World's Greatest Detective
42-42-564, whenever you want to knock on Death's Door.
The Death Weapon Meister Academy. Popularly known as the DWMA. It is an institution to train weapons and meisters, established by Death, to prevent Kishin, the demon gods who plunged the entire world into the depths of terror, drove people into a maelstrom of madness, and nearly destroyed everything from ever being born again. The gist of it is, it's an organization of justice, to keep the peace. Both a supernatural police force and an academy for budding Meisters and Demon Weapons.
The school was founded by the one and only Lord Death, the literal shinigami and founder of Death City, his soul rooted into the metropolis after defeating the Kishin Asura many years prior. Since then, the city has blossomed around him and the DWMA, giving the students there- a collection of preteens and teens from around the world- a beautiful environment to learn the necessary skills of defending the world from evil in.
Unfortunately, nothing is that simple. The Kishin Asura, while trapped in a bag of his own skin, is not dead. It takes much more than that to kill him. All he needs is a little push, and the world will be engulfed in Madness, in fear, in despair.
But the EAT Class- the group of teenagers that sit in the top 10% as the Especially Advantaged Talent class- aren't going to just sit by and let that happen.
Who will win the fight? That's up to you to find out.
Setting
Your character will be a student at the Death Weapon Meister Academy in Death City, Nevada, in particular a student in the E.A.T. class. What reason you're there- your intellect, your speed, your strength, your soul, or your overall badassery- is irrelevant. You're there, and you're thus given the duties to hunt down Kishin eggs and witches, along with others that threaten the peace, as well as complete class at the DWMA.
You'll be fighting all sorts of creeps and bleeps of various shapes and sizes, and as this is just as character-driven as it is badass-partner-fight-scene driven, you'll be changing- both physically (lost limbs? you never know) and emotionally.
Rules and Regulations
Once a real thread gets up (maybe I should say "if" a real thread gets up- i'm not optimistic), I'll add a more detailed list on all the specifications for character creation, but for now, I'll just post the basic rules.
I. Know Some Soul Eater
I don't need you to have seen the anime a bajillion times and read all the manga. But at least have a basic idea of Soul Eater and its universe. I'm more than willing to help explain anything that you need clarified, but I'm not willing to go through the whole universe. If you haven't seen it, consider checking out some episodes before coming back.
II. Be Able To Roleplay
You don't have to be a writing god or a BBCode whiz. Hell, if you can't write more than 2 paragraphs at a time before getting agita, that's fine too. But you should be able to go for AT LEAST 1-2 paragraphs (hopefully, more will just flow out), and know about godmodding and power-playing and how that's BAD. big no-no. don't do that.
III. Stay Alive
I know y'all are busy with real life, so I'm giving you tons of leeway with this (as I always do). Don't take that for granted. If i give you a warning and you continue to drag the RP behind, you will be booted without notice and replaced immediately. Don't be that guy. I'm yet to boot somebody for inactivity, and I don't want to, but I will.
IV. Grammar is key
I also happen to know that not everybody on RPN is an English major. A solid chunk aren't even native English, for all I know. I'm more than willing to compromise with minor mistakes- I don't even capitalize half of my sentences when I'm typing OOC myself, so I'm no stranger to that. But if ur p osts stert to read l8k thiis consastently, I will remove you.
V. Don't be a jerk
You know, if I rag on you for the above, it's no hard feelings or anything, I'm just trying to make the RP go along smoothly. But I will not tolerate any childish behavior, including unwarranted and rude behavior towards others, whether IC or OOC. If I sense this, you will be removed. If you have a problem with somebody else, please immediately speak to me.
And if you feel like I'M being insensitive, please talk to me about that. I only want the best for everybody and I know I'm not perfect.
VI. Don't be God
When I say this, it's not in the sense of godmodding, but with you making stuff up that dramatically changes the storyline. If you have any input to the story and lore, talk to me. I'm sure I'd love to hear what you have to say.
VII. Keep it safe
By this, I mean no bad stuff, especially in the romance category. As a very slice-of-life heavy RP, there will be relationships explored throughout it, but please keep in PG-13. These are teens, I'm not getting arrested for any of your shenanigans lol. The same goes for violence- there will be plenty of blood and gore, but no extensive descriptions of that please. Some people are sensitive to that (see rule V).
Thank you for reading all the way down here. If you're interested, drop a post below and make sure you watch the thread! Thanks!

The DWMA
A massive building and beautiful work of architecture, the DWMA is the centerpiece of the city. Maintained by funds from around the world thanks to its international reach and power, the school is rather luxurious. A large building full of classrooms, it also includes dormitories and all the facilities of a normal school, but rented apartments are available throughout the city. The DWMA provides a weekly $200 "allowance" to DWMA students, but unfortunately high-schoolers have difficulty preserving that money throughout the week (especially with inflation lol) so many DWMA students take jobs after-school and during the weekends.
Deathbucks Cafe
Much like Starbucks but with more death, the cafe serves quality coffee brewed by the master. Students regard the cafe as a meeting place of sorts, a small joint where they can get a cup of joe and hang out after classes have finished.
Death Robbins and 42 Ice Cream
Much like Baskin Robbins but with more death (and one more flavor), Death Robbins proudly serves 42 incredible ice cream flavors with rather low prices.
Deathstaurant
A posh French restaurant and an excellent place to ask somebody to a date to, the Deathstaurant has prices high enough to blow through a weekly allowance in one meal, but makes up for that with its quality food.
Death Square
Right down the road from the DWMA, the Death Square is a nice open space for hanging out and enjoying the sun. It leads into several small marketplaces, like the Death Bazaar and the Death Pain Square.
And Much More
Death City holds everything a city would need. Casinos (it is near Las Vegas after all), bars, movie theaters, playhouses, as well as courts for games such as basketball, soccer, and a community pool, and even an airport are located in the city.
