<div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 20pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_u">SOULBOUND</span></strong></span></div><br/>One month ago, on December 17th, 2015, an anonymous web blogger uploaded some recent research into some old texts that supposedly detailed some very old magic. It isn't necessarily Black Magic, it's... something else. A number of people saw this material as it was uploaded, and of the people who saw it, a few decided that it was more interesting than just a fun thing to read about. But the very next link they clicked took them to a 404 page. The site was only up for a split-second after the research was posted, and nobody knows why. People only ever saw the front page, and the very first of the uploaded images and research, and after they accessed it for those few seconds, all they could ever get was a cached copy of the page, with limited information.<br/><br/>The majority of web browsers who saw it ignored it, and went on with their other web-browsing activities, never thinking anything more of it. But a few of us decided to look into it further. What we had found was that this ancient magic was a form of summoning. Summoning angels and demons, and not stopping their. It presents a completely unbreakable binding on the summoned angel or demon... if of course you have all of your runes and circles drawn properly. The more powerful the summon, the more advanced runes and circles and writing you need to know. The problem is, most of us only know the very basics. We can only summon things that are only slightly more powerful than we are.<br/><br/>But others are bound to come around. Wherever this much power lies, others are bound to use it selfishly. Some may even use them to bring harm to others. Who will stop them? That's where you come in...<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Some Basic Info</span></strong><br/><br/>So basically, the main characters have learned how to use this magic, at least in its most basic forms. They can summon angels and demons from another plane of existence to do their bidding. The spell they place on them is permanent, though it may require some form of tribute. Don't let the time-frame throw you off too much. The characters we make will just be starting out at this whole summoning business. Our opening scenes will include our first summons, and maybe even start out a little before that.<br/><br/>What we are able to summon are going to be fairly weak. That does not mean that they were once incredibly strong and/or important but miraculously had their power drained once they got summoned, it means that they were weak on the other side, and will be weak when summoned in comparison to other angels and demons. This is what happened last time I tried this and it's just not what I want to happen.<br/><br/>As to what these angels and demons look like... They will appear mostly human, with a pair of wings, a halo, horns, tail, etc. At least the ones that become important characters will be. There are some more fearsome looking angels and demons out there, but we're ignoring that for now. That means: no oddly colored skin, no glowing eyes, no spikes all over their bodies or herculean muscles. They also shouldn't be bearing heavy armor of any kind.<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Here's What I'm Going For</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://wallpeperhd.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/anime-angel.jpg)<br/>(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fNjACqJsBL0/UCk39y7fEEI/AAAAAAAAArw/gbs-snFQE3E/s400/dark_anime_angel.jpg)<br/>(https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSvTMGNustiBNu3Ngd0vpegpBkQnW3IwH-hkb-MF2cTRFDVjr6y3RYJOunG)<br/>(http://zusterschap.555forum.nl/inline/id/13/mid/29)<br/>(https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSeRF-PuU-8ZXoxtTvZuecOulUy6YtUdM69PBYrivoy74cQ52aPMQ)<br/>(https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRr7cYHlyIvOo0zqYDE12WEaGx7u50m4ym6PtQ-SDRL5gFkCIkfBA)</div></div><br/>The plotline will be pretty freeform. I won't limit it too much but I will develop a general idea of where it should be going. I am looking for a finite number of players, no more than two or three human summoners to start, preferably at least one male, and one female. And no more than two to five angels/demons to start, all in addition to my own characters. The plot, while I do have a general direction, I want to be more open and inclusive of the players' ideas. I want all of us to build the story together.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">So where does the smut go?</span></strong><br/><br/>The smut comes in quite smoothly. It's a part of the whole summoning and binding process. While the ancient magic had many methods of binding a demon or an angel, unfortunately the only way the players are aware of is by consecrating the bind with sexual interaction. The more powerful the summon, the more of a bang the sex needs to have, while the lesser ones... the ones we start out using, will require no more than a grope or a kiss.<br/><br/>The smut also comes in considering the nature of the magic itself. The variation the players will know will be sexually based. The writers of this magic believed that a sexual or romantic bond was the strongest type, and so that's what they went with. This means that, once summoned, and whether they like it or not, the summoned subjects will feel a growing sexual attraction to their summoner, and possibly even a romantic attraction. It also wouldn't be totally strange to think that some summoners may want to use their summons for sex, and after all, they are bound to obey so who better?<br/><br/>Thus brings in the dom/sub element. The summoned angels and demons are bound by the magic so tightly that most of them are incapable of disobeying. Their bodies will magically act against their will if they do. The binds cause physical pain to the ones strong enough to resist. To clarify, the summoned angels and demons may or may not be willing. They don't automatically develop a liking to their new master, that takes time and such.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">More on The Smutty Part of Summoning and Further Details About the Summoning Process</div><div class="spoiler_body">All binding spells use a series of symbols and a large circle (similar to alchemy in Fullmetal Alchemist). The circle is often two circles, forming a ring, and the symbols are painted in the band, between the lines of the ring. There's actually two different languages of summoning magic: one summons only angels while the other only summons demons (and you guessed it, later on, new languages and supernatural creatures may also become a thing). The traditional symbols like crosses and pentagrams aren't used in this form of magic, but a central symbol always appears in the summoning circles.<br/><br/>Summoning an angel or a demon also requires some kind of physical object. For an angel, a feather dipped in holy water is used, while for demons, any gold objects dipped in blood. Once bound, this object acts as a sort of... phylactery. It becomes nearly indestructible, and also cannot simply be lost. If a summoner misplaces or drops it, or if it is stolen, then it will magically appear in their pocket, or in their room... somewhere where they will find it quickly. They can however give it away, trading the summon, or destroy it themselves (and only they or a very powerful being can do so), thus freeing the summon from their bind.<br/><br/>Once summoned, the angel or demon, unless it is of level 5, will assume a mortal body. Depending on their power level, this body can be just as frail as a human's. Once their body dies, they return to the celestial planes, and are freed from the binding. When summoned, they will appear in the summoning circle. Angels always appear from a flash of light coming from the center, and demons always appear from a fiery explosion (one that, magically, does not catch anything on fire, but can leave some ashes to clean up).<br/><br/>The way the magic works, the binding is not fully completed until a specific sexual or romantic action takes place. All angels work the same way, and all demons work the same way. Until the action is performed to completion, the summon will not be fully bound, and the more temporary binding will wear off naturally in about three hours. In other words, once summoned, a summoner will have three hours to fulfill this specific sexual action on their summon, or they will become fully free.<br/><br/>For a demon, the actions are as follows:<br/>Level 1 - A plain kiss to the summon's genitals.<br/>Level 2 - A single but thorough lick of the summon's pussy, or a single good suck down to the base of their cock.<br/>Level 3 - Oral sex to the summon, and the summoner must consume some of their cum.<br/>Level 4 - Vaginal or anal sex with the summon until they reach an orgasm. Don't forget that summons at this level can change their bodies to work with this.<br/>Level 5 - Irrelevant. The sexual binding does not work at level 5.<br/><br/>For an angel, the actions are:<br/>Level 1 - A simple kiss to the lips, tongue not necessary.<br/>Level 2 - A make out session at least fifteen seconds long.<br/>Level 3 - One way or another, the summoner must cause their summon to reach an orgasm.<br/>Level 4 - Vaginal or anal sex until both the summoner and summon reach an orgasm. Don't forget that summons at this level can change their bodies to work with this.<br/>Level 5 - Irrelevant. The sexual binding does not work at level 5.<br/><br/>After that, the mind-bending magic starts to work. The summon will, often slowly, develop feelings and desires for the summon. Some try to fight it, but all ultimately succumb if they stay bound long enough.<br/></div></div><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Definitive Power Limitations</strong></span><br/><br/>Since I am weary of overpowered angel and demon characters, I am putting forth a "level" system. This is not a stats system it is simply a guide to how powerful these things should be. At the start of the rp, we should all only be using, you guessed it, level 1.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Level System</div><div class="spoiler_body">Level 1: At most, they should be as powerful as three strong men. Their reflexes however, even at level one, are phenomenal compared to humans, with some of the less skilled ones matching Bruce Lee's speed. They of course, can fly. They posses some divine or unholy magic capabilities. Angels may be able to heal wounds and use light as a weapon, while demons may breathe fire. All angels and demons are capable of short-range telepathy and mind-reading with humans, but cannot read the minds of other supernaturals. All angels and demons can also teleport to any place they can physically see. Level 1 summons cannot alter their form beyond changing their hair and eye color. When bound, level 1 angels and demons assume a mortal body that has all of the same weaknesses as a human's. They can die, but when they do, their soul is freed from the binding. In fact, death is usually the only way for them to be freed outside of their master freeing them.<br/><br/>Level 2: Level 2 angels and demons can be twice as powerful and just as fast as level 1. They can also alter their skin color, and alter their physical shape slightly to appear taller or shorter, or to have extremely long, short, large, or small body parts. They have the ability to control the minds of animals. Angels can form physical objects made of light no larger than a sword and/or shield that last as long as they focus on them. Demons can access void magics, which allow them to create matter from a finite pool of energy. When bound, level 2 angels and demons assume a mortal body that has all of the same weaknesses as a human's. They can die, but when they do, their soul is freed from the binding.<br/><br/>Level 3: Twice as powerful and twice as fast, level 3 summons are when they start to get really powerful. Physical objects made of light summoned by angels can last up to 48 hours without the caster's concentration, and they can revive nearly dead victims from both physical and mental wounds. Demons start getting access to dark magics, allowing them to counter powerful light weapons and attacks. Level 3 summons can alter their forms significantly, but cannot grow more than twice a human's size. While they are bound to a mortal form, their mortal form cannot as easily die. It can live on without food, water, or oxygen for extended periods of time, and can even revive itself if its heart or brain or other vital organs stop working. The body must be physically destroyed to be killed.<br/><br/>Level 4: Level 4 angels and demons are extremely powerful, nearly twice as strong and just as fast as level 3's. They are not affected by the forceful binding magic that normally keeps a summon behaving, but can still be broken mentally over time. Angels of this level can bring the souls of the dead back to their bodies, and can have their light objects last indefinitely. Demons gain necromancy magic, and are capable of raising the lifeless corpses of mortals to do their bidding. They can alter their forms significantly, growing up to the size of a two story house, and some even larger. Their mortal bodies are hardly mortal, and even when decimated can reform.<br/><br/>Level 5: Seraphim and Archdemons populate level 5. Even with powerful binding magic, they only remain under the summoner's control for a few minutes before breaking free through their force of will. Their power and speed are incalculable, and they seem to have an endless repertoire of magical abilities. They do not even assume a mortal form when bound.</div></div>
