Young Writers Society

OK, so I'm starting up a storybook, and I'm not sure if it'll kick off or anything. This is, by the way, my first storybook, so yeah. This, by the way, is a comedic storybook, that doesn't quite make sense.

Quite simply, a group of humans work in a restaurant, but, as usual, there is a fantastic twist; they don't serve any ordinary customers, they serve the Deities themselves! And I'm not talking about any old gods of existing mythology, I'm talking about Deities that spring into being by those who worship a certain thing, the Deities that exist because if they didn't, where would the world be?

However, two things have gone magnificently wrong; Brisket, the god of inspectors, has declared the restaurant to be unsafe, insanitary, and dangerous due to the insanity of most of the staff, while Ashelos, the god of sunlight, has decided to overthrow the head deity, Deis, and is destroying the deities who refuse to follow him.

You must take on a role, either one of the kitchen staff or one of the Deities, either allied to Ashelos or Deis, either for or against the closing of the Restaurant. Have fun!

-Rules-

*Do not kill other characters without permission
*Keep it about PG-13, okay? Romance, yes, violence, duh, intensely graphic scenes, no.
*The standard maguffin, okay?
*If you want to back out, kill your character in the most imaginative way possible.

Charrie Sheet For Staff:



Charrie Sheet For Deities:



E.G. (This one is mine, all mine I say!)

Name: Dave

Form Taken On: A slightly worried, 5'9" young man, about twenty-one or so, with shaggy, light brown hair and deeply shadowed gray eyes. Wears casual brown and gray clothing that hasn't been washed for decades. He hasn't shaved either, but doesn't have a beard as such. His nails are bitten to the point of raggedness.

Picture (if you must):

Deity Of (Be Original): Forgotten lines. Quite simply, if, anywhere in the world, someone forgets his or her lines, he will materialize and scream the line at them.

Favorite Food: A chicken tikka masala with extra lime pickle.

History: Dave used to be a human, until he did the worst thing a mortal can possibly do; save a deity from being hit by a car. Thus, he was given a mandatory reward of becoming a god; as a student in drama, with so many of his classmates forgetting their lines, he foolishly chose to become the god of forgotten lines. Bad idea. He is doomed to randomly appear at plays around the world, most of them in public schools, and shout the lines until he is hoarse. He gets sleep when he can.

Personality: Dave hates being a deity, mostly because he hasn't gotten a proper sleep in about three decades. He is twitchy at times, dozy at others, while he can get intensely annoyed should he be woken up from a quick nap for no reason.

Alliance: ... sigh... Deis (Ashelos sounds like one of the Conservatives he was really against). And the restaurant being kept open.

Sane?: Probably not; slightly unhinged at best.

Other: Up for love.

This sounds really cool!

Name: Kori Duvall

Age: 20

Appearance: Kori has jet black hair and icy blue eyes. She wears a lot of eyeliner so her eyes really pop. Her skin is pale. She is average hsight but she is skinny even though she eats all the time

Picture (if you must): None

Job In The Restaurant: Sue Chef

History (Why Are They In The Restaurant?): Ever since Kori was little she loved to cook. She came to the restaurant at seventeen and has worked here ever since. She came to this restaurant because it was the only one who would take her at that time because every other restaurant turned her away because the way she looked.

Favorite Food: Pasta-you can do so much with it!

Personality: Kori is an outgoing person who isn't afraid to be herself or voice her opinion.

Alliance: Kitchen staff (would that be the Ashelos?)

Sane?: Yes

Other: None

This sounds fun.

Name: Schuyler

Form Taken On: An eccentric woman who is 5'6" with purple hair that ends around her waist. Her eyes are bright blue with silver specks in them. She always wears a short, trendy black skirt, a baggy grey t-shirt, and never wears shoes.

Picture (if you must):

Deity Of (Be Original): Rebellion. Like teenagers disobeying their parents, stealing pennies from the 'take a penny' plate used to make change, going against a dress code, etc.

Favorite Food: peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches

History: Schuyler's mother always told her stories about the gods and deities. She always dreamed of being one, but her mother told her she could never be one. Determined to prove her wrong, Schuyler sold her soul to Deis in exchange for becoming a deity.

Personality: Rebellious by nature, of course. She loves to laugh and pull jokes, to talk with people, and to do anything generally unexpected.

Alliance: Ashelos and keeping the restaurant open. Hey, rebellion is her thing.

Sane?: Nah, she's cracked. But it's hard to tell.

Other: Since she has sold her soul to Deis, being in favor of Ashelos will certainly prove difficult for her. But, as always, she will be determined to do what she wants.

Name: Kendra Lewis

Age: 17

Appearance: She has dark brown hair and tan skin. She has bright green eyes and is thin and atheltic.

Job In The Restaurant: Waitress

History (Why Are They In The Restaurant?): Kendra is working to support herself, her brother, her sister, and her crippled father. She basically replaced her mom as soon as she died, and after her dad returned from the war to find his wife dead, he began drinking, and left Kendra to do the work.

Favorite Food: ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH POTATOES!!!

Personality: Kendra is a joker, even though she has a tough life, she can always make people smile. Basically, its a mask, but no one really notices. They just notice her advice and her smile.


(I'LL FINISH THIS LATER!!!)
Alliance:

Sane?:

Other:

Save spot for Deity.

Edit: Porfile.

Name: Rune Cashile.

Form Taken On: Human, silvery-pale blue hair and sparkling amber eyes. She's tall thin and athletic but secretly strong, as secrets fuel her powers. (And a lot of people have secrets.)

Picture (if you must):

Deity Of (Be Original): Goddess Of Secrets. (hope that hasn't been taken...)

Favorite Food: Grapes, Strawberries and chocolate... Odd combo.

History: Rune was born of secrets and has been around for a very long time, taking on a different form every hundred to thousand years. Now she's in trouble. Ashelos is keeping secrets from the others...secrets only she knows but doesn't know.

Personality: Shy, quiet and kind. She's no where near evil enough for Ashelos. Rune can be cruel sometimes but that's rare. She tends to keep to herself a lot, but will help out a fellow Deity in trouble.

Alliance: Deis, I guess. (She's not evil enough for Ashelos.)

Sane?: Probably not.

Other: Rune has her own secret-she was never just a deity. When the first secret was made, she was the appointed, still human, secret keeper...and with secrets, comes power. Eventually she was granted immortality and dubbed 'Goddess of Secrets' by Deis.

Although, she loves her job.

Favorite Food: Fergie doesn't like food, she eats as little as she can. Although, she loves rearranging food and making it look pretty. Just not eating it.

Spot for a Deity! =]

Name: Ericius Derwent

Form Taken On: A young and lean orange-haired man who is blind in one eye. Looks about eighteen, and is quite skinny. Walks around with a limp, and usually wears a blood-red trench-coat on top of a white button-down shirt.

Picture (if you must):

Deity Of (Be Original): Nightmares and retribution.

Favorite Food: Ratatouille and lasagna.

History: Ericius lived all his life in an orphanage, having no friends or family at all. Because he had excellent results in all of his exams, he was sent to study at a renowned preparatory school. He didn't talk to his fellow classmates much, and soon he became it, the one who the bullies picked on. He forced himself to ignore the teasing from all of his peers until the bullies started to beat him in front of all the boys and girls in his form. From then on, he had nightmares of the beatings every single time he closed his eyes. Distraught, scared and afraid, he locked himself in his room and forced himself to stay awake, while swearing revenge on the world that had abandoned him. He died from lack of sleep soon after.

The Deity of the afterlife pitied him, so he/she decided to grant poor Ericius a wish before he went to the afterlife. Ericus thought about all the things that he had endured, his injuries and scars, and replied that he wanted to become the Deity of nightmares, so that he could give them [the bullies] what they deserved. The Deity had no choice but grant that wish, for Deities have to stick to their promises, or else they will be punished by Deis. During his transformation to a Deity, he lost his right eye and broke his left leg for unknown reasons. He has walked with a limp ever since.

Personality: Ericius is very moody and melancholy. For a Deity of retribution, he is pretty calm and doesn't loses his cool often. Is very calculating and indifferent to others; he is also impeccably clean and hates when people are messy. He doesn't talk much, and he might rub people the wrong way, but he is actually a very kind and compassionate person.

Alliance: He's not very sure yet, but he definitely doesn't want the Restaurant closed --- it's the only place that cooks his ratatouille right, or he says.

Sane?: Yes he is.

Other: Ericius might be up for love, but it's his choice.

I think this is dead...
