Introduction

Step.

Whisper...

Step.

Hard, cold eyes follow your every step. How did you end up here?

Step.

Whisper...

It's coming back now, slowly. Flashes of a street, a run-down restaurant, an odd girl with lavender eyes and blue hair... Pain, cracking against the back of your head...and now you're here. You can feel the hostility rolling off of the stares that are trained on you. If the phrase 'looks could kill' were literal, you'd be long dead by now.

You finally halt, the guards (for that is what you must assume that they are) on either side of you melting away into the shadows. You stand, nervous and alone, before a raised platform. The back of the platform disappears into shadow. You jump slightly when a voice speaks. Ah, our little trespasser. A shiver crawls down your spine. The voice is feminine, soft, but the edge of menace concealed beneath did not escape your notice.

Tell me, dear, how did you come to find the Alliance? the voice asks, and you clear your throat nervously before responding. I, um...I'm sorry, but I don't know what you're talking about...I just got grabbed, I didn't do anything, honestly... You trail off, fidgeting with nervousness.

The voice chuckles. No one ever finds us by accident, my dear, She says, and you shudder. Fear begins to prickle at the edges of your mind. Something isn't right... I have no other choice, The voice says, a soft sigh accompanying her words. N-no other choice for what? You ask, gulping and stepping back slightly. Something bad...you can feel it...

No other choice but to do...this.

Pain, the worst pain you've ever felt before, splits through your middle. Finally, the shadows concealing the mysterious figure in front of you lift, revealing a xweetok with lavender eyes and a wicked smile.

I am Midnight. Welcome to the Alliance.

The world goes black.

In-Depth Character

Personality

Midnight is, to put it simply, utterly ruthless. She has a job, she knows what it is, and she goes through with it. Feelings do not get in the way. She has feelings, believe it or not. They're mostly the darker ones, though. Anger, hatred, and irritation are her common moods. She also has a cruel streak, and gets a sort of satisfaction out of the failure of others. It'd be best to just not cross paths with her at all.

Illness

At a young age, Midnight was diagnosed with an odd, chronic illness that causes frequent nausea, fever, or other unpleasant symptoms. She was expected to live a mostly-normal life, but with a somewhat shorter lifespan. However, her soul-catching allows her to sustain her life force indefinitely. She can live forever unless she is killed by someone or something, or contracts a fatal illness. She uses the souls that she catches partially to also help abate with her illness. It would have killed her long ago, and if she did not use the souls, it would kill her. However, souls cannot cure, only help treat. She is often afflicted by her illness, and therefore is rather sickly and frail physically.

Soul Catcher?

-"Soul catchers steal the souls off innocent people. These souls render the victim's death, and the souls are now property of the catcher. They can be used for a variety of things, including strength for the catcher, and sometimes in extreme cases, if the catcher has a long-term terminal illness, sustains their life. Soul catchers are seen as villains, and are therefore hunted down. They usually work solo, but can work in pairs or groups, but these cases are rare."-

-Soul catchers are able to see souls. They are percieved slightly differently by each individual, but one recurring theme is that of color. Souls are seen as a color, and the person seems to 'glow' that color.

-Soul Catchers are unable to see their own souls, or the souls of other Soul Catchers. This has lead to the belief that Soul Catchers have no souls of their own.

-They can live indefinitely because of the souls that they catch and use.

-Each colored soul represents the current mood of that person or the true nature of that person. The colors and traits are as follows.
Red: Angry, Hateful
Orange: Hyper, Inattentive, Confused
Yellow: Happy, Content, Bright
Green: Nervous, Anxious
Blue: Calm, Serene, Wise
Purple: Passionate, Loving
Black: Dark, corrupted. Very, very rare.
Gold: Pure. Very, very rare.

Love?

Ha. Ha ha. Funny. I am capable of loving, you know. There's just no one out there that's right for me. I mean, first of all they'd have to be a soul catcher or be immortal otherwise. And they'd have to put up with my sickness. So...I don't think so. Am I against the idea? Nope. But it's just not in my future.

Acquaintances

Rasheif: Ah, Ash. My most trusted and powerful soul catcher. I've known him a long, long time. I can't tell why he's still with the Alliance and I, to be honest. Maybe because he owes me a debt from his past, and he feels this is his way of repayment? I will never know, I think, for he is almost more twisted than I am. Almost.

Sekutso: Him. I have one word for him. Evil! An angel, or perhaps a demon - I cannot tell. He was out 'preaching' one day when I happened upon him. I don't think he likes me, as I made his crowd run away and stole all the souls of the people listening to him. But he's twisted, insane. Evil.

Aree: My youngest soul catcher, she is still relatively new to this world. I helped her along a bit - she's crazy, but who among us is not? She has a lot to learn, I know that, but I do have an odd spot of affection for this little squirt. I can only imagine what time will do to her.

Midnight would not exist without Ver, who gave her to me to begin with. Ver fulfilled my first and longest neo-dream, and for that I can never thank her enough.
Many thanks to Georgia for the soul catchers idea! The original concept belongs to her. (flameandthemeepits)
