Devil's Trap [M] [IO] | |
![]() They Were Right... The ancient legends you heard when you were a child are true. There are things that go bump in the night, and they’re definitely dangerous. People die every day of unexplained events, angry ghosts seek revenge for their deaths, demons roam the earth, and so many other strange mysteries remain unexplained. There are demons in this world, monsters you would never imagine. And they’re out. Hell’s gate has been opened, paving the path for hundreds of demons to enter our world, causing chaos wherever they may roam, taking innocent lives and terrorizing our world. Before the gate was closed, too many demons were able to escape, and now, war is upon us. It’s up to you to do something about it. Will you acknowledge these truths, or turn your back to it? What happens when things get personal? The War Begins… The story takes place in modern day society in places all around the world, wherever evil may lurk. Your character may be entirely oblivious to this hidden world around them, soon to become aware by an unexpected event, or they could be hunters with a life-changing past. Perhaps they could simply be aware of the fact that there is something out there, but no do anything about it. Or maybe even be on the other side, practicing evil spells, summoning demons and spirits, and causing havoc. The choice is yours. Character Sheet
Rules 1.) Be as literate as possible. Make sure all your posts are lengthy and filled with plenty of information, with spelling and grammar as accurate as possible. No chat speak please. 2.) No God-Modding or killing off other people’s characters without their permission. Keep things fair; you‘re no better than anyone else. 3.) When speaking out of character, add a notation marked with “OOC:” at the top or bottom of your post. You may also just post in the OOC Discussion Thread. 4.) Be realistic and don’t go crazy with the role play. If possible, do research on the paranormal subject you will be posting about, or ask me about it. For example, killing a ghost with fire is rather illogical, unless, of course, it strikes some sentimental bond that is keeping the spirit in lingo, but that‘s a completely different story. PM me if you’re unsure about something and we can figure out how to alter the storyline. 5.) Abide to the site’s rules. No flaming, spamming, the whole 9 yards. 6.) This role play is not rated E. Mild content is allowed, such as swearing and romance scenes, as long as things don’t get too out of hand. Some things may make certain readers uncomfortable, such as gore-type scenes that include blood, so if that disturbs you, this roleplay may not be for you. I trust you to be in moderation of the content within your posts. 7.) Be wary and respectable of other members in the role play. Before interacting with one another, be sure to discuss the scenario through PM as not to upset one another. 8.) When creating your character sheets, please do not add an image you find off of Google or any other website on the internet. If you want to post and image of your character, MAKE IT. Using someone else’s image for your character takes away the creativity and imagination of your designing them. 9.) Every character should have a past, some type of story about how they became involved in the supernatural and what it means to them, with some sort of goal of their own. The roleplay is designed to be unique to each character, no one having the exact same story but all sharing the connection of having something happen to them in their life that causes them to be involved with the supernatural life. 10.) This role play is invitation only, so please do not join nor post without permission. Even if you are invited, please PM me your character sheet and some plans for what your character will be doing so that I may approve of them and add you to the list. Although it is invitation only, if you still really wish to join the role play, you may send me a PM containing the necessary information or post in the OOC Discussion Thread. Thank you. Role Players ![]() Member Name: Mr Charmed One ![]() Member Name: Midnight Blue ![]() Member Name: Dragon Warrior1 General Information Rock salt guns and silver bullets are two commonly used weapons when battling evil. Anything made out of silver dispels ghosts, as well does rock salt bullets. Silver bullets are commonly used in many lures for different types of supernatural beings and are a common weapon to be used. Holy water may hurt and stun a demon possessing a human, but will not exorcise them. To exorcise them, a chant would have to be used, but a demon will not sit and let you exorcise them; you’d have to trap them, either by sealing them off in a salt circle, or using a more unknown method called a Devil’s Trap. (see image at top of page) There are many types of Devil’s Traps by the Key of Solomon, but for the purpose of the roleplay, we’ll go by a simpler version which consists of a Pentagram with special symbols inside of it. A Devil’s Trap could be drawn on a floor or ceiling, and can be hidden from demons. Demons can walk in, but they can not walk out, allowing you to exorcise them, or interrogate them. A real exorcism chant is incredibly long and difficult to use, so for the purpose of this roleplay, if anyone would like to use an exorcism ritual, you may use this: There are many other versions and additions for the exorcism, and if you use another version, that is fine, too. (Full versions found here) When battling a demon or a ghost, salt is a necessary tool. Under every window and door, salt acts as a barrier, like a force field preventing evil spirits from entering. With some technique, salt could be used to trap evil spirits as well. The only way to kill a vampire is to cut off and burn their heads. No stake to the heart, no sunlight, no cross. Decapitate them. Demons often leave traces of sulfur, which helps determine whether or not the victim had contact with a demon or not.

re: Devil's Trap [M] [IO] | |
There, next to the stairs that stretched three floors, was a door that hadn’t been opened in three years. Partially, because no one knew where the key was expect Miaka and, partially, because no one wanted to know what was inside. Even if someone knew where the key was, Miaka’s mother had banned anyone from going into the room long before she had abandoned them. Miaka knew where the key was because she was clever. Beautiful red. It was what her name meant. It was then it dawned on her. In her room, there was a picture on the wall of Miaka but with red hair. Miaka had never had red hair but that was the way her father had asked the artist to paint it. Next to it, was one of Kayla with purple hair. She ran up to her old room and carefully pushed open the door. She didn’t sleep in this room anymore; it held too many memories. She removed her painting from the wall and behind it was a small hole in the wall. In that small hole in the wall, was the key to the basement and her dad’s office. She bounded down the stairs her blonde hair falling into her face and she approached the door. Inside, was the world that her dad had tried so hard to protect her from. She slid the key into the door and turned it until she heard a click. She then turned the handle slowly and pushed the door open. Inside, were shelves and shelves of books, notepads, and piles of paper. Slowly, Miaka piled up chosen books and notepads labelled important then she dragged them on a small carpet [because of her lack of a wheelbarrow in the house] into the middle of the front room. Miaka then brought from her own room two corkboards, a whiteboard, sticky notes and plenty of blank notebooks. She tied her hair up into a bun and then sat in the middle of the floor in her pyjamas and socks in the front room reading her dad’s books on demons, ghosts, and other supernatural creatures and writing down the very important bits on to sticky notes and into her notebooks.
Miaka emerged from the bathroom fully clothed in clothes that could make anyone mistake her for a man; torn slouch jeans, a slightly worn out dark purple/blue vest top with an eagle on it, and boots. She used the mirror in the hallway to carefully do her hair the way she liked it. As she did her hair, she took a few seconds every so often to read over the sticky notes that decorated the edges of the mirror. “Salt, silver, sulphur, holy water, devil’s trap, exorcism…” she mumbled as she read them. By the time she had read all of them, she had perfected her hair; down but with two parts at the back tied up into two separate bobbles. She walked back into the kitchen for another muffin before sliding her way down into the basement. She retrieved ammunition for her gun and a new blade as the last one she had used had been bent and was now fairly worthless. She slipped the small blade into her boot and then took her new ammunition upstairs. She popped it into her backpack and put her gun down the back of her trousers and pulled her jacket over the top so no one could see it. Also in the bag she had salt, holy water, and spray paint. She zipped it up and threw it over her shoulder. She picked up the car keys, locked up the house, and left. Miaka used her dad’s old car. It was black in colour and the interchangeable license plates were all registered to nonexistent people. When Miaka was settled into the driver’s seat she flipped open her large wallet of fake IDs and chose one just in case. She then hid the wallet under her seat, put her chosen ID into her back pocket and started the car. “Salem Ave.. Salem Ave.. God knows why you would want to live on Salem Ave.” Around the old house, was bright yellow ‘crime scene’ tape. Miaka gave a quick glance around before stepping under the tape and walking right in through the front door. She pulled out her gun and, keeping close to the wall, wandered through the main hall of the dark, creepy house. After passing the door to the kitchen she smiled, she was far from stupid. She took another step and spun around to come face to face with what seemed to be a human. “Oh, dung beetles!” she muttered. The man in front of her had a wicked smile on his face. “Do they always have to be possessed when I bring my gun?” The smile on the face of the man widened but this had happened to Miaka all too many times for her to be stupid enough to have left her holy water in her bag where it would take time for her to get to it. In the car, she had slipped it into her pocket. She pulled out the bottle suddenly and squeezed it hard until water spluttered out into the face of the man, who screeched quite a lot when it came into contact with him, and then she bounded up the stairs. She slipped quietly into a room and pulled out her spray paint. The paint was black in colour and blended in well with the floor and the dim light. She began to draw, recalling the image to her memory to make sure she didn’t miss anything. When she was done she ran over and kicked the door closed with good force to make it slam and draw attention to herself; tell the possesed human exactly where she was. She then moved the furniture a little and hid. It wasn’t long before she heard the heavy steps bounding towards the room. She held her breath and kept her bottle of holy water ready in her hand. Through the gap in her hiding place, she saw the demon come a step away from the trap before stepping towards her hiding place instead. It was now holding something in it’s hand, some sort of bar but Miaka couldn’t see properly. The demon then wrenched the bureau from it’s place revealing Miaka. It raised the bar in it’s hand and brought it down hard, but Miaka rolled out of the way. It left a dent in the floorboards. Miaka looked a little worried. She rose to her feet and slid one foot almost inline behind the other and waited for the demon to get close enough. The demon stayed still for a moment then moved towards her quickly. Miaka dived under the bar, squirted a bit of holy water and grabbed the back of the possessed man to drag him backwards into the trap. However, Miaka hadn’t expected the bar to come flying backwards at her in the demon's frenzy at being hit with holy water. She let go of the man as soon as he was in the trap and attempted to get far enough away but the bar collided with her head. Miaka slipped on the damp floorboards and fell to the floor rolling once or twice towards the wall. She stared up at the spinning ceiling. The possessed man was trapped but Miaka was a little too disorientated to deal with it. “That hurt,” she moaned.

re: Devil's Trap [M] [IO] | |

My story... is not a normal one. When I was sixteen, I lost everything I had, but yet, gained so much more. My mother was killed, and to make it worse, it was my father that killed her. The scariest part, is why he did it. I didn't know at first, but I found out. He wanted power, demonic power. I already hated that man and thought he was crazy, but that crazy stuff... it was true. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it myself, but it was true. A cloud of black fog appeared in the room that afternoon, a demonic spirit that had come in answer to my father's ritual. I didn't have time to stay and marvel at the sight; the house burst into flames moments later, and I had to leave my own mother in cold blood at the hands of my father. I wondered to myself what kind of monster would do such a thing, and decided that was exactly right; that man was no longer my father, he is a monster. The only family I had was my mother, and she's gone now. Now, I'm alone... Columbus, Ohio "And you say that Janet had a heart attack, Mr. Watkins?" I asked the man before me. He was fairly old, probably in his late sixties, and not so in-shape, either. I mean, it wouldn't kill him to walk a couple miles. But then again, you never know, with what's out there. Mr. Watkins nodded his head. "It was a heart attack. Excuse me, sir, but why is a detective interested in this? You don't think she could have been murdered, do you?" Mr. Watkins rose his eyebrows as he spoke. I blinked once and said "We have to cover every possibility, sir. Now, did Janet have any enemies? Someone who held a grudge against her? An ex-boyfriend maybe?" Mr. Watkins looked at me for a long moment, seemingly considering the thought. "Why, no, none that I can think of. I don't see what that has to do with this, she wasn't on any special medications or anything, the heart attack was random, she was in perfect health. I just don't see why my baby girl had to go... she called me the day before talking about this antique doll she had bought" my head rose at the mention of an antique doll, and Mr. Watkins, noticing my attention to the subject, explained the matter. "--she's been collecting 'em since she were sixteen--and come to find out the next day my baby girl's gone. I don't understand why the world has to be so cruel. She was such a beautiful young woman, only nineteen years old... she wanted to be a veterinarian..." As his eyes grew wet, I nodded my head twice and told him I was sorry for his loss, hoping that his daughter were now in a better place. "Could you tell me just one last thing, sir?" Mr. Watkins rose his weary head and met my eyes. "Where did your daughter buy this doll?" ------------------- ![]() ~Captured Hearts~ | ||

“Everything’s going well,” Miaka replied as she carefully pinned up her hair to keep it off her skin so the black dye could work. “If it wasn’t I would’ve phoned.” She added as reassurance. “Alright. But, are you coping with everything else? I mean the nightmare. You haven’t had a turn for worse again have you? I can come home if necessary.” Miaka replaced the towel around her neck and picked up the phone to carry it with her into the next room. “No, everything’s fine,” she said. “I’ve changed my sleeping pattern so that I’m not sleeping when it’s supposed to happen. It’s a pain to get up in the morning but it works. I haven’t had the nightmare in weeks.” “Alright, that’s good. Sorry Mia, I have to go now. But we’ll talk soon; real soon.” The line went dead before Miaka could respond so she put the phone back on it’s stand and went up to her room. She was sick of her skirts and tight fitting jeans; the tight pink tops and the make up. She craved something else; something a little more boy. She rifled through her wardrobe tossing things she hated to one side until her wardrobe was virtually empty. ‘Boy, boy, boy…’ she thought and then it hit her. Her brother had left his closet full of clothes. She swung her wardrobe doors shut and slid into her brother’s bedroom to open his closet. His closet was full with an array of various trousers ranging from combat to biker and smart to ripped. She eventually settled on a pair of slouch jeans that had belonged to his ex-girlfriend but she had long since forgotten to pick them up and a couple of pairs of combat jeans. His t-shirts were far from appealing but she took to a jacket hanging at the very back of his closet. She then rummaged through her everlasting pile of clothes and found a few t-shirts that actually appealed to her. They varied in colours through a spectrum of purples, blues, and greens. But each t-shirt had the image of some animal of prey on it. One had an eagle, one a tiger, and so on. She tried each item of clothing up against her to make sure they fit and appealed to her before throwing all of her other clothes away. She figured she would never wear them again anyhow. She set aside her new slouch jeans and the purple top that had an eagle on it, from her selection, to wear when she had washed out the black dye from her hair. She then slid down the banister of the two flights of stairs into the basement to practise until the dye was ready to wash out.
As she repeated it, it strengthened it to something of a chant and then the man collapsed as a black shadow appeared from within him. The shadow flickered and then disappeared. She glanced at the man who had supposedly killed his wife and two police officers but in all honestly he had just been possessed. “Sorry mate, I can’t help you anymore then I already have. Maybe you can claim mental illness. Then again that’s exactly what they’ll think if you start ranting about demons and ghosts.” She kicked the bar from his hand and then walked out, shutting the door behind her. It seemed, since the deaths of the police men that no one had any interest in entering or being near the house as no one spotted her leaving either. Taking the opportunity, she jumped into her car and drove off as quickly as possible. “What people don’t know…” she stopped realising many people died because of things they didn’t know about. It was the middle of winter, so by 5 o’clock the sun was already setting. Miaka was now sitting in her car in the middle of a car park with a book of newspaper clippings in her lap and a police radio she’d found blaring out reports from all sides of town. "Hey Tony, I’ve got a disturbances case on Crimson Drive but I can’t find the so-…" the line crackled then there was a high pitched squeak before the line went silent again. Miaka raised an eyebrow at the compact machine before rifling through her book of newspaper clippings. ‘Woman of nineteen dies of heart attack’, it read. Miaka scanned the story. She remembered reading the clipping once before. “Janet Watkins lived at 17 Crimson Drive and was discovered in the early hours of the morning…” she read. “It can’t hurt…” she mumbled aloud as she thought of ways there could be a connection. Miaka started up the engine of the black car and then set on her way. ------------------- ![]() | ||

Jeff R. Alleron, a name I wish I could just leave behind, a part of me that isn't needed anymore, and the last part of me that I have control over, that deals with my past.
Jeff lit a cigarette and took a long drag from it, blowing out the smoke slowly, to calm his nerves. After the smoke, Jeff let off a heavy sigh, with which his breath was visible due to the cold night air. He put the hood of his sweatshirt over his head, put the pack of smokes in his pocket, and then checked under his shirt one last time to make sure he had the handgun with him. He remembered a time when, because of his lack of checking, he was in a fight without a gun, and almost died. Everything check with him, Jeff went into the building he was standing infront of, taking another drag of his cigarete as he entered. A chubby man came into view of the entry way to the building and questioned what Jeff was doing, but Jeff didn't respond. "I'm going to ask you to leave, sir, we are closed, please leave." "I can't do that." Jeff mumbled, clear enough for the man to hear him, but still quiet enough to mask his voice. Jeff was looking a little more to the ground than straight forward, so his face couldn't be seen, and eventually the man began to walk forward, to possibly try to force him out of the building that was closed, although it looked like a store from what Jeff could tell when he first entered. When the man got too close for Jeff to be calm, he took the cigarette out of his mouth and flicked it at the man, which only angered him as he went behind a counter and got out a bat. "I'll ask you one last time, get out of my store!" "I said I can't do that." Jeff calmly replied again, although this time he didn't mumble. The man before Jeff quickly stepped toward him, the bat raised like he was playing baseball, ready to hit Jeff, but instead of running, Jeff smirked as he raised his arm up and caught the full force swing easily, and got the bat out of the man's hands. Jeff then threw the bat to the ground behind him, and took a step forward, while the man took a few steps back. "Wh-what do you want?!" The man shouted, a little squeak in his voice from fear, which only made Jeff grin. With his grin, Jeff pulled out the handgun from the waist of his jeans, raise it above him, and shot out the lights of the store, leaving the two in complete darkness. Jeff took a few steps to his left as quietly as he could while he heard some thumping from infront of him, and suddenly the door flew out. The man, as Jeff was used to seeing, thought that with the lights out, he could tackle the gun bearing villain down, but instead, got himself knocked out. Jeff took out a flashlight and looked about the store for anything valuable, and when he couldn't find anything, he just rummaged through the cash register, taking as much money as he could, looking through the area where he shot the lights for the bullet he shot. Once he found the bullet, he went over to the man laying down on the sidewalk, completley knocked out, grabbed the wallet, and threw it back once he saw there was no money in it. Jeff took his remaining time to run away to as far away as possible, and once he got far enough away, he would take off his gloves, and light them on fire. No more evidence as far as Jeff could tell. ------------------- | ||

The antique shop a few blocks away from Janet‘s apartment was pretty dusty, filled with all types of old knick-knacks. Most of them looked fake, if you asked me. While I was there I noticed a wall of dolls of all sorts. If I had stood in there longer than necessary I might have shot myself with Maria Lee; their evil beady little eyes scared the crap out of me. What I discovered was exactly as I had presumed. Turns out that the hair on that doll actually had belonged to a woman once. When I did some research on that woman, I learned that she died of a heart attack, the same way Janet had died. Sounds like we have a ghost on our hands. Her death report also stated that she was cremated, which meant I couldn’t salt and burn her bones; her hair was her last remains, and now that hair is part of a doll. You burn the doll, you kill the ghost. You kill the ghost, you end the deaths. Sounds like a plan. Only it wasn‘t that easy. It turned out that Janet‘s furniture had already been moved out of her house; including the doll. Now that the doll is in someone else‘s hands, someone just might suffer the same fate as Janet and those before her. I debated whether or not I should return to Mr. Watkins‘ and seek answers, or if it would be too much trouble to the mourning man. I didn‘t have to consider it for very long; whoever had taken the furniture left me some evidence, a small business card laying on the empty bedroom floor. It read “Vatcort‘s Auction House, Open from 7 to 9pm during the weekend.” Today was Friday. I had to strike now, before it was too late. Luckily the business card gave an address. I hurried out of the house and jumped onto my ‘94 Harley, it‘s chrome red body glistening with the light of the setting sun. It would be dark soon. I kicked myself off, the engine revving, and blasted down the street. By the time I arrived, darkness had begun to spread over Columbus. I hid the bike in an alley nearby, locking it up tight. The building looked rather shabby and run-down, but pretty well sized. The front door was locked, and I figured it may have an alarm as well. Instead, I sought a back entrance. It wasn’t hard to find, and with the aid of a paperclip, opened without resistance. I found myself inside of a large dark room littered with many chairs. At the far end of the room was a stage where the auctioneers would stand while the people below made their offers. I was in the auction room. Flashlight handy, I made my way toward the stage. There must be a room behind it where the merchandise to be auctioned is kept. Climbing up the stairs to the stage, my eyes searched for any other doors nearby. Behind the stage I found it. A door to the right was locked tight, and gave me a feeling of confidence. It had to be here. “Hey! What are you doing in here?!” an angry voice called. I turned to find a gun pointed to my face. ------------------- ![]() ~Captured Hearts~ | ||
