Angel Beats: A Journey Through Fate

The dictionary defines the word limbo as:

1. A region on the border of hell or heaven, serving as the abode after death of unbaptized infants and of the righteous who died before the coming of Christ.
2. A place or state of oblivion to which persons or things regarded as being relegated when cast aside, forgotten, past, or out of date.
3. An intermediate, transitional, or midway state or place.
4. A place or state or imprisonment or confinement.

We, on the other hand, call it home. It's a place where those of us with unfinished business in the world go to finally be at peace. When you find your calling-- your reason for not being at rest-- and finally come to terms with it, you move on. You just disappear-- get obliterated, as we refer to it-- and never come back. You've finally moved on, leaving the rest of us here in the in-between. Some of us have been here for a long time, others just brief periods. There are a few like myself that choose not to move on. We do everything in our power to keep from being erased. We don't try hard, we don't cooperate with the NPC's, and we most certainly don't try to think about our lives before this place. If that happens, well...I've already told you that much.

***********​

Welcome to the in-between, a world where the dead whom aren't ready to die belong. Anything can happen to them here-- it's just like the world of the living, but with a twist. Those that die in this world don't stay dead. They "return to life" after a brief period of unconsciousness. It's filled with people and things referred to as: NPC's, that are generated by this world. They don't actually feel, they don't actually exist. They are just nameless, faceless, robot-like beings present to help the departed reach their final destination--wherever that may be.
The "monsters" of this world try a little harder than the humans. They are supposed to be a way of scaring the dead into wanting to move on. If you get captured by them, you become an NPC yourself. Never moving on, never looking forward. You enter the mundane routine of living a hallow life, going through the motions. Those that refuse to move on are aware of this danger, but risk it anyway. They want to continue living happy lives, even if it's not with the ones they loved most.
New relationships are developed in this world, and are a necessity to both survive and be obliterated. Which will you choose??

​

All original credit to this RP goes to the creators of Angel Beats. It's a great series, we highly recommend you watch it! However, it is an original series as well. There will be no characters from the storyline, even if some of the extras do seems to sound similar. It will not give any spoilers away either. The only thing being used from the series is the setting, and the NPC's. There will be the black ghostly looking NPC's and the humanoid soulless drones. With that being said, ENJOY!
The story takes place in a realm of limbo. Your character is dead, but has not yet moved on. It will be up to you to make them do one of three things: a) figure out their purpose and get obliterated, b) refuse to try and remain in the limbo world for as long as possible, or c) get consumed by the black ghost NPC's and become an NPC as well. As an NPC you have no control over anything.

Rules:​

1. Some characters must move on for the purpose of the plot. We have some extras set aside to help develop the storyline, but some of you will have to lose your character
2. If your character does move on or gets consumed by an NPC, you can most definitely make another one. People die all the time after all.
3. Not every death is tragic or even traumatic, so don't get over the top with your BIO. Some people die and there is just something out there keeping them from moving on. Not everyone and their mother was murdered by some serial killer whom is still at large.
4. This is crucial! If you wan't to leave the rp for whatever reason, let us know and then you can either do it or we will have your character get obliterated and move on. If you are just randomly gone for an extended period of time, then your character will get consumed by an NPC and have the horrifying experience of becoming one as well. They will not move on, they will become an empty shell not remembering who or what they are. It will be especially hard on everyone else's characters having to watch one of their friends be resorted to a husk of a person. Please say something!
5. Myst and Hyuge of GM's! You must listen to us both. We will be guiding you along on this spiritual journey.
6. Your character can not die of normal means. The only way your character dies is by getting obliterated or consumed. If you get shot, you reawaken after a short period of time. No one dies permanently.
7. Regular forum rules apply -i.e language, violence, sexual content- be mature
8. You may have up to two characters! Feel free to create more as your other ones get obliterated. =]
9. Last but not least; have fun. We've worked hard and hope you enjoy this! We sure will. ;~]
