MAJOR NOTE: This roleplay takes place after the Heavy Rain plot. Spoilers are unmarked and abundant!

Heavy Rain ended in October of 2011, the Origami Killer brought to justice by Ethan Mars. While the father went on to be reunited with his son, both reporter Madison Paige and FBI profiler Norman Jayden lost their lives in their own efforts to stop the killer.

Five years have passed since then.

Cultists by the name of Origami Rain intend to continue the Origami Killer's work where it left off. In the fall of 2013, children have been kidnapped and found days later, drowned in rainwater. 11 victims have been found, the police have scarce few leads, and the whole world seems aligned against them. The child range in ages from 8 to 10, and usually have weak ties to their parents.

But the police aren't the only ones working to solve this case. The father of the latest victim, who receives a shoe box with five origami figures, a cellphone, and a gun is fighting to save the son he lost. A green reporter wants to make it big in journalism and is determined to solve the case themselves. And of course we have the profiler brought in from the FBI, who has to somehow calm the storm swirling in the local polive force, and deal with the station's corrupt lieutenant.

Can they stop the madness and catch this killer cult? Only time will tell.

This roleplay is Semi-literate and up, with an emphasis on literacy. That means we want none of this:


Sierra walks into the police staton while it rains outside. "Hi" she said to the officer sitting at the desk.*

And definitely none of this:


Sierra: "Hi" i say and wave to john "how are you"

This isn't fanfiction.net. This isn't your fourth grade creative writing project. You are a writer with an understanding of grammar and punctuation and you will use it.

However, purple prose is also subject to an equal amount of spite. I don't want an essay of a response, 2-6 paragraphs will do. This also means no one-liners. I understand writer's block, but you are a writer! Try for a minimum of 2 paragraphs.

This, for the record, is purple prose:


The nightfall, deeply saturated with every fibre of its being in the shadows of dark gloom and ocular turblence, encompassed wholly and thoroughly the dusty, unattended, dirty, untouched apartment building of one youthful, handsome yet very homely aspiring author of many tomes Report Siht, as he descended with a blindingly powerful glowing aura of casualty and sensual smoothness onto the slowly revolving Mid-Century Modern armchair that was currently situated betwixt and between his beige-coloured, antiquated digital binary computation machine and analysis device. The writer being spoken of gently placed beside his body the worn thesaurus (a thesaurus, of course, being a large tome containing lists of synonyms and antonyms), slowly yellowing and fading with the slow, constant passage of time, he had been delving into, he lowered his slender, pale fingers onto the black keyboard, his creaseless, silky hands striking the small intractable keys in quick succession while scrutinizing his search for a four-syllable phrase that is, to him worthy enough in all its purple glory to be written into his new masterpiece of literature to a veteran musician in search for the perfect melody to play to the masses, as they are entranced by the narcotic tune. But as he continued, at a tempo that only the smallest of snails could possibly envy, to turn through page after page after page of his wide, thick-as-a-doorstopper tome of words that he usually refers to as a thesaurus, he, over the course of hundreds of pages, begins to conceptualize that what was previously his treasure chest of multisyllabic vocabulary is now wholly exhausted, having used in some way each and every one of the words in some form or another. An "avarice" here, a "defenestrate" there, occasionally an "egregious" hiding somewhere within his vast, vast body of purple literature. He swiftly and instantly put down his once sacred book, and slowly, with a profoundly resigned look on his pale face, sighed in the general direction of his desktop-based computer machine, which, as you know, he is presently attempting to write his most ultraviolet magnum-opus.

Yeah. Just don't do it, okay? Quantity =/= quality, and thesaurus abuse is a crime punishable by flogging.

I, quetzalcoatl, reserve the right to kick you out of the roleplay at any time. I also reserve the right to report you, to reject your profile, and all that nasty stuff you don't like.

Finally, no godmoding, no sues, no auto-hitting.

Actually, I should say no auto-dodging, because a lot of people seem to think their characters are ninjas who can dodge bullets and knives and fistfight with a polar bear and win. Your character is a normal person. Your character is human. Your character will be hurt and will probably end up dead. I won't give you a mulligan if your character is killed of, and I won't pity you. As this is a realistic roleplay, your character can and will be scratched, dented, broken, killed. If you venture too far out of the realm of believability, (there is no plot armor here) I will speak up.

This includes knowledge only available above the fourth wall, (that couldn't be written off as 'a good guess') constantly dodging punches and winning fights, unrealistic characters, etc.

*This is the very bottom of the barrel, the bare minimum of what we'll accept. If you can pull together something better than that, then you're welcome here.

(You're supposed to post questions in the OOC thread, but it hardly matters right now.)

Yes. All the roles except the profiler are open and you're free to take them. Look over the profile thread for more information on the characters. Also, please post your questions in the OOC/plot thread. Not that I don't enjoy the bumps, it's just to keep this thread clean.

...Did you even read the plot? The age of the son should be between 8 and 10, I don't know which character you're using as a playby, (though I assume the taller one) and this was supposed to be posted in the profile thread.

EDIT
Oh. Oh oh oh oh oh. I'm sorry Gifted, I didn't realize I hadn't posted the rules. They're up now, if you could revise your profile and submit it on the profile thread? Sorry sorry sorry. >>;
