The IC thread is here.

You all are looking for a vacation, and find a peculiar flyer one day. A train that stretched throughout several countries and a couple dozen cities had just finished building, and was open for business. As a promotion, the seats in the first car of the train, the car with the best seats, were on sale, 80% off. Only a selected few were able to seize this opportunity, and they would soon figure out why the tickets were so unbelievably cheap.

WELCOME ABOARD THE MURDER TRAIN!

Spoiler: The Hostess; Phantom 

"I am the host of the first car. You guys can call me... Phantom. Yes, I like that. Well let's get to the point. You lucky few have been selected to go anywhere you want on this train for an incredibly low price. But there's a catch. Only if you survive, that is. In this car is a murderer... maybe one or two, or even more than that. To survive, you must simply either be lucky, avoid people, or kill someone yourself. I will select who dies and who doesn't. But just because I pulled your name out of the hat, doesn't mean you will definitely die. This is a game of escape. Escape from death. But I warn you, don't even try to go through the windows or down to another car. They have been cut off and sent to another track. If any of you attempt to leave this train, your life is on the line."

About the game

• The host will select someone randomly to be the murderer (there can be more than one) that will be notified by PM. They will be given certain requirements that must be met.
• If the murderer is unsuccessful in killing the selected victim, or have not met the requirements, and new murderer will be chosen and the victim gets to live. However, if you're the unsuccessful murderer, you will risk death and be put high up in the victim's list.
• The killer will be given a maximum of five posts to kill. However, don't try to do everything in one post; wait for other people's reactions.

OBJECTIVE: Once the survivors are down to three people (including the killer), you will try to guess who the murderer is. If unsuccessful, the murderer may choose the end result of the story (i.e, killing the two last survivors, letting them live, even committing suicide, etc.). If the murderer gets revealed, s/he will die and the last two standing will get to enjoy the rest of the train ride in peace.

LAYOUT OF THE CAR

Spoiler: layout 

• There will be one cabin per person.
• There are two windows per cabin. Don't try breaking them. They are strong, reinforced windows that don't break, and as I said earlier; any attempt to escape will be noted.
• At the end of the hall of cabins, there will be a bathroom, kitchen, dining room, engine room, and hostess's quarters. Phantom's office is off limits.

How this game will be executed

• No one will know who the killer is. To kill a person, the murderer must be put in a room alone with the victim, in a specified time length. They do not need to write down any modus operandi or if they killed that person or not.
• All methods to kill a person will be slow and gradual, so they can interact with other people aside from the murderer before they die.
• If the host orders or demands anything, your characters must act accordingly (i.e. The host says, "Please go to the dining room person #1, and person #2." They will have to go.)
• The host has all rights to change the course of the story and add a turn of events.
• The host will also announce the deaths of players and how they died.

Example of a requirement PM:

Spoiler: Example 

Hello there __________,
You are the murderer, and this round, you must kill __________.
Here are your requirements:
1) You must be in Cabin #1
2) You must have some sort of physical contact with the victim
3) You must go into the Kitchen right after.

She was left at an fairly good orphanage at birth, left only with her name and an adult-sized victorian dress. Her name is pretty, but she despises it, and would use an alias whenever she can.

Spoiler: Yuuku's Character 

Name: Damien
Age: 17
Gender: male
Appearance: [x]
Bio/Personality:
Your first impression of him would be that he’s a cold, cocky bastard who doesn’t give a flying fuck about authorities or rules. With a permanent smirk etched onto his face and the calculating glint in his eye, he gives off an intimidating aura. He possesses a short fuse, easily blown by the slightest of movements causing him to lash out at you with physical and verbal abuse. However, he was not always like that.

During his childhood, Damien lived what seemed to be an ideal life with its only downfall being the high expectations given to him. He could always buy whatever it was that he desired, not knowing of the words “too expensive”. His parents, working as successful business owners, were always on work excursions, leaving Damien in the care of household maids. The only family he ever knew was his little sister, Kayla, who was the sole person he could trust. At first, he had always pursued the praise of his parents for his achievements, hoping that they would pay attention to him, although that was to no avail. After failing to obtain positive attention, Damien switched tactics and decided to seek the negative instead.

His grades during middle school dropped considerably compared to those in elementary. He started getting into brawls with the other students at school coming out on top as the most feared. With his new found power, he felt happier than he ever had. It sure beat following the orders of those around him like a dog. Kayla didn’t understand why the brother she used to look up to had suddenly changed so much. Every week, Damien would have at least one phone call from school about ditching school or getting into fights. Receiving this information, his parents were enraged by what their son was up to. They did not see where they went wrong in their ways of bringing him up as the heir to their business. Their once obedient child had changed into a rebellious teenager who showed no concern for the rules.

As high school approached, Damien took his rebelliousness to the next stage. He went ahead and had his once blonde hair dyed a flaming red along with a black dragon tattoo drawn on his back just to piss his parents off. While his parents yelled at him for his behavior, he couldn’t help but feel a smirk play itself on his lips. As time progressed, Damien found himself being in the leader position of the school gang. No one dared to oppose him or stand in his way. And even while he was ruthless towards everyone else, he still harbored a soft spot for Kayla. However, with university soon approaching, his parents felt horribly nervous about what was to happen to their son, the heir to their business. His grades were complete crap and he didn’t show up for the majority of his classes. At that, his father drew the line. Damien’s father threatened to disown him for being such a ‘disgrace to the family’ and if he didn’t pull his act together, he was out for good. Furious at this, Damien refused to be threatened by the one he called ‘dad’ and decided on leaving the family before he was kicked out. As he left the house, Kayla cried for him to stay so he promised her.
“Don’t worry, I promise to come back one day.”
He smiled and ruffled her golden, blonde hair.

When he saw the advertisement for a train that stretched throughout several and a couple dozen cities, he decided that was where he was headed. After receiving the news that his life was endangered on that train cart, he thought back to his promise with Kayla. ‘I’ll definitely stay alive.’

Spoiler: SparrowHawk's character 

Name: Stoella [sto-ell-a] Finnen
Age: 17
Gender: F
Appearance: [x]
Bio/Personality: Stoella is beautiful. There is no denying that not only does she look beautiful, but her personality supports it. She is kind, and likes to see everyone is happy. Her smile is the kind that lights up a room and makes you feel light and bubbly on the inside. She seems to have one large flaw though, she can't feel anything.* She hides is quite well and nobody has every found out about her incapability, as of yet. When saying she can't feel anything I mean that she is immune to emotions. She smiles and likes to see others smile and laugh, yes; but, she herself doesn't feel happy. She doesn't feel sad, nor angry or confused. She is in a constant state of feeling indifferent. As for pain, she knows what it is, but doesn't understand it when she feels it. She knows something stings, but doesn't realize that it is supposed to hurt and that she should be crying.

Her eyes seem rather strange, while one is blue the other is red. This is a birth defect. When she was born there was a blood clot in her eye, the Doctors did their best to fix it, it was either leave it in and make her blind in one eye or have a red eye colour. The parents chose to go with sight, Stoella was always greatfull for no matter how strange she seemed with her one red eye, she was still able to see everything clearly.

Her family consisted of two older sisters and a younger brother. Both sisters were rude, abusive. Her little brother may seem shy but he constantly made fun of Stoella. Perhaps this is what caused her immunity to feeling, but despite her abuse she loved her family like no other. Both her parents worked half time to be able to stay at home and look after their kids, they both were unaware of Stoella's sibling rivalry for she never told them. Stoella never fought back when her sisters hit her or when her little brother harassed her. She saw no advantage in hurting others.

Stoella then experienced abuse at school when her sisters told their friends about her. All the guys hit on her and this royally pissed off her sisters, so all the girls her sisters hung out with beat her up one day after school. A boy she didn't know intervened and defended her. This boy helped her home safely, she thanked him and they became friends. The boy's name was Will, he died one month later. He was shot by his abusive older step brother. Though they were friends and she enjoyed his company more than anyone elses, Stoella felt nothing from his death. Everyone tried to sympathize for her and she thanked them and seemed as though she was hurting, but she wasn't.

On her daily jog one day, Stoella noticed a flyer advertising for a train ride as an extremely low price. Now knowing why, she took the flyer home and asked her parents for permission. They knew about her situation at school because the principal had called them more then once about the other girls picking on her. They approved, thinking it would give her some time off from a harsh environment.
They had no idea how wrong they were.

Spoiler: [mojito.ice's character 

Name: 2nd Lt Carlisle Swanson
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Appearance: 6 foot tall, slender, long-legged man with short, neatly trimmed chestnut brown hair. (though with a few specks of aging grey) Weary grey eyes, pale face. Wears an olive military uniform, well-tailored and neatly ironed. Black boots with impressive glossy toes, gold lanyard on left shoulder, two silver medals on left breast pocket. Almost always seen wearing full-length matching coat with high collar, gold buttons. A black police-style cap on his head with silver badge.
Bio/Personality: Carlisle was raised in a wealthy family, with his father being the Commanding Officer of a noted regiment. He excelled in his studies with a private tutor but never went on to post-secondary education. He never liked the praise he receives from his parents and their friends. He thought he was unfairly promoted to an officer rank with his young age (father being the CO) and has therefore become unliked by his fellow comrades. Everyone avoided him as much as possible, and harsh rumors and insults were spread behind his back, leaving Carlisle feeling lonely and unwanted. He works through the night to make sure everything runs properly, wanting to do the best he can to be a good leader, but he has an impossible time trying to get some sleep. He is always exhausted, and at worst almost zombie-like. He is still young, but he appears a bit older from wear and tear. Deciding he needs time to escape from his cruel life, he calls for a sudden vacation.
Carlisle had always wanted to travel to new places and explore distant lands, or simply to admire some natural scenery and take time for himself. A cheap ticket to a fancy train seemed to suit his ideals, so he responded to the ad right away. When he found out about this little "game" happening on the train, it was too late. He was devastated to escape, but he knew there was no way. Carlisle had never killed anyone before, much less cause an injury to another. He does not want to kill, but would rather do the honors than be a victim. His paranoia gets to the better of him. Trust no one.

Spoiler: IceChateau777's character: 

Name: Tiffany Claudette Viscotti (Real Name: Timothy Claude Viscotti Jr.)
Age: 16 (appears 11 minus the PADS; October 17)
Gender: Ambiguous; though really a male, can go either way based on his appearance; only the Phantom should know Timothy is a dude. He dislikes anyone caling him "Tim" or "Timothy"
Appearance: 5' 6"; platinum blonde, wavy hair to her back (with some red highlights) with blue eyes; 38-C breasts
Personality: Timothy is a trans-gender female with a burning passion to be home in England. He migrated from Scotland to see a relative of his. Even though Timothy is a quiet, daring individual, he wishes to become a girl to see the bright side of things from the first start of life. His reaction to murder was neutral, since he has killed as a boy before and as a young adult. He also prefers to watch blood and murders anyway, since he grew rather sadistic. He shows as a kind, loving female who is withdrawn from others. However, he is not very psychotic, though the scenes of death turn him on. Sometimes, the smell of patchouli, cats, pollen, mold or dust drives him to a sneezing fit.
Bio: Timothy is a troubled, transsexual teenager with a passion for seeing killing and death. He is known to all in his home on Stratford-on-Avon, England... maybe except some other relatives of his. They call him "The Woman with the 3rd Eye" or "The Lolita's Bandit" since he was taking the surreptitious reputation as a psychothic serial killer. He seems to have some crazy tricks up his chests--and his sleeves. The surprises may be quite magical, so beware of this gentlewoman. He is otherwise nice, cheerful, and very, very, VERY (near-disturbing) feminite.

Tiffany was born a boy under his real name, "Timothy Claude Viscotti Jr." after Timothy Gerald Viscotti, his father. His mother, Agatha Marie Kilo, was there to care for him when they were in their 30s. Due to the unconditional belief that there was no such thing as things for men, Tiffany was raised to become a girl. Tiffany's room was so pink, he eventually thought that everything was pink. As he grew, he began to survive his years and hit his milestones correctly.

However, when taught the alphabet, he quickly learned without having anyone recite the letters to him. Tiffany recited everything himself Tiffany began to utter words a 2-year-old wouldn't usually say, such as "shit", "fuck", "wanker" or "whore". Strange enough, "Bitch" was the first uttered word in the end of his tot years. Shocked, Agatha asked him to say "mama".
He replied back with a baby voice, "Mother."
His father then asked, trembling as he trotted. "Say 'dada'."
Tiffany replied with his baby voice, "Father." In a nutshell, he baically learned adult language at two. Better yet, he probably ate the dictonary, since he was later one of the most gifted kids in the school.

Shocked, his parents screamed loudly and let him be for "two years while on their trip to Madagascar". After two years, a paper was on the front headline explaining that both were dead. Strange enough for a kid his age, he smiled at the paper. Soon, when it grew longer than that, Tiffany began to explore the house and eventualy managed it on his own as if he owned the house.

When Tiffany was four, he actualy began to teach himself to add, subtract, multiply and divide. When that excelled, he walked himself to school in a pink sailor's outfit at age six. Surprised at his wear, they allowed him to ear such there. However, when revealed the secret, everyone taunted him out of the school. Tearfully, he looked for a solution. He hated to hear the laughter of the snot-nosed brats.

When he found his dad's sword still left from the fencing meets back in the day, he charged with it at school by secet. Intelligently disguised as a parasol on a rainy day, he was able to surpass the systems. Walking to the bathroom, a bunch of men were in the girl restroom to reveal himself by taking off his undies. Tiffany immediately reacted by killing them in multiple slashes. Cleaning his rapier, he sheathed it and up, the parasol went.

He was also quite scared that he might be killed. Ironically, when he was seven, he tried to commit suicide. One of the "Ooga-Boogas"--an inhabitant that just happened to be hiding in their home--stopped him. It is unknown to why she hid, but it can be assumed that the "Ooga-Booga", Alice Dredline, wanted to help Tiffany live. Ever since that time, Alice has been cleaned and followed him everywhere he went.

When he was ten, Tiffany's hair was down to his lower thighs and he wore artficial PADS to conceal his identity. Alice was quite talkative of this, jestering of his breasts and his clothes. When Tiffany revealed that "she" was really a "he", Alice was a bit speechless but felt the same way.

When Tiffany was 12 (March 26), he ordered to get a transsexual transfusion from a boy to a girl. This is the day when the "he" became a "she". After being told by Alice that he was "flat as a pancake", he decided to defy her by getting a boob job and some feminine changes. He felt immensley relieved of his job well done, and he contnued to go on his merry way.

On June 12, when Tiffany was 14 something terrible happened to where it left her heart forever scarred. One time in Blackpool, Alice and Tiffany were playing real-life Frogger across the streets. Thanks to Tiffany's speed, she was able to play tag safely. Alice was rather reluctant to do the same simply since it was rather dangerous. Then, a speeding car was approaching her way going over 120 kilometers an hour. When Alice jumped, Tiffany tried to shout at her. It was no use, since she was fatally hit by the car. The car caused SO much damage, Alice's body was all bloody. Heroically, Tiffany went to save Alice from getting trampled by a tire from a car. Tiffany began sobbing out apologies, since she knew the game was dangerous. Alice forgave her and she died five minutes afterwards. Tiffany screamed her name many times, crying for her life back.

When Tiffany was fifteen, she hired ten butlers to take care of the home as he can go to Glasgow, Scotland by train to see her Uncle Donald Radford. Of course, she was quite rich back then. Afterward, she never returned from Blackpool. Tiffany first thought she was on the wrong train since it was dark and storming hard for England. When she got the invitation from the Phantom, she was utterly shocked that she even wanted her to be in such a 'Myon" (strange) place. When she sat down, the lady sounded rather seductive, but that wa her inner man talking to her. She didn't feel comfortable with the others in the train either.
