A nameless city in the Pacific Ocean. Its origins are of no matter, but what is of matter is the people who inhabit it. One year ago, a shadow fell over the city. This shadow kept anyone and anything from entering in or out. Naturally, panic sparked, but something more intriguing came about. Out of the sky fell... Masks. The plain white accessories floated down gently. Though seemingly identical, these masks were all unique inside. You see... The Masquerade was beginning, and these Masks were the invitations. Unfortunately, certain Masks didn't sync well and turned the recipients into Masked Monsters. Maskers they soon came to be called. When the Masks did sync with their recipients, a much more interesting transformation occurred. Some people changed appearance, some changed all together, all had unique powers and abilities. What set them further apart was that these Guests were able to apply and remove their masks of unique appearance at will. The one catch, however, is that the Masks gradually drained the users' stamina. The more powerful the mask, the greater the drain. After a year of a pointless war against the Maskers, something... Interesting, even for the nameless city, was about to begin.

Name: Shiori Takane

Sex: Female

Age: 15

Appearance: http://oi57.tinypic.com/muvpja.jpg

Mask name: Bloody Mask

Mask description: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=57459569

Wearer becomes flirtatious but also incredibly bloodthirsty and very difficult to negotiate with.

Mask ability: Able to assess an opponents remaining stamina, and allows the user to manipulate their own blood with little lethal risk. Stealing blood of others restores energy, and injecting her own blood into a foe, though difficult, is often an assured, able to incapacitate, manipulate, or outright to end life depending on the amount she shared.

Masked appearance: http://oi57.tinypic.com/2h564k0.jpg

Backstory: Shiori was always a quiet girl, preferring to sit in the corner of whatever room she was in and read whatever fantasy novel she had with her at the time. She became a hopeless fan girl of the vampires she read about, and often daydreamed them as the heartthrobs of her school. She was so shy that she never talked about her interests, however. In fact, she rarely speaks at all. Her social skills (or lack thereof), choice of literature, and extreme hemophobia led her to believe she was a disappointment to her parents who were both well respected doctors.

Theme:

 

Let's all have fun together ^_^

You already sung all the song. That's disappointing.

No sing along then I suppose.

Okay, I am so done for the night. Ciao!

 

 

Don't destroy my notifications, please~?

 

What babe?

Impossible.

The babe with the power!

I have an idea for a character, but I cannot decide the mask/powers/abilities...

Any help? : D

I didn't think it would be so hard

Okay, I'm going to put down an almost blank sign up sheet now because I need to turn off my laptop right now. I'll begin editing on my iPod right away, so just give me a little time to produce the final product.

 

 

Name: Charles Cerberus Cross

 

Sex: Male

 

Age: 19

 

Appearance:

 

 

Mask Name: Raiden (Literally meaning "God of Lightning".)

 

Mask Description: Due to the nature of the mask's power, the users nerves may become dull from over use. The user will also, and most likely, receive electrical signals sent from the mask to the brain through the nervous system. This will cause the user to develop a Dissociative Identity Disorder.

 

 

 

Mask Ability: The mask allows the user to manipulate electrical currents flowing from their own body as well as from electrical equipment. This may also include slightly influencing lightning during a storm.

 

Masked Appearance:

 

 

Backstory: Charles Cerberus Cross, more commonly referred to as Chase by his friends, was the son of the head of a famous electronics company. Messing around with extrinsic a since he was young, Chase grew up building gadgets while his father and mother pestered him on becoming a great man who would take over the family company. Feeling overwhelmed and backed into a corner, Chase packed his bags and left the big city at the age of 16. Spending many nights alone and on the streets, Chase learned to look after himself with the bare minimum, using only what was available to him to get by. Even though he spent many months on the streets, nothing could stop Chase's unwavering optimism and happiness, appearing cheerful in even the most dire of situations.

 

Eventually, Chase realised that to support himself properly, he would need a job. Finding his way to The City, Chase "acquired" a job as an electro-scientist after simply dropping his name. As electronics was his hobby and was the major thing he excelled in while studying at school, he was more than prepared for the job he was given. Since then, Chase has lived comfortably in his own apartment. That is, until the masks began raining from the sky.

 

After a few weeks, Chase began growing attached to his mask and the handiness of being able to manipulate electricity for his job. However, he noticed that many were misusing the power they were given. Feeling as if he was capable of something, Chase began to patrol the night while wearing his mask. With a high sense of justice, Chase took it upon himself to "eliminate" all those who would misuse their powers by either destroying their masks or if necessary... Murder.

Well to be fair Mine, my character was "technically" posted before yours.

I have my character ready but I just have a quick question. I always use my phone to rp, so I don't really know the equivalent to three lines from the phone. Is this okay? I usually just type as much as I can for the post.

From my own experience, five lines of mobile text is close enough to three desktop lines

Name: Viridem Mors

Sex: Female

Age: 17

Appearance: 

Mask Name: Blighted Gale

Mask Description: The mask is a smaller masquerade type mask, that covers only his eyes. It's sky blue and is sparkly, almost like the effect sequins create except with a smooth surface. The mask makes her even more susceptible to her temper, becoming quick to anger and uncharacteristically violent when she is so.

Mask Ability: When masked, she can manipulate ice and wind, becoming an effective walking blizzard.

Masked Appearance: (but with the mask on of course)

Backstory: A girl who grew up in the slums, but hated it. She hated the lifestyle, the resignation, and refused to be a part of it. She never stopped working towards the goal of becoming higher, a self dependent member of high society. She had finally managed to make it, gaining a small position of an internship at a well known corporation, when the masks fell. Since then, she has attempted to hide her mask in attempts to step away from it as well.

Thanks! Do you also know how many spaces on an IPhone is a tab? The stupid phone doesn't have a tab key -_-

 

Here's my sheet too!

Name: Rafael Mondego

Sex: Male

Age: 9

Appearance:

Mask name: Mask of the Shadows

Mask description:

Rafael will act more childish and active in this mask. He will feel very lonely and in need of companionship, where he needs an ally with him. When he is upset, he will be much more hostile, using his abilities to torment the enemy. He will hardly ever speak, however he will giggle quite often.

Mask ability: The mask gives Rafael the ability to turn into a shadow and move around as such. He can also turn things into shadows including people as well. He also gains the ability to transfer his consciousness into a phantom of himself which can possess animals as well as humans only for a limited amount of time. This phantom can also move around, phase through objects as well as touch them. From wearing the mask often, it causes vomiting, terrible appetite, frequent night terrors/nightmares, as well as being unable to speak for a short period of time.

Masked appearance:

Backstory: Rafael comes from a very wealthy and noble family. He loved his parents dearly, and always rely on them for everything. He doesn't have any friends, but doesn't care for he considered his parents his best friends. After the masks came down from the sky, it turned his mother and father into horrid monsters. He was somehow able to escape, however he was very distraught and devastated at being alone without them. He put on his mask after getting away in hopes of turning into a monster so that he could be with his parents again. Instead, it turned him into a Guest. Rafael now wanders around the city, hiding and sleeping in any place he could find. This experience has left him scared, shy, however much more mature and aware for his age.

Sorry for the repost, but is this still a thing?

I've been wondering the same thing to be honest. I'll be going on Holiday next week, so I might have to drop out before this thing even starts.
