[Freeform|Original] The Horsemen of the Apocalypse

The Horsemen of the Apocalypse

A tumble weed floats by your field of vision, revealing a horrendous scene... A destroyed town. Everything seems to be deserted. Bodies of deceased citizens litter the floor, and you can almost hear some crying in agony. There are destroyed cars in some spots, and others lodged into buildings, or crashed out side of them. In a few spots, you can see large burn marks, some of them with the permanent burn mark of a deceased citizen. In other spots, bone thin bodies can be found, their life sucked out their bodies. Some spots are covered in rubble, presumably of the previous buildings which once stood there. The smell of burning flesh and ash lingering in the air... and the smell of fast winds can be heard off in the distance. At the edge of your vision, in the distance, four silhouettes of what seems to be men on horses can be seen. They are running off, towards the horizon... away from the chaos that has been caused.

Hello! First, let me start by thanking you for reading the little introduction for a role play I wish to put on. This is an idea which I have developed for a bit, and I did not really which to put on until my descriptive writing skills had gotten a bit better... For what it is about, It takes place around the 1960's. You are the sole survivors of a catastrophic event which has taken place in your home town. All you can really tell is that it was a fairly normal day, everything was going fine. Then, everything goes from great to worse. 4 men, each of them riding horses dash into the town, and without warning start to causing havoc. People were killed by the hundreds, and buildings are burned to the ground. Its as if these creatures are hell bent on destroying the entire world... and that guess could not be any better.

Each of the four horsemen had different powers, weapons, and personalities in general.

Conquest - War -  Famine - Death

The names of the horsemen... Each of their names fitting for their powers...

Conquest is the leader of the four horsemen, having the highest strength capabilities, as well as having the ability of Telekinesis. Conquest also wields a large court bow. Famine is able to control the direction the arrow flies in, being able to hit almost any target he sees.  Conquest has a white horse, and wears a blindfold over his eyes. He has black hair, and a tan coloured skin. For his clothing, he wears a white chain mail under a dark blue robe, without a hood.

War considers himself to be the second in command for the four horsemen. He wields a large great sword, which would usually be wielded in two hands, in one hand. He has a fiery ability, being able to control fire at will, as well as being able to start them with a glance. War can set his sword ablaze with flames as well, not damaging himself, or the sword one bit. War has a stern, battle hardened face. War wears a large red chest plate, with a demonic look to it. Under that, he wears some simple black clothing. He rides a red horse, outfitted in demonic armour.

Famine Is one of the weaker horsemen in direct combat, however Famine is still a formidable foe in battle. Famine weapon of choice is a long staff with a pair of golden scales on the end, which he crafted himself. The stave's shaft is made of bone. Famine's major ability is he is able to spread Plague and Disease by a single glance. Famine rides a dark black horse, with a ghastly appearance to it. Its skin is nearly bone tight, having little to no Muscle between them, however it is still one of the faster horses out of the 4. Famine has the appearance of a very slender man. His face is almost in the shape of a rounded crystal, coming down into a point at his chin. His eyes are set far back into his head, almost as if he were a skeleton. Famine wears a simple dark purple robe, with a few bones attached to the chest.

Death is a horsemen who represents life and death. If you ever come into combat with this horseman, you would face almost certain doom. Death is able to drain the life force of his enemies, although he has to lay his hand on them. Death wields a large scythe, which extends his life when he kills someone with it. Death has a skeletal appearance, mainly because he is a human skeleton. He has some rotting parts of flesh left on his torso, which will never rot away. Death is able to animate the dead as well, using them to aid him in battle. As for what Death looks like, he wears a black robe over most of his body, which tends to jut out a bit considering he is made of bone.  Death rides a pale white skeletal horse, which has the simple appearance of a horse skeleton, however it is the fastest horse out of the 4.

Whew... now that I have those descriptions out of the way... Lets talk more about the RP in general. The goal in this RP is to survive as long as possible in an apocalyptic world. Many encounters with the Horsemen of the Apocalypse will happen, and surviving them may be more then hard... But, I think that this RP is one of the better ones I have come up with, and its fairly original. If anyone is interested, please let me know!

Yeah, thats just about it. Its meant to be in a post-apocalyptic enviroment, where you try to survive as long as you can. Also, the "Demonic Horsemen" are the four horsemen of the apocalypse, from a section of the book of revelations. If you want, you can look it up... although it is basically that these four caused the apocalyptic events throughout the planet to occur. The apocalypse also cannot be stopped unless the horsemen are hunted down and killed. Really though, its the players choice as to what they do. Its not meant to be a long role play, but it is going to be fairly interesting. Also, I screwed up in my post, meant about the 1980s. Haha... Anyways, if your interested I will probably put sign ups, up in about a week or two.

Anything goes with your character, but he may not have beyond human powers. He could be very strong, or perhaps one of the smartest people on the planet. As long as he is something that is possible in the modern day, then you can do it. (This means No super powers...)
