All stories have a beginning and an ending.
Sometimes both are happy.
Sometimes both are devastating.
Another thing all stories have is a stage 0.
A stage where there is only an idea and a feeling.
Stage 0 is often mistaken for some kind of useless bit to be skipped but you, my child, will be much more educated than those swines.
Yes. . .
because you ARE what makes stage 0.
An idea supported with a feeling.
Ah, but you are also much more important.
You don't even know it yet.
Hm. . .
Who am I?
Well, I am but a set of words, darling.
Forget all about me for the stage is finally set.
Now, sweetie, if you would please turn your attention to the beauty that is. . .
STAGE 0
[ Stage 0: You Had One Job - Begin ]
There is a time when someone gets completely fed up with someone or something that they suddenly start to spew nonsense to no one in particular and just looks like a complete buffoon.
Ryusaki, Rosanjin is currently at that point with the stupid gate to the Pasuteru estate that he and whoever else was invited were to be staying before they were to attend any of the great schools in the Kureijī region. In Rosanjin's case it was Taiga Ashi, the great school for athletes. Well, technically, he wasn't an athlete himself but actually the Ultimate Kickboxing Coach despite being fairly good at the actual sport. He just prefered teaching rather than just doing so it made at least a little bit of sense.
"Stupid gate! Can't even perform your one job correctly! I mean, how hard is it to just accept this dumb frickly-fracklin' ID card that came with this even dumber tic-tacing invitation in a pretty cute pastel yellow color. I didn't think they knew my favorite color. But, back to you being be the dumbest, scummiest gate that I have ever met!" Rosanjin yells at the gate while waving and pointing to add emphasis to his words but in reality it just made him look like a very cute and angry elf who had mental issues.
He finally stops yelling and just huffs as he adjusts the bag on his shoulder. Maybe he should have asked the man in the limo to wait instead of yelling at him for not stopping at the place he likes with the great milkshakes. Then he wouldn't be stranded with a whole bunch of bags he packed and no way of contacting anyone. (His parents confiscated his phone so he wouldn't complain to them about everything being that is was hella spoiled and a prissy brat.) He stomps his left foot in frustration before brushing some strawberry blond curls out of his face. This all was just so irritating and stupid.
"..Plus it's cold out here." He mumbles, hugging himself for more warmth. He did have on a sweater and a hoodie on along with a scarf but still managed to be freezing. He sniffles and rubs his even more irritated eyes. "Dumb contacts. I still can hardly see." He reaches into bag and pulls out his glasses case then proceeds to open said case and puts on his glasses. He blinks to adjust then smiles brightly once he can see better.
"Ah! Much better." He chirps as he puts the case away while searching for his ID card again. He groans and whines for a while while searching before squealing once he finds it. He shuffles towards the card reader and realizes something very embarrassing.
He was putting the card in wrong.
He glances at the gate before clearing his throat. "Uh..well. I apologize, Mr. Gate. Turns out this was all just a big misunder- Wait, am I really apologizing to a gate? ..Maybe I do need to take medication." He shakes his head and inserts the card correctly this time and the gate opens with ease. He grabs his to rolling bags and makes sure he still has his backpack and the messanger bag before stepping through the gate.
He couldn't even look around at the gardens and the exterior because as soon as the gate closed behind him, a large pain like a 20 ton weight falling onto your head hit him and he starts to scream but he can only fall to the earth as his eyes closed like a baby falling asleep for a long, long nap.
A/N: This chapter was hella dumb. I had this idea for a cool, athletic and sexy kinda guy, but then my fingers typed up Rosanjin Ryusaki or Ryusaki, Rosanjin whichever you prefer. If I'm being completely honest, I really don't think this will turn out good but I'll try my hardest to make something worth submitting to and reading. This was purposely short, as it is only an introductory chapter or stage 0. Other chapters will be longer than this I promise but more length also means more time to type. But winter break is coming so school won't get in the way so the update schedule can be at least a bit consistent. Look at me, already thinking ahead. But before I lose you I'll set some ground rules.
RULES
1. No forms in reviews will be looked at or accepted because for 1, everyone will know the inside and out of your character before the story even starts. Plus, I want reviews be filled with hate and constructive criticism.
2. No more than 2 submissions per person. There will be a total of 16 students including my oc so even if only 8 or 7 people submit, we still have a full roster.
3. No canon talents please. No ? either unless you have a good reason for it.
4. It isn't first-come, first-served because I, no matter how much I deny it, am a very hard judge on everything. I try not to be but it is true. So take your time to make a wonderful character you wish to submit to the hell that is the Killing Game.
5. There are 8 female slots and 7 male slots but if your character is non binary or genderfluid or trans or anything else, let me know and also tell me if you want them under male or female or just in another category altogether. 'Cause equality, yo.
6. Please fill out everything and tell when if you don't understand something so I can explain it.

Now that that's done, I'll go into more detail about the great schools. There is one for Knowledge, one for Athletics, one for Performing Arts, one for Technology and one for Service.
The one for Knowledge is called, Eregantona Fukurō. It includes talents in subjects like science, math, literature, etc. Example talents being: Architect, Botanist, Biochemist, or Poet.
The Athletics school is, as previously mentioned, Taiga Ashi. This school it for talents in physical areas. Examples being: Boxer, Football Player, Hockey Coach, or Body Builder.
The Performing Arts school is called Geijutsu Tenshi. It's for talents in areas of gymnastics or anything involving a stage or just artistic things really. Examples are: Movie Director, Playwright, Acrobat, or Actor/Actress.
The Technology school is probably the minority. It's called Haiteku Tatsujin. It's talents are in, you guessed it, fields of computer or gaming or animation. Examples: Hacker, Computer Engineer, Animator, or Otome Game Creator.
Lastly, there is Chūjitsuna Sābu which is for serving talents. Talents involving helping others really. Examples are: Assistant, Maid/Butler, Chef, or Chauffeur.
That's really all there is to it to the schools. Most of this will be on my profile so you can have better access to it. I do hope you submit a character!
