Yuca Collabel IVlysdexicmunSeptember 5 2009, 20:06:34 UTC
Background (Cont.)
One of the girls at the orphanage is killed by a stray missile, and Freya has an emotional breakdown because of it. She becomes unresponsive and stops eating, at which point, Rain spends all of his money on flower seeds and starts planting her a gigantic garden to cheer her up. Yuca has a brief conversation with her, in which Freya 'wakes up' tells him that she loves him, and he simply sits there, almost unresponsive while she hugs him and tells him she wants to be his reason for living.
Several days later, Yuca is visited by the military, stating that they need more subjects. He offers up the children of the orphanage, and they state that they needed children test subjects, and leave happily.
Meanwhile, things for the church aren't going so well. The funding is cut and they can't afford to keep the children there, so everyone is told that they're being moved to a new facility. Rain decides to stay behind with the head nun for what seems like inconsequential reasons- though it's later revealed that he is very sick and doesn't want to die in front of Yuca and Freya.
While going through the main room, alone in the church with their caretaker, Rain notices a television news program running on an unidentified creature who went on rampage before dying- this creature was one of the Angels, and Rain recognizes her as another one of the girls from the orphanage. He sets out immediately to try and save everyone, but when he gets to the place they're being held (the cars never took the kids or Freya to their destination church, but rather, just into the military compound), he finds everything destroyed, and Freya sitting there over a bed in a pile of rubble, crying.
Rain goes to her and gently coaxes her up, before turning around to see Yuca, standing atop a large rock. Rain calls out to him, before realizing that Freya has fallen- belatedly, seeing the gun in Yuca's hand and realizing that Yuca had shot her. Yuca shoots Rain as well and takes both him and Freya underground. Despite what he told the scientists, Yuca had unlocked the potential to create the perfect immortal, but doesn't want just anyone to have that sort of power. He wants to play god- to pick and chose the people he wants to see again in a later lifetime. So, he takes Rain- still unconscious- and force-feeds him the flesh of an infected Angel (ironically enough, Freya), before implanting Freya's heart into his body and nailing a metal cross into his chest, carved with the date that Yuca would be reborn next.
When Rain wakes up, his first sight is Freya, hanging by her wrists on a pillar in front of him, obviously dead, with Yuca sitting down beneath her, watching Rain with an amused expression. Yuca explains to Rain that he has been chosen to be reborn for all eternity- that he is the spirit of Methuselah. He tells him that he has seen people live and die, and his life is nothing but a broken dream, from which there was no awakening. He tells Rain his wish of killing everybody in the world, after which he seems to contradict himself by saying that he wishes for Rain to live on with him, to take Rain with him into the future. Yuca mentions his plan to destroy everything, and tells Rain that if he wants to stop him, he'll have to live through an eternity to kill him time and time again.
His final words are uttered with a smile- "The next time I'll be born is carved on your chest. Come get me, Rain. Because you and I... are friends." At which point, Yuca shoots himself in the head and falls to his death, leaving Rain alive and alone for almost six hundred years.
I'm taking him post-death here, but not from his newer reincarnation.

Abilities/Additional Notes: As stated just about everywhere else in this app, Yuca is insane and has been reincarnated for an eternity, retains memories of his past lives, etc. This means he's very intelligent- intelligent enough to figure out the secret to immortality, if that's anything to go on.
I think I should put in a quick explanation here- after Yuca kills himself, he's reborn six hundred years later as a ten year old boy in the main story (yes, he's born at ten years old. Needless to say, his mother died in childbirth). Though I don't think he experiences any 'wait' between those six hundred years (one second he's dead and the next he's not anymore), I thought it would be best to take him just as he's dying, to help him adjust to the setting better without immediately deciding to kill himself and just come back when things are better. Also, because I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be playing a ten year old in this setting, no matter how old his memories are X__X.
Sample Journal Post: [voice] [The communication device is clicked on, but there's nothing but silence for a few moments. Finally, in a hushed voice-]
...what is this place? It's almost familiar... like a picture book in a dream. Have I- no. I don't think I've been here before.
Am I... asleep again? General, if you're present, respond. Respond.
[Another silence, contemplative.]
Alright then, tell me. What sort of world have I been born into this time? And where-
Where is Rain?
Sample RP:
His eyes fluttered open (he was being burned alive). His mouth opened (he was so hungry). He screamed (a sword was piercing his heart). His hands buried in his hair (she told him that she loved him).
Yuca sat up, drenched in cold sweat. Where was he? Who was he? When was he? Who did he know? What was real and what was a memory? How old was he? Numbers, answers, all of them different, all of them true, rang through his head, clattering around until he felt like tearing his eyes out to try and reach his brain. It was too much for him to handle- he didn't know which way was up, which way was down, who's lips belonged on whose face, who he would remember tomorrow- chaotic confusion echoed through his very core and left him shaking, trembling, sobbing in his bed with white cotton sheets, in his room with a view of a meadow.
His heart wouldn't stop beating- it wouldn't stop beating- wouldn't stop beating so fast, pounding in his chest like it was going to be ripped out (he knew what that felt like). His breath came in shaky gasps that wouldn't stop. Yuca tried to wrench himself back into calmness, forcing his eyes shut and the memories away, forcing his breath to slow and his heart to beat slower.
Gradually, it happened. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down, rubbing a bit at his eyes, before opening them again and looking toward the window, staring out of the glass into the peaceful serenity that was Rain's flower garden.
