Splitting Souls, Make an unlikely friend: your shadow.

[Cyber Kiss]

Shadow; a dark figure or image cast on the ground or some surface by a body intercepting light. A hint or faint, indistinct image or idea; intimation.

Shadow: A dark, obedient companion. A silent laborer for your convenience.

Or are they?

Shadows have been with us since the beginning of time. Strong and without a will of their own, they have always served their masters silently and without any objection. Until now.

Recently, many reports of defiant shadows have been popping up everywhere. Shadows have been going against their masters will, doing what they please and, according to some reports, speaking. This all started when an eight-year-old reported hearing voices in her head. She was promptly sent to a psychiatric ward to be treated for schizophrenia, where they found it was not insanity speaking, but the young girl's shadow. The girl was never heard from again.

The government, confused and frightened of the recent outbreak in willful shadows, has set up special colonies for people that have been named 'Aims'. If you are to suspect someone of being an 'Aim', you are to immediately call authorities for your own safety and others. After being sent to these colonies, they will never have contact with the outside world. Many conspiracy theorists say that it is because they are swiftly sent to death.

So who are you? A 'Sunlit’ trying to live through the chaos? An 'Aim' hiding from what could be your mortal end? Or a government agent sent to end this all.

~Rules~

~Cyber Kiss and I ((XxGreen_BuggyxX)) own and rule this RP. You must listen to us((Along with the Mods, of course. They rock: Listen to them before us!))
~Each human being has 2 forms; one shadow, and one physical. They are two separate beings yet neither can live without the other.
~The sun is the Aim's shadow’s enemy because whenever the sun is out the shadow is bound to their physical master. So, even if it is a full moon out during the night the shadow is only stuck beneath their master's feet unless it is sunny out.
~The shadows can only talk to their sunlit master and other shadows by way of clairvoyant mind reading and mind speaking; it is up to their master whether the shadow would be allowed to talk to other physical Sunlits unless, of course, the shadow is an Aim.
~The setting of our story lies somewhere in between the genres of romance and science fiction with clan-like culture, weapons, and clothing. The Sunlits and the shadows live on simple villages and islands, the Sunlits doing as they pleased and the shadows living a life of servitude.
~Of course, you cannot kill another character unless you have the RPer’s consent. Only one RPC per account. No spamming, flaming, cybering, ‘txt tlkng’, excessive swearing, or being an idiot. Intelligent people only beyond this point.
~Send profiles to Cyber Kiss via PM. Please fill out the entire profile below while using your brain. We do actually read through these and we do want them to look good, so put some effort into it, please.
~Do not post here unless your profile has been accepted by Cyber Kiss and posted on this main page.
~Have a great time! We created this Role Play for your enjoyment, so enjoy it!

You can call me Suki
You can't hear us, but I call my shadow Ephanie
The 'Aims' are my friends. I feel sympathetic toward them and try to help them whenever I can.
Who cares that I’ve blown out 15 candles.
Is it a secret that I live as a bisexual female.
Keeping my life is a secret when it fortells Suki almost lost her shadow and became an Aim, but because of the close relationship with her shadow, Suki didn't loose her shadow and they are good friends. Though her shadow has feeling stronger for her own sex than the other, Suki still respects her shadow. After hearing about what was said to happen to her if her shadow did leave her and she would turn into an Aim, Suki was awestruck. How could the government just kill innocent people because their shadows wanted to be free. Suki has dropped out of school and now spends her days in a high apartment building in the city working on making escape plans for the Aims so that they won't have to face death for no reason good enough for the cause.

You can call me Victoria LaRae
My shadow has named itself Francesca
My shadow and I tend to bicker often, but know well enough what is at stake if we don't get along. Francesca has agreed to behave herself, as long as I allow her out at night.
Francesca has been acting up since I've known her. She's always been sneaking off at night, causing trouble and getting into fights with other shadows.
Who cares that I’ve blown out 16 candles.
Is it a secret that I live as a bisexual female
Keeping my life is a secret when it fortells that I have not had a good life. I grew up on the streets, wearing rags and looking for my parents, whom I cannot even remember. Francesca, of course, has only been making things worse, getting me in trouble and causing mayhem wherever I take her. When we heard about the camps and what was said to happen at them, we agreed to act like Sunlits, for both of our sakes. I, meanwhile, continue to look for my parents, knowing that I'll know them when I see them.
Keep the camera away from me!

Running, feet noiselessly hitting the ground as fast as they would take her, Victoria watched as Francesca struggled to keep up.
'Hurry!' Victoria's thoughts barked to the shadow. 'They're going to catch us!'
I don't see why we have to steal food if it gets us in so much trouble, Francesca mumbled back in Victoria's head, trying desperately to mimic Victoria's movements each time the light of a lantern caught them. Victoria did not reply. Of course, Francesca could not feel hunger, so she could not appreciate how vital it was to eat. But Francesca did know that if Victoria died, she would die, too. So she made no further suggestions as they finally tossed themselves into the bushes as the unknowing police ran by.
'You can go,' Victoria thought to Francesca, taking a triumphant bite out of the bread she had taken. 'Meet me back at the barn by dusk.'
Yes, your majesty, Francesca mumbled, her voice coated in sarcasm. She did, however, take off. To where, Victoria could only wonder.

Suki closed up and locked up her apartment room door and began decending down the stairs from her 7th story floor.
Ooohhh, look, it's Maggie from the second floor! Ephanie's voice cried in Suki's head.
Shush, Ephanie, that's gross Suki replied back.
Ephanie had always had weird tastes and Suki tried as hard as she could to accept that but it was hard when all of Ephanie's, Suki's shadow's, thoughts were her thoughts. Suki exited the apartment building and headed out of the busy city on foot. Turning a corner, Suki decided to not walk all the way around the row of bushes to get to the nearby park, but straight through them. Suki suddenly tripped and fell over, but a bush couldn't of caused that. Suki looked down to see a girl with dark hair hiding beneath the leaves. She didn't look like she had ate in a while and looked strong willed from some event that probably happened in the girl's life.
An Aim? Ephanie asked.
Maybe Suki thought.
Heeello Ephanie said getting a better look at the girl.
"Hey, are you okay? People don't normally live in bushes," Suki said, her voice ringing with a brittish tint. Her long brown hair covered over her dark pink eyes making her look like she belonged in a Japanese city, though she really didn't.

Looking up, horrified into this woman's big, pink eyes, she knew that this was the end. On her back, Victoria looked around for a way out, only to find nothing. She was trapped in this bush with a Sunlit and no way to get out.
'Where's Francesca when I need her?' Victoria wondered, knowing that her shadow was, in all likelihood too far to hear her by now.
"Please, your ladyship, I only meant too..." Victoria started, but trailed off with a realization that she had nothing to say. Trying to what? Steal food that did not belong to her? What did she really have to say for herself?
"I just needed to eat," she finally whispered. "I'm so sorry."
