Before reading all this, I want to point out that this RP will follow the same tone as Clash of Bounty hunters did. Meaning that I expect all the players to have fun and to take it seriously. I reserve the right to not accept anything un-fun (read: unfair players, OP characters, etc).
With that out of the way, let me explain what's going on here:
Basically, the world has gone to hell.
In the year 2300 AD, a meteor struck the Earth. It was relatively small, as far as meteors go, but it's what was inside that began the horrible chain of events. A monster named Nasharozael, humanoid in his form but larger than any human could hope to be, emerged from his container with magical power that the world had never seen before, and absolutely destructive in its strength.
Nashar cast a series of spells, and each one corrupted thousands and thousands of square miles of land, causing wicked beasts and monstrosities to be born into the world, joining their master's quest to make the planet his own. Technology was useless against the monster's magic, and humanity was all but helpless as it fought against his evil minions. Nashar's conquest furthered, and the land he corrupted grew greater and greater and greater.
As the war raged on for decades, Mankind learned that weapons held by a human being, swung in their own arms and backed by their will, could not be stopped by magic. The world reverted back to an age of swords and shields and armor, although much of its advanced technology still remained. They began to fight back, but so much of the Earth was corrupted that the battle still seemed hopeless.
Now, it seems that something remarkable has happened.
Most humans born into Nashar's corrupted land become twisted and evil beings. Unable to sustain their bodies, they grow into little more than ghoulish zombies. But this isn't always the case.
In extremely rare cases, humans that are blessed with powerful minds and wills at birth are sometimes able to survive being born in the corrupted lands. The result of this is that these people have Nashar's magic within them, and a variety of other almost supernatural qualities. They were quickly named the Blessed. With their minds, magic and amazing skills, this generation of blessed children, microscopic in their numbers, have the potential to become extremely powerful heroes who can not only fight against Nashar's forces, but purify the world that was once corrupted.
There's only one problem. None of these people have the slightest idea how to use their abilities.
So the Academy of Heroes was created, founded by the very first of the Blessed Ones. He is now too old to fight Nasharozael himself, but with his wisdom and knowledge he can teach this new generation of Blessed how to discover their own power inside of them, and become strong enough to turn the war against evil around, and eventually slay Nashar himself.
Unless they all die along the way.
Nashar is aware of these Blessed children who are slowly being born. And with how rare it is for these children to form, he knows that all he has to do is end their lives and Humanity will finally fall. Some Blessed Ones even decided to forsake Humanity and join him. Victory is not guaranteed, and there's a very real chance that you will die along the way against your will.
Do you have what it takes?
The next step of joining the RP:
The next thing I require from you, as with any RP, are characters. This is pretty straightforward, but keep in mind that you won't be very strong just starting out. I won't accept characters that are too powerful. Fill out this character sheet and I'll add you to the game, and we will begin when the time comes.
Also, do not try to enter your RHG characters. Lots of them wouldn't fit into this world.
Name:
Appearance:
Backstory: (This doesn't have to be terribly long)
Personality: (What your character is like, how he thinks and talks, etc)
Magical Power: (This can be literally anything that makes sense. However, not every Blessed One has magic, some have other skills.)
Superhuman Traits: (Strength and speed and cunning. Magic Blessed Ones can only have very weak superhuman traits. Characters with no magic have very powerful Traits.)
Equipment: (This is everything from your mostly-useless guns to your magical weapons.)
There will also be at least one "evil" player who I contacted before making this. There will probably be 2 or 3. They will be backed by Nashar's evil forces, but they're also just as killable as you are.
Now for the important part. The Rules:
-Your characters are not perfect. They screw up sometimes. When you want to do something that effects another player, don't include the results of what happened without giving the other player a chance to respond. So rather than saying "Aleck swings his sword mightily and chops off the head of Lucy," this would work better: "Aleck mightily swings his sword, trying to chop off the head of Lucy."
-You
can kill other players. However, I will be the judge if your plan of attack was pulled off well enough to be successful. This will be done realistically: if you've attacked your enemy in such a way that there seems to be no way that he'll survive, you will probably kill him. But if you do so in a way that's unrealistic and doesn't make sense, it probably wont work.
-When you make your character to join, include the phrase "Chocolate thunder" in your post so I know you read the rules ;)
-You are not the sole hero of the story. Don't talk for other players unless you have to, and don't make decisions for them. And most importantly, don't portray yourself to be any stronger than they are.
I think that's it! Anyone can join this if they're willing to take it seriously and have fun.

After hearing of the Academy of Heroes he knew what he had to do. On the day of his departure his father handed him two objects: The first, his blacksmith hammer. The hammer had special properties that made it heavier than most hammers, but it was lighter than than a can of beans to anyone from the Torge bloodline. Secondly his father gave him his masterpiece.

Carrying these items, Baren left for the Academy.[/FONT][/FONT]

[font]Appearance: 1,70 mt tall, she has a red [/font]long hair, green eyes, is usually wearing a normal shirt and trousers[/FONT]

[font]After that experience hanna also found o[/font]ut that she had a high pain resistance and was inmune to electricity. Her dad trained her for a few years until Hanna turned 15, then he gave her a special sword that could stretch and turn into a kind of lasso full of a powerful electric charge to defend herself and a shield.[/FONT]
[font]At the age of 17, Hanna decided to fight[/font] for humanity's survival, defend her family and hopefully in a near future defeat Nasharozael.[/FONT]
[font]Personality: Hanna has a strong personal[/font]ity, if someone insults her she'll probably hit them in the face before finishing the sentence, however she is an easy-going person, hates unfairness and has a really strong moral.[/FONT]

[font]Appearance: His black silky smooth mid-l[/font]ength hair falls shoulder length, going [/FONT]
[font]towards the bottom of his neck and just [/font]above his upper back as the smooth bangs fall over his piercing green eyes a lot, causing him to brush them away constantly. He usually wears a casual T-shirt, tight around his muscular torso which revealed his toned abs, covered with a plain black hoodie. He usually only puts his hoodie up in places he doesn't know, as he is an outgoing person and likes to show his face. His pants were just regular faded blue jeans, the knees torn up slightly, but he never really cared as his resistance to cold was fairly high. Finally, he adorns on his feet a pair of dark black combat boots, with two spikes at the toes of each boot.[/FONT]
[font]Personality: He's fairly intelligent, hi[/font]gher up in I.Q. than an average human being, or even an average Blessed One. However, with his intelligence, also comes a sociopathic personality. He loves the sight and sense of someone's murder, and truly believes that while he follows the forces of Nashar, he is still a god. [/FONT]
[font]Backstory: He was one of the Blessed One[/font]s. Born from Nashar's great and corruptive power, but was miraculously not transformed into a little ghoulish being like the other mutilated monstrosities. He was pure as could be. However, nobody had ever hauled him into the Academy of Heroes and taught him how to harness his powers in the correct fashion. He also had nobody teach him right from wrong. In fact, he had nobody, period. This feeling of loneliness and unimportance slowly corrupted him from the inside out. One of Nashar's leading lietunants found him sitting on the corrupted ground, looking into the sunset. While he looked like your average every day Blessed One, it was obvious. He was emenating a sort of evil. Realizing this, the officer took him to Nashar, where his backstory was told. Nashars only question to him was if he wanted to learn the dark arts and destroy the ones who had turned away from him. Sirius' only response was "I just want their blood to drip onto the ground. I want them to be burned as ash. To be as black as my heart."[/FONT]
[font]Magical Power: None, but he is very dura[/font]ble against dark based attacks. [/FONT]
[font]Superhuman traits: He has amazing speed,[/font] becoming a blur to the average human eye. He also has amazing strength and is powerful enough to crush a regular human's hand without breaking a sweat. In hand to hand combat (As well as any sword combat), he would destroy many of the human fighters. His cunning is also advanced, his IQ extremely high. [/FONT]
[font]Equipment: A pair of flash bangs, attach[/font]ed at his calves inside of small pockets. On his belt is a sheath for his trusted knife that he has carried with him all his life, Massacre. Massacre is the only magically enchanted piece of equipment or power he has. Whenever any form of blood touches the blade of Massacre, whether it is a Blessed One's a beast's or his own, the knife expands. With enough blood, it could eventually become a full length sword. It is also always sharpened to a perfect point.[/FONT]
Age: 14
[font]Appearance: 5'8" and 160 lbs of lithe mu[/font]scles, shaggy hair that covers his eyes, that are yellow. His muscles aren't very big but are very durable and strong. He wears clothing that with his abilities, are able to change colors. He wears a hoodie, mittens that can fold back and become fingerless, and baggy jeans, along with steel toed shoes.[/FONT]
[font]Backstory: No one expected him to surviv[/font]e his baby ages, the power of Nesharozael was overwhelming and Castro was smaller than most Blessed Ones. So to avoid him from harming the other babies, he was kept within the stable among the livestock. Miraculously, Castro was able to push back Neshar's dark powers and was able to stay human. However as he lived each day, the life force of the animals around him would be slightly drained. He grew up and on his 8th birthday, the first goat died. A horse died two months later, and by his 10th birthday, everything within the stable was dead. The mentors could tell something was wrong, so they sent him into the woods, where he would live and train with the hermits, keeping his evil presence away from the other students of the Academy.[/FONT]
[font]Personality: He's very silent and reserv[/font]ed, drawn more towards drawing and sculpting than interacting. The death of the animals around him, and the constant draining of life force had made him avoid people and company. He is very close to the hermits who teach him, but would always sleep well away from them so that his power wouldn't hurt them. He's silently very caring and kind, but his powers prevent him from showing it.[/FONT]
[font]Magical power: He has the power to drain[/font] the life force of those around him. The drain isn't very powerful, and isn't noticeable, but the drain can kill insects in a second. If he touches their bare skin with his own, the sapping becomes more focused upon them. Draining enemies' life forces enhances his regeneration abilities, so the more he hurts things, the more he heals. He also has the power to change the color of his clothing like a chameleon, from normal colors, to the colors of trees or the dirt. A good assassin[/FONT]
[font]Superhuman traits: Peerless eyesight, wh[/font]ether in light or darkness, above average speed, agility, nimbleness, and hand-eye coordination[/FONT]
[font]Equipment: Claws, half moon blades, enci[/font]rcling from the thumb to the pinkie.[/FONT]
[font]Throwing/stabbing knives, that can also [/font]be nestled between his fingers for improv knuckles, small, shaped like ellipses, about as long as an index finger[/FONT]
