Chaotic Seed
Before the world we knew there existed another, millions of years in to the past back when Earth was still a hot mess covered with searing stone and pools of Lava another species existed, formed in such a way considered unbelievable by most, a race of 'Demons' lived here. Their species were very sensitive to magic and were able to use the arcane and cosmic arts to live comfortable lives, until a dark force began to spread, feeding on the traces of magic in the air and being attracted to the magic wielding creatures. This force was named Deep Corruption and spread in the form of a black tar that produces an aura of black smoke that held tightly to the corruption with the exception of small areas where the aura would rise to the air and fade slowly in to nothing. The corruption could hold the form of what ever it touched, it's rumored that it's 'tar' like texture is the result of taking the form of thick molten lava, when the first Demon's corpse was felt by the corruption the Demon rose once again armed with a vicious attitude, a resistance to magic and hellish strength. The creature was fearsome and consumed the bodies of it's victims adding to itself, making it bigger and stronger, with the left over pieces it would craft weaker and smaller creatures with just as much hunger for destruction. As the corruption spread more and more creatures were formed, some even snow balling to the size of ten floor buildings. Twelve skilled warrior Demons each gifted with great power fought back the corruption tearing apart the creatures, removing their flesh and bone so that they may no more hold the form of a living being, they allowed four creatures to live so that they might suffer an empty and caged existence, The Demons then forced the corruption in to four deep pits rumored to lead to the Earths very core, at these four points the Demon warriors sealed the corruption away in trios, using the artifacts that allowed them to direct their great powers to create a magic gate and then ripping their very hearts from their bodies to fuel the power hungry gates. Sadly for the Demon race the damage was done, the race died faster than it could reproduce and eventually they became extinct.
Skip forward a few hundred million years and you'll find the stories of many unfortunate souls, slaves to cruel scientists working to unlock the ability to tap in to magic for humans, their experiments are more like torture as they work through every aspect to bring forth this magic. In their past they found evidence of a human able to use very, very weak magic during moments of extreme pain or anger, the scientists took great pride in working on torturing people and expecting great results but their results were rare and usually a lot weaker than that of the recorded human. Archaeological, the explorers of the Earth's physical history stumble upon ruins of the old Demon civilization and eventually one of the four pits, those in charge of the project to establish a connection between humans and magic took great interested in this pit which had three beautiful artifacts hovering over the pit directing an aura that covered the entrance to the pit with a transparent glow, to each side of the artifacts are three alters and mounted on each is a beating heart shaped object each with unique visual characteristics. They can be seen pumping out the aura that the Artifacts are directing in to the cap over the pits entrance, every few beats a stray aura cloud will float away than take hold of an object such as a rock or dirt, hold it in the air for awhile then disappear.
These objects would kill anyone who touched them, when they were taken for research they were quickly named 'Chaotic Seeds' for their ability to give a being power and use of magic, but also for the violent ways they would turn people inside out or reconfigure their structure until the victim died. The scientist became infatuated with the idea of finding a host able to hold the heart that was three times larger than a normal humans, with in their chest. Their hope would be that a host would contain the physical secrets to how we would be able to feel and use magic. Sadly they did not know that removing the artifacts and hearts would result in the Deep Corruption starting it's decade long climb to freedom. Within that decade two hosts were found, yet each appeared to be psychologically damaged and they refused communication with their captors and would lash out in violence using their powers to kill any and all who attempted to enter their holding rooms, the hosts could never hope for escape with out the artifacts to help direct and fine tune their powers. Eight years after the opening of the pit, the underground facility housing these experiments were at risk of being found, because of this the entire inside of the facility was flooded with flames burning near everything and everyone to ashes, the hosts survived by using their powers to protect their hearts which rebuilt their bodies slowly when the flames stopped.
Skip forward thirty two years to today and one of the doors sealing a host away finally weakens enough to be broken open due to a mixture of decay, fire damage and being worn down by the host. The world outside is a desolate and terrible place, survivors are few in number and the worlds dominate species takes the form of corruption covered bundles of corpses stronger and smarter than their ancestors. The world is home to the wolves but two hungry tigers have just been unleashed and uncaged, the feeding frenzy is about to commence.
The World
Over the years Deep Corruption has changed and evolved in many ways, three of the four pits are open however the Deep Corruption is on the march racing to open the last. Towns and Cities are entirely over run and most buildings are covered partly or entirely with corruption, corrupt creatures are able to move and climb faster on corrupt terrain and are also able to rebuild themselves slowly while on corruption. Corruption isn't drawn to trees or plant life in particular and usually consume and cover trees in order to construct walls or giant golem like corruption creatures. Guns are useless against the creatures, explosives are very good at halting and slowing the creatures and even destroying them as long as the explosive makes it through enough tar to get close to the corpse parts inside of the creature before it explodes bladed and heavy melee weapons have been proven to be the most useful as long as the attacker is able to put enough force behind their attack to sever a limb or turn the bones to dust and rip the flesh apart, the force of a well swung melee weapon can often cause bones and flesh to break with out exposing it. Most groups of survivors make a living in deep forest land and are usually armed with explosives, early alarm systems and a variety of melee weapons. They prize fruit and vegetable seeds and anything to do with agriculture, groups hail plant life as their guardians some even claim that it fights back the corruption which simply hasn't been proven, yet?
Deep Corruption
Corruption comes in many forms, here I'll provide you information of the very basic species, any more advanced species will be added after the first time we see them, I'll send you a private message if you're in a position to meet a new species, as soon as we see it I'll list their details here so if you're sent a PM about noticing a new species I'll give you a broad outline of there attacks and style, however please do not kill them(unless you're able to do so quickly with out struggle.) until you've read about them so that you don't start a major battle only to find you have no chance of winning or that you killed it with out it showing it's true potential even though it had the position and means to do so. Before I list the species I should tell you that your hearts grant you the ability to analyse species and their capabilities as a kind of sixth sense, the analyse gives you similar information to that found in the list here. Some of the information can be collected through just general observation as well(E.g. It's a no brainier that a species with blades for arms will fight primarily up close with it's blades.) this knowledge(Observation) will be the extent of mortals who haven't seen species in action before.
Crawlers
This species is pretty much anything with missing limbs, due to being incomplete they're usually weak and slow but they're massive in number. They should be considered more of an annoyance rather then a threat, they only because dangers when around bigger enemies who tend to throw them to put them in to positions that allow them to hold and limit your movement. Their weapons are usually just their fists, feet or mouths, try not to get bitten. Like all Corrupt species their bites will introduce corruption in to your body which attempts to block your blood flow, this can cause pain and in drastic cases, will slow your movement and cause you to become light headed. If you don't have a blood system or body like a mortals then the corruption will try to find another way to limit you, it takes roughly a minute to three minutes for your heart to clear away any issues caused by this effect.
Destroying Crawlers is quite easy, for minion controller they can be quite useful for harvesting resources. Larger creatures who're missing limbs will usually gather Crawlers and use them to replace body parts if they get the chance.
Surges
Surges are small in size usually build up for a torso and small bones for their limbs, they attach a sharp piece of metal or glass to their right arm and crystallize the corruption around it giving it a bladed form. These creatures are fast and territorial when it comes to other Surges or none corruption beings, they are weak when alone but in large numbers can become a threat. They're based on speed and slashing attacks but have very little defense, Surges rarely pack together unless corpses are many in number, they often collect food in piles to attract wild animals or pets who've managed to survive.
Mind Set
Ok so I want to quickly give you a broad mind set of the RP so you know what kind of, frame of mind to get your characters in to. You're a tortured soul who's expected nothing out of life expect death, the concept of the heart and corruption are things you still don't understand very well however you're able to acknowledge that you're hosts because you share a similar sadistic side to that of the warrior demons who owned the hearts originality. You'll have an instinctive hatred towards corruption. The outside world you always dreamed off as a peaceful, lovely place where you can live a much better life however you will soon realize that is not the case, how you react to this is up to you, but there is that sense of disappointment there for all of us. Despite your twisted and possibly sick nature you'll be driven to try and re-create the life you dreamed of, even if you are too mentally unstable to live in it. This 'peaceful world' picture was something painted in your minds by those who tortured you, they convinced you if you survived and didn't commit suicide like the others, you'd eventually see this world and live there in happiness. Later on in the RP (Even as early as after killing the first enemy.) you can obviously change this world view, these are your characters after all, however we must have these beginning similarities because, we'll we've all been treated the same way and brainwashed in this same way. Although this world view is an important part of your mind set, it doesn't have to be the dominate thing in your characters mind. I know my character will consider one of his personal problems far worse then the fact that his paradise doesn't exist. Try to think depressing, gloomy and dark HOWEVER this isn't dominate, it's merely a key aspect, your character could still be a happy charismatic blood loving freak, but when describing and thinking about your surroundings in places like towns and cities, try to think dark.
With the treatment our characters have suffered, there is the obvious fall backs, so please try to work in some type of social issues or thinking/empathy issues unless you have a good reason in your back story not to have them. E.g. your character used to be a moral heavy modern day religious type so they still have a strong sense of empathy for others due to their teachings that claimed this. Thank you.
Demon Hearts
We each get four of these, they act as an infinite source of power for us and grant us our abilities and powers. Certain powers sometimes come at a cost depending on how it works, for example my character no longer has a human form due to his power. Each heart has an artifact, these artifact give you the equivalent to centuries of training in the use of your power but only in the use, not the knowledge; it s up to your to figure out what exactly you can and cannot do and how to use your abilities effectively. The hearts have a 'true nature' form available to those who wield them, these are going to be referred to as 'Beast Forms'(Unless someone comes up with a better name.) and are our primary fighting forms, Beast forms work in stages of percentage that our hearts force us to yell out when it increase the percentage, they do this as an aspect we've gained from their previous owners who were at risk of losing control of their minds when going further in to their beast forms, as a safety precaution they would shout out the percentage of beast form they were taking on. As successors to their power and people able to use these forms but with multiple hearts we'll be taking this a step further. The way Beast form work is that you have 100% to achieve, as you work your way to 100% your appearance changes and your figure reforms your heart grows as well thus requiring a bigger body to hold it or an alternative form of holding it as well as increasing your overall power drastically with each little bit it gets bigger. As you delve more and more in to this form you'll be exposed to the nature of both the Demons who owned the hearts and the Beast, this can cause you to go out of control and become a pure monster however once you lose control you cannot go further up in percentage, so early on there will be levels of percentage that will be impossible to reach unless you begin training it. Each heart's beast form needs separate training to withstand more of it, when you've managed at least 10% of two hearts you're able to begin training in 'Hybrid Beast Form' which allows for 100% of mixed beast, E.G. You turn 25% of one beast form and 10% of another, in total you're at 35% Beast form, in this instance we're to shout out first the overall percentage then the percentages of each heart, to clarify; my character will have a heart he names 'Threaded Heart' so he'll shout '35%! 25% THREADED HEART! 10% Other'.
Very later on, once the players are able to use each heart at 100% they are able to learn an ability called 'Over Burst' which allows them to surpass 100% to a maximum of 400% however to use more then 1 beasts form while at 100% with at least one of them already you need to ensure your hearts are all beating at the same rate, this usually involves grabbing and constricting your own heart with your hand while you are your natural self.(You cannot be using any sub-forms of your body if your powers allow you to change or constrict your shape.) The beast with which you base your beast forms can be inspired by mythology and real animals, just try to mix in a demonic, darkish theme with them if you're able too, try not to make them too complicated so that you can merge the beasts with out have to explain to many details.(I'm not asking you to restrict your imagination, just try to take in to consideration that others have to read your post so try not to spend an entire paragraph on just the look of your ultimate form.)

Age: (Your choice, anything over 12 is acceptable)
Gender:
1st Heart: (This is the name of your heart, usually it's just '[Prefix] Heart', but the prefix can be more then one word, it's best to use something that can describe your Hearts theme or style in one word but try not to be too vague. E.G. if your heart is based on shadows and darkness(Lightless Darkness, not the 'death and evil' darkness.) try not to call it 'Dark Heart' for obvious reasons. Shadow Heart would be far better.)
Power:
(List the abilities and powers you're granted from the heart here.)
Appearance:
(What the heart looks like, what it pumps out looks like, auras it produces, ect.)
Strengths:
(Listed bellow will be some base strengths and weaknesses everyone has from just having a Chaotic Seed, however in certain cases people will gain certain specific strengths and weaknesses, these sections are for that. For example: Frost resistance, heat resistance, weakness to frost or fire, basically anything you gain as a passive bonus or debuff can go in these sections.)
Weaknesses:
Artifact:
(Add a few details about it's look and any other aspects about it, if it's a weapon add how effective it is, ect.)
Beast Form:
(Please note that beast form doesn't have to be based off an animal or a beast specifically, you can use things such as angels, demons, hell even elves as your motivation, however as the beast you choose must have some darker, sadistic aspect behind them, You can craft specific back stories for your beast if you wish, for Example: You could go with a race of demonic elves that enjoyed murdering and had pitch black skin. Though try to be a bit more creative when you explain their back story, if at all. The back story isn't exactly important unless you intend to use them as a talking topic in the actual RP.)

Are they up close and personal or heavily based on support and/or crowd control, ect. Feel free to provide an example post of your character in action. (I'll be doing one myself if you want to wait for that.))
Base Bonuses and Weaknesses
I'll start with the Weaknesses: For us our hearts and artifacts become huge weak points, if the heart is destroyed, you'll die. If the artifact is broken or destroyed it is rendered useless and you're unable to use your powers accurately and more specifically, to use even the most minor of your skills takes years of training, this is mainly due to two reasons, 1. Humans aren't naturally attuned to magic and there for it's a very hard thing for them to grasp and use properly, 2. The heart produces so much power that forming it in to specific attacks is extremely hard. Another weakness is the risk of losing control when in beast form, when in a percentage of beast form you cannot control your heart becomes heavily strained and damaged weakening your powers for as long as a week other effects of this are also broken limbs, it can take as long as a week to heal and be at full power again.
Bonuses include a large increase in strength allowing the players to easily move cars(Lifting them is a strained challenge.) and dent steel with out harming themselves. They're able to regenerate any part of their body as long as their heart is still functioning(This process is really slow and can sometimes result in small amounts of memory loss.), they gain a sixth sense that allows them to sense powerful corruption creatures and analyze the creatures with accurate intuition and finally their other senses are greatly increased.
NOTE: I wrote a lot of this while tired, It needs to be re-read and edited in my opinion so if anything doesn't match up or doesn't make sense don't worry, I will get to the issues in time. Thank you.

(What the heart looks like, what it pumps out looks like, auras it produces, ect.)
Strengths:
(Listed bellow will be some base strengths and weaknesses everyone has from just having a Chaotic Seed, however in certain cases people will gain certain specific strengths and weaknesses, these sections are for that. For example: Frost resistance, heat resistance, weakness to frost or fire, basically anything you gain as a passive bonus or debuff can go in these sections.)
Weaknesses:
Artifact:
(Add a few details about it's look and any other aspects about it, if it's a weapon add how effective it is, ect.)
Beast Form:
(Please note that beast form doesn't have to be based off an animal or a beast specifically, you can use things such as angels, demons, hell even elves as your motivation, however as the beast you choose must have some darker, sadistic aspect behind them, You can craft specific back stories for your beast if you wish, for Example: You could go with a race of demonic elves that enjoyed murdering and had pitch black skin. Though try to be a bit more creative when you explain their back story, if at all. The back story isn't exactly important unless you intend to use them as a talking topic in the actual RP.)

Are they up close and personal or heavily based on support and/or crowd control, ect. Feel free to provide an example post of your character in action. (I'll be doing one myself if you want to wait for that.))
Base Bonuses and Weaknesses
I'll start with the Weaknesses: For us our hearts and artifacts become huge weak points, if the heart is destroyed, you'll die. If the artifact is broken or destroyed it is rendered useless and you're unable to use your powers accurately and more specifically, to use even the most minor of your skills takes years of training, this is mainly due to two reasons, 1. Humans aren't naturally attuned to magic and there for it's a very hard thing for them to grasp and use properly, 2. The heart produces so much power that forming it in to specific attacks is extremely hard. Another weakness is the risk of losing control when in beast form, when in a percentage of beast form you cannot control your heart becomes heavily strained and damaged weakening your powers for as long as a week other effects of this are also broken limbs, it can take as long as a week to heal and be at full power again.
Bonuses include a large increase in strength allowing the players to easily move cars(Lifting them is a strained challenge.) and dent steel with out harming themselves. They're able to regenerate any part of their body as long as their heart is still functioning(This process is really slow and can sometimes result in small amounts of memory loss.), they gain a sixth sense that allows them to sense powerful corruption creatures and analyze the creatures with accurate intuition and finally their other senses are greatly increased.
NOTE: I wrote a lot of this while tired, It needs to be re-read and edited in my opinion so if anything doesn't match up or doesn't make sense don't worry, I will get to the issues in time. Thank you.
