Story: There will be spoilers for The World Ends With You

"Welcome to the Underground, or UG if you prefer. You are all here for a common reason. You are dead. You have two options now. Accept your death, or participate in a game for a second chance. Should you choose the latter, you will be playing The Reaper's Game. Each Player must forfeit what they value most as an entrance fee. You have 7 days to prove you are worthy of living your life, and you must complete a mission issued by us. Your missions will involve confrontation with negative human emotions manifested as creatures known as Noise. You cannot combat the Noise without partnering with another Player. If you are defeated in battle or fail to complete a mission, then you will lose your entrance fee and your right to exist. I wish you luck. You have a busy week ahead of you."

Concept: You can be a Player who fights the Noise or a Reaper who controls them. The Reapers work for the Composer who oversees the UG version of Shibuya. Each Player uses a unique Psych such as telekinesis, pyrokenesis, or something like a blade of psychic energy or something. You can have the same Psych as another Player but it's recommended that you come up with your own special Psych. Your character doesn't necessarily choose their Psych so much as stumble upon it so don't be all "I can control water cause I feel like it"� or something. In the game, it usually ended up being something related to the character. Shiki used telekinesis to control her stuffed animal and Beat had superior acrobatics and attacked with his skateboard.

Players form pacts to work as partners to defeat the Noise. If your partner dies, you're screwed. You have seven minutes to live until your soul becomes so much dust in the wind. You can make an NPC partner or make arrangements to partner up with someone here or after the introduction post. While you can cooperate with all the other Players, the Reaper's Game is also competitive as only a certain number of people are brought back to life each week based on their performance. If anyone lives to get that far.

There are two types of Reapers: Harriers and Support. Harriers hunt the Players because it's their job. Support Reapers issue players tasks to complete to get past barriers that usually lead to places key to finishing the mission. The Harriers and Support follow the week's Game Master who is in charge of the week's missions which can be things like erasing a certain area's Noise or fetching a certain item.
There is a time limit for each mission issued by the GM. Failure to complete a mission within that limit results in the erasure of every Player. But only one couple needs to complete the mission for all Players. Once the mission is complete, you move to the next day.

Depending on how long this RP goes(more than one game week), I will let other people be the GM. That will make them in charge of all of the Reapers. But for the first week, I will be the GM.

As always with my RPs, I have a very good understanding of the subject matter so feel free to ask questions. The standard RP rules for this site apply so I won't bother going over them. Onto the sign up sheets.

Psych: Ability to slow events around him for small periods of time, making him appear to move faster.

I was a little worried this wouldn't catch on. Be partners with my Player. lol I sense a lot of conflict and character growth could be had.

Alright then we'll have to see who else joins like. I'm not familiar with the series at all (is this based on a series ) but I'm eager for some new RPing what with some of the other ones dying still.

It's a stand alone game by Square-Enix. It's really awesome. lol I've beaten it like 3 times.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

I was working on my own The World ends with you RP for months. You even stole my character powers!

But since someone beat me to the punch, I guess I might as well participate. I'll post a bio once I think of a new character.

rofl Seriously? I started working on this a long time ago then hit a snag and gave up. I had mentioned it in one of the topics about new RP's but no one showed any interest or didn't notice but I decided to post it anyways. Sorry about that. lol That's hella funny.

Well, my bad for not noticing then. But... you can make it up to me by allowing me to be next week's GM. I already have the character concept so...

Anyways my characters.

Name: Yuki Aikawa
Age: 18
Height: 172cm
Weight: 44kg
Appearance:
picture
Personality: Sociable, kind, dedicated, and outgoing. On the negative side, clumsy, forgetful, and kind of ditzy
Bio: Despite being a scatterbrain, Yuki was always chasing her dream to become a doctor. While taking a shortcut home from cram school, through a construction site, she was killed by falling materials.
Psych: Energy Projectiles


Name:Henry Sano
Age: 12
Height: 140 cm
Weight: 39 kg
Appearance:

Personality: Strange. Quite, with a dark aura looming around him. Likes to hang out with people as though he wants to make friends, but doesn't really do anything which makes him more creepy than friendly.
Bio: Henry lived a very stagnant life. As an orphan, he grew up in a foster home. He would hang around groups of people until his demenor drove them away. Unsure of how he died, he just wanders UG unsure of what to do.
Psych: Gravity

Just wondering, are you going to partner up with yourself? And you got yourself a deal. lol You'll be next week's GM. I want to get one more pair of Players in on this but ideally two before starting. It'd be easy enough for people to join partway through the week, just saying that they were laying low for awhile but now are actively trying to finish the missions. Deadline for sign-ups will be Wednesday.

Well, I'd rather not team my two characters with each other. While everyone else is being sociable, I'll be talking to myself. It would be nice if we could mix characters up.

And thanks about the GM thing. Now I have to think of some cool missions.

Ryuga: I'll be partners with one your characters if you'd like :3

Name: Josh Venos
Age: 17
Height: 6' 1
Weight: 166
Appearance:
Somewhat Like this guy, Just with a flannel on and black hair.

Personality: Quiet and kind, but can be quite the asshole when he wants to be.

Bio: A quiet guy, He doesn't talk to many people. The only thing he does is mess around with computers anymore. Some people think he might just be a robot. The way he talks is monotone and he never picks a fight with anyone.

Psych: Manipulation of data within an area.

Yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!
Although it means one of my characters is left alone. But no matter, I can leave one for week two if it comes down to it.

Name: Gaz
Age: 16
Height: 5"11'
Weight: 9st 6

Personality: A laid back guy, he's sort of at piece with things. Would rather chill out than argue.
Bio: Listened to music and the sounds of his 'homeland' since before he was born. He wanted to create music and sounds so badly, but had no way of doing so at the young age he was. This was because even at 1 and 2 he was wanting to create organised music. A which doctor talked to him, took him back to his home, and told him that they sensed a greatness in the child and that they would give him 'strange powers', the doctor killed him, there and then at the age of two. And as the weeping child lay in the doctors cold arms she spoke softly: "you will live on with what you desire". but the doctor was never seen, heard, or even known of before or after that event.
Psych: Control of movement in objects to create frequencies and slight visible motions

That is a really odd yet awesome character background. lol Very creative, I like it.

Thank you
but i just looked at yours and realised how similar my guy's Psych is to mine, I'll change it if you want

I thought yours was more like telekinesis. lol You can keep it, I don't mind changing my character. Or, we can both keep it. I'm partnered with Sparrowsmith so while we will be working together, you won't seem me as often as your partner.

i'm good just keeping them both how they are if you are so yea, will be fine

Well we have three groups of two so I'm going to be starting this within the next couple of days. I'm looking forward to this.

It's been a week. Did this die before it even started?

Hope not. I wanna get in on it too really.
I love the fact square enix games are based around something that is 'just a day in the life' style. Something that not only the protagonist can do, but anyone (if that makes sense).

Name: Haruman Flame and Gradian Incha (Har and Grad (pronounced Geraid)
Age: 22 and 56 respectively

Appearance :http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs46/f/2009/206/5/9/Dragon_Rider_by_NuMioH.jpg (metamorphised)

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rovr5Of6iUU/Sd1L...RES__223050.jpg (the back left is Grad, front right is Har).


Personality: Haruman is easy-going and social, and has skill in fencing (He was a national fencer in USSR before the accident). Gradian is a serious man who trained Har for almost a decade. He also used to be a national fencer, but was clipped from an injury which broke his fencing hand. They have an extreme attatchment to their fencing swords ; Mina and draco. Mina, named after minamoto, an ancient and powerful samurai from japanese history, whose tact and skill was unmatched. Draco, latin for dragon, because of his ferocious lunge which managed to break a rib in an epee (any fencers should note how hard this is. Closest I came was I winded someone so badly they couldn't compete for half an hour!)
Also, they are both extremely angry at the japanese yakuza, which they realised they were killed for in the midst of a turf war.

Bio:
Har :
A fencer from england, he flew into tokyo to compete and learn from the style of the other fencers. After a few days in Japan, he met a ryu and practiced there. Unfortunately, after an hour, his mentor arrived. Furious, as they left the ryu, they both had an argument, and on the journey back to the hotel they were attacked. In what was meant to be an ordinary robbing, they both pulled out their swords, knocking out two of the three agressors trying to rob them. The third man had a gun. After three rounds later, both men were shot, one in the heart, the other twice in the head. Confused, they ended up awake, hearing the voice.
Psych: (I have not played the game yet, although I have started) Har can metamorphise into a swordsman (picture), and Grad a dragon (picture). This represents their loss of their weapons. Can only use once, although lasts about 20 seconds.

EDIT : It seems that now I have played some of the game, I may have pushed it a bit. Too much with dragon change?
EDIT : Large picture, so instead stick it in your browser.

Name: Sojiro
Age: 29
Height: 5"9
Weight: 80 pounds (super light :D)
Appearance: http://tenletter.files.wordpress.com/2009/...02-large-13.jpg
Personality: Wise, anti social
Bio: Was once a great swordsman when he was alive when he died he had received a new ability to summon blades.
Psych: Summons blades that can cut through & kill noise, each blade summoned can only be used for 5 seconds. Which usually makes him throwing them constantly.

Edit: Hope this isn't dead..

bump? Sato where are ya? D:

Dying of illness. I've been super sick and I still am but I'm well enough to log in. Devex3, your characters are fine. But Scriptless, you need a partner. If worse comes to worst, I'll make a second one for you.

i can't really think of one.. maybe later.

I'm pretty sure we have an even number of characters. Everyone should have a partner. However, if someone doesn't post their intro for too long, than I can always drop one of my own characters for next week just to make the numbers even again.

Doesn't ryuga have a spare character?

I'd rather not have a monologue for my tag team, so one of my guys can go with scriptless, and the other with Ryuga's spare?

If I looked through the topic correctly, than everyone should have another player to partner up with. The inclusion of my 2 characters make the number of players even.

Everyone else has agreed upon their partner except for you and Scriptless, who just recently joined. So you two will have to pair up.

And what if someone else tried to join since they happen to be a massive TWEWY fan? Hypothetically speaking, of course.

then suppose they would create a character or two and start RPing

Yeah, you should join Kratour. lol I forgot about Ryuga's spare but if you start playing then we'll definitely have enough to go around.

I'll write a sheet either later tonight or tomorrow, just wanted to wait and make sure you were okay with it before I bothered with making a character. Hm... that sounded more conceited than I wanted it to.

lol Nah, sounded fine to me. I wouldn't have noticed anything if you hadn't pointed it out. lol Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Never mind- I'll wing it.

No character sheet? lol A bit unorthodox but I'll allow it since I know you're legit. Go ahead and jump in.

Actually I meant that I could wing the making of my character sheet but uh... your the boss, man. I am curious as to what I should do for a partner, though, so any tips would be pretty awesome.

Name: Jenis Lyriel
Age: 12

Height: 5'3
Weight: 124

Appearance: Small, wispy, and as frail looking as he is in actuality- which was roughly as tough as some sort of Glass-Porcelain hybrid. His body lacked much muscle, and his skin was surprisingly pale which indicated that he didn't get out much. He had a large, softly curved face, with large eyes, full lips, and an almost constant blush. In fact, he seemed rather feminine- a trait which his dark, blue tinged hair certainly didn't do anything to disperse. It was long, really long, and fell to his lower back in an elegant ponytail, held in place by a length of soft white ribbon that fell nearly as far itself. His eyes were rather shiny, and the light blue orbs seemed to be at least a bit watery at all times- more so than most people's at least.

As far as clothing goes, he wore thin, pale blue pants, which were incredibly soft and held a slight floral pattern. They had no zipper, and were instead held up by a slightly fuzzy cord ran through the waist, which was tied into a small bow. He word no shoes, and his upper wear consisted entirely of a large white T-Shirt, which seemed to be to big for him, as the bottom of it hung only a foot or so shy of his knees. All things considered, it looked like he was dressed more for bed than anything.

Personality: Due to his upbringing, Jenis is a very shy boy. He doesn't really know how to function around other people, and that usually leads to him keeping to himself. However, when he does choose to talk, he reveals a soft voice, and a kind predisposition. Nai've is a good way to describe, though it goes a bit beyond that as well. In actuality, it's more like he doesn't understand how anyone could purposefully do anything mean to anyone else. It just didn't make sense to him, and he assumed that everyone else was just as nice as he was. Turns out, that's really not the case... not at all.

Bio: Born into a very wealthy family, Jenis was never really wanting. He was the third and last child, and was the first boy to be born to his parents. His life was sheltered, and he could count the amount of times he'd been let out of the house on a single hand. They kept him inside, had him home-schooled, and most of his spare time was spent playing Chess with his sisters or anyone who was willing to play with him, really. He was only six when his mother died, which hit him pretty hard. It took a while to sink in, but all things considered, he handled it really well. Of course, fate really has a habit of kicking the pup when it's down. It wasn't but a year later that his father remarried, and for some strange reason, his new mom didn't really seem to like him.

She was never very kind to him, though she seemed to get along with his sisters well enough. Jenis' father soon began to get into fights with her over the boy, and they'd yell at each other for hours... It made him feel pretty bad, really. One, a few weeks after his twelfth birthday, he had a really bad dream. He couldn't remember it exactly, but for some reason, he thought that it had something to do with his mom- his real mom. He ended up talking to his dad about it and, for some reason or another, it sparked the biggest fight he'd seen yet. That night, he went to sleep hoping that he wouldn't have any more nightmares. He got his wish. That night, the woman his father had married came into his room. Suffice to say; he never woke up. At least, not until he found himself on the streets of Shibuya...

Psych: Baby Angel This curious psyche has a unique ability. While it's powers themselves aren't actually all that special, the psyche itself is in that it hold two potentials. The ability changes based on what it's being used on, for example; when used on a player, it displays healing abilities. However, when used on noise, it seems to have an adverse effect, draining them of energy for some reason- though it's hard to say what that reason is, exactly.

(A small note regarding the psyche. It actually works off of a sort of empathetic link between Jenis and the mist, which affects targets based on his feelings towards them. The mist itself is able to redistribute energy, or if need be, solidify itself to an extent.)

Ah, now I see what you meant. lol Well unless another player joins, we'll have an uneven number of Players in the game. As you know from the game, no partner and you're screwed. lol Second option would be one of the already participating players makes a second character and partners with you. I'm up for doing so.

Yea, I'd prefer it if someone else made my partner for a bunch of reasons. Most of them have to do with a lot of words however, and I'm still writing the sheet so you know... Anyways, yea, that sounds great dude.

Name: Haruhi Azekawa
Age: 17
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 122 lbs

Personality: curious and easily excitable around electronics and clothes, highly intelligent and looks down on others seeing them all as inferior to her, somewhat of a shut-in, she has a hard time dealing with others and becomes angry at times
Bio: A technophile if there ever was one and an avid cosplayer. Born and raised in Shibuya like her friend Takuro Ibuki. Aces all of her honors classes without really trying and became bored with the world. She'd sometimes cut class with Takuro. By coincidence, a power line fell on her while she happened to be wandering the streets the same day Takuro was hit by a car.
Pysch: Electricity manipulation

Nicely done. One more question though, will we get any more psyches as we progress?

Just the one. In the game, Neku was the only one able to use multiple. Everyone else only had one. We'll have to see what week two has in store though. If we manage to get that far.

Alright, cool, that makes sense. Anyways, I finished my character. If there's an issue with anything, anything at all, just say so and I'll correct it. Anyways, I'll just go ahead and throw a post out there.

Nope, no problem. Go ahead and post. I'll do my second character's introduction after.

New profile. Reaper this time.

Name: Sakuya Mahiro
Age: 18
Height: 178 cm
Weight: 57 kg
Appearance:

Personality: The raging beauty, Sakuya can always find something, or someone to be pissed off at. She displays her anger aggressively, and thus is not very social. The "best" attitude she will show to others is a cold indifference.
Bio: Having grown up in an abusive houshold, Sakuya finally got fed up and left home. Winding up in a shady part of town, she was killed on the street. She was eventually thrown into the reapers game. But as she cleared missions, she realized there was nothing for her in the realm of the living, so on the last day she chose to become a reaper.
Type: Harrier

Oh nice. She's good looking but I'd better steer clear if I don't want to be erased. lol

Tell me when you guys start a new week. Or should I begin with this one? I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE WAS A TWEWY RP AND I DIDN'T KNOW. *facepalm*

You guys need more reapers. I always love imagining what it would be like to be in there place. I'll use my universal RP dude for this one ^^;

Name: Daren (Guess who? >:3)
Age: 20
Height: 6'2
Weight: 62kg
Appearance:
Personality: Shy, carefree, and not very considering of strangers. His personality twisted darker after he accepted the position of a reaper. Tends not to talk much unless absolutely
Bio: Was admitted to a college the past weeks when strange events in an online world happened. The next thing he knew after a bizarre incident was being in the Reapers game wanting another chance to live. He quickly rose through the missions, finally approaching the chance to live once more, the GM came to him with the tragic news that would make him a reaper to come. His appearance changed through out his positions. Finally, he was promoted to a Harrier.
Type: Harrier

Nice .hack reference. lol If you're playing as a Reaper, go ahead and jump in this week. You won't need a partner so there's no issue.

Seems a lot has happened and with work and my game I can't think I'll catch up to it at once. Are you guys close or almost beginning a new week? Just pm me or something when you do.

Second day of the first week actually.

You don't really have to do a catch up post, just jump right in.

Then I'll join at the 3rd day .-.

I like a fresh start rather than "jumping in" if you guys will excuse me.
