Mythological Task Force: Angel Division |OOC|

Recommended Posts

Information Document

 

Hi! So I've gotten into my head the idea of an RP about gun-toting angels! Just as it sounds like, the characters would be low-level angels, charged with protecting humanity on an unseen front, using guns! These guns have special bullets that are imbued with different types of elemental magic. Different elements are most affective or least affective against specific types of enemies. Now, the enemies would be nasty beasts akin to demons and the like but I haven't figured out yet if that's all they're going to be. Maybe some supernatural spirits and the like from various different mythologies.

 

Did I say "low-level" angels? I did. That means there will be higher level angels but, at the start of the RP, no one is allowed to make such a character. Later down the line, if we ever get there, I may open a few spots to allow high-level angels as playable angels. It will require adequate research though since they aren't the angels everyone commonly knows.

 

I'm thinking that our angels would sort of have two jobs: protecting their specific human charges and cleaning out the infestation that's trying to absorb the earth.

 

Any interest? I kind of want to keep this as a small group. Maybe no more than four other people (so five in total when you include me). There won't be any character sheets to fill out - you'll just make an intro post and I trust you'll provide the information needed to at least know who your character is at the beginning.

 

Angels

 

In order to blend in with humanity easily, they can hide their wings from sight. I don't mean by stuffing them into oversized coats because that's painful (their wings are huge). Instead, their wings dissolve in and out of sight on command. Each angel has an elemental focus (fire, water, earth, air, or spirit) in addition to holy. They are not created with any specific sex but their physical appearance can possess a sex or be sexless and they can label themselves with any gender identity for simplicity.

 

There are no rules against angels forming close relationships with any sort of being. However, it is recommended that they do not form anything beyond friendship as anything more intimate could cause conflicts of interest.

 

Other Supernaturals

 

Everything in the supernatural world, from all sorts of mythologies, goes unnoticed by humanity. Creatures are completely invisible unless they have a human guise to walk around in. Only supernaturals can see supernaturals.

 

Elements

 

We have your basic five elements:

Fire

Water

Earth

Air

Spirit

 

Besides Holy, each angel wields one element for their weapons. Their weapons are guns of any type but the most commonly used are pistols and shotguns. The bullets are specially made by certain creatures using a specific type of metal that is magically imbued.

 

Try to vary up who uses what element. There aren't any limitations on the number per element but I'd rather not have everyone using fire or spirit as they would be ineffective against too many beasts.

 

Feathered wings only but they can be white, gray, black, or some mild combination. (No one wing is white and the other is black. But something likes flecks is okay.) Wings are huge. When folded, the "wrist" reaches just above the head and the tips practically drag along the ground.

 

For charges, each angel is give a specific location to keep safe. The humans living in that section are their charges. If any of those humans move to live elsewhere, they become the charge of another angel that is assigned to that area.

 

Guns are commonly pistols and shotguns because they have to be legally owned since the guns are carried 24/7 and visible when the angel is visible to humans. If they use something that can't be legally owned and given a permit for, then they get their gun from supernaturals that are glamored to look like a legal gun (note: only look. Sound would not agree with the visuals).

 

Rules/Expectations

  1. All forum rules apply.
  2. No god-modding and power-play.
  3. Be respectful to each other. If you have a concern or problem with someone, PM me and I will decide if it is a mater worth addressing.
  4. Work together, collaborate. This RP depends on the collective work of everyone.
  5. Please, I encourage you to post your ideas and suggestions for plot/environment/concepts in the OOC thread. I encourage subplots but do inform me of them so I can tell you when it would best fit to happen.
  6. While there is no character limit, please remember to stick with what you can handle. I don't want everyone throwing out seven characters and then posting for only one or two.
  7. I expect good grammar and spelling. If I cannot understand what is going on in your post, you are required to fix it. If you can't fix it, then you probably shouldn't be in this thread.
  8. Keep the usage of image links to a minimum. You're writing, not displaying someone else's art gallery. (If you do use an image, you need to make sure you have the O.K. to post it.)
  9. Posts are required to be at least seven complete sentences long. I know writer's block and understand the pain of it. However, I won't tolerate it being the excuse every single time.
  10. You have seven days from the last post made to either make an IC post or OOC note if you can't. Otherwise, your character will be moved to an inactive list. If your character is inactive, I have the right to move them as I see fit to keep the thread moving forward.

I've added a bit more info to the first post.

 

Yes, the characters would be working as a team but not officially. Every Angel works solo, officially, but they are always partnering up with others to help make the job easier.

 

Aroara, you can join in if you'd like as I don't have any regulations for post length/literacy beyond good grammar and spelling. Though, I'm certainly going to be trying for longer posts. So, it's up to you and what you're comfortable doing.

I just noticed the thing about intro posts, are you okay with me doing a sheet? Introductory posts aren't necessarily my forte.

Share this post


Link to post

Hmm no sheets because I'm not going to keep them.

 

Shadow, currently only angel characters will be available. I may later allow other creatures but the main focus right now is the low level angels cleaning the streets without human notice.

 

Edit: I'm going to make things look nice for this thread. It'll be ready to go tomorrow afternoon as I'm presently not home.

Thanks for all the interest guys!

The link doesn't work.

 

I'm actually going to make it a maximum limit of three guns. So, you'll have to drop one. :v

 

I'll be getting the IC put up in a little bit. Just working on a few practice doodles before I get writing.

 

I plan on putting a bit more information into the IC as I've had all night and day to think more about it but no opportunity to put it into the thread until now.

Okay, I think I have an idea for my character, but I just want to clear something up, how does the angel/human thing work? I kinda want my character to be the "new kid" because he was created for a human that was born recently, and his mentality would be that of a bratty teen. Anyways, is it like that? as in, angels are created when a person is born, or is it where they appear and then get assigned to specific humans who need them?

 

P.S. How crazy can we get with the wings? do they have to be generic feathery ones, or can we do wings made of their elements or resembling those of other creatures or something?

 

P.P.S. I think I'll be using Fire and my character will probs use a flamethrower (That's the only firearm I can think of by name lolol)

Does that help a little?

 

EDIT: Flamethrower isn't a gun though :v You need something that shoots bullets. I'd suggest looking at Wikipedia for some ideas.

I'm working on an intro right now that will hopefully answer a bunch of questions and provide more information.

Okay, the IC is up and the first post is made. Hopefully it provides enough information to get everyone started at least.

 

If there's some confusion about things, please feel free to ask me.

Aroara, since I know reading can sometimes be headache-inducing for you, I can provide a summary if you ever need it.

Okay' I've showered on it, and i think I'm going to change my character's element to Spirit, because fire is kinda lame. It's almost 10 here, so I may or may not be able to get my post in. On the chance that I don't, I'm just gonna do an Aroara and say that

 

Alrion-Spirit-15-Male

And he's gonna use a sniper rifle.

Let me know if any of my assumptions directly contradict your lore.

You're all good.

 

Spyro, I'm thinking I may require you to up the chronological age of your angel. He can still look 15 but I might end up requesting that you make him older. I'm still debating on it though since it's not a really big issue.

Well, I'f prefer for him to be ridiculously young compared to the other characters for irony's sake, but if you deem it necessary, I'll change it.

I guess ya have a point. Maybe 144 years sounds about right.

 

EDIT: I'll just post my characters intro tomorrow. It's already 12. Anyways, I'll just leave this: any ideas for plots?

Since I see spirit is taken and I don't think we want duplicate elements just yet, here's a mockup of my potential character

 

Larien | Fire | 960 yrs old | Female Identity

 

no clue what her gun (or guns) is going to be. Not really my kind of forte but I'll make due and find something I'm sure

Active characters are updated.

 

I was considering having a training period before an angel was put on the field or not. Still haven't really considered it as they could just be created with knowledge of the war from the start. For the moment, leave that ambiguous. I'll let you all know in a couple of days what the verdict is.

 

Concerning plots, I do have a major one in mind but if any of you want to come up with subplots, just let me know and I'll see where I can fit it into the rp.

 

Concerning basic needs, angels do not require them as often as humans do. More like snakes, they only need to make sure they eat one a week and sleep a few hours every handful of days. When they need rest, they alert the angel closest to their area so that they can cover it until they're done resting. Anything more is just appearance and preference.

It's come to my attention that some things about the guns aren't as clear as I thought they were. For that, I apologize.

 

Let me clear some things up:

 

Yes, your angel can use any gun (up to a max of three so feel free to mix-and-match) so long as it requires bullets. Pistols and shotguns are just the most commonly used because they are most convenient. We are located in a large, densely populated city so anything else would start to get awkward, inconvenient, or unconventional to use. This is where collaboration and planning comes in nicely; you can get snipers to cover your back.

 

Your angel must always have at least one gun on their body at all times. If they make a habit of using their human guise, they will also need legal carry permits (conceal and/or open carry) because they cannot afford to get into trouble with human authorities.

 

Whatever guns are not primarily being used, they are left behind at the angel's home location or carried under a glamor to make them appear as a legal gun for human eyes. So a rifle or machine gun would look like a shotgun to a human and it'll look like the angel is holding a shotgun. However, the glamor only affects visuals. If that machine gun is fired, it does not sound like a shotgun; it sounds like a machine gun. If an angel is not invisible (have their wings out), a human can reach through the glamor and touch the gun to feel it as a machine gun and not a shotgun. But the glamor remains and you'd have a very confused human.

 

When an angel has their wings out, they, their clothes, and their guns are completely invisible. The bullet, however, is not once it is fired. The bullet leaves the cloak that is created naturally. Except, a bullet moves too fast to be seen so it can only be heard by humans and, if unlucky, felt. Many humans attribute unseen gunshots to some unimportant event or other. When the angel conceals their wings, the glamor on the machine gun returns.

 

The glamor is cast by other supernaturals, ones that are more skilled in such illusion magic as the angels will not encroach on the magical abilities of other creatures to avoid tensions. This is why the element of an angel is only seen through the bullets they shoot.

(( Alright, Narvix, here you are.

 

Also, going fire and spirit (how original) took a bit of deliberation on my part, and a bit of thought, but I decided on how this will work for them. ))

 

Rilain || 724 || Two Revolvers known as Grace and Dignity and a shotgun known as Sanctus (oh how familiar) || Male Identity || Fire Aspect

 

The legalized gun for Roland, all three non-glamored, is his shotgun. I don't know how many we're allowed to have legalized and why this is a rule but I won't go against it.

 

Akane || 698 || A pistol called Silence, a sub-machine gun called Hunger, and a rifle called Peace || Female Identity || Spirit Aspect

No bows. Weapons have to have bullets. Not bolts, not arrows. If she wants a hunting bow for hunting, she can use it but it is not at all affective against demons.

 

All three guns can be legal as each angel can get more than one permit. The difference between legal guns and illegal guns is due to the government regulation. Military grade weapons are not for legal citizen purchase. Revolvers, shotguns, handguns, some rifles, etc. are for purchase.

Antique weapons have lower accuracy and because they won't fire, an angel cannot use it in battle. All of their guns are human made; beyond the glamor and the bullets used, guns have no magical qualities. They either buy legal guns or have other supernaturals smuggle illegal ones to them.

 

An angel can own antique guns with the right permit if they desire to collect them.

 

EDIT: Thael, you're going to need to know what Spirit bullets can do. They're honestly the least creative in terms of visual damage affect. Each bullet sucks a small portion of the demon's life force away. The Nature subelement offers a bit more of a visual flare like vines popping out or leaves shredding the creature into ribbons. But, beyond that, that's about it.
