Seagulls: When They Cry is a murder mystery created by a company called 07 Expansion. This idea is not mine, but I think it would make for a fun rp. I will not follow the story, but use the same layout that the story had.

ISLAND
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Sha...kill/island.jpg

MANSION


FACT:

Once a year the Eginhard family gathers to have their annual family conference. Their family head is deathly ill and the children often quarrel over how the inheritance will be split. These debates are usually left to the adults, the children have no idea what goes on during the family conferences and they usually spend their time hanging out and playing in the guest house. The conference takes place on the Eginhard's own private island. A hurricane is coming and they will not be able to leave for quite some time. There is a murderer on the island.

FANTASY:

The island has a legend that speaks of the Golden Sorcerer: Devlin. The children were always warned to never go into the island's forests because that is where the sorcerer lived, and the sorcerer did not take kindly to uninvited guests entering his domain. Of course, these are just stories to scare the children... or are they. All of the murders follow the same pattern that the old legends speak of, and the legend ends with the sorcerer's resurrection.

After everyone on the island is dead the final survivor comes face to face with Devlin.

"Who are you?"

"I am the Goden Sorcerer: Devlin! Welcome to my game." The sorcerer exclaims while giving a mock bow.

"There's no such thing as sorcerer's or magic! You don't exist! You're just an illusion!"

"Would you like to make a wager?"

And that is how this game started.
------

HERE IS HOW IT WORKS

The rp'er will rp on the island until everyone is dead. Then a detective will be chosen among the rp'ers.

THE GOAL

The detective will try to prove that the culprit was a human, and that magic does not exist. The Sorcerer will try to prove that he is the culprit and that magic DOES exist.

This will be done through debates. The actual rules of the GAME will be given by the sorcerer during the rp.

THE GAME

Once everyone on the island is dead the detective will face off against the sorcerer in a debate. When the debating is done, if there is no true winner, and the detective and sorcerer still have the will to fight, the game will continue. The game will reset to the first day and the events will happen once again, but this time the sorcerer will control the world to change the way the events happen. Then when everyone is dead once again the debate will continue.

Note: You don't have to understand what they are talking about, just take note of the debate itself.

Epitaph of Twilight:

My beloved hometown, the sweetfish river running through it.
You who seek the Golden Land, follow its path downstream and seek the key.

If you follow the river downstream, you will find a village.
In the village, look for the shore the two will tell you of.
There sleeps the key to the Golden Land.

He who lays hand upon the key shall travel under the rules below.

At the first twilight, you shall lift up as sacrifice the six chosen by the key.
At the second twilight, those who remain shall tear apart the two who are close.
At the third twilight, those who remain shall praise my honorable name on high.
At the fourth twilight, gouge the head and kill.
At the fifth twilight, gouge the chest and kill.
At the sixth twilight, gouge the stomach and kill.
At the seventh twilight, gouge the knee and kill.
At the eighth twilight, gouge the leg and kill.
At the ninth twilight, the sorcerer shall be revived and none shall be left alive.
At the tenth twilight, the journey shall end and you should reach the village of gold.

The sorcerer will praise the wise, and should bestow four treasures.
One shall be, all the gold from the Golden Land.
One shall be, the resurrection of the souls of all the dead.
One shall be, even the resurrection of the lost love.
One shall be, to put the sorcerer to sleep for all time.

Sleep peacefully, my most beloved sorcerer, Devlin.

To me, this sounds like a lot of fun. Debating and talking about deep issues is something I love in RPs and the real world. Sign me up..... I may have some trouble starting tough, since I never did something like this.

Great, I'll be sure to use the npc's to keep the story going. All you need to do is make a character with the last name "Eginhard" and write out a personality for that character. Afterwards, when we have enough characters, I'll pm you specific history points about your character that may or may no become important later on.

[P-girl]

Alright then.

Character name: Alexander Eginhard
Age: 22
Personality: Cheerful and outgoing, Alexander is positive most of the time. However, he's also quite naïve and easily hurt when he DOES find out people have been abusing this.

[Ranma]

((Nice. Also, I was thinking about making you the detective. [or the first detective anyway]. You and Morrigan (if Morrigan were to join that is) see to be good selections for this roll. Of course, I want to give everyone a chance, but to start out I think this should be okay. Also, if you like mystery or you want to know more about the world I'm taking this from, I suggest you download Umineko no naku koro ni and find the english patch. It's a great story and the anime doesn't do it justice at all.))

[P-girl]

((I'm cool with that.))

[terriordx32]

OK, so are we picking from the selection above? or we just make a char and you assign us somebody?

[melgirl1778]

(Sounds like a great way to practice my future detective skills. sigh me up!)

Name - Abigail Eginhard
Age - 19
Personality - Quiet and shy around everyone but her close friends. Like to hang around people and listen to there interaction, and once she in comfortable she will join. Often perceived as stuck up because she doesn't talk freely to people.

(( To Terriord: You make a character and I make up a history for your character (Basically a family history that relates you to the other rp characters.) You will be the only one who knows this history unless certain conditions are met. For example. I encourage you to have a spouse and a child. So if some people don't mind playing male characters, or don't mind playing two characters I can assign you a spouse or child...or you can talk to a friend who plans on joining and come up with your own plan. As long as I can fit it into the story it works.))

((Also, I encourage people to play characters that are in their 30's and 40's when picking an adult character with a child. You don't have to have a spouse, you can be a single parent...and so on.))
((For example: P-girl's age is 22 and Melgirl's age is 19. I will classify them as *children* characters because it is unlikely...though not impossible by any means... that they are already married or have children. Again, not impossible, but unlikely. Also, if they do have children at that age, it may be difficult to rp with babies in the rp. Not impossible, just difficult.

So, to be considered an adult character it may be better to make your age in the 30's and 40's...))

[winxclubrox23]

Name - Gladys Eginhard
Age - 16
Personality: Somewhat rebellious, Gladys always takes risks, and will try most anything once.

(Question: So like, could I make another character who's also Gladys' mother or something?)

[melgirl1778]

(i can be an adult character if needed, Ranma)

[terriordx32]

Name - Sidney Eginhard
Age - 28
Personality - Party boy who loves being the life a party, even after grduation college he still parties heavily. He's very confident, but not arrogant. Very agressive, but also sensitive.

[Ranma]

((Winxclubrox, you may make a parent for your character. I'm not setting a limit on how many characters people can have, as long as they keep up with their own characters.))

[winxclubrox23]

(Okay, thanks.)

Name - Lillian Eginhard
Age - 46
Personality- Lillian's very protective of her daughter. She tries to be practical about things, but has a tendency to be forgetful.

[melgirl1778]

(then ill make one of my parents )

Name - William Eginhard
Age - 51
Personality - Tough and stubborn. Thinks himself higher then others and only his opinion counts. Father to Abigail, who he tried to set up with society men who are in his opinion, 'worthy'

[Ranma]

((Okay, so far I'm liking the characters. We just need a few more parents involved. Alexander should have parents I think, but Sidney can just be the youngest child of Eliza. It may help if William had a wife and Lillian had a husband.))

[terriordx32]

(i'm cool with Sidney being Eliza's son)

[melgirl1778]

(i dont know if i could handle another character right now...)

[Ranma]

((Okay...Let's see... We're almost done with the 'human' cast of characters. Nightstorm said he was interested in this, but his computer is still dead.))

[terriordx32]

(well, its we still have plenty of other rp'ers who arent online yet, who would probably join...i think you should give it a day.)
