Introduction
The world is governed by life and death. It keeps balance to the population and the alignment between the afterlife. This law also applies to Reapers, those who's job it is to align the order. And as of late these Reapers have been disappearing. These whom are destined to collect souls haven't claimed there duties as of late. This is why you are being called upon. You simple humans whom have never done anything special in your lives are being called. From different parts of the world towards the Reaper's Realm to be trained. Are you prepared? For your sake I hope you are because you have no choice in the matter.
What I Expect to see in character Sheets:
Names:(Obviously)
Age: (Over 8)
Origin:(What country you come from. Can be specific if you wish)
Appearance:(pictures work I do not care.)
Personality: (Can be expanded upon during RPing)
Weapon: (Doesn't need to be a scythe)
Bases Of Roleplay:
Your character is being called to become a Reaper. From you character's point of view you are a bit lost on the matter. But as you are awoken in another realm with a blacked out sky, yet you see clearly as if day. Where you woke up seems odd as it is, a floating island covered in white grass with a large Cathedral made of marble with the texture of bone.
The place you are standing is circular and made of hard stone, almost to dense to be real. You are surrounded by other people who look almost nothing like you. In front of you all stands a old man with a long beard white as ice and a balding head with few hair on the sides above the ears. He wears a monocle in his left eye and his right eye glows a crimson red colour. He wears a long black garb and wears the same stupid smile on his face as if about to tell a hilarious joke. Something about him seems evil yet peaceful.
You stand around for a moment almost scared to move, or even speak. As if the oxygen around you is smothered and dense. Soon the old man begins to speak his voice raspy and calm. "The world is governed by life and death. It keeps balance to the population and the alignment between the afterlife. This law also applies to Reapers, those who's job it is to align the order.

He then gently motions towards the Cathedral. "Find your rooms and meet your new team mates, more will be explained later. And in the morning, Training starts tomorrow."

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 3 authors
Setting
0.00 INK
The training dojo was by far what Soma imagined. He had heard and seen dojos in pictures, anime and descriptions from different people but this was something else. The dojo was actually a immense room. Circular, the room was more like a wide tower, it's ceiling reaching so far up that it took a couple seconds for the echo of Soma's footsteps to reverberate back to him. "Arena" better suited it. It's circular shape was probably to prevent you from cornering your enemy so that you were forced to fight with not only brute force but as well as strategy. "T-this place is huge!" Ookami chuckled at Soma's reaction. "Wasn't what you expected, huh? What. Did you expect some sort of small wooden fighting dojo in the woods or something?"
Ookami turned and sat down in the middle of the floor. Flicking it's tail back and forth, the wolf eyed Soma. "So, have you even fought before?" Soma shook his head. "No. Not a real match anyway." "Well today's a great day for learning!" And with that, Ookami jumped up into a fighting crouch ready to strike. "Alright! Come!" Soma cocked his head in confusion. "What? What are you talking about?!" "If you don't come at me then I'll have to give you some encouragement! Here I come!" Ookami was a blur as it launched itself towards Soma. "Shit!" Without thinking, Soma threw his hands out and absorbed the impact of the wolf hitting him barely dodging the wolf's barred teeth. Bending his knees he let out a grunt and launched the wolf right over him. Ookami landed on it's feet with grace. "Just as I thought." Soma looked at his hands. "Did I just do that?" Ookami again came at Soma. Stopping in front of him, the wolf flicked it's tail out and knocked Soma's feet from under him. "Grahhh!" Again, Soma's mind went blank as his arm shot out to catch his falling body. Transferring all his weight to his arm, Soma managed to flip over from his hand to his feet without falling to the ground. His breathing was heavy and adrenaline coursed through him. "I didn't know I could do that!" Ookami laughed...... or if wolves could laugh then it did just that. "I knew it. I had a feeling you would do this." Soma looked at the wolf confused. "Do what?" "The way you react to attacks. You don't think." "Isn't not thinking in a fight bad?" Ookami sat back down and began to clean it self. "In some cases, yes. If your that kind of person then you will use tactics and observation to face your enemy. But you are just the opposite." "What's that supposed to mean?" "The way you fight is by instinct alone. Instead of thinking and telling your body to react a certain way, your body does it automatically as if it were walking. Were you, in any instant I attacked you, thinking?" Soma blinked. "Now that I think about it, my mind just went blank when I did all those things. But what makes you think I'll do that when I fight?" Ookami grinned that mischievousness smile that it wore so well. "That, dear Soma, is what we are going to find out right now."
Ookami began to glow a bright white. Covering his eyes Soma looked away. The light was insanely bright but strangely warm. As it subsided, Soma turned to look. Ookami the wolf was no longer there. In it's place stood a girl. By her appearance she looked to be no more than 18 years old. Her hair was a stunning bright white. It ran down to her waist freely with a single braid that neatly ran down the left side of her head and the very tips of her hair were a blood red. Her face was that of a goddess, soft and delicate but at the same time her expression had that icy look of a strong willed woman who didn't take "No" for an answer. She was wearing a short sleeved, low necked, tight fitting white shirt that revealed her middle. Her pants, were the same pure white and were baggy and loose fitting. It was quite a stunning sight and Soma struggled to keep his eyes away from her chest as he was having trouble keeping his hormones in check. The girl flipped her hair back and winked at Soma. "Haven't you ever wondered what I looked like as a human? Surprised?" Soma was having trouble finding the right words to say. "O-Ookami?"

Re: [OOC] The last of the Reapers
Alright, I found a picture of Soma's tattoo if you guys are wondering what it looks like. I was looking for the right one and I just fell in love with this one.
Re: [OOC] The last of the Reapers
My apologies :3
Also Also Also. It's kinda taking a bit to get to the second day. (Will probably happen after the fight.) I

Re: [OOC] The last of the Reapers
Okay Esma wins so go ahead and start the fight off of what I said.
Re: [OOC] The last of the Reapers
Hmmm. I see where you guys are getting at. Well, since my character doesn't even know what his weapon is yet, I think it would be fine if he lost his first battle. But just to let you guys know, Soma's armor doesn't appear just yet. Ookami will give him the sword first to fight with and will explain what the armor is for later. So i'm ok with Soma loosing to Esme for our first battle, concerning that he does have a soft spot for her already. haha :P
Re: [OOC] The last of the Reapers
Personally, I'd really like to see Esme win her first battle. I say this not because I want my character to be all powerful, but since she is the only girl I want there to be an aspect of respect for her from the two male characters. I don't mind if she loses a battle after that.
EDIT:
Also, I noticed that my character's weapons are generally less, well, powerful than the weapons of the two male characters. I'm trying to come up with a way to make them change from your average bladed weapons to something a little more Reaper style. Any ideas?

Re: [OOC] The last of the Reapers
Okay we are comin up on a grey area in RP's. Player on player fighting. So I want you guys to decide who wins or if your charaxter will give up now before you begin. Rhat way this RP doesn't dye because of a never ending battle (trust me it happens). So someone be humble and decide who walks away, loses, gets fatigues or how ever you want to end it.
It's your decisoon on how it ends but tell me wgo ends it now. You guys have to agree on it to.
Also these battles won't happen a whole lot, at least I hope

Re: [OOC] The last of the Reapers
Sorry for the amazingly short posts. I'm bad at just speaking roles. Whenever the interesting parts come up I'll get tot he good stuff
Re: [OOC] The last of the Reapers
Brown guy is me right? Lol just want to make sure. I don't want to jump ahead.
Also me and you can have conversation but let's not make it to much, so Matt doesn't get lost :3

Re: [OOC] The last of the Reapers
If it's too much trouble I'll just be the same as the other characters(: I don't want to interfere with any future plans!
Re: [OOC] The last of the Reapers
If you'd like I suppose that would work. But you would have to change your character to someone more confident. Also I have plans for the remaining ones. it was going to be a later plot so in that said plot you'll have to act like you know the people. OR I could make those reapers older then you I suppose.
Re: [OOC] The last of the Reapers
I noticed that in the introduction it said that the amount of reapers were decreasing drastically.
That implies that there are still some left, correct?
Would it be alright if my character was one of the few who was still left? This way our characters would have at least one person who knew what they were doing.

Re: [OOC] The last of the Reapers
Okay I put up the first post...it's a lot. Lol just summary read I suppose unless your in the mood. There is some valuable info on the area of the Castle..or mansion. it seems more like a mansion. Well anyway yeah
Re: [OOC] The last of the Reapers
We can take the Soul Eater approach in which we know each other from our towns but not exactly friends. But we grow closer. How about that.
Also the RP begins after the older gentlemen gives you the intro and you go to your rooms. We will introduce each other then the older man will give us details of our reasons for being there and our goals.
As for weapons, you will find those in your bed. You can say they feel natural to you or you can go ahead and act like you have to learn to use them. Mat I would advice that for you because your armor and weapons are pretty strong and you should find way to balance the strength compared to weaknesses it will bring. If you have some prepared then good.
As for my character he's not a loner as much as he doesn't need friends. He's fine with them or without them.
So to sum up: Your first post should be about your character's feelings for being there. Going to your rooms. Finding your weapons. And the meeting back in the lobby for a briefing of sorts on what this roleplay will be all about.
Sound good?

Re: [OOC] The last of the Reapers
I was thinking about that myself. I think it would be interesting for us to just arrive an meet each other than us being thrown into an RP where we have known each other for awhile. :3
Re: [OOC] The last of the Reapers
oh right. question.
are our characters JUST arriving or have they been there for a while now?
