Monster Mash ((accepting))

[Maya Freana]

The lyrics are from Monster by Skillet. Note: this is not the whole song.

The secret side of me, I never let you see
I keep it caged but I can't control it
So stay away from me, the beast is ugly
I feel the rage and I just can't hold it

It's scratching on the walls, in the closet, in the halls
It comes awake and I can't control it
Hiding under the bed, in my body, in my head
Why won't somebody come and save me from this, make it end?

Ten years ago, many teens all over the world started going through a dramatic and horrific change. Due to a mutation in their genes, some became "monsters" when they started puberty. For many, their appearances have changed and they have developed odd powers. Some are able to control their appearances and look like humans, though they can never keep a normal form for long. Society views these poor individuals as monsters as well and many shun them for something that they cannot control.

My secret side I keep hid under lock and key
I keep it caged but I can't control it
'Cause if I let him out he'll tear me up, break me down
Why won't somebody come and save me from this, make it end?


However recently, an ad began to run on the television and just about anywhere else that one would see an advertisement. It was posted by Monster Mash, an entertainment company that took in runaway monster teens and sell them off to owners. The owners would take care of their housing and everything, so long as the teens agreed to fight for them in an arena. Most fights are to last one standing, however when the ratings for the show dip, owners will get together and arrange a fight to the death between crowd favorites.

It's hiding in the dark, it's teeth are razor sharp
There's no escape for me, it wants my soul, it wants my heart
No one can hear me scream, maybe it's just a dream
Maybe it's inside of me, stop this monster


Even faced with participating in brutal fights for televised entertainment, many mutated teens feel they have no other option, nowhere else to belong, though there are rumors that some teens are just handed off by their families, who have shunned them for what they have become. Either way, once the teens join Monster Mash and are sold to owners, they lose their rights, signing away the remainder of their lives all for the name of entertainment and the hope of having somewhere to belong.

I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster

Info

There is no escape from the compound where the monsters are held. It is in a well protected, underground cavern with many security measures in place to make sure that monsters do not escape after they are bought. During the day, all monsters are free to mill about the compound and the surrounding area. There is a bar, a cafeteria, and a hospital. Every owner has a house in the compound, where all the monsters in their possession live. Each house is just like a normal house, though there are cameras in most of the houses so owners can keep an eye on what's theirs, and the houses also each contain a kitchen, a common room, and several bedrooms and bathrooms. A few owners are known to stay in the same house as their monsters, whether out of preference or convenience. Either way, they rake in a fortune from the bets placed on their monsters.

During the night, monsters are free to roam about unless they are scheduled to fight by their owner. If a monster has a fight, they are expected to appear at the arena by a certain time, or face severe punishment. The rules of the fight all depend on what the owners decide, and it's over when they decide as well. Whether it be to the death or just last one standing.

Monsters have unique abilities and some have altered appearances as well. The more fights they participate in, the more in control of themselves they become. Owners are merely wealthy people who buy up monsters to win fights for them and in turn, get them more money. An owner can have several monsters in his or her possession, and can treat them however they see fit.

Rules

1. I am the ruler of this rp. What I say goes. End of story. If you argue with me, immediate blacklist.

2. At some point, if you put your characters in a death match with another character, you need to discuss who will live and who will die. Killing off characters sucks, yes, but being in a death match means you might die, so keep that in mind. And if you're an owner, that means you need to talk to the characters you own in pms and see if any are comfortable with dying.

3. This is not a constantly super happy slave/master roleplay. Remember that the monsters have signed their lives away. Owners can be cruel or kind or any varying degree and treat their monsters any way they want.

4. Keep it PG-13. Romance is still allowed, but keep it PG-13

5. No GOD-MODDING. The only god-mod I will allow is an owner punishing their monster, because that's pretty much been set in stone that the owner has complete control over that. However, owner killing their monster without discussing with me and the other person is not okay. If you god-mod, you will be warned and told to edit. Do it again, black-list, third time, a nuclear bomb drops down on only your character and disintegrates all existence of them.

6. Monsters only kill monsters if it is set up between the two set to fight and me. Owner will be alerted to set up the fight if it is needed.

7. Be nice to each other. If you're an owner beating the crap out of one of your monsters, that's fine, but don't be mean to each other out of character, okay guys?

8. Seeing as this is a literate roleplay, I'm assuming you are a skilled enough roleplayer to be able to insert yourself into the story somehow. My biggest pet peeve is people who constantly complain that no one is talking to their character when they make no effort on their own end to communicate with other characters. So you've been fairly warned, if you whine about no one talking to you when you do nothing on your end, I'll be sure to ignore you. This also means that if you are a monster needing to be bought, you should contact an available owner via pm to see if they'll buy you. Then said owner should contact me and let me know, if you expect me to buy up every single monster, you're sorely mistaken.

9. No using *this* or anything like that for actions. This is a literate roleplay. Please write it like you would write a story.

10. Pm me profiles and title them "I'm a fighter now" so I know you read the rules.

11. I reserve the right to add rules as I feel necessary.

Maya Freana

My name is Robert Shaw, but most people just call me Shaw or Mr. Shaw in public.
And I am 62 years old.
I am in fact a man.
People tend to tell me that I am a cold-hearted son of a b***h, and they're probably right. I love money, women, and betting on monster fights. I care about my prized fighters enough to give them breaks so long as they continue to bring in money and train my newer purchases to be like them. Always have to be bringing in the fresh product. In the public eye, I am spoken of as being kind and caring, since I do have a public appearance to keep up, I occasionally bring my fighters that are doing well to public events for the publicity and to make it seem like they're happier than they probably are..
Well my past is a little complicated but I guess I'll start with my rise into fortune. It was really quiet easy for me. I struck it rich first by inheriting a fortune from my wealthy father, then once that was in place I made a few smart business deals to back up my fortune. I was brought into Monster fighting by some colleagues and saw the value in buying a few and training them up to be prized fighters to add to my fortune. One of my first purchases was Amaya. She was the youngest monster in the first batch that came through, but it was her powers and her psychological evaluation that intrigued me. I bought another one along with her, though he was older at the time. I had my medical team monitor Amaya's disease closely, only allowing them to stop the medication for death matches. She's the only monster in my possession to survive this long, but the time and money spent has been worth it. .

My name is Cassandra Bellandier, but most people just call me Cassie.
And I am 12 years old.
I am in fact a girl.
People tend to tell me that I am dainty. Papa's always telling me to act like a lady, but I don't like acting all polite unless he's around to catch me. I'm still a kid, so I can get scared pretty easily. I do feel guilty about papa's hobby down here though. My monster--that's what papa calls everyone in the arena--is really nice, and he tells me there are a few others like that too!.
Well my past is a little complicated but I guess I'll start with I come from a rich family, and on my birthday last year, he said he was getting me a special present, a friend, since I was always lonely in our mansion. I thought I was getting a puppy or something, not a boy. Papa said the boy was his friend too, and was working for him. I didn't know until a little later what the 'work' was. Technically they're not my monsters, they're papa's, but he lets me come down and visit them when he's down here for his 'business'. My birthday came around again, so papa said he was buying another friend for me...
Here's what I look like. Cassandra

My name is Fiala Stone, but most people just call me Fira if I give you permission. 
And I am 27 years old. 
I am in fact a woman, thankyou. 
People tend to tell me that I have a rather sharp tongue. Given, I'm not exactly the warmest of people and can be slightly fiery and bi-polar, especially to other owners. I do however treat my monsters like my own, unless, that is, they disobey me. I don't take well to traitors, and they aren't welcome in my home. Once a monster seriously screws up, it's off to a death match to learn a lesson or two, though I give them a reward if they win. I'm hard to crack on normal occasions, but I'm always initially kind to my monsters, though tough love is sometimes called for. As far as my monsters go, I do sometimes take their words and comments into consideration, but in the end what I say goes. 
Well my past is a little complicated but I guess I'll start with the sob story I suppose. I spent the majority of my childhood in an orphanage with my best friend being a girl who seemed like the only family I had left. We constantly escaped to the streets, but in the end we always ended up back at the orphanage. When I was sixteen, I found out that my friend was a monster. She ran away and joined the Monster Mash. Of course, I watched her on television, and she even became undefeated for about a month, but there was a death match and she met a bitter end. It was painful to see, but before I was old enough to leave the orphanage on my own, I was adopted into a wealthy family that got its money from ways not all exactly legal. I then became an owner of monsters, having them fight for their lives. At first, the reason I joined was to drive her friend's old owner into debt by killing of all of his monsters, his source of income. However, even after the man who owned her died by a bullet, I still never managed to pull out of the business.

My name is Amaya Radford, but most people just call me Amaya.
And I am 22 years old.
I am in fact a girl.
People tend to tell me that I keep to myself. Over the years I have made the transformation from the cocky kid to the serious fighter. From those who saw me fight before, they knew I used to smile more, and I used to enjoy fighting like I thought it was fun, though now I'm told by practically everyone that I get dark and serious in the arena. I have a damn good reason to, and I am determined to do whatever it takes to stay alive. If people get to know me, I can be known to warm up, but no one has gotten to know me in a while, I certainly am not going to seek them out if they won't approach me..
I may be a monster but I can control shadows/darkness and cause serious damage with my claws.
Well my past is a little complicated but I guess I'll start with my childhood? What can I say? I had two loving parents who did everything they could to give me a good life, and they did. But when I turned twelve, things changed. I started puberty and I noticed my powers beginning to take form. It's also the same time I was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. One night during a bad fit, my meds weren't working and I lost it. My powers manifested through my schizophrenia into a monster and tore my parents to shreds, of course, I was in such a state at the time that I blocked it all out. All I remembered doing for a few years was just running away one day so my parents wouldn't find out what I was becoming, though a head injury a few years ago jarred the memories loose. I heard about Monster Mash and I was one of the first kids to sign up. I was also the youngest. My disease was controlled very well by my owner's medical team except for death matches, when I am taken off all my meds to let my insanity run free. I proved to be a great fighter over the years, and rather famous after surviving the fights that killed most of the kids who came with me. It was fun at first, until I had to start killing my fellow monsters. That's when I started to withdraw into myself and become even more dangerous. When I was fifteen, I disappeared from the arena for a year. Only my owner, two or three other people and myself know why, but when I returned, it was clear what my goal was. Win at any cost. And I became a much more dangerous opponent. Since then I have fought in too many regular and death matches to count, becoming infamous with the Monster Mash title and garnering fans, though no one seems to know about my background or my schizophrenia, which I can hide rather well except for especially taxing fights..
Here's what I look like. Human Monster
Unfortunately I seem to be owned by Robert Shaw.

My name is Falon Radford, but most people just call me Falon.
And I am 6 years old.
I am in fact a girl.
People tend to tell me that I am a timid child. I love seeing my mommy, but I don't get to see her that often. I work really hard when I have to work, because I'm afraid of getting in trouble with my owner. When I have to fight, I try to focus, because I don't want to let my owner down or get my mommy in trouble..
I may be a monster but I can make anything physical I imagine become reality and cause serious damage with my fists...well kinda....
Well my past is a little complicated but I guess I'll start with I'm a result of Mr. Shaw's attempt to breed new monsters. I've been raised away from my mommy my entire life so far, being taught how to fight and taught manners. I get to see my mommy sometimes, but never for very long. Mr. Shaw tells me I'll fight in the arena someday and that I'll be a really strong fighter. I've used my powers a few times, but my mommy says I'm still too young to use them a lot yet. .
Here's what I look like. Falon
Unfortunately I seem to be owned by Robert Shaw

My name is Emelia Carter, but most people just call me Em.
And I am 18 years old.
I am in fact a female.
People tend to tell me that I fit in this land of freaks pretty well. I'm tough and I don't let others think I'm weak. I've made a few friends here and I enjoy their company, though when it comes to fights I can quickly decide to kill a friend if the decision comes down to my life or theirs..
I may be a monster but I can create high frequency sounds waves to use to attack and stop my opponents and cause serious damage with my tail.
Well my past is a little complicated but I guess I'll start with my hideous transformation. Once I began to change, my parents couldn't stand to look at me anymore, so they took me an unfamiliar city under the guise that we were going to see a specialist, and when I woke up the next morning, I discovered that they had left in the middle of the night and abandoned me. I ran with other mutates that were abandoned like me, stealing what we needed to survive until I finally felt I was ready to join Monster Mash and give myself a little better of a life than I had.
Here's what I look like. Em
Unfortunately I seem to be owned by {Owner}.

Zelly-fangirl

My name is Riley Delle, but most people just call me Riley, but I'm not picky about names.
And I am 16 years old.
I am in fact a boy.
People tend to tell me that I am surprisingly calm. I've been called mature, but I suppose that's to be expected when your guard is up more often than not. Perhaps I can be a little harsh, but I just choose to speak the truth is all.
I may be a monster but I can control the wind and have extremely heightened senses, minus eyesight, and cause serious damage with my wind. I suppose it does sound silly, but it's quite the versatile element.
Well my past is a little complicated but I guess I'll start with my poor eyesight. As a kid I always needed glasses, and really thick ones too. I had the body of a child and the eyes of my grandparents, and they only got worse. There wasn't much the doctors could do, and I was blind by the time I reached high school. It was hard, and I admit, a little scary at first, but I came to adjust. It's just like they say, when you lose one of your senses, the others get better. But then I'm not sure when exactly my powers began to show themselves, so that could've been it too. It was when I found myself hearing the heartbeats of those around me that I knew something was off. My parents took me to the doctor and sure enough it was a sign I was one of those lucky teens the world over. I don't think I need to explain what happened next. Instead of being taken to a special center researching a cure, I was brought down here. With only some super senses to call powers, I admittedly didn't think I would last very long down here, but I discovered my wind powers during my first fight. I've been down here for a year now, so I've become accustomed to my situation, though I suppose it helps that I'm unable to see the gruesome fights and the condition of the fighters.
Here's what I look like. Riley

ReaperInBlack

My name is Xia, but most people just call me Zi. 
And I am 17 years old. 
I am in fact a female. 
People tend to tell me that I am rather quiet. Too quiet in fact. I lost my voice, so I can't talk to people unless I'm using an illusion. Other than that however I am rather kind hearted and sort of timid toward new people. I'm not much of a fighter, but if put in the situation for survival, I can be a monster. I don't like seeing people injured, especially by my hand, but when miss Fiala is counting on me to win, I will try to every extent of my power to do so. 
I may be a monster but I can Create illusions and distort dreams at will, as well as looking into one's self conscious to do so. and cause serious damage with my illusions. 
Well my past is a little complicated but I guess I'll start with my voice. I became mute as a very small child, but not by choice. It was a rare disease that ran in my family, so there wasn't much I or anyone could do. I managed to get by though. My mother was a heavily addicted and tried to sell me off many times, but I would always find my way back, mainly because I found out about my monster the first time she sold me. I accidentally stumbled upon my abilities and it caused them to kill eachother. It was a nightmare. Eventually, people found out about her and wouldn't accept me as my mother's payment any longer. I was seven when my mother kicked me out of the house. With no where else to go, I signed up for Monster Mash. I can control it now, but after I use it excessively, my hair turns blue for few days, and I can't use it again until it turns to its original color. 
Here's what I look like. Xia
Unfortunately I seem to be owned by Fiala.

My name is Cyryn Pierce, but most people just call me Cyryn. 
And I am 17 years old. 
I am in fact a male. 
People tend to tell me that I have a short fuse. I don't take well to wastes of my time, so just simply don't do it. I don't take crap from anyone, or should I say I don't exactly enjoy taking crap from anyone, which is probably why I don't take well to the idea of having an owner either, but my choices were slim, so there's no sense in complaining. I'm bold and straightforward most of the time, but I do bite my tongue when the situation calls for it. I may be stubborn, but I'm not an idiot.. 
I may be a monster but I can both freeze things and turn things to ice and cause serious damage with my fists/claws. 
Well my past is a little complicated but I guess I'll start with the day my monster appeared. It was summer and my cousin and I decided to go to the pool. Worst came to worst and he fell in. Not knowing how to swim, I tried to pull him out, but when I jumped into the water to get him, it started to freeze. I eventually found myself at the surface, but I was a monster made entirely of ice. I glanced over at the pool but the entire surface of it was frozen over. I panicked and tried to break the ice through, but I kept making more of it. Eventually, I turned back to normal and blacked out. When I came to, I discovered that my cousin drowned under the ice. How the ice was made in the middle of summer was unknown to the paramedics until I freaked out so much when they told me that I turned the ground around us into ice. My Aunt tried to search for a cure, but it was to no avail. In the meantime, I worked on controlling my monsters abilities and decided to go to Monster Mash. I mean, where else did I have to go? I came to the conclusion that I only turn into the creature made of ice when I'm in a state of panic.

Minnta Aloripma

My name is Arielle Fen, but most people just call me Ari, Fen, and occasionally Fenrir during fights.
And I am 17 years old.
I am in fact a girl.
People tend to tell me that I am a cold hearted b***h with some serious anger issues, though I do my best to control my temper.
I may be a monster but I can shoots blasts of energy from my hands and, when sufficiently angered, transform into a rampaging beast and cause serious damage with my fists, teeth, and claws.
Well my past is a little complicated but I guess I'll start with that I'm an orphan. My parents died when our house caught on fire when I was six, my father had only managed to get me out before the house collapsed on him and my mother. I don't have any living relatives, so I was shoved into an orphanage where the older kids always tried to pick on me. The bullying increased slightly when I turned twelve and my eyes turned gold, though it lessened again when I shot a kid through a window with a blast of energy on accident, breaking several bones. The bullying stopped completely when they pushed me too far and transformed into a beast, tearing the orphanage apart. I ran away and ended up joining Monster Mash just to have something to do with my abilities..
