SIGN-UPS ARE CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

ONLY EXCEPTIONS ARE NOTED IN THIS POST

Alright, so after thinking this through for a whiiiillleeeee, I decided to just ahead and make this happen; A Soul Eater RP! As a warning for those who have only watched the Anime, this loosely follows the end of the Manga storyline, though really as long as you know the general gist of the differences between the two, you should be fine. If you are currently reading Soul Eater, then this is chock full of spoilers so it would probably be a good idea to not read any further! If you haven't seen either but have kinda read up on a bit of it, and really wanna join in then you're welcome!


Set 100 years after the original events of Soul Eater, much has changed for Death City, as well as the special school that still lies within. Death Weapon Meister Academy (also known as Shibusen), a vocational institution that specializes in teaching its students how to wield and properly transform into weapons, has greatly expanded its initial premise under the new "Lord Death". After the events that had led to the confinement of the Kishin Asura within the Moon, a truce has been called between Humans and Witches. This has also led to the cessation of the ritual of producing "Death Scythes", Demon Weapons who had consumed 99 corrupt Souls and 1 Witch Soul.

However, in spite of the passage of 100 years, there still lies some prejudices and grudges between not only Humankind and Witchkind, but Monsterkind as well. The threat of Madness still persists, and Shibusen has been tasked with not only suppressing that threat, but keeping peace among the various races.

Though the Academy has more or less physically remained the same, It’s guidelines and regulations have greatly changed under the order of the new Shinigami-sama, ranging from relatively benign to highly controversial:

  1. The Academy’s curriculum has expanded into teaching students not only about the human culture of Souls, but of Witches and Monsters as well.
  2. The Academy has also become more accepting of other races in the general student body, openly welcoming any sort of being with the aptitude to be a Meister or Weapon, at least in theory. Realistically, the public of Death City are still weary of other beings living among them, and comparatively other beings are still wary or harbor grudges with humans and the Academy in particular.
  3. With the expansion of the Academy, a new division of “class” was established; while only 10% of the student body still remain as the exclusive EAT course, and the NOT course has been chopped down to roughly 50%, that leaves 40% of the student body in-between the two; this is the R.I.P. Class. Standing for Relatively Intermediate Pursuit, students of this level have mastered the art of wielding and taking the form of their weapon capabilities, and aspire to some day enter the EAT Class. They take courses specialized in light-to-intermediate combat, the study of magic and the history of notable Weapons, Meisters and Demons. Once aptly tested, they can then begin to engage in extracurricular missions; though this is relegated to minor ones that don’t require them to travel too far from the city. With enough missions completed, RIP students can even take on the more dangerous missions that EAT members partake in. There is only one, strict rule to this however; RIP students must be able to work cooperatively, not just with their Weapons but with other Meisters as well. As such, a core of the RIP curriculum is learning how to work with others as a team, regardless of racial difference or personal issues.


RULES

  • The players will be students of the newly-appointed RIP Class. Consisting of 40% of the student body, students of this caliber are those who are still relatively new to utilizing their abilities for combat, as well as the primary base for students of supernatural descent.
  • Though there is a primary plotline to the RP, most of the time players will be free to interact with one another. With approval, players can even come up with Missions for teams to go on.
  • All players will be part of the same class. Depending on how many players we get, Meisters and their weapons will be divided into smaller teams within the class, with players able to decide who they want to team up with. There will be a limit of about 4 Meisters per team. This doesn’t mean people on different teams can’t or won’t interact with one another however; everyone will be able to interact and befriend whoever they want to during their class and free time, and Plot Missions will require a number of teams to work alongside each other.
  • Time will loosely progress on a routine basis; it will be segmented into 3 phases: Daytime, Afternoon and Nighttime. During the day, students should often be attending classes, unless it’s specified as a weekend or holiday, in which case players can meet up and do whatever they want. In the Afternoon, students should be getting out of class, and again are free to do whatever they feel like. During the Night, it would be best to go to sleep; Death City has grown a bit more dangerous through it’s expansion, though Students should be able to handle whatever threat that may lurk around. Unless an event is going on, players should probably be going home around this time.

CHARACTER SHEET

Players are allowed one Meister Sheet and one Weapon Sheet, though someone can propose dual weapons if they wish to. If players want, they can also propose only a Weapon or only a Meister, then team up with somebody else in the sign-up thread. Characters must be approved before being put in play, of course, and all the standard rules of Roleplaying apply: Don't make your character an invincible, unstoppable god, don't take control of other player's actions during the RP, etc.

MEISTER

  • Name: (Well, I guess I don’t really need to add this but names are important! Since Soul Eater is filled with a bunch of weird names you can pretty much say your anything, though please don’t propose a character with a name that somehow relates to anybody who may or may not of existed 100 years ago in the Soul Eater world.)
  • Race: (Since DWMA is open to more than just Humans now, your character can be a Witch or type of Monster; Werewolf, Vampire, or Magical Animal, though there are limitations to them. Nobody can be a shinigami, so they are not an option.)
  • Age: (Should range from 13-18 for Human, and at least be equivalent to that for Witches and Monsters. You don’t really have to come up for a number for that or anything of course.)
  • Appearance: (General description of your character. This is the ‘human’ appearance of whatever character you have.)
    • Animal/Monster Form: (Specifically for Monsters, their appearance after transforming.)
  • Personality: (The basic personality of your character, how they tick. You can also describe how your soul looks like here.)
  • Background: (The basic background of the life of your character, as well as what led them to go to DWMA. How they met their Weapon, what their family life was like, anything you feel is important to their past.)
  • Abilities: (Okay, this is gonna be a BIG part of your character, both for your Meister and their Weapon. Witches and Monsters obviously specialize their magic to a certain type and theme, so please decribe those under here as well if you choose a supernatural race. While Human Meisters don’t really have much in their natural abilities, they can specialize better in areas dealing with the Soul. So, humans are naturally better at Soul Perception, Soul Resonance or Soul Menace/Force. They can also gain certain “Wavelengths” later on in the story, but that’ll be much later on.)

WEAPON

  • Name: (Like the Meister sheet, can be anything, though they usually have a theme to them that goes with what they turn into. Again, nobody should be related to anybody else from the original Soul Eater.)
  • Weapon Form: (What type of weapon they transform into, as well as what it looks like. Can range from standard to bizarre)
  • Age: (Should similarly be between the equivalence of 13-18.)
  • Appearance: (What they normally look like as a human.)
  • Personality: (Like above, the weapon’s personality and their soul. Keep in mind that, in story, Weapons with differing personalities and souls are much more compatible with their partner, so a player’s Weapon and Meister probably shouldn’t share a similar personality.)
  • Background: (The weapon’s history, how they discovered their weapon’s bilities, how they came to be at the academy, etc. As long as it’s believable for the Soul Eater world, you can write anything down here.)
  • Abilities: (Okay, so basically, this includes both the weapon’s latent special abilities and properties, abut also the combat techniques of them and their Meister.)


MEISTER

  • Name: Gin Carol
  • Race: Human
  • Age: 16
  • Appearance: An utterly passive boy in all respects, Gin is of average height, a normal light complexion, pale blue eyes and average neck-length dark brown hair that roughly covers his eyes. He casually wears a light blue zip-up hoodie, denim jeans and black-blue stripe sneakers, with a set of small headphones, styled after the mask of the Shinigami, around his neck. In battle, he often unzips his hoodie, revealing a white t-shirt underneath, as well as an MP 3 player within an interior pocket of his hoodie.
  • Personality: On the outside, Gin seems very passive. He often seems to be in his own world, staring off into space, doodling in his notebook, or listening to music. He prefers to be spoken to, rather than be the one to initiate the conversation. However, this does not mean he dislikes being around people. Much on the contrary, he hates being alone more than anything else, and fears completely isolating himself from people around him. He actually has a high capacity for hearing people talk on and on, and doesn’t seem bothered by anyone, even would-be bullies. In a fight he remains calm but determined, whether he be listening to orders or forced to come up with something on his own. His soul is a small, dull blue that almost looks like it’s sleeping.
  • Background: Gin had led a remarkably average life until his 15th birthday, which is when he discovered that his parents had signed him up to DWMA. Their reason being that he lacked motivation and had no plans for the future, Gin went along with it as he earnestly didn’t find any reason not to. Originally in the NOT class, Gin stayed fairly passive until he became partners with Gil. Being the only one who could stand being around the pretentious boy, the two quickly became good partners, not only in class but outside of it as well. It was Gil who convinced Gin to pursue acceptance into the RIP course, though really he only needed to tell the boy he should do so. Gin didn’t see any reason not to, so he did.
  • Abilities:
    • Soul Perception - Gin has apt potential for seeing souls, however, it requires his full concentration and he still has much to learn.
    • Soul Resonance - Gin is also slightly proficient in establishing a Soul Resonance with his weapon, but has little capability in using it at the moment.

WEAPON

  • Name: Gil Lewes
  • Weapon Form: Vorpal Blade. A golden, seemingly immaculate one-handed sword that is nonetheless surprisingly unwieldy; a strangely curved blade that somehow still ends in a solid point, it only adds to the number of problems Gil has with finding a compatible Meister.A triangular pattern lines up the blade, as if resembling razor sharp teeth. At the base of the blade on both sides is a singular, basic round eye.
  • Age: 17
  • Appearance: An utterly assertive kind of guy, Gil is slightly taller and of a more fit build than Gin. He prides himself on his carefully cut, golden blonde hair, and has light brown eyes. He often wears a red sweater-vest, adorned with a single Shinigami pin precariously placed below the right breast pocket, and a white dress shirt underneath. He also matches this with black khakis and dark brown loafers.
  • Personality: Coming from a long line of weapons, Gil has immense pride in his abilities; so much so that he readily believes he could one day become a Legendary Weapon. Because of this, he often displays a haughty and arrogant attitude towards both Meisters and other Weapons alike. In spite of this confidence, he’s not nearly as talented as he tries to make himself believe, and deep down he knows that. He’s incredibly insecure and absolutely dreads the possibility of making a mistake or failure. Such insecurities cause him a lot of stress, which he tries to keep bottled up within himself. His soul is a light red, looking somewhat top-heavy as if it's trying to puff itself up. It pulses quickly, as if constantly struggling to maintain itself.
  • Background: As stated before, Gil inherited his form from a long line of Weapons. Though he often reputes about his form’s mythical and rare status, the fact remains that it’s annoyingly difficult to use, even more so to wield. Combined with Gil’s condescending attitude and tense wavelength, even with the ability to fully transform Gil was hopelessly stuck in the NOT class, at least until he met Gin. Being the only person who wasn’t bothered by Gil’s haughtiness, and quickly able to adapt his calming wavelength to Gil’s tension, the two made a great pair, and eventually were able to graduate to the RIP class at Gil’s behest.
  • Abilities:
    • Vorpal Thrust - A technique which propels Gin forward at a fast speed. Though it may seem at first as if Gin is being dragged along by the sword, in actuality he is putting full trust in Gil’s judgement, applying force when they’re close enough to their opponent.
    • Vorpal Shift - A similar technique utilized for evasion, Gin grips the Vorpal Blade with both hands, Gil then pulls the Meister completely away from an opponent in the blink of an eye, almost as if causing him to teleport. This technique is only capable of backing off from the enemy however, as the movement his so fast that Gin has little time to actually react offensively.
    • Vorpal Cut - A non-lethal, special property of the Vorpal Blade line which allows them to damage their opponent but doesn’t leave a physical wound. Because of this, Gil is extremely proficient in subduing enemies, but relatively weak in killing them. Gin would have to attack with full intent to kill for the blade to actually leave a mark.


....So, here we go then! I spent a little while planning a good deal of this out. I hope the concept is solid enough and things don’t seem too overly complex.

Please post if you have any questions or thoughts on this and leave a Character Sheet if you’re interested!

Would 2 Weapons wielding each other work?

I'm planning something with someone, and I wanted to see if that would be allowed

The weapons would have to have meister training, of course

Hmm...I could see that working. I don't think anything in the series says that'd be impossible.

I guess I also forgot to mention autonomous weapons are allowed as well, as long as they aren't something crazy overpowered.tongue

  • Name: Cail Raeson

  • Weapon Form: Two bladed circles called chakram each attached by a long chain. The the circles have patterns depicting flames on one and wind on the other.

  • Age: 16

  • Appearance: Cail is about average height with a lean, athletic build. His hair is a dirty blond, messy and shoulder length. Cail wears cargo pants with two belts crossed over his waist in an x, combat boots, and a short sleeved shirt. Over it he wears a trenchcoat with the symbol of the old shinigami’s mask on the back. He also wears fingerless leather gloves.

  • Personality: Friendly and well meaning, he’s not exactly the type of guy one would think to have been in and out of juvie. However Cail has a bit of a flaw, he just can’t resist a good fight. You give him a reason to fight you and he will with an honest to Shinigami-Sama smile on his face. He most often prefers equal fights, not wanting to beat up on people weaker than him, but he is fiercely protective of Helena, and will without fail try to beat down anyone who insults or tries to harm her, be they weakling or god.

    • Cail's soul is pretty simple, representing his simple interests. It's rough and has three juttings at the top like his hair. It has what looks like an open ended chain from the back.

  • Background: Helena and Cail both come from the same Youth Detention Center in Los Muertos, California. Helena was in for multiple accounts of theft caused by her Kleptomania, while Cail was in for multiple counts of aggressive behavior and fighting. The two of them came from the slums of Los Muertos, an area filled with back alleys and crime bordering a much brighter and healthier city. One thing brought them together, and joined them tighter than any blood relation could: survival. The two of them quickly became the close friends, a relationship only further cemented by the fact that both of them had a supernatural ability of their own. They grew to find a safe haven the Detention Center, since the threat of weapons that came out of nowhere instilled fear in anyone that might try to attack them. However, their forms did not go unnoticed by Shinigami-sama. Soon enough, Helena and Cail were approached with the promise of a “Reformation Program” at a place called “Death Weapon Meister Academy”. Finding no other options, they took up the offer and enrolled.

  • Abilities:

    • Chain-Roller Link-Up: Cail and Helena have the ability to be wielded by a third party meister at which point their chains link and their combined strength is increased. The two weapons join chains, removing the secondary object of each weapon, ultimately becoming a smaller chakri around a single gauntlet.

    • Red Chain (Flow): While in his weapon form Cail can change the direction his chain goes allowing for unique attack angles.

    • Soul Resonance (Chain Gauntlets) - Godhand: The soul resonance when Cail is acting as meister. Helena’s weapon form turns golden and the chains connecting the gauntlets wrap around Cail’s arms and back, making the power of his hits equivalent to the power of the chain’s at their shortest for the duration of the resonance.

    • Meister Training: Cail can wield Helena as a meister which is the basis of their unique fighting style of switching roles of meister and weapon.

Bark Bark Man
#9: Nov 3rd 2014 at 6:39:07 PM

  • Name: Helena L. Sullivan
  • Weapon Form: A set of full iron gauntlets, attached by a chain in the middle. It counts as “one” weapon since they are permanently joined by a chain. The gauntlets are adorned with the words “Inferno” and “Paradiso” on the knuckles of the left and right fists respectively. They are a brushed bronze color, and heavily decorated with rivets.
  • Age: 16
  • Appearance: Helena is a few inches taller than Cail, and has a lithe build. Her blonde hair is short and layered, with slightly longer bangs hanging in front, adding contrast to her dark brown skin. She wears a skintight long-sleeve black shirt decorated with a white celtic cross under an open grey vest. The vest has a larger white celtic cross on it, with the old-style Shinigami mask in the middle of it. Her dark-blue pants are equally form-fitting, and kept on her body by a single belt with a large steely belt buckle with an engraving of gates on it.
  • Personality: Helena acts like an older sister to Cail, despite them being the same age. She finds his attempts to protect her as hilarious (at best), and seeks to protect him instead. She is one to avoid unnecessary fighting. When she does fight, she prefers to take an analytical approach, which leads to her exclusively using the chain of her weapon form during partial transformations. She would have preferred to have Cail’s Weapon Form than her own. Helena may act nonchalantly, but she will analyze and overthink situations for her own sake, as well as for Cail’s. Like Cail, she can be friendly if she gets to know and trust someone. She has a strong hold on her repressed Kleptomania, but occasionally it comes out. When it does, she is ashamed and disgusted with herself.
    • Her spirit has 5 “fingers” that come out of the main body, as if grasping for something. These fingers become more metallic as they go up, resembling more her weapon form. A chain dangles out of the back, ending on an empty link so long as both Helena and Cail aren’t in weapon form at the same time.
  • Background: Helena and Cail both come from the same Youth Detention Center in Los Muertos, California. Helena was in for multiple accounts of theft caused by her Kleptomania, while Cail was in for multiple counts of aggressive behavior and fighting. The two of them came from the slums of Los Muertos, an area filled with back alleys and crime bordering a much brighter and healthier city. One thing brought them together, and joined them tighter than any blood relation could: survival. The two of them quickly became the close friends, a relationship only further cemented by the fact that both of them had a supernatural ability of their own. They grew to find a safe haven the Detention Center, since the threat of weapons that came out of nowhere instilled fear in anyone that might try to attack them. However, their forms did not go unnoticed by Shinigami-sama. Soon enough, Helena and Cail were approached with the promise of a “Reformation Program” at a place called “Death Weapon Meister Academy”. Finding no other options, they took up the offer and enrolled.
  • Abilities:
    • Chain-Roller Link-Up: Helena and Cail have the ability to be wielded by a third party meister at which point their chains link and their combined strength is increased. The two weapons join chains, removing the secondary object of each weapon, ultimately becoming a smaller chakri around a single gauntlet.
    • Red Chain (Balance): Helena can alter the length of the chain connecting the two gauntlets. The power output of the gauntlets is inversely related to the length of the chain. That is to say, a miniscule length of chain equals to low movement ability, but higher strength, while a large length of chain equals high movement ability, but lower strength. This plays heavily into Cail’s fighting style.
    • Soul Resonance (Chain Chakram) - Ophanim Throne: A Soul Resonance attack with Helena as Cail’s Meister. The twin Chakram change to resemble a set of wind and fire wheels, joined by a golden chain. Simply put they are a stronger version of the basic chain chakram. They can however, be spun at high enough speeds that they become a solid disc of color around the Meister.
    • Meister Training: Helena can function as Cail’s Meister. This is primarily how they engage in combat. They use each other, switching roles at their leisure. Their fighting style is “switch-heavy”.

There's definitely still enough room; I'm thinking of a maximum of maybe 10 to 12 players, allowing for up to 3-4 teams, and even that's just a rough estimate. Should that go along well in the future, I may even up that limit.

In any case, take your time! I will wait either a few more days or until everyone who's shown interest so far has posted a character sheet before starting the main RP thread.

As for amporiousrex and Solus Lupus, your characters look great! Makes me want to add a little more detail to my characters, really. In any case, Cail and Helena are approved!

[up]Ehhhhh....I think that might be a bit too improbable. Out of all the things in Soul Eater, I think turning into an actual vehicle, even something like a motorcycle, would be slightly out-of-bounds.

I mean, your character could be allowed to have a motorcycle, at least. Just not a guy who turns into one.tongue

Yeah, that does raise a point, but then again they're also still actual "objects"— Tezca still needs a Meister to wield him and Justin Law turned parts of himself into a Guillotine since that's kind of a hard thing to utilize on it's own. A motorcycle though...

Hmmm...will you maybe go a little bit into depth about how it'd be weaponized? If you still want to, that is. I'm just finding it a little bit difficult to picture them working in an actual fight.

Rough draft ho!

  • Name: Abigail Winchester
  • Race: Witch
  • Age: 16-18 in appearance, is however many years that corresponds to in a Witch's life cycle (so at least in her thirties, methinks)
  • Appearance: No relation to those Winchesters.
  • Personality: While not an anti-social girl per se, Abby’s way of interacting with other people comes off of as calculated and fake. She’s friendly and gives off Cool Big Sis vibes, but it never feels like she really bothers trying to connect with anyone. Instead, she does most of what she does alone. She eats alone unless invited, she takes frequent solo rides around town on her motorbike (on which no one else may ride), and her favorite pastime is reading. Not a terribly inclusive hobby. She does all of her work alone, and has no desire to work with a team or take a partner (it's this behavior which landed her in RIP). At times, one could be forgiven for thinking that Abby has a pathological fear of emotional intimacy with others. Despite her impressive figure, she tends to have boy problems on account of her being freakishly tall (almost 190cm). Her soul is purple with bat wings and a scar over one eye.
  • Background: Abby was born in England to a Witch and a Weapon. Back before people were more tolerant of Witches (but not by much), their relationship was considered forbidden, and they were frequently the object of scorn despite her mother being officially recognized by the DWMA as a Meister of some renown. Her feisty mother and meek father were harrassed by the community without end, and even at a young age Abby understood them being together wasn't a good thing. Eventually, when the tensions between her mother and the townspeople boiled over, full-on Witch hunts began. If she didn't wish to have her license revoked and be branded as a rogue Meister at risk of becoming a Kishin, her mother couldn't feasibly fight back against the townspeople. So they ran. When the angry mobs finally caught up with them, her father took off and left Abby and her mother behind to save his own life, and save face. Abby's mother was cornered and was prepared to die, but when her daughter was threatened on suspicion of being a Witch like her mother, she did everything in her power to protect Abby, killing the townspeople in the defense of her daughter. While her mother was blamed for the "unprovoked" deaths of the townspeople and was forever remembered for the shame she brought to the DWMA, Abby found out that the corrupt priest who rallied the mob against her mother was a nascent Kishin. When she tracked him down on her own and killed him, his soul was bright red, redder than blood. She decided then and there that she'd become a Meister so she could continue hunting down evil souls like the one that killed her mother, all while working under the approval of the new Shinigami-sama. That, and to find her father, who was presumably still lost somewhere in the gears of the massive machine called the DWMA, so she can expose him as a coward who left his Meister to die and clear her mother's name in the process.
  • Abilities:
    • Flight: As a Witch, this goes without saying. In Abby's case, she uses bat wings to fly, although technically she levitates under her own power rather than the mechanical motion of her wings.
    • Shapeshifting: Abby can disguise herself as another person down to their voice by covering herself with her wings and transforming using magic.
    • Magic: As the daughter of a Witch and a Weapon, Abby has inherited her mother's magical talent but based most of her magic off of the Meister lifestyle, using magic to augment Weapon use.
      • Witch Time: Abby slows down time relative to her and engages Bullet Time, allowing her to attack faster, dodge faster, and place more accurate shots for a short time (Witch Time consumes a lot of magical energy).
      • Bat Familiars:
        • Bat Bomb: Summons a fat, globular bat made of magical energy which can be thrown to explode in a shower of hot blood like a grenade.
        • Bat Missile: The same as above, but smaller and faster. They can fly on their own or Abby can fire them from her gun.
        • Memory Bats: Tiny bats that drink blood. Once one of these bats has sunk its fangs into someone, Abby can read the minds of the bitten and can see their memories. She can do this herself too, but she usually uses the bats (because biting people on the neck is awkward).
  • Misc:
    • Abby actually does wear blue lipstick, but only occasionally.
    • Her favorite instrument is the guitar and she loves road food, especially deli subs and hoagies
    • Her bats can (kinda) talk, and the biggest, chubbiest ones look like this.

Hmmm....Okay. For the most part the character is great!

The personality and background are fine and work out in my opinion, though it'll be a bit hard to keep solo in this RP. The abilities are alright as well, including Witch Time, given there's a limit to them(Like the Memory Bats, like how much can they read about somebody?). It's kinda difficult to think someone without a Weapon partner to really be considered a Meister, but then again she is a Witch and her magic augments the shotgun she carries so I suppose it works out.

In any case, Abigail Winchester is approved!

What would the alternate scenario for her background be though? It works well as is, even the rough-but-believable town-slaughtering, just wondering.

Actually, the idea is for her to learn how to work with a partner, and eventually a team. That's why she was placed in RIP instead of EAT. Because you're right, you can't really be a Meister without a weapon.

Also, I was considering her mother being initially submissive to the villagers, but got violent when they tried to hurt Abby instead of just settling for her. Clearing her mother's name in this case would mean proving she did it to protect her, and not to preserve her own life.
