Children of the Apocalyptic Horsemen (Open)

I LOVE the elemental idea too. There's Four Horsemen so it would be cool to give them elemental powers like there are four elements. @Shuichi Zyepsyr/Pestilence gives me an air vibe, considering how many diseases are airborne What do you guys think? Another FYI, John's physical age is 27, but he stopped aging at 21. I will update now. |

Ooh, I'd love to learn more about John.~ And the flowers wilting around him, for some reason, I find adorable. If you don't want to name your horse you don't have to, I just tend to name everything. I didn't even consider elements when her power because fire, but your definitely onto something! I think it would be a cool idea to implement. Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare gave me my inspiration for War being associated with fire, but we could easily make it our own. Now hopefully we can get a Famine soon as we'll be good to go! |

I could totally draw him but I'm too lazy right now. Once this takes off I'll probably give it a go. Oh man, and here I was worrying I wrote way too much. I always go nuts on character creation of any kind lol. I ended up naming the Horse Pathos If we're going with elemental type stuff, I'm playing around with the idea of giving John power over ice. Cold, snow, frost. People theorize whether the world will end in fire or ice. The popular image of Hell is as a fiery pit, but in Dante's "Inferno" the deepest layer of Hell - the 9th Circle reserved for traitors - is a lake of ice where sinners are trapped forever. And in space the further you get from a source of light - like the sun - the colder it gets. Or how bodies go cold and stiff when they die, how nothing grows in winter, how things can be preserved for thousands if not millions of years if sufficiently frozen. It would also be an interesting juxtaposition to Charani's fire of war. Hot-headed vs cool-headed. Yet death is the end of all things, and the consequence of war, the silence that follows. Death is the one to deal with the fallout and tie up loose ends. Famine is also a really interesting one, since it doesn't have to just be related to food. It reminds me of the quote "To poverty many things are lacking. To avarice everything is lacking." Famine is starvation that cannot be satisfied, and you can be desperately starving for something even if you're rich. It also reminds me of Supernatural, if you've seen it, Just throwin' some ideas out there |

I freakin' love him. His whole vibe and quirks are right up my alley lol. You are very right, and put it all eloquently, which seems to be a theme with your writing. :) Ice would fit him very well and seeing him contrast with Charani's fire will be a fun 'battle' to watch. I have seen Supernatural, and that would be a cool concept to explore. I got to thinking, would you guys prefer or prefer not to have our characters powers affect one another? Such as Charani evoking either of your characters to violence even if she doesn't mean to. I'm feeling against, since it would make things complicated, but if you guys would prefer it, I can make it work. Sorry about my kinda short reply here, I've been trying to type between things at work. |

Also thank you for your compliments about John! I love Charani too, she's really unique and lowkey reminds me of Ishtar/Inana, an ancient Mesopotamian goddess of war, love & fertility. And her angry form is beautifully terrifying. She is so pretty aaa I personally think that the Four Horsemen should be immune to each other's powers, or at least be very weak (for example Pestilence could infect one of the other Horsemen with the common flu for a week, but that's about it?). There can be personality clashes that have ripple effects on the environment or something, but I don't think it really makes sense for them to be a danger to each other. They were made to work together, even if they have their differences. However, there might be a way the demons could get them all to turn against each other? It could be a plot device further down the line, but not normally a thing to worry about, I think |

.: Sign-up Form For Angel :. Angels seem all powerful, so to make it a fair fight they definitely have weakness when it comes to demons. Hellfire can hurt, or even kill, them. Demon blades and angel blades are the same. Regular weapons won't really hurt them, but drop a truck on them, or throw them into a frozen lake, and it will slow them down (and piss them off). Most angels follow their leaders command without thought, which can be exploited. The human world confounds Seraph (warrior angels). And the Horsemens powers, to a degree, can affect them. It will take a lot, and they will need some training to harness their powers, but in the end the Horsemen can injure/kill and angel. Both images were created through AI by me. |

I can't tell you enough how much I love this Also, I finally found an AI generator that actually kind of listened to me. Here's a pic of John "smoking" and "looking serious" (although he looks depressed as hell, and I can't blame him) The most accurate depiction I had in mind with John's face being more angled/boney looking, standing outside in winter. Ngl, I like how weird his eyes look, and how he looks like he's never smiled in his life :) |

John looks amazing! He looks like the perfect Death.~ Also, those cheekbones. Since it doesn't seem like we're gonna find a Famine anytime soon, do we want to go ahead and start? We can have it to where Famine has yet to be found by our characters, and the angels/demons are looking for them in the background. At least until someone might want to join? |

I think it's a good idea to start, there's probably other people looking at this but they're not sure if they want to join yet, our RP might give them more ideas, and your idea of revealing Famine later makes a lot of sense. I don't mind either way. P.S. This is my first RP of this kind! Wish me luck |
