come on ride the hype train

 

Welcome back to Heavenly Branches!

Due to no less than four people asking about it, I am revising the rules for a new game in 2018.

You do not need to post incredibly often but you have to be active on our private Discord server.
There are limited slots and I will accept players on a case-by-case basis.

 

Updates will come as they come.

Since the turn of the 22nd century, settlements across the world have been invaded by creatures most aptly described as monsters from some sort of video game... or demons, as most people called them. Bestial, horned, scaled, and red-eyed; they had many appearances, echoing grotesque mutations of animal species, but they had a devastating control over the elements and were more resilient than any known earth animal. Fiercely aggressive, they desired no more than the taste of human flesh. Many years before, incidents that might have been attributed to demons were isolated: deaths in rural areas, the occasional unbelievable tale, or mysterious camping disappearances.

 

Then they grew more frequent and more numerous. They had no fear as they advanced into human territory and made themselves known.

 

The rise of the demons attracted the attention of police departments, and eventually military leaders. They found that they could hold the demons at bay through barriers and artillery, and some could even be slain with a well-aimed bullet through the head from a civilian. The fight was continuous but, having lost its sensationalism, the story of the strange monster encounters soon faded away from the mind of the public. That was for the best --  the armed forces knew that the monsters grew to adapt every day and that every day the fight became a little more hopeless, it was better off that the majority remained ignorant to avoid mass panic.

 

Other than the military, two other groups in the background had a particular interest in monsters: cryptozoologists, and researchers who wanted to know more about the orgin of these beasts. What caused these creatures to appear so suddenly? What made them able to do what they could do, to control the earth or breathe fire? It was difficult. Any attempt at keeping a monster in captivity lead to failure, and monsters who were slain instantly turned to dust.

 

The dust itself had peculiar properties. Fine and grey like incense ash, unremarkable chemically, but toxic in moderate quantities. More peculiar yet was its effect on flora. A sprinkle of demon dust could make plants grow uncontrollably, and make flames burn stronger when ignited. Using his limited time to carefully examine the known cases of dust poisoning, an ailing neurosurgeon believed he had found a permanent way to counter the demons once and for all.

 

And that sparked the beginning of the Branch Project.

 

SETTING


The year is 2115, a little more than a hundred years since the turn of the millennia. Not much has changed in the world since then -- much of the old infrastructure has been retained even when technology continued to advance. Computers became more powerful and compact, architecture more ambitious, and entertainment became more immersive and more omnipresent than ever. Technology allowed humans to live in  increasingly hostile environments, explore other planets, and chart the deep seas; to travel and communicate safely and quickly. Through this period of relative peace, humanity has grown complacent over the century. Content with their current state and ignoring the dirty, undesirable things under the rug, life was good... for the majority.

 

On the other hand, intensive resource extraction over the years have left the earth barren and the sky covered with clouds. It is unlikely that anyone born in the last thirty years has seen a truly wild plant -- even trees in forested parks would have been cultivated saplings. The only animal species thriving were those who adapted to humans. The sea levels have risen and the northern territories have begun to thaw in warmer winters.

 

For a long while the biggest concern was climate change, until the demons began to appear. Faced with an active threat rather than a passive one, the world leaders were suddenly pushed into reacting.

 

 

Many years before Heaven's Gate made itself public, there had been whisperings online about a way to quickly and effectively eliminate demons, featuring leaked footage that almost looked like it was entirely done in CGI. All of the videos -- some shaky and amateur, others nearly cinematic in quality -- featured elaborately dressed teenagers, wielding impossible weapons, and some sort of supernatural telekinesis that allowed them to manipulate the natural elements.
 
Many people claimed that it was fake, some even dismissing it as a marketing ploy for a movie capitalizing on the demon scare. Those who claim they witnessed it in person were ridiculed, but as the public soon discovered, it was all too real.

 

The original videos are no longer online, but there is still a good amount of civilian footage and official Heaven's Gate promotional material.

 

 

HEAVEN'S GATE ACADEMY

 

Heaven's Gate Academy is an exclusive high school that trains demon hunters. Prestigious through being the only one of its kind in the world, HGA has a rigorous application and screening process.

 

There are three main ways to get accepted:

1. Through the entrance exam,
2. Funding the operations of the school, or
3. Being scouted directly by HGA.

 

Currently, the school hosts about five hundred students, with the majority having joined in the last year and a half of operations. The school itself is located on an undisclosed tropical island in the pacific ocean.

Quick Q&A

 

What's Heavenly Branches (HB) actually about?

HB is the story of teens in the future training to become demon hunters in a specialized academy. The twist? To use the magic given to them by the school, they must forge bonds with fellow classmates and use the power of love or friendship to fuel their powers and save the world before it is plunged in eternal chaos.

 

Haven't I seen this around the forum before?

Heavenly Branches (2018) is technically in its 3.5th iteration. I don't know why or how people love this idea so much that they want to keep seeing it around. Find the 2.0 topic here and the 1.0 topic here for optional reading.

 

Are we building directly off of 2.0 or is this a reboot?

I'm tweaking the rules, but 2.0 events remain canonical to a degree. There will be a time skip.

 

Can I use my old characters if I get an invite?

Yes.

 

If I don't get an invite can I still ask if I can get in?

Anyone may express interest through PM or through this topic, though I will be selective with the team I'll carry through this story.

 

Will you be accepting characters once the story has begun?

Yes. There are points where you can't add anyone in, but for the most part you can weave them into the existing fabric.

 

Is there a character sheet?

Full sheet and sample sheet: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1u0rq-ob_uw0JJnTpGqY8ki3xE6zmDaTKDH3sEk8khVY/edit?usp=sharing

No rush to fill it in -- I'll probably end up making a simplified version.

 

Is there a character limit?

No more than 4 active characters... but unlimited NPCs. Have fun populating the school!

 

When will you finish updating the information // when will we start?

I am aiming to have the infodump done in the next few days and the IC topic ready for the 15th.

SCHOOL RECORD

That one chatterbox who likes to think of herself as the big-sister friend, and is pierced up the wazoo.

 

Name: Lavender Calabria

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Orientation: Queer/Questioning, definitely likes guys though

Join year: 2115

Appearance: Lavender stands at about 5’6”, with long red hair that reaches to about her waist when it’s straight and playful, feline silver eyes. Her skin is a light olive, because of her German/Italian heritage, and Lavender’s hair naturally falls in soft, loose curls. When straight, her longish bangs frame her face and are parted to the side. When they’re not straightened (which is typically never), she keeps them held back with bobby pins. Typically she wears her hair in a ponytail unless it’s a special occasion. When she wears her school uniform, Lavender wears her element ribbon to hold her ponytail. Lavender has a heart shaped face.
Lavender has an athletic build, due largely in part to her high levels of physical activity. Her arms are lean and strong thanks to her love of archery. She has double-lobe piercings (first set are silver hoops and the second set are silver posts) on both ears and a helix piercing (another silver hoop) on the left ear. Her right ear is adorned with a silver hoop on her daith and a turquoise stud on the tragus. She also has a small silver stud with a turquoise gem on her right nostril, courtesy of her mother. (birthday present)
Typically Lavender likes to wear skirts that reach to her knees or a little shorter, and sometimes she will wear pants if she really feels like it. Her shirt of choice is a tank top with any sort of cardigan/overshirt over it. It depends on her mood. Lavender also likes to wear black combat boots or ankle boots with heels. Sometimes she also likes to wear flats when she’s lazy

Personality: For starters, Lavender is a strong, confident girl due to her upbringing. She has a sharp wit, and she’s not afraid to speak her mind. Of course, she tries to hold back when she knows it’s going to get her into serious trouble. She’s not afraid to put up a fight either, if she has to. Not that she particularly likes to get into fights on purpose, that is.
Lavender is very sporty- you can oftentimes see her in her spare time working out or playing soccer… Or shooting at the archery range. Archery is her all-time favorite sport.
Although she’s good with the bow and arrow, she doesn’t particularly like hunting. Don’t get her wrong, she loves meat… With a passion… But she would much rather get meat from the store or have someone bring venison to her place in neatly wrapped packages. Something about cleaning and gutting an animal kind of freaks her out.
In her alone time, Lavender likes to write songs. There is a wastebasket next to her desk that is filled with rolled-up paper balls from the time she spends trying to make the songs perfect. Then she’ll try and make up a melody to sing and play on the piano (or try. She can barely play the piano). Lavender appreciates pretty things, and even though she tries to be tough, her room is very neat and aesthetically pleasing. She has a cork board with pictures of her friends, a lavender plant on her desk… And she likes her room in shades of purple.
When it comes to other people, Lavender can be very friendly. Unless you outright disrespect her, she won’t harass you or try to make you feel insecure. But when you make her angry, the talons come out. Typically to anger her, you have to attack at her friends and family, her hair when it’s humid (that’s something you never, ever, ever mention), or try to break her heart.
Lavender is also a serious foodie, so it pains her to eat healthy and maintain her weight. Of course, that doesn’t stop her from having a good cheat day...

History: Born to Mari Weber-Calabria and Giovanni Calabria, with her twin brother Lucas, Lavender grew up in South Carolina. She shows great pride in her Southern drawl, and doesn’t mind if you make fun of her about it. Her mother is a professional chef, while her father is a teacher at a middle school in Charleston. Both have been sure to reinforce Lavender’s confidence over the years, but gave her room to try and become her own person. They weren’t super strict and they let Lavender make many of her own choices. That being said, however, they were sure to enforce the rules of the house and punish especially awful behavior. Lavender is pretty close to her parents because of this.
In school, Lavender wasn’t really popular, but she had a tight-knit circle of friends. They told each other anything. She was also an athlete, which helped to keep her in shape and make more friends. The Archery club, Creative Writing club, and the soccer team were her extracurriculars of choice.
Growing up, Lavender was a little bit timid because she had to move schools when her father got his job in Charleston. When she made friends, it was rare. But said friends were bullied a lot, as was her brother. At the time Lavender was afraid to stand up to them, which made her curse herself but also grow more confident. She wanted to protect her friends, which was why she got into Archery- because it would make her strong. It proved beneficial, and she grew less and less afraid to stand up to jerks. Up until middle school, she was a bit of a tomboy, but she decided that she would start to dress more feminine once she reached high school, as she had wanted to continue to break out her shell. She decided to take the exam for Heaven’s Gate Because she wanted to face new demons, literally and metaphorically. Lavender is always open for a new challenge.
 

 

Clubs: Archery, Creative Writing

Relations: Her brother, for now.

Reputation: ???

Other: Be friendly to  Lavender, she will be your friend. Give her chocolate, she will love you forever. Her Italian is on point.


 

BATTLE CARD

Careful touching this redhead in battle, her hair may not burn you, but her attacks sure will.

 

Title: TBD

Element: Fire

Branch: Red with a fire-colored starburst pattern in the center, in a similar fashion to a star sapphire. blue-star-sapphire1.jpg Worn on a gold chain on her neck.

Weapon: Lavender uses a basic bow and arrow, with little accents of gold throughout the wood. The nocking point is a small amethyst that, if it comes into contact with her Branch, can send a small flame to the head of the arrow. Because of this, her arrows are built with a special magic-conducting channel inside them. The grip of the bow has etched lavenders on it, with a lacquer finish.

Armor: Her armor is rather light, since she typically uses long-range attacks. Her torso is covered with a light purple breastplate, and the rest of her actual armor is on her arms and legs up to her thighs. However, much of her body is covered by a strong silver stretchy fabric. On her head is a light silver helmet with a slidable mask over her face.

Focus: Scorching Shot: Lavender taps against the small amethyst on the nocking point to trigger a fire covering the tip of the arrow. Hope she doesn't miss.

 

Link Accessories: True to her name, one who links with Lavender will find that they have images of the flower up their thigh.

SCHOOL RECORD

Oh hey, it’s that chill dude from class.

 

Name: Peridot Chevalier-Doxiadis

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Orientation: Pansexual/Panromantic

Join year: 2115

Appearance: Peridot, who is Greek and French, has semi-spiky medium length, rich black hair. He has bangs that are dyed green and are always partially in his face. His skin is a dark olive, almost tan color, and he has wide green eyes that are framed with black glasses. The frames of his glasses are thin metal. Perri’s jaw is long and sharp, like grandma’s kitchen knives. He stands at 6’1”, with a lean build and well-toned muscles. When he isn’t in his school uniform, he often wears blue jeans and T-shirts, usually green. His sneakers are dark green Converses.

Personality: Peridot usually comes off as a relaxed, go-with-the-flow kind of guy. He has a very kind heart, but he’s a bit of a pacifist. Violence is just about the last thing he would resort to, unless he absolutely needed to. Obviously in the academy he’s going to have to fight. But for the most part he’s a pacifist.
One of his favorite past times is reading. It’s gotten him out of a lot of bad situations. He’s also pretty timid, rather afraid to speak his mind about things. But when he does, he has this charisma about him, which makes him a pretty sweet negotiator. He can also rap. Freestyle. He enjoys cooking as well.

History: Peridot was born in New Jersey to Henri Chevalier and Amaryllis Doxiadis. His parents were gentle, raising him with a firm sweetness. They were authoritative, more willing to talk to him about what he did wrong as opposed to yelling at him.
In school he was bullied quite a bit, sometimes violently. It got to the point where he couldn’t say a word around them, hence his now shy demeanor. Eventually he started reading religiously, as reading was his form of escape. Reading as much as he did, he started to learn to communicate and later on talk his way out of bad situations. When he was about ten his aunt and uncle on his father’s side passed away, leaving his little cousin Rosette behind. Rosette was adopted into Peridot’s family, and Rosie (who is now six-ish) is now like a sister to him. He is very protective over her and will go against his own morals in order to keep her safe. He decided to take the exam for Heaven’s Gate because he heard of the dangers of the demons and wants to protect Rosette from their wrath.

 

Clubs: Cooking club

Relations: ???

Reputation: ???

Other: Peridot speaks fluent Greek, some French, and knows a few swear words in Spanish. Don't ask him how he knows. He's got a nasty allergy to penicillin, so be careful what medicines you give him….

 

BATTLE CARD

Holy cheeseballs! What was that thing that hit me in the face?

 

Title: TBD

Element: Air

Branch: Green like his namesake, Peridot wears his Branch as a lapel on his uniform.

Weapon: His weapon is a slingshot that will propel a small ball of air forward. It is made of sycamore and has an emerald green elastic. In the ammunition pocket is a little pocket where he can place his Branch in, so as to get a small ball of wind ready in as little time as possible. As he gets used to his powers, the balls of wind can become stronger to Peridot’s will.

Armor: His armor is just a little heavier than Lavender’s since he may have to engage in hand-to-hand combat. Peridot wears full emerald green armor, but it’s still relatively light, with a thin layer of steel chainmail in between plates of armor.

Focus: Charisma: To be discovered later, but he's got decent enough charisma to convince others to follow his lead.

 

Link Accessories: Anyone who links with Peridot is given a centaur charmed necklace, true to his star sign, Sagittarius.

SCHOOL RECORD

Who’s that, Ed? I dunno, Will, but she looks scary. Yeah I agree, we should steer clear.

 

Name: Evonna Durand

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Orientation: Bisexual/Heteroromantic

Join year: 2115

Appearance: Evonna has a round face with narrow hazel eyes. She has more of a pear shape, with a B-cup breast size, but her shoulders are slightly broad. She has toned arm muscles. Her hair is medium length and in tight caramel brown curls. Oftentimes she will wear weave, braids being her style of choice. In uniform, her ribbon is around her neck French-style. She has small pearl earrings in her lobes, one set. Evee’s skin is a light toffee color. She stands at about 5'7".
When she’s out and about, not wearing her uniform, Evonna wears a variety of different clothes, typically crop tops, skinny jeans, loose T-shirts, shorts, skirts paired with leggings,and either sneakers or tall boots. Sometimes she’ll dress like a punk. Usually she wears her hair down.
Evonna doesn't care too much about her uniform appearance, but she does make some effort to keep it neat. She keeps two buttons on her shirt open, and she doesn't tuck her shirt in.

Personality: Evonna is a rather tomboyish, reserved girl who typically spends her time alone or with a small group of friends. Very rarely does she make friends, and she’s not necessarily looking to do so. Her temper is rather short, and she is more than willing to get herself into a fight when provoked.
Don’t allow yourself to think that her silence means she's plotting your murder, though. Evonna is the kindest, gentlest soul you've ever met. When you get close to her, expect her to be the mom friend of the group, and for her to give you things like it's Christmas. She’s a bit of punk, often listening to alternative and punk bands. She absolutely enjoys music and is often seen with earphones in her ears. Sometimes Evonna watches soap operas when she’s alone at home (it’s a guilty pleasure) while noshing on her mother’s white chocolate macadamia cookies. She is a diligent student, and you may also find her studying in her spare time. In school she typically doesn’t contribute to the discussion unless it’s something she is passionate about- History or music. Outside of school, she also kickboxes, which helps control her temper. While most people vent, Evonna will punch something. But under that, she’s just a shy girl who doesn’t want to cause problems.

History: Evonna was born in France, to a Cameroonian mom and a French/Estonian father. Her parents went missing, leaving her and her elder brother Jehan behind. Jehan, who was five at the time, has slightly better memories of them than Evonna, who was only two. They were adopted by a French couple who resided in Quebec. Evonna is aware of this- her parents had told her when she was eight and inquired why she didn’t look at all like them. This didn’t come as too much of a shock to her, but she’s not as close to her parents as she was before. Sometimes she still wonders why they hadn’t told her earlier.
Growing up, Evonna typically clung to her brother, and as a result got to know a couple of Jehan’s friends. Sometimes she would get into fights with them just for fun. That was how she learned how to fight. When a certain person in school started to pick on her for being adopted, they would often find themselves getting the daylights beaten out of them. It was after several of these incidents that Evonna’s parents got her into kickboxing, to take her anger at that bully out on… Well, anything but that person’s face, frankly.
Throughout high school she decided that History was her passion, and she thought that was what she wanted to pursue in college. That, or she had hoped to get into the music business. But with the news of demons and Heaven’s Gate, She saw a new window of opportunity… One that could not only keep her family safe, but maybe she would be able to find out more about where she came from...

 

Clubs: History club, Kickboxing, Cooking…?

Relations: ???

Reputation: ???

Other: Strangely enough, she doesn't like cheese all that much. She does, however, love omelettes.

 

BATTLE CARD

Yo, what's with the cheese om--- *GLUB GLUB*

 

Title: TBD

Element: Water

Branch: Evonna leaves her Branch in a barrette that she wears in her hair. The Branch is shimmery, transitioning from dark purple to dark blue.

Weapon: Evonna’s weapon is, simply put, a pair of kickboxing gloves. They are durable material and colored a deep bluish purple, with the kanji for “water” etched on the side of the right one.

Armor:  http://orig01.deviantart.net/8eb3/f/2014/027/d/4/lady_of_the_knight_by_nathanparkart-d733esj.jpg Evonna's armor is significantly heavier than Lavender's and Peridot's armor- it is in typical knight fashion. She wears a plate to cover her torso along with a thick leather apron, and her shins and her lower arms are covered in steel armor. Leather that is slightly thinner than the apron covers any area that is not already a steel plate or chain mail.
However, there are a few tweaks from the reference image: For starters, instead of plates covering her shoulders, they're covered in chain mail for flexibility. And included is a helmet similar to this:
https://m.imgur.com/ukRNF2x, only it covers the entire back of her head, modified for a human head. In addition, the overall pattern on her armor is the same as provided in the image- silver with very intricate patterns. Only the patterns are accented ever so subtly with the same blue/purple as her Branch. Also she has mno sword, and there is no leather on her hands, and the lower arm plates are slightly shorter toward the wrists to accommodate her weapon.

Focus: TBD

 

Link Accessories: When linking with Evonna, expect a book clip/pin/charm. Also expect a random cheese omelette in your hand or wherever.
