In the south of California there’s a city that apparently had been forgotten by God. It is Venial City. Just to begin with, the city has never had priests, simply because they don’t have any church. Every time someone wants to marry or someone is born, they travel to La Sagrada, a pretty empty and very religious city next to Venial, to receive blessings or perform ceremonies. God decides the city has been forgotten for way too long and decides to remedy things by sending two of his angels to take care of the population there: Harachel and Machidiel. The problem is the two demons that have been living in the city for years, Typhon and Haborym. Their attempts to bring out the evil in people are working just fine and the angels find themselves responsible for cleaning up the mess the devils have wrought in the lives of the people. What can the angels do? They find people who are about to die and give them another opportunity to live: they’ll have their second chances and they will live after all, but they’ll be protecting someone else as guardians. Of course, this is a kept secret from the person being protected. No one wants to know that the angels have given up on them, even for a bigger picture; they wouldn't like to think that they were being watched over by another human being, flawed and imperfect as they were. |
Every character had a near-death experience in which the one was saved with the condition of protecting someone else. If the two characters know each other or not, it’s up to both players. They don’t have to necessarily be best friends. In fact they don’t even have to get along at all, as long as the one character is aware of his obligation to protect the other, and make great effort in protecting him or her. If he doesn’t succeed though – which is absolutely understandable, considering that we all decide what to do with our lives –, he has to be inclined to give the best advice, in the moral definitions of what’s right. The one being protected doesn't have to “do the right thing”, morally, but the protector must always try to steer him or her in that direction as best as s/he can. The evil is materialized in the form of Typhon and Haborym, although their evil is implied in every immoral thought. There will be interaction from the demons to the humans, but humans don’t know who they really are. They’ll be trying to put a bad idea in one’s mind, trying to make one inclined to cheat or lie and such. As demons, they will not frequent La Sagrada and won’t be the biggest fans of religious-related talks. |
001. The first one isn’t exactly a rule, but a 002. Godmodding isn’t allowed. Play for your own characters. 003. Metagaming isn’t allowed as well. What your character knows isn’t necessarily as much as you know while mun. 004. Once a PB is put on hold, it automatically beings impossible for a second person to use it. It means: only a PB per character. 005. All three slash, femslash and het are allowed in this RPG, so it’s important for you to specify in your character’s app what’s his sexual orientation. 006. This is a threading RPG, so all the threads should be posted in the community of the game, yettobesaved_rp. 007. Mary Sues and Gary Stus won’t be allowed by any chance, especially considering that your character must have something wrong, otherwise he wouldn’t need the so-called-salvation. He can be a liar, a cheater, manwhore, up for all sorts of gossiping and even a killer if so you like, but he cannot be perfect. 008. Regarding to the character limit, five characters will be allowed per player, but please, don’t play five women or five men. Try to balance it. 009. You aren’t sure of who you’re going to choose as PB? We recommend Hollow Art. Not sure of what the name your character will have? We recommend Generator Of Random Names. 010. The two angels and demons are not playable. You must play a human. 011. Be plausible. If you work all night, you cannot be feeling just fine by the day. Your character has to sleep by some time. Also you can drug yourself or drink if so you want, but please keep in mind that there's a limit for everything. If you don't want to kill your character, there's no way you could make him drink 37 shots of tequila. |
The following code will be used in your profile. It was made by chaperoned and you shall edit it the way you find appropriate. For examples, you can see here or here. |
Threads that will be open to all will be only made by the mods. Except for that, thread away. |
