Need a Ferry?

[Edric Vanyan]

After clearing it with Tef, i have made a char that is to be used for the Ferrymen of the River of the dead, post here if you need a ferrymen and be sure to read their concept in the River of the Dead's app.

Note: If you wish for the Ferrymen to be someone you know, it must be someone that was driven by devotion and loyalty until its death, as these spirits are loyal to their purpose for all eternity.

The ferrymen are spirits that in life showed extreme and total devotion or loyalty to a cause. Upon becoming spirits in the Netherworld they would be given the choice to continue to serve their kind in the afterlife as well by way of guides and ferrymen on the single stipulation that if they ever come across a living soul they aid the soul until that soul no longer needs help. (As determined by the ferrymen themselves.) I have only made one notable ferrymen but a ferrymen can be a char that your's used to know if they meet the criteria. If not, then its simply just someone that is random.

Or did you mean the judges?

Note, By cause this means anything from a faction, to family, to even a simple ideal

Oh joy the Judges. Ok so this is going to be a bit of a large thing so stay with me.

I took the judges from the book known as Dante's inferno but twisted it with a concept form a book called the Five People you Meet in heaven.

Here is the concept, your char is brought before these judges, if you are dead they judge you and send you on the path of suffering or of what fits you best. Meanwhile if you are living, which is the more important part they react in a bit of a different way. First of all for dead or living the judges take on the forms and personalities of the three most influential people in your life, but heres the rather interesting and mind karking twist. The people they take the shape of, can be living, and it copies them near perfectly... i say near because there are two big differences. First is their coice of words are altered from the person they take the form of, and second is how you know if the person they take the form of is still living. If the person is dead it has a black flame where its heart would be, if the person is still alive, a white flame.

As for what they do to a living person, they judge you but instead of eternal sentencing you are given a look into what will happen to you after you do die if you continue on your current path, that is where it will give your chars moments to reflect as they move through the netherworld.

Think of the River of Styx from Greek Mythology but with it's own twist on it, thanks to Mister Ferryman here.

Yes sir, do you need to know where we are going?

 

[Edric Vanyan]

[member="Razer Sin"]

Not at all, thats for the ferrymen to learn IC where the river takes the souls. (Aka they learn where your chars need be IC)

When you say the judges take the form of the people who had the most influence on the character's life does it include the future if it's been sorted out OOC?

edit: never mind I miss read the post.
