[meme] Welcome to the Underworld

Welcome to the Underworld

Congratulations! You're (probably) dead! Whether or not it's canon for your string to have been cut or... you ran into some... unforeseen circumstances... You're in the Underworld. But your very generous host has offered you a second chance for life. He'll restore you to your world, all nice and proper, if you do a little something for him.

"See, I'm trying to take over the cosmos. I know, I know, it's so cliche, but that's the scheme of things. I need a little bit of help. I'm not just looking at my corner of the cosmos, I want it all. The other side of the grass, the multi-verse, call it what you want. And if you do a good job I'll also leave your little sunspot of a home untouched. Good, right? You get to live again, and you won't have to deal with me! Unless you want me to take your world... but that's a whole other story... While you work for me, you'll even get sort of a... temporary version of your body. I gotta work to put your complete package back together, but that'll keep you moving while you keep busy."

Of course, if you're really good at your job, he might just... keep you around a bit longer. He'll find a reason ;)

Or maybe you actually, willingly, decided to stick around. Sure, the Underworld's drafty, but it could be better than going home, eh?

Come on, your host isn't that bad of a guy.

I don't know, Hades woke up while I was working. Make a contract with Hades, already have one established; be new or end up stuck there for awhile because your "soul isn't ready yet." He'd ask for things like kill 100+ people or poison a city or burn down an ecosystem or get a lot of really powerful relics for him... pretty much either something awful or gaining powerful shit for him.

It's also completely possible that:

1) Your "unforeseen circumstance" was getting killed by another character that was conscripted by Hades

2) You're not dead, but Hades possesses your soul courtesy of a different deal (similar to Megara, basically)

3) You're a damn goody-two-shoes who's too stubborn to actually work for him :| Ugh what a waste of space!

4) You asked Hades to give you some special power of sorts (whatev you want) to help you achieve your task. He'll grant you that! You'll just have to do an extra task in return :|



Have fun?! \o_O/ Mingle with other conscripts, work with folks to do Awful Things(TM), and I'll try and tag around with Hades (or Pain and Panic lol). As a note for just myself: I'll match style if folk are biased to action posts or whatev. Also for my chars (Hades included) I can use RP-canon, just ask!

killing people is great, it gets him more souls and potentially more willing pawns bahahaha \o/

Georgia Lass | Dead Like Me | (Spish)

This sucks. George was already dead! What is she now?! Redead? Deader-than-dead? Seriously, what the fuck? She doesn't even, exactly, want a "second chance at life." It would cause a lot of problems if she came back living as Georgia Lass. For example: her mother freaking the fuck out. And her mom and sister have finally managed some sort of... strange way of surviving (re: not exactly living). She doesn't need that all crashing down on them.

So she would very much like to just go back to being undead, alright? This "soul" nonsense is stupid.

Which is why she's (trying) to massacre a town on some planet that's certainly not Earth. There's nothing ethical about this at all. Some (very quiet) part of her is bothered that she's even going along with this bullshit. But here she is, the good little pawn.

She's pretty damn sure he isn't even her actual boss, Lord of the Dead or not. He's not her Lord. He's a freaking Disney character!!

But there's a big problem with this whole thing.

She's not exactly adept at killing... anyone. Maybe she should have asked for some kind of... "help" in that regards. The ability to shoot laser beams or something. Except she had a feeling he'd just make her life harder even if he could grant that.

So she's got a sword she can barely use and the town that she's supposed to be killing hunting her down, courtesy of all her failed efforts thus far.

Fuck.

She's the worst at this. At least she can't die, but seriously, she could use some backup.
