Yandere School: Only One Can Live - A Murder RP Sign-Up

"Notice me, senpai..."

Welcome to Sakae Esuno High School, your average high school in an average town filled with average students. Average that is, except for a few certain kids with a bad case of love sickness. See, there's this upperclassman at Sake Esuno High, the beloved student body president, whose got the looks, personality, and position that make him every girl's dream boy. So deep is the love people have for him that the crowds of giggling girls outside the classroom won't even say his name out of reverence. To them, and to you, he is only worshipfully known as "Senpai" and he's to die for.

Or kill for. See, love can be a powerful thing. Sometimes love makes you do silly things, like put a letter in Senpai's locker telling him of your undying devotion to him but left anonymous because you forgot to put your name on it. Other times love makes you crazy, and in a fit of jealousy, you track down that little tramp who dared to make a move on your Senpai and burn her house down.

Guess which one love makes you do?

That's right, people, you are a yandere, a girl with a sweet outside that hides an insanely jealous and bloodthirsty little psychopath underneath. You will do whatever it takes to get your man, even if he is totally unaware that you've marked him as yours to begin with. Oh, no, Senpai doesn't know you love him. You just haven't found the right time to confess your feelings yet! When would be the right time? Preferably when you're not threatening to cut up some other girl for talking with him in the morning. Even your crazy little mind knows Senpai wouldn't take kindly to a knife fetishist for a girlfriend. To him, and the public at large, you are always your nice public persona.

To other girls when no one is looking, however, it's shank them skanks with a broken spork time! Take out those feeble lovesick girls who can never have Senpai! He's yours yours yours!

If only it were that easy. Maybe there was something in the water. Maybe there's no psychiatrists in the city. Maybe Senpai is just a doom magnet. Whatever it was, it caused this school to be infested with yanderes, all deeply, truly,    madly    in love with the same upperclassman. Looks like you got competition for Senpai's undivided attention, and they all subscribe to the belief that all is fair in love and war...


How's that for an intro? Hi there, RPers, I'm Parable and I'll be co-GMing this game along with Starbound!

Rules are simple, ladies. Whoever shows their bloodlust loses. Senpai can't realize you are a yandere. Gotta use all kinds of tricks and struggles to catch their attention and sabotage the others without him realizing you are crazy. The moment he sees your yandere nature you are out of the running. But when it's just you, and a rival, and an aluminum baseball bat however, the crazy comes out and it's the fight of a lifetime!

Obviously we can't have people just beating each other to death as soon as Senpai's back is turned. Fights don't actually have to be to the finish, so please, if you and another player decide to engage each other is combat, work out how it's going to go down before hand. Standard RP rules apply too.

  • Name: Kaia Enjouji
  • Age: 17
  • Appearance: Kaia has somewhat long black hair, light blue eyes, and a rather athletic appearance. She is slight tanned, and has, well, to put it bluntly, D cup breasts. She usually dresses in the school uniform, and when not in school, she dresses casually and in a rather western inspired look, namely, a white t-shirt, tight black jeans, and boots. She's apparently all smiles, and is rather squinty some of the time.
  • Personality: Kaia is a sweet and surprisingly caring and outgoing girl, enjoying athletics and class activities - especially surprising given when she entered school there, she was a wallflower. She seems to really like "Sempai", mostly for the fact he showed up in her life at one point (though he probably doesn't remember) and "changed things". "I started sticking up for myself". While she definitely likes him, she isn't an overwhelming individual. Something of The Social Expert, she seems to know what to say and when to say it. Now, where's the Yandere? Glad you asked. Kaia's always known she had something...odd going on. She recites the platitudes and attitudes of others, but cannot see the value in any of it beyond momentary achievements, after which her "work" meant little. She gets confused on what's right and wrong, at times, but mostly seems to stick to what she's observed from others. She even mused to herself that "when I saw Sempai for the first time, that was the first time I felt anything." Her psychosis is much more cold, deliberate, and focused.
  • Modus Operandi: While she prefers to talk and goad, she's very, very capable of being physical with almost any implements.
  • Clubs and Sports: Karate and Kendo Club.
  • Possessions: She carries a picture of Sempai inside her wallet in her purse. She has a baton in the purse. She also writes poetry and usually carries it in there.
  • Background: Kaia, as stated, used to be a total wallflower, who was pushed around by the more popular girls, until someone - maybe Sempai, she doesn't remember correctly - intervened and gave her "the barest inkling of hope". She worked ardently on improving herself, and puberty did give her some good luck. After the popular girls who gave her trouble graduated, she blossomed into her own. Through her work on herself, she's become quite the social expert and an athlete. However, no matter how she tries, she cannot feel anything for any of her triumphs. They're all meaningless. Those activities have done what she needed of them. However, Sempai...Sempai is the first thing she's ever felt strongly attached to.
  • Her backstory is that her father, a male model, continually stressed to her how important appearances were, and often teased her that "man, for a biseinen like me to have such a dumpy daughter, what a disgrace!" Her mother would often laugh along. She took this to mean what he said on the surface, rather than thinking it was (still rather harsh) teasing. However, she can attest she'd felt she was odd before the teasing started. She feels that, along with what she saw at school, "All that those two said reinforced my point of view about myself, and this town."

(WIP)

  • Name: Manami Yamada
  • Age: 16
  • Appearance: Manami has long auburn hair, dark brown eyes, and a toned, slim physique. She's shapely and has legs that drive boys crazy. At school, she wears the standard uniform. Out of class, she wears blouses, skirts with tights underneath, and fashionable shoes.
  • Personality:
  • Modus Operandi: Manami enjoys to invite other people to go swimming with her! Sometimes with snorkel gear. But those snorkel tubes are slippery, so Manami makes sure she shoves the tube down her friend's throat, so they don't lose it! And you have to make sure the hands are bound so they don't mess with the tube...
  • Clubs and Sports: Swim Team
  • Possessions: A cellphone loaded with hundreds of photos of Senpai, taken without him knowing-some at school, some out and about town, some when he's at home watching TV.
  • Background: Delve into the past of you and Senpai... Oh, and those other not-Senpai people and places you call family and home.

  • Name: Kimiko Moemura
  • Age: 17
  • Appearance: Image
  • Personality: She really likes aluminum.
  • Modus Operandi: Batter Up!, cyberstalking
  • Clubs and Sports: Computer Club, Baseball
  • Possessions: iPhone with Sempai's emails forwarded to it, baseball bag.
  • Background: A completely ordinary girl with a nuclear family who plays baseball. She only learned how much she hates people not respecting her things when she discovered how useful batting practice was for real-life applications. When people ask her why she seems so committed to practicing more than anyone else on the team, she usually says "Because I love baseball!".
    First met Sempai because they forgot to log out of their account in the library and she used the computer next, and she looked at all the logged-in accounts and passwords.

There is so much wrong with this; consider me highly interested! Playing a yandere would a huge change of pace for me...what can go wrong?

  • Name: Tiffany Stoff-Farben ("I'll accept Tiffchen for short, Herr Senpai!")
  • Age: 17
  • Appearance: middle height and pleasantly plump, dark purple hair done up in a braid. Routinely keeps lab goggles and labcoat in her backpack.
  • Personality: well, Senpai loves that "shy and demure princess" business, right? She's already quiet and gracefully restrained outside the lab, so it shouldn't be too big of a step to win the attention of her knight in shining armor—she'll thank you to keep your dirty Scheiss off the lab bench, Fraulein Schweinchen, and while you're at it, those thermodynamic equations are an absolute disgrace! Do those over again!
  • Modus Operandi: Senpai will absolutely love those crystal-encrusted decorations, lovingly grown in her own freezer! Just...well, don't touch those beautifully delicate crystals, the impurities that give the acetone peroxide that ethereal blue color renders it a little sensitive. Let not her Bavarian efficiency deter you, her passionate love surely burns as fiercely as a metal-fluorine fire! But before we get into that, say, does this eau de cologne smell like selenophenol to you?
  • Clubs and Sports: Chemistry club! In the laboratory she is the queen, and not just because she's the only one who knows what's in some of those mysterious unlabelled containers.
  • Background: after her parents made their fortune manufacturing children's toys, they sent the little tyke off from her home in Munich to Japan, much to her disappointment (she had so hoped to study under that handsome Professor Klapoetke). Here in Japan, she grew up under the care of a Germanically strict au pair, moonlighting in chemistry, just hoping to meet the one who can see her for the passionate romantic she is inside! (And may God help those who get between her and her beloved...)

  • Name: Kaya Yuno

  • Age: 16

  • Appearance: Kaya has a wide-hip build to her as well as brown eyes. Her skin has a dark tan and her hair is bleached to a platinum blonde, wearing white and pink makeup that makes her eyes, lips, and cheeks pop. When not in school, she tends to wear very bright clothes that pop out and attract attention.

  • Personality: Kaya is a very cheerful girl who loves to smile and to spread the good mood to wherever she goes. Her friendly nature makes her very approachable, though she tends to act too strongly. On that note, she also can also be very naive. Of course, taking advantage of her naivety may not be good for your health as, despite her pretty makeup-covered face, is a mean left-hook.

  • Modus Operandi: She carries a taser with her wherever she goes. She also takes boxing lessons.

  • Clubs and Sports: Cheerleading and Boxing

  • Possessions: Her purse, along with carrying a wide assortment of nature, also houses a cellphone, a taser, and a locket with a piece of dried gum that Senpai chewed once-but don't tell him that!

  • Background: Kaya's father and mother are both cops, so she was always sheltered. Even when she was being taught how to fight and given ways to protect herself from the big bad world, she was never given a chance to go into the big world until she was allowed to go to Sakae Esuno High School. When she was about to fall into a peer pressure by the popular kids, who preyed on her desperation to fit in, Senpai rescued her from them and taught her to be herself. It was straight from a fairy tale! It inspired her to be herself and to try to stand out more, which is why she sports her ganguro look. It also seeded her deep devotion to Senpai.

This is waaaay too ridiculous and potentially hilarious to not attempt.

Name: Eun-Ji Emilia Sagong Smithson
Age: 15
Appearance: Eun-Ji's build is naturally top heavy, with a prominent chest and somewhat wide set and square shoulders. She's big-boned for the average Asian and generally has just a bit more meat on her bones than most of her peers, though she's still a far cry from actually being considerable as 'large'. She's a bit shorter than your average at only 5'3", and has distinctly Caucasian skin tones inherited from her mother. Her face is naturally babyish and soft, with limpid brown eyes and a softly defined nose, though her face is a bit flat and she lacks cheeks, along with having a rather broad forehead. She tries her best to hide that particular feature by wearing her naturally warm brown hair with bangs, along with a preference for ponytails and pigtails. Also, the reference image I built her from is close enough.
Personality: Emilia is inconsistency incarnate, a capricious force of internet age aesthetic, humor. She has a trigger hair temper and her standard rages, while not quite Yandere levels, can be anywhere from kind of scary to hilarious pathetic with how petty and childish she can get. Eun-Ji lives her life in the moment, with a strong imagination and not too many filters she can come off as outlandish and quirky, at best. Other times she comes off as a rude and crude freak with off-putting unpredictability, unreliability, and freedom of thought that would make the most liberal hippies blush. She jumps from thing to thing in life, artistic projects she'll pour her heart and soul into for a week before moving on to other things randomly.
Modus Operandi: Eun-Ji's natural artistry can take a rather macabre and sinister turn when she's so inclined. She's rather sadistic and playful due to her strange life views. Pain and death mean nothing, really, so why not use them as tools of expression like everything else? It's all abstract, all meaningless to her. Just another experience. So why not make another person an art project? You've got the hammer and chisel, the exacto knives, the fast drying cement. Maybe if you could get people into an art room they'd see for themselves how abrasive a pottery wheel can be?
Clubs and Sports: Art Club, which she is one of the principal members of despite her young age due to her innate talent, and she's as respected as it's possible for an underclassman to be. She drifts into and out of the other clubs as the mood strikes her, and is rarely taken seriously in any of those other clubs since they know she'll eventually be gone.
Possessions: Miss Smithson has a handmade canvas tye-die purse, in which she keeps a set of paints at all times, along with a secret compartment for her favored exacto knife and wood carver's whittle. Beyond that nothing else is consistent. She easily forgets her phone, wallet, keys, I.D, etc...
Background: The Sagong Smithson family was the result of a Korean-American union between collage sweethearts, a famous plastic surgeon father finding lucrative in Korea, so the family has money in piles. The elder Smithson matriarch always had a fascination with Japan, and after a childhood of living in Korea Emilia was moved to Sakae Esuno's prefecture. From a young age the young woman had shown incredibly artistic talent, but a history of natural ADHD affected her performance in one of the most perfectionist and stressful cultures in the world, and thus Eun-Ji was in trouble. She disdained school and lived solely to have fun and work as inspiration called, and thus she always drew the ire of her teachers. That didn't really change in Japan, but her natural talent drew the attention of the school council, who while largely exasperated with her behavior, saw her talent for what it was and used it to secure the school places in national art competitions.

Thus it was that Emilia met Senpai, who personally appealed to her to join contests on the school's behalf. The young woman was fascinated with the attractive young man, and has since harbored 'artistic' tendencies towards depicting his likeness in works.

If they really want to, I'd totally support them. [lol]

It is an amusing concept, and I was half tempted to do it for real, but I doubt I have the ability to oversee a game where all the players actively trying to kill each other is the whole point. It could be soooooo darkly hilarious, but soooooo much could go wrong as well. Who knows though, maybe someday when someone's given the whole thing more than three days worth of thought!

Also, this was all planned, written, and directed by Starbound. I just posted it.

Actually, in theory, it'd lend itself very well to a hilariously dark adaptation of the Maid rules. Instead of a master, the senpai; instead of the manor, the school and surrounding environs.

And instead of maids, murderously lovesick classmates...
