Hey everyone! Sorry about this, I had to go and I couldn't be at a computer for like the whole day. Raven originally posted my RPG, but I wanted to be able to edit it, so he took it down. Here it is, but I'll change a few things later. Since a few of the more popular RPGs around here are drawing to a close, I decided to create one of my own. It’s based around an idea from the video game, The World Ends With You, but I’ve added my own twists to it. THE WORLD ENDS WITH US Genre: Sci-Fi, Fantasy Story: It all starts…when you die. You awake to find yourself lying on the street in a crowded city. All around you, people are talking, laughing, crying…basically, living. But no one notices you. You wander around, trying to get attention, but you are unseen. Suddenly, you are attacked by a group of strange creatures. You realize that you have powers, but you will need more than that to survive. For you are a Player in the most deadly game since rugby…the Reapers’ Game, where the losers are erased…forever. Each character begins by dying. When they wake up, they find themselves in a city, where they are invisible and cannot interact with others. They are in the Reaper’s Game, where the winners receive another chance at life. However, to enter this game, the Players have to give up the thing that they care about the most. So, if they win, they come back to life and keep the thing/person/thought that they care about the most. But if they should lose…they are erased forever. Each Player will have seven days to complete the tasks that the mysterious Reapers send to them via text message. Each Player has a special power, which can be chosen here. Structure: While the entire game is supposed to take place over a week, it's not really a week in real life. The day "ends" when the mission is completed. The beginning missions will be easy for your characters to complete, while the later ones will be more difficult. The Reapers (the Gamemasters...really, me) will send you text messages (really I'll PM you) for specific missions that only you will have to complete. Later in the game, your Players may be allowed to become Reapers if they wish. Date: I can't say until I see how many people join...right now...seven. Rules: -All the normal stuff: no flaming, insulting, all that bad stuff. -Although you have powers, don't make yourself godlike. Just don't. -Don't control other people's characters unless you ask permission. Then it's fine as long as you stay in character. -I don't really have a problem with one line posts, just try not to do them so often. -Use good grammer. I don't want to see: he wallked into room and turned on light RPGs are also to improve our writing skills, so don't do the above. -Ask me for questions. Yeah, that's about it. Map/Locations: Scramble Crossing: The huge crossing and bustling center of town. All Players awaken here and this where much of the action takes place. Great place for observing people. Statue of Hachiko: The statue of a dog, famous in Japan. Rubbing it is supposed to bring you good luck. Shibuya Department Store: A huge store filled with expensive things. There is a large jewelry store here. 104 Building: An popular building filled with arcades and shops. Dogenzaka: A housing development. Perfect for coming up with plans and talking with others. A-East: A pet store. Contains many exotic creatures. Shubukyu Main Store: Contains many things for everyday life, like food and such. Center St. Entrance: Another bustling location, contains an information kiosk. AMX: A store known for its advanced technology and gear. Tipsy Tose Hall: Backstreets filled with clubs and bars. Spain Hill: An area populated by tourists; there are some great restaurants. Shibu-Q Heads: A place where kids hang out and play card games or sports. Udagawa Back Streets: An unsavory place where criminals and thugs stake their turf. Molco: A store focusing on transportation. Cadoi City: A “city” inside of Shibuya. Many apartments and housing developments are here. Towa Records: Sells music and CDs. Miyashia Park Underpass: A large bridge that allows people to get to the park. Miyashia Park: A large and scenic park. Cat Street: The location of Mr. H’s café. West Exit Bus Terminal: Where the tourists arive. The Noise The Noise are the enemies fought in the RPG. They are personifications of the emotional struggles faced by humans in the world. They look like animals with inverted colors and tattoos across their bodies. -Anger Noise: Created by anger, they look like giant bears. -Jealousy Noise: Created by jealousy and envy, they look like lizards. -Greed Noise: Created by greed, they look like rats. -Lust Noise: Created by lust, they look like cats. -Pride Noise: Created by excessive pride, they look like lions. -Depressed Noise: Created by sadness and depression, they look like snakes. -Sloth Noise: Created by boredness and laziness, they look like...sloths. -Taboo Noise: The most powerful and evil Noise, they are created by people who are evil just for the sake of being evil. It is forbidden even for Reapers to summon them. You have 5 points to spend on powers. Later in the game you can gain new powers, but these are just for starters. So it might be smart to conserve points for when more powers are available. Each power costs a point, for example, to get Lv2, you'd have to also get level one, so that would cost two points. You can only go up to LEVEL 3 for any power for now. Super Strength Lv1: The character is slightly stronger than the average human. They probably lift weights or play sports. Lv2: The character has the strength of a football player. They’re pretty strong and can lift heavy things. Lv3: The character has the strength of a bodybuilder. They can lift things that are almost impossible for humans to lift. Lv4: The character has super-human strength. Punching enemies into walls? They can do it.

Lv2: The character can fly relatively-high, but not as high as a skyscraper. Lv3: The character can fly almost anywhere they want to.

Healing (Self) Lv1: The character can heal small cuts and bruises on themselves. Lv2: The character can heal broken bones and diseases on themselves.

First Post Steven Hanekoma sat at the bar, wiping the table and smoking a cigarette. He glanced at the clock on the wall. “It’s almost time.” He snuffed the cigarette and leaned back in his chair. “Another week, another Game. Hopefully the old Conductor doesn’t have anything too dangerous planned. I’d hate to see a repeat of the Phones incident.” “Don’t worry, Hanekoma, this won’t be like last month.” H turned around to see Kitaniji sitting on the seat next to him. “Ah, Kit, nice to see you.” “You lie.” H sighed. “Yeah, you’re right. You don’t really come out much, you know.” “Another game is starting, you know. This one is sure to please the Composer. I’ve got some real promising Players this week.” H got up and headed to the back of the bar and pulled a beer from the fridge. He turned around and sat back down next to the Reaper. He popped off the top and took a long gulp. “You planning to get some more Reapers?” “I always do,” answered Kitaniji. “Who’s this week’s gamemaster?” H asked. “I’ve…decided to shake things up a bit. Every day this week will have it’s own gamemaster. I’ll be the last day’s master, obviously.” H raised his eyebrows in surprise. “Really? That’s unusual. Anyway, who’s today’s master?” “Jamie. I’ll let her weed out the weaklings first.” “That should be interesting.” Kitaniji smiled. “Yes. Although her mission has to be easy, I’m sure she’ll add her own dangerous twist to it.” H belched and put down the glass. “Well then, let’s get started, shall we?” Don't post yet.
Attention Players: Welcome to the Reaper’s Game. I’m sure you all know the basics, but for those who don’t, I’ll inform you. This is the Reaper’s Game. The city you are in right now is known as Shibuya, a sector of Tokyo in Japan. You have 7 days to finish the game, or you will be erased. The Winner of the Game will receive a way out of the game and back into the world they once knew. However, it won’t be easy. You will have to deal with the Noise, creatures created by the negative emotions in others. While the others cannot see or hear you, you can influence their thoughts by implanting ideas in their measly heads. Complete each day’s mission to enter the next day. Fail, and be erased. Good luck. (Make sure your first post explains how you wake up in the city and what you remember after dying. Your powers are not active until you partner up. You must be continually attacked by the Noise before teaming up. You may see other Players being erased, as long as they are not the “real” Players who are doing this RPG.)
DAY ONE GAMEMASTER: JAMIE MISSIONS: -Partner up with another Player. Powers will not activate without a partner. (Discuss in Discussion Thread or PM other players to ask to be partners. PM gamemaster partner pairs). -Fight off the Noise…they’ll come for you. -Defeat Gamemaster -(Bonus Mission) Solve riddle and PM Gamemaster the answer. First three to answer correctly will gain a Power Point. What can run but never walks, has a mouth but never talks, has a head but never weeps, and has a bed but never sleeps? Three have already answered. The riddle bonus is now null and void. -Must complete missions in order. Failure=Erasure. Now you can post.
"Swoosh!" "Bam!" "Hurray!" Those were the voices first heard by me as I laid motionless on the street. I couldn't feel anything at first, and when I did it seemed like someone had tried crushing me under a rock. I kept down, giving in to the pain which was amazingly excruciating. Suddenly, a bat-like creature hovered above me and I found it necessary to show symptoms of fright. "Oh God!" I screamed, and jumped to a wall behind me. I tried recalling getting here, but in vain. The bat took its chances on me and headed straight into me. I grinned stupidly and ducked the attack, and the somewhat blind - completely blind, actually - bat hit the wall. I found it be just a start of my terrors. I didn't remember coming here, that was for sure. I just remembered the doctor giving me two sets of drugs for my leukemia treatment - an anesthetic, and a cancer drug. I had slept in fairly well, and it seemed to me that this must be a dream too. However, to my surprise - the pinching technique had failed. So had the 'realization' technique. If I wasn't dreaming, then why and how was I here? God, this didn't exist, did it? A paranoid looking man ran towards me, having a grizzly bear's array of teeth. I screamed and ran towards the road, almost running into a car. "Hey, watch it blackie!" I eyed them scornfully. Why, this place was just awful - and racist! I found myself running like a completely crazy woman towards the subway. Well, I was running until I tripped over this guy. He seemed to have been asleep, his white tank top crumbling under my weight. "Nice place to sleep in." I grinned worriedly as the man started waking up. The paranoid man was still coming for me, and I had particularly no idea what to do.
A large crashing noise, his face going over the steering wheel... that's all Rob could remember. He was driving... somewhere.... he didn't remember where. He stirred a bit, but found he was in a deep sleep that was hard to shake off. Then, he was suddenly thrown from the darkness and woke up with a start. He looked around and found he was lying on a street. He heard a girl say something, but his ears seemed to not pick up much sound. Groggily he sat up and saw a black woman slightly older then him smiling. Smiling? Why was she smiling. He got to his feet, still a bit dazed. "I don't mean to be blunt hon, but where the f*** am I?" She seemed worried about something, looking over his shoulder. Easily seeing the signs of distress, he turned around to see some crazy guy and a bat heading at them at full speed. His first instinct was to run, which is what he did. He headed down the stairway to the subway, oblivious that he was no longer in California...
"Where in the hell am I?" I muttered, the scenery came in slowly, it was like waking up from a drunken night that ended with a brawl. Recollections washed over me. Faintly watching myself dropping into a bathub with overloaded extension cords and other electrical devices wrapped around my body. The hatred I felt for the people who brought me to my demise. Never had I thought one person could ruin my entire life. Getting up and back to this.... reality? I moved slowly out of the ally I awoke in. The few people around me ignored my calls. They walked on unbothered by my existence. I decided to stay to the sidewalk, until I saw the neon glow of a sign that states "Shibu-Q Heads". Walking upto the building the doors opened a young kid, probably early teens, came walking out with his head held high and a grin on his face. Another kid from inside the building, started to panic, he frantically searched around for something. "What the hell?!" I exclaimed. Large rats were coming out behind the first teen. Running fast they chased after me. I tryed pushing the kid out of the way. I couldn't even muster a flinch out of him. So I ran, with rats chasing after me, down the street.
