RULES!!!
Standard RP thread, forum rules as well as these rules apply:
1. Please be reasonable with what your character can do, Normal humans cannot perform magic and cannot be unnaturally strong unless you give a detailed explanation as to WHY your character is this strong. Even then you have to at least keep in mind that they are a human in the present day.
2. You can add a piece of folklore or mythological creature you wish. Just remember to give them at least a weakness, you can make it so that weakness doesn't kill them just do not give them no weaknesses at all and make it impossible to survive them on their own.
3. You can only have about 4 main characters and an unlimited amount of npcs. Just be warned that npcs can and will die in this RP due to what an npcs role will be in this rp.
4.Referring to the rule above, while you can easily kill an npc, that does not give you the right to just go full ham on killing npcs all you want if they are important npcs. There is a time and place for killing canon fodder and there is a time and place to not kill them. :)
5.If you want to be any of the seven main humans, ask the forum mods as well as myself before making an app on it. This is due to them being a driving force in the RP and in the lore. There is only
Backstory
For as long as humanity has remembered, There have been stories, folklore you could say or myths. Humanity had feared and hunted these creatures around the world with no real edge on their side, with each danger they encounter getting worse than the others. As far as humanity was concerned, these things had their own origins and backstories that created the world around them. It remained somewhat even until the demons appeared, swallowing the world in more chaos than before. Some would help the humans for something in return, others would capture humans to make them into demons themselves. These creatures had abilities to deceive and manipulate those around them to the point where it had nearly caused the humans to go back in progress. This was until someone managed to capture a demon, Where they realized that these creatures were the only ones that had their own weakness, their power. After ten years of research and practically torture on the poor creature, the man had created 7 coloured flames, each resembling a type of trait that would help them combat these creatures. He sent out 6 and kept the 7th for himself. The seventh however, Killed the man on sight and wandered off towards the closest baby, Affina. The other six came to be the flame of hope with affina herself. They all came to help each other out and help the world straight itself out.
Affina was the only one that felt off with her flame, as all she was good at was to deceive the world into believing the creatures around them were a lie, and she was quite convincing at it. The lie extended throughout her years until she was eventually captured by demons. These demons slowly attempted to corrupt her, But due to her already possessing part of what a demon needed, they were unable to corrupt her as easily as the others, making her an immortal was easy, making her mind state that of a demon took a lot more breaking then they had originally thought, which took hundreds of years. During of which, many demons ended up dying due to the flames over the years. As time went on, and Affina eventually broke, the world began to forget the supernatural creatures even existed, only thinking of them as folklore, myths and legends. The lie that Affina created long ago had made 90% of the population forget about the supernatural and began to advance because of it.
When Affina returned to the world as a demon, she was not quite happy with what she came back to. Not only did the idea of the flames disappear, if it was mentioned, only the six flames were ever mentioned at all. This infuriated the poor girl and in a fit of rage, declared war on the human race. She did it in subtle ways, manipulating many people to cause war and genocide to attempt to disrupt the progress of them, that was, until the new flames appeared. None of them knew what to do exactly to with her, but after a long fought battle and a few of the flames lost, the mirus and the fortitudo flames both decided he best option was to seal her away in a journal, only to ever come out as a construct to guide future mirius flames in their pursuit of defending the human race. To make sure this never happened again, both of them made journals to pass down from generation to generation of flames to guide and for them to guide the next flame after them.
Now it is the present day, 2015, and it has been about 12 years since the last flame has died, will you be a human trying to make the world a better place? Are you a demon that wishes to help humans for their own selfish gain? or are you that one demon/creature that just wants to watch the world burn. The choice is up to you...
The Current flames!

The Current flames!
Since There can only be one flame at a single time, I am putting them in this spot and a bit of a description of what a flame is about.
The flames is a human that may seem normal, but has an advancement of a certain personality trait that allows them to excel at what they do best. Some may overlap in some of their jobs, but most of them always carry a huge amount of a singular trait, although this doesn't mean they have to have it all the time. These flames have no real memories of their old lives, but will be drawn to their journals like moths to a flame. Each flame is VERY much kill-able, though only one flame is not considered a flame to anyone but the flame itself and that is the Praestigio Flame, the deceit and lies flame.

Woodland, Washington State - 6:00AM
With a waking start, A young girl wakes up with a cat nearby her, having her sleeping bag next to her and a very intrigued spirit, she gets up and gets into her outfit. She gazes out at the forest around her and many different traps, both physical and mystical, and walks out back towards the town with a bit of a skip. her kitten, with gorgeous and mystifying green eyes follows the girl as she walks out with her gear on her back.
"Is it safe to assume any supernatural activity is going to show up here, mocha?" She spoke in a very hushed voice, prepared to get through the day for the time being.
"I am pretty sure there was rumors of children and young boys going missing, could be anything with that description really." Was all was heard coming from the strange feline, her ears bent back in frustration for a moment. "You really should clean up after yourself when camping, if some supernatural creature is stalking us, it could be very easy to snatch you up and eat you."
"Not true! I have you around!"Is all she blurted before walking out to this sleepy town to investigate, prepared to take on the world around her all while the cat rolls her eyes at the kid in annoyance.
Medford, Oregon - 6:00AM
As her alarm started to beep, the brown haired woman got up in a sheepish haze and looked at her feed like she always does, looking for any sign of someone. After a bit of what seems to be no luck, the woman then got herself ready for work and made breakfast. she made breakfast for two, taking the plate she used and threw its contents into the garbage, letting out a sigh before setting a new plate of pancakes with chocolate chips on the table accross from her.putting chocolate and strawberry syrup on top in hopes that someone would sit there across from her and talk about "monsters" and "demons" or whatever nonsense she used to ignore.
She would eat her food, trying seeming completely out of it and seemingly upset about everything after eating before going and brushing her teeth and grabbing her purse.
("Three months, where could she possibly be.") was a thought that came across her before bursting into tears and collapsing to the ground, crying out an inaudible name to the heavens it would seem, seeming almost at her wits end. The poor woman seemed to be there for hours when it had only been a couple of minutes before standing up and going back to her room and fixing herself up before making her way to work.
