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
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
Rank: S
Capacity: 49.9%
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.

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.

Rank: D
Capacity: 5%
Name: Cardinal
Ambition: To free everyone of their hardships through laughter
Ability: Gives Zeke bright red wings and enhanced eyesight
Past: A child who died during the holocaust. His parents always told him that the best way to free himself from the hardships of the world was through laughter. He died while embracing his loved ones in a gas chamber, laughing while they cried and died together. His last thoughts were of the birds he envied so much that were free to fly away to a better place.

Rank: D
Capacity: 7%
Name: The Fisherman
Ambition: To never let go of his loved ones
Ability: Give's Zeke a lobster arm with immense crushing strength on one arm, the ability to turn his legs into tentacles, and allows him to produce fishing hooks and line.
Past: A fisherman in Maine who lived a simple life with his wife. They never had any kids and didn't have much wealth, but they were happy. When his wife fell terminally ill, they were unable to pay for her treatments due to the fisherman's low income and he blamed himself for her untimely death. The idea of living without her drove him mad and he took his own life not long after she passed.

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.
Rank: D
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.

Rank: C
Capacity: 15%
Name: See-It
Ambition: To never lose anything again
Ability: If Missy sees something once, she has the ability to be able to track it even once it is out of eyesight. By closing her eyes, she can both see the object or person and be able to track it's location. Only works on one target at a time.
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.

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.

Can I have my character start as a Chimera member or is that reserved for you and kyuukestu for now?
I would recommend not having your character start in Chimera. The only reason mine and Kyuu’s are is to provide support for everyone else, and they’re gonna take on more of a minor role. Titus mainly serves as a catalyst to get your characters involved in the story and he’ll only become more prevalent once all the OCs have reached around his strength level and they begin taking on much more difficult missions.

So for now I’d say be a beginner and have some fun obtaining quirky powers with everyone xD
 
God knows I can't turn down a well-made RP. I'll definitely have a bio up soon. I have two questions:
How are we feeling about having more than one character? If you'd prefer I only have one, I can absolutely keep it at that- if you don't mind, however, I would like to request two characters.
Also, can you splice more than one spirit so long as it adds up to less that 49%? For example, have a D rank and an A rank splice like the ability to summon a skeleton warrior and also posses a fully skeletal arm, or something along those lines?

Edit: Sorry, one more question. Do we make spirit sheets now, or make them late once our characters actually splice?

Awww you’ll make me blush.

The more the merrier!!! I’m not gonna be one to turn down more help against a demon lord xD.

Also, can you splice more than one ability ao long as it adds up to less that 49%? For example, have a D rank and an A rank splice like the ability to summon a skeleton warrior and also posses a fully skeletal arm, or something along those lines?
Definitely! That’s actually why I settled on the name “Chimera” for the organization. People will become hybrids gaining the abilities of multiple different spirits. Throughout the rp after an enemy is defeated you all will have the opportunity to decide if you want your character to splice with them (though each spirit can only splice with one character). Also, don’t worry about wasting your capacity for splicing on the early spirits. If a spirit comes up that you like better later you can undo a previous splice to make room for it.
 
Sorry, one more question. Do we make spirit sheets now, or make them late once our characters actually splice?
I just saw your edit! Spirit Sheets are actually there just so you know what to expect. As I said before, I’d highly recommend coming in without any spirits to fully enjoy this rp as you collect spirits as you go (Titus was a necessary exception but he won’t really be a main character until later). If you have a spirit concept you would eventually like your character to gain feel free to throw up a spirit bio and we’ll make sure to find a way to work it into the story!

Edit: though I suppose if you’re making two characters you could have one that’s already spliced and joined Chimera and the other following the planned route, that way you’ll be able to fully enjoy both aspects!
 
Ahhhhh, I have so many questions- I'm so sorry. Is there an age range that will be good for our characters? Are we talking teenagers, young adults, or just about anyone?
No worries, questions are great! Characters can be any range! Just people with exceptionally strong wills. There will be more mature themes and the story could take darker turns, so take that as you will, but I certainly won’t stop you from throwing a child onto the team. I kinda imagined it’d be a pretty diverse cast, after all, it’s not like they’re in a situation that they can afford to be picky xD
 
Yeesh, this took me a hot minute lmao. Please let me know if there's anything I should fix!

Name: Liam Choi

Age: 24

Gender
: Male

Ambition
: To avenge his younger brother, who was brutally murdered by a wild, savage demon who tore him to pieces.

Personality: Liam is a generally serious person, strict and wholly focused on the task or matter at hand. Having been left a mere shell of the person he used to be before his brother's tragic death, his previous, friendly demeanor is a rare occurrence, but the loss replaced his easygoing attitude with a deep resolve and commitment to his goal. In his seriousness and strict tenacity, Liam is very loyal to his friends and allies, often willing to push himself to his limits and put his life on the line for them without question.

download20210202214137.png

Stats:
Height - 5'10
Weight - 167 lbs.
Physique - Toned build

Liam lived with his younger brother in a small, standard apartment room; it wasn't exactly a luxurious life, but the two were comfortable. They did well in their classes, they made a lot of friends--life was generally pretty nice.

However, when Natas unleashed the full wrath of spirits and demons onto the planet, Liam found himself losing all control, feeling like it was all he could do to even stand as everything around him burned down. In what felt like a blur that day, his little brother Allen was snatched by a monstrous demon with sharp, jagged antlers akin to that of a moose, void-like, black eyes, long, sharp fangs, and a muscular, human body with deep crimson skin. Liam had tried to lash out and wrest his brother from the demon's grasp, but two others had grabbed him as well, holding him tight so that all he could do was watch.

Allen was killed, butchered, and devoured in front of Liam's eyes, the image burned into his mind; as he struggled and kicked against the demons' grip, as the demon left with a hearty cackle, and as he frantically searched for any scrap of Allen that hadn't been consumed, Liam's emotions burst forth in a guttural scream of grief and rage, accompanied by a flood of tears, and he made a vow to himself and Allen that he would one day avenge his brother's death. Since the event, Liam now lives on the streets, barely scraping by with money from any job he can find and finding short-term lodging at his multiple workplaces, but his resolve to keep his promise is the only thing keeping him strong.

Damn.... I failed to consider how sad everyone’s bios would be considering the world we made. Sniffles. Justice for Allen! ermmm... I mean... Accepted!

So if i have a kid as a character-
It'd be fine...
I mean yeah, but they’ll also have all the disadvantages of, well, being a kid xD
 
before I give my form, I'd like to point I did calculations and, by the start of this rp, there would be approximately 2730000000 left on the planet. Oof.

Height - 6'1
Weight - 202 lbs
Build - Well built, but not toned or muscled.
Personality: While easily shocked by things, Malic is by no means dumb. He is clever, and willing to pull out all the stops for what he believes in. He also truly believes that humanity can only be remembered once dead unless they do wrong in life, and truly wishes to change that. Since Natas opened the gates of the dead, Malic has not been the same. Learning has always been an aspiration of his, despite how he has changed.
After being made an orphan from a car crash when he was but a toddler at pre-school, Malic lived in an orphanage for a long time. While he did not hate it, he was terrified of staying there his whole life, as, since no one ever wanted to adopt him, it was assumed he would grow up and make a foster home or something.

When the haunting came, he was 19, and was even more terrified as soon as whatever was killing everyone attacked the Orphanage. Instead of staying to protect, he trusted his gut, and ran away. He knew others would've escaped, anyway. Though, he soon heard screams from where he used to call home, and began to fear the worst.
By the end of the Haunting, he had been hiding in many places, including the homes of those killed during the Haunting, even doing his best to bury those bodies in a respectful manner despite not knowing what he was doing.

But with the opening of the Gates of the dead, Malic became...different, as he did his best to help people no matter the danger he was in, a version of him too good to be true, yet it was true...seeing the dead he had buried come back, it had taught him, and he wasn't gonna pass anything up now.

Name: Kazim Khouri

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Ambition: Extermination of the damned and banishment of Natas

Appearance: Kazim is scrawny with a sharp jaw, tan Arabian skin, and fluffy black hair swept over his brow (which side varies). 5'10". He wears a white t-shirt (with stains from past troubles), cargo pants, and red vans.

Personality: He's friendly and easygoing as a cover for his anger, fear, and sadness surrounding the fusion of the two realms. He doesn't dwell in bad things, he likes to retain positivity to help others.

Backstory: Kazim was always a popular kid in school, got good grades, was the star of the football team, and had loving parents. The worst thing that had happened only happened two weeks before The Haunting; his best friend since the eighth grade had overdosed on cocaine. On the day of The Haunting, he watched his father leave for work for the last time before the darkness. His apartment building halfway crumbled, and he was left in darkness. Huddling with his mother by candlelight, it wasn't long until they heard the door being smashed in. They started to get up and run further into the apartment when Kazim heard a squelching sound nearby. He was quick to know he wouldn't be able to save her. He continued, but quickly felt a pair of inhuman hands on him. He retaliated with a judo throw he'd learned from a self defense class, giving him time to scramble into a small tunnel of debris, which he blocked off using a large chunk of stone. He was hungry, but not as much as others as he ate spiders that he would feel crawl across his skin. When he learned that light was coming from the outside, he left his cave, finding the world much worse than he'd left it.

I already gots 3 spirits I wanna try to use later on.

So you said he’s part of chimera already... I’m gonna need to know these spirits he was imbued with already before I accept. It’s much harder to be accepted if you wanna be an existing member of Chimera.

before I give my form, I'd like to point I did calculations and, by the start of this rp, there would be approximately 2730000000 left on the planet. Oof.

Looks good! I’m hoping you’ll lean into the scholarly part of his ambition so we get a bit more variation amongst everyone. Accepted!

Also oof, I hadn’t done the math. I was just picking numbers that sounded good xD

I like it, another interesting ambition! Accepted!

Hopefully we’ll get a few female characters....
 
I wasn't gonna do a kid before, but now I'm all excited and since you mentioned it I couldn't help myself XD. I just want to make every type of character :( I think I have a problem.

Name:
Elijah Wellen
Age: 13
Gender: Male
Ambition: To never have to run away
Appearance: Elijah is, even for a young boy, not particularly large- never has been. He stands at 5'5 exactly and has been on the fast track of weight loss ever since the haunting, making him seem even younger and more helpless. Eli's dark skin is a golden color, dull and dirty as opposed to the bright complexion associated with children. Wounds are scattered across Eli's small body, mostly little scratches and bruises besides the large set of parallel gashes down his back and the tip of his left ear being torn clean off. Elijah's face is round and doll-like, he sports a button nose and plump lips. His eyes are round, the large pupils are dark enough to be considered black and his bushy eyebrows are short. Eli's curly black hair is untamed and dirty, grown out far too much so it is wild, but somehow still seems presentable with the bottom layers cut shorter than the top. Eli wears a pair of jean shorts that are dirty, but otherwise in pretty well shape, while his shoes are old and filled with holes. Lastly, Elijah adorns an oversize black sweater that hangs off of his shoulders.
Personality: Eli is a fairly quiet kid- a good kid. He's not at all shy, but simply lacks the urge to speak that many people do posses. It's almost like the boy doesn't get ideas, and without ideas to contribute he's never felt the need to converse with others. Elijah had, for as long as he could remember, only ever been good at following orders- so he stuck to that. Being young, and without the opportunity to develop any passions or values, Elijah simply lacks a sense of self. Up until the day of Natas' rage, Eli had never experienced deep emotions. Outside of the fleeting happiness after a tasty bite of food or a feeling of disappointment after being scolded, Elijah was unfamiliar with real emotions. On the day that his 'family' was attacked, Eli felt something that racked his entire body. Though he can't put a name to the feeling, the boy was sure that he never wanted to experience anything like it ever again. Never again did he want to run away, because he'd come back to nothing. It was all he knew, and the only value he has lived by since the attack.
Backstory: Elijah never had a perfect life, even before the whole world was flipped upside down. He was an orphan as early as he could remember, but life on the streets wasn't terrible. The occasional foster home didn't satisfy Eli, so by the time he was 10, he took off and made sure he'd never get found- that's where he found the closest thing to family that he could. The gang of homeless urchins that Eli hung around varied from kids his age to grown adults, but they were all equal in one another's eyes. Eli spent 5 years as happy as he could be, there were hard times, but he wouldn't change it for the world. They really were a family.
When the haunting came, Elijah's family laughed. Those people had been at rock bottom, they seemed to fear nothing. Eli had always looked up to the hardened old men who seemed to no longer no pain, but that was their downfall. The same day that Natas appeared and the world flooded with evils, Eli watched his family- his whole life- be torn to shreds. Eli couldn't move, he was frozen with fear when the creature came. The others, however, were fast to protect what they had worked so hard to build. They really were the closest thing to family that family could be, and yet Eli hardly ever knew them. He only did what he was told- every single time. So when he was told to run, the boy didn't even think to look back. He ran and ran until his legs couldn't carry him any further. Eli didn't count the days, but when he returned all that was left was the splatters of blood that stained the floor.


Name:
Tiara Matthews
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Ambition: To understand the spirits
Appearance: Tiara's appearance has hardened over the last month, a once beautiful young woman has lost her gentle edge for a particular blood lust. The female is fairly tall, standing at just about 5'11, which is 6 ft when assisted by a nice pair of heels, and she weighs a good average of 150 pounds. Tiara's skin is fair, with a pink flushed undertone that rises in her cheeks anytime she expresses any sort of emotion. Tiara's pale complexion is offset with the occasional freckle, particular beauty marks being the one under her left eye and on her right collar bone. Her face is angular, with a sharp jawline and high cheekbones. Tiara's nose is long and thin, her lips stretched narrowly and forming dimples on either side. Long eye lashes shadow her small, almond shaped eyes and warm, honey-brown pupils. The woman's hair is long, dryness causing it to crack and split at the ends. The pigment of her locks are gradient, with the roots being a dark brown color that slowly grows into a dirty blonde shade. She wears a pair of leggings under a knee-length white dress and white sneakers.
Personality: Tiara is an active woman, she is enthusiastic and quick to take initiative. She is a sweet woman, raised in a humble environment. As a child, Tiara was taught to always be selfless and kind- morals that she lives by. Tiara was known well in her village for her way with children, she posses a deep motherly instinct, even towards those who are older than her. Tiara is inquisitive, though not necessarily intelligent. The woman is better at puzzle solving that memorizing, but a natural curiosity for the world around her has allowed Tiara to learn some valuable skills. She is level headed and patient, always thinking things through and finishing what she starts. Though perhaps even mature for her age, Tiara has been told that she is too innocent and naive for her own good. She wants the best for everyone, though that seems like something impossible to achieve. Even so, she hates seeing anyone or anything hurt- that is why, even though the spirits are hostile and deadly, she can't help but pity them.
Backstory: Tiara was born in a small rural town, she was smart and pretty- meeting the standard for the type of girl you send to college. At 20, Tiara moved away from her parent's farm in order to attend college and then pursue a career in modeling. The girl quickly found that modeling really wasn't for her, and found herself stuck 100's of miles away from home with no back-up plan. When the girl was 24, her last year of college, she got the news that her father passed away. Tiara was overcome with grief. She dropped out of school, and never ended up finishing it, and returned home to take care of her now sickly mother. It was several months later that Kiara's mother also died. The girl found herself utterly helpless and alone in the world, until the events of the haunting.
After the spirits began making appearances, Tiara found something odd about them. Perhaps it was the small, isolated town she lived in- but the creatures that Natas summoned seemed awfully familiar. Then, something magical happened- she saw her parents. They were together, just like her mother's dying wish had projected, hallow shadows of real people- but they were there. Tiara couldn't help herself, she was entranced by the sight of her family, and a shaky step forward proved that they didn't intend to attack her. Maybe they were good, maybe not all spirits were bad. That night, another attack happened. The ghosts of Kiara's parents possessed and elderly couple and began savagely but pointedly attacking different people in the town. Kiara figured it out almost right away, they were attacking anyone who made their life less than perfect, anyone who wronged them. But the girl couldn't speak up, deep down her gut twisted at the thought of her parents having such a cruel desire. Instead, she ran away. She turned her back, once again, on the small village life and prepared to venture out and find out as much as she could about the spirits- maybe there was a way to help them, too.

God, I sped through this- hopefully there isn't too many errors.

Character Sheet
Name: Isla Frisealach
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Ambition: To safeguard her 'family'
Appearance: Isla had the looks of a girl who, before the apocalypse, would've been confined to an asylum or prison, pending judgment on charges of serial murder or some other equally outlandish crime that would have seemed impossible for a woman of her stature but seemed probable once one noticed the jagged-toothed butcher's knife she toted around. She hadn't always looked so manic but weeks of weathering the apocalypse left her haggard: thick brambles of ginger hair, dirt-smudged olive skin, sunken red eyes, and tattered clothing that preserved her modesty, but not much else.

Personality: Isla is fiercely independent and skeptical of people who seem a little too kind for the circumstance. She doesn't like being given handouts, and even before the apocalypse, she was a frank girl that would give anyone a piece of her mind with delightfully colorful vocabulary.

Backstory: Before the apocalypse, Isla had been pursuing a degree in business management with a minor in information studies. She lived in a small two-bedroom apartment whose bill she split between herself and three other roommates. It wasn't much but Isla couldn't afford to spend recklessly. Her parents, who lived abroad, gave her only so much money each semester and between her other living expenses and school expenses, she simply couldn't afford to be spending hundreds of dollars every month on rent. Nowadays, rent was the least of her concerns. Her landlords were dead and even if they weren't, the Haunting had seen her apartment reduced to a pile of charred rubble. A local church had offed food and residence to refugees who'd lost their homes but in the month of darkness that followed, what had once been a sizeable group of people had dwindled down to just Isla and a handful of kids who were either too young or too afraid to abandon—or as some would say test their luck—the camp and make ends meet in their new post-apocalyptic world.

Regardless, Isla wasn't heartless enough to follow suit and leave the kids to, what would inevitably be a slow, painful death by starvation; thus, she's taken it upon herself to care for them. With a handful of mouths to feed and everyone was starving, Isla took to scavenging nearby supermarkets and abandoned homes. It wasn't much but it was honest work. She soon learned, after nearly being killed by a group of 'kind' strangers who offered to forage with her, that honesty wouldn't cut it.

It was brought to my attention that Chimera probably needs to be a bit more fleshed out so here are other existing 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.

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.

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.

Capacity: 21%

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.
I also added them to the first post in the Chimera section and will continue to update that
 
Character Sheet:

Name: Amiina Varna

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Ambition: To understand what's going on, and to protect what she has left.

Appearance:
94097_3ppTPvmb.png

Personality: Amiina is the shy type, and people rarely hear her talk. Her background caused this, and also causes her to have trust issues. Despite all this, she talks around friends. A side people don't know is that she is quite smart. Shes been know to love challenges also. Alongside this, she also has a side that cares for people.

Backstory:
Before this whole entire nightmare went down, Amiina was never the person type. She lived in a family of 5, two younger brothers and herself. Growing up, she was cared for more than her brothers. This caused jealousy, and made her one brother play tricks. He would hurt her, and then lie his way out of trouble.

Despite this, she was close to her other brother. His name was Ahitaka Varna, and he wasn't like her other brother. He was always kind to her. She grew closer, and eventually wanted to protect him.

When school came around, she was never liked by people. They wouldnt do anything towards her, just not pay any attention. Slowly, she got used to it, and focused more on her studies. Because of this, she is now smarter in subjects. She gained two friends over the years, which became close.

Despite the support of her friends, she stayed the quiet type. She never spoke in class, and would avoid questions. Only her friends saw her talkative side.

Once the whole nightmare started, she watched as she lost everything she knew. Demon's killed her family, but only her and her brother escaped. They took refuge, and survived until the light appeared once again. Now, her and her brother do anything to survive. At the same time, she wants to avenge the people who died.

Now, her brother:

Character Sheet:

Name: Ahitaka Varna

Age: 13

Gender: Male

Ambition: To avenge his family, and to see the end of this nightmare.

Appearance:
94097_c7ObAQEA.png

Personality: Ahitaka is the very kind and outgoing type. He always puts himself before others. He would prefer things to be peaceful, and avoids fights. Sometimes he is a little hesitant, but only because he thinks things through. Unlike Amiina, hes never been too good in being smart.

Backstory:
Before the nightmare, everything was normal to Ahitaka. He got along well with others, passed his classes, and never had issues. He got along especially well with Amiina, after watching what she goes through. Although, he's never done much to help her, other than support.

The nightmare changed the whole world he has known. He watched his family get killed, and had to run to survive. This whole thing scared him, but he knew he had to at least protect his sister. In his mind, this world needs to be saved.

Sorry for the long wait, had to think. I lost energy on Ahitaka, but hopefully he's good enough.

Looks good! Accepted
 
Name: Missy Oteugra
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Position: Surveillance/ Scout
Ambition: To help others grow strong enough to avoid being possessed
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 too!." Ever since that fateful day, Missy had been a loyal member of the Chimera organization.
Rank: D

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.

Rank: C

Name: See-It

Ability: If Missy sees something once, she has the ability to be able to track it even once it is out of eyesight. By closing her eyes, she can both see the object or person and be able to track it's location. Only works on one target at a time.
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.

Name: Lysia-Ann
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Ambition: ???
Appearance: A petite figure, at only 4"9, with black hair almost as long as she is tall, narrow-rimmed glasses, and pale brown skin. Her soft features were both a blessing and a curse. The sculpting arm of time had yet to smooth away her childish features, and while that gave her naturally cute looks, it was in the form of appearing 5 years younger than she actually was. Lysia was thus the definition of 'puerile'. This was not helped by her preference for loose clothing as she often wore sweaters, four sizes too large, with the occasional pair of either jeans or a pleated skirt.

Personality: As book-wormish as her appearance would suggest, Lysia personality isn't far from it. She's a rare occasion of a book that can be judged by its cover. She's straight-laced and studious. Her small figure and passive approach can cause her to seem timid, but when provoked, she can show uncharacteristic ferocity.

Backstory: -Pending-

The Skeletal bios of Titus' sister, the rest is still in the works, but we do want to get this RP started!

Looks good!

Alright @kyuukestu @OmnipotentOnion @| Korutesu | @Barefoot_Kittens @Fraseandchico @Psymallard @Amiina

It’s about time to get this rp started!
pause for cheers and applause
I’m thinking I’ll begin it with Titus announcing to the Chimeras that their newest initiative is to find similarly strong minded people to recruit. After that, each of you can include a post just describing your characters life in this apocalyptic world. Then I’ll introduce some spirits for you to attempt to deal with before you’re ultimately recruited to join in the resistant, yay!

If you have any preference about which chimera member your character encounters first or which spirit they splice with as their starter let me know. I’ll be posting spirit sheets soon so you can start thinking about which one you’d like
 
Alright everyone, here's your starting spirit options (for now)! First come first served.

His world fell apart one day when he returned to his beach house early from a work trip and walked into his room to be greeted by the sight of his wife squirming in pleasure as she gripped the luscious hair of the neighbor's high school aged son.

Ability: Gives the Chimera user both gecko-quality, magnified eye sight and sticky pads on all of the wielder's finger and toe tips which enable the user to stick to and climb virtually any service
Past: In his life, this spirit was nothing more than a crook. The scum of the earth. He stole from the elderly, and bullied small children. Little things he couldn't get in trouble for. The only thing he could get in trouble for was the way he treated women, especially teenage girls. The man had a fancy for pretty girls, girls who would never love him back. He was frequently caught hiding in girls restrooms or climbing up the side of a building to peek in through a girl's window. However, this soon didn't satisfy his hunger. The man kidnapped a girl, and was caught after raping and murdering him. He was punished with the death penalty.

Rank: D
Capacity: 7%
Ambition: To protect them self from injury
Ability: The spliced limb of the wielder turns into a large, riot-type shield that covers the user's entire body.
Past: As a child, the spirit was abused. It wasn't an often occurrence, certainly not enough for him to develop a tolerance for pain. So each time he was hit and kicked or slashed and burned, it hurt just as much as the first time. He had no way to get away, attempts to dodge the attacks were useless- with no defense the boy couldn't do anything besides take the abuse. He grew up otherwise normal, you wouldn't assume he was so afraid of life besides the way he flinched at the slightest raise of the hand. But the truth was, the man was terrified. He was terrified that at any moment he could be attacked with an excruciating amount of pain that he couldn't avoid. Eventually, the paranoia got to him and he took his own life.

Name: Swing
Ambition: To be able to play all day
Ability: The chimera user sprouts a monkey tail which is prehensile and strong enough to fully support their own weight
Past: A mere child, the boundless energy of this spirit would end up being their cause of death. Growing up, he wasn't one for sitting still or paying attention. He simply loved to play. He would sneak away from class to get on the play ground, and stay out until well-past dark to run around the streets. He didn't care what his parents said, and he didn't care if nobody played with him- it was the thing that made him happiest of all. That's why, despite his parent's please and best attempts to trap him- the boy still went out on that winter night after rumors of a child-killer haunted the town. He went out that night and never returned.

Name: Cactaceae
Ambition: To not let anything touch it
Ability: The spliced limb is replaced by a large saguaro cactus with all cactus qualities including its light weight and painful exterior
Past: Up until the haunting, she was a perfectly normal person. She had an average life, a comfortable family, and a mediocre job. But all of that was ripped away from her during the haunting, and it was her own fault. She became so paranoid about every little thing that she wouldn't even allow the slightest bit of human contact, and preferred to isolate in a room entirely by herself most of the day. She so severely feared that she or those around her would turn into monsters that she ended up killing herself after locking herself in a closet and starving there for weeks.

Past: During the early times of European imperialism, most young boys dreamed of being a king. It was no different for this spirit, granted he never really grew out of the desire. He became a peasant baker who lived off of every dime, but in his head he imagine hordes of people bowing down to him. He wanted, more than anything, to ditch his mundane life and become a king. A real king, that everyone admires and respects. Of course, it was nothing more than a dream. He lived in poverty and died in poverty, and his name was forgotten just as everyone else's.

Ambition: To have somewhere completely safe
Ability: Gives the spliced user a turtle-like shell that covers the entire torso. By bending at the knees and elbows, the user's entire body can be protected besides their head
Past: The spirit never really had anywhere to go. They grew up an orphan, hopping from foster family to foster family but never staying very. Long there wasn't anything wrong with the guy, but he was ugly. And ugly people didn't tend to do very well in the world he grew up in. Even as an adult, he remained poor and homeless his entire life. And hint of 'friendship' disappeared as soon as it began. And when he did get in trouble, he had nowhere to go. Sure, he had a hideout or two, but that didn't ensure safety. Not the type of safety that he longed for. He died to illness during the winter, alone and under a bridge covered in snow.

Name: Harold (Harry) Carder
Age: 39
Gender: Male
Position: Botanist
Ambition: To keep his 'babies' alive
Appearance: Harry possesses a scraggly figure, standing at 6'5 and probably weighing half as much as he should. His limbs are long and thread like, even each finger seems a bit too puppet-like to be real. His fair skin has yellow undertones that may be golden if he went into the sun more often. Harry's body is riddled with little, almost unnoticeable scars from his past, and he also adorns a new scar since the haunting, a jagged line that reaches from about the middle of his hair line and stretches down past the corner of his left eye and to the bottom of his ear. His face is square shaped and odd, full of signs of his age finally catching up with him. High cheekbones and a wide nose contrast and even out his features while his thin lips are surrounded by the shadow of gray stubble that runs along his jaw and under his nose. Wrinkles line his eyes and mouth. Harry's eyes are thin, oval shaped and his small pupils are olive green in color and his thin eyebrows are arched and chocolate brown in color. The man's hair is overgrown and messy, loose curls of rich brown are naturally pushed back so there is no part in his hair and they bounce around just below his shoulders. The roots of his hair are graying, with the occasional white streak mixed into the chocolate body as well. He wears a pair of baggy cargo pants that are well-used, with every pocket sporting a different tool, and a plain black long-sleeved shirt. When working, Harry layers his gardening apron over his clothes and wears a thick gardening glove on his right hand.
Personality: Harry is a peculiar man, while amiable and kind enough- he tends to make people uncomfortable. Harry is a forced optimist, his lips almost always peeled back into a smile that clearly aren't expressing his true emotions, and when he speaks it's positive and bright while his tone is deep and serious. He gets along with everyone, even people who he doesn't like, but a lack of filter makes it clear when he doesn't like someone. He'll walk right up to somebody, insult them and then smile and invite them to lunch. Other than a bit of a staring problem, if you couldn't hear him you would assume Harry was a refined, leader figure. He has excellent composure, rarely letting his expression show what he is thinking. He holds his head high and never cowers, and is actually impressively strong willed. If not for his obsession with plants, he'd make for a very strong soldier. However, his obsession exists and it is obvious. Harry spends more time with his garden than he does with people, and he brings the topic of his 'babies' into almost every conversation. He is extremely protective of the plants he raises, only ever raising his voice when it comes to defending his plants. That said, messing with his plants can lead to a rather dangerous situation.
Backstory:

Rank: C
Capacity: 27%
Name: Parasite
Ambition: To be young forever
Ability: Gives the user the ability to 'transfer' nutrients from one organism to another, he can essentially drain or give life between any living thing, but it is a slow process that is rather ineffective on animate objects
Past: This spirit was a beautiful young woman, at the age of 30 she was begging to show signs of aging. She was attractive enough to get by on her looks alone, but at the slightest hint of a wrinkle she became paranoid. She feared that she would no longer have any means of survival if she lost her beauty, and aging was ugly. Eventually she decided that she would do anything to prevent aging. It was her first time trying a new type of medicine said to keep her looking young, but something went wrong in the serum and that night she passed away in her sleep.

Rank:
D
Capacity: 7%
Name: Shears
Ambition: To have an ideal suburban life for his family
Ability: The spliced limb (Harold's left arm) turns into a pair of massive pruning shears, big enough to cut through the trunk of a small tree
Past: This spirit was a kind man, a family man with a small house in the suburbs. He never had any problems, he was a neighborly fellow who enjoyed to socialize... until the house next to his was built. What once was an open field where his kids played was replaced with an obnoxiously large house and equally obnoxious inhabitants. They were loud and rude, ruining the peace of the friendly neighborhood. When the man went to knock on their door to make a compromise, they shooed him away and then moved a line of large shrubs to block their view of the man's house. At his edge, the man succumbed to spite and took a pair of shears to cut away at the newly planted barrier, but when he snuck out in the night to begin pruning he was caught in the act. Rather than calling the police or scolding him, the man's neighbor's aimed their shotgun and hit him right in the head- a deliberate shot, no doubt. He bled out on his own lawn, only able to think of the fact that his children would have to see his body in the morning.

New Chimera just dropped (I'm working on the background).

Before I pick the one I'm thinking of, I have a question. I was thinking of the gecko, but would it's ambition and past-life affect my character? Im not quite sure how that works, or I missed it...

It would have some influence on your character's personality though it would be pretty minor since it is only a D rank
