Overnormal - Chapter 2: Bills and Battleaxes

Tymewalk

Welcome to the world! We are all roommates together, living in a totally normal world!

...well, one where getting answers wrong in school gets books thrown at you, everyone owns an RPG, and three people grabbing the last jug of milk at the store results in Mexican standoffs.

In this RP, as you may have guessed, everything is over-the-top crazy. Our goal is to simply survive day-to-day life... and have a little fun with it.

Remember, we're roommates, and we're in this together! For the most part.

Gameplay
Gameplay is based on absurd, ridiculous responses. In these cases, certain levels of godmodding and Mary Sues are allowed. However, be fair about it. It's one thing to always carry your trusty grenade launcher with you everywhere, it's another for everything you do to constantly hit people, you to always dodge everything else, and be able to summon nuclear warheads at any time.

NPCs
I will add NPCs to the story and control them. For example, shopkeepers. If you would like a shopkeeper, teacher, etc., apply and fill out the Role field with your desired role.

If these people become regular characters, I will add them with a sign-up as such.

Rules
A. Follow the TBG guidelines at all times.
B. Wait to be accepted.
C. If you leave your Species blank, you will get the default of human. If you leave your age blank, you will get 18. If you leave your role blank, you will get "Roommate". If you leave your name blank, you will get Joe Bob Jimbles John Billy McBobberoni.
D. Keep the story on track. Don't just randomly cut to some other scene for no reason, or completely disregard everything that's happened.
E. We all start off as roommates. You can move out later on, but that's where you start.
F. No godmodding/Mary Sues/metagaming/etc.
- This may be broken where allowed, see Gameplay. However, metagaming (using information you would not have received while in-character) is not allowed at any time.
G. These rules may change at any time. I can't cover every case.

There's no character limit, but don't go absolutely insane.

Personality: Explosive, hyperactive, inattentive (can't pay attention for too much time), yet lazy. Determined, creative and nerdy.
Species: Countryball Poland
Appearance (images are OK): Nuff said, a Polish Flagged ball with the gun if he's in danger.
Role: Roommate (of Shpore)
Notes/Other:
Priest units never get old. WOLOLO!

A fate can be changed, everything will change. A destiny is just a container that keeps the liquid in - in this case a person.
Raise your voice, and say it with Twilight Sparkle! I am a kitty cat and I'm steppin' on pillow, steppin' steppin' on pillow, steppin' steppin' on pillow.

Well let's begin

like
"You wake up in a dorm room"

Tymewalk

Everyone wakes up, sound in their beds, weapons of choice gripped tightly like teddy bears. The sun rises as they stir in their beds, stretching and looking out at the bright, new dawn. It's time to wake up, wake up! It's a great, big, beautiful day out there, and there's nothing stopping them from fully experiencing it.

So now, the only thing left is to go, and craft your own destinies! Fate may have a general idea of a plan, but it's up to you to write the details, with every movement and breath you take.
