WARNING: This will be a serious, violent and bloody roleplay based off the anime "Higurashi no Naka Koro ni", with some elements changed. If you are not comfortable with that, then you probably shouldn't participate in this one. I'm sort of trying to test out and see if I could roleplay as someone like that.
Story: Our story takes place in the quiet, rural village of Hinamizawa, June 1983, population of 2000 people. It's a peaceful little village, and every year they have the annual Watanagashi festival, a celebration to give thanks to their god, Oyashiro-sama.
For you, it's your first festival, which is approaching in a few days. Yet, you're not sure why. You've lived in this village your whole life, right? So why can't you remember the festivals from the last three years, from when they first started?
The truth is that no one ever remembers the festivals each year. They know they happened, they just don't remember what had happened.
For every year, after the Watanagashi festival, someone always goes insane, and people are murdered. And at the end of the year...it starts all over again. Time loops itself around, repeating the year of June 1983, starting the madness over again with someone different being paranoid or murdered.
It's like an illness. It starts with people laughing for no reason...and being unable to stop laughing. And they say that laughter is contagious. So when someone starts laughing like that...that's how you know you should start worrying. When your friends around you suddenly begin to act strange, will you be able to survive for another year? Will you discover the truth of why these events happen? Can you distinguish between reality and hallucinations? Or will you lose your mind or become a victim of another senseless murder?
Not very many Rules
No Godmodding or Powerplaying
Swearing and romance is PG13
Be respectful to the other players
Grammar and decent spelling is a must
You can't kill someone without asking them first through PM (remember, when the year ends, people that die come back to life and everyone insane goes back to normal again, but the characters themselves don't know this, and when they come back, they pretend that its normal and that they never died/went insane, yet they might start having flashbacks of what had happened without knowing why)

Personality: (What you are like normally BEFORE the strange events happen)
Weapon: (everyone always has their own weapon on them, from something like a knife to a tazer, to a baseball bat or a hammer. Pick something sort of small or normal that people wouldn't normally question your character having)
Status: (Normal, Insane, or eventually Murdered, and you can combine Normal/Murdered or Insane/Murdered)

Name: Amy
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearence: http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/6275/682005120sadanimegirlez4.jpg (without the ears)
Personality: Friendly, kind and gentle, a little quiet and shy at times. She doesn't look people directly in the eyes or tends to stutter when she talks. Belittles herself at times and is usually one to want to help out others in need and is very respectful to others. Is always smiling and gets worried when others don't. She also likes cute things like kittens and such.
Weapon: Chef's Knife
Status: Insane (might switch to being possibly murdered later on)
Bio: She lives alone and likes gardening and cooking, which explains the Chef's Knife. Amy, for reasons she can't remember, gets excited when the Watanagashi festival is about to happen. This year though, she suddenly begins to have suspicious thoughts for the people around her and possibly hearing strange voices. She then begins to find herself laughing for no reason and becoming fascinated with blood, now attempting to kill people so that she could watch them bleed and "please Oyashiro-sama". It is even suggested that she wants to collect the blood to use it for her dishes or her flowers.
