[center] [h3] The Fate of Ward 8[/h3][/center] [hr] Tokyo, a city of wonder. Of horror. Of choices. Filled with normal everyday people, something darker hides beneath the surface. The entirety of Tokyo has been divided into Wards to help combat this darkness more easily. Ward wide evacuations aren't very common, but common enough to stick in the back of your mind. Sectional evacuation of city blocks happen fairly frequently. Investigators from the CCG are a familiar, and reassuring, sight. But still that darkness lurks. Ever prominent. Ever looking over your shoulder. That darkness is called.... [I] Ghouls.[/I] [hr] So, let's get straight into the details, shall we? This RP is built off of choices. Always choices. Will you be a human, an Investigator, or a Ghoul? Before you decide anything, however, let me give you a crash course of the terminology, the setting, and a few specifics that you'll need to know. At the bottom of each section will be a link to a Wiki page containing more information for anyone looking to be more in-depth with their creations. [Hider=Humans] [Img]https://usercontent1.hubstatic.com/12887512_f496.jpg[/img] Regular ol' humans. Nothing out of the ordinary, and what you would expect from an everyday person in 2017. They run shops, work jobs, have fun, and aren't very sturdy. There's really nothing else to put here, but the option is available to anyone who wants to play a human. [/Hider] [Hider=Investigators] [Img]https://s1.zerochan.net/Mado.Kureo.600.1921171.jpg[/img] [Img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/c9/a6/23/c9a623932dd54af0c094e2d3569d2d6d--read-tokyo-ghoul-tokyo-ghoul-manga.jpg[/img] Investigators, called Doves by the Ghoul community, are humans working for the CCG. They have rigorous anti-Ghoul training, including combat techniques and extensive knowledge to help them to both find and kill Ghouls. Most Investigators are stationed at the CCG HQ in the first Ward, though are often approved for missions in the various Wards. Upon graduating training, they enter as a Rank 2 Investigator. Occasionally one will be deployed before graduation though special orders and are a Rank 3. New Investigators are generally partnered with a senior Investigator or with a Squad to continue their training in the field. They are sorted by rank, as follows highest to lowest. [Hider=Ranks] [U] Senior Investigator Ranks [/u] [List] [*] Special Class Investigator [*] Associate Special Class Investigator [*] First Class Investigator [/List] [U] Junior Investigator Ranks [/u] [List] [*] Rank 1 Investigator [*] Rank 2 Investigator [*] Rank 3 Investigator [/List] [/Hider] [Url=http://tokyoghoul.wikia.com/wiki/Ghoul_Investigator] Investigator Information [/url] Given that Investigators are only human, their main form of combat against Ghouls are Quinque.[/hider] [Hider=Quinque] [Img]https://i.pinimg.com/736x/8e/cc/17/8ecc172460cd11b081f244da2d0f2f6c.jpg[/img] Quinque are handheld weapons used by Investigators to combat Ghouls. These are made from a defeated / captured Ghoul's Kakuho and as such take the exact same properties as the Kagune they were created from.

Unable to properly digest regular food without becoming horribly sick (the exceptions being water and coffee) Ghouls must feed on humans to survive. While some scavenge from suicides and accidents, many prey on the living to sate their bloodlust. Not feeding results in madness, at least until they feed, turning the Ghoul into a feral being with the singular purpose of feeding. They come with enhanced strength, stamina, hearing, speed, and senses like smell are greatly increased. Based on the three types of Kagune, each Ghoul also may come with increased speed, strength, or regeneration even beyond the regular enhanced abilities. Ghouls are only different from Humans in appearance by their eyes, which they have control over when they change (as seen above). When they unleash their Kagune or feed, their eyes change automatically. Ghouls also cannot be harmed through regular means. A knife will not pierce their skin, nor do regular bullets. Special bullets, called Q-Bullets (which I will not include in this RP), can injure them. Kagune and Quinque can cause damage as well, and the brute strength of a Ghoul can injure another Ghoul, either by contact, piercing skin, or blunt impact. Falls from great heights, or strong enough impacts, can also injure them. Furthermore, Ghouls have Enhanced Regeneration, healing minor wounds and fractures in seconds to a day, which is further heightened by recent feeding. Ghouls also wear masks when going out to feed and accomplish tasks or fights, generally speaking, to protect their Identity. This often results in an Alias if Investigators see them.

There are four types of Kagune, which form a circular Rock-Paper-Scissors type of connection. Every Kagune is slightly unique in both looks and functionality, but have common features based on their types. These types are ukaku, koukaku, rinkaku, and bikaku, and each have different strengths and weaknesses. [Hider=Ukaku] The Ukaku is spread out like feathers and is released from the shoulder area, it specializes in high speed attacks, most of the users seeming to have highly enhanced speed with limited stamina. The Kagune itself can become very flexible or crystalized for long range projectile attacks, but close range is this type's weakness. These are also generally limited to a max of two wing-shaped forms. Ukaku users cannot fight for extended periods of time, as their increased speed and flurry attacks drain stamina quickly. They're great against the Bikaku, but suffer against the defensive of Koukaku. [/Hider] [Hider=Koukaku] The Koukaku is released below the shoulder blade. Due to its high density of Rc cells, it is heavy and extremely robust, giving it the greatest sturdiness and making them very well suited for defense. Normally, they are generally shaped into armors or shields, but on the offense they can be shaped like melee weapons. These can range from swords, drills, and other relatively close range weaponry. These are generally limited to one shape along one arm. These are considered the slowest Kagune, and suffer against the High power of Rinkaku users whole outlasting the Ukaku. [/Hider] [Hider=Rinkaku] The Rinkaku has an appearance similar to scaled tentacles and is released at the back around the waist, and also has the best regeneration abilities. Being incredibly powerful and versatile, they are best used in short to mid range combat. Some users can heal from critical injuries, and a skilled user can manipulate the shape of the tentacles into claws or blades. These can form up to 8 tentacles, with 4-6 being the average. However, many Rinkaku users can bond their tentacles into fewer, but larger, tentacles for increased defense and power. The Rinkaku is weak, however, in general defense and easily broken in their regular state against the Bikaku while excelling against the slow Koukaku. [/Hider] [Hider=Bikaku] The Bikaku typically has a tail-like appearance and is released around the tail-bone/coccyx. Considered the most balanced of the Kagune, there are few immediate weak points. There can be up to 14 tails, and as few as one, with 1-4 being average. The Bikaku excels against the Rinkaku due to the balanced 'Trump' like qualities it possesses, but is at a disadvantage to the superior speed and long range abilities of the Ukaku. The Bikaku is also preferred to be used to create Quinque for inexperienced Investigators. [/Hider] [Url=http://tokyoghoul.wikia.com/wiki/Kagune] Kagune Information (Much more in-depth) [/url] [/Hider] [Hider=Basic Miscellaneous Information] Ghouls can cannibalise, which generally can increase a Ghoul's power. In this RP, however, this will be incredibly looked down on, and will increase your priority as a target to the CCG and fellow Ghouls. The CCG assigns threat levels, prioritising against S rated threats such as highly powerful Ghouls, One-Eyed Ghouls, and Binge-Eater / Gourmet Ghouls (all covered below). There are hybrids, which are Half-Ghoul, Quinx, and Half-Human. I won't go into a lot of detail on the Human hybrid or Quinx, as I don't plan on them being a part of this RP. If you're interested in a Half-Ghoul, you'll need to convince me because: [Hider=Half-Ghoul] Hybrids are extremely rare, and extremely powerful. Created either by having a human and Ghoul parents, which normally can't breed. On the few cases where they can, normally both child and mother end up dying, but when they don't...a Hybrid is created. They can also be artificially created by surgically taking Ghoul parts and replacing the human counter parts in a human host. All hybrids come with a normal eye and a Ghoul eye, hence being called One-Eyed Ghouls. A hybrid is barely different from a regular Ghoul, minus the eyes and being more powerful. Some smell like humans, other like Ghouls, and some smell like a mixture of both. [Url=http://tokyoghoul.wikia.com/wiki/One-eyed_ghoul] One-Eyed Ghouls Information [/url] [/Hider] [Hider=Binge Eaters] Binge Eaters are Ghouls who feed excessively (an average Ghoul only needs to feed every 3-8 weeks). This can be feeding on several bodies at once, or feeding as often as every day. Gourmets, on the other hand, feed in an arena / over-the-top manner. Usually large groups, and usually looking for unique subjects to feed on. Highly cannibalistic.

Any questions, feel free to ask. [Hider=Rules] Basic rules to follow: [List] [*] No auto-hitting major / critical attacks. That is to say that you can't severely injure an enemy without giving them a chance to avoid it. [*] Take damage! It's no fun, nor true to the nature of Tokyo Ghoul, to always, or almost always, avoid damage. I will be monitoring this, and will drop the GM Law on those guilty. [*] No metagaming. Please try and keep your knowledge and the knowledge your character has separate. [*] Posts need to be at least a paragraph in length. If you can't manage it, perhaps a colab is on order? [/List] [/Hider] Last bit of information to know: Pretty well everything will be taking place in Ward 8, which is a peaceful and quiet Ward for the most part.
