BACKGROUND INFORMATION: HOW IT HAPPENED
It all happened so fast.
One minute we were all just casually watching the Black Parade that goes on every year in our town. I watched as the masked Jesters danced down the street, leading all the floats.
But then I saw a float I didn't recognize.
It was grayish and devil-looking. And eight men with long nosed masks were on it. Their eyes were hidden under heavy cloaks along with the rest of their bodies.
And I could've sworn that one of them was looking right at me.
Then, a moment later, seven of the cloaked men got off of the float as it came to a stop. They mingled into the crowd, and the weirdest thing was nobody other than me noticed them. I saw a guy on the other side of the street look confused at them, but other than that, no one I could see.
The man was heading for me.
I tried to push further back into the crowd, but it was too late; he had me by the collar.
I tried screaming for someone to help me, but it was as if I wasn't even there. All their attention was focused on the floats passing by.
I couldn't understand it all. Why didn't they see me getting abducted by this freak?!
As he pulled me back to his float, I saw six other people getting dragged to it, too. What were we all for?
The man that had remained on the float opened a secret door under the gargoyle statue on the float, and the others threw us in.
The locked the door back saying "Don't try to get out". I backed up into the corner and wrapped my arms around my knees as I looked at the others. I didn't dare speak a word. In fact, I don't believe any one of us did.
After about an hour or two, the float came to a crashing stop. We heard the men walking around on the top of it, and one man unlocked the door again. He pulled us all out with ease and shoved us onto the road.
I looked at what seemed like a run-down carnival with a broken sign saying "Welcome to Masque Carnivalia". I felt my heart sink as the men shoved us into the badly beaten place.
There were big chained doors that blocked the entrance of the place, and as soon as we were pushed into the circus, they quickly locked it back.
The seven of us rushed to the door, banging on it yelling for them to let us out.
But the men remained silent.
When we finally gave up on escaping, the tallest man stepped forward. "You have been chosen to experience what it's like being both Pokemon and human. You will no longer feel what its like being normal. Not for a while, at least."
He took a step back as a more heavy-set man took his place. "You Carnies will stay here until you have deemed yourself worthy of being normal. But for now, you're going to be abnormal."
The eight men all held out their pale hands and chanted a song, "Chains of glory, chains of shame. You shall never be the same. Go into the twilight when sunlight is gone, change into your element and your demons begone. Fire and Water, Grass and Rock, Psychic and Fighting and Ghost. Become one with the Pokemon spirit and relive your life!"
We all began to glow.
I felt my ears disappear as two large furry triangles came from my temples. I clenched my fists in pain as a blue, jagged tail come from the end of my spine. My hair seemed to grow a little, too.
As the light coming from our bodies faded, we were all changed. I looked at the others and they looked at the other others. But then our attention was focused on the screeching of tires.
The float and all the cloaked males were gone.
All that remained were us Carnies and our new, strange bodies.
This is our story of survival in Masque Carnivalia.
------------------------
Now, basically this Roleplay is about Carnies, humans with Pokemon-like characteristics. The biggie about Carnies is that they can use Pokemon techniques. So, with their given element, the seven must survive using their new skills and bodies.
*Some rules to remember...
1) Use good Roleplaying etiquette. Therefore, don't Mary-Sue, no godmodding, etc.
2) Don't try to make a real plot here. Other than survival, there really isn't a plot at all. I expect it to stay that way.
3) As for elements, don't be part this AND part that. You get one element and that's it.
4) Also keep in mind that each element was meant for one singular person. So if someone's already Grass, you can't be it, too.
5) Each post you make should be AT LEAST one paragraph consisting of 5-8 sentences. No less than that.
6) And overall, just have FUN, for the sake of cake. Don't be constantly rude to everyone! Branch out and be at least a bit social with the other members! So on that note, you can't isolate yourself from others the entire time. You can have those moments now and then, but honestly, get out there and have some fun!
Now then, here's the form to fill out:
*Note: Please keep bolded parts bolded.
Name: (simple)
Gender: (again simple)
Age: (yet again, simple)
Element: (choose from Water, Fire, Grass, Psychic, Ghost, Fighting and Rock)
Pokemon reference: (basically the Pokemon your appearance and extra abilities are based upon)
Appearance: (I'd like it to be at least 2 sentences or more)
Personality: (I'd like it to be at least 3 sentences or more)
Writing sample: (I want to see how you guys type. It doesn't have to be a whole dang book.)
---
Here's mine for an example---
Name: Celest Backwater
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Element: Fighting (Sorry, guys, but I'm taking it)
Pokemon reference: Lucario
Appearance: Celest has ivory skin and stands at 5'4. Upon becoming a Carnie, she has long navy blue hair that goes to her waist. Her eyes become a crimson shade, and two fairly noticeable blue ears with black insides are on her temples. She has a pearly spike on each hand. There is also a blue tail coming from the bottom of her back.
Wears black stretchy pants that are too long, a skin tight black turtle-neck sweater with a bronze button-up vest and red Converse hightops.
Personality: Celest is a shy person who has a low self-esteem. She doesn't think of herself as very much, and constantly hurts herself for not being good enough. She usually has a passive face unless she's sad, and rarely shows anger toward others. She doesn't smile very much.
Writing sample: I wrote all of this, did I not? That's good enough.
*Be sure to check the latest post whenever it's all filled up! I plan to post some important notes and such for the Roleplay itself! :D
