The Reaper's Game

User Image

Introduction (The Story)

Tokyo, same old streets, same old people, living life normally as they cross the busy streets. Nobody knows what kind of things happen in the afterlife until they die. Unknown to everyone living freely in what is called the RG, or Real Ground, in a alternate world the dead walk in what is called the UG or UnderGround of the world.

It is known as The Reaper's Game that the dead are thrown into, where paying with the price of what is most dear to them they can play a game to achieve a second chance at life. The rules are simple, the "Players" as they are called have seven days to complete one mission per day or else they will be erased and never see the light of day again.

The game is controlled by the creator or the Composer who makes the missions and his minions, the Reapers who have power over erasing Players by summoning Noise which are monsters shaped like normal animals. The missions could be anything to reaching a certain destination to defeating certain Noises, but all of it is under a time limit which is imprinted into the Player's hand.

In the end, only certain Players get brought back to life and others will have to play the game again. Who will achieve life? Or will the Reapers win the game and defeat all Players in Tokyo?

The Different Characters

The Players
User Image

When somebody dies, they appear in the Headquarters of the Composer and are given a choice. A choice to play a game that will earn them a second chance at life, but they must pay with an entry fee, something that is the most dear to them. This could be anything from memories to a person.

Players can see and hear everything and everyone around them, but no one can see them. They are like a ghost, no one but Reapers and other Players able to see them. The game is best played with a Partner which Players need to find and Synch with so that they may complete missions together.

Players also are given powers to defeat the Noise with, powers known as their Psyche. Most Psyches are held within an object that is dear to the person or happens to be with them at the time of death, though there are some rare occasions of those who Psyche is something totally different. Their role in the game is to complete the missions given out to them by the Reapers in the time that is given to them, usually one mission each day. Once that mission is complete or sometimes just randomly, the day will end and they will wake up somewhere starting a new day.

Also if one paired up set of Players complete the mission, the other Players will also be safe. Also shops and such have been made by the Composer to serve Players so they can still buy food and clothes and such though they are dead.. o.o

The Reapers
User Image

Participating in the Games with the aim of earning promotions for their performance, the Reapers' goal is to ascend to the highest form of spiritual existence, the Angels. Angels supervise the Games and if the stakes of a Game are particularly high, they send down one of their own to serve as the Producer.

Reapers come with powers to summon Noise and their own special powers to take down Players if the Composer wills it, but normally the rules for the game involves only attacking Players with Noise. The Highest rank of their existence are the Angels, then the Producer who acts as a helper to guide new Players along, then the Composer and Conductor who compose the missions and rules. There are also Game Masters who are picked once a week to direct the regular Reapers and can make missions themselves with the guidance of the Composer.

Last there are the regular Reapers who patrol the streets and try to take out as many Players as possible using Noise or anything to hinder the Players from achieving the mission. They are usually easily to identify away from Players as all Reapers have a set of black demonic wings on their back.

Noise
User Image

Noise are monsters summoned from Reapers to hinder the Players from achieving the mission. They also roam the streets of Tokyo but only Players can see them. They take the form of animals but are strangely structured and colored in a way they can be told a part from actual animals.

Conclusion/Opening

Alright, I will be accepting profiles by PM and posting them in the Character Storage. That is also where I'll be posting my character. Though I'm going to play as a Player character, I don't think we'll need to start out with a Composer or Reapers yet though it'd be nice to get some of those positions filled. I'll possibly be making a Reaper character but I need to design one first. ^^

((Alright, intro post time..))

I used to have a dream..


She could hear the crowd roar from below her, the forms like tiny ants from her blurred sweated vision. She stepped back as to not turn vertigo, the small platform near the red Chinese dragon's head creaking softly underneath the pink wheels of her rollerblades. It was time.

She took a deep breath and looked over the edge before she started to skate and jumped on the back of the head of the crimson statue. In meer seconds she was skidding down the body, sparks flying from her wheels as she prepared for the largest jump trick she would ever have to face. Nearing the head she leapt, her long legs giving her strength as she flew into the air, the sunlight beaming down on her figure.

But everything below became odd shaped as she tried to twirl her landing, her famous Usagi jump, but lost her air balance and fell, fell down towards the ground. Then everything was black...

When she awoke she was face to face with a human shaped shadow. "Do you wish to live..?" it said, the voice distorted so she couldn't tell what gender it belonged to. She said nothing so the shadow continued. "We've seen your tricks. You.. have been chosen to play a game. If you win, you will be alive again, back to your saddened family and the world you love. But if you lose, you will be erased and disappear forever.."

She stared up at the shadowed figure, pink eyes lost and wondering. Another chance? Why wouldn't she take it? "I'll do it." she said, her face changing quickly to determination. The voice laughed. "I had a feeling you would.. Now, your Entry fee..." The shadow placed their hand on her head, and in an instant she was transported to the heart of Shinagama.

The girl awoke realizing she was still wearing everything she wore when she died, including her rollerblades. She could feel herself shudder as thoughts of her death flashed in her mind. Suddenly her phone beeped and on it was a text message. "You have been chosen to play the Reaper's Game. You must complete every mission the Game Master gives you in the next seven days. On the last day will be the final test. Succeed, and you may live. Don't and you will face being erased."


Now that dream has become my nightmare..

It only takes a moment...

User Image



Tsyuo was walking home today, happy as can be. The rain pouring down from above having no effect over his mood. I can't wait to show my parents and Rei... They're going to be so proud! He thought to himself, And then I'll take Rei out to get some ice cream. She had been bugging him about it for a while now.

Holding his scores in his hand, Tsuyo just couldn't help but look again. His scores were amazing, he placed in the top five percent in the country. He took a turn so he could cross the street and stepped out onto the crosswalk... The last thing he could remember was a loud horn, screeching tires, and a set of large lights.

Slowly waking up, Tsuyo thought he just had a bad dream, then he saw a monsterous shadow in front of him, making him back away quickly. "Do you wish to live?" The shadow spoke to him. Tsuyo was very confused, he then realized that he must be talking to an oni, and some tears rolled down his eyes. "You are intelligent. You... have been chosen to play a game. If you win, you will be alive again, back to your saddened family and the world you love. But if you lose, you will be erased and disappear forever..."

Tsuyo didn't understand, what did the shadow mean by erased? Was he not already dead? But when the shade mentioned family, it gave Tsuyo little choice. "... I accept" He spoke, fear still striking terror into his heart. "I had a feeling you would... Now, your entry fee..." The shadow placed it's hand on Tsuyo's head.

Finding himself on the ground near where he was, Tsuyo stood up and looked around. "So... It was a dream." His phone knocked in his pocket, indicating a text message. He hesitantly pulled it out, and read it's contents. "You have been chosen to play The Reaper's Game. You must complete every mission the Game Master gives you in the next seven days. On the last day will be the final test. Succeed, and you may live. Don't and you will face being erased." His phone dropped, he felt tears swelling into his eyes again before falling down to his knees with a scream of agony.
