Background:
[TW: violence, death, self-harm, suicide ]
Hailing from the beautiful city of Paris in France, Celestine Bae had been the pride and joy of her familyâ for the first few years, at least. Being the eldest child of a wealthy family of successful doctors, her future as a surgeon was already decided the moment she was born. Growing up, Celestine was expected to be every inch of a lady her familyâs title expects her to be; with years of constant training, her back had remained pin straight with her toes pointed in such a dignified manner, one would not be able to criticise the young girl. Her beauty was a trait that only glorified her ladylike ambience.
People would say that Celestine was a girly girl on the outside, but she wasnât exactly the type to be afraid of sweat and exercise. Learning ballet since she was four, she had shown great potential in dancing; earning her numerous awards and trophies as she started to compete in inter-school tournaments. Throughout the years, Celestine learned different styles of dance on her own, and realised that she exceled at hip-hop and contemporary dance. The young girl had grown to adore heading to the studio and dancing her heart out, since the activity never failed to help her de-stress after a long day of tests and assignments.
Ambitious being her first nature, Celestine was a true young woman worthy of both the Bae and Belshaw name. Even though she wasnât a naturally bright student, she was competitive in all aspects of life, most specifically during classesâ a quality that earned her high grades and encouraged her to work harder than most. However, being competitive also meant that the girl absolutely despised losing, especially to the ones closest to her. She envied those who were better than her in different aspects; she envied her sister who had gained endless praises and support from their parents, something that had been lacking in her life.
Celestine tried to be the âperfect daughterâ and make her family proud, but she always seemed to be overshadowed by her younger sister, Selena. Thereâs no doubt that Selena was the ace at literally everything: she excelled in academics and always ended up as the top in class. Moreover, she was also a piano prodigy, something that their parents were proud of. Celestine also did well in her studies, but compared to Selena, her looks and dancing were the only aspects she was better at.
Unfortunately, her family never learned to appreciate Celestineâs talent â theyâd said that dancing was âa complete waste of timeâ, and that the young girl should âfocus on her studies so she can be as good as her sisterâ. Her parents always had their eyes on Selena and hardly ever acknowledged Celestineâs achievements. This would evidently be the cause of the downfall of Celestine's cheerful personality, which would lead to the biggest mistake sheâd ever made.
It was at the age of 20 when her life turned upside-down. In her third year of university, Celestine was struggling with finding her way. On top of the common junior burn out and figuring out what it actually meant to be an adult, she also had to deal with her familyâs constant comparisons between her sister and herself. Selena managed to get into the most prestigious medical school in France, while Celestine was claimed to be âa disgrace to the familyâ by choosing the path of performing arts. She had never hated her family more.
In Celestineâs eyes, her sister was always the one at fault. In Celestineâs eyes, Selena was the one and only person who snatched her parentsâ attention and support away from her. One night, an utterly cold deep thought took possession of her and urged Celestine to do something, anything that could gain her parentsâ love back. The thought was there hanging on to her mind. The thought of strangling her little sister, who was asleep in the bunk below her. The sister whom she loved more than anybody in the world, whom she loathed so much at that moment.
Celestine couldâve done something else to prevent the tragedy coming up. The thing to do was to get up, to get herself out of that room and out of the house, to never cast a single look at her sister where she slept. But she didnât. The more she chased the thought away, the more it came back. Years of pent-up jealousy and bitterness took over her, and moments later, she found herself straddling her sister before applying pressure onto her throat, blocking the air from going into her lungs. The younger girl tried so hard to throw her off, but to no avail.
âWhy... why are you... doing this... to me?â Those were Selenaâs last words before her body went limp. Shaking, Celestine dragged her sisterâs body to the seaside and made sure the coast was clear before dumping it into the water. It was not until the moment she laid back down onto her bed when realisation hit her hard. She finally registered the sin she had just committed. For the first time in ten years, Celestine cried herself to sleep that night.
After her sisterâs death, everyone could tell that Celestine wasnât herself anymore. Her body became a mere empty shell, the sin she had committed created a vast hole in her soul. All she felt was guilt and regret, and pain. Deep, deep pain. She felt like drowning everyday, and she hated it. Trying to find a way out of this suffocating feeling, she started doing something that had never crossed her mind. Picking up a cutter, she sliced it across her forearm, again and again. Tears streamed down her face as red stained the table, but the physical pain wasnât enough to mask the emotional devastation inside her. She tried again the next day, and the day after. But it was never enough. Was this her punishment?
Yet Celestine was a tough girl. For four whole years, she had tried to stay strong and get herself together, swallowing down the depression and trying her hardest to have a smile etched on her face 24/7. But she still felt like no one was actually there for her. Not really. There were occasional reminders and kind words from her family and friends, but she knew that none of them truly understood her, since nobody was aware of the crime she had committed. The guilt had been eating her up on the inside for the past four years. Nightmares about the strong waves of the ocean and strangling random people haunted her every night. She felt scared, ashamed, lonely, helpless. Then one day, she just couldnât handle it anymore. It was supposed to be her sisterâs 23rd birthday when she gave up trying.
Was she expecting to rest in peace after ending her own life? Definitely not. She knew that she had committed the worst sins mankind could ever do. Itâs well-known that suicide is unforgivable, and homicide is even worse. And Celestine had committed both. So she expected herself to be stuck in Hell as a demon forever till the end of time.
She had never thought that she would be granted a second chance in lifeâ well, something closest to a second chance, at least. When The Collector offered a deal with her, she immediately agreed without any hesitation. How often does a demon get to be offered such a nice deal? In Limbo, she can do the things she couldnât when she was alive. All she had to do is to make sure that no souls will escape from the city. How difficult is that?
Celestine is currently working as a full-time dance instructor at Limelight Dance Studio & Theater. Ultimately, she wishes for the happiness of everyone in the city, only using her power of Dream Inducement to help those in need of advices and warnings. She believes that her life is not her own but her sisterâs that she must redeem.

Faceclaim: Lee Jooyoung (actress)
Full Name: Evelyn Kim
Nickname(s): Eve
Age: 23
Date of birth: April 10th, 1996
Age at death: 23
Date of death: October 31st, 2019
Cause of death: Hit by a car.
Ability: Athletically Gifted
Family: Little brother, mom and dad
Sin: Envy
Residence: Invidia Room 302
Occupation: Limelight Dance Studio & Theatre Dancer
Worst nightmare: Being cheated on.
Personality:
Evelyn was always described as a laid back, chill to be around person. She got along with everyone and was someone youâd wanna pop open a beer with. She did have her flaws, though. She kept most of her feelings to herself, not opening up about how she felt which often dug at her. Evelyn tended to be a jealous person â jealous of others looks, relationships and friendships.
Background:
Evelyn Kim was a young American-Korean girl born at the start of 1996, to a happy family. Evelyn was a well behaved child who loved going outside to play, always taking interest in learning new things or meeting new people. Even as she grew up, she enjoyed these things. Her family was middle class and her parents were able to support her and her brother well, even sending Evelyn to a nice University out of state. While attending the University, Evelyn made many friends, having an outgoing and chill personality.
The friends Evelyn had made happened to be part of a dance club at the college and invited Evelyn to join. Evelyn wanted to get out of her dorm more, so she agreed to join. There, Evelyn learned how to dance and took great joy in it. Evelyn also loved to play video games on her PC in her dorm, making friends online as well and uploading videos to Youtube of her gaming where she gained a small but loyal following.
Everything in Evelynâs life seemed fine; she had friends, picked up a new talent, was successful in school and made extra money from Youtube. But deep down, there were some things that nagged at Evelyn. All her friends were in relationships as she had never been in one, they were all pretty or handsome, they all just felt⊠better than her. She loved them dearly, but the jealousy ate her away no matter how much she tried to forget it. She couldnât realize that she had what they had too, and it made her feel empty.
Regardless, Evelyn kept these thoughts to herself and continued to live her life and finish University.
On Halloween, Evelyn was invited to a college party to which she agreed to go. The girl got a simple costume, cat ears and a tail, and drew on little whiskers. She wasnât one to go all out for these sorts of things, just wanted to have fun at the party instead rather than focusing on a costume. Upon arriving, everyone had welcomed the girl and she had a good time with her friends. That was until there was an ache in her chest, an ache she knew all too wellâanxiety. Her jealousy watching the couples kiss and her friends laugh and chatter started to flare up, and she knew she had to get out of there soon. Evelyn got up suddenly, rushing out the door before anyone could stop her. As she was walking back to her dorm, a drunk student had struck her with their car while on the way out to grab more booze. Evelyn passed from her injuries, waking up in what almost looked like her own city, but darker. She was in Limbo, here to repent for her envious sin that ultimately led to her death.
PLEASE WELCOME Â [ MINAMI CHIHARU ], A [ 22 ] YEAR OLD SINNER OF [ SLOTH ]. SHE CURRENTLY LIVES IN [ RM 200 ] OF THE [ ACEDIA ] BUILDING AND IS THEÂ [ OWNER ] OF [ MATCHA MAID CAFE ].
( Please follow the admin twitter within 48 hours of acceptance. )
To put it simply, Sakura isnât the smartest person, but sheâs kind. Common sense slips her mind a bit more often than it would for most people, and she has little to no academic capabilities. Needless to say, she can come across as quite ditsy and clueless. The girl is energetic and hyper when her interest has been piqued, but pathetically lazy when faced with any responsibilities. She can spend days straight curled up in bed if it means she can avoid doing anything that she dislikes.
Sheâs fully aware that she isnât the most intelligent and that she can be slow to process information. She also knows that sheâs lazy, and still she does nothing to combat her laziness. Despite her disadvantages, sheâs stubborn and always wants to help in situations that she knows she can do nothing in. She tries to make up for it through her loyalty, genuine kindness, and the ease in which she befriends others. If she isnât surrounded by people at most times, she feels lonely.
The girl only has a few things that truly make her upset. She hates being called stupid, and she despises being pushed to the side because of it. She can be extremely sensitive at times, crying and becoming sad over the smallest things, however sheâs usually unbothered by most obstacles she faces.
Background:
Sakura was born as Minami Chiharu in Osaka, Japan. With how sick her mother was, it was a miracle that her child even made it out alive. Sakura was born healthy with the exception of a minor heart condition, one that was more inconvenient than dangerous anyway. Her mother died weeks after her birth due to a terminal illness, and Sakura was taken into the custody of her aunt after her passing. Her aunt was kind to her throughout the years that they lived together. For the most part Sakura was left alone, as her aunt paid more attention to her own children than her. The woman didnât want to bother her since she was already upset about the loss of her mother. Sakura found herself unintentionally taking advantage of this, since she didnât get scolded when her grades began to drop or when she spent too much time out at arcades playing video games.
As she grew older, Sakura soon realized that she wasnât the smartest person. Academics werenât her strength, and she had almost no common sense. Her poor grades could be partially blamed on her lack of studying, however she couldnât memorize the material even when she tried. Teachers and students would pick on her for it often. Luckily she always had people by her side to help cheer her up; it was easy for her to make friends since she was so outgoing and genuinely kind. Her long-term friends eventually took pity on her and together they made a pact to help her through junior high and high school, slipping her answers to tests and assisting her with her homework so she wouldnât fail. Though she didnât necessarily earn it herself, she managed to graduate with a somewhat decent GPA. With that being said, the girl knew that she would never be accepted into any colleges.
PLEASE WELCOME Â [ AN JEONGSU ], ANÂ [ 80 ] YEAR OLD ANGEL OF [ HUMILITY ]. HE CURRENTLY LIVES IN [ RM 802 ] OF THE [ SUPERBIA ] BUILDING AND IS ANÂ [ ATTENDANT ] AT [ SILK ROSE ].
( Please follow the admin twitter within 48 hours of acceptance. )
Faceclaim: Kim Jaejoong/JYJ/actor
Full Name: An Jeongsu
Nickname(s): JJ, Baby J
Age: 80
Date of birth: Jan 26, 1940
Age at death: 33
Date of death: December 20th, 1973
Cause of death: multiple stab wounds
Angel form: Beautiful long hair and long, glittering wings. His skin is perfectly pale, eyes a brisk blue, and he seems to sparkle and glow. The most lovely sight you can imagine.
Ability: Pleasure Inducement
Family: none living or in limbo that heâs aware of
Virtue: Humility
Residence: Superbia rm 802
Occupation: Attendant at the Silk Rose
Worst nightmare: anything without his consentÂ
Personality:
J is very sweet, and loves to meet new people. Heâs a little on the eccentric side, but itâs all harmless i.e sometimes heâll just sing and dance around for no reason. He loves to serve and make others happy.Â
Background:Â
Jeongsu was born to a servant family in a time of great political unrest. His parents shuffled around quite a bit as world war 2 began, working for various well to do Japanese families during the occupation of Korea, and meeting their needs. JJ never attended a real school when he was young, but his mother taught him as best she could. As he grew old enough, he was put to work as well, learning from a young age how to please those in power.Â
J quickly learned that his greatest downfall was his looks. He was beautiful, almost feminine looking, with delicate features and bright eyes. This brought him all kinds of attention, most of it unwelcome and unwanted. But thereâs not much he could do about it given his social status.Â
When he became old enough to go out on his own, and thankfully Korea gained its freedom from Japanese rule, J started from the bottom and eventually started his own entertainment business. He hosted lavish parties, entertained those willing to pay, danced with them, poured their drinks, and on occasion even slept with his clients. Not the most honorable profession, but it brought him good money and the ability to own his own place and run his life for once.Â
JJ was kind, and helped many less fortunate by offering them odd jobs or getting them on as hosts. Itâs his kindness that screwed him over in the end.Â
One particular client was absolutely in love with JJ, or Baby J, as he called him. The man was married, but spent far more time with JJ at his club than he did with his wife. It didnât take the woman long to find out what was going on, and she got revenge one night as JJ was locking up for the night, stabbing him countless times and leaving him for dead.Â
Heaven was positively lovely for Jeongsu for many, many years. The collector had had his eye on him for a long while, and kept asking him to come to limbo. JJ didnât know why the being took such interestâŠmaybe it was his looks again. Finally, the idea of getting to live again became too much to resist, and he said yes. Now, JJ is ready to bring happiness to the residents of limbo and maybe even shake things up a bit.
PLEASE WELCOME Â [ KEISUKE LEE ], A [ 24 ] YEAR OLD DEMON OF [ WRATH ]. HE CURRENTLY LIVES IN [ RM 501 ] OF THE [ IRA ] BUILDING AND IS A [ CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATOR ] FOR THE [ SPD ].
( Please follow the admin twitter within 48 hours of acceptance. )
Faceclaim: Byun Baekhyun EXO
Full Name: Keisuke âKyleâ Lee
Nickname(s): Kei
Age: 24
Date of birth: December 15th, 1995
Age at death: 24
Date of death: March 1st, 2020
Cause of death: Impaled by pole
Demon form: Keisukeâs demon form can change depending on his mood. When normal, heâs a black silhouette of himself with small horns and a tail protruding out of his back, the only thing visible on his shadow-like body being his glowing white eyes. When angry or in need to attack, the mans form becomes more gruesome, growing several feet taller. His teeth are now visible, long and sharp and a glowing white while his fingertips grow long and knife-like. His form becomes much skinnier, resembling somewhat of a skeletal appearance as long black wings dripping a black fluid sprout out of his back, almost appearing to be withering away.
Ability: Atrophy Inducement
Family: Father (Henry Lee), Mother, Two half sisters
Sin: Wrath
Residence: Ira Room 501
Occupation: Seoul Police Department / Crime Scene Investigator
Worst nightmare: Being alone
Personality:
Keisuke can be someone who tends to push people away, not on purpose, but because he doesnât particularly know how to respond to others sometimes. He can be considered somewhat of a tsundere-type person, seeming cold and stand-offish to people even though he enjoys being around them. Keisuke also is very clumsy with his actions, not really thinking before he does something. When he trusts someone, he opens up to them and becomes vulnerable, finally being warm and kind and showing his true self.
Background:
Keisuke âKyleâ Lee was born to a single mother in Los Angeles, California in the year 1995. The only thing Keisuke knew about his father for most of his life was that his mother divorced him while she was pregnant and he disappeared to move somewhere else during the whole process. He had no idea of his name or anything, other than their shared last name.
When in elementary school, Keisukeâs mother got pregnant with twin girls from her boyfriend at the time. Keisuke loved his sisters from the minute they were born, assisting his mom in taking care of them as he enjoyed it. Everything about Keisukeâs life was pretty normal. He did average in school, had plenty of friends, and was known as the class clown. Keisuke graduated high school and got into a community college, having plans set out for his future. When in his early twenties, most young adults seemed to be really into true crime and that was no exception for Keisuke. It led him to want to pursue being a detective, wanting to work harder than ever for his goals. One day Keisuke was looking into murders in his area throughout the years and found one in particular with a man who shared his last name. His last name was common, but seeing it in a murder case still interested him nonetheless.
Upon reading the articles from the 90âs, Keisuke became intrigued with the man who killed two of his friends and ultimately died from an electrocution accident, Henry Lee. Keisuke brought this to his mom to ask about it, seeing as it was around the time of his birth and he wondered if she had remembered the story. His mother was shocked, believing her son would never find out about this case. About his father. While no one was really aware of the reasoning behind the murders, Keisukeâs mother did sit down with him and let him know that this man was his father. This information had hit Keisuke hard, as he always assumed his father was just a deadbeat. But he was much worse, he was a murderer. Sure the motive wasnât ever discovered, but he couldnât stop thinking about that one fact: his father was a killer.
The information of his father and his continuation of involving himself in case articles and studies due to his job he pursued began to be a stress on the young man. The world seemed far too cold and evil. Even his own blood was evil. Why would he want to help this place? Why should he care about a world that was so cruel? Keisuke began to do poorly in classes, eventually dropping out due to his low GPA. Keisuke began to grow the desire to participate in this cruel and evil world, planning to commit petty crimes to start. Keisuke began to steal from businesses locally, both family businesses and corporations. He wanted nice things, so why couldnât he have them? Next was stealing from a single person, going for the best thing: the wallet. Keisuke walked down the streets at night, watching everyone that walked by him carefully. His eyes landed on a wallet poking out of a guyâs back pocket, to which he quickly swiped his hand over and grabbed the wallet, taking a run for it. His adrenaline rushing, he heard a man calling after him and chasing behind him quickly. Keisuke had a sinking feeling something was about to go wrong as he began to climb over a fence that separated an alleyway and the street. The fence was one with long sharp metal rods sticking up straight into the air. When attempting to get all the way over, Keisuke misstepped and fell straight onto the pole, it piercing through his stomach causing an internal hemorrhage, ultimately leading to his death. Blood dripped down the pole and onto the streets, as police lights lit up the area.
In the afterlife, Keisuke was given a chance by the Collector to live life again. The Collector had his own plans as well, wanting Keisuke to meet his father in Limbo.
