So here's the basic idea.
You're all characters in the Village of Hinamizawa. Some how, one way or another, your actions will influence its demise or retribution.
What I mean by that is the village will either Survive, or End, based on your performance and ability. Most likely it will end a few times before a successful one. I assume that most of you have already watched Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni. But if you haven't, here's a better explination.
-The Village of Hinamizawa has a big mystery behind it, every year on the night of the Watanagashi Festival, a person dies and another is 'demoned away'. Each time this happens, a major tragedy occurs which annihilates the entire village. When the village is anihilated, it is recreated forever in a loop, doomed to repeat the same fate again and again...unless you can break through the Barrier of June 1983.
The village is pretty much what you'd expect, underdeveloped, save the nearby town. I really don't feel like describing every detail, so please try to watch the first episode of Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni. Also, the nature of the story is very brutal and violent at points, depending on character actions, so death is almost inevitable.
Death-
At least one character will die in each 'arc' (world) that occurs. If it happens to be your character, don't sweat it, you'll have another chance again, likely soon. If you REALLY have an issue with it, then contact me and we'll work out a different character for you to be temporarely.
Canonical Characters-
I expect more than one person will want to be a character from the show. That's good because they are definately needed. However, when you do play one, make sure you know how they behave, any mannerisms they possess, etc. But since this is an Rp, they won't make the same choices, so you are only bound by their personalities.
Becoming 'Cursed'-
Characters will become 'cursed' no matter what. There is almost nothing you can do about it. I'm still working out how to play it out exactly, most likely, you will receive a PM from me. I'll tell you how badly Oyashiro-Sama's curse is on you, and ways you can act towards people.
New Arcs-
If you aren't able to achieve a good end, the village will be annihilated, and the world will be looped again. No character will have memories of the prior world, and different actions can be taken to achieve a better end. More and more information will be revealed to characters as each new arc happens, so it may influence their actions if enough info is learned. I will PM you if your character gets any recollection of prior worlds.
