Death, it's a fact of life. People are born, then they die, that's it. But, here in Shibuya, when some people die, they wake up in the UnderGround, invisible and intangible to living people in the RealGround. They're now Players in The Reapers' Game. They have 7 days; if they lose, they're gone for good. But, if they complete the missions and survive the Reapers out to erase them, they'll have the chance to come back to life. But the Reapers aren't there to make it easy.

NOTICE: CO-GM WANTED, APPLY VIA AN INBOX
So, this is an RP for a Reapers' Game from "The World Ends With You". Any messy little details can be found by playing the game, but I'll give a basic overview
Players: They died, now they're in The Game and playing to come back. Each Player has to give up the one thing they care most about as an entry fee. Players must make a pact and become partners with another to be able to fight, no-one will last long without a partner.
Reapers: The main opponents to the Players. Reapers exist in two varieties, Support: Placing and Clearing walls and such, and Harriers: Directly antagonising Players to prevent them from clearing the missions. Reapers are considerably stronger than Players, and so aren't allowed to attack them directly, instead they must attack with Noise. (All roleplayed Reapers are Harriers)
Noise: "Monsters" of sorts that Reapers use to attack players, they generally take the form of animals and come in two general types. Ambient Noise that spawn from negative emotions of people in the RealGround, this variety will attack players who haven't formed a pact, but will stop once one is formed. Reapers can also summon Attack Noise to attack Players.
Missions: The Game Master will distribute these via text message every day, only one pair of partners must clear the mission within the time limit, if no-one does, ALL Players are erased. Game over. (Don't worry, I won't enforce any actual time limit, it's purely for immersion purposes).
The Player Pin: A special pin given to all Players when they start The Game. It allows Players to scan the area for Noise and can read the thoughts of anyone who is not a Player or Reaper.

- All standard BMGf rules apply
- No bunnying/godmodding/etc.
- Try to keep active, no-one likes it when an RP dies out.
- Keep it PG-13
- You MUST sign up for a Player, you may also sign up for a Reaper too
- Reaper Slots are limited to 4 maximum, in addition to one for me and the Co-GM should they wish it.
- Spots can be reserved, but Reaper reservations must have their corresponding SU submitted within 48 hours MAXIMUM. Reaper reservations not made good on WILL BE REVOKED
- Corollary: If we get more interest than I expected, more Reaper slots will become available, the plan is to have roughly half the number of Players.
- If you're a Reaper, don't just go around attacking Players willy-nilly. The RP will get no-where fast if everyone is always trying to beat off Reapers rather than clear the missions.
- Once the Start Ups have been posted SUs will be closed
- To prove that you've read these, insert this phrase somewhere into your SU: "The proof is in the pudding... The pudding, of their DOOM"

Age: (13-30) (Reapers have a greatly extended lifespan and so hardly age at all. For Reapers, this section is their physical age)
Gender:
Appearance:
Backstory: Do they live in Shibuya? Did they just happen to die here? How did they die? If you're intending to reveal it over the course of the RP, feel free to say so. Reapers also have lives outside of The Game in the RealGround, what is it?
Personality:
Entry Fee (Players Only): What was the thing they cherished most? Examples in the video game included memories, one's appearance, one's relationship with someone else (they knew they existed, but they couldn't put a name, face, or personality to the memory)
Pins (Players only): Players fight using Psychs, gained by wearing pins into battle. Each Player can only use a maximum of 3 pins. The minimum requirement is telling us what they do, but you can also give the pin a title, and describe or add an image of the pin art. No need to use pins from the actual game, make some up if you want (the Player Pin is assumed).
Preferred Noise types (Reapers Only): What kind of Noise the Reaper tends to summon to attack Players. You can have up to two varieties, use ones from the game or come up with your own. Don't forget to tell us how the Noise fights.

Reaper Positions;
Name: Connor Wilson
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Appearance: Green eyes, black hair with blue tips, kept messy. Typically seen wearing a headband, cargo shorts, a black hoodie, and black shoes with a flame pattern.
Backstory: Originally from America, he moved to Japan 5 years ago, where a chain of events led to him becoming a Reaper. His RealGround life is somewhat bland in all honesty, he works checkouts at Cadoi City's Mus Rattus outlet.
Personality: He may be a Reaper, out to erase Players for good, but that doesn't mean he has to be a jerk about it, he has to do it or die. He tends to make conversation with Players before sicking Noise on them. He tends to be rather upbeat and even jolly most of the time. He does turn aggressive when he perceives an insult however.
Preferred Noise types: Wolf type Noise (quick charging attacks with its claws and fangs), and Kitsune type Noise (deceptive shapeshifters who confuse their foes before attacking).

Name: Naoki Sakurai
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Appearance: Naoki has a very childlike appearance even for a young teen, something which greatly annoys her. She is short, just around 5 feet tall. She has shoulder-length blue hair and large green eyes, and overall has a very innocent look about her. She usually wears sundresses in bright colors with lace trim or sleeves, and a matching headband, as well as sandals.
Backstory: Naoki died after accidentally falling from a building she'd been trying to climb in an attempt to prove her bravery to some older classmates. She eventually became a Reaper rather than going back to her old life, but she's still treated like a child by most other Reapers, to her irritation.
Personality: Despite wanting to be treated like an adult, Naoki really is pretty childish. She sweet-talks players and acts friendly towards them, but she will get mad and summon Noise to attack them if they brush her off or don't take her seriously. She's a bit unpopular among other Reapers thanks to her immaturity.
Preferred Noise types (Reapers Only): Frog Noise (jumping/kicking attacks and bubbles). Annoyingly, she summons them in swarms so that they pose more of a danger than they normally would.

Backstory: He lives with his parents in Shibuya. He remembers dying after being hit by a car... But he jumped out in front of it... But he wasn't suicidal... It's almost like he was trying to save... Someone...
Personality: He loves to read. His favourite novel is "The Reaper's Game" by Neku Sakuraba, to the extent that he always keeps a copy on him. He tends to be knid of anti-social, since he gets nervous around people. He genuinely wants to make friends, but he's always afraid he'd screw up.
Entry Fee: To be revealed
Pins: Beehive: Forms a barrier to protect himself and his partner
, Link Chain: Summons chains to ensnare the opponent

Name: Seki Kurogawa
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Appearance: Seki looks like a typical raver or club kid, with long dyed red hair, sleeve tattoos, and blue eyes that are usually hidden behind mirror shades. He died wearing a blue tank top under a black fishnet shirt, ripped silver-colored jeans, and scuffed gray boots. He also has a pair of large headphones typically worn around his neck. He is average height for a male his age, around 5'10", and slightly muscular. Both his ears are pierced once in the lobe and he wears faux diamond studs in them.
Backstory: His memories of his life are fuzzy currently, but he knows that he lived in a neighborhood near Shibuya and frequently hit up the area for its shops and clubs. He was always hotheaded and picking fights over little things, like someone bumping him and spilling his drink. Seki gets the feeling that there was someone he cared about very much here, but he can't remember who they were or what they were like, and part of him thinks that he might not really want to remember. He can't remember exactly how or why he died, but he definitely remembers a fight shortly before the fact, just not who it was with or what it was about.
Personality: Seki is very hotheaded and snarky, and it's really easy to tick him off enough to start a fistfight. He shrugs off most attempts people make to get close to them, instead driving them away by making sarcastic remarks at their expense. Deep down, he knows that he acts this way because he's been hurt before and is afraid of being hurt again, but thanks to his memories getting scrambled by dying, he doesn't remember who hurt him or why it left such a mark.
Entry Fee (Players Only): Some of Seki's key life experiences are missing from his memory right now, including relationships and events that shaped his current personality. He knows that these must be cherished memories, since they were his entry fee, but he has a certainty that many of them were also painful and isn't sure why he should want them back so much if that is the case.
Pins (Players only): Sexy D (Throws obstacles like signs around to inflict damage), Lightning Moon (Creates an electrical charge that revolves around him), Blink Step (He becomes invisible and impervious to damage for a few steps)
