Demon Realm

New information and content releases will always be followed by an announcement. To keep up-to-date with changes and additions, be sure to look them over! Site maintenance announcements can also be found inside.

Claims, account changes, archiving threads, etc can be brought up here. Likewise, if you find typos or errors - or anything, really - that might need an administrative hand, here's the place to do it.

While we try to make the forum as accessible as possible, specific inquiries that habitually crop up will be addressed here. We'll also periodically add interesting roleplay resources for optional perusal, too!

Once you have filled out your profile, this is the next step in getting your character accepted. The topic title of the application should be the character's full name. The topic description should be the character's faction and face claim. Applications can be posted as wips (please indicate 'WIP' in the title) but should be finished within seven days.

Once a character has been accepted to roleplay on the site, their application will be moved to within this board. They are all filed by their member type (human or demon). Feel free to check out the glorious beauties we have about on the forum! A full tally of characters we have in each faction can be found on the site's homepage.

The development area is the perfect place to brainstorm plots, story arcs, and events that a character wants to partake in or players wish to organize. This section can also be used for additional character info.

In character communication can take many forms. Gossip, our IC newspaper, and technology threads are only a few of the possibilities that exist. This is for unofficial in character interaction threads.

If you're looking for a specific character to fill your wanted ad, or are putting up a casting call for characters to join a clan, faction, or movement, here's the place to do it. This should not be used for plotting.

The Financial District of the City

Grootslang is similar to Nairobi, Kenya and Dakar, Senegal. The City's stock exchange can be found in Ninka Nanka. The fortified Muslim town of Harar Jugol can be found in Tikoloshe.

Found Scrawled Between the Pages of Frommer's Guide

Grootslang used to be named something else, but nobody can remember it. A day after Apartheid ended, everyone woke up one morning and found themselves calling it Grootslang, and celebrations and decorations all over the city. The leading theory for the name change is that the City is allowing Afrikaners to reintegrate with the city, after decades of walls appearing in front of their faces as they try to walk, and things like it.

Snapple Fact

DID YOU KNOW? The most common language spoken by residents and vendors in Grootslang is Swahili.

The Industrial and Manufacturing Hub of the City

Decassus is similar to Tokyo, Japan, and Athens, Greece. Justice Hall can be found in Archaíos. City Hall and all the headquarters for the city's police are found in Decassus. Justice Hall is where the trials happen for the Panopticon. Jundo is the floating Buddhist garden of Hiraizumi.

[Pending further exploration]

Snapple Fact

DID YOU KNOW? Silks available for purchase in Decassus are all made from fibers spun by a unique breed of silkworm native to the City.

Where once stood a magnificent city-within-the-City - host to a plethora of embassies, universities, and multicultural centers - now exists only ruins and rubble, all thanks to a hydra.

Denizens who refused to evacuate and somehow survived the destruction of Monai scavenge the wreckage for whatever they can salvage, but at great risk, for a floor like this should not be traversed lightly.

The Commerce District of the City

Vetala is similar to New Delhi, India, and Tehran, Iran. Nagini is the biggest and most popular shopping zone in the world. Peri holds all of Damascus, Syria, as it was before the war.

Found Scrawled Between the Pages of Frommer's Guide

Keeping stores in Nagini stocked has lead to underground tunnels beneath this floor of the City, to ensure the easy movement of goods and people. There are even more shops and areas beneath the city than there are above. Don't explore there. The underground has another name: smugglers paradise.

Snapple Fact

DID YOU KNOW? Vetala has the largest architecture variation in the City.

The Entertainment District of the City

Behemoth is similar to Venice, Italy, and St. Petersburg, Russia. Hurrock contains the Palau de la Música Catalana and Hospital de Sant Pau. Golem is the main drag where all the most expensive entertainment venues are held.

Behemoth will sell you a dream. You know what I mean. Drugs and sex work by the pound. Hurrock has the largest red light district in the city right below it. White Rabbit and Kairos both have a strong presence in Hurrock: Kairos dallying, White Rabbit taking photos of the dalliance. Match made in heaven.

Snapple Fact

DID YOU KNOW? The Disney World in Behemoth was opened in 2005.

The Residential District of the City

Ghost Town is similar to Beijing, China, and Seoul, South Korea. Tengu is the long-term residents' shopping district. Qilin holds the Forbidden City of Beijing.

Found Scrawled Between the Pages of Frommer's Guide

Everyone's gotta sleep, sinner and saint. Except for the Demons, of course. Some of the poorest areas of the City can be found here. Some of the most desperate of poverty is played out in Ghost Town. I've always liked the name. We're all ghosts here, all of us.

Snapple Fact

DID YOU KNOW? The most common street vendors in Ghost Town are ramen stands.

The Other Places In and Out of the City

Tonton Macoute, also known as the Harbor, is where most people coming in by water enter the City.

Found Scrawled Between the Pages of Frommer's Guide

There are hundreds of floors, alright. Exploration has become kind of an obsession of mine. You find things out there. You can also leave the City, go out into the wide world where no one can understand you unless you speak their native language. Sounds like a bad dream, right? But maybe it's us. Maybe this whole city is a dream.

Snapple Fact

DID YOU KNOW? The Krab Kafe in Tonton Macoute is the only known haunt of a legendary fortune-teller. She likes the whole-roasted holiday crab there.

The City's Prison

The Panopticon has a massive stockpile of anti-dominion technology, and is the largest and most secure anti-dominion technology currently available.

You hear someone's voice.

What do you want to know about the prison for? Well, alright, don't get tetchy: I'll tell you.

Panopticon is actually three prisons: Xibalba is for women, Duzakh is for men, Naraka is for people of other genders. All the cops send people down there with minimum trials. It ain't exactly a fair deal, I'll tell you that much. Mass arrests and abuses are becoming more and more common.

You be careful out there, kid. They're rounding people up.

The Place for Memories and Dreams

Here is where we store recollections of things that happened so, so long ago, but still leave you clutching your sheets and gasping for air in the morning after remembering, your demon rubbing you in wordless comfort (or sneering at your sweat).

Also encompassed in this are mere fantasies—suppositions, potentials (you know how many dimensions there are out there?), and the contents of good or bad dreams—and thus, things that won't affect the plot.

Can take place in the City, or the Mortal Realm, or the Demon Realm, or any other realm you imagine. Make it count.

The good ol' community board, a place for members to hang out and partake in all things out of character. Inside can be found games created by both staff and members, the art section, and the away board.

The perfect spot for guests to drop ads to other sites, this is the gateway portal into other dimensions! Also found inside is a thread where other sites can request to affiliate with us, and a copy of our own ad.

Old threads that are no longer relevant or active will be moved into the dusty archives, as well as any character applications that have long gone inactive. Brush off the spider webs before you enter!
