OOC Thread: Storytellers: Death Note

Recommended Posts

This is [s]actually an experiment in tandem writing[/s] an RP, taking place within the Shinigami Realm of the Death Note Universe. Your character is a Shinigami. You're free to leave the Shinigami Realm and explore the human realm, but nothing important will probably happen and all the other Shinigami will probably ignore you.

[quote name='Story']The Shinigami Ryuk has just returned from his visit to the human realm. He tells his Shinigami breathern all about his adventures with Light for the past... I dunno how many years it was? Five or something? The past 100 years with Light. His fellow Shinigami meanwhile play cards and ignore him. not to be outdone, as Shinigami are naturally prideful creatures, any random Shinigami approaches him.

"That's all well and good, but we have a much more interesting story to tell you." And so, it began. All the shinigami within the shinigami realm now relate a random story made up on the spot that must be much more interesting then Ryuk's.[/quote]

[u]Rules[/u]:

1: Creativity is the key. Be CREATIVE! Can not stress that enough. Feel free and/or encouraged to push the story any way you want, without the RP leader around.

2: You know how the "official" rule is 4 lines minimum, but individual RP starters can set it other things? Five lines minimum.

3: Advance Clause, no god modding, no power playing, Fox Only, Final Destination and etc etc.

But remember, even though it's against the rules to take control of another character (in this case, another Shinigami), making your character (a Shinigami) say anything is perfectly within the rules. (As in, if the next speaker creates 2 or 3 characters within the confides of the story they are relating to Ryuk, feel free to take control of them within the story, describe them, etc etc)

4: While knowledge of Death Note is not mandatory, it is recommended.


Application:
I originally wanted this to be an RP thread without an application, but I changed my mind.

Your application:

Write a one sentence (maximum) introduction establishing the first sentence of the story. Act as though you are the first person meeting Ryuk, about to tell him a grand an epic tale. ("One day, Bob found a Death Note." Something like that, but significantly less terrible.) Descriptive terms are fine. Run-on sentences, not so much.


If you have any questions (either right now or as the story progresses), please do not hesitate to ask either in this topic or via a PM or something.

"Kroto, the Provoker" Ryuk murmured. Kroto slowly put his hand behind his back revealing to Ryuk, 2 Death Notes, Kroto put the books vertical in front of Ryuk, pages suddenly swung across to the other side of the opened books, each page filled with the names of people. The pages stopped on the last page of each Death Note, the last names to be written in each Death Note, were, Light Yagami and Verda Yagami. Ryuk's eyes suddenly widened with interest. "Sit down Ryuk, let me tell you of the 2 worlds that seperated Light and his cousin."

hope that's not to long.

[i]Thanatos was one of the oldest Shinigami. It was only a shame he forgot the 'how' for the existence of the Shinigami. Either way, he had heard Ryuk's story, but what he had experienced just a while ago could be more interesting. He approached the Shinigami called Ryuk, and stopped. Maybe his own story truly wasn't better than Ryuk's, but it was interesting enough. What else could he do, frail self as he was, skeleton and all. "That's all well and good, but I might have just as an interesting story to tell you." He said to the Shinigami Ryuk. And then he began telling the story of Mirage, or Ω-Kira, a Kira who manipulated even the Shinigami himself to achieve his own goals, even though in the end, Ω-Kira couldn't take it anymore.[/i]

I'd probably be more lenient if you at least made an attempt to get it down to one sentence. <_<

I'm in. Ryozu had killed the shinigami king, in an attempt to upraise the realm of the shinigami world so that he may take over, just to relieve his boredom, and an all out war between shinigami had broken out just to cure bordem.

Meh, it's a little too 'run-on-sentence-y', but considering the rules I guess you did okay. Approved.

Imagine that being the "sink or swim" rule that normal RP-ers include then. The "write the word banana... in helvetica! somewhere in your profile" thing.

Feel free to apply again, if you so wish. Though I really SHOULD remind you that the story can be about just about anything. The action doesn't have to take place entirely within the Shinigami Realm, and in fact it would be greatly perfered if the action did not take place in the Shinigami Realm.

A shorter Version:

2 Death Notes were held vertically in front of Ryuk's eyes, the pages flapped wildly revealing the final names of each Death Note to be, "Verda Yagami" and "Light Yagami". Ryuk's eyes widened with curiosity as Kroto smirked an evil smirk. "Sit Ryuk, let me tell you of the 2 visions of the perfect world."

thats like 1 sentance reallhy if you take out all the descriptions
