Haibane Renmei RP
PostPosted: Fri Jul 17, 2009 2:28 pm
This is based off one of my favorite anime titles. You don't need to have read the story to play along though. Information on the anime can be found here
Welcome to the town of Glie, a utopia where angelic creatures called Haibane exist alongside humans. The Haibane are not born like normal humans. Instead, they hatch from cocoons, like butterflies. After they hatch, their wings sprout painfully. Normally, their wings are grey, but occassionally a Haibane will have sinned so terribly that their wings will be blackened. Haibane are, in reality, humans who have passed on from the world of the living. Normally, they have very few memories of their pasts. Even their names are unknown to them. Instead, they have new names. The names are based on dreams the haibane had in their cocoons. The Haibane live in two "nests": Old Home (which is only for girls), and Abandoned factory.
Every so often, at moments unknown to the Haibane, a Haibane will take the "Day of Flight" and vanish from the town. No Haibane knows when this will occur, but he or she must prepare mentally for it and cannot talk about it to others. The only way to know it is near is to observe the halo. If the Haibane's halo is fading, that means the day of flight is imminent. No one is allowed to go outside the town walls. The only contact with the outside world is with hooded people called Toga, who cannot talk with anyone except the Haibane communicator. Even then, they can only talk in sign language. (You will not be able to play a Toga)
This proposal will allow made-up characters and characters from the anime.
The following anime characters are available:
Old Home Haibane:
Hikari (meaning "light"): Wears glasses and has blonde hair. She works at the bakery and is slightly mischevious, but usually a pleasant person.
Nemu (meaning "sleep"): Has brown hair and is the eldest of the Haibane. She appears lazy, but is actually quite a hard worker at the local library.
Kana (meaning "river fish"): The resident prankster. She also works at the clock tower, which doubles as a shop.
Abandoned Factory Haibane:
Hyohko (meaning "ice lake"): this boy is somewhat tempermental and often impulsive.
Midori (meaning "green") is good friends with Hyohko. Now that Reki has left, she is more willing to talk to the other Old Home Haibane. She is good friends with Rakka.
Here's your signup sheet if you're playing a Haibane:
Name:
Name's meaning: (describe the dream your Haibane had)
Wings: (please talk with me if you wish to be Sin-Bound and have blackened wings. Otherwise, your wings will be gray)
Eyes:
Hair:
Gender:
Home: (either Abandoned Factory or Old Home. Only girls are allowed at Old Home. Abandoned Factory is co-ed)
Age (How long you've been a Haibane):
Occupation: (if any)
Personality:
If you are playing a townsperson, here's what I want:
Name:
Eyes:
Hair:
Gender:
Occupation:
Bio:
--------
Here's my first character:
Name: Rakka
Name's meaning: "falling". Rakka dreamed she was falling from the sky in her dream.
Wings: At first, they were gray. At one point in the anime, they turned black, but when she found redemption for her sins, they returned to their original color.
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Brown
Occupation: Cleans the light leaves that make the Haibane's halos. These are found inside the town's walls.
Age: 2 years, but appears to be ten.
Personality: Rakka is kind-hearted and slightly clumsy. She always tries to put others' needs above her own. She keeps a watchful eye on the other Haibane and if she thinks one is about to take the "Day of Flight", she will help them prepare for it, because she thinks this is why she is here.
