Voila, a Christmas themed Role Play, it's not as retarded as it may sound. It may seem a little early for this, but I should have enough plot to get all the way to Christmas. Read the story for details. Expect an unexpected plot twist, but don't worry, it will make sense. There's also another thing going on at the same time... just to complicate things, but it will turn out to be very relevant to the plot.

[size=3][spoiler='The Story']
[font=Arial][background=transparent]Thousands of aspiring Duelists emerged into the intense world of Duel Monsters with the coming of Dr. Christopher Mason and the ChristMas Charity Corporation. Dr. Mason, moderately well-known Duelist, archaeology and history buff and DuelTech Research and Development Department Head Scientist, discovered the legendary card known as “Santa Claus” in a mysterious mausoleum far north. Successfully buying DuelTech’s new experimental technology for manifesting Duel Spirits a day Kaiba Corp even knew about the patent, he brought Santa Claus into the real world. Santa and his elves were able to create Duel Disks and Duel Gazers without any sort of production cost and deliver them to the poor who could not afford them. Christopher Mason took the others and sold them to people who could afford them for next to no cost. The public was overjoyed.[/background][/font]

[font=Arial][background=transparent]But not everyone was happy with the ChristMas Charity Corporation. Kaiba Corp’s sales where spiraling downwards, they were rocketing towards bankruptcy. The current CEO of Kaiba Corp, Muramasa Kaiba, vowed to do something about it. He sent Duel Assassins to challenge Christopher Mason to Shadow Duels and more to stop the shipments as well as to steal the Duel Spirit Manifestation technology. Dr. Mason, with the help of Santa Claus, was able to defeat the ones sent so far, but the skill of the Duel Assassins sent is increasing and he is under no illusion that he could beat them all.[/background][/font]

[font=Arial][background=transparent]A plea for help has been sent. Duelists are being hired to protect Dr. Mason and the Duel equipment shipments. But at the same time there is another job for the taking, Kaiba Corps seeks more Assassins and offers a great rewards for anyone who joins their cause. Will you defend the cause of charity and altruism? Or will you seek personal gain at the cost of the happiness of others?[/background][/font][/size]

[spoiler='More to the Story']
That is not all that's going on right now. The Kaiba Family is, at the same time, trying awaken the Three Gods Sin Trio, The Betrayer, The Destroyer and The Miser. With the power of this new Divine Trinity, Kaiba Corps will be able to overcome all difficulties and can easily crush the ChristMas Charity Corp. Being a little early for Christmas, this may take up a lot of the focus of the story until December.

[font=Arial][background=transparent]Many details about the world, towns and cities even, I will allow you to make up by yourself, anything that seems particularly important or may affect the storyline in some way requires a PM.[/background][/font]
[font=Arial][background=transparent]We have advanced quite a bit into the future and people are just beginning to settle on the moon, though this is not very relevant to the storyline as of yet.[/background][/font]

[font=Arial][background=transparent]Because of my ignorance of Yugioh’s plot and setting, this story will take place in an entirely new place. The two main cities are below.[/background][/font]
[hr]
[spoiler='Spiral City Database']
[font=Arial][background=transparent]Spiral City is a massive metropolis by the sea, characterized by the Spiral, which gave the city its name. [b]It is situated southwest in the country-continent and serves as the capital of one of the three States of the country.[/b] The Spiral (pictured in spoiler) is like a tiered city on its own, it spirals upwards, the richer at the top and the poorer at the bottom, but merely living on the Spiral means that you are above middle class. The Spiral merely takes up 1/10 of the city space, the rest of the city is quite poor, the farther away you are from the Spiral the poorer you are. The current population count stands at 7,777,777 people and the city is a total of approximately 400 sq miles. At the very edge are the factories, the sea breeze blows the smoke away to pollute the suburbs instead.[/background][/font]

[/spoiler]

[font=Arial][background=transparent]Major and notable buildings in Spiral City include the Kaiba Colosseum which also hosts the Kaiba Corp HQ, it is where Duels are held. There are currently exactly 1000 Duel Stages inside for ranked play and alas, the Duel Stadium which hosts seats for 100,000 people.[/background][/font]

[font=Arial][background=transparent]The Town Hall is also a museum containing many great historical and ancient artifacts, including many pertaining to Duel Monsters and Duel Spirits. Above the Town Hall is the Tower, where the rich Kaiba family lives.[/background][/font]

[font=Arial][background=transparent]The two most important personalities in the town are Muramasa Kaiba, the current Kaiba Corp CEO, and his twin brother, Gin Kaiba, the Mayor of Spiral Town.[/background][/font]

[hr]
[spoiler='Polar Star City Database']
[font=Arial][background=transparent]Polar Star City is the biggest city to the north and happens to be the current headquarters of the ChristMas Charity Corporation. It is a moderate sized city, at 1 million people in population and approximately 100 sq miles but[/background][/font][/size][b] serves as the capital of the Northern State.[/b][font=Arial][size=3][background=transparent]. Its always snowy in Polar Star City due to it being just within the Arctic Circle. There isn’t any great defining points about the city, the people there are poorer compared to the other peoples of the continent but they are content and live in harmony.[/background][/size][/font]

[size=3][font=Arial][background=transparent]At winter time, however, the city almost doubles in size for the great Midwinter Festival, which spreads throughout the entire city. It features feasts and buffets outdoors with the snowflakes falling. There are ice sculpture and snowman contests, figure skating shows, parades and etc.[/background][/font]
[/spoiler][/size]

[hr][spoiler='The Capital: Draszera']
[b]Draszera is situated right in the center of the country[/b] and is perhaps one of the greatest wonders of the world. It is city floating above an abyss, chained down from flying away by massive chain supports, big enough to support large highways on top of them, and the chains are guarded at all times. The city is crowned by a massive glass tower, as wide as a small city, which is the nation's Capitol building.

The current Presidential Monarch is Ix Dravian, whose family has held the spot since the country was founded.

[spoiler='Kurellia']
Kurellia is a poverty stricken town in a mountain valley in the southwest corner of the country. It is actually built on top of an ancient metropolis and the town hall is a refurnished ancient palace. It is the last of the three [b]State Capitals[/b].

[spoiler='People In The RP']
1. Me (AixDivadis)
[spoiler='2. SunKistRebellion']Name: Elijah Stern
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Appearance: Wears a long, camel-hair brown trenchcoat, hands almost constantly in his pockets. On his head he wears a light, metallic gray fedora in the style of old-timey gangsters, which covers up the dirty blonde, slicked-back locks under it. Underneath the outer layer of his coat is a dark, metallic gray suit with pinstripes the same color as his hat. His accompanying black shoes have a remarkable sheen. As far as build goes, he's not a huge man, but he is very square in build, meaning he has a wide, stocky build. He is incredibly strong, due to the fact that he works out quite a bit. Most of his muscle is unassuming, however, due to the fact that he is head-to-toe covered nearly all the time. Though his hands are in his pockets, he doesn't carry any weapon of any kind. He does have a holster on his belt, but all it holds is his deck. On his left hand, he wears a stark white, boldface watch that transforms into his duel disk.
Personality: Elijah, who prefers to be called just 'E', is a firm believer in the philosophy of 'actions speak louder than words'. While he enjoys a good verbal exchange, he much prefers to do things. This could mean working with his hands or fighting or going somewhere or fighting or dueling or fighting. Did I mention he likes to beat people up? There is a reason for that in the bio. E loves to trash talk his opponents during the fight (or duel, as it may be). Behind all the aggressive actions, there is actually a kind man who cares deeply for orphans and outcasts (again, bio). While he loves to fight, he would never intentionally mortally wound anyone because he has a wonderful appreciation for life. He enjoys most forms of friendly competition and as such, if someone is in a conflict with him and they challenge him to some form of this, he will often forgive them and forget the situation every happened at all. Overall, he is a generally pretty upbeat person, but his sarcasm and aggression mask his inner somberness and feelings of rejection.
Bio: A young Elijah Stern lived in the Spiral City slums peacefully and, despite poverty, contentedly. One day, his parents were brutally massacred in front of his eyes by the Torsione family mafia's hitmen. When the incident had passed, he just sat there in the street, dumbfounded at what had just happened. Was it all just a dream? A terrible, awful, impossible nightmare? No. It was very real. One of the shooters locked eyes with young Elijah and smiled at him. The boy became furious and charged the gunman, who attempted to hit the boy with the butt of his gun but to no avail. Elijah sidestepped the blow, launched himself off the car and punched the man as hard as he could on the side of the man's head, hitting him in the temple. The gunman went unconscious.
As he stood over the man, panting, the door of the car opened and out of it stepped a flashily-dressed man with a mustache and a charismatic smile. Elijah recognized the man from his demeanor and dress. He had heard the man's name around the slums before. So he said it, "Vincent Torsione." The man laughed at the young boy's matter-of-fact-ness when stating his name. The mob boss admired the boy and his surprising instinctual fighting ability. He gave the child an ultimatum, come with him or die. Elijah lived.
He was raised, nay, bred to be in the business. The Torsione's taught him to fight and Vincent treated him as his own son, since all the children he had was a lone daughter, Marie. However, no matter how hard anyone in the family tried, they could never get E to kill anyone. He wouldn't even hold a gun. As an alternative, he was forced to become a brutal hand-to-hand intimidator, in the style of old-timey amateur fighters looking for money. If they ever drove past an orphan, E would force the driver to stop the car, get out and go buy the kid a good meal before giving them his number. He knew what it was like. In his free time, he liked to spend time with Marie. She was nicer, gentler than this world by which he was surrounded. She admired his heart, despite some of the terrible things he had done. Marie was a professional duelist, as it turns out, and partially to help him kill the time, partially to gain a common interest, he let her teach him how to duel. He got very good as time went on but could never defeat Marie.
One day, he was out on the job and couldn't bring himself to kill a target. He refused, thinking nothing of it. Upon returning to Vince's household he was berated by a vehement Vince, bleeding from two wounds on his right arm. The man that E didn't finish off began a blood feud with the Torsione family and killed Vince's wife, Madeline. Mr. Torsione kicked Elijah out on the streets, "Where you belong!" he said. After that, E made his way by competing in underground duels for money. He still helped orphans he saw at every opportunity that came. Seeing his purity of heart and generosity, an old man invited him into his shop one day and went into the back. E tensed up, he didn't like not seeing people around him. When the old man returned, he gave Elijah a bundle vaguely in the shape of a rectangular prism. The shopkeeper told E he had been waiting for someone worthy to come along and receive such a gift. When Elijah tried to refuse, the old man smiled. Before he knew it, E was on the street, holding a new deck. He picked up the first card and read it, "E-Star Commander Hare. Hm." Shortly thereafter, he began to duel with his new deck. He was nearly untouchable in the underground dueling world.
Eventually, he heard of a man named Christopher Mason and all of the wonderful things he had done for the underprivileged and rejected of society. Then, he heard of the danger the man was currently facing. Unsatisfied with his current existence and deciding he could help, he traveled to Polar City and waited in the front office for an opening to meet with the man. He knew that Mr. Mason could use a man of E's talents.

Alignment: ChristMas[/spoiler]
[spoiler='3. Piercer of the Heavens']Name: Valerie Vaine
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Appearance: Valerie has a hime cut hairstyle. It goes down past her shoulder blades and is a dark red. A black rose hair pin is located on the forward-right side of her head, about 3 inches in length. This rose pin turns into a duel gazer when the middle is pressed. Her eyes are a dark brown, looking black if you don’t look close enough. She is somewhat on the skinny side, but not too skinny to where it looks unattractive. She is also on the short side, about 5’ 4” in height. Her skin tone is a pale skin tone. She wears a white sundress that stops at her knees. The sundress has a tribal rose pattern on the back of it, the color being silver. Her footwear consists of no socks and a pair of black ballerina flats. She also wears a gold bracelet on her right arm, it is chain links and has one rectangular shape(Which would be at the top of her wrist when worn). This rectangle has a rose engraved into it.
Personality: Valerie, although having troubled life recently, is still a bundle of energy. Still the sorrow remains in her, just locked deep within. People have stated that Valerie’s smile has a kind of warmth to it, that just by looking at it their mood is lifted. She usually always has a smile on her face, the only time she doesn’t is when a smile is completely wrong, funeral, sad moments, etc. She also likes to eat, especially meat. She may be skinny, but that is due to her always in a sundress, even in the cold, she goes through fat quickly to stay warm. This also leads her to complain about being hungry as well, since her body is used to a large intake of food. She generally gets along with all people, although she does tend to act weird around people she is attracted to. She starts mumbling, talking nonsense, looking in every direction, blushing, etc.
History/Bio: Valerie was born in Polar Star city. Her mother died while giving birth to her, due to her being ill to start with. She spent her first 5 years of her life living in Polar Star city, until her father and her moved to Spiral City. This wasn't because they miraculously got rich, but because her father was into construction. Spiral City was building things and her father needed money, so he got hired there and stayed with a very nice family of wealthy people.
Due to the size of the project her father and she stayed with the wealthy family for 3 years. The family treated Valerie as one of their own, buying her clothes and whatnot. After her father was done with the construction project they were going to move back to Polar City, but the family made a proposition to him. The family wasn't much of a family, since it was only a wife and husband. To biological reason they were unable to have kids, but always wanted one. So they offered to take care of Valerie for a few more years, until she turned 18. Her father wanted to best for her so he agreed and told Valerie that he would be right back, but he never came back.
At first Valerie got sad, because her father never came back. After while thought she slowly turned back into her bundle of energy. So she had a good life growing up. At the age of 18 her adoptive parents finally told her about her father. She wasn't mad, in fact she felt sad. Her father chose to be alone so she can have a better life. So a few months later she went to Polar Star City, she got the directions to her father from her adoptive parents who were still keeping contact with him. Once she arrived the first thing she did was hug him and apologize. It was because of her that he was living alone. Too bad that he was greatly ill when she got there and died only a few weeks later. So she went back to Spiral City only to find out that they died due to a faulty gas pipe. Within a matter of weeks she lost everyone she had.
Alone she faced the world, but luckily she still had things to remember both her father and her foster parents. Her current deck was her fathers, who would play with friends during his spare time. She also had a gold bracelet from her adoptive family. Now she lives in Polar Star City due to her accepting a job by Dr. Mason.
Deck: Not So Merry Fairy Tale. This deck is of course a custom deck which can be found here. It focuses on switching battle positions of your monsters to activate different effects. Slowly you would gain the advantage until you can overpower your opponent. The main monster is "Sorrow Tale: Warrior Princess" which can manipulate battle positions. As well as just being a deck if the cards are placed in a right order they tell a "Not So Merry Fairy Tale."
Alignment: ChristMas
Misc: Has a crush on Rudolph Sleighford.[/spoiler]
[spoiler='4. Varian Emissary']Name: Grim
Age: 16
Gender: Male
[spoiler='Appearance'][img]http://www.khwiki.net/images/thumb/4/47/Data-Riku_KHREC.png/163px-Data-Riku_KHREC.png[/img][/spoiler]
Personality: Grim used to be very kind, he enjoyed dueling and even taught the children who lived around him dueling and was said to be a good teacher, he was known for being kind with a good sense of humor and a bit of a flirt with more then one girlfriend at a time(he got in trouble more then a few times because of it) and overall was said to be the center of his local community.77
​Now his personality has changed completely after calling himself Grim he became much colder not caring about the feelings of others and will trample on people to get what he wants though to people not in his way he tends to act with indifference, he still has a bit of his flirty nature left but he is more sadistic then before normally using a woman's attraction to him for his advantage.71
While dueling Grim will assault his opponent psychologically and disrupt their strategy to the point where many of his opponent's stop dueling forever, this is especially true if that person has a connection to the ChristMas Charity Corporation which he seems to despise.43
History/Bio: Grim comes from Spiral City, not part of the Spiral but the outer area where people of below middle class live, his only family was his grandfather who raised him. His grandfather worked on the assembly line which didn't make great money but it came with insurance and enough money to raise his grandson so both him and Grim were content. His grandfather was proud of how Grim was a key member of their community and things were good, that is until Christopher Mason and his ChristMas Charity Corporation came into the picture.93
At first people were happy about the gift the charity provided, the poorer people got Duel Disks and Gazer for free and the people that did need to buy them got them for next to nothing. Unfortunately almost all of these people had their lively hood connected to Kaiba Corp one way or another and with these goods flooding the market Kaiba Corp had to make cuts which means many people lost their jobs including Grim's grandfather, without his insurance Grim's grandfather couldn't afford his heart medication he had been taking without Grim knowing and eventually passed away. The already poor areas were devastated and yes people could use their fancy gear to play but many families had to sell their Duel Disks and Gazers to make ends meat. Eventually crime became the only way for most people to survive and Grim changed after his Grandfathers death becoming cold and vowing he'd make Christopher Mason pay changing his name to Grim n order to separate himself from who he used to be for what he'd done and when Kaiba Corp began hiring Duel Assassins he gladly signed up.(Ya I think I made the minimum)
Deck: Grim's deck focus's on rapid summoning and level manipulation so that he can Synchro, Xyz, and Ritual summon his stronger cards. The deck also focus's on disrupting the opponent be reducing their monsters attack defense and levels causing difficulty in bringing out their stronger cards and weakening anything they are able to bring out onto the field. Most of the cards in his extra deck can work as an ace thus giving Grim a lot of flexibility with his strategy.80
Alignment: Kaiba Corp
Misc: Grim really hates ChristMas Charity Corporation he also possess a mysterious card which may help him[/spoiler]

[font=Arial][background=transparent]Name: Christopher Mason[/background][/font]
[font=Arial][background=transparent]Age: 53[/background][/font]
[font=Arial][background=transparent]Gender: Male[/background][/font]
[spoiler='Appearance']
[font=Arial][background=transparent]Dr. Christopher Mason has an average build, he isn’t particularly big, nor small, he isn’t fat, nor skinny. He has generally avoided physical labour and thus doesn’t have much muscle on his frame. Dr. Mason’s brown hair, streaked with some grey and white, is combed and gelled back to completely avoid his forehead. He has a squarish face with light sky-blue blue eyes and soft and somewhat wrinkled features except for his rather rigid hawk-like nose. His brown, and grey, mustache only covers above his mouth, he is otherwise completely clean shaven. [/background][/font]
[font=Arial][background=transparent]Dr. Mason is expertly dressed, somewhat like a businessman, he wears a perfectly tailored brown suit and a white shirt with a solid red tie underneath. He wears a golden Rolex watch which transforms into a his Duel Disk. His gold-framed glasses also serve as dual Duel Gazers.[/background][/font]
[/spoiler]
[spoiler='Personality']
[font=Arial][background=transparent]In public, Dr. Christopher Mason is polite but withdrawn. He smiles and nods at the right times but otherwise stays away from conversation. His expertise in psychology and etiquette prevents him from ever giving offense to anyone. Dr. Mason greatly values his privacy and confides in few people, the only people he really trusts are his chauffeur, Rudolph Sleighford, and his best friend since childhood, Mark Kahuna, a surfer and Duelist as well as the heir to a wealthy family.[/background][/font]
[font=Arial][background=transparent]Christopher Mason appears to be, and is, a very cool and collected person. He accepts everything with a calm, mature indifference, he is patient and kind, he understands people very easily and reacts with compassion and sympathy, though never loses control of his emotion, never cries and never seems to be in great pain either.[/background][/font]
[font=Arial][background=transparent]If one observed very carefully, he would seem slightly detached from the world but nevertheless, it is generally not noticed and Dr. Mason is taken to be a fatherly type of person, despite that he had never had children of his own. Though he seems formal and very slightly strict, he is willing to bend some rules and give leeway where he deems fit in order to help others, whether it is to allow slight delays because he pushed back the deadline for his subordinates when they made honest mistakes and he knows that they won’t do it again or have had problems appear in their life.[/background][/font]
[font=Arial][background=transparent]Dr. Mason’s intellect is not to be underestimated, he is able to formulate schemes and plans as well as see connections where no one else has, which has paved his way to becoming head scientist. But he is not lost within a world of his own, where only he can understand. Christopher Mason can explain the most complex things and make it sound simple.[/background][/font]
[font=Arial][background=transparent]In a Duel, Dr. Mason is simply calm and calculating, he never gives any outward sign of stress and closely observes his opponent’s emotions and mannerisms to get hints of their playstyle and what they would do next. His intelligence has thus far allowed him to win most of his Duels, though he does not Duel very much.[/background][/font]
[font=Arial][background=transparent]All in all, Christopher Mason is a formidable figure well loved by anyone touched by him but secretly feared by his opponents.[/background][/font]
[/spoiler]
[spoiler='Biography']
[font=Arial][background=transparent]Christopher Mason grew up in Spiral City, the only child of an elderly but extremely wealthy and highly influential couple. Thus, he grew up in the highest parts of the Spiral, completely and utterly unaffected by the problems of the poor, he knew nothing of hunger, of coldness nor of discomfort. His childhood was filled with joy and happiness, the best of food and gourmet, any toy he wanted, not a penny spared to make it easy for him. His parents doted on him, their greatest joy was to keep him happy. Despite this, he was not corrupted or spoiled by money and luxury. He focused on his schooling, even though, with the massive amount of money he was to inherit, he would never have the problem of not having enough to live comfortably.[/background][/font]
[font=Arial][background=transparent]It wasn’t until he was sixteen did he ever visit the living areas outside of the Spiral. He was utterly disgusted and horrified by what he saw and donated plenty to charity at first, before realizing that half the charities were corrupt and no matter how much he donated, he would not be able to truly affect them all, thus he concentrated back to his studies, seeking a way to help everyone.[/background][/font]
[font=Arial][background=transparent]He never actually did find the miraculous way to help absolutely everyone but he got much into the technological side, knowing that with the complete advance of technology, the world would be able to achieve a utopian state. Eventually, he was hired by [/background][/font][/size][font=Arial][size=3]DuelTech[/size][/font][size=3][font=Arial][background=transparent], a free-lance sort of technology development lab affiliated with Kaiba Corp. Within a year, he had risen through their ranks and became Head Scientist. Being in DuelTech, he got into Dueling and found it quite exhilarating and fun.[/background][/font]
[font=Arial][background=transparent]A private hobby of his was archaeology and history of the world. He may have gone into it if not for his dream of helping others, however, he did dabble plenty into the affairs of archaeological societies. He funded the expedition to the North and that was when the mausoleum was discovered. With the card “Santa Claus” and the lab’s new technology to manifest Duel Spirits, he founded the ChristMas Charity Corporation dedicated to helping the poor but at the same time earning the enmity of his former employers.[/background][/font]

[font=Arial][background=transparent]Age: 20[/background][/font]
[font=Arial][background=transparent]Gender: Male[/background][/font]
[spoiler='Appearance']
[font=Arial][background=transparent]Rudolph Sleighford is a handsome slick-looking guy, someone you would often mistake for a delinquent and playboy(which he once was). He is tall, lean and somewhat mean-looking, thin but very well toned and muscular. He has short spiky brown hair, slightly longer at the back. His eyes are a deep, very dark umber (Asian eye color) and seem to pierce you. His features are smooth but defined, his nose has a slight red tinge. Like his boss, he wears a perfectly tailored brown suit with a red tie and white shirt, his Rolex watch transforms into a Duel Disk. He doesn’t wear glasses so instead, he has a jagged, sharp-looking brown and red Duel Gazer.[/background][/font]
[/spoiler]
[spoiler='Personality']
[font=Arial][background=transparent]Rudolph was once mean-tempered and rude, but it changed as he was taken in and educated by Dr. Mason. Now, he’s cool and gangster-like, somewhat like his mentor, but he has a menacing aura and he is fiercely loyal to his boss. His stride is confident and has a badass type of flair. His driving is crazy but he is talented enough to avoid all accidents.[/background][/font]
[font=Arial][background=transparent]Rudolph has a nice sense of humor and is popular with people. He has a natural charisma and is well-liked by others despite his lack of proper manners and wildness.[/background][/font]
[font=Arial][background=transparent]In a Duel, Rudolph shows his cocky side, he can’t help but insult his opponents despite Dr. Mason’s disapproval. He is flashy and likes to shout out his victory. But, it is apparent that he would do anything to help his master.[/background][/font]

[font=Arial][background=transparent]Rudolph was once the boss of a gang in the slums of Spiral City. He was an extremely strong fighter and only occasionally used his head to think before he acted. He was impulsive but lead his gang to victories and gained a significant territory. One day, he stepped outside his bounds and was beaten by a many times bigger gang. He was saved by the intervention of Dr. Mason and considered himself forever in the doctor’s debt.[/background][/font]
[font=Arial][background=transparent]Dr. Mason took him in and got private tutors to educate him before he was going to set Rudolph free, but Rudolph pleaded to be allowed to stay with him and to work for him. Dr. Mason was reluctant at first but relented at Rudolph’s earnestness and enthusiasm.[/background][/font]

Name: Elizabeth Kaizer
Age: 19

Exactly as pictured, she is a petite little girl.[/spoiler]
[spoiler='Personality']Elizabeth Kaizer, usually called Ellie, is outwardly timid and very refined. Speaks when only she deems necessary and tends to ignore people she believes is beneath her, which means most people. She is naturally confident and very regal, she speaks with a sense of haughtiness but is very polite when she decides to speak (as I mentioned before, she only speaks to people who are close to her level). It is almost as if she was raised as a princess, and perhaps she was, though there are no princesses in this country (maybe she comes from another country). Ellie is not used to discomfort or harsh conditions, but she is too proud to complain and has a superiority complex (you probably guessed from what I've described of her so far), believing that anything anyone else can accomplish, she can accomplish as well.
In a Duel, Elizabeth only speaks to announce what she is doing or to insult her opponent when she feels that they have insulted her, and when she does so, she avoids all vulgar-ness.[/spoiler]

[font=Arial][background=transparent]Name: Muramasa Kaiba[/background][/font]
[font=Arial][background=transparent]Age: 30[/background][/font]
[font=Arial][background=transparent]Gender: Male[/background][/font]
[spoiler='Appearance']
[font=Arial][background=transparent]Muramasa Kaiba, despite seeming quite slim, is extremely physically strong, well muscled and exudes a powerful, oppressive and threatening aura. He has blood red eyes and incite utter terror in anyone he looks at. His facial features are slim and angular, rather pointed, but he is dreadfully handsome, though no one dares approach him or flirt with him. His hair is a dark purple and pulled back, his hairstyle is similar to Lucius Malfoy’s.[/background][/font]
[font=Arial][background=transparent]Muramasa wears a pitch black trench coat reminiscent from the GX era (with the circle thingies) with the zipper undone, revealing the grey shirt he has underneath. His pants are a very dark grey, though not as dark as his trench coat, and he has pitch black boots. His high-tech watch transforms into his Duel Disk and his Duel looks like a dark, dark purple spike or animal horn with a circle for his eye.[/background][/font]
[/spoiler]
[spoiler='Personality']
[font=Arial][background=transparent]Muramasa Kaiba’s personality is very much like his ancestor’s (in case you, for some reason, cannot figure who I’m referring to: I’m referring to Seto Kaiba, Yugi’s rival in the original series), he is rude and mean, but he has more style and flair than his ancestor was during the original series, of course, due to the fact that he is older and more mature. He talks to everyone, except his family, with utter contempt and constantly makes his subordinates feel uncomfortable and scared.[/background][/font]
[font=Arial][background=transparent]Muramasa is the kind of person that would never admit defeat nor bite back his pride. He is cold and calculative but his pride is his downfall, he refuses to fight dirty, always overkilling whatever he is doing and showing off as much as possible. He is overconfident as no one can quite match the power, money or influence of the Kaiba family.[/background][/font]
[font=Arial][background=transparent]To him, people are nothing. People are tools, people are pawns, people are expendable. He has never paused to think about those who serve him, instead brainwashing them with fear and intimidation.[/background][/font]
[font=Arial][background=transparent]In a Duel, he announces what he is doing with pride and constantly insults, though he isn’t stupid enough to reveal any of his strategy to his opponent.[/background][/font]
[/spoiler]
[spoiler='Biography']
[font=Arial][background=transparent]The upbringing of a member of the Kaiba Family involves completely instilling you with the fact of your superiority to others. Others are trash, is a simple version of the family motto. But a member of the Kaiba Family will treat others in his family with due respect as equals. The Kaiba Family knows that intelligence is important and Muramasa spent most of his childhood studying business and strategy. He was often overshadowed by his elder brother, Gin Kaiba, but eventually almost caught up through sheer effort.[/background][/font]
[font=Arial][background=transparent]Dueling was his passion and also a partial family profession. You were not deemed worthy unless you are in a position within the Top 3 Duelists.[/background][/font]
[font=Arial][background=transparent]He inherited the position as the head of Kaiba Corp only five years ago, at the age of 25 (still quite young for a CEO, I must say) and greatly enjoys his position of power.[/background][/font]

[spoiler='App']
Name: Elijah Stern
Age: 28
Gender: Male

Appearance: Wears a long, camel-hair brown trenchcoat, hands almost constantly in his pockets. On his head he wears a light, metallic gray fedora in the style of old-timey gangsters, which covers up the dirty blonde, slicked-back locks under it. Underneath the outer layer of his coat is a dark, metallic gray suit with pinstripes the same color as his hat. His accompanying black shoes have a remarkable sheen. As far as build goes, he's not a huge man, but he is very square in build, meaning he has a wide, stocky build. He is incredibly strong, due to the fact that he works out quite a bit. Most of his muscle is unassuming, however, due to the fact that he is head-to-toe covered nearly all the time. Though his hands are in his pockets, he doesn't carry any weapon of any kind. He does have a holster on his belt, but all it holds is his deck. On his left hand, he wears a stark white, boldface watch that transforms into his duel disk.

Personality: Elijah, who prefers to be called just 'E', is a firm believer in the philosophy of 'actions speak louder than words'. While he enjoys a good verbal exchange, he much prefers to do things. This could mean working with his hands or fighting or going somewhere or fighting or dueling or fighting. Did I mention he likes to beat people up? There is a reason for that in the bio. E loves to trash talk his opponents during the fight (or duel, as it may be). Behind all the aggressive actions, there is actually a kind man who cares deeply for orphans and outcasts (again, bio). While he loves to fight, he would never intentionally mortally wound anyone because he has a wonderful appreciation for life. He enjoys most forms of friendly competition and as such, if someone is in a conflict with him and they challenge him to some form of this, he will often forgive them and forget the situation every happened at all. Overall, he is a generally pretty upbeat person, but his sarcasm and aggression mask his inner somberness and feelings of rejection.

Bio: A young Elijah Stern lived in the Spiral City slums peacefully and, despite poverty, contentedly. One day, his parents were brutally massacred in front of his eyes by the Torsione family mafia's hitmen. When the incident had passed, he just sat there in the street, dumbfounded at what had just happened. Was it all just a dream? A terrible, awful, impossible nightmare? No. It was very real. One of the shooters locked eyes with young Elijah and smiled at him. The boy became furious and charged the gunman, who attempted to hit the boy with the butt of his gun but to no avail. Elijah sidestepped the blow, launched himself off the car and punched the man as hard as he could on the side of the man's head, hitting him in the temple. The gunman went unconscious.

As he stood over the man, panting, the door of the car opened and out of it stepped a flashily-dressed man with a mustache and a charismatic smile. Elijah recognized the man from his demeanor and dress. He had heard the man's name around the slums before. So he said it, "Vincent Torsione." The man laughed at the young boy's matter-of-fact-ness when stating his name. The mob boss admired the boy and his surprising instinctual fighting ability. He gave the child an ultimatum, come with him or die. Elijah lived.

He was raised, nay, bred to be in the business. The Torsione's taught him to fight and Vincent treated him as his own son, since all the children he had was a lone daughter, Marie. However, no matter how hard anyone in the family tried, they could never get E to kill anyone. He wouldn't even hold a gun. As an alternative, he was forced to become a brutal hand-to-hand intimidator, in the style of old-timey amateur fighters looking for money. If they ever drove past an orphan, E would force the driver to stop the car, get out and go buy the kid a good meal before giving them his number. He knew what it was like. In his free time, he liked to spend time with Marie. She was nicer, gentler than this world by which he was surrounded. She admired his heart, despite some of the terrible things he had done. Marie was a professional duelist, as it turns out, and partially to help him kill the time, partially to gain a common interest, he let her teach him how to duel. He got very good as time went on but could never defeat Marie.

One day, he was out on the job and couldn't bring himself to kill a target. He refused, thinking nothing of it. Upon returning to Vince's household he was berated by a vehement Vince, bleeding from two wounds on his right arm. The man that E didn't finish off began a blood feud with the Torsione family and killed Vince's wife, Madeline. Mr. Torsione kicked Elijah out on the streets, "Where you belong!" he said. After that, E made his way by competing in underground duels for money. He still helped orphans he saw at every opportunity that came. Seeing his purity of heart and generosity, an old man invited him into his shop one day and went into the back. E tensed up, he didn't like not seeing people around him. When the old man returned, he gave Elijah a bundle vaguely in the shape of a rectangular prism. The shopkeeper told E he had been waiting for someone worthy to come along and receive such a gift. When Elijah tried to refuse, the old man smiled. Before he knew it, E was on the street, holding a new deck. He picked up the first card and read it, "E-Star Commander Hare. Hm." Shortly thereafter, he began to duel with his new deck. He was nearly untouchable in the underground dueling world.

Eventually, he heard of a man named Christopher Mason and all of the wonderful things he had done for the underprivileged and rejected of society. Then, he heard of the danger the man was currently facing. Unsatisfied with his current existence and deciding he could help, he traveled to Polar City and waited in the front office for an opening to meet with the man. He knew that Mr. Mason could use a man of E's talents.

What did my bunny ever do to you!??!!?

[Piercer of the Heavens]

I'll reserve if I may.

[SunKistRebelution]

Anything you'd specifically like to reserve, P.o.t.H.?

[Aix]

Yay! More people! But the plot requires more than that, I shall continue waiting.

[Aix]

Please, everyone, if you are not going to make an app just yet, please come here and tell me to reserve a spot on the RP. (space isn't exactly limited, but I would like to know how many people may be interested)

[Piercer of the Heavens]

Well my app is going to probably be up today or tomorrow. It's just that I've been working, very slowly for some reason, on my characters deck(yes it is a custom one).

[Barian Warlord]

I'm considering joining but I have 1 problem isn't ChristMas Charity Corporation the bad guy here, aren't they putting a bunch of people out of business and at next to know cost any donations they get just g into their own pockets also they are using tech Kaiba Corp owns to make their toys, any tech Mason made in the employ of Kiba Corp would belong to the company so why didn't they just sue him? Ya I can see how what Kaiba Corp is doing is bad but will happen to all their employees when they go bankrupt. Finally those three evil cards are kinda coming out of nowhere shouldn't you be using some thing out of the Santa myth like Crampus or maybe some Halloween themed character but I am still thinking about joining.

[Aix]

Hm... good question... Is ChristMas Charity Corporation bad? Kaiba Corp is supposed to be your traditional, stereotypical, big, bad, greedy Mega-Corporation... but... your thoughts have merit... I guess I'll have to change something here (nothing really plot related though).

After Edit: Thanks for pointing that out, also, now Kaiba Corp's motivation seems bigger as Dr. Mason sort of but not exactly stole it from them and they want it as well as wanting punishment for Dr. Mason's impudence (at least that's how Muramasa Kaiba sees it). He stole it from his own corporation, but DuelTech doesn't care, they were thinking about scrapping the idea anyway because of its danger.

As for the Divine Trinity coming out of nowhere? *evil grin* You'll see how they fit in later... (the connection won't really be obvious until the grand finale)

[Barian Warlord]

Okay if you need to bounce any plot ideas off of someone give me a PM, also reserve a Halloween themed Grimm archetype for me please.

[Devack]

may i reserve me one spot

[Master Fury]

Can I reserve a spot? Preferably on the Christmas corporation side?

[Aix]

Yes, yes both of you can. I would prefer more people on the ChristMas side anyway.

[Azphreal]

Eh, reserve me a spot. Probably a Duel Assassin.

Also, just wondering, are we allowed custom cards? Most say no, but there are a few RPs that you can.

@Varian_Emissary: Your deck sounds horrifying. Your description makes it literally seem (in my imagination, of course) like each Monster has a dominating effect for each aspect of the game. A reverse cliche, actually, in this instance. It sounds like a Jack of no trades, Master of all of them. This idea scares the bejeezus out of me. I can't wait to get a look-see.

[b]Name:[/b] Valerie Vaine

[b]Age:[/b] 19

[b]Gender:[/b] Female

[b]Appearance:[/b] Valerie has a hime cut hairstyle. It goes down past her shoulder blades and is a dark red. A black rose hair pin is located on the forward-right side of her head, about 3 inches in length. This rose pin turns into a duel gazer when the middle is pressed. Her eyes are a dark brown, looking black if you don’t look close enough. She is somewhat on the skinny side, but not too skinny to where it looks unattractive. She is also on the short side, about 5’ 4” in height. Her skin tone is a pale skin tone. She wears a white sundress that stops at her knees. The sundress has a tribal rose pattern on the back of it, the color being silver. Her footwear consists of no socks and a pair of black ballerina flats. She also wears a gold bracelet on her right arm, it is chain links and has one rectangular shape(Which would be at the top of her wrist when worn). This rectangle has a rose engraved into it.

[b]Personality:[/b] Valerie, although having troubled life recently, is still a bundle of energy. Still the sorrow remains in her, just locked deep within. People have stated that Valerie’s smile has a kind of warmth to it, that just by looking at it their mood is lifted. She usually always has a smile on her face, the only time she doesn’t is when a smile is completely wrong, funeral, sad moments, etc. She also likes to eat, especially meat. She may be skinny, but that is due to her always in a sundress, even in the cold, she goes through fat quickly to stay warm. This also leads her to complain about being hungry as well, since her body is used to a large intake of food. She generally gets along with all people, although she does tend to act weird around people she is attracted to. She starts mumbling, talking nonsense, looking in every direction, blushing, etc.

[b]History/Bio:[/b] Valerie was born in Polar Star city. Her mother died while giving birth to her, due to her being ill to start with. She spent her first 5 years of her life living in Polar Star city, until her father and her moved to Spiral City. This wasn't because they miraculously got rich, but because her father was into construction. Spiral City was building things and her father needed money, so he got hired there and stayed with a very nice family of wealthy people.

Due to the size of the project her father and she stayed with the wealthy family for 3 years. The family treated Valerie as one of their own, buying her clothes and whatnot. After her father was done with the construction project they were going to move back to Polar City, but the family made a proposition to him. The family wasn't much of a family, since it was only a wife and husband. To biological reason they were unable to have kids, but always wanted one. So they offered to take care of Valerie for a few more years, until she turned 18. Her father wanted to best for her so he agreed and told Valerie that he would be right back, but he never came back.

At first Valerie got sad, because her father never came back. After while thought she slowly turned back into her bundle of energy. So she had a good life growing up. At the age of 18 her adoptive parents finally told her about her father. She wasn't mad, in fact she felt sad. Her father chose to be alone so she can have a better life. So a few months later she went to Polar Star City, she got the directions to her father from her adoptive parents who were still keeping contact with him. Once she arrived the first thing she did was hug him and apologize. It was because of her that he was living alone. Too bad that he was greatly ill when she got there and died only a few weeks later. So she went back to Spiral City only to find out that they died due to a faulty gas pipe. Within a matter of weeks she lost everyone she had.

Alone she faced the world, but luckily she still had things to remember both her father and her foster parents. Her current deck was her fathers, who would play with friends during his spare time. She also had a gold bracelet from her adoptive family. Now she lives in Polar Star City due to her accepting a job by Dr. Mason.

[b]Deck: [/b]Not So Merry Fairy Tale. This deck is of course a custom deck which can be found [url="http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/292670-not-so-merry-fairy-taleset/"]here[/url]. It focuses on switching battle positions of your monsters to activate different effects. Slowly you would gain the advantage until you can overpower your opponent. The main monster is "Sorrow Tale: Warrior Princess" which can manipulate battle positions. As well as just being a deck if the cards are placed in a right order they tell a "Not So Merry Fairy Tale."
