All religions aside, let’s say that when you die there is a good place, where everyone is served on a silver platter and lives in first class and etiquette, and a bad place, where everyone believes in survival of the fittest and being the best of the best. What happens when you aren’t good enough for the good place but you aren’t bad enough for the bad place? Well, you enter a competition where the winners go to the medium place of partying, fun, games, politics, competition, and relaxation and the losers have to go back to Earth and live in chaos, pain, and misery. People who actually die in this game get their souls taken forever.
The competition is a maze that is the size of a flat planet. The timer is ten nights from the first sun set to the tenth sun rise. It’s a maze of traps and puzzles to get from the start to the end. There can be more than one winner, so alliances are encouraged, although it’s suggested you go solo at first so you can get to know the knew body you were reborn in the spirit world with. (So we are an alliance that forms later in the role play.) Souls that have gotten their souls taken in the past are reborn as monsters that are obstacles for the players.
Rules:
You have to have at least one character in our alliance, but you are allowed to make more characters as we go along to be competitors or new members. This is a good role play for role players that like making characters or get bored of their characters easily.
On the same note you can kill off your own characters when you tire of them. However try to do it well, don’t just write a one sentence out of no where character death.
You are allowed to be a monster character, but ask first.
There are different kinds of the monsters depending on who their souls were when they were living souls in the maze.
Bachelor/Bachelorette: These monsters are shape shifters that are extremely attractive and friendly at first, but once they have you completely lured in they turn psychotic and turn into a humanoid snake that can poison or suffocate your soul. These monsters purposely kill competitors they like so that they will get to be with them for eternity. However if they hate you they will try to make you lose the contest so that you might come back as someone they like. They are generally people who were very manipulative or charming in the maze.
Karmas: Very kind But depressing monsters that generally leaves players alone. If you save their life they will save you in the future. If you attack them they scream a banshee like cry that will make you deaf for the rest of the contest. If you sit with them and comfort them, they will help you if you reach a dead end. If they spot you killing someone, they try to kill you. They are generally people that died saving someone’s life or got walked all over/used during their time in the maze.
Innocents: Very adorable, playful monsters that are full of energy with a sweet and shy nature. They can literally bounce off the walls like a ping pong if you give them sugar. They will constantly beg for sugar and if they like you they will follow you everywhere, and attempt to ‘help’ you with different task when really they only make things worse. However anger them and they will try to kill you. They are generally souls that died as children on Earth or souls that died from a monster in the maze.
Damsels: These monsters are extremely fragile, graceful, and clever spirits that will appear to be in danger. If you ignore them, they will appear in your dreams doing random acts whenever you close your eyes. If you try to save them, they’ll kill you. Damsels are souls that were environmentalists, advocates, preachers, priests, or someone who ranted about a certain topic a lot. Most commonly, they were feminists on Earth.
Villains: These guys are honest, talkative monsters that will help you out and give you tutorials, monologues, advice, and warnings at the beginning, even warning you not to trust them, but then they will be silent killers later. These monsters were typically people who were enslaved or went through a drastic personality change on Earth.
Other: You’re allowed to make your own original monster, those were just suggestions.
The souls in the maze that had died on Earth were reborn into a body that represents who they were on Earth.
Examples: If you went through a lot on Earth but still continued to accept challenges and chase passions, you’d have increased strength. The more challenging your life was the more strong you’ll be now. Literally a What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
The more you loved yourself (real, healthy love not obsession.) on Earth the more beautiful your soul would be, ergo the more you hated yourself on Earth the more ugly your soul would be.
Your age would be
So it’s literally the inside that counts. Strong personality means strong soul, confidence is real beauty, your souls age is what age was the prime of your life, etc.
Your first post will be your dying moment as a human. That way you can explain why your soul character has the traits they do.

Appearance (soul): Nothing has really changed
Clothes (when alive):
Clothes (after they die):
Personality: She's one tough cookie, and she's hella protective (in a motherly sort of way), she's the glue that can hold two completely opposite people together and she's quite snarky and sarcastic. She's quick-witted and rational, and she's chill as heck even in the most bizarre or nerve-wracking situations.
Fears: Just about nothing!
Desires: To successfully protect the ones she loves. If anyone close to her dies, she sees it as a failure on her part. (Also, she wants a pet snake, because it's always been her dream to have a snake, if that counts)

Name: Jamie Sullivan
Age (when they died): 14
Age (of their soul): 14
Gender: Nonbinary (you can use whatever pronouns you want though)
Sexuality: Pan
Nationality: Mexican
Appearance (when alive): Can't find a good reference photo so I'll just describe them; short, light brown hair. Light brown eyes, and circular glasses.
Appearance (soul): Same as above, except with a single black streak in their hair. They don't necessarily need the glasses anymore because their eye sight got fixed when they died, but they simply took and out the lenses and still wears them.
Clothes (when alive): They don't wear the same glasses as in the picture, though.
Clothes (after they die):
Except also with the a beanie because that's thier iconic headwear.

Desires: To make the world a better place, to make everyone happy
Skills: Not a very good fighter, but they often keep everyone motivated and they're good at technical things.
Powers: Becoming invisible (they'd have to take off their clothes to disappear completely, though), and teleportation (it tires them out just as much as walking the distance would)
Weaknesses: They bruise relatively easily, and when they're attacked they more than likely will just run rather than fight
Bio (Just jot notes of what their life on Earth was like): Both of their parents died when they were young and so they lived with their aunt, who wasn't very accepting at all. She would often make Jamie dress as a girl and go to beauty pageants, and has threatened to kick them out on more than one occasion. One day, when they were in a highly heated argument, Jamie just stormed out and walked for hours before realizing that they were lost. Long story short, they were stabbed to death and mugged.
