Current Events
Updated: 20/07/2020

**ALERT!** After a rather eventful evening at Maksim's Party, three teenagers seems to have gone missing. The doors of Vault Olympia have been breached due to a to this day unknown assailant, who sabotaged the doors locking systems, allowing demons to make entry. Thanks to the excellent defensive capabilities of the Vault's Security drones, the Attack was put to an end, and the invading monsters fled to the outside. Right now, the Doors of Vault Olympia are currently open, allowing any survivors of the fall to seek shelter within the Vault's safe halls. What Vault Security officials think of this development remains unclear as the Chief of Police and Security of Olympia refused to leave a comment. This is Rianara, of Olympia news, signing out.

The site is entering a new era as our team of mods works tirelessly on updating old and obsolete information threads and links. Over the Summer, we aim to make many changes to the forum, including writing a comprehensive beginners' guide to help new players accommodate to the combat and other rp systems in place here.

Be sure to constantly check the update thread for any changes to the boards. You can find it ->Here<-

Souka
"There's nothing left to protect in this world, is there? Let's move to the next."


The Biography


Birth Name: Soketsu Souka
Aliases: Marah Bee - Brahma
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Death/ReBirth Day: 3 / 3
Arcana: Aeon
Evoker: A gold coin
Place of Residence: Homeless (Previously Limbo)
School Year: N/A
Class: N/A

After School Club: N/A

Creation Purpose: The Revival of the Promised World

Appearance:

Souka [Done] Rkya2a

Souka's appearance is that of a 5'10, and has a lean build. His eyes range from dark brown to golden, and his hair is flat blonde. His appearance mostly consists of a color scheme of yellow and black, and he is seen to have apparel that could be deem as strange. Most of his clothes consist of graphics and patterns that only those who appreciate art could really enjoy. Though even with this bizarre appearance, he something about him makes him blend in more than stand out. He doesn't take the main stage and stands in the center of the crowd, but instead stands off to the side and out of the way entirely. When it comes to expressions, Souka is usually easy grinning, even when aloof. Though, this is just a cover for his true nature, which can make him resemble a snake with his curled smile.


Personality:

"There were three friends... One who wished to be a Hero, One who wished to unite through Art... and One that wished to change the World..."

Souka was a carefree soul who appreciated the beauty of art. Throughout his high school life, he could be seen as cheerful and welcoming. Alot of people took advantage of him because of this, but he also made two close friends because of this infectious personality of his. He was usually seen as the glue that could keep a group together. Even after Souka's untimely demise, when he was gifted with a choice to see his friends again at the cost of his own soul and body, he took it without hesitation. This goes to show the blonde cherished his friends more than one could ever guess.

Once Brahma took Souka's body, there was a considerable change of personality. This personality can be split into two halves. One being of Marah B, the Human side of Souka's soul that resided within the shell of the former body. Calm, loving, artistic, and over all endearing for others. This was the first side to surface after Souka's revival years later. However, the more dominant personality, being that of Brahma's, is more cold, calculating, manipulative, and defiant of human beliefs. Both personalities share the one body, and both have the purpose of reviving Limbo.


 
The Potential
   


Strengths:

Strength Name: Adaptive
Description: Souka is a very adaptive being. He absorbs knowledge and circumstance and will then change himself to be sure to accommodate it. Surprisingly, he is not stagnant even though he's so hooked on completing his work.

Strength Name: Basically a Zombie
Description: In all terms of the word, Souka is dead. He is little more than a puppet being controlled and used as a vessel. As such, he may seem strange and oddly unhurt from physical trauma (not soulbound etc), such as bumps, scrapes, and the like. Pain seems to not exist in his world.

Strength Name: Smooth Talker
Description: Souka is very smooth with his words. He can easily convince most into whatever he is saying, as he's very convincing and manipulative.

Strength Name: Knowledge of the Unknown
Description: Being that of another world, Souka has knowledge of Personas, Shadows, Gods, and even Demons. Things like this do not surprise him in the least, and infact seems normal to him.

Strength Name: Background Character
Description: Though he has a strange attire, Souka blends in with crowds easily. No one would bat an eyelash towards him, in all honesty.

Weaknesses:

Weakness Name: Slave of Another
Description: There is no such thing as free will for Souka. He was created specifically for a purpose, and as such he can not go against that purpose. To fulfill this purpose, it may cause him to need to work with the whims of others, even humans.

Weakness Name: Humans.. are so confusing
Description: Souka, though once a human, can no longer understand the thought process of humanity. He cannot understand when a human is illogical and goes against the best option in a situation. This takes him off guard, as he usually suspects all humans to have the same thought process.

Weakness Name: Lost Power
Description: With Limbo's power sealed away, a large portion of Brahma's power was sealed aswell. Though he still clings to this world, the connection to Brahman has been cut, and thus his main source of godly power. From this point on, he must use his own power without the aide of his corresponding deity.

Weakness Name: Splitting Personalities
Description: When Souka gave his soul to Brahman to be revived, his body was used as a vessel for a supernatural deity named Brahma. This caused two beings to reside in one, and thus caused a merge of ideals to become one, thus creating "Marah Bee". However, Souka's side has dwindled more and more, making Brahma the more controlling personality and soul pushing the corpse forward.

Weakness Name: The Three Friends...
Description: Subconsciously, Souka has the need to put three friends in the same situation he and his previous friends found themselves in. One who wants to be the Hero, One who wants to unite the world, and the last who wants to change the World... He subconsciously finds these three archetypes and puts them against each other, just like the fate of himself and his own close ones from the past. Though it has nothing to do with his final mission, it seems like a personal drive of his.

Soul Bound Weapon:


Weapon Name: Paintbrush
Weapon Description: A regular wooden Paintbrush with colored brush strokes that strike out in arcs
Weapon Image: -
Weapon Attack Type: Slash
Weapon Element: N.A




The Background
   


History:

Nothing special really takes place in Souka's past. Instead, his real history would start a couple of years before Ueitawa's Trial of Limbo. Through high school he had two main friends: One called Natashi and the other Aburai. Natashi was the son of a famous architect that helped build the future of education in Ueitawa called "Kizuna Academy". Of course this made Natashi the prince of the school, and looked up to for following in his Father's footsteps. The other friend, by the name of Aburai, was much more reserved. The complete opposite of Natashi who had much fame around his name. In the beginning, neither Natashi nor Aburai had any friends. Natashi with his dominating presence made people afraid to come close to him, and Aburai was so distant no one really noticed him.

When Souka was transferred into their classroom, all of that changed. He deliberately sat between both of them and struck up a conversation. And even though neither of them seemed totally into the conversation, when it came to the first group project the class would need to do together, Souka was the one to bring the three together for it. Needless to say through the entire semester, the three bonded more than anything. To the point the trio was inseparable. Each of them had dreams, and they all made the decision to follow these dreams and support each other as far as possible.

That was until the day Souka was walking upon Yoroshiku Bridge, heading to Natashi's in Iwaigodai. Perhaps it was an accident... Or maybe on purpose. Regardless, he was ran down, and in all meanings of the word was killed. This shocking news caused his two friends to fall apart. Aburai blamed Natashi for Souka's death and Natashi took the blame and went into refuge. To escape the whole situation and put it behind him, Aburai left Ueitawa in an attempt at running from his past.

Souka's death became a thing of the past after a few months. However, this death would soon be retconned. Souka's conscious had drifted back into the sea of souls where everything returned once their life was over. However, on his way to the inevitable sea of souls, he will was plucked from the others from the supernatural force. Apparently his dream to return to his friends took the attention of a certain deity, and as such he was given a second chance at the cost of half his soul. Thus, years later, Souka was allowed to return to Ueitawa, but his personality and memories were being corrupted by the deity that resided within his heart. He could not even remember his name, yet with a subtle push from Brahma, the persona of Marah Bee came into fruition.

For the first few months of his return, Marah went about setting the stage for Limbo's grand reveal. It all started when it came to a meeting with Natashi. Though Marah looked familiar to him, he did not think Souka was related to the blonde. He felt as if his eyes were playing tricks on him, and Marah took advantage of this. Posing as the spirit of Souka, he passed the Smiling Mask to the man, telling him it had the power to "Change the World". Though cautious, Natashi did take the mask, and thus its influence would begin to warp his views.

Next was Aburai, the teacher that once wished to be a Hero. Marah infiltrated the school as a student to get closer to the teacher, and it did work. Promising Aburai the chance that he could protect Nola like a true Hero, he took the tainted blood of Brahman and found his own power to parallel Natashi's. With the two pawns set, Marah took a seat and watched it all play out. He, however, did not suspect other humans to find the power to stand against the two. Those aligning with Philemon and Nyarlathotep took him by complete surprise, causing the entire plan to fail in the end, and forced the God into hiding.

Now his life purpose is to undo what the fools did in Ueitawa, and continue where he left off at any means necessary. Marah, or in this case Souka, has come to terms with being the antagonist of his own story. As long as the world starts over, that's okay for him.
