This is the archives thread for the Shippers Redux RP. The summaries of its parts as well as links to both the former and latter will be posted here. Do not post in this thread.


A bit about the RP:

Starting out as just a normal trip to the amusement park, when suddenly Allen and co. has the same dream, foretelling possible relationships and events that may come. At first no one regarded it as anything serious when they suddenly run into Vince and Zahia, telling them that there could be deeper meaning to the dream. After gaining their trust they also asked for their aid in another plot conducted by the Earl.

In his quest to create more effective akuma, the Earl consulted ancient magic to bring back the death using The Gates of the Afterlife and placing a curse upon them that grants them increased human prowl but their minds struck in a loved crazed insanity to seek out their loved one and unknowingly kill them.

Now our heroes are in a quest to bringing back all the souls to the afterlife in order to break their curse, but will they be able to handle both their blooming feelings for each other while juggling all the new mysteries that will unfold about the Souls?

It's a shipper RP so there are pairings slowly progressing to be pairings, that would be Allen x Lenalee, Lavi x Kanda, and an OC pairing, Yuri x Anna. : D There's also epic OCs Vince x Zahia but they are already together, dandy and giving out tips to others so I didn't count them (but Lady A says they're too gonna grow as a couple during the play).


Cast: (fodder chars can be played by anyone):
Lady Akuma: Lenalee Lee, Vince, Zahia, Gean,
Darklight: Allen Walker, Yuri, Bookman,
Tossino: Lavi, Anna, Komui Lee,
Dementia: Kanda Yu,

The Dream

The dream that everyone had at the very beginning of the RP, to them seemed a strange reflection of an alternate time of the past (in other words another RP and originally crackish). This dream depicting them also being in a relationship with their respective partner. With everyone having the same dream, you can't help but wonder if it was mere coincidence....

Soul Plot
Important information regarding the soul plot about plot details revealed and to help people out from not having to dig up that information.


The Afterlife

Souls are a key element in the D.gray universe and it's heavily implied that there is some form of afterlife that the souls go to, what that is isn't described in DGM. In this RP a concept of the afterlife is established to help explain the behavior of various soul characters that will appear. This explanation of the afterlife also tries to combine various religious beliefs that are also present beside Christianity. The Afterlife, in it's simplest form, the place where souls go when they die. This 'place' is an actual tangible place that exists but it exists in another realm or dimension right next to the known universe. How the Afterlife appears to the soul is different to each one. Whatever their overall state of mind is when they die, will affect how the afterlife appears.

Heaven state- This describes someone who died with a satisfaction for life, emotionally content and ready to die. To them the Afterlife will appear as 'heaven' or a place of joy, peace, love and pleasure. It will also reflect their ideal world. These people can also see others in a heaven state and interact with them, but they arn't able to see people in a hell state, but are aware of their dead existence.

Hell state- This describes someone who died in emotional turmoil, having a troubled life and in a sense hating ever living in the first place. The afterlife reflects the pain in their mind and creates a suffering vision of their ideal world. These people are unable to see anyone else in the afterlife confined to their own pain.

Souls are capable of moving between these states depending if their state of mind ever changes.

Equilibrium state- This state describes someone who was neither happy or sorrowful when they died, but what happens to them depends on their soul's position:

Ghost- Souls that die in an equilibrium state of mind will become ghosts trapped and bound to the earth for some way until something can sway them into the afterlife.

Reincarnation- Souls that were in the afterlife already but were swayed into an equilibrium state have the chance to be reborn and have another try at life.

Nirvana- This hasn't been stated in the RP yet, but it's implied that there is a some sort of nirvana state.

Souls
In this RP, Souls are mostly known as those who were brought back to life via the Gate of the Afterlife. Souls can also describe Akuma souls as well. These soul's have Soul-bodies, or in a sense their soul takes on a solid form that's capable of imitating their original body. While like this, the Soul needs to take care of the soul body just like a normal body and the body is capable of performing all the feats a normal human body can except it's ageless and more durable. The down side is, it can also be 'killed' but instead of the soul returning to the afterlife, the soul will disappear and be sent to oblivion.

Another thing to note that all living things have a mind body and soul, and a "Soul" is actually comprised of a soul and a mind normally. (these are concepts not mentioned in the RP yet, but I figure it will be important later on and best to define them now)

Body- The shell in which the soul can channel itself in and the vessel where the mind can interact with the rest of the universe. The body helps control the power of the soul and allows the mind to grow. Quite fragile when compared to the other two, since it spends most of it's force just trying to control the vast power that the soul has. But when the body is damaged, it's components simply reemerge with the universe around it. It's almost impossible to completely destroy the body's components.

Mind- The very thing that defines the 'self' of someone. Composed of memories, emotion, knowledge and experience. The mind can only exist when connected to a Soul, as it's infinite imagination and potential requires an infinite source of energy. The mind can only grow if connected to some sort of body. Because of the complex nature of the mind, the power of the soul can't emerge completely and only manifests as a reflect of the mind. The mind is the only thing that can be completely destroyed the 'easiest'.

Soul- An infinite source of energy and capable of doing virtually anything possible. When combined with a mind and body, it's the thing that defines the living from non-living. How it's created is a mystery in itself but it is linked to the combination of the body as a channel. Because it's a source of infinite energy it's impossible for it to be destroyed.

The Gate of the Afterlife
The name of the gate that links the living and the afterlife together. Thousands of years ago, there was an ancient tribe skilled in magic and channeling power from the world beyond. Among that tribe there was a powerful sorcerer who had devised a gate way that linked the living and dead worlds. For those souls who passed from death and living were granted soul-bodies, more durable than normal ones and ageless as the soul itself. With it, they are given the chance to live again. Those living who passed into the world of the dead unlock their awakening soul and great foresight as the see the ‘life of the dead’.

The Curse
When affect by the curse, the soul gains super strength, speed, heightened senses, good reflexes, and aggressive behavior. The Earl had caught wind of the Gate of the Afterlife( three years before the events of LJ), and with the potential it processes in his ability to create more powerful akuma. With his foul power he opened the gates once more but placed a curse upon those who passed through.

This curse messes with the mind of the soul’s perception of love, causing them to subconsciously find the one they loved during their life time, or find someone new to love. Whether this person is still alive or not, whoever looks closet to their loved one will entice this curse. The curse itself doesn’t completely affect the soul unless their loved one was nearby, where the curse pushes the soul to it’s limits, making them more powerful and stronger in all aspects. If the soul were to ever find their victim, the soul will kill them, unable to realize what they are actually doing. After the victim is killed the curse will fad away after a day, but with the soul fulling realizing what it did. Under it’s extreme depression, that is when the Earl will strike. The depression itself is most extreme for the first 24 hours but could last longer. The only safe way to release the soul from the curse is to make the soul realize they truly can’t ‘love’ their loved one. (or what it looks like to those not affected, truly can’t kill them) and the curse is broken. The other way to break the curse is to send them back through the gate since this curse is mostly attached to the soul-body.
