Soul Eater: Dance Of Devils

Hunting: Part 1

The woods were red. Moon light scratched at the surface of the forest floor but it’s light barely made it through the thick ceiling of blood red leaves encompassing the forest air. The dark woods echoed with a deafening silence as creatures great and small stood still and alert, waiting.
*step*

The animals scurried, they knew what happened when new prey arrived.

“N-Nika?” A trembling voice accompanied by a large frame moved into the stray strands of light. “I-I don’t wanna be here!”

Gun was not happy. He didn’t want to be in the spooky woods and he didn’t want to have to fight a monster and he definitely didn’t want to be out at night in a place called “The Forest Of Deadly Deadly-ness” which he felt wasn’t even close to foreboding enough of a name for this place. Gun would rather be back at Death City where he could have something good to eat and watch TV but no, they had to be in this scary place!

“It’s alright buddy..” Came Nika’s voice in his ear. The lithe youth was riding piggy back as usual, too lazy to walk on his own, especially when his very muscular-easy-to-carry-me-around friend was happy to assist. He yawned as they walked deeper into the forest. “We just have to get the soul and then we’ll be on our way home.” He said with a sleepy smile before resting his head on his friends back.

“DON’T GO TO SLEEP!!” Gun demanded, his voice shaking the trees. “Crap!” He shut his mouth immediately after realizing what he’d just done. He knew he was looking for the thing but he didn’t want to alert it, or anything else, early. I mean, he wanted to help but he was also kind of hoping that this was all a huge misunderstanding and that there wasn’t actually a giant beast out here. He knew that wasn’t true though, he could tell by the prints that there was definitely a creature here.
It was strange, the tracks looked like they belonged to a bipedal animal but the shape of the footprints were clearly not human. He didn’t think exotic animals existed outside of the mountains.
Which is why I didn’t want to be here…

“Hey.” The pair of arms around his neck tightened lightly, lazily nudging his cheek.. “Don’t be afraid, it’s just like a hunt in the mountains, even easier without snow to slip on or mountains to fall off of.” He went back to resting. “We’ll be okay somehow, it’s just a wild animal, right?” The pink haired mystic waited for a response before realizing they had stopped moving.

He knew what that meant.

Soul Eater: Dance Of Devils

UNDER LIGHT CONSTRUCTION

SOUL EATER: DANCE OF DEVILS

Game Master: @Kouki
Co-GM: @DearTrickster

It’s been seven years since Kishin Asura was put down, people are finally moving on from the madness that almost consumed the world. The prejudice of old are now things of the past and a new city where witches and humans gather together under Lord Death’s leadership has arisen. But things aren’t quite as great as they seem, madness is slowly growing in the darkness, seeping its way back into the real world to wreak havoc on the population’s sanity.

Once again, someone is going out of their way to revive the Kishin but they’re using a new form of madness, coming back even stronger than before.

Lucky for us, the City Of Death is now new and improved, the pact Lord Death has made with the witches has brought in new defenses. With the absence of death scythes, students have to work hard around the clock to hone their abilities and with the involvement of new supernatural forces, the student body has grown and the school has gotten even bigger.

SETTING

Plot

You are a student at Death Weapon Meister Academy, ready and willing to take on the world’s dangers. As an international police force for the supernatural, your job is to hunt down the souls of those whose make it on Lord Death’s list.

Recently, Lord Death has decided to create a specialized team of meisters and weapons, capable of accomplishing special missions entrusted to them by lord death himself. You are such a student, whose noted skills have made Lord Death aware of your worth.

Whether it was your intellect, technique, ingenuity or just overall levels of bad-ass, you have been chosen to be a part of Aegis.

Throughout the game, you’ll fight monsters of all freaky shapes and sizes, collecting artifacts and weapons (some of which I might let you keep.) With each new encounter, you’ll learn new things, add techniques to your repertoire and maybe change in unexpected ways (expect to LOSE LIMBS PEOPLE!!)

Locations

A list of the prominent areas in the Soul Eater Universe, the list will expand as we travel to different areas. Essentially, the list will grow at the same rate our experience of the world does.

Death City

Welcome to Death City, home of the DWMA. It’s expanded a lot in the last seven years due to the migration of witches into the city. With the new additions of magic and barriers, crime has come to a complete halt. There hasn't been a major infraction in over 5 years, something Lord Death sights often to promote the unity between humans and witches for the future.

It's been seven years, here are a list of some of the new additions to the city.

• Magic District- A new addition to the city made after a considerable amount of witches took up residence. It is home to Death City’s resident spell casters and home to new book stores and occult shops. This area is often treated with light trepidation by other Death City citizens because of the witch’s natural pull to destruction still being a cause of fear. There’s a barrier around this part of the city that stops magic from reaching the other areas unless allowed by Lord Death. It was created using a mix of magic and science so it requires people from both sides to deactivate.

• The AARI- Advanced. Alchemical. Research. Institute. This facility was created for the sole purpose of utilizing the joint intellectual fields of witches and humans, creating magic devices that are backed by scientific research. This alchemical reaction has provided us with such inventions as the teleportation system and the anti-madness field generators that allow witches to perform magic to full effect and cancel out madness to a certain degree. A lot of the science is actually based off of Medusa’s clown experiments with touches added to stabilize its structure.

GAMEPLAY

General Rules

1. Please be a fan of the show/manga (MANGA WOULD BE BEST) and have watched a lot of the episodes, I...I just don't want to do a lot of explaining...I'm sorry… We are both well versed in all things Soul Eater and we all have access to Soul Eater Wiki, so we can definitely answer questions about certain aspects you’re not sure of. Do not expect us to sit you down and retell the entire story and explain all the mechanics behind it. That’s stupid.

2. Obviously, no godmodding and no knowing things you couldn't possibly have known without a series of events around you. No metagaming, for godssakes no. This includes being untouchable in combat, reading people’s thoughts, knowing and reacting to events that your character can’t possibly have known about, any deus ex machina of any sort, and so on. Basically, common sense. We’re telling a story, not hacking a video game.

3. Don't make up events on your own. Events and history is really something I think the GM should be in charge of right? This is a linear storytelling style RP, with that said please do not hesitate to bring up your ideas to either of the GM’s via PM or through the OOC. We’d love to hear what you have to say.

4. Grammar/Spelling is a key point, please make sure you proofread your posts for grammatical errors before posting them. I will accept minor flaws but not a massive amount. We are human and fully capable of mistakes and editing.

5. Please try not to have too many absences. We understand that life happens. In a case where a player has 7 days of unexplained absence from IC and OOC, they will receive one warning- via a PM and @ mention. If the same player drags their feet again it will be an automatic boot without notification. This goes for collaborative posts as well. If your collab partner drops off the face of the Earth, you are free to write them out and finish a post. We do want to encourage healthy amount of activity in the OOC. Communication as always is key. I would rather you guys take your time with a post than just make something up but I also don't want you guys to go weeks without participating without an explanation. To that same effect if you do feel you are unable to keep up, lost interest, or real life is dragging you away please notify us. It’s courtesy.

6. Romance, is acceptable to a degree. This is an action/adventure RP there will be little focus on Slice of Life elements or Romance. Granted there will be time for players and characters to interact whether that grows into friendship or a relationship, it will not be the focus of this RP. This game is PG-13, these characters are primarily teens R Rated activities are checked at the door.

7. Do not criticize another writer’s character. We will not tolerate any bashing, insults or general foul play in the OOC. Don’t be an asshole.

8. GM’s have the final say on arguments, PVP and character acceptance. You won’t do well to argue, you are welcome to make alterations and work with us on improving your character. We will not tolerate someone arguing with us.

Character Creation

Weapon

The demon weapons, beings who can freely transform into demon weapons and channel their meister’s soul through their bodies, allowing them to release powerful attacks

Rules

You have one weapon form, unless you have a good reason otherwise.
You cannot turn into a pair of something, having two weapons requires two people capable of transforming.
You can get hurt in weapon form
You can fight without a meister
You cannot perform soul resonance without a meister

If your character goes against any of the rules above, please make your case as to why and we'll discuss it.

Meister

Meisters are beings who can utilize their soul wavelength and wield a demon weapon. Through synchronization, the meister channels their soul power through their weapon partner and defend people from the forces of evil.

They aren’t just people who use weapons though, any being with a soul can become a meister and with the prejudices of the old generation being thrown away, a new wave of students stretching, from witch to werewolf, are now up and going but don’t think humans are obsolete. A powerful soul, an incredible intellect, or skills beyond that of an average human being, each meister is a warrior tasked with the job of analyzing their situation and working with their weapon to create the best result.

Rules

Anything with a soul can be a meister, including animals.
Meisters are not immortal
Meisters are incredibly durable though
Meisters are fairly athletic
You can fight without your weapon
You cannot perform soul resonance without your weapon

Combat

NPCs

It goes without saying that we’ll be fighting a lot in this crazy supernatural action manga RP about super strong children who, on average, defy the laws of physics.

This said, I do want to establish a certain level of order on your capabilities in any given combat situation. Enemies will vary between fodder and high level balls of death. At the beginning of each encounter, I’ll tell you what we’re facing and how strong they are in comparison to you. I’ll split them between two levels..

Fodder- Easily dispatched, you have complete freedom with these guys especially when fighting them in the open. You don’t need to wait for me to verify if your attacks hit, they’ll be direct hits every time cause these guys are nothing compared to you.

Elite- PvP Rules apply here, no attack makes contact, launch and then I’ll tell you what happens. Please check the PvP rules below for more information.

(PvP)Player Vs Player

When two players duke it out, there always needs to be a set of rules and regulations to balance out the fun of the breath taking event.

1. No attack makes contact, nothing is "too fast for them to see" and none of that "it was a move that couldn't be dodged" nonsense where one person tries to write another in a corner so they can't do anything.

2. Remember, you don't know what the other player is thinking.

3. No matter how much stronger you think you are, your attack doesn't automatically hit (that's not a thing we're gonna let happen).

4. If there's an attack you can't dodge, say it hit you. I don't want a bunch of arguments going on about how “unfair” it is that someone's dodging everything.

5. In that same respect, don't call “unfair” just because you're losing against someone who you knew you weren't going to beat in the first place. Losing is just as fun and interesting as winning, get creative and remember injuries don’t disappear overnight. We have a very wide range of options for characters and abilities but if you pick someone weaker than it'll take A LOT more work to fight someone who's exponentially stronger than you.

Combat: Meister and Weapon

This is a set of rules and guidelines created to keep the combat in this game fluid while maintaining the fundamental/key aspects of Soul Eater, primarily the relationship between Weapon and Meister and how they (and you) should conduct yourselves in any combat situations.

Here, I will explain the limitations and requirements for a meister player and a weapon player..

Basics

Meisters have the most autonomy in a combat situation, once transformed, the weapon player will rely primarily on the meister character to maneuver them, The meister does not require permission from the weapon to block, attack or move around, the basic maneuvers of battle are the meister’s decision.

EX:Player M pulled his weapon up to block, knocking the spikes back into the ground, he dashed off just as a hail more fell from the sky before turning to smack the barrage away.

For basics like this, the meister will take the lead.

The weapon player’s autonomy is much lower after transforming but can still take a part in the combat by guiding the meister player simply through speaking.

EX: ”Shit” Player W cursed as the spikes struck his weapon form, a small cut appearing on his shoulder. He held through, focusing his energy on defense as his meister struck the next attack away “Hey, he’s weak against fire, get close and I’ll turn up the heat!” He said to his meister..

A weapon who has transformed can’t move on their own, but they can still see and speak and feel significant amounts of damage. This means that the majority of what a weapon does will be talking and reacting.

Stick to these rules and you can have swift, fluid action sequences while respecting the lore and your partner. Please, do not hold a conversation with your partner before doing the most simplistic things, we will be here forever.

Specials

As for non-basic attacks, such as your weapon’s special abilities and the like, these require a brief amount of communication, after which the weapon gains a bit of control. The meister cannot activate abilities without the weapon.

EX:
“Alright, time for the fire!” Player M smirked as he dashed through the onslaught of fired spikes. He dodged and swerved, cutting the attack to launch himself, weapon first at the demon.

Player W reacted the moment he heard the call. “Yeah, time for the fire!” he agreed with genuine glee. As his meister made their way to the target, Player W charged up his fire, flames beginning to coat the outer layer of his weapon form. Suddenly, the demon was right before him. Player W inhaled and the flames swelled and burst forward, scorching the monster’s face in a flash of heat and rage.

As you can see, while the meister player still has the freedom of mobility, whether or not the actual attack is activated relies completely on the weapon. For this reason, it would be best to discuss your plans with your partner before attacking, through PMs or on the OOC, whichever works.

Soul Resonance

Soul resonance, this requires both player’s full cooperation.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE CAN YOU PERFORM A SOUL RESONANCE TECHNIQUE WITHOUT BOTH PLAYER’S CONSENT.

Soul resonance is a powerful technique that allows you to harness the full might of the synchronisation between a weapon and a meister’s soul. Through this resonance, you can unleash an attack with devastating power. BUT, it requires both players to pull off. The meister must first attempt it, then the weapon agrees and attempts to resonate as well, once both player’s intents are confirmed, the meister may attack.

EX

Player M wiped the sweat from his forehead as the demon rose from the flames. He face palmed. “Of course it wouldn’t be that easy!” With a twirl of his weapon he sighed. “Let’s go W, time for SOUL RESONANCE!” He closed his eyes and his soul began to swell, attempting to connect with his weapon.

Player W Sighed in unison with his partner. “I hear what you’re saying, this guy isn’t going down.” Eyes flaring with the blaze of his soul, Player W let the rush of his meister’s soul wavelength connect with his own, synching up as their bodies and minds moved as one.

Player M pulled his weapon back, blade turning into an explosive ball of golden flames. “Let’s do this, SUPER ATTACK NAME, go!” He shouted before exploding forward, weapon raised above his head. With a swing, he smashed it against the demon’s skull, breaking it into pieces.

The relationship between the weapon and meister is important. Just because a weapon can’t move on it’s own doesn’t mean the meister player should take them out of decision making. The special abilities and, most importantly, the soul resonance that a weapon can provide are theirs to give.

Weapon and meister must work together,

must communicate

and must have an understanding.

Created this, an explanation of how meister and weapons should conduct themselves in this game. This will help you regulate yourselves and help to keep up the fluidity of combat.

I'll add it to the OP

And please....write better than the examples, they are strictly examples of your limitations and how you should interact, they are not an example of the quality of writing that should be put into said interactions.

Soul Eater RP

Cassie is 16. Should I lower her current age?

@alexfangtalon

The original cast was between 14-15 throughout the series, you are free to be between 13-18 just remember that whatever age you are, you'll be a _year old one star meister.

Soul Eater RP

So yeah, excluding age, you all shouldn't need to change much. Again, you all already feel like one stars, except for the critical eye guy, so if ya give yourselves a nerf, you'll be defeating the purpose.

Soul Eater RP

I think I'm gonna make us all One Star meisters. I just want us to have room to grow, add moves and abilities to our characters and two stars is the highest a student can be so it feels like we're starting as high as we can go and I don't want that.

Plus, honestly, all the CSs so far have felt like upper level, one star meisters anyway, including mine.

So, instead of Spartoi, welcome to Aegis.

Soul Eater RP

Gun

CS: Weapon

Name: Gun (Full name, Gungnir)

Age: 13

Gender: Male

Species: Human

Appearance: Gun is a 6’6 male with light skin and a messy mop of long golden hair that reaches down his back. He has a rather intimidating build, a trait shared by all of his clan, with hard , muscles and a piercing set of eyes that hold the same shimmering gold color as his hair. Several scars litter his back, scars that originate from an incident he doesn’t talk about. As a mountain dweller, Gun’s attire is made for the northern climate. He usually wears large clothing, a layered robe like shirt tied with a black sash, a blue cloth he wears as a headband, baggy black pants tucked into boots and black tattoos running across his biceps, signs of his status as a warrior. Because of his weakness to the heat due him being used to winter climates, Gun is usually seen with his upper body layer of clothing tied around his waist.

Abilities:

• Weapon Transformation(Demon Spear)- A member of the Wōden clan, Gun can turn into a demon weapon with immense strength. Gun’s weapon form is long spear with a double edged blade. The shaft is a deep blood red while the blade is black with silver edges and runes etched into the blade. Gun can transform parts of his body into the blade’s edge to cut apart his enemies. He can transform any part but Gun’s main focus is his arms.
• God Spear: Unyielding Strike- Gun’s spear form can create lasting strikes, the cuts of his blade take a physical form in the shape of lines of light. Like solid after images, these lines take on the same effect of a strike from his spear form and can do damage even after the attack they were made by has left. Eventually, the lines fade and so does the effect.
• Wōden Way- The way of the warrior, taught to all members of the Wōden clan. Despite his lack of instinct for it, Gun is still a trained fighter and can utilize his clan’s teachings. The Wōden way is a fighting style that uses hunting techniques to make their enemies prey. The style focuses on fast, powerful strikes, building up damage before dealing the final blow.
• Physical Strength- Given his build and warrior training, Gun is incredibly strong even though he doesn’t make much use of his strength.
• Tracking- Gun is an excellent tracker and hunter, part of his warrior training. He can recognize footprints from animals to humans.

Techniques:

• Weapon
  
  • God Spear: Barrier- The user twirls the spear around and around, gaining speed as the blade leaves a line of light that creates of sphere. The lingering slashes cut apart everything in a twelve foot radius.
  • God’s Spear: Gatling- A rapid barrage of jabs. The user’s soul wavelength focuses at the point of the blade, adding a piercing force that litters the enemy with small blows.
  • God’s Spear: Pierce- Building up energy in the blade, the user strikes the ground, releasing a four way shot through the ground. This is the finisher after

Equipment: Nothin but the clothes on his back

Personality: Gun is just a shy goofball. He cares about everything and everyone and he does it way too freakin much. He’s a worry wart and too afraid of his own shadow to make serious decisions on his own, a stark contrast to his overly laid back friend. Despite his fear, he will go out of his way to protect his friends even if he sometimes uses them as a crutch. He lacks decisiveness but he can throw himself into things when cajoled into it by the slightest manipulations which is good because his main motivator is not great with words or focusing on said words. Overall, he’s a gentle giant.

History: Born into a family of warriors in the icy, snow covered village on the top of the northern mountains, Gun was taught the ways of Wōden from an early age. Despite being the youngest, everyone said he was meant for great things. He never thought so though. He went through the motions, went to the training and the tracking lessons but he never really cared for them, he prefered to watch the birds and explore the mountain side. Still, people pushed him to get stronger. His days were long and monotonous, terribly boring until one day, a mysterious man brought a child with him.

His name was Nika and he was…..different.

Nika didn’t really give many shits about life, he was always smiling and always peaceful. Gun was fascinated by someone who could act freely, without worrying about everything all the time. He would watch the kid work whenever he had a free minute and eventually the two became close friends as his visits grew longer and longer. The two would adventure through the mountains any time they had a free chance Nika didn’t like walking so Gun carried him everywhere. As Gun worked into his teens, his weapon abilities came in and the search for his meister began. Every weapon in the Wōden clan needed a powerful meister, their potential flourished when they could establish soul resonance. It was of no surprise however when Gun’s soul wouldn’t align with any of the potential meisters.

That is, except for Nika.

Nika had no problem resonating with Gun despite him being an outsider, this meant that Nika would be Gun’s meister and Gun would be Nika’s weapon. They trained together for the next year, they already knew each other’s skill set by heart so fighting together seemed to come naturally. It was after their training had hit a plateau that Gun’s father made the decision to send them out into the world with Nika promising to make him into the strongest weapon in the world before they were allowed to come back home.

And that's gun, kudos to whoever guessed what his weapon form was.
