This roleplay is somewhat based off (the totally awesome) novel, The Host, by Stephenie Meyer as well as parts of other sci-fi books like Westerfeld’s book, Peeps. I recommend both books, they’re excellent!!!
Now I know it looks like a lot, but there’s not a lot of information. It’ll be easy to understand, especially once we get going. Thanks.
This takes place in the modern, every day world. There’s just one thing: us, the human race has been invaded by these “unseen” beings: Souls. They’re “aliens”, for lack of a better term, almost parasitic, but they’re called Souls.
Souls-
These are “aliens” as said, for lack of a better term, but they’re nothing close to the stupid mars alien stereotype. In their natural form, they are basically white “centipedes. In order to survive, they need a host, or a body of some sort to take. They live in multiple planets, hundreds of thousands of light-years away. Earth is one of these.
They’ve started to take over the human race, slipping into the minds of people. Once a host has occupied its body, the mind of the person slowly fades away out of existence, leaving the soul with memories, thoughts and knowledge that they’d gained while they were still human.
Souls, on their own, in a hibernation, need no food or anything, so are able to travel the extreme distances. Souls can live forever, as long as they transfer hosts. If they’re in the body of their host and it dies, they die. This true death is known as the Final Death.
Souls are naturally kind, caring, and nice and honest. They don’t fight. It’s their nature to be nonviolent, even non-argumentative. They take over planets for one of a few reasons; one of the reasons they came to Earth was because they saw the horrible atrocities that humanity was doing (war, violence, murder, destroying the environment, ect.)
Seekers—are souls who’s job it is to track down the wild humans. These souls are the most “violent” of the souls. They do it for the common good of the souls. Many souls resent the job and resent the seekers. For souls, everything is done for the common good…
Humans-
Most of humanity has succumbed to the invading souls. There are a few groups of “wild” humans (humans not taken over by the souls). They are in hiding. These people have “survived” because they started to notice the strange things happening all around the world. One example being terrible people, like murderers turning themselves in and such; wars abruptly ending, ect. Humans are resentful against the souls. Humans can tell if a soul is in a body, but shining a light into a person’s eyes. In the light, a host for a soul’s body’s irises will glow silver.
OK, so you are either going to be a wild human or a soul. Please spread yourselves evenly. You’ll be able to figure out more as we go along.
Note*- soul’s names are a lot more different than human’s names. Think of Native American names and stuff. Kind of similar to that. Or if you know that some names have a root or translating/meaning. Just check out my bio if you’re confused. ;D
