((What i've decided to do is make it easier on everyone. I'll post everyone's character below. All you will have to do is have your posts after that in one big blurb. That way, new member's will not be confused on what is happening.))
Plot:
Twenty years have passed since Heaven's and Hell's gate have appeared. The two gates in South Africa and Japan have been responsible in the past for the appearance of the supernatural beings called contractors. Their appearance has caused widespread paranoia since the secret of there being have been exposed. Many governments and organizations across the world have groups dealing with the affairs of contractors. The world for contractors has been thrown into chaos, and many can feel the apocalyptic future ahead of them.
Character Types:
Contractors: Contractors are individuals who have gained supernatural powers due to the appearance of the Hell's and Heaven's Gates. Contractors are defects that emerge when humans are unable to become Dolls. The existence of Contractors was kept a secret from the general public by most governments around the world, but due from the past flurry of epidemics, the public knows of there existence and they are very well-known to the higher of society and in the criminal underworld.Contractors possess two other traits that give them a rather sinister reputation: the need to perform a bizarre, "payment" for the use of their powers, often coming from old human habits, and a general Machiavellian world view. The Contractors themselves usually display a lack of emotion in general. However, some Contractors exhibit at least some forms of emotion, including love, joy, and sorrow. They are described as being totally rational, and totally amoral. Each contractor is represented by a star in the sky, having a code name to go with them. When a star in the artificial sky falls, it represents a Contractor's death.
Dolls: Emotionless "mediums" created to mimic the forms of humans. Dolls can form a variety of functions; the most commonly seen in the series is their use of observer spirits. Dolls have different mediums through which they can send their observer spirits and must be in contact with this medium while observing. A Doll can also act as the perfect sleeper agent. It can be given the memories and personality of another person and assume a person's personality perfectly, mimicking all their habits, dreams, and feelings until the time is right. Some dolls can go beyond their set characteristics and become something else, although it is rare.
Moratorium: A middle between a Contractor and a Doll. Moratoria appear to be people with Contractor powers who do not require a payment as part of their power. Unlike Contractors, they do not have control of their powers, shifting into a hypnotic state of unconsciousness as they use them. Moratoria also suffer from severe mental trauma as a result of their power. The chance of a Moratorium morphing into a Contractor is near-zero, but possible.
