This is the story behind Tokyo Ghoul ∑. You, the players (included me) have discovered a group of young Ghouls. Some may decide to take care of them, some may decide to just leave them to their own fate.

Regardless, each and every one of your decisions will affect the course of this RP. There are several things against you. The CCG. Other groups of Ghouls. Perhaps even the same children. As expected, the world is your enemy. [b][i]Because otherwise it wouldn't be fair, right?[/b][/i]

The RP will take place in the 5th Ward, in Bunkyo. In here, Doves and Ghouls are matched in numbers, and both of them are pretty numerous. They engage in skirmishes pretty regularly, and at current the Doves have the upper hand.

They constantly search through the city for Ghouls, and those same Ghouls retaliate at each opportunity they get. A group known as
The Apex Hunters is the CCG's most troublesome enemy. There is not a single Ghoul in this Ward that does not know about them, and the same goes for most humans.

You've got 8 years to make an interesting backstory, and not every Ghoul has to be pure blooded, or born one. One Eyed Ghouls will be accepted, but only one. I want every character to have an special quirk.

Perhaps, they have two types of Kagune that they inherited from their parents? Perhaps they are a born One Eyed Ghoul? Perhaps their cannibalism has finally blossomed into a Kakuja? Get wild with this!

A man named Hayasori Ren came into money rather mysteriously. With the money he made, he built a mansion in the sticks of the 5th ward.

Doves constantly pressed him, but forging RC factor reports was an easy matter for him, concealing the fact that he was a Ghoul.

He had never been violent to begin with, and he fed off the victims of suicides or those that had been killed by some other criminal. The man didn't like staining his hands, and he didn't seem too fond of fighting, despite being able to fight expertly and even training people of his own.

8 years ago, his mansion was burnt. The children he kept with him dispersed across the wards, perhaps finding refuge somewhere else, or not at all. Regardless, he did leave them a sum of money. Something they would probably burn through in a year, but enough to get on their feet.

Now, the mansion serves as refuge and solace for other orphans, all of them Ghouls.

I want to create this world alongside the players. This place will be filled as we add more and more places.

Hm, just wondering what sort of time frame you were looking to have the IC start up in? Need to know how long I can slack off for before sitting my ass down and tip tapping away. :3

Until I accept all the CS's of course.

So, yeah, if we get enough people, perhaps somewhere around next week?

Well, everything but the actual meat of the CS is done.


Name: Kasachi Hyouta, "Kachi"
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Height & Weight: 5'6" (1.68m) & 165 lbs. (75kg)
Sexuality: Heterosexual

CCG Rating: SS+
CCG Title: Deathstalker/Wraith (Kakuja)

Mask: Might as well own the title.
RC Type: Koukaku, Bikaku, and Kakuja
Kagune: His Koukaku manifests as a pair of dark, red-flecked wings. Their size can shift to suit smaller spaces, but his wingspan maxes out at about six meters. Sufficient to curl around him multiple times for layers of protection or reach out and smash his enemies at a distance. Growths resembling scorpion legs also reach over his shoulder and around his ribcage as if he's been hugged from behind by the bug. They offer some protection, but are quite fragile in comparison to the wings.

His Bikaku originally manifested as a single segmented tail reminiscent of a scorpion's albeit the stinger was replaced with a blade. An effective all-around weapon that could reach up to four meters far with nothing that really stood out about it. The first change came when he gained the ability to sprout a second tail. More recently he's developed a deadly ability with the Kagune. Much like how a scorpion's stinger delivers posion, the blade portion of his Bikakus can be coated with thin layer of red liquid. These specialized RC cells surge into any open wound inflicted and tear his victim apart from the inside. While costly to utilize as these RC cells are completely lost and must be replaced through consumption, the effectiveness is undeniable.

Lastly, but certainly not least is his Kakuja. It manifests from his entire back and quickly engulfs him in what appears to be black sludge. The end result is a human-shaped mass of what looks like crude oil flecked with red. The only visible points at this point are his Kakugan and even those are hard to see because they blend in. When he opens his mouth, the surface seems to stretch and tear before the strands snap apart and reveal pitch darkness. As one can expect, inflicting any damage on Kasachi becomes extremely difficult at this point. Any attempt to cut or pierce his armor finds heavy resistance while blunt trauma seems to be dissipated exceptionally well.

Special Quirk: Going for a double as a Chimera Kakuja. Dual Kagunes occurred the same way they did in other Chimeras, namely by the roll of dice. Nothing special about how Kasachi was born with those.

As for how he got his Kakuja, it was actually more likely than not to happen eventually. Even after his old man died, Kasachi continued to avoid humans and preyed on his own kind instead whenever possible. He was, of course, trying to force the mutation to occur as a means to get stronger and protect the three he considered family. It took him years of gluttonous feeding, carving into Ghoul populations from numerous Wards, before he developed the additional Kagune he desired.

Personality: At the core of Kasachi's personality is a fire to protect what remains of his family, and it burns strong almost a decade later. It is the anchor that holds him in-place, and much of what he does and did was for the purpose his old man left to him. He does truly think of the three as his siblings and treasures the time they spend together, even if that's not a lot by his own decisions.

Even before the development of his Kakuja, Kasachi was one of the more combat-oriented of his siblings. He relished in the use of his Dual Kagunes and enjoyed the rush of adrenaline that came with the fast-paced combat that Ghouls participated in. After developing his Kakuja, the sort of elation he derives from combat has only increased. While it's not overwhelming enough for him to prolong fights on purpose, he is certainly more excitable and displays very little restraint, even when it comes to Investigators.

Doesn't particularly care about other Ghouls beyond they're his primary food source. Not a big fan of reading, but does enjoy comedy and adventure television, film, etc. No particular feelings towards action beyond he already gets enough in real life.

Backstory: How does a Chimera, a result of an union between two Ghouls, end up on the streets alone with no one to look after them? Well the parents not actually loving one another is a good start. Add that they didn't want a child, but a weapon and that's already a pretty good recipe. Throw in one side's jealousy and rage when the successful product didn't belong to them, and oh geez that's just a mess waiting to be spilled. Suffice to say, but the couple had tried to conceive a Chimera numerous times before his success. Failures met an untimely and grisly end that fortunately he would avoid.

However when news of his Dual Kagunes reached the ears of the shafted party tensions climbed quickly. Guarded closely not because he was a child, but because of his worth his existence was enough to shatter the finely balanced agreement. Ghoul fought against ghoul in a short-lived and bloody conflict. While young, he had long known that there was no love in this household nor would there ever be. He had no father, and his "mother" didn't deserve the breath it took to utter the world. More immediately, he didn't any other reason than the cloying scent of blood and thump of corpses to flee the building.

That's not to say he made it out without a fight, but they'd already put him through his paces with the basics of Kagune handling. The Ghoul that on guard obviously hadn't expected much of a fight from some brat who couldn't have been older than ten. Which was why he fell quickly and without much of a struggle when wings enveloped him in darkness and a blade plunged through his chest. Despite the urge to dig into his first real meal rather than the slivers provided, the boy continued to run and put his past behind him.

The streets weren't much kinder, but there was a sense of freedom he quickly came to enjoy. Eventually though, the novelty died down as well and he was faced with the world's unkindness.

(Figure this part can get worked out when the four characters have been accepted. Sort of hard to write a history with three others when I don't know who they are after all.)

The old man had done a lot for Kasachi... enough that he could have stood by the smoldering remains for days and not be done with his thanks. His name, a home, a family, training... all that and more. He didn't linger for longer than was necessary to say his thanks to his father before he turned to the others. The pit that formed in his stomach at how uncertain their futures were didn't settle in the slightest, but he knew what his course of action was. He had never taken to school like some of them had, and despite the old man's insistence had spent more time on the street than in-class. Where some of his siblings had read books and gone through their schooling, he had spared with the old man and honed his ability to fight.

With the old man gone, he needed to be stronger to protect himself and his siblings. His current level of strength would not do... the old man's death was a painful, but clear reminder of that. While they did not follow the same path, his siblings did seem to agree that they all had their own paths to follow. With a promise to see each other and keep in touch they walked their separate paths. Kasachi hoped and wished them the best before he headed straight into a hell of his own making.

While Kasachi Hyouta might have disappeared then, it took a while before any news of Deathstalker began to circulate. A Chimera that devoured its own kind like a voracious eater, moving from Ward to Ward without care of territories and leaving plenty of conflict in its wake as Ghouls scrambled to become leader in the areas it had purged of previous ownership. Occasionally it would drop off the news for months on end, but just as rumors of its death began to circulate the Chimera would appear to feast again. There were even sparse reports of CCG encounters, but many were short-lived as the Ghoul seemed to quickly flee from Investigators that shouldn't have posed a challenge for such a rating.

Just as the rumors had seemed to become routine, yet another ripple stirred the mills. Apparently Deathstalker had been upgraded to a SS rank by the CCG, a rank certainly warranted by the rumor that held the Ghoul had obtained a Kakuja. Yet for all that people tried to find out about this new development it seemed that he had truly disappeared. Months passed by with little news, until it had been a year since any real sighting of the Ghoul.

As if to show the world, or more specifically three specific people, he still lived Kasachi appeared, clad in his Kakuja, in bright day-light. It was certainly an odd occurence with plenty of panic as the local CCG assets scrambled to respond, but he had retreated rapidly after confirming the first news camera on scene. No overlord or savior but himself. He did this several other times at apparently random intervals to reassure his family that, yes, he was still alive.

Although he had paid the grave numerous times, Kasachi could not say he had ever felt this proud when he approached. It wasn't hubris to say that only the greatest of threats would be able to harm what was left of his family as long as he was around. He promised the old man he would protect them to the best of his abilities, and now he hoped that they would let him do just that. For one reason they had gathered at the grave site today as well, so he supposed he was about to find out.

Other:
_{Enjoys Vietnamese iced coffee immensely. He can't use as much condensed milk since too much disagrees with his inhuman nature, but a bit doesn't bother him.
Often times Kasachi will leave human bodies untouched unless there's an urgent need to feed, such as he's just finished a battle with Investigators. It's probably a laughable effort from him, but he tries to at least make the corpses somewhat presentable. Better a clean cut to separate the legs or arms than bite marks.}

Name: Itsuki

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Height & Weight: 6ft, 175 lbs

Sexuality: Straight

CCG Rating: SS-

CCG Title: The Hunter

Mask:

Kagune: Itsuki's Kagune takes on the appearance of large, black tentacle covered with jagged, serrated scales, and ending in a hand-like appendage with 4 sharp claws. They can pack quite a punch, and the grasping claws can be used to pick up, drag, and toss around foes and random objects in a fight. He can have up to six of them at a time, and he can wrapp them around a limb to give it extra hitting power, or fuse them together to from an even bigger tendril that is more durable and hits harder, but is also slower and harder to maneuver, the more tentacles fused, the greater the bonuses and penalties will be.

RC Type: Rinkaku

Special Quirk: HAving spent 3 years in the 24th Ward while on his hunt for vengeance, he found himself forced to eat many many ghouls in order to survive. Dozens upon dozens of ghouls have fallen before him, and when he faced the Ghouls who killed and violated his love, he awakened the beast within him and became a Kajuka. His Kagune begans to pulse with a sickly white light and he gains scaled armor along his arms and upper body. His hans morph into deadly claws, and a mask forms over his face, reminiscent of some sort of dragonic monster. It covers his entire face, somewhat fusing with his head as well.

While in this form, his physical capabilities by a substantial margin, as well as alter his Kagune's capabilities. In Kakuja form, Itsuki's Kagune will take on a more refined form and can be fused together to make two thick clawed arms covered in scale-like armor. These arms are more durable than his base Kagune, meaning they aren't as easily cut by a foe's Kagune it a Dove's Quinque.

The downside to these abilities, however, is that Itsuki is still getting the hang of his Kakuja form, meaning that he's more likely to act instinctually while in it, essentially trading a good deal of his rationality for a sizable increase in power, and afterwards, he's struck by an intense form of hunger, fatigue, and weakness as his body struggles with the strain.

Personality: Itsuki always was one to have a smile in his face, regardless of how he really felt. Now of days, that smile hardly ever reaches his eyes anymore, as they're haunted by what he's scene and what he's done on the past four years. He tries his best to be there for others, and has long since lost his own sense of self-worth. The only reason he lives for now is so that he can protect those close to him.

Backstory: Itsuki found himself orphaned at a young age due to a Gang war between two rival Ghoul factions, the poor couple caught in the cross-fire. Young as he was, Itsuki had the presence of mind that he couldn't stay around his home any longer, and thus began to wander the streets like many other Ghoul's within Tokyo. However, he had the luck of being picked up by a kind old man, and in time, grew to bind with a new family. Life in the manor was grand, and as one of the older kids, he felt like it was his duty to protect his adopted brothers and sisters from any harm, getting in trouble from time to time for getting in fights with bullies, both human and the occasional ghoul.

This all changed one day, however, when he once again lost a loved one to violence. The knowledge of the old man's death struck him savagely, leaving a large hole in his life, but he didn't want to have this tragedy phase him. The old man had always done his best to make sure they could live as humans, and he continued to follow this path, working to keep up in his studies, burying himself in his work, all the while secretly trying to drown out his sorrow. The others left soon after the man's death, and while it saddened him to see his family splinter off like that, at that time, he was too absorbed with his self-given task. As he grew up, his grades and school life seemed to get better and better, while his depression got worse and worse. He saw only futility in his present course after awhile,as he knew discovery was just one simple misstep away, and then he'd end up just like the old man. He likely would've killed himself sooner or later, but one chance encounter with another student at a student council meeting completely changed his life. Hiyori was her name, and she was nothing but energy and ambition, determined to become an Investigator and protect people from the ghoul threat.

She had come to the council to get approval on a ghoul awareness rally, and was given unanimously approval(no matter how much he wish he had a choice not to), but then he somehow got roped into helping her plan it. To say it was an extremely ironic and terrifying scenario was an understatement, as he found himself in constant contact with someone who openly stated she wanted to become a ghoul's worse nightmare. However, as they spent time together, he found himself becoming inexplicably drawn to her. Even after the rally was done with, the two continue to spend time together.

This relationship continued even after she became a investigator at the age of 18, as the two had become grown deeply in love. He always suspected that she knew his true nature, though, but she never seemed like she was anxious or nervous around, almost like she didn't care. Whether or not that was true, however, would never be proven. 2 years later, Hiyori was found torn to pieces after her mentor had decided to go after a particularly dangerous pair of ghouls. The evidence suggested that while her mentor was killed quickly, Hiyori was raped and tortured before she died.

And so Itsuki lost another loved one, but this time, he wasn't goong to let the monsters who did this get away with it. He left his human life behind and went into the hell where the two ghouls were rumored to have retreated to escape CCG pursuit: the 24th ward. He spent 4 years in that hell, throwing away all of his kindness and pacisfistic ways in his singular desire for vengeance. He devoured many a ghoul, as there were no peaceful ways to feed in this constant battlefield, and the only law was that of the jungle, where the strong reign and the weak are slaughtered.

A week previous to the beginning of this RP, Itsuki has returned to his homeward, having obtained his vengeance about a month before. . . but at what cost? He has no clue of what to do next in his life, and feels as lost as the day his parents died. Seeking guidance, he returns to the mansion of his childhood, hoping he can find some sort of answer with in it's charred remains.

Other:
Due to a mutation within his genes, Itsuki's Kakugan turns his pupils and iris a pale, lumnesent white instead of red, giving them an unnerving look, even to other ghouls.

My overlord and Savior( besides God) is sugar. I will do everything and anything for my next sugar fix

Good to see some Cs's. Will evaluate them later today.

And bam, should be done now. Might touch up on it since I haven't slept for just over a day now, but yeah, should be ready for judging.

Hehe, I should reserve just to let you know that I will join~

Kasachi Hyouta:@Zombehs I understand leaving some of the bio free so that you can fill it up later with the other characters.

Now, moving up to the next parts of the review.

Brutal, very much so. I like how his convictions are to protect those he considers as siblings.

The double kagune is a cool add-on, and the kakuja seems more for protection rather than actual fighting, aye?

In any case, you did answer my question, though not quite in the fashion I expected xD

So, yes, I do not see anything glaringly wrong with it as of now. I look forward to seeing how he will develop in the future, and I get the feeling that his good natured could be rather easily corrupted by using the others.

Accepted. Feel fee to post him over in the Character tab-

Itsuki@Raijinslayer: Another 'I got to protect my siblings' with a Kakuja.

I like the concept of his kagune and kakuja though.

His backstory is also cool, reminds me a bit of Kimi and Nishiki. Plus the Dove and cannibal bits.

You however, forgot to add the answer to the question asked in the OP xD

There are also some typos here and there in the backstory, so I'd like it if you could fix 'em.

His somewhat emo persona goes with the edgy effect I wanted for the RP, so that's cool too.

So, just fix some of those typos and add the proof of having read the rules and it'll be accepted.

---

In other news, I'm working on my own character now. Probably going to be a girl.

@GrafRoy Zeppeli Ai, that his Kakuja is. It doesn't really make him any faster or stronger, just makes him tough as nails to kill.

@GrafRoy ZeppeliGlad you like it, and I fixed the question bit. Will fix typos later when I'm not on my mobile device.

TYPICAL MEXICAN SNAKE NOT EVEN WARNING ME OF THIS.

Consider me in.

@SavatoHey Sav, haven't seen you in awhile. How are things?

@Raijinslayer Yo Raijin!

Well, decent I suppose. Won't drown you with the story of muh life.

You?

Also considering two boys have been made, changing my plans to a girl then.

@SavatoI'm a bit sick, weather where I live is hit as hell in Feburary, and I'm going paintballing on Monday, so I guess it's okay.

So, what idea do you have in store for this RP, I'm curious?

@GrafRoy Zeppeli Thing I finished up all the typos.

@Raijinslayer Very Gooey Kagune.

Very selfish and cheap personality.

Going full Final Hipster XIII and not give her a Kakuja.

I should make you co-GM Savato xD

Sorry for the delay on my sheet, been busy. Watching deadpool... xD

And sorry man lol won't forget you next time

@GrafRoy Zeppeli I'm not actually mad.

It happens to get carried away.

Like how XCOM 2 ruined my social and RP life.

Buy it.

@SavatoI would, except it's PC only. I understand why they went that direction, but at the same time, the disappointment is real.

@Raijinslayer I can see why it is PC only honestly. It'd be pretty hard to navigate through it. Though it was successful with the previous version so they could probably optimize it.

It maybe because of the low sales in the consoles, though it's a guess because I don't know the numbers too well.

I think they'll make a console port. The game had IMMENSE success. There's no reason not to after a couple of months at max.
