Ground Rules

Ok so I figured I'd set up some brief ground rules here. This is supposed to be a simple and fun way to keep in touch over break. Little bit of a roleplay twist yay so that's fun.

1. It's not about winning (making the person you're following ungodly powerful without good storyline reasoning will invariably just step on people's toes.)
2. Say yes. (If someone wants to take the storyline in a direction, do your best to contribute and improve on their idea do your best not to shoot things down as much as humanly possible.)
3. Get creative. (There's always a solution and there's always an explaination, if somebody writes something in that's not what you think would have happened. Make up an explaination.)
4. Keep it fuzzy. (One of the advantages of writing from each characters point of view is the beauty of a fallible narrator. Try to avoid God speak or explaining things too terrible much. This leaves more room to branch out.)

Now for the basic framework we're going off of the post apocalyptic world from the Cross Saga this means a short history is. God is dead. With his death Earth has plummeted into hell or more specifically it is now floating on hell. Yea hell is liquid for some reason...
Anyway this means several things. The first is that Demons have ransacked the place. Their attack along with the other various bad things that happened because God died (God being a non-denominational spiritual creator type being.), means that most of the world's infrastructure is gone. Slowly however most of the original demons have either fled or died for various reasons. Some linger on but not many and not most of the bigger scarier ones.
However a new problem faces us. Without the spiritual connection to Heaven souls don't know where or when to die. So the problem is they keep growing past the point when they would have moved to heaven or hell. This means that souls are becoming twisted and growing out of the human body which is a protector for it. The rest you should probably know or if not, ask questions. Anna and Katie's judgement is basically law because while I created this stuff, they honestly have better documentation than I ever could pretend to.

Furthermore these are not going to be Canonical events. By that I mean it will resemble the Cross stories I write and if it so happens it can be plugged in. However it will not be based on real life events for the most part and does not by any means need to stick to that storyline directly. Think of it sort of like the same rules that apply to fan-fiction.

So this has been wordy and unnecessary. Yay.
