*This roleplay is based on the anime of the same name.




Welcome to Heaven's Academy, where souls of the dead gather to live out a normal school life. In this alternate world, no one can die, no one can age, but everyone can do anything. The possibilities are limitless - guns - magic - physically impossible feats - the imagination is your limit. The question is, are you willing to fight to keep it? This roleplay is less about the plot and more about character development.

There are two main factions in this world:
1.) The Battlefront - For these people, this world is a heavenly playground. They feel it is their gift for the struggles they were put through in their past life, and they are willing to fight at all costs to keep their place. Everything they do is rowdy and goes against school rules for fear that they may be "obliterated" and forced to leave.
2.) The Legion - These people believe that this world is not just a "gift" but a place to be healed and be ready for the next life. They deliberately want people to be "obliterated" and if they can't talk anyone into moving on, they'll do it by force. These people follow the school rules and continue to strive for their goal until they feel their work is no longer needed.

RULES:
1. No griefing! Just because you can't die doesn't mean you don't feel pain or have some sort of weakness. Play nice!
2. No sex! If you and another character are about to go at it, just allude to it then both of you declare [Skip Scene].
3. You CAN have a character live forever, but you could also "obliterate" them if they find peace. Experiment with characters all you want, but not so much that you go through half a dozen a week.

CHARACTER CREATION:
You can have as many as you want (Don't swamp yourself!) and can reveal as much or as little info about your character as you want. If your character is "obliterated" then state at the end of your final post for him/her "[Your Character] has been obliterated."

Have fun!

She sat alone on a park bench staring up at the blue sky and the white clouds that floated across it. She toyed with a top hat as she gazed up at the sky, sighing occasionally. Idly she wondered if she sat here long enough someone else might show up and tell her what was going on. Where she was, how she got there. The Where was clearly some kind of school complex. She was wearing the uniform when she woke up on this bench and her hat was sitting on her head with the brim over her eyes. She had held her fear in check until it vanished almost completely and now was only left with a vague unease about her situation. A bell rang from the school building drawing her attention from the sky. "I wonder if that means a class is starting?" She asked no one in particular. And then she sighed again. She wondered if she should go and see if anyone at the school could tell her what was going on. But no... she was comfortable on her bench with nothing but the sky and her hat as companions for now.

Spoiler:

Looks interesting. Not a fan of Angel Beats myself but I'll play the RP.

Spoiler:

Kris felt nothing but the cold hard ground on his back as he began to regain his sense. Opening his eyes revealed nothing but blue sky above him. He hurt all over, like he got hit by a bus and had a splitting headache. All he could remember was that he had a sister and what she looked like. Kris slowly got up grabbing his head with his hand and took a look at his surroundings. "Looks like a school of some kind..." He said noticing he was warring a school uniform. He began to look around for her but she was no where to be seen. "Maybe she's in the school...?" Kris started to stumble into the building to look for his sister.

"It's against school rules to be out here when class is starting, missy."
A white haired boy walked up to the top-hat girl at the bench. He had a seductive smirk and stood with his wrist on his hip.
"I can escort you to your class if you want, m'lady. I don't know how you got all the way out here to be honest, but I can let it slide for now."
He turned around and held out his arm like entering a fancy ballroom party with a date.
"Shall we?"

"Uh... Who are you?" She asked the boy. She hadn't seen him approach and that worried her. But something else irked her first. She hated nicknames of any kind. "And it's Alice. Not 'Top Hat Girl.'" She gave him an angry look. "Before I'm doing anything I want to know where I am and how I got here." She placed the hat on her head and folded her arms across her chest. She looked up at him expectantly, waiting.
OOT: In case you haven't seen the Skype post I plan on going to Battlefront in a few posts here.

OOT: Shit! Forgot to make this character.

Spoiler:

Sarah awoke on the cold hard ground. She had no idea where she was and was scared. Her head was in a fog and she couldn't remember much. She remembered her brother and that he died but that seemed to be it. Not wanting to be alone she got up and started to look around.

"Well..."
He turned back around and smirked seductively.
"My name is Trevor. Third year at this school. First off, you're dead. It's not uncommon for people who enter this world to have amnesia, since most people die from head trauma anyway."
He flicked his hair.
"You're now at Heaven's Academy. Should you graduate from here, you'll leave with a valuable lesson in mind, and not the academic type either, I mean the soul revival type."
He chuckled.
"Please, let me take you to your class."
He held out his hand with his usual smirk.

Any clever remarks or dry wit Alice had imagined she would reply to this strange boy with died on her tongue. Dead? She was Dead!? Her mind could not wrap itself around the idea. Dead..... And then the other thing he had said, Amnesia. Memory loss. Fear reared up inside of her, emptying her out to the core and then filling her with liquid nitrogen.
She knew her name, first name at least, it was Alice. She now knew that she was at something the boy called Heaven's Academy if he could be trusted that is. But other than that..... Other than that.... A few rudimentary magic tricks popped into her head but other than that nothing came. Then there was one memory. It was distorted, nothing but a few flashes of scenery, feeling before darkness. It filled her with even more dread than her fears at what the boy could possibly have to do with her memory loss.
Something had happened to her. Something so awful she had forgotten everything because of it. A scream passed her lips and both hands flew up to clutch the sides of her head as she screamed. She curled up on the bench for several seconds until her moment of blind terror passed and her rational mind could exert some sort of control.
"What the hell are you talking about! Who are you! What did you do to me!" She cried her voice and body shaking from fright. She slowly backed away from him body tensed, ready to run. His look was concerned but she couldn't read what the expression meant, her mind substituting awful, horrible things. Things that just made her more and more frightened.

Noise in the building and the ringing of the bells just made his head hurt even more. Kris was now clutching his head between his hands in pain. Why does it hurt this much? He thought stumbling around the hallway. Something about this place made him feel worse. The place felt... lifeless for some reason. The noise is killing me. I can't stay in here for much longer. Kris left the school building shortly after entering to get away from all the noise and the strange atmosphere.


Sarah wandered around looking for a place to go when she heard someone screaming. Scared, Sarah ran looking for somewhere to hide.

Trevor's eyes squinted in focus - and his gaze was locked on Alice. He whispered inaudibly to her, but with her heightened senses from her fear, she was able to read his lips.
"We've got a runner."
He summoned a decorative sword and thrusted himself at her at impossible speeds, his expression seemingly half asleep.

And what made it worse - all of that took place in less than a second.

OOT: I forgot how they crafted weapons. Anyway.

Alice stared in shock, her eyes wide. A second ago the boy calling himself Trevor had been at short distance from her. Now he stood so close that their bodies were touching. She pulled her gaze from the boy's glazed over expression and down to his hands. He held the hilt of a sword the blade disappearing into her stomach. As she stared her uniform shirt began to turn red the pain hadn't registered yet.
"So fast," she whispered in astonishment, "My blood..." Her knees gave out and she felt herself falling. The sword slipped from her gut cutting her flesh anew. She screamed again as the pain consumed her mind. Clutching her stomach. Trying to keep everything inside. Pain. Screaming. Sobbing. Her mouth making unintelligible noises between cries. It hurt. It hurt so bad, just as bad as before.
Shadows slowly covered the view of the blue sky with its fluffy clouds. Before her mind could even question how it knew how bad it had hurt before and what before was she was gone.

OOTx2: I'm not entirely sure how you want characters dying to go. I remember from the show that they simply woke up in the school's infirmary. Whether they get majiked there or others carry them I don't really know. But I like the whole deconstruction teleport idea.

The place she woke up now was indoors instead of a bench. For a few fuzzy moments she was content just letting her gaze wander around the room. A curtain wall blocked the full room from her view, so all she could see was the edges of her bed a couple chairs and a small table. Then the memory hit her.
She sat bolt upright, her mouth open in disbelief. "He... He stabbed me." She said as the words formed in her mind. "With a... With a sword...." Well she had tried to accuse him, the rational part of her brain said in an attempt to explain his actions. Accuse him of what, though? She asked it back. It couldn't really give her a clear answer. But enough of that.
Her hand went to her stomach and she closed her eyes because she didn't want to look. She felt the cloth of a clean shirt, one that wasn't sticky with blood. She pressed lightly against her stomach but felt no pain at all. Her eyes opened and she looked down. Nothing, no blood. She lifted her shirt to look at herself. No bandages, no stitches. There wasn't even a scar. But she had been stabbed. Run through with a sword and then died. And now here she was, sitting in a bed absolutely fine other than a slight headache.
"What the hell is going on?" She asked the empty room around her. She let herself fall back on the bed, her mind trying to figure out, without much success, the kind of predicament she had managed to get herself into this time. There were no answers, or any suggestions to be found in her recent memories. All except for one thing. That boy, whoever he was, was her enemy. And somehow she'd figure out how to undo whatever it was he had done to her.

Sarah found a bush to hide behind. She sat there with he eyes closed and grabbing. Moments later she heard another, much louder, scream followed by a wet thud. She closed her eyes tighter and was shaking at what she just heard. Soon she started to cry. She continued to sit there not wanting to see what had transpired.


"Ah... much better." Kris said sitting on a bench a good distance away from the school. His head started to feel better and he was enjoying the nice breeze blowing across his face.

The door slid open in the infirmary as Alice lay there behind the curtains, defenseless.
"Oi! The boss sai' she'd be here!"
"Look at the closed curtains, dumbass!"
The curtains covering Alice's bed were thrown open. Three greaser guys towered over her with malicious grins and shining leather biker outfits.
"Heaha! She's cute! I hope the boss wouldn't mind-"
"SHUT IT! He sai' we god'a watch 'er and make sure she go to class!"
All three of them stared at Alice with grins.
"So what's it gonna be? Class? Or-"
He pulled on a large link chain.
"Punishment game?"
"TAKE IT LIKE A BITCH! TAKE IT LIKE A BITCH!"

"Hey, you."
Trevor called to Kris lazing on the bench.
"Class started a half hour ago. Shouldn't you be going?"
He paused for a second.
"I may need to "report" this if you don't comply."

Alice looked at the boys surrounding her bed through narrowed eyes. "Not big on explaining things around here are you." She said angrily. "Someone else told me to go to class, even though I've been a graduate for ten years. That same kid put a sword through my gut." She got out of bed and took her hat from the bedside table. Glaring up at them wasn't as effective as she would have hoped, seeing as how they were all taller than her and she had to look up to meet their eyes. Not a good situation if you're trying to be intimidating. Whatever the hell was going on she knew these kids were with that white haired punk, making them her enemies.
She wasn't big on fighting, she shied away from most confrontations anyway despite her career choice. But right now she wasn't going to be a victim. But in order to fight them she needed a weapon. A memory flashed through her mind, too fast to remember exact details but her impression of it was helpful. She let her features relax and then she smiled mischievously.
"You expect me to go to class after I just woke up in the Nurse's Office?" You guys are heartless. "I mean what if I collapse in the hallway or something? You'd all get in trouble, right?" She gave them a mock bow and graciously pulled the hat from her head. She paused to think for a moment, knowing that these guys wouldn't blink to attack her, especially going from the looks they were giving her. "I might just be persuaded to go," she put a hand into her hat, found what she was looking for and grinned, "But not by you dumb looking idiots!" Her hand shot out of her hat drawing three playing cards from the deck that was in there, although she didn't remember putting it there, and with a flick of her wrist she sent all three cards whizzing at the boys.... And all but one missed.
Her only success was to mess up their leader's pompadour hairstyle. "Ah shit." She said with a sheepish grin, planning on jumping through the window behind her. If she could survive a sword in her gut then a drop to the ground wouldn't be anything. Right?


OOT: And now to even the odds

Spoiler:

"Well, well, well." Dominic said from the doorway. "If it isn't Trevor's three stooges. "I hope these buffoons aren't giving you any trouble, miss. They know what I do to them when they harass people without good reason." He took a step into the room brandishing his kama. He narrowed his eyes at the three enforcers. "Leave. Now." He commanded, "Or do you want me to slash you all up again. I had a lot of fun last time." He shifted into a fighting stance and waited for them to make up their minds. "I don't have all day you wannabe bikers."

Kris looked at the white haired boy. "What are you talking about? I'm not a member of this school." Kris looked down at the uniform he was wearing. "Ah I see now. Yeah I don't know why but I woke up in front of the school wearing this. Must be some guys idea of a joke... Anyway sir if class already started why aren't you in there already?"

Spoiler:

"HAHAAA!!"
Another boy slid into the infirmary and raised his guns at the bikers.
"Like Dom said! We ain't got all day! Haha! I'll turn you into swiss cheese!!!"

"SHIT! What'd we do?!"
All three of the bikers stood there frozen.
"I'll call the boss!"

"It's my job to make sure people attend their classes here in this academy."
Trevor said to Kris. His walkie-talkie buzzed, "BOSS WE GOT A PRO-" Trevor quickly shut it off.
"Please, make this easier on yourself. I got bigger problems to take care of."
A moment of silence after Trevor spoke. Then the sound of butchery and gunfire echoed to their location.
"Nevermind. I got time now. Those brainless idiots."
Trevor said without even changing his expression or getting surprised at the sound.

"And kid like I said I don't attend this school. Hell, I graduated last year. And why did I hear gun fire over your Walkie-talkie?" Kris said to Trevor. Something about Trevor seemed of to him. He had wanted to run away from him but couldn't for some reason.


Sarah slowly peeked around the bushes to see if the coast was clear. Seeing that it was she slowly got up and walked around the area.

"What.... What the hell?" Alice asked as the ringing in her ears faded. "What the hell did you do!" She stared in horror at the boy holding the guns. Her thoughts were a speeding train going nowhere. The gun smoke was settling and she looked down at the bodies near her feet, then up to the two boys. "Who the hell are you?" The boy with the scythes took a step forward and she stepped back pulling another card from her hat. Prepared to throw it at him, unsure of what it would accomplish but knowing that she couldn't just do nothing. "I won't go anywhere until you tell me what the hell is going on."

Dominic lowered his weapons and sighed. "I'm sorry miss. Give me one second please." He turned to Isaac, an angry look in his eye. "I told you to wait in the hall. I said I could handle those wannabes. Why do you always have to shoot first? Do you ever listen to me when I tell you to be patient?" Another sigh and he turned back to the girl. He didn't have much time. Trevor would be coming soon and the new girl couldn't be here when he showed up. "I'm sorry for this. You must be incredibly confused but we don't have time for explanations right now. I'm sorry. My name is Dominic, what's yours?"

"Alice" She said with a guarded tone in her voice. "Why don't we have time, what's going on?"

"Trevor's coming. He's probably the one who sent you here. Those goons were his." He put a hand to his head, looking quickly around the infirmary. Isaac was preoccupied watching the doorway. "It's good to meet you by the way. Anyway take this," he pulled a business card from a pocket and offered it to her. "Go to the room on this card and wait for me. Don't worry you'll be safe there. Just tell them I sent you. Now you need to get moving." He exchanged glances with Isaac. "Hurry!"

Alice took the card from Dominic's hand and looked at it. "Where is this? How do I get here?" He didn't seem to be paying attention to her so she repeated herself. He told her she needed to run. She wasn't about to trust him but the smell of blood and gunpowder was starting to get to her and something about the look in his eye filled her with urgency. She took another glance at the card in her hand, pulled her hat on and fled from the room.

"Isaac, let's get going before he shows up."

"Aww...but I came to..."
Isaac clasped his hands together and looked at Alice with a kitten smile.
"I CAME TO SPROUT LOVE IN THIS DESOLATE WORLD! SO CUUUUTE!"
Dominic chopped his head. If Isaac were made out of putty, his head'd be shaped in a "U" now.
"Gah! Alright! I'm Going!"
He said in a hoarse voice.
As they were running off, Issac did the "call me" sign and disappeared out the adjacent hallway window by falling backwards.

"The gunfire? That's because some people in this world insist on staying in limbo and not going out to enjoy life. You're not a "no-life" like them...are you?"
He held out his hand.
"Come. I'll put you in the roster. Let me help you graduate from here. You'll learn something valuable, I promise."
He had his usual smirk as he spoke.

Limbo? Kris thought. That can't be right. This guy is just nuts. Better get away from him. Kris got up from the bench and turned away from the white haired man. "Yeah... sorry but I don't really like hanging with crazy people so if you'll excuse me I've got a sister to find."


Sarah came up to the school building and entered it.


OOT: Sorry if my posts seem to be along the lines of "character does nothing"

"You have a sister? Hmm? Are you sure she's even here?"
He still had his smirk.
"It's unlikely you and your sister died both at once."
A pause.
"Even if she did it's unlikely she'll be here as well as you."

Kris turned and looked at Trevor. "Dead? I'm not dead you loon. I'm still alive I mean just last night I-" Kris tried to think of what it was he did last night but couldn't remember anything. The more he thought the more his head began to hurt. "Look I'm not dead so why don't you go back to whatever asylum you escaped from. I'm sure your doctors are looking for you."

"Hmm? You don't believe you're dead?"
Trevor summoned his gunblade.
"Does this prove anything? A sword appears out of thin air?"
He smiled more maliciously.
"I could prove your dead some other way. Then again, I don't want it to go that way."
He lowered his blade.
"I'm not forcing you - yet - but please, attend class. I'll escort you, okay?"

Spoiler:

Tea stood in front of a school with a puzzled look on her face. "Where am I?" She said to herself.

"Isaac, let's go see if we can find anyone else before Trevor does." Dominic stepped out into the hallway.

Alice was...... Well she didn't want to admit it, even to herself. But she was properly lost. This school was a confusing mess to her. There were stairways and different buildings and the room numbers kept changing without any apparent order.
None of the students were of any help either. In fact they blatantly ignored her, regardless of anything she tried to do. The thought of lifting her shirt in front of some of the boys crossed her mind but her face reddened at the thought. So she continued wandering down hallway after hallway changing to different buildings only to end up back in another one.
"What the hell kind of school is this? Nothing goes in order!" She let out an irritated sigh. Her stomach rumbled. "Oh be quiet. There's other things to worry about right now."

OOT: Now to begin a descent into stupidity I introduce a third character. I promise not to make a habit out of this until some of them start to die off.

Spoiler:

Hana let her breath out in a puff and watched as the smoke cloud escaped from between her lips. She took one last drag from her cigarette, exhaled and flicked it away. She knew smoking on campus was against the rules, but an addiction is still an addiction. And having an unlimited supply of them made it impossible to quit. Trevor was always bitching at her about it but in the end he knew not to push it too far. Which was a good thing since that meant they could still work together for the ultimate goal, even if she didn't like how he did it.
Rules were rules, but if the new arrivals didn't understand what was going on or where they were, how could you expect them to follow rules, or go to class? You couldn't. Forcing them just pushed them into Battlefront instead of moving on.
She sighed and stared out over the school grounds. The sound of gunfire pulled her attention to the infirmary and she sighed again, heavier this time. Trevor is at it again. Another sigh and she watched the clouds sail across the blue sky. That gunfire had probably come from Isaac, Battlefront's trigger happy member.
She watched as a girl came towards the main entrance of the school. Hana could see the uncertainty and hesitation in her actions. A new arrival she knew. She'd seen enough to tell what they were immediately. She smiled to herself. If she could get to this girl before Trevor could then maybe they could get a new ally. They were already losing the numbers game against Battlefront and she knew Trevor and his group weren't helping anything.
She turned back and began walking through the hallways at a brisk pace trying to get to the girl before she wandered around and got herself lost somewhere. Before she had gone too far though she saw something else. A girl was wandering the empty halls between classes looking lost and kind of scared. She wore a hat on her head, in violation of the rules.
"Excuse me," she said politely getting the girl's attention. "But wearing hats inside is against the rules." The girl gave her a hard look and Hana raised both hands palms showing. "Sorry. You must be new here. Can I help you with anything? Are you lost?"

Alice sighed, she couldn't be angry at this girl just because she had said something about the rules. "I'm not a student here. At least I don't think so." The girl nodded, there was the distinct smell of tobacco smoke around her. "But yes I am lost. I'm trying to get here." She handed the card over.

Hana took the card from the new girl's hand and looked it over. "My name's Hana by the way. To start off, you've been reading it upside down." She watched as the girl's face turned red. "Don't worry it's okay. Dominic has never had the best handwriting." She took a pen from her pocket, crossed out what Dominic had written and wrote the correct room number underneath it. Then she scribbled another room number under that one.
"I'm going to put the room number of where I can be found most of the day in case you want to come talk to me. I know you'll have a lot of questions and Dominic and his friends will give you some answers. If you want the others you can come ask me any time." She smiled and handed the card back. "It was good meeting you miss..."

"Alice."

Hana smiled again. "It was nice meeting you Alice. I'm sorry but I need to run. I hope you have a good time. Be sure to go to class sometimes though." With a wave Hana rushed away from Alice. She needed to find the other girl, hopefully Trevor hadn't already gotten to her.

Alice watched Hana go. "Well that was... Different." She finally said deciding the right word for this latest encounter. She looked at the card Dominic had given her and that Hana had corrected. There were two room numbers, legibly written in neat handwriting. If the school made any sense at all then the two rooms were on opposite ends of the campus. She looked at the first rewritten number then at the nearest classroom numbers. Hana's voice called back from down the hall. "Just keep going the direction you're facing. It'll make sense soon! I promise!" Alice let out a sigh and began walking, the numbers getting closer to the number she wanted.
