Plot

The story of D.Gray-man takes place on a fictional Earth at the end of the 19th century. The plot mostly centers around Allen Walker, a young boy who is a member of The Black Order; a secretive organization whose members are known as Exorcists. The Order's primary mission is to stop The Millennium Earl, an ancient being who intends to 'cleanse' the world by destroying all life on it.

Exorcists are specially chosen humans who are gifted with the ability to control and use Innocence, a divine substance created in ages past to combat the Earl and his minions. According to the Order's history, 108 fragments of Innocence were scattered around the world at the end of The Great Flood. Once an Innocence fragment is found to be compatible to a particular user, it can become a weapon or tool for the user to wield in battle.

In the story, Allen is introduced to more Exorcists, including Yu Kanda, Lenalee Lee, Lavi, Miranda Lotto, and Arystar Krory. Assisting Allen and the Exorcists is a team of scientists and handlers led by Komui Lee, a Supervisor of the Black Order and Lenalee's older brother. Allen's master and mentor is the enigmatic Cross Marian, one of the five Exorcist Generals of the Black Order, who at the beginning of the story has mysteriously disappeared. In the course of completing their missions, Allen and his fellow Exorcists are introduced to the other Generals: Kevin Yeegar, Froi Tiedoll (Or Froi Theodore depending on translation), Cloud Nine, and Winters Sokaro.

The Millennium Earl is aided in his plans by The Noah Clan, humans who are direct descendants of Noah himself. Each member of this clan is gifted with great power and each represents a different 'aspect' of Noah. They are identified by their gray skin and line of cross-shaped markings on their foreheads. As the story progresses, the members of the clan are revealed: Road Kamelot (The Dreams of Noah), Tyki Mikk (The Pleasures of Noah), Jasdero and Debitto - Jasdebi (The Bonds of Noah), Skin Boric (The Wrath of Noah), and Lulubell (The Lust of Noah).

The Earl commands an army of demonic creatures called Akuma to do his bidding. Akuma are created by taking advantage of someone's grief over the death of a loved one. The Earl tricks individuals into bringing their loved one back to life through a skeletal 'doll,' only to have that doll kill them and turn them into an Akuma with the soul of the dead loved one trapped inside. Akuma are able to evolve and with each new level gained, they grow more intelligent, powerful, and sadistic. Since Akuma can impersonate humans to blend in with people, exorcists are routinely assigned to track down and eliminate them. Allen is the only exorcist able to actually see past the Akuma's disguise. This is due to his 'cursed' left eye which grants him both the ability to 'sense' when an Akuma is nearby as well as see the imprisoned soul within the Akuma's body.

Who are you in all this?

You'll be a new exorcist recruited by one of the five generals, though one general has died at the hands of Noah's clan. You'll be going on missions killing the akuma and facing against the Noah clan and the Earl.

------------------
A lot will be explained in play, as your characters know little to nothing about the Earl and Akume etc.


Character Sheet:

Name:
Sex:
Age:
Appearance:
Innocence:*
Short Bio:
----------
*Innocence:

Innocence is the weapon of the exorcists. There aren't many people compatible with it, so the generals take out innocence and look for compatible people. There are two types of innocence:

Parasite: These types of innocence are a part of your own body, they are released by will and form a weapon. Parasite exorcist are known for a large appetite and are immune to the akuma virus.

Equipment: The innocence in this case is an item that has to be activated by calling out it's name or a phrase/word.

Abilities: Inncocence comes in many forms and each have unique abilities.
There are passive and active abilities. I'll tell you if yours is ok, you can unlock others later, with my permission.

Characters


My Character:

It's activated by saying "Play the Melody of Fate", when activated a mask, left side black and right side white with a smiling face painted in black/white on it. His power allows him to play certain songs which create different kinds of effects, the maximum songs/melodies he can play at the same time is one atm.
He has two songs/melodies/poems/you get the picture currently:

- 7 Swords of Heaven: An agressive melody, Seven holy swords appear floating, Konrad can manipulate these swords to his liking, but they must remain withing 7' of him.

Then he suddenly left, on a note on Konrad's bed lied a note, saying the clown's name, "Mana, the 14th".

Location: Within the fine print, read me carefully!
yeah, though I'm not going to try it, would it be possible for an Akuma to hate himself/herself and the Earl enough to help the Exorcists?

Also, can an innocence be more than one type? Like, two abilities, or an ability and an equipment?

Also: Get thee behind me, Millennium Earl!

Anyway, here's the base bio. I will modify it depending upon the second question.

Name: Nathaniel Rothschild
Sex: male
Age: 21
Appearance: He wears a Bishounin master's coat* over the breeches of the day, and has two leather crossbelts across his chest.

His hair has the long braid in the back as in the supplied picture, only his bangs are a bit more wild. His hair color is blond, and his eyes green. He has a longsword strapped to his back.
Innocence: "Heaven's Culling"
His innocence gives him the innate ability of adding a wave effect to his swings, using the adrenaline from fighting as a trigger, and sends out a kind of pulse similar to the actual attack, as well as dealing a similar type of damage (like the swordbeams from zelda.)
Short Bio: Nathaniel was recruited into the Exorcists when he narrowly escaped becoming the next victim for his mother and father, who had both become an Akuma over the mourning of his sister when she had died of illness at a young age. Sensing something wrong in the way she had acted the night of the massacre, Nathaniel thought it prudent to run away that night. He was only 8 years old at the time.

He shortly ran into Froi Tiedoll, who had been looking around the area for recent Akuma activity, and Nathaniel told him about how weird his sister had been acting. Not wanting to leave the boy behind, as he was an obvious target, Froi sought out the akuma, and found them all: sister, mother and father. They all managed to escape, however, but the look in his family's eyes is something that haunts Nathaniel to this very day, despite having to be filled in on what an Akuma was later.

Having no life of his own, Nathaniel trained hard with the Exorcists, eventually gaining an Innocence of his own and learning how to use it took a bit longer than expected.

Recently he had heard a rumor that lead him to think about trying to find and dispose of his family, both to save them and to stop the nightmares he had every night.

One day, he left, saying he was "Going to have a family reunion."

Lohti:
Kevin Yeegar died at the hands of the Noah clan in recent event.(my bad!)
What's the name of your innocence?
You wouldn't be able to tell that they were akuma, a lot of people don't know what they are.
In the rp you've just reached the black order and they inspect your innocence et cetera.

I think those were all them. Your innocence is pretty cool though.

Meteu:

Your innocence is a bit too powerfull at it's level. Your history is a bit out of order, only the black order and the earl know about innocence and akuma, the general public is being protected by ignorance. Also, a job in the museum at age 14?

I'm afraid you'll have to revise your history and innocence.

---------------
By the way:

http://manga.bleachexile.com/d-gray-man-chapter-1.html

This is the manga, read it, like 15 chapters or less and you'll understand the 'mood' and some of main characters you'll be meeting. My rp also begins after the events at manga chapter 155, the most recent one.

Location: Where I'm least expected
Name: Jacob McKenna
Sex: Male
Age: 25
Appearance: 5'11, Red hair, freckely. dresses in green. wears a bowler hat. free as well. (Looks like a human Leprechaun)
Innocence: "Me and Myself" his whole body is his innocence, he can see, hear and smell akuma within 40 feet, he can run faster than normal, have some protection against akuma bullets, and he can punch and hit akuma effectively. ( He looks like a metallic version of himself when activated.)
Short Bio: He lived in Ireland, one day a man in a black cloak came up and offered to buy him a beer. He accepted. He drank the beer and the innocence inside it melded with him, he was attacked a short while later, his fear activated the innocence, and he killed the akuma. The man in black popped up a little while after and told him to go to the Black tower, or else he would be killed by those things. He went and was recruited, he even likes killing akuma, as he thinks that things that feed off of people's grief and sorrow should die.

Good enough?

Meteu: Good enough, you should work on your verbs though.

Mysterious Old Guy: That's about it. Your innocence would give you full protection against akuma bullets though, since it's a parasite-type.

This is the main cast in chibi style:

Normal guns don't help against akuma, so using it against them is pretty useless. But the char itself is okay, except more history, how did she get into the order? Did a general found her to be compatible with innocence or what?

A scimitar won't do much good either :P
But your char could eb used for spying missions mostly instead of combat, how does that sound?

An innocence weapon or a seal is pretty much the only thing that affects akuma.
