[FallenLeaves]
In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found,
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves, on the ground,
I hitched a ride, until the coast,
To leave behind, all of my ghosts,
Searching for something, I couldn't find at home,
Can't get no job, can you spare a dime?
Just one more hit, and I'll be fine,
I swear to God, this'll be my one last time!
~
I never once thought, I'd ever be caught!
Staring at sidewalks, hiding my track marks!
I left my best friends, or did they just leave me...?
In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found,
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves, on the ground!
Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down,
Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves, on the ground!

Teenagers. Everyone is sick to the back teeth of teenagers. Especially all these 'rebel' ones, who think they're so 'hardcore'. Of course, this is the adults opinions. The teens have a completely different opinion of themselves. Especially this group.
This is the 'misfit' group. Each of these kids had something that makes them different from the others, but not magic powers, or anything. They just look and act different, and are rejected by the 'normal' kids, and they eventually banded together to form the 'oddball' group.
Now, lets get to the point. Halloween. These kids all love Halloween. They don a mask, and are completely different for the rest of the night. And when they're invited to a huge Halloween party, they couldn't be happier. They find their costumes, and make their way to the party, but after half an hour, it's obvious something isn't right.
The party was taking place at the huge mansion just outside of town, and the friends were quickly separated. They didn't mind, but soon, they came to be alone, completely and utterly alone. The sounds of the party faded, and they stumbled through the now dark mansion, unable to find their friends, but knowing that someone, something was following them. A single wail shattered the silence of the night, and while the friends were startled by it, the things chasing them found them, and took them.
Those kids were lost and never found.
They woke somewhere else. It seemed normal enough, until the fog in their head cleared, and they saw where they really were. The sky was an inky black, yet somehow still light, and they knew it was daylight. Surrounded by trees, with leaves fluttering in the wind, and although they constantly fell from the trees, the trees never seemed to lose them. There was a single path, leading one way. So they should follow it, right? Well, they got an even bigger shock after that.
Somehow, they had become their costumes. Whatever they were dressed as, they now were. It was incredible, but at the same time, scary. It would be hard enough if they were normal, never mind some sort of fantasy creature! But, after coming to terms with their predicament, they set off, watched by the unseen eyes in the shadows, eyes belonging to creatures who did not take kindly to the visitors to the Netherworld. Creatures determined to stop them from reaching the only people who could send them home. Creatures who wanted to have some "fun."

You all know the Mary-Sue/God-modding/Romance rules, so follow them, and we'll skip to the shizz that applies to this RP;;
~~Acceptance depends on the detail of your character sheet. Detail is a must, and I don't want any of this 'will be revealed in the RP' crap! You tell me in the sheet, and that's that. If it's not detailed enough, I won't accept you. If I think you'd be a good addition to the RP, I'll ask you to edit it and let you join after you put in enough detail, but otherwise, make a good impression.
~~There's this thing called literacy, ever heard of it? Really? Well then, I'd like to see it! If there's one thing I can't stand, it's posts that look like crap because of all the mistakes in them. Poor sentence structure, bad grammar, obvious spelling mistakes and overall shitty posts don't cut it with me. If it doesn't look good, it won't be accepted.
~~Yeah, so, this is a fantasy RP, and if you can, I'd prefer to see original races, but I will allow some, as long as the creatures aren't the stuff of kids fairy tales. This is that little bit more grown up, dark and twisted. I'd like to see some dark and twisted things.
~~If you get a picture for your appearance, and you have to say "Without the wings/ears/tail" we have a problem. If you can't find a picture you want, write a damn description! If you know what you want them to look like, then write it, don't hunt for a picture and then settle for the closest thing to what you want!
~~There's going to be limited spots in this RP, and it's first come, first serve! You can ask me to reserve you a spot, but if you don't post your character sheet within two days, your reservation will be cancelled, and your spot will go to someone else. You've been warned, so don't bitch if it happens.
~~If you want to swear, fucking go for it!
~~Even gender ratio, dur.
~~Have fun, dur =D

Willow "Will" Beckett
:: A.g.e;;
17
:: P.e.r.s.o.n.a.l.i.t.y;;
Will lives with her head in the clouds most day, always in one daydream or another. She suffers from A.D.H.D, meaning she can go off the rails at times and talk about something completely random, but despite that, she's nice to everyone, but frustrated that sometimes people avoid her because of it. She gets angry and frustrated easily, and has a way of descending into trading childish insults when she runs out of witty things to say. Despite this, however, she's very amiable with everyone, and doesn't care what way they get on; if she likes them, she likes them, and that's that, whatever anyone else thinks about them.
:: B.i.o;;
Will was born an only child. Her parents split up when she was young, and her dad won custody of her. He owned a bookstore, and sometimes struggled with Will after she was confirmed to have A.D.H.D., but when he had to bring her to work, he could often distract her with books. She became very interested in it, and her over-active imagination absorbed everything and everything; she became completely fascinated with Alice in Wonderland and the concept of Wonderland; at six years old, it was her favourite thing to sit in the storeroom of her dad's bookstore and pretend to be Alice, with the mountains of books serving as various parts of Wonderland.
As she got older, she found it hard to make friends with her A.D.H.D., so when she fell in with her current group of friends, it was a relief to find people who accepted her, despite the wildness. As soon as she could, she started getting piercings; her first were the snakebites. As she got older, her passion for books increased, and she started writing short stories, but a short attention span meant she soon gave up on it. She always claimed she was never interested in boys, mostly because they gave her a wide berth, but she always hid a secret affection for one of her friends.
As soon as she heard a Halloween party was being thrown, she told all her friends, having already decided they had to go -- it would be a chance for them all to fit in for the one night, and no-one could know it was them.
:: O.t.h.e.r?;;
Will has a phobia of spiders and needles, and almost has a panic attack whenever either a spider or a needle goes near her, and part of the reason Will demanded they go to the party was so she could finally admit to her friend that she liked them without them really knowing it was her.
:: A.p.p.e.a.r.a.n.c.e;;
Will is quite small, standing at only 5'2", but she doesn't mind being small; what she lacks in height, she makes up for in personality. Her skin is pale, from a lack of going out, and she has quite a few freckles. Her hair is a dark-ish brown, and kept cut to just above her shoulders, with her fringe always swept to the side. Her eyes are a dark blue with hints of green, and because she's something of a trouble-maker, always sparkling with mischief. She went a little piercing wild when she was allowed to get them; she has snakebites, a nose ring, and a septum piercing; she's got her belly-button pierced, a stretcher in one ear, and the other triple pierced on the side, as well as a diamond stud she always keeps in her earlobe.
For her costume, she went as Alice in Wonderland, but from the American McGee's Alice game. She got a black wig, and a dark blue, knee-length dress, with a white, bloodstained apron. She put in contacts for the eyes, so it looked like there was a film over her eyes. She wore heavy, black "terminator" style boots, which also gave her a height boost, to 5'4". She also added a plastic, bloodstained knife to the costume, and a pocket-watch with cracked glass, with fake blood on it, though it still works. She's happy with her costume, because it makes her almost unrecognizable; exactly what she wants.

Alyssa Heart
G.o.o.d .. o.r .. b.a.d??;;
Says she's good; is more or less neutral
:: P.e.r.s.o.n.a.l.i.t.y;;
Alyssa is something of a double-crosser; she can be your friend one minute, and stab you in the back the next. She's a little bit crazy, maybe more than a little bit, but she spends so much time shut away in her own little corner of the Netherworld, it's not all that suprising. Lots of people come to her, good and evil, and although she'll do what she can for the good, if anyone evil makes a request, the day they come to pick it up, she's always slipped away to somewhere else, meaning she's wanted by more than one person for revenge.
:: B.i.o;;
Alyssa wasn't actually "created" in the Netherworld; she was pulled into it, much like the others, but a lot of years back. She'd been out with her friends on Halloween, and all of them were plastered when they were pulled in to it. Apparently, some got out; Alyssa and two others were trapped in the Netherworld.
Before it, they'd gone by different names; Alyssa's was Rebecca Armstrong, and for Halloween, she'd been dressed as a Mad Scientist, with a custom nametag reading Alyssa Heart. Once drawn in to the Netherworld, Alyssa struggled to find a way out, but it wasn't as easy as finding the exit door. She quickly learned the Netherworld was a parallel world to theirs, but not a different world exactly; more that it was made of the imagination of everyone who was sucked in to it, and that it could literally see in to their hearts; it was crafted from the hopes, dreams, desires, fears and nightmares of every person it pulled in. It could thrive on these for a while, but soon, it started to die, and had to suck in more victims to keep itself alive.
Because Rebecca's costume completely took her over, she eventually gave in to Alyssa, and once the exit door to the Netherworld shut, she became part of it, and was awarded a power, like everyone in the Netherworld had. She became a recluse then, hoping to completely shut herself away from the Netherworld, but then she realised what had happened to her had happened again; she was too late to save the other kids that time, but she swore if it happened again, no-one would get trapped there like her again.
:: A.b.i.l.i.t.i.e.s;;
Alyssa can create "puppets" in a way; give them life and take them away, but it is only those whose life she can control. Her mad scientist persona has completely taken her over; what she does is she finds dead bodies and brings them back to wherver she happens to live and then she "recycles" the body; harvests the organs, scalps and skins the body, and picks out bits of muscle, before combining it with her robotic puppets to make a half-human android. She says whether they are good or not, and how long they can live for, but it's only these she can control.
:: A.p.e.a.r.a.n.c.e;;
Alyssa's skin is almost pure white because she only ever goes out at night, and doesn't like to have too much light wherever she lives. She has a few freckles, and her hair is jet black, extremely long at the back with a short, full fringe. She doesn't need glasses, but because they were part of her costume, she wears them constantly. One eye is a dark blue, the other non-existant - she accidentally gouged it out during one of her experiments when she couldn't get the eye out of one of her cadavers. It's just a dark hole where the eye socket should be, and occassionally, she'll hide small needles in there, in case she needs them; she tends to cut herself a lot when creating her puppets, and often stitches herself up. She actually replaced her own heart with a metal one; as a result, there is a huge, heart-shaped scar on her chest that keeps re-opening. She has to stitch it closed every other week.
The only thing she ever wears is a blood-stained lab-coat, with heavy boots and a top with various rips and tears in it; her jeans have been cut away in various placed where more scars are found; apparently, whenever she runs out of skin to graft on to her puppets, she uses some of her own. She literally looks like an old ragdoll, but she can't escape who she's become.
