plot ── essentially, the demon slaying organization has gotten some insider info th
at the upper moon demons hold biannual meetings every summer and winter solsti
ce, where the mysterious leader is rumoured to be attending too. with this new inf
o at hand, the higher ups of the organization have sent out their elite member, the
pillars, on an extermination mission before the next meeting, which is the winter s
olstice. the challenge is to find and kill the demons before the solstice, and potent
ially uncover their leader too.
misc info ── just some additional info on how the roleplay will go along. it's very l
ikely that some pillars and upper moon demons have crossed paths in the past, but
were unable to defeat each other since their levels of power are very similar. the l
eader of the demons is more of a minor role and won't get to interact with the pilla
rs properly until later, though if they were to disguise themselves then interactions
are possible. the pillars will stay together as a group for most of the roleplay as the
y are on the mission together, but they're are allowed to do their own thing and spli
t away from the group. as for the upper moon demons,, they generally do not meet
with each other until the biannual meetings, but interactions and smaller gathering
s between two or three demons before the meeting is still possible.. the leader can
interact with the demons whenever, they just appear and disappear on a whim tbh,
though they often change appearance. that's all for now, but feel free to ask me qu
estions through pms or discord!
locations ── there aren't any set locations other than the meeting place for the up
per moon demons. the pillars will move through smaller, rural towns to more urbani
zed and populated cities in the hopes of finding the demons with their limited clues.
though the upper moon demons are always on the lookout to kill more humans,, so t
he pillars won't be the only ones hunting. the meeting place for the winter solstice i
s one of the leader's secret hideouts, located somewhere within the hida mountains
of japan. it's just a large cabin in the mountains, nothing too ominous…
demons ── though demons are quite common,, the lack of acknowledgement from
government officials means that many humans don't know about them. the only wa
y for a human to become a demon is through the blood of the leader or a higher ra
nking upper moon demon, for instance upper moon one, two or three. demons can
gain power the more of the leader's blood they have running through their system..
a demon can also gain power through eating more humans.. most demons possess a
murderous instinct to kill and devour humans, and have lost most of their memories
from their human life. demons however do still retain their original personality, exc
ept it often turns into a twisted, dark version of what it used to be. demons are ess
entially immortal,, living for thousands of years and having incredible regenerative
abilities, their only weak spot is their head. one the head is cut off, they die. howe
ver this can only be done using a special blade called the nichirin blade that demon
slayers wield. demons can't go out into the sunlight,, their bodies disintegrate as so
on as they come into contact with sunlight, so they mostly operate at night. their l
ast weakness is the wisteria flower, which is highly poisonous for demons. the uppe
r moon demons are interchangeable, if one dies for example,, the leader appoin
ts a new demon, and the upper moon demons can fight each other to obtain a hi
gher rank. lots of internal conflict man.
pillars ──the pillars are the nine strongest and most skilled combatants in the e
ntirety of the demon slayer organization, and they are regarded as the most pot
ent swordsmen among all the demon slayers. their existence literally sustains th
e entire organization.. each pillar possesses a distinct breathing style which is le
arned from a cultivator or developed through extreme training. they can use "to
tal concentration breathing" which is a tactical skill which sets pillars apart from
ordinary demon slayers. the pillars use this breathing method to generate an oxy
gen supply in their blood and strengthen their muscles. the skill gives them pow
er and stamina needed to combat demons, who are naturally superior to humans
in terms of strength and stamina.
breathing styles ── breathing styles are swordsmanship styles practiced and ta
ught by the demon slayer organization.. they are capable of allowing their users
to fight on par with demons,, and are generally used with nichirin blades to slay
demons. the breathing styles make use of specific and concentrated breath patt
erns, which increase the user's lung capacity and amount of oxygen in the blood.
this increase of oxygen allows the user to enhance their physical abilities and m
ental concentration, allowing them to fight on par with demons, whose physical
abilities surpasses that of the average human. focused breathing is also capable
of clotting wounds from severe injuries and slowing down the circulation of pois
on in the bloodstream. all known breathing styles currently taught within the de
mon slayer organization are derived from sun breathing, the first breathing style
ever created.
here are the breathing styles used in the anime which you can use,
or you can look through the
fan made breathing styles to get some ideas! but fe
el free to make your own
blood demon arts ── these are spells or techniques that higher-level demons, s
uch as the upper moon demons, can cast. the specifics of these spells are uniqu
e to each demon. every time a demon devours a human,, the demon becomes m
uch stronger, and they can eventually develop special, superhuman powers, kno
wn as blood demon arts.. the power bestowed by the blood demon arts is differ
ent from demon to demon, and in some cases, demons are able to use more tha
n one special superpower. the abilities achieved through blood demon arts can v
ary greatly. some examples of these various powers include, but are not limited
to: generation and/or manipulation of natural elements, alteration of their phy
sical body, a power up transformation, merging their own body with a pre-existi
ng object, detachment of their own flesh to create and control another entity, c
asting illusions, putting others to sleep, exerting control over a pre-existing stru
cture. these are just examples and ideas! please feel free to create and make y
our own, there are no limitations <3
