Decided to revive this because it was a good RP and people seemed to enjoy it!

So this is based off of a book called This Savage Song by Victoria Scwab (I recommend it! Don’t have to read the book to participate, the info is below!) and it’s sort of set in a dystopian universe, in the world of Verity. In this rp, there would be two sides, the north sector and the south sector. In the north sector, there are cities and beautiful towns, which are home to humans. The south sector is in ruins, cities falling apart, and it is home to the creatures living there, but there will be more on them in a moment! The humans and the monsters have been in a long war, only separated by a high wall in between the sectors so that no monsters could get through. But the wars have calmed, and now things are simply tense between the two sectors. Now, onto the fun part: the monsters!

Corsai: These are generally inhuman looking creatures that are made completely out of shadow. They don’t have a human looking appearance, or an animal looking appearance- something like a monsterous looking mix between the two. They don’t usually speak, just give incoherent whispers that could be enough to drive a person insane. They feed off of humans, and can be found in both the north and the south sectors. Darkness fuels them, and things like light, fire, and iron weaken them. They are known for their savage nature and their visciousness when killing. They usually will be seen in groups of their own kind, lone Corsai are barely seen.

Malchai: These are human looking creatures that are usually unnaturally tall, have red eyes, pale skin, and sharp teeth and nails. Malchai also usually have a “birthmark”, which is simply an unusual color that it streaked on their skin (Example: a Malachi may have a light blue streak across the side of their neck). These creatures also have a solid, thick bone plate for ribs, making them difficult to kill by stabbing to the chest. The creatures can be found in both the north and south sectors. They feed off of meat, usually humans. Though, in the north sector, humans keep them as “pets” or slaves, controlling them using things such as electric shock collars. Blood fuels them, and electricity and iron weakens them. In the north sector, they can be found with their humans either alone or in groups (never not with a person in the north, though some do revolt). In the south, they rebel together and are usually the ones who cause trouble.

Sunai: These are some of the most rare and powerful creatures. They are born when disaster strikes, such as a hurricane or school shooting that kills many. When they are created, they usually take the age of those who were the most killed (so if children are killed, the Sunai will appear as a child). They look extremely human, the only give away being their markings (more on that in a sec) or, when a picture or video of them is taken, there is black smudging/streaking over where their eyes should be. They can only be found in the south sector, though some sneak into the north sector to blend in with the humans or to reap/feed. To reap/feed, they use music. Each Sunai comes into existence with an instrument. Using that instrument, they are able to reap/feed off of the souls of humans (can only reap sinners souls. Sinners souls, like those who have committed murder or a major crime, have a glowing red tint to their skin that only a Sunai can see). A Sunai gets a new marking every time they do reap/feed (example: if their markings are tally marks, then they get a new tally mark for every time they reap/feed). If a Sunai goes 72 hour’s without reaping/feeding, they go through a process of going “Dark” or “Falling”. They grow very hot and feverish, eventually overheating. When they go “Dark” they turn into something inhuman, forgetting themselves and causing mass destruction. A Sunai can only go dark two times in their existence. If a third time happens, it will die. After going dark, their skin is cleansed of all previous markings. Another thing is that it is impossible for a Sunai to lie. But, others always feel compelled to tell the truth if speaking to a Sunai (mostly seem during reaping/feedings. The sinner will tend to confess what they have done in the prescience of a Sunai). Their only known weakness is iron, and they can be found either in groups or alone, though there are usually not enough to form a full group.

Rules:

  • Absolutely no being rude to others outside of the rp, keep the hate between characters.
  • LGTBQ people are accepted in this RP! If you aren’t comfortable with it, then this probably isn’t the thing for you.
  • This will be rated R because of violence, gore, and profanity. If you’re characters want to fool around, I suggest taking it to PM.
  • Please try and not all be Sunai! It says above, they are very rare creatures! (Preferably only 3 Sunai. I will be a Sunai just to help guide the RP, so that leaves 2 more spots. It’s first-come-first-serve!)
  • Try and be literate! That means no one liners or anything like that. Preferably no less than three good sentences.
  • Don’t make any big plot changes or kill off anyone’s characters without running it by with the other people in the RP and myself.
  • Don’t be over powered, and this goes for everyone, not just Sunai characters.
  • Ships are fine, but it’s better to let things take its course. If there are ships, make sure it’s approved on both ends.

@Lenered

(@ShadeStar, the markings of a Sunai are markings that track how many lives a Sunai has reaped, so like the markings would be rose petals or stitches or dots)

@Desvelarse pets

Name: Ronan Madison
Age: Was created at 16, but is now 20.
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Pansexual
Preferred Pronouns: He/Him
Species: Sunai
Relations: None
Markings: Cross like shapes that trail up his arms, shoulders, collar bone area, shoulder blades, and neck.
North or South Sector?: Lives in the South Sector, but travels to the North Sector to feed.
Appearance: Black pompadour styled hair, light blue eyes, lighter toned skin, clean cut features, more of a toned build, around 6’1 or so, various tiny scars across his skin.
Personality: Tends to be sarcastic when you first meet him, though when he first meets another Sunai he is immediately accepting and protective, wary, defensive, more introverted, thoughtful, affectionate.
Talents: Playing the violin, holding up a conversation, giving advice.
Weaknesses: Terrible lier, tends to blame himself for a lot of things that he shouldn’t, grows attached too easily.
Fears: Going Dark/Falling, humans and what they’re capable of, guns.
Background: He was created during a mass high school shooting, one that killed over 50 students. He was found among a class room, every other student dead, clutching a violin. Law enforcement thought he was the only survivor in the room, traumatized so he wasn’t speaking. But in reality, he had no idea how to speak. He ran off from a foster home to the South Sector, where a human took him in. He trusted the human, a man named Mark, who gave him his name and a place to stay. But, the human manipulated him into killing the men who wronged Mark. When Ronan found out and tried to leave, he was smacked over the head with an iron pole and knocked out. He had woken up, chained in the basement. Mark planned to starve him to try and kill him. But, after 72 hours, Ronan changed into something more monsterous, killing Mark, others, and practically destroying the whole block. He ran off after that, hiding out in an abandoned parking garage where he now lives.
Other: He travels between sectors through a cave passageway that the officials in the North Sector are unaware of.
