DISCLAIMER: This RP is based on a video game called The World Ends With You.
Quote:
There was an accident. Perhaps you were shot. Maybe you were hit by a car. You might have even fallen down several flights of stairs. Regardless of how it happened, you perished.

You awoke, intact, in a room filled with blinding white light. A shadowy figure appeared before you with a proposition: Play a seven-day Game to earn a second chance at life. Of course, you accepted, seeing that refusal to play meant oblivion. Only after you agreed were you informed that playing this Game required you to pay an entry fee, the thing that was most dear to you. This fee was anything such as an object, an aspect of yourself, or even a person. You were informed that if you win, you would regain your entry fee. If you lose the Game, however, you would lose your entry fee, along with your right to exist.

The room began slipping away, and you could tell that you were being transported somewhere else. As you faded, the figure stuffed a number of pins (otherwise known as lapel pins, or buttons) into your pocket, saying, "You'll need these. Oh, and find a partner. You'll need one of those too."

After that strange incident, you find yourself face-planted on the floor of an American mall.
Quote:
After standing up and looking around, you get a text message. There is no number, and it simply says, "Reach Hot Topic. You have 60 minutes. Fail and be erased. -Sincerely, The Reapers."


This is a recent instance of the Game that has opened up in the town of Norman, Oklahoma, and is being held at the Sooner Mall. Being new, there are only a handful of Reapers to run the Game, that had to be moved in from other instances of the Game, and an Angel had to be demoted to oversee it.

Indeed, the Game, just starting out, will run slowly. Instead of the standard schedule of seven consecutive days, the Game will take place over the course of seven weeks, one day a week.

Of course, as each session of the Game concludes, more people will begin playing, and more winners will defect to the side of the Reapers...

You could at least say this is based off The World Ends with You.

Yeah, alright.

Besides technical stuff like that, is there anything I REALLY need to work on?

I was thinking of making a TWEWY based RP, but couldn't think of any good way to represent the pins properly. If you find something good for that, I'll probably join.

I suppose it's an interesting concept, although everything is entirely the same as the game. This is less of an RP based on it, and more of simply TWEWY with your own character. I'm not sure how comprehensive that last sentence was, but what I mean is that I would be more interested should you take the idea of the Reapers' game and apply it to your own world, adding your own twist to it. Otherwise, I may as well just go play TWEWY.

Set it up somewhere else, and change the objective. Keep the TWEWY idea of the Reaper's Game, but instead of Shibuya, try a different city. Mix the story up a little bit, rather than just the old seven days + tasks idea - we did three of those in the game.
That's my two cents.

Added and edited.

It's alright to necropost if you make a meaningful contribution to the thread, correct? Especially if it it's your own thread?


I beleive Ihave addressed almost all the issues, I think I just need to add the actual game mechanics next...

Looks like it could be interesting, but I haven't played too awfully much of TWEWY yet so I can't do much to help spring up ideas
