Let's Break things down!
What is allowed in this world?
"Grimm's orders" takes place in an alternate universe to earth. This means that most of the established things that exist on earth such as animals, plant-life, and more importantly, sentient life such as humans exists in this this world. What has changed is the fact that these beings - Devourers and Enforcers - exist, and magic exists. Humans are not capable of wielding magic, and also, the humans of this realm do not live in large cities, like modern day. They are very superstitious, and know of the existence of both the Devourers and Enforcers, as well as the animal Gods Yhor and Grimm. Humans live in villages, and strongholds, defending themselves with swords, spears, bows/arrows, and magical wards such as spell slips, and scrolls. Devourers? Enforcers? These creatures are sentient, spiritual beings with their own cultures and ways of life. They are religious rivals, with the Devourers following the teachings of the death God, Grimm, and Enforcers following the teachings of the life God, Yhor. Being undead, Devourers are vastly more magical beings than Enforcers. Enforcers were created by Yhor to defend the balance of power. Enforcers are mortals trained in holy arts meant to defend the world from, literally being devoured by Grimm's undead. What exactly are Grimm's Orders? Simply to harvest souls to feed him. Grimm has sent his devourers into the mortal realm to feed him; they are to kill, specifically the humans, whether they be good or bad, because they have the strongest souls. Enforcers are taught that this senseless killing is wrong and therefore must stop the devourers; for each soul that Grimm absorbs he gains power, and once he has enough power to escape the plane of the gods into the mortal realm he will bring about Armageddon for the planet. |
You mentioned, Bound Objects..?
Devourers are undead; they are essentially demons brought ot earth through some sort of conduit. This conduit is the object the Devourer's soul is bound to, it can be something simple like a pebble, or complicated like jewellery. Whatever it is, for the purpose of the RP, it must be something that CAN exist in the world that I have described to the left, and it must be something able to be destroyed - doesn't have to be easily destroyed, but you should be able to destroy it. As long as this object is available, when a Devourer is defeated in battle/killed, its soul will return to the object to reconstitute as new mortal form. Depending on the strength of the soul this may take years, for some, it may only take a few days.
