The Building Rules:
We have rules? Well, only a few. They're guidelines, really...

* HAVE FUN!

* Your character does NOT have to be a personification of your nation.

* New characters get an apartment within the Building to themselves. You can stay there or eventually find a roomie to share an apartment with.

* You can play your characters as either serious or light. We're a mixed group.

* Got a problem with a player? Take it to that player in TG to resolve it.

* It's a fast-moving thread. It's okay to ask "where is everyone and what happened while I was gone?" in the OOC thread.

* Please save earth-shattering adventures until the weekends. Earth-shattering would be any side-story that affects the entire house (blowing up the building, planet-wide invasions, world destruction, etc). Minor stuff (zombie attacks, localized plagues, genderbenders, etc) can be ignored by players who are offline.

* You don't have to play everyday. Play as you can, according to your schedule.

*What kind of character can I play: We have anthros, velociraptors, gods, demons, angels, cyborgs, robots, magic users and mystical beings, warriors/soldiers/super soldiers, average mortals, A.I.s, thieves, spies, emperors, mad scientists, and whatever Bones and his brothers are. Anime seems to be a big theme, followed by offshoots of various pantheons and fiction.

Who owns this thread:
No one, not even me (unless there’s a problem that needs to be addressed to the mods. I grant equal permission to the original founder, Dabfia.)

Knick knack Dabfia's back, give the god a Drone; his old man is known as Bones.

Here we go, again!

Love,
Swith

RP Locations
The Building
Current location of our madness. The Building is in a colder climate. The nation it's in is never named and not important. It's bigger on the inside than on the outside and it seems to heal itself. There's a janitor. The interior construction appears differently to each resident (tile vs wood floors vs carpet, metal staircases vs concrete vs wood) etc.

Common Areas

This is where everybody seems to flock, including those with apartments that have kitchens. Breakfast is usually waffles and omelets. Trashed frequently due to firefights, mobs, invasions, and Dab/Tsu. It's the only place in the building where the residents will kill you faster than the food.

These are the front and back yards. Used for Zalgofests, combat, snowball fighs and who knows what else. It has a shed in the back which most residents avoid for good reason.

Hallways. People roam them. Some people lurk in them. They have shadows to hide in.

Ground floor when you first enter the building. It has mailboxes by the front door (we never see the mailman but there's mail), a check in desk, a bench, an alcove with a payphone booth. It leads upstairs to the communal kitchen/dining room and rooms.

It's a roof. It's at the top of the building. It's used for gazing at the night sky, defending the building (weapons seem to change at the drop of a hat), housing Bran's helicopter, and a quiet place to drink. Stairs lead up to it from the inside.

Not So Common Areas and Other Information

Some residents are cheap bastards and only rent rooms. They use the communal dining room and kitchen for their meals. Apartments have full kitchens, bedrooms, and living space.

Cunning residents build secret labs in all sorts of odd places. They really aren't secret since everyone knows about them.

For whatever ungodly reason, some residents utilize tunnels and air vents to get around. Expect them to drop in anywhere at any time.

Some apartments exist in their own little universe and can not be penetrated by outside sources. These would include Bones & Co's apartment, Tony's shack, and The Sanctuary (Swith's apartment). Don't try. You'll only become frustrated... or die.

Things your characters would know since they live in the building...

The restaurant across the street, Chaos, is heavily protected. The outer appearance is just a thin veneer mixed with illusion. People walking in the front door enter a pocket universe. When under attack, the door closes and the restaurant pinches off from the current universe. We used it during the last invasion as a field hospital of sorts.

The apartment building heals itself, but some apartments inside also skip out of the current dimension. I believe Bones & Co is a pocket universe. The bomb shelter no longer is a pocket universe, but it's protected by a watered down version of the security system. Naomi and Ceril's place is a pocket universe. Tony's shack is an untouchable due to security defenses. Lots, most of them involve a comedic ending.

The building rooftop is set up to defend the building (Tsu and Dab have put guns there before so I'm sure those are still in place). There's a massive weapon in the back yard that GT's tech priests built for the last invasion. A force field can be quickly placed to further protect the building. It defeats magical/god powered attacks. It defeats nano, mechanical and supernatural infiltration. This came into play during the last invasion. It forms a sphere around the area, roughly ten blocks wide (to protect the gun while it was being built) but it can be scaled back so it doesn't hinder a story too much. Conventional weapons won't affect it.

Various characters have close ties to their nation's military. Tsu and Bran have both called in their forces for support in the past. Ceril's nation is backed by CSMs and Dark Mechanicum... FT, with all the firepower found in 40K plus Chaos gods. Bones also has an advanced military. Swith's is bio-based extreme FT. They destroy planets instead of wage ground/air battles... no one here wants them to spore! Everyone else is is pretty much anime-based.

There are more defenses... you'll encounter them as you go.

Other Places Near the Building

It's a bank around the corner. That is all.

Sometimes seen, but often not, these provide delivery service to the Building. They also provide deliverymen who end up eaten by certain residents.

It's a park nearby.

Located directly across the street from the building, Chaos is an upscale restaurant during the day, a club at night. Waitstaff are all NPCs (demons, succubi, incubi, etc) in human disguise. They bring drinks or food. They are non-combatants. They are not there to be tortured (looks at Tsu) or used in experiments (looks at NVE). Staff include two chefs (Head Chef: Bran, former HC: Cuisine) as well as a bartender (Superbia). You don't want to piss off the bouncer (Ceril) because he's authorized to kill you. The building is Dab/Tsu proof and nearly indestructible given that it's in its own little pocket universe. It's a neutral zone; magic and combat inside is not allowed.

BIO: An Eastern European Dictatorship that is usually always at war with the neighboring nations.

Bran
Branson "Bran" Nikanor: A Branriech Airforce mechanic who was born in the Capitol city in 1988, a few years before the collapse of the Soviet Union. He grew up most of his childhood with his sister until the Branriech Civil War, he was also one of the first generation of young boys conscripted into the reformed military at age 15. After a few years of distinguishing himself as an exemplary mechanic, he was eventually marked for death by the current High General. He escaped through an experimental teleporter and ended up in the Fallout shelter of the apartment.

Rylli
Born in 1989, Amaryllis "Rylli" Volkova grew up in a rural village. Her father was killed in the Soviet-Afghan conflict and her mother was killed in an auto crash a year later. Rylli then lived with her older brother who was shot down and killed in an Airforce skirmish. Having no other family, Rylli joined the Branriech Airforce and was trained as a Fighter pilot, she met Bran and fell in love with him her first year of flying. She would later defect from the Branriech and has taken up residence with Bran.

Natiya
Natiya Nikanor, on the left, Bran's older sister was born in 1986. She was nearly conscripted into the Branriech Military along with Bran, but a quick descision from their parents saved Natiya from what would have been frontline service. They sent her to America just before their untimely demise at the hands of a firing squad, she went to college for a few years riding on the Nikanor's vast fortune before dropping out and joining a PMC before quitting that too. Now she leads a quiet life in the upper floor of the apartment.

Rachelle
Born in 2006, Rachelle and her family were captured by the Drone Empire. During testing, her mother was presumed killed while her father protected her afterwards. During Rylli's escape, Rachelle and her father tagged along while all the other subjects were gunned down behind them. As the trio was making their way to salvation, D4 killed Rachelle's father in a fit of rage, leaving Rylli and Rachelle to board the shuttle and escape back to Earth. Not knowing the true fate of either of her parents (But knowing she won't see them again), Rachelle has tried her best to get used to Bran and Rylli as her new parents.

Kei
Kei, the creator of the Branriech and it's people. A Demon or a Goddess (No-one knows and she doesn't care.) who is directly responsible for the creation of the Branriech as a state and as a people.

Ceril
BIO: Unknown in age, Thaddeus Cerillium is quiet and intelligent but does have a sense of humor. He's currently employed by Swith. His primary function is classified; his secondary role is to protect Rachelle Nikanor. He carries the blessing of a god which aids him in his duties. He's ugly (even for a his people) and it doesn't bother him. He'll stick to the shadows and is usually nocturnal to avoid questions. Naomi is his lover.

Ceril shares an apartment (The Sanctuary) with Naomi, Eva, Marcus and Swith. The apartment is in a pocket universe and the insides don't match up with reality. His upstairs loft and workshop suit his needs.

Nation Name: The Kingdom of Churchilland

Thomas Quirkland
Thomas is over 1000 years old, but has the appearance of a 22 year old. He is physically strong but not 'pumped'. He is white and has a broad chin, his hair is ginger, medium length for a male and spikey. He has Dark Green eyes that seem large for the size of his face, his nose is a mixture between that of a stereotypical Roman and Celt (best described as a slope). He is around 6ft 5in. He often wears a green tank top with a white shirt and black tie, with grey jeans and black shoes.

Churchilland was born in 971, He often saw his mother and father, the kingdoms of Ingerland and Skoderland respectively, fight when he was young and so managed to take charge of his house. His young childhood made him relatively shy, taking comfort in literature, art and engineering, things he still is interested in today. He greatly admires the Churchillian Royal Family and is ready to defend them as a last resort. His cooking skills are limited to Churchillian meals (OOC: Similar to British food). He holds culture dear to his heart, yet finds certain types of music like dubstep and rap degenerate, he can't stand people who hate culture and engineering, calling them 'Practically Cavemen, if not worse!' His fondness for Tea is legendary and he offers it to anyone who comes and visits. Although he means well, he can act a tad odd sometimes, but he just smiles it off.

Dwelling: Full Apartment

Dab
Dab is the personification of the empire of Dabfia, even though he may not act like it sometimes, He also represents the hideous creatures in Dabfia, you might see him with mutants sometimes, or digging a hole to china, or fighting the revenge of nature, or blowing things up in his lab.

Apartment: glorified dorm room of sorts, and a Lab



Terminator Doctor
Dab's modified T-1000 terminator.

BIO - The Drone Empire, a Multi-Galactic Empire of machines which destroys or ruins all that are not like it, most units of the Empire act like a part of a hivemind, completely unwilling to disobey the wishes of the empire. Recently, the Empire has been expanding into the Milky way rapidly, and this planet is now a prime target for possible Purging, but after facing massive defeat, they won't be coming back for a while. The Data Archives


Dani
Really, she was once a fully robotic being, but due to necessary intervention, she has since been out into a human body.. mostly human, anyway. She is quite good with constructing devices or computers, pulling from her memories as a Drone, and has a profound hate for birds. All birds. She also seems to lack a large sense of what is right and what is wrong, accompanied by other traits that add to her strange insanity.

The Progeny
The Progeny is yet another attempt by the Drone Empire to survey and sabotage Earth's relatively primitive yet impressive defense array, but he is notably different from his predecessors due to the Immortallian technology attributed to his creation from Caligulus. He has an unknown array of weapons and various capabilities, though some including telepathy, telekinesis, technopathy and shape shifting. In addition, he possesses nearly unlimited resources to conduct his operations, and is quite calculated in his actions. Failure is not acceptable this time. Having taken up the identity of "Peter", he has infiltrated the Apartment and established a basic relationship with various inhabitants, acting as a timid, somewhat unique young man currently courting Dani.

Caligulus
A being similar if not identical to Darius, of whom he hates, he is a rather corrupted figure. Having gotten into a serious dispute between Darius over who was responsible of the accidental closure of 600 Universes resulting in eons of scientific research lost, he was eventually blamed and shunned largely by the Immortallius's scientific community, being reduced to a minor rank responsible for the closure or temporary maintenance of a realm should it's regular caretaker be called upon a task of greater importance. With Darius's apparent demise due to a systemic meltdown, he has been put in charge of closing the Universe Darius discovered and cared for, however, Caligulus has far more vengeful plans in mind. Having easily manipulated the local Drone Empire into doing his bidding, he has once again put the Earth in danger from another Invasion, one greater than any ever seen by the Earth prior.[/code]

The Replicates
Servants of The Progeny, they do his global bidding, and unlike he, usually replace individuals rather than establish their own personality, they clone the mental and visual characteristics and then normally kill the original subject while they fulfill his/her's normal position while acting truly as an operative to ultimately disable the Earth's primary defenses. They have some of the abilities of The Progeny, though they lack more of it's advanced capabilities.

The Xarada
The robot-servant of The Progeny, it is a small spider-like creature that takes various forms, though normally it takes the appearance of a black cat. When not lurking around, guarding Peter's apartment and serving as Peter's central A.I to base his operations upon and stay in contract with the vastly distant Drone relays, it serves as a reconnaissance bot, doing things Replicates might not be able to. It has weapons such as it sharp legs and a short array of mental weapons while it is highly adept in the digital sense, equipped with some of the best Drone cyber-weapons and defenses available. It's loyalty is inequivalent by any other to the Progeny, and it will viciously fight for him.

The Caretaker
The supposed overseer of Earth after the second Drone invasion, he is a mysterious figure, who resides in The Aetherian, a strange yet small collection of enormous ships. He has unknown capabilities and origins, only known to answer the The Observant, but no more information beyond that.

Tarquinius Superbia
Was the first minorem of hell and guided Lucius Lupus for almost 2 millenniums. After the imprisonment of Satan, he became Maior Sextus Superbia. He is known to be prideful, an instigator, crude, and trustworthy (once he knows you well).

Lucius Lupus
Comes from a parallel universe similar with many of Earth's histories. Originally born during the time of the Roman Empire, as of 12 A.D. Born Pagan but later converted. Served as a Legionary in Jerusalem where he stayed till the year 30 A.D. moving back to his homeland on the western side of the Rhine river with his sister, who was tricked into sorcery of eternal beauty by a minion of Satan.

He later joined in on many events in history from the Crusades to the Revolutionary War, even to WW2. Recently, he was staging an uprising in Hell to free him and his sister, however, Satan pulled a last second trick and teleported him to our universe where he is trapped til he can return home. After his return back to his dimension, he won his fight against Satan, conquering evil. And he has returned to find his sister.. Oh also, after that epic fight he had, he has been given the title of archangel and champion of humanity and earth, one that he takes seriously.

Sapphire Thriller
Born in 2158, she is an anthropomorphic and great granddaughter of Cornelius Thriller. She works in the Third District on Oda island as a genetic engineer. In the past, she has worked on many projects such as the synthesizing of cells from atoms up, and Project: Lazarus.

Vitellius Barox
Born in Hephaestus, Fourth District, Planet Gliese 581g. Had a rare nondisjunction that is known as Trisomy 13. A lethal genetic disease that could have killed him if not for "modern" science and medicine saving his life. From this he received six small pistons, 3 on each side, to act as muscles for the lack of muscles there. He also received an artificial spinal cord and mandible. He serves as a tech priest (No connection to Dawn of War 40k), more specifically, an electronic priest that is known to play crude tricks from time to time.*

Thriller's room. A room that he has purchased from the property and claimed it for Germanic Templars to help nullify him having to pay rent on it.

Giovenith
Giovenith is the daughter of a benevolent goddess called Pearlelei, who is currently at war with a newer group of deities who wish to "delete" the universe. She is an artist, posses a whistle that can perform unusual abilities, and has hammerspace pockets. She is seemingly insane, but it is possible that this is an affect of her mother's. She has been shown on several occasions to have powers of her own, although she is not necessarily a full goddess like her mom. She is about 16 years old, but often acts much younger than that.

Asmodeus
Asmodeus is a fallen angel and the demon of lust, in charge of the second circle of Hell. He is outwardly the most polite and least morally bankrupt of all the sin demons, often acting friendly and helpful towards people. As lust, he can perform a Mesmer that causes anyone who beholds him to psychologically draw out and magnify features of him that they could find attractive or appealing, which can make him very manipulative. He is an open Pansexual. A long time ago, he had a deep, stalker-ish infatuation with a human girl named Sarah, who has since died and become an angel, yet despite this, still continues to stalk her. She is the only one he has any actual feelings for other than just wanting to screw. He is a fan of rock music in reference to this. It is possible that underneath his calm charm is a completely twisted dark side. He is physically 15 years old, although his racy make-up often makes him look older.

Belphegor
Belphegor is also a fallen angel, and the demon of the sin of sloth. A total misanthrope, Belphegor prefers the company of machines to anyone else, making a brilliant mechanic and inventor. This also makes him snide, mean, condescending, and insensitive to many, making him annoyed over even among his fellow demons. Due to his sheer laziness, Belphegor will always try to take the easiest way out of any situation, no matter how detrimental the consequences, and refuses to willingly travel more than fifteen feet without the use of a segway scooter. He can also travel long distances all over the planet via actually flushing himself down a toilet and reappearing in another someplace else (believe it or not, this actually does have a canon mythological reason behind it). When not tinkering with machines, he is usually seen lounging about and taking naps. Although he is physically 17 years old, he is very short for that age, about the size of a ten year old.

Beelzebub
A higher-up ranking fallen angel/demon, Beelzebub represents the sin of gluttony, and is in control of the third circle of Hell. He is one of the quieter, more serious, business-like demons, often the one being forced to round up the younger demons and remind them of their jobs. As gluttony, he has powers which make him an excellent cook and baker, and can manipulate how people react to food (making more food taste like less and vice versa; making good things taste horrible and vice versa, etc.). Since he is, "Lord of the Flies," he sometimes takes on two large housefly wings in his humanoid form, and wears glasses. It was, in fact, him who helped manipulate the children into slaughtering each other in the famous novel, 'Lord of the Flies.' He owes NVE over a hundred dollars in cash, and is the ex-husband of Swith, with whom he now has a polite but often awkward relationship with. He is physically 34 years old.

Primordial AKA Prime(on left)
Primordial was born in 1973 twenty six years before the second American civil war to a poor family in Boston. After the war in 2000 he enrolled in Miskatonic after joining up with the roving Luxan military, which paid for his tuition. There he majored in Divination and got his doctorate in Physics, gaining his first job at the newly formed RADICAL. He was elevated to the royal guard after saving Commander Winchester in the Egypt wars, and met Insidious while fighting as an Immortal. After the war they both met up again at SystemCorp when they were put on the same design team, and became fast friends.

Primordial is a master of situational manipulation, and always has a plan for the most unlikely and most insignificant of scenarios. Like all Luxans, Primordial has the Mark of Old Ones on his person, protecting him from foreign magical and unnamable forces. His preferred side arm is a Scion-6 pistol, a rail gun in revolver form, which perfectly complements his enhanced telekinetic power that allows him to easily move 10 tons of raw materials at 60mph. In addition he has branded his soul with hundreds of protection sigils that protect him from most types of physical and mental injury.

Insidious
Insidious was born to a rich Texan family in 1977; she was in college in Oregon during the American civil war. She feld to Canada but returned after the war to join up with Luxans, who drafted her into the military forces where she served as a pilot in the air force. After her mandatory conscription she went off to Kingsport College and got a doctorate in Mortal and Alien chemistry. During the Egyptian War she was promoted to piloting an Avatar Engines, this is where she met Primordial.

Insidious is a psychotic pragmatist, she is always trying to take advantage of people and situations and while a very caring person many of her good deeds are selfish in intention. She was born with natural telepathy that she cannot turn off causing her much stress in crowds. She has done an incredibly amount of modification on her internal system giving herself compete, bio memory and customization. With a host of over 37 extra organs and moderate shape shifting she is truly the master of her person.

Aegis
Aegis was born in 1970 to a middle class family in Massachusetts; at the age of 20 he suffered a psychotic break and killed 32 people with his bare hands in a city wide rampage. He was given life in prison and was confined to Providence maximum correctional facility, where he waited for 10 years before he was freed by the Luxan government. He quickly joined the Luxan military and rose in rank eventually being hired by SystemCorp as a political disruptor and is used to cause civil unrest and havoc in foreign nations to increase the companies’ profits.

Aegis is a monster of a man standing 9 feet 10 inches, weighing in at almost 300 pounds, and having a press weight of five tons. A master pyromancer he is incredibly slow to anger but is known to destroy civilization when provoked. His preferred style of fighting is simply one of carnage that revolves around breaking limps and bones with easy before destroying his opponents completely.

Room 6C
Primordial's room is on the sixth level of the house facing the west. Rather than acting as a regular room Primordial has taken the room and moved it to a separate dimension guaranteeing safety for himself and others as well as privacy. The apartment is very large and archaic but opens up to a nice and pleasant looking entrance. This is purely for guests and the rest of the apartment is more catered to the wants and needs of the residents consisting of many very person room such as a trophy room,Endangered Species Room, and over a dozen of Labatories.

USSR, United Socialist States of Russia (or United Soviet Socialist Republics, either one with fit.) Also known as The Red Star Union. (It can be called Russians, Commies, Reds, Red Star people/forces, Soviets, Ruskies, etc.)
Nation Bio:
The USSR/RSU is a massive Russian Socialist/Communist union inspired by the old Soviet times. We have massive production capabilities and amounts of land.

Sergei
Sergei is young for a Marine. He is 29 years old. He was born and raised in Kirov, Russia. Life wasn't exactly golden in the depression of post-Soviet Russia. People didn't have much money, there was poverty on a large scale. There was, of course, your average jerks who liked to be, well, jerks. He was a bored and unhappy kid. The Union rose when he was about 12. He joined the army at 18 to get away from his poor old hometown, and saw his first action in the Invasion of Kashkur, during which he was transferred into the marines.

Apartment:

Swith
"Swith" is not a personification or representation of the nation of Swith Witherward.
Swith's matrix houses a chaos god who chooses to remain in female form while in this dimension. Pleasure, excess and perfection (as well as hedonism, lust and pain) are part of her mantra and she never hesitates to foster the desire in others to improve upon themselves. She has recently stumbled upon some things that gods of her pantheon term as "heresy". Her favorite activity is hosting nefarious and oft-hedonistic Zalgofests with Bones.

Naomi
Naomi is a splinter from Swith's being and shares many of her abilities. She is capable of great devastation when under pressure. She's love personified and protective of her friends and humanity. She is the adoptive mother to Eva, a young and emotionally traumatized girl from the Friedhof (Bone Fort NPC.) She is also Ceril's lover.

Support Cast NPCs
Blythe
One of the top ranking succubus of Lust's minions, Blythe is normally austere and cruel. Her temperament seems to have taken a dramatic swing for the better since meeting the demon Superbia.

Slade
An incubus.

Minerva Blackwater
Cultist leader. Blackwater and her lads were invited to the dimension. She's best described by others:
"She's a god killer, a world destroyer and malevolent at the core. She doesn't babble or make small talk. We listen when she talks because she's opening her mouth after a lot of thought. She knows stuff. That's her job. We brought her in when Chaos became involved. She's in charge of our forces here."

"People look at Naomi and see compassion. They look at Swith and see fierce pride mixed with sensible kindness. Neither of them are a representation of Chaos. They're independent from it, above it. Blackwater isn't. She'd [retaliate] because you assumed yourself as her leader yesterday. She'll do it because it would be painful. Blackwater enjoys pain. She enjoys humiliating others... Captain Minerva Blackwater is a psychopath. Steer clear of her."

Chi
A chibi maxtrix thrust upon Swith when her essence needed a temporary body. Created by Herr Doktor and enlarged by Swith, Chi is Eva’s babysitter.

Their Apartment
The Sanctuary is a pocket universe created by Swith; the security system itself is a splinter of the chaos god. The primary door is in the lobby and opens onto a steep flight of stairs. There is a secondary door there. There is a doorbell in the lobby. There is a sign placed outside the lobby door below the doorbell. It reads:

TRESPASSERS WILL CEASE TO EXIST .

Current Occupants: Swith, Naomi, Ceril, Marcus and Eva.
Main room: the main entertainment area .

Upstairs loft which belongs to Ceril.

Main gallery leading to Swith's lair deep below the building.

Chaos (the restaurant)
See tab above. Owned by Swith.

Cuisine
Sensitive about his height. Lives for good food. Often found uncomfortably hunched over in kitchens, where he can usually be seen experimenting with new recipes. Pretentious, so he puts on a different accent every so often. Dramatic, so he'll do other random things at times, too. To get a better idea of his appearance: 7'5" 290 lbs, gray hair, green eyes. Early 50s. Apply that to his picture (linked above).

MB
A magical rabbit with several powers, including that of teleportation. Enjoys playing poker, eating walls and metal, drinking WD40 mojitos, and being a pyromaniac. Claims Cuisine is his familiar.

Deader, formally Deader than Disco
A traveler about whom very little is known, gender included. It is the bearer of 12 mystical Swords which render it a formidable combatant, but it recently has only been using them to troll Tsuyoi. Currently traveling elsewhere on business. Has some connection to Dora, the nature of which is currently unknown.

Dora
An immortal servant of the god of entropy and time, with the powers to manipulate these two forces. Due to the nature of her work, she is cynical, hates fighting, and has low inhibitions. She is capable of stopping time for everyone except other supernaturals, and sees people's remaining lifespans (referred to as 'readouts') above their heads. She strongly dislikes cold and has a propensity to cause wholesale destruction in the name of self-preservation. Never without weapons and a set of entropy-based restraints, she takes any action necessary to defuse perceived threats.

To Dora, most ordinary people have decreasing positive numbers on their readouts. Supernaturals have symbols or equations, which confuses her. Laika, whom Dora is always chasing but never able to catch, has a negative number, due to her being out-of-place, timeline-speaking.


APARTMENTS :
Cuisine/MB
Dora

Tora Dimitrov (Full/Real), Torii (As known by everyone else.)
Torii was taken in by her father in the east. After being lost, she spent her childhood living as an orphan in a small border town. She was caught up in one of the big border clashes, and grew up learning how to fight and hide. She was eventually conscripted by the Confederate Army and Air Corps, rather than killed like many other civilians. Due to her involvement in many bloody conflicts, and the use of WMDs on her own home, Torii is mentally stressed, and suffers from terrible nightmares and bouts of suicidal depression.

Apartment: A small enough, humble apartment in the style of many traditional Torsiedellie homes. The main room includes a large bed, Katya's mini-lounge in the left corner, by a small window. To the right is a small kitchen, with doors to a smaller bedroom and a laundry room. General Architectural style.

Katya Dimitrov IV
Taller than her sister, Katya was raised by her mother, with the nobility. She spent her childhood learning how to play Violin and Piano, be a proper girl, and be like her mother. At the age of 15, with her mother's approval, Katya voluntarily joined the Western Air Force, but never saw service. Instead, she was put in the National "Organization", and designated Agent-09. She shares her room with Torii.

Tsuyoi
A half breed demon/angel who wants to enslave the human race and take over the world only to prove she's the strongest.Usually scared of the demon and likes to sing.She has the full support of tsuyoi's military to help her. May not have a brain and is somehow living and able to stuff.

Tekikoku
The Oldest and The Most powerful of Tsuyoi Tekikoku Sisters.She always calm and is sadistic.She has alot of military training and Her element is unknown, and the fact is none one has lived long enough to See it except her sisters but they cant find out what it is.She is Dumber then edge but smarter then Scarlet and tsuyoi

Edge
The 2nd oldest of tsuyoi's older sisters and the 2nd strongest,Much Smarter then her other 3 sisters and Uses Earth as her element.She carries around a large sword and is Very Rowdy and easy to piss off. You should always run whenever she's drunk or you'll be on the ground in the next sec

Scarlet
Tsuyoi's 3rd older sister and the youngest of the older sisters, Somewhat dumber then tsuyoi and Acts more childish then her.
She controls fire and has always liked tsuyoi better,Begin the only one who doesn't wanna kill her.


Nemesis
A Tsuyoi Monster sometimes referred to as "Kaizer"
She has many ways of destroying from various guns and military Stuff,to her own Demon like abitiles.She has no relations to the tsuyoi tekikoku sisters.She has alot of rage,hatred and seems to like begin alone despite this,She Seems to get along well with anyone and has comptele control over her emotions,Nemesis is very powerful and has two even more powerful forms. Both are
called: Annihilation and Oblivion


Apartment

Nation Name: The Glorious Empire of Zarkanians (otherwise referred to as the Dictatorship of Zarkanians).

Zarkani
Sickly-pale skin, sharp blue eyes, somewhat greasy hair, expensive black trench-coat with lots of 'merchandise' (high-quality magnetic guns) which should technically not fit in there, uh, in there, dark black sunglasses, big black boots with steel toes, and a black sword identical to the Colonel 187 (sans the ability to infect anyone ever with diseases because that's 'unique' to Colonel 187's sword) strapped across his back. He's about 5'11", and is human for the most part.

He came from A Bad Part of Town, where everyone used to be fighting. He sold to a bunch of different gangs at the same time, and eventually the decided that the gang-war was taking such a huge toll on each other that they'd attack other parts of town instead. Thus began one of the longest periods of gang violence directed against citizens in the town's history. His mother was a human and his father was a human, but in some point in both their family trees, their ancestors had 'met' with a justice elemental and an immortal, respectively, and their genes have finally actually awakened in him. This made him somewhat neurotic when it comes to fairness, and also immune to dying of sickness or old age. (See, that's ironic, because most justice elementals are weak to being sick-- never mind).

Apartment (full apartment w/kitchen) or Room (glorified dorm room of sorts): Apartment. Gotta find some use for all that trade surplus I mean money what.

Apartment Picture: Except with an actual sink as opposed to whatever that is.

Herean. He ain't got no last name.
Appearance: White T-shirt with a red drop of blood centered on it, black jeans, messy dark red hair, light skin, blood-red eyes, black jacket. When he's fighting things his hands become encased in a pair of metal claws. He's able to summon a very, very long barbed chain, which is capable of moving like a snake but harms Herean when damaged. Fortunately it takes a lot to damage it. He usually looks about 18-19, but his shape can shift in age to anywhere between 14 to 37. He's not in control of these changes; they're mostly controlled by his emotions. Unfortunately, this means that when he feels especially irritated or distraught he ends up lookin far less mature than is helpful. Fortunately, these changes are fairly rare now.

Herean is a reformed daemon of blood, which basically means he likes killing people and thinks blood is amongst the most beautiful things in the world, but doesn't... Actually... Kill people for no reason. He just looks for really, really small reasons for it. Not killing things puts him in a kind of withdrawal. He acts surly and irritable under the best of circumstances, but during long periods of 'not-killing-anything' time he can become downright bi-- Errrrrr... Female dog. Y. He doesn't like killing people he knows unless they're bad people.

Living Quarters: Room!

Snowskeeper Ferenczy (also Zark and Zarkanians)
Snowskeeper has dirty-blonde hair, pale (like, REALLY pale, in a somewhat worrying way) skin, a somewhat thin face. He's about 5'6" in height. He tends to wear a black parka with random blue patches. He also wears blue jeans, and a random t-shirt with a random logo on it--it's usually something dark like a Metallica t-shirt with four skulls biting an eye or something like that. He also has a Zweihander strapped across his back. It has a Zarkanian gravitic drive built into the hilt, which allows him t carry it; if an EMP or something like that were to strike he'd be trapped on his back like a turtle. On the bright side, he can use a two-handed sword with one hand without having to work out too much! He looks somewhere around 16-18.
Snowskeeper was once a person, just... Like... YOU. Or, maybe he was; he doesn't really remember anything before he transformed. Then he found a special, secret computer in the back of a warehouse in a ghost-town in a dead dimension; he's not really sure how he got there, but the perfectly functioning spaceship he found afterwards suggests he was brought there by a group of... Well, they had lots of seeds, so settlers, he supposes? In any case, there was a CMD prompt open on the screen, with the letters 'AFK' written therein. He doesn't know what his mental process was--he can't actually remember anything that happened before he typed this stuff in--'alter Snowskeeper: add characteristics Ice Elemental, Immortal (regenerative, not indestructible), teleporter. Then he hit enter.

The computer exploded, but be received the chosen upgrades. There was a terrible cost, though: everything got really, really boring without the need to scrounge for food to survive, and with his Ice Elemental abilities he could defeat the few surviving animals without much difficulty. Fortunately, the ship had an auto-pilot installed, and he was able to activate it. The ship travelled through a rift, taking him to the ancient plane called Tertia. There, he took over the country of Zarkanians (making this the first and only dimension where Noah Grace didn't run the place into the ground), and convinced its clans to purue profit and the blood of other civilization, rather than each others' blood. He even managed to convince them to worship him!
Over eght-hundred years, and three fits of insanity later (one of which left him with a permanent obsession with naps), Snowskeeper was assaulted by Colonel 187. No matter what he tried, from his custom machine-gun (now lost) to his favourite sword (he still has that), he couldn't defeat the Colonel. Finally, after a battle that lasted days, he conceded control of the country to Colonel 187 and left the area for greener pastures. He kind of liked not being the most powerful thing in his universe, though, so he intentionally sought out an area where there were at least some stronger people to keep him in check. He doesn't think that's weird.
That area was the apartment building.

In a very, very, very rare moment; Mon, Lidev, the User, Samantha, Klanov, Lilly, the lamina, Melonie, and Griselda all walked out of their rooms and headed into the kitchen. Maybe it was about time to get some cooking going? Or maybe they were just hanging out? Either way, it was a bit odd to see all 9 Froxians in the same place at the same time.

[Dabfia]

Tony wakes up on the ceiling in the dining room.
"Ah that new thread smell." He says.

Primordial wakes up and points to his last post

Hey guys after being told that my storyline can start, I’ve planned it out and am finally ready to start. While the opening act will be on Friday I am laying down some basic rules and such to clear up any confusion early on.
1. This attack is the work of the King in Yellow an avatar of the insanity god Hastur.
2. The King in Yellow is an extension of Hastur almost like a finger however you will hear the names used to talk about the same thing.
3. Hastur is the god of psychological dishevelment, anything with a conscious is his play thing. His presence alone can drive regular humans insane instantly and he has put his fair share of mortal gods in nut houses.
4. All things that are insane bow to Hastur, so any of you that are already insane or get driven insane have the ability to fall under his will.
5. Primordial, Aegis and Insidious will be of little real help. They don’t like what’s he is doing but they won’t do anything to stop him, however, they can be helpful for their knowledge on the subject and should be sought out if any confusion arises.
6. The armies of Hastur are many, diverse and dangerous. If you are stupid and don’t act rationally I guarantee your character will die against these beasties.
7. This is a less run and gun event rather more surgical strike orientated.
8. The entire thing will be broke into three acts, if the third act finishes then you all lose and the city is destroyed
9. Have fun

Kid Tony see's the show spoiler thing, he presses it. and nothing happens, he presses it repeatedly and then walks away.

Naomi let Ceril sleep. She went downstairs and rummaged through her kitchen, but couldn't find any sugar for her coffee. She sighed and left her apartment to raid the building's communal kitchen upstairs.

(ooc) just bumping this to get it on my recent posts

[Swith Witherward]

"Herro random person i do not know." Kid Tony said.

Naomi looked at him. "We met before," she laughed. "Hello Tony. Still roaming the building?"

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

Neil was giving a leture at the local university, since he was now a professor there. "Today's lesson: George Washington was a wizard."

"Hey all." Bran greeted, Rylli at his side. The two sat down and waited, hungry for some food.

[Imperial--japan]

Awakening from her sleep, Kotoka headed towards the communal kitchen to fetch a bite to eat. After all she had been busy today, and needed to get some supplements in her stomach.

[Germanic Templars]

" Three days possibly four. And I see the method you are working here, it's kinda like a vaccine almost, except psychological almost."

OOC: the bed tolls for me. Wanna continue tomorrow?

"Well, that explains your nightmare the other morning, and why you didn't seem all that happy to see me," she said kindly.

OOC: sure. I was supposed to go to bed an hour or so ago.

" I guess so I mean the day I came back from my little trip home, things felt off in my body, like I felt drained from a lot of things til one day, things went black for me, nothing more or less."

[Swith Witherward]

" I guess so I mean the day I came back from my little trip home, things felt off in my body, like I felt drained from a lot of things til one day, things went black for me, nothing more or less."

Swith raised her eyebrows. "What about the day after you came back from the Void? You told me about your nightmare that morning," she asked tentatively. She was sorely tempted to bring up her feelings of being neglected, but bit her tongue.

Naomi patted Tony on the head. "Tell you what... let me get done with work, and I'll see about helping with the monsters?"

[Monfrox]

After a hello to Bran and Rylli, Lilly, Mon, Lidev, the User, and the lamina disappeared into the kitchen to begin cooking up something to eat. Klanov, Samantha, Melonie, and Grsielda stayed behind to chat with the others.

"M'kay." He says. "I have to go replace my closet door now, they sorta blew it up." He said and disappeared. He starts walking through the halls towards his room and then forgets what he is supposed to be doing. He then starts wandering again.

"That was no nightmare nor dream, but my conscious, me, waiting in my clouded mind for someone or something to come along."

[Primordial Luxa]

From this point forward Hastur's presence will cause every being in the city to experience very personal nightmares, it affects every creature in the city (even gods) when ever they lapse into unconsciousness.

[Torsiedelle]

Katya surged from her nap, screaming. She couldn't form words, only blabbering and sobbing hysterically.

....

Torii walked up to Bran and the others, smiling.

"Salut.......Alo."

OOC - Uh-oh.

Dora's eyes opened in a blank purple stare. She flung out a hand and a wave of entropy flew into the communal kitchen, dissolving a dish cabinet. Shards of ceramic skittered across the floor as the plates inside fell and shattered.
