Seven Children of all manner of diferente ages and backstories suddenly find that they were transported to a world known as Eden and given strange powers. Will they be able to find a way back home while trying to survive against the sinister Shadows and catering to the whims of the mysterious being self entitled the Game Master?


O V E R V I E W
Without any explanation as to why and how, a group of children of any age between ten and seventeen found themselves waking up on the floor of what a derelict classroom, partially overgrown by vegetation. A mysterious being, who manifests only in the form of a cute little critter, calling itself the Game Master was there to greet them and tell that they were chosen to take part in a survival game (with the fate of the whole world at stake) on a world known as Eden (which looks suspiciously like post-apocalyptic Tokyo where nature took back what men stole, in spades).

The objective of the game? Take down the mysterious Shadows while gathering the clues set by the Game Master as their only hope to get back home. To help with this task, each child was given ESP powers, but little to no instruction about how to use them. If this will be enough for the task and what other mysteries would be unfolded was yet to be seen.

The rule 0 of RPGs.

Standard RPing etiquette. Don't be a jerk, follow the Guild's and the GM's rules, no god-modding, etc... All of you know the drill, let's just follow it, please.

Wait at least a couple people before you post again on the IC so that this doesn't become a fast posting game. This is rule subject to change depending on the story needs.

Keep your post within a reasonable length and quality. At least a paragraph of decent that advances the story in some way, but no more than three or four, unless you really have something meaningful to add.

Only one character per player.

Death is a real possibility, but not a certainty, on this story. Be mindful of it when making choices because they may have consequences harmful to either you or the other PCs.

Use your common sense.

The Golden rule of RPGs.


C H A R A C T E R S H E E T
Name: What's your name? You can include nicknames and titles/other aliases as well.
Age: What's your age? Must be between 10 and 17 years old.
Height: What's your height?
Weight: What's your weight?

Appearance: How do you look? A picture, description or both are good. Anime style pictures only, please, if you choose to use them.

Power: What is your character's power? Only one per character, please. Try to be creative but do not go overboard. The power limit is of moderate ESP abilities, like short-range teleportation or, car flipping psychokinesis.

Intro Post: This is technically your intro to the story, write about what your character was doing before being transported to Eden. You don't need to describe a whole day of life or so, just the most important/defining moments, until your character suddenly blacks out. The RP will begin with them waking up, so don't add this part to the intro, please. Keep this at a two paragraphs (around 1000 characters) maximum, please.

Other: Optional. Anything not described above, trivia and small facts about your character, theme songs, etc.

Here's my character:

Name: Hoshikawa Minato (星川ミナト)
Age: 17 years old.
Height: 164 cm/5'4"
Weight: 52 kg/114,6 lbs

Appearance: As seen above.

Power: Psychokinesis.

Intro Post:
"Ah, entrance exams are such a bother. Why do we have to study so much before going to college?" Minato sighed a tired sigh. She wasn't complaining to anyone in particular, in fact, she wasn't complaining to anyone given that she'd been alone in her room ever since she woke up, face buried in books and more books, toiling through the direst days of her life. High school hadn't even ended yet, but she had to endure this workload if she wanted to give a better living to her family. That was the least she could do to repay them for all the sacrifices they made up to now, after all.

Minato doze of somewhere in the middle of her study session. The last thing she remembered was roasting in her room, during a terribly hot afternoon, while glaring the younger kids going to the public pool without a care in the world. "Geez, being a third-year student is certainly harsh," the last thought in her mind. However, what was waiting for Minato when she woke up was a much harsher reality...

Name: Jonathan Vento
Age: 17
Height: 164 cm
Weight: 57 kg
Appearance:


Power: “Mini-storm”
Jonathan can form gusts of wind around his hands~arms and feet~legs, though they can’t reach very far.

Intro Post:
Jonathan crashed on his bed, throwing his bag away to the corner of his room. He turned around and pulled out his phone, turning it on to text to his friends. ‘Today was pretty much a mess.’ He thought. ‘Allen broke up, I lost my notebook, tons of homework due Friday...’ he sighed, but soon smirked as he saw a funny pic his friend uploaded on the group chat.
“That’s gonna be reused forever.
He muttered to himself as he turned his phone off and put it on his desk. He screened his eyes, though his room’s light was off, and sighed. ‘For a better tomorrow.’ He wished. He could hear his mom snoozing in her room. Wearing an exhausted smile on his face, Jonathan lied on his bed without thinking anymore until he finally fell asleep.

Name: Carson Takeshi
Age: 16
Height: 6'1
Weight: 198lbs

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Appearance:


Power: "Earthbending."
If it comes from the earth then Carson is able to manipulate it to his will, but first he has to actually know what he's doing before he can do so.

Intro Post: A groan escaped Carson as he cracked his neck and rolled his shoulders before letting a satisfied grin roll onto his face. He scanned his surroundings as he took in his work and chuckled as the crumbled and beaten bodies of a few thugs from his school laid on the ground and groaned in pain. He spat some blood onto one of the thugs and buried his hands into his jackets pockets. "Well that was fun boys, but if that's all ya got then I'm heading out. Next time at least make me put in some effort in a fight," he said before stepping over their defeated forms and exited the dark alley they had been in. He let out one last sigh before flipping his hood over his head and began to walk home.

After a few hours of cutting a few alleys to avoid patrolling cops he reached his crappy apartment that rested within a rather bad part of the neighborhood. With a frown he made his way to his apartment and entered. "I'm home!" he shouted as he tossed his shoes off next to a smaller pair belonging to his little sister. He walked through the apartment and leaned around the corner to see a small form resting peacefully on the living rooms couch. He quietly made his way over and saw a few pages of finished homework laying next to the meal he had made for her when she got home. Carson chuckled and looked to his sister before shaking his head and gently picking her up. He carried her to her room, tucked her in and silently made his way out. With the exhaustion of the day and the bruises from his fight beginning to take hold of Carson he quickly ate whatever he could find and headed to his room. He flopped onto his bed, not bothering to take off his cloths and sighed heavily as he closed his eyes to enter the only peace he could gain from this day. "Just another day," he mumbled before his mind finally shut down.

Other: Theme song cuz why not? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEq0paFrK1E

Here's my CS. I had to make some edits, but let me know if you want any more changes done.


Name: Edmond “Ed” Roux
Age: 13
Height: 5’2”
Weight: 108 lbs

Appearance: The picture is partly a reference for how he looks when activating his power. His eyes are naturally blue. It’s just that when not using his power, they don’t glow unnaturally and energy isn’t bending around him.

Power: Psychic Infusion
Ed can imbue objects and beings with his own psionic energy, altering or amplifying their qualities and efficiency. He may even enhance the special abilities of others.

Intro Post: Edmond listlessly kicked away a small stone he’d found on his trek along a stretch of train tracks, but felt the urge to continue on his way otherwise. With his school backpack draped over his shoulders, he could feel its weight starting to wear against him. It was especially heavy today. Sliding his hands into his sweater’s front pockets, his mind turned to how cold it’d eventually get, and he inwardly patted himself on the back for sneaking into the old trainyard where he secretly changed his clothes. What’s more, hardly anyone would look twice at him now that he was out of his uniform.

Diverting from the tracks and the abandoned field of uneven overgrowth that surrounded them, Edmond moved on until he reached a public street, doing his best to blend in with a midday crowd of pedestrians. In no time he found himself timidly waiting at a bus stop, careful to avoid eye contact with anyone waiting also, and especially not with any passengers he passed by on his way to the back of the transit, where he set his backpack at his feet and wistfully looked outside his seat’s side window.

Other: Edmond’s first language is french, but he also speaks english with a noticeable accent.

Hikaru Ishida


Name:

Hikaru Ishida

Age:

16

Height:

6ft/ 182cm

weight:

189lbs/85.7kg

Power:

shapeshifting – he can shapeshift into anything he has seen may it be an animal, human or object he can change into it.

Intro Post:

Hikaru was at the place he spends most of his time the library reading. He knew every inch of the library every nerd on the self. he was one of the biggest nerds in the school and, yet he was the most feared. he walked down the rows of books looking at every book until he found what he was looking for the book he needed for history. He grabbed the book off the shelf and headed to one of the empty study room. As he turned the cover out of the history section he felt a little lightheaded than collapse on the floor and blackout.

Would it break your game for my character's power to be seeing the future?

I'd prefer not to have any kind of power dealing with time in this story. It's not that I'm against it, but that they complicate the narrative far too much for anyone's benefit.

Unless it's postcognition (seeing the past), then I could actually think of nice ways to use it for the plot.

Either way, it seems like your character will be the last one. I'll go ahead and change the status on this to closed.

First draft, tear it apart.
I'll format it a bit probably, once it's accepted.
