frequently.

Perhaps interestingly, she possesses the somewhat unique ability to fall hard for any being that she's with, though this can be a gift and a curse: she loves every one of her lovers, and she expresses friendship through sex.

She dwells in the apartments of The Citadel of Atlantis, in full view of the surrounding azure-blue ocean. She lives there with her girlfriend, Gwenyvyre, who, luckily for Chastity, is remarkably understanding.

http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l325/chasnicollette/index.jpg

Name: Gwenyvyre
Race: Naiad/Dryad Hybrid
Affiliation: Neutral Hedonist
Personality/History:
Gwenyvyre-- called "Gwen" --led a fairly idyllic existence out in the far natural reaches of The Verdant, a woodland the size of a continent, trees and mountains and waterfalls for weeks of travel in every direction. Her innocence, however, would soon give way to intrigue, as Chastity would stumble upon her in this world, and her burning yearning curiosity to know the world that Chastity knew would cause her to travel with her back to Atlantis. Since then, Gwen has somehow maintained a certain quality of serenity and wholesomeness... despite often participating with her highly-sexual lifemate in a vast assortment of carnal adventures.

Lavishly curvaceous and unthinkingly sensual, Gwen is the product of a coupling between a Dryad and a Naiad. The circumstances of her birth are as curious as they are controversial, given that nymphs are always only ever female. Like Dryads and Naiads, she is a Nature spirit, and she thrives on the worship and approval and affection of others. (This is fortunate, because the right kind of sex can be all of those things, and this means she derives almost as much affirmation and sustenance from romps with lovers as does her lifemate Chastity.) Unlike Dryads and Naiads, she is not permanently bonded to either a single tree or a single source of water, but communes with all waters and with all plants, this providing the other half of her own balanced "diet."

(Granted, in the stony-gold urban mystech environment of Atlantis, communion with Nature is often difficult, but to compensate Chas and Gwen keep a vast assortment of houseplants in their apartment, and take frequent showers together, and this seems to suffice. Also, Gwen will often visit her mothers in The Verdant, and this will also help to sustain her.)

She possesses a limited ability to control plants and to manipulate water.

Ageless and kind, Gwen loves Chas dearly and would do just about anything for her, even as she knows Chas feels the same towards her.

********​

...this is a bit of exploratory fiction. Even I'm trying to figure out where it's going from here. There may be a little bit of fighting-- clashing of swords between angels and demons who aren't quite abiding by the unspoken truce --a little bit of philosophy-- there are those who feel in their bones that the world is ending soon, and there's a struggle to cope with that sensation of mortality --and a lot of beautiful characters romping together in the sack.

In case you haven't guessed already, this will be highly anime-influenced, though it's not derived from any specific anime. Almost anything goes. Super-powers, dark magic, paladins and blackguards, normal humans and fur-bearing anthropomorphs and winged centaurs.

But bear in mind, this world is not inherently war-like. It's an awkward co-existence, but murder is nearly unheard-of and full-fledged conflict is utterly taboo. There can be violence, true, brawling in the streets, fisticuffs between suitors and sparring between warriors and disagreements galore... but in the ten thousand years of this world's existence, no-one has ever died at the hands of another.

That being the case, there's a certain kind of trust... even of complete strangers... amongst the peoples of Proto-Earth that our Earth lacks.

If you're interested in playing a character in this world, please PM me a bio influenced by the ones posted here, and I'll see what I think. Granted, I don't guarantee approval? But even as I reserve the right to tell you "no," I am also very open to ideas.

(More in-depth histories of this world and its sectors can be provided if need be, but I prefer to leave as much as I can up in the air.)

Whaddaya say, folks? :D

Human Form
Partially Transformed
Fully Transformed

Name: Rand Oldham
Race: Lycanthrope
Affiliation: Dualism
Personality/History: Centuries ago, Rand's family tree consisted of 'normal' humans known primarily amongst their peers for having been well versed in the studies and usage of the magic arts. Though the story of their misfortune is a long one, with many details having gone through expected adjustments during the extended passage of time, it boiled down to a dangerous, yet, ultimately petty feud between one of his ancestors and another magical practitioner over the courting of a woman. In the end, his bloodline was forever cursed with having to carry the burden of the beast.

Magic and mysticism would forever remain a steady fixture of his families legacy, yet, Rand himself possesses only a basic understanding of it. Also, while being a werecreature is generally accepted the same as most any other species or breed, this doesn't prevent it from coming with its own inherent social hazards. He's capable of changing between a purely human form and one which takes on wolf-like characteristic at will, but requires a small degree of greater concentration in maintaining a human form at night. This is especially true during full moons, where it's near impossible as the late night drags on.

Outside of a preference for meat which tends to grow healthier at night, his appetite is about the same as any other carnivore. During a full moon is the only time him and most of his kind feel the strongest urges for giving into the need of a hunt. Again, like most of his kind, this urge is ultimately capable of being suppressed or controlled by oneself without incident. Aside from an 'unnatural' hunger for food at night, comes a desire for mating. Most nights are simple enough, with Rand's heightened senses simply taking greater notice of a woman's scent or the curves of their soft body. During a full moon, however, his body's desire to mate can become embarrassingly obvious; particularly the later it gets. It's because of this, that he'll normally avoid contact with any females during the late hours of a lunar filled sky.

Aside from repressing these urges because of an understandable need for avoiding trouble, he rather dislikes not having full control over his behavior or giving into what others would define as an expected part of living with this curse. At the same time, he's often tempted toward giving into them. Not just to satisfy a natural hunger, but for the simple pleasure and thrill of it. He's of the general belief that everything has its own 'evil' and 'good' sides inherit to its nature or design, with Lycans being amongst the most obvious examples. To say a good portion life has been one of much inner conflict would make for a gross understatement.

Generally uninterested in being sedentary, he's traveled around the world a fair amount over the years; having met many an interesting character of different types. A number of whom, he tends to believe, have proven as rather clear examples of his own view about the world around him. While not one to openly push his ideals onto others without proper provocation, he does have a slight tendency toward being a little stubborn or thickheaded once he's gotten started; occasionally to such a degree where he may hurt the chances of getting his thoughts across.​
 
Azrakel, son of Drazrakel, Lord of Chains

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j262/Taki980/AnimeMaleMage.jpg


Name: Azrakel
Race:Mortal/Demon Hybrid
Affiliation: Neutral Hedonist/Sadist
Personality/Background

The byproduct of a Demon Lords dalliance with a human sorceress, Azrakel has known power his entire life. Magic came easily to him, and he grew into his power early. The simple spells he mastered early, and by the time his voice started to change he was moving onto the more advanced magics. Also at puberty’s onset he discovered that he could gain nourishment, and power from lust, specifically lust tinged with fear.
He had his Fathers ability to manifest and control chains of all shapes and sizes, and his fathers liking for bondage, and sadism. But he also had his mothers honor, and gentleness. As he grew in years and power both were angels riding his shoulders. On his fathers side he could take what he wanted, gaining his pleasure and power with no thought of his victim, but to date he has never given in to that hunger. There are plenty of women who enjoy pain with their pleasure, and Azrakel is very very good at recognizing them.

Currently Azrakel is entering his thirty-fifth year, and his second in Atlantis. He owns a small tower on the western side of the city by a park, and lives alone.

You guys are doing brilliantly.

Never in a ten thousand years did I expect these kinds of fantastic characters.

And we've got more coming, yet, I can't even. Elucidate. (Woohoo!)

I've already done serious work on the opening IC post, got it about half done, I should hopefully be posting that Wednesday or Thursday, post-meridian EST.

Thank you for your patience, and thank you for your brilliance, and I love you all.

We'll get this party started ere long.

Much love. :heart:

-Mattie-
 
I had decided to play two characters, since I really do like both of them. XD Couldn't make up my mind anyways. So, here's more love.


Name: Ambrosia
Race: Phoenix
Affiliation: Neutral Hedonist
Personality/History: Ambrosia lived for a long time, as long as she could remember and more. Being as the mystical firebird, she had isolated herself in a forgotten region to ensure her own peace and solitude. After one resurrection and another, she had lived longer than most creatures would. Despite her resurrection, her new self would have the recollection of her past lives and therefore, she would never forget any of her past lives after she was reborn.

In her past lives, she had gathered enough knowledge about magic, enough to allow her to change into a form of a human, and since then, she had lived a life as a human for years. Of course, she did not forget her true origin, and sometimes, she would revert back into her original form since she feared that if she stayed as a human form too long, she would lose her animalistic instincts.

Because of her infinite knowledge and wisdom, she would come off as a matured lady with thick air of elegance and high dignity, though it didn’t mean that she didn’t know the arts of seduction. At first meeting, she was known to be rather friendly and always adorning a warm smile upon her face even when facing a bad situation. It was known that Ambrosia have patience like a saint, and therefore not much would make her upset or angry.

Being a mythical bird, like known in the myths, she has the ability to regenerate when hurt or wounded by foe and therefore, almost making her invincible and immortal. And it is said that her tears could heal a person, even curing any poison or saving the said person from death. Other than that, she possessed the power to manipulate and create fire.

After a long journey of traveling around the world, she had decided to settle and therefore, she had chosen Atlantis. Currently, she owned a rather spacious home and landed a temporary job as a local bar singer. She had become rather popular since she started working, for she did possess a wonderful and serene singing voice and her ethereal beauty had attracted many customers into the bar.

Name:
Cain Einfrost
Race: Angel/Demon Hybrid
Affiliation: Dualism
Personality/History: A child born of a coupling between a male demon and a female angel, he had been treated quite differently because of his unfamiliar origin. For his sake, his mother had decided to reside on the Proto-Earth and raised him there. Therefore, he had never entered the holy grounds of heaven nor knew the grounds of Hell.

He was raised by her mother, and therefore, he had a very kind soul with an equal heart to match with his soul. He never knew the true identity of his father, but he soon found out the difficult way when he had reached puberty. Despite half of his origin was to be from the angelic background, half of him belonged to the demonic side. His lust seemed to be insatiable, and he found himself indulging in lust and sinking deeper into the dark sexual world. He soon realized he had an inner demonic side inside himself which he couldn’t control.

But fortunately, he had his mother’s help and therefore, his insatiable lust was controlled by a pair of earrings pierced upon both his ears. But of course, from time to time, he would allow himself to just enjoy the sexual encounter but not allowing himself to get too rough with any of his partner.

Because of his special background, he had looks which could be mistaken to be rather angelic and seemed to be rather too perfect for a normal mortal to have. His golden eyes, though, told a different story and his eyes could be said to be flaring with a fiery soul within.

He has the ability to fly if he allowed his pair of black wings to be revealed, and also he has some knowledge in the use of magic. Being from the backgrounds of angel and demon, he has the ability to regenerate when injured or harmed by any enemies as well as the power to heal.

Cain could be rather mistrusting to people he didn’t know well enough and would act aloof, and sometimes a bit too cold, but when warmed up, he will interact a bit more friendly and wouldn’t mind a good conversation. He currently worked as a bartender at a local bar in Atlantis, the same bar where Ambrosia was currently working as well. Therefore, the two had met and became good friends. Despite Ambrosia’s interest in forming something more, Cain refused though the temptation was definitely there.
 
Name: Tankrit Anetello
Race: Angel (A member of the Archon or ruler class.)
Hedonist: Neutral
Appearance:http://www.olografix.org/krees/dfnet/pic/relat/chrisbotti.jpg


History and Personality: Tankrit Anatello is an Archon angel, and rarely seen without his trumpet and lantern.

It is his job far later in the world to sound in Raphael's choir to announce the coming of the great soul march, and to sound reveille in the fourth battle of the opening of the third book.

However this is far far far into the future, so for now he spends his time in Atlantis with hardly a care in the world. Though he is provided for by heaven, and as an angel not requiring sustenance of any kind, Tankrit still takes a lot of pleasure playing his horn on the streets and in the taverns of Atlantis, for any old change or a even a simple smile. it is a particular joy to play in accompianiment to talented singers, and he relishes the opportunity to do so.

More recently Tankrit has been experimenting with carnality finding it not a forbidden fruit but certainly a sumptuous one. While unlearned he is eager to taste any all flesh provided to him.

As an Archon angel he is very fair, close to 6 foot and his skin is a perfect marble color. His hair is kept short though he's easily able to allow it growth. He has four wings, two smaller ones adorning his ankles and the impressive white eagle ones on his back. Like all angels he is offered the protections of heaven and cannot become ill or carry disease of any kind. He heals exceptionally quickly and is immune to flame. In times of danger he can defend himself though as an Archon he is not a warrior caste and would prefer to simply fly away or transport himself nigh instantly back to heaven or other safety.
 
It begins.

:: grins sheepishly ::

I'ma go back and post a link to The IC up at the top of the page.

I hope that this first post will flesh things out a tiny bit, and help those of you who are still brainstorming with little details I've neglected to provide before.

Those of you with approved bios can feel free to post.

I don't know how we're possibly going to get everyone into one place, heh, so there will probably be a lot of free-roaming stuff at least at first. Hopefully, the landmarks I've provided will help people find places to meet. The Uncommon Square, for instance, and the apartment complex, and such...

And I hope she doesn't mind me saying so, but there's also the bar that SIlver's crafted for Cain and Ambrosia, this could serve quite well as a meeting-place, should one become necessary. And I'm sure we'll find more such places as we go.

:: grins! ::

And away we do go.
 
yayyyyy

once me & my little man finish watching Iron Man i'll get cracking on a intro post

First things first. Of course, I understand.

:: grins! ::

Looking forward to it!

Also, I think Chronnie is to be congratulated on his pic choice?

I didn't think any real person could look so perfectly at home in a thread populated by anime and comic-book characters? But Chris Botti looks so coolly angelic in that shot I'm just sort of blown away.

Good work, M'sieu Tenko! :: applauds ::
 
ok, FINALLY saw the Avengers reference & Mr. Jackson as Nick Fury!!!!!


(didn't catch it in the theater. kiddo had held it in as long as he could)



(now to do some reading & writing!)

now I'm reading the IC page & once my spawn is in his bed under his batman covers i'll start writing


:D
 
i've had a few days walking to get this worked out in my head. one good thing about my job, lots of time to think.
 
i've had a few days walking to get this worked out in my head. one good thing about my job, lots of time to think.

one bad thing about my job: it's the same task over and over and over

one good thing about my job: I get hit on by the same cute girl day in and day out (the fact that she's my girlfriend probably has a lot to do with making my day that much better)
 
Also!

She gets to hit on you, which probably makes her day pretty well perfect.

XD
 
CHAS!!!!!!

*GLOMP!!!!!*

Hiya!!!!!

very cool mix of technology & magic. let me know if I need to edit anything please.
 
attachment.php

Name: Cieri Defant
Race: Pureblooded Demon
Affiliation: Hedonist


Personality/Background:
Cieri is fascinated with the ideas of pain, pleasure, and the thin line that can be found between the two. Mortals are an even greater amusement to her, finding that they seem to have the thinnest boundaries between these two extremes, making it so invigorating to walk that thin line with them.

A pureblooded demon, she can be seen as rather ignorant and self-absorbed- as in the nature of most demons- but she also has a curiosity in exploring the notion of human emotions, sometimes 'pretending' as though she herself has such an ability to feel and react as mortals do. This, of course, only seems to last until her attention is drawn elsewhere, or she finds herself bored with the idea.

With her demonic background, she has the ability to change shape and appearance as she pleases, as well as teleportation, which is usually done in a cloud of black smoke, a tell-tale sign of the demoness' arrival and departure.

...Hope that fits into the lines you were talking about, Chas...(?)

The bio is still neat as sweetest pie.

But for some reason I can't see your attachment picture? (Though I can see by looking at your post's quoted text that there's an attachment in there for definite.)

o_O

My computer is Ubuntu and also dumb.
 
I have no idea where that post WENT.
I can see pic, but it must be in limbo somewhere then.

Retry. One sec.
