In a city where power is everything, only the strongest survive. Man is only an animal, after all.
Every person has a daemon. A reflection of their soul in animal form, by their side from the moment a person is born to the moment of their death. The bond between human and daemon is unbreakable, if one dies the other will soon follow.
In recent years the city has fallen to gangs, those who use their daemons to gain power through any means necessary. It began with fighting rings but has grown into something much bigger. The Big Four, so they're called.
The Bears to the North.
The Wolves to the East.
The Leopards to the West.
The Lions to the South.
Each gang runs their own sector of the city, keeping to their own territory. When they ever meet, however, it's not good for anyone. And if you happen to be caught in the middle? That's even worse for you.
Even more alarming than the gangs themselves is the interconnection they seem to have with the suddenly daemonless people cropping up in hospitals - not dead, but certainly not whole. Who's behind it? Whose side do you choose?
Ive probably called a rp this before but whatever, Lana del rey 5ever my dudes.
Ive been wanting to do a daemon-based rp for forever so HERE WE ARE. And the comic ive been reading sort of inspired the plot :') idk this could turn out as a mess but i think itd be cool?
Btw the 'gangs' are like mobster/mafia types. But they do illegal things. I dunno all the details yet.
Also to be in a specific one your character doesn't have to have that specific daemon. Those are just the supposed daemons of each gang leader, if that makes sense.
Your character also doesn't need to be in one, but for them to be part of the plot they'll have to get caught up in it all eventually.
You can of course have multiple characters.
I haven't yet decided if I want to let anyone play a mob boss yet ONLY because if we all start off in different groups that makes it hard to get the plot rolling.
OH and since this is based off a comic loosely, the characters are like youngish. In the comic theyre in high school but for my sanity we'll say college. OH OH okay so you can be apart of the 4 different groups or whateva, but let's say all our characters attend the same school and thats how they know each other. Yes. I need to type this out better but I think I know how to make it work.
Um. Hm.
Daemons! Please think logically about the daemon you give to your character. They have to be an extant (living) species. No dinos, no mammoths, no dragons, no unicorns. They should be able to move on land because why would you have a dolphin daemon that can't be near you? And they should be reasonably-ish sized. I'd say the biggest would be like, a horse? Or moose? No elephants or giraffes my guys. Just. Be logical. Use ur brain.
Ugh sorry this is rambly but anyway if you're interested just lemme know and I'll post a card eventually! And if you have any questions just ask, it's somewhat late here so I understand if this didn't make any sense to y'all.
