If you haven't heard of Durarara!!...
Here is a summary of the plot and what it is!
Durarara!! (デュラララ!!), often shortened to DRRR!!, is a Japanese light novel series written by Ryohgo Narita, with illustrations by Suzuhito Yasuda, that has also been adapted into a Japanese anime series. Mikado Ryūgamine, a young boy who longs for the exciting life of the big city, moves to Ikebukuro to attend Raira Academy with his childhood friend Masaomi Kida, whom he has not seen since he was young. After the two meet at the train station, they set out to explore the streets of Ikebukuro. Masaomi warns Mikado about people he doesn't want to cross in the city, such as the violent and superhumanly strong man Shizuo Heiwajima; the information broker Izaya Orihara; and the mysterious gang known as "The Dollars." After running into some of the side characters, Mikado sees a local legend called the "Black Rider" who rides around Ikebukuro on a black bike that occasionally neighs like a horse and who is rumored to have no head under her helmet. The "Black Rider's" real name is Celty Sturluson; she is an Irish dullahan who is in Ikebukuro looking for her stolen head. The narrative follows all of the characters equally, showing how their lives intersect and create a greater plot line from each character's knowledge of common events.


Yeah, I recommend you go read the light novels, manga, and anime! They're very interesting with minor changes to the anime (ex, when we first meet Izaya). Romance is possible, combat is very likely.

Dulalala was basically what Yen Press thought is translated to, thus the random title of this RP! :D

Okay, now to the actual plan for this RP! It'll be a group RP depending on how many replies this gets. I'm looking for people to play as their OCs (if some are similar to canon characters, it might work out...possibly). The only canon characters I might keep in are Celty the dullahan and Shinra the shut-in doctor. As for setting, this will take place in Ikebukuro or another large city! If we decide not to do it in Ikebukuro, then we'll just say Celty and Shinra are on a very long vacation. :S Also, gangs are involved in the series, so we'll have a colorless gang called the Foresse. You may lead a color gang, just talk to me first to see if it's okay.

Like I said before, I'm cool with OCs similar to canon characters. So, for that, I'll make a template for you to submit for a character you created, plan on creating, or just have in your head.

Template
Full Name:
Alias in Chatroom:
Nickname(s):
Age: (preferable 16-24)
Species:
Occupation:
Description:
Personality:
Similar To (if similar to someone in DRRR!!):
Known For: (put none if not known... yet...) Ex. Shizuo = Strength, Izaya = Info Broking


Feel free to be descriptive with the template or not! I don't care.. Heck, you don't even have to use it! xD

I'm cool with you playing two characters, but only TWO! If you want to play Celty or Shinra, I won't count them since we might not need them unless we want lots and LOTS of action!

...Well, that was pretty lengthy. I'll edit this later if theres anything I forgot! I'll also reply with a template for my character(s)!

PM me if you want to do this 1x1!
Magic 30%
Some magic. Few can use it, but most of the players probably won't have it. Magical characters will likely believe that they are all alone.
Technology 50%
Modern
Combat 40%
Unrest may be part of the setting, but any scenes that happen to involve combat may be summarized.

Details: Freeform, adjustable length posts, long-term RP partner preferred.

Full Name: Hibiki Atsuko

Alias: Hikou

Nicknames: Atsukki, Uko, Hatsune (For some reason, one of her friends think she's similar to some fictional character that sings.)

Age: 19

Species: Human

Occupation: Hacker (When free) Bartender (At Night)

Description: Hibiki, although being sleep deprived most of the time has quite a healthy complexion, with a bloom of pink in her cheeks and a vivid gaze created by the round, almond shape of her bright green eyes. She has black hair with aqua colored highlights, the right side of it shaved off while the left side grows long to her lower neck, (Think Uta from Tokyo Ghoul hairstyle but a bit more feminine) Hibiki uses contacts to make her left eye's iris blood-red and her right eye's iris a vibrant blue. She is quite average on standards of her body, not to pudgy but not too slim either. Her wardrobe consists of brightly colored button-down shirts, t-shirts as well as skirts, dresses and shorts for spring and summer. She has thermal shirts, hoodies, heavy jackets, jeans, windbreaker pants and cargo pants for fall and winter.

Personality: Hibiki is cool, calm, and laid back, on the exterior, but on the inside she is always plotting, one step ahead of all in the city, thinking for every contingency. She is always neutral if there are factions fighting, instead of helping one or the other, she helps herself. Hibiki is solitary, she prefers it to stay that way, her only social life online, under an ambiguous usename, something in which nobody can assume anything about her. She has a diverse taste in everything, from food, to music, liking to be balanced in her interests. Most of all, she thrives upon others, not depend, but thrives, when others are in contact with her, while she's giving you the information you paid her for, she could be sifting through your e-mail and messaging history.

Similar To: Izaya Orihara (Kinda, she's female, and doesn't antagonize people.)

Known For: Bartending, for now.
