"Not all heroes wear capes! Or masks! Or... you get me, don't you? You definitely do."
The Hero Club. A brand new club that constantly does volunteer work, such as visiting orphanages and nurseries to entertain children, helping stray animals find new homes, finding lost children or animals, and all that. Sometimes they may even It's relatively new. It is lead by the first-year high schooler Akizuki Akane.
You have chosen to join this club, being a hero and all. What awaits? I don't know.
Every week, the Hero Club looks into their 'Hero Box', which is a fancily-named yet ordinary-looking mailbox where people around the school send them problems where they will either provide advice or personally solve. At the start of the RP, the Akizuki Akane attempts to make ties with the President of the School Newspaper Club.
"Are you my minion? Or are you my equal? Either way, you are now a denizen of my realm."
The Occult Society, also known as the Occult Club. The club president prefers the former term. It seeks out the supernatural, and seeks out to do the supernatural, to find the supernatural, and to be the supernatural. Their activities range from finding supernatural occurences in the town to doing so outside the regular comfort zone. It is lead by first-year middle schooler Akizuki Akira, who has a case of chuunibyou. You mistake said chuunibyou for a reason to see that this club is more legit than the average Occult Society.
You have chosen to join this club, since you feel that it is beneficial to you. What awaits? I don't know.
Rules and Notes
The usual - no godmodding and powerplaying and all that.
It's reccomended that you have a maximum of two characters, one on each side if you are aiming to do so.
I do not reccomend playing your own rival or foe. However, if you have a reason, such as fearing that your conditions may be a little too specific, I will consider. Try to avoid doing so, though, as it reduces competitiveness.
For Hero Club members, your character is roughly based off the concept of anime protagonists. For Occult Society members, your character will be their respective antagonists, rivals or foes. Of course, you can do the other way round, like putting the Hero in the occult society. It would make sense because some goodie two shoes love a little magic in their life and even villains have a heart.
For two characters that share the same 'genre', I would prefer it if you used the same or at least similiar concepts. For example, the hero uses Getter Rays to power his mech, but the antagonist must use something similiar, and not something different like Spiral Energy. You can't just pull angels into a setting with solely ghost exorcists that shoot talismans and crap. You get what I'm saying, don't you? Of course, there are minor exceptions here and there, like the hero using a sword and the villain using cool magic, but please, while I do wish to see a great deal of differences and contrast, don't make these differences TOO far-fetched. Make sure both hero and villain would fit into the same universe context.
As mentioned, this school hosts both middle and high school students. So the age range is 12 for pre-birthday 1st year middle school, to 18 for post-birthday 3rd year high school. Each has three years.
I do encourage wacky occurences, but I'll have to make sure your abilities aren't broken. So please cooperate.
My word is final. And I'm a very benevolent person as long as you don't nuke everything.
The banned genres are anything romance-oriented, because those might complicate things, especially harem and its sister genre, reverse harem. If you want story romance, try making one among our characters in-story. Romance will be present in the story if a character initiates it. Slice of Life are banned too, because this IS A SLICE-OF-LIFE ANIME RP THING. And that would be redundant. Very redundant. 'Sports' and 'Idol' are allowed, though.
Avoid or at least reduce
directly mixing genres together. You can however, borrow concepts from other genres, like making your mech or mecha musume exosuit run on some kind of magic or demon magic. This rule is primarily in check to observe the thin line between Fantasy and Supernatural, and doesn't truly have any other purpose, so yeah, go wild.
I'm trying to avoid special snowflakes as they are called. Please cooperate or you will be eliminated. Any sign of blatant Mary Sue-ness will be noted.
Remember that this is a comedy Roleplay with a shared universe context. There will be heartwarming gigs, spooky gigs, but please do not go all edgy and shit. That is the one thing that should never be in a comedic gig. You can have the past of such characters, or even the personality of such characters as long as you tone them down, but I AM WATCHING YOU.
Avoid blatant references! (without my permission, but usually if you do ask I'll say 'no' and be unconvinced no matter what you say) This is our world, not the world of other official series. Only I get to throw in blatant crossovers, but even then I won't do it too often and leave them as surprises.
Absence of one weeks will result in a PM being sent to you to remind you. Absence of two weeks will make your character be considered for deletion. Three weeks worth of absence is definite removal. If you have your reasons for being absent, say them! In other words, make sure you can stay dedicated!
If your character is considered for deletion, [INACTIVE] will be added beside it. During such, I may allow others to take your spot.
There is one exception to the above two rules. I will require all roleplayers to post once before anyone can post again. This will apply for each arc, event and such. If it has been 72 hours since the last post, the roleplayers may post as normal.
To prove that you have read this, include in your application under 'Appearance' your height in METRES AND CENTIMETRES.
Post your applications in the signups thread, otherwise they will be IGNORED. Yep, you heard me, IGNORED.
