The Seven Mysteries Of The School - A Mystery RP!

[Hebigami Shiho]

As you stroll by the school, your eyes are attracted to a certain poster stuck on the wall. Upon close inspection, you can notice that it is a poster from a certain club, requesting new members:

THE MYSTERY SOLVING CLUB IS NOW RECRUITING!

Do you enjoy the thrill of solving impossible mysteries?
Do you know all about the school as you claim to?
Are you curious about the mystifying 'Seven Mysteries of Mayami Academy?

Then join the club right now! We will uncover those mysteries together! We cover each others backs!
We are located in classroom A-013

_{If you are indeed interested in joining, we suggest that you bring some kind of weapon. You will need it}

An ominous poster that stands in plain sight like that.... You can't help but wonder if the principal and the faculty haven't got mental yet. Still, there's a certain something that compels you to go check on the club, perhaps the whole ominous aura that the sole poster gives off, or perhaps true curiosity about the Seven Mysteries, even the intent to try and stop those people from doing something so foolish. Regardless of the reason, you have decided to go check it out.

In the first place, were there Seven Mysteries in the school? You've never heard of them before, but these people assure that they exist. Even more so.... don't some of the third year students that you see around seem scared of that poster?

Hello one and all! I bring you another RP! I hope people take an interest on this as well! Now, unto some of the details! This will be a Casual (mild)Horror/Mystery/Slice of Life RP and, while I do not expect a number of paragraphs per post, I do expect some quality in each one of them. Give me a one liner if you want! As long as it is a good line, I won't complain! :D (that's a joke, btw, I expect at the very least a paragraph xD) This RP will also have a limited number of spots, as I'll accept only about 8 people into this. Oh, and characters will all be human. They may gain some kind of ability in the long run, but in the start, they are normal humans.

I will say this from the start though: PEOPLE CAN AND WILL DIE probably. If you are intelligent enough, that might not happen. ;P As so, every time someone dies, I will open up a new spot for another person. Even so, people with already dead characters cannot make another one, as they will have an opportunity to appear again later on when solving other mysteries.

This RP (most obviously) will revolve around the Seven Mysteries of the school, Mayami Academy. However, these mysteries aren't as nice and innocent as the mysteries of other schools. These ones actually have their fair share of danger, hence why the club president asks new members to come in with weapons with them.

As far is it is known, only two of the mysteries have been 'discovered', as only their name is known.

• Mystery #1: Classroom Of The Unholy
• Mystery #2: The Carnival Of The Hollow Voices
• *NODATA*
• *NODATA*
• *NODATA*
• *NODATA*
• *NODATA*

Yep, even the names are ominous. Anyhow, each and every one of these are lethal in nature and will need a huge amount of wits, and sometimes brute force, to outcome them. Still, you would think, why would mere students risk their lives in something like this? The answer is simple. An order issued by the principal with the promise of a wish when everything is solved to each and every one of the club members, any wish at all.

In order to solve the mysteries, I will signal out things at the start of the, let's call them, 'stage', and from there you guys will go on. I will send PM's to people whenever they can discover something, taking into account their abilities as well. Anywho, I hope people like this and IF this gets enough interest, I will throw in a CS for you to fill out!

So, get into the club, solve mysteries, discover the true reason behind the mysteries AND the club and have your wish come true!

Thanks for reading~! And I hope you like this! :D I will also answer any questions you have, so ask away!

[Kaito Kuze]

Looks interesting :3

[DJAtomika]

Why does this remind me of Corpse Party.

Interest. Tentative.

[MyCatGinger]

Interest indicated! This sounds lovely. ^^

[Valhalla]

Interested!

[Pudding]

I like the systems you have. I'm interested.
I feel as if my character will end up dying soon, but I'm fine with it, ahahaha.

[Hebigami Shiho]

Great to see some interest! :D I'll put a CS in a few, still at school. :(

[Duthguy]

Might be fun

Here's the CS! Feel free to fill it up anytime! Now, I'm going to class, see ya boys!

[Rainmaker]

Showing some tentative interest as well. I'll fill out a CS later!

[MyCatGinger]

Ah! I've got two questions, Shiho!
The first: Do we just post our CSs here when we're done? I'm not even near started, by any means, but intend on doing so right now, but...ah, it would be nice if they got approved here and we could move through the OOC post-count and have the character slots ready to go. But...yes. Here?
The second: As for the 'relationships' section of the CSs, will you choose them for us? Or will we have to come back and update them as the story goes on? And on that note, can characters know each other prior to starting the RP? For example, with agreement of the other party of course, character x is character y's second cousin...or something more probable, perhaps childhood friend, or whatnot.
Appreciate it! I'm glad this looks like it's picking up steam fast!

[Hebigami Shiho]

For your first question, that's exactly right. Please post your CS in here first and after a few CS's have been accepted, I will put up an OOC. :)

As for the second one, you'll have to update them as the story goes on. Not constantly though. Only when you think the time is right. And that section is, in fact, to encourage pre-existing relationships. So, yeah! You can plan things out with someone else and have a pre-existing relationship with them!

[Rainmaker]

Hm, since this is a school setting game, is there like a certain uniform or can people mainly choose for themselves? That's the only part I'm still unsure about.

[Hebigami Shiho]

I actually wanted to ask you guys. If you indeed want to have some pretty uniforms for yourselves, then they would be these ones.

Uniforms

If you don't want to, then people can just go to school with whatever clothes they want to. ;P

[Pudding]

Um maybe not the gekkoukan high ones.

[Hebigami Shiho]

All righty then. I accept any suggestions you guys may have! I'll still search for some on my own, though.

[Hebigami Shiho]

Well, here's another suggestion.

Male Uniform!

Female Uniform

So, how about these ones?

[Rainmaker]

Let's start us off then!

Shiro

Appearance Description: Shiro stands at 5'5 with an average build, messy white hair and dark, nearly black eyes that tend to be half-closed with her face sporting a blank stare. In school she usually wears a black vest or jacket over a white blouse along with a long skirt in the same dark colour that goes just over her knees.

Name: Shiromi Kurosawa, 'Shiro' in short.

Age: 17

Year: 3

Reason For Joining: She didn't want it as much as she was dragged into it by her friend. Granted, she could sleep through pretty much anything, but even for someone like her there was only so much whining one could take. 'Shirooo, just come along already! I don't wanna go by myself! Come on, it'll be fuuun!' In the hopes that she might finally get some calm if she just came along once, and for the sake of her arm which suffered entirely too much tugging in the past weeks, Shiro eventually relented. It's not like she minded 'mystery solving' in particular, and it was certainly less stressful than being pushed into a sports club...

Personality: Quiet and aloof to the point of being completely apathetic. If it wasn't for her friends making her do it, she would likely be too lazy to meet with anyone at all - in her first two years she got away without joining a club, but she got dragged into the mystery solving club for her third one. She thinks a lot and contemplates even seemingly mundane things for a long time, and gets annoyed when people make rash decisions or become loud and irritating - Shiro finds it hard to empathise with their enthusiasm. Despite all that, she is fond of her friends.

Skills: Shiro is, despite her sluggishness, very intelligent and especially great at tactical and logical thinking, and can come up with a plan no matter the situation. Very perceptive, especially concerning smaller details others might miss - whether those details imclude small changes in the environment, things that are just slightly off or even small mood changes and little 'tells' in others that could, for example, give away a lie or when someone is uncomfortable talking about something. She is also oddly good at lying herself, something she picked up to get out of obligations more easily.

Biography: Shiro grew up in a small mansion in the mountains that belonged to her parents, a considerable distance away from any major city - as such it was only natural that she didn't form many bonds with other children her age and grew up every bit as quiet as she is today. In fact, as far as anyone can remember, she has always been the same way; when classmates wanted to go for a run around the hills or for a swim in the river Shiro was the one who either didn't come at all, sat on the sidelines, or asked for a break every five minutes. When they went for a trip to the city, whether by car or train, she was dozing off a few seconds in, and when she was told to play with the dog she let him run around the garden while she slept on the porch. Even in class, she's usually found leaning all the way back in her chair or resting her head on her palm, one hand over an eye, just barely awake - though her grades are still good, which seems like a miracle to anyone who meets her.
Her pondering comes with positive sides too - she often notices small things others miss as her mind lingers on the tiniest details.

Relationships: ~for later~

Other: ~for later~

I'm not exactly sure about this. I took the anime/manga tag and the name of the academy as orientation so I thought Japanese names and odd hair colours would be pretty par for the course, none of that is necessarily set in stone yet though. I'll expand some on appearance if needed and change it depending on how the uniform thing works out.

[Pudding]

You could make it, there is a school uniform, but people do not wear because they choose not to.
That way, there is a uniform for those who want it, and another option for those whom don't.

Uniform Stoof

> Begins making her CS

[MyCatGinger]

Glorified leader,
Since I definitely want to be a part of this, but I'm afraid I won't be able to get in a CS today, or early 'tomorrow' because I'll be going to a convention, may I leave here as a placeholder what I already have about my character and end up editing it and finishing it when I can?

PS: I think my character will stick with the uniform. The male one for the second set you posted, Shiho, was pretty sweet.

Takeshi Miyazaki

Appearance Description: 181cm. 80kg.
Words like "short" and "scrawny" wouldn't even begin to describe the Takeshi you see today, though in his childhood they seemed a lot more applicable. Now, an aura of comely maturity has definitely replaced all that. Standing at a stable 5'11, the adolescent growth spurt appears to have hit him quite hard. He's not muscular or fat, but not bone-thin either, maintaining a healthy weight, if leaning slightly towards the higher bracket, credited to his love of caramel and caramel-including-foods. His hair is a short (a little below the jawline) dark brown, near-black, and among the many tufts he has an inch-wide section deep within the mess of hair that's dyed a cobalt blue, which can be seen when he shakes his hair out. Contributing to his ever-so-slightly-punk image is a piercing on his right ear. Usually he wears black studs or little double-ended spike studs. His eyes are a bright yellow-amber colour, and can almost be described as puppy-like when he gazes upon something that captures his fancy. Otherwise, despite his features being not overly handsome but far from 'ugly', he's known by friends to be seen grinning a fair amount, as if he has the situation perpetually under control. He doesn't mind wearing the school's uniform and happily does so, dark blazer and trousers with the silver trim that give them the flair. His clothing outside of school consists of turtlenecks coupled with jackets in the winter, and a variety of flannel shirts in the summer and spring. He also switches between a delicate pair of spectacles in royal blue rims and contacts, though you're more likely to see him with the spectacles on. Some of his teeth on one side are a tiny bit chipped at the bottom from an incident that occurred when he was little, though it's barely noticeable. He also has the hints of dark circles.

Name: Takeshi Miyazaki

Age: 16, soon going on 17.

Year: 2

Reason For Joining: Takeshi, having spent the majority of his life at Miyama, initially thought all the rumours and mysteries were a load of malarkey. He had practically been there forever, how could things like that just slip him? Though the giddiness got the better of him and he doggedly pursued the poster's instructions, however not before he got a certain upperclassman of his in tow. For his eagerness to see what the fuss is about, and see if the rumours really are true or not, and to find out just what's going on if they are, a particular Shiro has to suffer.
He also had to find out about something that transpired at school about eight years ago for himself once and for all...

Skills: Surprisingly, an adept gardener. Though he's a little embarrassed he grows so many plants at home, especially the bright, showy kind... However, this gives him a heightened knowledge of botany, and the kinds of cures and poisons that can be extracted from or dealt with using the power of plants. At highschool student level, and from whatever the books he has on the subject have taught him, anyway.
Also plays baseball for the school team, with an affinity for the feel of the wooden baseball bat in his hands, though true matches appear to be few and far in between. He is also quite good at whistling, and with a little practice, manage a fine rendition of most simple song's melodies.
Also, computers are his second love. Using them, anyway. He's learning how to build them from scratch and some parts, though he much prefers the part where he can log on and play video games of his choice, and it's likely he knows what you're talking about when you talk to him about 'new' games in store. More so games with a mindblowing plot than what the norm might be.

Personality: Takeshi tries his hardest to be cool. Evidently, it's working for him. Though the keyword is 'tries'. Though he puts on a courageous, enthusiastic front about most anything at first glance, he's the most likely to be psyched out and panic. Concerning himself, the front is to hide a lot of deep-rooted insecurities he has, just like any other normal teenager. Concerning his friends, he's 'the grinning cheshire cat' as far as he knows, 'disappearing when danger is around'. He feels especially strongly about his cowardice, and vows to change it: Another reason why he chose to join the mystery club, but could not do it alone. He makes an effort to be charming as ever at any given point, and enjoys flirting with most pretty birds, though it's only ever lighthearted. Although he is not particularly analytical, he's got quick reflexes (thank you, baseball!) which further adds to his nickname, "The Cheshire Cat". For effect, he sometimes speaks in poetic verse that usually is very bad, but hey, if he's happy with it. He tends to be sarcastic more often than not, especially when he hasn't gotten enough sleep, though even so he's a friendly guy, and happily accepts or speaks to anyone who needs any of him, regardless of their year or status.
The most likely to think up of innovative new ideas and push for them to become a reality.

Biography: Takeshi grew up in the city, and attended the school for about as long as he can remember now. Not much truly has happened to him in his lifetime, he always had a good relationship with his family, his mother, father, older brother and younger sister...though an event from his childhood disturbs him immensely. He had a good friend who lived next-door, Shuuya, and he can't for the life of him remember what happened, but something went on at school and his friend started to become quite "paranoid" for lack of a better word. He always told Takeshi that something was wrong, that he didn't feel okay, and he felt like he was being watched and couldn't do anything against it. Takeshi brushed it off as nothing, telling his friend that he was just imagining it. However, this particular friend's odd disappearance in the next three days struck Takeshi as weird, and even weirder when the house beside his, where the boy used to live, seemed to 'shut down'. He cannot remember the last time he's seen the parents smile, and they always seem to be in a bit of a haze. Takeshi still was young then, so he doesn't remember how or why, but whenever he brought it up, his own family remained stiff-lipped, leading Takeshi to believe something had gone horribly wrong, though still left him in the dark as to what it was. He couldn't think of anywhere else but the mystery club at school that could help him solve what had happened to his friend Shuuya, or at least he could ask whoever was in charge about the events that transpired almost eight or nine years ago now.

Relationships: Good friends with his senpai Shiro, or at least he'd like to believe, but with her, you can't ever really tell...

Other: Takeshi has a pet cockatiel at home he calls "Mint" after the English name for the herb. She's quite affectionate and is happy to be perched on his shoulder while he does his gardening in his balcony, where he truly gets to grow whatever he wants, as opposed to the front yard, which happens to be his parents' domain.
