The Return: Rumble - Round 4, mod needs to write scene moar.

The Return


They have arrived.


It is just as I suspected; it has finally happened. Quite frankly, I'm surprised it hasn't occurred sooner than now. Our efforts, while valiant and tireless, just aren't enough for something of this magnitude. We prepared for this day, even though we knew it unlikely we would see the next. Not all is lost, however; I have made a wondrous discovery. It may be the very thing that will ensure our success. I haven't the time to say much, but rest assured I have already taken the necessary steps.


___________________________________________________


The bell rang. Finally! Swinging your backpack over your shoulder, you hurry out of the door to vacate the building. Falling drops of water greet you as you make your escape from hell. Dark clouds cover the sky, as in the last several days. It seemed like winter was coming to an end, giving way to early April showers. Umbrellas serve as shields as the students quickly sought shelter from the deluge, you included. It's only a few minutes until you reach home, surprisingly dry. Dumping the excess weight, you move inside, moving to your usual routine. Something caught your eye.

What was this...? It was a letter, addressed to you from a name you didn't recognize. Some Professor, apparently. Curious, you quickly tore the envelope open and exposed two sheets of paper. Removing the first and looking at it revealed it to be a list of names in alphabetical order. Your name is included, you notice. Why is that? Who are these other people? You don't recognize any of the other names. One bout of explanation seeking later and a second dive into the ripped envelope gives you your answer.

Apparently, you sent in some kind of application and it was handpicked by the same person who sent the letter in the first place. The text describes an event that you are to attend, calling it a 'once in a lifetime opportunity'. The application itself is included at the bottom. You look at it, entirely unfamiliar to you. It's odd, though. You swear you would have given the exact same answers.

You marveled over the document in your hands. You couldn't even recall even the slightest sign that you had ever filled this out and the supposedly famous person that handpicked you was a complete blank to your mind. Despite what your brain told you couldn't possibly be, it couldn't possibly not be, either. Your eyes scanned the list of questions and the answers given once again, more carefully this time. This was either the biggest coincidence ever, or you had written this yourself; these were the only solutions you could think of.

Still puzzled, you memorized the date. Like hell you were going to miss this!

Game Rules


01: This is a game. Having fun is a requirement.
02: I am never wrong. Unless, of course, reality has warped, making me wrong. Please point this out to me so that I may kick reality’s ass.
03: Currently, there is no out-of-thread communication. Contact me if you need to talk to someone and I’ll try to whip something up. This rule is subject to change.
04: If you have any questions, ask them. You can send me a PM, or ask in-thread.

Sign-Ups


To sign up, you must complete and submit the following application to me via PM. I will look over it and add your name to the list.

The Application Name: (Last, First)
Gender: (Male/Female)
Birthday: (MM/DD)

1. What is your favorite color? Why?

2. What is your favorite animal? Why?

3. What is your least favorite thing? Why?

4. What do you want more than anything else in the world?

5. What is most important to you?

6. What is your greatest fear?

7. Choose one: Red, Blue, Green, White, or Black

8. Choose another one: Red, Blue, Green, White, or Black

9. Remove one: Red, Blue, Green, White or Black

10. Subsilver, mafSepia, or mafTigers?


Game Details


The mechanics of this game will be very similar to Natural Selection and Kingdom Keepers. The game will progress in story/narrative form. Battles will function like a Rumble game and your position within each will be a direct result of your submitted actions. Like NS and KK, your answers to the submitted application, as well as PMs to follow, will determine your initial abilities, which will change based on actions within the game.

Depending on the current situation within the plot, all players may be taking part in a single Rumble, and then at times the group may be divided into two or more Rumbles. This will change as the plot advances. Each player will be in one, and only one of them. Each player will receive a PM detailing any powers they have for that Rumble as well as the appropriate flavor to explain the battle. Each Rumble will have its own thread, which will be locked. Those threads will only be posted in by me. I will post the results of each round, and you will submit your actions to me by PM. Player names will never be revealed, only character names. As always, in-thread posting is allowed in the main thread (this one).

Major credit goes out to both kloud1516 and Cybele.

If you'd like to, you can send in descriptions of your characters. Physical characteristics and the such, even into personality if you like. It would be helpful for flavor and also gives me more PMs to make my database from.

That was chenhsi in KK... but i don't think it's him this time.
Why not? Though, I didn't use the same character name for this one, but I still would be kind of surprised if somebody named someone Sakura Matserugi. (Well ok, maybe a little flattered.)

I would try to guess, but honestly... I suck at it. I'm more of the tactician type really. Feel free to try to get mine though.
