 The Land of Redemption is a land that lies between the land of the living (Earth) and the land of the dead (Heaven, Hell, the Underworld, etc). In the Land of Redemption, those who die are given a second chance at life if they pass through the land's many mazes and pass many tasks. There are several tunnels that descend into the ground, and people must travel through and pass a task near the end to gain Redemption. There are those in this Land that seek to prevent you from passing through. They are not all the evils you know of right away. Some are people who do not want redemption and instead take pleasure in corrupting others and taking them from their path. Travel through at your own risk, as it will be a long time. The Land seems locked in an endless night with the sun barely over the horizon. Try and pass, and the sun will rise, and once it is over you, you will be wrapped in warm sunlight and given a second chance at life.

He is the Angel of Death, bringing corrupted souls to the gates of Hell. He cares not for people who vow to change, only going by what a person does to prove it. He is not easily persuaded, and does not care for gender or age like most. He can sometimes be self-centred and cruel. Abilities:Shadow Manipulation & Lie Detection Appearance: Username:VSG12 Post Color: Dark Slate GrayName:Lumend Alias:The Angel of Light Personality:Affectionate and loving, he is the opposite of his twin brother; Schatten.

Those Seeking RedemptionFull Name: Vivianne Little Alias: Vi (V-eye) Age: 19 Reason For Death: Murdered while protecting her sister from a gang-rape Appearance:
 Biography: Vi was your average, ordinary girl going through High School. She had graduated from her local High School in Chicago, and was going to go to Community College before pursuing a career of Acting. She was to attend Wabounsee CC, but after a tour of the campus with her younger sister the girls ran into some trouble off the school grounds. Ambushed, Vi pushed her sister into their car to avoid her being raped. She was shot in the head and left to die. Before the ambulance came, her heart gave out. And now she's here, in Limbo (the realm between Heaven and Hell). Posting Color: Rosy Brown Username: VSG12
Full Name: Michael Phillips Alias: Mikey Age: 18 Reason For Death: Drowned Appearance:
 Biography: Michael was a selfless person his whole life, and was even intending on being a doctor later in his life to help many more lives. However, when on holidays in Hawaii, a group of tourists were drowning. He swam out into the dangerous waves and saved a dozen people. However, growing more tired with each save, and no one else helping him, he himself drown. He then found himself in Limbo, and strives to rejoin the living to continue his dream of saving lives. Posting Color: Indigo Username: The Friendly Amigo VSG12
Full Name: Alice Howell Alias: Al Age: 20 Reason For Death: Accidental Overdose Appearance: Biography: The first lesson that was ever drilled into Alice's head was that the world was cruel. People would use you until you were no longer useful and then toss you aside like trash. That's what her mother did to their family, that's what her best friend did to her, that's what humans did to each other. It was as simple as that. So Al decided a long time ago that she wasn't going to let anyone take advantage of her. Not again.
Alice spent most of her life working. All throughout high school she worked her butt off studying, everyday in the summer was taken up by her part time job to earn tuition for college, and what ever free time was left was used looking after her drunkard father and defenseless little brother. The only thing that changed when she went to college was that Al had to put more time into working so that she could afford to pay the bills and stay in university.
It was during the second semester of her first year at uni that Alice was diagnosed with insomnia. Being unable to pay for the medication she needed, Alice resorted to self medicating with pills she found around the house and at the homes of her acquaintances. By doing this on a regular basis, Al eventually overdosed. Now, she's stuck in between heaven and hell and must fight to get home. Only problem? She doesn't know if she wants to go back. Or if she deserves to. Posting Color: LightSteelBlue Username: CynicalNeo Those Who Corrupt Others Full Name: Pandora Hallows Alias: The Seductress of Murder Age: 29 Methods Of Corruption: Sexual Desires (it corrupts the soul) Poisoning Deception Appearance:
 Biography: Pandora was what most would call a "serial bride", but those who looked closer knew she was a Black Widow. She married, stayed with that man for a year or two, then dispatched of them with a poison she concocted on her own....after all, she was a Pharmacist for a time. The poison left no traces, and because it could be put into drinks and food, by the time an autopsy came around, there would be no traces. She was always gone when it happened, when the husband died, so there was no evidence linking her to the case. When she went to find husband number eleven, she began flirting with a billionaire. She was so close to getting him, and his fortune, when a jealous ex-lover of his shot her dead in the bar. Now, she is in Redemption, corrupting others so they can never find their ways home. She will either tempt them with sexual desires, since it corrupts the person's soul should they follow through (making it so they must to the whole course of tunnels again); poison them (making it so they cannot complete the tunnels, however someone else can take up the challenge of doing the entire course again to free them from her spell); or common deception and lies.

The Tunnel of Fire one must face the fires of those who have been corrupted. Only by telling the truth can one pass through the flames without being burned. The Tunnel of Earth one must face hardships from their past and travel around the maze within the tunnel. Only those who can deal with the pain of the past can travel through. The Tunnel of Ice one must be able to forgive themselves and others to pass through an ice-mirror door and journey through. The Tunnel of Dark one must face their own hatred and corruption in the form of a "Shadow Being" to travel through. The Tunnel of Light one must prove their worth by selflessly saving the life of another person. This person may be old, innocent, or completely evil, but one must save them nonetheless and without any merits. The Tunnel of Sound one must challenge the voices of those who oppose you by showing inner strength and courage. By doing this, tiny spirits will then lead one through to the exit. The Tunnel of Mind one must enter a fake world, where no one recognises you, and make someone remember you. This is one of the most difficult tunnels, and few have ever found the exit. It is the final tunnel, and serves as a way of getting those close to you together. The Tunnel of Redemption one must prove your worth to the 3 Angels at the Gates of Redemption by sacrificing a part of your old life (giving up something that was important to you in the past).

 Vivianne opened her eyes and sat up. She looked around her surroundings, it looked like night was about to fall, the sun over he horizon but light still peaking through. Thunderclouds rumbled above and lightning flashed across the sky, yet no rain or lightning fell to the ground. It was also cooler than she remembered; not cold enough to get goosebumps or shiver, but cool enough to notice it. She wasn't in any area of Aurora that she could recognize. This was a foreign landscape to her. " Where am I?" she asked herself. " You are in Limbo, child. You may choose to go through the Tunnels of Redemption to find your salvation or you may choose to stay where you are," a lovely female voice said. " If you do not act, you will become corrupted by the darkness. This world will become the darkest night with freezing temperatures and horrendous storms. You will never be able to be brought back to life," a dark male voice spoke. " The closer you get to passing through all the Tunnels, the brighter the sky will become and the warmer it will get. Only you may find salvation for yourself, but to help others will merit you. Choose your fate wisely, for it is the only chance you have to right the wrongs of the past," a lighter male voice sounded. Vi blinked and stood up. She was dead? How could she be? She remembered a group of men trying to rape her sister, how she came running and screaming at them. The last thing she remembered was bright light and then darkness. Had she been shot? She took a breath in and decided to try and fight her way through whatever challenges faced her. Her family needed her and she wasn't about to let them suffer without her there. ...

 It felt as if she was floating on clouds. That was the first thing she remembered feeling after she died, that weightlessness. And, despite the knowledge she held of her own death, it was a great comfort; it provided her with a sense of security, something she hadn't experienced in a long time. Unfortunately, it didn't last that long.
---------------------------------------------------------------
“Ugh, ow.”
Alice reached her hand up to her head, pain prancing around in her skull, and cradled it as she slowly lifted her upper body off the ground. She mashed the palm of her hand into her forehead, as if it would subside the ache, while she attempted to observe her surroundings, something that was incredibly difficult as her vision blurred when she open her eyes. Where am I? That was the only thought that went through her mind as she blinked, trying to adjust her eyes to the light. After a few minutes her sight cleared enough where she was able to see her immediate surroundings: a dark, wide open sky that had lightning laced through it and flat land that spread out far as she could see, as if it would never end. Tentatively, she stood up.
“Hello? Is anyone there?”
What happened to me?

 Vivianne had begun walking across the landscape, trying to see if there was any sign of life (of what could at least resemble it) when she came across a boy. His hair was sopping wet, yet the rest of him was dry. Upon closer inspection, it was only the ends of his hair that was wet. As she looked down at herself, she noticed a blood-stain on her shirt. Upon closer inspection, her body was fine. " Maybe it's a symbolism to how we all died," she thought to herself as she shook the boy.He woke up suddenly and coughed violently. After a moment, he sat up and looked around. " W...where am I? Who are you? What happened to me?" he asked. " I don't know exactly where we are, but I think it's some kind of Limbo or Purgatory or something of that nature. We have a chance to get out if we go through all these challenges, these tunnels, and that's all I know. My name is Vivianne Little, but you can call me Vi. And I think you died, but I don't know how. I think I was....murdered," she explained. " M....my name is Michael Phillips. Call me Mikey. I think I drowned," he explained before a noise not far away caught his attention, " did you hear that? It sounded like another person," he mentioned. He and Vi got up and walked around, finding a brunette-haired girl standing around, looking confused.

 Footsteps slapped against the pavement from an unknown direction, causing her to swerve around, searching for the source of the noise. About a meter in front of her were two people, one who's hair was soaked and the other had blood on her chest. Alice whirled back in shock while her cautious gaze examined the two thoroughly. “Who are you two? What the hell is going on?” she asked, her voice calm, but forceful. “Where are we?” The answer to the question was unlimited to anything. Alice knew they were dead and that this was an afterlife of sorts. It didn't feel like heaven nor hell, so was it another destination that no one knew about, thought about?
Her eyes scanned the two in front of her, particularly the girl with a bullet wound to the chest. They had all experienced death so it didn't make sense for the blue haired woman to be fatally wounded, though she didn't act as if she was hurt. Of course it wouldn't, she thought, scornfully. How could the dead feel pain? Her eyes narrowed before she shifted her gaze towards the boy, who's head appeared soaked. Perhaps, this was what they looked like after they died or the moment of their death. Alice didn't linger long on the thought. “Do either of you know what we're supposed to do from this point on?”

Rumbling from the ground beneath them caused the landscape to shift and move abruptly. In the distance, fire licked the sky like a volcano erupting. After the dust settled, a rock formation sat next to the trio, a cave carved into the rocks which served as a home for an elegant woman in European clothing with white hair pinned back, hanging in waves along her face. "This is what some call Purgatory, Limbo, or Nirvana. We here call it Redemption, since that is what the Angels offer us," she said in a raspy, yet beautiful voice. Her indigo eyes looked to the others and she smiled with her plum-red lips. "If you choose to accept the challenge, you may go through all of the Tunnels of Redemption across the landscape to prove to the Angels of Salvation you have something to live for. If you do so, they will bring you back to life," she continued. "As for what happens should you fail a tunnel, well, to put it simply you end up back at the beginning. You have to do everything all over again and try again. There are some who have never gotten past the first tunnel, some who have gotten close to the last tunnel only to fail. Still, there are some of us who have given up on trying and remain here in this land merely...guiding others," she concluded as she drank from a tea cup.
Vi and Mikey exchanged glances and wondered what to think of this woman who showed up. She knew a lot, which meant she'd been around for a long time, so it wasn't like she wouldn't know about this world. Besides, they'd only shown up. "So, where's the first tunnel?" Vi asked. "Beyond those hills there, that's where the Tunnel of Fire lies," she replied.
Vi and Mikey looked to the other girl (Alice) and then to the far-off hills. "Are we going together as a group? Better to face the challenges ahead together than stand alone," he whispered faintly.
