Pylon wishes to welcome VIDEI the CUSTODIAN from PURGATORY as an official METALWORKER/LINGUIST to the new world!  

(Please follow the admin twitter within 48 hours of acceptance)

Faceclaim (real name, alias/stage name, occupation): Park Chanyeol, EXO Name: Videithari Nicknames: Videi Age: He’s not quite sure at this point, mentally however he’s about 25 now Birthday: Unknown Race: Alien (”Custodian”) Physical Appearance:

Videi has two forms.  

His original form is taller than the tallest of humans. He’s slender, with skin as pale as snow, limbs too long for his body, and teeth menacingly sharp. His eyes are completely black, although this is due to the pupils expanding in order to see better in the dark tunnels he used to inhabit.

In his human form he’s still quite lanky which is something he can’t seem to hide properly, but his height is at least still plausible for a human. He has naturally white/light blonde hair and very dark eyes. His ears stick out quite a bit, which is something he’s come to quite like about his human form.

Role Category: Livelihood (& social sciences) Occupation: Metalworking (& linguist) Personality:

Videi is extremely curious. Even though he has matured quite a bit during his search for his friends, he still hasn’t lost his almost childlike wonder for anything unfamiliar.

When the situation calls for it he can act with the maturity and wisdom of someone who has lived a long, full life– which he technically has by Earth’s standards, as Custodians age much slower than humans.

He can be extremely stubborn and moody when he doesn’t get his way and will purposely irritate others just for the fun of it.

Background:

In an almost Little Mermaid-esque way, Videi spent all his life underground wishing he could live above it with the humans. Before he was born his people, commonly referred to as Custodians, lived in a realm that was theirs entirely. They were forced to find another home however when the resources dried up and it became inhabitable.

A deity chanced upon them and they came to a deal. The Custodians would help the deity maintain purgatory in exchange for a place to live and all the resources they could ever need. So the Custodians abandoned their home and took up residence below a city in purgatory. They built rabbit warren-like tunnels, so many until they had entire self-sustained cities of their own.

Videi, unlike his older relatives, was intrigued by the humans living above them. He eventually even made friends, Hyungwon and Yeongsik. The two purgatory residents were the reason Videi decided to leave his home in the first place. For a while he had no destination, he went from world to world, his curiosity guiding him. Until he started to feel oddly homesick, but it wasn’t for purgatory, it was for his friends.

Family/Ties: Videi considers Hyungwon and Yeongsik his family, or at the very least his closest friends. Basic Homeworld Info (the world your muse comes from):

The Custodians used to have their very own home, until the resources dried up and they were found by a deity. They came to a mutually beneficial deal and decided to share what is now known as purgatory.

They created a giant rabbit warren-esque city underneath purgatory, where they were mostly farmers, inventors, and also the clean up crew for the disastrous world above theirs, which is how they got the name “Custodian”.

Extra Abilities:

His irises are able to expand enough for him to see in pitch blackness.

In his original form he is able to bite through flesh and bone with his sharp teeth and at times even through metal, although that can harm him.

He’s deceptively strong for someone with his lanky frame and can throw the average human around like a ragdoll. Which he mostly does when he’s excited.

He can speak several languages, three of which aren’t “human”.

Weaknesses:

Direct sunlight. Not only does it hurt Videi’s eyes but he also burns faster than most, despite having what can be considered human skin now.

Any kind of medication. Nothing seems to sit well with his stomach, he’ll vomit it all right back up. His Custodian system isn’t used to these kind of things. Custodians never really get sick, and if they’re injured they can simply regenerate using a sacred artifact, but sadly Videi doesn’t have that with him. It’d be a little difficult to transport an entire river in his pocket, although lord knows he would’ve tried.

He’s very easily distracted by the things he likes. Denim, action movies, birds, birds wearing denim.

Pylon wishes to welcome YEONGSIK the DEMON from PURGATORY as an official AGRICULTURIST to the new world!  

(Please follow the admin twitter within 48 hours of acceptance)

IC Information: Faceclaim (real name, alias/stage name, occupation): Lee Taemin / Idol Name: Chae Yeongsik Nicknames: Sik, Sikkie Age: Appears 24, is 406 Birthday: 18th July Race: Human Demon Physical Appearance: HUMAN: Yeongsik is lithe, and short for most adult human males. But there’s a sense of strength in him, callused hands and lean muscle suggest that behind each movement there is power in his body. It contrasts against the androgyny of his face, large plump lips with no peak and soft slanted eyes. Only when he leans down, or intense lighting do the sharper features turn his innocent image into something more sensual. DEMON: Two barren and dark eyes stare with the internal, uninterested gaze of those who have joined the afterlife. Two skeletal wings extend themselves fully. Shadowy bones, and feathers of ebony stretch upward as a show of potential force. Two glossy curved horns adorns his human head, spiraling up in the twisted wickedness of flowing blood, and branching off as barren twigs. A plumage of ebony feathers surround his head and inch down his chest. His sickly pallor showcases the thick bands of muscle and cracked skin across his entire being. Role Category: Livelihood Occupation: Agriculture Personality: Sik is a very relaxed person, taking most things in his stride. He’s slow when it comes to processing new information, and often needs telling twice or thrice. He’s quick to catch off guard, and easily feel inadequate. From his deep rooted insecurities and personal fears, he often finds himself comparing himself to others and often brings himself up on the slightest mistake. However he now feels comfortable enough in his lovers appreciation and trust, he does not get jealous over him. But instead envy over ways he hasn’t treated the man in yet, such as holidays and days out. Family: Most are lost to time, but he has a husband. Chae Hyungwon. Basic Homeworld Info: The human world, and then a purgatory like afterlife. Before coming here. Extra Abilities: Sik can produce bodily pains, only when in his demon form. However these are mental and are not physical, and are limited by how close he can get and if he is in his demon form. Weaknesses: Sik can be rather slow, his intelligence was not mathematical or calculated moves. He was knowledgable in physical things, not bothered by worldly issues.

Pylon wishes to welcome SHEN the DEMON from PURGATORY as an official HEAD OF SECURITY to the new world!  

(Please follow the admin twitter within 48 hours of acceptance)

Faceclaim: Wang Yibo

Name: Xiao Shen

Nicknames: Shennie, Five

Age: 1391

Birthday: June 20, 628 A.D.

Race: Demon

Physical Appearance: His human form is a male of chinese descent. 186cm tall, tan, relatively muscular, dark brooding eyes and dark colored hair. He has no significant scars other than the large slash across his back, which he has covered up with a dragon tattoo since. That is his only tattoo.

His demon form is a manifestation of shadows that resembles a humanoid form, extra tendrils of shadows moving about without care. His eyes glow a soft ruby red and are the only distinguishable marker.

Role Category: Security/safety

Occupation: Bodyguard/escort, head of security

Personality: Shen is what they call the strong, silent type. It doesn’t take a professional eye to see that even the way he presents himself is strong, dominating, like he’s used to running the show. Which frankly, isn’t weird considering that he’s been around for hundreds of years. He’s seen many people come, people go, and seen life change over the course of time.

He’s mastered the art of adaptation, blending in, making it seem like he hasn’t lived for over a thousand years. He’s a man of few words and a lot of patience. What is a few days in the eyes of the eternal?

He can come across scary, and intimidating at first, but deep down he cares.

Background: Xiao Shen was born as Xiao Jianyu and into a happy family, loyal to the emperor. And he lived a happy life until tragedy struck and his parents and sister died in a house fire, started by those who opposed the emperor. The emperor took pity on the 8 year old orphaned boy and took him in, raising him among the military. He quickly proved useful and in loyalty to the emperor for so graciously taking him in he started working for him, winning battle after battle due to his cunning mind, ruthlessness and thirst for blood.

Quickly he was given command over an elite troop, working in the shadows, infiltrating enemies and toppling governments from within. The reputation of emperor Taizong grew, partly because of the work he’d done from the shadows. As time went on he grew more bloodthirsty, and less careful. He was a dangerous opponent but cared deeply for his men. Safe to say, no one ever lived to tell the tale if he ever attacked.

The emperor Taizong died, and was succeeded by his son, emperor Gaozong.

Shen stayed loyal to the new emperor, but Emperor Gaozong didn’t have the insight his father had. They clashed occasionally and after another clash about a mission Shen deemed too dangerous, he was proven right. The troop was ambushed and Shen sacrificed himself, saving his troops while he got stuck in a crypt, where he met his end. He’d sustained an injury while saving his men and bled to death, alone in that crypt.

He woke up in hell, for all the war crimes he’d committed. But instead of accepting his faith, he fought it. Fueled by his blood lust, he became a force to be reckoned with, even in hell. Even hell didn’t want him anymore and it’s still unclear how, but as punishment he ended up in a realm akin to purgatory, pissing off it’s creator with his constant attempts to escape. But he also peaked the curiosity with the sheer ingenuity of his escape plans, hence why he didn’t perish by the hand of said creator.

He eventually settled down, helping oversee this purgatorial world, protecting it and helping it grow.

Family: He also became guardian and eventually friend of another demon who had the ability to spread large scale destruction, with capabilities far beyond everyone’s understanding, including his own. His name was Leo and over time, they grew to be an unstoppable duo. Having both lost their families, but with Shen recognizing parts of himself in Leo, he arranged for blood test to be done, to find out that they were actually related.

Leo must’ve been a descendant from one of the women he’d charmed and slept with during the war, before he died.

Having found out their familial ties, Shen made a promise to himself to always be there for him and protect him. So when Leo told him about the celestial visits and his plan to leave their home in purgatory, he didn’t hesitate, following him into the new world.

Basic Homeworld Info: Originally, Shen was born during the Tang dynasty in ancient China. Back when it was run over by war. When he met his end there he went to hell, before moving to a purgatory like world, shaped like a city that was often run over by otherworldly beings.

Extra Abilities: As a demon from hell, he has the ability to shift to a different form, his demon form. It resembles a humanoid made out of shadows and he can control this form at will. It can be solid or completely untouchable. He can hide in the shadows and even manipulate one simply by controlling their shadows.

Weaknesses: There is a weakness to his shadow form, but no one has discovered it yet. Shen is prone to overworking himself due to having trouble letting things go and he still has trouble surpressing his bloodthirst at times. Both he is working on. He has crazy stamina but that too, has a limit.

Pylon wishes to welcome KARA the VALKYRIE from HEIM as an official SCOUT to the new world!  (Please follow the admin twitter within 48 hours of acceptance)

IC Information: Faceclaim (real name, alias/stage name, occupation): Anya Chalotra, actress Name: Kara Bjerke Nicknames: Kara the Battle Maiden, Mistress of Magic, Kara the Bold Age: actual- 75, appearance- 27 Birthday: November 22nd, 1945 Race: Valkyrie Physical Appearance: humanoid- beautiful, with striking eyes and dark brown hair. She has the ability to take on the appearance/capabilities of a raven at will, also Role Category: Security/Safety Occupation: Scout Personality: Kara is not always the friendliest to encounter, at least not at first. She has a softer side once you’re able to get past the cold facade. She’s elegant, poised, and well-spoken, and does not compromise her goals easily. Background: Kara’s actual parentage is unknown to her, but it is believed that she as well as others of her kind were created by Odin to serve as his warriors. She was raised by servants of Odin and trained harshly from day one. There was no childhood to speak of, only battle and magic training and whatever schooling they deemed necessary at the time. Kara was often resentful of her upbringing, because she just wanted to be a child, to play and enjoy her youth. Such is not the life of a Valkyrie, however.

By the time she was a teenager, Kara had become one of the most powerful of her kind. Her ego was unmatched to boot…after all, why deny what you’re good at? Many feared her, many allowed themselves to be used by her and considered it an honor. It was rare that men stood up to her. She lead many of her comrades to victory time and time again, and wanted for nothing.

But things change, as they often do. After a few decades, the wars on her home plane died down, and her services became unnecessary. Kara became bored…which is a dangerous thing in and of itself. She decided to use her magical abilities to explore other worlds, which is what landed her in this new space….the space between.

The chance to create her own new world was too great to pass up. Little did she know she’d soon encounter an old friend there, the last place she’d ever imagine. One of the only men to actually match her own ego and challenge her….

Family: her only “family” are the maidens that fought with her Basic Homeworld Info : Heim Extra Abilities: Kara has the ability to see into the future, specifically see possible outcomes of any given situation. She can use this information to move towards the most desirable outcome.

Kara possesses magical abilities, similar to that of a mage. She is a keen tactician and knows her way around a battlefield, and her spells can do great damage. Additionally, she uses magic to keep her appearance young despite her actual age. Weaknesses: Physically, she’s not the most strong. Her power comes from her magic, and she’s good with a sword, but she’s lean. Also, her magical abilities drain her and she has to rest up after a while to replenish.

Pylon wishes to welcome HIDETO the DEMON from PURGATORY as an official MUSICIAN to the new world!  (Please follow the admin twitter within 48 hours of acceptance) 

Faceclaim (real name, alias/stage name, occupation): Park Jung Min/Romeo- SS501, singer/actor Name: Nakamura Hideto Nicknames: Hide, Romeo Age: 32 at death, 53 total Birthday: Oct 25th, 1966 Race: Demon Physical Appearance: human, can change into his demon form at will, which consists of gargoyle-esque wings that come to the center of his back, pale skin, red eyes, and very long, dark hair that goes past his shoulders Role Category: Entertainment/Arts Occupation: Musician-Singer/guitar player Personality: Hide is a textbook sociopath: manipulative, has a grandiose sense of self, lack of remorse for his actions, superficial charm (and lots of it) and is naturally impulsive. He’s a chameleon, and can be whatever he wants to be in any given moment. He says what he wants, and has no filter, so be mindful… Hide is pansexual, aromantic.

Background: Hide was born into a well to-do family in Tokyo in the mid 60s, and he was different from a young age. He didn’t seem to process emotions normally, and had a hard time making real friends. He also was rebellious, never following rules, which continued into his teenage years. He was a brilliant musician, a prodigy even, and ran off to start a band before he could actually finish high school. This did not sit well with his family, naturally.

Eventually, Hide scored himself and his bandmates a record deal. It was the mid 80s by now, a time of hair metal, sex, and drugs. Hide was a trendsetter, and his glam vampire-esque looks took the scene by storm. He took the stage name “Romeo,” and lived up to it by seducing scores of fans, male and female alike. At the height of his fame, his family disowned him, saying he was “following the devil’s path.” Not that he cared. He had all the money, sex, and notoriety anyone could want…family was unneeded.

Years went by, and many were jealous of Romeo’s success. Especially those closest to him. His bandmate, Shuta, (who was also his lover) was by far the worst. Hide didn’t love him…he doesn’t really know what love is, the concept doesn’t compute. And he was not always good to Shuta…he was promiscuous, selfish, and often emotionally abusive. One night, Shuta couldn’t take it anymore, and poisoned Hideto’s nightcap.

Waking up in hell was unwelcome, but not entirely surprising. He was a selfish prick for most of his life, willing to do anything to get what he wanted, even screw others over in the process. He was given a reprieve from Hell after a while and brought into Purgatory, a welcome respite and a second chance to redeem himself. It wasn’t all fun and games, however, and Hide found himself in a fight for his life against all kinds of grotesque demonic creatures. It was a bit too much.

When the opportunity arose to step through the gateway thanks to his good friend Leo, Hide was all too happy to take the chance and see what new adventures await him.

Family: none that would acknowledge him Basic Homeworld Info (the world your muse comes from): Purgatory Extra Abilities: Hide has the ability to induce excruciating pain into anyone he wishes, rendering them temporarily immobile. He also has extra inhuman strength when he is in demon form. Weaknesses: fatigue after using his demonic abilities, he needs to recharge a while

Pylon wishes to welcome MINHYUK the ANGEL from PURGATORY as an official TECH to the new world!  

(Please follow the admin twitter within 48 hours of acceptance)

Faceclaim (real name, alias/stage name, occupation): Lee Minhyuk/Kpop Idol Monsta X

Name: Lee Minhyuk

Nicknames: Min, Minnie

Age: 26 

Birthday: Nov 3, 1993 (Earth years)

Race: Angel

Physical Appearance: Average height, thin but toned, sharp features in an almost feminine way. He looks the same in his angel form except he can sprout wings that look a matte silver unless he’s using his powers, and then they turn an actual shiny silver.

Role Category: Sciences

Occupation: Technology

Personality: Min is generally a positive ray of sunshine, geeky, hyper, a little messy, but with a tinge of sadness shadowing his personality. He likes to help people, loves movies and games, anything comic books, and has a soft spot for animals (especially moose). Behind the scenes he’s incredibly brave and always does his best for others. He also occasionally likes to cross dress, loves shopping, and identifies as ace with a preference towards boys and poly/open relationships (though right now he’s very in love with his fiance). 

Background: Min had a fairly happy, uneventful childhood on Earth until he got caught hacking the wrong government agency. He was given the option to go to jail or use his abilities for good and join Seoul’s SPD in the cybercrime unit. He realized there that he liked being in law enforcement and worked to become a full officer, and while he liked it, he learned a lot of tough lessons about life and loss and the darkness of the human soul. Always a comic book lover, he wound up adapting a superhero vigilante persona outside the law that allowed him to do his job better, dressing as Six, the dark angel who used technology and a bow and arrow to take down foes. None of that actually led to his human death though. He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and during a bank robbery he helped a family escape only to get caught and killed himself, after which he spent some time in Heaven as a bored angel before slipping down to Purgatory where he could be an officer again and help people. With the world in constant danger though, this took a toll on him too and when given the choice to start anew in a place without violence he gladly accepted.

Family/Ties: He has parents on Earth still, no siblings. His fiance is another angel named Atsu and he has a Newfoundland named Teddy (Theodore Pippinpaddleopsicopolis the Third).

Basic Homeworld Info (the world your muse comes from): Earth/Heaven/Purgatory. Mostly Purgatory which was, in their version, was very much like regular Earth Seoul. It evolved in time with the living Earth so the residents all lived in apartment buildings, had regular jobs, married, etc. The only catch was that very few places existed outside of their Seoul and anything beyond the borders was wasteland full of dangerous creatures. Their city was prone to attack often and was doomed to fall eventually.

Extra Abilities: Min is an ace hacker, probably one of the top in the living world and definitely was the top in Purgatory. He’s a near perfect shot with a bow and arrow, and great with general computer tech and drones/robots. He also has an angel power that allows him to send positive vibes and thoughts into people when he wraps his wings around them. 

Weaknesses: Despite being good at a lot of things, Min actually has some self confidence issues. He feels he’s messed up a lot in his life and afterlife, and that he isn’t really a good cop at all. Oftentimes he feels useless and has a hard time sleeping because of it. There was a time in his life when he was on the brink of full addiction to sleeping pills, but he’s been good about that for a few years now. Basically he’s very quick to blame himself when things go wrong, and not so good about giving himself credit when things go right.

Pylon wishes to welcome HYUNGWON the HUMAN from PURGATORY as an official LINGUIST to the new world!  

(Please follow the admin twitter within 48 hours of acceptance)

Faceclaim (real name, alias/stage name, occupation): Chae Hyungwon/Kpop Idol Monsta X

Name: Chae Hyungwon

Nicknames: Won, Wonnie

Age: 126 (appears 26)

Birthday: Jan 15, 1894 (Earth years)

Race: Human

Physical Appearance: Tall, slender and a little on the lanky side, dark eyes, has no other form outside of human

Role Category: Social Science

Occupation: Linguist

Personality: Curious, adventurous and sassy! When he arrived in Purgatory he was there under the sin of Sloth but his laziness subsided quite a bit over the years. He still has his lazy days when he just doesn’t want to do anything, but mostly now he’s become a responsible, compassionate, and even hard working person. He loves the thrill of new things more than anything. But he’s also become a bit spoiled and misses the finer things in life like fancy clothing and a soft mattress.

Background: In life his family owned a simple farm, but he rarely ever worked the fields, preferring to slip away and nap under a tree somewhere and leaving his older sister to cover for him. He always did enjoy language and adventure though, and spent many hours reading tales of far off lands and playing pretend with his sister in his downtime. He already learned Japanese, Chinese, English and a bit of German in his lifetime, but currently knows all languages (even fictional ones) thanks to a gift given him by the god of their Purgatory realm. His original death occurred during the Spanish Flu that hit Korea hard in 1918. He strongly dislikes illness due to this experience, but for the most part he’s lived happy and healthy in Purgatory for the last century. When given the opportunity to explore entire new worlds he couldn’t pass it up, leaving with his husband to venture to new lands.

Family/Ties: He assumes his sister and parents went to Heaven, he hasn’t seen them since his Earth death. He has a husband, Chae Yeongsik, and a grey cat named Binx.

Basic Homeworld Info (the world your muse comes from): Earth/Purgatory. Mostly Purgatory which, in their version, was very much like regular Earth Seoul. It evolved in time with the living Earth so the residents all lived in apartment buildings, had regular jobs, married, etc. The only catch was that very few places existed outside of their Seoul and anything beyond the borders was wasteland full of dangerous creatures. Their city was prone to attack often and was doomed to fall eventually.

Extra Abilities: Hyungwon is capable of instantly being able to understand and speak back any language, real or fictional.  

Weaknesses: Aside from being just a regular human so vulnerable to normal attacks, Hyungwon has very little fighting ability. This wouldn’t be too bad if not for the fact that his curious and adventurous nature often leads him into danger. His poor husband spends a lot of time chasing after him and keeping him safe.

Pylon wishes to welcome ATSU the ANGEL from PURGATORY as an official PATROL to the new world!  (Please follow the admin twitter within 48 hours of acceptance) 

IC Information: Faceclaim : Jung Yunho, TVXQ, singer/actor Name: Atsushi Tokugawa Nicknames: Atsu Age: 450 Birthday: Feb 6th, 1569 Race: Angel  Physical Appearance: human, but when in angel form he radiates a brilliant glow that almost completely obscures his natural features, and has long, silvery wings that match his full height. He has enhanced strength and agility while in this form.  Role Category: Security/Safety Occupation: Patrol Personality: Passionate in all he does, he doesn’t know the meaning of the word “half-assed” Friendly and outgoing, he loves to be around people. Super easy to talk to, naturally flirtatious.  Background: Born to the powerful Tokugawa clan in feudal Japan, by age 17 Atsu was feared as one of the most talented and brutal samurai assassins in the nation. He killed without a second thought, like a robot, and became desensitized to violence. It was only once the wars begin to die down that the horrors of his deeds began to haunt him. 

When his services were deemed no longer needed, he refused to harm another soul as long as he lived. He spent the latter portion of his twenties trying to make up for what he’d done, volunteering where he could and assisting the needy, studying to become a civil servant so he could bring criminals to justice and save more lives. 

Unfortunately, a rival clan still deemed him too dangerous to live despite his changes ways. The assassin became the assassinated, dispatched quickly and quietly in his sleep. 

Atsushi spent a long time in heaven…centuries likely, he wasn’t really counting. He was just glad that he was deemed worthy to be there. He was enticed to go to Purgatory, thinking it a second chance at some semblance of a life. While there for a few years, he served the inhabitants and kept them safe from the outside creatures that would want to destroy them. 

He met the only true love he’s ever had, Lee Minhyuk, and they worked together as a team. More recently though…things in Purgatory began to fall apart. When Leo offered them an opportunity at a fresh start, they both decided to take it. 

Family: none left Basic Homeworld Info : Purgatory Extra Abilities: strength inducement, able to infuse courage into others Weaknesses: he is bound to his honor, and must act accordingly. Sometimes he needs to check himself because of this.
