Rp sample: The day begins softly with a hazy sunlight peeking over the buildings in Rukongai. Sin wakes up to find himself in an alley. He remembers being killed by a hollow after a party with some friends of his. Now he is wearing strange brown robes in an alleyway that seems to be part of a some medieval Japanese village.

Shade gets up and starts to walk around and tries to get his bearings in his new situation. He quickly checks his body to make sure he is in one piece. The hollow that killed him split Sin in half and he becomes confused and frightened when he sees no scar or sign of injury. He sees a person walking down the street with a bag in hand. The man is a tall and strong looking man with a classic black gi on. The back of his gi has an emblem of some sort of dojo on it. Sin goes over to ask the man what happened to him.

"Ahhhh... you must be new to Rukongai. This is not a dream or a figment of your imagination. You died most certainly, just like everyone else. This is the Sixth district of Rukongai in the Spirit World.

Shade stepped back because the sheer weight of the situation was suffocating. He didn't know what to do or where to go. The man walked away and Sin was left alone on the street. So much for a great first day...
