Introduction
For generations, the Sohma family has lived with a terrible and inescapable curse. They have struggled to survive under the oppressive rule of a bitter God and to deal with their own handicap in the modern world. They have struggled to obey the laws of their way of life, and to keep their secret hidden from the rest of the world.
Above all things, the one thing that God most hates is when a member of the Zodiac falls in love. He sees it as a way of stealing his precious subjects, from right under his nose. He will destroy anyone who tries to “take his zodiac away”.
But is it possible? Is it really possible to keep from loving someone?
~!~!~!~!~
In this roleplay, you will be your own members of the zodiac. None of the canon characters; Yuki, Kyo, Shigure, Ayame, etc.; will be included in this roleplay. Think of it as a story that happened before the actual Fruits Basket series.
Your characters should follow the character skeleton provided. If you want to reserve a character, you may message me or comment on the OOC thread. Let it be known that I will probably see my messages first…

It brought a strange feeling.
Claustrophobia?
Yes. That might be it.
"Come see me when you're done here, Takumi," He commanded.
And without another word, the God turned and strode down the hall in the way he had been going to begin with.

Jasper's nerves started to ease a little more once Riko was out of sight. She raised both of her hands to her forehead, and started to rub her temples. She absolutely hated Riko, and with a passion.
