The Restless…

That was the funny thing about being dead. In life you got used to certain things; technology and modern inventions like firearms. They were a part of your life and you never once thought about how they worked. Now, with no machines and computers, they were all relying on their memories and the scrapes of trivia that they knew in order to reinvent the most basic of things. An automatic pistol would have been nice right about now, as would have a good cup of coffee…

RULES!

Like all roleplays, there is a list of rules that need to be followed. Unlike all other roleplays, the nature of this game does call for a few more than usual.

So, to begin with...



Character Creation:

* We are open to Japanese muses, as well as Korean and Chinese. Remember that the storyline is mainly set in Tokyo, so all Korean and Chinese muses will be immigrants. We also accept female muses though this is primarily a yaoi fandom, so keep that in mind.

* All characters need to be posted into the ‘Application’ forum. Once approved a mod will move the thread to the Accepted Applications forum.

* For each character, please register as a new user. Your user name should be the first name of your character and your avatar should be an image portraying your character. Please avoid using any form of punctuation marks in your log in name.

* To begin with, you are allowed to create four (4) characters. While this may seem a lot of characters to some people, the four need to be balanced in the following way:
- Two live humans
- Two characters in the After Life (either lost souls, light or dark soldiers)

* If starting out with a live character, please fill in the appropriate profile. When that character dies, you will be required to add a few extra fields to it in regards to their after life position etc. If you are applying for a character already in Mid Heaven then you will need to fill out the deceased profile.


General Rules:

* Yaoi/slash etc is accepted. This is, after all, a roleplay based off JRock and we all know how much they – and the fangirls – love the fanservice. For this reason yaoi will be allowed. What we don’t want to see is just post after post of smut, PWP or even worse (in Minka’s opinion) fluff. Anything found along these lines (and that has no relevance to the storyline) will be deleted and a warning will be issued.

* No flaming other users. This is a vital rule. Even though we are trying to create a battle ground here, we don’t want character rivalry spreading and consuming the players. We are all here to have fun.

* As corny as it sounds, have fun. That is the purpose of all of this after all.


Posting Rules:

* Members can mark a topic as Closed. If you and your rival want to have an all out battle without being disturbed, or you are wanting to get something sorted out with one of your underlings, then by all means, mark the topic as Closed. For those of you who don’t know, this means that you can read, but none of your characters are allowed to interfere without permission from one of the posters.

* Both the human city and Mid Heaven is divided into sections. While this is helpful, it does create a timeline issue. We would like to encourage you to try and only have a character active in one topic at a time but obviously this can’t always be the case. However, we would like to avoid having characters active in multiple topics in the same section of the city.

* Please keep all off topic conversation in the Off Topic forums. If it is vital for you to communicate within the In Character threads, please make sure that you show it is you talking and not your character. (( Brackets )) and ** stars ** are a good way to do this.

* No one-liner posts unless it is really necessary.


Storyline Rules:

* If your live character meets Yogensha then they are as good as dead. Remember this. If you see him lurking around, you will have one chance to run and that is it. If you continue on with the thread, then Yogensha will take your heart and you will cross into the next life.

* You can make death requests via Minka; PM or email is preferred.

* Humans can kill each other in the human world. Remember to have it organized with the victim before you start your murdering spree though.

* No dead characters are to have any contact with the land of the living. Only those stated within the land of the living have contact with the land of the dead. Declare your love for grilled cheese in the profile, just to show that you are reading. So consider them as two completely separate RPG’s; at least until the storyline progresses.

* If you die in Mid Heaven then your character is dead for good. There is no coming back from that so keep that in mind when you get involved in battles.

* The human souls in Mid Heaven have started up industry. This means that they do have weapons such as flint lock guns; primarily though, the main things used are the more archaic swords and knives mixed with the whole idea of Steam Punk. Think of movies like Water World, the 1999 Beowulf, Gabriel, Perfect Creatures etc.

- They do not have TV, cell phones, cars, motorbikes, automatic weapons, horses etc
- They do have radios, Morse code, unreliable electricity, furnace powered hot water, self rolled cigarettes, homemade unrefined alcohol, flint lock guns and basic TNT/gunpowder. This list can and will expand as the story progresses.

Virtues and Sins:

* Only one muse can represent each Virtue/Sin at a time.

* Some of the Virtues and Sins are the originals (such as Reita and Wataru) others are x number of incarnations. This means that the original sin (from the dawn of time) has been killed and thus others have stepped up to take their place.

* They are not indestructible. All characters in Mid Heaven can die/be wounded. Granted that the sins/virtues/foot soldiers are more resilient then the humans, if you get stabbed through the heart or decapitated etc then that is it. You cease to exist.

Human Souls:

* Human souls, while dead, are still fundamentally human. They need to eat, sleep and they will stink if they don’t shower. They are susceptible to wounds and injuries and can die from things such as blood loss. However, they can be healed by those with the power or just through the good old fashioned way of rest and medicine.

* Those that have been there a long time will start to adapt to the land and the strange powers within. That is normally in the way of gaining elemental powers. They are very unlikely to become demons or creatures of light and there has not been a single recorded case of a human leaning to transform into a lupus/feline/vampire etc. At least thus far...

* In Mid Heaven, the souls are an exact physical representation of when they were alive. If they got tattoos during their life then they will have tattoos in Mid Heaven. Of course though, they show no signs of the way they died cause that would just be wholly unpretty.
