CB Story
RULES
I will kill you off if it pleases me. (eerie laughter)
I get to choose your powers.
Fill out ENTIRE charrie sheet.
I will choose MCs. I cap the story at fifteen people.
PLOT:
The world is Earth. Everything is the same but for one thing that has dominated the culture like ivy covering an ancient wall: True Names. When you are born, your parents give you your official name, like Paul or Lisa. But as soon as you turn 13, your True Name appears on your wrist.
Often, a true name describes someone's best attribute or worst flaw: Kindness or Greed are common names. The names never describe physical attributes like agile or swift.
Unfortunately, there is one more type of name: the Forbidden Names.
These names are seemingly random, like Flame or Dachsund, and they give extraordinary abilities. Well, dachsund-summoning isn't that amazing, but-oops, getting off track.
People who have Forbidden Names are hunted down. It's not like the owners of Forbidden Names have a choice, but the True Guard doesn't care.
HERE IS THE FORM:

OHMYGOSH THIS IS SO AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T FIND ANY WORDS AT ALL FOR IT.
P.S. Brooke, I kinda started writing a weird story off of this, but with totally different charries. The only thing the same is the True Names. I promise I won't post it or anything (Unless for some reason you really want me to), I just wanted to make sure that it was ok with you?

Does this mean I have fanfictions now?
It's fine if you write it, just acknowledge that it is a fanfic of my stuff.
FEED MY DESIRE FOR FANFICS. FEED IT.
New part later, I PROMISE!

Your story's title should be something like (insert your title here): A True Names Fanfiction.
Sorry, I'm just sensitive about people using my ideas. Carry on!
BTW: I fully plan to publish this story. Wish me luck!

Part 18~
Shade woke early in the morning. She groaned and straightened, the emptiness of exhaustion combined with the emptiness of her blank wrist making her lightheaded.
The prison door began to grate open; Shade's mind was far from the idea of escape. She could barely focus as three forms were thrown into the cell.
Shade's mind snapped into focus as the cell door shut.
Balea. Somebody. Booksy. Saint.
All without their True Names.
They groaned and stirred, rubbing their empty wrists. Shade glared at Somebody, who looked down in shame.
"Shade," Somebody said, "they had my brother-"
"Don't talk to me," Shade snapped. Somebody's sides shook, Shade put her hands over her mouth.
Somebody had been in the same situation she had been. And Shade acted as though Somebody was at fault for what she did.
"I-I'm sorry-"
"No," Somebody said, "you're right."
"No," Shade said, "I would have done the same thing if-"
"Don't talk," said Abigail from behind them, voice hoarse and husky.
Saint nudged Shade hesitantly. "It'll be okay," she said, "we have a plan."
"What?" Keira said blearily. The others shushed her.
Peter walked rapidly along the way, his form that of a True Guard. He felt tall, stocky, older. It would have been fun were he not shaking in his boots.
He reached the stall where a Guard was stationed, clearly half asleep.
"I-I have come to relieve you," Peter said, voice deep.
"Thanks," the Guard said, "buncha Forbidden scumrolls in here."
"Scum," Peter said, trying to sound confident.
"Anyway, bye James," said the Guard.
Peter now knew his form's name; James.
Peter waited until the Guard had rounded the corner. He let out a shuddering sigh and, hands shaking, reverted to his original form.
The girl with light blonde hair-Leopard, Somebody had described her-gasped. "You have Somebody's True Name? Are you her brother?"
Peter shifted. "Er, actually... she transferred her True Name to me."
Keira gasped. "That's possible?"
"Yes," Peter said, "very possible."
Peter turned and saw the many vials of True Names on the walls. They were unlabeled.
He chose them based on who they reminded him of: cold teal for Keira/Psion, a black energy for Shade/Dragon, a golden liquid that looked like sunlight for Abigail. He handed them out along with syringes as he unlocked the door.
"Hurry," he said. The girls rushed out. Other Forbiddens lay unconscious in the cell.
"We have to leave them," Booksy said sadly. The others nodded sadly.
"Well, let's start randomly injecting ourselves and hope for the best," Saint said.
"That quote sounds inappropriate out of context," said Keira.
They pushed the syringes into their arms and crossed their fingers.

Oooo!!!! You know what would be hilarious?!?! If they got their names all mixed up and were trying to teach each other how to use them!!!!!

While story Somebody is full of sadness and remorse, real life Somebody is dying laughing and thoroughly enjoying herself.

(July 29, 2016 - 9:44 am)
