[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/

It was doing that to me awhile ago too, so mean :|

Rather than trying to run that time, Emizel burst the rock with some fire of his own, not a second too late either. At the rate this was going.. geez, maybe he should be really concerned what he was getting himself into. But this was important business, he had to at least try. No future President should be running from some rocks and fire... not after everything else he's been through.

"Alright.." the demon took a deep breath and pressed forward, on the look out for any other hazards along the way. Rocks are pretty easy to spot, but as he got closer to the middle...yeah, gonna have to hope he doesn't get blasted in the face with flames.
