View Full Version : Requiem of the Forgotten

A nightmare you shan't awake from.

A war that was never meant to be waged.

We walk with disembodied shadows in hopes of being saved.

We walk with them in vain.

Everything you see here is an illusion - or at least that's what you'd like to tell yourself. That's what you'd love to believe. Here on what's left of Earth, everything is far too real... far too Hell embraced. People run amongst the phantom-like streets of long ago cities, praying for redemption. Redemption, my friend, is not an option here - the God so many people left their souls with has come and gone, and has taken those he thought worthy with him. But those who are left behind... they're [b][color=red]- PLEASE REPORT ME FOR SWEARING!!! -[/color][/b][b][color=red]- PLEASE REPORT ME FOR SWEARING!!! -[/color][/b][b][color=red]- PLEASE REPORT ME FOR SWEARING!!! -[/color][/b][b][color=red]- PLEASE REPORT ME FOR SWEARING!!! -[/color][/b]ed, forced to walk the face of the world that's been forgotten. All the vibrant colors the Earth used to hold are faded and weary now from the war that ended long ago. A war between man and angel, a fight for heaven that failed... a fight that ended in unnecessary blood shed. Most died - but a few prevailed, giving life back to the forgotten world. Scattered families and shattered minds collide at times, but people are hesitant of making contact with strangers...

We're all waiting to wake from this nightmare - waiting for someone to save us and our souls. A key, unknown in appearance or location, is the last remaining chance for the salvation of us all from this Hell we've been trapped within. Yet many of us are unaware of exactly what we're searching for when we dig in the ruins of long ago empires; the need to search is merely an automatic psychological need. You're looking for it too aren't you? Digging in the past and praying for a miricle? Fighting others for things that you hope to be what you're looking for? Do you dream of things that make little sense, yet are vivid and frightening as well? The violence and hopelessness of this world will kill us all in the end, I fear - our demise creeps ever closer.

We were left behind; we are the forgotten.

The building behind me, ridden with flame and ash, would soon be lost in a pool of more important memories - it would fade away from my thoughts as it had from those who had long abandoned it's depths. The arches burned; the remains of shattered stained glass grew hot; the pews set fire with ease - yes, the church would soon be forgotten. The fire had relieved the stress and frustration towards the one who had left me, as those like me, behind. After all, what had we done so terrible as to be forgotten? So vile? So evil? Absolutely nothing. The sound of faint footsteps falling upon the cracked concrete met my ears among the popping and cracking noises of the fire. Hesitantly, I turned to see an unfamiliar face.

"Who are you? What do you want?"

Name: Loprath

Race: The Guiltless

"Tis I, Loprath the Lobotomist. Like 'Lop' and 'Wrath'. I hold no personality within my scarred cranium, nor any guilt. You shall be my final victim before eternal rest. Succumb to the temptaion of sociopathy. Become one of us Vivian."

*Pulls out a blood-stained scythe*

*Requests permission to lobotomize Vivian* (Only if you want to LinZ. Keep your conscience if you must =P)

(After being lobotomized, the victim will be one of The Guiltless)

"My emotion, my thoughts, my personality - those are the things that are valuable to me in this world now. Why would I willingly let go of them so suddenly?"

Fear coursed through the length of my spine as I looked into the eyes of Loprath with a challenging gaze and turned away, hopeful that he'd leave me be.

Sadly, those things are of no interest to Loprath. He slices out a sizable chunk of Vivian's brain, and murmurs, "I'll be taking this for safe keeping..." He melts away into the shadows.

Welcome to the Guiltless.

Vivian has a choice to make:

a) Pursue Loprath the Lobotomist (If you REALLY want your brain... =P)

b) Crumple Into a Depressed Heap on the Cobble Stones

c) Wreak Havoc

The pain was overwhelming - but not as overwhelming as the change between Human and Guiltless. All good emotion melted away and the difference between right and wrong went with it. I paused for a moment, weighing my options - and then crept into the shadows after Loprath.

Loprath trips, (The Guiltless Prefer 3rd Person :3) and curses under his breath. His head hits the ground, leaving a painful bruise. Painful, but uncomparable to the pain he feels as Vivan's sword enters his mangled brain. Now more doomed than before, Loprath the Phage floats off of the ground, unable to feel, unable to touch. His scythe, and Vivan's brain are gone.

Race: Phage

Name: Femil
Race: Human; Former Angel

Femil was standing on cobbled streets far away once an angel, but with her powers taken away in the bloody war. She herself was very bloody with various open wounds. She crawled into a little of clothe shelter between 2 market benches to put medicine on her wounds.

It was gone. Maureen wasn't sure what had happened, only that something was missing. There were a few people, so that wasn't it.

Emotions are for the weak, I told myself as the true nature of my new being began to sink in. I knew that my mind was altered by the feeling of being Guiltless but I was far past caring. The urge to go after Loprath the Phage left me, and instead of trying to retrieve my brain, I merely walked back out of the shadows and into the fading glow of the burning church - prepared to wreck havoc upon anyone in my way...

(Changed my mind. x])

Dead, deserted, and yet somehow horribly alive, Loprath turns away from the gates of Hell, and follows the cries and screams of the innocent, until he finds himself facing Vivian. Though she is one of The Guiltless, maybe she will still have mercy upon him, and give him back his mangled chunk of brain.

*Request to Vivian for a Partnership (And my Brain =P)*

(If Vivian says yes, Loprath will once again be one of The Guiltless)

(If she says no, Loprath the Phage and his army of lobotomized Guiltless will most likely be a tad angry)

I look with hollow eyes upon Loprath, and then down to the flesh I hold in my hand.

"Here, take it. I have no use for it and I'd rather not carry it around with me. Yet you must realize I do not do this out of sympathy, but merely out of practical purpose."

Not bothering to hand it over in a dignified manner, I throw it in front of me towards Loprath the Phage.

Loprath's lips move, but no words come out. He picks up the discarded brain, and plunges it deep into his hollow skull. Words begin to emmerge from his mouth, "You have proven yourself worthy Vivian. Take these as a consolation."
Thirteen gaunt figures emmerge from the shadows around Vivian. She readies her sword, and is surprised when they bow.

Hesitantly, I look upon the figures with a questioning gaze.

"What.. what are they?"

I look on as I see two people talking to one another. Something isn't right, I can feel it. I hope something normal will happen soon. For now, I observe.

"What.. what are they?"

"These are a very small portion of The Guiltless. They will follow simple commands, and are incapable of disobeying you. They are remenants from days long past, when I was sloppy at my work. I'm afraid you'll find that many of them are missing more of their brains than yourself."

Loprath hesitates, before muttering, "атакуйте самолет-нарушитель". The thirteen Guiltless swarm around a frightened human (That's you Cha-Cha), pinning her to the ground.

Watching with mild interest, I walk over to where the thirteen Guiltless have pinned a human close to the ground, causing blatant pain and making breathing difficult. I kneel down beside her, a smirk painted among my calm expression.

"Hm. Who are you?"

I heard one of the people say something in a foreign language, and before I knew it, I was on the ground. A girl asked me who I was. "I'm..." I struggled to breathe, trying to keep my dignity intact. "Maureen..." I wanted to shove them off of me, but the odds of them staying away were against me. Thirteen people against one person whose biggest accomplishment was starting a riot during a protest- I was sure to die. Besides, I was weak, and they knew it.

Loprath looks down at Maureen, bitterly amused. "Отступление," he mutters. The thirteen Lesser Guiltless retreat, forming a circle around Vivian. "Why are you here Maureen?"

Now there was a question Maureen didn't know the answer to. She paused for a bit, trying to come up with a story to tell them. Maybe if she told them something interesting, they would leave her alone. No, that wouldn't work. Her friend, Mark, was always the practical one. What would he say? Tell them the truth. Maureen mentally rolled her eyes. Morality might get her killed at this point. But there wasn't much else to do. "I don't know." She said. "First everything was normal, and then..." She made some sort of hand gesture. "It wasn't, I guess."

With a certain level of respect for Maureen for not merely trying to run away, I eyed her cautiously.

"What do you mean, exactly? Are you talking about... the war? Or something else?"

Character: Desacral The Fallen Angel

Leaning against a decrepit building, Desacral wondered why she had chosen this life, her soul was empty, and her body was fragile, and she was as lonely as she had ever been. She opened her bag where she found a small locket, she held the locket, feeling it's edges, remembering the life she once had, with all the riches and all the dreams and all of the passions. She heard voices in the distance.

I shrugged. "Basically... everything I knew, I guess. Something just feels very wrong."
