[center]On the fateful days of October 4 and 5 of 1986, the prosperous Ushiromiya family and the others on the island of Rokkenjima, all 18, were brutally murdered, and the culprit of the murders was never found. Concerning the manner of the setting, this was infamously dubbed the "Witch's Legend Serial Murders," in the mentionings of the Golden Witch Beatrice. How this was even found out to the public eye was the findings of a wine bottle at the shorelines a few days after the murders took place, the single note of one of the victims, Maria Ushiromiya. This was her note:[/center]

[center][b]"By the time you have read this, I will probably be dead.
The only difference will be whether there is a body or not.
You who have read this.
Please find out the truth.
That's my only wish."
—— Ushiromiya Maria[/b][/center]

[center]To this day, truth be told, no one can ever figure out what happened on those two fateful days, and remains a cold case with no sign of evidence to uplift the slow investigation.[/center]

Nearly 30 years later, in the year 2014, 18 randomly selected people would receive an envelope with a one-winged eagle seal, and would see that they are invited to Rokkenjima Island. Whether they know of the incidents that's occurred there or not, something would tell them to go, and so they did. These new 18 individuals, will they figure out the mystery of the Witch or will they perish to the Witch's game?

So that's pretty much what I had in mind so far. Keep in mind, your characters are prone to die in this, as this is a murder mystery roleplay. But don't worry, given the nature of Umineko, once we "reset" to a new arc, your characters will be alive again. Clearly this is a roleplay with original characters, I'll handle using the Witches, which should be the only canon Umineko characters in this. This is a rough idea, so things are subject to change, but any takers?
