my original series

[zero]

alright, this is gonna be my first original series since I wanna be an author: Here's the plotline

A death reaper, those who are known as the ones who come to take the souls of the dead and fallen, is exiled into the human world after letting souls escape his grasp since they were innocent, AND he let him be re-incarnated instantly without Shinigami's or Kami's permission. So while he's stuck in the human world, he must hunt down demons disguised as humans on a list being updated daily by the Shinigami. All while maintaining his guise of an orphaned high school student. If he is ever found out by the humans that he is a death reaper then his name will be added to the Shinigami's list of souls who are to be immediately taken for judgement. Can he keep up his job without being found out by his classmates, some of which who are mediums and psychics, or paranormal researcher wannabe's? Things get worse.....the more demons he has to reap, the more they find out who he is and the stronger they get. On top of that, the death reaper was human once as well, he died only 50 years ago! And the city that is his territory is the same one he lived and died in! Will he survive?

His weapon of choice is his Katana, Final Fantasy. It has runes carved into it, which once released, will bring out his reaper scythe and change him into his death reaper mode. Along with the Scythe, he had some control over the elements, and is able to wipe or alter peoples memories, but only a limited number of times per day. So if he fails to get someone who's seen him, he's done for.

His Scythe and Death Reaper form goes into various stages depending on the situation and kind of demon he is facing.

He also knows and is a master of martial arts known to both humans and demons, along with his kenjutsu and scythe skills.

Names(cities and such)
Locations(Cities and other countries the characters might vacation in)
Demon types(weak, medium, strong?)
The Reaper and Scythe forms(up to 3 or 4 levels)

Pretty cool idea, I'll try and help about the characters, may I make a suggestion. Try and think up a familly tree of the characters, same for the demons and write backgrounds for them.

Thanks for the advice, but I'd rather have a bunch of people help me. I've caught a cold so my brain is a bit down in the creative section.

He should probably have a couple of school friends. They should know and promise never to tell. If you want it to be like a steryotype, you'll make him end up falling in love with one of his friends who like follows him everywhere. If not, make him end up with someone bad who turns good. Then again, that's kinda steryotypical too. *shrugs* but it's your choise. It's a good idea though! The name 'Shinigami" makes me think of Bleach a little. It should take place in the future, so he can have tons of futuristic shi-stuff. Or modern times. Maybe not the past because you'll have to reserch ancient times and crap and that would take some time. I'll draw a girl for you! I'll make her as cute as possible! ;D Just give me personality and I'll come up with looks! I love making people! (Than again, if it was in the past, I could give her a cute little corset......)


AND ONE OF HIS FREINDS SHOULD BE A DEMON IN DISGUISE! BUT HE NEVER KNOWS CAUSE HE/SHE ACTS LIKE.....MARY!!!!!AND HE SUSPECTS A BAD KID WHO HATES HIM IS A DEMON, WHEN HE/SHE IS NOT, THEY ARE ACTUALLY ON HIS SIDE!

Alright, here's a relatively early chapter, but not the beginning.

When Takashi awoke, he found himself in a place he had no memory of. The other sides bedrooms usually consisted of a little bit of heaven and a little bit of hell decorations. Where he is right now looks nothing like it. "Am I in an.....apartment building?" he muttered to himself. He shook his head and sighed as his brown bangs covered his eyes. "Wait......my hair wasn't brown....." Then he gasps in realization as he rushes into the room nearest him, which turned out to be the bathroom and he looked at himself in the mirror.

The scream he did woke up half the city.

"DAMN YOU SHINIGAMI!" he shouted as he looked at the mirror. He saw himself, the exact same way he looked before he died. The same brown hair, blue eyes, and the same body tone. "All that work I did for those muscles....." he muttered, tears falling down his eyes. He also missed his long white hair and outfit that screamed 'I kick ass!'. He had been changed into a white button up shirt, jeans, and sneakers. Marching out of the bathroom, he found a scroll and a katana laying on top of the futon he had slept on. Grabbing the scroll, he opened it and saw Shinigami's handwriting.

"Since you are banished from the Other Side, here is your new assignment. On this list, contains the name of infamous demons that have taken up residence in this city. You are to kill them, reap their souls, and send them to me so I may send them back into hell. The katana laying next to this scroll is really your scythe Final Fantasy. However, its powers, along with your own, had to be sealed in it for you. To break it, you must simply say in the demonic tounge that you must unlock your powers so you can do your job. I have also taken away your power to not be seen by humans. So they cannot see you turn into a death reaper or else your name will be added to this list. This assignment has an indefinite time period, so I expect you to work hard to prove yourself again and come back. Also be warned that while most of the laws of physics do not apply to your human body, if you get a fatal wound in both the brain and the heart, you will automatically die. After all, death reapers only regrow one major organ at a time. Good luck, and take these fiends down. They are disguised as humans so I've allowed some of your powers to be in your human bodies, such as death sight, strength, agility, yatta yatta. Just do your job!

Shinigami."

"Do my job? I'll show you do my job!" Takashi muttered, glaring at the list. Just then, he felt a shadow creep up behind him. Turning around, he saw his fellow death reaper, Tanya.

"Don't even laugh." Takashi said before she could speak.

"Why would I, lover boy? Shinigami sent me here to tell you that you've been enrolled in a 'public school'. I have to give you this list of rooms and numbers." Tanya said. She looked stunning in the human world, moreso in the Other Side. Here though, she was wearing a red business shirt with matching undershirt and skirt. She also had on red high heels, while her black hair, brown eyes, and tan skin remained untouched, as were her curves. "Your first day starts today in one hour. I'm your partner in this mission, but only from time to time. See you later handsome. Ja Ne." she said, blowing him a kiss and vanishing out of existance.

"Women." Takashi huffed before looking at the list she dropped on the floor. He put that and the scroll in his pocket. Looking around the apartment, he saw that technology was a lot more advanced now than when he was last here. Of course, he has been to the human world plenty of time before, but he never really saw what really changed. He just did his job. However, time was not on his side, as he had to find out where school was. Grabbing the bag that was placed by the front door he found that his apartment was not a ground floor one. So he jumped over the rail without really looking how far down it was. He felt his feet touch the ground in one minute. He didn't even lock the door. Those who entered his place without permission would find them with broken bones.

"Now.....where is school?" he asked, totally lost.

[Pickle]

This looks great, though you have about a million other stories going

[Butterscotch]

I edited your one post to get rid of page stretchiness ^_^

[Banika Conchita]

It looks great so far! When it said matching undershirt, I thought it said matching underwear. I was gonna say, "How does he know that?" Oh, btw I'll have the pic of Aya uploaded somtime tommorow. ;D

[zero]

thanks.

Pickle: This is the story I want to publish someday. Although I have many other stories going, this is gonna take middle seat to all of them. The only other two I will put in front of it is Return of Unsung Hero and Enchanted Arms.

update
I've decided on the final form for Takashi. He is covered with a black robe, and nothing can be seen except the part of the arms that come out of the sleeves and the gleam of his eyes. His Scythe will change into a blade so he can use his greatest technique: World Creation. It will cut anything in two. If he keeps the Scythe form, he unleashes Final Fantasy, which is what the Scythe is named. The user lives out his last fantasy, and then in both mind and body, he is sliced apart.

[Pickle]

*nods* awesome. I hope it does.

We could always offer help like we were going to do for Zinovia *grins and gets out threatening items*

[zero]

well, I need help, just not the threats.

[Pickle]

Oh no, the threats are to the publishers.

[zero]

Pickle the threats go to rival authors, not the publishers. Publishers are friends, not food to be played with.
