~Unending Beat!~

GM: @KoL
Co-GM: @TheWindel


This is an RP inspired by the Angel Beats franchise that will take place at the afterlife, at some undetermined time either before or after the canon story. No canon characters or events will be involved, thus it's completely spoiler free, using only the most basic premise that everyone is already dead and are trapped in the afterlife because of unresolved issues with their past lives.

Plot


"Welcome to the afterlife, I hope you will like your stay."
Akuma, greeting the newest arrivals.


You are a high school age (14-18) student that died after having a tragic life in a manner or another. Perhaps you lived most of your life at a hospital, suffered an accident after a particularly bad fight with a friend/loved one, was murdered just when you was about to achieve a dream, etc.

Independent of it all, the next thing you knew was that you woke up in a huge school of which apparently there's no way to escape. Along with you there were other kids of your age group that seem to be in the same situation, some of them might not even remember how their lives (and deaths) were.

As soon as you arrived, you met a mysterious dark-haired girl who claimed to be the Student Council President who informed you of your situation and that you can't leave. Your only option being to become an NPC, that is, an student that has lost their free will and conformed to stay in the afterlife forever.

What you're going to do to avoid this fate (or not) is up to you.

Glossary


PC



Player Characters, any students who are able to retain their free will and act against the system. Only PCs have the chance to free themselves of the afterlife. However, the way to do so is unknown to most of them. PCs are immortal and unaging, well, technically they can die, but they will always recover no matter how grievous the injuries they suffered were.


NPC



Non Player Characters, other students and faculty staff that don't have the ability to go against the rules established by the system. Simply put, they behave as if they were still having a normal day-to-day life, unaware of the fact that they are no longer living. It's not known if NPCs share the immortality of the PCs, but since never seem to age as well, it's very probable, though things might not work the same way for them.


Afterlife



Curiously takes the shape of a gigantic boarding school/academy complex with all the necessary dependencies for students to live here for an extended period of time without contact with the out side world. In truth, is a place where souls of teenagers that have some grudge left behind reincarnate for a reason yet unknown. Most of the time, it operates like the real world, but a few special rules seem to apply, as if it is some kind of big game. The reasons behind that are a mystery as well.


Character Sheet


Name: Self-explanatory
Age: Between 14 and 18, please
Gender: The same as name
Height: See above
Weight: See above

Appearance: Anime pictures, a short description or both are all acceptable.

Personality: Considering the nature of this RP, this is a pretty important section. Try to keep it between one and three paragraph of a reasonable length.

Short Bio: The same as above, even if your character lost their memories somehow, still describe how their life was, since it'll be sure to come in play later.

Other: Anything not covered by the above sections.



Disclaimer: I'm posting this in both the casual and the advanced section, but the actual game will ran on the casual forum, though I expect commitment and decent writing skills of anyone who joins. No need to write big IC posts, though. A well written paragraph (at least four lines) is good enough for me.

So is this taking the basic idea behind the setting of Angel Beats? As in are we going to be playing a glorified school RP set in the afterlife or do you have a much greater idea for this, like in the canon story.

Yeah, I do have a plot, but the slice of life segments will be as much important as the story arcs, after all character development is fundamental to Angel Beats.

The story will be mind of the contrary of the anime (depending on players choice).

Ah, alright. Part of the reason I ask is because the sense of an armed struggle, the most extreme one could think of being involved in, is a huge appealing factor to the emotional investment in Angel Beats. The conflict itself is just a parable for ever present struggle of youth, however, the absence of this notable factor may impact the feel and idea of Angel Beats as a whole concept.

Just throwing in my 2ยข in there. XD

Ahh, but there will be armed conflict. Your characters will just have to figure how to get their weapons first.
