A sound soul dwells within a sound mind, and a sound body.
This is a roleplay circling around the anime Soul Eater, though in this Maka, Soul, Black Star, and all other main characters other then Lord Death himself, are non existant. If you have not seen the anime, you could quickly look it up and read about what it is about as it is a fairly simple concept, though I would urge you to see the anime as it is amazing.The DWMA, or Death Weapon Meister Academy has been around for not too long now, only constructed a few years ago and has had many come in that short time, with no Death Scythes Lord Death was encouraging young Meisters to find a Demon Weapon partner and help prevent the Kishin from ever being reborn. This is where you come in, just coming to the school with your Demon Weapon ready to get Souls!
What Soul Eater is
Credit to Robbhus for this The core of it is a school with human beings partnering up with "Demon weapons". A demon weapon is a human figure that can turn his or her body into a weapon, or in some cases, multiple weapons. Normally though, they only turn into one. The weapon varies from demon to demon, but the core of it is simple. The goal of a demon weapon is to become a "Death Scythe" which is the final form of a weapon. Up till that point, the demon weapon can either turn bits of their body into weapons, but when becoming a death scythe, their body is a weapon and they can fight well on their own. For example, Soul from the anime became a scythe when switching into a weapon. However, when switching partially, one of his hands became the scythe blade, a very unpractical fighting style.
Maka (Soul's partner)'s father was a death scythe, and also became a scythe. He could make blades shoot out of most of his back and the back-side of his arms and could fight well on his own. However, his fighting power was still optimal when fighting with a weapon meister. In order to become a death scythe which is most demon-weapons goal, they have to ingest 99 demon souls and one which's soul. They can also eat human souls, but it is considered as a taboo and is illegal to do. If 99 demon souls are collected and they then collect one more demon soul instead of a which soul, the counter is reduced back to 0.
Soul wavelength is what is used to determine who would fit to be a partner. You can read more about it here
A resonance of souls means that the power of the soul of both the meister and weapon is switched back and forth between them, building up bonus energy. In the anime, Maka and Soul's main resonance was the "Witch hunter scythe" which was basically a power and size increase. If one of the souls are corrupt, the other soul will be corrupt as well as the souls are moving back and forth between the bodies.
The Death Weapon Meister Academy is a school built by the grim reaper, or shinigami. The shinigami uses death scythes as his weapon, which is why they are needed. In the anime, Maka's father was the grim reaper's main death scythe, though the shinigami is allowed to use any death scythe available. The reason the academy was built was to train new meisters, as well as create more death scythes, not only for the shinigami to use, but also for the meister's sake. having a death-scythe partner is a valuable thing. Death scythe power is a huge leap of power from a standard demon weapons. The death scythe is not necessarily a scythe though, it's just a name for it.
Some meisters are also able to either: See other people's soul wavelengths, which can be used as a tool for locating the last witch one need to kill, or to find standard demons. Very few are able to, but some also possess the ability to channel their soul-force and use it as a weapon. It is normally done by using his or her fists, and the soul reaction often resembles electricity. The power of the strike depends on the strength of the meister's willpower and soul. It can be anything from a weak push to ruining buildings.

Demon Weapon
Name: Felix, no known last name. Gender: Male Age: 16 Human Appearance: Weapon Appearance:
A bit of a nontraditional weapon. Felix comes in the form-factor of a tattoo or insignia that burns into the users skin. The appearance of the mark variate from time to time, but the most common one used is the one above, which is material bending. In other words, can move and re-create objects. The core however, is that one material cannot be changed into something else. The object only has its appearance changed, not the chemical structure. Personality: Felix is a bit of a counterpart to Sayuri. He is calm, laid back, and doesn't want to be too much of a hassle. He talks smoothly, confidently, and without stuttering. Ever. Type of Soul Wavelength: Bravery wavelength. (However, Sayuri and Felix' wavelengths don't match well enough to actually use this for anything at the moment. When trying to preform a resonance of souls, it normally fails and something bad happens) Background (Optional): To be added.

I looked it over, and I really thought about this, because of your demon weapons form but I think it could be very interesting, and since I know how well you roleplay I am going to say.... Accepted! I think we can probably start now, or wait for one more, but I say go ahead and start!
Thank you. The power would normally be used to recreate weapons anyways, and since it's limited to materials found around her, it sort of balances out I think.

~Tobi~
Tobi looked up at the school as he walked up the white steps, shining as if they had just been polished. He reached the top of the stairs, and turned around to see Nin behind him, quiet as always. He was told to wait outside the school for a teacher to show the new group of Meisters and their Weapons around the Academy.
~Nin~
Nin followed silently behind Tobi, looking around and seeing so many people stayed even closer, as she was very shy and didn't like large crowds, and Tobi seemed to be lost in his thoughts, looking up at the school until he turned around to her, which she returned with a half smile, and looked around for where the teacher was that was showing a group, that she hoped was small, around the school.
Sayuri slowly walked up the front stairs, yawning and cracking her head to the side. She rolled her shoulders a little and felt how much her body ached, but it still felt good. Good pain, the pleasant kind. It could hurt all it wanted, it was worth it.
The school didn't feel intimidating at all, despite the obviously large size and intimidating design. People were gathering up as expected. Sayuri didn't exactly want to go to some school, the only advantage of it was that there would be jobs. And jobs paid. Being disowned by own family meant empty pockets which meant no food on the table, which was bad.
Felix had his hands in the pockets of the blue denim-like jacket, the tie swinging loosely from his neck. From his view, Sayuri was clearly tired, but it wasn't so that they could just ditch the first day at school. Not to mention that there would obviously be girls he could flirt with, which made it almost worth it in itself.
They both stood by one another on the front plaza, Sayuri looking irrationality at everyone while Felix just stood there looking like an angel.

~Tobi~
Tobi was not waiting for long, but he had noticed a girl and a boy, probably a meister and her weapon come, and couldnt help but feel a strange feeling as he was looking at the girl, but he shook it off as he then heard a loud "Hey" from a distance, and and then another voice, but this one sounded older, and it was the teacher, with kids starting to gather he knew how Nin was shy and said to her "Stay as close as you want" in a kind way, to try to make her more relaxed, as she seemed to be worried.
((not gonna add Nin since she doesnt have much to say atm))

I think I pretty much covered everything that has to be mentioned))
Sayuri noticed a teacher appearing and sighed slightly.
"Anything wrong Sayu?" Felix asked from behind her, though all he got back was a casual shrug. "Wow, not even mad at me for calling you that" He laughed ever so slightly and walked up to her, laying one hand over her shoulder. "Come on, it'll be alright. If we're lucky, we'll go straight in, and be out in a month or two. However, giving up no-"
Sayuri pushed his hand aside and started walking slowly, spinning around, reaching her tongue out childishly. "Got'cha" She said, smiling. Felix laughed gently before speeding up, stepping up by her side again. "1-0 to you then" He said to her as they entered through the front gate, following the teacher.

((Wow I might have to put that in a spoiler in the OP, thats literally everything you would need to know xD))
Tobi and Nin walked together into the group, and followed through the front gate into the school, where the teacher begun explaining and showing the kids around the school. Tobi was not listening to them though, he had his attention on other students and what kind of people they are, some he could tell as geeks, others are show-offs, etc. He noticed one girl who seemed to be very different though, they were talking to their partner and acting silly, but still seemed like a very serious person, and the way he tested people he couldn't tell who they were off the top of his head were to challenge them, but usually they were boys, and not girls. He thought about it for a moment and then thought about how he should make a reputation on the others and he knew that people were able to fight, as long as a teacher was watching.
He turned to Nin and whispered "Nin, it's time" and Nin nodded. She transformed into a beautiful red sword, with patterns all along her hilt and at the bottom of the blade, though you could tell it was easily a deadly weapon if it hit you. He walked over to the girl, some of the others looking at Nin and Tobi as they said "Hey, wanna fight?" in a challenging manner, and grinned.
