Title: One thousand and one nights

-/Story\-

"You know the old christian belief? Everyone has a guardian angel looking over them? Yeah, well, that's not exactly how it happens... The world is under constant watch, not by any force that could be considered godly. Ambiguous spirits walk beside us everyday, no-one could see them. Before the war.

The third world war. It was hardly even to be called that, since it was over in two days... Every soldier, marine, navy-man... Everyone in the army, every army. Died. Not from battle. They just... Fell down. The fog of their spirits made any Djinn's figure thick enough to be seen throughout the world. The one who sent out the shock-wave of death was a far darker being, known as an Ifrit... Specifically, his name was "Iblis".

If Mankind is made of clay, djinn are made of fire. Smokeless fire. Able to mold their mass-less selves around our daily lives, invisible to anything other than another djini. They give strength to those who wish for it. Silently granting our small wishes. Saving our lives, giving us second chances while the Marids and the Ifrits fight in open land, leaving scorch marks only to be healed by wandering Djinn, scared of humans finding them. Exploiting them.

But we finally did... And the world changed. Forever. Wars weren't fought with firepower, they were fought with black magic. Sending Guardian djinns to fight our wars for us, grant us daily wishes. The world went out of whack, when two races only wishing for peace collided in a giant cataclysm.

Men stole, men raped and men killed. Aided by djinn, hovering over their backs only but barely. Most wished for power, and got magic. Some wished for riches, only to have it stolen away by someone else wishing for it soon after. Some wished for women, only to have clay figurines... To be vague these days is to forfeit your willpower.

These days though, men stopped caring about money when they could merely wish food, drink and shelter into existence. Survival stopped being of the essence... Until Iblis woke up again. Ifrits got more active, Marids more defensive. The world fell under the reign of Iblis. The world was serving under the king of death. Game over. The world was dying, as long as Iblis lived...

Rules:
1. A character cannot have natural magic, it must be learned from a djini.
2. Djinn are only limited by two things-
>1- A Djini cannot absolutely protect someone from death, only influence otherwise.
>2- A Djini cannot influence free will of a human being or another Djini.
3. Djinn, when defeated are bound to the nearest object of the highest value. If the person that picks up that object summons the djini, which can be done hours later, they get 1 Wish. After which the djini evaporates.

Age: (4-70)
Gender:
Ethnicity:
Djini name: (If any)

Djini blessings: (Djinn can other than granting wishes on basis, bless whoever has them, with certain abilities. Describe them in this field)

Djinn:

Guardian Djini: A djini who is bound to a human. These djini still have free will, but are when within the are of their bound person. Any type of normal Djini will be harmed by using or being hit with black magic. Also called the "Ghul".
Free Djini: A non-bound djini, free as can be. They can still hide themselves from humans if they so wish, and can aid or harm them sporadically. Also called the "Sila"
Ifrit: An Ifrit is an evil djini, servant only to Iblis himself. An ifrit is bound to use only fire magic, and can use black magic without any harm.
Marid: The enemies of Ifrit. Not at all partial to humans, rather just the hunters of Iblis, creating a power struggle for the world. Under this iron curtain, humans can still flourish. Marids can use black magic, and water only. They are stronger than any other kind of Djinn, and generally more vicious.

Edwurdo - September 29, 2007 09:36 PM (GMT)
Name: Johnathan Whitechapel
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: British
Djini Name: Locusta
Djini Element: Poison / Venom
Djini Form:
A girl of teenage appearance, her entire body except her hair is black and feels like velvet cloth. Her hair is a deep yet bright red color and hangs down past her shoulders. Her body is covered in gold veins that glow in time with Johnathan's abnormally slow heart beat. When using any poison based abilities, these veins change color and glow a venomous shade of purple instead. Her eyes are always gold regardless of her vein color. Because her form is completely black, what clothing she wears is hard to tell, but it's confirmed she wears bracelets and anklets of some kind.
When not assiting her master in a kill by installing venom into a victim, Locusta takes the form of a dagger on Johnathan's belt

Djini blessings:
Locusta's blessing to Johnathan is an extension of his already amazing knife-throwing skills. Locusta can separate into hundreds of multiple entities and seal herself to every knife in Johnathan's possession. While like this, Johnathan can control the directions and paths his knives take when thrown. This allows him to literally stab an opponent in the back with a knife that misses by redirecting it back at his target. He can also set up a number of blades at once, then trigger them to all fly at once in different directions and patterns, thus creating some interesting knife formations, all of which he names in reference to serial killers of the past ('Nothing To Gein', 'Saucy Jack' and 'Berkowitz Madness' to name some)

~ A little overboard on detail maybe?

Is it possible to be a Djinn? Oh, and this is clearly a rip from the Bartemaus trilogy.

Samuel La Croix - September 29, 2007 11:13 PM (GMT)
What the hell is the Bartemaus trilogy? And no, Djinns are NPCs.

Also, Mercenary conclave topics = Logs. PM It to me dammit.

<For recognition... Its not Bartemaus OR One thousand and one nights. Its based on the Qur'an>

-General party-

The group thus far has met up in a Brooklyn hotel. Though some are still unacquainted, for the most part it was a nice reunion... That is, until the entire hotel came crashing down during a raid of the Ifrit and Marid. Now the question is... Do our heroes stay and fight like men against insurmountable odds in which they will most certainly be raped in the face with black magic, or run like little sissy pansies?
