APP ME DEMONS AND DRAGONS... humans are okay too.

Feb 17, 2010 19:57

Everyone should read Tarot Café.

No, seriously. Especially if you like to read about demons, angels, hell, Belial, betrayal, sentient dragons, werewolves, vampires, immortal beings, supernatural creatures, lost love, re-incarnation, tarot readings and much else, all taking place in various time-lines of Great Britain. (Mostly London. That's where the entrance to Hell is, according to this story!)

It's a complete manwha on 7 volumes, and they're all available to read online. There's also a novel, but I'm not entirely sure where to get it other than the bookstore.

There's a few interesting characters that are very appable and would be VERY amusing to have in camp. And please please please, I'd be so happy to see ALL of them around. I'll talk about the ones I'm most interested in getting into camp.

A WORD OF WARNING: This post won't contain much information regarding the characters, because it would mean HUGE SPOILERS TO THE PLOT AND STORY. In other words, READ IT ALL if you want to know more. There are spoilers in this post, but none really extremely harmful. I'd also recommend reading the entire series before thinking of apping. There are some character issues you won't know unless I DO spoil you, so ERGH. So, here's just a few pretty pictures and short descriptions /o/

These are all counselors, aside from Aaron.




PAMELA

Pamela's the story's protagonist and main character. She's headstrong, determined and there's a lot more to her than meets the eye. She's immortal and can look into the future, as well as reading tarot cards. Pamela also has a contract with Belus to collect the beads from Belial's necklace in exchange for letting her die. She's been through a lot of hardships, and been betrayed more than once, seen her loved ones die, etc. She's also around 700 years old.

Quote: "You win!! Oh please, will you stop looking at me like that? I think your old face fits better with that imagination of yours!" -- "You're a natural at deceiving people--you don't need something like this."





BELUS

Belus is an enigmatic demon companion to Pamela. She has a contract with him, and he spends his time around her café, teasing her and being a general semi!troll, while at the same time seeming very protective of her. Belus raised Ash, and is like a teacher/father-figure to him, to then sudden leave him to spend time with Pamela. He also jumps through church roofs and is pretty fashionable... Even if he's a demon, Belus is very dorky sometimes, and comedic violence is never late to follow him. He has a penchant for dramatic appearance as well.

Quote: "Ta-da! It's a magic trick I found on the internet. Pretty amazing, huh?" -- "What contest was it? 'Which country maid can make the tastiest pie'? At that time, Pamela was 500 years old and still single."





BELIAL

Belial is the king of hell. He's responsible for all the shit that goes down in Pamela's life, and goes out of his way to make life miserable for people. He's got connections to the Original Ash, and has been there to deceive and twist people's lives around from the start of the whole mess. He's a pure and evil troll. Sometimes speaks in in a different font because he's so special.

Quote: "I hope everything looks okay... Since you destroyed my body... I had to get a new one. You've got other things to worry about. Hah, hah hah..."





ALECTO PRASHUKART

Alecto is the dragon who was the Original Ash's best friend and has known Pamela since she was a child. He's proud and has a haughty disposition towards all species not dragon. He's obsessed with the Original Ash and kidnaps the re-incarnation of him, because he's so happy he finds him alive. It's almost like he wants a bromance there. He's also pretty scandalized when it comes to Ash.

Quote: "Ashes Kayomart, if you were a woman, I'd impregnate you and use you to propagate the species, but you're not even good enough for that."




CORA

Cora is an albino divinator and tarot card reader who's acted as Ash's surrogate mother since he was four years old. Though Ash has no real affection for her, she really cares for him, and goes as far as helping him hurting Pamela. She's also got connections to Pamela that she cannot remember, and knows Belus well, since he lived with them for most of Ash's life. Cora can re-animate the dead, and is also sometimes called the "Queen of the Dead" for this reason.

Quote: "Brilliant idea. When you fall in love, that's when you will die." -- "I have a responsibility to tell you the thinks you like to hear, as well as the things you don't."





NEBIROS

Nebiros is Belial's brother. He's a demon of high rank, and he knows his way around Hell and other places. He's serious and commanding, though with a dry and dark humour, and even has a gentle side to him. Nebiros does favours for Belial at times, but he's not exactly loyal to or cares much for him. He's also holds love for Aaron, and they have their own little story at the side.

Quote: "I am Nebiros. I will guide you to Hell. Belial is there." -- "I was cursed for disobeying God. I no longer have to praise the Almighty, but I must suffer alone in darkness every night."




AARON GAWAIN (CAMPER)

Aaron is a cute and perky young man who's turns into a werewolf every full moon. He works at Pamela's café, while searching for a cure for his condition as well as his precious person, Nebiros, whom he betrayed and left even though he promised to stay with him forever. He's one of the characters that is victimized to quite a lot of comedic violence, and is just really adorable.

Quote: "I'm more afraid of ghosts than anything else in the entire world!"

---

I'm hesitant as to whether this next character is appable or not, but he DOES have a full personality and story. It's just that he's... well, dead and there's a lot of other complicated stuff. And shares a soul with the Ash I play 8D;;; I guess it wouldn't be impossible, though!





ORIGINAL ASH (Ashes Kayomart Di Akrasiel Tiamat)

The dragon Ash is a dimwitted and carefree recluse who falls in love with a human girl. Despite this, he loves himself more and wants to live a normal life, and finally die. So that's why he signs his soul off to Belial behind everyone's back and makes Belial promise to let him die. What he doesn't know is that Belial uses Ash as a mere pawn in his game that revolves around Pamela. Pamela inherits Ash's immortality.

Quote: "Ahaha, mister Alecto Prashukart. You're saying very scary things." -- "Yes, I love Pamela. But I love myself more."

...so read it. Please, because I can't tell you the story without spoiling you. There are other characters that might be appable too, if you find them. I'll gladly scan, make icons for you, p-paid accounts. App me some canon mates, please. (Especially Belus and Alecto.) ♥

EDIT: Added Alecto's dragon form~

pimping, app them now
