Welcome to Hell Breaks Loose, a Breedables/Changeables revolving around an apocolyptic world, where what used to be called "Sins" and "Ills" are realized to be the only things making us human. After the collapse of Utopian Earth and with the return of true humanity, the remaining humans have collapsed into factions following one of the Key beings, powerful creatures developed to return humanity to the people.

Choose a side now, any side. Fight until you cannot stand any longer....



Each character developed here is a work of art, with 100% unique lineart and coloring. But as a warning, this is an RP-intensive shop.

We all know the story of Pandora's box, how curiosity got the better of the beautiful Greecian woman, and she opened the box, releasing all the plagues of mankind.

That was only slightly accurate. The real story lives on.

The Bible had it correct- seven so-called "Sins" were released into the world. However, it was done by an old woman with a wart on her nose and a face so saggy that you woulda thought she was a basset hound. And she was not a housewife either- she was a very, very, very old scientist, the last true human.

And she did it on purpose, having mankind's very best interests at heart. She was trying to save us all, this old woman living sometime in the year 2600.


It is the year 2650. Mankind is seemingly perfect, all united under one utopia. There is no competition- all are equal, all have their lives predestined... There is no need to compete, no need to struggle, no hardship. Life was perfect.

Perfect, in the meaning lifeless.Those fools that wanted humans to become sufficient and flawless had no idea what kind of world they created. The City of Earth became a community where there was no life, no sadness... But no laughter either. Humans, without anything making them special, without anything making them strive to live or even to live and strive, were nothing more than fleshy organic robots.

The sins? The sins are what make us, what makes us more than simple complex machines doing mechnical day-to-day chores. We used to get angry, become jealous, we cry and sob and wallow in self-pity. But at the same time, the balance was complete- we could be at peace, we could be content with what we had, we could strive for more, we could become more- and we could be happy. Wrath created determination and drive. Greed created the need to compete as well as charity. Sloth enabled us to be content with ourselves and be at peace. Lust lead to love. Gluttony gave us permission to enjoy ourselves. And so on. The world that was created was perfect- all virtue. However, without the constant battle, virtue stagnated and became Fixed Programming. The very traits that made us human were not gone- they were locked away, and the key was lost.

Not only that, but development came to a grinding halt. No more innovation was needed- why would we even bother? Why compete? There is no such thing as sadness! No hunger, no thirst in the world that we knew of! Machines were our nannies- cleaning, cooking, teaching us....

What us humans didn't know was that, in fueling our perfect utopian community, we were draining the world's resources... Salinity plants that were breaking down were sucking the ocean up. Five feet of average sea level gone. The greenhouse gasses became far too much to be dealth with, average temperature up in most places! Outside the perfect utopia that was slowly breaking due to the lack of mechanics, the world was becoming inhospitable and dangerous. Whatever creatures survived were strong, fast, and still retained what made them living.



It is the year 2654. Each one of the development life-support cells was filled. There were human-like creatures inside of each one.

That old woman is not important. Her wart was not important. However, she released unto the world the Seven Sins that make us human. She reforged the key to humanity and released them into the world, using her final hours before her death.

The process was complete just minutes before her heartbeat became irregular and slowed unnaturally. Her fingers trembled- she could barely move.

Voices were heard. Seven voices.

Who are you?
Who am I?
I know that these are clothes, and that is a Transfuser, but not who I am.
Your skin is so much darker than mine...
We two are the only two here that are related. You are my half-sister, I know that.
What am I?
Who is she?


As her vision blurred and started to halt, the pain in her body grew more intense. Her heart was stopping...

Seven people suddenly clustered around her. Her keys, her creations, her Seven Sins.........

With the last effort of her dying body, she pointed softly to some files. Files that contained the secrets of their birth and their identity. And their purpose- save humanity from complete stagnation. The world was dying, and without competition, without innovation and without life, so would all people.


---------------------------------------------

It is the year 2680. The old woman had not counted on the fact that when the Keys started to unlock the humanity within people, the agression, the competition, would be jump-started again.

With dwindling resources and the perilous earth outside, the utopia collapsed- not because of the reintroduction of humanity but because nothing could last forever. Each Sin gathered a portion of followers from the last of the humans, those people that most correctly matched the Sin, and started out to survive.... And compete.

They split into seven factions, all warring against each other in an attempt to gain all for their own faction.

The Apocolypse had started. Ironically, it was the event that saved us all...

Good!

Annie slowly trudged up the stairs, her breath coming in tired gasps and the red dust swirling about caking on her sweat. Her lungs felt like they were about to burst, and the persistant ache in her legs was almost too much for her.

At the end of the stone steps, she came to what she was looking for. Slowly, she pushed the door open, as if to not disturb the occupants....


BAD!
*walks up the steps and pushes the door* hello *as if to be quiet* i was wondering if u could help me


However, casual *Runs around madly and kicks Bernard in the shins* RPing is okay,

-No godmodding! You may NOT play another person's character without their permission. No auto-hitting: you opponent is NOT in suspended animation when you post.
Godmodding: Bad...

Laughing, she struck his head with the blunt of the axe, feeling the skull crack beneath. She scowled as he cried out in pain and was flung back...


No... Godmodding or autohitting, depending on the offense, will will consequences.

Classifications of Sin
This is basically just a fancy way of saying what particular part of the Sin you exemplify. Like Pride is not only just one homogenous blob, it has many classifications: Vanity, Boastful, Over-Confidence, Over-Estimation, Insecure, etc. Thousands of ways to show "Pride."

Just because someone has a trait you want doesn't mean you can't have it! More than one person can have the same classification.

Here are some, but not all, examples:

Pride: Vanity, Boastful, Over-Confidence, Egotistical, Egocentrical, Overdone Superiorty, etc.
Wrath: Agression, Violence, Revenge, Impulse, Hatred, Prejudice, Lack of Control, etc.
Sloth: Laziness, Apathy, Uncaringness, Sadness, Blind-Eye, Stubborness, etc.
Greed: Treachery, Material Greed, Social Greed, Novelty, Miserly, Accumulation, Expense of Others, Flawed Priorities
Gluttony: Waste, Overindulgence, Over-Consumption, Thoughtless


Races

Human

Although there are no 100% pure humans left, the majority of the population are homo sapiens with a little bit of Sin blood in them. (This is due to the virus the old woman created and released, injecting human cells with a teeny bit of Sin DNA, creating stronger, faster, smarter humans without totally destroying them. The virus does not have a "MAKE VIRUS PARTS UNTIL YOU EXPLODE! coding, making it perfectly safe for even use in young children.)

Humans are the most well-rounded of all the races on average. Their resourcefullness and ability to adapt has marked them as the dominant specie. They are capable of using most of the technology availible.

Daemon
Anthros! They are animals who have accidently been injected with the Sin DNA by rogue mutant viruses. In animals, the effect leads to more severe mutations. They still retain characteristics and abilities of their specie as they evolve, like night vision, echolocation, strength, speed, and flight, depending on the original animal. They are too diverse to formally describe in one paragraph.

Sin
These are the creatures also known as the "Keys." There are currently only seven of them in total. The Sins are the incarnates of the good and bad traits that make humanity human. They are the leader of the warring factions.

The Sin were created to balance the traits equally, making them mostly bipolar between the two extremes of their traits with one dominant aspect. They are almost completely human in form, but what 56 chromosomes and are marked by their superior stats and Sin Traits. Woe to whoever challenges them to a duel.

Stages

Humans

New Recruit: This is the first stage. They are completely human in appearance, with at most only .5% Sin DNA in them. New to the faction, they will eventually gain rank, skill, and prestige among their peers.

The Proven: After a few missions, they have gained more respect from their group and have become stronger. The Sin leading their faction will give them more Sin DNA, about 5% content now. The distinguishing traits among their Sin start forming.
Wrath: The feathery wings start to form. Bones start to hollow.
Sloth: The spikes are growing in.
Greed: The cybernetics are creeping up the arm now.
Pride: Omigawd, is that a tail coming from your butt?

The Worthy: A raid on an enemy faction or other herioc deed will bring you up among the Worthy. These peoples grow steadily stronger, and the traits are even more well-formed now.
Wrath: Those are definitely wings. You have the bones of a bird! Can fly a bit.
Sloth: The armthorns are long enough so that you better be careful.
Greed: Your entire arm is covered in cybernetics.
Pride: The tail grows much longer, spikes start forming.

?????? Wow, you musta done something real great to get to here! This stage is the highest other than Sin Commander. They have everything now: Respect, power, authority... The character is transformed here with new fancy lineart and coloring.

Daemons

Critters: This is just a regular-looking animal. Nothing seemingly special... But they look at you as if they're- Oh, it's scary when they stare at you!

Changing: This is when the virus shows its effects. The transformation comes slowly. It's a grueling process, taking a toll on the mind and body. A sudden onset of conscience, sudden awareness of self.

Full Daemon: Everything's stablized now. Congrats, you are a fully Daemon now, with the intelligence and structure of a human and the abilities and selfness of the animal you once were.

Sin Traits

Greed: Cybernetics and fishy! These were created by the Doctor. They start out as just a mech attachment but start integrating with your DNA- how? Ask Dr. Hornsby. Cybernetics will raise your physical prowess with that particular part it covers. The fish stats will allow you to... Be... Fishy.

Sloth: Arm Thorns/Arm Horns! Once the Sin DNA has incorporated itself into you, it will start engineering your skeletal and muscle structure to form the large horns you can see sprouting out of the Sloth Commander's arms. These can be valuable in combat, when just a brush by or a light hug can send the sharp bits into a victim.

Wrath: Everyone loves Wings. Wrath Sin DNA will cause your bones to hollow out, your blood levels to increase, your heart to strengthen... Basically like a bird. Oh yeah. You'll also attain a nice set of wings to go along with it. Bear in mind- sprouting wings is a very painful process that's not much like those cartoons.

Pride: 'If you had a tail, what would it be' is a common personality test question. The tail that Pride Sin DNA gives you is like a cat's tail but dexterous like a monkey's. It can be used for balance, to grip things, to tickle the unwary.... Not to mention that a mean set of bone spikes like a stegasaurus is very good for attack.

Note: This is an RP FS, but it's not a contest: The prompt is just to show me that you can write creatively and advanced literately. Please keep in mind that these are RP-heavy pets, but I'm tolerant: One post every two weeks or so is the bare minimum. However, if you're going on an extended hiatus: That's fine! All's great jolly good! Just please tell me before!

ALSO HEY! LOOK HERE PLEASE! Here's something new you've probably not done before in a flatsale. I know that some people are not happy with prompts but are excellent in hands-on RP. Please PM ..le Chat du Noir.. and ask for an audition RP. In an ARP, you'll pick a character from the FS and play that character with me so that I can evaluate you. They won't be long RPs, just enough to get the feel of your writing and give you pointers. If interested, please PM me, and I'll hop on over!

Prompt Number One

People gravitate towards the factions lead by the Sins they most identify with. Tell about your character's Sin trait and maybe recall an event where it has shown dominantly. How does it affect their normal life? Is the trait a full-blown problem or just an addition of personality?


Prompt Number Two

People are still coming out of the wrecked utopias with nowhere to go and no one to go to. The Sin Factions offer substanence, protection, and a society, albeit a small one. Who are you? What is your reaction to seeing your perfect, flawless world literally crack down around you? Where do you go? How did you come across a Sin?


Prompt Number Tree

(For Daemon (anthros) only) Your transformation from an evolved creature to a Daemon isn't an easy one. The physical pain and the sudden onset of a human awareness takes a toll on the body and mind. Tell about your metamorphisis.

Desert Faction Wrath and Sloth
User ImageUser ImageUser ImageLineart and Color by ..le Chat du Noir..
Lady (#1): We're not sure who she is, but there's definitely some hidden depths in there. Her wind-blown hair, suede skirt, and willowy build gives movement to the picture, those cerulean eyes seemed haunted by something only she could know....
Man (#2): Just look at that wink! That coy look, combined with well-toned muscle and dune-tossed hair guarantees a real personality, a playboy and flirt.
Man (#3): From his goggles, he's probably one of the Sandstorm Gunners. He's a bit more on the heavier build than his flatmates, but as the Desert People go, he's rather wiry and agile. His expression is a bit more subdued and contemplative. Who knows....?


Snow Faction Sin: Lust
User ImageUser ImageUser Image
Lady (#1): This young lady is in the full uniform of a snowmobile driver. Her futuristic machine allows her to travel at high speeds for long distances over the wide snowy Badlands, through any weather. She's decked out in a silver and blue snowsuit.
Man (#2) Desc pending

Man (#3) Cool, classy, neat, nifty? There's only so many ways to say cool, and this man fits all of them. He has blue highlights in his hair and a pair of cyan shades that are perfect for cutting through a snowstorm. He's the tallest of the FSes here.

Lineart and Color by ..le Chat du Noir..
Lady (#1): She's a lovely young girl with silken blonde hair and the sweetest bright blue eyes. She's so charming and pretty and innocent that Victor Hugo would ditch Cosette and put her in Le Miz instead! Flowers on her wrists and tucked in her sash accentuate her lovely child-like looks. But are looks decieving? Is this an innocent maiden or a scheming villian with the face of an angel?
Man (#2): He probably had some ritz to his upbringing, or is he merely masquerading! Anyways, he obviously thinks himself a gentleman, prancing around in that dusty top hat, flashy red tie, and black suit. He also carries a blue flower- what a romantic!
Lioness (#4): She's a well-dressed lioness with fashionable taste. This lady has the most shining green eyes and tan-colored fur

We all have our own reasons for wanting a custom, right? Maybe it's an RP character. Maybe someone special. Maybe a really good idea, or maybe it's just that FSes are just too whatever.

Sure- customs are free-for-all!

Just a few restrictions....


-Your character may not have the distinguishing features of a Sin Faction that they do not belong to. This probably will not affect you- it's unlikely a natural human's gonna have big fl00feh wings sprouting out of their back or a pair of horns on their heads.... An exception to this rule is are the Daemons, or Anthros.
-Cosplays are their own special Custom Type and will cost your two arms and probably both legs, depending on the Cosplay.
-Items are accepted at lowest market value 'cause I can't find Teh Guide anywhere.
-Before ordering, can you please send me a sample of your RP? Not that we don't trust you, I just need to make sure you're capable.
-Please note that customs can be revoked or taken from you for black-listing offenses, SEVERE inactivity, etc.
-Your character's abilities are limited by their physical selves. Like, a kimono might look pretty, but it's as hard to walk in run as it is to pee in one. And I don't want a stainless steel bustier and short-shorts in the middle of the tundra...
-Just make sure you've read all the rules.

Okay! Past all that messy stuff.......

As for right now, we only have one lineartist and two colorists. Three people on the staff overall, four including an imaginary alter ego. ((We're hiring though!!!)) We all have RL concerns, eh, so please don't be mad if we can't have your custom there the moment you order, but it's promised that it won't be like a 3-month wait. No way, I hate those 13498302049382903480324-year waiting customs too....


PRICES:
Human Custom: 50,000 gold
Daemon (Anthro) Custom: 70,000 gold
Cosplay: PM to discuss please!

Note: Scholarships availible. I don't like the idea of passing off an extraordinary writer just because they don't have enough virtual fake money, so if you REALLY REALLY want one, prove it. Set up a quest thread? Put it in your siggy? Hang around the thread a lot and show off your RPing?

JUST NO BEGGING!


SLOTS


Okay, this is kinda complicated, so PM me if you have any questions. But since this is a Custom Lineart pet, and there's just one lineartist, please make sure that the "GO!" slots are open first.

The People

Maiko: She's the Navi of Hell Breaks Loose. Like any videogame helper character, her (sometimes unwanted) advice is where to start if you're confused. She'll guide you around the world and point you in the right direction. Lost? Just ask her for help! ((When OOC, she can be reached by PMing Hell Breaks Loose)) You'll catch her around ALL the faction encampments- and everywhere else. Maiko is the inbred daughter of Wrath and Sloth. Despite her parentage, she can be spotted running around the world at the blink of an eye, helping new recruits find their way, watering flowers, feeding the birds, and doing totally-platonic innocent little Good Samartian things. Don't ask how two Caucasian-looking Sins defied genetics and produced an Oriental daughter and you'll be all right.

The Sins
Lust Luxuria: ????

Caesar Hornsby: Blood type O. A little obsessive and easily excitable, Caesar constantly has about sixty three ideas in his head ready to spring into fruition, and it's not unusual for him to scurry away mid-conversation, or even mid-sentence, to attend to one of his projects. A bit of a shut-in, Caesar only tends to leave his submarine lair to purchase life's necessities (Cheetos, Mountain Dew, and video games). Leader of the Marine Faction.


User Image
Ray Evans: Blood type B. Wrath's half-brother and consort. A genuinely good guy, easy to like. Stronger than two bulls and as quick-witted as a rock. Hard to get truly motivated, but when he is, will follow through to the end or die trying. It's unknown how he got the disfiguring scar on his face, and he's not telling.... Co-leader of the Desert Faction.


User Image
Pearl Evans: Blood type O. Fiery-tempered and busty co-leader of the Desert Faction. Famous for her shocking and incestous marriage to her half-brother Ray (Sloth Acedia) and the other co-leader of the Desert Faction.

Call me le Chat! heart I LOVE Les Miserables. Eponine's my FAVORITE! I'm lineartist, colorist and Vegan here. I'm a good kid- I'm easy enough to like, aren't I? I play the violin and am a very academic student: if it's exam time, don't even try PM-ing me 'cause I'll be off studying. My singing is hailed by worldwide professors as the closest human voice to that of a vomiting dog, but that doesn't stop me from trying anyways! You can catch me here and there, who knows? We might be friends!

Hello, hello! I'm Avanti Lark. You're welcome to call me anything you can get me to respond to. My suitemates currently have me on "Dwarf". I'm an ancient old geezer at 20, and I'm majoring in Computer Science at a small university in Massachusetts. I do sporatic linework and color, and come up with crazy stupid ideas for roleplaying characters. Fun fact: I used to be in a troupe performing at Renaissance Faires doing historical and theatrical swordfighting and various tricks with fire. Not so fun fact: For two years no hair would grow on my left arm because I wasn't too good with flaming swords. Drop me a PM if you'd like!
