Despite the influx of tabletop gaming, the superhero RP and Pokemon RP, I've decided to toss out an idea.
It's All Your Fault, Now fix It or The Bureaucracy of Life and Death
You wake up, a man in a suit and glasses approaches you, a pad of paper in one hand and a clipboard in the other. He looks to be nothing more then a paper pusher in a Fortune 500 company. "This is not good, not at all," He says worriedly, wiping the sweat from his forehead and checking the clipboard and noting the events on his notepad. From whatever incident happened, you look down to see, well, you or at least what WAS you. When you ask about all this, the man trembles and his glasses fog up. "As... as you can plainly see, you're dead." After getting at him for stating the obvious, he straightens his tie and tries to compose himself. "But, this is way too early. Way way too early. Oh my, the paperwork is going to be horrible. To get this all back in order. The higher ups aren't going to like this. Not at all." He looks through the charts again and then back up at you. What about me? You ask him in the calmest manner you can muster. "You'll have to go to the Bureaucracy and file a complaint. Now, I must get back to the office before the paperwork piles up." After he states that, a storm of papers flutter from his notebook and clipboard, engulfing his form before dispersing and flying off into the distance, leaving your batter/broken/torn body and soul behind, alone.
When you ask, "Where do I find the Bureaucracy?" As if on cue, billions upon billions of papers flutter down from the sky and start to build a shape. Upon completion, a strange building appears as the papers disperse and are sucked down into a hole too far away to see. It looks like a macabre mix of a medieval castle and stuffy office building, with papers shifting from one floor to another at high speeds. Now that we're here, it's time to find out what's going on and get your life back after this unfortunate incident.
Unfortunately, there are a few others like you already. Forming a line to the complaint desk as the small, world weary looking woman sits there looking bored and frustrated at the piles of complaints being filed.
Name:
Age:
Gender:
Cause of Death?
Why Should You Be Reincarnated/Brought Back To Life? (Circle your purpose and please state in the box below why this should be.)
Misc. (Please ignore this section as the board hasn't seen fit to exempt this part from the complaint process.)
The rest of this form is medical history and whatnot, errata from the last revision of the form and general guidelines to the waiting process. It's assumed you filled this out, but feel free to note it down in Misc.
However, the process does note that during the waiting process, you may be required to perform tasks for the Bureaucracy in order to get an approval and when your complaint comes up in the next board meeting, you will be needed to attend or have your complaint thrown out.
To clarify, I wanted to make this like an actual form you might get at a doctor's office or hospital. Cause of death is basically a summary of your character's history and the question under it is sort of like their personality.
