Everything we'll be using may be found here. Aside from the character sheets, which I should link here as well I suppose.Rules:
1. Players are playing as humans. Sorry for people who wanted to be Trolls. If nothing else, take a look at the new canon trolls rule.
2. I know I can't check to make sure, but please, generate your title randomly!
3. Try to play in the spirit of the game, and avoid teamkilling. No sober Gamzee please.
4. This is not grimdark type gaming. Feel free to be silly!
5. If you roll a taken aspect, re-roll your entire title. First come, first serve, and we don't want to double on aspects.
6. If you roll a a class that has been take by two other people, re-roll your entire title. We don't need four knights.
All the spots are taken, but trolls are being accepted! Players have been given a password, and can recruit one (I'm asking for restraint here) troll each.
Some Rules for trolls:
1. No direct interaction with players. Pester them all you like, but you cannot meet them in person. This one might change at my discretion, on a case to case basis.
2: Keep future stuff extremely vague if you do it at all. Please avoid it if possible.
3. Give the password in a chat to me, or no canonity for you!
4: Troll is not the only available species! You can be human, or robot, squid thing, whatever tickles your fancy- If you were invited by one of the players, that is.
Character Sheets:
Your name is ALEXANDER EMMERSON.
You are 13 years old, and a little under-exposed to society at large. You used to live way out in A FOREST in the middle of nowhere, and despite the fact that they can obviously afford a HUGE HOUSE, your parents don't get you much in the way of electric media, aside from a barely there internet connection. You have a fairly short list of enthusiastic INTERESTS, including FANTASY NOVELS, of which you have amassed a hallways worth of bookshelves for, AXE THROWING, despite the fact you misplaced your throwing axekind strife specibus, and a fairly recent interest in PIZZA, which you believe might be ambrosia.
Your pesterchum handle is
apprenticeLumberjack which you believe has a hilarious acronym,
AND YOU SPEAK AT A MUCH HIGHER VOLUME THAN NECESSARY.
For the Maps, red indicates difficult terrain.
You are Steve Jefferson. You are 12 years old, but your birthday is only a few days away. Your house is quite average with the exception of the fact that it is
built into a mountain in the middle of nowhere. You don't even want to know where the power comes from since it might involve magma and volcanoes. When you aren't up on a mountain you participate in EXTREME LIVE ACTION ROLEPLAYING in the nearby forest. You have even gotten into the habit of SELF-NARRATING no matter what is happening. You also dress like a NINJA whenever possible. If no costume is available you've been known to IMPROVISE. Despite the fact that you are aspiring to be a NINJA you are a bit of a loudmouth and the NARRATION doesn't help. You own a TONFA which you use while EXTREME LARPING.

Main Floor
Your name is DANIELLE CARROWS. You really have absolutely no idea how old you are, although you'd guess somewhere between 13 and 15. You've spent your entire life living in a PODUNK HOUSE NEXT TO THE SEWERS, training to be the LEADER OF A GANG. Your GUARD seemed to think about nothing but training, and annoyed you about it constantly before he was done in by one of your VENOMOUS PET SNAKES. Your Pesterchum handle for whenever you get some free time is
ragingLunatic and
you ussssed to ssspeak erratically, but now you guessssss the sssnakesss have been rubbing off on you. And frankly, you don't give a ssshit.
Your name on record in TROY LeSAL
It says here that a few months ago it was your 13th neighborhood. It seems that you live in a nice house in a rather affluent neighborhood living with your beloved PAPA who according to this statement is a PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR. Most suspicious. You have multiple interests (but they need further corroboration) but most relate to HISTORY, INVESTIGATIONS or BASEBALL and a tinge of ANIME. It states in this document that you enjoy CONNECTING THE DOTS AND CLOSING THE CASE with a slight tinge of JUSTICE but mostly you just like seeing things COME TOGETHER. You tend to be a bit strange with your WIDE RANGE OF OBSCURE TOPICS but you open up with your SILLY SIDE once you get to know and trust people.
Your ISP recorded Pesterchum handle is pr00bingAudit00r and you speak with a certain h00ll00w 0r sp00ky t00ne
You are MIKHEAL METAXAS.
You are 14 years old, having only reached the age a few months ago. You have a few interests, including HISTORY, which you are quite the savant in. You like MUSIC, and you mean ALL of the MUSIC. However, you do tend to lean towards ROCK MUSIC, mainly from a Band which name is the same as a CERTAIN MEDIEVAL TORTURE DEVICE. You have received Brutal training from your Father, making you highly ATHELTIC and ACROBATIC. When not trying to catch up on homework you barely have any time to do or being Torutured by your fathers extensive training, you like to screw around and play games with your Friends on the Internet.
Your chumhandle is
greekKiller and you like to talk in a manner
ThaT YoU ThinK MakeS YoU SounD AwesomE.JF's note: I would just like to note that (if you decided you want to read this adventure) Mikheal's character and plot actually went through a lot of changes, ranging from Minor to Huge, during the eariler parts of the adventure. So I do a ton of stupid stuff with him that would be very out of character for him now. I would love to just erase those bits, but thats pretty much impossible. So just keep in mind while reading that Mikheal's personality may seem extremely Bipolar at first.
You are Claire Chang. You are thirteen years old, though your birthday was a couple months ago or so. You are interested in keeping SALTWATER FISH in a tank in your closet. You have a strange fixation on water. Some of your interests include SWIMMING, CODING somewhat well, playing REGULAR OLD CARD GAMES LIKE POKER AND STUFF, and collecting STUFFED ANIMALS (the plush kind, not the dead kind). You share a COMPLETELY AVERAGE HOUSE with your SISTER who you haven't been seeing much of these days. You have a SHARP EYE for SHINY THINGS, and have put this to good use as an AMATEUR FOSSIL AND MINERAL COLLECTOR.
A - SS's room
B - Awesome TV setup
C - Kitchen, door to backyard
D - Cluttered Garage

Gray = Impassable
Your name is MIMI MANSON.
You are currently 13 years old. Today is not your 13th birthday. That would have been a huge coincidence! You come from a small suburban household, and live only with your OLDER SISTER. You have a wide variety of interests, including NERDY THINGS LIKE PHYSICS, playing VIDEO GAMES ON YOUR COMPUTER and MYTHOLOGY ABOUT WEREWOLVES. Secretly one day you hope to become a WEREWOLF yourself, but you think you'll probably have to settle for being a WHYWOLF. You don't have many friends because you have a tendency to scare them off with your CRYPTIC VAGUENESS and EMOTIONAL EXPLOSION TENDENCIES, but you desperately want some friends regardless of that. You don't really understand how to KEEP A SECRET, but you can be FRIENDLY most of the time.

Lucent Katana
You stole the diamond out of your sister's rival gem collection for its supposed mystic properties. Then you had to steal your sister's katana for the actual swordy part. Or at least, whatever you call the shorter one in a pair. The longer one that's too big for you to use is missing. You have no idea what this could possibly mean. Anyway the diamond makes it harder and sharper, and much shinier too.
