Soul Eater

Though I've only seen the anime, here is the wiki link for what this is.

A sound soul... dwells within a sound mind... and a sound body.

The Death Weapon Meister Academy (DWMA) exists as a school for young Meisters (People who can use their souls in battle) and Weapons (People who turn into weapons to be held by Meisters; also using their souls to fight) to learn how to control their powers, and to learn the morals that Death (The Grim Reaper) wants them to follow. The true purpose is that the Meisters take out monster-like beings, and people who have turned evil, before their hunger for human souls leads them to becoming a "Kishin", a monster that would plunge the world into chaos and turmoil. Or, as Death himself says in the first three episodes:

“ Welcome to Death Weapon Meister Academy. More commonly known as the DWMA. It stands as a defense against the forces of evil, which would plunge the world into chaos and drag humanity into the very depths of fear and madness. The demons known as Kishin, and their eternal hunger for destruction. To ensure that the Kishin never regain their hold on this world, this Academy was founded by the Grim Reaper, Death himself. So basically we're an organization that serves to protect and preserve peace! I guess it's not exactly a typical school. Oh well, that isn't important! For now, lets roll up our sleeves and get to work! ”

—Lord Death, Episodes 1-3

You may also feel free to sign up as a witch, samurai, wizard, whatever may fit in this world's setting! Even a perfectly ordinary person, if that fits your preference. The plot here isn't worked out yet, but that depends on if I want there to already be a Kishin running around.

(Any questions and you can ask around in the chat, since there's a number of fans and I'm just following Canon. If I'm there I'll answer)

And so, without further ado, the signups (If you have a canon, you can be lazy with the signup) [Note: Flame has dibs on Death the Kid]:

Name: Excalibur

Age: "My legend dates back to the twelfth century, you know"

Gender: Male

What are you: Weapon

Appearance: Fool!

Personality: Obnoxious, full of himself, super hammy, and you won't hear the end of him talking ever.

Bio: Fool! Do you want to hear the legend of me? It begins in the twelfth century...

Fighting abilities: He turns into the "LEgendary Blade Excalibur, able to rend the air and shatter the earth!" Unfortunately (Fortunately?), nobody seems capable of matching "Personal Wavelengths" with him, so despite anyone being able to wield him, nobody can stand him for very long. And so, he just sits in his cave, waiting for someone to come get him.

Name: Death the Kid

Age: Unknown

Gender: Male

What are you: Meister

Appearance:

Personality: He is usually very mature and precise in his ways. Kid is perfectly fine with other people making their own decisions, even if he disagrees with their choices. However, there are times when his obsession with symmetry or just a miscalculation can greatly affect his usual calm self and cause him to become quite childish.

Bio: Too Lazy to summarize.

Fighting abilities: This says it all.

Name: Kim Diehl

Age: Unknown

Gender: Female

What are you: Meister

Don't click David and Ran:

Appearance:

Personality: Kim has a tendency to be a little rude and aggressive to some, especially Ox. She doesn't like getting too close to people, though recently with Jackie as her partner, she has been getting over that little by little. She's extremely self conscious about her secret and worries that people would hate her if they knew. She has only ever told Jackie.

She can also be a bit greedy, having relied on money a lot in her past. She will often ask for payment for her services or complain about how she should have gotten paid.

Bio: Again, I am a lazy. Plus I don't want to reveal too much that would spoiler Ran and David.

Fighting abilities: Spoilers here too.

----

Name: Labradora Boomer (Dora for short)

Age: 14

Gender: Female

What are you: Weapon

Appearance:

Personality: Dora is hyperactive and eager to please. She is loyal to her friends and even more so to her Meister. She acts a bit airheaded but she's actually the top of her class, mostly because of her memory. She's generally nice to everyone she meets, but has a bit of a sixth sense for trouble. If she thinks you're bad news, she'll treat you coldly and might even resort to growling at you if you're persistent enough.

Bio: Labradora comes from a long line of weapons, all of which are the kinds used for hunting. Her brothers, Wild Bill and Long Shot, were a bow and rifle respectively. She was often teased by them for being a simple boomerang, something many knock off as a toy, forgetting it's hunting origins. However, of the three of them, she was the only one to have been born with the instincts and tracking abilities that had previously been honed to perfection in their family.

Because of her appearance, personality, and tracking abilities, many have compared to her a dog. That is why she chose the name Labradora (Her given name was Isadora) upon entering the academy. This is her first year as an academy student.

Fighting abilities: As previously stated, she has excellent instincts and tracking abilities. She can both track soul wavelengths as well as use the traditional techniques of tracking many hunters use. As a boomerang, she has to depend on her Meister for attacking, getting thrown and coming back. She's been trying to learn to have some control on her projectile direction, though so far all attempts have ended in either failure or her finding something more interesting to do.

Name: Maria "Ria" Eiserne
Age: 17
Gender: Female
What are you: Weapon
Appearance: "What, you thought you could win? Idioooot!"
Personality: Taunting and cruel, with a startling lack of respect and empathy. Shows little respect for the emotions of others, and generally does not tend to pull punches, especially in combat. In battle, Maria, if left to her own devices, will follow her usual persona to the letter, fighting the opponent in the most cruel and imaginative ways she can think of. She's arrogant, and rarely takes people seriously, so the idea of goofing off in a fight is not a new one to her. The number of people who can control her behavior is rather limited, consisting mostly of authority figures (who she respects for their power and nothing else), and one other particular person, quite possibly the only one she shows any hint of respect or concern for.
Bio: Unlike most weapons at the DWMA, Maria didn't have the problem of picking a partner who would suit her best. She had a bigger problem. She couldn't find a partner, period. Not for lack of trying, mind you. She looked extensively, and many tried (or rather, were forced to) but no one could properly match her wavelength. In the end, it literally came down to one person. Only one person was capable of synching with her. So in the end, she had no choice. Go without a Meister, or go with this one, and learn to like them whether she wanted to or not. This is pretty much the sole reason Maria listens to her Meister, or shows them any respect at all. She's trying to learn to like them, but for someone like Maria... that's hard.
Fighting abilities: Maria's weapon form is that of a particularly nasty looking torture device (seen in the background of the supplied pic). A strange combination of cage and chains which seems to function to imprison, bind, and torture the victim simultaneously. While the use of the cage is self explanatory, the chains are rather special. They seem to have no set length, and are tipped with sharp darts. When the chains either wrap around the victim or the darts pierce their skin, a strong electric current runs through them, either through their body or directly into their nerves if the darts have pierced their skin. The chains can be used to whip, bind, or stab, and if possible, they can also trap the enemy inside the cage, which is (for all intents and purposes) unbreakable. The cage usually does not materialize until needed, and Maria either assumes a half human form or appears as a set of chains.

I have yet to think of a Resonance form for her.

Name: Jacqueline O'Lantern Dupré

Age: 15 - 16

Gender: Female

What are you: Weapon

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Personality: Jackie is completely devoted to her Meister, not hesitating to follow her whatever she goes and going along with whatever she decides. While they did not get off on the best foot, as Jackie disapproved of Kim's lazy and rude attitude, especially since she wanted to pair with her. She softened up when she realized she was actually a good person, though. While she usually has a docile attitude, she can be quick to anger, especially when Kim in threatened in any way. She's extremely loyal to Kim and her friends, but even so she's not above taking advantage of the generosity of others at times. She likes being able to feel useful, and gets discouraged if she feels she isn't doing enough to help.

Bio: I can be lazy too.

Fighting abilities: Just like Flame.

Name: Leo Sacher-Masoch

Age: 17

Gender: Male

What are you: Masochist Meister

Appearance: "Come on Ria, I just want to play till we both break~"

Personality: Playful to a childish extent, this hides a much darker side to him that revels in pain. The feeling, the sensations, the pleasure, it all is so invigorating to him. Feeling pain, inflicting pain, be it mental or physical, he enjoys it all. Though he would rather feel all the pain himself, he's not beyond inflicting it on the enemy or even banter about it with his partner. He especially likes to tease her, sometimes trying to provoke her into saying or doing things she wouldn't do otherwise.

Bio: At first he had seemed a happy and carefree sort of child, always running around and playing, eating sweets to his hearts content. That all changed when he got his first spanking. His parents were baffled as to why their son kept asking for more spankings, even when he was behaving like a saint. And when they refused him? He enjoyed it even more, considering it a type of mental sadism by refusing him what he desired. His parents were worried and terrified of him. The fact he continued to act like a child even in teenhood did not help it either. It made it all eerie for the couple. You can imagine they sighed in relief when the boy left home to become a Meister in the DWMA.

Like Maria, he had plenty of trouble finding a partner. No weapon could handle his masochistic desires, nor could they fully satisfy his lust for pain. It was a miracle that Leo and Maria found eachother. Finally someone who could sate his desires. He was the only person capable of putting up with her attitude, even reveling in it. But even as a masochist who enjoys the pain she inflicts, he still finds enjoyment in teasing her, often saying she brings out his inner sadist.

Fighting abilities: Leo is a glutton for pain, he take beatings no matter how extreme and still enjoy that pleasurable feeling he gets. In fact, the more you hurt him, the more fired up he gets to return the favor. Not out of revenge, he truly believes he's doing the other person a favor by hurting them as much as they hurt him. Any pain he inflicts will always be equal to the pain he received. It helps that his weapon is a torture device.

Name: Sapphire Crystal (Originally "Crystal Anderson")

Age: 14

Gender: Female

What are you: Meister

Appearance: Hey there

Personality: She dislikes fighting immensely, and tends to be fairly shy around those she doesn't know well. With those she's close to, however, she can show a playful side. She's protective of everyone and everything, not believing that anything deserves to be hurt unless it has hurt someone. She's extra protective of her friends, but more jarring to people is the fact she will get angry at someone who's torn the branch off a tree, or punched a hole in a wall. This leads to her losing all sense of being shy and immediately yelling at them, or in extreme cases, even losing her unwillingness to fight and attacking the fool who dared step upon a bug.

Bio: Raised on a farm by her grandmother, she's no stranger to hard work. She learned her kindness from her grandmother, who always taught her to be nice to everything and everyone. She had her whole life dreamed of something more, though, picturing herself traveling the world to see sights unseen, and maybe even protect some people along the way.

One day, her Grandmother found a brochure for DWMA in Crystal's room, and confronted her about it. Despite Crystal's insistence that she would stay, her Grandmother simply shook her head and told her to go. After a tearful departure, Crystal left to the Academy and became a Meister. Her weapon was a bit unusual, but she liked her partner a great deal.

Fighting abilities: While skilled in almost no weaponry originally, she's become very adept at throwing her Partner around and actually hitting her targets. Her partner being a ranged weapon with limited extreme close range ability, she took the time to study martial arts at the recommendation of her teachers. She has the ability to see the soul of someone she's looking at, though has no talent (Yet) at soul detect specifically.

Name: Lilith Drill

Age: 16

Gender: Female

What are you: Weapon

Appearance: Except change out the cross on her arm for a drill. The sparkles in her eyes? Stay there all the time and don't go away.

Personality: A leader, or so she considers herself. She likes to come up with plans and make others follow along. While this can be useful, she often comes off as bossy because of it. If things don't go according to plan, she'll either shout off the ears of the one who she believes to be responsible or just break down and become useless. She's always very particular about things, so it isn't exactly hard for her plans to fall apart in her mind. She's protective of her meister, but otherwise doesn't seem to pay much attention to anyone else's safety.

Bio: Raised in a rich family, she has never really known strife. Until coming to the school, she looked down on the homeless as lazy bums. However, it wasn't long after coming to Death City to become a death weapon (The first in her family to have this kind of ability) that she learned the truth of the hardships of every day life for the poor. She was greatly disappointed in herself, and declared that she'd make up for her previous attitude by becoming a powerful "Death Scythe" that protects the world. However, her selfishness shines through often and she will usually rely on her meister to do the work.

Fighting abilities: Turns into a perfectly-white drill covered in pink sparkles, complete with an appropriate handle where her meister can put her hand inside. Upon pulling the trigger inside the drill turns for increased piercing power. When turning, the sparkles create pink stripes. The speed of the drill can be modified to increase damage output, specifically by pulling a second trigger. A third setting, believed to be the highest, is only possible with Soul Resonance and it comes with the effect of forcing the Meister to be pulled forward through the air where the Drill is going. This technique is, obviously, very difficult to use.

Name: Sarah Bohrer

Age: 17

Gender: Female

What are you: Meister

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Personality: A casual, easily adaptable attitude on the outside makes it hard for anyone to notice the strength within her. Her positive and confidant nature allows her to fight, even while fearful, through sheer force of willpower. Even so, she tends to avoid leadership roles, allowing her weapon to come up with the plans, and consoling her whenever they fall apart and she starts to break down. Being so sure of herself, it's usually her that messes up her weapon's plans and gets herself injured. She's never let her weapon get hurt because of her, though, at least not after they were used to each other as partners, so one could said she's stupidly selfless when it comes to her partner. Some would just call her stupid.

Bio: Born in California in a town not too far away from Death Valley, Sarah grew up knowing about the DWMA, having a father that was a Meister. He expected her to attend to school ever since she was little, and she was eager to do it. She'd always had a knack for hand-to-hand combat like boxing, as she would show whenever she would practice with her father, so she guessed learning to use a weapon could be good too. Without any hesitation, she traveled to the school on her own, going to the orientation and, with a little bit of trouble, finding a weapon partner that suited her in fighting style.. though not so much in appearance.

Fighting abilities: Light on her feet and skilled in a kickboxing fighting style, her one-handed drill is paired with a glove on her free hand fitted with brass knuckles.. for punching. She tends to use her weapon less as its own entity and more as an extension of her arm, as if it were a boxing glove, and focuses on skills and attacks that use not only her weapon to fight but also her free arm and legs.

Name: Ashley Campbell

Age: 17

Gender: female

What are you: weapon; chainsaw.

Appearance:

Personality: Rude, obnoxious, and rather full of herself. Always attempts to take charge of a situation; even if she has no idea what's going on. Also has a tendency to come up with nicknames for everyone. Seems to have encyclopedic knowledge of bad horror movies.

Bio: Is looking for a new master after her old one abandoned her. The details aren't well known; but the common consensus is he left her due to her being "a colossal pain in the ass".

Fighting abilities: Her chainsaw form was made to be either worn over a the hand of her meister, or to work as a substitute if no hand is available. Every time she's swung; her blades spin faster; increasing their cutting power. Because of this, ever attack with her is a bit more powerful than the last one. In theory, anyway. In practice, she tends to run out of gas after too many swings.

Name: Elizabeth Thompson (Liz Thompson)

Age: Who knows? I mean N/A.

Gender: Female

What are you: Weapon

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Personality: Despite mostly being the cool-headed and serious of the sisters, she is shown to be extremely afraid of paranormal things, convinced that any ghost she meets is out to eat her (where her paranoia severely irritates the ghosts that are trying to help her). She can also be a little cynical and shallow, and sometimes takes advantage of other people for her own gains. Kid's obsession with symmetry and how he'll sometimes let it control his life sometimes gets on her nerves and she frequently reprimands Kid for this, although she won't hesitate to cheer him up when he is depressed. She also displays some courage and determination whenever her friends are in danger, and tries her best to protect them.

Bio: Liz and her sister Patti used to live on the streets of Brooklyn before being found by Kid. They tried to rob him but failed, he took an interest in them since they look identical in weapon form and are thus symmetrical as a set. Both Patti and Liz admire Kid's dignified soul, due to the fact that they are from the streets.

Fighting abilities: If Kid is not with them, she can use her sister's weapon form and vice versa, though it is slightly less effective than if they would be utilized by Kid. Unlike her sister, Liz appears to be more focused and better at sharp-shooting than her sister. This goes back to when they were in Brooklyn, where it is implied that Liz was more often the meister with Patty being the weapon.

---

Name: Patricia Thompson (Patti Thompson)

Age: Who knows? I mean N/A.

Gender: Female

What are you: Weapon

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Personality: Patti mostly speaks in a sing-song voice, acting and speaking like a little kid. She says "hello" and "sorry", like a child says "hullo" and "sowwy". She is so naïve and simple-minded that she thinks everything is all fun and games and she does not take anything seriously. Her current personality differs from the seemingly aggressive personality she had during her time in Brooklyn, developing her current personality after she met Kid. Unlike her sister, Patti enjoys the drama brought on by Kid's perfectionist attitude, though she does cheer him up when he gets down on himself about it. On the few occasions when she loses her temper, her childlike personality is replaced by a somewhat psychotic-seeming anger, as if her personality reverted back into her past street life in Brooklyn. There have been times though, that Patti's childishly naïve personality disappears to make room for a more serious personality, suggesting that her bubble-like personality may be a front, or merely how she wants to act.

Bio: Patti and her sister Liz used to live on the streets of Brooklyn before being found by Kid. They tried to rob him but failed, he took an interest in them since they look identical in weapon form and are thus symmetrical as a set. Both Patti and Liz admire Kid's dignified soul, due to the fact that they are from the streets. (Copy-pasta from the wiki)

Fighting abilities: If Kid is not with them, she can use her sister's weapon form and vice versa, though it is slightly less effective than if they would be utilized by Kid. While acting as a meister, Patti's method of hitting her target can be described as chaotic and disheveled. Because she is a weapon, Patti was never able to showcase her athletic capabilities. During sparring matches, Patti was shown to be surprisingly proficient in hand to hand combat, being able to take on five opponents in a row without any drop in form.

Name: Diamond

Age: 15

Gender: Female

What are you: Witch

Appearance:

Personality: chipper, carefree but extremely caucious around her own kind

Bio: Diamond is not what any one thought she would be. SHe is chipper, kind, helpful and willing to help any meister in need. She is an outcast to her own kind so she travels a lot but ends up always staying close to death city.

Fighting abilities: Her magic concists of mainly healing magic but she can also use dark magic for attacking an enemy. Her animal transformation is a golden ram.

(Hello Kandas and welcome to the site! Glad you're interested in RPing Soul Eater! I'm afraid, though, that your character is too similar to another character being RPed, a canon character at that. It's also very likely that Kim is the only exception to the witches being automatically evil. I can understand if you just didn't know these things though, if you only watched the anime or something. But please, feel free to make another character!)

(Also, I'm not sure if you've figured this out already or not, but this thread you're reading currently is the Signups thread, and if you want to actually post with a character that post will go into this thread. It's already started, but hasn't gone far yet. I hope you enjoy the RP and our Forum!)
