GUILTY ACT
It was all a blur, the judge raised his gavel and hammered it down as he stared right at you, into your soul.
You knew what was coming.
"Guilty." He proclaimed as the murmuring among the jury continued. The prosecutor looked so smug as the defense attorney sighed.
You forget how many years you'd be serving as the judge had one more thing to say to you. "For your crimes, you shall be spending the rest of your sentence in Styx." he narrowed his eyes as you spotted the grip on the gavel loosen. "Be glad it's not Tartarus. Dismissed. Court adjourned." with one another three whacks from his gavel, it was all over.
A brief thought of "maybe I can escape?" went through your mind, but with security, that might be a problem.
"Come on criminal, let's take you to your new home." one of the guards grabbed you and began to pull you away.
Your old life was over. Whatever you've done, whatever happened. It was all stripped away.
A criminal's life was what awaited you.
The drive to the prison was...quiet. Peaceful even, but that was because you were the only one on the prison bus.
Looking out the window you saw it.
Styx.
One of the best prisons in the world, a high security prison that was on par with Tartarus. Unlike Tartarus however, this prison wasn't for the worst of the worst, it had a wider variety of prisoners: killers, thieves, frauds, vigilantes, villains, etc. Compared to Tartarus, it was pretty much a normal prison. It was still leagues better than any normal prison however.
There was one difference with Styx though with any normal prison, and that was the simple fact that Styx was a co-ed prison. Yes, co-ed.
Styx was split into two halves, the male prison and the female prison. Genders while separated, were able to interact in the middle of the prison. That area was even more guarded than the other areas. Apparently from the briefing as you were on your way, the guard told you a bit about it.
Both halves of Styx had the normal prison requirements: cells, showers, kitchen, gym, outdoor stuff. But in the middle of the prison, where it really shined as it had all of those things (save for the showers), and a bit more variety to them. Like more gym equipment, more food, etc. as well as some extra benefits in terms of clothing, for example.
However, the co-ed areas were more guarded than the other two areas.
Best to stay on your toes, you thought.
The bus came to the halt and your thoughts were back to fact you were a criminal now. Getting off the bus, and being taken to the side of the prison you were assigned to, you saw both male and female guards chatting with each other and the thing that caught your eye was right above you.
Upon entering the prison, you gazed at the logo STYX and under it, it said: Rien Faire.
Rien Faire was apparently the motto for the prisoners, you vaguely remember a guard saying that it was French or something for 'Do Nothing'.
In the assigned changing area, you were forced to put on your prisoner's outfit and before you knew it, you were being lead to your cell.
A guard waved their hand and pulled the cell door open, it...wasn't like a normal cell. It was more of a room with a cell door attached to it. You even got a better look at the guard's uniform. Dark green pants and a buttoned up jacket of the same colour, looked to be more akin to the military than a guard. Knee-high black boots with matching coloured military cap to go with it. It honestly looked more like it came out of the second world war.
The guard gave you a look as you entered your cell. Hearing the locking behind you, you just stood there as the realization seeped in, forcing you to crash onto the bed.
"You're a criminal."
Hey, so uh. Another My Hero Academia story from me, and a SYOC to boot. So without further ado. Welcome to Styx! Guilty Act! A story about criminals in prison. I got some of my own characters that I will be placing in here. Below are the rules and form (which will also be on my profile). The deadline is around the end of November, the 30th, for submitting characters before it closes.
Please keep in mind that despite the opening, not all OCs will be immediate prisoners/new arrivals (if they are prisoners), some might actually be in the prison for a couple of years already (also keep in mind, that even though the perspective is from a prisoner, I am accepting guards). Please take your time in creating an OC, I won't be picking any OCs until the deadline passes, so you all got plenty of time.
However if need be, I will be extending the deadline past the 30th. Most likely with an update into sometime in December. Have fun!
[Rules]
#1 - No overly OP characters or the Mary Sue types. Basically, don't make your character a paragon of perfection. It's a prison full of criminals, go wild.
#2 - Please keep your submission in a single PM thread.
#3 - On that, please title your PM: Guilty Act - "You're character's name here.". It makes things easier.
#4 - Now this is an odd rule: no recycled characters. Basically if your OC is in an active story, I won't accept them or if you put them into another story (while this story is going and your character is accepted) I will either not accept them, or that character might fade away from the story without any trace (if accepted). So try to keep your character simply here.
#5 - An extension of the previous rule: if the story your OC is in has been discontinued (for more than six months - a year or longer) or if the creator has specifically said they discontinued the story. (also, please inform me of the discontinued story.)
#6 - Please take note that SYOCs can take a while for chapters to come out. Especially if more than one project is being worked on. (I'm only saying this, due to seeing some people complain that a SYOC discontinued...after a week before the second chapter came out.)
#7 - Please avoid putting OCs in the review section. It spoils the whole character and they will not be picked.
#8 - To make the form a bit cleaner, please remove the parentheses I added.
