    Default [M] Stairway to Heaven (OOC)

    This RP is rated mature for drug reference and usage, violence, strong language and sexual themes.

    In the very near future, a new recreational drug known as mana has hit the streets, and is gathering acclaim. There is quite a bit of mystery surrounding the small blue capsule such as its manufacturer, ingredients and origin. However, it's become a phenomenon both in drug culture and in the public eye. The hallucinations mana produces have shown to be exceptionally vivid, people even describe them as "heavenly', and there have been no recorded bad trips or relapses. Films, novels, songs and plays have all been written to celebrate the way it supposedly liberates the creative spirit. People who would have never even considered doing drugs before tried mana: it was pretty expensive, sure, but even a single 5 gram capsule was enough for optimum results. The government is on the moral fence, and the FDA can't come up with anything wrong with it... so what's the big deal?

    Well, mana is deadly. According to several independent studies, the 5 gram dose should be killing anyone who ingests it. As noted, however, everyone who has taken the drug is still very much alive. The reports are filed away and the scientists are laughed back to their labs with a significantly large chunk taken out of their funding.

    Fast forward to December 31st, 2015. Mana has been in the public eye for a little over a year now, and it is still being circulated to New Year's Eve parties even at this very moment. Some people sit alone in their homes with a bowl of chips, swearing to make resolutions. Others are with friends or at parties, drinking and dancing. Others still are waiting for the ceremonial ball to drop, pulling their partners close for the first kiss of 2016. At 12:00:01 on January 1st, 2016, everyone the world over who had ever taken mana relapsed. It wasn't a pleasant experience in the least, unlike their actual trips. In fact, they were all visited by a strange figure who pulled a light from their chests, uttering a single phrase.

    "You have __ days to end the world."

    Some heard 0, and were instantly turned into shadowy beasts with scythe-like claws, ripping and tearing into those around them. Others heard 1, 2, onwards, and knew they too were going to become beasts. It seemed like a horrible nightmare, but as the hellhounds killed more onlookers, everyone became more and more aware that it was real. People who took mana more often before this great ordeal began claiming that the figure said more to them, and they marketed themselves as oracles and survival experts.

    Standing in the streets, watching the world descending into anarchy, what will you do? Did you take mana, and do you believe that you can, will or should take part in this homemade apocalypse... or do you just want to see if there's some truth to the soul-selling and some way to win it back? Are you clean, and hoping for survival, or using the chaos to your advantage for some selfish gains?

    I'll be posting my own CS soon, and let me know if something's unclear or if you're interested but need more details, etc.

    Hey-ho Ketsora! I'm here again and joining this one too!

    Name: Victoria Selestes
    Age: 22
    Sex: Female
    Appearance:
    Spoiler: Victoria 

    Victoria is a young woman with a height of 5'10" and weight of 92lbs. Her eyes are red and her hair is long and waved until her waist. Covering her eyes she wears lare, black sunglasses She dresses into a simple dark red dress, white,knee-high socks and high-heeled boots. SHe also carries a big kitchen knife and a cleaver with her.
    Mana Use: Victoria used to take Mana many times a day.
    Affiliation: Even tought having her own thoughts about the Hellhounds, Victoria can be put into the same locker as the raptures.
    Personality: Emotinless girl with the habit of hurting herself as well as smiling all the time. Victoria talks to only few persons who she has decided to deserve to hear her voice, to the others she just writes notes.
    Victoria is also a person with an eternal grudge toward those who "hurted" her in someway (it can be something totally trivial like eating the last piece of meat) and doesn't rest until she has killed that person (even thought because of having a quiet bad memory, she often forgets peoples faces after some time.).
    Even thought being totally emotionless in normal situations, Victoria has the habit of totally losing her senses when getting angry or engaging combat. That time it is only wise to run because she doesn't even care about herself if hit by a gunshot. Luckily, those moments are usually quiet rare because she doesn't interact with people often.
    Background: Victoria is an orphan. She was abandoned shortly after her birth and left into an orphage of a small church near New York. There she lived the first 16 years of her life, learning in the school of the church as well as becoming a Sister-in-training, as she wanted to become a nun in the near by monestary.
    Sadly for her, Victoria's parens appeared on her 17 birthday. They were both successful business people who worked in the medical and electronical market. Victoria disagreeded to go with them, but after bribing the father of the church her parents managed to get her thrown out of the orphage. The father said that she had parents and so she didn't need to be there.
    This incident make her angry, unbelivable angry toward all people of the world, she had the feeling everyone handled her like they wished, she was their plaything that could be thrown away as it wasn't liked anymore. The Victoria made the decision to become a real plaything with no feelings, only following orders of those who wanted her to do what asked. She wandered few months in the "slums" of New York, dong all kind of immoral work from dealing drugs to murder and selling herself.
    Three months after her parents had visited Victoria, she was stading behind their door, ragged, dirty and full of wounds but still smiling, an unnatural but beatiful smile. Her parents accepted into their house in which she lived for the next few years, she studied when asked, made sport when asked and dated those who were said. She never said no to her parents and always did what she was said, it was like she had no emotions at all, everything was just a show, she played the roles which were wished and acted as those who she should act, as the perfect daughter.
    Then, two years ago, someone of her boyfriends (she usually had about 5, nobody of them knew about eachother) that time wanted to try Mana with her, of course she accepted like she always did.
    It was amazing, her whole excistent was then nothing without Mana. She took it 4 times a dayin order to hold the feeling that she taught was extremely good, the feeling of having a heart, which she had lost so long ago...
    Then as the New Years eve 2015 came, Victoria was on her parents Silvester party, as always putting on the fake smile she always had on, deceiving everyone on the party as well as herself. Her soul cried, it did nothing else than cried, always.
    As the Clock hit 12 O'Clock, Victoria, as well as everyone else who had used Mana relapsed, colliding to the ground. Victoria, who had used Mana so much saw the mysterious creature in the light clearer than ever as it said to her;
    "Do not fear the death, you have already died. You just don't know it, just like nobody else does..."
    Then the creature wanished and Victoria returned into the reality just to realise the chaos what the people who had turned into Hellhounds had made. Torn corpses laid all around the floor as well as some dead carcasses of the Hellhounds which were killed by the security before they were killed themself.
    Victoria walked around the hall, smiling as she looked at the corpses and wounded humans. Her smile was maybe the most horrifying thing to see if you were laying on the ground without an arm or a leg.
    Then Victoria found her father. He hadn't been turned into a Hellhound jet like her mother but he hadn't much time and he was wounded. Victoria walked pass the big buffet table toward her father, smiling that horrific smile of her like one of those scary looking old dolls. She grabbed a big, sharp knife from the table which was actually used to cut meat.
    Victorias father whined and plead as his daughter neared him. He tried to crawl away as he had no legs anymore but her daughter just stepped on his back. Then Victoria took the knife, raised it over her head and hit on her father, again, again and again. She hit him in the back more than 50 times, laughing in joy as her white dress turned into dark red from the blood.
    After tearing her father apart, Victoria finished off all the other people on the party, still smiling and laughing. She then turned to the dead Hellhounds and ripped them into pieces. Victoria grabbed the "heart" and started to eat it. With every bit she took, she felt better and better, just like she felt when she took Mana. She ate the hearts of all Hellhounds which were still there. After that, she left the penthouse in which the party had been. As she exit the elevator, there were police officers waiting down in the lobby. They wanted to know what had happened upstairs and why Victoria was all blood drenched. Victoria didn't answer but neared the polices and just before them she looked up and said;
    "They are all dead. Some of them were killed by those beasts... And those who survived... I killed them all!" She smiled, showing the strange red coloured eyes which were originally green and markings among her right eye, making the polices flinch.
    "Stop right there. You are under arrest." Said the other police as they backed away from the girl.
    "Could it be you are AFRAID of me?" Victoria smiled like somekind of doll from hell.
    Few minutes later Victoria exit the building holding her side from which dripped a bit blood and walked along the street toward the Broadway.

    Other:
    Victoria is posessed by the tought that by eating the hearts of Hellhounds, she could become superior to all other humans. The eyes of her as well as the strange mosaic markings next to her eye are side-effects of eating the flesh of the Hellhounds. She has no super powers of any sorts, she just has the strange coloured eyes as well as the markings.



    I love psychical unbalanced characters, for that reason this one is one too!

    Xannak, your CS is brilliant. I am basically in awe, and impressed that it took you 30 minutes alone.

    Needless to say, Victoria is accepted, and I hope some others will be as enthused about this RP!

    _____

    Name: Edward *Eddie* Carver
    Age: 27
    Sex: Male
    Appearance:
    Spoiler: Eddie 

    He used to dress a lot more formally as a detective, now that civilization is falling apart there's not much reason to. Yes that the ghost girl is his sister
    Mana Use: Never
    Affiliation: None, Eddie hasn’t and never will trust a gang
    Personality: A bit of a jokester, he never takes things too seriously and usually deflects anything too personal with humor. He enjoys helping others, and usually goes out of his way to do so his time as a cop instilling him a deep sense of duty. He’s dogged in pursuing the truth

    Background: When Eddie was three years old, his nine year old sister was run over by a car, while too young to remember the event this would nevertheless have an affect on his life. He lived with his single mother, and his six year old brother Henry. His mother demanded Henry watch out for Eddie keeping him safe and watching him. Henry was an obnoxious spiteful kid, the kind that pulled the braids of little girls or threw fire crackers at dogs, but he watched out for Eddie and they were inseperable. It was Henry who got him into trouble and it was Henry who got him into smoking. They separated as they became adults Eddie went on to become a cop, losing contact with his brother for two years.

    Henry came back though asking for a place to crash, and he brought with him an addiction to heroin. Eddie found out and there was much screaming and arguing but eventually Eddie let him stay regardless. He was his brother after all and had always watched out for him. Eventually Eddie tried it too smoking it of course, he argued that smoking it hardly count it wasn’t like they were like those junkies that snorted the stuff. Eventually though, Henry started snorting and when Eddie found out the same argument started with the same conclusion he wouldn’t kick him out. Eventually he started snorting as well, and he couldn’t believe how prudish he had been it wasn’t like they were those junkies that popped their veins full of the stuff right? But eventually he started injecting too.

    His work suffered as he spent more and more time with his brother getting high. He was in danger of being kicked out when Henry ran into trouble with a dealer. After searching for his missing brother for most of the day Eddie found his severed head in a gutter. Horrified and full of rage, he put himself entirely into getting revenge instigating a bust and personally killing the ringleader. He eventually got clean and became a detective in the Narcotics ring of all things. It was around this time that attention came on this new drug called Mana.

    For some reason he hated the drug and was all for having it banned, but when it didn’t happen he quite becoming a private detective. He studied the drug finding any research notes on the drug he could find. He was baffled by how poisonous it was but not a single death. Things didn’t go anywhere until New Years. He had been at home, sleeping when civilization was going to hell. He now wanders the street interviewing whoever he could about the mysterious man the users see in their relapse trying to piece the puzzle together.
