No Reprieve

No Reprieve

What would happen if the Rapture occurred tomorrow? When exactly would the Tribulation begin? Who is the Arch-Angel, Anti-Christ? Would Satan take control, or would God crush all those who were left behind?

After the Rapture, the Tribulation period begins, bringing about seven years of chaos, disorder, and death. The Anti-Christ and the Arch-Angel now roam the land, occasionally clashing with each other in brutal encounters of brute force. A small group of teenagers has come together to try solving the mystery of who the Anti-Christ and Arch-Angel really are. What they find is heart-wrenching, earth-shattering, even breathtaking. But the decisions shall be left solely to you, the writers.

The story is set in the small town of Chissenger Falls, once the glory of the surrounding area, now all but a pile of rubble. The characters have all known each other for over a year but there may be some animosity between a couple of them. Since there are five people, things never even out, leaving someone to break the tie, which could cause some trouble. The group first meets up at an old abandoned convenience store, each surprised that the others survived the events that had recently occurred. The building had evidently been burned in one of the many fires that had been set during all the disorder that went on and was still going on. But instead of being obtrusive the smoky smell had been comforting. The fate of humanity lay in their hands, even as they sat in that store, pondering what to do next…

Character BioBlocks

Name: Braedon Adarith
Age: 18
Gender: Male

Description: Braedon is average height, but is jam-packed with muscle. He averages out to about six foot one, and weighs near 150lbs. He has dark hair and often wears a bandana to keep his locks out of his face. His hair is considerably long, but somehow he always manages to get it into great spikes, sometimes letting it hang loose. Breadon has brilliant hazel eyes that shine phenomenally in bright light.

He is a huge fan of black, and usually wears pants instead of shorts. His shirts are most likely blank or have some kind of emblem on them. He loves his spiked wristbands and his odd dragon necklace. Most would call him emo or goth at first glance but there's something deeper to his darkness.

History: As a child Braedon was badly beaten and tortured by his father, and at the age of fourteen he finally realized that he could stand up for himself. After an intense fistfight with his dad, Braedon ran away from home and started living on the streets. After three years Braedon succeeded in hunting down his mother who had seemingly disappeared years earlier. After all the trauma in his life, when things were finally starting to get better, the Rapture took place in the dead of night and stole his mother away from him as the morphine and heroin had done years ago. During the night of the Rapture, Braedon had been called up, but for some reason he could not enter the holy lands of Heaven, and soon the chance had come and passed. During this odd little visit, he acquired strange markings on his face, much like tattoos, and just as permanent. These markings seem to be the source of his strange powers...

Personality: Braedon is a strong and considerate person who would rather die for his friends than kill his enemies. In fact, until the Tribulation began, he had no enemies. He is kindhearted but refuses to hold back his emotions and thoughts and feelings. He appreciates the trivial things and questions the more important larger things. He's a very greatful person and finds it very peculiar that he did not gain enterance into Heaven for he was a true-hearted Christian by blood and by passion.

Weakness: Braedon is very quick to anger and takes a while to calm, but if he has a close friend around they help him cope. Unfortunately for all who choose to cross him, his two closest friends were called up and he did not get a chance to say goodbye. Adding to that regret there is a great dose of guilt because the night before the Rapture they had gotten in a very serious, very stupid arguement which ended in Braedon pushing both of them and speeding away in his car.

Weapons: In a war some centuries ago his great grandfather had found a very nice set of dual daggers. Crafted with the purest metal they gleam and glint in even the dullest of light. One of the pair is double-bladed and the other is a hunting knife of sorts. Both balance out perfectly and weigh only ounces. Their sheaths are sturdy leather with intricate designs etched into their surface.

Powers: Braedon has become a good amount more powerful than he previously was, and he has acquired the ability to spot evil on sight, which is handy now that a number of demons are roaming the towns and cities and countrysides in human form. His senses have developed into a cat-like precision and he is able to climb things much easier then he had ever dreamed. Also, because of his muscle and catlike abilities, he can "fly" for short distances.

Other: Braedon is a dark, brooding boy who enjoys suicidal poems and scary movies, and keeps a great love of Poe stashed away..."Ah, distinctly I remember, it was in the bleak December, and each seperate dying ember, wrought its ghost upon the floor...Eagerly I wished the morrow, vainly I had sought to borrow, from my books surcease of sorrow, sorrow for the lost Lenore, for the fair and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore, nameless here, for evermore..."


Name: Andree Zenthee
Age: 17
Gender: girl

Description: Andree is short for a girl, around 5'3", and she is very fit for her age,
sometimes seen as a bit too skinny. She weighs 110 lbs. She has very dark brown, relaxed
hair, and doe eyes that if you look close enough, may seem a vibrant purple. She likes to
keep her hair in a low ponytail to show her aggressive side.

She has a boho, grundgy style when it comes to clothes. She wears several bangly
bracelets on her wrists, and likes to wear baggy pants. She has several earrings around
her ears, and wears a leather necklace she recieved a while ago from a long dead uncle.

History: Andree was seen as a cheerful, chubby girl before she started to become
concerned about her body. Ever since, Andree had a feeling that she was never good
enough. She would always be second prettiest, second smartest, but never the best. She
felt like she was getting a feeling that her parents saw the same thing in her, her
sister was always seen as top notch, while she was the underdog. As she grew older, she
had several shortlasting friends, who suddenly got up and left her in her situation.
After that, she lost trust in all her friends, and is very wary to people she believes
know her too well. She was seen as a loner around high school, until the Rapture took all
that away. She saw her sister go up to where people say "heaven" is. Andree doesnt believe
in any god or religion after she feels that God gave up on her. She sees herself as the
dregs of society since she stayed behind on earth while mostly everyone else was taken
above or below.

Personality: Andree has a fierce personality. She is always very passionate over
sometihng, and doesnt see much in friends unless they prove themselves to her. She can be
seen as very sarcastic, and sometimes even cruel by her language. She looks beyond the
words of what someone says, and her eyes always catch the details.

Weakness: Whenever she feels someone wants so hard to be her friend, she gets scared and
tries to isolate herself. She hates being lonely though, and seeks perfection in friends.
She regrets many of the decisions she makes, and is overall doubtful over her future and
who she is.

Weapons: Andree loves her roughly made bow and feathery arrows she stole from the town's
museum. She has much skill in distant combat, but when she comes in close combat, she was trained for 5 years in taekwondo.

Powers: She has sharp eyes, and is very fast. She can swim for long distances, and can
make herself so hidden that she could almost be seen as invisible.

Others: Andree loves hard rock, and has a beautiful voice when she ever dares to sing.
Before the Rapture, she dreamed of getting away and becoming a singer, but now she fights
for survival. She loves hearing of revenge and second chances.


Name: Terrian “Terry” Monarch
Age: 18
Gender: Female

Description: Terry appears tall standing at about 5’ 8” most of which is attributed by
her long legs. She is slender and fit at about 125 lbs. Her almost unnaturally black hair
extends to just below her shoulders and a bit of angled bangs is almost always falling in
front of her vibrant green eyes.

Terry’s sense of style centers around one thing in particular: what she’s not supposed to
wear. She adapts it to every situation, always wearing what is uncalled for, no matter the
occasion.

History: Terry belonged to a very religious family and even accepted Christ herself as a
young girl. But at the age of 13, she became exceedingly rebellious refusing to follow
her parent’s wishes for her life. Everything she did became about doing what they
wouldn’t approve of. Her friends, her clothes, her attitude, her activities, even her
name (her mother insists on calling her Terrian and hates her calling herself Terry).

The moment before the Rapture, she had locked herself in her room and turned up her
“devil” music, as her mother called it, up extremely loud after one of their usual
fights. Her mother had been cooking dinner, while her younger brother and father watched
TV in the living room. Terry didn’t even notice the Rapture, but was suddenly startled by
the heat that began to fill her room. The fire from the stove had sent the entire house on
fire. Terry managed to escape with a few of her belongings, with only a few bad burns on
the inside of her arms with she always covers up with her fingerless black gloves. At
first, Terry assumed her family had been killed in the fire that completely destroyed her
home; she then realized what had really happened after discovering the unordinary
destruction throughout the town and speaking to the few frightened residents left behind
who would talk to her.

Personality: Terry is extremely outspoken, saying what is on her mind without worrying
about the consequences. She never trusted easily, but when she does she will do anything
for a friend. Although now, after the Rapture, it takes even more to gain her trust then
before. She has now become very bitter and intense.

Weakness: She has a few, as everyone does. One of which is authority and another is her
younger brother. He was the only one of her family that understood and, at least to her,
seemed to care. She doesn’t speak of him even as he crowds her mind, and is pained with
very memory and thought.

Weapons: She picked up a crude knife after the Rapture. She almost has a hidden knife
which she carries with her always. It was given to her by her brother and is beautifully
made with wonderful silver engravings. She also is a pretty good shot with just about any
gun she can get her hands on.

Powers: She has gained a keen sense of hearing and can hear just about anything even a
whisper almost mile away. She also, with great concentration and a little more practice,
can separate her mind from body during which she can float high seeing herself and miles
around without leaving her position. She has also become tremendously alert to her
surroundings.

Other: Just after the Rapture, she joined up with her former friends who were also left
behind not surprisingly. Although after realizing her friends aren’t worth anything and
really don’t care about her at all, she has taken to wandering the streets alone.


Name: Chris Limkee
Age: 18
Gender: Male

Description: Chris is six foot even, and is of average build. His broad shoulders give
the apperance of a greater amount of muscle than he really has. He has blue eyes and red
hair, crew cut style. He has size twelve feet and trips over them regularly. You usually
see him sporting an Air Force Falcons cap, pulled low over his eyes.

Personality: His father was an ex-marine so a lot of his personalities resemble that of a
marine. Strict and punctual. On occasion he does enjoy some verbal jousting, but
otherwise acts like any normal 18 year old man. He is not very good with the ladies, but
makes friends like nobodies business.

Weakness: Girls. As soon as one appears, his tongue turns to jelly and he has lots of
trouble speaking.

Weapons: While on a mission trip to Japan, he picked up an authentic samurai katana.
Ever since this purchase, he has preacticed day in and day out, and can now slice through
alomst any nonmetal object.

Powers: Through his extensive training in the ninja ways, he is able to disappear into
the shadows, making himself hidden to the untrained eye. He also learned how to move
silently, without ever being detected. Leaping from rooftop to rooftop is a skill that
ust came naturally to him.

Other: A down to heart Catholic, who can occasionally take a few religious jokes. Unlike
most kids his age, he is not afraid to stand up to those who wish to do harm to others. A
true hero.


Name: Eli Tirzah
Age: 18
Gender: Male

Description: Eli is physically unimpressive, standing about five feet six inches, with
short, curly black hair and glasses.

Personality: Prior to the Rapture, Eli was a very different kind of person—quiet,
brilliant, artistic and lonely. He was a little nerdy, and did not have many friends,
although the few he did have found him to be very friendly and kind. When the Rapture
occurred, he and his entire family were left below, a horribly traumatic experience.
Although he at first thought he had been unfairly passed over simply because he was
Jewish, he was later plagued by a nagging thought that the real reason for being left
below was that he was not a good enough person. This revelation left him overwhelmed with
self-doubt and self-loathing, and, after witnessing the death of his little brother and
grandfather and the disappearance, he resolved to fight until his last breath against the
injustice and evil still in the world. Hence, he left New York with several of his
schoolmates and struck out on the road, eventually heading to Chissenger Falls.

Weakness: Eli has two major weaknesses, one of which is physical and the other mental.
Physically, without his glasses he is almost blind, and it’s not that difficult for them
to fall off. Mentally, his greatest weakness is the piercing insecurity that he is simply
not a good human being. Because of this, Eli has a burning desire to do as much good as he
can, often acting impulsively and with no thought for himself. He also frequently becomes
depressed about what he perceives as unfairness in the universe, blaming not humanity or
himself, but God for causing the misery of the Rapture by not forgiving everybody.

Weapons: In New York City, the Rapture was murderously devastating, and Eli and his few
friends barely managed to escape with their lives, much less find any weapons. Since
then, many of the weapons Eli picks up, he has a tendency to throw away and leave behind
when they become too much of a burden. The only weapons he ever holds onto are a thick
iron pipe, about two feet long, with a large clublike end, and a policeman’s gun.

Powers: Currently, Eli has none. However, that is not to say he may eventually develop
some.

Other: Despite being intelligent and personable, Eli’s subtle neuroses have always
impeded his social life. Hence, though he means well, he often fails to interact
effectively with people he has just met, and first impressions of him are rarely
flattering.
