Back in the day, (this is 06-07) we did an rp called "Nightmare Castle", in which OCs and characters had all gathered in a castle where your greatest fears are realized, all for reasons none of them knew. Though, after Kemana, Reya-chan, Miracle_Flame_Alchemist left for reasons(each their own), the rp died down and has since been closed. I used the characters Kakashi Hatake from Naruto and Shigure Sohma from Fruits Basket. Soon, I made my characters leave the castle because I was leaving the rp(which was one of the last posts in the whole topic). Recently, it's even been closed due to inactivity. So, I've decided to make a 2nd topic now that Kemana is back. Razzy will return, and there are a few people that I'd allow into the castle. We need people to replace Reya-chan and Miracle_Flame_Alchemist. I assume Kari_Neko and Mat-mat will be the ones~ So, here's the basic storyline:

A year ago, certain people were brought together in the Nightmare Castle. Most of those people hated each other's guts and didn't get along, but eventually developed friendships like no other~ But soon, the people were removed as odd as they were brought. One year later, the same people(and some others) were brought back to deal with their new nightmares.

Notes:
-The Nightmare Castle is known for causing people to experience their worst fears/nightmares. We've also experienced randomly placed objects for convenience, such as a couch in the kitchen.
-We do have one liners, that was a popular thing in the last one.
-If you see someone else is posting, don't post. If you do, check the post above you. The other person could have posted first, changing the possible outcome of your post, so check so you cane dit your post accordingly.


Characters and their stories (so you know who you're dealing with)

Little Washu's Characters

Kakashi Hatake from the anime/manga Naruto
Appearance: http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc16/ch..._Kakashi003.jpg
Age: 26
A teacher from a faraway ninja village. His mysterious Sharingan eye allows him to see hidden meanings and read minds. His first reason for coming to the Nightmare Castle was a mission from the 3rd Hokage to investigate. Now, Tsunade has sent him back to re-investigate and gather new findings. He's generally quiet, and occasionally friendly. An old friend of Shigure's, last time he help monitored Shigure to make sure he never transformed, and carries Shigure's spare clothes.

Shigure Sohma from the anime/manga Fruits Basket
Appearance: http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc16/ch...llershichan.jpg
Age: 29
As you know, if he's hugged by someone of the opposite sex, he turns into a dog for about 10 minutes. But when he transforms back, he's naked(which is why Kakashi has his spare clothes). Last time, Akito Sohma sent Shigure to the Nightmare Castle to investigate a possible cure for the Zodiac Curse.

Razzy's Characters

Heather:
Age: 7
Appearance: [no image available] Heather has short brown hair, pulled up in two pigtails, and bright green eyes. She wears a yellow dress and sneakers.
Bio: Heather lives in a disorderly suburban town. Her mother, father, and twin sister were killed when their house burned down. The fire was apparently started by an amateur alchemist (alchemy had been brought through the gate and had spread like wildfire through Heather's town and neighboring towns), which is the cause of her fear of fire (and uneasiness toward alchemy). Heather was saved by her (and her sister's) hired body guard, Vincent. She sees her cousin Victoria (who she calls Vicky) as a sister. She now lives with Victoria and Victoria's parents (Heather's aunt and uncle).
Personality: She is very inquisitive and energetic.

Victoria:
Age: 13
Appearance: [no image available] Victoria has shoulder-length dark brown hair (so dark brown that it almost looks black) and blue-grey eyes. She wears a blue t-shirt and denim jeans. She is slender, and grudgingly admits that she is bit short for her age.
Bio: Victoria lives with her mother, father, and little cousin Heather.
Personality: Victoria seems cold when you first meet her, but she is actually shy once you look past her toughness. She is outspoken and can be brutally honest at times. She scolds Heather often. This makes her come across as a mean person, but she's only tough on Heather because she's worried about her "crazy little cousin".

How/why they entered Nightmare Castle:
Heather was walking through the woods near her town and discovered a strange castle that had never been there before. She entered the castle out of curiosity. Victoria's mother (Heather's aunt), ready to call Heather inside for dinner, discovered that her niece was missing, and told Victoria to find her. Victoria looked everywhere, and eventually looked through the woods and stumbled upon Nightmare Castle.

Howl from the movie Howl's Moving Castle
Appearance: http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc16/chisame-h/gu1.jpg
Age: Unknown
The ruler of a magical moving castle and a magician.
How/why he entered Nightmare Castle:
Searching for new portals to escape from the Witch of the Waste (who was looking for Howl in order to steal his heart), Howl discovered an unusual portal that led to a field of flowers. In the field stood Nightmare Castle.

Mat-mat's Characters

Name: Alphonse Wheeler
Age: 18
Appearance: This, but imagine him with lighter brown hair. He wears a white button up shirt and brown jacket, khaki pants, and a small black top hat.
Bio: He was born in the streets of London with his younger brother, Allen. They lived togther, begging for life scraps until when he was eight and was separated from him. He was later adopted by a man named Johnathon, who helped him learn how to fight and how to use a little alchemy. He's extremely bright, and now just travels around.

Kemana's Characters

Name: Danielle Anne Aurion Elric Mustang(just call her Danielle, it`s easier. But what ever you do DO NOT call her Dani)
Appearance: Danielle and Spirit(ignore him) (base edit of her and spirit... I`m not adding in Spirit so just ignore him)
Age: 17(is actually MUCH older, but this is the age she chooses to appear)
Very sickly wife of Edward Elric. She coughs up blood at times due to missing organs from bringing back Ed and Al from death using alchemy. She is host to the Goddess of Fate whom after her time of practice she has come to control better than she used to. Her parents were human, but for some reason she was born a wolf in human form(as seen in the original Nightmare Castle, she turns into a wolf)Her family members(except her and Ed) were left untouched by the castle this time. She gave up her ninja garb to hide her identity, now she dresses...in VERY revealing clothing. She stopped dying her hair brown & wearing brown contacts, revealing bright red hair & beautiful blue eyes. The relationship between her and Ed has NOT been doing since their last visit to Nightmare Castle. Not only that but another love from the past comes to haunt her....

Name: Redemption
Appearance: Redemption(crappy old drawing... I need to re-draw her.)
Age: Unknown(appears same age as Danielle)
Danielle`s homunculus. She`s very flirtatious and pervy. She lives inside of Danielle`s body and basically possess her when Danielle has her guard down. When possessed Danielle`s body changes to looking like Redemption`s body. During the original Nightmare Castle she often flirted with Kakashi, even kissing him at one point. Redemption will flirt with any guy that she finds attractive.

Name: Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist
Appearance(should I REALLY have to put this for him? ) : Ed
Age: 18
Danielle`s husband. He and Danielle haven`t been getting along so well, they`ve been getting in to fights more and more often. He has a bad feeling about returning to Nightmare Castle, but he follows his wife to insure her safety. At one point they almost got a divorce over a simple misunderstanding. Despite this he still loves her deeply and doesn`t want her to put herself in danger.

Franken Stein from Soul Eater(I just call him Stein-kun)
Appearance:Stein without glasses With Glasses shirtless (you aren`t just imagining the bolt/screw)
Age: 25(I don`t know if this is his age in the series or not... T.T; )
Old lover of Danielle`s. He`s VERY crazy. After some...unmentionable events Danielle was force to flee where she stayed with him. He did not come to Nightmare Castle to find her...that`s just an added bonus that he doesn`t know of yet. He was sent to investigate it by Shinigami-sama, the leader of Shibusen. He loves to dissect living and dead things(I think he prefers living) including his old partner Spirit. He truely loved Danielle and wanted nothing more than her happiness, but something happened and he went crazy(er) and he betrayed her.

Might add more later...but I can only stare at the same page for so long...; I did the different styles so you can tell where one character ends and another begins.

Hmm...I'm tempted to join...

...Aw, what the hell? I'll join ^^ I'll post my character profiles later. Heh.

I'm so glad NMC is back. <3 I missed it. ;-;

I have a question...
Are we going to post our characters' stories of how they got out of the castle, their lives afterward, and how they returned to the castle? I think that would be interesting. >w>

^I think the characters would eventually mention that to each other :3 I'll add your characters profiles now~

Shall we get this party started?

I would say so~ Razzy and Mat-mat aren't on now, but when they do, they can catch up :3

...I'm right here, Washu...

So you are, so you are. Well then, I don't usually start, so anyone feel free~

Danielle walks slowly toward the large doors of the castle with Ed close be hind. She gulped. 'Here we go again...' she thought. Her fears had changed much from the last time...but now darker fears haunted her mind. She reached out her shaking hand and touched the door.

Alphonse looked up at the scenery with amazement. He had heard about the castle from many people before, but seeing face to face was something of wonder. He was behind Ed and Danielle, so he waited for them to open the door before he even thought about going inside.

"I see the whole gang is back so far ^^" A cheery voice said from behind them.

"I'm sure it's merely coincidence..." Another voice said in a slow drawl. "I see new people too..."

Alphonse turned around to see who was speaking. He lifted his top hat so that he could see everything, and saw two figures behind him.

"Hello? Who's there?"

Danielle turned quickly. "Kakashi! Shigure! It`s so good to see you again!" She gave them a warm smile.

Ed snorted. The little guy seemed to be in a foul mood.

"It is quite lovely to meet with you again~" Shigure said happily. Kakashi smiled and nodded. "Here again I see?" The dog-man asked.

Alphonse just blinked as the two groups just talked. He kept staring at the castle and the people, wondering what was their connection with this place.

Ed just looked away from them, his mood worsening.

Danielle looked at Alphonse and smiles, "So...who are you?"

Al turned around and smiled. "Alphonse, it's a pleasure to meet you, um....." he said as he took off his top hat and bowed.

"Pleasure to meet you, Shigure Sohma." Shigure smiled and extended a hand.

"Kakashi Hatake." Kakashi said calmly.

"You`re so polite." She turns to Ed and the smile fades from her face. "...Ed..."

Ed says nothing and walks into the castle.

"Thank you."

Alphonse said as he shook Shigure's hand. "Can you answer a question for me? Have you ever been inside the castle before?"

"We certainly have." Shigure said. "It was like a..."

"Like a Nightmare?" Kakashi asked, seemingly lighthearted.

"Exactly."

Danielle sighes, " Yes... we`ve seen more of it than we`d like to.... Don`t mind Ed...he`s been in a foul mood lately...we`ve been...fighting."

"I see, and I'm sorry about you two fighting."

Alphonse said with a warm smile. "If it's like a nightmare for all of you, then why are you here again? Isn't it miserable in there?"

"Oh really? I'm sorry to hear that." Kakashi said.

"Well, there are arguments in every relationship. I'm sure you two will be as close as ever from them~" Shigure said, happy as ever.

"I wonder if we'll see those nice girls again...Heather and Victoria..." Kakashi asked.

"Aha, and Howl?"

"No thank you."

Danielle looked at her feet, "I...want to face my fears..."

"I see. Well, I guess you're in the right place."

Alphonse said grinning.

"Definitely. After you did, you seemed to be able to find a way to get out." Shigure said.

"Then that must mean that you have new fears to face..." Kakashi said to Danielle quietly.

Danielle`s eyes filled with saddness,"...I think... Ed and I might not be together much longer.... I can`t get him to open up to me anymore..."

"That's sad. Maybe in here, it might get better. You never know."

Alphonse said smiling warmly putting his hand on Danielle's shoulder.

"I'm sorry to hear that." Shigure frowned. Being a writer of Romance novels, he could tell how serious the situation was.

"Or...it could be worse.... I can tell...someone is here.... Someone who may completely break us apart."

"Well, I guess the only way to find out is to face it."

Al said looking at the castle.

"Really...then we'll just have to get him first." Shigure smiled warmly.

"I'd love to see you try..." Kakashi muttered under his breath.

"I heard that."

' Stein-kun...what are you planning for me?' She thought solomly as she walked into the castle.

Al walked right next Danielle inside the castle. So, I'm about to face my deepest fears...if only Allen was here. he thought to himself as he stared into the inside of the castle.

"I guess Heather and Victoria wont be coming..." Kakashi said sadly. "Well, it's just as well. Probably better they didn't."

"So let's get a move on eh?" Shigure said, walking ahead of his friend.

"Too much energy..."

Danielle looked around for her husband, who was no where to be seen. Suddenly the red markings of Redemption appeared on her body.

Redemption looked around and smirked. "Oh, looky Ed isn`t around."

"Danielle, are you feeling ok?"

Al said blinking at the red marks. This was new for him.

"Here we go again..." Kakashi said, inching away from Redemption.

Instead of running to Kakashi, she walked over to Shigure with a smirk on her face "Hi there," was all she said.

"Um...Kakashi, wasn't it? Can you explain what's going on here?"

Al asked blinking at Redemption.

"Oh, haha, hello there ^^U" Shigure laughed.

"Long story..." Kakashi answered.

Redemption kissed Shigure. She smirked at Alphonse. "And who might you be?"

"The name's Alphonse. It's...a pleasure to meet you miss."

Al said blinking and bowing.

"You might want to leave." Kakashi said to Alphonse. "Unless you'd like to be deflowered. Anyway, I have a mission to do, so if you'll excuse me..." Kakashi said, walking into the castle. "C'mon, Shigure."

"Coming!" Shigure yelled, running to the door.

"I'm right behind you..."

Alphonse said getting as close to the two as possible. What the heck have I gotten myself into?

Redemption crossed her arms and pouted as she followed them.

"This could be treacherous..." Kakashi thought.

"Heh heh..." Shigure laughed nervously.
