Train of Shadows
Twilight Relation: There are vampires in the other {Shadow} realm.
*Plot*
Once there was a world known to many; Its name was Earth. This world thrived and prospered, and many watched as it mantained life over the course of millions of years. The most sucessful species, humans, ruled the land with no fear. However, they forgot one thing.
They were not the only ones that existed in this universe.
There once was a small town huddled in a hillside in England. Not many people bothered with or knew about that town, but it was a nice and peaceful place to live at. There was green grass and meadows as far as the eye could see. There was also bright forests that lined the horizon, and a large hill where one could watch the sunset as the vibrant colors cascaded over the twilight sky. There was a creek that ran through the forest, and provided a source of water to the people in the town. The forest contained many twists and turns of old, worn out, and downtrodden paths. Old rusted train tracks cut through the forest, and an abandoned railroad station stood on the borderline of the forest.
14 year old, Chisa Inira, has always wanted to see a train pass through the old tracks, but her mother had to remind her that the last time a train passed through was over a century ago. One day, Chisa and a few of her friends decide to play down by the railroad tracks. They began to throw a ball back and forth, playing a game of catch. They squeal in laughter. Everything seems like a perfect evening, but it becomes a nightmare in a second. The breeze picks up and the trees start to sway. Chisa throws on her jacket and calls it quits, but a loud whistle screeched in the distance. "Run!" Chisa screamed, and her and her friends stumbled off the railroad. A shadowy train appeared, riding the tracks like a creature prowling in the darkness.
This train was like no else. The whistle sounded once more, and ghostly dark smoke blew from the pipe at the top.
It was indeed, a train made from darkness and shadows. A train that may change Chisa and her friends life forever.
"Ticket, Please."
*Important Notes*
-The shadow train leads into an alternate realm much like earth, however, the people who inhabit this place are shadows/spirits.
-Upon entering the shadow realm, you cannot re-enter the train back to earth unless you find the key.
-All shadow people resemble something specific.
-Staying with shadow people or mingling with them can slowly make you one as well.
-After entering the realm, you must look for a key that unlocks the train door. Without this key, there is no hope of ever returning.
-Shadow people don't have names, but when they shape-shift to humans, they use an alias.
-Some of the shadow people can take forms of regular humans, vampires, or animals, watch out!

*Current Characters*
Name: Chisa Inira
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Bio: As a young girl, Chisa had always been interested in the stars and the moon. She had always wondered if there was another place out there besides Earth. Her parents discouraged her interests and studies, but she persisted with them anyways. After moving to her current town, she had become more interested in the old train tracks, and had always longed for a train to pass through. Her parents still discouraged her, never the less, but the flames in her eyes were never distinguished.
Personality: She's very childish, despite her age. She always complains when things don't go her way, and she loves to be the boss of things. She can be very clumsy at times, and bad at decision making, but that doesn't mean she can't be loving and caring. She finds her friends precious, and would do anything to save or help them.

Name: Esther Darc
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Bio: Esther was always a curious girl, and she always one to believe that there was more that just them, humans. There had to be other things out there too. She loves to read, especially about myths and legends, which even spiked her belief in the supernatural and other things even more.
Her parents always encouraged her imagination, but they never knew that she was interested in the train tracks, and they'd rather she wasn't.
Personality: She's a cheerful kind of girl, but he mood can change. She can be pretty distant and quite shy, and she only trusts certain people
Name: Kaito Nakamura
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Bio: Kaito's parents died in an accident 7 years ago. His older brother, Shin, is the one who takes care of him. Even as a kid he had a huge imagination. Ghosts, other dimensions, pirates,romance, you name it. Kaito would always tell stories that he came up with to his parents. His parents, being fiction writers, encouraged his imagination. However, his brother did not. Once their parents died, Shin didn't allow Kaito to say any more of his 'stories' and instead got him to play violin. Kaito loves playing the violin and is one of the few things he is very serious about. Kaito has always been curious about the train tracks, but not as much as the others.
Personality: Kaito is a very loud, bright and happy guy. He is very simple-minded and finds a lot of things to be fascinating. He has a lot of energy... too much actually. He could run around for hours and not get tired. It's practically impossible to make him mad. He's always smiling and forgiving to anyone who does his wrong. Kaito comes off as a careless fool a lot. He does have his sweet moments and hates it when people are sad- especially if it's someone he cares about. He is very protective of the ones he loves. Kaito is very imature sometimes and is always scolded by his older brother. Nobody has ever seen this kid cry or get mad.
Played by: Ran-chan
Alias: Mei
Shape-shifter or vampire?: Shape-shifter
If shape-shifter, what does it shape-shift into?: Human; Raven
Friend or foe of the humans?: Nobody knows. She acts like their friend sometimes but sometimes doesn't.
Backstory/History: Aya hardly remembers anything about her past. She doesn't know wether she died or if she stayed with the shadows too long. All she knows for sure is that she was human. Sometimes she has small flashbacks of her past. However it's usually small things like her being in a room (which she thinks was her bedroom) and two people arguing. She doesn't try to know more about her past. She loves anything black and usually comes off as a distant, shady, and dark person, which is one of the reasons people don't usually approach her.
Raven:
What does it resemble?: Secretive like a raven. Also tends to wear black a lot.
Played by: Ran-chan
Name: Alec Morgen
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Bio: Growing up, Alec was always a trickster and was very rarely serious. He loved to read Sci Fi stories and comic books, constantly marveling and wishing that he could be in one of those stories, coming alive as one of the characters and living a seperate life in another world. His mother discouraged the idea of his fantasies, but his father always patted him on the back, urging him to keep dreaming. Because, as his father said, dreams have strange ways of coming alive. When he heard the story of the Shadow Train, he was instantly amused and tagged along with Chisa to go to the train tracks.
Personality: He laughs at a lot, makes inappropriate jokes everynow and then, and often smiles to the point where it's contagious. He wouldn't harm a fly, and often trusts others to easily. He's kind, sweet, although his manners could be better...

Alias: Gweneth
Shape-shifter or vampire?: Vampire
Friend or foe of the humans?: She tends to sway back and forth depending on whether or not she is thirsty.
Backstory/History: Gweneth, unfortunately, doesn't remember any of her past life. Occasionally, she'll see images of bits and pieces of her childhood, but not enough to piece together anything important. Though she tries not to think of her past of the way she died, it constantly weighs in the back of her mind, beckoning her to discover more about herself. Gweneth tends to have a rude nature, which most likely keys back to her past. Because of being a vampire, it's hard for her to stay near humans for a long time. She wants to, sure, but most of them decide to stay away because of her aggressive nature and thirst for blood.

Alias: Vincent Duccan
Shape-shifter or Vampire?: Shape-shifter
If shape-shifter, what does it shape-shift into?: Human and a python
Friend or foe to the humans: Foe.
Back story/History: Unlike most shadows, Vincent remembers most of his past. He knows he was human, and that he had a younger sister. While being human, he cared for his sister a lot and often became too overly protective over her. His mother was diagnosed with tuberculosis and unfortunately died when he was a mere nine and his sister only seven. After his mother’s death, he became rude, sharp-tongued, and didn’t care for his sister as much as he should have at the time. His father was at a loss of what to do about Vincent, as he was hanging out with the wrong people and being in the wrong places. His father would strictly tell him to not hang out with those people or to not talk back to him as Vincent did so often, but Vince refused and continued to be rude and argumentative. He took the train to the Shadow Realm one breezy night and hung out with the shadows for too long, thus turning into one himself. Now, with the influence of other shadows, he hates humans, regrets being human, and hates to be near them. He’d much rather do without them in the Shadow Realm.

Alias: Angelica Mercury
Shape-shifter or vampire?: Shape-shifter
If shape-shifter, what does it shape-shift into?: Human; Rabbit
Friend or foe of the humans?: Foe
Backstory/History: Remarkably, Angelica remembers how she died and what her life as a human was like, but she hates that life and wished it was never there. She recalled the many times she would be hurt in school from insults and terrible comments, and she recalled the time when she was so mad that she took her anger out on her pet rabbit by beating. She ended up killing the rabbit, and she never forgave herself. She remembered when her little brother would scream and cry at her for hurting the rabbit. One day, she went down to the lake, where she boarded the local train. Sadly, the train crashed, and the passengers were all dead, including Angelica. What she saw before she died – was a black rabbit.
She can be very energetic and hyper, and she loves to cause trouble and hurt others. She also whines a lot and asks questions frequently. She also has a hard time staying on task, and she rambles on most of the time. She also is very childish, and loves candy.

He has perfect manners and is considered to be a very charming and friendly guy. He really is, but not to humans. He hates humans more than anything. Why? He envies them. As a human he wasted his life in doing nothing but please his family. Being the only heir to his families bussiness was not a good thing for him. He never experienced any fun and hardly went outside. One day, when his parents when his parents were gone, the house burst into flames. Axel had no time to escape and died in that fire. Nobody knows who caused it but it is certain that it was intentional. Axel remembers his past very clearly and has a big fear of fire.

Backstory/History: Amaya is Ichirou’s older sister, but only by two years. By the time Ichirou turned five, Amaya had a strange, almost eerie, obsession with him. She would constantly have to be by his side, rarely letting him play with his friends. She wanted him to be hers, and only hers. She would do anything to have him, even if it involved killing someone. After Ichirou’s death, Amaya couldn’t take the world without him in her life, and so she committed suicide. She is now the conductor for the train, and still has an obsession with him. One thing that she wouldn’t do, however, is tell Ichirou his past.

Alias: Atticus
Shape-shifter or vampire?: Vampire
Friend or foe of the humans?: Foe
Backstory/History: As a young child, Atticus was abandoned by his birth parents, and sent to an orphanage. This was mainly because his parents did not want him, not because of any disorders. He grew up there, but was always more violent than the other children. He made fun with dead animals that he found on the side of the street. He once brought a dead baby bird back to the orphanage to scare the other children. He was always described as morbid, downright insane, and sadistic. He was so mentally unstable that no one ever adopted him. At around age twelve, he began to go completely crazy. He was like this because he thought that no one would ever love him. At age sixteen, he committed suicide. Ever since then, he has lived in the shadow realm, and has been mentally corrupt, but manages to keep a low and steady profile there.

Angelica-
Angelica rolled her eyes dully. Gweneth was being smart about this. Instead, she bounded towards Gweneth, and whispered in her ear, "How are you and Ichirou been getting along? Has the vampire come to like the kitty? How romantic!" Angelica, who was now in her rabbit form, hopped up and stood on her hind legs, waiting for Gweneth. She hoped that the fake mockery would be enough to get her angry, and trail after her -- if that didn't work, she'd simply have to force her on. She sighed and twitched her whisker's waiting as if she had all the time in world to start this fight.
Ichirou-
Remarkable, Ichirou was able to control the urge to make the first move. He stood patiently in a defensive stance, waiting for Axel to throw the first blow. He wondered what the humans must be thinking. He grinned to himself. Ha! They must be scared to death. He thought of them a bit more, and chuckled. Even if they were friends to him, he felt the need to laugh at their foolishness sometimes. They could be stupid sometimes, he thought.
Chisa-
Chisa nodded and grabbed Alec's hand, standing up. She smiled and let out a simple, "Thank you." She remained quiet, leaning against a lamp post with her arms crossed, and her eyes slightly closed. She did not wish to watch this dreaded fight. Instead, she tried to fill her head with happy thoughts, but none seemed to come to her. Did this world block out anything happy? She asked herself in her head, with a slight giggle.

Please nobody forget about Felecia's characters. Destrian and her other character would end up fighting together, and that wouldn't be good!

Gweneth felt a rage boil up inside her, and she was sure that her face was turning bright red. "I dislike him," she spat. "In fact, this morning I almost threw him into the fireplace." At least it wasn't a complete lie. There was nothing romantic about her relationship with Ichirou. If they were in a relationship, it would be a very abusive one at that. "I'm not falling for it, Angelica," she told her. "So don't waste your time trying to trick me onto that rollercoaster. In case you haven't noticed, I've been having better control over my anger." She stuck her tongue out in a childish manner, but quickly stopped. Sticking her tongue out made her think that she was just as childish as Angelica, and she didn't like the feeling all that much.

Alec smiled at Chisa and sat down on the ground, resting his elbows on his thighs and his head in his hands. It was a shame, really. He was looking forward to going on all of the rides. Oh well. Hopefully now everything will be alright, and Ichirou, Destrian, Mei, and Gweneth won't get hurt. From the looks on everyone's faces, they were all taking this seriously. Well, perhaps not Ichirou. He looked rather happy to be in a situation such as this.
...Is it just my computer not showing Ran's reply, or is it another site glitch? :/

True, we have to let her characters fight with someone else's characters, it wouldn't be much fun otherwise.

Oh right! What should we do with Felecia's characters?Really? Ugh! I'll repost it then ^.^ Good thing I copied the reply before putting it down!
"Foxes are hunted down, because we cannot be tamed. Cat's on the other hand, are mere house pets for humans. Not even a human would bother to kill a cat. Even they need more of a challenge than that." Axel said as he looked at Ichirou, with a look of pity. "Maybe that's why you help these humans? You're weak, your friends are weak, and the humans are weak. As they say, birds of a feather flick together!" he said the last part with a laugh. "Well, I find that to be completely and utterly... disgusting." Axel said, running a hand through his white hair. He looked at Ichirou's fists. "Well then.." he said clearly amused as he shoved his hands in his pockets. "How about this? If you get me to use one hand, I'll give up hunting the humans.. for now." he said, ready to make the first move but he just wanted to heard Ichirou's reaction before he began. Axel always stuck to his word, but that didn't mean that he would give up hunting humans all togethers. Besides, even if by some miracle, Ichirou beat him, Angelica and Vincent weren't going to stop going after the humans just because Axel did. In fact, Axel has already calculated that the chances of the humans coming out of this amusement park alive were about 33.12%. How did he come down to those facts? Well, he knew that Gweneth was a good fighter but, he also knew that she was hot-headed. If Angelica pushed her far enough then Gweneth would be shrouded by rage, and that could be her downfall (even though it seemed like she was controlling it well-- so far). As for Mei, Axel knew that she wasn't the strongest fighter. Vincent would have no trouble getting to her. Now Ichirou, he didn't know much about Ichirou except for the fact thathe is a curious fellow. Of crouse, that wont help Axel beat him at all. However, Axel was a dreadfully good fighter. He used a lot of martial arts while he fought (something he learned and used back as a human).

Mei tilted her head to the side, because she didn't really know what Animal Planet was. Was is a whole other universe just full of animals? How come she didn't know about it until know? She laughed at his remark "Well sure, a python might stand a chance, but you? You're just a worm." she said in a cold tone. She didn't cringe back when he leaned down to her. She was anylizing how to go on about this. It has been a long while since she has fought for anything. "Didn't I say that you would be on your own if something like this would happen?" she asked the humans, but mostly herself. Mei has never been the best fighter around and she has never been Vincent fight. Sure, the way she spoke right now was confident, but could she back it up? Why would she bother to help out humans anyways? What were they to her? She closed her eyes for a split second and took a deep breathe, then let out, to relax herself. Whatever. She was now itching for a fight. She opened her eyes and glared at Vincent, her red eyes burning for a chance to rip his throat out. Her lips slowly formed into a smirk as she spoke "Surely you're not planning to fight me? Oh Vincent, I thought you were smarter than that!" she said sounding genuinely dissapointed.

Kaito looked at Chisa, suprised to hear her giggle in a situation like this. So far there hasn't been any brutal fighting going on but he knew it was about to come. Maybe they should use that time to run away? But what if they get attacked by another pair of demons on the way back to Ichirou's place? He wished he was home right now. More than he has ever felt since coming here. He didn't want any of the people he met here to get hurt because of them. Seeing them now, it almost made him feel bad about not really trusting them from the begginning.
