It's a game you can't control.

Years after the defeat of Asura, the world is left in utter chaos with Death the Kid taking over his father's position. Meisters and weapons alike are viewed as horrible creatures by the humans and soon forced into the shadows, along with something bubbling below the surface, Death City is slowly crumbling around his feet. With the new rise of a dark evil and the teens at stake, he only has one choice left.

Things you need to know -

The timeframe will take place several years into the future with Death the Kid and other characters from his generation as adults. The story will mainly revolve around Ocs and a few other canon characters. Please don't get upset if you see something not happening exactly the same way because this is a work of fiction and I will be adapting and editing the universe as I see fit. You'll notice a lot of new changes and adaptions, though the general scheme will remain the same.

I'm not looking for copies of the original characters or a bunch of canon character children. Please come up with whatever kind of OC you'd like. I am looking for a minimum of 4 meisters and 4 weapons, but I may accept more than that. You can submit more than one character but keep in mind that I might not accept all of your OCs.

You can submit a witch or dark character, but I'm not really looking for many of those so please don't overwhelm that idea.

The students of main focus will be your ocs who are bumped up from NOT to EAT due to the decreasing numbers of students in attendance and the increasing death rate of EAT students in the last year or so.

RULES AND FORM AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CHAPTER AND ON MY PROFILE.

Disclaimer: I do not own Soul Eater, but if I did, you guys would be the first to know. ;D

Rating/Warnings: Language, mentions of death, angst, destruction, canon violence, adult themes, and gore.

Intro -

Boy Meets Evil.

A dark figure sat alone in a single chair in the center of a transparent platform, hauled up in the deafening silence that was now his "office" of sorts. His mind swirled with looming thoughts that weighed him down. How could he be chosen for this position? How could he, out of all people be the one to take this over? He had no clue what he was even doing here.

It had been years since he first stepped foot in this very space, back when he was just a haphazard and misguided teen with a flair for getting himself into all kinds of trouble with his twin weapon partners and equally rambunctious friends. Back then, all those years ago, he was all but mesmerized by the sheer power and beauty this room held. The title that came with the beholder. Now, he was anything but interested in going anywhere near here. Death Weapon Meister Academy had changed, way more than he'd like to admit, though even his silence on the matter was evident to everyone who even glanced at the once perfect place. It lacked something-something that he himself could never get back. Maybe it was his father who once held the respected and utterly noble title or even the lost souls that once inhabited this facility. He wasn't even sure himself of what that thing was, but something important was missing, and that was the truth of the matter.

Though his eyes were hidden behind a familiar black and white mask, he could clearly see the darkness and destruction that devastated his world- his people, as his eyes traced every movement made on the screen that he dubbed the "window to the soul." This once beautiful and lavish sanctuary that he called home was crumbling to pieces around his feet, and he felt like the cause of it all as he had no choice but to sit back numbly and watch the world burn.

Calloused hands from years of hardships reached up and grip the edges of the tough material, and with nimble fingers, removed the offending shield from his face. Cold and tired auburn orbs blinked from the change in focus, as his worn down expression graced the empty room around him.

Death the Kid- No, Lord Death, stared emotionlessly down at the mask in his hands, thumbing over the material with thought. This mask symbolized more than he could ever fathom, this mask was his whole world now. This mask meant that he was now in charge in more ways than one and had to hold the utmost of responsibilities on his shoulders without bowing down and giving in. It meant that he had to do something, anything to help. It also meant that the blame for the terrible state of his world fell onto him and him alone.

He couldn't let things continue to go on like this or everyone in this world would meet a bitter end. He had to save these teens under his care and the fate of humankind. But so much was happening at once- too much was going on for him to control. It was way out of hand and had been that way for a while, and it was only getting worse day by day.

Collateral damage, right?

A bitter chuckle bubbled up inside of his chest and escaped from his dry throat to fall from his lips and echo around him. That's what they were calling it right? The deaths of thousands, the kidnappings of his meisters and weapons, everything was labeled as collateral damage because the humans were too afraid even to bother to help. They turned their heads in the opposite directions with their pact to look the other way and ignore the obvious. They didn't care what happened to the good people as long as they were safe and Lord Death tiptoed around their world. He had to force his students into hiding just to keep them safe from what were the gentlest of all creatures that now had reared their heads to show ugly and horrid souls. The gentle creatures - humans - weren't gentle at all. They were the real monsters that were forcing everything to slowly get worse.

He had to control something. He had to do things one step at a time; there wasn't any other way. Kid had to do something now.

Rules

1. Submit your OC through PM only. I'll skip over all OCs submitted through review. Your PM title should be, "OC Name, Meister or Weapon, and affiliation (Good, evil, neutral, etc.)" This goes for any OC you submit. If you submit two characters, then send them each on their own PM. So, for example (Jane Doe, Weapon, Good). If you're submitting a side character or villain, then please put "OC Name, Affiliation."

2. Please follow the story so you can keep up with updates.

3. Active readers only! So try to keep up with chapters and review at least every few updates.

4. No Gary Stus or Mary Sues. Understand that everyone has faults, so that includes your OC. If your OC's persona is "perfect," I can understand that, however, give them some faults for development.

5. You can submit multiple OCs but understand that I might not accept all of your characters.

6. You can't reserve a spot for your OC. However, this isn't first come first serve. Everyone has a fair chance of getting accepted.

7. No OP characters, give them weaknesses and make them realistic. I don't want you to tell me your characters is a witch, kishin, meister who can also turn into a weapon and is related to death the kid. Don't go overboard here. Don't tell me your character has a ton of "special abilities" such as summoning powers, as well as superhero like abilities/powers. This is not a superhero fic or even a superhero universe so please don't send in a character that can summon gods and goddesses and use rare fire bending techniques, etc. So yes, I'll be completely skipping over ocs like this. Of course, the exception to some of this would be Witches and kishin, but don't go overboard with them either. I'll be a little lenient in this section because this is the Soul Eater universe, but keep in mind that every character has weaknesses.
