So will there be magic in this world, and if so, do you have a magic system in place, or will that be something you plan on hashing out as the rp comes closer to being started?Yes, and I've got a system from a prior RP I worked on but I'm still working on it on my own time. But with that knowledge, the player characters won't have access to magic at the start of the roleplay even if their aspirations are to be come magus savant. The reason for this is plot related and also to deter some undesirable side effects. 100% exists though, and if your character were some Wizened Sage in his prior life, they'll likely be one of the first to stumble upon its use.
Also what kind of tone will you be going for in this rp? I'm sure there'll be times where it'll lean into different areas, but overall will we be dealing with a typical shonene, slice of life, horror, mystery> etc, etc?School Life will be the primary focus at the start. Most of what I'm working on at the moment with NPCs and such is class/teachers/student body stuff, this is because the root of the plot will come through a lot better if those shounen/shoujo situations happen early and often. But as for the overarching genres it'll be transitioning from more grounded courses like Drama/Romance/SoL into darker ones down the line. But that's if we even get there.
Blessed Hero,
While I am sure you are feeling a number of different emotions I can assure you that you are no longer in danger. Not only because I, Deus, pose no threat to you but also because you are already deceased and a few moments ago you were on your way to plane of spirits. I'm sure your adventures on the mortal plane were grand and you leave the world of the living with a heavy heart as loved ones, friends, and family are left behind to cope in your absence.
But have Hope,
Luckily for you the plane of spirits is rather packed with countless numbers of ghosts collected over the eons. Maybe I should have been a little more selective of who I let through the golden gates, but it's too late for that now. Which leads me to the contents of this contract. Reading through you'll find that I am offering you a second chance in life through the means of what I'd like to call Soul Recycling. As your soul is recycled it will be sent to a different world where you will be reborn with a clean slate, a new life, new experiences, all for you a hero of a previous world to experience.
There are some fine print things along with this however,
x You will be born to a new mother and father starting at the ripe age of zero.
x You will lose all memories of your previous life keeping only muscle memory of skills and talents along with you in your new life.
x You will only be allowed a single heirloom or keepsake to be carried with you in some facet to the new world.
x Meeting any other recycled souls in the new world may cause some of the amnesia to wear off, we recommend that you instinctively avoid these people for your own mental health and their own.
x Following the laws and rules of this new world will be greatly encouraged as we will be spectating from the heavens. Breaking these will result in Holy Infractions and once you have received three of these we will not only pluck your soul from the new body, but destroy your soul entirely.
And with that the rest is up to you,
Should you wish to give life a second chance take the pen and sign your name on the line below. Oh, and absolutely do not touch the gem on the table!
