Backstory
In the depths of the Saara Desert lies the Headquarters of the Holy Guardians, a secret cult with supernatural powers. Its purpose is to keep the Scarlet Menace from bringing terror to mankind.
The Scarlet Menace are vengeful spirits who travels throghout the spirit realm searching for humans to possess. Each tim they kill a human, his enraged spirit becames part of the Scarlet Menace and starts to haunt humankind with his new brothers. Their objective is to grow in number. Killing humans is their way of not going extinct. Leaving the Scarlet Menace out of control is condemning mankind to extinction.
They were first identified by The Sentinel, a now cyborg figure who lives in the deepest level of the Citadel, connected by cables and metal machines that keeps him alive for centuries and links him to all parts of the world. The Sentinel is able to detect the presence of these spirits around the globe. Incapable of moving, he sends one of the Apostholes to get rid of them.
The Apostholes are figures with supernatural powers. Although not usually able to fully detect the possessed ones, they are able to establish a radius of where the spirits are located to build the Birdcage. Just one Aposthole is sent so no suspicions are raised when they arrive at the places they are designated to. The Apostholes are rare creatures with incredible powers that the Holy Guardians cannot afford to lose, although they have theCitadel Academy constantly training other students. So, it is also safer to send just one and believe in his abilities than risking losing more than one Aposthole in case of a mission failure.
The Birdcage. is an energetic field created by The Sentinel's technology, which is able to separate the soul from the body of people who touches it. Its form resembles the half-cylindrical appearence of a common birdcage. By using establishing it, the Aposthole confines a group of people inside it.If the Aposthole dies, the Birdcage will last for three whole months. People inside it will be doomed if not able to find food an water inside its radius, and all they can do is to keep the possessed ones from increasing the Scarlet Menace from growing in numbers in the spirit realm. In the moment The Device (where The Birdcage is carried on) is activated, The Sentinel's voice echoes throghout the whole area with the following message:
"Souls are corrupted and must be freed. It is up to you to decide who are the possessed ones and to eliminate their body in order to put an end to their agony. Humankind future existence lies on your shoulders."
And so the game begins.

- Santiago Bendolín + Show Spoiler [Profile] +
]Ah! The handsome Santiago. The sound you're most used to is to the sound of panties dropping. Leader of the soccer (football, you fools!) team of your university, you called your girlfriend and a couple of friends to go camping in the borders of Argentina. Perfect time to be in touch in nature, and you could also try to finally lay Camila down in the tent. Perfect opportunity.
Unfortunately, after exploring the falls all day long and smoking too much pot, Camila fell deeply asleep, and you've got nothing. Upset with the first failure, you went outside to gaze into the beautiful view, ande you were there until the morning, when this very view was disturbed by some sort of cage that engulfed your camping site.
- João Oliveira + Show Spoiler [Profile] +
You're brasilian and you hate argentinians. Why? Who knows? You just keep rehashing this old hatred because it's cultural. You have never actually seen an argentinian before.
So you decided to go to Paraguay to buy some cheap stuff and come back to the country. Why not also taking a trip to Foz do Iguaçu? That's what you did. And you could also try an unorthodox path to avoid customs and taxation.
Unfortunately, in the middle of the way, you were caught in the Birdcage. It's probably something an argentinian would do to piss you off. GODDAMN ARGENTINIANS!
- Agustín Cajara + Show Spoiler [Profile] +
You're the elder of the village. You were the founder, actually. And you dress funny. You like colorful and full of pattern clothes, that usually doesn't match. But your wife loves it. You also. So you keep using those clothes.
As you're kinda old, you don't do much stuff. You act like a sage, but you're actually not. Nobody goes to you for help. They think you're not as smart as you know you are. Whatever. That's your role in your village. You won't do anything else. And oh boy, don't people DARE to say you're lazy. YOU ARE WILLING TO WORK HARD! You just not have enough requests to do so.
When the Birdcage was set, you were separated from your wife. As your life is at stake, you opened yourself to her. You told her how much you loved her and that she was the only thing that made him wanted to live. She said the same, but you asked her to promise that she would carry on if you die there. She promised.
- Joaquín González + Show Spoiler [Profile] +
In the small village near the Cataratas, you live with your wife. It's a peaceful place: you are entrusted of producing food to the little town, and sell it to Nicolás Mustino, the town merchant, that transports them to the tourist points.
It was when you were cropping your little corn field when a strange Birdcage appeared in the skies, and a deep, cold voice stated a horrifying destiny to you and your beloved one. Pure hearted as you are, you can't bear to think that you may have to kill one of the people you always lived with, and always loved. Unless if it is Agustín Cajara. Fuck him.
- Nicolás Mustino + Show Spoiler [Profile] +
Oh, the wonders of capitalism! You're the small village's merchant. Every weekend you go to a big city to sell the goods your fellow villagers fabricates, party like HELL (oh, those guys will never know how parties are really made), and buy stuff to bring back to the village. In week days, you supply the touristical places. It's awesome. Really. You don't have to get your hands dirt with the soil, you just travel and, when in the village, sit there in your store.
What a disgraceful news when the Birdcage was formed. You don't want to kill anyone but, oh boy, if you have to kill someone in order to stay alive and keep going to those AMAZING NIGHTCLUBS IN BUENOS AIRES, SO BE IT!
- Ignacio Pileño + Show Spoiler [Profile] +
You're friends with Santiago, and he asked if you wanted to go camping. At first you didn't want to, but then he said there was a girl he wanted you to meet. This made you uneasy. Leaving the comfortable house with all your videogames to go camping? Argh.
Anyway, if there was 3G signal so you could keep playing mafia, that was fine. Plus, that girl Milagros is beautiful. You really want to be with her.
But it was deadline in the forums and you didn't care much for her, and lost the opportunity to finally kiss someone after a long, long time. You were so focused into putting traction in a shenannie that you didn't even noticed when the Device was activated.
- Alex Proudman + Show Spoiler [Profile] +
You and your wife decided to go on an adventure! Why traveling to popular places like anywhere in Europe, or going to a place as close as Mexico? You wanted to get more in touch with nature and, doing a quick search on Google, you found this beautiful place called Cataratas do Iguaçú. You quickly got your visas to go to Brazil. After hours and hours of flight, you finally arrived to your destination! But tired as hell. Goddamn what a huge flight. Better go to sleep and wake up very early so you could explore everything you could in the next day!
What a bad surprise when you just got out of the bed, walked a few miles, and found you and your wife trapped in the Birdcage, playing a death game. You haven't even made plans for children yet, and you now risk losing the love of your life to some sick mission you never asked for.

In the small village near the Cataratas, you live with your husband. It's a peaceful place: you are entrusted of producing food to the little town, and sell it to Nicolás Mustino, the town merchant, that transports them to the tourist points.

Pure hearted as you are, you can't bear to think that you may have to kill one of the people you always lived with, and always loved. Although you hold a grudge against Lucía Máldovar, you don't want to kill her. Much.
Why does she stares at Joaquín like that?
- Camila Comoja + Show Spoiler [Profile] +
Camila is a cute but not so cute, beautiful, funny but not so funny kind of girl. You like to play handball in your university. And it was in the Athletic Association of your college that you met Santiago. You are dating for 4 months by now.
Santiago invited Camila to go to a camping site in the Iguazu Falls. You were so excited that you accepted it! But then realised you were going alone with him, and you will probably feel forced to lay with him (yes, it's been 4 months but... you're still not comfortable with it). Noticing that Santiago probably has that in mind too, you asked to bring your friend Milagros with you, and Santiago agreed. If you didn't feel like doing it, you would have Milagros to be with, anyway.
You were asleep when Santiago opened the tent and pointed out to the strange cage thing hanging out in the air.
- Milagros Liceña + Show Spoiler [Profile] +
You're friends with Camila. You had nothing to do when Camila invited you to go camping with her. Wow! Sounds really fun, right?
No.
Santiago, that dick, was with her, and the brought a guy too. Suddenly, you were on a date you didn't ask for.
Well, now that you're here, and there is a guy hanging with you, why not just roll with it, right?
No.
The guy kept using his phone and ignored you for a long time. So you basically are in the middle of the jungle, with a couple cuddling with each other and a guy that says nothing but "OMG LYNCH HOLYFLARE" to his phone. And now there is this death game.
Oh, you wish you could be doing nothing instead of coming here.
- Lucía Maldóvar + Show Spoiler [Profile] +
It's awful to be widowed this early. You know, in a small village, they have this conservative creed that a woman belongs to only one man, and that's all. You have 30 years and is destined to live alone. Really? That's ridiculous! You are young! You are a human! You deserve a partner!
You hate this. You think noone belongs to nobody. That's why you always try to get Joaquín González to your house. Yeah, he is married, but marriage is such a thin concept. It disappears with death. Marriage simply means nothing. Sofia sure won't mind if you could have a little... sugar.
Anyway, you planned to move out of the village. And that is what you're going to do if you survive the Birdcage.
- Victoria de la Sierra + Show Spoiler [Profile] +
You finally decided to visit the Cataratas. You see, you're argentinian, and you hate brasilians. Oh yes, you can't stand those people. You don't actually know why, but yeah, you can't. It's that hatred that comes by like a heritage. And that's why you couldn't visit the cascades: there is 20% of it in Brasil. Argh.
But now you overcame it. There is no problem. You will survive.
Or will you? The Birdcage is set. YOU KNEW IT! GODDAMN BRASILIANS!
