All humans have some sort of Core Trait that stand out in them, whether it be that they are very intelligent or that they have an affinity with death. But only a few can be considered Harbingers of these idolized portrayals of existence; every part of their life stemming from these things whether they know it or not.
Harbingers are given special powers (specific to them and their Core Trait), but they are at their best when their affinity is focused on them and as time goes on... Though, strange abilities tend to show themselves and get stronger as they age.
Now, every Harbinger has a counter part, a Yin to their Yang, a Life to their Death and so on. These counterparts are to be relied on, they're there to reign in their other. Harbinger counterparts may be a total stranger or a childhood best friend. This bond can be comprehended in a matter of different relationship types but what should be well known is that when they meet the Harbingers will get a long distance telepathic bond allowing for an easier going work relationship.
And yes, you might be wondering how many harbingers are there- there are six core traits but there are atleast ten kids per trait. But each and every one of them have a counter part destined to them by fate.
The beasts outside are the enemy, fauna that has been corrupted from a virus- turning them into violent beasts that feed off of terror and malice. Some Harbingers have been corrupted aswell, though they aren't mindless beasts like the others. They have been corrupted by broken bonds and inhaling whatever the beasts have. Not many know who or what these people are and what they want because they don't last long enough to tell or find out.
Now that we got lore details out of the way, allow me to further explain the setting and direction of the plot! Harbingers is set in a future universe (2,000 years to be exact.) on a planet called Absolem. The planet has many colonies but a singular main city (Pasthenium) that floats above the vast forests that covers the planet.
The style of the roleplay is Cyberpunk with an Edwardian twist. Every one has some sort of technology and weapons because of the vile creatures covering the planet, but only Pasthenians have the most well-developed anything. Though they are willing to trade for any child that can be, potentially, a Harbinger. (Or they'll sell their stuff for impossible amounts of money)
These kids are then shipped to a school to be taught how to protect their city from the beasts outside. But the children go through harsh training, often picking off the weak before too long and yet, Harbingers still struggle with the monsters if they don't excel.
The goal is that our group of Harbingers are in their second to last year of training and quite a couple of them don't exactly like following orders. Though, the entire group is extremely skilled with their weapons and fighting tactics so they can get away with quite a bit. Though, they end up going through a rabbit hole of trying to find out why there are beasts and Harbingers and why the Core Traits (gods) left them. This ends them getting in trouble with their school and planet's government, therefore they're going to be hunted down by both the government and the Fallen.

Characters! Life: 1/1 (Summed up as the leader. Their weapons tend to be blunt like a hammer or a bat. They are from a ground level colony very close to the city) Maddy Minor, Female Jolynnb
Death: 1/1 (Their weapon is most-likely a scythe or an axe. From a colony.) Virgil C. Grimm, Male, Lovador
Wisdom: 1/1 ( heir weapons can very but it is most-likely something clean and modern like a lazer gun or a very decked out crossbow. From the city) Grey Castellan, Male, Mystiria827
Primitivity: 1/1 (Despite being considered the dumb ones, Primitivity Harbingers are very crafty survivalists. They are probably strong enough to lift a fridge. They either fight with a blade or their bare hands like a brawler, could probably head butt something to oblivion. They're from a nomadic colony.) Kalib Foerstner, Male, Scoutwolf
Chaos: 1/1 (They, a lot like racoons or magpies, have collections of weird shiny things that can come in use later. Their weapon is a flamethrower or anything that could possibly be seen as insane. They're from a colony) Aryn Kephri, Male, Blacklightmessenger
Peace: 1/1 (Their weapons are usually graceful like duel blades, a whip, or a fan. They are from the city.) Oris Lawick, Male, Cian
Notes!
> The lost god's name's have been long forgotten over the year- now being recognized as Core Traits.
> The School is a lot like a Military School, just harder, and taking kids in at the age of thirteen.
> Harbingers can indeed cause mass destruction when they become fully-realized.
> Powers for the Harbingers are pretty open ended as long as they fit the Core Traits/aren't OP)
> Your characters should be starting to unlock/get used to the telepathy and/or bond.
> Remember, most beasts could return your characters if they are cocky.
(May add more later)

(The roleplay starts on a airship, about to drop off the Harbingers on their first unsupervised mission to clear a small area of beasts! It shouldn't take long.)
Aryn was sat amongst his group, his chainsaw tucked up in the carrier shelf above them. He wasn't even sitting properly. He leaned against Oris, messing around with the buckles on his jacket. His mask was pulled down, the tubes hung limply, oxygen not turned on yet.
He only had it for the aesthetic, and somehow it hadn't gotten in the way yet. "I can't wait to sink my saw into a beast." , He smirked, beginning to play with a lighter. "It's been wayy too long." He drew out the way dryly. Aryn sat up a little, gently elbowing his counterpart.
"What'd you think, Ori?" , He asked, smiling dangerously up at him, his hair flopping a little to show off one of his eyes. It was gleaming with bloodlust, but he turned away before too long, fixing his oversized coat that hung from his shoulders. A foreboding skull wearing a mask similar to hi was painted on the back.

"I think," Grey says waspishly, "That you are an absolute idiot. But it is not my place to reply." He stands up, fiddling with his gun and looking ever so refined, the snooty jerk. He adjusts his own mask, glancing disdainfully at the others.

Virgil just stayed silent and made sure that his gloves won't fall off. He sighed and looked around the ship.

Aryn scoffed at him. "No, you're just jealous- or insecure~", He smirked, lean forward. Aryn flicked the lighter on, spinning it in his hand before turning it off- he repeated the process a few times, it was his way of fidgeting so he wasn't completely relying on his counterpart to keep from doing something entirely stupid.

"Granted," Grey says loftily, smartly moving out of the line of fire. Poking fun at Aryn, Grey knows, is a sport to be carefully conducted.

The silent Harbinger was looking out the nearest window, trying to imagine what the senary bellow them used to be like before thing went wrong, only to be brough back to reaily by a ligh jab. Oris sigh already somwhat anoyed by his counterpart antics, apparently Aryn had caugh on fairly quickly that he woudn't have share his thoughs without being prompted witch was both a blessing and a curse. " About what ? You using me as extra seat space or the mission." The look in Aryn's eye made him a bit nervous, it was never good when the guy had that look or his lighter open.
