Welcome to Gaia! ::

A quiet town, one most of the world is ignorant of, where everything seems quiet, safe, perfect. A week before summer vacation, however, everything changes. Three students commit suicide, hanging themselves in the halls of the local high school. The walls are stained with their blood, magic circles and ancient runes are painted on the ground, also in blood.
The media called it a "tragedy", and it shook the very foundations of the town. However, what they didn't know about the magic circles, the runes, were they were a curse, on the whole town. A plague of death passes over the town, as more and more students commit suicide. Some call it the end of the world, the Rapture, and in the midst of all this, a body is found, not of a victim of suicide, but of murder. Beaten to death with a small stone, the word, "Sinner" is painted in his blood next to his body, and then the next week, there is another murder.
This is all the result of this curse, on that haunts the town. As the crazed killer runs loose in town, the people who've managed to keep relative sanity remain, attempt to continue with their lives, but soon the curse will take hold of them as well. Paranoia, personal demons, all of them will set in, and take hold, and in this world, anyone can kill anyone...

Basically the idea is that in this rp, everyone's capable of killing someone, but in order to kill someone you must:

1. Have a relationship with them, friends, close aquaintances, loves, family

2. Reach a certain point, have a reason for killing them. You can't just kill someone because you're bored. Maybe they disagree with you over something little, or maybe they broke your heart? Maybe you hate eachother and it's a long time coming.

3. Make the kill interesting. There are many, many ways to kill eachother. I encourage torture, alot of torture, be it physical or psycholgical.

The storyline will go in chapters, but the chapters will be determined by what happened in the last chapter, as in I will be reviewing the major changes in characters, how they relate, and such, as well as having one event that will always be sort of the background for the chapters, and provide more ways to kill(as in, the Amusement park's open... Rollercoasters anyone?). The chapter won't change until at least one person has been killed. There are no police to catch you, and anyone who's investigating these murders will have to do so with their own descretion, because simply interacting with another character means you accept the chance that you will be killed.

Humans, with non-human things allowed as say pets, or creatures considered lower in society. I'm limiting it to animal eared/tailed things, and perhaps anthros, but they'll mostly be as slaves. Of course, they can go off the rocker just as easily.

No powers, however. I want the kills to be realistic, and magicking someone to death just isn't in the mood of the rp. I will, however, allow some instances of occult rituals and such, but the effects will have to be run by me first.

Other than the animal eared creatures, no, because magical creatures would unbalance it, since they have "powers" that no one else will have. Think of this like resident evil, you've got guns and such, and your enemies aren't paranormal, they're actually other people.

This is rather interesting... when does it begin?
