| Jaakuna Ishi
"Evil Will" 邪悪な意志 - Prologue:
Prologue
A tall thin man stood in the alley between the wall and the passing subway train. There were many windows the slipped by in a line of yellow, quicker than lightning it seemed. The train disappeared and another one at a much slower pace stopped at the dock. It's doors slid open, a black-headed man stepping out from it. He wore a long gray jacket and black pants, a scarf around his neck. He had soft blue eyes and pale skin. He carried in his right hand a black case. He approached the man along the wall, who was smoking a cigaret. This second man wore a brown hoodie and his face was barely visible, save for his nose and chin which were tapped by the light. Some brown hair scattered out as bangs into the light.
"You brought it?" asked the brown-hooded man in a hushed voice. The approaching man nodded. The two came to their sides and passed the case behind their backs, both leaning up against the wall. As it came into the grasp of the man in the brown hoodie, he gave a gaze down at his feet. "I won't let that b*stard get it," he said in a low croaky voice.
"Good," said the man in the jacket. "I just want this over with, just get rid of that thing before anything else happens."
"It'll be gone within the day." The jacketed man nodded and gave him a long side-glance. The man in the hoodie looked at him cautiously, his face becoming move visible in the light. "Kaito?"
"Moe..." Kaito began. He rested his head back against the wall, closing his eyes and sighing. His distress was very obvious from the bags under his eyes and the puffiness of his eyelids. "I'm sorry I got you involved in this."
"It's not your fault," Moe said willingly. "Just be the one to get me out of it." Kaito nodded Moe looked at his wristwatch briefly and then puffed some smoke out of his mouth. Kaito was silent for several long moments pondering what to say next. There was an awkwardness, but at the same time a closeness that couldn't get any closer. It was almost as if they were family. Moe continued to puff smoke from his mouth while Kaito watched the train roll by. Things were quiet. Odd. Eerie. People passed by and hopped on and off the trains and a few policemen walked by, not suspecting anything from the two of them. But finally a figure got off of one of the trains that stopped. It was seemingly male and wore a white hoodie with a hood concealing his face. He had baggy blue jeans that tossed down to his ankles and skinny black boots. He walked calmly and almost sadly, with an emotionless and dazed look to him.
"Gah," Moe grunted. "I'd better go. Thanks again, Kaito." Moe then departed and began moving down the alley, away from Kaito and slipping from sight. The black jacketed man gave a slow glance to Kaito and as his gaze held it seemed that the world pushed in slow motion. The young man left and Kaito was by himself. Alone. Meanwhile, Moe dashed madly through empty alleyways and ran as quickly as he could. He stopped and simply walked fast when someone occasionally walked by, but as they vanished he took off. He finally tripped in his mad sprint and fell on his face. The black case slid out from his grasp along the concrete tiled floor. He crawled out to take it back but something stopped him. A big black foot kicked the side of the case, sliding it in a spin across the ground. The partnering foot rounded and greeted Moe's face. He tried to pick himself up but the cost was too much. He heard someone grumbling above him.
"I thought you'd be smarter, Moe," said the voice. As he wiped the blood from his face and lifted his head up, in a blur, he saw a hand scoop up the case from across the room. He couldn't make out the figure's face, only that it didn't look like one he had seen before. At least, he thought so. The figure delivered another kick, this time sending Moe into his back. Moe reached into his pocket, searching for his pocket knife, but the figure stepped on his arm and grabbed the knife from his hand, taking it for their own.
"Get out of here you little prick!" yelled Moe.
"Shhhh, shh, shh, shh. We don't want anyone to hear," said the voice in a low tone. "I have to say I expected better of you. I sincerely hope this is a decoy, actually. If not it'll just make you look stupid." Moe tried to stand, hearing the case open and the sound of jingling metal. He felt a punch in the throat that knocked him off his feet. Another struck his face. His vision was blurred and his head throbbed to the point that he could barely stand it. A ringing in his ears distorted his hearing and he felt blood coming from his nose and mouth. His eye already felt heavy from the second punch. He felt a cold hand grasp his shirt and drag him up to the eye level of the figure. The dangled the simple black key in front of his face. "This," the figure said, waving the key around teasingly, "Is mine. Don't you forget that."
"Please, just let me go--"
"Don't say my name," said the figure. "Don't say it. I told you. Remember last time we met?"
"Don't remind me, just let me go," said Moe. There was a moment of silence and Moe's senses recovered only slightly, enough to see the figure's big brown eyes. "Just kill me if you're going to do it!" Moe roared. The figure tightened its grip on him and shook him a bit.
"When are you going to learn that I'm not the bad guy? I'm trying to stop you! Stop all of this before it gets out of control, don't you see that?" the figure hissed. Moe did not respond until he was dropped to the ground and felt his head smash against the concrete. He let out a loud yell of pain and finally felt a hand grab his ankle and begin to drag his body across the floor.
IntroductionWelcome to Evil Will, a dark anime themed RP taking place in a chain of areas in Japan. We won't bother naming them as we'll constantly be on the move and I don't think it's crucial to know the exact locations. If we name any specific locations at all, they'll be made up, unless they're big cities like Tokyo that obviously need named. Now before we begin, there are a few things you need to know. The "Game" and It's RulesThere is a collection of objects in which our story will revolve around. What are these objects? They're very simple, easily concealed, unsuspecting items. Jet black in color, they're keys. Keys to what? Doors. At least, we know that much. The keys are said to be highly unnatural by those who have used them. When they are used to unlock a door, that door instantly becomes a gateway into another dimension. A portal to another world. There is so much that is unknown about this world. Some people use the keys as a means of transportation. They slip through one door and are given the ability to come out of any other door in the world. But there is a limit: the door they choose to come out of must be unlocked. Some people disappear into the gateway and are gone for long periods of time. They emerge as something different. Their senses are sharpened, their reflexes are quicker, they even have odd "sixth senses". Some of them have developed the power to speak telepathically with those they are close with, and the recipients of these messages gain the same ability as well. However, some odd and unique powers also emerge, but they are far more rare. There are a few things that can go wrong. Several defects. The user of the keys will have a gradually increasing desire to repeatedly use them and often for their own gain. The user may have difficulty navigating socially and will experience odd mood swings. The user may also take a chance of never ever returning from the doors. The Rules1. The basics. No godmodding, Powerplay, Mary-Suing, etc. 2. No killing other characters without the owner's permission. 3. All unique powers gained by prolonged use of the Fate Keys must be approved of by me. These powers will usually be only one single thing, not multiple abilities. I may make a few rare exceptions but those will usually only be for characters that have large roles. 4. Mature themes such as drugs, alcohol, swearing, and sex are allowed. That being said, there are limits. When using curse words, be sure to use the * symbol in appropriate places in the word(s). Do not overuse curse words in dialogue or I will retract this. Do not overuse sexual topics. They are allowed, but use common sense and fade to black and we should be fine. Excessive gore is allowed, description is encouraged due to the dark nature I wish to take with this RP. However, you don't need to take up an entire paragraph describing a cut or scratch (unless there's symbolic or emotional meaning to it, in which case by all means continue). 5. All other forum guidelines apply. 6. Mary-Suing is STRICTLY prohibited. All characters will change, unless they have small roles and aren't important. Those are the only ones I'll make exceptions for. But the characters that actually matter and help further the plot must be dynamic. That means they change emotionally and mentally throughout the story. 7. Autoing is prohibited. Do not attack someone and define the damage of said attack. Allow them to define the damage. At the same time, they should not make their character seem invincible and not feel pain. If someone gets shot, they had better act like someone who just got shot. 8. Type "Open" somewhere in your sheet. 9. "Evil" characters are allowed. But they have to be realistic, have realistic motives, and realistic thoughts and actions. No cliche stuff. 10. This is a suggestion rather than a requirement. In order to keep that special anime feel, I'd prefer that you use Japanese names for your characters. They don't have to be elaborate or some huge jumble of letters. An example would be my female character: Naoki. Or one of my male characters: Kaito. If you need help, there are lots of lists you can find by Googling (or whatever engine you use) "Japanese names" or "Japanese baby names". Have fun. 11. Your character cannot take possession of any of the Fate Keys (for an extended amount of time. For example, grabbing it and tossing it to another character doesn't count for this) without my permission. - Character Sheet Template:

His skin is somewhat pale and he has big emerald eyes. He has thin cheeks and a skinny neck, a somewhat bony body structure. He has a soft, deep voice, sometimes seen as monotone. He usually wears anything that's comfortable to him, usually a t-shirt and jeans with tennis shoes and white socks. Nothing special. He usually carries a pocket knife in his right pocket and a cell phone in his left. There's usually a notepad in his back pocket and some pens and pencils stuffed in whatever pocket will hold then.
Bio/History: Kaito lived in the city as a child, but after his parents both died of drug overdoses he was sent to live with his grandparents at age nine. His grandpa died in a fiery car accident when he was 13. From there on he was a quiet, socially awkward boy who suffered depression during his teens and required mild medication treatment.

| Okay, here's my character. I don't know why it took so long to write, but it did. Also, I found an anime-character designer thing that I used to make the portrait.
Name: Chikako Kurotori Age: 18 Gender: Female
Height: 5’6” (Metric 167.6 cm)
Weight: 101lbs. (Metric 45.8 kg)
Personality: Chikako is generally marked by a typical quiet demeanor, being so silent that one may forget that she is present in a room. As a loner, she seldom approaches others first to engage in conversation, and whatever conversations she holds are brief and to-the-point. She generally does not tell jokes, engage in grandiose behavior, or enjoy horseplay, and for the most part, her face is fixed in a near-permanent neutral expression, neither smiling nor frowning. This has led to her being described with inhuman terms such as being cold-blooded, reptilian, or robotic in nature. In many occasions, the way in which she carries out her routines reinforces this image. She does not appear to be bothered by it, despite the negative connotations that it carries.
Chikako is actually extremely clever and calculating, having a diagnosed form of high-functioning autism/Asperger’s Syndrome (Hence the aforementioned behaviors), and classified as ‘moderately gifted’ with an IQ score of 142. Because she does not often speak to people, her thoughts are typically directed inward in a form of self-reflection, or diverted towards more efficient or meaningful tasks. This results in any work she does being of an exceptional quality, and she was accepted as an undergraduate into a university without hesitation. As a full-time student, she aims to obtain an associate’s degree, and somehow procure a scholarship to a better school in the United States, where she will then work towards a bachelor’s degree, or further. Because she can easily focus on single subjects, her major of choice has already been narrowed down to mechanical or electrical engineering.
In regards to Chikako’s habit of self-reflection, she is very wise, poetic, creative, and imaginative, despite the general description of people with her mentality (Although the majority of those diagnosed with it are male, and females are generally more adaptive and capable of overcoming their shortcomings). She is fully aware of her own shortcomings, and easily recognizes the faults in others. Although somewhat less inclined to social behavior, Chikako is fully capable of behaving like a regular person, and merely chooses not to talk to people unless they address her first. She generally keeps an aura of humility about herself, not trying to draw any sort of attention. Her typical quiet demeanor does not mean she is passive, however. She can be quite aggressive when she needs to be, and is vocal about her views, should a decision affect her, or cause her to lose any sort of opportunities that she would like to claim for herself. She may receive a negative reputation among males, because she is not afraid to outclass or compete with them and win; she may aggravate them further because she does not brag about her achievements, and therefore, it seems that she does not see her victories as anything of major importance. She additionally will do more than a bare minimum, partially because she requires something to occupy her time, and also because it should eventually result in something positive.
Dealing with friendships, Chikako is actually a person who enjoys having friends, although she does not need many to be satisfied. It should also be noted that trying to be her friend is an incredible test of patience, and she generally does not place much effort into obtaining one herself. Most of the people who become her friends are those she is forced to engage in regular contact with, or those who approach her first, without doing something that immediately ruins her impression of them (This is an easy thing to do). Those that do become her friends, though, while generally being held at arm’s length (As she rarely betrays any inner thoughts or feelings), are lucky to have an ally that is incredibly loyal and reliable, often helping them before they realize that they themselves have a problem (As Chikako is actually rather intuitive regarding most things, but usually ignores the problems of strangers). Usually, no matter how much a friend embarrasses Chikako, she will continue to loyally help them in a selfless manner.
Chikako’s friendship, though, while generally a kind that endures for a long time with many benefits, does have a few things that can rapidly ruin it. If a friend of Chikako’s betrays her, or dismisses something that they are aware she strongly cares about, especially in cases where they ignore it for selfish or foolish reasons (even more so if they make a weak excuse when there is none, as she hates excuses), it could irreversibly damage her impression of that person. Her friendships also fade with time, if she does not have regular contact with a person, or if their maturity level does not match her own. In the end, Chikako, while willing to be friendly, does so only on her own terms.
A final aspect of Chikako that should never be forgotten is her incredible devotion to logic and sound courses of action. She will not tolerate any sort of nonsense, nor will she needlessly engage in something dangerous if it can be avoided. She is wise enough to acknowledge that no matter how skilled or strong she is, she is human, and thus has mortal limits. This aspect of her personality might mark her as a coward if she flees from conflict, although in the end, it is born from the desire of self-preservation. It is possible, however, that as her empathy could be diminished (As she actually learned it, and did not originally have it), she might do something cruel, if she feels forced.
In Japanese, Chikako’s use of pronouns is generally unusual compared to most people. She often refers to herself as ‘watakushi’ around superiors or strangers, a highly-formal, yet polite or old-fashioned way of saying ‘I’ in Japanese that is gender non-specific, and generally not used except during certain special occasions. Around those she is close with, however, she has the bizarre tendency to refer to herself as ‘washi’, typically a pronoun used by old men. She uses regular pronouns to say ‘you’ around others in typical settings, but around close friends or family, she has a tendency of using archaic or old-fashioned pronouns, suggesting that she carefully watches her tongue around strangers.
Appearance:
Bio/History: Chikako’s background is not what one would regard as ‘troubled’, but it was not exactly perfect, either. Born with a mentality that caused her to develop heightened intelligence at the cost of basic social skills, Chikako was typically alienated by other children, even at a very young age. She failed to understand sarcasm, and took everything, including figures of speech or jokes, as their literal meanings. She additionally felt highly uneasy making eye contact, and any attempts at approaching others were painfully awkward. Because she would not look at her teachers, many of those responsible for her education treated her as though she were poorly behaved, or as though she were not paying attention, even though she excelled whenever questions were asked, and made very good grades.
Because of repeated failure in attempts to gain social acceptance, and the constant rejection by her peers, Chikako eventually grew numb to most people around her, and eventually gave up in trying to make friends or ‘be popular’. She also developed a somewhat icy demeanor regarding the general people or friendships she saw around her, having a viewpoint of the world as though she were on the outside looking in, and therefore, seeing things that others failed to notice. Because of her parents successfully teaching her social skills early-on, Chikako learned to make eye contact and hold proper conversations, as well as how to detect humor and sarcasm, but regardless, was mentally and emotionally affected by the social isolation that was forced onto her by others. She continued to retain a strong belief that the majority of friendships that she had seen were shallow, petty, or selfish, and as a result, behaved in a fashion that suggested she did not want to be approached socially at all.
Because in her family, her mother was a home-maker, and her father the sole-supporter of her household, as well as the fact that her parents hid nothing from her, because of her maturity, and the belief that they could not properly shelter their child from the world, Chikako learned about her family’s finances rather early in life. Although they were not poor, Chikako’s family did not have enough money to afford certain luxuries, and although her father had served in Japan’s military force for a certain number of years, he was not rich or a part of the wealthier middle-class, as everyone appeared to think (hence their apparent beliefs that they could afford certain things, when they actually could not). Chikako’s father had been an enlisted soldier, and not an officer, so therefore, his pay had not been as much, nor did his job that he took afterwards truly give the finances that most of the neighbors possessed. Because of this, while things in the household could be of rather nice quality, and the family had everything it needed (Again, they weren’t poor), in the end, Chikako’s family did not have the money to do the one thing they wanted: Send their daughter to a better school.
Because of this, the only way for Chikako to truly gain a good education was to earn it, and so, her entire life became devoted to studying, in hopes of obtaining a scholarship to an American school, where she would be able to obtain a better job and opportunities. In the end, she decided to stay in Japan a bit longer, where she had managed to procure a full-ride scholarship to a small college, where she could complete her associate’s degree. This, however, is not as satisfactory as she would like, and although not far along into her first-ever college semester, she has already gained a high rank in her class, and although she has won the friendship and support of her professors, she already appears to already be at odds with the majority of other students.
Skills/Talents: Like most people in Japan, Chikako speaks both Japanese and English, and can also effectively read and write in both, although her English is generally very proper and formal in nature. Her devotion to education, however, has yielded further language development, and not only can she additionally read and speak Latin, but she also knows two forms of sign language (Japanese first, English second). In addition to her language skills, Chikako’s skill in artistry allows her to do very detailed drawings, as well as design logos, and properly sketch things she has seen from memory. She also knows how to envision objects in three-dimensional spaces, and has skill in working with engineering software. Other skills tailored to the career field she is pursuing is that she has knowledge of how to properly weld using a MIG, and can also do a bit of basic wiring and programming that could be used to design robots.
Finally, Chikako knows how to play the piano, a musical talent done to pass spare time. Overall, the majority of her talents are of an intellectual or creative nature.
Hobbies: Chikako’s has a unique talent for sketching and painting, both of which have become her main hobbies. Because of this, she may shut herself inside of a room for hours, focusing on a single piece of work, and become aggravated, should anything break her concentration. Other than this, she enjoys reading a great deal, and also prefers peace and quiet to engage in the activity, though she can effectively drown out noise, if need be. Her favorite evenings are typically spent either painting, or curled up somewhere with soft blankets, some hot cocoa (It may be drunk regardless of season or weather) and a good book.
Family: Mother and Father—not maintaining strong contact or ties
Home: Single-resident college dorms for female students at an unnamed technical institute.
Strengths: Above-Average Intelligence, Quick-Thinker, Good at Gathering Information, Speaks and Reads Multiple Languages, Multiple Artistic and Technical Skills, Good Sprinter.
Weaknesses: Lower-than-average resistance to cold temperatures, relatively poor social-skills, severely-lacking physical strength aside from running speed.
Health: Asperger’s Syndrome diagnosis of High-Functioning Autism- IQ of 142, ‘Moderately Gifted’. Reynold’s Phenomenon: Chikako has poor circulation, and therefore has lower resistance to cold and conditions resulting from extreme cold such as frostbite or hypothermia. She is healthy, but cannot skip meals or will become ill due to hunger. She possesses a relatively strong immune system, and does not contract bacterial or viral illnesses easily, but is prone to vertigo or headaches when weather changes (Due to changes in air pressure). She is physically weak and frail, and therefore has a severe lack of strength in all areas save for running. She is a relatively fast sprinter, and has good cardiovascular health, but otherwise, has no capability. | |

| Yay!
Anyway, if you use the maker, and can't figure out how to make your characters male or female, that's decided by the kind of clothing they're wearing, as well as their eye shapes. Girls generally have larger or softer eyes than males do, and I didn't realize until I was making the character how masculine or feminine it can make the character look. When it comes to clothing, most of the shirts and tops available have female and male versions.
Also, you might be subjected to watching a commercial before using the maker, and it has music that gets really annoying because it plays over and over. Otherwise, though, it has very good art and backgrounds, and you can generally make pretty good character templates from it. | |

| Judging from her bio, I'm fairly sure Chikako is going to despise the character I'm making. | |

| My character was initially going to be the headstrong, optimistic, slightly immature guy. Looking back over the themes however, he doesn't seem to fit unless he goes through some serious character development. I could make him more of a prideful douche if that fits better. | |

| I guess that would depend on if the characters already have the keys, or if they get them in the beginning of the story. If that were the case, my character might change hardly any at all, or her personality would darken into something I would regard as highly disturbing and scary. | |

| Since obviously things are gonna go grimdark very quick, I could possibly have my character become more world-weary, mature, depressed and negative as this rp continues. Basically he's gonna be a changed man by the end, I just have to figure out what he starts off as. | |

| However you want them to develop, make a character that you can comfortably play as. | |

| Name: Ryo Yoshida Age: 24 Gender: Female
Height: 5ft 8in Weight: 150 lbs
Appearance: Ryo is young and has long blond-brown hair, usually pulled back in a long pony tail and with sides hanging over her ears and touching her shoulders. Her eyes are a dark brown and she has a birthmark along the bottom of her right eye which is a large brown spot, which many remark as cute. It engulfs the bottom and side of her eye. She has natural toned skin and has a slim figure. She prefers to wear sweaters and turtlenecks in cold weather and t-shirts in hot weather. She is usually seen with big golden loop earrings and a golden necklace with a heart locket on it, which was given to her by her boyfriend, Kaito. Ryo often wears either high heels or simple tennis shoes, it all depends on the occasion.
Personality: Ryo is a very put-together girl, although she wasn't always this way (explained in bio). She often tried hard to look her best, often fearing ill judgment from others and trying to tear away from past ways. Ryo is soft at heart, not likely to make any sort of insult towards anyone unless she's insanely angry. Often if she does something on accident she makes a million apologies afterwards and is constantly afraid that her actions might destroy some balance. She is sweet in the way that makes her truly care for the well being of others, and she often will go out of her way to help them. But this has made her extremely gullible and has led to her being thrown through countless one-sided friendships. When she suspects she is being used though, she will usually begin to gradually break friendships off. A group of friends that constantly changes has brought a shadow of loneliness over her life and gives her huge swings of frustration and distracts her from her everyday activities.
Bio/History: Ryo suffered a tragic childhood. Her mother had died of lung cancer just two years after her birth. She grew up as a middle child, with both an older brother and a younger sister. Her father became very abusive specifically towards her for years after she matured. Bullying at school added to her stress. Disorders like anorexia settled in and she began to starve herself until she was too skinny and weak to provide for herself. She required therapy and was given so. It took about a month for her to be released from the special facility. Returning home, she was greeted with the same treatment as always. Her older brother was soon arrested for attempt at murder, having turned into a barbarian from lack of parental guidance throughout his life. Ryo herself grew shady herself, growing depressed and attempting to commit suicide several times, each time failing. Most attempts consisted of wrist-cutting. Ryo, having no mother or parent to teach her how to dress or act properly, took on many unruly forms. She wore provocative clothing, dyed her hair many gothic colors, obtained piercings in so many places one might think she was made of metal, and wearing gothic makeup. She was also prone to cursing and doing whatever she pleased.
Things changed as she met Kaito Matsumoto. Kaito was a quiet boy with few friends during art school. The two met as Ryo was crying in the local park one weekend, just after receiving the news that her sister had also been arrested for drug use just earlier that day. Kaito's greeting and the comfort he offered in that moment would change her life forever. Almost instantly from that point on a friendship slowly formed. When things intensified a few months later, romantic feelings stirred between the both of them. Ryo, being a highschool drop out, still lived with her abusive father, who now was much harsher with her now that her siblings weren't around to take up for her. He did not approve of Kaito, mainly because he knew that he himself would gain nothing from Kaito, such as drugs or money. Kaito was obviously a well put together boy with a true and innocent heart. Ryo cared not and continuously snuck out in the middle of the night to be with Kaito. Although it did somewhat affect Kaito's performance in school, he got by. By this point he cared so much about Ryo that he didn't care how much it affected his schoolwork. Over the course of their enduring relationship, Kaito taught Ryo many morals and ways to live by. In time she shed her unruly ways, leaving behind her gothic looks and piercings and all of the horrible things that came out of her mouth. She was remade, it seemed. And soon Ryo moved out of her house and into Kaito's apartment. Normally Kaito would think it was inappropriate to live with an unrelated girl, especially a girlfriend and before marriage, but he made this one exception because he couldn't bear her living with her father any longer. The bruises he would see Ryo carrying were enough to crush him emotionally for days on end. In the end, when Kaito knew that Ryo was safe, he called the police and Ryo's father was arrested.
Hobbies: Ryo enjoys shopping, experimenting with clothing and makeup, and loves to read books. She used to be accustomed to romance novels, although she switched to mystery and crime novels after she and Kaito came together.
Family: Father, sister, brother. All of which are in prison.
Home: An apartment she shares with Kaito.
Strengths: Kind hearted, generous, overcoming, brave. Weaknesses: Shy, uncomfortable with public situations, at times overly frustrated or depressed, and afraid of the opinions of others.
Health: Past anorexia, past depression.
