"Harukaze-san? Why did you stop?" Asuka froze mid-step as the answer to her question quite literally appeared before her eyes a few yards ahead in a puff of black smoke. She hadn't been paying too much attention while crossing the school grounds towards the dorms - it was early evening and plenty of students were out and about enjoying themselves on the green. She'd nearly been hit in the head by the same Frisbee twice just in passing the large green by the cafeteria, and it had been all she could do to keep her significantly more short-tempered friend - she supposed it was right to call her a friend now, anyway - from severely chastising the responsible parties for their lack of awareness. But, as she didn't know anyone here at this school, it wasn't like it was terribly important for her to pay much attention to them. After all, she knew her sister wouldn't be roaming around aimlessly on her own this late. If she was going to be anywhere, it would be shut up in her dorm, probably either napping or doing something stupid like building a pillowfort. Or napping inside of a pillowfort. Truly unpredictable.

As a result however, she hadn't really noticed that she did, in fact, recognize a few members of a small group conversing under a tree to her left. At least, that is, until one of them literally teleported in front of her, and, although he didn't seem to notice her immediately, Asuka immediately cursed her bad luck under her breath and turned to face her traveling companion. Harukaze's amber eyes alternated between staring at the bricks of the pavement as though they were the most interesting things she'd ever seen in her life, and taking sheepish glances at the back of the tall, blonde boy who was just obliviously running his mouth a few yards away. Her face quickly shifted from a shocked white to a significantly more vibrant hue of red, and she breathed a quiet sigh. Asuka couldn't help but sympathize. If she'd gotten in such a humiliating fight with someone she'd once been close to, she wouldn't have wanted to see them either.

Asuka cocked her head slightly, motioning to a small path between two of the science buildings separated from the courtyard by a retaining wall and a very tall hedge. Creeping away as quietly as possible, with Harukaze doing her best to avoid scraping her crutch as she walked, Asuka guided her friend to a bench and motioned for her to sit down.

"Well? What do you want to do?" She asked after a moment of silence. "He's kind of right in the way of getting to the dorms. Should we just ignore him and go on our way?"

Harukaze shook her head.

"Then do you want to sneak past, or try talking to him, or-" She got no further, for the dark-haired girl, having regained her composure, raised a hand and motioned her to stop.

"I'm sorry. Could you... please... go apologize to him for me? I caused him a great deal of trouble the other day, and... it's only right that I should be sorry. And... if you would... tell me what he says?"

Asuka breathed a quiet sigh, but didn't object, giving a quiet nod. Normally, she made a policy of not interfering in people's personal affairs, but this was something of a matter of honor for her. After all, she was staying at Harukaze's apartment, and she had taken good care of her older sister. Besides, she had to admit that she was curious to see just what the hell had happened between them to cause the outburst she had seen a few days ago. Maybe from that, she could figure more out about her sister and why she'd said the things she did. It wasn't exactly a becoming trait to be nosy, but, well, at least she'd know, right?

At least, that was what she told herself, but even she, confident and thoroughly disaffected though she might have been, couldn't help but feel slightly uneasy at approaching someone she barely knew about a matter she had no part in. How had she let herself get roped into this? Well, at least the girl from the other day was also there. She'd seemed like a sensible sort, and seemed to have a good head on her shoulders. That might make entering their conversation a little bit easier.

"Excuse me," She piped up quietly from behind the boy who was the root cause of all this. She had only a moment to contemplate the best way of bringing this to their attention. As matters stood, she felt that she only had two options. She could rush directly to the point and address the boy directly and just get this over with. It'd probably be something like one of those old American detective shows she loved watching, like "Excuse me, but are you Mr. Haven? I have a message for you from a client." Pfft! As if. No, she had a much better plan. Although, that wasn't exactly a high bar. Acting like this always tired her out, but nevertheless, she'd already dug herself in this deep... Might as well keep it up and see what she might unearth, right? Thankfully, she and Haruka had approached at a rather odd angle, not managing to come anywhere near the tree the group were standing under before turning off, meaning they probably hadn't been noticed. And, if they had, it probably - she hoped - wouldn't look weird for her to come back to converse with someone she'd met before.

So, she embraced her role with gusto, and entered... Gal-mode. My ultimate forbidden technique, sure to land me any hot guy I desire. This state burdens my mind immensely, similar to trying to discover who the killer is by the second episode. It shortens my lifespan every time I use it, so I sealed it away. it's only supposed to be a trump card used to- ...And what the hell am I even thinking right now?

"Ah, that is you, Kasuke-san! I knew it!~" She declared with an obviously unaffected relief and a slight hint of girlish cheerfulness that was so painstakingly crafted as to be almost unquestionably genuine. "It's me, Motome, from the other day." She gave a bashful giggle with perfect timing, scratching her head with supremely innocent nervousness. "Oh, but my sister's also Motome, so you can call me Asuka if that's too much of a hassle. Anyway, I'm really sorry to bother you when you're in the middle of something, but could you help me out? I don't really know anybody around here except my sister, and I can't find her anywhere. I think she might be at the dorms, but I don't really know where that is, and- Oh!" She stopped herself, only just seeming to notice Jett. She let her smile slip a bit, giving a deliberately forced expression as if unsure of how to proceed. After a moment of awkwardness, she lowered her head slightly and proceeded in a quieter, more sheepish tone of voice.

"Umm, Jett-san, wasn't it? S-sorry, I'm not too good with names sometimes. Umm, I really should apologize, though. My friend kind of made a huge scene yesterday. She's really beating herself up over it, and, uh, that's actually part of why I came here." She wasn't technically lying - that WAS why she'd accosted them, but she made sure to make it sound like their meeting was a total coincidence, not wanting to imply that Haruka was around in case he demanded to see her. "Harukaze-san wanted me to tell you she's very sorry for causing you so much trouble." She took a very deep bow, and hesitated bashfully to raise her head. "If you don't want to talk about it anymore, I totally understand, but... umm... if there's anything you have to say to her, I could tell her for you next time I see her?"

There it was! Her master play. After all, Harukaze had asked her to relate anything Jett said on the subject back to her, so asking for exactly that was totally within her jurisdiction, right? This way, she could hopefully figure out just what Jett had to do with Harukaze and her sister, and maybe, just maybe, help settle her friend's dispute for her.

...Still, this really wasn't worth it. Acting so earnest and cutesy all the time was exhausting, especially when the only attractive guy around was surrounded by other girls and already had some kind of history with one of her friends. She had no idea how so many airheads managed to live this way. IF nothing else, though, if these people had already had the misfortune of dealing with her older sister... Their reactions to seeing someone who looked so much like her, but actually behaved normally would probably be interesting. They'd definitely be relieved, right? Somebody had to be the competent one in the family, after all, and it sure as hell wasn't her big sis.

Righty-o! I've created a pretty barebones Discord server for this RP, but I can work on adding to it as we go. In any case, if anyone has any questions, suggestions, comments, or the like, that'll give you a way to directly bring them to my attention at all times. I'll try to have the OOC up soon as well, but in the meantime, if you want to hang out there and discuss characters and stuff, the option is now available.

Here's the link!

As You Wish - An Anime/Manga Inspired High Casual Character Drama

Alrighty! I'd say we've left this up long enough, and with seven people interested, I think we've got more than enough to make this RP a good one. I'll have the Discord up when I get back from classes this afternoon, and try to get the OOC thread up either this evening or tomorrow so we can get everything set. :D

I'm looking forward to roleplaying with all of you!

Drawing Characters!

@MaeWow, that's amazing! She's so detailed, and the background's incredible too! Nice job! 0w0

As You Wish - An Anime/Manga Inspired High Casual Character Drama

Wow, I'm glad to see so much interest right off the bat! :D With this many people, I can safely say that we can definitely make this happen.

I'll give this thread a little more time to see if anyone else wants to join, then work on putting up the OOC. I'll also work on creating a Discord channel to keep track of things, although I won't make it mandatory to join that for those who don't want to. In any case, welcome aboard, everyone, and I look forward to writing with you! ^^

One more thing I'd like to ask of everyone joining. Ideally, I'd like to focus this experience largely on the players rather than any one GMPC I might create, so I'll likely be creating an extensive cast of NPCs of varying importance, rather than focusing my efforts solely on a single GM mouthpiece. However, I'd also like those NPCs to be relevant to your characters and their development, so as such, I'll also be taking suggestions and requests for NPC characters with some connections to your own to make things more exciting. Also, if you'd like to do a specific NPC role yourself - such as a character's siblings, parents, close friends, personal enemies, etc. - I'd be happy to allow you to take on multiple characters, so no worries there, either.

On one final note, Flamelord, you're absolutely right when you say that this is kind of a complicated setup. With wishes being made that could change character relationships or development completely, and with certain people losing memories or having them rewritten when these wishes occur, I expect that things could quite quickly become very confusing. Speaking of which, I'm also going to make a house rule here that you should, either directly or through me, discuss what your wishes' impact on other PCs will be rather than just forcing ahead with them. For example, it'd be bad form to just wish another, non-app-holding PC would fall in love with you without consulting them first, since it effectively rewrites their entire character without either their consent or their permission.

Other such rules may also be added if I see other such problems arising. In any case, if anyone has any questions or confusions about the setting and its rules, I'm more than happy to answer them. ^^

Thank you all for your interest!

As You Wish

Disclaimer: This RP is inspired by one I helped to develop on another site that never really took off. The original concept is strongly inspired by one created by the user Lyssa on RoleplayGateway. Credit where credit is due, and all that.

What would you do if you were offered a chance to change your life completely? A chance to erase the regrets of your past - a chance to become the person you've always wanted to be - a chance, in brief, to do or be almost anything you could possibly imagine? An impossible fantasy, but it's one we've all entertained at some point or another, when our lives have been at their most bleak and hopeless.

But what if it was more than that? What if, in the palm of your hand, you had the means to change your life entirely? What would you do then? Wouldn't you leave that hated "reality" behind you and start anew?

Just like that, the impossible becomes possible for a select few people, who are chosen by a mysterious individual known only as JOKER to take part in a "game." The conditions for selection are somewhat nebulous, but each of his players has one thing in common - they have a dream that they would give anything to see come true. In order to participate, they'll be granted a special app that will grant any wish they input into it, with just a few conditions. Using this power, they are to seek to "win the game," although what exactly that means, JOKER hasn't clarified. If they do, they'll lose all their memories of playing, and their app will be passed on to a new user - but all the wishes and changes they've made will become permanent, allowing them to live the life they always wanted without being tied to the past they've left behind them. However, if they lose, on the other hand, their wishes will be canceled - or worse - and they'll have lost their chance to change things for good, along with all their knowledge of the game and the chance they had.

The conditions of the game are as follows.

1: JOKER reserves the right to interpret your wishes how he sees fit. If you don't like it, then you should have been more specific!

2: The number of wishes you receive is finite, but as to what that number is, it's up to JOKER to decide. Once you run out of wishes, your participation in JOKER's game will officially come to an end, and he'll decide whether you've won or lost. Regardless, it's best to think carefully before you act - any wish could be your last.

3: Wishes deemed by JOKER to be "too grand" - becoming emperor of the world, changing the laws of physics, etc. - will be rejected, and will not be granted. Changing your life is fine, but rewriting the whole world on a whim is just a hassle.

4: Any time a wish is made, the memories of everyone influenced by it will be altered in accordance with that wish. For example, if a dead person is brought back to life, then everyone will remember that person as having always been there, since they were not "resurrected," but rather they "never died." However, the app holder will still retain their old memories, so it's important not to get confused between the past-that-is and the past-that-was.

5: App holders can only be specifically affected by wishes they themselves make, with one exception - any app holder can spend a wish to undo a wish made by another app holder. As such, if one app holder changes the past, another app holder will remember how things were prior to their wish rather than how things supposedly have been after it. However, app holders also can't deliberately eliminate each other by simply wishing that the other didn't know about them, had never received the app, or didn't exist, and canceling each other's wishes will also deplete your own. Be careful! The greatest threat to your performance in this game might just be your fellow players. ;)

6: Finally... This game is a secret, you understand? If any outsiders find out about the existence of this app, it will immediately be deleted from your phone, all your wishes will be canceled, your memories of this game will be erased, and you'll be left living a life you detest. Of course, other app holders are the exception, since they're already in the know... but it's not like they're going to be forthcoming about letting you know who they are when they face the exact same penalties. On the other hand, if anyone outside of the game manages to figure out about its existence, they'll be rewarded... by receiving the app taken from the one they found out, and a chance to have their own wishes come true. Win or lose, the game must go on!

A Summary

So, the premise is pretty simple. A few people in the modern day are contacted by a mysterious benefactor and given the chance to play the game. Make your wishes carefully, don't use them all up too quickly, don't waste them on impossible or impractical things, and above all else, don't get found out. With that, I wish you all the best of fortune and hope you find success within the game!

As far as players are concerned, anywhere from 4-8 would be fine. I'd prefer an even number and roughly balanced gender ratios, but I'll take what I can get. And, if we don't get a very large cast of characters, I or any willing players can always fill in with NPC roles on the side to give people a diverse cast to interact with. This is where things get a touch complicated, however. Every character in the RP could be a potential app holder, but they won't all receive the app at once. After all, we need some normal characters out of the loop for the app holders to try to hide their secrets from, right? In the event that we get 4 players, I'm thinking we'd start with 1-2 app holders. If we get 6, it'd be 2-3. And if we get 8, it'd be 3-4. I'd rather not have any more players than eight or so since that'd be hard to manage, but I doubt that'll be an issue, because who actually reads my interest checks anyway? :P However, I also want to give everyone an equal chance of starting with the app, so how I'm planning on doing things currently is just rolling a die and assigning app holders randomly. Rest assured, those who don't start with the app will get a chance to use it once the other characters have used up their wishes or been outed, since the app will continue changing hands throughout the RP. However, if you'd rather not have the app right off the bat - or even at all - then just tell me. I'll take that into account when assigning who gets it and who doesn't.

Depending on player opinions, these results may be made public, or kept entirely secret to prevent metagaming, with all conversations between the holders and JOKER kept to PMs with me and the results of their wishes announced anonymously. However, that seems like a pain, so right now I'm probably going to just keep it public unless people have strong opinions otherwise.

For setting, I'm thinking a high school would be fine. However, I certainly don't want to get bogged down in spending months on detailing every single event of a single day, going from class to class and what have you. Rather, what's important is the interactions between characters before, between, and after classes, and as such, we'll be pretty freely skipping between major encounters and stuff that's actually important to the plot, like characters' dark hidden secrets and the effects of their wishes.

Also, characters don't have to just be limited to students, so if you feel restricted by that role, there's really no need to stick to it. Teachers and school staff are also perfectly fair game. You want to be the jaded school janitor who once had a promising career as an entrepreneur but lost everything in a stock market crash and has to do odd jobs to get by? Go right ahead! Sounds like it could be interesting. Basically, all you really need is a reason to be in contact with the other characters - to add risk of being discovered - and some way you'd like to change your life. It also doesn't have to all be sob stories, dead parents you'd want to bring back, or other stuff like that. You could just be a lazy git who wants to coast through life without having to work, or a spiteful character who'd use all their wishes avenging themselves by making someone else miserable! Basically, just because you want the power to change things doesn't mean you have to be a goody two-shoes, although it also obviously doesn't mean you have to be a total heel. Furthermore, if you don't want your characters' motivations to be immediately apparent, then feel free to keep them hidden in your bio and simply send them to me privately. Since this is a character drama shrouded in mystery and people hiding their true selves behind masks, having secret plot twists or aspects of your character nobody else knows about is a perfect way to make things more interesting!

Anyway, I think I've just about rambled long enough. You all have the basic gist of things, so I'll leave off here. If you like this idea and would be interested in participating, drop a comment here and I'll keep track of everyone's interest! Assuming we get enough people, I'll start as soon as I can.

Thanks for reading!

Ooh, pretty! Her gown and the jewelry on it looks especially detailed.

Animu Romance... With a『BIZARRE』Twist - A Genius War of Love and Brains

I'm thinking some crazed tech-wiz who can be brought into a situation without much objection to help out in some idiotic schemes to increase their ego.

@Raddum

Oh, I like you. You're going to fit in just fine here. :D

Animu Romance... With a『BIZARRE』Twist - A Genius War of Love and Brains

So. I see you've clicked on my shitpost-y interest check.

So, now that that's out of the way, those of you familiar with an odd little manga called "Kaguya Wants to Be Confessed To" probably have a much better idea what this thread is about. On the other hand, those of you who aren't are probably just more confused, so allow me to elaborate.

The manga in question is framed as a fairly generic school romance story - super smart student council president and vice president fall in love with each other, but both are too proud to confess. The result, however, is anything but what you'd expect. They start playing REALLY INTENSE mindgames to try to get the other one to slip up and make even the slightest implication of a confession - or else force them through social pressure to confess first, with each of their many "battles" being done in an elaborate fashion of multilayered plans and gambits reminiscent of a JJBA Stand battle or a certain CHILDREN'S CARD GAME. Naturally, this leads to utter madness as even the simple matter of going to a movie together becomes a matter of both parts feigning innocence, massive scale espionage and monitoring operations, and multiple layers of subtextual messages which, naturally, end up misinterpreted, to hilarious results.

So, the purpose of this interest check is to see if anyone else would enjoy trying to write out such a ridiculous plot, possibly with even more chaos and additional parties all trying to manipulate each other into a corner - or just a bunch of unrelated characters inserted into the mix to fuck up the "geniuses" cunning plans. Of course, the level of silliness and "mundane made awesome" could easily vary depending on the situation, but overall it's a lighthearted comedy first, a romance second, and anything really, truly, serious third. I don't have a solid setting or story setup yet, but if anybody thinks it'd be fun, I'll gladly come up with something to fit the number of players and their desired roles.

Naturally, though, given the overall tone we're going for here, I'd prefer high casual to advanced writers above all else. Make your prose as purple as you like and your plans as labyrinthine and ridiculous as you can - we're trying to make this as inherently ridiculous as possible, so I fully expect to see potato chips being taken and eaten and people facing abject, brick-shitting terror over the prospect of being forced to share an umbrella, or... *GASP* HOLDING HANDS! *Insert scare chord here*

Anyway, that's all, folks. Leave a reply here including the gender and overall character type you'd prefer to try if you'd be up for giving it a shot, and thanks for reading!

People were talking to her. She snapped back to attention, but what had she been doing? Right, the mission. She needed to focus on the mission. But what was she supposed to do? She tried to think up a plan, something she could do to help... But last time she'd done that, everything had failed completely. She'd sent her team into a trap and ended up in the most disadvantageous situation possible herself. If she tried to act based on her own intuition, of course things like that would happen. No, the best thing she could do was act as she was told to by her teammates. That was the path of least resistance, the simplest possible action available to her. It would be alright so long as she didn't get in the way.

But, as for what they were asking... It seemed like there might be problems. She wasn't sure if she could do as they asked. She didn't want to disappoint them, but... wouldn't they be more disappointed if she tried and failed than if she spoke up now?

"Umm..." She began, but her voice half-choked in her throat. Why was it so hard to speak suddenly? Why was it that suddenly, she was scared of every word that left her mouth? Was it annoying if she talked like this? She wasn't good at this sort of thing, so it was hard for her to tell, but...

"I'm... not sure if that's a good idea." She managed to force the words out, but even then, her voice was quiet, a low murmur half-muffled by the collar of her romper. But still, she had to speak up now, or it would only cause trouble later. She tried to forget that there were people listening, and to just recite what she was thinking in her own head, but even that only provided a modicum of comfort. "My projections... can't go more than 15 meters away from me, so I'd have to be close by in order to keep them running. That would make it hard for me to mimic those paper planes very well, since I couldn't make them go anywhere. What's more, I already used that tactic during the last exercise, and they played it back for the class... I think people would remember that, so they'd definitely expect a trap if I tried it again."

She'd managed to say it. She took a deep breath of relief, but stopped herself when she realized, much to her chagrin, that she hadn't actually offered an alternative. In that case, wasn't she just being uncooperative? She needed to come up with some way she could help, but what...? Thinking about it rationally, she was probably the easiest target of the team, which meant that enemies would try to eliminate her first to weaken their overall cohesion so they could gang up on the others. But at the same time, she couldn't possibly suggest that she just hide and let the others do the fighting. She had to help somehow, without making herself a target. Then... maybe... Right, like what she'd thought of during Quirk Application!

"Umm... But if I stayed close to the rest of you, I could use my Recording instead of Playback." She blinked. They were all looking at her quizzically as though they didn't understand... Did her plan not make sense? ...Oh, wait, but they didn't know the ins and outs of her Quirk, so what she'd just said probably didn't make any sense to them. She was so stupid... Of course she'd have to explain it better. "The way I copy things is by emitting particles over the area I'm looking at to scan its composition and structure. But that also lets me tell where things are, even if I can't directly see them." Did that make any more sense now? It was hard to tell, but she was fairly certain she'd explained herself properly. In that case...

"So, if any enemies got within fifteen meters of us, I could locate them, even if they were invisible or burrowing underground. That way, I could compensate for the paper gir- Um, I mean, Hatori-san - not being aware of her immediate surroundings." If they were just planning on a defensive holding action at first, then making it impossible for enemies to approach unnoticed would give them a powerful advantage, especially if they managed to claim an easily defensible position. Combined with the paper girl's long-range scouting abilities, they'd effectively have complete knowledge of the battlefield at all times. "I'd also be able to warn you of incoming attacks, and maybe even create walls to block them if I was fast enough." If she was fast enough - there was the catch. In her last battle, she'd hardly had time to so much as look at her enemy, let alone fight him. If she ended up in a fight against someone like Yoshida again-

Yoshida. He should have been there with her, fighting alongside her this time. Just like how Haruka should have been there, showing her the way. Friends were supposed to work together, and he'd said they were friends, so why was it that he didn't want to see her?

No. No, no, no! She couldn't think about this. Her heart was hurting again, and she was losing her focus. If she slipped up like this during a fight, then...

She sighed, her antenna of hair flopping back and forth with barely-contained anxiety. "A-anyway, I'll just... Try my best to back you up." She was too slow and too weak to fight someone like that head-on. Even if she wanted to help, she'd just get in the way if she tried fighting herself. But if she didn't fight, then wouldn't everyone realize that she wasn't cut out to be a hero like Haruka? If she couldn't consistently reach that level... If she couldn't solve problems on her own, then...

But where was the point where those two goals intersected? How could she fight like a hero and win without slowing everyone else down? Was there even a way to accomplish such a thing?

As usual, she had no idea at all.
