{The Games}
[A shrouded figure in a Grim Reaper's cloak appears in front of you and hands you a letter. You're hesitant at first, but you take it and tear it open. It reads.....]
My name is not of any importance, but for now you can call me the Game Master. In these games, I will be testing your greatest strengths and revealing your darkest weaknesses. All are welcomed to participate. I currently have 17 spots open, and if you're the lucky winner you'll receive a fabulous prize! One wish shall be granted for surviving the games. But of course...no one has yet to win. ~ GM
{The Gameplay}
[Challenge of a Lifetime]
This role play will be an action/adventure, horror, suspense theme with many plots twists, numerous outcomes, and well deaths. This will bring a whole new meaning in writing your own fate. The objective of this role play is to outwit the games in wordplay and think of unique ways to pass the tests. You're completely on your own and sharing ideas would be an unwise choice unless the event is a team/tag-team challenge.Since this is a survivor type of role play, your character is allowed to have unique abilities (minus immortality and ultimate knowledge).
There are currently 17 spots open (including myself as the Game Master). There will be staff characters within the role play as well, but these are very minor characters that anyone can control. You'll be given 22 tarot card characteristics and your character's personality should be based around that general idea (Max: 2 OCs). I myself will be interacting with the players, but won't participate within the games. The color of your text will be based on your tarot card title coloring. If the colored font is not listed on this forums PM and I'll send you the code if you do not know how to change the color.
||How this works for your OC ||
Your OC will have a personality that you build on your own, but the strengths and weaknesses of your character will depend on the card you choose. For example: If you choose The Fool, the strength of your character will be that they are open minded, but their weakness is ignorance. At some point within the story, you will have to show these traits. Other than that your character is your own. If you want your character to be an calm, suave, mysterious person then they can be, but at some point they must show the characteristics of The Fool.
||How the Games Work ||
I have no real storyline, but the story will be created along the way as the characters interact and get deeper within the games. Once every position filled in, they'll be an introduction posting of each character getting into the games. From there we'll have a practice round to get use to the concept of the gaming. Once everyone understands I'll start the actual competition and judging.
The actual games will have death provoked obstacles and will require critical imaginative thinking, so surprise me on you approach the obstacles. Each game is an individual round unless it's a team/tag-team battle. Everyone has the same route and obstacles, but they're riding solo throughout the games. That means, you can either let your character survive with little or no damage, come out of the event heavily beaten and/or near death, or even kill your character. The posting will be based as if each character was running throughout the circuit simultaneously. At the end of each round, there is a break where the characters can interact and talk amongst each other.
For the team/tag-team challenges, once we have a certain amount of characters, I'll will put a certain amount of people on a team and it'll be a PVP environment. In PVP mode, you can temporarily say your opponents actions, but cannot control their attacks. For example:
Correct Format:
Team Member - She panted heavily and watched her opponent in the distance, mocking her with a feverish dance.
Opponent - He watched from the air, hovering over her in circles and preparing his next move.
Incorrect Format:
Team Member - She panted heavily and watched her opponent in the distance, mocking her with a feverish dance. She then prepared herself as he dove at her to strike.
This is unfair to your fellow player if you say their next move for them, especially if that's not what they were going for.
Team - Everyone on your team battles against the rival team
Tagteam - Each person on your team fight 1-on-1 against the rival team, simultaneously.
{The Rules/Information}
[Just because I'm not there within the games doesn't mean I'm not watching. Now what kind of host would I be if I just vanished in thin air?]

Age: 22
Bio: The Pyromancer with magical skills that will make your jaw drop. Don't let his badass appearance fool you, he has a heart of gold. He's been traveling from town to town showing off his magical abilities to all people, and for free too! He is quite reknown for his ability to create, manifest, and control fire. There's one question you may ask, "Why does he have cat ears and a tail?" While he was traveling, he experimented with cat DNA, and the rest is History. Speaking of history, he never really has told anyone his history, whether it's because it hurts too much, or he just doesn't want to.

The Emperor
[Keitan Lyme Played by Nivrad00]
Character's Appearance: Everything about Keitan seems rather angular. He has straight brown hair, thin arms, clothes that are never wrinkled and a chin that nearly ends in a point. His eyes are hazel. His height is too average to be distinguishing, but at first sight he always seems small. His hands are in perpetual movement, never sitting still. His mouth is usually set in a thin line, but it curves into a smile more often than a frown. A raven often sits on his shoulder.
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Bio: Keitan's closest family is the raven who is always with him, which goes literally and figuratively. Never really knowing his parents, only from a few flashes of memory, he remembers growing up in an impromptu shelter for homeless children in a city. He's pretty sure his real parents aren't actually dead, and that they probably weren't married when he was born. He had been abandoned.
In any case, one boy, 12 at the time, who visited the shelter often, singled him out. Keitan stayed in the shelter for as little time as possible; and this only served to make him more interesting. Eventually, Keitan met the boy. His name was Chris. Chris Duke Lyme, was his full name; "but call me Deuce," he said with a wink, pulling a playing card out of his coat pocket between two fingers- a two of spades. Keitan was 10 years old, and thought that this Deuce was- frankly- pretty awesome.
They became best of friends in the next year, the two of spades becoming sort of a secret signal between the pair. Keitan was introduced to Deuce's parents eventually, and from there the boy was often invited to his house. By the time Deuce was 15 and Keitan 13, the parents were signing a form and leaving the shelter for the last time. Keitan had been adopted.
The next years passed happily, but then the parents began to act strangely. They were never home, and there were strange sounds coming from their room, and the boys could have sworn they heard voices coming from in there when there should have been no one. Eventually, they caught on to their parents by sneaking into the trunk of the SUV when they left home, and found themselves in an entirely new world. Surely, that man wasn't holding fire in his hand? Surely, that pair of snakes had not just turned into humans, a respectable looking woman and an equally sophisticated man? And, oh my God, what were his parents doing, making motions near a painting, and- God- stepping through.
Yes. It was magic. And Keitan and Deuce had just witnessed it, whether they wanted to, or not.
Along with the power also came enemies- Keitan's adoptive family was never really safe. This was proven when men came bursting through the door, flame on their fingertips, animals prowling the floor besides them. "Come out," they commanded. "Or we'll drag you out by your fingernails!"
Their parents didn't survive. Keitan was lucky, and escaped to his old home. For a while, he thought that the magicians had taken Deuce- but then, he came across a raven hopping down the road. In his beak was clamped firmly an old and tattered two of spades.
"Oh, Deuce," said Keitan, disbelievingly. The raven cocked his head. "What have they done to you?"
Keitan is calm and collected, level-headed and practical. If there's something to do, he won't hesitate to do it. However, he is often racked with indecision that Deuce sometimes resolves for him. He can smile and laugh, but most of the time, he prefers to be quiet; tapping out a rhythm with his fingers and observing the world around him.
Deuce is slick, smooth, and Keitan's perfect counterbalance. He can make his adoptive brother laugh anytime he wants to. He is always confident and will choose any path he thinks is correct- he often is stopped by his brother before he blunders into trouble. He used to be fairly attractive, black-haired, blue-eyed, and never had to work hard to get a girlfriend; he is good-hearted, though, and his relationships were sincere. He is tall and once took martial arts.
Now, well- he's a raven. He cannot talk, but the two know each other so well they can still- sort of- communicate. They both share a love for their parents.
Abilities: Little to none. Keitan has nimble fingers, the mind of a tinkerer and can go unnoticed easily. Deuce is an advantage in many situations, being a bird and all. Keitan has very little experience with weaponry, but has fought before on the streets. If it counts for anything, he knows how to play the piano and can jump pretty far.
Purpose for Entering the Games: Keitan wandered the streets for a while. Was there no magician who could turn his brother normal once more? No, there seemed not to be. If, just if, they beat the Game; then maybe not only could Deuce regain his form, maybe- possibly- just maybe- their parents could also be resurrected....
Very stable, but tends to be indecisive.

The Moon
[Rikarah Pallaton Played by Faith Eliza Cord]
Character's Appearance: Click Here.
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Bio: From the time she was quite young Susannah was gifted with empathic ability. She was always good at reading people’s emotions, and because of her superior intelligence and astute instincts, was able to skillfully handle people and work them to her will. As she grew her ability strengthened even without her conscious efforts, so that she could feel what people felt as well as simply sensing it, and she grew able to control it and keep it at a distance from herself rather than allowing others’ emotions to control her.
Susannah was a quiet, well mannered child and teenager, excelling in school and extracurricular activities, though she did not participate in many. She was gifted artistically in all ways, particularly drawing, painting, and sculpting, though she was also an excellent actress, a fair singer, and a gifted dancer. She got along well with her peers and was generally well liked and regarded by most. This was in direct contrast to the ominous, uneasy undertone of her home life. Although Susannah was never abused outright, there was always the threat of it lurking within, and she, with her ability to sense emotion and wishes, knew it fully.
April Pallis,her mother, was a weak willed woman who seemed more of a child than her own children; she was not very involved with her daughters and allowed Isabella to get away with a lot and did not interfere with either child’s well being. George Pallis set up a home with sexual undertones that were inappropriate to a father daughter relationship, with both Susannah and Isabella. Although he never actively abused either girl, he often “accidentally” walked in on them while they were in the bathroom or undressing, deliberately brushed them, eyed them, or made insinuative comments. Isabella used this to her advantage and flirted to get her way with things; Susannah was repulsed and avoided him as much as possible. When she tried to speak with her mother, April brushed her off helplessly; Susannah realized that her mother had known all along and did nothing. Isabella, meanwhile, had a difficult relationship with Susannah; a typical baby of the family, she was openly rude and insulting to Susannah, particularly in front of her parents, and went out of her way to attempt to anger or embarrass her.
Susannah began to daydream of killing her family; when she finally did the deed, it was not from an impulse or a moment of “snapping,” but rather carefully controlled thought. At the age of seventeen, Susannah murdered her fifteen year old sister and both her parents, cutting off their heads and setting them up as an artistic display; she developed it along the theme of “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” by matching it to her family’s traits, sewing shut the eyes of her father, the ears of her mother, and the lips of her sister, in order to match up with how she viewed that they failed her. Changing her name to Rikarah Eve Pallaton, she moved to New York City and finished out her education on her own, working and supporting herself at the same time that she attended school, also using up her parents’ money and resources. She continued her artwork and often sold it on the side for extra money…and continued killing.
Rikarah enjoyed the murder and subsequent artwork of her family so thoroughly that she began to look for an opportunity to do it again. She began to scout out potential victims, but not just any person would do; they must meet her standard of approval of “deserving” it. She was a moralistic killer in a way.
Abilities: Empath to a degree, skilled with weapons
Purpose for Entering the Games: To find a mate like herself; entertainment and challenge
A master at manipulation...problem is, the plans tend to be found out fairly quick.

Judgement
[Reisuke Houjou Played by Reisuke Houjou]
Character's Appearance: Click Here.
Gender: Male
Age: 4
Bio: On the outside, Reisuke can appear to be the average toddler. He's polite, curious, bright, and cheerful, just like most children his age. However, his life was harsh, and he is quite complex beneath his childish exterior. His parents were abusive, with completely opposite hobbies (shopping and gambling), usually resulting in a fight between the two on how they're splurging for their own selfish gains. This usually happened with Reisuke around, causing him to despise all adults (there are exceptions), and becoming independent and responsible. However, his parents have rubbed off on him; he's become sadistic, cruel, and creepy. He's also quite intelligent for his age, spending his free time reading or drawing in the local library, and is also a master strategist. Perfect psychotic game material, is he not?
He is burdened with quite the sad history. As said, his parents were abusive and neglectful, usually ignoring Reisuke and fighting in front of him. To them, he was just there, part of the background. However, they weren't completely evil, because on one occasion they seemed nice enough to buy him two hand puppets, one that looks like a male, and one that looks like a female. He named the male Len, and the female Lin. He uses those two as the ideal mother and father that his real parents failed to be. One day, his parents suddenly joined a religious cult, called the "Koyabashiki Shrine". This cult was hateful, evil, and generally cast a bad atmosphere, despite claiming to be divine. Two months after joining, his parents, as well as other cult members, bodies were found at the temple, apparently gruesomely slashed. The police called it a mass suicide, but Reisuke was there to witness it. It was actually a mass murder, by one suspicious individual. Although his parents were horrible, he thought that he could spend his life avenging them. He hated the feeling that somebody killed his parents, no matter how evil they seemed to be.
One day, he was at home, all alone. He had escaped from the refugee hospital to visit the house, where somebody knocked on the door. Now, any good child would know not to open the door under those circumstances, but what could one do? Reisuke was psychotic. So, he opened the door, to see a man with dirty hair, messed up clothing, and an eye patch over his left eye. He spoke in a gruff voice, like dirt. He told him something about his parents. Nobody knows what he told him, but somehow he was convinced that the murderer of his parents were part of "The Games".
Abilities: Reisuke is a strange child, knowing all about poison and chemicals. He is also quite intelligent, and a master strategist. He also owns a three-in-one-gun. It contains poison, acid, and tar... Just imagine it like a water gun. Now, switch the word poison, acid, or tar with water. And it's three in one, don't forget that. A four year old needs to defend himself in some way!
Purpose: To cast 'judgement' on the murderer of his parents.
A very quick witted mind, but some consequence may end bitterly, maybe even death.
The World

One who has lived a fulfilling life and wishes to live more, but due to this your vision of adventure is blurred.
