Hello! This rp is based in an original world made by me and @kyuukestu. It will follow a more story-like structure rather than a super open world approach. We will make sure to fill it with tons of fun quests for your characters to take on. Now without further blabbering... here's the details!
P.S this will be a fairly darker rp, think on the level of Berserk or AoT

P.S this will be a fairly darker rp, think on the level of Berserk or AoT
It all happened so suddenly. Just when everything finally seemed like they were going back to normal, the ground began to rumble. At first it was subtle, something you might have chalked up to construction workers near by, but the rumbling only grew stronger. Buildings began to tilt and collapse, record breaking tsunamis wiped out entire cities entire cities in an instant. Then, amongst all the screaming and crying, it all went quiet. A sheet of clouds covered the sun and left the world in complete and utter darkness. This would mark the beginning of the month we now call The Haunting.
You couldn't see your family curled up beside you- that's how dark it was. It was complete and uttered silence intermittently disturbed by monstrous noises followed by ghoulish screams of agony escaping from your neighbors house, but eventually these screams turned into our only source of comfort, because at the very least it meant the unseen creatures weren't in your house. It was estimated that roughly 30% of the worlds population died during these times. It wasn't until later that we would realize they were the lucky ones.
At the end of our month of darkness, we were met with a flash of light- too much light. Every volcano on the planet erupted at once, but once the lava hit the sky it did not fall. The rivers of magma flowed through the air and met at a singular point, forming the demonic six headed dragon who proclaimed his name Natas.
Natas bellowed a single roar and shattered the barrier between earth and hell, allowing the spirits of all the damned to flood back into the earth. However, spirits cannot exist without a host, and the ghosts of history began claiming the living as their hosts, transforming those without a strong will into monsters. 50% of the worlds remaining population has perished. The last chance to fight back is now.

If you can't beat them, join them, gain their strength, then beat them.
A secret organization of strong-willed individuals devoted to saving the human race. They have discovered a way to fight the spirits by merging themselves with spirits without allowing them to gain control through a process called "Splicing." The characters in our rp will find themselves being recruited to the organization where they will then have the opportunity to splice themselves with spirits that they defeat as members.

Name: Titus
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Position: Co-Founder
Ambition: To protect his family
Appearance: Titus stands at about 6'1 and weighs around 200lbs. He has shaggy black hair, similarly dark eyes, and tan skin. He has had to adapt his clothing quite a bit due to the nature of his splice and only wears a black tank top that reveals his toned muscular arms decorated with scars, black athletic shorts, and black sandals he can easily slide in and out of.
Personality: Though he may be a bit stern at first, it is solely out of necessity to keep the spirit he hosts in check. Titus himself is truly an extremely kind and easy going person, but in order to prevent the spirit he holds from going out of control he has to constantly focus on suppressing its violent urges.
Backstory: Titus was born from a teen pregnancy and rape and as a result ended up in foster care. He never complained about it though as he was compassionate enough to understand the terrible circumstances his mother was in and he always felt extremely loved by his foster parents. Still though, he developed quite the complex personality as he hated his father for doing such a terrible thing to his mother and he hated that his birth resulted in an unnecessary burden for his foster parents. In order to repay the debt he perceived his very existence to be, Titus was always an exemplary child. He excelled in school and athletics and was always a good caretaker to the younger children at the house. When he graduated high school he had received division one football offers across the nation and jumped at the opportunity for a career that would allow him to repay all those who had taken such good care of him.
When Natas brought hell to earth, Titus desperately tried to protect his family, but his mere human strength was nothing compared to the spirits and demons. Everyone he cared about was slaughtered right in front of his eyes as he laid there bloodied and useless. However, a strange instance occurred in which a wandering spirit noticed the boy's unwavering desire to protect his family and took mercy on him. The spirit decided to merge with Titus to save his life, granting him the immense power required to enact revenge against the demons. His only surviving family member then discovered that it was possible for humans to harness the power of the spirits and created a process through which splicing was possible. Together they made their organization 'Chimera' and set out to find exceptional people to join their fight against the demons.
Spirit

Name: Manticore
Ambition: To kill all demons
Ability: Can fuse with any part of Titus and grant him the abilities of the manticore.
Past: A boy of only age 9 was the victim of a group of demons that cackled in glee as they brutally tortured he and his family for the entire month of The Haunting.

When the demons told the boy they'd spare his life if he joined their ranks he spat in their face and swore he would kill them all before swiftly being decapitated. His spirit manifested out of the desire to create a form even more monstrous than the demons and to brutally murder them the way they killed his family.

Name: Zeke Brooks
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Position: Commander, Doctor
Ambition: To see a world where people can smile and laugh again
Appearance: Zeke has Crimson red hair, fair skin, and light blue eyes. He's a bit on the short side for a guy his age, standing at 5'8. He never was a very muscular person, but the disasters going on in the world forced him to bulk up a little bit and brought his weight to around 160lbs. He typically wears a maroon hoodie, black shorts, and tan sneakers, but the right sleeve of his hoodie has been torn off as his right arm is that of a gigantic lobster and he has red cardinal wings that sprout out of the back.
Personality: Zeke is an extremely kind and funny person. He almost instantly forms connections with people and has compassion for everyone. He is disturbed by some of Chimera's beliefs and often worries about Manticore's effect on Titus but he follows along because he knows that at his core Titus is a kind person.
Backstory: A graduate of the same university Titus attends though a few years his senior, they were chemistry lab partners while Zeke was in the last year of his pre-med degree before heading off medical school. They instantly formed a strong bond with each other. They would study together frequently, Zeke watched Titus in all the University's football games and Titus would go along with Zeke to open mic nights at comedy clubs and laugh at Zeke's dumb jokes when nobody else would. They truly were best friends, having a good understanding with each other due to the shared experiences of less than ideal childhoods. When Natas struck, Zeke was not worried about returning to the home of his abusive father, instead he made it his mission to find his friend. He somehow got lucky enough to find Titus and his sister but was shocked at the changes his friend's personality had undergone. Titus's sister explained how splicing work and Zeke happily volunteered himself, willing to do anything to rid the world of demons so people could smile again.

Name: Naomi Tanaka
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Position: Communications, Inventor
Ambition: To find her family
Appearance: Naomi was born to two first generation Japanese immigrants and shares their dark hair, pale skin, circular face, and narrow eyes. She most often wears her hair in a bob cut with bangs, though it has definitely been more messy ever since The Haunting. She typically wears a white puffer jacket over black leggings and tan boots, along with a gray beanie and a pair of pink headphones around her neck.
Personality: Naomi isn't a very talkative girl. She's never really had time to make friends due to the millions of thoughts that race around her head every hour. She is a certified genius, and as such she can tend to be a little bit blunt, feeling no need to soften the truth. She does care deeply for her family who she considers the best people on the planet and works her hardest to make sure she can one day get them all of the finest things that she believes they deserve.
Backstory: Growing up, her parents worked multiple jobs to make sure they could afford to keep her in school and care for her younger brother who with down syndrome. So, Naomi resolved to finish school as fast as possible and become someone that could provide for her entire family. She was extremely studious and graduated high school years before her peers. She forsake going to college and began her own startup tech company in California (away from her parent's home in Ohio). Much to her surprise, she was offered a multimillion dollar buyout within the first year due to the highly efficient coding algorithm she had invented. She immediately accepted and jumped on a plane to go see her parents when the Haunting began. Her plane crash landed, yet most of the passengers survived. During the next few months she relied on her intelligence to keep her alive, but unfortunately she was unable to keep all the passengers that followed her alive and ended up abandoning them after one suddenly turned into a monster that killed over half of their group. She couldn't risk a similar incident that would kill her before she could find her family. Eventually she was saved from a spirit by Titus and the others and accepted their offer to join Chimera. In exchange for her providing them with necessities they offered her protection and agreed to aid in the search for her family.
Spirit
Rank: C
Capacity: 21%
Name: James Tanaka
Ambition: To never lose contact with his loved ones
Ability: Gives Naomi the ability to use waves. Its primary function is to send telepathic messages to those she has given a mark, but it is capable or sending small pulses or distort the ground and the surroundings when forced into combat.
Past: The younger brother of Naomi with down syndrome. When his parents were hiding in the basement from the monstrous noises they were hearing on their middle floor, James realized that the monsters were looking for something and they wouldn't leave until they found it. Against his parent's will, the sweet child ran out of his hiding spot and began screaming, offering himself as a sacrifice so the monsters would move on from his house without ever finding his parents. Initially, Naomi had no intention of ever splicing as she didn't want to risk anything effecting her brain, but one day James's spirit attacked the Chimeras. He caught them off guard with his ability to cripple them mentally, but faltered for a moment after some sort of recognition happened when he took over Naomi's brain. Titus used this opportunity to defeat the host and after James's spirit escaped it attempted to possess Naomi. Though she was able to resist it, Naomi allowed the spirit to splice with her upon realizing it had to be her brother since the host faltered at the exact time Naomi remembered a silly but embarrassing story of her younger brother while the host was attempting to control her brain. After splicing, she was filled with a strange reassurance that her parents were alive and became more determined than ever to find them.

Name: Missy Oteugra
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Position: Surveillance/ Scout
Ambition: To help others grow strong enough to avoid being possessed and to find a way to put the spirits to rest
Appearance: Missy is a fairly petite girl, standing at just 5'3. She has short limbs, but is well filled out, adorning a curvy, womanly figure despite her small stature. Her skin is extremely fair with cold undertones, her veins nearly visible in most areas of her body, and her complexion easily bruised and blemished. Missy's face sits on a short neck, an ovular shaped head that seems a bit too big to fit the rest of her body. The woman's facial features consist of thin wrinkles by her eyes and mouth, which she's had since she was 19, a pair of pale lips, a pointed nose, and soft eyes. Her eye lashes are thick and long, although their blonde color makes them seem nearly nonexistent, overshadowing a pair of pale blue eyes that have likely lost some color since the start of the haunting. Missy's eyebrows are thick, a shade darker than her hair which reflects and almost bleach-blonde hue. Missy's hair is chopped off at her jaw, a make-shift bob that is blunt but uneven. The young woman wears a pair of black ripped jeans and sneakers, with a tie-dyed brown and black crop-top shit that's ripped in the back due to the growth of her wings.
Personality: Missy is a tough woman, with a tomb-boyish personality and a tendency to bite off more than she can chew. She can be boisterous and rough, but is actually a very supportive character. Even in her thuggish enthusiasm, it is clear to tell that Missy's main goal is to help people, especially those who she cares about. While brutish, Missy isn't one to stay in the spotlight. She does most of her work behind the scenes, and prefers to watch other's succeed with her help rather than take any credit herself. Since the incident involving her best-friend, Missy has developed an especially strong feeling of responsibility for helping other's control their own desires and fight off being possessed. She also has developed a soft spot for those who had people close to them taken by spirits, which seem to be a lot of people. Ever since learning about splicing, the woman has passionately expressed the necessity to get the information out to the rest of the world so that others can have the knowledge to take care of themselves.
Backstory: Missy had grown up perfectly average. An only child to two loving middle-class parents, she grew up playing softball. While not particularly scholarly, she earned herself a scholarship to play softball at a college a few hours away from her home. During her time at college, Missy had a roommate who she grew to love. Rebecca, Missy's roommate of 3 years and best friend, was an optimistic young woman with a warm heart. Missy had always admired Rebecca's ability to take charge through kindness. When the haunting began, Rebecca and Missy were stuck together- which the pair was perfectly content with. Even as spirits flooded the earth, hours away from her home, Missy was glad to be with her best friend. Together, she couldn't imagine anything bad ever happening. She couldn't have been more wrong. It seemed to happen so suddenly. Missy awoke to her best friend standing at the end of her bed. At first, it didn't strike her as odd- but the situation quickly grew ominous as Rebecca's completely still body began to contort. Missy froze, it didn't seem possible. What was in front of her suddenly wasn't her friend, it was a monster. Missy dove for a weapon, managing to escape the possessed body and get outside, but once she raised the weapon to defend herself she couldn't bring herself to do it. Instead, Missy lowered her weapon and closed her eyes. Within minutes Missy expected a swift death, but a loud crash proved otherwise. A human... or at least it seemed like a human, saved Missy. Saved is... a subjective term. They exterminated the evil spirit. They did what they had to... but Missy was sure she saw a glimpse of fear in the face of the dying creature. The person later introduced them self as a member of a group called Chimera, a group aiming to ultimately save the world. In a cathartic moment, the girl shot to her feet just before the Chimera member had begun to disappear, and she requested to join their cause. The memory is hazy, but without thinking them a series of words left Missy's lips "Please! I want to save them! The people and the spirits." Ever since that fateful day, Missy had been a loyal member of the Chimera organization.

Past: A nameless man who was born and died blind. He had always been jealous of those with sight. He didn't know exactly what he was missing, but he was sure that he was missing something.

Past: A child who lost his beloved dog just days before a fatal accident. His best friend since born, the 6 year old boy's dog suddenly went missing one day, and he had no way to find the pet. His parents were ultimately uninterested in helping the boy, claiming that the dog probably went off to die, so he was on his own. He searched high and low for the pooch, as well as a 8 year old could search. It was a stormy night, about a week into his search, that the boy walked along the road and called out the name of the dog. A mix of poor weather and his small size made it easy not to see the child, and an oncoming trucker proved that point. After hitting the boy, the truck kept moving- and within hours the boy died. He was in pain, but his main regret was never finding the dog.
Capacity: 7%
Name: Chiaroscuro
Ambition: To be able to see
Ability: Gives Missy a set of large, black bat-ears on her head that allow for enhanced hearing. Bat eyes give her enhanced vision with a zooming-type ability, her eyes look almost human besides the missing sclera. Also sports the same coal-colored, bat-styled wings sprouted from each shoulder blade.
Past: A nameless man who was born and died blind. He had always been jealous of those with sight. He didn't know exactly what he was missing, but he was sure that he was missing something. From a young age, he pushed people away. He denied other's help and claimed that he just wanted to die. He truly thought that life wasn't worth living without sight. He lived his entire life miserable, and passed away from an immune-compromise at the age of 60. On his death-bed, he only had one wish. He wanted to see. He said that he didn't care if anyone remembered him, he didn't care if he hurt or helped anyone, he didn't care if he lost everything else, he just wanted to be able to see.

After Natas merged the spirit and the real world, death stopped being the same thing. Whenever someone dies, their spirit manifests itself in a form representing their greatest ambition and wanders the earth looking for a living host they can force their ambition onto. Though most people would succumb to these wandering spirits and allow their twisted desires to control them, those with a particularly strong will are able to resist being possessed. Chimera has made it their mission to seek out these special individuals and create a counterforce to their demonic foes through splicing.
Splicing occurs when a person with a considerable amount of willpower willingly allows a spirit to inhabit their body without sacrificing full control. For instance, a person may choose to allow a fire based spirit to possess their arm and then gain the ability to produce flames with that arm.
Everyone has a limit of 49% to fill with spliced spirits. It will take more space to splice depending on the strength of the spirit.
S- 42-49% 7 Deadly Sins, Mythological Creatures (normally have the benefits of multiple other tiers combined)
A- 28-42% Demonic Summons
B- 21-28% Elemental Powers (lightning)
C- 7-21% Supernatural Abilities (teleportation)
D- 1-7% Physical Alterations (cheetah legs)
It is worth noting that anyone at full capacity (49%) would contain about the same amount of strength from spirits (someone with one S would be roughly equal to someone with 7 Ds).
Please note: Unless your character is an existing member of Chimera they will not be starting with a spirit. Spirits will be introduced throughout the rp for your character to splice with.

I’m not gonna have a main character OC so I can focus on writing enemies for all of you. Instead this guys just the leader of the organization and he’ll help out on bigger missions.
Name: Titus
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Ambition: To protect his family
Appearance: Titus stands at about 6'1 and weighs around 200lbs. He has shaggy black hair, similarly dark eyes, and tan skin. He has had to adapt his clothing quite a bit due to the nature of his splice and only wears a black tank top that reveals his toned muscular arms decorated with scars, black athletic shorts, and black sandals he can easily slide in and out of.
Personality: Though he may be a bit stern at first, it is solely out of necessity to keep the spirit he hosts in check. Titus himself is truly an extremely kind and easy going person, but in order to prevent the spirit he holds from going out of control he has to constantly focus on suppressing its violent urges.
Backstory: Titus was born from a teen pregnancy and rape and as a result ended up in foster care. He never complained about it though as he was compassionate enough to understand the terrible circumstances his mother was in and he always felt extremely loved by his foster parents. Still though, he developed quite the complex personality as he hated his father for doing such a terrible thing to his mother and he hated that his birth resulted in an unnecessary burden for his foster parents. In order to repay the debt he perceived his very existence to be, Titus was always an exemplary child. He excelled in school and athletics and was always a good caretaker to the younger children at the house. When he graduated high school he had received division one football offers across the nation and jumped at the opportunity for a career that would allow him to repay all those who had taken such good care of him.
When Natas brought hell to earth, Titus desperately tried to protect his family, but his mere human strength was nothing compared to the spirits and demons. Everyone he cared about was slaughtered right in front of his eyes as he laid there bloodied and useless. However, a strange instance occurred in which a wandering spirit noticed the boy's unwavering desire to protect his family and took mercy on him. The spirit decided to merge with Titus to save his life, granting him the immense power required to enact revenge against the demons. His only surviving family member then discovered that it was possible for humans to harness the power of the spirits and created a process through which splicing was possible. Together they made their organization 'Chimera' and set out to find exceptional people to join their fight against the demons.
Spirit

Name: Manticore
Ambition: To kill all demons
Ability: Can fuse with any part of Titus and grant him the abilities of the manticore.
Past: A boy of only age 9 was the victim of a group of demons that cackled in glee as they brutally tortured he and his family for the entire month of The Haunting. When the family had finally lost the ability to even scream out in agony, the demon's lost interest and decided to kill off their little toys. When the demons told the boy they'd spare his life if he joined their ranks he spat in their face and swore he would kill them all before swiftly being decapitated. His spirit manifested out of the desire to create a form even more monstrous than the demons and to brutally murder them the way they killed his family.
