This RP will be based on the anime Death Note, with some twists created by me. There will be multiple characters that all have Death Notes and Shinigami' (if I grant them one, which will be controlled by me or the coGM) that either assist them or stand in a neutral place with their human's activities with the death note. There are the main characters but there will also be secondary characters who interact with the main characters and are influenced by their actions with the Death Note.
The RP will take place in Roseburg, Oregon; not in Japan like the actual anime. A group of high school students will have stumbled upon the Death Notes (not knowing what they are) and pick them up. In the first stages of the RP, the characters with Death Notes will be testing them out and slowly discovering the power they have. (Whether or not the characters are friends is up to the players. You guys can work that out in the OOC as far as interactions go.) I will begin the RP with a description of the campus, classes and the city the high school is in and you guys can work off that. I may also stage the fight/disagreement where the Shinigami' dropped or purposely left their notes at to give some backdrop. Some of the names of Shinigami will be from the actual anime, which you guys may recognize and others will be made up names I've conjured.


RULES

1. 90% of the time, what I say (or what the coGM says) goes. If you would like to discuss something, PM me or the coGM and I will be more than happy to attempt accommodation.
2. Do not attack other characters without approval.
3. Do not attack NPC without clearing it with me. I don't want random destruction.
4. If you are unsure about something ask and I will answer to the best of my ability.
5. If you have a suggestions let me know and I will consider them.
6. No fighting in the OOC. I don't mind discussions and disagreements.
7. If anyone is gone longer than 7 days without notice, I may take over your character or just throw you out.
8. Use the mention button. It helps people know your talking to them. Especially me.
9. Internal thoughts are great but please make them appear different from your spoken words. I don't care if you use color or italics or bold.
10. No god modding.
11. Please no walls of text. Separate your paragraphs with indents or enter key it down.
12. Please PM me your character sheets and after they are approved, you may post them in the char tab.
13. There will be 7 main characters and some other minor/side characters and Shinigami'.
14. When naming your character or Shinigami (if I grant you one) please be creative. No extremely boring and simple sounding names.
15. You may have pets that follow you around throughout the story, as long as it makes sense with what's going on around you and they fit into your backstory.

Love it! sending you my character in a few minutes.

I have one proposal for the game. Put the setting in the past. Say 1970's-90's. Will give us a lack of technology and a greater dependence on face to face interaction (how can you kill people en mass if you have no internets?). Give it a roll over in your mind.

Sounds fine to me. I'd probably prefer the 70's, 'cause I'd rather it be farther back then not. Might add an interesting dynamic, as some people might have to frantically Google the level of technology that was available during that time. Though that might just me being more pessimistic then not.

Also, I have a name ;-; I'm not defined by my occupation

Just to let everyone know, the first IC post is up. No one has found a Death Note yet so whatever your character is doing when you guys post, dont mention anything about them or have any knowledge of them. Once I see a couple of these, I will do another post in the Shinigami Realm. Your characters could be in school, sitting at home or in another location doing something else.

@Major Ursa
Uuuummm. . . I'm not sure. I will have to ask my coGM @solokolos what he thinks about that. Originally, we were going to control the Shinigami but if you feel like you could handle playing as one, then maybe. Maybe you should sub to the RP and watch it for a while and I will get back to you?

If it were me I'd burn the Death Note, partly because I have no use for it, partly because no one should have it and mainly because Id wanna see if it can be destroyed

Ehhhh if shinigami are gonna be as central to the plot as I'm sure they're planned to be, then it might be troublesome to have that agency being controlled by player character. However I am not directly against it per se.

[edit]
Are we free to post characters or are we going to wait until all characters are assigned/more of the base story is written?
