Introduction

"Hello ____. How far would you go for a secret?"



Image
Image

It's the year 2104. Mankind has had plenty of change as technology furthers its own development- and along it, the concept of virtual reality had come to life within the present world.

Slowly, the concept of physical money died out thanks to the invention of the I.D.C- an Identification Chip installed in a person's body, upon reaching the age of three. The Identification Chip holds most of the information there is to know about a person- name, age, gender, occupation, even money. Nowadays, people just used an I.D.C scanner to subtract and add money, and an I.D.C could be placed anywhere on a person- commonly the hand.

The most successful VR device was a device called the VRMax- now used for a variety of uses, including playing games or even watching movies. Instead of using primitive disks, games and movies have been condensed into microchips that are inserted into the VRMax, though a second method of transfer was made through digital download. Your device would simply have a scanner installed, and they could scan you and send the bought file over to the buyer.

Technology had come very far, indeed.


Image
Image

In hindsight, it should have been a common sight within the bustling malls of your city- men and women, walking around with heavy trench coats or photographer jackets, one hand tucked in their jacket and another on a bag. They sidled up to young people, flash a grin, along with a little mention of "Boss, ex?" Most people would brush them away- some things were still illegal here. But this person- this seller, kept pestering you- turning when you did, waiting patiently outside whenever you stepped into a store to hide. After you had attempted to tell the seller to stop, they only grinned and said- "It has to be you,--" But your thoughts cut out the moment that the seller had told you your own name. A complete stranger, knowing your name.

Your next memory was you stepping into an old, run-down apartment, but what caught your attention was what the seller showed you on the VRMax. Memories of old flames, loves long past, memories of your greatest achievements and moments of embarrassment. The seller promises you more if you buy the wares, but you demand an answer. "Simple," The seller says, then taps your forehead. "Your I.D.C is implanted in your head. It makes it easier to take memories from your I.D.C."


Image
The next thing you remember is you sitting in your VRMax, watching more old memories, from the files that the seller had sent you. At the end of it all you find a file that you can't access- you're about to ask the seller through email what was wrong with the file when he sends you yet another email.

"Good day, ____.

I've been rather bored lately, and I needed something to peak my interest. After browsing your head a bit, I've seen something...very interesting. Do you remember your worst secret? Your secret, that when exposed to everyone you know, could destroy your reputation and everything you have in a flash?

Well- I've sent those out to people who have bought my wares! Haha! Ah, but don't fret- you now have someone's worst secret in the folder I sent you. In your I.D.C, in fact. Remember the file that you can't view?

Now, I've started a game- how far will you go to get that secret back? There are two very simple steps- find the person that has your secret, then get it back. Easy, right? 'Oh, but how do you get it back?' Now this is where this game gets very interesting.

There are two methods around this- you can find the person that has your secret, and beg them for your secret back- or take it by force. That's not my problem. However, there is a second method- find the owner of the secret that you have in your possession, and kill them. I will withdraw your secret and give it back to you.

If this game doesn't start within 4 days of me sending you these files, I will expose all of your dirty little secrets! Ahahaha!

Don't fret- I will be sending you 3 to 5 clues for both the one that has your secret and the owner of the secret in your possession. These are the rules of the game, and I expect you to follow them. They are very basic, after all.

And now...the game starts."


You feel your heart drop to your stomach. The thought of your worst secret, held by an unknown person- that could bring disastrous results. And if you don't move soon, the seller will expose it nevertheless.

You hear your device buzz.

The first clues have been sent in.



Thank you for taking interest in my RP! If you've read this far, the password to join is the secret of your character. A more simplified explanation of the mastermind's rules are:
-Let's take for example, Person A. Person A's secret lies with Person B, and the secret in Person A's possession is of Person C's. Person A can either go to Person B and ask them for the secret back, or take it by force in any way possible. Alternatively, they can find and kill Person C instead, and the mastermind will take back the secret from Person B and give it back to Person A.

"Good day, ____.

What- did you think I was joking? Of course not! I always
hold true to my word. After all, I started a game and I'm not willing to let it die right after I threatened you all with your very worst secrets being shown to everyone in the world! Ahahaha!

Without further ado, here are your first clues--"






The sound of the busy streets of Hanamura during nighttime was lost on the ears of those working within the Ryuunosukes' main building. People within the building of the high-rising business worked almost like clockwork- never stopping from their normal routines. File these, prepare that, answer this e-mail...it was always the same thing almost every single day. On a normal occasion, this would hold true, even for the leader of the Ryuunosuke business himself.

But this was no normal occasion.

6:30 PM. At this time, Gensai Ryuunosuke should be looking out of the window of his living space within the main building, observing the many interactions and movements within the estate. At exactly 6:35, he would then proceed to his desk and handle more paperwork, possibly sneaking in a call with Yukino somewhere in there. By 7:00 he'd be done and have the rest of the hours to his sleeping time at 10:30 for free.

But right now, Gensai stared, puzzled at his phone. Unlike any normal circumstance, he wasn't waiting for a call from any sort of business partners or anything- he stared at the message from the unknown number, containing the clues to start the sick game this...this strange seller has made. There were two problems Gensai had to deal with, on closer look- the first was obviously his secret. He couldn't let the truth of the Fall of the Dragon come to light. He had already taken his steps to making the Ryuunosuke business a fair one towards its competitors, unlike the unjust rule of his forefathers. Had that bastard seller revealed that he had killed both his grandfather and his father, all of that work would be laid to waste, and the entire business would fall with him.

The other problem was something small, and yet so important; someone had let that seller into the Ryuunosuke estate. But who? Was it one of his men? Was it another person entirely? Who did have the rights to get into the estate scot-free, if they weren't working for him? Right now, Gensai had no way to tell.

The man's cool blue eyes swept again and again across the two clues- "Might need some wipers?" Was that person someone who had a car that didn't have any windshield wipers? If only it was that easy- then again, Hanamura was a big city and Gensai didn't want to tire his resources looking for cars that don't have windshield wipers. And knowing how the seller spoke to him that day, it was obvious this was supposed to be some riddle- a riddle that Gensai had no idea how to solve. His eyes shifted towards the second clue- the person who owned the secret in his file.

"The person who owns the secret in your file does not live at home."
"That isn't very useful." It could literally be anything- they could be living in a dorm, or they could be staying somewhere else. Maybe they lived on the streets. Streets weren't considered homes after all. Still, the clue was clearer than the first, and he could at least appreciate the fact that the seller made the second clues easier. Though this still wasn't enough to go off on. At best, he could rely on the idea that perhaps the second person lived in a dorm. He could narrow down his choices to the youth.

Speaking of youth...

He felt his phone buzz and a notification for a new message came up- from Yukino, to boot. His finger hovered over the message for a brief moment- then he slowly tapped it.

Subject: About your endorser...

I got good news for you, Gensai! I just found this great musical prodigy, and judging from how my coworkers say about her, it seems like she's a hit among the younger audiences! I already messaged her about your offer and, well...she said she'd show up at this particular meeting place. Please give her a shot! Her name is Haruka Shinomiya!"


Gensai paused. Did Yukino just really pick her to be his endorser for the newest gadget launch by the Ryuunosukes? He shook his head- she really was that impulsive. He supposed she was doing it for his sake, but still. But at the same time, he should give this musical prodigy a chance- Gensai wasn't one who interacted with the younger people often, so he would let them surprise him this time. And besides, the product launch was literally tomorrow, and he had interacted with the girl every now and then. He had no other choice.

He glanced at his white suit jacket on his coat hanger, and sighed.

Moments later, he had reached the biggest shopping mall in Hanamura- not a place he'd like to be at, considering the amount of people flocking here and there, but this was supposed to be the stage of his product launch tomorrow, and the meeting place where he was supposed to meet Haruka was also within here. He heard rumors of a very skilled hacker hounding this district- that was most likely the seller who had sold off his secret. He gritted his teeth, lowered his head, then briskly walked towards a well-known cafe near the main plaza.

Some people stared as the leader of the Ryuunosuke business stared at his watch, glancing outside the cafe every now and then. All he had to do right now was wait and see- maybe he would get lucky and catch some wind of whoever was in his clues there. After all, the mall was a natural magnet for all sorts of people.

Akemi Horigome was sitting up on her bed in her room. The girl had read and reread the email sent to her over and over again, hoping to whatever god was up there that this was just a sick joke. But the more she read about it, the sicker she got over the idea that someone knew everything about her past and about what she was doing. If that ever got exposed, her social standing would be over at school and her parents could very well make her homeless again. Her blood boiled a little. Who the hell was this person to think they could ruin her life like that? How did they even get the hacking capabilities in the first place? She juat growled a bit to herself as she read the clues yet again.
The person who has your secret hides a clue in their past.
"Jesus, can you possibly be more vague asshole?" To her, that could have meant anything. They were abandoned by their mother, they were homeless at one point, they were unloved; god help her if that clue was that they lied because almost everyone does it. "Alright, to hell with that. Who else do I have to watch out for?"
The person who owns the secret in your file leads a secret life.
Akemi didn't know if she wanted to scream, cry, laugh or break her VRMax right then and there. What the fuck did that even mean? Did it mean that they did nothing fun or exciting in their life? Did it mean they had a happy life? Did it mean that they were so ordinary that they wouldn't stand out. Either way, Akemi burned with anger at the idea that someone with an infinitely happier life than hers was learning everything about her secret. She felt okay with killing them for sure. However, an interesting idea struck her. Sure, she could kill that person and get her secret back or talk to the other secret holder and convince them to give her secret back, but who was to say if the mastermind wanted the game to end after that. For all she knew, she could be dragged back in at any time.
"The second I get my secret back, I'm going to kill the fucker who took it from me in the first place."
After uttering that promise, she decided to take her mind off of the game and think for a little bit. Looking in her wallet, she had quite a bit of cash from her latest amazing grade. Of course, she got someone else to do it for her but she still got the money. She figured some retail therapy could do her a lot of good to clear her mind. As she thought that, she walked over to the big mall in Hanamura, taking a break from doing some thinking on her own for once. She was checking out the latest fashions in a clothing store next to the cafe. She figured after getting some dresses, she would indulge herself with some mocha. But for now, she tried on clothing.

No longer does Isamu Hisoka live his life as a shut-in. It's been a few months (a year? he hasn't been counting) since he last locked himself in his studio apartment for days, weeks, a month on end, leaving only for necessities, like buying food or a new keyboard. No longer is he a simple NEET (though, wouldn't such a phrase describe someone with no job, no plans for college, and who spends most of his free time on the internet?). Normally, a trip outside would be a fresh breath of air—an adventure to be had with each step, though he only started feeling this way after he realized being a shut-in wouldn't do. Though, today, he has no such luxury to imagine what adventures he'll be embarking on.

Just a horrid feeling deep in his guts, making his limbs feel like lead. He feels more and more lethargic with each step, as if the secret he's lost weighs him down. The secret is a brick tied to his ankles (weighing him down, causing him to sink down, down, down, though too far out of his reach to untie and save himself) and the looming threat of its release is the ocean. Just what did I do to deserve something like this, anyways? It isn't even my fault. He sighs, squinting at the email on his phone and reading the contents over and over again. I've been a good boy except for that one thing and now some idiot's got my secret out there, somewhere.

He briefly chastises himself internally. He doesn't know who has his secret, so he shouldn't call them an idiot; after all, they're in the same boat as him, so what right does he have to judge a book by a cover he's never even seen?

A few times, Isamu accidentally runs into someone, and they apologize to him, and it feels wrong to him. These people shouldn't be apologizing to someone who conspired with his scummy spawn-of-the-devil ex (though are they truly broken up?) boyfriend to cover up a murder. If Kaito never got him to join the forum in the first place, it would've never happened. Likewise, if 'The Prince' (whoever this guy really was) hadn't wanted his dad dead in the first place, Isamu would be living a free, happy life. He shakes the thoughts off; no point in blaming others (though Kaito deserves all the damn blame, he reminds himself). He lets the others apologize, ducking their heads and saying things like pardon me, or excuse me, miss! and though he is certainly no 'miss,' he does not correct them.

Finally, he arrives at a cafe inside the mall. A bell doesn't chime when he opens the door, and that disappoints him quite a bit, and he decides to focus on that. The decision to focus on small, insignificant things comes as a comfort and distraction to what horrible things are to come. Since he's here, he might as well get something nice, so he waits in line. One of those cute little coffees with designs in the cream would be nice. I wonder if they can do that here? I could get ZEN's face in my coffee...

Almost as if like clockwork, he closes the email app on his phone and pulls up an otoge app, just to pass the time and to get his mind off of things.

"You understand that part now yes?"

"Yeah, I think I've got most of the basics down. By the way, are you sure you want to go with this arrangement?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, we can change the introduction from D-C-A to C-E-A. Trust me, it'll sound so much better on the guitar."

"Umm...since when do you play guitar, Shinomiya-san?"

"Well, let's just say I've been practicing all week..."

Hanamura State University - 4:30 PM. Dismissal


Class had just finished for the upper high school students of the Hanamura State University and students have started heading out, not to go home but to enjoy the nightlife in the city's various recreational districts. Haruka on the other hand, had a habit of lazing around by the guardhouse for a few minutes before heading back to the dorm, which is a little odd for one of Hanamura's beloved daughters.

"Thing is, barely anyone gives a rat's ass for anyone. They think that just because I'm famous, I'd have press crowding me and fans storming up for autographs on a daily basis. No, life isn't like that--even if you're famous." Haruka punctuated her thoughts with a sigh. "Who am I kidding? I ain't famous. Not one bit. "She" is."

"Hey, Haruka!" A girl's voice called out from behind the bench she was sitting on and in a few moments, she was graced with the company of a taller, long-haired girl going by the name of Karen.

"Karen...I thought you had club?" Haruka asks the woman beside her, taking out her phone in order to check the time.

"Change of plans. I got invited to a mixer so I ditched. Besides, it's not like we're particularly busy right now. School festival's still a long way off."

"Another one? How many does that make it now? 40?"

"Sheesh, this is just the fourth one. You added an extra zero, dumbass."

"Whatever. Well, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be heading out early if you're going to one?" Haruka raises a suspicious eye at Karen.

"It's still a little early and--wait, aren't you the one who's always telling me to arrive fashionably late?"

"You do that after you've scored a date, idiot. Haven't I told you that before?" Haruka sighed as she closed her eyes. Conversations with Karen are always going off-topic.

"What are you, my mom now? Geez..." Karen also sighed as she took a seat right next to her musician friend. "But, no. I don't recall you saying that before."

"That only proves you're not listening. Really Karen, sometimes I wonder if you really are my friend." Haruka teases her friend a little.

"Awww...don't say that! I love you Haruka!" Karen responded to the remark by giving Haruka a big hug which Haruka just lightly brushed off.

"Anyway...aren't you supposed to answer my question?"

"Well, I came over to invite you of course!"

"No thanks."

"Wha--why? You've never turned down a mixer before! Come on, Haruka! With an idol like you in our squad, we'll be sure to score some hot guys!" Karen insists in an almost pleading way.

"I'm a musician not an idol. There's a difference. Anyway. I would love to help you girls out but--" Haruka took out her phone as she explained, showing the Ryuunosuke message to her friend. "Duty calls. A little last minute in fact."

"Endorsement offer from--Gensai Ryuunosuke???!!! That guy's like, uber-rich you know?"

"Yes I know. There's a tarp thanking his company hanging from the school gate remember?"

"Yeah! So what's he doing talking to you?"

"Beats me. Well, I've got to get going. Wouldn't want to be late. Otherwise he might make me walk the plank!" With that, Haruka got up to leave, waving her friend a fond farewell as she walked ahead. "See you Karen! Have fun at your mixer!"

"Be careful Haruka. I've heard rumors about these guys--and they're not good at all. Best to stay on your toes."

Image


Haruka arrived at the bustling mall she was instructed to go to. She wasn't that sure why this man wanted to meet with her in such a public spot. Normally, it would've been in a more private location like a restaurant or their office. Circumstances are practically telling her that calling her was a last minute decision on her client's part.

"Let's see...it should be around this corner--whoah!" With her eyes fixed on the message on her phone, Haruka accidentally bumped into another student which immediately caught her attention. "Oh, I'm sorry!" She immediately apologized. Fortunately, the girl looked okay.

"Hmm? Girl?" Haruka wondered about the person she bumped into. She felt strange. Off somehow. "Well, never mind. Not my business."

She eventually got to the cafe her contact outlined in the message. A rather popular chain frequented by well-known personalities. It is rather known for its high-quality brews...and exuberant, inflated prices. She walked in and took a quick glance. She spotted the man she was supposed to meet sitting on one of the two-person tables and she immediately walked over to take the chair adjacent to his.

"Good evening. Yukino-san isn't around? I thought she'd be the one meeting with me but, I reckon she couldn't make it?" She greeted the man in front of her, obviously not intimidated by his presence. "I heard about the offer. Seemed really last minute though. I take it your company would be providing the equipment at the venue? The studio said they'll be closing early tomorrow so we wouldn't be able to get any of our instruments out."

Class had finished for Eizawa high school half an hour ago, and Nao, like most of the students, had decided to eat outside before heading home. Unlike most of the other students, who left in groups or pairs, Nao intended to eat alone. After hanging out with his classmates for most of the day, doing work and projects and engaging small chat, Nao would much rather have some time to himself for relaxation before heading home. Keeping up pleasantries when you had no idea why 'I saw Mizushiro kissing Tanaka in the courtyard, they're dating! Cute!' or 'Have you heard?! Haruka-san is coming up with a new album!' or 'C'mon, baseball isn't that bad, lets talk strategy and sports!' was so important to others was exhausting. So was feigning just enough interest to prevent himself from looking like a douche, which would just cause him more trouble.

Really... it was so tiring to keep up with people sometimes.

Nao's tiredness wasn't helped by the email he got. Halfway to a ramen shop he liked to frequent, his IDC gave the little bleep that indicated he had mail. Soft rock beating gently in his ears through earphones, Nao pulled up the mail only to see two clues.

??? @ Sent to: Nao Kazurimori
Clue for Condition 1: The person who has your secret reminds one of Kaguya.
Clue for Condition 2: The person who owns the secret in your file still attends school.

...

Unlike people who normally reacted to others having their lifelong secrets in their hands (anger, tears, begging, all encompassing fear that it might get out etc), Nao just blinked at the message as if it were nothing special. Then he sighed and continued to walk towards his destination.

Clues for the Game. Alright. Nao wasn't entirely sure why the person was doing this, but there was no point denying it to be false. For one thing, he had an inaccessible videofile with him, which made the person seem more likely they were telling the truth. For another, Nao didn't want any possibility of his secret getting out. The memory was visible proof that he had committed murder; he had no desire for his and the people he loved lives to be destroyed by that information if it got spread out.

At least the rules were clearcut. The problem would be figuring out who the people were, and what the clues meant. They were too vague; would more clues be coming on the way? And who or what is Kaguya?

Well... he could think about it over food. Nao paused, looking up at the Ramen shop. The shop was painted in dark but elegant colours, with a Japanese feel to it. Of note was the sign which said Ramenplay at the top in gold letters. It was a small place, but it served good food at reasonable prices, which was a lot more cheaper than the cafe opposite it. And more importantly, it had free wifi, which made it a godsend to anyone who was looking for a good place to eat and work at the same time. Shouldering his backpack, Nao strolled into the restuarant.

A waitress looked up, seeing nothing but a guy in a white short sleeved dress shirt and navy pants enter the restaurant. It was clear he was a student stopping by for a bite to eat. "Welcome! Please, have a seat." She said cheerily, store smile on her face as she directed him to a place near the entrance. If he looked out of the side, he could see the mall over the banister. Nao was lucky - the place was packed during peak hours. As it was, while there were people eating an early dinner, there was still space to seat. "What would you like to eat?"

"Shoyu ramen, please." Nao answered quietly. The girl took the order and left, and for a moment Nao closed his eyes and leant back against his seat, taking the moment to relax.

Moment over. Pulling out his IVC, Nao began to look for 'Kaguya', a frown on his face as he conducted his search online.

Once an Item has been created, it can be spawned in the IC using /spawn Item Name (case-sensitive, as usual) — this can be followed with /take Item Name to retrieve the item into the current character's inventory.

Mobs

Give your Universe life by adding a Mob, which are auto-replenishing NPCs your players can interact with. Useful for some quick hack-and-slash fun!

Mobs can be automated spawns, like rats and bats, or full-on NPCs complete with conversation menus. Use them to enhance your player experience!

Current Mobs

No mobs have been created yet.

Spawns

Locations where Mobs and Items might appear.

Events

Re: Stray Memories

AND POSTED

Yeah Nao's just going 'meh' and eating Ramen LOL :'D

Re: Stray Memories

there's cute boys & one girl. & it's for smartphones! it's about a mysterious app you download that is apprently a top secret one & you get roped into doing a dead girl's job

Re: Stray Memories

I'll try to get something up by tmrw. And at the risk of sounding like an idiot... what's Mystic Messenger about? I don't really own any gaming consoles (or any games that cost money - too easily addictive and I literally can't buy them lol) but it still sounds interesting. Any good-looking dudes there? :P

Re: Stray Memories

@guardian aelita - it absolutely was! www i enjoy it a great deal~ i think it's by far one of my favorites...

oh, i'm really excited for this rp!

Re: Stray Memories

@cybernekokaito Hm... I think it's Mystic Messenger. I haven't really played the game myself but I hear it's really good. I guess the only "otome" I've played is Persona 3 Portable but I don't think that counts. XD What do you think of Mystic Messenger?

Re: Stray Memories

wonder if anyone will be able to recognize the name from the otome i was referencing in my post.. www

Re: Stray Memories

I got my post up. I'm going to apologize in advance if I have any spelling errors. That's mainly due to an adorable kitten wanting to be in my lap and business at all times and typing some keys for me with its cute paws. Regardless, how's everyone liking this RP so far? XD

Re: Stray Memories

@sixlilies No problem about being late- I've got a few latecomers too. XD But hey, you have a slight advantage knowing that only two other characters could possibly be your Person A and Person B I guess...? XD

In any case, the first post is up! Due to some scheming collaborating with Saya, Gensai is automatically arranged to meet with Haruka for now...but hey he has enough free time to interact with another person by chance later on? XD

The next day RP time is where our characters converge a second time at the Ryuunosukes' product launch announcement, so that's another chance to find out as much as you can about your possible loveinterests culprits!

Re: Stray Memories

*eeps gently* i submitted my WIP for my kid WAY later than i thought i would, mostly because i was weird and i was trying to finish it all before i submitted it...sorry for the delay. xD it'll be done soon enough, but nevertheless, yasu is just about to be up and running.

Re: Stray Memories

Alright! Since it's now Friday where I am, and my cough has magically went away after a day, I'm proud to announce that I've finished the first clues!

Image

The remaining three characters will just have to catch up and their secrets shall be within the three of them, so Veertje, sixlillies and nosyfatguy will have an advantage...kinda.



Now then! Distribution time for the secrets!

Now then! You guys have the entirety of the Internet and your brilliant minds to use to try and figure out who is Person A and Person B! Stumped yet? I know I am! hahanonotreally

Fun fact: The reason behind me using one too many Danganronpa GIFs is because this entire RP was brought on by me watching too much Danganronpa 3 Future Arc and reading this cool VR story I found.

I wish you guys the best of luck and enjoyment in the RP! First post will be up either tomorrow or if I don't end up passing out due to headaches, later. Once again, enjoy the RP!

Re: Stray Memories

Aight I'm done! Nao Kazurimori is a go \o/

When sick, I suggest vitamin C intake like all other moms. Being sick sucks. Get well soon!

Re: Stray Memories

omg you too? i got sick as well T_T

Re: Stray Memories

Hey guys, we'll most probably start at Saturday. For WIPs and the like, you can try to just enter the RP later on or finish at Friday at best. I still need to grab the randomizer to pick who gets what secret and need to release the clues, which is not the easiest thing to do due to my massive headache and stuffy nose right now. XD

Re: Stray Memories

Thanks! I'm totaly new to this site so I'm just getting along :3
Writing my character right now!


Okee I think I finished it, let me know what you guys think, I don't know if it's a bit over the top?
Do you approve? =)

Role: The underdog
Secret: She is responsible for the death of a foster mother and son. Her twin sister is held captive as a hostage by the father.

Re: Stray Memories

i'd just like to drop in and say i'm so sorry my character's form is taking so long to complete, i should probably go ahead and submit it as a WIP soon. my classes started this week but i'll hopefully be able to get the prince set up pretty soon ;;

Re: Stray Memories

@Veertje All the roles are technically filled, but if you can provide a secret and a new role, I can put a reservation in. :3

Re: Stray Memories

Heyy, is it still possible to join this roleplay? =)

Re: Stray Memories

@Alle9009 Put your reservation in! An arsonist seems like an interesting idea too.

Re: Stray Memories

I don't know why but I always forget to change the WIP status when I finish a character! I'll fix that now though haha

Re: Stray Memories

Would it be alright if I joined? It sounds interesting, and I've got a few ideas. If there's no room tho its cool.

FC: Yoshino from Zetsuen no Tempest.

Secret: He's the cause of the fire that burnt his house down that killed his father, left his brother with burn scars, ruined his mother's legs and nearly destroyed his entire neighbourhood. So far everyone believes that its his dad who caused the fire.

Title: The Firebrand.
