Question THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU [sign ups/ooc thread]

complete the game in seven days...
THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU / subarashiki kono sekai
[sign ups & out of character thread]

or face erasure!

THE MAIN THREAD IS HERE!

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ROLEPLAY, CHECK THIS POST FIRST. This post contains all of the basic information you need to know about the Reaper's Game [for those who haven't play TWEWY] as well as an in-progress roleplay summary. I also ask that you please check the rules first. I will no longer answer questions about any of these unless it is something not stated in the first post, so if your question is ignored, you know why. PLEASE check this post first! Thanks!

where am i ?
Shibuya. It's known as the trendiest part of Tokyo and, day after day, it's packed full of people in strange outfits making themselves sound out very well in the normal-looking crowds. Yet, in the midst of the bustling city, one boy walks up in the middle of a scramble crossing with a black pin in his grasp.

The game is called "The Reapers' Game", sent out by an enigmatic group called "the Reapers". What is it exactly? To the players its forced onto, they must complete the game within seven days or they will be erased. They must complete tasks, which they receive through text messages on their cell phones, within a certain time limit or they fail.

As strange beings called "Noise" begin to crowd the streets, you have two options: fight or be erased. Which will it be? You can't escape Shibuya and of course you can't go off hiding...

what is this ?
If you don't know what it is, "The World Ends With You" or "It's a Wonderful World" or "Subarashiki Kono Sekai" is a game developed by [of course] Square-Enix. Some people mistook the game as a Kingdom Hearts game for DS when a scan for Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+ was released, since the characters look similar to the main characters in Kingdom Hearts. However, the games are completely different! Subasekai takes place in Shibuya and the main character, Neku, is forced into a game called the Reapers' Game, or Shinigami no Ge-mu, where he must complete the game in seven days or he will be erased from existence. In honor of the English release of the game, I'm creating this roleplay just for fun! Even if you don't know what the game is, this game doesn't involve anything but the basic plotline: complete the game in seven days or face erasure.

For more information on the game, if you don't want just the basic plot, check out the Wikipedia page! WARNING! SPOILERS ARE ON THIS PAGE! [if you want a less spoiler-filled summary, along with some extra info, the "basics" section of this post'll explain some things about the game!]

rules? since when?
o1. Please use legible writing during this roleplay. You only have to write one to two paragraphs [two being preferred] in each post and you MUST have legible writing to join in. If you don't have legible writing, you won't be allowed to join. [this is only because your posts might be incomprehensible, so make sure you can type on here!]
o2. No godmoding or powerplaying! You may powerplay only if you have a person's permission and you have shown proof that you can control another character for a certain period of time. This applies only to if you're unable to be on a computer or your character has the able to control other people or their actions. However, there is absolutely no godmoding whatsoever!
o3. Please don't make a mary-sue or gary-stu and put them in the RP. Give your characters some flaws, don't make them the brother or sister of a canon character, and just make them human! There aren't going to be any supernatural beings in this RP, so don't turn them into some weird creature; supernatural powers are allowed, but not supernatural beings.
o4. Original characters are preferred, at least until everyone in the RP has completed the game. This is only because no one really knows what's going to happen in the game, so new characters that aren't in the game are preferred at the moment. However, this doesn't apply to canon Reapers necessarily, as long as no spoilers apparent with them. [ESPECIALLY MINAMIMOTO ANYONE CAN PLAY HIM :DDDD]
o5. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO SPOILERS ALLOWED IN THIS ROLEPLAY UNTIL EVERYONE HAS COMPLETED THE GAME WHEN IT COMES OUT! There will be zero tolerance for ANY spoilers and, if you even mention just an eighth of one, you will be banned from this! Until everyone in this RP has completed the game, no spoilers are allowed!
o6. Everyone is always welcome in this RP! You don't have to ask if you can still join in if we've already started; all of my roleplays are always open!
o7. If you've read the rules, please post "Why do I have to play this?" above your character template. If this isn't in your post, you will be asked to post it and, if you don't post it at all, you're not in the RP. Sorry to be strict, but I have to make sure you read the rules, even if it's just the first sentence of each rule!
o8. Last but not least, HAVE FUN! If you don't have fun... WHO'S UP FOR RIDING THE TOWER OF TERROR FOR 24 HOURS? :D EVERY SINGLE RIDE IS DIFFERENT BECAUSE THE COMPUTER REPROGRAMS IT EVERY TIMEEEE! :3 You can ride on the Parisian one, if ya want, too! GREATEST. INAUGURATION. CEREMONY. EVER.

If you read all of the rules, you can go ahead and read over the other stuff if you want. Otherwise, we start the day the game comes out in North America: April 22nd!

NOTE: Currently, we have a definite lack of players, so for the moment, YOU WILL ONLY BE ALLOWED TO JOIN AS A PLAYER! At least until we get two or so more players.

And, also, the position of Gamemaster is offlimits, because there's more Gamemasters than Shinigami; well, there's one Shinigami and we need more than that. xD;

what happened here ?
[SUMMARY IN PROGRESS; will be posted completed soon!
Also, if you have any suggestions on how to shorten down the summary, please send 'em to me! So this summary'll be an easier read for everyone D:]

She received a text message stating to go to '104' within 60 minutes and, if she failed, she would face erasure. She also received a strange black pin with a skull printed on it. However, a strange wolf-like creature sitting on the sidewalk nearby seemed to creep her out a bit. Another player, this one being Zakuku [mike2014], pushed past also trying to find 104, also having the same pin and text message. Riku [KeyBlade-Master1] also awoke in the middle of the sidewalk, receiving the same text message that both Zakuku and Kusari received as well as the pin. Yet, Riku soon found himself running into a lamp post. Cam [Azura] found herself looking around rather bored, looking for a player to mess with. She found Shouten [Imperial Chaos] and asked him if he had found a player yet; Shouten then treated her rather horribly, something that he shouldn't have done because of his low-rank. Before when Shouten [Imperial Chaos] told the wolf sitting on the sidewalk to attack, Kage [Takushi Rena] stated that he doesn't take commands from low ranks like him; though that didn't mean he wouldn't attack. Kusari found herself dragged to the ground by the wolf, who pinned her to the ground and growled at her. She immediately pulled herself away, while Shouten watched before trying to find a player to mess with, though Cam was yelling at him to come back there and talk. Riku realized that the wolf was there, and Kage stopped himself to turn and glare at the boy. Kusari then escaped, only to be dragged back by the wolf-like creature, just after Kage summoned frog-like creatures to deal with Riku. Zakuku saw this and threw a pebble at the wolf, which was blocked and thrown back by Shouten at Zakuku's head.

002: Riku fought the frogs with his fists and feet, yelling at the wolf once more to relinquish Kusari. Zakuku, on the other hand, was faced against Shouten while Cam could only look at the other two Reapers with frustration, as she hadn't found a player to mess around with. Kusari escaped from the wolf's grasp once more, heading over to the scramble crossing to await to cross. However, Kage, now as his Reaper self with his hood up, latched onto her hand to keep her from running off. Riku watched for a moment and headed off towards the two to save the day while Cam stepped towards the boy, triumphant that she found a player. Riku was taken aback by Cam, questioning why she believed this was a 'game', and Cam merely spoke to the boy, though she finally told him that he would be the player she would beat the crap out of. Yet, when Cam told him he couldn't even save one girl, Riku was horrified by a painful memory, though finally he was determined to go save Kusari from Kage. However, Riku wasn't the only one coming to beat up on Kage; Seanu [Zangetsu] also appeared as well, charging towards the hooded figure with full force. Kusari, however, managed to get away and, when she did, she latched onto Riku's hand, dragging him across the scramble crossing as two 2D shadow blobs followed them across. When Riku saw these, he was now dragging Kusari in attempt to get away from them. Akira [Sora_Rox_My_Sox] was now on the sidewalk and agreed to go to 104 from the text message she received.

003: Kusari sped up with Riku, realizing why he was running so fast, and, when they finally stopped, she pointed up towards the Shibuya 104 building, asking Riku if that was where they had to go. Kage, however, was quite ticked off that the two had taken off, taking out his anger by commanding Shouten to go after Seanu and Akira just before he turned back into a wolf to go after Riku and Kusari. Seanu, after missing Kage, noticed Akira and gave a whistle to get her attention while trying hard to make it across the street in time, getting caught in the middle of the street when the light changed to red. Riku and Kusari headed into Shibuya 104, exchanging names as they stood in the middle of the first floor. Shouten hears Kage commanding him to go after Seanu and Akira and, after sending a punch to Zakuku's jaw, the Reaper charges after Seanu just as a car almost catches the player while sending some wolf-like Noise after Akira. Akira is then faced against the wolf Noise just after she hears Seanu's whistle, while Kage sends out a message to all of the players for their next mission; the mission is to 'find a partner and defeat the Noise' within 20 minutes. Just as that message sends out, both Riku and Kusari receive massive headaches as Noise begin to stream into the streets. Seanu is forced to fight against Shouten, trying to get away while screaming at Akira to stop screwing around because of the time limit, while Riku remembers another horrible memory of his. Shouten continues fighting Seanu, Akira continues to fight the Noise, and Kusari runs out into the street to see the Noise that Kage summoned up for this mission, also gaining a black claw and black arm as soon as she sees them. Riku follows behind Kusari and finds his ability, being able to attack with red energy, while Seanu reaches the store with Akira and attacks Shouten with his black player pin. Zakuku reads the new mission and asks Seanu if he got a text message telling him to go to 104.

004: Shouten falls back from Seanu's attack while Akira ran inside of 104, though she was rather sick of being so helpless, and receives the new mission. Kusari and Riku, on the other hand, are fighting alone and Kage realizes this, sending a shock VIA their player pins through them as 'punishment'. Kusari then asks Riku if they can make a pact and Riku agrees. After Seanu receives the text message, he immediately declares that Zakuku is his partner, giving his name while Zakuku tells Seanu his own. The two then begin to fight the Noise, while Akira tries to fight a partner. Sleif [sephiroth2] then appears near Shouten, asking how he thinks of the players so far. Kusari and Riku continue to fight the Noise, with Kusari receiving a fusion pin while realizing that there's only ten minutes left to complete the mission. Kage appears near Cam, seeming to taunt her for a moment before explaining that there's a bunch of players to mess with over by 104, and Cam asks if 'that punk' is there. Zakuku and Seanu continue to fight the Noise.

005: Riku unleashes his Chrono Strike ability on the crowd of Noise while Seanu and Zakuku team together and defeat the Noise they fought. Meanwhile, Kyo [Neko.May.Cry.] appears and goes off to find a partner, ending up screaming out into the air and rambling about fangirls for a second. Akira hears his screaming and asks him to be her partner, Kyo agreeing to this immediately. Riku and Kusari triumphantly defeat the Noise while Kage tells Cam to specify which 'punk' she means. Riku says that he's tired while asking if they get a new text or not, while Akira begins attacking the Noise she faces with Kyo. Cam yells at Kage, saying that he knows exactly which one she's talking about, as Kyo attacks the Noise with his bone-using ability alongside Akira. Kusari realizes that Riku is tired and pulls a chocolate cornet out of her pocket, handing it to him, before asking if they should help the others. Kage then realizes which 'punk' Cam's talking about and explains where he is.

006: Riku takes the chocolate cornet and eats some of it before letting Kusari have the rest, before asking who Kusari is talking about. Akira says that she doesn't know anywhere sage in the city, knowing that nowhere is safe until the Noise are gone. She notices Riku and Kusari in the distance then sits down on a nearby bench. Cam sighs and apologizes to Kage for saying that he was 'stupid'. However, she does plot about what's she going to do when she finds the 'punk' that she's looking for. Kyo pulls out his cellphone and looks for a message, finding nothing yet. He says that those two other players might know something then, after contemplating for a moment, he calls over to the two. Seanu gets a false vibration from his phone, signaling that the battery is low, and, after five minutes, suggests that they head to a nearby cafe. Zakuku agrees and asks how Seanu got pulled into the game. Kusari says 'you're welcome' to Riku thanking her for the chocolate cornet, which he gives back to her after taking some of it. Yet, shortly afterwards, Kusari hears Kyo calling over to them and she takes off, though slows down before them and goes back to being her shy self. Kage, with Cam, gives a shrug and says that he's going back to HQ, telling her to have fun with playing with the stupid kid. Riku follows after her and greets the two players, trying to also make sure that Kusari isn't so shy. Cam then finds the player she's looking for, Riku specifically, and blends into the wall, watching them all and awaiting the moment to strike. Akira introduces herself and Kyo to the two players, but then questions to herself if someone is just toying with them. With Zakuku, Seanu explains that he got swallowed up by his own shadow and ended up there. Seanu then notices the group of players and whistles to them, introducing him and Zakuku before saying that they can go to a nearby cafe. Haine [-Arcana-X-] begins her game and gets the message of erasing the Noise and find a partner within 20 minutes, immediately going off on her search for a partner. Sleif disappears from before Shouten and appears back at HQ, asking Kage how he did. Riku bluntly asks the two players if they still had a Noise problem or not, then says that if they're done, they better head off to the cafe.

007: Cam realizes that the players are about to head off to that cafe and appears before them, saying they're not going to leave that easily. Akira quickly spins around and sees Cam, wondering where she came from while awaiting to see what the reaper did next. Riku, after exclaiming that Cam won't take him or anybody else, then chuckles and realizes that the Reaper is all talk before walking off by Cam. The Reaper then knocks Riku to the ground, stressing not to take her lightly, and prepares to fight Riku, saying that the fight is between them only. Kage, back at HQ, smirks and says that he scared the crap out of a kid and sticked a bunch of Noise on the Players, asking if that was good enough to Sleif's standards. Kusari, back in Shibuya, doesn't listen to Cam and runs off to protect her partner, her hand turning into that claw once more as she digs her claws into Cam's back. Akira doesn't take heed to Cam's warning either, immediately going off to attack the Reaper as a bit of a distraction so Kusari could save Riku. Ryuu [GuardianofHearts] begins the game, waking up in an alley, receiving the mission's message on both her cell phone and her camera's screen, and, forty minutes later, is forced into a fight between Yoruhime [GuardianofHearts], who quickly disappears after teasing the player. Shouten enters the Reaper's HQ and slumps into a chair, wondering what he's going to do now. Sleif then questions Kage if he was good enough once more but, after noticing Shouten's appearance, he tells Shouten to go with Kage and check on the other Reapers. Shouten agrees, only after calling Kage 'Mr. PMS', then walks out of the headquarters, only after warning Kage not to push the 'higher-rank' bit. Back in the midst of Shibuya, Seanu declares that the Reaper must be stupid for fighting against six Players by herself but keeps himself hidden, back against a light pole as he ponders. Riku unleashes another Chrono Strike attack on Cam while Haine uses her Exquisite Amethyst attack to assist the other players in their fight. Cam feels the effects of fighting six to one, but, no matter how much pain she endures, she continues to battle the players.

008: Riku uses his Refresher pin to heal the players as Kusari charges forwards and attacks Cam with her claw once more. Back at the Reaper's HQ, Kage disagrees Sleif's idea, refusing to go with Shouten. When Kusari attacks Cam, the Reaper latches onto the girl's arm and threatens her, before declaring that she's not running off but will definitely come back to play with them. She disappears and reappears back at HQ and mumbles about how she hates children while asking Sleif for some bandages. In Shibuya, Akira complements Riku and Kusari's attacks and begun to go off towards their previous destination: the Outback Cafe. However, when Kusari hears Akira, she thanks her but quickly runs off towards the cafe. Kage questions if Cam got in a fight with a cardboard box as another Reaper appears with some bandages, thanks to Sleif calling them. However, Cam simply takes the bandages and says she can do it herself as Shouten tells Kage that he'll be outside when he's ready. Riku takes off after Kusari, questioning if they're going to the cafe, while Yoruhime stands atop the 104 building, waiting for Ryuu. However, Yoruhime disappears and appears back at HQ, questioning Kage why one of the players has one of his shadows. Kage replies by saying that the kid just has an ability-relating to shadows, but hastily disappears after Shouten. Kusari follows along besides Riku towards the cafe, mumbling about being rather hungry, as Zakuku, believing they were all going to the cafe, asks Seanu what to do now. Back at the Reaper's HQ, Yoruhime watches Kage's quick disappearance, though she did question how that shadow would react to her dreamcatcher, as Cam asks how Yoruhime's player hunting was.

[summaries of pages 009 - 013 are in progress! they'll be up soon!]

014: Cam has a familiar dream of her's again as she takes a nap, possibly remembering something from her past. Back outside in the streets, Haine watches Ryuu with a bit of disapprovement while observing a collapsed boy nearby. She taps on Ryuu's shoulder, asking for soda for the boy, while Akira is met by a mysterious figure alongside Zakuku, stating that the man is simply trying to distract them from their mission. Kage snatches back his headphones from Kusari and, as both Riku and Kusari try to run off and fight those shadows, the two shadows they were pitted against quickly turn into black goo and appear beneath their feet while the other shadows do the same with their prey. Kage states that all of the players were pathetic and weren't supposed to fight, but squirm helplessly. He then goes on to figure out which of the bunch he's going to erase first, just as his shoes catch on fire, thanks to Kusari using her blue fire pin. He instantly declares that it's Riku's fault and threatens to erase him first, though he pulls out his cell phone instead and the time limit then is forced down to 30 seconds. Sleif hears what Akira says about the man simply trying to distract them, but allows them to go forward to fight the swarming Noise, if they think they're up to the challenge. Akira then snaps at Sleif, asking why he would want to help them and questioning if it's right that erasing them is their motive. She clips some pins on her slash before glancing down at her palm and realizing that they only have 30 seconds left to complete the mission. Haine, on the other hand, glances down at her palm then back to the fallen player. She tells Ryuu 'Run', contemplating about understanding when they need to battle, as the seconds tick away. Riku stares wide eyed at the timer on his palm while Kusari states the short time limit isn't fair. Kage simply says that nothing is ever fair and Kusari bites her lip at the response. The seconds tick away and, as they do, Kusari does exactly what Kage wanted: squirm. She tries to escape the goo, but fails completely. The timer finally reaches 'zero' and Kage waves bye to all of the players on Central Street Entrance just as everything starts to fade to black.

basics ?
!NOTE! Since this RP was created before Rena had any pure knowledge of the whole plot or system, this RP isn't completely accurate to the story. However, some of the info has been changed that hasn't been effected too much by the RP's plot. So, in this, some things on this list are exclusive to the RP while some things are canon to the game.
Reapers' Game / Shinigami no Ge-mu: The Reapers' Game is a game forced onto random people within a certain area wherever the Reapers are. [or it's just in Shibuya; not quite sure, but I'll say that it's most likely always in Shibuya! 8D;] The whole game lasts seven days and each task is sent out to each player VIA their cell phones. [even if they don't have cell phones, when they wake up in Shibuya, they get their own cell phones] All players receive a timer imprinted on their palm, appearing right after they receive the new mission; all players also get a jolt of pain from the timer imprinting itself into their skin. [The timer looks like this] Each task has a time limit, or in some cases there's no time limit at all if the place is nearby, and the player must quickly get to the next place before time runs out. Unfortunately, Noise do appear to stop the player from completing their task. If a player can't complete the task they are given, they will be erased. However, if one player team defeats the mission, unless it's a mission only for select players, then the mission is completed for ALL of the players.

The message that the players receive are all the same; there's absolutely no difference in the text, so when someone lists a mission, then that text is the same on ALL of the player's phones. Any of the Gamemasters controlling that week can send out messages to the players. In the game, there's only a mission a day and, once the mission is complete, the players normally fall asleep and wake up in the next day. However, though that last part applies, there's a limit of three small missions per day. Any Gamemaster can issue missions to players, but each Gamemaster can only issue two missions a day or they'll be erased. Gamemasters can send missions to all players [only the Gamemaster controlling over that complete week can do this], but all Gamemasters can send missions exclusive to specific players or player teams.

In order to play in the game, all players must give up something they care about very much; or, in some rare cases, the sacrifice is something they don't care about very much at all. If they win the game, then they get their sacrifice back. However, if they are erased, their sacrifice disappears along with them.

The goal of the Reapers is to erase the players, through the use of Noise as their own little puppets or by using their Noise form. Reapers can attack the players directly or THEY will be erased instead. The goal of each week is to erase all of the players in the Reaper's game of that week. Reapers must have a certain amount of points each month, or they will be erased for failing to erase enough players.

At the beginning of the game, all who are in it wake up with a black pin printed with a white skull insignia on it. They also receive a text message on a cell phone stating the first task, which they can't delete; all of the other text messages they receive from the Reapers are ones they can't delete either. And, to add onto that, people don't notice you at all in the streets at the beginning. [though, you have to be able to talk to shopkeepers and such, so this is only until everyone completes the first task] This is because you're in an alternate Shibuya and nobody can see you within it; this'll be explained at one point in the RP.

But, what happens when each week is complete? Well, you'll just have to find out, won't you?

[NOTE: in this RP, the RP will run 14 days long, unless you guys want to add another week. If the days are going very slow, however, then the amount of missions will reduce to one or two per day.]

Different Worlds:
[this section will be explained by a character in the RP; all of the info explained after it shows up in the RP will be posted up in this section!]

Reapers' Rankings:
All Reapers were originally Players that failed to complete the game, but were given a second chance only be becoming a Reaper. However, this isn't the only way Players become Reapers.

- Composer: the highest rank of all; this person is the overall leader of the Reapers. The Composer is currently not overlooking the game; only the Conductor would really know where they are.
[The role will actually open up towards the end of the RP, so if you would like to be the Composer, PLEASE let me know. This'll be on first come, first serve, but you are NOT allowed to let them show up until the end of the RP. (Well, not allowed to reveal them, actually) This is because that's exactly what happened in the game in terms of revealing who they were. If you would like to play the Composer also in the actual RP, though not exactly as that title, you can make a character, ANY kind of character [though, I highly suggest you don't play as a Reaper], and later ask to be the Composer or go ahead and claim the spot.]

- Conductor: the next highest rank; this person carries out the will of the Composer and determines the winner of each game. [This person'll be considered the leader of the Reapers]

- Producer: the Producer of the Reaper's game is a very secret rank, with only the Composer knowing who exactly they are. They're normally posed as a person who runs a shop, but knows lots about the game, can see the Players, and helps to keep everything in order. But, otherwise, not much is known about what they do in the Reapers.
[In this RP, any neutral character can be the Producer and, if you want, you can give a hint to who the Producer is, if you're playing them; I don't even have to know who the Producer is! But, if you do want to play the Producer, I need to know in some way so that I can say that the spot is claimed. You don't necessarily have to say "[insert name here] is the Producer"; if you want, you can ask to play them at some point, but not post their template right away. You don't even have to post a template at the time you want to play the Producer, just as long as there is a template later on that doesn't include any hint of being the Producer. However, the character MUST be a neutral character, not a Player or a Reaper]

- Gamemasters: one of the highest ranks of the Reapers. These guys issue missions to the players; there's one Gamemaster controlling over each week, switching every week, and has the power to issue missions to all of the players, but only that Gamemaster can do this, while any Gamemaster can issue missions specifically for specific players or player groups.

- Reapers: the lowest ranks of the Reapers. They consist of different categories:
+ Hunters - these guys are the highest ranking of this Reaper group; they hunt players down, often going on 'Player Hunts', and sick Noise on them to erase them. They must erase Players and get a certain amount of points each month. If they fail to reach a certain quota, then they get erased.
+ Mission Reapers - these are Reapers that are disguised as different people and present obstacles for the players to defeat in each mission; this is to keep the players from completing the timelimit and becoming erased. [in this RP, these'll be NPCs] Who's a Reaper and who isn't, however, is quite a mystery.
+ Walls - another kind of Reaper that presents obstacles to players. They set up walls that the players cannot pass through unless they complete a certain task given to them. These guys are normally in red hoodies, their hood being pulled up, with a baseball hat, or in a black hoodie with their mouth covered. [in this RP, these'll be NPCs]

Terms:
- Psychs: Psyches are basically 'psychokinesis' powers given to the players VIA their player pin, the black pin with the skull. Psychs allow them to control objects [like Shiki uses Nyan-tan/Mr. Mew to fight] and use the powers in their pins. Some players aren't very good at psychs, while others are really good at them. With psychs, people who are good at psychs can read other's thoughts and scan for Noise. When they scan for Noise, they appear in large red symbols floating over the surroundings. When players catch the symbols, they're transported to the Noise's own world, which looks exactly like the world that the players and Reapers are in.
- Noise: These are creatures that are the physical inhabitants of people's negative thoughts and emotions. They take the shape of animals with a graffiti-esque style to them. Only Psych abilities can find these Noise and only those with the player pin can locate Noise.
- Pins: These are where the players get their powers from, other than their own abilities. With these, they can cast fire, shoot lightning, or whatever else they want! Just as long as they have the pin for it, they can use so many different kinds of magic and abilities. [However, there's an equip limit of six pins per person. You can have as many pins as you want, switch out pins whenever you want, but you can only equip six at a time. All pins are weak at the beginning, so don't go crazy with attacks and stuff]
- Noise Forms: Noise forms are forms that the Reapers take on during the Reapers' Game, most likely when most are out in the streets. [that part mainly goes to Gamemasters in this RP; Shinigami don't normally take on a Noise form in the streets] This form represents an animal that is similar to their personality. For deciding on a Noise form for your character, take a look at these links:

Spriters Resource IAWW page [THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS ON THE SPRITE PAGES OF SOME CHARACTERS; there aren't really any spoilers for the Noise, however. the Noise are at the bottom of the page, and this may not be all or even most of them. Also, I warn ANYONE interested in getting the game when it comes out to NOT look at the mugshot sprites, nor the character sprites. The only non-spoilery ones are Neku and Joshua, but everything else has spoilers.]

- Abilities: Unlike in the game, all of the characters have abilities that are their own, though the players can only use them in the Reaper's game. However, the player's abilities can be disabled at any time by a Gamemaster, which is a BIG disadvantage to those who can't use psychs very well.

Places:
Since Shibuya is an actual place, all of the places in The World Ends With You are based on Shibuya! Because of this, you can find out about all of the places in Shibuya really easily. I'm going to link to the Wikipedia page about it and I highly suggest taking a look at it; spots in Shibuya will be mentioned throughout the RP.

[there is a map of Shibuya when you register for updates on the European TWEWY site, so just for the purpose of this RP, I'm going to get it; I may not be able to share the actual image of the map, but I'll be more than happy to write a text version of the map just for this!]

Here's a list of all of the sites in Shibuya that'll be important to the RP.

Also, The Hachikou statue is one of the places the players will meet often in this.

YAY! I FOUND A MAP! :D Though, it doesn't really show what the places look like, so you might have to rely on those two links for pictures of locations.

TWEWY Area Locations

Gameplay:
[though gameplay has no pure part in roleplays based on games, some things from the game will be used in the RP]
- Fusion Attacks: Fusion attacks are attacks used together by partners; IT IS NOT A COMBINATION OF THEIR ABILITIES! Each fusion attack has three levels and one fusion point collected will result in a Fusion pin earned, which can be activated and used against Noise. In this RP, Fusion attacks will be used, but how you earn these attacks will be much different than how you do so in the game. Each players on a two-person team much successfully attack an enemy 5 or 10 times [5 times for smaller enemies like Kaeru and 10 hits for Swing Sharks; THESE DO NOT REPRESENT HOW MUCH HP THEY HAVE LOST BY HITTING THEM], however hitting enemies can be difficult at times; you or someone else has to control the Noise you're fighting and all Noise are NPCs, so they can be controlled by anyone at anytime.

When both players get one Fusion point in a new battle and both have a Fusion pin, they will be allow to use a Fusion attack. For Fusion attacks in the game, these are normally based off of what the character on the top screen is using to attack with. [example: since Shiki uses Nyan-tan/Mr. Mew to fight, all of the Fusion attacks when she's teamed up with Neku are based off of Nyan-tan, like the level one Fusion attack is Nyan-tan flying across the two screens and attacking enemies.] However, of this RP, either one partner is chosen to have their Fusion attacks based off of what they use to attack with, OR two types of Fusion attacks are figured out and the first person to recieve a pin will have the Fusion attack based off of them. [The first one will either result in PMing to figure out who the Fusion attack is based off of or I'll flip a coin for everyone each time partners change.]

If people are abusing the fact they can simply attack Noise and get enough hits for Fusion points, the Fusion attacks will be removed from the RP.

To be able to perform fusion attacks, a NPC or neutral character MUST give both players in a team a blank pin. The base level is only available until you collect a sticker that allows you to level up your fusion attack. If you both don't have a pin, then you can't perform fusion attacks.

- Soda: Soda cans are basically the potions of the street world. However, they don't necessarily have to be soda cans; just as long as it's some type of soda, it still works. [you can find a list of Japanese soft drinks here; if you would rather have your character use one from a different country, just look for it on that list and you can use it in the RP!] However, THESE MAY ONLY BE USED ON THE BATTLE FIELD. Each soda doesn't completely refill your HP, nor cure all of your wounds. However, when you exit a battlefield, you are completely cured [BY MAGICCCCCC *brick'd*], unless someone attacks you when you're not in battle.

- Food: Like with soda, food revives your HP, but only in the streets outside of the battle field. However, unlike soda, once you eat something, you have to fight and win several battles first [at least 7] before you can eat anything else.

so, what's my mission ?
Below is a list of the past/current missions that the players face. This'll be updated with every new mission whenever they're posted.

I. A. Reach 104. Fail, and face erasure.
B. Find a partner and defeat the Noise. You have 20 minutes. Fail, and face erasure.
C. 'Ello pathetic players! Your next mission is to do the following:

RUN.

You have 100 minutes. Fail, screw up, or otherwise, and you will be erased.

-- The Reapers

P.S. No abilities allowed here! Unless there's shadows involved... even though shadows can't harm shadows! You better get used to using pins and psychs...
II. Crawl into the minds of those who can't realize you and force their decisions to play out based on your own gain. You have 60 minutes. Fail, and face erasure!
[Exclusive to Riku & Kusari] Find the dragon's wall. You have 20 minutes. Fail, and face erasure.

why am i in this ?
For this RP, we need an even number of players for the Reapers' Game. Why? Because all of the players have to make a pact with another player and become a team to fight the Noise! But, if we don't get enough players by April 22nd, someone might not be able to make a pact when needed to, though it'll be alright since Noise can't all pop up at once. [well, they won't be able to in this RP if there's not an even number of players :d]

As for Reapers, there is no even number needed. You just have to be a good antagonist! However, there needs to be a leader of the Reapers. This'll go to the insanely bad guy, and you just have to say you want to be that insanely bad guy. [of course, your character has to be wicked, though...]

As long as you know the basic plotline and a little bit about what the characters are [like what Reapers are (which are the bad guys) and what Noise are (which are creatures that are created from emotions and thoughts of people and can only be found inside of people if you have psychic abilities.)], then you can join in! I recommend looking at the Wikipedia page if you want more details, but there are some spoilers on that page. Otherwise, you just have to know the basics and you're more than welcome to join. :]

This seems interesting. I'll need to look up some information, but sign me up. I'll be a reaper.

"Why do I have to play this?"

Appearance: Sleif is around 7' tall, with light tanned skin, red piercing eyes and shoulder length pure silver hair. He wears a full body length black trench coat, with a single black spiked glove on his right hand.

Personality: Sleif has a split personality. Most of the time, he is calm and collective in how he acts, but at random, he can become quite insane and unpredictable.

Bio: Not much is known about Sleifs character. Neither his life prior to the game, nor the reason why he began it in the first place. All that is known, is that Sleif must end the game within 30 days. The reason behind this is currently unknown.

Tell me if there's anything wrong, all right?

Why do I have to play this?

Name: Nai Shouten

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Ability:
Dance Beat : When Shouten listens to his music, he enters a 'trance' in which he will defeat the enemy with dance moves supercharged with his adrenaline.

Alignment: Reapers

Appearance: Shouten has purple hair with dark blue tips which covers the left side of his face. He always has a set of blue and purple ear-phones on which are always blaring with music. He has an angular face with a permanent indifference on it. His eyes are an odd purple with a few specks of black in his iris'. He wears a black long-sleeved high-collar shirt with a grunge grafitti design on it consisting of the colours silver, red and purple. Accompanied with a purple and gold hoodie. He also wears a pair of loose-fitting pants which allow full mobility with rips in some areas.

Personality : Shouten is mostly quiet and distant. However, in his eyes one could see surpressed insanity, He is known to lash out to those who oppose or gets in the way of his goals and dreams.

Bio: Shouten's history is vague. His intentions for joining the Reapers are quite unknown at this time but one can't help wonder what he's up to.(Will reveal more in the RP, is that all right?)

Theme Song: Persona 4 opening

Noise : Crusher Wolf - His Noise is completely purple with eyes that glow a manevolent red. It's body is covered in tribal tattoos.

sephiroth2 and Imperial Chaos: accepted! And Sleif's going to be the leader of the Reapers or the composer of the game or whatever the leader is called. D: *will find this out...*

And, if you don't want to tread into spoiler-filled waters, I can write up the basics of TWEWY so it's a bit easier to understand. If you guys really want me to post that up, I'll gladly go write it! :D Just let me know!

Otherwise, I'll post up Kusari and Hitsuji's template soon! [gotta go finish some school work first; yay for the internet making you slack off on education? :d]

[EDIT] For templates, I added a new section that applies to the players only. This section might be a little difficult to write, though, since I can't find a list of pins/badges anywhere. :\ If you have to use this section, you only have to put two to three pins, but can have up to six listed, and you can just call them whatever you want; as long as they're creative names, of course!

And, if you're wondering what pins are, they're basically like using magic: you equip them and you can use fire spells, thunder spells, etc. There's also a bunch of other kinds of pins besides those, but there's over 300 pins in the game and I have absolutely no clue what all of them are. 8D;

Also, just a random note [and i'm not too sure about this...], but I think sodas are basically the potions in this game. RAMUNEEEEE! :DDD

"Why do I have to play this?"

Name: Hikari Kyo
Age:15
Gender: Male
Ability: Monosugoi Kosshi // Earth-shattering Bones ( most likely didn't get that right... - cough- ) -- The Monosugoi Kosshi is a horrifying ability to people first seeing it. This unusual and painful-looking ability gives Kyo the power to use specific bones in his body as weapons, allowing them to "pass" through his skin/clothes and sharpen like blades. Though the ability is quite powerful, he hardly uses it, or tries to anyway, seeing as it's painful to him as well and time consuming to let the bones get back in order within him.

At times he cannot control this if he feels he or someone else is in danger around him, as if the bones have a life of their own. He can't use this ability fo too long, using it for a prolonged amount of time is, once again, quite painful for him. He embraces this power nevertheless, as annoying as it might be... it saves his ass every now and then, can't be that bad... right?

Pins: Pins that Kyo has currently obtained are "Chaotic Marrow" and "Rapid Bakuhatsu". The first allows him to lengthen the amount of time he can use his Monosugoi Kosshi, numbing the pain as well. Rapid Bakuhatsu gives him the power to blow out a strong wave of green-ish and black-looking energy from his mouth, causing a minor explosion upon impact.

Alignment: Heroes
Appearance: Stands at 5'3, slim frame with hints here and there of muscles though not much at all, he has a strong jaw frame in the face giving him a cold and stern appearence. His skin tone is of a light shade, though not pale. Being one with what's called "heterochromia", his eyes are two shades, his left is a dark shade of green and his right is a lighter shade of blue. Kyo's hair is a jet-black color with dark blue tips, his hair is the type of "I just woke up from bed" style, while the front is layered bangs, framing his face and some covering his forehead. The back is made up of messy spikes going every which way and quite gravity-defying...

Kyo's clothing consists of a pretty neat and simple attire, though you wouldn't guess that by his hair. He wears a pair of baggy black pants, a starking white skull and heart symbol embedded onto the right pant leg. With this he pairs it up with three different belts, one hanging loosely on his hip, the other horizontally straight and the last one hanging loosely as well just in the other direction, creating a criss-cross effect with the first belt.

The criss-crossing belts each have a symbol on them, one with a skull and the other with the heart in bright red. He finishes off with a fitting black blouse that has a hood attached to it on the back of the neck. The blouse is adorned with a couple of closing pins on the right sleeve and the heart and skull symbol on the back of the blouse, this time both symbols entwined into one, with the heart being bright red as well. He also wears a pair of black opera gloves and heavy-looking boots, by his right side he has a pair of headphones attached to his belt that are connected to some sort of music device hidden away in his pocket.

Personality: Kyo has a pretty mild-temperment, he hardly gets angry and if he does, he doesn't even bother to show it unless it's a dire and quite annoying situation. Though at first he seems cold, a flash of his grin tells you otherwise. He has a pretty big heart, but to just about everyone, he first has to get to know you before he'll even start caring. Kyo isn't much for standing out in a crowd, even though he is considered one of the popular kids at school, with a legion of fangirls stalking him about. This he does not like... ( not his fault for being cute. - sweatdrops-)

Bio: By hearing much of the girls at school, you'd think he was a prince or better yet, a god. But he is neither, even though you could very well take the title of prince seeing as how wealthy his family is, he refuses such a brand upon himself. The fangirls won't listen though...

You would often find him underneath one of the trees by the school or standing by some building's wall in Shibuya, idly sketching things in his sketchbook while listening to some of his favorite songs. The only person he regularly talks to is his older brother, though not face to face, but by cellphone as his brother lives off in Osaka. Kyo has maintained an 'A' student status, but he could actually care less about his studies, he spends most of his time either drawing or playing video games by himself. One of his favorite places to do just that is at the top of the Cerulean Tower by Shibuya Station, he goes there for the amazing view of Shibuya and tranquility atop of the building.

During the weekend sometime later, he sped off outside of his house like he usually would and headed straight for the tower, but he wasn't speeding for the regular reasons. It was only the devastating news of his older brother's incident that fueled his fast-paced run. Once he got to the top of the tower, where his haven awaited him, all he could do was walk back and forth by the edge, going over exactly what he had heard and hoping it was all a dream. Therein he heard an odd voice, droning out all of the buys street noises in Shibuya and leaving only that. Two steps back, three, surprised and questioning only air around him, he was eventually grabbed by something invisible all around him. Pushing him, leading him closer toward the edge of the building...

Everything after became a blur, as if he fainted, but he could still hear things, screams... screaming for help, a loud 'crack!' and sirens blaring everywhere. But even that tended to drone out as well. He then awoke in front of the Cerulean entrance, sprawled out on the street but without a scratch on him and now it was silence in Shibuya and no one was around. 'Where is everyone...?'

HIIIIII O: *pokes Raynie* :D

Here's my templates! I'm not sure how much I'll play Kage, but he sounds fun so he might show up more than I think he might... :d


Name: Fushoku Kusari [meaning erosion; chain]
Nickname(s): Ku
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Ability: Tsugi no Kage / Following Shadow - "Tsugi no Kage" is a shadow that has replaced Kusari's own, taking the shape of a rounded shadow with gleaming yellow eyes, dagger-like claws, and a bit of a cannibalistic appetite. However, after she first gains this malicious shadow, Kusari barely realizes it's there; probably because it can only be seen on walls and only a thick grey line can be seen on the ground behind her feet. But, once she finally acknowledges its existence, she childishly refers to it as "Kage-tan" and yells at it when it does something bad.

But, how is this thing an ability? Well, Kusari's ability comes from the shadow itself: when Noise appear or she must fight for one reason or another, her left hand gains black swirling tattoos, her left hand turns claw-like, and her only visible eye turns golden yellow.

Pins:
Fire Freeze! : A pin that allows her to attack with blue fire that she can control with her right hand and use it to slash through enemies.
Slam the Warning : This pin allows Kusari to slash up on enemies in a horizontal swipe. The appearance of the pin is a cartoony impact burst in the upper left corner with a wind slash going against it, the background being a swirl of yellow and green.
Darkened Revenge : A pin that allows her to control her shadow for a few moments, depending on how strong she is, and lets her sick the shadow on enemies.
Ramune Gulp : A pin that causes a blue Ramune to appear in her grasp, which she uses to cure herself whenever she needs to. [can be used three times per battle, when mastered]
Black Boomerang : A pin that causes her shadow to be a little more handy than normal. This one causes her shadow to jump out of the ground and shoot black boomerangs that spin around the battle area, attacking any enemy that doesn't have the wit to duck.

Alignment: Good [game player/hero]

Appearance: Fushoku Kusari / Kusari Concept sheet

Kusari is a small person, standing at about 4'10 / 147.32 cm and weighing 102 lbs / 46.26 kg with a small frame. Her skin tone is slightly pale, though it has just a little bit of a peachy tone to it. She has slightly light brown hair with the length about an inch or two past her chin, messy bangs falling all over the place with two semi-spiked chunks falling over her right eye and covering it completely; there is also small, random spikes on top of her head. However, rather than brown, she dyed the roots of her hair bright blue as well as the very tips of some of her hair. The blue, though, isn't the same colour as her sapphire blue eyes. On her left cheek beneath her only visible eye is a small, rounded black mark, as if its a tattoo. When she fights, this mark stretches out and looks as if it's a sharp blob-like shape on her left cheek.

The clothes that Kusari wears makes her look tomboy-ish and shows that she's a rather laid-back person. She wears a navy blue sleeveless vest [though it could be considered a sleeveless hoodie] with a gigantic, baggy hood, a zipper, and a large pocket on the front that she frequently puts her hands in. Underneath her vest is a sleeveless, baggy crimson red t-shirt while around her right arm is a blue armband with a pin on it [the pin has a red flare on it with a blue background] and around her left wrist is a dark purple wristband with a black stripe on it along with a purple pin with a shadow similar to her own on it. She wears a light brown belt that her red DS Lite hangs from around her waist. She also wears a pair of baggy khaki cargo shorts that cover her knees as well as a pair of rounded brown shoes with a zipper down the middle of each; the shoes are nearly similar to combat boots.

Personality: At first glance, Kusari is a very quiet person and also a very shy one. She rarely speaks unless she has to, even then it's only a few words, and will sometimes hide beneath her hood so she doesn't have to speak; however, the only time she speaks really is when someone has a DS handy. Because of this, she doesn't have many friends but, with the friends she does have, she's actually quite overprotective of them. Kusari is a tomboy, a rebel against school, and a childish girl with a big caring heart. She is often mistaken for a boy, due to her clothes and hair, but is most often mistaken as a child; being mistaken for either of those is something she doesn't mind, but she hates being called a girl. And, despite her quiet disposition, she still tries to make herself stand out in a crowd. Unless she's trying to play a video game, of course!

Bio: Kusari is a very strange person; after all, what sweet kid would be followed by a malicious shadow? Yet, before a couple of days ago, she wasn't considered the least bit 'strange'.

Kusari is an only child and, because of this, she is pressured to make excellent grades in school mostly by her parents. But, truth be told, she hates school! She deeply resents it and is known to skip school, running off to Shibuya to go play games at one of the arcades or go play on her DS on the subway. Her grades may suffer, but at least she's not turning into another clone prone to send their life in a little cubical in a crammed office! Especially since her dream is to create those games that she loves so much.

However, someone realized that the childish tomboy loves games so much and heavily pursued her, at least until they got to play against her on her DS. Just before they took off with it. That red DS Lite is her most prized possession of all; even if it's just an object, it's something that she treasures deeply and will do anything and everything to keep it safe! Desperately, the girl chased after the dark-skinned, dark-haired guy that stole her DS. Fortunately, she found it laying in the middle of an alleyway; but, oddly enough, that guy wasn't there at all. Instead, there was a strange sight: a grinning shadow, black teeth unsheathed as it hovered over the tomboy. As if to skin its teeth into her skin and swallow her whole, it jumped over her and sunk down into the ground, leaving the tomboy unharmed but freaked out beyond belief. However, the shadow still did remain; as if it gobbled up her own shadow and now took its place.

But, when she fell asleep the night before, Kusari woke up in the midst of Shibuya, with no clue why. She only had one thought in her mind: run.

Trivia: Kusari's favourite drink isn't green tea; it's Ramune! She loves the traditional original flavor and uses these to heal herself rather than a can of soda, which of course means she has a lot handy; though how she can carry them all around Shibuya is a mystery indeed. She also tends to say 'Etto...' when she doesn't want to speak, which happens often.

Ability: Kage Ningen / Shadow Beings - Kage can create dark, shadow-like beings that can only appear on walls or on the ground; they all can never be three-dimensional, but that doesn't mean their attacks aren't. Though only being two-dimensional is a disadvantage, he can still create any creatures that he wants, whether they actually exist or not. He can also replace the shadows of people or animals with malicious creatures, much like the one Kusari has.

Noise Form: Shadow Wolf - When Kage takes on his Noise form, he turns into a wolf-like creature, except this one is completely black, though there are some streaks of a lighter grey in his fur, with blaring yellow orbs. His front legs and tail become graffiti-fied with a tribal-esque look to the tattoos, these being a dark purple. In this form, though different from normal wolf-like Noises, Kage tends to attack with his teeth rather than with his front legs or tail.

Alignment: Evil [Reaper]

Appearance: Toritsuki "Kage" Hitsuji

Kage is both tall and lean, standing at 5'7 / 170.16 cm and weighing at 154 lbs / 69.85 kg; he has relatively well-toned arms, though he doesn't really have any other toned muscle otherwise. His skin tone is just a bit darker than the normal Asian's skin tone, making him tanner than normal, and he also has a deep scar across his stomach as well as a strange black tattoo on his face, just below his left eye and covering most of his left cheek. He has a pair of cat-like golden yellow eyes and normally wears a wicked grin upon his face. His hair is black and very messy. Short pieces of hair fall over his eyes as well as completely cover his forehead, creating a very eerie shadow over his eyes at times, and some spikes on top of his head spike upwards and back or to the side, almost like they're fanning out. On the back of his head are spikes that just stick perfectly horizontal, though the spikes on the back of his neck seem to be much less stiff by laying against his neck.

As for his clothing, Kage wears a thin dark blue, zippered [the zipper is always unzipped] sweatshirt with a tattered collar that reaches up almost to his chin, completely covering the sides of his neck, and a big hood that he only wears when he's trying to stay hidden; the sleeves also only go down to just above the middle of his forearm. However, the right arm of the sweatshirt is completely ripped off from his shoulder down and the left arm has a big scratch through the middle of it. There is also a rip across the front of the sweatshirt. On his left wrist, he wears a plain dark crimson red wristband, while on the right wrist, he wears a black band just below a black fingerless glove with a square-shaped hole just above the seam. Kage wears no shirt underneath his sweatshirt, adding to proof of his crazed nature.

A pair of very baggy black pants rest around his waist, lazily falling on top of a pair of combat boots at the bottom. He has a closed pocket on his left hip, where his iPod is hidden away, and he also has another pocket of the same kind on his right hip, where he holds his flip cell phone. Finally, Kage wears a pair of black behind-the-head headphones, which are always plugged into his iPod; normally, though, these sit around his neck unless he wants someone to shut up.

Personality: Kage is brutal, malicious, wicked, and very much insane. He is known to follow those 'who interest him' relentlessly and, when he finally decides to catch them, toys with their minds before sicking a shadow on them. However, Kage is rather laid back when he's not trying so hard to be a creep, but doesn't enjoy taking orders from others, especially high-ranked members; he definitely resents those who insist on 'bossing him around'. His anger is a little quick to flare, though not necessarily to the point of him ripping you to pieces every time you give him a sarcastic comment, and he's a little too cocky at times. He normally has a smug grin on his face and will be more than happy to laugh right in your face for absolutely no reason at all. He is very brutal and heartless; if his shadows doesn't beat the crap out of you, he surely will. But, at a disadvantage to him, he sometimes doesn't think before jumping into something. And, as for the insane part? The laughing in your face part is one part of it, but what else could be that makes this guy so insane?

Bio: Toritsuki Hitsuji is a member of the Reapers organization, so high-ranked that he's actually a Gamemaster. However, most of the members, and anyone outside of the Reapers, know him as "Kage"; but, most of the people outside of the Reapers know him as "K.A.G.". Apparently, he absolutely loathes his first name and refuses to use it in any case, often taking the name as an insult.

If you ask him what has happened to him in the past, depending on who you are to him, he'll just state that it's not important and, truthfully, it isn't. However, it is known that he is an only child but he doesn't say a word about his family or what previously happened to him. Supposedly, he took off once before, maybe around when he was 15 or so. Is that why a certain slacking-off kid interests him so much? After all, he wouldn't even give one of his shadow beings to somebody! But, he sacrificed a shadow named 'Satsugai' to a stupid little kid named 'Kusari'. Yet, that doesn't exactly mean he's being a nice guy at all.

Trivia: Kage is merciless; he doesn't care who they are, but he's more than willing to harm anyone and everything that is in his sight. Yet, there is only one thing that he could never, ever harm: a cat. Though he doesn't admit it, he could never lay a harmful hand on a cat and never ever looks at him in a heartless way. Even though he does hide it, he does have a love of cats, especially feral ones, and has gone so far to adopt many that he has found in Shibuya.

She isn't a total loser, however: several strands of her hair are dyed a violet-pink that almost doesn't clash with her natural color. Like any kid from Shibuya, Ryuu loves color, and can typically be found wearing a flourescent shirt, dark jeans, a slanted flowing skirt, and a s
