Hello guys! I got a storyline idea in the middle of study hall, so… why not try that out?

Storyline Idea:

Everybody has their demons.
Alcoholism. Abuse. Lies. Trauma. An accident. Mental Illness.
But now, everybody's demons are taking sentient forms. The burdens that tear their victim apart take more vicious forms, swathed in encapsulation of the victim's worst fears.
But for those who have overcome their past demons, they never leave— it's the victim's mindset and coping of the trauma that determines the form the demon takes. A person who has healed mentally from abuse; their demon, who could have once been a rabies-toothed mongoose, could now be a harmless mouse.
And now everybody has to face and fight their demons.

Post a bio if you want to join— no need to ask! Just make sure you follow the rules.

  1. If your character has superpowers, make sure they don't go insanely overboard, please. (Ex: Bob has healing powers. Nothing effects him and he heals everybody. The storyline becomes obsolete because no action or risk is happening…)
  2. As always with common courtesy, please be aware and avoid mary/gary sues (perfect, flawless characters) (flaws make things interesting, ladies and gents!)
  3. When writing your bio, make sure to add the character's 'demon' or issue, and if the demon's form is highly dangerous or passive :)
  4. Once it seems the joining flow has stopped, we'll get started! Thanks guys!

My character:

Name: Jonathan Fincher (goes by John, Jonah, and Jonathan)

Gender: male

Looks: Quite a roundish face, but splashed with freckles. Despite how childlike his face is, one can still tell his general age from its structure and his build. He has a head of full, thick and ver untameable curls, and dark brown eyes— they look black, until the sun or lights hit his irises just right. He's pretty short, at around 5'5". Always wears long sleeves, and it's typically sweaters.

Persona: ENFP-T; It seems like this guy never really grew up past the age of twelve. He's very cordial, friendly, and ridiculously sensitive. Despite being straighter than a ruler, he comes off feminine at times because of his personality, and thus tries to break that assumption by oftentimes taking dumb risks and avoiding asking for help.

Demon(s):
Abuse (childhood, from his father. Due to his lack of a fatherly figure in his life, he tends to befriend and trust other men easier than women, strangely, which also adds in to the assumption of feminity) —Rabid wolf
Alcoholism (mild addiction, but enough to burden guilt) —Street rat (like those big fat evil ones, not soft beans that you find at the pet store)
Mentality (loneliness/not a very good self confidence) —European Starling (More passive than the others, but is with him at all times. Has a habit of pecking his head with its beak)

@KalamariCakes

Lol. If your character has a demon that they've completely gotten over, also, that demon could actually be a friendly talisman if you chose. Its up to you to gauge the demon's aggressiveness
Just a side note, lol

@WriteOutofTime

oh whoops. Dara's demon is a shapeshifting person-eque creature. Tall and slender with fangs and claws, or short and plump with the face of her mother –it changes.

Jonathan grasped for his cell phone. A flip phone, because the nineteen-year-old couldn't afford an Iphone or such— living off ramen noodles and pop tarts. Of course he didn't remember the numbers to the help hotline. It didn't stop him from punching in numbers with unsteady fingers, shaking, and calling whomever he had mistakenly dialed— who happened to be Griffin.

@lafaithreine group

Name: Ace

Age: 23

Gender: NonBinary Demigirl (she/they)

Sexuality: Panromatic Demisexual

Talents: Doubting Myself, Writing, Computer Stuff, Procrastination, and Kinda Good at Controlling Emotions because of their power

Looks: Ace has galaxy hair, that's a short, mess. They're eyes are bright green (think Harry Potter), that glow whenever she does magic, and is normally wearing a studded choker with a flower crown,

Personality: They're sarcastic, as shit, also hilarious tho, she's easily annoyed by people, but she's an extrovert so, and they're very knowledgeable on magic types because she grew up in a magic Realm

Powers: They can use their emotions to emit like energy waves, that hurt people, but she can't do that for very long because it quickly leader them to a depressive state because it used her emotions, than Infra can really hurt her more. Also sometimes it happens without their knowledge which is really bad because you know depression and exhaustion

Demon: Her Inferiority Complex, and her Superiority Complex , basically she feels like she'll never be enough but is also enough, and Infra (Inferiority) is very quiet and just watches Ace. and Rio(Superiority) is very there, and in Ace's face all the time, and can be very destructive to their mental health and emotions, but oh well.

Griffin’s hands trembled as he picked up the phone, willing his voice bit to quiver as a silverback gorilla beat down on his back. “Hello?”

@KalamariCakes

"H-Hey," he spoke faintly. The man on the other end bore an english accent,
"Is… this the help hotline? Sorry," he apologized needlessly. "Um, hah. Sorry."

@blue_topaz

Griffin shook his head, confused. “Sorry sir. Wrong number.” His heart ached with sympathy for the boy in the other end.
